The Long Man, Sir Douglas Mawson, and his improbable survival story through a widely uncharted territory in the early 20th century. Antarctica. A mysterious, unruly, frozen goatee on the chin of the planet. An area we dared not comb through until the face of the earth was sufficiently covered.

Nineteen year old Brian Cohee JR, went for a cruise late one Saturday night in February of 2021. He wore coveralls, three pairs of gloves, and had a Michael Myers mask and large kitchen knife at the ready. When he found what seemed to be the perfect victim in sixty nine year old Warren Barnes - a homeless man well known in Grand Junction, Colorado - Cohee struck without mercy. The rest is a mess. Some of which his mother would discover in her strange son’s closet.

This episode is about domestic violence. It is pretty heavy, and I said i'd not release it. But I am because I was told it might help. Thank you!
