Speaker 1:

Welcome to Everything Scary. My name is Lynn and I'm here with my co-host local celebrity, sorry, sorry, international celebrity. Thank you, matt McClain.

Speaker 2:

Hello, hello.

Speaker 1:

Every Tuesday we release a new episode, mostly true crime, but we've also been known to cover a pandemic, a haunting, a super mad, super strong chimpanzee. We'll cover anything and everything scary. Please rate us five stars and join us on Instagram at Everything Scary Pod. Here we go. Okay, all right. The last one we recorded, Chris, was like I was waiting for like a jump off point where you guys were like hello or something, but we didn't because I was recording and uh, oh, we didn't say hello, we didn't say anything.

Speaker 1:

Oh, hello you were just talking about, I think, farting or something, and then it just uh.

Speaker 2:

Sounds a bit right.

Speaker 1:

He's like I don't know where you want me to start.

Speaker 2:

That sounds great, yeah, as soon as you see the levels.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, as soon as you hear fart, that is Welcome to the party. As soon as you hear the fart, you know that we're bringing our egg in.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

So before we get started today, I want to give a shout out to some of our patrons. I always I'm so bad with that. I always kind of fall apart when I'm just Because I start writing the story and then I'm like there's other obligations that I have that I just don't meet, and so I'm going to do that right now.

Speaker 2:

I got to be honest with you. You really got to work on. You know your kids are really high on your to-do list. I know we just got to bring that down.

Speaker 1:

Patrons stories. Mexican food. Then, like Max, because he's the youngest, we got to tend to the youngest first and then the other two are fine.

Speaker 2:

Whatever, actually, we would do?

Speaker 1:

We've had fucking not me, but the kids have had pink eye all week.

Speaker 2:

Oh. Fun fact about pink eye it's not poo. I always thought it was poo until like maybe a year or two ago.

Speaker 1:

I mean if it's an isolated incident. I think that, like bacterial, can very likely be poo.

Speaker 2:

I'm like looking at your eyes right now. I'm just wiping my eye on your chairs.

Speaker 1:

That's fine, that's just yellow.

Speaker 2:

That's fine.

Speaker 1:

No, my eyes are fine, you just have to, not. That's the fucking. That's why kids always get it, because it's like if you see someone with pink eyes, just don't touch their eye and then touch your own eye. And kids are like I'm going to do the exact opposite of that, I love touching eyes. I love yellow crust.

Speaker 2:

Triangle of death is my fun zone.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, so Max had it. And then today I'm looking at Jacob and he's just like one eye shut. I'm like you just weren't going to say anything about that. You were All right Okay.

Speaker 2:

Oh, it's like one of the guys that get bit by the zombie but covers it up. I thought I would be fine. I thought, it was just I thought it was just a cold.

Speaker 1:

It's funny, though, because Max is my little guy and he's so easy to put drops in his eyes, and then Jake was just like his birthday's next week, so I'm like if I give you one of your birthday presents, can I put these drops in your eye.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I did call. He's like yeah, okay, that's great, yeah, nice. Did you extend it, or was it just the one one's off, or is it? Whenever I need to put drops, you're getting drops.

Speaker 1:

Well, my husband was in the shower when this all transpired. I will not be doing it from here on. That is a really really. It's like bathroom stuff and garbage Like that kind of stuff is not where I shine. I got you so from now on, he's going to have to figure something out.

Speaker 2:

I bought all the presents.

Speaker 1:

So he's on his own. So we have had some of our patrons giving us trouble about our packages not going out on time.

Speaker 2:

I actually was surprised to read about your anti-Scolon stance.

Speaker 1:

Oh my god nobody has an anti-Scolon stance.

Speaker 2:

Well.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I did read it on Facebook, so you wrote it on Facebook.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's why. I was like I've heard that, I've heard this, I have. It was me. Yes, oh that's hilarious. And what was the issue? It was that Braveheart won Best Picture in 95 or something.

Speaker 1:

No, it was like something about Mel Gibson. I don't fucking know, Matt. This is a whole scenario you made up in your own head.

Speaker 2:

How am I supposed to?

Speaker 1:

know what the fuck your storyline is. You tell me, but all of the packages that all the people that were waiting have been sent out. So, at this point. I have your tracking numbers. If you want to DM me, I mean I'll give it to you. I don't know what you do with it though.

Speaker 2:

I don't have tracking numbers for the ones that I sent the bracelets. I just put them in the mailbox.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the bracelets are fine, that's just, it's anything that's like an oversized letter, so if it has socks or something in it, I had to send it through tracking. I got you. So I would like to say hi and thank you to We've got a few now. Laura C.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

She's like I, was like Matt and didn't realize that I was listening to true crime. We just covered a patreon episode of adi Holland, zach Bowen, and it takes a really gruesome turn and at first it was just like Kind of a nice living off, oh yeah they're just living post Katrina, you know that's right. Then all of a sudden shit.

Speaker 2:

Well, hell broke loose.

Speaker 1:

Yes, she's like. I was like whoa.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I know, I know, not even really like a warm-up, it was just like wow, here we are.

Speaker 1:

Oh, wow, okay, that's what dark real fast. But hey, this is a survival story, all right. So you know what? I don't even know. Have I done? Yeah, I've done a couple survival stories.

Speaker 2:

I'm a survive. What I'm not gonna give, what fantastic.

Speaker 1:

So oh here we go, oh god. And I spelled here we go H E, a, r, what a fucking bonehead. No, that could be. It's for audio.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, thank you here, yeah, we go.

Speaker 1:

Right, you pick the like wrong things to back me with. You know she is really racist.

Speaker 2:

But her spelling mistakes could make sense.

Speaker 1:

So we're gonna do the survival story of Jennifer Mori. It takes place on April 15th of 1995. So Jennifer Mori was a 25 year old woman, she had just finished law school and she was embarking on a new promising career as a lawyer 25, that's like amazing and smoking hot too, to this day. Yeah, I gotta say smoking hot.

Speaker 2:

I was still doing wakin bakes, I think at that age.

Speaker 1:

You kind of look like you just did a waking baby. That's right, I've been up all day, but yet somehow.

Speaker 2:

I have resting, waking face.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, she was. You know she's a lawyer, she's getting it and she'd recently moved into an apartment all over on oh, your dog is just sitting right by me, he's super cute, he's a birdie. He doesn't know. He's like she talks about some fucked up shit, but like she's pretty nice to my face.

Speaker 2:

He's like, she smells always like talk to me.

Speaker 1:

No, I definitely do.

Speaker 2:

I definitely do smell.

Speaker 1:

I think that if I was to get pulled over on my way here, I would get distracted driving because there's just fucking taco chaos everywhere. There's no way I could deny it.

Speaker 2:

Ma'am, did you by chance, uh, flip over your car, that it contained multiple hamster encampments?

Speaker 1:

It's either that or I opened my door and then took a running. Start with a taco in my hand.

Speaker 1:

It's chaos but, um, yeah, so she had moved into an apartment on her own. Um, she, you know she's a young woman, she's looking to feel safe. This was in Houston, texas, so so she was aware that there are certain dangers when you're a young woman on your own, and that is why she, when she went for a walkthrough of bayou park apartment complex in houston, texas, and learned that they had 24 hour security guards that would be on site, her interest was peaked. Okay, and the guards are well known. Every source that I heard talk about them knew who they were. I have no clue who the guards, so it's pinkerton security.

Speaker 2:

Oh, they're wonderful Shut up. You don't know that, I don't know them.

Speaker 1:

To me. I think really pinkerton and fucking Alberta. Oh, yeah, yeah and then I'm like oh, I don't really want you watching me All right, drive through wait.

Speaker 2:

What the hell.

Speaker 1:

So you know their motto was being a pinkerton agent means we are your trusted partner, because at pinkerton we never sleep. Oh my god, we're gonna find out that that's fucking true.

Speaker 2:

I like not great, but true. They never sleep.

Speaker 1:

They never sleep.

Speaker 2:

Okay. So, I would go on a pinkerton. We don't stinkerton. Well that you know what I would have been. My slogan you missed your fucking calling and I've said that a time security guard's slogan, company writer. It's very niche calling, but it is a calling.

Speaker 1:

So the apartment complex also had eight foot fences that surrounded it. Okay.

Speaker 2:

It's good.

Speaker 1:

I mean, it doesn't really sound like it would be Fucking unbreakable.

Speaker 2:

I mean, to me there's no difference between an eight foot fence and a three foot fence. I'm not getting over it. I look at a three foot fence the same way you would an eight. I like getting over that I don't want to do it.

Speaker 1:

So she thought this place was perfect for her. And on the evening of april 15th of 1995 it was a saturday. So jennifer's friend had called her and she wanted to know if she wanted to meet up for a couple drinks. Like a little pub, have a pub night, come on Happy hour. So jennifer was hesitant at first because obviously she makes really good choices, she's a lawyer. But you know what? She had a little devil on her shoulder. She's like bucket, I'm going.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, alley mcbeal, she's a lawyer. They got unisex bathroom.

Speaker 1:

Naked. So she ended up with out with friends. She had a great time and then she was driving home. Well, she wasn't driving home, her friend drove her home. So she went ahead a couple Uh about one am. She got in the house. She did a quick bedroom like bed face wash kind of you know, Change into your 90. I think 90s were big in the 90s. Not entirely sure. I was in grade five at this point.

Speaker 1:

I was in 90s for sure and they had like princesses on them, though, so she double checked that her door was locked. This was something that was very important to her, and she was able to easily fall asleep. At around 4 am Jennifer was awakened. She had been out drinking. It was 4 am, so she was kind of in a haze at first and she wasn't entirely sure if she was experiencing what she thought she was experiencing. Maybe a little bit of sleep paralysis, but no, she did end up kind of clearing up and realizing that there was a grown man straddling her.

Speaker 2:

Oh oh not like watching her from the window.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no, no, no Hi.

Speaker 2:

I'm here Wow.

Speaker 1:

No, he was right on top of her. So you know, jennifer was actually waking into a waking nightmare.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

She said that one of the first things that she realized was the coarseness of his leg hair. She could feel it like rubbing against her legs. Which woof.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And then she felt that there was some pressure on her neck. So she kind of went to touch what was on her neck still a little haze and realized that her attacker had a knife to her neck.

Speaker 2:

Oh jeez.

Speaker 1:

So she realized that she was in a fight for her life. And as she tried to fight off her attacker, he became enraged. He took the knife and he cut her from the cheekbone down to the middle of her throat and then across her throat, slashing it oh my god. And then she continued to scream as loud as she could, and kind of something that was horrific was that he kept referring to her by not only her first name, but her first and last name at certain points.

Speaker 2:

Oh, fuck yeah.

Speaker 1:

So you know, he was like shut the fuck up Jennifer Mori, and she was screaming.

Speaker 2:

So weird.

Speaker 1:

I know it's really really weird.

Speaker 2:

It must be like a control thing or something, because of both names.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he's like I fucking know who you are yeah. But she's like I'm in an apartment building. Somebody's going to fucking hear me, right. But she's getting to the point now where she's kind of getting a bit weak and there's blood everywhere. So even trying to get a grip on this man to push him off of her, it was just slippery.

Speaker 1:

There was really nothing that she could do. So she kind of decided that she had to make a decision in this moment. He was getting angrier and angrier, and the more she resisted the more fight he had in him. So she just kind of decided that she had to accept her fate. She knew in that moment that he wanted to come in and he was wanting to rape her. So she just was going to go quiet and let it happen.

Speaker 1:

But miraculously this piece of shit was unable to perform Sockers. So he then grabbed Jennifer by her hair and dragged her to her washroom. God only knows what he had planned for her in there. But thankfully he had forgotten his knife in her bedroom. So he kind of threw Jennifer on the floor in the bathroom and then he went to retrieve his knife from her room and she tried to push her body weight against the door. But then she realized like I'm way too weak, I can't stand here. So she did the only thing that she thought she could do and she put her back against the door and pushed her feet up against her tub, so that it was kind of a wedge that he couldn't get in.

Speaker 1:

She sat on the floor and she grabbed an entire roll of toilet paper and just pressed it against her wound, oh jeez. And it was just saturated.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And so she knew she was losing blood really quickly and she could hear this fucking psychopath just ransacking her apartment and she was becoming weaker and weaker. And then, as she was listening for him, she heard him zip up his jeans.

Speaker 2:

Could you kind of interrupt you for a second? Sure, because I know for like bullet wounds you can use like a tampon. Could you use like a tampax, like no, but I know it's kind of funny, but it's like it's an absorbent thing and just the way like with the I don't know okay, it is kind of funny, I don't know how like the wings work.

Speaker 1:

You look really serious, but could you I the wings, just one to your earlobe, no but One to your shirt. I just what the fuck? You know the face. Well, it's shocking, it's a very alarming, and you know what? I haven't thought about it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I will be in touch with tampax.

Speaker 2:

In theory.

Speaker 1:

I will figure it out. Okay, For our next recording. You know what I'm gonna step ahead of the game.

Speaker 2:

Hey, I was just trying to help the survivalists, you know, when she was in her moment of need.

Speaker 1:

I don't think she was as quick on her feet as you are.

Speaker 2:

No, I mean no, that would work. I think it was what she's doing work.

Speaker 1:

Charmaine, especially like they are very, it's a plentiful, it's very, you know-.

Speaker 2:

It's Charmin. Sorry, charmaine's a lady that sounds like she'd kick some fucking ass.

Speaker 1:

She would have thought to use the pad with the fucking wings.

Speaker 2:

That's right. That's what Charmin would have done. Look at Charmaine's wife, Queen Charmaine.

Speaker 1:

So she listened for a few more minutes after she heard the fucking God-awful sound of him zipping up his pants, and then she figured she had to take the risk. She wanted to quietly open this door so she could get to her phone Remember, we're in 1995 too, so it's not a time of cell phones ready. She made her way to her knees and she tried to grasp the door handle, but because there was just fucking blood everywhere so slippery.

Speaker 1:

She couldn't even get a good grasp on it. And when she was finally able to like turn the door handle, she realized that when she was like pushing to keep him out, she had jammed it. So now she couldn't. Even though the door handle was turning, she couldn't get it out of the door frame.

Speaker 2:

Isn't that good.

Speaker 1:

Well, not after he's gone. She needs to get to a phone and oh right, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yeah, yes, great.

Speaker 1:

So at this point she's just like what the fuck?

Speaker 2:

What else Hitting yeah?

Speaker 1:

So she literally just started laughing, like she was like OK, I'm stuck here, I'm going to fucking. I just survived this psychopath and now I'm going to die my bad.

Speaker 1:

So you know, she did what she could and she ended up getting a good grip on the door and she was like you know what? I'm going to have to fucking just yank this shit open. I'll worry about the sound because I can't. If I just stay here I'm going to die. So she gave it everything she had and the door came open and she crawled out on her hands and knees and when she went to turn on the lights, the lights didn't work.

Speaker 1:

And then she went to go get her landline and her landline didn't work because this guy had cut her power.

Speaker 2:

Oh shit.

Speaker 1:

But luckily, because you know Jennifer is thriving and she had a cell phone, probably the first cell phone ever invented.

Speaker 2:

Probably comes in a case. Leather case yeah, Strap on it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and so she brought it into the bathroom. I think she, just like you know, probably felt less exposed being in the bathroom as opposed to she's got a fucking balcony and like who knows how this person got in.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So she made her way back to the bathroom and she called 911. So she sounded very frightened when she was on the call and she told the dispatcher as calmly as possible what was happening. So I'm going to read some of the transcript from that call to you. The 911 operator, richard Everett, is a rock star. And this was his fucking first ever shift.

Speaker 2:

Oh, my God.

Speaker 1:

Like do you have a cat up a tree?

Speaker 2:

Maybe that I can fucking warm up with, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So Jennifer Calden dispatch answered. So she said in a very, very low voice she said please help me. This guy just tried to cut my throat. And so Richard said ma'am. And she said there's blood everywhere. I'm covered in blood. He knew my name. I don't know who it was. I locked the door. I don't know how we got in my apartment. Richard said OK, ma'am, try to calm down a little bit. She said that fucking worked out. You know what he gets passed.

Speaker 2:

Yes, ma'am, ma'am, you're being hysterical. He's like whoa. Yeah, Ma'am.

Speaker 1:

So she said why would anybody do something like this? And he said I don't know. We have some crazy people in this world, but I want you to stay on the line. And she said what's your name? And he said my name is Richard. She wrote I'm sorry, I'm calming down. And he said there you go, you're doing fine right now. You're doing fine. And at some point during this 10 minute call, jennifer Hears allowed authoritative knock at her door and she tells Richard that she believes that the police are already at her door. So she had opened the washroom door and she was making her way to her apartment door. But Richard informed her that he's watching the screen as the police are making their way to Jennifer, but they're not.

Speaker 2:

Oh God.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so he says to her don't answer that door right now no.

Speaker 1:

At this point Jennifer is already at her front door and you can hear her talk through the door to whoever's there and she says hello. And then she tells Richard they say it's secure, it's security. And Richard goes it's security. And Jennifer calls through the door what's your name? And then Richard says can you see through the people? But Jennifer didn't have her contact lenses in right now and she had lost fucking tons of blood. Yeah, and you know she had blood all over her face, her eyes. He cut her right below her eye.

Speaker 2:

In active trauma.

Speaker 1:

Right, right. So she couldn't actually see out her people, which is probably a good thing, because if she had had been able to see out her people, she would have seen that this was security and that would have been a problem. Oh, so Richard tells Jennifer that if she does not personally know this person, it's on the other side of the door. She needs to keep it shut into the place Arrive. So he's trying to keep her calm. He's telling her just hold on another couple of minutes, like three more minutes, and the police and the ambulance will be there and they'll save you. But Jennifer needs help now. Like she's bleeding out, she's fucking in, like you can even tell on the phone call that she's not completely with it anymore. But Richard's insistent and like this is his first day on the job. So it's not experience that's making him feel this way, but it's something in his gut that's like don't fucking open that door.

Speaker 1:

So Jennifer is unsure. She was about this advice and the person on the other side of the door was just almost badgering her Like.

Speaker 2:

I see that there's blood out.

Speaker 1:

here he goes. I was attacked too. I saw him jump from your balcony, her second story balcony. I chased him down. I have been injured too. So again, Richard's on the other line and he's still so insistent that she not answer that door. And after a while Jennifer could hear a bunch of promotion in the hall, and she knew that like for sure. Now the real cops the ambulance, the fire department, everything was there as soon as she heard that she collapsed.

Speaker 2:

Geez.

Speaker 1:

So I think that when we hear these kinds of stories, there's, like often, people who are severely injured, but the adrenaline just keeps them going. Like they can hang on until that minute that they just know they don't have to hang on anymore. And I think that's what happened to her, Because when she got to the hospital they actually found out that the knife had nicked her jugular.

Speaker 2:

Oh, my God yeah.

Speaker 1:

So she was immediately rushed to the hospital and she was told that she was lucky to still be alive. When they got to the door, this security guard was still at the door and he had to be checked out too because, as he claimed, he had also been, you know, attacked after he ran down. It was like this really heroic moment, and he told them that when he noticed the man jump from Jennifer's second story balcony, the man had taken off running through a field and he had chased him, and when he was able to catch up with him, the two fought. And it was in that chaos that the security guard, whose name was Brian Wayne Gibson, no Three names, Like I mean, you tipped your hand.

Speaker 1:

So you know he had received some minor injuries.

Speaker 2:

Uh huh.

Speaker 1:

Brian had been an employee of Pinkerton Security since 1992. But he didn't stay in one place for very long with the company because Pinkerton kept getting complaints about Brian. You know they'd move him and they'd try.

Speaker 2:

Oh, my God yeah.

Speaker 1:

So they're like you know what? He fucking assaulted this one guy. It's fine, you know, we're just going to move him somewhere else.

Speaker 2:

I mean you expect that you know level of corruption in the Catholic Church, but not a security company, a respected organization like Pinkerton Security. Pinkerton Security Come on.

Speaker 1:

So you know they decided what they would do, so he didn't have that much interaction with people, as they put him as the overnight guard at a fucking apartment complex oh my God, Seemed to be problems.

Speaker 2:

Why hey, why not?

Speaker 1:

That's you know, if there's not going to be as many people.

Speaker 2:

What could happen at night?

Speaker 1:

Nothing, that's just it.

Speaker 2:

That's what I'm trying to say, is that?

Speaker 1:

night. So you know, the last issue that Pinkerton had with Brian was you know. So what he was like doing security and then like there was a client and like yeah, he took the guy's car for a little bit. What's the?

Speaker 2:

big deal, come on A little. Gta Boundaries, not my friends. Who needs boundaries, not security?

Speaker 1:

guards. Nope, he was like this my car, your car, suit car, me car, I don't know Something like that In his defense.

Speaker 2:

The car was secure the entire time. He was with him, so you gotta give him half credit.

Speaker 1:

So while investigating, the police did notice like this and this was like a lot of things. I think I would notice this. I don't think I would notice, but you know he had said that he chased this guy down through a field and he tackled him and they were noticing that, like the early morning do was still like perfectly not.

Speaker 2:

Oh, it wasn't disturbed. It wasn't disturbed at all. Yeah, no, it was just nice and moist, you'd love it. He just leaned right into it.

Speaker 1:

So you know they decided they were going to go through Jennifer's apartment. You know, natural next steps.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And they noticed how much blood Jennifer had lost, like it was on the walls, it was on the floors. Her whole bed was saturated. It was on the ceiling. So they found something else, though, as they looked around a bit more, they found a pair of men's underwear, a glove, a knife and a Pinkerton security hat.

Speaker 2:

Oh, my God yeah.

Speaker 1:

So this was when they knew that they probably should talk to Brian Gibson like at least a bit more.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

When they asked Brian if he would raise his shirt and show officers his stomach, he was very hesitant. It wasn't because he just had Mexican food. If somebody came up to me right now, I was like raise your shirt and be like get the fuck out of here you literally just said to me when you walked in so he was hesitant but, you know, eventually he obliged and he had scratches all over his stomach.

Speaker 1:

He also had blood on his stomach. The injury that Brian had gotten during this so-called you know scuffle was on his hand. So, like, unless he lifted his shirt and like wiped the blood off on his stomach he really didn't make a lot of sense why there was blood on his stomach, but you know he also was missing a belt. There was also a belt found at Jennifer's place too.

Speaker 2:

Oh geez.

Speaker 1:

And what's more was that he wasn't wearing any underpants.

Speaker 2:

Huh, A missing underpants. Actually, earlier in the story you said that there was a pair of underpants that were found, which is lucky because now he can borrow those underpants. No, you can't.

Speaker 1:

No, those are evidence. You can't.

Speaker 2:

No, those are now considered evidence. You silly goose.

Speaker 1:

Oh, another fun fact he had completely shaved all of his pubic hair off, which is like In 95, like I think, yeah, you would have noticed that.

Speaker 2:

You would have noticed the things you wouldn't have.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that was all the right. People were like how many pubes do you have? A million, oh, check this out so you know. Like when they saw no pubes, or like Whoa red flag here. Yeah, red flag.

Speaker 2:

Excuse me, sir, I'm not. Where are all the pubes?

Speaker 1:

That's what I would have said, Sir. We have a couple of questions.

Speaker 2:

Mainly 19 of them are pubes related.

Speaker 1:

Look at this cover of Demi Moore. Where's all that on you, you know, not to mention if you looked at Brian like your first thought when you're looking at Brian is you're not like. This guy has a fucking meticulous shower regime.

Speaker 2:

Right yeah, this guy.

Speaker 1:

This guy is fucking, I bet you, from the nose down, fearless cat.

Speaker 2:

He is a swimmer, he must be a swimmer.

Speaker 1:

And if all that isn't enough, of course. You know Brian was missing his pinkered in hat which is part of his uniform. And can we just take a quick minute here and realize? That this man decided to take precautions such as shaving his pubes. He cut the power to her apartment.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

But then he forgot his underpants and the hat with his employer's name on it.

Speaker 2:

Besides fact that he forgot his work hat, he took his work hat there.

Speaker 1:

He didn't even take his pubes.

Speaker 2:

That you should have left the hat with the pubes.

Speaker 1:

And the underpants were covered in poor Jennifer's blood. They were covered in his blood. Oh God this man was a fucking walking DNA sample.

Speaker 2:

Oh, but no pubes. They couldn't run a single view for that place. Oh God, looking for a Persian cat, I think.

Speaker 1:

After Jennifer had recovered in the hospital, she clearly couldn't bear the thought of going back to that fucking apartment, Probably because they just, you know put him on afternoon shift.

Speaker 2:

He's the sign of the guard shack.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he's not going to bug people if they're just after lunch Like you're reimbursed, if you like.

Speaker 2:

Your apartment gets soaked in blood from an attack.

Speaker 1:

Well, here's the deal. She went and fucking, took her shit and said I'm never coming back.

Speaker 2:

So probably lose some outfits if your closet doors were open. Right, you wouldn't wear that ever again, would you? I mean?

Speaker 1:

it might look kind of cool. She's a lawyer, like her, outfits are probably pretty expensive.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

They'd probably look cool, like you mean, with like blood splatter on them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like there's an artist that I know that she paints in jeans and she always kind of wipes the paintbrush on her thigh area and it just no like her between her knee, above her knee and it just it looks kind of cool.

Speaker 1:

That happened to my mom once, but it wasn't so much paint, she was like standing at the photocopy or at work and she thought she was like running the back of her pen up and down her pants and really she was just like drawing big circles.

Speaker 2:

Awesome.

Speaker 1:

Awesome At her office job. Oh, what are you circling? So you know, she went, she got her stuff and she said Baka. Bayou Park complex. So Brian Wayne Gibson. He was 26 at the time that he attacked Jennifer and he was sentenced to only 20 years for attempted murder, which always pisses me off, because it's like if she didn't have the fucking fight in her and the will to live, then you would have done what you came here to do.

Speaker 1:

It's not that you were rights you know, and you didn't have any fucking morals that were like no, you know what, we're not going to murder her.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, if you leave somebody for death, that should be the end of it.

Speaker 1:

The dude's fucking trimming off his pubes Probably. If I can fucking just judge a book by its cover, for a second probably, just like in the driver's seat of a van, if I can judge a book by its cover, the biggest fan you've shaped down in the van. I just don't think that Brian was all lathered up. He was probably like, oh, I've got to get this Now. This is the 90s.

Speaker 2:

Like what are we thinking? Clipper, wise scissors and then like a razor. Or do we think, like there was no like hair, like clippers?

Speaker 1:

I mean maybe tweezers or Nair. He's taken out the fucking root and everything.

Speaker 2:

He's like oh my God, but I will fucking leave my hat with all my fucking hair follicles in it at the scene, moron.

Speaker 1:

So of course you know Jennifer suffered horribly from PTSD because of this.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no shit.

Speaker 1:

She would move in with her mother and after leaving the Bayou Park apartments she would often hear noises and this would result in her calling the police. And she would also patrol her mother's house until sunrise, when she would feel better about going to sleep.

Speaker 2:

That's sad, I mean. I mean you shouldn't be bugging the police, but also, like you've been through so much shit, you don't blame her and you know what?

Speaker 1:

She had been through a lot of shit and she was super cute to. So the police are smiling, it's okay.

Speaker 2:

Oh my God, hi, hey Jen, what's up?

Speaker 1:

So you know, after some time Jennifer would meet and fall in love with a man and she would end up marrying him. Oh, and our good friend Richard Everett, the 911 operator who helped Jennifer that night, would be invited to her wedding.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I could cry. I love that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. So Jennifer ended up filing a lawsuit against Pinkerton security, as it would turn out, between 1991 and 1995. They had hired 130 security guards that were employed with them and also had a felony on their record.

Speaker 2:

Oh, my God yeah.

Speaker 1:

So also at that time that Brian Gibson was hired in 1992, he was making $5.25 an hour, which was only a dollar above minimum wage. And I mean, you know that shouldn't mean anything Like you shouldn't be like I only make $5.

Speaker 2:

I mean you should do what you do want to incentivize people.

Speaker 1:

Right. So that's kind of the thing, like let's not rape and murder anybody ever. But also maybe we pay our people that we're expecting to protect like fucking dozens of families a little bit better yeah. But still, if you're not getting paid that much, don't.

Speaker 2:

Also, with a higher wage, you probably are going to get more of a higher caliber candidate, maybe a little more few years on the job, maybe also, maybe if this guy is fucking getting complaints left, right in center, we're not going to put him in someone's home.

Speaker 1:

So they ended up settling with Jennifer for an undisclosed amount of money, but with that money Jennifer ended up opening her own family law practice. Oh good for her. I tried looking up exactly how much time Brian Gibson ended up serving, because you know it was in 20 years, but I couldn't find too much. He is out. He does have to register as a sex offender and he's still in Texas. From what I could tell, I think it's Magnolia, texas.

Speaker 1:

Okay and that is the incredible survival story of Jennifer Mori and I hope that you know she's living her absolute best life.

Speaker 1:

And it just kind of reminded me of like Something that Oscar pastoria said when I've covered his case and it's like as much as I don't really want to lean into things that Oscar pastoria said to say Then I quote killers yeah, but he did say like the reason he, you know, had all these fears of somebody breaking in was because he said it just takes one guard to not be a good guy and all of a sudden your whole fucking Empire is at stake. You know what I mean, yeah and that's exactly what happened to poor Jennifer here.

Speaker 2:

Wow.

Speaker 1:

So that's that case fucking crazy.

Speaker 2:

Like how is the company does so much oversight?

Speaker 1:

There's our lack of oversight, rather and she just, he just kept getting fucking complaints. And I looked at one picture of him and I was like that guy's a fucking rapist.

Speaker 2:

Like I never want to judge a book by its guilty, he's a raper.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, his book is called. I'm a fucking dirty, so I think we can.

Speaker 2:

Yes, the content of that. Yeah, I hope she's living her best life and he has some sort of and she's still she's gorgeous, but she still has, of course, a big scar down her neck.

Speaker 1:

They actually, when she went to the hospital, they said that it looked like a second mouth. Wow yeah, so that's a lot.

Speaker 2:

Wow, I love a good.

Speaker 1:

I love a good survival story and I am going to do you know the story of Mary Vincent.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Why did he do that? Well, he couldn't get out of the fuck. It was his own house, though.

Speaker 1:

He just didn't try.

Speaker 2:

There's a back door. Why didn't he go out? Yeah, he wasn't thinking.

Speaker 1:
