00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: A note to the listener. The following story contains some

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: adult content and language. Welcome back to the podcast. Full

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: disclosure before we get started, I want you to know

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of ground to cover. My mother

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: used to say all he cared about was that kid

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: girl meeting the angel. It makes more sense now. The

7
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: Angel of Vine was a case with little to no

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: information surrounding it. When it seemed as if there was

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: nowhere left to look, everyone just stopped looking. Everyone except

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: for Hank Briggs Jesus Christ. A warning to the possibly squeamish.

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: What you're about to hear is Hank reading Detective Lieutenant

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: Robert Perkins report of when he first arrived at the

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: crime scene. The victim in question would later be identified

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: as Marlene Marie Evans, dubbed by the media the Angel

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: of Vine. Body was a soupine let's face up in

16
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: the parking lot, head pointed south, feet pointing to the north.

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: The legs of the victim were crushed and the arms

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: were pointing downward. Each of the forty five gree angle

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: with the poems facing up towards the sky. Victims ribs

20
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: were protruding outward from behind the torso on either side

21
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: of the body at a forty five degree angle, pointing

22
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: solid directly over the head of the body, formed a

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: semicircle of twelve bones. God that poor cross parts. And

24
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: here we are, decades later, with an entire attic filled

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: with audio recordings of an X cop turned private detective

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: who got closer than anyone to solving the murder and

27
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: didn't tell us all. You can subscribe to The Angel
