#144: The Lake Waco Murders (Case of David “Chili” Spence)

The heat was suffocating. She was stuck in her car with no AC in the middle of the Florida summer heat. That’s comparable to being slow-cooked in an oven.She wiped the sweat off her forehead and left a smear of dark pigment on her hand. She was sweating her disguise off.She had to look as natural as possible. Not suspicious. But how could she? She was doing blackface in her car, wearing a giant hoodie, shoes that were 5 sizes too big, and a gun resting on her passenger seat.Maybe she didn’t think this through. She thought it would be easy to kill  - especially, when you have the perfect disguise for it.(Book: “Kill For Me” - by M. William Phelps is the most extensive, thorough deep dive you will find on this case)Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The couple were in bed. The same one that they had slept in every single night for the past few years. Only, nothing about the day was normal. Jackie was inconsolable. She was sobbing, shaking, not understanding what was going on. Her husband, Tom, tried to comfort her. He told her everything was going to be alright. He was going to be with her. He tried to lean over and grab her hand so he could lovingly stroke it, giving her more reassurance. Only, nothing was going to be okay. They were tied up, thrown onto the bed, by an evil child star who was making plans to have them thrown overboard the yacht. Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
