Carrie Rawson is back with me for what I consider like a sidecar episode. There is so much coming out regarding the Long Island serial killer that it is almost impossible to keep up.

0:24.0

It's almost impossible to verify what is accurate and what is not.

0:28.6

Carrie and I have had some side conversations where, you know, she even asked,

0:33.0

hey, should I untweet that?

0:34.5

Like, we don't even know what's real, what's not real.

0:37.8

So the media came out and said that law enforcement found a soundproof room.

0:44.2

Then law enforcement comes out and says it's not a soundproof room.

0:47.9

It's a vault.

guys are working hard they're moving like tools out of that shed which is something they had to do

2:06.4

with my dad because my dad had one big huge shed and then that was up on concrete blocks and then he

2:13.2

had an attached shed and there was evidence of crimes or potentially linked to crimes in both

2:19.0

those sheds and my dad was a pack rat and so when I'm seeing them like lay out those tools
