1 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: I'm Kate Winkler Dawson. I'm a journalist who's spent the 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: last twenty five years writing about true crime. 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 2: And I'm Paul Hols, a retired cold case investigator who's 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: works some of America's most complicated cases and solve them. 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: Each week, I present Paul with one of history's most 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: compelling true crimes, and. 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: I weigh in using modern forensic techniques to bring new 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: insights to old mysteries. 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 1: Together, using our individual expertise, we're examining historical true crime 10 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: cases through a twenty first century lens. 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: Some are solved and some are cold, very cold. 12 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 3: This is buried Bones. 13 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: Hey Paul, Hey Kate, how are you. 14 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: I'm doing really well. I'm staying busy as always. When 15 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: am I not busy, I feel like I'm only Yeah, 16 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: you've got a lot going on, But I think, do 17 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: you have an active investigation going on? You're cheating on me. 18 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: I know when I talk about that all the time, 19 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: first with small Town Dixon, now with who What's Happening? 20 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, I've been doing an active investigation. 21 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: It's actually for an audible project. And right now I 22 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: can't necessarily, you know, provide the details, but it's been 23 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: going on for two years, and it involves a serial 24 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: killer out of the Bay Area who I, you know, 25 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: got involved with back in twenty and eleven as part 26 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: of the original task force. And there's unsolved cases that 27 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: this guy has committed, and so part of my, you know, 28 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: role in this active investigation is to try to identify, 29 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: you know, the other the other cases that he has 30 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: never been convicted of of. And it's been a rollercoaster 31 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: ride to I mean, it's just been absolutely crazy, the 32 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 2: twists and turns. I had no idea how this thing 33 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: was going to play out. In fact, I didn't think 34 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 2: anybody was digging into this case. I thought it was 35 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 2: a forgotten case. And then it turns out that I 36 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: have who I would describe as a professional friend. She's 37 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: an FBI agent, and when I initially started getting involved 38 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: with my investigation, turns out she was actually talking to him. 39 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: Where's as he in folsom or where is he? 40 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: You know? He was on death row at sack Quinton, 41 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: But then California dissolved death row and so all these 42 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: death row inmates were distributed throughout the California what we 43 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: you know, the California Prison system is known as CDCR, 44 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 2: and so they were distributed, and he's an elderly gentleman, 45 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: so he was put in a healthcare facility. And I 46 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: was like in a massive scramble, thinking, this guy who's 47 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: ninety almost ninety two at this point, he's going to 48 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: die and take his secrets with him, so I need 49 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: to get in and go talk to him. And when 50 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: I went through my contacts to get in front of him, 51 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I was being told, Oh, there's 52 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: this FBI agent that's talking to him, and so I 53 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: called her up because I knew her for like two decades, 54 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: you know, knowing her. You know, we had had some 55 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: drinks after this, but you know, it was back the 56 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: fuck off and I was like, what what is going 57 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: on here? Who's looking into this? And you know, eventually, 58 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: you know, this is where the FBI can be so 59 00:03:52,560 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: frustrating because they are very controlling over what their agents 60 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: are doing, which I can completely appreciate. But even when 61 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: things are at a point to where you can go public, 62 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: the FBI still has a tendency to be very conservative 63 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: and there's you know, so much good work. Just like 64 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: in Golden State Killer, I had my partner out of 65 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: the FBI, Steve Kramer, who did amazing work after Golden 66 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: State killer case was solved, and he's now like pushing 67 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: genealogy within the FBI world. And I was like, let's 68 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: talk about this. Let's just highlight the good work that 69 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: this guy's doing and his name is Steve Kramer, and 70 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: the FBI just absolutely refused, even though, like I was 71 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: a former FBI Task Force officer. It's like, I'm going 72 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: to do you guys a solid here and highlight what 73 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 2: you're doing and what your agents are doing. And I'm 74 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: now running into the same thing with this particular agent. 75 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: She's doing amazing work and it's like I want to 76 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: highlight that, and the FBI said no. So I'm waiting 77 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 2: for her to retire, and it turns out she's retiring 78 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: this month and maybe she will talk and hopefully people 79 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: will learn, you know this, what this heroin has been 80 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 2: doing over the last you know, almost three decades of 81 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: a career. 82 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: Well, I think that's wonderful that you know. We're hopefully 83 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: you'll be able to talk to us right after your 84 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: piece comes out. We have an interesting case. I'm going 85 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: to drag you back, kicking and screaming to the eighteen fifties, okay, 86 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: which you know. I love how we balance things. So 87 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: we have more recent cases. By recent, I mean the seventies. 88 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: We have more recent cases with lots of photos. We 89 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: have very very old cases, and I think they all 90 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: have their own benefits, right, I mean, sometimes you're surprised 91 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: at how well investigators do from seventeen ten compared to 92 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: investigators that don't do well when they have more modern technology. 93 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: So we'll see what you think about this case, because 94 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: it's definitely an interesting one. 95 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: All right, I'm looking forward to it as always. 96 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: All Right, let's set the scene. We're in Rochester, New York. 97 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: Love it, Love Rochester, and we are on the bank 98 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: of the Genesee River, and it's December twentieth, eighteen fifty seven. 99 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: I think we've started a few of our cases on 100 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: the bank of a river. The pollution one, remember, I 101 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: think it was in Australia, the people who died because 102 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: they were making out or whatever, crazy one. I know 103 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: that was amazing, on the bank of a river that 104 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: was polluted. I think we've had several of those, but 105 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: this is, you know, where we're starting. I'm not sure 106 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: we've had this kind of case yet, where there are 107 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: people looking for one person and they find another. So 108 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: before I even tell you about that, you know, we've 109 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: talked about people finding bodies, bottle collectors and can collectors. 110 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: You've told me, of course, I've done a million stories 111 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: on poor little kids who are out poking around and 112 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: find a body. This is a search for someone, and 113 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: they don't find that someone. They find somebody completely different. 114 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: Is that something that you've ever run across or heard 115 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: about before more modern times? 116 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: Absolutely? You know, what ends up happening is is that 117 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: within a particular geographic region, there's select areas that you know, 118 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: people know about that are isolated, and so when they 119 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: commit a crime and they have a body, you know, 120 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: they naturally think, well, this is a good area to 121 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: go dump the body. Well, it turns out they're not 122 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: the only ones thinking about that, you know. So you know, 123 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: over the course of you know, often you know, several decades, 124 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: you can get multiple bodies dumped in the same area. 125 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: And now you know, when law enforcement is out searching 126 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: because they got a tip, you know, then they run 127 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: across one, two three. I mean I've literally had cases 128 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: like this where I'm out there and there's other crimes 129 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: that have been committed where other bodies were dumped in 130 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: the same area over the decades. And I relatively recently 131 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 2: consulted on a case out of Vancouver, Washington Portland area, 132 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: the serial killer named Warren Forrest. There's a podcast The 133 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: Soul and Voice is a Dole valley in which literally 134 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: law enforcement is they respond a body had been found 135 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: by I think it was hunters, and as they're out there, 136 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: they run across another body. Well, it turns out the 137 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: serial killer, Well, he used the same dumping ground, you know. 138 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 2: So it's not a unique circumstance. I wouldn't say it's common, 139 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 2: but it's a real thing. 140 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, this is going to be one of those 141 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: times I'm going to have to describe something to you, 142 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: a topography which you might understand, and I just want 143 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: to make sure I understand the way that this goes. Okay. 144 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: So they are looking for a man who is important 145 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: in the Jewish community in Rochester. I know it sounds 146 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: like we're heading one way. We're not. This is a 147 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: guy who was walking over a rickety bridge on this river. 148 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:17,239 Speaker 1: The river goes into a ninety six foot high falls 149 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: called Great falls. So you've got the river, you've got 150 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: the falls, and then you've got the body of water 151 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: underneath it. That's been described a couple of different ways. 152 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: So I have in a minute, I have a modern 153 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: photo of what this looks like, and then I have 154 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: a drawing a depiction of just what the area looks 155 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: like at the time. So they are looking for this man. 156 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: He was important with a particular synagogue, and there's a 157 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: big reward for him. So everybody's out looking. They're in 158 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: the water of this river, the Genesee River, they're in 159 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: the embarkment. They are searching for this guy who had 160 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: been crossing this rickety bridge that had been shut down. 161 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: Nobody was supposed to walk over it. He did. It's 162 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: called the Andrew's Street bridge. He fell into the river 163 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: and then this crowd. A lot of people were watching, 164 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: I think, because you're not supposed to be on that bridge, 165 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: and they were watching as he got swept over the falls. 166 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: I told you, it was almost one hundred feet high 167 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: and into the body water below. Let me first, since 168 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: this is where we're going to find a body, and 169 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: it is not the man associated with the synagogue. They 170 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: will find his body later, not a murder victim. It 171 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: was a bad accident. 172 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that sounds weird though, is that you 173 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: have a crowd watching this man walk across a bridge. 174 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 2: It sounds like this is some sort of stage event. 175 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: It's sort of like Houdini going over Niagara Falls, right, 176 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: you know what. 177 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: I think that this is a situation more like it's 178 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: sort of like Niagara Falls where people are looking at 179 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: the MIT's beautiful. I'll show you, and I think that 180 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: there it's more of like not a staged event, but 181 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: people there sightseeing and watching and this is like a 182 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: little bit of a bustling city. So that's the impression 183 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: I got. But let me show you. Go ahead and 184 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: open up your foot poos. And I know I'm kind 185 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: of jumping the gun because we'ven't even talked about the 186 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: body that was found, but I just want you to 187 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: get a sense for what this is. Oh wow, So 188 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: it's impressive. So this is a depiction of the falls. 189 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: So this is from I think eighteen thirty six and 190 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about nineteen fifty so it probably didn't change significantly. 191 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: So I have to throw out some phrases, and I 192 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: probably should do it now because I don't want us 193 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: to get mixed up, because to me, there's three different areas. 194 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: There's the river, the Genesee River, which feeds into the falls, 195 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: and then you've got the Great Falls that drops, and 196 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: then we've got something called Great Falls Park. And they're 197 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: also talking about an eddy, a small eddy, and that's 198 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: where they end up finding the body that we don't 199 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: know about yet. 200 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: This literally looks like Niagara Falls but has a town 201 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: surrounding it. Probably not as big as Niagara Falls, but 202 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: it's it's I mean, this is not just like a 203 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 2: single waterfall. This is like an entire river or going 204 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: over this cliff down into the basin. I'm looking at 205 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: the bridge in the background, and it appears that this 206 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: thing is easily a couple hundred feet wide. And now 207 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 2: you have a river that is crashing down over a 208 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: cliff down into a basin. And when you mentioned an eddie, 209 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 2: I can only envision. Of course, there's going to be 210 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: certain dead areas, right. So if you have something that 211 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: is floating, let's say you have driftwood, you know it's 212 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: up and then it gets caught in an eddy and 213 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: then it just kind of stays. What you know, and 214 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 2: this is probably not technically correct, but like this tidal 215 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 2: pool area, as it's just sitting there floating until for 216 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: whatever reason, it gets caught up into the current and 217 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 2: then ends up going more downriver. And so I can 218 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: easily see in a situation like this where a body 219 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,479 Speaker 2: is going to get caught into this weird eddy spot 220 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 2: and stay there for a period of time. 221 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to show you another one. This is a 222 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: different point of view that was helpful to me. I 223 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: think I was looking for the basin part of it. 224 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: What do we call that, because that's where some of 225 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: our action is. I was thinking, this is an interesting 226 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: place to dump a body. It also could not be 227 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: what you intended because if it gets caught, which is 228 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: what ends up happening. If it gets caught, it's not 229 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: going to end up in the place where you want 230 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: it to be. 231 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: I'm looking at this, and now I'm you know, I'm 232 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: no marritime expert, but I've done some research on currents 233 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 2: and stuff like in the Bay area, and I can 234 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: see where, Okay, you're going to have a lot of 235 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: churn if you will, at the bottom of the falls, 236 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: which makes sense. But then as you move away from 237 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: these falls, you know, in essence, it's almost like this peaceful, 238 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 2: tranquil lake, but it has a current that is going 239 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 2: to be directed to the right, but when you look 240 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 2: at the left of it, that's going to be sort 241 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: of a dead area. So like, if I'm looking at this, 242 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 2: I'm now predicting, Okay, where is an eddy in which 243 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 2: a body's going to be found? And if I'm looking 244 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: at this, I'm going to go, well, it's going to 245 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 2: be a distance away from the falls, possibly on the 246 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 2: left hand side because you're going to see some swirling 247 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 2: going on there, but maybe even up against the coast 248 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: that's in the foreground of this thing. But I also 249 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: know that there can be something behind the falls, you 250 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 2: know where now things can get trapped and they just 251 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: kind of circulate behind the falls. 252 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: Okay, So, as I said, this guy had been crossing 253 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: his name was Nathan, had been crossing over this rotten bridge. 254 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: He fell into the river. People were watching. This was 255 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: a stop. I just read about this. This was a 256 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: common stop this river in the falls for people going 257 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: to and from Niagara Falls. So you know, I guess 258 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: it's a day at the fall for some people. So 259 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: that's why there was a lot of people watching, you 260 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: could see why it's beautiful. So then we see that 261 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: his body gets swept over ninety six feet into the falls. 262 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: So now they're searching, searching in a small eddy on 263 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: the bank of falls field, which would be at the bottom. 264 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: The search party finds the body of a man and 265 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: this is not Nathan, the guy that they're looking for. 266 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: They find this guy later on. This is somebody totally different. Okay, 267 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: So let me tell you what the injuries are that 268 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: the sheriff sees who initially comes and looks. There's not 269 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: a whole lot of other information, frankly from the autopsy, 270 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: but this is you know what we're going to get. 271 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: So this gull is fractured, his face appears to be 272 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: badly beaten, and there are three deep and regular they say, 273 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: deep and regular cuts, seemingly inflicted by a pair of 274 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: iron knuckles that disfigure his no in his eyes. And 275 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the brass knuckles iron knuckles 276 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: in a second, because I have some fun facts for 277 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: you in some good photos. But how would you know 278 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: the difference between if the same thing happened to our 279 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: mystery man that happened to Nathan. He's walking across the bridge, 280 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: which is what they suspect he goes over the falls. 281 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: How are you going to know that these are not 282 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: cuts and stuff from hitting rocks on the way down 283 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: or rocks in the basin below. 284 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that makes it very tough. You know, this 285 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 2: is where you know, the injuries that you're describing to 286 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: this male, fractured skull, the face looks beaten, and then 287 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: deep regular cuts to the eyes and nose. Well, the 288 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: fractured skull, of course, there's just no way you can 289 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 2: determine it was that as a result of homicidal violence 290 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: or is that a result or literally falling over the 291 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: falls the face being beaten? You know, maybe depending on 292 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 2: what they're looking at, But of course that's still kind 293 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 2: of a result of bludgeoning types of forces, which it's 294 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 2: it's going to be very tough to really differentiate at 295 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 2: the hands of another versus as a result of you know, 296 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: falling over the falls, the deep regular cuts, you know, 297 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 2: that's where it's it's really going to be the differentiating factor. 298 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: The regular aspect possibly leans it into. Now you're looking 299 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 2: at something that has a feature on it, like you 300 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 2: mentioned brass knuckles or or you know whatever else that 301 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 2: has a human made configuration to it versus what happens 302 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 2: in nature, you know, and this is where okay, so 303 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 2: now that's what I would want to be looking at. 304 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: It's like, okay, so what what are we looking at here? 305 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 2: Is it possible that a natural even if it's a 306 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 2: even if it's a series of different impacts, But is 307 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 2: it possible that incidentally there happens to be a regularity 308 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 2: to the injuries versus it's obvious there's no way that 309 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 2: that happened as a result of falling over the falls, 310 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 2: you know. Right now, the only thing I can keep 311 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: I can key in on is that they're saying it's 312 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 2: it looks like regular cuts. And then that is probably 313 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 2: the one thing where it's like, oh, maybe he had 314 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 2: some pre existing injuries as a result of homicidal violence. 315 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 2: And then of course is put in the water and 316 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 2: goes over the falls and gets additional blunt force trauma 317 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 2: as a result and abrasive you know, the skin is 318 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 2: going to be abraided as it's scraping across the rocks 319 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 2: and whatever else, you know, whatever other debris you know, 320 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 2: is in the water that the body is impacting, you know, and. 321 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: Remember nobody saw this guy. They assumed that this happened 322 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: on the bridge, the rickety bridge that no one's supposed 323 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: to be on, but it could have been at another location. 324 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: I have to assume looking at those photos that there 325 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: are different ways, several different kinds of positions, not even 326 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: on this bridge, but to the side off of these cliffs, 327 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: you know, where this could have happened also, Or am 328 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: I wrong about that? 329 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 2: No, for sure. You know, you know right now, even 330 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: though the body is in the water, you can't predict 331 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 2: where the body was placed into this water. 332 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: So look at your photo again to page three, and 333 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: I'm showing you a photo of some you know, brass knuckles. 334 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: Who uses this. It's not it's not cowboys, mobs, maybe mafia. 335 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 2: Well, it's it's not specific. I mean, this is something 336 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: that was used. We were when I went through the 337 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 2: police academy, we were trained on these types of weapons 338 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: because they're like in California, these things, this type of 339 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 2: weapon is illegal. You know, if you have it in 340 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 2: your purse. If you have it in your pocket, I mean, 341 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 2: you can be charged with a crime as a result 342 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 2: of just merely possessing something like this. But this brass knuckles. 343 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 2: You know, this is something that somebody can use in 344 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 2: their fist and in essence, instead of your knuckles impacting 345 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: the person that you're hitting, you now have the metal 346 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 2: impacting the person. So it's a much more devastating, you know, 347 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: type of blunt force trauma. 348 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: Well, there are three more wounds like the ones I 349 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: described to you on the back of his head also, 350 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,959 Speaker 1: and there are pieces of his skull that are scattered 351 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: among the gravel on this you know embankment that we're 352 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: talking about. But go to your next photo and tell 353 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: me if you've ever seen this before. 354 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: So what I'm looking at is what appears to be 355 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 2: a revolver that has a shank at the front. There's 356 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 2: no barrel, so it's definitely a clever device. So let 357 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: me see if I can describe this adequately. So the 358 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 2: handle of this revolver is it looks like brass knuckles. Yeah, right, 359 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: So fingers can be slipped into the metal rings that 360 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 2: make up this fire and this is a firearm, there's 361 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 2: no doubt about that. So you have this handle that 362 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: is basically brass knuckles, and then the middle part of 363 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: this weapon is the revolver. This is the firearm. Aspect. 364 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 2: So there's a cylinder that appears to hold I'm guessing 365 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 2: four to five rounds of AMMO small caliber. There's an 366 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: exposed trigger, it has no trigger guard. It's just looks 367 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 2: like a tongue hanging from the bottom of this device. 368 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 2: And then there is a hole where you would expect 369 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 2: a barrel to be, but there's no barrel. But this 370 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 2: is where a projectile would be discharged from. This could 371 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 2: be Even though there's no barrel, this still can be 372 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: a fatal device if it is fired at very close. 373 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 2: Answered be no accuracy to this at all. So this 374 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 2: this is literally something that is designed for close contact 375 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: with the victim and then. 376 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: The very close, very very close. 377 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 2: The front of this device has what appears to be 378 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: a dagger like blade. It's irregular, but there's no question 379 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: that the the device, this weapon is designed for somebody 380 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 2: to be able to stab a victim simultaneously while stabbing 381 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 2: the victim, shooting the victim. 382 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: And then beating beating the shit out of him, and. 383 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: Then resorting to using the knuckles in the handle to 384 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 2: beat the hell out of them. 385 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: So it's called the Apache Revolver, and it is named 386 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: it's from France, it's not after the indigenous group. It 387 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: is after a gang in France in the eighteen hundreds 388 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: who is made in Belgium. And of course the major 389 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: complaint is exactly what she said. I just brought this 390 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: up for fun because I had run across it, and 391 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: just I thought Paul would think this is interesting. The 392 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: blade's too short. It definitely looks like something an inmate 393 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: at a prison took a somehow filed down like a 394 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: toothbrush and stuck. 395 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 2: It on me. It's like a shank. Yeah, I would 396 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 2: agree it is. It's very crude, yep, for sure. 397 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: So let me tell you about the more about the guy. Okay, 398 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: So I told you he's got several wounds that we 399 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: talked about. Some are deep, some aren't. Three in the 400 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: back of his head, there's a small piece of his 401 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: skull on the ground and the gravel. There is a 402 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: pool of blood that surrounds his body. He's wearing a 403 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: gold watch, and they find money in his pockets, and 404 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: they find a long bladed dagger that is hidden inside 405 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: of his clothes that nobody's taken and he appears to 406 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: have not taken out. There's also some other random stuff 407 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: along the bank's edge, there are more bloody streaks, and 408 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: at different elevations there are several other pools of blood 409 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: on the landscaping, and it seems like there was a 410 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: bloody struggle somewhere. Right, So they've got different elevations, like 411 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: he fell down and landed where he landed, and then 412 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: we've got some other sort of material things that are 413 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: important that were found around and about so far. So, Paul, 414 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: here's my understanding so far. Tell me if you think 415 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: I'm right. So we have this victim who we don't 416 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: even know who this person is yet, standing on a 417 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: cliff near the falls. He it sounds like might have 418 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: been pushed off the cliff, and then you think he 419 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: hit several different elevations on the way down, because there's 420 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: blood under where he landed, but there's also blood in 421 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: different elevations along this cliff side. 422 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would say that's pretty typical because in 423 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 2: most areas where there's these steep cliff like structures, they're 424 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 2: not like straight down, you know, there's outcroppings and everything else, 425 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 2: and so the body is naturally going to be kind 426 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 2: of bouncing off these various structures and incurring injuries on 427 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 2: the way down to the final impact. 428 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: Let me tell you what the investigators say based on 429 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: what they see. So there were some streaks that led 430 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: to the river, and so they say, okay, this is 431 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: what we think happened. From the beginning, they said that 432 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: it seems like this guy got into a fight based 433 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: on bruises that were on his face, but you know, 434 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: we don't know how old the bruises are or anything 435 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: like that, that he got into a fight. That if 436 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: they think the victim got into a fight at the 437 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: top of the gorge whenever he died, if it happened 438 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: then that he was thrown over the precipice and they 439 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: were hoping that he would land in the river and 440 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: then get carried away by the rapids. But body felt, 441 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: they say, on a ledge about thirty feet below, and 442 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: then they said it rolled another fifty to sixty feet 443 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: down to a steep slope. And then they think that 444 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: the killer or killers dragged the body one hundred and 445 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: fifty feet into the river. So you imagine they're like 446 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: in you know, he or whoever the killer is, and 447 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: the victim or in this combat, the guy has a knife, 448 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: the victim has a knife, but he doesn't get it out, 449 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: he goes rolls down. The killer's like, shit, he didn't 450 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: get into the river like I wanted. So he drags 451 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: him into the river, but he didn't put him in 452 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: the right spot because he doesn't flow down the river. 453 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: So they just leave him there. He's just left there. 454 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: It sounds like, I mean, lord, that's a lot of effort. 455 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: Just bury him next time. Yeah, okay, So let me 456 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: tell you about some of the little clues. I told you. 457 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: Nobody took anything from him. He's got like a gold watch, 458 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: he's got money, he's got a knife, a dagger, long 459 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: bladed dagger hidden in his clothes, So this doesn't seem 460 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: like a robbery exactly. 461 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 2: So you know, financial motive is not this offender's primary 462 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 2: mode in this this particular case. And it sounds like, 463 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: you know, what he had on his body was financially 464 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 2: significant for the period of time. So if this was 465 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 2: a robbery homicide, you would think that his body would 466 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 2: have been stripped of these valuables, and they're not, so 467 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 2: you know, that's very informative. Then it's like, okay, so 468 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 2: now the offender isn't interested in the financial aspect, which 469 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 2: tells me the offender is not financially destitute, right. This 470 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 2: is not a let's say, a homeless transient that is 471 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 2: looking to try to you know, just survive and find 472 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 2: you know, some valuables from this victim. So the offender 473 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 2: at least is like, well, whatever he's got is doesn't 474 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 2: matter to me at all. So robbery is out. Now. 475 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 2: It's like, okay, is this vindictive? Is there you know, 476 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 2: a business relationship that went awry that is impacting the offender? 477 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 2: Is there a love interest, a love triangle you know 478 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 2: that's going on? And then that's why this man is 479 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 2: being killed for a variety of reasons. And I've always 480 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,959 Speaker 2: said that, you know, when you listen to true crime 481 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 2: or watch true crime, who are the stories focused on. 482 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 2: It's on women. And why is that is because they're 483 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: innocent victims. When men get killed fast majority of time, 484 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 2: it's because the men have been involved with or have 485 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:33,919 Speaker 2: done something stupid that got them killed. And so what 486 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 2: did our victim do that enrage somebody else to kill him? 487 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 2: That isn't over money. This isn't necessarily a business thing. 488 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: I mean it could be. I mean, this could be 489 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 2: a matter of eliminating a business partner or something like 490 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 2: that where you know the valuables on the victim's body 491 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 2: is meaningless to a former business partner. But it's also 492 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 2: suggestive that, Okay, our victim got himself into something and 493 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 2: the person or persons are willing to commit homicide for 494 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 2: self preservation. That's fundamentally what I'm thinking right now. 495 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: Well, lucky for us, it doesn't take long to identify 496 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: who the victim is because Rochester is a place where 497 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: people know all the prominent folks, and our victim is prominent. 498 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: His name's Charles Littles, and people in the search party 499 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: saw him and immediately knew who he was. He's twenty 500 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: five and he has a very prominent attorney in Rochester. 501 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: He's married to a woman who's nineteen. Her name's Sarah. 502 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: She comes from a big, close knit family. They've only 503 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: been married a couple of years, so immediately, I just 504 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: won't even hide this. Charles has kind of gone downhill 505 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: in the last year or so, probably since he got married. 506 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: He's been drinking a lot, and he's been having quite 507 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: a few extramarital affairs. So they said he's succumbed to vice. 508 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: He had a lot of names of women in a 509 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: diary that he kept, which probably did not make his 510 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: wife very happy. And as I said, they had only 511 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: been married for about two years. And then you know, 512 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: automatically we're talking about the inner circle. If this is 513 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: the murder, you know, we're going to have to talk 514 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: about his relationship with his wife and a little bit 515 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: more about Charles. 516 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 2: Right well, you know, as you quizzed me when we 517 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 2: did the Black Doahllia episode, and you caught me literally 518 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 2: out of the blue in terms of what do I 519 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 2: always say? And I had to think there it's like, 520 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 2: what do you mean? What do you mean? 521 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: You say a lot? 522 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 2: Well, victimology is huge, so obviously right now, you know, 523 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 2: so you have Charles interacting with a variety of women, 524 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 2: you know, and of course we know that these scenarios 525 00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 2: can lead to homicides, so that's one potent'll set of 526 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 2: suspect pools or a suspect pool and then of course 527 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 2: that's on both sides. That's okay, So who has interest 528 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 2: in the women that Charles is having an affair with, 529 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 2: like maybe a husband or a boyfriend or a family member. 530 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 2: But then you have the wife Sarah, you know, and 531 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 2: then that whether it be Sarah or her side of 532 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 2: the family they find out about these affairs, that's another 533 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 2: suspect pool. But I also want to know, well, what 534 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 2: was Charles doing, you know, where was he working, you know, 535 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 2: what is his business arrangement everything else. I can't just say, oh, 536 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 2: he's having affairs, so that's why he's killed. It's something 537 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 2: that you have to investigatively go after. But you also 538 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 2: have to recognize, you know, Charles has more than just 539 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 2: the romantic side of his life that could possibly develop 540 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 2: other suspect pools that you have to investigate. Yep. 541 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: I don't think his business has gone under, and I 542 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: don't read anything about controversy with the business. Maybe he's 543 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: functioning fine, but in Sarah's eyes, he's not because she's 544 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: caught him over the past two years in three affairs, 545 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: and then she recently found out about a fourth and 546 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: she said we're divorcing, and he freaked out. And this 547 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: is you know, within the past couple of months, she 548 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: moved back in with her family, who are the Stouts, 549 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: and one of her brothers she was very close with, 550 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: is a guy named Marian Ira. He goes by Ira Stout, 551 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: and so you know, this is a very close knit family, 552 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: and Sarah has said, I am done with this man, 553 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: and they said, well, we'll take you back, don't worry 554 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: about it. So when they identify Charles Little's as the victim, 555 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: of course they immediately bring Sarah in looking at the 556 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: inner circle, and she said, I don't know what happened 557 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: to him. I know how he reacted when I said 558 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: I want a divorce. He was very jealous. And this 559 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: was you know, I think a few months ago when 560 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: this happened, she apparently started seeing another man named mister 561 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: Patterson is all she refers to him as Charles was 562 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: very very upset about this, and he's stalking her actively 563 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: in the streets. So this is confirmed by you know, 564 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: her family and other people people who knew them. And 565 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: he was very aggravated by mister Patterson in this relationship. 566 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: And on the night of the murder, Sarah had visited 567 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: a dressmaker, and you know, she and her brother were 568 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: there hanging out around town. Basically they were each other's 569 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: alibi because the police are saying, your husband's been murdered, 570 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: where were you? And so they're really homing in on 571 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: her because and now talk about this too. She but 572 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: she is the one you would think would be dead 573 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: on a riverbank because she is the one who said 574 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: I want a divorce. And we know in abusive or 575 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: controlling relationships, particularly something driven you know, by a drugs 576 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: or alcohol, the most dangerous time for a woman is 577 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: when she says I'm leaving you. And so that's what 578 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: I was a little I was thinking, Wow, okay, but 579 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: he's the dead one. 580 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 2: Well, I would say that's that's true for a vast 581 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 2: majority of cases, but there are cases where the women 582 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:20,320 Speaker 2: end up acting out and they either they themselves commit 583 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 2: the homicide or they convince somebody else to do it. 584 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 2: So you have to be aware of that as a possibility. 585 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 2: So you know that this is where now you get 586 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 2: into the weeds in terms of Okay, Sarah, you know, 587 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 2: let's let's go over your timeline. Where were you? Sarah 588 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 2: is not the one that is beating him up and 589 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 2: throwing him over a cliff? 590 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: What you don't think? 591 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 2: So, no, you don't unless you tell me. Sarah six 592 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 2: foot five, two hundred and forty pounds, and you know, 593 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 2: former BJJ athlete, you know in all likelihood she's not 594 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 2: the one doing this, you know, and so she would 595 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 2: have an accomplice or multiple accomplices that are you know, 596 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 2: physically capable of doing this to Charles. And so that's 597 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 2: where you start, you know, setting up. You have to 598 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 2: get her timeline, you have to get her alibi. You 599 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 2: have to figure out her social circles. You have to 600 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 2: figure out who she's communicating with. Could she potentially have 601 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 2: arranged this or could you know, somebody that is a 602 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,839 Speaker 2: confidant of Sarah have arranged it or committed the crime themselves. 603 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 2: You know, maybe this mister Patterson, you know, he's wanting 604 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 2: to eliminate to this jealous soon to be ex Charles, 605 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,280 Speaker 2: right because he wants to have a life with Sarah 606 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 2: that's unencumbered by you know this in essence, this almost 607 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 2: like a stalker that Charles is turning into this jealous guy. 608 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: Okay, well, let me remind you of the alibis of 609 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: these two people. So it's Sarah and her brother. And 610 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: this is not even at the beginning the questioning people 611 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: around town about Sarah. Because not only is Charles a cheater, 612 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: but he goes to something I didn't know existed in 613 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: the eighteen fifties, free love meetings. 614 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 2: You know, I think any act of participant within this 615 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 2: group would be unlikely to be a suspect just based 616 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 2: off of let's say charles involvement, right, because you know, okay, 617 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 2: this is we all agree, there's consent, and we're going 618 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 2: to sexually interact with different members of this group. That's 619 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 2: the normal thought process of this group. Now, somebody in 620 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 2: this group could ultimately have had a bad experience with Charles, 621 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 2: or there could have been some sort of jealousy that 622 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 2: develops as a result. Maybe Charles chose to interact with 623 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 2: maybe another woman than the woman who was hoping to 624 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 2: interact with Charles, and now he's upset. I mean, there's 625 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 2: all sorts of dynamics that potentially could go on. But 626 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 2: you could also have individuals that are participating in this group, 627 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 2: whether men or women, in which they're let's say their 628 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 2: spouse is not a believer in this group or its 629 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 2: philosophies and finds out, you know, you have oh you know, 630 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 2: my wife interacted with this Charles at this free love meeting, 631 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 2: you know, and now you have this jealous rage that 632 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 2: that occurs. Charles as a victim is complicated. You know, 633 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:42,319 Speaker 2: there's at least from the sexual romantic side, there's you know, 634 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 2: multiple pools of potential suspects. Now, I don't think you 635 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 2: haven't told me what Charles did. 636 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a He was a very prominent 637 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: attorney in Rochester, well known. So Charles specialized in insurance claims. 638 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: That's the kind of law that he practiced. But he 639 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 1: was so described as a ne'er do well lawyer in 640 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 1: that he specifically dealt with insurance claims. And I don't know, 641 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he just didn't make a lot of 642 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: money or ripped people off, or it was kind of like, 643 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,839 Speaker 1: you know, considered sleazy practice, but that's what he was. 644 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 2: You know, just Charles being an attorney. We know attorneys 645 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 2: are dealing with adversarial scenarios all the time. And so 646 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 2: now that's another potential aspect to Charles victimology that you 647 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 2: have to pay attention to. He's got the extramarital affairs, 648 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 2: the sexual interactions, the free love side, but then you 649 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 2: also have this business side where you go, Okay, you 650 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 2: have to take a look at, you know, what cases 651 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 2: has he been involved with, And you can't just go, oh, recently, 652 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,399 Speaker 2: because you can have somebody that you know years ago. 653 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,720 Speaker 2: You know, Charles is only twenty five, so it wouldn't 654 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 2: go back that far, you know, but basically from the 655 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 2: beginning of his practice. Okay, so what cases was he 656 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 2: involved with? And as possible that you could have somebody 657 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 2: who thought he was an absolute asshole that did them 658 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 2: wrong and now they're coming back after him. Yeah, so 659 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 2: that's another suspect pool that you have to look at. 660 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 2: It's growing, Yeah, it is, so. 661 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: It is. And Ira hates him. Her brother, Sarah's brother, 662 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: hates him. He thinks he's disgusting. He said that I've 663 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: been with my sister the whole time that night. I 664 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: remind you, they were in a dressmaker's shop, Mary Ferrell. 665 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: We'll hear from her later, and then they just kind 666 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: of walked around the town until it got dark. So 667 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: let me tell you a little bit because the police 668 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: are really humming in on Ira because Ira and his dad, 669 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: so Sarah's father had been in state prison for the 670 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: past five years. So they were in prison on charges 671 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: of forgery and counterfeiting bank bills, burglary, and arson. So 672 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: remember the bank bills they told you back then in 673 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: the eighteen hundreds. Oftentimes, because there was no federal reserve, 674 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,439 Speaker 1: oftentimes banks would print their own bills. It really did 675 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: make counterfeiting easier. They were counterfeiting and burglary and arson 676 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 1: because Ira had good penmanship. It sounds like he had 677 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: become entangled in his father's criminal business because he was 678 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: able to do these forgeries starting when he was fourteen. 679 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: He was only eighteen when he went into prison, and 680 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: he was there for four and a half years in 681 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: solitary confinement. But at this point, until the police discover it, 682 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: the only people who know anything about IRA's background is Charles. 683 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: So it's the Stouts and Charles and that's it. And 684 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: Ira comes out of prison wanting to start a clean slate, 685 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: and he hates Charles. And Sara's divorcing Charles, so there 686 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: is a lot happening with Charles, and to write a 687 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,720 Speaker 1: lot of different avenues just even with these two people. 688 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, so with a divorce, now Charles, who has knowledge 689 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,720 Speaker 2: on Ira and IRA's and Sarah's father, You know, he's 690 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 2: somewhat of a wild card, you know, is it possible 691 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 2: just for the mere fact that he knows their history 692 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,720 Speaker 2: that potentially they decide he's no longer part of the family. 693 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 2: We can't control them, We can't control who he's going 694 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 2: to talk to about them and their past, which could 695 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 2: impact their future and whatever their their ambitions were. So 696 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 2: is this strictly an elimination of Charles in order to 697 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 2: you know, in essence, get rid of this wild card. 698 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 2: So they actually are able to control and containerize who 699 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 2: knows about their past? 700 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,280 Speaker 1: Another little interesting something. And I have mixed feelings about 701 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: this because I don't have enough evidence. So Ira and 702 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: Sarah were very close, right, she's not teen, he's twenty two. 703 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: When they both moved back into the family house. They 704 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: sleep in the same bed. So on one hand, this 705 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: is not uncommon in the eighteen hundreds because communal sleeping 706 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: is what it would have been called, was incredibly common 707 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,879 Speaker 1: with siblings, usually younger siblings. And of course we're talking 708 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 1: about families that aren't very wealthy. They don't have a 709 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: lot of space. Sometimes they would squeeze a bunch of 710 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: kids in a bed at the same time, and the 711 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: girls would go against the wall. The boys would be 712 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 1: more on the edge. But adult siblings number one were 713 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: not so sure. There's and I will tell you if 714 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 1: in the eighteen fifties, people are shit ter chattering about 715 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: the fact that this could have been a sexual relationship 716 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 1: between the brother and their sister, then it was more 717 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: than just you know, siblings sleeping in the same bed innocently, 718 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: I think, but I don't have enough information. That's just 719 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: more information out there that probably they wouldn't have gotten 720 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,359 Speaker 1: wanted to get out. Also, you know, now you got 721 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,239 Speaker 1: your hands behind your head. I don't know if I've 722 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 1: ever seen. 723 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 2: You in that. Brother, Well, I think this is a 724 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 2: you know, this is somewhat of a psychologically complicated scenario. 725 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 2: So I would imagine so Ira and Sarah, let's say 726 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:19,240 Speaker 2: there's an incestuous relationship between this brother and sister. I 727 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 2: don't have any experience dealing with this type of psychology. 728 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 2: I am just now kind of you know, talking off 729 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:33,919 Speaker 2: the top of my head. But I would suspect that 730 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 2: this isn't like some deep romantic love relationship. This is 731 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 2: a physical relationship as a matter of convenience. So when 732 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 2: Sarah ends up dating and ultimately marrying Charles, my suspicion, 733 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 2: and again this is just speculation, is that Ira is 734 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,359 Speaker 2: not going to develop the same level of jealousy as 735 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 2: if it had been a true boyfriend or a husband 736 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 2: type relationship. You know, So I kind of put less 737 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 2: weight in terms of motive for Ira to go after Charles, 738 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 2: just merely as a result of Charles is now in 739 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 2: a relationship with a sister that he's having sex with. 740 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 2: But I don't know, you know, that's that's that's an 741 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 2: interesting dynamic that I have no experience with. 742 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,399 Speaker 1: Well, let's continue on. It ends up coming up later. 743 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: Now we need to talk about actual evidence, because the 744 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 1: police are homing in on these two people for a reason. 745 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 1: Besides the fact of all the crap that's happening, you know, 746 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,840 Speaker 1: within this family and involving Charles. A couple of things. 747 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,280 Speaker 1: There are some items that were left on the shore 748 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 1: where it sounds like there was some dragging into the 749 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,720 Speaker 1: water then it doesn't work and out of the water. 750 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,360 Speaker 1: So there's a pair of glasses. There is a black 751 00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: velvet rosette from a woman's hat this sounds terrible up, 752 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 1: a piece of Russian squirrel tail that could have been 753 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: part of a wrap from a woman of course who combs, 754 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 1: and the arm of an office chair are scattered amongst 755 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 1: the burdock plants, which I think are just adorable plants 756 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: and will pop up later too. So there are all 757 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 1: these random items a lot of which seem to be 758 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: from a woman near his body. 759 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,719 Speaker 2: You know, I would say, you know, of course it's 760 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 2: going to be you know, judging the relevance of these 761 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 2: items to the crime scene. You know, And this is 762 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:38,880 Speaker 2: a very nebulous skill set. I've been out to so 763 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 2: many crime scenes where you've got all sorts of just 764 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,719 Speaker 2: let's say, call it trash debris, and it's like, well, 765 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 2: what's related, what's not related? You know, So that's that's 766 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:55,400 Speaker 2: going to be the complexity of dealing with these particular items, 767 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,320 Speaker 2: the glasses, a black velvet rosette, to Russian. 768 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: Squirrel something or other. 769 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 2: Rap something ye rap, you know. Like my thought is 770 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 2: a woman didn't do this to Charles. Now, women could 771 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 2: have been present, but then why are all these items 772 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,839 Speaker 2: being left behind if she's not the one in combat 773 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 2: with Charles. So let's say, if these items are related, 774 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 2: I would say, this sounds like staging. Somebody's trying to 775 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 2: set up a woman, maybe Sarah, as the responsible by 776 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 2: depositing these items at this crime scene. 777 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 1: Okay, let's continue on. Let's talk about injuries, because this 778 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 1: is why I would say this is probably the main 779 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,200 Speaker 1: reason besides all the background, but in this marriage. Why 780 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 1: the police chief whose name is Oviate, Why police chief 781 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:52,400 Speaker 1: Oviate is saying, hmm. Both Ira and his sister Sarah 782 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 1: are injured, and they say, oh, it happened on Galusha Street, 783 00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 1: which is where I believe the dressmaker was. They visited 784 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 1: the night that Charles was murdered. So this is what 785 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 1: happened with her. She has a broken left wrist and 786 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,719 Speaker 1: she says that she got it from tripping over a 787 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 1: hole on the sidewalk or like a loose plank somewhere. 788 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 1: He has a broken left arm, and he said he 789 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 1: was he had his hands in his pockets and he 790 00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,360 Speaker 1: was running and of course, you know, fell and he 791 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 1: also lost his glasses. They have not presented the glasses 792 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,799 Speaker 1: from the crime scene to Ira, but he said, I 793 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 1: normally wear glasses. I don't have them. And now we 794 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,799 Speaker 1: have doctors who come in and they want to examine them. 795 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 1: So we've got two doctors who examined Sarah. There are 796 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 1: abrasions and bruises on the inside of her right forearm. 797 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: There's you know, both under her chin, on the left 798 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 1: side of her chest below the clavicle, on her left 799 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 1: leg above the ankle, and on the outside of her 800 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: left knee and on the outside of her right knee. 801 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 1: Both of her eyes are black and swollen. And when 802 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 1: she takes off her bonnet, they notice that there are 803 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:07,600 Speaker 1: burdock burrs tangled in her hair. Do you remember I 804 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: talked about burdock burrs. No, there are plants down there 805 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 1: where his body was, and they're called burdocks. And I 806 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 1: know what they are because I find them so interesting. 807 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,959 Speaker 1: They're prickly, they have little hooks covering them, things stick 808 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: to them, and they were actually the inspiration for Velcrow. 809 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, that's cool. 810 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 1: So they are not on the street where the dressmaker 811 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: is anywhere. They are only from as far as people know, 812 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: on the river bank. So they're trying to say these 813 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: people are injured. Ira here has lost his glasses and 814 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 1: Sarah has burrs in her hair that are not around town. 815 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,320 Speaker 1: They're down at the riverbed. 816 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:47,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 817 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if a woman's being set up here. 818 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,240 Speaker 1: I think a woman's involved here. 819 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I'm now changing my opinion on that is okay, Yeah, 820 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 2: Now this is I mean, the extent of Sarah's injuries. 821 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 2: I don't believe these are her, you know, falling down 822 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 2: and she's breaking her wrist, and she's got two black 823 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 2: eyes and all these abrasions all over her body. And 824 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 2: her brother has all his injuries, and he's missing glasses. 825 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 2: And we have glasses that are found at the crime scene, 826 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,960 Speaker 2: and right now we don't know if those match IRA's 827 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 2: glasses are not, but I'm now going, okay, you know 828 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 2: what it looks like Charles was ambushed by Ira and 829 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,240 Speaker 2: Sarah at this location. Yep. 830 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,839 Speaker 1: And then we've got the dress maker who saw them, 831 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: and actually this helps with our timeline a little bit. 832 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,800 Speaker 1: She saw Ira and Sarah in her shop, she says. 833 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 1: This dressmaker says that Sarah was wearing a pair of 834 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:55,840 Speaker 1: black rosettes in her hair. And you'll remember that it 835 00:49:56,080 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 1: was one black velvet rosett from a woman's hat was 836 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 1: found at the scene. So I don't know if that 837 00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,480 Speaker 1: helps with the timeline. It sounds like, if Sarah's the 838 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 1: one who's involved with this, that she saw the dressmaker 839 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 1: before all this happened, you know, at the river's edge, 840 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,680 Speaker 1: although everybody wore rosettes, who knows, I don't know. 841 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 2: These are clues, right, so, you know, this is where 842 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,800 Speaker 2: the investigation has to narrow and literally focus in on 843 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 2: Sarah and Ira. Separate them, interview them separately, you know, 844 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:32,919 Speaker 2: get statements, reinterview them. I mean, in this day and age, 845 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 2: I would say, take written statements, give me your timelines, 846 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 2: you know, and then start looking for inconsistencies where it's like, oh, 847 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 2: these two are not telling the truth, you know. And 848 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,879 Speaker 2: then of course, you know, this type of evidence at 849 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,399 Speaker 2: the crime scene. In this day and age, we can 850 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,399 Speaker 2: pursue with modern technology to try to determine are those 851 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 2: rosettes you know Sarah's are those glasses iras? You know? 852 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,439 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we got iras DNA off of the let's 853 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:05,719 Speaker 2: say the you know, the nose pieces on the glass frames. 854 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:09,880 Speaker 2: You know, it becomes easy, you know. So you know, 855 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:16,359 Speaker 2: now things are getting into Okay, Sarah and Ira are 856 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:21,280 Speaker 2: now prime suspects. And even though, as I've said before, 857 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,480 Speaker 2: you don't have to prove motive, but now is why, 858 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,480 Speaker 2: you know, can can we determine the why? Especially in 859 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 2: the eighteen fifties with all this evidence, you know, in 860 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 2: the circumstances, they probably could prosecute with what you've told me. 861 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,880 Speaker 2: But now it's like, okay, why, what is the reason 862 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:45,799 Speaker 2: for Sarah and Ira to kill Charles. Is it just 863 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:51,360 Speaker 2: because those two had an incestuous relationship and Sarah's wanting 864 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,560 Speaker 2: to divorce and Ira was jealous, or is there something 865 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:55,440 Speaker 2: else going on? 866 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 1: Well, I think the stalking is a big part of it. 867 00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 1: It sounds like Charles was stalking Sarah because of this 868 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 1: mister Patterson, And it sounds like making threats also in 869 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,439 Speaker 1: remembera Paul, he's carrying a long blade. I mean, he's 870 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: got a weapon on him that it doesn't sound like 871 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,719 Speaker 1: he was able to pull out in time if this 872 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 1: is a real fight. So I think that that could 873 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 1: be one of the directions they're heading down right now. 874 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,759 Speaker 1: It sounds like Charles was just kind of unhinged in 875 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 1: general and drinking all the time. 876 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 2: I don't know, Well, you know, you know, and part 877 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 2: of the commission of this crime is is how do 878 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 2: these parties convene at the waterfalls? You know, what kind 879 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 2: of communication occurred? Would Charles normally go here? And of 880 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 2: course you know, Sarah and Ira maybe know his patterns 881 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,560 Speaker 2: and they go this is the perfect location. Did they 882 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 2: follow him? Did he have somebody with him? Maybe he's 883 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 2: got a lady friend that he's taken out there to 884 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 2: overlook the waterfalls, and then Ira and Sarah, you know, 885 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 2: take advantage of this isolation. So that's that's going to 886 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 2: be part of Can we establish how the offenders and 887 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,400 Speaker 2: the victim convened at the homicide location? 888 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:12,160 Speaker 1: Okay, let's move through this because there's more evidence. They 889 00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 1: go to Sarah's house and they find I mean, nobody 890 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,919 Speaker 1: knows how to dispose of anything in this story. They 891 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 1: find her skirt covered in burdock burs and there's broken 892 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 1: jewelry in her pockets. There is one rosette, presumably because 893 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,960 Speaker 1: the other one's on the river bank. They find that 894 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 1: Russian squirrel tail for a wrap and it's missing a panel, 895 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 1: so you know. There's also a recently washed, blood stained 896 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: piece of clothing. So the kids don't know anything. She 897 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,600 Speaker 1: and Ira have a ten year old sister. They have 898 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 1: a twenty five year old brother. They've got the brother's wife, 899 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: and everybody's questioned and the mom is too. I think 900 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 1: the dad might still be in prison. So they question 901 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,280 Speaker 1: the mom and mark It says, oh, this was clothing 902 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,919 Speaker 1: that got bloody a few days ago, and I washed 903 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 1: it Friday night, not last night though, when all of 904 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 1: this stuff happened. And so you know that is that 905 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,120 Speaker 1: they have all of this evidence that matches to whatever 906 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 1: is found down below, is what they say. So this 907 00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 1: is enough to get them indicted. So they're indicted December 908 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,719 Speaker 1: twenty third, and Ira enters a plea first, so they're 909 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 1: tried separately, and this takes a long time. I'm a 910 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 1: little surprised. So you know, they're indicted on December twenty 911 00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,439 Speaker 1: third of fifty seven, and he doesn't go on trial 912 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: until April of fifty eight. And we've had things go 913 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 1: on trial within three days before and in this time period, 914 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 1: so they must have really been trying to build a case. 915 00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 1: So right now, tell me about the case that they have. 916 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 1: Is this considered circumstantial at this point? I mean, the 917 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,800 Speaker 1: stuff at the scene matches the stuff in her house, 918 00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,320 Speaker 1: and there's these injuries. Is that enough these days? 919 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:01,680 Speaker 2: Well, you know, the items that are found at the 920 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 2: crime scene our physical evidence, and if they are truly matching, 921 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 2: I think, most notably the squirrel wrap missing a panel, 922 00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 2: there's going to be ways. And in the eighteen fifties, 923 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 2: I'm not sure how sophisticated they were in what we 924 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,160 Speaker 2: would call a physical match, you know, but you know, 925 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 2: most certainly during the course of my career in criminalistics, 926 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 2: there are ways in which we would be able to show, yes, 927 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 2: this piece of the rap from the crime scene, absolutely, 928 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,840 Speaker 2: I mean it's unique, was part of this other piece 929 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 2: that belonged to Sarah. You know. So there's going to 930 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:48,680 Speaker 2: be physical evidence that is being presented at trial that 931 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,880 Speaker 2: is linking Sarah to these items at the crime scene 932 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,640 Speaker 2: based off of what you told me. Now, the defense 933 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 2: is going to be, well, that doesn't place her at 934 00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,600 Speaker 2: the crime scene. You know, these are things you know, 935 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:05,120 Speaker 2: somebody else could have put out there. But that's you know, 936 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 2: something the jury's going to weigh what do they believe 937 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,360 Speaker 2: and not believe about that set of circumstances. I still 938 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,880 Speaker 2: come back to iris glasses, you know, and are they 939 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,640 Speaker 2: able to you know, show that these are actually iris 940 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 2: glasses you know where there maybe an optometrist marks on 941 00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 2: there that you know, there's file records to show that 942 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 2: you know that these were iras. Uh you know, of 943 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,680 Speaker 2: course we're in the day before fingerprints or DNA to 944 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 2: be able to you know, show that these are actually iras. 945 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 2: You know, so you'd be looking at, well, they match 946 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:44,040 Speaker 2: the description of the glasses that people have seen IRA wearing, 947 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:49,240 Speaker 2: So you know, there's circumstances and there is physical evidence, 948 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:54,400 Speaker 2: so there is some strength to this case for sure, 949 00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:58,400 Speaker 2: but there's I think, you know, there is maybe legitimate 950 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:04,760 Speaker 2: defense news that could minimize both aspects of this particular case. 951 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 2: It's not necessarily conclusive, but it's you know, relative to 952 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,400 Speaker 2: some of the other episodes which were purely circumstantial. And 953 00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:15,879 Speaker 2: I'm going, I don't think they've got enough here. I'm going, yeah, 954 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,760 Speaker 2: I could see where you know, they have enough to 955 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 2: pursue this. It's going to be how you know, how 956 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,960 Speaker 2: rigorous is the defense and how successful the defense is 957 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:26,160 Speaker 2: in front of the jury. 958 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the way this goes is really interesting. And 959 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to use what happens at the trial because 960 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 1: Ira does go to trial. I'm going to tell you 961 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,200 Speaker 1: kind of the blockbuster thing that happens at the trial 962 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,920 Speaker 1: to understand why he does what he does. Initially, Okay, 963 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 1: first of all, we're looking at manslaughter. His defense says, 964 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,800 Speaker 1: you can be convicted of manslaughter, you could be convicted 965 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:51,200 Speaker 1: of first degree murder. And let me just tell you 966 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,280 Speaker 1: about the punishments. I did not know some of this. 967 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 1: So what used to be a very popular punishment was branding, 968 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,520 Speaker 1: actually branding someone sole knew what they did. This was 969 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:05,800 Speaker 1: usually for maybe thieving or you know, second time offenders 970 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,960 Speaker 1: of you know, petty thieving, that kind of thing. Now 971 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 1: they were throwing everybody in prison for every good reason. 972 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:17,480 Speaker 1: So when the trial comes up, I believe that Ira 973 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 1: knew that there was going to be someone testifying against 974 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,360 Speaker 1: him that was going to be really bad news for him. 975 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:29,400 Speaker 1: So Ira says I did kill Charles, and he says 976 00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 1: it was not premeditated. It needs to be manslaughter, and 977 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 1: manslaughter would have been I mean, he's only twenty two. 978 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 1: I think it would have been ten years. Maybe he 979 00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,440 Speaker 1: probably could have gotten out earlier too, although you know, 980 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 1: he had already been in prison to begin with. So 981 00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,000 Speaker 1: I was I want to explain why he said I 982 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:50,000 Speaker 1: did it, but it was not premeditated in any way 983 00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,960 Speaker 1: before I tell you what ends up happening. Does that 984 00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:53,439 Speaker 1: make sense? 985 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:58,440 Speaker 2: No? No, for sure, you know, because at least in California, 986 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 2: you know, man slaughter voluntary versus involuntary versus second to 987 00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 2: first degree murder. You know, this is where now it 988 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:13,000 Speaker 2: does come down to, you know, intent actions, you know, 989 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 2: various planning, the various types of things that potentially, you know, 990 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,720 Speaker 2: the weapons that you brought to the scene versus circumstances 991 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 2: beyond your control, but you committed certain crimes that contribute 992 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:31,040 Speaker 2: it to somebody's death. For Ira to say, or his 993 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:35,440 Speaker 2: attorneys to say, well, this is manslaughter, I'm immediately skeptical 994 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,000 Speaker 2: because this is pretty typical. You know. It's it's like, 995 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 2: you know, the defense is always going to be we 996 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,479 Speaker 2: don't want murder here, we want manslaughter. It's a far 997 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 2: less serious crime and far less in terms of sentencing, 998 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,240 Speaker 2: so they always throw that out. And then of course, 999 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 2: you know, this is where the you know, the courts go. No, 1000 00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,400 Speaker 2: you know, this is you know, the murder charges appropriate. 1001 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,240 Speaker 2: We're going to you know, proceed with that versus you know, 1002 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:07,280 Speaker 2: could it be manslaughter, but you know, are there true 1003 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 2: circumstances you know that can be proven that it is 1004 01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 2: manslaughter versus murder. IRA's admitting to killing Charles, you know, 1005 01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:21,200 Speaker 2: so now we've got him locked in. He's responsible. I 1006 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,520 Speaker 2: don't know what Sarah's role is with that admission, but 1007 01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:29,480 Speaker 2: we know that Ira is saying, yes, I killed Charles, 1008 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 2: but it was not premeditated. Okay, well, let's hear the circumstances. 1009 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 1: So the key witness here, besides all of the circumstantial stuff, 1010 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 1: you know, the key and the fact that Ira has 1011 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:45,880 Speaker 1: shown incredible contempt toward Charles to begin with, you know, 1012 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,760 Speaker 1: saying how he's cheating on my sister and all of 1013 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,240 Speaker 1: this stuff. The key witness here is Mom. So she 1014 01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:57,200 Speaker 1: flips and Margaret Stout says that the night of the 1015 01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 1: murder that Ira and Sarah came home, they were both 1016 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:04,280 Speaker 1: covered in blood. Ira said, I beat him to death 1017 01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,200 Speaker 1: and you know, killed him and shoved him over the edge. 1018 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:12,080 Speaker 1: And the next day Margaret went to falls Field and 1019 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:16,520 Speaker 1: got Sarah's broach in IRA's cap from the crime scene, 1020 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 1: left everything else. It would have been helpful for her 1021 01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 1: to take all the other stuff too. That maybe they 1022 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it was a knight. Who knows, But 1023 01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 1: Mom says, this all happened. I'm pretty sure Ira would 1024 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,000 Speaker 1: have known that that was what was going to happen, 1025 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 1: and that's why he was doing what you're saying, you know, 1026 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,640 Speaker 1: which is trying to mitigate and say, okay, well I 1027 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 1: don't want to die. And he had already been in 1028 01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,920 Speaker 1: solitary confinement and said it was awful, you know. 1029 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 2: Sure you know. But IRA's mom is saying, well, he 1030 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:45,400 Speaker 2: admitted to beating Charles to death. This is not sounding 1031 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:50,000 Speaker 2: like manslaughter to me. This is sounding like second degree 1032 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,800 Speaker 2: murder if it's in the heat of the moment versus 1033 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,120 Speaker 2: pre planning. So how did he beat him to death? 1034 01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,880 Speaker 2: How to get him out there exactly? Why? How did 1035 01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:03,400 Speaker 2: they isolate him out to this particular location? And then 1036 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,920 Speaker 2: of course you got the body disposal, trying to hide 1037 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,880 Speaker 2: the crime and everything else. Right now, I am not 1038 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 2: buying manslaughter with this set of circumstances. I'm now going, 1039 01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:18,280 Speaker 2: is this first first a second degree murder under California statutes? 1040 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you how this ends up going, 1041 01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 1: because I don't think mom knows whether or not this 1042 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,360 Speaker 1: was premeditated, whether or not they drew him out there, 1043 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,480 Speaker 1: they followed him, or he followed them and they were 1044 01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 1: defending themselves. She just knows both her kids came home 1045 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:37,960 Speaker 1: totally covered in blood. Now they hear this, and the 1046 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,280 Speaker 1: trial is a very lengthy nine days. I was impressed 1047 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,479 Speaker 1: by that were used to two day trials. He's found 1048 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 1: guilty at first degree murder and he's sentenced to hang. 1049 01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 1: Now he appeals, and what's interesting about Ira is you know, 1050 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 1: he is kind of an academic. He is a Republican, 1051 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:59,000 Speaker 1: which the Republicans back there were abolitionists. They are you know, 1052 01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 1: anti slavery, they were anti capital punishment. So people knew that. 1053 01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,480 Speaker 1: So listen to this. This is what I think is incredible. 1054 01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:08,640 Speaker 1: He talks to some of his friends, who talk to 1055 01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,520 Speaker 1: some of their important friends, trying to get the governor 1056 01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,800 Speaker 1: to commute his sentence to life imprisonment. So listen, who 1057 01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:19,560 Speaker 1: comes to his defense. Frederick Douglas. Oh wow, in Susan b. Anthony. 1058 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,920 Speaker 1: Frederick Douglas lived in Rochester. These two people hold an 1059 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,800 Speaker 1: anti capital punishment rally at City Hall in Rochester on 1060 01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 1: October eighth. So he was sentenced in April six or 1061 01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:34,640 Speaker 1: seven months later. Okay, seventeen hundred people show up, and 1062 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,640 Speaker 1: Frederick Douglas stands up and says, we cannot execute this guy. 1063 01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,560 Speaker 1: Whether he's guilty or not. There should never be a 1064 01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 1: death penalty. This is not the Christian principle of love. 1065 01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:47,760 Speaker 1: Any argument you can think of, And so you know, 1066 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,800 Speaker 1: you've got these two really prominent people not coming necessarily 1067 01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,160 Speaker 1: to Ira, saying this is an amazing man. Let's save 1068 01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,640 Speaker 1: his life. It is like, nobody should be put to death. 1069 01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 1: But that's a lot of power to have on your side. 1070 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, in this is where you have the case, 1071 01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:06,640 Speaker 2: you have the justice system with the defendant and the 1072 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:10,640 Speaker 2: sentencing and everything else. That's that's one thing that's sort 1073 01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:15,080 Speaker 2: of this isolated aspect. And then when you have Frederick 1074 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:19,640 Speaker 2: Douglass and Susan B. Anthony and everybody else that has 1075 01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:24,880 Speaker 2: this philosophy, Now, this is a societal issue. This is 1076 01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,960 Speaker 2: outside of the justice system, right. This is now where 1077 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:33,200 Speaker 2: you have people who have different life philosophies that are debating, 1078 01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:37,720 Speaker 2: protesting and everything else. And then ultimately that's how legislation occurs. 1079 01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:43,960 Speaker 2: Are we going to enact laws because our populace wants X? Right? 1080 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:48,240 Speaker 2: So this is you know, when I listen to what 1081 01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,680 Speaker 2: you just told me, I mean it's like wow, you know, 1082 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:56,320 Speaker 2: I mean, these are some heavyweight, notable historical figures, but 1083 01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,600 Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with whether or not Ira 1084 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:05,160 Speaker 2: receive the proper sentence for the crime. And you know, 1085 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,720 Speaker 2: right now you said he was convicted of a first 1086 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:13,840 Speaker 2: degree murder in New York. I'm not sure how that 1087 01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 2: equates the first degree murder in California, but if I'm thinking, 1088 01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:22,360 Speaker 2: if it's similar, then it's like, Okay, Now that is 1089 01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:26,760 Speaker 2: showing premeditation, That is showing a variety of different sets 1090 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:33,240 Speaker 2: of circumstances that Ira enacted in order to commit this crime. 1091 01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 2: That separates it from being a in the heat moment 1092 01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:42,640 Speaker 2: type of homicide. This was pre planned, it was intentional. 1093 01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:48,640 Speaker 2: And so yes, he is guilty of absolute murder. You know, 1094 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:50,720 Speaker 2: I'm not going to debate, you know, should he receive 1095 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 2: death versus life without parole or whatever else. But it's 1096 01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:59,720 Speaker 2: telling me the jury felt that, Yep, what Ira and 1097 01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:04,440 Speaker 2: or Sarah did was more than Oh, they bumped into 1098 01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:09,840 Speaker 2: Charles on the street. Coincidentally, they get into a heated argument, 1099 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:14,520 Speaker 2: and now Ira goes off because of the emotional flare 1100 01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:18,240 Speaker 2: up that occurs in that circumstances that technically would be 1101 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:23,920 Speaker 2: more of a second degree murder type of scenario versus, Oh, hey, Charles, 1102 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:25,840 Speaker 2: we got a deal for you. Why don't you come 1103 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,240 Speaker 2: out to the waterfalls and we'll discuss it with you. 1104 01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,920 Speaker 2: Next thing you know, IRA's on top of him with 1105 01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,120 Speaker 2: brass knuckles, beating the hell out of him and pushing 1106 01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,920 Speaker 2: his body over a cliff. Yep, that's first degree murder. 1107 01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:42,200 Speaker 1: Well, I think that the governor looked at this case 1108 01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,320 Speaker 1: the same way you did. He does not get a 1109 01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:48,080 Speaker 1: stay of execution or you know, commuting his sentence to 1110 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,920 Speaker 1: life imprisonment. He's due to be executed on October twenty second. 1111 01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 1: So what I love it that that people did this 1112 01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:59,160 Speaker 1: in the eighteen hundreds. They often wanted to write their 1113 01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 1: own story. They wanted to have their own narrative out there. 1114 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,760 Speaker 1: And so there is what's called a pamphlet kind of 1115 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,600 Speaker 1: of Iris side of the story. It's called the Last 1116 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 1: Writing of Marion Iris Stout. And so I'm just going 1117 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 1: to shorthand this. He says, I hated Charles before she 1118 01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 1: married him. His sister was mild and pure and innocent, 1119 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:26,400 Speaker 1: but Charles was participating in drunk orgies. He abused Sarah 1120 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:30,080 Speaker 1: in the most disgusting manner, which you know, I mean, 1121 01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:34,000 Speaker 1: we can make assumptions. He clarifies, actually coming down here saying. 1122 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:38,320 Speaker 1: He clarifies by saying, also, a man who abuses a 1123 01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:41,120 Speaker 1: pure and beautiful woman, a man who will strike her 1124 01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,280 Speaker 1: and disease her. From the bottom of my heart, he 1125 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:47,600 Speaker 1: has not fit to live. I apologize for nothing. So 1126 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,960 Speaker 1: he is not saying Sarah is involved in any way. 1127 01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:53,720 Speaker 1: He is saying I killed him. The amount of time 1128 01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:57,680 Speaker 1: that he spent in solitary confinement, which was years, several 1129 01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 1: years as a young man created you know. I mean, 1130 01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:05,000 Speaker 1: you can imagine kind of a hardened hatred, and you know, 1131 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,240 Speaker 1: he came out and found out what a horrible person 1132 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,840 Speaker 1: Charles was because Charles and Sarah got married in the 1133 01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,440 Speaker 1: middle of IRA's prison sentence, so I don't even know 1134 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,519 Speaker 1: if he met Charles before Sarah married him. He gets 1135 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,920 Speaker 1: out and he finds out what a terrible person that 1136 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:26,160 Speaker 1: Charles is, and he says, I have absolutely no remorse whatsoever, 1137 01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,200 Speaker 1: and he kind of blames a third person who really 1138 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:34,040 Speaker 1: doesn't exist. But that's basically it. He tries to take 1139 01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:37,479 Speaker 1: his own life several times before execution. It doesn't work. 1140 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,840 Speaker 1: The governor, who's John King, you know, just finally says 1141 01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:45,040 Speaker 1: you're going to be executed. There's no stay of execution 1142 01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:49,280 Speaker 1: in any way, and so Ira is executed on October 1143 01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:52,800 Speaker 1: twenty second, eighteen fifty eight. Now, I don't know if 1144 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 1: you want to comment on all the stuff I said 1145 01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,400 Speaker 1: before about his motivation, his anger, all of that, but 1146 01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:00,519 Speaker 1: I do have an interesting caveat to happens at the 1147 01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 1: execution and then we still have Sarah. 1148 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, at least with what I'm hearing about Ira, 1149 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:10,320 Speaker 2: you know, in some ways, what he's doing is he's 1150 01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:16,799 Speaker 2: trying to take on this good Samaritan position. I killed 1151 01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,640 Speaker 2: Charles because of what Charles was doing to Sarah. And 1152 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160 Speaker 2: there may be truth to that, you know. I mean, 1153 01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 2: he's talking about Charles. Was it sounds like Charles is 1154 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:31,120 Speaker 2: physically abusing Sarah. He says he gave Sarah like a disease, 1155 01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 2: which I'm assuming is maybe a sexually transmitted disease because 1156 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,920 Speaker 2: of Charles, you know, indiscretions with other women, you know, 1157 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:42,360 Speaker 2: So there's a certain this is justified in IRA's mind 1158 01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:46,800 Speaker 2: as to why he killed Charles. Now, when I think 1159 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:51,160 Speaker 2: about the crime scene and the number of items from 1160 01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:55,839 Speaker 2: Sarah that are left at the crime scene, as well 1161 01:09:55,920 --> 01:10:02,080 Speaker 2: as Sarah's mom saying she washed Boody clothing of Sarah's afterwards, 1162 01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:07,120 Speaker 2: So now it's okay, So did Sarah participate in the 1163 01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:12,640 Speaker 2: violence on Charles or was she trying to intercede and 1164 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:17,080 Speaker 2: prevent Ira from doing what he did, Because even though 1165 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,479 Speaker 2: she's trying to divorce Charles. She has she has an 1166 01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:25,120 Speaker 2: emotional connection to Charles. So what is you know, is 1167 01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:29,240 Speaker 2: Sarah committing a homicide or is Sarah is the evidence 1168 01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,400 Speaker 2: of Sarah at the crime scene as a result of 1169 01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,439 Speaker 2: her trying to save Charles from Ira. But then once 1170 01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:37,960 Speaker 2: Charles is done, it's family sticks together. 1171 01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:42,200 Speaker 1: And Ira never implicates Sarah at all. He refuses to 1172 01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:43,000 Speaker 1: say anything. 1173 01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:48,120 Speaker 2: He's protecting his sister. You know, there's a family dynamic here, 1174 01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,799 Speaker 2: you know, So that's I am so skeptical of that position. 1175 01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:55,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a family dynamic that doesn't include Margaret, 1176 01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,800 Speaker 1: who threw them both under the bus. Say they both 1177 01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:01,040 Speaker 1: came home covered in boys she turned pretty quickly. 1178 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:02,599 Speaker 2: True, that's true. 1179 01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,280 Speaker 1: So they do. And we've probably talked about this before, 1180 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,920 Speaker 1: but I've had a lot of cases, including the Edward Ruloff. 1181 01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:11,480 Speaker 1: You know, one of my books had the jerk up method. 1182 01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 1: So the long drop is, you know, wh when they're 1183 01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 1: hanging someone in execution, the floor comes out and they 1184 01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 1: drop down. The jerk up method is something they used 1185 01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 1: in the eighteen hundreds where they would jerk you up 1186 01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,920 Speaker 1: and there would be a counterweight that drops, and it 1187 01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 1: almost never worked. It strangled you and that's what happened 1188 01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,240 Speaker 1: to Ira. So it took him I think they said 1189 01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,439 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes and he died of strangulation. And they still 1190 01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,960 Speaker 1: continued to do this for decades and decades until they 1191 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,920 Speaker 1: finally said maybe this is inhumane and ended up with 1192 01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,320 Speaker 1: a long drop instead. So that was his ending. 1193 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:46,760 Speaker 2: Here, hangings are brutal, no. 1194 01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:51,360 Speaker 1: Sarah goes on trial a few months before IRA's executed. 1195 01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:56,559 Speaker 1: Sarah pleads guilty, but to manslaughter in the second degree, 1196 01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:01,760 Speaker 1: and she blames Ira. She said he planned it, he 1197 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,040 Speaker 1: did the execution. I was there and I don't know 1198 01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:08,360 Speaker 1: what was going to happen. But she sentenced to seven 1199 01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:14,160 Speaker 1: years in prison. It sing sing. So after Ira is executed, 1200 01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:18,000 Speaker 1: Sarah writes her own little pamphlet, her own confession, and 1201 01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,559 Speaker 1: she explains things and so tell me what you think 1202 01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:24,160 Speaker 1: about this. So she calls it the falls Field tragedy 1203 01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:27,920 Speaker 1: exclamation point. So she admits to being at the murder scene, 1204 01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,360 Speaker 1: of course, because they have all that evidence. But she 1205 01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 1: says she had not known that Irah was going to 1206 01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 1: do this. He told her that he was on he 1207 01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:39,400 Speaker 1: was going to cure quote unquote Charles of his jealous 1208 01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 1: and abusive behavior and so she said, I didn't know 1209 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 1: what he was going to do. If he was just 1210 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:45,880 Speaker 1: going to beat him up and tell him to stop 1211 01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,559 Speaker 1: stalking me and hurting me. But she said, I didn't 1212 01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 1: know he was going to do this. So this is 1213 01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,880 Speaker 1: the most information we have about what actually happened. She 1214 01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:58,640 Speaker 1: said that on the day of the murder, Ira told Charles, 1215 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,080 Speaker 1: you need to come out out. Your wife is going 1216 01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:04,120 Speaker 1: to see the man that she's dating, and you need 1217 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:08,200 Speaker 1: to intervene in some way, which, of course Charles flipped out. 1218 01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:10,679 Speaker 1: He hates mister Patterson. This is of course a lie. 1219 01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:16,080 Speaker 1: And what Ira, apparently according to Sarah, wanted was for 1220 01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:18,760 Speaker 1: Charles to step out on that rickety bridge where the 1221 01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:22,160 Speaker 1: other guy fell Nathan fell, and then you know, he 1222 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:23,760 Speaker 1: was going to push him off and then it would 1223 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,000 Speaker 1: look like an accident, which is exactly what happened with 1224 01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:29,960 Speaker 1: the other guy. Instead, she said that he did not 1225 01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:34,680 Speaker 1: cross the bridge, so Ira kind of met him at 1226 01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,960 Speaker 1: the beginning and pulled out a hammer, and that's where 1227 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,800 Speaker 1: he beat him, and then he threw his corpse from 1228 01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:44,439 Speaker 1: the bridge, and that's when the whole thing, the you know, 1229 01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:47,800 Speaker 1: the different levels happened. So he and Sarah now Sarah 1230 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:51,000 Speaker 1: does say this. They both got, of course, really freaked out, 1231 01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:56,360 Speaker 1: and they tried to climb down the precipice to the 1232 01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:59,840 Speaker 1: ledge where his body had landed, and they both fell. 1233 01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure Sarah is not wearing clothing for climbing, and 1234 01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,480 Speaker 1: that's how Ira broke his arm and she broke her wrist. 1235 01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:10,679 Speaker 1: And you know, once they got home, the mom helped 1236 01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,599 Speaker 1: them get rid of the evidence, and she threw IRA's 1237 01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:18,120 Speaker 1: cap and Sarah's hat and the hammer into the outhouse 1238 01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,800 Speaker 1: vault and then they find this stuff. I was going 1239 01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:22,360 Speaker 1: to show the hammer. It's not a big deal, but 1240 01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:26,200 Speaker 1: it's a thirteen inch cast hammer and they find it 1241 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 1: in the outhouse and it is broken on one side, 1242 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:33,080 Speaker 1: four inches long crack and two inches in diameter and 1243 01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,800 Speaker 1: has jagged edges. And they had thought that there was 1244 01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,240 Speaker 1: some sort of like a tool that maybe had been 1245 01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:41,040 Speaker 1: used in beating him with prongs and stuff like that, 1246 01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,960 Speaker 1: but she says that this is the hammer. Does that 1247 01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:45,040 Speaker 1: make sense makes sense to me? 1248 01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:50,920 Speaker 2: Well, it's consistent with the crime scene details. 1249 01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, but not her whether she was involved or I mean, 1250 01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:55,960 Speaker 1: do you believe when she says, I don't think he 1251 01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:56,800 Speaker 1: was going to kill him? 1252 01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:01,120 Speaker 2: Well, she is making an admission with what I heard 1253 01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:04,320 Speaker 2: that Ira may have told her, Hey, I'm going to 1254 01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:06,519 Speaker 2: get him to walk out onto the bridge and then 1255 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,840 Speaker 2: he's going to fall off. You know. So she went 1256 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:14,720 Speaker 2: into this with a knowledge that Charles may not survive 1257 01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 2: this interaction, and then things didn't go the way that 1258 01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,960 Speaker 2: Ira said how he planned it, you know, I guess, 1259 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,320 Speaker 2: you know, like her injuries are pretty extensive, the broken wrists, 1260 01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:33,559 Speaker 2: the black eyes, the abrasions. I'd probably be focusing in on, well, 1261 01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:39,559 Speaker 2: how far did she fall? Are those injuries consistent you know, 1262 01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:43,160 Speaker 2: with that fall? Or am I seeing something like, let's say, 1263 01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:47,519 Speaker 2: with modern pathology, are we seeing something more consistent with 1264 01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:51,240 Speaker 2: Oh no, you know, she is being punched in the 1265 01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:55,559 Speaker 2: face as Charles is trying to ward off Ira and Sarah. Yeah, 1266 01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:58,760 Speaker 2: you know, so you know that's right now. We'll never 1267 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,120 Speaker 2: get an answer to that quick question. But I do 1268 01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:05,800 Speaker 2: think that's you know, if that's with what Sarah has related, 1269 01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:10,599 Speaker 2: if that's truly how it went down, then I can 1270 01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,320 Speaker 2: see the manslaughter. 1271 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:15,800 Speaker 1: It was thirty feet by the way, I don't know 1272 01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,080 Speaker 1: if that's helpful for you. That first ledge that he 1273 01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:20,120 Speaker 1: hit that they had to climb down to to roll 1274 01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:21,560 Speaker 1: him to get the rest of the way. It was 1275 01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:22,639 Speaker 1: about a thirty foot drop. 1276 01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:27,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, Ira and Sarah didn't fall false thirty feet. 1277 01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 1: Well, but they say they slipped and fell. She says 1278 01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:33,599 Speaker 1: that they threw his corpse from the bridge, and when 1279 01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 1: they tried to descend the precipice to the ledge that 1280 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,519 Speaker 1: thirty feet they both fell and that's how he broke 1281 01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:40,840 Speaker 1: his arm and she broke her wrist. 1282 01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:45,280 Speaker 2: You know, I can see where. Yeah, during the course 1283 01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:48,120 Speaker 2: of the descent they fell a distance, but they didn't 1284 01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:51,880 Speaker 2: fall thirty feet. Yeah. Based off of those injury, I 1285 01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:54,639 Speaker 2: mean they likely would be dead. Okay. 1286 01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:58,599 Speaker 1: Well, Sarah is very good in prison, sing sing, and 1287 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,280 Speaker 1: she gets out after lesson six years and then disappears 1288 01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:06,920 Speaker 1: from the history books. So to summarize what sounds like, 1289 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:10,040 Speaker 1: a very bad man was murdered by the brother of 1290 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:13,320 Speaker 1: a woman who was being abused. It sounds like we 1291 01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:16,760 Speaker 1: don't know what her involvement was, but he is not 1292 01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:20,559 Speaker 1: the most sympathetic victim in the world. Ira, I don't 1293 01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,879 Speaker 1: know what his feelings were for his sister or vice versa, 1294 01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:28,280 Speaker 1: but before he died, he felt entirely justified by this. 1295 01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,800 Speaker 1: So I mean we talk about those cases where do 1296 01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,800 Speaker 1: I feel badly for Charles? No? No, not based on 1297 01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:37,559 Speaker 1: the information that not just the family said, but you 1298 01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,840 Speaker 1: know other people said, but the laws of law, and 1299 01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,479 Speaker 1: so you know, it sounds like they did kind of 1300 01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,639 Speaker 1: what was supposed to be done. So you know that 1301 01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:49,680 Speaker 1: that to me means this is a good case. I'm 1302 01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:53,599 Speaker 1: I can't really remember another case from the eighteen hundreds 1303 01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:56,559 Speaker 1: where you've been so involved that you really like, I mean, 1304 01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,160 Speaker 1: you really have enjoyed this case to a certain extent. 1305 01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:03,840 Speaker 2: I think it got distilled down pretty quickly into well, 1306 01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,360 Speaker 2: we know who did it, and we have admissions as 1307 01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:09,360 Speaker 2: to who did it. So what are the facts of 1308 01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:13,040 Speaker 2: the case, and then you know, what were the outcomes? 1309 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:19,520 Speaker 2: You know, Charles was dead, Ira was executed, Sarah served 1310 01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:23,080 Speaker 2: six years, and then I'm assuming live the rest of 1311 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:26,240 Speaker 2: her life. And you know, you know, part of looking 1312 01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:33,080 Speaker 2: back at the notes, Sarah was nineteen years old, you know, 1313 01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:38,160 Speaker 2: and so and Ira was coming out of prison. Ira 1314 01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 2: lived a criminal life, you know, so in many ways, 1315 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 2: Sarah is along for the ride, and to expect her 1316 01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:55,320 Speaker 2: to kind of at nineteen years old, to differentiate what's 1317 01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:59,240 Speaker 2: about to happen and what her role is and how 1318 01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,839 Speaker 2: culpable she is. You know, there's a lot of factors 1319 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:07,160 Speaker 2: going in, and so I think if what Sarah wrote 1320 01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:11,400 Speaker 2: is is accurate, I think I'm good with. You know, 1321 01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:16,479 Speaker 2: she served a sentence and even though this is literally 1322 01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:20,480 Speaker 2: this is a homicide, this is a murder, but her 1323 01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:26,680 Speaker 2: role in it was as an accessory versus primary, and 1324 01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,760 Speaker 2: she was under the influence of an older brother who 1325 01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:33,040 Speaker 2: had a criminal history, was more criminally sophisticated, has served 1326 01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:37,960 Speaker 2: prison time, and potentially had no clue as to how 1327 01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:44,080 Speaker 2: this would ultimately play out. Now, if Sarah is brandishing 1328 01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:49,080 Speaker 2: the brass knuckles and beating Charles to death, then she 1329 01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:53,439 Speaker 2: got away with murder. But I'm guessing, as I mentioned 1330 01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:55,360 Speaker 2: in the beginning, I believed a male is the one 1331 01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:59,400 Speaker 2: that committed this crime, and you know, Ira being the 1332 01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:04,479 Speaker 2: primary offender that is committing the violence makes sense to me, 1333 01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:08,960 Speaker 2: and that's Sarah was an accessory. I think the only 1334 01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:13,920 Speaker 2: thing that I would, you know, really have issues with 1335 01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:17,679 Speaker 2: if Sarah was the one that lured Charles to his death. 1336 01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,760 Speaker 2: You know, if she took that step going, I know 1337 01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:22,920 Speaker 2: IRA's going to kill him, and I'm going to put 1338 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:26,400 Speaker 2: myself out as bait to get him here to be killed. 1339 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:31,280 Speaker 2: Then I think Sarah has you know, she is culpable 1340 01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:37,360 Speaker 2: of murder, second degree murder, maybe even first depending on 1341 01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:40,519 Speaker 2: how it can be charged, even though Ira is the 1342 01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:43,439 Speaker 2: one that's actually committing the violence. But right now I 1343 01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:46,800 Speaker 2: think I'm I'm satisfied with what the results are. You know, 1344 01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:49,880 Speaker 2: of course we have the whole you know, Charles execution 1345 01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:53,880 Speaker 2: and how that went awry. I don't want to get 1346 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,920 Speaker 2: into that. You know, at that time, it sounds like 1347 01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:00,280 Speaker 2: death penalty was on the books in New York and 1348 01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:04,759 Speaker 2: they proved a case against Syron. He basically made admissions. 1349 01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:09,760 Speaker 1: Well, Paul Hols, you need a break, think because we 1350 01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,000 Speaker 1: have a break next week. We're on hiatus next week. 1351 01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 1: So that's good because you've been sober well, because you've 1352 01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:16,519 Speaker 1: been so involved with this case. I know that you're 1353 01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:18,040 Speaker 1: probably pretty wiped out at this point. 1354 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:19,880 Speaker 2: I'm almost sweating over here, Kate. 1355 01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, oh my god, it's the Seltzer. 1356 01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,320 Speaker 2: I think that's adding to it. 1357 01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:27,559 Speaker 1: So I will see you in two weeks. 1358 01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:29,080 Speaker 2: As always, I look forward to it. 1359 01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:36,639 Speaker 1: This has been an exactly right production for. 1360 01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:39,679 Speaker 2: Our sources and show notes go to exactly rightmedia dot 1361 01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:41,880 Speaker 2: com slash Buried Bones sources. 1362 01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:44,440 Speaker 1: Our senior producer is Alexis Emirosi. 1363 01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,719 Speaker 2: Research by Alison Trubble and Kate Winkler Dawson. 1364 01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,240 Speaker 1: Our mixing engineer is Ben Tolliday. 1365 01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:52,840 Speaker 2: Our theme song is by Tom Bryfogel. 1366 01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:55,080 Speaker 1: Our artwork is by Vanessa Lilac. 1367 01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:59,519 Speaker 2: Executive produced by Karen Kilgarriff, Georgia hard Stark and Danielle Kramer. 1368 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:04,400 Speaker 1: Follow Buried Bones on Instagram and Facebook at buried Bones pod. 1369 01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:07,400 Speaker 2: Kate's most recent book, All That Is Wicked, a Gilded 1370 01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,439 Speaker 2: Age story of murder and the race to decode the 1371 01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:11,720 Speaker 2: criminal mind, is available now, and. 1372 01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:16,080 Speaker 1: Paul's best selling memoir Unmasked, My life Solving America's Cold 1373 01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:17,920 Speaker 1: Cases is also available now. 1374 01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,960 Speaker 2: Listen to Buried Bones on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, 1375 01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:23,960 Speaker 2: or wherever you get your podcasts.
