I want you to leave my episodes not only knowing that the people who I talk about are real.. what happened to them is real but also acknowledging that they are much more than just their deaths. Each audio file from this podcast is taken from my videos on YouTube.

In October 2017, 76‑year‑old Gail Peck vanished from the Chicago‑area home she shared with her son, 55‑year‑old Brian Peck, after yet another argument over how loudly he was blasting his Jimi Hendrix records. Brian later admitted that when Gail confronted him about the deafening music, the fight escalated until he knocked her to the floor and stomped on her head and neck, killing her in their Elgin, Illinois house. Instead of calling for help, Brian dismembered Gail’s body in the bathtub, packed her remains into bags, a suitcase, and a duffel, and dumped them in Lake Michigan and Chicago’s Lincoln Park lagoon while pretending she had simply gone out for a walk and never returned. Days later, a fisherman found a duffel bag full of body parts, and forensic work led back to Gail and to Brian’s story about a “Jimi Hendrix” argument turned deadly. A jury convicted Brian of first‑degree murder, dismembering a human body, and concealing a homicidal death, and he was sentenced to 62 years in prison, effectively ensuring he will die behind bars.","meta_description":"As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Gail Peck with me today.
