0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>A note to the listener. The following story contains some

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>adult content and language. Welcome back to the podcast. Full

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.239
<v Speaker 1>disclosure before we get started, I want you to know

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>that there's a lot of ground to cover. My mother

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>used to say all he cared about was that kid

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:26.439
<v Speaker 1>girl meeting the angel. It makes more sense now. The

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Angel of Vine was a case with little to no

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>information surrounding it. When it seemed as if there was

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>nowhere left to look, everyone just stopped looking. Everyone except

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>for Hank Briggs Jesus Christ. A warning to the possibly squeamish.

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>What you're about to hear is Hank reading Detective Lieutenant

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Robert Perkins report of when he first arrived at the

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>crime scene. The victim in question would later be identified

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>as Marlene Marie Evans, dubbed by the media the Angel

0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>of Vine. Body was a soupine let's face up in

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the parking lot, head pointed south, feet pointing to the north.

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>The legs of the victim were crushed and the arms

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 1>were pointing downward. Each of the forty five gree angle

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>with the poems facing up towards the sky. Victims ribs

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>were protruding outward from behind the torso on either side

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.759
<v Speaker 1>of the body at a forty five degree angle, pointing

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>solid directly over the head of the body, formed a

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>semicircle of twelve bones. God that poor cross parts. And

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>here we are, decades later, with an entire attic filled

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.839
<v Speaker 1>with audio recordings of an X cop turned private detective

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>who got closer than anyone to solving the murder and

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't tell us all. You can subscribe to The Angel
