The Duffel Bag

[Flack]

In the Fall of 2011 -- between ICJ's first and second visits to Oklahoma -- a new Taco Bell opened up just off the highway. I drive past it every day. ICJ and 'Vark have ridden by it with me. I never pointed it out. It's just a normal new Taco Bell with a 24/7 drive-thru and a lobby that's open until 3am.

In October of 2011, a girl -- Carina -- was hanging out there. Nobody knows for sure exactly what happened, but a few days later, someone found Carina's dismembered body stuffed in a duffel bag and dumped in a field out behind the local Homeland. For what it's worth, I'm sure ICJ, Vark and I cruised past there too. I'm not trying to implicate them or anything; I'm just saying, these are locations in the middle of town that I drive by all the time.

Crimes like these don't usually go unsolved for long around here. People here are generally nice and like to do the right thing. Well, not the ones that dismember cute 19-year-old afficianados of Chalupas and Cheesaritos, but the rest of us are. Shortly after the body (parts) were discovered several people pointed fingers at one another but nothing led to an arrest. The lead suspect at the time who was rumored to have fled the state turned out to simply not know police were looking for him. He was interviewed and released.

Eventually one guy, then another, were detained (no one has been officially charged with the murder yet) and an odd story was revealed. Apparently the murderers were in to drug trafficking and people trafficking (for prostitution). Their sole intent that night was to pick up a random girl, murder her, videotape it, and then show the videotape to other girls to scare the shit out of them. It would scare the shit out of me, and I have very little value in most non-bear prostitution rings.

Enter Mindy Cottier, aka local exotic dancer "Michelle Foxx." Cottier contacted local police this week to inform them that she had a video copy of the murder. A meeting was set up between Cottier and the police, but she stood them up. So, they went to the hotel where she stays and took care of business there instead. According to this morning's news, police recovered "a laptop computer, two zip drives, two cameras and four mobile phones." So that's what kind of monsters police are dealing with -- people that still use Zip disks.

According to Wikipedia this video does not qualify as a snuff film, as it wasn't recorded for entertainment purposes, but rather to intimidate people. And for that purpose, I'm sure it worked. I once hid another kid's beer in my closet for him because he said I would be a pussy if I didn't. Had he shown me a film of himself torturing a girl and cutting her up into little pieces, I'm sure I would have stuck the entire case of Keystone Light up my ass for him.

I really wanted to end this post with a joke about how this all goes to show just how bad fast food is for your health, but I can't. Something about this story bothers me. It's not the murder, and it's only kind of the dismemberment. I guess it's the randomness of it all. Police don't think the killers knew the victim; they just offered her a ride, and then bad things happened.

Hahahah! Wow, Flack, you're a real cut-up! Not like the rest of these hackers!

Coming from a place like L.A or New York it wouldn't be so...ewwwww, but in a nice place like OKC it's downright nightmarish.

I love the fact that ASPIE GARBAGE argued about that for weeks until those maggots had a CONSENSUS. "Not a snuff film! We decided that!!!! Moooooooom!"

There are rumors that the Armin Meiwes tape is out there but ... eh, you know, I was morbidly curious enough to watch when Ogrish posted the video of Daniel Pearl being beheaded. That was the day I learned that on the Internet it is infinitely easier to see something than it is to unsee it. I still haven't completely unseen that.

"Meiwes's post stated that he was "looking for a well-built 18- to 30-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed".[3] Bernd Jürgen Brandes then answered the advertisement. "

lulz!!! I don't think a crime was committed here.

[Flack]

As is known from a videotape the two made when they met on 9 March 2001 in Meiwes's home in the small town of Rotenburg, Meiwes amputated Brandes' penis and the two men attempted to eat the penis together before Brandes was killed. Brandes had insisted that Meiwes attempt to bite his penis off. This did not work and ultimately, Meiwes used a knife to remove Brandes' penis. Brandes apparently tried to eat some of his own penis raw, but could not because it was too tough and, as he put it, "chewy". Meiwes then fried the penis in a pan with salt, pepper, wine and garlic; he then fried it with some of Brandes' fat but by then it was too burned to be consumed. He then chopped it up into chunks and fed it to his dog.[2]

"Uh huh-huh-uhh-uhu-hhuh ... chewy."

I wish I could un-read that. ugh.

Actually I think he'd want the beer in front of him, not behind you.

I did not get the water proof one so bought the water proofing tent
spray and sprayed it twice and it never leaked. Would rather have the
water proof one tho.

Always get the waterproof one. The spray only works in light rain conditions, at best.
