  Speaker 2: All right, let's get into today's stories.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: In 2015, 32-year-old Henry McCabe was living just outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: With his wife, Corrine, and their two daughters.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Henry was a Liberian immigrant who worked as an auditor
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Department of Revenue. On September 6th, Henry's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: wife and his two kids head out to California to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: visit with some family.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Leaving Henry alone.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Henry decides, you know what, I don't get a chance
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to go out very much because I'm working all the time,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I got family, and so tonight I'm going to cut loose.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So he calls his two very close friends and they
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: decide to go to a nightclub. They get to the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: nightclub and Henry very quickly starts drinking a lot of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: alcohol And lots of people that were at the club
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: would say he seemed pretty intoxicated.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: The trio would stay at the nightclub till about two
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: in the morning.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And then when they left, Henry, who had driven there
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and met his two friends at the club, was about
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to drive himself home when one of his two friends said,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, you can't be driving. We'll give you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a ride home. So Henry gets in the car with
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: them and they start.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Driving to Henry's house.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But when they're about halfway there, Henry tells them to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: go to a very specific gas station.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: He said he wanted to get food and a drink.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But the gas station he was trying to go to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: was two miles in the opposite direction away from his house.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And his friends are telling him, you know, we can
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: bring you to a closer gas station.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: We can bring you somewhere that's more convenient.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: But Henry was really aggressive and very adamant that that
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: was the gas station he wanted to go to. And
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in fact, I don't even want you to wait for me.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I want you to drop me off. I will get
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: whatever I want and then I'll walk home. And his
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: friends put up a bit of a fight, but ultimately
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they relented and they drove him to this gas station again.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: They dropped him off, they watched him go inside, and
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: they turned around and they left. At 2.28 in the morning,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Henry's wife, Corrine, looked at her phone and she saw
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: she had a missed call and a voicemail from Henry.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: She opens it up and she listens to it and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: she's horrified at what she hears. On the voicemail, Henry
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: sounds incredibly distressed. He's yelling that he's been shot and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it sounds like he's in pain.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And then in the.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Background, you hear this really intense growling sound. It's pretty
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: easy to distinguish. And then Henry starts screaming about whatever
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is growling at him. And then Henry yells out, stop it,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: before the phone cuts out. The full two-minute voicemail has
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: never been released by police. This is what was made
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: publicly available. Right after Corrine listens to this voicemail, she
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: tries calling Henry. And it goes straight to voicemail. So
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: she tries calling Henry's brother. She can't get in touch
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: with him, so she calls the police. So the police
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: go out looking for Henry.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: They go to his house.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: He's not there. And then they track down the two
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: friends he was with. who immediately tell them, hey, we
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: dropped him off at this gas station. We know it's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit strange that he wanted to go here,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: but he was insistent, and so that's where we dropped
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: him off. So the police look around the gas station,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: they talk to the attendant, they talk to some people
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that were there, and no one knows where Henry is.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: So at this point, the police pull Henry's phone records,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and they can see he placed a call to his
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: wife at about 2.23 in the morning, but they can't
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: determine where he was when he placed this call. The
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: assumption is he was at the gas station. Then, just
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a few minutes later, he places another call to his brother,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: And his brother would report to police that all Henry.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Was doing on the call was just sobbing.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And again, with that phone call, the police were not
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: able to pinpoint where Henry was when he made the call.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And following that call to his brother, he turned his
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: phone off. Several hours later, his phone would turn back
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: on and it would ping about four miles away from
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this gas station. And then his phone would turn off again.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And the police are thinking, you know what, it's a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: grown man. He went out drinking with his friends. He's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: bound to sober up and turn up at some point.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Let's just wait this one out. But Henry didn't turn up,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and days turned into weeks, turned into months, and no
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: one's heard from Henry. No one has any idea where
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he is. On November 2nd, so two months after Henry
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: goes missing, his body is found in a lake up
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: near the area where his cell phone had last pinged.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: This area is a very difficult area to access. There's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: no public access to this lake. And the lake sits
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: in a very heavily forested area. Even though Henry had
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: told his wife on the voicemail that he had been
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: shot and it sounds like he's being attacked on the.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Voicemail, there were no injuries to his body.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And so even though the case was bizarre to everybody involved,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: they ruled it an accidental drowning. Some say he took
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: his own life because he had recently bounced a check
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: for his rent and he had a bad performance review
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: at work. Others say he was just intoxicated and stumbled
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: into the lake and drowned. But neither of those explanations
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: account for the very obvious growling and strange sounds that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: we heard on his voicemail. And so to this day,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Henry McCabe's death remains a mystery. 911 dispatchers hear a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: lot of interesting stories coming from the other end of
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the phone. But one group of dispatchers out of Reno,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Nevada may win the award for the creepiest 911 calls
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: ever received. When the details of these calls they got
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: were put online, the internet went crazy. Here is their story.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: There was this old couple that lived about 20 miles
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: east of Reno, Nevada. In 2010, the husband dies, leaving
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the wife all alone in this house. Shortly after his passing,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: she began calling 911 two, three times a week, requesting
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: things like, can you please put some water on to boil?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, can you change the thermostat?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: It was clear she was showing signs of dementia. and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the dispatchers were respectful of her and gently told her
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that this is 911, you can only call if it's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: an emergency, and at some point the woman would understand
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: her mistake and she would say sorry and she would
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: hang up.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: No first responders were ever sent out.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: For these calls because it didn't seem like an emergency,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it just seemed like a confused elderly person. But no
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: matter how many times they told her, she kept calling back,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and eventually her calls took a turn. Instead of calling
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: 911 to ask for help with mundane tasks around the house,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: She would call 911 believing she was talking directly to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: her deceased husband, John.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: The dispatcher would pick up and the woman would say, John,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: where are you? John, John.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: By this time, the dispatchers had gotten so many calls
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: from this woman, they would recognize her address coming through
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and they knew what to expect. They would answer the phone,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: they'd be respectful, and they would tell her like they
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: always did, this is 911, you can't call here, you
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: need to talk to your family. And again, they did
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: not send a responding unit out to her because it
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: just seemed like she was confused.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Not in any danger. But one day when she called,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: she sounded frantic and scared. John, please come home. Help me.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: I need help.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: John, come home.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: This time, they would send first responders out to the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: woman's house. When the responding unit arrives at her house,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: just minutes after she had placed the 911 call, they
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: go to the door and they're knocking and they're yelling
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: for her and she's not coming to the door and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it's all quiet in the house.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: The door's unlocked, so they open it up and they
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: announce themselves.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: They walk inside and immediately they can tell the heat
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: is not on because it's very, very cold inside the house.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: They look around the first floor and they can't find
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: her and there's no sign of a struggle or any
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: obvious problems that could have happened inside of the house.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So they go upstairs and they start searching all the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: rooms and no one's there until they get to the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: last room and it's the bedroom. They go inside and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: there's an older woman who's lying on the bed and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: she's clearly deceased. And has been for several hours because
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: rigor mortis had already set in.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: The police are able to confirm.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: That the woman who's lying on the bed is the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: same woman who owns the house and lives there. And
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: at this point, they call back to dispatch and they
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: tell them, hey, you know, the woman that you claim
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: made this 911 call, well, it can't have been her.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Because based on rigor mortis, she was dead at the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: time that 911 call was made. But the dispatchers are like,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: no way. We know what she sounds like. We speak
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to her multiple times a week. We have a whole
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: protocol built when we see her address come across because
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: we speak to her so often. That 911 call that
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you got that led you to that house where she was,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: that call was made by her. What they ultimately decide
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: is the reason for this discrepancy is she didn't have
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: rigor mortis. She was just stiff because it was really
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: cold inside of her house and that she had died
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: in those couple of minutes between leaving the 911 call
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and when officers arrived.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: But in the back of everybody's minds, they're a little
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: freaked out.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: A few days go by and another call is placed
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to 911 coming from that woman's home address. The dispatcher
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: sees that and has to do a double take. Like,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that's not possible. But they're thinking, okay, this could be
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a relative, it could be a friend, it could be anything.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Picks up the phone and she's shocked when it's the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: same woman who is frantically yelling for John to come here,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: save me, help me, I need help. And the dispatcher,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: who's well aware of the history and well aware that
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: this woman's supposed to be dead... stays calm, goes through
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the procedure, tries to get more information from this woman,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: but the call ends abruptly and there's no more information
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to be had. And so not knowing what else to do,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: she asks a responding unit to go check this house out.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: The responding unit goes over to the property. They knock
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: on the door. No one's inside. The door is actually
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: still open.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: They go in.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: The house is empty. There's no one there. There's no
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: one that could have made that call. At this point,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: dispatch is like, okay, this has got to be a prank.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: But the next day, same thing happens. Here comes a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: call from the dead woman's house. They pick it up
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and it's this distraught woman yelling for help. I need
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: my husband. And the dispatcher is trying to get more information,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: but they can't. And then the line cuts out. Once again,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: they have to send responders to this location because this
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: woman has called 911 and is saying that she needs help.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And once again, the officers get to the house and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it's vacant. Just like when she was alive, these calls
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: would persist multiple times a week. They continued even after
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: her house was broken into and burned to the ground.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: There's not even a house anymore. And there are still
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: calls coming through from that address to 911. Finally, the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: police get in touch with the phone company and they
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: explain the situation. And the phone company looks at their
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: records and they say, actually, her phone line was disconnected
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: almost immediately after she was deceased. But they tell police
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: there's a chance that it might not have been disconnected
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: properly at the site. And that could be a reason
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: why it's still working. So they send a lineman to
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: go check out the actual property to confirm her lines
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: were disconnected properly and that no wires were getting crossed.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And he said all of it checked out. Everything has
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: been detached this whole time. The phone company thought perhaps
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: there was a digital recording of her that got trapped
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: in their system and was randomly bouncing to their call center.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: But the dispatchers would say, you know, it doesn't sound
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: like a recording that's playing the same every single time.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: It's always the same message. She's yelling for her husband
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to come save her. But the way she sounds is
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: always different. It's a unique phone call every single time.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So because there wasn't a definitive explanation for why this was.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Happening, they had to treat each call like it was serious.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And so multiple times a week for a year, they
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: received these ghost calls and had to send out responding
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: officers to check on her. Even though the house was
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: gone and there was nothing there and there was never
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: anyone there. It was just a vacant lot. And then finally,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a year after this woman has died, the calls just
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: abruptly stopped. And the police did not launch an investigation
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: into what it was because the reality is police need
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to prioritize things that are threats to people or places.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: And this really wasn't either of those things. It was
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: just really bizarre.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: And so the official explanation for how a dead woman
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: could be calling 911 from a non-existent phone line in
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a non-existent house.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: For a year is, we don't know.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: The following stories all take place in the Twin Cities
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota. On New Year's Eve 1980, 20-year-old Karen Potak
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: was out at a bar with her friends celebrating And
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: at some point in the night, she slipped out because
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: she didn't want to stay any later, and she began
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: walking home.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Now, she didn't have a.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Jacket on, and it was very cold outside, and she's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: kind of stumbling through the streets. And a man sees
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: her and pulls over and offers to give her a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: ride home.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: She's kind of intoxicated, and so she agrees to get
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: in his car, and they drive off.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: A couple hours later, around 3 a.m., the police receive
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: this phone call. Yes, please, this is an emergency.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Please send a squad car to Pierce Butler Road, Malmberg
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Manufacturing Company Machine Shop.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Please send an ambulance, too.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: There's a girl hurt there. Can you tell me what
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: happened to her? Just hurry.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: She's laying on the ground in the back by the
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: railroad tracks by.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: The engine room.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Hurry. What's the address?
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Who are you?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Using this information from the caller, the police arrive in
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the back of that building and they.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Find Karen Potak.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: She had been repeatedly bludgeoned over the head with a
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: tire iron and then left for dead. Miraculously, she would survive,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: but because of her head injury, she forgot almost everything
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: about that night, including the description of the guy who
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: picked her up and who probably attacked her and who
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: probably was the one who called police.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: So the police try to interview some people in.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: The area around where she was found, but it was
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a really deserted area and and no one knew anything,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and there was no physical evidence left at the scene,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: so the case went cold.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Then, five months later, the police receive another phone call.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Hello?
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Are you there?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: At this point, the police were not connecting this call
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: with the call that immediately preceded finding Karen Potak, meaning
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: they did not think that was the same person. And
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: since in this call there were no instructions on where
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to find this person, they didn't really have anything to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: go on, so they took.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Note of it, but ultimately kind of disregarded it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: But just a few hours later, a group of teenagers
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: were walking through the forest when they.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Found the dead body.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: The body belonged to 18-year-old Kimberly Compton, who had literally
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: just moved to Minnesota. She graduated high school and decided
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: she wanted to start fresh in Minnesota. She hopped on
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a bus. She goes to Minnesota. She gets off the bus.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: She goes into the first restaurant she sees, which is
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: a diner. She sits down by herself. She's eating some food.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And a man approaches her and says, hey, can I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: sit down with you? So she lets him sit.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Down and he asks, you know, who are you?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: What are you doing here? And she says, oh, you know,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I just moved here. And this guy offers to drive
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: her around town and show her the sights.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: And she's like, great.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: 15 minutes later, he would kill her with an ice pick.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: At this point, police are beginning to suspect that this
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: person who keeps calling them immediately before they're finding women
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that have been attacked might be the same person. And
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: two days after Compton was killed, they get another call
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that confirms this.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Don't talk, just listen. I'm sorry what I did to Compton.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I couldn't help it. Don't know why I had to
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: stab her. I'm so upset about it. I keep getting
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: drunk every night. I can't believe I did it. It's
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: like a big dream. I can't think of being locked up.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: If I get locked up, I'll kill myself. I'd rather
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: kill myself than get locked up. I'll try not to
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: kill anybody else.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: From this point forward, they referred to this caller as
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the weepy-voiced killer, and even though they had his voice recorded,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: they didn't have any physical evidence, because he didn't leave
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: any at the scene.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: With Compton either, so they didn't have much to go on.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: The police would go to the diner, and they would
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: talk to the staff that was there, and they would
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: give a general description of the weepy-voiced killer, but It
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: wasn't enough to pinpoint a suspect, so once again, this
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: case went cold too.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Six months later, the police received yet another call.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Please don't talk, just listen.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry I killed that girl. I stabbed her 40 times.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Kimberly Compton was the first one over in St. Paul.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's the matter with me.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: I'm sick.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to kill myself. I think.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Where are you?
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: If somebody dies with a red shirt on, it's me.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I've killed more people. I will never make it to heaven.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Calm down.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Calm down.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: A day later, they find the body of 40-year-old Barbara
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Simons floating in the Mississippi River, tucked up against some brush.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: The night before, Barbara had been out at a bar
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and she'd offered a cigarette to a man she hadn't
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: met before. They began flirting and kind of hit it off.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And at one point, they were going to leave together.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And before they left, Barbara turns to one of the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: waitresses and kind of jokingly says, boy, I hope he's
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: nice because I'm leaving with him. And the waitress, for
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, had a really bad feeling about it and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: made a point of getting.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: A really good look at the man she was leaving with.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And that man, of course, would turn out to be
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the Weepy Boys' killer. And as soon as he and
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Barbara left the bar, he would stab her to death
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and throw her in the Mississippi River. After the police
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: began investigating this, they came to the bar and they
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: interviewed that waitress. And she said, I got a really
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: good look at this guy. And so the police show
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: her 100 different mugshots of previously convicted felons in the area.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and she immediately identifies 38-year-old Paul Stefani and says, that's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the guy. Paul had been convicted for aggravated assault, and
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: he also had a history of mental illness. Paul is
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: immediately put under surveillance, but within 24 hours, he manages
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: to ditch his tail and goes straight into downtown Minneapolis,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: where he picks up 19-year-old street worker Denise Williams. Paul
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: took her down a dark alleyway, and she kind of
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: sensed something was wrong, and so she grabbed a glass
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: bottle that was sitting on the floor of the car.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: And when he went to attack her, she managed to
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: hit him in the head and cut his face really,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: really badly. And she managed to protect herself enough that
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: she could get out of the car and run away
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and save her own life. And a neighbor saw her
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: running out of the car and kind of saw the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: whole exchange, didn't like how it looked, so they called 911.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: When police showed up, Paul was long gone. That same night,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: police get another call from the weepy voice killer. This
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: one's a little bit different. He's actually asking for help
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: for himself.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Now by the time this call is being made, the
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: audio recordings of his previous phone calls.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Had been made public. They were aired on radio shows,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: on TV, people had heard his voice, and it's fairly distinctive.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And the dispatcher recognized his voice and told police, there's
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: a chance the weepy voice killer just called us.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: So an ambulance comes.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And picks up Paul Stefani and brings him to the hospital,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and when he's sitting in his hospital bed, police walk
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: in and they apprehend him. He pled not guilty, and
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: prosecutors did not actually have that much evidence connecting him
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to each of these attacks. They had these audio recordings,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: but that was about it. And so ultimately, he got
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: 58 years in prison, not a life sentence. But considering
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: his age, it wound up functioning like a life sentence.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: 12 years into that sentence, he was diagnosed with terminal
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: cancer and was told he only had a year to live.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: And so it was at this point that he confessed
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: to all of the attacks, including one they didn't know about.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: He murdered 33-year-old Kathleen Greening in her own home. He
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: just didn't make a phone call to police afterwards. Paul
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: would die shortly after his confessions. So that's going to
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: do it, guys. Let me know in the comments what
• 19:24
