Speaker 5 (01:18):
All each other.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Was an angry script Coast guy that came Is that
Boston or New York? I think New York. I think
he's an angry East Coast person that moved out here
in the maybe the late nineties, hoping for something better,
(01:39):
a better life, and found nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And this weather is reminding.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Him of the promise of home and of the promise
of coming out west, like so many do. Uh, and
then their dreams die here, just like they would have
died in New York, and he's taking it out on us.
Speaker 2 (01:56):

a scripted show.
Speaker 1 (02:02):

Speaker 3 (02:14):
A reminder, by the way, this is a teacher's appreciation week,
nurses appreciation week. If you want to shout out to
teachers or teachers or nurses, obviously care how could you
record that.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Play it so everybody can know you do.
Speaker 3 (02:30):

like to appreciate. Leave us a talkback message on the
iHeart app. We'll talk about it. Also, coming up later,
we are going to be giving away your chance to
win a one hundred dollars stone Fire gift card.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
You know what it was?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
What was it?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
What do you think it was?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Well, remember earlier when we were talking about the poppies,
and we were talking about how we are kind of
dissing the people that are just going to take their
cell phone to go out into the Analyg Valley and
pose half naked in the poppies and lie down and
roll around in them and then take pictures and find
his angles. That was that guy we.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I mean, he's on his way out there right now.
He's wearing a crop top and super short felt hat
of some kind, oh a felt hat, like like a
floppy felt hat.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, yeah, what else is going on?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Time for what's happening.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
The biggest deal of the day, of course, was this
meeting today that took place between President Trump and Canadian
Prime Minister Mark Carney, the new one. The API says
they faced off in the Oval Office. It was a
little more cordial than I think a lot of people
were expecting. But neither one of them showed any sign
of retreating from their differences when it comes to this
(03:50):
ongoing trade war. They kept it civil for the most part,
but President Trump called to make Canada the fifty first
state once again, and Carney then insisted that Canada is
not for sale, and Trump said time will tell, and
he said never, and Trump said, will never say never.
So I mean that's kind of the way. But they
did it all with smiles on their faces.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well, adding a tragedy to more tragedy. There are questions
that I have about that dui suspect that killed bron
Levy in Manhattan Beach. This happened over the weekend. You've
no doubt heard about it. This kid, very popular Loyoa
High School tennis star, Bron Levy. He was killed by
(04:32):
a drunk driver who was driving with a suspended license.
She's thirty three. She was arrested at the scene. She
was driving on a suspended license from a previous drunk
driving arrest. Now, she was not charged in that previous
arrest with drunk driving. They let her go. Charged her
with a hit and run and damage to property. Had
(04:53):
she been convicted of that first dui, this would be
murder this time around. You drive drunk, you get CA,
you sign something that says I know if I do
this again, I'll kill somebody, or I can kill somebody,
And that's the way they get you for murder the
second time around. And I don't know what happened the
first time around where this got reduced from drunk driving
(05:13):
to a hit and run with the property damage. But
she should be charged with murder for this.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
She doesn't. She doesn't have to have that previous DUI
for it to be or does she.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's a yeah guarantee exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Check Out the hidden cameras in the old dance studio bathroom.
We've heard this story before, but in this case, it
was the Hermosa School of Dance on Aviation Boulevard. Concealed
cameras found in wicker baskets placed inside the unisex bathrooms.
Hopefully they find whoever put them there and throw them
away for a long time. There's a new city, a
(05:52):
new city in California called Mountain House Incorporated July.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I have a friend, roommate from college who lives in
Mountainhouse with her.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Two hundred and eighty or sorry, twenty eight thousand, residents.
It is now California's four hundred and eighty third city.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well, she's from El Toro in fact.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
And now from Mountain Him, Yes, exactly. Christy Noam, the
Secretary of Homeland Security, says that if you do not
have your real ID, you can still board a plane.
Of course, tomorrow is the day that you're gonna have
to get your real ID. But she told a congressional
panel about eighty five sorry, eighty one percent of travelers
(06:32):
do have IDs that comply with the real ID requirements.
Security checkpoints will also be accepting passports, obviously tribal identification.
When the deadline hits tomorrow, they said, those who do
not have an ID that complies with real ID may
be diverted to a different line. They may have an
extra step, But as of right now, you will still
(06:52):
be allowed to flock.

AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
We were talking about near death experiences just a short
time ago and how it is that changes people's attitudes,
Hiary and Shannon.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Hey, I almost choked to death in my car eating
lunch because I hadn't eaten all day. It's not funny,
and I was starving and I was scarfing down food
and I ate a piece. I was too big, and
I couldn't breathe, and I had barely any air in
my lungs, and I had did the Heimelick on myself.
(07:50):
And life has never been in the same sense it was.
I couldn't hard to explain.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yes, I get it. I mean, I've never experience that,
but I can understand why. Hey, this is scary.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You're looking right at me.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
I had a massive heart tech in twenty twenty one.
I was dead for about eight and a half minutes.
Thank God, I came back and everything, my perception of
death changed.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I bet did you hear him enjoying the birds?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, you gotta jump it out a little bit, damn right.
Learn that from Ferris Bueller.
Speaker 9 (08:35):
Hey, guys, I have a near death experience every day
listening to your show.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Okay, but you know what, I'm still kicking.
Speaker 10 (08:42):
Keep it going.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Hurtful, hurtful. We don't need your opinion like that. That's
not how good.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Bring me back on.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
A happier note, though, we have a bunch of people
that wanted to honor nurses and teachers today.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
My sister was a nurse and then a nurse practitioner
we're in general who headeded up the first HIV ward
in the mid nineteen eighties. That was before people even
knew what caused it, and she was really instrumental in
taking care of the HIV patients when almost no one
(09:19):
else would at Marine General.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Wow, that's the heart of that early to mid eighties.
Like that.
Speaker 11 (09:27):
Yeah, Hey, Gary, Shannon David here, and you're a Blendham.
My daughter's been a nurse for over twenty years and
COVID just about broke her and a lot of her
friends just the same. Some did leave articulate leave of absence.
She does have PTSD and I really feel for all
(09:50):
the nurses out there for going through that. But they're
still a hearticled love the show.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Thank you. That's hard to underestimate, hard to understate, no,
hard to overstate.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Hey, if I wrote this show, I would not have
had all those uplifting things right together like that.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh.
Speaker 12 (10:10):
I want to give a shout out to my wife,
Amy Arneson, who is a special educational school teacher for

True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
The story is true, sounds true?
Speaker 11 (12:07):
No, it sounds made up.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I don't know. Parry and Shannon present Crime. All right,
this is a warning. This is a pretty violent story.
This is the story of Catherine Knight and just to
let you know how it ends, she was the first
woman in the history of Australia to be sentenced to
(12:32):
life in prison. She's she had severe issues from go.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Can I have some nice music to start this story?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I don't even know what.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I don't even know what's music.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
It started off nice, just like every relationship. Catherine Knight
and John Price seem to be the perfect couple, bubbly,
charming and adored by each other's children. But the relationship
quickly descended into chaos as Catherine stabbed John thirty seven
(13:14):
times into capito. Well it started nice, bubbly, charming and adored.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I don't even know. Okay, let's back it up, all right, please?
Speaker 9 (13:30):
Shall we?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
She was born, Catherine was Can I get back my
nice music?
Speaker 8 (13:35):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Catherine was born and raised in Moore.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It was a dysfunctional family, which one isn't, which saw
her mother Barbara cheat on her father Jack with his
coworker and friend Kenneth.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
It's just kids stuff, bob.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
She had seven.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
She had seven siblings. She was a twin and oh,
this is really dark. I don't know if I can.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
She was abused.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
She was abused, yeah, by several family members.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
It's you cut the good music?
Speaker 8 (14:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
No, actually, no good parts of this story anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Apart from her twin sister, the only person she was.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Catherine was close to within her family was her uncle
Oscar Knight, who was a champion horseman by the way,
and then he killed himself.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
She got into high school, she was known as a loner.
She was known as a bully actually, that would prey
on the younger kids. She assaulted at least one boy
at school with a weapon, was once left injured by
a teacher, but it turns out that the teacher was
simply defending themselves against her. When she left school at
the age of fifteen, she couldn't read, She couldn't write.
(14:57):
She got a job as a cutter in a clothing factory.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
She was promoted pretty remember that pr Yeah, she was
promoted pretty quickly, given her own set of butcher's knives,
in fact, which she kept strapped to the.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Ceiling above her bed.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Guys, guys, quick little psa on life. If you hook
up with a woman, a girl, anyone, and they've got
a set up butcher knives strapped to the ceiling above
their bed, no sex is worth that.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
She This job that she had as at the local
abbatois what's an fancy word for slaughterhouse? Okay, that's that's
how she was making money and stayed in that job
until she was eventually put behind bars. She married back
in nineteen seventy three. First first marriage. He was a
(15:50):
heavy drinker. They met while they were working at the
slaughterhouse before they tied the knot in a drunken ceremony
a year.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Later, Catherine's mom said to the soon to be husband
at the ceremony, you better watch this one or she'll
e fin kill you, stir up the wrong way, or
do the wrong thing in year f.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
That's very similar to what my mother in law told
me on my wedding day.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Is it really.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
On their wedding night, Michelle, excuse me not, Michelle. Catherine
tried to strangle her husband yeap, later explaining it was
because he fell asleep after only having sex three times.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Guys, never mind?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Are their red flags? Is that what you're saying? I mean,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I mean that's a real ding dong, isn't it? Is
that a plus or a minus? Like your wife's pissed
off at you because you only want to go out
it three times.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
In one of their fights, she smashed him in the
head with a frying pan because he got home late
after a dart competition when he reached the finals. But
the detail of this story is incredible. Now is none
of this is the crime that put her in jail
for life without parole.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
But then again, totally I'm sorry, Like that's sad. Arrived
home late from a darts competition after he reached the final,
so he didn't even win it.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
He didn't even win. That sucks. Maybe that's what it
was had he come back with a trophy.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
This is like when you come home from fantasy camp.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And all I am is sore. Yeah, we'll continue the story,
and trust me, it gets pretty gruesome.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
We are in the middle of True Crime Tuesday and
we're talking about Catherine Knight. Where we left off. Well,
Catherine had a rough go of things right out the
shoot there as well. She had an awful childhood, sexually
abused by different men in her family throughout her childhood,
troubled relationships without men or with men throughout her adult life,
(17:53):
many many, many red flags.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
None were heated.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
There is a book written about Catherine, by the way,
it's called Blood Stains, and it all came to a
head in a murder in two thousand and one, but
up until that point, she.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Was a bully.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
We talked about how she beat people up at school.
She tried to strangle her first husband on their wedding
night because he didn't want to have sex more than
three times later, fractured his skull with a frying pan,
killed another partner's dog, and stabbed him with a pair
of scissors. A former detective says she was a horror
(18:31):
movie in the making, to which I say, that's a
pretty solid horror movie.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Up until that point, right.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah. She eventually begins an affair with a John Price
before nineteen eighty eight, when his marriage ended. She later
moved into his house in nineteen ninety five. He was
aware of her reputation. I'm going to repeat that, he
was aware of her violent reputation and decided to look
the other way.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Sometimes crazy women there the uh the craziest.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
He refused to marry her, and she tried to force
him by apparently recording him, videotaping him the stuff that
he had stolen from work, and then sending that videotape
to the boss. He even said at one point he
was so worried about her. He told his coworkers, Hey,
if I don't show up to work tomorrow, call the cops.
(19:23):
Guess what.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
He didn't show up to work the next day. Neighbors
found the officers. The next morning. This was March first,
two thousand. Why well, there were blood stains on the
couple's front door.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Police show up.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
They go inside and they find this guy not as
lucky as the first husband. No, they find his body
mutilated inside the home. She's found passed out nearby.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Why would you fall asleep? She took a bunch of pills. No, no,
no him. She stabbed him at first while he was sleeping.
You already know that what you're living with, and you
know you've just told everybody because you took a restraining
order out on her and told your coworkers this might
be the end of it. And then you fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Sergeant Robert Wells was one of the first on the scene.
He says, by the time I got there, Catherine was
leaving in an ambulance. She had taken enough pills, not
enough to kill her, but enough to make her sleep.
Sergeant Robert Wells says, I walked inside. Here comes I
walked inside and saw the human skin pelt hanging up,
completely intact in one piece.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Again, remember she worked at a slaughterhouse, so she knew
how to do this.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
John Price's decapitated and skinned body was lying on the
floor in the lounge room. We found his head. It
had been boiled and cooked in a pot on the stove.
There were a number of slices of rump taken off
of his human rump, baked in the oven with some
(20:57):
vegetables and put on plates with the name of two
of his children on them.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Good night. Everybody needs to say.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
She was sence life in prison without parole because they
don't have the death penalty there in Australia. She appealed.
She appealed five years later, lost and appeal thankfully.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I should use different seasoning. You're right, I should not
have made that meal the way I made it.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
During the sentencing, the judge said the last minutes of
his life must have been a time of abject terror,
as they were a time of utter enjoyment for her.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Well, and he had no idea. I mean she didn't
skin him a did she skin him alive? Did she
cut off parts of his rump for the rump roast
when he was still alive. Well, do we know the cause,
the manner of the whole, how did he die?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I would have said the stab the thirty seven stab
wounds to multiple times?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Are those stab wounds aside from the stab wounds that
go along with getting skinned.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I'm afraid you're asking specific questions that make you weird.
We can just pull back and say he died.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Well, it's I mean, it's a matter of science. It's
in the autops that's.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
What it is. Forensics is what you're concerned.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
But I mean, if you're stabbed thirty seven times, it's
a horrific way to die. But that's not getting skinned
alive and watching part of your you know, your your
rump being cut off for the oven with some parsnips.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
And with that The John Cobelt Show is up next.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
What is a parsnip?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
A beatroot? Ah? Yeah, perfect, or a root veggie or whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
The Hey throw that in roast that baby right up.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Of course you could soften it up, just like all
the other parts we'll see tomorrow. Stay dry, everybody, Yeah,

Shannon Show. You can always hear us live on KFI
