1 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm Kate Winkler Dawson. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 2: I'm a journalist who's spent the last twenty five years 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 2: writing about true crime. 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 3: And I'm Paul Hols, a retired cold case investigator who's 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 3: worked some of America's most complicated cases and solve them. 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 2: Each week, I present Paul with one of history's most 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 2: compelling true crimes. 8 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 3: And I weigh in using modern forensic techniques to bring 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 3: new insights to old mysteries. 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: Together, using our individual expertise, we're examining historical true crime 11 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: cases through a twenty first century lens. 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 3: Some are solved and some are cold, very cold. 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: This is buried bones. 14 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,319 Speaker 3: Hey, Kate, how are you? 15 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm doing well? How about you? 16 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 3: I am I'm hanging in there good. 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: I have a big decision. Maybe you can help me 18 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 2: make it. I have a big decision to make. 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 3: Oh okay. 20 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: I am considering getting contacts and I've never ever had 21 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: contacts before. And I have friends who fall asleep accidentally 22 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 2: with their contacts on, and it's like a horror scene 23 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 2: and they're crying and it's awful, and I'm scared. I 24 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 2: know many men of a certain age need to get glasses, 25 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 2: and you don't have them, and then I just found 26 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 2: out you have contacts. 27 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 3: What do you mean in a certain age put one 28 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: of my feet in the grave. No, that's you know. Yeah, 29 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 3: you know, I had perfect vision up until really maybe 30 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: my early forties to mid forties, and then ultimately had 31 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: to wear glasses. And then after I retired and quite 32 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 3: frankly having to do some of the TV work that 33 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: I did, wearing glasses became problematic. Yeah, you know, because 34 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: editors are constantly having to sink different edits up, and 35 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: you know, I'm constantly taking my glasses off and on. 36 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 3: And I did a show it was DNA of Murder. 37 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: I did an episode with Lonnie Coombs, who also wears glasses. 38 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 3: But you know, we would have to put glasses on 39 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 3: to look at this laptop screen that was sitting in 40 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 3: front of us for the segment, and then when we 41 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 3: would talk to each other, we're constantly taking our glasses off, 42 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 3: and so we're constantly putting glasses on and off and 43 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 3: driving the editor's nuts. And then I recognized I needed 44 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 3: to man up and get contacts. And I have always 45 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 3: been scared to touch my eyes. That is the one 46 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: thing I can't handle. 47 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: That's a phobia. 48 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a phobia or not. I 49 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 3: know it's something that I just did not want to do, 50 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: you know, And I have seen the most horrific things, 51 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: but like when I'm in the morgue, the one thing 52 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 3: I will not watch is when the pathologist needs to 53 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 3: interact with the deceased's eyes. I don't like that. So 54 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: getting contacts was scary. It took me a while to 55 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: learn how to take the contacts out. Putting them in 56 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 3: was pretty easy, but taking them out was hard. In fact, 57 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: I had to go in to my optometrist one morning 58 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 3: to get them out because I couldn't. I kindn't figure 59 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: it out. I was so scared that I just go 60 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 3: so hard that my eyeball would be rolling around in 61 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: the sink when I was done. But eventually it becomes routine. 62 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything you need to be scared of. 63 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: I have slept through the night with my contacts in. 64 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 3: There's just soft contacts, just these dailies, and your eyes 65 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 3: do get scratchy, but I also find they kind of 66 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 3: dry out and that makes it easier in the morning 67 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: to be able to pull them out. So I really 68 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: haven't had any nightmare scenario. Once a contact kind of 69 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 3: floated up above the eyelid and I had to fish 70 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: it out. 71 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: Paul, you have to stop. This is all nightmare. You're 72 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: not helping me one little bit. 73 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: But the convenience, you know, I will say, it is 74 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 3: nice to be able to go through the day without, 75 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 3: you know, carrying my glasses around, putting them on if 76 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: I want to look at my phone or you know, 77 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: just read something on the computer screen. So the convenience 78 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 3: is there. The weird thing with my prescription is I've 79 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: got what's called monovision, So my my left eye has 80 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 3: the prescription to allow me to look at the computer 81 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 3: screen and see it clearly, and my right eye is 82 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 3: for distance, and so both eyes. When you're looking through 83 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 3: both eyes at the same time, it's a little weird 84 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 3: and the brain kind of adjusts. So if I look 85 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 3: like if I want to look at the mountains, you know, 86 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: it's my right eye that pass focus. And what I'm 87 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 3: having to look at you on the computer screen right now, 88 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 3: it's my left eye, whereas my right eye you're just fuzzy. 89 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 2: Well, I have to wear my old glasses when I 90 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 2: look at you on my computer screen because my new 91 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 2: glasses that are progressive. You're just at the worst angle, 92 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 2: like you're too close for me to be on my 93 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 2: close ups and too far away. 94 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: It's really confusing. 95 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 2: So I am considering. I mean, I'm on the computer 96 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: all the time. I do a lot of sort of 97 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: like back and forth television type stuff, and the glare 98 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: of my glasses bothers me, and so I am thinking 99 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: about it. 100 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: But I might have a little bit of that fear. 101 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: I don't have a problem getting like an eyelash out 102 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 2: of my kid's eye, but I do have a hard 103 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: time thinking that contacts are going to be okay. 104 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 1: But I'm not sure you've helped. But it's more. 105 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: Information, I guess you and your dried out contacts. 106 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 3: You know, all I can do is provide data and 107 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: you have to make the decision yourself. 108 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: Your lack of sympathy is is a parent here? Well, 109 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: I'll let you know. 110 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: Well, I guess you'll be one of the first to know, 111 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: because all of a sudden I won't be wearing my 112 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 2: glasses and you'll be like, what happened? 113 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 3: I know? 114 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: So I'm excited. Big changes ahead, big changes. That's about 115 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 2: as dramatic as my life gets contacts, no context. 116 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to seeing you glassless Yep. 117 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: Well, I'll let you know. 118 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: Well, I want to get into this story because it 119 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: is I think interesting when people are trying to cover 120 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 2: up a crime. And I think I've told you this, 121 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: you know, I interviewed a forensic chemist and we talked 122 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: about fire and how people think some magic thing happens 123 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: when you pour gasoline on someone and light it in 124 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: that it's going to completely, you know, solve all their 125 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: problems and the body is going to dissolve and that's it. 126 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: And it's not that easy to cover up a crime, 127 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 2: not as easy as you would think. And this is 128 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: I think an interesting sort of way and a disturbing 129 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: story at the same time. So you'll have to tell 130 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: me what you think about all this. You know, it's 131 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: a story set in the eighteen hundreds, in late eighteen 132 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: hundreds in upstate New York. So let's set the scene. 133 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 2: So trigger warning here. This is involving the sexual assault 134 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 2: and the murder of a child, a fourteen year old girl. 135 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 2: This is in plain Field, New York. And this is 136 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: about ten years after the end of the Civil War, 137 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: late eighteen hundreds, so eighteen seventy eight and playing field 138 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 2: is right in the middle of the state and we 139 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: are in a farm setting, and straight away I'm going 140 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: to ask you about farm settings because in our experience, 141 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: farm settings mean it's easy, seemingly pretty easy to get 142 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: away with stuff. Because in the eighteen hundreds farm settings, 143 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: these are people who live miles away. It's very isolated, 144 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: there are weapons everywhere. Oftentimes women are left alone because 145 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: the men go off and go into the fields. And 146 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 2: this makes I think people pretty vulnerable. And then the 147 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: flip side is, well, you would think they're safer, they're 148 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: not in a big city. Bad things aren't happening. I 149 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: feel like for us, a farm setting sometimes is challenging. 150 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 3: What do you think, Well, when you think about you know, 151 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 3: this is a limited witness pool. The low density population 152 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 3: would allow an a fender to go and commit a crime, 153 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 3: whether it be outside or inside. And your visual witnesses, 154 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: your audio witnesses. You know, because of the distances between 155 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: the farms, it's almost by happenstance that somebody that a 156 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 3: witness might be present to either see or hear the 157 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: crime being committed. If the offender is planning the crime appropriately, 158 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 3: so that does create challenges. And when we start talking 159 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: about this era, you know, it's not like if somebody 160 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: discovers that a crime has been committed, that law enforcement 161 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: can be notified right away. So the offender has so 162 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 3: much time and geography in order to be able to 163 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 3: escape unnoticed and separate himself from that location. 164 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: And on top of that, the law enforcement that is 165 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 2: there in the late eighteen hundreds in a smaller, quiet 166 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: area rule, they're not going to be experienced most of 167 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 2: the time in investigating these big cases though, and you know, 168 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: could take them forever to bring in somebody who's more 169 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: experienced from a bigger city, which often would happen. So 170 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: they're at a big disadvantage. And on top of that, 171 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: remember the whole bell ringing that was the emergency, as 172 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: they would ring almost like a dinner bell, and then 173 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: the neighbors would come running, and the neighbors are picking 174 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: up axes and trampling over footprints and shoe prints, and 175 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: so there's just so much opportunity for your right the 176 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: person to disappear into the woods. 177 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: I feel like we are. 178 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: Already at a disadvantage. Every single time we talk about 179 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: a murder in the eighteen hundreds in a farm setting, 180 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: so already it makes me nervous. 181 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: No, for sure, you know, but we have to work 182 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 3: with what we've got. 183 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: So there are three men who are involved here. There 184 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 2: are two farm hands. One is a twenty year old 185 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: named Myron Beele one is a thirty two year old 186 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: named Daniel Bowen, and they're both, you know, farm hands, 187 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: laborers on the farm. And the owner of the farm 188 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: is a man named William Richards. He's married and he 189 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 2: has as a daughter. We're going to focus right now 190 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 2: on Myron because he is one of the people who 191 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 2: makes a pretty bad discovery here. So Myron is the 192 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 2: twenty year old. A little bit of background on him. 193 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: He was born on a farm in playing Field, so 194 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: local boy. And if you're born on a farm, it's 195 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 2: not predictive of, you know, whether you're going to be 196 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 2: a big, burly guy or not. I guess just your 197 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 2: stature is your stature, and you do the best you 198 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 2: can on a farm. 199 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: And that's what his lot was in life. 200 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and I imagine you know, with the 201 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 3: type of hard labor that Myron is doing, regardless of 202 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: his stature, you know, he's probably developed a fair amount 203 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 3: of just functional strength. And he could be somebody who's 204 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 3: my size, which is kind of like the average male 205 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 3: size here in the United States, or he could be 206 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 3: a much larger guy, or even a much smaller guy. 207 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 3: But he likely has pretty decent functional strength. He may 208 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 3: not look very strong. It's not like, you know, he's 209 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 3: consuming protein shakes and you know, developing. You know, you 210 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 3: know a lot of this muscle hypertrophy from doing the 211 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 3: heavy lifting on the farm. But I guarantee that he's 212 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 3: probably fairly physically capable. 213 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 2: You know, when I was twelve or thirteen and I 214 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: was on my dad's farm, which I talk about sometimes, 215 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 2: he had. 216 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: Me doing all kinds of manual labor. 217 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 2: He would bring over bales of hay on a tractor 218 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: and I would grab them, you know, with their twine, 219 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 2: with big gloves on, and throw them up onto a pile. 220 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 2: And I would climb on the top of the pile 221 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: and he would throw up, you know, a hey bail 222 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: and I would grab it. 223 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: And I was young. 224 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: I was twelve or thirteen, and I was perfectly capable 225 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 2: of doing that. So I think growing up on a 226 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 2: ranch that my dad taught me how to cut wood, 227 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: and you know I used an axe from a very 228 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: young age, and I painted I would just say miles 229 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: of fences. Even though I'm sure I didn't look particularly burly, 230 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: I definitely had functional strength. So when we described Myron 231 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 2: as a boy or youthful looking, I definitely don't want 232 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 2: to discount the fact that this is somebody who has 233 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: been working now for two seasons, two years on mister 234 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 2: Richard's farm. So he has had a great reputation. He 235 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: was a hard worker, He could tackle all sorts of 236 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: tasks very smart. And right now this is interesting. These 237 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: are farmhands who are hoeing hops. What do you know 238 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 2: about hops? Because the only thing I can think about 239 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: with hops is of course beer. Are there any other 240 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: things that you know about hops? You have a quizzical 241 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 2: look on your face. They're an anti inflammatory. 242 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 3: I know that my perspective, I've looked into how beer 243 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 3: is made, and so I remember kind of reading about hops, 244 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 3: and so that really is my only I don't even 245 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 3: want to say that it's a knowledge base. I'm just 246 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 3: more aware that of how hops are used, and of 247 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: course when you drink beer or it's got a hoppy taste. 248 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 3: But from what I remember is that this is a 249 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 3: very fast growing plant that grows up like lines, and 250 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 3: then these wires you know, that are then it's like 251 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 3: a Trellis system and now you've got you know, the 252 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 3: actual is it the flower? I think it's the flower 253 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 3: that is collected. So in terms of hoeing up the hops, 254 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 3: it almost sounds like this is the ground preparation, you know, 255 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 3: to grow the hops or you know, at the end 256 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: of the season, where now they're having to take down 257 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 3: the plants and then get the ground ready to replant 258 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: for the next season. 259 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 2: Well, and what I thought was interesting is I assumed beer, 260 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 2: and I'm sure it was beer, but at the same time, 261 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: I didn't know that it was used medicinally by a 262 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 2: lot of different cultures, that Native Americans had used it 263 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 2: for a whole host of reasons, sleep, ladder problems, anxiety, 264 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: fever like, breast and womb problems, and it sounded almost 265 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 2: like a sedative, which I thought was interesting in a 266 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: murder story, that there are these two young guys out 267 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: there hoeing hops on this man's farm and we know 268 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 2: that a murder is coming, we. 269 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: Just don't know what. 270 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, kind of curious to see where this goes. 271 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: Yep, so hops, there you go, one of those things 272 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 2: I never think about. Of course, hops need to be hoed. 273 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: I've never thought of it before. But that's just to reiterate. 274 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: These are two strong guys out there. So Myron and Daniel, 275 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: who is his coworker, are winding down for the day, 276 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: and they notice and this is in June, just to 277 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: remind everybody, this is June twenty fifth of eighteen seventy eight, 278 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 2: so I'm. 279 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: Sure a warm day. 280 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: And the two of them are winding down and they 281 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: notice that there is a bull running a muck on 282 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: the property, which would be alarming as someone who grew 283 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: up around bulls and currently has bulls on their property. 284 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: It's a little it's a little frightening. I'm probably somebody's 285 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: going to say, don't be frightened by bulls, but it's 286 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 2: hard not to be. Have you encountered a bull? I 287 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: know about the bear, but I don't know about a bull. 288 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: Hold. I didn't know yet bulls on your property on 289 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 3: the well. 290 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 2: Not in Austin, on the farm, on the family farm, 291 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 2: we have cows and bulls and cute little story. My 292 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 2: kids are in love with this donkey. You know, donkeys 293 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: need to have companion animals, and her companion animal is 294 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: a goat, okay, who is a little creepy. 295 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: I have to be honest. 296 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 2: I mean, the goat stares at me in a way 297 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: that the bull stares at me, But the donkey stares 298 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 2: at me in love with love. So that's why I'm 299 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: drawn to the donkey. It's a complicated ecosystemat this farm. 300 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: I'm learning all sorts of things. You're throwing bails of hair. 301 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 2: I know, I'm a complicated woman, I will say. So. 302 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 2: There's a bull running amok. This would have been frightening 303 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: for these two guys. They told each other kind of within, 304 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: trying to stay back and make sure they're not going 305 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 2: to get hurt, that the bull must have escaped from 306 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 2: one of the nearby barns on the property. And Myron 307 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 2: runs and immediately tries to wrangle the bull, and in 308 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 2: the meantime, Daniel, the other farm hand, rushes toward the barn. 309 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: He throws open the doors to the barn to figure 310 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 2: out out where this bull came from, and inside the 311 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: pen he finds something that he says is absolutely terrifying. 312 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 2: It's the dead body of the owners of the farm. 313 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: The Richard's fourteen year old daughter. Her name is Catherine 314 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: Mary Richards. She is dead, she appears to have been mulled, 315 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 2: and she is in the bull's pen. And both of 316 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 2: these young men seemed very alarmed by this. So what 317 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: are your first impressions. I know you want all kinds 318 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: of details, and I have them, but you know, that 319 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: kind of a scene seems on first plus you would 320 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 2: say she got into the bull's pen and he ran 321 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 2: them up, and then you know, somehow got out and 322 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 2: this girl is dead. That would not be I feel 323 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: like out of the realm of possibility. 324 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 3: On a farm. No, you know, and I think that 325 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: that's obviously something that would have to be looked into 326 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: in terms of, you know, her injuries. You know that 327 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 3: there would be some distinctive injuries that would indicate trampling 328 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 3: by the bull, possibly being impaled by the bulls horns, 329 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 3: and evaluating is there anything about the injuries to indicate 330 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 3: that they were fresh or do you have post mortem aspects? 331 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 3: You know, this is where I know we're going to 332 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 3: be talking about a homicide. And so is this part 333 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: of staging a crime scene where you put a dead 334 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 3: body into the pen with the bull and then now 335 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 3: you agitate the bull, so it's now stomping round inside 336 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: the pen in order to put some false injuries on 337 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 3: the body before the bull is allowed out. So I 338 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 3: am interested in the details. But my initial thought, you know, 339 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 3: of course, is what kind of staging is going on 340 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 3: with Catherine Well? 341 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: And I have a query about how you would investigate 342 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 2: something like this today. Let's say that the injuries to her, 343 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: let's say it's just blunt force right like that, it 344 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 2: looks like she's been beaten to death or stepped on 345 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: her maull whatever that could possibly have happened by a bull. 346 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: What would they do to tease that out? 347 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: Would they be looking for like organic material from the 348 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 2: bulls horns or from the hoofs to determine whether it 349 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: happened from a bull or whether it happened from a 350 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: piece of water or somebody's fists. If the injuries could 351 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: kind of be consistent. 352 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 3: Well, you know, first and foremost, this is where it 353 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 3: really comes down to very thorough documentation, because at the scene, 354 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 3: with this type of blunt force trauma, it could be 355 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 3: a very bloody scene. A lot of the actual injuries, 356 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 3: the wounds may not be readily visible until the body 357 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 3: is cleaned up. But the idea of let's say layered injuries, 358 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 3: where you have a homicide with blunt force trauma using 359 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 3: whether it be fists and stomping or an impact weapon 360 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 3: of some sort a hammer, a baseball bat, and then 361 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 3: now you have a two thousand plus pound animal stomping 362 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 3: on that body, it could very easily complicate the interpretation 363 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 3: of what happened, and so the devil would be in 364 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 3: the details, and it really would depend on, well, what 365 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 3: is present that could differentiate post mortem damage by this 366 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: large animal versus violence inflicted by a human. And it's 367 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: not necessarily just the injuries to the bodies. It's what's 368 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 3: going on with the clothing, It's what's going on within 369 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 3: the crime scene. Is there a secondary crime scene? Obviously 370 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 3: if there's blood in the house, that's on the property, 371 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 3: and now Catherine's body is in this bullpen, well, obviously 372 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 3: the bull isn't inside the house doing it, that would 373 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 3: be a clue, you know. But you know, it really 374 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 3: depends on what is present, and it would be so 375 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 3: easy to miss maybe that little detail that would differentiate 376 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 3: homicide from accidental stomping by the bull. 377 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: Well, let's continue. 378 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: Daniel is petrified at this. Myron runs up and is 379 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: very upset also, and the two men go to the 380 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: farmhouse to alert others, except that Catherine's mother and father 381 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: are away from the farm, Mister Richards is in another 382 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 2: town doing business, and Missus Richards is in a store 383 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 2: across the county. So the only one who's there is 384 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: a woman who is Catherine's sister, Maggie. There happens to 385 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 2: also be a seamstress who joins up with them and 386 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 2: accompanies the men and they go back to the barn. 387 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 2: Maggie is in complete shock and says to the farm hands, 388 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: how did Catherine die? And Myron says, we assume it 389 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: was from the bull because she was found in the 390 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 2: bull's pen and the bull was running around. And people 391 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: get kicked all the time. Little something about me, Paul. 392 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 2: I've been kicked by a horse numerous times. 393 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: One I was. 394 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: Taught by a farrier how to clean a horse's hoofs 395 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 2: and I just made a bad decision about where to 396 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: go and I got kicked. And it hurts, It has 397 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,959 Speaker 2: a huge bruise. It can kill people, you know, if 398 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 2: you're not standing in the right place. And I was 399 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 2: not standing in the right place a couple of times, 400 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 2: and I learned a lesson. So when I read the 401 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 2: details of you know, potentially, is this going to be 402 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 2: something that a bull did, I didn't think this was 403 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 2: going to be surprising at all. Plenty of people died 404 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 2: from both bulls and horses. When mister and missus Richards 405 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 2: come home and they're told what happens, they don't seem 406 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 2: that surprised, not because you know, they weren't upset, but 407 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 2: that is what happens sometimes. Is we've talked about living 408 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 2: on a farm, this spreads across the community and it's 409 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: you know, really seen as a tragic death at this point, 410 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 2: and the bullet explanation is very plausible to just about 411 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 2: everybody who hears about it, except our very smart corner. 412 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: And we've talked about corners before, how they are elected. 413 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 2: They don't always have to be they don't many times 414 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: don't have medical knowledge. I will tell you in a 415 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 2: season of tenfold, We're Wicked, I deal with a coroner 416 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 2: who became a corner because he owned a very popular 417 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: tavern and people thought he would make a great corner. 418 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: So we happen to have a smart one. Thank goodness here, 419 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 2: But let's just review corners right now for us. 420 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, you know, of course, in our current day, 421 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 3: we have both corners as well as medical examiners. Depending 422 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 3: on the state and jurisdiction, the corners can either be 423 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 3: elected officials or a combined official like I used to 424 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 3: work for a sheriff corner office, so the elected sheriff 425 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 3: was actually the corner as well, but he wasn't involved 426 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 3: in the day to day aspects of the coroner's operations. 427 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 3: There was a captain that was assigned, and the pathologists 428 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 3: were the ones that conduct the autopsy and determine cause 429 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 3: of death, and then the captain would be the one 430 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 3: that issues the decertificate with the manner of death based 431 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 3: on what a through medical doctor determined. However, in jurisdictions 432 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 3: across the United States back in the eighteen hundreds as 433 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: well as still today, there are elected corners, and oftentimes 434 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 3: they became quarters because they were funeral home directors, so 435 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 3: they were used to seeing and working with the deceased, 436 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 3: but they're not medical professionals. In some jurisdictions, the individuals 437 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 3: conducting the autopsies have limited expertise relative to other jurisdictions 438 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 3: and the pathologists that have been hired there. So this 439 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 3: is where now you get into, you know, situations to 440 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 3: where things get missed on all fronts, whether it be 441 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 3: a homicide and accidental and natural suicide. You know, these 442 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 3: can be missed because you don't have the people with 443 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 3: the right experience or expertise conducting the examinations and then 444 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 3: forming the right expert opinions. 445 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: What is the solution to that nationwide, Well. 446 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 3: It's a complicated answer. There has been recommendations over the 447 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 3: years that the coroner's system should be abolished and it 448 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 3: should move entirely over to medical examiners, where now you 449 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 3: have true medical professionals that are not only the ones 450 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 3: that are conducting the examinations on the deceased, whether it 451 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 3: be the autopsies or the microscopic exams, or reviewing the 452 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 3: toxicology results and forming a medical expert opinion as to 453 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 3: the cause of death. And then you have a medical professional, 454 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 3: the medical examiner himself, who's the one that is issuing 455 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 3: the death certificate as to the manner of death. But 456 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 3: there's complications with that. Of course. Now you're having to 457 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 3: completely change a system in which you have a very 458 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 3: powerfully elected official that's not going to want to give 459 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 3: up that power. And there's a democratic aspect to that. 460 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 3: There's statutes in place that would have to be recodified. 461 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 3: And then there's costs involved, huge costs in terms of 462 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 3: if you're going to become a medical examiner's office, and 463 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 3: let's say you want to abide by accreditation standards, there's 464 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 3: a maximum number of autopsies that a forensic pathologist within 465 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 3: an accredited medical examiner's office can do. And in order 466 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 3: to meet that standard, so you can become an accredited 467 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 3: medical examiner's office, oftentimes you have to double or triple 468 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 3: the number of pathologists that you have employed. The pathologists 469 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 3: are expensive and they're rare. In fact, we have a 470 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 3: dilemma because there's very few medical professionals that want to 471 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 3: become forensic pathologists. Really, yes, you know, so it's a 472 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 3: tough thing to find and hire forensic pathologists. And so 473 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 3: now what you see and what happened in my county 474 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 3: is you have contract pathologists and so they under contract 475 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 3: work for a county, but they often work for multiple counties, 476 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 3: so they not only do autopsies for one county, and 477 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 3: then they will get in their car and drive to 478 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 3: another county and have to do more autopsies and then 479 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 3: you know, and so they're stretched thin. So there's a 480 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 3: lot of resources, money changes that would have to be 481 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 3: made in order to fix the system. 482 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know the background of this coroner from 483 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 2: eighteen seventy eight looking at Kafa and Mary Richards when 484 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 2: he's doing an autopsy or an examination, but he is 485 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 2: calling BS on this whole bull story. So I'll tell 486 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 2: you what he says, and I don't have a ton 487 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 2: of details, Paul, We're just gonna have to trust that 488 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 2: he clearly knows what he's doing. He says she's covered 489 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 2: in scratches and bruises that he doesn't think are consistent 490 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 2: with a bull. He says she was hit near the 491 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: temple with some sort of blunt object. He does not 492 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 2: think that it was a gore from a bull's horns 493 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 2: or stomping. She had heavy marks around her neck that 494 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 2: appear to have been made by some sort of ligature. 495 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: So this idea that the bull did all this, of course, 496 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 2: gets flown out the window. And he said it seems 497 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 2: clear that she died of strangulation. So the question of 498 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 2: where the other crime scene is is it doesn't seem like. 499 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: There is one. 500 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 2: There is a young girl in a bullpen with the 501 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 2: gate open who has appeared to be strangled. So the 502 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 2: corner says, this is murder, This was struggle, she fought hard, 503 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 2: and this is not a bull and now we need 504 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 2: to investigate. So what do you think about all that 505 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 2: seems pretty clear? 506 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, they got lucky. If the corner is taking 507 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 3: a look and sees ligature marks encircling Catherine's neck, a 508 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 3: bull isn't doing that by stomping and bucking around inside 509 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,239 Speaker 3: that pen. So now there still has to be an 510 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 3: evaluation of what else is going on with Catherine's body 511 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: in terms of what can be attributed to the bull 512 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 3: versus what is not, but also an evaluation of this 513 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 3: bull pen as a crime scene itself. How did the 514 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 3: bull escape? Was it purposely let out? Does it indicate 515 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 3: that the bull became agitated and just somehow broke out 516 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 3: of the pen. And if it looks like the bull 517 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 3: must have been purposely led out, well who would do that? 518 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 3: Why would they do that? And this is where your 519 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 3: investigation starts going. And this is now having to talk 520 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 3: to Okay, so when was Catherine last seen? Who was 521 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 3: she last seen? With the people who are on this 522 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 3: isolated farm, they need to account for all of their 523 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 3: activities over the course of the last twenty four hours. 524 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 3: And right now I have no information when Catherine was 525 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 3: last seen, so I don't know how long she's been dead. 526 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 3: Was she killed the day before and she's just now 527 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 3: being discovered, or was she killed that morning? 528 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 2: Well, the parents and the sister saw her that day, 529 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,479 Speaker 2: and again huge farm, and everybody did different things on 530 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 2: this farm, and the parents left, the farm hands saw 531 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 2: her that day. 532 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: This is near the end of the day. 533 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 2: And one more piece of medical evidence that is very important. 534 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 2: The coroner says it appears she had been sexually assaulted, 535 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 2: either just before or just after her death. Now do 536 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 2: I have details on what that means and how they 537 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 2: came to that conclusion. No, Why do I think that 538 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 2: he probably knew what he was talking about. If they 539 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 2: gave evidence that they said this is somebody who has 540 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: definitely been sexually assaulted, it means they probably found fluid 541 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 2: and definitely disheveled clothing and probably trauma to the vaginal 542 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 2: area or a different area. But this was not been 543 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: a microscope era at this point where we would have 544 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 2: had a coroner being able to look at different things 545 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 2: under the microscope. But he said he is certain she's 546 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 2: been sexually assaulted. So there's part of your motive right there. 547 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: It seems like. 548 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 3: No, no for sure. And you know, any time I'm 549 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 3: dealing with a female victim that's been strangled, you know, 550 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 3: there always has to be that mindset that sexual motivation 551 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 3: was part of the contributing factors to the crime. Whether 552 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 3: or not sex acts were accomplished doesn't negate the idea 553 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 3: that it's a sexually motivated crime. You're exactly right in 554 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 3: terms of back in this era, they're looking at her 555 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 3: state of clothing. You know, was she let's say nude 556 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 3: from the waisted down, Was her body left in a 557 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 3: splayed type of position. Was there trauma to the genital 558 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 3: area or other parts of her body that would indicate 559 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 3: some sort of sex acts had occurred, And then the 560 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 3: idea they you know, during autopsy, sometimes not all the time, 561 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 3: there can be a visualization of let's say, semen within 562 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 3: the vaginal vault. As an example, they're not necessarily doing 563 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 3: a formal identification of it, but a corner pathologist would say, 564 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 3: this substance is not something that is native to this 565 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 3: female body. 566 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 2: One thing I want to talk about because these words 567 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 2: will come up a little bit, and I know I've 568 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 2: said this before. You know, of course they didn't say 569 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,959 Speaker 2: rape or sexual assault in the eighteen hundreds. Oftentimes, if 570 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 2: you read in the eighteen hundreds of newspapers or in documents, 571 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 2: if you see outrage, he outraged her, that sexual assault, 572 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 2: molest which seems a little clearer, is also want. But 573 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 2: the third one that pops up a couple of times 574 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 2: in this story is ravish, So you know, he ravished her. 575 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 2: And actually, my kid was just reading nineteen eighty four 576 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 2: and she said to me, Winston, who's one of the 577 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 2: main characters of nineteen eighty four, you know, George Orwill's book, 578 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 2: says he wants to ravish this woman. 579 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: And she said, what does that even mean? 580 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 2: And then I had to have a discussion with her 581 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 2: about what that meant, and she was very confused about 582 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 2: the words. So, you know, oftentimes we have to explain 583 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 2: what these words are because I'll read verbatim some of 584 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 2: the things that were said. 585 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: So just so you're clear, yeah. 586 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 3: You well, I had never heard the term outrage used 587 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 3: in that fashion, you know, so that's very educational. Yep. 588 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 2: Well, this is interesting the way this moves forward because 589 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 2: the coroner's declaration that this was murder alarms everyone. This 590 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 2: is a young girl, you know, from a family of farmers. 591 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 2: This is an innocent area. This is rural. Everybody's supposed 592 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 2: to be safe, all of the stuff that we think 593 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 2: comes with living on a farm. And now people are 594 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 2: scared to death about who is out there, and they 595 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 2: immediately start asking, of course, about alibis, which on a 596 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 2: farm is really hard. These are people who work independently, 597 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 2: who are oftentimes not seen for you know, days and 598 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 2: days at a time. 599 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: I mean you and I. 600 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 2: If you have to think back to the beginning of 601 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: Barry Bones, one of our very first episodes was about 602 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 2: a young man who fell from the top of a windmill. 603 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 3: Remember I am remembering that people hadn't. 604 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 2: Seen him for a long time. He was up there 605 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 2: by himself, working on a windmill, and then his uncle 606 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 2: comes back and he's dead at the bottom. And the 607 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 2: big question is was he murdered? Because he had some inheritance, 608 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 2: and so it is a mystery because you've got the 609 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 2: outside where there's a nightmare for forensics. You know, you've 610 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 2: got people are who are working in very isolated conditions, 611 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 2: very far apart, and so when they're asking these farm 612 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 2: hands where were you when she might have been murdered? 613 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: The timelines are a little bit squishy. So Myron is 614 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 2: someone they look at pretty closely. He's the twenty year old, 615 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 2: and he was actually absent during a key window of 616 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 2: time here when they believe she was killed. She was 617 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 2: warm when the coroner reported out there. He went pretty quickly, 618 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 2: it sounds like, so they know it happened that people 619 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 2: saw her in the early afternoon and she's dead before 620 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 2: the sun goes down. So Myron is kind of under 621 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 2: suspicion at the beginning because they're trying to figure out 622 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 2: what his timeline is. His co worker Daniel says that 623 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 2: while they were out tending to the hops, Myron said 624 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,479 Speaker 2: that his boots were giving him some blisters. He went 625 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 2: to the farmhouse to grab a new pair of boots, 626 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 2: but that should have been pretty quick and he didn't 627 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 2: return for forty five minutes. And when Daniel says where 628 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 2: were you, he says that he was wrangling a cult 629 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 2: and a mare that had busted out of a nearby stable, 630 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 2: which is a totally valid alibi. I mean, we are 631 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 2: talking about unexpected things that are happening. I was backed 632 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 2: up against a tree for about twenty five minutes because 633 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 2: a water moccasin was sitting in front of me and 634 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 2: I was petrified. So I would not have had a 635 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 2: good alibi either if that were happening. 636 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 1: And that's what Myron says. Try to prove me wrong. 637 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 3: So a couple things. Myron is isolating himself back to 638 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 3: the farmhouse. So is this where I'm presuming where Catherine 639 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:43,760 Speaker 3: was likely located at. 640 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 2: They aren't sure just yet, okay, because she is wandering 641 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 2: around doing different things. Also, she was a really big 642 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 2: fan of playing. 643 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: With the calves. 644 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 2: Remember she's fourteen, she's young, yep, and she likes to 645 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 2: play with the calves. So nobody knows one hundred percent 646 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 2: where she was when this happened. That's the problem. 647 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 3: And then the second thing is is Myron to account 648 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 3: for why it took him so long? Is he's having 649 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,919 Speaker 3: to wrangle these other animals that had broken out, and 650 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 3: Catherine is found because a bull reportedly breaks out, which 651 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 3: we know is a truthful and factual occurrence. You know, 652 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 3: so this is where Okay, So how often are the 653 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 3: animals breaking out on this farmhouse? Or is Myron doing 654 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 3: what typical liars do? Is he weaving some truth some 655 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 3: fact into his statement? So those are things that I'm 656 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,479 Speaker 3: paying attention to in evaluating Myrins. So if he's going 657 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 3: back to the farmhouse, he's isolated, Okay, in my mind, 658 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 3: he's checking a box of he potentially has opportunity to 659 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 3: commit the crime. What was Myron and Catherine's relationship like 660 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 3: prior to the homicide occurring? Do we know that? 661 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: Funny? You should ask Paul Holes. 662 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 2: Oh, things get pretty complicated because of Myron. The investigators 663 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 2: of course find out that his alibi is as I say, squishy, 664 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 2: and they start talking to people about Myron and his 665 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 2: relationship if there even is one with Catherine. So Myron's 666 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 2: been there. I think he's going on his third season 667 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 2: now seasonal work as a farm hand. So probably the 668 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 2: first time he met Catherine would have been when she 669 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 2: was about eleven or twelve. It sounds like, according to 670 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 2: Daniel and according to other people who have been around 671 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 2: them both that he was infatuated with Catherine. So six 672 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 2: years his junior, which would not be that surprising if 673 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 2: she felt the same way, and she didn't, fourteen and 674 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 2: twenty wouldn't have shocked anybody in the eighteen hundreds. Really, 675 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 2: So Catherine did not like his advances he had proposed 676 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 2: to her. She said, no, I'm sure her father was 677 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,359 Speaker 2: not thrilled about it either. He reacted inappropriately. According to 678 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 2: Murder by Gaslight, which is my favorite true crime Blowe, 679 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 2: he proposed and she said, no, what witnesses, you know, 680 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 2: propriety in the eighteen hundreds. What they said was that 681 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 2: he made improper suggestions that were really distressing for Catherine 682 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 2: to hear, which means lewde comments and Catherine was really 683 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,720 Speaker 2: freaked out and said, I'm going to tell my parents 684 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 2: if you don't stop, and so he backed off. So 685 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 2: he was reacting, and this is where we need to 686 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 2: get into profiling. If this is our guy, he's reacting 687 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 2: in a very aggressive, almost verbally right now violent way 688 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,720 Speaker 2: when she's rejecting his advances his boss's daughter. 689 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 3: Well, Myron is checking another box, you know. He is 690 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 3: showing an infatuation or maybe even an obsession with Catherine 691 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 3: for sounds like several years leading up to her homicide. 692 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 3: So this is where, Okay, he's isolated himself. He's given 693 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 3: himself an opportunity to have committed the crime. He has 694 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 3: had a prior interest in Catherine for or a few 695 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 3: years leading up to the crime being committed. When the 696 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 3: bull is seen, Myron is back with Daniel hoeing the hops. 697 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 3: Do we have an idea on how long Myron had 698 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,760 Speaker 3: been with Daniel before the bull shows up. 699 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:18,800 Speaker 1: I don't have that idea. 700 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 2: No, I'm not sure Daniel's really good at figuring out 701 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 2: the timeline. It sounds like he left to get new boots, 702 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 2: and then the bull at some point comes out. It 703 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 2: sounds like Daniel just knew that Myron should have been 704 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 2: back far sooner, and then everything goes out the window 705 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 2: when this bull is running around and both guys are 706 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 2: freaked out. But we know when the bull is running 707 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 2: around that Myron and Daniel are now together because they're 708 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 2: worried about the bull. And that's when Daniel makes the 709 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 2: discovery of Catherine dead and the bull's pin. So that's 710 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 2: the sequence of events. But I don't know timeline wise, 711 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 2: how much time was there. 712 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that'd be one of the things that that 713 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 3: timeframe would be one of the things that I'd be 714 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 3: kind of paying attention to because let's use the hypothetical 715 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 3: that Iron is Catherine's killer, he kills her, places her 716 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 3: in the bullpen, and then leaves the gate open for 717 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 3: the bull to get out. How long would it take 718 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 3: for the bull to either figure out how to get 719 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 3: out or was the bull forced out of the pen? 720 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 3: So now Catherine's body could be discovered in the bullpen 721 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 3: in this staging of a crime scene. And this is 722 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 3: what is so significant to me. Imagine a stranger who's 723 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:31,240 Speaker 3: just wandering through the countryside and stumbles across this farm, 724 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,720 Speaker 3: sees Katherine sexually assaults strangles Catherine. He has no connection 725 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 3: to the farm, He has no connection to the people 726 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 3: on the farm. Why is he going to elevate his 727 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 3: risk by manipulating Catherine's body and taking Catherine's body to 728 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,240 Speaker 3: the bullpen in order to try to stage this crime scene. 729 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 3: That stranger offender is going to run off and get 730 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 3: away and not take that time. So this is where 731 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 3: the staging of the crime scene it really does kind 732 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 3: of focus my attention on the people that would likely 733 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 3: be suspects. They themselves think they would be a suspect. 734 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,760 Speaker 3: They're trying to misdirect, they're trying to cover up this, 735 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 3: this homicide and make it look like a accidental death. 736 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,720 Speaker 3: So again, that is consistent with Myron. I'm not saying 737 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 3: Myron's the guy right now, but you know, Myron has 738 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 3: some explaining to do in my mind. 739 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 2: Tell me what you think about this, because I don't 740 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 2: think Daniel likes Myron very much. He tells investigators when 741 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 2: they say, tell us about this guy. He had a 742 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 2: good reputation as a hard worker on the farm. And 743 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 2: Daniel says that Myron told him something disturbing. Weeks before 744 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 2: Catherine's death. Myron said to Daniel that Myron had a relative, 745 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 2: a male relative. So this is Myron's relative, not Myron 746 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 2: who had Now this. 747 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: Is the quote. 748 00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,800 Speaker 2: This is why I needed to give you some definitions 749 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 2: of rape from the eighteen hundreds. Who had quote succeeded 750 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 2: in outraging girls by choking them with a cord, then 751 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 2: carrying out his intentions while they were partly insensible. So 752 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 2: he's not saying I do this, He's saying, my relative 753 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 2: does that. Why would he do that if he is 754 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 2: guilty of what just happened, And this is before Catherine dies. 755 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 2: But isn't it an odd thing to say? 756 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 3: It is? Though you know, it's not unheard of, you know, 757 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 3: in terms of individuals almost bragging about whether what they've 758 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 3: done or what family members or other associates have done 759 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 3: to a confidant, you know. But this is where, Okay, 760 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 3: we have this statement that Daniel is saying Myron told him, 761 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 3: and of course the details in that statement overlap with 762 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 3: what happened with Catherine. I need to know, well, is 763 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:56,880 Speaker 3: this really factual with a relative of Myrons that I 764 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 3: would assume that Daniel would have no idea about unless 765 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 3: Myron had actually made that statement, Or does Daniel have 766 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 3: somebody in his family who has done that? And so 767 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 3: this is where it's okay, I now have a statement 768 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 3: that's significant, And is Daniel putting that out there because 769 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,320 Speaker 3: Myron truly did say that to him, or is Daniel 770 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 3: putting that out there because he's trying to direct the 771 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 3: investigation and keep the focus of the investigation on Myron. 772 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 3: And if it turns out that Daniel is the one 773 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 3: that has somebody in his family that has done this 774 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 3: type of crime over and over again with women, now 775 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,320 Speaker 3: I start to think, well, maybe Daniel is the one 776 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 3: that is responsible, because there's no reason to do that 777 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:49,840 Speaker 3: misdirection and lie to law enforcement absent using modern technology. 778 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 3: Now this is just gumshoe investigative technique to try to 779 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 3: figure out which one of these guys is the one 780 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 3: that killed Catherine. 781 00:42:58,600 --> 00:42:59,839 Speaker 1: And I have just thinking this. 782 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 2: You know, if they had been able to pen the 783 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 2: semen on because of DNA, and they were able to 784 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,319 Speaker 2: pin in on Daniel or Myron, so then you could 785 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 2: say to one of these guys, this is your evidence 786 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 2: on her. 787 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: Modern day guy would say, yeah, we had sex and 788 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 1: that was it. She agreed, that was it. 789 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 2: I mean, and I left her. I don't know what 790 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,359 Speaker 2: happened to her. She was fine when I left her. 791 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 2: There's no way that response would have been believed in 792 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 2: the eighteen hundreds at all. 793 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,720 Speaker 3: Let me give you physical evidence that would help tease 794 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 3: that out. So in all likelihood, you know, there are 795 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 3: instances where offenders redress their victims, but oftentimes with the 796 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 3: sexually motivated homicides, where the victim like Catherine, is strangled. 797 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 3: The sequence can vary. But let's say she is strangled 798 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 3: contemporaneous to the sexual acts. Now she's placed in the bullpen. 799 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 3: Chances are her undergarments haven't been placed back on her. 800 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 3: So one of the types of physical evidence that I 801 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 3: would be looking at is okay, presuming the corners right, 802 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 3: and there's vaginal semen. After let's say a sexual assault, 803 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 3: the woman redresses, there's vaginal drainage, which now into the 804 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 3: crotch of the underwear. We get that semen into the crotch, 805 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 3: it shows that her clothing had been put back on 806 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:20,439 Speaker 3: after the semen had been deposited internally. So I would 807 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 3: be looking at Catherine's clothing to see, oh, yes, I 808 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 3: see this, whether it be Daniel or Myron semen in 809 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 3: her undergarments, which would indicate the sex act possibly occurred 810 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 3: prior to the homicide, because she was allowed to redress, 811 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,319 Speaker 3: and then you have the vaginal drainage. But if I 812 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 3: don't see that, then it would suggest that her undergarments 813 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 3: had been taken off, the semen had been deposited, and 814 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,880 Speaker 3: she was not allowed to redress or go vertical and 815 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 3: function with these undergarments on. So now this is not 816 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,840 Speaker 3: oh I just had sex with her. This is well, 817 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 3: you had sex with and she never put her underwear 818 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 3: back on, and she's been strangled. There's more to the 819 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 3: story here. 820 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting. Moving forward, we'll just kind of go 821 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 2: through this quickly. He is arrested because he seems like 822 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 2: a jerk, and he says weird, creepy things, and it 823 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 2: sounds like she rejected him. And people knew that there 824 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,840 Speaker 2: is zero physical evidence. They did not find a cord. 825 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,319 Speaker 2: If that's what he used, there was no way to 826 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 2: really pin it on him. And they put him on 827 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 2: trial for ten days, which is just like an epically long. 828 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,280 Speaker 1: Trial from the eighteen hundreds. 829 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 2: And the journalists watch him because he is fascinating to them. 830 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: He seems either puzzled or indifferent. I don't know. 831 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 2: I don't know how journalists think that killers are supposed 832 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 2: to react when they're sitting there listening in their own trial. 833 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 2: But some of the most entertaining things from the eighteen 834 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 2: hundreds I've read as just like the description of these people, 835 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 2: and I kept thinking, well, how would you react if 836 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 2: you're sitting there with all these reporters staring at you 837 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,399 Speaker 2: and the victim's family. There's no right reaction, I think, 838 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 2: from anybody, particularly a guilty person. 839 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 3: Sure, you know, and it is hard to assess. And 840 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 3: you know I've testified, well, I've actually testified close to 841 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 3: two hundred times, but I would say fifty over fifty 842 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 3: times for major felony cases in which you know a 843 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,799 Speaker 3: defendant is looking at a serious charge and how they're 844 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 3: sitting there, I mean, most of them look disengaged. To 845 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:30,799 Speaker 3: be frank, I've seen some, you know, like notably nor 846 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,799 Speaker 3: Cal Rapist, he was very engaged with the testimony. And 847 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 3: then I've also seen I've literally seen what a psychotic 848 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 3: defendant looks like somebody where you walk in you go, oh, yeah, 849 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,760 Speaker 3: he's not here. You know, he mentally has an issue, 850 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 3: and in fact, the judge ultimately in that case, you know, 851 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 3: found the guy incompetent to stand trial. So it is 852 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,919 Speaker 3: so hard to assess, evaluating like Myron's disposition as as 853 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 3: he's standing file for what ultimately, you know, is going 854 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 3: to determine what's going to happen to him for the 855 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,280 Speaker 3: rest of his life or whether he's going to continue 856 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 3: to live. 857 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you, Paul, I mean, I don't know 858 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,600 Speaker 2: if a lot of people know this, but they regularly 859 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 2: drugged defendants during their trials. So you know, I've written 860 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 2: about I would say half a dozen people who were 861 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,359 Speaker 2: given morphine right before the trial. So you cannot look 862 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 2: at him and assess anything in any way possible to 863 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 2: think this is an accurate picture of who this person is. 864 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 2: But Myron really fascinated reporters, and I want to get 865 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 2: to me one of the more interesting parts here, and 866 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 2: we're just going to skip. 867 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: Over the trial. 868 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 2: I mean, really, he is, despite I think a lack 869 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 2: of evidence, he is found guilty. Does that surprise you 870 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 2: or no? I mean there's no evidence against him except 871 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 2: he's a creep and he has no real good alibi. 872 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:51,840 Speaker 2: But I mean that's farm life. 873 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, because I was going to make a 874 00:47:54,600 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 3: comment that though there's some boxes checked on Myron, I 875 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 3: don't think that the investigators, with what you've told me, 876 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 3: have developed sufficient probable cause for a rest. He's a suspect, Daniel, 877 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 3: depending on details about his timelines and his statements and 878 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,280 Speaker 3: everything else, as I discussed before, potentially as a suspect too. 879 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,959 Speaker 3: And that's where it's what we need to figure out. 880 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 3: Is it one of these two or is it mister X, 881 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 3: the stranger who happened to wander onto the property? You know, 882 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 3: So that's where it's like, yeah, you know, Myron probably 883 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 3: has the most boxes checked because of isolating himself. The 884 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:44,439 Speaker 3: statements where you know, he's wrangling these animals that broke 885 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 3: out of their pen and we happen to have a 886 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 3: bull breakout of where the pen where Catherine was found, 887 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,960 Speaker 3: as well as his prior infatuation with Catherine. But this 888 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,879 Speaker 3: doesn't add up enough to where I believe that there's 889 00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:02,480 Speaker 3: probable cause that he can be a rested for Catherine's murder. 890 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 3: He's just suspect number one in my mind. 891 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 2: Well, what's interesting about Myron is this is one of 892 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 2: those cases from the eighteen hundreds that I bring to 893 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 2: you where I look at this and go, there's not 894 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,960 Speaker 2: enough evidence. Just like you said, there's not enough evidence. 895 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,239 Speaker 2: This guy never should have been convicted. He might not 896 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,239 Speaker 2: have done it. Just because he's weird in a creep 897 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 2: and checks some boxes does not mean he should be 898 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,080 Speaker 2: sent to the gallows. And then I read that three 899 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 2: days before his execution, he confesses to all of it, 900 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,279 Speaker 2: very detailed, And that's why I wanted to get to 901 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 2: the confession, because he planned this out. And luckily for 902 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 2: the prosecutors, they got the right person and it doesn't 903 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,720 Speaker 2: seem like it was Daniel or mister Richard's her father 904 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 2: or mystery man X. He gives a detailed confession, but 905 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,799 Speaker 2: this was not I would not say dumb luck that 906 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 2: they got the right person. But well, you know, this 907 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,840 Speaker 2: doesn't happen all the time where it's scant evidence and 908 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 2: they convict and this is definitely the right person because 909 00:49:58,680 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 2: he said, yeah, I did it. 910 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,919 Speaker 1: I'm telling you you I did it, and here's how Yeah. 911 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 3: Well, and this is where it comes down to, you know, 912 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 3: looking at you know, various suspects on various cases over 913 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,880 Speaker 3: the decades that I've worked cases, it's God, there seems 914 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,879 Speaker 3: to be enough substance here, this is possibly the guy. 915 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,880 Speaker 3: Do I have probable cause? You know? And this is 916 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,000 Speaker 3: something any investigator working a kind of a who done 917 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:28,239 Speaker 3: it homicide is asking. There's obvious in modern day cases, 918 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,799 Speaker 3: there's obvious things. We have DNA that we know came 919 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,480 Speaker 3: from the offender and it matches the suspect. Yes, But 920 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,919 Speaker 3: when you're dealing with circumstances. One of the things about 921 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 3: probable cause, and you'll hear whether it be you know, 922 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,640 Speaker 3: when you're going through legal training and the police academy 923 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 3: or experienced homicide investigators. Says, well, I can't necessarily define 924 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 3: probable cause, but I know it when I see it, 925 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,920 Speaker 3: and then you have to convince a da I've got 926 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 3: probable cause, or a judge, I've got probable cause. 927 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:00,799 Speaker 2: I think it was the Suprimeur that was trying to 928 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 2: define pornography. We can't define it, but we know it 929 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 2: when we see it. It's very much the same feeling. Well, 930 00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:08,920 Speaker 2: let me tell you about the confession. And then he 931 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 2: says something that I want you to react to, and 932 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 2: it's the very last thing he says. He appealed under 933 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:18,280 Speaker 2: the grounds that the judge should have advised the jury. 934 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 2: So this was a jury trial that the judge said, 935 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 2: your choices are to acquit him or to convict him 936 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 2: a first degree homicide, and the appeal basically said he 937 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,799 Speaker 2: should have been given a multitude of murdered degrees, not 938 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:32,320 Speaker 2: just one. 939 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 1: Or the other. He loses the appeal. 940 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 2: He feels like this is going to be the end 941 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 2: of his life, and this is when he confesses. He says, 942 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 2: okay to the reverend, I did it. He says, on 943 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 2: this afternoon in question, he said, mister and missus Richards 944 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 2: were gone he knew that he stepped away from his 945 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,760 Speaker 2: work with that excuse. My boots hurt, and he wanted 946 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 2: to find Catherine, and he knew he wanted to attack her. 947 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 2: Animals play a big part in this guy's scheme here. 948 00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 2: He lets a calf loose from the barn, and he 949 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:05,760 Speaker 2: also lets. 950 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:06,280 Speaker 1: The bull loose. 951 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,240 Speaker 2: He lets the calf loose because he knows Catherine loves calfs. 952 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 2: He finds her in the farm's cheese house. Remember I 953 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:15,919 Speaker 2: told you this is a big place. There's all kinds 954 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,279 Speaker 2: of houses and barns and sheds. He finds her in 955 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,279 Speaker 2: the cheese house playing with her kittens. He says, this 956 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:22,280 Speaker 2: calf is loose. 957 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:23,320 Speaker 1: I need your help. 958 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 2: And he knew predictably that she would want to find 959 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,440 Speaker 2: the calf and keep it safe. 960 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 1: He said. 961 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,120 Speaker 2: Once they found the calf and returned it to the barn, 962 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,319 Speaker 2: he closed the door, and he put a piece of 963 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 2: fabric which they never found, around her neck and strangled 964 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,760 Speaker 2: her to death. So he says, her eyes is a quote. 965 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 2: Her eyes looked terrible when she was struggling. Then I 966 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,160 Speaker 2: struck her with a milking stool that stood by me. 967 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:48,960 Speaker 2: Then I ravished her. 968 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:49,960 Speaker 1: She was dead. 969 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,080 Speaker 2: But warm when I committed the crime. So what do 970 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:54,759 Speaker 2: you think about all that? And then there's more, a 971 00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:55,399 Speaker 2: little bit more. 972 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 3: Well, I see it's you know, it's a horrific crime, 973 00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,960 Speaker 3: just on a personal level. And here the details of 974 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 3: what Catherine's last moments in life were like. From a 975 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,319 Speaker 3: professional side, you know, this is where Okay, now I 976 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 3: have details, and I have to evaluate the veracity of 977 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,359 Speaker 3: these details. You know my concern from case out of 978 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,200 Speaker 3: you know, eighteen seventy eight, do we have a scenario 979 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,720 Speaker 3: of a false confession? We have a twenty year old 980 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,839 Speaker 3: farm hand. I don't know what his intellectual capacity is, 981 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:31,239 Speaker 3: but we know this age is somebody that could be 982 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,720 Speaker 3: prone to false confession. So I have to make sure 983 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 3: that what he is confessing to is accurate with the 984 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 3: physical evidence. And so this is where, even though he's 985 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,240 Speaker 3: already convicted, I would be wanting to go back and go, Okay, 986 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,719 Speaker 3: you know they don't have photographs. I know that, but 987 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:52,080 Speaker 3: let me see Catherine's injuries. I want to see this 988 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 3: this milking stool. You know, one of the big things 989 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 3: is is this piece of fabric which the reverend is 990 00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,840 Speaker 3: not going to be a trained interviewer, you know, but 991 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,720 Speaker 3: that's a huge thing. He's saying he used a piece 992 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,759 Speaker 3: of fabric to strangle Catherine coroner is saying he saw 993 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:14,360 Speaker 3: ligature marks around her neck. That piece of fabric is huge. 994 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 3: All right, Myron, where is that piece of fabric? And 995 00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 3: if he says I tucked it underneath the wood pile 996 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,759 Speaker 3: in the bullpen, I got to that woodpile, and if 997 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 3: that fabric is there, then bingo, only the killer would 998 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 3: know that, you know. So that's part of what I 999 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,319 Speaker 3: would be doing. Even though it's a convicted offender, there 1000 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 3: still is an obligation to vet all the details to 1001 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,280 Speaker 3: make sure that he is providing the information that only 1002 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 3: the killer would know. So now I have confidence this 1003 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 3: is a true confession because some of the things that 1004 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:54,600 Speaker 3: he may be saying happened, the original investigators may be 1005 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 3: unaware of. They may not have recognized the evidence in 1006 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 3: terms of reconstruc diructing the crime scene. But now that 1007 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 3: the information, the details and the statements are there, then 1008 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,799 Speaker 3: that that evidence could Oh that's why this stool was 1009 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:13,279 Speaker 3: over here, right, And that's part of the interview process 1010 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 3: is it's not just just tell me what happened. Mm hmm, Oh, 1011 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,920 Speaker 3: you use the milking stool. Okay, where was it when 1012 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,839 Speaker 3: you when you first saw it? How did you use it? 1013 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,279 Speaker 3: How many blows did you inflict with it? Where did 1014 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,160 Speaker 3: you put it afterwards? And if he says so, well, 1015 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,920 Speaker 3: I set it down, you know, to my right. But 1016 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 3: then when I was running out of the bullpen, I 1017 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,759 Speaker 3: kicked it. You know, that's the type of detail where 1018 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,280 Speaker 3: you go cheeze. That's why that that stool is halfway 1019 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,880 Speaker 3: away from where it normally would be. Yeah, but the 1020 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:47,720 Speaker 3: details that he's providing this sounds good to me without 1021 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,360 Speaker 3: the ability to do all that type of veracity checking 1022 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,600 Speaker 3: that I just talked about, and just. 1023 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 2: To button this up, you're right, the reverend isn't asking 1024 00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 2: a whole lot of details about that. I think he's 1025 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 2: horrified about listening to this story. Myron says that he 1026 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 2: picked her up and carried her to the bull's pen 1027 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 2: so that, you know, they would assume people would assume 1028 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,959 Speaker 2: that she had been gored by the bull. I guess 1029 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 2: he forgot about the ligature mark around her neck. He 1030 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,439 Speaker 2: put her in the bullpen and they opened the gate 1031 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,279 Speaker 2: and let the bull go free. And then when the 1032 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,319 Speaker 2: reverend says, why did you do this. He said, she 1033 00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,120 Speaker 2: was going to tell her parents that I have been 1034 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 2: what I can describe as a sleazy guy and had 1035 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:30,399 Speaker 2: been making all of these proposals and sexual advances and 1036 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:34,319 Speaker 2: being mad at her. And he said, and this is infuriating, 1037 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,759 Speaker 2: Paul frankly quote, I loved Catherine and was jealous. I 1038 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,880 Speaker 2: intended to kill her and ravish her because I was mad. 1039 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,239 Speaker 2: And I have heard that from other killers using that 1040 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 2: word mad. 1041 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:52,520 Speaker 3: There is a sexualized violence that these types of offenders commit. 1042 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,480 Speaker 3: They could just kill out of anger with no sexual component, 1043 00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 3: but they include a sexual component. There's a fantasy aspect 1044 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,880 Speaker 3: to these offenders. I guarantee Myron, who's been infatuated with 1045 00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:11,480 Speaker 3: Catherine for several years and making lude comments, he's fantasizing 1046 00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 3: about doing certain sex acts to her. So in his statement, 1047 00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 3: the first thing he does is he strangles her. This 1048 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,919 Speaker 3: is self preservation for him, in part. He's eliminating her 1049 00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:28,920 Speaker 3: from going and telling his employers about his lewdness, if 1050 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 3: you will. But after killing her, he has sex with 1051 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:37,720 Speaker 3: her body. It's about sex, you know. So there's power control, 1052 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:45,120 Speaker 3: there's anger, but sex is a fundamental aspect to sexual offenders, 1053 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,920 Speaker 3: and that's just something that many people just kind of 1054 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:54,600 Speaker 3: gloss over. But no, it's fundamental and something within their nature, 1055 00:57:54,760 --> 00:58:00,560 Speaker 3: within their upbringing. They have crossed the sexual compuls and 1056 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 3: the violence into one thing, and that's how they get 1057 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 3: sexual gratification. I have offenders that will have consensual sex 1058 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 3: with their girlfriends and halfway through push off and go 1059 00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,040 Speaker 3: and grab a gun and then hold the gun to 1060 00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,440 Speaker 3: the woman's head while he's having sex with her. Doesn't 1061 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 3: need to do that in order for sex, but he 1062 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:24,800 Speaker 3: likes that violence and that fear he's inflicting on his victim. 1063 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,800 Speaker 3: These are different types of individuals and the psychology of 1064 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 3: these people are are are so different from the normal. 1065 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,760 Speaker 3: And you know, when I talk to groups and law enforcement, 1066 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,360 Speaker 3: you know, I talk you know, the introduction and recognition 1067 00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,920 Speaker 3: of the serial predator. And one of my big phrases 1068 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:47,520 Speaker 3: is know thy enemy, because these types of sexual predators 1069 00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,480 Speaker 3: think differently and do different things. 1070 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,680 Speaker 2: Well, let's go back to that statement that Daniel made 1071 00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:59,080 Speaker 2: where Myron has said, my quote unquote relative like to 1072 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 2: outge girls and strangle them with a cord. 1073 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:04,120 Speaker 1: I hate to. 1074 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,640 Speaker 2: Say, well, I am glad that even though law enforcement 1075 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,080 Speaker 2: had Diddley squat as evidence that they got him, because 1076 00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 2: they obviously got the right person. Legally, what a bad case, morally, 1077 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,040 Speaker 2: what a good outcome, except of course I'm not going 1078 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 2: to give an opinion on execution. But he was hanged 1079 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 2: in November of eighteen seventy nine, So there you go, 1080 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 2: no evidence they get the right person. He would have 1081 00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,880 Speaker 2: continued absolutely doing this. I think you and I both 1082 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 2: know that if this had not happened, But I mean 1083 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,440 Speaker 2: you just said, this wouldn't have even been you know, 1084 00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,720 Speaker 2: you would have even gotten arrest for it these days 1085 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:41,560 Speaker 2: on that evidence. 1086 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 3: Sure you know. And again the case, at least as 1087 00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 3: it stood, for what they could do relative to today's 1088 00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:54,800 Speaker 3: standards is it's thin, But they were on the right track. 1089 00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:58,720 Speaker 3: Suspect number one is Byron, no question about it. But 1090 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 3: I do want to make the comment. And you know, 1091 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 3: if in fact one of Myron's relatives was a serial 1092 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 3: sexual predator. We've seen this over and over again. This 1093 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 3: type of crime runs in families. Is it nature, is 1094 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 3: it nurture? I think it's a combination of both. You 1095 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,800 Speaker 3: have somebody that is born with a certain predisposition, and 1096 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 3: then of course if that type of activity is something 1097 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:26,280 Speaker 3: that is not only permissible, but even encouraged in some 1098 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 3: of these families, then you have somebody that goes out 1099 01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,920 Speaker 3: and acts in that way. You know. So if they 1100 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,800 Speaker 3: had done the follow up on that statement and found yes, 1101 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:40,000 Speaker 3: a close relative of Myron was a serial rapist, you know, 1102 01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:44,760 Speaker 3: then there you go. There already is a predilection within Myron, 1103 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 3: and we see it over and over again in law enforcement. 1104 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,480 Speaker 2: Bad for the legal system, good for the community to 1105 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,600 Speaker 2: get closure. And I'm sure that his confession just horrified 1106 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:57,760 Speaker 2: her parents. It must have been just devastating. But this 1107 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 2: is a good case because I think about what we 1108 01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,560 Speaker 2: used to convict people now, what they used in the 1109 01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:05,600 Speaker 2: sixteen hundreds. 1110 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:06,720 Speaker 1: I can't go back any further. 1111 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,840 Speaker 2: I might have to draw the line at the sixteen hundreds, 1112 01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:12,320 Speaker 2: but I mean, you know, they still were on the 1113 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,880 Speaker 2: right track, as we know throughout history. And this is 1114 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,760 Speaker 2: one of those cases where I just said, well, at 1115 01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:21,120 Speaker 2: least they caught him. But thank goodness, they got it 1116 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,240 Speaker 2: right and it wasn't Daniel. I mean, what if it 1117 01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 2: were Daniel. I mean, you know, what if this guy 1118 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:26,520 Speaker 2: didn't confess and he was hanged. 1119 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I if we had all the details, yeah, 1120 01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 3: you know, from what the investigators had. It's a good 1121 01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:40,200 Speaker 3: training case for investigators. Okay, this is how without using 1122 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,720 Speaker 3: modern technology, this is how to build a case and 1123 01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 3: to investigate a case and to sort out, you know, 1124 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 3: some of the complexities because oftentimes we have multiple suspects 1125 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,640 Speaker 3: that have circumstances that seemed to check the boxes that 1126 01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 3: they could be involved. Well, how does one try to 1127 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:04,120 Speaker 3: find out the facts versus Oh, I've got boxes checked. 1128 01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,200 Speaker 3: I'm going to jump on this guy. He's got to 1129 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:07,920 Speaker 3: be the guy. Well, no, maybe he's not. 1130 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,960 Speaker 2: Well, another good case, I will say, don't expect me 1131 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 2: to be wearing contacts next week. I think it's going 1132 01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,320 Speaker 2: to take a little longer. And I'm a chicken, so 1133 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,600 Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. But you know, next week, I'll 1134 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,200 Speaker 2: bring you something else and maybe I'll be squinting, but 1135 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,120 Speaker 2: definitely it'll be interesting. 1136 01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 1: I can promise you that, Paul. 1137 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:32,760 Speaker 3: Holes Well, Kate Whekler Dawson, if I can wear contacts, 1138 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,000 Speaker 3: you can wear contacts, because I guarantee you I'm a 1139 01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:35,880 Speaker 3: bigger chicken than you. 1140 01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,720 Speaker 1: Oh that's good to know. Okay, good to know.
