Rude of Evil is a production of C13 originals, a division of Cadence 13 in partnership with TNT.

Before we begin, we'd like to point out that this podcast will take a deep dive into the lives of the Hodele family, which inspired the TNT Limited series, I Am The Night.

If you're following along with both I Am The Night and this podcast, the podcast may address key events prior to those events occurring in the Limited series.

This story contains strong language and graphic and potentially disturbing content. Discretion is advised.

Oh yeah! Let me get to the Black Dow yet.

When I was 11, my mother and I broke into George's house.

She was on acid of course. I did what I was told.

I found a window or something like that. I was on the side and I found a window and I got in.

And that was the first time I heard about George being dangerous.

And he killed his secretary. I'd never heard that before.

So we got inside there and she's pointing out the place where she remembered a woman screaming in the basement.

And then she told me she remembered a woman being hit over the head and buried by the stairs.

So anyway, so we're in the house and we're on the road for a very long time.

And there's a silent alarm which I didn't know about. But we were there for hours before and you were pleased for sent out.

That was like when I was 11 or 12.

That was my introduction to the deaths that happened at the house.

That's when I first started hearing about the Black Dow.

That story you just heard was my aunt describing the time she broke into a house with my grandmother when she was 11 years old.

The house was my great-grandfathers and his name was George Hodele.

My sister and I heard crazy stories like this all the time growing up.

From all of our family members, especially our mom.

They said our great-grandfather was responsible for the most famous unsolved murder in American history.
