interesting case to go over. And this family actually was featured on "Wife Swap." So when I came across this case, I realized that I actually
had seen this episode of "Wife Swap" a long time ago. It aired in 2008, but I had no idea what ended
up happening with this family. And I was truly blown away researching it. But before I get into the case, I wanted to remind you guys
that I am currently looking for graphic designers to help with future merch collections. So graphic designers, mainly people who have had
experience with apparel. We've gotten a ton of applications. We're still going through them. And I just wanted to let you guys know that it's still open,
and you can still apply if you want to. My husband's bringing me a pillow. Pregnancy is really
starting to hurt. (chuckles) So if you are interested, that application is linked below. But let's go ahead and get
into this one, shall we? So the family that we
were talking about today is the Stockdale family. And like I said, they were on "Wife Swap." Now, if you haven't seen "Wife Swap," it's pretty prime reality TV. Not gonna lie, it's definitely
a guilty pleasure of mine. Now, tsk, "Wife Swap" is definitely a bit or a lot exaggerated. The whole premise of the show is they find two families who are completely different. For example, they'll find a religious
family and swap them with a super non-religious family, or find a really clean family and put them with a messy
family, just polar opposites. Now they definitely have the families kind of play up their differences to an extreme level. And then they have the two
wives of each family swap. And obviously they know that finding two very different families and having them swap lives is
going to create some drama. So before each wife leaves their house, they write down a list of rules for maintaining their household. And then the new wife that comes in has to follow these rules
for the first couple days or, I think, like the first week and then they switch. So the new wife is able
to come in with the rules that she has in her own household and impose all these
new rules on this family who is completely opposite. Then at the end of the two weeks, the families come back together and talk about their experiences. Sometimes they learn lessons, sometimes they appreciate their, you know, wife even more when
they are switched back, or they realize how awful they are, one or the other. So "Wife Swap" aired from 2004 to 2010 and was rebooted in 2012
with a similar concept, but it was "Celebrity Wife Swap." "Celebrity Wife Swap" only
aired for four seasons before ending. But yeah, I love those
"Celebrity Wife Swap" episodes. They are juicy. So back in 2008, season four of the
original "Wife Swap" aired. And the Stockdale's a family of six who were based out of Stark County, Ohio were among the families
that were featured. Their family included their
parents, Tim and Catherine, as well as their four
sons, Calvin, Charles, Jacob and James. Now the Stockdales lived in a rural town on a farm, and the boys were
raised very conservatively. And I don't mean that,
politically, necessarily, but instead their access to traditional media and
traditional upbringing was extremely limited. For example, the boys were not allowed to watch TV, play video games, date. They couldn't listen to
any rap or hip hop music or any secular music, as they say. They couldn't even eat
candy, couldn't cuss. And as you probably would guess, they couldn't have any unmonitored or unscheduled internet access. And all four boys were
homeschooled by Catherine and were bound by very strict schedules and rules as a way to protect them from bad influences. Catherine even stated that in order for her boys to have success in life, they would need a good work ethic and lots of structure. Growing up, the boys were
also heavily influenced by bluegrass music and it
was a big part of their life. And eventually, they started
the Stockdale Family Band. And it wasn't just the boys. Their father was also part of the band. Tim played guitar. Calvin played banjo. Charles played the mandolin. Jacob played the fiddle,
and James played bass. And their mom, Catherine, did not play an instrument herself, but she ended up giving herself
the role of band manager. And other than, you know, maintaining their farm
and going to school, the Stockdale Family Band was their biggest
responsibility and priority. (upbeat Bluegrass music) (crowd claps and hoots) ♪ Peaches in the summertime,
apples in the fall ♪ ♪ If I can't have the one I love ♪ ♪ I don't have none at all ♪ ♪ Oh, walking into my sleep ♪ ♪ Boy, walking in my sleep ♪ ♪ Up and down this country road ♪ ♪ Walking in my sleep ♪ (upbeat bluegrass music) And the band was relatively successful. They traveled all around the US, competing and actually winning several regional competitions. They actually wrote
three albums as a family, and they would play their music
in several different states, including Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. And they mainly did small
venues like churches, theaters, and country fairs. - Oh, hello, everyone. I'd like to invite you to the ninth annual Stockdale Family Band, "Bluegrass and Gospel Show" on April fool's day. You won't have to be the fool though. We got that covered for ya. Click above for more details. - [Kendall] And they said that their dad was their inspiration for
playing old time acoustic music. They would even have music nights when they were younger and growing up, their dad would play guitar, and the boys would hit pots and pans until they were old enough
to play instruments. Jacob, who is the third
son, born in may of 92, started taking music lessons
at only seven years old. And he was just 12 years old when the Stockdale Family Band began. But by then, he was already playing
fiddle like an expert. Now, despite their love
of bluegrass music, they still had strict rules around rehearsing for the band. And honestly, strict feels
like an understatement. So of course, when they
went on "Wife Swap," some of these rules that they had were on the show, and the wife who swapped with them thought they were
very overwhelmingly strict. Of course, they switched with a family who was completely opposite from them. A very liberal family from Illinois who lived nothing like the Stockdales, and their last name is Tonkovic. So Lori Tonkovic was the
wife who switched places with Catherine Stockdale. Obviously they were completely different from the Stockdale family. They were very carefree, and their two kids were 21 and 17, and they were super free
to go about their lives as they pleased. Lori even stated that her
kids were allowed free reign over anything in their home. The Stockdales, like I said,
had a no dating policy, but the Tonkovics actually had the girls' significant others living with them in the home. So drastically different
experience for Catherine. So in the episode, Catherine leaves a very
detailed family manual for Lori, which laid out everything the boys were required to do every day. And it also includes some details about why she chose to
raise the boys this way, and how she thinks it will
benefit them later in life. Their family manual said, "Welcome to our home! We're not just a family, we're a band. The Stockdale Family Band. We play Bluegrass in
barn dances and shindigs all over our area. We have Calvin on banjo,
Charles on mandolin, Jacob on fiddle, and
James on upright bass. Tim, my husband is on
guitar and I'm the manager. A family that plays
together stays together and there's nothing so wholesome as playing old time bluegrass with your favorite people, your family. We move to the country to get
our boys away from the city. Our children are being raised away from violent language, sexual influences, drinking, smoking, drugs, rap music, all the things we left behind in the city. Instead we are raising our children on a diet of wholesome
activities and farm work, keeping their minds pure
and their bodies healthy, and keeping out the influences of modern society,
that's why we homeschool. TV and video games are banned, they produce redundant
minds and lazy children. I want my boys to be
active, productive, and busy every waking moment. Internet access is restricted. There's no idle surfing in this house. Instead we enjoy spending
time reading to each other, playing music or story-telling." Now this one kind of surprised me. I've never heard of any
family having rules like this, but the boys were not even
allowed to play sports. Sports of literally any kind, because she thought they would make them too self-centered and competitive. And one of the important ideals that Catherine really seems to drive home is that nothing is free in their home, everything is earned. And so, of course, she
has the boys do a variety of household chores, and farm work in order to receive tokens
in exchange for that work. And then, you know, they save up their tokens
and if they get enough, they're able to watch a pre-approved family friendly TV show or have one stick of gum. And Catherine says she stays home to cook, teach and manage while Tim runs the farm and works a second full-time job, delivering animal nutrients
to farmers across Ohio. When it comes to chores,
here's what the manual says. "We do not look at chores
as free slave labor. We are giving our
children a good work ethic and a selfless attitude. It keeps us grounded,
and bonds us together. We like to teach our boys
to work with their hands. This means chores, yard
work and cleaning." And when it comes to eating, the manual states that the meals
must be shared as a family, unless Tim is gone for work or Calvin is away at college. Meals cannot be rushed. And each day they have a detailed menu of what they will be having. The boys obviously are not allowed to have any type of candy or
snacks throughout the day. And if they don't finish a meal, they will not be given anything else until they finish whatever's
left on their plate. Catherine also explains that the boys wake up at 7:30 every day, and then they're given a four minute. I don't know why four minutes,
but a four-minute warning that breakfast will be served soon. And if they do not arrive
for breakfast on time, they are actually charged. They have to pay up 25 cents, and the fee increases the
later they are for breakfast. And she says that this teaches them about financial penalties, and the manual also lists a bunch of potential meals
that Lori can cook for them. Some of these meals include: link sausage on bread with sauerkraut, breakfast giblets, yummy, which is hearts and gizzards, fried liver on bread and butter, supper herb baked chicken with salad, and then more standard
things like scrambled eggs and sardines on hot
buttered toast with mustard. After breakfast, each of the boys have to do their chores before they start their homeschooling. And Catherine also notes in the show that they have to get
A's on all their material before they move forward
with new material. And she also explained in
the show that, you know, homeschooling gives her the control over what is taught,
and what moral lessons her sons learn. She also says that the kids participate in debate lessons every day at 4:00 PM. Then, at the end of the
day, they have dinner and after dinner, they must
practice their instruments and follow anything outlined in the band's contract. During the episode, Catherine stresses that the number one rule in their house is that the kids obey their parents. Specifically, in the manual she says, "The first rule of this house
is to obey your parents. Teaching the boys respect is vital in this modern world where so many children disrespect adults. We don't tolerate any of the boys hurting each other physically or verbally and insist that if they make a mess they clean it up." So at the end of the first week, obviously Lori does not like the way that the Stockdale kids are being raised and she gets to change the rules. During week two, Lori allowed a lot of different things, and the boys were honestly
pretty uncomfortable with it. For example, she allowed the
boys to play video games, which is something they were not used to. And obviously, they're gonna enjoy it, but they felt extremely guilty. And at one point, Jacob actually ran out
crying and told Lori that if he played video games, his parents would tell him
that he would burn in hell for playing video games. And also, one of the
things that she wanted the boys to experience,
during her week was to date. So she tried to get Calvin and Charles to go on a date, but they
were very, very against it. I mean, they were just scared to break any of the family rules, especially with the idea
that they would go to hell for doing any of these things. And on the other hand, of course, Catherine was just
appalled by all the freedom that Lori's kids had, especially by the fact that they had their significant others living with them. So she decides to teach them a lesson by having them carry babies around that cried, you know, kinda like those dolls
that some people get in health class as like a form of birth control, really. (chuckles) They cry when they need to be
fed, or burped, or changed. And the idea with those dolls is to teach teenagers a lesson about the responsibilities that
come along with having kids. Of course, by the end of the two weeks, both wives are very ready
to get back to their life. But before they switch back, they have them all kind
of convene and discuss what they learned from each other. And really just rip each
other's parenting to shreds. And Lori actually ended
up calling Catherine a terrible parent, which obviously she was
not too happy about. So in the Stockdale house, the kids are eventually able to leave home if they want to once
they hit a certain age, although this is highly discouraged. But when they reached college age, Calvin and Charles decided to leave home. Calvin went off to Hillsdale
College in Michigan and Charles went off to study and be a doctor in Philadelphia. So now Jacob and James
were at home dealing with all these rules and
pressure by themselves. And they still played in their family band without their older brothers. Once Calvin and Charles left, Jacob was now the oldest
son living in the home, and he actually joined a second band and won first and second place in a handful of regional contests. (upbeat instrumental music) And things were "normal"
for a little while, but that all changed on June 15th, 2017. That day a 911 call was made to Stark County police dispatch. But the caller hung up before
stating their emergency. But of course, police were able to trace that call back to the Stockdale residence, and they went ahead and
sent a squad car there. So when they got there, two sheriff deputies approached the house, and they realized that the
front door was left open. So they slowly walk towards the door. And as they do, they look inside and
they realize that someone is lying motionless on the floor. Immediately, they call for backup. And then they start giving
verbal commands to this person, hoping that they will
stand up, but they don't. And they don't hear
anything inside, at first, nobody responds to them. But then, they hear a loud gunshot come from inside the house. So more officers are on the way, and these deputies decide to
go ahead and enter the home. And when they do, they realize that it's Catherine Stockdale that's lying on the ground. And then they realize
it's not just Catherine. It's also the youngest
brother in the family, James, who is lying motionless on the ground. And it turns out that both of them were dead from a single gunshot wound. And then they found the oldest brother who's currently living in the house, Jacob on the ground with a
gunshot wound to the head. But unlike his brother, James and his mom, he was still alive. So obviously, based on the crime scene and the fact that that last gunshot had gone off after the
police had already arrived, they knew that they had walked in on an attempted double murder-suicide. So Jacob was rushed to
MetroHealth Medical Center to be treated for his
life-threatening injuries. - Two dead bodies along with what they believe is a
self-inflicted gunshot wound on a third person over on Dolphin Street yesterday afternoon, they got the 911 call hang up around 4:30 in the afternoon. The victims, 21 year old James Stockdale, and his mother 54 year
old Catherine Stockdale, The alleged suspect, James's
brother, Catherine's son, 25 year old, Jacob Stockdale. He was flown to
MetroHealth Medical Center. - So late yesterday
afternoon at about 4:36 PM, our office received a 911
call from the residence. It was a landline call,
not a cell phone call. It was a hangup call. At that time, after we
received the hangup call, which we do in a number
of cases on a daily basis, we responded deputies to the residence. Upon arrival at the residence, the deputies noticed that
the front door was open. As they approached the house, they seen what they believed
to be someone laying on the floor. They gave verbal commands. There was no response. And at that time, there was
a gunshot that went off. After the gunshot went off, they tactically approached the house. When some backup arrived and discovered that the suspect, Jacob Stockdale had attempted suicide and shot
himself when they arrived. - And in the press conference, the sheriff also added that
they had never been called out to this house before, they had no reason to believe that anyone in the home was in danger. And they also stated
that the murder weapon itself was a 20 gauge shotgun. And after they first
spoke with the father, they had no understanding
for why this happened. - You know, it's hard to, you know, kinda surmise what the
motive may have been. You know, there's some speculation. We don't really wanna
get into that part of it. But we'll continue to
investigate this case and try to determine if there's
a motive, just do not know. - So when this press conference was held, Jacob was actually still in critical care, hanging onto life. Obviously, they're
hoping that he survives, and that they can interview him to determine a motive. Calvin and Charles were obviously alerted about what had happened
back at the family's home. And they were shocked. Calvin actually made a public statement, and he said that James,
the youngest of them, was always the catalyst of family fun. He was a gifted musician,
loved dancing and people, and was working towards
earning his business degree to get into business entertainment. He said, "He leaves behind many friends and a family that love him dearly." So three days after this happened, the remaining family
members told the media that they expected Jacob
to make a full recovery. At that point, you know, he still had a few procedures
and surgeries coming up, but they were pretty positive he was going to live. And Calvin also put out this statement on behalf of his family. He said, "I speak for our
family when I say we love him and forgive him. The prayers and support for my family have been deeply appreciated, we ask for continued prayers
for Jacob's healing." The community donated over $14,000 to a GofundMe to raise funds
for the memorial service for Catherine, James. Tim says that Catherine
was an incredible wife. The two of them met in college at the Agronomy Club and
stayed together ever since. He described her as having a strong love of learning, a passion for her Christian faith, natural health and organic farming. So their GoFundMe eventually
reached over $31,000. And those funds were used to help pay for Jacob's medical expenses as well, which was pretty controversial. A lot of people had
mixed opinions on that, but people are free to
donate their money, right? James ended up requiring care at the Metro Health Medical Center for more than a year in order to recover from the self-inflicted
gunshot wound to his head. And obviously, police had to
wait for Jacob's condition to improve before they tried to determine a motive or formally
charge him with anything. So eventually, September 26th, 2018, the Stark County Sheriff's Department filed the indictment against Jacob. And later that afternoon, he was made aware of
the charges against him. But before they even had the chance to make the arrest themselves, Jacob actually turned
himself in for his crimes on September 27th, 2018. After that, Jacob's lawyer
was given the pretrial date, which was scheduled to take place on October 9th, 2018 at 8:00 AM. And his bond was set
for 1 million dollars. When the pretrial date came around, Jacob's defense attorney filed a motion to determine competency. Obviously it's possible that Jacob was struggling with his mental health before the shooting even happened. But especially now that he
had a horrific brain injury, so this motion would determine whether or not he was even
competent to stand trial. Jacob and his attorney ended up submitting a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. - Am also going to be
filing the not guilty by reason of insanity plea and asked the court to order
the appropriate evaluations for that plea also. - Eventually a psychiatric evaluation was performed on Jacob in 2019. However, based on the doctor's evaluation, they determined that Jacob did not have a mental illness that would prevent him from understanding the legal proceedings. So this obviously means that Jacob is gonna be standing trial. However, his defense attorney was certain that he was not fit to stand trial so he asked for a second opinion. So a second psychiatric
evaluation was performed, and this time, the doctor stated that
there was cause for concern and that Jacob was not
competent to stand trial. But this doctor also said that Jacob could be restored within a year if he was given intense treatment for his mental health. At that point, of course, Jacob's defense attorney
wanted a third opinion, but that was denied because
it would've cost taxpayers an extra $5,000. So after hearing the results of both psychiatric evaluations, the judge declared Jacob
incompetent to stand trial. And he ordered that Jacob be placed at Heartland Behavioral
Healthcare Hospital for treatment. So because of this, the double murder trial was delayed until Jacob would be able
to be deemed competent. Additional assessments, of course, were given to Jacob while
he was at Heartland. And the mental health officials at the treatment center actually requested the audio from Jacob's phone calls between himself and his family while he was at Stark County Jail. They believed that hearing those calls would help them determine
if Jacob was competent, because it was suspected that he may have been
faking his mental illness. They felt like at the very least, they'd be able to get a
better idea of who Jacob was by hearing those calls. But during his time at
Heartland, he had some hiccups. He actually tried to escape twice. The first one was November 18th, 2019. This was just a few months
after his treatment. And I guess he tried to escape by hiding between stacks of books in the library after hours. - [Judge] They alleged on November 18th, Mr. Stockdale attempted to hide between the book stacks at the library. - And then his second
attempt was December of 2019, and he tried to get out of there by kind of blending in with people that were exiting the
building, and it did not work. So that brings us to January of 2020. And at that point, a psychiatrist determined
that Jacob was competent to stand trial. They actually put out
a report that went over all of the different
restoration activities that Jacob participated during his stay. He actually was there for
a total of eight months, and they said he made a lot of progress. During that time, he was also required to participate in group therapy. And then they also did mock trials, which they did to determine whether or not he could
understand what was going on in these fake trials and see if he could fall
along with his own trial in the future. The psychiatrist noted that
during these mock trials, Jacob was able to
understand plea bargaining. He was able to understand
court terminology. He was able to follow trial process and had the capacity to respond
with relevant responses. So this report gave
the judge enough reason to deem Jacob competent. But even though he was, at
that point, deemed competent, he still had to go
through a sanity hearing. This is a hearing that would determine if Jacob would spend his sentence in jail or back in the mental health facility. And this was scheduled
for March 30th, 2020, and I'm sure March of 2020 rings a bell for all of you. That's really around the time that the world was locked down. And we all started really feeling the effects of the pandemic. And as we all remember, there was hope that two weeks
would bring us back to normal, stop the spread enough for us
to get back to normal life. And because of this, the sanity hearing was rescheduled for 8:00 AM on May 4th. But, as we all know, May 4th came around and
COVID was still an issue. So the hearing was pushed
back again until June 22nd. However, two more delays occurred. So then the sanity hearing was pushed to September 8th, 2020. And because COVID was
still raging at that point, and long after, Jacob was teleconferenced into the hearing from Heartland
Behavioral Medical Center. - [Judge] They are recommending that the least restrictive
environment for Mr. Stockdale while considering community safety is to Stark County Jail. To that point, I decided with the defense
in setting the Heartland for the purpose of getting
restored his competency. We had, on February
19th, Dr. Panto indicated that the competency was restored. - And through the hearing, Jacob often did not respond
or even acknowledge the judge. And this became an issue. - [Judge] Mr. Stockdale,
are you able to hear me? First of all, officer, can you hear me? - [Officer] Yes, your
honor, we can hear you. - [Judge] Okay and thank you. Mr. Stockdale, I am judge Frank Forchione. Are you able to hear me today? Okay, he is not responding. My first concern was
whether they could hear, and the officer standing
behind him can hear. Mr. Stockdale, can you see
your lawyers here today, Mr. Cazantzes and Mr. Graham? Okay. Again, he's not responding. - [Kendall] His attorney responded to this saying that Jacob had
difficulty processing and speaking when using technology or potentially even
had some fear doing it, which is why he didn't speak, which would kind of make sense considering he was taught to be so
afraid of technology his whole life growing up. So an additional psychologist found Jacob mentally sane
on December 31st, 2020. So a trial date was set with the intention that he would be serving
his sentence in a prison. The original trial date was
set for January 26th, 2021. And because postponing is sort of a theme in this case, of course, that was delayed as well. And it was actually a spike in COVID cases that made the trial be
delayed to May 4th, 2021. So a new pretrial hearing
was set for February 11th, which Jacob also attended virtually. And in this hearing, the judge went over Jacob's behavior during his time at Heartland Behavioral, including his two escape attempts. He also reviewed a letter
from one of Jacob's doctors, which stated that they believe Jacob was now able to wait out
his trial and sentencing in Stark County Jail. - During these incidents, he attempted to hide in hospital library after closing hours. Following this incident and
being restricted to the unit, a couple weeks later, he
subsequently attempted to blend in with a group of patients
who were leaving the unit. Later, they've go on to say
Mr. Stockdale's current level of functioning, which is more stable, better allows for him to carry out any potential behaviors
or plans he may have. They are recommending that the least restrictive environment for Mr. Stockdale while
considering community safety is to Stark County Jail. - [Kendall] The judge also pointed out that Jacob made a comment to an employee at Heartland Behavioral
that his new haircut made him look like his cousin, and that he would be able to walk out if he were given a set of keys. - But this new haircut,
he resembled his cousin. If he were able to take
keys to the facility, he could walk out. - So after laying all the evidence out against Jacob and noting a good deal of his bad behavior, while in rehab. Jacob's defense lawyer
had a chance to speak, - [Lawyer] Your honor, I would say that Jacob has done well while he's there at Heartland
and he has progressed. This court has seen him and heard him from being disheveled and nonverbal to now he is, you know, showered and he's clean shaven. He participates in group therapy. He goes to mock trial and he,
not only takes medication, but he gets some supervisions to make sure that he takes that medication. - So, as I mentioned earlier, it was put out in a
statement by the family, by Calvin, that they forgive
Jacob for what he did. And that continued on. By the time the trial came around, the family was very open about the fact that they forgive him, and they wanted the lightest sentence possible. He was facing 30 years in prison, and their family
literally begged the judge to let him off as easy as possible. They were really hoping that the judge would give him some leniency,
but to everyone's surprise, Jacob didn't make it to trial. One week before he was
supposed to sit before a jury, Jacob pled guilty to the double murder of his mother and brother, and he never offered up a
motive for why he did it. Although most people suspect it had something to do with
his very strict upbringing. So now, Jacob is serving
30 years to life in prison, 15 for each murder. - [Reporter] Jacob Stockdale
was charged this week in the 2017 murders of
his mother and brother, Catherine and James Stockdale. The 26 year old Stark County
man turned himself in Thursday. He was recovering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound stemming from the 2017 incident. The Stockdale family has declined to speak about the case or their thoughts, but they have been very
clear through it all that they forgive Jacob,
and that they love him. And Jacob is eligible for parole in 2048. And to this day, we don't have any answers
about why he did this. People can only speculate. And a lot of that
speculation comes, of course, from the "Wife Swap" episode. But we don't know if there was like a specific event that really
sent him over the edge, or if this was something he
was planning for a while, none of those details are out. But it really does seem that Jacob's life was so strict, that he
was under so much pressure that he snapped. But, of course, that's just an assumption and people have different opinions. So I definitely wanna know
what you think, of course. What do you think sent
Jacob over the edge? This case is just so sad all around. It really is. I wanna hear what you guys think though. And if you think his
sentence was justified, if you think he should have
gotten a harsher sentence, a lesser sentence, and I wish there was more of an answer to make sense of this,
but that's all we have. And I've gotta say, now watching
that "Wife Swap" episode, tsk, you see it with a whole
different view in mind. Like it is incredibly eerie, but that is gonna be
it for me today, guys. I hope you found this case interesting. Of course, like I said, leave your thoughts in the comments below. And before I go, I would like to thank today's sponsor and that is Audible. Audible has been sponsoring
my content for years now, and I'm super, super grateful for their support. But I have been an Audible user since way before they started
sponsoring my channel. I'm a huge fan of Audible. Truly, I can speak
authentically to the fact that their service has
really improved my life. So as an Audible member, you get one free audiobook every month, and you get full access
to their plus catalog, which is fantastic. It has a variety of audiobooks, podcasts, audible originals, guided
fitness and meditation programs and sleep tracks for
a better night's rest, which are awesome. I definitely recommend those. This month I wanna recommend
"The Devil in the White City," which is about H.H. Holmes, one of history's most
notorious serial killers. It's by Erik Larson. And if you've never heard that story, you're definitely gonna
wanna check it out. And what's so great about Audible is that they offer a 30-day free trial. You just can't go wrong with a free trial, and you can access that free trial at audible.com/kendallrae or you can text kendallrae to 500-500. So that is all I have for you guys today. I will be back next week with another case to go over. And this one that I have
coming up is very interesting. It's a family-involved video, and I think you guys are
gonna be really intrigued and wanna help take action. So I'm very excited to share that with all of you coming up. So I will see you next week, but until then, stay safe out there. (gentle morose music decrescendo)
