Jerry and Paula

The first time Jerry laid eyes on her he just knew she was wild. Paula was leaning over the pool table to sink the 5 into the corner pocket on the other end.  Her cleavage was obvious even through the smoke and shadows that accompanied every road-side bar in 1978. She made the shot.  Jerry made a decision to leave his beer half full on the bar and cozy on over to get a closer look.

The next 5 years were a blur of alcohol and cocaine. Eventually both of them wised up and got some help. In a little over a year and a half, the two seemed completely different, at least on the outside. Jerry had the typical 9-5er and Paula worked part-time at a dental office.  Long gone were the days of week-long benders, chain-smoking whatever was handed to you, and extravagant sexual deviance-at least that’s what Jerry thought.

On a Saturday night in April, Jerry came home 3 days early from what was supposed to be a week-long work trip. What he found would take a full year of therapy to describe. There were naked bodies, men and women; there was equipment, leather, chains, and whips.  It looked like a pornographic rodeo that was created by Tim Burton.  Jerry was frozen until a Parrot hopped up onto a lamp-shade and said, “Paula want a spankin? Paula want a spankin’”?

One night a few months later, Jerry found an old box of pictures. He threw most of them away, but always liked his hair in this picture so he cut Paula out, and put this on his refrigerator.

Samantha Six and Glenn Foxwell (Better known as Six and The Fox)

Six and the Fox Strike Again!

(Taken from Saint Louis Post-Dispatch 1947)

 

“Police and Federal Agents have begun the latest search for the notorious criminal duo in Joplin, Missouri after 3 separate bank robberies were reported on Friday.  According to local authorities, the pair of thieves used disguises and a ruse to be allowed behind the service counters.  Once in position, they threatened bank employees with weapons and managed to secure the front and rear exits from the inside with a chain and lock. It is unclear at this time how the bandits evacuated the buildings, but the effort to lock the buildings appears to be the reason why they were able to infiltrate and rob 3 separate banks in the same day. 

This is the 14^th robbery in the past 8 months that has been attributed to Samantha Six and Glenn Foxwell.  This will make the 6^th state to issue arrest warrants for the two individuals.  The couple’s crime spree began in Colorado Springs, CO where the two were nearly apprehended in a building that was under construction 2 blocks from the Bank of Colorado. The pair managed to elude police by using the access to the sewage tunnel below. Since that time, law enforcement has seemed to be one step behind.  It has been noted that the pair employ a range of disguises and a complicated series of steps to carry out these robberies which involve new tactics for each crime.

Anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest of Samantha Six and Glenn Foxwell will be rewarded $10,000. Be advised that both individuals are considered to be armed and extremely dangerous. If seen, do not approach them and contact your local police force immediately.”

Officer Ken Gilmore with Not His Wife

“You know who this is. My brother was a good man and you sent him up the river like he was nothin! Well, now you’re gonna pay. I’ve been watching you at the donut shop, at the ball games, and your little lady here.  I need $10,000 in a black bag to be put behind the dumpster at the end of Freemont Street by Friday night at 8PM. If I see any cops, if I see you hanging around, If I don’t get every last dollar, I will send a bunch of interesting pictures like this one to your lovely wife.  I have quite a nice collection going on over here.  This one is a bit more tasteful than some of my others If you know what I mean.”

Lars

Mrs. Turner’s husband passed away in 1962. A year later, she went to the local humane society and adopted a 7 week old Golden Retriever named Lars. Lars, a highly energetic young dog, was spoiled from the first day he came to his new home. Dog food soon became a thing of the past. Mrs. Turner returned to making meals for two and quickly Lars was eating better than most people in the neighborhood. He especially loved sandwiches. Mrs. Turner was a woman of routine and walked Lars 3 times a day at the same time, except that on Saturdays she took a turn and went downtown to do her weekly errands. Lars loved Saturdays because he saw many more people and animals, not to mention he had a good chance of getting something interesting to eat.  This particular Saturday, Mrs. Turner needed to pick up a prescription at the drug store.  When she and Lars arrived, Mr. Patterson was sitting down to get his picture taken for a travel Visa. He was in the middle of lunch and held his half eaten roast beef on whole wheat to the side just below the curtain. Upon smelling the tasty snack, Lars broke free nearly knocking Mr. Timmons over on his way through the door, and clamped down hard on the sandwich, hand and all.

The Many Lives of Edward Dwickle (Based on Dateline In-Depth Report titled The Spy who Spies on Spies: The Edward Dwickle Story.)

Excerpt from Matt Lauer Interview:

Matt: Tell us a little bit about your missions; exactly what were you supposed to be doing?

Ed: Well, Matt, it was the Cold War era. The United States and the former Soviet Union both had spies that had infiltrated their enemy’s government as well as each branch of their respective armed forces. My task during a span of about 15 years was to monitor the activity within the Unites States Navy of Soviet Spies who had already been identified by our Central Intelligence Agency and to collect information about their routine and note which information they had access to.

Matt: Amazing . So you are telling me that the United States was aware of foreign spies operating within our borders but chose to spy on them from within rather than arresting them?

Ed: That’s correct. Left to their own devices, these Soviet spies would tell us more about their intentions than any interrogation. Also, in this scenario, we were in the perfect position to feed these individuals false information. Naturally we disallowed individuals known to our government as traitors to access confidential or compromising information.

Matt: Ed we have some pictures here of you during your tenure as an intelligence operative. Can you give us some context for each of these?

Ed: The first is in Chicago when I was 18. Later than year I would approached by the CIA. The three pictures of me in uniform were different assignments: One was on a submarine in the north Atlantic, the second was on a Cruiser south of Japan, and the third I believe was at a naval base in Hawaii. The two in civilian clothing were during assignments on mainland in present-day Kazakhstan and Ukraine.

Matt: Tell me, did any of your spies figure out who you were, or what you were doing?

Ed: No, not to my knowledge.

Matt: Is Edward your real name?

Ed: (long pause) Of course it is. (wink)

“Get that car back over the mountain right now! Fill it with gas and wash it. You live in MY house, you’re driving HER car. When you can get on your own damn feet, THEN you can yell at me and hang up. Until then, you’ll be treated like the child you’re acting like. You were given use of that car to go to Tennessee and drop Brody off.  You were not given permission to take anyone’s mother to dinner. If you’re not happy with this message, then call me back and speak to me.”

Petty Officer Donald Glenmore and Lieutenant Roger Powell Jr.

The ship was taking on heavy water and it was only a matter of minutes before the destroyer would be fully submerged.  The presence of 2 foreign Battle cruisers approaching at 26 Knots from the Northeast prompted a hurried response and the awaited approval to consider the ships hostile and to fire.  The crew’s efforts to prepare for this urgent threat distracted from the submarine rising with an approach from The U.S. Titan 1’s flank.  By the time sonar confirmed the submarine’s range, two R-15 Ballistic Missiles had already been deployed. The stern and port-side hulls exploded simultaneously.  The Soviets soon had the Titan 1 surrounded and sat silently to watch the burning metal sink as men jumped from every side.

“This is it,” yelled Officer Glenmore, “I’ll never see my mother again, or anyone for that matter.”

“Son, if we survive this, I’ll dress up like your mother and take you out for dinner!”

Both Officer Glenmore and Lieutenant Powell were captured by Soviet forces and held at a naval base in Magadan for 6 weeks before being released.  The men were interrogated separately and endured intermittent beatings during their captivity. They later learned that American Naval forces took control of 3 Soviet trade ships and the two Cruisers that escorted them.  A deal was made to release the Cruisers in exchange for the release of the American hostages captured from the Titan 1.

This picture was taken in a club after their long flight to Moscow before beginning their journey home. Officer Glenmore didn’t even have to mention the promise the Lieutenant had made.  Powell honored his word with a red dress, shoes, lipstick, and a blonde wig. Dinner was awkward, but at the club they fit in just fine.
