Hey everybody welcome back to our podcast. This is Murder with my husband. I'm Peyton Morland and I'm Garrett Morland and he's a husband. I'm a husband.

Okay, I don't think we have any, you know, announcements or anything like that. So I think we can jump straight into your 10 seconds today.

A bonus episode just went out. So if you were subscribed to Apple or Patreon, you will have that now. So we're just letting everyone know.

Well, we have a couple of rodents that are attacking our backyard. So let's number one priority at the moment. Find them. And they will be gone anytime.

There's like mice or rats. It is. I mean, they're pooping all over our backyard. But it's sad. Anytime there's like mice, rats, rodents in general, I think of the movie mouth strap.

We seen that movie classic where the mouse is so smart. So it's such a good movie. If you haven't seen that movie, it's an older movie, but it's a classic movie.

Pretty sure it's a Disney movie. I think you might be right. It's a good one. Mouse trap. So yeah, we're getting rid of those. We finally, we have been without one of our cars for like a month.

Like a month. That's finally fixed. And it was I mean, just partly my fault. It's had in our driveway for like two and a half weeks because I don't know. I had to get it towed somewhere and I was just being lazy.

But I finally got it towed to the dealership. It fixed it. A bunch of electrical issues. All good. So between mice, are we team rodents and cars? You know, keeping myself busy.

You know, I think that shirt is your color. Green. I feel like a lot of people tell me this. I think it's probably because of green eyes.

Okay, I can you can't even see your eyes. I just think it looks good. Well, I've green eyes. Maybe burning consumer. If you're watching on video, if not, just imagine my sparkly, extremely extravagant green eyes with a green shirt. And on that note, let's hop into today's episode.

Our episode sources are a murder and well, a sleigh murder at morseys pond ancestry.com, vancehomes.com and Metro West daily news.com.

All right. Today's case was a big story back in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it's sort of fallen off the radar in the decades since it has all of the ingredients. So for a sensational true crime case, a murder in an affluent crime free community and a steamed doctor, a murdered wife, a secret life, even Nazi heritage.

Dr. Durk Grenator was a guy whose life began in darkness. He was born in 1940 in Berlin in Nazi Germany to a father who was a doctor in Hitler's army. When the war ended in 1945, his parents fled Germany with the family and settled in Lebanon where they lived until the insurrection and political crisis of 1958.

And at that time, Durk graduated from high school speaking four languages, German, English, French, and Arabic. He won a scholarship to Yale and moved with a single suitcase to Boston to begin his studies majoring in biochemistry on his way to becoming a doctor just like his father.

When Durk finished his undergraduate studies in 1962, he moved to Cleveland, Ohio to pursue a combined MD PhD in pharmacology and medicine at Case Western Reserve University.

And during his studies in Ohio, he met a woman named Maybell Chegwin or May as everyone called her. And just like Durk, May was an immigrant born in Columbia, South America. She moved with her parents to New York City when she was just a year old.

She grew up in relative financial comfort in New York's Upper West Side and then Queens. She was the youngest of four children born to Angel Chegwin, a financial auditor and Marty Chegwin.

She graduated from William, Colin Bryant High School with honors, attended nursing school at Hunter College, and then moved to Ohio to pursue her master's degree in surgical nursing. And that's where in 1964, she met Durk.

So just two smarties. Respect to people that go to school for a very long time because it is not something that I can do or did do.

So Durk's intensity of focus and his ambition, Wu, Maybell, and they began dating. Durk was a man that projected authority and perhaps too much authority.

During their courtship as the possibility of marriage became more and more imminent. Durk told May that if she wanted to marry him, she'd have to learn how to speak German.
