Many morbid, many morbid, many morbid. Many morbid! Bad! That would be because it's Elena's episode. many, many, many, many, many more bad, many more bad, many more bad! That would be because it's a lane as episode.

It's my episode, guys. I just pictured you doing like a small dance. Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, and you took your top hat at the end. That's exactly what I did, like Mr. Peanut. Yeah. That's me. Mr. Peanut. So yeah, I mentioned on Twitter that my research for this one was nine pages long.

That's super casual of you. Very casual. Very casual. Okay, what is it? Alright, so I cut it down a bit. I took out some of the details that I felt were not pertinent. So now you're telling me it's eight and a half pages. Pretty much.

So sit tight, everybody. That's a full length mini. I'm like, I'm gonna be really scared. It's just a really, I don't, I hesitate to say it's a really good case because it's really bad. It's like sad and awful. Okay. But it's an interesting one. It held my attention. So this is the case of Chelsea Brooke. And this is the reason it like drew my attention was she went missing from a giant Halloween party. Oh, I love Halloween.

And it was like, I miss Halloween and fall right now. Like, my bones are aching and everything. And you feel me on this? Like, we are both in a state of a- I'm like hungry for Halloween. It like hurts my soul that it's not Halloween. So when I saw this, I was like, I gotta do it because it's gonna bring me to the Halloween vibes. Yeah, the Spook Spook vibes.

So this happened in 2014. So this one's relatively new. And it happened in Monroe County, Michigan. Michigan. You know Michigan. So Chelsea Brooke, she grew up in a town called Maybe. I want to live there. Pretty live maybe. Maybe. And it was actually nicknamed the best little town in Michigan. That's what they're saying. She went missing.

Pretty much. It's super tiny. It has less than 600 residents. Oh wow. Everyone knows each other. There are ton of farms that are all like acres apart, but everyone knows each other. Yeah. ton of farms that are all like acres apart, but everyone knows each other. Yeah. Because like generations have lived there. The farms mostly produce corn and soybeans. She was the youngest of five kids. She was described by those who knew her as super nice,

super friendly, just like very wholesome, like a sweet country girl. When she went missing, she was 22 years old. Okay, that's a whole diet. Guys, I'm 22, I am not. So, 22-year-old Chelsea and her friend Rebecca Becky Brinson, they knew each other because they worked together at a restaurant in Monroe County called Olga's Kitchen.

Olga's. Yeah, and they worked together there for a while. It was like years, so they knew each other. That's how me and my best friend met. There you go. Not at Olga's. No, not at and my best friend met. There you go. Not at all, Gilles. No, not at all, Gilles. No, no. No triangulation there. Now the two of them were super psyched because they were going to be going to a huge Halloween party. Oh, correct. On October 25th, 2014, which was a Saturday. Okay. This Halloween party was called Big Mike's Halloween Bash.

So this was a huge party. I mean, a huge party. Everyone knew about it. Everybody was gonna be going, I mean, people from like, at a state knew about it and we're coming in. I didn't know about it. I didn't either.

The fuck? What the fuck, Big Mike? Now, Big Mike, his actual name is Mike Williams So big Mike weirdly enough was not his given name this just keeps reminding me of the blind side Big line backer Michael or that's a good movie. No, it's not a Sandra Bullock in this case. Yes, crazy Sandy shows up He was so big Mike was well known. I'm just gonna call him big Mike He was a super metal dude Like he had the big long beard. Today. I've long hair. He didn't he just had a big long hair just the beard. All right, you know I know I've immediately pictured big like big big long hair

I have to like such a vision in my mind. Yeah, it's probably exactly what you think. I got a Google big Mike So he was super metal. He was actually part of a like metal band, which I think it was kind of like, it was called like, pickaxe, preacher or something like that. It was like some crazy, it was a crazy name. Five finger death punch. Exactly. He would play at the parties as well, his band. So this party was going to be held at Big Mike's mother's huge farm. I wonder how she felt about that. Apparently she was fine with it because he did this every year. Oh, this was a thing he did. It was annual. And so, I mean, this was acres of land, tons of fields. It was a crazy place to have a party. Becky and Chelsea decided that they were gonna go as Batman villains.

Amazing. Not sure what Becky went as, but Chelsea went as Poison Ivy. Cool. Now she actually made the costume herself, and she sewed it for like weeks. Respect. And it looked amazing.

Like all post photos of it on her Instagram, like we always do. It looks like a case of sad. It is. But she was super talented. Like it came out really good. Good for her. It was basically, it was a green leotard

that she had sewed like a million plastic ivy, like fake ivy leagues. Leaks. Ivy leaves. She sewed Harvard and Gail and Princeton all over the land. All over it. So she, it was like a billion, you know, plastic ivy leaves onto it. It also had green tites with it red Mary Jane style shoes from American Eagle and a plum colored wig

Okay, now at the party she also carried around a like a big old Jaguar that she had labeled poisons Savage, which is like that's amazing. It was a great costume savage like props to her But people said she didn't finish the Jaguar wine. So she wasn't like, you know, like fucked up. Yeah. She was just, people described her as tipsy. Which is a Halloween party. Yeah, she was walking around drinking her wine too.

She's having fun. She can do what she wants. Now, it was Chelsea Becky and their friend Penny Walkins that showed up together that night. OK. I've heard a couple of other things that say like a girl named Lori was with them, not sure though, so we're just gonna talk about Chelsea Becky and Penny. Got it. When they got to the party, Big Mike had set up two huge tents for the party in like the field. Sounds awesome again. It really does. He was expecting

like 300 people, but word spread in close to 800 plus people showed up 800 800 people why wasn't I invited but Nana's Bananas bonkers eight heavy metal bands played There was like Halloween Kachella pretty much. Wow. It's like a festival festival. It's like Halloween Kachella. It sounds awesome. Sure does. Like I was looking at this and I was like, whoa, I want to be there. I mean, I didn't this night, but it sounds awesome. Now, sometime closely after midnight, the bands stopped playing, so it just became like a hangout thing. And Big Mike lit like a big bonfire. It was like a nice hangout time. Well, the three friends, Becky Chelsea and Penny,

and we're walking over to the fire. Chelsea happened to bump her nose on like a low-hanging tent pole. Okay. It was like I think she was trying to duck under something and like didn't see it, and it just banged the bridge of her nose story of my fucking life. Right? And now, they made sure to say it was not bleeding.

Okay. It was not bleeding, but there was a mark. And Chelsea wanted to leave at that point, because she was like, my fucking nose hurts. I would leave. Well, that will give you a fucking head. But her friends convinced her to stay, and she was like, all right, I'll stay. Right.

Now, sometime around 1am, they all decided to call it a night. Penny had agreed to drive Chelsea home, like before the party. Like they had already made this agreement. They agreed to term it. Because Chelsea didn't have a driver's license. And not because she couldn't get one, she's just a mom. She never chose to get one.

And she would just kind of rely on people for rides and walk and like all that. That's very stressful. It is. I don't have a car right now. Let me tell you. But somehow it made it work. But they lost sight of each other at the bonfire.

Because there was 800 people there. Now apparently Penny's sister who was also there had to work the next morning and was like, yo, we have to leave. So Penny was like, okay, like we're just gonna leave. Not with flaming Penny, but people stop leaving your friends places. Come on, Penny.

Like that girl that went missing and her friends, like didn't, like she, they just left her at the bar. There's a lot of instances of that. Like, don't leave the Natalie colors. Case always bothered me, because I'm like, you guys are in a ruba. Yeah. You don't even know where you are

and you're letting her go off with the student. I don't care how hot he is. Don't do that. Well, and here, and again, we're not bullet victim blaming or anything or saying it's anyone's fault because these people obviously feel awful after that. Well, and again, we're not bullet victim blaming or anything you're saying it's anyone's fault because these people obviously feel awful after that. Oh my God, of course, that's all.

But I just, my philosophy with my friends personally has always been and will always be, I don't care how pissed off you are with me in the moment and you're gonna get pissed off with me probably. You're not leaving. We come together. We leave together. We leave together. And it's like that's how it goes. And that's how you have to be. According to Penny, she figured Chelsea knew a few other people at the party and she was like, she'll get a ride. I mean, what the fuck? Penny is

genuinely, oh, she's probably very broken up by this. So I don't want to hammer too hard on Penny, because she's hammering hard on herself. Yeah, no, I know. And I mean, it's got to be an awful thing to live with it. I can't imagine if you had given her a ride, which is another reason to always give your friend a ride. It's kind of your friend a ride. Because if not, they could die and be so-

Like, go find her. They'll feel bad, so. Yeah, just go find her. Again, if you think I'm being mean and victim blaming, I'm not, I understand that Penny is probably and is living with this awful regret, that hindsight is 2020. Now you guys may be wondering,

why didn't I just call each other's cell phone, like figure that out? It's 2014, was there? Was there, like no service there? There wasn't a ton of service there, but it was also that Chelsea's phone was with Becky because Becky was holding on to it because Chelsea didn't have anywhere to put the cell phone in her poison ivy costume. No, no, because it was so in a pocket. It was exactly. I know. Everything needs to have a pocket. Right?

That's why we all love pockets, but it was just a leotard and tight. So it's like where the hell could it have gone. So at this point, somehow Becky had lost Chelsea too. And was like, huh? So she just left with Penny. She left with Penny and fucking Chelsea's phone. Yeah. She calls this the biggest regret of her life. It's like, so they both just left her. I'm gonna go ahead and say it, and I don't care if we get a night about iTunes review. That shitty. Yeah, that is shitty. Right?

Yeah, that's all I'm gonna say. That's shitty. It's a shitty move. Don't two people leave one person out of party? Someone at the party later said they saw Chelsea alone in the dark and crying. It wasn't until later the next night that Chelsea sister sent Becky a Facebook message telling her that Chelsea had not come home at all. So Becky was like, oh, she's probably at a friend's house. Monday came, still no one had heard from her. So her family ended up calling the police,

they called her friends, and they ended up calling Big Mike, hoping to get some answers. When they talked to Big Mike, he said he was actually already getting all kinds of texts and Facebook messages and shit, asking if he had seen Chelsea, and he said at first, he didn't even know who they were talking about. He didn't know who Chelsea was. There was so many people at his party. People who know Chelsea were asking him, can you take a walk through your fields on the farm and just see if she like passed out somewhere

if she's, you know, something happened? If she's like, something happened. If she's like, something happened, if she's like, something happened, if she's like, something happened, if she's like, something happened, if she's like, something happened, if she's like, something happened,

if she's like, something happened, if she's like, something happened, if she's like, something happened, if she's like, something, if she's like, something, if she's like, something, so big Mike was like, okay, so he took his dog, and he went, he said he went a couple of miles into the fields and a couple of miles into their search, his dog got caught, his foot caught in a fox trap. Oh, no. And he heard his paw.

Oh. So he carried his pup back to his house to fix him up. And Chelsea's mom was there when he got back. Oh, wow. So he was like, yo, you can stay here by all means, but I have to run my dog to the vet. Well, that was nice of him to let her stay. But he was like, you can totally stay here.

I'll be back and I'll talk to you. Right. So when he got back, there were about 15 people searching around his farm and he was like, oh, this is serious. Like that's when he was like, oh, okay, like we're not just talking about some girl who might be staying somewhere else, you know. Right. So at this point, Chelsea's family was fully committed to the search. And they had set up a tent and it started setting up generators with porta-potties on the farm. Like they were staying at the farm. To literally just like make it their headquarters. Like they were like, oh no we're gonna find it.

And Big Mike was down. Well that's so big Mike was like, at first he was like, they didn't even ask me to do this. I just came back to my farm and this is happening. Yeah. But he was like, I understand they're worried. I'm not gonna, and he was like, and I also kind of felt like they were looking at me a little funny.

So he's like, so I didn't, he talked to his attorney. I wanted to comply. Yeah, and his attorney was like, you don't have to let them stay there, but it's up to you and he was like, I'm just gonna let him. I'm just gonna let him do. Yeah, he was like, you know what, they, why not?

So Monday evening, Chelsea's mom actually confronted Mike and accused him of having her somewhere. He was like, you have her. And you can you blame her? No, like she's not like where the fuck is not a daughter. I cannot blame her at all. And she was like, you do have her in your basement and a trailer somewhere like where is she?

So suspicion was placed totally on Mike at this point. Oh no. Now the meme of you have literally 800 people. Right. There are 800 suspects. He was like shit. Oh. So the media started picking up the story on Wednesday and they started arriving on my ex-farm too. Which was again a full

command post at this point. Mike didn't realize this wasn't just a hell of a hard thing. I bet he was like shit. I shouldn't have had to set mom's house. Is that all that's probably pissed? Yeah. When Chelsea's mom spoke to the media, she said, if she, there's like a clip of this, she said,

if she knew there was a going, she was attending a party with over 600 people, she said, quote, 22 or not, she would not have been going to this party if I knew. So Chelsea didn't let her mom know that she was going to. Did she still have that home? I'm sorry. She did, yeah.

Mom would be like, yup. She'd be like, hell no. That's hilarious. And she was the last sibling kid to be living at home. Yeah. Everything. So search parties started branching out from the farm into neighboring places.

Tons of volunteers were joining. Facebook groups were being made. I mean, tons of volunteers were joining, Facebook groups were being made. I mean thousands of people were involved. They were missing posters. In the media, we're asking people to be on the lookout specifically for the Poison Ivy costume. Because it's very, you know, obvious. Yeah. And for a 5'7 blonde girl of average builds with an anchor tattoo behind her right ear. There were vigils, there were tip lines, rewards were being like, I mean like they were going ham to find her. Now detectives Brian Schroka and Mike Pridmore, they are the main detectives on this case

throughout the entire thing. Okay. They started going to neighboring farms to connect searches, but the biggest issue that they were running into was the fact that this happened she went missing from a place with 800 people all dressed in costume. Oh my god. So getting like the perfect crime. It's a disguise It's like this is it really is So six people at the party talk to detectives and they all let, they all said that they let Chelsea use their cell phone for phone calls. How many people, I'm sorry?

Six people, okay. One of the people she called was Penny. She's like from one of these cell phones. She called Penny and Penny said she answered and Chelsea asked if she could come get her. She was like, can you please come get me and bring me home? And Penny was like, yeah, I can't drive, I'm drunk. Like I've been drinking too much. I can't drive.

Even though I already agreed to drive home. And she says that especially was like her biggest regret because she reached out a second time. Yeah, I would think so. And I'm like, oh, so other people, like I said, reported seeing her crying, saying she was cold, saying that her friends had left her and she didn't have a ride home. So she was like really in distress at this party being like, yeah, like she was abandoned by everybody. And there's left fucking 800 people there that she doesn't even know. You don't know all 800 people, you know? That's scary. And you're in a fucking field and the middle of nowhere. Like, of course, I'd be terrified. This is giving me anxiety for a second.

Where are you gonna go? Where are you gonna go? And the middle of nowhere like of course I'd be terrified. This is giving me anxiety for a second. Where are you gonna go? Where are you gonna go? What do you gonna ask Big Mike to say at his house? Like Jesus. So everything is kind of just stalling when it comes to leads at this point. But then a couple of days after the party, a woman called detectives and said her son said he saw Chelsea at 3.30 a.m. that night.

At the night of the party. Oh, okay. And he was sure it was her because he said they had talked about her costume and he remembered talking about his own allergy to poison ivy. Oh, that's hilarious. So he was like, that's just how I remember that that's how it went. Right. He said when he spoke to her, she was a little tipsy, but there was a man with her that they seemed like they knew each other. Okay.

And he was comforting her and speaking with her like they were friends. And she was like, and he said she was like frazzled and wanting to go home and like she said she couldn't find her friends. Okay. He described this lurker as tall, slender, swoopy emo hair, glasses, and they left his presence together. I wonder what he was dressed as. I don't know, actually, because I didn't say, I don't even know if he was dressed as anything.

Oh, that's how he knows a killer. Yeah. You don't dress up on Halloween, you're like, what do you do? He was able to give a great description of this dude, and so a sketch artist made a composite, and it was released immediately. Awesome.

Now, immediately they got bombarded with phone calls and tips because it kind of does look like every douchey email dude. Do you have ever met like everyone knows someone who looks like a douchey. Now a bunch of douchey emo dudes are going to leave us bad iTunes for me here. Sorry douchey emo dudes. Come on. Now big mic contacted police at this point himself because he knew the dude. And he said that a couple of members of the bands that

Came from Milwaukee that played at the party did kind of resemble that sketch He was like there's a few members that kind of look like him that's hilarious That it wasn't just one yeah like he's like I can't even put him on the base player the drummer and the lead literally all Like that and so he was like maybe you should go talk to those dudes. So the FBI contacted them and they all had allies and they checked out. Great. So on to the next. Do you want to do? Now even after this tip that Big Mike gave everyone including Chelsea's family and the police thought he knew that it was like, you still know more like you're involved in some way. So they brought him in officially for questioning. They then asked for, while they were questioning him

and he like gave, he was cooperating, he was telling him what he knew, they then asked for consent to search his house. Okay, and he said no. Okay. So they showed up with a whole SWAT team and a search warrant. And he let them in, because he has to. They searched his home and they looked in all the fire pits that were around because they were like, what's in these? They came up with nothing. Okay. They still considered him a main person of interest though. Yeah. Because they're like just because they said no. Yeah. And just because we didn't find anything in this sweep. So detective Pridmore got a tip called into the station after they

had already searched Big Mike's home. Another tip got called in about a guy named Harlan Bird. Sounds like a douchey. Harlan Bird. The tip said that he might have information about Chelsea or where to find her. Okay. So they called him in immediately for an interview. Pried more interview them. And Bird said he did go to the party that night with his best friend. He witnessed two men harassing a woman in the parking area. He said they were shoving her around

and like assaulting her. She was crying. She was crying and yelling for help. So he intervened and he helped the woman off the ground. He says that woman was Chelsea Brown. Oh my God. He described her to a T according to detectives and he said he even got a little bit of her blood on his shirt from this because she like put her face on his shoulder. Okay. So he said he was nervous someone would come and think he did this to her when he was like comforting her right So he had her sit in a red four-door car that was open

Uh-huh, and he said he was gonna go into the party and go find someone that knows her and like bring them out to be like You need to help her, but he was like you stay here. I'm gonna go find someone never gonna get Don't split up. He also said he didn't know who the car belonged to. It was just open and it was there. So he just put her in there. He went back to the party, tried to find someone, couldn't find anyone. And actually, I have a clip of his interview right here that I'm gonna play. Hold on.

I don't know how I feel about this harlan yet. Story seems a little too convenient. Just looking for a... You don't try to find a 15 minutes walk back to the car and her. So you went back out to the park and I had a vehicle that you put her in. What's going on? So what he's saying is he went into the party, who looked for someone, couldn't find anyone. So he came back out and where he left her, she was gone.

And the car was gone and she was gone. That's what he say. So convenient. Exactly. Harlan. So they went back to the blood he said he got on his shirt from saving her. He said it was a hero, right?

Harlan. Such a hero. He said it was a tiny dab on his shoulder. And when pressed about whether he still had that shirt, he said he does still have the shirt, and he said, but his girlfriend, Slash fiance, was probably washing it. Oh, convenient. And then he said, if it's been washed, can you still get the blood evidence from it?

And they were like, no. And he was like, oh, bomber. Wish I could have. Bummer. But I don't, because I killed her. Well, and it seemed weird, because he claimed she had a bloody nose. And then said he didn't see a bloody nose, but that he assumed she had a bloody nose

because of what he got on his shirt. And also, if she had a bloody nose, I feel like it would have been a little more than a speck of blood on his shoulder. Exactly. The detectives were suspecting him, because like they were starting to be like, ah, what's going on? Harlan, your your story's dumb because this hero's story was real convenient as a way to be like, whoops

I had her blood on me like you know, yeah And I'm also like really like at this party like two guys were just like shoving her back and forth Like well, so he denied doing any harm to her at all because they pray they were like, did you harm that girl? Did you take that girl? He said no way no way no way It was starting to become a little more inconsistent as they were like, did you harm that girl? Did you take that girl? He said, no way, no way, no way. It was starting to become a little more inconsistent as they were pressing him.

And that's when the big confession came. That's when they asked, did you actually even see Chelsea at all? And he admitted that he made the whole story up to look good. Dude, what the fuck is wrong? First of all, I got tricked because I thought he didn't see that coming. Also, fuck you, Harlan because you just curved off an entire investigation. Exactly.

They just wasted all this time, all this energy, and what is wrong with you? What? First of all, what is wrong with you? Second of all, you clearly are a narcissist. What is wrong with you? You just use this awful story of this missing 22 year old to look good. I hope his fiance dumped him, right?

She's got a fuck. I just, so, uh, Dushie Emo Harlan. So they were like, great. So they just had to move on. So a week after her disappearance, there was a huge prayer vigil with her family, still clinging to the hope that she was gonna return home. Okay.

Her mom even said to the camera's quote, it's not a hope, it's a reality. Oh. The headquarters for the search was moved from Big Mike's farm finally to a vacant bank. Okay. So they can like set all the stuff up. Flyers, posters, purple ribbons, which were her favorite color. We're posted everywhere. I mean, they were going ham. The end of the year came no sign of her. But then suddenly a woman from Toledo contacted police and said her ex-boyfriend had confessed to her that he had killed Chelsea. Her name was Kerry Carr and detectives brought her in right away. Was this an ex-girlfriend or a current girlfriend? She said her ex-boyfriend

confessed to her when they were together. I'm She said her ex-boyfriend confessed to her. When they were together, I'm assuming. And then she broke up with him immediately. And I was like, no. She said her ex told her that he was at the party. He left with Chelsea. He ended up killing her and dumping her body in a Toledo cemetery.

So she also said he threatened to kill her too. Like if she told her to anyone. So detective said she was very scared of her ex and was insistent that he be arrested. But she kept saying she didn't want him questioned and then released. She was worried about him being released after being questioned. Which is understandable. So they interview the ex-boyfriend. And without detectives even saying that it was Carrie who told them all of this, the ex-boyfriend said that they had problems for a while

and that he believed this was literally just her ploy to get him arrested. So they brought her back in and after a long interview again, she admitted she was lying. She was just trying to get back at her ex. There needs, like, is there a fine for that? So Carrie got arrested just like Harlan. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Now her property was 2.3 miles away from the party.

Okay. Cheryl said she was cleaning up some of the winter debris off the side of the road along the tree line on her property. She ended up finding a red, flat leather Mary Jane type shoe from American Eagle. Okay. She said she initially just threw it in the trash bag

that she takes all the other shit in, but then she remembered. Well, she went home. When her husband got home, he asked, he literally was like, oh, what'd you find this year? You know, like he likes to see like the hall. And she mentioned the shoe. Her husband was the one to go, wait, do you think that could belong to that girl? Right. Because she didn't even put tattoo together, but he did. And she ended up calling the police and they came to get the shoe. Okay. The next day, Detective Stroka sent a photo

of the shoe to Chelsea's mom. She said that is definitely her shoe. Like I know it. They searched all around the area where the shoe was found, they found nothing else relating to Chelsea. Okay. So now they're like, what the fuck, we just have a shoe. So at this point, they're like,

it doesn't look good for finding her in good condition. And it's interesting that it was just one shoe. Just one shoe, it's like how did it even end up there? Where is she? It's not like she like took over shoes because they heard and kept that way. Yeah, it's just one shoe. Yeah.

So then, a little while later, a guy named Erica Sabe and his friend were out trying to make some money stealing and selling pieces of like scrap metal and abandoned buildings. Yeah, whatever. You know. They were in a half-collapsed abandoned building 10 miles away from the party location when Eric found something weird. He initially thought it was just a plant, but when he looked closer, he realized it was the costume that Chelsea was wearing. Next to the costume was a plum wig, the same one she was wearing that night. Okay. So he found her costume. Yes. Thing is, Eric and his friend just thought it was a random costume because they weren't following the case. They just didn't think about it. Yeah, they weren't.

And so they just left it where it was. He said he picked it up and was like, oh, that's weird. And then just put it back where it was. Because he was like, I don't know what that's about. was like, oh, that's weird. And then just put it back where, right? Because he was like, I don't know what that's about. So then a week later, Eric saw the missing person's poster with the costume on it. And he was like, oh, shit.

But he got nervous because he had picked the costume up. Right. And he was like, shit, I don't want to be a little bit hot. I don't want to be a little bit hot. Like, what the fuck do I do here? So he said he talked to his sister and she was like, listen. I have to say something. If you don't report it, I'm reporting it. Yeah. And I was like, what the fuck do I do here? So he said he talked to his sister and she was like, listen. I have to say something.

If you don't report it, I'm reporting it. Yeah. And I was like, good sister. And she was like, and then you'll look even worse, bitch. So it's good, good sister. Yeah. So when detectives got the costume, because they went, he did call.

They came and got it. I don't blame him for being nervous. I would have blamed him if he didn't call him. I get it. I mean, I get why he was nervous, because you just don't know. So when they got to the costume They saw that it had been ripped at the straps and at the crotch. Oh, it was a leotard

It was sent to the state crime lab while police and investigators searched the building and surrounding area all day and night They also brought Eric into the station to interview him. Mm-hmm. That must be so terrifying If you like find something related to a case. I have nothing to do with this, I'm just trying to help. I'm just in a real, I was in an unlucky place. The fact that he waited a week between finding a thing, it didn't look good for him. He said he didn't go to that party. He was not at that party. Okay. But he admitted that his baby's mother lived on the same road that that she was found on So he was like I just don't want you guys to find all connections Right I'm hiding things because they told that she had seen that the shoe was found right and I think it was on

I forget what road it was it was like post-road or war roads and like that and he said my my baby's mother or warroads and stuff like that. And he said, my baby's mother lived on that route. So you know, like I'm being totally honest, you know everything. Yeah. And he said the night that Chelsea went missing, he was at home with his daughter. And he said he would happily give his DNA. Oh, so he did. He gave his DNA.

Okay. Now things are looking fine for Eric. Like the police were like, we're not really concerned. Right. I'm not either yet. But then something weird happened. What happened? The abandoned building where the costume and wig were found was less,

no, was less than a hundred yards from Harlan Bird's house. Less than a hundred yards was where the abandoned building that the costume was found in. Harlan. So the, I, I, I, he like felt so in. Harlan. So the hero guy. I knew I felt so strong about Harlan. The hero guy. In fact, he lived in a mobile home directly across the street from this building.

So detectives were like, yeah. Harlan. So they called him back in. Remember that time when we arrested you were going to do it again. Remember that? Are you having deja vu, Harlan? This time he came in with an attorney. Yeah, a bet he did.

Now he denied it. Again, he denied everything. He admitted that he had been to that abandoned building before. But he said someone must be trying to frame him. Totally. Yeah. He said he never saw Chelsea that night of the party.

He said, I made everything up. I'm telling you, I made the whole thing up. I don't think so anymore. He got super nervous, but he agreed to take a polygraph and give his DNA sample. Okay. He passed the polygraph. Some other fuckers just that stupid and unlucky? Yeah. So that's the end of the Harlan road. Well, no, not yet. I was going to say, if you bring up this Harlan one more time. So he passed the polygraph though. And he gave his DNA. You could pass a polygraph?

You can. That's why they were like, we're not totally. So April 24th, 2015, about seven miles from the party at Big Mike's house. A man named John Marcon was driving his dump truck into a construction site because he needed some fill for his property. Okay. Now this construction site was like on his property and he was building a home for his family. He was literally like in the process so he was just getting some shit. The soil was super wet and muddy so the truck got stuck so he said he got out and he went to the back of the truck to

just see what was going on back there and he goes and I noticed something on the edge of the property. It was a dead body. Oh no I knew that's where we were headed. So he actually he was actually on the phone with his wife when he saw it and he was like, uh, got a call you back on. So detectives the crime lab and investigators were swarmed to the scene because he called it anonymially. Mm-hmm. The body was skeletal for the most part because this was almost a year later. Yeah, this was a lot, not almost a year, but Because it was in October she went missing. This was April Okay, they were still like six months. Yeah, so it was mostly skeletal at this point

But there was some skin remaining on the chest hands and legs There was also still long blonde hair attached to the skull. I really hate the visual. You just Yeah, sorry about it so skull. I really hate the visual. You just were able to think so much. There were small logs and branches deliberately partially covering the body up. What really made him see it seemed like it was Chelsea was the discovery of one single artificial Ivy leaf near the body. Detectives immediately informed the family that they had found a body because they didn't want the media who was showing up at this point to be the way they found out.

We don't know if it's Chelsea, but we why you to know we didn't find a body. And by the way, the man who found the remains, John Marcon, he was never considered a suspect to anybody. He was just like this, just was there. I didn't touch it. I'm not doing anywhere near it. The following day a forensic anthropologist was called in And dental records confirmed that it was indeed 22-year-old Chelsea Brock. Oh, that's really sad. So now they know there's a killer. I knew that was gonna like I knew she unfortunately, but I wanted to believe that It was gonna be a happy ending. I know I was was holding out hope for a while, and then it was like, whoosh, crushing blow.

Luckily, they were able to snag some male DNA off the leotard. If there was male DNA and her DNA. Okay. They took this DNA and they entered it into codis. No hit was happening. They ran it through codis, nothing was hitting. So there was no hit yet,

but when they compared it to Eric and Harlan's DNA samples, they both give. It cleared them both. Wow. It cleared Harlan. Wow. Yeah. And obviously, Eric.

Harlan's just dumb and unlucky. He really is. That's wild. That's wild. Right? This is when detectives went back to all the people that they had talked to at the party before. And they collected DNA from whoever they could, because they were like, now we have DNA.

Yeah. They were one they really wanted was Big Mike's DNA. He wouldn't give it. Because they wanted to clear that. But he refused to give the DNA to him. I thought Big Mike was going to be a nice guy. Well, according to him, he didn't want his DNA in some database because he wasn't a criminal, which I get. I do get that, but like, yeah. Like, it makes him look guilty. But like, I understand the reasoning that he's like,

I don't want to be in a database because I'm not a criminal. His whole thing was he said he wanted to move on from the whole thing and stop being accused of everything, which he could have just given DNA and cleared himself, but like, again, I also get it. Now, a month later, it took a while for the ME report to come out and they told everybody that. They were like, we're not gonna have any information

about her cause of death for like a month. Okay. Just because she was very so skeletal. So skeletal. A month later, the ME office said that they did have a cause of death for Chelsea. Blunt forced trauma to the face and head. Oh the face.

They said there were severe facial injuries sustained to everywhere on her skull. When she was discovered the detective said they could immediately see a break in her jaw. Oh wow. She had severe fractures to her jaw, nose, and specifically her eye sockets. They said there was a lot of fractures of her eye sockets. That's horrible. She had received a brutal beating, leading to her death. And the detectives kept this secret the whole time.

They did not release this to the public. Okay. So this is just the medical examiner. It's the report that comes to the detectives. Okay. Meanwhile, Chelsea's family had to have a private funeral for their child. Did they tell them how she died?

No. Okay, good. Then in September, the man who found Chelsea's body initially, John Marcon, called the sheriff's office again. He said he was excavating his property because remember, he's building a house. And he found a red shoe that matched the one they already had. So detectives went out to collect it and also started moving dirt around and searching

more in the area. They found the green tights that you wore that area. Do you happen to know how far John's house was from the woman's house who found the shoe? Originally. I don't. The woman who found the shoe was only 2.3 miles away from the from Mike's house yeah okay I actually think John was like seven miles I just wonder if she like was like super um smart and like through like her like got rid of her shoe to build a yeah a path I

don't know because unfortunately the whole thing is kind of horrific. Yeah. In June 2016, police released images to the media of a white man with a mustache from the Halloween party. They had received a tip early on in the investigation about this guy who showed up at a house at 3 a.m. on War Road where Chelsea's shoe was found. So that's where the first shoe was found. He was pounding on, so this dude with the mustache, the people are saying, was pounding on this random dude's door

at 3 a.m. asking to stay there because he said he was coming from the party. I'd be like, oh no. This guy was like, no, get the fuck out of here. Also was your mustache real. But this guy ended up falling asleep on his porch for a little while and then pieced. He left a vest behind and then the vest was a pocket knife and some rope. Oh that's not normal. So the guy showed back up

wanting his vest and the homeowner gave it to him and he left. He's lucky he didn't call the police. If somebody fell asleep on my fucking right, it should be like, hello cops. Well they looked through videos from the party and they found a lot of footage of this dude with that vest on. With the rope and the shit in it. Interesting. Now once the photos were released, the guy they were talking about showed up at his mustache.

No. No. He showed up at the station. He was like, hey, I'm that guy. Hey, it me. He looked like the original sketch that they had compiled. Oh, goodie.

So they were like, oh, wait a second, like you're coming. Hey buddy, take a seat. He told police he was super drunk at the party and didn't remember a lot. He was like, I don't remember anything. This is like fucking clue. So they got his DNA and they scheduled a polygraph. Uh-huh. But on the day it was supposed to happen, the polygraph test, the crime lab came back and said, Hey, so we got DNA that matches the male DNA found on Chelsea's ripped leotard. Kodas who initially said no, no match, they ran it again and boom. Somebody who just got arrested showed up in that database.

It was not the mustache. It was a front door. So it is not Harlan, it is not Eric, it is not this must-stash dude. But this DNA belong to none of the men they had spoken to the entire investigation, including Big Mike. Okay. Big Mike was not this guy's DNA. I was really rooting for Big Mike. I was too the entire time. I really was. Because it just seemed like Big Mike was like, I just want to be involved in this. I just want to do an epic party This DNA that they found on the bloody and rippedably a TARD

belong to Daniel Clay Okay 27-year-old Daniel Clay is a random dude that didn't have a permanent address and just kind of float it around But he was from Monroe County and currently lived there. He was unemployed and just like a piece of shit. Awesome. He had been arrested half a dozen times on things like assault and battery, credit card fraud, stealing.

Oh, he literally sucks. He's a piece of shit. Now in May 2016, he had been arrested for stealing a backpack full of tattoo equipment from someone and was charged with larceny. Wow. This is how his DNA ended up in the system. Okay. So a month before all of a sudden boom his he got arrested. Right. If he didn't get arrested for that, he would have probably never found his DNA. Right. So this dumbass steals a backpack and gets himself

God. I'm glad he did. Now before his arrest, there was an Indian, this is even crazier, before his arrest, there was an Indian Allah that said DNA was only collected from convicted felons. But then it changed right before his arrest to include anyone simply arrested for a felony. So there's a lot of weird, yeah, right? There's a lot of weird moving parts that just worked. Chelsea was working. She was. When they went to find him in July 2016, he was homeless and had two warrants out for him for unpaid child support. Oh, what a fucking loser.

He has two children and he had two warrants out for no. He was not paying for jobs. Yeah, go fuck himself. So that statement made no sense. Go fuck himself. So when they went to arrest him, they planned to arrest him for the warrants and not initially mentioned the murder. Tricky tricky. They're very tricky. They were really good. They're like these trick or treat. Yeah. Oh, it's trick. Yes. So they watched the mobile home he was staying in that

belong to his new girlfriend Kelly Richter I think her name was poor girl. So police banged on the door for a while before and he nobody was answering Uh-huh before and then he went tearing out of the back door and was promptly taken down by police who were fucking waiting for him back there Was he like trying to run? He was trying to remember. Oh, okay. His girlfriend's friend was actually showering in the home at the time. And she said he barged into the bathroom and said, like, I'm going to prison. I'm not answering that door, like flipping out. And she's like, yeah, can she was like, go away. What's happening? Like, I'm just trying to suds. Kelly, his girlfriend arrived home later and gave police permission to search home. Okay, good. She was like, Kelly, Kelly was very cooperative. She was very cooperative with the police. Police found Chelsea's

undergarments, jewelry and some of her personal items in that hall. He kept trophies. Yeah, because he sucked. That fucking piece of shit. So they interview him and they start inching in questions about the Halloween party. All that good stuff. He denied knowing Chelsea. He said he didn't see her, he didn't know her. All that good stuff. And you got her undergarments. Well, he also made sure to tell detectives that he was a lover of women and he was a real ladies man. Okay. Yeah. Is that why you don't pay your child support?

Exactly. And actually, I'm gonna just share a quick clip of his interview because it just shows what an absolute dick-wad he is. Honestly, don't even want to hear a stupid voice. I love like, she did a 7 years ago. I love, I love, she keeps in love. That's my motto. Like, I don't like why you were there. Like, violence, I don't like, I just like, I'm totally nuts at this. Well, I was like, I was like, I'm so mean about sex. Wow, really.

That's the... Dude, that is my exact reaction. He's in love. Really? He said, I don't like violence. That's interesting. I would have said, then why were you arrested for assaulting battery and fucking hate?

Exactly. Exactly. So this guy is smoke weed and have sex? Like, no, he's just a dick. It's like, that's why I had to play that because he just sounds like such a complete asshole Why does the world full of such schmucks right so After a while they revealed the DNA thing

They're like hey buddy. What's going on here? Mm-hmm and Daniel admitted oh He did have sex with Chelsea that night. Yeah, I bet it. But he said it was consensually. No, it wasn't. In his car. And he assumed, so the reason he's telling them this, because all of a sudden he comes out and he's, oh, I did have sex with her. Oh, that one, I know her.

Because he's a dumbass. And he's assuming that the DNA they found on her leotard was semen. So he immediately went to, oh, yep, we had sex because you totally found semen, right? Oh, but it wasn't semen. Funny thing is, after he admitted that they told him, it was actually skin cell DNA, but they found in the costume that had been violently torn at the straps and the crotch. Now to get him talking, Pridmore told him that Chelsea had... now this is brilliant. Pridmore literally straight-up wide and it came up with

this. I don't know how he came up with this. What did he say? He told him he goes, hey, dude, like I don't... you probably didn't know this. We didn't know this. Chelsea's mom told us she had this weird condition called brittle bone disease. And suddenly Daniel was like, oh yeah, then his story changed to say that he saw Chelsea walking down the road after the party. They had sex again, but this time she wanted him to be rough and hit and strangle her. And he said he choked her and she went limp, but he said it must have been that damn brittle bone disease because he didn't choke her that hard So all of a sudden he's saying oh yeah total yeah I did talk to him is brilliant and this dude

The interview is amazing because as soon as he says this he's like oh, I've heard that yep I've broken my hand before brittle bones. I get it. It's not a thing brittle bone disease I don't it's probably not called brittle bone disease but like I was just gonna say it's called osteoporosis but he this guy's like yeah totally and then he's like you know what I did choke and punch her a little bit but it was that it was that brittle bone disease she wanted it yeah yeah but it was brittle bone disease you fucking loser that he said he then attempted CPR and he said, oh yeah, I definitely hit her on the chest to try to save her.

I love him. Yeah. Then he freaked out, put her in the back of the car and he said he didn't know what to do. He didn't want to take her to the hospital because, uh, I don't know. That would be the normal thing to do. Right. And then he just found himself driving. So he said he got to the area she was found, hit her under some branches and such, and he said he had no idea how her costume

and costume ended up in the abin, the check. 10 miles away. Right. Unfortunately, they never get the real story from that. A mother. This is fucker. This is the story he sticks to, that it's consensual sex.

She wanted it rough. He accidentally choked her, and that was it. But that guy made that up about the little, little bone disease. Exactly. But he was just like, so they know that he, yeah. And there's many other things that point to clearly not an accident. He was arrested. And what's crazy is Chelsea's friend Becky, who she worked with at the restaurant,

was actually told about this arrest by another coworker, Jessica, who was one of Daniel Clay's baby mamas. No. That's just a weird like connected. Seven degrees. Now Daniel Clay pled not guilty because his story was, it was accidental.

He did not murder her. I saw that. It was accidental. God. He said he choked her for 20 to 30 seconds and boom, she was dead. Yeah, that doesn't happen. The Emmy said, no, like I don't think so. She said there was not enough left of Chelsea to determine whether she was asphyxiate or not because of the advanced state of DECOM that her body was in when she was found. But she was insanely beaten. But the Emmy also said that,

well, this is just a disguise and idiot because he's like, yeah, it's true, it took her for 20, 30 seconds and then she died. That doesn't happen. The Emmy said, killing someone via strangulation is not, quote, a 10, 20 or even 30 second process.

She said, in order for death to occur, quote, constant pressure has to be applied to a person's neck for 20 to 30 seconds for them to initially lose consciousness. Then after they knock out, constant pressure needs to be maintained on the neck of the subconscious person for another two to three minutes at least for death to happen. Right. Right.

So no, that didn't happen. The other thing that sealed his fate is he claimed she removed the poison ivy costume herself and they had she was Renate everywhere and it was now again like you like we were saying it was torn on the strap straps and the crotch She wouldn't have been able to tear it herself and she never would have she worked on it for fucking weeks And was super proud of that costume. There's no way she would have torn it apart Then they turned to the costume inside out for the jury to see that there was a significant amount of blood on the inside of that costume.

Because she was beaten so badly. Yeah. Which means that not only did she receive a much greater injury than choking, but she was still wearing the costume when that happened because it blood all over the inside of it. Oh my God. So him saying they were having sex, she was naked. She took off her costume herself. I choked her. She died. That did not. No. Then how did all of these blood stains get all over the

inside of her? That's horrifying. Oh my god. Now during this whole ordeal, Chelsea's sexual history was laid out and dissected for everyone to see in the court. That's horrible. Because they were saying the defense was like, well, we need to see if, like, maybe she does like rough sex. So let's see, the defense tried to do this, but the judge put a stop to it. Yeah, I'm fucking glad. And the judge was a man. So good on him. Yeah, I don't even care if he was an alien. But like her friends and family were asked about, asked about her sexual preferences in court. And her family was sitting there the whole time. That's disgusting. Like like parents had to sit there and listen

to this fucker make that excuse. Yeah, like your 22 year old child was brutally murdered and sexually assaulted. Yeah. Has this guy claiming this awful story? And now you have to sit there and listen to them be like, well did she like it, Ron? Yeah, like the them be like, well, did she like it, Ralph? Yeah, like the defense is like, well,

it's her fault, but she died. Yeah, because she liked it. Because she liked it, like, are you kidding me right now? Daniel actually took the stand in his own defense and stuck with that whoops, I killed her story. Now May 16th, 2017, the jury found him, now just listen first, because at first you're gonna be like, are you fucking kidding me? The jury found him not just listen first second because at first you're gonna be like are you fucking kidding me?

The jury found him not guilty of first degree murder But there was a second charge for killing Chelsea while sexually assaulting her which was felony murder They found him guilty of that. Okay, so that was the charge that includes you not only killed her You killed her while sexually assaulting her. Okay, so it's better than first-degree. Yeah, it's like essentially it carries the same weight. It's just now they're adding on while you're sexually assaulting her. And he was also found guilty of concealing a dead body. Good. Now I just am going to play a quick clip of what the judge said

because the judge was great. It did not hold anything back. And did not hold anything back. Once very clear to me, Mr. Clay, you're a liar, a rapist, and a killer. This is sentence of this court in the U.B. sentence to a life in prison without the possibility of parole. That judge is a savage. I love that he was just like, you're a liar, you're a rapist, and a killer. Like fuck off. That's what you are Yeah, you are not this like good Samaritan that had sex with this girl tried to save her and that's like whoops That that's what makes me mad as he was like I'm the victim like I had to be faced with this challenge of

What should I do because she liked rough sex and I went too far and on the stand He even said he goes when it happened I sobbed I had never been in that, he even said he goes, when it happened, I sobbed. I had never been in that situation before. What was I supposed? He made it literally like, I was so emotional. I hope in prison that somebody beats him to the verge of death and then stops everybody else to be due. Every single day. Because his due to such a

douche rocket. Oh my God. Now, like that judge said, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He actually appealed it in January of this year. You're shitting me. But the sentence was luckily upheld. Yeah, the judge was like, hey, by the way, go fuck yourself. Now, just to like add as a last note, just to put the icing on the cake.

Nail in his coffin. Oh, we're two to many different people. He was saying we're really out. That was like a perfect. I'm like the cake, you're two different people. He was saying we really are. That was like a perfect cake. You're like the coffin. That was actually perfect. That was great. Sorry.

He during this trial, he was also having to go. He went through another trial because he was found to have sexually assaulted another woman before Chelsea. Oh, no. And he was tried and convicted for that one. That's good. So just to put it in there, that this wasn't a one time like,

oh shit, this happened, he did it before. Right. And the detectives both said, if we didn't get his DNA, he would have died to death. I had to get him. He would have, and he was like, I believe he would have murdered someone else.

And I feel like he would have been a serial killer too, because he liked to keep the things of the victim. We're dead. That's a serial killer thing to do. And I didn't find a lot about that, like, afterwards, like what they, that's sick. That must have been brought up in court. It had to have been, because why would you,

like, why would you want to remind her of this horrific thing that you went through where you accidentally killed her and you were so distraught? Exactly. You kept her things? And her mother during the victim impact statements at the end, she sat there, and she was like one table away from, like literally he was right there, and she said that she forgives him because she said, if I don't forgive you and I just try to forget you, then it makes it that like Chelsea didn't exist and that her life didn't mean anything.

And she was like, I have to forgive you so that I can move on with my life. And then she handed him a Bible. And she said, I hope that this like saves you. And he took the Bible and was like, and there's like a video of it. And he's like, I will take this like saves you. And he took the Bible and was like, in this like a video of it, and he's like, I will take this and I will read it and I am so sorry for what I put you.

Like he acted like he's a real good actor. I hope she put a hex on the Bible. I know I kind of hope she, I feel like I hope she didn't, because I feel like that's really bad, Ju-ju. That's, that's some kind of Ju-ju. I don't know what I don't know. I don't know.

Don't put a hex on the Bible. Yeah, don't do that. I take it back. I take it back. I take it back. So yeah, so that is what a what a big person twist that right to forgive him.
