curiosity Museum okay so that's john gacy painting Dillinger is yeah so it's like a crossover almost or collaboration it is so this Roderick Farrell says he was a member of the Kentucky vampire clan what's the back story behind that I I've seen it on TV um remember he was the guy that had the 14 year old girlfriend in Florida and she was complaining about how she hated her parents okay yeah I have her him and his buddies took the car went down to Florida killed her parents stole their minivan and went to New Orleans I guess we're all vampires go okay and what do we have here if he does getting busted that's a pair of his his boots that he wore that his mom bought him okay so on the back of the letter I her on the back of the the pitcher taken in our living room this is from his mom I guessed his mom was cashing in on a lot of his stuff so his mom was selling off his murderer stuff his mom was selling off all the stuff that's like his little childhood color in blue hello yeah everybody loves Prison shanks prisoners are so creative when it comes to making things you'd think they would have used that creativity in real life to invent things instead of just coming up with different ways to cut and stab each other and the Heaven's Gate drinking glasses did they I wanted were these used to drink the kool-aid with they came from the crime scene but I'm not sure they're the ones that was used for the kool-aid let's not let's get some cool is the residue is that I think that she's blond to dust I don't know oh my goodness I haven't drink out of them yet I've kind of
