00:02:30
freshen it up let's do it this says hello everyone oh hello i'll try to make this as brief as i can
00:02:36
i was listening to your minisode number 186 when you read a story about a new jersey man
00:02:40
named anton leblanc who was hanged after murdering a family a doctor did experiments on his body and
00:02:47
made keepsakes out of his skin i thought this story sounded really familiar remember that one
00:02:52
from a couple weeks ago. It was horrible. Yes. I live in Rollins, Wyoming, a small town on Interstate 80
00:02:58
in the middle of the high desert. George Parrott was known as Big Nose George, also known as Big Nose George,
00:03:06
was a cattle rustler and a highwayman living in Wyoming. In 1878, he and his gang were planning
00:03:12
to rob a train outside of Rollins. Local law enforcement caught wind of the plan
00:03:16
and attempted to stop the robbery, but two law enforcement officials were killed in the ambush.
00:03:22
Big Nose George and his gang fled to Miles City, Montana, and were bragging about killing the officers in a local bar.
00:03:29
Big Nose George was arrested and returned to Rollins for trial. He was sentenced to hang on April 2nd, 1881, but attempted to escape from his jail cell by filing down the shackles with a rock and hitting the jailer over the head, fracturing his skull.
00:03:42
Shit. Luckily, the jailer's wife was quick thinking and grabbed a pistol and forced George back into his cell.
00:03:49
Shit, girl. I know. News of the attempted escape began to spread and a group of townspeople broke into the jail,
00:03:55
held the jailer at gunpoint. And then it says this poor guy had the worst day. First he had to hit the fucking head and then held up by townspeople.
00:04:02
He's like, I'm doing my job. And broke George out of the jail so they could hang him themselves.
00:04:07
He was lynched in the street on a telegraph pole with a mob of 200 people. This is the part that sounds a lot like the New Jersey story.
00:04:16
After his death, Dr. John Eugene Osborne took possession of George's remains and attempted to do experiments on his brain for clues to his criminality.
00:04:27
The doctor was also assisted by 15 year old Lillian Heath to commemorate the experience.
00:04:35
The doctor had George's skin from his thighs and chest sent to a tannery in Denver and made into a medical bag and a pair of shoes.
00:04:43
Then it says, what the fuck? Which is your face is saying as well. It's so insane and recent.
00:04:51
It is. Was this a common practice in the 1800s? Question mark, question mark. Lillian decided to keep the skull cap and used it as an ashtray and doorstop throughout her life.
00:05:02
George's body was later stored in a whiskey barrel and buried near a medical office.
00:05:07
The medical office. Dr. Osborne wore the skin shoes to the inaugural ball after being elected the first Democratic governor of the state of Wyoming.
00:05:16
The story of Big Nose George was kind of forgotten until construction workers unearthed the barrel with human remains in 1950.
00:05:24
Dr. Lillian Heath, yep, that teenage girl became Wyoming's first female doctor. Then in her 80s was able to identify the remains when the skull cap she had kept all those years fit the remains perfectly.
00:05:37
Holy shit. This fucking story. The skin shoes are on permanent display at the Carbon County Museum in Rollins, Wyoming.
00:05:44
Wikipedia tells me that the shackles and skull cap are on display at the Union Pacific Museum
00:05:49
in Omaha, Nebraska, and the medical bag made of his skin has never been found. I hoping one day someone writes in about a mysterious bag found at a pawn shop or in their grandmother attic Thank you for all you do Stay sexy and always keep your skull ashtray in case you needed to identify a body
00:06:05
L. I think I don't think it sounds that recent to me. Like that's what the 1800s looked like to me is just people fucking experimenting on people, breaking people out of prison to kill them in a happy mob.
00:06:20
than experimenting on their brain and our body and then keeping a souvenir that's fucking morbid and creepy.
00:06:28
It's very like Wild West where it's like, you know what? We're all going to keep to ourselves and then do whatever fucked up thing
00:06:35
we've decided to rationalize. It's just so inhumane. We've all seen Back to the Future 3.
00:06:41
We know what it was like back then. George's favorite film. like the whole, the whole canon is my,
00:06:50
is all I know about history is from back to the future. We've all seen back to the future three.
00:06:55
I don't, I might, I might call you on that one. Okay. Okay. Here's my first one.
00:07:00
I'll, I'll read you half the title. Nurse mom stories. Great. Okay. So masked up MFM crew,
00:07:08
a few mini episodes ago, you asked for nurse mom stories. I meant to write in earlier,
00:07:12
but dot, dot, dot quarantine life with a five-year-old. Oh my God. Bless you and bless your soul.
00:07:20
My mom was a nurse when my sisters and I were growing up. She worked in both the ER and in labor and delivery throughout her career in Denver and in Orange County.
00:07:28
Though her accounts from her time spent as an RN range from crazy car baby deliveries due to massive Denver snowstorms to having to do an emergency C-section solo as an RN due to a doctor not answering his pager.
00:07:43
Dude. And then in parentheses, the 70s were a different time. A couple stand out like the time an ambulance pulled up with a non-responsive individual.
00:07:52
Her and the ER team worked 15 minutes to try and revive him with no success. After 15 minutes flatlined, the man sat straight up, pulled the tube out of his mouth, threw it on the floor and laid back down all while still flatlined.
00:08:07
To this day, the hairs on the back of my mom's neck stand up when she recounts that story.
00:08:12
What? But did he go on to live or was he still dead? I think he was still dead. He did a thing that only living people can do.
00:08:20
Or can they? That's why they need to keep experimenting on different lobbies. You're justifying the last letter with the next letter.
00:08:28
I'm justifying Back to the Future 3. That's right. I would love for it. Okay, but the thing about my mom's time as an RN that stands out most to my sisters and I
00:08:37
is how she worked in the ER alongside Jeffrey McDonald. No. The Jeffrey McDonald still in prison for murdering his whole family.
00:08:46
Not only did she work with him, they were friends. And here's how I found out that little detail.
00:08:51
One night when I was only 10 years old, I was somehow permitted to stay up late watching TV with my parents before bed.
00:08:57
That was a mistake. They were watching a made-for-TV movie called Fatal Vision, apparently about Jeffrey McDonald's murdering of his family.
00:09:04
I was too scared to move, let alone go to bed. After the movie, my dad looks at me and says, oh, and your mom's friends with him.
00:09:11
She says he didn't do it. Needless to say, I barely slept for years. And to this day, she says, quote, everyone loved him.
00:09:19
He didn't kill his family. Oh, no. Uh-huh. Cheers to all the nurses out there, many in my family included.
00:09:25
Be considerate and wear a mask. And don't let your 10-year-old stay up late watching movies about murderers, you know.
00:09:31
Lori. The scariest thing, I feel like in a kid's mind, it's like my parents know this murderer.
00:09:38
That means that they might be in on it and murderers, too. possibly although i believe that the jeffrey mcdonald story is the one that errol morris
00:09:48
went on to write a book and i think make a movie about um it's the one with the hippies right
00:09:53
i did i did that one yeah yes you did and and errol morris's whole thing is that the whole
00:09:59
case was botched and it is he is innocent i just i wish i couldn't i wish i wish i could believe
00:10:05
that because the way those poor children were killed is just horrific and the thought is so
00:10:10
awful. It's really awful, but I think there was... It's interesting. It's an interesting thing
00:10:16
because I'm still having to figure it out. I mean, I did that case years ago, and I still
00:10:21
know the details of it. It's just so horrible. Yeah. So it's bad. Yeah, it's very bad. Okay, this one's called
00:10:28
My Dad's Friend, the Serial Killer. Oh. I probably shouldn't have told you that.
00:10:33
We're in a theme now. Yeah. It's good you told us. We're ready. Greetings, fellow Jew
00:10:37
and Gentiles, too. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, mazel. Mazel tov. Well, talking to my dad on the phone one Sunday night,
00:10:47
he casually mentioned that he was once friends with a serial killer. Oh, it's in the first line.
00:10:51
It doesn't matter. Naturally, I said, tell me everything. In the early 80s, my dad was living
00:10:56
in a small apartment above a food co-op in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where he also volunteered
00:11:01
regularly. He became friends with a man named Alvin who stopped into the co-op from time to time while
00:11:06
my dad was volunteering. My dad also worked a second shift at a local hospital and Alvin sang
00:11:11
late nights at a restaurant in downtown Eau Claire. On his way home from the restaurant,
00:11:15
Alvin would check to see if the lights in my dad's apartment were on and would stop by to hang out,
00:11:20
I guess until my dad decided it was time to go to sleep. One day, Alvin told my dad that he was
00:11:24
leaving Eau Claire and moving to a rural town about 15 miles away. My dad thought this was a
00:11:30
little strange, but didn't think much of it. A short time after Alvin moved away, my dad learned
00:11:34
that he had been arrested for murder. It turns out that Alvin murdered four men in Wisconsin and Minnesota
00:11:40
between 1985 and 1988. One of the victims, a 33-year-old man from Minnesota named Daniel Lundgren,
00:11:47
was killed in what police believed to be a car accident in 1986. However when Alvin later admitted to killing the other victims he told police that he had also shot and killed Lundgren who was his roommate at the time Lundgren body was exhumed and the medical examiner confirmed that there were three bullet holes in his head
00:12:07
Police at the time said that Alvin likely shot Lundgren in the car and that Lundgren drove a short distance before crashing.
00:12:13
It's not clear how the three bullet holes were completely missed the first time around.
00:12:18
I guess if you get in a car accident, they're not going to like search your scalp for bullet holes, right?
00:12:23
Right, exactly. This is kind of reminding me of the beginning of Fargo, too. Oh, yeah.
00:12:28
It's that you'd have to really if you're assuming it's a car accident, it's car accident.
00:12:31
Totally. That's what everyone's doing, I bet. Yes. A hundred percent. Why look into it?
00:12:36
Don't look into it. Yeah, you've got better things to do. Alvin was arrested at the funeral of his last victim, 27 year old Timothy Hayden.
00:12:44
He was found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect in all four killings and
00:12:48
has been confined to a mental institution in Madison, Wisconsin ever since. We've been there.
00:12:54
Oh, yeah. We love Madison. It's very charming. I'll ask my question after. Okay.
00:12:58
Stay sexy and never trust a person who suddenly decides to move to a shack in the middle of nowhere.
00:13:04
Ariella. Ariella. Great job, Ariella. Yeah. Okay. Here's my question. Okay. How does he get off Reason of Insanity when he has the foresight to go and be at the funeral of a victim?
00:13:20
And to fake the death as a car accident. That's plenty. Yeah. planning. Which takes some forethought. What else don't we know?
00:13:27
I want to know. Yeah. This whole story. Yeah. Because obviously there's some bad stuff going on.
00:13:34
Wow. Yeah. And also just it's like that's like something from a movie where they're always like, oh, they come back and they go to the funeral.
00:13:42
So take pictures. Yeah. He actually did it. But I wonder why I didn't kill her dad because it sounds like he was like a young man living alone as like the other victims were
00:13:50
as well. Just got fucking lucky. He, yeah. It's crazy. Alright. Okay. The subject line of this is, scientist who worked
00:13:58
the Grim Sleeper case. And then, so the opening is this, parentheses, insert awkward
00:14:04
and anxious filled opening here. Perfect. You fucking nailed it. It's dead on. Welcome.
00:14:11
I'm about a month behind since there's only so much death and chaos a girl can take
00:14:16
during 2020. I mean, for real. Are you sure about that? Ask Let's pause and thank everyone for hanging in there with us while the world melts.
00:14:26
Thanks, guys. I just listened to episode 230 about the Grim Sleeper. Look, listen.
00:14:31
I am a scientist that specializes in DNA and serology as they relate to forensic science.
00:14:37
Hot for holes all day, every day. Yeah. In parentheses. Amazing. All day, every day.
00:14:44
As well as clinical diagnostics. I've also recently founded and built my own laboratory called Lander Labs because I saw a need in my community and decided to fill it.
00:14:53
Dude. A few years ago, I was working in another forensic laboratory when a new case came across my lab bench, a presumed homicide linked to the Grimm sleeper.
00:15:03
At this point, Lonnie Franklin Jr. had been arrested but had not yet begun trial.
00:15:08
I had very little information to go off of before I began my analysis. Usually a victim's name was written on the evidence packaging, but not this time.
00:15:15
All I was told was that she was a sex worker. There was nothing else to give this woman humanity.
00:15:21
No report came with the evidentiary item. The date written on the evidence package was from the mid 80s and the package had never been opened.
00:15:28
I was born in 1989 and baffled by the fact that I was working on a homicide that was forgotten about before I was even born.
00:15:37
This woman who deserved a name had to wait until I grew up, went to college, became certified and randomly picked a box in an evidence room before her case was even opened.
00:15:48
I'll never forget it. The item was a pair of blood spattered purple jeans. It was my job to figure out where her killer would have left his DNA on this item of evidence.
00:15:58
I had to think like he did. I used an alternate light source to see if there were any bodily fluids on the jeans.
00:16:03
Nothing. so I assumed I would only find touch DNA, which doesn't stay valid for long.
00:16:09
But I tried my best. I swabbed the button and zipper. I swabbed the top of the jeans.
00:16:14
I swabbed the side belt loops. I swabbed the bottom cuffs. All these areas I chose because I figured those would be spots he grabbed
00:16:21
when he was trying to remove her clothing. Guess what? We were able to get a full DNA profile from those swabs.
00:16:28
The DNA was consistent with Lonnie Franklin Jr., a.k.a. the Grim Sleeper. in 2016 he was convicted of killing 10 women since i don't know her name i hope my lady in purple
00:16:38
was one of those victims but i don't know maybe she wasn't and is still among those stacks of
00:16:44
photos he had of unidentified victims either way i remember her i saw part of her most intimate
00:16:50
moment evidence of her death that based on the evidence packaging only one other person had
00:16:55
witnessed. Let's remember her together. From a raging stemmest, stay safe, stay sexy, don't get
00:17:02
murdered. Annie. Wow. Fucking A, Annie. Good job. Oh my God, I have chills. Well done. Wow. What a
00:17:11
beautiful thing to think that there are people working in forensic criminal justice that are
00:17:17
caring that much about the people and the cases that they're working on. The goal is that everybody
00:17:22
in law enforcement eventually gets the training and the vetting that is needed so that people like this are the people
00:17:33
that are working in law enforcement. Amen. That's the dream. That's amazing. Thank you, Annie. Thank you. Great job.
00:17:40
Great fucking work you're doing. We are proud to have you as a listener. Yeah. For real.
00:17:46
Now I know why you can't listen all the time. For real. Fair enough. Why is it always chaos when we link up?

Pets age zero to 10. My last one is that time I saved my friend from being abducted.
00:19:55
Hello, Elvis and co. This story begins about six years ago when I was 18 years old and my only hobby was being drunk at clubs.
00:20:03
Hey, I was out clubbing with some work friends, several espresso martinis in and heading to the dance floor.
00:20:10
espresso martinis is such a bummer vodka and coffee what is wrong with you coffee liqueur so you're just like
00:20:19
vomiting coffee couple beans down in the bottom just make yourself perfectly nauseous for later
00:20:26
it's like when you finally get home you can't fall asleep because you've got the spins
00:20:33
extra bad when we realized we had lost one of our group we'll call her Sarah After 15 minutes of searching, I finally found her back at the bar looking very lost and confused.
00:20:45
Sarah kept saying, you left me. Where did you go? Assuming she had just had too much to drink, we decided we should leave and make sure she gets home okay.
00:20:53
Once we got out to the front of the club, however, we turned around and she was gone again.
00:20:58
Taken aback, I went back in to find her and found her standing alone near the dance floor,
00:21:03
once again looking confused and saying, where did you go? at this point i realized something was wrong and that maybe her drink had been spiked
00:21:10
making sure to keep hold of her hand we walked back out towards the main strip where we could
00:21:14
get a taxi home whilst walking however i ran into some other mates at which point my dumb drunk self
00:21:20
let go of sarah to hug them and say hello after a brief chat my friend points further down the road
00:21:26
and says where's sarah going to my horror i turn around to see my friend being led down the road by
00:21:32
two men who would grab hold of her hands. Sarah was looking back at me, super confused, but seemed
00:21:38
unable to pull away from them. I ran after them, managing to catch up and snatch Sarah back from
00:21:44
their grasp. The two men turned around and began laughing and telling me they were simply joking
00:21:48
around. Now, at 18 years old, I was extremely shy and deeply afraid of confrontation. I still am.
00:21:54
But in that moment, and probably thanks to all the espresso martinis, I channeled an impressive
00:22:01
amount of fuck you energy and just let loose. I pushed one of them in the chest and began waving
00:22:07
my finger in their faces. The other hand now firmly grasping onto Sarah's hand and yelled,
00:22:13
fuck you, you fucking rapists. Yeah, at this point, they stopped laughing and swiftly turned
00:22:18
around to walk away. That's right. I continue to shout some more fuck yous and assholes as they
00:22:24
left and then finally went and hopped into a taxi to take Sarah home. The next day, Sarah couldn't
00:22:29
remember anything confirming my fear that her drink had been spiked yeah i was so relieved that
00:22:34
we had managed to get her home safely because who knows what could have happened ssdgm and never
00:22:39
underestimate the value of a fuck you energy emma from brisbane australia good job emma emma
00:22:46
that's how you keep track of your friends it's well and also it's a good idea to have a friend
00:22:52
if there's one person for some reason that isn't drinking or isn't going to get shit-faced yeah
00:22:57
Because there needs to be somebody with the big picture. Yes. That was heart. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack the whole time.
00:23:06
It's like drunk girls trying to help drunk girls. Please, please get someone that's in the mix there that would see that immediately.
00:23:14
Keeps an eye. Yeah. Easy for me to say, but yeah. Of course. It's so scary. Watch your drinks.
00:23:20
It's me, Coffee Martini. You start using that as your bar name. How about espresso, espresso martini, just saying the word espresso like an 18 year old would.
00:23:32
Expresso martini, please. Send us your story. What? So sorry. What were you going to say?
00:23:38
Send us your espresso martini stories? No, but I want them. Tell us the most disgusting martini you've ever had.
00:23:47
Yes. Well, I mean, yeah. Tell us your stories of how bad you got this bins and then barfed on an espresso martini.
00:23:53
Do you think an espresso martini has just the flavor of coffee beans in it and maybe a
00:24:00
visual bean or two? Or do you think it has espresso in it? I would guess it's espresso
00:24:04
liqueur, liqueur, liqueur. I used to be a mixologist. I should know this. Is this true?
00:24:11
Yeah. When you had your little twisty mustache? No, but you know, I had all those cooking channel
00:24:16
shows about making cocktails. You don't know. Yeah, but you don't know who I am. Have we met?
00:24:21
You didn't make them professionally behind a bar every night. No, I never worked in a bar.
00:24:25
I'm sorry I don't mean to take away the label of mixologist I know that you combined
00:24:33
something and chicken nuggets so I'm not taking anything away I wish you wouldn't
00:24:38
otherwise I'm going to sit you down and make you watch fucking Back to the Future
00:24:44
3 with me and I'm going to make you make me an espresso martini see how far we get
00:24:50
okay are you ready for this last one oh yeah let's do it It's the subject line is nursing home confessions.
00:24:57
Howdy. I am from a sleepy town in southern Indiana, and I work as a nursing assistant in a nursing home.
00:25:03
Thank you. That's God's work right there. Earlier this week, one of my residents confessed to me that she killed her husband in the 50s.
00:25:10
I will call her Glenda in this story. Wow. Yeah. It started when I came into her room with her favorite nightgown to get her ready for bed.
00:25:18
Glenda said absence makes the heart grow fonder, referring to the nightgown. You know how old ladies love sleepwear.
00:25:24
i'm an old lady then uh then she said you know who else is absent my husband i responded with
00:25:33
oh did he pass away a while ago assuming she was a widow like so many of my residents she said yes
00:25:39
he dead and i killed him and got away with it and then i picked my jaw up off the floor and got the rest of the story Glenda married her husband when she was 15 and he was yeah and she he was 30
00:25:52
Oh no. Uh-huh. Parentheses. Yeah. Not chill. Her husband was an abusive alcoholic police officer that started beating her immediately
00:26:00
after they got married. She stayed in the marriage because she had two little kids and it was the fifties.
00:26:05
So she couldn't really provide for them on her own. And she couldn't call the cops because he was a cop.
00:26:10
Then one day, her husband got suddenly sick with flu-like sickness. She stayed by his side as a dutiful wife, caring for him as he belittled her.
00:26:18
She said all of a sudden she realized how sick she was of him beating on her in front of her babies.
00:26:24
So when he fell asleep, she covered his face with a pillow and held on for dear life until he stopped moving.
00:26:30
In her own words, I just held it there as hard as I could until he stopped squirming and then held it there a little longer to be sure.
00:26:38
Oh, my God. I would just be like, Linda, I'm going to step out of the room for a second and then run up the middle of the street.
00:26:47
Why don't you put your nightgown on while I'm screaming? And then she turned to the nurse and there's a little bit of blood in the corner of her mouth.
00:26:55
I held her hand as she told the story and I asked her if she ever regretted what she did and she gave me the most heartbreaking response.
00:27:02
I feel bad sometimes, but then I remember how bad it hurt when he hit me and how much it scared my babies.
00:27:08
She said she called the cops in the morning and nervously waited while the coroner declared that he probably died from quote a heart attack or something.
00:27:16
No one ever suspected foul play from tiny little Glenda because apparently murdering husbands was something else.
00:27:22
They didn't think women could do in the fifties. I asked Glenda if she ever told anyone about this and she thought for a second and said Nope I think you the first one I could see the pain in her eyes as she told the story And it clear to me that she knew this was the only way to keep herself and her baby safe from such an awful man I don know why I inspired her to come clean My best guess is
00:27:42
that she this has been weighing on her for a long time. And since she's now in her late 80s,
00:27:47
she had to get it off her chest. I let her know that her secret was safe with me other than to
00:27:52
email my murder friends where I would change her name. Glenda then became successful. Her kids
00:27:58
became successful also and became successful. Today, Glenda frequently asked me for kisses
00:28:03
and loves when I paint her nails. Stay sexy. Don't get murdered. Wear a mask. And if you have loved
00:28:09
ones in a nursing home, don't forget about them because they still love you. Also, be kind and
00:28:14
patient with health care workers, because although our country is acting like this pandemic is over,

00:28:30
Yeah. And entrusting us with that story. Incredible story of bravery. How many times has this happened?
00:28:36
It's how many times has this been like this secret, you know, unspoken thing. I was thinking that there was a possibility that when they came, when the corner came,
00:28:45
they knew what a prick he was. Yeah. They were just like, yeah, part attack. See you later.
00:28:49
Wow. You know that's happened before. Definitely. Oh my god, that's heavy. Right? Well, I'm glad
