Hi, friends. How are you today? My name is Bailey Sarian, and today is Monday, which means it's murder, mystery, and makeup Monday. If you're new here, hi. My name is Bailey Sarian, and on Mondays, I like to sit down and talk about a true crime story that's been heavy on my noggin, and I do my makeup at the same time. It keeps my hands busy, and I need it. Hi, friends. Just popping in here really quick to mention today's sponsor, Rocket Money. Look, I opened up my bank account app, you know, the other day, and I found out that I was being charged every month for a streaming service that I don't even use anymore.

Like, I used it once, like, many, many, many months ago, and I was paying for it. You know? I just wanted to sign up for a free trial and watch one show. Next thing you know, I'm being charged a lot. You know? I mean, they always get us with the free trials, and then we forget about it. You know? And the next thing you know, you're just paying for stuff that you don't even use. And then on top of that, to fix it, I mean, you can waste hours and hours on the phone trying to cancel it. Sometimes they make it, like, so hard, don't they? Well, thankfully, Rocket Money is here to help. If you don't know, Rocket Money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions.

Now let's get into today's story. If you're interested in true crime and you like makeup, I would say, hey, subscribe because I'm here for you on Mondays. Yeah? Great. Other than that, I'll shut up, and let's get into today's story. I actually never heard of this story. Happened not that long ago, and I just, I don't know. I'm always surprised. Every every time I do a murder mystery, I'm like, really? It gets worse.
Bailey Sarian
00:03:04 - 00:03:26
It always does. So today's story is about, like, a shopaholic spoiled teenager, pretty much, who was never told no, and that was, like, the only intro I could think of, pretty much. So let me start doing makeup. I'm thinking I'm gonna do blue today. Okay. Great. So the Harubi family, that's who we're talking about. It was a family of 4.

There was the father, his name was John. Mother, her name was Joy, but everyone called her Tinker. They had a son. He was the oldest son. His name was Alan, and then a daughter named Katherine. So John, who was 50 at the time of this story, he was a publisher of a local weekly newspaper. His family, like generations before him, had owned the Duncan banner, which was a local paper. And it was, like, 3 generations in his family this paper was in, and then he ended up selling it in 1997.

So when he sold the paper, it left the family, like, with a good chunk of change. You know? Like, they had a good amount of money, and they were able to live pretty, pretty comfortably. Then in 2007, John bought 2 other, local papers, the Marlow Review and then the Comanche County Chronicle. So again, local paper. It's what he knew. It was in the family. I think he liked it. Right? So he kept it going.

I got eyelash glue stuck all over my lashes. This is a side note. If you know a good makeup remover that gets like I can't get the eyelash glue off. I have tried all of my makeup removers. It's so frustrating. So let me know down below. Thanks. Okay.
