MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories
In the Weeds (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)
18 Nov 2024
On a Monday afternoon in 1986, medical staff at a clinic in San Antonio, Texas were starting to get worried, because their most respected nurse had not shown up for work and nobody could get a hold of her. So later that morning, two of the nurse’s colleagues drove down to her apartment. But when they got there, they found two notes taped to the door. They were messages from the nurse’s family, who had been looking for her since the day before. By the time the nurse’s family filed a missing person’s report, investigators at the sheriff’s department were tied up investigating another mystery – the death of a teenage girl found murdered earlier that morning. And after getting the description of the missing nurse, investigators started to wonder if they had a serial killer on their hands who was hunting down blonde women... or if there was some other connection between the women that they just couldn’t see.For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On a Monday afternoon in 1986, a detective sergeant in San Antonio, Texas sat in his office and puzzled over two separate cases that landed on his desk that morning. One was a missing persons case.
A mother of two never showed up to work that morning at the clinic where she was a respected nurse, and none of her friends, coworkers, or family members could get in touch with her. The other case involved a murder. A body had turned up in a grassy field along a deserted two-lane road, and it appeared to be a teenage girl.
The sergeant looked back and forth between the description of the missing mom and the pictures of the dead young woman. These women were so similar in appearance that he wondered if this may have been the work of a serial killer.

On a muggy Saturday night on June 7th, 1986, 29-year-old Kathy Lipscomb parked her car in front of an apartment complex in San Antonio, Texas, and reached into her purse for a tube of lipstick. Kathy tilted the rearview mirror toward her face and touched up her lips. And as she looked at her reflection and swept her platinum bangs to the side of her forehead, she almost didn't recognize herself.
There was a glow on her face that she hadn't seen in a long time, not since she'd been a newlywed. These days, the happy parts of Kathy's marriage felt very far in the past. Over the last eight years, she and her husband had had two children, who they both loved deeply.
But Kathy had come to feel increasingly trapped in her life, until just about a month ago when she and her husband had finally agreed to separate. To Kathy, that decision felt like it gave her back her freedom, and she knew that who she was seeing now in the rearview mirror of her brand new car was a brand new woman.
