You're listening to the Mind over Murder
podcast. My name is Bill Thomas.

2
00:00:07,719 --> 00:00:12,039
I'm a writer, consulting, producer, and now podcaster. I am now

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,000
trying to use my experience as the
brother of a murder victim to help other

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,239
victims of violent crime. I'm working
on a book on the unsolved Colonial Parkway

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,719
murders and I'm the co administrator of
the Colonial Parkway Murders Facebook group together with

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,079
Kristin Dilley. My name is Kristin
Dilley. I'm a writer, a researcher,

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,799
a teacher, and a victim's advocate, as well as the social media

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,880
manager and co administrator for the Colonial
Parkway Murders Facebook page with my partner in

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:49,920
crime, Bill Thomas. Welcome to
Mind of a Murder. I'm Kristin Dilley

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,560
and I'm Bill Thomas, and we're
joined today by former FBI profiler Jim FitzGeralds

11
00:00:56,679 --> 00:01:02,240
fitz to his friends and doctor Raymond
are joining us to talk about their new

12
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,560
podcast, Cold Red Fits and Ray
Thank you for joining us. Person.

13
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,280
I glad to be back and thank
you for having us on. Thanks Kristen,

14
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:14,159
and you too, Bill. Of
course. Oh of course, though

15
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:18,000
we don't want to forget about you. And as I recalled, just before

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,319
we started, Ray was bucking to
be our favorite profiler and pushing fits out

17
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,719
of the lead spot for our favorite
FBI profiler. How did I do?

18
00:01:29,239 --> 00:01:34,480
You're doing great so far? Yeah? Yeah, self praise is better than

19
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:36,359
none, Ray, that's what my
dad, Dad, you should tell me.

20
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,120
Keep thinking you're the best. I'm
very fragile. Take it easy on

21
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:45,480
me. I can see that about
you, all right, spoken like long

22
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:49,000
time partners. I would say,
it's pretty clear that the two of you

23
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:52,640
know each other. But go ahead
and formalize it for our audience. When

24
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,359
did you start working together? And
would you call this a friendship or a

25
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,040
partnership or what would you call this? Ray wanted me start because you mentioned

26
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,799
it the other night on our show. When I was in Philly as an

27
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:06,840
agent, I was rolling down the
street in my vehicle and I saw this

28
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:08,280
guy who was homeless, and I'm
just all right, all right, I'm

29
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,960
just kidding. I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding. First time I ever

30
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:16,840
met Fitz, I was sitting on
a bank rappy squad in Philadelphia and a

31
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,639
lead came in from New York.
I the lead there was a couple of

32
00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:24,159
additional questions I had about the lead, and I gave a call up to

33
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:29,199
the agent of New York, James
Fitzgerald, and we started talking, and

34
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,840
then fitz wind up going down in
the unit, and then we talked and

35
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:38,080
formed a friendship and it's lasted ever
since, so it's more than thirty years.

36
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,680
He's like family to me. He's
were very close and I do appreciate

37
00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:44,919
that. Ray. And yeah,
and then you were an nc ABC coordinator,

38
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,879
National Center for the Analysis, a
violent Crime coordinator, which means he

39
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,400
had special training and behavior profiling,
but he was in the field. And

40
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,120
back then, in the early days
of the profiling Unit, it go went

41
00:02:58,199 --> 00:03:00,319
by different names. Back then,
I won't bore your listeners and viewers all

42
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,759
that stuff, but we'll just call
it the profiling unit. The profilers are

43
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:07,520
basically assigned geographically, and I figured, if I'm from Philadelphia, let me

44
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,840
just keep the home stay. And
I basically had New England down I think

45
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,520
through Jersey and Delaware, so any
case that happened in that region which would

46
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,080
need help from a profiler, behaviorists
whatever. Of course, now I'm doing

47
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,000
more forensic linguistic work. After the
unibomb case anywhere in Philly, and that's

48
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,400
a big division up to State College
and parts of South Jersey. Ray'd be

49
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,680
the one that would give me a
call. And we worked a number of

50
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:35,719
cases early on, and we solved
between Arthur Beaumar serial killer. Ray.

51
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,719
We helped solve that and the Center
City rapist. We certainly played a role

52
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:42,719
in that being saved. So we
had some I was gonna say good luck,

53
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:45,520
but we had some good detectives working
with us, and we did our

54
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,000
best to fill in the behavioral missing
pieces and both those cases came together,

55
00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:52,719
and of course a bunch of other
ones since then. And yes, so

56
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:57,120
professionally we've been together for a while
and personally the same time too, And

57
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,680
we'll save some of those stories for
maybe you're nice time podcast guys after dark?

58
00:04:03,199 --> 00:04:10,120
Yes, after dark, Oh Bell, that sounds like a pretty great

59
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,439
idea, A mind of her murder
after Dark? I like it. That

60
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,160
sounds great, Hey, great ideas. I think we're going to steal that

61
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:20,279
if you don't mind go for it. And then, but your podcast is

62
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:26,319
Cold Red, and so how far
along are you with Cold Red? I'd

63
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:30,279
say we're about seven or eight episodes
at this point. The first few we

64
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,759
just done just Ray and I,
which is not a bad combination. And

65
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,439
we had our first guest the other
night. Are exactly have an executive producer

66
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:41,839
the sound producer, and you want
to talk about missing and child abductions,

67
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,319
things like that, and Ray and
I both worked those cases. We both

68
00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:49,800
can talk the talk, but we
both collectively figured let's let's bring someone in

69
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,959
who really knows what they're talking about. So Ray, why don't you tell

70
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,639
him about our first guest ever?
And I think he really hit a home

71
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,279
run. That was a good friend
of mine, and Jim also knows him.

72
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:02,959
Name was Kevin McShane and he was
part of the CART team. So

73
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,120
when you say KART, what does
that mean? What does that acrona mean?

74
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:14,759
It's the Child Abduction Response Deployment Team, So it's cr DT. But

75
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,920
you hear KRT, think CRT,
And what happens is he was a member,

76
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:23,800
one of the original members of that
team that kind of formed in the

77
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,000
early two thousands, and he would
be deployed predominantly. He was a member

78
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:33,000
of a regional team that handled the
northeast from Maine down to Virginia. But

79
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,720
there's times when agents are away,
or they're involved in case works where he

80
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:42,360
would be deployed all over the United
States. Usually they're on scene within the

81
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:46,279
first if there's locally, usually there's
an agent within the first few hours,

82
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,000
because time is your enemy in these
cases, especially when you have a missing

83
00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:55,639
child. He brought a lot of
things in the table for us. He

84
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:00,040
explained things very well. I think
our listeners were great. They were very

85
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:04,639
fortunate to have someone like that to
be able to discuss that. Whose idea

86
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,079
was it for you guys to team
up and have this pod? This is

87
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:13,120
clearly a match made in heaven between
the two of you, considering all the

88
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,399
experience that you have in your friendship. Who stepped forward first and said,

89
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:19,920
hey, let's have a pod.
I'm going to start off ray a few

90
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,399
years ago, and we haven't talked
about this in a while, but I

91
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:28,920
think you know where I'm going.
I'm good friends with a very popular sports

92
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,439
radio sports show host in Philadelphia named
Angelo Cataldi. He actually just retired a

93
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:36,079
few years ago. He wanted to
see the Eagles go to the Super Bowl

94
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,120
one more time. They didn't win, of course, but so he retired.

95
00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:43,800
But a few years before that we
got friendly and he read my books.

96
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,680
He was very encouraging. I actually
thank him in my first book,

97
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,480
A Journey to the Center of the
Mind, my memoir series. And we

98
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:53,680
started talking. I said, Angelo, I think there's room out there for

99
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,720
a radio show where we talk true
crime. And I said, you work

100
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:00,279
for a station, You've got some
pull there. What do you think I

101
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:01,560
had this, buddy, ray Car, I think the two of us could

102
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,040
really we could get out there and
we could start off right away. Present

103
00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:09,519
cases, pass cases, anything like
that. These are Fitze always called me,

104
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,360
Fitzy, that's a great idea.
Let me talk to my people.

105
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,279
And Ray I think I called you, and I think within two weeks or

106
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:19,360
so, we had an interview in
a radio station twelve ten in Philadelphia,

107
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:24,639
in downtown Philly. We met there
one afternoon around one or two o'clock and

108
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,560
we sat down with this I don't
know, probably thirty five forty year old

109
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:31,879
producer, and quite frankly, we
started arguing. We started arguing from the

110
00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:38,560
beginning. You argued fits. I
didn't argue at all. I was a

111
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,959
pastmaker. There's good cop, bad
cop, and I guess I was the

112
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,240
bad cop that day. But basically
we sat down and we said, hey,

113
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,600
we're ready to go, and this
guy starts asking us like technical questions

114
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:50,439
about you know, what kind of
equipment you would need, and we were

115
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:54,079
going to come into a studio.
This is before people were working from their

116
00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:56,839
homes and you know what it's like
to do a talk shit how much work?

117
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,720
I said, yeah, I do, and we're willing to put the

118
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,639
work into it. Ray and I
were big cases together, twenty four forty

119
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:05,279
eight hours in a row and in
person or on phone whatever. I said,

120
00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:09,199
we can do this. Give us
a good producer and once a week,

121
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:11,240
two hours, three hours, twice
a week, we can do this.

122
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:13,480
And you and the guys, no, you can't. You don't know

123
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,680
how hard there is to be a
radio talk show host. I said,

124
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,439
I'm telling you we can do this. We're FBI retired, and we know

125
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,680
how to testify, we know how
to talk to people. I give present

126
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,360
take, and basically the one guy
just wound up slamming his book and said,

127
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:31,480
yeah, you don't call us,
we'll call you. And we walked

128
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:33,200
out the door and there are people
going by on their little motor scooters.

129
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,600
Remember I forget the guy's name.
That was one of the sports hosts and

130
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:39,559
that we walked up the door.
I called my friend Angelo and said,

131
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,120
it didn't go that well. He's
there yet, don't worry about it.

132
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,799
Let me see Fitz see what else
I can do. And I said,

133
00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:48,159
you know what, all this podcast
stuff is coming on the board now.

134
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,440
Maybe maybe eventually that'll be the direction
will go. And quite frankly, I

135
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,559
sat back and waited for the right
team to come to us, and basically

136
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,480
and Ray was a part of this
and that they can into I said,

137
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:03,279
hey, guys, you're the talent
quote unquote, and we'll put everything together,

138
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,080
the marketing and the admin stop and
of course the technical stuff. And

139
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,480
about six weeks ago we wasn't Ray
the night of the Nashville Students, or

140
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,200
maybe a couple of nights after that, and that was our first or second

141
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,519
episode and we've been going out of
it ever since. So right, I

142
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,720
try to do this with Terrestrial I
guess the radio they call that. And

143
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,240
we wound up barguing with the guy
we didn't get the job, we failed

144
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,799
the audition. But when our podcast
is as the thousands of downloads a week

145
00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:33,360
and our guy maybe saying, well, why didn't I hire them? Back

146
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:37,080
then? That was back in twenty
fifteen, believe it or not, that

147
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,159
you were just retired. I think
the summer of two fifteen. Every time

148
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,720
in fourteen, so the summer of
two fifteen when that came in, and

149
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:48,440
Jim is right. He took offense
that Jim believed that this wasn't a big

150
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,200
deal. And he says, I've
been doing this for twenty years, and

151
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:56,000
I'm telling you by all means,
this is a big deal. And I

152
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,279
said, I don't think that's what
Jim means. He just means it.

153
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,960
But to everything already went down to
drain by that point. So we just

154
00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:07,759
figured, all right, no worries
Jim, let's look for a different direction.

155
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,679
And Jim's right. A lot of
things came and went, and finally

156
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:15,679
they came to us and they had
a nice proposal and we agreed, let's

157
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,679
see where it goes. Let's see
where it goes. Fitch. You had

158
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:24,039
done a fair amount of podcasting with
Jim Clementi and others on Real Crime Profile

159
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,960
Ray. Had you also done guest
appearances on other true crime podcasts. Yes,

160
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,240
I was on Jim Clemente's podcast,
not as often as Jim, but

161
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,879
I was on there. I was
on a couple other ones after I wrote

162
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:43,639
a book, like things started to
come to Patrician in reference to that,

163
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,360
And that's another case that Jim and
I work, But I was more intimately

164
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,519
involved in that book in that case, and it seemed to be a good

165
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,480
story. So I wrote a book
and it drawed a lot of attention,

166
00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:58,960
media attention. It still is.
I just tell us the title. It's

167
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:03,440
called thirty Years on the Run,
the Hunt for the most prolific bank robber

168
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,399
in American history. Wow, and
Ray caught him. It's a book of

169
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:13,080
a happy ending. It is.
It is. It is a happy ending.

170
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,720
He's believe it or not. He's
actually out of prison. Now that's

171
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:20,360
how long this thing. He got
seventeen and a half years. It's happening

172
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,799
back in two thousand and two.
So he got out in late two thousand

173
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:28,360
and seventeen. He's out of prison. And I tried to and maybe one

174
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:31,960
of these days Jim will get a
chance to. Jim and I actually interviewed

175
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:35,440
him and he did on tape,
and so we have about a two and

176
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,759
a half hour tape of him live
while he was incarcerated, and Jim and

177
00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:45,559
I used that as a training tape
for other agencies looking at bank robbers because

178
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,240
he was unique. Here's a guy
that he was not your typical bank robber.

179
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,919
He began robbing banks in nineteen seventy
three and was arrested in two thousand

180
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,759
and two. Wow, that's a
long period of time. And the funny

181
00:11:58,799 --> 00:12:03,320
thing bat it is when we first
started looking at it, we were only

182
00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:07,360
under the oppression that he started robbing
banks in nineteen eighty seven. So my

183
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,799
first interview with him and said,
why don't you He goes, what do

184
00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:11,159
you want? What do you want
me to start? And say, why

185
00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:15,240
don't you start at the beginning?
He says, and my first robbery in

186
00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:18,679
nineteen seventy three, I went,
that was my first o ship moment.

187
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,559
Wow, don't I wasn't ready for
that. And I said, no,

188
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,320
why don't we start when you were
a little kid, and how you brought

189
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:30,440
up? Just to save myself because
I wasn't prepared. But here's a guy

190
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,960
that graduator from Villanova would a degree
in electric engineering, went into the military

191
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,200
Special Forces, but he didn't win
as an officer, which he could have.

192
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:43,039
He went as a non com.
He came out and went back to

193
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,919
the University of Penn got a master's
degree in systems engineering, and then went

194
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:52,720
on to Penn State working on a
PhD in statistics. So he was very

195
00:12:52,759 --> 00:12:56,399
accomplished and very intelligent, but he
never worked at day in his life.

196
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,679
His job was robbing banks the entire
thirties. It seems like such a disconnect

197
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:07,720
though, this guy with multiple degrees, he's clearly highly intelligent. Why the

198
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,159
heck would he go down the road
of being a bank robber? I could

199
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:16,639
tell you that, but then you'd
have to buy the book. So we

200
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:22,639
have to buy thirty Years on the
Run in order and everything about a story.

201
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,720
I'd be more than happy to come
back, and I don't want to

202
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:28,320
take up all the time here.
I'd be more than happy to come back

203
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,480
and talk about that at another time
with both both you and Christinville. That's

204
00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:37,039
not fascinating. Love that it is
a great story, and I was glad

205
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:41,240
I help. I ran some interference
with Ray, but to his credit,

206
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:45,080
it was him and his fellow agents
in the Philly division that really put the

207
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,000
case together. In fact, you
were pretty close Ray, and then nine

208
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,799
to eleven happened, And how to
put everything on hold for? Was it

209
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:58,120
a year even give or take eight
months, about five months five months.

210
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,799
Anyways, Jim so again eventually was
made whatever and Ray can get more into

211
00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:05,279
that. But we worked out to
do a behavioral a post conviction behavioral interview,

212
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,519
and we did, in fact recorded. We brought an FBI Academy videographer

213
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,600
with us and the whole sound thing
set up, and I guess what do

214
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,600
we bring him over to Philadelphia Division? Ray? We yep on a subpoena

215
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:20,919
of some sort and out of prison
and that we interviewed him for about three

216
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,039
or four hours. And a fascinating
guy. And I done that with a

217
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,840
few people in my life, even
in retirement. With the bank robbers and

218
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,080
other sexual assault type people. It's
frustrating party he wants to jump over the

219
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,399
desk and strangle them. Not so
much Carl though the bank robber, because

220
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:43,360
he was a polite bank robber.
He actually did shoot definitely one person,

221
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,639
Ray too maybe and maybe do we
have do we know for actually three but

222
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:50,519
just would take a step back talk
about jumping over the desk. I had

223
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:54,120
to stopped him from that guy.
At twelve ten. Jim did go over

224
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,200
the desk after that guy and I
had to grab him, just kidd and

225
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,360
he didn't do that. There was, believe it or not, there was

226
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:07,679
One was a bank manager in jim
Thorpe that was shot that almost dipped.

227
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:16,159
Another was a customer bank customer that
was coming in from carrying her business earnings

228
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:18,679
from the day to make a deposit
and he shot her and she had a

229
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,559
graze wound in the year. And
then there was another that he did not

230
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:26,200
admit to, but both Jim and
I believe he did, and that was

231
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,879
a shooting of a police officer in
nineteen eighty two up in Columbia, Pennsylvania,

232
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,159
and he denies that he did that, but it just seems that in

233
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,440
nineteen eighty two he stopped robbing banks
and began back up again in nineteen eighty

234
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,120
seven. So he took a five
year hiatus, and Jim and I both

235
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,399
asked him, why did you stop. He says, I just got to

236
00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:52,399
doing it and I wanted to do
something else. So what he did.

237
00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:58,759
What he did is he started stealing
books, textbooks from colleges and then he

238
00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:03,320
take those books in the back of
his van and he would go up to

239
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,600
Columbia University and he would post something
that books for sale because they all use

240
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:12,159
the same books right for sale,
statistics books, math books, economics,

241
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,320
and he would sell those. And
I said, geez, Carl, how

242
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,639
much money could you make timely?
Because I'd make thirty thousand dollars that's how

243
00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:25,360
many books he stole. It was
amazing, I said, thirty thousand dollars.

244
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,799
That's unbelievable. Most people in the
eighties, you were lucky if you

245
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,360
were making seventy thousand dollars a year. Before we move on, though,

246
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:38,120
one thing I wanted to ask was
when you told me that, if I'm

247
00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:42,720
doing this for memory, he served
seventeen years or something like that, seventeen

248
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:48,919
and a half. That strikes me
as a light sentence for someone that actually

249
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,919
committed acts of violence during the commission
of those bank robberies, because when you

250
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,960
first said that, I thought to
myself, this must be one of those

251
00:16:56,039 --> 00:17:03,200
gentlemanly bank robbers that doesn't shoot anyone
or injure anyone. And yet he actually

252
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,079
did injure at least two people.
Shooting a police officer, as we know,

253
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,759
is deadly serious business here. How
did he manage to only serve less

254
00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:17,880
than twenty years despite being a violent
criminal. He was arrested in two thousand

255
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:23,480
and two, and although the shootings, although very egregious as they were,

256
00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:29,559
they were outside the statute of limitations
are many of the bank robberies, so

257
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:36,160
there were really only five robberies that
were within the statute of limitations. So

258
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,039
he entered into a seed plea.
And what a seed plea is in federal

259
00:17:40,039 --> 00:17:45,400
court. It allows both the prosecutor
and the defense attorney to agree to a

260
00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:51,599
sentence before he sentenced. Now,
just because they agree to it does not

261
00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:56,640
mean that the judge has to abide. But in many cases it's discussed an

262
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:02,319
open court and the judge gives I'll
take it under consideration. But usually it

263
00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:07,359
works out in the benefit of the
offender when that happens, This is fascinating.

264
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,920
We gotta have you come back here
and talk about this case. Ray,

265
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,759
sure thing, Sure thing, Chris, and I'd love to. What

266
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:15,960
would you say are some of the
major goals that you have for your podcast

267
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:21,279
other than telling an amazing story,
which you both clearly can what are your

268
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,200
the major things that you want to
accomplish as you go through fits. I'll

269
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,319
start with you and then kick it
over to Ray. Yeah, we agreed

270
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:32,440
early on that. I don't think
this is too different from legitimate and professional

271
00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:34,799
podcasts or such as yourself. But
we want to make a big part of

272
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:41,119
our podcast about the victims. And
Bill, no one knows victimhood more than

273
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,759
you. You've lost a sister,
I've lost good friends, police officers,

274
00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:49,480
other friends, and robberies and things
like that, so it is very difficult,

275
00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:52,599
and we want to make sure that
why we can joke a little bit

276
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,759
as we are now, sometimes in
the beginning, sometimes at the end,

277
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,880
but in the middle, we're dead
serious about the topics at hand, and

278
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,359
and then we try to give every
episode at the end we try to give

279
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:10,279
some kind of a hints or suggestions
or ideas about how a victim can best

280
00:19:10,319 --> 00:19:14,680
protect themselves. It may be directly
related to the topic we just discussed,

281
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:17,960
it may be indirect to it,
but but we could be very basic,

282
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:22,119
it could be more advanced and complex. And from street crimes to cyber crimes,

283
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:26,799
it is about the victims. I'll
never forget the first crime con in

284
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,920
Indianapolis. I was there with Jim
Clemente. I'm not sure if you were

285
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,480
at that one, Christ and I
know you came to the Indianapolis one now.

286
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,119
I think my first one was Nashville. I met Indianapolis was the first

287
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,559
one, and that's where we met, I think for the first time.

288
00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:42,880
But I remember Jim was like the
MC for the whole thing and on the

289
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,880
stage that make sure we have a
moment in there about the Victims' all.

290
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,000
Fitch, you're right. I think
he's a brilliant guy, but he had

291
00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:52,599
so much on his mind that's had
maybe ten or so seconds of silence for

292
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,000
the victims before you we kick everything
off. He's a good idea, and

293
00:19:56,079 --> 00:19:59,559
I hope crime con we're not as
much involved in not as we used to

294
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,599
mounting his company and I have an
involvement there too, But so yeah,

295
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:06,799
it's about the victims. But of
course try to tell the story in between.

296
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,720
We're not lecturing anybody. We're not
saying here's what you got to do.

297
00:20:10,079 --> 00:20:12,920
But I think the way we try
to lay out our individual anecdotes or

298
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:18,319
multiple anecdotes regarding you know, different
types of criminals who may be committing the

299
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,200
same types of crimes a listeners and
viewers. At the end, here's how

300
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:26,519
you can avoid being a victim yourself
or a loved one, And by God,

301
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:30,400
forbid it does happen. Here's what
you know you can do to get

302
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,799
through it. Ray you want to
jump into Yeah, I think Jim said

303
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:41,000
it beautifully. Our whole thing is
to communicate to victims that they're not forgotten.

304
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,960
No victim is ever forgotten here.
So we do talk about things so

305
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,359
that we can help prepare those that
were victims so they won't be revictimized,

306
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,480
and those that have never been a
victim to make sure they can avoid things

307
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,839
by improving their situational awareness. The
situational awareness is such a big part of

308
00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:06,279
what people do every single day,
but people are so oblivious because they have

309
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,440
their heads in their phones or their
iPads and are not paying attention to what's

310
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:15,680
going on around them. People need
to do that more and more, especially

311
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,599
in today's society. You see some
of the violence that's occurring, and you

312
00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:23,119
see some of these things, and
you look at the violence and people are

313
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:29,640
being just jumped on in train stations, in the street, they're being knocked

314
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,119
to the ground. So that situational
awareness can help prevent you from maybe something

315
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,799
like that happening to you if you're
paying attention to your surroundings. One thing

316
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:44,279
I was wondering about the two of
you are both masterful storytellers. We often

317
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:49,200
talk about cases that you've worked that
you've solved. Are either of you comfortable

318
00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:56,160
talking about unsolved cases that you may
have worked in the past. Sure,

319
00:21:56,519 --> 00:22:00,000
it's part of who we are.
Yeah, one of the big one.

320
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,680
It sticks with me as a nineteen
ninety two eleven year old boy from Drexeld,

321
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:10,160
Pennsylvania that was down at the shore
in Cape May, Mark Himbach and

322
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,519
he disappeared Cape May, New Jersey, by the way, Yeah, Cape

323
00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:17,119
May, New Jersey. He disappeared
and they've never found him, and they've

324
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,440
never arrested anybody for that. And
I remember I was a fairly new agent,

325
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,240
maybe five six years on, and
that winds up falling on me and

326
00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:30,000
coming to me, and I just
I still think about that young boy.

327
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,440
First thing the king in my mind
when you mentioned it, that young child,

328
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,079
and it's still something that just bothers
me. Where is that young boy?

329
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,839
And today that's nineteen nineteen ninety two, he'd be in his forties.

330
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:47,400
Man, That's what's one that comes
to mind for you. Yeah, this

331
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:52,680
is it's easy to remember, but
very difficult to discuss. And that is

332
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,559
the case of my good friend Joe
Welsh, who was murdered in a street

333
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:03,640
robbery in Philadelphia in the nineteen ninety
seven. And I was out at Unibom,

334
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,559
just finishing up there, and I
get a phone call. Joe's been

335
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,119
shot. He's forty two years old. It was middle of the afternoon in

336
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,799
our old neighborhood, in our old
only neighborhood of Philadelphia. And he lived

337
00:23:14,839 --> 00:23:18,400
about two weeks and they finally just
pulled the ventilator and he was gone.

338
00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:22,759
And street crimes, robberies, Hey, give me your money. Probably a

339
00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:27,200
junkie. This is not what profilers
necessarily. It's not our expertise or a

340
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:32,279
tradecraft. Now I was a police
officer, of course I handled crimes such

341
00:23:32,279 --> 00:23:36,039
as this, and I helped solve
them. But and it wasn't an FBI

342
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:41,480
jurisdiction either. It was a robbery
homicide on the streets of Philadelphia. So

343
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:44,880
as a Philly PD case, I
worked with the detectives. I brought another

344
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,480
profiler up with me. We went
through the neighborhood, we went to the

345
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,839
crime scene and interviewed some people.
One guy was arrested, but let go.

346
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,799
So I'm doing now my fourth and
final book in my memoir series,

347
00:23:56,079 --> 00:24:00,119
and that's one of the chapters in
that book. I out that case and

348
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:06,079
I'm still friendly with his I was
actually most friendly with Joe Welsh's older brother,

349
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,440
John, who was actually one of
the people shot at the First Move

350
00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:15,279
confrontation in nineteen seventy eight. He
was a Philadelphia firefighter and he caught some

351
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:21,240
shot shotgun rounds to the neck.
I heard this on the radio live,

352
00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:23,960
and I actually left I was working
that day and drove down to Philly.

353
00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:30,119
He was okay and along with a
few other firefighters. But here twenty some

354
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,880
years later, his younger brother gets
murdered in a street robbery. And again

355
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,839
it wasn't an FBI case. I
didn't have my name on the case file,

356
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,559
per se. But I said to
the PD I want to help you

357
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:45,720
guys solve this. I said to
the family, I want to help you

358
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:48,720
guys solve this. And to this
day it hasn't been solved. And I

359
00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:52,680
don't want to get too ahead of
myself here, but there'll be a special

360
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,680
announcement at the time of the publication
of my fourth book in which I include

361
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:02,400
this chapter about Joe Welsh that it
solved or I have a suspect, but

362
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:07,119
let's just say something I'm willing to
do to help maybe refresh the memories of

363
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,720
some people out there. So let's
hope that works and finally, after all

364
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:14,160
this time, we can get some
resolution to this. One case that sticks

365
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,799
in my craw was Joe Welsh in
law enforcement at the time he was killed?

366
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,200
Or he was a civilian? Nope, he was a civilian. Three

367
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,559
o'clock in the afternoon. He had
some work for the Philadelphia Department of License

368
00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:29,319
and Inspection, walking home from a
training seminar to his car in his old

369
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,079
neighborhood and someone just confronted them on
the streets. And we have a witness

370
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,200
looking out the window and saw everything
go down. It was very tough to

371
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,480
hear all that. But I do
stand. I still plan on solving this

372
00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:42,839
case with help with the PHILLYPD.
And we can talk about the boy in

373
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,920
the box in a bit. But
it took sixty five years to solve that

374
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,480
case, or at least identify the
young boy. Maybe we can find the

375
00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:53,440
person who killed Joe Welsh and let
the justice come for that person as it

376
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,359
should be meeted. I remember that
case, Jimmy, I remember you given

377
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,519
a call up that I remember running
down leads for you with that up in

378
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:06,200
Philadelphia. I remember that was I'm
sorry I never forgot about Joe either.

379
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:10,039
I know that affects you. I'm
really sorry that that's a that's something I

380
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,000
appreciate that and we will get it
solved. And I'm hoping this chapter in

381
00:26:12,039 --> 00:26:17,480
my book and get some more headlines
out of it. We can bring some

382
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,839
closure to it. Do you get
me if you need anything? Thank you.

383
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:25,559
Right you're listening to Mind over Murder. We'll be right back after this

384
00:26:25,599 --> 00:26:41,079
word from our sponsors, we're back
here at Mind over Murder. As podcasters,

385
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,599
we all sort of work within the
same true crime space and there's always

386
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:51,960
the same sorts of major issues that
we talk about in the crime injustice space,

387
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,480
Unsolved cases and how to solve them, best uses for DNA, forensic

388
00:26:56,519 --> 00:27:00,440
genetic genealogy, that sort of thing. What are some of the big issues

389
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:04,359
in the crime injustice space that the
two of you want to discuss on the

390
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:10,480
pod I would have to say violence
in general, it's off the charts.

391
00:27:10,519 --> 00:27:14,880
It's like it's like a war zone. Violence against the elderly, violence against

392
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:21,079
women. There's an addiction epidemic out
there, there is huge mental health issues

393
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:25,680
out there. There's a big lack
of trust between police officers and citizens.

394
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,359
There's a lot of issues that are
facing police agencies this year. Think about

395
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,559
and one of the things I'm on
the Police Administration Committee for the IACPIT,

396
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:41,319
and the IACP is the International Association
of Chiefs of Police and this year's media

397
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,599
is in San Diego and I go
to the early meetings. But one of

398
00:27:44,599 --> 00:27:51,519
the biggest problems with police forces across
the country is recruitment and retention. That's

399
00:27:51,559 --> 00:27:53,920
just a big thing. And look
at the media coverage. Whence the last

400
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:59,079
time you heard something pleasant about what
the police do. Unless you're watch it

401
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,440
on a YouTube, a TikTok someone
sends you a TikTok thing, nobody ever

402
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,720
talks about that. Police are so
under the gun that no matter what they

403
00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:11,559
do, they're under the risk of
prosecution. How do you work under that?

404
00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:14,480
What does that do for morale?
What does that do for their wellness?

405
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,240
Police officers want to be part of
the solution, but I don't think

406
00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:22,319
the media and the public are giving
the opportunity to do. What I'll add

407
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,200
to that is both directly and indirectly. Yeah, I support the police,

408
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,079
I'll say one hundred percent. But
having said that, I've been involved in

409
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:34,279
the arrest of police officers and FBI
agents. If they're dirty, they should

410
00:28:34,319 --> 00:28:37,680
go down, of course due process. Of course, they've every right that

411
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:41,160
everyone else does. But yeah,
we do have to give the law enforcement

412
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:47,480
more support today than ever because they
are being decimated in the social media and

413
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:52,039
regular media for that matter. I
was interested in learning just a few months

414
00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:56,200
ago at v DOC of a new
term that a prosecutor laid on me,

415
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,279
and I was familiar with the term. So let's take it to the next

416
00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:02,599
level. Ray, just us what's
happening in the streets, the subways in

417
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,839
many of our large cities, the
crime rates and other places. And so

418
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,240
let's say there isn't arrest made.
Well, now the person goes to trial

419
00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:12,960
and there's a jury. And for
years we've heard the term CSI jury,

420
00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:18,599
and that is and Chris, and
you mentioned some of these forensic capabilities early

421
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,640
on when you asked this question,
and it's like nowaday or then the CSI

422
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:29,240
jury. If there wasn't DNA,
if there wasn't clear whole color surveillance video,

423
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,960
and of course throw in fingerprints.
They were reluctant to convict someone based

424
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,599
on watching the TV show CSI,
in which every forty two minute episode with

425
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,039
commercials, of course, wound up
at being closed because one of these three

426
00:29:42,079 --> 00:29:48,559
factors kicked in. You don't necessarily
need DNA fingerprints or surveillance cameras. There's

427
00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:52,920
plenty of direct and indirect evidence.
There's plenty of circumstantial evidence that in fact,

428
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,559
can lead to a conviction. Well, I learned just a few months

429
00:29:56,599 --> 00:29:59,640
ago from someone at the v Doc
Society. She was a guest. She's

430
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,400
a secutor in northern New Jersey.
Now, the term the prosecutors us,

431
00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:07,880
besides a CSI jury, is a
Netflix jury. And I said, boy,

432
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,319
I think I know where you're going
with that, But tell me,

433
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,039
And she said, yeah, it's
like people now watch Netflix and all these

434
00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:19,599
documentaries are about either someone was falsely
accused and falsely convicted, or they raised

435
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:26,119
serious questions about the legitimacy of an
arrest and a conviction. And I know

436
00:30:26,359 --> 00:30:29,759
with the I guess the granddaddy of
all podcasts, certainly in true crime,

437
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,079
was Serial About I've not I forget
his last name. Yeah, And I

438
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,440
listened to that and very interesting.
But I said, after listening to that,

439
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,519
I said, we could pick there's
a there's criminal investigation that was broken

440
00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:48,400
down into every single element and torn
apart every witness identification. And just because

441
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,559
something's called a documentary, it does
not mean it's one hundred percent objective or

442
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,200
even true. Producers, directors,
they have their agendas too. Some of

443
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,319
them is to sell that the documentary. I know that was PBA, I

444
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,119
think it or NPR, whatever it
was, But I remember telling people said,

445
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:07,039
it's interesting. They do raise some
good questions. You can have the

446
00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:12,160
best brain surgeon in the world that
performs a perfect operation, very complicated,

447
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:18,680
very technical, and then you have
a team that comes in afterwards and looks

448
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,920
at everything she did and said,
you know what, no, this could

449
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,200
have been done better here. Now
I have a problem with cutting this part

450
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,440
of the left side of the brains. And I'm just using this, of

451
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:32,599
course as an example. So that's
where it's also problematic with Joris, this

452
00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:36,640
Netflix that they watch these shows that
according to these documentaries, many of these

453
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,400
people are innocent and shouldn't be in
jail. And the last thing that's not

454
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,880
to do with TV, but I
teach I know Ray teaches in academia.

455
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:47,759
I teach at Penwest University. I'm
familiar with people teaching at Georgetown University.

456
00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:51,920
And there's something very popular in academia
right now called the innocence problem. Boy,

457
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,519
it sounds great and it's I'm all
for it. I've even helped on

458
00:31:55,559 --> 00:31:59,599
a few cases. But you have
some of these professors, usually lawyers,

459
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:05,960
dems, coming in and they're convincing
entire auditoriums of college students that virtually everyone

460
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,440
in prison is innocent. And I
think that is unhealthy. It's not the

461
00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:14,559
case. Are there some people in
prison that shouldn't be there, possibly,

462
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,880
but we're talking less than point zero
zero zero one percent, and yeah,

463
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,279
let's fight for those people. But
I think we're getting school of thought put

464
00:32:22,279 --> 00:32:28,119
out there now that prosecutions are bad, convictions are bad in jail is good.

465
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,480
And I know some academics in my
field of forensic linguistics. They refused

466
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:36,000
to work with law enforcement, They
refused to work with prosecution. They'll only

467
00:32:36,039 --> 00:32:38,319
work for the defense. I remember
twenty years ago talking to some folks,

468
00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:43,200
I would never work a capital case
for the prosecution. Okay, I respect

469
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,480
that you don't want to. You
don't believe in the death penalty. I

470
00:32:45,559 --> 00:32:49,640
respect that, but now they've reached
the point they won't work with law enforcement

471
00:32:49,799 --> 00:32:52,799
or prosecutors' offices at all. I
said, we shouldn't the evidence supersede that

472
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,400
you look at the evidence in the
case. Wouldn't that just you could look

473
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,079
at that objectively and say, hey, this guy, if it's a what

474
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,599
was the case he did write this
threatening letter or whatever? And they said

475
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:05,960
no, No, I just I
don't believe in the system anymore. And

476
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,359
of course they're teaching students, and
I just think it could be very problematic

477
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:13,160
that way. Every case has to
be looked at individually, and there's no

478
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,720
problem doing that. But I think
a lot of these students are being convinced

479
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,359
and a lot of our public is
being convinced that the criminal justice system is

480
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:23,160
flawed and it's putting too many people
in jail that don't belong there. It's

481
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,839
the best system there's ever been,
and that's just a falsehood that's being that's

482
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,480
permeating throughout our society that I hope
can be corrected. You mentioned the VIDAC

483
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:36,880
Society a moment ago, and we
know you're both members of VIDAC. For

484
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:42,119
the benefit of our listeners, Can
you explain what the society is and how

485
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:46,920
it functions, right, Jim Doc
VIDOCQ. It was the name of a

486
00:33:47,039 --> 00:33:54,640
French criminal, Jacques or Jean.
I forget his personal Francis probably Francois French.

487
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,440
Anyway, you remember the name.
I didn't, but be a member

488
00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:04,240
for fifteen years. Anyway, he
was a criminal in Paris and they locked

489
00:34:04,279 --> 00:34:07,799
him up and he realized the wrongs
of his ways and he came out.

490
00:34:07,839 --> 00:34:10,480
And the police had first hired him
just to help out solving crimes, and

491
00:34:10,559 --> 00:34:14,079
next thing you know, he became
a police officer, and next thing you

492
00:34:14,079 --> 00:34:17,480
know, he became the chief of
a police of the Paris Police department.

493
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:23,079
And he's considered the first true detective. Sherlock Holmes's course was fictional, but

494
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:28,559
France Sis v doc was real and
he lived to eighty two years of age.

495
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:32,199
So that's why v DOC only has
eighty two full members privilege to be

496
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,159
one of those full members, but
there are hundreds of associate members. And

497
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,039
they were founded really started with the
boy in the box case. That case

498
00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:44,400
goes back to the late fifties,
but they were reinvestigating this matter in the

499
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,719
late nineteen eighties, a few people
got together and said, why don't we

500
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,800
start this little group the society.
We had these lawyers, we know,

501
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,199
we had these retired investigators. Let's
meet for lunch once a month or so

502
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:59,239
in the fancy Union League building in
downtown Philadelphia and South Broad Street. And

503
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,079
it grew from there. Now it's
several hundred people strong, and we do

504
00:35:02,199 --> 00:35:06,760
meet the third Thursday of every month
and a new case comes in. We're

505
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,679
a nonprofit, of course, we
actually pay to go to these lunches,

506
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:13,679
and that's fine because we're contributing to
the cause. We fly in the departments.

507
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,239
Usually you won't get like NYPD or
LAPD coming in, and not because

508
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,239
one set of detectives is better than
the other, but they have the funding

509
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,000
and they have the personnel that they
can handle a lot of their cases.

510
00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:28,159
We'll usually get smaller to mid size
departments who come in and the cases at

511
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,880
least five years old. We've had
cases there ray probably fifty years old.

512
00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:35,440
Besides even boy in the box,
and we'll sit and listen to the investigators.

513
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,079
Rarely are the investigators in the front
of the room, the ones who

514
00:35:38,119 --> 00:35:44,039
initially work the case. So we're
getting like second or third generation investigators,

515
00:35:44,039 --> 00:35:47,119
because now there's a cold case squad
formed in their department and they're now involved

516
00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:50,400
in it, and they're saying,
all right, here's everything they did back

517
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,880
then. Here's everything we have in
front of us. Can you guys help

518
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:58,039
put these things together? And we
have DNA experts, we have profilers,

519
00:35:58,079 --> 00:36:02,360
forensic linguists. Ray has all kinds
of backgrounds with evidence and hostage negotiation as

520
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,920
a profiling coordinator and certainly an investigator. And we have other people that are

521
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:12,639
lawyers and computer people, blood spatter
people, and we're all together in one

522
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,440
room. There's usually fifty or sixty
of us. They do the PowerPoint presentation.

523
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:21,159
Always buy dessert times when the autopsy
pictures go up, which is strange.

524
00:36:21,599 --> 00:36:24,320
Oh god, people like Ray and
I are used to that. That's

525
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:31,320
why I need dessert, Jim.
Okay, I don't deserve even today.

526
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,119
I don't need dessert, Jim.
There's a reason for it. Okay,

527
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:37,280
someone's going to bring out some pictures
dead bodies. Don't you like e dessert

528
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:43,719
time? Oh my god, you
and the sixth sense kid. But it's

529
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,519
not even planned that way. It's
just there's always a few autopsy pictures in

530
00:36:46,559 --> 00:36:51,000
there, and then we have a
Q and A afterwards. We've started about

531
00:36:51,039 --> 00:36:52,760
two or three years ago. We
don't just end it on that day,

532
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,239
say thank you detectives, let us
know if anything happens. We now have

533
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,360
working teams that we all assign to
each of these cases, maybe a dozen

534
00:37:00,559 --> 00:37:05,400
members each with varied backgrounds, and
we'll do our best to do follow ups

535
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,039
with these detectives for months, if
not years down the line. They are

536
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:13,159
very appreciative of their day or two
in Philadelphia and that they know they're getting

537
00:37:13,159 --> 00:37:15,679
the top quality people who can talk
to talk but also have walk the walk.

538
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,800
To use that expression again in terms
of what we can offer them back.

539
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,679
And every case gets solved because they
only bring us the toughest cases.

540
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:28,960
Five ten could be thirty six years
old someday, Bill, But there's actually

541
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,719
advantages to working cases that are old
that you don't have in the beginning.

542
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:36,159
And I know our time is running
out of here, but allegiances that were

543
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,320
very strong back when a murder was
committed, they somehow fade away when the

544
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,760
big tough guy back then who maybe
was the murder, he's now a little,

545
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,559
fat, bald guy that doesn't quite
have the power base that he used

546
00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:51,400
to and his cohorts, his ex
girlfriend, ex wife, whatever. He

547
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,400
doesn't instill the fear in them that
he used to. So that's a big

548
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,000
factor. And what we say,
try to go back and interview this person

549
00:37:57,039 --> 00:38:00,679
again. Reinterview people, maybe have
them wear a wire all legally, of

550
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,800
course, check their phone records,
things that most investigators will have done already.

551
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,159
But we try to take them to
the next level. And sometimes they'll

552
00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:10,880
come in with one or two suspects. Sometimes it's five suspects or more.

553
00:38:12,199 --> 00:38:15,960
Sometimes no suspects at all, and
that's when we'll try to paint the profile

554
00:38:15,079 --> 00:38:19,199
for them. When there's no suspect, but if they have four or five,

555
00:38:19,519 --> 00:38:22,599
we'll do our best to prioritize them. Usually we can roll out two

556
00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:25,360
or three say I would say it's
this number one guy here. I would

557
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,960
do everything in your power to eliminate
him, and if you do, then

558
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,760
go to number two. But boy, everything you've told us, this seems

559
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,199
to be the culprit here. And
the investigators from all over the country,

560
00:38:36,199 --> 00:38:38,400
We've even had them come in from
Canada already. They really appreciate the help

561
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,519
we can give. And we definitely
have solved some cases, including that one

562
00:38:42,559 --> 00:38:45,960
that's sixty five years old. The
one thing that Jim says, I'm also

563
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,840
a full member with the society,
But the one thing that Jim talks about

564
00:38:50,039 --> 00:38:54,360
is the disciplines. You have to
understand that any discipline that you could think

565
00:38:54,400 --> 00:39:00,199
of, from toxicology to blood spatter
to fingerprinting tool or fee, no matter

566
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:05,920
what it is, there's somebody within
this society that has an expertise. It's

567
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,519
a subject matter expert in that area
that they bring to the table. So

568
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:15,079
we have the ability that nobody else
in this country has is to have every

569
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:21,039
discipline covered, looking at it,
even genealogy. We have everything covered,

570
00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:24,920
which makes us so unique. One
thing I'll mentioned because I know our listeners

571
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:30,159
are going to bring it up after
listening to this fascinating part of the conversation.

572
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,679
I want to make it clear.
The Colonial Parkuay murders families did request

573
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:39,920
that the FBI, Norfolk and Newport
News offices take the Colonial Parkway murders to

574
00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:45,599
the VDOC Society, and v I
turned us down. This was in twenty

575
00:39:45,039 --> 00:39:50,840
ten. I believe I was involved
in the formal request and they turned us

576
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,719
down, and you get the usual
bureaucratic answer. It's an open case.

577
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:59,119
We don't feel like we want to
bring in outside experts. I'm not saying

578
00:39:59,159 --> 00:40:02,079
I wouldn't be willing to revisit that. I know people have said to us

579
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:07,400
who follow the podcast, have you
ever considered the v doc society? And

580
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:12,079
I know that this conversation will steer
people back in that direction. I'd certainly

581
00:40:12,119 --> 00:40:15,079
be willing to revisit it, but
I do want our listeners to know that

582
00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:20,360
we did ask and we were turned
down before. I still think it would

583
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,159
be a great case for a VIDC. Although it's a very complicated case.

584
00:40:23,519 --> 00:40:28,760
We've had complicated cases and we can
handle them, and every case has to

585
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,800
go by its own merits. I'll
be careful here, Bill, but I

586
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:35,760
really wish perhaps a new team of
FBI agents. And I forgot it was

587
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,480
as long as thirty six years.
What the hell do they have to lose

588
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:43,000
at this point in a closed society
of experts. We're not saying to a

589
00:40:43,079 --> 00:40:45,880
documentary and yet, although that may
be down the line, something to do

590
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,320
too. I know there have been
some media shows on that, but they

591
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,440
get really into the depth of this
investigation. What the hell do they have

592
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:58,280
to lose after all this time,
So I disagree with their logic there,

593
00:40:58,519 --> 00:41:01,679
I agree with you, but maybe
they don't know about and I don't know.

594
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,559
But do we know if this case
was ever sent down to BAU,

595
00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:10,280
yes, or look at its actually
been looked at by BAU more than once.

596
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,280
That's still not a problem. There's
been cases that have been looked at

597
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,079
by BAU that have still come to
the Vduck Society. We've been able to

598
00:41:19,119 --> 00:41:22,400
help because you get a fresh set
of eyes on it, which is exactly

599
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,880
what you need. You need these
fresh set of eyes to give you some

600
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:29,960
insight that you may not be able
to see because your judgment is clouded or

601
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,400
because it's so old. But some
of the guys in the Vduck Society are

602
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:37,199
pretty old too, So not us, not me and you, Jim.

603
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,360
But there's some guys there and ladies
that are pretty old that have been around

604
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:45,000
the block a few times so they
know what to look for. So yeah,

605
00:41:45,039 --> 00:41:46,519
I hope that. I hope we
get a chance to take a look

606
00:41:46,519 --> 00:41:50,760
at that Bill, I really do. Yeah, And unfortunately we can't reach

607
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,960
out. The Rock doesn't call these
local or state police departments or FBI.

608
00:41:54,159 --> 00:41:58,039
Hey, we'd really like it to
be. It has to be the initiation

609
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,079
of the peoven the family. They
can request all they want to us,

610
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:05,159
they really have to go to the
investigative agency itself. So there's a number

611
00:42:05,159 --> 00:42:07,360
of cases of which I am familiar. I would love to just run it

612
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,000
ourselves at the DOC, but of
course we can't do that. We need

613
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,719
the inside investigators that can really bring
us the information that can help solve the

614
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,039
case. It's an intriguing possibility,
without question. So I know both of

615
00:42:20,039 --> 00:42:23,400
you are authors. We've referenced Ray's
book already, and Jim has references of

616
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,079
course, But let's get it on
the record for anybody who wants to embark

617
00:42:28,119 --> 00:42:30,800
on a literary journey through your books. So Ray, give us the details

618
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,920
about yours and where people can find
it, and then Fits give us yours.

619
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,159
The name of the book is thirty
Years on the Run, the Hunt

620
00:42:37,159 --> 00:42:43,320
for the most prolific bank robber and
American in history. It's about an individual

621
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:46,480
that was involved in robbing banks for
thirty years before he was caught. He's

622
00:42:46,599 --> 00:42:52,719
unique. I gave you some insight
into that. If you're interested in purchasing

623
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,760
this book, you can do so
on Amazon or you can go to my

624
00:42:54,880 --> 00:43:00,559
website Raymond Jacar dot com and you
can order right off my web if you'd

625
00:43:00,559 --> 00:43:04,880
like to do it there as well. M and Jacar dot com and fits.

626
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,320
Go ahead and talk about your books, please, Ray. When people

627
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,440
buy your books from you, do
you give them free sign to posters with

628
00:43:10,519 --> 00:43:15,719
cool statements on them? Because I
do? Now. I knew you were

629
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,440
gonna say it. Not you and
your bvds or anything, is it,

630
00:43:19,519 --> 00:43:22,400
Jim? Jeez? No, Ray, there's your fantasy life aside for a

631
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:28,440
minute, for a minute, anyway. My book series is a Journey to

632
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,519
the Center of the Mind. All
three books have the same title, and

633
00:43:30,559 --> 00:43:34,599
I'm now doing the fourth one.
It'll be out in the fall, and

634
00:43:34,639 --> 00:43:37,800
by popular demand, I put the
third book I had. I hired a

635
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,159
professional voiceover guy to do the third
book. He did a great job.

636
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:44,840
In fact, it was nominated for
an award the Audio Book, and I

637
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,800
didn't win, but it was still
being nominated was pretty cool. People said,

638
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,719
Hey, this guy was great,
Jim, this guy was great,

639
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,159
But I want to hear your voice, I said, I put off writing.

640
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,440
I wrote three books in five years
and I needed a little bit of

641
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:59,480
a break. And so now just
back in February or so, I started

642
00:43:59,519 --> 00:44:01,679
doing my fourth book, would be
the final book in my memoir series,

643
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,760
also a Journey to the Center of
the Mine, and it will be me

644
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,639
narrating the second half of my FBI
career and the exciting stuff that happened in

645
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:15,280
retirement in the fifteen years since I've
retired, but still a very busy profiler

646
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,760
and forensic linguist. But I want
to add in there too. Separate from

647
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:23,000
those that book series, I also
did an audio book called The Fits Files

648
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:29,119
man Hunt Unibomber, and just a
few years after the mini series came out

649
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:34,639
it was so popular. Of course, Manhunt Unibomber's Sam Worthington portrayed me in

650
00:44:34,679 --> 00:44:37,039
that series. It's eight part was
on Discovery Channel, then on Netflix.

651
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,920
Now I think it's only on Amazon
and the Discovery Channel website. But I

652
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,239
did a companion piece, if you
will, in which it's eight chapters in

653
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:51,800
this audiobook, and each chapter relates
to one of the episodes in Manhunt Unibomber,

654
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,599
and I break down for the listeners
what actually happened, what didn't happen,

655
00:44:54,679 --> 00:44:58,679
why the writers and directors made it
this way. And I also interviewed

656
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,119
Jim Clemente because he was one of
the co creators of it, the director.

657
00:45:01,159 --> 00:45:05,920
I interviews Greggy Antennas, Andrew Sidrowski, the head writer, and a

658
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,840
couple of the prop guys are are
really cool too in the stories they tell

659
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:13,440
in terms of how they make a
series from twenty or twenty five years back,

660
00:45:13,639 --> 00:45:16,000
and how they get old fax machines
and old computers and that's just part

661
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,800
of it, and even guns and
how that stuff works. So A Journey

662
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,760
to Center Mind is a series Amazon
and through my website you get a free

663
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:29,280
cool poster. Go through me directly, and also Amazon and audio dot com

664
00:45:29,519 --> 00:45:34,599
where the Fitz files man hunt unibummer, what's the poster to pick? I

665
00:45:34,679 --> 00:45:37,079
was actually going to reach for mine
so I could show it to you.

666
00:45:37,159 --> 00:45:45,800
I don't Jim has a copy.
Give him a second. It's a pretty

667
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:50,920
good looking to see this, Fray. You're you think you're funny here,

668
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,840
don't you? No, not at
all. Rays looks for ideas to help

669
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:58,800
market thirty years on the run his
book. He wants to be as successful

670
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,920
as you are. Fits. Why
can't I find them? I don't want

671
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:06,440
to say we're seeing the best side
of it right now, Jim, don't

672
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:12,239
worry, you know, I have
my relatively close by there. Oh my

673
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,639
god. But if I leave it
up there, someone will print it out

674
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:17,679
and they copy. Hey, let
me tell you what's happening real quick to

675
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:22,480
me. People are contacting me by
mail and online and Ray, this is

676
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,239
going to happen to you. And
there's pictures of Ted Kazinski and mugshots and

677
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,679
they want me to sign them.
They say it's for their kids, and

678
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,760
their kids are in wheelchairs and hospital
beds. And one of them sent them

679
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,519
to my actual address. And how
did they find that out? And I

680
00:46:35,599 --> 00:46:38,840
waited a while. It's a former
address. Now it really is all right,

681
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,639
your kids in a wheelchair, right, you're sick, you're elderly.

682
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,800
I signed them. It's only three
or four of them up, so it's

683
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,440
Ted Kazinski, it's me at the
cabin. They're online. They print them

684
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,400
out in nice stock paper. I
signed them. You can guess where this

685
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:57,480
is going. They're on eBay seventy
five, one hundred dollars. There's a

686
00:46:57,519 --> 00:47:00,159
guy now wants my business card because
he wants to teach his son how to

687
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:07,480
be my head. Just sign the
business card, so we can put it

688
00:47:07,559 --> 00:47:12,000
up in his little glass case.
And and I haven't responded yet, and

689
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,559
I'm thinking there saying if you put
it on eBay, I want whatever running

690
00:47:16,599 --> 00:47:21,239
here. So did you get my
letter, Jim? I asked for money,

691
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,679
Yeah, but you sent me your
picture, which automatically negated the deal.

692
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,079
I can see you whenever I want. I know. That's terrible,

693
00:47:29,079 --> 00:47:32,719
and it's we're gonna have to We're
gonna have to continue this. This has

694
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:37,920
been an amazing conversation. We're gonna
invite you on to our show. How

695
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,400
about that? Absolutely? We would
love that. Okay, we would love

696
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:45,320
that so much. That is gonna
wrap for this episode of mind Over Murder
