[00:00:05]That's what I love.

[00:00:08]>> I'm glad to know you love me in your funny way of showing. My appetite is totally wet. My sweet puss. She is glowing. Anyway, where the [ __ ] I am?

[00:00:19]I'm from a place called Cinderella, Wyoming, USA.

[00:00:25]>> Yes, friends. Today we have a proper loony bin. a lunatic running the asylum.

[00:00:30]My name is Cameron. Welcome to True Red Crime. This is the case of Linda Mercy.

[00:00:35]Let's start with her background. She was born in 1954. She was cruy abused. It came in every form and she was also sexually assaulted when she was younger.

[00:00:46]This emotional torment convinced her she was worthless. And by the time she became an adult, she was already fractured.

[00:00:55]Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, but it's late after 10:00.

[00:01:02]>> She joined the US Marine Corps. She deserted twice and she was discharged.

[00:01:07]For decades, she lived with PTSD. But then later in her life, she transitioned. Yes, Linda was born a biological man, but then transitioned to a female.

[00:01:19]>> Not crying.

[00:01:23]>> It's not a rock. It really is not spitting smacks. What the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] >> Hi.

[00:01:37]>> Now, I know some of you are going to get upset that I'm calling her a woman. I have no interest in her transition. But whenever I describe a story, I always go by the police report. And the police refer to her as a female. So, please don't get mad at me. All that stuff's irrelevant anyway. But even that act of self-affirmation couldn't heal her deep wounds. Eventually, she settled in Bellingham, Washington. And it was then when the world shut down in March 2020, you had CO. And for Linda, who was already teetering on the edge with all her trauma, the pandemic was catastrophic. I mean, just take a look.

[00:02:21]Grammy award biggest nights and we'll be looking back at this year's nominees playing some of their songs.

[00:02:31]>> She lost her job immediately. The small income that had kept her afloat disappeared and with it went her daily routine and human contact. The small connection she had to the outside world was now gone and she was isolated in her apartment. Her mental health began to spiral. She stopped sleeping properly.

[00:02:50]She stopped eating regularly. The walls of her apartment, it began to feel like a trap. Do you know anyone during COVID who went through this? I do. You know, just completely shutting down. I mean, just have a look at some of her behavior.

[00:03:25]Hello. You see, after this came an incident with a neighbor. There was a man who lived in her building and he began making unwanted sexual advances.

[00:03:35]And of course, for someone with Linda's history of abuse, this was retraumatizing. She called the police on multiple times, desperate for intervention, but nothing was done. The man remained next door, and she remained in fear, and then her behavior became even more erratic. She received a DUI.

[00:03:54]Police, after that, were called to her apartment on several occasions. She was a person in crisis. And by early 2021, Linda no longer felt safe in her own home.

[00:04:08]Like a Tundra [ __ ] Toyota like a Tacoma.

[00:04:24]She then decided to leave Bellingham and find somewhere new. She looked at the Olympic Peninsula, which is a remote stretch of Washington State, but she had no car. She had no money, but she went anyway. She traveled by bus and she was hitchhiking. She was cold, hungry, and with no way to go. And I think during all of this, she took a crack at YouTube. I mean, here's her YouTube channel. [ __ ] God. For Christmas. No, it's kind of harsh. How about Oh, [ __ ] Oh, for Christmas is a Nazi [ __ ] dinner. Get a good one.

[00:05:01]>> You can make of that what you will. And on the night of April 6th, 2021, she found herself on Whidby Island at the Coupeville Ferry Terminal.

[00:05:13]Feel good.

[00:05:15]Feel good. Feel good with that one. Feel good. Feels good. All right. I step out.

[00:05:23]I step out on the beach. I got it.

[00:05:31]>> That was my Sasquatch call. How'd I do?

[00:05:33]You see any? I'm looking for them.

[00:05:34]They're coming. I got that duck call.

[00:05:36]Let's walk quick.

[00:05:36]>> And this is where her path intersected with the victim, Thomas Flood. He himself was 67 years old, the same age as Linda. He became a carpenter and a handyman. His sister Kathleen described him as honest and good. So, on the night of April 6th, 2021, Thomas parked his van near the terminal as he often did.

[00:05:59]He climbed into the back of his van, settled into his sleeping bag, and went to sleep. Linda arrived at the terminal sometime that evening. She spotted a vehicle belonging to a ferry worker, and climbed inside. The ferry worker discovered her and chased her out. Then, she sees Thomas's van. It was parked on the side of the road and what happened next will be debated in courtroom testimony. See, Thomas was asleep in his sleeping bag in the back of his van.

[00:06:26]Linda opens the door. Then a gunshot goes off and another one goes off. There was no confrontation. There was no argument. There was no struggle. Just two shots and Thomas bleeding in the back of his van. Thomas was shot in his torso. Linda then takes the keys, climbs into the driver's seat, and starts the engine. And here is the crucial fact that would later dominate the trial.

[00:06:50]See, the medical examiner determined that neither of the gunshot wounds were actually fatal immediately. If he received medical attention, he would have survived. You see, the bullets had not struck any vital organs. He was bleeding. He was in pain, but he was alive and he could have been saved.

[00:07:07]However, Linda began driving north. She was driving with a dying man. And along the route there were hospitals, fire stations, police stations, countless places where she could have stopped and called for help. But Linda passed them all. She drove past Whidby Health Medical Center in Coupeville, less than 2 miles from where Thomas was shot. She drove through Oak Harbor, a town with a Naval Air Station and full emergency services. Again, at any point she could have stopped, but Thomas bled and his condition worsened. So then she drove all the way to Blaine, Washington. This is the northmost city in the state. In the darkness, Linda pulled Thomas' body from the van. She wrapped him in his own sleeping bag and blankets and dumped him along the trail. She left him there. She then drove back to Bellingham to the neighborhood where her apartment was located. She left Thomas's van in the parking lot of a Fremont church, parked it among other vehicles in what may have been an attempt to hide it. But in the van, it was covered in Thomas's blood.

[00:08:10]Now, on the morning of April 7th, the next day, two teenage boys were biking near the park when they spotted something unusual. As they got closer, they realized there's a body wrapped in blankets. So, they called 911. Police arrived and began the grim work of processing the scene. Now, the victim was an older man shot twice in the torso. He had been dead for hours, but the investigation moved quickly.

[00:08:35]Detectives began piecing together what had happened. You see, at the ferry terminal, they found a crushed 40 caliber bullet casing. Ballistics analysis would later match it to a gun registered to Linda Mercy. Surveillance footage from gas stations that you can see on your screen right now, and the ferry terminal captured images of a woman matching Linda's description. So then the timeline began to shape. And for police, some more information was crucial. You see, a friend of Linda's called 911 and reported Linda had given them a gun shortly after April 6th.

[00:09:13]>> Volunteered that she told you that she bought a gun.

[00:09:17]>> Yeah, she told me she bought a was she was looking at a gun at Jagger's. To me, I thought it looked like it might have been a Glock, but I'm not real sure. I'm not a real gun fashion. Okay.

[00:09:28]>> My daughter-in-law and my son, yes, they >> Do you recall what color it was?

[00:09:32]>> It was black.

[00:09:33]>> Okay. And where did you see where did you see the pictures at?

[00:09:37]>> I think it was on Facebook. Claire I think Claire put it on Facebook on our Facebook page.

[00:09:44]>> So the gun was recovered. It was tested and it matched the bullet police found.

[00:09:49]So now the evidence was overwhelming.

[00:09:52]>> Soda. Bottle of water.

[00:09:53]>> She wants water. Water.

[00:09:54]>> Water.

[00:09:59]>> We got like m Mountain Dew. Coke.

[00:15:02]>> Well, you know, you know, you know, so so yeah, I do need a lawyer cuz I don't know a goddamn thing, but you know everything. So, thanks.

[00:15:09]>> Hi.

[00:15:09]>> Hey, Linda.

[00:15:10]>> I know. What was that? But she remained in jail for the next 5 years awaiting trial. The delays were caused by many factors. Co 19 backlogs, motions filed by both sides, the complexity of gathering and analyzing the evidence in this case. So finally, February 2026, the trial finally began. It lasted four weeks. The chief criminal attorney argued that Linda had murdered Thomas to steal his van. He presented the physical evidence, the bullet casing, ballistics match, surveillance footage, blood in a van, and just Linda's general cuckoo nature. So then Timothy Arnold, who was Linda's defense attorney, argued that the state's case was built on circumstantial evidence. there's gaps in the timeline. He challenged the prosecution narrative, suggesting that there were other possible explanations for what happened. He emphasized on Linda's mental health issues, her trauma history, her deteriorating state in the months leading up to April 6th, 2021. He argued the defense did not prove she did this. She did it intentionally. They didn't prove that. And as the trial went on, the jury heard testimony from investigators, from the medical examiner, and from other witnesses who had seen Linda in the days before and after the shooting. And on February 23rd, 2026, after days of deliberation, she was found guilty of secondderee murder. The prosecutor asks for the maximum sentence and emphasized Linda's callousness in letting Thomas die, the decision to dump his body, and her attempt to hide the evidence. Linda's public defender argued for mercy, talking about her childhood trauma, her undiagnosed PTSD, the mental health crisis during COVID 19, and the defense lawyer argued Linda is not a cold-blooded killer, just a damaged person. So the judge listened to both sides and believed Linda let him die.

[00:17:12]She let him bleed out in the back of his own van. She dumped his body even though at any moment she could have got him help. So the judge sentenced Linda 23 years in prison. Linda is going to be 90 years old before being eligible for release. Now of course at the sentencing hearing, Thomas's family had the opportunity to speak because Thomas and Linda didn't know each other. Thomas was just the unlucky individual to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. But Kathleen, Thomas's sister, she described him as he lived his life with integrity and kindness. He hurt no one. And Linda murdered him in cold blood. He was shot while sleeping, left to bleed to death, and dumped on a trail like something worthless. He will be remembered. And again, if you go and look at the videos of Linda, you can see the mental health issues. At the same time, you can't help but think, "What the [ __ ] am I looking at?" One flew over the cuckoo's nest for sure. It's like she's Jack Nicholson reincarnated. Or am I being too harsh given her childhood trauma? Nothing justifies what she did. So, that's the end of the actual video, but I wanted to go over a lot of her videos that I had in the case file. I can't show them to you because right now, as she's, you know, doing whatever the [ __ ] she's doing with her nose, she has background music playing and YouTube is going to copyright it and take the video down.

[00:18:30]But I wanted to go over just the sheer derangement and the absolute just what the hell am I looking at about this file? I mean, look, what is she doing?

[00:18:40]You know, what is she doing?

[00:18:45]What on earth is that?

[00:18:47]Is she actually licking the camera? What is she a cat or a dog? Oh my days. And this is what I meant in the video when I said that this is just a case where mental health is clearly the issue because I think Linda wanted adgulation.

[00:19:06]She wanted to be adored. I think Linda wanted just to feel loved and to feel wanted. And her staying home the whole time, I think this drove her crazy. I mean, just going back to this one, obviously she's feeling a bit of a rhythm with those um tambourines. Is that what they call? I don't know. But like I mean look, what on earth is this?

[00:19:26]Again, she's making videos cuz she just wants to be heard. She just wants to be seen. When you take away all the jokes, when you take away the, you know, the insane crime that she did, right? And that's why I started this story with her background, her child abuse, and everything she experienced cuz that's the only way to explain her deranged behavior. But you see this, she's just seeking attention. Linda was so alone it drove her crazy. Let me show you more.

[00:20:01]>> [ __ ] Toyota like a I'm dreaming the dream. Holy [ __ ] Baby Jesus, this is so illegal. Don't climb on the trains. Federal offense.
