Harmless Joe. How did the best US boy scout, who visited the Queen, turn into a legendary cruel maniac? Monstrous crimes usually become the main achievement and climax of their lives. They come up with noble excuses for their atrocities and blame the victims for what happened. The more interesting is the story of John Edward Robinson, who did not become a murderer immediately, and the reason for his reprisals against women was not the voices in his head at all. Lenta.ru tells the story of the first Internet killer.

All the King’s Men

In 1957, Queen Elizabeth II hosted a delegation of America’s finest Boy Scouts. Commanded a detachment of 120 young Pathfinders at a performance at the London Palladium Theatre, 13-year-old John Edward Robinson. The Illinois boy was so good at orienteering that he earned the movement’s highest rank, the Eagle Scout badge.

According to the newspapers at the time, John was chosen as the leader of the American Scouts in Europe for “academic achievements, great scouting experience, composure and a charming smile.” Behind the scenes of the Palladium, the teenager was seen by the famous film actress Judy Garland. She kissed him on the cheek, which was trumpeted by all the newspapers in Chicago.

John Edward Robinson was born on December 27, 1943. The boy’s father, Henry, worked at a power plant and drank heavily. Mother, Alberta, tried to replace the five offspring of the unlucky father in matters of strict education

It was Alberta who turned John into a national star. The family lived modestly, and drunken Henry was a constant reason for neighborly ridicule, so the mission of maintaining the reputation of the Robinsons fell on little John.

However, his success did not go further. The younger Robinson was expelled from the Catholic school for poor progress, and from the college where the young man learned to service X-ray machines, he left himself after studying for two years.

Robinson later appeared in Kansas City, Missouri. There he married Nancy Jo Lynch and led a quite decent life until the second half of the 60s. John even worked for several years as a laboratory assistant and secretary of the famous Dr. Wallace Grant, the former personal physician of President Harry Truman.

“I’m OK”

A handsome forty-year-old man named John Edward Robinson personally picked her up to take her to the airport and chatted nicely with her parents while 19-year-old Paula was finishing the training camp. The man was the head of a large charitable organization, and he liked the resume of a girl – an excellent athlete who had just graduated from school.

The parents did not worry at all. Their daughter, however, received not some anonymous invitation – everything was honest and open. Yes, and this smartly dressed, witty good man cannot be a villain. He really radiated the benevolence, confidence and calmness of a wealthy man.

There was no news from the girl for several days. Parents could not find a place for themselves and filed a missing person’s report. A few days later, the police received a letter in which Paula said that “everything was OK” with her, that she had begun a new life and did not want to communicate with her parents. True, the message was typed on a typewriter, but under it was the real signature of Paula Godfrey

Investigators contacted John Edward Robinson, but he said he put the girl on a plane to Texas and hasn’t heard from her since. The police did not find any reason to doubt the letter or the words of Robinson and did not launch an investigation. Paula Godfrey has been missing since September 1, 1984.

A Real Gentleman

In January 1985, John Robinson told Brother Don the amazing news. Don and his wife wanted to adopt a child for a long time, but could not do it for some bureaucratic reasons. At a family party in Chicago, John revealed that he had contacts in Kansas City who could arrange everything.

The story is utterly tragic – the child’s father left his young mother, and she committed suicide out of despair, and the baby was left alone. Don and Helen flew to Kansas City, signed the paperwork, paid $5,500 in “legal fees,” after which John drove them to his home, where his wife, Nancy, nursed the tiny orphan.

On the occasion of such a wonderful event, the extended Robinson family arranged a nice family evening, and the happy parents were eternally grateful to John. Everyone knew that although he had a history of trouble with the law, his kindness and honor as a scout did not go anywhere

The body of 19-year-old Lisa Stazi, the girl’s mother, was never found. Their relationship was established only in 2000 thanks to a DNA examination.

In 1987, 27-year-old Katherine Clampit disappeared without a trace. She took a job at Robinson’s company. A respectable businessman from Kansas City promised her a lot of travel and fashionable clothes at the expense of the firm.

With special cynicism

20 years before, on June 19At age 67, Dr. Grant accused his lab assistant and secretary of stealing $33,000 through forged checks and manipulating clinic deposits. The jury found Robinson guilty, but he got off with a suspended sentence.

And then began an endless string of crimes related to fraud and theft. Until 1987, John got a job in one company or another and immediately began to build schemes to pump money out of organizations or simply drag everything that was not nailed to the floor. He also organized his own firms, which were convicted of fraud with the deposits of citizens and forgery of checks.

He had a long career as a con artist. He stole a large shipment of postage stamps from an employer, stole a large sum of money from a crisp company in Liberty. If there was the slightest opportunity to deceive someone, John Robinson immediately saw it

Mark Morris, a former reporter for The Kansas City Star newspaper

Robinson’s criminal activities attracted police officers, but most often everything was limited to fines or suspended sentences. In the mid-80s, the criminal began to show a craving for sadomasochistic sexual pleasures, and he himself made acquaintances in the criminal environment of Kansas City and became a pimp who provided prostitutes to clients with similar inclinations.

At the same time, John was known to Kansas City neighbors as a successful businessman and activist who helped establish a Presbyterian church in the area. His wife and four children were also loved by everyone.

In a word, he did not give the impression of a gloomy recluse hatching some sinister plans. John explained all his troubles with the law by misunderstandings and intrigues of competitors. And they believed him

Moreover, apparently, Robinson managed to hide his secret criminal life from his family. At least, after his arrest in June 2000, none of the family could give clear evidence. They were quite sincerely surprised by the accusations against their father, husband and brother.

One-on-one with the killer

All this time, Robinson surprisingly managed to avoid serious persecution, although this is more likely due to the connivance of the police, courts and supervisory authorities, who for some reason turned a blind eye to the antics of a professional fraudster. In cases that threatened Robinson with large sentences, he received suspended sentences or was released on bail after a couple of months in prison.

The only person who truly saw John as dangerous was Missouri District Inspector Stephen Hames. It was he who first guessed to connect the disappearances of Paula Godfrey, Lisa Stazi and Katherine Clampit with the identity of Robinson.

I think he’s a scammer out of control. He leaves behind too many unanswered questions and people missing.

Stephen Hames letters to a colleague, 1991

Hames had several one-on-one conversations with John, trying to get some information out of him or catch the criminal in contradictions , but Robinson repeated all the stories about unscrupulous competitors and girls who cheated on him and disappeared. During one of the meetings, Robinson almost burst into tears in the inspector’s office, complaining about his bad luck.

For a while, Hames was assisted by FBI agents, but it was not possible to convict the maniac of the murders directly, and in 1987 he was nevertheless imprisoned for seven years for numerous frauds. But the prison could not re-educate John Robinson. Already in custody, he began to plan new crimes.

Internet maniac

At the Missouri Correctional Institution, he met his next victim. Robinson charmed 49-year-old prison librarian Beverly Bonner. John promised her that after his release he would give her a decent job. Robinson was released from prison at 1993rd. In the same year, Bonner divorced her husband, went to Kansas for a fraudster and immediately disappeared.

Robinson arranged the case in such a way that the woman’s alimony was transferred to a certain address in Kansas, and for several more years Bonner’s mother sent money to another state. John cashed them out

While the fraudulent murderer was in prison, dramatic changes took place in the world outside, the main of which was the emergence of the Internet. Robinson, under the nickname Slavemaster, began to surf the net. Most of all he was interested in BDSM forums. The first victims of a maniac in the digital age were 45-year-old Sheila Faith from California and her 15-year-old daughter Debbie, who was confined to a wheelchair from birth.

In 1994, Robinson, having convinced the girl’s mother that he was a big businessman and philanthropist, invited her to move to Kansas City, promising her a solution to all problems.

He promised her mountains of gold. He said that they would go on a trip, that he would take care of his daughter, and that she would never have to work again, because money was not a problem

Sheila’s friend Faitez interview with The Kansas City Star

Sheila agreed. She and her daughter disappeared as soon as they arrived in Kansas, and Robinson received child support for a few more years.

In 1999, 21-year-old Polish migrant Isabella Lewicka agreed to become the BDSM slave of a wealthy Kansas City businessman. She signed a bonded contract that gave Robinson power over all aspects of her life, including finances.

Moreover, John allegedly planned to marry her, and they even paid for the marriage, although they never showed up for the ceremony. Levitska soon disappeared. To a web designer friend who worked for him, Robinson announced that the woman had been deported after being caught in possession of drugs.

At the same time, nurse Suzette Trauten arrived in Kansas from the maniac’s native Michigan and immediately disappeared. In an online correspondence, she agreed to become Robinson’s sex slave and accompany him on his travels around the world.

Trauten’s mother received several letters from her daughter, ostensibly from abroad, although the envelopes were postmarked by the Kansas City Post Office. These letters were printed on the printer, but the signature really belonged to Suzette. When the woman’s mother asked Robinson where her daughter had gone, he replied that she had run away from him with her lover, stealing a large sum.

In 15 years, eight women became victims of a maniac-fraudster and former best boy scout in the USA. At least, these are only those unfortunates whose disappearance was linked to Robinson’s personality. By the end of 1999, the police were increasingly paying attention to John in connection with the disappearance of women.

Postponed death

However, he was caught for a completely stupid reason, but directly related to his BDSM hobbies. Two women wrote statements against John. One accused him of sexual assault, and the second accused him of stealing her sex toys. The police came to Robinson’s farm in Kansas.

The charge of theft gave the police the right to search the property. It was then that the most terrible thing was revealed. Operatives found two barrels in which the bodies of Lewicki and Trauten were decomposing. At the same time, investigators in Illinois showed up with a warrant for two garages Robinson had rented. Three more barrels containing the bodies of Bonner, Faith, and her daughter Debbie were found there. All of the victims were killed by blunt force blows to the head. Most likely, the maniac’s tool was a hammer.

Litigation lasted for more than ten years. The court systems of Missouri and Kansas issued different sentences, overturning some and imposing others. John Edward Robinson, 78, is currently on death row at Eldorado Prison in Kansas.

He didn’t look like a dangerous person. Rather, he resembled a well-mannered, neat grandfather. He looked as if he could, for example, work in a pharmacy

Secret passion

The bodies of the first three victims of the maniac have never been found. He refuses to cooperate with the investigation. And not least because the absence of the bodies of the dead allows him to play with the investigation or give out information bit by bit, thereby delaying the investigation.

It is difficult to say at what point Robinson turned from a swindler into a cold-blooded killer. However, it is also impossible to consider him exclusively as a murderous maniac, because he used many of the victims to generate income. On what basis he chose those women whom he would take their lives remains a mystery.

The mercifulness with which the police and the courts treated Robinson from the very beginning raises many questions. Was it the usual sloppiness, or did the killer manage to interest the servants of justice with something?

The fact remains that the only people who really tried to put the maniac behind bars in the early days of his bloody career were the humble Inspector Stephen Hames and a couple of FBI agents. If they had been heeded, the lives of four women and a teenage girl could have been saved.

I would say that John Robinson is one of the most dangerous criminals I have ever dealt with

John Edward Robinson remains one of the most enigmatic serial killers in history. Not only law enforcement agencies do not know his secrets, but even the closest relatives, for whom he has always been, albeit somewhat unlucky, but a loving and close person.

“Love and Death”: a real-life murder story with a woman’s face

HBO Max streamed a mini-series “Love and Death”, based on a horror story that took place in Texas in the early 1980s: mother and exemplary Christian Candy Montgomery hacked her neighbor Betty Gore with an ax in cold blood. Film critic Olya Smolina tells whether the creators of the Big Little Lie series managed to excite the viewer this time0152

In the 1980s, in a quiet American town in Texas, housewife Betty Gore (Lily Rabe) is killed by 41 blows from an axe. Suspicion falls on her friend Candy Montgomery (Elizabeth Olsen), who was the last to see the deceased. Later it turns out that Candy, who lived next door, had a motive, but she denies any involvement in what happened. Whether she will go free is for the jury to decide.

From the first shots, Candy Montgomery’s life resembles a housewife’s dream come true: the house is a full bowl, amazingly obedient children, her husband is an exemplary family man with the best baritone in the church choir. It would seem, what else can you dream of. But the suffocatingly beautiful well-being of one-story America turns into a quiet nightmare, slowly but systematically destroying everyone. In particular, this affected women, who diligently maintain comfort inside the golden cage created by the patriarchy.

Love and Death showrunner David E. Kelly, familiar to audiences from the critically acclaimed Big Little Lies and Playing Back, reduces the cause of the incident to a classic existential crisis. According to him, the reason for the breakdown of housewife Candy Montgomery was a well-fed and measured life. And the equivalent of an antidepressant – the main drug of American housewives of the last century – an affair on the side, at first glance, with an absolutely unremarkable neighbor Alan Gore (Jesse Plemons), who lives under the heavy heel of his wife Betty (Lily Rabe).

It is Alan who becomes Helen of Troy in this story, a priceless treasure for whose heart and attention two women are fighting. And both, oddly enough, lose. The frankly spineless Alan is the perfect puppet, the control of which gives women the desired self-affirmation, but hardly fills a black hole in the soul. However, in the 1980s in the United States there was still no mass enthusiasm for psychotherapy, and men coped with crises with the help of work, and women, at best, got new shoes. Tragedy within the love triangle of Betty, Alan and Candy seems inevitable.

David E. Kelly largely follows the formula adopted during Big Little Lies: he demonstrates a quiet life before and after the crime, leaving 41 ax blows in the shadows. The fact that something monstrous has happened is reported to the viewer in flash forwards.

Despite a lot of clear evidence of guilt, Candy Montgomery miraculously escaped jail time. The lawyer convinced the jury that what happened was self-defense. However, half a century after the events described, people are still wondering what could have caused such all-consuming cruelty. On the same topic last year on the Hulu platform, the series “Candy” was released, and here it is impossible to do without comparisons.

Elizabeth Olsen, who has already played fanatical characters (Scarlet Witch from WandaVision, Martha from Mart, Marcy, May, Marlene), on paper seemed like an ideal candidate for the main role – not like Jessica Biel, who played the woman with an ax at Candy. However, in the frame, Olsen remains for the most part soft-bodied and does not release the inner demons of her heroine to the outside. Her version of Candy is stuck in psychological stagnation, does not show deep emotional experiences, looks like a victim, and as a result, Elizabeth Olsen’s acting work is significantly inferior to that of Jessica Bill.

Last year’s Candy TV series creators Nick Antosca and Robin Waite confidently dissected reality, portraying the killer through femoptics as a woman whose behavior was an expected response to the pressure of the patriarchal system. “Love and Death” by David E. Kelly does not even try to enter this territory, preferring to reduce the meaning of what is happening to a banal midlife crisis. This approach does not give the audience anything new.

The Candy Montgomery case isn’t a mystery in and of itself – there’s evidence, eyewitness testimony, that proves her guilty. Perhaps for this reason, a story in which the showrunner is not looking for new interpretations does not cause awe, and by the middle it looks completely banal.

Of the two TV series about the murder of Betty Gore, both of which suffer from problems with the rhythm due to excessively extended timing, I still want to choose the one that came out last year on Hulu. At least – for a worthy comeback of Jessica Biel in a frightening role; as a maximum – for the authors’ attempt to connect the tragedy with the influence of social attitudes that sell the fake idea of ​​\u200b\u200b”true female happiness.
