In December of 2007, a neo-Nazi named Bill White was very angry and very online.

That wasn't out of character for him.

His habit of lashing out at anyone he disagreed with would eventually land him in federal prison.

He threatened, intimidated, doxed, and harassed people for years.

Members of the jury that convicted white supremacist leader Matt Hale,

a prosecutor handling a case against members of a white supremacist militia in Florida,

tenants who sued him for housing discrimination, and his own ex-wife.

He was a menace on the Nazi message boards. And just before Christmas in

2007, he got into a fight with a former friend that would send that man into a deadly

downward spiral. I'm Molly Conger, and this is the lost episode of Weird Little Guys. For all the side stories, digressions, tangents, and the months this episode has been lost,

this has always been a story about Curtis Maynard, the Holocaust denial blogger who murdered his ex-wife

and then died by suicide in 2010. But if I'm being entirely honest with you, it's really only

barely about Curtis Maynard. His story, told on its own, is pretty short. Then you already know it.

It was in part one. He was a Holocaust denier who hoped to make a career as a white supremacist writer.

He had a short rise to minor fame in his horrible little corner of the internet, and then a sudden fall from grace.

He spiraled after his second divorce, and he shot himself in the head while fleeing from the

police after murdering the mother of his children.

I'm not interested in a straightforward true crime narrative about an act of domestic violence.

In the story about Curtis Bainer that I think is more interesting, he's only a bit player.

The stories playing out all around him in the last few years of his life are full of weird little guys.
