1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:02.879
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's not the loudest stories that keep us up

2
00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>at night. It's the quiet ones, the ones that never

3
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>quite made the headlines, the ones that left behind more

4
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.519
<v Speaker 1>questions than answers. The Final Trace is a true crime

5
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>podcast about the strange, the unresolved, and the stories that

6
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:20.600
<v Speaker 1>slipped through the cracks, from disappearances to mysterious debts to

7
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 1>cases that were technically solved but still don't sit right.

8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>We dig into the overlooked, the eerie, and the human

9
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.679
<v Speaker 1>side of every story, because even when a case goes cold,

10
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>there's always something left behind, a clue, a feeling, a

11
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>final trace. Follow the Final Trace wherever you listen to

12
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>podcasts and confined with still lingers in the silence. I'm

13
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>your host, Hopper Daily, and this is the Final Trace.

14
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to dark Cast Network, the best of indie podcasts.

15
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm Jackie and I'm Jenna of Stop Who Does That?

16
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>And you're listening to Rainbow Crimes with hopefully some Unicorn justice.

17
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 3>Hey guys, it's me CJ. I hope you're all doing well,

18
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 3>both physically and mentally. We just celebrated a couple of

19
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.959
<v Speaker 3>birthdays in my household. First, jack my puppy he got

20
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 3>a load of new toys, making his toy box brim over.

21
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 3>But he loves his toys so much. Then my daughter's boyfriend.

22
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 3>The following day, it was pretty much a mid day

23
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 3>for him because he had round the clock setting to do.

24
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 3>He did make time to open his gifts. I think

25
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 3>his favorite was a Japanese katana sword my daughter and

26
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 3>I gave him. Actually, all of his gifts were of

27
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 3>a Japanese theme. He got a Japanese folklore book, Japanese

28
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 3>Pokemon cards in a little Lego type Ramen noodle house,

29
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.400
<v Speaker 3>and I bought them take out sushi for dinner. I

30
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 3>had a protein bar because I don't do sushi. Something

31
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 3>about the seaweed and fish egg toppers I just don't like.

32
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 3>See one of the classes he takes is Japanese, and

33
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 3>he's acing the class and really enjoying it. In fact,

34
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.800
<v Speaker 3>he's acing all of his classes. I hope he'll be

35
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 3>able to become an attorney someday soon. And that's about

36
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 3>it for me. On the coast of Oregon, our main

37
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 3>case is at a Camby, Indiana in two thousand and eight.

38
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 3>Camby is a neighborhood in Indianapolis, seventy year old Milt

39
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 3>Lindgren Junior was at one time of his life married

40
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 3>to a woman for thirty years. Seventy three year old

41
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Kendricks was in a twenty five year relationship with a man,

42
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 3>but his partner had since passed away. Now in their

43
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 3>later years, both Milton and Eric found each other and

44
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 3>they had became domestic partners. They'd been living together for

45
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 3>several years. Unfortunately, Eric was bound to a wheelchair due

46
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 3>to complications with diabetes, but the two men loved each

47
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 3>other and they took care of each other the best

48
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:32.199
<v Speaker 3>they could. During two thousand and eight, someone was harassing

49
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 3>the two men, first by cutting their landline for their

50
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 3>house phone twice and then by painting anti gay slurs

51
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 3>on their door. Still, the men tried to make the

52
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 3>best of their situation. They even enlisted help from their

53
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 3>new friend, fifty six year old Michael Brown. It's been

54
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 3>reported Michael met the two men at church. Michael told

55
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 3>them he used to be a doctor, which is why

56
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Milton Eric thought Michael would be great to hire to

57
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 3>help with Eric's caretaking when Milt wasn't able to do it.

58
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Michael had even moved in with Milton Eric for five

59
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 3>months from February to July two thousand and eight. It

60
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 3>was during this time that Michael started to make some

61
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.000
<v Speaker 3>nefarious decisions. He went to the post office and he

62
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 3>changed the mailing address for Eric's mail. He asked a

63
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 3>friend if he could send Eric's mill to his house,

64
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.560
<v Speaker 3>and he gave some type of bullshit story that Eric

65
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 3>was going through a messy divorce and he didn't need

66
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 3>the added stress. The friend agreed and began to collect

67
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 3>Eric's mail that he handed over to Michael on a

68
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:45.800
<v Speaker 3>regular basis. Milton Eric began to call Michael doctor Brown,

69
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.639
<v Speaker 3>and they were to introduce him as such to their

70
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 3>friends and neighbors. Although Michael had never been a doctor

71
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 3>in his entire life, he only played one for his

72
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 3>own personal interests in order to gain Milton Eric's trust.

73
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 3>A month or so went by and Milt started to

74
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:08.480
<v Speaker 3>notice Eric was no longer receiving his mail. He questioned

75
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 3>their mail carrier about why Eric's mail wasn't coming in,

76
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.680
<v Speaker 3>and she told him there was a change of address

77
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 3>notification on it. So Milton Eric went down to the

78
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 3>post office. They saw the paper filed for the change

79
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.240
<v Speaker 3>of address, and they proved the signature on it was

80
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.680
<v Speaker 3>not Erics, although they had no idea who would have

81
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 3>done such a thing. They also discovered the address Eric's

82
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 3>mail was assigned to. They didn't recognize the address or

83
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 3>the name of the resident of the home there, and

84
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 3>by the time they got to the address, the home

85
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 3>had been sold and nobody was living there. With that

86
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:53.480
<v Speaker 3>mystery still unsolved, Milton Eric returned home. For months, Milt

87
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.720
<v Speaker 3>tried to find out who had put in the change

88
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 3>of address requests for Eric's mail. The end of July,

89
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Michael had moved out. In late September early October, Milton

90
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 3>Eric decided it was time to get away for a while.

91
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 3>They wanted to go on a road trip. Milt talked

92
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 3>to a lady whose auto shop he had always taken

93
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 3>his cars too, and he told her he needed an

94
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.120
<v Speaker 3>oil change in a tune up on his gold Dodge

95
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 3>Caravan because he and Eric were going to take a trip.

96
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 3>She expected him to come in with his van, but

97
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:33.040
<v Speaker 3>he hadn't. On October twentieth, two thousand and eight, Michael

98
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 3>walked into the auto shop that Milt used and he

99
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 3>told the lady at the auto shop he needed to

100
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 3>get Milt's van towed in because he thought someone might

101
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 3>have put sugar packets in the gas tank. When the

102
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 3>lady asked Michael how he came into possession of the van,

103
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 3>he told her that someone had left him a voicemail

104
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 3>telling him that the van was in the Walmart parking

105
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 3>lot and the keys were in it. Michael went on

106
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 3>to say that the person was so and when Milt

107
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 3>had lent his van to but he didn't know the person.

108
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 3>The auto shop lady knew Milt well enough to know

109
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.120
<v Speaker 3>he didn't like loaning out his van to anyone. He

110
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 3>was very particular about his vehicles. She became suspicious and

111
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.480
<v Speaker 3>she called the owner of the security for the housing

112
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 3>development where Milton Eric lived. Michael said he'd go over

113
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.000
<v Speaker 3>and he'd meet the head of the security at their house,

114
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.160
<v Speaker 3>and just a reminder, Michael was no longer living in

115
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.879
<v Speaker 3>the home with Milton Eric at the time. When Michael

116
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 3>arrived at the house and neighbor greeted him, Michael told

117
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.639
<v Speaker 3>the neighbor that Milton Eric were supposed to go on vacation,

118
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.079
<v Speaker 3>but he hadn't seen them and he wanted to check

119
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.279
<v Speaker 3>just to make sure everything was okay. The two men

120
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 3>checked around the house looking for an entry access, but

121
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 3>the doors were all locked. The neighbor noticed an open window,

122
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.399
<v Speaker 3>and then they went around to the front of the

123
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.839
<v Speaker 3>house to greet the security company owner. The security company

124
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.199
<v Speaker 3>owner didn't want to go inside the home, so Michael

125
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 3>and the neighbor went back around the house to the

126
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.399
<v Speaker 3>opened window. Michael climbed through the window and he opened

127
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 3>the back door for the neighbor. Upon entering, the smell

128
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 3>of decomposition was unsettling. The neighbor refused to go any further. Michael, however,

129
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 3>went upstairs, yelling commentary down to the neighbor, there's blood everywhere.

130
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 3>The neighbor told Michael to come back down, but Michael said,

131
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.120
<v Speaker 3>I can't. I have to check the other one. The

132
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.919
<v Speaker 3>neighbor ran back out of the house and around to

133
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 3>the front. He told the security owner to call the police.

134
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:49.720
<v Speaker 3>After several minutes inside, Michael emerged from the house. At

135
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:54.279
<v Speaker 3>eleven a m. The Indianapolis Metro Police received a report

136
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:59.480
<v Speaker 3>of two possible deceased bodies in a Canby home. Upon

137
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.159
<v Speaker 3>the police arrival, they discovered the bodies of both Milt

138
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:08.600
<v Speaker 3>and Eric upstairs in different bedrooms. In one of the bedrooms,

139
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 3>Milt laid in bed underneath the covers with only his

140
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 3>head exposed. There was blood splatter everywhere surrounding him and

141
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:21.639
<v Speaker 3>on the walls and ceiling. They found Eric's body in

142
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.519
<v Speaker 3>another bedroom. He was only wearing socks and a T shirt.

143
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 3>Blood splatter was pretty much everywhere in his cluttery room.

144
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:35.000
<v Speaker 3>The adjoining bathroom between the two rooms also had traces

145
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 3>of blood, but otherwise the bathroom appeared pretty tidy, looking

146
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 3>like the vanity counter had been wiped down. Based on

147
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.960
<v Speaker 3>the decomposition, it seemed Milton Eric had been dead for

148
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.360
<v Speaker 3>at least a week. The autopsy revealed that Milt had

149
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.360
<v Speaker 3>died from multiple skull fractors to the left side of

150
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.919
<v Speaker 3>his head, most likely from a baseball bat or a hammer.

151
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.679
<v Speaker 3>Eric had a two inch laceration and a skull fracture

152
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.240
<v Speaker 3>to his head. It also been surmised that the injuries

153
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 3>were caused from a baseball bat or a hammer. On

154
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.799
<v Speaker 3>October twenty second, two thousand and eight, Michael drove Milt's

155
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:19.559
<v Speaker 3>van to a different auto shop. By now, the news

156
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:22.799
<v Speaker 3>of Milton Eric's murders were all over the media in

157
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 3>the area. The auto shop called the police about the

158
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 3>van because the registration was for Milt, but Michael was

159
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 3>already gone. On October twenty eighth, Michael's then girlfriend dropped

160
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:40.600
<v Speaker 3>him off in downtown Indianapolis, where he told her he

161
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.759
<v Speaker 3>was going to stay with a different friend. She gave

162
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 3>him a couple hundred dollars. On Halloween, Michael called his

163
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.840
<v Speaker 3>girlfriend and asked if she had seen his aluminum baseball

164
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 3>bat anywhere. She told him she hadn't. It was missing.

165
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.600
<v Speaker 3>He told her not to tell anyone about it, promised

166
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.639
<v Speaker 3>she wouldn't, and then she called law enforcement to tell

167
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:06.480
<v Speaker 3>them all about the bat and her conversation with Michael.

168
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.399
<v Speaker 3>The police had been looking at Michael as the possible

169
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 3>murderer of Milton Eric, and now this gave them even

170
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:19.960
<v Speaker 3>more probable cause. Law enforcement seized footage of the Walmart

171
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.360
<v Speaker 3>parking lot back in early October. They saw Milt's van

172
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.480
<v Speaker 3>being parked by someone at three twenty four a m.

173
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 3>On October ninth, and then leaving the parking lot by foot.

174
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 3>Six minutes later, a silver Dodge Avenger that Michael had

175
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 3>rented parked next to the van. The person on the

176
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.840
<v Speaker 3>camera then is observed unloading items from the van into

177
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.879
<v Speaker 3>the car and then that person gets into the car

178
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:52.440
<v Speaker 3>and drives off. Four days later, on October thirteenth, Walmart

179
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.279
<v Speaker 3>footage shows someone being dropped off near the van. The

180
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.559
<v Speaker 3>person gets in the van and drives off. So as

181
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.879
<v Speaker 3>we know, it's the end of October by Now Michael

182
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:08.000
<v Speaker 3>spoke to his girlfriend and she in turn called the police.

183
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 3>Now Michael's in the wind. He's gone. He is nowhere

184
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 3>in Indiana to be found. The US Marshal Service received

185
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.759
<v Speaker 3>information around November eighteenth Michael was sitting in a hospital

186
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 3>lobby in San Diego, California. The Marshals were able to

187
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:31.519
<v Speaker 3>take Michael into custody, charge him with two counts of murder,

188
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.480
<v Speaker 3>and extra item back to Indiana for further interrogation. Michael's

189
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.399
<v Speaker 3>trial lasted a whole four days, and it began September

190
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.120
<v Speaker 3>of twenty ten at Jaelhouse. Snitch that Michael had been

191
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.759
<v Speaker 3>incarcerated with while awaiting his trial for witness for the prosecution,

192
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.639
<v Speaker 3>saying Michael told him he had killed two old gay guys.

193
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.600
<v Speaker 3>It bashed their brains in. He said he killed them

194
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.679
<v Speaker 3>because the man had discovered he had been stealing from them.

195
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 3>Remember the whole ordeal of sending Eric's mail to another address.

196
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.799
<v Speaker 3>Michael had been opening Eric's mail, casing any disability checks

197
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.720
<v Speaker 3>he received, and opening credit cards in Eric's name it

198
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.480
<v Speaker 3>would see Milton. Eric also discovered Michael had been using

199
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 3>them fraudulently, and they had confronted Michael about a month

200
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 3>before they were murdered. Michael Brown was found guilty of

201
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:32.039
<v Speaker 3>murder and sentenced to one hundred and twenty years of

202
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 3>prison time, sixty years for each murder, to be served consecutively,

203
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:42.399
<v Speaker 3>one right after the other. He is not eligible for

204
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:46.799
<v Speaker 3>parole until twenty sixty nine, at the ripe old age

205
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.679
<v Speaker 3>of one hundred and seventeen years old. He's already seventy

206
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.559
<v Speaker 3>four is of this recording, and I hope he's being

207
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.759
<v Speaker 3>treated as gently in prison as he treated his victims.

208
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 3>Milton Eric, Rest in power, Milton Eric. Older people, children

209
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:10.559
<v Speaker 3>and animals. These are my biggest peeves when they're treated poorly,

210
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:17.639
<v Speaker 3>abused and scammed. Our true crime Quickie is from British Columbia, Canada.

211
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:22.559
<v Speaker 3>In twenty twelve, twenty six year old trans woman January

212
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.279
<v Speaker 3>Marie Lapouse was a sex worker in her hometown of

213
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.480
<v Speaker 3>New Westminster, British Columbia. January was a woman of color.

214
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.519
<v Speaker 3>Her last name would derive from Tagalig and she was

215
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.399
<v Speaker 3>born in the Philippines but came to live in Canada.

216
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.960
<v Speaker 3>She's been described as a bright light in her LGBTQ community.

217
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.559
<v Speaker 3>She was well liked and she had a very kind

218
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:53.200
<v Speaker 3>hearted soul. January was deeply involved in anti bullying initiatives

219
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.679
<v Speaker 3>and she took to speaking at high schools to combat

220
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:02.200
<v Speaker 3>homophobia and transphobia. Now, Canada differs a little than the

221
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:06.360
<v Speaker 3>United States as far as sex work is concerned. It

222
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.519
<v Speaker 3>is not illegal to sell sex, but it is illegal

223
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 3>to buy it, advertise it, or materially benefit from it,

224
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:19.799
<v Speaker 3>like say a pimp. Wood the night of September twenty nine,

225
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:24.279
<v Speaker 3>twenty twelve, January had a client named Charles Nil arrived

226
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.799
<v Speaker 3>at her home. In their initial contact at the home,

227
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.720
<v Speaker 3>January had removed Charles' shoes in his pants, but as

228
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.960
<v Speaker 3>they began discussing the costs of their encounter, things took

229
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:43.759
<v Speaker 3>a downward spiral. Charles overreacted in an explosive and violent tirade,

230
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:48.919
<v Speaker 3>with Charles lashing out at her. January, who was terrified,

231
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.080
<v Speaker 3>found a pair of scissors to defend herself, and she

232
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.080
<v Speaker 3>jabbed Charles's left hand as he swung it at her.

233
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.279
<v Speaker 3>Then Charles located a knife to which he stabbed January

234
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.960
<v Speaker 3>in her face, her neck, her chest, and her torso,

235
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.440
<v Speaker 3>killing her as she bled out from the wounds. Her

236
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:12.080
<v Speaker 3>neighbors witnessed the immediate aftermath of the attack because they

237
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:16.960
<v Speaker 3>saw Charles kneeling over January with a blood stained knife.

238
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:19.840
<v Speaker 3>Charles jumped up from the scene and he fled out

239
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:24.440
<v Speaker 3>the door, but not before he inflicted eighteen stab wounds

240
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:30.720
<v Speaker 3>unto January. Eventually, months later, police were able to track

241
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:36.519
<v Speaker 3>down Charles nil. At his trial, Charles pleaded guilty to manslaughter,

242
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.519
<v Speaker 3>and he was subsequently sentenced to a mere eight years

243
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:46.399
<v Speaker 3>for taking the life of January Lapoose. You know, I say,

244
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:50.440
<v Speaker 3>why do you bother with encountering a sex worker? If

245
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.279
<v Speaker 3>you're just gonna get all irrational over the cost, those

246
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.279
<v Speaker 3>cheap motherfuckers should just jerk it at home and they're

247
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:01.279
<v Speaker 3>dissatisfied for paying for it. Sex workers got to earn

248
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:05.119
<v Speaker 3>a living, pay the rent, and eat too. If you remember,

249
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:08.880
<v Speaker 3>several episodes ago, another trans woman was murdered because a

250
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:13.119
<v Speaker 3>marine couldn't ejaculate and he wanted his eighteen dollars back

251
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:17.119
<v Speaker 3>from a blowjob you paid for. I think it's just ridiculous.

252
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:20.119
<v Speaker 3>Don't request the service if you can't pay for it.

253
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.480
<v Speaker 3>If a landscaper comes over and gives you a price

254
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 3>for mowing your lawn and you fill it's too high priced,

255
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:31.680
<v Speaker 3>you move on. You don't kill the landscaper. Most likely

256
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:35.359
<v Speaker 3>you get another estimate from a different landscaper. Some of

257
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:39.480
<v Speaker 3>these men are such fools. Anyway, let's look for some

258
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:43.039
<v Speaker 3>good news in the LGBT two world this week. It's

259
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:46.400
<v Speaker 3>been a few weeks. Hopefully we have something by now.

260
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:50.839
<v Speaker 3>A trans person was announced to host the Miss Universe

261
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:55.279
<v Speaker 3>Philippines pageant this year. It'll be drag Race Royal team

262
00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Marina summers Nice. New Zealand announced that gay men and

263
00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:05.599
<v Speaker 3>bisexual men will soon be allowed to donate blood. Good.

264
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if they stop being allowed to when the

265
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:14.119
<v Speaker 3>AIDS epidemic hit, which means it was a long time ago. Next,

266
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Botswana in South Africa will be lifting its antisodomy band

267
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 3>from their penal codes, which is a human rights victory.

268
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 3>Funny how it's called penal codes sounds very sexual. And lastly,

269
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:32.279
<v Speaker 3>the Supreme Court declined to take up a case that

270
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.160
<v Speaker 3>would have allowed schools to force the outing of trans students.

271
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.000
<v Speaker 3>This is a significant win. Now I leave you with

272
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:46.039
<v Speaker 3>a couple of dirty riddles. First one, I am spread

273
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:51.000
<v Speaker 3>out before being eaten. Your tongue gets me off. Sometimes

274
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:54.680
<v Speaker 3>people lick my nuts. What am I? I'll give you

275
00:18:54.680 --> 00:19:00.519
<v Speaker 3>a few seconds, peanut butter and the That's what I

276
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.839
<v Speaker 3>have for you all day long. It's in and out.

277
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:08.960
<v Speaker 3>I discharge loads from my shaft. Both men and women

278
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:16.279
<v Speaker 3>go down on me. What am I an elevator? Okay,

279
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker 3>that's it for me. I love you, guys, and you

280
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:23.720
<v Speaker 3>matters so very much. Remember it's not a crime to be.

281
00:19:23.720 --> 00:20:00.839
<v Speaker 4>Gay or to live your truth unless you're a murderer.

282
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.720
<v Speaker 4>To stop. Stop
