0:33
Speaker 1: let's get into today's story. On the advice of his
0:49
Speaker 1: longtime therapist, a seventy year old man named Art began
0:53
Speaker 1: writing about what happened to him and his family thirty
0:55
Speaker 1: years earlier in nineteen eighty nine. His therapist only knew
0:59
Speaker 1: Art had lost the child and felt very guilty about it.
1:02
Speaker 1: But the conditions under which the child was lost was
1:05
Speaker 1: always very gray. Even though Art had been his patient
1:08
Speaker 1: for years and the therapist had repeatedly tried to get
1:12
Speaker 1: more information. You know, was this a child that was
1:14
Speaker 1: lost in pregnancy? Was it a child that was born
1:17
Speaker 1: and died or ran away? Those details never emerged, and
1:21
Speaker 1: every time the therapist tried to dig in, Art would
1:24
Speaker 1: back off, close up, and he would not talk about it.
1:26
Speaker 1: And so finally his therapist said, Art, you just need
1:29
Speaker 1: to find a way to talk about this stuff. If
1:31
Speaker 1: you're not going to talk about it with me, then
1:33
Speaker 1: perhaps you should write it all down in a private journal.
1:36
Speaker 1: It'll be a very cathartic experience and it might help
1:38
Speaker 1: you get over that guilt you're feeling.
1:39
Speaker 2: So Art reluctantly agrees.
1:41
Speaker 1: He goes home, he gets out a piece of paper
1:43
Speaker 1: and he begins writing all the details of everything that
1:46
Speaker 1: happened leading up to that day in nineteen eighty nine,
1:49
Speaker 1: and what actually happened on that day in nineteen eighty nine.
1:53
Speaker 1: And when he was done and he had a chance
1:55
Speaker 1: to look at what he had written, he didn't feel better.
1:57
Speaker 1: He felt worse. He felt more guilty. That's because Art
2:00
Speaker 1: had a secret that the therapist didn't know about, and
2:03
Speaker 1: now that it was out on paper, Art suddenly felt like,
2:05
Speaker 1: you know what, before I die, I have to tell
2:08
Speaker 1: the world what me and my wife did so. In
2:10
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, he took all of those notes that he
2:13
Speaker 1: had written down about what had happened, and he posted
2:15
Speaker 1: it to Reddit.
2:16
Speaker 2: This is his confession story. Art's son was very, very troubled.
2:24
Speaker 1: Art would say, if you've seen the movie We Need
2:27
Speaker 1: to Talk About Kevin, where a couple's son turns out
2:30
Speaker 1: to be a total psychopath, Art says, that's a pretty
2:32
Speaker 1: good representation of what home life was like with our son.
2:35
Speaker 1: From the day Art's son was born in nineteen seventy one,
2:39
Speaker 1: it was like something was off about him. Art and
2:41
Speaker 1: his wife Lisa had planned this pregnancy, and they were
2:44
Speaker 1: ecstatic when their baby boy was welcome to the world,
2:47
Speaker 1: and they showered him with affection and love and did
2:50
Speaker 1: everything they possibly could to give him a warm, loving environment.
2:54
Speaker 1: But no matter what they did, it just seemed like
2:56
Speaker 1: he was always miserable. Their son cried constantly for the
3:01
Speaker 1: first thirteen months of his life. Now, Art and Lisa
3:04
Speaker 1: understood that when you bring a baby home, there's a
3:06
Speaker 1: good chance they're gonna cry, but his crying was so
3:10
Speaker 1: constant and he could not be calmed down that they
3:13
Speaker 1: grew concerned that this was more than just a caligy
3:15
Speaker 1: baby if there could be some underlying issue, And so
3:18
Speaker 1: they brought their son to doctors and specialists and they
3:21
Speaker 1: tried every treatment under the sun.
3:22
Speaker 2: They changed his diet, they changed his room, they sang.
3:25
Speaker 1: The songs, they changed everything they could, but it never stopped.
3:29
Speaker 1: In so thirteen months of grinding, grading notion retil Finally,
3:34
Speaker 1: in the fourteenth month of his life, he seemed to
3:37
Speaker 1: get over the incessant crying stage, and Art and Lisa
3:41
Speaker 1: were so relieved. It seemed like finally they could just
3:45
Speaker 1: be loving parents and not be so frustrated with their
3:47
Speaker 1: child all the time. But it seemed like now that
3:50
Speaker 1: he wasn't crying, he still was just totally unhappy. His
3:53
Speaker 1: body language and everything about him said I'm not happy always.
3:58
Speaker 1: Art said that he never saw his son ever have
4:01
Speaker 1: a genuine, joyous smile. The only time he saw something
4:05
Speaker 1: resembling a smile was when his son would grin after
4:08
Speaker 1: causing someone pain or breaking a rule, or in some
4:12
Speaker 1: way being bad. And then once his son started walking,
4:15
Speaker 1: all he wanted to do was just destroy everything.
4:17
Speaker 2: In front of him.
4:18
Speaker 1: But again Art and Lisa they realized that this is
4:21
Speaker 1: all pretty typical child behavior, albeit maybe on the more
4:25
Speaker 1: extreme end of bad behavior, but it's still in the
4:28
Speaker 1: realm of normal child, and they're thinking that they are
4:32
Speaker 1: the reason this is happening, and so they're not blaming
4:34
Speaker 1: their son at this point. They're still doing everything they
4:37
Speaker 1: can to take care of him and love him to
4:39
Speaker 1: the best of their ability. When their son was about
4:41
Speaker 1: two years old, he learned how to take off his diaper,
4:44
Speaker 1: and he began sneaking around the house and emptying the
4:46
Speaker 1: contents of his diaper into corners of the house, underneath carpets,
4:50
Speaker 1: grinding it into the carpets, smearing it on the walls.
4:53
Speaker 1: But again, Art and Lisa are looking inward and saying,
4:56
Speaker 1: our child is only two years old. It can't be
4:59
Speaker 1: his fault he's acting this way. It's our fault for
5:02
Speaker 1: not finding a way to correct this behavior. But Art
5:05
Speaker 1: and Lisa started to drift away from that opinion when their.
5:08
Speaker 2: Son got a little bit older, got potty.
5:11
Speaker 1: Trained, and wasn't using diapers anymore, and still was going
5:15
Speaker 1: around the house and squatting down and going to the
5:17
Speaker 1: bathroom all over the house, making a mess at every
5:20
Speaker 1: possible chance he could, and not just when he was
5:22
Speaker 1: four or five, six years old. All the way up
5:25
Speaker 1: until he was fifteen years old, he was doing this,
5:28
Speaker 1: and he stopped doing it in random corners, and he
5:30
Speaker 1: began only going into his parents' bedroom every chance he got,
5:35
Speaker 1: opening up the sheets, going inside, going to the bathroom,
5:38
Speaker 1: shutting it back up, and leaving. It got to the
5:40
Speaker 1: point where Art and Lisa literally could not stop their
5:43
Speaker 1: son from doing this. He was absolutely determined to do this,
5:47
Speaker 1: so anytime they were away, he would even sneak in
5:50
Speaker 1: the windows to do this. I mean, he was totally
5:52
Speaker 1: hell bent on going to the bathroom in their bed
5:54
Speaker 1: and so they had to start putting locks on the.
5:56
Speaker 2: Windows and the doors of their bedroom.
5:58
Speaker 1: But when they had finally secure he heard that room
6:00
Speaker 1: to where he really couldn't get in anymore. He began
6:03
Speaker 1: going to the bathroom right outside their door and in
6:06
Speaker 1: the other beds in the house. And so they began
6:09
Speaker 1: investing in locks on all of the doors. They even
6:12
Speaker 1: replaced the doors themselves because they were too flimsy, and
6:15
Speaker 1: they thought this is a good chance he might kick
6:17
Speaker 1: these doors in to try to get them open. So
6:19
Speaker 1: they put these big thit doors up all through their
6:21
Speaker 1: house and put these big locks with key locks all
6:25
Speaker 1: over the house to keep their son from going in
6:28
Speaker 1: and going to the bathroom all over their bed sheets.
6:31
Speaker 1: As their son grew older, he became more and more unmanageable.
6:34
Speaker 1: Well beyond just going to the bathroom in different places,
6:37
Speaker 1: he became violent and e would bite and kick and
6:40
Speaker 1: scratch and spit on anybody that came near him.
6:42
Speaker 2: He was a wild animal.
6:44
Speaker 1: Before he was nine years old, he had been kicked
6:46
Speaker 1: out of school two separate times. When they let him
6:49
Speaker 1: back in a third time, he apparently did something that
6:51
Speaker 1: was so bad that they effectively expelled him. A nine
6:54
Speaker 1: year old is getting expelled from school. So they had
6:56
Speaker 1: to enroll him at this other special school that would
6:59
Speaker 1: have accept him with his history. But part of the
7:02
Speaker 1: deal with this school is you don't have any interaction
7:05
Speaker 1: with other students. He was considered too dangerous to be
7:08
Speaker 1: around other kids, so he was totally isolated at school
7:11
Speaker 1: and it ultimately made him a lot worse. Once he
7:14
Speaker 1: was enrolled in the school, he became really violent at home.
7:17
Speaker 1: He would come home from school and he would go
7:19
Speaker 1: right to the kitchen and get a knife out, and
7:21
Speaker 1: he would start threatening his parents to the point where
7:23
Speaker 1: they had to lock all the drawers in the kitchen.
7:26
Speaker 1: Once all of the knives were under lock and key
7:28
Speaker 1: in Art's house, his son began stealing knives from the
7:32
Speaker 1: neighbor's house, smuggling them back into the house, and at
7:35
Speaker 1: night he would pull them out and try to stab Art,
7:37
Speaker 1: and on two different occasions he was successful, and Art
7:40
Speaker 1: still has scars.
7:41
Speaker 2: On his leg from it.
7:42
Speaker 1: And Art's son was not just attacking his parents, he
7:45
Speaker 1: was also turning on local animals that were helpless.
7:48
Speaker 2: He'd blinded one of the local.
7:49
Speaker 1: Dogs that was running around the area by just stabbing
7:52
Speaker 1: it in the eye. One day, he went after one
7:54
Speaker 1: of the stray cats and he lit its tail on fire,
7:56
Speaker 1: and honestly, Art doesn't even know the other damages he
7:58
Speaker 1: had done to other animals or even other people. Even
8:01
Speaker 1: though Art and Lisa massively resented their son for how
8:05
Speaker 1: badly he treated them and how difficult he was making
8:07
Speaker 1: their lives, they recognized that this was a child that
8:11
Speaker 1: needed help, and so they tried everything they could to
8:14
Speaker 1: help him, by enrolling him in that special school that
8:17
Speaker 1: ultimately was isolating, but it was an attempt to try
8:20
Speaker 1: to help him, or bringing him to different therapists and
8:22
Speaker 1: psychologists and doctors, putting him on different medications and bringing
8:26
Speaker 1: him to meditation consultants, I.
8:27
Speaker 2: Mean, you name it.
8:28
Speaker 1: They tried everything they could to try to help this kid,
8:31
Speaker 1: but nothing worked. He only got angrier and angrier and
8:35
Speaker 1: got bigger and stronger and more aggressive and violent, and
8:38
Speaker 1: eventually Art and Lisa are like, what do we do
8:40
Speaker 1: about this? What ultimately started happening over the following years
8:44
Speaker 1: is Art and Lisa became prisoners of their own home
8:47
Speaker 1: that every time their son was around, they felt unsafe
8:50
Speaker 1: around him. He was such a wild card and he
8:51
Speaker 1: had these crazy, angry outbursts, and he was clearly prone
8:55
Speaker 1: to extreme violence, and so they began using those heavy
8:59
Speaker 1: doors and locks to locked themselves away from their son.
9:02
Speaker 1: It was the only way they felt safe. And so
9:04
Speaker 1: with that in mind, fast forward to nineteen eighty eight,
9:07
Speaker 1: when Art's son is now sixteen years old and Art
9:10
Speaker 1: and Lisa find out they're pregnant again. It was a
9:12
Speaker 1: surprise and they were not happy about it. In fact,
9:15
Speaker 1: because of how badly it had gone with their son,
9:18
Speaker 1: they were really scared that another child was going to
9:21
Speaker 1: be just as bad and they couldn't possibly go through
9:24
Speaker 1: this again, and so they decided that they weren't going
9:26
Speaker 1: to terminate, but if they noticed early on this child
9:30
Speaker 1: was a huge problem child. As horrible as they felt
9:32
Speaker 1: about it, they knew they would give it up for adoption.
9:35
Speaker 1: They simply couldn't do this again. This time they had
9:37
Speaker 1: a daughter, and she was normal. She was nothing like
9:41
Speaker 1: their son. She didn't come home and cry constantly. She
9:44
Speaker 1: smiled and laughed. And after a few months she was
9:47
Speaker 1: sleeping through the night, and she was hitting her milestones,
9:50
Speaker 1: and she just seemed happy and she was easy. And
9:53
Speaker 1: it was around this time that Art and Lisa began
9:56
Speaker 1: to realize just how bad their son was. See how
10:00
Speaker 1: wonderful their daughter was just amplified all of their son's
10:04
Speaker 1: atrocious behavior over the first sixteen years of his life,
10:07
Speaker 1: And so Art and Lisa really began to look at
10:09
Speaker 1: their son as more of a lost cause, and they
10:12
Speaker 1: were less invested in going through the motions to try
10:15
Speaker 1: to find some way to help him when they knew
10:17
Speaker 1: it wasn't gonna work. It had never worked, and he's
10:20
Speaker 1: only a couple of years away from being eighteen, and
10:22
Speaker 1: he can go out on his own and figure it
10:23
Speaker 1: out for himself. And now, since they didn't really care
10:26
Speaker 1: as much about him. Suddenly his behavior was intolerable, and
10:30
Speaker 1: any time he acted up, they would never lay a
10:32
Speaker 1: hand on him, but they were not afraid to tell
10:35
Speaker 1: him to basically, get the f out of here. We
10:38
Speaker 1: are not putting up with this. Leave And so regularly
10:41
Speaker 1: Art and Lisa would have these horrific screaming matches with
10:44
Speaker 1: their son, until their son would basically run away in
10:47
Speaker 1: a rage and then come back hours later or even
10:50
Speaker 1: a couple days later. And Art said he began to
10:52
Speaker 1: look forward to fighting with his son because every time
10:55
Speaker 1: they thought it meant his son would be gone for
10:57
Speaker 1: a little while afterwards and there would be a little
10:59
Speaker 1: bit of peace and calm inside the house. But at
11:02
Speaker 1: the same time, Art and Lisa were concerned, one of
11:05
Speaker 1: these days, he's going to come back in after one
11:07
Speaker 1: of these fights, and he's gonna kill us. So it
11:09
Speaker 1: went on like this for about a year until a
11:11
Speaker 1: rainy day in nineteen eighty nine, when their son was
11:14
Speaker 1: almost eighteen and their daughter was almost one years old. Now,
11:17
Speaker 1: the house they lived in was a single story bungalow,
11:20
Speaker 1: and their daughter's room was against a sidewall where there
11:23
Speaker 1: was a window leading to the outside that morning, Art
11:26
Speaker 1: and Lisa had got into one of the worst screaming
11:29
Speaker 1: matches with their son they'd ever had, and he left
11:31
Speaker 1: in a rage, and they slammed and locked the door
11:34
Speaker 1: behind him. After a couple of hours, their son is
11:36
Speaker 1: still gone and they don't expect to see him anytime soon,
11:39
Speaker 1: and their daughter is starting to get fussy. She seems tired,
11:42
Speaker 1: and so they walk into her bedroom. They put her
11:44
Speaker 1: in her crib for a nap, and then Art and
11:45
Speaker 1: Lisa leave her room, shut the door behind them, and
11:48
Speaker 1: go sit down in the kitchen. A couple minutes later,
11:50
Speaker 1: they hear their daughter screaming at the top of her lungs,
11:53
Speaker 1: and Art and Lisa immediately recognize this is not an
11:56
Speaker 1: ordinary cry. This sounds like something is terribly wrong. They
11:59
Speaker 1: get up and sprint down the hall to a room
12:01
Speaker 1: and they try the door handle, but it's locked. They
12:03
Speaker 1: run back out to the kitchen. They get the keys
12:05
Speaker 1: that go back. They're fumbling with the keys. They finally
12:08
Speaker 1: open it up and there in the back of the room,
12:10
Speaker 1: standing next to the crib is their son, and he's
12:12
Speaker 1: holding a knife and he's poking it into her face.
12:15
Speaker 1: And Art said he looked at his daughter, and he
12:16
Speaker 1: can see blood on her stomach and blood on her arm,
12:19
Speaker 1: and she's screaming, and so he thinks to himself, thank god,
12:22
Speaker 1: she's still alive, and instinctively Art starts running to try
12:25
Speaker 1: to put himself between his son and his daughter, but
12:28
Speaker 1: before he could even get there, his wife had moved
12:30
Speaker 1: much faster, and she charged over and smashes her son's hand.
12:35
Speaker 1: The knife falls to the ground. She pushes him as
12:37
Speaker 1: hard as she possibly can, and he goes slamming into
12:39
Speaker 1: the wall and falls on the ground. Art immediately reaches
12:42
Speaker 1: into the crib, picks his daughter up, and runs to
12:44
Speaker 1: the other side of the room, and he kind of.
12:45
Speaker 2: Looks her over.
12:46
Speaker 1: She's crying, she's in pain, she's scared, but he can
12:49
Speaker 1: see the cuts on her are superficial. He turns back
12:52
Speaker 1: around and he can see his wife is standing there
12:54
Speaker 1: with her fist bald, standing in front of her son.
12:56
Speaker 1: Her son stands up and he's looking at her, no
12:59
Speaker 1: emotion on his face. Art would even say that it
13:02
Speaker 1: was like he was looking at an alien. This person
13:04
Speaker 1: wasn't human. How could they do this to their own sister,
13:06
Speaker 1: to a baby? And he stared at him and then
13:09
Speaker 1: he noticed his wife was moving towards her son like
13:12
Speaker 1: she was going to attack him. And this is where
13:14
Speaker 1: Art says he knew he was supposed to go over
13:17
Speaker 1: there and stop whatever was about to happen, but he didn't.
13:20
Speaker 1: And this is the part of the story where Art
13:22
Speaker 1: reveals his wife she's this amazing boxer, and he knew
13:26
Speaker 1: that she could beat the living crap out of just
13:28
Speaker 1: about anybody. The Sun is so stunned by how quickly
13:31
Speaker 1: this has happened that he's not doing anything. He's not
13:34
Speaker 1: positioning himself to fight back or to even preemptively attack
13:38
Speaker 1: his mother. He's just kind of standing there looking at
13:40
Speaker 1: his mother with no expression on his face. And that's
13:43
Speaker 1: when Art's wife winds up and blasts him across the face,
13:46
Speaker 1: knocking his head back, and Art said immediately he could
13:49
Speaker 1: tell his nose was broken. Blood squirts all over his
13:51
Speaker 1: face and he falls to the ground. Until this moment,
13:54
Speaker 1: neither Lisa nor Art had ever laid a hand on
13:58
Speaker 1: their son, even when he stabbed Art twice in the legs,
14:02
Speaker 1: they never physically struck their son. But this was different.
14:06
Speaker 1: Their son had crossed the line and he could never
14:09
Speaker 1: come back. And so even though Art knew if he
14:11
Speaker 1: doesn't step in, his wife is going to beat their
14:14
Speaker 1: son to death.
14:15
Speaker 2: Even though he knew that was gonna happen, he.
14:17
Speaker 1: Remembers thinking good, he turns around and he leaves the
14:21
Speaker 1: room with his daughter. As Art cleans up his daughter
14:23
Speaker 1: and puts band aids on each of the cuts that
14:25
Speaker 1: were inflicted on her, he hears in the other room
14:28
Speaker 1: his son is yelling and screaming at their mother, saying
14:30
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kill you, and she is just ruthlessly punching, kicking,
14:34
Speaker 1: and smashing him. It is not slowing down at all,
14:37
Speaker 1: and Art remembers by the time he picked his daughter
14:39
Speaker 1: back up after putting all her band aids on, and
14:41
Speaker 1: she'd kind of calmed down, he still heard his wife punching, kicking,
14:46
Speaker 1: and smashing their son, who's now unconscious.
14:49
Speaker 2: Again.
14:50
Speaker 1: Art knows, if I don't go in there now, my
14:52
Speaker 1: unconscious son is getting his head kicked in by his mother.
14:55
Speaker 1: I don't go in there now, He's gonna die for sure.
14:58
Speaker 1: But Art wants that to happen, so he doesn't go
15:00
Speaker 1: in there.
15:01
Speaker 2: Instead, he just.
15:02
Speaker 1: Rocks his daughter until she falls asleep, and by the
15:05
Speaker 1: time she's snoring in his arms. His wife is still punching, kicking,
15:11
Speaker 1: and smashing their son, who hasn't made a sound in
15:14
Speaker 1: a long time. Art just sits down at the kitchen table,
15:17
Speaker 1: hoists his daughter onto his shoulder, and just listens for
15:20
Speaker 1: his wife to finish what she's doing. And finally it
15:22
Speaker 1: does go quiet in there, and his wife emerges from
15:25
Speaker 1: the room and she's covered in blood, her hands are
15:28
Speaker 1: swollen in red, and her chest is heaving like she's
15:30
Speaker 1: been running a race.
15:31
Speaker 2: She comes into the kitchen and sits down at.
15:33
Speaker 1: The table next to Art and looks at him, and
15:35
Speaker 1: he looks back at her, and he just says, is
15:37
Speaker 1: he dead? She says, I hope so, and he just goes, yeah,
15:41
Speaker 1: me too. Art and Lisa sat at the kitchen table
15:43
Speaker 1: for a long time. There was no sound coming from
15:45
Speaker 1: the room where their son was, and eventually Lisa starts
15:48
Speaker 1: crying and goes and takes a shower, at which point
15:51
Speaker 1: Art stands up and he goes into the bedroom where
15:54
Speaker 1: his son was, and this is when he can tell
15:56
Speaker 1: his son is actually still alive. He walks in and
15:58
Speaker 1: he can see his son still, but he's covered in blood.
16:02
Speaker 1: He's got bombed on and he's clearly wet as pants,
16:04
Speaker 1: his teeth had been knocked out, his whole face is
16:06
Speaker 1: bloodied and bruised and swollen, and he goes up to
16:09
Speaker 1: him and he thinks there's no way he's going to
16:11
Speaker 1: live through this. But Art has kind of an internal
16:14
Speaker 1: crisis because he wants him to die.
16:16
Speaker 2: He doesn't want him to live.
16:18
Speaker 1: And so that decision of should I call an ambulance
16:20
Speaker 1: or should I call police was a really difficult one
16:23
Speaker 1: to make because really neither served the purpose that he
16:26
Speaker 1: or his wife wanted. And so as he's standing there
16:28
Speaker 1: wondering what to do, he hears his wife come out
16:30
Speaker 1: of the shower, and so he leaves the room and
16:32
Speaker 1: he confers with his wife, and they decide, we're not
16:35
Speaker 1: gonna call the police.
16:36
Speaker 2: We're not going to call an ambulance. We're gonna do nothing.
16:39
Speaker 1: And so right then and there, they walked around their house.
16:41
Speaker 1: They gathered up a couple things, and they headed downstairs
16:44
Speaker 1: into the basement where they had an in law suit,
16:46
Speaker 1: which basically was a little apartment that they didn't really use,
16:48
Speaker 1: but it had everything they needed. And they moved down
16:51
Speaker 1: there and they locked the one door that led down
16:53
Speaker 1: there and they locked the side door as well. They
16:56
Speaker 1: figured if he lived, there would be enough food to
16:58
Speaker 1: get him through a few weeks. Upstairs. There's water up there, bedrooms, bathrooms,
17:02
Speaker 1: he had all of that, and at some point he
17:04
Speaker 1: would run out of food and he would have to
17:06
Speaker 1: leave or he would die upstairs, and in a couple
17:09
Speaker 1: weeks they would go up and they would deal with it.
17:11
Speaker 1: Over the next week, they began to hear movement upstairs,
17:14
Speaker 1: which signaled to them he was alive, but he wasn't
17:16
Speaker 1: moving around much.
17:17
Speaker 2: It was just enough to know somebody was up there.
17:20
Speaker 1: They figured that, okay, he's probably laying down most of
17:23
Speaker 1: the time recovering, and so Art began going back to work.
17:26
Speaker 1: He would go out the side door, and every time
17:28
Speaker 1: he went outside and he was on the driveway, he
17:30
Speaker 1: was expecting his son to come out and attack him,
17:32
Speaker 1: but he never did. And his wife, Lisa, she stayed
17:36
Speaker 1: with their daughter twenty four seven, stayed in the house
17:39
Speaker 1: and at no point did the Sun ever try to
17:41
Speaker 1: come downstairs and try to attack her or them at
17:44
Speaker 1: any point, probably because he was afraid of his mother.
17:46
Speaker 1: About three weeks after the attack, they were in bed
17:49
Speaker 1: in the basement and they heard him going absolutely ballistic upstairs, screaming,
17:53
Speaker 1: punching walls, breaking things, and they decided, you know what,
17:57
Speaker 1: whatever he does up there, it's not worth going up
17:59
Speaker 1: there and hunting him.
18:00
Speaker 2: Let him do whatever he wants.
18:02
Speaker 1: And then the next day it was totally quiet, and
18:04
Speaker 1: for the next couple of days Art and Lisa would
18:07
Speaker 1: listen really intently to see if they could hear him
18:09
Speaker 1: moving around upstairs, but they couldn't, and so finally Art
18:12
Speaker 1: and Lisa decide to go up into the main floor
18:15
Speaker 1: and see if he's up there. When they opened the door,
18:17
Speaker 1: they find their entire upstairs has been absolutely wrecked. Every
18:21
Speaker 1: piece of furniture is ruined, every window's broken, there's glass
18:24
Speaker 1: all over the place, there's brown smears all over the walls.
18:27
Speaker 1: But their son isn't there, and so they figured that
18:29
Speaker 1: night when they heard him going crazy upstairs, he already
18:32
Speaker 1: knew he was going to leave. He just wanted to
18:33
Speaker 1: ruin their house before he did. Even though their son
18:36
Speaker 1: was gone, they had no idea if he was going
18:37
Speaker 1: to come back or not, and so for days and
18:40
Speaker 1: weeks and months they lived in fear that their son
18:42
Speaker 1: was just going to show up one day and kill them,
18:45
Speaker 1: but he never did. And then three years after the incident,
18:48
Speaker 1: they moved and they weren't in contact with their son.
18:50
Speaker 1: They hadn't seen him, and so he had no idea
18:53
Speaker 1: where they were going and they have no way to
18:54
Speaker 1: contact him.
18:55
Speaker 2: So that was it.
18:55
Speaker 1: They just restarted somewhere else. Fast forward to twenty nineteen
18:59
Speaker 1: when Art is making this Reddit post and he says,
19:01
Speaker 1: I haven't seen my son since nineteen eighty nine, and
19:04
Speaker 1: I don't want to see him again. And Art goes
19:06
Speaker 1: on to say that while he hopes his son was
19:08
Speaker 1: able to overcome his demons and live a normal life,
19:12
Speaker 1: he said, if he wasn't able to do that, if
19:14
Speaker 1: he was out there still causing pain and misery to
19:17
Speaker 1: other people, Art says he hopes that whoever was on
19:20
Speaker 1: the receiving.
19:21
Speaker 2: End of that finished the job and killed him. So
19:24
