Full Transcript for The Brutally Batted Bartender - West Liberty, Iowa - Part 1

--> 00:04:03.400 So this would technically be West Liberty. You'd have to 70 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.979 skip a couple states to get there, but it's west apparently. Oh, 71 00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:08.759 it's super west. Yeah, there's two states over, but it's there. 72 00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:12.060 It's almost called California West New York. 73 00:04:12.180 --> 00:04:14.840 Well, it could have been anything. Yeah, I heard West 74 00:04:14.870 --> 00:04:17.230 Nebraska was kicked around a little bit, but they decided 75 00:04:17.310 --> 00:04:21.699 against it. 50 minutes to Cedar Rapids, about three hours 76 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.279 to Chicago, and about three hours and 45 minutes to 77 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.860 our last Iowa episode, which was early Iowa. That was cold-blooded, quote, hero, 78 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.300 that episode, episode 687. That's a fun, twisty one, so 79 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.899 check that out. It's a regular-length episode. This is in 80 00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:41.560 Muscatine County, area code, we all know old Muscatine County, 81 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:49.560 area code 319, population here 3,847. Very small. Small little 82 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.120 town here. Median household income, a little below the national average. 83 00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:58.319 It's $ 58, 488, so not too high, but lucky for everybody there, 84 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.920 the housing is about half of the rest of the country, too. 85 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.970 Very cheap. Yeah. Median home cost here, $ 180, 600. Wow. Yeah. 86 00:05:04.990 --> 00:05:09.670 With $ 60, 000 a year, you could actually afford that house, 87 00:05:09.689 --> 00:05:12.589 so that's not bad. A little bit of history. It 88 00:05:12.629 --> 00:05:24.319 was first known as the Wapasana Village. Wapasoniak. Wapasoniak. Wapasoniak. Noniak. Noniak. 89 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.279 You're getting there. Something like that. I'll hand this to 90 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.300 you and see what you do with it. I'm not 91 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.620 going to get there. You are. No, I'm not even there. 92 00:05:33.670 --> 00:05:35.860 I'm not there either. That's the point. I'm nowhere near it. 93 00:05:35.870 --> 00:05:41.470 Native American language is so confusing because there's so many S's, P's, N's. 94 00:05:41.509 --> 00:05:46.269 Yeah. A lot of times it's like Japanese, though. It's 95 00:05:46.290 --> 00:05:48.939 pretty phonetic. But this is just a hard one for 96 00:05:48.949 --> 00:05:54.240 me for some reason. It means smooth surfaced meandering stream. 97 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.980 So that was the original town. It was the first 98 00:05:58.019 --> 00:06:01.100 village was located a little northwest of the present day town. 99 00:06:01.459 --> 00:06:03.779 And it was laid out by a guy named Simon Bagley. 100 00:06:04.379 --> 00:06:08.050 His niece, Louisa, they let her name the town. They 101 00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:11.240 let her name the post office. For some reason. Let's 102 00:06:11.269 --> 00:06:13.060 let a kid name it. And she said they wanted 103 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.600 it to be West Liberty because she liked Liberty, Ohio. 104 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.220 So this is what happens when you let a nine-year-old 105 00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:23.480 name your team. You end up with this. They want 106 00:06:23.500 --> 00:06:25.800 to name it Liberty. We can't do that. At least 107 00:06:25.819 --> 00:06:27.720 they didn't, like, name it after their puppy or something. 108 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.279 You know what I mean? Kids want to name, like, 109 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.699 weird things. Or Donald Rupert. Let your four-year-old name the 110 00:06:33.740 --> 00:06:36.649 dog and see what the fuck that's– I've seen that 111 00:06:36.709 --> 00:06:39.089 before where you're like, what's your dog's name? They're like, 112 00:06:39.189 --> 00:06:41.750 I let my four-year-old name in. Oh, okay. Yeah. 113 00:06:41.769 --> 00:06:46.389 I have friends that have a dog named Tartar Sauce 114 00:06:46.750 --> 00:06:47.689 because of that same reason. 115 00:06:48.009 --> 00:06:49.850 Yeah. That's what I mean. You let the kid. Tartar Sauce. 116 00:06:49.870 --> 00:06:51.389 You should go. You can name the kid. And they go, 117 00:06:51.470 --> 00:06:53.970 Tartar Sauce? And you go, never mind. Never mind. Get 118 00:06:53.990 --> 00:06:55.149 the hell out of here. We're going to name the 119 00:06:55.209 --> 00:07:00.029 dog a name. We'll handle it. Yeah. Reviews of this town. Okay. 120 00:07:00.509 --> 00:07:03.930 Here are two that are extremely similar, and I don't 121 00:07:03.949 --> 00:07:05.009 understand either one of them. 122 00:07:05.170 --> 00:07:05.269 Okay. 123 00:07:05.290 --> 00:07:13.980 Okay. Five stars. It's a very Pacific town. P-A-S-I-F-I-C. Pacific? 124 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:18.180 Do they mean Pacific? We'll get there. It's a very 125 00:07:18.259 --> 00:07:23.129 Pacific town with no disturbances. People are friendly and kind. Furthermore, 126 00:07:23.230 --> 00:07:26.639 rent is affordable. There's also a turkey plant, which offers 127 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.560 a lot of jobs for newcomers in town. We all 128 00:07:29.579 --> 00:07:33.579 know that parting out poultry is the job everyone desires. 129 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.120 I get it. You need a job. You need a job. 130 00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:37.860 But that's not like a, you know, oh, my career. 131 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.339 I can't wait to do that. That's a rough, gross job. 132 00:07:40.899 --> 00:07:45.560 It's a hard job. Field foul slaughterhouse. Yeah, that's a dirty, nasty, 133 00:07:45.610 --> 00:07:48.129 gross job. It's tough. It's a tough one. Even though 134 00:07:48.149 --> 00:07:51.610 it's a small town, it offers great opportunities. for family 135 00:07:51.689 --> 00:07:55.230 entertainment such as public parks and a small affordable theater. 136 00:07:56.329 -->

00:07:59.569 Now here's another five-star one from a year apart, so 137 00:07:59.589 --> 00:08:02.230 they're not even like next to each other. It's a 138 00:08:02.290 --> 00:08:06.829 very Pacific place to live. And this is spelled like 139 00:08:06.850 --> 00:08:09.029 the ocean with a C instead of an S like 140 00:08:09.050 --> 00:08:12.269 the other person. It's a very, I don't know. And 141 00:08:12.290 --> 00:08:14.490 I tried to figure it out. It's just these two 142 00:08:14.550 --> 00:08:18.310 people with very friendly people habitating. It has tons of 143 00:08:18.430 --> 00:08:22.430 trees around its house. with makes, with makes the town 144 00:08:22.470 --> 00:08:26.990 look beautiful during spring and fall. It is safe and quiet. Furthermore, 145 00:08:27.069 --> 00:08:30.199 it has nice places to go have fun at, such 146 00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:33.820 as a small theater, car races, several restaurants that have 147 00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:38.559 delicious food. That person, lots of small words. That's a 148 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:43.840 person who named their dog tartar sauce. Yeah. Um, three stars. 149 00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:46.950 Everything is connected, which I like, but of course, with 150 00:08:47.049 --> 00:08:52.799 preference kind of families. I, I, You got me. I 151 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.769 love this. What's going on? I don't know. I love 152 00:08:55.809 --> 00:08:59.190 the support with sports and the academic success, which I 153 00:08:59.250 --> 00:09:02.909 hope you didn't have because that would bode. Negate this 154 00:09:02.929 --> 00:09:06.610 whole thing. Exactly. Three stars here. It's a pretty small town. 155 00:09:06.750 --> 00:09:09.570 You can meet everyone and make easy connections with families. 156 00:09:10.350 --> 00:09:17.629 Too spensive. S-P-E-N-S-I-V-E. Too spensive to be a small town. 157 00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:21.740 but is a quiet town with great sport support for 158 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:26.379 our students. You need to get English support for your students. 159 00:09:26.450 --> 00:09:30.750 Fuck sports. What is happening? It's got to be specific. 160 00:09:30.809 --> 00:09:32.370 It's got to be the other word they're trying to use. 161 00:09:32.710 --> 00:09:36.620 But two different people. Said Pacific and spelled it differently. 162 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.399 That's what I didn't get to. When I saw the 163 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.179 first one, I said, yeah, that's what I thought too. 164 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:41.500 But then I saw the other one. I'm like, no, 165 00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:47.299 this is crazy. Things to do here. The Muscatine County Fair, everybody. Yeah. 166 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:49.500 Let's do it. By the way, I went to the 167 00:09:49.570 --> 00:09:51.370 Dutchess County Fair so I could help make fun of 168 00:09:51.409 --> 00:09:53.730 it on the show here. And it was worth it. 169 00:09:53.789 --> 00:09:56.210 There was a guy. I went with Sarah and we 170 00:09:56.230 --> 00:09:58.549 did the squirty things. We were just having fun. We 171 00:09:58.570 --> 00:10:00.679 were going around eating hot dogs. Yeah. looking at cows 172 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.440 and shit. Those are a scam somehow and I don't 173 00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:04.620 know how. We did the square and we're like, yeah, yeah, 174 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:06.940 we'll do it. We sit down and they're like, oh, 175 00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:08.899 we need like three more people before we can start. 176 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.100 We're like, okay. So then we sat there for 10 177 00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:14.870 minutes while this guy– carnies need to– dude, carnies used 178 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.149 to be good. They used to be like, hey, come 179 00:10:16.169 --> 00:10:17.610 over here. I can win that lady a prize. Come 180 00:10:17.649 --> 00:10:19.929 on over here. They'd give their pitch. This guy was 181 00:10:19.990 --> 00:10:25.149 literally going, we need three more people. Come on. Come on, guys. 182 00:10:25.610 --> 00:10:28.110 We need three more people. And Sarah and I are 183 00:10:28.149 --> 00:10:29.860 looking at each other like, this is the worst pitch 184 00:10:29.889 --> 00:10:32.580 of all time. Give us the stuffed animal. We'll fucking 185 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:34.299 do the pitch. But it took a while before we 186 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:35.590 actually did it. 187 00:10:35.620 --> 00:10:38.980 I did that with my daughter and my son. I 188 00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:42.289 won once. And then I kept sitting there trying to 189 00:10:42.309 --> 00:10:44.110 win again because I got two kids. I can't leave 190 00:10:44.169 --> 00:10:45.610 here with one fucking stuffed animal. 191 00:10:45.750 --> 00:10:47.669 Good luck. I'm going to be the worst dad ever. 192 00:10:48.090 --> 00:10:52.289 Eventually, I just bought all of the seats just so 193 00:10:52.309 --> 00:10:53.509 that my son could get a toy too. 194 00:10:53.529 --> 00:10:56.269 I was like, I can't leave with this. And they 195 00:10:56.289 --> 00:10:58.029 made me do like six rounds of it. And I 196 00:10:58.049 --> 00:11:00.049 kept losing. I'm like, you're scamming me. And I don't 197 00:11:00.090 --> 00:11:02.950 know how. I know it's making me really mad. I 198 00:11:03.269 --> 00:11:05.320 was like, watch, I'm going to scam you. I'm buying 199 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:06.879 all the seats. Give me a prize. 200 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.590 I'm going to scam you. Here's all my money. And 201 00:11:11.610 --> 00:11:14.340 they're like, boy, he sure did get us, didn't he? Boy, 202 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.440 did he pull one over on us. Man, he figured 203 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:21.399 it out, boy. We're going to have to start making 204 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:26.940 rules against that. You know what I mean? Anyway, this 205 00:11:27.019 --> 00:11:32.470 place has a queen and princess contest, which is always uncomfortable. 206 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.210 No

kings. No kings, no. Bacon buddies. Which is actually 207 00:11:37.250 --> 00:11:41.870 kind of nice. They get developmentally disabled children and they 208 00:11:41.990 --> 00:11:45.129 show pigs. They do the pigs in the pig show. They, like, 209 00:11:45.149 --> 00:11:47.110 teach them how to do it and they get into it. Oh, 210 00:11:47.129 --> 00:11:49.389 that's fun. That's a nice thing to do. It's really nice. 211 00:11:49.570 --> 00:11:50.570 I don't know. 212 00:11:51.169 --> 00:11:54.389 I hope they explain to those children that we're going 213 00:11:54.409 --> 00:11:55.350 to slaughter these. 214 00:11:57.370 --> 00:12:00.730 Like, you like bacon? They're bacon buddies. I'm sure they 215 00:12:00.750 --> 00:12:02.970 get the kind of, you know. I don't know how 216 00:12:03.250 --> 00:12:04.830 delayed you have to be, but you're going to get 217 00:12:04.870 --> 00:12:09.200 that reference, you know. Trailer race. There's a trailer race. 218 00:12:09.220 --> 00:12:11.299 I don't know. However that is. To get your house 219 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.659 and pull it on down. And a Bill Riley talent show. 220 00:12:14.779 --> 00:12:17.899 Not Bill O'Reilly. Bill Riley talent show. Don't know what 221 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:22.519 happens there. And the lineup musically will be Confederate Railroad, 222 00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:30.649 which that sounds. No. Wow. Okay. I'm not listening. Josh Ross. 223 00:12:31.549 --> 00:12:35.149 Sounds kind of plain. And Mark. Oh, God. Jesus Christ. 224 00:12:35.529 --> 00:12:38.980 I assume that's chestnut. I put Mark Chessbutt, which is 225 00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:44.379 not what it is. Mark Chessnut's good. How about Mark Chessbutt? 226 00:12:44.460 --> 00:12:49.399 Is he any good? You look like an old guy. Yeah. 227 00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:52.950 I feel like he's trying to think because there's a chestnut. 228 00:12:53.009 --> 00:12:54.649 I don't know if it's Mark Chessnut. It's got to 229 00:12:54.669 --> 00:12:57.610 be Mark Chessnut. That's who they've got to get. Who 230 00:12:57.649 --> 00:13:00.850 the fuck knows? Late 90s, early 2000s country singer. He's fine. Yeah, 231 00:13:00.870 --> 00:13:02.809 it's going to be that kind of thing. There's also 232 00:13:02.870 --> 00:13:07.509 the Great Plains Puppet Train Regional Puppet Festival. Know what 233 00:13:07.529 --> 00:13:11.580 they have there? Puppets? Fucking puppets. Moving on. Let's talk 234 00:13:11.620 --> 00:13:14.279 about some murder. Who cares? We're going to talk about puppets. 235 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.159 They do marionette shows. They literally have a workshop on 236 00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:21.139 shadow puppets there. A workshop on shadow puppets? Yes. To 237 00:13:21.179 --> 00:13:23.860 show you how to... Which is a great skill when 238 00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:25.679 you're eight and there's a film strip, but I don't 239 00:13:25.700 --> 00:13:27.830 think they show film strips anymore, so it's really a 240 00:13:27.870 --> 00:13:28.450 lost art at this point. 241 00:13:28.470 --> 00:13:30.889 There's a guy on Instagram that I watch that's amazing 242 00:13:30.970 --> 00:13:31.169 at it. 243 00:13:31.169 --> 00:13:35.149 Yeah. It's kind of fun. Okay. There you go. Maybe 244 00:13:35.190 --> 00:13:37.850 he's teaching a workshop. So that said, let's talk about 245 00:13:37.870 --> 00:13:40.450 some murder here. Let's do it. Let's talk about a 246 00:13:40.490 --> 00:13:50.139 young man first here. Corey Lee Wieneke. W-I-E-N-E-K-E. Corey. Corey's 247 00:13:50.179 --> 00:13:54.259 born March 25th, 1970. He's the only child of James 248 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.559 and Susan Weneke. He went to West Liberty High School, 249 00:13:58.980 --> 00:14:01.679 played center on the football team, was a starting center. 250 00:14:02.370 --> 00:14:05.210 He's only like 5'9, but he's over 200 pounds. He's 251 00:14:05.250 --> 00:14:08.610 a sturdy, thick dude. But not like a fat guy, 252 00:14:08.669 --> 00:14:11.289 just like a real thick guy. One of those little 253 00:14:11.950 --> 00:14:14.570 fireplug guys. The team went all the way to the 254 00:14:14.649 --> 00:14:24.159 Class AA semifinals. He graduated from high school in 88. 255 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:27.740 His dad said this about him. Corey was just like 256 00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:31.169 a big brother to everybody in the whole neighborhood. He's 257 00:14:31.210 --> 00:14:35.210 very good socially, and he's very kind of an outgoing guy, Corey. 258 00:14:35.549 --> 00:14:38.809 All right. Another friend said this. He was a fun guy. 259 00:14:38.909 --> 00:14:42.590 He was friendly, outgoing, charming. Everybody was his friend. I mean, 260 00:14:42.669 --> 00:14:46.230 I didn't know anybody that didn't like Corey. That's high 261 00:14:46.269 --> 00:14:49.570 school Corey. Nobody didn't like him. Good guy. Yeah. Now, 262 00:14:49.629 --> 00:14:53.289 his job when he graduates is– I don't think he 263 00:14:53.340 --> 00:14:56.460 went to college or anything. Instead, he worked at Wink's Tap, 264 00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:01.059 which is a bar that his family owns. His grandmother, Betty, 265 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.279 owns it. So it's kind of the– it's in downtown 266 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:10.700 West Liberty. It's the bar in downtown West Liberty. Wink's? Wink's. Wink, 267 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:16.570 like wink. Wink's Tap. Yeah, because it's Winnicky. I guess 268 00:15:16.629 --> 00:15:19.870 it's Winky probably. Yeah. He started there as a kid, 269 00:15:20.049 --> 00:15:22.269 you know, just doing the ice and that kind of shit. 270 00:15:22.350 --> 00:15:25.620 And then he ended up on his 18th birthday. Maybe 271 00:15:25.629 --> 00:15:27.220 that's the law in Iowa. I don't know. But that's 272 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.000 when he moved behind the bar when he was 18. Oh, yeah. 273 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:34.820 The bartender. And within by the time he's 21, he's like, 274 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.960 you know,

he's a hugely popular guy in town. He's 275 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.730 the bartender of the downtown bar. He serves your beers 276 00:15:40.789 --> 00:15:43.929 every night. Yeah. Everybody knows him. He works the late shift. 277 00:15:43.990 --> 00:15:47.470 So he's the guy that's there at closing time. Becomes 278 00:15:47.549 --> 00:15:52.889 real popular. He's got a– by 1992, he's bartending. He 279 00:15:52.990 --> 00:15:56.350 drives a blue Cadillac, a big old like a 70s 280 00:15:56.389 --> 00:15:58.850 Cadillac from what I gathered. Yeah. Like one of the 281 00:15:58.889 --> 00:16:01.960 boats like my grandmother had where the doors– when they slam, 282 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.360 they're like– like it sounds like a bank vault closing. Yeah. 283 00:16:05.460 --> 00:16:07.799 One of those. It's got a 454 in it. It's 284 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:12.799 a big one. Huge monster. So this– means everybody knows 285 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.299 his car it's a bright blue enormous cadillac so everyone 286 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:19.730 there's cory driving by you can't miss him basically um 287 00:16:19.929 --> 00:16:22.669 by 22 he's also into partying i mean he's a 288 00:16:22.710 --> 00:16:24.529 bartender and he works till two in the morning and 289 00:16:24.549 --> 00:16:28.190 he's into partying um he knows where they're at he 290 00:16:28.230 --> 00:16:31.129 smokes some weed uh he does some coke here and 291 00:16:31.149 --> 00:16:33.940 there too like some coke smoke some weed does some 292 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.960 drinking um And apparently, too, there's a bunch of different 293 00:16:37.980 --> 00:16:41.259 guys he gets drugs from. There's a guy named Slim Zamora, 294 00:16:41.500 --> 00:16:43.759 which is the best drug dealer name of all time. 295 00:16:45.090 --> 00:16:49.110 Slim Zamora? That sounds awesome. Not bad. Another guy, way 296 00:16:49.169 --> 00:16:53.110 less cool of a drug dealer name, Ken Hammond. That's 297 00:16:53.129 --> 00:16:56.100 not fun. That's like a sitcom, Dad. That's no fun. 298 00:16:57.659 --> 00:17:00.179 Slim at least sounds Mexican. He might get you good shit. 299 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.759 At least he's got a nickname. You know what I mean? Slim. 300 00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:06.660 Slim's got, you know, does so much coke, he's Slim. 301 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.019 I don't know, something. But then there's Otis Sanders, which 302 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:13.160 is kind of in between, as for a drug dealer name. 303 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:17.299 Not here nor there. Now, he's not really selling drugs 304 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:21.410 or anything, Corey, but he's the bartender that if you 305 00:17:21.650 --> 00:17:23.470 want something, he can make a phone call and get 306 00:17:23.490 --> 00:17:26.789 it for you. He's that guy. So he might make 20, 307 00:17:26.789 --> 00:17:29.009 he'll make an extra 20 bucks off an eight ball 308 00:17:29.049 --> 00:17:33.920 or something, but he's The bartender knows everything, everybody. The 309 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.099 bartenders have connections. I know there's a lot of– whenever 310 00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:39.859 I mention working in restaurants, people explain I work in 311 00:17:39.900 --> 00:17:42.789 a restaurant and I never had those experiences. Good for you. 312 00:17:43.289 --> 00:17:45.420 That's great. I'm sure you didn't. But every restaurant I 313 00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:48.349 ever worked at and I grew up working in restaurants 314 00:17:48.390 --> 00:17:52.809 and my family– like everybody there knows how to get 315 00:17:52.869 --> 00:17:55.150 drugs and does drugs. It's just one of those things. 316 00:17:55.369 --> 00:17:56.710 If you work until 2 in the morning, you tend 317 00:17:56.730 --> 00:18:00.609 to do– there's a difference. Yeah. Don't know why. You're 318 00:18:00.630 --> 00:18:00.970 just bored. 319 00:18:01.190 --> 00:18:03.750 There's a difference between working at an actual restaurant with 320 00:18:03.809 --> 00:18:07.950 a sous chef than working at fucking Panda Express. 321 00:18:07.990 --> 00:18:10.470 That's not a restaurant. No, no, that's not a restaurant. Well, 322 00:18:10.549 --> 00:18:14.210 it's a restaurant. Jesus, because I got yelled at for making. 323 00:18:14.259 --> 00:18:17.539 Never mind. Forget it. I'm not even going to bother. What? 324 00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:23.259 Not belittling your career. However, you know that it wasn't 325 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.039 your first choice. You didn't on career day. You didn't 326 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:27.640 say I'm going to work the fries. 327 00:18:28.470 --> 00:18:31.160 Yeah, exactly. You didn't say that. Thank you. You say 328 00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:33.940 it because they treat you like a special Olympian or something. 329 00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:38.279 They do. They do. They treat you like you're, he's 330 00:18:38.339 --> 00:18:39.220 brave to come out here. 331 00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:43.000 He's so brave to put himself out there. 332 00:18:43.019 --> 00:18:46.069 That's how they treat. It's fucking insane. Don't worry, guys. 333 00:18:46.109 --> 00:18:49.029 They don't parade me out with the bacon buddies. No. 334 00:18:49.069 --> 00:18:53.289 You got to get Jimmy a bacon buddy is what 335 00:18:53.309 --> 00:18:56.250 it sounds like sometimes. I'm like, stop treating Jimmy like that. 336 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:01.059 I like my own ass. He's a grown man, and 337 00:19:01.099 --> 00:19:03.980 he's a dick sometimes, too, unlike Special Olympians, which is 338 00:19:04.029 --> 00:19:06.170 why I love him. That's the point. That's why I 339 00:19:06.210 --> 00:19:08.450 love you, because you're a dick sometimes, and that's great. 340 00:19:09.369 --> 00:19:10.170 That makes me laugh. 341 00:19:10.509 --> 00:19:14.250 It's so nice. I get a pass a lot. 342 00:19:15.230 --> 00:19:17.130 Yeah, yeah. They treat you like, well, Jimmy doesn't know 343 00:19:17.170 --> 00:19:20.299 any better.

It's like, what are you talking about? He's 344 00:19:20.380 --> 00:19:25.799 an ass. technically he has finished a higher level of 345 00:19:25.859 --> 00:19:31.109 education than I have. So make me the guy who 346 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:33.109 doesn't know any better. It's more fun. I think it 347 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.690 sounds like just because I have to talk and it's like, 348 00:19:37.730 --> 00:19:39.650 I don't want to do all this talking. This is just, 349 00:19:39.750 --> 00:19:43.829 I read better. I'm sorry. So anyway, back to this. 350 00:19:44.269 --> 00:19:51.359 I'm real bad at that. Corey, ran also a little 351 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.819 gambling operation out of Winx as well. Corey's making a 352 00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:57.460 buck or two here where he can. He's a small-town bartender. 353 00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:02.089 He's also got some girlfriends here, let's talk about. First 354 00:20:02.130 --> 00:20:05.789 of all. Several, huh? Well, here's one named Jody Hotz. 355 00:20:05.950 --> 00:20:09.130 She's 22 and 92, same age as him. She and 356 00:20:09.150 --> 00:20:11.509 Corey went to school together, started dating when they were 357 00:20:11.549 --> 00:20:14.450 like 17. She works at a bank in Iowa City. 358 00:20:15.450 --> 00:20:17.269 He works nights, so they don't really see each other 359 00:20:17.289 --> 00:20:23.430 that often. But the fall, earlier into the fall of 91, 360 00:20:23.430 --> 00:20:26.019 they announced their engagement. She had an engagement ring on, 361 00:20:26.819 --> 00:20:30.559 so they're engaged. It's a great relationship. Yeah. They live 362 00:20:30.579 --> 00:20:33.099 in a small two-bedroom house on a piece of land 363 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.000 on on a gravel road about three miles outside of 364 00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.789 West Liberty, um, that her father owned. So they're, you know, 365 00:20:39.930 --> 00:20:43.069 not really worried about the rent. Um, you know, it 366 00:20:43.089 --> 00:20:45.670 was kind of not a great, kind of a fallen 367 00:20:45.690 --> 00:20:47.970 apart kind of a house, but you're both 22. It's 368 00:20:47.990 --> 00:20:50.170 your first place. Who cares? I lived in a horrible 369 00:20:50.210 --> 00:20:53.359 apartment when I was that age. So the other thing though, 370 00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:56.500 he has at least four relationships going on. That's the problem. 371 00:20:56.579 --> 00:21:00.640 Sexual relationships. Wow. Oh, he gets around the small town. Um, 372 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.579 Later on, a police officer will say there was Hotz. 373 00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:07.740 That's Jody, the one he was with there, H-O-T-Z. A 374 00:21:07.789 --> 00:21:13.150 woman named Wendy Marshall. A woman named Annette. And then 375 00:21:13.190 --> 00:21:16.130 there's also a fourth relationship, too, that we'll talk about here. 376 00:21:16.970 --> 00:21:21.230 The thing is Jody knows about all this shit. Jody 377 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:24.559 seems

to know he's Tom Cat and around West Liberty. Yeah. 378 00:21:25.420 --> 00:21:25.640 Awesome. 379 00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:28.740 Yeah. She knew there was another woman, other women, and 380 00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:31.319 she was still planning the wedding. She thought, oh, this 381 00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:33.480 is just him getting his wild oats. And then once 382 00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:35.420 we get married, he'll settle down and we'll have kids. 383 00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:36.660 It's like John Lovitz. 384 00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:37.240 Yeah. 385 00:21:37.589 --> 00:21:40.869 Just slaying it. Just slaying it. We had a long 386 00:21:40.930 --> 00:21:44.150 John Lovitz conversation before the show. That's a fun joke 387 00:21:44.170 --> 00:21:45.589 for us. And you're like, what are you talking about? 388 00:21:46.549 --> 00:21:49.470 Other people don't know. John's done well. He's done well. 389 00:21:50.210 --> 00:21:54.089 There's also Wendy Marshall, Wendy with an I. She's 20 390 00:21:54.089 --> 00:22:00.369 at this point. In July of 92, she gave birth 391 00:22:00.410 --> 00:22:05.799 to a daughter. Guess who the father is? Is it Wieneke? 392 00:22:06.150 --> 00:22:12.880 It's Corey. Yeah, Wieneke. He did not formally acknowledge paternity, 393 00:22:13.539 --> 00:22:15.740 and his interactions with the baby were limited. So he 394 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:19.960 was saying, I don't think that's my kid, basically. Really? Yeah. Now, 395 00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:24.640 Wendy wanted a future with him, and she was, you know, 396 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:28.240 really like she thought they were having a relationship. And 397 00:22:28.259 --> 00:22:30.200 we're going to, you know, we have a baby. Things 398 00:22:30.220 --> 00:22:35.029 are going to happen. Then there is the mystery woman, 399 00:22:35.089 --> 00:22:37.230 and we think the mystery woman is a woman named 400 00:22:37.309 --> 00:22:42.329 Missy Morrison, who was married to a farmer named Bob Morrison, 401 00:22:42.650 --> 00:22:48.180 who lived near where Corey and Jody live. So he 402 00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:51.740 comes to them at the bar. Yeah, or shit. It's 403 00:22:51.779 --> 00:22:54.059 just some local farm wife from down the road from him. 404 00:22:54.339 --> 00:22:57.720 So who knows? Well, they did meet at the bar, though. 405 00:22:57.769 --> 00:23:00.849 She would frequent local bars and have affairs with younger men. 406 00:23:01.390 --> 00:23:03.450 The farmer's wife is coming in from the fields. That 407 00:23:03.509 --> 00:23:07.210 a girl. Yep. One of them, according to a witness, 408 00:23:07.289 --> 00:23:11.519 was Corey. So if there's a woman around throwing it 409 00:23:11.579 --> 00:23:13.529 around to everybody, Corey's going to catch a piece of it. 410 00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:14.740 Put it that way. He's going to be one of 411 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:16.759 the guys. Corey's going to reel in some. Yeah. Sure. 412 00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:20.730 Then there is Annette D. Hazen. D is not the 413 00:23:21.390 --> 00:23:26.569 initial D. It's D-E-E. Annette D. Hazen. Later on, McCrab. 414 00:23:26.609 --> 00:23:30.089 Later on, Cahill. So lots of names for her. She's 415 00:23:30.109 --> 00:23:33.599 done well, too. Yeah. Well, she's not doing too great here. 416 00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.599 She's about seven years older than Corey. All right. So 417 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.420 she's the older lady, which is 29. Not an old 418 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.180 lady by any stretch. She had been married and divorced 419 00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:48.559 and has two kids at this point. So totally different 420 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.730 life than Corey at this point. After the divorce, she 421 00:23:51.789 --> 00:23:55.369 moved in with her brother, Denny Hazen, and his wife, Jackie, 422 00:23:55.750 --> 00:23:58.150 with a Q, by the way. I was calling her 423 00:23:58.190 --> 00:24:03.720 Jacques in my head the whole time. I'm like, it's 424 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.099 her brother Jacques. And then I'm like, wait, Denny? Jacques 425 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:09.240 is married to a chick named Denny? And then I'm like, wait, 426 00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:21.140 that's Jackie. They... J-A-C-Q-U-E. That's Jacques. That's Jacques. That's Jacques, right? 427 00:24:22.369 --> 00:24:25.470 That's what I thought. Look up Cousteau. 428 00:24:25.549 --> 00:24:28.269 I'm pretty sure that's exactly how you spell it. 429 00:24:28.829 --> 00:24:32.109 It's more Jacques than Jackie. I'll tell you that much. 430 00:24:32.789 --> 00:24:38.000 Is it Jack-ay? Jacques-you, I'll call her. I don't know. 431 00:24:39.009 --> 00:24:43.720 So he lives with Denny and Jacque in their two-story 432 00:24:43.900 --> 00:24:46.619 farmhouse a few miles from West Liberty. She brings her 433 00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:49.759 kids to live there. She and Jacque become close. The 434 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.980 sister-in-law is here. They like each other. Now, she worked 435 00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:58.380 basically when she needed money, Annette. She doesn't really have 436 00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:01.380 a career or anything going on. Yeah, I don't know. 437 00:25:01.589 --> 00:25:03.990 But she doesn't have a real steady career. She worked 438 00:25:04.029 --> 00:25:07.230 at Winx on and off. She would open some mornings. 439 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:09.339 She would cover some shifts here and there, but she's 440 00:25:09.380 --> 00:25:12.400 not like a staple. And she went out at night 441 00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:14.960 and hung out and partied. She liked to drink and 442 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.990 do coke. That's her jam, Annette. Yeah, she sounds fun. 443 00:25:20.089 --> 00:25:24.970 An investigator said Annette was living day to day, going 444 00:25:25.029 --> 00:25:28.539 to work when you needed money, going out at night, partying, 445 00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:33.200 still trying to live that lifestyle that Corey's living. The 446 00:25:33.220 -->

00:25:37.220 20-year-old stuff. Yeah. Corey's 22. That's the difference. You're not. 447 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.329 You're almost 30 and you have two kids. So it's interesting, though. 448 00:25:41.750 --> 00:25:44.549 Other thing about Annette, she's never been, despite kind of 449 00:25:44.710 --> 00:25:46.710 going out at night, drinking, doing a little coke here 450 00:25:46.750 --> 00:25:49.029 and there, she's never been arrested for anything or anything 451 00:25:49.069 --> 00:25:53.519 like that. She's not. Okay. Keeps it between the white lines. Yeah. Now, 452 00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:56.259 the thing about her is, this is why I was 453 00:25:56.299 --> 00:25:59.500 kind of like, that's not that great here. They knew 454 00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.460 each other, she and Corey, before she came to work 455 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:06.269 at the bar. That's because she met Corey when he 456 00:26:06.309 --> 00:26:10.750 was 16 and she was 23. Oh, how'd they do that? 457 00:26:11.250 --> 00:26:13.930 They were fucking. She said they didn't have sex at 458 00:26:13.990 --> 00:26:16.230 that point, which I'm not sure about, but they just 459 00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:20.400 messed around. In other words, I molested the 16-year-old is 460 00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:21.079 what she's saying. 461 00:26:22.019 --> 00:26:26.279 A 23-year-old was hanging out with romantic ideas? 462 00:26:26.299 --> 00:26:29.779 Yes. With a 16-year-old, yeah. I mean, for the guy– 463 00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:33.630 if you're 16, you'd think that's jackpot times a 23-year-old. 464 00:26:33.710 --> 00:26:40.589 But also, if you're 23, that's pretty pathetic, honestly. That's sad. Incredibly. Incredibly. 465 00:26:40.609 --> 00:26:43.309 Either way, whether– No matter which way the sexes go, 466 00:26:43.369 --> 00:26:45.410 obviously with the male, that's fucking disgusting. 467 00:26:45.470 --> 00:26:52.369 But it's really fucking pathetic. Get a life. Yeah. You're 468 00:26:52.390 --> 00:26:54.829 not going to fuck a 16-year-old boy's psyche up by 469 00:26:54.849 --> 00:26:58.109 fucking him. That's not. You're just not. We've been. And 470 00:26:58.150 --> 00:27:02.190 people go, oh, yeah. No. Maybe some. We've been 16-year-old boys. 471 00:27:02.809 --> 00:27:05.170 There is very little that anyone could do to you 472 00:27:05.230 --> 00:27:07.490 that your friends already haven't done to you. You know 473 00:27:07.509 --> 00:27:11.150 what I'm saying? To make you feel awful. Yeah. Your 474 00:27:11.230 --> 00:27:12.930 friends are there to kick you in the balls when 475 00:27:12.970 --> 00:27:13.539 you're feeling good. 476 00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.339 The majority of 16-year-old boys are trying to put that 477 00:27:18.420 --> 00:27:19.880 in something already. 478 00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:22.160 And a 23-year-old. We don't care how old she is. 479 00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:24.299 That's great. Yeah, that's terrific. 480 00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:26.650 Fuck if she's 55. I'm trying to put it in 481 00:27:26.730 --> 00:27:27.930 something and see what it's like. 482 00:27:28.230 --> 00:27:35.329 Younger than your mom. Awesome, basically. You wouldn't care. Perfect. 483 00:27:35.369 --> 00:27:39.750 There you go. So, but this is, it shows poor 484 00:27:39.849 --> 00:27:43.009 judgment on anyone who's 23 and has any sort of 485 00:27:43.049 --> 00:27:46.130 relationship with a 16-year-old, never mind the legalities of it 486 00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:49.019 or just the moral grossness of the whole thing. It's 487 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.420 just fucking bizarre. Yeah. Then three years later, once he's 488 00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.140 like 19, it became an on-again, off-again thing where they 489 00:27:56.180 --> 00:27:59.339 would fuck here and there, basically. By 92, they're fucking 490 00:27:59.380 --> 00:28:02.680 pretty consistently. So he's got living with a chick he's 491 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:06.119 engaged to, banging some broad he has a kid with, 492 00:28:06.500 --> 00:28:08.740 He's got this one and also the farmer's wife when 493 00:28:08.789 --> 00:28:10.569 she comes in from the fields once in a while. 494 00:28:11.410 --> 00:28:17.250 Corey is dipping his wick, my friends. Uh, so the, um, summer, 495 00:28:17.329 --> 00:28:20.950 fall 92, he and Annette are having sex several times 496 00:28:20.990 --> 00:28:24.200 a week at the bar in cars in an apartment 497 00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:28.099 above the bar at the farmhouse at her brother's farmhouse. 498 00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:32.160 She lives in, they drink, they do Coke together. You know, 499 00:28:32.299 --> 00:28:38.210 they're having a good time. Um, So by fall of 1992, 500 00:28:38.210 --> 00:28:41.230 here is the way it works. Wendy Marshall, the one 501 00:28:41.269 --> 00:28:45.920 he had a baby with, knows about Annette. Okay. Annette 502 00:28:45.980 --> 00:28:49.160 knows about Wendy Marshall as well. So they know about 503 00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:52.210 each other. Jody Hotz, the one he's living with and 504 00:28:52.250 --> 00:28:55.730 engaged to. had heard about both and sort of knew 505 00:28:55.769 --> 00:28:57.710 about both. So they all kind of know about each 506 00:28:57.750 --> 00:28:59.579 other at this point, which is not great. 507 00:28:59.619 --> 00:29:02.440 They should because he should be saying, I can't fuck 508 00:29:02.460 --> 00:29:05.599 yet because I just fucked in a house today. 509 00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:09.140 I'm raw. I'm down to life. I fucked in a car. 510 00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:12.140 I've taken two layers of skin off my penis and 511 00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:13.490 I feel like I need to let it heal for 512 00:29:13.529 --> 00:29:19.269 a minute. Wow. That's a virile young man. 22-year-old. You 513 00:29:19.289 --> 00:29:21.789 know what I mean? That's what it's about. Does it 514 00:29:21.809 --> 00:29:24.700 ever stop? He's out and you're looking for everything. So 515 00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:28.599 later on, an

investigator summed up Corey saying, quote, he 516 00:29:28.619 --> 00:29:30.680 was involved in drugs. He was involved with a lot 517 00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:33.390 of different women. And some of these women even knew 518 00:29:33.450 --> 00:29:37.329 about each other, but some of them didn't. Wild style life, babe. 519 00:29:37.490 --> 00:29:43.200 All right. October 12th, 1992. Annette here opens Wink's Tap 520 00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:45.960 that morning. She opens the bar. She works a shift 521 00:29:46.220 --> 00:29:49.920 and then stays the rest of the night. All day. 522 00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:54.700 All night. So her whole day is this bar. Yep. Now, 523 00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:56.940 Corey came in to work the evening shift, and Annette 524 00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:59.240 stayed at the bar while he worked, and he drank. 525 00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:04.819 And basically she spent 14 hours inside this tavern that day. Now, 526 00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:07.420 her plan was the bar's going to close at 2, 527 00:30:07.420 --> 00:30:10.900 and then they're going to go hang out together. She 528 00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:14.779 tells people that they're going to move to Branson together 529 00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:19.019 next week is what she's telling people. Really? Okay, yeah. 530 00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:22.400 That's it. So she's thinking this is the last weekend 531 00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.599 she's going to spend in Iowa. We're going to Branson. 532 00:30:25.349 --> 00:30:28.009 She said that they were going to take off the 533 00:30:28.049 --> 00:30:31.240 following weekend. And that they were going to look for 534 00:30:31.339 --> 00:30:33.480 bars for sale in Branson, Missouri. 535 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:34.460 Oh, yeah. 536 00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:36.730 We're going to buy one. Yeah. She said, we had 537 00:30:36.789 --> 00:30:40.609 talked about skipping town. In fact, the following Monday, we 538 00:30:40.630 --> 00:30:43.349 were supposed to go or Saturday. I'm sorry. We were 539 00:30:43.369 --> 00:30:45.730 supposed to go to Branson to look at bars for sale. 540 00:30:46.190 --> 00:30:49.829 I love Corey deeply. I really, truly did. I didn't 541 00:30:49.869 --> 00:30:52.390 think it was going to last. To be perfectly honest, 542 00:30:52.410 --> 00:30:54.549 he was so much younger than me and he slept 543 00:30:54.589 --> 00:30:57.170 with anything that walked through the door. He wasn't for 544 00:30:57.309 --> 00:31:02.039 one person. No, a 22-year-old bartender is not the guy 545 00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:04.980 to marry. I'll tell you that right now. It's just not, 546 00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:06.119 you know. 547 00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:09.500 I just, I still don't understand a 22-year-old fresh out 548 00:31:09.539 --> 00:31:11.160 of college with a degree. 549 00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:12.980 I don't think that's the person to marry. I don't 550 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:15.789 think you should be getting married until you're after 30. 551 00:31:15.789 --> 00:31:17.250 It's just, it's, you. 552 00:31:17.069 --> 00:31:19.970 Don't, I assure you, you don't know who you are. 553 00:31:20.230 --> 00:31:21.910 And you sure as fuck shouldn't be having kids until 554 00:31:21.930 --> 00:31:24.839 you're after 30. I'll tell you that much. No. So, 555 00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:27.619 I mean, you can. I did. We both did. So 556 00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:29.880 this isn't like a, we're not judging anybody. This is 557 00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:33.140 more of a, from our experience, it's easier if you 558 00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:34.900 were over 30. Just put it that way. 559 00:31:34.910 --> 00:31:38.130 I was barely not 30, but I was still not 30. 560 00:31:38.130 --> 00:31:40.890 Yeah, not 30. Well, shit, you were in your mid-20s 561 00:31:40.910 --> 00:31:44.049 when your son was born. Were you 26? Your son's 18. Yes, 562 00:31:45.509 --> 00:31:52.829 you're 45. 28. I was 28 when he was born. 563 00:31:52.890 --> 00:31:53.430 All right. Yeah. 564 00:31:53.509 --> 00:31:56.609 I was like, that's okay. Wait, was I 27? I 565 00:31:56.650 --> 00:32:00.029 think you were 27 probably. And I, yeah, I was 566 00:32:00.029 --> 00:32:02.430 23 when my daughter was born. Yeah. Which was way 567 00:32:02.450 --> 00:32:05.390 too young. Yeah, I must've been 27. Cause that's 18. Yeah. 568 00:32:05.509 --> 00:32:08.210 He's 18. I know that. I was 23 and 28 569 00:32:08.210 --> 00:32:10.480 when my kids were born and you were like 27 570 00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:14.700 and 30, I think. So yeah, it's, yeah, that's exactly 571 00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:15.880 what it was. I know I was 30 when she 572 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:21.140 was born. I know that for sure. Yeah. So Corey, um, Apparently, 573 00:32:21.380 --> 00:32:24.109 the whole evening, Corey's treating her kind of shittily in 574 00:32:24.150 --> 00:32:29.250 the bar, basically. Late evening, October 12th, Annette is tanked. 575 00:32:29.490 --> 00:32:33.650 She's fucking hammered, everybody says. Multiple people. After work. Yeah, 576 00:32:33.690 --> 00:32:35.589 she's been in the bar since it opened. So, yeah, 577 00:32:35.650 --> 00:32:40.130 she's shit-faced. At some point before the closing of the bar, 578 00:32:40.190 --> 00:32:43.170 she left the bar. But she didn't go home. She 579 00:32:43.210 --> 00:32:46.109 went out to Corey's Cadillac, opened the passenger door, and 580 00:32:46.130 --> 00:32:48.890 just sat there and waited in the car for him. 581 00:32:48.910 --> 00:32:48.990 Okay. 582 00:32:49.009 --> 00:32:52.390 Okay. Um, so October 12th, this is the same night. Well, 583 00:32:52.430 --> 00:32:55.009 same night now, 2 a.m. So technically the 13th, but 584 00:32:55.089 --> 00:32:58.680 that night. Um, okay. The bar closes. Corey comes out 585 00:32:58.700 --> 00:33:01.140 of the bar with Wendy Marshall with them, the mother 586 00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:05.109 of his child. Yeah. Okay. Now, Wendy was going to, 587 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.269

they're leaving the bar together. They get to the car 588 00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:11.809 and there is fucking Annette sitting in the passenger seat. Now, 589 00:33:11.849 --> 00:33:13.769 luckily they all know about each other. So it's a 590 00:33:13.809 --> 00:33:16.349 little less awkward than it might've been. It's not who's 591 00:33:16.390 --> 00:33:20.049 this bitch. It's, oh, this bitch, which is better. Yeah, 592 00:33:20.069 --> 00:33:23.880 it's better than who she wouldn't leave. And that's it. 593 00:33:23.890 --> 00:33:29.250 I'm not getting out. So Corey says, OK, let's get in. 594 00:33:29.250 --> 00:33:31.799 When do you get in? We'll drive in at home 595 00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:35.279 first and then we'll do our thing. OK, so they're driving. 596 00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:38.900 They go down. Apparently, Annette said she was incredibly mad 597 00:33:38.940 --> 00:33:41.740 at this point. Super pissed. OK, because she thinks they're 598 00:33:41.779 --> 00:33:44.710 running away together. So they drive down the road a 599 00:33:44.730 --> 00:33:47.509 little bit. Annette reaches for the door handle, and she's 600 00:33:47.829 --> 00:33:50.990 acting like she's jumping out of the car while it's moving. Oh, boy. Like, 601 00:33:51.029 --> 00:33:54.009 I'm done here. So Corey stops the car. They get 602 00:33:54.170 --> 00:33:56.569 out on the side of some farm road in Iowa 603 00:33:56.609 --> 00:33:58.670 somewhere in the middle of the night and have a 604 00:33:58.730 --> 00:34:01.430 fucking screaming match with each other while Wendy sits in 605 00:34:01.450 --> 00:34:07.640 the back seat, which is even funnier. Okay. So they 606 00:34:07.660 --> 00:34:10.440 get done arguing. They get back in the car. Corey 607 00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:13.400 then drives Wendy Marshall back to her car, which is 608 00:34:13.460 --> 00:34:18.719 parked at Wink's Tap. And he tells, Annette's there too, 609 00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:20.960 and he tells Wendy, I will come to your house 610 00:34:21.059 --> 00:34:22.980 after I drop Annette off. I'm going to drop Annette 611 00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:23.420 off quick. 612 00:34:23.500 --> 00:34:23.800 Okay. 613 00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:28.139 So Corey drives Annette to the farmhouse where she lives, 614 00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:33.239 the Hazen farmhouse with her brother. Um, by Annette's description, 615 00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:36.030 she said, quote, we argued, got back in the car, 616 00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:39.309 took that girl, whoever she was. She had a child 617 00:34:39.369 --> 00:34:43.050 by Corey. That's who she was. You fucking know who 618 00:34:43.090 --> 00:34:45.869 she is too. You know her name. It's just, there's 619 00:34:45.869 --> 00:34:46.610 3000 people. Yeah. 620 00:34:47.250 --> 00:34:50.590 You just gave a very specific fact about her that 621 00:34:51.030 --> 00:34:52.489 makes it why being in his. 622 00:34:52.489 --> 00:34:57.510 Car is fine. Whoever she was random. Um, Dropped her 623 00:34:57.610 --> 00:35:00.010 off somewhere, drove back to the farm, and we had 624 00:35:00.130 --> 00:35:03.570 sex that night. I think it was angry sex. So 625 00:35:03.590 --> 00:35:05.800 they have angry farmhouse sex after that. 626 00:35:05.860 --> 00:35:11.440 He fucked a 14-hour post-14-hour shift drunk lady. 627 00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:14.920 He's like, that ought to shut her up. There, take that. 628 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:19.460 Take that. So about 3, 4 a.m., he leaves the farmhouse. 629 00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:22.159 Still doesn't go to get Wendy or go where his... 630 00:35:23.070 --> 00:35:26.409 Fiance is sleeping at his house. He instead then finds 631 00:35:26.489 --> 00:35:30.550 an after-hours birthday party for his friend. These people party 632 00:35:30.610 --> 00:35:32.630 in the middle of the night in Iowa, man. This 633 00:35:32.690 --> 00:35:36.320 is awesome. That's a level of partying I'm incapable of. 634 00:35:36.929 --> 00:35:40.840 That's wild. These days, yeah. He meets up with Slim 635 00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:43.079 Zamora at the party, too. He's there, one of his 636 00:35:43.099 --> 00:35:46.119 drug guys. Then he went to Wendy Marshall's apartment, as 637 00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:49.320 he promised, about 4 o'clock in the morning, woke her up, 638 00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.619 which I'm sure she was thrilled about, With pussy on 639 00:35:53.659 --> 00:35:56.440 his breath. That's what you want. Pussy on his breath 640 00:35:56.480 --> 00:36:01.239 and coke on his face. They talked. He didn't stay long. 641 00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:04.699 He left. Before he leaves, he puts a brown paper 642 00:36:04.739 --> 00:36:07.909 bag in her refrigerator. Inside the bag is a six-pack 643 00:36:07.949 --> 00:36:11.579 of beer and two shotgun shells. which I think just 644 00:36:11.659 --> 00:36:15.050 comes with a six-pack in Iowa. I'm not sure. Empty 645 00:36:15.179 --> 00:36:17.820 ones are, like, ready to be shot. No, no, no. 646 00:36:17.929 --> 00:36:22.309 Just ready to be shot. Unfired. Unfired shotgun shells with beer, 647 00:36:22.510 --> 00:36:24.550 all in the paper bag, put in the refrigerator for 648 00:36:24.590 --> 00:36:28.889 some reason. A couple of Winchesters. We never figure out 649 00:36:29.030 --> 00:36:31.469 why he has two shotgun shells in the refrigerator, by 650 00:36:31.489 --> 00:36:33.989 the way. That is the mystery of this entire story. Well, 651 00:36:34.050 --> 00:36:37.449 one of them. Okay. By 7 a.m., he gets home, 652 00:36:37.690 --> 00:36:40.630 lets himself in, gets in bed, and falls asleep next 653 00:36:40.650 --> 00:36:43.460 to his fiancée, who's waking up because she has to 654 00:36:43.500 --> 00:36:47.159 go to work at the bank. Holy. Now, during about 655 00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:50.420 this same time, four or five miles away, a guy 656 00:36:50.460 --> 00:36:53.769 named Lester McGowan pulls up and picks up Annette, okay? 657 00:36:54.409 --> 00:36:57.449 She slept for like two

hours, and she got in 658 00:36:57.510 --> 00:37:00.550 his truck and drove away. They drove to a roofing 659 00:37:00.630 --> 00:37:04.230 job site in West Liberty where Lester McGowan ran a 660 00:37:04.269 --> 00:37:06.849 roofing crew. By the way, he used to fuck Annette too. 661 00:37:07.050 --> 00:37:10.170 They used to have a relationship. This morning he picks 662 00:37:10.210 --> 00:37:13.449 her up and he takes her to do roofing work 663 00:37:13.550 --> 00:37:16.869 today for some reason. She just worked 14 hours. Well, 664 00:37:16.929 --> 00:37:19.269 work is a– yeah, she just drank and she did 665 00:37:19.309 --> 00:37:22.150 a lot. She's drank and filled cups for a while. 666 00:37:22.530 --> 00:37:24.469 This is the only day in her life that she's 667 00:37:24.489 --> 00:37:26.849 a roofer and she's a roofer today for some reason. 668 00:37:26.889 --> 00:37:29.860 She tears some shingles off a roof. Um, by the way, 669 00:37:29.940 --> 00:37:33.019 Lester was married to a woman named Cynthia, but his 670 00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:38.889 affair with Annette destroyed his marriage. So yeah. Okay. Well done. Now, 671 00:37:38.889 --> 00:37:44.090 8 a.m. Jody, Corey's fiance gets up, gets ready, takes off, uh, 672 00:37:44.250 --> 00:37:47.349 for the bank in Iowa city. All right. 830 to 673 00:37:47.349 --> 00:37:52.840 930 a.m. Annette's at the job site. Um, He was 674 00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.400 surprised to see a woman that he didn't know arrive 675 00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:58.449 to start doing roofing work. All the people like, who 676 00:37:58.469 --> 00:38:00.289 the fuck is this chick? Is she on our crew now? 677 00:38:00.889 --> 00:38:04.610 We're the guys in work boots. Yeah. So this guy 678 00:38:04.630 --> 00:38:07.809 was told teacher had to tear off a roof. She 679 00:38:07.829 --> 00:38:11.409 didn't know what she was doing. And basically, they said 680 00:38:11.429 --> 00:38:12.929 she spent about an hour and a half doing a 681 00:38:12.989 --> 00:38:15.190 shitty job of pulling shingles off a house. And then 682 00:38:15.230 --> 00:38:19.559 that was it for that. Now, about 9 a.m. A 683 00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:23.940 local farmer drives down the gravel road that Corey and 684 00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:27.679 Jody live on, passing their house on his way into 685 00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:31.369 West Liberty. He sees two people standing outside Jody and 686 00:38:31.409 --> 00:38:35.190 Corey's house next to a stopped vehicle, doesn't recognize either 687 00:38:35.269 --> 00:38:37.150 one of them, and doesn't really stare or anything. He 688 00:38:37.170 --> 00:38:39.630 just sees notes, two people, I don't know, and doesn't 689 00:38:39.650 --> 00:38:44.170 really get a good look. About 9.30, 10 a.m., something 690 00:38:44.210 --> 00:38:48.679 like that, Jacques arrives in her car, old Jacques A. 691 00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:52.420 After discovering a new crab today. 692 00:38:54.380 --> 00:38:57.539 Pulls up at the roofing job

site. Annette gets in 693 00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:00.179 and takes off. So she had her pick her up there. 694 00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:04.010 Jacques and Annette. This is according to Jacques and Annette, 695 00:39:04.570 --> 00:39:08.230 Jackie and Annette. They stopped by Corey's place on the 696 00:39:08.269 --> 00:39:11.929 way to Iowa City. Now, Jackie said Annette wanted to 697 00:39:11.969 --> 00:39:14.250 drop off a letter she had written or a book 698 00:39:14.309 --> 00:39:17.920 about something. Annette said she knocked on the door. Nobody answered. 699 00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:22.219 They left. They were there two minutes tops. Okay. Farmer. 700 00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:24.389 Remember that farmer who drove into Les Liberty? Well, now 701 00:39:24.409 --> 00:39:27.309 he's driving back up the road, Gravel Road. He didn't 702 00:39:27.329 --> 00:39:30.079 see anybody outside the house this time. But about, a 703 00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:33.019 half mile further along on the north edge of the road, 704 00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:38.480 he saw an aluminum softball bat lying in the gravel. Oh. Okay. 705 00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:41.480 It had not been there that morning. Oh. So all 706 00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:44.159 of a sudden there's a bat there. He didn't stop, though. 707 00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:46.570 He just remembered, oh, look, there's a bat. And maybe 708 00:39:46.590 --> 00:39:50.769 some kid dropped it. Who knows? Now, midday. In Iowa City. 709 00:39:51.550 --> 00:39:53.909 Annette and Jackie spent the middle of the day in 710 00:39:54.010 --> 00:39:57.510 Iowa City, about a half hour away. Jackie had a 711 00:39:57.550 --> 00:40:01.010 doctor's appointment for a knee problem and all this type 712 00:40:01.050 --> 00:40:04.369 of thing. Then after that, they went shopping, had various 713 00:40:05.110 --> 00:40:10.110 transactions around town. She did a three-day typewriter rental. Oh, 714 00:40:10.449 --> 00:40:12.250 I don't think that's been done in a long time. 715 00:40:12.590 --> 00:40:15.250 Three days? I'm going to rent a typewriter. It's a 716 00:40:15.269 --> 00:40:19.269 long time. Look, I got a novel in me. I 717 00:40:19.309 --> 00:40:20.969 just got to flesh it out. Flesh it out? 718 00:40:21.210 --> 00:40:21.889 I got to get it out. 719 00:40:22.090 --> 00:40:25.289 Yeah. Three days. 720 00:40:25.289 --> 00:40:27.190 72 hours with this typewriter is all I need. 721 00:40:27.210 --> 00:40:29.829 That should do it. I have a screenplay burning a 722 00:40:29.869 --> 00:40:31.550 hole in my fingertips. I need to get it out. 723 00:40:32.150 --> 00:40:34.610 I know I can get it out. Lightning speed. You 724 00:40:34.630 --> 00:40:37.800 can do it. Got lightning in these hands. I can 725 00:40:37.820 --> 00:40:40.940 do it. So they do the whole day. They have 726 00:40:41.260 --> 00:40:46.239 one receipt. time-stamped 125 or 145. It's not been established. 727 00:40:46.340 --> 00:40:49.449 So they're in Iowa City at that point. The knee

728 00:40:49.699 --> 00:40:52.469 for Jackie turned out to just be pulled muscles, and 729 00:40:52.530 --> 00:40:55.449 she ended up going shopping at multiple locations in Iowa 730 00:40:55.469 --> 00:41:00.309 City that afternoon. But Annette was doing the driving because 731 00:41:00.530 --> 00:41:04.369 it's her gas pedal knee that hurts. Okay. In the afternoon, 732 00:41:04.429 --> 00:41:07.230 Annette and Jackie drove back from Iowa City, they said, 733 00:41:07.309 --> 00:41:09.530 to be at the farmhouse when her children got home 734 00:41:09.570 --> 00:41:14.219 from school. Annette also described driving past Corey's area on 735 00:41:14.260 --> 00:41:17.139 a parallel road about a mile away, but didn't stop. 736 00:41:18.039 --> 00:41:20.719 Then they stopped in town and called the house from 737 00:41:20.780 --> 00:41:22.380 a pay phone to try to reach him, but he 738 00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:27.159 didn't answer. Okay. Six o'clock PM. Jody gets home from 739 00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:31.559 the bank. Um, Right away, shit is awry for her. 740 00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:35.000 The dog, they have a golden retriever, I believe, or 741 00:41:35.019 --> 00:41:37.960 a lab. I'm not sure which one. The dog's outside 742 00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:41.079 and off her leash, off her chain. So that's not normal. 743 00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:45.349 The screen door is open to the house also. And 744 00:41:45.429 --> 00:41:49.670 Corey's Cadillac is in the driveway, which he was supposed 745 00:41:49.690 --> 00:41:52.449 to be at work two hours ago. Oh. So she's like, 746 00:41:52.469 --> 00:41:55.050 what's going on here? So she walks into the house. 747 00:41:55.110 --> 00:41:57.420 It's a small house. It's just ridiculous. you know, one 748 00:41:57.460 --> 00:41:59.809 of those tiny houses. So she walks into the bedroom 749 00:42:00.469 --> 00:42:03.750 and she sees Jerry. She sees Corey. He is lying 750 00:42:03.889 --> 00:42:06.489 face down on the carpeted floor next to the bed 751 00:42:06.550 --> 00:42:09.510 and his underwear with his face turned toward the bed. 752 00:42:09.590 --> 00:42:11.880 And she couldn't see it. She couldn't see his face. 753 00:42:12.429 --> 00:42:14.440 She said, I couldn't see his face. His face was 754 00:42:14.500 --> 00:42:16.860 turned toward the, toward the bed, but I could see 755 00:42:16.900 --> 00:42:20.739 the rest of him. There was blood. She said, I 756 00:42:20.820 --> 00:42:24.289 touched him and said his name. And of course, nothing. Oh, 757 00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:26.989 So she calls 911. She said, I need someone to 758 00:42:27.030 --> 00:42:29.070 come out to my house. I think my fiance is dead. 759 00:42:29.469 --> 00:42:32.030 They said, okay. She said, he's all bloody and he's 760 00:42:32.070 --> 00:42:35.769 not breathing and he's cold. Oh my God. So she said, 761 00:42:35.809 --> 00:42:37.829 he's on his, she's on the, he's on the side 762 00:42:37.869 --> 00:42:39.539 of the bed. There's a lot of blood around it. 763 00:42:39.579 --> 00:42:42.079 It looks like he's been beat pretty bad. And they said, 764 00:42:42.179 --> 00:42:45.719 is he dead? Which she's been saying over and over. 765 00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:49.619 He seems dead. She said, yeah, pretty much, which is the, 766 00:42:51.179 --> 00:42:53.030 I don't know how to, I mean, you're in a 767 00:42:53.030 --> 00:42:54.619 weird spot. I don't know how you answer that. But, yeah, 768 00:42:54.659 --> 00:42:56.860 pretty much is a real weird way to say that. Okay. 769 00:42:57.460 --> 00:42:58.760 I feel bad. 770 00:42:58.820 --> 00:43:02.340 Pretty much is a weird thing to say after any question. 771 00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:05.840 Especially something super final. You know what I mean? Like 772 00:43:05.860 --> 00:43:07.659 if someone goes, did you get enough to eat? You go, yeah, 773 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:09.920 pretty much. Yeah, I mean, I might get some dessert 774 00:43:09.940 --> 00:43:12.440 or something. But I'm pretty good. But dead is dead 775 00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:15.920 or not. That's it. There's not a lot of. He's 776 00:43:15.980 --> 00:43:19.809 cold and he's dead, she says. So police arrive. And 777 00:43:19.909 --> 00:43:22.429 the first officer said, you could immediately tell this was 778 00:43:22.489 --> 00:43:25.550 blunt force trauma type of crime. And the beating had 779 00:43:25.610 --> 00:43:28.989 taken place. He had injuries to his back, obvious bloody 780 00:43:29.050 --> 00:43:31.170 injury to the back of his head. There's quite a 781 00:43:31.190 --> 00:43:33.199 bit of blood on the bed, blood spattered on the 782 00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:35.320 wall and on the side of the bed. And of course, 783 00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:38.519 on the floor where he'd been laying all over. They 784 00:43:38.539 --> 00:43:42.440 said right away, the one detective said the house wasn't burglarized. 785 00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:45.340 There wasn't chairs or tables overturned. So I think the 786 00:43:45.409 --> 00:43:50.099 motive was very specific and was there to do harm. So, 787 00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:55.119 nothing's missing. Nothing's disturbed. Jody or the cops, nobody can 788 00:43:55.179 --> 00:43:57.869 find a single item missing from the house. Nothing. Really? 789 00:43:58.210 --> 00:44:02.429 Not a dollar. They looked for fingerprints. Nothing. Footprints. Who gots? 790 00:44:02.570 --> 00:44:06.230 Tire impressions in the gravel in the yard. Not a thing. 791 00:44:06.250 --> 00:44:08.750 Not a goddamn thing. Not a goddamn thing. They said 792 00:44:08.769 --> 00:44:12.989 the scene yielded very little helpful evidence. Now, also, it's 1992, so. 793 00:44:15.449 --> 00:44:17.309 Evidence you need like a puddle of blood or a 794 00:44:17.329 --> 00:44:19.130 clump of hair. This isn't like, oh, we can do 795 00:44:19.170 --> 00:44:22.429 some touch DNA stuff and figure out. It's totally different. 796 00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:26.820 So what they think happened here is

about 10, somewhere 797 00:44:26.860 --> 00:44:30.360 between 10 a.m. and 1.30 p.m. is the murder window here. 798 00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:35.099 Somewhere in there. Someone walked into the house. There's no 799 00:44:35.179 --> 00:44:38.739 forced entry, but you could like push your way through 800 00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:41.039 the house. They said near the doorknob there was a 801 00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:43.320 pane of glass missing that had been covered by a 802 00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.219 piece of particle board. So you could usually just open 803 00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:48.809 the door if you wanted to. After the murder, too, 804 00:44:48.849 --> 00:44:51.809 the particle board was found removed and sitting alongside the house. 805 00:44:51.849 --> 00:44:55.230 So somebody just opened the door. Somebody pulled that out. Yeah. 806 00:44:55.369 --> 00:44:56.280 It was just like leaned up. 807 00:44:57.150 --> 00:44:57.369 Yeah. 808 00:44:57.469 --> 00:45:00.170 So they said he must have been in his bed. 809 00:45:00.610 --> 00:45:03.559 asleep or close to it, the first blow landed on 810 00:45:03.579 --> 00:45:06.579 the back of his head. The forensic evidence, the blood 811 00:45:06.619 --> 00:45:08.780 on the bed, position of the body, the bedding still 812 00:45:08.820 --> 00:45:11.239 wrapped around his legs, indicates he was struck while he 813 00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:14.179 was still in bed and that he rolled or fell 814 00:45:14.659 --> 00:45:18.780 to the carpeted floor beside it. Okay. He was hit 815 00:45:18.780 --> 00:45:24.159 13 times. Wow. Head, back, shoulders. Four of the blows 816 00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:26.260 were to the head. One of them split the back 817 00:45:26.300 --> 00:45:30.809 of his skull open in a large H-shaped laceration. Oh, fuck. 818 00:45:31.230 --> 00:45:34.420 They said that was the fatal one. They said that 819 00:45:34.739 --> 00:45:37.460 the other 12 injuries were inflicted before death. And that 820 00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:40.070 was the coup de grace there at the end there. 821 00:45:40.190 --> 00:45:43.090 No bruises on his hands or forearm. So there's no 822 00:45:43.429 --> 00:45:48.429 defensive wounds. This happened. Caught him asleep. He's 225 pounds, 823 00:45:48.469 --> 00:45:51.510 been in fights before. He's a bartender. He's played football, 824 00:45:51.969 --> 00:45:55.050 played on the offensive line. He's a rough– he could 825 00:45:55.110 --> 00:45:57.969 definitely at least make an effort to fight you off 826 00:45:58.070 --> 00:46:01.349 for sure. And it's a golden lab, the dog, by 827 00:46:01.389 --> 00:46:03.989 the way, and it's known as being pretty protective as well. 828 00:46:04.829 --> 00:46:06.590 They said this isn't a dog that if you come 829 00:46:06.630 --> 00:46:08.050 in the house and it doesn't know you, it's not 830 00:46:08.070 --> 00:46:09.510 going to let you in. It's going to bark at you. 831 00:46:10.070 --> 00:46:11.239 It's going to try to bite you. It's going to 832 00:46:11.260 --> 00:46:13.860 keep you out. They said this was– the dog was 833 00:46:13.900 --> 00:46:17.679 let outside and unchained at some point. So that's odd. 834 00:46:18.539 --> 00:46:22.980 So that evening, Annette goes to work at Winx, and 835 00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:26.019 they say, she and Jackie both say that's when they 836 00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:28.110 learned Corey was dead from the people at the bar. 837 00:46:28.619 --> 00:46:33.630 That's how she heard. And that's that. So they got 838 00:46:33.670 --> 00:46:36.530 into the car, Jackie and Annette, and drove to the 839 00:46:36.590 --> 00:46:40.849 police station to volunteer a full account of their day. 840 00:46:41.030 --> 00:46:42.769 This is what we did yesterday, just so you know, 841 00:46:42.809 --> 00:46:45.190 we didn't do it. It's kind of a strange thing 842 00:46:45.230 --> 00:46:51.150 to do. Preemptively. Real weird. So Wednesday morning, October 14th here, 843 00:46:51.949 --> 00:46:54.670 the officers still have a section of the gravel road 844 00:46:54.690 --> 00:46:58.880 that Corey and Jody live on blocked off overnight. OK, 845 00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:01.840 because this is the next day. There's a news crew 846 00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:05.079 out there from Cedar Rapids. Rapids came all the way 847 00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:08.900 over here. This reporter named Mike Wagner was trying to 848 00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:11.760 get his car started on this road and couldn't. So 849 00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:14.469 he decided to walk up the gravel road toward the residence. 850 00:47:15.050 --> 00:47:18.170 So he does. And about a quarter mile east of 851 00:47:18.210 --> 00:47:22.289 the house, he said, and we never know exactly where 852 00:47:22.329 --> 00:47:23.789 it is, but he said he looked down at the 853 00:47:23.849 --> 00:47:25.909 north edge of the road and saw a metal bat. 854 00:47:26.909 --> 00:47:29.889 He went and told the cops who came and looked 855 00:47:29.989 --> 00:47:33.349 at it here. The bat had white tape wrapped around 856 00:47:33.389 --> 00:47:35.730 the handle. It's an aluminum bat. It's a blue aluminum 857 00:47:35.769 --> 00:47:39.840 bat stamped on it the words Power Flight Heavyweight. You know, 858 00:47:39.860 --> 00:47:43.460 aluminum bats. The white lettering had what appeared to be 859 00:47:43.500 --> 00:47:48.570 bloodstains on it. It's a youth-sized aluminum softball bat is 860 00:47:48.610 --> 00:47:52.150 what it is. Still has a barcode sticker affixed to 861 00:47:52.190 --> 00:47:55.139 it as well without the corners being torn off or anything. 862 00:47:55.179 --> 00:47:59.119 It's pretty new. They later confirmed the bat had been 863 00:47:59.139 --> 00:48:04.280 purchased at Walmart. That particular blue had shipped to the 864 00:48:04.420 --> 00:48:07.280 area a year before this, but it could have been 865 00:48:07.300 --> 00:48:10.199 left over from the previous year's inventory. They didn't have 866 00:48:10.219 -->

00:48:12.099 everything on computer back then where they could go, oh, yeah, 867 00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:15.510 that came from here and it's that. But it's a 868 00:48:15.510 --> 00:48:22.570 $ 15 softball bat. It had been bought on sale for $ 13. 869 00:48:20.730 --> 00:48:23.429 Imagine that. 870 00:48:23.429 --> 00:48:28.340 $ 13 murder weapon. $ 13. Pretty efficient. That's crazy. So there's 871 00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:30.920 a criminologist that takes the bat off the road. And actually, 872 00:48:30.940 --> 00:48:33.800 we have the exact picture of this, too, here. Also 873 00:48:34.139 --> 00:48:38.719 in that picture is the Muscatine County Sheriff, Ron Hazen, 874 00:48:39.059 --> 00:48:43.659 who happens to be Annette's uncle. Oh, my. This is 875 00:48:43.699 --> 00:48:49.130 a small town, man. So that's crazy, right? Yeah. So 876 00:48:49.309 --> 00:48:53.280 the bat goes to the state crime lab. They put it, 877 00:48:53.949 --> 00:48:55.849 you know, they do the super glue fumes and all 878 00:48:55.869 --> 00:48:58.300 that to try to figure out what's going on. The 879 00:48:58.360 --> 00:49:01.820 fumes adhere to shit. It's the Beverly Hills Cop 2. 880 00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:04.739 Remember that? Yeah. In the fish tank or the turtle 881 00:49:04.780 --> 00:49:06.019 tank with the, yeah, same thing. 882 00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:08.179 Put it in the bucket and put some super glue 883 00:49:08.199 --> 00:49:10.110 and get it real hot and you'll see fingerprints. 884 00:49:10.150 --> 00:49:13.010 That's it. So there's no fingerprints on the bat, none. 885 00:49:13.210 --> 00:49:17.190 No fingerprints at all, they found. Which, I mean, there's 886 00:49:17.250 --> 00:49:20.590 tape around the handle part. Yeah. I'd wear gloves if 887 00:49:20.659 --> 00:49:21.880 I was going to do this, probably. 888 00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:25.260 But it's probably that, for sure, yeah. But it's probably 889 00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:28.659 that sport tape that fucking holds shit. 890 00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:31.219 You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Get yourself a 891 00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:34.199 batting glove. Get a Franklin. You'll be fine. A Mizuno. 892 00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.409 You'll slap it on. I'll keep it clean, yeah. Now, 893 00:49:37.449 --> 00:49:41.519 the blood testing capability in 1992 in rural Iowa is 894 00:49:41.980 --> 00:49:44.619 blood type. That's it. That's all they got. Yeah. There 895 00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:47.460 is DNA that happens, but it doesn't happen around here 896 00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:50.300 quite yet. So, yeah. The blood on the bat was 897 00:49:50.360 --> 00:49:53.909 the same type as Corey's. And, by the way, Jody 898 00:49:53.949 --> 00:49:57.230 said neither she nor Corey owned any bat of any kind. So, 899 00:49:57.250 --> 00:50:02.070 it didn't come from the house. Okay. So, people... Obviously, 900 00:50:02.090 --> 00:50:05.309 there's a ton of people saying this sucks. We like Corey. 901 00:50:05.329 --> 00:50:07.409 He's a good guy. There are a few people, though, 902 00:50:07.489 --> 00:50:10.769 talking about how sometimes he rubbed people the wrong way, 903 00:50:10.969 --> 00:50:12.550 and there's a lot of people that might have wanted 904 00:50:12.570 --> 00:50:16.309 to kill him. One person, a family friend, said he 905 00:50:16.329 --> 00:50:18.469 had a foul mouth, and a lot of people didn't 906 00:50:18.510 --> 00:50:22.280 like him around town on that account. They said he 907 00:50:22.300 --> 00:50:24.659 was generally a good kid, but people got mad at 908 00:50:24.699 --> 00:50:27.900 his foul mouth. A neighbor who knew him a long 909 00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:31.190 time said that sometimes Corey would say things that made 910 00:50:31.230 --> 00:50:34.300 people angry and it was never the type of thing 911 00:50:34.340 --> 00:50:36.420 that would cause someone to want to kill him probably. 912 00:50:37.619 --> 00:50:39.659 He said he was a pretty nice guy. He had 913 00:50:39.699 --> 00:50:42.289 problems once in a while, but everybody does. He wouldn't 914 00:50:42.309 --> 00:50:45.849 hurt a flea. And then he goes on to– a flea. 915 00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:50.150 This town's devastated. I'm still not thinking straight, the guy says. 916 00:50:50.329 --> 00:50:52.010 I could have come up with a better analogy. I 917 00:50:52.030 --> 00:50:55.130 just said a flea. I don't know. I'm sorry. It's 918 00:50:55.190 --> 00:50:58.610 usually a fly, but I go with fleas. I'm so distracted, honestly, 919 00:50:58.650 --> 00:50:59.329 by this whole thing. 920 00:51:00.030 --> 00:51:01.739 When's the last time you even saw a flea to 921 00:51:01.780 --> 00:51:02.030 hurt it? 922 00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:04.619 You know what I'm saying? We've pretty much rid the 923 00:51:04.659 --> 00:51:06.860 fleas out of here. The collars and the sprays, it's 924 00:51:06.940 --> 00:51:12.719 all gone. Somebody's been hurting fleas. Somebody's been up to something. 925 00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:16.820 So now here are the theories. There's fleas. Basically four theories. 926 00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:21.039 Maybe drugs. Maybe he owed people money. That's possible. They 927 00:51:21.059 --> 00:51:23.840 looked at Slim, who had partied with Corey. Oh, Slim Z. 928 00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:26.239 That didn't work out. Maybe gambling. He was running a 929 00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:29.619 little book out of the bar. That's possible. No, not 930 00:51:29.659 --> 00:51:33.320 really there. Maybe a bar fight that escalated. Maybe he 931 00:51:33.360 --> 00:51:35.269 got in a beef with somebody earlier in the night 932 00:51:35.329 --> 00:51:37.989 and they were seeking revenge or some shit. But they 933 00:51:38.030 --> 00:51:41.730 said nothing really happened that night or even close to that. 934 00:51:42.469 --> 00:51:45.389 Maybe it's a woman or a woman's husband, they thought possibly, 935 00:51:45.409 --> 00:51:49.329 because he's banging everybody. One investigator said, you usually start

936 00:51:49.349 --> 00:51:52.110 with the spouse or boyfriend, girlfriend, whoever it is, and 937 00:51:52.130 --> 00:51:54.150 then you work it out. With Corey, it's a bit 938 00:51:54.190 --> 00:51:57.230 more difficult because he had more than one relationship going on. 939 00:51:57.610 --> 00:51:59.469 Some of these women that he was having sex with 940 00:51:59.510 --> 00:52:02.159 had boyfriends, had husbands. That made it a bit harder 941 00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:07.000 than normal. That's crazy. One thing that bothered him here, 942 00:52:07.019 --> 00:52:09.260 he said, Corey was a strong young man, and for 943 00:52:09.300 --> 00:52:12.800 that type of crime, to have committed it, I think 944 00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:15.619 a lot of people scratching their heads asking for one, 945 00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:17.969 who could have done this? And for two, how could 946 00:52:17.989 --> 00:52:19.989 they have pulled it off? Because it did not appear 947 00:52:20.010 --> 00:52:22.210 that Corey had fought back. Well, they walked in and 948 00:52:22.250 --> 00:52:25.530 found him sleeping. Beat his skull in. That's pretty easy. 949 00:52:26.469 --> 00:52:29.949 They believe that he knew the killer, though, because of 950 00:52:30.010 --> 00:52:34.099 the dog, the way the dog was allowed. The dog's 951 00:52:34.119 --> 00:52:37.460 response to the person. Yeah. If he was barking, barking, 952 00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:39.849 that would have probably woke Corey up. And it would 953 00:52:39.869 --> 00:52:44.239 have been a different story. So now the suspects, first 954 00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:47.800 of all, he lives with Jody. So she's suspect one. Bingo. 955 00:52:48.019 --> 00:52:50.659 She has a total alibi. She's been at the bank 956 00:52:50.679 --> 00:52:54.780 the entire day. And he was dead forensically well after 957 00:52:54.820 --> 00:52:59.250 she left. So couldn't have been. Bob Morrison now. Remember 958 00:52:59.289 --> 00:53:03.889 Missy's husband? Bob, they called him a workaholic who did 959 00:53:03.969 --> 00:53:08.940 tons and tons of overtime. He took Tuesday, October 13th off, 960 00:53:09.059 --> 00:53:12.079 which is the day after the murder– the day of 961 00:53:12.119 --> 00:53:16.480 the murder essentially. They said that he's a powerfully built 962 00:53:16.539 --> 00:53:19.360 man and was about the right height to have committed 963 00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:23.110 the homicide based on some forensic shit and some spatter 964 00:53:23.289 --> 00:53:26.269 shit they were talking about. They also say that people 965 00:53:26.309 --> 00:53:30.510 said he was quick-tempered and known for his, quote, remorseless 966 00:53:30.610 --> 00:53:34.840 abuse of both animals and his wife. Okay, so it's 967 00:53:35.019 --> 00:53:35.639 capable of anything. 968 00:53:35.659 --> 00:53:37.260 Even if he didn't do this, let's keep an eye 969 00:53:37.300 --> 00:53:38.070 on him for a while. 970 00:53:38.090 --> 00:53:39.909 I was going to say,

we should probably just put 971 00:53:39.929 --> 00:53:41.949 a car on him anyway and then work from there. 972 00:53:43.110 --> 00:53:46.230 Let's follow him around here. God, we are so far. Shit, 973 00:53:46.250 --> 00:53:47.889 I don't know how we're going to do this in time. Okay, 974 00:53:49.030 --> 00:53:52.250 Annette then. Remember Annette? Remember last time we left off 975 00:53:52.289 --> 00:53:53.610 with her? She was on the way to the police 976 00:53:53.650 --> 00:53:58.280 station here. She showed up. They walked into the police station, 977 00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:01.940 and one investigator said it did seem a little strange 978 00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:04.300 that she'd come up with all this stuff and that 979 00:54:04.340 --> 00:54:06.980 she wanted to present it willingly. Like she had receipts. 980 00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:09.530 This is where I was today. But then I also 981 00:54:09.570 --> 00:54:11.269 kind of got the feeling that she was doing that 982 00:54:11.309 --> 00:54:13.309 because she was afraid. She really didn't want to go 983 00:54:13.389 --> 00:54:15.550 sit down in front of the cops. She was afraid 984 00:54:15.590 --> 00:54:21.090 of something, them finding something out. So she told them, yes, 985 00:54:21.250 --> 00:54:24.369 I went to his house. I went to the door 986 00:54:24.429 --> 00:54:26.880 where the, you know, the particle board thing where you 987 00:54:26.900 --> 00:54:28.960 can get in the, all of that is she told 988 00:54:28.980 --> 00:54:32.019 them all of that. This is, pretty close to when 989 00:54:32.039 --> 00:54:34.019 the murder is supposed to be happening too she says 990 00:54:34.099 --> 00:54:36.969 i stopped herself on the scene so i mean that's 991 00:54:37.010 --> 00:54:41.530 the truth um and this now the cops say she 992 00:54:41.570 --> 00:54:43.610 knew the farmer saw her and she was trying to 993 00:54:43.630 --> 00:54:45.469 get out ahead of it because remember the farmer saw 994 00:54:45.489 --> 00:54:50.269 them outside but also the farmer didn't why would you 995 00:54:50.309 --> 00:54:52.769 recognize and why would you put yourself at the murder 996 00:54:52.789 --> 00:54:55.690 scene before the farmer says that they saw you so 997 00:54:56.269 --> 00:54:59.429 it can go either way um She gave them her coat, 998 00:54:59.510 --> 00:55:02.849 her shoes, fiber samples from the interior of her vehicle, 999 00:55:03.190 --> 00:55:07.010 her fingerprints, her palm prints, her blood. She gave them everything. 1000 00:55:08.269 --> 00:55:11.190 They tested everything. Nothing matched. They asked her to take 1001 00:55:11.230 --> 00:55:16.780 a polygraph and she said, OK, fine. And she passed it. OK. 1002 00:55:17.280 --> 00:55:19.820 They said she took the polygraph examination on that day 1003 00:55:19.860 --> 00:55:22.920 and basically passed the polygraph. There was no conclusive evidence 1004 00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:25.739 that they could say after she took the polygraph that

1005 00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:29.380 would lead you to believe that she was guilty. So 1006 00:55:29.420 --> 00:55:31.840 they said at that point they started working other leads 1007 00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:37.219 because she passed. Yeah, that's how you eliminate people. So 1008 00:55:37.239 --> 00:55:41.769 the case goes cold here. Wow. They said that we 1009 00:55:41.809 --> 00:55:44.130 interviewed some people and really didn't get a lot. We're 1010 00:55:44.150 --> 00:55:46.969 getting the same name, same information, and it just went cold. 1011 00:55:47.030 --> 00:55:52.889 Same dead ends. Holy shit. A year later. That there 1012 00:55:53.070 --> 00:55:56.190 was this big announcement in the Iowa City, some gazette 1013 00:55:56.250 --> 00:55:58.369 or some shit, one of the papers there that said, like, 1014 00:55:58.769 --> 00:56:00.909 new information, blah, blah, blah. And then the next day 1015 00:56:00.949 --> 00:56:04.000 it was like, there's no new information. That was our bad. 1016 00:56:04.440 --> 00:56:07.659 Same old shit. Annette keeps checking in with the cops. 1017 00:56:07.739 --> 00:56:09.780 She goes to the police station on her own every 1018 00:56:09.860 --> 00:56:13.079 once in a while repeatedly. Okay. They said she was 1019 00:56:13.139 --> 00:56:16.199 unusually interested in the investigation. She would come to the 1020 00:56:16.219 --> 00:56:18.679 police station of her own volition and check on things. 1021 00:56:19.630 --> 00:56:23.429 She also started handing them other suspects. They said there's– 1022 00:56:23.710 --> 00:56:26.889 investigators said there's always red flags, but the big giant 1023 00:56:26.949 --> 00:56:29.210 red flags, the ones that are like on the top 1024 00:56:29.250 --> 00:56:32.059 of a building screaming at you that this is a person, 1025 00:56:33.039 --> 00:56:36.639 is when your suspect starts coming forward providing alternate suspects. 1026 00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:37.400 Yeah. 1027 00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:41.980 Like that's not a good– Not me. No. By the way, 1995, 1028 00:56:41.960 --> 00:56:46.670 remember Missy and Bob Morrison? Yeah. Well, Bob shot and 1029 00:56:46.710 --> 00:56:51.130 killed Missy in 1995. amid accusations that she was fucking 1030 00:56:51.190 --> 00:56:53.110 other people and was going to leave him, and then 1031 00:56:53.150 --> 00:56:55.340 he killed himself. Bob! 1032 00:56:55.980 --> 00:56:59.159 That's a dead end now, Bob and Missy. Incredibly dead end. 1033 00:56:59.340 --> 00:57:01.760 And that's the guy that beats animals and his wife? 1034 00:57:01.940 --> 00:57:05.440 And his wife, yeah. Shocking end. You never would have thought, right? 1035 00:57:06.099 --> 00:57:10.829 Not that guy. What a dickhead. So October 1995, they 1036 00:57:10.869 --> 00:57:13.590 have a meeting, all the investigators. It's been three years. 1037 00:57:14.559 --> 00:57:18.159 And they theorized it's probably– it was probably Bob Morrison 1038 00:57:18.179 --> 00:57:21.650 who killed Corey. That would make the most sense. So 1039 00:57:21.670 --> 00:57:24.230 they do all of that and they said, I mean, 1040 00:57:25.250 --> 00:57:27.730 he was dead. Now there's nobody to prosecute though. So 1041 00:57:27.750 --> 00:57:30.250 they kind of– he was their main suspect right now 1042 00:57:30.309 --> 00:57:32.099 and now he died. So they lost interest in the 1043 00:57:32.119 --> 00:57:34.619 case pretty much. They were like, well, that was that. 1044 00:57:35.429 --> 00:57:37.829 So over the years, they get more suspects, a guy 1045 00:57:37.889 --> 00:57:41.710 named Dennis Stromer, a guy named Corey, a guy named Robert, 1046 00:57:42.170 --> 00:57:45.420 Stephen Burke, William James Wade. These are all the ones 1047 00:57:45.460 --> 00:57:48.139 they named. Steve Young. Hey, Steve Young was there. Is 1048 00:57:48.159 --> 00:57:50.980 that right? He's a scrambling lefty. I don't think he 1049 00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:51.250 did it. 1050 00:57:51.659 --> 00:57:51.840 No. 1051 00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:54.239 And there's a bunch more. There's a guy named Jeff 1052 00:57:54.300 --> 00:57:57.219 Murdoch who, according to an interview with a guy named 1053 00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:01.650 Scott Payne, Jeff Murdoch was bragging about killing Corey at 1054 00:58:01.690 --> 00:58:05.090 two different local bars on two separate occasions. Jeff was 1055 00:58:05.210 --> 00:58:08.050 never interviewed once by the cops for this murder and 1056 00:58:08.070 --> 00:58:12.230 he died in 2004 having never been interviewed. Um, they're 1057 00:58:12.269 --> 00:58:15.789 doing a bang job. This is great. There is no 1058 00:58:15.829 --> 00:58:17.530 way we can finish this fucking story. I don't know 1059 00:58:17.550 --> 00:58:20.500 how we're going to do this. Okay. Um, There's a 1060 00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:23.159 lot left. Really? And it's juicy and there's a lot 1061 00:58:23.199 --> 00:58:25.800 to talk about. Can we do a two-parter on an express? 1062 00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:28.300 That seems weird, right? We have a long show for that. 1063 00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:30.210 I don't fucking see why not. We can. We can 1064 00:58:30.230 --> 00:58:33.389 do whatever we want. It's our show. If I'm a listener, 1065 00:58:33.409 --> 00:58:35.329 I'm going, hey, stupids, maybe you should have made that 1066 00:58:35.369 --> 00:58:37.710 your regular length show. You do have a longer show. 1067 00:58:38.389 --> 00:58:42.449 The point of this is short stories. I don't know. 1068 00:58:42.670 --> 00:58:45.989 I think dead man with a cop police force doing 1069 00:58:46.030 --> 00:58:48.760 a bang-up job of fucking this up is a beautiful 1070 00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:49.619 place to stop. 1071 00:58:49.940 --> 00:58:52.980 It's pretty goddamn great. Yeah. We'll do a little bit more, 1072 00:58:53.019 --> 00:58:54.900 and then we're not going to rush through it and 1073 00:58:54.920 --> 00:58:57.539 not tell the story, basically. So let's do it. That's

1074 00:58:57.559 --> 00:58:57.980 what I mean. 1075 00:58:58.900 --> 00:59:01.820 If there's an hour to go still, fucking see you 1076 00:59:01.860 --> 00:59:02.469 next week. 1077 00:59:03.809 --> 00:59:07.670 All right. Fuck it. Then we're in. So let's continue 1078 00:59:07.690 --> 00:59:13.309 this then. So Jeff. never got never got fucking interviewed 1079 00:59:13.329 --> 00:59:16.949 never got thoroughly investigated who people say were were actually 1080 00:59:17.050 --> 00:59:21.679 like he was actually admitting it to people here um 1081 00:59:21.739 --> 00:59:24.380 then there's a guy named joey brockert who lived in 1082 00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:26.989 west liberty at the time of the murder here The 1083 00:59:27.090 --> 00:59:31.889 following year, he was convicted of beating a man to death. Okay. 1084 00:59:32.250 --> 00:59:35.489 Different guy, a beating, but a blunt force trauma murder. 1085 00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:38.500 So he was a guy who was on the suspect 1086 00:59:38.539 --> 00:59:44.360 list to begin with and then gets beaten fucking horribly. Okay. Wow. 1087 00:59:44.699 --> 00:59:49.510 There's a guy named Mark Rodriguez here. Mark Rodriguez is 1088 00:59:49.639 --> 00:59:53.869 implicated by an ex-girlfriend named Megan Kaufman who who told 1089 00:59:53.929 --> 00:59:58.570 investigators that Rodriguez and Brockert, the guy who beat a 1090 00:59:58.590 --> 01:00:01.610 guy to death the next year, were both members of 1091 01:00:01.690 --> 01:00:06.400 a local group called the Klan, with a C. Okay. 1092 01:00:07.119 --> 01:00:10.320 How do you name your group the Klan? There's already... 1093 01:00:10.769 --> 01:00:13.570 One of those. That is a connotation. I mean, there's 1094 01:00:13.590 --> 01:00:18.320 the Wu-Tang one. But if you're nine black guys, fine. 1095 01:00:18.719 --> 01:00:21.179 People probably understand that you're probably not going to go 1096 01:00:21.199 --> 01:00:22.860 burn a cross on anybody's lawn. 1097 01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:26.619 And they qualified that clan with the Wu-Tang part. 1098 01:00:26.639 --> 01:00:31.250 Wu-Tang clan. That part differentiates it. Tremendously. Huge at that point. Yeah. 1099 01:00:31.409 --> 01:00:35.329 Huge difference. And they got some pretty great names, each guy. 1100 01:00:35.369 --> 01:00:35.610 Yeah. 1101 01:00:35.989 --> 01:00:38.489 Yeah. I don't think there's a lot of guys in 1102 01:00:38.550 --> 01:00:42.420 the Ku Klux Klan. In the Klan? The Ghostface Killer, probably. 1103 01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:45.260 I don't think there's a lot of old dirty bastards 1104 01:00:45.300 --> 01:00:49.260 in there. They are bastards. I'm sure of that. They are. 1105 01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:53.980 So a local group called the Klan and were involved 1106 01:00:54.019 --> 01:00:56.909 in dealing drugs. I got to know what the Klan 1107 01:00:56.949 --> 01:00:59.090 is all about. What do they do? I don't know 1108 01:00:59.130 --> 01:01:00.989 if I want to know. Oh, God. 1109 01:01:01.869 --> 01:01:03.449 I mean, I want to know, but I'm going to 1110 01:01:03.690 --> 01:01:05.019 be regretful when I find out. 1111 01:01:06.369 --> 01:01:08.050 Not going to be thrilled with the results of it. 1112 01:01:08.949 --> 01:01:12.519 So that's Mark Rodriguez there. So his ex-girlfriend told on him. 1113 01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:14.940 So we have several people going, this person, I heard 1114 01:01:14.980 --> 01:01:17.719 this person say that they killed it. That's Joey Brockert 1115 01:01:17.760 --> 01:01:20.159 they heard about. They heard about Mark Rodriguez. They heard 1116 01:01:20.219 --> 01:01:24.500 about Jeff Murdoch. Then there's a guy named Kenny Hammonds. 1117 01:01:26.440 --> 01:01:32.449 Kenny Hammonds. said that there's a guy named Jeffrey Lobdell. 1118 01:01:33.070 --> 01:01:37.219 And Jeffrey Lobdell said that Kenny Hammonds admitted to me 1119 01:01:38.019 --> 01:01:41.340 that he dropped Corey off at home on the morning 1120 01:01:41.380 --> 01:01:44.639 of the murder. So he's saying he put Corey. Now, 1121 01:01:44.699 --> 01:01:47.119 I don't know why. How would Corey's car be there then? 1122 01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:51.150 That's that doesn't make any sense. So that one that 1123 01:01:51.190 --> 01:01:54.150 you discount just because we know Corey had a car 1124 01:01:54.190 --> 01:01:55.829 when he left the bar. We know Corey had a 1125 01:01:55.849 --> 01:01:59.780 car at several locations, including Angry Sex with Annette and 1126 01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:03.599 the birthday party with Slim. And then he stopped off 1127 01:02:03.639 --> 01:02:05.579 at the other one's house to Wendy to talk to 1128 01:02:05.619 --> 01:02:07.139 her and then got his car home because it's in 1129 01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:08.219 the fucking driveway. So. 1130 01:02:08.599 --> 01:02:10.780 Yeah, he got home at 7 a.m. and went to bed, 1131 01:02:10.840 --> 01:02:14.190 and his girlfriend went to work. What, he went back out? 1132 01:02:14.989 --> 01:02:18.449 Yeah, it makes no sense. So we know that's not right. 1133 01:02:18.630 --> 01:02:20.750 They might have their days mixed up, too. That's the 1134 01:02:20.789 --> 01:02:25.989 other thing. I mean, we were talking about years later, too. Like, yeah, 1135 01:02:26.010 --> 01:02:29.320 we drove him home around then. Who knows, you know? 1136 01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:35.239 Then there's a set of drug dealers from Missouri whom 1137 01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:39.269 Corey reportedly owed money. That's according to a woman named 1138 01:02:39.309 --> 01:02:42.789 Brenda Peterson. Corey owed out of town drug dealers money. 1139 01:02:43.570 --> 01:02:47.789 And there's that. So we have a lot of shit 1140 01:02:47.809 --> 01:02:52.989 going on here. We have, uh, Jeffrey Lobdell and Kenny Hammonds. 1141 01:02:53.030 --> 01:02:55.849 We got Brenda Peterson saying they, they did that. We 1142 01:02:55.889 --> 01:02:58.449 got the Mark Rodriguez guy who's in the, who's drug 1143

01:02:58.469 --> 01:03:01.699 dealing in the clan. And his ex-girlfriend says that he 1144 01:03:01.739 --> 01:03:04.280 told her they did that, um, that he did that. 1145 01:03:04.679 --> 01:03:08.539 Joey Brockert here, um, who beat a guy to death. Uh, 1146 01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:12.079 Jeff Murdock, who's been heard in several different bars bragging 1147 01:03:12.119 --> 01:03:13.219 about the murder as well. 1148 01:03:14.019 --> 01:03:14.239 Hmm. 1149 01:03:15.199 --> 01:03:18.510 That in addition to Morrison, who's dead. 1150 01:03:18.530 --> 01:03:18.610 Yeah. 1151 01:03:18.929 --> 01:03:27.050 Um, And Missy, who's dead. And basically Jody, Annette, Wendy. 1152 01:03:28.449 --> 01:03:29.969 I mean, anyone they have maybe had. 1153 01:03:30.050 --> 01:03:31.730 We got more people than the Wu-Tang Clan. 1154 01:03:31.750 --> 01:03:35.230 Yeah. This is a Wu-Tang, a veritable Wu-Tang Clan of 1155 01:03:35.269 --> 01:03:39.789 suspects is what we have here. This shit is crazy. Yeah. 1156 01:03:39.909 --> 01:03:43.639 This is, there are so many suspects. That's what I mean. Wow. 1157 01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:49.659 So then, and 2002 is the 10-year anniversary announcement of. 1158 01:03:50.510 --> 01:03:52.670 the case here. 10 years have gone by. 1159 01:03:52.690 --> 01:03:56.289 It went a decade without solving a man beaten to 1160 01:03:56.329 --> 01:03:57.369 death in his bed? 1161 01:03:57.690 --> 01:04:02.269 In his own bed, in his own home, which seems wild. 1162 01:04:02.389 --> 01:04:06.789 On the 10-year anniversary, a sergeant told the Associated Press 1163 01:04:06.809 --> 01:04:09.630 that no motive has been developed and that no one 1164 01:04:09.670 --> 01:04:12.449 has been identified as a suspect. We don't even know 1165 01:04:12.489 --> 01:04:15.590 why he's dead. There's like 20 suspects, but none of 1166 01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:18.510 them are You know, you can really grab onto and 1167 01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:22.030 pull onto here. And the fact that they don't even 1168 01:04:22.070 --> 01:04:27.389 have a fucking motive yet. So drugs, angry boyfriend, dude 1169 01:04:27.429 --> 01:04:30.170 he pissed off at the bar could literally be anything. 1170 01:04:31.280 --> 01:04:35.460 The same– now Susan, his mother, said, I can't imagine 1171 01:04:35.480 --> 01:04:38.980 that somebody had something as awful against him. We didn't 1172 01:04:39.000 --> 01:04:42.170 know he had any enemies at all, which– I'm sure 1173 01:04:42.190 --> 01:04:44.460 he didn't know he was banging 18 women and doing 1174 01:04:44.500 --> 01:04:46.659 coke at night either. So you're generally don't tell your 1175 01:04:46.679 --> 01:04:50.659 mom that. No, not at all here. And then there's 1176 01:04:50.719 --> 01:04:53.159 the dog. They said that, you know, a lot of 1177 01:04:53.219 --> 01:04:57.630 these people that are suspects are strangers in terms of 1178 01:04:57.650 --> 01:05:00.010 they've never they don't hang out at Corey's house. Yeah. 1179

01:05:00.730 --> 01:05:02.969 So they're like this dog. It has to be someone 1180 01:05:02.989 --> 01:05:07.750 that this dog knows pretty well. Yeah. Like pretty goddamn good. 1181 01:05:07.789 --> 01:05:09.469 Like they have to have been over there 10 times. 1182 01:05:09.659 --> 01:05:13.599 So you wish a dog knew English. Please. You're looking 1183 01:05:13.659 --> 01:05:15.179 at him, and he's just staring at you with love. 1184 01:05:15.260 --> 01:05:20.400 Who did it, boy? Who? Tell me. Don't you just wish? 1185 01:05:20.659 --> 01:05:23.539 Dogs have seen so much over the years. So much. 1186 01:05:23.840 --> 01:05:24.139 So much. 1187 01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:26.900 I'm glad mine can't talk. They've seen me naked so much. 1188 01:05:27.179 --> 01:05:30.519 Oh, God. I tell you everything. Every divorce case, all 1189 01:05:30.539 --> 01:05:32.079 they would ask is just, let's bring the dog in. 1190 01:05:32.500 --> 01:05:34.550 The dog would be the witness. You too. The fuck 1191 01:05:34.659 --> 01:05:37.550 out of here. We're going to talk to the dog. 1192 01:05:37.630 --> 01:05:41.679 He was a dick. Yeah. She would bitch and moan 1193 01:05:41.699 --> 01:05:44.900 a lot. Somebody get out the milk bones. I got 1194 01:05:44.940 --> 01:05:48.860 some questions to do. After every question, you got to 1195 01:05:48.900 --> 01:05:50.480 give him a little piece of a bone. He's like. 1196 01:05:53.139 --> 01:05:56.940 My dogs would tell you everything. He can recall and testify, 1197 01:05:57.019 --> 01:05:58.579 but must be bribed with treats. 1198 01:05:58.679 --> 01:06:00.679 That's the greatest part about dog witnesses. My dogs would 1199 01:06:00.739 --> 01:06:02.469 sell me out so fast. 1200 01:06:02.670 --> 01:06:08.510 Oh, God. Forget it. Forget it. Oh, fuck. They got 1201 01:06:08.570 --> 01:06:12.630 the dream bones. Oh, no. Two of my three dogs 1202 01:06:12.650 --> 01:06:15.730 would fuck me in a second. In a second. Frankie, 1203 01:06:15.750 --> 01:06:17.800 keep her mouth shut. Frankie's hardcore. 1204 01:06:18.920 --> 01:06:21.760 Both of these fucking assholes. They're so food secure, James. 1205 01:06:22.099 --> 01:06:24.900 I've never had dogs where I can put food down 1206 01:06:25.480 --> 01:06:27.780 and they'll still stare at me because they know that 1207 01:06:27.820 --> 01:06:30.679 food's going to be, it's not going anywhere. There's always food. 1208 01:06:31.469 --> 01:06:33.929 Yeah. Our dogs all eat out of the same bowls. 1209 01:06:34.579 --> 01:06:37.420 They don't even have separate bowls. The two big ones start. 1210 01:06:37.440 --> 01:06:39.280 They all share. And one will take a bite and 1211 01:06:39.300 --> 01:06:41.019 then step back and let the other one come eat 1212 01:06:41.039 --> 01:06:43.840 a little bit. We gave Frankie a little bit of 1213 01:06:43.860 --> 01:06:45.769 steak last night because we had some leftover and put 1214 01:06:45.809 --> 01:06:47.789 it on the floor because she's real old

and losing weight. 1215 01:06:48.230 --> 01:06:52.789 And she actually, a plate of steak, medium rare fucking steak, 1216 01:06:53.230 --> 01:06:55.230 backed away so Oscar could get a piece and then 1217 01:06:55.250 --> 01:06:57.030 went back in. That's how nice they are to each other. 1218 01:06:57.329 --> 01:07:00.130 They would tell on us so badly, Jimmy. So quick. 1219 01:07:00.550 --> 01:07:00.969 So quick. 1220 01:07:01.380 --> 01:07:04.019 They don't understand the amount of food that's here is 1221 01:07:04.059 --> 01:07:06.380 because I love you. There are so many houses that 1222 01:07:06.420 --> 01:07:08.340 this shit doesn't exist because they don't give a shit 1223 01:07:08.380 --> 01:07:09.059 about their dog. 1224 01:07:09.619 --> 01:07:12.199 And I'm doing all I can. I feed you before 1225 01:07:12.320 --> 01:07:15.909 I eat, you bastard. Son of a bitch. Sons of bitches. 1226 01:07:16.010 --> 01:07:18.690 And you tell the cops everything. Are your dogs grazers 1227 01:07:18.730 --> 01:07:22.110 or all at once eaters? Grazers. Yeah, I think it's 1228 01:07:22.130 --> 01:07:25.849 a security thing. It's food security. Well, we started, Frankie 1229 01:07:25.889 --> 01:07:27.619 was like that, and then the other dogs just took 1230 01:07:27.659 --> 01:07:29.380 her example, I think, from that. Like, oh, we don't 1231 01:07:29.420 --> 01:07:31.920 have to just scarf everything up? All right, cool. I 1232 01:07:31.960 --> 01:07:33.139 think that's definitely part of it. 1233 01:07:33.139 --> 01:07:35.579 They got to go by example because some dogs, they're 1234 01:07:35.619 --> 01:07:37.539 just scared because there's another dog in the house. 1235 01:07:37.480 --> 01:07:38.940 And they'll just wolf it all down. 1236 01:07:38.980 --> 01:07:41.119 But if they see one take a few nibbles and 1237 01:07:41.139 --> 01:07:43.199 walk away, they're like, oh, he's not going to take 1238 01:07:43.239 --> 01:07:43.579 my shit. 1239 01:07:43.599 --> 01:07:46.739 He doesn't even care about his own. Exactly. When we 1240 01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:48.760 got Benny, we put him down. He was eating his 1241 01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:50.909 food and Frankie was a year old and she came 1242 01:07:51.010 --> 01:07:53.150 over when he was a puppy and he growled at 1243 01:07:53.170 --> 01:07:54.670 her and we went, no, no. And we pulled him 1244 01:07:54.710 --> 01:07:57.110 away from the food. And then she took a couple bites, 1245 01:07:57.150 --> 01:07:58.889 and then we put him back, and he's never done 1246 01:07:58.909 --> 01:08:01.260 it again. After that, they just started eating together out 1247 01:08:01.280 --> 01:08:02.679 of the bowl. That's it. 1248 01:08:03.019 --> 01:08:05.500 These two never growl each other at all. Dre steps 1249 01:08:05.539 --> 01:08:07.619 on his fucking face. That's the only time they hate 1250 01:08:07.659 --> 01:08:09.539 each other is when he crowds. 1251 01:08:10.539 --> 01:08:13.059 Mine, too. They love each other. It's fucking awesome. So 1252 01:08:13.500 --> 01:08:15.780 I guess that's where we'll have to leave this off here. 1253 01:08:16.180 --> 01:08:20.930 I'll leave it off with this. 2009. Okay, because then, yeah, 1254 01:08:20.939 --> 01:08:24.529 the next thing is when the case blows open. Okay, 2009. 1255 01:08:24.529 --> 01:08:30.779 17 years. 17 years. The Iowa DCI set up a 1256 01:08:30.819 --> 01:08:33.760 cold case unit finally. They figured, hey, we might have 1257 01:08:33.779 --> 01:08:36.899 some cases that are old. Corey's murder was one of 1258 01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:41.000 the roughly 150 cases that they hope to revisit with 1259 01:08:41.060 --> 01:08:43.819 new DNA technology now. We'll run all this evidence again 1260 01:08:43.859 --> 01:08:47.670 and get some answers. Unfortunately, that takes a long time. 1261 01:08:47.750 --> 01:08:52.109 And by 2011, the federal grant funding ran out and 1262 01:08:52.130 --> 01:08:55.039 the unit collapsed. What? And they were like, that's that. 1263 01:08:55.060 --> 01:08:57.829 Because the state couldn't afford it. So that was that. 1264 01:08:57.850 --> 01:08:59.569 We have no money now. We have the technology. Now 1265 01:08:59.590 --> 01:09:01.460 we have no money. no way to run it. Nope. 1266 01:09:01.659 --> 01:09:04.460 So there you go. That's where it stops. And then 1267 01:09:04.479 --> 01:09:08.399 it's the most unlikely thing. People you haven't even fucking 1268 01:09:08.439 --> 01:09:11.010 met yet are still to come in this story. And 1269 01:09:12.090 --> 01:09:14.789 a suspect that you do know emerges and it's so 1270 01:09:14.850 --> 01:09:16.569 fucking crazy. And I want to give it the time 1271 01:09:16.609 --> 01:09:19.869 it deserves because there's also very much question of the 1272 01:09:19.949 --> 01:09:23.270 verdict and everything like that. Huge questions there. So it's 1273 01:09:23.329 --> 01:09:26.130 become kind of a cause this case. So we'll get 1274 01:09:26.170 --> 01:09:28.899 to that on the next express. So you're going to 1275 01:09:28.920 --> 01:09:32.260 listen to another three hour episode. And then do that. 1276 01:09:32.300 --> 01:09:35.050 So check that out. Keep coming back and listening to us. 1277 01:09:35.439 --> 01:09:37.909 If you're enjoying this story or enjoying any of the 1278 01:09:37.930 --> 01:09:40.569 stories that we've ever told, get on whatever app you're on. 1279 01:09:40.609 --> 01:09:43.090 Give us five stars.
