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

He called it the “bear cave.” He liked the sound of it. Bears were unassuming predators… that kind of sounded like him.Inside his “bear cave” there was a desk, an inviting yellow beanbag, and of course, it was filled with snacks and sodas.Don’t forget his hidden condom box, a stack of porn magazines, and pillows hidden in a box that said “Christmas decorations.”The only really odd thing about his “cave?” - it was in the library of a local middle school.The teacher had been using it to sexually molest and rape dozens of middle school students.Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The temperature was below zero, the winter storms were approaching, and Margaret hoped the nutrients from the pork bones would give her energy.She would need the energy for her cleaning job.She took her pork bones, which were neatly pre-sliced, she took them out, washed them, and plopped them into her water.It was almost muscle memory - but when she stuck her hand in again she felt something strange. She pulled out some bony pieces in the bag and it took her a moment to realize she was staring at 3 severed human fingers.Margaret didn’t have pork meat.
