Ep. 57 The Murder of Kelly Anne Bates

Welcome back to the Future is Bright? This week Lindsay tells Bridget about the awful murder of Kelly Ann Bates. This is a huge TRIGGER WARNING for a lot of gruesome and horrible thing that happened to 17 year old Kelly Ann Bates. She thought she was getting into a normal relationship but James "David" Patterson had other plans. Grab a support blanket or something when listening because this is a rough one.  P.S. we talk about the Gabby Petito case in this but recorded it prior to the new knowledge of her cause of death being released. Her cause of death was strangulation and she was dead for at least 3-4 weeks before being found.  FIB Podcast Check out our Instagram @fibpodcast.
