Ep. 126- Drifter: The "Kai the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker" Story

This week Michelle and Ash revisit the story of Kai "the Hatchet-Wielding Hitch Hiker" McGillvary, viral sensation of 2013.Just a few months after his famous video swept the internet, Kai was arrested on murder charges for the murder of 73 year old attorney Joseph Galfy. Kai alleges that it was in self defense after he was twice drugged and sexually assaulted by Galfy. Galfy's brother was a former police chief and it seems as though some very crucial evidence was overlooked in Kai's trial. Does it go all the way to the top as usual? You tell us.Netflix dropped a documentary on this story yesterday and Kai was not asked to be apart of the production, the documentary leaves out crucial information from the defense's side (basically all of it).-Join us for as little as $5 a month on Patreon!-We'd love to see you in our Discord, come hang out!-Follow us on Instagram and Twitter!-Play the new and improved version of "Murder Bingo" with us!-We have awesome new merch, go take a look!-Audio editing by Emma Bowen.-Research assistance by Fallon Morey.-Sources:Casetext: The People v.
