  Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, I was hanging out with
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: my friend. It was a Friday night and I was
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a senior in high school at the time. My parents
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: were gone and my friend Riley was over at my house.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We ordered a pizza at probably between eight and nine pm.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I know that it was dark outside and we were
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: both really hungry. We were just in my parents' living
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: room talking and watching something on TV. We were the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: only people home at the time. The neighborhood my parents
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: live in is pretty nice. It's not super wealthy or anything,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: but it's known to be very safe. I knew many
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of the neighbors and I had never known of anything
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: bad to happen there. So about twenty minutes after we
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: ordered the pizza, there was a knock at the front door.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I got up and walked to the front door and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: opened it. It was the pizza delivery guy and he
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: had the pizza with him. I got it and paid
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the guy, but before he left, he said something to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: me that was odd. He said that he didn't know
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: if I knew this or not, but he saw a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: guy hiding in the bushes on the side of our house.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I said that I was not aware of it. The
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: pizza guy then said that he just wanted to let
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: me know, and then he left.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I didn't really know what to make of this.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I walked back into the living room and set the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: pizza down. I told Riley about what the pizza delivery
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: guy said. Both of us decided to go and check. First,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: we went to the side of the house from the inside.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We walked over to my brother's bedroom, which had a
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: window that looked out to that side of the house.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: My brother was gone, so it was empty.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: When we looked out of the window, we couldn't really
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: see anything, though it didn't have a great view, and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: if there was a man hiding there, he would still
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: be out of sight. Then we both left the house
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and walked outside. We used the flashlights from our phones
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to shine them down to the side of the house.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: When we got there, we did have several large bushes
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: that would be fairly easy to hide in. When we
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: shined over the bushes, though we didn't see anybody, I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: didn't want to go right up to them and look.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Though I got a little bit closer and shine the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: light again. I could see much better now and didn't
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: see anybody. I felt confident enough that if the man
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: was still hiding there, I would have either seen him
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: or he would have moved. After that, we both went
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: back inside. It was a really weird thing. I had
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: never known anything like that to happen around the neighborhood before.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: We tried thinking of potential reasons for a person to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: be there at this hour, but I couldn't think of any.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: We tried our best to forget about it now that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we thought whoever it was was probably now gone. Just
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to be safe, though, we decided to get up and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: make sure that the back door was locked and no
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: windows were left open or anything. The back sliding door
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: which led to the patio was unlocked, so we locked it,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: but all the windows were shut. Afterwards, we had the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: pizza and watch TV. For probably the next twenty minutes
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: or so. Everything was going fine and we started to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: forget about the guy. But that was when we both
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: saw somebody passed by the living room window really quick.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Both of us saw just the end of it and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: didn't get a good look at the person, but somebody
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: was out there. It was really creepy. We both got
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: up and went over to the window and looked out.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: We couldn't see the guy any more, though he had
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: disappeared either behind a tree or another bush, or to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: one of the sides of the house. I wasn't quite
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: sure what to do. Would he actually leave or should
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: we call the police on him. Riley and I stood
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: around the living room with our eyes fixed on the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: front window. That's when we heard the noise of the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: back sliding door starting to open, but it stopped due
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to the door being locked.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: We couldn't see it from.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Where we were, but we both walked over to where
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: we could get a view. By then, whoever was there
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: was not in sight. I turned on the back light,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: which was for the patio and had been off. When
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it went on, just for a second, we both saw
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the man running away. He disappeared behind a few trees
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and was headed towards the direction of our next door
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: neighbor's back yard. Whoever the sky was, who was prowling
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: around was up to no good. We just hoped that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't come back. My parents got back home only
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes later. We told him everything, and for
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the rest of the night we were on high alert.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: But I don't think the guy ever came back. He
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: must have run off for good that last time. I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: really don't know what he was doing, though, but the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: one thing I do know is that I'm really glad
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that we locked that sliding door, or else the guy
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: would have been inside the house with us. This is
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: something that happened in the fall of twenty nineteen when
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I worked as a pizza delivery driver. I had the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: job for only three months. I would drive around the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: area near where I lived, sort of and just deliver pizzas.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I got a decent amount of money and tips usually,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: which was nice. I would also work late into the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: night sometimes. On one occasion, it was a Saturday night
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and I was working until three am.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: That's the time that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Our pizza place closed, and we would usually get orders
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: right up until then. Just about every week, I had
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a delivery to make a little bit after two am
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: on that night. It was in an area that I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: had been to before, and I headed out. It took
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: me maybe ten minutes to drive to the location. When
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I got there, I parked on the side of the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: street on what was a typical residential neighborhood. There were
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: houses all over the place, and I took the pizza out.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Of my car.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I began walking up the driveway to the house that
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I was supposed to deliver to. When I got up
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to the front door, I rang the door bell and waited.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: The pizza had not been paid for yet, so I
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: had to collect the money. This house, in particular, was
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: not the nicest looking house on the street, but it
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't terrible. Finally the door opened and a man answered.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: He looked to be in his fifties and was sort
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of big with a long mustache. He wore an old
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: looking white T shirt, and I could see that inside
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of his house did not look nice at all. Things
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: seemed really messy and disorganized. The first thing that the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: guy said was asking me if I wanted to come inside.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I said no, thanks and told him how much the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: pizza was. He got his wallet out of his back
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: pocket and then started going through his cash. He was
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: flipping through his dollar bills. He told me again to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: come inside the house. I really didn't want to, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I said that I was good. The guy was taking
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: his time paying and it was getting really uncomfortable by
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the second. Finally, the man handed me the money for
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the pizza, no tip, but I didn't even care any more.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I took it and handed in the pizza box. Then
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I immediately started heading back for my car parked out front.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I walked down the steps and back into the driveway.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It was really dark and there were no street lights nearby.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: There were also no lights on the guy's property either.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: About halfway back to my car, I heard footsteps behind me.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I looked over my shoulder and saw the guy. He
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: was walking behind me, about thirty feet back. I walked
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: faster and reached the end of the driveway. Then I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: got to my car and got inside as quickly as possible.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: When I closed my door, I looked and saw the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: man arriving at the other side. I quickly hit the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: lock button before the man attempted to open the passenger's
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: side door. He then went back and tried opening the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: rear passenger side door, which was also now locked. I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: put the car to drive and left. I don't know
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: what that guy wanted, but it was really suspicious. He
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: didn't say anything at all. When I've told this story
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to friends a couple of times, they've said, maybe he
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: just wanted to give you a tip that he forgot,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: But he could have spoken up at any time and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: told me he didn't say anything, and why would he
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: just try to open my door? And something about the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: guy was off for sure.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: The way he.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Invited me in his house a couple of times was
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: really creepy. I'm just happy that I left when I did.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: This is the bizarre story of one of the pizza
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: deliveries that I made. I worked for Dominoes as a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: delivery driver for one summer when I was in college.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I was working one night when I had a routine
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: delivery to make. It was a little bit later, but
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: not that late, maybe like ten PM. I drove out
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to an area where I will just say is not
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the nicest of neighborhoods. The house I was making a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: delivery to I remember it was on a sort of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: busier street, but there was a sidewalk out front and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: then a hill going up to the houses. After arriving,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I parked on the side of the road, got the pizza,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and left my vehicle. Immediately after I got out, I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: saw a man walking down the sidewalk about twenty feet away.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: He was passing by, and I started to head up
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the sidewalk and go up to the house. The man
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: got much closer to me, and he then stopped me
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and said that he needed to ask me a quick question.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I stopped and asked him what his question was. He
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: asked me if I was a pizza delivery driver, and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I said yes.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Then the man asked me for a pizza of pizza.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I laughed and said, no, I have to deliver this
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: pizza right now. That response was not so funny to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the man, though. His body language changed in anger in
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: an instant. He then walked right up to me and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I tried to begin walking up to the house. The
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: man grabbed my arm, though, and then reached for the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: pizza and tried grabbing that. I did my best to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: stop him, but the pizza ended up falling to the ground.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: In the struggle, the pizza inside the box fell out
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: of the insulated pizza delivery bag. The man raced over
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to it, and to my surprise, he stomped on it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: He looked at me and cursed at me as he
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: stood on the pizza. Now I stood there in disbelief,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: amazed and also terrified of this man. I was thinking
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that he just had to be crazy. Then I figured
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that I needed to get out of there. One pizza
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: was not worth it. But in that moment my conscience
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: got the better of me. I decided to walk up
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to the house and tell whoever had ordered the pizza
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: what had happened. We could deliver another pizza to them,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: but obviously it would take a while longer. I felt
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that I owed them the explanation. Though meanwhile, the man
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was still standing there with the pizza. He did not
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: follow me when I went up to the house, which
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I was glad to see. I knocked on the door,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and when the owner answered, I told him what had happened.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You couldn't really see down to the sidewalk from where
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: we were. The man who ent the door seemed really confused,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and I can't blame him, but he wasn't too mad.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: He said he would like us to bring him another pizza.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I started to walk back to my car. When I
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: got down to the sidewalk again, though I didn't see
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the guy where he had been before. The pizza was
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: still on the ground, though, but as I approached my vehicle,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I just barely saw him. He was crouched down hiding
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: behind the driver's side of my car. I quickly turned
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: around and started walking back up to the guy's house.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to go close to that weird guy again.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: When I got about halfway, I stopped and I looked
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: back down to my car. I saw the guy punch
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: at my driver's window. This was really bad. I ran
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: back up to the guy's house and told him what
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: was happening. Then I called the police. I waited on
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the guy's front porch until the police got there, only
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: about five minutes later. When they did, the man was
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: still there trying to get into my car. Somehow he didn't,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and I heard a bunch of yelling, and the guy
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: tried fighting one of the cops, which did not go
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: well for him. In the end, I was finally able
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to get back to my car and leave. The man
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: had not caused any major damage, which was good, but
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: he did cause a few minor dans to my vehicle.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if the customer got another pizza at
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: all after that, because my boss let me go home.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Working on and off part time in the pizza delivery
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: industry for the last twenty years, I can tell you
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: a crazy story or two. Not all were experiences of
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: my own, but they have all given me more than
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: my share of bad dreams. One particular episode, I went
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: through about seven years ago. Has stuck with me all
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: these years, and I'm fairly certain I'll never be able
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: to fully shake free from it. About a year before
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: what I'm talking about went down, I had befriended a
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: guy at work everyone called D. I wasn't sure at
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the time what his god given name was, but that's
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: the name everybody referred to him by, so that's what
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I used. D was about the same ages me and
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: like the same music as myself. He even managed to
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: introduce me to a few bands I didn't know of,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: and I did the same for him. On occasional days off,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: we'd hit the clubs in search of the next great band,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: but more often than not, we just got blotto and
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: head on chicks. Something odd that I did notice was
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: that he would occasionally get really aggressive towards girls that
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: shot him down. I'd often find myself stuck in the
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: middle of trying to de escalate the situation calm him down.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Once he finally realized what he was doing, he'd laugh
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: off his behavior. My initial opinion was that the aggression
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: came along with alcohol consumption, but when he did the
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: same thing before he'd even had a drink, it became
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: clear that he had serious anger problems towards women, boiling
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: just below the surface. Soon this reoccurring behavior became too
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: much for me, and I found myself inventing excuses not
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: to go out with him, and I saw less and
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: less of him outside of work. Despite this, we got
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: along well when we were there, so I had no
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: reason to see him as anything other than a great
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: guy I had always known. As time rolled on, Dee's
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: performance at work started to suffer and are out of
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: work interactions all but ceased. Strangest of all, his attitude
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: toward other people at work became cold, myself included. My
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: attempts to make small talk about music and such were
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: often met with disinterest or downright silence. I figured he
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: was but heard about me, not wanting to chase tail
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: with him anymore, so I left him to himself to
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: deal with his issues with me, rather than push him
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: on the subject. He was no big deal anyway. I
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: was working less of the restaurant and was becoming more
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: focused on my business. D obviously was having some problems
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I wasn't aware of, and they were affecting his work.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: He would spend longer and longer on his deliveries until
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: one day he never returned. It wasn't until my next
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: shift a few nights later that I I found out
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: that he'd been arrested. The cops picked him up on
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: his last delivery, and you'll never guess why from rumors
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: in the little information I got from the media, the
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: cops grabbed him while he was attempting to break into
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: an apartment. As the facts slowly seeped out, it appeared
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: that d had been doing this a lot, usually while working.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Not only was he breaking and entering places, he turned
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: out to be a serial sexual offender that we'd had
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: around the area for years. Apparently, the individual in question
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: was allegedly supposed to have assaulted and killed at least
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: five women or possibly more since he started. I had
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: had a hard time believing this all at first, but
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: as I began analyzing his behavior towards females when we
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: went out, it started to make sense. From the testimony
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: of others, I was apparently one of the few who
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: actually got a peek behind his mask, at least at first,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: but as the months went on, the mask became and
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: a slip and he was unable to hide his true
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: self from those around him. This is probably the reason
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: why he became cold and distant to other people. He
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: couldn't hide his real face any longer. I had moved
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: on from that particular restaurant. By the time the trial
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: was about to start, he was only being charged for
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: the attempted break in and one assault and murder. The
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: trial only lasted a few weeks before he pounced on
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: the deal that he was offered. He managed to dodge
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: the death penalty, but still got nailed with a light sentence.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: He's currently rumored to be a model prisoner and lead
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: guitar in the prison band. The authorities have made it
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: clear that he isn't going to get away with any
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: other crimes. In the future. When they have accumulated more evidence,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: they will go for the death penalty. Considering there's no
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: statute of limitations on murder, I'm pretty sure they'll get it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Life as a father has kept me too busy to
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: share this story until now, but better late than never.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I guess this didn't actually happen to me or anyone
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: I know. It was told to me by a friend
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: of mine who used to carpool with myself and a
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: few others back when I was a garbage man. Yes,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I was indeed a garbage man. But that's another story
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: for another time. If you all are nice to me,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I may share it in the future. But that's not
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: why we're here. I'm back to the point. I'll do
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: my best to be as accurate as possible in relaying
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: this story. Although I'm nowhere near the storyteller my pal is,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I'm more confident that it can stand on its own
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: in the drama department. Now, hopefully that will be enough
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: details and we can get to the story. The guy
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: who told me this is Billy. At the time the
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: story took place, he was working as a small independent
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: pizzas delivery place. Another driver working there was some dude
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: every one called Mac. One night, not long before Bill quit,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: he took a phone order from a customer that made
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: him uncomfortable. He couldn't really specify anything that he had
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: said that set off his alarm, but he still got
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: a bad vibe from the guide. He refused to deliver
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: the order. This caused a bit of an uproar with
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: management at first, but soon Mac stepped up and volunteered
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: to take the pizza he claimed he had delivered to
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: that address before, and although he was a little odd,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: the dude was no threat to any one. Be more
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: than happy to get the boss off his back. Bill
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: let Mac take the order in whatever tips that may
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: come with it. Once the pizza came out of the oven,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Mac quickly boxed up and took off to deliver. Here
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: is where we'll have to rely on a lot of
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: conjecture and clues accumulated at the scene, but from what
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: they could piece together, this is what happened next. Mac
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: made it to the address and delivered it like normal,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: despite the light being out on the street. He went
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: about his work per usual. After dropping off the pizza
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: and getting paid for it, Mack returned to his car
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: and was about to leave the scene when he was
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: held up by one or more people. Even though all
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: the cars had bold signs reading the drivers carried no
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: more than twenty dollars, robberies were not out of the norm.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: It appears that he thought he could get away from
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: the thief by driving away. However, the assailant managed to
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: get one round off and struck Mac in the neck.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: The car only made it about thirty yards before it
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: crashed into a light post. The Medical Examiner is fairly
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: positive Mac was dead by the time the car crashed.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: To make things even worse, the thief must not have
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: been deterred by the noise of a gunshot and the
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: mere fact that he killed a man for about twenty
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: one dollars and fifty eight cents, because he ransacked the
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: wreck car and Mack's dead body for the money until
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: he found it, and only then did he flee the scene.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: That's one cold hearted man. Eventually, somebody must have called
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: the cops, and they were the ones that contacted the restaurant.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Bill did admit to me that, even after these years later,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: he felt bad for not being the one to take
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: the delivery, even though he's glad he wasn't the one
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: to be killed. He feels as if he sent Mac
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: off to die that night, but he acknowledges that Mac
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: volunteered to take it. That fact still does little to
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: allay the guilt. He still feels. Max's death was the
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: final straw for him, and he quit a few days later.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: To his knowledge, He's almost positive that the killer was
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: never caught, not even after a week after Max's death.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: His boss told him to take a delivery just three
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: houses away from the one Mac had been killed in
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: front of This was it for him.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: The company had just.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Lost one driver in that area, and now they were
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: trying to send him back into that nightmare. At that moment,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: he realized that his boss was no different from the
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: scumbag that had shot Mac. Their only care was for money,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: and he didn't want to be another sacrifice on the
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: altar of greed.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: This happened just a few months ago. I was at
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: home one night by myself and I ordered a pizza.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: For a little more details, I'm a twenty six year
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: old female and live in a two bedroom house by myself.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: This was at about seven pm when I ordered. It
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: was a local pizza place that I got Sometimes About
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes later, there was a knock in my front door.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I answered it and there was a man standing at
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: my front step with a pizza box. The guy delivering
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: it was sort of short and had long, dark, stringy hair.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I opened the door to him, paid, accepted the pizza,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: and then the guy left. Then I went inside. It
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: was a very normal and average interaction. The next couple
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: of hours, I hung out at home, having the pizza,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: watching TV, and going on my phone.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: At about eleven PM.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I started to get ready for bed, but it was
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: around that same time when there was a knock on
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: my front door. Now this was really strange because of
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the fact that it was so late at night. I
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: don't think anybody had ever knocked on my door so late.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Before answering it, I decided to look through the living
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: room window. When I did, I saw a man and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I quickly recognized him. It was the pizza delivery guy
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: from earlier, but he wasn't wearing his pizza clothes anymore.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: He was wearing a black jacket and jeans. I wondered
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: what he was doing here. But as I was looking
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: at him through the window, he looked over and saw me.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I jumped back out of instincts. I really didn't want
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: to answer the door. After he saw me, he knocked again.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I had a bad feeling about it. This was just
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: too sketchy. I really didn't want to answer the door,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: so I went back over to the window. I unlocked
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and slid up one of the living room windows. The
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: man looked over again. Now it was just a window screen,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: so I could talk to the guy and he would
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: hear me.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I asked what.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: He wanted He didn't answer me, but instead started walking
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: over to the window. When he got within five feet,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I backed up and shut the window. I saw the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: guy motioning for me to lift it up again, but
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't. He was being way too weird. After standing
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: at my window for a while, he finally turned back
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: around and walked away. I watched him go back into
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the street, and I was glad to see him gone.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I went back to getting ready for bed after that,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: but when I got into my bedroom, my cell phone rang.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I did not recognize the number, so I didn't answer it,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: but whoever had called left me a voicemail.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I decided to listen to it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: When I did, I heard a man say that he
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: was outside and if I didn't let him in, he
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: was going to break in. Obviously this had to be
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the same guy. I decided to call him back. When
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I called, he answered instantly. I asked him what he
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: want on it. He told me to let him in
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the house, and I asked him why. He told me
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: to just do it. Then he hung up on me.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Of course, I wasn't going to Instead, I called the police.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I told them what was going on, and then went
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: into my bathroom and locked the door. I didn't know
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: if the man was going to actually try to break
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: in or not. I did my best to distract myself
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: from the situation as I waited for the police to
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: get there. When they did arrive, the man was gone.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I told the police everything that I knew. The good
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: thing is that it was easy for them to locate
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the man because I knew his job. I could also
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: describe him, and I had his phone number. After that,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I haven't been bothered by him.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Since it was a pizza place that I was familiar with,
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: so finding parking to pick up the food wasn't an
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: issue at all, and by the time it was ready
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: to be picked up, I was there grabbing it. I
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: made my way back to my car as fast as
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: I could, letting the person who ordered the pizza note
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: that their food was picked up, and on the way,
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: I looked at my phone and saw that the delivery
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: was to an apartment building a couple blocks over, and
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: in no time I was en root with the food.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: It took me about six minutes to get to the
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: block that the apartment building was located on, and luckily
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: for me, street parking wasn't too bad at that time.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Of day and I managed to find a spot that
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: was right next to the building. Now this was a
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: no contact delivery, which meant that I was to leave
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: the food at the door, take a picture of it,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: notify the person who ordered the food that their pizza
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: was downstairs, and then they were responsible for coming to
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: get it. So I walked up to the door and
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: placed the food in a safe spot, and as I
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: was taking my phone out of my pocket, I noticed
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: a group of young men who looked to be no
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: older than sixteen down on the corner. I couldn't help
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: but notice they all kept looking over at me. Now,
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: in my mind, I figured that they were just thinking
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: about trying to take the food. So I wasn't concerned
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: for my safety at all, and I continued about my business.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: I took my phone out and began taking a picture
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: of the food, and then I even called the number
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: that I was given for the person who ordered the
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: food to let them know that their food was downstairs.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: I didn't want them to miss out on any of
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: the delicious pizza. As I hung up the phone, I
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: took another look down in the corner of the block,
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: and this time I saw the entire group had been
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: staring my way. I'm not sure why, but this made
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: me feel really uneasy, and I figured that it was
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: time for me to go. As I went to turn
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: toward my car, out of my peripheral vision, I could
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: see the group had started moving. They were heading toward
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: me again, though in my head, these kids just wanted
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: the food, so I tried not to freak out and
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: continued heading to my car. That was when I heard it.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: One of the young men yelled out to me, Hey, mister.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: I tried to ignore it, but then I heard it again,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Hey mister, hang on a minute. To this day, I'm
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: not sure why, but I stopped in my tracks and
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: turned to face the group that was trying to get
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: my attention. As I turned, though, I quickly learned what
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: their intentions were. As soon as I was facing them,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: I heard three sounds that almost sounded like small fireworks
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: popping off, and at the same time, I saw three
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: measle flashes from a small handgun that one of the
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: teenagers was carrying. I didn't feel anything at first, but
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: when my leg buckled underneath me, I looked down and
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: knew right away that I had been hit. I fell
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: to the floor, and the pain began to kick in.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: I screamed out for help, thinking that surely I was
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: about to be killed for some unknown reason. I was
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: somewhat thankful, however, when the group ram past me and
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: straight to my car, which still had the keys inside.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: I heard the sound of people around me screaming as
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: the car pulled off. The person who the food had
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: come outside by that point, and they were the ones
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: who called the ambulance for me. I never got that
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: car back, but thankfully I was still able to walk
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: after all was said and done, and I definitely learned
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: a lesson about being aware of my surroundings.
