1
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Buddy Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan. I don't know about y'all,

2
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: but when I was a little boy, I was given

3
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: a magnifying glass, and it was probably one of the

4
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: most wondrous gifts that I ever had. I would go

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: about in my grandmother's backyard in North Louisiana, and I

6
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: would look at everything from blades of grass to sand.

7
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: I had a huge sandpile. I was fascinated by how

8
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: sand looked under high magnification. You pick out all of

9
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: these details that exist. But you know, being a young boy,

10
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: one of the things that I was also fascinated by

11
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: was the ability to concentrate the intensity of the sun's

12
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: light and the subsequent heat that resulted from that. Started

13
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: out burning leaves and that sort of thing, and when

14
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: that didn't satisfy me, I find ants and other bugs.

15
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: But there was something within me that I retreated from it.

16
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it over a period of time because

17
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: I began to actually feel bad about burning ants. There

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: are people among us that don't have the capacity, I think,

19
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: to understand the pain of others, whether they be insects

20
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: or fellow human beings. Today, we're going to talk about

21
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: one such person, a person by the name of Stephen Lorenzo,

22
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: who I'll go ahead and tell you now wound up

23
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: being convicted of two deaths, but he is associated with

24
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: the torture of many, many others, a few of which survived.

25
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm Joseph Scott Morgan and this is body backs. Brother Dave.

26
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: Do you ever have those cases that when we begin

27
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: to kind of talk about them and read through these details,

28
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: they kind of set your teeth on edge, that kind

29
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: of make you squirm a little.

30
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 2: Bit when you get into the nitty gritty. Steven Lorenzo,

31
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: every way you turn, there's something more evil than the

32
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: last thing. Just to give everybody a bird's eye view,

33
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 2: we're talking about crimes that happened in two thousand and

34
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: three and just got a sentence this year, twenty years later.

35
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: And I want to know, first of all, what is

36
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: GHB because it plays a big role. I know we've

37
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: heard it called the day rape drug, but I need

38
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: to know what it is, what it does, because this

39
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: is where Steven Lorenzo and his roommate started trolling gay

40
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: clubs in Tampa in two thousand and three. A number

41
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: of gay men went missing in the Tampa, Florida area

42
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: in Tampa Bay and Stephen Lorenzo and his roommate actually

43
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: went picked up these guys in gay bars, went back

44
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: to Lorenzo's house and they tortured these men. Some of

45
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: the men have no memory whatsoever of what took place.

46
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: They just knew the after effects. They knew they had

47
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: marks on their body, and didn't remember how they happened.

48
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: We have two of them that died, one never found

49
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: and one that was basically laid out on display in

50
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: his own vehicle in his apartment complex parking area. That's

51
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: who Stephen Lorenzo is in terms of a murderer and

52
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: damager of people. Did I just make up a word damager?

53
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: Well, okay, I'll allow it. In the words of the hangover, yeah,

54
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: I'll allow it. GHP. It is a drug that really

55
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: serves no purpose whatsoever. It's something that is essentially produced illegally,

56
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: and it's the actual name is gamma hydroxy buterrate. It's

57
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: a compound that is created generally in a clandestine lab

58
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: and it has been around now for years. And let

59
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: me give you some of the other and before I

60
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: get into the nature of it, let me give you

61
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: some of the other names that it goes by, and

62
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: this actually comes from the DEA and these are the

63
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: names that you encounter on the street. So just bear

64
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: with me one second. The first one ought to give

65
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: you an idea right out of the box. The first

66
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: one is it's called easy lay l A y G standalone, Georgia,

67
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: Homeboy GHB, obviously, goop, grievous, get this one. You're ready

68
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: for this one. Grievous, bodily harm. Does that kind of

69
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: paint a picture? Liquid ecstasy liquid X and scoop is

70
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: another one, uh, and it you can find it in

71
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: a powder form. It's liquified as well. Here's kind of

72
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: the insidious part to this. It has no color in

73
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: the liquid form, it has no odor, and it's tasteless.

74
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: So you could just be hanging out in a bar

75
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: and anyone that has just a dropper of this, and

76
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't take much, just put a tiny little drop

77
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: into someone's drink and what will generally happen is that

78
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: the person will be in to experience some level of euphoria.

79
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: But as this drug goes to work, particularly in the

80
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: long term, you develop almost a temporary amnesia. Dave, and

81
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: you know what, you were saying, you got these guys

82
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: out there that have gotten marks all of their bodies,

83
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: And can you imagine waking up on the side of

84
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: the road somewhere at some point in time, and you've

85
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: got marks all over your body and you can't explain them.

86
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: How bizarre would that be?

87
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: If you were in a bar and everybody's dancing and

88
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: having a good time, and you have this little bial

89
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: of liquid, just a little bit, and somebody turns their

90
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: back and you just reach over and pour it in

91
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: their drink, and that's all it would take to basically

92
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: render this person it within a matter of a short

93
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: period of time, rendered them unable to defend themselves. Is

94
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: that what we're talking about here?

95
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And there are some people that actually take

96
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: it recreationally, if you can imagine that, because they The

97
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: idea is that, first off, all inhibitions go out the window.

98
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: The pharmacology types that study it have noted that in

99
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: test subjects that there's an increase in libido, that is,

100
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: you know, your sex drive is kicked into high gear.

101
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: There's also and here's another part of this. Then listen

102
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: to this suggestibility that is that if you are applied

103
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: with a drug, it makes you compliant, and the person

104
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: that is applying the drug has targeted this individual man

105
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: or woman. They're watching this individual maybe from across the room,

106
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: and what they're looking for is to somebody for somebody

107
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: that's not protecting their drink, because that's the easiest way

108
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: to get it on board if you're doing it and

109
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: you want to go unnoticed. And maybe the more intoxicated

110
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: an individual becomes, you lose a sense of awareness anyway,

111
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: kind of woozy anyway. I'm not saying you're in a

112
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: dream state, but you might not be as on your

113
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: game otherwise. And then you've got this person that means

114
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: to do you harm in the worst way possible.

115
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: On top of those feelings of everything you're describing, the

116
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: mood it puts you in, and the physical inability you

117
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: have to actually be your best version of yourself. Now

118
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: you've got Steven Lorenzo and his roommate Scott Schweikert. These

119
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: two guys actually connected with one another online in Cana

120
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: in chat rooms online talking about fantasies of rape and

121
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: all this other crazy stuff online, so that when they

122
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: became roommates and then got the GHB and went into

123
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: the gay clubs of Tampa. Holy moly, Joe, it's not

124
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: just one guy at the bar talking to you. One

125
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: of these guys could have been sitting off to the

126
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: side watching as the drug takes effect on the victim,

127
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: and when it's time to escort them out, Hey, he's

128
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: had one too many. Let's get him out. And then

129
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: you've got a two on one scenario. World one is

130
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: totally the victim incapable of defending themselves at all.

131
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: And that's the thing about it. It's almost like, and

132
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: I've got this, I'm kind of a simple minded person.

133
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: I have this vision of a pack of hyenas kind

134
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: of circling a wounded will to beast on one of

135
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: those nature shows the will to best. Though they'll even attempt,

136
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: in their own feeble way to fight back, you know,

137
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: they'll resist. But if you've got these predators that are

138
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: kind of in your orbit, now, they're just circling, they're

139
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: just waiting, they're waiting, and you can actually get the

140
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: individual under your power of suggestion, and hey, why don't

141
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: we go somewhere else. Oh man, Yeah, that sounds great

142
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: there in this uphoric state, And the next thing you know,

143
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: you're in the back of a vehicle going to literally

144
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: the pit of Hell. I could rattle off names now

145
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: probably and you'd recognize them. We could talk about, obviously

146
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: at the top list is Jeffrey Dahmer. We could talk

147
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: about the alleged lisc killer. Any number of serial perpetrators

148
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: come to mind. And one of the things that is

149
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: common to all of these subjects, either confirmed or alleged,

150
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: is decide idea of control, control over an individual who

151
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,479
Speaker 1: the perpetrator has dehumanized. They're no longer human to the perpetrator.

152
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: They are in a position of vulnerability and they are

153
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: malleable to anything that happens. But here's the trick. If

154
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,239
Speaker 1: you're going to do this, if you're going to control somebody,

155
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: what are you going to take them? We're going to

156
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: do with them? Because that's the big key here.

157
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: The house that Stephen Lorenzo and Scotti Schlagger were living in,

158
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 2: it was just these two guys with a rape, murder,

159
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: torture fantasy world that goes beyond the pale that that

160
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: was actually their connection. The reason they became friends is

161
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: because they both had fantasies of torturing other people, of

162
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: raping people and killing them. And that's where they got

163
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 2: together and ended up becoming roommates and then had a

164
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 2: game plan. They figured out exactly what to do and

165
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: how to get it done. They went into the gay

166
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: clubs in Tampa, they picked out who they were going

167
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: to get. And I didn't realize until today exactly how

168
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: GHB worked the way you explained it a few minutes ago, Joe,

169
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I now know that it wasn't

170
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: a difficult thing to step to pick out the prey

171
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: and get them out and get them back to a

172
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: private setting. They don't have to find a place. They're

173
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: not having to pull around in a dark alley or

174
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: go out there. They've got a place to go. Let's

175
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: go back to my place. Let's take the party to

176
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: my place.

177
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: Just think about it for one second when you think

178
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: about the nature of this drug and how it impacts

179
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: the person that has been exposed to it. Because you

180
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: could see, for instance, you've got three adults in this case,

181
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: three adult males, who you can imagine if you visually

182
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: see them, all these you know, you're not talking about

183
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: a young kid that's screaming for their parents. You know,

184
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: help me, help me. You're talking about somebody that it

185
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: appears compliant and game for anything. And so you've got

186
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: this compliant subject that's being led into this environment. It's

187
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: not you know, if the neighbors see it, all right,

188
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: or somebody driving down the road sees them, they're going

189
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: to say, well, that's three adults hanging out. It looks

190
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: like they're having a great time. But you know, it

191
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: masks the reality of what's actually going on. It's amazing

192
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: when you think about it, that you can give someone

193
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: a substance that does, in fact muld them into this

194
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: being that is totally and completely compliant. And that again

195
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: going back to this analogous to the pit of Hell,

196
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: you're actually ushering them over the threshold into this environment

197
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: and they're not fighting it, Dave, They're not fighting at all.

198
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: They're willingly, at least from a drug induced standpoint, willingly

199
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: going in and passing through that portal.

200
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: This happened in two thousand and three two different men,

201
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: Jason Gelhaus and Michael Walchhol's Steven Lorenzo in a Tampa

202
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: night club. They both were taken back to Lorenzo's house

203
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: where he and Scott Schweiker. They basically kidnapped them because

204
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: these guys would not have gone willingly had they known

205
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: what was going to happen. But they were kidnapped, drugged,

206
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: sexually tortured, and then they were both killed. Whereas Jason Galehouse,

207
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: his body was cut up and stuffed the parts into

208
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: trash bags and then ditched them in garbage bins all

209
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: around the city of Tampa. That didn't happen to Michael Walkholt.

210
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: He actually was found in his car, wrapped in a

211
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: sheet in his jeep in apartment complex parking area.

212
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: A decomposing mantu. He was found a particularly lengthy tom later,

213
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, because most people don't expect to see something

214
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: like that.

215
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: No, And the thing that got everybody freaking out is

216
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: that they weren't the only two guys that went missing.

217
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: I think there were nine guys that were missing in

218
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: a fairly short period of time, and these two come

219
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: up dead at one was dismembered and one was not.

220
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: One was actually totally disposed of where we still haven't

221
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: been able to find him, and the other was, hey,

222
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 2: he's right there in his own car.

223
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: Can I tell you what they did find of Gaelhouse,

224
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: even though his body was never actually recovered during the

225
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: course of the investigation. What they did find at Lorenzo's

226
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: home is that when they went into the garage, they

227
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: actually found evidence of Gaelhouse's blood on the floor. And

228
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: one of the things that keeps coming up in this

229
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: case in particular, but in other cases as well, is

230
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: the specter of dismemberment. Here we go again, Dave.

231
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: You mentioned that a while back, Joe, that we seem

232
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: to be getting a lot of it.

233
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we really do. I don't know, it's probably just

234
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: this idea that we're more focused on it, or maybe

235
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. It seems to me the world they're

236
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: less boundaries now, even for killers. But that is part

237
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: of I love the Latin term corpus delecti, because you

238
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: have evidence of violence that has taken place here, and

239
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: why else would this total stranger's blood be on the

240
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: floor of his garage. And a dismemberment, again, is something

241
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: that requires some level of not just tools, but it

242
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: requires prophecy. This is not something you're going to go

243
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: out in the front yard and do.

244
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: Can we back up to the blood in the garage

245
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: for just a minute, Joe. The way it was described

246
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: in court was that it was a pool of blood

247
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: under the floor of Lorenzo's garage, the floor being those

248
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: big brick things that you can use as a flooring area,

249
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: and I'm guessing the blood seeped underneath those, and they

250
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: called it a pool of blood. How long will blood

251
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: remain where you can actually see was there and test

252
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: it from the time it comes out of my body?

253
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: How long are you going to be able to find

254
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: it in that dirt?

255
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: You can find it for a protracted period of time.

256
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: It's amazing how resilient it is. I sound like I'm

257
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: talking out of both sides of my mouth, but just

258
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: bear with me. If it is in a cool, more

259
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: protected area, say like underflooring like this, or remember this

260
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: is down in Tampa, all right, So we're talking about

261
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: a harsh environment, all right, from you're in a semi

262
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: tropical environment down there, and you're thinking about, well, it

263
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: would change very quickly. You can still find some remnant

264
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: of it. And here's something else. The fact that they're

265
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: using the term pool associated with seepach gives you an

266
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: idea of what volume that there was that after this

267
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: time they're still able to appreciate it. Now, would you

268
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: be able to use it. I think many people would think, well,

269
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: would you actually be able to use this degraded blood,

270
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: it would still give up enough information from a toxicological

271
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: standpoint where you could actually see evidence of GHB in

272
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: that No, I don't think to that point. However, you

273
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: would still see I think even microscopically, if you were

274
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: to examine it eyes on, you could see decomposing remnant

275
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: of the blood at a microscopic level, and you would

276
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: probably be able to which I think they did in

277
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: this case, confirm at least at a molecular level that

278
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: this blood was associated with Gealehouse. Plus you would need

279
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: the circumstantial evidence. Would someone actually roll over on another

280
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: person and confess to this? Dave? Do you recall in

281
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: our opening I had mentioned the magnifying glass and seeing

282
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: what it would be like to burn insects. One of

283
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: the most distasteful parts of that, I think for me personally,

284
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: I can't speak to anybody else, is that even as

285
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: a little boy, you look at this and you can

286
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: sense that there's some level of discomfort and pain when

287
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: you do this. One of the things that's quite off

288
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: putting about it. But as I mentioned when we first

289
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: set forth, on this conversation. I think that some people

290
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: are incapable of that. As a matter of fact, I

291
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: think that some people long to see that discomfort. Recently,

292
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: I had watched a piece on the Marquis de Side.

293
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: The term sadism actually arises from his name and the

294
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: depths that he sunk to this debauchery, this horrible basement

295
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: of human behavior he in dwelled, and I think that

296
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: there is not just a touch, not just a touch.

297
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: I think that this whole series of crimes is a

298
00:18:58,480 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: wash in satus.

299
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: When I read the survivor description of what he went through,

300
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 2: I think you're exactly right, Joe. This is what Albert

301
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: Perkins said. Albert Perkins was drugged and attacked by Lorenzo

302
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 2: and was one of the few that lived to tell

303
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: the tale about this. He said this quote. I was panicked, hysterical.

304
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 2: I remember him sitting. He turned me over. He was

305
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: sitting on the side of the bed. His face he

306
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: just didn't look the same. Nothing behind his eyes, they

307
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: were dark. His face was contorted, which further panicked me.

308
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: Perkins said. He slipped in and out of consciousness, and

309
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: when he finally came to, Lorenzo was in complete control. Quote,

310
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: my arms and my legs were bound and some twine

311
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: rope around my neck. I had duct tape over my

312
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 2: eyes and mouth.

313
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can take the measure of that, really.

314
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far off into the

315
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: world dads talking about areas that psychologists would get into here.

316
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: But from a forensic standpoint, you see evidence of this,

317
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: and you go out to these scenes and you see

318
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: things like, you know, one of the things we'd look for,

319
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: things like binding materials out there, and you have to

320
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: address it. It's the elephant in the room at that

321
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: point in time. You've got binding materials. And one of

322
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: the things that you see with kidnapped victims many times

323
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: when you're looking at bodies is you'll see like adhesive residue.

324
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: We all know what duct tape looks like. A strip

325
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: of duct tape is put over the eyes or over

326
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: the mouth. If someone has facial hair, has the hair

327
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: been ripped out as a result. I've found literally I

328
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: found duct tape at scenes that contained human hair where

329
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: it had been removed and then maybe fresh had been reapplied,

330
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: because it'll begin to turn loose as a result of

331
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, the moisture interacting with the adhesive. But you'll

332
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: see that residue of adhesive and it's something that we

333
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: take note of in the more to try to tell

334
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: the story of what's happening. And this fellow was mentioning

335
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: the use of twine and being a very narrow type

336
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: of binding. It's not like you're using some kind of

337
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: broad woven rope here. It's going to dig in and say,

338
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: for instance, we find a body that has been bound

339
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: by something like twine, you'll have these very deep furrows

340
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: because the more narrow the binding is, the deeper the

341
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: furrow will be, and there'll be evidence of that. But

342
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,239
Speaker 1: here's the thing. When you begin to think about the

343
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: actions of the GHB, as he is has an awareness

344
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: he's in this kind of and they describe it like

345
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: a dream like state. Most of the time you have

346
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: an awareness this is going on. Maybe in your brain

347
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: you're screaming out this is not right, but you have

348
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 1: no control of your body. It's almost as if if

349
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: people in the audience can identify if you've ever had

350
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: surgery where they push that initial drug into to the

351
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: line and you get in this kind of milky warm state,

352
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: and they could essentially do anything to you in surgery,

353
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: which they're going to do. They're going to do a

354
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 1: bit of cutting, and you don't want to have an

355
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: awareness of that, but there's nothing you can do about it.

356
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: Albert Perkins said, this went on for five hours. It

357
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: wasn't just a hey, I'm tied up. It was, like

358
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: you said, it's a dream state. He knew what was

359
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 2: going on for the most part, but he couldn't do

360
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: anything about it. And five hours of torture. I'm thinking

361
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: about struggling from the twine, because you know, we all

362
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 2: know what twine feels like on your skin. I can't

363
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 2: imagine he had to have been just struggling, even in

364
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: that dream state to get out the pain that would

365
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: have just come from that alone. But Joe, when we're

366
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 2: dealing with a sexual assault, how are you going to

367
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: go back and determine on men? What are the sexual

368
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 2: assault kits? Like? I have no clue.

369
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, there's no difference between the sexual assault kits.

370
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: They're the same and to purpose the same more than likely.

371
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: It's just that with when we're dealing with a male body.

372
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to be very blunt here. We're dealing with

373
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: a male body. First off, we're going to do swabs

374
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: externally all over the body to see if there is

375
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: any kind of ejaculate that's left behind. And this is

376
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: facilitated rather easily. We have kits for this. But when

377
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: we do a rape kit on males, just like with females,

378
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: what will generally happen is that you will have multiple

379
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: swabs that are actually placed into the rectum and they'll

380
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: be allowed to sit in there for several minutes because

381
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: you want anything that is in there, you want it

382
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: to be absorbed into the tip of the swabs. And

383
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: the victim who we have the intact body, which is

384
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: mister Wackoltz who is found decomposing in his jeep. This

385
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: is and keep in mind he sat in that jeep

386
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: for two weeks, Dave two weeks, and so that even

387
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: furthers this because at a cellular level, in the bowel

388
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: in particular, you have this environment where you have the

389
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: cellular breakdown that's taking place. That's one of the reasons

390
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: we kind of have this liquefied event that's going on

391
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: when you have what referred to as purge that are

392
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: issuing out from the mouth and any bodily oriphics. Many

393
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: times there's kind of the seepitch. It's a it's one

394
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: of the foulest substances you can ever smell in the world.

395
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: Is there a chance that you could recover some evidence

396
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: of semen that's still contained in that area per a

397
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: rape kit, It's going to be very difficult. So our

398
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: default position in a case like this where we have

399
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: a decomposed body is we're going to look for external

400
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: trauma around the anus, for instance. And here's the thing.

401
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: When you begin to look for this trauma, you're looking

402
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: for contusions, you're looking for tearing, and you have to

403
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: have a very keen eye as a pathologist, these forensic

404
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: pathologists that do these exams, because that particular area of

405
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: the body will be greatly compromised. And I don't know

406
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: if you're aware of this, but any orifice in the

407
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: body during the course of decomposition, that's where flies actually

408
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: first set in and lay their eggs. So you'll have

409
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: the rectal area, you'll have the mouth, the ears, the nose,

410
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: the eyes. You have fly eggs and the eyes they

411
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: go for those moist and warm areas, so you have

412
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: maggot development in that area as well. So they're trying

413
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: to feed, they're trying to survive.

414
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: So is it really a true thing not just out

415
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: of the movies that forensic people can use fly stuff

416
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: to determine how long a person has been dead or

417
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 2: has been in the vehicle in this case.

418
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you sure can, because what happens is there's if

419
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: you think of it as revolution are cycles, which is

420
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: what my friends in entomology like to They use that

421
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: term a lot. The life cycle of the common blowfly.

422
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: You find maggot husk that are laying about, and that's

423
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: where the maggots are going through their progression to becoming

424
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: full on adult flies. Here's another little unknown that you

425
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: might find interesting day. Did you know that if we

426
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: have a decomposing body, that we can take maggot samples

427
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: from the body and dig this, place them into a centrifuge,

428
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: which is into a tube, and seal it up, place

429
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: it in a centrifuge which spins things right, It spins

430
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: it down, and it spins it down until the maggots

431
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: are actually liquefied. And guess what we can do with that.

432
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: We can actually draw it up, run it for drug testing.

433
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: We can see if there are any drugs on board there. Now,

434
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: it's kind of iffy as to whether or not you

435
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: could pick up on GHP in a maggot sample, but

436
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: you can find cocaine or cocaine metabolite. You can find

437
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: the metabolite of heroin many times in dwelling within these

438
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: liquefied maggots. That's always been fascinating to me, because the

439
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: bugs not only are giving you an indication of timeline,

440
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: they're also giving you an indication as to what they've ingested,

441
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: what they've subsisted off of, which is this human remainance

442
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: before them.

443
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned something about Michael Walcholtz. We're talking

444
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 2: about him being in his jeep and decomposing over two weeks.

445
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: One thing I wanted to bring out, and it goes

446
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: back to the actual scene taking place, these men meeting

447
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 2: in a bar, going back to Lorenzo's house to have

448
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 2: a party or what have you. But we do know,

449
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: because there was the specter of the death penalty hanging

450
00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:00,959
Speaker 2: overhead that deven Lorenzo's partner in crime, Scott schweikertually provided

451
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: the prosecution and thankfully we got more information from him

452
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: of what actually took place. Otherwise, it would be a

453
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 2: more of a guessing game. But he actually gave us

454
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: what happened to Michael Walcoltz, and he said that walcaults

455
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 2: when this was when he was being tortured, when he

456
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: was going through this hell on earth. He screamed, as

457
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: Steven Lorenzo, this is not consensual. Anybody tries to play

458
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 2: they were playing a sex game and it went too far.

459
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 2: Just to be crystal clear. Scott Schweikert, who was there

460
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: when it happened, said this man knew what was happening

461
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: to him and said, this is not consensual. The other part, Joe,

462
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 2: I have from watching television shows and movies. I thought

463
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: GHB was not detectable in the body within a matter

464
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: of hours, within like twelve hours or whatever. I thought

465
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: it was cleared out of the body and you couldn't

466
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: find it. Is that not true?

467
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. And because it metabolizes very very quickly

468
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: and kind of exits the body, I think that there

469
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: are any number of people that are out there that

470
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: kind of labor under this delusion that you can test

471
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: for it and find it in a very short period

472
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: of time. Now, if the person dies before the drug

473
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: is actually metabolized, and exits the body, you're going to

474
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: have a better shot at it. So how long did

475
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: this go on? Post application of the drug? And it

476
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: does kind of wear off pretty quickly, but it leaves

477
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: you in a state of misremembering things or not just

478
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: losing huge blocks of time of your life where you

479
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: can't account for what had happened. In these cases like this,

480
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: where these fellows that did survive, in fact, they're going

481
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: to wake up and they're going to have pain throughout

482
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: their body because they've been abused. And I don't have

483
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: to go into gorey detail about that, but you can

484
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: only imagine some of the pain that they would be

485
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: experiencing and they don't have any explanation for it, and

486
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: they might go back to the bar, and I think

487
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: many times that victims like this are embarrassed. You know,

488
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: they're embarrassed to want to go back and say, hey,

489
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: did you see me leave here with somebody last night,

490
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: because it gives you the impression that they were not

491
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: in control of themselves, that they were that easily influenced,

492
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: where it's not their person being influenced, it's this drug

493
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: that's acting upon them. Now, we'll take samples of various

494
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: tissues to see if we can find evidence muscle in particular.

495
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: But when you get a body that is so compromised

496
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: by decomposition, I think that it would be quite the

497
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: climb for any practitioner to try to determine if GHB

498
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: is on board, and the odds are against you. I'll

499
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: put it to you that way, most of the time

500
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: GHB is going to be picked up on if I

501
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: remember correctly, through the urine, and urine is the best

502
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 1: sample to go through and to try to find it

503
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: that way, so you don't know if it would have

504
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: expel from the body or what would have happened. But

505
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: to that point, I think that even though you have

506
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: this GHB on board, and this is what I was

507
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: talking about relative to a torture event, you have these

508
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: two fellows in particular that are being asphyxiated Dave, and

509
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: you can see this even with someone that is in

510
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: a drug state. Your body is going to react. You

511
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: know that primal brain is going to kick in. You'll

512
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: begin to struggle for air and you will fight, you'll resist,

513
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: And I think that that's where this sadistic element comes in.

514
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: You sit back and whether it's a literature around the

515
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: throat or whether it's a bag over the head, you

516
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: will see this individual react to deprivation of oxygen and

517
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: it's a horrible thing. I'm just so thankful that this

518
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: person is off the street as well as his compatriot, because,

519
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: as it turns out, Lorenzo has already been convicted of,

520
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, raping and torturing nine men and has a

521
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: federal sentence of I think two hundred years, is that correct.

522
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was sentenced to the two hundred years in prison.

523
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: And for many people, you think, well, he's done, we

524
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: don't have to worry. Well, there's still family left that

525
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: needs justice for their loved one. In this particular case,

526
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: we have two young men who were murdered that their

527
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 2: families are still suffering because of what Steve Lorenzo did.

528
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: It took many, many years to get Steven Lorenzo in

529
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: court to be tried, convicted, and sentenced in the cases

530
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: of Jason Galehouse and Michael Walkoll's.

531
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: And when that did happen, Dave, I think that it

532
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: was for families. There's no replacing, you know, those that

533
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: you love. But just for a moment in time, the

534
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: family members of these victims actually had a chance to

535
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: stand in court until Lorenzo what he had robbed them of,

536
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: and to tell the court that Lorenzo no longer deserved

537
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: to be among us. I'm Joseph Scott Morgan and this

538
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: is Bodybacks
