Well, and it's that kind of thing where like when you thought of the idea of people sending in their hometowns, the idea is there's so many people that have like these kinds of connections. It didn't happen to you. It didn't happen in your family, but it happened in a way that affected you. It's like Michelle McNamara in I'll Be Gone in the Dark, where it's like these things happen around us.

And it affects us. And watching how it affects other people affects us. And if you're an empathetic human being, you know, the fact that these senseless murders happen, there is a ripple effect. And that ripple effect matters. And people, there is the tragedy and there's the part that shuts people down entirely. And then there's the part where then people die.

Rewind with Karen & Georgia - Episode 24: …And Twenty Justice Four All

1596.738

And the other reason I'm telling this is because not only was it a firsthand experience, I didn't live in my hometown when she was kidnapped. Um, but I lived in San Francisco and I would go home for holidays and I was back and forth all the time. Um, but Polly Klaus's mother is a woman named Eve and Eve was my boss at the last job I had when I lived in Petaluma, which was at...

The natural fiber children's clothing. Oh my God. Dun, dun, dun. It comes back around. So I actually didn't mean to make that reference, but then I was doing it. I was like, oh, I'm probably doing this on purpose subconsciously. But it was very strange because it's, there's a lot of, a lot of the times we look and we research these stories and,

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

Rewind with Karen & Georgia - Episode 24: …And Twenty Justice Four All

1643.278

And it's these places that are like, you know, when we when we talk about like the police messing up an investigation or things, you know, things getting screwed up or whatever. A lot of times it's because it's towns that have never had a crime to that degree, a murder or kidnapping or something where people don't have the experience.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

Rewind with Karen & Georgia - Episode 24: …And Twenty Justice Four All

1676.861

Yeah. And people and all police stations are and cops are more connected because of the Internet. Yeah. So that's like that whole East Area Rapist, the Golden State Killer thing where there were, you know, there were police departments who were keeping information from each other because they were the ones that wanted the collar.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

Rewind with Karen & Georgia - Episode 24: …And Twenty Justice Four All

1695.583

That's it's like all of that in the way that, you know, that criminal science is kind of developing because of the Internet. So my hometown is Petaluma, California. And it is one of those towns where when I was growing up there, I think the population was somewhere around 32,000. So it was a small farm town, basically. So the main town itself, there was like the downtown area.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

Rewind with Karen & Georgia - Episode 24: …And Twenty Justice Four All

1721.384

The east side had like more of like the newer development tract homes and Um, kind of everyone on the East side had like a two story house. Um, but on my side, on the West side, that was out where all the dairy and chicken ranches were. So that's, I grew up five miles outside of town. And, uh, so we basically were, it was the country.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

Rewind with Karen & Georgia - Episode 24: …And Twenty Justice Four All

1743.639

And so when we, like when I was growing up, we didn't have cable. Holy shit. We only had four channels. We only got four channels on our TV and we couldn't get pizza delivered to our house because we live too far out of town. And that was how a lot of kids I knew grew up.

1771.994

Yeah. It's it's weird. It's like, you know, we didn't have sidewalks. We didn't have we didn't have streetlights. Holy shit. So at night, I think now they do on the street that I grew up on. But like at the time, like there was when you drove at night out where I grew up, it was pitch black.

And we would sometimes have like a slumber party where we'd all lay in sleeping bags next to their pool. And we would lay on their chaise lounges and look up and there would just be shooting stars all night long. That's all we did was go, there's one, there's one, there's one. It was awesome. That's amazing.

So anyway, that's basically the feel of this town. This was the kind of town where, and I think I've told the story before in the show, but like in my town, um, it one time a guy on the street tried to purse snatch a lady's purse and And everyone on the sidewalk chased him up the street. Yes. It's that everyone knows each other. Everyone's from there.

And it's really cute. My friend, Heidi Peterson's mom actually had a house. So it's basically a park in the center and then the, you know, four streets squaring around. So it wasn't rural.

And Eve was in the front of the house. Her mom was in the front of the house. And somebody came in their back door, walked into her bedroom. And the rumor is that he said, which one of you lives here? Now, I know a bunch of small town rumors about this case and they could completely be bullshit. But I'm basically just telling you this. Oh, I want to hear those.

And the first time I went home, I drove... So to get off the freeway, I have to drive up Petaluma Boulevard. And then my parents now live... My dad lives in town.

So he saw all the terrible stuff that cable provided and he was like, I'm keeping that away from my kids. And yet it didn't make a fucking difference.

So anyway, what the first time I came home after my sister told me about it, I'm pretty sure it was for Thanksgiving. Um, Or maybe it was somewhere in the middle of November.

How long had she been gone by that point? Well, she got kidnapped on October 1st. Wow. And so this was probably three weeks later. It was everywhere. And it was like, it gave me the chills.

And apparently, so that happened the night of October 1st. The next day, they had to tell all the kids at Petaluma Junior High because she was in, I believe, seventh grade. Yeah. And she is the beginning of seventh grade.

Like if it was October, she'd probably only been in school for a couple months. They made the announcement that she was missing and they had flyers that said, have you seen me? And they said, after school, we want you all in. to hand these out everywhere you can. The kids took the flyers and all got up and left school right that moment and went out into the town.

But the problem was the night that it happened when the APB went out, it went out on the sheriff's channel, which was channel one. And that night, there was some Sonoma Valley police officers that found... So a woman was babysitting at her boss's house, and she saw a car that was on her boss's private road.

And so she called the police and said, I don't know who this guy is, but there's a car sitting down there stuck in a ditch and someone needs to come. So it was the from from what I saw on Wikipedia, it said Sonoma Valley Police. I'm not sure if that's accurate or what area they were in. Yeah. But it was it was somewhere kind of in the rural part.

Um, cause so it all goes kind of starts going by County. So it might've been Sonoma County sheriff, Sonoma County police, whatever, but they call the police to go out there and the police who went were on channel three. This was before they had united all of the APB channels. So if the APB went out for the sheriff's department, it only went out to the other sheriffs on channel one, I guess.

But it wasn't like that then. So these two cops go up and they check this guy out. They don't know. They don't like how he looks. They don't like where he is. They don't.

And they filed the thing.

Part of the legend is that Forest Park held the world's record for the highest ratio of dead people to alive people. But I'll leave that to you two experts to debunk. Daily City. Daily City or Colma, right? Yeah. Which is the real, I mean, all cemeteries. What if we got really competitive with Illinois where we're like, I think that belongs to coma. Okay.

Thank you both so much for being real as shit all the time. We can't help it. It's a crutch for you. You've inspired me to start therapy and become sober all in nine months of listening. Oh, my God. It's taken me nine years and I'm fucking only doing one of those things. Also, this is bullshit. Like, this sounds like someone, it's like, write in this email to make them feel better.

It's really changed my life. Double thumbs up. Yep. You are both very special to me. And I can't wait to see where the next year of listening takes me. And then it parentheses, it says more than likely to the first 100 episodes. Stay sexy and check your hometown facts and dead to a live ratios. Raelynn Sheher. Raelynn, I feel touched.

It's funny because we keep on making jokes, right? But we shouldn't when people are being touching with us. It's because we can't handle vulnerability. It doesn't feel great. Humor, cover it all up. With humor. You know, I've been rethinking Santa. He breaks into your house, he steals your cookies, and he vanishes until next year.

I have to say, looking at these menus, like the idea of working until 730, whenever I work to rolling out and then going to my kitchen and opening the kitchen and there's some salsa chicken enchiladas sitting there waiting for me to warm up that are restaurant quality and taste like restaurant quality is the reason that I love Home Chef. How about some shrimp carbonara fettuccine for you?
