California PC 187: The Podcast
By Bret Cher Dwee
Bret, Cher and Dwee talk about murder, murder, murders that have occurred mostly in Los Angeles County California. We are an unpolished, crass trio who records out of our Jeep, Daniel. Cher uses potty mouth words, Bret tends to mumble and Dutch occasionally barks. We love True Crime stories, we do our research and we do this for fun and for free! Don’t let the sunshine fool you.

2 Old Broads and a Mercury Sable
Geriatric besties, Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt grew out of their shared shoplifting avocation and life had become a drag for the petty theives. Helen and Olga began to commiserate with each other about committing the perfect crime that would give them the cash and adrenaline rushes they craved. They came up with a devious and greedy cocktail of insurance, derelicts and murder. For shame, Old Biddies! Tsk. Tsk..

The Rolling Hills Theater Murders
Sometime after closing on the night of Sunday February 11, 1973, the week-end children's sanctuary that was the Rolling Hills Theater in Torrance, CA, was robbed. The four employees still there when the perpetrator(s) arrived, were brutally murdered Execution-Style. The senseless and vicious slaughter of the four beloved victims at a place where parents regularly left their children for hours unsupervised, shattered the innocence of the era forever.

The 1996 Murder Torture of Anthony Guest
In the first episode of our California PC 187 podcast, we discuss the horrific torture-murder of 20 year old, Massachusettes native and child actor, Anthony "Tony" Guest in early September 1996. After the girl he is crushing on complains about Guest's "unwanted" advances towards her to psychopath Spencer Brasure, Brasure offers to "just scare" Guest into leaving her alone. Known in his neighborhood in Hawthorne, CA as a bully and incorrigible jerk with a tattoo on his belly that brags, "MY MOMMA DON'T LOVE ME," Brasure has more in mind for the boy than anyone can possibly imagine. He enlists the help of his friend, Billy Davis, whose dad's house he and girlfriend, Sonia, were living in, as well as a neighbor, 17 year old Matt Ormsby. Tony Guest was two weeks away from walking his beloved sister down the aisle when he was murdered. He never saw it coming.

The Execution Style Murders of Alan and Retana Wellman, 1975
Big Phil Blair of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania hated the idea of prison so much that he would rather execution style murder two people then do one day behind bars. A gangster and a member of the Notoriously dangerous and murderous Black Philadelphia Mafia, also known as black brothers Inc. and BPM, Big Phil Blair got himself out of the 10 years would have been given if Alan Wellman would’ve testified against. Instead, his fucked up actions got him the death penalty in the state of California . Sources

Who Doesn't Remember How To Spell Their Own Name?
David and Dawn Viens moved to Lomita, California from Florida and opened up the popular and trendy cafe, The Thyme Contemporary Cafe. Friendly and likable, Dawn made a memorable impression on everyone she met. When she suddenly disappeared, her absence was noticed. Upon inquiring about Dawn's whereabouts Dawn's husband, David, responded with answers that just did not ring true to anybody. Then the shit really went down and got even more bizarre.

How to Become a Homicide Detective
The last episode was harder on us mentally and emotionally than we ever anticipated. It totally fucked us up. Therefore, we have decided to make episode three somewhat educational and light hearted. We take a more in depth look at California Penal Code 187, as well as give an overview of the Law Enforcement Agencies that serve Los Angeles County. We end on a positive note with a brief biography of LAPD Homicide Detective honored with Badge Number 1, John Paul St. John, better known as "Jigsaw John." Thanks for listening!
