Let's Not Meet: A True Horror Podcast - Wednesday One-Shot: I Went on a Brief Date with a Murderer

Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Wednesday One Shots, the series where we share a bonus midweek story with you. This time we have a story from a listener named Emily. In 2015, I moved to a town where I knew nobody, but who doesn't love a fresh start, right? I started working at a factory and made friends quickly. I have always been a people person. I enjoy new people and new adventures, so I put trust in others easily. Yeah, dumb, I know.

Starting point is 00:00:43 Well I know now. At this factory, I didn't work with everyone, but those who I worked with worked very close with me. So I either knew everything about a coworker or absolutely nothing. There was no in between. After a year of working there, this man who I worked with said he wanted me to meet his son who will call CJ. My co-worker said that his son was being released from prison, claiming that he wasn't in there for anything too bad. He wasn't sure why CJ was in prison, but he said that he thought it was just because

I said I was overly trusting. A few weeks had passed and my co-worker's son CJ came to work at this factory as well. Now I ignored 100% of the red flags. CJ walked up to me. He was bald, 6'5", and he had a pale, tattooed face.

Starting point is 00:01:56 He said hi as he approached me. There was nothing that attracted me to him, so I still didn't instigate anything with him. Looking back, I think it was because at the time I was very insecure and trying to overcome my own emotional shortcomings. At this time, I was clean from drugs for about a year or so and I was looking for anything to take me out of, well, me. A few days had passed and CJ invited me over to the house where he lived with his dad. When I got there, they were passing a plate of meth around. I was very uncomfortable and had to

Starting point is 00:02:36 find a fast way out. Luckily, I was able to leave within a few minutes. CJ would get high and text me novels and he would do this 24-7. I quickly realized I was just a ride for this guy, so shortly after, I ran as fast as I could away from him. Two years later, I was sitting outside of my new job and I got a text from a friend at my old job at the factory. All the text said was, call me. So I did. My coworker asked me if I had heard what had happened. I asked about what?

Starting point is 00:03:18 Since I genuinely had no clue what she was talking about. She replied, CJ It took me a few minutes to realize who CJ was. When I finally realized who she was talking about, she elaborated. He murdered his child in a hotel. They found him on the run with the baby's mother. Yes, the mother of the child that was killed. The police shot him and they were arrested.

Starting point is 00:03:47 Later, they were both sentenced. The baby's mother received a life sentence and so did he. CJ eventually killed himself in jail. So CJ, let's not meet in this life or the next. life, or the next. ක්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්නෙන්න්නෙන්න්නෙන්න්නෙන්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්නෙන්න්න්න්නෙන්න්න්නෙන්න්නෙන්න්නෙන්න්න්නෙන්න්න්නෙන්න්න්න්න්න්න්නෙන්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න්න් you
