When Cheryl Bradshaw appeared on the popular game show The Dating Game in 1978, she was charmed by bachelor number one, Rodney Alcala, and by the end of the episode, she'd chosen him to take her on a date. However, just minutes after the episode finished taping, Cheryl met bachelor number two in person backstage and was immediately uncomfortable and quickly contacted producers of the show to cancel the date. What Bradshaw didn't know at the time was that, in doing so, she had narrowly avoided spending an evening in the company of one of America's most notorious serial killers.At the time of his appearance on The Dating Game in 1978, Alcala was a convicted sexual predator who had served time for sexual assault and had only avoided a charge of attempted murder on a technicality.

(note: time stamps are without ads so may be off a little) This week Beth and Wendy discuss the case of John Floyd Thomas Jr., an American serial killer convicted of the murders of seven women in the Los Angeles area during the 70s and 80s. He is also suspected of committing many, many more. We dive into the setting (9:10), the killer's early life and the timeline (21:14).  Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (38:04), "Where are they now?", followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (46:12).   As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs (54:13).  Thanks for listening! This is a weekly podcast and new episodes drop every Thursday, so until next time... look alive guys, it's crazy out there!

We were. Wearing out Microsoft Teams and zoom in just.  Like everybody else.  Before we get into clubs, take us back about 10 months or so.  When everything started, all this craziness hit. In the what you guys want to do 'cause it's been some it's been some weird time.  Yeah, yeah it was. It still is. You know this is still an issue in especially in California and and I think one of the things I'm most proud about is is we worked really hard to true all of this. Yeah, we're trying to run a business, but we're also first and foremost trying to keep people safe and our priorities all along has been the health and safety of. The of the team and.  And then the quality of what would we continue to produce and and then productivity?  But yeah, when when the governor issued that first stay at home order back in March, it was.  It was. Use some unique is the first time we've ever faced anything like that, we close the factory. You know that half our folks work in the factory and the other half out here work on everything else. You know, sales and marketing in the R&D team and the planners and then. But the factory was closed for about two months and when we opened back up, we had you.  Know this has started to pick up and they put you know considerably, and so that was a real challenge.  You know? Trying to run the factory and keeping people safe and but we we worked through it made it very clear what the rules were and and and so again, I'm really, really proud of that part of the business and then the other part was just how seamlessly the team transition to working remotely.  You know, we we we, I've told the story a couple times this week but we actually finished.  The TSI driver design during the shutdown isn't working with the new material in that driver is called ATI 425 and.  Limited use of it.  And it's in the face, and face designs are pretty comp.  Created and just highly iterative process and and obviously you want to get it as as as fast as you can and still conforming and all that stuff and so we weren't done and so had to finish it.  We had to finish it remotely, which was really an amazing process and and.  Hats off to RIT team.  For getting everybody in April.  But anyway, it was.  It was really cool actually to see people come together like that and stay focused.  And really it was some of our best work.  Ironically, because the product came out fantastically well, so it was.  It's been wild from the shut down to the surge in the second half.  You know where where business was, you know was better than we thought.  Just there's just.  It's been an amazing and amazing here.  Yeah, the silver lining you coming together when you physically can't come together and pull the whole thing off.  That's that's amazing.  When we talk with Steve, it's always new clubs.  An odd number of years.

Welcome Nerdlings!  Today's episode is a dark one.  This is part two and our final part in the series exploring the murders of three young girls who were brutally raped and murdered in the woods of Oklahoma during a girl scout retreat back on June 13th 1977.  Maybe one day we will be able to do a Part 3 if there is ever any resolution to this yet unsolved case.

Welcome Nerdlings!  Today's episode is a dark one.  This is part one of our two part series exploring the murders of three young girls who were brutally raped and murdered in the woods of Oklahoma during a girl scout retreat back on June 13th 1977.  This is still an unsolved case so we wanted to make sure to give the case it's full dues as it's a heartbreaking one so we decided the best way to do that would be to have this as a two parter.  We wanted to make time to discuss who each girl was and show just how heinous this crime was/is.  We will release Part two next Sunday 10/18/20.

In 2006, Christine Pelisek broke the case of a terrifying serial killer who went unchecked in Los Angeles for decades. Two years later, in her cover article for L.A. Weekly, Christine dubbed him "The Grim Sleeper" for his long break between murders. The killer preyed on a community devastated by crime and drugs and left behind a trail of bodies--all women of color, all murdered in a similar fashion, and all discarded in the alleys of South Central. The case of the Grim Sleeper is unforgettably singular. But it also tells a wider story: about homicide investigations and police-community relations in areas beset by poverty and gang violence; about how a serial killer could roam free for two decades in part due to society’s lack of concern for his chosen victims; and about the persistence of those women's families and the detectives who refused to let the case go cold.No one knows this story better than Pelisek, the reporter who followed it for more than ten years. Based on extensive interviews, reportage, and information never released to the public, The Grim Sleeper captures the long, bumpy road to justice in one of the most startling true crime stories of our generation. Christine Pelisek is an award-winning investigative reporter who has been covering crime for almost fifteen years. She is currently the crime reporter for People Magazine, and previously worked at LA Weekly; she has also covered national stories for The Daily Beast and 20/20.
