Brutal, bizarre, and boozy podcast by Jane and Deklan

Episode notes

Deklan tells us about the serial killer known as the I-5 Killer that was also called the I-5 Bandit. His actual name was Randall Woodfield and he was robbing, assaulting and killing during 1980-1981 in numerous cities across Washington, Oregon, and California. Most of his crimes took place in cities along the I-5 freeway. His true victim count is unknown but suspected to be over 40.

Jane tells us about 2 women who gave birth to children that did not show a DNA match to them. Lydia Fairchild was being suspected of fraud when she didn’t show a genetic match to her 3 children. Karen Keegan was seeking an organ donor when her doctor discovered her DNA did not match her children. It took a lot of researching for experts to determine both of the women suffered from a very rare medical anomaly known as Chimerism.
