A highlight from S2 Ep42: Someone Else's Memory
"And remembers information, or something remembered from the past, a recollection. But the OED doesn't weigh in on the factual accuracy of those recollections. Nor does it mention how or where memories are stored. Our current understanding is that they form in our stored in our brains. Our brains, after all, are the motherboards of our bodies, but what if memories could also live somewhere else within us? Welcome to strange and unexplained with me, daisy Egan. I'm a writer and an actor who can not remember what I ate for breakfast, but remembers all the words to the mister Ed theme song and word for word what Sally chihuahuas said to me in the fourth grade that made me cry. And if you're listening, Sally? No. You are the one with soup breath. This week, we're gonna put some tape on the bridges of our glasses and get out our pocket protectors and nerd out over memories. Not so much the content of memories but rather where the memories live in our bodies. How is it that some people who have received organ transplants will swear their new organ came with memories of its former life with its former owner, even though we know that's impossible. Or do we? We used to know that our veins were filled with air. We used to know the sun revolved around the earth. We used to know James Bond could never be a blond. But just as sure as Daniel Craig's veins ran with blood as he dominated the James Bond franchise while the earth spun around the sun, there are always things we're discovering about our wider world and our inner one. So let's dive in to cellular memory

"Or the car. Steps out from the hotel. Okay. And is this one of those motor ins where the doors face the outside like you see the motels? No, you can go in. There's like a lobby you go in. It's kind of lodge. I don't know if you're Lincoln chronological setup. It's a piece of shit hotel, but you gotta walk in to go to your rooms. So he walks out, he's getting in the car, I'm not gonna do anything by myself. I'm not that crazy. So I let him know in the film, hey, guys walking out right now, I snap a photo of him and send it up so they can just verify the tag and him and everything. Let the guy go. When this POS comes out, is he looking actively looking for surveillance as he looking around? Do you get any indication that he thinks he's hinky at all about what's happening? No, I didn't get any I didn't notice him looking around too much. He was pretty much blind to the car. So I let him roll, I let him leave the parking lot. I wasn't concerned about it because he didn't have any luggage in his hand. So I knew he wasn't leaving for good. They were going to come back at some point. Did you have any indication at that point how long he had been there? Was it just recent or had he been there for a while? I didn't know yet. I found out I found out that night that he had been there, I think it was for like a few days or something. So I leave, I head on back to my house. And I call the guys that I work with, I call, like I said, there's four of us. One guy is not available because he's on another he's doing like an extradition assignment. So he's not around. So it's two other guys. So I call them. I'm like, man, I don't like, I don't like having this guy, we know where this guy's at. He's wanted for attempted homicide. And we're going to wait till the morning to get him. When right now he's out driving around in some patrol car, could stop this guy. Not knowing what they're dealing with and something bad happens. Or he goes back to the hotel room, and he decides, you know what, we're leaving. He packs up the mill and he's out of there, you know? I feel like our job is to catch violent fugitive. Right now, we know where this guy's at. I don't care if it's at night, 'cause we do stuff at night all the time. Like, we should just pop you up and go get this dude, you know? So I could hit my two other guys agree with me. We call it supervisor back. He agrees, calls Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania. Yeah, if you guys want to do it tonight, that's fine. So we start getting we start notifying the other guys on the task force to come in, so there's probably a total of probably like ten guys that are responding to this hotel. And how far away is reading Pennsylvania from this hotel? It's probably like four hours. Four hours or something like that. Okay, so even if they'd want to come, I mean, Pennsylvania state police I could have said, but I mean, for them, it still would have been quite a haul to get down there before you guys were all. We were going to take the guy in custody and then taken back to the aesthete fugitive warrant and put him on lockdown until they got the extradition squared away. Even if he had waited for Pennsylvania, would there have been any value? Could they have really participated in the operation being out of state like that unless they were a member of a fugitive task force federally sworn? Could they have participated? They could because they were on the Marshall's task. They were Marshall's task force guys either running office. Got it. Okay. So yeah, they could. So we all agree that let's do it tonight. All right. So I head on back out there. Take up the same spot I had before because I don't want to look different, you know what I mean? How are you dressed? I'm wearing sneakers. I'm wearing blue jeans and a shirt, just like just like a pullover fleece shirt and I got my tack vest on says police U.S. marshal and all that gear. Oh my gear. So if your man bun on? No, I didn't have my hair wasn't that long but man money was just fucking with my ears. I have no respect for getting arrested by somebody with a man bun. That's right. But tell us that the reason I ask about this, this is going to be important later, but tell us about the vest you're talking about too, because it's soft body armor, but did you also have a rifle plate? Yeah, so I had like a throw over body armor with a hard, way hard plates in it. And then like you would see for people listening to you would see in the movies, you know, like I throw it over a tactical vest. It was like my magazines and radio and all that kind of stuff. And the reason I say that too, there's no doubt when you look at this, you're well identified. Well identified, yeah. Yeah. Police placard on the front on the back, you know, all that jazz. So we head back out, I stood up surveillance, my two partners show up, set up surveillance with me. So there's three of us now. And who were the other two? One partner, Josh, another guy named George there with, they were tasked with officers with me there from a different agencies. But they were all signed together with this task force. So we're all set up. Target vehicle comes back in the parking lot. And he does a lap around the building, obviously doing some sort of counter surveillance. And how long of a time from the time you set up till the time he returned, how long were you guys doing surveillance? I want to say it was like a half hour maybe. Yeah, because and that's short compared to sometimes. I mean, sometimes when you're doing surveillance, you might wait hours. Hours. I mean, we've had days where we just sat there for days doing surveillance. What time of day was this? Approximately. At the time, this happened when the shooting happened was 7 45. At night p.m., yes. And it was December so it was dark. It was dark. So it's December, you know, obviously this time of year, it's got to be dark at 7 30, 8 o'clock at night, right? How dark was it? It was pitch black. There was some lighting in the parking lot. Not heavy lighting, but there is some lighting because you have the hotel is right there and then just kind of adjacent to it is a cracker barrel restaurant. So there's some lighting in the parking lot, which that's important as well too, because now what you're talking about is you've got people coming and going all the time, right? Next to cracker barrels, a lot of time you'll find hotels or other stuff. So you get a lot of cars, a lot of people out there, which you got to factor into your takedown. Right. Right, correct. This might in particular, it wasn't what's happening. It was pretty empty parking lot. I mean, the business they were open, but there wasn't much going on in there. It was pretty empty. So as far as a lot of people being out and about, we didn't have that. Which came into decision making. So yeah, he comes in, the parking lot does a

But in the meantime, Murph, it's time. Speaking of time, guess what time it is. It's time for a small town all these blocks. Hey, I decided I would pick on lower Alabama today. Alabama, the state of Alabama. We're filming in Alabama today. We're going to LA on LA, lower Alabama. You ready? All right. I'm ready. All right. Jeremy branch, Steve, a 40 year old from chickasaw, Alabama was out on bond after being charged with a January armed robbery of the singing river credit union in moss point. Moss point, population 12,147. Then in March he reportedly robbed the navigator credit union on highway 6 14 and the Hurley community now. At the time of the march robbery in Hurley, however, no one was able to identify him because he was wearing a hat. This goes back to our advice you gave him on our game of crimes episode we just did for you can't make this shit up. Hoodie and face covering, so although he was being facing charges from the January robbery, it appeared he would get away with the navigator robbery until Thursday. When branch clearly, a criminal mastermind apparently decided since he got away with robbing the Hurley credit union once, he could do it again. However, this time, as in the march robbery, he was wearing a face covering when he walked into the navigator credit union, but this time the neighboring business owners recognized the white pickup truck. He was driving in dialed 9-1-1. Here's the great thing, Murph. He was still on the scene when deputies arrived, he was searched and a note was found in his pocket, which claimed he had a weapon, a similar note was also used in the march robbery, so now he's charged with that crime as well, a note was also used in the January robbery, which he was again charged. So if you're keeping score in the course of one day branch, went from being charged with one bank robbery in January to now three bank robberies. He's zero and three. You know, it's not like that movie home alone where those two criminals would always leave the water running and they want to be known as the wet bandits. The wet bandits. He don't want to establish a repetitive pattern like that. Now you don't. But here's a repetitive pattern. We have stupid criminals. That's why it's called small town police water. Start with 64 year old Robert Wesley Richardson of warrior Alabama population 3234. That dude was subdued nude. As he's streaked, wandered really toward Jefferson county sheriff's deputies. This dude reportedly roughed up his wife and grandkids, then pointed a gun at deputies before he finally emerged he came forth wearing only his glasses. And wielding a cup of coffee. Cops at first saw his good his surrender his good news until I could just see our guys saying get him. No, you get him chief deputy, Randy Christian said. They had to tase them in the end. Well, not exactly in the. In the end, they had to tase him. And as Christian said, they had to take careful aim. Oh, that's funny. Turn around. Gonna shoot you in the ass, boy. Come here, you dumbass we gonna dumb ass. You wanna find out why dumbass is so good, you gotta listen to you can't make this shit up. Shameless blood for Patreon dot com slash game of crimes. Now there you go. On Tuesday, a woman and Morris Alabama population 2254. Luke. She's not destined to be aw she's destined to be a career criminal just not a criminal mastermind. She broke at
Sword and Scale
A highlight from Episode 236
"For better or worse, our beliefs have a tendency to drive some of our behavior. And can often explain why we do certain things. In many cases, this correlation between belief and behavior is pretty harmless. After all, so what? If you picked up that supposed lucky penny, you found on the ground. And so what, if you threw it in a wishing well, and made a wish. It was at hurting. Unfortunately, not all superstitious and faith based beliefs lend themselves to innocuous or trivial behavior. Some beliefs, especially when they are extreme, can be pretty dangerous. An extreme belief might lead a person to refuse lifesaving medical treatment or deny their children that same treatment. A strongly held belief might cause someone to develop a deep hatred for another person. Or even a group of people. I'm assuming you have Twitter. Follow me, by the way. At sword and scale. A hardened and unquestioned belief can even provide someone with a justification. They're looking for. To commit murder. In 2018, 15 year old Kyle Bancroft was living with his mother and younger brother at their home in the tropical Balan isles community. A private club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. In the early morning hours of March 12th, Kyle was fast asleep in his bed when he awoke. To the sound of someone yelling. Right when I woke up, I got out of my room. But I heard screaming. I'm not screaming, but yelling. What kind of yelling? Yelling from the police officers. But I don't know like a PA system or something like that? No, no, from like they were in our House. So there was like ten of them. After these loud police commands echoed throughout his home, Kyle pulled himself out of bed to see what all the commotion was about. And when he stepped out of his bedroom, he unexpectedly came upon a chaotic, and bloody scene. I just stayed in my bed for a minute, and then I went out. I went to the lot, and I saw my brother on the floor and I saw a bunch of plug marks of blood around it and I was like, what the heck? And then I look over and I see a bunch of police officers and they tell me from my end in the air, then they put me on the ground and cut them. So you went downstairs, they said, come here with your hands up. And then the latter handcuffed me put me on the floor that. Kyle told police that he found his younger brother 13 year old Dane Bancroft. Lying on the floor, covered in blood. Kyle could barely process what he was seeing before, heavily armed police officers through Kyle to the ground, and handcuffed him. And where was his blood coming from? What was his injuries? I didn't see I only had like a quick Lance kind of a so if you were to guess was it from his hand with his leg what was bleeding on him? That's your shirt. I thought it was just like I'm not sure, but it's a bunch of blood. What was he doing was he was laying there? Was he like, he was just laying there. Face up, face down. Not moving. But as if he looked like he was sleeping with him. And below it all over the floor and all over him. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what was going on. I was so confused. Okay, so you didn't hear anything or saw anything prior to that. You woke up into the loft and there was somebody on the floor. My brother, okay. The last thing you saw was he was on the floor and there was blood marks all over the place. Where were the other kids? I didn't know where anyone else was. I just saw my brother and then. There was, of course, a reason that police were inside Kyle's home. Earlier, that same morning, Kyle's neighbors had placed a frantic and frustrated call to 9-1-1. Palm Beach gardens battling islands. Jenny, please turn. The lady bleeding here ring my bell. All right, do you know why she's bleeding? So you said somebody attacked her, but you got to get somebody a quick, I call it. But then I hear you. Okay, I'm going to get help started that way, but I need to know if there's any weapons or anything. She doesn't have any weapons. She said there's a killer outside. I don't know what she's talking about. She's delirious. He had a knife. He had a knife. How long ago did this happen? How long ago has happened? A few minutes ago, she's bleeding like crazy here. You got to send someone away. I'm already starting to help. I need to know what the person with the knife is. I don't know where he is. I'm gonna need more information from that female. Can I talk to her? No, she's hysterical. Before the 15 year old Kyle found his blood covered brother Dane lying on the floor, and before the police took Kyle into custody, Kyle's mom had staggered to their neighbor's house. She was covered in blood. Bleeding profusely. And explain to her neighbor that a knife wielding killer had attacked her and her son. Even worse, she also explained that both of her sons were still inside the house with the attacker. Though, it just sends somebody. Can I get a description or anything of the person that had a knife? Oh, she's dying over here. There's a murderer here. You got to get somebody here. You're not being helpful to it. I need to get information for their assistance in helping you, okay? And the people that are there to kill her is he going to run our side lady bleeding on the floor here and you want to description. And get some help here. She made my belly bleeding. He's a murderer. That's all I know. These questions are asking me ridiculously. I'm trying to get the information. Hello? I love this guy. These questions you're asking me are ridiculous. What the caller was probably unaware of is something that I'm sure most SNS listeners like yourself already know. The reason dispatch asks all these questions is of course for the safety of the officers arriving at the scene. I mean, the hell with the person that's bleeding on the ground. Cops don't want to get hurt. After the police and an ambulance arrived on the scene, Kyle's mom was rushed to a hospital. While lying in her hospital bed, she was able to shed some light on what had happened. Kyle's mom told police that her two teenage sons had invited friends over for a sleepover. The night before, and after everyone went to bed, she awoke to the sounds of someone moaning in pain. Really loud. He was coming from the wall of stairs. So what do you guys think? How do you guys help? Why are you making so much noise? Stop, I'm trying to sleep. One stop. So what else to see what the matter was? I started going up the stairs. I want to stop. I keep going upstairs and what's going on here. He jumped down the literally, like he's this big kid. And he just went down the stairs real fast with a knife in his hand and started knifing me. What kind of a knife? I couldn't see the make out in life. Is it going to look like a kitchen knife or a pocket knife or you don't know? I don't know. He was
Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan
A highlight from S2 Ep41: The Lincoln Ghost Train
"Gut, heavy, and sad. Grief is extremely personal and can make us act in ways unforeseen. The experience is almost impossible to explain because there is no road map. So what happens when an entire nation experiences a loss? What forms can that grief take? And as it travels along through a country's space, time and conscience, where does grief arrive? Or does it never stop traveling? Doomed to live on as a phantom, haunting a greater union. Welcome to strange and unexplained with me, daisy Egan. I'm a writer and an actor who has experienced their own share of loss. Last week marked 30 years since my mother died. I was 13 when it happened. I still live with that grief. It's a part of me. It helped define who I am. And my relationship with my mother, despite her absence, continues to change. In 1865, the nation suffered a collective loss when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. The powers that were at the time decided to give the people an official outlet for their grief with a small tour of part of the country featuring their dead president. It was a strange idea that got a multitude of reactions out of a nation without its leader who, though flawed in many ways, changed things for the better. I'm talking about the Lincoln ghost train, which would serve as a public display of grief and all of its strange and unexplained forms. Strangers before we dive in, I want to invite you to a live show. Strange and unexplained is going on tour. That's right, if you're in New York, Boston, or D.C., please come out and see strange and unexplained live. We're going to be covering the fascinating story of Alcatraz and the three men who basically arts and crafted their way out of there. And unlike your weekly podcast, the live show comes with a visual component. Plus, I'm gonna be there IRL. Come give me hugs, high 5s, and take pictures. Also, if we sell out, I will be bringing my Tony Award, but we gotta sell out, go to strange and unexplained pod dot com for show dates. Tickets and information.
Killer Role
A highlight from BONUS: The Girl in the Blue Mustang
"Hello, I'm Keith Morrison from Dateline NBC. Here's a special preview of our new podcast. The girl in the blue Mustang. It was a pitch black night in the high desert. Antelope valley up the Grapevine highway knows of LA. It was late February. The year was 2000. Sheriff's deputy Billy Cox stepped out of his patrol car and braced himself against a cold wind howling down from the San Gabriel mountains. Windshield was in the low 30s. Rain coming in. Hard to believe in just a few weeks of sea of blood red poppies would begin to bloom in the surrounding Mojave desert. Cox was responding to a call of shots fired at the park and ride off exit 5 on highway 14 in Palmdale. It was 9 49 p.m.. The lot had about emptied out by the time he arrived, daily commuters home safe in their beds. And then, there he was, the caller. Security guard by the look of it, waving at him about a hundred yards away. Cox drove over there and rolled down his window. The guard seemed agitated. Told him somebody had been shot, looked bad. Over there, he pointed. Over in the West End of the lot. So then Cox cruise slowly through the darkened lot, and there it was. Something very wrong around that bright blue Mustang. All a skew between the long rows of parking spaces, Cox, slowly eased out of his squad car and approached. The driver's side door was open. The window rolled down about four inches. A woman's left leg and barefoot were hanging out of the door. Weird angle. Dead still. The engine was running. Keys in the ignition. Headlights on. But she was dead. No doubt about that. Barely more than a kid by the look of her. Cox reached into the car, fished out what must have been her purse. Inside was a California driver's license. She was young, all right. 18 years old. Her name was Michelle O'Keefe. Cox followed procedure, called ripa paramedics, though. She was long past saving. Also, additional deputies. But it didn't take long to realize this was going to go way above his pay grade. LA county homicide detective Richard longshore was sound asleep and two counties away when he got the call. You're waking up the null the night, you're rolling out, you're thinking for the men of the phone rings as to what kind of scene is going to be. Actually you look forward to it. That's the adrenaline rush. It's a new case. Longshore was opposed pro. 18 years at LA county homicide, so sure his adrenaline surged in that old familiar way as he roared up the four O 5. But what did he know? It wasn't going to be adrenaline that would crack this one. It takes a lot of confidence, certain IV go to work these cases. There are cases that you will take home with you at night. And that will last for the end of your life. This is a story about a family about a mother's premonition. I don't know if it was her spirit that just came over me or something, just felt like she was gone. It's a story about circumstantial evidence as tricky to read as a mirage on the high desert. It's about accounts that might be found and might be fiction. It seemed to shift like sand in a desert wind. It is funny how people react to different situations when it's trauma involved. You and I can look at the same thing and you can see something totally different than what I see. Why was an innocent young woman shot to death in a guarded suburban parking lot? What happened to Michelle O'Keefe in her final moments? And who did it? In the hard world where spirits do not roam. There would be no preparing for the wild gyrations to come. Things that were as true as can be and then maybe not true at all. And then something else altogether. Thank you for listening. Search for the girl in the

A highlight from NEW SHOW: The Deck Investigates
"Hi everyone, Ashley flowers here from crime junkie and Apple podcast top new show the deck. We actually came across a case while working on the deck that we immediately knew we had to investigate ourselves and what we uncovered we'll have you on the edge of your seat. This is a case that has never been covered in depth anywhere before, but you'll wonder why, because we were able to go so deep and uncover so many twists and turns so many, in fact, that I couldn't fit it into just one or two episodes. So I am bringing you our yearlong investigation into what happened to darlene holes in a new way as a new show. The deck investigates. You can binge all 15 episodes of this series right now wherever you listen to podcasts. Here's the trailer so you can get a taste of the deck investigates and darlene story. Argus Indiana is small, more corn stalks than people in 1984. It's one of those places where neighbor means something different. Everyone's your neighbor, but each house is a corn or soybean field away. The home of the wholes family was just like that. Tucked away off a major road through town with fields to the front and back. Ron hulse built the home himself for his wife, darlene, and their three daughters. He picked the spot because his parents and his siblings also had plots of land and homes nearby. It was an idyllic Midwest life. Ron's dad would sometimes peddle his bike the quarter of a mile over from his house to theirs in the mornings after Ron left for work to say hi to his grandkids. In fact, he did just that on August 17th, 1984. Besides him, there weren't many other pop in visitors, but that morning, after he left, there was another knock at the door. The two older girls who were 6 and 8 only heard bits of what was happening from where they were in the bathtub. But what they heard was strange, growling and grunting, low and guttural. When they left the tub, what they found was a man knelt over their mother trying to tape her eyes and mouth shut. I remember her saying, don't hurt my babies. And she was screaming blood curdling screams while she was fighting. So there were grunts and it was just like surreal. It was completely surreal. I just remember him coming towards me and me thinking he's gonna get me now. It's gonna get me. And I think that's when she said to run, run, run. When the girls ran out the front door, they had no idea that would be the last time they'd see their mother. 28 year old darlene hulse was abducted from her home just yesterday, but the search for her ended here in this patch of Woods just 6 miles from her home. The mother of three was found dead, and while investigators haven't released the cause of death, they're calling this a homicide, and a manhunt is underway. It's been 38 years since that man hunt began, and there have been no arrests. In those 38 years, 8 year old Marie, 6 year old Melissa and one year old Kristen had to grow up not knowing who took their mother or why. I remember sitting on the steps in the garage and asking some things and I'll never forget one time Wilson said the one thing that she regrets was not getting me, not grabbing me when they were running out. And I think that's peaked my interest like, what do you mean? Where was I? What was going on? So then started asking more. And I just want to see myself when I get older. I want to do some digging. Digging up the truth can be hard in a case that is as cold as an Indiana winter. But the more weaved up, we've come to believe that truth might be right below the surface. If you know where to look, and the answer is to decades old questions could be a whole lot closer to home than anyone ever wanted to believe. And so I looked him in the eyes and there were the just red he looked like a monster. He doesn't look like the person that's walking out there right now. This case has the potential to be solved within weeks. If the people in charge make it a priority. And what the hell takes so long with the DNA? What's kind of craps that? So they came, would you give them your DNA to just really well? Yeah. They have it. They took it from me years ago. If they didn't still have it and they needed a new sample, would you be cool with it? No, I'm not going to work with them at all. But until then, we're knocking on every door and leaving no stone unturned. I want to cross you off the list. I have a long list. You're one of many people. Leave me the fucking loan.

A highlight from 88: Part 2: Ed Mireles and the Miami Firefight - Five Minutes that Changed the FBI
"So they're making more than a typical FBI agent is. They're making more than me. Oh my God. Right. So we're up to four robberies at this time, right? Yeah. So where do you guys go with, I mean, you obviously know that they're getting obviously they're honing their craft. They're getting better at this. But what's your guys response to this? Well, see, that's interesting because we thought what we knew there were new players in town. Okay, and we could establish it was like August September, October area. That they had they had started. So we thought, hey, you know what? The way these guys are operating, they had everybody kept saying, hey, you know, they were tall. I don't want to put words in people's mouth, but I'll use the word buff that they were fit, tall. And they had like a military bearing to them. Okay, that's one of the things that came through in a lot of investigate in a lot of interviews. And we said, oh, you know what? Maybe we've got some players out of homestead Air Force Base. Because there is a military base down there. And there is a marine detachment down there. Plus there's also a lot of National Guard, you know, activity in Miami. And then we have coast guard, so we figured, hey, you know what, these guys are probably either recently. Military guys have just finished their enlistment. And they're trying to find a way to supplement their income or something like that. So we thought that we might actually be dealing with recently retired or current active duty military guys. Or back in the day, that's back before this big craze started preppers, survivalists, or whatever the heck they call themselves now. You know, that was the beginning of that craze back then, you know? Like prepping and survivalist. Yeah, it's funny you were mentioning that Ed because, you know, the 80s, it's still we're not that far away from Vietnam or less than ten years away. A lot of people, I said, not only air force, but you got army. You've got navy. You know, you've got a lot of people marines. You know, a lot of people, former military people, and so yeah, what was it about you said, I'm surprised, though, even for military people, you thought they're shooting might have been just a little bit better if they were military trained. Well, you know what? It's interesting you say that because when we post incident, I mean, I had the easy part. I was in intensive care for two weeks, you know? So I didn't have any investigative duties. You know, so but I post incident. They found out that these guys would go out to the Everglades almost every week and practice. And practice and practice. And I know it might be getting a little bit ahead of the story, but after the shooting happened, there was an investigation. They went to their homes and then they talked to their wives and girlfriends. And they found a receipt. I think it was, well, I forget who's home it was, but they finally raised a receipt for the purchase of 5000 rounds of two two three ammo. Dang. Okay. And they asked the girlfriend. The FBI and metro day asked the girlfriends. Where's the ammo? And they said, oh, they shot it up. They said, what? They said, yeah, they used to practice a lot. They used to go shooting a lot. Okay, so I asked people to say, hey, how many of you guys and ladies shoot 5000 rounds of ammo a year in practice? I mean, I have a firearms instructor. Okay, it used to be. And I'm thinking, man, I don't know whether as an instructor, I fired 5000 rounds of ammo in a year. I mean, the pretty close probably, but I mean, that's a lot of ammo, you know? I mean, you know, but they had fired it in the previous two weeks. Man, well, either, yeah, just shooting it up. But you were talking about that. I mean, you started formulating these theories, right? So how did these theories translate into next action? I mean, you guys were putting a plan at some point, you got to be figuring it. It seems like Friday through a popular day for these guys to do stuff. They are getting settled into a couple routines that might make them a little predictable. Correct. That's a good point. It's called intuitive policing. It's like, hey, you know,

They would take pictures. They would do blogs right so the fact that she didn't speak to her mother in a couple of days was normal. So you know after a week. Mom said look. I haven't spoke to my daughter what's going on. It was just weird so she reached out to the boyfriend bryan laundry. He didn't answer his phone. He didn't call her back. Seem pretty way called family than in a family would answer So she filed a missing persons report like she should've after filing a missing persons report. Police went to brian laundries house which is out in florida family's house and when they asked. Hey you know wisdom young lady Blog you travel world together. What's going on.

Exploring The Murder of Yvonne Lane: Reaching Out to Joe Wilkes
"It seemed like the best way to get to the bottom of what was going on was to finally speak to the man whose testimony landed david in prison for life. It was time to reach out to joe wilkes to be clear. I personally have not spoken to joe as you know the private investigators from proclaim justice advised me to let them do all the interviews during their preliminary investigation. Anything i may say or ask. A witness could taint their statements for the court. So john hardin wrote joe informing him of who he and danny wexler are and what they're doing reinvestigating the murder to find the truth of what happened now for i've seen between sue and joe hearing all the interviews. He's done with sue and other media. I did not think that joe would be too happy to hear from anyone plus if you remember even though he told police that he killed you on by cooperating and telling the police that david had hired him. He got a lesser sentence than david. Thirty years with the possibility of parole. Joe has already done twenty two years so he could be looking at freedom in just eight years. I figured he would have no interest in bringing all of this up again. I thought he would just wanna finish out his time and move on without any of the mass that happens every time he speaks to someone about this case and when i say mess i mean all of his conflicting statements in fact i figured he would actually send them a nasty message back telling them to fuck off or something if he even responded. But that didn't happen. Joe wrote back eager to talk and tell his story so the guys worked setting up a legal visit which proved to be next to impossible in ohio to get done in a timely manner and so we waited and waited. But in the meantime we couldn't wait time so we tracked down some other key witnesses. I

Now some random guy was standing near the crash car when the detective asked what he was doing there. He said he just happened to be passing by turns out the reason. The officer didn't see anyone in the crashed car when he drove by without bothering to stop was because the driver had been shot twice in the head and was slumped over the wheel and she was still alive. This was kaitlyn arquette. Lois duncan's eighteen year old daughter.

Try your best. I lived in an apartment building in downtown columbus. Ohio when i was twenty three one night at three am. I was woken by the sound of someone trying to turn my luck and open my apartment door. I was scared. But i figured it was just someone drunk or lost a yelled through the door. Hey this isn't your apartment to which the man through the door responded. I know and continued trying to turn the luck. I started panicking. And i yelled back. If you don't leave. i'm calling the police. He then started slamming his body into my doors heart as possible making my entire front hallway. Shake my god. I called nine one one and luckily the police arrived in time to remove him from my door just before he could break it down. They told me he lived in the apartment below mine and he was just drunk and had gotten confused. I told the police that i had very clearly told him that he was in the wrong place and that he was being excessively aggressive but they laughed it off. Well my little murdering oh heart was still very paranoid so i changed my log but extra protection and started doing some research. I found his name on the box in the mail room that was addressed to the apartment below mine and i googled him. I found horrible personal blog where he ranted about a lot of bullshit but particularly his hatred of women and how he had an extensive gun collection. I also learned that he was a two hundred and twenty pound ex-marine in peak physical fitness. Mike there were so many red flags that i immediately alerted the apartment management group to his behavior online and off and petitioned to break my lease they then inform me other women in the building had filed harassment complaints against him but the apartment manager had talked to him and assured me he was quote.

The Murder Case of Yvonne Layne: Searching for the Star Witnesses
"At this point. I've been in touch with david thorne for nearly two years. David has been in prison for twenty two years for allegedly murdering his ex girlfriend yvonne lane on march thirty first nineteen ninety nine since then david has adamantly proclaimed his innocence and the bizarre murder case and conviction has been featured on multiple news tv e programs and so for the past two years. I have been consumed like dwayne poelman. Warned would happen and so i decided to finally enlist the help of professional private investigators. John harden danny wexler and jason baldwin from the west memphis three and his organization proclaimed justice so back on the ground in ohio. We continued our search for chris. Campbell remember john. And danny thought rose and chris were the most key people in this entire investigation chris and his girlfriend rose. Were the star witnesses at trial. Twenty-three-year-old rose an twenty one year old. Chris both testified at trial. They said they saw joe at the carnation mall around closing. They said he told them he was in town for a job and they said that job was to kill a girl. The card joe allegedly wrote his phone number on for. Chris was presented at trial to prove that joe was there with them the native the murder and at this point. We don't really question that they were all there together but what happened while they were there is what we wonder about by trial three months after the murder some details of what they remembered changed from what they'd set in their initial statements and then a bit more change between those statements. The time they took the stand six months after that rose initially said joe was in white pants and a white track jacket by trial. The pants were black. Rose also said that. The knife that joe showed them was definitely not a pocket knife. She said it was an eight inch knife in a sheath by trial it was a pocket knife. We tried to find rose on our first trip because we had many questions about her statement. We wanted to know why it changed and also about something. She told police in her tape statement. Because i'm scared for my life. Because chris campbell for me if i said anything he met me. And that's why i've been scared. His oliver nagai as race. People do things when they're scared.

"Joining us now is reporter charlie bagley. Who's covering the trial for the new york times and for crime story dot com. Welcome back charlie. Thank you so again charlie. Let me ask you the question. I start every one of our sessions with. What did you make of what happened in the courtroom today. Particularly john lewin's third day of interrogating robert durst on the witness stand. It was another day where we're going through a very meticulous and exhaustive cross examination point by point and it was not so much the individual responses each one. We're basically the prosecutor is challenging. Every single thing that bob has said about the disappearance of his wife his whereabouts his actions the state of their marriage that the violence or nonviolence in in their marriage. But what. I was focused on was a little bit more when the prosecutors finally says to bob after going through so many of these statements that he said where lies he asks. Bob how are we supposed to feed out when you're lying or telling the truth you've just given to statements to andrew directly one on december twelve. Which says you had a pushing shoving argument then the next day. You say we didn't have a fight. We didn't wrestle. We didn't touch one another and when directly tells you wake up in our last conversation. Didn't you say there was a physical altercation and you said no. I don't think i had a physical altercation at night. You're sure i told you that you just heard the two statements. Do you agree those two statements both from you one day. Apart to andrew directly are completely inconsistent with each other brands for. Aren't telling well. But i thought you told me that andrew told you the first day to say that there was some kind of fight and then you say that and then the second day you were saying and who decides to tell you to say the opposite and then to try to correct you. Is that your statement. Time he interview gone to the third day highways. Being thanks that maybe. I may say i was not going along all injuries. So mr when you said. I don't think i told you yesterday that we had a pushing shoving argument when you said that on the third day you knew that was a lie.
