Hey, weirdos, I'm Ash.
And I'm Alaina.
And this is morbid. Hey, we're back. Hey, we're back with a brand new case episode. It's not even a brand
new case. It's not a brand new case. We've been living in this case
for two whole episodes already. Yeah, we're about to get evicted after the end of this. John Edward
Robinson is not gonna quit. He is not legit, but he's definitely not gonna quit. Eventually he's
got it. But don't worry at the end. He's forced into retirement. So, where's that? Well, we were like,
is there any true crime news?
And I was searching here on my little phone thing and I was like, oh, okay, there is some
true crime news, some local true crime news.
Yes.
And Cape Cod, there's apparently a man, Daniel Gorman, 52 years old, he lives in West
Falmouth, and he has been following young women, leaving restaurants.
He followed a girl home last night, apparently. He drives a black Chevy
truck. The plate number is 6GP914. I guess he was like questioned by the police, but they
didn't have enough to hold him on. But there was a 16 year old girl who was walking home
from her job in Falmouth, and a black SUV began following her. They asked if she wanted to ride home. She said no.
And then the car stopped, got out, and the person was literally
trying to pull her into the car.
And the vehicle was described as a black SUV that
makes a squeaking noise.
The operator was a white male approximately six feet tall,
40 to 50 years old, deep voice, black t-shirt, dark pants,
and short if not balding hair.
So please be on the lookout for that local lady.
Be careful and get calm.
And then everybody, like be on the lookout.
Yeah, in the Falmouth area.
So creepy.
Don't ever try to drag me into your car.
I'll make you a knee-eye ball.
Oh, that's a nightmare.
That's a nightmare.
That's a nightmare.
Go get mace if you live in the cape. Yeah, if you live in the cape. In, that's a nightmare. That's a nightmare. Go get me if you live in the cape.
Yeah, if you live in the cape.
In the cape.
Where are you from?
It's on the cape.
I'm from inside of the cape.
But yeah, that's really scary.
Hopefully that doesn't happen again.
Life is so scary.
I'm glad that we have these ways of like spreading this
though and being like, don't get in that car.
Seriously.
Don't talk to that dude.
But still.
But still.
But still.
That's terrifying.
But you know what?
We got you through two parts of this asshole too.
Don't talk to this dude either.
Don't.
You don't have to worry about it because he's put away.
So it's cool.
But that's spoiler alert.
Let's get into it.
At the end of part two, he had convinced several women.
He had convinced Isabella Lluica.
He had convinced Susette Trouton.
He had convinced Catherine Clampett.
He had gotten Debbie and Sheila face
to come out to Kansas from different states,
promising them jobs, promising them new lives,
promising to take care of them.
Sheila and Debbie were a mother daughter,
15-year-old disabled in a wheelchair
with Spina Biff at a daughter.
That one ruined me.
That he promised to take care of,
sent to a special school,
help her with medical bills, all that stuff.
It's just, this dude is fucking terrible.
Evil to the core.
And now he has the last victim that he has
Basically made vanish from to finair is Susette Trouten
He the last we saw him was he had gone through all her computers and he had put her stuff in storage
She gave her dogs away
And he had told her mother Carol that he was going to be jet setting her, you know, through Europe and all that good stuff. Lies. But her mother immediately knows that these emails and letters that she's
getting are not from care, not from Susette. Of course she knows it. Now, her mother called the police
in late March because she was that, she was like something's wrong here. Yeah. And they talked all
the time. Right. At least once a day, if not several times.
That's so heartbreaking. So the police started looking for her and they found her dogs. They did
track down the two dogs that had been adopted out. And when her mother found that out, she said,
that's when the panic button went off because she said she never, ever would have willingly giving
up those dogs. It never would have happened. No. And then they found out that her stuff was in a
storage facility called Store for Less. Store more for less. That was weird. That set off alarm bells.
They noticed Robinson also had a unit there in the same storage facility under his name. And they
made the connection immediately. Because of that. They've been looking at this guy. They know that
people are just appearing around him, that women are. So've been looking at this guy. They know that people are just appearing around him that women are.
So they're already thinking this guy's a creep.
So they started looking into this because he's made
a ton of waves.
I mean, first we had Paula Godfrey,
we had Lisa Stasi and her daughter.
Now we have all these missing women.
Like he's making waves.
Yeah, he's making tsunamis.
And he's been able to get away with all this.
Like people haven't looked too far into him
because he's so far picked women that he can, he like makes a relationship with. He's convinced them
to do these things that will give complete control to him. And then he's also got all these different
ways of like housing them. So it's hard to keep track of where they are. Well, in just ways of like forging their names.
Yeah.
Just like he gets them to write their names on things and addresses
of friends and family, so he's able to keep giving them these backgrounds and
keep giving them these stories of where they are and people aren't questioning it.
And most of them are of an age where if they decided to take off, they're
taken off. We can't do anything about it.
So Carol also did something different.
She called Robinson herself.
Yes.
She was able to do this because Su-Zet had actually gone
against what Robinson had told her.
Robinson told all of these ladies,
never to tell people his name,
not any of his contact stuff like he didn't want any of that,
but Su-Zet had smartly given his information
to her mother.
Yeah, good.
We love a mama bear.
He said he was like shocked when she called,
like really shocked that she had done that.
He told Carol, her mother, that Susette had rejected him
and run off with a man named Jim Turner.
They're super happy.
She didn't want my job offer.
She didn't want to be with me.
Like they're happy. Yeah, right. They're super happy. She didn't want my job offer. She didn't want to be with me. Like they're happy.
Yeah, right.
She knows her daughter.
And he had said that she was sailing around Mexico
with Jim Turner.
That's what he told her.
Sure.
So she was like, yeah, that doesn't sound right at all.
So she was like, you know what?
I'm going to call the fucking police
if you don't tell me where she is.
And it scared the shit out of them.
Good.
So this is when shit gets good. This is when shit starts unraveling around.
Because she's going to call the police. He knows this. So he's like, fuck.
I'm like biting my lip back on. The other thing is, you're like, what's going to happen?
Like, fuck. The other thing is, Suzette had made some really good friends in life and in the online
world. Because remember, she was online a lot. She met a lot of people. She made lasting friendships.
And in the BDSM community,
she had some very good friends
who were also like occasional lovers and whatever.
With, in two of them, in particular,
one was named Lore Remington.
That's his name, her name.
Excuse me, that's her name.
That's her E.
Lore Remington.
Okay.
What an awesome name.
That's a cool ass name. And an awesome podcast. Go with an Alure.O.R.E. L.O.R. Remington. Okay. What an awesome name. That's a cool ass name.
And an awesome podcast goes into L.O.R.
Hey.
And her friend Tammy Taylor, they had all been very good friends.
They had all like really formed a relationship.
They had been like occasionally in relationships themselves between each other.
And they were super worried about her because these were also the friends that immediately had advised her against moving out there in the
first place. They were not, they did not trust this whole thing. Right. You had
said that her friends were like very skeptical. Yeah, and they were very
concerned that she was now nowhere to be found. They knew she wasn't talking to
her mother all of a sudden or she was talking weirdly to her mother and emails
and shit. It just wasn't. And there were like,
none of this is making sense.
We know Suzette.
This isn't her.
So they talked to police and they basically were like,
they were like, here's what our relationship with her is.
They outlined everything about it and they said,
we know that she was going out there to Kansas City.
She was going to work for a guy.
His name was, you know, John.
And this guy is very active in the BDSM community.
And lore in particular said, I know where to find him online. And she was like, I've seen him a
ton of times in those chat rooms. I've seen him since who's that went out there in those chat rooms.
He has propositioned everyone around me and me at different times. So she said, if you want me to go undercover,
I will go undercover in that chat room.
I will talk to him.
I will get as much information as I can
and I will try to make him slip up.
Lower fucking Remington.
Fucking lower Remington.
Or the mother fucking wind.
Did any of us, for one second question,
never, whether lower fucking Remington
would go undercover and get this fucker.
Lore Remington was born to go undercover.
Did any of us question it?
I came out of the womb with a fucking trichro.
She was ready.
Ready.
Ready to go.
And she just offered this.
That's cray cray.
And this was one of those situations where they had never been, they hadn't been dealing
with this kind of like like basically an online serial killer
who was like luring women over the internet
to come to a different state to kill them.
I mean, like you have said,
the internet was brand spank and news and it's impenetain.
There wasn't even fucking date line.
Yeah, there you go.
Well, not date line, the one.
Was it date line?
The one that undercut and they, they,
yeah, I know what you're talking about,
the cataculture editor.
Yeah, to catch a press, Christ.
I was like, what's that?
I was like, the, the, this, this, this.
Like Chris Hansen thing.
Yes, they did.
Yes, so, yeah, so she, they had never used a civilian
to go online undercover.
They had obviously used, they knew, like,
in form of our always existed, but like,
I'm like online.
This was just like a very different thing
Yeah, and John Douglas in the in the books says a lot like how new this was and how they were trying to navigate it very
Quickly very
Efficiently and like make this work, but it was all again brand spanking new so they were doing the 90s and the early
Outs were just it guys. There was such a time. I miss it.
There was such a time.

So basically, they were going to do a sting operation to get information about Susette, but it was going to be a long one
because they knew they weren't going to get him just to like spill shit right away.
Yeah, it's smart. He's the manipulative one. We're gonna have to make sure you don't get played.
Laura is not gonna get played. She's not getting played. Don't even play. So they went for it and they connected online. Lauren, John, immediately. Wow. And he was hooked immediately because who wouldn't be by Laura?
Because her fucking name is Lauren. And basically was ready to start a master slave relationship with her like right off the bat.
He wanted naked photos of Laura and she was like, no, no, he wanted her to come to Kansas
like immediately was like, let's do it.
Like she was his next.
Wow.
Like, boom, let's see.
How scary that must have been for her to know.
She knows that's what he's fantasizing about murdering me.
And he also started messaging lore as Susette and pretending to be Suzette and be like,
oh, John's really great. Like, you should definitely come out here.
And that's her, and he doesn't even know that that's her friend.
But he's, she's like, basically Suzette is being, and well, then she kind of like,
she did let out a little bit. Like, oh, like, I've seen Suzette in these chat rooms.
Sure. Like, I've seen her. I know her. So that's when he sent fake
Suzette to be like,
oh hey girl, he's so awesome.
Like, you should totally come out here,
John's the best, like he's such a good master
and like we love him and like he's taught me
so much about this.
And lore knew it wasn't Susette.
Like she was like the way she was talking,
I know her, like I know her, that's not her.
And Tammy Taylor tried to do the same thing.
She got in on it now too.
So she started luring him as well.
We love a friend group that is this solid.
What a squad.
Like what a squad goal.
That is a team right there.
I retract my statement about a last episode
squad goals and I'm referring it to this one.
Yeah, squad.
He acted the same way to her,
totally ready to add another woman to the list, like, ready.
Wow.
So they're trying to do stuff.
They're like, they're emailing with them.
They're not getting anything really solid.
So this is gonna be a long process
and they're willing to do it.
They're like, we'll sit here and do it.
Now, police became aware at this time of more women
that he was currently checking into motels
and apartments all over.
No, thank you. So they formed a legit task force that was created just for John Edward Robinson.
And after they went through all his criminal records and shit, they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We need Stephen Haymes on this. Like he needs to be on this task force. So they called him and
they were like, we need your help. And it was a Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison,
who I mentioned the last episode.
He led the task force.
And detectives were now learning from Laura and Tammy
more about like the BDSM worlds.
They, which like I give them props
that they like wanted to understand this more
so they could better understand him. Like they were thinking like profilers props that they like wanted to understand this more so they could better understand him.
Like they were thinking like profilers and that's like interesting.
Yeah.
Because like I'm sure this like police department was not like very equipped to deal with like all of this.
You know, I wouldn't think so.
Like in the like the Midwest, they're not like this police department is probably not like,
yeah, we're totally up on all like the kinks that could possibly involve.
We have a whole book on that.
So they had Lauren Tammy literally sit down
and like explain the ins and outs of these relationships,
what they should be, what this looks to be,
and like how this isn't the same.
And basically we're just trying to understand
like how they could get to him kind of thing.
And so they were tailing him, they were tapping his phones.
Wow. They even had officers pretending to be utility workers outside of
his home to watch him. That is amazing. They had others that were literally
sunbathing in neighbor's yards just to watch him. Like pretending to be neighbors
just like sunbathing in their backyard. And also they worked out a deal with
the garbage collectors. They would come early to his house, empty his trash for them, give them to these detectives
to bring back to the station so they could pick through all of his trash to find evidence
while.
And they would replace the barrels.
Now the problem here was that Robinson had been conditioned to feel impenetrable.
He got away with everything and he literally just floated through the disappearances of was that Robinson had been conditioned to feel impenetrable. Right.
He got away with everything,
and he literally just floated through the disappearances of polygod-free,
Lisa Stasi, her daughter Tiffany, Catherine Clampett.
So Paul Morrison, the DA, like I said in the last episode,
he was like, we're gonna make sure that we are able to nail him
on the Susette Trout in case at the very least.
They were like, we want solid evidence that we're going to put his ass behind bars for good.
Like this needs to be not getting out of it.
Life imprisonment or in Kansas, they were like, or death penalty.
We're going to get this fucker.
So they didn't want any more of this probation crap.
They didn't want him wiggling out from any more fucking charges.
So the progress was unfortunately slow, but it was very very deliberate
Paul Morrison said quote at the time he said I'm pretty invested in this case
The amount of victimization that he has wrought on people is beyond comprehension in so many ways every day people have been
Victimized by him and from that standpoint, it's extraordinarily important that it be stopped.
Yeah. So this is when they actually got a hold of FBI profilers in Quantico. And John Douglas
talks about this obviously because he's like the, he's where you should go for that. And he was
saying like this was really smart of them to do. And they, they could have done even more with it because there's so many facets
to John Robinson and seeing how he was able to like totally like associate with two different
ways of living at once like he really was especially at this point in like 2000 and stuff.
He was a he was a grandfather of seven grandkids seven. Yeah, wow and by all accounts
They fucking loved him his kids loved him. They loved he baby sat his grandchildren
He had a Santa suit. He was the local Santa like he was a fucking insane
There is I mean it is literally like that jekyll and hide
I think it's unreal. That's crazy and And by all accounts, he was like really good with kids.
That's so good.
Which is really, it's always strange when that's a thing.
And terrifying.
I don't know why.
It's just always like, throw, I'm like, why?
Because I don't want John Robbins to be good with life.
Why can you do that to women?
But then be nice to, I don't understand.
No.
But like they're, I don't, I don't.
It's even like, I mean, I'm happy when animals aren't hurt, but it's always like
strange when like, there will be like a very statistic murderer who like. It's even like, I mean, I'm happy when animals aren't hurt, but it's always like strange when like,
there will be like a very statistic murderer
who like has a dog.
Yeah, that's the thing.
It's like very strange to me.
So like John Douglas was saying in the book
that like, you know, going to Quantico
and talking to these pro-files
to try to get a better understanding of him was smart
because it helped them understand ways
that they could trip him up.
And understand ways that he might trip up because he was so fucking well
like really good at covering all of this. So they were gonna have to find a way
to like find a little break in the armor kind of thing and they weren't equipped
to do this. Because then we're adding in this whole world of BDSM and
master slave sexual relationships and he was part of this weird club
and like that it goes so much further with it. So it's like that's a whole different set of
psychology that you need to deal with. So he's a lot on paper. Exactly. He really is. So in the meantime,
he had convinced two other women to come to Kansas and be his sex slaves. In the meantime,
they were both treated horrifically and put up an extended stay hotels where the police were staying
in the rooms on either side of the room that he would thank them and God because they were they
were stationed there because he always used a number 120 that room. He always used creepy. And they would listen, but there was problems here because so he would be very violent,
like not BDSM violent where they, you know, say for its expectations, trust all that.
He was violent like beating these women for his own pleasure and taking photos of them
to later use to blackmail them. And he would obsessively call them and show up to have
sex with them and then leave them abandoned for days
at a time to really fuck with their psyches.
That's so fucked.
And one of these women had brought,
and this sounds like you're gonna be like, what?
One of these women had brought $700 worth of sex toys
with her in a duffle bag.
And he stole them as punishment,
like took them from her, and she didn't have anything.
And I think, I guess this was just one thing
that was like hers.
Sure.
$700 is a lot of money.
Yeah.
Especially for sex toys.
I'm sure him stealing that from her was like,
what the fuck?
After he put her through all of that.
Right.
So he like, because she wasn't being a good,
you know, sub or whatever it was.
So he took them and like walked out of the hotel and was like, these are mine now.
This pissed her off.
So all the other stuff was like, she felt just like beat down.
This was the tipping point of like that fucker.
So she called the police.
Okay.
The other woman that was going through this as well at the same time was so traumatized by
his treatment of her that she went right to the police as well.
Wow.
And she had to be put in a safe house.
Oh my goodness.
She was so fucked up from it.
And she went to them and was like,
I did not enter into this for this.
Like I did not sign up for this.
This is not what I wanted.
Like, and she was embarrassed
because she was like, I'm into like a little bit of this stuff
but like I'm embarrassed about it.
Like, and this is not what I wanted.
Like, and I just really scared that. And this is not what I wanted.
Well, I'm just so scared that people are gonna look at it.
They're like, well, you know, you sign up after this.
Or there's something she was like,
this is not what I asked for.
I was into a consensual, trusting media.
Which is why it's so great that they did end up having
lore and educate them about it.
Yeah, so that they could understand
that this wasn't a case of you asked for it.
This is a case of like, there's real rules involved here.
Right.
But the problem was that the police are sitting there.
They're seeing this.
They're seeing that things are going on.
They're hearing things, but they can't really do anything.
But there's a sexual component to this and there's consent that is in some way happening
here.
And these are adults.
Well, unfortunately, they shine. like unfortunately. So they're really do much.
They signed like,
and they signed contracts.
So it's like,
there's a lot of weird,
just fogginess that is happening here
that the police are like,
we don't know how to fucking intervene here,
because like there's only so much we can do.
Technically,
this is technically a weirdly consensual relationship.
That's happening.
Even though it's not.
When obviously when they came to him to the police and said he stole $700 or some things
from me or he sexually assaulted me, that's when they said, okay, we can do something
now.
But still, at this point, he was also still with Barbara.
Barbara, the woman that he walked by in the grocery store with Nancy,
the one that Nancy wrote a letter to,
that he had been with for like 35 years at this point.
That's crazy.
Still with Barbara,
and he was telling Barbara at this point
that they are going to move to Canada together
and start a new life.
So she, do you think she was next
or do you think he was dip in Canada?
I think he was dip in Canada.
Wow.
Because Barbara packed all her shit, she was ready to go. I don't was dipping a Canada. Wow. Because Barbara packed all her shit.
She was ready to go.
I don't know, I don't really know how to word this
without it sounding like, eh, but like, I just,
I don't understand how he chose who he was gonna kill
and who he wasn't gonna kill.
I have no idea.
Like it's just like very confusing,
not like Nancy and Barbara were never like,
physically hurt to our knowledge.
I think because Barbara, I don't know exactly how
Barbara came into the folds, but it's like Nancy
and Barbara to me seem, well there's a couple of things here
because in one way I can like say that this works
but in another way it doesn't.
Okay.
Because I was gonna say like Barbara and Nancy
are almost like the only long term stable,
who everybody's like that he loves.
That he loves,
he's so much from.
But he looks at them as like,
like he's never gonna leave his wife.
Yeah, no, of course not.
He's that's his life,
that he goes back to that.
Well, right, that's what it means.
And that's his stability of like,
I can chill out here.
That makes me go get my rage out over here.
I think Barbara somewhat resembles that as well
because he gave her all of like Isabella's shit
and he like kept her there.
It's really going.
Barbara, that's like the confusing relationship in my mind.
Well, but I could almost put her in the same place
as Nancy because he seems to almost hold them
in the same kind of regard.
He does, you're right.
But then I throw Beverly Bonner in there who, because I was going to say these other
women, he lures off the internet except for Beverly and promise of this and promise
of that.
It's all this sex involved in BDSM and all that.
But Beverly was married and had a job and wasn't looking for a new job.
Okay. And had a job and wasn't looking for a new job. So maybe, we know that Nancy wasn't into the BDSM lifestyle.
No, we don't really know about Barbara.
Barbara was, I think.
Oh, okay, so that goes my theory.
I think Barbara was in the...
I was gonna say maybe...
I don't understand that now.
Every time I think that...
No, I don't know.
That's why there's no understanding him. And that's why they reached out to the FBI profilers
and Veronica, because they were like,
help us understand this.
I know I love that.
I'm like, maybe I can figure this out.
Meanwhile, the FBI's like, girl, we didn't.
Meanwhile, John Douglas, like, mind-tunters, like,
I have no idea what that was.
Yeah, because it's amazing.
But I want to figure it out.
I'll call you.
Also, John Douglas, come on the show.
Please. Yesterday. But either way, I'm like, it's a mix of. But I want to figure it out. But I like, we'll figure that out. John Douglas, I'll call you.
Also John Douglas, come on the show.
Please, yesterday.
But either way, so he's still seeing bar,
all of these women that I have named to you,
all of these encounters, all of these murders,
all of these terrible, terrible things that are happening.
Yeah.
These relationships that he's carrying on,
these affairs that he's carrying on,
these terrible things he's doing
He is still maintaining a wife and family and he's still maintaining a full-time mistress in Barbara and then telling her
We're gonna move to fucking Canada
And Barbara's on it like she's into it. Yeah 35 years this girl has dealt with this stuff. I'm like Barbara. What are you doing?
Makes no sense
But either way Su-Zets family is getting more and more typed letters still.
Through this whole thing, that has not stopped.
They're getting letters.
I hate it.
The correspondence has not stopped.
And now it's saying that she's with her lover, Jim Turner, and that they're sailing around
Mexico like he had told everybody.
Survey service.
And they're having a great time.
No.
They're having a great time. No. They're having a great time.
Now, then during the investigation,
investigation and the surveillance,
they found out that he had lured yet another woman
from Tennessee to come live with him in Kansas.
Wow.
Now, initially, they're like, Jesus Christ,
like another one.
Like, what do, but they're like,
what are we gonna do?
And they're thinking like I just said,
it's gonna be the same shit.
We're gonna hear all this stuff,
we're gonna see all this stuff.
There's gonna be contracts involved,
they're gonna be adults.
We're not gonna know what to do.
What are we gonna do?
We do get into this,
we're gonna keep watching this happen.
We gotta catch him in something,
but they learned that this woman from Tennessee
had an eight year old daughter who she would be bringing with her.
She lived in Kansas because he had promised her a life.
He had promised her a life.
Oh, no, of course. I'm just saying, ah, because I know what's going to happen.
Exactly.
But so he had also come in contact at the same time that he was bringing this Tennessee woman with her eight-year-old daughter to Tennessee.
He had also come in contact with a 17-year-old girl
who had just given birth.
That's underage.
And was living in her car with her newborns.
She was in such dire straits.
You poor thing.
He had told this girl,
if you become my sex slave,
I will move you in the infant onto my farm.
I'll give you a chance at a good life.
You just have to do this for me.
And she was desperate.
Of course.
This is when D.A. Paul Morrison decided decided it's time to move in on him now because he was like it was the children who
tipped the scales for him because he said
there was no doubt from any of us that he was capable of harming children if it got in the way of what he was doing.
And he said you know
with how he is with women and girls, it's
not a jump to think that if a kid got in his way, that he would hurt the child. And at
this point, they didn't know what happened to Tiffany. Right. So they were like, we don't
know if that did happen. Right. So they said, you know, like we said, we can't get too
far into like these relationships we were seeing with women that were seemingly like paperwork
and all that shit. But once kids are coming into the fold,
that's when we came to college.
And like John Douglas was saying,
like you bring an eight year old into this like crazy ass
world.
We got to stop this.
Right.
We can't just sit back and watch this and survey it.
We can't do that.
It's a baby.
So Friday, June 2nd, 2000 at around 10am, nine officers
arrived and surrounded his farm and he let them in.
Knocked on the door. He let them in and they let him know everything they knew.
He had a farm for real. It was on a farm like the trailer was on a big farm. Oh, gotcha.
And he was shocked when they mentioned Lisa Stasi in Suzentra.
They said he went paler than a ghost.
And they were like, what's weird is he's always so charismatic
and he knows what to say and he's always like,
blah, blah, blah, do, blah.
And as soon as he mentioned those two,
he was like, whoop.
And he was like, I'm surprised he didn't continue
to go with the same story though.
Well, they told him basically like, we don't buy it.
We have evidence that suggests otherwise.
Right, like fuck right off with that.
We know you're telling lies.
So they arrested him at his home.
He was charged for the sexual assaults against those women
who did go to the police.
And the theft of the duffle bag of sex toys worth $700.
That's a big amount.
Who knew that would do it?
That's the thing that tipped him around.
The smoking dillow.
Thank goodness that she got pissed about those sex toys
and then goodness the other girl went
for the sexual assault charges.
Yeah, because you want more.
Was initially set at 250,000.
Then they searched his property for hours.
They took tons of evidence, they took tons of photos,
they found a blank sheet of paper
that had Lisa Stasi's name on it
that he had kept.
After all those years.
15 years he had kept that piece of paper.
Wow.
Then I don't even know where my birth certificate is.
Exactly. Well then, they found blank sheets of paper
that Lisa Stasi had written on,
and they also found receipts from back then as well,
and one of them was a receipt from the roadway in 15 years ago
where he had kept Lisa Stassi and the receipt showed finally that he had checked her
and Tiffany out of the hotel the night that he had ripped them away from her sister-in-law
in the middle of a snowstorm. And they said she likely died that evening.
Wow. And finally they were being able to piece these pieces together.
But I don't know where she is.
I desperately don't worry.
And Heather Tiffani doesn't worry because she is.
And don't worry because she is.
At the end of this, I have some resources that Heather Tiffani has become a part of and
created herself.
So I'll definitely shout those out.
They also found social security forms for Debbie and Sheila Face, the mother daughter. Wow. The mother and disabled
daughter who disappeared. I mean, what was that? Like 10 years or whatever. Or not even 10 years
probably. No, that was more recent. Yeah, but it's still in the 90s. Either way, he found their
social security for like, why would you have those? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. They also found credit cards
and credit card builds. Bills that were under the name James Turner.
There was a checkbook with John Robinson
and Barbara's names on it.
He had opened a checking account with her.
I am not okay.
Thank you.
That, I know that's like a small family.
No, it's not.
What the fuck?
No, dude, me and Drew have been together for four years
and we don't have a checking account together.
What'd you do to me? I mean, like I get there, we don't have a checking account together. What's you doing?
I mean like I get there were together for 30 but like they're not still.
Oh, that's your mistress I'm so confused.
Like you do have a check book with both of your names on it.
In the same.
And you are full blown married to another woman with a full will-ass family.
And those check books are in this in between.
And those check books were found in the trailer where he lived with his wife, right?
Yes.
Yeah. It was? Yes. Yeah.
It was like office.
Yeah.
Snoop through your husband's stuff, everyone.
For real.
If this doesn't tell you.
I snoop all the time.
I'm a snooper.
I'm a snooper.
Well, and honestly, it's like in this case, it's like you had to be thinking something.
I mean, come on.
Like, I don't just snoop, just snoop, but like if you think something's going on, they also got
to search.
So they also got a warrant to search the storage facility he used in this area.
And in this area it was need more storage.
It was called.
No, you don't.
He does not.
So, Suzette Treltan's passport application, Social Security card and birth certificate were
found in that storage. They also found the 42 pre-addressed envelopes that he had made her fill out because he claimed that
you would be so busy. So we had them write those to fill the bag. Imagine finding 42 addressed
envelopes. Yeah, and also they found 31 sheets of paper with love via Suzette written on them,
31 sheets of paper with love via Suzette written on them like as a buy
Mm-hmm 31 sheets. I gotta go. They found a slave contract that was signed by Suzette a stun gun a picture taken of Suzette And sexually explicit positions or several pictures. Excuse me
And also a sex tape he made of her him abusing her ah. Ah! And it was like a 39 minute tape.
I don't like that.
Her belongings were also in there including her journal
and like several like close possessions.
Isabella Luecka's driver's license was in there.
Her university ID from Purdue,
a signed slave master contract from her,
nude photos of her and sexually explicit positions.
There were also tons of sex toys and
BDSM tools, vloggers, cops, all that shit. He even had a metal speculum. What is that? What they use
at the gynecologist? Yep. I wish you could see. Absolutely. Just made the like motion of us. Oh, yeah.
motion of oh yeah oh so no no that's what I said when I read it I said no no I words can't no this now we're going into like toy box killer kind of shit I don't like it at all yeah they
also found the sex toys that were stolen from that woman so oh so she got the baths in there so
the sex toys that were stolen from that woman. Oh, so she got the bath?
She was in there.
So this whole thing was led by Sargent,
the search at the property too,
at the home, excuse me, the trailer.
It was led by Sargent Rick Roth
of the La Nexa Police Department
in Johnson County Sheriff's Deputy Harold Hughes.
On June 3rd, they brought in cadaver dogs at the farm
and eventually they picked up a scent.
And they picked up a hard scent like they went like bonkers.
They immediately alerted officers that there was a cadaver scent around 285 gallon yellow
barrels next to Robinson's shed.
When they moved the heavy barrels, officers noted red fluid dripping out of them, and the
scent began to fill the air.
They pried the cover off, and immediately were literally thrown backwards with the
worst scent of decompt they had ever smelled.
Consolidated and up in like that, I can't even imagine.
From the book that I've mentioned like a million times, it says,
Hughes peered inside at what seemed to be decomposing flesh.
A body with its head pointed down, sitting in about a foot of rancid fluid.
It was bloated and purplish.
So they did the same thing with the second barrel and found another body with a pillow on
top of it.
It looked like it had been there longer than the other barrel's occupant.
Inside the trailer, they started looking some more now because now they have bodies, so now they look,
let's look for some blood.
In the trailer, they found duct tape with blood on it,
paper towel with blood on it, blood on the baseboard
in the bedroom, and they also found hair and flesh
embedded into the wall in the bedroom.
Flesh.
Yep.
And they found more bud stains around the room
and also an impact stain, which is consistent
with the proposed murder weapon we will find out in a second of a hammer because it created
a splatter impact stain.
And the blood in hair was found later to be Susette's.
So the bodies were immediately taken into custody.
They were autopsyd by Dr. Donald Pogeman.
He was a pathologist in the deputy coroner
of Shawnee County, Kansas.
The first barrel, which they just called it first,
unknown one, was a nude female in the fetal position.
She had long dark hair and a ponytail and pierced genitals.
She was blindfolded and she had a severe head wound
to the left side of her head that was determined
to have crushed her skull beneath it.
They determined it was done with a hammer. It was done so hard that skull pieces were found inside
her brain from the wound. No defensive wounds were on her, suggesting she didn't know the blow was
coming, was caught off guard, or knew her attacker, or all three, which I think all three I would think.
She was the estimated time of death had been a couple of months to a year.
Within a couple of days, dental records showed that this body belonged to Suzan Trouton.
She also was found to have a, there was a, like a, what is it called?
Yeah, like I said, she was blindfolded.
There was, it was like a, I think it was like a satin kind of like fancy blindfold.
Sure. So I said it was likely like used in some way.
And actually going back to the Pierce genitals thing that reminded me of the Colleen stand case.
That's a thing and like those relationships.
That's the thing.
So that's why they were like, okay, this is connecting.
Now, barrel number two was unknown too.
That's what they called it at first.
It was another female body nude, except for two was unknown too. That's what they call that at first.
It was another female body nude,
except for a sheer black shirt.
There was a ton of fluid around her,
and they found duct tape and fingernails floating in the fluid.
Oh my goodness.
She had dark hair that was matted to her head,
and a pillow and pillowcase was found
on like in the fluid on top of her.
Her, I know fluid is such a gross word.
Her wounds were too blows to the left side of the head,
consistent with the hammer.
She also had a fractured jaw.
Decomposition showed she was dead
between six months and two years.
Within days, dental records gave them her identity
and it was Isabella Lueca.
Now they were cooking and they want a warrant
for that storage place in Missouri now.
Yeah, I have a question about the pillow.
Do you think that that was just in there?
Because it was like evidence or do you think that?
Yeah, I think it was probably just part of it.
It's interesting because she lived with him the longest.
She lived, I mean, she didn't live with him though.
But I lived with him like a month,
for a while, for a while. So I just wonder if there was like some with him like a month or a while. For a while.
So I just wonder if there was like some sense of like nothing.
None.
Yeah.
Literally see her apart, I believe.
So there was any kind of even psychological thing.
No.
But that I think it probably had shit on it.
Probably in there with her.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
I literally think that's it.
I wouldn't give this guy even a moment of like feeling anything for this.
No, I didn't think so, but.
No.
What's weird is it's like he's caring by all accounts
to like his children and his grandchildren.
I don't think he has the capacity for these women though.
No, does Barbara come out and say anything at any point?
Not really.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, she kind of just is like, whoa.
It's crazy.
Maybe what I would also say.
I think, wow.
Whoa. That's really nuts.
But now that all this is coming out, things are going.
And now they want to warrant for that storage place in Missouri because they're like, what
are we going to find there?
And that's a one that's called store more for less.
And they got it.
And on June 5th, they opened Locker E2.
There was a lot of stuff in there.
But it was just like a ton of shit.
Just like what you would put in a storage facility, but there was also three big barrels.
And remember, Beverly, when he drove Beverly's car there and rolled a big barrel in there.
So I just remember that. This was that storage facility. So they opened one of the barrels
storage facility. So they opened one of the barrels and they saw a shoe, a bedsheet, and glasses. And when somebody lifted one of the items, a human leg was under it, and they
closed that barrel. The other two barrels were leaking a lot, and it was really foul smelling
in there, like really badly. Other people around these lockers actually had complaints.
It was a permeating error around it. And he had said like a dead raccoon
had caused it at one point.
Yeah, no, I don't think so.
He had actually poured kitty litter
around the bases of these two barrels
to try to mask the smell, but like...
That only makes it worse, my dude.
Come on, dude.
Like, catch it and humans decomposing
in barrels of their own fluid are two very different games.
Yeah, and also pretty litterative.
Pretty different games. I can only imagine pretty different. I did different games.
So I can only imagine what the cat literally is doing back then.
In terms of how different these are, it's like one is a baseball game,
and the other is like an underground dog fighting ring.
Like that's how different those games are.
Yeah.
Cat shit, human decom.
Yeah.
But did he not know about like limestone?
Yeah, I don't, I think he was just,
he didn't think anybody was gonna look.
Kitty litter.
It wasn't working.
That's some dumb shit.
To try to, I'm assuming he was trying to absorb up most of the fluid.
That was probably a lot of what he's thinking.
Yeah, but that's dumb.
I don't think he was too worried with the smell, I guess, but.
So the doctor that did these autopsies of these barrels was Dr. Thomas W. Young.
He was the chief medical examiner for Kansas City. Get it.
And he did barrel number one, which contained a woman with dark brown hair, yellow bed sheets,
brown sheets, earmuffs, and she was fully clothed. She was dressed in what it was described in the
book as, quote, stir up pants, a tweed jacket, pantyhose, underwear, a blouse with a
multi-colored scarf, and gloves that covered her hands.
The woman had one really like ornate earring, I guess, and a fancy watch that was stopped
at the time, 122.
Oh, that's interesting.
That's enough.
Oh, that's enough.
Same with the other woman, there was a severe blow to the left side of her head that
they figured was a hammer blow blow also one to her forehead.
She didn't have any defensive injuries and dental records showed this body was
Beverly Bonner.
Oh, Beverly.
Barrel number two.
Woman with long dark hair, fully clothed.
She was dressed in a t-shirt that said California a state of mind.
Jeans, socks, and white shoes.
She had upper dentures that had cracked in half.
She had been hit so hard. There were blows and fractures to her head and face. There was one in her
head that was the sinus of an orange. The doctor said there were wounds that were definitely caused
by a hammer, and she had one large defensive wound, which was a broken arm. Oh gosh, so she thought.
had one large defensive wound which was a broken arm. Oh gosh, so she fought.
And I'm guessing you might be able to tell who this probably was judging by how hard
she fought against him.
So what we found out was that was Sheila Faith, the mother of Debbie Faith.
So I'm assuming she was fighting for her daughter.
Absolutely.
And barrel number three was a female with her head down, long brown hair, younger than the
others.
She was fully clothed wearing green pants and a green sweater.
She had one sock on.
The body had a generative condition and misshapen bones in her pelvis.
No defensive wounds, but several severe hammer blows to the head.
Dental records showed that this was Debbie Faith. Hammer blows. I so think wow
Yeah, it's like really horrific to think about
After these were found his bond was raised 5 million, which was the highest in Johnson County history
They soon found out that surviving former lovers of his were had been given and worn Isabella's clothing and jewelry in particular.
That's so fucked. The ones that were around were some of them were walking around in her black
velvet dress that you wore all the time. And had no idea. And then they were so dark.
Barbara and some of the others had her art that he had written his own name on it and said that
he had painted it. I hope that was given back to her family at some point.
I hope so.
Because that's, woo.
So they were able to figure out that he likely murdered
Lisa Stasi and that baby given to her brother
was actually Tiffany.
So now they're starting to go, okay, Lisa Stasi's murdered.
That's for sure.
Tiffany is that baby.
Because all of a sudden they're connecting these dots.
They found documents and they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Like he gave his, wait a second.
Like everybody's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
So they informed his brother Donald's and his wife.
His brother, I mean, his brother and sister-in-law were literally like,
shook the core.
I mean stunned.
At the time they found out Heather was 15 years old.
Heather Tiffany. Sure. And they kept Tiffany as her middle name. Like I'm not just calling her that.
And what they had to say when they found out was Don said quote, we too have been betrayed.
We have and will continue to cooperate with the authorities investigating the allegations
surrounding John Robinson. We love our daughter very much.
Since her adoption, which was never kept from her,
we have always assumed that as she became an adult,
she would be curious about her birth family.
Because we were unaware whom her birth family was,
it was our intention to assist her in any way possible
in her efforts in identifying and locating them.
Wow.
The circumstances surrounding the investigation
of John Robinson are as distressing
to our immediate family as they are
to the other families victimized.
Our daughter is aware of the investigation
and we are doing our best to help her
through this difficult time.
You can't imagine.
To not only know that you're adopted
and like, you're gonna have to search for your mom
because nobody knows who she is,
but then to find out that she was murdered
by your uncle
who kidnapped you and gave you to your adopted parents.
How do you ever reckon she knew Uncle John?
Right, exactly.
Like now she was like,
she murdered her mother.
There's a photo of the day that they came to get Heather.
Yeah, I saw that.
And she's sitting on John Robinson's lap.
He's wearing a yellow sweater and his smile in a hat.
And he looks like a happy proud grandpa.
I'm definitely killed.
And he has a jost murdered her mother.
That's faked.
What?
So his other family members, like his wife,
were adamant that this was bullshit and he was innocent.
No, the bodies were found in your home.
Yeah, fuck off.
Because here's the thing.
It's like, that's what killed, they found fucking bodies in barrels on your property
and all the victims have their shit strewn everywhere in your properties.
Like you don't think your husband has anything to do with that?
Like are you kidding me?
No, listen, I can't imagine. The T.K.'s family was completely in the dark
of what happened, similar to this if that is the truth.
They, like his daughter Carrie and his wife,
they had no fucking clue.
All they knew was that Dennis Raider was a good dad
and a decent husband, I don't know, like he was fine.
Yeah.
They didn't have a lot of bad things to say.
He's a good guy, I don't know what to tell you.
No, they knew that they were going,
they were gonna have to go through their own
fucking grieving process.
Cause they, I mean, Carrie, she wrote a book about it.
Like she's, she's, like amazing.
Like it's crazy.
It's like she wrote a whole thing
saying like should they had to go through
their own grieving process of losing your father?
And they thought they knew.
And like the person they had grown up with and your husband. Of course you do. Losing your father and your husband thought they knew.
And like the person they had grown up with and spent their whole lives with.
Right.
And now they're having to deal with the fact that he's this monster.
Right.
And imagine being like, no, he didn't do it.
But you can't sit there and say that this is bullshit.
You can't do it.
So disrespectful to the family.
You can't do it.
There's other victims' families.
There's co-be-there's survivors that know what he's done.
So what their- what their whole statement was was, we as a family have followed the events of the
last week in horror and dismay along with each of you.
As each day has passed, the surreal events have built into a narrative that is almost
beyond comprehension.
While we do not discount the information that has and continues to come to light, we do
not know the person whom we have read and heard about on TV.
John Robinson is a loving and caring husband and father. We wait with each of you for the cloud of allegations and in
New Endo to clear revealing at last the facts.
So wait, which one was the cloud of in you endo? Was it the bodies rotting in barrels on your property?
Was that the...
Was that the confusing part for you?
Are we gonna find out something different about that?
Here's the thing.
I can understand
his children not wanting to grasp the idea.
Of course. Of that their father is this.
Children I can understand,
even though they're grown adults at this point,
their dad is your dad.
I can understand that it's like gonna be a minute
for you to grasp this. Absolutely. your dad is your dad right? I can understand that it's like gonna be a minute
for you to grasp this.
The spouse you gotta just, you gotta let go man.
You gotta let it go, you gotta understand.
Like you gotta, just when bodies and barrels
are found on your property,
it's time to let go with some of the,
great, I cannot hide it there.
Listen, I get like there must have been like
an insane amount of denial going on.
Absolutely, that's like a stage of grief I an insane amount of denial going on. Absolutely.
That's like a stage of grief, I think.
But, you don't come out and make a statement.
That's disrespectful to the family.
You want to come out and say to the family.
What you should have said is like, where as horrified as you are, we're so sorry.
We're sorry to the victims and their families.
We give them their thoughts the end.
You don't have to add your own little like honestly.
Or honestly to seeing that this is bullshit.
You don't even have to make a statement. You don't have to say your own little like honestly. I'm seeing that this is bullshit. You don't even have to say anything. No one
is better. It'd be better. Right. Because honestly, it's the truth. Families of these monsters
are victims in their own right. Absolutely. And it's like everyone we feel for you. Like
I feel for I can't imagine. No. So it's like no one expects you to have to come out and
say something like I don't at least I don't expect you to like So it's like, no one expects you to have to come out and say something like, I don't at least,
I don't expect you to like, grief, grief.
And if you need to do that silently or whatever you need to do,
but she stuck with them for a long time.
That's so fun.
Robinson was being charged with the murder of Lisa Stasi
Isabella Luica and Suzette Trouten and Kansas
and the murders of Sheila Faith, Debbie Faith,
and Beverly Bonner and Missouri, and the murders of Sheila Faith, Debbie Faith,
and Beverly Bonner and Missouri, 56 counts of fraud and forgery.
They didn't find Lisa Stasi and they didn't find Catherine Clampett.
That's so sad.
But they were going to charge him with the murder of Lisa Stasi based on, I think, Tiffany,
Heather Tiffany helped that out a lot.
What about polygod-free?
Polygod-free.
They didn't have any evidence.
That's so sad.
So they couldn't charge him with it, but she's listed.
Of course.
It's very clear what happened there.
So February 2001, his preliminary hearings began.
And Lisa Stassi's sister-in-law took the stand.
And when asked to point to the man who picked them up
from her home,
and that snowstorm that night, she pointed right at John Robinson and said, he looks older,
but he still looks evil, which is like, I love it. And he does. So finally, after hundreds of
motions filed by the defense, and I mean hundreds, literally hundreds, they kept doing it,
to throw out virtually all evidence, including the
bodies found on the farm.
How do you throw that out?
They tried to throw that out by saying that a police officer while doing surveillance ahead
of before this had walked on the property and taken pictures.
And so that violated his constitutional right to search and seizure, even though they
didn't take anything.
And that discounts the fact that
So now that that's on the property, we need to get rid of all of that
Yeah, let's just and the judge was literally like no fuck right off and they were like that officer didn't do anything wrong
They took pictures. They didn't take anything
And it's a big public like big farm with no no dressing passing signs on it. So
But yeah, finally June 13th, 2002. So, he was, his preliminary
hearing started in February 2001. Oh, yeah. June, 2013, 2002. John Robinson was charged
with five counts of first degree murder for the body's founding Kansas and Missouri. The
death penalty was being brought to the table for it in both states. Nancy took the stand and defended him,
saying he only carried on affairs during the day and was home at night. And they called him in the media the eight to five serial killer,
which I'm like, that's not cute. And she said he was always a great father and husband, which I believe.
Sure. If you tell me that, I believe that. But stop saying you didn't murder people that he clearly murdered.
And she said she didn't understand all of this.
She didn't understand who this person was.
She loved him and always would.
And here's the thing, again, I feel for you.
I feel for you.
I can't fucking imagine.
No, of course not.
Which I feel like she's,
I think it's just very much in denial.
Well, and I feel like that's sad.
Of course it is.
She's that much in denial.
You know what I mean? This is just a terrible situation. They found and I feel like that's sad. That's very sad. She's that much in denial. You know what I mean?
This is just a terrible situation.
Imagine if they found like five fucking bodies
in your backyard and you were just like,
that's what I'm saying.
Oh, okay, John's murderer.
I wouldn't be able to just grasp that
right away and be like, well, fuck it.
I don't think you ever grasp that.
And that's the thing.
That's why it's like, we get it, man.
But just don't defend it.
You don't have to come out and defend him.
Like, we get it. We get it, absolutely. We get it, forever, I would be as well. But it's totally fine just don't defend him. You don't have to come out and defend him. Like, be in denial.
Absolutely.
Be in denial.
Forever, I would be as well.
But don't.
It's totally fine.
But don't defend him.
Don't defend him.
Just don't.
And you know, like all his kids said he was wonderful.
He was loving.
He was a great grandfather.
I mean, I'm glad that he was a good dad to his kids.
Well, in the defense said that all his kids turned out very well adjusted.
They were absolutely raised well. They said they didn't, and his kids came out later
and said they genuinely didn't know the man that they were reading about in the papers.
Yeah, of course. They were like, we literally didn't know what this was.
That's good. You don't want to know that, right?
And then I'm like, but man, I feel for you guys.
Yeah, that's, you feel, I feel, in the biggest way.
That is fucked. like really fucked.
So then they played the tape in court
of the horrifically violent sexual encounter
with Susette, the 39 minute tape.
39 minute tape.
I don't know how jurors get true thought.
I could never.
While this was happening, he leaned over in his seat to get a better look at it
and was smiling through it. It was very happy that they were showing this. And when the 39-minute long tape
ended, suddenly on the film, the movie Willy Wonka started playing because he had filmed that
over his kid's tape, his grandkids tape of
Willy Wonka in the chocolate factory.
That's not even real.
No, that's real.
And they were saying like John Douglas said in the book how, how perfect that was to show
the jurors.
As a person, is this violent, horrific, abusive sexual encounter with this like helpless woman
who they found dead in a barrel on his property
and then immediately after Willie Wonka plays and shows like, oh, that's his other side. That's the loving grandfather who watches silly tapes with his kids.
Yeah, I don't have words and imagine being the jurid just being like, oh, like that just
I got it. I got it. I got watch the whole thing again. I got it girl.
Not that I ever wanted to again.
Yeah.
So Paul Morrison, the DA, his closing arguments were pretty great.
But I'm just going to tell you part of it.
He kept using the word sinister for him, which is a great word for him.
And he said sinister.
And then he said in that he's J.R. J. Osborne or others, always lowering vulnerable people,
sinister, in that we've got rotting bodies in the barrels,
sinister, and that he took a baby from her mother,
and sinister in that Sheila and Debbie Faith in her wheelchair
were murdered and put into barrels.
You wondered, did Debbie watch her mother get murdered?
Right, that's the first thought I had.
The defense team used a thorough quote,
the massive men, the massive men.
The massive men lead lives of quiet desperation.
And that was to try to like humanize him.
What?
But then Paul Morrison got the final word
and he responded to that saying,
those lofty words don't have much to do
with extramarital affairs, BDSM, torture and death, do they?
No, thorough, like literally just robed over
in his grave eight times.
And he also said, the misery this defendant has inflicted
all those years is beyond human comprehension.
This is your opportunity to hold the defendant accountable
for his actions.
And then I guess he literally turned to walk away
and then he turned back to the,
this is the jury and said, I hope you do.
And then walked away, which I was like,
I love it. Like, like, I love it.
Like, I love a theatrical like, oh yeah, yeah, you should do the fucking right.
Because it's like fuck yeah. Yeah, yeah, you do. Yeah.
Well, on Tuesday, October 29th, after deliberating for 11 hours,
they found him guilty of all charges. Good.
He was unanimous and he was unanimously sentenced to death in Kansas.
By Robinson could become the first convict executed by lethal injection in the state of Kansas.
Yeah, go ahead.
In Missouri, additional charges were put on his sentence because more cases were coming in
that were similar.
And so they were kind of bringing them forth to see if those were part of him as well.
He is currently on death row in Kansas.
He is 76 years old. He is serving his time at El Dorado Correctional Facility, which is a
maximum security prison in Butler County, Kansas. It was not until 2005 that Nancy finally
filed for divorce. They had been married 41 years, she put down incompatibility and irreconcilable
differences. I can't say that's her. It's hard to say.
That's the reason. Irreconcilable differences.
Irreconcilable differences.
Irreconcilable differences.
There you go.
Which I would say so.
I would say so, Mama.
So in 2006, Lisa Stassi's daughter Heather Heather Tiffany filed a civil suit against Truman
medical center in Kansas City in the social worker that get that referred them. Sure.
And said that because he just called and said he was looking for fucking and he was saying like
unwed mothers of white babies. That's how he was explaining it to me. Well, he's right because
he only wanted white women.
Yeah.
Which is, like, that should have tipped you off.
He didn't want to help black women.
Right.
Like, that should tip you off that this is not a good guy.
Not a good guy.
So she did do that.
They did reach a settlement in 2007.
And she split it with some of Lisa Stasi's family members.
I love that.
That's amazing. And then today, I read a heavy article
that Heather is married.
She has sons herself.
Good.
And she has a podcast and an organization
called the Lisa Stasi Effect.
Hell yeah.
And it's supposed to help uncover the truth about her mother.
She also has a YouTube channel for that podcast.
Amazing.
And let me tell you, my new fucking goal is to find out
what the fuck happened to Lisa Stasi.
Well, because I want to know where she is.
He won't say anything.
He will not say, he'll never admit it.
And she just wants to bury her mother.
Yeah, obviously.
And I guess there's a headstone in Alabama, I believe it is,
that they erected in Lisa Stassi's honor
to just be immemorial to her.
She also said that her adoptive parents, Dawn and his wife,
drove her to that several times throughout their life.
That's what always does.
And she said everything she wants is just
to have her mother buried.
Yeah, she just wants to be able to see her.
And fuck, I want to help her mother buried. Yeah, like she just wants to be able to see her. And fuck, I want to help her too, but like I want to help her
figure this out.
Where would he have buried her?
I don't know.
That's the thing.
Does he have like places that I mean,
they would be in his property, but they drained it
and they didn't find any.
She must be in Kansas or Missouri, you would think.
You would think, but now I'm like, what the?
She's so strange because he obviously didn't do that with any of the other victims
who are knowledge.
Who are knowledge.
Well you did because Catherine Clampet we haven't found.
And God for you actually.
And God for you actually.
And yet it was like he did that in the beginning and then he kind of left.
So where are those three?
Right.
I need to know where they are.
I just hate how many unidentified.
I just want to help Heather.
Yeah, I do.
Heather, I want to help you.
Seriously.
I'll do whatever I can to help you.
But man, this case, so that's where we are now.
He's just sitting there.
We still have unanswered things, but damn.
He's wild.
Fuck him dude.
He's wild, wild, wild, son of a bitch.
That is, that's one of the gnarliest ones we've ever done.
It truly was.
That's crazy.
And just the fact that he was living like it's always wild to me when they love a double life like that.
That's the thing.
Like fucking quadruple life if you look at him.
A full ass like million life.
Like I'm so crazy.
Million life.
I just I cannot handle him.
So that is the story of John Edward Robinson
and his reign of fucking terror
on his Aryan Kansas especially.
Day, yum.
Day, yum is right.
And definitely, I mean, go check out the Lisa Stasi effect.
Yeah, I wanna listen to that now.
I wanna, I'm gonna start checking this out
and I gotta, I wanna help out there, man.
Mm-hmm.
Anything, and if you know anything, you know, let her know.
Tell us.
So yeah, thanks for listening.
And we hope you keep it weird.
I don't even have the energy because my brain is still just circling.
None of this.
Bye.
Don't keep it at all this weird.
I feel like it all goes without Hey, Prime Members!
