Now we're back back on track. 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.720 I recently came into a treasure of a story from 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.760 my aunt, let's call her e. Aunt E was a 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.640 longtime dental assistant of a small dental practice in the 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:37.720 Sacramento area in the eighties and ninetiest represent One of 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:43.319 their frequent patients was none other than the Dorothia Plente. Yep, 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.000 it says, yep, two exclamations flints. Imagine how thrilled I 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.240 was to have my aunt regale me a murderino with 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:55.560 this thriller. So if you want to go listen to 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.120 our Dorothia Pointe episode, which of course I covered because 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.440 we lived too down from her when I lived in 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.240 Sacramento in the very late eighties early nineties. 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:06.640 What episode numbers that was so long? 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:11.120 That was episode thirty seven that was entitled liminal Space. 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.320 Okay, look for the rewind of that, guys. Yeah, okay. 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.160 So it goes back into this email saying after a 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.160 frequent and when I say it, I mean myself, after 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.880 frequent appointments, they became friendly. My aunt is a lovely, 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.600 warm lady who can shat it up with anyone. She 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:32.040 even attended a dinner party at Dorothea's house. Yep, that house. 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.640 She said Dorothea was an excellent cook. The dinner table 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.640 was set in Dorothea's renters were all there except for one. 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.480 My aunt mentioned the empty plate, and she said Dorothea 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.480 stood up and opened the door just off the dining 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.680 room to reveal a man passed out on the bed 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.120 and said something to the effect of him sleeping it off. 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.720 My aunt said his head was hanging off the bed, 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.840 but she assumed he passed out because she knew Dorothea's 0:02:55.919 --> 0:03:00.320 renters were men often struggling with alcohol. Addiction is like 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.880 the ultimate manipulation totally. You have people who it's indefensible 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.160 because the worst is always assumed right and the best 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:08.680 of her intentions. 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.920 They're the best victims because nobody takes them seriously. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.920 Right then it says, was he just passed out? Aunt 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.960 e would wonder about this later. Fast forward to nineteen 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.000 eighty eight, Dorothea had an appointment and noticed my aunt 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.920 wasn't her normal cheerful self. My aunt, my dad, and 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.400 the rest of their seven siblings had just returned from 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.520 burying their father in Oklahoma, and she was still grieving. 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.639 When she explained this, she said, Dorothea grabbed her forearm 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.240 with both hands and looked closely in her eyes and 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.720 said everyone has to die sometime. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:43.880 Chill, so chill. He says, holy shit, right right? Yeah? 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.480 I mean also, it's the grabbing. That's the one two 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.720 punch intense. Once the truth of Dorothea's deeds were revealed 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.680 to my aunt, she actually got subpoenaed to give evidence 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.880 to the da aunt e who has the gift of gab, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.560 definitely filled them in on what she How could you 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.080 not go over every minute. 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.400 Details like gossiping on the stand. You're not going to 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:07.800 believe what she thought and said to me. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.120 She's like, I was there, I was part of this 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.280 whole nightmare. Grab my arm, she grabbed my both with 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.520 her hands. And then it just says stay sexy and 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.080 be leery of little old bespectacle ladies. 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.960 Heidi. You know it's so weird to me is that 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:27.080 you can be a straight up serial killer and still 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.680 be up to date on your dental cleanings.

I started listening 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.200 in twenty eighteen, and I can't begin to tell you 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.120 how excited I am to finally have a solid story 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.359 to share with you. Okay, so here it goes. In 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:24.400 nineteen ninety eight, four teenagers in Medina, Ohio, about forty 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.400 miles from where I live, found two suitcases off the 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.760 I seventy seven inside where human remains that had been dismembered. 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.880 The victim's hands, feet, and head were missing, which made 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.800 identification impossible at the time. Remember, I was like, well, 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.800 now we'll never know who it is. Back then, the 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:46.360 case went cold for over two decades your favorite. Fast 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.159 forward to twenty twenty three. With new DNA technology, the 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:54.360 victim was finally identified as Laurence a drotlift. After that identification, 0:05:54.520 --> 0:06:00.000 investigators uncovered something even more disturbing. His son, Larry Drow 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.359 eighty one, had been fraudulently collecting his father's Social Security 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:08.400 benefits for years, telling people his father had simply moved away. 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.120 Do you know this one, I. 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.920 Mean, it sounds familiar, but it sounds like the beginning, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.159 kids finding like severed human remains in suitcases. There's a 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.320 couple that start like this. 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.400 Yeah. Eventually Larry confessed that he came home from work 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.119 one day and found his father deceased in their home. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.039 He then dismembered the body and disposed of it along 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.400 I seventy seven in the suitcases. Then he went to 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:36.719 the dentist. I'm just kidding. Oh sorry, I had to do. 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.359 I mean, that's the vibe, but this is your to 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:41.800 do list. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.640 Yeah, let me just stop on the way. It's like. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.760 The idea that it's like you're trying to explain this 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.080 to any authorities going And then I dismembered my father. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.880 He was already dead, so I thought no, there's nothing 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:56.680 I can do now. 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.840 Oh, that only sounds normal to a complete psychopath. 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.320 Here's where it gets absolutely insane. My stepdad told me 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.960 he watched a documentary about this case a few years ago. 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.360 He's not usually in a true crime, but was interested 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.520 in the story in the close location. My stepdad is 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.760 also in recovery whoo, and he said a few years 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.120 back he met a man at a meeting and started 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.600 giving him rides. He would pick him up from his 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.240 apartment where he lived only about five minutes away from 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.760 our home. Fast forward this week, a mutual acquaintance sent 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.120 over an article about this solved cold case. My stepdad 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.800 read it and thought about that documentary he had watched 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.440 years ago. He was amazed to hear that the case 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.320 was reopened and solved. Then he realized the man he 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.200 had been giving rides to and spending time with was 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.720 none other than Larry Drotliff. My stepdad said he always 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.960 had a weird feeling about him, but couldn't explain why. 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.440 I mean, I have that about everybody, but. 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.440 That is that thing where it's like when they say 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.160 you look at somebody and they have like dead eyes 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.200 or there's just absolutely no kind of chemical connection to 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.280 them as a and it makes you like get all 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.200 freaked out, but on an animal level. 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.040 Yeah, I'm just kidding.

A couple of 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.960 years ago, my husband and I decided to take our 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.559 two young boys to Dallas to visit the Great Wolf Lodge. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.959 We were going for almost a week and needed someone 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.320 to watch our two year old eighty pound Golden Retriever Nelly. 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.439 My parents were between homes at the time, living in 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.040 a fifth wheel trailer and then in brackets. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:53.240 It says a too bol rv. 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:58.080 Oh, it's fine, We're fine, And it says after moving 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.760 out of a four thousand square foot home, and I thought, 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.559 maybe they'd really like to stay in our house to 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.080 enjoy more room ac a washer and dryer, etc. The 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.000 only stipulation would be that they had to take care 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.480 of the dog. They agreed and saved us a fortune 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.079 and boarding fees, or so we thought. Oh Jesus, yes, 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:15.400 we love an or so we thought. 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:15.760 Story. 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.200 The day we left, my sweet mom decided to take 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.600 the dog for a walk. I had instructed her to 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.400 only use a leash if they went walking around the neighborhood, 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.319 and not on the dirt paths across the street, as 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.320 our dog was used to running free on those paths. However, 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.679 my nervous mom didn't want Nellie to get lost, so 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.160 she put the leash on her and proceeded to walk 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.560 her along the dirt path. 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.560 She did the responsible thing. I do the same thing 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:42.120 if it was someone else's dog, right, you know, sure, Okay. 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.680 Just as they were finishing, Nellie spotted wildlife and took 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.840 off after it, without regard to the lady holding the leash. 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.360 My mom was yanked hard and fell to the ground. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.000 When she tried to get up, she found she couldn't 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:58.600 as her hip was broken, fucking which unfortunately she knew 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.959 from experience. She called out for help and tried to 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.400 drag herself, but she had left her phone at home 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.160 charging and no one could see her from the road. 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.599 As she fell behind a patch of safe. 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.200 Like nineteen ninety eight all over again. 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.840 Of course, the garbage dog thought my mom was on 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.760 the ground to play and get kisses, so she decided 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.160 to slobber all over Mom while she cried out for help. Meanwhile, 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.440 two hours later, we were at the airport when my 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.520 ring doorbell notification went off. I opened the app and 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.079 watched as a man informed my dad that his wife 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.160 had fallen across the street and thinks her hip is broken. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.960 Our wonderful neighbor heard something from his backyard, decided to 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.079 investigate and found my mom lying in the dirt, unable 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.760 to walk. He got my dad and they called an ambulance. 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.000 I repeatedly called to find out if she was okay, 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.000 but I got no answer, as both parents had left 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:49.080 their phones at my house. I finally asked another neighbor 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.320 to track down our hero neighbor to find out what 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.640 was going on. It turns out that my dad had 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.360 watched TV through the whole thing, even though my mom 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.600 was gone much longer than she said she would be. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:00.959 My mom was convinced that he wouldn't have come looking 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.600 for her until morning, and based on his past record, 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:07.480 she's probably right. She ended up getting her third hip replacement. 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:12.000 Third hip replacement surgery and the first for that hip, 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.679 and Nellie ended up being boarded until we got home. 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.720 My lucky sister also had two house guests for the 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.360 next few months while my mom recovered, as she didn't 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.920 want to stay with us and chanced my garbage dog 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.280 injuring her further. 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:26.480 Probably a pretty good call. 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.840 Stay sexy and think twice before letting your garbage Dad 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:35.920 and Osteoporosa's riddled mom dog sit. 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.520 Bad girl. He didn't mean it bad girl, but very 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.160 good girl. It was a squirrel. Look at that face. 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.360 What she's supposed to do if a squirrel comes. 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.199 I'm a perfect perm Oh gorgeous. 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.840 Yeah, that's it. That dog only wants what's best for 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:49.760 all of us. 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.760 Remember when my dad almost killed Elvis when we were 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:57.600 on tour. We lit in Australia, and I had had 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.360 a bag of all his pills in treats, you know, 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.840 in the pil pill pockets. There was his heart medication. 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.240 He had one a day. My dad left the bag 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.800 out and so Elvis of course chewed through it because 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.600 he was a monster, and my dad was like, it's 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.520 a cat, he doesn't do that, and like, yes, he 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:15.120 does ate all of his fucking heart pills, and Vince 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.080 was like, if you killed George's cat, She's never gonna 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:18.680 speak to you again. 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.880 He was fine, and somehow he powered through it. 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.720 He got he was a dump truck. He was like, 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:31.160 he was three more years. Frank, Frank is Alvis's fine? Okay, 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.960 this is called I wish I went to this high school. Hi, covin, 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:35.760 Let's do this. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:36.280 Yes. 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.440 I had been with my boyfriend for an unsettlingly long 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.680 time before he thought to share with me two of 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.520 the best stories I've ever heard, both of which occurred 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.160 during the same period, the late nineties, at his high 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.320 school in Oregon. The first is about a guy named 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.200 DeAndre who transferred from California and immediately became a model 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:58.280 student and extremely popular. Everyone thought DeAndre was cool. Not 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.600 only was he a basketball star at a old school 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.440 in Beverly Hills, but he drove a flashy red Camaro 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.680 and word quickly spread that his aunt was Diana Ross. 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.840 That's always the rumor, especially if you go to a 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:13.600 tiny white time right and there's someone of colors shows 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.800 up there, and that's that's the stuff that happened. 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.160 Totally. I forge didn't mind it. I drove a Camaro 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:20.800 and my aunt Diana Ross. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.600 You show up and you're just like, that's right, you 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:23.880 should absolutely kiss my ane. 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.600 You're not denying it. Yeah. He got straight a's, rose 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.960 to the top of his class and was genuinely nice 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.480 and friendly to everyone, so much so that he was 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.800 elected to student government that winter. He was chosen to 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.440 sing a prize solo at the Christmas concert. Then two 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:42.520 days later, choir practice was interrupted by the police bursting 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:47.400 in to arrest him. Turns out DeAndre wasn't seventeen after all. 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:51.200 Oh these are my favorites. Oh these are my favorite 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.800 But a thirty one year old convicted felon on the run. 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.120 Oh my, he's not just doing it for fun. He 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.480 made like a fucking Drew Barrymore movie out of his 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:01.080 fucking life. 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.920 He's reversed twenty one jump streeting it right. He's like, 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.040 I'm not the cops coming into your high school. I'm 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:07.120 the robbers companist right. 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.640 He actually had attended this high school fifteen years earlier 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.680 and remembered it as the happiest time of his life, 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.880 hence his decision to hide out there for a while. Okay, 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.080 here's my next fucking book and how it starts like 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:19.960 how sweet is that? 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.760 But also, please write a book about any high schooler 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:24.560 that is the best time of their life? 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:25.720 Is high school? True? 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.120 Jesus, get it all down well you can. 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.240 Crazily enough, he even had one or two of the 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:36.040 same teachers, none of whom seemed to recognize him. The 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.040 whole scenario is one of my absolute favorite movie tropes. 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.280 So the fact that this actually happened in real life 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.760 is a dream come true that has to be made 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.920 into a movie. Yes, and this is from Sarah, and 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.600 she put fucking links. This is all this all checks out. 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.640 She's like proof, and then she writes and then it 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.800 gets even better at the same time, all caps at 0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:00.920 the same school, another popular student, this one student body president, 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:05.760 was living out his own cinematic fantasy. Tom was charming, smart, 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:09.320 an eagle scout, a track star, and homecoming king. Again, 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.760 there's links. This sounds like bullshit, it's not. He also 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.680 happened to be a serial armed robber, terrorizing local businesses 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.800 throughout his senior year. When they get started out early, 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.720 it's almost impressive, like those cheerleaders who were robbing a bank. Yes, 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.440 it's almost like I was just fucking ditching school to 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.040 smoke cigarettes by that tree. 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.240 I always felt like I had low like iron, poor blood, 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:31.560 you know what I mean, Like I always felt so 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:32.920 tired and so you know. 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:33.280 What I mean. 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.360 I think I need peanut butter for energy. 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.240 Jobbing a planning and robbing a buck bank. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.280 I can't finish like a book for a book report. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.400 I can't take change out of my mom's purse without 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.160 her hearing me upstairs. I'm not fucking running into a bank. 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.400 I can't sneak in or out of my house successfully. Ever, 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.320 How do I rob this bank? And they're just killing 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:55.040 it all over town? 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.400 Oh, there's so many things we could have done when 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:02.240 we were younger. Look at us now, this is the alternative. 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.280 When he was finally caught, his accomplice was arrested, but 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:10.520 Tom managed to escape to Mexico side as a teenager. Wait, 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:11.280 this is Oregon. 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.960 Yeah, these aren't These aren't my Remember the two guys 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:18.040 from Grant High School?

This is this 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:21.159 is my guy. 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.200 Remember the story of the two people in high school 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.760 together that started. They were like the kings of the 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:27.879 high school, but they started robbing businesses. 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.679 What episode is this small? It's so fascinating. This was 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.600 from the live show. Yeah, remember Karen covered it in Oregon? 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.680 Yeah, in Portland's amazing.

Yes, when he was finally caught accomplice. 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.679 Side note, my boyfriend's sister tells me this arrest actually 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.239 happened on prom night. You can't make this shit up. 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.240 Tom successfully head out in Mexico for months, even going 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.480 so far as to party with thirty seven of his 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:04.000 high school classmates who traveled there for a graduation trip. Yeah, 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.639 none of them tipped off the police man, there's no 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:07.399 fucking rats. 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:07.919 That's right. 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.040 I remember this one.

Tom did 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.000 eventually turn himself in months later after seeing himself on 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:41.199 America's Most Wanted. I remember this. It still baffles me 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.360 that it took my boyfriend over two years to share 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.560 what has to be the coolest and most important thing 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:49.080 ever to happen to him in his life.
