Six Shocking Stories - Death By Ornamental Frog

so finally his parents took him to the emergency room. Yeah, I think this story is a little bit irresponsible. I don't know where this person was treated, but for especially for a child that has constipation and is just not pooping and also is vomiting, that's a clear tell sign that something is terribly wrong. And I don't know why what doctor would ever give constipation medicine in that situation.

But what happened was they did imaging and stuff, and they discovered that he had something stuck inside of his bells, and they said that they monitored him even longer to see I don't I absolutely don't know why, but whatever the case is, they finally decided to open them up to look inside to see what was in his intestines, and they found that there was this really hard kind of mass. Definitely it was some kind of foreign body within his intestines. And Maria, you want to tell them

what it was? A doll head, Yes, like like a Barbie doll head actually in his in his little intestines. So what is he just swallow it and then the whole and then it just makes its way all the way down and gets stuff. Yeah, so point somehow he swallowed it whole. It didn't look like it. It looked like like crazy Barbie or what's that one called weird Barbie. The hair is cut off, you know. So yeah, but this is the telltale sign for any parent that's listening,

or physicians, anything like this. And it's especially you could even say it about animals too, right, or just like a younger person or even a person that just can't communicate properly what happened. Anytime things aren't coming out of the butt and they're coming out of the mouth, it means that something stuck. So every time this boy was eating, it would come right back up because it had nowhere to go, and he wasn't pooping because it wasn't getting

past the barbie doll head. So once he was done his final meals, you know, before he got that thing stuck, it's not that's why nothing's coming out. So it's not really that he's constipated. It's just that there's no more poop left because it's all not going through his gi track. I mean, so this could have been really bad, right, yeah, oh yeah, this could have been really bad. And when you look at the photos, so what what was this one called in the grosser room. This one's called headstuck. Okay,

so it's called headstuck. So when you look at the photos in the grosser room, the small intestine, it's the lining of it looks so thinned out and stretched out over this barbie doll head that you could actually see the barbie doll head kind of through the boll. It's it's crazy. So think about that that, Like, it's so it's so see through and so thin that if that ruptured,

I mean, he could have died from that. And that's why it's just weird to me to think that any single doctor would have heard a child was vomiting for daism, wasn't pooping and didn't think this was an emergency situation at first. Yeah, that is really weird, but like, luckily he survived in this case, so yeah, that's good. And don't forget guys. Now that we have our newsletter that comes out every week, you can sign up. I link

it in the description of every episode. We're gonna link every story we talk about, so you guys could easily find them in the grosser room. Yeah, because the stories are outrageous. But then you have to see the pictures too to get the full picture of really how outrageous it is. Well, especially some pictures coming up later in the episode though, oh my god, absolutely have to see. All right, this next story is called Big Dead. So this forty two year old woman was found dead at

the bottom of her staircase. It appeared to be an accident, but of course you have to look into it. I mean this immediately just reminded me of the infamous true crime case, the Staircase, and how they you know, they couldn't determine how the woman Kathleen Peterson had really died. They were like, did she fall? Did somebody push her? There was even this theory floating around that an owl grabbed her head and ripped these giants. That was the

most outrageous one. There's a bunch of ol theorists out there, but I don't think anybody could have thought of this one. We actually didn't. We do like a two part death dissection on that case and went through every plausible scenario.

I don't even remember it because I didn't watch the documentary like you did, and we wrote about that's like a year or two ago, but I remember that I went through every single one and was like, this is why it couldn't have happened, this is what probably happened, and things like that. Oh yeah, so no, So for this case, they're, you know, they have to look into what happened and what did they see at her autopsy.

So they do the autopsy, and the first thing that anybody assumes is like, okay, a woman's found that at the bottom of the steps, so that that's what we're kind of thinking happened here, right, The story makes sense everything,

And she does have a gash on her head. She has like a laceration on her head with some bruising, and they open her up and she has a mild a brain bleed, but it kind of wasn't enough that it would have killed her probably, so they're just kind of looking around like okay, So on the external exam when they were looking at her, they noticed that she had these pinpoint particual hemorrhages inside of her eyes, which

are very specific to asphyxial deaths. So if you get choked or smothered or something like that and it but you don't have to see them in those deaths, but they're unusual and you might have had them sometimes, especially if you've ever thrown up or vomited. You ever see you get those little red dots on your face like

broken blood vessel things. Yeah, so there are particular hemorrhages, and they happened because it's really when somebody is having a hard time breathing but they're still trying to make breaths and the pressure that goes on causes the little tiny capillaries at the end of the veins to kind of break open and like break a blood vessel basically, but they're you probably wouldn't see something like that if

she just fell and hit her head. So it just alarmed the person that was doing the autopsy, and so they're doing the autopsy they take out all her organ stuff, and they open up her throat where it's just her larynx, right, and that's kind of your Adam's apple area or your voice box, all of that, and they open it up, and they were shocked what they found lodged inside of there, because there shouldn't be anything in there. What did they find in there? A giant wad of gum. Yeah, a

giant wad of chewing gum. So they they determined that her cause of death, her manner of death was accidental, but her cause of death was from asphyxia, not from the fall. And they think that what happened was she was walking down the steps and she fell, and so the fall made her knock over, but she was grasping for breath, and that the chewing gum got lodged in her throat like as she fell. Oh my god, Like

talk about a freak accident. And how much like how often are you just like walking around just chewing gum like the amy all the time? Our family or really our whole family's super into chewing gum all the time, and I certainly will just keep layering it together. And now I'm like, how dangerous is this? You know what

I just was thinking about post. I don't remember what it is that I wrote in the gross room fairly recently as well, with a similar situation that there was a car accident and when they did the autopsy, the person had a giant wat of gum lodged in their throat as well, and they were wondering if there's all these different scenarios, like was he choking on the gum and then he crashed the car? Did he crash the car and it got stuck while he crashed, Like what

caused the thing to cause the crash? You know what I mean? So I don't remember what that one was called, but it happens. You hear about it sometimes. Yeah, it's just really disturbing. I mean we're talking about this all the time, Like how at the Midor Museum they used to have a drawer full of stuff, like especially women and me in particular. I was putting my embroidery needles in my mouth a lot while I was relooping, and then I was like, this is really dangerous. That has

to stop doing. I was just doing it this weekend. I was hanging up basket like hooks out on my porch. So I could do the hanging baskets, and I'm standing on the ladder and it's like I have a drill in one hand and my hand's holding the ladder in the other hand, and I have a screw in my mouth. And the whole time I just kept thinking like, oh my god, I'm gonna fall off this ladder and like this,

this screw is going to go down my throat right now. Yeah, and you can't end up being one of our own stories. I know it is my It is my biggest fear to be embarrassed by something like that. Yeah, all right, so let's get onto this next. One years ago, this thirty five year old woman from Kansas was at her boyfriend's house and went into the bathroom. He noticed that she was in there for a little while, but eventually she came out, so he didn't think too much in it.

And then over time he noticed every time the girlfriend went in the bathroom, she would stay in there a little longer each time. Eventually she got to the point where she wouldn't leave the bathroom at all, but more specifically the toilet. Yeah, so it's it's this is such a crazy story. So I guess that she had this history of sexual abuse as a child, and she felt that that was like her safe space, so she wanted

to stay in there all the time. And he thought, I mean, at first, he said, he thought it was a little unusual, but she always felt more comfortable to be in there. And then he just said, over the months and years, it just it became normal to him too, that she wanted to be in there all the time. Yeah, And they said basically like life resumed as normal, Like he would go in there and they would have their

normal conversations. He would bring her food in there. She at some point was bathing and changing her clothes, but I think that just seemed to stop as well. And then, you know, it just went on so long and got so severe that eventually he had to call the police. And what did they find when they got there. Oh my god. So the paramedics showed up and she was her She was sitting on the toilet and her legs appeared atrophy. And that's what happens if you don't use

your muscles, they just become smaller and weaker. You could tell when people haven't been walking for quite some time, and they were literally not able to get her off of the toilet seat. She was stuck to the toilet seat because her skin and soft tissue started growing around the seat. I don't even like when we first read this story, it just seemed so made up to me, like,

how does that even happen? Well, if you think about this, there's a lot of cases, especially where you have people that are wearing wedding rings that are too tight for an extended period of time to years and stuff, and then their skin grows over the entire wedding ring. Because that's not insane, No, it is. I actually, I just there's a ton of pictures of it, and I just thought, like, I never even posted any of this in the grocerroom, so I'll do that this week too. But it just

looks really crazy. It It looks like sometimes it looks like someone glued a rhinestone on someone's hand because the rest of it is embedded in their skin underneath. Because

it's from the chronic irritation. And when you're sitting on the toilet, you're putting pressure on your skin and your bones of your pelvis, and you can create pressure sores just like you would get if you were bed ridden, right, And that's why it's so important, especially when people are in eldercare, or people that just are handicapped and not able to move and they're bed ridden, or they are mostly bed ridden and they already can't get up by themselves,

it's important that they always have somebody to make sure they're getting up because you could get really bad ulceryations and those can become infectious. I mean, just think about like if you have a really bloody scab and you put a bandage or on or something like, it sticks to it, right. Yeah, So it's just a combination of all that, like the chronic irritation from having that foreign thing stuck to your skin for such a long time.

And I guess if she was sitting there and just had someone bringing her meals and she could go to the bathroom right there, Like, I guess it's possible. It just seems so outrageous. So the paramedics had to cut the toilet seat off and bring her to the hospital with the toilet seats still attached to her. I don't know the extent of what it really was that was sticking.

Did she just have a sowre that had a lot of scabs that was like dried up, bloody crust stuck to it, or was it that her skin was actually starting to grow around the farign object. I'm not sure. It's just really sad, you know that she mentally is even going through this, and to the point where her significant other also thinks turns into normal behavior, you know. So, I mean, in the articles I've read, it seems like a lot of people were like kind of blaming the

boyfriend for this happening. But I don't know, what do you think about it? I don't know, because like I read something that there was questions of whether he should have criminal charges or not. And I don't necessarily agree with that. I just I don't know. And he made the statement that she was a grown adult and she chose to do that. I guess they I definitely think that they should look into it because this is a

very weird situation. Yeah, I mean, and he said that he would try to talk her every day into leaving, and she would say maybe tomorrow. And I think, I mean, two years is a really long time for this to go on. But I think there's this fear of you know, this is happening in your house and you're trying to address it within your own family and not let it get out, and then it just starts getting worse and worse and worse, and you don't know what to do.

And then maybe he was scared that she would be admitted to the some type of facility or something like. You just don't know what's going through people's heads when they don't take care of stuff. Do you imagine if you found out that that was like your next door neighbor and there was a person that was sitting glued to their toilet, like no, I mean, I really go outageous.

It's so crazy how people live. Sometimes you just think that, like this is this went on in a person's life, but can you can you only blame him though, because nobody else in her life was like where is she? Other people? I mean maybe she maybe she just if she didn't go to work and stuff didn't Someone of her neighbors were interviewed and said, like they knew her when she was a child, but they haven't seen her in years, Like it's just like everybody's checked out. Like

if you just, I mean think about this. I was thinking about this, this guy that lives behind us, right, yeah, he used to I used to see him all the time. He had a dog and he was walking his dog around, right, and I said, Hi, what's up whatever, I haven't seen that dude in years. Like I just assumed, Oh, I guess he died. I don't know, he's older, right. But then like one of my neighbors was like, no, I think like his dog died and he's just old and he doesn't walk around anymore. And I'm like, oh, I

don't know, Like I don't. I don't because they live like behind us. I don't talk to people back there. I just used to stay hi if he was walking by, you know. But like that's the thing, like people like I'm worried about my own life over here. I'm not like trying to monitor all of the people in my neighborhood and what they're doing and shit. You know, like, well there's quite a bit of neighborhood busybodies where I live.

So I'm sure if something weird was going on, they would tell everybody about it, because you know, everybody's business. My immediate block is like that, Like it's just kind of like one of your is one of your is one of your light bulbs out or something, But you know that that's that's all good because I like that actually, but as you know, all these peripheral people, you're just kind of like you can't pay attention to what people

are doing. So this also proves my point that pedophiles should go to jail or have the same charges as murderers be because think about this, even though this action happened to her when she was a little kid, she clearly has lifelong damage from it. Oh yeah, yeah, and I don't think a lot of people look at the psychological effects long term of people that go through things like that. Yeah, it's it's terribly sad. The whole story is terribly sad. No, it really is. This episode is

brought to you by the Gross Room. So most of the stories that we share on let me say this slowly, six shocking stories. We totally made the worst name ever for this because it's impossible to say it's straight, but we cover most of them here on this podcast. So you can go to the Grossroom and see all of these cases that we talk about because these stories are outrageous,

but the pictures that go along with them are also outrageous. Yeah, you guys can visit the Grossroom Dot com for more info and to sign up for only five ninety nine for the month. Okay, this next one is definitely worth looking in the gross room at the pictures because it's pretty unbelievable. It's called permanent boner. I don't think you're gonna see where this one's going. All right, So do you want why don't you get started with this guy's history?

All right? So he's a fifty two year old male. He had penile cancer and that required an amputation of the head of his penis. So after removing the cancer, the next phase of the treatment was having penile reconstruction. So can you explain how that typically works? So he's went once he got the head of his penis amputated, he actually got a little bit more than the head amputated. There was only three centimeters left, about one inch, so

he just had a little stump there. But with that stump, he has his urethras still there, so he's still able to go to the bathroom normally. Right. So what they have to do is create a penis, and sometimes they'll take tissue from either the leg or the arm and they'll make they'll make a penis out of that and then they'll reattach it to his penile stump, and they have to let that heel for about a year before they put in a penile implant, which would give him

the ability to have erections and have sex again. And obviously, like you've already been through a lot of trauma, you had diagnosed with cancers, terrible, having to get your penis cut off as terrible. You know, sometimes you were in a relationship with somebody, so it's terrible for them too. So just to have to wait all that time in between surgeries, it can be a lot for a person. So they decided that they were going to take an extreme measure to try to shorten the time of this procedure.

So tell them what they did. So they decided they were going to amputate his middle finger and use that to create a new penis for him. Yeah, so this guy seriously got his middle finger amputated off his hand, on his non dominant hand, by the way, and they were able to take skin from that finger and make a fake urethra. And then they were able to take skin from his arm, which is called a radial flap.

It's like right from your forearm there. So they took the bone from his finger, the fake urethra they made with the skin, and then they wrapped it up with his skin from his forearm and created a penis. They attached it to his penile stump, and you will not believe. Within twelve days he was urinating out of this stump, and within a month he was having sex with it. I mean, that's absolutely crazy. I mean, I think this is really innovative, right, I mean, could this work for everybody?

Or no? Or you have to be willing to lose a finger. I don't know, because I was thinking, God, I've never heard this, and then I saw that they followed him for ten years and he had no complications. And it's really crazy because they did an X ray and he has a bone in his penis, multiple bones from his finger. It looks like there's a finger in his penis, which a normal human doesn't have bones in their penis. So it seemed I mean, listen, like cutting

off your finger is pretty extreme. Yeah, you know what I mean. But I'm just saying, it's like maybe it's

just frowned upon like that. I don't know that, you know what I mean, Like that would be a hard decision for someone to make especially because I mean, in theory, he's got this stump of a penis, so he may have some sensation to it, but I don't even think so, because of having the surgery from the cancer and everything like that whole entire thing is is more than likely done for his partner just to be able to physically up sex because he's not getting anything out of that

as far as that stimulation's concerned. I mean, I guess you could do like anal stimulation at the same time and everything, but like it's just not the same for him as it was, is what I'm trying to say. So I have a question for you. So how are they How are they determining the middle finger is the best one to go? Is that theoretically I guess one, Well,

that's what I was gonna ask. Is that like a length or is it theoretically just the best finger to lose if you were gonna choose because it's the least debilitating. I don't. I think it probably is because when you look at his hand after the surgery, you're kind of like it's almost like you got to do a double

take and be like, wait, is there one missing? Let me count all these, it's just like not as obvious and it probably you know when you want to grip things and stuff you would need like your pinky and your and your thumb. Like it's just it's probably like the least noticed one and bonus, it's the longest, so like, why not get a long one if you're going to get a new one? Right? Can I also say side note,

the word flap is so disgusting. Yeah, it really is disgusting, but it's it's this thing is just it's really I think it's kind of cool. The only thing is is that that now that he has a bone in his penis, he has a permanent boner, you know, like it's yeah, it that's why that's why I made the title that, like, and that could be uncomfortable because that would look big under his pain and things like that. Like that's just

something to consider. But it looks it looks great. They show the pictures of what it looks like after it's healed, and a lot of it because he already had with the stump and he was able to urinate like that. It's just more like how a woman would urinate, you know. Yeah, and it's a lot of this is just for self esteem purposes, because that's like a lot for a guy to lose his penis. Sometimes it's everything to them, you know, I mean medically. I think it's a really cool achievement

that the doctors were able to do that. It is. It is an unusual story for sure. Yeah, all right, This next one is called a fish out of water, so an another outrage is this one's so nuts. When when I read this to Ricky last night, he said, never going fishing again. So I guess you guys can see if you're gonna make that choice too. A middle aged man was out fishing one day, totally normal activity

for most middle aged man, I'd say. So as he starts relling in this fishy cot, it jumped off the hook and went right in his mouth, he starts started freaking out so bad trying to get it out. But somehow the fish made its way down his throat. Yeah, the fish was trying to swim away as fast as it can down his throat, and it was pretty successful. And I mean, think of think about this, like he was freaking out and trying to pull it out of

his mouth. But a fish is like slimy and wiggly, and that like the fish don't want to be there either. You know, it's not like this is a mutual agreement. The fish doesn't want to be there, the guy doesn't want the fish there. Fish are hard to grab with your bears, Yeah, and he couldn't. He couldn't get it, and the thing just try was trying to get further away from him and just kept like squeezing itself down the hole, which is known to be his esophagus. Because

when he's crazy, it's so crazy. Because when he got to the hospital, the doctors said they heard like flapping when the guy opened his mouth. They heard the fish like moving inside of his throat, but when they looked in his mouth and his throat, they couldn't see the fish at all. So it was that far down that they couldn't see it, just doing a normal like ah, stick out your tongue and look like that's insane, right, yeah.

They So then they're going down his throat trying to grab this fish out by its tail, but then pieces of it start breaking off, Like how horrible is so the fish is still alive this whole time, And they put a scope down there to get further down, and they got forceps and we're trying to pull it out, but the fish was like lodged in there, and they yes, they were pulling pieces of its towel out while the thing was still alive and like flowling all over the place. Right. Yeah.

So then obviously because they're like ripping parts of its body off, it eventually dies in his throat. This is like absolute nightmarage situation. Yeah, so they they so when they were like, we can't get it out, they did an x ray. I don't even know why they just didn't X ray and they show, oh, here's the fish's vertubral column in the picture, and you're like, yeah, I think we're all we all know the fish is there, right,

this is not shocked. But they said that they noticed that there was air surrounding the esophagus, which means that there's possibly like a hole, which is which is a huge problem. They they said they couldn't really handle that situation at that hospital, so they transferred them and when they went, they transferred them to another hospital and the same exact thing happened. They were like trying to pull

it out and they couldn't get it out. So finally they were like, okay, we need to do surgery and take this thing out. And when they examined them and they found this thing that was lodged in his larynx and his esophagus, it was the lining was all torn up because of the sharp like the sharpness of the fins of the fish, like it wedged itself in there, and the fins like cut itself along the way, and it was like kind of stuck and embedded in the

lining of his esophagus and larynx. Yeah, and this thing wasn't like a small little minnow or anything. It was eleven centimeters long, climbing perch. Yes, it was, you know, relatively, it's a smaller fish obviously when larger ones exist. But that's like four inches. That's a huge fish. Yeah, I mean,

yeah fish. And he's probably just like pissed off too, because like a fisherman that catches an eleven centimeter fish is kind of like that's one they would just throw back in, right, Like, it's not it's not anything you could do anything with, right, It's it's it's so nuts. The whole story is so nuts. So they show a picture of what this fish looked like when they took it out, and you're looking at it, like, what the

hell did these doctors do? They like, they almost stripped all of the meat off of the bone of this fish trying to get it out. They show it in comparison to an intact fish that like what they just were like, Oh, this is what this fish normally looks like it and and listen, the guy was pretty fine, Like he had a little tear in his esophagus. He stayed in the hospital for a week and it healed

and he was released and physically he was fine. How was he breathing like during this thing, Well, he wasn't, And that's why they were trying to They were really trying to get it out because they heard at first that he was seemed like he was breathing kind of okay, But the further down the thing was getting it was like they were getting concerned that he was going to die.

But it was in his esophagus, not in his trachea, right, Yeah, So the larynx kind of is this central thing in your neck that splits, so you know, when you eat, the food goes down the esophagus and the air goes down the trachia. So it was stuck up and there but it was mostly going into the esophagus, because if it was going the other way, he would have been dead. Yeah, but it luckily it went into his food pipe instead. Wow.

But it got stuck because it was too big. It was too big to fit through, you know what I mean? Even though kids could swallow Barbie doll heads, apparently a whole I don't know this guy, how don he even swallow the doll head hole? I cannot understand this? Was it a bar It was a Barbie doll head, like it wasn't a pollypocket. That was like a small head

or something. To me, no, because I could see it inside the intestines, and I know what side see intestines are, and a child of that age, it's a Barbie head. I don't know if it's exactly Barbie brand, but it's a head of a doll like a Barbie. Children aren't even supposed to eat whole grapes, Like, how are they getting down hole dollheads? I don't know. Would you even be mad at your kid? I'd be like, yo, I'm kind of impressed that you did that. I don't when

it kids seven's kind of old to do that. Oh my god, can you imagine you're like, okay, seven, can you imagine the doll hair feeling in your throat? Now that? Oh my god, that whole thing sounds horrible to me. I mean this, this fishing story is pure freak accident. Oh my god. I wonder if he goes fishing anymore after this, dude, that would just be like there was a time period of probably I would say at least like an hour, if not more, that this thing was.

Which this is a whole other side note, like how does an animal that has gills live for so long? If you took a goldfish out of the tank, that thing would die fast. I don't know. Do you think the moisture his body was like helping? I don't know. It's so weird. Well, do you know the story of Pop, your grandfather Pop, not your dad Pop? When he was fishing once on a boat a bluefish. He caught a bluefish and I got off the hook and it took a chunk out of his leg. Oh yeah, I did

remember that. But that that makes sense because it's like a bigger fish, not the bluefish that you said fell out of the sky to a car. That happened. That's what are you talking about it really happened, all right? Kick up? All right, Well let's get on to some one was driving and a bluefish fell in the car. Where did they come from? It probably came from like a bird of prey that was carrying it out of the water or something. I don't know. All right, let's

get into our last talking story of the week. In Wales in twenty fifteen, this older woman died of brain cancer. So she was known around town as kind of this odd ball, and most people thought that she was a liar or just made up stories. I mean, I think we all know older women that just, you know, kind of sit there and just totally make shit up and

you're like, all right, granny like. So one really weird thing to note was she was always talking about this medical skeleton that she had wrapped in plastics stored under the potting table in the community garden. So that doesn't seem weird at all, right, this is what I'm saying. Like, when I was reading this, I'm just like, how does everybody around you? Like? I maybe I shouldn't even say this out loud because I'm literally sitting right next to

a medical skeleton about two feet away. From me at your desk right now. But like it's not hidden in bags like underneath of a table at a community garden. It just makes sense for my purposes to be here, Like why is everybody just like, oh yeah, she just carries around a medical skeleton, like and we just store

it in this garden. Well, they already thought she was like this kooky old lady, and they apparently, like the friends were making jokes with her about it, and then she was like, you never know, it could be a real person, and they were just like okay, blah blah blah. So about a month after she died, one of her neighbors thought it would be funny to play a prank on one of the other neighbors and put the skeleton

on their porch. So two of the two of the neighbors go and get the skeleton and start cutting through what is forty one layers of plastic bags. And as they're cutting through it, this thick liquid starts seeping out and they realize, oh shit, this is a real person. It's so gross. It probably smelled so much. I was thinking,

so disgusting. And how long did they figure out? Like how long that body was wrapped up like that, I mean approximately twenty years so they were saying, So they were saying that because of the obviously they had to call the cops and everything. And then when the cops got there, they were saying, the way it was wrapped in the bags like kind of like mummified the body

and made it decompose really weird. So they weren't exactly able to figure out when this person had died, but they could tell they died from blunt force trauma, which later came out to be from an ornamental frog, which I don't know. That's amazing because one of my best friend's moms like collects those stupid things, these frogs. It's like, okay, it's a thing with older people. Okay, Because when we were in Douchhore and we went to that yard sale at that house, is that what it was like earth?

It was a state sale. When we went there, did you notice that there was a whole entire room with like little figurines of frogs, like thousands of them. No, I see them a lot at estate sales. I think they were a really big thing in like the seventies

or early eighties. Yes, So our friend's mom is obsessed with them like that, and I took a video and sent them and then we just saw them at a house yesterday too, right, like, oh yeah, I did this point one out sie yesterday And that was before we knew we were gonna talk about this, Like what what is it with that? Like, I don't know, But apparently apparently this lady killed her husband with this ornamental frog, and they they think he died around nineteen ninety seven

because that's like the last time anyone saw him. And when people had asked her where he was, she said he left her for another woman. Yeah, which is kind of amazing that you could just say, like, oh, some people in the neighborhood be like, where's Cape been. I haven't said, oh, he left me for another woman. Me, Molly's like in my basement for years, like just nobody asked any questions. Wasn't even at her basement though, he was literally in the garden, in the garden. Wait, it

gets worse. This is not this is not it. She had an even darker pass than we know about. So the two of them had five children together that they abandoned in the late sixties and then assumed new identities.

So this all went down in Australia and then fifteen years later they reunited with the kids and the kids were trying to give it a shot, but we're obviously like, I don't think I could forgive you for this because the kids weren't between I think two years old and eleven years old when they abandoned them, so like older that they met them with. They like left them at an adoption or a nursery or something. They were like, see it, so yeah late, Like listen, when you see

a picture of this lady, you would believe it. She just looks like she's a little rough around the edges. Yeah. So after that they then left and then went to Wales, and the kids have said she is a total conniving bitch and they could totally see that she killed their dad and he was just so in love with her that he went along with anything she said. I'm impressed that he was able she was able to kill him

with the frog. Yeah, I mean me too. Apparently when they started looking into this murder, I mean, she obviously was dead after they figured all of this out, but she apparently had admitted to killing him when it happened to her friend and her friend just didn't believe her. It's interesting because the way that the body was preserved, and I'm not sure that she like I'm not sure what she she was doing, if she was intentionally trying

to make him skeletonized or whatever. Like, it's just interesting because because it was so wrapped up, there was no way for there to be any kind of insect activity and and like yeah, eventually all the tissues would mammify if it was all sealed up and there was no air around and stuff. It's just kind of like really interesting. See. I can't really let go of this lady just having a medical skeleton, even if it was a Halloween skeleton in the garden. Nobody's like what the fuck is up

with this thing? They're just like, oh, that's so and so that'ston Yeah, Yeah, that's it. That's what's weird. Like why would she have that and why would it be there? It's just so bizarre. It is so weird. But I don't know that this story was truly weird. You have a shocking story, don't you. You said something happened to you on Friday? Oh my god, yeah, this is so great.

So something happened to me and I did I told I said to Maria, she said it happened, and I said, oh, I'll have to wait to tell you on the show because it's good. So Gabe and I went to Gab and I went to pick up the kids from school and he has he has a black pickup truck and I got out and then I got Lucea and then I was walking towards the car and another mom stopped me and I was talking and I was like bent over for like five minutes, like looking in her car.

And then I got up and then went to the car that was parked right next to her car, which was a black pickup truck. And I opened the door and there was like a dog sitting on the front seat, like a Yorky and I was like, what the fuck? And then I was like, oh my god, I got in the rock car again. I gave what right in front. He was just looking at me like what the fuck are you doing right now? I was like, it's just say again, same as that truck. This is not my fault.

This is it is your yea, listen guy, go like we're going to some firefighter award ceremony thing in a couple of weeks right. And every time we go to things like that, we pull up and there's like twenty five black pickup trucks in the parking lot. Right, everybody is the same as that car. You didn't even notice before you open the door there is a dog. No, no, because it was tanted out and his windows are black too, And it was the same as that brand and color

of my husband's truck. Drive. It's not the same. No. But then I was like, oh my god, what if the dog jumped out? It was so good. And he's like staring at me in the rear room mirror the whole time, like not even trying to stop me. I again, and then he's he keeps trying to tell me like so of course that car goes to our school. So now every single day he's like, oh, you don't want to get in that car, like whatever. The person didn't see you open their car door, like nothing, I don't know,

nothing happened. I just like played it cool. I was just like, oh wrong, cop. I would feed seriously, thank god the dog was there, because I I don't know that right away I would have noticed. I mean, I feel like it's like a newer model of his car. So I opened it and I was like, wait, why is this look so luxurious? Why is there a dog here? The first sign wasn't why is the dog? It was wice is the interior interior nicer? Yeah, it's like, oh

this is nice. This only happens to you, all right. Well, if you guys have a shock you guys have shocking story, Stop you're gonna mess up my mess era. Please submit to stories at motherdose deep dot.
