1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Body dies with Joseph's gotten more. When I was a

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: little boy, very little, I lived in this kind of

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: old ramshackled house that my great grandfather had built. It

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: had been a stonemason. The floors were all poured concrete,

5
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: smooth and cold under your feet. In my bedroom was

6
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: immediately adjacent to my mama's room. Everything creaked in that house.

7
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: And when I was little, I had an issue with nightmares,

8
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: and there was one nightmare that was repeated. I don't

9
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: know if any of y'all have these that kind of

10
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: reoccur over and over in your mind. When I was little,

11
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: there was a nightmare that I would have that involved,

12
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: of all things, the legs of the wicked Witch of

13
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: the East, not the West. Do you remember those legs

14
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: from the Wizard of Oz. They're sticking out from beneath

15
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Dorothy's house that landed on her, the striped stockings, the

16
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: red shoes. And my nightmare involved those legs hanging from

17
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: the ceiling and the room would spin and they would

18
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: just dangle over me. When I was little, and it

19
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: still at the age that I am now, those memories

20
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: still inhabit my thoughts. Today. We're going to talk about

21
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: some cases that involved something else that seems like it's

22
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: made up. It seems like maybe it's cartoonish, but the

23
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: reality is this, The person behind this evil may appear

24
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: like an arch villain in some kind of superhero comic,

25
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: but let me assure you he's real and his name

26
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: is Wade Wilson. I'm Joseph Scott Morgan and this is

27
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: bodybacks brother, Dave. I guess it was probably, I don't know,

28
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: a week and a half ago, two weeks ago, I

29
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: sent you an image and I told you at the

30
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: time I asked you, I said, this this person look

31
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: like look like a character from the Batman.

32
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: Universe, the Joker from Batman.

33
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the Joker. You know who else I thought about? Actually,

34
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I thought about Tommy Lee Jones as two Face as well,

35
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: because I got to tell you when when I saw

36
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: these images, I'm thinking, first off, what were you thinking,

37
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, when you disfigure yourself like this? Because this

38
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: individual has got these he's being referred to as the.

39
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: Tattoo Face guy, Wade Wilson Tattoo Face because Wade Wilson

40
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: sounds like a made up name. It sounds like something

41
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: out of Marvel comics. You know, Bruce Banner, Well it doesn't.

42
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: Hey, look, actually, Wade Wilson is Deadpool's name in the

43
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: Marvel in the Marvel universe. So yeah, I mean, we've

44
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: got I don't know what, what did the fancy academic

45
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: types say, we've got synergy here?

46
00:03:59,160 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: Oh?

47
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: Wow? And yeah, and it goes to a level of

48
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: evil that is inexplicable. Maybe on one level, it's absolutely

49
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: terrifying when you see this guy. And that's why I

50
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: started out talking about my memories as a child, because

51
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine, first off, sitting across the table

52
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 1: from this guy having a cup of coffee, much less

53
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: if you're some kind of young child or a person

54
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: that's in an intimate position, maybe he's tucking you into

55
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: bed and this guy is leaning over you. Can you imagine.

56
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: Worst night mare? The thing is is you have to think,

57
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: and I do. I think, what made you think this

58
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: was a good idea? Look, Mike Tyson gets the tattoo

59
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: on his face. He can do that because anybody looks

60
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: at him sideways either loses an ear or their face.

61
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: One of the two is gone because he's Mike Tyson.

62
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: But for the rest of us, no, you know, when

63
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: you at a certain point in time, tattoos kind of

64
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: lose their coolness when you've got weird stuff going on,

65
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: and Wade Wilson has weird stuff going on. It's so weird.

66
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: In fact, this is a guy who is accused of

67
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: committing too heinous murders back to back. Depending on who's

68
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: writing the story, it either happened in a matter of

69
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: hours or a matter of days'ling. I'm boggled by that.

70
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: How do reporters get it so wrong?

71
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if they're getting you know,

72
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes I think that given the energy surrounding cases,

73
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: it's almost as if people get into a feeding frenzy. Yeah,

74
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, like if you've ever seen you don't have

75
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: to see sharks to see a feeding frenzy. I've been

76
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: fishing out in the Gulf and you know, catching redfish before,

77
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: and they get into a feeding frenzy. Everybody's going to

78
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: idea you're you know, you're you're disoriented, you don't know

79
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: what's going on, You're not oriented to the location you're in.

80
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: And because I think, first off, you talk about from

81
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: a journalist standpoint, these cases have everything that I think

82
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: somebody in the news media is looking for. You've got

83
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: this oddball guy who is just uber violent and seems

84
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: like he is out of control. And it's the stuff

85
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: that it's the stuff that nightmares truly. I mean, I'm

86
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: guilty of it. I just made a comment about it.

87
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: The stuff that nightmares are made of.

88
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 2: And David Joe, if you're going to put tattoos on

89
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: your face that are menacing, that are okay, you put

90
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: a swashtika on your face, it tells me a lot

91
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: of things about you as a person, and none of

92
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: them are good. So if you're going to be tried,

93
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: which he has, and that's why we're talking about Wade Wilson,

94
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 2: accused of killing two women and he goes to trial,

95
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: and what is one of the first things his defense

96
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: wants to do. They want him to be able to

97
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: cover up these tattoos on his face because the imagery

98
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: for the jury might be too much. And I'm thinking, yeah,

99
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: you're the one that did this exactly. How No, I

100
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: don't think you get to hide those is they tell

101
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: us a lot about who you are, and uh, you know,

102
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 2: but that's just me. They did give him permission because

103
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: our system of justice leans heavily towards the accused, which

104
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: if you're wrongly accused, you can appreciate that. But if

105
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: you're a murderer, I don't think you get that. You know,

106
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: I want to play. I want to play not nice.

107
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: I say, no, you killed these people. I know we're

108
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: going to trial. But you did it. We know you

109
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: did it.

110
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,559
Speaker 1: You know, well you know on that on that point,

111
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: you know you you were so willing and uh on

112
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: the outside you to get it done and not just

113
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: getting paid to get, not just paying to get. You're

114
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: embracing it. Mat you know, you're projecting this thing out there. Hey,

115
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: go all in, dude, just embrace it. This is who

116
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: you are. This is who you are. And I got

117
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: to tell you, you know, watching the trial as I have,

118
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: he's he's devoid of like any kind of emotion about it.

119
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: He's very cold, calculating and one of the one of

120
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: the fascinating things about this whole thing is just hold

121
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: on to your hat here for a second. All right.

122
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: He's claiming that both of these victims he's being set up.

123
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: He was being set up by a human trafficking ring,

124
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: which he states he was a part of. So you're

125
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: going to go there. So yeah, let's let's just further,

126
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, go down the spectrum. So you're you claim

127
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: that you're involved in human trafficking, and that's your that's

128
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: one of the albis that you're and that you're being

129
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: framed for doing this. You know, I don't know. I

130
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think about the scales of justice in

131
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: my mind and it doesn't have anything to do with justice.

132
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: It's like, on balance, you're thinking, Okay, now do I

133
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: want to go down this dark path of human trafficking

134
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: in order to escape? Escape? Now he's in Florida. They've

135
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: kind of got an express laying down there compared to

136
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: all other sites relative to the death penalty. You're talking

137
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: about it. You're talking about two homicides, and he's got

138
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: an agg assault on him as well and his girlfriend.

139
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: So you're going, you your choice is to go with

140
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: the human trafficking thing in your frame, you know, is

141
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: that what you're saying?

142
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: That's it? It was? You know, do you remember the

143
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: murder of Molly Tibbets. Yes, Molly Tibbets college girl twenty

144
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 2: years old Brooklyn I of Iowa. And she goes out

145
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: for a run and while she's on this run, she

146
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: is attacked by an illegal immigrant and he kills her,

147
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: but he says he does he blacked out. The whole

148
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: blackout thing gets me on a lot of these guys

149
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: who admit. And the reason I'm sharing this with you

150
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: very quickly is because he made the same claim that

151
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: he was a victim, that these human traffickers had kidnapped

152
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: him and forced him to drive his own car to

153
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 2: get Molly Tibbitts so they could traffic her, and that

154
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: he was made to do all this by these traffickers.

155
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 2: That was his excuse. So it's not like Wade Wilson,

156
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: the tattoo face guy, even came up with an original

157
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 2: lie to tell you know, he copied Molly Tibbitts guy.

158
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: That's because it's pretty much the same thing. I'm the victim.

159
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: I was kidnapped, I was threatened, I was beaten to

160
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: do this to somebody else. But getting into the reality here,

161
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: we've got Wade Wilson, tattoo Face, accused of murdering two women,

162
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: and for no reason, by the way, not any reason,

163
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: like there's never a reason to kill somebody, but I'm

164
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 2: talking about it wasn't in the commission of a crime.

165
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: It wasn't where he was defending himself or them. It

166
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: wasn't in a gunfight of the Ok Corral or a

167
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: car wreck. This was Wade Wilson, tattoo face, meeting a

168
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: woman in a bar and striking up a conversation that

169
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: becomes very friendly. And you know, there are times we

170
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: make bad decisions in our life, and we all have

171
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: been victimized or not victimized. We have all created bad

172
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: situations for ourselves by making bad decisions.

173
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

174
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And what Wade Wilson did that night was take

175
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: advantage of somebody else who needed a companion, looking for

176
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: help emotionally, just looking for a shoulder to cry on,

177
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 2: looking for somebody to talk to, somebody to come. You know,

178
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: we're a lonely group of people. We are the United

179
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: States of America in general, very lonely people. We have

180
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: way too much stuff, We have way too much entertainment,

181
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: We have way too many things that our brains are

182
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: constantly being fed information, entertainment, and sometimes that leaves us

183
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: vulnerable because we crave companionship with one on one person

184
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: so much so that we forget, you know, because we

185
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: could go days Joe with never action seeing anybody face

186
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: to face, you know, through text, email, phone, we really

187
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 2: can and eventually your body cries out for this. I

188
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 2: got to have human contact, and sometimes you reach out

189
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: for the wrong person. And in this particular case, Wade

190
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: Wilson was that wrong person.

191
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was, and an interesting Dave, almost chameleon like.

192
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: We talk about this connection that we want, perhaps and

193
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: it makes us vulnerable. But in this particular case, we've

194
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: got a guide that is camouflaged with these kind of

195
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: horrific images on his face. But yet what lie just

196
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: beneath the surface of his skin is far more evil

197
00:12:47,760 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: than anything that was displayed externally. Dave, you had mentioned

198
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: just a moment ago swastikas on the face.

199
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: Just below his right eye talking about Wade Wilson.

200
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wade Wilson actually does have a small swastika beneath

201
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: the right eye. It's uh, it's about I don't know.

202
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: I'd just make probably about an inch and a half.

203
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: You see a person like this like Wade Wilson, with

204
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: the tattoos and some objectionable tattoos, there's no real excuse

205
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: for a swastika on your face. Okay, how are you

206
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: going to explain that I used to be stupid and

207
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: now i'm not. You know, because if that's the case,

208
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: then why don't you do something to make it look different?

209
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?

210
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: And short of that, I'm sorry, I'm not sitting with you.

211
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not thought why would I want to

212
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: r right? Anyway? But somehow he's able to play that,

213
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: and he's able to get the attention of Estein Melton.

214
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: He starts with her. She's thirty five, beautiful woman. She's

215
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: having a couple of drinks, having an adult beverage or two,

216
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 2: and strikes up a conversation with this guy who seems

217
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: pleasant enough. Maybe that's the thing. The tattoos are off putting.

218
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: And then you find out, wait a minute, this guy

219
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: actually communicates like a regular person. All of a sudden,

220
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: you know, now it's interesting, why do you have that?

221
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: And so they strike up a conversation, have a couple

222
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: more drinks. One thing leads to another, and somehow he

223
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: is able and I believe he's a master manipulator. Wade

224
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: Wilson is able to manipulate Christine Melton into allowing him

225
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: into her home. It could have been let's just finish

226
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: the conversation like to get to know you better, you know,

227
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: have a cup of coffee. Could have been that simple.

228
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: Didn't end up that way, but he did meet her

229
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: in a bar and then went back to her place.

230
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: All of that willingly from what we have been told,

231
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: that Christie melt and went and invited him back to

232
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: her place. What happened to her is the beginning of

233
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: their twenty four hour period of crime that is still

234
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: hurting people to this day.

235
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: And it will for years and years to come. You know,

236
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: we see this a lot in these cases where you know,

237
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: I've used the analogy of throwing you know, throwing a

238
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: rock into this beautiful kind of placid pond, and those

239
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: waves that go out from that disruption wind up like this.

240
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: This guy is in fact the stuff of nightmares. And

241
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: here's the thing about it, the methodology. I think that

242
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: he is using to allure, because this is a case

243
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: of luring. And I think that this comes down to

244
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: his if he you know, and I've thought about this,

245
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: could he have used this self induced disfigurement in order

246
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: to try to tell some kind of sad story, you know,

247
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: because how else could you explain it? How use could

248
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: you use this to your advantage? With somebody that might

249
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: be vulnerable, to get them in, to have them take

250
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: a bite of the apple, if you will, to get

251
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: in their space. And that's an absolutely horrifying because that's

252
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: the only way that this could really ever be explained.

253
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: And so what we know is that when.

254
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: He got back to her apartment.

255
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: There was an intimate interval. We do know that, and

256
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, and we don't know what kind of

257
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: flip the switch. I don't know that we ever do, Dave,

258
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: in any of these cases, what kind of flip the

259
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: switch for this guy to become and react so violently

260
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: When you begin to think about Christine Melton.

261
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: I tend to think sometimes, Joe, that you and I

262
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: come at it, and most of us, we come at

263
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: it from a rational standpoint of how we process information,

264
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: how we react to things, and we try to fit

265
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 2: the criminal or the crime into our understanding. Yes, but

266
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 2: the criminal or the crime in these cases, they're not

267
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: something that you and I can act, or most of

268
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: us could even imagine. It's kind of like, who would

269
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: go with Charles Manson anywhere? He's a short, stinky, bearded,

270
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: thirty eight year old dude out of prison kind of thing. Well,

271
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: a lot of people did same thing here with tattoof face.

272
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: Wade Wilson somehow he's able to get Christine Melton. They

273
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 2: go back to her place, and the next morning when

274
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: they're up, he for whatever reason, strangles her. He kills

275
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 2: Christine Melton for no reason, apparently, just that he wanted

276
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: to kill somebody, which takes us back to the Johnny

277
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: Cash song. I shot him in in Reno just to

278
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: watch him die. I hate to think that that's what

279
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 2: Wade Wilson did that. He just said, I want to

280
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 2: know what it's like.

281
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: Well, I think you've I think you have kind of

282
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: reinforced what the state Attorney General said in this particular case,

283
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: because he's he is. In the closing arguments in Wade

284
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: Wilson's case. The State Attorney General said that this case

285
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: was about now just hanging on, just let this kind

286
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: of bore down into your soul. It's a case about

287
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: killing for the sake of killing, Dave, you know who

288
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: who who does that? Who would want to do that?

289
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: But yet we have examples of this, you know throughout

290
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: history of people that go out killing for the sake

291
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: of killing. You and I had a conversation off air

292
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: just a few minutes ago where we you know, I

293
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: actually stated to you that there's nothing new under the sun.

294
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: You know, it goes back forever and ever. But I

295
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: think that when we see someone that would be willing

296
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: to go back to a total stranger's house, engage in

297
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: intimate relations with them, and then, oh, it's kind of

298
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: an afterthought. Let me see if I can't extinguish this life.

299
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: You know, as he wraps his hands around her throat,

300
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're left and I think that, you know,

301
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: that's what with this particular kind of case, this is

302
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: the type of thing that makes it even more horrific

303
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: because it's so randomized. Dave. You know, you're you're thinking

304
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: it's you know, you had you had mentioned about trying

305
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: to defend oneself against some kind of incoming violence or

306
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: something like that. That's not what this is about. This is,

307
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, this is like going out and destroying a

308
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: beautiful work of art just because you choose to do it,

309
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: or just burning down someone's home because you're fascinated by fire,

310
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: or you know, just going around and making other people's

311
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: lives miserable. And again, this goes back to the idea

312
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: that the misery that he has inflicted on both of

313
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: these women is going to continue for years and years

314
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: to come.

315
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: Dave, when you've mentioned it that Wade Wilson, Tattoo Face

316
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: and Christine Melton meet at a bar, have a few drinks,

317
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: they go back to her place where they engage in

318
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: sexual relations. Wade Wilson then after having this very intimate

319
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: personal act with Christine Melton, Then, from what you've described

320
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 2: many times about strangling somebody with your hands, it is

321
00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: the most personal type of murder. Yes, there is. How

322
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: long does somebody have to have their hands around another

323
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: human being to strangle the life out of them?

324
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't when you're and this guy's a big guy, Dave.

325
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: When you see him, he's robust, he looks like he

326
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: spends time on the wait bench. Not that that necessarily

327
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: means that you're going to be like Hercules or anything.

328
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: But when you take his size and you compare it

329
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: to a woman of Christine's stature, she's not necessarily fragile,

330
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: but she is certainly not to his level of strength.

331
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: And also you have to incorporate this kind of primal

332
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: thing that has arisen in him, because you know you've

333
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: got and I think that all of this violence is

334
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: sexual violence. That's what I think that it is. It's

335
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: the driver behind it. Because, like you had stated and

336
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: I previously stated, this is the most intimate of all

337
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: of these kind of causes of death. The mechanism of death,

338
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: if you will, this asphyxia by strangulation. As he is

339
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: wrapping his hands around her neck, he's constricting the airway

340
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: and in addition to that, he's constricting the vessels that

341
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: are running alongside of the airway as well. Now here's

342
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: what I'm really kind of wondering, did he ever adjust

343
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: his hands and move from the original position, Because if

344
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: you have that going on, and keep in mind, when

345
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: you have two individuals that are locked in this kind

346
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: of violence with one another, and you have this asymmetrical

347
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: relationship where you've got this dominant individual over her, he

348
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: has the ability to And I've worked a series of

349
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: serial killings, actually, Dave that involved a groat where a

350
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: guy would uh wrap it around ladies' throats as he's

351
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: sexually assaulting her and uh, you know, tighten it down,

352
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: then release, tighten, release, and they will allow them to

353
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: regain their breath just for a moment and it increases,

354
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: uh the horror factor here because they're allowed to breathe again,

355
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: and then it's it's they're robbed of it again. So

356
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: I think that in this dominant position, you have the

357
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: ability to do it. He's he's enjoying this. He truly is.

358
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: And I don't want to get too far off into

359
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: the kind of psycho uh you know, uh analysis here

360
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: and all of the profiling types of stuff that go

361
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: on with this, but you can see evidence of this

362
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: many times, uh the level of violence. There'll also be

363
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: blunt force trauma many times associated with this, because as

364
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: you're in a dominant position over them, you can rain

365
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: down multiple stripes on an individual their face. So you'll

366
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: see this level of kind of disfigurement that takes place,

367
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: broken nose, blackened eyes, You'll get these raccoon eyes and

368
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: these individuals. Because then that gives you an indication that

369
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: the that the facial the bony structures of the face

370
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: have been have been damaged and fractured as well. That

371
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: also gives you an idea with the swelling. Dave and

372
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: you know this having these conversations with me, that the

373
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: person lived, they lived long enough to have an inflammatory

374
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: reaction to the strikes. And again that's that is quite revealing.

375
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: But at the end, you know, when you're talking about

376
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: this poor woman, he's attacking her in her own home

377
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: where she generally would feel safe. And of course when

378
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: he starts this attack and finishes it, he still has

379
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: one more person that he is going to to rain

380
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: tear down the pot. Isn't that enough? In Wade Wilson's case,

381
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: apparently it wasn't. That's a question I think that most

382
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: right thinking people might have a desire to ask, is

383
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: it wasn't that enough? You've snuffed out the life of

384
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: this precious woman, Christine Milton, She's thirty five years old.

385
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: You've snuffed her life out. You've come into her own

386
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: little space that she had set up for herself, a

387
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: place of safety, and you wreak have it in that environment.

388
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: But why wasn't that enough? After you had done brutally

389
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: killing her? You move on to a forty three year

390
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: a woman, Diane or Ruis.

391
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: But before he does that, Joe he's trying to figure

392
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: out what to do. It was not a well thought

393
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: out plan. He merely meets Christine Melton, goes back to

394
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: her place, spends in this time with her and then

395
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: strangles her, kills her. He tries to roll her up

396
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: in some carpet. He knows he's got to do something,

397
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: but he had waited long enough that rigor mortis, roger

398
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: mortis had set in and she was not easy to maneuver.

399
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 2: I saw that, and I thought he talks about like this,

400
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: like it's nothing. Joe, Yeah, And that was his first thought,

401
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: was rolling her up in carpet. Again. It wasn't enough.

402
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 2: He was still maybe this is what started him. Maybe

403
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 2: maybe this was this killing was too quiet for him.

404
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: Maybe this killing merely just let his whistle, and he

405
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 2: decided it's time for more, because he steals her car

406
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 2: and starts going down the road, leaving her dead body

407
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: back in her place. But he takes her car. He's

408
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: going down the road and he sees he sees a

409
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 2: mother of two. She's forty three years old. She's walking,

410
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 2: just walking to work. That's all she's doing. She was

411
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 2: minding her own business, trying to support her family. When

412
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: she comes in contact with Wade Wilson tattoo Face, who

413
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: has committed a murder in the previous hours. He asks

414
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 2: her directions, not because he needs to know anything. He

415
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 2: does it because he's.

416
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: Going to kill her, feeding frenzy.

417
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: He sees her on the side walking and decides, I'm

418
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: going to kill her. That switch you said, feeding frenzy,

419
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: that switch that got flipped when he killed Christine Melton.

420
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 2: He's got to kill more, and he does. He gets

421
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: her in the car Joe. And there's some debate as

422
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 2: to how he got Diane Ruis in his car. Did

423
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: he manipulate her in? Did he offer her a ride?

424
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: You know? Did he coax her, Hey, I'll give you ride.

425
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: Short walk It's October in Florida. You know, it might

426
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 2: have something warm. Maybe she had a long walk. I

427
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: don't know, but I know this, somehow, some way, he

428
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: got her in the car. Some suggest that once he

429
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: got her close to the car, he pulled her in

430
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 2: and immediately strangled her, which I think the reason. Some

431
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: hope that there was something else going on, that maybe

432
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: he coerced her into getting in the car. That that

433
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: seems to be more palliative, but you know, easier to

434
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 2: understand than was something. I tend to be of the belief,

435
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: based on he had just killed Christine Melton, that once

436
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: Diane Rui's got close enough to the car, nobody's riding

437
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 2: around him. In a spur of the moment, he grabs

438
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: her by the throat, pulls her in and starts strangling

439
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: her ride away. That's just my thought. I have no

440
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: evidence to go on that. That's just what I think

441
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: based on what some police reports say.

442
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. And here's the thing. It seems as

443
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: though Dave that and I'd love to hear what you

444
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 1: think about this, that when he leaves Christine Melton's place

445
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: and he's in her vehicle, this attack on miss Ruiz,

446
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: it escalates, doesn't it. It seems like it goes to

447
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: a higher level of violence at this point in time

448
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: because of what we know of what happened to her

449
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: remains and the way her body was treated in the

450
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: post mortem state.

451
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: Well, you know what we found out about Christine Milton.

452
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: We know that they met, we're cordial, engage, you know,

453
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 2: to the point of developing a quick relationship, and then

454
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: he strangled her. And my thought was it was a surprise.

455
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: She didn't know what's happening, and you know, it was

456
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 2: over fairly quickly. Diane Ruiz gets strangled right off the bat,

457
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,479
Speaker 2: and he thinks he has killed her, and he's thinking, well,

458
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 2: what am I going to do with her body? He

459
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: is thinking that. It's then that he realizes, Joe, she's

460
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: not dead. She took a breath. His first thought was not, oh,

461
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: I got to strangle her again. She's coming back. I

462
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: got That was not his first thought. His first thought,

463
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: Joseph Scott Morgan, was to take Diane Ruiz, to throw

464
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 2: her out of the car and drive over her, not once,

465
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: driving over her body over and over and over again.

466
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: Remember he strangled her inside the car. She survives over

467
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: kill time. And we know this information. Two ways won

468
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: her body, the physical body itself. We do know medical

469
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: examiner told us what happened there in terms of the

470
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: actual injuries. We know his thought process because of a

471
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: conversation he had with his biological father, Joseph Scott Morgan.

472
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: Have you ever, in your death investigator days, dealt with

473
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: anything close to what tattoo faced Wade Wilson did to

474
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 2: Diana Ruiz.

475
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: I don't think so, not with a car. I was

476
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: actually reflecting on that and where the individual is taking

477
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: the vehicle and going backwards and forwards over this poor

478
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: woman's body. And you know, you think about the reality

479
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: of this. This is the ultimate in defiling a human

480
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: and at a very very primal level. And what what

481
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: I guess. I guess someone that was you know, uh,

482
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: that was analyzing this from a psychological standpoint might say, well,

483
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't just to cover up, you know, evidence, because

484
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: as you know, as I hold uh and you and

485
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: I have talked about this, Dave, if you try to

486
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: destroy a body with fire or you know, you're trying

487
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: to dismember it, which lord, we've had enough of those,

488
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: haveping we Dave, the level of violence that you're talking about,

489
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: it goes so far beyond uh, what you're what you

490
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: did initially. Now you're adding more evidence to it. And

491
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: so this makes this there was a level of decomposition

492
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: as well. We have to keep that in mind. When

493
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: they finally did find her body, and of course this

494
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: is October in Florida. Things happened from a decompositional standpoint

495
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: much more rapidly there than it might other locales across

496
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: our country because the heat. But there was evidence of

497
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: scavenger activity from animals, this sort of thing. But we

498
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: know that the trauma that she sustained was so extensive

499
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: that in that one spot. The police would have a

500
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: devil of time working the scene because it's you have

501
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: this kind of layering of evidence that's going on in

502
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: this environment. You're trying to decide, well, how in the

503
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: world did she wind up here, what's the significance of

504
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: this location, what's the surface like that the body is

505
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: found lying upon, Who might have access to this location?

506
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: And why is somebody riding around back and forth over

507
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: the body with a car. Because you're we're going to

508
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: have tire tracks, not just in the surrounding area, maybe

509
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: pressing down the grass underlying dirt, Dave, you're gonna have

510
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: evidence of tire tire impressions on the body.

511
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: Now.

512
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: I have seen this in motor vehicle accents in particular,

513
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: where you'll see evidences of treadmarks on the body. So

514
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: you've got all of that, and think about what we

515
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: talked about earlier when he drug her into the car, Dave.

516
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: When he drug her into the car, he immediately begins

517
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: to assault her. He chokes her out, so you've got

518
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: that bit of evidence, and then he violently reacts to

519
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: her when he realizes that she's not deceased, so again

520
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: he strikes again, until finally you know, he's laying her

521
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: on the ground and rolling back and forth over her body.

522
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: So when you get a body like this to the

523
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: morgue that is so mangled, and also your fighting decomposition here,

524
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: you're trying to find answers. What's fascinating is that how

525
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: do you determine how do you determine the difference between

526
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: what's going on in her neck because we believe this

527
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: is a strangulation and maybe what trauma she had incurred

528
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: as a result of the car rolling over her body.

529
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: Was she deceased at the time the first time the

530
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: car went over her, Because if she wasn't and the

531
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: tire contacts the body, you're going to have hemorrhage there

532
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: as well. So do you see how this can become

533
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: layered and then and then it's kind of muddled even

534
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: further by decompositional activity. So it's a very complex puzzle.

535
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: But you know you mentioned something, Dave that I really

536
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: want our friends to hear, is this whole case kind

537
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: of makes this interesting turn where Wade Wilson actually contacts

538
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: his father, Yeah, which is mind blowing to me.

539
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: You know, he was not raised by his biological father.

540
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 2: They had a minimal relationship. He was raised by step

541
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 2: parents or by adoptive parents, and his dad has a

542
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: background that landed him in prison a few times. And

543
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: it was his dad during this conversation that Wade Wilson

544
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: admits to doing this to. He doesn't come right out

545
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 2: and say I killed him. He just said, well, they're

546
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 2: not going to be going home, you know, they're not

547
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 2: going to be coming back around. And during the course

548
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: of this conversation with his dad, there were certain things

549
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 2: that came up that the only reason we know what

550
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 2: took place, it's because of the conversation that Wade Wilson

551
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: did have with his father about what had been done

552
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: to Diana Ruiz. Otherwise we would not know what had happened. Really,

553
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: we would have an idea of some things. But he

554
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 2: actually tells his dad that he threw her out of

555
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: the car and ran her over so many times until

556
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: she looked like spaghetti. Now, Joe, this is not something

557
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 2: I would think of to describe a human being, but

558
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 2: in this case, where you're looking at him running over

559
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: the body of the small, little, you know, woman, mother

560
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 2: of two, running her over so many times, you would

561
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 2: see white skin, blood. Yeah, it would look like noodles

562
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 2: and sauce. It would look like that if you did

563
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 2: this to the person, you know, with a car running

564
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 2: them over so many times, they become a mangled mess.

565
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 2: That that's the best description he could come up with

566
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 2: to his own father. She looked like spaghetti.

567
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't I don't necessarily, let's see, I

568
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: don't necessarily. I'm not necessarily surprised by the fact that

569
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: he is incapable of saying anything other than this, because

570
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 1: I think that this guy's mind is in a spot

571
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: where he can dehumanize somebody to the point and I

572
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: think that there's he's dehumanized his self, you know, I

573
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: think greatly. And that's not a far that's not a

574
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: far reach. If you can do it to yourself, you

575
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: can do it to other people. If you'll disfigure yourself,

576
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: you'll you know, how much of a more of a

577
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: leap is it for you to disfigure this poor innocent

578
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: woman that was just minding her own as she walked

579
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: down the road. Yeah, I know, And so.

580
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 2: The way ten o'clock in the morning, Joe, she left

581
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: the house. Her son talked about this. He was the

582
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,479
Speaker 2: last person to see her. She was walking to work

583
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 2: ten o'clock in the morning when this happens to her.

584
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: You know, in the conversation that Wade Wilson had with

585
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: his father. His father testified. They called him as a

586
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 2: witness at trial, and he said he was relating the

587
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 2: conversation that he had with Wade Wilson, and he said

588
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: that during the phone call, Wilson explained, he met a girl.

589
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 2: There's talking about Christine Melton. He met a girl at

590
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 2: a bar, went back to her house. They fell asleep.

591
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: He wakes up and he said he got on top

592
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: of her and choked her. He said, I choked that

593
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 2: be yeap, just because he woke up before she did.

594
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 2: I guess then this is what dad says. He stayed

595
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 2: in her house for a little while. He rolled her

596
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 2: up in carpeting and was going to put her in

597
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 2: the trunk of her car, but he couldn't lift her.

598
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: Felt like Rigor Mortis had said, it started to set in.

599
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: So that's when he decides to steal her car, take

600
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 2: off in her car, and that's where he comes into

601
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 2: Diana Ruiz, who's walking down the road, and he says,

602
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: according to the conversation with his dad, he asked her

603
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 2: for directions. She gets near, he pulls her in and

604
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 2: chokes her while he's driving. How difficult is it to

605
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 2: choke somebody, Joe while you're driving?

606
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, exactly, And you're taking this woman by surprise.

607
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: And isn't that interesting that point in and of itself

608
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: where you're going to reach over and do I want

609
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: to use the word spontaneously here, Dave, I don't know.

610
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: It kind of escapes it escapes me. Was it planned?

611
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: Because can we go back to Christine just for a second, Yeah,

612
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: because I was thinking about this. In order for riger

613
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: to have set in in Christine's body, we're talking hours day.

614
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what I was going to ask. I made

615
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: a note here because I don't know.

616
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have. It would have. It would have

617
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 1: taken hours. Now, whether or not she was in full

618
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: riger at that point in time, I have no idea.

619
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: But this person apparently had an awareness that there was

620
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: rigidity present, so it was appreciable. So he's saying that

621
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: he could not manipulate her body to the point where

622
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: he could get the body in the trunk. Okay, So

623
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: with that said, he decides to steal the car. Well,

624
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: he's in there ruminating over this as he's in this

625
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: poor woman's space, the space that she's created that's supposed

626
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: to be you know, her home safe, home at home safe,

627
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: and he's I think about this, and I'm thinking, well,

628
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: is he getting so angry over the fact that a

629
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: natural biological process is taking place and it's inconveniencing him. Yeah,

630
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: let me steal this car and go out and find

631
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: somebody else that I can exact my anger upon, or

632
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: exact my revenge upon, for the way the world has

633
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: treated me. And I'm going to end this forty two

634
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: year old mother's life with my bare hands. Oh and

635
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: by the bye, I think, I think what I want

636
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: to do is completely and totally eradicate her, rip her

637
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: to shreds, drive back and forth over her body. By

638
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: the way, with the vehicle he has stolen from a

639
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: woman that he is just murdered, I can tell you

640
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: this though, there has been a day of reckoning as

641
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: far as Wade Wilson is concerned, because whether or not

642
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: he gets the death penalty or not, he's never walking

643
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 1: out of the Florida State Penitentiary. I'm Joseph Scott Morgan,

644
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 1: and this is bodybags
