"THE SEARCH HISTORY HALL OF SHAME: When Google Became God's Greatest Snitch"

"THE SEARCH HISTORY HALL OF SHAME: When Google Became God's Greatest Snitch"

Reid Carter presents the weekend special that proves criminals are getting dumber, not smarter. The Google Graveyard chronicles history's stupidest search histories that solved their own murders. From Brian Walsh googling "how to dispose of 115-pound woman's body" to classic cases like "how to kill someone and make it look like suicide." These digital confessions have replaced actual confessions because murderers treat Google like their personal crime consultant. Saturday reveals the hall of shame of killers who thought clearing their browser history cleared their crimes. Spoiler alert: Google remembers everything, the FBI knows how to subpoena, and incognito mode isn't magic.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.039
Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm read Carter. Saturday, September twentieth,

2
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.120
twenty twenty five. This weekend, we're taking a break from

3
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.079
breaking news to explore something that's been driving me insane

4
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:24.839
all month. Criminals who Google their crimes. Every case we've

5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.359
covered lately involves some moron typing their murder plans into

6
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.719
a search bar like Google is their personal crime consultant

7
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:35.719
who signed an NDA. Brian Walsh googled how to dispose

8
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.520
of his wife's exact body weight. Herbert Swilley searched for

9
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.799
making murder look like suicide. Jose Sodo Escalera looked up

10
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:48.600
electrical cord strength. Bryant Tajada comparison, shopped for Tomahawks on

11
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.039
Amazon with prime shipping. These aren't even the dumbest ones.

12
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.479
Today and tomorrow, we're diving into the Google Graveyard, where

13
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.719
search histories become confessions and criminals convict them themselves one

14
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:05.319
query at a time. This is Celebrity Trials the Google Graveyard,

15
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:11.000
Part one, The Foundation of Stupidity fifteen minutes. Let's start

16
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.959
with a fundamental question, when did criminals become this stupid?

17
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.959
The answer they've always been this stupid. They just used

18
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.760
to be stupid in private. Now they're stupid on the

19
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.239
permanent record that is the Internet. Before Google, if you

20
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.560
wanted to know how to dispose of a body, you

21
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.000
had to figure it out yourself, maybe by a suspicious

22
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.200
book that could be traced. Maybe ask a sketchy friend

23
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.879
who might testify against you. Most likely you just wing

24
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:39.840
it and get caught because you had no idea what

25
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:44.439
you were doing. Enter Google launched in nineteen ninety eight.

26
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.120
By two thousand and four, it became a verb. By

27
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:53.959
twenty ten, everyone was googling everything, including murder. The first

28
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.599
major case where Google searches convicted someone Justin Barber two

29
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:02.719
thousand and two. This Florida man, because it's always Florida,

30
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.840
shot his wife on the beach and then shot himself

31
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.599
to make it look like a robbery. His Google searches

32
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.520
from the weeks before included medical trauma, gunshot chest, blood loss,

33
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.759
shot to chest, and my personal favorite, Florida and divorce.

34
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.560
He literally googled Florida divorce laws, decided murder was easier,

35
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.080
then googled how to shoot himself non fatally. He's serving

36
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.719
life without parole because he trusted Google. More than a

37
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.479
divorce lawyer. But that was two thousand and two. Smartphones

38
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.560
barely existed. Most people still had dial up Internet. You'd

39
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.479
think criminals would have learned by now that Google keeps records.

40
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.599
You'd be wrong. Fast forward to twenty eighteen. The case

41
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.120
that should have taught every criminal to stay off Google,

42
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.639
the murder of Kelsey Bareth by her fiance Patrick Frasy.

43
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:55.039
Phrasey's searches were a masterclass in self incrimination. How long

44
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.319
before a body starts to decompose? What do human ashes

45
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.599
look like? How hot does fire need to be to

46
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:07.000
destroy evidence? And then showing he at least had one

47
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.520
functioning brain cell. Can the FBI trace Google searches? Yes, Patrick,

48
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.719
yes they can. That's why you're serving life without parole.

49
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.680
But my favorite pre murder Google fail comes from twenty nineteen.

50
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.759
Jennifer Dulas disappeared in Connecticut. Her estranged husband, Fotus Dulas

51
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.520
was the prime suspect. His Google searches included bodybuilding, protein, powder,

52
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:34.120
and wait for it, Jennifer Dulos missing. He googled his

53
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.800
wife's missing person case before she was reported missing, before

54
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.919
anyone knew she was gone, he literally searched for news

55
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.400
about a disappearance that hadn't been discovered yet. When cops

56
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.159
asked him about it, he said he was anticipating that

57
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.800
she might go missing to frame him. Right, You anticipated

58
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.240
your wife's disappearance so accurately that you googled it before

59
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:01.439
it happened. That's not anticipation. That's confession. Killed himself before trial,

60
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:06.039
probably after googling countries without extradition treaties and realizing Greece

61
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.240
wasn't far enough. These aren't isolated incidents. A twenty twenty

62
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.120
two study found that eighty seven percent of murder cases

63
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.560
now involve some form of digital evidence, and in cases

64
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.720
where the murderer googled their crime, the conviction rate is

65
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.839
ninety four percent. Ninety four percent. You have better odds

66
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.199
playing Russian Roulette than googling your murder plans. Yet they

67
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:31.600
keep doing it. Why because we've trained ourselves to google everything.

68
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.240
Can't remember the capital of Montana? Google it? Need a

69
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:39.279
banana bread recipe, google it. Planning to murder your spouse

70
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.920
apparently google that too. It's muscle memory. At this point,

71
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.040
these killers probably googled their murders while sitting next to

72
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.240
their victims. Honey, what are you looking up? Oh, just

73
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.240
checking the weather types. How much anti freeze kills a person.

74
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.800
The foundation of stupidity isn't that criminals are dumber. Now,

75
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.079
it's that they've outsourced their thinking to a search engine

76
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.519
that records everything and shares it with law enforcement. They've

77
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:12.319
turned Google into God's greatest snitch. Now, let's talk about

78
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.839
the current champion of Google stupidity. Brian Walsh. This Massachusetts

79
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.720
genius didn't just google one incriminating thing. He created a

80
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.399
whole search history curriculum for how to get convicted of murder?

81
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.959
One oh one. Let me take you through Brian's greatest

82
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.560
hits chronologically, because the progression is actually breathtaking in its stupidity.

83
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.680
December twenty seventh, twenty twenty two, on a Walsh is

84
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.439
still alive, Brian searches what's the best state to divorce

85
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.480
for a man? Okay, normal enough for an unhappy husband,

86
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.279
But then ten minutes later how much alimony in Massachusetts?

87
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.600
Followed immediately by how to stop a body from decomposing?

88
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.160
That escalated quickly from divorce to decomposition in under fifteen minutes.

89
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.720
That's not a thought progression, that's a murder plan. Developing

90
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.319
in real time. January first, twenty twenty three, Anna disappears.

91
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.279
Brian searches that day include how long before a body

92
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.839
starts to smell? How to clean blood from wooden floor,

93
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.399
and what happens when you put body parts in ammonia?

94
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:27.199
Body parts plural. He wasn't just planning to kill Anna,

95
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.759
he was planning to dismember her, and he asked Google

96
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.839
for instructions like he was assembling ikea furniture. January second,

97
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.120
Anna has been missing for one day. Brian searches, can

98
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.920
you track a phone that's off? How to dispose of

99
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.160
a one hundred and fifteen pound woman's body? And hacksaw

100
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.480
best for bones? One hundred fifteen pounds Anna's exact weight.

101
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.279
He didn't even round up or down, just typed his

102
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.800
wife's precise weight into Google, along with the word dispose.

103
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:02.480
That's not suspicious at all. January third, Luminol detect blood,

104
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:07.079
can bleach destroy DNA evidence? What is the rate of

105
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.800
decomposition in cold weather? He's literally googling the forensic techniques

106
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.120
that will catch him while simultaneously googling how to avoid them.

107
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.920
It's like robbing a bank while calling nine to one.

108
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:22.920
One to ask about their response time. January fourth, Brian

109
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.360
finally reports on a missing his search that morning, how

110
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.600
to act sad at a press conference. I'm not making

111
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.879
that up. He googled how to act sad like. There's

112
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.000
a wicki how article on five tips for seeming grief

113
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.759
stricken when you've murdered your wife. The prosecutor said Brian's

114
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.040
Google history was the most comprehensive confession they'd ever seen.

115
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:49.040
He documented his entire thought process, from considering divorce to

116
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:53.000
dismembering his wife. Brian's lawyer tried to argue the searches

117
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:58.000
were taken out of context. Context What context makes Hacksaw

118
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.240
best for bones innocent? Was he planning to become a

119
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:06.680
butcher taking up recreational surgery? The jury deliberated for less

120
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.879
than two hours, probably spent most of that time reading

121
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.319
through Brian's searches and trying not to laugh at the stupidity.

122
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.120
Brian Walsh wins the award for the most self incriminating

123
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.279
Google history and murder case history. He turned the world's

124
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.680
most powerful search engine into his prosecution's star witness. And remember,

125
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.199
Brian got stabbed in prison last week. Even convicted killers

126
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.639
think he's an idiot. When murderers are shanking you for

127
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:39.879
being too stupid, you've really achieved something. Before we had

128
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.879
Brian Walsh's masterpiece, we had other classics in the Google

129
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.480
Hall of shame. Let's talk about Neil Entwhistle two thousand

130
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:49.679
and six. This British man living in Massachusetts shot his

131
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:53.200
wife and baby daughter, then fled to England. His Google

132
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.159
searches before the murders included how to kill with a

133
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.840
knife quietly and pointy two caliber kill someone. But here's

134
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:04.039
the beautiful part. He also googled how to have an

135
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:08.960
affair and escort services Boston, so his digital footprint showed

136
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.720
motive and method. He wanted to cheat, decided murder was

137
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.799
easier than divorce, then asked Google for technical assistance. He's

138
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.200
serving life without parole, probably wondering why he didn't Google.

139
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.159
Will Google searches be used against me in court? Answer? Yes,

140
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.799
Neil always yes. Then there's the case of Casey Anthony. Yes,

141
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.120
that Casey Anthony, the one who got away with murdering

142
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.360
her daughter Kaylee. Except she didn't really get away with it.

143
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.720
The jury just didn't understand technology. Her computer showed searches

144
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:44.759
for chloroform, how to make chloroform, neck breaking and death.

145
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.519
The prosecution said she googled methods to kill her daughter.

146
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:53.480
The defense claimed she was researching chlorophyl for school. Chlorophyl

147
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.159
for school. The twenty two year old high school dropout

148
00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:00.480
was researching plant biology while her daughter was CoInc incidentally

149
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:04.799
dying from undetermined causes. The jury acquitted her, but those

150
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.519
searches tell the real story. Casey Anthony googled how to

151
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.519
kill her child, did it, and got away with it

152
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.919
because twelve people didn't understand that nobody accidentally searches for

153
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.200
neck breaking. More recently, we have the case of Brian Walshey.

154
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:25.159
Different Brian, different murdered wife, same stupidity. This Brian from

155
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:29.080
Utah killed his wife Barbara in twenty twenty two. His

156
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:33.240
searches included how long does DNA last? Can you identify

157
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.440
a body with broken teeth? And how to clean blood

158
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:40.519
from carpet. He also searched for countries that don't extradite

159
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.440
and how to change identity. My man was planning his

160
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.159
whole new life while his wife's blood was still wet

161
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.120
on the carpet. He was googling how to clean he's

162
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.480
awaiting trial. But with that search history, his lawyer should

163
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.200
just google how to negotiate a plea deal and call

164
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.279
it a day. The pattern is always the same. They

165
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.879
google the method, how to poison someone, where to shoot

166
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:06.600
someone fatally? How much insulin kills a person? Then they

167
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:10.200
google the cover up, how to pass a polygraph, bleach,

168
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.840
destroy evidence, how to police investigate murders. Then they google

169
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:19.799
the aftermath, countries without extradition, how long before missing person

170
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:23.960
declared dead? Can you collect life insurance if body never found.

171
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.720
It's like they're creating a PowerPoint presentation titled why I'm

172
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.879
Guilty and emailing it directly to the FBI. My personal

173
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:38.320
favorite subgenre killers who google their victims after killing them,

174
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.000
like Thomas Murray, who murdered his wife in twenty seventeen,

175
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.600
then googled her name constantly to see if she'd been found.

176
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:49.639
He'd check news sites, social media, missing persons databases. The

177
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:53.639
prosecutor called it digital grave visiting. He couldn't stop checking

178
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.759
on his crime. His obsessive googling of his dead wife

179
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:10.279
led police right to him. Moment, we can't talk about

180
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:14.440
digital stupidity without mentioning Amazon, Google's partner in solving crimes.

181
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.840
Bryant to Jada, who we covered this week, didn't just

182
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.399
google how sharp does a tomahawk need to be? He

183
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:25.799
bought the Tomahawk on Amazon with prime shipping using his

184
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:30.799
own account, delivered to his home address. Amazon keeps records

185
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:35.559
of everything, every search, every view, every purchase. That tomahawk

186
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.799
had a digital paper trail from frequently bought together to

187
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.519
customers also viewed to delivered by Fernando at two forty

188
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.679
seven pm. But Bryant's not alone. In twenty nineteen, Todd

189
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.120
Barkett killed his wife with a hammer, A specific hammer,

190
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:55.320
a st wing, twenty two ounce framing hammer with a

191
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.759
milled face and shock reduction grip. How do we know

192
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.559
the exact specifications? He bought it on Amazon three days

193
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:06.399
before the murder. His Amazon history also showed he'd view tarps,

194
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:09.600
zip ties, and a bone saw. He added them all

195
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.679
to his cart, but only bought the hammer. Probably thought

196
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.039
he was being smart by not buying the whole murder

197
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.440
kid at once. Instead, he created a digital wish list

198
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:23.360
of premeditation. Then there's the case of Kellen Winslow Junior,

199
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.759
the NFL player who was convicted of rape and kidnapping.

200
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.960
His Amazon history included zip ties, ski masks, and a

201
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.720
GPS tracker. His defense claimed these were for legitimate purposes. Right,

202
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:40.159
every innocent person needs zip ties, ski masks, and GPS

203
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:44.320
trackers from Amazon. That's definitely not a kidnapping starter pack

204
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.679
with free two day shipping. The best part about Amazon

205
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:51.679
evidence people leave reviews. I'm not joking. Criminals review their

206
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.600
murder weapons. In twenty twenty, James Scanderito Junior killed his

207
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.480
father with a baseball bat he bought on Amazon. He

208
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.720
left a one star review, broke after one use, very disappointed.

209
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:07.240
One use to kill his father, and he was disappointed

210
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.360
in the product quality, not the patricide. Amazon has become

211
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.879
the everything store, including everything you need to convict yourself store.

212
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.519
These killers are building their own prosecutions, one prime delivery

213
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:27.399
at a time. So why do they do it? Why

214
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:32.679
do seemingly intelligent people google their crimes. It's not just stupidity,

215
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:36.240
though that's a factor. It's habit. We've trained ourselves to

216
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:40.679
google everything instantly. Having a thought without googling it feels incomplete.

217
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:44.039
Think about your own life. You probably google dozens of

218
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:48.840
things daily without thinking whether tomorrow best tie food near me,

219
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:53.480
how to remove red wine stains. It's automatic thought to

220
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:57.320
search in milliseconds. Now, imagine you're planning a murder. Your

221
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.600
brain doesn't suddenly develop a new decision making process. It

222
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.639
uses the same pattern. I need to kill my wife

223
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:06.039
becomes how to kill your wife in the search bar

224
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.759
before the frontal lobe can scream what are you doing?

225
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:14.360
There's also main character syndrome. These killers think they're special, different,

226
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:17.600
smarter than everyone who got caught before them. They know

227
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:21.600
Google keeps records, but surely they'll be the exception. They

228
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.919
think they'll use incognito mode, which does nothing to hide

229
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.440
searches from your ISP or law enforcement. They think they'll

230
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.639
use a VPN, which they set up using their credit

231
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.039
card and real email. They think they'll delete their history,

232
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.399
not understanding that Google keeps it anyway. Some even google

233
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:44.120
how to permanently delete Google history right before googling how

234
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.039
to kill someone, like Google is going to help them

235
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:51.000
hide evidence from Google. It's the same overconfidence that makes

236
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:52.879
them think they can get away with murder in the

237
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:55.720
first place. If you're arrogant enough to believe you can

238
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:58.799
kill someone and not get caught, you're arrogant. Enough to

239
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.000
believe you can google it. So there's also the paradox

240
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.200
of needing information to commit the perfect crime, but not

241
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:08.879
being a criminal who knows that information. These are amateurs,

242
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.039
first time killers. They don't know how to dispose of

243
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.279
bodies or fake crime scenes, so they ask the Internet,

244
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.559
not realizing they're creating evidence with every keystroke. The real irony.

245
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.279
If they didn't google anything, many might get away with it.

246
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.519
It's the searches that provide motive, method and timeline. Without

247
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:31.000
Brian Walsh's Google History proving he murdered Anna would be

248
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:34.399
much harder. Without Herbert Swilly's searches, his wife's death might

249
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.679
have been ruled a suicide. Google doesn't make them killers,

250
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:43.879
but it does make them convicted killers. That's Celebrity Trials

251
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:47.919
for Saturday, September twentieth. Today we explored the Search History

252
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.600
Hall of Shame, where killers document their own crimes in

253
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:56.000
the most permanent way possible. Google searches from Brian Walsh's

254
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.960
Comprehensive Murder Curriculum to Casey Anthony's chloroform research to Idia

255
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.159
It's leaving one star Amazon reviews for their murder weapons.

256
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.240
The digital age has made criminals easier to catch and

257
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:10.759
harder to defend. Tomorrow, we expand beyond Google to explore

258
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:17.279
the entire digital graveyard, Facebook posts, Instagram stories, tiktoks, deleted

259
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:21.319
texts that aren't deleted, find my iPhone pinging at crime scenes,

260
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:25.839
and my personal favorite killers who stream their crimes. Because

261
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.319
it's not just Google anymore, every app, every device, every

262
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.920
digital interaction is a potential witness, and criminals can't stop

263
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:36.680
incriminating themselves. I'm read Carter. If you're planning to murder

264
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:42.519
someone this weekend, first, don't Second, definitely don't google it. Third, seriously,

265
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:45.119
just get a divorce. It's cheaper than prison, and you

266
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:49.240
can still use Amazon Prime. Remember Google is not your friend.

267
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.680
It's not your therapist, it's not your crime consultant. It's

268
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.480
a permanent record of your worst thoughts that will be

269
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:58.880
projected on a courtroom screen while a prosecutor explains why

270
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.440
you're going to die in prison. See you tomorrow for

271
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.319
part two of the Google Graveyard, where we explore how

272
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:06.519
your phone knows you're a killer before the cops do.
