Hi, Christina here before the episode
starts, I do want to let everyone
2
00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:09.000
know we had some serious technical issues. We thought MJ was recording, She
3
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:15.080
thought she was recording, but somehow
both recordings failed. Her own local recording
4
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.920
that's supposed to be the backup,
and then the thing that we used to
5
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:23.519
record remotely, neither one recorded her
side of the conversation except for like the
6
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:29.039
first three minutes, so unfortunately that
is all you'll hear from MJ. She
7
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.399
did re record her part of the
story and then send it to me.
8
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.159
It's not the same, but that
way we'll at least have that, and
9
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:42.600
then her reactions and conversation is.
It's going to be missing from the episode,
10
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.200
so hopefully it doesn't sound too weird. All right, on to the
11
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:57.039
episode. Hi everyone, This is
Christina, and this is MJ and Carmen,
12
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.719
and this is another episode of a
Spooky Tales podcast for all things spooky
13
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.640
and true crime. That's right,
we're doing both so I can make the
14
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:10.719
episodes longer. Today, I oh, you have a haunted house place right,
15
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.799
yes? And I have a true
crime case out of Brazil. Some
16
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.840
people might know it. I didn't
know it. Carmen apparently knows it,
17
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.000
so that's annoying. We'll see if
I know it. I doubt it,
18
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.200
though I told that's what I told
Carmen. I was like, I don't
19
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.760
think I'm j knows it. I'm
also I'm sorry if I sound weird.
20
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.239
My mouth is very dry, and
I feel like I sound like an old
21
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:37.400
lady talking like you sound normal to
me. Okay, well, thank you,
22
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.000
hopefully I keep sounding normal. Oh, before we start the episode,
23
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.359
before we get to the listener story, I did want to announce that I
24
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.959
finally figured out how to turn on
free trials on Patreon, so I did
25
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.599
that today. I turned on the
free trial button. So you get a
26
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.280
seven day trial if you want to
try it out, and either you know,
27
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.200
join, I guess join one of
the trial ends. I was like,
28
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.319
what am I trying to say?
Yeah, so if you either you
29
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.920
can either join when the trial ends, or you can just not whatever.
30
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.719
Sometimes I like to start a free
trial, listen to whatever I wanted to
31
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.520
listen to, and then not do
it, you know, which I'm fine
32
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.439
with. It's fine because Carmen and
I just posted it's like a short ten
33
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:21.360
minute log of when we went to
a hunted theater to go watch the first
34
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.719
omen. It was a lot of
fun. It was Yeah, although I
35
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.400
hate the mics we use, I
have to buy new ones, better ones.
36
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.240
But yeah, it was fun.
So that's up on Patreon available.
37
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:37.560
Now what else is there? When
you and I with our mom we went
38
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.319
to go to a hunted tour at
a pizza place. That video is up
39
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.840
there with a lot of footage and
pictures. Yeah, pictures and videos.
40
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.520
I guess it's an encompass into footage. Sorry, I think my meds are
41
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.960
wearing out anyway. Yeah, all
those things are up if you want to
42
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.039
do the trial. I finally ordered
keychains, so members, if you join,
43
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.080
you get an exclusive keychain that no
one else has, hence exclusive and
44
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.960
it's very cute. Okay, I'm
done with my terrible announcements. This is
45
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.599
why I need a script. Okay, okay, So listeners story that's what
46
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.879
we're doing first, and Karen has
that. Well, do you want to
47
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.599

all right, Carmen, do you

57
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.879
let's get into it. So this
is from a listener name unknown. It
58
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.560
doesn't say on here, so okay, So this person says, hi,
59
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.719
lady for starters. I just want
to say that I love the podcast.
60
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.520
I tune in every week. By
the way, I love the pointless rants
61
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:11.960
you guys go off on. Thank
you. We all appreciate that. Anyways,
62
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.360
I have a story that didn't happen
to me, but happened to my
63
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.160
aunt let's call her Sophia, and
her daughter Liz and son Joe all fick
64
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.759
names, by the way, And
this happened to them in the old house
65
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:26.720
that I grew up in. I
also had experiences in that house as well
66
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.920
as many of my other family members
that live there, but this event was
67
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.319
something else. So Basically, my
family seems to die on important dates or
68
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.879
birthdays. What Okay. For example, my grandmother died on Christmas Day,
69
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.759
my grandfather died on the day his
first great granddaughter was born. One of
70
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.959
my uncles passed on New Years,
another one of my uncles passed away on
71
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:53.439
my aunt Sophia's birthday, and another
uncle passed on her other daughter. It
72
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.480
ain't as a birthday, damn.
Oh my god. Okay, she was
73
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.279
a kidding Yeah, Mark, your
memory like Christmas is never going to be
74
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:05.480
the same or you know, like
someone's birthday. Yeah. Wow. Also,
75
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.040
rest in peace to all your family, rip to all of them.
76
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.399
So this story is about the time
when my uncle passed on my aunt Sofia's
77
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.639
birthday. A little background. My
grandparents had a total of nine kids,
78
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:21.160
and most of them ended up migrating
to Chicago from Mexico. Anyways, when
79
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:26.639
my uncle passed, he lived with
his younger sister, Luce, who had
80
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.800
found him early in the morning of
Sofia's a birthday. Oh my god,
81
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.240
I feel like I said that way
too casually. I'm sorry. I didn't
82
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:36.399
know what was coming. Of course, everyone including myself, ended up on
83
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:42.000
my aunt Loose's apartment, just to
be a family terreminius and tell stories about
84
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.519
my uncle. Now, this was
in December, so it got dark pretty
85
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.319
quickly, but none of us wanted
to leave, so we all stay together
86
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.839
until pretty late, I want to
say, until after midnight, which is
87
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.680
when everyone started going home. Now, most of my family lived close by,
88
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.680
like two apartment buildings down or like
my mother and I who lived across
89
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.519
the stree in Roger Parks, except
for my aunt, who lived in Logan
90
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:09.160
Square. These are neighborhoods in Chicago, Roger Parks. Roger's Park is closer
91
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.800
to the lake while Logan Square is
more in the middle. Good to know.
92
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.519
I needed to know that I did
because I was like, okay,
93
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.399
I don't know where these places are, so that helps. People are like,
94
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.079
is this irrelevant? I'm like no, every detail is necessary. Make
95
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:28.279
it as long as possible. Yeah, we need to contextualize this. Give
96
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.800
us all the background, all the
history, all the changes. Okay,
97
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.439
going on. Well, my aunt
Sofia, got home pretty late and was
98
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:39.160
getting ready to go to bed.
Her son Joe, had been watching TV
99
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.160
in the living room where my aunt
had her bed, and she didn't mind
100
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.279
sleeping with the TV on, but
couldn't sleep because you know, her brother
101
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.160
had just passed. Well, a
few minutes into her laying down, my
102
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.240
cousin Joe turned the TV down because
he thought he heard a noise. They
103
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:57.480
both sat there in silence for maybe
a minute before they actually heard the sound
104
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.360
that got my cousin to turn the
TV down. It was a moaning sound,
105
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:06.160
as if someone was crying downstairs.
I forgot to mention that house was
106
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:10.839
an apartment house which was owned by
another aunt of mine named Maria, who
107
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.480
was in Mexico at the time,
and she lived on the first floor and
108
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.600
my ant Sofia lived on the second
floor. Okay, so no one's on
109
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.000
the first floor, but crying was
coming from the first floor, pointing that
110
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:26.319
nobody was there. Yeah. Anyway, my an Sofia didn't believe in the
111
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:31.399
paranormal, but she's also one brave
bitch because she got up, walked out
112
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:36.600
onto the small porch and looked down
the spiral wooden stairs. Spiral stairs was
113
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.519
just creepy, right, I feel
like you step on it and it's just
114
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.480
gonna break, you know. Yeah, So she looked down the spiral wooden
115
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.959
stairs and what she saw made her
run back inside. You see, when
116
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.839
she turned on the light and looked, she said she saw a shadow figure
117
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:55.720
almost like it was sitting down at
the bottom of the stairs. Oh my
118
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.680
god, I'm scared. The minute
she looked down, she said, that
119
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.279
thing got up and began ant to
slowly walk up, which is when she
120
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:07.959
ran inside and locked the door,
praying with her hadess megago, Oh my
121
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.399
god, I have anxiety now.
Oh my god, I'm more scared.
122
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.720
Oh my god. Okay, I
read ahead. Oh my god, I
123
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:20.240
think it's worse than this. Okay. So whatever had been outside sounded like
124
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.439
it was crying, and it made
it to the door because they both saw
125
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:30.240
how the door knocked. Door.
Oh my okay, I'm so scared right
126
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.840
now, I'm sweating. Also,
it's high in here. I haven't known
127
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:39.080
the acy on yet. Okay.
So the door rattled and pounding sounds could
128
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.159
be heard as if someone was trying
to come in. Now while this is
129
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.440
happening to them, my cousin Liz
had already gone to bed, but was
130
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.919
woken up when she began hearing tapping
on her bedroom door, which was down
131
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.960
the hall from the living room where
her mother and brother were currently praying away
132
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.000
whatever was outside the front door.
Liz had and closed her bedroom door completely
133
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:05.320
in case her mother called out to
her. The tapping sounds slowly turned into
134
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.399
moaning sounds as well, and Liz
was also scary and she began praying.
135
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.759
Eventually, the sound stopped and Liz
could hear her mother coming down the hall,
136
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.440
which is when she ran out of
her room and told her what had
137
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.240
happened to her. And to her
surprise, her mother and brother had just
138
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.440
had their own experiences with this thing. So this was happening at the same
139
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.559
time. Oh my god. Wow, Like it feels like it's multiple if
140
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.679
it's happening at the same time,
right, it was safe to say that
141
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.879
they didn't sleep that night at all. Now, from what I can tell,
142
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.600
my family believes in the paranormal because
once they were told about the event,
143
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.080
they began making their own speculations about
what the shadow thing could be.
144
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.039
They even went on to say that
it might have been my grandma who was
145
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.159
crying because her son had passed.
Oh, oh my god, I just
146
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.840
got chills. That makes it less
scary and just sad, it does.
147
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.759
Yeah, I guess I would think
that she would be like not happy,
148
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.480
but like her son is joining her
now in the afterlife, you know,
149
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.200
but maybe sad because he had more
to do. I guess that's true too.
150
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.679
Yeah, yeah, that's sad.
I don't think it was my grandma,
151
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.919
but I do believe that they saw
something for sure, because the reason
152
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.000
I don't think is the grandmas Like
why would she be trying to force her
153
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.600
way inside and like scaring them.
That's why I don't think it was the
154
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.799
grandma. Yeah, that's true.
And then they said the household was already
155
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.919
haunted, which is the next sentence, Like I said, before, this
156
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.440
household haunted and everyone had lived there
had their own experience. And then she
157
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.480
says, sorry for the bad grammar
and punctuations. I don't usually write,
158
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:41.559
and not also I'm very high while
writing this. Oh my god. And
159
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.120
lastly she says, let me know
if you guys want to know more,
160
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:48.320
and you know we do always always. God, that was terrifying. That
161
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.559
was so scary. Oh I could
picture it all and I was like,
162
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.399
oh my god. Yeah, oh
m okay, well MJ, do you
163
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.279
want to tell us your story now? I better not be as scary as
164
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:09.200
this one. I can't handle it. This story is from twenty seventeen and
165
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.840
takes place in southern Chile in Porto
Monte. A family had called the police
166
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:20.720
because of a haunted house problem that
Gattabiintos the chile or the Chilean police reported
167
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.879
that there were broken windows, flying
furniture, a mattress on fire all when
168
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.519
the house was empty, that Gottabinetro's
rent out of the home. The captain
169
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.720
leader made a statement on the incident
and called it a diabolic presence. Locals
170
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.879
called upon a priest to bless the
house to get rid of the dark presence
171
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.559
that inhabited the home. One of
the children that lived inside the home went
172
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.919
in with the priest and started recording. In the recording, right as the
173
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.480
priest moved out of the way,
furniture fell down where he was standing.
174
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:52.840
Thankfully, the priest had dodged the
objects. The priest is seen absolutely terrified.
175
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.600
Unfortunately, the video links in the
article are broken, so I looked
176
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.120
for the video again and thankfully there
are reposts and I linked them in the
177
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:07.200
notes. Once the Karabinetos were outside, they declared that the home was haunted.
178
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.039
They had also testified about the furniture
falling knives, flying, furniture that
179
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.679
would randomly combust on its own,
windows would break on their own as well.
180
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.399
Maria Urra, one of the owners, said that the furniture would randomly
181
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:26.679
catch on fire at night for weeks. Both her and her husband were terrified
182
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.519
of the home burning down when they
were sleeping. This quote is from Auditi
183
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:37.080
Central dot com and it says Second
Corporal Boris Olivara Gonzalez of the sixth police
184
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.480
station in Porto mont told reporters that
he and his colleagues were questioning the owners
185
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.399
inside the house when a trowel fell
from the attic, like somebody had thrown
186
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.440
it down. After checking the attic
and confirming that it was empty, Gonzalez
187
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.679
claims that he called out the quote
unquote demon asking for it to leave.
188
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.480
After receiving no response, he decided
to go back, but on his way
189
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:07.440
to the front door, he was
struck from behind by a knife. It
190
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.840
was super strange, Gonzales told reporters. Thankfully, I was wearing my bulletproof
191
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.720
vest, so I suffered no serious
injuries. This was the kind of thing
192
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.759
you only see in horror movies,
unexplainable in real life. At first,
193
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:24.679
we couldn't believe it either. There
were also reports of mood changes, electromagnetic
194
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:30.799
disturbances, as well as physical symptoms
such as limbs going numb. Priests tried
195
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.120
to bless the home and remove whatever
was there, but failed to do so.
196
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.879
The family relocated for the time being
that day. However, no update
197
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.799
on if they ever moved back or
solved the issue with their haunted home.
198
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.799
They left forever. Wow, that's
so creepy. And the fact that police
199
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.399
are like, yeah, we saw
it. It reminds me of that other
200
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.480
case, the Vajekas case in Spain
where police recalled because of the activity and
201
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.759
they go in and they're like yeah, like, yes, it is haunted,
202
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.120
Yes, domonic. We're not going
back. No, no, no,
203
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.799
I'm like, I didn't sign up
for this. I'm sorry. Exorcist
204
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:16.039
is not my job. Oh that's
creepy. Okay, Well, I guess

So thank you for doing that.
Okay, now we're back. Well,
227
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:07.559
my case is from Brazil, so
first let me just give you my tiny
228
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.759
little summary before we get into the
actual case. So, Flora de Lis
229
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.559
dos Santos de Susa was known as
the Mother of Brazil, known as a
230
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:22.080
Pentecostal pastor, gospel singer, congresswoman. But then in November twenty twenty two,
231
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:27.480
she was convicted of her husband's murder
and she was sentenced found guilty.
232
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:33.440
But let's go back to the beginning, Like, how did this religious supermom
233
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:38.200
go from saintly to murderer? Ah, you thought you're gonna say, from
234
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.919
saintly to deadly. You know what, from saintly to sinner. It would
235
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:47.480
have been better. Oh yeah,
the alliteration would have been fantastic. Let
236
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.600
me redo this the patreon. The
patreon members will get this redo, but
237
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:56.399
not the the not the rest of
the people. Okay, So, but
238
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.840
let's go back to the beginning.
How does a religious supermom go from to
239
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:07.319
center. So dumb. No,
that was a great idea, I think
240
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.759
now it was. Okay, so
let's yeah, let's start with her early
241
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.759
life. Florida Lis dos Santos a
Susa and I'm just gonna call her Florida
242
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.599
the lest from after this. I
just sometimes I like saying long names,
243
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.759
Okay. She was born February fifth, nineteen sixty one. Her parents were
244
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:30.319
Francisco dos Santos and Carmosina Mota dos
Santos. She grew up in a pretty
245
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.680
dangerous area of Brazil. It was
a favela. And what if you want
246
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:41.279
to explain what favelas are from what
I know, it's like impoverished areas,
247
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.880
almost like what projects would be here, but like worse. Yeah, good
248
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:51.480
enough, okay. The hood tends
to be where it's sectioned off. What's
249
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:53.960
it called. There's a very specific
word for it here, like red light
250
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:59.039
into this area. Then this area
doesn't get funds that other areas do,
251
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:03.519
and so then the violence grows.
It's poorer and poorer. They're very very
252
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.319
dangerous areas. And so she grew
up in a favela in Riodica, Nero,
253
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:15.400
and this is a predominantly Afro Brazilian
neighborhood. Her father was a pastor
254
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.920
in the Pentecostal church. They were, and her family was pretty involved in
255
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.680
the church too. It was the
Assembly of God was the name of the
256
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.960
church, and it's apparently one of
the biggest Pentecostal churches worldwide. And so
257
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:30.759
yeah, at the same time that
the church is growing, there's also just
258
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:36.039
like crimes and drug uses rising.
This is like the nineteen sixties when she's
259
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:40.039
a child. Well, yeah,
she's born in sixty one, so and
260
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:45.039
they were involved in the church.
Her dad was like a very well known
261
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.680
singer in the church. I think
at one point he also becomes a pastor.
262
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:52.240
Her mom runs a daycare from the
house where they watched like a hundred
263
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.920
kids in that neighborhood. But that
also, I think shows just how densely
264
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.119
populated these favelas are, where like, what do you mean one hundred kids,
265
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.440
It's like they're available there to be
watched. Like that's how crowdy these
266
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.599
areas are. And tragically, at
the age of fourteen, her father and
267
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.440
brother die in a car accident,
and this throws her and her mother even
268
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.599
like deeper into the church. They
find refuge in it. Pretty soon they
269
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:22.039
open their own ministry. It's at
a storefront that they rented out, and
270
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:27.119
they quickly grow this loyal following.
And it's mostly because of Flora de Lis.
271
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:33.359
She was this very inspirational preacher and
she would preach around the entire neighborhood.
272
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.880
She was known for her singing voice. It was so good. That's
273
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.720
mostly why they had this loyal following. And she preached everywhere, including very
274
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.920
dangerous favelas, very late at night. She took pride in converting gang members
275
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:52.480
to churchgoers, and this is how
her life goes for a while, even
276
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.319
into adulthood, she loves to talk
about how she came from this very dangerous
277
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:02.119
favela and she overcame it thanks to
God. Can find clips of her talking
278
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.319
about this on her Instagram and it's
still up, yes, her Instagram.
279
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.880
And I don't understand that much Portuguese, but I'm like, oh, I
280
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.559
heard favela and I heard dangerous,
so yeah, you can hear those words,
281
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.880
and so now you know. Later
in her adulthood, now we're like
282
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.920
in the early nineteen nineties. She's
the mother of three children, she's a
283
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.079
teachers. Well, her and her
mom still have her ministry. It's still
284
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:27.000
going strong, stronger than ever.
Also, no one knows what happened to
285
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:30.920
the three the father of the three
children. They just said he went up
286
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.400
north. I don't know what that
means. Usually means the US, doesn't
287
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:41.119
it well, then in Brazil,
so everything's north, that's true. Yeah,
288
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.160
but yeah, he just left and
never came back. And that was
289
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.039
her first husband. But you know, this whole time that her ministry is
290
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.000
still going, the neighborhood is getting
worse. There's more drugs, more gangs,
291
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:57.680
more murder. Florida de Lise and
her congregation start preaching in the neighborhood
292
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.680
on Friday now, even as late
as midnight, just spreading the word of
293
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.279
the Lord. There's a story that
she likes to tell from this time where
294
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.200
she went up to this dangerous favela
a leader who wasn't going to let her
295
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:17.480
into the neighborhood to preach, and
she yelled at him that if if her
296
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:23.400
God wanted to, he would turn
this favela leader into a leper. And
297
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:27.319
the leader was like, already fine, like you can come preach. I
298
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.920
thought, I thought you were going
to say that God would smite him.
299
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:37.279
But I mean basically, yeah,
and for people that don't know, like
300
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:40.599
the way that these gang leaders are, like they're very organized. There was
301
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:45.160
like a president of like the favela
that's the gang leader. I don't know
302
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:48.480
if you guys remember that Michael Jackson
video where he's in Brazil. Yeah,
303
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.759
yeah, okay, he had to
get permission from the favela leader. The
304
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:53.480
government was even going to help him
to film this video, but he went
305
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.359
and talked to the favela leader and
he's like, oh, I love Michael
306
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:02.200
Jackson, and they filmed the whole
video there. Yeah. But yeah,
307
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:07.119
that just goes to show how the
favelas and the organizational like how it's all
308
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.559
organized. So yeah, this favela
leader led her into the neighborhood and yeah,
309
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.319
I mean she was revered by the
youth and she left like this lasting
310
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.359
impression, especially when she did this
like standing up to favella leaders. Mm
311
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:25.279
hmm. I mean that's impressive.
So she was seen as this hero and
312
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:29.799
soon she started adopting favela these favella
kids, and they were more like teens,
313
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.480
not kids. And these were not
formal adoptions at all. It was
314
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.039
like just they started hanging out of
her house and then they never left and
315
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:38.880
then she's like, yeah, you
guys are like my children now. But
316
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.079
her house wasn't really like the safe
haven that was said to be. It
317
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:48.599
was just like a no rules like
place anything goes kind of yeah, so
318
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.279
of course, like they're gonna want
to move with her, right, And
319
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.000
I don't know if you'll go into
it later, but she kind of made
320
00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.039
it out to seem that these were
like street children with no parents, but
321
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.799
they did have parents, and it's
like you said, they just wanted to
322
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.200
live with her because there was no
rules there. Yes, And so in
323
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:11.759
the beginning, it's her first,
her own kids, her three biological children,
324
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:15.319
and a group of five adopter teens. That's like the beginning group,
325
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:19.960
right, but then it just like
it grows. So among these five adopter
326
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:29.519
teens is the man that would become
her husband, so inappropriate, yeah,
327
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:33.000
right, and their son do Camo. He was fifteen when he started coming
328
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.759
around. How old was she at
this point? She was in her thirties,
329
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.279
so she swears that they didn't They
weren't romantically involved until he was eighteen.
330
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.400
So at whatever time he turned like
let's say he was born at one
331
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:51.119
pm to fifty nine. Nothing,
no feelings, nothing now twelve pm.
332
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:56.519
Love, Yes, dumb. I
hate when people say that. Yeah,
333
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.759
because it's not true, of course
not. So there's no exact date.
334
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.279
Oh sorry, I was almost gonna
skip over this. He actually dated her
335
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:14.759
daughter first, simone. Oh yeah, oh yeah, disgusting. So there's
336
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.759
no exact day for when Florida Lisa
and their son began dating or even just
337
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.960
got married. We know just because
from what they report later on, this
338
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:27.920
marriage was either in nineteen ninety four
or nineteen ninety eight. But yeah,
339
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:34.400
there's no exact date, just he
was over eighteen for sure. So around
340
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:40.960
this time, somehow, for some
reason, Florida Lease runs into this lady
341
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.720
who says she can't take care of
her newborn anymore. Like she just abandoned
342
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.559
this newborn. It's behind a dumpster
right now, she just abandoned it.
343
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.079
And like Florida the les could take
this baby in, she could save it,
344
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.039
and she agrees. But then the
lady like goes on and she says,
345
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:02.119
how there's like fourteen babies that are
survivors of a massacre and they're in
346
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:07.799
the streets and if she could take
them and saintly Flora de Lise agrees.
347
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:12.519
So, now there's the eight kids
that were already you know, in her
348
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:18.480
home, and then fourteen, well
fifteen, the baby that was in behind
349
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.519
the dumpster, and then these fourteen
from the massacre. Nobody even questions where
350
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.119
these babies are from or anything like, and yeah, I mean they really
351
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.000
could have been from a massacre because
these things did happen in Brazil all that
352
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.960
time. But yeah, now there's
God, what is that? I'm but
353
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:38.880
at math So fifteen, fifteen plus
eight, twenty, yes, thank you,
354
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:42.279
thank you. I'm Jay. So, yeah, we're in the In
355
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:47.480
ninety four, there's twenty three kids
in her home. They're all in her
356
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:52.160
two bedroom apartment. That's where they
live. And she gets so much attention
357
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.279
for taking these street kids in.
She's revered like, oh, this saintly
358
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:02.359
woman, she's she's so I don't
no kind and caring, and it gets
359
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:04.359
the attention of the media, and
you know, she starts talking to them,
360
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:07.640
and there's a journalist that actually goes
to the home and tours it,
361
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.920
and then they were like, what
the fuck cuz the house smelled like rotten
362
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:18.680
fruit. She was giving them rotten
food from food stands that they were going
363
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.880
to throw away that's what she was
feeding them. Oh yeah, And there
364
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.599
was just the kids everywhere. They
had nowhere to stay. I mean there's
365
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:33.000
no order, there's no structure,
there's no privacy, no space. Those
366
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.119
babies that she got all in one
crib to sleep, Oh my god,
367
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.119
how did they survive that? How
do they even fit? And so he's
368
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:45.880
rightfully concerned. He goes to the
police and he's like, this is child
369
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.839
abuse and datament at the very least, I think they're the same thing.
370
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:55.920
Right now, they're different kinds of
abuse. Yes, thank you, Resident
371
00:26:55.960 --> 00:27:00.240
expert Kerman. Now she's getting like
the wrong kind of attention for this,
372
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.680
right, and police and authorities become
aware of this, and so there's a
373
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:08.279
judge that accuses her of harboring underage
kids in her apartment. I mean that
374
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:17.119
it's not wrong. He's kind of
right, Okay. So yeah, Florida
375
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:21.440
Lis. Instead of doing like the
reasonable thing and like turning herself in or
376
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:25.279
explaining the situation like oh no I
took them in or whatever, No,
377
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:29.759
she doesn't do that. She grabs
all the children and they move to another
378
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:33.680
favela like twenty five minutes away.
Surely she had to rent a bus or
379
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.839
something. I don't know. But
when she moved them twenty five minutes away,
380
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:40.480
they didn't have anywhere to go,
and they were like all under this
381
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:42.920
bus stop. And then ganging leaders
went not to them and they're like,
382
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.279
what are you doing here? Why
are you in our hood? Right?
383
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:51.599
She explains it herself away, and
they're inspired by her story. They call
384
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.279
up the favela president and he gives
her an apartment to stay at. It's
385
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:00.599
nice of them, I guess,
right, But this whole time she's accused
386
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:07.599
of stealing these kids. I mean, I believe it. Yeah, Like,
387
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:11.240
and you didn't steal them, like
you you you know their orphans?
388
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.680
Yes, yeah, you would think
so. Yeah. This whole time,
389
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.759
there's like a warrant out for her
rest basically, And so finally, once
390
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:23.200
she set up in this new apartment, she's tired of hiding. She's gonna
391
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:26.839
go and explain herself. So she
goes to the Court of Justice. And
392
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.319
this is like a few months after
being on the run. And when she
393
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.680
goes to the Court of Justice,
somehow word got to the press. They
394
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.720
all show up there too. It's
this big like media circus and So she
395
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:42.200
meets with the judge and someone from
the un I don't know how why.
396
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:48.559
I feel like she concocted all this
on purpose to make herself seem like like
397
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:53.720
credible, like she's saving the children
to garner like positivity for herself, so
398
00:28:53.759 --> 00:29:02.200
that in case something went wrong then
like it would cause outrage. Oh yeah,
399
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:04.319
I don't doubt that for a second. So she meets with them,
400
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:10.880
she makes her case, and the
judge who was out to arrest her,
401
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:14.880
the one who was like, you're
harboring underage children, he was convinced.
402
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:19.920
He sets up an organization to help
her illegally adopt the children. No one
403
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:26.559
person can adopt that much children,
Like stop possible. It's not safe.
404
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:30.359
It's not normal either. And if
that was like an actual I don't know,
405
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:37.720
like let's say in orphinished or something
like that, the ratio of staff
406
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:44.480
to children would be outrageous, Like
come on, yeah it is. And
407
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:48.079
then two men that were watching this
all on the news unfold were so inspired.
408
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.559
I thought you were gonna say,
those are my children? You would,
409
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:59.680
right. No, they give her
house in the suburb in a suburb
410
00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:03.559
in and they put a they put
furniture in it, they stalk it.
411
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.960
They even put groceries in it.
That's what she wants, attention, money,
412
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:14.519
free stuff. She's a grifter.
Yeah, and at this point,
413
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:18.559
there's thirty seven kids in the home, not both of us gassing. What
414
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:25.200
the fuck? Like stop? Twenty
three was more than enough. Now it's
415
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:33.759
almost forty. Oh my god,
she stole them. Yeah. So yeah,
416
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:37.880
at this point, and their son, who like is obviously now on
417
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:42.160
adults younger than her obviously and her
they set up a church in the garage
418
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:48.519
of that house, and it's successful. She gets a bunch of people to
419
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.119
join her church. She's an amazing
pastor, and so is he. He
420
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:56.559
starts preaching too. They're both just
as grifting away. Yeah, and actually,
421
00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:00.240
I'm gonna send you guys a picture
of them so you can see that
422
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.480
they look like a power couple.
You see them and you're like, oh
423
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.960
wow. She also looks amazing for
her age, because the picture that I'm
424
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:14.160
sending you guys, she is like
in late fifties. But you know what,
425
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:18.440
it's the bangs that covering her wrinkles. Maybe she might not be true.
426
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.480
That's why I wish I had straight
hair and I could just do that.
427
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.519
You know. Yeah, seriously,
he actually does not look that much
428
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.880
younger than No, I mean she
does look good. No, she Wow,
429
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.359
she looks good. No, wonder
she's able to grift as much as
430
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:40.119
she was. Yeah, i mean
she's beautiful. It's that a pretty privilege.
431
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:44.480
But yeah, they set up this
chairch they're successful. She is again,
432
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.440
I'm an amazing singer. So this
time she releases a gospel album,
433
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.240
but this one doesn't do well.
Then in two thousand and two, Flora
434
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.240
Lis was invited to a very famous
Brazilian talk show. It's like the Oprah
435
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:00.720
Show basically, like it's this huge
talk show. Like most of her adopted
436
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.559
kids now they're in their twenties,
they're adults, and so they're all sitting
437
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.759
with her in this show. She's
being interviewed. The host of the show
438
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:12.559
calls her the mother of Brazil because
they're sharing her story about how she's adopted
439
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:15.839
all these kids and they quote unquote
save them. Right on top of that,
440
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:22.200
the director of the network that this
talk shows on is watching and he's
441
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:27.160
so inspired he makes a movie on
this. So he gives Florida Lese her
442
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.759
own movie. She stars in it. But then there's actors for her all
443
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.279
her children. Oh wow, but
she is the star of this movie.
444
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.160
And yeah, like the movie releases
in two thousand and nine, there's the
445
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:43.039
huge premiere Florida the Leise Walks the
Red Carpet. But the movie's a flop
446
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:47.359
for the director at least, But
for Florida Lese, it brought her success
447
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:53.839
because her church is flooded with new
followers. Damn, just what she wants.
448
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:58.880
And as you guys know, like
the follow more followers for your church
449
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:04.359
means more tidings, more money.
So yeah, her church grew in insane
450
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.759
a mount She's like a celebrity pastor. Now she gets a record deal.
451
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:14.759
She releases five gospel albums that are
all successful. She's on top of the
452
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:17.759
world and they're still and her husband's
son, son, husband, whatever you
453
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:22.119
want to call him, he's now
her manager too. So yeah, on
454
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:25.200
top of running the church, he's
also her manager. He's the man of
455
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:29.920
the house. He controls everything.
The kids need his permission just to set
456
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:32.559
foot outside of the home. The
money, he controls it. What she
457
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:38.400
wears, he picks right all this, But I mean whatever, their partnership
458
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:45.440
is working for them. They have
seven churches now, she's making bank in
459
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:49.759
this time. She's making like thirty
K a month, which is like more
460
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:53.759
than twenty times the average salary monthly
salary Indrio the Canidro. And you know,
461
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:59.640
you think like she'd finally be happy
with it, but no, it's
462
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:05.119
never Yeah, it's never enough.
She starts having visions from God and we,
463
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:09.400
oh, my God, not more
visions, please please stop with the
464
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:15.360
visions. And in these visions,
she sees that she's a politician, She's
465
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:20.119
meant to be a politician. And
she goes from a one grift to the
466
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:24.039
next grift to the next grift.
Just a natural grifter. That's like what
467
00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:36.239
we were missing from this trifecta pastor
supermom politician. So she does run for
468
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:39.039
a local office twice and loses.
I think at some point she holds one
469
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:46.440
minor office before twenty eighteen. In
twenty eighteen, a congressman named Alde de
470
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:51.920
oli Veda. He's ready to move
on from Congress. And this is their
471
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:53.440
version of Congress. It has a
different name. I'm just using Congress so
472
00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:59.480
that we all understand. So he
is ready to not be a congressman.
473
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:05.320
He's gonna run for Senate now,
and so he gets Flora Lis to start
474
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.920
campaigning because he wants her to take
his current seat. They belong to the
475
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:15.239
same party. He's also part owner
of her gospel label. Seems a little
476
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:19.679
unethical to me, but whatever.
So yeah, her and Anderson they get
477
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:23.079
to work and they campaign, and
they campaign hard, and it works.
478
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:30.000
At fifty seven, she wins with
the landslide. Oh my god, and
479
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:34.400
this new power and fame, it's
it's still not enough for her. She
480
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:39.320
starts feeling like Anderson is pointless now, like she's in the Senate. He's
481
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:44.800
controlling me for what. I don't
need him anymore, right, They start
482
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:50.000
having marriage problems to try him and
this is her version of all this.
483
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:55.079
So to try and save their marriage, they go on this beach trip and
484
00:35:55.159 --> 00:36:00.440
they're seen by the paparazzi. They're
having a great time, so great that
485
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:02.800
they have sex on top of their
car and public. I guess, I
486
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:07.480
don't know my gone, I mean, like, how was she seen doing?
487
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.679
Yeah, I guess she called the
paps herself. Yeah something, Oh
488
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.159
my god. And I don't know
if she later told police this or if
489
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:20.519
other people heard this, but that
he covers her no no, no,
490
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:22.679
and their song is heard yelling I
love you while they're doing it on top
491
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:30.599
of her car, and that just
sounds so uncomfortable. Yeah. Man,
492
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:34.280
Yeah, they're so happy during this
trip, like the marriage fixed. You
493
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.199
know, all they needed was to
have sex on top of their car.
494
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:39.760
Wow. Yeah, so I don't
know if you're having manageables, maybe try
495
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:46.280
that. Try it. Florida list
approved. So yeah, they're happy,
496
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:51.639
they're in love again. They head
back to Rio the Carnado from the beach
497
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:55.960
trip. They get back to their
house around three three am. Florida Lis
498
00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:59.440
goes inside first. She's like,
oh, I'm gonna check out all the
499
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:01.599
children, So she rushes inside.
He stays in the car, just like
500
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:07.480
gathering some things. And then when
she's inside the house, she hears you
501
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:12.599
know, like multiple gang bane Oh
my god. So she runs outside.
502
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:15.440
The kids try to and I say
kids, but again a lot of them
503
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:17.960
are adults. Now actually by this
point most of them are adults. So
504
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:21.360
they're holding her back, like,
no, you don't need to see how
505
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.920
horrible this is. But yeah,
Anderson was shot multiple times. I think
506
00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:30.960
thirty times. Oh my god,
it's terrible. It's terrible. That is
507
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:35.559
yeah, overkill much? Yeah,
right, it almost isn't kind of like
508
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:40.320
personal? Yeah, I would think
like they were like really making sure he
509
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:45.400
was dead. Yeah, this wasn't
random, right, So he's rushed to
510
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:50.800
the hospital, but he dies,
he passes away there. He's forty two
511
00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:54.679
at this point. So the next
morning it's all over the news because again
512
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:59.880
they were this power duo, like
this was gonna be wide white news,
513
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:02.280
and it was. You know,
people are like, who could have done
514
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:07.320
this? And that's not the only
question because then police are like, wait,
515
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:12.400
this is kind of weird. We
have more questions. Actually, please
516
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:15.119
start asking more questions other than who
could have done this? Because things started
517
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:21.559
getting suspicious. All the gunshots,
the majority of them were in his manhood
518
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:25.119
area, so personal again, like
you know, someone who knows him did
519
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:32.760
it. The amount of gunshots or
bullet wounds, and the area that it's
520
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:39.320
in, Like yeah from criminal minds, I know, not criminal minds told
521
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:45.599
me that this was a crime of
passion and rage. Yes, yeah.
522
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:50.320
Yeah. On top of that,
they live on a dead end street and
523
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:54.840
no one was seen entering the street
after them, So what does that tell
524
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:59.559
us the killer was already there?
The call is coming from inside the home,
525
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:05.119
yes, So nothing is adding up. Detectives start interviewing all the kids
526
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:07.320
and I keep calling them kids because
they are her as at the kids,
527
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.639
but again they're adults, the adult
children. Yeah, so they started writing
528
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:15.639
gathering all the adult children. None
of their stories add up. They're searching
529
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:21.039
the home through the least is in
the corner, sobbing the whole time.
530
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:24.639
They were like, she's putting on
a show. Yes, exactly, and
531
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:30.159
that I learned from mind Hunter right
now, Yeah, all these show is
532
00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:36.440
teaching us stuff. They're searching the
home. They see that none of the
533
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:40.920
cameras that are recording point to the
house, and this is supposed to be
534
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:44.480
like surveillance, and it's all pointed
away from the home. Like, that's
535
00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:49.800
suspicious too, So the detective start
running background checks on all the adult children
536
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:55.480
and they get hits, including one
of the youngest adult children. So eighteen
537
00:39:55.559 --> 00:40:00.000
year old Lucas. He there's a
hit from the background show because he has
538
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:04.320
a worn out for selling drugs.
But on top of that, when they
539
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:08.480
were reviewing footage of the night,
he is seen on that night arriving in
540
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:15.079
an uber, getting out and going
inside the house and then coming back out.
541
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:19.960
This is within fifteen minutes of the
shooting. Of the shooting, so
542
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:22.079
yeah, they're like, okay,
we need to bring Lucas in. They
543
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:25.280
bring him in. He starts saying
that, oh, the reason he was
544
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:30.519
there is because he sells drugs.
He went there to just stash his drugs
545
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:34.159
and then he left again to go
to the club. But then investigators like
546
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:39.599
they push him until he folds.
So then police show up to the funeral,
547
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:44.280
and the funeral is this huge spectacle. There's thousands and thousands of people
548
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:49.559
there, and at the funeral they
arrest Flavio. And Flavio is Flora Lisa's
549
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:53.320
biological son. He's thirty eight and
their son is only like four years older
550
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:57.920
than him. Oh my god.
And their son was only four years older
551
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:00.880
than Flavio because he was forty two
when he got killed. But police,
552
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:06.840
yeah, they arrested Flavio at the
funeral, and this is because Lucas when
553
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:09.239
he folded, he incriminated Flabyo.
He was like, it was Flabyo.
554
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:14.039
Flabeo is the one who killed Anderson, not me. And then Flabo immediately
555
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:15.760
folds. He's like, well I
never liked that bitch. Anderson like,
556
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:22.360
damn those I'm paraphrasing. Yeah,
he says he never liked him. He
557
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:25.480
never liked that he was a few
years older than him. He was mad
558
00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:29.639
about that. So then police go, they search the house again and they
559
00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:34.280
find the gun above Flavio's bed,
and the gun was matched to him.
560
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:37.920
They knows his because they found something
on it. And Carmen, you might
561
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:42.119
already know what they found on the
gun. Mjny guesses on what was found
562
00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:45.639
on the gun, like how they
matched it to Flavio. I don't,
563
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:51.079
I don't remember, you don't remember, Okay, Well they found his pubes
564
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:57.000
on the gun. Is that what
you were gonna get? Some je Well,
565
00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:05.719
it was it was, oh my
god. Yeah, and you know,
566
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:07.599
I imagine that they got there because
you know how some people push.
567
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:10.639
I mean, and I think the
normal thing is to put the gun between
568
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:15.920
your pants and your boxers, but
always it he put it inside, but
569
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:21.239
maybe keep Oh my god, but
maybe you put it inside his boxer,
570
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:28.480
like why, oh my god.
Yeah, it's the way a way to
571
00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:35.440
lose the member. I was dying
when I heard that. That's I can't
572
00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:38.800
forgot that. Yeah. So I
mean, now there's there's no doubt.
573
00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:42.880
There's no doubt the gun is his, but that's not it. There's more
574
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:46.400
to the story. Wagner, one
of the oldest adopted kids, goes to
575
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:51.800
the police. So he moved into
Florida Lisa's house when he was twelve,
576
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:54.840
and he I mean like rose up
in the rings as one of her favorites.
577
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:58.920
He was a pastor in the church. He was also in politics too,
578
00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:02.559
he was he held like a position
in local government. So he told
579
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:07.679
police that, uh, Anderson was
actually in the hospital a lot leading up
580
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:13.079
to the murder. He was sick
all the time. He has stomach issues.
581
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:19.480
Uh carmn. Yes, they're poisoning
him too. Yes, yeah,
582
00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:22.840
he was sick all the time.
And then he overheard Simonette, Florida LIS's
583
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:29.239
daughter, the one that Anderson dated
first. So he heard Simonette telling Florida
584
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:31.119
Lise like, well, hey,
you're a you're in the congress now,
585
00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:37.039
like we don't need Anderson anymore,
right, Oh my god. He also
586
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:43.239
overheard Florida li saying that that Anderson
he wouldn't make it through the year.
587
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:47.840
And on top of that, one
of his adopted brothers told Wagner not to
588
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:52.239
eat anything at the house because Florida
les was poisoning Anderson. Oh my god.
589
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:55.599
They didn't even like try to hide
it or anything. No, no,
590
00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.280
So Wagner he did confront Florida Lis
about hearing this, but then she
591
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:04.320
was like, no, no,
I'm just mixing his meds into his juice
592
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:08.960
because he won't take them. And
he believed her. But when he Wagner
593
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:14.599
saw Flora de Lis at the funeral
just pouring her eyes out crying, he
594
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:17.719
was like, wait a minute,
this is a performance. She doesn't she's
595
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:22.639
not actually sad, she's acting.
And that's what made him even more suspicious
596
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:25.599
and why he went to the police. And so then he kind of revealed
597
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:30.719
more about the home situation, and
then we learned how truly horrible it was.
598
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:35.199
So he told officers that the house
one it was overcrowded, like obviously
599
00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:39.039
with that many kids, but there
was kids sleeping on the floor, under
600
00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:44.920
the table, under beds just because
there was no room. Like I said
601
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:50.559
earlier, all the babies were in
one cot scabies was running rampant through the
602
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:53.239
house. My god, it's horrible
and they're so hard to get rid of.
603
00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:58.719
It's disgusting. I'm gonna start scratching
myself. It's disgusting. Every time
604
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:01.199
there's a patient was like scabies bites. It's very rare that they're on the
605
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:07.119
person. They're usually in the home. They don't like spread that easily unless
606
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:10.039
you stay in that house. So
people come in with like bites and then
607
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:14.920
I get all traumatized and I start
scratching myself. Then I have to look
608
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:17.480
up, like the cleaning situation of
the room after the person leaves, and
609
00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:21.599
I look it up and then I
see a giant image and I'm like ugh,
610
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:25.320
just because I have to see yeah
there. I will not be putting
611
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:30.119
a picture up because I hate looking
at anybody. No scabies images. Okay,
612
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:34.440
so yeah, scaby's bad. Kids
were eating you know, bread for
613
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:38.360
basically only carbs, bread, pasta, whatever was cheap when they weren't eating
614
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:44.519
rotten fruit right, oh my god, or leftovers and even in the house.
615
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:47.280
So younger kids had older kids assigned
to them to take care of them
616
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:52.360
because there was so many how fundy
yeah right, very fundy coated. And
617
00:45:52.400 --> 00:46:00.719
they're religious even more fundy. Yeah, they're Evangelicals. So within the family
618
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:04.280
and like all the children, there
was like they were split into groups.
619
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:07.719
So there was some that were loyal
to and their sown and then others that
620
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:10.719
were loyal to Flora Lise, and
they knew who was in which group.
621
00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:17.440
Simonet, she spied on all the
kids and reported to Flora Lise about what
622
00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:23.239
they did wrong because they were being
like controlled, controlling, abusive environment,
623
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:28.880
a high control group. Hmmm,
like a cult, Oh my god,
624
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:31.559
yeah, like a Yeah, she
was brand like a cult. She even
625
00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:37.400
told them like at one point she
was an angel who was being incarnated.
626
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:40.800
She made herself like the leader of
this cult right where they had to follow
627
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:45.960
her, worship her. The dynamics
were just like wrong in the group,
628
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:50.519
you know, splitting siblings like that, pinning one against the other. This
629
00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:55.400
is like bad, bad things to
do when raising children, but also just
630
00:46:55.480 --> 00:47:02.679
having fitty something children it's also bad. Yes. So once police were told
631
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:06.440
all this history, they were like, all right, we need to question
632
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.800
like each one. So all the
siblings were interrogated separately, and the story
633
00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:15.679
had even more holes and they learn
more at this point when they are searching
634
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:21.360
the phone of these adult children,
some of their searches say assassin, where
635
00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:25.880
to find assassin? How to poison
someone without being caught? So the kids
636
00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:30.239
adopted you know, adult kids.
They tried a poison and their son he
637
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:35.039
doesn't die. Flora List tells them, well, you're gonna need to use
638
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:40.599
a gun because you've tried everything else. Simonette, she is on record on
639
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:45.559
the record saying that and their soe
was bad at dying. Oh my god.
640
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:47.599
She also tries to get an ex
boyfriend of hers who was a police
641
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:52.559
officer, to kill him, and
he refused and they broke up. This
642
00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:57.800
is outrageous. Yeah. Then finally, when like other plans are failing,
643
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:01.880
they get the youngest adopted kids,
Lucas, the eighteen year old, to
644
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:06.360
do the job. That's so sad. He's the most like the youngest,
645
00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:12.480
the most probably the easiest to manipulate, like vulnerable. Yeah, so he
646
00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:15.400
wasn't actually living with them at the
time because he got tired of Anderson's lecture
647
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:21.239
because he used drugs and Anderson didn't
prove, so he wasn't even living there.
648
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:27.400
They offered him one hundred and fifty
dollars and Anderson's collection of wristwatches to
649
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:30.320
kill him. Wow, And at
first he said no, but then he
650
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:34.400
agrees. So he is the one
who ends up getting the gun. And
651
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:37.039
what he was really dropping off was
apparently the gun on that day. Wasn't
652
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:43.639
stashing his drugs and leaving, he
was giving them the gun. And Flavio
653
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:45.639
he's the one who ends up using
the gun in the end. Lucas is
654
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:49.519
not the one who, oh okay, actually pulls the trigger. He just
655
00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:52.559
got the gun for them. Yeah, Flavio is the one who kills him.
656
00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:55.760
So Flabeo is the one who shot
him thirty times, and yeah,
657
00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:58.960
I mean it checks out. He
didn't like him. He shot him in
658
00:48:59.039 --> 00:49:00.440
the genitals, like, oh,
that's for all the times you did my
659
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:04.960
mom, like you know, oh, my god. Probably, and then
660
00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:07.440
after the shooting, all the siblings
work together to make it seem like a
661
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:12.800
random robbery. So they were all
in on it. And so you know,
662
00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:15.800
investigators, they need more evidence because
Florida Lise is a congress woman,
663
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:22.559
and it's very hard to arrest them. And it makes sense, like if
664
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:24.880
you know the history of Brazil,
you know there was a lot of dictatorships.
665
00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:32.280
Dictatorships come with repressive things like arresting
your political opponents. Yeah, no
666
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:38.039
evidence, right, just you know, arresting people left and right. And
667
00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:44.159
so now they it's difficult to arrest
someone that's in Congress. So they need
668
00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:46.559
like a solid, solid, solid
case, So they need more evidence.
669
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:51.800
They're trying to locate Florida Lise and
Anderson's phone to find evidence, and they
670
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:57.280
can't. But eventually they guess the
password of Anderson's cloud logging info like they
671
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.719
guess it right, and then this
is where they found they find more information.
672
00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:06.679
Six of the adopted adult children are
arrested or for all colluding in this,
673
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:13.320
and so eventually they find out that
two weeks before Flora Lis was elected,
674
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:16.159
she told one of the sons that
she needed to find a way out
675
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:21.280
because she could not separate. It
would be too scandalous for her to divorce
676
00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:27.000
and their son not if she got
away with it, which was her plan.
677
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:30.400
They didn't even plan well at all. So it's not well executed.
678
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:37.320
Yeah, not in this in this
case, how they you know how they
679
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:42.599
say there's too many cooks in the
kitchen. Yeah, yeah, that's what
680
00:50:42.760 --> 00:50:46.119
was happening here. So this was
what they needed. They needed her saying
681
00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:51.000
this. They needed to know the
motive, and now she was on record
682
00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:55.840
saying this, so they take her
into custody. Once she's arrested, more
683
00:50:57.400 --> 00:51:01.639
family members of the adopted adult children. They come forward and they said,
684
00:51:01.719 --> 00:51:05.920
we've been searching for our kids,
like we've been trying to contact them.
685
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:10.039
I I was waiting for this.
Wow. Yeah. So apparently like once
686
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:14.199
they stayed there, they were convinced
by her that they didn't need their old
687
00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:17.960
families. She was, you know, an angel reincarnated, just like a
688
00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:22.599
high control group. Yeah, like
isolating them, keeping them away from their
689
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:27.880
family. Yeah. On top of
that, they were put through these purification
690
00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:31.199
rituals or they were locked in rooms
for twenty one days. So yeah,
691
00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:37.199
like a coulp Yeah, straight up. Uh huh. And at least one
692
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:42.760
of the adult adopted children told police
that had a sexual relationship with Florida Lese.
693
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:45.760
So it's like now too known.
Yeah, and their son and now
694
00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:50.719
this other one, but you know
Florida Lese. She insisted that she was
695
00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:55.679
innocent. She had written this letter
that in fall of twenty twenty, claiming
696
00:51:55.719 --> 00:52:01.199
that Wagner was the one who told
Luca to get the gun and Lucas did
697
00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:05.679
it right, Lucas was the one
who shot, who fired, That's what
698
00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:09.599
her letter said. Then she had
one of the other adopted children take this
699
00:52:09.719 --> 00:52:14.119
letter to Lucas and telling him he
needs to take the fall for this,
700
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:19.159
that she would love him forever if
he took the fall for this. Lucas
701
00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:22.559
didn't do it. Instead, he
told police officers about the letter and how
702
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:25.079
she wanted him to rewrite this letter
to make it seem like it was coming
703
00:52:25.079 --> 00:52:30.639
from him, and then they added
forgery to her charges. She doesn't racking
704
00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:36.719
them up. Yeah, So now
Flabeo's arrested, Lucas gets more time added
705
00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:39.360
on because he's in jail during this, and then there's an impeachment vote because
706
00:52:39.400 --> 00:52:44.000
if she can get impeached, then
she can be tried actually go through the
707
00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:47.159
court system. So first she needs
to be impeached. At her impeachment trial,
708
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:51.960
she begs them not to impeach her, that she's innocent, but she
709
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:55.400
does get impeached. There were only
seven votes against it, and I'm like
710
00:52:57.079 --> 00:53:00.679
seven, that's like, that's went
too many. Yeah, what do you
711
00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:07.440
mean? Were le seven her adopted
children that made it into Congress that are
712
00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:13.400
part of Congress? No right?
So she posts a videos for her Instagram
713
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:16.199
later that day after the impeachment saying
that she's going to get arrested for something
714
00:53:16.199 --> 00:53:22.039
that she didn't do. That to
pray for her. She's been forsaken,
715
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:27.559
but she's arrested a little bit after
this video honestly, yeah, actually,
716
00:53:28.039 --> 00:53:31.320
and her much shrug goes viral.
She really thought she was going to get
717
00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:37.039
away with this. She still claims
innocence. She has eight hundred and ten
718
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:44.639
thousand followers on Instagram. Oh my
god, her handle is floor de lis
719
00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:49.840
Cantra. If anyone wants to look
up her Instagram, someone's running the account.
720
00:53:49.880 --> 00:53:52.719
I don't know if it's her,
someone for her, but Florida.
721
00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:57.880
Yeah. Oh during the trial and
all that, she was still active.
722
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:01.360
Yeah. Her thing says my mother
cut sinko echos, right, that's what
723
00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:05.400
it says. That's what that means. Let me see see translation to Cibo's
724
00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:07.400
right. Okay, what's right?
Mother of fifty five kids? Mm hmm
725
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:13.199
yeah, ridiculous, Like, no, you're not you stole these kids.
726
00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:16.400
But yeah, eight hundred ten already
said that number. Yeah. Five of
727
00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:21.800
her adopted kids testified against her.
In the trial. She was found guilty.
728
00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:25.679
She received a fifty year sentence.
Somehow, during her trial she already
729
00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:30.559
had a new boyfriend and he was
sobbing. I don't know how. Wow,
730
00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:34.719
No, Like, when does she
find times that day. Well,
731
00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:38.039
she delegated the killing to other people, so she had time. You're right,
732
00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:42.320
you're right. But yeah, he
was sobbing when he heard her sentence.
733
00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:45.599
Simone, her daughter, was found
guilty and sentenced for thirty one years
734
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:51.400
for you know, helping in the
murder planning. By the end of all
735
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:54.840
this, she had a total of
fifty five adopted and biological children, so
736
00:54:54.880 --> 00:55:00.639
fifty five children, and at her
trial she said the following, if I
737
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:02.639
leave here today, I'll leave with
my head held high because I know I'm
738
00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:07.079
indicent, and I know everyone will
know I'm or and everyone will know I'm
739
00:55:07.079 --> 00:55:13.039
innocent. My innocence will be proven. I keep fighting to guarantee my freedom,
740
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:16.079
the freedom of my children, and
mind family, which is also being
741
00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:21.039
wronged with everything that is happening,
My family is suffered. My family is
742
00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:28.159
being judged. Yeah at court.
Yeah, at court as you and they
743
00:55:28.199 --> 00:55:35.400
should, for plotting and executing the
murder of a man. Oh my god.
744
00:55:35.559 --> 00:55:37.400
Yeah. So yeah, in the
end, five kids were in jail.
745
00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:43.400
I know Flavio, Luca Si them, but I don't know about the
746
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:45.480
other. I don't know who the
other two are. I can find their
747
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:50.159
names, but yeah, that is
the case of Flora de Lis, the
748
00:55:50.199 --> 00:55:55.159
Mother of Brazil terrible fucking crazy.
I got worse and worse. Yeah,
749
00:55:55.480 --> 00:55:59.079
yeah, I really did. I
was like, oh, this story is
750
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:00.840
a little lighter when I was like
first like reading about it. Then I
751
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:02.559
was like, oh, god,
no, this is just as bad.
752
00:56:04.559 --> 00:56:07.559
I'm glad I didn't actually say that
in the episode. I have a little
753
00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:13.079
lighter true crime story for everyone.
It's definitely not no, it's it's dark,
754
00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:16.960
and it gets worse. Child abuse, child neglect, child fealing,
755
00:56:17.639 --> 00:56:29.559
endangerment, murder, poisoning, cold
yeah really yeah, grins terres everything.
756
00:56:30.119 --> 00:56:37.280
Yeah. So, anyway, I
guess we have reached the end of the
757
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:43.119
episode. Does anyone have spooky recommendations? I have one? Oh do tell
758
00:56:43.480 --> 00:56:45.519
Yeah? Well, I forgot to
mention it last time we recorded, but
759
00:56:46.039 --> 00:56:50.639
I wanted to recommend the movie that
me and you watched. What is it
760
00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:54.760
Life After Bed or something like that. Oh yeah, so is her name?
761
00:56:55.159 --> 00:57:00.400
Is it Aubrey or Audrey? It's
Aubrey, right, Aubrey Plasta yeah,
762
00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:05.159
Tomrey Yeah, Okay, anyway,
she's in it. Spencer from Krinel
763
00:57:05.239 --> 00:57:08.519
Mines is in it, and it's
like a zombie movie. But it's it's
764
00:57:08.599 --> 00:57:13.960
funny. Yeah, it's different.
It does have some like two thousand,
765
00:57:14.960 --> 00:57:21.079
two thousand humor a little outdated.
Yeah, but it's really like kind of
766
00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:24.119
concentrated in that one scene for the
most part, so it's not too bad.
767
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:27.719
But honestly, like, I liked
it, Like my favorite thing is
768
00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:32.519
horror comedies, which it is,
and like the sillier the dumber, the
769
00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:38.639
better for me. And it was
hilarious. Yeah, it was pretty silly,
770
00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:40.760
yeah, but I loved it.
I loved it. It was like
771
00:57:40.840 --> 00:57:45.840
a good silly yeah. Yeah.
