[Music] [Applause] [Music] crime where we left off yesterday Captain we have two bodies that were found and the
detectives have now identified the victims as Brian King and Christina Benjamin detectives are going to have to
Canvas the area because now we have our third crime scene to investigate we already searched and conducted
investigations where both bodies were found and now we have the possible location of where the killer may have
picked Pi up the kids at their home asking friends and neighbors if anyone knew anything or saw anything is going
to be the top priority on their list and they had a person or two say that the kids were going to meet up with a kid
named Jason but no one knew Jason's last name so you can see we are piecing this
thing together pretty good here all right this is a difficult case but it's going to get worse so here's a little
warning moving forward we have to discuss a topic that nobody likes nobody likes it at all we have some cruelty to
animals to discuss detectives are going to get a very strange lead this is one of the strangest leads I've ever heard
of and this comes from a police report police responded to a strange call now this was after Brian and Christina went
missing but before their bodies were found this takes place in the town of inis Texas which is just about a
10-minute Drive south of Garrett where our two victims live police were called to the McDonald's restaurant and
longtime listeners of this show Micky Deeds yeah long time listeners of this show know that nothing seems nothing
good seems to happen at the McDonald's restaurant on the show this is at the McDonald's the old Mickey D Captain said
in Enis they're called because someone was there killing an animal oh God by the time the police arrived the man who
was doing something to an animal behind the McDonald's was gone the man killed a
calf and was further mutilating the animal a calf not a cat correct the man ran from the scene but at the scene the
police found a a 1982 tan Subaru and on the ground near the vehicle they found a bracelet with the
name Jason engraved on it all right so we have a tan vehicle we're looking for possibly somebody
named Jason and in this police report we have a bracelet found with the name Jason on it a tan vehicle abandoned
behind the McDonald's where a man was reported to have been killing an animal can you imagine being at work that day
and going I think that guy is doing something to that animal we need to call the
cops yeah I don't know this area very well it it seems like a a strange location for something like this to be
going on right doesn't this seem like a little out in the open for such a a weird and bizarre activity my mind
instantly went to picturing you know those like zombie movies where oh God where like the zombies have to like
catch a deer for food but they catch it almost like an animal would that's that's what it what I picture that's
strange because yeah I I had a very similar thought when when I first read about
this so this guy he is known to police they Trac the vehicle back to a one Jason Eric Massie and again police
know this guy he had a history a criminal record of what well Jason Massie was actually pretty much fresh
out of the clink he was sentenced to serve 120 days in jail this is due to an incident in
early 1993 the same year Jason was pulled over and he was driving drunk and in the car police found marijuana and a
a cat with a noose tied around its neck dead dead cat there's different reports okay and I I don't know which
one's better well I I guess the live one cuz the cops could save the cap yeah but
in all honesty Captain I didn't have the strength to further down that to go further down that road I thought
yesterday's episode was bad but you just one uped it didn't you you just had to go and uh that's not what I'm going for
here I am going for a case study believe it or not but there there's going to be
some bumps along the way obviously for all hate mail send it to Nick true Crim garage.com well Jason had a bunch of
sharp instruments in the vehicle as well so if the cat was alive don't use your imagination CU you don't really have to
some Reports say that these were these were tools sharp tools and other Reports say that they were weapons
so he was picked up and locked up for these you know it's a several charges actually and Jason's bizarre violent
history goes back even further a one-time friend of Jason's this was a female she told police that Jason was
stalking her at some point when she avoided him someone killed the family's dog and smeared the blood of the animal
all over the girl's vehicle in their driveway the girl in the family really firmly believed that it was in fact
Jason that did this but unfortunately law enforcement never had any proof of that and so Jason okay let me unack and
really nobody was ever arrested for that horrific act I think I understand what you're saying but I might have blacked
out for a second so he's stalking this girl she believes he's stalking allegedly
and then their dog the the family dog ends up dead mhm and they believe the blood from the dog was smeared on her
vehicle Jesus in retaliation for who knows what you know a lot of times when these for probably not saying hi to them
in class or for nothing at all because these we do know that these stalkers they they they come up with their own
thoughts their own ideas their own fantasies obsessions sometimes the relationship there is no relationship
and there stuff going on that is not going on that they perceive something that only they could right so who knows
what's going on through the mind of this person if in fact the person that committed those acts was Jason I think
if if he is the same guy that was doing a similar thing behind the McDonald's then it looks very likely to me that
that he's guilty of this as well well right we already have him pulled over with this cat situation so I think it's
not that big of a leap right so the the thing now here Captain is police need to
find and locate Jason Massie and bring him in for questioning because even though he was locked up in early
1993 he was out in time to have possibly been involved in the murders and again we know based off of eyewitness or or
witness reports that the kids were believed to have met up with somebody named Jason that night
that they went missing right so also the car yeah I mean there there's we're we're starting to get a nice trail of
evidence all leading to the same terrible individual now while all of this is going on police have already picked up
two guys we can Venture into this a little more if you wish later but I'll just go
ahead and throw this out there some of the reports say that these men were arrested in relation to the
murders I really question the word arrested in those reports and we can get like I said we
can get into that much more later but that's where the whole phrase of yesterday's show there were more than
one suspect in this case because there are reports of other people being arrested right these guys were
questioned by police because police knew that Christina and Brian knew these individuals and appears maybe even quite
well in fact some newspapers say that one of these guys was Christina's boyfriend the discrepancy in
age well I guess discrepancy is not the best word the difference in age between these two guys and Christina makes me
doubt the word boyfriend I think boyfriend and girlfriend are overused terms regardless of what their
relationship is or was one of these guys seems to have known both Christina and Brian but also Jason
Massie this guy his name is Christopher Nolan when asked by detectives do you know anyone who would want to harm Brian
and Christina this guy Chris Nolan says yes that the police should be looking for a former friend of his named Jason
Massie right Chris thought Jason was strange weird and violent he said he had seen Jason kill animals and Jason once
told him if there was ever a serial killer in the area that it would be him hold on a second you said something
there animals plural yes don't you think after the first time you go yeah I'm not
hanging out with that guy anymore yeah you have to stick around for the second time you go oh maybe that
was an accident well their relationship is it is a a strange one and we'll get into
that a little bit more as well so more importantly what I want to look at here Captain is who is Jason Massie who is
this glomba right Jason Eric Massie is a high school dropout and he has blonde hair and owns a tan Subaru right that
was the one that was found at the an animal mutilation scene the back of the McDonald's he was in jail on a 21-day
sentence but was released a week I I have here for whatever reason a week or so before the teenagers went missing I
think my notes are incorrect here I actually think that it was more it was just over a month that he
was released before they went missing right one of the guys questioned by police said he had introduced Jason to
Christina so now they have proof or at least a witness saying Jason knew one of the victims right Jason grew up about as
poor as one can and he was raised by a monster of a woman Jason was only 20 years old at the
at this time of our story he was born in 1973 to either a single mother or some Reports say Daddy left just before or
shortly after the boy was born Jason's mother was a substance abuser and a child abuser she beat Jason and his
younger sister often with a belt she she also kept food from her kids the reports I saw said that she
would keep all of the food for the house in her personal bedroom under lock and key and sometimes the kids were only fed
scraps you know after Mom already ate dinner right this is you know when she's hiding the food or locking it up in her
bedroom this stuff is going on in the house when this family was fortunate enough to live in a house or an
apartment because they were so poor that sometimes they were living in Mom's vehicle now mom brought a lot of
terrible men around the kids too some of them would hit and Bully Jason and in fact it's strongly believed that one of
them sexually assaulted Jason when he was young I saw a couple different reports of of what age he would have
been but he would have been young Captain this would have been if it happened it happened between the ages of
like 8 and 10 mhm and Jason and his sister were constantly showing up to school with unexplained bruises they
were dirty and they were hungry child protective services was called a few times but it seems like maybe the Ever
Changing living situation the Ever Changing addresses living in and out of a vehicle at times this really seemed to
get in the way of CPS ever truly stepping in and even possibly removing the kids out of that terrible
situation and in Jason's case it it may have been too late by that point even if they would have
stepped in and taken Jason from the house and I think we'll see why now a few weeks ago we covered the still
unsolved Evansdale murders in a statement from one of the victim's families to the unknown killer
there was a very interesting phrase that I want people to keep in mind in regards to what we've just
discussed the interesting phrase to me and and you Captain was hurt people hurt meaning of course sometimes victims
become victimizers and that is what I think we are seeing here with Jason as he grows
up and he's getting bigger and stronger the once little boy who suffered so much
pain dealt out by his mother and the company that she kept well Jason goes from being abused to abuser right I mean
it's always that question uh chicken or the egg or or nature or nurture and in this case we have evidence that that the
nurturing was was not correct there was no nurturing no just punishment and and abuse
and you know on some level um torture there are also reports that he once he got older he bullied and beat up little
kids uh kids that were younger weaker than he was right and of course we know he suspected of killing innocent animals
in his early teens he gets involved quite heavily with drugs and alcohol and we always know that drugs and alcohol
never make a bad situation better they always make a bad situation worse this leads to
him this leads to him dropping out of high school we talked about Katherine ramsin a little bit in the last episode
and we're going to talk a little more about her in fact she's a great true crime author she wrote a piece
titled this is this is a piece that anyone can find on the crime libraries archives the piece is very fittingly
titled all about Jason Massie from victim to victimizer and I recommend everybody
check that out if they want to learn more about this case so let's see what kind of
evidence that we can get on this guy right so first of all we have the witness statements persons who knew
Massie says he was going to become a serial killer that he killed animals a younger female saying he stalked her
during questioning they couldn't get Massie to confess to the murders law enforcement does have statements of
persons saying that one or both of our young victims had planned to sneak out that night with a guy named Jason but
Jason denies knowing either victim and he says he didn't even own a gun well that's a nice piece of Defense
MH but we have a girl come forward and she says she saw and interacted with Jason Massie the Knight I'm sorry the
evening leading up to the murders she says in his he stalking her I I don't know there there's not a a
detailed report about what they were doing I don't know if they were just hanging out or if it was a casual hello
but the important part here is she's saying that that she saw him in the possession
of a gun that evening she also saw him in possession of a box from a local Walmart that contained
handcuffs so now it's off to Walmart to continue this investigation after talking with staff
they get an additional lead a male sales clerk working at the Walmart picked Jason Massie out of a lineup he said
that on July 22nd so this is just 4 days before the double homicide he was working and sold
the man that he picked out of the lineup Jason Massie 22 caliber bullets two knives and
handcuffs and we know that 20 22 caliber was used to kill Brian now I'll put some
pictures of Jason up on our Instagram so if you want to check that out or also one of his pictures will be the image
for the episode the best way I could describe him is he's not a badl looking kid
um he actually kind of reminds me of Dave mustain from the band Mega Death kind of that uh strawberry blonde
hair it's long I didn't piece that together but I I get what you're talking about I make I'm making that connection
now but somewhere Mr mustain is cursing your name Captain cursing you well he he
can curse me all he wants in fact actually he's not tuning into this show at all I'm just saying if I was casting
the role of Dave mustain Young Dave mustain you know this guy could fit the fit the the
role yeah so I look I know it's convenient to shop at places like Walmart because they carry everything
but when you got a guy in the checkout lane and he's purchasing bullets knives and
handcuffs I don't I don't know what's going on like well the bullet in the knif you have a coupon for any of that
sir yeah the bullet and the knife is not that big of a deal once you throw the handcuffs in there you start going what
what what are we doing here right right so let let's take this a step further shall we police then learned that a 22
caliber gun well it had recently gone missing magically missing from Jason's grandmother's house so he says part of
his defense to police is I don't even own a gun well it's looking like you were out purchasing bullets and there
was a gun that went missing from your grandmother's house a gun that you had likely had access to did he say I don't
even know that lady right she's not my grandma so if Jason is the guy it turns out he didn't have to own a gun no he
could just steal one from a family member now this timeline and the Jason is the murderer theory is really filling
out nice ly for a strong case against this boy it's kind of becoming a no du mhm well police went ahead and placed
Massie under arrest but they are not done building their case they get a search warrant they want to search his
vehicle and his place of residence and they do here are their findings they find newspaper clippings about the
homicides of both Christina and Brian they find two knives handcuffs a hammer these items were tested and it was
confirmed that they found small amounts of blood on these items they discovered small blood stains inside Jason's car
given his horrific hobby of hurting animals though that's not really surprising to me and he has items with
blood on them um additional items that I don't have listed here but still no gun
or items belonging to the victims those were not found in the car they also found duct tape electrical tape and some
more blonde hairs even with all of this what is looking like mounting evidence Jason is
still talking with police but not confessing to anything in a weird tactic though he
offers them up a hypothetical and this is where the killer whoever that may be right
hypothetically right can you see this conversation okay where the killer whoever May that may be may have
disposed of the still missing remains mhm the detectives even went out with him and they walked around in the area
where the bodies were found as he was hypothetically telling them where the killer may have put these
items detectives did try the psychological angle they made what can only only be viewed as
strange comments about the crime scene photos when showing them to Jason they did get what detectives beli
to be a reaction from him from Jason when he was viewing the crime scene photos that this was not his first time

[Music] Freedom welcome back this uh Jason massie's real douche well you will be happy to hear
captain that Jason Massie was arrested on August 6th so a lot of investigative efforts went
into this in a rather short period of time the two youths went missing July 26th Massie is suspected of killing and
mutilating the calf on the 28th the two victims bodies were found on the 29th of
July and the arrest warrant affidavit for Jason Eric Massie was filed on Friday August
6 some good old-fashioned detective and police work going on in Ellis County Texas in the summer of 1993 in my humble
garage opinion massie's picture was printed in the newspaper this is going to generate another
lead this is the owner of a car wash they come forward and they say hey I saw this guy that's in the paper
Jason Massi late one night throwing a whole bunch of stuff into a trash bin this would have been near midnight right
he says that the boy spotted him the boy being who he believes to be Jason spotted him and packed up his stuff and
left in a hurry the police went to this trash bin and they're going to start pulling
items out of the dumpster and when they went through the contents from this Car Wash's uh dumpster and they went through
the contents of the car wash 's vacuum altogether they recovered some items that we can only look at them as
evidence right one is a payroll receipt with Jason massie's name on it so it appears that this guy might be right
thinking hey I think I saw this guy Jason Massie there at the car wash that night they also found a red bandana with
blonde hairs stuck to it and then we have lab results that come in and these blonde hair hairs are
confirmed to be that or here's the thing with with hair and fiber evidence you have to keep in mind that
what you are getting here is an expert opinion unless they do DNA testing or are able to we should clarify that on
the hairs themselves we can't confirm 100% that hairs belong to another person it just doesn't work that way you you
can't you can't run those tests what getting is you're getting an expert's opinion saying this hair matches this
hair and this hair came from a victim and this hair came from an item that was found in a vacuum cleaner or in a trash
bin right in The suspect's Possession correct correct now what about the lab results on these other items that were
found these tools that's right we still have the the knives the handcuffs the hammer and there were several locations
within Jason's vehicle where they believed that they found blood stains as well it was confirmed that on most of
these items it was in fact blood and the lab results were that that blood matched
that of the victim specifically Christina Benjamin the thought there being that as
far as her his car goes is that she might have been transported in the car while still
bleeding that's a little a little difficult when I see that statement Captain because I've seen other statements that
says law enforcement had reason to believe that the victims were killed where or near where they were
found well before trial Jason's defense team requested a change of venue this was
denied there were two real major highlights at the trial both coming in favor of the
prosecution one was the testimony from that former friend of Jason's remember this is 18-year-old Christopher Nolan
Nolan told the court that Jason said that he wanted to have sex with Christina Benjamin and he wanted to kill
her and mutilate her Nolan being just a really great guy with a good moral compass and a big brain on his shoulders
said I didn't pay much attention to him because he was always talking about killing girls so didn't think to tell
anybody about this again this goes back to the this is the same guy that stuck around him after he witnessed him
killing an animal or hurting animals as you pointed out the the the man's words were
plural so maybe he didn't pay too much attention because by his own testimony at court he and Massie their time spent
together he says they spent much of the 1993 summer driving around drinking and doing LSD and cocaine wow so you have to
wonder does Nolan Go I mean then you wonder how credible is his testimony right this guy's been high on acid and
cocaine for the whole summer and now he's telling me that this guy said this stuff and also what is HE capable of
right right and there in lies the question and we we hinted around this earlier before this Nolan character Christopher
Nolan he would be one of the two people one of you know when it was stated that two friends were arrested and questioned
in the murders of these two kids he's one of those people that's how they get his statements that's how they
get him to court to testify against Jason Massie the reason why I questioned the statements in the newspapers at the
time and this was stated in '93 and in '94 and then later by um people that are against the death
penalty I question the statement of Christopher Nolan and this other guy being arrested in connection of the
murders what my belief is Captain is that the papers just got that wrong that they made a leap that wasn't necessary
Christopher Nolan's not a great guy and that's why his testimony yes it's in favor of the prosecution but for reasons
we just pointed out with the drug use he's he's also a criminal himself his test his testimony is not not super
great what where I'm going with this is I believe they knew that this guy likely
knew both Jason Massie and knew the victims or one of the victims right and this guy is somebody you could pick up
on other charges and now you're like hey you tell us what you know because this minor stuff that you did we don't really
care about check out what the what the door said when you walked in this said homicide division we care about who was
killed we care about these victims that were murdered this little petty stuff that you're doing we don't care so much
about as long as you tell us and help us out with this homicide investigation and
I say that and I would be willing to wager what few possessions I actually have because we have every sign pointing
to Jason Massie all along away right just so much evidence and so much things to support him as being the number one
prime suspect here yeah yeah I mean the car the fact that he knew the victims fact that he said he wanted to have sex
with one of the victims uh his background his criminal history his um capacity for violence MH I mean he's
just uh one of the worst of the worst and and really I you know I hate to say this but
you you almost think that if if he was a little bit more mature or sophisticated
as a killer we might there might not be answers in this case and there might be more victims
right we we may not have had so much evidence lead us to Jason Massie we we may have been sitting here going we
still don't know who did this and we talk so much about when when a small child or when somebody is abducted we
jokingly talk about what I what I love to report on the old pervert Roundup this is a very similar situation where
you're going okay we are pretty certain we know who did this we've arrested this
guy we can't get him to confess so let's do the what I'm going to call the loser
criminal Roundup find anybody with a criminal background and and some somebody we know that's out committing
crimes that knows the perpetrator or who we believe to be the perpetrator let's pick him up and see what this guy will
tell us now the second highlight for the states case this I love this because you know
this is so much TV talk Court Court TV talk it says then during the trial a bombshell you know
you no Law and Order yeah a bombshell well this is most certainly a bombshell I'm not laughing about that but what I'm
kind of laughing about is we already have what I believe to be a mountain of evidence against Jason Massie yeah so a
bombshell wasn't even required but still we have one and the I'm going to give you the short of it because this
is reported on at some length and having discussed all the horrible things that we have so far I still haven't been able
to get to my chicken salad sandwich so what happens here Captain we have a hunter who is trekking through the woods
yeah that stumbles upon a rusty cooler okay he decides to open it up no to figure out you know why is this
cooler just randomly out here in the middle of the woods well inside he finds what's in the box dozens of skulls from
animals small skulls from animals he also finds four spiral notebooks now these notebooks are titled
slayer's book of death and they're volumes one through 4 in at least one of these
notebooks it's also written out the thoughts of Jason Massie by Jason Massie well this seems
quite con venient for the states case yeah this book belongs to Jason Massie please return to Jason
Massie Kathleen ramsin very astutely describes this as Jason massie's blueprint for murder and mutilation he
detailed his crimes or crimes that he wished to commit he also detailed his crimes against animals he said that he
particularly liked strangling them and decapitating them so that he could keep their skulls
keeping them as trophies or souvenirs remember Massie wrote that killing gave him an adrenaline rush a high a turn on
he had a love to mutilate he also wrote about his admiration for famous killers particularly Bundy Manson and uh
Lucas apparently he aspired to be Henry Lee Lucas yeah yeah he's he's the one uh
yeah I killed hundreds of people but I can't seem to remember where I put put any of the bodies sorry about that
um he says in his writings that he wants to have better numbers than those killers that he seems to like and really
what I think is fascinating here though from an investigative standpoint and for some of the things
that we were citing in the trailer what we see in these notebooks or what the experts say that they see in
this in these notebooks right is all of this talk all of these writings start off as
fantasies they morph their way into plans like kathlyn ramsland said a blueprint for murder it goes from
fantasizing about killing to how can I kill how do I plan on carrying this out how can I get away
with it yeah and we see this later in history as well with the Sandy Hook um some of the notes there or or even like
with some of the journaling for Coline mhm um it seems like though it's more like a a younger a younger killer thing
well in his own writings Jason Massie describes himself as a murder machine and he states that he wants to grab
Society by the throat and shake them with Terror until they're awake and realize what's up so they will remember
who I am and when and why I came their way grab him by the throat to let them know what's up grab Society by the
throat to let them know what's up okay mhm so not only does he fantasize about killing mutilating and raping victims
Captain but as said he's planning but what you're seeing inside of that too is the admiration for these other killers
and then saying that I want to grab Society by the throat and make them remember who I am and when and why I
came their way he wants the notoriety right that he wants he wants to be famous like those people that he's wrote
about in his notebooks he idolizes these individuals well you know he was tortured and you know abused and
probably made to feel like nothing you know so I I think there's some level there of going well I'll show everybody
and and really adopting instead of um you know take it take it out on the people that abused you he really like
adopted that Society all has the same uh views as his abusers well and a lot of times these serial killers whether they
were abused or not some of them have been some of them have not been right but a lot of times
what they want to do is they perceive or see themselves as a weak person no matter what show they put
on for those around them underneath all of it all they see themselves as a weak person and they only believe that they
can attack terrorize or control someone weaker than them now well that's why he's you know
picking cats and right I mean there's nothing more innocent than animals they don't they don't even know what you're
they don't know why you would be attacking them right in October of 1994 Jason Massie was found guilty of
the murders and sentenced to death now while on death row he converted to Christianity clay strange sure he did
Clay strange is the prosecuting attorney who successfully convicted Jason Massie and
got the death penalty for him right he said quote it's impossible to assign a motive to a case like this I think he
did it because it was pleasurable to him and in regards to the four volumes labeled Slayer book of death strange
said of Massie quote it was just playing with numbers and it all centered around
killing generally killing people but by far his favorite targets were 11 to 13-year-old girls it's almost a miracle
we caught him as quickly in his career as we did he's as evil as anybody I've ever encountered I've met a lot of
people meaner but no one more evil in an interview from Death Row Jason Massie told the inis daily news
I've changed and people do change as we grow we change I have a lot of anger about the stupid mistakes I made at the
same time I recognize anger is just an emotion James King father and stepfather of the victims told the Dallas Morning
News that he was glad authorities nabbed Massie when they did and that the wouldbe serial killer didn't have the
chance to act more on his fantasies MH he says he's the devil he would have been worse than Ted Bundy it's a shame
he started with kids well and and we see this with a a lot of killers but it just his appearance
just and and some of these pictures when you pull up these pictures of him there
I mean there's a couple there's there's definitely this black and white one where it's just you he just he's a
pretty regular looking kid well there's a lot of pictures in this is maybe after
he becomes uh um a Christian in his eyes or whatever uh where there he's smiling a lot in the
picture uh so he comes off as happy you know um there were pictures of him at the time of his
arrest and and going into trial where he is smiling and appears to be happy and some people wonder if that's because
he's getting the notoriety that he sought by being arrested by being taken to trial and he was even nicknamed the
Cherub Face Killer because he is so youngl looking and again he I mean he he's 20 I I've called him a boy a few
times he's a man but he he's got a very boyish baby face or whatever you want to
call it and that's what's always shocking to people when they when they hear about a crime so horrible and
horrific as this one and then they see in the paper two weeks later oh this is the guy we think that did it and then
people expect to see a grotesque looking monster and often that's not the case he's just a just a 20-year-old average
looking kid well I also wondered too some of some of these individuals we've seen it with Bundy and and others that
or or I I'd say the best example I could give would be dmer where he would say Okay I I committed this horrible murder
I'm not going to do that anymore and then the urges and the fantasies and stuff would grow and grow
and grow and they do another murder and so it's like yeah that this was just his
first murder but maybe there was something about getting caught that he's like okay
well I don't want to have these urges I don't want to have these thoughts I don't want to have
whatever I thought about that too and I considered it for a while until I took into account the fact that after he
murdered the two teenagers he was seen behind the McDonald's killing another animal but
that's why I'm saying maybe it's like well I killed these people now and I'm still not
arrested yeah so maybe it's he I think he was still worked up from from the the murders themselves and still working
through that what we are very lucky in regards to is that this [ __ ] couldn't keep his mouth shut right he needed to
you almost wonder like is writing about all of these horrible violent fantasies was that drawing that out of him and
making it a reality sooner or was it delaying it by having him live through the pages and through his words or
through telling friends while he's on LSD that he wants to kill and mutilate you we don't know there's
there's no way for us to discern that but it's an interesting thing to to ponder well he's a piece of [ __ ] and he
deserves to die well on April 3rd 2001 in Huntsville the state of Texas was ready
to carry out the execution death sentence of convicted murderer Jason Eric Massie Texas State prisoner number
99121 his final meal it's a big one Jason's last meal was three fried chicken quarters fried squash fried
eggplant mashed potatoes snap peas boiled cabbage three corn on the cob spinach broccoli and cheese one pint of
caramel pecon fudge Tin Roof ice cream and a pitcher of sweet tea to wash all that good stuff down Jesus that's a
10,000 calories might be might be more than that now remember it was it was after
this that Texas changed their rule on these these meals because they were getting crazy they now have put a limit
on was he the [ __ ] that ruined it for everybody no um the guy that ruined it for everybody we actually covered this
on the show yeah it was I can't remember his name I I'm going to tell you right now it was Lawrence Russell Brewer he
was one of the racist Nazi [ __ ] that killed Jesus yeah well there's no other way for me to describe him he was killed
uh James Bird yeah he was the one that ordered all he ordered more food than that than what we just went through and
I'm not going to go through the whole menu here of what Brewer ordered but he ordered a ton of food and then all of a
sudden when they delivered he's like yeah I'm not hungry and so they did away with that in part because people were
just taking advantage of such a thing now in Jason's final statement he said I would first like to
speak to the victim's family first of all I would like to say that I do not know any of y'all and that's unfortunate
because I would like to apologize to each and every one of you individually I can't imagine what I have taken from you
but I do want to apologize and I want to let you know that I did do it you guys know that I am guilty and I am sorry for
what I have done I apologize and I know you may not be able to forgive me in this life and in this world but I hope
sometime in the future you will be able to find it in you to forgive me and I want you to know that Christina she did
not suffer as much as you think she did I promise you that I give you my word I know you guys want to know where the
rest of her remains are I put her remains in the Trinity River I have said that since I have come to death row I
want to apologize to you again one thing that I find interesting here captain that we don't often get in these
situations is this this deathbed confession we don't have to sit here and wonder all of these years later did they
convict the right right guy or the wrong guy we saw from the evidence at trial it
all looked like it was him but there was still some question if there was somebody else involved or somebody else
in the vehicle when Jason picked up these two kids it appears by his deathbed confession that he is taking on
full responsibility of having committed these murders and at least saying where he put the rest of the remains right and
he's also claiming that this is not the first time he's confessed to this since he's been on death row yeah he went on
to say a lot of things he had a rather lengthy final statement the next part he addresses his family and I I feel like
I'm giving him too much to to go through that I mean people can find it you can find it online or in the old newspapers
if you dig deep enough regarding mainstream media Med of this case in this story there was an episode on
Forensic Files titled pure evil I watched that it it was ceso colen what it's it's this gu Chris Dee a bit
because he watches that show all the time he's like and then they have words like and then we find some assess Coline
oh some word we've never heard yeah I like the show I didn't like this episode I thought that it was not very detailed
I don't think I it left really a lot of it just wasn't a great episode it it was
it didn't tell the whole story in my opinion there is a book out there called Born bad by Bill
Cox and it's described as a closeup look at teenage killer Jason Massie and describes his fascination with serial
killers Ted Bundy and Henry Lee Lucas childhood torture experiments in brutal rape murder and mutilation of a young
girl and then the killing of another teenage boy I was unable to get my hands on that book it looks like it could be
pretty interesting but again I do want to point out that Katherine ramin's article that she wrote for the crime
library for court TV's old Crime Library some of the older True Crime fans will remember reading that back in the day
quite a bit but her article that is available online is titled all about J and Massie from victim to victimizer and
really I think that's the best thing available out there if you want to learn more about this horrific
[Applause] [Music] story and just real quick uh update in the Ahmad arbitary case the trial has
started a lot of people believe that this father and son that hunted down a mod it was racially motivated I think
now there's evidence that has come out in the trial that supports that and then to me they should be charged with a hate
crime therefore the penalty would be a lot more severe it's hard to cover those cases when they're so new and so lack of
information but these are also important cases to cover and now with the trial happening we'll have more updates and
obviously more information as that trial continues it's really good to see that everything in regards to that case
continues to move in the right direction a little recommended reading before we wrap things up today here Captain if you
will we are recommending Confessions of a serial killer the untold story of Dennis Raider the BTK killer this is by
Katherine Ramson through jailhouse visits telephone calls and written correspondence Catherine worked with
Raider him himself to analyze the layers of his psyche using his drawings letters
interviews and Raiders unique codes she presents in meticulous detail the childhood roots and development of one
