00:02:07
Yeah, we haven't done that in a while. We stopped doing it. Why did we not do that?
00:02:11
Because we've only had a couple of shows since Vacation came back. So we're super rusty.
00:02:16
We forget how to be professionals. It's... I mean, you have no idea who's talking.

00:02:33
This is where we read you your stories. Your hometowns. Whatever they may be. Whatever you lie about.
00:02:41
Hey, listen. Hey, listen, creepypasta deliverers. We're on to you. Yeah, kind of.
00:02:47
But this one's very real. Can I go first? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. The subject line of this is an OG hometown.
00:02:54
Hi, I'm FM Crew and Assorted Adorable Pets. My name is Lauren and I hail from Erie, Pennsylvania.
00:02:59
And believe me, the pizza bomber isn't the only reason this place is fucked. Those are Lauren's words, everybody.
00:03:06
It's a good one, though. Okay. So on June 11, 2017, at about 1.30 p.m., Christopher LeClaire, 49, put out a distress call to the U.S. Coast Guard claiming that his wife, Karen LeClaire, 51, had fallen overboard.
00:03:21
Uh-oh. He told investigators that he and his wife had gone out on Lake Erie on their commercial fishing boat, the Doris M, and that Karen had been sitting on a bucket near the side of the boat because she was experiencing motion sickness.
00:03:34
When he looked back to check on her, she had disappeared. And when he realized she wasn't on the boat, the first thing he did was call the Coast Guard.
00:03:41
They did a massive search, but the Coast Guard was not able to find Karen. But here's the thing.
00:03:46
The surveillance video from the lake showed Christopher and Karen boarding their boat together and going out on the lake on June 10th, the day before he reported her overboard.
00:03:56
Oh, shit. The boat returned about three hours later, but docked in a different location away from the Doris M's assigned slip.
00:04:04
A single person got off the boat and drove away in the vehicle that the LeClairs had arrived in earlier that day.
00:04:09
The next day, June 11, 2017, the vehicle returned and a single person boarded the boat and went out on the lake again around noon.
00:04:18
It was an hour and a half later that Leclerc called the Coast Guard. Fuck, dude.
00:04:23
So that is basically when everybody figured out that Christopher Leclerc sits on the throne of lies and charged him with her murder on June 13, 2017.
00:04:31
As it turns out, he was leading a double life, been having an affair and had a girlfriend on the side.
00:04:36
They think an affair and a girlfriend. the sentence goes had been having an affair
00:04:42
and had a girlfriend on the side this guy is busy and a fucking asshole he's great at organizing his time though
00:04:50
they think he had been preparing to do something like this for a while and had even been telling friends
00:04:55
that Karen had terminal cancer and did not have much time to live psychopath three weeks later
00:05:02
a boater found Karen's body about six miles off the coast of Dunkirk, New York on July 4th, 2017
00:05:08
She was tied to an anchor. Police searched the Doris M on July 5th and found ropes which had been cut that matched those found on the body.
00:05:17
An autopsy was done in Erie County, New York on July 5th and determined that Karen LeClaire had died of a gunshot wound to the head and her death was ruled a homicide.
00:05:25
Holy shit. LeClaire then claimed that his wife knew he was having an affair and had asked him to stop talking to his girlfriend three weeks before her death.
00:05:34
He says that Karen committed suicide on the boat that day because she was still upset about the affair.
00:05:40
His lawyer argued that Christopher LeClaire was overwhelmed by what had occurred,
00:05:44
and he did not know what to do and just reacted and did not want people to know that Karen had taken her life,
00:05:49
and that's why he tied her up and threw her overboard. Cool story, Christopher. Oh, my God.
00:05:54
In October of 2018 he was convicted of all charges and then in December he was sentenced to life in prison without parole At least there some justice for Karen and this monster is behind bars forever So
00:06:05
yes, the pizza bomber case was crazy and made national headlines. But don't you worry, we still
00:06:10
have plenty of fucked up shit going on around here. I'd stay saved and do God's missions. But
00:06:16
that's not really my jam. So I'll go with the classic stay sexy and don't get murdered. Lauren.
00:06:20
wow those pesky security cameras i mean that is such a classic og hometown i can't believe it
00:06:28
yeah it's a good one what a monster like he just what a cock oh there he is truly disgusting not cool looking you know scary he looks like the cowardly lion what had a boat
00:06:40
you know yeah boat lion the cowardly boat line totally all right that was fucked up yeah okay
00:06:48
Here's one. This one's called Triple Homicide in Blanchardville, Wisconsin. And I'm taking out the last names that she put in here just because I don't want to get
00:06:56
good idea in trouble. Okay. He, Justin. Okay. So I just was turned on to your podcast and I wanted to share my hometown's triple homicide
00:07:04
story. That's a great, that's a great thought. I remember the story when it happened.
00:07:09
I grew up in Blanchardville, Wisconsin, but at this point I had moved to Madison.
00:07:13
I heard about this through my mother that there was a triple homicide that took place
00:07:16
in the county. Blanchardville has a population of under 800, according to the sign entering the town, which has never changed since I was a child.
00:07:24
So it's always been 800. Most of the story unfolded from articles I read, rumors I heard, and from someone who knew one of the investigators who was there that night.
00:07:33
It started with a plan formed by four to five people. The people that are definitely involved are Jason, Eddie, and Aaron, and Aaron's a female, all in their 20s.
00:07:41
Very early on, there was a rumor that at least one other person was involved, someone I knew from high school,
00:07:46
but it was always a rumor. The group came up with this plan. In the country between Blanchardville and Argyle
00:07:52
lived Bradley and his wife. I'm not saying her name either. Bradley was known to these kids as a local drug dealer
00:07:58
and they saw an opportunity to rob him and the potential to either make money selling the drugs or taking the drugs themselves.
00:08:05
Bad plan. Always a bad idea. The group would pretend to be DEA agents and they would raid the house and rob Bradley.
00:08:12
So they're on drugs themselves? Seems like bad drugs. Yeah, hallucinogenic. Not the fun kind of let's hold hands and do a drum circle.
00:08:20
No. No. When the night came to pull the plan off, one or two additional people were a no-show.
00:08:25
For whatever reason, the trio decided to continue on with the plan anyways. They brought two vehicles.
00:08:31
One was left over a mile away as a backup, and the other was driven to the home.
00:08:35
Bradley's home was previously a cheese factory converted into a residence. Wisconsin.
00:08:40
Okay. Can I just say there's a cheese factory in the countryside of Petaluma that we'd always take people to.
00:08:49
You have a nice picnic by a lake with geese and stuff like that. Love it. The inside of the cheese factory was the smelliest place I've ever been in my life.
00:08:57
I can imagine. The idea that you would live inside. Imagine it. It's like all cement.
00:09:03
Is it? Yeah. I've never been in a cheese factory. Because they're dealing with dairy things.
00:09:07
Like there can't be a ton of moisture. It's so gross. Okay, it's disgusting. So picture the smell.
00:09:13
You're there. Feet. Feet smell. So previously a cheese factory converted into a residence.
00:09:19
And Bradley was also not only a drug dealer, but a gun collector. So we're going to go rob a drug dealing.
00:09:25
A cheese connoisseur. So he's the worst person anyone could rob. You should not rob this person as a rule in your life.
00:09:35
You should know that in your 20s. This is going to be a bad experience, whether it be olfactory experience or just getting shot in the gut.
00:09:42
Well, it gets bad. Okay. It is unknown if the trio knew this detail about the guns.
00:09:47
It is also unclear if they knew that Bradley had an extensive security system around his home, which alerted him of their arrival.
00:09:54
I mean, like he's a drug dealer. Of course he does. So what went down exactly is unclear.
00:09:59
Spoiler, as accounts were limited to the survivors. But the trio ran into the house and caught Brad.
00:10:05
Brad's dog was barking at the commotion, which woke Jenna up, who came to see what was going on and was then taken hostage herself.
00:10:12
Brad at one point got away and got a weapon from his bedroom. Brad then came back and shot Eddie three times.
00:10:20
I bet. Jason and Aaron ran, with Jason getting shot in the head as he attempted to escape.
00:10:26
Aaron, the female, would make it back to the car and escape successfully. Oh, my God.
00:10:31
Erin drove back to one of the nearby towns and struggled to make a decision on what to do.
00:10:36
I had heard she contacted someone, told them what happened, and then they were like, you should call the fucking police.
00:10:42
Meanwhile, back at the crime scene, Jenna called the local authorities to report a home intrusion.
00:10:47
This is speculated that had Erin not escaped, Brad and Jenna wouldn't have involved the police and instead handled the cleanup themselves.
00:10:54
But with a witness out there, they wanted to get ahead of the story. But having the police at the house where Bradley dealt drugs from made him trip up his story.
00:11:02
He surrendered the gun he had used to kill the two kids to the police on arrival.
00:11:07
When asked, what do you think the motive for robbing you was? He shared that he had a gun collection.
00:11:12
While showing his guns, the police saw his pill stash. So an officer was stationed with the drugs and guns, which Bradley may have seen that things were going to get only more complicated from there.
00:11:24
Now, keep in mind, Bradley was initially being treated as a victim of home invasion.
00:11:28
With these new items in development, the police asked if he had any additional weapons on him and then began to pat him down.
00:11:34
The following detail he heard from another person who knew the officer that performed the pat down.
00:11:39
Starting at Brad's ankles, there came a boom and what the officer said felt like rain, which made him think to himself in the moment, why is it raining inside the house?
00:11:48
Uh-oh. Brad had a gun in his waistband and figuring the situation was only going to get worse from here on out drew the gun and shot himself in the chin Oh my God Because now the local authorities were now witnesses to a new crime State authorities had to take over the case This brought the death toll to three with
00:12:05
two surviving witnesses, Jenna and Aaron. Now the police had only the pills as drugs. And for quite
00:12:10
a while, that was the only angle they worked with. A few days later, a relative of Jenna and Brad
00:12:15
recalled them, recalled while helping them move into the house, a room in the basement and tipped
00:12:20
the police to its existence. Oh, this led the police to a hidden room where they had a marijuana
00:12:24
in a growing room. Yeah, which isn't that big of a fucking thing. It's not. I know.
00:12:29
That's as much of the story as I've known for years. Reading the article reminded me of some details and clarified others.
00:12:34
For years, when I would tell people I was from Blanchardville, people usually didn't
00:12:38
know where that was. So I would say it's a small town known for a triple homicide, a bank scandal, and our
00:12:44
high school girls basketball team making it to state three years in a row. Way to go, Blanchard Wolverines.
00:12:51
Anyway, I hope this sounded interesting. Let me know if you have any questions. So many questions or need anything clarified.
00:12:57
I need I need life clarified. This need. Yeah. Justin S. Justin, I don't know whose side to be on.
00:13:03
I don't know who's in the wrong. There's it's all victims in this one. Yeah. There's no.
00:13:10
Yes. Or it's all bad guys in this one. I can't figure it out. Yeah. But I feel like if the if the him being a drug dealer, quote unquote, was because he
00:13:19
was growing a bunch of pot. Yeah. As I drive down the street in Los Angeles and every other storefront is a weed store.
00:13:27
It's tragic that anybody had to be killed or feel like they had to kill themselves.
00:13:32
No, it's a fucking hometown right there. Yeah. Great job. Even though it's a bummer, it's a hometown.
00:13:37
That's all we require. You're going to like this one, I think. Okay, good. Well, qualified.
00:13:42
Okay. The subject line is an Epstein connection that goes all the way to the top.
00:13:46
Yes, an Epstein connection. I fucking love it. Let's do this. and could have put my dad in jail.
00:13:51
Send us your Epstein connections. We'll do it anonymous. We won't tell anyone. We won't say your name.
00:13:57
Make up any story you want about it. Okay, ready? Hello, friends, both with and without fur.
00:14:05
Ain't none of us here. Yeah, really. It says mustaches included at the end of that.
00:14:11
But I'm a massive fan of the show. I have a ton of creepy hometown stories because I spent most of my life
00:14:15
in a pretty crime-ridden city state. I just what Florida Baltimore I also just recently got my master's in forensic psychology in
00:14:24
Edinburgh Scotland so crime is kind my thing to study not to do for the first time I have direct
00:14:30
connection to a current criminal case and it goes all the way to the top yeah all caps exclamation
00:14:35
point it's a little long but I promise it's worth it my hometown of Albuquerque New Mexico
00:14:39
has recently come into the media thanks to a literal piece of flaming garbage Jeffrey Epstein
00:14:44
may he rot in hell if it exists this is all on the page his massive ranch in the desert
00:14:49
has been revealed as a place where he wanted to quote seed the human race by impregnating a bunch of women
00:14:56
and doing fuck knows what the other people you need to know about are the for those who don't know
00:15:03
the family are one of the wealthiest in America and their patriarch grew his money in the
00:15:08
a lot of the family is estranged but one of them was named in the court documents
00:15:12
released about Epstein Okay, so back in 2001, my dad, who works in the spa and hotel industry, was asked to do a, quote, special favor for a personal friend of the family.
00:15:25
He was asked to design a, quote, private spa with multiple, quote, treatment rooms and amenities at the New Mexico ranch.
00:15:33
Holy shit. He was told to work directly with, I don't know how to pronounce her name, Ghislaine Maxwell, and then parentheses Epstein's nightmarish partner in crime and ex-girlfriend, to create a space where, quote, special friends could receive massages.
00:15:48
There's so many quoted phrases in this email. He was also asked to recommend female massage therapists to, quote, work special events at the ranch.
00:15:57
Pass. Hard pass. Yeah. Thankfully, after a lot of back and forth questioning, the project fizzled out.
00:16:03
He then found out, I believe her dad, found out that the therapist he had initially recommended were rejected because they were, quote, not the type of therapist they were looking for.
00:16:13
And, quote, Miss Maxwell wanted younger and more attractive women. The whole project never sat easy with my dad, but he had little to go off of other than a gut feeling until a few years later when he found out what Epstein had really been up to.
00:16:27
Yes, all this information has been available for over a decade and nothing has been done about it until now.
00:16:34
My dad said he's so thankful he never contributed anything meaningful to the project or completed any work.
00:16:39
But of course, he felt sick to have associated with these trash cans in any way.
00:16:43
Had he not listened to his gut and asked questions, he potentially could have been witness to something horrific.
00:16:48
And I'm sure our lives would be very different. Stay sexy and don't build a spa for the leader of a pedophile ring.

00:18:08
Hey everyone, it's Cal Penn, host of Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club.
00:18:13
This week on the podcast, I'm sitting down with divergent author Veronica Roth to talk about her
00:18:18
sprawling new novel, Seek the Traitor's Son. It's a sci-fi fantasy epic about two protagonists
00:18:24
on opposite sides of a war and a prophecy neither of them wanted. My first book was Divergent.
00:18:30
And when that came out, like, because it was so popular, I think it attracted, like, mostly positivity,
00:18:35
but the negativity I sucked in like a sponge. And I think it was, like, critiques of things I liked when I was, like,
00:18:43
you know, I was 23 and I wrote this book and it had all my, like, dorky little cheesy or maybe unrealistic loves in it.
00:18:50
And I started to feel a lot of shame about those things. And so for the rest of my career, I steered away from those little things that make you feel pleasure when you read.
00:19:03
But I also was saying no to these parts of myself that I then was like, screw it.
00:19:10
So that's this book. Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:19:20
This is called Murdered by Snail. All right. And this one's from Pittsburgh. That's a slow murder.
00:19:28
Well, wait till you hear this. This one's from Pittsburgh. And you can tell because it says,
00:19:33
First Georgia, Karen, Stephen, feline, cookie monster. That's all this. Yin's guys are so awesome.
00:19:39
So Yin's a murderino. That's up, Pittsburgh. Yin's guys are so awesome. And I was truly questioning my own mental state being morbid and fucked up until I started listening to your podcast.
00:19:49
So thanks for making me feel a bit more normal and a bit extra morbid. So here's my story.
00:19:54
I grew up on military bases as my dad was a U.S. Marine. I spent five years of my childhood on Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan,
00:20:03
loving life on the tropical island. I was there from 1996 to 2001, putting me from six years old to 11.
00:20:10
Spending a large chunk of my childhood there was super cool, but also terrifying as islands such as this are home to some of the most fucked up bugs ever.
00:20:18
when it would rain there there would literally be hundreds of thousands of these fat worms that
00:20:23
would appear all over the streets and sidewalks and the smell of them being crushed under the
00:20:27
tires of cars still haunts me today no driving down the streets you could look up and see monster
00:20:33
spider webs and trees accompanied by banana spiders which are nightmarish and huge and bite
00:20:39
what steven steven photo please one time when we were on our way to a water park a banana spider
00:20:45
fell onto our car, crawled into our sunroof, and down my mother's hair. This better be a creepypasta, because I'm getting very upset.
00:20:54
I don't get creepypasta from this. That's right, her fucking hair. Anyway, to the point.
00:21:00
In 2000, these massive snails appeared on the island. Giant African snails, to be exact.
00:21:05
And let me tell you, these things were everywhere, from trees to cars to houses.
00:21:10
If it was a surface, there was a big snail on it. Now, when I say giant, it's no exaggeration.
00:21:16
These things were about three inches tall and eight inches or more long. Just sick, nasty, fucked up snails that have no business existing.
00:21:23
A snail that's almost a foot long. Being that I was a badass 10-year-old, I didn't know this girl, but a 7-year-old from my school was walking home with a group of her classmates and neighbors when they began teasing her and dared her to pick up and hold one of these disgusting African snails for several minutes.
00:21:39
This young girl did exactly what any of us badass broads would have. She furiously picked up that eight-inch snail and let it climb from her hand up her arm before releasing it.
00:21:49
Bravo, young warrior. But this is where shit gets weird. Later that night, that cute little girl fell into a coma.
00:21:55
No one knew what the cause was, but it lasted for several days, ultimately leading to the poor thing's death.
00:22:01
Turns out these snails were infected with a parasite, which was transmitted to the little girl taking her life.
00:22:06
We were all then urged strongly not to touch the snails, which I think everyone was comfortable with.
00:22:11
I just think it's so fucked up that this sweet little girl who was just proving her bravery to smelly boys had to go in such a sad and unusual fashion.
00:22:19
Moral of the story is don't pick up bugs, especially on foreign tropical islands.
00:22:23
Stay sexy and don't get murdered by a snail. P.S. That same year, a poisonous Japanese snake killed my cat Arnold.
00:22:29
So hold Elvis close tonight and keep him away from snakes, please. Maria B. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
00:22:35
Fuck, Maria. What a bummer hometown. I'm so mad right now. But that's the creepiest thing I've ever heard.
00:22:42
It's horrible. But also, I would just like to say this. If somebody dares you to do something, you absolutely have the right to pick up the snail and throw it at the person daring you.
00:22:53
Like this idea that she had to prove is a fallacy. And look, we're talking about kids, whatever.
00:22:59
But I'm just saying that to anybody listening. Don't always forget your option of fuck you.
00:23:04
yeah it's there and it's important steven are you going to show us a banana spider this is a good
00:23:09
this is the banana spider let me see oh no there's a hand so you can see the size comparison

assorted fur babies if you just insist upon doing fur babies just i started I just started listening about a month ago, and I love listening to the stories you share.
00:24:03
I've been a murderino my entire life. I was an early reader, so in first grade, I began reading Nancy Drew, and my obsession
00:24:09
with murder and mystery began. Loved Nancy Drew. So good. Loved those book covers.
00:24:15
Yeah. The best. I knew that I had to write in when a few days ago, my mom told me a news story about my
00:24:22
uncle and his time spent in San Quentin. Oh, dear. That's where I'm from. San Quentin?
00:24:26
Uh-huh. My uncle Don moved to California in the late 80s to become a, quote, big star.
00:24:32
Oh, good. Apparently, a few months after he arrived, he got into a violent bar fight and killed a man when he hit him with a bar stool.
00:24:39
So Don was charged with manslaughter and sentenced to three to 10 years in San Quentin.
00:24:43
I knew all of this, but evidently he was assigned to the same cell block as the one and only Charles Manson before Manson was transferred to Cochran.
00:24:52
my uncle had a similar hairstyle as manson and resembled him pretty closely in the face as well
00:24:58
close enough that the men asked him if he and manson were brothers when asked don told my mom
00:25:05
he would say we might be related but never claimed to be his brother outright due to fear that manson
00:25:10
might hear his claim get angry and have him shanked essentially he used manson's prison cred to stay
00:25:16
safe while in prison for the three years he served before being released for good behavior and
00:25:21
overcrowding it's crazy to me that someone from West Virginia would end up using Charles Manson's
00:25:26
prison rep stay safe in prison stay sexy and don't murder anyone Jenny yeah yeah that's fucked up bar
00:25:34
fights man yeah don get anyone so intense you see it so you always see in these like movies and bar fights someone breaking a bottle or a chair over someone and it like they don get up and keep fighting after that Don do that You watch Roadhouse and you think it a documentary and it not
00:25:49
It's not. Quit kidding yourself. OK. First responder, hometown. It says we're all busy.
00:25:57
So let's get to it. Hey, yay. I'm a police officer in Canada. Not going to say where as we got to protect people's privacy.
00:26:03
True. I train a lot of rookies because I'm apparently, quote, calm to the point that I'm not sure she knows what's going on.
00:26:10
And this is written by my supervisor on my year end evaluation. Good for you, Kate.
00:26:17
Calm to the point where I'm not sure she knows what's going on. I think she meant you're high.
00:26:22
You seem high. That's an invaluable ability. Absolutely. Unshakeable. Yeah. Just peace.
00:26:28
That thing of like, are they paying attention? Are they paying attention? And then they turn and they're like, here's all the attention I've been paying.
00:26:33
Here's your Miranda rights. Recited correctly. I memorized them. I had been with one of my rookies for about a month when we got a call that one of our local bad guys had just shot himself in the head in front of his girlfriend.
00:26:46
We got to the house and found the guy face down with a gun next to him and blood on the floor.
00:26:51
I told the rookie to go get the gun and the second he went to go walk over the body, it got up.
00:27:00
Basically, it's a really hard way to write that sentence. Yeah. But basically, because you're not going to say the body got up.
00:27:05
Right. Because that sounds weird. I went to walk over the body. There should be a comma there.
00:27:09
It got up. Oh, my God. Kate, I need you to pay more attention and put a comma there.
00:27:15
The man yelled, my head hurts. Oh, shit. My head hurts. And my rookie was now riding the guy back as he tried to get up Turns out the bullet ended up ricocheting off the guy skull We managed to get him into an ambulance which my rookie then got to drive as the medics were both working on the guy
00:27:31
and I was holding him down. Wow. My rookie was excited as he wasn't even allowed to drive the police car yet.
00:27:38
After we got to the hospital, I asked my rookie if he was doing okay. He responded, better now.
00:27:43
When he got up, I thought the zombie apocalypse had started. I reminded him that when dead people get up, they are not zombies.
00:27:50
and not to shoot them. Big thanks for the podcast and shining a light on the importance of therapy.
00:27:55
Your podcast is greatly loved by all of us first responders. Much love, Katie B.
00:28:00
Wow, Katie. That is a horrifying story. That guy's got an I survived. Yeah, he's an I survived.
00:28:07
And I'm very interested because that does happen sometimes. Really? Yeah, it happens on I survived.
00:28:14
People get shot in the head and live. It happens a lot more than I ever thought it would.
00:28:19
but I wonder I'm interested to see if that guy basically has a new lease on life
00:28:24
it's like you're the luckiest human being there is what are you going to do now now you have to become a first responder
00:28:32
yeah at least drive the ambulance for this poor town they only have two people they don't let the rookie do anything
