Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guide, not quite on humor me ...
Smigle and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Oden Creek to David Letterman
“help make you funnier! This week my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer,”
Streeter Sidel, helped an Occupella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Wasn't a humor me with Robert Smigle and Friends on the iHeart Radio app, apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the look-back at a podcast.
The next seminar that was big moment for me, 84's big to meet.
I'm Sam Jack, and I'm Alex E. Grish. Each episode we pick you here,
unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, federal comedians and favorite authors, like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s.
“They get it was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.”
Listen to look back at it on the iHeart Radio app, apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcasts superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the
athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days I put on 10 pounds. I was having troubles stopping the muscle growth. Listen to superhuman on the iHeart Radio app, apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Don't have heard about Jessica Keren's murder. I told you her story in the Graves County podcast, but there's a key piece I did not dive deep into, and it's all coming out in a new series called
my mother's lies from the binge and it's out now. It looks at the murder of Jessica Keren and the case against Quincy Cross from a different angle, through the eyes of Susan Galbrath's son. Susan is seen as a hero to some, but now her son Ray brings that all into question. You can find my mother's lies in the description of this introduction or by searching for my mother's lies wherever you listen to podcasts. Because if you've been listening to
Bone Valley Graves County, you know this case has never been just one story. Here's a sneak peek.
“Every murder trial tells a story. What happened? Who did it? How did it happen? Even why it happened?”
When there's strong corroborating evidence, that story is anchored to fact, but when there isn't, when the physical proof is missing, when there's nothing to go on by eye-witness testimony, the story, that testimony becomes the case. The series is about a story. That was repeated, reinforced, and eventually accepted as truth. A story that may have mattered more than evidence to the contrary, and at the center of it all, is the woman who helped
write that story. It's August 1st in the year 2000, a bombing Tuesday morning, in the small town of Mayfield in Western Kentucky. Beyond say, in the boy band and sink are dominating the airwebs. Gladiator and X-Men are playing at the local theater. At the local middle school, staff are now preparing for the coming year. Though nothing could prepare teacher Tina Schlosser for what was to come. She steps outside to water the plants near the back
of the school. When she sees something out of the corner of her eye, something laying just behind the low brick wall. It's an item of clothing strewn on the grass, a single sandal. Just laying there, she'd later say, as if someone had just run out of it. Walking closer, she pears around the corner and stops in her tracks, standing rigid and horror. Before her lies, the brutalized and partially burned body of a young black woman. The cinched grass around her is a strange yellow
color. Aside from the damage done by fire, the body is starting to decompose. Only later, would they be able to identify the young woman as Jessica Current. Her murder would shake this quiet town to its core and make headlines across the nation. Someone had murdered 18-year-old Jessica Current, a local fire captain's daughter, a single mother, her smile lit up her friends.
Jessica was last seen by her parents, Joanne Jean Kurin, on the afternoon of ...
July 29. They were taking care of her seven-month-old baby, Zion, for the evening.
“We got up Sunday morning, and you know, my wife said she already knew something was wrong,”
because Jessie normally calls and checks on Zion pretty often, and she hadn't called at night. We got up that morning and went by her house, knocked on the door and we didn't get an answer. They didn't have to wait long to discover the awful truth. Less than 48 hours later, the Mayfield Police Department, the local cops, were scrambling, trying to make sense of a chaotic crime scene. The police footage shows the hat cloth partially burned body of Jessica Current.
Her dress is torn, underwear discarded. The sandal lying nearby suggests she might have been
attempting to flee her attacker. Plenty of theories about what happened and who did this
“would emerge, but for the police, it was too soon to say. Police say 18-year-old Jessica”
Melissa Current died from multiple blows to the body. Investigators say she was assaulted in her body set on fire, so far, police say there are no motives. Police say they're gone. In the archive footage of the crime scene, you can clearly see the yellow police tape blocking off the area. Tape is supposed to be a barrier between the crime scene and onlookers to protect the evidence from contamination, but it doesn't stop one curious Mayfield resident from getting closer
than she should. Susan Gauberath, she's 40, white, slightly overlooked within the community, a little overweight with bleach blonde hair and a rough and ready charm, brazen even.
“She's not a journalist or a cop. She's a housewife. Exactly how she came to be at the crime scene”
is a matter of some debate, but here she is giving one version of events to a journalist some years later. A friend and I are sitting in a restaurant and our waitress walked over and asked us if we had heard that there was a body that had been found at the middle school. It's I'm heading towards a crime scene. And I started walking through this grass as I come through the clearing of it. I just look up and there I see the bodies of a black woman. People kept fixated with
true crime stories and sometimes citizen's loose will jump in and try to solve or help the police but they're doing it from afar. Susan lived in the same town where Jessica current was murdered and Susan didn't know Jessica personally. In fact, she had no connection to her at all. And yet she felt so compelled as to physically step into the crime scene. Her name is there in black and white on the official police log. Susan's motivations will be a matter of debate for years.
No one could know how this case would come to haunt mayfield for the next two decades. Making Susan Galbra, a hero to some and a villain to others. If you get somebody like that on the wall, track, they can take the ball and go to the wrong direction. What were Susan's real motives for trying to solve the Jessica current murder? She was an entity of them found the killer that killed their daughter. How did the authorities come to trust this middle-aged
housewife and her evidence? Is that normal for the citizens to be walking around with case files? Motion isn't discovery. It'd be very unusual. It's a question that has left many perturbed, including her son. As it was just the lies, there are so many lies. So the narrative
that's in front of us can't be the truth. Did Susan ultimately do more harm than
good? Why in the world would you allow them to get this close? Especially somebody that would have a motive. I'm in persuade colomies and maybe you're my space and look at this. I'm just like, you know, what do I do? Oh my God! And perhaps the biggest question of all did she help convict an innocent man? I do feel like that they got the wrong people.
