Jonestown Massacre

From a young age, Jim Jones had his eyes set on becoming a preacher. At 24 he would accomplish that goal by opening the Peoples Temple church in Indianapolis. But, by the end of his life he lead over 900 people to their death in what is now known as the Jonestown Massacre. Before 9/11 the Jonestown Massacre was the largest loss of U.S. civilian lives from a non-natural disaster, and I caution anyone who decides to look up this case because the pictures alone will have you shaking.

On November 13, 2022, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves lost their lives in a tragic quadruple homicide. Xana, Ethan, Madison and Kaylee all attended the University of Idaho and had come back from a night out when their lives were taken. Much of this episode's facts and topics are coming from the Probable Cause Affidavit that was released last week. It is a statement made by Brett Payne, Corporal at the Moscow Police Department. CPL Payne is being assisted by the members of the Idaho State Police and the FBI. To be clear: There may be (and there probably is) more evidence in this case that is not in the affidavit. That is because the affidavit's purpose is not to outline everything that the police know. It is to satisfy the probable cause for arrest standard. Please be sure to keep up with the case as the investigation is ongoing and new facts are sure to emerge.

When officers receive two calls about the same murder, its a little weird. The fact that the second call was made only 2 minutes after the first, is strange. But when both men claim to have been in the house and both found the victim dead, it's just a little too coincidental for me. But, we know this for sure. Someone is definitely lying, someone is definitely getting locked up, and Helen is definitely going to say “who is this b****” to every suspect I mention.
