Speaker 1 (00:07):
Now, Cap, tell us what happened when you visited the
truck stop office, Daniels.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
We entered the place, had a seat out of booth
subjects who was later identified as Roy Preston. Fallon came
over to us and asked us where we were going.
We told him we were en route back to South Hill.
We were working in construction. One of the men asked
for some coffee, and he stated that at this particular time,
the only thing they had to offer was coffee and pussy,
(00:35):
and they were all out of coffee.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
When the builders entered the twenty nine to drink Sody
Pop and Rubbernack. Connie hadn't been the only one to
advise them of the establishment's actual product. Don't worry, Tommy
had to shirt Connie and after the cohort departed without
spending a dime on the women.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
They just need to.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Get delay of the land and soon they'll be back,
just exactly like I told you, Connie said, nudging Buckeye. However, well,
some patrons needed a little time to warm up to
the idea of paying for sex. Others didn't need as
(01:29):
much persuading.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I was all boy, if it was a whole house
up outation. You know, I was into everything.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Locating first hand accounts of brothel operations proved difficult for
this researcher. Former working girls, many of whom are now
grandma's or even deceased, eluded me. When after weeks of
digging and sending nervous messages that went onread, I finally
(02:00):
got one former Hooker Gate worker on the telephone.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Let's just say she.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Wasn't exactly happy to hear from me, but more on
that in a later episode. Why these women would want
to remain silent at this point in their lives makes
sense to me, as I myself, also a former lady
of the night, now struggle with the potential fallout my
(02:28):
past could have on my future. Women who work sex
often wish to remain anonymous to protect those they love,
to protect the lives they have built.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
In the meantime, I.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Expected that any customers would likely wish the same anonymity,
and I had little hope of interviewing anyone in this category.
So you can imagine my surprise when Frankie Jones, whom
I contacted due to his father's role in the Hooker
(03:04):
Gate grand jury, opened up about his youthful experience visiting
one of these establishments.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So they had whole houses everywhile, and we'd get out
of here party and get have a guy who'd never
been around learn and we'd take them up to the
whole house and pay, you know, I guess for a
good time having a ball. Well, I picked up my
friend of mine who's a hit with hitchhiking back to Richmond,
and took him out to fifty eight and I went
(03:34):
in there to get a cup of coffee while he
was as far as I'm gonna take him, And he
had on a long coat, and a beautiful blonde girl
came up and she said, that guy weird. I said, no,
he went to high school, would be. He's in rich winning,
you know, nice guy. She said, well, are you dating today?
(03:54):
I said, now my date today? She said, yeah, dating
to day. I said, well, yeah, yeah, I don't care
about it. I just want the experience. I got longer
on draw. She said, come on, we're going back. I said,
I got to go somewhere real quick. I'll be right back.
(04:14):
So I head up to the rock quarry, take my
damn clothes and get them long John draw true story.
Go back at then, and she's not that was an
older one. She at me after me. I said, I'm
waiting after half now. She said, son, yeah, yeah, let
me teach you something about sex. I said, let me
(04:35):
tell you something, lady, I can teach you something bad sex.
We went back at three minutes later. I was ask
but you know it was I wanted a store to
tell that's the way I am.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Frankie might have been the only one bold enough to
share his memories patronizing in Pennsylvania County's notorious truck stops.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
However, he was far from.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
The only man to pay patize them. Indeed, while digging
through artifacts housed at the National Archives in Philadelphia, I
discovered a client log, a tall blue ledger book with
the words fifty eight truck stop inscribed on the cover
in blue inkpen This book chronicled in coded language, identifying
(05:23):
info about all of the clients that came through.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Each entry would include.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
A code name or the initials of the client and
a brief description of his appearance. In this way, truck
stop operators could keep track of their client tele and
understand whom they could trust and whom they could count
on to pony up the minimum twenty bucks per trick
price tag. What a gold mine of information, I thought,
(05:55):
Holding this ledger in my hand, palms itching to see
which of my former neighbors paid for sin. I flipped
the book open, and to my surprise, there on the
very first page, I found my maiden name Burton, accompanied
(06:19):
by a physical description of a customer.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Not too far off from my dad.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Your father was way too pretty to pay for.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Sex, my mother assured me when I called her over
my lunch break to report back. But one thing I've
learned in my nearly two years studying this case is this,
there's really no telling just who patronized these truck.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Stops, truck shot brothels run by a web of x cons,
a commonwealth attorney wasted on whiskey and power protection exchanged
for cash and flesh.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
A brash local reporter exposing it all. This is hookergate,
criminals and libertines in the South. And I am your host,
Doctor Lindsey Byron, author, historian, and lifelong wayward woman. This
forgotten scandal happened in my hometown. Join me as I
(07:33):
use crumbling.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
News clippings, interviews, and dramatic reenactments to bring to life
for the first time in nearly fifty years, this wild
ride of hedonistic corruption, Episode four, and we're all out
of coffee.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I want to ask you what you were required to
do to further the protection.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
Well, I've had sexual relationships with Joe Whitehead.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
All right, when did you first meet him?
Speaker 8 (08:07):
It was either in the late spring or early summer
of nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
All right, what were the circumstances.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
Well, there was another girl, her name is buck Eye.
Her and myself went to a motel in Danville, and
I believe the name of the motel was the Econo Lodge.
We went in and there was two men in there
and they were having some drinks. They offered us a drink,
and Buckeye got with the man that was introduced to
us as a real estate man from Florida, and I
(08:38):
got with Joe Whitehead.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'd rather you gave the job to somebody else, Jannette
told Tommy. He nuzzled his face into her neck and
said that with as heart as she weren't not have
to do nothing she didn't want to. From the bar,
Buckuy and Tanita glared upon this love scene. Some brods
(09:10):
had all the luck since setting up camp at the
twenty nine, the seasons had changed from warm to cool,
and Buckuy had learned a thing or two about this industry.
She'd learned that women came and went from these establishments,
and hierarchies were forever in flux.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
However, one thing that.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Was never in flux, it seemed, was the dominance of
Tommy's bottom bitch, the beautiful and infuriatingly sweet Janet.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Daddy's baby. Don't have to do with Daddy's baby.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Don't wanna, Buckeye explained to the twenty nine's newest edition
to Nita. Across the lounge. Tommy tickled into a rash
of giggles.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
And then for.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
A moment pulled from the hilarity, his eyes locked with
Buckeye's jealous gaze. Moments later, he approached her in Tanita,
grab you things, he told them, I got a job
for y'all. So who exactly is so damn important as
(10:36):
to require a day off site? Tanita inquired in a
whisper as in the back seat, she and Buckeye sat
piloted through the night by Tommy and Janet in calls
where the standard practice at the twenty nine, indeed at
all of.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
The local truck stops.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I ain't never done, no damn oult call to continued
under her breath, even when I was working over at
the heel Cress. They pulled into the parking lot at
the Ocono Lodge, where puddles of rain and auto oil
swirled together in rainbows of poison. Wait here with them,
(11:17):
Tommy instructed Janet as he slid out of the sedan
and knocked on the door of Room to thirty one.
The door opened just an inch, releasing a sliver of
light that reflected off those rainbows. Janet turned around to
face the women in the back seat.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Something you should know.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
This is a powerful man, a proud man, a sad man,
and angry man.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
But by now you've dealt with some of all of
the above. This man, however, is all of.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Those men rolled into one.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Hell, don't make him sound so damn attractive. Flattering, Janet continued,
flattering more than most. If he starts to get weepy,
change the subject, slap him with a titty, do whatever
it takes. Don't let him get on about his wife
(12:21):
or that baby they adopted.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
That subject goes nowhere.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Good.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Can I ask why this one is so special?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Buckeye inquired, Well, he's the reason we ain't all in jail.
Sand In Janet, A voice bellowed from behind door two
thirty one. But Tommy wouldn't be sending in Janet.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Some things a man liked to keep to himself.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I wouldn't mind, had promised her at the start, a
foolish lie, an impossible aim. He liked the money she
returned to him. Sure, indeed he needed that money, especially
with the squeeze that this bastard was putting on him lately,
this bastard.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Hollering even now for his girl.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Tommy be damned if he let this drunk take over
his money and his woman. Janet belonged to him, As
Tommy esported Buckeye and Tanita into that motel room, where
faded green carpet and bedspreads dotted with cigarette burns. Wood
in the hour to come clash with tails of grandeurs
(13:41):
spun by a drunk man.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
The two women painted on smiles.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
This is my friend, Florida, the important man slurred, gesturing
to the fellows seated across from him on the other
bed suit class and holding a cocktail.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
And of course, he continued, you know who I.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Am that's very wrong, mister Tanita replied, Well, the man said,
slapping the bed beside him.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
You about to learn.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Harolwaine Dowdy was just a big shot. He had was
running some horse in one of the whole houses, very
open about it. Everybody knew Old Harowaine, old country boy.
He got this most beautiful prostitute you'd ever seen. I'm
telling you, Lindsey she was playbaited material and he would
(14:49):
show off when she came down to the shopping and
we were next door, so SA security got out of
that Darren corvette with a mint coat on, prancing around
and her Old, we just it's like robbing the bank.
Don't go buy a cardem are you idiot? Wait a while,
But Harold was really after an annual phase.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
We'll put the water slide over there, Harold Wayne told Robin,
pointing to a spot in the jagge. A back hoe
ripped up his backyard, turning up a red Robin bit
her lip, Nervous to ask the question on her mind,
(15:35):
she certainly looked forward to swimming in the deep end
of Harold Wayne's pool. Indeed, she hoped to spend more
time at his new home instead of the usual sweaty
encounters in a back room of the fifty eight. However,
for the few short months that she'd worked for HWD,
(15:56):
he'd mostly kept her hidden away. Why don't you ever
take me to your place, she'd asked him, but she
knew the answer. Phyllis lumbered around the office, making schedules
and arranging bookings, growing bigger and bigger with each passing month.
(16:20):
When were you going to tell me you had a
baby on the way, Robin asked Harold Wayne one evening
after another session in his arms. How could a man
who touched her so softly, who gazed upon her with
such tenderness, rancor is merely the other woman? A secret
(16:42):
kept in the dark, sometimes, Robin thought, A secret is
what a man loves best. Since joining HWD at the
truck stop, Robin had ascended to levels of elegance and
luxury what she'd never before dreamed. When customers asked to
(17:04):
see the ladies, they usually chose Robin first. Her body
ached from the regular work, but her pockets grew comfortably.
Forget ever taking a bus again, Robin now took the corvette.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Sometimes.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Harold Wayne even let her drive. I'm gonna make sure
nothing ever having see you, Joe Whitehead had promised Robin
that first night in Wayne Holly's trailer is gently she
stroked his bald head laid in her lap. This never
(17:46):
happens to me, he explained later, as with increasing agitation
he fumbled in his pants. I can help, Robin assured him,
and sure enough she could. Afterwards they talked. Whitehead, too
drunk to watch, his mouth, poured his heart out, a
(18:08):
damn bust wide open at the first opportunity of a league,
His angry wife, his demanding career, his desire to simply
feel something, anything, All of these he unloaded on Robin,
and Robin, accustomed now to catering to the needs of men,
played her role accordingly, petting him, peppering his cheek with kisses,
(18:31):
his ego with compliments.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Watch the smart mouth.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Harold Wayne had warned her before dropping her off at
Holly's trailer, as if she needed to be instructed on
how to read the temperature of a man. Joe didn't
ask Robin any questions about herself, and that was fine.
The game, of course, was to read him, become the
thing he desired, be interested, not interesting.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Robin wasn't here to make friends.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
You need to look the part, Harold Wayne told her,
as thanks to her hard work pleasing the right fella,
life got a lot easier for everyone at the twenty
nine The unknown cars driving around the parking lot, the
customers who ordered co colas but nothing more, the stare.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Downs with the bag man and the diner.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
The more often that Robin answered Whitehead's call, the less
these bothersome pests showed up at Harold Wayne's door to
honor her contribution to his livelihood as well as his
personal life. One evening, after Robin finished up another date,
Harold Wayne reached under the counter of the bar and
(19:54):
pulled out a large white box from Rippy's, wrapped up
with a pink bow. Robin pulled that pretty satin ribbon,
and inside she found a full length mink coat. She
wore that mink coat now as she gazed upon a
(20:15):
digging back hoe and ventured at last the question on
her mind.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Where is Phyllis?
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Harold Wayne, She's gone.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
He answered, eyes trained on the back Coe gone. Where
to the hospital having the baby? Harold Wayne nodded, And
then what she comes back home and y'all play happy
family while I go back to the back room.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
That's not at all what I had planned.
Speaker 10 (20:54):
He answered, Well, once you go back and I started,
I called the count across career at the times your
way here, talked to the sheriff.
Speaker 11 (21:16):
Now print the story, and he kept growing from there
and growing from there and growing from there. And you
quickly discover that once you print something like that, the
people that do have a pretty good idea about what's
going on, they will talk to you.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
You don't have to search them out.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
They will search you out. So I'd love to say
it was, you know, some active genius, but it wasn't people.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
I think people in general are just fed up with.
Speaker 11 (21:51):
Things, you know, criminal activity occurring, and if you knew
the right people, you didn't have to pay the price
for it.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He would title the article, I'm mad as hell, and
I'm not gonna take this anymore. The thing that quite
frankly makes me mad as hell. Rodney hammered into his keyboard.
As in the field just outside his window, George the
bull Cow and his bovine bride Mabel battled over.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
The highest grasses for chewing is that.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
There are quite a few well to do local hoodlums
who have been carrying on illegal activities in this county
for years, right under the nose of Sheriff Taylor McGregor
and Joseph Motley Whitehead.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Rodney wrote, I think it's.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Time that the people of Pennsylvania County took a good
hard look at the men we have put into public office. Here,
his fingers stung from pounding the keys.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
He'd pissed some people off. Sure, important people. However, Rodney
served the interests of the people, not the people.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
There's a newsman asking around about the whorehouses nosey nelly
circulated at the ladies hair salon. And as this intel spread,
a number of local characters emerged to share their thoughts
with Rodney. Housewives sped up with their husbands not so
secret dalliances, clergymen desiring one less temptation upon their flaws,
(23:24):
hi society folks wishing to squash vice in their fine city.
But there was one person Rodney just couldn't pin down.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
He toyed with the coiled cord of the rotary phone
as it rang.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Law office of Joseph Whitehead.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
A woman answered brightly, Hello, man, I speak to mister Whitehead,
who's calling. Please, it's Rodney Smith again, Gretna Gazette. I
just have a few questions about some case dismissals.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
I'm sorry, mister Whitehead is not available.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Mister Whitehead, it seemed to Rodney, was never available, and
more and more often, mister Whitehead's secretary found herself making.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Excuses mister Whitehead is preparing for a trial, or mister
Whitehead is visiting with a client.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
When in fact, mister Whitehead was snoring at his desk,
sleeping off the night before. Once she'd even found him
sprawled on the ground, a pool of drool.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Forming on the sleeve of his expensive suit. Sir, people
are asking questions.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
She'd dared to venture, once, waking him gently with a
nunch of her foot. Don't mean I gotta answer him,
Whitehead responded and went back to dreaming. Next, Rodney focused
his attention on the Sheriff's office. He traced the number
here into the dial, but much like Joe Whitehead, Sheriff
(25:06):
McGregor was unavailable. However, after a few transfers, he was
connected to Deputy bh Moss. How do you explain all
these dismissals of prostitution cases?
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Rodney inquired, of the law man.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
I ain't in a habit of talking to reporters, and
not only dismissals, Deputy, but lack sentencing when the cases
are tried.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
And the sheer volume of these cases, well.
Speaker 9 (25:37):
They are a bit out of proportion for a population
this size. Wouldn't you say, no comment, Rodney? You know
I can't talk about.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
This with you.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Well, people are starting to talk, Deputy. They're not blind,
and they don't like this kind of vice muddying up
the city of churches. Another thing they don't like is
powerful men do whatever the hell they want. You saw
how that was received nationally with Watergate.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Listen, Rodney, the deputy interrupted, Here's the thing, y'all.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
Big shot journalists might thank you the only ones who
care about justice. You might think us law men ain't
nothing but a bunch of back patent schemers. You might
even think, oh, Deputy mossh himself got a hand in
the pot.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
But I'm here to tell you in this, by the way.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Rodney is all off the record, but I'm here to
tell you that you got me did wrong.
Speaker 12 (26:43):
Wayne Hally was known to be Whitehead's best friend, and
on one occasion, Boyd took two girls to Holly's trailer,
a carriage hill trailer court on the Mount Cross Road,
but Holly and Whitehead didn't like Boyd's girls. Hally went
to call Dowdy, and Dowdy said he didn't have any girls.
Whitehead said that the fifty eight truck stop was going
to look like a swarm of bees hit it if
(27:04):
Dowdy didn't come up with some girls, because he was
going to send so many policemen out there.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Y'all can head on home.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Harold Wayne told the three women who sat board on
the couch and the lounge of the fifty eight. Midweek
was often slow, particularly in the middle of the night.
Harold Wayne used this as his excuse to dismiss his
night crew. Early normally devoted to eking out every single
(27:36):
dime that could be wrung from a business. It was
out of character for Harold Wayne to cut out early
at all, But tonight, hwd wanted to get home to Robin.
Robin worked harder than any woman he had ever known,
and she knew how to work any man. She was sharp, caustic,
(28:02):
even none of this simpering sexy baby shit that most
of the girls played. He had worried at first that
her quick tongue might cause problems with customers, but in
fact they came back.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
For more of whatever she was serving. Harold Wayne had
never been so in love.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
He'd kept their love as secret for as long as
Phyllis had been around. But now that Phyllis was out
of the picture, having taken the baby to her mother's
house after calling Harold Wayne a lying, cheating son of
a bitch, HWD was at last free to incorporate Robin
(28:43):
into his home life. No more trailer parks for Harold Wayne,
no more bus rides for Robin.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Together, they were moving on up.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
It was of Robin sleeping at last in his bed,
chestnut maine spread out over satin sheath.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
That Harold Wayne thought.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Now any moment away from her felt like an itch
on the soul, a nagging pebble in the shoe. Only
when with Robin did HWD feel hole satisfied. Her love
was like a drink of water after a lifetime in
the desert. Her love was a feast for a man
(29:31):
who hadn't even known he was starving.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
She filled him up to overflowing. It was of her,
he thought, when he told his.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Night crew, y'all can go on home.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
The last of the ladies had just departed when the
telephone rang yellow across the line HWD and being sounds
of fighting, an argument, a familiar voice hollering at someone.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
To get the hell out hw D.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Wayne Holly piped up over the scuffle.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
You gotta fix this situation. Send out some girls.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
And I mean quick, brother, what situation your buddy boy?
Just send us some bum. Bitch is just ugly as hell.
And my friend is getting mighty angry because his heart
was set on a good time. Send out some girls,
Send out Robin. He liked robbing a whole lot.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Robin, his angel sleeping peacefully for once. No, I'm sorry, Wayne,
h w D told him, but I just sent the
last of my girls home for the night.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
In fact, I was just about to head home myself.
Tell me my wont Robin.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
That familiar voice hollered the man Wayne told Harold Wayne.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
I told you all my girls are gone for the night.
He says, his girls are gone for the night.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Joe, give me the damn phone.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
Listen, my motherfucker.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Joseph White Hut growl at Harold Wayne.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
I ain't gonna tell you twice. You get me some
girls here tonight right now, or that truck stipe, but
yours it's about to look like a swarm of bees
hit it.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Thanks for listening.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
My name is Lindsey Byron, but most people know me
as Lux at L.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Learn more about my work.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
It's that fucking dog. I hate that motherfucking neighbors dog.
Now, Cap, tell us what happened when you visited the
truck stop office, Daniels.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
We entered the place, had a seat out of booth
subjects who was later identified as Roy Preston. Fallon came
over to us and asked us where we were going.
We told him we were en route back to South Hill.
We were working in construction. One of the men asked
for some coffee, and he stated that at this particular time,
the only thing they had to offer was coffee and pussy,
(00:35):
and they were all out of coffee.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
When the builders entered the twenty nine to drink Sody
Pop and Rubbernack. Connie hadn't been the only one to
advise them of the establishment's actual product. Don't worry, Tommy
had to shirt Connie and after the cohort departed without
spending a dime on the women.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
They just need to.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Get delay of the land and soon they'll be back,
just exactly like I told you, Connie said, nudging Buckeye. However, well,
some patrons needed a little time to warm up to
the idea of paying for sex. Others didn't need as
(01:29):
much persuading.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I was all boy, if it was a whole house
up outation. You know, I was into everything.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Locating first hand accounts of brothel operations proved difficult for
this researcher. Former working girls, many of whom are now
grandma's or even deceased, eluded me. When after weeks of
digging and sending nervous messages that went onread, I finally
(02:00):
got one former Hooker Gate worker on the telephone.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Let's just say she.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Wasn't exactly happy to hear from me, but more on
that in a later episode. Why these women would want
to remain silent at this point in their lives makes
sense to me, as I myself, also a former lady
of the night, now struggle with the potential fallout my
(02:28):
past could have on my future. Women who work sex
often wish to remain anonymous to protect those they love,
to protect the lives they have built.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
In the meantime, I.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Expected that any customers would likely wish the same anonymity,
and I had little hope of interviewing anyone in this category.
So you can imagine my surprise when Frankie Jones, whom
I contacted due to his father's role in the Hooker
(03:04):
Gate grand jury, opened up about his youthful experience visiting
one of these establishments.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So they had whole houses everywhile, and we'd get out
of here party and get have a guy who'd never
been around learn and we'd take them up to the
whole house and pay, you know, I guess for a
good time having a ball. Well, I picked up my
friend of mine who's a hit with hitchhiking back to Richmond,
and took him out to fifty eight and I went
(03:34):
in there to get a cup of coffee while he
was as far as I'm gonna take him, And he
had on a long coat, and a beautiful blonde girl
came up and she said, that guy weird. I said, no,
he went to high school, would be. He's in rich winning,
you know, nice guy. She said, well, are you dating today?
(03:54):
I said, now my date today? She said, yeah, dating
to day. I said, well, yeah, yeah, I don't care
about it. I just want the experience. I got longer
on draw. She said, come on, we're going back. I said,
I got to go somewhere real quick. I'll be right back.
(04:14):
So I head up to the rock quarry, take my
damn clothes and get them long John draw true story.
Go back at then, and she's not that was an
older one. She at me after me. I said, I'm
waiting after half now. She said, son, yeah, yeah, let
me teach you something about sex. I said, let me
(04:35):
tell you something, lady, I can teach you something bad sex.
We went back at three minutes later. I was ask
but you know it was I wanted a store to
tell that's the way I am.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Frankie might have been the only one bold enough to
share his memories patronizing in Pennsylvania County's notorious truck stops.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
However, he was far from.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
The only man to pay patize them. Indeed, while digging
through artifacts housed at the National Archives in Philadelphia, I
discovered a client log, a tall blue ledger book with
the words fifty eight truck stop inscribed on the cover
in blue inkpen This book chronicled in coded language, identifying
(05:23):
info about all of the clients that came through.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Each entry would include.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
A code name or the initials of the client and
a brief description of his appearance. In this way, truck
stop operators could keep track of their client tele and
understand whom they could trust and whom they could count
on to pony up the minimum twenty bucks per trick
price tag. What a gold mine of information, I thought,
(05:55):
Holding this ledger in my hand, palms itching to see
which of my former neighbors paid for sin. I flipped
the book open, and to my surprise, there on the
very first page, I found my maiden name Burton, accompanied
(06:19):
by a physical description of a customer.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Not too far off from my dad.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Your father was way too pretty to pay for.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Sex, my mother assured me when I called her over
my lunch break to report back. But one thing I've
learned in my nearly two years studying this case is this,
there's really no telling just who patronized these truck.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Stops, truck shot brothels run by a web of x cons,
a commonwealth attorney wasted on whiskey and power protection exchanged
for cash and flesh.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
A brash local reporter exposing it all. This is hookergate,
criminals and libertines in the South. And I am your host,
Doctor Lindsey Byron, author, historian, and lifelong wayward woman. This
forgotten scandal happened in my hometown. Join me as I
(07:33):
use crumbling.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
News clippings, interviews, and dramatic reenactments to bring to life
for the first time in nearly fifty years, this wild
ride of hedonistic corruption, Episode four, and we're all out
of coffee.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I want to ask you what you were required to
do to further the protection.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
Well, I've had sexual relationships with Joe Whitehead.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
All right, when did you first meet him?
Speaker 8 (08:07):
It was either in the late spring or early summer
of nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
All right, what were the circumstances.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
Well, there was another girl, her name is buck Eye.
Her and myself went to a motel in Danville, and
I believe the name of the motel was the Econo Lodge.
We went in and there was two men in there
and they were having some drinks. They offered us a drink,
and Buckeye got with the man that was introduced to
us as a real estate man from Florida, and I
(08:38):
got with Joe Whitehead.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'd rather you gave the job to somebody else, Jannette
told Tommy. He nuzzled his face into her neck and
said that with as heart as she weren't not have
to do nothing she didn't want to. From the bar,
Buckuy and Tanita glared upon this love scene. Some brods
(09:10):
had all the luck since setting up camp at the
twenty nine, the seasons had changed from warm to cool,
and Buckuy had learned a thing or two about this industry.
She'd learned that women came and went from these establishments,
and hierarchies were forever in flux.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
However, one thing that.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Was never in flux, it seemed, was the dominance of
Tommy's bottom bitch, the beautiful and infuriatingly sweet Janet.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Daddy's baby. Don't have to do with Daddy's baby.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Don't wanna, Buckeye explained to the twenty nine's newest edition
to Nita. Across the lounge. Tommy tickled into a rash
of giggles.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
And then for.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
A moment pulled from the hilarity, his eyes locked with
Buckeye's jealous gaze. Moments later, he approached her in Tanita,
grab you things, he told them, I got a job
for y'all. So who exactly is so damn important as
(10:36):
to require a day off site? Tanita inquired in a
whisper as in the back seat, she and Buckeye sat
piloted through the night by Tommy and Janet in calls
where the standard practice at the twenty nine, indeed at
all of.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
The local truck stops.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I ain't never done, no damn oult call to continued
under her breath, even when I was working over at
the heel Cress. They pulled into the parking lot at
the Ocono Lodge, where puddles of rain and auto oil
swirled together in rainbows of poison. Wait here with them,
(11:17):
Tommy instructed Janet as he slid out of the sedan
and knocked on the door of Room to thirty one.
The door opened just an inch, releasing a sliver of
light that reflected off those rainbows. Janet turned around to
face the women in the back seat.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Something you should know.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
This is a powerful man, a proud man, a sad man,
and angry man.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
But by now you've dealt with some of all of
the above. This man, however, is all of.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Those men rolled into one.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Hell, don't make him sound so damn attractive. Flattering, Janet continued,
flattering more than most. If he starts to get weepy,
change the subject, slap him with a titty, do whatever
it takes. Don't let him get on about his wife
(12:21):
or that baby they adopted.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
That subject goes nowhere.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Good.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Can I ask why this one is so special?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Buckeye inquired, Well, he's the reason we ain't all in jail.
Sand In Janet, A voice bellowed from behind door two
thirty one. But Tommy wouldn't be sending in Janet.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Some things a man liked to keep to himself.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I wouldn't mind, had promised her at the start, a
foolish lie, an impossible aim. He liked the money she
returned to him. Sure, indeed he needed that money, especially
with the squeeze that this bastard was putting on him lately,
this bastard.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Hollering even now for his girl.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Tommy be damned if he let this drunk take over
his money and his woman. Janet belonged to him, As
Tommy esported Buckeye and Tanita into that motel room, where
faded green carpet and bedspreads dotted with cigarette burns. Wood
in the hour to come clash with tails of grandeurs
(13:41):
spun by a drunk man.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
The two women painted on smiles.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
This is my friend, Florida, the important man slurred, gesturing
to the fellows seated across from him on the other
bed suit class and holding a cocktail.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
And of course, he continued, you know who I.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Am that's very wrong, mister Tanita replied, Well, the man said,
slapping the bed beside him.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
You about to learn.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Harolwaine Dowdy was just a big shot. He had was
running some horse in one of the whole houses, very
open about it. Everybody knew Old Harowaine, old country boy.
He got this most beautiful prostitute you'd ever seen. I'm
telling you, Lindsey she was playbaited material and he would
(14:49):
show off when she came down to the shopping and
we were next door, so SA security got out of
that Darren corvette with a mint coat on, prancing around
and her Old, we just it's like robbing the bank.
Don't go buy a cardem are you idiot? Wait a while,
But Harold was really after an annual phase.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
We'll put the water slide over there, Harold Wayne told Robin,
pointing to a spot in the jagge. A back hoe
ripped up his backyard, turning up a red Robin bit
her lip, Nervous to ask the question on her mind,
(15:35):
she certainly looked forward to swimming in the deep end
of Harold Wayne's pool. Indeed, she hoped to spend more
time at his new home instead of the usual sweaty
encounters in a back room of the fifty eight. However,
for the few short months that she'd worked for HWD,
(15:56):
he'd mostly kept her hidden away. Why don't you ever
take me to your place, she'd asked him, but she
knew the answer. Phyllis lumbered around the office, making schedules
and arranging bookings, growing bigger and bigger with each passing month.
(16:20):
When were you going to tell me you had a
baby on the way, Robin asked Harold Wayne one evening
after another session in his arms. How could a man
who touched her so softly, who gazed upon her with
such tenderness, rancor is merely the other woman? A secret
(16:42):
kept in the dark, sometimes, Robin thought, A secret is
what a man loves best. Since joining HWD at the
truck stop, Robin had ascended to levels of elegance and
luxury what she'd never before dreamed. When customers asked to
(17:04):
see the ladies, they usually chose Robin first. Her body
ached from the regular work, but her pockets grew comfortably.
Forget ever taking a bus again, Robin now took the corvette.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Sometimes.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Harold Wayne even let her drive. I'm gonna make sure
nothing ever having see you, Joe Whitehead had promised Robin
that first night in Wayne Holly's trailer is gently she
stroked his bald head laid in her lap. This never
(17:46):
happens to me, he explained later, as with increasing agitation
he fumbled in his pants. I can help, Robin assured him,
and sure enough she could. Afterwards they talked. Whitehead, too
drunk to watch, his mouth, poured his heart out, a
(18:08):
damn bust wide open at the first opportunity of a league,
His angry wife, his demanding career, his desire to simply
feel something, anything, All of these he unloaded on Robin,
and Robin, accustomed now to catering to the needs of men,
played her role accordingly, petting him, peppering his cheek with kisses,
(18:31):
his ego with compliments.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Watch the smart mouth.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Harold Wayne had warned her before dropping her off at
Holly's trailer, as if she needed to be instructed on
how to read the temperature of a man. Joe didn't
ask Robin any questions about herself, and that was fine.
The game, of course, was to read him, become the
thing he desired, be interested, not interesting.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Robin wasn't here to make friends.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
You need to look the part, Harold Wayne told her,
as thanks to her hard work pleasing the right fella,
life got a lot easier for everyone at the twenty
nine The unknown cars driving around the parking lot, the
customers who ordered co colas but nothing more, the stare.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Downs with the bag man and the diner.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
The more often that Robin answered Whitehead's call, the less
these bothersome pests showed up at Harold Wayne's door to
honor her contribution to his livelihood as well as his
personal life. One evening, after Robin finished up another date,
Harold Wayne reached under the counter of the bar and
(19:54):
pulled out a large white box from Rippy's, wrapped up
with a pink bow. Robin pulled that pretty satin ribbon,
and inside she found a full length mink coat. She
wore that mink coat now as she gazed upon a
(20:15):
digging back hoe and ventured at last the question on
her mind.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Where is Phyllis?
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Harold Wayne, She's gone.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
He answered, eyes trained on the back Coe gone. Where
to the hospital having the baby? Harold Wayne nodded, And
then what she comes back home and y'all play happy
family while I go back to the back room.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
That's not at all what I had planned.
Speaker 10 (20:54):
He answered, Well, once you go back and I started,
I called the count across career at the times your
way here, talked to the sheriff.
Speaker 11 (21:16):
Now print the story, and he kept growing from there
and growing from there and growing from there. And you
quickly discover that once you print something like that, the
people that do have a pretty good idea about what's
going on, they will talk to you.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
You don't have to search them out.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
They will search you out. So I'd love to say
it was, you know, some active genius, but it wasn't people.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
I think people in general are just fed up with.
Speaker 11 (21:51):
Things, you know, criminal activity occurring, and if you knew
the right people, you didn't have to pay the price
for it.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He would title the article, I'm mad as hell, and
I'm not gonna take this anymore. The thing that quite
frankly makes me mad as hell. Rodney hammered into his keyboard.
As in the field just outside his window, George the
bull Cow and his bovine bride Mabel battled over.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
The highest grasses for chewing is that.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
There are quite a few well to do local hoodlums
who have been carrying on illegal activities in this county
for years, right under the nose of Sheriff Taylor McGregor
and Joseph Motley Whitehead.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Rodney wrote, I think it's.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Time that the people of Pennsylvania County took a good
hard look at the men we have put into public office. Here,
his fingers stung from pounding the keys.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
He'd pissed some people off. Sure, important people. However, Rodney
served the interests of the people, not the people.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
There's a newsman asking around about the whorehouses nosey nelly
circulated at the ladies hair salon. And as this intel spread,
a number of local characters emerged to share their thoughts
with Rodney. Housewives sped up with their husbands not so
secret dalliances, clergymen desiring one less temptation upon their flaws,
(23:24):
hi society folks wishing to squash vice in their fine city.
But there was one person Rodney just couldn't pin down.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
He toyed with the coiled cord of the rotary phone
as it rang.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Law office of Joseph Whitehead.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
A woman answered brightly, Hello, man, I speak to mister Whitehead,
who's calling. Please, it's Rodney Smith again, Gretna Gazette. I
just have a few questions about some case dismissals.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
I'm sorry, mister Whitehead is not available.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Mister Whitehead, it seemed to Rodney, was never available, and
more and more often, mister Whitehead's secretary found herself making.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Excuses mister Whitehead is preparing for a trial, or mister
Whitehead is visiting with a client.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
When in fact, mister Whitehead was snoring at his desk,
sleeping off the night before. Once she'd even found him
sprawled on the ground, a pool of drool.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Forming on the sleeve of his expensive suit. Sir, people
are asking questions.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
She'd dared to venture, once, waking him gently with a
nunch of her foot. Don't mean I gotta answer him,
Whitehead responded and went back to dreaming. Next, Rodney focused
his attention on the Sheriff's office. He traced the number
here into the dial, but much like Joe Whitehead, Sheriff
(25:06):
McGregor was unavailable. However, after a few transfers, he was
connected to Deputy bh Moss. How do you explain all
these dismissals of prostitution cases?
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Rodney inquired, of the law man.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
I ain't in a habit of talking to reporters, and
not only dismissals, Deputy, but lack sentencing when the cases
are tried.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
And the sheer volume of these cases, well.
Speaker 9 (25:37):
They are a bit out of proportion for a population
this size. Wouldn't you say, no comment, Rodney? You know
I can't talk about.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
This with you.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Well, people are starting to talk, Deputy. They're not blind,
and they don't like this kind of vice muddying up
the city of churches. Another thing they don't like is
powerful men do whatever the hell they want. You saw
how that was received nationally with Watergate.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Listen, Rodney, the deputy interrupted, Here's the thing, y'all.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
Big shot journalists might thank you the only ones who
care about justice. You might think us law men ain't
nothing but a bunch of back patent schemers. You might
even think, oh, Deputy mossh himself got a hand in
the pot.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
But I'm here to tell you in this, by the way.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Rodney is all off the record, but I'm here to
tell you that you got me did wrong.
Speaker 12 (26:43):
Wayne Hally was known to be Whitehead's best friend, and
on one occasion, Boyd took two girls to Holly's trailer,
a carriage hill trailer court on the Mount Cross Road,
but Holly and Whitehead didn't like Boyd's girls. Hally went
to call Dowdy, and Dowdy said he didn't have any girls.
Whitehead said that the fifty eight truck stop was going
to look like a swarm of bees hit it if
(27:04):
Dowdy didn't come up with some girls, because he was
going to send so many policemen out there.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Y'all can head on home.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Harold Wayne told the three women who sat board on
the couch and the lounge of the fifty eight. Midweek
was often slow, particularly in the middle of the night.
Harold Wayne used this as his excuse to dismiss his
night crew. Early normally devoted to eking out every single
(27:36):
dime that could be wrung from a business. It was
out of character for Harold Wayne to cut out early
at all, But tonight, hwd wanted to get home to Robin.
Robin worked harder than any woman he had ever known,
and she knew how to work any man. She was sharp, caustic,
(28:02):
even none of this simpering sexy baby shit that most
of the girls played. He had worried at first that
her quick tongue might cause problems with customers, but in
fact they came back.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
For more of whatever she was serving. Harold Wayne had
never been so in love.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
He'd kept their love as secret for as long as
Phyllis had been around. But now that Phyllis was out
of the picture, having taken the baby to her mother's
house after calling Harold Wayne a lying, cheating son of
a bitch, HWD was at last free to incorporate Robin
(28:43):
into his home life. No more trailer parks for Harold Wayne,
no more bus rides for Robin.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Together, they were moving on up.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
It was of Robin sleeping at last in his bed,
chestnut maine spread out over satin sheath.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
That Harold Wayne thought.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Now any moment away from her felt like an itch
on the soul, a nagging pebble in the shoe. Only
when with Robin did HWD feel hole satisfied. Her love
was like a drink of water after a lifetime in
the desert. Her love was a feast for a man
(29:31):
who hadn't even known he was starving.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
She filled him up to overflowing. It was of her,
he thought, when he told his.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Night crew, y'all can go on home.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
The last of the ladies had just departed when the
telephone rang yellow across the line HWD and being sounds
of fighting, an argument, a familiar voice hollering at someone.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
To get the hell out hw D.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Wayne Holly piped up over the scuffle.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
You gotta fix this situation. Send out some girls.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
And I mean quick, brother, what situation your buddy boy?
Just send us some bum. Bitch is just ugly as hell.
And my friend is getting mighty angry because his heart
was set on a good time. Send out some girls,
Send out Robin. He liked robbing a whole lot.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Robin, his angel sleeping peacefully for once. No, I'm sorry, Wayne,
h w D told him, but I just sent the
last of my girls home for the night.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
In fact, I was just about to head home myself.
Tell me my wont Robin.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
That familiar voice hollered the man Wayne told Harold Wayne.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
I told you all my girls are gone for the night.
He says, his girls are gone for the night.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Joe, give me the damn phone.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
Listen, my motherfucker.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Joseph White Hut growl at Harold Wayne.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
I ain't gonna tell you twice. You get me some
girls here tonight right now, or that truck stipe, but
yours it's about to look like a swarm of bees
hit it.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
