Hey everyone and welcome back to Big Mad True Crime where we get Big Mad over True Crime.

I'm your host Heather Ashley and today's case is basically how not to get away with murder.

0:11.6

You've had enough small talk with your quarantine for the last week so let's save you the misery and dive right in.

It was a normal day in Virginia Beach on May 5th of 2014. The weather wasn't being as much of a

0:34.4

wishy-washy bitch and fishermen were starting to get back out on the water and do their thing,

0:38.9

whether it was drinking at 4am and coming home complaining about how no fish were biting or

But he doesn't stop. When he unraveled the hospital blanket he discovered a severed human
