Summary

Two officers from the Kotzebue, Alaska Police Department enter a living room and ask the two small children watching SpongeBob, “Did someone call the police?” One just points to a bedroom door. Inside, a man, Anthony, cradles a young woman’s body drenched in blood. He says she’s his girlfriend, Jennifer. That he too, was just watching SpongeBob in the living room when he heard a ‘pop’ from the bedroom and found her with a ‘self-inflicted’ gun shot wound to her chin. An investigation begins. The rifle used measures 27 and 1/8th inches long from barrel to trigger. Jennifer’s arm is 26 and 3/16th inches long. Nothing comes of it. The medical examiner observes red strangulation marks around Jennifer’s neck. The investigation is over within one day. Jennifer’s death is declared a self exit. They don’t test for gunshot residue on the boyfriend, Anthony. They don’t look into his past record of abuse and SA. After all, Anthony lives with his father, Clement Richards Senior, the mayor of the Northwest Arctic Borough. Surely this was a horrific one time tragic event… Two years later another young woman’s body is found one again, at the mayor’s home. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

0:00.0	Bada Bing, Badaboo.
0:02.7	6 p.m. in Katsbue, Alaska.
0:05.6	It means absolutely nothing because in Katsbue, it's always either very bright or always very
0:11.5	dark.
0:12.2	There is, I mean, that's really not a metaphor.
0:14.5	This is not something deeper.
0:16.0	It's always either sunny all day long until you drive yourself crazy at night because
0:20.5	you need to block out
0:21.4	any light that's coming in through the window so that you can fall asleep at 11 p.m. Or you get three
0:27.6	hours of sunlight the entire day and then you just live in perpetual darkness. There is no middle
0:32.5	ground like most places. To give you a point of reference, in New York City during the summer,
0:37.6	you get about 14 hours of sunlight. During the winter, you get closer to 10 hours of sunlight.
0:42.2	But it is pretty standard. You know, usually during the winter, sunsets at 5 p.m. during the summer,
0:47.4	it's closer to 8 p.m. That's not what happens in Katzibu. Katsabu is above the Arctic
0:53.7	circle in Alaska, which means the winters are almost
0:57.3	pitch black all night, all day long. But it's in the U.S.? Yeah, in Alaska. It's actually closer to Russia
1:05.2	than it is to Anchorage, Alaska. It's very interesting. Now, the area north of the Arctic Circle is probably
1:10.3	only about 4% of the Earth's entire surface.
1:13.8	And all you really need to know is that if you live above the Arctic Circle, things like daytime, nighttime, it doesn't mean anything.
1:21.2	During the wintertime, it feels like Katsabu has some sort of dread countdown that starts in September.
1:29.1	September starts, you wake up,
1:35.4	sun rises at noon, 11.57 a.m. noon, when half the workday is already over for most of everybody else. And then the sun sets before you're even out of the office at 3.21 p.m. barely three hours
