N o o m.com content warning this episode contains discussion of murder, kidnapping and violence. So today's cheat sheet will include cases from actually a number of cases spanning different states, but these include Oklahoma, Kansas, our own home state of Indiana, Nevada and Pennsylvania. My name is Anya Cain, I'm a journalist.
- [02:58]
Kevin Greenlee
And I'm Kevin Greenlee. I'm an attorney.
- [03:01]
Anya Cain
And this is the Murder Sheet.
- [03:03]
Kevin Greenlee
We're a true crime podcast focused on original reporting, interviews, and deep dives into murder cases.
- [03:10]
Anya Cain
We're the Murder Sheet and this is the cheat sheet. Pictures and pastures. So today's episode was completely compiled by me. We're kind of dividing up our cheat sheet duties, I feel recently, just because we are putting a lot of time into running the podcast while also writing a book.
- [04:16]
Kevin Greenlee
Yeah. So the best case scenario is each of us would pick and prepare two cases per cheat sheet episode. But because of book writing duties, we are temporarily taking a break from that. I think last week I did all four cases. This week you're stepping up to the plate. This is an all Anya Cain prepared episode.
- [04:39]
Anya Cain
Yes.
- [04:40]
Kevin Greenlee
Thank you for stepping up to that place.
- [04:42]
Anya Cain
I'm happy to do it. Gotta do it. And you know, normally we're both running two legs of the real life, and now we're both just running an entire race by ourselves. So we're, we're living life and also.
- [04:53]
Kevin Greenlee
Doing lots of interviews for the book and interviews for the podcast, which you will be hearing soon.
- [04:57]
Anya Cain
Yeah, our book is about the Delphi murders case. And of course that's Shadow of the Bridge. It's coming out in August. We'll include, we're including pre order links in all of our show notes now. So please pre order. Pre orders are super important. Apparently we've never done a book before, so I don't know all the ins and outs, but we have been told this. And so I'm conveying this to you guys. I think it's going to be a really interesting and hopefully helpful book about the Delphi murders case. So check it out. So for my first case that. Okay, well, here's the thing about the cases I picked. I didn't actually pick them. They were actually recommended to us by listeners. So each four of these was. Was a listener recommendation. Thanks in advance to all of you who reached out about these cases.
- [05:42]
Kevin Greenlee
You saved on you some work, saved.
- [05:43]
Anya Cain
Me some work, saved me some thinking, and saved me some brain cells. For that I'm very grateful. And I think these, I think you all picked some interesting ones and, you know, just keep them coming. So my source for this first one, it's an Indiana case, was Wish tv. This is some recent coverage from them as well as I, you know, I gotta love newspapers dot com. It gave me a husband, it's given me some interesting information. And, you know, this is reporting from The Journal and Courier, the Associated Press, the Tipton County Tribune, the Herald Times and the Call Leader. And those all access through newspapers.com just getting some of that context, it's, it's one, I mean it's a subscription worth its weight in gold just from allowing me to meet my, the love of my life. But also it's really helpful when you're trying to like dig into some of these cases. So just a recommendation, this is the disappearance, unsolved disappearance of 18 year old Marina Bolter. To give you a description of her just because she is missing. She it was 5 foot 3 white woman, 120 pounds with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. And she vanished in 2014 actually on New Year's Eve. So December 31, 2014. So some background on Marina. She lived in Ohio for some time with her father. And remember, she's only 18. Then she moved to Bloomfield, which is the seat of Greene County. It's a county in southwestern Indiana. It's not that far from Bloomington, where Indiana University Kevin's alma mater is. And so Marina went there to live with her mother who lived around there. She was a mother herself. She had a nine month old son. He did not live with her at the time. In press interviews, her family alluded to some struggles that Marina had, but they noted that she was really working hard to get her life back on track. And part of that meant working at the grocery deli at the IGA grocery store on U.S. 231 south, which is south of Bloomfield. She'd been working there for about six months. So cut to around 6pm on New Year's Eve 2014. Marina is last seen walking across a gravel parking lot at the gas station outside of iga. I wish I could automate all my New Year's resolutions so I wouldn't have to muster the willpower to go on a walk for exercise. Or if I could automatically kick myself off my phone and launch a Margaret Millar book into my hands instead, that would be awesome. Somewhat scary, but super helpful, but you.

Acorns Advisors LLC and SEC registered investment advisor view important disclosures@acorns.commsheet and the witness who saw her was 22 year old DJ Lockhart. That's a former boyfriend of Marina's and he claims he offered her a ride but she declined and she instead got into a car with a middle aged man that he did not recognize and they drove off. She's never seen again as of January 10, 2015. Sergeant Kurt Durnel of the Indiana State Police said his agency had not been called in to assist. That did seemingly change later though. The family went public in the press in in the few press articles that were out there noting that they did not believe Lockhart's story and they proceeded to search for her themselves. They created a Facebook group called Find Marina Bolter. It was a GoFundMe. The Indiana State Police did discourage the unofficial search because they felt that anything possibly discovered in that could cause chain of custody issues if there was any evidence.
- [10:55]
Kevin Greenlee
So what does that mean?
- [10:56]
Anya Cain
No, that's what I'm going to ask you. I'm throwing it to you, Kevin. You're the, you're the lawyer here. So what is a chain of. Why would that be a concern for police volunteers going out and searching for someone who may be the victim of a crime and they're not involved in the search. Why would. What's the issue with chain of custody there?
- [11:17]
Kevin Greenlee
Let's come up with an example that is not so horrible. Let's say some people suspect that you have been stealing cereal. And maybe the people who suspect this are youtubers who don't like you. And maybe they formed a Facebook group saying Anya is a serial thief. And let's say they figured out a way that they can somehow gain access to the shed in your backyard and they're going to search it. Now, would any court put much legitimacy in that search? Because for one reason, these people may have cause to have a grudge against you. They've indicated they don't like you, they don't trust you. If they find anything, isn't it possible that maybe it's not entirely accurate or on the up and up? Or is it also just possible that maybe, maybe they are good people with integrity, they wouldn't fake evidence against you, but maybe they've mishandled something, Maybe they've done something to the evidence that shouldn't be done with the evidence.
- [12:28]
Anya Cain
Or like a defense attorney could have a field day because it's like, well, your fingerprints are all over the cereal box. Maybe you stole it and planted it there. Even if that's unlikely, it could cause problems for a jury.
- [12:38]
Kevin Greenlee
Yeah, the fingerprints of the searcher could be on there. So there's all sorts of issues. This is why it makes sense when you're doing a search of this nature to have professionals handling it, because they have to follow very strict rules of evidence to protect the integrity of the evidence. Does that make sense at all? Am I just babbling?
- [13:00]
Anya Cain
You're not babbling. You're very well spoken. And I think this is something where I really understand both sides of it. Because when you're a family member and your baby is missing, you know this 18 year old young woman is gone. I think most people would have the instinct, understandably and in some cases perhaps correctly, to turn over every stone, go out on every road, just look, look, look, find her. That's where you want to be putting your energy from the perspective of police. I think in a disappearance like this, it's not as if Marina was like in a park or in a specific area or on a hiking trail and we know where she was and then she went missing. So let's look in this area. We have a starting point of where she could be. The story is she gets in a car and then she's Gone. She could be anywhere. Very difficult to search for someone in that. There's no real starting point except for perhaps the gas station. And I think that is where perhaps they're not. They didn't put, you know, a search together themselves because it's like, where are we even going to look? This, it's a waste of resources and it's like from the family's perspective, it's, you know, we're going to do it anyway. So I really understand both sides of that. There's the emotional side of the family and then there's the more practical side of law enforcement. But anyways, so this, I guess this new year marks 10 years because this was, you know, 2014 into 2015. Now we're 2024 into 2025. That's wild. That 2014 was 10 years ago. Geez.
- [14:38]
Kevin Greenlee
Actually 2014 is now 11 years ago.
- [14:40]
Anya Cain
11. Wow. It's just, you know, it's, it's wild. But in terms of, but this, you know, this is kind of. We just passed the anniversary. Marina never showed up for her shift the next day. She's never been seen since. This not been any sightings that I'm aware of from the press coverage at least. And things got a little weirder from there.
- [15:01]
Kevin Greenlee
What happened?
- [15:03]
Anya Cain
So the Journal and Courier reported on February 15, 2015. So not too long after her disappearance.
- [15:10]
Kevin Greenlee
Six weeks.
- [15:11]
Anya Cain
Yeah. Lockhart was found dead.
- [15:13]
Kevin Greenlee
And Lockhart again is the boyfriend.
- [15:15]
Anya Cain
Ex boyfriend.
- [15:16]
Kevin Greenlee
Ex boyfriend. Said he saw her that night, tried to give her a ride. She refused.
- [15:20]
Anya Cain
Yes. Sergeant Durnel said to the paper that he had been found dead of a stab wound to the heart.
- [15:28]
Kevin Greenlee
Is there any indication of whether this was self inflicted or a homicide?
- [15:33]
Anya Cain
I could not find that in the newspaper accounts from what I saw. But certainly a disturbing twist to this whole obviously very sad thing.
- [15:44]
Kevin Greenlee
I'm just now finding out about this case for the first time. But it occurs to me you could, there could be a situation where it's self inflicted and does it out of remorse. Or it could be a situation where someone believes falsely that he is responsible for a crime of which he is innocent and they murder him.
- [16:02]
Anya Cain
Or I mean it really could be anything. It could be someone completely unrelated or something completely unrelated or if, if there was some kind of thing that he was involved in and it, it caused harm to befall her and then the people caught up with him. I mean like it, it's almost impossible to speculate because there's almost so many ways that could go. But if you happen to have any information or Tips for related to this case. If you knew these folks, if you're, if you know someone who may have said something that kind of seems more suspicious now that you've heard this story, you can go to Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana. That's 317-262-8477 or, or you can call state Police Detective Kent roefling at 812-332-4411. And I do apologize if I pronounced that man's name wrong. But yeah, this is a, this is a sad case and I think these kind of cases, it's important not to forget about them. So let's talk about another case where this is not unsolved, it's ongoing and it got a lot of, it also involved a disappearance, but the victims have been found and it got a lot of, I think national attention for a while and it kind of touched upon some weird legal issues or. I don't even know how to describe it. I would, I'm going to be very curious to get your take, Kevin, but this is what this was. The disappearance and murder of 27 year old Veronica Butler and 39 year old Jillian Kelly. So these are two women who were driving in the Oklahoma Panhandle. Butler was the, the mother of two children and Kelly was a pastor's wife who was sort of helping out with this situation. The children were 6 and 8 and there was supposed to be a, an exchange. So these two women are driving from Hugonton, Kansas going into Oklahoma. Kelly, the Kelly, the pastor's wife, was supposed to supervise this visit. It was just sort of, you know, you're kind of a custody battle situation and those can obviously get, you know, pretty contentious. But the meetup was normally in a more, you know, I think a different place. But this time it was scheduled for a dirt road that intersected with State Highway 95. And it's in the middle of nowhere. It's, it's like, it's, it's remote, it's rural again, it's a dirt road. So unfortunately this, this meeting was not in fact and exchange to sort of lead to a visitation with these children. It was a trap. The people involved in this heinous crime, the people allegedly involved in, I should say are 54 year old Tiffany Adams, Tad Bert Cullum, which is her boyfriend, a couple named Cole and Cora Twoley, and then a fifth man, a fifth person named Paul Grice. And this was a situation where Adams had custody of the children. Again, it's this whole custody battle situation and, and hated Butler and wanted to kill her and wanted to eliminate whatever witness was going to be there to supervise. So they waited for these women and then they brutally beat Butler with a hammer, stabbed her to death, stabbed Kelly to death. The women were screaming. You know, Butler was trying to fight back, but they were overpowered and killed. And then they were. Their bodies were put in a freezer and buried in a sort of a pre dug hole in a pasture. And what's really heartbreaking is that as they arrived there, Adams told Butler that there's this kind of like trailer nearby where Grice was hiding, ready to kill them. And she told them that the kids were in the trailer with a baby calf that they wanted to show Butler. So she kind of goes inside thinking she's going to see these kids and then the baby calf, and instead it's a man armed with a stun gun and a hammer and a knife who's going to kill her. And so one kind of thing that kind of came up as this was investigated, the bodies were. They went missing in March. The bodies were found April 14. And it came out that the people involved in this were part of a group that was sort of like kind of a, kind of a combination between like a prayer group and like a political discussion group with about like 15 or so people called God's Misfits. And what came out that was somewhat interesting and got some discussion was that it seems to be linked to this sort of sovereign citizen movement.
- [21:13]
Kevin Greenlee
What's this sovereign citizens movement of which you speak?
- [21:16]
Anya Cain
I'm, I'm not, I'm, I'm asking. I'm, I'm kind of throwing it to you. I guess I'll, I'll describe it and I'll be curious to get your take on this. So what sovereign citizens are is that they believe that they're exempt from laws in the United States. They just, they think, I mean, this is not true. They think that they, they just don't have the, the federal government, and I guess government in general doesn't have domain over them. And they, you know, they tend to be very much embedded in the sort of fringe conspiracy theorist movements. I think there are several different flavors of sovereign citizens and ideologies that kind of like lead to that. I don't, I don't think it's necessarily relegated to one side or another. I think this can kind of come from a few angles, but that is what. So I guess, Kevin, as a lawyer, if I decided to stand up in the middle of our local Walmart and declare myself a sovereign citizen, free from the shackles of our government overlords and then proceeded to load up the cart with, you know, 10 or so excellent boxes of cornflakes, my favorite, and walk out. Is that going to suit me? Well, in a court of, like, am I going to. Is that all I have to do to just get away with it?
- [22:38]
Kevin Greenlee
No. You can't unilaterally secede from the country and form your own one woman country where I guess your territory travels with you when you walk.
- [22:48]
Anya Cain
Yeah, it does. Yeah, that's how it works, babe. Sorry.
- [22:51]
Kevin Greenlee
Yeah, it's. It's ludicrous. You're. You're still subject to the laws of this country.
- [22:59]
Anya Cain
So what do you make of people thinking otherwise? I just don't understand this. I don't even understand the mentality. It's like some people just need to be so contrarian and so like that. It's like they just like. They like. It's just like a supernova of entitlement. I don't even know.
- [23:19]
Kevin Greenlee
It reminds me, in a way of an old comic book story. Many things remind me of old comic book stories. Ladies and gentlemen, this reminds me of an old comic book story by Don Rosa called, I believe, his majesty, Scrooge McDuck. What?
- [23:35]
Anya Cain
Where's. Okay, go ahead.
- [23:37]
Kevin Greenlee
In this story, which I'm butchering because I haven't read it for many years, Scrooge McDuck, basically, through plot contortions, he declares himself some flavor of the sovereign citizen. He's now his own country.
- [23:50]
Anya Cain
Scrooge McDuck was a sovereign citizen.
- [23:53]
Kevin Greenlee
I'm simplifying it. I'm simplifying it. But he basically declares himself his own. He doesn't need the government anymore. He's his own government. And that presents problems for him, because then if someone comes, for instance, and steals things from his money bin, who is going to pursue them? Because if he's not part of this country, he doesn't get to enjoy the police or other services. I always think that people who declare themselves separate from the United States don't really realize. Yes, as citizens of the United States, we have lots of burdens and responsibilities. We have to pay probably more taxes than we would like. We have to obey some laws, maybe that we don't like. We also get a number of services, and they're very valuable. And I. I think it's a pretty good trade. I. I think Scrooge McDuck does return to Duckburg.
- [24:47]
Anya Cain
Is Duck Burdick in the United States?
- [24:50]
Kevin Greenlee
It's in the state of Calisota.
- [24:52]
Anya Cain
Okay.
- [24:52]
Kevin Greenlee
But I think we're digressing.
- [24:54]
Anya Cain
I'm sorry. Yeah, I just wanted to. Anyways, that was a really good example. Thank you for bringing that up. And. And those. Those comics are quite fun, actually. You introduce them to me or introduce me to them. What am I talking about? Anyways, let's get back to the case. Yeah. The sovereign citizen movement is incredibly stupid, and it's filled with stupid and entitled people. I know our friend Brett from the Prosecutors often has a hearty chuckle at the expense of the sovereign citizens online. I know. He.
- [25:20]
Kevin Greenlee
I'm looking. Anya did prepare notes for all these things, and her notes for this subject actually say sovereign citizens movement. Dash. Stupid.
- [25:34]
Anya Cain
I'm just. Sorry.
- [25:35]
Kevin Greenlee
So, thanks for the context. Thanks for sending me success.
- [25:38]
Anya Cain
There's some political movements and ramifications where I'm like, I don't agree with that personally, but I can understand where they're coming from. And then this is. This is just like, what if we make believe really hard? And it's like. And inevitably these people are doing crimes, often heinous crimes, or sometimes at least heinous crimes. And. And then they're like, you know, like, there's always, like, sound like, oh, I'm standing up in court. And like, no, your laws can't touch me. I'm a sovereign citizen. Like, you're just gonna, like, somehow, like. Like, you know, I don't know, like, get out of there, so teleport away. And everyone's gonna be like, oh, you know, the prosecutor's gonna throw down his binder. Damn it, they got us this time. It's a sovereign citizen. I mean, what do these people think is gonna happen? I don't know. Anyways, I guess they thought that they were going to be able to get away with this murder also through just hiding the bodies, kind of doing all this. They left a lot of DNA. Bryce cut himself on the knife and actually managed to stun gun himself in the process. And there were. They. They dumped the clothing, some of the clothing they used in the ca. In the murders, in the. In the grave, in this burial site with them in this pasture. And of course, you know, the victim's DNA is all over it. Their DNA is all over it. There's like, receipts from Tractor Supply and Standard Supply and Walmart showing who purchased this. And the ringleader appears to be Adams. I don't know if I explained this well enough. She's the grandmother to the children. Butler is the mother. There's contention. Grice talks about Adams, like, cackling as they're attacking these women, it's like a very disturbing and upsetting scene. Now, what's going on now is kind of pretrial stuff. So this is a situation where a number of them have made deals with the prosecution in exchange for sort of testimony. Can you talk about that? Like what sort of the kind of thought or I guess rules are with that, you know, because obviously a lot of these people are. Did something really horrible when a. When a prosecutor, when a prosecution team is looking at something like this, why can it be important or necessary to make deals with some of the people who did something horrible in exchange for testimony in a case like this where it's kind of a conspiracy?
- [27:58]
Kevin Greenlee
Well, in a conspiracy, it's. You often have in a conspiracy, a person who actually did the deed. Let's say Anya has a Baker Street Irregulars type of situation where she has convinced neighborhood children to go and steal things from different grocery stores. So the neighborhood children are the ones who are actually stealing the cereal. But Anya is the one who's basically the ringleader, the one behind it all, the one who is creating the axe, which, in creating the need and planning it all, and she's the one making it happen. So what you would do in that situation is maybe you'd have one of the neighborhood children say, well, I'd be willing to testify that Anya was the one that supplied me with the plans and told me what to do if you charge me with a lesser crime. And so in other words, you try to get the people in the outer rings, who even some of whom may have done some bad things, you get them to flip and turn over evidence against the people closer to the center. Does that make sense?
- [29:03]
Anya Cain
It does. And that's not Baker Street Irregulars. That's like, I'm Fagan in that situation.
- [29:08]
Kevin Greenlee
Pardon me. You're Fagan.
- [29:09]
Anya Cain
Jeez. Well, thanks a lot.
- [29:12]
Kevin Greenlee
It's very late and I'm tired.
- [29:15]
Anya Cain
So you know that this is all kind of ongoing. So, you know, Cora Tumbli also has testified in exchange for a 30 year sentence. They're saying Adams came up with this idea. She convinced Grice that the children were being abused and kind of got him all riled up against Butler. Kelly was just the person there at the wrong time. And. And Grace says he now realizes he was lied to about Butler and that his anger at her was misplaced and that Adams was just trying to get him to kill her. And that she essentially said she ran out of money to fight the custody battle and that's what precipitated all this horrible stuff. So it's obviously a very tragic and upsetting case. And you know, my, my, just so you know, my, my sources for this were a kwch kjrh, a great opinion piece from the Kansas reflector and in depth article from the Oklahoman will be including all those links in our show notes so you can read more, get more context.
- [30:13]
Kevin Greenlee
And some people, of course obviously don't like it when prosecutors make deals like that. But especially when you have a conspiracy, most of the conspiring is sometimes something that's done in the shadows. And if you want to get the people who are really responsible for it, you have to make those sorts of deals and make those sorts of arrangements, even if they can be somewhat distasteful.
- [30:34]
Anya Cain
Yeah, I'm, I'm comfortable with focusing a lot of the energy on the person who basically started it, which in this case the allegations and the evidence seems to be pointing at Adams being a main instigator. So yeah, it doesn't bother me. I understand why some people are uncomfortable with it though.
- [30:52]
Kevin Greenlee
Right.
- [30:54]
Anya Cain
The next case spans much like the other one where you know, you had victims traveling from Kansas and getting ambushed and killed in Oklahoma. This one also spans a few states, starts in Bethel park in Pennsylvania, which is near Pittsburgh. So there's a, there's a residence there and a man coming and going for from that residence. His name is John Matthew chapman. He was 44 years old. And neighbors noted that for some time in back in 2019 because they recognized that he was the boyfriend of the resident or at least the on again, off again boyfriend. But they have saw no sign of a woman name Jamie Fedden. Jamie was 33 years old. But the thing is, you know, people in her life did note that her Facebook messenger was active. She was responding to things seemingly, or at least her account was, but she just was nowhere to be found. So some information about Jamie Fedden she had now. Well, the press has reported it as Vader syndrome, which is V A T E R Vader syndrome. And my understanding is that this, this thing was originally called that, but now it's called the bactural association. And this is a group of birth defects. It's not really a syndrome. It's kind of a cluster of things and it's, there's no really known specific chromosomal or genetic situation here. It's just multiple factors and it can cause vertebral, anal, cardiac, trachea, esophageal, renal, slash, kidney and limb defects. It can be more common in children with diabetic mothers. But it's. Again, I don't know if there's a lot of insight into what causes this. And my. My reading on this indicated that most people who have this have typical intellectual development as well. So, you know, not. I mean, there can be exceptions, but that's what I read at least. But anyway, this is something affecting multiple body symptoms in Jamie kind of manifested itself as. She appeared very. She was very small, and some people thought she looked like a little kid or a little girl, not a grown woman. And actually, KDK did a really interesting interview with her because she was not. She was denied access to the Meadows Casino. She tried to get in, but she forgot her id and they believed that she was a child and would not let her in. And she felt that this was discriminatory because she was, in fact, an adult woman, a grown woman. So she. She talked to them about that and about dealing with, you know, factorial association, or what she called Vader syndrome. And so this is. This is her. So she was. She was indeed an adult woman. She was dating Chapman, who was from Oakland, Maryland. And I will note, though Chapman was married, that their relationship was on and off. So, you know, this goes on for a while. She's not really appearing. She's on messenger, seemingly. November 14, 2019, rolls around, and her friends call in a welfare check. The Bethel Park Police Department go inside, and they also interview neighbors. And the neighbors tell them they've not seen her for two months, but they have seen her boyfriend. Inside the residence, they find identification cards with Chapman's name and photograph, as well as the victim's phone, as well as zip ties and duct tape. The following day, police arrest Chapman and he confesses to them. He says that in September of that year, he told Jamie that they were going to go on a vacation and maybe buy a house in Las Vegas, but that he. He, in fact, he was doing this because he wanted to kill her. And he was searching things like, what is the perfect place to dump bodies? Dump plus body plus Nevada. And how can I successfully dump a dead body without being caught? This is all in his search history. So they go to a. You know, he says that he and Jamie went to the desert in Lincoln County, Nevada. He claimed that they were going to do a bondage photo shoot, and he used that pretext to tie her to a signpost with plastic ties. He duct taped her mouth and nose and watched her asphyxiate and took pictures as she did. And he. He told police he killed her for the money and Then proceeded to pose as her on facebook for months and live in her house. So this happened a while ago, but there was actually just a jury trial. In May 2024, Chapman was found guilty of one count of kidnapping. And the one thing that was interesting I thought was that this was actually a federal jury. Do you want to. Do you have any, like, insight into, like, you know, I mean. Well, I mean, obviously, because there was the crossing of state lines, she was kidnapped in Pennsylvania and murdered in Nevada. Now, I have a question, Kevin. If Jamie went willingly with Chapman from Pennsylvania to Nevada, why is that still considered a kidnapping?
- [36:00]
Kevin Greenlee
Well, it sounds like he actually lured her there under false pretenses. And if you are tricking someone to go somewhere, I mean, that's essentially kidnapping.
- [36:12]
Anya Cain
Okay. The FBI, the lincoln county Sherry's sheriff's office in Nevada, and the bethel park police department all investigated the case. And the one the prosecutors on this were assistant United states attorneys Penelope brady, Megan rachow, and Stephen rose. So this is obviously, you know, pretty vicious and horrible crime. And just this, August Chapman was sentenced to life imprisonment. And he got. And this was, of course, on the one count of kidnapping resulting in death, and he got the maximum sentence from u. S. District judge James c. Mahan. So, yeah, horrible case. Kind of an unconventional kidnapping in the way that it's not. You don't necessarily need to forcibly abduct somebody in order for it to be considered a kidnapping, nor. Nor do you have to go very far. I mean, in this case, they did. They went quite far from Pennsylvania to Nevada. But, you know, there's cases where, like, if I force somebody to cross, you know, into. From one part of the house to another, that's. That's still kidnapping, right? Yeah, so it's, it's. It's a legal thing. It's not necessarily always what you picture.
- [37:22]
Kevin Greenlee
But yeah, if you do it by fraud or enticement or.
- [37:26]
Anya Cain
Yeah, any of that could be kidnapping.
- [37:28]
Kevin Greenlee
We, We've talked, obviously, on this program, as you're all well aware, we've covered extensively the Delphi case. And in that case, the victims were kidnapped by Richard allen, who just made them go down a hill a very short distance. And that kind of did kidnapping go.
- [37:45]
Anya Cain
Down a hill and then across a creek. And yeah, they're in the same general area, but yeah, it's not really about distance. My sources for this were trib live, the pittsburgh post gazette, wtrf, and CBS Pittsburgh, and kdk and the associated press. And then this next one takes us back to Kansas, actually. So we're going back to Kansas. Sources for this were CJ online and I'm also including a link to a change.org petition that I want to ask you about. So this is a case where it's kind of more, I picked this one because it's a little bit more of a Kevin case. You like the cases where there's like some kind of, no one intended to kill anybody. Like it's more of like something happened and then what happens afterwards. So on October 8, 2022, there was a, a horrific car crash. What happened was a woman named Amber Peary was driving on the Kansas Turnpike south of Topeka and they were going to a Girl Scouts event. So she was in the car with a bunch of little girls. So some like there's a bunch of also Girl Scouts, I guess parents driving in almost like a convoy a little bit like they're all kind of driving one way and they, they end up getting off the wrong ramp. And a number of them make an illegal U turn through an opening in a concrete barrier to get back on track. Two others in, or at least two other drivers in this kind of group did. And when Peri did it, she got hit. Her car got hit by a semi truck and nine year old Kyle Lunn, nine year old Layla El Azra Anasari and eight year old Brooklyn Peary, her daughter all died. Two survivors were nine year old Gabriella Casas and her other daughter, five year old Carrington Perry. So obviously a very, very tragic outcome to this, to this decision. Now people in the community seem to be split. There was a change.org petition', we asked for mercy on behalf of Amber Peary, got 881 signatures. People said that, you know, she was, you know, at this point she had, you know, when this came up, she had already been convicted and incarcerated for three counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of aggravated battery. You know, they say she has two surviving children. Taking their mother away for any period of time doesn't bring anyone back. It doesn't, you know, it's, it's horrible basically. So they, they're sort of, they were asking for mercy with the sentencing. But in November 2020, on November 22nd of this year, prosecutor Lauren E.M. ryan played a number of jailhouse calls from Perry. And she was complaining about unfairness of the whole thing. She said the jury was rigged. She said that the Shawnee County Jail was a, was essentially a two star hotel vacation. And she'd, you know, almost get out and kind of like, I think left a Pretty bad impression with a lot of people.
- [41:18]
Kevin Greenlee
Right.
- [41:20]
Anya Cain
Why is saying stuff like that on the eve of sentencing? I guess, or, you know, a. Like. Yeah.
- [41:29]
Kevin Greenlee
What. Should we talk about this petition first?
- [41:31]
Anya Cain
Well. Well, I wanted to bring up the petition because I know you love a good petition.
- [41:35]
Kevin Greenlee
I love a good petition.
- [41:36]
Anya Cain
You love one. So. Okay, let's talk about the petition. What do you want to say about that?
- [41:44]
Kevin Greenlee
I feel I've talked often on the program. Maybe not for a while, but I feel I have talked often. Back when I was in law school, I got an opportunity to work with a judge for a while, and that was an experience that was very formative for me and really change how I viewed the law and how I look at law. And one of the many cases we. One of the many cases that went on during that time was a case involving animal abuse, which I may have talked about on the program. I think I may have all sorts of wrinkles to it, but at one point, a number of people in the community had written the judge's letters, basically throw the book at this animal abuser. And I think, if my memory is correct, a group of school children had been told by their teacher, is a civic exercise, let's all write a letter to the judge telling them to throw the book at this animal abuser. And I remember the judge opening up to me this folder full of these letters, all of which he had read, and he said, none of this makes any difference to me. When he first said that, it was like, shouldn't it make a difference to you? Shouldn't you really consider what the community thinks? But then as he talked and explained it, I realized the point he was making is we put judges in this place because we trust their judgment. And we don't necessarily want a judge's opinion to be swayed by popular opinion. We don't want a judicial decision to be based on whoever is able to get most signatures on a petition. No, it should be based on the facts and the law, and you can express your opinion to a judge. There's no harm in that. But ultimately, we should trust the judges to form their decisions about sentencing or what have you, based on the facts and on the law and not on whatever happens to be popular at the time.
- [43:57]
Anya Cain
Does it shock you that Judge Jessica Heinen in this case basically dismissed the online petition at all, asking for mercy?
- [44:04]
Kevin Greenlee
I think that's the appropriate thing to do.
- [44:07]
Anya Cain
What's a. Do you think? I mean, I'm just curious. Like, is there. Because I understand people wanting to, like, raise their voices and get involved. Is there a way? I also think online petitions are pretty useless in these situations. Like, once we've gotten to the point where there's like a trial or a conviction, like, it's kind of, you know, good luck, basically. But I like the idea of people getting involved in raising their voices. Is there, like, a more useful thing to do in a situation like this where you're kind of like, I feel like I need to speak or raise awareness about an issue? Like, I mean, I'm worried, like, what? Is there a way to, like, redirect that energy?
- [44:42]
Kevin Greenlee
Well, here's the thing. The. The more valuable an effort is, the harder it is. It's very easy to sign an online petition or just push a button, so it doesn't really do much. If you really want to do something that makes a lasting difference, you have to get out there and do something more difficult. You know, if you feel the sentencing laws in this case are too extreme, form a group, lobby your local representative and have meetings with him and try to get him or her to pass a law changing it.
- [45:20]
Anya Cain
Or, like, volunteer with prisoners to try to make their lives better or something. Yes, right. Yeah. Most social media activism is just. It's. It's well intentioned. It just doesn't do much. So, you know, but I understand why. I understand why people would feel like, oh, I need to raise my voice. But, yeah, it. It's ne. I mean, it shouldn't sway a judge. Like, if we think, like, if I made a petition to be like, let Anya steal all the cereal, to use our stupid example, then, like, you know, like, I wouldn't. I mean, what. Wouldn't it be a really bad thing if the judge was like, yes, yes, excellent. You know, like, wouldn't that make you question, like, well, why does she get to do that? Like, like, you should be applying the law. If it's against the law to steal stuff. That should also apply to Anya Kane. You know, I. I mean, I. I'd love it if the judge would, you know, side with me, but, like, if I'm not being selfish, then that. That would. That would seem like a bad thing. Seemed pretty bad.
- [46:19]
Kevin Greenlee
And you. You also asked me about some of the comments she made before she was sentenced. That's like, imagine that I. Accident. Let's say I have a shed in the backyard full of my favorite comic books and I accidentally burn it down, and I want to convince you, Anya, to let me have the money to rebuild it and buy a bunch more comic books. Before I do that, I make lots of comments to other people, perhaps in other podcasts, complaining about you, complaining about the process or just saying that's not going to help my case. When I come to you and say anya, I've learned my lesson. Let me spend the household money on more comic books.
- [47:00]
Anya Cain
It's wild to me. And you hear this from a lot of people in law enforcement and prosecutors. Just like what people will say in a jailhouse call.
- [47:10]
Kevin Greenlee
Like you gotta, there's literally a voice.
- [47:13]
Anya Cain
Yes.
- [47:13]
Kevin Greenlee
At the beginning of the call saying this call is being recorded and monitored and people just don't pay attention to it or just becomes part of the, the background that they just tune out. But what you say gets heard and if you're saying bad things, you want to create a good impression before your sentence and you want to be repentant, you want to say, oh, I've learned my lesson. You don't want to be. Yeah.
- [47:37]
Anya Cain
And you know, you know like blaming Kansas highway patrol troopers, blaming the semi driver, blaming the other drivers who did the same thing but got away with it almost and blaming the people who built her car. You know, it doesn't sound like a.
- [47:50]
Kevin Greenlee
Person who is accepting responsibility and, and.
- [47:53]
Anya Cain
Her, I mean, I know her ex husband came out against her saying, talking about lack of remorse. She ended up getting 64 months and she's going to appeal that sentence. So it's five years essentially.
- [48:07]
Kevin Greenlee
I don't know about Kansas sentencing. Does Is this the 64 months mean? 64 months?
- [48:11]
Anya Cain
I, I don't know off the top of my head. My guess is no. You know, it is, it is a very sad story ultimately. I mean she did lose a daughter as well. I mean and you know, I imagine that this was making a dangerous and illegal u turn. You know, is, is, is bad but it's at the same time it's a situation where I'm sure the intent was not to kill all these kids, including one of her own children. I mean it's a horrible, horrible, horrible thing. But I can understand why the other families are, are angry, especially in light of some of her comments. It just, it seems like an all around tragedy and I don't know, it's just sad. I know she did express remorse at the sentencing. She apologized to the families and apologized for her comments and you know, I don't, I don't know what's in her heart. So I don't know if there is a lack of remorse there or if there is remorse and she just said something stupid and, and selfish in the moment. I just don't Know, it's just, it's, it's an awful case all around. But, but anyways, now we've kind of. Did you want to say anything else about that?
- [49:20]
Kevin Greenlee
No.
- [49:21]
Anya Cain
Now we can kind of get to the end. And again, we mentioned this up at the top, but we are writing a book, Shadow of the Bridge. It is about the Delphi murders. We would appreciate it so much if you purchased that, pre ordered it.
- [49:38]
Kevin Greenlee
I think you've said you're going to work up some sort of scheme.
- [49:40]
Anya Cain
There's a scheme.
- [49:41]
Kevin Greenlee
There's a scheme afoot that if people pre order, they'll get like a signed name plate or something.
- [49:47]
Anya Cain
Book plate. Yeah, I'd like to. You know, I think that could be fun. If you pre order it, I'm going to work out a system where we can kind of get you assigned book plate because then, you know, you can have our signatures in it and I don't know, I thought that was fun. But we, yeah, we're really excited about it. It's going to come out in August, so if you pre order it, it'll be a little bit before you get it, but I think it'll be worth the wait and I think it'll be, you know, worth purchasing it. We'd, it would mean a lot to us and we'd really appreciate it. And we're, we're pouring a lot of ourselves into this book. So we're, we're hoping to do this case justice in it. And if you, if you can pre order, pre order it, just, just. Thank you so much. And now let's have a different kind of ad. Oh, and the pre order links will be in our show notes. I think it's on bookshop.org it's on Amazon, it's on, it's through Simon Schuster websites. There's a couple of different, different places you can get it at this point. Anyways, now let's talk about another product that we're selling.
- [50:44]
Kevin Greenlee
What product is this, Anya?
- [50:45]
Anya Cain
It's the product of shirts. Beautiful shirts for your body.
- [50:50]
Kevin Greenlee
This is your week. So this is your.
- [50:51]
Anya Cain
Is it my week? I guess it is.
- [50:53]
Kevin Greenlee
You said that this, this is your episode.
- [50:55]
Anya Cain
Yeah.
- [50:55]
Kevin Greenlee
So you're going to do the ad.
- [50:59]
Anya Cain
Beautiful shirts for your body and soul. And you can flaunt them. And they say murder she people on them. And you look like you're about to interrupt me and you don't need to. Okay, I'm going to say my piece.
- [51:09]
Kevin Greenlee
Say your piece.
- [51:10]
Anya Cain
They're@murdersheetshop.com and it's a website where you can buy different sizes. You can order them, they will come promptly. They will come in a package, and you will open it and you will behold the shirt and beautiful colors. And I'm sure your friends and family will have many questions, and you can answer those. Spread the Word about Murder Sheet. So you're doing us a favor, too, by buying the shirt and also advertising for us. So everyone will be happy. And I think you'll be happy, too.
- [51:49]
Kevin Greenlee
So you're saying if people buy the shirt, their family will have questions. That's your pitch?
- [51:55]
Anya Cain
Maybe some concerns?
- [52:01]
Kevin Greenlee
We've been doing this for months. Why can't you do it without raising all these other issues? I mean, once you said the shirts would come alive, and I just said.
- [52:10]
Anya Cain
I can't guarantee that won't happen. Not gonna guarantee that. Not gonna put that in writing.
- [52:19]
Kevin Greenlee
Then the shirts won't come alive.
- [52:21]
Anya Cain
I don't know what's going on anymore.
- [52:23]
Kevin Greenlee
The shirts are not going to come alive. I'm sure your family won't have questions or concerns.
- [52:28]
Anya Cain
Well, it could be good questions. Conversation starters, you know, get everyone talking at dinner.
- [52:34]
Kevin Greenlee
Well, I'm going to go the opposite direction. I think your family would have questions or concerns if you showed up at the family dinner table shirtless. People would say, what's going on? What's wrong? And one way to make sure that never happens is if you have a ready supply of T shirts.
- [52:51]
Anya Cain
See your ads weirder. Your ad's actually weirder. And you're criticizing me. You're sitting across from me with your pen, looking at me and acting like you're at that. That's the weirdest ad you've done.
- [53:02]
Kevin Greenlee
No, I'm trying to spin it because you said if you order the shirts, your family would be concerned and have questions. And I'm saying no, they have concerns and questions.
- [53:11]
Anya Cain
If you don't order a shirt like murder sheep people. What's that? And you'll be like, they're the intellectuals of true crime. Say very smugly, obviously, while you're kind of like, kind of looking at them like. But yeah, no, I think yours is weirder. People showing up shirtless. Who wants to know about that? Like, what are we doing?
- [53:29]
Kevin Greenlee
They won't show up shirtless.
- [53:30]
Anya Cain
Yeah, well, you're putting a weird image in people's heads, and I don't appreciate it. On my ad, on my ad for families. I don't know what you're doing over there.
- [53:41]
Kevin Greenlee
There is nothing more family oriented. There is nothing more wholesome than wearing a shirt, okay? I think I've seen many Norman Rockwell pictures, many Disney movies. Everybody's wearing shirts. Yeah, it's a good, it's very wholesome.
- [53:59]
Anya Cain
Yeah. You don't even know the difference sometimes between like, I, I, I'm. Okay, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna unload here. There's been so many times where I've been wearing a dress and Kevin's like, I love your shirt. I'm wearing a dress. It's like, what? So I don't think you're one. I don't think you even know about what's going on here.
- [54:21]
Kevin Greenlee
Well, that's because I love these shirts so much. I'm very shirts focused.
- [54:25]
Anya Cain
Okay.
- [54:25]
Kevin Greenlee
You're just, I just see shirts everywhere because I love these shirts. Nothing pleases me more in this life than to see someone wearing one of these shirts.
- [54:34]
Anya Cain
Wow.
- [54:37]
Kevin Greenlee
Nothing pleases me. Not even our wedding day.
- [54:43]
Anya Cain
That's gonna be like not even your wife. Not even Lanny. Jeez. What is. That's. No, I think you've got other interests too, but I mean, it definitely makes me happy. I'm trying to walk, I'm trying to walk this back. I'm trying to help you at this point. That's how bad this has gotten. Red faced. I love it.
- [55:03]

Kevin Greenlee
Can we talk a little bit before we go about Quints, a great new sponsor for us? I think in one of the ads that we've already done for them, we talked about the compliments. I'M getting on my jacket. I. I know you're a very modest woman, but can we talk about the compliments you're getting on the quince products you wear?
- [56:40]
Anya Cain
Yeah, I've got two of their Mongolian cashmere sweaters. They're a brand that just does this sort of luxurious products, but without the crazy costs, really. Well, they are. They give you Italian leather handbags. They do like European linen sheets. You have a really cool suede jacket. And I really like the way I look in my sweaters. I like the way you look in your bomber jacket. It looks super cool.
- [57:05]
Kevin Greenlee
You've gotten a lot of compliments when you go out wearing these sweaters.
- [57:08]
Anya Cain
I think I have, yeah.
- [57:09]
Kevin Greenlee
And deservedly so.
- [57:11]
Anya Cain
Also, like, I'm one of those people, my skin is very like, you know, like I kind of sensitive. So when it comes to wearing sweaters, like, you know, sometimes something's too scratchy, like it really bothers me. These are so soft. They're just like very delicate and soft and make. They're wearing them is lovely because they're super comfortable. You're not, you're not. It's not one of those things where you're like, you buy it and it looks great, but it doesn't feel that great. They look great. They feel great. Yeah. I really love them. And you got, you know, your cool jacket. I mean, that's a little bit of a. You're the guy who like wears the same thing all the time. So this is a bit of a gamble for you, a bit of a risk. You got something a bit different.
- [57:46]
Kevin Greenlee
I do wash my clothes.
- [57:48]
Anya Cain
I know you wash your clothes, but I mean, you're filthy.
- [57:52]
Kevin Greenlee
You made me sound awful, so. No, I wash my clothes.
- [57:55]
Anya Cain
But you don't really.
- [57:56]
Kevin Greenlee
I launder them.
- [57:57]
Anya Cain
You don't really experiment with fashion that much is what I'm saying. So this is a little bit out of the norm for you, but I think you really like it and it looks good.

E T. Before we go, we just wanted to say another few words about Via. This is really a wonderful product. I think it's really helped both of us get a lot better rest.
- [58:34]
Anya Cain
Via is pretty much, I guess you'd say the Only lifestyle hemp brand out there. So what does that mean? It means that they're all about crafting different products to elicit different moods. Kevin and I really like their non THC CBD products. Specifically Zen really helps me fall asleep some. Zen can really just kind of help me get more into that state where I can relax and fall asleep pretty easily. And they're just. They've been such a wonderful support to us. They're a longtime sponsor. We really love working with them, and they really make the show possible. I'm gonna say this like, you may not realize this, but when you support our sponsors, you're supporting us, and it kind of makes us impossible for us to do the show. So if you or one of your loved ones is interested in trying some of this stuff, you're going to get a great deal. It's very high, high quality, high value.
