Speaker 1: A note to the listener. The following story contains some
Speaker 1: adult content and language. Welcome back to the podcast. Full
Speaker 1: disclosure before we get started, I want you to know
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of ground to cover. My mother
Speaker 1: used to say all he cared about was that kid
Speaker 1: girl meeting the angel. It makes more sense now. The
Speaker 1: Angel of Vine was a case with little to no
Speaker 1: information surrounding it. When it seemed as if there was
Speaker 1: nowhere left to look, everyone just stopped looking. Everyone except
Speaker 1: for Hank Briggs Jesus Christ. A warning to the possibly squeamish.
Speaker 1: What you're about to hear is Hank reading Detective Lieutenant
Speaker 1: Robert Perkins report of when he first arrived at the
Speaker 1: crime scene. The victim in question would later be identified
Speaker 1: as Marlene Marie Evans, dubbed by the media the Angel
Speaker 1: of Vine. Body was a soupine let's face up in
Speaker 1: the parking lot, head pointed south, feet pointing to the north.
Speaker 1: The legs of the victim were crushed and the arms
Speaker 1: were pointing downward. Each of the forty five gree angle
Speaker 1: with the poems facing up towards the sky. Victims ribs
Speaker 1: were protruding outward from behind the torso on either side
Speaker 1: of the body at a forty five degree angle, pointing
Speaker 1: solid directly over the head of the body, formed a
Speaker 1: semicircle of twelve bones. God that poor cross parts. And
Speaker 1: here we are, decades later, with an entire attic filled
Speaker 1: with audio recordings of an X cop turned private detective
Speaker 1: who got closer than anyone to solving the murder and
Speaker 1: didn't tell us all. You can subscribe to The Angel
