Speaker 1: Hi, there is Steve Fishman from Orbit Media. I want
Speaker 1: to introduce today's featured episode. It's the pilot of our
Speaker 1: new true crime thriller, Killer Story. It's a series about
Speaker 1: a teenager with dreams, a murder that no one knew
Speaker 1: was a murder, and a reporter with a hidden past
Speaker 1: that drives her to pursue this hopeless story for years.
Speaker 1: You're going to love the reporter, brazen, cunning when she
Speaker 1: has to be, and always endlessly relentless. Oh and there's
Speaker 1: a love story in the middle of this podcast too.
Speaker 1: The series is distributed by Sony Music and you can
Speaker 1: listen wherever you get your podcasts, or you can hear
Speaker 1: all episodes of Killer Story right now by going to
Speaker 1: the Binge dot com enjoy. It's just after dawn in
Speaker 1: late September nineteen eighty seven and Tom Percival is about
Speaker 1: half an hour by car from Las Vegas. He's just
Speaker 1: launched his boat into the Colorado River. His wife is
Speaker 1: with him. They've planned a day with the kids playing
Speaker 1: in the river's clean, clear water.
Speaker 2: We were probably that ten twelve minutes into the water.
Speaker 1: As they head across the water, the two watch out
Speaker 1: for debris and their path.
Speaker 2: And that's when I see it. It's about seventy five
Speaker 2: feet away, seventy five eighty feet something like that. Dcolder
Speaker 2: was a log just looked like it was barely floating underwater,
Speaker 2: just barely breaking the surface.
Speaker 1: Tom's not convinced, so he steers the boat closer. As
Speaker 1: he approaches, time seems to stand still.
Speaker 2: I remembered everything. I mean, I could probably even tell
Speaker 2: you how many ripples were in the water at the time.
Speaker 1: Tom sees something unusual. He can't tell what it is.
Speaker 2: Looked like a beautiful mannequin. So I took the oar
Speaker 2: and kind of pushed on her, and she went about
Speaker 2: six inches under water and then floated back to the surface.
Speaker 2: And I'm going, no, it it was a girl. I
Speaker 2: didn't want to hurt her skin. I didn't want to
Speaker 2: touch right, I didn't want to touch her, and I
Speaker 2: was only just far away from her six eight inches.
Speaker 2: I remember looking at her hair, beautiful hair floating in
Speaker 2: the water, just floating out like a like a like
Speaker 2: a rainbow, kind of like it's beautiful. And she did
Speaker 2: have this like a mossy green tent all over the
Speaker 2: skin that I could see. And that's when I noticed
Speaker 2: a tear drop right in the corner of her eye.
Speaker 2: I saw a bloody tear. I had not lost it
Speaker 2: right there. I've said, who would do this to this
Speaker 2: poor girl?
Speaker 1: The girl's name was Sabrina Kid, but no one knew that.
Speaker 1: They won't know that for years. Nobody will know that
Speaker 1: Sabrina is dead, and still wouldn't know if not for
Speaker 1: the preternatural drive. I'm a total stranger, a stranger who
Speaker 1: decided for her own reasons to find out what happened
Speaker 1: to Sabrina. This is a story of lies, cons and
Speaker 1: cover ups.
Speaker 3: He said she never came home. That motherfucker's line.
Speaker 1: And if a woman compelled to get justice for someone
Speaker 1: she's never met.
Speaker 4: No one ever did tell me anything. I did it
Speaker 4: because I wanted to, because I was telling the truth.
Speaker 1: And it's a story of yearning for better endings, because I.
Speaker 5: Just want someone to love me, someone to care about
Speaker 5: me unconditionally.
Speaker 1: From Sony Music Entertainment and Orbit Media. You're listening to
Speaker 1: Killer Story ad free on the binge where you get
Speaker 1: all episodes all at once. This is episode one.
Speaker 6: Arose for Mom.
Speaker 1: Head west from the Colorado River and you'll most likely
Speaker 1: run into Las Vegas, known across America as Sin City.
Speaker 1: That's its attract Las Vegas is a place to do
Speaker 1: whatever you want. People float into Vegas to shake off
Speaker 1: their work today selves. They hit the Vegas Strip, a
Speaker 1: row of casinos with high stepping showgirls and flashing neon
Speaker 1: lights so bright you can see the miles into the
Speaker 1: Mojave Desert. Viva Las Vegas. A place where adults gamble
Speaker 1: on changing their stories. What Sin City is not is
Speaker 1: a place for a beautiful, naive teenager. So why in
Speaker 1: the late spring of nineteen eighty seven did seventeen year
Speaker 1: old Sabrina Kid moved to Vegas alone. The answers begin
Speaker 1: with her mother, don't they always. It's the nineteen eighties
Speaker 1: and Sabrina is a child living with her mom, Bobby
Speaker 1: Sue in Texas.
Speaker 5: She worshiped her mom.
Speaker 1: This is Dewana, Sabrina's first cousin.
Speaker 5: I remember when I would go over and I would
Speaker 5: spend the weekend. Were at my aunt Bobby's, and Sabrina
Speaker 5: and I would we would go walk the Strip mall.
Speaker 1: Sabrina was probably eight or nine at the time. At
Speaker 1: the strip mall, they drifted past store windows, peering in
Speaker 1: until Sabrina found what she wanted, always the same thing.
Speaker 5: Then her pride deal was always to stop and get
Speaker 5: her mom a rose.
Speaker 1: And so I picture a young girl walking with a
Speaker 1: single rose in her hand. She holds it in front
Speaker 1: of her like a candle. I imagine it's red. She's
Speaker 1: moving with purpose, eager to get home to Mom with
Speaker 1: her special gifts. But Mom wasn't always there, not emotionally
Speaker 1: at least. Mom was beautiful herself, a playboy model at
Speaker 1: one point, according to Dowana, and men flocked. And when
Speaker 1: a man came into Bobby Sue's life, well that's when
Speaker 1: Mom's focus changed and Sabrina was out of the picture.
Speaker 5: She spoiled Sabrina and gave her just about whatever she wanted,
Speaker 5: I mean material things she didn't do without. But my
Speaker 5: mom was always gone. So you know, as long as
Speaker 5: Sabrina got in the way of her boyfriends or got
Speaker 5: in the way of anything, then you know, she just
Speaker 5: shoved her off onto people.
Speaker 1: At seventeen, Sabrina moved in with Dewana, whose family had
Speaker 1: migrated from Texas to Vegas. They shared an apartment for
Speaker 1: a time.
Speaker 5: She was there in the one bed, and I was
Speaker 5: in the other bed and I asked her, I said,
Speaker 5: what do you want? And she goes, I just want
Speaker 5: someone to love me, someone to care about me unconditionally
Speaker 5: and not judge me.
Speaker 1: Did you remember saying anything to that?
Speaker 5: I told her, you know, I love you.
Speaker 1: Sabrina wasn't particularly bold or assertive. She didn't strike people
Speaker 1: as driven. She was running from not too but she
Speaker 1: was a good friend, the kind everyone values. This is
Speaker 1: her friend Jennifer.
Speaker 3: She was just a really nice, good hearted person, and
Speaker 3: she was very trusting, and she was a good friend.
Speaker 3: And the big standout for me is that she was
Speaker 3: just just really kind.
Speaker 1: Sabrina did have moments of conflict, and not just with
Speaker 1: her mother. A few weeks after she moved in with
Speaker 1: her cousin do Wana, they had a falling out. Do
Speaker 1: Wanna didn't approve of a guy Sabrina was seeing so
Speaker 1: much for unconditional love. The boyfriend was soon gone and
Speaker 1: Sabrina was on her own again, hunting for a job
Speaker 1: and a home where she felt welcome. I imagine her
Speaker 1: rippling with anxiety, and yeah, I find that heartbreaking. Seventeen
Speaker 1: and on your own and just wanting to be loved.
Speaker 1: Then she met Jim and life seemed to get better.
Speaker 1: They met at a party.
Speaker 7: As as I saw her, I was like, Wow, she's
Speaker 7: a kiddie, and so obviously I.
Speaker 8: Started to strike up the conversation and we just hit
Speaker 8: it off.
Speaker 1: This is Jim Bixel. Jim was a good looking Vegas native.
Speaker 1: He sported a moment when it was the going fashion
Speaker 1: and usually wore a leather motorcycle jacket.
Speaker 7: She didn't get into detail with me, but just the
Speaker 7: little things that she did tell me.
Speaker 8: Yeah, she did not have a great childhood.
Speaker 7: So one of my goals was just for me to
Speaker 7: make sure she had a great time whenever we were together.
Speaker 1: A lot of those great times involved Jim's motorcycle.
Speaker 7: I bought a Kawasaki Ninja six hundred. The cross Rocket
Speaker 7: is what we called it. On the weekends, we'd meet
Speaker 7: at the Old Wet and Wild Water Park on Las
Speaker 7: Vegas Boulevard on the strip, right next to Sarah Hotel,
Speaker 7: and then at midnight we would all take off and
Speaker 7: we do really fast long rides.
Speaker 8: Somewhere. We went up to Mount Charleston.
Speaker 1: Mount Charleston is over two miles high.
Speaker 7: We came down that canyon and we were doing one
Speaker 7: hundred and thirty five hundred and forty miles an hour.
Speaker 7: She was definitely pulled it on for dear life. She
Speaker 7: would love going fast. She would say, you know, right
Speaker 7: on the bike really makes me feel free.
Speaker 1: In Las Vegas, friends remember Sabrina as a blonde, though
Speaker 1: I've seen early photos, and in them she's a brunette
Speaker 1: with thick, gentle waves of hair. She has hazel eyes.
Speaker 1: Her skin is almost as pale as her shining teeth.
Speaker 1: In most of the photos, she's smiling, though it strikes
Speaker 1: me as the smile you put on for the camera,
Speaker 1: thinking one thing, showing another. To me, Sabrina looks almost
Speaker 1: middle aged in these photos. In one she actually wears pearls.
Speaker 1: She looks ready for a job as a bank teller
Speaker 1: in Vegas. Sabrina seems to shake off the person she
Speaker 1: was for one thing. She lightens her hair and she
Speaker 1: crafts a signature hairstyle, short on one side, long on
Speaker 1: the other, and sometimes she manages to feel free. Jim
Speaker 1: introduces Sabrina to his friends. One a childhood friend lives
Speaker 1: with his girlfriend at his father's house. Turns out that
Speaker 1: his father has an extra bedroom to rent and Sabrina
Speaker 1: jumps at the chance.
Speaker 8: So Sabrina liked that idea, said yeah, I'll do that.
Speaker 1: Sabrina hasn't had a steady address in the six months
Speaker 1: she's been in Vegas, and now that problem seems solved.
Speaker 1: Life seems to be getting better and better for Sabrina.
Speaker 1: A dependable living situation, new friends, a boyfriend who makes
Speaker 1: her feel free, and she's recently interviewed for a job
Speaker 1: at the fashion wall and she landed it, her first
Speaker 1: solid gig since arriving in Las Vegas. She seems to have,
Speaker 1: to her credit, developed a network of support in an
Speaker 1: intimidating new city. And then another break. Her friend's father,
Speaker 1: her landlord.
Speaker 7: He asked her something the effect of, hey, what do
Speaker 7: you want to do ultimately with your life?
Speaker 8: And she said, you know, I'd like to be a model.
Speaker 1: And her landlord, a kind fatherly figure, encouraged her. And
Speaker 1: so for Sabrina kid life is looking pretty good. She's
Speaker 1: too young to gamble, but it's as if she walked
Speaker 1: into a casino and exited with a pocket full of cash.
Speaker 1: And then, just as everything is coming together, one morning
Speaker 1: in late summer, one of Sabrina's best friends knocks on
Speaker 1: her door, expecting to spend the day with her. Instead,
Speaker 1: she learns that Sabrina didn't come home home the previous night.
Speaker 1: No one sees her ever again. Sabrina vanishes. Why How?
Speaker 1: What happened to this promising life? On that late summer
Speaker 1: morning in Las Vegas, Sabrina made a couple of close friends,
Speaker 1: Jennifer and Crystal. They were the same age as Sabrina, seventeen.
Speaker 1: They'd grown up in Vegas. The three were a striking trio, young,
Speaker 1: full of life and pretty. They snuck into Caesar's Palace
Speaker 1: to hear their favorite bands. They went to high school parties.
Speaker 1: They talked nearly every day. This is Jennifer, you.
Speaker 3: Talk about like girl shed and boys and what are
Speaker 3: we doing this weekend? And what are you wearing? That's
Speaker 3: the kind of stuff today. It's weekend to weekend. It's
Speaker 3: not really deep like oh my mother's you know it
Speaker 3: doesn't It never got into that.
Speaker 1: So you were all seventeen, Yeah, Vegas was a good
Speaker 1: town to be seventeen, and it was because.
Speaker 3: You knew everybody. You know, there was only so many
Speaker 3: high schools. Everybody knew everybody.
Speaker 1: So they did last Vegacy things like hang on the
Speaker 1: strip and teenage things like attend a junior varsity football game,
Speaker 1: which is what was on the agenda on what would
Speaker 1: be the evening before Sabrina disappeared. After Sabrina vanished, Jennifer
Speaker 1: and Crystal Wood review again and again their last hours together.
Speaker 1: It's September seventeenth, nineteen eighty seven. The evening starts with
Speaker 1: a junior varsity football game at Valley High School. It's
Speaker 1: a bit after sunset, and Crystal picks up some Sabrina
Speaker 1: doesn't have a car, though with her new job, it's
Speaker 1: on her list. As usual, Sabrina looks great. She's tall
Speaker 1: and slender. Her nails are painted pink, her favorite color
Speaker 1: from childhood. A couple of boys decide to flirt with Sabrina,
Speaker 1: which annoys the boys at girlfriend's harshing the mellow Crystal
Speaker 1: and Sabrina leave in a bad mood, talking about those
Speaker 1: rude girls. A bit after eight pm, Crystal drops Sabrina
Speaker 1: off at her place. An hour or so later that
Speaker 1: same evening, so still September seventeenth, Jennifer picks Sabrina up
Speaker 1: around nine pm. They head over to Jennifer's boyfriend's apartment.
Speaker 1: He's older and has his own place. Both Jennifer and
Speaker 1: Sabrina spend the night. It's now morning, September eighteenth. Sabrina's
Speaker 1: running late for work and starts shaking Jennifer awake. Sabrina
Speaker 1: needs a rick home because Crystal is picking her up.
Speaker 1: Crystal and Sabrina are both working at Lane Brian at
Speaker 1: the fashion mall and they can't be late, so Jennifer
Speaker 1: drives Sabrina back to her place. She drops Sabrina at
Speaker 1: about eight thirty in the morning. The drop off will
Speaker 1: stick in Jennifer's mind because Sabrina doesn't have her keys.
Speaker 1: She empties her purse in Jennifer's car looking for them,
Speaker 1: but no luck. Sabrina has to knock on the door.
Speaker 1: Jennifer remembers that the landlord lets Sabrina in. You dropped
Speaker 1: her off at like nine in the morning and it
Speaker 1: was early yeah.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 1: About an hour later, Crystal pulls up to Sabrina's place.
Speaker 1: It's around nine to thirty in the morning. Sitting in
Speaker 1: her car, Crystal honks, expecting Sabrina to pop out. As
Speaker 1: her friends know, Sabrina is dependable and always He's punctual,
Speaker 1: but Sabrina doesn't appear, so Crystal gets out of her
Speaker 1: car and goes to the front door and knocks two times,
Speaker 1: three times. The door finally opens, but only a few inches.
Speaker 1: It's the landlord in his bathrobe. Usually he's friendly to
Speaker 1: Crystal and invites her in. This morning, he seems put out.
Speaker 1: Crystal asks him, you've seen Sabrina. We're supposed to go
Speaker 1: to work. I told her I would meet her. She's
Speaker 1: not home. The landlord tells her he doesn't know where
Speaker 1: she is, so Crystal heads to work alone. Sabrina doesn't
Speaker 1: show up. Cristal doesn't hear from Sabrina all day, and
Speaker 1: neither does Jennifer, and they're usually in touch daily. Sabrina
Speaker 1: had mentioned an opportunity to go to California for free
Speaker 1: that weekend. Maybe she's taken up that offer. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: kind to modeling work or that guy she just meant. Still,
Speaker 1: it isn't like Sabrina to be out of touch. Jennifer says,
Speaker 1: they have to go to the police.
Speaker 3: We waited twenty four hours and then we went to
Speaker 3: the police. We said she's missing, something happened, and they
Speaker 3: just didn't believe us. One point, they said that she
Speaker 3: was class as a runaway and there's nothing they could do.
Speaker 1: Jennifer isn't satisfied when Sabrina doesn't show up. In the
Speaker 1: next couple of days, she and Crystal returned to the
Speaker 1: police department. This time the cops accused them.
Speaker 3: I remember them saying, oh, you were a prostitute that
Speaker 3: went to Caesar's Palace, and I was like, no, even
Speaker 3: if it was for it had nothing to fucking do
Speaker 3: with the fact that she's missing. I remember being so
Speaker 3: fucking angry.
Speaker 1: What happens after Jennifer and Crystal visit the police. As
Speaker 1: far as they can tell, nothing. Sabrina's case is filed
Speaker 1: with the files of hundreds of other missing teenagers, seemingly
Speaker 1: a final resting spot, except that her family back in Texas,
Speaker 1: Bobby Sue. Sabrina's mother, along with her aunt, will not
Speaker 1: give up. They scour missing person reports from around the country.
Speaker 1: They reach out to media. If they could just get
Speaker 1: her image on TV, maybe someone would recognize her four
Speaker 1: excruciating years past like this, it's now nineteen ninety one,
Speaker 1: and someone mother or aunt gets an idea. There's a
Speaker 1: very popular new tabloid TV show, A current affair maybe
Speaker 1: they'd taken an interest in the story of a beautiful
Speaker 1: teenager who mysteriously vanishes in Las Vegas. It's worth a shot.
Speaker 4: And I'm sitting there one day on the phone rings
Speaker 4: and I pick it up.
Speaker 1: So in nineteen ninety one, Lindall Marx answers the phone
Speaker 1: in her office. Lindall is at that moment a new
Speaker 1: reporter at the wildly popular TV show A turn affair
Speaker 1: leader in the newest TV genre, the tabloid.
Speaker 4: I mean, we would get calls often. It would be
Speaker 4: people that knew were crazy, people who just had dumb stories,
Speaker 4: just unbelievable stories, or you know, I've spotted a celebrity
Speaker 4: or whatever, and you know, how much? How much will
Speaker 4: you pay for my tape today?
Speaker 1: The caller is a woman, middle aged. From the sound
Speaker 1: of her voice, I've spoken a Texas draw. She introduces
Speaker 1: herself as the aunt Lindall. Here's the mother in the background.
Speaker 4: So I'm talking to her. I'm talking to her and
Speaker 4: and they weren't crazy at all. And this woman tells
Speaker 4: me that her niece is missing, and my first reaction
Speaker 4: was okay.
Speaker 1: Theann explains that her niece was living in Las Vegas
Speaker 1: when she vanished.
Speaker 4: And she was clearly upset. We have phoned newspapers, We've
Speaker 4: phoned other people in the media, we have phoned the
Speaker 4: local press. No one cares. We can't get anyone to
Speaker 4: do anything. You are our last resort, right Okay, So
Speaker 4: what have you done? Have you told the police? Yes,
Speaker 4: but the police have done nothing. What do you mean
Speaker 4: the police have done nothing. We reported her missing a
Speaker 4: few days after she went miss they've done nothing. And
Speaker 4: when I hear that, that makes me go, I'm here
Speaker 4: for you. I will listen to you.
Speaker 1: Linda is in her twenties and already a seasoned reporter.
Speaker 1: She comes from a hard news background. She's Australian, but
Speaker 1: more at home in a place like New York, where
Speaker 1: ambition and she's ambitious matters.
Speaker 8: I've seen a.
Speaker 1: Bunch of her TV segments from the nineties, and she
Speaker 1: looks cool in a ninety sort of way, petite with
Speaker 1: perfect bangs and those shoulder pads that seem so excellent
Speaker 1: back then. She's down to earth. She does her own
Speaker 1: makeup for TV. As a reporter, she's old school, lots
Speaker 1: of shoe leather, door knocking, file searching, and relentless like
Speaker 1: irrationally relentless, prides herself on that. The word hard bitten
Speaker 1: comes to mind.
Speaker 4: You never take no for an answer.
Speaker 1: But also she's like wildly idealless. She seems to truly
Speaker 1: believe that her efforts, her relentless efforts, can change the
Speaker 1: course of history.
Speaker 4: If I feel like there's a big man kicking a
Speaker 4: little guy in the guts, I will go after that story.
Speaker 4: I will go after that with aggression and passion.
Speaker 1: And from where she sits at a desk on a
Speaker 1: phone in a New York office, the mom and the
Speaker 1: aunt in Texas are the little guys. Lindall can't believe
Speaker 1: that the cops shrugged at the report of their missing girl,
Speaker 1: that they shirked their duty for a soft spoken, helpless
Speaker 1: aunt and mother. The system couldn't be bothered, or so
Speaker 1: it seemed to Lindall at that moment. On the phone,
Speaker 1: the aunt shares more details. She says, her niece disappeared
Speaker 1: from Las Vegas when she was seventeen.
Speaker 4: I asked her when did she go missing? She said,
Speaker 4: four years ago?
Speaker 1: WHOA, Lindall? Four years ago? And they're just popping up now.
Speaker 1: If there was a trail, it's not there. Anymore. That
Speaker 1: timetable would have made a lot of reporters hang up.
Speaker 1: Lindall keeps listening.
Speaker 4: So she's begging me to help. I just I filled
Speaker 4: a connection with that family. I felt their pain, and
Speaker 4: I just I felt something was wrong. People don't just
Speaker 4: disappear into thin air.
Speaker 1: So, Lindall, you thought everyone's pushed him aside, so you
Speaker 1: can do something different.
Speaker 4: Yeah, one, just one problem.
Speaker 1: Lindall doesn't actually have the authority to decide what story
Speaker 1: she works on at a current affair. There's a chain
Speaker 1: of command, So she hangs up with the mother and
Speaker 1: aunt and heads to the office of news editor Dan,
Speaker 1: meaning it's Dan who clears or kills story ideas. Reporters
Speaker 1: are in and out of his office all day. It's
Speaker 1: a busy place. Lindall edges her way in. This is Dan.
Speaker 9: She came up to me and said she got a
Speaker 9: phone call and what do I think of this story?
Speaker 9: I said, it's some missing persons. We don't do missing persons.
Speaker 9: There's no conclusion to the story, and she kept insisting
Speaker 9: there was. I said, I can't, no, I can't waste
Speaker 9: any money on this. I'm sorry, there.
Speaker 4: Is something going on here. This this just doesn't sound right.
Speaker 4: She's so young. How do you not follow this kid?
Speaker 4: She's a baby? How do you not follow that? How
Speaker 4: do you ignore a mother?
Speaker 9: She argued with me and said, it's a story here,
Speaker 9: I'm telling you I feel it. This is a missing girl,
Speaker 9: and it's not a murder investigation, and we don't have facts.
Speaker 9: What is the viewer going to walk away with?
Speaker 1: Lindall, He's being clear, Stop the nonsense, get back to work.
Speaker 9: You know, this is a sausage factory and I've got
Speaker 9: to come up with about four or five stories a night.
Speaker 9: So I can't be wasting my time on stories that
Speaker 9: I feel doesn't have a conclusion.
Speaker 4: Lindall's reaction, Yeah, totally fuck off.
Speaker 1: All right, So a girl is missing, a girl who
Speaker 1: because a one phone call Linda feels tied to and
Speaker 1: so guess what, Linda will find a way.
Speaker 4: When I feel something and my instinct is telling me
Speaker 4: this is right, I have to follow this, I will
Speaker 4: follow it. I will go down every rabbit hole if
Speaker 4: I feel like a victim hasn't been given a voice,
Speaker 4: I won't stop until I have found a way to
Speaker 4: tell that story.
Speaker 1: Now there's a reason that Lindall is so compelled by
Speaker 1: this phone call and by this story, a reason that
Speaker 1: Lyndall's kept secret for years, a reason that she's ready
Speaker 1: to reveal on this podcast to a national audience. Just
Speaker 1: like it's a segment on a current affair, only better
Speaker 1: next time. On Killer Story, Lyndall's secret revealed.
Speaker 4: A friend of mine came to visit me and she
Speaker 4: just walked in and I remember the shock on her face.
Speaker 10: I felt an incredible sadness because I could feel that
Speaker 10: it was going to have an impact on her for
Speaker 10: the rest of her life, not in a good way.
Speaker 4: I completely connected to what happened to me.
Speaker 3: I was glad somebody was investigating it, and I remember
Speaker 3: being glad somebody believed that.
Speaker 9: If this wouldn't have worked for lend her career at
Speaker 9: a corner, fair may have come to a dead end.
Speaker 4: You wake up one morning, you go, screw it, I
Speaker 4: need to do the story.
