IM BACK! And I’m not alone…this week my best friend Nick has joined us! This week we are talking about Ed Gein, AKA the “Butcher of Plainfield.” Was he a grave robber or a serial killer? Was his graveyard friend real? Why is CCTV footage so bad? All this and more on this episode of Shared Madness!

Today's episode is a bit different than my usual content... today we are talking about weird/odd motives that resulted in the horrible deaths of two women in two separate stories that take place in Chicago, Illinois and Macon, Georgia. This episode is titled "Weird Motive Stories," but regardless of the motive, two women did unfortunately lose their lives.

It is 10:48 p.m. on May 19, 1983. A red Nissan sports car pulled into the McKenzie-Willamette Hospital ER in Springfield, Oregon. A young woman jumped out of the car and began shouting: “Someone killed my kids!" Inside were three children, two girls and a boy, covered in blood. The children had been shot multiple times at close range (about 0-6 inches). 7-year-old Cheryl was already dead, 8-year-old Christie had suffered a stroke from immense blood loss, and 3-year-old Danny was paralyzed from a bullet wound to his spine. Their mother, 27-year-old postal worker Diane Downs, had a minor gunshot wound to her left arm. All this happened while Duran-Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf" played in the background. Who was the culprit? A shaggy-haired man? Two men in ski masks? A drug dealer? A corrupt police officer? Or somebody closer than we think...

I’ve been wanting to do this case FOREVER but I could not think of his name! I heard another podcast talk about it about a year ago (I believe it was Crime Junkie) but I just remember being like WTF? I was searching EVERYTHING like man, alligator, insurance, death, etc. and I kept getting weird stories about like a nail salon worked being attacked by an alligator while with a client. Anywayssss I finally found it and not a lot of people are really talking about it and it happened fairly recently in 2000 and did not end until about 2017 (but not really). Trust me y’all are going to be SHOOK by this week's topic and it is a doozy. This week we are going to be talking about Jerry Michael Williams. This story involves insurance, alligators, and a mother that everyone thought was crazy.
