This episode of My Favorite Murder features stories about setting up a sister with a murderer, a trash kid story, and a heroic cat named Moses.

The first story involves a woman who tries to set her sister up with a man she meets at the airport, only to discover later that he is a convicted murderer. The man had served 25 years for killing his wife, which he claimed was self-defense. After realizing the truth, the sister blocks him and escapes the situation.

Another story recalls a humorous incident from 1994 where a child is almost separated from his grandfather in a mall, leading to a misunderstanding with two concerned women. The story highlights the protective instincts of the women who intervened.

A heroic cat named Moses saves his family from a fire by alerting them to danger, earning him the title of family hero. His antics and bravery are fondly remembered by his owner.

Lastly, a listener shares a story about her dog Peanut, who bites a neighbor after he taunts her. Later, it is revealed that the neighbor was arrested for child molestation, showcasing the dog's protective instincts.

TLDR

A sister is set up with a murderer, a heroic cat saves a family, and a dog bites a neighbor who later gets arrested.

where we read you your stories. You're gonna love it. Watch and listen now as Georgia does it.
00:02:55
I'll go first. Yes. This is called I Set. I'm not gonna read you this. Nope. It's about a sister.
00:03:00
Okay. Hi. Hi. So I'm still feeling guilty about this, but my sister didn't die. Few. However, someone did. This is quite a start to an email. Yeah. Okay. So I'm at an airport in
00:03:14
Tucson, Arizona, my hometown, but this isn't my hometown murder. This older man approaches me
00:03:20
while I'm waiting to board. He asked me about my TSA pre-board status. I don't know how he saw that,
00:03:25
but I'm thinking, do you live under a rock? So we converse. I inform him that I have this elite
00:03:31
boarding status because I haven't brought a bomb onto the airplane or murdered anyone.
00:03:35
I tell him he can get one for just $80. This will be funny later. I ask him where he's traveling to
00:03:41
Santa Barbara. Ooh, fancy, I respond. I asked what he does for a living. Mind you, I'm married and not
00:03:46
interested, but my sister is single, a former sex worker with no prospects, and is looking for
00:03:52
someone to take care of her. So I'm trying to help. Yes, get in there. And he tells me he's a
00:03:57
lawyer. He proceeds to inform me that he went to school with King Charles and that Ralph Nader was
00:04:02
his mentor. I ask him how many cases he's won, and he says, I've never lost a case. I'm thinking
00:04:08
this might be a good catch for my sister. I get his number, text my sister for permission to share,
00:04:13
and they eventually meet via text. I love this. This is so me. I try to fucking set every person
00:04:19
up, even though I'm not good at it. Is anybody good at it? No, it's not good. Okay. He tells her
00:04:26
he was married, but he's a widower, has two children that he's so proud of, but he doesn't
00:04:30
have much of a relationship, but doesn't elaborate on this. They do the texting and talking for about
00:04:35
a month until they finally agree to meet. My sister lives in La Jolla. He takes the train
00:04:41
down from Santa Barbara and it's on. She meets him at the station. He wants a kiss and she
00:04:46
reciprocates but feels a very negative vibe. Yeah, immediate kiss is creepy. Yeah. They go on to have
00:04:53
a meal together that he doesn't pay for and it says, really? Yeah. And they end the evening with
00:04:58
him going to his hotel room and my sister going back to her apartment. The next day they enjoy
00:05:03
La Jolla together and do La Jolla things. It says sea lions and shopping, I'm assuming,
00:05:08
and are starting to really enjoy the relationship they're forming. But the evening ends with each
00:05:14
in their own beds, much to his chagrin. This happens to be his birthday weekend,
00:05:18
and she had arranged cake and champagne and small gifts for the next day. So they celebrate,
00:05:24
but he has something he needs to tell her. Apparently, he just got out of prison a year
00:05:30
prior after serving 25 years for, all caps, murdering his wife. Oh, no. They were going through a divorce, and he was moving out of their house when he killed
00:05:41
her. He claimed she fell on the knives he was carrying out. No, no, no, no, no. They were all of the knives up position, question mark, and that it was also self-defense because
00:05:51
she tried to kill him, question mark. Their seven son heard his mother pleading for her life and his father responding You should have thought about that before you decided to divorce me Oh my God He the son testified to that and that what got his father put away for 25 years to life
00:06:09
He didn't get out until he served the entire 25 years, so he apparently was not a model inmate.
00:06:16
The fucked up part is that my sister was still willing to believe it was self-defense until I dug up this article and made her read it.
00:06:23
So she did and realized she had fallen for a murderous narcissist as desperate women sometimes do.
00:06:29
She eventually drove him back to the train station pretending that all was well.
00:06:33
And when he boarded the train, she immediately blocked all his contact info. I hope we can eventually laugh about this, but we're not there yet.
00:06:42
SSDGM cheers from the IE, Tanya. She set her, the subject line is I set my sister up with a murderer.
00:06:50
Yeah. Yeah. And also that, God, it's so hard. I mean, I was going to say these days, but I think it just
00:06:56
always is hard where it's like, you go through some shit in life, you finally meet somebody and
00:07:01
you're like, Oh, I think I'd kind of given up on this. Now I'm meeting this person. Wait,
00:07:05
we're kind of clicking. Wait, it's like, the vibe is wrong. But wait, just give him another chance.
00:07:09
Like, yeah, it's like, by the time she's like, Hey, wait a second. Her sister's like,
00:07:14
Hey, hold on. This is a mistake. She's like, No, I got to fight for the man I love. It's like,
00:07:18
No, dude. Yeah, maybe. This connection's hard to find. Oh, my God. It's just. You're also never allowed to set anyone up ever again if that happens.
00:07:28
What women have to consider. Truly. Truly. Has a man ever considered that on a date before?
00:07:35
Okay. Maybe we'll change it up a little bit with this email. Please. This subject line reads, and I quote, don't read the subject line.
00:07:43
It'll give it away. And then in parentheses, it says trash kid story. All right.
00:07:48
So it just starts. The year 1994. We open on the interior of the Merritt Square Mall on the eastern coast of Florida.
00:07:57
The smells from Barney's Coffee, Sparrow, and China Walk mingle in the air. Oh, my God.
00:08:03
The Mall in 94. Powerful. Powerful. Take me back in Florida, of all places. Yeah, where the smells are going to hang in that air because the air is dense and thick.
00:08:13
Through a sea of acid-washed denim-wearing teenagers, we see a Puerto Rican man in his mid-60s leading an adorable and clearly precocious child through the crowd by the hand.
00:08:25
A normal scene by all accounts until the duo walks past a store selling bespoke wooden toys of all kinds.
00:08:32
The child tugs away from the man, trying to enter this clearly magical store and bathe in the majesty of overpriced rocking horses.
00:08:40
But the man begins walking faster and pulls the child along, entering Burdines. Have you heard of that?
00:08:47
I think it's a department store? Yeah, sounds like it. Burdines? B-U-R-D-I-N-E-S?
00:08:52
The child begins to cry and scream, begging for his mother and to go home, drawing the attention of two old biddies who clearly sit next to each other under hair dryers on a weekly basis.
00:09:03
And then in parentheses it says love them. Yes. they follow the man and the child eventually catching up to them and demanding that the man
00:09:10
allow them to take the child back inside and find his mother or they will call the police
00:09:15
oh no no no no this is my grandson we're late to pick up my wife from her hair appointment so i
00:09:21
wouldn't let him go into the toy store that's all in quotes the man pulls out a brown wallet and a
00:09:27
cascade of family photos descends towards the ground remember those oh my god like the accordion
00:09:32
photo holder? Photos in your wallet. Yes. One picture clearly shows the man with a beautiful older woman and a much younger woman holding
00:09:40
the child clearly his mother. Okay. The women apologize profusely and begin cooing over how cute the child is.
00:09:47
Just look at those eyes and those chubby cheeks. He's exactly the kind of kid they snatch.
00:09:52
And then it says in parentheses, actual quote. The women turn and leave and the man gets the child safely secured in the backseat of
00:10:01
the white Ford Taurus before driving away. And that's the story of how I almost got my grandfather
00:10:07
arrested. Stay sexy and maybe just let the kid ride the rocking horse for two minutes so you
00:10:14
don't almost end up in prison. JK, he, him. Oh my God. I want my mommy. I want to go home.
00:10:21
I want to go home. You're not my daddy. And it's like, yeah, because I'm the grandpa.
00:10:25
Yes. You're not my daddy. I mean, good for those biddies, right? Like that's a hard thing. You don't
00:10:29
you don't mind your business in the situation like that. In 1994, oh gee, murderinos.
00:10:35
Oh gee. They were like, no, you will not be going anywhere with children. Yeah. What I like to think of is those women followed cases like Adam Walsh where
00:10:44
they're like, actually happened. No one's getting taken out of a mall today. No crying child on our watch.
00:10:50
Oh my God. They're like a little tiny superheroes with shampoo sets. Oh my God. I love them.
00:10:56
That's someone's grandma who listens. I bet. I know. JK, Hey, you're a hero for sending that in.
00:11:00
Basically, you're the trash kid you just told us about. Hello, beautiful. I'm Amy Erick, founder of Madison Reed, a hair color company I named after my daughter.

00:12:12
i convinced my little brother that my mom was a murderer hello to two of my favorite people and
00:12:19
everyone on your team who helps make MFM happen. I was a trash kid. Overall, I was pretty good,
00:12:25
but I loved to lie. I was also an only child until I was seven and the first grandchild.
00:12:32
And I spent all day every day at my grandma's house when my mom was at work. So I was spoiled
00:12:37
and not thrilled when my mom eventually had my two little brothers. I fucking bet you got to have
00:12:42
them earlier. They're going to resent them. You know, you're just messing with a child's sense
00:12:47
of reality where it's like, oh, guess what? You're now the older, I would assume, sister.
00:12:51
Yeah. Less important now. They're either great at it or terrible at it. Right. And you're not like, grandma doesn't only give you that look. Now she gives it to
00:13:00
these two losers who just got here. Like, what? They just fucking showed up late at the party. Why are they getting the fucking best piece of
00:13:08
cake? Okay. To preface the story, all of us have names that start with A. Both of my brothers were
00:13:14
picky eaters and dinner was a battle every day. One day, my mom was particularly frustrated that
00:13:18
they would not eat their dinner. When she left the room, I looked at the older of my brothers,
00:13:23
the youngest was a toddler at the time, and told him, you might want to eat that. Andrew used to
00:13:27
be a picky eater too. He looked at me and says, who's Andrew? To which I reply, he was our brother
00:13:33
until he wouldn't eat his dinner one day and mom snapped and killed him. Of course, he didn't
00:13:41
believe me. So there was some back and forth over the next few minutes about the details,
00:13:45
how old he was, why are there no pictures of him? Why do we never talk about him?
00:13:50
All of which I was able to explain away while looking back and forth and whispering,
00:13:54
because obviously I wouldn't want my mom to hear me revealing her deepest, darkest secret.
00:13:59
When my mom came back into the kitchen, my brother immediately asked her who Andrew was.
00:14:04
Keep in mind, she was already irritated with us and was not in the mood to be asked stupid
00:14:08
questions like, did you have a son named Andrew who you murdered because he wouldn't eat his dinner?
00:14:13
She exasperatedly said, what the fuck are you talking about? And I replied, it's time to come
00:14:19
clean, mom. I told him everything. Cut to me now arguing with my mom about whether she killed her
00:14:25
made up son or not. This exchange eventually ended with her giving up and saying, yeah,
00:14:30
I guess I did. Now, please just eat your dinner. I considered it a win. now that we are adults and i have a son of my own i understand why she was quote crazy
00:14:40
and i fully expect karmic retribution to this day my mom gets mad my brother and i look at each
00:14:46
other with horrified expressions and say andrew which only infuriates her more stay sexy and eat your vegetables ashley
00:14:56
i i'm cracking up i think it's hilarious because that's so something my fucking brother would have
00:15:02
done. Yes. But both my siblings would have done to me for sure. Well, first of all, I love that
00:15:06
Ashley admits she loved lying, which I think is a very human thing, but not many people can admit
00:15:12
it. But it is like there is a thing to that where it's just like, watch what I'm going to conjure
00:15:16
up out of nowhere. Look at the chaos I can make just by thinking of something and saying it out
00:15:22
loud. Yes. And then convincing a child of it. Hilarious. And then the mom playing it, mom being
00:15:28
so exhausted. She's like, yes. Okay. If that gets you to eat your fucking dinner, yes.
00:15:32
Fine. Just eat your chicken pot pie, you fool. Good God. Okay. The subject line of this email
00:15:40
is my mom's old timey shootout story. And then it just starts. Okay. So this is a crazy one.
00:15:46
I don't know if you have asked for this. Shootout stories. Does it matter? I mean,
00:15:51
it does not at this point, but I know you need it in your knowledge base. I couldn't make this
00:15:55
hillbilly shit up if I tried. This is my mom's story. She lived in Gary, Indiana until she was
00:16:01
12 when her dad purchased a large farm about an hour south to bring his family of 13 kids.
00:16:08
Whoa. And then it says, yes, 13 in all caps. Flash forward a few years to 1973. It went down
00:16:14
at my uncle Mike's wedding reception on the farm. After the ceremony, when the bride and groom have
00:16:19
already left, but the party kept going, these random relatives of the bride started causing
00:16:24
trouble. They were taking booze, beer, etc., basically trying to hijack the whole damn party.
00:16:30
My grandmother let them know that they were welcome to party at the farm, but they couldn't
00:16:34
take the party home. And they called her a bitch. And then it dot dot dot. Oh, no, no, no.
00:16:42
In lowercase. Oh, no, no, no. My uncles and grandfather basically told these assholes to
00:16:48
fuck right off and kick them out. You can do that sort of thing when you have seven sons as backup.
00:16:52
Yeah. They left, but they weren't done. Oh, no. We're getting into it. Later, someone called the house with a warning.
00:17:01
And then it says, quotes, there are people parking vans at the grain elevator down the road, and they're all getting out with weapons headed for your house.
00:17:09
Oh, shit. End quote. These assholes had parked away from the house so they wouldn't be seen, then started walking up to the property.
00:17:18
They actually started, all caps, shooting at the house. What the fuck? My family called the cops while my uncles caught a few of them and kicked their asses.
00:17:28
The police finally arrived and took them all away. But of course, in the small town world of good old boys, the cops just took them into town and told them to go home.
00:17:38
So, of course, all caps, they came back. Oh, my God. Later that same day, they returned with more guns and started driving through the yard, shooting at the house and tossing Molotov cocktails.
00:17:51
What the fuck? These are your in-laws. This is your new family There like people in there children It a wedding What are you It a wedding celebration What level of alcoholism is this Moonshine You know it moonshine It a fucking hootin
00:18:07
nanny. One dumbass even accidentally shot his own truck in the process. The state police finally
00:18:13
showed up the next day. My grandpa was so furious he told them, if those motherfuckers show up again,
00:18:19
I'm getting my backhoe and they'll all disappear. It's a lore. Yeah. The cop was like, sir, you can't
00:18:27
do that. But grandpa was a badass steel worker who had zero fucks left to give. Then people started
00:18:33
calling to warn my family that those psychos were planning to come back and burn the house down
00:18:37
while everyone was sleeping. So about 32 hours, this is epic. About 32 hours after the initial
00:18:44
incident, my mom and family had eight people at the house, all armed and waiting. This reminds me
00:18:50
of the second season of Fargo. Totally. Isn't it? Totally Fargo. Jean Smart is running that mafia
00:18:56
family. Yes. My mom gathered all the little kids and hid them in the staircase, the most internal
00:19:02
place in the house, I guess, like under the staircase. A settler maybe, yeah. She figured
00:19:07
someone would have to shoot through multiple walls to get to them there. Yep, my sweet mom
00:19:12
in an actual fucking shootout. And in parentheses, it says, side note, could nobody get rid of the kids in 32 hours?
00:19:20
I mean, I know childcare is rough, but damn. And then it says, thankfully the attackers never showed up again.
00:19:27
Stay sexy and just skip the 1970s farmhouse wedding reception. Love you ladies and the whole MFM crew, JCB.
00:19:35
Couldn't the bride just put a word out to her family? Like, yo. Hi, can I talk to my mother-in-law for a second?
00:19:42
Can calm our heads prevail here? This seems a little wild. Oh, my God. Isn't that nuts?
00:19:48

Data accurate as of 220-26. Okay, my last one is a Hero trash cat. Nice. Maybe I only picked it because the cat's name is Moses.
00:21:31
which is my cat's name. Oh, yeah. My Mo. But no, it's a good one. Hi, love. I would like to tell you about my wonderful trash cat who became our family's hero, Moses.
00:21:43
I grew up with Moses the cat as my little brother. And when I say he was my brother, he really did cause mayhem like he was a younger sibling.
00:21:51
And that's my Mo. He's the fuck. And then he does this. He started out as an indoor cat, but Moses had other plans.
00:21:58
Mo does this all the time. He would regularly run full speed at the fly screen door and launch onto them, clinging with every last fiber of his being, and then proceed to scream.
00:22:10
Yes. Motherfucking does that. Because he wants out so bad? Yeah. So my mom gave in and let him become free.
00:22:16
Once he gained his freedom, he was prone to stealing the neighbor's underwear from their washing lines, making his way up the most fragile trees, which he could not get down from, and screaming for us to help him,
00:22:26
and bringing live whip snakes to our front door. FYI, whip snakes are known to be extremely dangerous to children,
00:22:34
and our family had three of those. He really was a menace. But one night, he gained hero title.
00:22:42
This is a story from my mom's perspective. As she slept soundly, she suddenly woke up to Moses absolutely howling at 3 a.m.
00:22:50
She went out to see what the issue was and noticed a bright red glow coming from the lounge room.
00:22:55
As she looked out the window, she saw that the fence just a foot away from our house was completely on fire.
00:23:01
Moses was sitting inside, looking out for the window and loudly crying. She called the fire brigade and the fence was put out, but the firefighters said that if they had waited 10 more minutes, both our house and the neighbor's house would have been set ablaze.
00:23:14
Even worse, we had just taken out our batteries from our smoke detectors due to how often we burnt food.
00:23:21
Don't fucking do that. Just deal with the fucking get a fan. Get a fan. It is the great solution, though, where it's like I'm burning food all the time, but let's just not deal with that.
00:23:35
You know what the solution is? Not to learn how to cook and not get a fan. No. So, like, if he hadn't been their fire alarm, they wouldn't have had one.
00:23:44
Yeah. Period. Yeah. We'll never know how many lives Moses saved that night. But after that, we let him do whatever he wanted.
00:23:51
Yes. Whipsnakes for everyone. That's right. Moses sadly passed away last year, but it hasn't really sunk in that he's gone because he was outside so often.
00:24:00
So I like to think that he's still wandering around, catching snakes and stealing bras.
00:24:05
He is. He is. In our hearts. Yes. Oh, my God. Thank you for being incredible people.
00:24:11
16-year-old me thanks you for getting me through difficult school years. Oh, my God.
00:24:16
Love your work, Sophie from Australia. Oh, Australia. Australia. Thank you. And thanks, Moses.
00:24:25
Good boy. Very good boy. Oh, my God. Moses is a legend. Yeah. Globally. Globally.
00:24:30
A global legend, not a local hero. Okay, well, this perfect setup because I have a dog story,
00:24:37
a trash dog story, I believe. The subject line is always trust your dog's intuition.
00:24:42
It says, hello, friends, let's do this email thing. When I was about 21, I was visiting my
00:24:47
parents and brought my dog along with me. Peanut. I don't know why, but the name peanut for a dog
00:24:53
makes me laugh so hard every time. It's cute. Peanut was a crusty white dog who loved to eat
00:24:59
trash and pee in the house, but she loved me more than anything and I couldn't have asked for a
00:25:04
better friend. As I was leaving, my dad and a neighbor were hanging out in the garage. Peanut
00:25:09
was on her leash walking out with me, but immediately started growling at the neighbor.
00:25:13
Let's call him Kay. Kay was in his 40s and one of those guys who still acted like some sort of
00:25:18
D-bag college dude. Kay started taunting Peanut. He pretended to charge after me and grabbed my arm
00:25:25
and started to shake me. He was laughing and thought it was funny that Peanut was growling and barking at him until Peanut attacked his leg to protect me Hell yeah peanut got a couple good bites in before i pulled her away she had never bitten anyone before so i was shocked but let be real this
00:25:44
was k's fault for taunting a growling dog so i fucked politeness and didn't apologize good
00:25:50
i continued on my way picked up peanut and left my mom called me after i left saying that i should
00:25:56
come back and apologize to Kay. Kay's leg is covered in tattoos and peanuts bite cut through
00:26:02
his skin. And he is very upset about it because once healed, his quote tattoos would be ruined.
00:26:08
Okay. Dumbass. Nobody gives a shit. Please. It says, blah, blah, blah. I did not go back to
00:26:12
apologize. And I told my mom, maybe he should learn how to behave around animals. And then it
00:26:17
just says, well, well, well, fast forward a few months and Kay had been arrested for child
00:26:24
molestation. I don't know the whole story, but multiple 12 and 13 year old girls had come forward
00:26:30
saying that Kay had been sexually abusing them. I don't know who these girls are or how he knew
00:26:36
them, but he ended up going to jail. Holy shit. Peanut. When I found out, I made sure to give
00:26:42
Peanut extra treats and belly rubs, and I probably let her get into the trash for an extra three
00:26:47
seconds before taking it away. I lost peanut last year. She was 16 years old. She was my absolute
00:26:54
best friend from the moment she came into my life as a puppy when I was 13. And she never left my
00:27:00
side Stay sexy and let your dog bite the pedophiles leg tattoo Danielle That right Oh my God That amazing The dogs have better instinct than we do Like yes they do We just need to trust that and not apologize for that Right Well and also any normal person Yeah Like the idea that a dog growling at you

We learned how to love dogs from the dogs that loved us and waited for us to get home from school.
