Well, honestly the title pretty much covers it, but if you insist....

Bike Batman was just an average guy in Seattle who liked to ride bicycles. There was nothing about him that made you think he would be a vigilante who would face off against criminals armed with a smartphone, and the cops on speed dial. But you know, sometimes, the purpose just finds you. The guy showed no crime-fighting predilection, whatsoever—but sometimes…it's a calling, ya know? Some people were born to wear the cape.   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources: https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/biking/real-life-superhero-who-beats-cops-bike-thieves/ https://www.seattlebikeblog.com/2022/04/11/this-american-life-interviews-seattles-retired-bike-batman/#:~:text=Dirk%20deGroot%20made%20headlines%20a,retiring%20a%20few%20years%20back.   https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-wednesday-edition-1.3493952/meet-bike-batman-the-anonymous-hero-who-returns-stolen-bikes-to-the-citizens-of-seattle-1.3493960

On Friday, April 24, 2020 a passerby called 911 to report a dead body laying in a ditch by the side of the road near Noblesville, Indiana. There were no signs of trauma, no identification, no abandoned vehicles, no witnesses, and toxicology reports weren’t much help either... Until they decided to test the stomach contents of David Fouts, that they had a possible cause of death, apparently he'd last eaten bits of poisonous mushrooms. The fungus eventually led to the arrest of David Fouts’ wife, Katrina, and his father-in-law’s caretaker, Terry Hopkins. “The weirdest thing about this case is the mushrooms,” Lockhart said. “The murder was almost perfect. But there’s certain things you can’t get away from. They over thought it. They did stupid stuff in the end.”   This episode brought to you by SongFinch songfinch.com/creeper   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com

He appeared at her church. He was “funny, romantic, the most sensitive man I’ve ever met,” Wainscott said. “The guy that every girl would want.” Soon they were dating and eating dinner at Red Lobster and watching movies. He would bring toys for her kids. “Very engaging. Down to earth. Nice fellow,” their pastor said. But when a police officer approached her with a photograph she said “That’s John" (her presumed perfect man). Except he wasn’t. He was Jeffrey Manchester, an escaped convict who had been living for the last six months inside a nearby Toys R Us and Circuit City. But now he was on the run, and detectives needed her help!   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com
