00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>On Wiki Travel. The Pacific Northwest is best known for

2
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 1>its beautiful coastline, green interior, rainy weather, and spectacular mountains.

3
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>But because of all this, it's also the perfect place

4
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to go missing. My name's Carmita and I grew up

5
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>in the Pacific Northwest and Portland, Oregon. I host a

6
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>podcast called Missing in the PNW. My podcast is different

7
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>from others you may have heard because I focus specifically

8
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 1>on two things. The first is that all of the

9
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>missing person cases that I cover are strictly from the

10
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Pacific Northwest and Oregon and Washington. I know the title

11
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 1>of my podcast shouldn't given that one away.

12
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 2>The second thing is that my podcast focuses strictly on

13
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 2>missing persons from marginalized communities such as the black, Hispanic,

14
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Native American Indigenous people and the LGBTQ plus communities.

15
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, the ones that get absolutely no media attention.

16
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Now.

17
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm not an investigative journalist or a reporter. I'm actually

18
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 3>a widowed mom of three who loves true crime and

19
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 3>has a passion for social justice. So join me in

20
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 3>helping to spread the word on these missing person cases

21
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:15.239
<v Speaker 3>and help you the voice for the ones that are

22
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 3>now voiceless. You can find Missing in the PNW on

23
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 3>all of the major streaming apps, as well.

24
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 4>As on socials at Missing in the PNW podcast. If

25
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 4>you have a case you want me to cover, please

26
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.879

<v Speaker 4>com or send me a message through Facebook Messenger. I

28
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 4>hope to talk to you soon, and remember, have fun,

29
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 4>but be safe.

30
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 5>Darkcast Network indie shows that don't hold back. I'm Kai

31
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 5>from Love and Murder, Heartbreak to Homicide where truelove turns

32
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 5>deadly and you're listening to Rainbow Crimes with hopefully some

33
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 5>Unicorn justice.

34
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 6>Hey, they're my warriors. It's me CJ. I hope everyone

35
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 6>is well. I'm doing okay. I was just listening to

36
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.960
<v Speaker 6>some country music while researching this case. A friend wanted

37
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 6>me to check out Ashley McBride. She's great. She's a

38
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.960
<v Speaker 6>singer songwriter who's spent in a four year relationship with

39
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 6>a woman. Although I don't think she's too publicly open

40
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 6>about it other than on her Facebook page, she has

41
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 6>definitely been credited with being openly an LGBTQ supporter, which

42
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 6>I love. So if you like country music, give her

43
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 6>a go. Other than that, not too much going on

44
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 6>here on the coast of Oregon. I did get news

45
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 6>that the kids are going to be in California for

46
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 6>a month this summer, so I'll be flying solo for

47
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 6>a bit, and that's okay with me. They're taking their

48
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 6>big dog, so it'll be just me, Jack, the cats,

49
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 6>the snake and its feeder mice. But I won't have

50
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 6>piles of dishes to have to wash every day, and

51
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 6>that's gonna be so nice. They've invited me to drive

52
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 6>down and stay with them for a bit, but honestly,

53
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 6>I don't really want to take that dribe twice this year.

54
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 6>I hate driving so much, and I'm already going the

55
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 6>end of this month for the wedding that I'm going to,

56
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 6>So there's that. Oh and I would like to take

57
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 6>a moment and shout out my latest patron over on Patreon,

58
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 6>a huge welcome to Elliott. Elliott will be riding a

59
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 6>gorgeous bluish silver unicorn we call MWS Elliot. You're a

60
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 6>rock star. I have a missing but not forgotten LGBTQ

61
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 6>person that I'd like to tell you about. On January tenth,

62
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 6>twenty twenty three, in Richmond, Virginia, a fifty three year

63
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 6>old black trans woman named Lovely Brooks who goes by Angie,

64
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 6>went missing. She was last seen on the one thousand

65
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 6>block of Barlin Avenue in Richmond. Angie was living with

66
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 6>and caring for her father, who was the last to

67
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 6>see her when she left their home that morning. Angie

68
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 6>had her purse and cell phone with her, but most

69
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 6>of all her other belongings they were left in the house,

70
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 6>including her phone charger, which Angie rarely went anywhere without.

71
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 6>She was known to go and stay for a day

72
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 6>or two with friends, but she would always tell her

73
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 6>family before doing this. Angie also didn't own a vehicle,

74
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 6>and she relied sometimes on her niece to take her places.

75
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 6>On this particular day, it appeared Angie left the house

76
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 6>on foot. Angie is very close to her sister, Pam,

77
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.360
<v Speaker 6>and Pam's daughter, who in twenty twenty three was seventeen

78
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.519
<v Speaker 6>years old, and she also would stay with Angie and

79
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 6>Angie's dad in the home, and that's another reason why

80
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 6>it was easy for Angie to ask her knees for rides.

81
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 6>When Angie didn't return home that evening, it was the

82
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 6>seventeen year old who was worried sick about her. She

83
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.319
<v Speaker 6>called her mom when she couldn't get a hold of

84
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 6>Angie on her phone. Her mom, Pam, is the one

85
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 6>that reported Angie missing. Other than her regular deposits of

86
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 6>a disability check that she received, and I'm thinking it's

87
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.360
<v Speaker 6>like a direct deposit thing, her bank account has gone untouched.

88
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 6>While authorities have checked her cell phone pinging in the usage,

89
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 6>they've not given any definitive answers as to what might

90
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 6>be on there. And that's because mostly the case is

91
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.920
<v Speaker 6>still open and they want to hold things close to

92
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 6>their vest. However, law enforcement does believe thou play is

93
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.879
<v Speaker 6>involved in this case. They also have a couple of

94
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 6>people of interest that they've been looking into. Angie stands

95
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.000
<v Speaker 6>six feet tall. She's about a hundred and forty pounds.

96
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.720
<v Speaker 6>She has long, dark brown black hair and with sometimes

97
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 6>some red highlights. She has brown eyes. She has a

98
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 6>small heart tattoo on her chest and pierced ears. Should

99
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 6>you have any information on this case, please call Detective

100
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.360
<v Speaker 6>Clarence Key of the Richmond Police Department and you can

101
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:40.160
<v Speaker 6>reach him at area code eight O four six four

102
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 6>six six seven six four. With that all said, let's

103
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.959
<v Speaker 6>get into our main case. And hey, it's the first

104
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 6>episode of season twenty. And if you're still with me

105
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 6>from the very first season, I love you. You're a rock

106
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 6>star too. You know, sometimes we come across a really

107
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 6>old cold case that might appear hopeless to ever solve,

108
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 6>and we filled deeply for the victim that never appears

109
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.480
<v Speaker 6>to be able to get the justice that they deserve. This,

110
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:18.279
<v Speaker 6>sadly is one of those cases. Fortunately, there is still

111
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.439
<v Speaker 6>someone who hasn't all but given up on the closure

112
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:25.720
<v Speaker 6>to this case. His name is Clark Williams and he's

113
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:31.959
<v Speaker 6>a cold case investigator and volunteer criminologists. Clark was instrumental

114
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 6>in helping to solve the cold case of Billy Newton

115
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.920
<v Speaker 6>in southern California. Maybe you remember I covered Billy's case

116
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:44.000
<v Speaker 6>in season eleven, episode eleven, The Gay Black Dahlia. Now

117
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.600
<v Speaker 6>Clark is offering up his services to investigate a crime

118
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 6>that happened back in nineteen eighty three. At the end

119
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.560
<v Speaker 6>of presenting this case, I'll give you information on how

120
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 6>to contact Clark, just in case you might have information,

121
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.240
<v Speaker 6>or if you frequent Walker's Point Bars and Third Ward

122
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 6>Gay bars in Wisconsin, or even if maybe you knew

123
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 6>the victim. Clark is hoping to speak with you, and

124
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.600
<v Speaker 6>believe it or not, several have reached out to me

125
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 6>before about being friends with other victims of cases that

126
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 6>I've covered, So hopefully this episode will reach some listeners

127
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.160
<v Speaker 6>who might have knowledge of this victim. Now, let me

128
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 6>tell you a bit about Eric Hanson. He was born

129
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 6>December twenty third, nineteen sixty four and Saint Francis, Wisconsin.

130
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 6>This would make him a capricorn. Eric was a cute kid. However,

131
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:44.639
<v Speaker 6>growing up he was what was considered a troubled youth.

132
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 6>He was the child of divorce, He occasionally ran away,

133
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:54.279
<v Speaker 6>he was emotionally flawed, and he didn't have very many friends.

134
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 6>In high school, he was alienated by his fellow classmates

135
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.120
<v Speaker 6>and he became a dropout. The final time Eric left home,

136
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.480
<v Speaker 6>he told his mother he was moving to Indiana, although

137
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.799
<v Speaker 6>it appears Eric never even left Wisconsin. His last known

138
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.639
<v Speaker 6>whereabouts was living with a fifty year old gay man

139
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.639
<v Speaker 6>in or near Milwaukee. At the age of eighteen. Eric

140
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:25.559
<v Speaker 6>was pretty well known in the Milwaukee LGBTQ community. He

141
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.840
<v Speaker 6>was a sex worker, most likely because it was for survival.

142
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.679
<v Speaker 6>Some reports say that Eric was last seen outside an

143
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:39.960
<v Speaker 6>adult bookstore. The bookstore was called Paradise Books in Milwaukee's

144
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 6>historic Third Ward. Another report says a witness saw him

145
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.480
<v Speaker 6>around three am in the morning standing at a bus

146
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:53.039
<v Speaker 6>stop in Milwaukee. These sightings, whichever was most correct, were

147
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:58.639
<v Speaker 6>on September twenty seventh, nineteen eighty three. On October fourth,

148
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 6>nineteen eighty three, a hiker was out and about on

149
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 6>a trail in Petrifying Springs County Park in summers. This

150
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 6>is located in Kenosha County. The hiker came upon a

151
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 6>black plastic trash bag. Inside the bag was a human Torso.

152
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 6>I don't know, you guys. I have to give it

153
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.320
<v Speaker 6>up to the people who actually find trash bags lying

154
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.840
<v Speaker 6>around a hiking trail and they have the nerve to

155
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 6>look inside it. I personally have seen abandoned suitcases on

156
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.639
<v Speaker 6>my hiking trails of my local park woods and I

157
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.320
<v Speaker 6>refuse to look inside, which is probably bad of me

158
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.519
<v Speaker 6>to admit. However, in my defense, I think I might

159
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 6>faint if I found a body or body parts in

160
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 6>one of those suitcases or a plastic trash bag. I

161
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.679
<v Speaker 6>was curious how the medical examiner was able to identify

162
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 6>the found torso. How they were able to figure out

163
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 6>it was Eric. It would seem Eric had a concave chest,

164
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 6>which was a congenital deformity. When they compared the torso

165
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 6>to Eric's medical records, they were able to positively identify

166
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:14.000
<v Speaker 6>the torso as belonging to Eric. But they were only

167
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:19.039
<v Speaker 6>able to facilitate the identification after Eric's mother reported a

168
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:23.480
<v Speaker 6>missing and that was on October sixth of nineteen eighty three.

169
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.639
<v Speaker 6>Before that, the torso was listed as a John Doe,

170
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.039
<v Speaker 6>belonging to a male victim between the ages of sixteen

171
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 6>and thirty six years old. Initially, the police investigated Eric's

172
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 6>case as a gay bashing gone horribly wrong, but further

173
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:45.519
<v Speaker 6>into the investigation, detectives began looking into the possibility that

174
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:51.120
<v Speaker 6>Eric might have been murdered and dismembered by a serial killer. First,

175
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:55.039
<v Speaker 6>they looked into Jeffrey Dahmer. After all, he was known

176
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:58.919
<v Speaker 6>as the Milwaukee Monster and he operated in the area

177
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 6>between nineteen six seventy eight and nineteen ninety one. Dahmer

178
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.279
<v Speaker 6>was a known cannibal who liked to dismember his victims.

179
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 6>They looked at a killer named Joachim Dressler, who murdered

180
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.799
<v Speaker 6>in the Raccene, Wisconsin area, but he didn't activate his

181
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 6>murder until nineteen ninety. I might cover Joachim on a

182
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:23.399
<v Speaker 6>future episode, because even though it seems he only had

183
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:28.519
<v Speaker 6>one victim, he was still very brutal about his killing. Finally,

184
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:32.600
<v Speaker 6>they looked at serial killer Larry Isler. I covered Larry

185
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:37.559
<v Speaker 6>season twelve, episode six, and actually Eyler looked and still

186
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:40.039
<v Speaker 6>may look like a good candidate to be the one

187
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:44.039
<v Speaker 6>who murdered Eric. When I covered Larry Eler, I might

188
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.679
<v Speaker 6>have even mentioned Eric as one of his victims, but

189
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.759
<v Speaker 6>I would have identified him as a sixteen year old,

190
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:55.000
<v Speaker 6>which I'm finding wasn't the case. Eric was actually eighteen

191
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.559
<v Speaker 6>years old, and there were an awful lot of erroneous

192
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:03.559
<v Speaker 6>resources about it Eric that reported him as sixteen. Now.

193
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 6>Larry Eyler was active between nineteen eighty two and nineteen

194
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:13.399
<v Speaker 6>eighty four. He operated in four states, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois,

195
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.480
<v Speaker 6>and Kentucky. Larry admitted to murdering and disposing of twenty

196
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.799
<v Speaker 6>one victims, to which most all of the bodies have

197
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:26.840
<v Speaker 6>been located. He only dismembered one of his victims, his

198
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.879
<v Speaker 6>last one, and he disposed of the remains in garbage bags.

199
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:36.440
<v Speaker 6>To my knowledge, it is, however, entirely possible that Larry

200
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:40.200
<v Speaker 6>killed more than twenty one victims, and it's possible he

201
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:44.440
<v Speaker 6>dismembered more than one. But to be honest, it might

202
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:46.879
<v Speaker 6>not have been a serial killer at all that took

203
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:51.559
<v Speaker 6>Eric's life, although Eric, being who he was, was vulnerable.

204
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 6>Even though there isn't a ton of information about Eric,

205
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.360
<v Speaker 6>it's important to put this case out there es actually

206
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:04.399
<v Speaker 6>if someone has some information regarding it. So if you

207
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:08.159
<v Speaker 6>might have known Eric or frequented gay bars in Milwaukee,

208
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.639
<v Speaker 6>or you have any information about what happened to him

209
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:17.240
<v Speaker 6>at all, please contact Clark Williams. His email is Clark

210
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 6>Williams at hotmail dot com, or you can text him

211
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.159
<v Speaker 6>at area code four oh eight eight two nine three

212
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:34.120
<v Speaker 6>seven five. Clark promises confidentiality. These cases involving such young

213
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:38.399
<v Speaker 6>victims make me very sad, especially if the young victim

214
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.080
<v Speaker 6>doesn't seem like they had a very good life to

215
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.639
<v Speaker 6>begin with. Rest in power, Eric, and I hope the

216
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:49.960
<v Speaker 6>rest of you will be found someday. Our true crime

217
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.720
<v Speaker 6>Quickie is from the British Columbia area of Canada in

218
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 6>twenty fourteen. Demetrio's Cara Halios, which sounds like a great

219
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.080
<v Speaker 6>the great Greek name to me. Also went by Jimmy

220
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.519
<v Speaker 6>and his drag name of Cocoa. Yes, Jimmy was a

221
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:12.080
<v Speaker 6>drag queen in Canada. He was born in Montreal, Quebec,

222
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:16.279
<v Speaker 6>and he later moved to Saskatchewan in nineteen eighty two.

223
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.559
<v Speaker 6>Then he later moved to Alberta. He was a cook

224
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 6>at Woody's Video Bar in Buddy's Nightclub. Those who knew

225
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.679
<v Speaker 6>Jimmy said he was kind, funny, had a great laugh,

226
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.399
<v Speaker 6>and was a good hearted man who loved to help people.

227
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 6>Jimmy had a passion for cooking and he loved to

228
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:40.440
<v Speaker 6>try out new recipes. He loved his family and his

229
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:46.120
<v Speaker 6>friends immensely. Jimmy was a super friendly guy. He made

230
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.679
<v Speaker 6>others feel very welcomed around him. He met and was

231
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.519
<v Speaker 6>acquainted with a man named Richard Joseph Lecart who went

232
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 6>by Joe. Joe was a drifter, but he would often

233
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.000
<v Speaker 6>stop in at the establishments that Jimmy worked at. Joe

234
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.080
<v Speaker 6>went there to play billiards or to see karaoke. Joe

235
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.840
<v Speaker 6>also frequented the same nightclubs and bars where Jimmy went

236
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:15.279
<v Speaker 6>to socialize, so their paths crossed, and it sounds like

237
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:21.159
<v Speaker 6>quite often. On March eighth, twenty fourteen, Jimmy didn't show

238
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:25.000
<v Speaker 6>up for work. His employer and work friends were worried

239
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:28.440
<v Speaker 6>about him because it just wasn't like Jimmy to miss

240
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 6>his shift. So a few of them went to check

241
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.279
<v Speaker 6>on Jimmy at his home in Oliver and I don't

242
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:38.720
<v Speaker 6>believe it was too far away from his workplaces. Once

243
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:42.519
<v Speaker 6>at Jimmy's home, the friends gained entrance and they found

244
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:46.799
<v Speaker 6>Jimmy dead. They've described the scene as gory, but no

245
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.679
<v Speaker 6>details of how Jimmy died was ever released. In Canada,

246
00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:56.360
<v Speaker 6>while guns were highly regulated in twenty fourteen, they weren't

247
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:01.679
<v Speaker 6>illegal until twenty twenty. But because of the regulations about guns,

248
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.519
<v Speaker 6>I kind of believed that Jimmy might have been stabbed

249
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 6>to death, particularly since the friends described the scene as cory.

250
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:15.039
<v Speaker 6>Police and even LGBTQ advocates stated that there was nothing

251
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.240
<v Speaker 6>that led them to believe Jimmy's murder was a hate crime.

252
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.920
<v Speaker 6>A suspect was named in Jimmy's death the following year.

253
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Speaker 6>It was Joe, but by now Joe was in the

254
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.839
<v Speaker 6>wind and the Royal Canadian Mounted police, they weren't able

255
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:36.000
<v Speaker 6>to locate them. Six years later, in February of twenty twenty,

256
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.680
<v Speaker 6>right when the COVID lockdowns had started vigorously throughout the world,

257
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.480
<v Speaker 6>an abundance of calls from vehicle drivers began to flood

258
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:50.359
<v Speaker 6>the Maple Ridge Police in Vancouver. The drivers were complaining

259
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:54.160
<v Speaker 6>as they went under the Golden Ears Bridge. Some crazy

260
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:57.039
<v Speaker 6>man was throwing rocks and other items at them as

261
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:01.920
<v Speaker 6>they drove by. When the officers were the stone throwing man,

262
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:07.160
<v Speaker 6>he ran into the oncoming traffic. An officer ran across

263
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.640
<v Speaker 6>three lanes to tackle the man and drag him to safety.

264
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.599
<v Speaker 6>Guess who the man was. Yep, the man was Joe,

265
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:20.000
<v Speaker 6>and he was arrested for mischief. Upon his booking at

266
00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.559
<v Speaker 6>the police department, the police realized they had a murder

267
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:28.599
<v Speaker 6>suspect on their hands. They transported Joe back to Edmonton,

268
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:32.519
<v Speaker 6>where the crime had taken place. Joe was charged with

269
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.960
<v Speaker 6>the second degree murder of Jimmy now Here's a kicker.

270
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:40.920
<v Speaker 6>It's been a little over six years since Joe was arrested,

271
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.559
<v Speaker 6>but there is no public record of a completed trial

272
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.920
<v Speaker 6>or a final sentencing for him. It would seem that

273
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 6>there have been some heavy delays in his case. Maybe

274
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.440
<v Speaker 6>some of them are for mental competency, and if he

275
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.839
<v Speaker 6>was found incompetent for trial, that would explain a lot

276
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:03.839
<v Speaker 6>of the delay. Otherwise, I just can't see why it

277
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:06.359
<v Speaker 6>would have taken this long to get them to trial.

278
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.400
<v Speaker 6>It's been twelve years since Jimmy was murdered, and sometimes

279
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:16.480
<v Speaker 6>justice is just so damn slow. If someone is a

280
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:19.960
<v Speaker 6>good and kind hearted person, I just don't understand how

281
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.000
<v Speaker 6>another person can take their life. It truly boggles my mind.

282
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.880
<v Speaker 6>I feel Jimmy's murder must have been a crime of

283
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:34.640
<v Speaker 6>opportunity of some sorts for Joe, rest in power, Jimmy Okay,

284
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.559
<v Speaker 6>looking for some good news in sunshine. This week, the

285
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:43.720
<v Speaker 6>seventy nine Tony Award nominations are showcasing queer excellence, with

286
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:46.319
<v Speaker 6>at least two of the nominees being part of the

287
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:53.079
<v Speaker 6>LGBTQ community. Both actors Luke Evans and Stephanie Schu are

288
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:57.079
<v Speaker 6>openly out and they're being honored for their outstanding work.

289
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:05.079
<v Speaker 6>Bravo guys. Colorado is advancing new legislation to combat conversion therapy.

290
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:08.880
<v Speaker 6>You know what's funny is I'll see an article about

291
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:13.079
<v Speaker 6>conversion therapy, and I'll think, holy shit, how can that

292
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:17.359
<v Speaker 6>still be going on anywhere? Maybe in a third world,

293
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.799
<v Speaker 6>a press country, but here in the US, in this

294
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:25.400
<v Speaker 6>day and age, Hello Cavemn. It just makes no sense.

295
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 6>And lastly, supermodel Alex Cansoni was named the first transgender

296
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.759
<v Speaker 6>woman to serve on the met Gala host committee. Right on, Alex,

297
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.279
<v Speaker 6>So that means it must be time for some jokes.

298
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:48.039
<v Speaker 6>What do you call lesbian whose fingernails are way too long? Single?

299
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:52.319
<v Speaker 6>How many asexuals does it take to screw in a

300
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.519
<v Speaker 6>light bulb? None? They'd rather sit in the dark than

301
00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:01.759
<v Speaker 6>screw anything. If you're gay and born under the sign Aquarius,

302
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:08.000
<v Speaker 6>wouldn't you really be an Aquarius? What's the difference between

303
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:14.599
<v Speaker 6>a straight woman and a bisexual woman? Exactly? Four alcoholic drinks?

304
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.960
<v Speaker 6>Why is a rainbow so sassy because it has all

305
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.799
<v Speaker 6>the shades? What do you call a group of gay cows?

306
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:30.240
<v Speaker 6>A moment? And my last one? What is a bisexual's

307
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.799
<v Speaker 6>favorite movie? The Fast and the Curious?

308
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:35.720
<v Speaker 5>I'll be here all week.

309
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:41.119
<v Speaker 6>I love you guys, You matter so much. Remember it's

310
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.039
<v Speaker 6>not a crime to be gay or to live your truth,

311
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:46.000
<v Speaker 6>unless you're a murderer.
