Hello, hi.

Welcome to 10-minute murder.

Brief and bingeable true crime. I'm Joe, the host. Thank you for joining this episode today.

Over the weekend, I was asked, what would I do with this podcast if there were no more murder stories to talk about?

And I'll tell you how I responded to that. First of all, I'd be

ecstatic. No more murder stories means no more murder. So that would make me happy. So the podcast would

probably transition to something like, I don't know, I could take up crocheting. We could talk about

crocheting. I don't know how to do that, but we could figure it out together, right? Or I know zero things about soccer. In the city that I live in, just got a soccer team, club. What do you call it? I guess it's a club team. I don't know. But we got one. And I want to go to some games, but I know nothing about what's happening. So it could be a podcast talking about my journey to figuring out how soccer

works. I don't know. But the point is, it's not going to happen, unfortunately. Even if you believe

in the Bible, which I'm not about to preach at you, so don't tune away. But if you believe in the Bible,

there was Adam. And then Eve came from Adam, and then they had two kids. They had

Kane and Abel. And Kane killed Abel. So at one time, you had four people on the planet

total, and one of them killed another one. So in the beginning of people times, you had murder.

And even if you don't believe in the Bible, you know that even before the written

history, people were killing each other. So unfortunately, the podcast is going to stick around

because murder almost seems inevitable. And it sounds depressing to say, but it is the reality.

So, so if you've got more thought-provoking questions to ask me, Joe at 10-minutemerder.com, that's my email address.

It was the 13th of November, 1961, when a crew member aboard an oil tanker noticed a dinghy floating nearby.
