This week we’re bringing to you a special guest co-host – Caitlyn’s other partner in crime & brand-spankin’ new husband, Chris. It’s all fun and games – unless your fiancé is a true crime podcaster with a knack for finding your special brand of nightmare fuel.

Susi Larsen, had a promising future. She was a 24-year-old graphic designer and vibrant young woman living in Lake Oswego. In August of 1996 she was eagerly preparing for her wedding that September to her fiancé Keith Hibley. The couple had a unique love story, having met while working at Mattel in California—Susi in the Barbie division and Keith in Hot Wheels. It was just weeks until their big day when Susi showed up at the Tigard apartment of a male acquaintance to pick up jewelry she intended to purchase for the wedding. But that was before suddenly going missing without a trace. When Susi didn’t show up for work the next day, her loved ones grew alarmed and launched a frantic search and quickly involved law enforcement. Their investigation would reveal that it was the same male acquaintance she had visited, Billy Oatney Jr., that was the last known person to see Susi. He quickly became a person of interest after a routine traffic stop revealed a whole host of suspicious items in his vehicle. Though Susi’s mysterious disappearance would not remain unsolved for long, the heartbreaking details of her final moments would leave her family and friends shattered and in disbelief. Susi left a legacy of love that would carry those closest to her through not one, but two trials, for the man responsible for her brutal death. We’ve included information about the memorial fund established partly in her honor below.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,360
When she didn't show up for work the following day, her co-workers and fiance knew immediately

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,440
that something was way off.

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:19,040
This is the part of the movie in the beginning where everything is nice and planning a wedding

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,680
and everything is wonderful.

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,480
I almost forgot that this was going to be a bad story.

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,560
And then now she's gone missing and I'm like, oh yeah, the sucks.

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,800
Yeah, let's just suck.

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,800
[Music]

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,280
Hi Chris.

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,800
Hi, Caitlyn.

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,760
Hello creepy people.

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,760
Hello.

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,600
Did I do it right?

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,600
You did good.

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,600
Yeah, it's, you know, it's just the...

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,040
I've listened to enough of these.

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,640
That's right, that's right.

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,120
It's, you know, it's just the Mrs. Doubtfire.

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,120
Hello.

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,120
Pretty good.

21
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,120
Yeah, pretty good.

22
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,480
You're the expert here.

23
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,720
I mean, I've been doing it for a while now.

24
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:10,720
If you're new to our creepy corner of the world, this is PNW Haunts and Homicides, where we

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:18,160
chat about true crime, the paranormal and all things creepy in the Pacific Northwest.

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,880
We do a tarot reading at the end for deeper insight into this episode, so make sure you stick

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,520
around if you're into that.

28
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,960
They are into it.

29
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:28,960
I think it's been established.

30
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:29,960
Yeah.

31
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:30,960
Just making sure.

32
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:31,960
Oh yeah.

33
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:33,480
No, we say that all the time.

34
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,440
We're like, you know, if you're into it and you are.

35
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,440
Oh, I'm into it.

36
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,440
Yeah.

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,760
Oh my gosh.

38
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,760
I can't believe it's taken this long to drag you on to the show.

39
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:47,760
Yeah.

40
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,680
A lot of behind the scenes stuff.

41
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,680
No kidding.

42
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,480
But now I'm sitting in the hot seat and...

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,480
Yeah.

44
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,480
A little awkward.

45
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,880
I don't know what to do with my hands.

46
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,800
Oh, classic.

47
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:00,800
Classic.

48
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:09,120
Well, for those of you that don't know, well, first of all, this is not Cassie.

49
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,240
I think we were pretty clear about that at the top.

50
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,240
Fintel.

51
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,240
Yeah.

52
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,240
Yeah.

53
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,640
This is my fiancee.

54
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:18,640
Chris.

55
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:20,280
How's it been next week?

56
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,280
Yeah.

57
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,280
That's right.

58
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,280
Exactly.

59
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,280
By the time this comes out, I believe it's a bit of a coincidence.

60
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,520
I believe we will actually be married.

61
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,520
So...

62
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,520
Fintel.

63
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,520
Exactly.

64
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,120
Unless he gets really upset about this episode tonight.

65
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,400
We'll see how this goes.

66
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,400
Yeah.

67
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,720
We'll just see how this goes.

68
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,840
I do sort of have a knack for stumbling upon.

69
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:54,720
I wasn't looking for this per se, but I think I found what I imagine is probably your particular

70
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,240
brand of nightmare fuel.

71
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,240
So...

72
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,240
Oh, okay.

73
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,240
Yeah.

74
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,240
So you're welcome.

75
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,240
Yeah.

76
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,440
I think I'm ready.

77
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,440
Okay.

78
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,440
I'll do okay.

79
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,440
He's like, "Yeah.

80
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,920
I've been listening to your episodes for a while now.

81
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:15,080
I think I know what to expect."

82
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,840
And yet every week, Cassie walks in and out of here, just a totally different person.

83
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,840
Yeah.

84
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,760
She does look different to me every single week.

85
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,680
I don't know what you've been doing to that poor woman.

86
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,680
I know.

87
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,680
I know.

88
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,160
Well, she's going to get to hit the easy button with this one.

89
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Yeah, next.

90
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,160
Yeah.

91
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,720
She has already read the notes for this case.

92
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:39,720
Oh, okay.

93
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,720
Yeah.

94
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,360
I have not read them.

95
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,360
I know.

96
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,360
That's by side.

97
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,360
Yeah.

98
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,160
Usually you're the one that reads them for me, so.

99
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,160
I do.

100
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,760
Proofreads for me a lot.

101
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,880
I think there's not much to proofread, honestly.

102
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:54,880
Yeah.

103
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,200
I'm just getting a sneak peek.

104
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,200
Yeah.

105
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,160
Sometimes he catches some really egregious typos.

106
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,520
I am a grammar hound for that stuff.

107
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,920
It's not even grammar.

108
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,520
It's just like who was typing this?

109
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,320
I drunk monkey.

110
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,320
I was going to say you, but I want to be careful what I say here.

111
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,320
Exactly.

112
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Yeah.

113
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,320
Yeah.

114
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,320
Oh, my goodness.

115
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,320
Okay.

116
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,520
Well, I don't think we really have any business.

117
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,160
Nothing that's new and pressing anyways.

118
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,720
So we're recording this after dark.

119
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:43,880
It's not actually dark outside, but basically what we mean to say, we're recording this at EOD

120
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:44,880
and to business day.

121
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,880
So, you know, Chuck Chuck.

122
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,880
We've already had a long day at work.

123
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,880
Yeah.

124
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,880
We know.

125
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,880
We usually do this on the weekend.

126
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:52,880
That's right.

127
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,880
Yeah.

128
00:04:53,880 --> 00:05:02,080
It'll like all day, all day for one of our weekend days, typically.

129
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,120
This last weekend we got to play hooky for the batch party.

130
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,120
Yeah.

131
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,360
That was a lot of fun.

132
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,360
We went to Hotel Oregon over in McMinnville.

133
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:19,320
We'll post pictures and some videos and some fun stuff from the weekend.

134
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,600
We're looking at right now one of the fun stuff.

135
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,920
Oh, that candle.

136
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,120
Yeah, my gift from one of my gifts from Cassie.

137
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,920
She did herself.

138
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,720
I have my bridal yeti, of course.

139
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,720
I'm jealous.

140
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,720
I know.

141
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,720
Bridal beverages.

142
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:37,720
Very important.

143
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,720
Gotta stay hydrated.

144
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,720
Yeah.

145
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,720
No.

146
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,720
No.

147
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,720
So.

148
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:49,160
And we'll set up the tarot camera here in a little bit and everybody will get to see

149
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,000
this very saucy candle.

150
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,040
I don't know what to say about that.

151
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,960
It's making me a little flush.

152
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,560
I'm blushing over here.

153
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:01,560
Oh.

154
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,560
My virgin eyes.

155
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,200
Oh, that's right.

156
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,200
Yeah.

157
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,600
Do you think anyone's buying that, sir?

158
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,200
I'm doing my best to sell it.

159
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,200
Okay.

160
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,160
Well, let's see if anyone's buying.

161
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,160
Okay.

162
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:27,000
I'm going to get into the story for today so that we can hopefully get to bed before

163
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
midnight tonight.

164
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Yeah.

165
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
We'll see.

166
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Fingers crossed.

167
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
So likely.

168
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
I mean, there we go.

169
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,640
Crossing them a little bit harder, just to really make sure.

170
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,640
Ugh.

171
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,400
Let's not sink in.

172
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,840
Okay.

173
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:49,320
The summer of 1996 was an incredibly happy time for 24-year-old graphic designer, Susi

174
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640
Larsen.

175
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:58,560
At the time she lived in the Lake Oswego area and was preparing for her wedding that September

176
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,680
to her fiance, Keith Hippley.

177
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Wow.

178
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,680
Okay.

179
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,680
Yeah.

180
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,680
I see why you saved this episode for me.

181
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,000
Yeah.

182
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,080
I was like, you have got to be kidding me.

183
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,080
We are preparing for a wedding.

184
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,080
That's true.

185
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,080
Yeah.

186
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:22,800
I mean, and how strange, like, you know, right here in our very own Pacific Northwest,

187
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,800
neck of the woods.

188
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:24,800
Mm-hmm.

189
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,800
Mm-hmm.

190
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,800
Not far from home.

191
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:27,800
Yeah.

192
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,920
I wonder if there are any other parallels.

193
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,480
It's like there is.

194
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,680
Actually, I don't know that there are tons.

195
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:44,360
Some not far from, you know, a lot of places that we know of and have visited, but...

196
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,400
Oh, it's enough for me.

197
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,400
Yeah.

198
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,400
Yeah.

199
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,400
Yeah.

200
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,400
That's enough.

201
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,400
That's enough.

202
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,400
We don't need more.

203
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Yeah.

204
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,560
The couple had met when they both worked at Mattel in California.

205
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,840
She worked for the Barbie Division and he was on with Hot Wheels.

206
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:04,840
On brand.

207
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,840
Yeah.

208
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:12,960
Very gender normative, but like, you know, that's okay.

209
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:19,560
Those that knew Susi best, like her sister Mindy, as well as her father, described her as

210
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,400
optimistic and friendly if it times a bit too trusting.

211
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,400
Okay.

212
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,400
Okay.

213
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Sorry, like, there could have been like at least one more parallel.

214
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Arguably.

215
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,320
Yeah.

216
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,880
That reminds me of somebody I can't quite put my finger on it.

217
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,680
You can drink if you want to.

218
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:42,680
Oh, okay.

219
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:43,680
Yeah.

220
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:44,680
You can drink in a lot of this.

221
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:45,680
Yeah.

222
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:46,680
You can still drink.

223
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:47,680
I got to get through this.

224
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:48,680
I don't know what I'm doing.

225
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:52,240
I'm not a professional like you and Cassie.

226
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,080
You're doing just fine.

227
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:02,040
On August 27th, she went to visit a male acquaintance that she'd met through mutual

228
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,480
friends.

229
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:09,680
He had reportedly agreed to make her a pair of earrings for her upcoming wedding.

230
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:15,280
Some source material says that he was supposed to be making jewelry for her bride's

231
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,280
mates.

232
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,280
Okay.

233
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,240
So I don't know either, either or maybe both.

234
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,960
So it's a little unclear.

235
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,520
I think that's one particular detail that like detectives are probably like, yeah, yeah,

236
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,840
yeah, jewelry, you know, like cool.

237
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:31,840
You shopping.

238
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:32,840
You shopping.

239
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,720
Exactly.

240
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:43,520
This man was known within her friends group, including her roommate, though Susie personally

241
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,320
didn't know him very well.

242
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,920
Oh, this is so funny.

243
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,920
Okay.

244
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:55,120
So this is if my notes, at the time that I was writing this, it says, I just got my own wedding

245
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:02,120
earrings this week.

246
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,880
I don't think I even knew that.

247
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,840
Yeah, they're really pretty.

248
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,560
So maybe I'll have to grab them so that we can take a picture with them on the tarot altar.

249
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:12,560
There you go.

250
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:13,880
Yeah.

251
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:20,040
When she didn't show up for work the following day, her co-workers and fiance knew immediately

252
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,880
that something was way off.

253
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:28,680
This is the part of the movie in the beginning where everything is nice and they're planning

254
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:31,080
and wedding and everything is wonderful.

255
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,960
I almost forgot that this was going to be a bad story.

256
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,920
And then now she's gone missing and I'm like, oh, yeah, the sucks.

257
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,960
Yeah, it's just like it does suck.

258
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:43,960
Yeah.

259
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,680
I know it's it.

260
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:50,720
It kind of hit me partway through because I was like, oh, you know, thinking about our

261
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:56,840
wedding planning and then I was like, oh, that's kind of a bummer.

262
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,640
She just was a really reliable person.

263
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,240
Obviously, it sounds like loved her job.

264
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,000
Graphic design sounds like such a cool job.

265
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Especially in the 90s.

266
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Yeah.

267
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000
That was real new.

268
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Yeah.

269
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,160
So, I mean, she had a really cool job.

270
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,960
She lived in this, you know, hip little part of town.

271
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,440
She was about to get married.

272
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,040
She was just really crushing it lifelys.

273
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,560
So it just wasn't like her to not show up to work.

274
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:29,800
Yeah, sure.

275
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:35,840
No one seemed to have knowledge of her whereabouts between her appointment on the 27th and the following

276
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,160
day.

277
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,040
Her family and friends were quick to act on their concerns and they were furiously putting

278
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:48,240
up flyers all over the Lake Oswego and Tualatin area pretty much right away.

279
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:55,760
While concerned about her inexplicable disappearance, they were still somewhat hopeful that she would

280
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,320
be found and have the wedding of her dreams to look forward to.

281
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,320
Of course.

282
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,320
Yeah.

283
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:08,640
And of course, a lifetime of wedded bliss with the man that she loved so dearly.

284
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:14,280
There had been a strange encounter on Goat Mountain East in Molalla involving a group

285
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:20,680
of youths, four days prior, but little information seems to be available about what specifically

286
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:22,040
occurred.

287
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:28,920
So I don't know if they just encountered each other on a hiking trail, but law enforcement

288
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:34,520
determined the individuals and whatever that interaction was had nothing to do with her

289
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,360
disappearance fairly quickly.

290
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,360
Hooligans.

291
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,360
Hooligans.

292
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,360
I know.

293
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,360
Hooligans and their shenanigans.

294
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,360
Yeah.

295
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:50,240
They turned their attention to exploring other avenues with the case.

296
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:58,240
The man she'd planned to meet that day, Billy Oatney Jr. was first interviewed by police

297
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:06,360
on September 2nd, where he claimed he hadn't seen her in three weeks, which is a little

298
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:13,360
weird for somebody who probably saw her about a week ago, but that's cool.

299
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,360
The math ain't math, and.

300
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,360
Yeah, the math ain't math, and that's right.

301
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,320
Not even if you use girl math.

302
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,880
Seems a little odd, but maybe they didn't meet as planned.

303
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,040
I mean, I think they kind of had to take a look at that, you know.

304
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,000
Even though the friend said, oh yeah, she was supposed to go meet up with him.

305
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,000
It's possible.

306
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,160
It just didn't work out.

307
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,280
It was still early in the investigation, so law enforcement hadn't gathered much to go

308
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:46,080
on and likely had little more than vague suspicions about Billy's statement.

309
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,320
However, that would quickly change.

310
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:55,080
A chain reaction was set in motion by a routine traffic stop in Milwaukee.

311
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,880
They're never routine.

312
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:57,880
They're.

313
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:58,880
They're all but routine.

314
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,920
They're always routine.

315
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,440
That is how all of these guys get caught.

316
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,760
All of them like broken tail light.

317
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,040
Yeah, God.

318
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,080
Just, you know, like maybe make sure that your tail lights work.

319
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:19,080
You know, like they always say like if you're going to be committing crime, like make sure

320
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,000
your taxes are straight, make sure your brake lights work.

321
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,920
I don't want to be accused of creating like a how to guide here, but like it's a little

322
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,080
infuriating that people are that dumb.

323
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,080
Seems like common sense.

324
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,920
Yeah, but you know, it stays stupid.

325
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,400
That's a thing I've heard.

326
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,600
It's working out for the rest of it.

327
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:40,600
It really is.

328
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,560
It really is.

329
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:49,440
The officer noted that when he pulled Billy over that his license plate light was not

330
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,440
working.

331
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,440
Wow.

332
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,440
Yeah.

333
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:58,200
That's not a thing that you usually get pulled over for.

334
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,080
Yeah, it didn't sound like it to me.

335
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,080
Sure.

336
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,080
This wasn't a tip.

337
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:09,600
You know, nothing that I read indicated that they were really sitting on this guy at this

338
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,400
point and Milwaukee.

339
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:19,200
I don't know that they were involved in any efforts with the case at that point either.

340
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,640
So I think this is just like a dumb luck thing where maybe there was something else about

341
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:30,840
the vehicle that looked suspicious or yeah, I don't know.

342
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:37,200
But a cursory search on the ID he presented produced nothing.

343
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,520
Still usually these days the police have bigger fish to fry.

344
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,960
I would say.

345
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:50,600
Wilford Johnston, his passenger, was a different story.

346
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:57,000
You might call him that bigger fish at this stage at least as he had an outstanding warrant

347
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,880
for a parole violation at the time.

348
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,520
So they're like, oh, great.

349
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,520
It's a two-fer.

350
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,520
Nice.

351
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:05,520
Yeah.

352
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:11,720
I don't know if they ticketed him for the license plate light thing, but I don't know.

353
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:12,720
Maybe.

354
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:13,720
Maybe?

355
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:14,720
We're going to say it happened.

356
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,720
Yeah.

357
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,640
Honestly, again, like bigger fish to fry here, but I was curious.

358
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,560
I just, you know, I felt like there were more important things to focus on.

359
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:35,920
The officer also spotted a duffel bag that the pair appeared to be particularly fixated

360
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,920
on, which is so funny because I feel like that's like a little kid who's like trying to sneak

361
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,640
a cookie or something and they're like, like looking at it but trying not to look like

362
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,280
they're looking at it.

363
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,280
Right.

364
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,000
And it's always super obvious.

365
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,600
A duffel bag outside of the gym is always suspicious.

366
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,400
I feel like, yeah.

367
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:04,400
And they apparently didn't look like they were more than likely coming from or to the gym.

368
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:13,040
So Billy allowed the officer to search the bag when asked, which is another one of the

369
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:20,800
dumbest things that I can think of somebody doing in his shoes, but he inventoryed the items

370
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:31,760
inside a replica gun and a large double-bladed knife along with a pellet gun, a stun gun

371
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,920
and duct tape.

372
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:43,360
Oh, and also a lock pick and binoculars, some large scissors and also condoms.

373
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:44,360
Uh-huh.

374
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:45,360
Okay.

375
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:46,360
So nothing to worry about.

376
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:47,360
Yeah.

377
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:48,360
Like what the fuck?

378
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:49,360
Carry on.

379
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:56,000
So creepy as like that isn't no.

380
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Just I don't I don't want to know.

381
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,000
No rope.

382
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000
I you know what?

383
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,040
I was thinking I'm like, there's no gloves.

384
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,040
There's no rope.

385
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,040
So it's fine.

386
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,240
It's probably fine.

387
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,240
Yeah.

388
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:12,120
But I seriously, when I was reading this, I'm like, that is almost as creepy as finding a

389
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:14,960
long buried Israel keys.

390
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,520
Kill kit.

391
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:22,440
Like except this dumbass apparently thought his duffel bag contained no red flags.

392
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,360
He was like, there's no gloves.

393
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:25,840
There's no rope.

394
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,320
It's fine.

395
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,080
This is my state like I take this with me everywhere.

396
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,080
Who doesn't?

397
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,080
I mean, yeah.

398
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,320
Got one in my trunk right now.

399
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,680
Chris is like, I have nothing to say about that.

400
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,880
Chris is like, I have second thoughts.

401
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:52,720
Now, as probably literally no one is surprised to learn, these two jackalopes are firmly planted

402
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,280
on law enforcement's radar.

403
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,600
They had just become persons of interest in Susi's case.

404
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,800
Obviously, it wasn't like there was an official announcement at the time, but anyone who was

405
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:11,520
on the fringes of this front group that had an awareness of Susi's scheduled meeting

406
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,800
with Billy.

407
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:21,960
And then his subsequent questioning, as well as his friends arrest, frankly, they had to

408
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,640
be shitting their pants.

409
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:24,640
It's not looking good.

410
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,760
No, it's not looking good at all.

411
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:35,640
Law enforcement already had Wilford, his buddy in custody due to his outstanding warrant.

412
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:42,080
When they listened to taped conversations between Wilford and Billy from jail, they learned

413
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:47,400
that their prisoner's friend may have involvement in the disappearance of Susie Larson.

414
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,640
Those dummies.

415
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:54,520
I do, do people not just, you don't know that those calls are recorded?

416
00:19:54,520 --> 00:20:01,040
I feel like in the movies, when they pick up the phone, it even says, as it's dialing,

417
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,560
this call is being recorded.

418
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:04,560
Is that not a thing?

419
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:05,560
I have no idea.

420
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,560
I need to get your dad on the call.

421
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,760
I have a lot of questions.

422
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,280
Yeah, he might know.

423
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,440
You would probably know.

424
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:21,000
Billy's landlord consented to a search following law enforcement's dedicated efforts keep close

425
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,680
observation of the two as they built their case.

426
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:30,680
Oddly, Billy had moved out of his apartment shortly after Susi's disappearance.

427
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,440
I mean, I don't think it's that weird.

428
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,080
People like to move.

429
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,080
Yeah.

430
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,560
But maybe he had already made those plans.

431
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,040
He seems like a discerning dude.

432
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,440
Keep in mind, there are some limitations when it comes to forensic evidence and testing

433
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,000
at this point.

434
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:57,360
They found blood on the carpet in the apartment that was a match to Susie's blood type.

435
00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:00,160
Blood type is still a pretty broad.

436
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,760
We're getting there, but not quite.

437
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,760
Yeah.

438
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,080
We feel like we're getting on to something.

439
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:13,320
They were then also able to get a search warrant for his vehicle where they recovered the

440
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:18,720
previously described creepy, presumed on a live in kit.

441
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:25,240
Law enforcement continued their surveillance efforts, now seemingly singularly focused

442
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:30,520
on Billy, seeing as they already had Wilford in custody.

443
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,520
And then they already cleared those meddling kids.

444
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,520
Right.

445
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,520
The hooligans.

446
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,880
Yeah, the hooligans and their shenanigans.

447
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:46,120
It's unclear to me when the following details were uncovered in the investigation efforts,

448
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:53,200
but local law enforcement learned some disturbing details about some of the time that Billy spent

449
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,200
abroad.

450
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,680
A Broadway.

451
00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:01,200
He had served in the military overseas in Japan.

452
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:07,240
During his time in the service, he'd been arrested and convicted for assault, as well as

453
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:12,720
attempted murder following a vicious attack on a fellow service member.

454
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,720
Well, okay.

455
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:14,720
Yeah.

456
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,960
Little aggressive, even for the military.

457
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,200
Not a great sign.

458
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,600
He had slit the man's throat.

459
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,600
Whoa, okay.

460
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,680
So like actual attempted murder.

461
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:29,680
Oh, yeah.

462
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,680
Not like I beat you up a little too bad.

463
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,720
Yeah, no, this isn't con air.

464
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,720
Yeah, yeah.

465
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,280
That's the one where he beats the guy up too badly and goes to prison because he's a deadly

466
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,280
weapon, right?

467
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,800
Oh God, that does sound like a Nicholas Cage movie.

468
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,200
It is a Nicholas Cage movie.

469
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:53,440
Well, no, I know that, but like just the premise, like my hands are registered weapons.

470
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:58,880
They're not registered, but you can actually be, I looked into this recently and I can't

471
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,840
say why, but I did look into this recently.

472
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:10,920
You can be charged even if you don't have like a physical traditionally speaking weapon.

473
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:16,040
Your hands can be considered weapons, but registering them is not a thing.

474
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:22,000
So for all of you weirdos on that corner of the internet saying how you registered.

475
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,720
Those words, I might have to do that.

476
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,760
Again, I say weirdos.

477
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,080
Oh, thanks.

478
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,240
Oh gosh.

479
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:41,080
Based on the charges levied against Billy, it's safe to say that his victim in that case

480
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:47,840
survived, but it's hard to imagine something more horrific and traumatic.

481
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:55,840
Billy was sentenced to 22 years, but only served 13, which what is going on?

482
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,640
Like we've got one service member attacking another.

483
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:08,040
He's sentenced to the better part of 25 years and he serves like a little over half of it.

484
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:14,760
Like if the military is kind of taking that, that sort of a stance or really like let them

485
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,760
off easy.

486
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,760
What?

487
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:17,760
What?

488
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,240
No, maybe they didn't like the other guy.

489
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,240
Kind of a dick.

490
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,360
They're like still like we kind of get it.

491
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:27,120
Yeah, yikes.

492
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:36,280
I mean, maybe following his release, he moved to Portland because that's where that's

493
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,160
where you should go.

494
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:44,320
He'd only been released and in turn living in the local area for just a few short months

495
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,800
at the time of Susi's disappearance.

496
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,080
Back to the search for Susi.

497
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:57,800
13 days after her disappearance, Susi was found.

498
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:06,000
She was discovered at Champoeg Park with telltale signs of a truly horrendous attack.

499
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,360
Her body was found bound and gagged.

500
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:18,760
She'd been suffocated after having endured a vicious sexual assault and torture with

501
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,960
a stun gun.

502
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,480
Well, that is not great.

503
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:31,520
It's not great, but you know what is great is that they already know where that stun gun

504
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,520
is.

505
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,880
Okay, well, that is great.

506
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,720
Yeah.

507
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:44,600
Her family naturally was absolutely devastated to learn of her murder and the details of

508
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,760
her death.

509
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:56,840
I mean, to lose a loved one that way, for them to be murdered, but for it to be such a

510
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:04,280
horrific murder, pretty awful.

511
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:13,160
They held her funeral and buried her on what would have been her wedding day that September.

512
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,280
Why that day?

513
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:26,520
I mean, typically when someone passes away, you have a relatively finite window.

514
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:33,760
In this case, I would presume they did not do something like open casket, which really

515
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,840
gets the clock moving.

516
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:47,760
But yeah, I mean, that it's really important for a lot of people to be able to start to have

517
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,440
a sense of closure and to begin to heal.

518
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:58,520
In the short span of just a couple of weeks, they had endured the depredation and complete

519
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:06,680
obliteration of every hope or dream for Susie's future.

520
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:14,520
And I know that everybody that is taken in this manner, the same can be said for their

521
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:22,200
families, but it just seems so sad because it's like, you know, she was just at this next

522
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,120
big point in her life.

523
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:26,120
Right.

524
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:28,680
And it happened right before that.

525
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:35,120
I mean, yeah, the timing is not good.

526
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:36,880
No, it's awful.

527
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:45,240
I'm not sure there's any good timing to be murdered in that way, but yeah, that's unfortunate.

528
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:50,040
It just feels particularly sad because of that.

529
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:58,160
Her mother Shannon said she could do nothing when told of her daughter's death except scream.

530
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:04,960
The days, weeks and months following her death have been endless, emotional thoughts of

531
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,480
her, suffering, and then taken away completely.

532
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:25,000
It just gives me the heaps and the jeeps.

533
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,480
It's the date that Billy's lawyer told him to come forward and share the facts of the

534
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,800
case as he knew them to law enforcement.

535
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:41,160
By this time, he and his girlfriend had hired the private attorney who it should be noted

536
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:47,240
did not have a background or experience in practicing criminal law.

537
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,560
What did he have a background in?

538
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,960
I'm not really sure.

539
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,640
I think they probably just found someone that they could afford.

540
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,400
They probably just felt like it was important to have representation.

541
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,400
Okay.

542
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,200
I don't think the girlfriend had to worry that long about having representation.

543
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:12,200
I think pretty quickly she was like, okay, so I'm going to go now.

544
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,200
Bye.

545
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,640
Probably a good idea.

546
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:15,640
Yeah.

547
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:16,640
A wise choice.

548
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:22,120
He said he'd initially stayed quiet because he didn't have a solid alibi.

549
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:28,240
It was afraid that he would be implicated in the murder based on the circumstances.

550
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,840
You know, like it happened in his apartment.

551
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,840
Can't have that.

552
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:34,840
No.

553
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:41,360
Although I will say granted, it's all probably people that are intoxicated to some degree.

554
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:49,520
But like, how is being at a bar in a very public place for, you know, a set period of time,

555
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,240
not a good alibi?

556
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,160
You would think.

557
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,000
You would think.

558
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:00,040
Please ask for permission to play part of his recorded statement to Wilford and Billy

559
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,840
agreed.

560
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,360
A lot dumb things happening here.

561
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:12,680
When he learned that Billy had turned on him, Wilford was angry and finally decided to

562
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,280
provide new information to the police.

563
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:23,000
He'd been staying with Billy in the days leading up to Susi's disappearance and murder.

564
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:29,000
After hearing the recording of Billy's conversation with the authorities, he recalled the events

565
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,800
sharing a markedly different story from that of Billy.

566
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:34,800
No way.

567
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,640
I know what?

568
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:43,440
He's like, no, I definitely didn't do that.

569
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:49,840
Wilford said that on the very night of her disappearance, Billy had told Wilford that

570
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:56,560
he had been on a date with Susie when he brought her back to his place.

571
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,920
Okay.

572
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,680
Survey says that's a lie.

573
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:11,680
Wilford recalled hearing a stun gun from the other room, which is probably not a sound

574
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,120
most of us are likely to hear every day.

575
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:20,320
I don't know that if that noise came from another room and out of context that I would be able

576
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,520
to readily identify it.

577
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:25,720
But I would have questions.

578
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:31,800
I would have follow up questions and I would go to seek that information and probably immediately

579
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,080
be stun gunned.

580
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,080
So that's...

581
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:39,040
I would be shocked if I heard that.

582
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,280
You did not.

583
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,680
You know how we like that.

584
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,640
You know how we feel about dad jokes.

585
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,680
In any case, it got his attention.

586
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:58,520
He came into the room to find Billy on top of Susi on the living room floor with the stun

587
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,800
gun to her neck.

588
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:01,800
Okay.

589
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:02,800
Just casual.

590
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,160
That's...

591
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,400
We do that like every other Tuesday.

592
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,400
Yeah.

593
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:21,240
Up to this point, Wilford is only guilty of whatever past crimes he had committed.

594
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:30,080
And maybe also of having a slightly creepy friend, which if I were the leader of this country,

595
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,840
I would make it a crime.

596
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,480
Being creepy is a crime.

597
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,160
No, we can't say that.

598
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,160
We don't like creepy people.

599
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,160
Yeah.

600
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,160
No, but I mean like creepy in a bad way.

601
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,040
You can be creepy like in a good way.

602
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,440
Like creepy cute.

603
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,920
Creepy spooky.

604
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:46,920
Creepy.

605
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,760
Just don't be a creep.

606
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,840
Don't yeah, don't be a creep.

607
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,400
Don't be like an in-sau creep.

608
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,400
Don't be a...

609
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,400
There's...

610
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,040
The list goes on and on.

611
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:07,120
All of the other adjectives that I'm going to slide next to creep are very heteronormative

612
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,200
for the males in the audience and...

613
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,160
Oh, oh, okay.

614
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,160
And they're all gone.

615
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,160
Poof.

616
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,160
I know.

617
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:24,200
All three of them.

618
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:31,600
Like that one time, we got a response to a tweet that we put out from a male listener.

619
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,280
And he was like, "Hey, there's five of us."

620
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,000
Yeah, that's funny.

621
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:44,440
Instead of intervening for Susi's safety or simply removing himself from the situation

622
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:50,520
to get help, Wilford helped Billy tie Susie up.

623
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:51,760
As one does.

624
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,840
I like how your face said one thing and then your mouth's another one.

625
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,760
And somewhere in the middle, you were just like, "I'm so uncomfortable."

626
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,000
Very much, yeah.

627
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:13,400
Billy then proceeded to cut off her clothing and sexually assault her, which is just...

628
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:19,640
Trying to stick to the basics and the facts of the case on this and not be too terribly

629
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:27,000
graphic, but even knowing some of the details of the attack before hearing Wilford's

630
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,880
recounting of events, it's truly shocking.

631
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:38,160
Which, I mean, just a series of events and the fact that like, "Okay, maybe you didn't

632
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,120
know this guy was going to do something like that."

633
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,160
But then you're presented with this situation and...

634
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,800
Little to me, girl.

635
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:47,800
Yeah.

636
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:48,800
Well, bet.

637
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:53,800
I mean, it seems like you're into it.

638
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:54,800
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

639
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,600
You're part of this.

640
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:03,680
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to go around throwing out the word accomplice, you know, all Willie

641
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,600
Nilly, but allegedly.

642
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,000
Allegedly.

643
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Or allegendly.

644
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,000
No, okay.

645
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,000
I like that.

646
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,400
We made that word up recently, so.

647
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,400
Oh, okay.

648
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,120
Yeah, that was Cassie's brainchild.

649
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,680
You guys make up a lot of words.

650
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:20,680
We do.

651
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,680
It's hard to keep up.

652
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:22,680
I know.

653
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:23,680
I know.

654
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,160
When the ideas are this good, you just got to roll with it.

655
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,160
Gotta let them out.

656
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,160
Gotta let the people know.

657
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,760
You gotta let the people know.

658
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,200
You guys, we have something really exciting to share with you.

659
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,080
Let's hear a few words from our new pod besties.

660
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,680
A little bit de todo, though, is a podcast about a little bit of everything, for curious minds

661
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:45,680
of all ages.

662
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,160
I'm Christina, and you can tune in every weekday to learn about things like Cinco de Mayo,

663
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,680
Chihuahua's, and volcanoes in Latin America.

664
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,080
Those are bite-sized, 10 minutes long or less, and always Latin American-related.

665
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,560
Subscribe and follow a little bit de todo podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.

666
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,280
Check them out, creepy people.

667
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:07,240
You can find their info in our show notes.

668
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:13,080
Maybe because there's a little part of me that even knowing how the story ends, had

669
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:20,720
hope that rather than going along with his friend, that Wilford would help her.

670
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:31,680
There were so many opportunities for this person to, I mean, even the point of after this has

671
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,120
all been horrifically perpetrated on her.

672
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:41,880
There are so many opportunities for this man to go, "Fuck, this is awful, and I'm probably

673
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:51,320
going to spend the rest of my life in prison because I did, in fact, by my own confession.

674
00:36:51,320 --> 00:37:00,760
I've admitted to this that I played a very significant role in this crime."

675
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:08,720
He could have done that, and that would have even been slightly redeemable.

676
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:09,720
Really slight.

677
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:12,720
Very slight slinest.

678
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:13,720
Yeah.

679
00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:20,840
But there's so many opportunities for this to have not gone this far.

680
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:27,000
For this person to have tried to have done the right thing somewhere along the line.

681
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:35,400
Quite to the contrary, he assisted very directly in her heartbreaking fate.

682
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:42,840
During the attack, the men forced Susi to provide her ATM card and pin.

683
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:48,480
Wilford went to an ATM to withdraw cash and returned to find Billy attempting to kill

684
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,360
her.

685
00:37:50,360 --> 00:38:00,040
He returned to find that the victim had blood on her face and was not moving.

686
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:09,720
This next portion is from Court testimony, and I will say that it is rough.

687
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:12,040
Have we not got to the rough part stuff?

688
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,040
Yeah.

689
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,040
I know.

690
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,040
Really?

691
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,280
That's pretty much what Cassie says like every week.

692
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,280
Yeah.

693
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,400
No, it's pretty rough.

694
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:28,940
This really just has more to do with the difficulty of hearing the testimony of multiple

695
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:31,940
parties involved.

696
00:38:31,940 --> 00:38:32,940
Yeah.

697
00:38:32,940 --> 00:38:33,940
Okay.

698
00:38:33,940 --> 00:38:39,780
Let's get into it.

699
00:38:39,780 --> 00:38:45,400
Wilford testified that Billy told him upon his return that he had hit and choked the

700
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:51,940
victim because she quote, "Just wouldn't have sex with me."

701
00:38:51,940 --> 00:38:54,940
Well, that is a reason.

702
00:38:54,940 --> 00:38:55,940
Yeah.

703
00:38:55,940 --> 00:38:57,940
Not a good one.

704
00:38:57,940 --> 00:38:58,940
Yeah.

705
00:38:58,940 --> 00:39:11,980
He further stated that he had tried to kill her, but that she just wouldn't die.

706
00:39:11,980 --> 00:39:19,420
Wilford stated that he then helped Billy as he held a plastic bag over Susi's head until

707
00:39:19,420 --> 00:39:23,460
she stopped breathing.

708
00:39:23,460 --> 00:39:30,780
The following day, Billy Oatney Jr. was officially placed under arrest.

709
00:39:30,780 --> 00:39:35,580
Meanwhile, Wilford negotiated a plea deal.

710
00:39:35,580 --> 00:39:42,940
In 1998, Billy was found guilty and sentenced to death.

711
00:39:42,940 --> 00:39:43,940
The end.

712
00:39:43,940 --> 00:39:44,940
Just kidding.

713
00:39:44,940 --> 00:39:45,940
Yeah.

714
00:39:45,940 --> 00:39:46,940
No.

715
00:39:46,940 --> 00:39:48,940
I was like, that's an abrupt ending.

716
00:39:48,940 --> 00:39:51,180
Yeah, you're like, that's so weird.

717
00:39:51,180 --> 00:39:56,100
You didn't talk about the trial or that's like very little testimony.

718
00:39:56,100 --> 00:40:00,580
It's very little that you've said about the whole case.

719
00:40:00,580 --> 00:40:09,520
Susi's sister Mindy told Oatney at his sentencing, "I hate you for what you did to my sister and

720
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,940
I hate you for what you did to my family.

721
00:40:12,940 --> 00:40:19,140
My hope is that you will feel one ounce of the pain and fear that Susi felt.

722
00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:24,460
And every day to the day of your execution, your life is a living hell."

723
00:40:24,460 --> 00:40:27,460
"Here's to hope."

724
00:40:27,460 --> 00:40:28,460
Yeah.

725
00:40:28,460 --> 00:40:38,680
Susi's father, Ted, also spoke at the sentencing stating, "She trusted and she saw the good

726
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,060
in everyone.

727
00:40:41,060 --> 00:40:46,340
That innocent trust ultimately led to her death."

728
00:40:46,340 --> 00:40:48,900
How dare you?

729
00:40:48,900 --> 00:40:56,740
Your legacy will be one of murder, one of rape, one of satamy, one of pain.

730
00:40:56,740 --> 00:41:01,980
You have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this life and never have.

731
00:41:01,980 --> 00:41:03,460
I hope you rotten hell.

732
00:41:03,460 --> 00:41:06,940
That was a good speech.

733
00:41:06,940 --> 00:41:08,700
I think so too.

734
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:18,860
I think a lot of times the statements that we hear from families tend to send her more

735
00:41:18,860 --> 00:41:26,380
on forgiveness in one respect or another.

736
00:41:26,380 --> 00:41:33,220
And I think part of the reason why we do is that it's really difficult to think about

737
00:41:33,220 --> 00:41:39,700
being able to forgive someone that did this to a person that you love.

738
00:41:39,700 --> 00:41:40,900
Right.

739
00:41:40,900 --> 00:41:47,620
And I think, and you know, if that's what they've done, how they feel, that's great and

740
00:41:47,620 --> 00:41:56,220
all, because forgiveness is often to help themselves, which is what they need.

741
00:41:56,220 --> 00:41:58,940
But no, I prefer hate.

742
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,940
Yeah.

743
00:41:59,940 --> 00:42:00,940
I hate that guy.

744
00:42:00,940 --> 00:42:01,940
Yeah.

745
00:42:01,940 --> 00:42:02,940
I know.

746
00:42:02,940 --> 00:42:03,940
Don't know him.

747
00:42:03,940 --> 00:42:04,940
Never met him.

748
00:42:04,940 --> 00:42:05,940
Hope to never.

749
00:42:05,940 --> 00:42:06,940
Still hate him.

750
00:42:06,940 --> 00:42:07,940
Still hate him.

751
00:42:07,940 --> 00:42:08,940
Yeah.

752
00:42:08,940 --> 00:42:11,700
That's the party line in this house.

753
00:42:11,700 --> 00:42:12,700
And the dad's right.

754
00:42:12,700 --> 00:42:13,700
That's his legacy.

755
00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:15,740
That's all I know about this guy.

756
00:42:15,740 --> 00:42:20,660
Literally the only thing, you know, he is a piece of shit, yeah, every which way, every

757
00:42:20,660 --> 00:42:25,140
which way from here to Japan.

758
00:42:25,140 --> 00:42:34,940
On his way back to his seat, Larsen whispered, a clearly heard obscenity to Oatney, who replied,

759
00:42:34,940 --> 00:42:35,940
pardon?

760
00:42:35,940 --> 00:42:45,060
Pretty ballsy for a man who can now only be kept safe by the state.

761
00:42:45,060 --> 00:42:52,220
And there would not be a place you could run to that you would be safe for me if you did

762
00:42:52,220 --> 00:42:55,180
this to one of my family members.

763
00:42:55,180 --> 00:42:56,180
Yeah.

764
00:42:56,180 --> 00:43:02,780
Not that we're advocating for vigilante justice or violence to be clear.

765
00:43:02,780 --> 00:43:11,260
When Oatney addressed the court, because of course he's gonna, he again took the opportunity

766
00:43:11,260 --> 00:43:18,740
to blame the crime on his buddy Wilford because of course.

767
00:43:18,740 --> 00:43:26,340
He said of Susie that she was quote, "A beautiful person inside and out.

768
00:43:26,340 --> 00:43:30,020
I am happy to have known her.

769
00:43:30,020 --> 00:43:35,540
The absolute audacity of this man."

770
00:43:35,540 --> 00:43:45,060
But he goes on to say that the hatred and contempt of Susi's family toward him quote, "discraces

771
00:43:45,060 --> 00:43:47,980
Susi Larsen's name.

772
00:43:47,980 --> 00:43:54,460
If that makes them feel better about themselves, well, I hope that eases their pain.

773
00:43:54,460 --> 00:43:58,820
These people are praying to God that I be hurt and degraded.

774
00:43:58,820 --> 00:44:02,460
You people are not godly."

775
00:44:02,460 --> 00:44:03,700
No one's buying your shit.

776
00:44:03,700 --> 00:44:10,540
Yeah, I mean, if that isn't the pot calling the kettle, that really got me hot when I

777
00:44:10,540 --> 00:44:16,020
read that I was just like, you're saving any kind of face here.

778
00:44:16,020 --> 00:44:18,660
No, no.

779
00:44:18,660 --> 00:44:22,780
Even if that was a thousand percent, if you were innocent and that was a thousand percent

780
00:44:22,780 --> 00:44:30,660
the truth, you still look like the asshole.

781
00:44:30,660 --> 00:44:34,140
Another first of all, how fucking dare you?

782
00:44:34,140 --> 00:44:40,100
And second of all, none of what they've said to you publicly is even a fraction of what

783
00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:41,580
I'm sure they feel.

784
00:44:41,580 --> 00:44:46,300
Well, just be honest, they're certainly not alone in that.

785
00:44:46,300 --> 00:44:47,740
We're on board.

786
00:44:47,740 --> 00:44:54,940
The details of Susi's murder left many horrified and disgusted.

787
00:44:54,940 --> 00:45:00,620
Susi's fiance Keith spoke as well, stating she had been the love of his life.

788
00:45:00,620 --> 00:45:07,980
"That life was snuffed out by that man sitting there," he said, refusing to acknowledge her

789
00:45:07,980 --> 00:45:10,220
killer by name.

790
00:45:10,220 --> 00:45:16,740
It seems like only a few months ago that I stood along a rushing river and gave Susie a ring.

791
00:45:16,740 --> 00:45:22,100
I'll cherish that moment as the happiest moment in my life.

792
00:45:22,100 --> 00:45:28,460
Billy filed multiple appeals following his conviction and sentencing, which of course

793
00:45:28,460 --> 00:45:33,900
is not in common, but really fucking annoying.

794
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:37,740
But in 2015, he was actually successful.

795
00:45:37,740 --> 00:45:43,460
The Oregon Court of Appeals agreed that he should be granted a new trial based on inadequate

796
00:45:43,460 --> 00:45:45,700
assistance of counsel.

797
00:45:45,700 --> 00:45:47,220
Here we go, Dan.

798
00:45:47,220 --> 00:45:48,380
Yeah.

799
00:45:48,380 --> 00:45:53,100
And honestly, I hate it, but they're not wrong.

800
00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:59,180
By the time his trial had gotten underway, Billy had a different attorney representing him,

801
00:45:59,180 --> 00:46:05,260
then the one representing him on the day he provided the damning recorded statement to

802
00:46:05,260 --> 00:46:06,780
authorities.

803
00:46:06,780 --> 00:46:15,220
That was October 23rd, and it is single-handedly what turned Wilford against him.

804
00:46:15,220 --> 00:46:20,900
He was aware that he had been promised immunity by the DA.

805
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:26,500
When he said in the statements provided that date should have been used against him in

806
00:46:26,500 --> 00:46:33,300
prosecution, the statement Wilford made in the case that incriminated Billy was only provided

807
00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:39,740
once he'd heard the recording of Billy's own statement.

808
00:46:39,740 --> 00:46:43,900
The former then led to Billy's arrest.

809
00:46:43,900 --> 00:46:46,740
It's fruit from a poison tree.

810
00:46:46,740 --> 00:46:50,180
Yeah, I was just going to say, "Further the poison is true."

811
00:46:50,180 --> 00:46:56,580
That's why you have to be so meticulous and careful about your evidence gathering and

812
00:46:56,580 --> 00:46:59,940
interviews and all of it.

813
00:46:59,940 --> 00:47:00,940
Yeah.

814
00:47:00,940 --> 00:47:06,460
One mistake, one misstep, it can take everything down.

815
00:47:06,460 --> 00:47:08,020
Yeah.

816
00:47:08,020 --> 00:47:14,900
His attorney had the opportunity to read through the immunity agreement as well as his transcribed

817
00:47:14,900 --> 00:47:17,140
official statement.

818
00:47:17,140 --> 00:47:23,340
He argued in court that not only should Wilford statements not be used in court, but neither

819
00:47:23,340 --> 00:47:28,180
should any of the derivative evidence that came from them.

820
00:47:28,180 --> 00:47:34,660
The judge granted this motion, but Billy's attorney never raised the issue with Wilford

821
00:47:34,660 --> 00:47:36,860
statements at trial.

822
00:47:36,860 --> 00:47:40,460
So he brought it up, but then it was like he just forgot.

823
00:47:40,460 --> 00:47:41,460
Whoops.

824
00:47:41,460 --> 00:47:43,980
Yep.

825
00:47:43,980 --> 00:47:49,100
He would later state that he thought the statements made by Wilford were not covered

826
00:47:49,100 --> 00:47:57,620
by the immunity agreement, which kind of makes sense because whatever Wilford says is

827
00:47:57,620 --> 00:47:59,940
separate from whatever your claim is saying.

828
00:47:59,940 --> 00:48:09,020
Like in that respect, maybe I could see it, but sir, sir, you are a lawyer.

829
00:48:09,020 --> 00:48:15,180
It was weird, since he filed a motion to suppress them, and that was actually granted, but you

830
00:48:15,180 --> 00:48:23,260
know, makes it seem like his legal representation was possibly either day drinking through the

831
00:48:23,260 --> 00:48:28,700
trial or just extremely ineffectual, either way, not exactly ideal.

832
00:48:28,700 --> 00:48:29,700
Could be both.

833
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:30,700
Two things can be true.

834
00:48:30,700 --> 00:48:32,740
I'm not proud about it.

835
00:48:32,740 --> 00:48:33,740
Yeah.

836
00:48:33,740 --> 00:48:37,820
Well, there were some people that were mad about it.

837
00:48:37,820 --> 00:48:43,220
Wilford's court of appeals pointed out that at the pre-trial hearing his attorney did raise

838
00:48:43,220 --> 00:48:51,500
the issue, but they could not understand why he didn't continue doing so at trial, just

839
00:48:51,500 --> 00:48:53,420
kind of when it counts.

840
00:48:53,420 --> 00:48:54,420
For a point.

841
00:48:54,420 --> 00:48:55,620
Yep.

842
00:48:55,620 --> 00:49:01,380
The prosecution's case dating back to 1996 was based on the statements and really not

843
00:49:01,380 --> 00:49:10,540
a whole lot else because we also didn't have super advanced forensic DNA testing.

844
00:49:10,540 --> 00:49:11,860
Not great.

845
00:49:11,860 --> 00:49:16,300
They had the blood found in his apartment that they linked to Susie, but back then it was

846
00:49:16,300 --> 00:49:17,860
only a blood type match.

847
00:49:17,860 --> 00:49:21,500
So not exactly a slam dunk.

848
00:49:21,500 --> 00:49:28,220
In January of 2023, his second trial got underway.

849
00:49:28,220 --> 00:49:34,860
According to the new trial, Susi's sister Mindy said, "It just feels wrong.

850
00:49:34,860 --> 00:49:41,380
You want a fair trial for everybody involved, but a fair trial is having the jury hear all

851
00:49:41,380 --> 00:49:43,580
the evidence.

852
00:49:43,580 --> 00:49:47,220
And this time around, it's not the case.

853
00:49:47,220 --> 00:49:53,340
We know too much, and the frustration is tough."

854
00:49:53,340 --> 00:49:58,500
She spoke about the difficulty of testifying in her sister's case, again, stating that

855
00:49:58,500 --> 00:50:04,020
she found it particularly challenging to be able to provide what felt like complete

856
00:50:04,020 --> 00:50:11,580
answers in some cases due to some of the prior evidence no longer being allowed.

857
00:50:11,580 --> 00:50:12,580
Yeah.

858
00:50:12,580 --> 00:50:13,580
That's understandable.

859
00:50:13,580 --> 00:50:20,740
Really tricky because this is just a person who's, you know, ostensibly a witness, you

860
00:50:20,740 --> 00:50:27,380
know, they're testifying, but they're not directly involved, obviously, in the crime itself.

861
00:50:27,380 --> 00:50:31,660
And they're not very well acquainted with legal system.

862
00:50:31,660 --> 00:50:36,380
That's, it's a lot to ask.

863
00:50:36,380 --> 00:50:43,500
I just, I can't even fathom the frustration that she must have felt.

864
00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:48,460
She's been vocal about her sister's case since she was taken from their family nearly

865
00:50:48,460 --> 00:50:52,300
three decades ago.

866
00:50:52,300 --> 00:51:01,260
On Tuesday, February 7, 2023, at age 60, Billy Oatney Jr. was convicted of murder in the

867
00:51:01,260 --> 00:51:11,580
first degree for the 1996 sexual assault and murder of Susi Larsen for the second time.

868
00:51:11,580 --> 00:51:17,540
The jury was permitted to hear about his previous violent history, including his prior conviction

869
00:51:17,540 --> 00:51:19,580
for attempted murder.

870
00:51:19,580 --> 00:51:24,740
That took place in Japan when he was a service member.

871
00:51:24,740 --> 00:51:33,020
They found that he had not been deterred from violent acts previously, noting the short

872
00:51:33,020 --> 00:51:38,620
time between his release and Susi's death.

873
00:51:38,620 --> 00:51:47,500
Additionally, just days after murdering Susi, Billy had been stalking a exotic dancer.

874
00:51:47,500 --> 00:51:53,180
And told friends he wanted to make her his love slave.

875
00:51:53,180 --> 00:51:54,180
"Yuck."

876
00:51:54,180 --> 00:51:56,300
Yeah.

877
00:51:56,300 --> 00:52:06,020
So clearly he didn't see any need to stop his criminal and violent behavior against women.

878
00:52:06,020 --> 00:52:11,980
Ultimately, the jury felt there was no possibility of rehabilitation for Billy.

879
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,460
"I agree."

880
00:52:13,460 --> 00:52:14,460
Yeah.

881
00:52:14,460 --> 00:52:18,220
Finally, making the right choice.

882
00:52:18,220 --> 00:52:23,820
Taking this into account following his second conviction, the judge sentenced him to life

883
00:52:23,820 --> 00:52:28,020
without the possibility of wrong.

884
00:52:28,020 --> 00:52:33,700
And all I have to say is, "Syanara Sakha."

885
00:52:33,700 --> 00:52:37,180
You had me worried with this whole new trial thing.

886
00:52:37,180 --> 00:52:39,540
I didn't know which way this was going to go.

887
00:52:39,540 --> 00:52:41,140
It wasn't looking good.

888
00:52:41,140 --> 00:52:43,540
It's a wild case.

889
00:52:43,540 --> 00:52:51,860
Anytime that they are granted an appeal at that point and so many years later, like that

890
00:52:51,860 --> 00:52:55,780
too, it definitely just makes you a little bit nervous.

891
00:52:55,780 --> 00:53:03,180
But I think that unfortunately, even if they, fortunately or unfortunately, just depending

892
00:53:03,180 --> 00:53:10,700
on which side you're on, after that much time has passed, a lot of times the technology

893
00:53:10,700 --> 00:53:19,660
and the different resources that we have available to nail your super creeper-ass, they're that

894
00:53:19,660 --> 00:53:20,660
much better.

895
00:53:20,660 --> 00:53:24,380
So it's unfortunate for Billy, I suppose.

896
00:53:24,380 --> 00:53:26,700
But do you even care about that?

897
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:34,060
Yeah, but I mean for the family to have to go through all of that again, regardless

898
00:53:34,060 --> 00:53:36,660
of the outcome.

899
00:53:36,660 --> 00:53:39,380
That was those tough.

900
00:53:39,380 --> 00:53:46,740
Yeah, and seeing the interviews that her sister did with a number of local news channels

901
00:53:46,740 --> 00:53:55,660
and things, I can really tell the toll that that took on her personally.

902
00:53:55,660 --> 00:53:59,780
I believe at this point both of their parents have passed.

903
00:53:59,780 --> 00:54:06,820
So I do think that's another layer of difficulty because that puts a lot of the weight on her

904
00:54:06,820 --> 00:54:13,060
shoulders to really see this through.

905
00:54:13,060 --> 00:54:25,340
Another super creepy detail about this case, the apartments where she was killed, they're

906
00:54:25,340 --> 00:54:31,060
untiegored, have driven by them.

907
00:54:31,060 --> 00:54:33,860
Probably a ton of times, I know of them.

908
00:54:33,860 --> 00:54:42,020
As soon as I heard the name of the complex, it's called, I believe, "brighten apartments."

909
00:54:42,020 --> 00:54:45,820
I was like, "You've got to be kidding me."

910
00:54:45,820 --> 00:54:54,620
These are, I know, it's just all of these places that, you know, in Champoeg Park, God,

911
00:54:54,620 --> 00:54:58,620
why you got a ruined old, like, come on.

912
00:54:58,620 --> 00:55:01,860
You are choosing cases in your neck of the woods.

913
00:55:01,860 --> 00:55:03,380
I know, I know.

914
00:55:03,380 --> 00:55:06,180
It's true, it's true.

915
00:55:06,180 --> 00:55:09,940
It's kind of like, "Oh my gosh, I'm going to drink another glass of wine and then I'm surprised

916
00:55:09,940 --> 00:55:10,940
that I'm drunk."

917
00:55:10,940 --> 00:55:15,500
How did this happen?

918
00:55:15,500 --> 00:55:16,500
Who let this happen?

919
00:55:16,500 --> 00:55:20,340
Who is in charge here?

920
00:55:20,340 --> 00:55:27,340
[Cassie in deep voice] I'm Chris the husband.

921
00:55:27,340 --> 00:55:29,060
Okay.

922
00:55:29,060 --> 00:55:31,060
So tarot.

923
00:55:31,060 --> 00:55:32,060
Tarot.

924
00:55:32,060 --> 00:55:35,260
So I did read this episode.

925
00:55:35,260 --> 00:55:36,260
You did.

926
00:55:36,260 --> 00:55:37,260
Yes.

927
00:55:37,260 --> 00:55:41,940
So I'm excited to see what Chris did with it.

928
00:55:41,940 --> 00:55:44,220
He was like, "You're so right.

929
00:55:44,220 --> 00:55:47,220
You did pick my unique nightmare fuel."

930
00:55:47,220 --> 00:55:48,220
Did he cry?

931
00:55:48,220 --> 00:55:49,220
You guys didn't cry.

932
00:55:49,220 --> 00:55:50,220
He didn't cry.

933
00:55:50,220 --> 00:55:53,460
You can't marry him.

934
00:55:53,460 --> 00:55:54,460
I know.

935
00:55:54,460 --> 00:55:55,460
I'm stopping the wedding.

936
00:55:55,460 --> 00:55:56,460
If someone says, "Who objects?"

937
00:55:56,460 --> 00:55:57,940
I'm going to be like, "I object."

938
00:55:57,940 --> 00:55:58,940
I would never.

939
00:55:58,940 --> 00:55:59,940
No.

940
00:55:59,940 --> 00:56:00,940
Okay.

941
00:56:00,940 --> 00:56:08,140
Well, I'm excited to listen, but Chris didn't want to do tarot.

942
00:56:08,140 --> 00:56:11,740
He was like, "That's too witchy for me."

943
00:56:11,740 --> 00:56:16,980
Well, honestly, I think he's a little bit freaked out by the readings that he's seen

944
00:56:16,980 --> 00:56:24,380
me go to like close family members and friends and maybe some of the readings I've given

945
00:56:24,380 --> 00:56:26,780
to him himself.

946
00:56:26,780 --> 00:56:27,780
Is she the witchy bitch?

947
00:56:27,780 --> 00:56:29,980
I'm a witchy bitch.

948
00:56:29,980 --> 00:56:31,540
It says so on the wine glass.

949
00:56:31,540 --> 00:56:36,260
Like it's hard to read with like the lights and everything, but I didn't think about that.

950
00:56:36,260 --> 00:56:37,260
Witchy bitch.

951
00:56:37,260 --> 00:56:38,260
Witchy bitch.

952
00:56:38,260 --> 00:56:39,260
I didn't think about that.

953
00:56:39,260 --> 00:56:40,260
Witchy bitch.

954
00:56:40,260 --> 00:56:41,260
Witchy bitch.

955
00:56:41,260 --> 00:56:42,260
I didn't think about that.

956
00:56:42,260 --> 00:56:43,260
Witchy bitch.

957
00:56:43,260 --> 00:56:44,260
Witchy bitch.

958
00:56:44,260 --> 00:56:45,260
I didn't think about that.

959
00:56:45,260 --> 00:56:46,260
Witchy bitch.

960
00:56:46,260 --> 00:56:48,260
It's fine.

961
00:56:48,260 --> 00:56:57,260
Yeah, I think it's important to know that we are very open right now.

962
00:56:57,260 --> 00:57:06,940
We have waited until we were two glasses of wine in to go ahead and do the tarot.

963
00:57:06,940 --> 00:57:12,140
So like we're very, we're very open spiritually.

964
00:57:12,140 --> 00:57:13,140
Spiritual way.

965
00:57:13,140 --> 00:57:14,340
Okay.

966
00:57:14,340 --> 00:57:18,060
I feel like I'm like kind of, you probably can't really tell.

967
00:57:18,060 --> 00:57:22,460
I'm about a thirdish of the way into the deck.

968
00:57:22,460 --> 00:57:25,460
Does that feel okay?

969
00:57:25,460 --> 00:57:26,460
Oh, okay.

970
00:57:26,460 --> 00:57:28,460
Oh, interesting.

971
00:57:28,460 --> 00:57:31,060
Two of cups.

972
00:57:31,060 --> 00:57:35,820
The imagery I feel like kind of works in the traditional deck.

973
00:57:35,820 --> 00:57:38,180
I have something to say.

974
00:57:38,180 --> 00:57:39,180
What?

975
00:57:39,180 --> 00:57:41,780
This is basically like the lover's card number two.

976
00:57:41,780 --> 00:57:42,780
Kind of.

977
00:57:42,780 --> 00:57:49,060
On this card, when we were doing, like we were about to do your proposal thing for your

978
00:57:49,060 --> 00:57:54,260
wedding, we pulled the two cups and I was like, shit, don't give her any idea.

979
00:57:54,260 --> 00:57:55,260
Oh my gosh.

980
00:57:55,260 --> 00:57:58,660
And you thought I was going to pick up on something and I was like, boom, boom, boom,

981
00:57:58,660 --> 00:57:59,660
boom.

982
00:57:59,660 --> 00:58:01,660
I was like, oh my, you'll get better.

983
00:58:01,660 --> 00:58:02,660
You're in here.

984
00:58:02,660 --> 00:58:03,660
You're in here.

985
00:58:03,660 --> 00:58:04,660
And you want to hear that.

986
00:58:04,660 --> 00:58:06,660
Go back a year or two.

987
00:58:06,660 --> 00:58:07,660
A yearish?

988
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:08,660
You're not.

989
00:58:08,660 --> 00:58:10,660
When did you happen?

990
00:58:10,660 --> 00:58:16,060
Okay, well, this is kind of freaky because it made sense then.

991
00:58:16,060 --> 00:58:19,060
It makes sense now.

992
00:58:19,060 --> 00:58:29,140
Two of cups are keywords are partnership, harmony, creative exchange and cooperation.

993
00:58:29,140 --> 00:58:35,020
In many decks, the two of cups shows a man and woman holding chalices as if toasting

994
00:58:35,020 --> 00:58:39,660
each other or like literally standing in front of an altar.

995
00:58:39,660 --> 00:58:41,460
Yeah.

996
00:58:41,460 --> 00:58:48,540
The card represents joining forces with someone either romantically or in a creative spiritual

997
00:58:48,540 --> 00:58:49,780
endeavor.

998
00:58:49,780 --> 00:58:55,940
Now this works twofold, I think, when it comes to this case.

999
00:58:55,940 --> 00:58:56,940
Okay.

1000
00:58:56,940 --> 00:59:02,340
So I think this applies to romantic partners in this case and I think it also works in

1001
00:59:02,340 --> 00:59:05,620
like a, you know, criminal partnership in this case.

1002
00:59:05,620 --> 00:59:07,420
Yeah.

1003
00:59:07,420 --> 00:59:13,900
You share a common dream, interest or passion and can work together to bring it into being

1004
00:59:13,900 --> 00:59:18,060
or maybe you literally already work together at Mattel.

1005
00:59:18,060 --> 00:59:19,060
Yeah.

1006
00:59:19,060 --> 00:59:20,060
Oh.

1007
00:59:20,060 --> 00:59:21,060
I know.

1008
00:59:21,060 --> 00:59:22,060
I know.

1009
00:59:22,060 --> 00:59:23,060
I know.

1010
00:59:23,060 --> 00:59:26,860
It's kind of heartbreaking.

1011
00:59:26,860 --> 00:59:30,060
It really is.

1012
00:59:30,060 --> 00:59:35,860
Mutual respect and equality exist between you.

1013
00:59:35,860 --> 00:59:42,860
The upright two indicates a period of harmony when things go smoothly between you and another

1014
00:59:42,860 --> 00:59:43,860
person.

1015
00:59:43,860 --> 00:59:49,140
Did I, because like I've read this a while ago, did they have this at first?

1016
00:59:49,140 --> 00:59:51,300
Like, did they have this like harmony?

1017
00:59:51,300 --> 00:59:52,300
Well, okay.

1018
00:59:52,300 --> 00:59:58,580
So the thing that's important to remember about this case is that Sissy was not murdered

1019
00:59:58,580 --> 01:00:00,380
by her partner.

1020
01:00:00,380 --> 01:00:04,740
This is an outside, it's a third party.

1021
01:00:04,740 --> 01:00:10,900
So her relationship, I mean, it couldn't have been happier in terms of her romantic partnership.

1022
01:00:10,900 --> 01:00:18,500
She was supposed to get married like two weeks after her disappearance.

1023
01:00:18,500 --> 01:00:24,740
And you may recall that she was actually laid to rest on what would have been her wedding

1024
01:00:24,740 --> 01:00:25,740
day.

1025
01:00:25,740 --> 01:00:26,740
Yeah.

1026
01:00:26,740 --> 01:00:27,740
I remember that part.

1027
01:00:27,740 --> 01:00:28,740
Yeah.

1028
01:00:28,740 --> 01:00:35,740
I think of this as the honeymoon car.

1029
01:00:35,740 --> 01:00:39,740
Oh my god.

1030
01:00:39,740 --> 01:00:40,740
Stop.

1031
01:00:40,740 --> 01:00:41,740
I know.

1032
01:00:41,740 --> 01:00:42,740
I know.

1033
01:00:42,740 --> 01:00:43,740
Oh god.

1034
01:00:43,740 --> 01:00:44,740
It makes sense.

1035
01:00:44,740 --> 01:00:45,740
But it's, yeah.

1036
01:00:45,740 --> 01:00:46,740
Oh, she's getting more.

1037
01:00:46,740 --> 01:00:47,740
No, we're fine.

1038
01:00:47,740 --> 01:00:48,740
No, we're fine.

1039
01:00:48,740 --> 01:00:55,740
When you have high hopes and experience a time of accord optimism, inspiration and good

1040
01:00:55,740 --> 01:01:03,740
wealth in a reading about money, the upright to suggest a financial partnership or merging

1041
01:01:03,740 --> 01:01:12,340
your resources with someone else's for a mutual gain.

1042
01:01:12,340 --> 01:01:18,180
It can also mean financial support comes from a partner or a backer.

1043
01:01:18,180 --> 01:01:23,340
If the reading is about your job, this car describes a partnership that benefits both

1044
01:01:23,340 --> 01:01:25,060
people.

1045
01:01:25,060 --> 01:01:32,060
You inspire one another and enjoy working together, literally working together.

1046
01:01:32,060 --> 01:01:33,060
Yeah.

1047
01:01:33,060 --> 01:01:39,060
It can also represent cooperation and creative collaboration in your workplace.

1048
01:01:39,060 --> 01:01:40,060
Wow.

1049
01:01:40,060 --> 01:01:42,060
I mean, that's crazy.

1050
01:01:42,060 --> 01:01:52,780
I mean, the fact that that is so spot on is just, yeah, if in a reading about love, the

1051
01:01:52,780 --> 01:01:58,820
two upright symbolizes a happy relationship that's developing smoothly.

1052
01:01:58,820 --> 01:02:04,740
You understand each other's needs and bring out the best in one another.

1053
01:02:04,740 --> 01:02:09,780
This card shows harmony, balance, and mutual respect between two parties.

1054
01:02:09,780 --> 01:02:10,780
Wow.

1055
01:02:10,780 --> 01:02:15,580
Well, that just makes me sad because like this is all of the things like it was going to

1056
01:02:15,580 --> 01:02:17,900
be a shut of then and yeah.

1057
01:02:17,900 --> 01:02:19,700
And then it didn't be his.

1058
01:02:19,700 --> 01:02:21,980
And then it was a stupid shit.

1059
01:02:21,980 --> 01:02:22,980
Interesting.

1060
01:02:22,980 --> 01:02:23,980
Okay.

1061
01:02:23,980 --> 01:02:27,460
I just, I had to see.

1062
01:02:27,460 --> 01:02:32,220
I just, I just needed to know it's the Queen of Swords and Reverse.

1063
01:02:32,220 --> 01:02:33,220
Oh.

1064
01:02:33,220 --> 01:02:34,220
Okay.

1065
01:02:34,220 --> 01:02:36,220
Queen of Swords.

1066
01:02:36,220 --> 01:02:46,380
Keywords are intelligence, independence, authority, objectivity, and communication.

1067
01:02:46,380 --> 01:02:51,740
The Queen of Swords is the female counterpart of the king, except she represents the

1068
01:02:51,740 --> 01:03:00,140
creative side of the mental process, the novelist rather than the accountant.

1069
01:03:00,140 --> 01:03:07,460
It seems she was a graphic designer, so that feels, yeah.

1070
01:03:07,460 --> 01:03:15,580
In some decks, she sits on the throne, wearing a crown and a luxurious, wearing a crown and

1071
01:03:15,580 --> 01:03:20,700
a luxurious robe holding a sword.

1072
01:03:20,700 --> 01:03:26,900
The Aquarian Tarot pictures her crown, but sands throne, wielding her sword as a woman

1073
01:03:26,900 --> 01:03:32,020
warrior, sort of a Joan of Arc or a theme of figure.

1074
01:03:32,020 --> 01:03:33,520
Oh.

1075
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:39,700
In a reading, she may represent an actual person, in which case, she's usually a mature woman

1076
01:03:39,700 --> 01:03:44,260
known for her intelligence, independence, and inner strength.

1077
01:03:44,260 --> 01:03:52,020
When the Queen appears reversed, you may feel trapped, limited, unable to speak your own

1078
01:03:52,020 --> 01:03:53,900
truth.

1079
01:03:53,900 --> 01:04:01,940
She could indicate disappointments at work or home, broken promises, hopes that didn't

1080
01:04:01,940 --> 01:04:03,340
manifest.

1081
01:04:03,340 --> 01:04:10,340
Didn't the other one say like it was all about like the hope or something?

1082
01:04:10,340 --> 01:04:15,540
You may feel you haven't been given a chance to show yourself or you've been handed a puny

1083
01:04:15,540 --> 01:04:18,900
piece of the pie.

1084
01:04:18,900 --> 01:04:28,940
Perhaps you can't move beyond a loss or your emotions are interfering with your judgment.

1085
01:04:28,940 --> 01:04:34,300
In a reading about money, this card can mean you let your emotions rather than your intellect

1086
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:37,060
guide a financial matter.

1087
01:04:37,060 --> 01:04:43,540
It may also suggest you've gotten bad advice or not investigated a situation adequately

1088
01:04:43,540 --> 01:04:46,660
and consequently incurred losses.

1089
01:04:46,660 --> 01:04:49,460
Oh, holy shit.

1090
01:04:49,460 --> 01:04:54,420
This Queen warns, read the fine print.

1091
01:04:54,420 --> 01:05:01,380
The reversed Queen may represent the glass ceiling women still face.

1092
01:05:01,380 --> 01:05:11,460
In a reading about love, this card suggests bitterness caused by disappointments or losses.

1093
01:05:11,460 --> 01:05:19,060
As a result, you may swear off relationships and isolate yourself.

1094
01:05:19,060 --> 01:05:25,620
Sometimes the Queen reversed shows an overly critical nature, inflexibility, or coolness

1095
01:05:25,620 --> 01:05:27,420
toward a partner.

1096
01:05:27,420 --> 01:05:30,660
I mean, it's that first one.

1097
01:05:30,660 --> 01:05:37,660
I was like by no fault of either of their own.

1098
01:05:37,660 --> 01:05:45,300
Did he ever like read Mary after?

1099
01:05:45,300 --> 01:05:51,740
I'm trying to remember from the source material because I think outside of speaking at the original

1100
01:05:51,740 --> 01:05:58,940
sentencing, I don't think that there have been any particular updates that I have seen

1101
01:05:58,940 --> 01:06:02,380
about her fiancee.

1102
01:06:02,380 --> 01:06:11,060
I think probably a lot of that has to do with the only way to move on in that situation

1103
01:06:11,060 --> 01:06:20,540
for him might have been that after he's sentenced and he's sent to prison, I have to separate

1104
01:06:20,540 --> 01:06:23,260
myself from this.

1105
01:06:23,260 --> 01:06:33,980
For sure, because I feel like there would be something about this is someone that you thought

1106
01:06:33,980 --> 01:06:37,220
you were going to spend the rest of your life with.

1107
01:06:37,220 --> 01:06:44,180
They were so young.

1108
01:06:44,180 --> 01:06:51,780
He still had so much life ahead of him and he really did have to...

1109
01:06:51,780 --> 01:07:00,780
He would have to try in some respect to compartmentalize this in order to be able to go on to have a

1110
01:07:00,780 --> 01:07:09,260
life, whereas someone in her family who has their partner and they have the support of

1111
01:07:09,260 --> 01:07:20,780
their family long term, I think you're just approaching those things so differently.

1112
01:07:20,780 --> 01:07:31,100
You have to grieve that in a different way and let go of that person in a different way.

1113
01:07:31,100 --> 01:07:35,340
It's so hard.

1114
01:07:35,340 --> 01:07:39,580
I can't imagine.

1115
01:07:39,580 --> 01:07:47,900
I've had so many horrific flashes of just intrusive thoughts or horrific daydreams about

1116
01:07:47,900 --> 01:07:54,900
something happening.

1117
01:07:54,900 --> 01:08:05,300
I don't know how anyone moves on, but for this particular situation, the fact that you

1118
01:08:05,300 --> 01:08:13,020
are just weeks away from your wedding, I couldn't wrap my head around it.

1119
01:08:13,020 --> 01:08:15,420
I really didn't want to throw up.

1120
01:08:15,420 --> 01:08:16,420
Yeah.

1121
01:08:16,420 --> 01:08:18,420
My mouth is good and watery.

1122
01:08:18,420 --> 01:08:19,420
Yeah.

1123
01:08:19,420 --> 01:08:21,420
Well, those cards worked.

1124
01:08:21,420 --> 01:08:23,420
I mean, wow.

1125
01:08:23,420 --> 01:08:33,900
I don't know that I've had a reading that has felt so like that just resonated in a way that

1126
01:08:33,900 --> 01:08:35,700
I'm really glad I pulled that second one.

1127
01:08:35,700 --> 01:08:36,700
Yeah.

1128
01:08:36,700 --> 01:08:38,700
I knew you were going to, was that weird?

1129
01:08:38,700 --> 01:08:40,500
Kind of, because I didn't know until I did it.

1130
01:08:40,500 --> 01:08:41,580
I knew as soon as you pulled.

1131
01:08:41,580 --> 01:08:45,340
I knew as soon as you pulled this other one, like I knew it would work, but like I knew

1132
01:08:45,340 --> 01:08:47,820
that you were going to have to pull a different one.

1133
01:08:47,820 --> 01:08:48,820
Yeah.

1134
01:08:48,820 --> 01:08:52,620
Just based off of what it was, I was like, this is too like feel good.

1135
01:08:52,620 --> 01:08:56,300
I know this is like what, obviously I'm altered.

1136
01:08:56,300 --> 01:09:00,420
This is like the vibe we were going for, like the couples and the, yeah.

1137
01:09:00,420 --> 01:09:05,980
All the things that should have been, but you know what's weird about this is I just realized

1138
01:09:05,980 --> 01:09:12,660
that pulling a second card in this moment, like I wouldn't have, I never planned to

1139
01:09:12,660 --> 01:09:13,660
pull another card.

1140
01:09:13,660 --> 01:09:19,660
I always plan on it being one card and I'm, if anything, I'm resistant to pulling additional

1141
01:09:19,660 --> 01:09:27,980
cards, but it makes sense because I mean, this is a situation where he had two trials.

1142
01:09:27,980 --> 01:09:28,980
Right.

1143
01:09:28,980 --> 01:09:33,220
Two of cops, two trials and two cards.

1144
01:09:33,220 --> 01:09:34,460
Two people on the altar.

1145
01:09:34,460 --> 01:09:36,220
We have the 11, 11.

1146
01:09:36,220 --> 01:09:37,220
Yeah.

1147
01:09:37,220 --> 01:09:38,220
Oh, God.

1148
01:09:38,220 --> 01:09:45,220
Should we just like talk about this beautiful candle or a book?

1149
01:09:45,220 --> 01:09:47,220
Yeah, Chris and I talked about it a little bit.

1150
01:09:47,220 --> 01:09:48,220
Yeah.

1151
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,220
Well, we can talk about it.

1152
01:09:49,220 --> 01:09:52,460
Oh, I was like, did you just like show the butts or what we didn't know show the butt.

1153
01:09:52,460 --> 01:09:53,460
Should we show the butts?

1154
01:09:53,460 --> 01:09:54,460
Show the butts.

1155
01:09:54,460 --> 01:09:57,700
We need a little pick me up, I think after this.

1156
01:09:57,700 --> 01:09:59,140
God, fuck me up.

1157
01:09:59,140 --> 01:10:07,420
That was, um, I guess the joke saw me because I was like, oh my gosh, I figured out, I figured

1158
01:10:07,420 --> 01:10:12,660
out what's going to really like set everybody off right before the wedding.

1159
01:10:12,660 --> 01:10:15,020
And I was like, I guess I forgot, I'm everybody.

1160
01:10:15,020 --> 01:10:17,660
Let me just fuck myself off of my way.

1161
01:10:17,660 --> 01:10:18,660
Yeah.

1162
01:10:18,660 --> 01:10:24,620
Well, yeah, naturally because I'm like obviously deeply sticking the head and a little bit

1163
01:10:24,620 --> 01:10:27,620
of a massacres, but what are you going to do?

1164
01:10:27,620 --> 01:10:28,620
You know?

1165
01:10:28,620 --> 01:10:29,620
Cry on camera.

1166
01:10:29,620 --> 01:10:30,620
No, you've got it.

1167
01:10:30,620 --> 01:10:35,820
It's great for your makeup and I'm not at all sniffly.

1168
01:10:35,820 --> 01:10:38,060
You don't sound at all measly.

1169
01:10:38,060 --> 01:10:39,060
It's fun.

1170
01:10:39,060 --> 01:10:44,900
Well, I'm glad I don't have to sit here for this whole episode and I just got to read it

1171
01:10:44,900 --> 01:10:50,020
and skimp as need be.

1172
01:10:50,020 --> 01:10:52,060
And then you got like the fun part, the tarot.

1173
01:10:52,060 --> 01:10:57,060
Yeah, I got the fun part.

1174
01:10:57,060 --> 01:11:00,660
I mean, sometimes you just need a good cry.

1175
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:05,100
Well, I'm going to go cry off camera.

1176
01:11:05,100 --> 01:11:06,100
She's not.

1177
01:11:06,100 --> 01:11:07,780
We might go get a snack though.

1178
01:11:07,780 --> 01:11:08,780
I'm okay with that.

1179
01:11:08,780 --> 01:11:10,540
That would probably rejuvenate us.

1180
01:11:10,540 --> 01:11:13,380
I might cry eating snacks because they'd be so good.

1181
01:11:13,380 --> 01:11:15,380
They're so good.

1182
01:11:15,380 --> 01:11:17,380
They're so good.

1183
01:11:17,380 --> 01:11:18,380
All right.

1184
01:11:18,380 --> 01:11:19,380
Have a great day.

1185
01:11:19,380 --> 01:11:20,380
Have a great day.

1186
01:11:20,380 --> 01:11:21,380
Have a great day.

1187
01:11:21,380 --> 01:11:22,380
Have a great day.

1188
01:11:22,380 --> 01:11:26,340
We'll see you next Wednesday or whenever.

1189
01:11:26,340 --> 01:11:30,580
Oh, I didn't know that you guys are still saying that.

1190
01:11:30,580 --> 01:11:31,580
Whoops.

1191
01:11:31,580 --> 01:11:32,580
I said, waiting.

1192
01:11:32,580 --> 01:11:37,540
You said, waiting, that you said Monday.

1193
01:11:37,540 --> 01:11:41,780
I didn't know it was like you next Wednesday.

1194
01:11:41,780 --> 01:11:45,380
Just thought Joe Connuss, because none of us are getting married ever again.

1195
01:11:45,380 --> 01:11:47,620
No, no, no.

1196
01:11:47,620 --> 01:11:50,300
I will never do this again.

1197
01:11:50,300 --> 01:11:52,900
I'm surprised my hair is not fully now.

1198
01:11:52,900 --> 01:11:54,420
I'm glad that it's not.

1199
01:11:54,420 --> 01:11:55,420
Yeah.

1200
01:11:55,420 --> 01:11:56,420
She's not gone.

1201
01:11:56,420 --> 01:11:57,420
What?

1202
01:11:57,420 --> 01:12:04,420
What's to do this?

1203
01:12:04,420 --> 01:12:05,980
All right.

1204
01:12:05,980 --> 01:12:08,140
I'm like, who should start?

1205
01:12:08,140 --> 01:12:11,340
Because when I say hi, I'm going to be saying hi, Chris.

1206
01:12:11,340 --> 01:12:15,260
And when you say hi, it'll be obvious that you're not Cassie.

1207
01:12:15,260 --> 01:12:18,660
I will do my best to sound like her.

1208
01:12:18,660 --> 01:12:19,660
Hello.

1209
01:12:19,660 --> 01:12:20,660
Hello.

1210
01:12:20,660 --> 01:12:21,660
Hello. (pnwhauntsandhomicides.com)
