| 0:31.0 | Hey guys and welcome to the Moms & Murder podcast. A true crime podcast featuring myself Mandy and my dear friend, |
| 0:45.0 | Melissa. Hi Melissa. Hi Mandy. How are you? I'm doing great. How are you? I'm doing pretty good things. Awesome. So I don't think we have a lot of announcements this week. I know last week we did our Skylight Frame giveaway, so we haven't seen any of these. |
| 1:14.0 | We haven't done the drawing yet, but by time this episode comes out, we will have done the drawing and somebody will have one. |
| 1:21.0 | Can you believe it? You won. Congratulations. Yeah. That's one person. So we're recording this on Friday and the drawing is going to be on Sunday and the episode will be out on Tuesday. So it's all it's all happening somehow in this time period. So yeah, we don't know who it is yet as as of right now, but by time this episode airs, we will know who it is. So yeah, hopefully it's you. |
| 1:42.0 | There you go. Good luck. May the force be waiting. That's not the right one. I knew I was going to do that one wrong. May the force be with you also made the odds be ever in your favor and whatever ever other movie quote could go there, but one of you will win. So good luck. |
| 1:56.0 | Were you straight? Oh, I thought you were saying like the, you know, the like funny, ha ha ha. Like may the fourth be with you. |
| 2:05.0 | Did I actually say may the fourth be with you? I might have because my husband was just reminding me it's may the fourth. Yeah, and I was like, I don't care. And that's why it was my head. May the fourth and may the force be with you. |
| 2:18.0 | Both of them. Why not both? Why not both in these times? Why not both, Mandy? Okay, we have got to get into this because I'm going to have fun editing whatever just happened there. |
| 2:28.0 | All right, so we will just get right into the episode this week. So everybody knows that love is one of the most powerful forces on earth and it really drives people to do all kinds of things that they may or may not have done otherwise. |
| 2:41.0 | In some cases, love encourages someone to realize their maximum potential and in other cases, love drives people to do really unspeakable things. |
| 2:50.0 | One topic that I've always really been fascinated with is the concept of somebody seeking out a relationship with someone who is already incarcerated for a serious crime like a felony. |
| 3:00.0 | When a person is attracted to others that have committed various undesirable acts such as cheating, lying or even violent crime, it can actually be classified as what is called hybridophilia. |
| 3:11.0 | There are numerous well-known cases of this that we've actually seen with jail weddings in which murderers are finding love and getting married from behind bars. Usually this happens with a penpal or someone that admires them that they have been corresponding with in some way. |
| 3:27.0 | Some of the infamous murderers that you might recognize that actually got married after they were incarcerated are Charles Manson Ted Bundy, both of the Menendez brothers and Richard Ramirez. |
| 3:38.0 | So this week we're not talking about an infamous murderer who got married behind bars, but we are talking about a convicted felon with numerous violent crimes under his belt that managed to really woo a prison nurse and eventually convinced her to marry him and help him escape from prison. |
| 3:54.0 | This story takes place in Kingston, Tennessee and before we get into the details, we're going to tell you a little about Kingston in this week's segment of We Google This City. |
| 4:04.0 | Kingston, Tennessee is located in eastern Tennessee and as of the 2010 census has a population of around 5,900 residents. If it's ever under 20,000, just know I'm going through the state and finding facts, there's not going to be a whole lot. |
