All Because of Shoes

Fetishes are weird. The fixation of an individual to one thing that will grant them sexual gratification can have a ring of cheesiness or cringe to it, yet many prevail in society. What causes a person to become fixated is still debated, with classical conditioning, a misfire of the brain, to imprinting at an early age as being potential causes. Maybe it's one reason, maybe it's all of them, but one strong fact is that men are more likely to develop a fetish than women. This is a story about one such man.

Jerry Brudos was the youngest child of his family. His mother had wanted a daughter and her displeasure was known to Brudos from an early age. When his mother discovered Brudos had stolen high heels from a local junkyard, the abuse he suffered by his mother increased. The family settled in Salem, OR, where Brudos's fixation on shoes continued to escalate to the point where he was willing to commit crimes to fulfill his desires.

Brudos stalked and beat women in his teens to steal their shoes. He even had a stint in Oregon State Hospital for a time where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. This stay did not cure him of his fetishism with shoes and it only continued to manifest in nightly prowling and mental abuse of his wife to accomplish satisfaction.

From 1968 to 1969, Jerry Brudros murdered four young women in his garage that he had transformed into a private chamber. His wife could not enter without first buzzing an intercom. He kept "trophies" of body parts, one of which was a foot in order to model his collection of high heels. Of his four victims, Linda Slawson, Jan Whitney, Karen Sprinker, and Linda Salee, he was convinced of murdering 3. Brudos was the longest incarcerated inmate of the Oregon Department of Corrections for 37 years until his death in 2006.

Culturally, Brudos's oddity and singular fixation on shoes have gone beyond the Oregon borders: Silence of the Lambs Buffalo Bill was based in part on Jerry Brudros. J. K. Rowling also based her serial killer character in Troubled Blood on Brudos.

Part of why Brudos was captured and convicted was the collection of "trophies" and photographs he took of his victims. The callous nature in which he killed just for the parts he fixated on may be partially understood by what he said after being caught.

"Detective Jim Byrnes recalled a conversation with Brudos in which he asked him, "Do you feel some remorse, Jerry? Do you feel sorry for your victims, for the girls who died?" Brudos then picked a half-piece of paper up off of the table, wadded it up into a ball and threw it on the floor, whereupon he replied, "I care about those girls as much as I care about that piece of wadded up paper."

the “psycho and silence of the lambs are transphobic” rhetoric is so funny to me bc like… no one said those characters were trans… so many serial killers (who are all male, no aileen wuornos doesn’t count) have dressed up in women’s clothing either for sexual pleasure/fetishism or to disguise themselves and get closer to women including robert durst, jerry brudos, dennis rader (btk), russell williams, ed gein (who is the “originator” of the “trope” but i actually find the least convincing as an obvious fetishist like the others). like it’s a real thing, it’s not made up, stop lying lmao. and it’s bc of porn addiction ok bye

[entomo-maniac]

I believe that Able being hit in the head by a rock explains a lot of his character. 

A hit on the frontal lobe can cause:

(Attention) Changes in activation and orienting responses and decreased directed forms of attention.

(Social and emotional behavior) Lack of respect for social norms, emotional lability, sexual inadequacy, excessive familiarity, and inadequate emotional interpretation.

(Language) Aphasia, mutism, naming errors, and lack of verbal control over behavior.

(Memory) Amnesia, defects in working memory, and metamemory.

(Motor skills) Pathological reflexes, neglect, tone and gait abnormalities, changes in sphincter control, hyperactivity, utilization behavior, and perseverance.

(Perception) Limitations in eye movements and inadequate perceptual interpretation.

(Personality) Moria, impulsivity, pseudo-depression, and pseudo-psychopathy.

(Intellectual processes) Difficulties of abstraction, concept formation, and tendency to present infantile ways of thinking.

So, what's the big deal with this? The big deal with all of this is in real-life examples of serial killers who suffered from a head injury during their childhood and adolescence, examples are Ed Gein, Jerry Brudos, Gary Heidnik, Richard Ramirez, Henry Lee Lucas, and Alexander Pichushkin.

The symptoms listed above are from Dysexecutive syndrome, noted before to be caused from a head injury, specifically in the frontal lobe, the most notorious symptoms of Able correspond to social and emotional behavior, personality, and intellectual processes, which are noted in his article.

(I don't know if Dr.Clef has this in mind while doing the revision, but I like this explanation better than "he just has the mind of an edgy teenager" that is usually writen).

Summary: Abel probably has Dysexecutive syndrome and that Cain really fucked up big time.

So thanks for reading my little thoughts before bed.

my friends cat is obsessed with smelling shoes and i call him jerry brudos and she just found out why i say that and is mad at me

[beirarowling]

So you'll exile J.K. Rowling for knowing what a woman is, but Tom Burke is still fine to support even though he took a role away from a disabled actor? I don't understand how your logic works, I guess it only applies to women.

It is outrageous how there were so many people losing their minds over this book when it was published. I've just finished reading it, and there was no transphobia. The killer, Dennis Creed, wasn't even the murderer of the woman whose disappearance they were investigating. There is a mention of him wearing a women's jacket and a wig to gain his victims' trust, and he lies to the police about the items he stole from his victims by claiming they were his and that he crossdressed. That is not transphobia. Creed was based upon real life serial killers Jerry Brudos and Russell Williams. Both men had a paraphilia for women's clothing, as this is a common paraphilia in male serial killers. Bury your head in the sand if you want, but those are facts, not transphobia.

It's pretty silly you credit the scriptwriters for making sympathetic LGB characters when they are straight from J.K. Rowling's book, SHE created them!

So someone saw my post on Troubled Blood and decided to reblog it with this comment

I watched Troubled Blood because, as my Tumblr profile proclaims, I am “an elderly Tom Burke tragic”, not because I had a hankering to consume JKR while condemning her as a person. The series is very much more than JKR’s books, and is a sum of the work of dozens of people, not JKR herself. Indeed, I approached the series with some nervousness because the books are known to be transphobic. However, the scriptwriters have not only managed to remove the transphobia, they have made them sympathetic to LGB people, if not specifically trans people.

There are still problems, like Burke playing a disabled actor when he is not himself disabled. (He was unable to make much of a defence of that when challenged about it, either.) As far as I know, he’s never spoken out against JKR’s opinions on trans people, though he’s not known for giving his opinions on such matters. The only time he expressed an opinion on something political*, he made a completely balls up of it, so I’m not surprised he keeps his mouth shut. Other actors have more courage, of course.

I haven’t bought any of the series - I watch them on BBC iPlayer - and I won’t be buying them. Or the books. JKR makes not a penny from me. I absolutely and unreservedly condemn JKR’s stance on trans people.

Am I a hypocrite? I certainly have refused to watch any more movies or TV with certain actors who have turned out to be racist, abusive, anti-Semitic etc, or by certain directors, ditto. I don’t buy books by authors who I deem problematic for various reasons.

But to me, there is an important separation between an author with horrible views which may or may not be expressed in a book which becomes the basis for a film or TV series, and that final product which has been cleaned of those horrible views and the story presented in a way which is not objectionable.

Will a lot of people look up the books after seeing the series? Yes. Do I control that? No. JKR’s opinions are now very well known - she makes no attempt to hide them and is very proud of them. So, if people still want to put money in her pocket after knowing about what she thinks of other human beings who don’t conform to her precise definitions of gender, then that’s on them. I would be confident that anyone following me would be well aware of what she is, and wouldn’t be persuaded to act against their conscience because I wrote up my reaction to the TV show.

I guess I’m saying that I was aware that I could justly be accused of hypocrisy, but I also weighed up the harm that might follow from that hypocritical acts, and judged it small. If I got that wrong, I’m sorry

*”He lives in London with a girlfriend he doesn’t speak about, confessing a “soft spot” for Boris Johnson when the prime minister stressed after his row with Carrie Symonds that his private life was his business. “I feel like this glass confessional box culture we’ve suddenly found ourselves in is so insidious.””

Jerry Brudos: The 'Shoe Fetish Slayer'

Jerry Brudos was born in Webster, South Dakota, as the younger of two sons. His mother had wanted a girl and was very displeased that she had another son instead, and constantly subjected him to emotional and physical abuse. 

Brudos had a fetish for women's shoes from the age of five, after playing with stiletto heeled shoes at a local junkyard. He reportedly attempted to steal the shoes of his first grade teacher. Brudos also had a fetish for women's underwear and claimed that he would steal underwear from female neighbors as a child.  He spent his teen years in and out of psychotherapy and psychiatric hospitals.

In his teenaged years, Brudos began to stalk local women, knocking them down or choking them unconscious, and fleeing with their shoes. At age 17, he abducted and beat a young woman, threatening to stab her if she did not follow his sexual demands. Shortly after being arrested, he was taken to a psychiatric ward of Oregon State Hospital for nine months. There it was found Brudos' sexual fantasies revolved around his hatred towards his mother and women in general. He underwent a psychiatric evaluation and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. 

In 1961, Brudos married a 17-year-old girl, Darcie, with whom he would father two children, and settled in a Salem suburb. He asked his new bride to do housework naked except for a pair of high heels while he took pictures. It was at about this time that he began complaining of migraine headaches and "blackouts," relieving his symptoms with night-prowling raids to steal shoes and lace undergarments. Brudos would experience a transvestite period, where he used the female persona as a form of escape mechanism.

Between 1968 and 1969, Brudos bludgeoned and strangled four young women and attempted to attack two others:

Linda Slawson, 19, a door-to-door encyclopedia saleswoman who knocked on Brudos's door on January 26, 1968. Brudos lured her to the basement while his mother and children were in the house, knocked her out with a wooden plank, and strangled her. He dressed her in different female undergarments and shoes he had stolen, arranged her body in provocative poses, and used a hacksaw to cut off her left foot, which he kept in a freezer and used to model his collection of high-heel shoes. He disposed of the body in the Willamette River.

Jan Susan Whitney, 23, a motorist whose car broke down on Interstate 5 between Salem and Albany on November 26, 1968. Brudos offered to drive her to his home with the excuse of letting her call a tow truck there. While still in the car, he strangled her with a leather strap and raped her. He kept the body hanging from the pulley in his garage for several days, during which he dressed, photographed, and had sex with it. This time, Brudos cut off one of her breasts and made a resin mold of it that he used as a paperweight. Afterward he tied the body to a piece of railroad iron and threw it in the Willamette along with Slawson's foot, which had rotted.

Karen Sprinker, 18, abducted at gunpoint from a parking lot outside a department store on March 27, 1969. Brudos was dressed in women's clothes during this attack. He brought her to his garage, made her try on his collection of undergarments and pose while he photographed her, raped her, and strangled her by hanging her by her neck from a pulley. Brudos had sex with the body on several occasions and cut off her breasts to make plastic molds. Afterward, he tied the body to a six-cylinder car engine with nylon cord and threw it in the Willamette.

Sharon Wood, 24, attempted to abduct at gunpoint from the basement floor of a parking garage in Portland on April 21, 1969.

Gloria Gene Smith, 15, attempted to abduct on April 22, 1969.

Linda Salee, 22, abducted from a shopping mall parking lot on April 23, 1969. Brudos brought her to his garage where he raped and strangled her, and played with her corpse. He decided to not cut her breasts off because they were "too pink," and instead applied an electrical current to the body in an attempt to make it "jump", which failed. Afterward, he tied the body to a car transmission with a nylon cord and threw it in the Willamette.

Brudos would dress up in high heels and masturbate after committing a murder. In May 1969, a fisherman found the bodies of Salee and Sprinker in the Long Tom River. The police asked students at a nearby university campus about suspicious men and one led them to Brudos, who had phoned her several times to ask her for a date. Brudos gave police a false address, which increased their suspicions. At his garage, the police found copper wire that was determined to have been cut with the same tool that cut the cords used to tie the bodies. Brudos was arrested, and he made a full confession.

On June 28, 1969, Brudos pled guilty to three first-degree murders (Sprinker, Whitney and Salee) and was sentenced to three consecutive terms of life imprisonment in Oregon State Penitentiary. Though he confessed to Slawson's murder, Brudos was neither tried nor convicted for it because he did not make and keep photographs of the body, unlike in the other cases, but only of her foot. Whitney's body was found a month after Brudos' conviction, about a mile downstream from where he said he had thrown it.

While incarcerated, Brudos had piles of women's shoe catalogues in his cell. He wrote to major companies requesting them, and claimed they were his substitute for pornography. He lodged countless appeals, including one in which he alleged that a photograph taken of him with one of his victim's corpses could not prove his guilt, because it was not the body of a person he was convicted of killing. In 1995, the parole board told Brudos that he would never be released.

Brudos died in prison on March 28, 2006, from liver cancer.

Mindhunter made me do it

Reading about serial killers again. Blame Mindhunter. Man, Season 2 was fucking brilliant. It rekindled my fascination with these murderous bastards and their grisly exploits...

Fact: Used to read about serial killers a lot (got books on Brudos, Bundy, Gein, Shawcross, the Green River Killer and, of course, Helter Skelter, which made a cameo on Mindhunter S02). Then I quit cold turkey. When I started seeing vacant lots and thinking, ‘This is a good spot to hide a body,’ I knew I’d be better off reading something else. Also, for someone wrestling with occasional bouts of crippling depression, serial killers don’t make healthy late-night mental companions. They make this bleak world seem, well, bleaker.

And so much for that.

[verumcrimen]

Jerome Henry "Jerry" Brudos, também conhecido como "O Assassino do Fetiche dos Sapatos", foi um estuprador americano necrófilo e efebofílico, assassino em série e sequestrador.

Brudos nasceu em 31 de janeiro de 1939 em Webster, Dakota do Sul, como o caçula de dois filhos. Durante sua infância, ele foi constantemente abusado por sua mãe devido ao fato de que ela sempre quis uma menina, e ficou descontente por ter outro filho. O fetiche de Brudos por sapatos femininos começou quando ele tinha apenas cinco anos, depois de brincar com sapatos de salto alto em um ferro-velho. Brudos mais tarde afirmou que ele tentou roubar os sapatos da sua professora da primeira série. Além de ter um fetiche por sapatos femininos, ele também tinha um fetiche por roupas íntimas femininas, o que o levou a roubar roupas íntimas de suas vizinhas. Quando adolescente, ele era paciente em muitos hospitais psiquiátricos, fazendo tratamento com psicoterapia. Ele também perseguia mulheres locais, derrubando-as, ou sufocando-as a ponto de inconsciência, e fugindo com seus sapatos. Quando tinha dezessete anos, ele sequestrou e espancou uma jovem, ameaçando esfaqueá-la se ela não seguisse seus comandos sexuais. Brudos foi preso logo depois e levado para uma ala psiquiátrica por nove meses. Lá, ele foi diagnosticado com esquizofrenia e misoginia extrema.

Apesar de institucionalizado, Brudos conseguiu se formar no ensino médio em 1957 e se tornou técnico em eletrônica. Quatro anos depois, ele se casou com uma menina de dezessete anos e teve dois filhos com ela. Os dois moravam juntos em um subúrbio de Salem, Oregon. Brudos costumava forçar sua esposa a fazer tarefas domésticas enquanto nua, exceto por um par de sapatos de salto alto, enquanto ele tirava fotos. Algum tempo depois, Brudos começou a reclamar de sofrer de enxaqueca e desmaios. Para aliviar os sintomas, ele roubava sapatos e roupas íntimas de renda durante suas escapadas noturnas. Ele manteve todos os objetos roubados e, por um tempo, os corpos de suas futuras vítimas, em uma garagem em que ele não permitiria que sua esposa entrasse sem anunciar sua chegada em um interfone. 

Em 1967, Brudos seguiu uma mulher até sua casa porque gostou dos sapatos dela. Ele então invadiu a casa dela enquanto ela dormia e a estuprou antes de estrangulá-la ao ponto de inconsciência, depois saiu com alguns de seus sapatos.

Os assassinatos de Brudos foram inicialmente sem planejamento, mas ele começou a evoluir seu M.O. em assassinatos posteriores. Ele raptava moças de locais públicos e as levava para sua casa. Lá, ele as estrangulava ou espancava até a morte. Depois de matá-las, ele se envolvia em atos de necrofilia com seus corpos e se vestia com as roupas de suas vítimas. Brudos também guardava troféus de suas vítimas, como um par de seios amputados que eram usados como pesos de papel e um pé esquerdo decepado que ele usava para modelar os sapatos que colecionava. Depois de satisfazer seus desejos com os corpos, ele os despejava nos rios locais, os amarrando em partes de peças mecânicas para afundá-los.

Em 26 de janeiro de 1968, Brudos matou uma garota chamada Linda Slawson quando a mesma vendia enciclopédias no bairro de Portland, onde Brudos morava com sua esposa e filhos. Ele se aproximou dela e fingiu estar interessado em comprar um conjunto de livros. Depois que ela baixou a guarda, ele a subjugou, espancando-a, antes de estrangulá-la até a morte. Depois de matá-la, ele jogou seu corpo de uma ponte no rio Willamette, na Interestadual 5, e seu corpo nunca foi encontrado. Vários meses depois, Jan Whiteney estava voltando para casa de um banquete de Ação de Graças quando seu carro quebrou, deixando-a presa na estrada. Dirigindo pela mesma estrada, Brudos a viu e parou para oferecer assistência, mas a estrangulou e se envolveu em necrofilia com seu corpo. Mais tarde, o carro de Whiteney foi encontrado abandonado em uma parada de descanso na Interestadual 5, entre Salem e Albany, enquanto seu corpo foi encontrado amarrado a um pedaço de ferro da ferrovia em 27 de julho de 1969.

No ano seguinte, Brudos sequestrou Karen Sprinker do estacionamento da empresa Meier & Frank e a levou para sua casa, onde ele a estuprou e a matou. Seu corpo foi encontrado em 12 de maio no rio Long Tom, perto de Monroe. Um mês depois, Brudos tentou sequestrar outra garota, Gloria Smith, mas Smith conseguiu escapar. Um dia depois, ele sequestrou Linda Salee de um estacionamento do Lloyd Center em Portland e a matou. Seu corpo foi encontrado no mesmo rio em que Sprinker fora encontrada.

Depois de uma dica de uma estudante da Oregon State University, Brudos foi identificado como suspeito dos assassinatos e sua casa foi revistada. Lá dentro, a polícia encontrou fios de cobre, cordas e fotos de suas vítimas. Brudos foi posteriormente preso e identificado como o homem que tentou sequestrar Gloria Smith. Ele foi acusado de três assassinatos e se declarou culpado três dias antes do início do julgamento. Depois de receber três sentenças de prisão perpétua, ele foi transferido para a Penitenciária Estadual do Oregon. Brudos morreu de câncer de fígado em 28 de março de 2006 às 5:10 da manhã. Ele tinha 67 anos na época.
