Welcome to 10-minute murder, brief and bingeable true crime. I'm Joe, I'm the host, and thank you for joining today.

And on the previous episode during this intro time, I talked about how much I love words.

I'm kind of a word nerd.

I love how descriptive you can get with them and using words that not everyone uses sometimes.

And that many of you reached out and said, you're the exact same way, which made me feel better about myself.

I'm not as weird as I thought I was when it comes to words.

But then several of you

also said that you like to intentionally mispronounce words for no reason whatsoever. Let me tell

you, I've never felt more seen in my entire life. I do that too. I don't do it on this podcast,

because that would be weird. You'd be wondering, why is Joe saying paradigm like,

paradigm? Because if you didn't know I do that, then you'd just think I'm an idiot. And I didn't

started until I had a kid. And when he was growing up, you know how kids mispronounce words

and it's cute. Like to this day, for example, I still say something instead of something because he was little and he would say something instead of, I need to go get something. He would say I need to go get something. Also, when he was reading, he would read the word original as organal. And I thought that was cute. And to this day, I will still say organal around him. And he says it back.

And he's 17 years old. But anyway, I'm just glad that I'm not the only one that does weird stuff like that.

Now to the story.

Thank you. Now, to the story. True crime cases often use the principle of Occam's razor.

In other words, the most simple explanation for a crime is usually the correct one.
