Listen to The Sixth Bureau on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello and welcome to my favorite murder. The mini-sode. I saw your eyes search your brain real quick. Hey, is anyone in there? I asked and echoed and echoed. Hey, it's Monday. It's Monday and we're recording some mini-sodes just for you. That's right. Okay, my first email. The subject line is the drunkest, dumbest bank heist in Nova Scotia history. You love it. And then in parentheses, it says, featuring my great uncle Freckles. Fucking amazing. Are you ready? Hi, Karen, Georgia, and the entire Exactly Right Universe. I always appreciate hearing Canadian tales on MFM. And since Karen actually knows Nova Scotia exists and shared the tale of the explosion, I have a lesser known piece of crime lore from my home province. It's 1932. Oh, my God. What? The name of this town is out of control. But then they gave the phonetic. It scared the shit out of me. I'm really sorry. It scared the shit out of me, too. It's 1932 in Shubenacaddy. Wow. In Shubenacaddy, Nova Scotia. Shubenacaddy. Shubenacaddy, Nova Scotia. No, they made that up just to get you to say that. In Shubenacaddy, Nova Scotia. Do you want to go to Shubenacaddy to go to the Dairy Queen? I can't tonight. I have to go to Shubenacaddy. Because the Tim Hortons in Shubenacaddy. It is my favorite Tim Hortons. Okay. So it says it's 1932 in Shubenac, Dino, Scotia, which is honestly the most intimidating part of this story, which is the pronunciation. My great uncle Gerald Freckleton. Is this whole thing a scam? Yeah. Known to friends and apparently the police, as Freckles, decides to rob a bank. Why? Because his brother-in-law, Sidney Refuse, got fired from the Royal Bank of Canada for financial irregularities. irregularities. Instead of reflecting on his poor decisions, he says, let's rob the bank that fired me. And Freckles says, sure, why not? I mean, we're here in Shubenactony. There's nothing else to do. Kicking it. They recruit a getaway driver named Edson Boutillier, a small-time crook on parole. So an unsuccessful small-time crook. This was their plan. And in parentheses, it says, I'm being generous. Refuse would pretend to sell insurance, stay in the bank after closing, forcing the manager to unlock the door to let him out. Except Freckles and Edson would rush in, tie everyone up, and grab the cash and the bank's ledgers to, quote, negotiate a pardon. Freckles and Edson would escape and burn the getaway car. Don't worry, it's insured. And because this plan wasn't unhinged enough to escape, they would change into women's clothing to throw off the police. And then in parentheses it says, because, of course, law enforcement would see two drunk soot-covered men in dresses and crooked wigs and say, ah, yes, to completely unrelated women who definitely did not set a car on fire. Shockingly, this plan falls apart even before it starts. After initially agreeing to the crime, Edson panics about going back to prison and decides to tell the Halifax police everything. Oh, come on. Just leave. You don't have to be a snitch. You don't have to snitch. But he was panicking. The police say, great, go through with it anyway. They give him a car and an unloaded gun, in parentheses, safety first. And they tell him they will stop them in the car on the way to the robbery, find the weapon, and arrest them on criminal intent. The police, however, do not do that. Freckles and Edson travel together, drinking on the way, so Sidney could go alone and fill his role of victim. As they are busy drinking and driving and not being stopped by the police, Edson tries to avoid committing the crime by driving into a ditch. Oh, my God. So they're going along. He's pretending he's going to go. Yeah. But no one's stopping them, so he's panicking. Yeah. So he drives into another ditch. Another farmer pulls them out. In doing a good deed, the farmers of Nova Scotia are unwittingly helping these criminal masterminds reach their destination. However, the Halifax police, now accompanied by the RCMP, weren't trying to stop the robbery. They want the publicity of catching the robbers in the act. They are hiding inside the bank. five grown men in a broom closet waiting waiting for a long time all in that one broom closet finally freckles and edson stumble into the bank drunk enough to miss the entire village on their first pass and the police immediately open fire oh freckles is killed instantly jesus turned quickly yeah edson is shot in the shoulder but manages to stagger outside yelling you double crossed me like he fell straight out of a soap opera. A nearby doctor stops a police officer from finishing him off and later points out that the bullet holes in the bank don't match the police story that Freckles fired first. The police say shh. The newspapers say shh. The death certificate says shock from gunshot wounds inflicted by police. Justifiable homicide. Holy shit. Edson survives, heals up and tells the press everything. He's never charged. Refuse, goes to jail for criminal intent. The five police officers involved are demoted or transferred. None of them lost their jobs. And in the most poetic twist of all, the victims of this crime, the bank manager and staff, are later fired for financial irregularities. So in the end, literally everyone involved was terrible at their jobs except the farmers. Holy shit. Stay sexy, vet your criminal accomplices, and avoid financial irregularities, Kelly. Wow. That was an epic tale. Isn't that so good? Why isn't that a movie? It should go much slower, and that actual drive time to the bank is your act one. It's the whole thing. And I want to see, you know who I want to see in it is, I'm not going to remember his name. Is it a Canadian? No. Yeah, I guess it has to be Canadian, huh? I mean, you don't have to, but it'd be nice. What the fuck is his name? Brendan Fraser. No, from Fargo. Martin Freeman? No, but I'm picturing Fargo in a lot of ways in the same kind of vein. William? No. Steve Buscemi. Oh. He would be great in this. Right? Yeah. I think Freckles. Freckles for sure. Although he dies at the end. It's true. Nobody wants to see Steve Buscemi die at the end. They learn that in The Big Lebowski. Right. Oh, okay. My heart's still broken. Okay. Hi, ladies. I love you and you both rock. I honestly don't know if this is considered a long one or not, but hopefully it's worth it. I've written in a few stories about my mom and I have another for you. The time her dream prevented us from being robbed. One night, my mom had a super vivid dream that our house was on fire. So she gets up to check that everything is all right She searches every room of our three house for hot outlets candles left burning curtains too close to the heater everything and didn find anything that was out of place A little uneasy but convinced the house wasn gonna burn down she goes back upstairs and lays down to go back to sleep. As she's laying down, she hears the signature creak of the bottom-most stair. You know, you know your house so well that you're like, that's the sound that it shouldn't be making right now. That's absolutely something. I love knowing a house that well. Yeah, that's a fun feeling. And then they say, like, if you think there's someone in your house that shouldn't be there, don't turn the lights on because you know the fucking house and the plan better than they do. They're the ones having to sneak around. Yeah. That's a good idea. Just walk into your fucking couch and shit. You get up there and you pull a home alone. You start rolling out those marbles. That's right. Grab your tarantula. Get it going. You know that tarantula you love. Okay. She bolts down the hall to the stairs and sees a man in all black walking down them. She screams for my dad and says that the guy didn't even look at her, just calmly walked out the sliding back door. My dad comes running out in his underwear with the baseball bat that they keep next to their bed. It's the middle of winter in Minnesota, so he didn't chase the man outside, but we promptly called the police who showed up with search dogs. They followed his scent to the neighborhood over, but never ended up finding him. It's terrifying to think about my mom alone in the dark, walking through the house while this man was there. She's a badass and has no fear when it comes to protecting her family. The next night, she reclaimed her safety by sitting in the kitchen all night with the doors unlocked and the lights on saying, come get us, motherfucker. Nice. She's like, I'm ready for you this time. She's like, I'm not going to be held captive by nighttime or like the similar circumstances. I'm going to like empower myself in it. The baseball bat. Stay sexy and listen to your dreams, Leah. Wow. Yeah, that's intense. I think that would be a great thing. If you have a story about a person in your house, please write in and tell us. Because I had my old friend, Mileva. Oh, like someone being in your house when they're not supposed to be? Yeah. I think I've told you the story probably four to five times over the last 10 years. I have a bad memory. I'm in perimenopause. It's all new. Yeah. My old college roommate, Mileva, had a friend because they lived out in Roseville, which is like the country up above Sacramento. and her friend was in her house one night by herself and went to walk down the hallway and there was a man at the other end of the hallway and she just, like, something came over her because she was like, I'm not going to be able to fight this man or whatever. So she just started making the weirdest noise she could and, like, super loud and super weird and, like, squatted down and the man, like, ran out of the house because essentially she's like, the odds that this person might be on drugs are pretty good. Right. So now I'm just going to fuck with his head. Totally. And scare him instead of him scaring me. That's a fucking choice. And it's not a bad one. I mean, she kicked ass. Yeah. Wow. That's that's I can't even imagine what I would do. Like, that's just so scary. I know. It's so. I hate it. I hate it. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Letby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level if the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, The Case of Lucy Letby on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question, of his life. And that's a unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its vault of secrets. Listen to The Sixth Bureau on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clayton Eckerd, and in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. he became the first bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected. The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it, all I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom, with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. Please search for it. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of he said, she said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. I have done nothing except get pregnant by the f***ing bachelor! Listen to Love Trapped on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay. Okay. Well, this is good news because the subject line of this email is Denver night two meet and greet. K&G asked me to write this in. Oh, yay. So when we are on the road and we meet people backstage and people have stories for us, we always are like, just write it in because we want to hear this. So I'm not going to read the rest. It says, hi, Karen in Georgia and MFM ERM team. I was so overwhelmed and nervous at the meet and greet. I was barely able to talk to you, but knew I had to give you a little tidbit about my hometown. Sorry to hit and run. Here's the full story. So this was someone who started this story and then basically we were like, wait, what? And then walked away. My favorite type of person. I lived in a small suburban town in Kansas with my single mother around 2003, 2004. As we lived somewhat near my elementary school, my mom and I would walk there together most mornings. Almost every time we walked by this particular house, a man would stand on his porch and wave as we passed by. On a few occasions, he and my mom stopped to chat for a while as I waited impatiently at her side. Even at only 9 or 10, I always thought he was a creep and hated getting stuck there while they talked. As I said, it was a small town, so it didn't seem strange when we started running into him multiple times a week. We'd see him at the park while he was working. He had a city job, at the grocery store, at church events. He became friendlier with my mom at each meeting. And although I never felt any concern for her during these encounters, she told me privately after a particularly strange run in near our home to never go anywhere near him ever. So, mom, you and I are picking up the same thing this guy's putting down. I got the baby bad vibes and you've got the mommy bad vibes. The fully developed ones to affirm those. We eventually moved 30 minutes away and they didn't keep in touch. But it wasn't long before we saw him again, because not a year or two later, he was plastered all over the news. Our neighbor, Dennis Rader. No! The infamous serial killer BTK had been arrested for his slew of murders in the Wichita area between 1974 and 1991. It was Dennis fucking Rader? She was getting eight-year-old bad vibes from BTK. Which is so creepy, too, because, like, he did look like your normal neighbor. He didn't look creepy at all. I know that he was weird, but, like, yeah, you're just walking by and there's a guy in his front yard. That guy, the dog catcher who also goes to our church. Yeah, but don't ever talk to him. Go nowhere near him. Oh, my God. Okay. It's just that thing of it's almost like a scary roller coaster or whatever where it's like, could you, what would it feel like to have the hairs go up on the back of your neck for somebody to that level of danger? Yeah. Because that's a full psychopath. Yeah. What would that experience be like? I don't know. I have chills. Okay. As most of us murderinos know his dumb ass was caught after sending letters in a floppy disc directly to the police And then it just says eye roll As an adult I had friends who worked at the prison in El Dorado They said he was overall a decent inmate but smug and annoying as fuck if you let him open his mouth long enough. Stay sexy and don't accidentally befriend a serial killer, Morgan. I want to hear from the mom. Yeah. Like, what did they talk about? What was it the first time where she was just like, chills? That man was so craven and horrifying. Evil. Yeah. His daughter's book is really good. Oh, yeah. Do we know the name? My father's a serial killer. Probably not that. Georgia, is it a serial killer's daughter? Yes. A serial killer's daughter. Thank you, Molly. Nice. All right. Here we go. I'm not going to read you the subject line. Y'all. Hello, everyone. Love you all. I started listening sometime in fall of 2016, and at the time, I thought I was late to the game. LOL. I grew up in Texas and my mom is totally the reason I'm a murderino. Throughout my childhood, she would watch forensic files to help her fall asleep because she found it soothing. Nowadays, she uses the news and my dad, siblings and I all agree that forensic files was the healthier choice. For real. Although we're glad it's CNN and not Fox News. My mom sent me a Fox News article today. Of course. I'm like, I don't open these links, mom. Why are you spamming me? I squealed and called my sister as soon as Georgia announced she was covering the Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial because my parents now live in Park City, Utah, and my mom and her friends were sitting in court throughout most of the trial. Oh, my God. I was at home with a three-month-old glued to the TV, pointing to the screen and showing my daughter, look, there's honey. She's three now, and it would have been way more fun if she'd been old enough to know what on earth I was talking about. I got several texts from people who recognized my mom in the background of the trial, and it was entertaining to find out who else was tuned in. My mom even made T-shirts with Gwyneth's picture that said hashtag Gwyneth'sent. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. G-W-Y-N-N-O-C-E-N-D. Gwyneth'sent. How did she know? I don't know, but it's too good not to do it. I mean, it's a really good plan words, but also very strong stance. Yeah. To where, while the verdict was read, my favorite part of the whole ordeal was that she made it into the background of the photos of Gwyneth patting Terry Sanderson on the back and saying, I wish you well. Yes. She's in the photos. She's the zealot of this case. If you look for her, she has dark hair pulled back and is wearing a black T-shirt, coat and glasses. Amazing. You have to find her. I got such a kick out of the whole thing. My mom is so crazy, but in a fun way. This was the perfect entertainment at three months postpartum. Thanks for everything you do. I can't even begin to describe what this podcast has meant for me over the past 10 or technically like 9.5 years or to list all of the major life events that y'all have experienced with me. But just know we all love and appreciate you too. And everyone at ERM. XOXO Izzy She Her. Thanks, Izzy. Also, that is a real fun mom where it's like, well, it's happening in our town. Let's go down there and see what's going on. Yeah. Like, I don't mind my own business. I want to fucking hear everything about it. And I'm going to wear a shirt about it. It's low stakes true crime. Let's get into it. China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary.

Listen to Love Trapped on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, here's my last one. Okay. It says, thank you from the Twin Cities. Septic line. Hi, Karen in Georgia. I started listening when you only had about five episodes out, and I never stopped. There are lots of things I would thank you for, but today I felt compelled to write, and thank you for talking about the situation here in Minnesota. When you first started to talk about everything, I considered skipping ahead for once because I didn't want to hear yet more people talking about how awful things are here. Thankfully, I didn't. It is extremely stressful here every single day. I work at a swim school with kids who are primarily 3 to 10 years old. Here in St. Paul, we have a large Somali, Latina, and Hmong populations that we work with every day. These lessons are only a half an hour once a week, but the relationships we build with our swimmers can be extremely strong. I've worked here for almost five years, and in that time, I've had the privilege of watching so many kids grow from literal babies who can't talk to elementary schoolers who are learning to do the butterfly. I love my state and living in the Twin Cities, but these last few months have been absolutely devastating. Every day, a new family calls to drop their swim lessons for the rest of the quarter because they're too scared to leave their house. Anytime a family doesn't come to class, we worry until we hear from them again. We try so hard to keep a sense of normalcy for the kids and pretend everything is fine, but even they are feeling the stress and noticing what's happening around them. The other day, a four-year-old noticed the whistles on the adults around him and asked his mom, are we safe? Oh, my God. Another student's school currently has an attendance rate of 30% because the rest of his classmates are too scared to leave their homes. We have a website saved on our phones that notifies us of ice sightings nearby. Every large window-tinted vehicle is a potential threat. My friend hasn't been sleeping at their house for days because a man was shot by ice right outside and they don't feel safe anymore. A co-worker has witnessed someone being detained three different times on his way to work. The government tries to tell us that they are doing this for our own good and to prevent crime while targeting nurses, teachers and families. If you asked anyone who actually lives here, they would tell you that these people make our cities more vibrant and stronger. They are some of the strongest, bravest, funniest people you will ever meet. It is absolutely heartbreaking and rage-inducing to watch them be targeted so aggressively just for trying to live their lives. Being in the middle of it all it hard to know how the rest of the country views what happening here Although our sense of community is strong it feels like we screaming into the void all alone Normally we quick to offer aid and advice to those new to the cold We're usually even willing to offer a ride to people we don't like that much just to keep them from being out in the cold. But right now, one of the few things we take comfort in is watching ICE agents slip on ice or get stuck in the snow. It might seem small and silly, but choosing not to help is an act of resistance against these outside forces invading our lives. So I wanted to thank you for recognizing our strength and kindness during these extremely traumatic times. Minnesota is not perfect, and sometimes Minnesota nice is actually just being passive-aggressive. But every day... I love it. I love Minnesota nice. What an incredible self-awareness in the midst of this very powerful email. But every day we strive for Minnesota nice to mean being kind, resilient, and optimistic in the face of minus 17 degree weather that feels like minus 43 degree weather. And then in parentheses, the actual conditions outside as I write this. Oh, my God. Minus 43. Thank you for everything. They want us to feel helpless and scared. But even your little shout out helps keep me from giving in to the grief that threatens me daily. Thank you for reminding me that we aren't alone here and that what we say and do really matters. Thank you for seeing us. SSDGM, Kat. Oh, my God. That means so much to me. Yeah. Everyone, Twin Cities should know that us coastal elites out here in California are fucking cheering you on and are so impressed. And watching it the way that like, especially for me as being a TikTok addict, the way that people on TikTok are reporting the actions in the news and the way those communities are organizing at a level that like needs to be studied. And it's getting other communities here and all over the country. It's giving them it's showing us how to do it here, too. So we're like taking their direct experience and using it like in my neighborhood. There's apps and then there's like the text threads and stuff like that. Yeah. Just, yeah, it's amazing. What the fuck is this country? Well, that's just it. I think we're starting to see what this country is. And the majority of this country are people who are like, hey, how about you go fuck yourself if you think you're going to come here and snatch people off the street? Totally. Totally. Yeah. Well, I have a total fucking 180. I'm not telling you the title. Hey, starting off with compliments. I am a huge fan of you both and have been listening from the start. This podcast has been a center point through high school graduation. two engineering degrees, and the transition into full-time work and adulthood. It's crazy how much has changed in 10 years, but you guys have always been a constant. Now onto the story. A few years ago, I matched with a guy on Hinge and we immediately hit it off. He invited me out on a date to a local brewery where we met up and talked for hours about everything from loathing unnecessary road trip breaks to our love of animals. Unnecessary road trip breaks. That's actually a perfect match. If you're trying to really align with someone. It's like, are you going to be driven crazy by a person who's like, oh, wait, I need to get a Coke? Yeah. My dad wants to stop every like half an hour to stretch his legs. And you're just like, no, we have to get there. Like, get me my Lunchables and then let's fucking go. Yeah. I told him all about my dogs, then began rambling about my childhood cat, Harry. A stray cat had kittens in our neighbor's garage. So my parents let my siblings pick one to rescue, who was later named Harry because of One Direction. He didn't adapt well to being stuck in the house, so he became our happy little indoor-outdoor cat. Harry is infamous on the local Facebook pages and is well-known in the neighborhood for soliciting belly rubs and begging for treats. It's like the neighborhood's cat. I love that. When Harry was 12, he started having trouble moving and he was diagnosed with diabetes. Our neighbors regularly feeding him treats probably did not help. Now he has to have insulin injections twice a day, but is healthy enough to patrol the neighborhood again. My date gave me a weird look once I finished explaining, and I immediately regretted getting on the diabetic cat topic on your first date. He could sense my embarrassment and then smiled at me asking what my last name was. I hesitated when saying my last name because you can't trust anyone these days, SSTGM. Before he even reacted to my last name, I said, all caps, Oh my God, are you Harry's pharmacist? What? I knew he was a pharmacist at a local pharmacy, but I hadn't put two and two together. We'd started dying laughing. And he told me that he had most definitely met my dad. Because that's where you get your animal medications from. Pharmacy. I talked to my parents later on and my dad knew exactly who he was and only had great things to say. We started dating. And a few months in, my dad started telling people, my daughter's sleeping with her cat's pharmacist. Dad, knock it off. I was mortified. But my then boyfriend thought it was hilarious. My dad didn't realize how weird it sounded and proceeded to keep telling people that throughout our relationship. We are now very happily married with our first baby on the way. They have to name it Harry. Harry Jr. Even if it's a girl. On the way, just hoping he will stop telling people I'm sleeping with our cat's pharmacist. The evidence is pretty damning now, though. Yeah. I hope you enjoyed this story now that I can laugh about it instead of dying of embarrassment. If you read this, I will be playing this in the car to see how long it takes for him to realize it's our story. Aw. You two truly are the best and have made such an impact on my sanity. Stay sexy and sleep with your child on Cat's pharmacist. C. C. How cute is that? It's so cute. Gives you hope. Well, yes, because in that moment where you're on a date, and this is very corny, but who fucking cares at this point in the world? No. The thing that makes you go, oh, no, I just ruined it. I just said the thing that ruined everything. Cats, diabetes. What are you fucking talking about? Right. And it's like, sure, maybe in the past. Maybe that's happened to you before. But then here's the person that's supposed to hear it. Yeah. It's beautiful. I love it. It's a Sandra Bullock movie. We're wishing them well. I wish we had his name.
