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
This is a story of greed, betrayal, and a fight for justice. Listen to Dr. Death the Cowboy wherever you get your podcasts

Goodbye. My favorite murder it's over. You know, it's easy. You know, it's funny. Like we always talk about we feel lucky
00:02:03
and this is a dream come true. Yeah. But literally my favorite thing in school, the only thing I ever
00:02:07
really liked to do in school was read aloud in class. Oh, and now I get paid to do that.
00:02:14
Jobs because you never get picked. You never get called on. No. Or they do paragraph. Each person
00:02:19
takes a paragraph and you're never going to shine, Karen. I mean, I would have to wait, you know,
00:02:23
49 to 59 other kids and sitting there going, are you really going to read it like that?
00:02:29
Yeah. That's not how you pronounce that. Goose that adjective or whatever. Who am I?
00:02:34
Who am I to talk about not pronouncing shit right? I can't believe you didn't pronounce Worchester that way.
00:02:40
I went up in the attic and it was fun. Okay, go. Oh, wait. On a forensic files I saw recently, one of the talking head experts pronounced it addict.
00:02:50
I love them. Up in the attic. They're my best friend. I was like, I should record it for you.
00:02:54
I wish you would. Okay. The subject line of this is another Virginia hometown weirdo.
00:03:00
Great. Hi, Karen, Georgia, Stephen, Elvis, Mimi, Dottie, Frank, George, etc., etc.
00:03:05
Wow. Yeah. First of all, I want to say thank you for helping me get through my last semester of college.
00:03:11
No problem. I had a super long commute and a lot of really tedious projects, and listening to you guys really helped me get through my long days and nights.
00:03:18
On graduation day, I listened to the podcast on my way to campus. if that's a good measure of how obsessed I am with this show.
00:03:24
That's awesome. Thank you. My hometown weirdo has some backstory. I'm from Sterling, Virginia,
00:03:29
a few miles from where the butt slasher apparently operated. And after hearing that particular mini-sode on my drive home one day
00:03:36
and dying laughing over it, I immediately went and told my mom about it. But she had an even better story.
00:03:42
They always do. She said that a few years ago in my town, there were a few incidents where a woman would wake up in the middle of the night
00:03:48
and find a strange man just laying in bed next to her. What the fuck? After the woman understandably screamed and flipped her shit, the man would just jump up out of the bed and run.
00:03:57
This only happened two or three times, but he was dubbed the snuggler. Oh, guys.
00:04:03
My mom's theory was that he was just a drunk guy that had walked into someone's house thinking it was his own and laid down in bed only to be woken up with someone screaming in his ear.
00:04:11
Maybe one time. Maybe, but I kind of doubt that it was that innocent. Yeah, we do too.
00:04:16
I think he did end up getting caught, but I couldn't find very much information about him.
00:04:20
Although, while I was looking him up, I found articles about another more recent case of a man in Sterling who snuck into women's houses to touch them in the middle of the night.
00:04:30
Definitely creepy, and he didn't get a hilarious nickname, but he was caught only a few months ago, April 2019.
00:04:37
Despite this, and even though I laughed about it for a long time, I couldn't go to sleep for hours that night, laying awake in fear of the snuggler.
00:04:43
well that's it stay sexy and don't get snuggled Sarah man sleeping is such a vulnerable fucking thing
00:04:50
that's why you put the chair under the doorknob then you take a piece of fishing wire
00:04:55
and you string it across the doorway invisible to it and then you put cowbells on either side
00:05:01
and then you start a jam band and then you invite fish into your room every night
00:05:06
this is called co-worker lives in haunted Ypsilanti Ripper murder house Hello, beautiful Steven and my powerful women.
00:05:14
Wow. All caps. I am freaking out. I've been waiting years to write in a story and my new co-worker, let's call her Allie, just shared something so wild I immediately had to tell you guys.
00:05:25
The other day at work, she nonchalantly said, the sorority house I'm living in is kind of haunted.
00:05:30
I'm more of a Georgia when it comes to my belief in ghosts, but I immediately demanded her to tell me.
00:05:34
Me too. She asked if I had heard of the Michigan murders and quickly realized that she was referring to the Ypsilanti Ripper.
00:05:41
John Norman Collins. She proceeded to tell me that her sorority house is the Ypsilanti Ripper's
00:05:46
uncle's house. Oh, shit. Read The Michigan Murders, everyone. It's such a fucking good book.
00:05:52
The Michigan Murders by Edward Keyes It old but it fucking like a great true crime book Oh good It such a fucked up story Do you have it Yeah Vince gave it to me when we were first dating And I was like oh hey will you marry me Oh No right
00:06:05
Yeah. Yeah. He doesn't like murder. Okay. I won't borrow that one then since it's a, it binds your love together.
00:06:11
Yeah, I wish you wouldn't. I can get my own. I'll get you one. I'll get it for you.
00:06:14
For my next birthday. That's right. This may seem unimportant at first. Like, okay, cool, a relative.
00:06:19
But this house is where his last murder took place. Oh, my God. John Norman Collins murdered Karen Bindman in his, ahem, police corporal uncle's basement while he was house-sitting.
00:06:31
Oh, no. How fucked up is that? He cleaned up the evidence poorly. For example, he painted over a bloodstain in the basement and left a bottle of ammonia just to prove he's the worst.
00:06:40
Your fucking uncle is a police corporal. Are you kidding me with this shit? This evidence is what led to his eventual arrest.
00:06:46
Anyways, on to the hauntings. Allie told me that once in the middle of the night, she woke up and saw a weird figure in her room.
00:06:52
She described it as the Grim Reaper, but all white, hovering at the end of her bed.
00:06:56
When I asked what she did when she saw that, expecting her to be freaking out internally as I was hearing her story, she said,
00:07:02
I turned on the fairy lights and went back to bed. That's actually kind of a good solution.
00:07:08
Yeah. Because it looks so twinkly and pretty. Yeah, you're in a Wes Anderson movie now.
00:07:13
Nothing can go wrong. Hey, how about you rom-com your way out of this ghost situation?
00:07:18
What if you fall in love with a ghost? Oh, my God. That was amazing. Back to bed.
00:07:27
I appreciate her candor. One of her roommates also claimed to see the figure that same night.
00:07:32
She said that when guys have slept over at the house, they have nightmares of a girl being murdered.
00:07:37
Other typical ghost things have happened to like the oven turning on, pots and pans falling off the shelves, lights randomly turning on and light switches not working.
00:07:45
And then it says, and this is such a fucking me thing, paranormal or faulty wiring.
00:07:50
That's right. She told me how they have done many sage cleanses and even had a pastor come in to bless the house and expel, quote, bad energy.
00:07:56
After thinking about it, I understand why she wasn't afraid of this ghostly figure.
00:08:00
If it really was the spirit of Karen Bindman, who was a freshman EMU student at the time, I wouldn't be afraid of her either.
00:08:06
She was just a sweet baby angel who had her life cut short too soon by a total asshole.
00:08:12
And then I'll cap, sorry, this was so long. I love you all dearly. Thank you for the joy you give me during times I felt alone.
00:08:19
XOXO, Stevie. aww stevie stevie stevie i can i just say and i know both stevie and georgia are big ghost
00:08:27
cynics steven how do you feel about ghosts oh i definitely believe in ghosts yeah i would have
00:08:31
guessed that sweet so two against two uh no but well and the ghost the ghost that's my friend
00:08:37
doesn't believe in me so it's two against two god damn it all right well i've got this alligator
00:08:41
i'm about to throw at you and he believes in ghosts that's from last week's episode
00:08:45
oh shit damn it cut that out we're recording two in a row so we can have a fucking vacation
00:08:51
it's fine this is what it's really like this is a real deal but I was going to say
00:08:57
you know my ghost experience and my big old ghost story that I love to tell and some connected things are
00:09:04
dreaming about it before you have the experience having the experience and hearing dishes in the kitchen
00:09:10
those were all things that happened in our house too So maybe the dishes are haunted.
00:09:15
Maybe. We definitely didn't do dishes, so we knew that it couldn't be us. Maybe you're Beauty and the Beast.
00:09:22
Maybe you live. Maybe thank you and fuck you. I met you and Steven. Subject line of this is I went to prom with a murderer.
00:09:30
Great. Nice. Hello, my best friends who don't know they're my best friends. And also Steven and sweet fuzzy angel BBs.
00:09:38
I'm going to jump right in. Years ago, my dad had a good friend, Ronald, and Ronald had a gorgeous son named Chad, who was a year older than me.
00:09:45
I was in love with him, starting in sixth grade, and I finally managed to snag him freshman year.
00:09:51
She put in three years of work on Chad. Good for you, honey. Chad was my first real boyfriend, lost my V-card to him in his neighbor's barn, no less, where we live as a super rural.
00:10:02
Itchy. That sounds itchy. Yeah, it's a little, you're going to get a rush. And ticks.
00:10:07
Not in the barn. No? No, no. Okay, I don't know. I was so in love with him as much as my 14-year-old heart could love.
00:10:13
Oh, that's a lot. It's kind of more than a 30-something-year-old heart can love, I think.
00:10:17
Yes, I think you love less and less over the years. I agree. This is the great fight that we as human beings have to fight.
00:10:23
Please love like a 14-year-old. That's right. Passionately, constantly on the verge of tears.
00:10:27
Yeah. A little bit hysterical. That's right. You go fucking crazy. Go all in. Okay.
00:10:33
We're all fools. But not for the guy you're dating right now. He's a dick. No, no.
00:10:36
God, that guy's the worst. Yeah, don't worry about him. None of your friends like him.
00:10:39
Not him or her. Okay. Chad was really popular and athletic, played basketball and baseball, and was adored by
00:10:46
all teachers. As I was a weird, chubby, hippie goth girl, I felt like I'd won the boyfriend lottery.
00:10:52
I loved spending weekends with his family, watching cartoons with his little brother,
00:10:56
going fishing, eating his mom's grilled cheese sandwiches, and stealing weed from his dad's
00:11:00
dad. Yeah. That is a goth hippie girl's dream life. They were a completely sweet, normal, all-American family.
00:11:07
The only prom I ever went to was with Chad I bought a very beautiful ivory gown That doesn't sound very goth
00:11:14
Stripper heels to match Had my hair, nails, and makeup done The works He comes to pick me up in khakis
00:11:19
And a black and gray sweater vest Over a white t-shirt Knotted What the actual fuck
00:11:24
I was so upset But he said his parents couldn't afford to rent a tux Aww Yeah, now we all feel bad
00:11:29
Yeah, sorry Which was Which would have been nice to know beforehand Good point But anyway
00:11:34
We went, danced, made out Had a great night around a month or so later chad dumped me i was devastated and bawled my eyes out threatened
00:11:41
self-harm the whole nine yards teenage right i you could not pay me to be a teenager again
00:11:47
no it's absolutely the worst it's the worst it's an assault on all your senses especially
00:11:51
uh your emotions which are not a sense as i say it i i know i wrong um he came over to give me my things from his house back a few weeks later and when he asked if we could still be friends
00:12:07
I punched him dead in the mouth. Yeah. I mean, he doesn't sound like he deserved it,
00:12:12
but also, like, that's a cute hippie goth. Cute, but then also, yeah, don't do it.
00:12:17
Tone it down a little. Yeah. Go high. When they go low, you go high. She did. She punched him in the face.
00:12:23
Instead of the nuts. He's straight. Okay. He left angry and bleeding. I also cut his Letterman's jacket into a million pieces and mailed the shreds back to him a little at a time.
00:12:34
Oh, my God. I was so dramatic. She's fucking. She's teaching a course. She's taking the hurt, and she's making an art project of it.
00:12:44
That's right. And then forcing him to look at it. Performance art. Yeah. Learn it, Chad.
00:12:48
Performance art through the mail. That's right. Cut to tennis years and a million garbage guys later.
00:12:53
My dad calls me one Saturday morning while I'm driving to ask if I've seen the front page of the paper.
00:12:58
I hadn't, and he said, go get one ASAP. I whip into the gas station and run to the newspaper stand.
00:13:05
There's Chad's picture, accompanied by an article detailing the murder of his best friend that he committed.
00:13:11
Oh, my God. Seems he'd really gotten into drugs after high school and strung out on meth.
00:13:17
Offed his bud over some drug money. The body wasn't found for over a month and had to be ID'd by a distinctive tattoo the guy had.
00:13:25
I was in shock, but not really. Boy, do I know how to pick them. Anyway, thanks, you guys, for making me feel less alone and isolated in my weirdness.
00:13:33
Y'all are the best. Stay sexy and don't go to prom with a guy wearing a sweater vest.
00:13:37
Amber. Okay, here's the thing. Amber, I think his life went down the tubes when he lost you.
00:13:45
That's right. Or his Letterman jacket. Maybe that's all he cared about. That's where all his power was contained.
00:13:49
That's right. Could be. But don't blame yourself. You're not wrong. No. Catch some shit up.
00:13:55
And also, you know what? Reapproach. Yeah. Now the next time you go to date somebody, say, what about this person is Chad-like?
00:14:02
Right. And if it's more than five things, you can't go out with that person. The third question you need to be asking your date is, do you own a tuxedo?
00:14:09
Yes. And that's it. And that's how you know. And if the answer is no, say, can you afford to rent a tuxedo?
00:14:16
Right. If you can't, one will be provided for you. Are you willing to wear a tuxedo t-shirt?
00:14:21
They're funny. That's great. And they get the job done. Oh, I got my fucking nephew a tuxedo t-shirt to wear at my wedding.
00:14:26

Goodbye. Here we go for da da da da da. Hello everyone This is called a hometown birthday present Hello everyone I am so excited to finally buck up and write this hometown to you My older sister birthday is June 13 So I am writing this in honor of her birthday Happy birthday Courtney Love ya That it No
00:18:08
Stop using our podcast to wish Courtney a happy birthday. Courtney's like, I don't even listen. How do you know, Courtney? Yes, you do.
00:18:15
Courtney, you love this podcast. Stop it. Anyway, okay. We grew up hearing absolutely bonkers stories from our dad as a foster child
00:18:23
on a strawberry farm in the 50s, a Navy veteran, ex-firefighter, an ex-EMT, and construction worker
00:18:31
in Buffalo, New York. Hopefully not all at once. He's seen it all. Yeah, he has more than enough
00:18:37
hometown stories to go around. Well, it certainly wasn't healthy for us to hear all of them,
00:18:40
starting as literal toddlers. At least we always learn to, quote, check our exits
00:18:45
and to carry a pocket knife. And then in parentheses, you never know when you're going to have cheesecake.
00:18:50
And then she said, dad jokes for life. Yes. That's such a dad joke. I will never forget the moment I learned to look both ways when I crossed the street.
00:18:57
He showed me what happens when you don't, using a horrific image from his EMT training
00:19:01
book. Oh, no. Dad. Dad. So, our dad was quite a partier back in his teenage years in the late 70s.
00:19:08
Hasn't totally eased up yet. This is a story where I really think his check your exits catchphrase came from, long before
00:19:15
he became a firefighter. He was at a house party with some friends when two dudes they didn't know showed up.
00:19:20
The guys were harassing the girls, and so my dad and his buddies kicked the guys out.
00:19:24
Little did they know, the guys hid out in the staircase at the apartment house. The party winds down and everyone goes to sleep.
00:19:30
At some point, my dad is in the bathroom when he smells and sees smoke coming under the front door.
00:19:35
What? They are up at least on the third floor of the house. He tries to kick out the tiny window in the bathroom, but to no avail.
00:19:42
He then gets out of the bathroom and rouses the rest of his friends. They all get into the living room, which has a large window.
00:19:48
him and his buddies bust out the window and tell everyone they need to jump out.
00:19:51
The fire was in the only staircase of the house. Oh, shit. There was no getting out.
00:19:56
The girls go first, and I think one of them may have broken her leg in the jump.
00:19:59
All the people at the party jumped out safely. Or so they thought. My dad thought everyone else had left the party, but one guy had actually fallen asleep in the stairwell.
00:20:08
No. He did not wake up in time and died in the fire. So sad. Horrifying. Turns out the guys who had been kicked out were so mad about it that they set the fire in retaliation.
00:20:19
Then it says, what the fuck? Find a new party, you fucking evil losers. I agree.
00:20:23
Yeah. It's hard to imagine how this trauma piled on the many other traumas my dad has experienced.
00:20:27
Still working on that, hey, maybe you should talk with a therapist angle. Good luck with that.
00:20:33
Good luck. Start by getting a subscription to Psychology Today. Yeah. It's a good hint, and they'll start to learn some shit.
00:20:39
Stay sexy and always carry a pocket knife for those unexpected cheesecake moments.
00:20:43
Emma and happy birthday, Courtney. Did she write it again? Emma, your sister's a brat.
00:20:51
Emma, you nailed it. No, I mean, Courtney, your sister Emma's a brat. Here's what I love.
00:20:56
Check your exits is so smart. It really is. It's like it's spatial awareness. It's like know what you're going into.
00:21:02
But that's the thing about, and I got that from, of course, Jim the fireman, too, is that thing of if you go in, you have to be able to get out a different way.
00:21:12
Right. There has to be two ways to get in and out of a place. And because someone was just telling me this.
00:21:18
Wait, please stop me if this was you and I talking to each other. Maybe. I'm so scared right now.
00:21:22
But it was the thing of if something happens and you're in a space like say you go to see a show and a band is playing and something happens, everyone will run toward the place they came in from.
00:21:34
Oh, no, this is not me, but I'm fucking learning something. Yeah. That's why I'm repeating it.
00:21:38
Sorry to whoever said this to me. but basically I feel like it was Cara Clank or someone like that
00:21:44
but basically that everyone will remember where they came in from and go that way
00:21:48
you find the other exit and go the way people aren't going so you don't get trampled or like caught in a
00:21:54
group of people right yeah good to know yeah who said that to me I bet it was Cara Clank I'm gonna give
00:22:00
her full credit but I've been listening to so many podcasts lately that it's I'm having that thing of
00:22:04
like my friends and it's like no that's it's not your we do it too you guys yeah
00:22:08
They don't know you. Okay, this one's lighthearted. Georgia Karen, Stephen Jay, and furry friends.
00:22:14
I also have a random story that I was reminded of when you read female Colby's Garden State Killer story a while back.
00:22:22
While this happened to my sister, she is not a true crime lover, so I get to steal her story and tell it to you.
00:22:26
Yay! That's right. When my sister was about 12 or 13, my mom and dad let her stay home alone for the first time.
00:22:32
She was with one of her friends in our big, scary suburban house when they looked outside and saw a man trying to get into the window with a screwdriver.
00:22:40
Needless to say, they freaked out, grabbed the phone, ran to the laundry room, which is the room without windows.
00:22:45
Yeah. Very smart. Instead of calling 911, she called my mom and dad on their early 90s car phone.
00:22:51
Oh. They called the cops and immediately started back home. During the attempted break-in, my sister saw a van that was mysteriously parked in our driveway
00:22:59
and relayed this information to the cops. the police found this van and brought him back to the house to be identified after my sister and her
00:23:07
friend i did the guy scary that they're like here he is again yeah everyone oh my god you'd think but
00:23:13
after my sister and her friend id'd the guy as would as the would-be burglar the cops started
00:23:17
smiling holding back laughter this man was not the golden state she said garden state killer before
00:23:23
but golden state killer here yeah um she means golden she meant golden yeah there could definitely
00:23:29
be a new jersey killer there's absolutely a garden state killer if there isn't what kill him i don't
00:23:34
know i hope that was okay um there's gotta be yeah the man was not the golden state killer nor was he
00:23:41
trying to break into the house instead he worked for the awning company my parents hired to install
00:23:46
and remove the window awnings every year he was simply removing them packing them for storage and
00:23:52
moving on about his day oh that poor guy i bet this happens in a lot though yes you should knock
00:23:57
and be like, hey, I'm going to be doing this right now. How about your 90s parents with their awesome car phone let a 12-year-old know that maybe there's going to be a guy swinging by?
00:24:06
Can you let a 12-year-old know? How about you let a 12-year-old know? I think it was a few more years before my sister was comfortable enough to stay home alone.
00:24:14
Oh, my God. No, you're so safe. 27. Stay sexy and don't call the cops on maintenance men.
00:24:19
Erin. I'm a giddy. I'm going to blame this guy that he didn't knock and be like, hey, I'm going to be fucking around by your window right now.
00:24:27
True. but I would feel like if you see a van in the driveway they're not going to park in the driveway
00:24:32
or they are who the guy breaking in well but I mean don't you think if you work for an awning company
00:24:38
there was like Joe's awning company on the side of that van in some way what a great cover
00:24:42
there's no such thing as an awning company oh everybody relax it's the awning man
00:24:47
he's what he comes every year because we're rich and have a fucking cell phone in our car
00:24:52
okay these people getting your awnings removed what the hell you just hose them off every couple years right awnings who has awnings okay awning
00:25:03
this one's called drive-thru stories hello and welcome to my letter i'm sorry that's my number
00:25:10
one absolutely that's my current number one i worked at mcdonald's for several years during
00:25:15
high school and college most of the time spent taking orders and payment at the the first at the quote the first window Yeah Sadly most of these stories involve coffee obsessed seniors and creepy dudes grabbing at me But here are two gems
00:25:30
One, once while my manager was speaking to me about something at the drive through window, her whole demeanor changed as she noticed something going on in the line of cars.
00:25:38
In the car behind the one at my window, some dirtbag was punching the crap out of his girlfriend in the passenger seat.
00:25:44
While I stood there in shock, my badass manager leaned down to the driver at my window, calmly told him what just happened, and asked him to stay parked in the drive-thru until the police arrived.
00:25:54
Yes! This particular drive-thru lane went between the store and Embankment, so he would have been trapped in.
00:25:59
Yes. He agreed. She called the police, who were right around the corner, and the guy was arrested.
00:26:03
Hell yeah. I never found out what happened to the woman in the car, but I think about her a lot, and I hope we did her some good that day.
00:26:10
Aw. That's great. Number two. Me. Same drive-thru window. My middle school best friend's piece of shit ex-stepdad once drove through offering me, all caps, an ounce of weed a week.
00:26:21
If I would agree, all caps, not to testify about the time I found the Polaroid picture of his dick and balls.
00:26:30
It's spelled dick and balls. Dick and balls. He'd hidden in her room for her to find.
00:26:36
What? Okay. You're like, you're at the drive through. Let's count the problems. You like you know it a great day because fucking Big Macs are two for five Yeah That the best And it smells like fries all the time That right You that And offers you an ounce of weed a week like for life I guess But also sorry
00:26:54

00:26:59
It's not comedy, dude. It's true. I'm a pervert and I'm disgusting and a fucking.
00:27:03
Lunatic photographer. Child molester. Photographer. It's the photographer. It's the artist in him.
00:27:11
That's right. And then she says, probably the only time I've turned down weed in my life, y'all.
