Hey, guys, and welcome to the Moms and Murder podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself Mandy and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I'm doing great. How are you?

Me too. Wow. That's really great that we're both doing great and we didn't talk

about anything before. Now it sounds like we're doing great. We are. We're doing great. We're good.

We're happy to be here and yeah, in our homes. We're happy to be here i this is my favorite place in the world i love

my house me too you know there's no place i'd rather be than home so this is this is good i am going

to be thankful i'll be thankful there you go so i don't think we have anything to talk about really

nothing's happening i mean a lot's, but we're not saying anything.

Well, things that need to be announced are not happening right now, and everyone's announcing anything new. So we are also not announcing anything new. And we're going to get really right into the episode this week. This is another case that was researched for us by Haley Gray, and she always has such a great job. I am not really

sure where she found this one. I don't know if this was one that you suggested, Melissa.

She was researching another case for someone else and came across this and was like, does this

look interesting? And I was very, very excited. And it does look interesting.

There's so much information. Yeah, it's a really, really interesting story. So every once in a while,

as you guys know, we sometimes do an episode where we talk about a crime that was not a murder.

And that's what we're bringing to you this week. A hard to believe kidnapping story, that's a wild ride from start to finish.

The events of this week's story are so bizarre and seems so unbelievable that they could only

be thought up as a movie plot.

And there actually is a movie based on these events that came out in 2017 called All the

Money in the World with the Great Marky Mark,

but before that great film could be made, the real life story of John Paul Getty the

third had to happen. So before we get into the heart of the story, we need to give a little

background on the family involved. These people are kind of a big deal, although I really did not know who they were at all. And I asked Melissa, and she said she only knew of them. So maybe those of you listening won't know much either. And then I don't have to look like I just didn't know anything by myself. I'll join you. I had only heard of it. And so I, too, knew nothing. We know nothing. Here you go.

Well, that's like par for the course. So, you know. There you go. So things are a little confusing
