Hi friends, how are you today? My name is Bailey Sarian, and today is Monday, which means it's Murder, Mystery, and Makeup Monday. Hi. If you're new here, hi, my name is Bailey Sarian, and on Mondays I sit down and I talk about a true crime story that's been heavy on my... noggin, and I do my makeup at the same time.
If you're interested in true crime and you like makeup, I would say subscribe because I'm here for you on Mondays. So today we are diving deep into a story that has like all the elements of a Shakespearean tragedy. Oh yes, a world famous athlete, a beautiful model, a brutal crime, and a courtroom drama that really captivated the world.
Today, I'm gonna be talking about Oscar Pistorius, the man who went from being a celebrated sports hero to a convicted murderer. Oscar's story isn't just about like one night of violence. It's a tale of triumph, fame, and a fall from grace that really shocked everyone. So let's start at the beginning.
right, we always do, with the birth of a baby boy who would go on to be known as the Blade Runner. Oscar Pistorius was born November 22nd, 1986 in Johannesburg, South Africa. His family wasn't the wealthiest by any means, but they were comfortable when he was growing up, like the family lived a decent middle-class life. So when Oscar was born, I guess it was clear from like the start that his life
would be anything but ordinary. He was born with a congenital birth defect known as fibular hemimelia. Try not to laugh, but if only you knew how long I've been sitting here trying to get that word out of me. So basically what I'm trying to say is he was born without the fibula in both of his legs. Now the fibula is kind of important. It's like one of the two long bones in your lower leg.
Now it's a crucial bone because it supports the larger tibia. And without it, walking can be a severe challenge. Now this condition, fibular hemimelia, I guess it's like, it's pretty rare. And it happens early in pregnancy between like the sixth and the eighth week when the limb buds are forming. Now the exact cause I guess is like, it's still a mystery.
It's possible that it has something to do with the activation of the genes responsible for forming the baby's legs. But they don't really know. No one really knows. For some, the condition is mild affecting just like one limb. and it can be corrected with surgery. But in Oscar's case, the deformity was pretty severe. So I guess his feet were also malformed.
He had just like two toes on each foot, the big toe and the index. So upon the doctor's recommendation, the parents, you know, they had to make a tough decision and they decided to just have Oscar's legs amputated. From like halfway between the knee and the ankle at just 11 months old. You know, the doctor just assured it was going to be like the best option for him.
So Oscar was fitted with prosthetics before he turned two years old. And then by 17 months, he was walking. But Oscar's life wasn't all like hardships and challenges. Like things were good. He came from a loving family. His parents, they ended up getting divorced when he was like seven years old. And you know, divorce can be like really tough on kids.
