- 1:43Speaker 2: part two.
- 1:43Speaker 1: So we'll do it so they're fresh at least.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Little middle recap.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Okay, so little recap on this, We're gonna jump right
- 1:49Speaker 1: into a recap here. Catherine Knight was brought up in
- 1:52Speaker 1: kind of like a not a very good kind of atmosphere. Okay,
- 1:56Speaker 1: quite a violent household and yeah, not so good. Eventually
- 2:01Speaker 1: she would get married to an individual whose name is
- 2:04Speaker 1: David Stanford Kellen, and their relationship is quite rocky, rather aggressive.
- 2:13Speaker 1: For example, there was one incident on their honeymoon where
- 2:18Speaker 1: David's life was in danger because he woke up to
- 2:20Speaker 1: his now bride right strangling him because they did not
- 2:26Speaker 1: have sex five times.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Right, it was only three. Shit, this is ringing a bell. Yeah,
- 2:32Speaker 2: it's gonna all just come back to me.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Yeah. So now the most recent incident is that David
- 2:37Speaker 1: had actually left her, right, had gone away with another woman.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Right, I was going to say another woman.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Yeah, yep. And now Catherine has kind of lost her shit,
- 2:47Speaker 1: dropped her kid off in a railway track, was swinging
- 2:49Speaker 1: an axe downtown. Thankfully, the kid was saved and she
- 2:53Speaker 1: was put into an institution, but then subsequently released very
- 2:58Speaker 1: soon after, got her kid back, and is now holding
- 3:02Speaker 1: her neighbors at knife point to go track down David's mother.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Right, yeah, and has said kid though right are we
- 3:12Speaker 2: weren't or we left as we weren't sure or something.
- 3:14Speaker 1: I couldn't Actually I did a little bit of searching
- 3:16Speaker 1: on that I couldn't find if she got the kid
- 3:18Speaker 1: back here, I don't. I don't know just yet, Okay,
- 3:24Speaker 1: because yeah, some more stuff happens, and she'll end up
- 3:27Speaker 1: in an institution again, and then okay.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Well we'll just let Yeah, we'll just let you. We'll
- 3:32Speaker 2: get there.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Yeah. But that is the quick elevator pitch of episode one.
- 3:38Speaker 1: If you haven't listened to, it makes she go do
- 3:40Speaker 1: a lot of her upbringing and a lot of her
- 3:44Speaker 1: I don't know her atmosphere, that sort of stuff her
- 3:47Speaker 1: what's the word I'm looking for.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Vibe?
- 3:50Speaker 1: It's definitely not vibe. That's not what I'm thinking. Okay,
- 3:54Speaker 1: like our surroundings, her surroundings, I think definitely planned to
- 3:59Speaker 1: who she is today and is going to be an
- 4:02Speaker 1: important integral piece for part two. When we actually listened
- 4:05Speaker 1: to her later.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Actions, Okay, how exciting. Yeah, shoot, what was I gonna say?
- 4:17Speaker 2: It was there and then it just wasn't. Holy heck,
- 4:20Speaker 2: I don't know. But anyway, one thing I was going
- 4:22Speaker 2: to talk about. I had something else to talk about,
- 4:24Speaker 2: but that's long gone. We had our true crime trivia night,
- 4:28Speaker 2: which was a hit and a half.
- 4:31Speaker 1: It was it was fantastic, so although rather quickly people
- 4:36Speaker 1: loved it. Although holy shit, people know their true crime.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Yeah, we thought that the questions were like fairly difficult.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I even at one point was like, oh, I think
- 4:49Speaker 2: we should throw in some easier ones. But they were
- 4:52Speaker 2: easy apparently, like there wasn't any that any that everyone
- 4:56Speaker 2: was stumped on.
- 4:57Speaker 1: No, most I think I think most people got like
- 5:00Speaker 1: at least like eighty percent of the questions. Yeah, it
- 5:03Speaker 1: was absurd. I was kind of going for like intermediate
- 5:05Speaker 1: questions where I'm like, okay, some I'll stump people. And
- 5:08Speaker 1: it's like I think there was people who knew every
- 5:10Speaker 1: single freaking question. It was just like ridiculous. Yeah, so
- 5:14Speaker 1: hats off to everyone who was there. That was an
- 5:16Speaker 1: incredible time. We're gonna be doing it again.
- 5:18Speaker 2: They blew us away.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Yeah, and I actually I thought of a fantastic question
- 5:22Speaker 1: this morning when I, uh, like first thing when I
- 5:25Speaker 1: woke up too, I was like, holy shit, I don't
- 5:27Speaker 1: know why this popped into my head, but it was
- 5:29Speaker 1: a really good one.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Oh well, you're gonna have to share because yeah, after
- 5:32Speaker 2: that night, Ben, Like, my goal is next trivia night. O.
- 5:37Speaker 2: There's gonna be one question that no one is going
- 5:40Speaker 2: to get.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Yes, but I don't want it to just be like
- 5:42Speaker 1: so obscure that no one gets.
- 5:44Speaker 2: I want it to be like so hard, like you
- 5:46Speaker 2: really have to all your shit.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Well yes and no. I want it to be like
- 5:49Speaker 1: hard that people aren't going to get it, but not
- 5:53Speaker 1: so hard that it's like, oh, come on, no one's
- 5:55Speaker 1: gonna know that. I want it to be a reasonable
- 5:57Speaker 1: question that stumps everyone. That's what I want.
- 6:01Speaker 2: That it's a question that they know the answer but
- 6:04Speaker 2: they can't. They can't. They they're just there, but they
- 6:06Speaker 2: can't grab it something they should know. Yeah, yeah, oh,
- 6:10Speaker 2: I remember what I was going to say.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Holy oh, what was it?
- 6:13Speaker 2: Gosh. I actually find it fascinating that men are more
- 6:18Speaker 2: likely to be a psychopath and I kind of want
- 6:21Speaker 2: to know why, Like that's something I almost want to
- 6:24Speaker 2: dig in a little bit because that's intriguing.
- 6:26Speaker 1: So I do have a theory on this, and it's
- 6:30Speaker 1: a theory kind of because men generally are more aggressive
- 6:34Speaker 1: in nature. Yeah, right, Yeah, more rapists, killer, psychopaths. It's
- 6:40Speaker 1: just higher up all around. I think our dogs are
- 6:42Speaker 1: howking hor there?
- 6:43Speaker 2: Well, no, they're playing. They have constantly been playing all
- 6:47Speaker 2: day today on their beds. It's quite interesting to watch this.
- 6:50Speaker 1: They just have a grand old time over there. My
- 6:53Speaker 1: theory is I think it boils down to testosterone. And
- 6:58Speaker 1: I'm I'm not a biologist or anything. I don't know
- 7:04Speaker 1: my shit. I just did a quick Google search one
- 7:06Speaker 1: day and was like, huh, I found this interesting. So,
- 7:09Speaker 1: as far as I'm aware, testosterone levels increase during menstruation
- 7:15Speaker 1: aka PMS pre menstrual syndrome. That's when the female natural
- 7:21Speaker 1: body testosterone is at its highest, which makes you guys
- 7:25Speaker 1: kind of act a little bit, you know, orinery cranky
- 7:28Speaker 1: sometimes whatever. There's many different symptoms. Yeah, yeah, And I
- 7:31Speaker 1: think it's testosterone that's naturally in men's system.
- 7:35Speaker 2: That just push more of it.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Yeah. So I think it's that chemical in the male
- 7:40Speaker 1: genome that pushes them to be more like psychopaths, killers, whatever,
- 7:46Speaker 1: because if you put that same chemical in females, you
- 7:50Speaker 1: sort of see the same kind of spike in Yeah.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Yeah, well it is interesting. I'll just say this really quickly.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Is that lots of times I feel like men think
- 8:01Speaker 2: women are the ones that don't have their shit together
- 8:05Speaker 2: or a little nutt o a little nut. Oh, I'm
- 8:08Speaker 2: just trying to word this nicely.
- 8:09Speaker 1: But I was trying to do the same. Don't worry.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Hey, there's there's the stats there.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Women, women just you know, we have our shit together.
- 8:18Speaker 2: It's right there.
- 8:18Speaker 1: And like I say, I just think it comes down
- 8:20Speaker 1: to testosterone affecting the brain. That's what I think.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be it would be interesting to talk
- 8:27Speaker 2: to like a psychologist or something about this. But anyway,
- 8:30Speaker 2: we have some lovely patrons to thing, do we not?
- 8:34Speaker 1: We do. We have Haley Davis and Demig who both
- 8:37Speaker 1: signed up this previous week, and they if they didn't,
- 8:41Speaker 1: if they're not local, they didn't get to see the
- 8:45Speaker 1: Trivia night live. The whole live stream is up on
- 8:48Speaker 1: our patreons, so they can go check it out in
- 8:51Speaker 1: whenever they want.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Yeah, we did our best with that. It was a
- 8:54Speaker 2: bit hard because like we had audience kind of there
- 8:56Speaker 2: right and then also this camera. But I have I
- 8:59Speaker 2: have more ideas to make it more a little bit
- 9:01Speaker 2: more interactive next time, King, But it was still really cool.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Like I hopefully they still felt like they were kind
- 9:06Speaker 2: of a part of the event.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too, but like it's just kind of
- 9:10Speaker 1: like unfortunately for the trivia thing, it's like that's the primary.
- 9:14Speaker 1: So like going live stream, that's going to be a secondary.
- 9:17Speaker 1: So we have to make sure we actually host the
- 9:20Speaker 1: trivia first and foremost.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was our first one, so it was
- 9:24Speaker 2: it was a learning thing. It was really cool though,
- 9:26Speaker 2: and we're excited to do more.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Yeah, anyways, should we get onto this because I think
- 9:30Speaker 1: we've kind of yabbered a little bit.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Okay. So when we left off, like I said, Catherine
- 9:35Speaker 1: had her previous life, her marriage thing, and she currently
- 9:40Speaker 1: is holding her neighbor's hostage by knife point and demanding
- 9:44Speaker 1: that they drive her to David, her husband's mom's house,
- 9:48Speaker 1: because she knows if she's going to get back at
- 9:51Speaker 1: him for leaving her, the best way to do that
- 9:54Speaker 1: is go after his mother.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Oh that's next level, Hey.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Next level? What'd you say, nuto Ndle?
- 10:01Speaker 2: Is that his hand?
- 10:02Speaker 1: Is that how you said it? So? Yeah, that's that's
- 10:06Speaker 1: what she was doing. She was she was pulling the
- 10:08Speaker 1: next level nutt and going after David's mom. Wow yea.
- 10:14Speaker 1: So she managed to actually trick them by telling them
- 10:17Speaker 1: that her daughter was sick and needed a ride to
- 10:20Speaker 1: the hospital. So they came over to pick them up,
- 10:22Speaker 1: and then that's when the Knight Point thing happened, right,
- 10:25Speaker 1: So the family was forced to take her to the
- 10:28Speaker 1: hospital or sorry, I mean David's mom in order to
- 10:31Speaker 1: save themselves. So Catherine entered their vehicle and they ended
- 10:35Speaker 1: up pulling out of the driveway with her brandishing a knife. Now,
- 10:40Speaker 1: the family somehow miraculously managed to convince Catherine to let
- 10:45Speaker 1: them stop at a service station, where a woman from
- 10:49Speaker 1: the family managed to escape and called for help. Quickly
- 10:53Speaker 1: the police arrived and they were able to apprehend and
- 10:56Speaker 1: disarm Catherine to police with the help the service station manager,
- 11:04Speaker 1: and just like before, she was admitted into psychiatric care.
- 11:09Speaker 2: That's actually pretty impressive that they were able to get
- 11:11Speaker 2: themselves out of that situation.
- 11:13Speaker 1: It really is.
- 11:14Speaker 2: That's really good.
- 11:15Speaker 1: And this is kind of where I couldn't find if
- 11:17Speaker 1: she did still have her child at this point, because
- 11:20Speaker 1: it was only like a day or two prior that
- 11:22Speaker 1: she was taken into care, and now it's taken into
- 11:25Speaker 1: care again. So there's this like little window I am
- 11:28Speaker 1: unsure of.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because I imagine there's well, I don't know,
- 11:31Speaker 2: this is older and stuff, right, this is a little
- 11:34Speaker 2: bit older of a case.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Uh yeah, kind of.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Yeah, so I imagine there even then, I'm sure there's
- 11:40Speaker 2: like protocols and stuff and it's not like, oh, you
- 11:42Speaker 2: come out of care and here's your kid, like it
- 11:45Speaker 2: might take it a little bit.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Yeah, Like this case I think is like right now,
- 11:49Speaker 1: I think we're sitting in the eighties. Okay, so yeah, yeah.
- 11:54Speaker 1: So Catherine, though like reported reportedly confessed to the nurse
- 11:59Speaker 1: that her intents were also to kill the mechanic who
- 12:03Speaker 1: worked at the service station. Why well, that's well why because,
- 12:09Speaker 1: according to her, he had recently done repairs on David's car,
- 12:14Speaker 1: so she believed that in doing so, the mechanic helped
- 12:18Speaker 1: enable her husband to leave and run off with another woman.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Oh that's why. So she claims she let the family
- 12:25Speaker 1: stop at the service station.
- 12:26Speaker 2: That's that's getting a little bit unreasonable there, Ye, do
- 12:30Speaker 2: you think that her mind's really going a mile a minute?
- 12:33Speaker 1: Last episode, she left her infant on railway tracks, and
- 12:38Speaker 1: this you think she's getting unreasonable?
- 12:40Speaker 2: A little bit, just a little I mean to have
- 12:43Speaker 2: your brain wander to the fact that that mechanic helped
- 12:48Speaker 2: your husband or whatever escape. That's wow.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Yeah. So additionally, she did also plan to murder both
- 12:58Speaker 1: her husband and his mother upon arrival in Queensland when
- 13:03Speaker 1: she got there with this family. So when David eventually
- 13:07Speaker 1: caught winto this incident, what do you think he decided
- 13:10Speaker 1: to do?
- 13:11Speaker 2: Run for the fucking hills?
- 13:13Speaker 1: He ran back to her?
- 13:14Speaker 2: What?
- 13:15Speaker 1: Yeah, he decided he would go back to his wife.
- 13:18Speaker 2: And I to protect his mom. Maybe no, because I.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Don't think he had any idea that she was after
- 13:26Speaker 1: him or her mother, because I think the idea of
- 13:29Speaker 1: her confessing that she was going to murder them came
- 13:32Speaker 1: out many years later. So what he did, and mad
- 13:36Speaker 1: respect to him for this in all honesty, he went
- 13:41Speaker 1: back to go take care of his wife.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Oh, like he realized that she needed help.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Basically really yeah, so he left his new girlfriend and
- 13:51Speaker 1: relocated back to Aberdeen with his mother as well to
- 13:54Speaker 1: help support and care for her.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Well. I also imagine he was thinking about his child too, Yeah.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Most likely, But yeah, he's like, I gotta go back,
- 14:04Speaker 1: she needs help.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Wow.
- 14:06Speaker 1: So whether that's the right call or not. I'm not
- 14:10Speaker 1: gonna argue on but holy shit, mad respect for someone
- 14:14Speaker 1: to pick up the boots and take on that burden.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Well, I mean he was very much so right. She
- 14:19Speaker 2: does need some help, yeah.
- 14:21Speaker 1: For sure. So it was on August ninth, nineteen seventy six,
- 14:25Speaker 1: that's our current date, when David made his way to
- 14:29Speaker 1: the institution that was caring for Catherine and she was
- 14:32Speaker 1: released into his care along with his mother, and they
- 14:35Speaker 1: also picked up their daughter.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, so the daughter's back now.
- 14:40Speaker 1: The daughter is back in their care for sure. So
- 14:43Speaker 1: the two were making another attempt at the relationship. They
- 14:46Speaker 1: wanted a fresh start, and at first that's exactly what
- 14:49Speaker 1: it was. But as time went on, the same problems
- 14:53Speaker 1: began to arise. David was always walking on eggshells, truly
- 14:57Speaker 1: convinced that if he said the wrong thing at the
- 15:00Speaker 1: wrong time, he or someone else around would be killed.
- 15:05Speaker 1: I can't imagine living that way.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it's one thing, kind of like walking
- 15:09Speaker 2: on eggshells if like you're spouse is having a bad
- 15:11Speaker 2: day or cranky or whatever, but like to be walking
- 15:14Speaker 2: on eggshells because you're worried someone's gonna die, or that
- 15:18Speaker 2: they're gonna you're gonna kill somebody. Oh yeah, that's that's
- 15:24Speaker 2: almost hard to even like put yourself in those shoes.
- 15:27Speaker 1: It was, And I got a little example here of
- 15:30Speaker 1: how that played out. Just one second out. One more
- 15:32Speaker 1: little point I want to make first. So one point
- 15:34Speaker 1: first was Catherine was actually caught having an affair. At
- 15:36Speaker 1: one point, she successfully begged David for another chance, even
- 15:40Speaker 1: though a lot of her like shit in her own
- 15:43Speaker 1: head was she was fearful of him cheating on her. Hmmm, yeah,
- 15:47Speaker 1: so that's odd. But this one that's not unclear exactly
- 15:52Speaker 1: where this falls in the timeline, but a friend of
- 15:55Speaker 1: David and Catherine recalls a night where she witnessed Catherine
- 15:59Speaker 1: holding their child under a tap of running hot water
- 16:03Speaker 1: as the child was screaming and crying. So this is
- 16:08Speaker 1: where David specifically shows that he's walking on eggshells because
- 16:12Speaker 1: the friend reportedly told David about this, and he said,
- 16:17Speaker 1: don't say anything to her. Do not say a word
- 16:20Speaker 1: to her, otherwise you will die and she might kill
- 16:25Speaker 1: me too.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
- 16:29Speaker 1: He's like, let me deal with this.
- 16:31Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but like your kid is like in some
- 16:34Speaker 2: super danger here. Yeah, yikes. I mean, yeah, he's really
- 16:40Speaker 2: in a tough spot. But this is something has to
- 16:43Speaker 2: happen here.
- 16:45Speaker 1: So it would be in nineteen eighty when they would
- 16:50Speaker 1: welcome their second child. Oh the world.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Shit, that's not exactly where I was going with that. Yeah,
- 16:55Speaker 2: something needs to happen.
- 16:56Speaker 1: I agree. I don't think I would be vouching for
- 16:59Speaker 1: them to have another child exactly.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Wow.
- 17:03Speaker 1: So the baby was little Natasha Marie Kellett, and it
- 17:06Speaker 1: would be only four years later that Catherine would end
- 17:10Speaker 1: up leaving David.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Oh, okay, four years later that she left David.
- 17:15Speaker 1: She left David.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Okay, well, hopefully the kids remained with David.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Well, not necessarily, but David was working as a truck
- 17:26Speaker 1: driver and Catherine suspected him of sleeping with other women
- 17:30Speaker 1: while he was on the road. So one night, when
- 17:33Speaker 1: David came home, he found the house empty. She took
- 17:37Speaker 1: everything and moved back to Aberdeen.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, everything, including the kiddos.
- 17:44Speaker 1: You bet you Now. In nineteen eighty six, Catherine would
- 17:48Speaker 1: find herself entering another relationship. She met a man by
- 17:52Speaker 1: the name of David Saunders, who was a thirty eight
- 17:55Speaker 1: year old minder. So because David and David, I'm going
- 17:58Speaker 1: to refer to this guy as Saunders by his.
- 18:01Speaker 2: Last name, okay, yeah, because I was like, that's not
- 18:03Speaker 2: going to be confusing at.
- 18:04Speaker 1: All, Yeah, not at all. So soon they began living
- 18:08Speaker 1: their life together with her two daughters, and Saunders knew puppy.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Oh, a puppy.
- 18:15Speaker 1: A puppy, the.
- 18:17Speaker 2: First puppy's poor puppy.
- 18:19Speaker 1: Yeah, poor puppy for sure. The first couple months were great,
- 18:24Speaker 1: but just like Catherine's previous relationship, things would go downhill
- 18:28Speaker 1: rather quickly, especially when she had reason to suspect of cheating.
- 18:34Speaker 1: One occasion, when Sunders returned home late, Catherine was ironing
- 18:38Speaker 1: and attacked him by swinging the hot iron at him
- 18:41Speaker 1: and striking him across the face with Oh good god.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Apparently the burn marks and like the holes that are
- 18:48Speaker 1: in the iron from like little steam holes were visible
- 18:50Speaker 1: on his visible on his face for like many weeks after.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Well yeah, and I would imagine that would leave some
- 18:55Speaker 2: sort of a scar.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Too, potentially because that would hurt. Yeah, So she's like
- 19:00Speaker 1: literally striking him with a scalding hot iron. Ouch.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I just oh, it's hard to put
- 19:08Speaker 2: yourself in that situation, because that's terrifying. I couldn't imagine
- 19:13Speaker 2: coming home and you doing something like that.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Yeah, well, what about this, because that was only the beginning.
- 19:20Speaker 1: In a very distressing incident in May of nineteen eighty seven,
- 19:24Speaker 1: she callously took a knife to his two month old
- 19:26Speaker 1: puppy and cut its throat as he helplessly watched.
- 19:32Speaker 2: No. Yes, wow, Oh my gosh, this frickin' lady, I
- 19:39Speaker 2: have some choice words that I'm just biting my tongue
- 19:42Speaker 2: right now.
- 19:43Speaker 1: A two month old puppy.
- 19:45Speaker 2: Wow, she is peer evil.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Another friend later on would talk about she would often
- 19:53Speaker 1: swerve to try and hit dogs that were running across
- 19:55Speaker 1: the road, and when questioned about it, she's like, I
- 19:57Speaker 1: just don't like dogs.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Who the fuck is like dogs?
- 20:00Speaker 1: Apparently this bitch? Wow, she just saying. Oh, And this
- 20:06Speaker 1: incident was merely a warning for the consequences if he
- 20:10Speaker 1: did ever cheat or leave her.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Yeah, And for one reason or another, Saunders actually did
- 20:17Speaker 1: stay with her after this event. He did attempt to
- 20:21Speaker 1: attempt to leave, but Catherine always managed to core her
- 20:24Speaker 1: some to stay, whether it was begging or threats. Huh,
- 20:28Speaker 1: So I can understand like there are toxic relationships and
- 20:32Speaker 1: people like can't leave for various reasons. Oh yeah, I
- 20:35Speaker 1: totally get that. Yeah, but yeah, the dog thing that
- 20:41Speaker 1: that got to me when I was researching, and I
- 20:44Speaker 1: knew it would probably get to you and many other
- 20:47Speaker 1: people who are listening to this right now, So I'm
- 20:48Speaker 1: sorry for that.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Well, if you didn't know, we're big dog fans around here.
- 20:52Speaker 1: We are. In June of nineteen eighty eight, two would
- 20:56Speaker 1: conceive and welcome a daughter into the world, Sarah Saunders.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Though they were far from a happy home. Eventually Saunders
- 21:04Speaker 1: managed to leave Catherine and he understandably went into hiding
- 21:10Speaker 1: in another town, so Catherine was unable to find him.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Yeah, he was terrified.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Yeah, and of course Catherine I can't talk today. Of
- 21:18Speaker 1: course Katherine there we go, was enraged, but there wasn't
- 21:23Speaker 1: much she could do about it because she had absolutely
- 21:26Speaker 1: no idea of his whereabouts. So that kind of sucked
- 21:29Speaker 1: on her end. But fantastic for Saunders getting out of
- 21:32Speaker 1: the relationship, Like, uh.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that didn't seem like it was the healthiest
- 21:36Speaker 2: of relationships.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one way to describe it.
- 21:39Speaker 2: That's a good that's a nice way to describe.
- 21:42Speaker 1: It very very nice way. I nineteen ninety one, Catherine
- 21:46Speaker 1: would become pregnant with her fourth child with a man
- 21:49Speaker 1: by the name of John Chillingworth, a former coworker from
- 21:53Speaker 1: the Slaughterhouse, and in nineteen ninety two she gave birth
- 21:56Speaker 1: to their son, Eric Chillingworth. Okay, now, despite their new son, though,
- 22:02Speaker 1: the relationship was like all others we mentioned so far,
- 22:06Speaker 1: violent and it wouldn't actually last too long. She would
- 22:10Speaker 1: leave John after after three years.
- 22:13Speaker 2: So at the beginning of her relationships, like she she must,
- 22:18Speaker 2: she hides how she really is. Then, eh, you're like
- 22:22Speaker 2: of time being. Well, I think it's the people.
- 22:24Speaker 1: I think it's kind of like a honeymoon period, right once,
- 22:27Speaker 1: like the hunt, like the oh my God, like lovey dovey,
- 22:29Speaker 1: lovey dove Once it's like, Okay, well, all of a sudden,
- 22:33Speaker 1: it's like he's coming home a little later from work
- 22:35Speaker 1: because instead of like rushing home to see me and
- 22:39Speaker 1: have dinner with me and romance me, he's like, oh,
- 22:42Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the guys tonight. Yeah, it's like,
- 22:44Speaker 1: oh what about me?
- 22:46Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense because yeah, maybe the first few months,
- 22:49Speaker 2: like you're almost like you're unseparable, right, yeah, inseparable.
- 22:56Speaker 1: I think both could actually apply technically.
- 22:59Speaker 2: And then yeah, I guess his life moves on like
- 23:01Speaker 2: you kind of. You go back to a little bit
- 23:03Speaker 2: of your day to day.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Ye. So okay, And there is some speculation out there,
- 23:09Speaker 1: and I don't want to say facts on it because
- 23:12Speaker 1: it's just people talking. But there are some articles I
- 23:17Speaker 1: read where she was apparently really good in bed, so
- 23:20Speaker 1: that was part of that.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Oh okay, that allure. That makes a lot of sense actually, yeah,
- 23:28Speaker 2: huh wow. Okay.
- 23:31Speaker 1: So anyways, she would leave John Chillington for John Price.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Geez, why the fuck do all these people have the
- 23:39Speaker 2: same name?
- 23:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, well John sorry, Chillingworth, not chilling ten.
- 23:45Speaker 1: John Chillingworth was a very minor blip in this story.
- 23:49Speaker 1: So the main John we are talking about here is
- 23:51Speaker 1: John Price.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Okay.
- 23:53Speaker 1: So John Price was born on the fourth of April
- 23:55Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty five and had three kids of his
- 23:58Speaker 1: own when he began seeing Though his two year old
- 24:01Speaker 1: daughter stayed with his former wife, he did have custody
- 24:04Speaker 1: of his two older children, so he was described as
- 24:07Speaker 1: a well liked individual, and in nineteen ninety five, Catherine
- 24:10Speaker 1: would move in with John into his home, though it
- 24:13Speaker 1: wasn't really a permanent situation. She still had kind of
- 24:16Speaker 1: her own place. She just kind of treated his place
- 24:18Speaker 1: like hers as well, So a lot of her stuff
- 24:21Speaker 1: was there and kind of thing, you know.
- 24:23Speaker 2: Like more than just the toothbrush.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. So unfortunately for John Price, all those years
- 24:31Speaker 1: of violent behaviors building up would come to a brutal
- 24:35Speaker 1: climactic moment, if you will, at his expense.
- 24:41Speaker 2: Oh okay, here, I was thinking that she might hurt
- 24:44Speaker 2: his kids or something because what she did to that
- 24:46Speaker 2: one guy's poppy gosh, or maybe she does. Okay, let's
- 24:50Speaker 2: hear well.
- 24:52Speaker 1: John was fully aware of Catherine's violent reputation. As I mentioned,
- 24:58Speaker 1: it potentially could have that he was still in the
- 25:01Speaker 1: relationship for sexual reasons. He actually does confirm that a
- 25:04Speaker 1: little bit later on here, but I'll get to that
- 25:07Speaker 1: at the beginning a part from the accasual violent argument.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Life seemed quite pleasant and his children took a liking
- 25:13Speaker 1: to her. Actually, so Price was earning good money working
- 25:17Speaker 1: at the local minds, and overall things seemed positive. However,
- 25:21Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight, Catherine and John began to clash
- 25:24Speaker 1: over his refusal to marry her. It was after eighteen
- 25:28Speaker 1: months that they began seeing each other that Catherine was
- 25:31Speaker 1: pushing for marriage.
- 25:32Speaker 2: Oh man, that's actually not very much time, really, it's not.
- 25:36Speaker 1: However, John made it clear that he was only in
- 25:40Speaker 1: it for the sex and the relationship and didn't want marriage.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Like, is that what he actually said to her?
- 25:46Speaker 1: I couldn't find an exact quote on what he said,
- 25:49Speaker 1: but I found articles talking about that.
- 25:51Speaker 2: That's probably something he kind of said hearsay, like after,
- 25:55Speaker 2: I'm assuming not to her face.
- 25:58Speaker 1: No, I think it was more so like yeah, no,
- 26:00Speaker 1: I'm just like it's just a relationship for me, like
- 26:02Speaker 1: the sex, the relationship, the fun. I think that's kind
- 26:05Speaker 1: of what he was was after.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Okay, well yeah, like he already had kids, been there,
- 26:10Speaker 2: done that. Maybe yeah, he has divorced, so yeah, yeah, okay.
- 26:15Speaker 1: And I mean to any regular person this sort of
- 26:17Speaker 1: like conversation, they may take that as a sign that's like,
- 26:19Speaker 1: you know what, Okay, we got to go different ways.
- 26:21Speaker 1: This relationship clearly isn't gonna work. We want different things.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Or maybe even it's a sign that okay, we got
- 26:27Speaker 1: to work on some things together to get on track together.
- 26:30Speaker 1: Maybe find a middle ground somehow or something, you know,
- 26:34Speaker 1: maybe like a forever engagement ring, no paper signed, no nothing,
- 26:37Speaker 1: but at least like give me some sort of commitment,
- 26:40Speaker 1: commitment physical, you know, sign of a commitment. Yeah, something
- 26:43Speaker 1: like some middle ground, let's talk about it, you know.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:46Speaker 1: But for Catherine, it was of course much more so
- 26:51Speaker 1: as Catherine had done in the past, you know, continuing
- 26:53Speaker 1: with her douche canoe ways. She wanted to get revenge
- 26:58Speaker 1: and turned to try and hurt some one close to John,
- 27:01Speaker 1: because that's just what she does, yep, you know, trying
- 27:05Speaker 1: to go after the mom, successfully going after the puppy.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Shit, I think one of the kids is in danger here.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't physical harm that she attempted, but it
- 27:19Speaker 1: was still traumatizing. So she would sit down with one
- 27:22Speaker 1: of John's fourteen year old daughters and she began to
- 27:24Speaker 1: tell her that John wasn't her real dad.
- 27:28Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, just making up some shit, yep.
- 27:30Speaker 1: She just like started fucking spewing lies, bullshit. She's like, oh, yeah,
- 27:34Speaker 1: he's not your dad. He's like, yeah, your mom was
- 27:36Speaker 1: sleeping around a bunch and some other dude out there's
- 27:38Speaker 1: your dad. John's just some guy she cheated on him.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Whoa could you imagine at fourteen? Yeah, you would just
- 27:46Speaker 2: be like hysterical. Yeah, okay, so.
- 27:50Speaker 1: She tried, she pulled that, which is not fucking cool.
- 27:53Speaker 2: No, but I did kind of expect that she was
- 27:56Speaker 2: going to like kill one of them, not gonna lie.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Luckily enough, she did no go after the kid in
- 28:02Speaker 1: this instance, which is fantastic. So again, that sort of
- 28:06Speaker 1: trauma not cool. So she continued to bother John about
- 28:10Speaker 1: the whole marriage thing, and he held his ground, but
- 28:14Speaker 1: it was becoming enough for him. He wanted her out
- 28:17Speaker 1: of his house.
- 28:19Speaker 2: Enough enough, Hey, enough's enough.
- 28:21Speaker 1: Yeah, but she refused. Now, while in John's house, Catherine
- 28:28Speaker 1: eventually found John's will and realized that he didn't have
- 28:32Speaker 1: her on it at all.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Okay, well have they like they've literally hardly been together
- 28:37Speaker 2: here at this point.
- 28:39Speaker 1: You can round it up and you can say two
- 28:41Speaker 1: years just to be gracious, huh.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Okay, she just oh, man, he's probably regretting some shit here.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, she's looking at the will and it's all like, oh,
- 28:50Speaker 1: you're leaving it to your ex wife and like your
- 28:52Speaker 1: kids and stuff like That's I'm not in your fucking
- 28:54Speaker 1: will and she thought this was absolute bullshit.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Yeah.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Why don't you did to get them back this time?
- 29:01Speaker 2: What?
- 29:02Speaker 1: Well, she didn't go after the kids this time, she
- 29:04Speaker 1: did go after him personally, okay. In retaliation, she secretly
- 29:08Speaker 1: recorded John handling items items that she alleged were stolen
- 29:14Speaker 1: from his workplace, and then she proceeded to take that
- 29:16Speaker 1: recording and send the video to his boss at work. Really, yes,
- 29:24Speaker 1: so the items in question were outdated medical kits in
- 29:27Speaker 1: first aid supplies that John had salvaged from the company's garbage. However,
- 29:32Speaker 1: this was enough for the company to see the theft,
- 29:34Speaker 1: and they terminated his employment after seventeen years with the company.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Wow, I don't even quite understand how that would like
- 29:42Speaker 2: even benefit her, Like she is like literally this Like I.
- 29:46Speaker 1: Don't she's a bitch, well shit, straight.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Up crazy, But I don't know that's like maybe not
- 29:51Speaker 2: the she's a crazy bitch she is though, like just
- 29:55Speaker 2: like the way her her her mind's like thinking about
- 29:59Speaker 2: all these thing she can do to just like ruin
- 30:01Speaker 2: other people's lives and people that she's supposed to like
- 30:03Speaker 2: care and love and stuff.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Is well, and remember we we are dealing with a psychopath. Yeah,
- 30:09Speaker 1: that is what she is.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Yeah, holy I okay, that's and that's also kind of
- 30:16Speaker 2: sad if they were expired first aid stuff that he'd
- 30:19Speaker 2: like literally just took from the garbage that he was
- 30:21Speaker 2: planning to use, which is better than them not being
- 30:23Speaker 2: in the landfill. Yeah, and his work is.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Just like no yeap terminated.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Hmm, brutal.
- 30:31Speaker 1: I mean, at least look at it from this from
- 30:33Speaker 1: the workplace standpoint. Though I don't agree with him, I'm
- 30:36Speaker 1: just Devil's advocate here. At the very least, you have
- 30:40Speaker 1: what's now being spread around work I'm sure as video
- 30:43Speaker 1: evidence of someone's stealing.
- 30:44Speaker 2: From the company and then they don't do anything.
- 30:47Speaker 1: And then they don't do anything. What's that going to promote?
- 30:49Speaker 2: Yeah? You almost have to wonder though, if that was
- 30:52Speaker 2: her way of trying to control him, more so in
- 30:56Speaker 2: that he now doesn't have a job and maybe like
- 30:58Speaker 2: needs to rely on her her and he's home more
- 31:02Speaker 2: well something.
- 31:03Speaker 1: I actually didn't go into this too much, but she
- 31:05Speaker 1: worked at the Slaughterhouse for a little while, but then
- 31:08Speaker 1: she ended up injuring her back somehow and was on disability,
- 31:11Speaker 1: so she didn't have a whole lot of income. Either.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so sorry.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Mosquitos one got in the house. I got him, I
- 31:19Speaker 1: got him. It's good.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Yeah, they're kind of bad today.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Yeah so yeah. She didn't really have much of an
- 31:24Speaker 1: income either, so.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Well yeah, so I just don't quite like to see
- 31:29Speaker 2: how that's going to benefit her in any way either revenge, well,
- 31:33Speaker 2: I mean, but now, like they're going to be struggling
- 31:35Speaker 2: for money and stuff.
- 31:36Speaker 1: I don't think she cares. The biggest thing with her
- 31:38Speaker 1: is she likes to see others suffer. Yeah, whether it's emotional, physical,
- 31:44Speaker 1: she likes to see suffering. She likes to be the
- 31:47Speaker 1: center of it. And she it's all about her. It
- 31:50Speaker 1: doesn't matter anyone else. And if you wrong her, she's
- 31:53Speaker 1: going to see you suffer so she can feel better.
- 31:56Speaker 2: Geez it true makes me talking, so it must just
- 32:00Speaker 2: makes me feel ill, like I want to barf.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, fair enough, I can. Yeah, sympathize. That's what
- 32:10Speaker 1: I was looking for. I can sympathize with that. Yeah. Well, anyways,
- 32:13Speaker 1: John was absolutely fed up with Catherine, so he made
- 32:16Speaker 1: the decision to finally kick her out of his house
- 32:19Speaker 1: once and for all. Now. It was February twenty ninth
- 32:22Speaker 1: that he visited the Scone Magistrate Courthouse on his way
- 32:26Speaker 1: to work and obtained a restraining order in an attempt
- 32:29Speaker 1: to protect himself and his children from Catherine. That afternoon,
- 32:34Speaker 1: while at his new job. At work, John spoke to
- 32:36Speaker 1: his coworkers about Catherine and was showing scars from physical
- 32:40Speaker 1: abuse that he'd been enduring throughout the relationship. Reportedly, some
- 32:45Speaker 1: of the scars were from her, though I couldn't find
- 32:48Speaker 1: information on it. Stabbing him.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
- 32:51Speaker 1: So I don't know how deep or the extent or
- 32:54Speaker 1: the tool or even the incident, because there's a lot
- 32:56Speaker 1: of these incidents within her relationships. It's hard to sift
- 33:00Speaker 1: through them all.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I could imagine the amount of like research
- 33:04Speaker 2: you had to do for this. God.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Well, it's over the course of entire lifetime, lifetime of
- 33:10Speaker 1: abuse not only on her and her childhood, but in
- 33:13Speaker 1: her adulthood, abusing others. So anyways, he was talking about it,
- 33:20Speaker 1: and he showed the scars, and he also told his
- 33:22Speaker 1: co workers He's like, Hey, if I don't show up
- 33:24Speaker 1: for work tomorrow, it's because Catherine killed me.
- 33:27Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Just warning people, just warning people, and I mean respectably.
- 33:34Speaker 1: His coworkers were pretty much begging him, like, don't fucking
- 33:38Speaker 1: go home then, like if you are thinking you're going
- 33:42Speaker 1: to be in danger like this, this woman is this
- 33:45Speaker 1: off the wall, don't fucking go home.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's tough. Are they offering him somewhere to
- 33:54Speaker 2: stay and stuff? Because it's hard?
- 33:55Speaker 1: That's hard, right, Well, I'm sure someone would have offered
- 33:58Speaker 1: him somewhere to stay. I guarantee you he would be
- 34:00Speaker 1: able to find a place easy enough.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Because yeah, you did say he was like well liked he.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Was he was, And especially if someone's like I'm gonna
- 34:07Speaker 1: get fucking murdered tonight. I don't think I know anyone
- 34:12Speaker 1: who would say you cannot stay with me then like.
- 34:16Speaker 2: Yeah, but then that's also kind of scary for them too.
- 34:19Speaker 2: And he could even be thinking, well, he doesn't want
- 34:21Speaker 2: to put other people in danger.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Yeah, but if they don't know, especially in this is
- 34:25Speaker 1: now in the eighties, there's the most cell phones, there's
- 34:27Speaker 1: no internet, how are you going to fucking know that
- 34:29Speaker 1: he's at? Yeah, Jeffrey's house did four blocks away.
- 34:33Speaker 2: I guess or.
- 34:36Speaker 1: It would be. But John's major reasoning though, why he
- 34:40Speaker 1: was insisting that he does need to go home. He
- 34:43Speaker 1: knew that there was a chance that she would harm
- 34:45Speaker 1: his kids if he didn't go back home. That was
- 34:48Speaker 1: the big thing for him, right. So, after a shift
- 34:51Speaker 1: at work, he did as he always did, despite any
- 34:53Speaker 1: danger that he thought he might be in, and he
- 34:55Speaker 1: returned home as per usual. Now, when he was home,
- 35:01Speaker 1: he discovered that Catherine had actually sent the children away
- 35:04Speaker 1: for a sleepover at a friend's place. Now, relieved that
- 35:07Speaker 1: his kids were safe, he actually spent the evening had
- 35:09Speaker 1: his neighbor's place before returning home and going to bed
- 35:12Speaker 1: at eleven PM. This spot is a little bit gray
- 35:16Speaker 1: for me. I couldn't find if Catherine was there when
- 35:18Speaker 1: he got home or not, or there must have been
- 35:21Speaker 1: a note that she wrote or something saying that kids
- 35:24Speaker 1: are away. Yeah, I'm assuming she wasn't there, the note
- 35:28Speaker 1: was there, That's my assumption. Okay, so bear that in mind.
- 35:31Speaker 2: He just on edge for the whole night, basically.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Yes. Now, at six am the following day, a neighbor
- 35:38Speaker 1: had noticed that John's car was still in his driveway
- 35:40Speaker 1: when he usually has gone to work by Now, John's
- 35:43Speaker 1: employer also sent a worker to check on him, as
- 35:48Speaker 1: he didn't show up for his shift, and after repeatedly
- 35:51Speaker 1: calling him on his phone, there was no answer. Oh no,
- 35:56Speaker 1: So both the neighbor and the worker together were trying
- 35:59Speaker 1: to get's attention. They were knocking on his bedroom window
- 36:03Speaker 1: trying to get him to wake up, thinking that he
- 36:05Speaker 1: must be in there. And they went to the front
- 36:08Speaker 1: door to try and knock, and that's where they saw
- 36:10Speaker 1: traces of blood on the front door, and they knew
- 36:13Speaker 1: something wasn't.
- 36:15Speaker 2: Right, dang it.
- 36:18Speaker 1: So they quickly alerted police, who broke down the back
- 36:22Speaker 1: door of his home on eighty fourth Saint Andrew's Street
- 36:24Speaker 1: and discovered John's lifeless body.
- 36:27Speaker 2: She got him, She got to him.
- 36:30Speaker 1: So Catherine was also in the.
- 36:32Speaker 2: Home alive, Yes, alive, Okay.
- 36:37Speaker 1: She was found passed out in a comatose state from
- 36:40Speaker 1: consuming a large amount of pills. She was lying next
- 36:44Speaker 1: to the remains, mutilated remains of John Price.
- 36:48Speaker 2: Whoa So was she like trying to kill herself commit suicide?
- 36:55Speaker 2: Or that's a gray area.
- 36:56Speaker 1: Maybe we'll we'll get onto that too.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Okay.
- 36:59Speaker 1: So Catherine had purchased the night before. Sorry, I'm a
- 37:03Speaker 1: paragraph ahead of myself. So what had happened the night
- 37:06Speaker 1: of John's death is odd? Bizarre string of events and
- 37:10Speaker 1: somewhat argumentative of showing premeditation. Okay, so the night before
- 37:20Speaker 1: she had purchased this lace black nightgown and headed over
- 37:24Speaker 1: to see your kids at her place. She recorded them
- 37:31Speaker 1: in what kind of almost seems like a last will
- 37:33Speaker 1: and testament kind of way, okay, kind of talking on
- 37:36Speaker 1: camera about certain items that, oh, this is this is mine.
- 37:39Speaker 1: I've always loved this, so it's yours. What's mine is yours?
- 37:43Speaker 1: Kind of attitude, right.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Maybe a little bit different.
- 37:46Speaker 1: Yeah, And after that she went to John's house. She
- 37:50Speaker 1: showered and put on the nightgown, and at this time
- 37:55Speaker 1: John was already home asleep, so she would sleep a
- 37:58Speaker 1: little while and then woke up in the middle of
- 37:59Speaker 1: the night, and then she also woke up John, and
- 38:03Speaker 1: the two began having sex. Interesting after that a little while,
- 38:09Speaker 1: kind of thing they did, thing they did, thing they did.
- 38:15Speaker 1: John fell back asleep, and that's when the attack occurred.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Is it because they only had sex one time?
- 38:22Speaker 1: Maybe? I don't know. Catherine would reach forward and retrieve
- 38:27Speaker 1: a butcher knife from its usual place hanging above the bed,
- 38:30Speaker 1: and she proceeded to stab John a total of thirty
- 38:34Speaker 1: seven times.
- 38:36Speaker 2: Brutal.
- 38:38Speaker 1: It is thought that John briefly regained consciousness during the attack,
- 38:42Speaker 1: but unfortunately was unable to defend himself. There's also thoughts
- 38:47Speaker 1: that he was able to stumble through the house a bit,
- 38:50Speaker 1: exiting through the front door, and whether he fell back
- 38:53Speaker 1: inside or was pulled back inside before the door was closed.
- 38:57Speaker 1: On sure, but he would succumb to the injuries of
- 39:00Speaker 1: the attack.
- 39:01Speaker 2: You know. It's almost surprising to me though, that he
- 39:03Speaker 2: was able to even fall asleep. Yeah, Like he must
- 39:08Speaker 2: have really was able to sleep. Be Like, I just
- 39:11Speaker 2: feel like I would have troubles falling asleep if you
- 39:15Speaker 2: literally thought the person next to you was could murder you.
- 39:18Speaker 1: Yeah, but that might as much as I hate to
- 39:20Speaker 1: give her this credit, that might just fall back onto
- 39:23Speaker 1: the fact that she's just that good of a fucking lay.
- 39:25Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh gosh, I mean, he's like dead asleep.
- 39:31Speaker 1: He wakes up all of a sudden, he's getting like
- 39:34Speaker 1: the lay of his life, and then just rolls over
- 39:36Speaker 1: back to sleep again.
- 39:37Speaker 2: Well yeah, and he's probably like, oh, like we just
- 39:40Speaker 2: we just did this, like nothing bad it's gonna happen. Yeah,
- 39:44Speaker 2: but he literally had no idea how nuts she was exactly.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Yeah, so Catherine, unfortunately though, wasn't done killing him, wasn't
- 39:54Speaker 1: just enough for her. She would then drag his body
- 39:58Speaker 1: into an area where she would proceed to skin him
- 40:00Speaker 1: and hang him hangs remains, in fact, from meat hooks
- 40:04Speaker 1: in the living room.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that's gross.
- 40:07Speaker 1: She would proceed to decapitate his body and dismember him.
- 40:11Speaker 1: Not only that, but she began preparing pieces of his
- 40:14Speaker 1: flesh to cook in a dish alongside potatoes, pumpkins, beets, zucchini, cabbage, squash,
- 40:20Speaker 1: and even gravy. The fuck yeah, she's she's making in
- 40:25Speaker 1: the middle of the night a roast with his basically, yeah,
- 40:30Speaker 1: remains basically, Uh, she prepared a whole whole meal for herself,
- 40:37Speaker 1: although evidence would at the crime scene suggest that she
- 40:41Speaker 1: couldn't finish her plate, as portions of the meal were discarded,
- 40:44Speaker 1: and that discarded it was actually discarded out in the
- 40:46Speaker 1: backyard on the lawn somewhere, so it's kind of like
- 40:49Speaker 1: odd spot to be discarded. But uh, half her plate
- 40:52Speaker 1: was She finished half her plate.
- 40:54Speaker 2: Basically, so like she literally ate some of him.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she consumed him.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Huh.
- 40:59Speaker 1: She cooked and can assumed.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Him, Hey, well, can we please note that Ben is
- 41:02Speaker 2: doing a cannibalism.
- 41:04Speaker 1: Case and not Nicole.
- 41:06Speaker 2: There you go, it's not always me, not always you.
- 41:10Speaker 1: There's there's there's a once for everything. First time, first time,
- 41:15Speaker 1: that's that's the same. That's it.
- 41:16Speaker 2: We're really good with our words today. At least we
- 41:19Speaker 2: can help each other out.
- 41:20Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding. So yeah. She prepared the meal for
- 41:25Speaker 1: herself ate at least some of it in the discard
- 41:28Speaker 1: of the rest. Subsequently, she would then lay down next
- 41:32Speaker 1: to some of John's mutilated remains and ingest a significant
- 41:39Speaker 1: amount of pills before she lost consciousness.
- 41:42Speaker 2: Hmm, that is just so fucked well.
- 41:47Speaker 1: The last little gory detail here. Amongst all the blood
- 41:50Speaker 1: and gore around the house, law enforcement encombed another gruesome
- 41:54Speaker 1: sight of John's severed head boiling in a pot of
- 41:57Speaker 1: vegetables on the stove. I think this is now like
- 42:01Speaker 1: the third or fourth case where there's been a head
- 42:03Speaker 1: boiling on the stove.
- 42:05Speaker 2: It's a thing. I don't I have absolutely no idea why.
- 42:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know either, but it's apparently a thing.
- 42:10Speaker 2: It's like they're making stock for soup. Yeah, which is disturbing.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Why don't know something else very disturbing about this. No, well,
- 42:18Speaker 1: they also found two more fully set plates with food
- 42:22Speaker 1: and flesh set at the table, each bearing a name
- 42:27Speaker 1: tag next to it.
- 42:29Speaker 2: For his kids.
- 42:30Speaker 1: Two of his kids. Oh, apparently she left out one
- 42:34Speaker 1: because she liked the kid. But the other two, Yeah,
- 42:38Speaker 1: there were place sets with their dads cooked remains alongside
- 42:45Speaker 1: healthy servings of vegetables and gravy ready to go. She
- 42:49Speaker 1: fully intended to feed the kids their dad.
- 42:52Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, this just keeps getting worse, Like, are
- 42:56Speaker 2: we done yet here?
- 42:59Speaker 1: Well, what do you mean why we Like, I just.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Cannot believe that this can keep going. Well, I mean
- 43:04Speaker 2: she needs okay, at this point, if she if she's alive,
- 43:08Speaker 2: she needs to be in jail. And like there's no
- 43:10Speaker 2: literal chance that she can get out of jail at
- 43:13Speaker 2: this point.
- 43:14Speaker 1: You think, so, Yeah, okay, okay, Well, Catherine would wake up.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Catherine was not dead. Police were able to wake her
- 43:22Speaker 1: up on the scene, and of course, when she woke up,
- 43:25Speaker 1: what do you think she did?
- 43:26Speaker 2: Oh my god, what happened?
- 43:28Speaker 1: Yeah, she played dumb and and claimed that she had
- 43:30Speaker 1: no recollection of the incident that transpired.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Okay, and they didn't buy it.
- 43:38Speaker 1: I don't think so really, but who knows.
- 43:41Speaker 2: She was pretty good, Like, she was pretty good at
- 43:45Speaker 2: making people like manipulative, lah, well, manipulative.
- 43:49Speaker 1: Manipulative, she was maculative. Yeah, well, just one little piece
- 43:53Speaker 1: here to show her manipulation skills. There was a witness
- 43:56Speaker 1: watching the police aftermath of the crime scene, the police
- 44:00Speaker 1: bombarding the house because like it kind of caused a
- 44:02Speaker 1: scene in the neighborhood. People were kind of gathered.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Yeah, right, that would.
- 44:05Speaker 1: And so a witness would talk about seeing Catherine actually
- 44:09Speaker 1: walk out of the house with a very evil, malicious
- 44:13Speaker 1: smile across her face. And at the hospital she would
- 44:19Speaker 1: arrive on a bed.
- 44:23Speaker 2: What does that mean?
- 44:24Speaker 1: Catherine willingly walks out of the house smiling, But yeah,
- 44:27Speaker 1: when she arrives at the hospital, she's in bed and
- 44:29Speaker 1: very sick.
- 44:30Speaker 2: Ah geez, yeah, oh just like kay. Was she like
- 44:37Speaker 2: a good looking person? No, okay, no, some reason, I'm
- 44:41Speaker 2: just like picturing this like just this babe. No okay, well,
- 44:46Speaker 2: like I have no idea how she's getting away with
- 44:48Speaker 2: this shit and stuff.
- 44:49Speaker 1: I mean, objectively speaking, in her prime, was she horrible? No,
- 44:55Speaker 1: I'd say she's I don't know, like average in her prime.
- 44:59Speaker 2: Okay, but yeah, huh yeah, just that's quite a visual
- 45:07Speaker 2: her just like walking out of there, just completely needing help,
- 45:12Speaker 2: Like you have to be careful with the words you use, right,
- 45:15Speaker 2: like she needs help and just like what she just did,
- 45:18Speaker 2: and she is looking like pleased with herself about it.
- 45:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Wow.
- 45:25Speaker 1: There was one final little piece here that I'm going
- 45:27Speaker 1: to talk about from the crime scene. On top of
- 45:30Speaker 1: a photograph in the house of John, police also found
- 45:33Speaker 1: a note Catherine had had written. It was stained with
- 45:36Speaker 1: bits of blood and had bits of remaining flesh attached
- 45:40Speaker 1: to it, just from residual handling. And though it's somewhat gibberish,
- 45:46Speaker 1: the note reads this hopeful, hopefully you can kind of
- 45:50Speaker 1: we'll walk through it a bit. Time got you back,
- 45:54Speaker 1: Jonathan for raping my daughter. You to bec for Ross
- 45:59Speaker 1: for little John. Now play with little John's dick, John Price.
- 46:06Speaker 1: Now the individuals she's referring to, Beck Ross and Little
- 46:10Speaker 1: John are apparently some of John's children or some of
- 46:13Speaker 1: the children involved. Okay, So after a lengthy investigation, actually
- 46:18Speaker 1: police found that the claims and accusations of raping were
- 46:22Speaker 1: baseless and most likely fictitious.
- 46:25Speaker 2: Almost her kind of throwing in an excuse there for
- 46:30Speaker 2: what she did.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, kind of just saying like giving herself reason, saying, oh,
- 46:35Speaker 1: this is why I did it, you know, trying to
- 46:37Speaker 1: maybe give him a bad name in the aftermath too,
- 46:40Speaker 1: who knows.
- 46:40Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 46:42Speaker 1: So Catherine and her legal team initially offered a plea
- 46:46Speaker 1: of guilty to manslaughter, which is basically like, oops, I
- 46:52Speaker 1: accidentally killed someone, like hitting someone with a vehicle, right, like, yah,
- 46:57Speaker 1: did not mean to kill them?
- 46:59Speaker 2: Well, but tech, I honestly don't even one hundred percent
- 47:02Speaker 2: feel like this could have been planned because like maybe
- 47:05Speaker 2: she didn't necessarily plan to kill him, but like she
- 47:08Speaker 2: has those knives in the spot and woke up and
- 47:11Speaker 2: something pissed her off, and and here she went on
- 47:14Speaker 2: a little rampage. Well.
- 47:16Speaker 1: The little argument for premeditation, though, is the kind of
- 47:20Speaker 1: Will and Testament video prior to So it's like, oh,
- 47:25Speaker 1: you're sitting here recording a video of like, oh, make
- 47:28Speaker 1: sure that my kid gets this sort of thing, or
- 47:30Speaker 1: like she didn't say that per se, but she henced
- 47:32Speaker 1: a lot of that sort of stuff. It's like, oh,
- 47:34Speaker 1: why are you kind of like doing a last Will
- 47:37Speaker 1: and Testament thing? On a little video all of a
- 47:39Speaker 1: sudden the night before this big murder. Clearly you were
- 47:42Speaker 1: planning something.
- 47:43Speaker 2: Well, she was planning to maybe kill herself, touche, but
- 47:47Speaker 2: maybe not him, but probably him. I'm just I'm just.
- 47:50Speaker 1: Well, even if that isn't the case, even if it
- 47:53Speaker 1: was just a lapse in judgment a in the spur
- 47:57Speaker 1: of the moment killing, she stabbed him thirty.
- 47:59Speaker 2: Seven, Well, yeah, overkilled.
- 48:01Speaker 1: She skinned him, She cut his head off, she boiled her,
- 48:05Speaker 1: cooked him, she ate him. She also made vegetables alongside
- 48:10Speaker 1: his fucking body.
- 48:12Speaker 2: Yeah, that needs to be more than just a premeditation.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Doesn't have to be like hours or days in advance.
- 48:17Speaker 1: It can be like a few, like moments before.
- 48:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 48:20Speaker 1: If you intentionally say I'm gonna do this, and then
- 48:23Speaker 1: seconds later you do it, that's pre meditation. Yeah, and
- 48:25Speaker 1: that's exactly what she did. She's like, I'm going to
- 48:27Speaker 1: fucking stab him more, I'm gonna cook him, I'm gonna
- 48:30Speaker 1: eat him. I'm gonna make a plate for his kids.
- 48:33Speaker 1: Like fuck that?
- 48:34Speaker 2: Yeah what? Yeah, nope, Yeah, it eats more than that.
- 48:38Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 48:38Speaker 2: Sure.
- 48:39Speaker 1: So she was like, yeah, I'll play guilty demandslaughter. Catherine
- 48:43Speaker 1: would enter the plea sorry, it would be rejected, my apologies,
- 48:48Speaker 1: and on March second, two thousand and one, she would
- 48:50Speaker 1: officially be charged with murder of John Price, and she
- 48:53Speaker 1: would enter the plea of not guilty. And though the
- 48:55Speaker 1: trial was initially scheduled for the twenty third of July
- 48:58Speaker 1: in two thousand and one, it would be postponed and
- 49:01Speaker 1: it would eventually take place place on October fifteenth in
- 49:03Speaker 1: two thousand and one. Okay, so, during the commencement of
- 49:07Speaker 1: the trial, Justice Barry O'Keeffe offered all the sixty prospective
- 49:13Speaker 1: jurors the option to be excused due to the graphic
- 49:15Speaker 1: nature of the photographic evidence. That alone is wild to me.
- 49:20Speaker 2: Okay, so this is like super disturbing. Then I'm about
- 49:23Speaker 2: to say this, but if I'm like ever on a jury,
- 49:26Speaker 2: this would be like the case that I want to
- 49:28Speaker 2: be on. I would be so mortified and so disturbed
- 49:31Speaker 2: and just sick to my stomach. But it would be
- 49:33Speaker 2: like pretty fucking interesting.
- 49:35Speaker 1: I have a feeling anyone lists out there listening to
- 49:38Speaker 1: a true crime.
- 49:39Speaker 2: Podcast, especially say the same thing.
- 49:41Speaker 1: Yeah, especially if they're on part two and this deep
- 49:44Speaker 1: into second part of this episode. I have a feeling
- 49:47Speaker 1: they're all with you on that and they.
- 49:48Speaker 2: Understand, but honestly, also, it would be traumatizing. Oh yeah,
- 49:53Speaker 2: it would one hundred percent affect the rest of your life.
- 49:56Speaker 1: Though definitely it'd be fucked up.
- 49:59Speaker 2: Yeah, but it would be like, wow, it'd be fucked
- 50:01Speaker 2: up a fascinating yeah.
- 50:03Speaker 1: Yeah. So during the commencement of the trials, so I
- 50:07Speaker 1: covered that there will be five jurors that actually took
- 50:10Speaker 1: up the opportunity to be excused from this. So Catherine's
- 50:15Speaker 1: defense had initially planned to argue her case based on
- 50:20Speaker 1: claims of amnesia and disassociation, okay, which apparently had the
- 50:25Speaker 1: support of most psychiatrists despite their acknowledgment of her sanity.
- 50:31Speaker 1: So they're like, she's sane, but psychiatrists still support the
- 50:35Speaker 1: idea of amnesia and disassociation.
- 50:38Speaker 2: Yeah, that's well, I think that she was almost in
- 50:40Speaker 2: some sort of state, because didn't at some point you
- 50:42Speaker 2: say like there could be like a switch, Yeah.
- 50:45Speaker 1: Right, well, it seemed like that it seemed like anything
- 50:47Speaker 1: could just fucking set her off. Yeah yeah, So yeah,
- 50:50Speaker 1: psychiatrists are like, yeah, she's completely sane, but yeah, I
- 50:52Speaker 1: think there is something there that yeah, like you're saying
- 50:55Speaker 1: this switch almost so two psychiatrists concluded that Catherine suffered
- 51:02Speaker 1: from borderline personality disorder as well. Oh okay, so it's
- 51:06Speaker 1: kind of like almost on the lines of bipolar, which
- 51:09Speaker 1: would explain that switch and this whole situation. Now, the
- 51:14Speaker 1: next day on Catherine's trial, unexpectedly, she changed her plea
- 51:21Speaker 1: to guilty.
- 51:22Speaker 2: Really, yes, she just decided to have a conscience overnight
- 51:27Speaker 2: or what.
- 51:27Speaker 1: I guess. She's like, no, I'm guilty, and her legal
- 51:30Speaker 1: team's like what, no, no, and she's like, no, I'm guilty.
- 51:35Speaker 1: I'm pleading guilty.
- 51:36Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
- 51:37Speaker 1: And of course they can't make her not Yeah.
- 51:39Speaker 2: Well, I mean, gosh, I feel like they should be happy. Gosh.
- 51:42Speaker 2: Could you imagine defending her? Oh oh, I don't know
- 51:45Speaker 2: if I couldn't accept that amount of money, Like I
- 51:49Speaker 2: need endless amount of money to be able to do that.
- 51:52Speaker 1: No kidding. So her legal team, though, did apparently know
- 51:56Speaker 1: that she was changing her plea on the initial day
- 51:59Speaker 1: of the trial. Is now day two when she's leaning
- 52:01Speaker 1: guilty on day one, they knew that she was changing
- 52:04Speaker 1: her plea. However, they wanted the overnight to basically get
- 52:07Speaker 1: a psychiatric evaluation to determine if she was fully comprehending
- 52:11Speaker 1: the implications of a guilty and yeah, she passes like, yeah,
- 52:16Speaker 1: she knows what she's doing. She's perfectly fine, she can
- 52:19Speaker 1: make the call herself totally.
- 52:21Speaker 2: Yeah. But I'm like, this is good riddance, this is
- 52:23Speaker 2: a good thing.
- 52:24Speaker 1: Yeah. So Catherine never gave any sort of specific reason
- 52:29Speaker 1: why she suddenly changed to a guilty plea huh. Yeah,
- 52:34Speaker 1: And even after changing and pleading guilty, she continued to
- 52:38Speaker 1: deny responsibilities for her actions.
- 52:39Speaker 2: Though, Oh okay, that's a bit weird.
- 52:41Speaker 1: Yeah, She's like, I did it, but I didn't do
- 52:44Speaker 1: but I'm not responsible for it.
- 52:47Speaker 2: I mean, unless she's kind of saying like that in
- 52:50Speaker 2: that state. Yeah.
- 52:51Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think what she was trying to do
- 52:54Speaker 1: with this is trying to probably get a lesser sentence.
- 52:58Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, I'm just gonna play guilty, and I'm
- 53:01Speaker 1: just gonna say the psychiatrists will know that I'm like disassociating,
- 53:05Speaker 1: borderline personality disorder, all this sort of stuff. If she's like,
- 53:09Speaker 1: I'm just gonna play guilty, they know this, then perhaps
- 53:12Speaker 1: it'll be a lesser sentence. Maybe I'll just go into
- 53:14Speaker 1: psychiatric care. That could have been what she's hoping for, I.
- 53:19Speaker 2: Guess, but I feel like I don't know if she
- 53:21Speaker 2: just ran the course of the trial that she would
- 53:24Speaker 2: have ended up getting lest But who knows.
- 53:26Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows for sure. So during the sentence hearing,
- 53:30Speaker 1: when details of a gruesome act of skinning in decapitation
- 53:33Speaker 1: were being described, Catherine reportedly became quote hysterical and had
- 53:37Speaker 1: to be sedated. Now I can't find facts on what
- 53:43Speaker 1: hysterical exactly means. I'm assuming in like a like panic
- 53:48Speaker 1: attack sort of way, not like a joker laughing maniacal way.
- 53:53Speaker 2: Like almost Wow, I fucking did that? Potentially, I think so.
- 54:00Speaker 1: So on the eighth of November, Catherine Knight was sentenced
- 54:03Speaker 1: to life in prison without anything of a specification on
- 54:08Speaker 1: a non parole period. So there's nothing in there saying
- 54:11Speaker 1: about a parole period. However, on her papers, on her
- 54:15Speaker 1: prison sentence papers, there is a phrase that the sentence
- 54:21Speaker 1: had to be contained in this. So it's like the
- 54:23Speaker 1: sentence is like, she's due to life, no parole specifications. However,
- 54:27Speaker 1: the sentence papers have to say this definitely never to
- 54:33Speaker 1: be released.
- 54:35Speaker 2: Okay, oh my gosh.
- 54:38Speaker 1: Could you imagine the fucking papers saying that definitely never
- 54:41Speaker 1: to be released.
- 54:43Speaker 2: Well, thank goodness they say that.
- 54:45Speaker 1: Yeah, and this marked the first time such a designation
- 54:49Speaker 1: had ever and I mean ever, been imposed on a
- 54:53Speaker 1: woman in Australian history, the first woman to ever serve
- 54:58Speaker 1: a full or be given a full life sentence.
- 55:03Speaker 2: Huh Is she still alive? You know?
- 55:07Speaker 1: I actually that's one thing I didn't actually look up.
- 55:09Speaker 1: We'll google it here at the end. I have one
- 55:10Speaker 1: more paragraph. In June of two thousand and six, Catherine
- 55:14Speaker 1: appealed her life sentence, arguing that a penalty of life
- 55:17Speaker 1: imprisonment without the possibility of parole was overly severe for
- 55:21Speaker 1: the crime she committed, but her appeal was of course denied. Now,
- 55:26Speaker 1: I did assume Catherine is still alive, though I never
- 55:30Speaker 1: did actually look it up. Per se, Nicole's doing it
- 55:33Speaker 1: right now? What do you think?
- 55:34Speaker 2: Well, I don't what the frick's her last name? Though?
- 55:36Speaker 1: Night Okay, that's what I thought, k N I g H.
- 55:39Speaker 2: T Okay, this could take me a minute here, Shit,
- 55:43Speaker 2: I think she's still alive.
- 55:45Speaker 1: I'm pretty I'm pretty sure she is, but I just
- 55:48Speaker 1: didn't yes, because.
- 55:48Speaker 2: It says she's sixty seven years old.
- 55:50Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so Catherine, yeah, is still alive. Nicole just
- 55:53Speaker 1: fact checked it.
- 55:55Speaker 2: I really don't love that. I mean not that I'm
- 55:58Speaker 2: saying like that I want her to die, but it's
- 56:00Speaker 2: just like crazy that someone that's so like terrifying is
- 56:04Speaker 2: out there is still alive.
- 56:05Speaker 1: Like, I wonder what she's thinking right now.
- 56:09Speaker 2: Oh, let's not, let's not wonder that.
- 56:13Speaker 1: How do you think someone like that would live out
- 56:15Speaker 1: their days behind bars? Well, someone and I don't mean
- 56:18Speaker 1: someone like that, not someone like who commits that sort
- 56:21Speaker 1: of atrocity. I'm talking like bare bones. What do you
- 56:24Speaker 1: think goes through a psychopath's head once they are put
- 56:27Speaker 1: behind bars? Just that alone?
- 56:31Speaker 2: Well, it kind of depends because, like I need, I
- 56:34Speaker 2: sort of would want to know if she has been
- 56:37Speaker 2: getting help or if she's like on maybe some medication
- 56:40Speaker 2: or whatever for like her mental health.
- 56:42Speaker 1: I'm sure there definitely is some help.
- 56:44Speaker 2: Because if yeah, if she wasn't, then I just think
- 56:46Speaker 2: it wouldn't be pretty at all. But then if she is,
- 56:49Speaker 2: I don't know, I feel like like someone like that,
- 56:53Speaker 2: I think like strict routine would be really good for them.
- 56:56Speaker 2: So I bet you she's actually really like doing pretty
- 56:58Speaker 2: good in there.
- 56:59Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, it's probably where someone like that. And
- 57:04Speaker 1: I don't mean it in a negative context, we're like, yeah,
- 57:06Speaker 1: fucking burn and hell no, I mean, like I think,
- 57:09Speaker 1: like you say, strict routine is probably good for someone
- 57:10Speaker 1: like that. I think behind bars in prison is probably
- 57:14Speaker 1: the best place for someone like that because it's going
- 57:17Speaker 1: to offer rehabilitation, it's going to offer structure, it's going
- 57:20Speaker 1: to offer rules, it's going to offer people watching and
- 57:23Speaker 1: ensuring that there's no slip ups.
- 57:25Speaker 2: Well yeah, and like I mean, there probably isn't a
- 57:29Speaker 2: lot in there that's going to like set her off.
- 57:31Speaker 1: Yeah, And now all that is hoping that she is
- 57:34Speaker 1: in a good prison system where yeah, those rules are
- 57:36Speaker 1: being upheld. Yeah, and not like shitty guards who are like,
- 57:41Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'll get your cigarettes.
- 57:42Speaker 2: For cheap, like you know, like she's really just not
- 57:45Speaker 2: that old, she's not interesting, huh. Okay.
- 57:51Speaker 1: And so that is the story of Catherine Knight, the
- 57:54Speaker 1: cannibal who tried to feed a man to his own
- 57:58Speaker 1: children and is the psychopath who is the first woman
- 58:03Speaker 1: in Australia to receive a full life sentence.
- 58:07Speaker 2: What a story, What a story.
- 58:10Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a fun one to research.
- 58:12Speaker 2: I actually think that would be hell to research.
- 58:15Speaker 1: It would be you would know, Yeah, it really would be.
- 58:20Speaker 2: I think that actually took a lot out of you.
- 58:23Speaker 2: That did.
- 58:24Speaker 1: I mean, I don't feel like emotionally distraught, but I
- 58:30Speaker 1: just feel like physically drained, which is weird. Usually it
- 58:33Speaker 1: like hits emotionally. This one was just like fuck.
- 58:36Speaker 2: Well. Sometimes the two parters are a bit more draining too,
- 58:39Speaker 2: because there's like so much information and you're trying to
- 58:42Speaker 2: put it in an order that makes sense kind of,
- 58:46Speaker 2: and and try not to forget things when because they
- 58:49Speaker 2: do so much.
- 58:50Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, well she committed. It's so much a lot
- 58:53Speaker 1: and a lot of little acts that balled up over decades, really,
- 58:58Speaker 1: and it's impossible to cover every single little detail in
- 59:01Speaker 1: this case. And I know we've said that a few
- 59:04Speaker 1: other times before, but this was literally a lifetime of crime.
- 59:08Speaker 2: Is that her?
- 59:09Speaker 1: That's yeah?
- 59:10Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, she's not really a looker, is she. No?
- 59:12Speaker 1: That's not her prime though, either, But no, she's not
- 59:15Speaker 1: really a looker, like I say, in her prime, she's like,
- 59:17Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you know, kind of.
- 59:18Speaker 2: Average huh okay, interesting, Yeah, not really what I had
- 59:23Speaker 2: pictured for some mind for reason.
- 59:25Speaker 1: There are two mosquitos.
- 59:26Speaker 2: Like I think I was kind of picturing because a
- 59:28Speaker 2: lot of I was kind of picturing like a psychopath
- 59:32Speaker 2: man that's a good looking like Ted Bundy or like
- 59:35Speaker 2: Jeffrey Dahmer or what's the Barbie Ken? What the frick's
- 59:39Speaker 2: his name? Again? Oh, I'm Karla Hamoka, And.
- 59:46Speaker 1: Shit, this is why we're terrible through crime trivia. They
- 59:52Speaker 1: were literally a question on this trivia too.
- 59:55Speaker 2: I can. I have absolutely no idea what his name is.
- 59:58Speaker 2: There's two mosquitoes people screaming at us.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: Are you hearing what I'm saying? This is the second
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: time I've said it. There's two mosquitos in the wall
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: behind you.
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: What am I supposed to do about that? Right now?
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: Get them, slap them, kill them, destroy them.
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: Well, I'm currently trying to find what this guy's name was. Oh,
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: Paul Bernard. It is as I was picturing, kind of
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: like a good looking person like that kind of his example.
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: Right, No, No, she just a good lay.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: I think you'd have to be real good.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Apparently she was that.
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: Good, like unnaturally good.
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: Apparently she was.
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: But I also don't think I mean, guys are different.
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: But I was like I don't. I could probably have
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: had the best lay in my life and I would
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: still be running from the hills from that lady.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: Well yeah, fair enough, I can't argue that.
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: Okay, well, well done yea.
