124. Being Remembered for Parricide: The Murders of Blake and Mary-Jo Hadley

Much of humanity is driven by some combination of the desire to make a lot of money and the desire to be recognized, known and remembered in some way, shape or form, long after their time here on this earth has come to an end.  It is believed that part of the reason for those desires is that people inherently quest for immortality.  The unfortunate thing however is that, as we touched on in last week’s episode on Stanislav Reshetnikov, some people seem to either lose the narrative of being remembered for positives, or they simply pass a point that they believe is of no return and they decide that being remembered for ANYTHING is better than not being remembered at all.  This week we are going to look at a story of a young man who was known to be quiet, reserved and mostly a shadow to those that he lived near and went to school with.  His story is one of drug abuse, alcohol abuse and complete boredom that led to what appeared to be a well thought out plan to commit an unthinkable deed, throw an incredible party and be remembered around the world.  He did perhaps wind up with all of those things, but he also will likely spend the rest of his life in prison and that too will always be a part of his legacy.  Intro Music: Provided by Gallagher Music Social Media for GBNF: GBNF on Facebook GBNF on Twitter GBNF on Instagram GBNF on TikTok GBNF on Youtube GBNF on Patreon
