00:00This is
00:30East Coast Crime Network, and I'm your host Big Low Block filling in for my guy Cortez Block.
00:35Today, I've got a wild story for you. A tale that dives into obsession,
00:39jealousy, and the dark sides of family ties. Meet August. Now, August was not your everyday girl.
00:46She was a really big girl, tipping the scales at 309 pounds. She had a relationship with food
00:52that was pretty unique. And, let's just say, she used her size to her advantage,
00:57sometimes to bully those who were a bit slimmer than her. Being fat wasn't just a circumstance
01:02for August. It was a source of power. Now, there's something else you should know about August.
01:08She identified as a dyke. Her story takes a drastic turn when I talk about her cousin,
01:13who I'm gonna call Miss Funnel Cake for privacy reasons. Miss Funnel Cake was an exotic dancer.
01:17And unlike most cousins, these two weren't exactly close. August took that distance and
01:22turned it into an obsession. You see, August would actually transform her appearance,
01:27becoming a transgender man just to sneak into the clubs where her cousin danced.
01:31Yeah, she was that obsessed, spying on her cousin in a completely nude setting,
01:36while Miss Funnel Cake thought she was just doing her job. The more she watched,
01:40the more obsessive and jealous August became, eventually spreading lies that she had slept with
01:45Miss Funnel Cake. For over a decade, these fabrications festered in their community.
01:49Folks started to believe that Miss Funnel Cake was involved in something incestuous,
01:54with men backing away and labeling her as gay. As you can imagine, this didn't sit well with Miss
01:59Funnel Cake. Knowing something was seriously amiss, things took a turn when she encountered August at
02:04a cookout. That day, August was with her new fiancé, whom surprisingly was a man, and everyone was there
02:11cheering her on. But August's obsession for Miss Funnel Cake never left her. She started sending harmful
02:17text messages from random numbers, calling Miss Funnel Cake from blocked lines, making her uneasy
02:23and scared. So, after a rough encounter with a man in Milwaukee, whom she wisely decided to leave,
02:30Miss Funnel Cake ran right back to her mother's house in Jacksonville, Florida.
02:34But guess who was chilling there? You got it, August and her fiancé.
02:39In a shocking twist, they suggested a threesome, which Miss Funnel Cake naturally declined.
02:44Understandably overwhelmed, she dashed to the bathroom to throw up. But when she came back,
02:49August had some chilling words for her. Everyone already believes that we did it,
02:54so you might as well. If you tell, no one is going to take your side. No one even likes you.
02:59They like me. Can you imagine that kind of manipulation? It's disturbing.
03:04In a fit of rage and a desperate need to escape, Miss Funnel Cake grabbed a bottle of acid from the
03:09garage and threw it on August and her fiancé. What happened next? Their faces started to melt.
03:15In the chaos, Miss Funnel Cake's mother rushed home and called the cops, but in the panic,
03:20Miss Funnel Cake ended up throwing acid at her mother before she took off.
03:25Fast forward, Miss Funnel Cake found herself in prison. And one day, guess who strolled in?
03:30August. Now with a deformed face from the acid attack, she approached Miss Funnel Cake and
03:35chillingly declared, You'll never be able to get away from me. You belong to me. Can you imagine
03:41the horror that went through Miss Funnel Cake at that moment? Fueled by disgust, she tried to fight
03:46back with a makeshift shank. But August's size, it played a part there too. Sadly, Miss Funnel Cake
03:52lost the fight and her nightmare was far from over. Inside the penitentiary, Miss Funnel Cake endured
03:59unimaginable trauma at the hands of her own cousin. This haunting story is a harsh reminder that betrayal
04:04can come from those closest to you, sometimes in the most unimaginable ways. So, folks, as I wrap up,
04:11remember, not all family ties are strings of love and support. Some can turn into webs of obsession
04:16and abuse. This is Big Blow Black, subbing in for Cortez Black. Stay vigilant, trust your instincts,
04:22and let's keep the conversation going. Make sure to follow me on Instagram and stay tuned for more
04:27stories on East Coast Crime Network. Peace.
