Alright, everybody gather around, grab a chair, grab a beer, let's talk some truecrime. Friday the 13th lore stems from a combination of Christian, Norris, and historic superstitions, viewing the day in number as uniquely unlucky. Key origins include the 13th guest, with Judas being the 13th guest at the last supper who portrayed Jesus.

3:35Jesus was crucified on a Friday, cementing the day as unlucky. In Norse mythology, Loki, the 13th god to arrive at the feast of Vahala, brought chaos and death by causing the murder of Baldur the Beloved. Further, on Friday, October 13th, 1307, King Philip IV of France ordered the mass arrest of the Knights Templar, reinforcing the date's negative reputation. Historically, 12 is often viewed as a number of completeness, 12 months, 12 apostles, making 13 a disruptive and unlucky number. And of course, there is the popular, slasher film movie franchise, Friday the 13th. Originally the title, Friday the 13th was used to attract investors before having a script,

4:35aiming to capitalize on the superstition. In this scenario, it proved to be good luck, as the franchise completed 12 movies. The film series centers on Jason Voorhees, who drowned as a child at Camp Crystal Lake due to counselor negligence. Decades later, the lake is rumored to be cursed, and is the setting for a series of mass murders. The films were great and great fun for late Friday night viewing, but that was the work of fiction. Today's story is real, welcome to True Crime Garage. In the small, quiet town of Panhandle, Texas, where life moved at a gentle pace, the

5:36summer of 1990 was about to be shattered by an event so violent that it would sear into the town's memory forever, for lawmen working in this area. The night of Friday, July 13th, Friday the 13th, 1990, would stand apart from all others. It was a night that defied the very nature of this peaceful community. The chaos began in the dead of night, while the residents of Panhandle were sleeping. Many of their doors unlocked and windows opened to let the cool night air in, but danger was running and creeping through their streets. The first call came in to law enforcement reporting a brutal attack. So officers arrived at the home of a Jimmy Britton to find a horrific scene. Britton was bleeding.

6:37He was awake. He was responding, but he was bleeding profusely from multiple slash wounds across his torso. Despite this attack and terrible injuries that he sustained, he was able to identify his attacker here, Captain, and his attacker was a young man, Kenneth Glenn Milner. In fact, he knew this young man fairly well because Kenneth Glenn Milner was the ex-boyfriend of his stepdaughter. He's known to everyone as Glenn. This is a teenager who was no stranger to the local law enforcement. Jimmy Britton had considered Glenn Milner bad news and told him to stay away from his stepdaughter and he did everything he could to keep the young man away from his stepdaughter. It looks like that decision, that action resulted in revenge from the young man, a violent,

7:43unprovoked assault and nearly deadly at that. Yeah, but normally when the scary older stepfather says, stay away from my daughter, the individual stays away. They don't come back and attack. So Captain, this Kenneth Glenn Milner, Glenn Milner known to everyone in the town of Panhandle. He's 19 years old. He's a bad seed. He's difficult to sort out because for my understanding, in school, he's a good student. He gets good grades. He's considered to be smart. But he is, as said, he's had a few run-ins with police and that is why Jimmy Britton believed him to be a bad seed, to be bad news for his stepdaughter, for his family and didn't want the youngster coming around. Based off of the injuries that Jimmy sustained and seeing him, pictures of him after this

8:48attack, I am convinced that Glenn Milner only left the scene of that attack because he thought that Jimmy would die, that he would die from these injuries that bleed out. I don't know exactly what condition he was in when Glenn fled the scene, but I mean, he took a razor and cut this man up very, very badly. And the community's concerns about Glenn, as said, were not new. He was considered to be a troubled young man. He had alarming behavior from my understanding a couple years prior to this attack that he committed on this Jimmy Britton on Friday the 13th and 1990. A couple years before this, Glenn Milner had climbed up to the top of the town's water tower and he was up there very vocally and publicly threatening to jump from the water tower

9:50this after a breakup with his girlfriend at the time. And police, of course, respond to that scene then and they were able to talk the teenager down before he would, you know, so he didn't jump, obviously, but they talk him down. And not long after that, it's like another suicide attempt. He drove his car off of a cliff and Palodoro at the Palodoro Canyon. And he survived this as well. Following these incidents, he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Right. You know, they believe that he got better and he was then in turn released and sure he did. Well, a lot of experts actually think now looking back and reflecting on this. The Glenn Milner was probably smart enough to figure out what answers he should be giving them rather than how he truly felt or if he was, if the treatment took, right, if

10:57the, if he was actually feeling better or doing better. But for whatever reason, he was, we can't jump into his mind and know for certain, but he was able to convince them that he should be released. And so he returns to life back to normal and goes back to school and resumes all of the normal teenager activities until leading up to this attack where we will later learn that folks very close to him, at least one individual in particular, said that they noticed a change in Glenn leading up to this attack on Jimmy Britain. And thankfully, this, this man, Jimmy was able to survive this horrific attack. Well, there's a lot of problems in general, just with young men and we can speak on this because we both went through it. You have a lot of testosterone pumping through you got your hormones are going wild. You're not fully formed, your brain's not fully formed.

11:58You have a lack of emotional maturity and the late teens early 20s. This could be also on set like schizophrenia normally doesn't start showing signs until 18s early 20s, but this is attempted murder and why did they didn't see it that way? I don't understand. I mean, these injuries now, I've seen different reports, but a lot of them say that because of these, this, I mean, you're cutting a dude with a razor blade, 200, some stitches. That's a lot of stitches, my friend. Oh, yeah, I believe they fully thought that this was attempted murder. As I said, I think everyone who experienced this, who witnessed Jimmy, who were there to help Jimmy and save him, believe that the youngster thought he had killed him before leaving the area. And so now they have the situation where we have a young man on the loose.

13:00We know who the suspect is. Thankfully, our witness was able to speak and tell us who attacked him. So the authorities are now looking for Glenn Milner. It's priority number one. The police, they went to Glenn's family's home. His parents claimed that they didn't know where Glenn was. Doing that with the thoughts that his parents had on their son because some people, when they have a teenage son that's losing control or they feel like they're losing control of, they're afraid of that individual. Well, that I don't know, but what I do know is law enforcement said that when we arrived at Glenn's home, first they expected to find the teenager there. When they speak with his parents and they said, well, we don't know where he is. He left the house a while ago. They said in reaction to that, they didn't fully believe the parents. So they insisted on searching the home.

14:03They thought they would find Glenn held up somewhere in that house. So they got pistols drawn and they're going through the home and then when they get to Glenn's bedroom, they said that the room itself was, I believe, one officer referred to it as a chilling window into a disturbed mind. Yeah. This kid, I mean, spoiler alert here, this kid, pure evil, 19 years old, pure evil. So when they go into the room, the walls are painted black. They were thinking they would see like a typical teenager's room, right? Like posters of rock stars or athletes on the walls, but he had posters up, but they weren't rock stars in celebrities. They were grotesque, bloody posters from slasher films. And he had, Glenn had a collection of a dozen or more grotesque mask that were lying about in this room. And most of these were ones that he had created and made himself.

15:07He was actually described as quite talented at making these types of mask. Almost like a fictitious version of Ed Geene, right? Well, and he did contribute to the drama class and the drama club in high school. And there was at least one or two people in that club that thought that Glenn could go on to work in Hollywood and, you know, make things for special effects and make props for slasher films. Yeah, and it's very disturbing, but like you said, it's Friday the 13th. One of these masks looked like a face that had been partially or mostly blown away. And the officers said that the most shocking discovery in this room was a fake, a life like corpse that was lying on the floor, a fake life like corpse that was lying on the floor. And they said that the room looked like a scene out of a horror film.

16:08Again, revealing a warped sense of reality in an unhealthy, violent, dangerous young man. I'm just going to say what everybody's thinking. Was he having sex with this doll? It's corpse like. So this corpse, the thing that looked like a corpse, I have some more descriptions in here later in my notes, I believe, but that from my understanding is he would use this to act out what would be scenes in a slasher film, like a fictitious slasher film. This was something that he would stab it to see how it would react and create fake blood. There's also one of his friends who had said that he used it one time to put a prop gun in its mouth and then used an explosive to blow out the back of its head. Wow. Yes, yeah. Of course, the officers don't know this when they're going through the room,

17:10but they see the one officer said when we first saw it, we thought it was a body. And they didn't know if it would be Glenn's body. Maybe the teenager committed suicide or maybe it was a victim. They had to approach it and it was once they got close enough, they realized that oh, this is a fake, but a very life-like looking corpse lying on the floor. But so they don't find how the room smelled. Was there a smell? I don't know if there was a smell. Well, I'm just saying like, you know, like when you're a teenager and you have a new body and they visit your house and so that's your domain, right? Your room and especially during the 90s, it's been a lot of time in your room and you would decorate it and it wasn't just for your amusement as for when people came over. Hey, check out my room. I got a TV in here or I got these posters up or it's kind of,

18:16I got a life-like corpse lying on the floor. Yeah, but it's like a vision board of your life, right? It's a representation of all the things you are or all the things you think you are at the time. So it's a very sacred place and we've all been there where we go into our buddy's room and it's awesome and it's so cool and oh, he has a guitar in the corner and oh, he has all this cool stuff, right? And then we've also gone into our teenage, especially boys hanging out with other boys, you go to your buddy's house and his house is really cool and clean and then you go into his room and it's a disaster and it stinks and it smells like gym shoes and it smells like a gym locker, but smells like a teenage boy, right? And you're like, this is a funky smell in here. I can't even describe it. It smells like some kind of weird mushroom grown in the corner,

19:16but like you said, here's this smart guy, maybe not applying himself in the correct ways, but he also shows some talent as an artist. So as a parent, there's that fine line of like trying to nurture your child, try to give him space to be creative because look, there's a lot of individuals that end up making a lot of money and having very successful careers doing stuff that some people could look at as morbid or macabre or whatever, right? Just like if somebody went into your room and you're late teens and they see a bunch of books on serial killers, they might go, wow, next kind of crazy. And then while you do a hit true crime podcast and it makes all the sense in the world now, right? So I think that's a very difficult situation for not only his parents to be in, but friends and teachers and whoever to figure out. Is this a morbid obsession that's

20:21going to lead to, like you said, evil or is this a creative individual that I just don't fully understand? Yeah. Well, what they're learning right here in this moment is that he was, he creatively attacked and attempted to kill Jimmy Britton. Right. Now the worst thing that they find in this bedroom isn't the life set. No, no, we got a lot to get to here. So they find a handwritten list. And of course, because it's in his room, they believe that it was written by Glenn Milner, this is described as a hit list. And Jimmy Britton's name was at the top of the list. So this list contained names of high school students and adults. One member of law enforcement described it as a chilling blueprint for a spree of violence. So they're, they're looking at this list and they now fully understand what they're dealing with. This kid has attacked and attempted to kill

21:26Jimmy Britton. At some point, he's going to move on to number two. And it might be tonight. So we better find him as quickly as we can. And while we're looking for him, we need to send some of our cars to the homes of these people that are on this list. Do welfare checks on these people because if Glenn Milner's on his way to get to number two or number three or number four on that list, we better intercept him before he can do more damage before he can cut another person up. Yeah, but just to get a visual of what Glenn Milner looks like, he's not a ugly dude. He's a handsome guy. I mean, he has a goofy mallet, but it is 1990. And but there also is some images of him where it's like, here's one image where he looks like a attractive young man. And here's another image where you go, what's wrong with his eyes? Like there, there doesn't seem like there's

22:34anything good going on behind them. No, and it's always the eyes, isn't it? So now they have police have uncovered this. What appears to be a sinister plan to take a bunch of people out. And now it's a race to find Glenn and a desperate attempt to prevent him from marking any more names off of his list. All right, we are back. Cheers mates. Talk hands in the air. Cheers to the people in the back.

23:35That same night on Friday the 13th, 17 year old Frankie Garcia described as a sweet natured kid about ready to start his senior year in high school. He had gone with a friend to an old abandoned barn out in the country. This is a place that the locals eerily called the haunted house. It was a dark, empty structure with no electricity. Unbeknownst to Frankie, he was walking into this barn with a killer. Frankie was about to become a pawn in Glenn Milner's deadly game. Witnesses who found the victim's body say that Frankie Garcia apparently was forced to kneel in the dirt and taste the barrel of a high powered rifle as his killer pulled the trigger. Later, we would see video of Glenn Milner himself talking about his hit list and his plans. And in that video, Captain, he says,

24:36quote, I have a desire to kill. I know it's I know what's wrong. I have no problem distinguishing between right and wrong. I just don't care. It's it's that that I just don't care. This makes you wonder if there was some kind of psychotic break. You think? Or if it was just born bad? Who knows? I mean, this this one's a difficult one to to sort out here. Officers learn from Glenn's parents that he was close friends with this young man named Craig Shackleford. So they're going to go talk to Craig when they arrive at Craig's house. They find him visibly nervous. And on edge, he tells police that Glenn was not the same. And that the last time they spoke that his voice even sounded different. He said that it was like something inside of him had snapped. Right. That's what I say. The psychotic break. And I mean, again, I don't some people don't believe in this. But you start looking up stuff on weedy boards and these rituals and all this stuff. And I think there

25:44is it possible that it's some psychotic breakers? Is it possible that he was messing around with some stuff that is beyond our realm of understanding? Or all of the above, right? Because when you say psychotic break, I'm not disagreeing with you. What I think we're seeing here is a severely fractured splintered mind and psyche. I mean, you could say he had a psychotic break prior to going out and cutting up Jimmy Britain. Or you could say that he had a psychotic break before he stood at the top of a water tower threatening to jump. Or while he was behind the wheel driving off a cliff. Well, and that's odd too, right? Because again, one of the toughest times for individuals is those late teens early 20s. And that's whether you're your male or female, right? And so we all have had friends that have in dark times had suicidal thoughts. Most of the time, that's something that

26:44is acted out privately. And it seems like his attempts were acted out publicly, which is not the normal, right? When they're talking to Craig, he tells law enforcement that he has a handwritten note from Glenn, yeah, with instructions. It's basically a list of instructions that says something to the effect of don't ask questions, just do as instructed. The note directed Craig to a railroad trestle on the on a dirt county road, about four miles northwest of Panhandle telling him to look for a box and then follow the instructions that he would find inside that box. What's in the box? So the officers, they're going to take these instructions. They're going to make their way out to this remote spooky location. Tucked underneath the bridge, they found a green ammunition box. Of course, opening it is going to be risky. They worried that it could be a bomb, could be some type of booby trap. They have no idea what to expect with this box. But because time

27:52is so important and locating Glenn is so important and making sure that you can keep, I mean, this is a long hit list that this kid has. And so they're like, effent, we kind of have to open this box. We can't wait for to call the bomb squad. And again, 1990. So one of the brave fellas here has to to open up the box here. And thank God it didn't explode inside. They find three handwritten letters and a cassette tape. So just put yourself in the shoes of the police officer. You're going over to the friend of this maniac, this guy that just slashed up his ex-girlfriends stepfather. I mean, you don't know this at the time, but 200 stitches. That's insane. And he has a no of these cryptic, weird instructions. I mean, there'd be a part of me that would go, hey, can we stop off

28:53at the donor shop real quick and get a coffee and a couple French curlers before I have to go open and figure out what's in this box? These letters that they find inside here, Captain. We have one was addressed to his friend Craig, one addressed to Glenn's parents, another that was addressed to a young woman named Kenja. So she is an intern at an Amarello TV station. She had actually graduated from these kids high school in 1988. And she did date Glenn for a few months, one summer. She says she remembered him as a funny kind and fun person. And she said that he used to call her princess, but they broke up, you know, first of all, their teenagers. Second of all, they broke up according to one story I saw that he had kissed another girl, but they remained friends. And they would still talk to each other on the phone from time to time.

29:58And of course, she, once she goes off the college, she's dreaming of becoming a news reporter in a major city. Right. So the police contact her. They inform her of this note and a tape, a videotape that Glenn had left for her. The note was an apology for, I guess, for kissing that other girl. They just said it was a apologetic note. But it ended with him saying to her, but on the upside, hey, here's the story of the decade for you, princess. This videotape contained Glenn's recorded confessions and thoughts and rambling monologue that was partly an apology and also mostly a chilling embrace of his own darkness. So you, I mean, you've seen portions of this. And on it, he says, mother, daddy, I'm sorry that I ended up like this. It's not your fault. He spoke of his dark time, his obsession with evil, idolizing serial killers like Ted

31:02Bundy and Jack the Ripper. He mentioned reading Necro, no monicon. I believe is how you say it, a book of satanic rituals. Wow. And a belief that he could become the son of Satan. Now, people that knew him said at some point, he adopted the name Damien, a name synonymous with destruction, death, doom. As he described it on the tape, he says, it fits me more than anything with the dark side of me that a lot of people haven't seen. Interesting. And what you're hearing this young man say in this videotape confession before he's gone out with the attempt to commit these horrific acts, is Glenn Milner pretty much is scripting out his own real life horror movie. He's the going to be the star of his own slasher real life slasher film that he's that he's living out, let's say.

32:02Was this videotape that he made? Was this just a one off or was he filming things often? That I don't know, but this was intended for for people to find after he killed everybody. Is my best guess? Yeah, he gives the instructions to Craig, but this would be found either while he's in the process of executing that hit list or shortly thereafter. And in it, on the confession tape, he is saying that he's going to kill these people and he has nothing to lose. This is something he thinks he will be good at. He's always wanted to be better at everybody than one thing. And he said, this is the one thing that I think I can be really good at. And he explains that after he takes all these people out, he's going to kill himself and he's not afraid to die. Let's also he wants to take as many people with him as he possibly can. It's also interesting too, because sometimes when these people leave these notes behind or we find journals or something, they're blaming the

33:06world. They're blaming the way people treated them, right? I mean, we see this in some of the writings from Columbine and other things where it's like, you know, people picked on me or I like some girls that didn't like me back. But here, Glenn is saying basically the opposite. Like, that didn't matter what my parents were going to do. It didn't matter how other people were going to treat me. I'm evil. And maybe he was evil from the beginning, but it was just now that he was going to just let it go and stop trying to control it. At 2.45 AM, the doorbell rang at the home of another family in town through the people, the man at the door, the homeowner saw something that made his blood run cold. He said he saw yellow eyes when he looked at through the people. So he blinks again, thinking that his mind is playing tricks on him. It's the middle of the night. He then

34:08says that he saw Glenn Milner standing on his front porch. His gut incident feeling was, this is not good. He says to himself right away, I'm not opening this door. Now on the other side of that door, you have Glenn Milner pleading with the man saying, I really need to come inside. I need to go and come inside and talk to you. The man says that he'd notice Glenn's hands were hidden when he was requesting to come inside. He says to him, Glenn, what do you got in your hand down there? He doesn't get an answer to his question. Instead, that answer was in the form of gunshots. The man said that the first bullet, so he glends firing through the door. The man says that the first bullet felt like being hit with a baseball bat in the gut. The second one blew out his leg from underneath him and he collapses to the floor. He says his thoughts, this man is Ken Williams. He says his thoughts turn to his wife, Patty and his children. He was worried that they would not

35:11be safe. He was thinking that Glenn Milner, a young man who he knew and we'll get into that. Ken Williams is the principal of the high school. He thinks that Glenn Milner is there and going to kill them all, kill his whole family. His wife runs into the room and she takes her fingers and pushes them into his wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding. Williams thinks he's going to die. She is able to not only assist her husband, but at the same time call police. Okay, so they get another call over the radio and their reactions like, oh my god, he just did another one. So now they got, you can picture this. We've all, most of us have seen this, especially if you've lived in a larger city, a night where calls are just going out over the police radio over and over again. And you see, you see black and whites sirens on police cars, Chris crossing town.

36:12That's what's going on in Panhandle. We know it's Friday the 13th, but it'd be interesting to know if it was a full moon as well. So they get, they get the call they're looking for or had been waiting on, hoping for anyway. And it's somebody at spotted Glenn Milner's car. It's parked right in front of the Panhandle police department. So we have officers rushing to this scene, which is back to where they came from when they started their night. They're rushing back to the police department to surround Glenn's car. He's sitting in the driver's seat with a barrel of a pistol pressed under his chin. He's perfectly still, you know, later they're going to watch this video cassette. This is the the final act of of this man's night of after these attacks. This young man's got his finger on the trigger. Yeah, and there's probably a part of them. If they know the devastation he already calls is probably a part of the those officers that are going pull the trigger. Yeah, and I can't

37:16remember what Glenn said to police, but he their convince he's going to pull the trigger and he he just puts the gun down, gives him a very blank look. And he said something to them like, I can't, I wish I would have added that to my notes here because he said whatever he said to him was just cold and without emotion. Now later, Glenn will reveal to police the bizarre reason that he did not pull the trigger sitting in his car in front of the police station. He told officers that according to his satanic beliefs, he was required to recite a specific chant before taking his own life. And he said in that final critical moment and having been out running all night, he had forgotten the words to that. And so he was afraid to die without completing what he referred to as the ritual.

38:16Yeah, I'd say hold on a second. I just need to look this up. And so I can hand it to you. Here's your gun back. And here's the ritual. You can finish the job now, but his confession is dark. And then think about it from law enforcement. And you've been in your car all night running and running and running, chasing and hoping to find Glenn and hoping to find people alive and well so you can protect them. And this is like a very exciting, not in a good way, exciting night of terror in just a strange night for Panhandle, Texas. It's an anti-climactic end to that night of terror. Or at least they thought at the time that that was the situation because they arrest the young man. Milner is now in custody. They thought, all right, we can breathe a sigh of relief here.

39:20The immediate danger that we were facing has passed. Yeah. What officer reflecting on the tense events said he felt a profound wave of gratitude that despite all of the chaos that night, everyone was still alive. No lives had been lost. He says it was a fragile piece, a moment to breathe. Well, that moment unfortunately was shattered by the crackle of once again, the police radio. So a call came through to dispatch witness. When he says when this police officer says no lives have been lost, they don't know about Frankie Garcia yet. This is the call that comes in that alerts them that no, they didn't get out no lives lost that night. So a witness had described the location, the police familiar to locals, the haunted house. They were told on the radio that officers needed to get there and get there fast. So again,

40:21this so-called haunted house, it sits on the very edge of town. No one lives there. It's referred to as a relic. It's boarded up, left to the elements and mercy of time. So for a good deal of time, and I found one report that said even for generations, it had been the destination for thrill-seeking teenagers. It's dark. It's the spooky place you go to when you want to scare yourself or maybe you go out there on a dare. Yeah. And as we said, in reality, the haunted house was nothing more than a dilapidated barn. So my understanding there's an abandoned house and behind it, there's an even spookier barn. It's a barn without electricity. Its dark interior was a place where kids would gather to drink beer and escape the watchful eyes of parents and the town folk. Yeah, and when you're out there and you're playing pocket pool, smoking a couple cigarettes, all of a sudden you hear, cuck cuck cuck, cuck cuck cuck, it's a creepy atmosphere. Yeah, a creepy AF.

41:28Responding to the call, the officers, they rush out to the scene, keep in mind the barn, the floor inside, it's not wood, it's not concrete, it's packed dirt. So they encounter a horrific site. Very strange, but also very horrific. Scrawled into the earth was what is reported to be a large, crudely drawn pentagram. And there in the very center of that pentagram was the body of lying face down that there's a body within the circle. It's the motionless form of a teenage boy. Garcia, yeah. There was no sign of a struggle, they say. But they also said this wasn't a random act of violence. It was a cold, deliberate execution. It was a dark ritual. Yeah. As a sacrifice. What they would learn is it was an individual whose name had appeared on the

42:30hit list that they had recovered. And remember, one by one, names were checked off this list. Each person located and accounted for, but one name remained unchecked. And that name was Frankie Garcia. This was the body of Frankie Garcia. And Frankie's parents confirmed the last time that they had seen their son. He was heading out the door with a friend from school. A person they described as a friend from school. They said that friend was Glenn Milner. Yeah, and you already know the devastation that he caused. But it's stuff like this, or the crimes like this, where you go 1990. And this is kind of the start and where it kind of ramps up. And there was this peak of satanic panic. And you're going to tell me that this is not satanic. There are so many cases that we go, well, it's just satanic panic. And they, you know, through some of these teenage under the bus because of it. And they almost make it seem and some of these documentaries or

43:34these books that like there was no reason to have any satanic panic. I think this case itself should give you reason for satanic panic. Oh, yeah. And keep in mind, he went out the door on Friday the 13th to start checking names off of his hit list. He left the list behind. That tells me that that very likely maybe the words to that chant weren't tattooed on his brain. But I believe, you have to believe at least several of the names were committed to memory. Yeah, it's probably a plan that he thought about over and over writes down the plan. Well, I don't need to take the note with me because it's all up here. It's all up here in my satanic brain on that videotape. He says happy Friday the 13th. Of course, local residents were completely shocked when they heard about this self-professed satanist who had confessed to murder. Kenneth Glen Milner, as we said, 19 year old admirer of Charles Manson and Jack the Ripper, he was charged

44:40murder in Garcia. He was also charged with the attempted murders of Kenneth Williams, his former high school principal. We'll circle back to that attempted murder in detail in just a bit. And Milner was also charged with the attempted murder of Jimmy Britton, a former girlfriend stepfather, all that same night. Milner slash Britton's throat and arms with a straight razor just shortly after 1 a.m. July 14th. He might not have been all completely evil though. And I only say that because the report we have here. Well, the report we have here is that when he when he was cutting Jimmy Britton attempting to kill him, the Milner began vomiting during the attack. And it was only because of that. So he approaches the door, knocks on the door. Britton opens up the door. Milner starts cutting him with this razor. And he's he Milner gets weak during this and starts vomiting. And it was only because of that that another member of the family was able to

45:42push Milner back outside and close and shut and lock the door. Yeah, I wonder if he was intoxicated or was using drugs. Chip Brown had a great title for one of the many Texas and associated press news articles about this case. One of his was titled Murder of Youth 17 brings horror films to life in Texas town. And that is brings horror films to life in Texas town is a great way to and short succinct way to describe this. Here's portions of that article here, Captain. The 2300 people who live in this farming town worry that there will be other attacks. Parents closely watched their children keeping them off the dirt roads that crisscross the rolling wheat fields of the region. Quote, there is a fear that there are more Satanist out there said Linda Solis who has four children. She says there are rumors that they are looking for a blonde haired blue

46:46eyed boy to sacrifice. And this is a testament to what you were saying earlier about the rise of Satanic panic. Well, you get that through acts like this through real live true crime stories. It would have reason to cause that specific panic. Yeah, I find this very interesting in the case how he drove out to this large birthday party, this celebration. I'm guessing he learned of this party through school, right? And so then he gets to the party because he wants to rack up his body count. And he felt sick. And there's other eyewitnesses there that said to why he didn't do anything and doing anything evil. He didn't try killing by, but he did get sick. A lot of these cases to me just seem so similar like that statement. I wanted to rack up a body count. You see this with Columbine where it's like, yeah, we're going to go in the school and shoot some of these kids, but we got this bomb that will go off. And that will rack up this body count. You see this. And if

47:51if anybody has watched it or hasn't watched it on Hulu, the screen murders documentary that just came out. It's a three part series. It's definitely worth the watch. But their idea was to commit a screen style killing of one of their friends and maybe kill others. And then in their rampage by going into the school and shooting up the school. And when they said on video camera because they were videotaping themselves. Again, another similarity with this case with Columbine with the screen murders. These individuals videotaping themselves beforehand and afterwards. But when they were talking on videotape for the screen murders, they're like, well, once we go to the school and shoot people up, that racks up our body count. So you just see so many similarities with these satanic, evil, demonic, late teens, early 20s killers.

48:52There are some DAs that I just love. And this is one of them. So Carson County District Attorney David McCoy said that he would be seeking the death penalty. He said Milner gave police a written confession in which he said he wanted to die. David McCoy said, quote, Mr. Milner has indicated a strong desire to die. And I intend to do all I can to see his wishes are accommodated. The court appointed a defense defense attorney for Milner, his name Douglas Woodburn of Amarillo. He said the trial could begin as early as January of 1991. And he says there has been extensive publicity of the case. And Panhandle is a small town so that they would be seeking a change of venue. And we know from covering these cases that that is pretty common a lot of times, especially if you have a case like this where it captures the attention of the news, the media,

49:58and the public. He says that his client, he doesn't know that his client is a satanist. He's going to be saying these things to the papers because he has to defend this kid who it's not it's not about defending him to whether he's guilty or innocent. They know that he's guilty. It's about saving this young man's life, making sure that he doesn't get the the death penalty. Here's a story that I thought was very eerie. Okay. So we talked about the young man who lost his life, Frankie Garcia, just a kid. He's getting ready to start his senior year in high school. And so those who knew, victim Frankie Garcia, the high school students, of course, they also know the murderer Kenneth Glenn Milner. They would tell police and anyone willing to listen. This was talked about that the two were actually not friends. One student had said, this is Ron Doddy.

50:59It said, quote, Frankie really got on Glenn's nerves. Frankie tried really hard to be everyone's friend. So when Glenn Milner invited Frankie Garcia to go out on the town with him on that Friday, the 13th, Frankie Garcia told Craig Shackleford that he was skeptical and he says Glenn doesn't even like me, does he? And so this is a telephone conversation that Shackleford had a couple of hours before with Garcia before Garcia was killed. Garcia tells Shackleford about Glenn. He's like, he just wants to take me out and pull a prank on me, scare the hell out of me, doesn't he? And it was Frankie's kind nature like like the other students said at the high school, Frankie tried really hard just to be everybody's friend. And that's why he probably went out with Glenn that night, not knowing that Glenn had intentions of killing him at the haunted house. Yeah, he probably got out to that haunted house and just thought this is all a prank. This is all a ruse. But if somebody's not making you feel safe or somebody's being mean to you,

52:06are you just feel bad for this kid? Because he felt like he had to be polite. It felt like he had to be friendly. Even when everything was telling him, don't and you should never apologize for going, Hey, this person makes me feel off. This person makes me feel threatened in some way. You don't have to be nice or polite to that person. In January of 1991, Kenneth Glenn Milner pled guilty to two counts of attempted murder in one count of murder. He was sentenced to three life sentences. He has been up for parole in the past. Thankfully, that parole has been denied. Kenneth Glenn Milner, the Friday the 13th killer, will visit with the parole board once again in 23rd one of the thank everybody for joining us here in the garage each and over

53:13week. Thanks for telling your mother. Thanks for telling your brother a couple days away from Friday the 13th. So happy Friday.
