Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Whenever it's like no rhyme or reason to the ransacking, it's definitely staged. And nothing is missing. And nothing is missing.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
And what a badass. Oh, yeah. Organizing four very active young children's lives, that alone is hard to do. And then you add on being the den mother, being a part of the Boy Scout troop, a leader of the Brownie troop. Teaching stuff at church. Teaching a kindergarten class. Being a member of the choir. A president of the Women's Association. Like, she's literally everything.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Yeah. I can barely handle my shit, and I don't have half of that. I don't even have kids, and I don't know what I'm doing half the time.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
And she's like a young mom. Yeah. What's she getting into?
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Carol seems like the type of woman who, when she does something, she fucking... Yeah, she doesn't half-ass anything. No, Carol whole-assed everything, and you can see that.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
I did wonder when you said like she dropped out of school and they got married.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
And it's like, obviously that absolutely, if that was her choice and she was happy with that choice, then more power to her.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
I just wondered. I had like a weird little pinch. Well, it seems sudden too.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
So I wonder, because I don't know if it's going to go any further than that, but I'm like, it sounds like they were just like good friends. Yeah. Like legitimately good friends and maybe on his end he liked her.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
And you're like, you know, I kind of get like, I can see. Yeah, I get territorial. Because you think there's varying degrees of appropriateness when it comes to a relationship like that, when you're married especially. So it's like, I can understand that from an outside point of view, it can be like, oh, you know, they're just like, that's a nice friendship. And then I'm like, but you know what?
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
This is Morbid. And it's before Thanksgiving, but for you guys it's after Thanksgiving, I think. Isn't that weird? So we have not given thanks yet. Thank you. But because you have, I hope you had fun. Yes.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
If you're in the relationship, it's probably going to look a little different.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Oh, you gotta go. That's it. I don't know how this ends, so I'm not going to sit here and I'm not going to dog on somebody and say that it's definitely them.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Different life insurances from different companies and this happens?
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
That would make my red flags go flappy, flappy, flappy.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Which, like, okay, yeah, that all sounds great. Yeah. Why do you have eight?
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
That's the thing. Like, you're not answering my question. Yeah. Cotton. The most is six.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
We'll stay thankful for you. It'll be a whole thing.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Yeah, so he knows that's going to make him, but also it's like, they're going to find them. Yeah, that's the thing. So just be upfront and be like, listen, I know you're going to find these things and you're going to question me about them, so let me get ahead of it.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
And now he's got to call and be like, yeah, that gun piece found at that murder scene, that's my gun. But I promise you I wasn't there. Now he's got to go through the whole rigmarole.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
I know. A lot of people would be like, I'm not getting wrapped up in that.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Can all of these men stop stealing other people's shit? They literally cannot and will not. Yeah, sticky fingers Magoo gang here.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Like, how did that connect? When I said earlier, like, I'm pretty sure she doesn't have connections to organized crime. She doesn't. Whoa. But somehow they know about her.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
That just means more for you. It sure does. My kids like the vanilla ones with me.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Can you imagine how excited the investigators felt after going through this whole thing and finally getting this fucking gun, this murder weapon, in the middle of the woods? Like, can you imagine how... It must be the most insane feeling to finally get there.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
They pulled that thread and kept pulling it, and to end up with the actual murder weapon in the middle of the woods is wild for me.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
He had this motherfucker come into his house while his children were still in this house. His four children. He had a mobster with a fucking rap sheet sneak into his goddamn house while his kids were in there. Yeah.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
This is like, I'm feeling so betrayed lately from my, the people I love the most, what they love and what they don't love. Why? What else happened? Because you just said that. And then John, we were finishing up Follow the House of Usher.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Dick Anderson is like the guy who they were like, this doesn't even make sense that he's connected to all these criminals because he's like a petty thief.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
He's the one that you wouldn't even, my goodness. You wouldn't even expect him. That's the thing. And he's a brutal fucking monster.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
The other night, Mike Flanagan. I want to watch that. And he was like, yeah, I'm not like really into this. And I was like, I'm sorry, what? And he wasn't into Midnight Mass either. And he was like, and then he said the words. And Mike Flanagan, if you're listening. He didn't mean it. Mike Flanagan, if you're listening, you have a fan in this house. It's me. Not John.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Oh, what a piece of actual fucking shit. He had his son do it. You put that on your kid? Yep. Like, fuck this guy into oblivion. Into oblivion. Fuck this guy.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
He had a man, a criminal, who he has no idea what he's capable of hiding his house while his kids are walking around upstairs. He has zero moral compass.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
But John was like, yeah, I don't know if I really like Mike Flanagan's stuff. And I was like, I don't know how to accept that. Did you say, I don't know who you even are. I'm just not sure how you watch two things with Kate in it that is made by... Mike Flanagan. You said two things with Kate? Kate Siegel. Kate, okay. His wife. Oh, okay. Who's in both of them. Okay. Who's a phenomenal actress.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
But regardless... It's the perfect time for that tune. It's 1963 especially.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Wow, so he's just like a literal slimy piece of... Fucking dung. Yeah.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Yeah, just, like, someone that pays attention and is kind to her.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Which makes me even angrier that that motherfucker was out there doing everything he wanted and he was being that possessive.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
And here I was being like, oh, yeah, you know, like, I guess when you're in the relationship. But he was doing whatever the fuck he wanted out there in those streets. Yeah, whoever and whatever.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Exactly. She just has a male friend and you're, ugh. Literally just a friend. Fuck you, Cotton.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
She's just chef's kiss. And tell me you're not really into them. I don't understand that way of living.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Yeah, and I mean, those policies were set to expire the following month.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Well, and he wants all this fucking money. It's like you're making that money.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
It's not like you're struggling. It's not like one of these situations where it's like the family is struggling financially and they're like last, you know, and it's obviously it's never okay. But in those situations, there's a desperation factor that like plays into it.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
We're going to try again because I refuse to accept it, so I think I'm too afraid.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Why the fuck are you being so specific? Yeah, it's like, girl, come on. First of all, stop fucking a married guy. And second of all, when he's giving you a time frame, you got to wonder. You got to wonder what that time frame implies.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
No. Guys, we got to use the stuff between your ears here.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
So some guy, some high-powered defense attorney... who's like fucking everything with two legs, is out here telling you that he's got to get 85 life insurance policies on his wife, his young wife, his young healthy wife. His family, too. And he's got to do it quick, quick, quick, quick. And you know why? He had a vision. You know, it's so weird.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
I just have this weird vision that she's going to meet with a tragic accident and die. And none of you sat there and said, you know what? We might want to call someone and maybe put some tabs on that guy because I feel like that's shady behavior.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
They were just like, sure, sign it here. I'll get my check. Okay, cool. It's all money. Everyone's just like, whatever. I got paid. Yep. Money talks.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
An eccentric for life insurance. Like what? Hello? Are we really just giving them that? So we're really just like not taking all the responsibility off him.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
That's what I don't get. Like, I'm like, I could never, I can't imagine causing harm to John. No. Or having someone else cause harm to John. For money. Emotionally, physically, anything. Anything, but for money. Like, I, and it, like, I just can't, I can't even picture, I can't even picture the thinking that money is going to, like, Like, that you're going to hold that money and feel good.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Like, what is wrong with you? I think he would have. You have to be dead inside.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Especially on his birthday, because I was like, I do hate that he got to die peacefully in his sleep.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
He got to, like, at least be out. Yeah, that pisses me off. He got a lot of time on the other side.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
You're gonna die on your birthday if you do some fuck shit, okay?
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
That's the thing. Like, you'd be constantly thinking, like, why didn't I just ignore that? But it's like, why would you ever ignore that? And especially in 1963, you're not disobeying your father when he tells you to do something. Yeah.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
definitely not like that was just you did what you were told yeah by a parent who is supposed to be a safe place and that you are supposed to feel comfortable doing what you're told and why would you question that you know like he said like they never locked that door so he did kind of question it but he's not gonna out loud question it and he's not gonna sit there and think okay he's having me lock that because he's gonna have my mom killed and he doesn't want her to escape like that's not gonna be in your head you can never come up with that that's your worst nightmare
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
I'll wait to watch it with you. It's a banger of a miniseries. It's only eight episodes. And he is... Mike Flanagan's brilliant. And so is his wife.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
But I feel like you... TV show wise, I'm saying. He just has a way. And he... The atmosphere that he creates in his shows and movies, I think you will appreciate in a big way.
Morbid
Episode 627: The Murder of Carol Thompson
Oh, she's the one who said, like, I think something's going on over there.
