Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of

00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.559

I get into today's episode, this is or it should be,
4
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:39.920
the first episode I've recorded since twenty twenty six has started.
5
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.039
So before I get into it, I want to say
6
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.359
I hope you had a safe, fun New Year's Eve
7
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:50.520
and New Year's Day. Personally, I watched a ton of football.
8
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.200
I watched the college football playoffs and man, if you're
9
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.799
a football fan, did you watch the Sugar Bowl unbelievable game.
10
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.799
Congratulations to Ole miss who is going to advance in that.
11
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.680
But I had a great time, safe time, no major
12
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.239
incidents to report, thank God. And I really appreciate all
13
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.400

16
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.239
bunch more so get ready, but today I'm bringing you
17
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.680
the story of Judy Whyna an O and this is
18
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.040
going to be a Fatal Fortune series episode. Now. She
19
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:36.159
is known as the Black Widow of Florida and she
20
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.439
was the first woman to ever be executed via the
21
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.959
electric care in nineteen ninety eight at the age of
22
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.599
fifty four after having three boyfriends. Her husband and even
23
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:52.280
her son died via arsenic poisoning between nineteen seventy one
24
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.680
in nineteen eighty three, with greed being the motivation in
25
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.159
all of these cases. So let's get in to it now.
26
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:07.200
Judy was born Judeas. I know, that's a strange first name,
27
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.400
but Judeas Wealthy in nineteen forty three in a town
28
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.080
called Quanta, Texas. And this is a very small town, y'all.
29
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.159
It's about eight miles south of the Oklahoma Texas state line,
30
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.439
but it has one hell of a history being named
31
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.800
after Quana Parker, who was the chief of the command
32
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.479
Chie Indian tribe. And incidentally, if you don't know that name,
33
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:39.520
check out probably the best book I have ever read.
34
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.639
It's called Empire of the Summer Moon. A guy by
35
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.000
the name of S. C. Gwen wrote that book and
36
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.840
it is about Quanta Parker and his dominance as the
37
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:56.280
chief of the commanchee Innian tribe. I'm telling you, it's unbelievable.
38
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.680
But that's a whole another podcast. So back to Judy.
39
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.800
She was the third of four children and as you
40
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:08.840
may already expect. She had a very troubling upbringing. Her
41
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:13.879
mother died of tuberculosis when she was just two years old,
42
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.800
and her and her brother were sent to live with
43
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.000
her grandparents for a stint. Her dad had to go
44
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.479
find work out of town. And now her father eventually
45
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.319
got remarried, and when he remarried, she and her brother
46
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:33.599
moved to reunite with him. And you'll never guess where
47
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:41.199
this guy lived. Roswell, New Mexico, the same Roswell, New Mexico,
48
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:46.120
during the timeframe when people were claiming UFOs were landing
49
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.840
every day in New Mexico. Just kind of a bizarre
50
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.680
place to live during that time, but that's where they
51
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.080
live now. This, unfortunately, was not what you would term
52
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:04.120
a happy, loving family environment. Judy would actually endure severe
53
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.879
physical abuse from both her father and her stepmother. Now
54
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:14.280
this abuse would include beatings, starvations, cigarette burns, and even
55
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.639
being forced to work around the house all day and
56
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.600
all night long, basically being a slave to these parents. Now,
57
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.560
at the age of fourteen, she would have enough. Judy
58
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.759
was done getting the ship beat out of her, being
59
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.759
treated like a slave and all this other stuff, and
60
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:38.680
she would attack her entire family, including her stepbrothers, by
61
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.079
throwing a full pot of hot grease at them and
62
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.639
then attacking them all with a broom handle. And this
63
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:52.040
would obviously lead to her rest at fourteen years old
64
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:57.240
and eventually a sixty day jail stint. Now she gets
65
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:02.279
released after those sixty days and she attends what's known
66
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.000
as Foothills High School, and that was a reform school
67
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:10.160
in those days for bad kids. She does graduate with
68
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.800
a high school diploma, and she did that at sixteen
69
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.759
years old in nineteen fifty nine, so she wasn't stupid
70
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:21.839
by any means. Now, after graduating, she starts working as
71
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.639
a nursing assistant and at the age of eighteen, the
72
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:29.920
young age of eighteen, she gives birth to a son.
73
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.319
Now remember the timeframe here, This is nineteen sixty one,
74
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.600
and in those days, it was not common for women
75
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.319
to have babies out of wedlock. As a matter of fact,
76
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:49.040
you were looked down upon big time if you got pregnant,
77
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.480
had a baby and you weren't married. And she would
78
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:55.360
get ridiculed by those who worked with her, those who
79
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.839
knew her that were friends and acquaintances of her, et cetera.
80
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.519
And she would say that this early ridicule of her
81
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.120
being pregnant. She would say much later on that she
82
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:13.720
would actually resent her son, who she would name Michael,
83
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.399
when he was born. So it was not too long
84
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.519
after she had Michael that gd she landed herself a husband,
85
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.959
and she married an Air Force sergeant in late November
86
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.839
of nineteen sixty two, and his name was James Goodyear.
87
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.639
Now together they would have two children, when in nineteen
88
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.759
sixty six she gave birth to a son named James Junior,
89
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.680
and then the very next year, in nineteen sixty seven,
90
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.199
she would give birth to a daughter she would name Kimberly.
91
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.920
So at this point in Judy's life, everything at least
92
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:54.160
on the exterior, appeared stable. They had children together, they
93
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.480
had moved at this point to Orlando, Florida, and in
94
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:04.000
the late nineteen sixties, James Goodyear gets called to service
95
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:09.720
country in Vietnam. He returns in June of nineteen seventy one,
96
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.160
and he was a war herobe right. And he had
97
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:18.040
cheated more deaths in Vietnam and in the jungles of
98
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.240
Vietnam than you can count. But he couldn't cheat death
99
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:27.639
in the safety of his own home. So shortly upon
100
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.879
his return back from Vietnam. As a matter of fact,
101
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:38.040
within weeks, James starts experiencing severe diarrhea, vomiting, He had
102
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.959
weakness in his arms and his legs, and he was hallucinating.
103
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.480
And these symptoms would grow worse over time. So it
104
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.240
was a kind of like a death of a thousand
105
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.160
cuts man. It just got worse and worse with each day,
106
00:07:54.120 --> 00:08:00.399
and eventually, on September thirteenth of nineteen seventy one, take
107
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.560
it anymore and he says, I got to go to
108
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.879
the hospital. And he gets hospitalized at the US Navy
109
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:14.800
Hospital in Orlando, Florida. Just three days later, he dies. Now,
110
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:21.000
typically if someone dies after prolonged symptoms like what James
111
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.959
Goodyear had and you can't really figure out what is
112
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.720
causing this stuff from a medical standpoint, there would be
113
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.560
a lot of red flags. There, a lot of things
114
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.519
that you may want to look into. But this guy
115
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:39.240
had just returned from Vietnam. An agent orange was rampant
116
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.000
in Vietnam, and a lot of guys were coming back
117
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.039
from the Vietnam War and they were having problems with
118
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.039
that and they were dying unexplainably. That's what his death
119
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.720
was more or less attributed to and it was interesting
120
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:59.759
that after her husband's death, Judy collected like thirty three
121
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.600
one thousand dollars. She had multiple life insurance policies out
122
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:09.200
on James Goodyear. She also collected about ninety five thousand
123
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:15.000
dollars in military benefits. So all told, Judy collected about
124
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.399
one hundred and thirty thousand dollars after the death of
125
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.480
her husband, which in today's money that's equal to about
126
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.080
a half million dollars. But no road flags are raised,
127
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.879
primarily because of the Vietnam connection. So Judy she didn't
128
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:35.799
stay single for long. Shortly after James Goodyear's death, she
129
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.039
starts dating a man by the name of Bobby Joe Morris,
130
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.639
and they dated a good while, and in nineteen seventy seven,
131
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.559
she actually moves with Bobby Joe Morris to Trinidad, Colorado.
132
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:54.039
Everything seems cool in the household, no problems, cope esthetic right,
133
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.200
But without Bobby Joe's knowledge, guess what Judy starts doing.
134
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.120
She starts taking out life insurance policies on Bobby Joe,
135
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.519
and in early nineteen seventy eight, Bobby Joe Morris starts
136
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:12.759
getting symptoms similar to those of her first husband. He
137
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:17.559
goes to the hospital, but initially he is released. Now
138
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:22.639
shortly after being released, however, he collapses at his home
139
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:27.720
and he's readmitted to the hospital. Two days later, he dies.
140
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.679
This is on June twenty third of nineteen seventy eight,
141
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.320
and he was just thirty five years old now at
142
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:40.799
the time of his death. That also wasn't deemed suspicious
143
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:46.000
because they initially attributed this to natural causes and they
144
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.480
just assumed he had a heart attack due to an
145
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:54.480
undiagnosed issue. And again, at least financially, Judy would benefit.
146
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:59.320
She collected approximately thirty to forty thousand dollars on the
147
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:04.080
policy she had taken out on Bobby Joe. So, following
148
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:08.519
Bobby Joe Morris's death, she dates another guy. Now his
149
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:13.600
name is Gerald Dosad. Very little is known about this
150
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:18.159
particular guy, or really the relationship in general, outside of
151
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.559
the fact that they dated very briefly. They weren't together
152
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:25.639
very long at all. This was around nineteen eighty and
153
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.840
she was back in Florida by this point, and he
154
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:34.639
died while they were dating after exhibiting guess what, similar
155
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:39.440
symptoms to that of Judy's last two relationships that ended
156
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:46.639
in death. So that brings us to her first born son, Michael,
157
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.240
And I'm going to backtrack a little bit and I'm
158
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.440
going to tell you what happened to him. So, in
159
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:55.679
nineteen seventy nine, Michael joins the army, and as soon
160
00:11:55.720 --> 00:12:01.519
as he joins the army, he starts exhibiting symptoms similar
161
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.720
to all those prior deaths. It gets so bad from Michael,
162
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.320
in fact, that he gets discharged from the army on
163
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.480
medical grounds. And this guy is really messed up, y'all,
164
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.519
so much so that he returns to live with his
165
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:21.279
mother in Florida because he was practically paralyzed. He couldn't
166
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:25.200
even walk by this point. Now, in early nineteen eighty,
167
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.440
when he comes back, Judy opens a hair salon and
168
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:34.639
around that time she also takes out multiple life insurance
169
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:40.159
policies on her son Michael. Then, on May thirteenth of
170
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:44.879
nineteen eighty, Judy takes Michael and his younger brother his
171
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:49.799
name was James Junior, on a canoeing trip. And they
172
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.200
went on this canoe trip to what's known as the
173
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:57.960
East Bay River. This is near Santa Rose County, Florida. Sadly,
174
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:02.919
During this trip, the canoe capsizes and Michael he wore
175
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.200
heavy braces on his legs like Forrest Gump style. Y'all.
176
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.320
Everybody gets knocked out of the boat because it capsized,
177
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.919
and Judy and James Junior they're able to swim to
178
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.720
the shore and they're unhorned. But because of these heavy
179
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:23.720
leg braces, Michael is so wayed down he drowns. So
180
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:29.399
initially his death is ruled an accidental drowning, and Judy
181
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:34.639
again profits from this death. She collects over one hundred
182
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:40.240
thousand dollars in life insurance. So at this point, it's
183
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:45.120
nineteen eighty one, and you already have four deaths of
184
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:50.000
people very close to Judy, all dying with close to
185
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.840
the same symptoms. So let's recap that for a minute now.
186
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:59.919
In nineteen seventy one, her first husband James Goodyear, he died.
187
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:05.960
In nineteen seventy eight, boyfriend Bobby Joe Morris dies. In
188
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:11.720
nineteen eighty Michael hy noan O he dies, and in
189
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.320
nineteen eighty also her boyfriend for just a very short stint,
190
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.480
we don't know a whole lot about Gerald Docet he dies.
191
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:25.360
And in three of those four cases, insurance policies were
192
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:31.840
collected by Judy and also taken out by Jitdy. So
193
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.840
that brings me to nineteen eighty one and Jitty meets
194
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:39.960
a man by the name of John Gentry. Now Gentry.
195
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:43.919
He was described as a kind man, a trusting man.
196
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.399
He was a businessman in the Pensacola area. And by
197
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.840
August of nineteen eighty one, Judy, James Junior, and Kimberly
198
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:59.000
they move in with Gentry in Pensacola, Florida. And Gentry
199
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:04.080
he was super by all accounts of Judy, he was
200
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:08.759
in love right. He would help her financially, especially with
201
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.440
a beauty salon that she wanted to open in What's
202
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.159
Nonna's Golf Breeze, Florida. He financed that and she would
203
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.480
call that beauty salon Fingers and Faces. And it was
204
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:25.960
really his money that enabled her to get that salon.
205
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.919
Even though and look, I tried to research us, I
206
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.159
don't know what she did with all this money. That
207
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.519
she had a lot of money herself from all of
208
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:38.159
these life insurance policies that she was collecting on, but
209
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.759
it seemed like she blew through her money pretty quick. Now,
210
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.960
everything on the surface seemed great in this relationship, and
211
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.000
this guy really loved her. However, in nineteen eighty two,
212
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.360
friends would comment later that she would start fabricating stories
213
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.360
about John Gentry. She would tell friends that he had
214
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.440
a terminal illness, which he did not have any terminal imness,
215
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.080
And looking back with hindsight, it seems like she was
216
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.919
setting them up right. She was trying to almost form
217
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:14.279
an alibi before anything happened. Now, unbeknownst to Gentry, Judy
218
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.840
starts taking out life insurance policies on him, and by
219
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.279
now you could probably guess where this one is headed.
220
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.559
Not only does she take out policies behind his back,
221
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.360
but later the same year that she took out these policies,
222
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:37.919
she actually increases them significantly tenfold, from fifty thousand dollars
223
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:42.799
total to five hundred thousand dollars total. So, in mid
224
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:47.720
nineteen eighty three, guess what old John Gentry. He starts
225
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:53.039
getting ill with stomach cramps, he has muscle weaknesses, he
226
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:58.600
has vomiting, and eventually he gets hospitalized, but he recovers
227
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:02.600
and he sent home. And just a couple of months later,
228
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.839
on June twenty fifth of nineteen eighty three, Judy goes
229
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.240
up to John one day at the house and she
230
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:16.279
basically says, I'm pregnant, very excited. John's in love, He's
231
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:20.000
very excited, He's gonna have a kid. And he says, well,
232
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:22.039
I'm going to go to the store and I'm going
233
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.920
to pick up some champagne so we can celebrate. He
234
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.559
gets in his car, he backs up to leave, and
235
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:37.279
the freaking car explodes. The blast was so severe that
236
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:42.519
it blasts out part of his stomach, his kidneys, in
237
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:47.359
his intestines. Now, all I can say is by sheer miracle.
238
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:52.160
When police arrive on the scene, he's still alive, but
239
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.680
he's transported to the hospital and he spends several days
