The Clown Face Satanist

WEBVTT

1
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:32.479
Discretion is advised. This is ten
minuted murder. It was a chilly day

2
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:38.560
November thirteen, twenty eleven, around
twelve years ago, in room number nineteen

3
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:43.679
at the El Morocco Hotel in Bakersfield, a maintenance worker found a woman splayed

4
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:48.320
on the bed, knives sticking out
of her back. This was thirty seven

5
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:53.119
year old Yvette Pina, mother of
six children, living in a motel because

6
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.560
she was in a bit of a
financial crunch. Prosecutors in this case refused

7
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:02.600
to release images of this particular crime. It's rumored that it was so horrific

8
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.879
and graphic in nature that it could
permanently scar those who viewed the images.

9
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.400
Pinya had been strangled and then tortured
with bruises and cuts everywhere. She had

10
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:18.239
multiple stab wounds on her back.
Police would arrest her killer five days later

11
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.519
in his apartment. But what led
the police there? How did they know

12
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:26.400
where to look? The man is
Jamie Osuna, the notorious man with a

13
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:32.760
thousand faces? But who is Jamie
Osuna? Let's start from the beginning.

14
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.000
Born in March of nineteen eighty eight, Osuna was raised by his mother,

15
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:42.040
Michelle and stepfather Jeff. He was
repeatedly tied to a tree and whipped by

16
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:47.079
his stepfather as a child. There
was even a time when his uncle threw

17
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:52.480
a brick at him. His childhood
was obviously incredibly abusive, which led to

18
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.879
his exposure of crime really early in
life. Jamie was arrested at just fifteen

19
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.079
years old for assault with a deadly
weapon, but he later admitted that he

20
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.239
was only eight or nine years old
when he started killing animals. Since I

21
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.680
was a kid, eight nine years
old, I've killed animals. My mom

22
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:14.400
will go to the store. I'll
put the cat in the freezer fifteen minutes,

23
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:15.759
let it out, put it in
the oven, let it out.

24
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:23.199
Stuff like that. His offenses included
mostly possession of drugs and battery, which

25
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.599
means he would often beat people up
because he truly enjoyed it. In two

26
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.159
thousand and eight, Jamie was invited
to a party. It was for a

27
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:36.479
sixteen year old and his mom,
Joel Castiano, who was the host.

28
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.960
Since she had been a teen mom
herself, you could say that this was

29
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:45.840
her chance to let loose a little
bit. She got tipsy, started partying

30
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.319
a little too hard. One of
Joel's young family members at the party noticed

31
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:54.439
that she was giggling too much,
dancing too suggestively with a boy. Protective

32
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:59.479
of her, He asked his friend
to do something about it, to separate

33
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.360
the two. That guy was like, yeah, no problem. He went

34
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.759
to the kitchen and he grabbed a
knife. He went up to the man

35
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:13.879
dancing with Joel and just stabbed him, just casually stabbed him. Joel was

36
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.199
obviously shaken up, and the stabber
was arrested, and that stabber was Jamie

37
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.800
Ossuna. And somehow during the mix
of all of this, Jamie became smitten

38
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.639
with Joel. He wrote her from
prison and charmed her. Joel picked him

39
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.199
up when he was released from prison, and the two got a hotel room.

40
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.439
It was just a fling for the
young mom, something she wanted to

41
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.479
indulge in because she didn't have a
chance to before that. One night stand

42
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:45.159
got complicated when Joel realized she was
pregnant. Jamie vowed to be the dad

43
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:49.520
that he never got and proposed to
her. Carried away by his charm and

44
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.240
promises, Joel agreed. The two
got married in his grandmother's living room in

45
00:03:53.319 --> 00:04:00.000
February of two ten, Jamie wearing
maroon matching the flowers he got for Joel,

46
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.159
it was like a dream come true
for him. This dream quickly turned

47
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:10.879
into a nightmare when Jamie got incredibly
abusive during her pregnancy, both physically and

48
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:15.719
psychologically, playing mind games. In
August, he went to jail for nine

49
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.560
months for assault against Joel, but
was released merely days later on parole.

50
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:25.639
The two got back together. By
now, Jamie was using meth heavily,

51
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.480
and things ended when he shoved one
of Joel's children off of a bed.

52
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.480
Joel got knives from the kitchen to
defend herself, and like a frightened child,

53
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:39.279
Jamie called his grandmother and wanted to
be picked up. He got arrested

54
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:44.319
twice after that, making parole each
time. One time, even after violating

55
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:49.480
parole, he was released on October
thirty, first Halloween, because of course

56
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:54.680
it was, and when he was
released it put Joel on edge. She

57
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.360
was terrified, even though she had
a restraining order against him, because laws

58
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.879
are just words if there's no one
around to enforce them. On November eighth,

59
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:06.959
twenty eleven, Joel called nine to
one one to report that Jamie was

60
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.759
making threatening calls. At one point, she reported him driving up and down

61
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.800
her street, his face now completely
covered in tattoos to look like the joker.

62
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.480
As there were no deputies available,
she even called her nephew. He

63
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.279
called nine one one as well.
Playing a game, Jamie would disappear before

64
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.160
officers could show up, making Joel
look like some kind of paranoid person.

65
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.079
But then she got a very strange
call from Jamie. First thing, I

66
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:44.120
enough, watch smiar bitch, I
killed a woman at the Morocco. Concerned,

67
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.360
she called the Sheriff's department again to
check to see if Hotel El Morocco

68
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:53.000
had any reports or something like that. Was there anybody hurt or stabbed at

69
00:05:53.040 --> 00:06:00.319
the Morocco Hotel on Union I say, you know, we have not been

70
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.800
able to look at anything. She
knew exactly what this man was capable of

71
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:08.480
and was worried that a woman might
be suffering at his hands. The dispatchers

72
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:13.360
assured her that everything was fine.
Five days later, nothing was fine,

73
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:17.680
as the news highlighted the discovery of
a Vette Pinya. Evette was a thirty

74
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.920
seven year old mom. She had
been molested as a child by her mother's

75
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:26.680
boyfriend with her mother's consent, and
sadly, she wasn't able to protect her

76
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.120
younger sister either. She managed to
move out of her mother's house in her

77
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.160
teens and got pregnant at sixteen.
She had already been self medicating to cope

78
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.560
with her childhood trauma, but things
got bad quickly with four more kids.

79
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.600
The state took away all of her
children because by two thousand and four she

80
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.079
had started using meth. Evette got
arrested in February of two eleven while pregnant

81
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:53.279
with her sixth and she really wanted
to keep that baby. While in jail,

82
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.240
she got clean, had her baby, and after the charges were dropped,

83
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.519
tried to get her child back but
was denied. Hopelessly heartbroken, Yvette

84
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:06.600
started using again and moved into the
El Morocco Hotel. Now, this hotel

85
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:11.839
was in a bad part of town, mostly a drug den, prostitution,

86
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.319
lots of shady things going on there. She met Jamie Ossuna and that was

87
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:20.199
the beginning of the end. On
November thirteenth, two thou eleven, Jamie

88
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:25.560
cut her, beat her, and
strangled her to death. He was arrested

89
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:30.000
in his apartment because of Joel's nine
one one call. In prison, he

90
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.439
assaulted a man and even mailed a
dead rat to his ex wife, He

91
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:40.279
praised Satan, declared himself a Satanist, and sent ominous letters to prosecutor Lisa

92
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:45.360
Green, all of which Jamie denied
doing until an interview in two thou seventeen,

93
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.079
where he confessed in his own words. He said he was one who

94
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:54.800
was not afraid to indulge himself without
the consequences, and he went on to

95
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:59.000
admit that he enjoyed killing. He
simply said that he was confessing because he

96
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:09.399
preferred prison and to jail. I
did sadistically, premeditatedly, deliberately tortured and

97
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:15.199
murder Yvette. He also claimed that
his first murder was when he was thirteen,

98
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.839
and that he had killed in two
thousand seven as well. Throughout his

99
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:24.519
trial in March of twenty seventeen,
he mocked Yvette's family, rolling his eyes

100
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:30.399
and smirking. He even gave the
judge a thumbs up when he pronounced his

101
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:35.919
sentence, smug enjoying all the attention. In a chilling interview, he said

102
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.120
he would kill anyone, regardless of
who they were. On May fourteenth,

103
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.840
Jamie escaped the death penalty, taking
a plea for life in prison without the

104
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:50.000
possibility of parole and he was transferred
to Conquering State Prison. For two years.

105
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.320
Jamie was kept isolated for twenty three
hours of the day, except one

106
00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.519
hour for recreational time outside. On
Jamie's birthday, March seventh, two nineteen,

107
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.879
Louise Romero arrived in prison. Romero
had served twenty seven years for murder,

108
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.000
and his family hoped that he would
one day make parole. Two nights

109
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.039
later, the guards missed a few
rounds of patrol. For whatever reason,

110
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.600
this gave Jamie the opportunity that he
was looking for. He used a shiv

111
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.240
to cut his cell mate. Each
corner of Romero's mouth was cut open,

112
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:28.320
like the Joker's smile in the Dark
Night series. Jamie took out his eyeball,

113
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.759
severed his ear, and made a
necklace of pieces of his flesh.

114
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.919
Rib cage cut open, half a
lung sliced off. The medical examiner believes

115
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.480
that for most of this ordeal Romero
was conscious, there was no one to

116
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.759
hear him scream. Finally, Jamie
cut off his head at seven thirty The

117
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.559
next morning, a prison guard arrived
on the gruesome scene. The words ha

118
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.720
ha, ha ha and the Man
with a Thousand Faces were written on the

119
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:03.240
walls with blood a pentagram, as
well as hail Satan. It was the

120
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.399
most gruesome crime scene officers had seen
in a long time, the body cut

121
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.080
open and head set aside because of
the pandemic, His trial was slow,

122
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.320
but during a hearing in twenty twenty
he pled guilty to murdering simply requesting the

123
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.639
photos of the crime scene. Obviously, this was some sort of sick trophy

124
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.600
that he wanted to keep, so
the judge denied it. Meanwhile, Jamie

125
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:31.120
has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, antisocial
personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and

126
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:37.919
post traumatic stress disorder. He was
transferred to Salinas Valley State Prisons Psychiatric impatient

127
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:43.440
Program in May of twenty twenty one. He was declared competent to stand trial

128
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.480
in September of twenty twenty two.
You know, when you've experienced and you

129
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.240
go through all that stuff, this
stays with you forever. For me,

130
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.080
is not a nightmare for me,
is it is a how can I say,

131
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.720
like a prize, like a trophy. It's a it's a picture,

132
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:03.240
it's a memory. It's a photograph
that I can go back and look and

133
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:16.399
get pleasure from it. That is
ten Minute Murder for today brief and binge

I apologize if it got a little graphic

136
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.679
there. If you are eating dinner
or something, eating breakfast, eiting lunch,

137
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.679
that's my bad. I probably should
have said something at the beginning,

138
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.480
but that wouldn't got out of hand
quickly. And if you're a brand new

143
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.360
the situation he's got going on.
I'm not going to post any of

144
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.279
the photos of anything gross. I
don't do that because I don't personally want

to see it, and I assume
that you don't want to see it.

machine, so do what you want to

I live in Germany. I ask
for your indulgence because of my bad spelling.

153
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:24.759
I would like to ask you a
question. Could you please stop calling

154
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:30.960
perpetrators who have committed a serious crime
monsters? It sounds very simplistic and also

155
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.440
wrong because you quickly realize that an
act is not synonymous with the perpetrator.

156
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.440
It only serves to make you feel
morally better without understanding anything. Thank you

157
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:45.279
for your understanding and for the record, Lucas, you spelled every single thing

158
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.840
correctly. Your grammar is better than
mine. And side note, I've lived

159
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.279
in Germany for a short time when
I was growing up, and that is

160
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:56.200
a beautiful country. The people are
fantastic and welcoming and friendly. It was

161
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.879
some of the best time in my
life that I spent living in Germany.

162
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.039
Anyway, to the email, respectfully, Lucas, no, I'm not going

163
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.759
to do that, and today's story, although it was not done on purpose,

164
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.519
is a prime example of why I
won't do that because I would say

165
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:16.200
that the guy we're talking about today
is a monster. And I completely understand

166
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.279
what you're saying, and you're reasoning
behind what you're saying, And the only

167
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.799
thing I take issue with is saying
that it makes me feel morally better without

168
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:28.360
understanding anything. I understand. I
trust me, I understand. I read

169
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.559
these cases every single day. I
understand what these people have done, and

170
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.960
morally I am better than these murderers. The people you hear on this podcast

171
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.360
are making the decision to take another
person's life. No one's forcing them.

172
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.039
I've never once done an episode on
someone forced to murder. I've never once

173
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.600
done an episode where it was a
self defense case. Everyone that you hear

174
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:52.159
me talking about is a murderer.
With one exception. I did a weird

175
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.360
story a couple of years ago about
a family that owned a snake and that

176
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.759
snake killed their child and the parents
were charged with murder. Then I didn't

177
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.919
call them monsters. I don't think
so. Lucas, thank you so much

178
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.840
for your email, and thank you
for listening to the podcast. I really

179
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.679
appreciate you taking the time to do
that, and I hope that you will

180
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.279
continue to listen, because after all, we don't all have to agree on

181
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.559
all the things all the time.
We're individual people with individual ideas and opinions,

182
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.600
and they're not always going to jive. All right, that's gonna do

183
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.480
it. That's ten minute murder for
today. Thank you for listening.
