Master of Creep .
1:11
Tonight , another true crime brought to you by the
1:13
Master of Creep . Why ? The year was 1984
1:16
, and Timmy's parents
1:18
were in a heated divorce . The
1:29
biggest problem seemed to be concerning around
1:31
Timmy , a special needs child . Timmy
1:37
would probably need adult supervision his entire life and his parents disagreed
1:39
on moving forward with this dilemma . Timmy's
1:41
dad wanted to put him in a unique
1:43
program that would
1:45
allow him to live independently
1:47
, with the help of special
1:50
communities that provided housing
1:53
. Timmy was approaching
1:55
18 years old . His
1:58
father was ready for him to move out
2:00
. He had already spent
2:02
18 years raising Timmy
2:04
and now he wanted a break
2:06
and , on
2:08
the other hand , timmy's mother
2:11
wanted him to stay at home and
2:14
she was prepared to take
2:16
care of him for as long as
2:18
possible . The
2:20
divorce was finalized and
2:23
the dad moved on with his life
2:25
, cutting all ties
2:28
with his son and his
2:30
ex-wife . When
2:32
Timmy turned 18 years old
2:34
, he was 5'11 and he weighed
2:36
about 225
2:39
pounds . He was
2:41
much larger than his mom
2:43
and it was getting harder to
2:45
control Timmy's emotional flare-ups
2:48
. Timmy was
2:50
intellectually about 11
2:52
years old , stuck in
2:54
an adult's body . His
2:57
temper tantrums went from
2:59
being verbal to physical
3:01
. He often would push
3:03
his mom around and
3:06
she started fearing that this
3:08
was going to continue and get
3:10
worse . She thought maybe
3:13
her ex-husband was right
3:15
. She now realized
3:17
that she couldn't control Timmy
3:20
. Reasoning just
3:22
didn't work , so
3:24
she started calling the cops . When
3:26
Timmy would get physical and
3:29
soon Timmy became a regular
3:32
resident at the county jail
3:34
the police would
3:36
come and get Timmy and arrest
3:38
him until he calmed down , at which
3:41
point they would release him . This
3:44
continued for another six years
3:46
, at which point the pushing
3:49
turned into hitting and
3:51
choking . The
3:53
police would arrest Timmy and send
3:55
him into long-term prison for
3:57
up to six months at a time . Now
4:01
, while Timmy was sitting in jail
4:03
, his mother got some needed
4:05
relief , but then Timmy
4:08
would get out and the abuse would start
4:10
up again . By the time
4:12
Timmy turned 30 years old
4:14
, he had spent more than
4:17
four years in jail for attacking
4:19
his mother . She
4:21
was getting older and
4:23
Timmy was getting bigger and
4:25
meaner . While
4:28
in jail , timmy met several
4:30
other bad inmates and started
4:33
observing their crime habits
4:35
. Timmy learned
4:37
he didn't need to ask his mom
4:39
, he could just steal it . The
4:42
other inmates taught Timmy to go into
4:44
stores and hide things in
4:46
his jacket and then walk out without
4:48
paying for them . Timmy
4:52
couldn't drive , but
4:54
he could ride his bike , and
4:56
so he started riding his bike to a bar
4:59
that was close to his home . He
5:02
was happy that he met some of his old
5:04
cell buddies and he started
5:07
spending more time with them . And
5:09
as time went on , timmy
5:12
started doing crimes with his buddies
5:14
. Timmy would
5:16
agree to break in and steal
5:19
jewelry and his so-called
5:21
friends would buy it from
5:23
him for pennies on the dollar
5:26
. For example
5:28
, if Timmy stole a gold
5:30
ring worth $1,500
5:33
, why ? They would give
5:35
him $5 for it , and
5:38
since Timmy was a special needs
5:40
adult , he thought this
5:42
was a great price . He
5:48
didn't sell everything . One of the things that he stole and kept was a Nintendo
5:50
game box , and
5:53
his mother asked where he got the game
5:55
. He would lie and tell her that one of his
5:57
friends let him have it . He
5:59
started collecting lots of things
6:01
and his mother knew that his friends
6:04
were not just giving him that stuff , why
6:07
something else was going on
6:09
. Timmy's
6:11
mom finally got him to tell
6:13
her where he was getting all of his new
6:16
stuff . Of course
6:18
she got furious and started yelling
6:20
at him . Timmy pushed
6:23
her back and she tripped on the carpet
6:25
and fell , hitting her head on
6:27
the corner of a coffee table . Timmy
6:31
called 911 and told
6:33
them that his mother tripped and fell
6:35
. Of course he left
6:37
out the part where he pushed her , and
6:40
the police and ambulance arrived and
6:42
took his mother to the hospital
6:44
. His mother
6:46
suffered significant brain
6:48
damage and went into a coma and
6:51
never recovered . Timmy
6:54
had nowhere to go and
6:56
he couldn't live on his own . The
6:59
police questioned Timmy about the
7:01
accident , but he stuck with his
7:03
story that she accidentally
7:06
tripped and fell on her own . Many
7:09
officers from the department suspected
7:11
that Timmy killed his mother
7:13
, but there just wasn't enough
7:16
evidence to make a formal charge
7:18
. Even
7:20
though Timmy wasn't charged with murdering
7:23
his mom , he had
7:25
no place to live . He
7:28
wasn't mentally stable enough to live on
7:30
his own and the authorities
7:32
were thinking about putting Timmy into
7:34
a mental hospital , probably
7:36
for the rest of his life . In
7:39
retrospect , that would have been the
7:41
best place for him and
7:43
society . However
7:47
, this is not what happened . His grandmother
7:50
stepped up and accepted the responsibility
7:52
of looking after Timmy . Why
7:55
? She had no idea what
7:57
she was getting herself into . She
8:00
had long talks with her daughter
8:02
that's Timmy's mother and
8:04
she knew that Timmy was hard to live
8:07
with , but she didn't know what
8:09
she was getting into and she
8:11
also didn't know that she was letting a killer
8:14
, live with her . She
8:16
was used to living with her seven cats
8:19
, most of whom were
8:21
outdoor kitties , who came
8:23
to the back door to eat every day . However
8:26
, timmy didn't like cats
8:29
, and soon they started disappearing
8:31
, one at a time
8:33
, why this was the first
8:35
sign that his new living
8:37
arrangement would not work out very
8:39
well for his grandmother . No
8:42
one really knew what happened to her cats
8:44
, but she had a feeling
8:46
that Timmy was somehow
8:48
involved , since
8:52
his grandmother lived on the outskirts
8:54
of town . Timmy was more
8:56
isolated , but he
8:59
did have a computer and
9:01
he contacted some of his old friends
9:03
that he had met in jail . His
9:06
so-called friends knew that
9:09
Timmy was a couple of beers short of
9:11
a six-pack , and of course they
9:13
took advantage of his willingness
9:15
to commit crimes and sell the spoils
9:18
for pennies on the dollar , and
9:21
this worked out well for his criminal friends
9:23
. So now they just let
9:25
Timmy take all the risks , breaking
9:28
into homes and businesses , and
9:31
they got the loot for next to nothing
9:33
. They would
9:35
stop by and pick Timmy up at his
9:37
house , and then they would
9:39
tell him which homes and businesses
9:41
they wanted to rob . These
9:44
were the only friends that Timmy had
9:46
, so he was more than eager to
9:48
please them at any cost
9:50
. Timmy
9:52
is introduced to the worst people
9:54
in society worst
9:59
people in society . Timmy's sideline business of
10:01
breaking in and stealing things became more profitable as the days turned
10:03
into weeks , turned into months
10:06
. It seems that one
10:08
of his cellmates introduced Timmy
10:10
to a new friend , someone
10:13
lower than pond scum , an
10:16
absolute degenerate
10:18
. Yes , you may
10:20
have already guessed I'm
10:23
talking about a lawyer
10:25
, michael Branson
10:28
III , an attorney specializing
10:30
in wills and insurance claims
10:32
. Why , he's
10:34
slicker than a pocket full of pudding
10:37
. This lawyer
10:39
would help people write their wills
10:41
and make him the administrator
10:43
, and then he would have
10:45
them killed and take
10:47
their money . Michael
10:49
would spend most of his time figuring
10:52
out ways to legally steal money
10:54
from elderly people who
10:56
had worked hard all of their lives
10:59
. Why , if this guy
11:01
were any more crooked , he'd have
11:03
to move to Washington DC
11:06
. This guy would
11:08
steal his mama's egg money
11:11
. The combination
11:13
of Timmy and Michael meant trouble
11:15
for society . Michael
11:18
quickly determined that if Timmy's
11:20
brains were ink he
11:22
couldn't dot an I . So
11:25
Michael started hiring Timmy to
11:27
do all of his dirty work . First
11:31
it was little things like stealing
11:33
cars and running them into
11:35
telephone poles for the insurance
11:37
money , or maybe setting fires
11:39
to homes . Timmy
11:42
made more than five bucks . Michael
11:44
would pay him $100
11:47
per job and all he had
11:49
to do is keep his mouth shut
11:51
. The
11:53
jobs got bigger and
11:56
more involved and Timmy started
12:00
killing people for money . Michael
12:03
hired Timmy to kill people and
12:06
then get rid of the bodies . He
12:09
taught Timmy how to use barrels
12:11
of battery acid to melt the
12:13
bodies of his victims so
12:15
that there would be no evidence his
12:22
victims , so that there would be no evidence . Michael
12:24
owned a machine shop , a business he legally stole from an elderly man during
12:26
a liability lawsuit . This
12:29
shop had many metal barrels
12:31
in the back ready for more bodies
12:33
, and each time
12:36
Timmy would kill someone , he
12:38
would get rid of the body and he would
12:40
earn a crisp $100
12:43
bill . Things
12:45
started going south when Timmy didn't
12:48
dispose of the bodies the way
12:50
that Michael taught him how to do , but
12:52
instead he started burying
12:54
his victims in his grandmother's backyard
12:57
burying his victims in his grandmother's backyard . After several
12:59
months , timmy's personal
13:02
graveyard had seven unmarked
13:05
graves . His
13:12
grandmother asked him about all the piles of dirt that started occupying a portion of the
13:15
backyard and Timmy said that he was looking for buried treasure
13:17
. Timmy
13:19
said that he was looking for buried treasure
13:22
and his grandmother was satisfied with that answer because she knew
13:24
that Timmy was a few fries short
13:26
of a happy meal , so
13:28
she didn't question him about it anymore
13:31
. She believed that at least he
13:33
was doing something harmless . I'm
13:37
going to tell you about Timmy's last
13:39
criminal job . It
13:42
seems that Timmy was hired to kill
13:44
a young woman who had just inherited
13:47
several million dollars
13:49
because her father had died
13:51
. Her husband decided
13:54
that he would like to get his hands
13:56
on her money , so he called
13:58
Michael to help
14:00
him get a big insurance policy
14:03
for her . Michael
14:05
offered to help , for 35%
14:08
. In fact , he would get the
14:10
woman insured and
14:12
then killed . Michael
14:15
said that he had the perfect person
14:17
for the job . Yes
14:19
, it was another job for Timmy
14:21
. Timmy would kill
14:23
the woman and collect another crisp
14:25
$100 bill . But
14:29
this job is different . Michael
14:31
told Timmy that we needed
14:33
the body for proof that she was
14:35
dead . The insurance
14:38
policy required positive proof
14:40
and they couldn't just dispose
14:42
of the body like they did the rest of the
14:44
deaths . Plus , this
14:47
had to look like an accident , not
14:49
a crime , so
14:56
that the insurance company would pay more . A
15:01
car accident might meet the requirements , but how could we get Timmy
15:03
to cause a car accident ? Timmy doesn't
15:05
drive . Somehow we need to get the
15:07
woman in the same car as Timmy
15:09
and then she needs to have
15:12
a fatal accident . The
15:14
husband asked well , why do we even need
15:16
Timmy ? Why does he need to be involved
15:18
? Michael said in
15:20
case the accident didn't kill her
15:23
, timmy would have to finish the
15:25
job . So the plan
15:27
was hatched and the husband
15:29
hired Timmy to do the simple
15:31
yard work at his home , and
15:34
then he was to ask his wife to
15:37
drive Timmy back home . So
15:40
they rigged up the car's brakes so
15:42
that when she pushed on it hard
15:45
it would fail . They also
15:47
rigged the seat belts to fail
15:49
upon impact . Timmy
15:52
was supposed to sit in the back
15:54
and reach over the seat and grab the
15:56
steering wheel and plow
15:58
into a tree on the side of the road
16:00
. Timmy had a bunch
16:02
of yard tools with him , including a machete
16:05
, so the idea
16:07
was to make it look like the machete flew
16:09
forward , cutting off the
16:11
head of the young woman . So
16:14
the plan was put into play . But
16:17
the accident just barely injured the
16:19
woman and Timmy was supposed
16:22
to chop her head off with a single blow
16:24
from the back of her neck . Timmy
16:27
was told to stay with the
16:29
car and tell the police about
16:31
the accident , because
16:33
having an eyewitness would
16:35
make it easier to collect from the insurance
16:38
company , and
16:40
the police arrived to find the woman unconscious
16:43
and Timmy just slightly injured . Timmy
16:46
told the police that the woman had turned
16:49
around while driving to
16:51
talk to him and she had hit a tree
16:53
. The ambulance took
16:55
both Timmy and the woman to the hospital
16:58
, where the woman was pronounced
17:00
dead upon arrival , the
17:03
coroner reported that the woman died
17:05
from multiple lacerations
17:07
, which isn't unusual
17:09
from a car accident . However
17:12
, the 87 cuts
17:14
matched the machete , which
17:16
made no sense at all . It
17:19
was quickly determined that this was
17:21
not an accident . This
17:24
was a homicide , so
17:27
Timmy was arrested for murder
17:29
. The woman went to
17:31
a funeral home and
17:33
Timmy went to jail . The
17:36
police started investigating Timmy's
17:38
story , which began to collapse
17:40
as soon as he tried
17:42
to explain how the woman got 87
17:45
machete cuts during the accident
17:47
. The police went
17:50
to the grandmother's house where Timmy lived
17:52
and searched his room for evidence
17:54
. They found a shovel
17:56
and piles of dirt in the backyard
17:58
, and that's where they dug
18:00
up seven fresh graves to
18:03
find people who had been missing
18:05
during the past year . Timmy's
18:08
secret was now coming
18:11
to light . The FBI
18:13
was called in to help and
18:16
they found all the
18:18
evidence they needed to put
18:20
Timmy away forever . Yes
18:23
, the FBI was on the case . The
18:26
organization that used to
18:28
investigate riddle crimes before
18:30
Donald Trump came along
18:33
came
18:40
along . All of the bodies were identified and the common thread was
18:42
always pointing back to the attorney , michael Branston III . Michael was
18:44
arrested and found guilty and
18:47
sentenced to life without parole
18:49
. Timmy was found
18:51
guilty of murder and he's
18:53
going to spend the rest of his life
18:56
in a mental hospital
18:58
for the criminally insane
19:00
. And that's how it all
19:02
ended . Michael
19:04
spends most of his time trying
19:07
to not drop the bar of soap
19:09
in the shower and
19:12
Timmy spends most of his
19:14
time watching Spongebob
19:17
cartoons .
