Hello, campers, grab your marshmallows and gather around the true crime campfire.

We're your camp counselors. I'm Katie. And I'm Whitney. And we're here to tell you a true story

that is way stranger than fiction. We're roasting murderers and marshmallows around the true crime

campfire. Thanks to books and movies and very occasionally real life, the idea of the genius killer

has become pervasive, but most murderers are not dazzlingly creative schemers. If they have a

plan at all, it's usually simple and dumb, But unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily mean the plan will

fail. This week's story is about a man who got away with one murderer and then tried to repeat

that trick almost exactly. This is repeat offender, the murders of Elaine and Marianne Boskowski.

Music Marianne Baskowski. So, campers, for this one,

were in Greensboro, North Carolina,

November 4, 1990.

Shortly before 3 a.m.,

Tim Baskowski dialed 911.

He told the operator that he'd found his wife Elaine submerged in the bathtub,

and although he'd pulled her out and tried to get her to start breathing, she wasn't responding.

Two firemen were there within minutes and hurried upstairs to find Tim trying to perform CPR on his wife in the bathroom.

They carried her out into the hallway to give themselves more room to work. Two paramedics arrived and the firemen helped them get

a lane downstairs and hooked up to a heart monitor. It showed a flatline with no activity at all.

They set up an IV and injected her with cardiac drugs, but nothing changed.

They called Wesley Long Hospital, and a doctor there told them to bring Elaine in immediately.

As they loaded her into the ambulance, Tim hurried to his neighbor's house and hammered on their door,

then asked them to look after his and Elaine's three kids while he was at the hospital.
