In the early 1990s, George Russell Jr. was an affable fixture in the laid-back nightclubs

of Bellevue.

Those who met him thought George was a charming guy with a big, friendly smile, who liked

to treat its friends with a round of drinks.

But if you happen to get to know George a little bit better, you learn that he was actually

quite emotionless.

He felt no guilt and was obsessed with sex, which was pretty problematic because George did not

handle rejection well. Not well at all. Eventually, his growing hostility towards women exploded

in the worst possible way.

Thank you. in the worst possible way. Welcome to 10-minute murder, brief and bingeable true crime.

My name is Joe, I'm the host, and thank you for joining today. And some of you have asked, where did the disclaimer at the beginning of all the episodes go? Where did it go? You haven't been using that. And to be honest with you, I got rid of it to save a little bit of time to get to the story a little quicker. and because I thought that the disclaimer should be

implied in the name of the podcast. It's about murders. If you don't want to hear about murders,

then you obviously are in the wrong place. Plus, I don't like them anyway. I think they sound

too legal, like you're trying to get one over on the system. Maybe you're on the borderline

of doing something you shouldn't be doing.

I've done the voiceover for literally hundreds, maybe thousands of different commercials for

different clients around the country and around the world. And anytime there's a disclaimer in there,

I always feel like, ooh, I don't want to say this. And two of them in particular,

car dealerships where they have that speed reading disclaimer,

that always to me is like a red flag.

They're trying to get something over on you.

They're trying to slip something by you and that you don't understand.
