Speaker 1 (00:08):
Mother Knows Death starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk Hi.
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. On today's episode, We're
gonna have some great stuff for you today. We're going
to talk about this new video that has the Long

(00:28):
Island serial killer and an encounter with a woman with
him unknowingly on the subway, a couple of freak accidents
involving a teen who fell to her death parasling, and
a lawsuit with Disney World, an infant death that was
initially thought to be caused by a dog but the
autopsy says otherwise. And the dangers of smelling a fart.

(00:48):
All that and more on today's episode, Let's get started
with this Long Island serial killer. Jesus is a freaky case. Yeah,
two summers ago, this girl was riding a train when
this older man said across from her, despite the train
being completely empty. Don't you hate when people do this?
But listen, this is the funny part of the story
because I'm like, everybody does that. I wouldn't even think.

(01:10):
I mean, it is definitely creepy, but I'm just like,
there is a weird phenomenon no matter if you're at
the movie theater, or if you're in a parking lot.
I remember when I worked at the hospital, I would
specifically go to break at an earlier time than the
normal lunchtime, so I had the room empty to myself,
and it never failed that someone would come sit at
the table right next to me when the whole room
was empty. It's just a weird thing people do. But yes,

(01:34):
like think about being a young female on a train
car by yourself when a person just comes and sits
in the seat right next to you. It is bizarre. Yeah,
I mean I had. I actually had an incident over
the weekend where we were at the Guinness Brewery and
somebody asked me to like move down a seat, and
because I'm a nice person, I did it, and I
wasn't really paying attention. And then when I like got

(01:56):
up and started like looking around, I saw there was
twenty five empty seats and they were just coming off
of a bike like race, and they smelled so bad,
and I was so angry. I almost I almost said
something because I was like, you seriously just asked me
to move when there's twenty five seats and you're right
on top of me and you smell on top of it, thanks,
but regardless in this situation, so this girl's on the train.

(02:17):
She has her legs up on the seat across from her,
so this total freak comes up sits right next to her.
It says, don't worry about moving your pretty little legs.
I'm not gonna bother you. So, in true gen Z fashion,
she's taking videos of I'm putting them on Snapchat, being like,
what's up with this guy? There's all these empty seats.
He's being weird. He was like drinking a beer on
the train too. Yeah. So in the video he has

(02:39):
an open cairn of bud light, which is so weird.
And then it says, quote like why the fuck is
there man? Open seats? And this guy sits right next
to me and can't stop talking to me, like I
literally can't even catch a break, And it's that freaking guy. Yeah.
So she had the Long Island Sea Killer. It is

(03:01):
him in the video, clear as day. Yeah. So she
put her air pods in and he eventually just like
got the hint and got up and stopped talking to her.
But then he was arrested only days later. So then
when his mugshots on TV, she's like, oh, my god,
that's the guy from the train. She gets in touch
with somebody, she sends them the footage she has. She
had to be interviewed by detectives, but that must be

(03:21):
so terrifying. Yeah, and then she said she's coming out
with it now because she said it's been nearly two
years since that happened, but she didn't feel safe to
post it on her TikTok because she was she wanted
to hear if anyone else was involved with the crimes,
which is really smart of her actually to want to
do that, and she wanted to wait. And then when

(03:43):
she said, when she watched the Netflix documentary and saw
that he was the only one that did it, she
felt more comfortable sharing the videos. And she thinks that
God was with her that day, like agreed, right, Oh
my god. I just just think about how it's so
cool though that this just happened. That she because like,
if that happened to me, I wouldn't have pulled out

(04:04):
my phone and recorded it, because like I'm an old
person and I don't record every That's what I'm talking
about with like these young kids, because they're always recording
stuff anyway, and it's so shameless to be like this
freaks like not leaving me alone, so like I would
be scared that he would see that I was recording
them unless you have you know how you could get that.
I need to get that thing, you know, that thing
you put on your phone that makes it look black,

(04:26):
like people can't look at your phone. I mean, I
think kids are just so discreet with like you don't
even tell. I mean, heah, he's drinking a beer on
the train at like seven pm, so he's probably a
little tipsy, if not drunk, and he's just like gross anyway,
so I doubt even noticed. He He has like good
instinct though, to be like, let me just document this
and then and then not you know, keep it a

(04:47):
secret for all this time and everything. It's so crazy, No,
it really is. And like obviously after she saw that,
she was like, probably thank god nothing happened to me.
And then I love on the TikTok comments, people are
like we sit next killers every day and we don't
go post in videos about it. It's like you'll sit
next killer and you don't sit next to this dude.
Shut up, all right, Okay, I hate people on the internet,

(05:11):
really a right teen deaths falls to her death while parasaling. Yeah,
a nineteen year old was parasaaling on vacation in Montenegro,
and while she was in the air, she seemingly had
a panic attack, which caused her to unbuckle her safety
harness and then she plummeted over one hundred and sixty
feet to her death. You could see this video of
her freaking out and unbuckling her vest and her safety

(05:34):
thing and then just falling out of the screen. It's
just so crazy. But I don't know, Like, I don't
know if I would consider this to be a panic
attack because I feel like and listen, like, I don't
I don't study these things for a living, so I
don't know what you would classify it as. But I
am pretty sure that a panic attack is like sudden
episode of intense fear when there's nothing to fear. Well,

(05:59):
I know she had necessarily true it like triggers reactions
when there's no real danger, which is different than just
like your body like actually reacting to actual danger like
she was. She was having like a fight or flight response,
and the flight just like wouldn't turn off, and she
was she was trying to exit. It's crazy because when

(06:21):
your sympathetic nervous system goes off, it's like that's your
fight part of it. It could stay triggered, and afterwards,
if it's still triggered and your body isn't calming yourself down,
it can release cortizone and it just keeps you in
this like heightened state of like fear and panic, and
and that's what was happening. I'm just not sure it's
the same mechanism as a panic attack, like it might be.

(06:43):
I'm just not sure. But regardless, like she clearly panicked.
You saw her freaking out, geeking out and like pulling
the thing off of her, And it's just crazy how
your mind could react like that when when you're in
that altered state of not thinking straight and you're just
trying to you think you're trying to save your life,

(07:04):
and you're just not thinking like if I get out
of this thing, I'm going to plummet to my death,
which is exactly what happened to her. Well, I think
it's really scary because what if you were having a
situation up there, how are you supposed to communicate with
the people on the ground, So, well, this is the
risk you take. It's the same thing. Like, think about
going on a roller coaster and going all the way

(07:25):
to the top and your thing isn't buckled right and
you're screaming, Like that's what people do. They scream and
they're freaking out, Like it's like a risk you take
going on a ride. Well, the worst part of this
is she didn't necessarily seek this out. Somebody came up
to her on the beach and offered her like a
free excursion, and then she did it. So I'm like,
it probably wasn't even on her mind. And then if

(07:46):
you're on vacation, you're like, you know what, why not,
I'll do it, and then this horrible thing happens. Yeah,
I would do I would probably freak out the same way.
Like I'm I told you, Like if I'm on the
second floor of the mall and I look down, I'm like, wow,
that's high. Like, yeah, I don't like the feeling of
not having control of my body like that. You know,
I've I've been able to associate enough on airplanes, but like, fine,

(08:10):
I told you, Like this almost happened to me when
we were at Anakeysta and Gatlinburg, Like being on that freakin'
ski lift, Like I just was like, I need to
get off of this thing right away. I was holding
my kids, like digging my fingernails into their skin, thinking
that this was like I was going to have to
hold onto them for dear life. It was terrible. Well
you're fine. I like that one person willingly jumped off

(08:31):
of that one. So that particular one, yes, that particular one,
all right. A couple of summers ago, this man was
visiting Blizzard Beach and Disney went down the Double Hill
Double Dipper water slide and he claims that he became
airborne due to the rides quote exhilarating speeds, which left
him with catastrophic injuries. But there's a really important thing
to note about this particular case. Yeah, he was three

(08:53):
hundred and thirty four pounds, which is against the advisement
from a American society testing and materials that they recommend
that nobody over three hundred pounds goes on a ride
like this. So this is the thing though, and this
is too the guy's defense is there, like nobody's consulting
that website to see if they should go on a ride. No, obviously,

(09:16):
So like is that stated, you know, because they do say,
if you have heart issues, if you have this, if
you have that, because like I don't know if I
was a three hundred and thirty four pound person that
I would think that I couldn't if I could physically
fit on the ride, I wouldn't see why I couldn't
go on it unless it was stated on the sign.
So like if it wasn't, I could kind of see

(09:38):
if he ended up getting hurt and getting thrown off
of the tube because of that, because that has to
do with the weight for sure, But I'm sure that
there's people that are normal weight that could also say,
like the tube flew off of me too, because he
might not have been sitting on it right, but at
the same time, like he might have been too big
for it, you know what I mean. So you could
kind of see. But at the same time, it's just

(09:59):
like this screwed either way? Right with this? Well, yeah,
because I think that as a rider, I would be
under the assumption that if nobody stopped me that I
would be okay, because in my mind, they've they've already
figured it all out with testing and this This was
in twenty twenty one, which was just like at the
height of every being body like wanting to cancel everyone

(10:22):
over everything and being so freakin annoying and the height
of the like beauty at every size and everything like that.
So like what Disney's scared and they have to They're
not going to be like, oh, you're too fat, you
can't get on this ride. Like they don't want to
say that, because that's what say people will sue them
for discrimination. Like they're kind of screwed either way. But
I think that I don't know how they could gingerly

(10:45):
put it and just maybe say, like, hey, studies have
shown that people that go on this ride over this
like enter at your own risk kind of thing. I
don't know, just like write it a little bit nicer.
But there's there's all these videos that go around all
the time of like people that are obese that are
trying to like go on rides at Disney and trying
to give people trouble and all this kind of stuff,

(11:06):
And it's just like like they're kind of in a
place where I don't I don't really know how they win.
You know. Yeah, but if American Society for Testing Materials
is saying nobody over three hundred pounds should go on
a water slide. Then they have studies backing that up
and what if this person died, So like they have
information on it, they can't not put out a safety

(11:27):
like guideline because they're worried about somebody getting upset. So
speaking of Anaqista, they have that mountain roller coaster and
you go on it with two different people, they weigh you.
You get on a scale and they weigh you to
make sure that like you're not over the weight, and
I like they do it with everyone. Like I went

(11:49):
on with Lucia. They don't care and it was like
I don't remember what the limit was, but like you
have to just be like, I'm not going to be embarrassed.
I'm not offended, Like they're trying to be safe with me.
And if I weigh too much to go on this,
like I can't go on it, you know what I mean, Well,
there's a way to go about it that's not offensive
to people. But you have to understand because like if

(12:10):
there's height limits and everything, that's a safety precaution. So
like if somebody being extremely overweight could be a safety
precaution or a safety hazard, they need to be responsible
about that. This episode is brought to you by the

(12:32):
Gross Room. So, guys, as I said earlier in the week,
we did the high profile death dissection on the physician
assisted suicide, which was May and Maria. We're working on
that all day. Man, that was a long one, but
it was good. We found a lot of different information.
And it's also good because we have people, we have listeners,
and we have grocery members from all over the world,

(12:54):
and it kind of covers like how it's going down
in all different countries where it's legal to do anyway.
We also have a case of a man who was
working on a boat who had his leg amputated by
a rope on the boat, which was pretty gnarly and
a really disfiguring injury caused by a domestic violence case.
So we're talking about any times we might have gotten

(13:16):
in a fight with a significant other that got ugly
and all that and more in the Grossroom. Yeah, head
over to the Grossroom dot com. Now, all right, So
last week I saw a story about a dog eating
a baby, and like, I didn't even put it on
our list because that happens every single week that dogs

(13:36):
are killing kids and stuff. So it's just like, okay,
so I did read it though, and I saw it
and then I thought it was really interesting because I
read it and it was kind of disturbing that the
mom said she woke up and this baby was in
between her and her husband and the dog was like
eating the baby. And I was like, God, that's disturbing.

(13:57):
And now it comes out that the autopsy showed that
that's not even what happened. So the emmy is determined
that basically the baby was dead before the dog even
attacked it, So like, that's not what happened in this case.
And now I'm reading on the New York Post that
the family's saying that the baby died from SIDS. Yeah,
and the family's saying that, and the medical examiner's not

(14:17):
saying that, and they put the pitboll down, which is like,
so if the dog ended up not really killing the baby,
then why did the dog have to die. I don't
know if you saw this quote from the stepdad of
the kid, but it was a quote. Our baby died
of SIDS, from sudden infant death syndrome. She also had
medical issues. She had a heart murmur. The dog did
eat her face. It was put down, Like, Okay, I

(14:41):
want to say something a little controversial right now, I don't.
I don't even think SIDS is real. Oh I don't.
Do you want me to? I have good reasoning to
back this up, all right, So get it. Because So
SIDS is short for sudden infant death syndrome, and it's
there's nothing that you really see at autopsy. That's it's
just like, oh, this kid had a pulmonary embolism, this

(15:03):
kid had shaken baby syndrome. No, there's nothing like, there's
no gross findings that you see at autopsy that determine
that a baby dies of SIDS. So it's a diagnosis
of exclusion, meaning you do the autopsy and you can't
find anything else wrong with the baby, and the baby
seems perfectly healthy and doesn't have any pathology that would
have killed it, so you call it SIDS. It's just
not a thing. It's it's like, when you think about

(15:27):
the statistics of SIDS, it is for very specific people.
It occurs more likely in people who live in low
socioeconomic situations, people who are cigarette smokers, moms who have
babies who are young. There's like all these different things, right,
And if it was if SIDS was like a real thing,
then it would happen between any socioeconomic children, any situation

(15:51):
that they're living in. But the most common thing that
are found with these sudden infinitest syndrome cases is that
the baby's co sleeping with the parents. It always is happening,
and that's what's killing the kids. It's not like it's
really like they're suffocating sleeping with it. It's always like
it's it's just always something to do with that. Because

(16:13):
if if if since was a thing, then you wouldn't
only see it happen in a specific group of people,
like it's just it's it's just it's not a thing,
it's it's the listen, this is why the American Pediatric
Society and something they put like out all of these
things that have been happening my whole entire life, and

(16:33):
now it's like okay, now they determined that the safest
is to put the baby on the back with nothing
else in the crib. Right, But like when I was
a little kid, it was like put the baby on
the belly with the bumpers and everything. And then they're like, okay,
all these babies were dying from like you know what
I mean, because because of how they're sleeping and stuff
like that. Like I personally like the there's controversy with
it because people think it's real and stuff like I

(16:55):
just don't. I don't think it's real. So the very
first thing that you is like this baby was one
month old sleeping in between two adults like that, and listen,
like I've had babies and they've slept in my bed.
It's it's like it's bad and you shouldn't do it,
but like a lot of parents do it, and I
do it, and I'm guilty of it one hundred percent,
but like that that's what causes it. And I've known

(17:17):
that since i've had well, not you, because I didn't
know anything when I had you, but when I had
the two little ones, it was like you always know
that that's a risk, and especially like if people are
are drinking and this and that, like and there are
in these really deep sleeps and they don't really realize it.
So what one possibility that happened? So they send this

(17:38):
baby to to get the autopsy done, which is just
think about this from a medical examiner's perspective of getting
a one month old baby in this little tiny body
bag and opening it up and seeing the kid's faces
mauled from a dog. But then you're looking at the
wounds further and you're like, wait a second, I don't
see any hemorrhage. In fact, it doesn't look like this
baby's heart was beating when these injuries occurred. So one

(18:02):
possible thing is that this dog because when you think
about this, when you look at the picture of the
dog in the article, it's a puppy. It's not again,
it's a six week old dog. It's not like a
full grown big dog you would think of. And I
think it's possible that maybe the puppy got on the
bed and was like licking the baby's face and trying
to wake up the baby and couldn't wake up the

(18:24):
baby because she wasn't because she was already dead, and
maybe started chewing on her then, because you see that
sometimes in cases where people die at home with their pets,
their dogs typically go for their face first because they're
used to. They want to see if they're going to
wake up, they lick them and that's where they go
for first. And maybe this dog didn't have food. I

(18:47):
don't know what would cause a dog to do this.
It's also like a carnivore, so maybe it thought it
was food. I don't freaking know. I don't even understand
why you would have a six week old puppy if
you have a four week old baby, But like whatever,
people are gonna do whatever they're gonna do, so so
there we go. That's what happened. So the medical examiners like,
nad this kid was dead already. Now, they didn't say

(19:09):
why the kid died, so they might be looking into
things because the story might change next week. That all
of a sudden, they're dissecting out the eyes and they're like,
you know what, this kid's got right in all hemorrhages
and it looks like this baby was shaken, and then
they put the dog on top of the baby to
cover it like they could. There could be so many possibilities,
but as of right now, the family is saying that
it's SIDS and the medical examiner has said nothing. So

(19:32):
we have to wait until they say what happened, because
they already the family already told us the dog ate
the kid, which isn't what happened, So like take that,
you have to take that with a grain of salt.
But SIDS, I don't think So I mean, is it possible,
Let's say the kid did dive from suffocation. Is it
possible that they didn't know that beforehand and then just
saw the dog on top, So it could Yeah, that's

(19:53):
what I'm saying. The dog. No, there could be nothing
the farious at all. That's what I'm saying. The dog
could have been licking the baby and trying to wake
the baby up. That could have been like a typical
thing that was happening over the past couple of weeks,
and the baby didn't wake up, and then the dog
started chewing on the baby like that, And yes, they
woke up and found that, and that's what happened. But still, like,
if that's the case, the cause of death is the

(20:15):
co sleeping, it's not sinds all right. So our last
story is about this woman who's claiming that she had
a sinus infection for seven years and it all stems
from when her ex started in her face. All right,
So this is this is actually kind of a cool
story because I'll get into that later, but it's cool
from a scientific perspective, that's what I should say. So

(20:36):
she had surgery on her ankle because she I don't
even know why she had the ankle surgery. But she
was in a hotel room with him and they had
two queen size beds, and apparently she said she was
snuggled under the covers with him and they were both naked,
which is important, and he kind of like dutched unovened her.
He like, you guys know what that is, right, It's

(20:58):
like when you have the blanket all taught around your
body and then someone farts and just like it gets
trapped within this like little tent that you've created on
the bed. Right. So she was having chronic seiginusitis for
all of these years and couldn't figure it out until
finally she got sign a surgery done. So sinusitis is
when there's an inflammation of the sinuses and when they

(21:20):
do the surgery, they go up there and they kind
of scrape it out a little bit, and they were
able to send some of it to microbiology, and when
they scent it, it grew a bacteria called equal eye,
which is not ever supposed to be up inside your
nose because that's that's a poop bacteria. So like, how
did it get up there? Right? There's no other way
it could get up there. I guess it could get

(21:42):
up there in theory from like if you pick your nose,
then you have it on your hand too, it could
get up there, but like there's no equalizes, not just
like sitting on your face and accidentally gets up there.
So that's definitely not a common bacteria to cause this sinusitis.
So then it got me thinking, well, okay, so in theory,

(22:03):
you're saying that this guy farted and somehow poop bacteria
got up her nose from smelling it, which is which
is a stretch, right, Like, yeah, you think when you
smell it, you're smelling gas from the bacteria in the
in the gut instead of like actually like inhaling poop.
Because if you're thinking about that, then like every time
you're in public, you're you're like eating people's poop and

(22:27):
breathing in people's poop. Like that's disgusting, right, So most
people would agree that you're just smelling the gas and
that's not possible. But I found this really cool study
which is going to kind of about that, and I
love this. Okay, So the British Medical Journal back in
two thousand and one, some nurse decided to do an

(22:47):
article called hot air question mark, and a nurse wondered
whether farts in the operating room we're contaminating the sterile field.
So he asked a colleague to directly fart into two
petri dishes that were five centimeters or two inches away.
One of the farts was with he had his pants on,
and the other one was that he had a naked butt.

(23:10):
The one with the naked butt grew bacteria that was
present inside of poop and it was two inches away.
So in theory, like there's some kind of aerosol happening
that is causing it to go onto a person if
they're that close to your nose. This is so disgusting,
it really is. But like how often do you have

(23:31):
It's just rare because it's like how often do you
have a naked butt in a fart that close to
your face? I mean, I would hope not a lot,
but you don't know what some people with kings as
and this this isn't like the most accurate like scientific study,
but like it worked, like he like, where else did
it come from? He farted and it got some there

(23:51):
was some like little arisol droplets with poop on it.
So well. She also said it was the worst fart
she ever fell. Yeah, it was probably like a shark
like there. It probably like was a wet one, you know,
So that's probably what happened. But it's kind of cool
that it Like it's it's cool from a scientific perspective
that they were able to figure that out and that
it actually is possible. Well, I guess that she's been

(24:14):
taking antibiotics this whole time too, and they won't work,
So now she is to get surgery, which is insane. Well,
so when you have when you take antibiotics, it doesn't kill,
it doesn't go towards the back every single bacteria. So,
like I said, when you have siniu slitis, there's like
these common bacterias that cause it. So they give you
antibiotics that they know that work towards that particular or

(24:36):
those particular bacterial strains, but they're not going to work
towards equal eye, like because equal eye is like an
affection that you would either get if you have a
bad strain of it, you could get it in your
gi track normally it's just there. But like that's a
common infection. That's the most common cause of urinary track
infections in females because the urethras so short and the

(24:57):
wiping and that's why they say to wipe from front
to back so you don't have that contamination. And but
normally it's just there like you have it right now
and it doesn't cause any pathology in your in your
in your gut. So so yeah, like the antibiotics wouldn't work.
