00:04:10
sent from a Maryland prison you are always asking me about my murders well here is one that no one
00:04:20
knows about that's right pal I have never told anyone about this murder I never had to go far to find a victim for
00:04:29
most all truck stops across the US had [ __ ] working in and around them this is a story of a young prostitute I
00:04:38
killed in October of 1995 she was working the 76 Truck Stop in Reno Nevada I was driving a blue long-nosed
00:04:49
Peterbilt I was hooked up to a freezer trailer that's a trailer with a freezer I beat and raped that [ __ ] in
00:04:58
the sleeper of that truck uck that night until I grew tired of her then I put my hands on her neck and
00:05:05
I began squeezing her screams of pain slowly dwindled down to Mere rasp of agonizing
00:05:11
Grunts and groans the sound she made slowly faded away never to be heard again Sweet Death
00:05:21
had finally come down upon her now her body was just a dead carcass laying in wait for the decomposition to start the
00:05:29
breaking down of cells I laid there with my arms wrapped around her dead body and slept for about
00:05:38
3 hours I woke up to my alarm clock going off at 5:30 a.m. I climbed over her and I got
00:05:49
dressed I throwed a blanket over her then I started the truck up I got out of the truck locked the door and headed
00:05:58
over to the car coffee shop to grab a bite and check the computer for loads heading
00:06:04
east the closest thing I saw available to me that I was looking for was a load of ranch house salad dressing they
00:06:12
wanted taken down to Houston Texas the company was located over in Sharps Nevada which is only about 25 Mi
00:06:21
north of the truck stop I decided to accept the job I grabbed a coffee to go and off to
00:06:29
the truck TR I went I climbed up into the cab and checked everything out and off I
00:06:36
go I got to the warehouse and Sharps that had the load but there was no one there because it was Saturday
00:06:43
morning the sign on the door said they were opened up at 9:00 a.m. but it was only 7:45
00:06:50
a.m. so I looked around and there wasn't a damn soul in sight there wasn't nothing around this
00:06:57
little business park so I thought this would be a perfect place to ditch her off I dragged her dead ass out of the
00:07:07
truck I grabbed my little army shovel and off I went to the back of that little Warehouse I found a nice isolated area
00:07:16
back there I buried her in about 45 minutes this Industrial Park wasn't very old so the ground was pretty soft and
00:07:27
that's where she is to this day it was not for another two bodies later that I would realize what a waste of all
00:07:36
that good meat was only ending up being nothing more than bug and worm food I have never Shed a Tear For Those
00:07:44
I have killed nor will I down the road those sweet young drug addicted prostitutes that I killed back in my
00:07:52
past were pretty much dead to the world long before I killed them they were nothing more than walking
00:07:59
zombies looking for a few moments of pleasure from their sick twisted daily lives of
00:08:06
shame I feel I've done those poor souls a favor if I feel anything for them I feel only some jealousy for their pains
00:08:16
are over and mine will continue as I sit Behind These Bars until the day I die I have enclosed my tooth for you we
00:08:27
never met but now you will always have a part of me with you you take care be safe out there my
00:08:34
best friend signed with a thumb print Preston [Music] [Music] blood December 8th 1996 Baltimore
00:08:56
Maryland and Captain while I would consider the great state of Maryland to be a beautiful beautiful state and
00:09:02
Baltimore to be a beautiful city as well well I would not consider the couple of
00:09:07
city blocks where our story starts off to be anywhere near beautiful shout out to Rockville
00:09:13
Maryland this is a dingy undesirable couple of city blocks on the City Southwest Side back in December of 1996
00:09:22
Joe methany is 46 years old he's about 6'1 in tall and almost 300 lb so we're talking about a pretty big guy
00:09:32
here big boy on the night of the eth he met a woman by the name of Rita keer who
00:09:37
is 37 years old he met her at the borderline bar now Joe is at this bar nearly every night drinking beer in
00:09:46
Southern Comfort the bar is right by where Joe methany Works Joe works for the Joe Stein and Sun Pallet Company M
00:09:55
for those of you that may not know pallets are those wood skids manufactur Ed primarily for stacking cargo when
00:10:01
loading you know onto semi-rs or trains anyway not only does Joe worked there but he is living there so I'll I'll
00:10:11
explain Joe is a forklift operator at the Joe Stein and Sun Pallet company he's a forklift operator by day but by
00:10:19
night he is a night Watchman Joe is a well let's say he's a very persuasive personality he's outgoing he's quite the
00:10:28
talker so my guess is Joe had nowhere to live and he cut a deal with his boss you
00:10:33
know you need someone to watch this place at night and I work here during the day you know me you trust me so they
00:10:40
work out this deal I think they only paid him an additional $20 a week for his night Watchman duties right but he
00:10:47
got to stay there and sleep there at night the Joe Stein and Sun Pallet company is located at 3200 James Street
00:10:56
which is in the southwest corner of the city of Baltimore the company is situated on a lot which is adjacent to a
00:11:02
wooded area the company has a locked entrance gate and is surrounded by an 8T High chain link fence with barbed wire
00:11:11
on top the lot is approximately the size of a city a square City Block there is a
00:11:19
warehouse and an office building there that is surrounded by literally thousands of wooden pallets which are
00:11:26
stacked at varying Heights throughout the lot there is no business conducted at this company or surrounding companies
00:11:32
during the evening hours James Street is a deadend street where there is very little to no pedestrian traffic Joe
00:11:42
lived in a small one room trailer located on the South fence the nearest residential development to The Pallet
00:11:49
company is approximately two blocks away on this particular night apparently his
00:11:54
Watchman duties included inviting Rita keer back to his Trail from the bar yes Rita had joined Joe at
00:12:03
the trailer on at least one other occasion now I don't know the particulars of that visit but I do know
00:12:09
the particulars of this one and it goes like this Joe invited Rita back to join him at the trailer with the promise of
00:12:15
drinks and cocaine well at some point Joe starts attacking Rita she manages to get out of the trailer she raced towards
00:12:26
the front gate but Joe is chasing after her Rita keer reached the gate but it was locked when she turned around to
00:12:34
look for another way out Joe had caught up to her mhm and he punched her his big
00:12:40
fat fist smashing into her jaw rendering her unconscious Joe then dragged her back into the trailer by her hair once
00:12:49
Joe had Rita back in the trailer he pinned her down which is probably pretty easy for him once he got on top of her
00:12:57
to hold her down I mean he's almost 300 lb at this time I don't know the size of
00:13:02
this poor woman but I'm guessing she's outsized by quite a bit once pinned down Joe starts pulling down Rita's jeans she
00:13:11
starts screaming Joe yells at her um and she's yelling at Joe but Joe's not terribly worried about the screams
00:13:19
because where this is located where the trailer is located this lot it's it's likely that not anyone would hear her
00:13:27
especially at this hour of night I mean like you said there's no pedestrians walking by correct and there's no
00:13:34
business being conducted in this area at this hour Rita begs Joe to stop attacking her he ignores her she starts
00:13:41
praying out loud and Joe's reaction to this well he he finds this to be funny then Joe tells Rita that he's going to
00:13:50
rape her and when he's done he's going to kill her and once she is dead he is going to bury her in the woods with the
00:13:57
other girls Rita keer decides that she is not going to die not that night not by the hands of this loser well she
00:14:05
started kicking and she kicked her legs out of her pants remember he was trying to pull the pants off right and he she
00:14:12
rolled underneath of Joe as he was trying to keep her pinned down this rolling allows her to break free now
00:14:20
she's on her feet and she's sprinting out of the trailer and looking for a way out of the fenced in yard now Joe is up
00:14:29
and he's running after her and he still got her pants in his hand Rita ran toward one of several large stacks of
00:14:38
pallets now there are hundreds of course of these pallets there are probably you
00:14:43
know piles and stacks of these things all along the fences Rita starts climbing one of these Stacks Joe runs up
00:14:51
to the stack she's climbing and he's trying to grab her as she continues to climb I mean this is like a scene out of
00:14:57
a horror movie Rita feels Joe's hand nearly grab her ankle she gets to the top of the stack and she leaps jumping
00:15:06
over the top of the fence she slams to the ground but thankfully on the other side of the fence from Joe methany she
00:15:15
gets back on her feet and runs down the hill screaming and waving her hands she's trying to flag down a vehicle then
00:15:22
she sees the lights of an approaching car am I wrong I mean that's like the ending of the First Texas Chainsaw
00:15:30
Massacre right waving down a vehicle yeah yeah yeah I mean you have this woman who it seems like if you if you
00:15:38
looked in on this area it would feel like there was nothing around this trailer and nothing around this fenced
00:15:44
in palet yard yeah she's basically trapped with inside that fence figuring out this masterful way to get out
00:15:51
leaping over the fence and now she's free but she's still got this Maniac inside the fence trying to get to her
00:15:58
yeah and you just wanted a little bananas and blow and uh now you're jumping over fences well she's outside
00:16:04
the fence she's trying to flag down a car she sees a car this car starts to slow down and to her surprise it's a
00:16:11
police officer she tells the officer what had just happened and how she was attacked and how Joe had told her that
00:16:20
he was going to rape and kill her the officer drives up the hill and around to the front of the gate Joe is in inside
00:16:28
the fence near the gate and in his hands he still has a hold of Rita's pants the
00:16:35
officer orders Joe out and into his car Joe spent the night in jail and he was going to be charged with assault
00:16:44
kidnapping and attempted rape but the thing here is though Captain they didn't hold him long he was not going to have
00:16:52
to stay in jail for very long to wait for the trial right and and and he also knows where his victim
00:16:59
you know goes to hang out he knows probably her friends maybe knows where she lives yeah and I I I'm guessing she
00:17:06
won't be returning to the borderline bar anytime soon especially with him being out so they well I'm pointing out that
00:17:13
the police are not protecting her right and they end up releasing him it's just a day or two after this attack so when
00:17:22
Joe gets out guess where he is Captain goes to the bar that's right he's right back at the borderline bar sitting on a
00:17:28
stool drinking Southern Comfort and beer telling jokes now not too long after being released from jail Joe is back at
00:17:36
the bar and on this particular night he's hanging out with a guy named William Ashbrook Jr now William works
00:17:44
with Joe at The Pallet company they are at the borderline bar most of the night boozing it up Joe invites William back
00:17:52
to the trailer just to be clear there's no crime or shame in that and boozing it
00:17:58
up with with your buddy from The Pallet Company no I mean just being out a bar and boozing it up right right so Joe
00:18:05
invites William back to the trailer they get to the trailer and they start snorting cocaine that's a crime okay
00:18:13
thanks for the clarification let you know and after a few snorts Joe asked William for a favor sorry Joe go ahead
00:18:23
no almost choked on my beer Joe tells William that he needs it's in the line after a few lines not after a few snorts
00:18:34
few snorts we're CH we're changing the lingo after a few snorts continue yeah Joe asked William William for a favor he
00:18:43
wants help moving a body and he thinks maybe William would help him with this William thinks Joe is messing around
00:18:51
with him he doesn't believe Joe so Joe then takes William into the woods and Joe starts pushing away debris and trash
00:19:00
and underneath this debris and trash sure enough there is a rotting nude body of a dead woman William tells Joe that
00:19:09
he's going to vomit and that he's not going to help him move the body yeah he does offer to go get more
00:19:19
cocaine yeah and I I wonder when he's saying hey look I'm going to puke I can't help you I wonder what Joe's
00:19:26
demeanor was at this time was he getting angry at him did he sense you know did he feel threatened like if I don't help
00:19:33
him is he going to attack me yeah yeah it makes you wonder and I I almost feel like we have Joe methany at this point
00:19:40
that's got probably so much beer and Southern Comfort and cocaine in him he might even be very casual about this
00:19:47
whole thing yeah hey you you want to go help me move this body well I like this little escape plan
00:19:57
that that William has here he's like I'm not going to help you move the body but
00:20:00
I'll go get some more cocaine for the both of us yeah well with this he leaves and he does not come back that night the
00:20:07
next day I'm not sure if this is at work remember they worked together or if this
00:20:12
was at the bar after work but William asked Joe about the body that he was asked to help move Joe plays Dumb and
00:20:20
acts like he doesn't know what William is talking about right well William starts to get scared of his friend Joe
00:20:27
he starts getting scared of this stuff that he knows he starts thinking you know if if I know about this dead body
00:20:34
that Joe showed me maybe I'm the only one that knows about it well Joe could easily take me out and then nobody knows
00:20:43
about this body right yeah So eventually just within a couple of days William reports the story to the police on
00:20:52
December 15th 1996 at approximately 1:40 a.m. members of the Baltimore City police department and an FBI task force
00:21:03
arrest Joe methany get this they arrested Joe at the Joe Stein and Sons company Christmas party and it does not
00:21:13
take them long to find a dead body just 10 ft from the trailer that Joe slept in
00:21:19
they find the body of a woman who is wrapped up in a red tarp and that would be the body I'm assuming the dead body
00:21:28
would later be identified as Kimberly Lynn Spicer age 26 so after he is arrested a Baltimore
00:21:36
Police Officer transported him to the homicide unit of the police department during the course of the investigation
00:21:44
of the recovered body of Kim Spicer Joe gave several statements to detectives but he starts telling them about someone
00:21:52
other than Kim Spicer he tells them he met a woman about two years ago he described the woman as possibly having
00:22:02
brown hair her build according to Joe was she was a little thin and she was a little tall in stature he believes this
00:22:10
would have been one night back in July 1994 Joe is very judgmental yeah he says that this would have been around 8 or
00:22:18
900 p.m. that night mhm he tells the officers that he took this woman to his trailer located at The Pallet company
00:22:26
and while in his trailer he had sex with her while she was partially clothed she had been in his trailer for
00:22:34
approximately 1 hour when Joe started to strangle her when the detective asked Joe methany how did you strangle her did
00:22:42
you strangle her with your hands methany responded Yes with my hands the detective further questioned did you use
00:22:49
anything else to which he answered I Ed an an extension cord I took the end of the cord and strangled her to clarify
00:22:58
he's saying that he choked her with his hands until she passed out once she passed out he put the extension cord
00:23:04
around her neck and killed her then according to Joe he drugg her back into the woods then buried her in a shallow
00:23:11
grave he then took her purse and clothing and buried them in a separate location now we said that Joe did not
00:23:19
know the woman's name but he gave identifying information stating that he believed that the victim's first name
00:23:26
was possibly Kathy and that she was approximately 5' 6 to 5' 7 and about 120 to 130 lb she was also missing a couple
00:23:35
of Upper Front Teeth she had been wearing cut off jeans white tennis shoes and a white pullover sweater and she had
00:23:43
a purse with her and like you said he's he's basically living on the property of
00:23:48
his work and it's a finston property and so it's a big area but outside that fence is where he's been burying these
00:23:56
individuals yes there's there's that wooded area so he's going to draw a diagram of what he can you know best
00:24:03
remember to try to help them locate uh this victim yes they're they're going to look for where he buried the body he
00:24:11
says it would have been a shallow grave he said approximately 2 feet deep he further stated that when he buried her
00:24:18
she was not dressed additionally Joe indicated that after the body had been buried for about 6 months he went back
00:24:26
to the burial location and dug up and removed the skull afterwards he threw the skull in a trash box why why did he
00:24:34
do that um I mean does it say yeah well he in his words actually I should I should clarify I don't know if these are
00:24:44
his words maybe a reporter cleaned it up right but from the report that I read he
00:24:51
dug up the skull that had been there for approximately 6 months cleaned it and then made love to it M uh romantic yeah
00:25:00
and then he he threw this skull in a trash box the Box containing the skull was a later removed from that location
00:25:07
and transported to according to Joe Oxford Pennsylvania so he must know where this trash is being sent to yeah
00:25:15
and basically he's telling you you're going to find this body roughly in this area on the diagram that I drew you're
00:25:23
going to find a naked woman headless nak naked woman yeah well also if you're living in this you know work compound
00:25:30
basically and you know when trash is leaving then this is a great way for you to be able to hide evidence right he
00:25:39
should have probably put the whole thing in the you know in this trash box that would have been transported far away
00:25:46
right but for whatever reason he felt more comfortable burying her in that shallow grave in the woods so the next
00:25:52
day the police took Joe in cuffs and shackles back to the Pallet company as escorted by detective Pennington this is
00:26:00
one of the detectives that was involved in the questioning of Joe they took him there for the purpose of pointing out
00:26:06
where he had buried the female [Music] victim this show is sponsored by better help do you look forward to the holidays

00:28:32
killer um not to be confused with like somebody like Pat maeni they're they're spelled the same way but and if you look
00:28:40
up some reports they will say Joe methi but it's actually Joe methany yeah we got that from local Baltimore reports so
00:28:49
him being from Baltimore we're going with that with that pronunciation so where we left off Captain they had
00:28:56
returned Joe to The Pallet company in hopes of finding this buried female victim that Joe had told the
00:29:03
investigators about now on that first day the search team was unsuccessful in locating the body Joe could not seem to
00:29:12
show them the right spot and there had been a good deal of rain around that time so they brought in kadav dogs to
00:29:20
pick up a scent however possibly due to all this rain they were unable to find the location so finding nothing they had
00:29:29
to call off the search and then later again get permission to remove Joe from the Baltimore City detention center with
00:29:37
permission granted detective Pennington again transported Joe back to the Joe Stein and Sun Pallet company to assist
00:29:44
locating the body this time after some hesitation methany indicated to detectives there's an area approximately
00:29:52
just 10 ft from a previous location that he had pointed out to them okay so bring
00:29:57
bring in the excavation team right uhhuh the team used techniques to carefully unearth The Remains and they were
00:30:04
exactly exactly in the condition that Joe said that they would be the doctor at the excavation site noted that the
00:30:10
cranium was missing the skeletal remains were recovered from a very shallow grave
00:30:16
and transported to the office of the chief medical examiner where later with dental records the remains were found to
00:30:24
be that of Catherine magaziner and Catherine would have been 45 at the time of her murder yeah and I know it's a bit
00:30:32
confusing Captain because we said that the cranum was missing but remember the body had been buried for approximately 6
00:30:40
months so when Joe dug up the body and took the skull the lower jaw by this time had already fallen off mhm the
00:30:49
lower jaw was located with the rest of the body and that's what they use to get the dental records they're also going to
00:30:56
be able to determined that Joe was telling the truth when he said that her death was by
00:31:01
strangulation yes and here's a little thing here Joe was asked why he had killed Kathy he said that it gave him a
00:31:09
sense of power stating I don't know I got a rush out of it I got high out of it yeah adding call it what you want I
00:31:17
had no real excuse other than I like to do it I don't know how to describe it so
00:31:23
now Captain we have this man we have him he's locked up he's been arrested we found two bodies he's attacked another
00:31:32
woman that got away thankfully yeah so who is this guy okay so we but we found the one that wasn't buried that's the
00:31:41
one that he tried to get his coworker to help him bury yes move the body Kim Spicer she was wrapped up in a a red
00:31:48
tarp yeah and then we found Catherine she is Buried buried in that wooded area near the Pallet Company both died of
00:31:56
same CA uh believed to be strangulation in both both deaths yes and then we have an
00:32:02
attack on this was the Rita keer who was attacked and got away now one thing I do
00:32:07
want to point out here Captain regarding the cause of death with these two women
00:32:12
is that Joe unfortunately he he when he attacked these women he beat them quite a bit as well um so they would have seen
00:32:21
injuries on the bodies to indicate that as well so who is this guy we have locked up you know what can we figure
00:32:31
out about his background well we can tell that he's a real piece of [ __ ] well Joe was born in Baltimore County but
00:32:40
lived in West Virginia from the ages of 2 to six later according to Joe pay attention to that according to Joe he
00:32:48
was shuffled among Foster Holmes in the Baltimore area he completed the eth grade but he earned his high school
00:32:56
equiv equivalency and studied physics for a year and a half while in the Army where he was a field artillery soldier
00:33:05
from 1973 to 1975 he was honorably discharged after that he worked at various jobs including a shipyard a
00:33:14
liquor distributor and he was also a Long Haul truck driver for some time methany spent about 20 years in a world
00:33:22
few people ever see he drifted in and out of Baltimore city's homeless camps composed of filthy tents and sleeping
00:33:30
bags under bridges and over sewer gradings for a while he lived in row houses under the bapco river bridge in a
00:33:39
homeless Community called Tent City then later in 1988 he began working at the Joe Stein and Suns company where he
00:33:49
lived in the trailer at The Pallet company now at The Pallet Company Captain according to his co-workers Joe
00:33:56
methany he made people laugh they said he would joke about anything and his bosses at work stated he was a pretty
00:34:03
smart guy he would come up with solutions to problems stating that if we had a problem he would be the one that
00:34:09
would come up with a way to figure it out but these same co-workers described a complex personality many of them
00:34:16
saying in one respect he is a gentle giant that they nicknamed tiny standing more than 6et tall weighing almost 300
00:34:24
lb stating that he loves to draw large cartoon characters and play video games so he sounds kind of like a big kid yeah
00:34:31
but enough with this uh we we call the big guy tiny let's come up with some better names than that that that does
00:34:38
happen a lot but but here's where the complex personality comes into play they state that he also had a temper and at
00:34:45
times it threatened co-workers and also threatened patrons of the bar where he hung out nearly every night playing pool
00:34:52
does it right but does it say what kind of threats cuz there's a difference between hey man I'm going to kick your
00:34:57
ass and hey man I'm going to kill you uh I don't have any specifics I don't have
00:35:03
any specifics just co-workers stating that they were aware that he had threatened them at times as well as
00:35:09
people at this bar well and I think also because you're living at your job then you know that you know if you make these
00:35:17
threats and then your employer comes down on you not only do you lose your job you're going to lose your home mhm
00:35:24
well he also drank very heavily according to the people that knew him they believed that he went through a
00:35:31
bottle of Southern Comfort whiskey each and every night whether it be at the bar
00:35:37
or back at the rundown trailer that was furnished simply with two chairs a couch
00:35:42
and a television set and electric heater he Joe had surrounded the trailer with stacks of
00:35:50
pallets methany told his attorney that he was one of six children born into a poor family and that he was neglected as
00:35:59
a child and shuffled off to foster homes by his parents and telling his attorney
00:36:04
by the time of his arrest both his parents were dead okay now Captain as you know we are about to get into our
00:36:12
first discrepancy in this serial killer profile case Okay because here we try as
00:36:18
we did with Ted Bundy and John gasey to study their crimes their backgrounds and
00:36:23
their words to try to get a better sense of who these killers are why they did what they did and what made them this
00:36:31
way now Joe I wouldn't consider to be a human in any sense that we can see from the crimes that we have already
00:36:39
discussed yeah you can see he's just an evil waste of life but when we look at Joe's crimes his background and
00:36:46
especially his words to try to figure him out this is where we run into one major problem Joe would later in life
00:36:54
tell us a lot about his crimes in background but at some point we have to start to wonder how much of this that he
00:37:01
is telling us is true among other things he told his lawyer that his mother was dead which came as a surprise to his
00:37:09
mother right he says both of his parents are dead while Presto chaino Captain Joe's mom is alive so not only did he
00:37:17
get that wrong or lie but his mother's Recollections contradict some of Joe's statements all right so what does his
00:37:25
mother say his mother was tracked down by a reporter at her home in Markleysburg Pennsylvania her name is
00:37:31
Jean methany and at the time of this she was 78 years Young when the reporter tracked her down uh she you mean old
00:37:41
yeah well both uh when she was told that her son Joe described her as dead she responded maybe he just wishes I was
00:37:51
adding that he pushed his family away a long time ago Jean methany described her
00:37:56
son uh as growing up to be a normal boy saying he was smart and he had a good childhood she said this and this next
00:38:04
statement should shouldn't make me laugh but it does Jean said if Joe was neglected it was his own fault
00:38:12
she right that just does that seem weird or what that sounds neglectful yeah hey
00:38:18
if uh you were neglected it's your own damn fault yeah she said that their home was a pretty good one adding that none
00:38:24
of her children were ever placed in other homes but if it wasn't a good home it's your own damn
00:38:31
fault Jean methany she said her husband was a laborer the two of them struggled to make ends meet and moved to the North
00:38:39
Point Boulevard area of Essex shortly before Joe methany was born when Joe was six his father was killed in a car
00:38:47
accident she said his death was very very hard on the family right Jean had to work to support the family she said
00:38:55
that she did everything everything she could to keep the children together and the years after her husband's death Jean
00:39:02
says she worked as a waitress a barid and as a canteen truck driver who delivered lunches to workers at
00:39:10
Sparrow's Point Shipyard she said she could not be with her family every single minute of the day but it was a
00:39:17
normal family she said we weren't rich but we always had something to eat and we always had a roof over our heads and
00:39:25
that becomes a difficult situation because the father at that time especially in that time period he
00:39:31
probably was the bread winner and now she's going to have to take on these jobs and a lot of times you'd see that
00:39:37
the mother would stay at home and raise the the children why the father can focus on his career mhm and so she might
00:39:45
not to build up some of those skills so she would had to take on jobs like being
00:39:49
a waitress or something that wouldn't pay her as much per hour so she wouldn't be working that normal 40 Hour Week she'
00:39:55
be working 60 hours a week well not only that Captain I'm guessing that when she
00:39:59
mentions that she has you know at times she worked as a waitress or a barid or the truck driver right I'm also
00:40:06
wondering because they have six children and she's a single parent if at a lot of
00:40:11
those times if she was working more than one of those jobs together no that's what I mean I I'm I'm assuming that
00:40:17
she's working anywhere from 60 to 70 hours a and that you know is that a normal childhood for some people yeah
00:40:26
but you know you have six kids then where did they go who's watching them yeah and I mean I don't mean to attack
00:40:33
Jean here no not at all not at all but I do question where where I hear her say that she's working all these
00:40:41
jobs it seems to me like maybe neglected is not that big of a stretch well no because in her defense
00:40:50
she's doing everything she can to put food on the table keep the lights on so that's not you know you know it's not
00:40:56
neglect right right maybe that's the wrong word what what I'm getting at though is we have one parent gone who
00:41:03
passed away I'm just saying that and we have another that's that may not be home
00:41:07
hardly ever and yeah and we all know how tough it can be to live in a a single a
00:41:12
parent home uh and then especially in this time to have a single mother home you know so I plot her for putting the
00:41:21
family on her shoulders and trying to do what she can she did go on to tell us that she and the family never went on
00:41:28
welfare and she remembers her son Joe as an avid bike rider and an above average
00:41:34
student and adding that he was always polite well if you're scoring at home trying to keep track of Joe's lies or
00:41:43
truths um so Dad dead yes check Mom not dead no check for Joe but maybe dead in his mind she did agree that uh that Joe
00:41:55
did serve you know that Joe spent time serving this great country uh in our nation's military and gives some detail
00:42:03
stating that when he turned 18 in 1973 Joe entered the Army and was stationed in Germany where he met a
00:42:11
woman that he seemed to be very close to we don't have any more information on this woman but she brings him up her up
00:42:17
for some reason Joe methany told his attorney that he served in Vietnam and became addicted to heroin during his
00:42:25
tour of Duty in the artillery unit right but his mother said that she does not recall him having served in Vietnam the
00:42:34
Articles where I found this information stated that the military records for Joseph meeni were not available when
00:42:42
they wrote this I was unable to confirm if he had actually served in the war um or if he was just stationed in Germany
00:42:49
like his mother had said well tough thing to he though too is I mean if if the death of the father was was really
00:42:56
tough on the family and then you again you have six kids and then I mean is there any truth
00:43:03
to the whole foster care thing that seems to be an item that they cannot agree on she's stating that she did
00:43:11
everything she could to keep the children together that doesn't mean that they did that's true that's that's why I
00:43:17
find her statement strange right because she doesn't she doesn't definitively say
00:43:22
the kids were always at my house and in my care she says that she did the best that she could to keep the children
00:43:28
together right and so he goes off into the army maybe he served maybe he didn't maybe she doesn't know because they
00:43:35
weren't that close afterwards I do think um she did at some point definitively say that they did not live at any other
00:43:44
homes but it seems like a now mind you she's 78 when she's giving this interview uh so some of these answers
00:43:52
seem a little bit uh of a roundabout way of getting to them now once he had left
00:43:58
her home this is according to his mother Joseph seldom called or wrote to his mother right um the relationship she
00:44:06
said eventually disintegrated and the two didn't speak for about 10 years stating that he just kept drifting
00:44:13
further and further away and she does agree that Joe at some point developed a drug
00:44:20
problem um here's one thing I wonder about Captain uhuh if they hadn't spoken so long and I really wonder about Joe's
00:44:29
drug issues I think I think he was a severe alcoholic and probably very addicted to drugs um right and I'm I'm
00:44:39
betting that this had gone on for quite some time leading up to the point of his
00:44:44
arrest with his mother being 78 and them not having spoke for so long do you think where the public would later call
00:44:52
Joe a liar for stating that his mother is dead do you think there there's any chance that he may have just thought she
00:44:57
was dead that he didn't keep track with her I mean you're talking about a guy that he went he woke up in the morning
00:45:04
probably hung over as hell and went and worked as a forklift operator and then went straight to the bar every night
00:45:12
after work where he got wasted drunk right and would do drugs if he could get his hands on them and then wake up and
00:45:19
repeat the same thing the next day we're not talking about somebody that's keeping tabs on family members or or or
00:45:25
living any kind of normal life well no contact for 10 years so maybe at some point he's either just assuming or like
00:45:32
I said I think more of that is psychologically that she's dead to me let's yeah yeah I agree with that and
00:45:39
and I obviously he has some issues with women well let's get to the trials regarding the charges that Joe is facing
00:45:48
he was first charged with the attack on Rita keer we'll call her The One That Got Away this won't be a very tough
00:45:56
trial though it shouldn't be at all I mean we have a living witness SL victim and she ran directly from the attack and
00:46:03
fled into the arms of a police officer yeah so we have her testimony and we have the police officer's testimony as
00:46:10
well regarding the victim the arrest and any evidence found in both so that's an
00:46:16
easy case Joe gets 50 years and that seems good that feels good right Captain he gets 50 years for the attack for the
00:46:23
attack on Rita keer on the on the the woman that thankfully got away from him yeah the thing here is when I was when I
00:46:32
was writing down this sentence that he got sentenced to 50 years something immediately popped in my head and I have
00:46:38
to bring this up with you because I know you're you're a fan I recently read one
00:46:42
of Robert Kessler's I'm sorry Robert wrestler's books uhuh uh I was inspired to do so because of the the show mind
00:46:50
Hunter on Netflix you and I both loved the Mind Hunter yeah I didn't love love it at first I I think it was like the
00:46:58
first episode I I thought the main character was I was like yeah I'm not really into this guy by the second
00:47:03
episode I'm not a huge car guy even though I own a garage um the cars in the show from the time period and then it
00:47:12
was his partner the old school cop the old school detective bill yeah Bill he grew on me um much like the captain
00:47:22
would grow on you no but then by like the third episode I was in love with everybody uh and I just think it's a
00:47:31
amazing show the first I'm getting a little off track here but the first uh episode opens up with that hostage scene
00:47:39
where the the hostage taker ends up blowing his own head off and that I was hooked right there hey spoiler spoiler
00:47:46
it's it's a season long thing that's like the first 10 minutes of the hey spoiler okay so here's send hate mail to
00:47:54
dear.com I was reading a book by Robert wrestler okay and the reason why I did this is I'm not certain I'm not 100%
00:48:03
certain but you had mentioned the older agent bill right who eventually recruits
00:48:08
Holden to the BSU right I believe Bill's character is based off of the real life person Robert
00:48:16
wrestler yeah so having watched this it inspired me to go back and read one of wrestler's books and in one of them this
00:48:24
is not a direct quote but trust me this is very close he's talking about punishing criminals and of course
00:48:30
throughout his career he has faced and been involved in conviction in the conviction process of probably the
00:48:37
absolute worst people that you can imagine yeah he says in his book unfortunately we live in a time where
00:48:44
the sentence of death doesn't always mean death life doesn't always mean life and 25 years can mean 12 or even six
00:48:53
yeah so just keeping that in mind think is important here because I I'm quick too to go well we're taking a man that's
00:49:01
in his 40s and we're giving him 50 years in prison and that's the same as locking
00:49:06
him up and throwing away the key when in reality it's absolutely not so it's very
00:49:13
important that we have these other two trials for Joseph methi to face Justice for the murders of these other two women
00:49:22
the second and the third trial will be different because in those trial Joe is charged with murder and facing the death
00:49:28
penalty in each of the cases the first murder trial is for the murder of 23-year-old Kimberly Spicer Joe was
00:49:36
possibly facing the death penalty because the prosecutor was charging him with not only murder but with robbery
00:49:44
and sexual assault it was necessary for the pro prosecution to prove robbery or sexual assault in
00:49:53
addition to the murder in order to get that death penalty under Maryland law defense lawyers called a surprised
00:50:01
witness in an effort to help Joe avoid the death sentence yeah this was Baltimore homicide detective Homer
00:50:09
Pennington that we had mentioned earlier the lead homicide detective who investigated the gruesome
00:50:16
killing he was asked did Mr methany discuss his necrofilia acts with you to which Pennington said yes the lawyers
00:50:26
this is this is one of the strangest things I've ever come across in in in Trials here but the lawyers are trying
00:50:33
to show that Joe does not deserve the death penalty because he did not commit an aggravating crime such as sexual
00:50:41
assault and then murder the woman right they called the detective to make a bizarre but important point that Joe
00:50:49
preferred to have sex with dead women and necrofilia is not considered a crime in the state of Maryland that's
00:50:58
ridiculous just kind of just kind of sit and soak that in for a minute yeah well
00:51:03
it should be so listen to this they should just say pause the trial hey by the way that's now a new law hey can can
00:51:11
we get voters to come out and just put this into into the process immediately necrofilia should be a crime yes
00:51:19
everywhere yes that ain't right anyway so his defense la lawers they did not contest the claim that Joe per
00:51:30
performed a sex act with Spicer's body but this was after her death right in fact they added that that methany
00:51:38
violated Spicer with a bottle after she was dead but they denied that he had sex
00:51:45
with her while she was alive right well another strange part to this trial the defense attorneys considered calling
00:51:53
Spicer's mother to the stand as a witness we don't need to call her well this is what's this is what's strange
00:52:00
about it Joe then persuaded them not to call her he reportedly told the attorneys please do not do this Spicer's
00:52:11
mother this is uh Kathy Kathy Price was not called to the stand it's just so crazy to me all these serial killers
00:52:19
that have issues with their mothers I mean it's just over and over right yeah and but you're talking about he did some
00:52:26
horrible things to this Kimberly Spicer right and then he he's it's almost like okay to do what he did you you basically
00:52:36
I don't think you can have remorse if you do what he did and then you did it again to somebody else I don't see any
00:52:42
any form of remorse there however him crying at the trial when she when she's to be called and saying hey don't do
00:52:49
this then you start to question is he remorseful is he you know sad about what he did is he sad for this victim for the
00:52:58
mother's victim well I think the victim of his mother I'm not saying that right at all it's a mother of a mother I'm I'm
00:53:04
trying to say the the victim's mother that maybe he felt bad for the victim's mother go ahead right but I possibly but
00:53:13
uh also with the whole situation with his mother you know he seems like somebody that stuck in his past and
00:53:20
maybe by that bringing being brought up to that Forefront that maybe he this is going to sound weird but maybe on some
00:53:29
way psychologically he's reverted back to a time where he wasn't this crazy piece of [ __ ] you know what I mean back
00:53:36
in a time where maybe he was a Sweet Child you know what I mean um yeah and that kind of goes you
00:53:43
know lot there's a lot of arguments are killers born you know or they or are they made and it's probably just more
00:53:50
selfish than wanting to spare uh Kimberly Spicer's mother the a of going on the stand it's probably more selfish
00:53:58
in just that it bothered him that it made him upset and he's saying hey don't do this right right now I I did make a I
00:54:05
misspoke earlier Captain Kimberly Spicer was stabbed 26 times that was the cause
00:54:11
of her death Joe was found guilty of first-degree murder in her horrific murder right but he was spared the death
00:54:19
penalty by the judge who ruled that Joe did not Rob or sexually assault the woman before
00:54:25
he killed her now a day after escaping the death penalty Joseph was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison
00:54:34
without the possibility of parole after the trial Kim Spicer's mother said to reporters I'd like to ask him why he
00:54:43
killed Kim right but stating that we will never really know he's just a killer and some people there is just
00:54:52
evil yeah but did she ever ask him I don't think she ever had a conversation with with Joe uh outside of the
00:55:00
courtroom well and he also liked to write people I don't you know but that would be a sign of remorse to write a
00:55:06
letter to the victim's mother I just don't think he has that in him the second murder trial took place about 5
00:55:13
months later and again Joe is facing the death penalty this time he is accused of
00:55:17
killing uh Kathy magaziner who was Decap her decapitated body was found on the grounds of Joe and Son Pallet
00:55:26
company but she was she was also decapitated postmortem yes and I should stop myself here and add that Joe was
00:55:34
actually facing three murder charges in three separate cases originally charged with two but once those trials were set
00:55:44
law enforcement they then then identified a third body in connected it to this case this was Tony Lynn and
00:55:52
Gracia she was only 28 years old at the time of her death her Father John described Tony simply telling reporters
00:56:00
that she was a good girl she had some problems with drugs but she was trying to get help and I hate to report this
00:56:08
here but there is very little out there on this case all that I could find is that um she she okay so her body was
00:56:17
found basically dumped on the side of a road right and when he was arrested they
00:56:23
connected this case to him I don't know what evidence they use to connect him to
00:56:28
this case my guess sometimes they don't use any evidence to just go this guy's behind bar maybe he did this one well
00:56:36
and I'm kind of throwing this in as a side note that he was charged with this third murder because eventually it's
00:56:43
thrown out they they dro the charges due to insufficient evidence yeah they couldn't take it to trial right and my
00:56:50
guess here is that is he connected to it we may never know but I know that her case is still unsolved as far as I could
00:56:57
see if anybody can find any information on that make sure you post it on our blog at True Crime garage.com but I'm
00:57:05
guessing captain that it's a simple thing that she was probably running around in in circles that Joe may have
00:57:11
been running around in possibly and uh she may have had connections to that area that he was known to frequent right
00:57:18
but it's also look you're going to the bar you're drinking you're doing drugs you know something like Coke that's a
00:57:25
very social drug so then your circle becomes wider and wider yeah but what I'm getting at is I
00:57:33
think it's just a simple thing that she fits the victimology of Joe yeah and he's he's locked up he's certainly
00:57:40
capable of it let's go ahead and charge him with it meanwhile we can't find any evidence to support our Theory well and
00:57:47
also maybe their thought was hey let's charge uh Joe with it because he's also a guy that starts speaking that's true
00:57:53
and it could be as simple go hey we believe that you uh responsible for this murder of this young lady and he just
00:58:01
goes yeah and this is what happened yeah and then it's a open and you know open and shut case um you know I don't know
00:58:10
that's clever I didn't think of that I didn't I I mean because what does it hurt it they yeah you can always charge
00:58:15
somebody else with it exactly so in Joe's second murder trial the murder of Katherine magaziner uh this should be a
00:58:23
pretty open and shut case as well because remember just after Joe was arrested for Kim Spicer's murder 3 days
00:58:29
later he led police to a shallow grave on the property which held the decapitated remains of Kathy now one
00:58:38
thing that i' I want to point out here Captain is why they have the person take them to the body and we we know on it
00:58:48
obviously is this on the surface that we need to locate this body so we can charge this individual with the actual
00:58:55
murder but it's essentially a confession right you know I mean well in I buried her over there right and but
00:59:04
what they do the reason why they bring a person like Joe to the actual body is that later if he decides he wants to
00:59:11
recant his confession they can still say in court well yeah we can't use your confession against you but you were the
00:59:19
one that physically led us to this body right like like I said it's almost like uh a second confession um not one that
00:59:28
they can't take away exactly so some highlights from this trial the uh final prosecution witness was an FBI agent
00:59:37
this is James Fitz Simmons sounds sounds like FBI agent yeah oh James Fitz Simmons works for the FBI he told the
00:59:46
bureau he told how the bureau had been investigating a range of alleged criminal activities coming from the Joe
00:59:52
Stein and Suns company when they received a tip that methany had been harboring a corpse these are his words
01:00:00
now the defense attorney in my opinion Joe had very good counsel at his trials which I was a little surprised yeah
01:00:09
forgive me out there if this is rubbing anybody the wrong way for me being surprised but we're talking about a drug
01:00:15
addict that has no money I mean he was working making $ or $8 an hour as a forklift operator getting paid an extra
01:00:22
$20 a week and blowing all of money on drugs and alcohol well and these crimes are horrendous and he is confessing to
01:00:30
them in multiple ways so what great defense attorney is going to step up and say he maybe I'll help this guy and and
01:00:38
these are cases that you're going to lose you know you're going to lose them yes and but from his attorney's actions
01:00:45
I I'm just saying I'm giving it a great a I think that he had good representation he had better
01:00:51
representation than like Adon SED and well and like you said these are losing cases so your whole your whole Battle
01:00:58
Ground here is to make sure he doesn't get killed he doesn't get the death penalty right so that's probably why
01:01:05
they jumped on board it was probably somebody that is against the death penalty that's true and should not be in
01:01:11
our legal system and they said hey you know what I'm going to step up and I'm going to
01:01:16
defend that principle not defend this monster but I'm just going to try to get it you know where he doesn't get the
01:01:22
death penalty his attorney's name was Margaret me um you know if if I'm giving her a grade A I should at least mention
01:01:28
her name uh one thing she did during the course of the trial was she questioned uh the FBI agent about payments that the
01:01:36
FBI made to the owner Son Of The Pallet Company H uh yeah and they also made payments to this William Ashbrook
01:01:44
remember he was the guy that had called had told police this guy asked me to help move a body for right okay so it
01:01:52
goes like this uh um they she brought up a report that showed the FBI had spent approximately $25,000 on ashbrook's
01:02:03
behalf this was they paid him to go to a drug rehabilitation program they paid for well they didn't pay him to go there
01:02:11
they paid for the program itself and they covered his rent uh for some time while he went into hiding as a
01:02:19
cooperating witness the FBI also reimbursed the owner of a house where Ashbrook had once stayed and the owner
01:02:27
accused him of stealing tools valued at $5,000 I I don't fault them for doing that I mean because at the end of the
01:02:34
day they're getting evidence but they're also not just handing this guy money they're trying to straighten out this
01:02:39
guy's life MH and they probably said hey look you have a drug problem yeah I got
01:02:43
a drug problem hey for for you helping and cooperating with us we're going to try to get you clean right and we're
01:02:50
going to do so by sending you to rehab but we're also going to pay your rent for a while so you have nothing to worry
01:02:55
about why you're in hiding from this 300 and some pound you know Monster of a dude yeah the FBI also spent about
01:03:03
$94,000 to relocate Joe Stein Jr and his family after he began cooperating with the investigation well that's a little
01:03:13
excessive I think that um yeah so they're kind of they're kind of protecting these people from a guy
01:03:20
that's locked up um I'm not saying that's wrong I'm is pointing out something that I found interesting in
01:03:26
the trial I guess the the attorney was possibly trying to imply that they paid these two in some form to testify
01:03:35
against her client yeah I think it's I think it's a reasonable argument uh whether or not you can prove that is
01:03:42
another thing I think it's fair to bring it up at the course of the trial yeah Council also was asking the jury to
01:03:48
spare the death penalty because Joe was addicted to drugs and that the slayings occurred while he was under the
01:03:55
influence of heroin cocaine or alcohol and pointing out that Joe has a good deal of remorse for what he has done his
01:04:04
attorney stated that Joe said he wanted the killings to stop she added that he's
01:04:09
very polite respectful and intelligent he understands far more than most people it's very indicative that when he is
01:04:17
under the influence of various narcotics that that is when there seems to be a personality change Joe himself described
01:04:26
this as a rage that comes forward through drugs he described this as being very frustrated with his life being very
01:04:35
frustrated too about how he grew up and all of the life experiences he had had yeah Joe methany seems like a guy that's
01:04:43
just stuck in a prison of his past yeah and the thing Captain is this you know I
01:04:50
went through a couple of the quote unquote highlights of the trial but the the strangest thing that happened in the
01:04:56
trial was after Joe was found guilty this is where Joe decides to address the jury and I mean this cannot be a smart
01:05:05
move at all but you you can't make this guy stop right he addresses the jury and
01:05:10
I'm not going to give any direct quotes but he starts telling them that they should kill him they should
01:05:17
sentence him to death because he is not sorry for what he has done he will never
01:05:22
be sorry for what he has done he then goes on to describe digging up the skull of one of his victims saying
01:05:30
that he made love to it yeah then he's telling the jury that he is happy to go to hell for his
01:05:37
crimes and he talked about when he when when the uh medical examiners had performed the autopsy on another one of
01:05:45
his victims that they had found that she had and this is his terrible words here
01:05:53
that she had given birth birth to a bouncing baby beer bottle that was his way of describing the bottle that the
01:06:00
medical examiner had found so he was facing the death penalty and I'm happy to report that he got the death
01:06:08
penalty yeah kind of a weird thing though because you know he comes out he confesses then he cries at trial maybe
01:06:18
shows some sign of remorse and maybe he was smart enough to know if I if I addressed the juries and maybe it
01:06:27
was as simple as this person's trying to defend me but they're only trying to defend me because they don't want the
01:06:32
death penalty and they don't believe in the death penalty but they don't give a [ __ ] about me and you know well I hate
01:06:40
women so [ __ ] her too you know what I mean and I'm I'm going to throw this whole trial right that's possible or
01:06:48
he's saying I have to live with myself and I'm such a gigantic pile of Dogman man that I don't want to live anymore so
01:06:57
I'm going to say these horrible things whether or not you know that's just for somebody to decide you know does he
01:07:05
believe in what he's saying or does he not it's possibly a a suicide wish from him I could see that with the depressing
01:07:12
statements that he's made over the years um one thing though I question is everyone that describes Joe they
01:07:20
describe him as a smart and intelligent man right here's what I wonder Captain having already received 50 years for
01:07:30
kidnapping and then a life without the possibility of parole sentence in the first murder trial so like then they add
01:07:37
that now he's facing the death penalty again and he's been convicted but but not sentenced he goes to the jury and
01:07:45
puts on this whole crazy role I'm wondering if that was some plan inside of his head that he's like well maybe I
01:07:52
can convince these people that I'm crazy that during the course of this trial I'm
01:07:57
going to show that I'm remorseful I'm going to have my attorney point out that I'm remorseful that I was addicted to
01:08:03
drugs and the drugs caused me to kill people and when it's all said and done if I have my last card to play is the
01:08:13
crazy card yeah and I mean nobody in their right mind would get up and say the things that he said to the jury so
01:08:21
but like you said he's I mean he is not human yes and but but I have so many questions about Joe though because he's
01:08:29
also one of these guys that comes off as defiant to the end for me maybe this is
01:08:34
just a oh well you got me there's nothing I can do about it so I'm going to rub your faces in it for a while
