the jurogan experience you know here's another thing uh because it's quite along the same line because and i hope i don't get emotional on this one but so you know when i was uh 15 i'd won a state championship and uh uh my first state championship in wrestling first year as a high school sophomore because that high school started then and i uh anyway long story short this neighbor kid ended up murdering my sister and uh he had walked to school with me a couple weeks before that and said something to me who i sh if i would have communicated it might have saved her life you know just because she probably would have never let the guy into the her house what did he say he just said like boy you got a hot sister you know and he was kind of my age one year older than me but my sister was four years older than me so he was probably 16 and she was 19. and and she had a boyfriend and she was living at home yet and and uh so so the funny thing is is i didn't i actually was going to come home and say something to her but when i got home i got distracted and i said it's just boy talk you know it's this boy talking it was mostly about he he just thought my sister was really hot and that he would like to do something with her you know but he never really said it outright i mean i just figured something you know the boy boys would like to do you know but anyway so you know that two weeks later we're on a fishing trip with my mom and dad and my sister's supposed to join us and she doesn't show up because she works for my dad after uh she went to college for a year and then she worked for my dad uh after that as a secretary in the real estate business so uh she didn't show up so we called the neighbor and back in those days she didn't have cell phones so we had a
we had a phone uh that was outside a cabin that we rented you know you know you know i can date you because the date at the cabin we rented for four bucks a night so you know it's just unheard of and that was you know would have you know been uh 1964. so so we were at a pay phone about a half a block from from the cabin that we were renting and we rolled the window down and you put the dime dimer nickel in the phone and you call my dad called the uh i was in the front back seat my mom and dad were in the front my dad was driving and he called the neighbor and asked if um my sister's car was still in the driveway and he said yes so and she was supposed to be with us 90 miles away that morning and she didn't show up so so my dad and my mom get really nervous and i tell they tell them to go get break into that house if you you know if there's nobody you know you can't get in break into it or she doesn't answer the door but you know get into that house and call us back so it's you can see the tension in the front seat of the car you know i can see my mom and dad worrying the phone rings finally at about 15 minutes later and all of a sudden the uh my dad drops the phone and and my my mom was going she was kind of going starting to go hysterical know what was wrong and and he looked over and i'll never forget this you know being a 15 year old kid and i looked at my dad said to her diane's not alive and oh my god you know it's just my mom opened the door of the car she took off running back to the block to the cabin i got out and ran after him when i when i followed her into the cabin by that time she was already on the floor and she had grabbed her hair and she was pulling her head hitting the wooden floor and she looked up and she had blood all over her forehead and so my dad then followed in and we packed up real quick
like what 10 minutes we left half the stuff then we took off from my hometown about 90 miles away but within 15 min within a half hour of that phone call i was in the back seat and there was a lot of trauma going on in that front seat and i said to my dad dad i may know something about this i don't know for sure but i may and you know he overreacted he slammed the car the brakes on the car got out of the car came around opened the door pulled me out slammed me against the door what do you mean you may know something about it and then i told him the story about the two weeks before that me walking to school with a neighbor kid and that what he had said and he just hugged me and threw me back in the car and we stopped at the next town which is about 15 miles later and went into the police station and we told the police what had happened as far as uh sister daughter getting murdered the night before and we were on our way there but but this my kid told me a story and i think if you could help me as soon as possible so they called ahead to the waterloo police department the waterloo police located he was at work sacking groceries the next day in a grocery store and so they and he'd actually admitted right there that he did it you know after they they they got him but the thing is what's amazing is this guy and then he escaped from prison after about 20 he was only 16 he went got life in penitentiary you know and uh and uh he escaped and that pretty much doomed him ever getting out and uh then because he was out for a month before they they caught him and he actually in the trial he was so mad about getting sentenced to life in prison that he pointed to the gable family and on the way out and he said he was going to kill us all and so anyway this guy goes to prison
and he lives and he dies in prison after he broke out he never really got a chance to ever let him out but here's the thing so it's just about i don't know say it seven eight years ago when he passed away but we got another cabin now it's about 30 miles north of the cabin that was we were in that time and that was a rental cabin that's torn down now and we go right by that place so we're going right by that place actually i'd been me and my wife had been at our cabin that my mom and dad owned and they i inherited when they passed on but we were at that kansas uh cabin and we were coming home and we were going right by the spot where that pay phone was and where we had learned about her death and there's a cell phone call it's the warden of the prison he's in i think it was um indiana he was in indiana the prison and the warden told me that the guy that murdered your sister just died the exact same spot where i learned of the murder i was driving by and it's 130 it's about 115 miles from wells actually a lot further than that so it's like spooky it's like real spooky and then what what's really amazing is what he said to me the warden he said before he died he was seeing a counselor and the counselor told me this that he said you know i really he repented he said i really shouldn't have i feel bad about killing diane gable i mean this is years later but that he had told and he had been rehabbed somewhat and he goes and the reason why he said i knew i was going to kill somebody but he said because she was such a nice girl you know oh my god he said he knew he was going to kill somebody he said he knew he was going to kill somebody just it was just who he was yeah and they told me that and and you know i cried for an hour and it got a lot out of me but
you know as bad as my dad felt my mom felt and you know i felt probably it kind of got rid of a lot of hatred when they when he told me that that he admitted that she was such a nice girl that he shouldn't have done it and it was you know probably not too full for he probably did it on his deathbed or something but he probably had all this guilt but but you know it helped me too and it helped me because even though i i cried for an hour and i i think that stuff you build up inside you sometimes you just you don't know what it's going to take to get it get it out of you and i think that really helped me with my situation because you always feel a little guilty because of maybe you could have saved your life but but more than that it's been something that i based my whole life on too just communication i mean this is your business communication i mean there's and sometimes my wife tells me i'm telling her too much you know you don't need to tell me you know we don't need to talk about this i said yeah i do i do you know i need to talk about it's not just that it's just anything that there's crops up i need to go home and i need to have a conversation with somebody that i that i i like and love and um to be able to see whether i'm doing the right thing or i'm not doing the right thing catch new episodes of the joe rogan experience for free only on spotify watch back catalog jre videos on spotify including clips easily seamlessly switch between video and audio experience on spotify you can listen to the jre in the background by using other apps and can download episodes to save on data cost all for free spotify is absolutely free you don't have to have a premium account to watch new jre episodes you just need to search for the jre on your spotify app go to spotify now to get this full episode of the joe rogan experience
