1
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to my favorite murder, the many So,

2
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: where we read your emails, your stories and emails.

3
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: Emails and stories and anything in between.

4
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 3: Friends and neighbors. I think you're first.

5
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay. The subject line of this email is

6
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: my younger sister did the illegal part. Hello Karen and Georgia.

7
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: You guys are the best and seeing you in Chicago

8
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 2: was a highlight of twenty twenty five. You absolutely crushed it.

9
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: My story firmly falls into the oldest sister puppeteering younger

10
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: sister category. We love those. The year was two thousand

11
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: and nine and it was a summer afternoon in the

12
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: South Side of Chicago. I am the eldest of five kids.

13
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: At the time, I was nineteen, My twin sisters were eighteen,

14
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: and my twin brothers were thirteen. Jesus, this lineup has

15
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: probably tipped Cairen off to our Irish catholic ness and

16
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: Georgia growing up. I had the ideas and my sister

17
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: Bridget did the doing. She is deeply funny and gave

18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: little fucks, making her the perfect puppet. On this particular afternoon,

19
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: we found ourselves sitting around plotting how we could get

20
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: alcohol for later that night. We had exhausted our rolodex

21
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: of older cousins and we were not feeling brave enough

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: to get a run. Did everyone call it this when

23
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: you sit outside a liquor store and ask a cool

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: looking adult to buy you beer?

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: Done it so many times?

26
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: My cousin Eileen, I remember she called it tapping shoulder.

27
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: That's so good.

28
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: I think they made that up. Anyways, we had no

29
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: options left when an idea occurred to me, old people

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: don't get carted. My plan took little convincing. Bridget was

31
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: immediately in. I spent the next missus doubtfire style, transforming

32
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: her from sunburned teenager into the most convincing grandmother our

33
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: resources could manage.

34
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: Oh my, I.

35
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: Would have never crossed my mind because I can't act too.

36
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 4: I would have been laughing or crying the whole time.

37
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: Or just being like a scared Oh my god. We

38
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: used an old Halloween wig, an obscene amount of makeup

39
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: we relate, and the oldest looking clothes we could find

40
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: in my mom's closet. Bridget practiced her old lady walk

41
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: and satisfied with the results, we were off.

42
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 3: If this works, then I'll believe in, God.

43
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: Here we go. We loaded into our hand me down

44
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine silver Grandmarquis.

45
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: Amazing.

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: That's an old lady car. Ye never more grateful for

47
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: this geriatric monstrosity of a car than in that moment.

48
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: Surely any liquor store employee seeing someone exit this vehicle

49
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: would assume she's at least sixty five. We parked and

50
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: Bridget shuffled in. We held our breath and watched from

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: the car as she made her way to the back

52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: of the store. She paused in front of the bier,

53
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: then grabbed a case of twisted teas.

54
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: Oh my god, so grandma you know? Yeah, well Grandma's dring.

55
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: Old people love twisted teas. She later said that she

56
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: panicked and could not decide what a grandmother would be

57
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: buying at noon on a Tuesday. As she hobbled up

58
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: to the counter, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten

59
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: about her chipped black nail polish. Jesus, the attendant did

60
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: not seem to notice. He smiled and asked, ah, fun

61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: party night. She put on her best fake granny voice

62
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: and replied, er yes. He handed her the change, completely

63
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: unaware that she was a high school senior and told

64
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: her to have a good day. We started cheering as

65
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: she walked out, She looked at us, jumped straight into

66
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: the air and I shit, knew you not clicked her

67
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: heels together before sprinting back.

68
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: To the car.

69
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Worked.

70
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: It fucking worked. The afternoon ended. There's a picture.

71
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh my god?

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Uh huh. The afternoon ended with us driving to the

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: bar where we knew my grandpa Charlie and his Jimmy

74
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: we're at. Bridget cruised in and sat down next to them,

75
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: still fully in character. She tried to talk to them

76
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: for five minutes, but they wanted absolutely nothing to do

77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: with this random old woman. Finally, she ripped off the

78
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: wig and yelled, Papa, it's me. The entire bar erupted.

79
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: My grandpa was a little horrified, but mostly amused. We

80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: decided not to push our luck and never dusted off

81
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: that old lady wig again. Despite none of us liking

82
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: twisted teas, you better believe that we forced our way

83
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: through them that night.

84
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: Yeah.

85
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: I'm attaching pictures of Grandma Bridget for your viewing and

86
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: sharing pleasure, as I believe the statue of limitations has

87
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: expired on this stay sexy and don't underestimate a bad wig. Maggie.

88
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see this. Yeah, i'd totally buy

89
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 3: it one hundred percent. Look at that outfit.

90
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: It's fucking brilliant.

91
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: It's so good.

92
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 4: It's like not too over the top, it's not, but

93
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 4: it's enough. The teeth give it away because she's got

94
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: perfect teeth.

95
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 2: Right, she should have yellowed those up a little bit.

96
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: The glasses are perfect.

97
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: Lush is perfect fucking blazer.

98
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: I think this scarfer around the head tied under the

99
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: chin is an overplay, yes, but it's still gish. Yeah,

100
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: it gives. And as long as she was kind of

101
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: crouched over and talking in the old lady voice.

102
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 4: Eyed purse, Oh my god, Like I hate that we

103
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: just gave a bunch of teenagers a fucking there's.

104
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: A great phone over.

105
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 4: There's one on her across the top of the fucking

106
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 4: Grand Marquee closing like a pin up.

107
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: Girl. Will put them on our Instagram.

108
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: That second picture is absolutely joy Also, I think the

109
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: Grand Marquee was fifty percent of that. Yes journey.

110
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: It's a giant silver like cop car.

111
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,120

00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 4: All right, wow, okay, Well I'll have to follow that

123
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 4: one with uh tornado story. Oh yes, dear Karen and Georgia,

124
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: let's jump right in. In April of nineteen seventy nine,

125
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 4: my mom, Vicki was sixteen, a junior in high school

126
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: in her Wichita Falls, Texas, and dealing with a breakup.

127
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 3: On the dresser in her bedroom.

128
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 4: She had her class ring, her mom's class ring, and

129
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 4: her recent excess class ring. The ex mark had come

130
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 4: by asking for the ringback, but my mom refused and

131
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 4: simply told him that she'd give it back later.

132
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 2: Sure she wasn't ready.

133
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: No nobody could have known how much later that would be.

134
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 4: On April tenth, nineteen seventy nine, a massive tornado ripped

135
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 4: through town in an event now known as Terrible Tuesday.

136
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: Oh you love tornado, I do.

137
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: The tornado touchdown at five fifty five pm, traveled eight

138
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: miles through the city, killing forty two people and destroying

139
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: more than one hundred commercial businesses, two schools, and more

140
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 4: than three thousand homes.

141
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

142
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: On that evening, my mom, her parents, and her brother,

143
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 4: who had come by the house for dinner, were getting

144
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 4: ready to eat when the tornado warning hit. My granddad

145
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: ordered everyone into the car to drive out of town.

146
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 4: My mom argued because even at sixteen, she knew that

147
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 4: being in a car during a tornado is a famously

148
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 4: bad idea. But Dad said get in. And when the

149
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 4: Texas Dad says that you get in. The only one

150
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: not required to leave was her brother, who stayed behind.

151
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: I guess he was over eighteen, so he's.

152
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: Like, fuck you, I'm just going to hang out here.

153
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: In the tornado house.

154
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: They drove out of town a bit, but then couldn't

155
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: go anymore as there was too much traffic with cars

156
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: pulled over as everyone was.

157
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: Trying to leave.

158
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: That's so scary.

159
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: That's like why you don't get in your car and

160
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: trying to drive somewhere.

161
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: Also, that's when the LA fires were happening and I

162
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: had fires literally in a ring around my neighborhood. Yeah,

163
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: I left my house because I was like saying, I

164
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: can't get out while everyone else is trying to get out.

165
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 4: Exactly. That's exactly why I left, like before I needed to. Yeah,

166
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 4: that's and my cousin was one of the ones got

167
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: stuck in the palisades, like driving out and her car

168
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: got fucking burned.

169
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: For really, she run. Yeah. So later that day I

170
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: was like, I'm not.

171
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: Doing this nod terrifying. Yeah. So my mom watched the

172
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: tornado as it barreled through town. It was over a

173
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 4: mile wide and looked like a massive black wall. When

174
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 4: it passed, they drove back toward their house and realized

175
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: at the end of their block that all of the

176
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: houses were leveled. It went from a normal neighborhood and

177
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: houses to nothing. Her brother, who had stayed behind, survived

178
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 4: by sheltering in a closet under the stairway, and when

179
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 4: he emerged, the entire second story of their house was gone.

180
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 4: So I can show you a photo of the houses

181
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: before and after of the house beautiful, oh seventies looking

182
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 4: normal house. Oh, then that like if her brother hadn't there,

183
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: he would have died, right, he was hiding like there

184
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: somewhere there isn't it? Fucking but like that's an uninhabitable

185
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 4: tear down, yes, and so random, Yeah, we'll show it

186
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 4: on her Instagram, Okay. And so the entire second story

187
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 4: was gone, which meant my mom's room and the class

188
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: rings were gone as well. Remember that my mom really

189
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 4: only cared about the class rings and even searched in

190
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 4: the ditch behind the house. She never found them. In

191
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 4: the end, my grandparents decided to sell the lot rather

192
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 4: than rebuild, and the rings were presumed lost. Fast forward

193
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 4: ten years to nineteen eighty seven. Vicki and Mark exchange

194
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 4: different rings. What so they get back together and get

195
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 4: married and then emoji with a heart's in its eyes.

196
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: Fast forwards sixteen more years to two thousand and three.

197
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: I'm thirteen years old, the middle of Mark and Vickie's

198
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 4: three daughters. The family who rebuilt the old lot is

199
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: still living there. Their nineteen year old son is in

200
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 4: the backyard when their dogs dig something up, and what

201
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 4: do they find? A writer high school class of nineteen

202
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: seventy nine ring with the initials M l oh.

203
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: The photo of it too.

204
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 4: This is from Molly. You fucking kill this email. Mollys,

205
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: look at that vintage classics.

206
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

207
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 4: They borrow a yearbook, realized the former resident is now

208
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 4: married to a guy named Mark, and call my mom.

209
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: My mom brought my sisters and me in on the news,

210
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 4: and one night we played a game of asking my

211
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: dad if he could remember what his class ring looked like.

212
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 4: He ended up describing me at all wrong classic and

213
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 4: then my mom said did it look like this and

214
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 4: held out the ring to him. He was shocked and amazed.

215
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 4: Of course, stay sexy and give your ex his class

216
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 4: ringback so it's not lost in a tornado. Or maybe

217
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: don't Mollie.

218
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I know that is when you start like,

219
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: when it started going that direction, I was like, they

220
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 2: found the ring, Like, how is that possible?

221
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 4: And just in the backyard sitting there. That's why you

222
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 4: need to always bring a name metal to Texas and

223
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 4: bring it with you everywhere you go. That's literally what

224
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 4: I want to.

225
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 2: Say from house to house. Okay, I'm not going to

226
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: read you the subject line. It says, hey folks, my

227
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: maternal great friend father or Papa Pete as my family

228
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: called him was a character. He was a raging alcoholic who,

229
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: to me sounds like a total piece of shit, but

230
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 2: at his core cared for his children, my grandmother and

231
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: her siblings. The closest fictional character I can compare them

232
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: to is Frank Gallagher from Shameless.

233
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: Oh fuck, that's rough.

234
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: He frequently went on drinking and gambling binges where his

235
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: family wouldn't hear from him for weeks. He gave classic

236
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: drunk advice, my favorite of which being if you have

237
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: nowhere to sleep, sleep on a grave because no one

238
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: will bother you. And then it says classy, but that's

239
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: really true. I kept thinking about that, where I'm like,

240
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: that's really true. Yeah, you go into a graveyard at night,

241
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: you're alone pretty much, Yeah, kind of, Well, some drinking teenagers,

242
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: but they're scared of you and ghosts and ghosts, but

243
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 2: they're also scared of you. So, without further ado, it's

244
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: the late sixties in the small town of Watumpka, Alabama,

245
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: population of about four thousand people at the time. My

246
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: great grandmother big Mama no I'm not kidding, gets a

247
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: phone call from a sheriff in Texas. Ma'am, are you

248
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: the wife of Pete Brooks, Yes, ma'am, your husband is dead.

249
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: He'd drunk himself to death. You're gonna have to come

250
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: to Texas to collect his body. Big Mama, who's only

251
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: about thirty at the time, while holding this charming nickname,

252
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: by the way, is devastated. She takes her two young

253
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: teenage daughters on a road trip to Texas to bring

254
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: the body of their father home to Alabama to be buried.

255
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: They enter the police station, they explained that they are

256
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: there to collect mister Rook's remains. The young mother and

257
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: her daughters are brought around the corner to the cells,

258
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: only to find Pete Rooks drunk off his ass and

259
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: slurring his helloes to his wife and daughters. What Pete

260
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: had gone on a bender so grandiose that it carried

261
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: him three states away. Upon being arrested for god knows what,

262
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: the sheriff must have asked him who he could call

263
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: to come pick him up from the station. Pete knew

264
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: no one would come pick him up up in Texas,

265
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 2: all the way from Alabama now, and he was out

266
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: of money, so, being the genius he was, he told

267
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: the shareff to call his wife and tell her that

268
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: he had died.

269
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: Okay, the sheriff is so complicit and it's so not okay,

270
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: and it was your job to not do that.

271
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: This is this is a real bros before host situation.

272
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: That is like, and that's the.

273
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: Diastation that they went through the whole time before knowing that,

274
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 4: just because you were like, come pick me up.

275
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the share was like, let's do it.

276
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 2: Boys club. Wow, that's why the girls clubs must we

277
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 2: must get serious about the girls club. Yes, because the

278
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 2: boys have been boys club and for far too long.

279
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 3: You've had your fucking day.

280
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 2: Can you imagine how furious you would be? Okay, he

281
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: knew that the only way his wife would come pick

282
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: his dumb ass up in a whole other state after

283
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: no contact, no apology, and no money to fund the

284
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: trip was over his dead body. I can't even imagine

285
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: that twelve hour car ride of shame home. And that's

286
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,400

Speaker 3: Let's see. Okay.

296
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: Oh and this is it's a Memorial Day when this

297
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 4: comes out, So this is kind of a Memorial Day story.

298
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 4: Hello ladies and Emotional Support animals. I was born and

299
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: raised in Buffalo, New York. My family traveled from Italy

300
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: sometime around eighteen ninety and decided to make the city

301
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: of Good Neighbors their home. In nineteen ninety six, my

302
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 4: grandfather embarked on a dedicated search to locate his missing uncle, Bartholomew,

303
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 4: who had served in World War Two. Initially, the family

304
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 4: had been informed that he was missing an action, but

305
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: later but the military communicated that he had been killed

306
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 4: in battle, with no remains discovered. Due to the onset

307
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 4: of Alzheimer's disease, my grandfather's pursuit was tragically interrupted. However,

308
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 4: in twenty nineteen, my father took it upon himself to

309
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: continue the search. He began reaching out to distant relatives

310
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: he had never met and joining Facebook groups dedicated to

311
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: the families of missing veterans. After years of tireless research,

312
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: my father discovered a cemetery in Luxembourg that still contained

313
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 4: approximately one hundred unmarked graves. Given that Bartholomew's last known

314
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 4: location was in this area and he had been missing

315
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 4: for seventy five years, it seemed to be the most

316
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 4: likely place to find him. In a remarkable turn of events,

317
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 4: several family members submitted DNA samples, which ultimately allowed us

318
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 4: to confirm Botholomew's identity among the unmarked graves. WHOA I

319
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: know after all that time?

320
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: So I wonder if the army or whatever it was

321
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: has some sort of procedure to keep something so they

322
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: contest totally.

323
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 4: And then his remains were repatriated to Buffalo for a

324
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 4: proper military burial, just in time for would have been

325
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 4: his one hundred and fourth birthday. On Memorial Day WOW

326
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 4: on Saturday, June first, twenty twenty four. Bartholomew received full

327
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 4: military honors and was laid to rest with his family.

328
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: Bring enclosure to a story that has resonated in our

329
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 4: family for generations. Is a profound and moving moment. To

330
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 4: know that after so many years, he will finally rest

331
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 4: with those who loved him. My Papa, who passed away

332
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: on October fourteenth, twenty twenty four, has now been reunited

333
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 4: with his beloved uncle SSDGM K. Wow, that's a powerful story.

334
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: Yeah for Memorial Day, totally.

335
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: Wow.

336
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: Well, if you're enlisted, if you're in any part of

337
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: the military in this country, thank you for your service.

338
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you.

339
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,359
Speaker 2: And thank you to World War Two veterans for fighting Nazis.

340
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, literal Nazi.

341
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: Very important to fight Nazis.

342
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: Let's do it. Okay.

343
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: My last email, the subject line is a fun train

344
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: derailment question mark. Hello murder pals. I know you're awesome.

345
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: You know you're awesome. We don't need to discuss it.

346
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: Some random Wednesday in two thousand and seven, my grandfather

347
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: picked me up from school, just like any other day.

348
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: We made some small talk on the way home, and

349
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 2: when we walked in the door, he told me that

350
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: he had a gift for me. While I waited, my

351
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: grandmother showed me a brand new diamond ring he had

352
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: just given her. This was weird since my grandparents weren't

353
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: exactly well off. My gift was a brand new laptop.

354
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: Since our household computer was of the nineties and it

355
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: was on its last leg. I was eager to get

356
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: on MySpace in less than a fifteen minute wait time.

357
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: So I stopped wondering if my grandfather had pulled a

358
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: bank job, and I went on to my room right,

359
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: and I don't ask questions questions, just log on. Fast

360
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: forward to a few hours when the nightly news came on.

361
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: Being a teenager, I didn't watch the news, but I

362
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: happened to walk through the living room at just the

363
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: right time to see my grandfather on the screen talking

364
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: about how something felt like an earthquake. Super Confused, I

365
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: stopped to listen. That afternoon, he had stopped at a

366
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: convenience store. It was one of those stores you wouldn't

367
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: know was a store if unless you were a local,

368
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: just a boring, tiny building on the side of the road.

369
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: There's nothing unusual about him stopping there. But what he

370
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: conveniently didn't mention at all that day was that while

371
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 2: he was there, a fucking train ran through the store.

372
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: Well, I forgot about the train completely right.

373
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: According to the News, a train engineer ignored a stop

374
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: signal when he was backing up on an offloading track,

375
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: which caused three train cars to roll through a dirt

376
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 2: barrier and hit the store thirty feet from where the

377
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 2: track ends. The owner managed to get everyone out safely,

378
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: including having to pull out a customer who went into

379
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: shock and had to be sent to the hospital. My

380
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: grandfather had only a tiny cut on his nose, probably

381
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: from his glasses being pushed into his face from the

382
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: impact duda of a train train. I don't remember the

383
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,239
Speaker 2: store ever reopening, and eventually it was demolished. But as

384
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 2: far as I know, trains have run without incident in

385
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: my hometown ever since. Oh yeah, in the gifts, he

386
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: stopped there to buy a lottery ticket. The ticket won

387
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 2: him one hundred thousand dollars.

388
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: Sorry, what the fuck?

389
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 4: I was like he stole the money when like everyone

390
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: had evacuated.

391
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 2: He says, yeah, not only did he survive a freak

392
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 2: trained derailment, but he won more than my salary from

393
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: the ticket he bought immediately before it happened.

394
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: What the fuck?

395
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: Stay sexy and avoid stores near train tracks, Brits or don't.

396
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 2: And then our producer Kate Shallenbach looked the incident up

397
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 2: and she says there was indeed a trained derailment near

398
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 2: in Lancaster, South Carolina, in two thousand and seven. The

399
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: train ran into a by Right convenience store, and Kate

400
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: found a print interview quoting a witness who had stopped

401
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: and to get a lottery ticket when the train crashed

402
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: into the store. No one died in this incident.

403
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 4: I mean the time, the timeline that you're on in

404
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 4: this life. If that's it, After that, that's pretty fucking great.

405
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: Constant whistling, constant chill attitude.

406
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 3: Yes, someone likes you.

407
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 2: Just just I am blessed.

408
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 3: Oh my god, wow. Okay. My last one is just

409
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 3: about medieval family folklore. Oh just that.

410
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Hi, Karen and Georgia. Greetings from Brussels. I'll

411
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 4: get straight into it. I'm from the rural part of Belgium, Limburg.

412
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 4: I've been to Belgium.

413
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 3: Isn't that weird?

414
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

415
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 4: Back in the late medieval times this area was mostly farms,

416
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 4: tiny wooden houses with thatched roofs, and local pubs.

417
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: Take me so fun.

418
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 4: Life was fine if you were hard working. Unfortunately, I

419
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 4: come from a long line of quote enthusiastic enjoyers of

420
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 4: life not exactly align with the whole reap what you

421
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 4: sew lifestyle. So my ancestors found a solution. A gang,

422
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: not just any gang, the biggest and most notorious one

423
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 4: in the region. Their name okay, here I go uh

424
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: du Bacan writers, Brocken Writers writers literally the goat writers.

425
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: Oh, and that says.

426
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 4: I know goat writers. Folklore says they rode goats through

427
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 4: the night. Some stories even mentioned flying goats. In reality,

428
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 4: they were more into leaving threatening burn letters on people's doores,

429
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 4: not to be confused with the mean girl burned the book,

430
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 4: and since everything was made of wood and straw very

431
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 4: flammable vibes, the letters basically said nice home, you got there,

432
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 4: It would be a shame if it burned down.

433
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: People had to pay to avoid.

434
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 2: That shit like early mafia yeah, or Brussels Mafia.

435
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

436
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 4: My family name shows up in multiple court documents connected

437
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 4: to this gang. I find that both cool and slightly concerning,

438
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 4: and honestly a bit explanatory for how my family still

439
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 4: operates today. No crime, just creative thinking. It doesn't end

440
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 4: well though. Two of my ancestors were hanged in a

441
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 4: nearby town after being tortured for a confession. When I

442
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 4: was about eight, my dad took me there. The original

443
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 4: gallows were still standing in front of the town hall.

444
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 4: WHOA my dad somehow arranged a meeting with the mayor

445
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 4: to discuss our family history. I vividly remember us walking

446
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 4: into the office and my dad immediately joking, so who

447
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 4: here hanged my family? It remains one of my favorite

448
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 4: childhood memories to this day. Now that I've uncovered my

449
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 4: dad's side, I'm looking into my mom's. Apparently my grandparents

450
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: were heavily involved in resistance efforts during.

451
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 3: The Nazi occupation.

452
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 4: Oh yes, they rarely talked about it because of the trauma,

453
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: even though that's where their love story began. Wow, maybe

454
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 4: a story for another day. Anyway, Thank you for being

455
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 4: you heart emoji, stay sexy, and maybe don't trust anyone

456
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 4: who rides goats.

457
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: M M.

458
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 2: Please write in the love story where your grandparents met

459
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: during the resistance.

460
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 3: We need resistance love stories.

461
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: We need all resistance stories, any.

462
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 3: Any like today? Are there any resistance that's right?

463
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 2: Minneapolis? Come on, let.

464

Speaker 2: Thank you, goat writers in the sky.

Speaker 3: That's right, Stay sex and don't get murdered. Good goodbye, Elvis.

468
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:17,399
