My favorite murder Hello, hi. Hello. No, hello. Hello and hi. And greetings. And greetings and welcome.
00:01:49
And salutations. Goodbye. Later days, nerd. This is my favorite murder of the minisode.
00:01:57
Yep, where you write us shit and we read it back to you. You know how it goes. It's easy.
00:02:01
It's fun. Do you want to start? Okay. Do it. All right. So, of course, we got a bunch of Paul Holes stuff from last week.
00:02:09
Oh, hell yeah. And Golden State Killer stuff. Great. So, here's one called Paul Holes and Scary Druids.
00:02:17
Druids? Uh-huh. Okay. Druids. How are you after the Paul Holes episode, by the way?
00:02:23
Let's do a check-in. I mean, I'm a different person now. The world has been shook.
00:02:30
Hello there, Karen Georgia and Stanimals. I don't know what that means. Steven and animals?
00:02:36
Oh, that's funny. I don't know. My stepdad has been working for San Ramon and neighboring police forces since the mid-80s,
00:02:46
so naturally I've been asking a million questions since the Golden State Killer arrest.
00:02:50
I asked him if he had any experiences working the case because he was a detective at the time,
00:02:54
and he mentioned that he worked alongside Paul motherfucking Holes. Is that what they wrote?
00:02:59
All caps. Paul motherfucking Holes. Although he didn't have a personal experience with the Golden State Killer,
00:03:05
he did tell me a story about a cold case that he and Pauls worked on back in the day.
00:03:11
It all starts with a lady who was a druid or something like that and participated in animal sacrifices
00:03:15
and was on enough medication that she could probably fill up a bathtub with it. Um, her house had a creepy Adams family vibe to it.
00:03:24
And she had a son that lived in Southern California. One day after she hadn't been seen around for a week, a friend or family member went
00:03:33
to check on her and discovered her on the floor with her head bashed in. Whoa. I know.
00:03:37
My stepdad and Paul Holes were on the scene. Allegedly, someone beat her face in with a baseball bat, came back three days later
00:03:46
and placed urine on her, either poured on or peed on, and then sealed up the house completely.
00:03:54
Police dogs tracked a scent down to the BART station where they found a different bath that wasn't actually used.
00:03:59
Weird. She wrote only with strange code and a collection of journals, and once some were transcribed,
00:04:05
they learned that she thought a blue demon lived inside of her head and could only be eliminated if her head was smashed in completely after her death.
00:04:13
What? How have we never heard of this? She wrote that in her own diary. Okay. Her son was a major suspect, but was found in a bathtub in Southern California with his
00:04:24
wrists and neck cut open dead. Maybe a suicide pact? On his desk, a note titled, People Who Should Die, had his mom's name at the top.
00:04:37
Meanwhile, somewhere in her house, my stepdad discovered an addict, probably in her attic,
00:04:42
attic with around 100 dead rats in it. What? What in the fuck? He found it because there was blood dripping from the ceiling.
00:04:52
After being in that room, my stepdad contracted a rare disease called Q fever and almost died because the doctors tested for everything else
00:05:00
before testing for that. Wait, is the subject line of this email lies and more lies?
00:05:05
I don't know, man. I think it checks out. This is intense. Guess what? Paul's here.
00:05:10
he just comes out of the closet just continual surprise oh my god he just comes in every episode
00:05:18
i just end up having a nervous breakdown um to this day it's unsure exactly how he contracted
00:05:24
the fever but my guess was exposure to that nasty shit paul yeah a pile of fucking rats yeah you
00:05:29
breathe that shit in you know you lick them a couple of them just to see if they're real
00:05:33
it's they're made of cocaine uh paul holes tracked down what must have been the type of
00:05:38
bat used and where it was probably purchased, which is insane. My stepdad recalls how efficient and thorough Paul was as a criminologist and detective.
00:05:47
He said that Paul dedicated 100% of himself to every case and wasn't in it for the glory
00:05:52
like some detectives are. Well they not half as beautiful so they have to work half as They need things in other areas Exactly So that my whole story I believe the last name of the lady is bodfish or something like that
00:06:05
If you want to check it out. Yeah, I do. And throwing down. Also, I recently got an SSD GM tattoo with a dagger and a rose on my arm.
00:06:13
And so many murderinos have approached me telling me to remain attractive slash avoid assassination and whatnot.
00:06:18
And it feels like we're all in a secret society. Hope you enjoyed the story and never,
00:06:22
ever associate with the Druids. nobody that sacrifices animals should be trusted.
00:06:26
Ethan. That email had everything. And it felt like we were gossiping about Paul holes,
00:06:34
but in a positive way. Right. That was like, it's, it was like a Facebook stock except for just jobs,
00:06:42
strictly job congratulatory. Yeah. I mean, what else is there? Yeah. If someone sends us an email and was like,
00:06:48
Oh, I have a negative thing to tell you about Paul holes. Burn it. We don't want to track that person down and be like,
00:06:53
Like, never again. You don't get email anymore. Okay, so let's see. This is, the subject line of this one is,
00:07:03
my mom was almost a golden state. Wait. Sorry, Stephen. She was almost a golden state what?
00:07:10
What's it going to be? Killer? A golden. My mom was almost a golden state killer victim.
00:07:16
Okay. Hello, all. Lots to get to. So going to get right into it. My mom was a Sacramento County dispatcher in the 80s, and my dad had been a Sacramento
00:07:26
County Sheriff's deputy since the 70s. Naturally, I grew up hearing cautionary tales and straight tales of horror from my mom about
00:07:34
the calls she received. Love it. Quote, if you ever see a child with an adult and think or even feel uncomfortable about
00:07:40
their situation, immediately tell someone who can help. And, quote, I will never forget the empty sound at the end of the phone line after that
00:07:50
gunshot. end quote i'll include those stories below but basically real inappropriate stuff for an eight
00:07:56
year old but i was intrigued jesus christ lately i've been asking her to rehash some of those
00:08:01
stories and to tell me more when the golden state killer news came out we both flipped both before
00:08:06
my mom started work as a dispatcher during the east area rapist active period in sacramento she
00:08:12
had lived right there in east sac and while we were talking about the gsk case details she said
00:08:18
that thinking back, she had gotten two creepy phone calls, like heavy breathing, quote, I'm
00:08:23
going to kill you phone calls. No joke. The man on the other end of the line said, I'm going to kill you and did a gross murdery
00:08:29
chuckle. And the first phone call she thought was a prank from her friend, Charlie.
00:08:34
So she just laughed it off. Personally, I think any friend who called me jokingly to say they'd kill me as a real
00:08:40
shithead. Yeah, it's not that cool. The second call came a few days later and started off with the same.
00:08:46
I'm going to kill you. My mom said, all right, Charlie, is that you? But the man said, how did you like Sunrise Lanes?
00:08:52
The bowling alley that my mom and her boyfriend, my dad, had just been to for their bowling league.
00:08:59
And also, that's the first bowling alley I ever bowled at. No. Yes. It was a way we cut school and decided to go bowling.
00:09:07
And I had a nervous breakdown because we got stoned first. And then when I stepped up onto the bowling lane to throw the ball, it felt like a small stage.
00:09:15
like the background part was all yeah yeah like there was a spotlight where i was bowling and
00:09:19
it was dark behind me and i got super self-conscious and then i wouldn't bowl and all my friends got
00:09:24
mad at me that's just a quick sidebar and also the golden stick killer used to hang out there
00:09:29
that's whatever he was there that day i think it was sunrise lane i thought it was there anyway
00:09:34
anyway okay so he asked her how she enjoyed sunrise lines he she said uh i enjoyed it and
00:09:41
then he went back to I'm going to kill you or something at which point my mom was creeped out
00:09:45
but mostly fed up and she said okay you know I'm not going to do this I'm dating a sheriff's deputy
00:09:50
so you better leave me alone and then hung up holy shit the call stopped and my mom lived on
00:09:55
lived on to give birth to me so I could tell you about it thanks for being you and my mom and I will
00:10:01
see you in Sacramento yes oh my god nice one Liz can you imagine if you're okay so let's pretend
00:10:07
for a minute you're a fucking psychic psycho murderer and you're calling around to scare women
00:10:12
and they're like fuck you and hang up yeah or they don't think it's you and you have to somehow
00:10:17
convince them it's you right no it's char it's not charlie it's david i'm the murderer oh shit
00:10:22
yes that's so it just really snaps that whole vibe in half when it's like i'm gonna kill you
00:10:28
and it's like shut the fuck up david i bet you are david you idiot i'm gonna kill you first
00:10:33
because I'm behind you. Okay, well, how about this one? I live in the Visalia Ransacker murder house.
00:10:44
What? Karen, Georgia, Stephen, and Pets. This is the craziest fucking thing that has ever happened to me.
00:10:50
Back in August, we moved from the Chicago suburbs to Visalia, California, so my boyfriend could start teaching
00:10:55
at College of Sequoias. My parents, the parents of our good friend from here had just bought this awesome house as a rental property
00:11:03
right before we were moving, so we jumped at the chance to move in. Flash forward to the Golden State
00:11:07
killer news breaking. Local news reporters started knocking on our door and talking
00:11:11
to our neighbors. I was at work, but my neighbor texted me and sent me a news article and informed me that the reporter
00:11:17
just told them that our house, the house I was fucking living in, is the house that Claude Snelling owned
00:11:23
and was murdered in. We had no idea about it, and our landlords had no idea about it. Apparently
00:11:29
that I only have to tell you if something like this has happened, if it was the past
00:11:33
three years, unless you ask, which of course we're all going to be like, did anyone get murdered here? Three years is no time at all.
00:11:42
It's like, that needs to be 10 or 15 years minimum. Three years? If it's murder, especially when it's unsolved, I want to know where I'm moving
00:11:54
into it You know what I mean Yeah So this house has a meaning to a murderer that still out there Yes And he may have dropped some stuff You might want to hunt around for stuff he might come back for
00:12:06
The telephone number's the same, so he might call. Don't ask if he's Charlie. He gets really angry.
00:12:12
And there's a civic order that you're not allowed to put locks on any of the doors.
00:12:15
Right. Sorry. Goodbye. Goodbye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye-bye-bye. Da-da-da-da-da. Okay. Da-da-da-da-da.
00:12:23
My favorite thing. So good. Can I just tell you, sorry, but there's just, if you don't know, somebody did a mashup of Georgia doing da-da-da-da-da.
00:12:31
Let me give it, let me play it. No, let me just say his name because it's so funny.
00:12:35
Okay, yeah. Full credit because it made me laugh. I listened to this. It's Georgia getting mashed up into the beginning.
00:12:42
Should I play it? Could you? His name's Good Dog. It's at scrub underscore lover.
00:12:49
And it's just. Scrub lover, you nailed it so hard. Okay, I listened to it like four times.
00:12:55
And then like the fifth time I was listening, I was standing in my backyard listening to it.
00:13:00
And on the second one, when you go up high, I did a spit take alone in my backyard.
00:13:05
I spit my coffee across the backyard. It's just so surreal. It's really delightful.
00:13:11
Also, I wonder, we should check and make sure we're not going to get sued for playing that much of that song.
00:13:16
I was actually waiting for you to say something like that because I don't care, but I know you're up on that shit.
00:13:21
Well, I'm up on it in a weird TV way, but I mean... You know what? We'll take it down.
00:13:27
Okay. I mean, I think if it's less than 30 seconds, it's fine. Are you sure it's 30?
00:13:31
I heard it was 30. Okay. But I'll double check. Well, Stephen, this is going to come out of your bank account.
00:13:35
That's right. Okay. Your mustache funds. It's going to come right out of that. Goodbye, mustache grooming.
00:13:43
So yeah, I've been freaking out for the last two weeks, and I've finally been able to tell you guys about it.
00:13:47
Oh, and there's an extra level of weird because Snelling was a COS professor, College of Sequoia's professor.
00:13:53
And that's where my boyfriend also teaches. I've always kind of wanted to live in a murder house, but I always assumed I would know about it before I moved in.
00:14:00
Not after. SSDGM, Michelle. Well, and also that one's very sad. It was a man trying to protect his daughter.
00:14:07
From being kidnapped. From like the creepiest of creeps. Who was not caught until fucking a couple months ago.
00:14:14
Oh, man. It's so awful. It's so crazy. So I might start house hunting soon. First question when I walk through the door, that's immediately going to be like, let's not sell her the house is, did someone die here?
00:14:25
Yes. Someone killed here. Right. Okay. That's very smart. So I'm never going to buy a house because they're going to be like, that girl's scary.
00:14:33
What if you were like, did someone die here four years ago? What if instead I just walk in and then open my eyes and go, someone died here.
00:14:43
And then they'll go, no. I'm like, oh, okay, never mind. That's such a good way to do it.
00:14:47
Like pretend you're psychic and just be like, pretend that you're trying to touch the air
00:14:51
around you and like let your eyes roll back in your head. And then you're like, someone died here.
00:14:56
And they're like, ma'am, are you okay? And then you're like, okay. If they didn't immediately admit it.
00:15:00
If they don't go, how did you know that? How did you know? Right, right, right, right.
00:15:03
Okay, cool. Okay, it's the perfect plan. Okay. Are you ready for this? Nothing could go wrong.
00:15:06
Nothing. This is going to turn out great. Right. Yes. This is Golden State Killer Connection forward slash Angel Dust never helps.
00:15:14
Oh, dear. Okay. Doesn't it? Dear, we'll find out. Dear Karen, Georgia, Stephen, kitties and puppies.
00:15:20
So the first story is a quick one. My very badass aunt used to work for the FBI in the DNA lab when I was younger.
00:15:27
Right. So good. Ants. Gotta love a badass aunt. When I was younger, we had some really awesome, quote, behind the scenes tours in the FBI of the FBI in D.C.
00:15:37
And there may even be a very unfortunate picture of our family holding Tommy guns from the FBI collection.
00:15:43
in all our 80s glory. Never a good look. Oh, I'd love to see it. Anyway, the day the Golden State Killer was arrested,
00:15:51
I called her to talk about how exciting this was, and she reminded me that when she was at the FBI,
00:15:57
this was her case. And she compiled and ran all the DNA evidence at the federal level.
00:16:02
Oh, my God. So she was on an HLN special about it a few years back. She tried to find the episode on YouTube, but couldn't.
00:16:10
and her first television appearance during her time at the FBI. So in a way, even though it took way too long,
00:16:17
I like to think, and so does she, that she helped catch that fucker. Sorry, alleged fucker.
00:16:22
No, he's a fucker. He is a fucker. So for my actual hometown murder, not actually a murder,
00:16:29
I grew up in Sacramento, represent, all caps. I thought you were saying that. I'm like, this is how it reads.
00:16:36
Sacramento, represent, in all caps, and then long dash. Nope, that didn't feel right.
00:16:43
You know what? I feel like I now should say I do have a very tender place in my heart for seconds.
00:16:50
That's why the feelings are so extreme. Right. I don't for Orange County, so I get to understand yours.
00:16:57
Okay. I guess because so many bad things happen there that I almost have to love it.
00:17:04
Okay. And we lived in a pretty quiet neighborhood. When I was in first grade, I hated sleeping in my room, and I loved to sneak out in the middle of the night to sleep on the couch in the living room.
00:17:14
My parents hated it, but I was just doing me. So one night, I'm fast asleep on the couch, and I'm awakened by a huge commotion.
00:17:22
It ended up being the police trying to get into our backyard. It turns out that this guy had tried to rob our neighbor's house.
00:17:28
Unfortunately, the neighbors were home and caught him in the act. Luckily, the neighbors were not murdered, but the would-be robber instead decided to try to run away,
00:17:39
stripping his clothes off as he crossed the street and jumped into our backyard.
00:17:44
Thanks, Angel Dust. The police were called and found him hiding under our grapefruit tree.
00:17:49
The best part of the story though was that the police officers came to the door after arresting the guy waking my parents And after the police explained what happened they eventually left that was when my parents turned away from the door and both screamed as they found me standing behind them quietly taking in everything that the police said oh my god i guess my love of true crime started
00:18:10
that very night oh that's cute needless to say i was never allowed to sneak out onto the couch
00:18:15
again lots of love joshua that's just thinking how funny it would have been if they turn around
00:18:20
he had also stripped down naked. And he's like, I too love Angel Dust. That sounds like a great idea.
00:18:28
Oh my God. That's so funny. I love it. While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup this summer,
00:18:35
Hyundai has its eyes on the next generation of talent. The future soccer stars who are already turning heads at age 14.
00:18:41
Making plays that end up on everyone's feed, scoring from angles that don't make sense,
00:18:45
rewriting record books that barely had time to gather dust. Because Next doesn't wait for an invitation and Hyundai doesn't either.
00:18:51
Hyundai has always moved the future within reach. Hyundai did it by making advanced safety standard on every vehicle.
00:18:57
Hyundai did it by engineering EVs with ultra fast charging capability. And Hyundai continues doing it every day.
00:19:04
From robotics that change how people live to young athletes changing the game, the future isn't some far off concept.
00:19:10
It's already here. Next starts now. Hyundai, an official partner of FIFA. Goodbye.

00:21:39

00:21:46
couple not so much yes okay hello karen georgia stephen and furry friends i grew up in a suburb
00:21:52
of Seattle in the same house until I was 18. Starting when I was around five years old,
00:21:57
my family developed a close relationship with our next door neighbors, an old couple named
00:22:01
Alice Asterick and Henry Asterick. I'm sure this somewhere says not their real names.
00:22:08
What if it just says real names? Real names with Astericks. They'd been married for 65 years,
00:22:14
lived in our neighborhood for 50 years and had raised four children. Our family had dinners
00:22:18
with this couple every week. They babysat me and my brother when my parents were working.
00:22:23
And we would cat sit for them when they went to visit their adult children. Fast forward to spring of my junior year of high school.
00:22:29
Our weekly dinner comes along. Only Henry comes. When we ask where Alice is, he says that she was sick.
00:22:35
The family shrugged it off. People get sick, you know. And continued on as usual.
00:22:40
Over the next few days, I noticed I hadn't seen Alice. As usually, I saw her working in the garden,
00:22:45
knitting on a porch, etc. I, as well as my whole family, assumed that she was really sick and staying inside to recover.
00:22:52
Three days after our solo dinner with Henry, I arrived home from school to find our entire street sectioned off with roadblocks and a group of police cars, lights flashing and everything surrounding our neighbor's house.
00:23:03
It turns out Henry had murdered Alice with an axe while she was sleeping four days prior and hid her body under their bed.
00:23:10
this was a huge shock to our community and especially my family considering that the day
00:23:15
after he murdered alice he came to our house dinner like nothing happened oh my god the
00:23:20
following days were filled with lots of police questioning candlelight vigils and the depressing
00:23:24
return of henry and alice's children to the empty house that's so horrible even though his this was
00:23:30
six years ago i still get shivers when i think about that dinner that night and how seemingly
00:23:35
this seemingly happy marriage could end in such a brutal way. Pretty soon after this event, my family moved to a different neighborhood and I went away to college.
00:23:43
But I'll never forget Sidney Axe to a murderer at dinner. RIP Alice. Stay sexy. Don't get murdered, Andrea.
00:23:49
I wonder how old he is. Maybe he had dementia or something like that. That's what I was thinking. Or some kind of a brain change in some way that made him do this.
00:24:00
you know six years ago is not that long ago no i was thinking this was like in the fucking 90s
00:24:05
no it's crazy all right let's do funny mom fucks with me stories okay hi georgia karen steven and
00:24:13
pets i love the show and i'm glad i have a reason to write my mom has a dark sense of humor as does
00:24:17
my uncle her brother here are some of the funniest things they lied to me about as a child
00:24:21
when i got sick in a prominent lymph node when i got sick a prominent lymph node on my neck would
00:24:29
swell up and my uncle and mom called it a roving parasite not telling me that it was completely
00:24:35
normal causing me to think i had a parasite living inside of me they would frequently ask
00:24:40
how my parasite was doing at family functions which would freak me out fucking love it when
00:24:45
we went to the beach in md maryland yeah uh we saw dolphins once and i got really excited my mom
00:24:52
and uncle told me they were mechanical dolphins that were sent out every day to draw visitors to
00:24:57
the beach. I only found out this story was false when I was around 20. When I repeated it to my
00:25:06
friends at the beach, and they all looked at me like I was crazy. You are crazy. I love it. Anyway,
00:25:12
mom admitted these lies and more once I called her out. She thought it was hilarious. Stay sexy
00:25:17
and don't believe everything mom says Suzanne. Oh, my God. That's awesome. The shit I believe,
00:25:23
man well and also you can just picture it's like moms that are sick of talking to children it's like
00:25:29
you have to talk to these children all day long they're constantly asking you questions you're
00:25:33
just trying to have a good time right you're just trying to give yourself a moment of fucking joy
00:25:37
and probably that mom and her brother got kind of high at the beach oh my god they totally did
00:25:44
don you think that was an element of it i recently had one marty might get mad about this But I as far as I knew I and this was like a cautionary tale Like my dad did LSD in high school because someone slipped it in like a fucking sugar cube in his coffee And my dad got
00:26:02
dosed and he didn't know. And he like freaked out. And then I told, I said that to my mom
00:26:05
recently and she was like, he didn't get dosed. And I was like, of course he didn't. He took it
00:26:12
himself. He was trying to like warn you off of acid, warn me off of acid, but also tell me that
00:26:19
he was on he's done acid without having to admit that he'd done it. He had chosen to do. Yeah,
00:26:23
like he did have a bad trip. But he also didn't want to be like, I took it and had a bad trip.
00:26:27
Well, and also, it's like that rang untrue to me. A high school student having a cup of coffee with
00:26:34
a cube of sugar in it is just not why I just don't buy that. No, it was like a there was like
00:26:40
Los Angeles in the 60s. They were all smokers and coffee drinkers. Oh, I guess that's right.
00:26:47
He's in the fan cult. I'm going to text him tonight and see if I can leave this in.
00:26:51
So make sure you go in and ask him about it on the forum. That was the best. Oh, my God.
00:26:58
The people that run the forum were telling us that the day Marty signed up and he was just like, hello, is this working?
00:27:04
Test, test, test. And everyone's like, yeah, Marty. because you just said to them I think my dad signed up for the fan and they were like yep he
00:27:12
did it yeah he's he did it and I just want to say I would have given him a free pass but he told me
00:27:17
