<v Speaker 4>How are you doing?

32
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Man, doing well? Thanks for hosting me.

33
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Man, I'm excited to have you back on. We're

34
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 4>continuing our series The New Case. I look, this whole

35
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 4>series has been grim, this episode particularly even more so

36
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 4>so of course, you know, fewer discretion advised, maybe not

37
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 4>one to include the kids on. But I'll throw it

38
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 4>to you, Thoms.

39
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this, this fact pattern is particularly horrific. And this

40
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 3>really disgusting. But and I'm not I didn't select it

41
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:31.599
<v Speaker 3>as an important aspect of the series to be worried

42
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:36.319
<v Speaker 3>or as quick bait because it's a gross case. It's

43
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 3>it was, it's a case in point the case and

44
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 3>point I'd argue whether than there were Mira's case of

45
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 3>occultism in the zeitgeist in the public mind informing truly

46
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:56.719
<v Speaker 3>evil behavior, and the Ripper Crew, as they came to

47
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 3>be known. This was four men doing this and without

48
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 3>naming any names. There's people who insist that not only

49
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 3>is there no such thing as a cult crime, but

50
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 3>there's no such thing as ritual cult activity involving multiple offenders. Well,

51
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 3>this is a splendid rebuttal to that little assertion, and

52
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 3>it also exemplifies how violent things were. And that's one

53
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 3>of the reasons why outside Chicago this didn't really get play.

54
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 3>And even in Chicago, this happened at the same These

55
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.039
<v Speaker 3>murders were happening at the same time as the Tail

56
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.840
<v Speaker 3>and Old poisoning, which was a national story, and that

57
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 3>caused genuine panic here on the ground in Shoe Town.

58
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 3>And then when these sick animals went on trial it

59
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 3>was the able Archer era. People were terrified of how

60
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 3>that was going to shake out, you know, with Cold

61
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 3>War tensions reaching critical mass and scene since ninety's seventy

62
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 3>three and adding to the bizarre lore. I've heard conflicting

63
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 3>reports on this, but a deep dived into this and

64
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 3>apparently it's true according to WLS, which was the primary

65
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 3>investigative of a legacy media brand here on the ground.

66
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 3>Robin get who was the leader of the Ripper Crew

67
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 3>when he was a teenager, he apparently worked for John

68
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 3>Wayne Gacy and Get was he was married to a woman,

69
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.000
<v Speaker 3>but he was he was bisexual and he hung around

70
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:38.720
<v Speaker 3>with gay people.

71
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 4>So question about working with Gaysey. Was that involved in

72
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 4>kind of the I guess like Chicago Democrat leadership role

73
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 4>that he was in, or as like a franchise owner.

74
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 3>No, he worked for Gaysey when he was a teenager,

75
00:04:55.439 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 3>just for his like painting and construction company because ghekt

76
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:05.279
<v Speaker 3>was a carpenter and he was he was the kind

77
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.319
<v Speaker 3>of guy that Gacy preferred. I mean one of the

78
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.319
<v Speaker 3>things that's the bizarre o Ghektes. He had this incredible

79
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 3>ability to control people. But he was this tiny little guy.

80
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 3>He was like five foot and noth then really skinny.

81
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 3>He's what'd be called a twink these days. Okay, he

82
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 3>was kind of this he was almost like pre you know,

83
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 3>he's like this a feminine guy. So this idea that

84
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 3>he could intimidate these you know, and the Corealis brothers

85
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 3>who were sort of the muscle of the Ripper Crew.

86
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker 3>There were these They were these Greek tough guys from

87
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 3>the northwest side. The idea Get could intimidate people into

88
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.680
<v Speaker 3>doing things by his physicality is ridiculous. You know, He's

89
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.360
<v Speaker 3>the kind of guy that the co Corielis brothers could

90
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:52.360
<v Speaker 3>have broken half. You know. The way he could dominate

91
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 3>people suggest something really sinister and bizarre. I'm not saying

92
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 3>anything super natural, but there's something there. But he yeah,

93
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:07.279
<v Speaker 3>I but I mean the people these days when true

94
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:11.199
<v Speaker 3>crime fanatics come across some of these content creators, especially

95
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 3>younger people. This isn't some slam on young people, but

96
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 3>they think it's this insane cosmic coincidence that get apparently

97
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 3>across pads with gay Zy. It's not though it test

98
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 3>them into the fact that this this kind of thing

99
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 3>was common, which is horrifying.

100
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.360
<v Speaker 4>But that's well, and not to spin this off into

101
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 4>its own direction. But obviously, the the sort of rumors

102
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 4>and allegations around Gaysey that he was not a loan operator,

103
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, given the there's a whole number of suspicious

104
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 4>things about that.

105
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 3>You know, the.

106
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.879
<v Speaker 4>Dozens of different keys to his house, the connections to

107
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 4>kind of a you know, a snuff film ring discussion

108
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:58.079
<v Speaker 4>for another day, But critics have made, uh made allegations

109
00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.120
<v Speaker 4>on that, I'll put it that way.

110
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, And I it seems to imagine, especially if

111
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 3>Gek was involved sexually with gay Sy. It's I realized this.

112
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 3>It's a pure speculation. It seems to imagine gay Sy

113
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 3>sort of initiating him into this sort of statistic stuff.

114
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Albeit you know, Ghek's victim profile was women, but it Yeah,

115
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.160
<v Speaker 3>I definitely think it's it's more it's a case. It

116
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.480
<v Speaker 3>goes beyond whether it smoke, there's fire. I think there's

117
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 3>real there's real evidence that Gaysey had accomplices, and I

118
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.720
<v Speaker 3>I think that can't be denied. But serious people anymore.

119
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.560
<v Speaker 3>But basically, the way the Ripper Crew came of the

120
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:53.360
<v Speaker 3>attention of law enforcement, this woman's body was discovered in

121
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Villa Park. Villa Park is a West suburb and especially

122
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 3>in those is there was a strip of notel motels

123
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.279
<v Speaker 3>where you could cop dope, where you know, you could

124
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.160
<v Speaker 3>take prostitutes, but there was a lot of just grimy

125
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 3>kind of vice activity. Bensonville is kind of like that

126
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.600
<v Speaker 3>today by the airport, so not serious crying, but a

127
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.639
<v Speaker 3>lot of advice, a lot of drugs and dope stuff

128
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 3>they caught. The strip was called by street people's the

129
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.920
<v Speaker 3>Gods a strip. But this woman's body was found behind

130
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 3>one of these motels. It's still it was then it

131
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 3>was called the moon Lit Motel. It's it's been branded

132
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:44.960
<v Speaker 3>something different now. But at first glance it appeared as

133
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.559
<v Speaker 3>if this woman had been dead for some time because

134
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 3>the body was heavily decomposed. She was a prostitute named

135
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:59.320
<v Speaker 3>wind Of Sutton from the West Side, which was odd

136
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 3>that she'd end up that far. Villa Park's not super

137
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 3>far from the West Side proper, but it's not a

138
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 3>place of prostitute which just traveled as service in John

139
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.799
<v Speaker 3>you know. And her name was Linda Sutton. She still

140
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.320
<v Speaker 3>had her cash in her socks, so she hadn't been robbed.

141
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 3>The coroner, owing to very diligent examination and a strong

142
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.399
<v Speaker 3>base of knowledge, he realized this woman hadn't been dead

143
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.320
<v Speaker 3>for a long time. She'd only been dead for two

144
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 3>or three days. What had happened to her? And then

145
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:43.320
<v Speaker 3>again this is very grotesque. Her breast had been totally severed,

146
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:51.639
<v Speaker 3>and owing to that, insects and various microbes and parasites

147
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 3>were able to invade the corpse and deteriorate the remains rapidly,

148
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:07.240
<v Speaker 3>so at first the police and again in Villa Park.

149
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 3>They probably get one or two homicides a year even

150
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.200
<v Speaker 3>back then, and it was in the form of bar

151
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 3>fights or some sort of domestic dispute that turns into

152
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 3>a murder. These kinds of random homicides didn't really happen,

153
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 3>certainly not dead hookers, where you know, body parts are

154
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:37.919
<v Speaker 3>removed as a trophy, fetish object, and that's kind of

155
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:46.240
<v Speaker 3>This was kind of forgotten about until several months later

156
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:54.039
<v Speaker 3>in the fall of nineteen eighty two. October, a woman

157
00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 3>named Denise Gardner, she got snatched up by a guy

158
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:11.799
<v Speaker 3>in a red van and she was she survived the attack.

159
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:19.440
<v Speaker 3>And what she relayed was a red van had approached

160
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:24.159
<v Speaker 3>her on West North Avenue, which was her regular stroll,

161
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.480
<v Speaker 3>and she said, a little white guy who was at

162
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 3>the wheel, you know, and he he solicited the act

163
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:35.639
<v Speaker 3>he wanted and she gave him the price. He paid her.

164
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:42.200
<v Speaker 3>He said, get in. She got into the van. It

165
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 3>was a carpenter's van and it had a partition and

166
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:51.200
<v Speaker 3>she had the wherewithal to remember odd details about it.

167
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.840
<v Speaker 3>There's been a roach clip hanging from two blue feathers

168
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:58.279
<v Speaker 3>from the rear view, and this becomes significant how the

169
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:02.000
<v Speaker 3>van was identified. He said something of the effect of,

170
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 3>you know, fex yourself a drank, or why don't you

171
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 3>get in the back and get comfortable, and I'll be

172
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:10.360
<v Speaker 3>there in a minute. When I park. She went in

173
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:16.360
<v Speaker 3>the back, the guy pulled a gun, started pistel whipping her.

174
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 3>Then he forth pills down her throat and she passed out.

175
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.559
<v Speaker 3>You know, she was fading out. He continued to piss

176
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:31.600
<v Speaker 3>the whipper. She woke up in an alleyway, only a

177
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:38.600
<v Speaker 3>few bucks from the stroll and uh, she'd been savagely

178
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:47.000
<v Speaker 3>assaulted and one of her breasts was removed. Okay, somebody

179
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.879
<v Speaker 3>found her before she bled out. It was a streets

180
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:58.639
<v Speaker 3>and Sanitation guy who called it in and she identified

181
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:07.960
<v Speaker 3>uh to the police from her hospital bed. You know,

182
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.799
<v Speaker 3>the man who's ultimately identified as Robin Get Okay, and uh,

183
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.480
<v Speaker 3>she said it was a seventy six or seventy seven

184
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 3>or seventy eight van. Hookers get to know cars real well.

185
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 3>He s they did in those days because they're constant

186
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:27.120
<v Speaker 3>getting in and out of them, and if something seems

187
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 3>suss or scary to him, they like hit other females

188
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.919
<v Speaker 3>on that hustle. Hey watch out for like the seventy

189
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:40.759
<v Speaker 3>nine you know corvetor or whatever, which is an interesting factoid.

190
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.440
<v Speaker 3>But that's how she was able to make the man.

191
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.679
<v Speaker 3>You know, she described get physically. You know, she described

192
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 3>the roach clip, all of that. So a few weeks later,

193
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:57.039
<v Speaker 3>on October twentieth, why'd you between these two murders or

194
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.320
<v Speaker 3>between this one assault and this murder and bill apart

195
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:04.320
<v Speaker 3>like no connect himp in media. But these two Chicago

196
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:08.720
<v Speaker 3>police they were on Lake Short Drive and they come

197
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 3>across as a red van and I think it was

198
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.240
<v Speaker 3>the There were past and the red van got off

199
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker 3>the drive. They followed it to Central Avenue, and uh,

200
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.080
<v Speaker 3>they realized it was an apb out for a red

201
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:31.039
<v Speaker 3>or dark orange van with a partition and with the

202
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, a roche clib with blue feathers. So they

203
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:38.159
<v Speaker 3>pull up next to it, they see the feathers. They

204
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 3>pull a van over, pull a driver out, and there's

205
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.039
<v Speaker 3>a guy there driving and who doesn't fit the description

206
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 3>at all that Denise Gardner gave. It was some guy

207
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.440
<v Speaker 3>who they was, you know, probably his late teens, with goofy,

208
00:14:54.519 --> 00:15:01.919
<v Speaker 3>wild red hair, and h is idea indicated his name

209
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.960
<v Speaker 3>was Eddie Sprecher. And when the police says, this is

210
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:07.799
<v Speaker 3>your van, he said, no, it's my boss. It's van.

211
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.960
<v Speaker 3>So these two police say, well, who's your boss. He says, oh,

212
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:19.240
<v Speaker 3>my boss is Robin get So. The police say, well,

213
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:20.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, you know you're gonna take us to Robin

214
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:25.960
<v Speaker 3>get So he takes him to this house on a

215
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:32.399
<v Speaker 3>north winder, the three thousand a north winder and uh,

216
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:38.279
<v Speaker 3>when they get there, they have Eddie knock on the door.

217
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Get comes out. He fits the description to a t

218
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 3>that Denise Gardener he gave him. The cops say, you

219
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:53.000
<v Speaker 3>know your your van was or a van fitting this

220
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:57.559
<v Speaker 3>description was implicated in a very serious crime. I Get

221
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:02.600
<v Speaker 3>apparently was tobably lack a daizagle about it. He comes

222
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:09.440
<v Speaker 3>to the police station and uh, the police's first impression

223
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.960
<v Speaker 3>was this guy's probably just a freak who likes to

224
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.600
<v Speaker 3>hurd hookers. And it just got a little bit out

225
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:24.559
<v Speaker 3>of hand with the niece Gardner. But as they talked

226
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:30.759
<v Speaker 3>of Spritzer, it became clear that Spreeiser was terrified and

227
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Obviously that didn't seem normal, and it's why why would

228
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:36.159
<v Speaker 3>you be terrified of this little feminine guy if you

229
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 3>even accuse your boss or whatever. As time went on,

230
00:16:51.480 --> 00:17:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Spritzer said that he wanted to confess, and the police said,

231
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:09.039
<v Speaker 3>confess to what You're not suspected of anything, And Spiders said, well,

232
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.720
<v Speaker 3>we killed a girl, and we killed a black girl

233
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:17.400
<v Speaker 3>and dunked her, and uh, Villa Park, we killed an

234
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Asian girl out in the West Suburbs too. We killed

235
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.799
<v Speaker 3>some rich lady that we grabbed off Rush Street. He

236
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.319
<v Speaker 3>confessed to almost twenty homicides. You and the police are

237
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.720
<v Speaker 3>just aghast. So they start looking for a you know,

238
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:39.240
<v Speaker 3>trying to match this these these claims to see if

239
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:41.000
<v Speaker 3>they're a loser you're not, and see if there's any

240
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:46.680
<v Speaker 3>fact patterns in Chicago and Greater Chicago and that matched

241
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:50.519
<v Speaker 3>these claims, and of course, what you know, this this

242
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Villa Park murder comes up immediately with the dismembered breast,

243
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:06.559
<v Speaker 3>and uh, they realize they they they have, they have

244
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.839
<v Speaker 3>they probably have two serial killers on their hands. But

245
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:15.599
<v Speaker 3>then it gets even more bizarre because this is Area

246
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:22.640
<v Speaker 3>five homicide. There used to be six police areas now

247
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 3>there's only five and uh, they've been reconfigured a bit,

248
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.920
<v Speaker 3>but there's not there's not a homicide division of Chicago PD.

249
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:35.920
<v Speaker 3>There's a duro of detectives. They're basically the major crimes unit,

250
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:43.880
<v Speaker 3>and they get homicides. And area five is northwest and uh,

251
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.279
<v Speaker 3>that's that's not that's not a hood area. But it's

252
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:54.599
<v Speaker 3>a prestige posting. And especially in those days, you get

253
00:18:54.599 --> 00:19:01.079
<v Speaker 3>a pretty high caliber of guys on that detail. Okay,

254
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.640
<v Speaker 3>but even they it was unfathomble of them that that

255
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:10.400
<v Speaker 3>there'd be more than two guys doing this together. But

256
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:13.759
<v Speaker 3>so they just said, but still the police have this idea.

257
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.160
<v Speaker 3>Let's take Eddie sprites Or and put in the room.

258
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 3>Put him in the room with Robin ghet and let's

259
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.599
<v Speaker 3>see how Let's let's see if they go at each other.

260
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.559
<v Speaker 3>Let's see if they try and blame each other. Let's

261
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 3>see what Ghekt if he if he starts confessing after

262
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:31.440
<v Speaker 3>we say that Spritzers made him for you know, eighteen

263
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:35.279
<v Speaker 3>murders or whatever, so he claims. So they take Spritzer

264
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:38.720
<v Speaker 3>in there and they said Ghek just looked at him calmly,

265
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:44.480
<v Speaker 3>and they said Spritzer started visibly shaking, and one of

266
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.240
<v Speaker 3>the detectives says, you know, tell tell your pell Robin,

267
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:51.880
<v Speaker 3>what what you just told us? And Spritzer says, rob

268
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.519
<v Speaker 3>and I told them about all the girls, and Get

269
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.480
<v Speaker 3>just said, I have no idea what you're talking about.

270
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.319
<v Speaker 3>You know, no anger, no visible. He wasn't visible. We shook,

271
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:08.119
<v Speaker 3>nothing like that. So then when they takes Spritzer back

272
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:13.640
<v Speaker 3>to his his own interrogation room, Spritzer says, you know what,

273
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.720
<v Speaker 3>you know what I lied? I lied? Robin wasn't there.

274
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:23.160
<v Speaker 3>I did these homicides with with Andy kak Coriolis, as

275
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.880
<v Speaker 3>the police say, like, who the fuck is Andy kok Corialis. Well,

276
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:32.440
<v Speaker 3>as it turns out, Andy kok Corialis was another employee

277
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:36.400
<v Speaker 3>of Robin Gets, although when they asked him at first,

278
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:38.680
<v Speaker 3>Gex said he was just this kid that he knew

279
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:44.440
<v Speaker 3>who used to be as a neighbor. Coo. Coriolis was

280
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:52.720
<v Speaker 3>a villa park guy, which uh accounts for the connection

281
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:55.759
<v Speaker 3>of the moonlit motel. I mean, Robin Get was familiar

282
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.559
<v Speaker 3>with the West suburbs too, but that was the core

283
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:02.880
<v Speaker 3>ell his brother's stomping ground. Their dad was a Greek immigrant.

284
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:07.559
<v Speaker 3>The mother died years ago. I think Andy kok Corialis

285
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.599
<v Speaker 3>was nineteen at the time. He had a brother, Tommy,

286
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:17.200
<v Speaker 3>who later became implicated. So now Spreutzer, and to be

287
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:22.039
<v Speaker 3>clear to you, Spreutzer was probably half retarded. He probably

288
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:23.680
<v Speaker 3>was one of these people we probably had like a

289
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:31.119
<v Speaker 3>seventy IQ or something. Okay, And so he starts rambling

290
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.839
<v Speaker 3>trying to you know, see, he starts telling all kinds

291
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:38.680
<v Speaker 3>of different stories, all of which now seemed to remove

292
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Get from the narrative out of apparent fear of Get,

293
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.119
<v Speaker 3>which the detectives again didn't understand because Gekt was this

294
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.559
<v Speaker 3>sort of effeminatee little weasel. But they go see Andy

295
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:58.359
<v Speaker 3>kok Corialis at his father's house. They identify themselves, you know,

296
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:02.519
<v Speaker 3>as police. This is Chicago p he Villa Park wanted

297
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:06.119
<v Speaker 3>a piece of him two but obviously Chicagwood priority because

298
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.960
<v Speaker 3>they had a far larger file and they have the

299
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.000
<v Speaker 3>allegations are far more numerous. He was only good for

300
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:20.559
<v Speaker 3>the one homicide potentially in Nolla Park. But the Corey

301
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:26.680
<v Speaker 3>Elis They get him in an interrogation room and uh

302
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:34.519
<v Speaker 3>he uh he comes cleaning uh essentially immediately, you know,

303
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:36.599
<v Speaker 3>they say, you know, you have any idea why you're here,

304
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.920
<v Speaker 3>And he's like, yeah, uh, it's thing to say, Okay,

305
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:44.359
<v Speaker 3>why why do you think you're here? You know? And

306
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.240
<v Speaker 3>he said, uh, I've been I've been murdering women with

307
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:54.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, Robin and Spritzer for months, and I dream

308
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:57.000
<v Speaker 3>about every night and I know I'm going to go

309
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:05.440
<v Speaker 3>to hell. Corielis also made Gek for blowing away to

310
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:11.599
<v Speaker 3>random guys and Rigivo, who apparently he had no connection

311
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.920
<v Speaker 3>due but Gek always went around strapped. He had a

312
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.519
<v Speaker 3>rifle like I think it was a Mini fourteen or

313
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:25.799
<v Speaker 3>something kind of some kind of clinking rifle, and a

314
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:29.599
<v Speaker 3>h and a handgun of some sort with him and uh,

315
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:35.599
<v Speaker 3>Coriolis And this is apparently true because this you know, this,

316
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:38.720
<v Speaker 3>this this murder had been assumed it would be a

317
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:44.039
<v Speaker 3>some sort of gangster related ship, but it went unsolved.

318
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:47.039
<v Speaker 3>There's these two guys at a payphone. I think they

319
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:49.759
<v Speaker 3>I think they were lad In Kings and apparently Gek

320
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:56.039
<v Speaker 3>just spontaneously blasted at him. The one guy survived with

321
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.240
<v Speaker 3>brain damage was paralyzed. The other guy died at the scene.

322
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:04.960
<v Speaker 3>But just give an idea of how bizarre get Wise

323
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.519
<v Speaker 3>and how violent he was. I it speculated he probably

324
00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:13.960
<v Speaker 3>in addition to these horrible, horrible sex crimes murders, he

325
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:17.160
<v Speaker 3>probably want a lot of other people too, just for

326
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.720
<v Speaker 3>the hell of it, or or a test, you know

327
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:21.680
<v Speaker 3>who he was with to see if you know, they

328
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:24.759
<v Speaker 3>they had the stomach probably wanted to do. I mean,

329
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:33.200
<v Speaker 3>who knows, but they they started asking that Coreel was

330
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:39.680
<v Speaker 3>about these fact patterns they've been related to them by Spritzer.

331
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Despite Spritzer's lack of overall lucidity, he described discrete victim

332
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:54.000
<v Speaker 3>profiles and women that they killed with very particular characteristics.

333
00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:57.599
<v Speaker 3>And it turns out that the even woman he was

334
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:01.599
<v Speaker 3>talking about was a woman named Schuie Mack and she

335
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:05.000
<v Speaker 3>had a fight with her brother. They both worked at

336
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:09.079
<v Speaker 3>their parents' restaurant and in a haff at a stop

337
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:12.200
<v Speaker 3>like she got out of the car and uh was

338
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.839
<v Speaker 3>walking down Irving Park Road and she had the horror

339
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:18.759
<v Speaker 3>of misfortune to be picked up by the ripper crew.

340
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.839
<v Speaker 3>And Corey Alis said, yeah, I grabbed her, I pulled

341
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:24.440
<v Speaker 3>her into the van. You know, he's like, I started

342
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:28.079
<v Speaker 3>punched her in the face to saidd her. He hit

343
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:32.559
<v Speaker 3>her so hard that when her body was found there

344
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:36.519
<v Speaker 3>was this bizarre horseshoe shaped fracture in the back of

345
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:41.079
<v Speaker 3>her head. They later figured out Corey Ali said hit

346
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:49.079
<v Speaker 3>her so hard her head hit the uh door hinge

347
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:53.279
<v Speaker 3>of the van from the inside and a crack of

348
00:25:53.400 --> 00:26:00.680
<v Speaker 3>stone and killed her. But uh, you know, it was

349
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:08.400
<v Speaker 3>clear that it was clear that he was uh probably

350
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:09.440
<v Speaker 3>telling the truth.

351
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:11.000
<v Speaker 1>And uh.

352
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.160
<v Speaker 3>The police said, okay, well, why why did you do

353
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.640
<v Speaker 3>these things? He said, well, for the for the purpose

354
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:25.559
<v Speaker 3>of ceremonies. And the police said, what what do you

355
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:30.680
<v Speaker 3>mean And he said, well, Gekt has power over me

356
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:34.400
<v Speaker 3>and he might have power over you too. Don't look

357
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:43.240
<v Speaker 3>him in the eyes. He's demonically possessed. The detective said, okay, whatever,

358
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:45.839
<v Speaker 3>what what do you mean by ceremonies? And this this

359
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:51.920
<v Speaker 3>is disgusting. I'm gonna warn you. Coriel is related to

360
00:26:52.000 --> 00:27:00.119
<v Speaker 3>that Ghak had a Satanic altar in his addict in

361
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:07.160
<v Speaker 3>his attic, and with the severed brass and other body parts,

362
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:14.319
<v Speaker 3>he'd perform a ritual over them, where he'd read Bible passages,

363
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 3>often backwards. He'd chant something in Latin. Then he'd ejaculate

364
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:33.200
<v Speaker 3>on the dismembered body part, cut it into pieces, and

365
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.839
<v Speaker 3>the ripper crew would then eat it. As a Satanic

366
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:46.640
<v Speaker 3>offering a Satanic communion, and the police weren't shocked because

367
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:54.240
<v Speaker 3>again these were Bureau detectives, veterans, but they'd never heard

368
00:27:54.279 --> 00:28:01.799
<v Speaker 3>of anything like this. And frankly, why would anybody make

369
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:06.240
<v Speaker 3>that up? I mean, this guy who's implicated himself and

370
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.559
<v Speaker 3>this serons was went on. I had the death penalty

371
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:14.160
<v Speaker 3>and Andy Coo Corielis eventually was executed. But even even

372
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.319
<v Speaker 3>somebody with the sickest of lord fantasies, I mean, why,

373
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:23.519
<v Speaker 3>why don't even occur to somebody? And this gets worse

374
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:29.559
<v Speaker 3>if you can believe that. They said, okay, give us

375
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:38.640
<v Speaker 3>something else to validate what you're telling us, and he said, okay, well,

376
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:48.640
<v Speaker 3>part of what we do before the ceremony is after

377
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:56.880
<v Speaker 3>we dismember the breast or create a stab wound, we

378
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:04.359
<v Speaker 3>have sexual intercourse with the wound. And the woman's body

379
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:10.440
<v Speaker 3>that was found in Villa Park there was seminal fluid

380
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:19.599
<v Speaker 3>present in the wound, and this befuddled investigators. I mean, this,

381
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:31.200
<v Speaker 3>this is beyond sick, you know, and apparently, I mean

382
00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:35.359
<v Speaker 3>obviously Andy core also was an animal and then and

383
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:40.240
<v Speaker 3>an evil, evil, evil savage, but he was raised in

384
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:44.720
<v Speaker 3>a tritional Greek household. He claimed to be ah to

385
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:49.759
<v Speaker 3>believe in God, he was traumatized by his own savagery

386
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:59.279
<v Speaker 3>and apparently at something of a guilty conscience. Okay, and finally,

387
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:12.839
<v Speaker 3>what what made this even more unbelievable is Eddie Spritzer.

388
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:18.279
<v Speaker 3>He continued to try and remove get from the scene

389
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:24.359
<v Speaker 3>and these rambling confessions that all seemed to contradict each other,

390
00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:29.160
<v Speaker 3>with the one common variable being that these are real

391
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:31.839
<v Speaker 3>victim profiles. He was describing of women who had been

392
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:37.279
<v Speaker 3>found murdered or were missing. He said, oh, and you know,

393
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Andy's brother Tommy helped out sometimes too. So the police

394
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:50.000
<v Speaker 3>go back to the CoA Corelis house where there this

395
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:54.160
<v Speaker 3>poor old Greek guy has just found out that his

396
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:57.839
<v Speaker 3>one son is confessing the Satanic murders, that his other

397
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:02.359
<v Speaker 3>son is being imple located. But at that time Tommy

398
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:07.319
<v Speaker 3>wasn't suspected of anything beyond what sprites Or had said,

399
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:10.720
<v Speaker 3>and the police weren't even confident that this was true.

400
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:16.119
<v Speaker 3>But essentially, the moment they asked Tommy to come talk

401
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:17.880
<v Speaker 3>to them, they made it clear not under arrest, but

402
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:21.559
<v Speaker 3>we got to clear this up. You know, Tommy confessed

403
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:30.799
<v Speaker 3>to participating and Tommy didn't he uh, he did thirty

404
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.279
<v Speaker 3>five years on a seventy year bit. He just got

405
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:36.519
<v Speaker 3>released a few years back. And a bunch of people

406
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:44.680
<v Speaker 3>protested that just uh apropos and nothing. I followed that

407
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.440
<v Speaker 3>kind of avidly in it. It was upsetting for this

408
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:51.559
<v Speaker 3>stuff to be I mean locally he brought up again.

409
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:53.720
<v Speaker 2>But the.

410
00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:03.839
<v Speaker 3>What Tommy confessed to out of the gate, there's this

411
00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:11.200
<v Speaker 3>poor girl named Lorraine Barowski and Elmhurst, which is well,

412
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:15.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's a working class suburb out west, but

413
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:19.039
<v Speaker 3>it's you know, it's a nice community. She was kidnapped

414
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:25.680
<v Speaker 3>and broad daylight outside of a Remax office where she worked,

415
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:30.319
<v Speaker 3>and her boss when he arrived at work that morning,

416
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:34.599
<v Speaker 3>she was nowhere to be found, which was totally unlike

417
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:36.799
<v Speaker 3>her because she'd never missed work, even showed up late.

418
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:41.200
<v Speaker 3>In the parking lot, there is contents of a woman's

419
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 3>purse and there's a flahead screwdriver, and this becomes relevant.

420
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:52.200
<v Speaker 3>It's as a piece of inculpatory evidence, and I'll explain

421
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:58.960
<v Speaker 3>that in a moment. And Lorraine had been missing for

422
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:03.319
<v Speaker 3>almost a year, and it was as if she disappeared

423
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:13.680
<v Speaker 3>into thin air. And Tommy said that they'd been passing by,

424
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:20.599
<v Speaker 3>and Lorraine was really beautiful, and she fit a profile

425
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:25.039
<v Speaker 3>of what Robin get De liked. She was petite, but

426
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:32.000
<v Speaker 3>kirby and busty and essentially gets it. I want her,

427
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:39.960
<v Speaker 3>so Tommy and sprites her, grabbed her, pulled her into

428
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:44.000
<v Speaker 3>the man. You know, they beat her, handcuffed her, bound her.

429
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:50.279
<v Speaker 3>That night, they took her, you know, they were holding

430
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:54.160
<v Speaker 3>her hostage. They took her the Rip van Winkle Motel,

431
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:58.920
<v Speaker 3>which is still open. And I was kind of horrified

432
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:02.200
<v Speaker 3>to find out that murder tourists go there because of

433
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:06.839
<v Speaker 3>this case. I've got I've got nothing wrong with visiting

434
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:11.559
<v Speaker 3>infamous crime scenes because I've done it. But the way

435
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:14.480
<v Speaker 3>people talked about this and yelp and stuff I found

436
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:18.440
<v Speaker 3>to be really tasteless. But Tommy said, they took Lorraine

437
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Boreowski to the Rip van Winklin Hotel and they gang

438
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:34.480
<v Speaker 3>raped her. They severed or breast with piano wire, They

439
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:47.159
<v Speaker 3>had sexual intercourse with the wound, and get hacked her

440
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:50.320
<v Speaker 3>to death by hitting her in the throat with a

441
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:55.440
<v Speaker 3>hand as and then they disposed of the body in

442
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:59.800
<v Speaker 3>a cemetery. Get there to think about cemeteries too. When

443
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:07.159
<v Speaker 3>he said, if you dump bodies in proximity to cemeteries.

444
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:10.800
<v Speaker 3>As long as it's not within the normal we're out

445
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:15.920
<v Speaker 3>of the maintenance workers, it will go and discovered for

446
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:19.639
<v Speaker 3>long enough for animal predation and the elements to get

447
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:24.880
<v Speaker 3>rid of evidence. And sure enough Lorraine Barowski was found

448
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:32.360
<v Speaker 3>at the cemetery. The screwdriver was significant because gets Van

449
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:38.360
<v Speaker 3>he'd rigged it up so that victims couldn't open the

450
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:42.239
<v Speaker 3>doors from the from it within, and he'd he'd jerry

451
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:44.519
<v Speaker 3>rigged the lock mechanism so that you could open it

452
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:49.159
<v Speaker 3>from outside with a flathead screwdriver. So this, this random

453
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:57.880
<v Speaker 3>flathead being with Lorraine Barowski's belongings became a highly significant

454
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:04.320
<v Speaker 3>obviously in circumstantial but I when women don't when women

455
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:08.000
<v Speaker 3>don't carry flatting stream drivers. In the purposal, KK, you

456
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:13.960
<v Speaker 3>had to I will die in that hill, but uh,

457
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:19.639
<v Speaker 3>let me find place here in my O. I'm sorry,

458
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:33.880
<v Speaker 3>and Andy could porealis. He confess to the murder of

459
00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:39.519
<v Speaker 3>rose Beck Davis, which was the most brazen of what

460
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:48.320
<v Speaker 3>the Ripper Crew did. Rush Street, which to this day

461
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:52.920
<v Speaker 3>is to remain something of the entertainment district. It's way

462
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:55.480
<v Speaker 3>less so than in the in the old days, but

463
00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:59.239
<v Speaker 3>in the early eighties. It was very very much happening.

464
00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:04.119
<v Speaker 3>And you know, uh, you're in the heart of downtown.

465
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:09.639
<v Speaker 3>There rose Big Davis with this business lady who's attending

466
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:15.159
<v Speaker 3>some conference and she'd just been grabbed off the street.

467
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Same uh sort of assault demo dumped in an alleyway.

468
00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:32.599
<v Speaker 3>That happened in area six. And uh, the connection wasn't

469
00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:40.639
<v Speaker 3>made to any other you know, any any other homicides.

470
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:45.559
<v Speaker 3>And that was part of what if you know the

471
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:49.800
<v Speaker 3>g R if you don't have the geography Chicago shoeing

472
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Mack was killed in Barrington, which is way west Bill

473
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.199
<v Speaker 3>of Park, what is outside the city limits, you know,

474
00:37:55.360 --> 00:38:04.480
<v Speaker 3>but bordering approximate on the west side, you know, Rush

475
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Street is you know, like I said in the Stars

476
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:15.760
<v Speaker 3>Throw from the Loop, they were doing this h in

477
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:22.119
<v Speaker 3>such a widely dispersed hunting ground. Not to be flippant,

478
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:30.280
<v Speaker 3>that had the effect of of confusing the fat pattern.

479
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:35.800
<v Speaker 3>And also it wasn't DNA is overstated, and how it's

480
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:42.159
<v Speaker 3>utilized in court it's over persuasive and triers e fact,

481
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:46.360
<v Speaker 3>but not not just lay juries but judges as well.

482
00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:53.639
<v Speaker 3>They do it in binary terms, which is really bad. However,

483
00:38:53.920 --> 00:39:01.119
<v Speaker 3>obviously it's a highly useful tool, particularly when discussing sexual

484
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:06.920
<v Speaker 3>crimes like these. You know, you couldn't, uh you could, uh,

485
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:11.960
<v Speaker 3>I think you could. I mean if you could type

486
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.599
<v Speaker 3>blood group from blood sample in nineteen eighty two. I

487
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:20.519
<v Speaker 3>believe if the contributor was a secretor, you could type

488
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:23.519
<v Speaker 3>blood from seamen as well. But that was it. You know,

489
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:27.840
<v Speaker 3>a blood group, doesn't I mean you're talking about millions

490
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:33.039
<v Speaker 3>of potential suspects. I mean you can you can exclude somebody,

491
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:36.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, as this the Donnor, but that's about it.

492
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:40.239
<v Speaker 3>But it was uh and obviously this was before the

493
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:45.719
<v Speaker 3>ubiquity of CCTV and pre cell phones and things, but

494
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:48.480
<v Speaker 3>just the same, what these guys are doing was incredibly brazen.

495
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.440
<v Speaker 3>It's it's sort amazing that they were able to get

496
00:39:52.480 --> 00:40:00.360
<v Speaker 3>away with with some of these abductions and things. Aska

497
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Coriealis Andy co Corielis continued, He attested and took ownership

498
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:13.960
<v Speaker 3>of eighteen murders, but he said, we've done so many,

499
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:22.199
<v Speaker 3>I probably have lost track. You know. The police, Uh,

500
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:30.000
<v Speaker 3>the police cast they cast Spritzer as an abject simpleton.

501
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:38.519
<v Speaker 3>They cast Gaged as stone cold and hard as ice.

502
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:46.440
<v Speaker 3>They they portrayed Andy as a punk, but I don't

503
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:50.519
<v Speaker 3>think that's the whole story, you know, and he, uh,

504
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:59.079
<v Speaker 3>he went to his death pretty stoically, and the Barowski

505
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:04.079
<v Speaker 3>family was there to witness of execution. I think they

506
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:08.320
<v Speaker 3>were the only impacted victims.

507
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:13.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, if I remember correctly, he seems from what limited

508
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:17.559
<v Speaker 4>information I've been able to find on it, it's sort

509
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:24.159
<v Speaker 4>of a conversion. After his arrest.

510
00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:25.039
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

511
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:29.559
<v Speaker 4>You know, he famously, you know, read out a few

512
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:34.079
<v Speaker 4>passages from scripture and you know, basically threw himself on

513
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:35.760
<v Speaker 4>the mercy of the victims family.

514
00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, and he apologized them without eschewing responsibility. And

515
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:48.760
<v Speaker 3>he his spiritual advisor. And under under Illinois law, when

516
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:52.079
<v Speaker 3>we when we have the Death Menal League as well

517
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:57.440
<v Speaker 3>as you know the fourteenth Amendment, you've got a right

518
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:00.800
<v Speaker 3>to a spiritual advisor if you're under it. DEA's and

519
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:05.400
<v Speaker 3>it was this Orthodox priest, and you know, the the Orthodox,

520
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:11.679
<v Speaker 3>unlike the the Roman Catholic Church was the Roman Catholics

521
00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:16.360
<v Speaker 3>have adopted a categorically anti death penalty stance. And I

522
00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:19.360
<v Speaker 3>know a lot of our Catholic friends strongly object to that,

523
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:26.119
<v Speaker 3>but the Orthodox, they don't have that perspective. And this

524
00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:32.639
<v Speaker 3>this Orthonox priest who was his spiritual advisor. He he

525
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:38.079
<v Speaker 3>was emphatic that Corialis was repentant, and I he certainly

526
00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:40.960
<v Speaker 3>didn't win any friends by sticking up for Andy co Coriolis.

527
00:42:41.719 --> 00:42:44.920
<v Speaker 3>And I don't get me wrong, I go Coriolis should

528
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:47.519
<v Speaker 3>have been executed, that it was proper and if he,

529
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:49.679
<v Speaker 3>if he was surely repentant and came to Christ, that

530
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:53.960
<v Speaker 3>makes me happy. But that does nothing to suggests he

531
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:58.079
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't have been executed. But I don't. I don't believe

532
00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:00.079
<v Speaker 3>he was putting on heirs. And there's also no there

533
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:03.480
<v Speaker 3>was absolutely no chance he was gonna be manumented. There

534
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:05.760
<v Speaker 3>was I mean, why why would he fuck around with

535
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:09.400
<v Speaker 3>unrepentant because I want clout from random people?

536
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:12.800
<v Speaker 4>That's not especially you know, this would be one thing

537
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:15.960
<v Speaker 4>if it were you know, the kind of fevered imaginations

538
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:19.119
<v Speaker 4>of you know, the kind of like mid eighties, you know,

539
00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Bible Belt, but you know in New York or sorry,

540
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:27.000
<v Speaker 4>in Illinois rather, you know, like sure, it's I realize

541
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:30.679
<v Speaker 4>it's it is a you know, Chicago's religious place. But

542
00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:35.679
<v Speaker 4>that play doesn't quite work the same way, especially if

543
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:38.360
<v Speaker 4>you're a Greek guy, right, you know, to me. The

544
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:41.920
<v Speaker 4>idea that that was artificial, I think is is I

545
00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:44.039
<v Speaker 4>can't prove it per se, but it seems kind of

546
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:44.599
<v Speaker 4>laughable to me.

547
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:48.039
<v Speaker 3>What's like, normies they don't normies don't understand how they

548
00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:50.159
<v Speaker 3>don't understand the streets, and they don't they don't understand

549
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:57.159
<v Speaker 3>really how people convicted a serious crimes function like they

550
00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:00.400
<v Speaker 3>always claim to everybody in prison claims they're innocent. Actually

551
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:04.239
<v Speaker 3>they don't man like at all, you know, and it's

552
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:09.280
<v Speaker 3>it's considered kind of a punk moved and insists you

553
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:14.599
<v Speaker 3>were you know, wrongfully convicted or whatever. And plus I

554
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:17.599
<v Speaker 3>mean at some point it's just a bad look, you know,

555
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:21.599
<v Speaker 3>I mean I but yeah, I that's one of the

556
00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:27.280
<v Speaker 3>things that's, uh, the stirring about this case is I

557
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:31.559
<v Speaker 3>you know, again I whether whether Ady Gcriels was a

558
00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:36.559
<v Speaker 3>punk or not. He was a troubled guy. He he

559
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:41.400
<v Speaker 3>was kind of falling victim to his own to his

560
00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:46.440
<v Speaker 3>own nature in in in you know, but in terms

561
00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:49.800
<v Speaker 3>of typical streak ship, he probably would have had a

562
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:52.639
<v Speaker 3>bad end. But I don't know, he was set in stone.

563
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:54.840
<v Speaker 3>He would have ended up doing this stuff. I mean,

564
00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:57.800
<v Speaker 3>nobody nobody does this stuff. I mean, that's the whole point.

565
00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:02.559
<v Speaker 3>And to be clear to the Chicago police superintendent back then,

566
00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:06.280
<v Speaker 3>we don't have a police chief or a police commissioner.

567
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:10.679
<v Speaker 3>We have a superintendent in Chicago. He was this guy,

568
00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Richard J. Breezick, and he was he was the youngest

569
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:17.280
<v Speaker 3>ever police superintendent. He was thirty seven or something. And

570
00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:23.280
<v Speaker 3>he took a particular interest in the Ripper Crew case

571
00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:30.920
<v Speaker 3>because it was all over the news for a minute, okay,

572
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:37.239
<v Speaker 3>and obviously there was there was real concern buring on panic.

573
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:39.840
<v Speaker 3>You know, are there more of these guys? What's going

574
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:43.280
<v Speaker 3>on here? He hold a press conference because and this

575
00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:47.079
<v Speaker 3>specifically the subject matter was, you know, the press says

576
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:51.880
<v Speaker 3>there's been allegations that this this, you know, this was

577
00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:55.280
<v Speaker 3>the product of a Satanic cult, you know, and ritual

578
00:45:56.239 --> 00:46:01.079
<v Speaker 3>sacrifice some things. And Breezak he was some sort of prodigy,

579
00:46:03.039 --> 00:46:06.480
<v Speaker 3>I think he uh, I thank you for a time.

580
00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:10.159
<v Speaker 3>He was the youngest uh detective and the Detectives Bureau

581
00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:15.880
<v Speaker 3>of like ever. He he was an alum of John

582
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:18.559
<v Speaker 3>Marshall Law School, which I have too, and he and

583
00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:21.559
<v Speaker 3>he was number one in his class. He uh, like

584
00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:25.039
<v Speaker 3>John Marshall was not a prestige institution, but but it does.

585
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:28.519
<v Speaker 3>But moth cops are not gonna, you know, be number

586
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:31.599
<v Speaker 3>one in their class in law school, particularly nearly eighties

587
00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:36.480
<v Speaker 3>when the curriculum was more competitively rigorous. But you know,

588
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:39.119
<v Speaker 3>and he was. He was a big he was a

589
00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:42.119
<v Speaker 3>big city police. He wasn't he wasn't some he wasn't

590
00:46:42.159 --> 00:46:47.639
<v Speaker 3>some dumb hic or some simpleton holy roller taken in

591
00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:50.440
<v Speaker 3>by Satanic panic or whatever the narrative is of people,

592
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:53.000
<v Speaker 3>you know. And I mean, that's something I've got to

593
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:57.679
<v Speaker 3>emphasize again. And that's really was sort of the motive

594
00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:02.360
<v Speaker 3>on my end for is bating this whole series is

595
00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:07.400
<v Speaker 3>this was a real thing and the zeitgeist was shot

596
00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:12.000
<v Speaker 3>through with it, and it was happening everywhere. You know.

597
00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:16.400
<v Speaker 3>That's what I'm trying to convey to that unpleasant man

598
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:19.000
<v Speaker 3>we talked to the other day. I mean, look, I

599
00:47:20.119 --> 00:47:25.280
<v Speaker 3>so I'm a little kid, and everybody's terrified that their daughter,

600
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:27.519
<v Speaker 3>their mom, and their sister is gonna get grabbed by

601
00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:33.840
<v Speaker 3>these necrophilic cannibal rapos who who they themselves claim worship Satan.

602
00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Then you know, I go to Ventura in La with

603
00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:39.880
<v Speaker 3>my folks, you know, a year or two later and

604
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:43.199
<v Speaker 3>Richard Umire is you know, slaughtering people in their homes

605
00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:46.199
<v Speaker 3>and their sleep at night, and you know, forcing them

606
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:48.880
<v Speaker 3>to swear to Satan before he does them in you know,

607
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:54.280
<v Speaker 3>I I take it personally when people act like I'm

608
00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:57.599
<v Speaker 3>some kind of idiot or something for pushing back on

609
00:47:57.719 --> 00:48:02.119
<v Speaker 3>the claim that, oh, everybody who believed that there was

610
00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:06.480
<v Speaker 3>a call tenantcieson a zeitgeist, You're just some dumb hic

611
00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:09.960
<v Speaker 3>who doesn't leave his house and believes that the doubles

612
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:13.079
<v Speaker 3>after him. I don't know, man, I don't This stuff

613
00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:14.239
<v Speaker 3>either happened or it didn't.

614
00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:18.880
<v Speaker 4>And well, and look like I don't have the highest

615
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:22.239
<v Speaker 4>opinion of the you know, the moral character of Heraldo Rivera,

616
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:26.280
<v Speaker 4>but I somewhat suspect it sort of passed his ability

617
00:48:26.840 --> 00:48:29.639
<v Speaker 4>to be you know, dozens of places all across the

618
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:33.079
<v Speaker 4>US setting up exactly these sort of crimes like maybe

619
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:35.039
<v Speaker 4>one or two, you know, in sort of a you

620
00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:39.880
<v Speaker 4>know night, you can imagine maybe, But clearly this was

621
00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:45.400
<v Speaker 4>something happening, and that is independent of how certain people

622
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:49.960
<v Speaker 4>who were you know, shameless or money hungry reacted to it.

623
00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:52.960
<v Speaker 4>That's a separate part of that's a separate part of

624
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:57.039
<v Speaker 4>the narrative, but the idea that you know, some carnival

625
00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:01.559
<v Speaker 4>barker exaggerated, lied, or spun it into a convenient narrative,

626
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:05.840
<v Speaker 4>and therefore the initial claim is false. That doesn't stand

627
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:09.039
<v Speaker 4>up to even you know, let's be honest, like a

628
00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:15.280
<v Speaker 4>light examination. So I'm curious, Thomas, if you have more

629
00:49:16.039 --> 00:49:21.159
<v Speaker 4>I guess kind of information on the ringleader. Right, yeah,

630
00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:23.239
<v Speaker 4>I was gonna get what do we really know about him?

631
00:49:24.360 --> 00:49:30.559
<v Speaker 3>Gek came from a weird family, apparently the father, and

632
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:33.719
<v Speaker 3>a reputation for stepping out on his mom and being

633
00:49:33.719 --> 00:49:39.480
<v Speaker 3>a big philanderer. Gekt he apparently was sort of a

634
00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:43.760
<v Speaker 3>non entity in high school. Nobody really remembered him, but

635
00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:47.000
<v Speaker 3>he got married young and by the time he was

636
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:49.599
<v Speaker 3>in his mid twenties here he had a few kids.

637
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:55.519
<v Speaker 3>His wife was this bizarre woman who and she tolerated

638
00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:59.000
<v Speaker 3>him carrying out affairs and again gek t had sex

639
00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:02.760
<v Speaker 3>with both men and women, and one of his girlfriends

640
00:50:04.639 --> 00:50:08.840
<v Speaker 3>attested to the fact that he engaged in at least

641
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:11.440
<v Speaker 3>one occasion he engaged in beast reality with a canine

642
00:50:11.679 --> 00:50:13.239
<v Speaker 3>and he tried to get her involved in it, and

643
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:15.960
<v Speaker 3>she said, no, you're sick. I'm not doing that. But

644
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:23.000
<v Speaker 3>get when he was initially arrested after his idd by,

645
00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:28.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, his victims survived. Denise Gardner, this woman he'd

646
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:32.639
<v Speaker 3>been having an affair with, mortgaged her house to pay

647
00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:38.480
<v Speaker 3>his bail, I mean, which is bizarre. And his wife,

648
00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:44.760
<v Speaker 3>he apparently was into really heavy sn M, and he'd

649
00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:47.679
<v Speaker 3>punish her by forcing her to do things like sticking

650
00:50:47.840 --> 00:50:52.280
<v Speaker 3>pins in her breast or like flat late herself. And

651
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:55.519
<v Speaker 3>she talked to her girlfriends about this like it was normal.

652
00:50:56.599 --> 00:51:00.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, this guy apparently had you know, he did

653
00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:04.960
<v Speaker 3>wield power over people. I mean again, I'm not suggesting

654
00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:08.679
<v Speaker 3>that you know, he he was some sort of sorcerer

655
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:13.199
<v Speaker 3>or something, but again, you know the fact that he

656
00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:17.280
<v Speaker 3>had all these women who were enthralled with him and

657
00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:20.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, willing to do all these deviant things to

658
00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:26.800
<v Speaker 3>please his bizarre impulses. And you know, he's got women,

659
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:29.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, mortgaging their home to bail him out of jail.

660
00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:36.199
<v Speaker 3>He's got street dudes like the Coriela's brothers doing incredibly

661
00:51:36.400 --> 00:51:42.079
<v Speaker 3>deviant criminal things. I mean, there's there's something there, you know,

662
00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:45.440
<v Speaker 3>And again it's not Gekt Also too, this is a

663
00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:50.559
<v Speaker 3>bizarre twist. Get one of his kids named David Ghekt.

664
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:53.039
<v Speaker 3>He was just a baby when his father went away

665
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:58.039
<v Speaker 3>to prison. David Gekt is one can imagine it didn't

666
00:51:58.079 --> 00:52:02.119
<v Speaker 3>have a happy life. He ended up gang bang and

667
00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:03.760
<v Speaker 3>I think he was a he was either an ig

668
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.760
<v Speaker 3>or a maniac lantin disciple. He got convicted of this murder,

669
00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:12.519
<v Speaker 3>this gang related murder in the late nineties, and he

670
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:17.719
<v Speaker 3>got like an eighty year bit. He was wrongfully convicted.

671
00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:24.079
<v Speaker 3>This one uh, this this one gang task Force Detectives

672
00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:28.239
<v Speaker 3>Bureau guy essentially framed him up to clear the case.

673
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:31.360
<v Speaker 3>And also he I mean his view of almost certainly

674
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:35.719
<v Speaker 3>was this kid, some gangbanger shit bag whose dad's a rapo,

675
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:39.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, fuck him. But Gek the son he got

676
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:44.920
<v Speaker 3>released after doing like twenty three years, you know, and

677
00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:47.679
<v Speaker 3>and he actually was innocent. This isn't some nonsense like

678
00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:55.280
<v Speaker 3>West Memphis three. David Ghek was a guy. I mean,

679
00:52:55.320 --> 00:52:57.079
<v Speaker 3>first of all, I mean, how messed up is this is?

680
00:52:57.159 --> 00:52:58.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's not his fault. His father's an evil

681
00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:01.639
<v Speaker 3>piece of shit. I mean, like, so he's growing up

682
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:06.679
<v Speaker 3>in that with that over his head. He uh, the hood.

683
00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:09.760
<v Speaker 3>He grew up. He grew up in Belmont Creigen, which

684
00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:15.280
<v Speaker 3>uh was a working class white hood. Now it's very

685
00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:19.599
<v Speaker 3>Spanish and uh, especially in the nineties, there was a

686
00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:26.320
<v Speaker 3>lot like everybody was gangbanging there. And but that's that

687
00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:29.599
<v Speaker 3>that this is an interesting factoid. But no, Deck himself

688
00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:35.000
<v Speaker 3>had a and apparently Deck Robin Gek he he was

689
00:53:35.559 --> 00:53:37.760
<v Speaker 3>he was a skilled carpenter, you know. I mean, he

690
00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:39.960
<v Speaker 3>had his own business. He was good at what he did,

691
00:53:41.280 --> 00:53:44.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, and that's why, uh, I mean, as was Gaysey,

692
00:53:44.760 --> 00:53:47.719
<v Speaker 3>you know, I mean what one of the things that

693
00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:52.199
<v Speaker 3>is made Gaycy dangerous is he was an effective person.

694
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:56.159
<v Speaker 3>And especially he went from you know, he he did

695
00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:59.960
<v Speaker 3>time in Iowa for for a sex offense. Cause back Jillen,

696
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:02.199
<v Speaker 3>NOI he gets a job as a short order cook.

697
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:04.960
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, if he was a skilled tradesman, you know,

698
00:54:05.239 --> 00:54:09.599
<v Speaker 3>he did good work, and Gek seems like something a

699
00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:10.440
<v Speaker 3>similar profile.

700
00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:10.800
<v Speaker 2>But he.

701
00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:16.960
<v Speaker 3>It's uh. But other than that, Get is something of

702
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:25.280
<v Speaker 3>a mystery. I mean, obviously, what what people are gonna

703
00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:31.440
<v Speaker 3>emphasize after the fact is the dving aspects and whatever

704
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:39.639
<v Speaker 3>human aspects are present that would, you know and uncontroversially

705
00:54:39.800 --> 00:54:43.320
<v Speaker 3>be viewed as normal are going to be minimized. But uh,

706
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:47.400
<v Speaker 3>in Deek's case, I think that it really is kind

707
00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:51.079
<v Speaker 3>of a question mark and and say it's about in prison,

708
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:53.440
<v Speaker 3>he's he's working at the factor like sentence. He got

709
00:54:53.480 --> 00:54:56.280
<v Speaker 3>something like one hundred and thirty years even though he

710
00:54:56.519 --> 00:54:59.599
<v Speaker 3>didn't he was never gonna get a homicide. But he's

711
00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:02.960
<v Speaker 3>he's base. He said nothing since he's been incarcerated. You know,

712
00:55:03.559 --> 00:55:05.639
<v Speaker 3>the whole thing is very strange. I mean to say

713
00:55:05.679 --> 00:55:07.679
<v Speaker 3>the least, I mean, be on the obvious.

714
00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:10.440
<v Speaker 4>But it you know, well, and that's the thing that

715
00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:13.519
<v Speaker 4>sort of stuck out to me about this is that,

716
00:55:14.199 --> 00:55:18.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, all three of the other men implicated the

717
00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:20.440
<v Speaker 4>moment they got in front of the police, were just

718
00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:25.239
<v Speaker 4>spilling their guts, whereas Get basically said nothing from the

719
00:55:25.280 --> 00:55:26.639
<v Speaker 4>moment he was arrested till now.

720
00:55:28.159 --> 00:55:36.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and the the the Bureau detectives, they the uh,

721
00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:41.039
<v Speaker 3>the Area five command or of the detectives Bureau. He

722
00:55:41.159 --> 00:55:44.119
<v Speaker 3>took a crack a Get, despite the fact that that's

723
00:55:44.159 --> 00:55:49.320
<v Speaker 3>generally not done because you don't want micromanager detectives and

724
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:52.320
<v Speaker 3>it's and what have you. But the the guy was

725
00:55:52.400 --> 00:55:56.400
<v Speaker 3>so strange and even even a hardened street dude was

726
00:55:56.440 --> 00:55:59.639
<v Speaker 3>in the game, which Get was not I mean, if

727
00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:05.079
<v Speaker 3>you're if you got if you're employee custody and they're

728
00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:07.599
<v Speaker 3>saying they think you're good for multiple homicides, you're you're

729
00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:10.519
<v Speaker 3>gonna be sweating me, and you're especially then again, that's

730
00:56:10.639 --> 00:56:13.360
<v Speaker 3>that's when Illinois was a death penalty state. You know

731
00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:16.920
<v Speaker 3>the fact that nobody got any read on Ghek and

732
00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:20.440
<v Speaker 3>he just he was basically like almost apathetic. You know,

733
00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:25.360
<v Speaker 3>there's something like a lot of evil people. He had

734
00:56:26.079 --> 00:56:29.239
<v Speaker 3>some sort of power, and albeit of a perverse sort

735
00:56:29.480 --> 00:56:33.440
<v Speaker 3>and not amirable sorty, and some kind of spiritual or interdiscipline.

736
00:56:34.719 --> 00:56:38.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's possible to have it's possible to be

737
00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:43.199
<v Speaker 3>a spiritual adept, but to be evil, you know, I

738
00:56:44.719 --> 00:56:47.840
<v Speaker 3>And it's some you know, I mean that's what Yeah.

739
00:56:47.880 --> 00:56:50.920
<v Speaker 3>Pull up the picture of the Ripper Crew if you

740
00:56:50.960 --> 00:56:54.039
<v Speaker 3>would please. Yeah, I mean, just like one man doing

741
00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:57.280
<v Speaker 3>this well along with Ghek could be strange enough, but

742
00:56:58.079 --> 00:57:04.480
<v Speaker 3>you know they have three other men with really with

743
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:07.840
<v Speaker 3>no criminal record either. Granted Andy and Tommy were young.

744
00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:11.760
<v Speaker 3>That's Andy on the far left that sprites are on

745
00:57:11.800 --> 00:57:16.840
<v Speaker 3>the far right. Then that's Tommy and get you know,

746
00:57:16.960 --> 00:57:20.519
<v Speaker 3>he had uh, he had he had some juvenile incidents

747
00:57:20.559 --> 00:57:24.280
<v Speaker 3>for fighting and stuff and you know, petty crime. But

748
00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:29.800
<v Speaker 3>to go from for your first major crime to be

749
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:33.119
<v Speaker 3>homicide and not just homicide but murder of a woman,

750
00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:36.960
<v Speaker 3>and not just murder but rape on top of that,

751
00:57:37.079 --> 00:57:39.280
<v Speaker 3>and then well also too, I mean not not to

752
00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:44.480
<v Speaker 3>rehash truly disgusting aspects of this case, but even even

753
00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:48.039
<v Speaker 3>a sexual sadist, I mean, who, who who would want

754
00:57:48.079 --> 00:57:55.400
<v Speaker 3>to and insert his genitals into a knife wound and

755
00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:57.360
<v Speaker 3>not just do that, but do it in the presence

756
00:57:57.400 --> 00:58:00.719
<v Speaker 3>of other guys and one after the other, Like, I mean,

757
00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:07.079
<v Speaker 3>who that? That's so bizarre it almost defies reason. Like

758
00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:13.000
<v Speaker 3>if this hadn't happened, if some if some sicko transgressive

759
00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:17.079
<v Speaker 3>fiction author wrote out this fact pattern, people would be like,

760
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:20.320
<v Speaker 3>that's not credible, that's just gross and pornographic. Nobody would

761
00:58:20.360 --> 00:58:24.000
<v Speaker 3>do that, you know, But it happened. Then again, this

762
00:58:24.159 --> 00:58:29.239
<v Speaker 3>wasn't some I'll give you this in part two. We'll

763
00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:33.920
<v Speaker 3>deal with the trials in part two. As this wasn't

764
00:58:34.039 --> 00:58:38.639
<v Speaker 3>just some afterthought either. Core Corey Ellis was emphatic and

765
00:58:38.880 --> 00:58:45.199
<v Speaker 3>ultimately Spikeser was too. The purpose of this memberment was

766
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:54.119
<v Speaker 3>this masturbatory and cannibal ritual under ausmuses of Satanic communion.

767
00:58:54.760 --> 00:59:00.480
<v Speaker 3>That was the point of the dismemberment. You know, Robin

768
00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:03.000
<v Speaker 3>get was on a call to this through and through.

769
00:59:03.280 --> 00:59:07.719
<v Speaker 3>That's why he was doing these things as a sacrifice

770
00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:13.199
<v Speaker 3>and a uh an offering to the devil or whatever.

771
00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Well love what deityes he believed he was in content

772
00:59:16.920 --> 00:59:24.800
<v Speaker 3>with I think you're mute at.

773
00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:31.840
<v Speaker 4>Homie, incredibly professional podcasting moment. But one of the things

774
00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:34.760
<v Speaker 4>you'll you'll hear people say is, oh, you know, these

775
00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:38.239
<v Speaker 4>these guys were just crazy, right, they were. They were

776
00:59:38.320 --> 00:59:41.840
<v Speaker 4>just nut cases. They were just lunatics. And I mean

777
00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:45.800
<v Speaker 4>zoom out a little bit. I mean yeah, kind of

778
00:59:46.239 --> 00:59:51.039
<v Speaker 4>like no normally quote unquote well adjusted person would do this.

779
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:53.199
<v Speaker 3>Fair.

780
00:59:54.159 --> 00:59:59.119
<v Speaker 4>But also, you know how many well adjusted people are

781
00:59:59.719 --> 01:00:04.840
<v Speaker 4>se out the occult are seeking out? You know, is

782
01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:08.599
<v Speaker 4>some sort of like you know, relationship with with dark powers.

783
01:00:08.679 --> 01:00:13.199
<v Speaker 4>It's like, well in, no shit, but that is sort

784
01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:17.039
<v Speaker 4>of indeterminate, That is is sort of unrelated to one.

785
01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:21.320
<v Speaker 4>Do these guys believe that what they're doing is part

786
01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:24.800
<v Speaker 4>of a ritual setting aside any theological claim or two,

787
01:00:25.039 --> 01:00:27.639
<v Speaker 4>If you do believe it, the fact that the guys

788
01:00:27.679 --> 01:00:32.239
<v Speaker 4>are a little cracked is almost unrelated to what they

789
01:00:32.320 --> 01:00:36.679
<v Speaker 4>are actually doing. And to me very much, the kind

790
01:00:36.719 --> 01:00:38.599
<v Speaker 4>of like, oh, they're just crazy, is is sort of

791
01:00:38.639 --> 01:00:43.920
<v Speaker 4>a cop out, right, It's sort of a because yeah, sure.

792
01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Somebody, no, no, you're good, somebody. Okay, if if if

793
01:00:52.519 --> 01:00:54.719
<v Speaker 3>somebody goes out and commits murder because he believes that

794
01:00:54.800 --> 01:00:57.079
<v Speaker 3>if he doesn't, you know, God has told him to

795
01:00:57.199 --> 01:00:59.639
<v Speaker 3>his television that the world will end. Okay, Yeah, I'll

796
01:00:59.679 --> 01:01:02.079
<v Speaker 3>accept that that's insanity as a matter of law, and

797
01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:05.760
<v Speaker 3>colloquially that person's crazy. If you're doing things like these

798
01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:09.840
<v Speaker 3>guys were doing that, that's not mental illness, it's it's

799
01:01:10.679 --> 01:01:17.760
<v Speaker 3>it's evil taking what's ultimate, depraved extreme, whereby one drives

800
01:01:18.559 --> 01:01:25.519
<v Speaker 3>satisfaction from a disgusting paraphilia that they believe is serving

801
01:01:26.400 --> 01:01:32.960
<v Speaker 3>some sort of aesthetical or supernatural imperative. You know, I

802
01:01:33.119 --> 01:01:37.239
<v Speaker 3>don't I that that's very much like a progressivest an

803
01:01:37.320 --> 01:01:41.239
<v Speaker 3>enlightenment conceit that everything has some sort of illness. You know,

804
01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:45.679
<v Speaker 3>if you know you're if you're if you're deeving or evil,

805
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:49.840
<v Speaker 3>it's because you're sick or there's some sort of mental disturbance.

806
01:01:50.960 --> 01:01:54.199
<v Speaker 3>What's also too, I don't believe so there's so there's

807
01:01:54.280 --> 01:01:57.280
<v Speaker 3>these four guys who just sort of come together in

808
01:01:57.320 --> 01:02:02.000
<v Speaker 3>a greater metro area of five million people, and they're

809
01:02:02.039 --> 01:02:05.199
<v Speaker 3>all under the same sort of mental illness that tends

810
01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:10.840
<v Speaker 3>towards the most bizarre and sick paraphelia you can possibly imagine.

811
01:02:10.920 --> 01:02:13.079
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that doesn't seem credible.

812
01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:19.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly, So obviously we will continue with this series.

813
01:02:19.960 --> 01:02:22.280
<v Speaker 4>You guys want to find Thomas. He's got his website,
