Hyundai, an official partner of FIFA. Goodbye. When a charming neurosurgeon rode into Frontier Town
00:00:39
selling a persona of confidence and care, patients trusted him. He wore cowboy boots in the operating room
00:00:45
and became sought after by patients. He promised to heal them. Instead, he left a trail of broken bodies.
00:00:51

00:01:35
Hello and welcome to My Favorite Murder, the Minisode. The Minisode. That's Georgia Hartstar.
00:01:48
That's Karen Kilgariff. And these are Stephen Ray Morris laying all the way down flat in his area.
00:01:56
And these are your letters that you've sent us that we appreciate so much. I got so many good ones this week that I just love them.
00:02:04
I'll read some next week. They were so good. Everybody's good at it now. Everybody knows how to tell a story.
00:02:09
I mean, that's just kind of a natural thing. Most people know how to tell a story.
00:02:14
People are getting good at injecting their own personalities. Yeah. They can write a good email.
00:02:19
Maybe everyone's learning. Do you want to go first this week? Oh, my God. Get in there.
00:02:24
Let's do it. What a great idea. Okay. This just says, hello. Hello. Hello. I'm writing to you from my in-laws house in Southern
00:02:32
Oregon. Since I'm working remotely due to COVID, my husband and I decided to leave Los Angeles for
00:02:37
a while and hunker down up here. It's been so great to have a change of scenery in this beautiful
00:02:42
area. I fucking bet. Every time I come here to visit my husband's hometown near Ashland, Oregon,
00:02:48
we always talk about the unsolved murder that happened almost 10 years ago. At the time, my husband was attending college at Southern Oregon University, which is located in Ashland, home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
00:03:00
Yes, I went there when I was 12 and it changed my life. Oh, my God. Yeah, it was amazing.
00:03:07
It feels pretty magical in that town. Lots of trees, little squirrels, locals on bikes and cute shops to walk around.
00:03:13
so the story goes in november 2011 a young man named david grubbs was heading home from a shift
00:03:20
at a local grocery store just a few blocks away from the outdoor theater where the shakespeare
00:03:25
actors perform often in elaborate costumes and prop swords for fighting on stage as darkness
00:03:32
fell that night the 23 year old who was walking home on the bike path was brutally attacked when
00:03:38
Someone came up upon his body. They discovered his head was nearly chopped off. Upon official investigation, the autopsy revealed that David died of sharp force trauma from a finely honed blade longer than a typical knife.
00:03:52
The popular theory being that he was decapitated with a sword. Ashton police have worked on this case for years and still don't have the answer to who killed David.
00:04:01
The connection between the Shakespeare Festival and the possible use of a sword as the weapon is not confirmed, but certainly has painted a haunting legend around his murder.
00:04:11
It's so sad. I really can't imagine such a brutal act of violence happening to anyone I love.
00:04:15
In case this ends up being read, Crime Stoppers of Southern Oregon would love to hear tips anyone may have.
00:04:21
I have no. Yeah, right. That's good to know. Shakespeare Festival. I have no affiliation except that my heart breaks every time we drive through Ashland.
00:04:29
And I remember the story of David. I've read that police are still searching for any witnesses, details or knowledge that isn't that hasn't yet been reported.
00:04:37
Thanks for sharing the amazing stories of your listeners. I learn such interesting things each week, and I'm grateful for this consistent source of joy and curiosity.
00:04:45
Stay sexy and stay far away from swords. And there's no name. Now, can you just read again what year that crime took place so that if anybody does have a memory or something, they can call to Crimestoppers of Southern Oregon and give information?
00:04:58
Yes, it was 2011. And it sounds like the Shakespeare Festival must have been going on if that's what was happening.
00:05:05
Which means it's summertime. Yeah. Summertime 2011? Yeah. Or that's not for sure. I don't.
00:05:11
Right. But it was summer because we went there and didn't get out of school for it. I'm pretty sure.
00:05:15
And his name was David Grubbs, G-R-U-B-B-S, if you want to look it up. David Grubbs.
00:05:20
Yeah. Wow. So horrible. And it's so true that town is very quaint and everything about it is very delightful and almost whimsical.
00:05:32
So the idea that there was just a just a terribly violent murder is is horrible.
00:05:37
OK, this we're going to stay in Oregon for this. My first hometown here. Awesome.
00:05:43
Oregon. The well, I'm not going to read you the subject line. OK. It just says at the beginning, you know who you are.
00:05:52
I love it. Well done Love it And in the late 1970s early 1980s I lived and went to college in Portland Oregon with my BFF When we needed to cut loose we would frequent one if not more of the many taverns in our area The one that we enjoyed was the Faucet which is the fucking greatest name for a bar
00:06:13
What the fuck? How good is that? It had large TVs tuned to football, cheap beer, and a good looking bartender.
00:06:23
Amen. Right. During that time, I shamelessly flirted with every bartender at every establishment.
00:06:28
We frequented in the hopes of getting either a free drink or service before everyone else at the bar.
00:06:33
Oh, yeah. I never I have never flirted with a bartender. I've always been like they get the top notch people at the bar.
00:06:41
They don't want my fucking bullshit. You know, like a bartender doesn't want to date me.
00:06:45
It's like, well, I always just figure whatever's going on with them. personally, a bartender doesn't have the time to fuck around with me. Yeah. So if I can include a
00:06:55
witty rejoinder, is that the word? Is that a word? In the order, that's fine. Yes. But nothing extra
00:07:02
because they're just like, I need to make money from those people over there. Yeah. White staff
00:07:06
and bartenders don't want your number and they'll give you yours if they want to fucking talk to you.
00:07:11
They'll give you theirs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Don't hit on don't hit on white staff and bartenders,
00:07:17
please. If a waiter gives you your phone number, that's actually a proposal of marriage.
00:07:23
You're actually legally wed to them if they can guess your number and give it to you.
00:07:27
You have to marry them. Common law, California law. It's law. Okay. At the faucet,
00:07:34
at the faucet, the bartender was Randy. This is such an 80s picture. It's delightful.
00:07:42
full. Are there Randy's anymore? I don't think so. You know what I was thinking about? Are there
00:07:47
Robbie's anymore? Remember when the cool guy was always Robbie? The like skateboarder surfer guy was Robbie.
00:07:53
There's no more Robbie's. It might still be a family name but the McKenzie's are beating out the
00:07:59
Robbie's at least 10 to 1. These are not real. These are not real statistics, everybody. One night
00:08:07
okay. Ooh, now it turns. One night he asked me out and all caps For some reason, I said, I don't go out with people I don't know, meaning someone with no references in my life, other friends or school or coworkers, etc.
00:08:23
This was a complete lie. I was in my early 20s. It was the 80s. I went out with everyone.
00:08:31
I love when grownups write to us. Yes, they know and they did it. And there's no shame because everybody does it.
00:08:38
And they did it without cell phones and Google. So they did it. They fucking had to learn how to do it.
00:08:44
That was the other piece, too, is if you did go to a bar where you may have had a crush or been deeply in love with the bartender, separate from your alcoholism, you would have to make it happen in that environment.
00:08:57
There was no Facebook for him or you to stalk the other. If only we could go back to the time of no Facebook anyway.
00:09:05
I miss bars. OK. He kept pressing and I kept retreating. I do not know why. He was good looking.
00:09:10
he was as nice as could be but dot dot dot one night the phone rang yep one that had a cord and
00:09:17
was hanging on a wall and it was randy he again asked me out and i again declined when i asked
00:09:25
my roommate how he got our number she told me that she gave it to him because quote he seemed
00:09:29
nice and he really wanted to go out with me a few weeks later i was watching the news in time to hear
00:09:36
that the authorities had captured the i-5 killer and when they showed him on film next to his gold
00:09:42
vw i yelled isn't that randy from the faucet you guessed it it was none other than randy woodfield
00:09:47
the i-5 killer that's like a fucking heavy hitter that's a big one and he was he had been a
00:09:55
professional football player he was classic part hair parted down the middle 80s dude hot he was
00:10:04
dude this chick needs a fucking award I mean for real okay needless to say anytime thereafter
00:10:10
my roommate would ask me for a favor parentheses driving to the airport helping her move babysitting
00:10:15
I would remind her of the time she gave our phone number she gave our phone number to a serial killer
00:10:20
I joined the countless other people who have thanked you for your work you too Steven
00:10:25
during the pandemic I especially enjoy the first parts of the podcast where the two of you are just so excited
00:10:31
to be talking to each other It's so true that you were talking about anything and everything.
00:10:37
It's as if I'm sitting right there on that couch with you two and not quite so lonely in the pandemic.
00:10:43
Also, Karen, Love on the Spectrum and Cardinal are fantastic. And thanks so much for those recommendations.
00:10:47
Remember, as bad as this gets, you are not alone. Stay sexy and flirt with only certain bartenders.
00:10:55
Cindy. I feel like Cindy, our big sister, who's like, I lived it. Let me tell you what to do.
00:11:01
That's so crazy. Cindy is an 80s name also along with Randy and the rest and Robbie. Cindy is an 80s
00:11:09
oh my god. Cindy you nailed that. Thank you so much and holy shit like you must feel
00:11:15
like you have a superpower. You do. Yeah because you do because that instinct I mean I hope it has served you well in every
00:11:23
other way because that was unbelievable. That's I'm just in awe. Okay. Be like Cindy. Here's our new slogan.
00:11:31
Be like Cindy and go with your gut. And don't date bartenders. And be from the 80s.
00:11:38
Okay. Hometown story. Okay. It just starts. Okay, look. I was listening to last week's Minisode and you asked for trying to kill your sibling stories.
00:11:47
I shot coffee out of my nose and almost drove off the road. Finally, I have something to tell Karen in Georgia.
00:11:54
I am five years older than my sister And to say that I was furious when she was born is an understatement Having been an only child up until this point I was less than thrilled to have to share the spotlight Well she came out kicking and screaming and would not stop screaming for the first nine months of her life
00:12:10
And then in parentheses, it says colic. And then it says insert eye roll here. She made up the colic.
00:12:17
She was like, colic isn't real. Yeah. nine months of this was long enough to instill in me a need to rid the earth and our family of
00:12:25
this wretched child asap my first attempt was when she was maybe two years old i took her upstairs
00:12:31
and convinced her to eat a ton of children's grape tylenol that's like legit attempted murder
00:12:38
and then it says i'm too old i'm too old to have been deterred by childproof packaging oh my god
00:12:45
But needless to say, she got through about a quarter of the bottle before my dad walked in, rushed her to the bathroom, made her vomit and then called poison control and then says, oh, well, a few years later, being inspired by Shel Silverstein, I decided if I couldn't kill her, then I would rehome her.
00:13:01
I got out my little red wagon and made her sit in it and had and made a sign on a cardboard that read one sister for sale, 25 cents.
00:13:11
I sat in my lawn chair and waited. We lived in a quiet cul-de-sac with no real traffic, so I didn't have any takers.
00:13:17
Our grandmother lived across the street from us at the time. She called my mom and then came out of her house, paid me a quarter, and then took my sister with her.
00:13:26
At least I made a profit on that attempt. Oh, yeah. Finally, I figured if my parents got mad enough at her, they would get rid of her for me.
00:13:34
So after my mom's brand new expensive drapes got delivered and installed, uh-huh i snuck into the living room and cut a big hole in the corner of the drapes and fucking we
00:13:44
had to get drapes put in the house that shit is not fucking cheap it's ridiculous hell of expensive
00:13:50
it's a fucking scam okay yeah no they look beautiful okay then i then planted the scissors
00:13:56
in her bedroom and waited my mother was so livid i thought she would have a stroke i simply replied
00:14:02
beth did it and then proceeded to find the evidence in her room for the first time in my
00:14:07
life, my mom believed me and my sister was in trouble. Not a huge deal. And she was only four,
00:14:12
but it was a win in my book. I carried the secret with me for 35 years until I finally admitted at
00:14:18
a family dinner that it had been me that had cut those drapes all those years before and had never
00:14:23
been more thrilled than to have gotten away with it. Now I am an upstanding for the most part
00:14:30
citizen, mother of two boys, true crime addict, who has never felt the need to frame my sister or
00:14:36
anyone else again. But my stories are legendary in our family. And whenever a friend of my sister
00:14:40
meets me, they say, Oh, you're the one who tried to kill her. Yep. Needless to say, after all of
00:14:47
my countless torturing of my sister, my parents never felt the need to have more children. Yeah,
00:14:52
love you both so much. And you are the glue holding this epic shit show of a world together
00:14:56
for me. Stay sexy and don't try to sell your sister in front of your grandparents house.
00:15:01
Kate, Kate. Oh, shit. It makes me feel a little better about my sister. I don't think
00:15:06
she tried to kill me you know yeah you'd remember i bet or yeah you would have buried it deep
00:15:11
either way either way that's so hilarious i also love that she i mean each thing is more devious
00:15:19
than the last i think sell the sales one is the lightest yeah i think straight up trying to poison
00:15:24
hers poison really dark but then the like the real hitchcockian setup of the drapes unnerves me
00:15:32
deeply. Then the fact that she didn't go, oh, when we turn 21, I'm going to cop to it. She waited
00:15:38
fucking 35 years. I love it. I'd like to hear from Beth. Yes. Wait, is that her sister's name? Yes, Beth.
00:15:46
Let's hear Beth's side of this. Let's hear Beth's side of this, for sure. Because she's
00:15:51
like, oh, I was hospitalized long ago. I've been in a straight jacket this whole time.
00:15:56
It actually wasn't funny. Actually, there is no Beth. This was an only child. Oh my God!
00:16:02
okay again i don't want to redo the subject line even though it's good hey all new york in the 70s
00:16:09
was rough the son of sam was on a rampage vietnam was happening and honestly serial killers were
00:16:14
really coming to the forefront everywhere so shit was not okay people also got into the habit of
00:16:20
making phone calls to random numbers and breathing heavily into the receiver in order to get off
00:16:25
sexually. I mean, I don't want to yuck someone else's yum. Oh, my God. That is the most beautiful
00:16:35
saying I've ever heard. Don't yuck someone else's yum. I love that. Do you hate it?
00:16:43
No, I love it. I love it. But consent translates even through phone lines. Yes. That's really what it's all about.
00:16:52
at the end of the day. Okay. Anyways, my mom, her brother and her mom, Elaine, were living on
00:17:00
Staten Island. And my grandpa was serving in Vietnam as an army chaplain. So she was feeling
00:17:06
pretty vulnerable as she was all alone with two young kids in the same state that a lot of crazy
00:17:11
stuff was happening in. These calls were coming in on a near daily basis, and it was pretty upsetting
00:17:16
as well. Well, Elaine was fed up with these deviants. So she came up with an action plan.
00:17:21
It was so simple and effective. She would answer the phone and immediately blow a regulation coach's whistle as loudly as she could into the receiver.
00:17:32
That's genius. That's genius. And she would keep blowing the whistle until they hung up.
00:17:40
That is so genius. It's such a quick, easy solution. She would keep this whistle next to the phone so it always was on standby.
00:17:48
My mom said that she be playing outside with her brother and they would just randomly hear the whistle blow and they knew Elaine was causing some hearing damage to some immature individual ears and really killing some people vibes My grandma was such a strong woman and she went through so much in her lifetime She taught me the value of kindness and how to be a strong woman myself
00:18:08
She passed away in 2004 from cancer, and she has been missed so dearly. On my wedding day this past March, right before COVID hit, I was given her wedding ring to wear as my something old.
00:18:20
Oh, that got me. That got me good. and knowing that she was there with me made the day even more memorable.
00:18:26
It was even more meaningful as my grandpa, her husband, married my husband and I.
00:18:31
Oh, because he was the army chaplain. Yeah. Oh, he made it through Vietnam. Oh, thank God.
00:18:37
When he looked down at that ring, he tearfully expressed how proud she would be of us
00:18:41
and that he misses her every day. I hope this story gives you some hope that love does exist,
00:18:47
even in this crazy, unpredictable world. Love you all so much. Thank you for all you do.
00:18:52

00:22:41
And it's an Action Park story to boot. A treasure action park combo story? I can't get enough of these action park.
00:22:46
Oh, and the photo of the woman from last week's action park story where she hit her face at
00:22:52
the bottom of the pool and her dad took photos of it. Oh, yeah. Got the photo. So, Stephen, can we put that in the Instagram or Twitter of this week's episode?
00:23:01
Just remind me. Awesome. Oh, that's great. Yeah. It's fucking swollen. Okay. Treasure.
00:23:07
Hi. I thought I missed my window to send you my action park story, but it seems that that
00:23:11
window will never close for you, too. We broke that wall open. There's not even a window anymore.
00:23:17
That's right. So here goes. In the mid 80s, two of my older cousins spent their summers lifeguarding at the wave pool at Action Park, a.k.a. the grave pool.
00:23:26
And it's true. Three fucking people died in it. No. I still haven't watched the documentary.
00:23:32
I have to. Sorry. No, no, that's OK. But I mean, fuck. Jesus. Yeah. It's crazy. Wave pools terrify me.
00:23:39
And this one is this will make you. It's terrifying. OK. Yeah. It's horrible. The Christmas after their first summer at Action Park, their family of six kids and my aunt and uncle came to visit my family in New Hampshire for Christmas. At our house, there were three of us kids plus my mom and grandmother. So when we were all together, it was pretty chaotic and festive. It was not tradition for us.
00:24:00
to give anyone gifts at Christmas, we left all the gifting to the adults. Smart.
00:24:04
But that Christmas, we all had mysterious packages under the tree that were signed from
00:24:09
our cousins, the lifeguards. Oh. When we opened the packages, they all had watches in them wrapped in tissue paper.
00:24:16
Any guesses where the watches came from? Oh, my God. It turns out that every night after the guests left Action Park and they turned the waves
00:24:24
off, all 12 of the lifeguards who were on duty, and then it said, that's right, 12.
00:24:29
which tells you how fucking dangerous it was. Yeah. Would race down to the bottom of the pool
00:24:33
where the giant sucking filters were and fish out all the treasure. They got wallets, loose cash, jewelry,
00:24:41
many, many wedding rings and watches upon watches. I don't remember the details of every watch
00:24:50
they gave out at Christmas that year but I know that my brother and I each got a Casio calculator watch.
00:24:55
Oh shit. The bomb in my eighth grade algebra class. And my grandmother got a brown swatch, which she wore well into the 2000s.
00:25:04
We love the hell out of those watches. I don't think I need to tell you that the idea of a pool that is capable of knocking watches off of people's wrists is not cool.
00:25:13
I have never and will never go in a fucking wave pool. And then it's SSDGIAGP. Stay sexy and don't go in a gravity pool.
00:25:25
GP? Goddamn pool. Yeah. Libby from Northampton, Massachusetts. Wow, Libby. So cool.
00:25:35
That is like Christmas shopping at the bottom of a wave pool. That is like the scariest, worst story with this icing, this delicious cream cheese icing of free watches and cash.
00:25:47
And wedding rings. So good. Everything about that fucking theme park, if you haven't seen, is it called Action Park or Class Action Park?
00:25:56
I think it's called Action Park. Let me look. And you know, what's his name's in it? That comedian?
00:26:01
Chris Gethard? Chris Gethard is so funny in it. Yeah, it's Class Action Park. Class Action Park.
00:26:06
Okay, great. On HBO He says this thing at the end of it where it like you know as adults we all when we drinking beers with our friends we all laugh about it But we also all cry about it at our therapist office
00:26:18
Yeah, it's the neglect is real. It's the height of it was the 80s, right? The early mid 80s.
00:26:28
Everybody cared about like it was like now we're into Wall Street and you kids can go fuck yourselves.
00:26:35
Yeah, no one cared. No. You weren't precious yet. We weren't precious. No, we weren't.
00:26:42
We weren't precious in the eyes of God or our parents. Okay. I'm going to end with a psychic aunt story.
00:26:48
Fun. Hey, KNG. Growing up, my dad told me lots of stories about my great aunt May.
00:26:54
I also had a great aunt May. She was a San Francisco native, but she had a weird accent that many San Francisco natives have that makes them sound like they're from New York.
00:27:05
huh so she she was big into making she's big into crafts and she would make a lot of pies
00:27:10
and she told my dad one time and he does it every time because my dad loves making apple pie
00:27:15
and my aunt may told him the secret you stick your finger in the middle apparently that's event the center of the pie yeah so that thing in the middle has a place to
00:27:27
escape and it doesn't get soggy oh i love it yeah yeah ma okay but we're back to this aunt may okay
00:27:34
She was well known for her sense of humor, her outrageous fashion sense, parentheses.
00:27:38
We're talking multiple layers of diamond necklaces and rings. Hell yes. Close parentheses.
00:27:44
And the fact that she had a knack for predicting the future. In her childhood, she had been a well witcher.
00:27:50
That's someone who holds a branch or some shit and can tell you where to dig for water.
00:27:55
She made her fortune repeatedly winning at horse races. she won so much in fact that not her nor her four husbands and then again in parentheses
00:28:05
auntie may seem to always pick well-off men that died young oh okay well she knew the future yeah
00:28:12
um close parentheses never had to work to support the family on top of all that whenever she was
00:28:18
bored she would read tea leaves for her friends and neighbors in exchange for cash or juicy gossip about the people she hated Yes As my father tells it all these psychic charades came to a stop when she was in her mid thirties and
00:28:32
her best friend, Anna came over for a tea leaf reading. Auntie May picked up Anna's cup to read it and abruptly stopped,
00:28:38
insisting that she wasn't feeling well and sending Anna home without telling her what the leaves had said.
00:28:43
The second her best friend was out the door, she called my grandmother and told her,
00:28:47
and I quote, Jean, there was nothing but death in that goddamn cup. As it turns out, on her way home from Aunt May's house, Anna got into a terrible car accident and less than 20 minutes after leaving, she died.
00:29:01
Aunt May had a lot of regret about not telling Anna her fortune and even more for sending her out of the house to her death.
00:29:08
After that day, she quit reading tea leaves, although she still went to the racetrack every every week to, quote, keep up the lifestyle that she was accustomed to.
00:29:16
You got to have hobbies in your in your older age. A freaky fact. Great Auntie May lived until the day I was born, May 13th, 1994, and passed away within 20 minutes of my birth. My family likes to joke that some of her psychic spirit lives on in me. I don't know about that because I have yet to win a fucking thing in my life. But this sentiment is very nice to think about. SSD jam, but also just tell me what the fucking tea leaves say, Lisa.
00:29:43
Oh, I was hoping her name would be May. It's funny that she was born in May and then May died in May.
00:29:50
Yeah. Wow. That's right. That's crazy. Isn't that good? I love the I think there's lots more stories like this of people who are psychic and they just don't tell other people.
00:30:00
They don't want to be bothered and they don't want to be burdened with that information, but they have it.
00:30:06
And then I feel like everyone's waiting for you to be wrong, too. They're like people want to prove you wrong once you once you say that you're psychic, you know.
00:30:13
Right. Yes, for sure. Right. Good batch. That was a good batch. I know. That was a good chunk of stories for everybody.
00:30:21

I refused to ride it until I was like a teenager. It's terrible. Oh my God. Yeah. Are they one of
00:30:59
the people that stood up on space, space mountain? I think the bar just wasn't down all the way and
00:31:03
they fucking flew out. It's pitch black in there. It's terrifying. It's horrible.
00:31:07
So you feel like you're going faster than you are. It's terrifying. I just burst into tears as I said that.
