True Crime Trivia With Cousin Mark

Courtney

I'm clicking it back on to tell you, rob, that your job is hard and we appreciate you, because I decided we were going to cut an episode off and start a new one, and then Cousin Mark decided to be a comedian.

Hannah

Well, I started it, though I can't you can't blame Cousin Mark Hannah wants credit.

Courtney

But Cousin Mark was the one who said the funny thing that made us all chipper. I mean yeah, because it was handmade, that was probably the Okay, ready to wander into the darkness with us? This is Wicked Wanderings. We are going to be doing another one of our true crime trivia episodes with guest cousin Mark. So it's from the book Totally Terrifying True Crime Trivia by Brian Boone, just in case anyone was looking for the reference on that.

Cousin Marc

You got to get your theme music as a ringtone so I can put that on my phone when you guys text me.

Hannah

That's perfect.

Cousin Marc

Okay, there you go.

Hannah

A lack of license plates. On his car, nailed serial killer Joel Rifkin. Do you know anything about Joel Rifkin?

Hannah

I do he was in New York. When are we going to find something he doesn't know? I know, right, many serial killers will fulfill their pathological need to kill and avoid capture by targeting prostitutes, right, drug addicts and others who fall through the cracks of society and can go missing without sounding as many alarms. Joel rifkin did just that, murdering as many as 17 drug addicted sex workers in new york city and long island between 1989 and 1993. He was captured not because of evidence of his violent crimes, but because he neglected to put license plates on his car. Stopped by police for driving without plates, rifkin panicked and engaged authorities in a high-speed pursuit that ended when he crashed into a pole outside a courthouse, where he later stand trial and receive a 203-year prison sentence.

Courtney

Wow, how about the irony on that.

Cousin Marc

They got him because he had a body in the back of his truck.

Courtney

Stop. I'm sorry, but like okay actually. I can, so I can see both sides.

Hannah

on this one I'll play devil's advocate here for a second, both sides of what Having a dead body in the trunk.

Courtney

Wait for it. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying I can understand where your brain would be like oh shit, I have a dead body in the trunk. I'm going to take my license plate off. I can see where you're like. They can't draw attention to myself with this dead body in the trunk by not having a license plate. Yes, I would have preferred if it were my situation, not that it would be. I would have kept the license plate on the car and taken my chances and just not driven like a psychopath well, see, that's the.

Cousin Marc

That's the thing with dahmer. Dahmer's first kill. He had the kid in the trash bags in the back of the car and he took off. He took off at like two in the morning. The police pulled him over, asked him what he's doing. He goes well, my parents are fighting. I'm taking the trash to the dump just to get out of the house. They go well, the dump's closed. You're gonna have to go home. He goes okay, and he turned around and left did you watch the movie the of dommer?

Murder and Rehabilitation

Hannah

um, it's on netflix. Yeah, yeah, I did. How was it? I haven't seen it, me neither. It was good. Yeah, it was good. Yeah. Did you watch Woman of the Year?

Cousin Marc

Woman of the Hour? No, not that.

Courtney

I can't Not yet. I know that. So I was telling Hannah and Rob that I tried to watchwise. I just had a really hard time with the way that it was set up and I don't know why, because I usually eat that stuff right up.

Cousin Marc

She said because I listened to the interview that she did with Ashley Flowers. She said that if you could get through the first five minutes of the movie, you're home free.

Courtney

I disagree with that, because I'm like halfway through and I'm like, oh really, I think it's for me the the actress from glee is in there and it's just super distracting. Did the cup song.

Cousin Marc

Yes, yeah, I just she was so bubbly and now she's. But see, the only thing I have an issue with with the movie, from listening to her talk about it, was the woman never went on the date with rodney alcala. Oh really, once he, once he came out from behind the curtain and she started talking to him.

Hannah

She's like there's something off, yeah Right.

Cousin Marc

And she didn't go on the date with him.

Courtney

So they fabricated that part because it made better cinematography yeah.

Cousin Marc

Sometimes real life doesn't fit the book.

Courtney

Which is disappointing, because there should be no book or movie without what happened in real life, if it's based off of it Right yeah. Well, that's directors for you, and she directed it.

Cousin Marc

Really the girl that starred in it? Really yeah, because they filmed it in 27 days.

Courtney

Oh well, that is. You know what, though I might be able to finish it now that that's kept in mind, because I was like, who put this out? What?

Hannah

is this All right, hannah go.

Courtney

Do watch this. All right, here we go, are you? Do you want me to keep reading? I yeah, no, it's fine, I'll keep clearing my throat and rob will set me on fire, so it's fine.

Hannah

So it's more about joel rifkin. Uh, joel rifkin wanted to reform prostitutes, which why are?

Courtney

why is that the trend of today? Reforming prostitutes or killing them? I guess?

Hannah

shortly after he was apprehended for murdering somewhere between 9 and 17 women. That's a big gap, somewhere between nine and 17 women.

Courtney

That's a big gap, somewhere between nine and 17. Anywhere in the middle.

Cousin Marc

Well Bridgeway was 40. He admitted to 49. They had him pegged at 70 to 100.

Courtney

It's just such a big gap it is, it's not like you know, around 50. It's like or 100 or 200.

Hannah

So between nine and 17 women in New York. From 1989 to 1993, Joel Rifkin was sentenced to 203 years of prison. Six years in, in 1999, he submitted to prison officials a 10-page proposal to open a rehabilitative shelter for prostitutes. Oh my god, oh so in jail.

Courtney

He was like you know what would be great. We shouldn't reform me, we should reform prostitutes. That's good.

Hannah

Wow, I'm just showing I care now A group that he had once targeted as victims. His facility would offer drug treatment, job training and counseling. No desensitization, training, and here I'm quoting, but it's his quote and here I am quoting I love you guys. Just play along with this. It's a way of paying back a debt, I guess rifkin said at the time he also suggested a scared straight program, quote-unquote, where prostitutes would see dead sex workers at a morgue. The plan was not adopted, was he?

Exploring Sex Work and Criminal Behavior

Courtney

I guess? Wait, wait, wait. Let me guess he was going to say I'll take one for the team. I'll take the big L on this one, I'll kill those prostitutes for this morgue Wow, he was just doing job security. That's what that was. He was like, I'm just going to keep finding a way that I can kill people.

Hannah

Let's talk about sex workers for a second, because, courtney, we have had this conversation before. Yes, many times. Like if you want to sell your body as a way to work, who gives a fucking?

Courtney

shit. I don't really understand why it's illegal.

Hannah

Yeah, If that's hey girl, if that's what's bringing you money, Well, think about it.

Courtney

And I'll be the guy to say it. Like people can sell pictures of their feet or their naked body.

Hannah

What's really the difference?

Courtney

between sending a picture of your naked body or letting someone have sex. I don't really understand. To the government like tax them, I guess. Like is that what this is about? Like they don't tax. That was one of the things.

Cousin Marc

That was one of the things with Ridgeway's prostitutes. Ann Rule had it in her book. The mother would say you know you should come and get a, you know hiring at the pharmacy or you know whatever, and you can go. Yeah, and go to work for eight hours a day and make eighty dollars. I can go with a john and make one hundred and one sitting. Right, right, right Right.

Courtney

Well, when you, when you talk about it like that right and you take what the work is out of it, it just makes sense. It's just that social stigma, stigma. It's another one of those things where the social stigma and I mean there is a safety issue. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna lie and say that there isn't a huge. There's a body safety issue and then there's also like a your, your personal self issue too. But I don't know, I don't see the difference between doing that kind of it's kind of the same as people who I'm gonna compare rob to a prostitute, he's not gonna like it he's selling his body to go work at somebody's house.

Courtney

How is?

Hannah

that not the same thing.

Courtney

He's selling a service that he's selling a service that his body has. He's selling those calves, those calves those calves?

Hannah

is that a family trait? By the way? Is it the calves?

Courtney

oh no, I have skinny legs oh, okay, we always tell rob that it's his calves, that's he loves his calves we make him blush. We talk about his calves. So if you hear us saying that on, episodes.

Cousin Marc

We should just model him off.

Courtney

Don't say that to him, because he will, he will, and then he'll start sending you feet pics because our group chat. I get feet pics. I get feet pics that I did not ask for At least you didn't get anything else.

Cousin Marc

It's better than the other picks you could get.

Courtney

That's true.

Hannah

I told him he should get a feet finder and make money off of it. That's it. He could have you checking for moles. Hey, what do you think of this mole Like?

Courtney

oh my God, Did not hate to see all that you might get the feet picks, that the people can swoop down out of the sky and grab their meal from the river.

Hannah

Oh man, Read the next one. No, I'm coughing. Okay, his own plumbing complaints got the Muswell Hill murderer captured. Oh my gosh, he clogged drains. Why is it always the fucking drains? Oh my gosh. Oh this one, yeah, of course you know, robert Mullen Is it. Well, let's see, between 1978 and 1983, serial murderer Dennis Nilsen. Oh my God, there was more than one of them.

Cousin Marc

Dennis Nilsen. Yeah, okay, sorry.

Hannah

Killed 12 men in a London neighborhood. Ooh, london, yeah.

Cousin Marc

And then he was trying to just like Dahmer, he was trying to disintegrate them with acid. Just like Dominar, he was trying to disintegrate them with acid. It's like he's trying to read ahead and then flush them down the drain.

Courtney

And why do people keep doing that when people keep getting caught that way? That's what I don't understand.

Cousin Marc

Well, wait, watch how he gets caught.

Hannah

Oh, no, he became known as the Muswell Hill murderer. He strangled his victims and then keep their bodies in his apartment, eventually dissecting them and burning most of their remains. Them and burning most of their remains. Authorities apprehended him after Nilsen and others in his building called a plumber complaining of clogged drains. The plumbers traced the blockages to the top floor apartment where Nilsen lived and found that the blockages consisted of flesh and human bone pieces. Nilsen confessed to police, who discovered bags of human remains in his home, and he was arrested and sentenced to life in prison. Wow, he should have rented a hotel room.

Courtney

Wow, oh, you should have rented a hotel room. Wow, oh, like Dahmer yeah.

Cousin Marc

You should have rented a hotel room.

Courtney

Under a fake ID.

Cousin Marc

So here's the thing Too close to home. When they called the plumber, the plumber went out to the street, the plumber not a plumber A plumber Plumber A plumber.

Hannah

A plumber. No, we love the accent. I'm just teasing you, I know you do See, you got him coughing now.

Cousin Marc

It's contagious. How'd you do that from 300 miles away?

Courtney

In the virtual, she's a witch. The tea, she's a witch Fucking putt nums, fucking putt nums, what?

Cousin Marc

happened was the plumber went into the streets in a manhole and that was where she started to see the skin, and then, oh good.

Courtney

Imagine being that guy and being like Nope straight up Monday.

Cousin Marc

So listen. So Nielsen found out that they were down there, so it like highly intoxicated two o'clock in the morning he climbed down in there to clean it all out. So they didn't investigate more. Wow, yeah.

Courtney

You would have to be intoxicated.

Cousin Marc

Somebody clean this. Something's going on.

Courtney

You would have had to have been completely inebriated to do that. That's repulsive, oh God.

Cousin Marc

Could you imagine cleaning that and someone flushes the toilet while you're going?

Courtney

I think shit would be the last thing on your mind of being covered in when you're down there in literally people's bodies. Yeah, it would be the icing on top of the cake Shit, or the unchewed corn people's bodies. So yeah, we'll be the icing on top of the cake shit why they don't chew with corn oh, sprinkles.

Hannah

That's another thing like why does corn come out whole?

Cousin Marc

I don't know you said you, you guys said, you could handle it you can't, oh, I'm handling it?

Hannah

you can't digest corn.

Courtney

I don't know why do we eat it?

Hannah

what nutrients is, if it just comes out?

Courtney

nothing we're. We're stupid, people are stupid. I don't know why do so. Why do we eat it? What nutrients is it if it just comes out whole? Probably nothing. We're stupid. People are stupid. I don't know why do we drink alcohol? It gives us nothing. Next, next.

Cousin Marc

Next.

Hannah

After an NFL career didn't work out, a football player became a serial killer.

Cousin Marc

Yeah, the I-5 killer.

Courtney

That's a quick jump. It's a very big jump. It's like you know what Football didn't work out. Fuck this shit, I'm going to kill people.

Cousin Marc

Yeah. I don't remember his name, but I remember.

Hannah

Randall Woodfield I recognize that name Was both a football star and a criminal. As a teenager, the wide receiver for Newport High School in Oregon in the late 1960s also got arrested on a charge of indecent exposure. Okay, he went on to play for Portland State University and was drafted by the Green Bay Packers, but he was cut during training camp after being repeatedly arrested for indecent exposure.

Courtney

Okay, obviously like he's Green Bay Pack and not pants.

Cousin Marc

He's holding the cheese.

Hannah

Wait, what was that episode that we had where they talked about having the extension? Do you remember that? The balls extension that was in one of these books? Right, the balls extension? Yes, remember, remember, they would purposely put an extension on their balls, so when they sat, I think hannah's making up some kind of medieval balls torture you don't remember because it would talk about the episode. I think rob was talking to her about it yeah, remember they would wear the tunics, but then they would have like yes, yes, it was a medieval thing.

Courtney

Yeah, that was from the other book?

Hannah

Yeah, I don't know, I just brought that up in my brain. Don't ask why.

Cousin Marc

Hannah's got balls on the mind, balls on the mind, that's it.

Hannah

Okay, here we are. In 1975, he returned to Oregon where he was linked to multiple robberies and knife point sexual assaults. From 1980 to 1981, he killed as many as 44 people in the Pacific Northwest.

Courtney

Holy hell, that was one year. He was really mad about the football thing not working out.

Cousin Marc

Yeah, and again you're on the West Coast California, oregon, washington State.

Hannah

There's just more people to kill.

Cousin Marc

That's it.

Hannah

More opportunity, more places to hide them. There's a lot of great forests. That's where Bigfoot hangs out. Oh God, god, love me, some Bigfoot Sasquatch and Ted Bundy all the time.

Courtney

Sorry, okay, chewy, back to the book.

Hannah

Are you sure you're okay with me? Keep reading. I feel bad. I promise you I'm going to be like if I try to read Genealogy websites brought down the Golden State Killer, which I think this is what we did yeah.

Hannah

We talked about that. Between 1974 and 1986, a man known alternatively as the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist, the original Night Stalker and the Golden State Killer, terrorized different areas of Northern California Over three different crime sprees. He committed 120 burglaries, 51 sexual assaults and at least 13 murders. Joseph D'Angelo was identified and arrested in 2018, at which point he delivered a full confession. He was caught by authorities using DNA evidence. His genetic material taken from crime scenes matched with that of members of the D'Angelo family on genealogy research websites and investigators narrowed it down to him.

Courtney

I'm sorry but you're killing people and you didn't think to ask your family at Christmas. Hey, any of you guys doing 23andMe?

Hannah

Anyone doing ancestrycom?

Cousin Marc

Well see, when he was doing the break-ins and the rapes and everything, he would have one person tie the other one up, yeah, and then he'd take plates and put them on top of the male victim.

Courtney

So they would know if they moved.

Cousin Marc

If he moved, the plates would fall and he'd know they'd move.

Courtney

Yeah, he was really well thought out. He was a very interesting. He was an ex-pop, of course he was.

Cousin Marc

Which is why he was able to be eluded for so long, because he was being told what was going on, dear God, and where they were, what, everything, all the investigations were, and he knew what they were going to look for too.

Courtney

I mean that training you can't get out of your head. You know what they're going to look for you. You can't get out of your head. You know what they're gonna look for.

Hannah

You know where they're gonna go first you know how much time you have before they respond. Yeah, damn, hiding in plain sight. Keep going. Yeah, well, let's do one more. Let's see. Okay, the golden state killer waited for his victims in their bedrooms. Yes, I did know that the golden state killer, who killed at least 13 people from 1974 to 1986, wasn't identified until the 2010s as j D'Angelo, a home invader who assaulted women and sometimes killed them. He wouldn't attack people while they slept, but preferred to wait for them to wake up. He'd break into their home, stay at the entrance to their bedroom and tap his knife against the wall until they woke up. I would rather just be attacked in my sleep.

Courtney

Yeah, that's just weird. And that's where you have to have some kind of weird power trip situation, because you just broke in and you're just waiting for them, like imagine you're not in a rush, you're just hanging out, that's it. What if they didn't wake up till morning? Would he leave? I have so many questions? Yeah, because he was escaping in and out of people's windows and stuff.

Cousin Marc

Yeah, I can't remember if it was him or if it was BTK had one of them had gone in and sat there for like three hours and four, four hours, and then the person never showed up, so we left talk about a patient man sitting in a closet, I want to say that was the btk it might have.

Courtney

I think it was because we and we really he was an idiot we didn't really know much about him because we haven't done an episode on him and when we started reading one of these books or well, this book, but it was one of the episodes we did in the beginning there was like three or four that were all about him and we were like we should do an episode on this guy because he's definitely got a lot going on.

Hannah

He was a weirdo yeah, so there's one more on this page, so do you guys care if I just do that one? Okay, serial killer john wangasey also worked as a party clown, which I think oh god, I knew this.

Courtney

I hate clowns. Clowns are the only cannibalism. And clowns, come on the Cs. Well, I have to say.

Hannah

I have to say, though, I loved the newest uh movie, it and it too. I really enjoyed them. I hated the book. I gave that a one star. It was the worst stephen king book I've ever read, but I liked the movies stephen king. If you're listening, we love you no, we love you, stephen king, we love you huge fans just I didn't like the book.

Courtney

I don't know I just don't like clowns casey said, and I quote and here I am quoting.

Cousin Marc

The best they can get me on is having an illegal mortuary.

Courtney

I don't even know what to say to that. I have a comment for everything and you just caught me mid-drink and I'm like I don't have it.

Cousin Marc

I mean he has a point. Most of the bodies were buried in the crawlspace of his house.

Courtney

I don't understand this. Why do people kill people? I'm going to do Keep them in my house. I hate the idea of like a mouse dying in the walls or something and all that decay, and these people are straight up like I'm going to murder one person a month and I'm going to keep them in my house. You think about like they want trophies, right, they take a piece of hair or a piece of jewelry or a sweatshirt or something.

Hannah

I don't know, Take the gloved hand. Oh God.

Courtney

My wrists hurt because they're just picturing the sympathy, pain of having somebody just You're dead.

Creepy Clowns and Killer Dolls

Cousin Marc

I know You're dead. You're not feeling it.

Courtney

I'm feeling it right now, though that's unfortunately the truth. She's in her feels. I'm in my feels.

Hannah

On July 30th 1999, the Kansas City Star made note of how it was National Clown Week with a short article about the heavily made-up children's entertainers. A file photo ran with the piece and it must have been hastily chosen or carelessly approved, because it was a photo of a long-ago convicted and since-executed Chicago-area serial killer, john Wayne Gacy. Yeah, that's really bad. He worked as a birthday party entertainer named Pogo the Clown, between committing more than 30 murders. That's pretty bad. Yeah, you can't just look up clown and just be like, oh, this one looks good, and then it'd be the mark like it's just not, but see he job opening.

Cousin Marc

If you look at all the clowns they all had you know circle makeup, you know everything was smooth lined, yeah all his came to point in different spots.

Courtney

So it was a little more freaky. Pronounced. Yeah, I don't like clowns.

Hannah

Clowns are a no-go for me, but I liked it I did. I like Bill Skarsgård too, which is probably why I like the movie so much.

Courtney

Another boyfriend, a third boyfriend.

Hannah

That's a clown. No, what next? I like the movie so much. Another boyfriend, a third boyfriend.

Courtney

That's a clown. No, what next Chucky? Ew, no, that one creeps me out. I've never seen it though. No me, neither Dolls. I used to have porcelain dolls that my grandmother gave me as a kid, and so I had like walls and walls and walls of porcelain dolls.

Cousin Marc

You did, yeah, so yeah, so dolls are also. Wow for me what happened? What you do is you take the dolls and you take the. You take the eyeballs out, then put little candles inside them.

Courtney

Oh god, that's a terrible love. My friend barbara, I found I was in an abandoned house and I found these little like naked baby, like figurines. They were like maybe not even like half an inch tall. So I sent them to her because she loves like filling vases with baby heads and stuff inside her decor and she's like courtney. I'm sending them back. I made something for you and she made me earrings out of these naked little babies. I have.

Hannah

I've never heard of this friend before yes, barbara, she's like, barbara must be.

Courtney

barbara must be in her 50s or 60s. Um, she loves antiquing, she loves creepy shit. I'll show you her profile. She's great, she's great.

Hannah

You can't wear those at work Naked.

Courtney

Baby little, I'll send a picture of you. I've never worn them because I'm not into the creepy baby doll thing, but I was like, oh thank you, barbara.

Hannah

She's like I made them just for you.

Courtney

Shit. What would you wear those? I have no idea. You can't wear them to work.

Cousin Marc

I've never worn them Halloween party, that's true. Or creepy naked baby doll festival Festival.

Courtney

I could re-gift them to you if you're into that. No, oh there you go.

Cousin Marc

You can hang them up right there in the bookshelf.

Courtney

Oh no, I'll get Cousin Mark's address and I'll send them to him.

Hannah

Don't put a return address. He Don't put a return address in this open. He'll open it in like naked baby earrings and he'll just be like.

Courtney

Courtney's been here. Yeah, aren't you wearing them?

Hannah

Look, they found a new home. I don't know if his wife will like that very much. Maybe she could wear them Like hey, honey, you want to go make your baby.

Courtney

Does she have her ears pierced? You could each wear one.

Cousin Marc

Oh no, I made her sit through the Albert Fish documentary and after that was done she says I'm all set with the child killers. It's not for everybody.

Courtney

No, it's not it's not for everybody. All right, it's not Find another one. Another one, let's see Casey, again, I feel like they do them in clusters. Yeah, should I skip over him? No, finish him. All right, finish him. I don't know where my accent just came from. Finish him, finish him. I'm not saying Mortal Kombat, finish him, mortal.

Cousin Marc

Kombat.

Hannah

Gacy was a prominent and productive man of stature Okay, interesting, john Wayne Gacy is commonly associated with his Pogo the Clown character, but he never killed or lured victims while in his clown makeup and costume that would just be sinful. He performed as a birthday party entertainer on weekends when he wasn't managing Kentucky Fried Chicken or serving on several Chicagoland business and men's organizations. I'm sorry, didn't they say he?

Courtney

was prominent. What do you mean? He's a clown. Yeah, he actually met.

Cousin Marc

Rosaline Carter. He's a clown. Jimmy Carter's wife.

Courtney

Really, she's alive still right.

Hannah

Or she was no they died, she died, she survived the encounter with him. That's what I'm getting at he voted in this election and then died. Yeah, because the flags are still at mass for another five or so days, right?

Cousin Marc

Nah maybe I don't know Something like that.

Hannah

It's a full month that they do it for I think.

Courtney

Yeah, so I think it was like that.

Hannah

Am I right?

Courtney

Another her Kentucky accent just came out.

Cousin Marc

Something like that. I don't know where it came from. She was just talking about Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Hannah

Back to Polo. That's why Some fried chickens.

Cousin Marc

That was Gacy's father-in-law. He owned Kentucky Fried Chickens and he gave them a managerial job.

Hannah

Well, he must know the secret recipe. A manaterial job? Well, he must know the secret recipe. I want to know what the secret recipe is the secret sauce it's blood.

Cousin Marc

It's not campfire sauce, it's blood, it's better than saying it was semen.

Courtney

I mean, I don't know.

Cousin Marc

It's not Chick-fil-A sauce, that's for sure. Ooh, Chick-fil-A sauce.

Courtney

Well, we can't get that because it's Sunday and they're Chick-fil-A sauce, maybe that's what. Well, we can't get that because it's Sunday and they're Chick-fil-A and they're not nice people.

Hannah

No, they have this thing with, like going to church or something.

Courtney

They also have this thing about not liking gay people, and they're closed on Sunday, so it doesn't matter you want me to keep going. Yeah, I don't know when to stop. Why don't we do one more?

Hannah

We're at 25, the Night Stalker.

Why the Night? That's such a like. I feel like if I was going to be a race car driver, my name would be like the Night Stalker. Why race car driving? Well, because I wouldn't be a killer. That would be weird. Well, no, I don't want to be a killer, but like, why wouldn't I be a race car driver? Why would you Drive?

Cousin Marc

fast.

Hannah

But all you do is auto, that's true. See, I wouldn't do like circular racing, though. I'd be like a rally driver, like I'd be like going through the woods. There you go, anyway. It's back to our thing. Okay, a serial killer? What stalker? Okay, a serial killer, known as a night stalker, haunted nighttime los angeles from 1984 to 1985, staging home invasions, sexually assaulting inhabitants, murdering them and leaving satanic symbols behind. He killed 13 people and evaded capture even after the LAPD figured out his identity and plastered the mugshot of Richard Ramirez all over the city. While that unfolded, ramirez was back home in Arizona and he didn't know police were closing in. He came into LA via a Greyhound bus, walked into the convenience store and was spotted by an older woman of Latino descent, teen of descent. Why does that matter? Yeah, I don't know why that's pertinent here, but okay, who saw his picture in a newspaper just minutes earlier and shouted el maton, the killer. Maybe that's why?

Hannah

that's why it was necessary okay ramirez ran away, but after multiple people tried to stop him, he was taken down by an angry mob.

Courtney

Citizens arrest pretty much, yeah, right in the middle of the road now has anybody ever noticed that these stories it's always, it's never like took public transportation, it's always a greyhound every single time it's a greyhound bus and like I just find that so funny.

Courtney

No matter where we're talking about within the states, it's always a greyhound bus. I'm gonna start taking data, I'm gonna get a whiteboard for over in my area and I'm gonna start doing a greyhound check. Let let's do it. There's already one on there. Let's do it. I'm going to have whiteboards all over Hannah's wall in here.

Hannah

Well, that's soon going to be full with another bookcase. That's what those things are, is it this Yep On that side?

Courtney

I need to buy a house so Rob can build me a bookcase.

Cousin Marc

Courtney

Hannah

Courtney

Yeah, I need to have time to buy a house.

Hannah

Yes, yes, that's more of what I was going to try to get.

Cousin Marc

We're too busy incorporating companies. God yeah.

Courtney

It was one of those things where I was like this is either going to be really brave or really stupid. It was both.

Cousin Marc

that says it's only stupid if it doesn't work.

Courtney

Well, that's the reason why it's partially both Stories for another day. Hopefully it'll have all turned itself around by the next time we talk. All right, I'm going to stop our recording here. Wait, should we say goodbye?

Hannah

Oh, I'm not going to stop our recording here. I feel like we should say goodbye to me. You spent like two and a half hours on your list, well, I was going to say goodbye to him.

Courtney
