That's a Bad Sign

Strip-search hoax at Kentucky McDonald's and the attempted murder of Mary Jo Buttafuoco


Listen Later

When a prank caller claiming to be a police officer called the Mount Washington, Kentucky McDonalds, the staff immediately took the call seriously. But before long, 18-year-old Louise Ogborn was sexually assaulted in the back office for two and a half hours while her fellow employees and managers watched. How could a simple phonecall lead to something so terrible? Then we dive into the case of the Long Island Lolita. Nearly three decades ago, then 17-year-old Amy Fisher—dubbed “Long Island Lolita” by the media —shot Mary Jo Buttafuoco on her front porch following an affair with her husband, Joey Buttafuoco.
