Episode Transcript
I'm Carol Fisher, and I'm hosting a podcast called The Girlfriends,
a show about a group of women who all have
one thing in common.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
All of us have this scarlet letter of I dated
a murderer.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah. Back in the nineteen nineties in Las Vegas, a
few of us dated the same guy, Bob. He was
amazing on paper, a doctor, a pilot.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
He spoke several languages, he did medical missionary work, and
he was Jewish, and it was just how much better
could it get?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
After we took our turns dating Bob, we did what
girlfriends do. We debriefed, but it quickly became a parent
that I knew something my friends did not.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
She said, Oh, you obviously don't know about the skeletons
in his closet, And I go, what skeletons in the closet?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Bob had a big secret. His first wife, Gail, apparently
walked out of their apartment in nineteen eighty five and
was never seen again.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's like there was just something always off.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Before too long, we had formed a club dedicated to
bitching about Bob eating noodles and figuring out what happened
to Gail. It was all just gossip. Until the prosecutors
came knocking and our little club became part of a
multi state investigation.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
There's nobody, no forensics, no admissions, an extremely difficult, circumstantial
case based in large parts on things that the defendant
had said to his girlfriends.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Nearly thirty years later, I'm going back to talk to
all those girlfriends to find out everything Bob did and
how he got away with it.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
He dated the entire Jewish professional community.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Run Run girlfriend run.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
She told me that he was mad and he tried
to drown the cat.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I thought to myself, I'm lucky to be alive, and
then I kept thinking who else did he hurt.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
I would call him and I would say, I know
you killed my sister. I will always hound you and
haunt you.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
You can listen to the girlfriends on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
