November 28, 2024 / 43:25

This episode features listener tales focused on home invasions and kidnapping, with stories shared by guests April, Devon, Molly, and Eli.

April recounts a chilling story from 1977 in Cicero, Illinois, where a man attempted to kidnap her younger brother Bobby through a basement window. The story takes a surprising turn when it is revealed that Bobby was actually safe, sitting with a neighbor who mistook him for his own child.

Devon shares a personal encounter with a potential kidnapper in the early '90s, where a woman with a stroller approached her while she played outside. Thankfully, her mother intervened just in time, and years later, Devon learned that the woman was connected to the infamous kidnapping case of Jaycee Dugard.

Molly discusses a home invasion incident in 2020, detailing how her apartment was broken into while she and her boyfriend were away. The couple's security camera footage ultimately helped police catch the burglar, who was linked to multiple crimes.

Eli shares a harrowing experience involving a man who broke into their apartment while they were home. Eli's quick thinking and bravery led to a confrontation, ultimately resulting in the intruder being apprehended by the police.

TLDR

Listener tales of home invasions and kidnapping reveal shocking encounters and unexpected resolutions.

00:04:06
Sophia from The Golden Girls on the phone of course like picture it the summer of
00:04:11
1977 the heat and humidity of the day simmering off the asphalt in a small there it is there you go in a small
00:04:18
brick bungalow style home my mother sauntered about in the stagnant heat of the kitchen her youngest sat upon her
00:04:24
hip mwah the child so Angelic and small was only months old her strawberry red hair plastered to her absolutely
00:04:32
adorable and Whittle head poetic license will be used and most likely abused in the basement of this Bungalow is the
00:04:39
rest of the Schmucks and staff or I mean my siblings my sister Coco nine at the time my brother Benny 10 Joe 8 Rodrigo 7
00:04:48
and Bobby 5 they played about in the coolest spot in the house without a care in the world wreaking havoc amongst each
00:04:55
other because kids am I right you're right you are right oh and also because boys they do be rambunctious any hoole
00:05:03
as they played about in the basement and unbeknownst to my mother a man creeped in behind but this is horrifying a man
00:05:09
creeped in between the narrow walkway beh between our home and the neighbors he stopped at the small window a window
00:05:16
barely any bigger than a doggy door that sat at ground level peering into the basement he beat on the window until
00:05:23
breaking the glass not the glass like there's children in there I think that's kind of
00:05:30
his objective I hate that I know I hate him for that I do too near that window was little Bobby not little Bobby Bobby
00:05:39
Bobby standing there with his little Root Beer Belly chubby cheeks his dark hair growing darker with sweat the man
00:05:46
reached in and yed him out of the basement yoink and into the oven bye-bye little Bobby bye-bye I didn't say that
00:05:53
you did Coco Benny Joe and Rodrigo ran upstairs to the kitchen they reached my mom started pulling on her shirt mom mom
00:06:02
they started yelling he grabbed Bobby he grabbed Bobby he pulled him out the window here's the thing I would have
00:06:08
died if I was that mother yeah on impact your kids run up to you and say he grabbed Bobby he grabbed a Bobby he
00:06:15
pulled him out the window Dead how do you react to that she throws the baby and goes to get the B holy [ __ ] my
00:06:23
mother obviously in shock handed The Golden Child the beautiful little baby so sweet
00:06:29
and innocent to her sister Coco and went down to the basement to see the destruction for herself not quite
00:06:34
believing what she heard as the kids said the window was broken with only small shards
00:06:39
still small shards small shards still only small chards what is it chards shards it's shards shards correctly
00:06:47
right okay it's like small shards I don't know why that sounded so wrong in my head still sticking inside the frame
00:06:54
the police were called and alerted to the situation I'm horrified for your entire family scary as everyone went
00:07:01
outside to wait for the police my brothers pointed to the elderly neighbor sitting in the backyard rocking away on
00:07:06
his glider while drinking mommy he is the man who took Bobby no just went across the street no
00:07:16
next to the elderly neighbor was a little dark-haired boy with his own drink it's
00:07:22
Bobby what the [ __ ] is going on here hello what is going on if you guess that it was my brother sitting with the
00:07:29
neighbor you would be correct yes the elderly neighbor was lonely and just wanted to share a beer and a chat with
00:07:35
someone I'm sorry yeah I'm sorry no he wasn't all there no yeah no his family was located and called to help his son
00:07:45
arrived and was very apologetic eventually our neighbor was placed in a nursing home to get the 24/7 care he
00:07:51
needed and all was well again that is so sad I know and so horrifying it's so sad
00:07:56
on so many levels because um childhood trauma and then obvious that neighbor all there mean any
00:08:06
har holy [ __ ] yeah even though there was still glass left in the frame little Bobby was not injured at all in my best
00:08:13
Keith Morrison impression I don't see Bobby drinking much beer could it be because of this incident could it be
00:08:20
because he prefers the harder stuff we'll never no to this day my siblings still refus to answer the question of
00:08:28
did he really reach down and grab him or did you all just lift him up as an offering I love that I love it so I love

Deon this story takes place in the good old old early '90s hell when kids like me often ran around unsupervised outside
00:09:33
and I was usually Barefoot my family didn't have a lot of money I lived in a small rented house on the outskirts of
00:09:40
anat talk I think it is I like it Antioch Cal somewhere in California I just said
00:09:47
California I have to go we're struggling we really are it's kind of late all right you lived in California uh then
00:09:54
small City about 30 mil outside of San Francisco in the East Bay o it was seemingly a normal summer afternoon and
00:10:01
being the oldest child with an infant sibling to entertain me I was out uh I was playing out front of my house alone
00:10:08
my family sorry I need to zoom in because I'm literally blind it's who I am your salad fingers it's very
00:10:16
hot H La it was a seemingly normal summer afternoon and being the oldest child with only an infant sibling to
00:10:22
entertain me I was playing out front of my house alone my family home had a giant white birch tree in the front yard
00:10:28
surrounded by grass in a small garden oh that sounds lovely it's gorgeous gorgeous um the yard was enclosed in a
00:10:36
giant cast iron gate thank God more on that soon it had Ivy stretching up around it and it smelled of fresh herbs
00:10:43
in the summer evenings that's gorgeous and beautiful and lovely setting a scene de it says my mother was just in or
00:10:51
sorry it why can't I do this you know I don't know sometimes it's hard you became a different thing today so a lot
00:11:00
yeah this isn't Salad Finger first this is Salad Fingers first rodeo it is so give him give him a minute yeah give him
00:11:06
a minute all right this says my mother was just inside caring for my sister when this story occurred I was sitting
00:11:11
in the grass playing with one of those cheap balls you see at the grocery store and those giant bins that you either
00:11:17
wanted to climb into as a kid or throw balls over the top of you know what I'm talking about absolutely I do I still
00:11:22
love those I always just picture somebody taking a ball from like the inside or the inside like bottom and
00:11:27
then everything just like plummeting down yep I love it uh it was common for people to walk by my house there was a
00:11:34
small Cafe up the road on the corner and many people from our neighborhood frequented it my house also backed up to
00:11:40
two separate cemeteries and I spent a lot of time getting to know each person buried in them but that's a story for
00:11:46
another time Devon that's a story for right now Deon yeah Devon that's always a story for right now come on I love
00:11:52
that story I love that I wasn't in the front yard long when I noticed a strange woman accompanied by a blonde girl a bit
00:11:58
older than myself s walked by with a small child in a stroller I was immediately intrigued another child in
00:12:03
the neighborhood I didn't know it then but I W uh I didn't know them but I was desperate to have somebody else to play
00:12:10
with the woman sees my interest and stops in front of the gate to my house this startles me as I was taught
00:12:16
stranger danger like everybody else however the woman seemed okay and she had kids with her how bad could she be I
00:12:22
was taught that if I was ever lost to find a policeman or another mom with kids so this mom couldn't be bad I won't
00:12:29
Ed over to the gate oh no the woman asked me my name and asked if I lived there I said yes and looked to the other
00:12:35
kids the older girl did not look at me one time this immediately threw up alarm bells in my head even as a kid so much
00:12:42
so that I remember this encounter to this day something so nervous yeah something was wrong and even my small
00:12:50
child brain knew it the woman then asked if I wanted to go play with my ball with
00:12:55
her daughters no she reached through the fence and touched my arm a full grip on
00:13:01
my wrist I uh it was then that I knew something was wrong for real the Panic said in my brain yelled at me to step
00:13:08
back but I was frozen there parents always tell you about stranger danger but how often as a kid do you actually
00:13:15
experience it I don't like this at all she's upset the plum Bob I don't like this at all he said no no no I'm mad
00:13:23
maybe sensing my concern the woman asked if I wanted to set up a play date and asked if my parents were around she
00:13:29
quickly looked over to me and around toward the house it was then thankfully that my mom rushed outside and yelled at
00:13:35
me to get away from the fence yeah get the [ __ ] away from her yeah get away from that cuckoo lady I backed away
00:13:40
releasing myself from the woman's grip and ran to my mom without even another word the woman and the girls quickly
00:13:45
walked down the street pushing the stroller out of sight and I don't remember ever seeing them again but the
00:13:52
story is not over I was going to say did I if I was that Mom I think I would have
00:13:56
like linebacker style tackled that woman what are your intentions what are you doing here let's just say I got a very
00:14:04
stern lecture from my mom about not talking to strangers that day and never played out front of that house
00:14:08
unsupervised ever again no flash to 2009 now I'm in high school and I live across
00:14:13
town from where I grew up I see that on the news a little girl kidnapped in 1991
00:14:18
was held captive but found on the outskirts of California the outskirts of that town I can't say yes that's right
00:14:26

00:14:35
18 years isn't that [ __ ] Bonkers I didn't see that coming no I did not read these ahead of time I did not see these
00:14:46
coming yeah what the [ __ ] yep the woman I met that day uh Nancy gero I think it
00:14:53
is what the f the kids I met Jai and her firstborn daughter not her sister I have I'm without words without
00:15:04
words I'm without words can you imagine no and to know one to know that you like
00:15:11
happened to have an experience where you like met her and then two to realize that Nancy was trying to kidnap your ass

00:15:36
hell my entire childhood only a few thousand feet from where I played and slept and lived every single
00:15:46
day wow my mom and I immediately looked up the address of where Jai was found and saw that she was hidden only eight
00:15:53
houses away from us on the corner the grief I felt was that uh the grief I felt that day was insurmountable knowing
00:16:00
I saw her and I met her and her kidnapper as a child and never even knew it I can only guess now what might have

Vermont uh spoiler alert no cats were harmed in the making of This listener tale thank you we hired a cat sitter to
00:20:24
come visit SL feed them once a day we were supposed to come back home on a Friday but made a fateful last minute
00:20:29
decision to stay an extra day and come home on Saturday instead at the time I regretted this decision but now I'm
00:20:36
grateful for what we did as it was the last time I saw my mom before she passed away unexpectedly from an undiagnosed
00:20:42
heart condition I'm sorry I'm sorry Molly that sucks I know we returned home on Saturday night and my boyfriend
00:20:49
commented that he thought the door was already unlocked when he stuck the key in that's the scariest thing I say well
00:20:54
you go check the apartment I have to go somewhere it's been real bye we brushed this off because the lock was kind of
00:21:00
janky and he was probably mistaken we drop our suitcases and I give my kitty some reunion snuggles my boyfriend comes
00:21:07
rushing out of the bedroom and asks me if I'd moved a small box out of his desk drawer I had not and this is where the
00:21:13
red flags started going up we searched the apartment some more and noticed that a passport checkbook and other items
00:21:19
were missing as well that's really scary to think that somebody has your passord
00:21:24
like that's be terrifying the small box that my boyfriend was panicking over contained The Diamond for my future
00:21:30
engagement ring I know oh he had not given it to me yet and this is how I learned that he was going to propose oh
00:21:37
Imagine Learning like that that's so sad I know I plugged our cheap security camera into my laptop and started
00:21:43
reviewing the footage video only there was no audio my heart dropped when I got to the footage from Friday night/
00:21:50
Saturday morning around 2 a.m. I can see Ari and Binks excitedly trotting up to the door as it began to open thinking
00:21:56
that Mom and Dad were finally home no I see their ears go back and their tails drop as they realize it's not us
00:22:03
and they turn around and Sprint to find a hiding place I see two unfamiliar [ __ ] men sorry I added that uh just
00:22:10
men come through the door unfortunately I can't see their faces because the camera was pointed to the floor it was
00:22:17
positioned that way because we bought it to keep an eye on the cats never expecting that it would capture a
00:22:22
robbery I break out into tears and call my mom while my boyfriend calls the police two young women police officers
00:22:28
show show up shortly after and I'm grateful to them to this day for how comforting and kind they were as they
00:22:33
took our statements and dusted for fingerprints side note they used a black powder to dust for fingerprints and
00:22:39
Binks was very interested in what they were doing he stepped in a pile of powder and left little black Footprints
00:22:44

00:24:12
can clearly see the cats that are leaving on Friday shutting the door and not locking the dead bolts fired she was
00:24:19
suspected to be involved at first but eventually determined to be simply incompetent and cleared by police
00:24:24
sometimes that's even worse yeah that really is Innocent but incompetent oof oof I obsessed over and I obsessed over
00:24:31
and messed with the footage enough to discover that there was in fact audio who [ __ ] you are everything you're a
00:24:39
detective you hell yeah it was staticky and hard to hear and I listened over and
00:24:43
over again with headphones to try to make out any clues finally I saw one of the men walk over to the camera and can
00:24:49
make out the following Hey Kevin there's a camera here idiots not only did they drop names directly in front of the
00:24:57
camera but they also left it there instead of taking it it's like why would you do that I mean I'm glad they did but
00:25:03
like why would be a special kind of dumb you sure do the footage was on a Micro SD card so if they' taken the camera we
00:25:09
would have had nothing to go off of they unplugged the camera at that time so we're not sure how long they were there
00:25:14
or what else they did chilling very chilling My Hope Is that they realized they [ __ ] up and noped out of there
00:25:20
immediately I forwarded the audio to the detective assigned to our case and this
00:25:24
is what finally allowed them to catch him turns out the cops had been following Kevin for several months
00:25:29
connect connected to multiple other robberies of homes schools businesses Etc they knew he was guilty but until
00:25:36
now they didn't have the hard evidence to convict him hell yeah a warrant was put out and Kevin was arrested for
00:25:41
multiple felony robberies soon after they searched his phone and found a conversation between him and some other
00:25:47
Shady character trying to pawn my diamonds can you imagine it was never found we expect that he ditched it along
00:25:53
with the other stolen items once he realized the police were on to him [ __ ] that guy fortunately my boyfriend is a
00:25:59
genius and bought insurance for the diamond so we got a replacement for free seriously we were both yeah we were
00:26:06
both called the testify in court and despite being totally hyped about getting on the stand they did not
00:26:12
question me only my boyfriend stupid total bummer he doesn't even like True Crime there was also no city-wide parade
00:26:18
or official commendations for me to single-handedly solving the case which I feel I deserved you did I also feel you
00:26:24
deserve should we have one retroactively I think we should let's do it anyway Kevin isn't jail now and though my sense
00:26:29
of security in my home is forever damaged we're doing okay we moved into a new house pack back in my Pennsylvania
00:26:35
Hometown to be closer to my family after my mom passed I spent too far too much money on a home security system love you

00:28:30
this of laughter of laughter of laughter without any more gushing here's my tale of the
00:28:36
time a demonic man parked his way into my apartment I'm obsessed with this already back in my early 20s I left home
00:28:43
because I wanted to change I met a guy when I went on a trip to Canada and we hit it off I decided not to go back home
00:28:49
much to the shock of my family job and Friends [ __ ] you only live once right YOLO here I am in Montreal on my own for
00:28:55
the first time ever we got a uh a place in a big apartment condo you know the type multiple floors multiple apartments
00:29:02
on each floor your typical Seinfeld situation where you have to be buzzed into the building and all that jazz my
00:29:08
apartment was on the first level but there was an entire Garden level below those are air quotes I like to that air
00:29:15
quotes with the Salad Finger you're welcome uh every apartment on the first level all the way up to the top level
00:29:22
which uh was I think eight had these mini balconies off the living room on this day after staying up way too late
00:29:29
playing video games I decided to call it a night around 1:00 a.m. ah the before children days I head to my bedroom and
00:29:35
get ready for bed not more than a few seconds after I lay down I hear this loud yelling coming from the alleyway
00:29:41
between my building and the ones next to mine picture this Alleyway like a sideways t-shape Looking Out My Window
00:29:48
there were two buildings and an alley between them leading directly to my unit the yelling was so disturbing it was no
00:29:55
spoken language I had ever heard of it was seriously demonic the voice was deep raspy but had this sharp edge to it the
00:30:03
type that would make you want to cover your ears the words made absolutely no sense at all now me being the nosy ass
00:30:09
[ __ ] I am I immediately jump out of bed and go peep out the curtains to see what
00:30:13
the actual [ __ ] is going on hell yeah I would have done the same thing oh I'm if
00:30:17
I hear a commotion out the curtains I peek oh yeah I'm going to go vacuum the grass literally like I got to know
00:30:22
what's going on I love those Tik Tok videos when people will start doing that like sweeping the grass I love it well
00:30:28
there's a man running down the alley toward my building uhoh he's waving his arms all over but that is as much as I
00:30:34
would I could make out it was extremely dark and there's minimal Lighting in that area as he's making his way toward
00:30:40
the building a car turns in the alley behind him it had Sirens so clearly it was the police chasing said man the
00:30:46
entire time he shrieking this ungodly noise heading straight toward what seemed like me oh mhm now at ground
00:30:55
level there's a small retaining wall it's literally like 3 ft tall and he jumps on it and leaps up to grab the
00:31:02
bottom of my balcony no yes no yes did you [ __ ] your pants Eli I would have cuz I would [ __ ]
00:31:09
my pants Eli says which by the way is a solid 15 to 20 feet up and I don't know if he TR was truly possessed or not but
00:31:16
I [ __ ] you not he hoisted himself up like he was an Olympic pole jumper without a pole what the [ __ ] he just had
00:31:22
like a 20 foot vertical like what's going on some Street parkour American Ninja Warrior get that man a contract
00:31:29
somewhere like what the hell I ran right to my night table where I happened to have stashed an 8 in blade in the drawer
00:31:35
oh casual things that's Eli right there and pull it out yeah I pull it out just pull it right out just in case I know I
00:31:42
said I would mention this but I'm from this wonderful little gem of a city called Brockton oh have you guys ever
00:31:48
seen the menu go watch the menu go watch the menu now I know you two gorgeous ladies most likely know about this
00:31:54
special little [ __ ] hole but the rest of the world probably doesn't feel free to
00:31:58
insert whatever oh now that was amazing I basically grew up in an area where you sleep with one eye
00:32:07
open in nicer terms yeah it's called the city of Champions but that's far from what it is Champion to any other Brock
00:32:15
tonians don't come for me you know it's true so knife welding me run you know ick if you know Brockton you know you
00:32:22
know ubic oh so knife wielding me runs into my living room as my balcony screen door opens and
00:32:33
the inner door is being rammed on by this demon [ __ ] yes this [ __ ] is still chanting damn I know you're
00:32:39
probably thinking hide don't run toward J toward danger but I don't know I just had this urge to Stand My Ground I'm not
00:32:45
going to be sometimes you get that urge you know sometimes you just like I feel like standing my ground today yeah just
00:32:50
I'm going to Stand My Ground right now sometimes it happens and Eli says I'm not going to be caught unprepared that's
00:32:55
right the locks give out and the door crashes in word no the demon rushes in he stops to look around and Survey the
00:33:02
situation we lock eyes imagine if imagine if you were like this I looked at him what if you were just like like
00:33:11
what if you just broke it and you were just like hey do you like Rusty Spoons honestly best home security system ever
00:33:24

00:33:32
and just say I like Rusty Spoons what are you do they're going to get the [ __ ]
00:33:37
out of there like they're going to get the [ __ ] if you sit up and say it's almost

00:34:07
Eli knows his screaming had come to a halt and it was so [ __ ] weirdly quiet he looked at the front door looked at me
00:34:15
the front door me and finally vaults over my coffee table to the front door fumbles with the lock gets it open and
00:34:22
runs into the building hallway then resume he said [ __ ] that he said [ __ ] that but then resumes his demonic murder
00:34:27
screaming again yeah he took a little pause yeah surveyed the situation and I was like I'll continue out
00:34:33
here they were words but not it's seriously hard to explain but terrifying oh I wish you had audio a why didn't you
00:34:40
get audio come on youi audio didn't happen this entire thing was only like 6 seconds tops but in the moment it felt
00:34:48
like forever now this would be the perfect time for me to shut my door lock it and crumble into a sob but n girl I
00:34:55
ran out into the hallway after him like who's for my broken door ladies ladies I don't know why I
00:35:02
felt like Zena Warrior Princess some Amazonian badass [ __ ] when the reality was a 21-year-old Puerto Rican 53 thick
00:35:12
and out of shape I'm obsessed with you seees I love you Eli Eli for life you just wait the end of this tale I was
00:35:18
crying I was crying at this point but then I started sobbing at the next part the demon runs straight into the
00:35:25
officers that yoke him up one officer runs to me he looked me up and down and at my knife which I immediately place on
00:35:32
the ground and held my hands up like I was the criminal or something he ushers me into my apartment to make sure I'm
00:35:38
okay and to get me out of the hallway as some neighbors had begun opening their doors to see what was happening hey did
00:35:45
