00:01:36
it's all because of you that this is possible Captain let's continue the celebration the party goes on
00:01:44
let's hear the next stop on our countdown [Music] this is true crime garage and this is The Killing Fields trilogy
00:02:03
[Music] thank you [Music] Interstate 45 or I-45 is a Highway located entirely in the
00:02:58
state of Texas the interstate is just over 280 miles in length and connects two major U.S cities
00:03:06
Dallas and Houston from Houston the highway continues Southeast down to Galveston
00:03:13
there is a portion of I-45 that is known to Houston residents as the Gulf Freeway
00:03:19
a short elevated section of I-45 and Southern downtown Houston is known as Pierce elevated
00:03:26
and a 50-mile stretch of desolate land between Houston and Galveston is called the highway of hell
00:03:33
a mile from I-45 lies a 25-acre patch of land that borders the Calder oil field this is known to all as the Texas
00:03:43
Killing Field it is just rugged Wasteland but it is here that for decades the dead have
00:03:51
appeared starting in the early 1970s and to this day many bodies of murder victims have
00:03:58
been found within this area and the killing field many girls and young women have gone
00:04:04
missing several have never been found there are some similarities in these cases
00:04:10
all the victims are pretty young girls and women between the ages of 12 and 23. and most of the located victims were
00:04:18
found in or around water the Texas Killing Fields murders will involve three different counties and 12
00:04:25
different law enforcement agencies have worked these cases including the FBI despite exhaustive efforts very few of
00:04:33
these murders have been solved many officers say that the 50-mile stretch is the perfect Dumping Ground
00:04:40
for serial killers and the killing field has been described as a place that even
00:04:44
if you yelled no one would hear you and if you ran there wouldn't be anywhere to
00:04:49
go this is the perfect place for killing someone and getting away with it the disappearances abductions and
00:04:56
murders span over 30 years Welcome to The Killing Fields trilogy [Music] yeah 500 episodes and I've realized that Ohio
00:05:18
is one messed up place but so is Texas that's right that's when we took the flying garage shipped down to the great
00:05:26
state of Texas for the Texas Killing Fields episodes that was episode 132 from that trailer but that's the
00:05:34
start of the trilogy so 132 through 134. I love the music there and I love that guy that's reading because he's uh
00:05:45
sounds like a wonderful person sounds really smart I like the percussionists it sounds like he's playing the uh beer
00:05:51
bottle there which sounds to me like it's probably a 22 ounce or about half full
00:05:57
yeah he's the same guy that did the the voiceovers right for the Numbers number four the creepy guy that's hiding over
00:06:05
there that keeps he's staring at me with those dead black eyes he's hiding guess
00:06:10
where he's hiding the bottles you don't want to know you don't want to know a couple beer shout outs here
00:06:17
captain big shout out to Cheryl in West Columbia Texas and a shout out to Amy Beth and
00:06:22
Plymouth Michigan yeah b w r u n be around that's right if you want to help us fill up the beer fridge you go to
00:06:29
truecrime garage.com there's a little button there you can click on and it helps the show and you know what we
00:06:35
always say with the spillover we like to call it the spillover we like to help some of our friends out there in the
00:06:42
True Crime world in the True Crime world that is correct well we don't have any time for hesitation or masturbation so
00:06:51
let's get right into number foreign [Music] [Music] garage [Music] and this is the case of the boys on the
00:07:20
tracks [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] by all accounts the engineer did a masterful job of bringing his train to a
00:07:56
stop it had taken a screaming screeching half mile by the time the engine had shuttered to
00:08:04
a standstill conductor Jerry Tomlin was on the radio notifying an approaching train on a parallel track to stop
00:08:13
because some boys had been run over he had also called the dispatcher have you got injuries to dispatcher
00:08:23
asked no Tomlin said we've got death I'm sure we've got death they passed under us it has to be dead
00:08:40
and for all the True Crime garage super fans they know what that case is boys on the tracks the boys on the
00:08:51
tracks that's one of the cases that we receive probably the most praise for them yeah
00:08:57
but it's funny because people go hey I listen to JonBenet Ramsey six part episode great work even if they
00:09:05
don't agree with with what we uh or our thoughts on that case or Brian Shafer I love your coverage of that
00:09:15
but then we'll discuss it and I've had so many discussions about JonBenet Ramsey Brian Shafer
00:09:23
the Delphi murders so many other cases but boys on the tracks it's really just like boys on the track that was a great
00:09:33
job no discussion you're right doesn't seem to need any discussion and I think a lot
00:09:41
of that is that people appreciate that we are trying to right a wrong with this case and we do that with with many that
00:09:48
we present but we weren't the first ones to do it in fact we decided to cover this case for a multitude of reasons but
00:09:56
one back in the day it was one of my favorite episodes of Unsolved Mysteries and the segment that profiled the boys
00:10:04
on the tracks case at that time was known as the friends forever case because it is about the murders of Kevin
00:10:12
Ives and Don Henry both from Bryant Arkansas and the piece that I'm reading from there in the boys on the tracks
00:10:21
trailer we should point out that that is episode 93 that was a four-parter boys on the
00:10:29
tracks but the piece that I'm reading there Captain is from Mara leverett's 1999 book boys on the tracks death
00:10:37
denial and a mother's crusade to bring her son's Killers to Justice and in fact that book went on to win some awards and
00:10:46
rightfully so Mara Leverett is one of my favorite True Crime authors I find that
00:10:53
I think she's very underrated in the world of True Crime she's written the Devil's Knot and boys on the tracks
00:11:01
she's fantastic when it comes to there's probably nobody better when it comes to
00:11:07
writing about true crime in the state of Arkansas I like to give a beer shout out
00:11:11
to Christopher and New Market New Hampshire Christopher likes anything that's new that's why he lives in New
00:11:17
Market New Hampshire how about a shout out to Rosalie in Boston spa New York she likes things that are new as well
00:11:24
yeah but well yeah she prefers our York new but everything else she prefers old all right so should we get to number
00:11:32
three let's hit him with number three foreign [Music] foreign foreign [Music] defend us in our day of battle
00:12:23
protect us against the deceit and wickedness of the devil may God rebuke him we humbly pray
00:12:32
you Prince of the Heavenly Host by the power of God banish into hell Satan and all of the evil spirits who roam through
00:12:41
the world seeking the Rune of Souls St Michael is one of the principal angels his name was the war cry of the good
00:12:51
angels as he led them in the battle fought in heaven against those led by the dragon who was in fact the devil or
00:13:01
Satan the devil and his followers were defeated and they were thrown down to Earth
00:13:06
according to scripture Christian tradition gives to Saint Michael four offices be the champion of God's people
00:13:16
to fight against Satan to call away from Earth and bring men's souls to judgment
00:13:24
to rescue The Souls of the faithful from the power of the enemy especially at the
00:13:30
hour of death Tuesday March 3rd 1998 Monroe Wisconsin two men both priests are driving it's
00:13:40
about 8 30 PM father Alfred Coons the passenger is getting a ride home from his longtime friend and pal
00:13:48
father fiori a Dusty Wisconsin snow was falling fiori and Coons had a 70-mile drive ahead of
00:13:57
them taking them all the way to the Tiny Town of Dane Wisconsin with a population of
00:14:04
only about 700 hard-working and God-fearing people Dane was only a small blip on the big Wisconsin map
00:14:12
it was where father Alfred Coons had called home for many years and for many years he has loved and taken care of the
00:14:20
good people of Dane it was a beautiful night one of those clear March nights where the snowflakes
00:14:27
melt when they touch the pavement about halfway home father Coons became silent and then he started to clam up
00:14:35
fiori looked at his friend and said Al I you have been a good friend for so many years and I love you for that there
00:14:43
was a long pause and father Coons looked up there were large tears running down his
00:14:49
face and all he could say was I know I know around 10 pm that night the two priests
00:14:59
had arrived at St Michael's Church the destination for father Coons he got out of the car
00:15:05
father fiori rolled down the car window and shouted hey Al make sure you get yourself something to eat
00:15:12
I will Coons yelled back before heading inside and out of the cold most likely within an hour or two of
00:15:21
arriving home father Coons was startled a noise woke him from his sleep [Music] someone was in the building
00:15:30
a stranger stepped out of the cold night and into the church and home of Father Coons
00:15:36
but this part of the story is a mystery because we don't know the stranger's name and we cannot see the stranger's
00:15:44
face we can only wonder if father Coons knew the name or recognized the face regardless father Coons would have
00:15:52
greeted The Stranger with warmth and kindness how may I help you my child but the stranger was not seeking the
00:15:59
love of God the warmth of the church he only wanted one thing from father Coons The Stranger would greet Coons with
00:16:06
anger maybe an accusatory question a death threat or words of hatred The Stranger rushes the old priest and
00:16:15
attacks him forced to defend himself father Coons fights back as he is being hit
00:16:20
repeatedly after a long struggle The Stranger gets up and he pulls from his coat a knife father Coons grabs at the
00:16:29
blade with his bare hands trying to pry the knife from his assailant sadly he is
00:16:34
unsuccessful The Stranger put the blade to the side of Coon's neck and slits the throat of
00:16:40
the beloved father a stranger now covered in blood injured and probably cut stands up
00:16:46
and as he gathers himself he curses the priest then he steps back out into the cold night who was this stranger was he
00:16:55
a mentally ill Drifter or some sick twisted Satanist or was he someone the priest had trusted
00:17:02
this is true crime garage and this is the case of Father Alfred Coons [Music] yeah definitely a freaky one there
00:17:19
was like the nice children singing at the beginning and then it gets dark then it gets dark very dark real quick that
00:17:29
was a that was a case at first when you sometimes when we put the cases on the schedule and then you
00:17:36
look back at it you can't remember well why did we put it on the schedule and initially it didn't didn't seem like
00:17:43
there was much there or that would be that interesting and then also sudden two days into
00:17:50
research in a case like that you just get wrapped up into it yeah that was a weird case and probably one of the
00:17:57
Lesser known cases that's on our trailer countdown that we're featuring this week
00:18:03
that's the murder of father Alfred [ __ ] still unsolved 1998 case out of Dane Wisconsin and I think that would have
00:18:12
come to us by way of listener suggestion because I don't know that that's one that we would have found on our own I'm
00:18:19
with you Captain I can't recall where it came from but it was the same thing it's
00:18:22
like on the surface you go is there is there really a story here because it seems like kind of a random
00:18:30
misunderstood murder to the point where the the police and detectives have been out up front and honest thing we're not
00:18:36
even 100 sure what the motive here right was and then you start peeling back the layers and there's a
00:18:44
lot to the story and in fact I remember it was difficult to write the the trailer piece you know you putting
00:18:52
together the music and me putting together the words there and it was difficult to come up with
00:18:59
something for that story to lead us into that story and I relied on my one of my
00:19:06
favorite quotes there captain from Stephen King who said when all else fails give up and go to the library so I
00:19:14
remember writing a good majority of that case in that trailer at the local library
00:19:23
that is a fantastic trailer and actually it's one that is so good of course that
00:19:28
it made the top three of our top ten because we're so awesome but it's well I mean we're not talking about anybody
00:19:36
else's show here today if we did a top 10 countdown of other people's shows it would be it would be bizarre yeah but uh
00:19:44
it's old enough in our catalog that it's kind of it was almost forgotten by myself right like we're getting to the
00:19:53
point now where we've done so many cases in so many shows that I don't want to forget any of the victims I don't want
00:19:59
to forget any of the shows that we've done and so I worry about that and I fear that and when we were putting
00:20:05
together our list this was one that I remembered as soon as I saw the title and the title is the
00:20:13
devil did it and it's episode 126 so way back in the day yeah I tend to remember the earlier stuff because it's
00:20:22
when we tried things like look when you're reading your transcript every now and then a little double devil
00:20:32
voice comes in and we tried that for a couple of trailers and sometimes it works it really needs its right place
00:20:38
but it's like also like that was one of the first times that there was a separate piece of music
00:20:44
before the theme actually started um and so I kind of remembered those more but even like when people were at crime
00:20:54
con they'll go hey have you covered this case yet sometimes you go that sounds familiar
00:20:59
but you know we've done 500 episodes but think about the amount of cases we've looked into just to put on our our
00:21:07
Master list of cases to cover eventually yeah that's incredible when you when you
00:21:14
put it that way my mind starts racing because it's easily I mean five times the number of cases that we ended up
00:21:22
covering yeah 2500 cases I've probably read about in the last five years so that's a lot of kill kill
00:21:32
murder kill well and unfortunately yes that's exactly what it is but it's also got to the point now when we receive our
00:21:40
you know people email that's our preferred way to receive a case suggestion is to email it to us the the
00:21:46
blog is there and I love the people that that want to get a case out there and they say look I wasn't sure where to put
00:21:54
this so I'm just going to put this here on this week's blog that goes along with
00:21:58
this week's case so God bless you for putting it wherever wherever you can but if you get the opportunity we love to
00:22:05
receive them via email would love to have the blog continue hopefully the good conversation that you
00:22:11
and I put together for that week's case and everybody out there in listener land
00:22:16
it imparts unknown can expand on that and put in their own ideas their thoughts their theories too I love when
00:22:24
we cover an unsolved case and I get to hear a theory that we didn't present or an idea that's outside of the box
00:22:32
because those are the things thinking that way those are the things that will ultimately help get these things solved
00:22:40
definitely so just a quick recap at number 10 we had Son of Sam number nine we had Tupac Shakur
00:22:49
number eight we had West Memphis Three number seven ptk number six Unabomber number five Killing Fields
00:23:00
number four boys on the tracks number three the devil did it let's take a quick beer break and we'll
00:23:08
get to the top two trailers of True Crime garage [Music] foreign [Music] animals
00:23:38
[Music] [ __ ] why why are people party animals how did that happen have you ever seen a
00:23:58
group of animals together partying down I saw a guy on I think it was a tick tock video or something but
00:24:06
he had a muzzle on uh on a hyena oh and he had he had a hyena on like a dog leash oh he was trying to control it
00:24:17
walking down the street and it was like trying to attack people it's one of the scariest things I've
00:24:23
ever discovered I do not want to see that I'm I'm terrified that's one animal that I'm terrified of it and it's not
00:24:29
like uh it's not like a metal muzzle or anything it's like a like a makeshift muzzle like
00:24:36
yeah you can't just put a regular muzzle on that thing you need a souped-up muzzle I mean that's the one of the
00:24:42
creatures I'm terrified of I think it's partly because they're they're very vicious creatures yeah but you know like
00:24:48
but the in the cartoons they are they're always like laughing remember they like
00:24:52
do something bad yeah and then the hyenas they sit together and laugh about it afterwards so not only do you end up
00:24:58
being dinner but you are also the butt of all their jokes afterwards at least somebody's laughing at their jokes right
00:25:04
they're like oh the colonel was extra crispy today yeah thank God we got him on one of those extra crispy days
00:25:11
but his his legs look kind of like chicken legs got them chicken legs no but uh no but I like uh bulldogs and you
00:25:21
know like yeah and pit bulls and and they look like tough dogs and that's kind of what it looks like at
00:25:27
first but this neck is probably I don't know three four times the size and longer two
00:25:35
like yes like freakishly longer yeah it's it's scary what's the world coming to people were thinking that
00:25:44
we're leading up to our insanesville yeah yeah our insanesville trailer but that's not coming in at number two no
00:25:52
but not because we had a lawsuit we're not allowed to talk about in Zanesville anymore
00:25:57
uh poor Zanesville everybody kept on saying uh they caught in Zanesville the town of Zanesville sued the garage yeah
00:26:07
they could there's an undisclosed amount of money it wasn't much but they did win they did
00:26:12
win they didn't know but they just want they really want us to stop calling it in sainsville we paid them in Bush light
00:26:19
and we called it even there's a couple other names that Zanesville goes by um but I'm not allowed to because of the
00:26:27
lawsuit that's right we're sworn to secrecy we signed a non-disclosure agreement yeah some some crazy people
00:26:36
from Zanesville but what we can disclose is a big shout out to Thomas and Quarryville Pennsylvania
00:26:43
and Chelsea and Issaquah Washington yeah insane's kill is what other people call
00:26:51
it too uh so yeah Zayn's kill so you got insanesville and Zayn's kill and here comes another lawsuit number two lawsuit
00:27:01
number two number two I had to sit there with his bottles number two all right so should we get to it
00:27:12
number two foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] the following is a letter written and
00:27:58
sent from a Maryland prison you were always asking me about my murders well here is one that no one knows about
00:28:09
that's right pal I have never told anyone about this murder I never had to go far to find a victim
00:28:16
for most all truck stops across the U.S had [ __ ] working in and around them this is a story of a young prostitute I
00:28:25
killed in October of 1995. she was working the 76 Truck Stop in Reno Nevada I was driving a blue long-nosed
00:28:36
Peterbilt I was hooked up to a freezer trailer that's a trailer with a freezer I beat and raped that [ __ ] in the
00:28:46
sleeper of that truck that night until I grew tired of her then I put my hands on her neck and I
00:28:52
began squeezing her screams of pain slowly dwindled down to Mere rasp of agonizing Grunts and
00:29:00
groans the sound she made slowly faded away never to be heard again Sweet Death had finally come down upon
00:29:10
her now her body was just a dead carcass laying and wait for the decomposition to
00:29:16
start the breaking down of cells I laid there with my arms wrapped around her dead body and slept for about three
00:29:26
hours I woke up to my alarm clock going off at 5 30 A.M I climbed over her and I got dressed
00:29:37
I throwed a blanket over her then I started the truck up I got out of the truck locked the door
00:29:45
and headed over to the coffee shop to grab a bite and check the computer for loads heading east
00:29:53
the closest thing I saw available to me that I was looking for was a load of ranch house salad dressing they wanted
00:30:00
taken down to Houston Texas the company was located over in Sharps Nevada which is only about 25 miles north of
00:30:09
the truck stop I decided to accept the job I grabbed a coffee to go and off to the
00:30:16
truck I went I climbed up into the cab and checked everything out and off I go I got to the warehouse in Sharps they
00:30:26
had the load but there was no one there because it was Saturday morning the sign on the door said they were
00:30:33
opened up at 9am but it was only 7 45 AM so I looked around and there wasn't a damn soul in sight
00:30:43
there wasn't nothing around this little business park so I thought this would be a perfect place to ditch
00:30:50
her off I dragged her dead ass out of the truck I grabbed my little army shovel and off I went to the back of that
00:30:59
little Warehouse I found a nice isolated area back there I buried her in about 45 minutes
00:31:09
this Industrial Park wasn't very old so the ground was pretty soft and that's where she is to this day
00:31:18
it was not for another two bodies later that I would realize what a waste of all
00:31:23
that good meat was only ending up being nothing more than bug and worm food I have never Shed a Tear For Those I
00:31:32
have killed nor will I down the road those sweet young drug-addicted prostitutes that I killed back in my
00:31:39
past were pretty much dead to the world long before I killed them they were nothing more than walking
00:31:46
zombies looking for a few moments of pleasure from their sick twisted daily lives of
00:31:52
Shame I feel I've done those poor souls of favor if I feel anything for them I feel only
00:32:01
some jealousy for their pains are over and mine will continue as I sit Behind These Bars until the day
00:32:09
I die I have enclosed my tooth for you we never met but now you will always have a part of me with you
00:32:19
you take care be safe out there my best friend signed with a thumbprint pressed in
00:32:27
blood [Music] probably one of our most downloaded cases of all time and you know what Captain I actually
00:32:42
think that it's probably up there in the world of downloads because of your music
00:32:50
not necessarily the look it's it's a gross disgusting horrific letter that serial killer Joseph Metheny wrote
00:32:59
that we were 300 pound serial killer 500 pound serial killer is what we called him and that's because that's about the
00:33:06
because he's a fat ass well he you know he was a bigger guy when he got arrested
00:33:12
for his crimes but he grew he continued to grow and expand while in prison and he seemed to have a good time in prison
00:33:20
enjoying writing letters and becoming pen pals with people on the outside and that was just one of his many many
00:33:27
letters he was only convicted of two murders suspected of several more and he claims he's one of these dudes he lies
00:33:35
about large portions of his life right and so he claims to have killed several more people than just two but he was a a
00:33:45
monster that um it's one of those chicken or egg situations right where you go okay did the drugs that he became
00:33:53
addicted to did they do this to him or was he already evil before he started down that path and of course one will
00:34:01
never know but before he passed away in 2017 he was pretty close if not over the
00:34:07
500 pound Mark and if you want to see you think that trailer's scary the words that he says there if you want to Google
00:34:15
a picture of Joseph Metheny uh there's some scary pictures I'm just going to say that and you know he doesn't he just
00:34:23
it's hard to say that he even looks um fat he's just kind of a big dude he looks unhuman right he doesn't even look
00:34:32
to be human but yeah you're right this was one of our more downloaded episodes and I think a lot of it was
00:34:40
I mean look that that's some good music there at the beginning yeah after about people who don't know what the music
00:34:45
sounds like before they download the episode I think I think but I think it's a title I think 100 pound serial killer
00:34:52
how can you pass that up that's true you have to be you have to be a psychopathic
00:34:57
serial killer to pass up that title so maybe from now on every title is just the weight of 185 pounds here okay of
00:35:07
the convicted person and and followed by serial killer maybe that's what we do we're trying to have a successful show
00:35:18
after this conversation everybody's thinking to themselves if they can do it why can't I well you know what I I'm
00:35:27
thinking the same thing yeah hey hey I got a great idea we should start a podcast and by the way we've had a lot
00:35:34
of bourbon so I please please forgive us what's it called it's Angel's Envy which was one that was recommended To Us
00:35:43
by Bob ruff and um I thought it was anal's envy and I thought that didn't see this is what
00:35:52
happens all right a couple shout outs before we forget to do them yeah Jennifer in Raleigh North Carolina the
00:36:02
captain and crispy Colonel love North Carolina and then we have Buffy in Lake Charles see this is what's weird
00:36:09
about the the beer shout outs right when somebody is from a city you say that they are in right that so and so is in
00:36:17
but when the city name is Lake to say that they're in the lake well that raises some questions right so
00:36:27
we say Buffy from Lake Charles Louisiana yeah hey Buffy you're so fine you're so
00:36:34
fine you below my mind hey Buffy hopefully on the shores of Lake Charles yeah get in the tan it is so freaking
00:36:42
hot outside it's a humid you go outside it's thick it is thick it's thick humid all right so are we to number one
00:36:53
numero oh no is that where we find ourselves that I don't know where we find ourselves
00:37:02
where do you find yourself where do you find yourself and if somebody told me uh five years ago that
00:37:09
we would have hit 500 episodes I would have said nah not gonna happen I would have said maybe 200 300.
00:37:19
uh yeah once we reached the 50 Mark 200 seemed obtainable yeah 500 still seemed very well Out Of
00:37:28
Reach question for you then do you think we can do you think we'll hit another 500
00:37:35
so one of my favorite numbers and I hate to be one of that weird guy but I've had enough bourbon that I can
00:37:42
either remember which is three now one of my favorite numbers is 999 999. so I would like to get to that
00:37:51
point do you stop at that weird number or do you go to a thousand stop at that no I might stop halfway
00:37:59
through that episode oh just just get up at like you know you know that part where we come back from
00:38:06
the from the commercial and the captain goes all right and we're back cheers to everybody 30 minutes cheers and walk out
00:38:15
the garage but then I have to say and they never stop the crying I don't know where he went but I know
00:38:24
they'd never solve the crit all right here's our number one this is going to please and anger a lot of people all at
00:38:32
the same time [Music] thank you JonBenet Ramsey she was strangled with a cord that'll Miss Colorado
00:39:01
six-year-old murder victim JonBenet Ramsey unknown Intruder her brother [Music] [Applause]
00:39:12
[Music] JonBenet Ramsey [Applause] Phil was not interviewed the parents [Music] John Ramsey didn't do it anybody
00:39:28
[Music] my life has been held from that day forward and I want nothing more than to
00:39:40
find out who was responsible for this gives me the chills every single time every time hair standing up on the back
00:39:48
of my neck don't ask me why there's so much hair on the back of my neck yeah and but nowhere else just like on the
00:39:55
collar around me right uh yeah well but technically that was also a theme you're right so
00:40:04
the we we kind of broke our own count we found a screwed screwed it up because there were some trailers not in every
00:40:11
I'm going off a memory here not in every we did a six-parter JonBenet yeah and that was as the captain said
00:40:19
kind of the theme that started off every one of those six episodes and we started that with episode number
00:40:27
three five five and did that for almost the entire month of December yeah we always like to try to take off
00:40:39
around Christmas plus people get really busy with the holidays so it's hard for them to keep up I mean heck I mean we
00:40:46
put out so much content that I hear from listeners all the time it's hard to keep
00:40:51
up with you guys well in hearing Patsy Ramsey regardless of your feelings if she's guilty or
00:40:58
innocent hearing her in kudos to you Captain for taking those clips and piecing them and
00:41:05
putting them so perfectly into the music that you created but hearing Patsy Patsy Ramsey in there
00:41:12
really evokes a lot of emotion one way or the other just hearing her you know speaking or
00:41:20
crying out in regards to the the murder of of JonBenet yeah the thing too is like because that
00:41:29
that case to me and I'm sure you'll you will agree it seems like such a Christmas time case
00:41:38
yes you know not only that's when the murder took place but just also the pictures that you see leading up and and
00:41:47
afterwards and so using um little themes you know from Christmas I mean obviously like when you hear sleigh
00:41:57
bells makes you think of Christmas so to throw it throw in sleigh bells to use some themes from like Oh Holy Night
00:42:06
um use some choir sounds because that's also something that you hear more around
00:42:12
that time uh frame and just uh then once you start hearing those sound clips I'm going to say this and and maybe
00:42:23
listeners would agree Christmas songs become so familiar and so there's this uh Nostalgia every time
00:42:32
you hear one when you hear have yourself a mayor though Christmas it doesn't even
00:42:35
matter who's singing it doesn't matter if it's a old version a new version it's like there's Nostalgia there and now on
00:42:42
around Christmas time we start playing the same movies over and over the Christmas story and National Lampoon's
00:42:48
Christmas Vacation um so you start to see a home alone and they start playing those over and over
00:42:55
and over but what's interesting about a case as big as the JonBenet Ramsey case is almost all those clips that you hear
00:43:06
in the trailer or theme however you want to call it they're nostalgic now because they've
00:43:13
been a part of so many documentaries been part of so many nights researching a case like that where you hear those
00:43:22
clips over and over and over so it really kind of becomes a part of the your fabric of your past
00:43:30
well while we're talking about things that we you know reminisce on and things that we miss
00:43:36
and things that we want to hear more of a little piece in there too is Dan rather's voice yeah I missed Dan
00:43:44
rather's voice I loved you know I wasn't a news guy when I was a kid obviously or
00:43:50
or even as a young adult but well maybe maybe you were just a little bit and that's how you got the hair around your
00:43:56
neck right he was always there and he was always like the poster child of the news for me yeah and his voice is just I
00:44:06
mean he's got a beautiful voice and you always felt like you know what no matter what you know I have different
00:44:13
things that I could tune into different stations to go to but when Dan Rather was delivering a piece of information to
00:44:21
you it just felt like the gospel right it just felt like the like this guy could
00:44:27
could do no wrong could tell us no wrong and I I do miss me some I miss the fact
00:44:34
that the news used to be news and not a bunch of opinions there you go it used to be like we we're sharing this
00:44:40
information because we want you to be informed and we want all of our citizens to know what's going on and know the
00:44:47
truth uh so they can make informed decisions and become smarter people in society and we could all grow together
00:44:53
and now they want everybody fighting against everybody and they want they don't want anybody to
00:45:00
know the truth and uh you know hey don't sad times don't mention fighting too much with that weird guy that's in the
00:45:09
corner that did the the count he started pulling out one of the bottles he's getting he's getting a little weird
