You're listening to a morbid network podcast.

Hello and welcome back to Cult Leader. I'm your Cult Leader, Spencer Henry.

And if you're new here, Cult Leader is a podcast about murder and cult and pretty much whatever spooky thing I feel like talking about every week.

One thing that's really cool is I'm loving your guys' responses to the little leaders that I've been putting out.

If you haven't listened to one yet, little leaders are basically just like a roundup of weird news stories from the week and stories that you guys send into me.

If you have a story that you want to send in, go ahead and submit it to Cult Leader Podcast at Gmail.com.

That's Cult Leader Podcast at Gmail.com. And maybe your story will be on the next little leader.

I am also so excited because this week or last weekend I talked about something new that's coming to the merch shop. And if you guys, I have losing my mind, I love it so much.

And I can't wait to show you guys what it is. So make sure that you're following along on Instagram at Cult Leader Podcast or my Instagram at Spencer Henry.

Because obviously always trying to give you guys as much advance notice as possible.

Now let's just get into today. I'm actually so excited.

This episode is going to be late. I already know it. But I am I'm really excited because I feel like I'm kind of getting back into I don't know.

But I'm really excited because I know that I have to produce an episode every week. And especially when there's advertisers and stuff it's more pressure.

But I was kind of like thinking this week, what can I do that's going to make me like excited for this week's episode. And so I was like, you know what I'm going to go back to what I love. And that is doing a lesser known story.

Obviously we'll still always talk about these bigger cases as well. Last week we talked about Jeffrey Dahmer. And I have so much fun when I do those big stories. But I was like, I need a break in this sense. So I'm going to talk about a lesser known story.

I would actually be shocked if any of you have heard this story before. But it takes a good twist. It's got I don't know. I just really like it. I watched a date line special on it. And so basically the whole reason that I'm doing this story or that I even know about this story is because

I actually, whenever I go anywhere for an extended period of time, I look up like murder stories, blah, blah, blah, murder stories in this city, this town. And so when I first moved here, I looked up murder stories in Long Beach, which is where I live now.

And there's this neighborhood that I live in is that we're this part of you know, Long Beach is called Bixby Noles. And so this is where the story takes place. I ended up finding a date line show they did on it called like murder and broad daylight. And I recognize the neighborhood. And I was like, oh, shit, that's really close to me. So I went. I of course went to the house, not in it, but outside of it. And I was like, wow.

That's crazy. Like I mean, living down here, like I work in Hollywood, like I see so many places that you see on TV and you're like, oh, I recognize that I recognize that. But there's something different when somebody's been murdered there. You're like, oh, no.

So it of course is sad. And I'm not making light of it, but it's exciting. I get to see. So we're going to be talking about the murder of Lynn Shockner. And it is. It's a good one. So it's the afternoon on November 8th of 2004.

Police receive a phone call from a man who lives on a street in the quiet suburbs. He's concerned about a possible break in happening out in nearby neighbors house. And here's the 911 call from the concerned neighbor.
