It’s unknown how many victims he had but is suspected to be several dozen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Deklan tells us about the conman Steven J Russell. He had a pattern of getting convicted for crimes and then escaping jail. Through his many fraud cases and escapes he ended up with a long sentence of 144 years in jail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We also drink the Fall From the Tree cocktail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to contact us, find us on:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email: &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:thebrutalandbizarre@gmail.com"&gt;thebrutalandbizarre@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instagram: &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/brutal_bizarre_boozy/"&gt;https://www.instagram.com/brutal_bizarre_boozy/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook fan group:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbbfans"&gt;https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbbfans&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Patreon:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/brutalbizarreandboozy"&gt;https://www.patreon.com/brutalbizarreandboozy&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podmoth Network:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://podmoth.network/"&gt;https://podmoth.network/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sources:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wikipedia, Wink News, Boca Magazine, Buzzfeed, My Bartender, &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_John_Schaefer"&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_John_Schaefer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.winknews.com/2021/10/31/the-devil-tree-in-south-florida-possibly-linked-to-one-of-floridas-first-serial-killers/"&gt;https://www.winknews.com/2021/10/31/the-devil-tree-in-south-florida-possibly-linked-to-one-of-floridas-first-serial-killers/&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bocamag.com/paranormal-historian-mark-muncy-talks-the-devils-tree/"&gt;https://bocamag.com/paranormal-historian-mark-muncy-talks-the-devils-tree/&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/jeremyhayes1/devils-tree-urban-legend-true-crime"&gt;https://www.buzzfeed.com/jeremyhayes1/devils-tree-urban-legend-true-crime&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://mybartender.com/recipe/fall-from-the-tree/"&gt;https://mybartender.com/recipe/fall-from-the-tree/&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/HZS1iOcOiUc"&gt;https://youtu.be/HZS1iOcOiUc&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Promo:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Macab at Midnight&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5BW80L5GY1rqEB7UpKdAsb"&gt;https://open.spotify.com/show/5BW80L5GY1rqEB7UpKdAsb&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let’s Talk About…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4f1V6Oh96XVzdLDGlPSKIO?si=BT6NXZVOQ2CWJjL1fajtcg"&gt;https://open.spotify.com/show/4f1V6Oh96XVzdLDGlPSKIO?si=BT6NXZVOQ2CWJjL1fajtcg&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description>
