The woman we will call Olivia met her husband for lunch at a restaurant in Western New York. The couple hadn't originally planned to stay at

this

restaurant for long, but one thing led to another. They were having a great time and in a short time that was the case. six in the afternoon and they had been there for six hours and during those six hours they had both eaten a lot, a lot of bread, pasta, cakes and all kinds of things, and they had drunk some alcohol, but not much.

Olivia had been careful. have only four drinks during those six hours because she wanted to be able to drive and her husband similarly limited his alcohol consumption so he could drive safely, so after receiving the check and paying for the meal, they both got into his car . respective cars and began driving home as Olivia headed home, unfortunately she got a flat tire so she pulled over to the side of the road and called roadside assistance while waiting for help to show up, another motorist was driving. They drove by and didn't understand what was happening, they saw Olivia standing outside her car with a blown tire and they thought she had been in an accident, so they called the police and reported it, and the police showed up a few minutes later.

He stops right behind Olivia and when they get out they ask her, you know, are you okay? Do you need help? and she was like, oh no, I just had a flat tire, I'm totally fine, you know, thanks for stopping, but the police. As they were listening to her talk, they see that her eyes look a little glassy and glazed like she was drunk and as she was talking they could have sworn that she was slurring her words and then they said: Hello ma'am, has she been drinking? tonight? She would tell them that well, yes, I have had a few drinks, but only four in the last six hours and I don't feel drunk at all, that has nothing to do with the situation I am in now.

She was drunk, but the police didn't believe it and so they put her through a series of field sobriety tests, which she managed to pass, but she struggled enough that some red flags went up, so they made her blow into a breathalyzer, a breathalyzer is a device that uses your breath to record how much alcohol is in your system, also known as blood alcohol content or bac for short bac, it is rated as a percentage out of 100 and no one should get behind the wheel of a vehicle If they are disabled, it is the case that in the United States you are legally allowed to operate a vehicle if your bac is point zero eight percent or less for reference, if a 160 pound woman consumed about three alcoholic drinks, maybe a little more in the course of an hour. she would most likely have a bac of 0.08 if that same 160 pound woman consumed, say, eight alcoholic drinks over the course of an hour, she would definitely not be allowed to legally operate a vehicle because she would be very, very drunk, her bac has skyrocketed to 0.2 percent, which would put her in the range where she would likely suffer alcohol poisoning and eventually pass out if

this

same 160-pound woman consumed 13 alcoholic drinks over the course of an hour, her back would jump up to 0.4 percent where not only is she drunk and can't operate a vehicle at that level you're talking about potentially dying from consuming that much alcohol when olivia blew into this breathalyzer she was hoping to be under 0.08 . percent of the legal limit because after all she had only had four alcoholic drinks in a six hour period and that would put her well below that legal limit, but that was not the case, she wasted a staggering .33 percent, the The cops couldn't believe what they were looking at because they're looking at Olivia and they're thinking that at that level she should be somewhere between passing out and dying, but here she is standing there talking to us and acting a little dazed, so They assumed her breathalyzer must have made a mistake so they went back to their car they took another breathalyzer they did it again and again Olivia blew 0.33 percent because the officers couldn't understand how this woman had such an extreme tolerance for alcohol but anyway She was charged with drunk driving and then taken to the hospital for medical intervention, where her bacteria level remained high even after a full day had passed without her consuming more alcohol.

This was around the time that Olivia was discovered to have a very, very rare medical condition called auto brewery syndrome, which in a nutshell, her body converted glucose from foods specifically carbohydrates like bread dough, that sort of thing into alcohol. Olivia, who was completely unaware of this condition, had developed this perverse tolerance to alcohol because she was basically drunk all the time, not because she drank a lot. but because she ate carbohydrates, this condition if left untreated can cause the same damage that alcoholism and excessive alcohol consumption can do to her body. The only way to treat her is to drastically change her diet when Olivia's condition was discovered and the charges against her were made public. she fell and she would stop eating carbohydrates completely in 1887.

Robert Ladrew, 35, was a very talented detective working in Paris, France. He was so talented that other police departments around the country periodically called him to help them solve. their most difficult cases and that year there was a coastal town in the north of France that had a number of sailors who went missing and no one had the slightest idea what had happened to them and naturally Robert was called in to investigate the night he arrived Robert. In this city it was very late and Robert was tired so he went straight to his hotel and went to bed the next morning, he got up and went straight to the local police department to meet the local officers he would be working with in this. investigation, but when he got there they told him that the missing sailors case had lost priority because a murder had been committed on their beach during the night and that was now their main focus, so they apologized to Robert and said: you already know.

I'm sorry you came all this way for nothing, but since you're here, do you want to help us with this beach murder investigation? And Robert said the victim was a middle-aged man named Andre Monet who owned a clothing store in Paris. Francia had recently moved to this coastal town to enjoy the beautiful scenery when his body was discovered early that morning and it was quickly determined that he had been killed by a single gunshot wound to the chest, where the bullet actually passed through him and exited through the chest. other side. But they had not found the bullet, there were no suspects, there were no clues, there was no clear motive, however they were able to rule out robbery because there was still money in Andre's pockets, so Robert and the other local officers left the police station and headed to the beach. where they began to examine the area where they had found Andre, the local officers concentrated on searching for the bullet while Robert decided to walk a bit along the beach to see if there was any evidence that had been overlooked during the initial search and after Walking a very short distance, Robert noticed some barely visible footprints that seemed to pass right by where Andre's body had been found and these footprints continued past that area and then up a flight of stairs to the path where Robert, missing, called the other officers and told them to make plaster casts of these footprints so they could be analyzed.

What that meant is that the officers would literally pour liquid plaster into these footprints and then when they dried, they would take out the plaster and it would literally be a 3D model of the foot that the prince had made and, while the officers are working on these molds, Robert tells one of the officers that these prints seemed very strange to him, like they were familiar in some way, but he simply couldn't place where he had seen them before, less than an hour later, when the plaster had dried, the Officers took them out and handed them to Robert and as soon as Robert looked at them he reacted physically to what he was seeing, he was like he was disappointed and then without saying anything he just walked down the beach with these casts until he came to a secluded area where he sat and sat there for hours and hours just staring at the casts seemingly unaffected by the sun he was on. burning on him all the time and the tide that was quickly closing in on him, the local officers who were watching this didn't know anything about Robert, all they knew is his reputation, which is a totally legendary detective, so they didn't know.

He dared to question his methods even though it seemed really strange what he was doing. Finally, in the middle of the afternoon, Robert Wood left the cast, stood up and walked back towards the bewildered local officials and when he walked towards them he would say no. there is reason to stay on the beach more or interview more witnesses. I think I solved the case, but then, instead of giving more details, he just turned around, walked off the beach and headed back to the local officers' hotel. They just looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders and left too early the next day, the bullet that had killed Andre Monet was found on the beach and when Robert showed up on the beach, the police chief gave him this bullet in an effort to help you.

He continued the investigation and as soon as Robert looked at him, he sighed and said, "Okay, now I know for sure what happened" and then Robert proceeded to break down the murder. He said that the killer woke up in the middle of the night the night Andre was murdered and got out of bed, got dressed and then went to the beach, there he met André Monet, a man he didn't know, who probably He had also gone out for a midnight walk. The two men engaged in a friendly conversation, but at some point it turned into some sort of fight, at which point the killer shot Andre in the chest and then fled the scene.

Robert told the local police chief that the reason he knew all these details is because he had been the murderer who killed Andre Monet but he didn't do it on purpose and he didn't remember it because he killed Andre Monet while he was sleepwalking, he told the local police chief. boss, when they gave him those plaster casts of those footprints he knew immediately why he thought. Those footprints looked very familiar to him because as soon as he looked at the molds he could tell that whoever had made the prince was missing a toe and it turned out that Robert He was missing a finger, so those footprints looked exactly like his footprints and that morning when he had woken up.

In his hotel room, before even going down to the beach, he had noticed that his shoes and socks that were next to his bed were sandy and wet and he thought that was very strange because he couldn't remember how they got to that position, but He was too busy to investigate and that night, after having sat all day looking at the casts and then leaving the beach leaving the local police completely bewildered, he had returned to his room and the first thing he did was take his revolver out from under his his pillow discovered that a bullet was missing and he always kept his revolver fully loaded and he spent the rest of the night trying to convince himself that this was just a big coincidence, but the next morning when he was given that bullet, he knew right away that this It wasn't a coincidence, the bullet that had killed Andre Monet was the same type of ammunition he loaded his revolver with, so he had to be the killer.

He had indeed

caught

himself. The police were totally shocked and did not believe this. At first, more specifically, they did not want to believe that Robert, their star detective, was behind this horrible homicide, but

finally

, after examining all the evidence, they agreed that he had to be the murderer, but to check if it was really sleepwalking and not from an elaborate cover. proposed by robert, they decided to carry out an experiment. Robert, who cooperated fully with the investigation, was told to sleep in this cell where he would be monitored 24/7 by armed guards and in this cell with him would be a revolver loaded with bullets. blank and was told to keep it under the pillow for the first few days.

Nothing happened. Robert never touched the revolver during the day or when he was asleep, but about a week after beginning this experiment, Robert suddenly woke up inmiddle of the night in this trance. In a similar state, he reached under his pillow, pulled out his revolver, and began shooting at the guards just outside the cell, convincing the police that Robert had been telling the truth about what happened to Andre. Monet. He had actually killed him while he was. sleepwalking the decision was made not to prosecute robert for the murder, instead they decided to basically exile him for everyone's protection and so from then until 1937 when robert died he was forced to live alone on an isolated farm in the outskirts of Paris, where the only visitors he ever received.

What they got were doctors who only appeared during the day and with armed bodyguards on December 18, 1956, a new truth-telling game show broadcast on a major American television network. The premise of the show was relatively simple. Four celebrities. The judges would be presented with three people called contestants who claimed to be the same person and this person they claimed to be was always notable in some way, had some amazing talent or some crazy job or had achieved something extraordinary with one of these three . The contestants were the real person they said they were, the other two people were doing their best to pretend to be that person and it was the celebrity judges' job to try to figure out who was telling the truth during a given period of time.

On the show, the celebrity judges would ask the contestants questions about their backgrounds and try to figure out who was who and then at the end of the time, the celebrities would cast a vote on who they thought was the truly notable person after voting. If they were told, the presenter would make the really notable person stand up to reveal himself and the whole audience would go crazy and that was the show and the show became quite popular, so popular that today, almost 70 years later, it is still on the air and throughout the show's long history, virtually every episode is quite similar.

It's a pretty redundant show, but there is one episode that will always remain the most unique. In October 1972, three contestants took the stage in front of the four celebrity judges. and they all introduced themselves as ed edwards, then the host of the show read aloud the biography of the real ed edwards and said that ed at one point was on the fbi's list of the 10 most wanted criminals in the united states for crimes like armed robbery and impersonating a federal officer and then when he

finally

got

caught

by the police and went to prison a prison guard helped him turn his life around and then upon release from prison 14 years later he was still this criminal reformed and became a successful and motivational author. speaker who specialized in telling people how to identify scammers and criminals and how to protect themselves from these people After Ed Edwards' real life biography was read aloud, the three contestants sat down and the celebrity judges began asking them questions about their past and then over the Time ran out, the celebrities cast their votes and then the real Ed Edwards was revealed and although two of the four celebrity judges had correctly identified the correct Ed Edwards, the crowd was left completely amazed at who this guy was actually because it didn't look like that.

An ex-convict, he seemed like that kind of middle-aged American dad who was totally harmless and wouldn't hurt a fly, but anyway the show ended and then the world forgot about Ed Edwards until 2009. That year, Ed Edwards' estranged daughter Ed 40. One-year-old April Blasio finally decided to investigate something that had plagued her throughout her childhood despite her father's claims that he was a reformed criminal and law-abiding guy. She didn't believe it. She never believed it. She thought he had done it. he had never reformed and was simply a criminal and had always been behind closed doors. Ed was violent and abusive and was a compulsive liar that she remembered in the 1970s and 80s when she was a child.

Ed would make his family pack up and move sometimes. In the middle of the night and April always assumed it was because her father was involved in something criminal, but every time she asked him, he said, "Well, you know, I was an informant when I was in jail and I ratted out some people." people and others." April knew he was lying, but there was nothing she could do, so they kept moving, but she always thought something else was going on, so it's 2009, when April is now. This 40-year-old woman is lying in bed one night and finally says, you know, I'm going to start Googling some things, so she gets on her laptop and starts typing in the different names of the cities she's in.

She and her family lived. she was a girl and then after she wrote the name of the city she would write unsolved mystery or unsolved crime and see if something turned up, and when she started searching she found one in 1980, it was an unsolved murder in a city . called Watertown Wisconsin, that happened right around the time her family lived very briefly in this city. There was a young teenage couple who had abandoned this wedding and were driving down a dead end road and were simply enjoying each other's company when an unknown assailant matching Ed Edwards' description approached their car, robbed them, shot dead and then disappeared so on a hunch April called the Watertown Police Department the next day and told them I think my dad might have been responsible for this double homicide it's just a hunch but it matches with the description.

We were there in this little window of time when it happened, so the police said okay, we'll go take a look and the Watertown police tracked down Ed Edwards. who was living in Kentucky at the time and they asked him to give them a DNA sample and when they tested the DNA sample it matched these samples that were taken at the crime scene in 1980, so Ed Edwards was arrested and taken back to Wisconsin. and as soon as he was detained he confessed to the murder and then sought the death penalty, but was told that the maximum punishment for this crime was life imprisonment.

Ed didn't like this and confessed to another double homicide in 1977 in Ohio, where he killed another teenage couple thinking that would get him the death penalty, but through a loophole they said, well, actually that hasn't happened yet. will give you the death penalty, you still face life in prison, and so frustrated, Ed revealed a third murder. had committed in 1996 he had killed his own adopted son to obtain the insurance money and for this crime he was eligible for capital punishment and for that he was sentenced to death, but he would die of natural causes two years later, in 2011, before The state could execute him since his death, cold case investigators and members of his own family have theorized that Ed Edwards is almost certainly responsible for more murders than the five he confessed to;

In fact, many people believe that Ed Edwards might actually be the infamous Zodiac Killer, one of the country's most notorious uncaptured serial killers who killed 37 people in Northern California in the 1960s and 1970s. this is

true

, so Ed Edwards didn't become a killer after being on that game show in 1972. Not when he showed up for it. game show and stood in front of the audience and smiled and answered questions to the famous panelists at the time while you watched him on TV, he would have been an experienced serial killer by now with dozens and dozens of victims, but Ed stopped confessing the murders. after that third confession because he was using those murders as bargaining chips to get what he wanted: the death penalty and once he got it he stayed silent and now that he is dead we are never going to get another confession out of him and there is no evidence that connect him to any unsolved murder case and therefore it is unfortunately unlikely that we will ever know the full extent of Ed's reign of terror, so that will do it guys, if you found the secret in today's episode , let us know in the comments section. what it is and where you found it, so give us the timestamp and if you're the first to do it, we'll put you at the top of the comments section if you learned something from today's episode and you haven't. this already please invite the like button to go to the cinema with you to see a movie that they really want to see and then proceed to talk to them incessantly throughout the entire movie and about halfway through spoil the ending also subscribe to our channel and turn on all notifications so you don't miss any of our 2 or three weekly videos.
