Hello. Hello. And welcome to My Favorite Murder. Oh, yeah. The mini-sode. The mini-sode.
00:01:59
That's Georgia Hardstark. That's Karen Kilgarra. And we're recording on video right now, so it's going to be self-conscious, choppy, and less entertaining than normal, but people love video.
00:02:11
That's right. It's going to be awkward, and you can watch all that on the fan cult.
00:02:16
In the fan cult. Give him some angles, Georgia. Angles. Here you go. Your hair looks good.
00:02:23
Oh, thank you. I got a cut and dyed yesterday. It looks like fresh. Yeah, it's fresh.
00:02:29
It has some layers. Then I had to try to do a little styling. Then I had to undo the styling.
00:02:36
Yep. And now I have a bunch of makeup. And this is for the people that are just listening.
00:02:42
A bunch of makeup and hairstyled in the same black shirt I've been wearing for three years.
00:02:49
I'd call it a Steve Jobs kind of approach to podcasting. It's minus the turtleneck part.
00:02:55
But basically, I did my hair and then realized I'm just putting my giant headphones on anyway.
00:03:00
So it doesn't matter. So that was a waste of time. But your bangs look great. They shiny, swoopy, repping.
00:03:07
Should we do this? This is where we read you your hometown stories that you've sent us them and we appreciate it.
00:03:15
Should we start over? No. This is the question. This is the question lately. Should we start over?
00:03:22
I mean, yes, but will we start over? No. Do you want to go first? Sure. Okay. Hometown, a literal axe murderer.
00:03:31
Hi, friends. I will answer your desperate plea for more hometowns with this tale from my aunt and our aunt.
00:03:38
It's her run in with an actual axe murderer back in the 70s. This takes place in Kings Park West in Springfield, Virginia, which is also a location mentioned in your Bunnyman episode.
00:03:49
I thought this may have been the Bunnyman, actually, but it took place a different year.
00:03:53
My aunt and her boyfriend were parked in a dark construction site making out one night.
00:03:58
Oh, the 70s. The field they were in had some half constructed houses, lumber laying everywhere, etc.
00:04:05
Their car was facing the woods as they were making out when they heard a sound. My aunt heard it more so than her boyfriend did.
00:04:12
But when the sound happened a second time, her boyfriend heard it enough that he turned the headlights on.
00:04:19
out of the yeah this is firm enough to be to sound like a real urban legend right now but it's her
00:04:27
aunt it's not like her her friend's aunt you know very true yes out of the woods walking directly
00:04:32
at their vehicle was a man holding all caps a fucking axe and he started all caps walking
00:04:41
on their car with it walking on their car with an axe holding it yeah like that's menacing
00:04:48
Nope. Sorry, I got the word wrong. Wailing on their car with it. Wait. Oh, so actually attacking the car.
00:04:56
Yeah. So that's not like, oh, there's some guy who's like the foreman and he like is trying to scare kids making out.
00:05:03
He's wailing on their fucking car with an axe. Puncturing metal to scare children who are just trying to have sex in their small town.
00:05:12
That's not a scare. That's menacing. Boyfriend struggled to get the key in the ignition to start the car because he was shaking so badly.
00:05:18
But when he finally did and punched it into reverse, the car backed into a huge log and got stuck.
00:05:26
No. My aunt says it was like something out of a horror movie. They had to rack the car back and forth to get it off the log, screaming hysterically the whole time while evading the axe-wielding psychopath.
00:05:39
And they were finally able to peel out. They reported to the cops immediately. My aunt swears there were two men, though it sounds like only one did the majority of the damage.
00:05:49
Quite some time went by before she heard anything from the police but she was called into the station one day months later to identify their attacker in a lineup Unfortunately the same man or men who attacked them with an axe later murdered a couple they encountered on a playground
00:06:06
That was what got them arrested. And the cops fingered the men as the same two who had tried to kill my aunt and her boyfriend.
00:06:13
So it's fucking a literal act. Sure. Truly murderers. That's insane. Yeah. It took my aunt a long time to cope with their near-death experience.
00:06:20
And she still sounds traumatized when she talks about it. But she remembers damn near every detail.
00:06:26
Of course she does. Yeah. Stay sexy and don't make out near the woods, Katie. So she has a living relative who lived through what all urban legends are based on, essentially.
00:06:40
And every 70s horror movie happened. Unbelievable. The thought of like, oh, here's a menacing man coming towards us.
00:06:48
What's he going to do? And like, it's always like, what are they going to do? when they actually start wailing on the car is the moment of this isn't just a prank.
00:06:57
Yeah, they're not just trying to be kind of scary and give some kids a fright. Right.
00:07:03
It's like, well, first of all, now you've been you've involved our insurance company
00:07:06
by actually puncturing my car. I keep thinking of like an axe going through metal.
00:07:12
Yeah, that's scary. That's very violent. Do they have car insurance in the 70s? They've had it since the 1620s.
00:07:20
What if one of my secret passions was insurance? Yeah. Okay. This is so good. It just starts, y'all.
00:07:31
Okay. There's nothing more interesting than talking about your childhood with your parents,
00:07:34
and one of them casually mentions an interesting or slightly negligent piece of information.
00:07:40
I mean, you're telling us? Yeah. We base this whole podcast on that. Chef's kiss.
00:07:47
But thank you for... It's good to restate the thesis. So thank you. As conversations usually go with your parents involving wine, one of them will slip up because you're an adult and you've already survived all their shit anyway.
00:08:02
So we're sitting on the deck after some random family dinner. And then this part is written like a play.
00:08:08
Dad to my mom. Hey, remember when we saw one of their babysitters on America's Most Wanted?
00:08:13
Mom. Oh, yeah, that was an unexpected plot twist. and then it just says in all caps, full fucking stop.
00:08:21
Once I picked my job off the ground, my dad went on to explain. When I was a baby and my brothers were toddlers,
00:08:27
when my parents went out, a woman who we'll call Mary used to babysit us. She took really good care of us, washed us diligently,
00:08:35
cooked dinner and tucked us in before my parents would return. This happened on Fridays for a couple of months.
00:08:42
One night, my parents were watching America's Most Wanted and a picture of Mary, all caps,
00:08:47
appeared on the screen. Oh, my God. I imagine my parents exchanging nervous glance.
00:08:52
Needless to say, we never saw Mary again. I'm actually not sure if she was ever caught
00:08:57
or what she did. The only thing I know is that according to my parents, quote, she probably took really good care of you
00:09:05
because your dad was a deputy sheriff and she needed the money. Casual shrug. Stay sexy and don't let wanted criminals
00:09:11
babysit your children for two months. Devin. No, what did she do? I have to know everything. And like, if she had already been
00:09:20
a criminal, and she was just casually at what was it state trooper? You know, yeah, deputy sheriff
00:09:26
law enforcement's house. That's ballsy. It is genius, like hiding in plain sight. Right,
00:09:32
right. Very smart of this so called Mary, I would say, though, that this would be a much more
00:09:40
kind of like excited story, excitable story. If Mary was some kind of a murderer, I think that would absolutely have been told.
00:09:49
So it seems to me. Right. Most wanted, maybe a bank robber. That's what I was going to say.
00:09:55
That's something like that. Yeah. Something checks. They did a lot of check laundering, money laundering back then.
00:10:02
On the most wanted list. When they were boring. Yeah. A lady from the local of Dega that keeps writing bad checks.
00:10:09
$10 checks. She's on top 25. She keeps writing $10 checks to get a roll of quarters so she can
00:10:14
do laundry. Yep. Okay. Hometown. Juicy details. In the early 2000s, I was putting myself through
00:10:20
college working at a fine dining restaurant in a small resort town in Maryland. One day,
00:10:26
our maitre d', and by the way, they put the little umlots and stuff all like wrote maitre d'
00:10:31
correctly. Our maitre d' Richard, picture early 50s. Umlots for that French word. I don't know.
00:10:39
I'm not French. Richard, picture early 50s, Silver Fox, impeccably put together, didn't show up for his shift.
00:10:47
This was completely out of character as he was always the first to arrive. Just before service started that evening, Richard's wife called the restaurant to see if he was at work.
00:10:55
She was concerned. He wasn't at home, but the iron was on and his apron was still in the dryer.
00:11:01
After her call, we were all concerned. Around 9 p.m. that night, Richard's wife called back to speak with the owner.
00:11:08
our entire service staff hung in the, quote, dungeon, the staff hangout room, anxiously
00:11:13
waiting information. The owner came downstairs and led with Richard won't be coming back to work.
00:11:20
Here's the scoop. His poor wife had come to learn from the police that Richard had been having an
00:11:26
affair. Earlier that afternoon, he had been at the other woman's house eating filet mignon and
00:11:31
drinking vodka. Then it says strangely specific details. After lunch, he picked up some item from
00:11:37
the table. Rumors abound. Steak knife, key, ice pick, and stabbed her in the mid back and then
00:11:44
left. She was able to call 911 and relay what had happened and who stabbed her. Richard returned home,
00:11:50
apparently intent on heading into work And then she wrote ew put his apron in the dryer and showered While he was getting ready the police arrived and placed him under arrest Richard wife arrived home to find Richard missing
00:12:05
Sidebar, on her way home, she passed the woman's ambulance, traveling with lights and sirens towards the hospital.
00:12:11
So she gets home, the iron's on, he's gone, because they fucking yanked him out of the shower, basically,
00:12:15
while everything was still on. The woman ultimately survived. Richard spent something like a year and a half in jail for the assault.
00:12:23
What's weirder? During Richard's trial, we learned that in his early adulthood, he'd been living in the
00:12:29
Cayman Islands. Then it says that might not be exactly right. Might have been the Bahamas.
00:12:34
One evening, you're on the right podcast. One evening, after a meal of filet mignon and vodka, he stabbed his dining companion
00:12:42
in the back as they left the restaurant. He served something like three years in a Cayman prison for that attack.
00:12:48
What the fuck? What kind of weirdo had we been working with? That's all. Stay sexy and don't drink vodka with your filet mignon, Sarah.
00:12:55
That was like his triggering meal beverage combination. What happened when he was a child eating filet mignon and vodka?
00:13:03
Like something. Oh, that was his like school lunch and something went wrong. Also.
00:13:09
Yeah. Was he waiting? Like, was it one of those things where he had this this secret life kind of and it was all in balance?
00:13:18
and then whatever she told him could have been, I'm going to leave you could have been, I'm going to have a baby
00:13:24
right? Like then he just there's a lot to be heard about this story. Truly. Also, it just
00:13:33
it really does seem like stabbing someone you should be in jail for more than one
00:13:37
year. Yeah. Anyway, I won't read you this subject line. It just says, what's up my people?
00:13:44
I recently took a trip to my hometown and while reminiscing with some friends, I was reminded of a story that I felt you needed to hear.
00:13:52
I went to an all girls Catholic high school in Louisville, Kentucky. We only had a handful of nuns teaching there, mostly just religion classes.
00:13:59
This is except for Sister Lorna. Sister Lorna taught two classes, chemistry and forensics science elective.
00:14:06
Because all nuns are blood spatter analysts, right? Although I didn't get to take the elective, she did drop a comment in my chemistry class
00:14:15
that I'll never forget. Quick note to know first, Sister Lorna is all business, no nonsense, and she does not joke around.
00:14:23
This is corroborated by my 70-year-old aunt, my 45-year-old cousin, oldish sister, and now younger second cousins who all had her as teachers.
00:14:33
Whoa. Yeah, right? She is clearly immortal. While learning about anthrax and apple seeds, she casually dropped this gem, quote,
00:14:44
Anthrax tastes real sweet. I had a friend kill her husband that way, put it in his ice cream.
00:14:50
Then she casually turned back around to the chalkboard and kept teaching, allowing zero room for any follow up.
00:14:58
Most people assume she was fucking with us, but I'm pretty sure lying is against the rules of being a nun.
00:15:03
Yeah. And and like I said before, no nonsense, no jokes. over 10 years later i'm still thinking about that friend her arsenic and if she got any help
00:15:13
covering it up from a forensics loving nun stay sexy and don't trust nuns mps she was also the
00:15:20
only teacher to ever catch me cheating on a quiz talk about catholic guilt oh wow nuns
00:15:29
forensics and nuns i wouldn't equate with each other but i i feel like i think she was just
00:15:35
trying to freak and freak students out and make them pay attention. That's a good I could see that.
00:15:41
I just feel like if you're a nun, how would you you can't lie? And you're not in the habit of you're not in the habit of fucking with people.
00:15:52
Yes, I five yourself on that one. I was going to say she can she's not allowed to lie to adults, but they're just teenagers.
00:15:59
That's true. All right. God doesn't mind a teenage lie. I mean, who knows? Who knows?
00:16:05
Hey everyone, it's Cal Penn. I'm the host of Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club.
00:16:14
This week on the podcast, I'm sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook Project Hail Mary,
00:16:23
massive sci-fi adventure about survival and science and what happens when you wake up alone very far from Earth.
00:16:30
I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections.
00:16:38
And it's like, OK, yo, yo, yo, is this indulgent? And I really thought about it.
00:16:41
I was like, no, at this point, it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it.
00:16:51
But there's places in this book that deeply emotionally affected me. And I left it on the mic.
00:16:57
That's great. Because it served the story. people will say like oh my god i cried at the end it's like yeah dude me too

Default terms at mintmobile.com. Okay, hometown stories. You asked. Hello, Karen in Georgia.
00:18:16
First time, short time. I'm a new listener, but not new to loving fucked up true crime stories.
00:18:21
My story happened in a town about 11 miles east of downtown LA. I worked in the town commuting from the South Bay.
00:18:30
And then it says, where were podcasts during that hellish commute? They were a couple of years away.
00:18:35
I would always stop for coffee at a Starbucks near work and then head into the office at about 9 a.m.
00:18:40
I got a spot right in front. Whoop! When I came out of the store, I noticed a young woman in the driver's side of a parked car next to me.
00:18:47
And she was upset and a man was standing over her between the inside of the driver's door and her seated.
00:18:54
So like blocking her from closing the door. It looked like a family dispute. As I got into my car, I put my coffee in the cup holder and I made eye contact with her.
00:19:03
She mouthed, help me. And I said, fuck and got out of the car and locked it. I said to him, I don't think she wants to buy her right now.
00:19:12
You should leave. sidebar I had just started dog training lessons and had learned some good body language slash
00:19:19
confidence building from it so she like learned used her dog training I love that I sort of from
00:19:27
a distance wait sorry what does that mean like she was standing yeah like authoritatively
00:19:32
because her dog won't sit unless she does it that way well yeah you have to have this like
00:19:37
confidence about like you're in charge not the dog oh okay oh so she was like I was in charge
00:19:43
at that dog training lesson and I'm going to bring that right into this potentially violent
00:19:47
situation. Bringing the dog training energy to the man yelling at situation. Yeah. I sort of,
00:19:55
from a distance, shooed him away. He said, okay, okay. He got into his car. I called 911.
00:20:02
Told them that the make and model and license plate, another woman came up to me in the law
00:20:06
and said she saw what I was doing. We went to the young lady who was in hysterics. I was
00:20:11
on full adrenaline. She said he had a gun and was trying to get her to move over so he could drive.
00:20:18
She had met him at church and he had texted her to see if she would pray with him.
00:20:24
My husband later told me to call 911 first, then chase him away. And then she wrote, who knew? The creep was soon arrested. Turns out he had a laundry list of
00:20:35
priors. He was 64 and had cut off his tracking parole anklet. A last hurrah before retiring to
00:20:42
prison. I went to the police station. Oh, and had a total meltdown at work 30 minutes later when the
00:20:48
adrenaline wore off. They handed me a photo lineup and I ID'd him. He was arrested that day.
00:20:54
Wow. Months later, I was a witness at the trial and got to see the young lady. She was in therapy
00:20:58
and going to college. He got convicted. A year later, the woman who helped and I were given the
00:21:04
Courageous Citizen Award and pin from the DA's office. Hey. So kind of a superhero.
00:21:09
No big whoop. Stay sassy, sexy and don't get murdered. Always be a badass bitch.
00:21:16
Jen. Jen, congratulations on your award and congratulations on calling an ankle monitor an anklet.
00:21:26
Truly a hero for our times. An accessorizing hero of our times. That is awesome.
00:21:33
though she a woman like literally said help me and she fucking sprung into action also that just
00:21:39
makes me think that i bet a lot of times like that if somebody is like whole like the person
00:21:45
holding the gun it's the whole don't make any noise right or you know basically just do what i
00:21:51
say and comply right and the idea that there was a person there that she could even look at to mouth
00:21:56
that too thank god like thank god serendipitous timing all that stuff it's crazy and and good for
00:22:03
it. Good for all of them. Good for everybody in that story. Uh-huh. Except for one person.
00:22:09
Yeah, except for one piece of shit. This one is truly a gem. The subject line is
00:22:17
Margs for minors. Greetings, pets and patrons of MFM. I was going to say patrons.
00:22:24
Because of margaritas? I guess so. Okay, you asked for embarrassing stories, and my family
00:22:31
retells this story 18 years later at every gathering. So here we go. These are what we want, everyone.
00:22:38
Yes, it's all there. I grew up in a very tight-knit suburban neighborhood full of young kids.
00:22:43
Every year for the 4th of July, my neighborhood would rotate houses to host a party with everyone's kids.
00:22:49
When my family's turn came around, my mother was over the moon excited, decorating the whole place and even going so far as to get enough alcoholic
00:22:56
and non-alcoholic margaritas for the whole neighborhood to share. And then in parentheses, it says, you know exactly where this is going.
00:23:04
Oh, no, I do. As guests started to arrive, my mother, confident in me being the angel child that I was,
00:23:11
sent me to grab the non-alcoholic margarita mix to start serving the kids. When my mom later went to the garage to grab the margarita mix for the adults,
00:23:20
a full hour later, she'd realized she'd made a horrible mistake. Can I say something?
00:23:27
Sorry, go ahead. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want to say, like, kids don't need non-alcoholic margaritas.
00:23:32
Just give them lemonade. It's like fake cigarettes, you know? Yes. Yes. Candy cigarettes.
00:23:36
It's an adult's idea of what would be good, which is like, no, this is like sour lemon
00:23:42
lime, not carbonated, gross. But you're also like. It's like a melted diet slurpee.
00:23:47
But you're also telling kids that, like, margaritas are the only way to have a good
00:23:50
time at a party. You know what I mean? Right. I feel like that person believed it.
00:23:55
I agree. Well, they don't disagree. What other options? I know it's. me a knot. It's like, Mackenzie, do you want salt around your rim? Come back over here. Okay.
00:24:07
So in a panic, the adults rushed outside to find the alcoholic margarita mix depleted

and the children of the neighborhood absolutely wasted. Oh my God. I distinctly remember one
00:24:19
mother being horrified and taking her in parentheses, mostly sober kids home in a huff,
00:24:24
being a strictly rule abiding child who couldn't even bear the thought of cheating on my homework.
00:24:30
I was absolutely beside myself over having ruined the holiday. Another mom, whose six-year-old had drank three margaritas and was found stumbling around drunk in the garden,
00:24:42
grabbed my face while crying laughing to tell me I had given her the best 4th of July of her life.
00:24:48
Fortunately, for the sake of my reputation, the following year, another neighbor accidentally shot off a firework into a crowd of bystanders,
00:24:55
And this quickly surpassed the margarita fiasco in the collective memory of our neighborhood.
00:25:00

00:25:32
drunk kids. Oh, shit. How fun. Like, not that it's good, but how funny would it have been?
00:25:36
Well, it's you know what it is. That mom, God bless her soul, understood this is the weirdest, craziest thing that could
00:25:43
possibly happen, especially in, you know, if it was 18 years ago, that was like the
00:25:48
dawning of the helicopter parenting. Right. Era. Right. And suburbia where it's like nothing goes wrong.
