[Assistant] Now, as a result of this discovery and his interest in very violent pornography and relationship with at least one victim, many have considered him a strong suspect, including myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the guy. That is my main thing, and I've said it 4500 times throughout this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, in 2022, I agree, that's a, I think that's the strongest one so far. But in 2022, it seemed like there may have been some movement in the case when police were able to use DNA to link the 1996 unsolved murder of Michelle Marie Veale to a man named Jack Alexander Bokin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a long, very violent history that included, according to the press democrat,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a spokesperson for the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office said they were looking into him in connection with the hitchhiker murders because of his violent history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the fact that his parents owned a home near Santa Rosa during the time of the killings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's interesting too. But aside from that announcement in 2022 that he was being looked into, I haven't seen any updates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And unfortunately, we won't be getting a confession because he died in prison in December of 22.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have to wonder, like, Kim Allen was holding a, uhm, it's called a soy barrel. I'm like, would you find that in his belongings and all of these women's clothing? Where did all of these women's clothing end up? These women and girls?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's the problem. I think like these people are a little bit half-assed looking, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But our last suspect finally in 2024, documentary filmmaker Skye Borgman released a four part series in which Sierra Barter, a young woman from Northern California, comes to believe that her deceased step grandfather, Jim Mordecai, was the Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to the documentary, he had, uh, excuse me, she had heard many stories from family members about her step-grandfather being a violent predator who would physically, psychologically, and sexually abuse the young woman in the family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And was accused by other young women of similar assault and abuse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And moreover, after speaking to many of the women in her family and going through some of his remaining affects, Barter comes to suspect that he may have also been the zodiac killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She claims to have turned the information over to investigators with the sheriff's office and nothing has come of her involvement as of yet. Okay. But we have been fixated on those earrings. She says in his possession was a jewelry box full of earrings, like mix matched earrings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That nobody in the family could account for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go back to that Goodwill. You gotta find out what the fuck's going on. I literally have a microphone, but I'm speaking into my water bottle right now. Go to the Goodwill and find those fucking earrings. I think she specifically cites one of the earrings. There was like an orange


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I totally get it. I give shit to Goodwill all the time. You find something that's sus, hold on to that shit. Just hold on to that. Just for future reference, I'm not mad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brutal, brutal killings will be captured and prosecuted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I totally think so. Like I said, many of these bodies were found with DNA. I mean one of them, they have semen that was found on the body. So it's like we can do something with this. That's huge. We have so much going on with familial DNA and like the genealogy stuff. There's gotta be some way to find some relative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, like you said, look at one of his relatives. Just take a look. Just to see the odds. Just take a look, because he had some stuff going on. I need to see this case solved. Just the amount of people that were killed, the ages of the people killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody was killed, Teresa was killed right before Christmas, just on her way back to see her baby and her mom. No, it's so brutal. I need to see this case solved. And I think we could. I think we could, and I'm glad that we covered it because maybe it will...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think we even had 15 minutes of peace. Of chillness. No, never. It popped off right away. It kept.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's also that middle button that kept going off too, was temperature fluctuation. So we were getting a lot of all of it, where it was like, it suddenly got colder in the room, setting off one alarm on the REM pod.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the four of us together, obviously our energies trigger something. Because, uh, you guys have, you had already been to the Lizzyborn house and done it overnight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, each room was, and what happened in each room, what came through on the spirit boxes and all of the devices were very specific, the messaging. Yeah, very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she was also the first one killed in the house and so that sort of thing where you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also we have to remember that people were forced into learning to be right handed. So perhaps it was someone who to the public and in school were right handed but naturally to them using their left handed. Exactly. Or their left hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I wonder if this lines, so we heard the closet startled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if Abby was going to put away linens or to open that closet door and then got startled, that first scrape that kind of hit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what I hate about this so much is that I'm picturing someone coming out of the closet, making eye contact with Abby. Abby's already in that spot and doesn't really know what to do. She's got nowhere to go. And the person is just coming around and trying to like almost hook her with the axe to prevent her from being able to get away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say though, with Abby getting more wax,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the first crime out of the two. So you gotta make sure. Yeah. And also it's just like, you need to make sure that it's done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so this one that I chose has a lot of lore because there's two trains of thought in terms of what this nursery rhyme is talking about, but it's Georgie Porgy. Have you heard this one? Yup. Yup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Georgie Porgy, putting in pie, kissed the girls and made them cry. When the boys come out to play, Georgie Porgy ran away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well it is believed that Georgie Porgy is based off of George Villier, the first Duke of Buckingham and King James I of England, because the two are rumored to have been lovers. Lovers. So this is a bit of queer history making its way into a nursery rhyme. Obsessed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this position, if he, if he got it, which, spoiler alert, he did, it would allow him to speak to the king as they served drinks at the royal table and basically just give him a lot of access to the king and obviously like some alone time, I'm sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, which was a very normal costume actually for all of the dancers of that time. So I pulled a photo for you to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steeny, which was a nickname named after another man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But King James, he felt like he had to speak on the situation because there were a lot of rumors and he was like, let me dispel the rumors. And so he went and officially made a speech to the privy court and said, quote,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may be sure that I love the Earl of Beckingham more than anyone else and more than you who are here assembled. I wish to speak in my own behalf and not to have it thought to be a defect, for Jesus Christ did the same and therefore I cannot be blamed. Christ had John, I have George.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] King James and George they would exchange these really romantic and like seductive sexy letters to one another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God bless you, my sweet child, and- wait. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a letter to George, King James wrote, God bless you, my sweet child and wife. And Grant, cause also he had a wife and a child, as you do back then. Everyone had a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God bless you, my sweet child and wife, and grant that ye may ever be a comfort to your dear father and husband. And then George replied with a letter that said, I naturally so love your person, and I adore all your other parts, which are more than any man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my gosh. Okay, and this is by far, I think, the sexiest line that has been written in one of their letters because years later, cause they, they had this love affair for over a decade. Years later, King James wrote another letter to George and he was a little bit more straightforward and to the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, whether you loved me now, better than at a time which I shall never forget, Farnham.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the bed's head could not be found between the master and his dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until he died. King James did pass away in 1625 and George was also to have seduced some women in his time too, so he had partners of his own outside of King James, it is thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in terms of the nursery rhyme, to go back to Georgie Porgy's nursery rhyme,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was Georgie Porgie putting in pie, kissed the girls, made them cry. When the boys come out to play, Georgie Porgie ran away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's thought that perhaps this could be in reference to George spending some time outside of his relationship with King James, kissing women who potentially were married.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then those men coming a-knockin' to have a duel and to confront George. And he's running away. He's running away and he's being protected by his lover, King James. The king. The king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scented movies. 4D. Absolutely they should. It's like the naked scene and they're like getting all seduced and it's just must.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And our sitcom for anyone that doesn't know is Sabrina and I acting out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Georgia would be into it, so would King James. There you go. But going back to this nursery rhyme for just a moment, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is some debate over what or who this nursery rhyme references, so a lot of people believe that it's the story of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Duke, George and King James the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But people also said that the line, when the boys come out to play, was actually added later, and there were no written theories about this nursery rhyme being about king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That this was in reference to George and James' affair. So they were the first people to put like in print and many, many.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we just wanted to let you know that the content that we are going to be sharing today is uhm, a bit explicit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is Morbid with a little crossover!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, that's been so fun too. I know. We've done a couple of those over the years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but we, you know what, we've got something kind of wild to talk about today. And I'm really excited about it a little bit because it's different than what we've done on our show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, so what we're going to be talking about today, and you're going to be able to hear Fran and Alvin tell this story for the most part, which is great, because you're going to hear what amazing storytellers there are. And it's going to make you want to listen to this and then jump right over to their feed and start gobbling up everything that they have to offer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will say we're, we're not gonna force you over there, but we are highly suggesting by like shoving you as hard as we can over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christopher Lee from Star Wars and Dracula and Lord of the Rings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was 17 years old and he was actually at that one. The 1939 one? Yes. And he said he didn't look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's gorgeous. Yeah, this place is gorgeous. No, this is gorge. I wanna go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is horrifying to think about, cause he's just being taken care of by this, cause she's like a nurse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course. A woman's Roman Empire is being killed. Yeah. For sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, it's so true, cause we have those too, and we were doing that, we're like, whoa, I can't hear you at all, and I was like, I could never wear these outside of the house. Nope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And thank goodness those other two women were able to talk about what happened to them, because sometimes they break them so hard that they don't even feel like they can speak out against it. Yeah, they probably saw it as like their opportunity, like, we have to do this while he's incarcerated. For sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any other outlet than hurting other human beings or yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the last thing I do. That is it. Or if I take this last sip, that's the last thing I do. I would want to be like a little tipsy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god. Oh my god, it's so stressful to think about. Yea, that's a lot to reconcile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That does happen because air will be forced out sometimes and it'll- Wow. A little bit of like a moan will come with it sometimes because it's just like trapped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They warned me ahead of time of that, thankfully, because when it happened, I was like, huh, and I was like, okay, alright, I know what that is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it can be, and it's like different, when, like different methods of it coming out, like sometimes when you cut, sometimes the air just escapes, so like it'll just be like a, huh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know that, that when you cut even. Yeah, just like there's certain ways when you're like manipulating a body, if there's trapped air somewhere, it's coming out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't they used to put like a hood over your head too? I think they did for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of them were like, you know, having to deal with doing this all the time so they would show up like, just completely wasted and like, get people in the back. I'd be so pissed if mine was drunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then sometimes I think the person who was being executed had to pay the executioner as they walked up onto the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's humiliating too. Isn't it? Like you're paying for this? Yea, that adds a level of humiliation. Yea, don't tap my pockets once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have to be able to aim correctly and like you said, you need that angle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a story. Thank you for telling us that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, to get to be like her own person. Yes. And she's such an interesting person, her and Bridget. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So sweet. So smart. So sweet, so smart, so interesting, so like multi-faceted. And so kind, I love them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but thank you. She's amazing. I highly recommend. And Girls Next Level, their podcast is so interesting to listen to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well everybody, you need to go listen to Affirmative Murder, I'm telling you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go run over and gobble up that feed because you just heard the storytelling ability. It's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chef's kiss. Everything you need. And if you guys wanna, like, shout out anything you have coming up, any of your socials, anything you wanna shout out, feel free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey weirdos, I'm Ash. And I'm Elena. And this is Morbid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels like morbid in the morning, but it's like kind of not at all. Yeaah. I woke up late today, by accident-ay. This was the day that I was- A late riser. Yeaah, this was the day that I was gonna get up at 6.30 and really move my body-ody-ody and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My alarm went off and I said, oh, let me just lay here for like two minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then your alarm is shut off. No, I'm thinking about that phrase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to, like, describe what your vibe is right now. I don't know, it's cute. I like it. Thank you. You're welcome. I'm making a scary face. I'm wearing a sweatshirt that Drew got me for Christmas that all my, uh, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills girlies will understand. It says, name em. Name em. Name em.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what it says. Her sweatshirt actually like vocalizes that when she comes in a room actually. My girly Sutton Strack, which by the way, have you watched any of the seasons with Sutton? Oh I have, I saw a little bit of Sutton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get Sutton Strack to listen to us. Or to see if she does. Or to see if she already does. Maybe she does. Maybe she does. Who knows? I don't know. I don't know either. Who knows? I'd like to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drew and I are looking for a new show right now, but like, you know when you, you don't know what you're in the mood for, but you also know, you don't know what you're in the mood for, but you know what you're in the mood not for. Yes. That's how we feel. Yeah. And like everything that I'm like, oh, we could try that. I'm like, mm, he's not in the mood for, and then he's like, oh, what about this? And I'm like, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and sorry, quickly while we're here for my Real Housewives skrillies again. Oh, we're circling back. We gotta, because the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I'm still not sure how to describe it, and you won't be either, but watch it. I don't know. I would like you to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, I don't know what it is, but. They said, like the actors, I watched an interview with them and they were like, we wanted people to leave the theater and like, drive home with whoever they came home and saw, or came to the theater and saw it with and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was gonna pick it for Scream, but I can't. I can't have like a on mic discussion in detail about that movie. You feel like so it's a no for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three scenes in particular that Hannah Berner described it perfectly on TikTok. She said your face will just go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that. So go find that on TikTok. That's interesting. Yeah. I'm interested. So I guess we'll see. Have you and Dave watched it? Watch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's also like, how are you working at a reform school as a fucking criminal doing criminal behaviors? Criminal behavior, that's the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, which again is only going to lead to more violent crimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm like, you're ensuring that you give them a chemical bath when they come in and then just like, blood-borne pathogens everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like I wonder what the escape attempt really was about. Yeaah. Probably escaping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's sworn testimony. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And why, why do you think they, do you think they paroled him so that he didn't cause any more trouble at the Preston school so that they didn't get any more bad press?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing, like, three women were murdered in almost the exact same way, and you just happen to be a suspect in all of those murders, I'm sorry. Where there's smoke and then there's smoke and then there's smoke, there's a blazing fucking fire. He 100% killed all these women. And was he convicted for this murder?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were they ever able to go back then and get the fingerprints this- there were 7 on- I don't think they were able to. Are you fucking kidding me? I know. That would have been like- It makes me crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this motherfucker very well ba- it was- it could have been a serial killer. Yeah. Obviously we can't say for sure because he wasn't convicted, but sounds to me like he was a serial killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quote-unquote. Yeah. You have to wonder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would be so interested to hear in the time after he got paroled, in the time of his death, if there was any more. To me, I'm like, he killed again. That's how I feel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well. Yeah, so COVID free up in here. I was going to say, do you have like any other news about your life? Uh, no, except for the fact that, um, I don't think he'll be listening for a long time to this because he started at the beginning, but Will Friedle from, from Boy Meets the Worlds also had COVID at the same time, so we were COVID buddies. Yeah, we were COVID brothers and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like that's only fair to shout people out when you have COVID at the same time. It's true. You know, you know, COVID brothers, COVID brothers. Yeah. Don't get it guys. It's not great. Why wouldn't you? It is not great. I don't know why you made that choice in life, Elena. I don't either. Bizarre choice. It was not awesome, but you know, COVID free, feeling good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really have any news since I last spoke to anybody. Yeah, I'm trying to think. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, ooh, I'll cover that. And then Dave was like, whoa, that was a wild one to cover. I love the journey that that just took. I was looking for cases to cover and I found it. Yeah. And this is it. This is it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, yeaah, that's what I did, and Dave helped, so shout out to him. But this is the, uh, it's a double murder, unfortunately. It's the murders of Stan Farr and Andrea Wilborn. Uhm, but at this- I don't think I've heard of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I was surprised that I hadn't because it's uhm, the basis for like a pretty popular television show. Really? Yeaah, uhm, Dallas, the soap opera. Ohhhh. Yeaah. Okay, I never watched Dallas nor did I. Nor did I. But I know of it and now I kind of want to watch it. I don't, but. Okay, that's fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and you can, you'll see why at the end of this, but at the center of these two murders is, there's a couple people, but at the, at the center that we're gonna start is Priscilla Lee Childers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was born July 30th, 1941 in Dublin, Texas. Not Ireland, to be clear. And Dublin, Texas is a small town right outside of Houston. Her mother, Audie Lee, already had two children, both boys, and Audie was just going through it, trying to raise her kids as a single parent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After she was abandoned by her husband shortly after Priscilla was born. Oh boy. He was like, oh we have three kids now, bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool, can you imagine? Love that. So with her, uh, with help from her brother Guy, Audie did her best to raise the kids right and pass down a love of arts and culture that she had developed herself when she was a kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she was also encouraged to focus on her studies and get good grades so that she could have a better life than what her mom had had and what was really available for most young women in this rural part of Texas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in 1956, when she was 16 years old,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it didn't take long before Priscilla had found another way out of Dublin. This time with a man named Jack Wilborn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlike Jasper, Jack was mature. He was actually 19 years older than Priscilla. And he owned a used car business in the suburbs of Fort Worth, Texas. So in 1960, Jack and Priscilla, after they had fallen in love, got married. They moved into a new house in Fort Worth. And at first, things were like a dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Priscilla wasn't even 20 years old. She already had a husband, a maid, a really nice house in the suburbs. And within a year, she gave birth to their first child, Jack Jr., who they referred to as Jackie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that he was followed in 1964 by her third and final child, a girl they named Andrea Lee. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now from the outside, Priscilla and Jack's marriage really seemed ideal. They had a stable income, he owned that business, they had great kids, and they were members of one of the nicest country clubs in the state. Uh oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Priscilla, not long after Andrea was born, Jack became verbally and emotionally abusive towards her. She told a friend, Greg Brown,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to go out on the swing in the backyard and just cry at night. Oh, that's so sad. Which like, you have three kids, you finally got your way out, and you think you have this- And you just start swing crying. Yea, like you think you have this fairytale life and then he just changes, like it gets so dark all of a sudden. It must be so lonely. Now the problem-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seemed was that while she had no trouble staying busy, three children and a husband that saw to the fact that she would stay busy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Priscilla didn't really have any identity aside from being a wife and a mother. And that's, that was not the only identity she wanted to have. She was seeking, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had never finished high school, she never received really any kind of specialized training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She really didn't have any marketable skills because she was 17 when she married her first husband. So she was super dependent. Exactly. She was dependent on Jack for almost everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in order to combat the growing anxiety and the depression that she was starting to feel, she decided, you know what? I'm gonna reinvent myself. Which like, I love. I love a little like, makeover moment, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She grew her hair longer than it had ever been. She dyed it platinum blonde. Oh wow. She's gorgeous. If you google a picture of her, she's beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wore heavy, a lot heavier makeup than what most Texas housewives were wearing at the time. And she started dressing in what could be considered more youthful and revealing outfits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said she looked like Brigitte Bardot, who I also think is like unbelievably gorgeous. Truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but she didn't really look like, you know, a homemaker, the mother of three young kids anymore, like what people thought that should look like. That's so absurd. Of course it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, whether the aesthetic changes helped her to feel more satisfied with her life, it's kind of unknown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each spring at the Colonial National Invitational Golf Tournament in Fort Worth, hordes of men would gather around, and this is so gross, just to get a peek at what they fondly described as her balcony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I'm assuming is her chest. Everybody needs to get it together. Like... You gotta get it together. Guys... Cause that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, one day in 1967 during a mixed doubles games on the courts of, uh, I think it's Ridgely, Ridgely a country club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Priscilla met a new admirer. Young oil tycoon Colin Davis. That's a name. Colin Davis. That's a name. Lots of, she's a, she's a, got a thing for names I think. Yea, you gotta pick a strong name. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now despite being a complete stranger to Priscilla, Cullen was very well known in and around Fort Worth as the son of Kenneth Stinky Davis. Oof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And actually that day in 1967 during that mixed doubles game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and his wife Sandra were playing against Priscilla and her friend. Oh. And that's how he met Priscilla. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With his wife. With his wife, who he was married to. Oh. But that marriage was never really a happy marriage. And Sandra went through a lot, we will come to see. Oh. According to Skip Hollinsworth, Colin was best known around Fort Worth for his way with women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his marriage to Sandra never really stopped him from pursuing women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's thinking, you know, he's this young buck. Respectability and sta-stability weren't really what he wanted. Which like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later after he divorced Sandra, Cullen would tell the press that he'd only married his first wife, quote, because it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. That's what every woman wants to hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And each was seeking to shake up their lives. So they kind of met during a time where it was, it was a perfect storm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, she hadn't exactly been looking to have an outright affair, but after their meeting on the tennis courts, Priscilla and Colin did start seeing each other regularly, but secretly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unbeknownst to them, Jack Wilborn had a sneaking suspicion that his wife was seeing somebody else, and in late December, he hired a private detective to follow Priscilla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the private detective reported back to him about this trip to Acapulco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jack in turn called Sandra Davis and informed her that her husband was fucking around on her with his wife. So in case you're not following, Jack is married to Priscilla, but Priscilla is seeing Cullen who's married to Sandra and Jack


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Call Sandra. And it's like we should probably team up here because our spouses are cheating on us with each other. Precisely. Uh, and together they did team up. They went full VH1 cheaters with a private investigator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all, including the P.I., devised a plan to wait at the airport for the plane to arrive from Mexico.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then follow the car to Green Oaks Inn where they decided they would surprise them and put an end to the love affair. Or so they thought. That's pretty, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, it was late when the plane arrived in Fort Worth, but Jack, Sandra, and the PI there waited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they followed Priscilla and Colin to the Green Oaks, where they checked in a little after midnight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few hours later while they slept, the door to Cullen and Priscilla's room burst open and they were shocked to find their respective spouses and a man that they didn't know standing before the bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a messy divorce was soon to follow. Now at first I was like, why the fuck would you take pictures? For the divorce. For the divorce. Cause I was like, that's kinda weird, but then I was like, oh, that's proof. Yeah, it's just like, here it is. It's not just irreconcilable differences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, shortly after the, uh, affairs were exposed, Jack Wilborn and Sandra Cullen both filed, uh, for desir- for divert- for diverse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she was put up by Cullen in a large apartment in a Fort Worth high-rise while Jack retained custody of the children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then he does some other shit that you're like, you're just a violent man. Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She also accused him of extensive infidelity and neglect and claimed that was justification for a large alimony and child support.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well as full custody of their two kids, which like go for it all, baby. Go for it all. Sandra for everything. Colin never challenged her for custody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or even seemed to care that he wasn't gonna see his children anymore. But the alibony- That's gross. The alibony was another matter entirely. Yeah, of course, fight for your money. Screw the kids, but- That's really gross. Fight for the money. That's really gross. He's nasty. That's like shameful. He's nasty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The divorces were granted that summer, but Cullen would spend the next 30 years fighting Sandra in court over the financial settlement. Jesus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, free of their previous relationships though, Priscilla and Cullen wasted no time formalizing their own relationship and they got married on August 29th, 1968.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. That date was doubly significant for Cullen as it was the day that his father, Kenneth Davis, died. Died on his wedding day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His company, Ken Davis Industries International, was earning roughly $300 million a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just wild to me, like, it just feels like it's, it's not real. No, and I think at some point, like, people that even have that money, they don't even- Can't conceive of it. Really conceive it, yeaah. Damn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But his one third ownership made Cullen obviously one of the wealthiest men in Texas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And unlike his conservative father and brothers, he didn't really see any good reason not to put that wealth to good use, or his view of good use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and Priscilla, Priscilla, excuse me, spent six million dollars to build their new home, Stonegate Mansion. Stonegate Mansion. Stonegate Mansion in Fort Worth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The place had five bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, an indoor pool, and this fucking sent me a two thousand square foot master bedroom. That's a house. That is literally bigger than my house. That is larger than my entire house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they also purchased a ton of artwork that was all scattered throughout the house and collectively valued at close to three million dollars back then. Holy shite. So like a billion now probably. Pretty soon after moving in, this is, this is a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Colin commissioned a six by eight foot oil painting of him and Priscilla to hang in the foyer. That is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my note on that, so my note on- You could decorate a box? I think if you own it outright. Oh shit, I didn't even know that. My note for the oil painting was humble man's, but my note for decorating that exclusively in pink, respect. I love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he lavished her in all the clothing that she could have ever dreamed of and expensive jewelry, including a necklace with the phrase, rich bitch. Shut the fuck up. Spelled out in diamonds. This isn't real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Dallas. Like now I know how that was after this. No, literally it was. I also would like to inform you that, uhm, Dave and I are getting matching necklaces that say Rich Bitch. We decided.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rich bitch. And like, you're like, imagine John gets you a gift and you open it up and like, the wrapping paper, you peel it back and you see, oh, like it's this long box, it probably has like this beautiful jewelry in it. You open it and it's a fucking necklace that spells out rich bitch in diamond. Can you imagine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazing. Yeah. Other purchases included a Learjet, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, eventually the rather lavish and decadent lifestyle that Cullen and Priscilla were living really would become common among Texas high society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like I was saying, serve as the basis for the soap opera Dallas. Makes sense. But!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the late 60s and early 70s, their displays of wealth at this time were still considered very gauche.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very gauche. Very gauche, I love that word. I do too. Among the old guard of Dallas-Fort Worth oil money. They were all...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turn in their fucking noses up to that, like what are you doing with your rich bitch necklace? Cause that's, cause you know what, they're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody was like, yeah, you're being real gauche. And most of the society women quietly resented having to welcome, you know, the one time wife of a used car salesman into the fold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they felt that Priscilla probably slept her way up to the top and, you know, made her way up that social ladder by doing so, which reminded me of Emily and the DAR ladies in Go More Girls. Yes, that's very much when they, in the movie, or in the reboot. Yup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit all over that girl. And then Emily's like, here's the thing. Emily's like, you're not going to get in. They're going to talk shit about you and then they're not going to let you in. That's what we do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not nice to be nasty. Worry about your own nose. But they weren't alone, these ladies. Eventually, Colin's brother Bill actually ended up filing a lawsuit against him, claiming that Colin had quote, run up personal debts of at least 16 million dollars back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And was using Ken Davis' like the company's assets as collateral for obtaining personal loans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does he need loans for? That's the other thing. I have no fucking idea. What the fuck is going on here? I think... I think he was spending...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean yea, clearly. Unfathomable amounts of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the suit was eventually settled and Bill actually bought his share out of the company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But by that point his relationship with Colin, his brother, was completely destroyed beyond repair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really never having been one for working, Priscilla instead filled her day spending money and becoming what somebody might say is a trophy wife, a symbol of Colin Davis' success. And she was happy to be one. Yea, as long as she was fine with it. At that point. At his request, she completed her physical transformation by getting a boob job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one friend told Greg Brown she was known in Fort Worth but not socially accepted because, and this was a quote, they all thought she was a whore. She's just like really mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it didn't really seem like Priscilla was interested in trying to fit in with those women who shunned her rather than, you know, try to integrate her, integrate herself into a group who never wanted her in the first place. Yeah, fuck that. She was like, fuck y'all. I will, I deal with that on the reg. Don't try to be friends with people who don't want to be friends with you, man. No, it's not worth it. She was like, I can just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The annual Colonial Invitational Golf Tournament. That was like her favorite event of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, while Colin liked having a beautiful wife on his arm, that didn't keep him from getting jealous whenever the press paid more attention to Priscilla than they did to him. And after a year or two of marriage,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first the abuse was verbal and emotional, much like what she went through with her previous husband.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it didn't take long for the abuse with Colin to become physical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One night at the apartment, Colin kept in Dallas, he and Pris- uh, Pris- Priscilla, excuse me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And without warning, he punched her in the face several times, breaking her nose. Oh fuck him. Broke her nose. Are you kidding me? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now sadly, Priscilla was not the only one who suffered Collins abuse. And I wanna give another trigger warning here for domestic abuse and also animal abuse. It's gonna be quick. Cause I can't even deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Priscilla's daughter Dee moved in with her mother shortly after Priscilla had divorced from Jack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was also a frequent target for her stepbrothers rage. Oh, this makes me so angry. One night after Dee had gone to bed, she was woken up in the night by Colin, who walked her down back down to the kitchen and berated her for forgetting to lock one of the doors before going to bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that infuriated him to the point that he hit her in the face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He grabbed the cat and slammed it on the kitchen floor and did it over and over again until the cat passed away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After being physically abusive to their mother, you have punched your new wife in the face several times. You have hit her daughter, not even your biological daughter, in the face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you have killed a kitten. Yup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cullen acknowledged this incident saying, I killed the cat, I admit it. It was a dumb thing to do, but Dee had smarted off to me. Oh get so fu-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, those instances of domestic and animal abuse unfortunately did not dissolve the relationship between Priscilla and Colin, and she still tried her best to keep up outward appearances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In lieu of acceptance into Texas High Society, they took vacations and extended stays in places like Vegas and Palm Springs. And they actually started socializing with stars, some being Kenny Rogers and his wife, Marco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Kenny and Margo both took a liking to Priscilla immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, Cullen was decidedly less well received. Margo Rogers recalled, her husband was kind of shifty looking. He had one of those looks where he looked out, uh, looked out one side of his eye. Like she had his number, she was like, something's off. Now despite her opinion on Cullen, Margo and Priscilla had become close in the early 70s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And later in an interview with Greg Brown, Margo commented on Cullen and Priscilla's marriage saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was kind of disconnected from him and everything around her. Not aloof, just observant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patricia stuck with her husband through the early 70s, continuing to keep up the appearances at social functions and events where she knew there was going to be press coverage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But by 1974, she just couldn't tolerate the abuse any longer. But the problem was, everything they owned belonged to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had no real identity or income that wasn't tied to her husband.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is like beautiful. Seeing her suffering, the Davis's long time maid, Cora.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took Priscilla aside and insisted to her that she take the fifteen hundred dollars that she herself had in savings. Stop it. That's all she had. Stop it. And she was like, I want you to take it and leave him for good. Oh my god. Because I see what he's doing to you and I see what's going on here. And like, you've gotta get out of here. What a selfless, kind human being. Like, holy shit. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now taking the savings of somebody who had so less than she did and so little anyways was less than ideal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Priscilla took Cora's $1,500 and filed for a divorce from Colin. Wow. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Jasper Baker, her first husband there, abandoned her after the birth of their daughter, Priscilla was left with nothing, and like I said earlier, had to move back to her mom's house in Dublin, Texas. When she left Jack Wilborn in 1968,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this time, Priscilla was determined to end the marriage and come out ahead. She wasn't gonna walk away from this with nothing. No. In her filing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She accused Colin of multiple forms of abuse and cruelty, which was directed at both her and her daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the stories she told the judge were very similar to the stories that Sandra Davis had told in her divorce filing. So there's a pattern, and that did not earn him any fans in the courtroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the stipend for living expenses was not a problem for him at all. But what was a problem was that the judge had frozen his assets pending a divorce settlement that they both agreed upon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in November of 1974, he petitioned the judge to permit him to sell off nearly 45,000 shares of stock out of his Western Drill Company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he quotes, he cited his reasons, uh, a national credit crunch and short-term loans to various banks in the total of $14 million. Wow. So he was like, I have all this tied up and like, I can't, like, I need you to let me get some of it. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Judge Eadson refused the request and instead increased his monthly payments to Priscilla from $2,500 to $3,000. He was like, you're not impressing me with the sob stories here. I know that you have access to different money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so he increased the amount, but the couple was back before Judge Eatson the next month where Cullen was ordered to pay Priscilla an additional


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $18,500 quote, advance on community property for trial expenses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The court appearance is dragged on for the next two years with Priscilla or Cullen asking for postponements for one reason or another divorces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Incredibly messy, and I can't imagine with this amount of money, how much messier it would be. And in the meantime, Priscilla started dating a former Texas Christian University basketball star, turned restaurant owner Stan Farr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In February 1976, Pharr moved into the mansion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for the first time in a long time in Priscilla's life, it felt like things were getting back to normal for her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her daughter Dee was almost 18 years old now. She was living still at home. And Andrea, her other younger daughter, was coming to visit regularly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even the divorce settlement actually seemed to be going in the right direction. On August 2nd, Priscilla and Colin appeared again before the judge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this time, Colin's monthly payments were increased to $5,000 per month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was ordered to pay Priscilla an additional $25,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, after what felt like a victory in the courtroom that day, Priscilla and Stan went out to dinner at the old Swiss house with friends Bev Bass and Gus Bubba Gavril to celebrate because they were like, why not? It was a little after midnight when they returned home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stan got out of the car to open the large iron gates and they made their way up the driveway that led to the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Priscilla looked through the window and she noticed that the lights on the security panel indicated that the front door had been opened since they left hours earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh. She figured maybe it was Andrea who was coming to stay with them for the evening or even maybe her daughter Dee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she, and so she shrugged it off and just made their way into the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once inside, Stan climbed the stairs to head to the master bedroom, and Priscilla just went to go into the kitchen to turn the lights off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was where she noticed what looked like a bloody handprint on the basement door. Oh shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Priscilla took a few steps toward the basement, but between the security panel and the pan print on the door,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a few seconds with no reply, she decided to go to the bedroom to find her boyfriend. But as she made her way toward the stairs,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was startled by a man dressed in all black


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, urges from the laundry room says hi and shoots you in the stomach. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So alerted by the sound of the gun and Priscilla's scream, Stan rushed downstairs and found the door leading into the kitchen was locked so he couldn't get in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sensing that it might be her only opportunity to flee though, Priscilla forced herself to stand up after being shot in the fucking stomach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And managed to actually get out of the house through the sliding glass door that led out to a courtyard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But luckily there was a split second where he was startled by a sound and let go of Priscilla's arm which let her fall to the ground. And when he went to investigate the noise, she scrambled to hide into the bushes nearby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then she heard voices coming from the driveway and several more shots rang out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after making it past the gate, she ran to the nearest house and started ringing the doorbell over and over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, that just gave me full chills. I- me too. Holy shit. Wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the neighbors called an ambulance and emergency services did arrive a short time later. Priscilla was taken to the hospital to be treated for the gunshot wound to her stomach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who had pulled up that to the house just as she slipped out into the courtyard. Oh my God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gavril had confronted the intruder who shot him several times before fleeing the scene. He was in critical condition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he would survive the attack ultimately but he would be paralyzed for the rest of his life. Are you kidding?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy shit, this is like devastating. Devastating. So despite having been shot in the stomach, Priscilla was still conscious and able to speak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At 4.30am, Fort Worth police surrounded the home of Karen Master, a quote unquote friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five in Karen's house and two in styrofoam, uh, two in a styrofoam chest in the trunk of Colin's car. So he had seven fucking guns just lying about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't think of that. That's like really scary. Your life is on the line to a certain extent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now back at the mansion, police started combing through the crime scene, which one ambulance driver referred to as


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. That's horrifying. That tells you everything you need to know. Truly horrifying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were two large pools of blood on the floor leading from the kitchen to the foyer. One where Priscilla was shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A large trail of blood led from the hallway to the kitchen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where Stan's body had been dragged and dropped by the killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And from the kitchen, investigators made their way to the basement where they found the body of Andrea Wilborn in a small utility room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crime scene technicians noted that she hadn't suffered any physical trauma aside from a bullet that had entered her upper chest and exited out her lower back. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later it would be determined that Andrea had been shot in the chest and just left to die in the basement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than the obvious carnage, there's no other word for it. Detectives concluded that nothing in the house had been stolen or otherwise disturbed. I mean, that tells you. Cause it's his fucking house. Yeah. If anyone's walking into that house and doing shit, they're stealing shit. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that's what happened, what she saw happened. What she saw. According to Bev, she planned to stay at the house that evening, and she and Gavril arrived shortly after Priscilla and Stan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Captain JW Tindall, the young lady recognized this person as Davis and called out his name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she recognized him and called him by name. And that's before she's even spoken to Priscilla, who at that point had already told ambulance drivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now uh, Bass, she said she ran as soon as the shooting started and was briefly pursued by the attacker, but he eventually fled as she made her way to a nearby convenience store where a security guard called police. Holy shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that both of them are like, yeah, it was Cullen, we know him. I mean, they're not just pulling that out of their ass. No, of course they're not. And I don't know if everybody's been listening, but he's proven himself to be a very violent and, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scary human being. Absolutely. And now a human being who is losing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of money. And his home, you know, technically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now despite having been arrested on charges of murder and attempted murder, on August 4th, Cullen Davis was released on an $80,000 bond, which of course he had no trouble paying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his statement to a shocked group of reporters, Justice of the Peace, WW Matthews, defended the bond saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like yeah, how comforting that he probably won't break into anybody's house and open fire on five people. That has to be the stupidest shit I have ever heard. Probably. Flow out of a person's fucking face. Like he was just drunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well he probably won't do it again. People in this case need to get so fucked. Why open your mouth and say words if those are going to be them? Well, you know, he got drunk, he gets mad. He gets mad, he punches his wife, he gets mad, he slaps his stepdaughter, he gets mad, he beats a kitten on the floor until it dies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A week later, while still recovering at Harris Hospital, Priscilla gave her formal statement to the Assistant District Attorney, Joe Shannon Jr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's pretty like discernible. Like you would be able to point that face out. He doesn't just have like any old, you know, oil tycoon face. Like he looks, I would be able to point him out. Hey, he looks like Colin Davis. Wild. And it's like, you just put on a wig.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now while the district attorney's office was vague about why they had amended the charges, the court documents allege that Cullen had committed burglary when he entered the home without permission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that he had explicitly violated Judge Eatson's order, prohibiting him from being at the home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the district attorney indicated their intention to seek the death penalty in those days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pending a grand jury hearing, which was scheduled for late winter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On February 15th, 1977, a grand jury returned two indictments for capital murder for the deaths of Stan Farr and Andrea Wil- uh, Andrea Wilborn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And two indictments for the attempted murder of Priscilla Davis and Gus Gavril.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Setting Colin's bond at $150,000 for the attempted murder counts and denying bond on the actual murder counts. Okay, I was like, can we deny bond for a minute? You would think. Is that cool?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now in the weeks that followed, the prosecution and defense started interviewing prospective jurors for the trial, but immediately realized due to the press coverage of the case and the notoriety of those involved, jury selection was going to be more than an uphill battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In one case, a man who regularly service the business machines in several of Colin's offices told the DA, I've kept up with the case real close and I do not feel the man is guilty in any way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like many of the potential jurors interviewed, this man was disqualified for having formed a pre-trial opinion of Colin Davis, but he was not alone. Many people had their opinions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So on April 14th, after nearly two months of an arduous jury selection process, the judge, uh, Tom Cave had to declare a mistrial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After learning that one of the jurors, I believe her name was Elizabeth Panky, had discussed the case with a co-worker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She'd been given permission to leave the state to attend a funeral in early April.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at that time, she also discussed the case with friends on at least three occasions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, so he was, you know, obviously extremely reluctant to do so, but he saw no alternative and dismissed all the jurors. They just fucked this case right up. Damn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To imagine that somebody so prominent and wealthy could commit murder, much less the murder of a child. I'm sorry, have you ever read?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a weird way, this case kind of reminds me of the O.J. Simpson case. Yeah, a little bit. It's got certain parallels, I feel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, there were those people who were like, no, I just can't imagine that a rich man would kill someone. That's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there were also people who were just worried about their own wallets being affected by the outcome of the trial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who can't pay his debts. That seems right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And while his being refused bond had already hurt their chances of being paid, his being found guilty would mean that they were unlikely to ever get their money back, and that was their main concern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Money over the life of a 12 year old. And he would have killed everyone in that house if he was able to before he got disturbed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's a great way to go about this? We should just make sure that she looks like a dumb bitch. Smear campaign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, sometimes it's like, you look at these things and you're like, the justice system has so much fucking work to do. Oh, it's so flawed. And especially- Cause shit like this is like, really- I think especially when it comes to wealthy people in the justice system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now nothing came of their efforts in court really of, you know, trying to get the witness testimony and all that. But they were very public about these attempts and that was enough to plant seeds in the, excuse me, seeds of doubt in the minds of the public. Of course, because nobody ever wants to look actually at like facts. It's just whatever sounds the most salacious. Exactly. And there were stories that not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While they weren't exactly slanderous, they didn't paint Priscilla in a good light. They painted her in a negative light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her own investigators had alleged that there was a contract on her life, quote,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when she did go out, usually late at night and always with close friends, Priscilla wore a silver-plated 32 strapped to a custom-made holster on her right boot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like clearly she was afraid of this man. She's going out with a fucking holster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing. Like my god. And before the- Get it together. This poor woman, before the trial began Priscilla received a call from the wife of a quote unquote prominent industrialist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And call a woman who all of those things happen to, because it's going to affect your husband's business dealings. A mother whose 12 year old daughter was murdered. But your business dealings are the most important here. Let him off the hook. Oh my.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goodness. So, uh, Priscilla was perplexed, assuming that the woman was talking about the divorce settlement. And of course, you know, it didn't occur to her that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the fuck. Now finally the caller- What an empty soul. Oh yea, she's gonna double down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She got to the point and said Priscilla, I think the best thing for you would be to move out of town and change your name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, bitch. Like, that's a cunt right there. You're a cunt. The best thing for- ooooh. The best thing for you would be to move- if I got that fucking phone call after all of that, ooooh, honey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Priscilla later commented on that call saying, I was dumbstruck. All I could think to say was we all have to answer to God. Damn. I would say much worse. I can't believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After everything she had gone through, this is what she's dealing with. Are these pieces of shit? Painous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But by summer the trial was officially moved to Amarillo, Texas. I think so, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And pre-trial hearings began quietly in June. Once again, the prosecution and defense found themselves in a struggle though to find mutually agreeable jurors. The biggest issue was still the significant coverage that the trial had received.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they kind of assumed this like, kind familiarity with him and quote unquote insisted upon calling him racehorse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's happening? Like, this is a really gross situation. Like, all around. Hey, Racehorse! How's the murder trial going? This really tests your faith in humanity. It really does. I have none. All of this. After nearly two more months, a jury had finally been selected. Apparently less, uh, prospective jury members called this man Racehorse. And


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his opening statement to the jury, District Attorney Tim Curry, with a shot. Tim Curry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let out the prosecution's simple case. He said Colin Davis learned of a setback in his divorce proceedings, then went that night to the mansion he and his estranged wife Priscilla once shared with the intent to kill her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stopped short of citing a clear motive but noted the fact that the murders were committed literal hours after a divorce hearing where the amount of alimony was raised and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that Colin and Priscilla's relationship had just deteriorated to the point of pure vitriol. Pure vitriol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That happened. That's the most solid motive ever. Truly. And again, two people recognized him who had no time to get any kind of story straight but told the exact same story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Priscilla was among the first witnesses to take the stand and she spent nearly six hours answering Curry's questions and giving her detailed account of the attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She really didn't say anything that she hadn't already stated in her statement given to the police and to the district attorney's office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that didn't stop the defense from repeatedly objecting to her testimony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Claiming among other things that she quote, ignored the rules of the court and was referring to hearsay evidence. Shut up. This is all in her statement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his cross-examination, Haynes kept Priscilla on the stand for days. Several days. He asked questions about her use of percadam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which she had been prescribed for chronic pain from an ankle injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Continued to get prescribed after she got, you know, shot in the stomach. Yeah. Cause you know that. He asked about her sexual history and relationships with other men. The fuck does that have to do with anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even implied that she and quote Beverly Bass had concocted their story to keep the real killer from coming after them and to help Priscilla get Cullen's millions in the divorce. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wild. Wow, so we're just like making up a story about who killed my child. Yep. Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A colleague of Cullen's told a reporter, she's trash, plain trash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her daughter was killed. Jealousy. Who cares if she was trash or not? Jealousy. And who are you to claim who's trash and who isn't? Give me a line up, telling you, jealousy. Jealousy. Others simply relied on the rumor mill for information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was talk of quote orgies and two-way mirrors and movie cameras hidden in the ceiling above the master bedroom's double queen-sized bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some suggested the basement was full of S&M accessories, when in fact it was just full of storage. And also?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, actually nothing even happened in the bedroom upstairs, so why are we even talking about it? No, that's ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But unfortunately Priscilla did somewhat play into the kind of like salacious rumors on occasion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Granting interviews with the press where she kind of went out of her way to coquettishly avoid answering direct questions about her sex life and the rumors surrounding it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thing though, it's like she, yeaah, she probably like leaned in a little bit, but it's also like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but like we're not gonna concentrate on the fact that Cullen was a fucking animal in that house and was like nightmarish inducing. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should all be ashamed of yourselves. They absolutely should be, but something tells me that they were not. No, of course not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His strategy was made clear. The intruder had entered the house to kill Stan, not Priscilla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told the jury with absolutely no fucking basis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Farr was a target of those assailants because of his business connections with those other people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Referring to Priscilla, Andrea, and Gavril as quote, accidental victims.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And didn't steal anything while they were there? No, no, of course not. To collect their payment? Absolutely not. No? And when Priscilla ran outside...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going in a six million dollar mansion with three million dollars worth of art. Take the fucking painting. Just that off the base. Boom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing. That makes sense. Yeah. Yep. Collect payment. Yeah, absolutely. This makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wild. The defense had zero, zero evidence of Stan being a drug user or of owing anyone money with drugs. That's the other thing. It's like, yeah, let's definitely just slander this dead man who was murdered that night. Trying to save his, like, the people he cared about. Literally zero evidence, but Haynes still called several witnesses who claimed to have seen Stan associating with drug dealers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in his cross-examination of Priscilla, all Haynes needed to do was question Stan's moral character and imply drug use and the jury's imaginations. Let that do the rest. That prejudices the jury. I don't understand how that's allowed. I don't either. I don't at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other witnesses for the defense included Karen Masters, who, that's where Cullen was found. The friend. Yea, the quote unquote friend. They were more than friends. Clearly. She claimed that Cullen was in bed next to her at the time of the killing. Friends. Totally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, the other witness for the defense was the owner of a small Fort Worth nursery who claimed that he had sneaked onto the property on the night of the murders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to the nursery owner, he had gone to the house to reclaim some plants that hadn't been paid for. I'm sorry. In the night? What? Yep, totally. They send you in the night to go repo plants? No, he did. He was repoing his own plants. Hell yeah, just go repo some plants. I've never heard of repoing plants. This makes absolute sense. But he said he saw the killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it wasn't Colin Davis. Oh, let's believe this guy. I believe him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in never ever came up in subsequent police interviews. Yea, she just forgot. It happened that at the trial she remembered that. Yea, now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Multiple interviews with the police. Now that I think about it, he was asleep in bed next to me. Yea, right next to me. Best friends. And similarly, the claims from the nursery owner would also have gone a long way towards clearing Colin's name, but uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ruffner had made the news several months earlier after an arrest for cocaine in weapons possession.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it could have been your other boyfriend too, you know, who's dealing with cocaine charges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that we are just focusing on making Priscilla look like a bad person here and it's like, how, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But after nearly four months of witness testimony, final arguments began on November 16th, 1977 in his 95 minute closing statement. Damn. Which like, go off, King.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Assistant District Attorney Tali Wilson summarized their belief that after being, uh, becoming enraged,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But enraged by yet another divorce court ruling in Priscilla's favor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gavril and Bev Bass had all positively identified Cullen as the shooter. I love that that just means nothing. No. To these people. Because they're- Like it's just meaning nothing. They don't care. They went into this all with preconceived notions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for Colin Supposed Alibi, Wilson pointed out that Karen Masters, excuse me, Masters,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She asked him on four different occasions when he got in after she found out about the murder. So I think we have to conclude that Karen Master knows herself that Thomas Cullen Davis was not at her house at the time of those murders, at the time those murders were committed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, in his nearly three hour closing statement,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Haines again went after Priscilla's character, telling the jury Priscilla Davis is the Machiavellian influence behind this whole thing. Right. What? Right. According to the, uh, to the defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Priscilla had conspired with Gavril and Bass to frame Cullen for the murder in order to access his vast fortune. Oh, so he was just fine being paralyzed for life. And again, I don't understand saying that she did this to access his vast fortune.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three hours before this happened, she had access to it. Why the fuck would she have gone and made this all messy when she was getting exactly what she wanted and too deserved?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miss Bass is one of a series of young girls in Mrs. Davis' history who has been corrupted by the drugs and sex at the mansion since Davis moved out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The defense had little more than slanderous rumors and innuendo that at best suggested the victims were maybe people of poor moral character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After deliberating for two days, the jury returned with an acquittal on all charges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, what? The wildest thing is uhm- They acquitted this motherfucker? No, no, no. The wildest thing is that uhm, I regret to inform you, it gets worse. It gets worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am without. Flabbergasted. Thought. Flabbergasted. When I got. My brain just erased itself. No, when I got. To that point, I was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. I was like, wait, does acquitted not mean what I thought? I... I was worried that something...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they were later interviewed regarding the verdict, jury members gave a variety of flimsy reasons for the acquittal because they didn't have one stand up reason. One juror told reporters,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What unanswered question did you have? Yeah, can you, is the one unanswered question in the room with us right now? Can you point at it? Can you point to it? Can you identify it? Because I, what are you talking about? The public on the other hand. What's the unanswered question? What is it? The public on the other hand did not seem surprised by the verdict.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One resident told reporters, no, it didn't surprise me. Money does so many different things. I mean, that's the, that is truth. It shouldn't surprise me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But holy shit. Another man who lived near the crime scene echoed the sentiment saying, oh there's no doubt that his wealth helped him get off, and the length of the trial helped him because those jurors were getting tired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few days later at a victory party thrown by Colin Davis. A victory party. An attendee of the party put it more succinctly. Rich men don't kill their wives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanna tell you one more time, guys, you're not fucking ready for this. What's happening? Nine months after his acquittal, Colin was caught on tape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soliciting a murder from an FBI agent that he believed was a hitman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna say that for you one more time. Nine months after this guy got acquitted for murdering a 12 year old, somebody's boyfriend, paralyzing another man and attempting to kill his, uh, current wife who he was getting divorced from, Colin was caught on tape soliciting a murder from an FBI agent he believed was a hitman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the tape, Cullen can be heard saying, do the judge and then his wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The judge and then his wife, he was talking about the divorce judge and his wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit! I'm not done. In order to make the case stronger, the agents actually faked photographs supposedly showing Judge Eatson covered in blood and stuffed into the trunk of a car. Oh my god, I love how hard they worked. Enjoy that. Uh, when the agent showed Cullen the photos, he acknowledged that they had done as he had asked. And when the agent asked if Bev Bass was next, he said, alright. Like, yup, she's next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a trial followed his arrest and Cullen was once again represented by fucking Racehorse Hines on the witness stand. He can't get away from this. I mean, he's on camera. Yeah, he is. He sure is. I'm so, I'm very angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the witness stand, Cullen claimed that in one of their unrecorded conversations, the informant claimed that he had actually been hired by Priscilla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sheepishly admitted that he had been tricked by yet another of his ex-wife's schemes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given the amount of damning evidence against him, the story was fucking preposterous and implausible. I am without words. Get ready. Cause in November of 1979, that jury returned a verdict of not guilty and Colin was yet again acquitted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He need that this FBI agent who he thought was a fucking hitman needed to kill his divorce judge and the divorce judge's wife. Which shows you what a fucking animal this man is. And indicated that Bev Bass was the next target. Who had pointed at him as the killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How are this many people stupid? They're not stupid. How are this many people evil? Correct. That's more like it. They're not stupid. How are this many people gathered together onto two juries that fucked up? Money. The root of all fucking evil in this case. Holy shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Following the second acquittal, Colin claimed that he and Karen had become born-again Christians. Literally fuck off. They were turning their lives over to God. You're both disgusting. And in the spring of 1980, he held a ceremony on the front lawn of the mansion, which he had ended up reclaiming from Priscilla in the divorce settlement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and a local evangelical reverend destroyed more than a million dollars worth of golden jewelry, claiming they honored what he called false gods. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Decades later, in an interview with Skip Hollinsworth, Colin claimed, all I care about is living for Jesus and doing what the Bible says to do. Ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Karen Davis and Colin got married in the spring of 1979 and they lived together until she unfortunately passed away from breast cancer in 2016. Uhm, he continued to live in Fort Worth and is retired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Priscilla, the future held much less promise than her ex-husband. After the trial, she and Cullen finally did reach a settlement in their divorce where she retained a large alimony payment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But unfortunately, she continued to live as she had when she was still married to the wealthiest man in Texas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Picking up the check for everyone whenever they went out and continuing to buy big ticket items.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wild slide down the economic and social ladder. Friends say that Priscilla lived a contended life in her later years, and her only regret was that her ex-husband was never brought to justice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And on February 19th, 2001, unfortunately she also died from breast cancer at the age of 59 years old. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Asking for two people to be murdered and then acknowledging that they had done the job correctly and then agreeing to another person being murdered. Say what you want about Racehorse, but he's a fucking defense attorney. Holy shit. Like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My mind. Wow. Is blown. I literally don't even know how to comprehend this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wild. I don't know how to comprehend it. Absolutely wild. Truly one of the craziest stories I think I've ever read. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Stan Farr's family, and for Andrea Wilborn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just shocked. I'm shocked. Shocked. I don't even have anything to say. Yup. That's that. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's actually Listener Tales, uhm, which is still under the morbid branch. And it's brought to you by you, for you, from you, and all about you!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the 90s. I also just polisantoed in here and it smells so good. It does. I love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a place of, just be cool. Don't be all like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uncool. That's just our vibe now. It's also the Countess' vibe. And if you don't get that, then I don't even know what you've been doing for the last six years. The Countess. The Countess. We're going to see her. I can't wait. But you know what? What? Let's talk some listener tales.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi my fellow weirdos, I did all the good stuff in my double-spaced 14-point puttifa, so just read that. It's a crazy listener tale for sure. I also included the newspaper article from the story in a photo of me and my quote-unquote mom friends who just can't get enough of y'all. Also a photo of my husband and I and the kiddos and the pups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really want you to understand my vibe, I suppose. Happy reading. I love your vibe. I love your vibe. Your Fourth of July pic is great. What I'm assuming is Halloween is absolutely iconic. Oh my god, you two are amazing. The kids are so cute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that. That does happen. I love that for your puppy, I love that for us. I wanna know your puppy's name, but the name tag is blurry, but the way that they're standing is iconic. Yea, it's pretty amazing. And honestly, I'm never gonna get past this Halloween costume. Iconique.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love you guys in all capacities and with my, within my group of mom friends drinking wine and saying, oh shit, have you listened to the new episode of morbid yet? Is pretty much the highlight of our suburban lives. That's so cool. I love that. You can use my name and all names associated within this tale because it happened a million years ago in 1993. I love 1900. I love it. When I was eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, by the way, while we were reading that last one, because that was 1999, that was 25 years ago. Yeah, I hate that. Yeah, I googled it because I can't do mental math.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a star in the sky. Maybe. Pataps. Pataps. Pataps and perhaps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I was going to say potentially. You were. And perhaps I think they.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got me. I liked it. Thank you. Alright, I also included the newspaper article from when this happened. It is, it is on the front page. In my small town, this was big news. Also included are a few photos, a double-spaced puttifa, and the article, since it serves as proof that this batshit story I'm about to tell you actually happened, and it wasn't just a figment of my overactive eight-year-old imagination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's iconic. Bit of a backstory, I won't apologize for the length of this all because I know you will not accept it anyway, so let's go. No, we will not. No, we won't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I grew up in Boulder Creek, California, not Colorado, like everybody usually assumes. I would have. I said creek. There is a creek attached to it, not just Boulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I grew up a couple miles away from Big Basin State Park, which is home to some of the oldest redwood trees on earth. It's beyond beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My family homestead consisted of 11.5 acres of forest on a hill with two houses on the property.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which my family owned one, and my parents' best friends owned the other. Oh, I love this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was beautiful and incredibly private. We technically had neighbors but they were literally few and far between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a long, uh, hoof up and down, up or down the mountain to go to a neighbor's house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As serene as all of this was, it's also a wonderful area to be getting away with some shit. Eek. And there were a handful of drug shacks and meth labs up in our mountains. Sometimes we would play the game Firework or Meth Lab Explosion. Oh, that old game. I know, I played that too. No, I actually haven't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our house in the forest was an A frame house. I love those. With a gable pitched roof that had all glass windows in the front that surrounded our front door and 20 foot ceilings. Danny! You're speaking my language.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So hold on to your butts now, guys. I'm holding. In the wee hours of the night on Thursday, December 16th, 1993, my little eight-year-old self lay asleep on the couch in the living room. First mistake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking out into the forest with all the windows. I had been homesick with the flu all week, so the couch was where I had been posted up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of a sudden I was woken up to a tap tap tap on the glass and looking at me through the windows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Standing on the super 70s hippie tile of our foyer is this man, and I am paralyzed. Oh my god no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He turns to me and outstretched his arms and says, Don't be afraid, child. I am Jesus. You must follow me. I promise you he's not. No, he's definitely not. I know this. That's so scary. I yelled for my dad as loud as I could, which was only like a quivering whisper. My dad Danny and my mom Elaine hear me and came running down the stairs with our dalmatian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be cool. And you're doing that. You are cool. My sister now emerges from her room. She was 21 but was still living at home at the time. She's wrapped up in a sheet cause she too sleeps naked and just screams GET THE FUCK OUT!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad heard him ranting and raving all the way up the hill as he stood outside at 2am with no pants on, proudly defending his family. I truly love my hippie dad and always will. I always will as well. So now what? We caught the cops in wait. The nearest police station is something like 10 miles away. It's a long wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While we're waiting for the cops, Jesus decides to take himself on a little adventure to our neighbor's house over the ridge. It's probably about a 10 minute walk for any sane person, but I don't really know how long it took for Jesus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, the police arrive at our home. They're taking our statements when they get the call about my neighbor's house and realize how close it is. They call for backup and say they'll be back to finish our statement as soon as they check out what's going on across the ridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The officer drives over to their place. He arrived so quickly that my neighbors thought it was still Jesus, and they fired their gun. Oh my god, in the air, in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This shit was bananas. I remember hearing the gunshots and thinking, oh my god, they killed the cops. That wasn't the case. But I have full blown anxiety now as an adult, and this may just be the night, the night the seeds of my anxiety were planted. You know what, I'm gonna go with yes. Yes it was. Meanwhile, where's Jesus?

[Assistant] He's taking the nice five mile drive down to Boulder Creek. This is amazing to me because this guy was high as fuck.

[Assistant] So high his pupils were the size of nickels. That's why his eyes were the blackest you've seen to date. Yeah, that was his pupils. The drive from my house to Boulder Creek is a narrow two-lane windy road and I'm shocked that he didn't end up driving into anything or anyone.

[Assistant] When he did make it to Boulder Creek, he stopped the car in the middle of the two lanes down, uh,

[Assistant] Uh, into a restaurant at the time called the Old Basham's House that had tons of antiques and decorations on the wall.

[Assistant] That was wild. I don't know what happened there. Back into my neighbors. I don't know what kind of soul that was. Honda CRX gets into position and drives it through the glass front of Joe's bar. The only thing that stopped him from going all the way through the back was the pool table.

[Assistant] He says he's a millionaire and can pay for the damage. Right. So Virgil, being the sweetest bartender ever, he was also a family friend who has since passed. R.I.P. Virgil. R.I.P. He poured him a beer and he let him sit and drink it. Honestly, the safest thing to do in that situation. Good for Virgil.

[Assistant] So now all the police backup has arrived at my house and the neighbors house when all their radios go off all at once about the new incident in downtown Boulder Creek. The whole side of our mountain was lit up in red and blue lights.

[Assistant] As all but one officer left to go to this new incident. As the last officer is talking to my father on the front porch, my mom's sister and I are all huddled on the couch with the most what the actual fuck looks on our faces I've ever seen.

[Assistant] My dad comes in after what seems like forever. He has pants on now. Oh, okay. That's what made me laugh. And he says he has to go with this officer to possibly identify the person that they have in custody in downtown Boulder Creek.
