It’s the third and final chapter in the Jerry Brudos saga, and honestly… we’re tired, emotionally damaged, and still fighting the equipment.

The episode kicks off with the obligatory Mischa ASMR, because she simply must lick the microphone directly, followed immediately by yet another round of technical difficulties. You’d think by week 22 we’d have this figured out—but absolutely not. Consistency is a myth. Stability is fake. We persevere anyway.

Once we finally get our shit together, we dive headfirst into the confession—where Brudos decides to talk, but only just enough to make everything worse. We break down what he admits to, what he doesn’t, and how his version of events somehow still centers himself as the victim (because of course it does).

From there, we cover sentencing, including the courtroom reactions, the psychological evaluations, and why life imprisonment was the only possible outcome for a man who collected trophies like it was a hobby. We also discuss his appeals, the absolute audacity behind them, and how the justice system handled a man who clearly never felt an ounce of remorse.

Finally, we close out the story with Jerry Brudos’ death—what his final years looked like, how he was viewed by the public and law enforcement, and the deeply unsatisfying reality that monsters don’t get poetic endings. There’s no redemption arc here. Just consequences.

As always, we spiral a little, side-eye a lot, and remind everyone why this case is remembered as one of the most disturbing in true crime history. This episode is dark, heavy, and occasionally derailed by pets, tech failures, and our inability to be serious for more than five minutes.

Thanks for sticking with us through all three parts. We promise the next episode will be lighter.
