Welcome to Colorado! From the vastness of the Rocky Mountains to the 300 days of annual sunshine, and the diverse cities to some of the most fu*ked-up murderers, this state has something for everyone. With stories like JonBenét Ramsy, Columbine High School, Tedd Bundy, and the Aurora Theater shooting, Kevin and Brandon found two stories that are just as awful.
With perspective from our co-host Kevin, whose formative years were spent in various cities throughout the state, this week's episode is about two awful humans that took the lives of many, right in the heart of the West. Get ready for this insane episode, and forewarning, it contains the retelling of some traumatic sexual assaults and gory events.
Kevin starts us off by diving into the story of a greedy, narcissistic man with severe mommy issues. John "Jack" Gilbert Graham, a hapless criminal and one of Colorado's worst mass murderers, is a dude who didn't get the memo that the song "It's Raining Men" was about delicious, sexy men raining down on you, fulfilling your ultimate gay naked fantasies. Instead, he thinks the song means something quite sinister. Stupid boy.
Then Brandon dives into the story of a 12-day murderous rampage that would take over 30 years to convict a murderer who had no motive. The story of the Colorado Hammer Killer, Alex Ewing, is a fu*ked-up tale of a small man with weirdo tendencies and a lot of hatred. The moral of this story, friends... Lock. Your. Doors!
