You've heard me say it countless times on this podcast. The people around you are committing

murders. You aren't, hopefully, but that doesn't mean the guy waving at you while raking his leaves

as you jog by on your neighborhood run is innocent. The nice lady in line at the bank that

strikes up a conversation about how pretty the weather is today,

maybe hiding literal skeletons in her closet.

The simple fact is, there are people in this world that act without remorse, without inhibition.

The compulsion to kill, plus a sinister plan to carry it out, is what we are talking about today.

Music us a sinister plan to carry it out is what we are talking about today. Hi, welcome to 10-minute murder, brief and bingeable true crime. I'm Joe, the host, and thank you for joining today.

The episode you're about to listen to is one of those occasional much longer than 10 minutes.

Some stories are so strange and so compelling that they need more time to explain. If this is the first time that you're

stopping by to listen to the podcast, you may be a little bit confused after listening to the name

of the show versus the duration of this episode. Normally they're much shorter. I try to condense

the stories of true crime into a time frame of around 10 minutes. Sometimes I go over by a little bit, but every now and then, like today, I go over by a lot of bit. If you want to keep listening to 10-minute murder past this episode, subscribe wherever you're listening right now, and you can easily find the show whenever you want. And listening to back episodes are also much easier when you're subscribed to 10-minute

murder. And connect with 10-minute murder on social media. You see the visuals that go along

with the stories that you're hearing about. It's nothing gross and nothing graphic,

but I'm always curious when I'm personally listening to a podcast, what the people and the places

look like. So I look that up, and I do that for this show as well. So I post that on social media

and if I do post crime scene photos, it will not be gruesome dead bodies. I personally don't want

to see that and I assume that you're the same. I know what your next question is going to be.

Where can we find 10 minute murder shirts and stickers? Thank you for asking. That's very sweet of you.

In the show notes of this episode, there's a link to the merch store. Everything you're looking for is

going to be there. Okay, now to the story.
