My favorite murder Hello! Hello! Welcome to My Favorite Murder, the mini-sode. Are you ready?
00:01:47

00:02:09
Back when I was in college, I was home one night, and I turned on the news to see a story of a young college female who fought off an intruder with a sword as he assaulted her.
00:02:19
I normally don't watch the local news, and I remember thinking, wow, you go girl, and thinking that she was a total badass who, amidst fear, decided to fight back.
00:02:28
The next day, I went in nice and early to begin my shift as a host at a popular chain restaurant.
00:02:33
My friend, who hosted alongside me, came in a bit late and frazzled. I'm so tired, I complained to her as I began to recount my previous day.
00:02:41
I'm tired, too, she exhaled. Someone broke into my house last night. I ended up beating him up and chasing him off with my dad's sword.
00:02:47
Oh, my God. My mouth fell open. That was you? I saw your story on the news. So she began her harrowing story.
00:02:55
In the middle of the night, she'd woken up to pressure on her chest and the smell of cigarette smoke.
00:03:01
Move and I'll stab you, a voice said. In the darkness, she could make out the shape of a man holding her down with one hand and holding a syringe in his other.
00:03:11
He instructed her to remove her clothes as he removed his shirt and lowered his pants.
00:03:16
He began to assault her, and as she laid there, a million thoughts began to run through her mind.
00:03:21
Is this really happening? Do I die like this? But what reverberated through her head and stood out to her were two simple words.
00:03:29
Fuck no. She looked up and saw her father's sword hanging on the wall above her bed.
00:03:34
Her father, a trained martial artist, had given her one of his swords a year prior, and she had hung it up as decoration in her room.
00:03:42
In one quick decision, she kicked her attacker, jumped up, grabbed the sword, and began to beat him with it.
00:03:47
He reached out to grab the blade, and she drew the sword down, slicing open his hand as he gripped it.
00:03:53
He began to back out of her room as she continued to hit him. In the scuffle, she was stabbed by his needle on her hand.
00:04:00
She was able to beat him out of her house and down the street. She naked and he with his pants down at his ankles and bleeding from his hand before running back into her house to call 911.
00:04:11
Right? Within a few hours, the police were able to find the man and made an arrest.
00:04:16
Apparently, he had been stalking her home for a few days, looking into her windows and waited for when he seemed to know her roommates would be out of town.
00:04:24
He had snuck into her house earlier that day when no one was at home, went into their attic and waited for her to come home and fall asleep.
00:04:33
What a creep. Holy shit. Yeah. I couldn't believe that here she was telling me this story about why she was tired and what an amazing, strong, courageous person she was.
00:04:44
this five foot five college student and her dad's sword telling this guy to fuck it in fight or
00:04:51
flight she fought she did end up being tested for all the things from being pricked in her hand
00:04:56
negative to this day she still gets minor ptsd from smelling cigarette smoke and uh but she's
00:05:03
a badass and made a beautiful life for herself he went to jail and i'll never forget her courage in
00:05:08
the face of one of the scariest things a woman can face stay sexy hang your swords and always
00:05:13
check your attic, CJ. Oh my God. I'm like, I have chills. Unbelievable. What a badass. I love it so
00:05:21
much. It's so good. Swords. Swords. Also everything about like that attack is scary enough, but the
00:05:29
idea that someone's holding a syringe. Yeah. And you don't know what's in it. I mean, it can't be
00:05:35
good. No, it cannot. It's not vitamin B. That's crazy. And you're not Liza Minnelli.
00:05:42
That's crazy. Mimi? Okay, go away. This is the 1918 Spanish flu story. Hello, friends. This crazy
00:05:50
pandemic has reminded me of a story that is at once totally integral to my family history and at the same time is rarely brought up in conversation because it is rarely discussed I sure that I will get a few of the details wrong So please forgive me for that We do Forgiven
00:06:05
In 1918, the Spanish flu hit hard. At least 17 million people died worldwide. It was, of course, crazy and awful.
00:06:13
Naturally, our current crappy situation made me think about how a lot of things change,
00:06:17
but some things don't. Anyway, in 1918, my grandfather was an infant and his parents brought him to Mobile, Alabama
00:06:24
to visit friends and introduce them to the baby. While they were visiting, tragedy struck and the
00:06:29
people they were visiting, names unknown, and my great grandparents, names also unknown,
00:06:35
all died very suddenly from this awful flu. Oh my god. Before they died, they gave the baby,
00:06:41
my grandfather, to a neighbor to try to keep him safe. He did stay safe and he did not get sick.
00:06:47
Here's where it gets wild. The neighbor who took my grandfather in didn't know his name,
00:06:52
his parents' names, or where they were from, or even the neighbors, which is pretty damn weird
00:06:56
for Alabama. We usually all know each other. Since it was 1918, there were no social services,
00:07:02
there was no way to locate any family, etc. So my adopted great grandma, Mrs. Sheffield,
00:07:08
did what any amazing lady would do. She kept the kid. She named him Joseph Sheffield and raised him
00:07:14
as her own, along with her other kids. My grandfather had no idea about any of this until
00:07:19
he was 16 and needed his birth certificate, at which point my great grandmother had to fess up
00:07:24
and tell him the whole story. It's crazy to think about the twists and turns of fate. If his parents
00:07:30
hadn't come to visit their friends, if they hadn't had the foresight to give him to the neighbor,
00:07:35
my life would be totally different or more likely I wouldn't exist at all. My grandfather stayed in Mobile, Alabama, married and raised three sons and a daughter. I am the
00:07:44
daughter of his youngest son. To this day, we have no idea where my grandfather was from or what his
00:07:50
birth name was. My last name is Sheffield, as it should be. But whatever my grandfather's birth
00:07:55
name first and last was, it's lost to history. Thanks for everything you do. This podcast has
00:08:00
changed my life in more ways than you will ever know. If you choose to read this, please use my
00:08:04
name in honor of my great grandmother, a badass lady who is almost definitely the reason I'm here
00:08:09
today xoxo sarah sheffield oh nice isn't that touching yeah god go on fucking 23andme and
00:08:18
find those relatives but what a like what a crazy situation where it's like we all have this terrible
00:08:27
flu can you take the baby next door neighbor yeah not next of kin or family or or anything it's just
00:08:34
like whoever's closest. That's how bad it was. Probably. Yeah. It was probably this like split
00:08:39
second. I can tell I'm getting sick, like thinking it's going to be temporary. Just take the baby
00:08:45
while we're sick. Yeah. And then it wasn't temporary. No, it was not. No. Okay. All right.
00:08:56
This one has no subject line. It just starts. Obviously love you guys. Thank you for helping me
00:09:01
accept and begin to tackle my anxiety. That's all. There's no hello. Just straight
00:09:07
into like, look, we know this is a given and also this. Love it. Okay. My dad has the worst and most
00:09:13
hilarious luck. Ranging from that time, he went to get a bat out of my bedroom and
00:09:17
ended up accidentally letting another bat into the room. A bat. I thought you meant like a baseball
00:09:23
bat. Oh, and then a parenthesis that says, I grew up in the countryside in England.
00:09:30
God, that's fucking like, get the bat out now here comes a second bat so your dad is a vampire got it so your dad is a delicious
00:09:39
mango that bats love to eat i don't know what what do bats eat okay so basically she said from
00:09:46
that time about the bats to when the bomb squad was called because he was quote parked suspiciously
00:09:52
in a car park but the most amazing thing that ever happened to him was when he was arrested for
00:09:56
carjacking spoilers he didn't do it thank you spoilers plural he didn't do it let's get into it
00:10:04
so my dad used to run a weed control business uh which i had to read three times yeah weed control
00:10:10
that's weird a weed control business he's in the da no oh he's mcgruff the crime dog okay
00:10:18
Is that guy British? Is he a bat? Okay. He ran a weed control business, and he was sat in his van with the dog on his lunch break when a police car pulled up.
00:10:32
An officer gets out and tells my dad that there's been an attempt at carjacking in the next village over, and would my dad mind coming over for a lineup?
00:10:40
When my dad gets to the lineup, he looks to his left and right and suddenly has an uh-oh moment.
00:10:45
He was the only person in the drive-by lineup. The car owner drove by and said, yes, my dad was the guy that tried to steal their car.
00:10:53
The next six hours of my dad's life became a bit insane. He was bundled into the back of a police car.
00:10:58
Our sweet dog was put into the police kennels, and my dad was processed and put into holding.
00:11:04
Finally, they got around to interviewing him. The interaction went something like this.
00:11:09
Sir, you match the description of a carjacking and have been identified as the suspect.
00:11:13
The description is of an unshaven man, approximately five foot nine in his mid to late 30s, to which my dad replied, well, I'm six foot two in my mid 40s, but I'll give you one out of three.
00:11:26
Yeah, sassy dad. Right. After a bit more back and forth, the police officer begins to get annoyed and sternly says, sir, I need you to understand how much trouble you are in.
00:11:35
The suspect stopped the car with both hands and we have a full set of 10 fingerprints.
00:11:40
At this point, my dad begins to laugh uncontrollably. What, like this? My dad says as he holds up his hands, my dad only has nine fingers.
00:11:48
Oh, my God. He lost one years back in a work-related accident. The interview ended pretty swiftly after that and my dad was released with no charges Oh my God My dad is absolutely one of my best friends has always used his loss of a digit to his advantage mostly for good humor often quickly removing his hand from closing freezer doors in the supermarket to look at the person next to him and shout what have you done
00:12:16
Dad jokes. Dad jokes. What have you done? as he brandishes his four fingered hand.
00:12:22
But this is the only time his lack of a finger has proven his innocence. Thank you for bringing light into my long commute.
00:12:28
Stay sexy. And remember, sometimes nine fingers is all you need. No name. That was great.
00:12:35
That was excellent. Yeah. Love it. So good. Dad joke story. And also just thank God that it turned out that way.
00:12:43
Because how many stories do we know of there's no laughs. There's no missing finger simplicity.
00:12:50
there's no dog and then that person spends 40 years in jail there's no dog dog and saddest of
00:12:56
all and the saddest part there's no dog okay this is called like those dogs oh hello friends
00:13:04
georgie look up with your cone george oh george is poor is she okay mad yeah she's fine okay this
00:13:11
is called lock your gondab windows hi a while ago maybe a year who the fuck knows with the
00:13:17
self-isolation. For real. I know you guys read a story where someone broke into a house through a
00:13:22
second story window and it reminded me of a story I've been sitting on for years. One night after a
00:13:27
few glasses of wine my mom casually told me about this incident from when she was a teenager in the
00:13:32
70s when she was living in with her mom in Oklahoma. My mom's room was on the second floor
00:13:37
and had a window at the same level as her neighbors so you could look across and see into each other's
00:13:41
rooms. You get the idea. I do. One day she was doing homework at her desk which is against the
00:13:47
opposite wall from the window when the phone rang. It was her sweet old lady neighbor on the
00:13:51
other end who told my mom, Katie dear, try to stay calm, but there's a man on a ladder watching you through your window.
00:13:59
Try to stay calm, Katie dear. Katie dear, I know this might be the first time you've dealt
00:14:03
with this. Not mine, anyway. Now don't stand up screaming. My mom somehow managed to keep from losing her
00:14:11
shit and calmly got up without looking behind her and walked down the hall to my
00:14:15
grandma's room to inform her of the situation. My grandma quickly called the police, but that creepy motherfucker booked it before the cops got there.
00:14:22
And then to go check out the ladder he left behind in his haste. They also found, all caps, a fucking butcher knife next to it.
00:14:30
Oh, that's fucking ominous. That's not funny anymore. No, that's how this show always goes.
00:14:37
Yep. Light laughs. Oh, can you believe this? And then boom. That's right. I never see it coming.
00:14:44
No. sadly they never caught this guy but he didn't come back after that day as if this weren't already
00:14:49
creepy enough after the whole debacle was over my grandmother informed my mom that she had found
00:14:54
other items beneath her window over the past few weeks such as polaroid pictures of her and flowers
00:15:00
but was told by the police that nothing could be done without a threat being made i'm sorry
00:15:05
a ladder up to a teenage girl's window is a threat yes or no the knife's a threat
00:15:11
But being a peeping Tom being step one in usually sexual assault situations, that would be a threat.
00:15:20
But this is what year was this? This is probably in the 70s in Oklahoma. Oh, right.
00:15:25
OK. Yeah. So that was back when peeping Toms were hilarious. Right. They're like, that's normal.
00:15:29
Everyone does it. Oh, boys will be boys. Yeah. Let them have their butcher knives.
00:15:33
Exactly. Of course, I had a million other questions like what other treasures the dude left behind.
00:15:39
but my mom has refused to talk about the whole thing since. At least now I understand why she's always so paranoid
00:15:45
about locking the doors and windows and closing all the blinds at night. You think you're safe on the second,
00:15:50
at least I do, on the second floor, but ladders exist. We got to get rid of ladders, guys.
00:15:55
Get, let, ban all ladders. Sign our petition. Thank you for being awesome humans

Dear Exactly Right employee or intern who screens hometowns. Oh, that's Lily. Lily.
00:20:11
That's dear Lily. I took Karen and George's advice and used my quarantine induced free time.
00:20:17
Quarantine induced. Yeah. Quarantine induced free time to ask my parents for their hometowns.
00:20:22
And boy, did my mom and dad deliver. That's so smart. Yeah. Ask your parents for theirs.
00:20:28
If you don't have one of your own. OK. Love it. While they had some real gems, this story was the most lighthearted and perfect for a pandemic.
00:20:36
My mom's cousin, Cheryl. I have a cousin, Cheryl. My mom's cousin Cheryl worked at a rural Idaho convenience store in the 70s.
00:20:45
She was manning the cash register alone one night when a guy came in and started skulking around the store.
00:20:50
Skulking. Skulking is so threatening. Yeah. It's like shifty eyes and your shoulders are up a little bit.
00:20:58
Yeah. Just kind of greasy. There's a grease element. He eventually approached her and asked her for a can of peaches that was behind the counter.
00:21:07
And then in parentheses, I guess they kept the canned fruit by the cigarettes in those days.
00:21:13
That is super hilariously weird. She turned to get the peaches. And when she turned back around, this perv had his penis displayed on the counter.
00:21:23
Something about laying a penis on a surface is so gross. Well, that gets you in both ways because you don't want to see the penis and you don't like the germs that will eventually be on that penis.
00:21:35
Totally. convenience store counter. It's also almost like at a jewelry store, like
00:21:40
showing the... I hate it. I hate it. You have to pull out your jeweler's loop and look
00:21:46
really closely at the penis. I don't want to. And then you're like, that's not a
00:21:50
diamond. Wait a second. I was promised a diamond. With near superhuman reaction speed,
00:21:58
she slammed the can down on his junk. There was some disagreement between my parents about the size of the can, but us
00:22:06
mormons love our bulk food storage so i like to imagine a giant seven pound can us mormons love our bulk food storage god we learned so much such a good little tidbit tidbits
00:22:21
and factoids okay he passed out giving cheryl time to call for help yeah he passed out that's
00:22:29
how bad that was for him hell yeah don't put it up there if you can't handle a big can on it
00:22:33
the first responders arrived. She was giving her statement to the cops while the paramedics loaded creepy
00:22:39
bastard onto a gurney. When she got to the part about the peaches, the EMT started laughing so hard that they dropped the gurney and broke
00:22:47
creepy bastard's arm. Oh my God. That's hilarious. I know you all love a story where the perp gets is just dessert.
00:22:58
So I hope this story brightened your day during what's otherwise a dark, weird time.
00:23:02
it did it really did stay sexy and hoard canned fruit instead of toilet paper Rochelle
00:23:10
I just love the idea of this Mormon girl who's like probably hasn't seen a penis
00:23:16
before and just knew to react like that immediately instead of being horrified smash
00:23:21
I love it smash it well and also it's like you know if he was a skulker the vibes were bad right
00:23:28
you know she knew something was about to happen and so like it was just like whether
00:23:32
it was he had placed a knife on the counter or a note that said, give me all your money
00:23:37
or his own penis. She was going to smash it with a can. That was going to be her reaction.
00:23:42
Thank God. Thank God it was number three. Rochelle, that was amazing. Thank you so much.
00:23:47
Rochelle, love it. Love a penis smash story. Any Mormon stories, come on. We laugh, we love, and we learn.
00:23:55
That's right. This is not a murder story, but a meet cute since you asked for them, it says.
00:23:59
That's right. And shortly before the pandemic took over all the things, I had a dream about someone I hadn't talked to in probably five or more years.
00:24:08
He and I had a brief fling back in the day, but neither of us were in a place emotionally to let it be anything more than that.
00:24:14
After this dream, I felt an extreme nagging sensation that I needed to reach out to him and see what was up and how he'd been.
00:24:21
It took me almost a week to mull it over and decide to send a message. But I did.
00:24:25
He answered immediately and we began catching up. Two weeks later, we're Facebook official.
00:24:31
And honestly, I'm still in shock and awe. He was my brother's high school best friend.
00:24:38
Hey, girl. And I had a friend of the family. And I can't help but feel like my mom, who passed away three years ago, heard my heartache over numerous unhealthy relationships and nudged me in this direction.
00:24:49
Quarantine sucks, but we're making it. And honestly, I think I might be losing my mind if we hadn't met at the time we did.
00:24:54

00:25:01
Quarantine. I have gotten texts from people that I don't normally talk to that I think we would normally feel weird texting each other because it'd be like, I'm not trying to I'm not trying to get a hold of you.
00:25:13
I think that might be an L.A. thing of like, I'm not asking you for anything. I'm just saying hi.
00:25:18
Better like I don't have time for lunch or coffee. I just want to check and see how you are.
00:25:22
But that's weird on a normal day. It's weird on a normal day. And now it's like the greatest.
00:25:26
It's like, oh, my God. Thank you. hi, how are you? You know, it's like the loveliest kind of thinking of you,
