00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:22,600
Hey everybody.
Its serial killer country.
2
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:25,700
My name is Brittany.
Ransom, my name is Brian jr.
3
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,900
And this is what Killers get
caught.
4
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,400
A podcast devoted to deep dives
into the lives and psyches The
5
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,400
Killers.
We love to learn about each
6
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,200
week, Brian.
And I find a True Crime Story
7
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,000
that resonated with us and then
I discussed one, well-known or
8
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,100
lesser known killer, I go deeper
into their childhood lives
9
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:45,600
methodology, and most
importantly how and why they got
10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,200
caught and then we get a little
spooky, we learned something
11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,800
about Cryptids or the
supernatural.
12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,100
Keep it kind of light after the
lately very depressing stories
13
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:59,900
that I've been talking about
Yes.
14
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:06,500
Yeah, that's really the general
consistency of things lately and
15
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,500
it's not going to change
tonight.
16
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:11,200
If you've clicked on this
podcast, you already know what
17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,600
this is about.
Yeah, we're sorry.
18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,100
Yeah, it's it's heavy but uh I
guess there's sort of a
19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,300
reasoning that goes along with
it.
20
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:26,400
I don't don't you dare.
Don't you dare that's have a
21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,000
greater conversational situation
but before we even get into the
22
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:37,700
subject of tonight's podcast,
let's instead talk about this
23
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:40,800
week in True Crime.
Something really cool was not
24
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,600
cool.
It's such a weird thing when
25
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,000
stuff like this happens So, I
don't know if you know who Fred
26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,600
and rosemary West are Brian.
No, I did, Kanye West's parents
27
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,700
and now they were a killer
couple from the UK who were
28
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:58,000
particularly horrible to young
girls, including some of their
29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,200
own children.
But in the 1960s, there was a
30
00:02:05,208 --> 00:02:11,700
girl who suspected of being one
of their victims and she has
31
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:16,000
been missing since 68 and
they've never been able to find
32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,100
it Fred West, they think that
Fred Killed her because he also
33
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:23,000
did some gross stuff separate
from his wife sometimes they
34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,500
work together.
Sometimes I work separate very
35
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:28,800
of course, Ian Brady Myra.
Hey yeah.
36
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:34,300
Funny enough the to both Myra
and rosemary were in the same
37
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:36,600
prison.
And there were rumors that they
38
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,900
were well robbers.
Yeah, yeah.
39
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:45,300
And also enemies.
So yeah, this is the same woman.
40
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:52,700
Well, police Nice.
Okay, so it's it's the city in
41
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:59,400
Gloucester, Gloucester
Gloucester UK and they think
42
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,100
that they have found the bones
of one of his victims.
43
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,800
Okay.
Who has been missing since 1968
44
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,700
like all his victims were young
women?
45
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:13,600
They both had very weird
fixations on brutalizing women
46
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,900
in many different ways Rape
torture bondage, you name it.
47
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,800
They were typically buried in
the cellar of their home and
48
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,500
Glock is Stir which that was
referred to in the media.
49
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:31,900
As like the House of Horrors.
They were charged in 1994 and
50
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:37,700
Fred hung himself while he was
in prison in 1995, to avoid
51
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,400
being charged with the nine
women who were discovered on
52
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,900
their property.
Of course.
53
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:43,800
Yeah.
But yeah.
54
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,500
So that's the news that's like
This is today.
55
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:49,100
So they're thinking it might be
her body.
56
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,000
They think it might be her body
May 17 21 like this is happening
57
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:55,500
this week.
Nice.
58
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:57,000
This is like pipe quite
possibly.
59
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,700
I'm like the first time but
yeah.
60
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:04,800
They have some
ground-penetrating cameras and
61
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,800
they appear to have discovered
this like dark blue material
62
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:13,400
that they think matched the coat
of her name was Mary bastogne.
63
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,700
She was 15 when she went
missing.
64
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:23,200
Oh, and yeah.
This is 39.
65
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,100
Well, it's this comes days after
this, like police force of like
66
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:31,400
39, different cops, led by a
team of archaeologists began.
67
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,600
Analyzing the basement of a cafe
and God caster, which is about
68
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,300
half a mile from the West's
house.
69
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:46,400
And essentially, Like West
worked there when it was being
70
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,200
built.
So they think that he might have
71
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,900
stored that's at this point.
They're like, well, maybe some
72
00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:54,800
of the bodies, we haven't been
able to find from him, are ones
73
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,300
that he might have buried at
some of the locations where he
74
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,500
worked right when he was a
builder.
75
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:05,000
And that's not exactly something
crazy.
76
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,300
Because there was a man in
California who they think buried
77
00:05:08,300 --> 00:05:13,300
bodies under highways, that he
worked on in the 70s and That
78
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:16,300
California has discussed the
idea of trying to find those
79
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:22,200
bodies but also that the costs
but is so prohibitive that they
80
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,000
might just leave them there.
So, I mean, this isn't entirely
81
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,100
in heard of, but yeah, they had
cameras that have seen like a
82
00:05:28,108 --> 00:05:30,500
navy blue coat that she was
wearing and they definitely
83
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:32,300
think that they're seeing human
bones there.
84
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,700
So I mean, they're at this
point.
85
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:37,300
Now they're going to be looking
at doing like a major excavation
86
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:38,100
right?
Yeah.
87
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:43,400
But yeah.
And of course, his wife is
88
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,600
still, of course, in jail.
Yeah.
89
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,700
She's she's only 67.
So she got plenty of years to be
90
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:55,500
in prison and be dealing with
the crimes that she committed
91
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:58,400
and yeah, that's good.
But yeah, it's like I was really
92
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,600
excited when that popped up on
my feet today I was like oh crap
93
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:05,700
Serial killer do is we have it
had some new serial, killer news
94
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:10,000
and months.
It's gonna be on every podcast
95
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,100
that any of you listen to this
week.
96
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:17,400
That's how like hype most of us
are going to be about But what
97
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:23,100
did you come across this week?
Okay, let me ask you a question.
98
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:31,600
Sure.
So for example, How would, how
99
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,500
would you go about getting
followers or you have followers
100
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:40,000
on your Tick?
Tock, like, if like, if you had
101
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,100
to go out and like, I don't
know, like, if you were like low
102
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:47,000
on views and follows, how would
you Brittany?
103
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:49,400
Go out and find followers for
Tick-Tock.
104
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,900
I, I wouldn't go out and invite
Tic-Tac followers because I
105
00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:57,600
would be, I'm strangely shy in
person.
106
00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:02,800
You don't say so, The only thing
I know how to do is what I do
107
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:09,300
right now which is make daily
content and hope hope somebody
108
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:10,500
likes it.
Okay?
109
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:15,400
Okay.
Well, there is a woman in
110
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:21,000
Florida, Miami who posed as a
student to promote her Instagram
111
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,600
page.
If you ain't saw this, somebody
112
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,400
posted this on Twitter and it
showed up in our feet of like
113
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,300
People who we follow on Twitter,
like one of those crime news
114
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:37,400
aggregate blog thing.
Yeah, I didn't click on it.
115
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:39,200
Please tell me more about this
lady.
116
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:42,700
All right.
So apparently she's 28 years old
117
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:46,600
and she wanted to promote her
Instagram page and she attempted
118
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,000
to blend in with students at a
Miami area high school.
119
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:52,900
Wasn't there?
A Drew Barrymore movie where she
120
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:55,600
went back to the high school?
Yeah she was a reporter was
121
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,600
reporter.
Yeah but still and everything
122
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,400
kiss.
We're having right?
123
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:01,000
Right.
That's it.
124
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,500
That's get something like that,
done.
125
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:04,000
Like that with this.
Good enough?
126
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,800
Yeah.
But yeah, this happened.
127
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,700
I guess, I last Monday.
Wow, so yeah, sure.
128
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:17,200
It landed her in jail.
So she's facing charges of
129
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,100
burglary and it fearing with a
school function and resisting
130
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:26,200
arrest without violence.
So let me read this.
131
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:31,100
So she started hitting at her
name, is who I can't pronounce
132
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:33,299
that last name.
Goodness gracious.
133
00:08:33,299 --> 00:08:37,200
Oh, it's her name is Audrey.
Francisco!
134
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,299
Whitney.
Yeah, I'm going with that.
135
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:43,700
Yes.
Uh-huh.
136
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:47,600
So apparently she started
handing out pantless at you
137
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,000
know, for her Instagram.
Okay.
138
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,800
You can't do that.
That's not how you.
139
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,500
Yes, not cool.
Can you imagine being like, what
140
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:56,500
is the equivalent of when we
were in high school of the
141
00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:59,500
person who hands Pamphlets about
their Instagram recruiters,
142
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:02,600
these look like that.
It's even worse because that's a
143
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,100
hey, sign up for potentially die
for college.
144
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:08,700
Yeah, no I'm trying to think of
like what would have been
145
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:12,500
equally as uncool as handing out
a pamphlet for your social
146
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:16,600
media.
Oh, putting up flyers and I feel
147
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,000
like, yeah.
A flyer for a party.
148
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,500
Yeah.
At a high school.
149
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:22,600
That would have been like
cringy.
150
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,000
Let me tell you for like, we had
this one.
151
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,300
Like and Senior year, right?
Okay.
152
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:29,600
So seeing you here, I'm just
like comedian now.
153
00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:32,300
Okay, this is my Persona.
I've taken along because I'm
154
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:37,400
funny as guy anyway, I think
you're funny.
155
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:40,900
Oh, my one teacher, she
suggested that I like start an
156
00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:45,200
improv group of people.
So I put up flyers for like
157
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,000
improv, okay.
That's different cause that's
158
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,900
like a school function if our
school functions but can you
159
00:09:50,908 --> 00:09:54,100
imagine was like there's gonna
be a rager at Brian's house.
160
00:09:54,100 --> 00:10:00,500
Here's a flyer like Say those
kinds of words and no, no, I
161
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:03,100
just pulled like a total like
80s phrase, out of nowhere.
162
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,200
I'm not that old y'all.
We didn't have ragers but I'm
163
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,300
just saying that's how the
equivalent of leg you you
164
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:12,900
handing someone a flyer to come
to your party tomorrow?
165
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:15,200
Yeah.
It feels awkward like like hey
166
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,100
come to my party.
Hey come to my party.
167
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:22,200
He's like listen you can come
don't tell anybody else and then
168
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,300
of course everybody shows up
because no one could keep a
169
00:10:24,308 --> 00:10:28,600
secret in high school.
This is how that goes, yeah,
170
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,600
sure trip.
But yeah, she snuck on the
171
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,300
campus at 8:30 a.m. she had a
black backpack, and she carried
172
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:40,800
a skateboard.
She walking the whole shoe
173
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,400
recording herself as she was
doing this.
174
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:47,000
She had a black backpack.
If she cares game for, she act
175
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,700
like a total like I guess that's
what she taught high schoolers.
176
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:52,800
I don't, how old is she 28 28?
Come on now.
177
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:54,900
No, no, no.
Even when that cause that's only
178
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:58,600
a couple years younger than Us
and like I don't nobody was
179
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,000
wearing not even when we were
Highschool.
180
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,300
No, nobody was you.
I mean okay.
181
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:05,300
Skateboard.
Yes, very 90s.
182
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:09,000
Like, okay, when we were in
school, people dress like
183
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,100
skaters.
Yeah, but they didn't like skate
184
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:12,500
through the hallways of the
school.
185
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:16,200
That's very like movie 90s
movies Centric.
186
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:18,400
But like, yeah, sure.
Like people wore like skater
187
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,700
clothes, like, one of my
co-workers, got his like, very
188
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:23,200
cool like skater Vibes.
Like, I'm like, this is
189
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,800
obviously, like, who he is
outside of work and I'm a, you
190
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,000
know, Bryant.
I'm a giant fruit Pop-Tart of a
191
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,400
person.
This is Lisa.
192
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,100
It like, you know, yet Lisa
Frank.
193
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,000
These are frankly staff Rankin,
Miss frazil.
194
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,900
That's really what I work with
as you so you know like we all
195
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:42,800
have little bits of that like
from our high school identities,
196
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,200
you do who we are now.
But like I don't think even
197
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,000
people who were skateboarders
like Tony Hawk.
198
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,900
He is a skateboarder, he's not
like oh let me walk through this
199
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:55,500
area with my board on my arm
like it.
200
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,200
But yeah.
So apparently let's see.
201
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,800
What is this?
A school security tracked her
202
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,800
down?
As she wandered hallways while
203
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,600
students were in their
classrooms and she was heading
204
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,800
towards the registration office
but she did not enter instead
205
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,500
she continued walking through
the hallways talking to students
206
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:22,100
news outlets reported.
So she never went to any
207
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:23,700
classes.
No, no, of course not.
208
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,200
You have to act like you're
actually in high school You're
209
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,300
trying to act like you're in
high school. 28.
210
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:29,600
Come on now.
I'm free.
211
00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:31,600
I mean she could probably like
at 18 years old.
212
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:33,300
I need to I need to know what
she looks like.
213
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:35,000
Now I don't think there's a
picture of her.
214
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,400
I could have sworn.
It was a picture.
215
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,900
Okay, not on this one.
I got this one off the
216
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:39,200
Associated.
Press press.
217
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:45,400
But as she kept walking security
officers, still try to catch up
218
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,600
with her.
You know, that's bad.
219
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,500
That's like it's terrible
because Like that's shorter.
220
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:54,800
I don't know.
Like nowadays, you know, what?
221
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:55,900
School shooters and stuff like
that.
222
00:12:55,900 --> 00:12:59,200
You can't just be like I have
like little logins.
223
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,800
Exact, thanks to open doors,
like you can't just be walking
224
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,000
in the schools like that.
Like, that's not okay.
225
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:07,600
What'd she look like you could
give me a face.
226
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:09,400
She looks like a mother of
three.
227
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:12,400
Oh, come on.
Yeah, the guy high school
228
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,800
student Advocate teenager.
Come on.
229
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,400
Oh my god.
Listen and I get it.
230
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,400
Hispanic and black people aged
very well.
231
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,100
But, huh?
Honey, you look like you have at
232
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:27,300
least one or two babies.
Yeah.
233
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:30,500
Apparently the school system is
going through.
234
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,900
They're going to be reviewing
how she got into the school.
235
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
She got onto the property, you
know, and was able to evade
236
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,300
security settings brand, they
don't they don't run.
237
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:46,500
They just kind of jump my God.
It but yeah, it was just like
238
00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:49,100
it's hilarious.
And then finally authorities
239
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:50,700
tracked, her down for her
Instagram page.
240
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,200
Interested her of Monday last
Monday at her house.
241
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,600
Oh man.
So she got away from the
242
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,200
security officers in school but
she got she went home and then
243
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,800
he found her anyway through her
Instagram that she.
244
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,800
You know, she was trying to
promote.
245
00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:08,300
I want to see her Instagram.
I bet it's Wack.
246
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,100
He kind of look up her face, I
don't know.
247
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,700
I bet you if I pulled this up on
Reddit, somebody found her over.
248
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:16,600
I think about it now she
probably has like a million
249
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,500
followers.
I feel like she probably has a
250
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:23,000
bunch of Of gems ears and her
comment roast in her.
251
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:23,700
Yeah.
Probably.
252
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:26,400
They just roast all of us.
I mean, that's like she did have
253
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,400
a side part though.
Oh she does see we have a side.
254
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,600
Part was a side parting.
No, it was.
255
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:35,100
My parts are bad and so are
skinny jeans.
256
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:42,400
Damn her damn Millennials.
Then our what you gonna do?
257
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,400
Let us live our lives.
I'm good.
258
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,600
That's a thing.
People are like, I'm like, this
259
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,700
is our I hate to say and that
situation that happened with
260
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:56,500
Millennials versus Zoomers.
It was people were like side
261
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:59,200
parts of skinny jeans.
I'm like, this seems like a
262
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,200
thing that like, I hate to say
it this way, but it seems like a
263
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,100
thing that like, the white
people are arguing about because
264
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:07,900
amongst like, the minority
community.
265
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:11,100
No one's like trash talking like
Zoomers.
266
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:13,500
Know, we're more.
Like, I like your style.

like Good Vibes in our
269
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:20,600
community.
I don't know why.
270
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,800
I like all the white Zoomers and
Millennials are fighting right
271
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,100
now.
Y'all need to stop.
272
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:25,800
Oh no.
I know.
273
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,300
I know those gen Z kids.
They do love my hair now so you
274
00:15:29,300 --> 00:15:32,700
have magnificent hair.
I do have wonderful beautiful
275
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:35,100
hair.
It's a dollar to touch by the
276
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:40,600
way, you better charge one.
That's right, no paid a mick.
277
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,000

So let's get through this
298
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,000
horrible story, you talking
about, it's not okay there's
299
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,400
just a little bit of
horribleness which is, you know,
300
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,200
the whole parent killing their
children aspect.
301
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:37,700
But so this happened when I was
probably this would have been
302
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:40,400
before I started High School.
Okay.
303
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,200
This sort of been like spring of
a, the grade for me, you say I
304
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,000
you mean we don't know.
I wasn't sure if I could
305
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,600
remember.
I was like technically a year
306
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:51,900
ahead.
And because I have a late
307
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:53,000
birthday.
Dear me?
308
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:53,600
Yes.
Yes.
309
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,600
It's a year of school but we're
like Danny of the same age.
310
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,100
Yeah, but yeah.
So I'm just going to, I'm going
311
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:05,100
to set a stage And I'll go into
more about these people.
312
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:07,400
Okay?
So it was approximately 10 a.m.
313
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,000
June 20th 2001, A Man, by the
name of Rusty Gates.
314
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Gets a phone call from his wife,
he'd only been at work for about
315
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,400
an hour.
She just said, you need to come
316
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,100
home confused.
He was just like what's going on
317
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,700
and she's like, you need to come
home, it's time, I did it.
318
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:29,200
He knew that she'd been
struggling recently and dealing
319
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,800
with her depression and so he
asked her again, what's wrong?
320
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:41,000
And she said it's the children.
And the NASA engineer realized
321
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:46,400
something was very wrong.
And he said, which one and which
322
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,300
Andrea Yates responded?
All of them.
323
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,500
Oh, when he reached his house,
15 minutes later, they were
324
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:57,400
ambulances.
And police cars at his home in
325
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,300
Houston, Texas.
A Time article said that when he
326
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:06,300
wasn't allowed into the house,
he went to the back door and
327
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:08,100
screamed.
How could you do this?
328
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,800
Collapse in the yard and the
fetal position pounding, the
329
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,000
ground as his wife.
Andrea Yates was led away in
330
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,800
handcuffs today.
I am discussing a crime.
331
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,300
Like I said, I didn't happen
that long ago for both you and I
332
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:25,500
the case surrounding Andrea
Gates and the murder of her five
333
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:31,800
children on June 20th, 2001.
It was a bit of a landmark case
334
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,900
and trial surrounding the
discussion of real.
335
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:38,800
Mental health issues for mothers
in a state known to Be very
336
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,100
aggressive in handling it
handing out Capital sentences
337
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:49,300
for murder but like every week
before I discuss the crime and
338
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:54,300
inevitably the lengthy and
convoluted trial, let's just
339
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:57,800
talk about Andrea Yates and who
she was before this day.
340
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:07,000
I found her strangely
sympathetic and I didn't expect
341
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,900
to you, okay?
I heard she's born Andrea Pia.
342
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:16,100
Kennedy on July 2nd, 1964 and
Hallsville Texas.
343
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:22,000
She was born to German immigrant
kuta, jutta, Karen Koller and
344
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,300
Andrew and Mike.
Kennedy who is second generation
345
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:28,400
Irish that you had five children
and Andrea was their youngest
346
00:20:29,300 --> 00:20:32,300
They were a devout Catholic
Family and Andrea was very
347
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:36,800
active in church and Charities.
As a young child, she was
348
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,600
incredibly considered to be
very, very smart.
349
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:46,900
But her troubles with her mental
health began, rather Young Some
350
00:20:46,900 --> 00:20:50,300
people speculate that it's kind
of like what happens with a lot
351
00:20:50,300 --> 00:20:53,100
of teenagers.
You're very smart driven,
352
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:56,300
super-active.
You feel this pressure to be
353
00:20:56,300 --> 00:21:01,500
perfect?
She was in like the National
354
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:03,900
Honor Society.
She graduated from high school
355
00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:08,000
as for valedictorian and of
course, doing really knows when
356
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,400
you're struggling with that.
Kind of stuff that behind that
357
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,800
like perfect facade is somebody
who's struggling to look perfect
358
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,200
and also be perfect.
Right?
359
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,600
Right.
So she did struggle with both
360
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,900
bulimia and depression and
actually was suicidal.
361
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:26,100
When she was in high school, she
did not receive treatment for
362
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:29,300
any of these issues while she
was a child and very much
363
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:33,800
endured a lot. a lot of these
things in silence, I can't say
364
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:40,900
that at that time in our history
that there would have been a
365
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:42,800
whole lot of resources for her
either.
366
00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:47,900
No.
After High School, she applied
367
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:51,500
to the University of Houston to
become a nurse, perhaps kind of
368
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:53,200
free from some of that parental
stress.
369
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,800
She didn't struggle as much with
her mental health in college.
370
00:21:56,300 --> 00:21:59,100
She finished her program and
just two years and accepted a
371
00:21:59,108 --> 00:22:02,600
job at the MD Anderson Cancer,
Center caring for cancer
372
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,900
patients.
It was part of the medical
373
00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:08,100
facility, that was attached to
her school and she would work
374
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:11,500
there her entire career as a
nurse from 1986 to 1994.
375
00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:16,400
As somebody who had really
serious body image issue, she
376
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,300
didn't really date a whole lot
but she met her future, husband,
377
00:22:20,300 --> 00:22:25,400
Rusty Gates, and the summer of
1989, she was swimming at the
378
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,900
pool in her apartment complex
and he saw her and liked her as
379
00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:32,200
many young men are want to do of
course.
380
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,700
Yes, they move it together.
Fairly shortly after that, a
381
00:22:36,700 --> 00:22:42,500
couple months later, and Rusty.
Said that his name is Russell,
382
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:44,900
but I will continue to call him
Rusty as they do.
383
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:50,000
And all of the books that I read
on this, He said that she was
384
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,300
always very uncomfortable being
naked around him, she would get
385
00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:56,500
dressed and undressed in the
closet and she never seemed to
386
00:22:56,500 --> 00:23:01,200
enjoy sex.
Some people say that this is due
387
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,100
to her Catholic upbringing and
you know, extremely religious
388
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:07,800
families can be very overbearing
when it comes to young women.
389
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,400
Sexualities other people have
brought up that this could also
390
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,400
be a symptom of mental illness.
That was also overlooked rather
391
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,500
early in her.
I guess her young, adult life
392
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,200
personally, I can't imagine
feeling very sexy when your
393
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,700
boyfriend is into the religious
stuff that Rusty was in two.
394
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
And I know I need to go into
this because Shapes who this
395
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,400
woman becomes so Rusty.
Was a big follower of this
396
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,100
preacher named Michael warneke
who was a traveling preacher.
397
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,200
That was big into like the fire
and brimstone, you know?
398
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,700
And of course like it's hard to
know with all the different
399
00:23:47,700 --> 00:23:50,000
preachers like this in the 80s
and 90s.
400
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,300
Like this was a big deal for a
long time.
401
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:56,000
They were like be on TV on
Sunday and those big mega
402
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,200
churches.
Those kinds of people in the
403
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,400
freaking, like, turd something.
Does mega church creators.
404
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,200
I don't think we're in a key
created like a mega church but
405
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,600
he did have the same kind of
fundamental most views.
406
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,400
So Michael and Rusty met during
the 80s and the two started
407
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,700
writing letters back and forth
to each other and they kind of
408
00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:17,900
became sort of religious
friends.
409
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:25,100
And we're Nicky had some very
horrible views about women.
410
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:30,500
He preached that women were evil
witches and they were born evil
411
00:24:30,500 --> 00:24:34,800
because of Eve that women
shouldn't educate themselves.
412
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,300
They should never work outside
of the home and should never use
413
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:40,400
birth control.
Wives should submit to their
414
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,500
husbands fully.
And you know that old adage we
415
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:45,800
were taught as kids, children
should be seen and not heard
416
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,700
totally believe in that too.
Uh-huh.
417
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,500
And if you needed to keep your
child silent.
418
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,000
Absolutely.
You know what's that Fraser?
419
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,400
You don't spare the rod spoil
the child.
420
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,900
Yeah that that was part of his
ideology to.
421
00:24:57,900 --> 00:24:58,800
Yeah.
Opens.
422
00:24:59,700 --> 00:25:03,900
So Rusty comes into this
relationship with this intense
423
00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:08,500
fundamentalist, Christian Vibe
and introduces Andrea to it.
424
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,200
And strangely enough, the two of
them spend like a lot of their
425
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,900
free time just studying the
Bible and praying when they live
426
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:18,000
together.
Rusty, was very serious about
427
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,400
his religion, his relationship
with Andrea and so he actually
428
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,900
introduced her to warneke
weirdly enough.
429
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,100
We're in a key, gave them solid
advice and was like, you
430
00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:33,500
shouldn't get married quickly,
which was apparently, a lot of
431
00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:35,900
the advice he gave to young
couples, he met on college
432
00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:38,600
campuses, which is so wild
because I was, like, here's
433
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,200
this, And with this horrible
crazy, like religious message,
434
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,200
given actual dollops of good
advice here and there.
435
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,100
Yeah, like know, when you are
22, you definitely probably
436
00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:57,700
shouldn't get married.
No, don't do it Andrea.
437
00:25:57,700 --> 00:25:59,900
And Rusty, did not take the
preachers advice and instead it
438
00:25:59,908 --> 00:26:01,100
got married.
Two years later.
439
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:04,400
April 17th 1983.
Well doing it very quickly, they
440
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,800
waited two years for them.
I think this was probably, as I
441
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:11,800
They waited as long as they
possibly could, as long as they
442
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,600
want, yeah, they're like this.
Give us some time, okay.
443
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,800
Okay, you good.
Yeah, they were, like, you know,
444
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,900
he's like, wait, longer they
were, like, no, we had this.
445
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:22,100
We waited long enough to years
is long enough who enter our
446
00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:24,100
lives to be together.
Come on now.
447
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:26,700
But, you know, what's so funny?
I went to a Catholic High School
448
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:30,400
and I distinctly have a very
solid memory of one of my
449
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,300
religion classes.
I think it was sophomore year
450
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:35,400
for some reason.
My one religion teacher like
451
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,200
went off on a rant about how you
shouldn't, just get married to
452
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,700
have sex.
And one of the boys in my class
453
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:45,400
raised his hand and he was just
like, then, why get married.
454
00:26:45,700 --> 00:26:48,900
Ha ha ha and mind you.
We were 15 and 16 years old.
455
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,500
So, of course, in a 15 and 16
roll brain, that makes sense.
456
00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:55,100
But I have a friend who's very
religious and she goes on like
457
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:57,500
Christian Mingle and stuff.
And there are a lot of people
458
00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:01,300
with this mindset, like I just
have to get married so I can
459
00:27:01,300 --> 00:27:04,200
just start having sex.
Yeah, because it's not.
460
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,600
Okay for me to do it outside of
that.
461
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,900
So like maybe that was part.
Out of this to like why they
462
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:13,500
were rushing and why he was
telling so many of his
463
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:16,500
followers, like, don't rush into
this, they'll be plenty of time
464
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:20,000
for you, do all the things you
want to do in your life and
465
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,200
then, you know, people are just
like, well, I can't do what I
466
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,700
want, ha ha ha, because God,
what was it?
467
00:27:24,708 --> 00:27:28,000
Let's be because, yeah, I'll be
a sinner and go to hell.
468
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,900
Oh, no.
Because like, they literally
469
00:27:29,900 --> 00:27:34,100
told their wedding guests that
they wanted as many babies as
470
00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:37,000
nature would allow season.
That's order thinking about,
471
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,700
that's all they were thinking of
give me.
472
00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:42,700
That's why I said that, of
course, now, married to Rusty,
473
00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:45,500
Andrea, quits her job as a
nurse, and she gets immediately
474
00:27:45,500 --> 00:27:49,700
pregnant with their son.
Noah, he was born February 1994
475
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:55,900
and almost immediately after his
birth, Andrea begins, having
476
00:27:55,900 --> 00:27:59,100
visions of knives and stabbing
her loved ones.
477
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,300
She also heard voices but she
kept this to herself, Down to
478
00:28:04,300 --> 00:28:07,600
one income, they have to move
from their nice four-bedroom
479
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,000
house in Houston to a trailer in
Seminole, Florida for a temp
480
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,600
job, that Rusty took and like
this is the, the not smartness
481
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,200
of this whole concept of the man
needs to be the provider.
482
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,300
Exactly.
I absolutely support the idea
483
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:26,900
that a man as a provider.
If he's got the job to provide
484
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:28,600
for this family.
Exactly.
485
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:32,300
And I'm just like, you going to
make me, give up my job and now
486
00:28:32,300 --> 00:28:35,000
we broke.
This is terrible.
487
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,300
And as soon as you like it don't
have kids.
488
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:38,900
Thank you.
All right, you got all this
489
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:40,500
money.
You got to spend on this now but
490
00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:43,200
either way.
Exactly, from four bedroom to a
491
00:28:43,208 --> 00:28:44,000
trailer.
Come on.
492
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,300
I mean it's nothing wrong.
Trailers at all because there's
493
00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:47,700
some nice.
That's a nice one.
494
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,800
Oh, hell yeah.
I know leopard trailers are
495
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,400
nicer than what I live in but
now I Like they move into this
496
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,500
really actually, from what I
understand the trailer was
497
00:28:57,500 --> 00:28:59,100
smaller than the apartment.
We are in right now.
498
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,700
Oh damn.
And this apartment is 410 square
499
00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:07,800
feet and it's a studio.
Oh, so the one that you're in
500
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,300
right now, we're yeah.
There's was 350.
501
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,400
That that trailer and she had
two more babies.
502
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:17,700
No.
Yes, she did.
503
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,500
Two more sense.
I December of 1995.
504
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:26,700
John was born, and then
September of 1887 Paul was born,
505
00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:33,300
so that's Mom.
A toddler.
506
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,500
A baby and a newborn and Dad and
an apartment smaller than where
507
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:43,400
we are right now, they all sleep
in the same bed, I've had one
508
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,000
person, stay the night with me
over the like weekend here and
509
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,800
it's cramped.
Like you like one more than one
510
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,800
day and all of a sudden, I'm
like, you need to go home.
511
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,000
I just can't imagine two adults
and three kids in this space.
512
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:02,700
No, just imagine having to sleep
in the same bed, kids kicking
513
00:30:02,700 --> 00:30:05,100
your ribs and your backing like
smacking you in the face when
514
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:07,000
you're trying to sleep.
What I live with my sister, I
515
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,600
used to watch like we work
different shifts.
516
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,700
So I work during the day and she
worked at night and her son, I
517
00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:17,000
would like sleep, I would like
lay in bed next to him.
518
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,400
I could never sleep comfortably.
You want this baby next to me?
519
00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:24,100
I was convinced.
He was going to fall out the Ed.
520
00:30:24,100 --> 00:30:26,100
I was going roll over him and
kill him.
521
00:30:26,300 --> 00:30:28,300
Like something was going to
happen, that's bad.
522
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:30,800
It was constantly me like
nodding off for a couple minutes
523
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,400
and then waking up and looking
at them.
524
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,600
And then fall back asleep and
waking up at looking.
525
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:42,400
It was the most unknown like
restful sleep of my life
526
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,700
watching.
This Nike six-month-old baby,
527
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:48,700
they were hurt.
You believe me and he was hot,
528
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:51,100
he's always hot.
I really have any would somehow
529
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:53,000
may.
I should take up like half of a
530
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,000
full size bed.
Yeah, are so small.
531
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,300
What is wrong with you?
Yeah, that's what they do.
532
00:30:57,700 --> 00:31:04,000
But back on to Andrea and Rusty,
they kept up with the war in a
533
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,100
key family through letters and
videos.
534
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:11,200
Um, and for some reason, Michael
Wernicke kept diagnosing Andrea
535
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,800
as evil and telling her that her
life was cursed.
536
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,000
I really couldn't find a reason
for this and like I went through
537
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,700
a lot of sources.
I've heard two different books
538
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:24,900
for this but then you say you
said, well women are evil and he
539
00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:27,500
did say all women are even, but
like I felt like it was almost
540
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:32,500
like Like personal. like I can
only imagine what kind of effect
541
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:35,400
this must have been having on
Andrea because Michael is like
542
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,800
the leader of this little church
and he set himself up to be like
543
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,500
the voice of God and she's
getting constant messages from
544
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:50,500
the voice of God saying that God
hates you like So, 98 the gates
545
00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:53,800
family visits the war in a keys
in Miami, because Michaels gonna
546
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,400
sell his motor home.
And by motor home, I mean, a
547
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,100
Greyhound bus that he converted
into a little apartment to
548
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:03,200
travel across the country and
preach from.
549
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:08,300
They stay there for about a week
and during that time, Michael
550
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:13,800
and Rusty got into a fight in
another stunning bit of wisdom.
551
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:18,100
Michael said that Rusty was
neglecting his family for his
552
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:21,900
Year and sacrificing his wife
and children.
553
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,800
Hmm, Rusty.
Did not agree that leaving
554
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,000
Andrea with a newborn toddler
and preschool or every day in a
555
00:32:29,008 --> 00:32:30,700
tiny house.
Was it all bad?
556
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,900
No, not at all and Rusty.
Michael kind of stopped being
557
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:39,200
friendly after this, russki
Rusty, like talked about this
558
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,200
later on and like said that they
like drifted apart, but it seems
559
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,600
like he wasn't open to even a
religious figure telling him
560
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,600
that he need to be a better
husband and father.
561
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:52,700
Oh my God.
So you weren't trying to change.
562
00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:55,300
You just want to have kids and
just keep doing what you're
563
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:57,700
doing.
Basically after they bought the
564
00:32:57,708 --> 00:33:02,100
mobile home, they moved back to
Houston to put it, simply Andrea
565
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:06,400
was overwhelmed.
She had to home-school the
566
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,600
oldest boy.
Breastfeed keep a toddler
567
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:13,100
occupied feed.
Her family, wash cloth diapers
568
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:15,900
to save money.
She was also caring for her own
569
00:33:15,900 --> 00:33:18,800
father who had Alzheimer's Oh
no.
570
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,600
Friends of their family of the
family.
571
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,000
Tried to tell Rusty.
This is too much for one person
572
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,600
to handle, but he wouldn't
listen and he was just like,
573
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,300
this is Andrews job as a wife
and a mother.
574
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,200
Well yeah, they were still
following the Wernicke's church
575
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,900
and Andrea was still receiving
guidance from them that she need
576
00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:41,200
to beat her children more often.
And that, like, normal child
577
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,600
behavior was disrespectful.
They also were consistently
578
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,000
telling her that like not
hitting her kids.
579
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,800
Was damning them to Hell.
Well then I guess my kids are
580
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:58,100
going to have right Andrea had
therefore child Luca February of
581
00:33:58,100 --> 00:34:01,700
1989.
When Luke was four months old
582
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:06,000
and recalled Rusty and was just
like I can't take this when
583
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,199
Rusty got home.
She was sitting in the corner
584
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:11,600
like in an almost catatonic
State she'd been chewing on her
585
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,300
fingers for hours.
Rusty was like you know we
586
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:18,000
should do we're gonna take a
nice family walk on the beach.
587
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:21,900
Beach, that'll fix, you know and
um, seeing as Rusty's, not at
588
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:24,100
all, a mental health,
professional the next day, she
589
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:28,600
attempted to kill herself for
the first time she was admitted
590
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,500
to hospice.
She, I think she tried to use
591
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:34,100
her father's medicine to have an
overdose.
592
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,400
She was admitted to a hospital
and prescribed antidepressants.
593
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,000
This was the first time in her
life that she was diagnosed with
594
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,500
major depressive disorder, the
whole Hospital wanted to hold
595
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:48,000
her longer to see if the meds
were going to have some help.
596
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:53,100
But unfortunately, as anybody,
who has been on where they
597
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:56,900
ssris, I think it's what their
official term is for them, but
598
00:34:56,900 --> 00:35:00,900
there are serotonin receptor
Inhibitors.
599
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:06,000
I think called ssris these take
weeks to take effect.
600
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,400
Oh, in fact, one of the things I
tell you, when you're on them
601
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,500
because I also have major
depressive disorder.
602
00:35:13,700 --> 00:35:16,900
They ask like my doctors would
ask, like, repeatedly are you
603
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:20,200
feeling suicidal?
Here's why, because you're
604
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,100
inside a really dark place and
you get this medication and it
605
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:24,700
starts working on your brain,
right?
606
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,300
But it takes such a long time to
pull you out and like
607
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:31,000
essentially, like kind of give
your brain the serotonin that
608
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,800
it's needing, right?
That sometimes you only feel
609
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,300
like sort of good, you don't
feel like real good yet but you
610
00:35:39,300 --> 00:35:42,100
feel like good enough that if
you are suicidal you might
611
00:35:42,100 --> 00:35:45,100
decide to actually do it.
Oh yes.
612
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:48,000
You've got enough motivation.
Now to hurt.
613
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,900
Yourself, but not enough
motivation to go to work or
614
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,200
clean.
Your house will be motivations
615
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,300
you not doing in this.
It's one of the things that is,
616
00:35:57,300 --> 00:36:00,700
it's part of the warnings.
So that repeatedly, they were
617
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:03,400
like, you have more energy now,
don't you Brittany?
618
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,000
And I was like, yes, you're not
see, they were like constantly
619
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,300
checking with me, so then they
should have done here.
620
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,400
Because they sent her home
because her insurance didn't
621
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,200
cover any more inpatient days,
some of that's going to be a
622
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,400
consistent thing that pops up at
This Woman's life insurance.
623
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:28,800
But her insurance limiting, the
amount of care she can access,
624
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,600
lovely.
She did briefly visit with
625
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,200
another doctor who put her on an
anti-psychotic drug.
626
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:41,000
But the Warren Equis believe
that medicine and drugs were the
627
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,200
tool of the devil.
So she flushed them come on
628
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,300
before.
She could even really know
629
00:36:47,300 --> 00:36:49,300
whether this was going to help
her.
630
00:36:49,300 --> 00:36:53,200
Oh my God, things got worse for
Andrea.
631
00:36:53,300 --> 00:36:56,100
She was pulling out her hair and
clumps picking at her skin until
632
00:36:56,100 --> 00:36:58,400
it bled.
The voices that come back.
633
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,600
She'd stopped eating entirely
one night, Rusty came home from
634
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,700
work and he found Andrea holding
a knife to her throat and she
635
00:37:06,700 --> 00:37:09,900
was begging.
Being Rusty to let her and her
636
00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:13,600
life.
She was hospitalized again and
637
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:18,600
given an antipsychotic medicine
was called, like Haldol.
638
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,400
This is the one that had the
best effect on her.
639
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:27,300
She approved immediately and
they said home friends.
640
00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:31,000
And family were like, this is
definitely the bus you living on
641
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,600
this stupid bus with four
children is causing trouble.
642
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,200
So Rusty bought a three-bedroom
house in clear Texas.
643
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:41,500
And for a little bit of time,
Andrew was doing, all right.
644
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:43,100
She was seeing a doctor
bi-weekly.
645
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:46,100
She had a washer and dryer, she
was on good medication.
646
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:51,600
Yes, they are on the up-and-up
doctors work, couldn't they
647
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,600
were?
They thought that this was
648
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:58,400
postpartum, depression, made
worse by her, major depressive
649
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,100
disorder, and the gates were
advised, they should either
650
00:38:02,100 --> 00:38:06,000
abstain, for set from sex, or
Andrea should stay on birth
651
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,400
control.
They did actually opted to
652
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,300
ignore the church and go on
birth control, right?
653
00:38:15,900 --> 00:38:17,500
But they didn't stick with this
very long.
654
00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:19,200
Yeah.
You know what would help?
655
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,500
What him?
Get a goddamn vasectomy.
656
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:26,100
No.
Because remember they want
657
00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:30,200
babies but there's supposed to
be a controlled, get a goddamn
658
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,500
vasectomy.
You got enough kids already.
659
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,600
Nope not enough.
So one of the things we know now
660
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,000
is that women who Suffer from
postpartum already higher risk
661
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,200
of getting in again during
subsequent pregnancies and the
662
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:49,000
episodes tend to get worse each,
with each pregnancy, Andrea was
663
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,800
on the way to recovery, but
another birth would absolutely
664
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,400
destroy the progress.
She had made.
665
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,000
So they were advised.
You should stop having kids
666
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,400
right now.
Give it a couple years.
667
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,500
You're still pretty young, you
know, let Andrea get more
668
00:39:01,500 --> 00:39:05,500
stable.
Do you want to know how quickly
669
00:39:05,500 --> 00:39:07,400
they decided that they should
have another kid?
670
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,700
This is a week later.
Seven weeks.
671
00:39:10,700 --> 00:39:16,600
After she was discharged, God,
Rusty kind of looked at it.
672
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,300
Andrea's mental illness and
postpartum and the suicide
673
00:39:19,300 --> 00:39:22,700
attempts is like kind of like
her having the flu and that's
674
00:39:22,700 --> 00:39:25,100
literally a direct quote, just
like the flu.
675
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,400
Come on.
His thought was, if she relapses
676
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,300
has, we'll just go back to the
hospital and get new maps.
677
00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:30,900
No, that's not how it works,
though.
678
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,100
It's not how that works and
that's definitely something he
679
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,500
In realize which is that like
the kind of medications that
680
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:39,500
she's on take a while to set in
and she's going to have to come
681
00:39:39,500 --> 00:39:44,200
off of them to get pregnant and
going off of these meds, very
682
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:48,700
quickly is very dangerous.
Yeah, I can imagine so yes, she
683
00:39:48,700 --> 00:39:50,800
stopped taking her medication,
seven weeks, after being
684
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,300
discharged from the hospital in
2000, and she had her fifth
685
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:57,600
child Mary in November of 2000.
Oh, finally a girl.
686
00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:02,100
She, she actually seemed to be
doing, all right?
687
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:05,600
Though there was like a weird
situation where she tried to
688
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,100
feed like a very young baby,
real food and the baby like
689
00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:13,000
start choking.
I don't know why she was doing
690
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,200
that but also like this is a
woman clearly in distress.
691
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,400
Yeah, but March 2001, Andrea's
father dies.
692
00:40:22,300 --> 00:40:25,400
She starts picking at her skin,
pulling out her hair again,
693
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,000
ignoring her own health for the
next few months.
694
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,200
She's in and out of psychiatric
facilities.
695
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:34,200
On a revolving door of
medicines, trying to find the
696
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,800
right combination here.
Doctors, tell Rusty, do not
697
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,000
leave.
Andrea alone at all.
698
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,300
Something that Rusty ignored.
He arranged for his mother to
699
00:40:46,300 --> 00:40:49,900
come and watch the kids with
Andrea, but he still left her
700
00:40:49,900 --> 00:40:51,600
alone for small.
Bouts of time.
701
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,500
He thought that she would become
dependent on him and his mother
702
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:59,600
for help with her wifely duties.
Dude, they told you not to leave
703
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:04,100
her alone for a reason April
2001.
704
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,500
She began seeing a new doctor.
His name is dr.
705
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:09,900
Mohammad Sayeed a month after
that.
706
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,600
May 3rd, 2001.
She regresses to almost a
707
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,900
catatonic State.
When afternoon Rusty's mom, her
708
00:41:16,900 --> 00:41:21,800
name is Dora Yates finds her.
She had filled the The bathtub
709
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:27,400
in the middle of the afternoon
and when Dora was like, what's
710
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,200
the bathtub for?
She is just like I just wanted
711
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,500
to of course later on Andrea
would say that that was enough,
712
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,000
that was a day that she had
intended on killing the children
713
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:43,100
but she changed her mind.
She and tell her children that
714
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:44,600
at all.
I shouldn't tell the doctors at
715
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,200
it.
Of course, of course she was
716
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,400
hospitalized.
Again, the next day, the
717
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,800
psychiatrist there are met for
thought she was suicidal and
718
00:41:53,700 --> 00:41:56,300
they thought that the tub had
been for her.
719
00:41:58,500 --> 00:42:02,200
Rusty was useless and actually,
quite frustrating through this
720
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,900
whole process.
He actually told Andrea at one
721
00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:06,800
point that she should think
happy thoughts.
722
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,100
I'm gonna punch you in the nuts.
Three common phrase of
723
00:42:10,100 --> 00:42:12,300
neurotypical.
People who do not understand how
724
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:16,300
any of this works at.
All right, there you can Sucker
725
00:42:16,300 --> 00:42:18,900
Punch right in your boys.
Yeah.
726
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,400
God, he's super, super
frustrating.
727
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,000
Andrea continued to see, dr.
Syed.
728
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,900
Until June 20th 2001.
When she was arrested that De
729
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:30,300
Rossi left for work.
He left her alone to watch the
730
00:42:30,308 --> 00:42:33,300
children, which was directly
against sites.
731
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:36,800
Instructions Rusty's.
Mother Dora was scheduled to get
732
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,200
there at 10:00 a.m. to help her
for the rest of the day.
733
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:41,700
So Rusty, was only going to be
gone for an hour.
734
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,500
They could have stayed that damn
our I think so too.
735
00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:52,100
This is the part where I'm going
to explain what happens?
736
00:42:53,300 --> 00:42:57,600
I have no issue with you.
Skipping over like the next like
737
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,100
Four minutes.
To anyone listening?
738
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,700
Yeah.
She filled the bathtub with
739
00:43:04,700 --> 00:43:11,000
water and she drowned a five
year old John first, then she
740
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,500
carried him.
Hugh her and Rusty's bedroom,
741
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,500
laid him on the bed, covered him
with the sheet, she did this
742
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:20,100
again to Paul who was three,
Luke who was too and then six
743
00:43:20,100 --> 00:43:24,700
month old Mary while she was in
the process of drowning, Mary
744
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:30,000
Noah walked into the bathroom.
He was now 7 and he was like,
745
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,400
what's wrong with Barry?
Little boy, tried to run away,
746
00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:38,000
but Andrea caught him and
drowned him to.
747
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,800
She left his body in the tub and
took Mary and laid him in John's
748
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:50,500
arms.
Andrew called the police.
749
00:43:52,900 --> 00:43:59,000
The I actually saw the
transcript of the call to the
750
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,200
police.
It was very weird.
751
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,900
She was just like, I need him to
come and they were like the 911.
752
00:44:05,900 --> 00:44:08,100
Operators, like, who, who do you
need to come?
753
00:44:08,100 --> 00:44:10,600
And she's like, my husband, and
he's like, she's a car.
754
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:11,200
You?
Okay.
755
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,500
Are you ill?
And she said, yes, I'm Ill.
756
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:20,000
And They're like, do you need a
police officer?
757
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:23,200
Oh, gee.
A firefighter.
758
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,000
And she's just like, yes,
firefighters should come.
759
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:33,000
Send an ambulance to And then
she called her husband.
760
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:38,500
Hmm again I already told you the
situation where she told them
761
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:39,600
it's time.
Yeah.
762
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,200
When the police arrived Andrea
was still wet and she greeted
763
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,700
them at the door, she said very
calmly.
764
00:44:46,700 --> 00:44:50,000
I just killed my kids.
Then she sat down in the living
765
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:55,700
room and the officers checked.
Every account that I read of
766
00:44:55,700 --> 00:44:58,500
this, and I don't go, I don't
have any, I don't go to into
767
00:44:58,500 --> 00:45:02,200
details on this in my notes, but
that it was a very, just a
768
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:08,200
life-altering experience for the
police officers, who checked
769
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:14,300
horrible to walk in, and see the
little boy in the tub.
770
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,600
And then to walk down the hall
and see the other four children
771
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:24,000
laid out, She told she spoke to
detective.
772
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:28,000
His name was Ed, Mel saying I'm
a bad mother and I deserve to be
773
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,300
punished.
She didn't struggle with the
774
00:45:30,300 --> 00:45:32,600
police as the EMTs came into the
house.
775
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,500
To see if her children were
still alive, she just looked
776
00:45:35,500 --> 00:45:37,800
kind of blankly at her neighbors
as they led her away.
777
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,400
The police reported that, this
is the part that really like
778
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,000
annoyed me, I just really
frustrated me because Rusty was
779
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,400
like, you're not living up to
your wifely duties.
780
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,400
I'm like, bro.
Nobody was doing anything in the
781
00:45:49,408 --> 00:45:52,600
house because don't lie.
They said the house was like
782
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,400
just super cluttered dishes were
everywhere.
783
00:45:55,400 --> 00:46:01,700
Everything was super messy.
like, if she's in such a state
784
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:08,300
where she can do nothing, Like,
what wifely duties, do you
785
00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:10,000
think?
She's like, becoming dependent
786
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,800
on you?
She can't even wash a dish.
787
00:46:13,500 --> 00:46:16,300
That's a whole different level.
Yeah.
788
00:46:16,500 --> 00:46:22,600
But the children were confirmed
dead when the The medical
789
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:23,600
examiner.
Got there.
790
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,900
Rusty was not allowed to enter
the home for five hours.
791
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,700
He told the police that his wife
was depressed and that she was
792
00:46:31,700 --> 00:46:35,300
on medication at the police
station.
793
00:46:35,300 --> 00:46:39,100
They recorded an interview of
Andrea Yates and she confessed,
794
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:45,900
she's like nearly emaciated at
this point she is like
795
00:46:45,900 --> 00:46:49,500
stuttering.
She is, filthy, her scalp is
796
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:51,300
covered in bald patches from
her.
797
00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:55,500
Pulling her hair out and scabs
from her like Like scratching at
798
00:46:55,500 --> 00:47:00,300
her scalp, on top of that, the
recorded confession was bizarre,
799
00:47:00,300 --> 00:47:03,600
it was a mixture of her
discussing what she did.
800
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:08,700
But also it was like all of
that, like religious mumbo-jumbo
801
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,800
Twisted into it.
Like this, that she'd like
802
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,800
internalized over the lack last
eight years of being with Rusty,
803
00:47:17,300 --> 00:47:19,400
like she told him, she killed
her children because she was a
804
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,900
bad mother.
She explained exactly.
805
00:47:21,900 --> 00:47:24,700
Like, I told you in detail like,
which one, and how she did it?
806
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,800
She told the police, like, they
were like, well, did the
807
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,600
children do anything wrong?
She's like, no, she's like, mm,
808
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,400
were you mad at them?
She's like, no, they weren't
809
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,100
developing correctly.
And so, they're like, what does
810
00:47:38,100 --> 00:47:40,400
that mean?
And she's just like, well, you
811
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,700
know, I've been thinking about
Doing this for the last two
812
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:47,000
years and that she said that she
needed to be punished for not,
813
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:52,100
raising them correctly, and the
officer realized that she wanted
814
00:47:52,100 --> 00:47:55,600
the criminal justice system to
punish her for being a bad mom.
815
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,400
According to her own religion,
she was sure that if things went
816
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,100
on the way they were going, her
evilness would, in fact, these
817
00:48:03,100 --> 00:48:06,600
children and they would never
get to go to heaven, she
818
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,300
believed that just like the war
in Equis.
819
00:48:08,300 --> 00:48:11,100
Told her, she was damned, but at
least she could save her
820
00:48:11,100 --> 00:48:12,000
children.
From Souls.
821
00:48:13,100 --> 00:48:15,700
She said that she had nearly
killed him two months ago,
822
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,700
chant, but changed her mind.
Gave him a name of her current
823
00:48:18,700 --> 00:48:21,800
psychiatrist.
She said she hadn't killed them
824
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,900
because someone was at home with
her at the time, the officer
825
00:48:25,900 --> 00:48:28,800
interviewing her, shut off the
recording, 18 minutes later
826
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,300
after asking, Andrea to give all
the birth dates of her children.
827
00:48:33,300 --> 00:48:38,000
So for his records that day, she
was charged with two counts of
828
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,000
capital, murder for
intentionally and knowingly
829
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,400
called.
The death of three of her
830
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,800
children with water as the
weapon.
831
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,100
There was no mention on this
report at all, of her mental
832
00:48:49,100 --> 00:48:56,200
illness.
Exactly, on the flip side, Rusty
833
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,500
began telling the press that she
had been dealing with serious
834
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:01,600
mental health issues, since the
birth of their fourth child in
835
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:06,000
1989.
Dr. Syed called Rusty the day of
836
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,300
the murders and was shocked.
He was like, doctors.
837
00:49:09,300 --> 00:49:12,300
I eat was under the belief that
Rusty's mother lived there with
838
00:49:12,300 --> 00:49:15,300
them.
And she was always there, right?
839
00:49:15,700 --> 00:49:18,200
Not that she was showing up
every morning and then going
840
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,200
home and I mean, yeah, the
latter would make sense and
841
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:27,000
former will make sense.
One day because this is like a
842
00:49:27,008 --> 00:49:29,700
media Firestorm at this part.
No one can imagine this.
843
00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:32,500
You know, horrible thing
happened and beautiful medical
844
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:36,100
Middle America.
One day Rusty, goes outside with
845
00:49:36,100 --> 00:49:39,500
a picture of his family, and
tells the group of reporters
846
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,700
everything he remembers from
that day and he publicly
847
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:44,400
supports Andrea telling the
reporter.
848
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,200
She's a good.
Mom, she just wasn't in her
849
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:51,000
right frame of mind.
June, 22nd and reappears in
850
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,400
front of Johnny Belinda Hill and
listens to prosecutor kahlan
851
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,800
will afford.
It was well for its first
852
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,200
capital, murder case, and whole
she gave it everything she had.
853
00:50:01,300 --> 00:50:05,000
No Andrea said, she didn't have
her attorney, didn't have an
854
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,300
attorney and was given a public
defender named Bob Scott who
855
00:50:08,300 --> 00:50:12,000
immediately requested a gag
order on everything that was
856
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,100
going to be investigated.
So that it wasn't leaked to the
857
00:50:14,100 --> 00:50:17,400
Press, he wanted the state to
keep quiet.
858
00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:20,100
On whether they were going to
seek the death penalty, the
859
00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:24,900
prosecution complied.
At this point, Rusty got a
860
00:50:24,900 --> 00:50:28,500
family friend named George
parnham to help with the case
861
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,900
and George.
Negotiated a meeting between
862
00:50:30,900 --> 00:50:33,500
Rusty and Andrea because at this
point he wasn't even allowed to
863
00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:37,900
see her and laughing singing.
Here would be the best rejected
864
00:50:37,900 --> 00:50:39,300
the attorney.
There you go.
865
00:50:39,300 --> 00:50:42,700
She told Rusty, you will be
greatly rewarded and then said
866
00:50:42,700 --> 00:50:46,200
have a nice life and tell him to
leave.
867
00:50:49,500 --> 00:50:53,300
The reason why she was so weird
during this interview, this,
868
00:50:53,300 --> 00:50:56,200
this time was that the president
didn't have like the medication
869
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,300
that she needed, right?
So they just were putting her on
870
00:50:58,300 --> 00:51:01,700
sedatives, so she was just high
as a kite that day.
871
00:51:01,900 --> 00:51:08,500
Like have a nice life by a man,
by the name of Wendell Odom was
872
00:51:08,500 --> 00:51:12,900
enlisted to help parnham when he
went to see Andrea.
873
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,900
She only wanted to know what
plea, they were going to submit.
874
00:51:17,100 --> 00:51:22,400
Her because she said she was not
going to plead guilty at this
875
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,300
point.
Wonder was like, I'm not even
876
00:51:24,300 --> 00:51:26,500
sure you can stand trial for
yourself.
877
00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:31,200
She still even while she was in
prison, she still wasn't bathing
878
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,000
and she was barely aware of the
world around her.
879
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,100
She was still shaking and like
scratching at her scalp.
880
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,800
There was a Doctor by the name
of Lucy per year who ended up
881
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:46,000
evaluating her for the defense
and said that Andrea was
882
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,200
suffering from something.
Called postpartum psychosis and
883
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,100
described her as the sickest
person I have ever seen in my
884
00:51:52,100 --> 00:51:56,200
life.
No, I'm pause this because a lot
885
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:57,900
of people know what postpartum
depression has.
886
00:51:57,900 --> 00:52:01,400
Mmm, I didn't actually know what
postpartum psychosis was.
887
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,600
I started reading about that.
Yeah, I didn't know that was a
888
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,200
thing.
So postpartum depression occurs
889
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,900
in about 20 percent of women who
have children attended, 20% is
890
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:13,700
the, the general percentage.
It just happens because there
891
00:52:13,700 --> 00:52:16,900
are a extreme amount of hormonal
shifts.
892
00:52:17,100 --> 00:52:23,000
Being within the pregnant woman
and it, they have weird
893
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,400
thoughts.
They feel unsure.
894
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,200
Sometimes they have trouble
bonding with the child.
895
00:52:29,900 --> 00:52:34,100
Postpartum psychosis is actually
quite where and only occurs in
896
00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:38,900
about Point 1 to point, 2
percent of all women, who give
897
00:52:38,900 --> 00:52:45,000
birth, it's treatable but very
severe and it can happen to
898
00:52:45,008 --> 00:52:46,900
women who've never had any
Mental Health.
899
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,700
Issues before, but women who
already have a history of mental
900
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:52,600
illness or at a higher risk for
it.
901
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:59,600
It starts within weeks of the
pregnancy like the birth, and if
902
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,400
its treated like quickly, you're
perfectly fine.
903
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,300
But like, as for the symptoms of
this, Andrea had them all
904
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,500
strained believes hearing and
seeing things that aren't there.
905
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:12,500
Severe confusion.
Bouts of mania with a loss of
906
00:53:12,500 --> 00:53:17,700
touch of reality, Andrews
medical records were subpoenaed
907
00:53:17,700 --> 00:53:20,600
and psychiatrist were ordered to
speak to her.
908
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:25,900
She very consistently told all
of them that God would accept
909
00:53:25,900 --> 00:53:30,200
her children to heaven, when one
of the doctors reverse, the
910
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,900
question and was like, what
would happen if you'd left the
911
00:53:32,900 --> 00:53:36,000
children alive?
Andrea told them, the children
912
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,600
would continue stumbling in
their lives and go to hell.
913
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,300
When I asked like, what were the
children doing to show you that
914
00:53:43,300 --> 00:53:46,600
you were being a bad mom?
Andrea said that they didn't
915
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,700
treat Rusty's mother with
respects and weren't doing the
916
00:53:49,700 --> 00:53:53,300
things that God liked, which is
so vague.
917
00:53:53,300 --> 00:53:56,300
Yeah.
What did the judge did Issue the
918
00:53:56,300 --> 00:53:59,700
gag order, five days later which
is the same way that the
919
00:53:59,700 --> 00:54:03,000
children were buried.
But it didn't really matter
920
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,000
because information just leaked
constantly to the process,
921
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,100
right?
A funeral was reported on the
922
00:54:08,100 --> 00:54:13,400
media Rusty was Graham and sad
and spoke at at each of his
923
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:17,800
children's coffins tongue.
Labor and good hands and placing
924
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,200
the Child's favorite toy inside
the coffin.
925
00:54:20,700 --> 00:54:22,900
He gave a eulogy for his
children, discussing their
926
00:54:22,900 --> 00:54:25,400
personalities and he showed
pictures of them.
927
00:54:25,700 --> 00:54:28,800
He read a few Bible verses
called it, God's Will and sat
928
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,300
down.
Andrea was not permitted to
929
00:54:31,300 --> 00:54:36,300
attend her children's funeral
but other family members did by
930
00:54:36,300 --> 00:54:38,200
June 28th.
The media were predicting what
931
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:44,400
was going to happen here.
Texas juries are very apt to
932
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,700
recommend.
The death penalty but they have
933
00:54:46,700 --> 00:54:50,000
always found it.
Hard to kill mother's.
934
00:54:50,300 --> 00:54:54,900
Hmm, as of May 17th 2021.
There are 17.
935
00:54:54,900 --> 00:54:59,200
Women on death, row for killing
their children, but roughly 180
936
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,000
children are killed by their
mothers, every year in the u.s.
937
00:55:03,100 --> 00:55:07,000
Oh my God.
So Of the ones that happened
938
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,700
every year, like what less than
one percent of them actually end
939
00:55:10,700 --> 00:55:13,100
up on death row.
For some reason, as a culture,
940
00:55:13,100 --> 00:55:17,800
we really struggle to Put a
woman to death.
941
00:55:17,900 --> 00:55:21,400
Put a mother to death.
Yeah it's rigged.
942
00:55:21,700 --> 00:55:23,600
It's weird.
You child enough.
943
00:55:25,900 --> 00:55:30,000
Texas indicted Andrea for the
deaths of Noah John and Mary on
944
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,200
July 31st, 2001.
They Prevail Leaf earring as to
945
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,500
why they did not include the all
the children is that.
946
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,000
If the initial charges didn't go
the way the state wanted, they
947
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,400
could prosecute her again and
not fall under.
948
00:55:45,300 --> 00:55:48,300
Look at them using their brain.
Yep, so they like listen, we're
949
00:55:48,300 --> 00:55:50,000
going to do these first three
and if this doesn't go the way
950
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,900
we want, we're going to
prosecute the other two.
951
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,800
There you go.
Judge Hill ordered a third
952
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,900
Psych.
For Andrea for her arraignment
953
00:55:58,900 --> 00:56:00,700
be Raymond.
Is when you're expected to
954
00:56:00,700 --> 00:56:04,100
submit your plea and here, the
formal charges against you, she
955
00:56:04,100 --> 00:56:06,200
appeared in court, August 8,
2001.
956
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,100
She was thinner than she first
appeared in.
957
00:56:08,100 --> 00:56:11,600
June, she been put back on the
same antipsychotic that had
958
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,500
worked for her in 1989, but it
didn't seem to be working.
959
00:56:14,700 --> 00:56:18,300
Now she was very clearly
deteriorating.
960
00:56:18,300 --> 00:56:21,200
But the Texas court appointed
psychiatrist is like nah, she's
961
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,800
good.
Her legal team did not agree and
962
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:30,600
they wanted to draw To see and
decide for themselves.
963
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,600
Since the psychiatrist they'd
all hired said that Andrea was
964
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:40,300
not competent enough to just to
stand trial, competency, hearing
965
00:56:40,300 --> 00:56:43,000
meeting that she's able to
participate in her own defense
966
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,000
and fully comprehend what's
happening in court, right?
967
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,500
The judge would agree.
Look at the medical testimony
968
00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:50,700
from dr.
Syed.
969
00:56:50,700 --> 00:56:53,900
That was given to the grand jury
before her indictment and they
970
00:56:53,900 --> 00:56:58,800
set up a competency hearing the
day.
971
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:03,200
After they say, the judge agreed
to the competency hearing the
972
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,500
prosecution was like, yeah.
So we're going to be seeking the
973
00:57:05,500 --> 00:57:08,400
death penalty so much for that
gag order, right?
974
00:57:10,500 --> 00:57:12,400
The judge ordered.
No one could speak publicly
975
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,500
about this.
But Rusty did a 60 Minutes
976
00:57:15,500 --> 00:57:18,400
interview oh my God, where he
showed videos of the children
977
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,300
and talked about his life with
Andrea, but he was careful.
978
00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:25,300
Not to give any opinions about
the trial or talk about anything
979
00:57:25,300 --> 00:57:26,300
involving the try.
Well.
980
00:57:26,300 --> 00:57:28,000
Okay.
I mean, that's not too bad.
981
00:57:28,100 --> 00:57:30,900
He did everything, but so I'm
jury selection began a week
982
00:57:30,900 --> 00:57:34,500
after September 11th because
everything.
983
00:57:34,500 --> 00:57:38,100
Shut down for September 11th.
Yes, that wild doesn't want this
984
00:57:38,100 --> 00:57:39,600
happened.
That year.
985
00:57:40,900 --> 00:57:44,700
So, aim of the books that I read
for this cop, Breaking Point by
986
00:57:44,700 --> 00:57:49,100
Suzie Spencer, it goes into some
intense details about this
987
00:57:49,100 --> 00:57:52,400
competency trial, there were
hundreds of pages of documents
988
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:56,400
submitted to the court defense,
experts saying, she's not come,
989
00:57:56,500 --> 00:57:58,500
you know, competent prosecution
saying.
990
00:57:58,500 --> 00:58:02,600
She is lawyers arguing about the
state psychologist.
991
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:06,200
Being allowed to visit Andrea
without the defense knowledge.
992
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,000
The judge ruled that that
interview couldn't be used but
993
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,500
the end of the While it's still
got used those all crazy.
994
00:58:13,100 --> 00:58:15,100
There's this, his name is dr.
Joan Harris.
995
00:58:15,100 --> 00:58:18,500
And he testified that he met
Andrea four times and that she
996
00:58:18,500 --> 00:58:23,100
showed signs of psychosis an
hallucination on June 25th.
997
00:58:23,100 --> 00:58:25,200
That's five days after the
murder.
998
00:58:25,300 --> 00:58:27,900
Hmm.
She was seeing visions of Satan
999
00:58:27,900 --> 00:58:29,900
in her jail cell.
He told the court.
1000
00:58:29,900 --> 00:58:31,800
She had a hard time
understanding questions and it
1001
00:58:31,808 --> 00:58:37,200
would take her like a really
long time to like process.
1002
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,900
What he was asking her.
The one thing that Andrea seemed
1003
00:58:41,900 --> 00:58:44,900
to be certain of, is that she
deserved to be executed and go
1004
00:58:44,900 --> 00:58:47,500
to hell.
Because once she was killed the
1005
00:58:47,500 --> 00:58:50,100
Devil Within her would be
destroyed.
1006
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,500
She insisted, she didn't need a
lawyer, she was not going to
1007
00:58:54,500 --> 00:58:58,500
plead guilty and then she wanted
to shave her head to prove that
1008
00:58:58,500 --> 00:59:02,200
she had been given the mark of
Satan and it was on her scalp.
1009
00:59:02,500 --> 00:59:05,400
And if she shaved her head, then
won't be able to see it.
1010
00:59:05,500 --> 00:59:08,500
Oh, my God, dr.
Harris did tell the court that
1011
00:59:08,500 --> 00:59:11,600
after three months of being
medicated, she did seem to stop
1012
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:15,600
having hallucinations and could
hold on to like have a
1013
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,600
conversation, but she still
struggled with delusions.
1014
00:59:18,900 --> 00:59:22,800
And while she was a Rather like
average intelligence woman.
1015
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,100
She struggled with remembering
things, which is kind of
1016
00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:29,000
important for a trial where
you're supposed to remember the
1017
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,700
details of what you did, right?
And it's like I said, if someone
1018
00:59:32,700 --> 00:59:38,300
with MVD, your memory like
long-term depression, and your
1019
00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:44,200
memory, it's just shot, I just
forget stuff, I know it's awful,
1020
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:49,500
it makes me feel terrible.
Goodness, there's another doctor
1021
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:53,300
named Laura.
Marin gel who testified about
1022
00:59:53,300 --> 00:59:56,300
the changes that happen to your
brain at different psychological
1023
00:59:56,300 --> 00:59:59,400
States dr.
Mary and Joe is actually an
1024
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,100
expert on depression and she
walks the court through the
1025
01:00:02,300 --> 01:00:06,500
previous two years of Andrea's
life and said that with
1026
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:09,900
extensive treatment Andrea could
become competent.
1027
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:14,400
But at this moment she was not
the prosecution used the prison
1028
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:18,600
staff to support their assertion
that Andrea was okay, there was
1029
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:22,200
a doctor named Steve rubin's.
Sir, who spent 10 hours with her
1030
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,200
and done tests?
This was the one that the
1031
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,700
defense was disputing because
the defense wasn't there when
1032
01:00:28,700 --> 01:00:35,100
they did these competency time,
September 24th, 2001, a jury of
1033
01:00:35,100 --> 01:00:39,300
11 men and one woman deemed her
fit to stand trial on October
1034
01:00:39,300 --> 01:00:43,500
30th.
Andrea's attorneys filed, 36,
1035
01:00:43,500 --> 01:00:48,100
pretrial, motions, everything in
the book that they could file,
1036
01:00:48,100 --> 01:00:50,600
they did.
But the most important one was
1037
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,800
that, the court reconsider part
of the Texas criminal code that
1038
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,700
would stop jurors from knowing
that a verdict of Not Guilty.
1039
01:00:58,700 --> 01:01:03,600
By reason of insanity was not
actually Acquittal, and I didn't
1040
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:07,600
realize this either, like, I
think, you know, it kind of but
1041
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,800
you people always say, like, oh,
that person got away with, you
1042
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,400
know, Murder By reason of
insanity.
1043
01:01:13,500 --> 01:01:16,900
No, but the reality of that is
that you don't like get to go
1044
01:01:16,900 --> 01:01:17,800
free.
No, no.
1045
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,400
You agree to like go to a mental
facility, roughly for the rest
1046
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:22,300
of your life.
Yep.
1047
01:01:22,300 --> 01:01:25,400
You just aren't going to prison.
But I mean, really, if we're
1048
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,700
arguing if some psychiatric
facilities are like present
1049
01:01:28,700 --> 01:01:30,800
mostly in his prison.
Yeah.
1050
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:36,400
So People like the common.
I think general idea in America
1051
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,800
is that you get to walk away
from this but that's not true at
1052
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:43,100
all.
So what her attorneys wanted was
1053
01:01:43,100 --> 01:01:47,700
for them to essentially say,
like, know if you do this if you
1054
01:01:47,700 --> 01:01:49,900
give her, you know, guilty, not
guilty.
1055
01:01:49,900 --> 01:01:52,400
By reason of insanity, it
doesn't mean she gets away with
1056
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,000
murder.
I just mean she's going to go to
1057
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,000
a facility that can actually
help her, right?
1058
01:01:56,500 --> 01:02:01,400
But apparently in Texas, you
can't do that.
1059
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,600
We're not allowed to know that
whatnot.
1060
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,200
It's against the rules.
It's against the rules are
1061
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,000
against the law.
It's part of the Texas criminal
1062
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,500
code.
That jurors are not supposed to
1063
01:02:12,500 --> 01:02:15,100
understand like that about that
verdict.
1064
01:02:15,100 --> 01:02:17,800
That's some bullshit.
It's weird.
1065
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,800
And it's something that after
this case has been disputed,
1066
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,400
like, why wouldn't you want your
jurors to be fully like before
1067
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:27,900
we understand what's going on?
That's what I said too.
1068
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,000
Now, Andrea is defense.
Also wanted her Russian thrown
1069
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,800
out because it was done about an
hour after the murders where she
1070
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:39,000
was not on any medication and
she was definitely not competent
1071
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,900
enough to waive her right to an
attorney that day.
1072
01:02:40,900 --> 01:02:43,800
Yeah, but it's what you didn't
do, it was the freshest.
1073
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:48,700
So at this end, they were trying
and November a psychiatrist for
1074
01:02:48,700 --> 01:02:52,100
the prosecution interviewed
Andrea, his name was dr.
1075
01:02:52,100 --> 01:02:56,800
Park Dietz, and he is a
nationally well-known forensic
1076
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,400
psychiatrist who worked on
Jeffrey, Dahmer's case for the
1077
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,700
FBI.
Oh as well as Susan Smith.
1078
01:03:03,900 --> 01:03:06,500
Who also drowned her children.
Oh wait, you said Jeffrey
1079
01:03:06,500 --> 01:03:07,600
Dahmer?
You mean your boy?
1080
01:03:07,700 --> 01:03:12,800
No Dahmer know until my Bundy.
Well no not but probably not
1081
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,300
your voice.
Not my boy, not your boy.
1082
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,300
Oh my God.
Okay Dahmer is not my boy.
1083
01:03:22,300 --> 01:03:25,800
Despite him being a very well
respected forensic psychiatrist.
1084
01:03:27,100 --> 01:03:30,900
He knew virtually nothing about
postpartum depression or
1085
01:03:30,900 --> 01:03:33,700
psychosis.
It wasn't his area of expertise
1086
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,900
that interview was taped and
released to the public.
1087
01:03:39,300 --> 01:03:42,800
Oh, they probably eat him alive.
She know, she repeated a lot of
1088
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,200
what I've told though, but she I
told you to dr.
1089
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,900
Dietz.
December was really tough month.
1090
01:03:47,900 --> 01:03:50,900
The defense lost nearly all of
their emotions, specifically,
1091
01:03:50,900 --> 01:03:56,000
the one about the jury, they
begin what year which is jury
1092
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,400
selection.
January 6, 2002, eight women,
1093
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:02,100
and four men were chosen.
Seven of those jurors had
1094
01:04:02,100 --> 01:04:04,800
children and to had degrees in
Psychology.
1095
01:04:04,900 --> 01:04:07,200
Hmm.
All were aware that they were
1096
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,700
allowed to choose the death
penalty trial was set for
1097
01:04:10,700 --> 01:04:12,500
February.
Eighteenth, two thousand two.
1098
01:04:12,500 --> 01:04:17,200
This was super high profile and
the literally like Every night,
1099
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:21,600
the media's medical experts were
debating, whether Andrea Yates
1100
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:26,100
was actually crazy.
We should she get off like The
1101
01:04:26,100 --> 01:04:28,800
prosecution was like, listen,
Andrew Greg Yates drowned, her
1102
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,600
five kids.
She knew it was wrong.
1103
01:04:30,900 --> 01:04:34,400
She known because she didn't
kill them when her husband was
1104
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:37,800
home the month before and she
waited until he was gone the day
1105
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,400
that she did it then she called
the police.
1106
01:04:41,100 --> 01:04:45,100
Both Williford and her partner.
Joseph own be tried to keep the
1107
01:04:45,100 --> 01:04:48,600
jury focused on the fact that
she knew what was right when it
1108
01:04:48,607 --> 01:04:51,300
happened and that her mental
health wasn't really a factor.
1109
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,600
Of course the defense was that
she didn't know What she was
1110
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:59,600
doing, because she is insane as
we discussed during the Herbert
1111
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,300
Mullin case.
And episode 13, this is still
1112
01:05:02,300 --> 01:05:07,000
very hard to prove in court.
Andrea's defends said that she'd
1113
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,800
been suffering from postpartum
depression.
1114
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:12,800
Since her second son was born
postpartum psychosis since the
1115
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:17,800
final child was born her lawyer.
Parnham said that Andrea's
1116
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:22,200
mental illness was so severe.
And so long-standing that Andrea
1117
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:26,500
Yates ability to think is at an
abstract To give narrative
1118
01:05:26,500 --> 01:05:30,500
responses and to be able to
connect the dots is impaired.
1119
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:32,000
Hmm?
Really?
1120
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:39,000
He specifically avoided bringing
up the religious stuff because
1121
01:05:39,100 --> 01:05:43,400
he thought that her fixation on
religion was a manifestation of
1122
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,200
the bigger problem.
Like it wasn't.
1123
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,500
Just the devil made me do it.
It was that's a movie coming
1124
01:05:48,500 --> 01:05:50,400
out.
Oh yeah, yeah.
1125
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,000
Oh wow.
It's about the warrants to.
1126
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,800
Oh wow.
Yeah, we have to watch it.
1127
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,100
I'm sorry.
They were going to leave it up
1128
01:05:57,107 --> 01:06:00,000
to the jurors decide if she was
in the midst of a debilitating
1129
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:01,900
psychotic State, when she killed
her children.
1130
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,700
This is rough because now after
a year of consistent, medical
1131
01:06:06,700 --> 01:06:09,000
treatment, Andrea looked a lot
better.
1132
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,400
And it would be unethical to
remove her from the medications
1133
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,400
to show how she behaves when
she's not on.
1134
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:18,900
Yeah, please don't know where
the enough during Yates
1135
01:06:18,900 --> 01:06:24,600
testified for the prosecution on
how Andrea did nothing at home,
1136
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,000
but you sit and stare into
space.
1137
01:06:27,500 --> 01:06:30,600
And so like, a lot of people who
reported on this guy, read a
1138
01:06:30,607 --> 01:06:33,200
couple of years, our curls news
articles and they were just like
1139
01:06:34,500 --> 01:06:37,200
This kind of was more helpful to
the defense.
1140
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,700
Yeah, absolutely saying that.
Like she pretty much was at home
1141
01:06:40,700 --> 01:06:42,500
in a catatonic State all the
time.
1142
01:06:42,700 --> 01:06:43,800
Thank you.
Regardless.
1143
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,300
We appreciate your help.
One of the other things that the
1144
01:06:46,300 --> 01:06:52,600
prosecution did was they showed
a picture of one of the
1145
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:56,500
children's like clenched Fist
and it had some of Andrea's hair
1146
01:06:56,500 --> 01:06:58,600
in it.
So I let the baby have fought
1147
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,000
back when I have the baby but
one of the other children for
1148
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:04,300
that, right?
And also too Show how small
1149
01:07:04,300 --> 01:07:06,000
their little hands were when
they died.
1150
01:07:07,900 --> 01:07:11,100
Andrea's lawyer was like, this
is just an attempt to work up
1151
01:07:11,100 --> 01:07:13,400
the jury.
It was, right.
1152
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,700
They also showed the pajamas,
they like literally entered the
1153
01:07:20,700 --> 01:07:24,800
children's pajamas into evidence
to show how small they were come
1154
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,700
on and how Andrea was so much
bigger.
1155
01:07:26,700 --> 01:07:29,600
We know how big seven-year-old
five, right.
1156
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,100
So we don't like, literally this
is like a 50 pound child.
1157
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:33,500
Yeah, we know how big they are,
you know.
1158
01:07:33,700 --> 01:07:37,700
Shows us the phone in to see it.
The defense launch their portion
1159
01:07:37,700 --> 01:07:39,500
of the trial.
They started with the prison
1160
01:07:39,500 --> 01:07:42,200
psychiatrist.
Melissa Ferguson to give the
1161
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,700
court, an idea of what Andrea
looked like, when she entered
1162
01:07:44,700 --> 01:07:47,600
the prison, how she couldn't
answer any questions or really
1163
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,600
talk much.
One of the books that I read for
1164
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,700
this podcast is called, are you
there alone?
1165
01:07:52,700 --> 01:07:56,100
And it was from Suzanne O'Malley
and one of the most bizarre
1166
01:07:56,100 --> 01:08:00,600
things that Suzanne points out
about this entire relationship.
1167
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,800
But specifically, the trial is
that Rusty Yates is almost As
1168
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,900
delusional as his wife.
He made team this almost
1169
01:08:06,900 --> 01:08:11,100
childish naivete, that Andre
would be found innocent and that
1170
01:08:11,100 --> 01:08:16,000
they would have more children
after she left a mental health,
1171
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:21,300
facility boy know at some point,
while he was testifying in her
1172
01:08:21,300 --> 01:08:24,399
defense, I think it might have,
he might have finally really
1173
01:08:24,399 --> 01:08:28,300
understood the breadth of his
wife's illness because before
1174
01:08:28,300 --> 01:08:29,800
the murders Rusty, was very
much.
1175
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,399
The type of person to tell, you
know, people just didn't think
1176
01:08:32,399 --> 01:08:38,200
happy thoughts, Or.
Brian Kennedy.
1177
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:42,300
Andrea's brother said that one
time, he even said that, like
1178
01:08:42,300 --> 01:08:45,100
depressed people just needed
like a swift kick in the rear.
1179
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,800
You need a swift kick and to get
you know in gear and your face.
1180
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:54,300
Sir you fucking cloning during
Rusty's testimony though he had
1181
01:08:54,300 --> 01:09:00,500
a bone to pick with dr.
Sayid So mind, you doctor say
1182
01:09:00,500 --> 01:09:03,600
eat is the one who said don't
leave her alone, you ever.
1183
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,899
Yeah.
What's his problem with dr.
1184
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,100
So rusty said, doctor said he is
responsible for my wife's mental
1185
01:09:09,100 --> 01:09:10,100
care.
Not me.
1186
01:09:10,100 --> 01:09:12,200
I'm not a mental health care,
professional.
1187
01:09:12,700 --> 01:09:16,200
And since Andrea hadn't told him
about the hallucinations, he's
1188
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:19,600
like, I assume that what was
being done, you know, was being
1189
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:24,899
done boy as your wife, right
know this stuff but he, that's
1190
01:09:24,899 --> 01:09:26,600
what I'm saying.
He was neglectful of heard
1191
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:27,500
throughout their entire
relationship.
1192
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,000
It's not yours.
Not the doctors fault.
1193
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,899
You it's like partly your fault
too, because you weren't paying
1194
01:09:32,899 --> 01:09:36,500
attention to her.
You weren't there for her, you
1195
01:09:36,500 --> 01:09:41,000
are sure your fucking asshole.
God, I'm sorry.
1196
01:09:41,500 --> 01:09:45,500
Well, Rusty also said that if
she was as sick as dr.
1197
01:09:45,500 --> 01:09:50,800
Syed had told the cops, then she
should have never been released
1198
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:52,899
at all.
She should have been left alone,
1199
01:09:52,899 --> 01:09:54,900
like, which astral fucking left
her alone.
1200
01:09:54,900 --> 01:09:58,900
She should have been released
but doc Dr. Saeed also told the
1201
01:09:58,907 --> 01:10:02,500
cops that he didn't want to
release Andrea, but her
1202
01:10:02,500 --> 01:10:06,400
insurance, only covered her
stay, in an inpatient facility
1203
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:07,900
for 10 days.
Hmm.
1204
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:16,800
So they were at a loss.
Doctor said he did testify in
1205
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:20,400
the third week of the trial that
when he met with Andrea two days
1206
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,500
before the murder, she was not
displaying psychosis at that
1207
01:10:23,500 --> 01:10:26,900
time and that he had diagnosed
her with depression with
1208
01:10:26,900 --> 01:10:33,100
psychotic features.
The defense questioned his notes
1209
01:10:33,700 --> 01:10:37,800
and said, did you add these
after she got arrested for
1210
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,800
murder and say he was like, no,
because they were saying that he
1211
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,500
didn't do his job.
And that he should have been a
1212
01:10:44,500 --> 01:10:48,300
little more thorough.
I'm pretty like I'm pretty sure
1213
01:10:48,300 --> 01:10:52,100
he did the best he could do what
he could like.
1214
01:10:54,100 --> 01:10:56,300
Nobody else was there to help,
right?
1215
01:10:56,900 --> 01:11:00,000
Like she was lucky enough to get
like a doctor like let her
1216
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,200
husband.
Her husband actually took her
1217
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:02,900
right?
Yeah.
1218
01:11:02,900 --> 01:11:05,300
At that point.
Well Andrews mother spoke on her
1219
01:11:05,300 --> 01:11:08,600
behalf she was not
cross-examined and then they
1220
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:11,700
brought out their big guns.
Three very well-known
1221
01:11:11,700 --> 01:11:16,400
psychiatrist Philip Resnick
Steve rosenblatt and Lucy per
1222
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,800
year this was a three-part plan
so rosenblatt had interviewed
1223
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,800
Andrea five days after the
killing and say that Andrea was
1224
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:25,300
in a deep sleep.
Of psychosis and that it would
1225
01:11:25,300 --> 01:11:27,500
have taken weeks for her to get
this bad.
1226
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:31,300
Not days, which directly cuts
into dr.
1227
01:11:31,300 --> 01:11:33,900
Saeed's diagnosis of saying,
that two days before the murder.
1228
01:11:33,900 --> 01:11:37,900
She was all right, hmm.
Per year, focused on the
1229
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:40,300
internalized.
Shame from her first to it, that
1230
01:11:40,300 --> 01:11:43,600
suicide attempt and how she had
had a lot of secrecy about her
1231
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,700
suicidal, ideation after that
because after that, she didn't
1232
01:11:46,700 --> 01:11:49,000
tell anybody about any of the
stuff she was thinking, or
1233
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:52,600
seeing or hearing, right prayer.
Also handled the main chunk of
1234
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:55,700
explaining to the The jury the
difference between postpartum
1235
01:11:55,700 --> 01:12:01,800
depression and psychosis.
Then Resnick, his speciality was
1236
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,900
parasite.
He referred to the killings as
1237
01:12:04,900 --> 01:12:10,000
being altruistic in nature, and
that she knew what she was doing
1238
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,700
was illegal.
But she believed that her choice
1239
01:12:12,700 --> 01:12:19,200
to override this, right?
And wrong, was because she was
1240
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:20,700
doing it for the betterment of
the child.
1241
01:12:20,700 --> 01:12:22,600
That actually makes sense,
right?
1242
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:26,500
So this wasn't like, I'm killing
my kids because I don't know.
1243
01:12:26,500 --> 01:12:29,700
Some man wants me to move to,
you know.
1244
01:12:29,700 --> 01:12:31,400
Yeah.
North Carolina or something dumb
1245
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,500
like that.
Like this was done with her
1246
01:12:33,500 --> 01:12:36,200
thinking about their best
interest at heart, but she knew
1247
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:38,100
it was wrong but she does, she
didn't know.
1248
01:12:38,100 --> 01:12:40,000
It was wrong to kill people.
Yeah.
1249
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:45,300
Resident met her in her cell on
two separate occasions and he
1250
01:12:45,300 --> 01:12:47,800
was just like, I'm pretty sure
she's schizophrenic as well.
1251
01:12:49,700 --> 01:12:52,900
His diagnosis did contradict the
other doctors but he's just
1252
01:12:52,900 --> 01:12:55,900
simply Stated like listen this
is just my interpretation of the
1253
01:12:55,900 --> 01:13:00,000
same data that we're all looking
at right after that, the
1254
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,400
prosecution had their
opportunity for rebuttal and
1255
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,400
that is when they bought it,
brought in dr.
1256
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:08,100
Park Dietz.
This was a big deal.
1257
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,500
Because dr.
Dietz and dr.
1258
01:13:10,500 --> 01:13:13,900
Resnick had been on the opposite
side of the courtroom before and
1259
01:13:13,900 --> 01:13:17,900
dates usually 100.
He was very good at explaining
1260
01:13:17,900 --> 01:13:22,000
complex things in simple ways
forgeries, which tends to earn
1261
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:25,100
you favor in courtroom.
Do you like to be talked to like
1262
01:13:25,100 --> 01:13:27,600
I don't know things.
This is because sometimes
1263
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:30,600
actually explain to me like I'm
five like playing a courtroom
1264
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,100
like because sometimes I am
stupid and you need to talk to
1265
01:13:33,100 --> 01:13:35,200
me like a child.
Like these cases are long.
1266
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,200
They go on for weeks.
Like you need somebody to
1267
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:40,300
explain like, okay.
Can you just say and basic words
1268
01:13:40,300 --> 01:13:44,000
with psychosis says, because I'm
tired of hearing, my 12th grades
1269
01:13:44,100 --> 01:13:47,200
13th grade language.
Y'all need to move on from there
1270
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:50,300
to youth green 13th, grade.
Listen, I'm not ready for 13th,
1271
01:13:50,300 --> 01:13:55,700
grave right now, sir.
In fact, during the trial Deets
1272
01:13:55,700 --> 01:14:00,400
used PowerPoint and he admitted
yes Andrea Yates is seriously
1273
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:03,900
mentally ill, but she a, he
said, she hadn't acted like a
1274
01:14:03,907 --> 01:14:05,400
mother who was saving her
children.
1275
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,200
He said she was aware of her
delusions and had not done
1276
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:11,800
anything to protect her children
Dietz point out that in Yates
1277
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,800
own words.
She had committed a sin and she
1278
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:16,300
knew what she had done was
wrong.
1279
01:14:16,700 --> 01:14:19,700
He also pointed out that Yates
deserve the death penalty for
1280
01:14:19,700 --> 01:14:23,300
crimes and that her covering the
children's bodies with.
1281
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:28,800
His sheet was a sign of guilt.
He also wondered why she hadn't
1282
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:32,700
comforted her children or
reassured them afterward.
1283
01:14:32,900 --> 01:14:37,200
That this was an act of love.
Dietz.
1284
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:41,300
Also, blamed Rusty to thank you.
He remind the court that doctor
1285
01:14:41,300 --> 01:14:46,500
Sayid and also another doctor
who did she had worked with
1286
01:14:46,500 --> 01:14:48,700
before dr.
Eileen star Branch had.
1287
01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:52,200
Advised her not to go off her
meds to get pregnant and not to
1288
01:14:52,208 --> 01:14:54,000
leave Andrea alone.
This is true.
1289
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,700
He said that Russia should have
realized that.
1290
01:14:56,700 --> 01:15:00,200
If a doctor was saying, don't
leave her alone.
1291
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:04,100
It means you can't leave her
alone with the kids.
1292
01:15:04,700 --> 01:15:07,800
He Point out that Andrea had
been living in an unhealthy
1293
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,800
condition for a very long time
and had not received the
1294
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,600
Continuous Care that she needed
to recover.
1295
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,700
And that's the really big word
here.
1296
01:15:16,700 --> 01:15:19,200
Continuous Care.
It's one thing for Rusty to
1297
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:20,900
compete.
Taking her back to the doctors
1298
01:15:20,900 --> 01:15:22,200
every couple months.
Yeah.
1299
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:26,300
But she need ongoing consistent.
Medical Healthcare really
1300
01:15:26,300 --> 01:15:30,400
hourly.
Like that's like it's one of
1301
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:33,000
those interesting things.
After my mom passed, I was
1302
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:39,500
seeing a therapist twice a week.
every week for months, that That
1303
01:15:39,500 --> 01:15:42,400
matters.
So like if you're saying that
1304
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,600
somebody's in this like deep
psych psychosis, I was nowhere
1305
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:49,400
near anything like that and you
were at least and I was a weed.
1306
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:53,100
Yeah I was still going to see a
therapist twice a week so I feel
1307
01:15:53,100 --> 01:15:55,500
like honestly like I said like
dr.
1308
01:15:55,500 --> 01:15:57,500
Sagan said she should have been
committed.
1309
01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:59,400
Yeah and she was only getting
hit like we just like once a
1310
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:00,800
month naughty.
Yeah.
1311
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,400
It was like one time, will the
year that this happened?
1312
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:08,900
Yeah, April May a couple of
June, like, I'm like once a
1313
01:16:08,900 --> 01:16:12,000
month is not enough, that's
that's what you Like you get put
1314
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,800
on once a month, appointments,
when you're in like, full-on
1315
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,400
like recovery and they're like,
I was going to check on you
1316
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:20,400
every so often you're doing
good.
1317
01:16:20,500 --> 01:16:22,400
That's what I'll do for
counseling once a month.
1318
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:26,600
Yeah, that's that's kind of,
like, where would be now for me
1319
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:29,400
like, hey, you know, what did
you stop by once a month to keep
1320
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:30,800
up with you.
Exactly.
1321
01:16:30,900 --> 01:16:34,100
But like, once a month for
somebody who is this far down
1322
01:16:34,100 --> 01:16:36,100
the rabbit hole?
It's at, it's not enough.
1323
01:16:38,900 --> 01:16:42,300
Now, Dietz also said in court
that when Was imprisoned.
1324
01:16:42,300 --> 01:16:46,100
She told him, I shouldn't have
done this, he did concede that.
1325
01:16:46,100 --> 01:16:48,700
It's possible that Andrea
psychosis could have gotten
1326
01:16:48,700 --> 01:16:51,500
worse after she killed the
children, so that the other
1327
01:16:51,500 --> 01:16:56,800
doctors weren't lying, but that
he did say that the delusions
1328
01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:00,600
that she told him and the
delusion, she told the other
1329
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:03,500
doctors days and weeks later
were different.
1330
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:09,300
It was his opinion that her
motive for murder was the same
1331
01:17:09,300 --> 01:17:13,100
as her motive for suicide.
She saw, no way out of her life
1332
01:17:13,100 --> 01:17:16,200
with a man who gave her no help
and left her with five children.
1333
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,600
This was a way for her to escape
and the same way that she was
1334
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:21,400
trying to escape by killing
herself.
1335
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:25,600
He also liquid on this weird
tangent where he said that
1336
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:29,900
Andrea had seen a law-and-order
episode about a mother who
1337
01:17:29,900 --> 01:17:32,700
killed her children.
I had gotten away with murder.
1338
01:17:32,700 --> 01:17:36,200
Hmm.
That's going to come up later.
1339
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,900
Closing arguments happen.
Williford dramatically asked the
1340
01:17:40,900 --> 01:17:44,000
jury to sit in silence for the
three minutes that would have
1341
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,200
taken for each of the children
to die.
1342
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:51,600
I know very dramatic parnham,
just decided to reiterate what
1343
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:54,200
the psychiatrist said and let
their work speak for him.
1344
01:17:55,500 --> 01:17:58,700
The jury deliberated for three
hours and returned with a
1345
01:17:58,700 --> 01:18:03,600
verdict on March 12th. 2002
Andrea was guilty, Rusty cried
1346
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,300
in the courtroom.
Andrea tried to give her brother
1347
01:18:06,300 --> 01:18:09,900
Brian a smile.
But cried as they, let her out
1348
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:13,000
the nation debated, whether she
could have death penalty or not.
1349
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:17,000
Every imaginable concept was run
through the verdict was unfair.
1350
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,100
Give her life in prison.
The verdict is fair as you
1351
01:18:19,100 --> 01:18:21,600
deserve to die.
Would it have been different if
1352
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:25,000
the jurors had known about the
Not Guilty by insanity?
1353
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:26,100
You rolling.
Yes.
1354
01:18:26,100 --> 01:18:28,000
Why are they allowed to know
this information?
1355
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:29,700
They would have definitely been
different.
1356
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:34,700
And can I say something, I all
the psychologists in this, I
1357
01:18:34,700 --> 01:18:38,100
just noticed a Galaxy psychology
going on with it.
1358
01:18:38,100 --> 01:18:40,500
Just give me like a huge brain
boner.
1359
01:18:40,500 --> 01:18:43,500
Right now, I'm just learning all
this cool stuff.
1360
01:18:43,500 --> 01:18:44,800
It was like, oh my God.
Yes.
1361
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,300
Well, are you ready for this
bombshell?
1362
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:48,000
Yeah.
Go ahead.
1363
01:18:48,500 --> 01:18:52,000
The defense discover that Park
Dietz.
1364
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:55,800
Lied.
That episode of Law & Order that
1365
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:59,200
he was sure that Andrea had seen
in told him about never
1366
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:02,200
happened.
And the best part about this is
1367
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,100
the reason why they even found
out about this is because of one
1368
01:19:05,100 --> 01:19:09,400
of the women who wrote the book
because she was that, I read the
1369
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:13,300
one that came out in 2005.
I'm her name is Suzanne.
1370
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:16,600
I forget her last name that
fast.
1371
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:20,100
I've already mentioned her like
four times Suzanne O'Malley was
1372
01:19:20,100 --> 01:19:23,300
she like, I'm Dan Suzanne.
O'Malley was a writer for Law
1373
01:19:23,300 --> 01:19:25,700
and Order.
See her name and yes.
1374
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:29,900
Yes, Susie and O'Malley is a
writer for the writer, for Law
1375
01:19:29,900 --> 01:19:34,100
and Order and almost immediately
she could, she was working.
1376
01:19:34,100 --> 01:19:36,900
She was writing for this what
she's writing this book, but she
1377
01:19:36,900 --> 01:19:41,300
was also working for Oprah and
the New York Times covering the
1378
01:19:41,300 --> 01:19:44,500
case.
So she immediately was like, no,
1379
01:19:44,500 --> 01:19:48,600
I I checked with everyone who I
know who still writes on this
1380
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:52,200
show.
There's no episode about a woman
1381
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:54,900
killing her family in a bathtub
and getting away with murder.
1382
01:19:54,900 --> 01:19:58,000
Oh, you know.
Now they did release an episode
1383
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:02,200
about that in 2004, but that is
three years after this case,
1384
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:05,300
yeah, that happened later,
right?
1385
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:11,000
So that kind of crazy that's
wild.
1386
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:14,500
That one of the, the people
like, this is a former writer
1387
01:20:14,500 --> 01:20:17,800
for a An order who is also a at
this point.
1388
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,800
Honestly, I should just like
I've read a lot of Susan,
1389
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,000
O'Malley's books for these
podcasts.
1390
01:20:23,300 --> 01:20:25,900
I need to send her an email me.
Like you know, you want to be on
1391
01:20:25,900 --> 01:20:30,500
our podcast because I like you.
But I who knew that?
1392
01:20:30,500 --> 01:20:35,900
Like I didn't realize that that
like, that's why that detail,
1393
01:20:35,900 --> 01:20:41,300
the fact that this woman was
doing this case. is ultimately
1394
01:20:41,300 --> 01:20:47,800
the reason why this case gets
overturned, I don't mind that
1395
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:51,000
because die, I don't don't be
like, come on now.
1396
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,800
So the funny thing here is that
Dietz sends a letter and he's
1397
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,100
just like, I'm an error.
I guess Andrea.
1398
01:20:56,100 --> 01:20:59,100
Never told me about this, his
reputation does take a little
1399
01:20:59,100 --> 01:21:02,800
bit of a hit, but he is still
considered to be a renowned
1400
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:07,000
successful forensic psychiatrist
parnham and Odom, ask for a
1401
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,400
mistrial immediately but judge
held declines it.
1402
01:21:10,700 --> 01:21:12,200
I mean, it was just that one
line though.
1403
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,200
We can't blink cause a mistrial
for me.
1404
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:20,200
Yeah, really okay.
Leo that's bring the jury meets
1405
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:23,600
again, to discuss sentencing and
in under an hour actually was
1406
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:26,100
under 40 minutes.
They come back and they give her
1407
01:21:26,100 --> 01:21:31,200
life in prison option for parole
in 2041, the jury even like
1408
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:34,500
barely even discuss the death
penalty, which is exactly what
1409
01:21:34,500 --> 01:21:37,000
we were talking about earlier,
which is that we just do not
1410
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,200
want to put a mom in jail, like,
Mom on death row.
1411
01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:43,800
Yeah.
Andrea didn't seem to really
1412
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:48,200
react Snooze in the courtroom.
She was sent to Mountain View
1413
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,500
unit which is a state.
Psychiatry president Eastern,
1414
01:21:50,500 --> 01:21:53,300
Texas.
Rusty did all manner of
1415
01:21:53,300 --> 01:21:55,500
interviews he could I'd his name
popped up.
1416
01:21:55,500 --> 01:21:58,900
So often in my research he
insisted his family had been a
1417
01:21:58,900 --> 01:22:02,800
victim of the poor mental health
system in the United States that
1418
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:06,600
he, he ignored that he had been
warned and said that Andrea had
1419
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:10,400
never properly been treated and
then he set up a website to
1420
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:13,500
describe his side of things and
show pictures of his family's
1421
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:14,800
and yes.
Yes, I did.
1422
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,900
Look up that website.
It's called Yates kids.org and
1423
01:22:17,900 --> 01:22:21,300
currently it is not working.
Look here, I want to call.
1424
01:22:21,500 --> 01:22:25,800
I want to call.
Now, many people believe like
1425
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:32,000
you, I'm dying, many, many
people believe like you though,
1426
01:22:32,500 --> 01:22:35,600
that Rusty was culpable and
that's the fish.
1427
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,300
Absolutely others also said that
dr.
1428
01:22:38,300 --> 01:22:41,300
Sayed should have looked further
into her medical history and
1429
01:22:41,300 --> 01:22:43,900
maybe put her on the medicine
and she had been on a 99.
1430
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:48,000
In fact dozens of emails were
sent to the local Harris County,
1431
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:52,700
DA Chuck, Rosenthal to
investigate both of them, do
1432
01:22:52,700 --> 01:22:56,700
nice Rusty, repeatedly was just
like listen it was just an hour
1433
01:22:56,700 --> 01:22:57,700
and my mom was going to be
there.
1434
01:22:57,900 --> 01:22:58,800
An hour.
Yeah.
1435
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:00,500
But you know how long it takes
to kill somebody.
1436
01:23:01,100 --> 01:23:02,400
Not very long.
Really?
1437
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,300
It takes three minutes to drop
someone what this is.
1438
01:23:04,300 --> 01:23:06,500
Or at least the child green
children though.
1439
01:23:06,500 --> 01:23:08,500
This, what they charge her for
right to become children?
1440
01:23:09,100 --> 01:23:13,600
Yeah, one minute per Jack.
Yeah, actually, every year
1441
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:15,700
before summer camp, we have to
go through water, safety
1442
01:23:15,700 --> 01:23:21,800
training, and our head lifeguard
tells us that 30 seconds, that's
1443
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:25,000
how quickly a kid can receive
lose.
1444
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,000
So much oxygen at.
They have permanent brain
1445
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:28,300
damage.
Really.
1446
01:23:28,300 --> 01:23:29,900
Yep.
Scared the crap out of me.
1447
01:23:29,900 --> 01:23:31,700
The first year I ever started
working for them.
1448
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:33,500
Oh my God.
That's like 30 seconds.
1449
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:36,900
Oh God.
What never let them out of your
1450
01:23:36,900 --> 01:23:39,700
sight when they're near water?
No, not at all terrifying.
1451
01:23:39,700 --> 01:23:40,700
Oh my God.
Okay.
1452
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:42,700
Well swimming.
This Rusty.
1453
01:23:42,700 --> 01:23:45,500
Blame the hospital and the
doctors he threatened to sue
1454
01:23:45,500 --> 01:23:48,900
them but there was no
investigation into Rusty and no
1455
01:23:48,900 --> 01:23:56,000
lawsuit.
Ultimately January 6, 2005.
1456
01:23:56,000 --> 01:24:02,600
So Three years.
After the initial verdict, the
1457
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:06,400
Texas court of appeals
overturns, Andrea sentence, dr.
1458
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:10,300
Parks Dietz, false statement,
had Prejudice, the jury, and
1459
01:24:10,300 --> 01:24:12,800
that was considered to be a
miscarriage of Justice.
1460
01:24:13,500 --> 01:24:16,700
Because essentially Dietz was
saying that she had
1461
01:24:16,700 --> 01:24:19,500
premeditated.
Like this was a premeditated
1462
01:24:19,500 --> 01:24:22,600
murder.
Okay, so, okay, so if they
1463
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:25,800
thought that she had planned
this ahead of time, yeah, and
1464
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:28,200
there's no way they were ever
going to consider.
1465
01:24:28,300 --> 01:24:32,200
That she was insane.
Prosecutors insisted.
1466
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,300
They did not purposefully
mislead the court but it didn't
1467
01:24:35,300 --> 01:24:38,500
matter.
January 9th, 2006, Andrea
1468
01:24:38,500 --> 01:24:41,600
submitted, a plea of Not Guilty.
By reason of insanity and on
1469
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:45,700
February 1st 2006, she was
granted release on bail on the
1470
01:24:45,700 --> 01:24:48,400
condition that she would stay at
a mental health facility and
1471
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:51,000
complete her treatment.
So she was actually allowed out
1472
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:53,100
of prison during the trial.
Okay?
1473
01:24:53,900 --> 01:24:58,200
July 25th, 2006 after three days
of deliberation, Andrea Yates
1474
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:02,000
Was found not guilty and
committed to the North Texas
1475
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,500
State Hospital at Vernon campus
about a year later.
1476
01:25:05,900 --> 01:25:09,500
She was deemed well enough to go
to a low-security facility and
1477
01:25:09,500 --> 01:25:13,900
Kerrville Texas where she has
been at the Kerrville state
1478
01:25:13,900 --> 01:25:17,000
hospital.
She's currently 56 years old and
1479
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,800
enjoys arts and crafts.
Nice Mystery of Life in there
1480
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:28,200
then yeah she the she could
potentially be released its
1481
01:25:28,300 --> 01:25:30,800
Highly unlikely that.
Yeah I don't think with
1482
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,900
everything that she went through
and how many years she went
1483
01:25:33,900 --> 01:25:40,800
untreated unfortunately, mental
like severe mental health stuff
1484
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:44,900
does change not your brain
chemistry, but it almost changes
1485
01:25:44,900 --> 01:25:50,200
like the way your brain works.
They have done, they've taken, I
1486
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:55,600
forget what those CAT scan.
Yes, cat-scans of people with
1487
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:59,000
different mental illnesses, and
compared those to people who are
1488
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:05,800
neurotypical and you're like,
your synapses fire differently.
1489
01:26:05,900 --> 01:26:09,300
Hmm.
Since we're being so open about
1490
01:26:09,300 --> 01:26:14,100
my mental health, this episode,
one of the things that I learned
1491
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:19,000
after having a very traumatic
childhood before I was adopted,
1492
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,600
is that I am consistently in
fight or flight mode.
1493
01:26:23,500 --> 01:26:28,000
My brain automatically assumes,
the worst thing is going to
1494
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,400
happen.
How can I navigate?
1495
01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:33,900
How to deal with this?
And I am 33 years old.
1496
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,400
It's just something that I've
learned to deal with and that I
1497
01:26:36,407 --> 01:26:41,100
have, I cannot trust my instant
reaction to things.
1498
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:49,400
I have to stop and go.
You can work through this, this
1499
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:54,900
is not life or death, but
because when I was so little so
1500
01:26:54,900 --> 01:27:00,000
much was life and death and more
than likely when I was, my brain
1501
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,200
was forming itself and becoming
a big people brain.
1502
01:27:03,700 --> 01:27:08,300
I didn't get a chance to not
constantly be in that sense of
1503
01:27:08,300 --> 01:27:14,400
anxiety and fear as a kid.
I mean speaking from Like my
1504
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:18,600
son, like I can just see like
how all this.
1505
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:22,000
He's very anxious to is.
He does suffer from anxiety.
1506
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:26,500
He does and I can just see like,
if you learn how to deal with
1507
01:27:26,500 --> 01:27:27,900
it.
Exactly, if you didn't have any
1508
01:27:27,900 --> 01:27:31,700
help for it at all, then, you
know, then I can just see him
1509
01:27:31,700 --> 01:27:36,300
growing up with just.
Just two biggest, I don't know,
1510
01:27:36,300 --> 01:27:39,800
just having like a bad time.
Basically, the nice thing about
1511
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:44,900
it is that you have, you know,
sort, Help with this.
1512
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:47,900
Yes, you don't have to just be
anxious all the time.
1513
01:27:47,900 --> 01:27:50,500
It was amazing to me.
I'd like 28 years old.
1514
01:27:50,700 --> 01:27:55,300
I remember like telling my ex at
the time like do you know how
1515
01:27:55,300 --> 01:27:57,000
wonderful it is?
Not to worry about you all the
1516
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,800
time because I just assumed
that, that was how all people
1517
01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:03,800
were I assumed that if I called
like that normal, like the
1518
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,800
everybody freaked out when you
called your parent and they
1519
01:28:06,808 --> 01:28:10,100
didn't pick up the phone and
like, when I was a teenager, I
1520
01:28:10,100 --> 01:28:13,900
would call my parents repeatedly
over and over and over and Over
1521
01:28:13,900 --> 01:28:15,800
again.
If they weren't home on time, I
1522
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,600
was always afraid.
I didn't think I didn't think
1523
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:20,300
that was, I thought that was how
everybody was.
1524
01:28:20,300 --> 01:28:23,200
I thought that was normal.
And then all of a sudden I'm
1525
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:26,000
like it's not only it's you
know, so you have to constantly
1526
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:29,600
they call them automatic
negative thoughts, ants and you
1527
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:32,100
just have to learn how to
challenge your own brain.
1528
01:28:32,700 --> 01:28:37,700
And go is this is this as bad as
you're making it out to be?
1529
01:28:37,700 --> 01:28:40,700
Probably not need some bug spray
froz ants.
1530
01:28:40,700 --> 01:28:43,500
But remember we talked about how
Andrea Yates was.
1531
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:46,600
Suffering from depression and
things when she was a teenager.
1532
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:48,300
Yeah.
Or in middle school.
1533
01:28:48,500 --> 01:28:52,400
So, it's very likely that some
of these Pathways and things
1534
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:54,800
that she struggled, you know,
this was happening during her
1535
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:58,300
formative years to and the thing
is, your brain also doesn't stop
1536
01:28:58,300 --> 01:29:00,700
developing until you hit your
leg mid-20s.
1537
01:29:01,100 --> 01:29:05,800
So that's also when she first
met Rusty and she got
1538
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:08,400
indoctrinated into that weird
religion.
1539
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,000
So, all these things are going
on in her brain and she was
1540
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:15,800
constantly led to believe that.
I mean, it was honestly it
1541
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:19,200
sounds very cold like you and I
talked about cults every so
1542
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:21,800
often, it sounds very cult-like.
So I really doubt that she will
1543
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:24,600
probably ever be released but at
least she will have some
1544
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:27,600
semblance of A okay life.
Yeah, yeah.
1545
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:31,000
And that's, you know, that's the
best you can do is for her as
1546
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,800
for Rusty.
Hmm, he got divorced.
1547
01:29:33,900 --> 01:29:37,200
They, he filed for divorce in
2004 before her trial was
1548
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:39,300
overturned, he no longer works
for NASA.
1549
01:29:40,300 --> 01:29:44,500
He remarried in 2006 but has
since gotten divorced, they have
1550
01:29:44,500 --> 01:29:46,200
a little boy who is 12 years
old?
1551
01:29:46,500 --> 01:29:49,700
Hmm.
Apparently he calls Andrea once
1552
01:29:49,700 --> 01:29:54,400
a month and he visits her once a
year and they talk about the
1553
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:57,200
good times, okay?
Good times.
1554
01:29:58,400 --> 01:29:59,900
According to them.
Okay.
1555
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:02,900
And that's kind of how that goes
for the two of them.
1556
01:30:03,300 --> 01:30:05,600
Okay, this is lovely.
Yep.
1557
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:09,400
It's an interesting, like I
said, like this was a weird
1558
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:13,900
thing to discuss because we
still don't probably give enough
1559
01:30:13,900 --> 01:30:21,900
respect or acknowledgement to
women who have postpartum that
1560
01:30:21,900 --> 01:30:25,900
people really don't understand
that it especially, probably for
1561
01:30:25,900 --> 01:30:28,000
somebody who's never experienced
any of those.
1562
01:30:28,300 --> 01:30:30,700
And if thoughts or suicidal
ideation or things of that
1563
01:30:30,700 --> 01:30:36,300
nature, it's probably very scary
for somebody who has had never
1564
01:30:36,300 --> 01:30:40,500
had any mental health issues and
now all of a sudden, why do I
1565
01:30:40,508 --> 01:30:43,800
want to kill myself and my baby?
Yeah, you know.
1566
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:46,600
Yeah.
But if we did better with that
1567
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:49,800
we would probably save a lot of
children's lives and also women
1568
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:54,600
to because it is, it's totally a
completely treatable issue.
1569
01:30:55,300 --> 01:30:59,500
You just have to one being a
place where you can tell people
1570
01:30:59,500 --> 01:31:04,600
about it and not feel guilty to
be able to get the medical care
1571
01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:09,100
that you need and move.
You know, and then could get
1572
01:31:09,100 --> 01:31:12,500
that Continuous Care.
It's not, this is not a
1573
01:31:12,500 --> 01:31:15,100
one-and-done thing.
Nothing mental health-related is
1574
01:31:15,100 --> 01:31:20,000
one and no, no, no.
I'm sure anybody listening has
1575
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:24,500
any sort of diagnosis knows that
it's nonstop.
1576
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:31,300
Yeah, I definitely will Freaky
refer to it as recovery, I'm
1577
01:31:31,300 --> 01:31:32,500
fine.
Most of the time.
1578
01:31:33,700 --> 01:31:38,400
Every once in a while say I'm
not and you just gotta work
1579
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:42,000
through those days.
Save but yeah like I said I
1580
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:46,000
started out being like there is
absolutely no justification for
1581
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:48,900
why a woman would kill her
children and as I was going
1582
01:31:48,900 --> 01:31:51,000
through these two different
books and all these noodles news
1583
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:55,500
articles like well yeah when I
got to the trial I was like I
1584
01:31:55,500 --> 01:31:57,200
don't know which side I want to
be.
1585
01:31:57,200 --> 01:32:00,700
All right now, right is because
on one hand you totally are like
1586
01:32:00,700 --> 01:32:03,300
oh these poor babies.
And on the other hand And you're
1587
01:32:03,300 --> 01:32:06,800
just like, poor Andrea.
Yeah.
1588
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:09,600
Let's did she ever have a
chance?
1589
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:14,300
Yeah, that's poor babies before.
So, if you are a Christian in
1590
01:32:14,300 --> 01:32:16,900
one of these weird
fundamentalist organizations,
1591
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:21,700
get out Brad, like being forced
to do that whole Barefoot
1592
01:32:21,700 --> 01:32:24,300
pregnant thing sounds like, oh,
just a raw deal.
1593
01:32:24,300 --> 01:32:26,600
What the hell is that?
That's where you just hang out.
1594
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:28,000
You know, you're barefoot and
pregnant.
1595
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,600
You cook in the kitchen and you
make babies, that's what they
1596
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:32,200
want.
The women to do is some of those
1597
01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:34,000
work.
So just like a Housewife, pretty
1598
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:34,500
much.
Yeah.
1599
01:32:34,500 --> 01:32:36,600
Pretty much.
But a housewife with absolutely
1600
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:39,400
no power, like, it's really
interesting because like, I hear
1601
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:41,700
like the old, like black ladies
talk about, like, you know,
1602
01:32:41,700 --> 01:32:43,900
listen, I might have been at
home, but I was in charge of the
1603
01:32:43,900 --> 01:32:45,900
house, right?
Of course, in their churches,
1604
01:32:45,900 --> 01:32:47,500
you're at home and you're not in
charge.
1605
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:52,100
Oh, basically a slave.
Yeah, pretty much popping out
1606
01:32:52,100 --> 01:32:54,700
babies like, you know, my
grandma would have been like,
1607
01:32:54,700 --> 01:32:57,700
listen, he comes home and he
gives the check to me and then I
1608
01:32:57,700 --> 01:33:01,100
make sure all the bills are paid
and I give him some of his money
1609
01:33:01,100 --> 01:33:04,300
back so he can do what he wants.
Was this all goes.
1610
01:33:04,300 --> 01:33:06,000
So yeah.
That's I mean that's how it is
1611
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:08,600
sometimes with these you know
because Who would know what the
1612
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:11,400
house needs better than the
person who's there all the time.
1613
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:14,400
Absolutely.
But regardless, oh my God, it
1614
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:17,700
was a, it was a pretty intense.
That was, yeah, that was a
1615
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:20,100
roller coaster.
It.
1616
01:33:20,300 --> 01:33:22,200
There you go.
That's what we're going to say.
1617
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:24,300
It was a fucking roller coaster
ride.
1618
01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:40,500
Oh my God.
What do you have for me today?
1619
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:49,900
All right, so I know a lot of
people may know that me and
1620
01:33:49,900 --> 01:33:55,800
Brittany Live in Pennsylvania.
We do.
1621
01:33:55,900 --> 01:33:59,100
Yeah and a lot of my friends

01:34:10,500 --> 01:34:16,200
with to worry about that.
My-my boss will randomly be like
1627
01:34:16,300 --> 01:34:19,700
and then you were talking about
and I'm like you're right you're
1628
01:34:19,700 --> 01:34:26,000
right that's what we say.
But we do often mention that we
1629
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:29,700
are from central Pennsylvania.
I know we like you mentioned it
1630
01:34:29,700 --> 01:34:31,600
like another, that's good or
not, you never know.
1631
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:34,100
And people don't know where
central Pennsylvania is there.
1632
01:34:34,100 --> 01:34:35,500
Like, what the hell central
Pennsylvania?
1633
01:34:35,500 --> 01:34:38,600
Like you not at all Adelphia
friggin truth.
1634
01:34:40,900 --> 01:34:43,800
This is true.
Well today, I'll be bringing you
1635
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:48,000
some urban legends and /
hauntings from our little neck
1636
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:49,600
of the woods.
Oh that's lovely.
1637
01:34:49,700 --> 01:34:54,600
And that may be new to some and
who chew others.
1638
01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:57,700
I mean I'm pretty sure everybody
from around the area they know
1639
01:34:57,700 --> 01:35:02,200
all of the legends from the
area.
1640
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:07,900
Oh most of the info was brought
to me by a very good friend of
1641
01:35:07,907 --> 01:35:14,400
mine named is Christine and this
lady.
1642
01:35:15,100 --> 01:35:18,800
She she basically like helped me
when I first started skating.
1643
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:22,900
Oh cool.
So my roller derby career.
1644
01:35:22,900 --> 01:35:25,800
Yeah.
And she's always down the skate
1645
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:31,900
whenever if she's free that's
important.
1646
01:35:31,900 --> 01:35:35,600
But yeah, yeah, like I asked
her, you know, what are some
1647
01:35:36,500 --> 01:35:39,700
local Tales from your - would I
could talk.
1648
01:35:39,900 --> 01:35:43,000
About and like she gave me like
this whole as she blew up my
1649
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:48,800
messenger about this only pixel.
Like I think one from her whole
1650
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:51,700
list because other ones I like I
can talk about this but it'd
1651
01:35:51,700 --> 01:35:56,800
probably be like too long.
Well, okay, yeah, I don't know.
1652
01:35:56,900 --> 01:36:00,000
But whatever, I'm pretty sure
she's listening so.
1653
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:02,100
Hi Christine, thanks for the
info.
1654
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:05,900
Hi.
Christine All right.
1655
01:36:05,900 --> 01:36:08,200
Now we're giving out our actual
location.
1656
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:11,200
We don't need stalkers at all.
Amen.
1657
01:36:11,900 --> 01:36:14,200
I'll be talking about different
stories from different cities
1658
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:18,700
and Central PA, or I think one's
actually not in Central PA is
1659
01:36:18,700 --> 01:36:22,400
the one, the last one I'm going
to be telling you, but two are
1660
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:25,100
from central Pennsylvania.
Oh, interesting.
1661
01:36:25,100 --> 01:36:28,500
I don't know.
Like okay, you don't know a lot
1662
01:36:28,500 --> 01:36:30,800
from Central think.
I know some about some of the
1663
01:36:30,900 --> 01:36:34,100
the far reaches of our state,
you know, up near Eerie, you
1664
01:36:34,108 --> 01:36:37,200
don't know anything from From
our, I don't think so huh.
1665
01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:40,900
Okay.
And I also won't be talking
1666
01:36:40,900 --> 01:36:45,800
about Gettysburg because one
that's Gettysburg has too many
1667
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:49,400
fucking ghost stories choose
from and to everybody knows
1668
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:51,700
Gettysburg.
Yeah, his Holiness fuck.
1669
01:36:51,700 --> 01:36:54,700
So.
All right.
1670
01:36:56,800 --> 01:37:00,800
Okay, so wait, have you heard of
seven?
1671
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:02,400
Gates of?
Hell yes.
1672
01:37:02,500 --> 01:37:06,000
Okay great.
I was going to tell you that one
1673
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:10,800
first, but, It's a, I mean you
can still tell the people I was
1674
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:14,000
gonna tell tell I was just going
to go over it because it's not
1675
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:17,500
like something as not like
something I wrote down those
1676
01:37:17,500 --> 01:37:21,500
ones where I feel like every
okay, I hate to say it this way.
1677
01:37:21,500 --> 01:37:27,500
But like every middle of like
nowhere, place kind of has won
1678
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:30,700
the user have something like
this or like the portal to
1679
01:37:30,700 --> 01:37:33,000
portal to hell, or some shit.
Like yeah.
1680
01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:35,800
Like I think New Jersey has some
type of shit like that.
1681
01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:37,900
Yeah, everyone always has like a
place.
1682
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:44,400
I swear, if you go through it,
things will happen, well, always
1683
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:48,300
wanted to go.
There's no such place.
1684
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:53,900
I mean there is but there's not
I can get to it later but not
1685
01:37:53,900 --> 01:37:55,100
really wanna get into it right
now.
1686
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:59,000
I wanted to be real, it's sort
of real but its not real.
1687
01:37:59,300 --> 01:38:02,900
It's not I don't know how else
to explain it.
1688
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:05,700
Anyway, let's start off with one
story.
1689
01:38:05,900 --> 01:38:09,800
That oh, by the way, this story
like you said everywhere has a
1690
01:38:09,808 --> 01:38:13,800
place like this.
Basically, everywhere everywhere
1691
01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:18,500
has a place like this one too.
And this is place a place that
1692
01:38:18,500 --> 01:38:21,900
many people had tested out and
there seems to be an answer for
1693
01:38:21,900 --> 01:38:27,100
it, so yeah.
Stop.
1694
01:38:27,500 --> 01:38:29,500
Stop it.
Christian is also tested this
1695
01:38:29,500 --> 01:38:31,800
out.
I think I know what this is.
1696
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:32,500
Oh my God.
Continue.
1697
01:38:33,100 --> 01:38:35,900
Okay, Louis Barre.
Pennsylvania.
1698
01:38:36,700 --> 01:38:43,500
Now this one is, I think it's
off of Route. 83 there's a hill
1699
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:48,600
and if you just so happen to a,
put your car in neutral at the
1700
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:53,300
bottom of this hill, it will
seem to roll backwards up the
1701
01:38:53,300 --> 01:38:57,900
hill as this the The one with
the handprint.
1702
01:38:57,900 --> 01:38:59,600
Yeah, on your car?
Okay, sure is.
1703
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:02,400
So I have heard about these.
I just didn't realize they were
1704
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:05,300
in Pennsylvania.
I heard about this like in like
1705
01:39:05,300 --> 01:39:07,700
Virginia.
Well, this is called Gravity
1706
01:39:07,700 --> 01:39:11,600
Hill and like, like you said,
Virginia.
1707
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:14,200
This isn't the only one in
Pennsylvania and like, there are
1708
01:39:14,200 --> 01:39:17,200
two other places in Pennsylvania
with gravity hills.
1709
01:39:17,300 --> 01:39:21,800
Oh, and this isn't the only
place in America that has a
1710
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:23,600
Gravity Hill.
Oh, okay.
1711
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:29,500
Then like, Over the place.
That would explain that then no.
1712
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:34,500
But this one is close to home.
So, I know totally.
1713
01:39:34,900 --> 01:39:36,800
So this is the one that your
friend is actually.
1714
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:42,100
Yeah, absolutely experienced.
Now, there is, of course, a
1715
01:39:42,100 --> 01:39:45,700
legend behind this from what I
could piece together.
1716
01:39:46,900 --> 01:39:52,800
There was a school bus that
whose brakes just gave out and
1717
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:56,000
bus, just rolled into the
intersection down this road and
1718
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:59,100
of course, I got into an
accident and the children on
1719
01:39:59,100 --> 01:40:00,600
board.
All died.
1720
01:40:01,500 --> 01:40:04,200
Poor babies.
Poor baby for babies.
1721
01:40:04,200 --> 01:40:06,900
Yes.
Now, if you happen to try it,
1722
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:11,900
it's said that the reason why
the car moves backwards is
1723
01:40:11,900 --> 01:40:15,700
because the children from the
accident are said to be the
1724
01:40:15,700 --> 01:40:17,700
ones.
Pushing your car back from the
1725
01:40:17,700 --> 01:40:19,800
intersection to save you from
their fate.
1726
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:23,300
Yep.
Remember hearing about this one
1727
01:40:23,300 --> 01:40:24,400
is a kid.
Yeah.
1728
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:30,200
Now, our gravity hills and I'm
pretty sure any other Gravity
1729
01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:33,400
Hill is actually just an optical
illusion.
1730
01:40:33,900 --> 01:40:38,800
Oh yeah, it makes you.
It makes it seem like you're
1731
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:41,300
rolling backwards uphill when
you're inside the car.
1732
01:40:41,700 --> 01:40:42,700
That's it.
Yeah.
1733
01:40:43,100 --> 01:40:49,000
Huh I don't like I talk to
Christine, she said she didn't
1734
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:52,700
test out the handprint thing
because her car was white.
1735
01:40:55,900 --> 01:40:57,900
So she didn't see any hand
prints on the car.
1736
01:40:58,100 --> 01:41:00,300
I mean, she could put a little,
you know, brown dirt on it.
1737
01:41:00,300 --> 01:41:02,500
Rub it around a little bit.
Yeah get your Carter.
1738
01:41:02,500 --> 01:41:06,600
Yeah, listen for science.
Christine for Sian my God.
1739
01:41:08,100 --> 01:41:13,300
So apparently, the one in the
lose, Barry is the best one to
1740
01:41:13,300 --> 01:41:15,600
visit in Pennsylvania.
Hmm.
1741
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:19,800
Because you can't like what I
read for.
1742
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:23,600
His one article is that the
other two gravity hills you can
1743
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:28,200
see the optical illusion like
you can see how it how it does
1744
01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:29,800
it when you're outside of the
car.
1745
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,200
I'm actually really interested
in seeing the Illusion part of
1746
01:41:32,200 --> 01:41:33,200
this.
Yeah I do.
1747
01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:36,600
I got a like it's the thing that
we don't we might have to do but
1748
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:39,500
I don't want to do it.
It and I'll tell you why it's do
1749
01:41:39,500 --> 01:41:42,300
during the daytime.
I'll tell you why.
1750
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:51,100
So, It's also advised to use as
much caution as you can sense
1751
01:41:51,100 --> 01:41:54,700
this gravity.
He'll lose Barry is on a busy
1752
01:41:54,700 --> 01:41:58,000
road.
Well actually never mind that
1753
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:00,100
we're not going to like, put
ourselves in actual danger.
1754
01:42:00,100 --> 01:42:02,300
No, no.
I actually like the two roads
1755
01:42:02,300 --> 01:42:05,800
that at the intersection is on
our two busy roads.
1756
01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:10,900
So, it's advised to do this,
which makes sense because the
1757
01:42:10,900 --> 01:42:12,900
legend is about like a car
accident.
1758
01:42:12,900 --> 01:42:15,300
So, like, don't cause a car
accident, you know, you're
1759
01:42:15,300 --> 01:42:18,000
trying to do.
This thing, like if you visit
1760
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:21,100
PA, you can go to lose.
Barry PA just be and you look
1761
01:42:21,100 --> 01:42:27,000
for this Gravity Hill.
Please be cautious because you
1762
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:28,800
don't want to cause another
accident and we don't want to be
1763
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:30,700
title.
Telling ghost stories about your
1764
01:42:30,700 --> 01:42:37,100
ass.
Oh, also, I want I want to
1765
01:42:37,108 --> 01:42:41,700
mention that this story in the
next one will be telling they
1766
01:42:41,700 --> 01:42:45,300
are not advertised at all, by
the towns.
1767
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:49,500
Like they like nobody
advertisers, that know these are
1768
01:42:49,500 --> 01:42:51,600
things.
You like, I'm pretty sure I
1769
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:53,800
heard about these or read about
these randomly.
1770
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:57,700
When I was like a teenager
reading like spooky forums and
1771
01:42:57,700 --> 01:43:02,200
stuff and people talking about
doing things haunted houses in
1772
01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:05,400
Pennsylvania.
You know, haunted Has stuff like
1773
01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:07,900
that.
Yeah, because nobody ever wants
1774
01:43:07,900 --> 01:43:10,500
like nobody who lives there.
Once randoms coming.
1775
01:43:10,500 --> 01:43:13,500
No, no, they don't.
No not at all.
1776
01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:16,500
Please don't ya.
Oh goodness.
1777
01:43:16,700 --> 01:43:19,200
Okay, so next door that was
Story.
1778
01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:23,400
One number two, I'm pretty sure
you're going to notice one as
1779
01:43:23,407 --> 01:43:24,600
soon as I start talking about
it.
1780
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:29,900
Okay, so if you play horror
video games, like me and
1781
01:43:29,900 --> 01:43:33,800
Brittany do.
Yes, once again, I am bringing
1782
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:37,300
up games.
Because the center, this is just
1783
01:43:37,300 --> 01:43:39,500
what we do, this is what you,
this is what I do like video
1784
01:43:39,500 --> 01:43:41,900
games and if they, you know,
connect with stuff I want to
1785
01:43:41,900 --> 01:43:43,500
talk about, I won't talk about
it.
1786
01:43:44,700 --> 01:43:47,700
So if you know anything about
video games, horror video games,
1787
01:43:47,700 --> 01:43:52,200
you might know this one as well,
and Columbia County.
1788
01:43:52,700 --> 01:43:57,100
There's a near ghost town with a
population of nine.
1789
01:43:57,100 --> 01:44:01,600
As of 2019, it just sort.
It was 12:00.
1790
01:44:02,500 --> 01:44:05,700
Yes, as a population.
You gave me a look like you
1791
01:44:05,700 --> 01:44:07,900
already knew what I was talking.
Everybody knows about this.
1792
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:12,800
Of course it's name is
Centralia, Centralia,
1793
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:17,600
Pennsylvania and it is what they
base, Silent Hill.
1794
01:44:17,900 --> 01:44:21,100
Well, the movie, the movie and
the game, actually, the first, I
1795
01:44:21,100 --> 01:44:23,300
don't remember, I didn't know
that the game was based on.
1796
01:44:23,300 --> 01:44:26,100
This is the, the first game was
based off of it too.
1797
01:44:27,100 --> 01:44:29,400
I know the movie was definitely
based off of it is not a movie.
1798
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:31,800
Definitely, they totally pulled
everything.
1799
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:36,300
Oh, yeah, absolutely. now, if
you don't know what Silent Hill
1800
01:44:36,300 --> 01:44:40,700
is, Google it.
I'm not telling you about it.
1801
01:44:40,700 --> 01:44:44,000
No no this is worth.
This is worth talking about
1802
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:48,600
Silent Hill was one of the I
would say one of the forerunners
1803
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,100
of survival Horror.
Oh yeah.
1804
01:44:51,100 --> 01:44:55,400
I mean you walked through this.
You were a man on a quest for
1805
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:56,700
your daughter.
Yeah.
1806
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:00,400
In this town that you'd never
heard of before called Silent
1807
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:04,000
Hill and one of the interesting
things about the game itself was
1808
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:08,200
that the game engine that the
time could not, Render the
1809
01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:13,200
entire game at the same time,
not like now where it loads a
1810
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:16,500
whole level in 30 seconds, it
would load as you were walking.
1811
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:21,900
So what they did to allow the
game to slowly render and you
1812
01:45:21,900 --> 01:45:25,900
not to be aware of, it was the
entire town is covered in fog.
1813
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:28,300
Yes.
And as you walk through the fog,
1814
01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:33,300
it just gave a great Ambiance
and experience and just straight
1815
01:45:33,300 --> 01:45:36,400
chills of you not knowing and
then your guy had a little
1816
01:45:36,400 --> 01:45:39,300
radio.
And the radio would begin to
1817
01:45:39,300 --> 01:45:43,000
like get staticky when it was
somewhere near a monster.
1818
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,200
But of course, you couldn't tell
where it was coming from because
1819
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:47,800
you are walking through the fog.
It was very sick.
1820
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:49,700
It's wonderful.
The story itself is a little
1821
01:45:49,700 --> 01:45:53,400
weird, but yeah, as they
progressed as the movies and
1822
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:55,600
games per guest to get some
more, we're not talking about
1823
01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:58,000
the game and the movies, every,
it's is worth it for the first
1824
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:00,100
one alone.
Absolutely the first, and second
1825
01:46:00,100 --> 01:46:01,400
one, actually, I like those
bills.
1826
01:46:01,500 --> 01:46:06,000
Yeah.
But yet, now, you ask, why is
1827
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:07,300
this basement on the hill?
Is it?
1828
01:46:07,400 --> 01:46:09,300
Because there's a pyramid headed
dude.
1829
01:46:09,300 --> 01:46:11,000
Stalking around with a huge
sword.
1830
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:12,100
Nope.
No.
1831
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:15,900
It's because of the coal fire
burning beneath the town.
1832
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:21,500
Yep.
Back in 1966, a fire started and
1833
01:46:21,500 --> 01:46:27,000
one of the coal mining towns.
Well I guess one of the and not
1834
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:28,100
going to say one of the cool
money.
1835
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:32,200
Yeah there you go.
Officials had tried to light a
1836
01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:36,500
fire there too.
I guess control something and it
1837
01:46:36,500 --> 01:46:40,400
got out of control.
Troll and it hit a coal vein and
1838
01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:45,000
which led down to the mine in.
Control burns aren't entirely
1839
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:48,500
all that like new.
It's, it's something that places
1840
01:46:48,500 --> 01:46:51,300
that have a lot of wildfires and
things do consistently but I
1841
01:46:51,308 --> 01:46:53,200
guess they just didn't do a good
job.
1842
01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:55,900
No because it destroyed the
entire town.
1843
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:00,800
I sure as fuck did.
So as I went down to the mine
1844
01:47:00,900 --> 01:47:06,100
deep in the mind it slowly began
to spread I can't remember.
1845
01:47:06,300 --> 01:47:07,300
I'm sure you probably wrote
this.
1846
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:10,000
This down how long they think
this is going to be burning for
1847
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:13,600
because it's already been, like
70, 80 years, isn't it?
1848
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:15,300
It's been 50 years.
It's been 50 years.
1849
01:47:15,300 --> 01:47:16,500
Okay.
How long are they think it's
1850
01:47:16,500 --> 01:47:18,600
going to continue burning on?
They said it can burn for like
1851
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:20,900
another Century.
Holy crap, if it's not contain,
1852
01:47:20,900 --> 01:47:23,900
so we'll be long gone before
this is Dunya.
1853
01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:27,600
But the cool thing is that
people do in Pennsylvania.
1854
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:29,800
At least that I've seen people
do is during winter.
1855
01:47:30,100 --> 01:47:32,500
They go out there.
It's like a six hour drive for
1856
01:47:32,500 --> 01:47:35,900
us.
It's real far away, is it?
1857
01:47:35,900 --> 01:47:39,100
I heard it was way, way way.
Way out and the road to get
1858
01:47:39,100 --> 01:47:40,700
there.
Now has been destroyed.
1859
01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:43,600
Britney, you know, how to get
there?
1860
01:47:43,600 --> 01:47:46,800
Brittany, mr.
Ransome, yes, you're really with
1861
01:47:46,800 --> 01:47:48,800
deep story.
Oh, I'm sorry.
1862
01:47:51,500 --> 01:47:53,000
I thought it was really far away
though.
1863
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:56,900
No, it's in Colombia now I got
it to a GPS.
1864
01:47:57,000 --> 01:48:00,100
We're gonna tear your story ygp.
Oh my god.
1865
01:48:02,100 --> 01:48:07,100
Oh so since the fire burns so
deeply there's no real way to
1866
01:48:07,100 --> 01:48:12,100
control it or contain it soon on
the ground fire.
1867
01:48:12,300 --> 01:48:18,000
Reach the actual Town causing
the roads to split and crack and
1868
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:20,500
toxic smoke would start
spreading start.
1869
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:24,300
Being out of the cracks air
quality, started getting
1870
01:48:24,300 --> 01:48:29,500
dangerous and it took about 20
years before the government gave
1871
01:48:29,500 --> 01:48:34,500
the order to evacuate town.
Now, there are very few
1872
01:48:34,500 --> 01:48:41,100
buildings left in the town,
including a church, which is,
1873
01:48:41,100 --> 01:48:43,500
I'm pretty sure they based the
movie, Silent Hill awful.
1874
01:48:43,500 --> 01:48:45,800
Because there's a church in
there and that was the only safe
1875
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:49,200
place for them to be in.
Yeah, you're right and the
1876
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:53,200
church there is one thing.
I've been back in this area for
1877
01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:56,200
so long.
Not knowing that Centralia is
1878
01:48:56,200 --> 01:48:58,900
like an hour and change away.
I told you, it's me.
1879
01:48:58,900 --> 01:49:01,300
Could have gone there any time
now?
1880
01:49:01,300 --> 01:49:04,000
We gotta wait till next winter.
Not really.
1881
01:49:05,900 --> 01:49:10,100
No.
So a part of the central area is
1882
01:49:10,700 --> 01:49:12,900
the graffiti Highway.
Oh, yeah.
1883
01:49:12,900 --> 01:49:18,100
Yeah, I heard about that.
Yeah, it was once Route 61 now
1884
01:49:18,100 --> 01:49:21,900
in abandoned highway where
everyone has been except for me.
1885
01:49:21,900 --> 01:49:23,400
Apparently, we gotta go.
Yeah.
1886
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:26,300
And Brittany, I guess, we take
my friend Jenna.
1887
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:30,400
Yeah, in general joke.
Oh, you know what we can't?
1888
01:49:32,200 --> 01:49:34,800
You could see, like, if you look
at pictures, I was in pictures.
1889
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:37,500
Okay, as you can see like the
splitting of the highway where
1890
01:49:37,500 --> 01:49:42,300
we were, the fire has reached in
just a cracks and sometimes
1891
01:49:42,300 --> 01:49:46,400
actually smoke Rises up from it.
That's the part I want to see
1892
01:49:48,700 --> 01:49:52,800
well as of last year we're not
gonna be able to see it.
1893
01:49:53,500 --> 01:49:57,600
The highway was planned to be
covered with dirt and have other
1894
01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:00,700
things that have a trees and
other plants planted on it,
1895
01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:02,400
right.
I heard that it was going to
1896
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:07,200
just become a big like place but
Then what is a road?
1897
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:11,200
But a place that people just go,
like if we just go there with
1898
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:13,400
you guys.
Yeah, we just gone drive through
1899
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:16,600
the grass, but it's not a
highway anymore.
1900
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:19,500
It was just my way anymore.
It's just a big old thing.
1901
01:50:19,500 --> 01:50:22,500
Also did that get like, you
know, pushed to the side because
1902
01:50:22,500 --> 01:50:26,100
the Covenant, I'm not sure, I
didn't see, we might still be
1903
01:50:26,100 --> 01:50:28,200
able to go before they do it
when he was article.
1904
01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:30,100
I read about it.
I didn't say anything about it.
1905
01:50:30,100 --> 01:50:32,900
Being pushed back because in
2020 when they posted it, right?
1906
01:50:32,900 --> 01:50:34,400
They didn't say anything about
it was an April.
1907
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:39,700
When they actually We had.
Actually, it was back in, you
1908
01:50:39,700 --> 01:50:41,400
know, what's weird.
We have a couple of different
1909
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:43,700
abandoned highways, there's
another one.
1910
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:47,600
There's another one that's like
right sort of next to a highway.
1911
01:50:47,600 --> 01:50:49,800
Yes.
Abandon turnpike I think it's a
1912
01:50:49,808 --> 01:50:53,400
part of the turnpike that just
starts turning off and then goes
1913
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:54,400
nowhere.
Yeah.
1914
01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:58,600
And it's like why do we do this?
Look government.
1915
01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:02,600
I've definitely seen one before
and I'm like oh they're going to
1916
01:51:02,608 --> 01:51:04,400
finish that and the answer is
no.
1917
01:51:05,500 --> 01:51:08,400
Definitely not.
It's abandon and there's just a
1918
01:51:08,407 --> 01:51:13,100
nice under past that, you know,
people like to hang out and I
1919
01:51:13,100 --> 01:51:14,300
won't be there.
Exactly.
1920
01:51:14,300 --> 01:51:19,200
So you All right, so that way,
we know now is officially nobody
1921
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:21,400
there, because a couple years
ago, there were like 10 people
1922
01:51:21,400 --> 01:51:22,300
still there.
Yeah.
1923
01:51:22,300 --> 01:51:25,900
That was in 2000, was the 2019
when what I read that the
1924
01:51:25,900 --> 01:51:29,300
population was, I'm not sure if
anyway, so I would probably
1925
01:51:29,300 --> 01:51:32,000
still go to the ghost town.
Yeah, that's where I want to go.
1926
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:34,300
I don't want to see the highway
but we probably can't get to the
1927
01:51:34,308 --> 01:51:39,400
highway, okay, because it's
probably covered by dirt by now,
1928
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:43,100
let's see population 9 as a
20-19.
1929
01:51:43,100 --> 01:51:45,300
I guess we'll find out soon
because the census was just
1930
01:51:45,300 --> 01:51:45,900
done.
Yes.
1931
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:48,600
It's true.
So if nobody is there anymore, I
1932
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:51,400
guess there was no wonderful.
Census report out.
1933
01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:52,700
Yeah.
We'll see.
1934
01:51:52,700 --> 01:51:55,100
We'll see.
But you know, that's a cool.
1935
01:51:55,100 --> 01:51:57,200
I yeah.
I forgot about the graffiti
1936
01:51:57,200 --> 01:52:01,000
Highway though.
That's like the anything know
1937
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:03,600
what I've always wanted to do is
that people go and they take
1938
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:05,300
pictures there and wintertime.
Yeah.
1939
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:08,800
Because the steam coming out of
the ground is extra visible.
1940
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:10,800
When it's so cold.
This is true.
1941
01:52:10,900 --> 01:52:13,400
And you take cool pictures.
I just remember being in high
1942
01:52:13,400 --> 01:52:16,600
school and I was, and I found
out and I Was telling people
1943
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:18,000
about Silent.
Hills are like, you notice a
1944
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:21,500
real Silent Hill, right?
And I was like what, where it'll
1945
01:52:21,500 --> 01:52:23,300
like Pennsylvania in
Pennsylvania.
1946
01:52:23,300 --> 01:52:25,300
I don't like where you're like,
Colombia.
1947
01:52:25,300 --> 01:52:27,400
It was like that's like a half
an hour away because I live in
1948
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:28,800
Lancaster at this time.
Yeah.
1949
01:52:28,800 --> 01:52:30,100
I'm like that's a half an hour
away.
1950
01:52:30,100 --> 01:52:32,400
We can go there.
Anytime I noticed that I
1951
01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:34,400
realized was so close.
Yeah that's what they do.
1952
01:52:34,400 --> 01:52:38,000
Call it the real side of Hell to
I so surprising I remember after
1953
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:40,800
the movie came out reading
something that said that the
1954
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:44,900
film was based off of central.
Yeah and then I had to learn
1955
01:52:44,900 --> 01:52:48,400
everything about it.
But I did forget about the
1956
01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:50,300
graffiti Highway used to be the
place where everybody would just
1957
01:52:50,300 --> 01:52:53,000
show up in chalk, all over
everything and graffiti all over
1958
01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:54,600
everything.
Absolutely.
1959
01:52:54,900 --> 01:52:58,900
That was a where our Urban
explorers were go.
1960
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:01,900
Yeah, I'm not really into urban
exploring.
1961
01:53:02,300 --> 01:53:06,300
I'm here honest, there's a think
they're called, like, the proper
1962
01:53:06,300 --> 01:53:09,400
people or something on YouTube,
the something people, and they
1963
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:11,900
go into places all around the
world that have been abandoned
1964
01:53:11,900 --> 01:53:14,900
and they get approval to go for
the most part occasionally, they
1965
01:53:14,900 --> 01:53:17,100
just do what they want.
But most of the time, they get
1966
01:53:17,100 --> 01:53:20,000
approval to go to these
locations and it's just so
1967
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:23,400
unnerving seeing something that
was once.
1968
01:53:24,900 --> 01:53:28,900
Flourishing recently, they went
to a movie theater, that was
1969
01:53:28,900 --> 01:53:32,400
only like 40 years old.
I had been abandoned I can't and
1970
01:53:32,400 --> 01:53:37,800
it just looked so freaky.
Do you know how many freakin
1971
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:40,600
abandoned, amusement parks are
in Pennsylvania, so many,
1972
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:43,000
they've gone to some of those
too many.
1973
01:53:43,100 --> 01:53:45,300
There's so many ways and
Knoebels is still going.
1974
01:53:45,300 --> 01:53:49,200
Strong Scruples is going strong,
it's never gonna close go.
1975
01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:52,000
Heck noble people go there, man,
I go there more.
1976
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:54,600
They go to Hershey Park.
I actually really like the
1977
01:53:54,600 --> 01:53:56,200
place.
It's just so freaking far away.
1978
01:53:56,200 --> 01:53:59,400
It really isn't like, well it's
a stupid long, dirt, an hour and
1979
01:53:59,400 --> 01:54:01,100
a half from here or something.
Not even.
1980
01:54:01,100 --> 01:54:03,500
I felt like when I was a kid, it
took forever to get there.
1981
01:54:03,500 --> 01:54:05,600
I'm sure in my little child
brain, that was like a six hour.
1982
01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:10,800
Drive.
I just wanna go to Knoebels
1983
01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:14,600
again and sit inside that stupid
little cart for the haunted
1984
01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:18,800
house because I was so afraid
when I was little, look, we went
1985
01:54:18,800 --> 01:54:19,600
there.
What time?
1986
01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:21,200
What year did we go there?
And it goes before.
1987
01:54:21,200 --> 01:54:23,900
Jaden was born.
Was the last time I went to
1988
01:54:23,907 --> 01:54:31,000
Knoebels and when you are babe I
was a young and what he was
1989
01:54:31,300 --> 01:54:32,400
here.
Early twenties.
1990
01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:33,500
Okay.
Yeah, true.
1991
01:54:33,500 --> 01:54:34,900
True true.
Listen.
1992
01:54:34,900 --> 01:54:36,800
I think I'll go.
I saw a picture of myself when I
1993
01:54:36,808 --> 01:54:38,700
was 23 and I was like, oh look
at my face.
1994
01:54:38,700 --> 01:54:43,000
I was such a baby.
So you when we later, all right,
1995
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:46,100
yeah, we went to with there for,
like the first time for me, and
1996
01:54:46,100 --> 01:54:47,900
I went through the haunted
house, I was like this is some
1997
01:54:47,900 --> 01:54:51,000
bullshit.
I remember being terrified of it
1998
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:53,000
as a kid.
I kept my eye screws almost the
1999
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:55,800
whole time and I want to go
through and look at it as a
2000
01:54:55,800 --> 01:54:56,400
grownup.
Yeah.
2001
01:54:56,400 --> 01:55:00,500
I don't really do haunted houses
either because it's so I don't,
2002
01:55:00,700 --> 01:55:02,100
I just don't like people yelling
at me.
2003
01:55:02,100 --> 01:55:04,200
He's like, I don't like people
jumping out at me because I have
2004
01:55:04,200 --> 01:55:08,600
reflexes yelling at me for A
money and I have reflexes and my
2005
01:55:08,600 --> 01:55:11,400
reflexes might tell me the punch
you.
2006
01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:13,600
I don't know.
So I don't do those things
2007
01:55:13,900 --> 01:55:16,200
because I don't want to attack
somebody trying to draw, just
2008
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:19,100
slide your around exactly fine.
But walking through a haunted
2009
01:55:19,100 --> 01:55:21,900
house or like that, Phil the
screens and stuff like that.
2010
01:55:22,100 --> 01:55:25,200
No, thank you.
I'm going to those because I
2011
01:55:25,200 --> 01:55:29,900
might go to jail for punching a
worker and I'm sorry.
2012
01:55:30,900 --> 01:55:34,800
Anyway, who's gonna do my final
story today?
2013
01:55:34,900 --> 01:55:38,200
I'm ready.
All right and what's
2014
01:55:38,200 --> 01:55:44,500
Pennsylvania?
There is or was is Pittsburgh
2015
01:55:44,500 --> 01:55:45,700
area.
Okay.
2016
01:55:45,900 --> 01:55:52,900
Um Western Pennsylvania there is
or was an urban legend of the
2017
01:55:52,900 --> 01:55:57,600
Green Man.
Also known as Charlie no, face.
2018
01:55:57,800 --> 01:55:59,600
I don't know this person.
Yeah, I know.
2019
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:05,400
It's good, it's good.
Yeah, I try to find ones that I
2020
01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:10,200
can't spoil, you know, I'm
trying, yeah, I'm sorry, like
2021
01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:13,200
all my stories, like Brittany's,
like, oh, wait a second, I do
2022
01:56:13,200 --> 01:56:15,500
this one.
Very exciting for me when I know
2023
01:56:15,500 --> 01:56:20,700
things.
Okay, so Legend, has it that?
2024
01:56:20,700 --> 01:56:28,500
There's a man that grows that
glows green due to a lightning
2025
01:56:28,500 --> 01:56:34,800
strike, or he was shocked by in
an industrial accident.
2026
01:56:34,900 --> 01:56:39,300
Who knows?
But we know actually, I know,
2027
01:56:39,700 --> 01:56:43,000
I'll tell you what.
Okay, apparently he would haunt
2028
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:48,100
multiple places but like,
multiple spots were kids used to
2029
01:56:48,100 --> 01:56:51,100
hang out or people, you hang out
at, like Parks, her lookout
2030
01:56:51,100 --> 01:56:58,100
spots like that.
But that make out spa and he
2031
01:56:58,100 --> 01:57:01,500
would Chase off, you know,
parked cars and, you know,
2032
01:57:01,700 --> 01:57:05,700
people just loitering around the
place. now, some people call
2033
01:57:05,700 --> 01:57:13,400
this a legend, but This was an
actual person is, this was an
2034
01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:16,900
actual person walking around.
Was he just pretending to be a
2035
01:57:16,907 --> 01:57:19,100
haunted?
No, no, no.
2036
01:57:19,600 --> 01:57:25,200
Why was he great?
Um, so his name was Raymond
2037
01:57:25,500 --> 01:57:28,000
Robinson.
Okay, look him up.
2038
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:31,400
Did Raymond, just not enjoy fun.
Is that the situation?
2039
01:57:31,400 --> 01:57:36,700
No, that's not why.
In 1919 when he was 8 years old,
2040
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:40,300
Raymond was reaching for bird's
nest on On top of an electrical
2041
01:57:40,300 --> 01:57:45,400
pole when he was shocked with
11,000 volts of electricity,
2042
01:57:45,800 --> 01:57:51,000
which sent him falling to the
ground, the shock burn his face
2043
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:55,900
and arms, leaving his eyes and
nose completely burned off or
2044
01:57:55,900 --> 01:57:58,700
out.
Oh yeah.
2045
01:57:59,400 --> 01:58:02,100
So it was actually is actual be
wasn't actual person.
2046
01:58:02,700 --> 01:58:07,200
Oh, this is sad.
So, even though this was a
2047
01:58:07,200 --> 01:58:10,700
terrible injury for him, he was
still in like, in good spirits.
2048
01:58:10,700 --> 01:58:14,200
He didn't let his injuries get
him down, there's actually get
2049
01:58:14,200 --> 01:58:19,000
him down.
Adulthood, he kept himself, he
2050
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:22,500
kept himself home making wallets
belts you know during mads for
2051
01:58:22,500 --> 01:58:24,700
people just so he can make some
type of small income.
2052
01:58:24,700 --> 01:58:27,100
What?
He was a crafter.
2053
01:58:27,100 --> 01:58:33,700
Look, I love crafty people, he
really only left his house in a
2054
01:58:33,700 --> 01:58:37,800
dead of night.
To go for a walk as not to scare
2055
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:42,100
people, not to scare anyone.
These are really, really
2056
01:58:42,100 --> 01:58:43,000
thoughtful.
Dude.
2057
01:58:43,600 --> 01:58:47,200
You really like against just
walk in all this Sudden somebody
2058
01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:51,100
screams and runs away.
Yeah, base terrible.
2059
01:58:52,500 --> 01:58:54,900
So this is when the story is
with start beginning.
2060
01:58:55,200 --> 01:59:00,900
When he's doing his walks, high
school, kids would see him
2061
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:06,700
walking from the Cars along
Route 351 and they just gonna go
2062
01:59:06,700 --> 01:59:09,600
spread the word.
Is this guy, he's apparently he
2063
01:59:09,600 --> 01:59:13,200
was green because probably
because of his like, flannel
2064
01:59:13,200 --> 01:59:15,600
day, he was wearing.
Yeah, I just saw a picture, he's
2065
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:18,000
wearing like a An army jacket.
Yeah, there you go.
2066
01:59:20,200 --> 01:59:21,400
See ya now.
Your right.
2067
01:59:21,400 --> 01:59:23,800
Is that, I guess it's a.
What is that fabric?
2068
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:27,900
Yeah, like Dickies that like
fabric.
2069
01:59:27,900 --> 01:59:29,700
What is this like, you know like
those pants?
2070
01:59:30,200 --> 01:59:32,900
Yeah, khaki.
Yeah, Green khaki there.
2071
01:59:32,900 --> 01:59:35,000
Yeah, I couldn't figure out what
it was called.
2072
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:36,700
Army fatigues or something.
There you go.
2073
01:59:36,700 --> 01:59:38,600
Yeah, he's wearing like, one of
those jackets.
2074
01:59:38,900 --> 01:59:41,400
Sure.
So many people knew Raymond,
2075
01:59:41,800 --> 01:59:46,600
many people who knew Raymond
were very friendly to him, even
2076
01:59:46,600 --> 01:59:51,000
offering him beer for his walks.
Or cigarettes, like a good time.
2077
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:53,000
Like everybody who knew this
guy.
2078
01:59:53,500 --> 01:59:56,900
Super cool people.
People who didn't know Raymond,
2079
01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:01,100
they were scared of him.
Of course you don't see him for
2080
02:00:01,100 --> 02:00:03,200
the first time and they'd run
off and try to call the cops
2081
02:00:03,800 --> 02:00:08,900
saying.
There's some buddy out there and
2082
02:00:09,500 --> 02:00:12,500
you need to come get him.
But you know, his neighbors or
2083
02:00:12,500 --> 02:00:15,000
people in the neighborhood, they
would explain to these people.
2084
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:17,100
Hey, don't call the cops.
It's just Raymond.
2085
02:00:17,400 --> 02:00:19,900
This is what happened to him on
use Only child and you know
2086
02:00:19,900 --> 02:00:21,700
this.
Why he looks like this now, no
2087
02:00:21,700 --> 02:00:23,600
reason to be no reason to be
afraid of him.
2088
02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:26,500
He's a cool guy.
All that good stuff.
2089
02:00:26,800 --> 02:00:31,400
Um, I guess now if you see him,
he's a fucking ghost.
2090
02:00:31,500 --> 02:00:39,600
Yeah, so some other people,
unfortunately, we're cruel, they
2091
02:00:39,600 --> 02:00:42,200
would give him rides.
They pick them up off the side
2092
02:00:42,200 --> 02:00:44,000
of the road when he's walking
like, hey, I'll give you a ride
2093
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:46,800
home.
Only to take him somewhere, he
2094
02:00:46,800 --> 02:00:50,600
had no idea where he was going
because he was blind.
2095
02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:52,800
Yes.
Yeah.
2096
02:00:52,800 --> 02:00:57,100
This is a very wow, kind of
picture.
2097
02:00:57,200 --> 02:00:59,300
Yeah.
Yeah.
2098
02:00:59,300 --> 02:01:01,400
How do you elect people are
amazing?
2099
02:01:02,200 --> 02:01:03,700
Their bodies?
You mean yeah.
2100
02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:07,400
He legitimately like I see why
they people referred to him as
2101
02:01:07,400 --> 02:01:10,300
no face like he really doesn't.
He's a mouth obviously because
2102
02:01:10,300 --> 02:01:12,700
no eyes.
Yeah like his skin healed over
2103
02:01:12,700 --> 02:01:16,400
that.
So I'm like he's just Vibing
2104
02:01:16,400 --> 02:01:18,000
with the world.
Yeah.
2105
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:22,900
Yeah.
Basically, anybody who knew him
2106
02:01:22,900 --> 02:01:25,000
would, you know, tell you how
nice he was, and how awesome he
2107
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:28,400
was.
He did pass away from natural
2108
02:01:28,400 --> 02:01:33,300
causes and 1985 but the legend
lives on wasn't even born yet.
2109
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:35,800
No, neither of us were born.
Yeah.
2110
02:01:37,300 --> 02:01:41,700
But yeah, but yeah, I guess they
still talk about him to this
2111
02:01:41,700 --> 02:01:44,400
day.
There goes my pain, I was
2112
02:01:44,400 --> 02:01:45,500
looking for.
I was like, what the hell is it?
2113
02:01:45,500 --> 02:01:48,800
My hair?
Spooky, Pennsylvania.
2114
02:01:50,900 --> 02:01:55,300
Those are some stories that I
like, I've looked at and I
2115
02:01:55,300 --> 02:02:00,200
wanted to do like earlier in the
podcast because You know, this
2116
02:02:00,200 --> 02:02:02,500
is where we're from.
I want to, you know, give you a
2117
02:02:02,500 --> 02:02:08,100
little heads-up and that we like
spooky stuff in this is what
2118
02:02:08,100 --> 02:02:09,500
raised us.
Great stories.
2119
02:02:09,500 --> 02:02:10,600
They were good.
Good good stuff.
2120
02:02:10,600 --> 02:02:13,800
Yeah.
I definitely want to go Central.
2121
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:17,600
I like this still a thing I want
to do but um is it the ghost
2122
02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:18,700
him?
Ghost Town?
2123
02:02:18,700 --> 02:02:20,500
Yes, I'm pretty sure it was a
ghost towns around.
2124
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:22,300
Oh yeah we could probably visit
a couple more.
2125
02:02:22,300 --> 02:02:24,000
Oh yeah.
Buts in Charlie's the one that I
2126
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:26,900
believe is an actually haunted,
it's not haunted.
2127
02:02:27,100 --> 02:02:29,200
I don't want to go to one.
That's actually haunted.
2128
02:02:29,400 --> 02:02:30,700
Well, good.
Because we're going to get lost
2129
02:02:30,700 --> 02:02:32,900
there and by the ghost or
something.
2130
02:02:33,200 --> 02:02:38,300
Don't get eaten by Ghosts.
No.
2131
02:02:41,300 --> 02:02:44,300
