In the aftermath of a shocking crime, people always ask, why? Why would someone do something like that?

I'm Candace DeLong, host of the podcast Killer Psychie, where every week I explain the thoughts, motivations, and behaviors of the most violent figures in history.

This week, in Hope, Alaska, what seems like half the male population of the state is in love with the same young lady with twisted and terrible results. Welcome to Small Town Murder.

Hello, everybody, and welcome back to Small Town Murder. Yay! Oh, yay indeed, Jimmy, yay indeed. My name is James Petrogall, I'm here with my co-host.

I'm Jimmy Wiseman. Thank you, folks, so much for joining us on another wild, crazy edition of Small Town Murder. And this is no different. Whenever we had to a place like Alaska, you know there's craziness going on. It's unruly up there, we'll say.

So before we get to that insane story this week, and this is one of those, you got to listen all the way to the end because holy hell, it's got a left hook coming at you.

When you're at least expected, a nice curveball. Before we get to that, very quickly, head over to show up and give me murder.com. You're going to get everything there, all of your merchandise, tickets to live shows, everybody. May the fifth Detroit. Get your tickets. Come and see us. We cannot wait and May the sixth in Pittsburgh.

But Chicago, get your tickets for that as well. August the 12th. Let's do that. April 20th, virtual live show. Oh my goodness. The 420 virtual live show. It's available for a week after that. You can buy it at any point. Watch it as much as you want. I'm going to get Jimmy Super Stone with some crazy stuff that I have for him.

Some apparatus for him to try out. It's going to be a lot of fun and going to tell a wild murder story just like a live show, except you're in your living room or on your back patio or I don't know in your car in a parking lot. I don't care where you watch it. Watch it wherever you want. Check that out. Shut up and give me murder.com is where you get all of that. You also want to go to patreon.com slash crime and sports.

Absolutely. And for crime and sports this week. It's a special week. Of course, personal ads are back a couple times a year. We hit up the personal ads and they're always a favorite to everybody. So we can't wait for that personal ads.

Here are what people in the 80s tried to say to attract people through the newspaper will hear about that. Then for small town murder. We are going to talk about the in our serial killer childhood series. We're going to dive back into that and talk about BTK's childhood and have a lot of it is self described and oh God. He's such a creep. Some of the things he says it's wild. So check all that out. Patreon.com slash crime and sports. That said I think it's not a bad thing.

I'm not going to die for the disclaimer here. This is this is a comedy show and it's work comedians. We're definitely comedians. There's definitely going to be murder and there's definitely going to be jokes. But the jokes. See, this is the thing. We don't think it's there's anything funny about the actual murder when someone's head is being removed or not like that's hilarious. That's so funny. But there's a lot of other stuff around a murder. That is hilarious.

For instance, the idea, hey, I think I'll kill this person. I'll probably get away with it. That's no problem. That's a crazy thought to have as comedians. We're going to make fun of that. We're going to make fun of small towns because we're all from somewhere terrible. And it's a nice. It's a roast environment. So have fun with that. But what we do not do. We never do as we don't make fun of the victims or the victims families. Why James? Because we're assholes. Yeah, but we're not scumbags. Yeah, that works. So that sounds good to you. You want to hear a crazy story.

You're in for one. If you think true crime and comedy should never, ever, ever go together. Maybe we're not. Maybe we're just not a good match for each other. Everybody you never know. But we think maybe you should give it a chance. And if you are, I think it's time to sit back and where are you right now? Where would you do it? What do you like? Are you deep sea fishing right now for tuna? Is that what you're doing? You're out there.

Oh, pull it in. Well, somebody someone's got a hold of a good one there. They're leaning over. They can't do it. Shove them right over.

Boy, that's a toss them right over. Watch your little feet go into the water. Swim with the tunas. And as they're, as they're swirling down into the deep blue sea. I want you to shout.

Shout out.

Deep murder.
