  • N. Leigh Hunt: The Brenda Ann Spencer Story
    Jan 13 2026

    I Don’t Like Mondays: The True Story Behind America’s First Modern School Shooting

    by N. Leigh Hunt

    In this episode of Another Nobody, we take a deep, unflinching look at the case of Brenda Spencer, the teenage girl behind what is widely considered America’s first modern school shooting.

    On January 29, 1979, Spencer opened fire from her home across the street from Cleveland Elementary School, killing two adults and wounding multiple children and a police officer. When asked why she did it, her now-infamous response — “I don’t like Mondays” — became a cultural flashpoint, inspiring a hit song and shaping how mass violence would be discussed in the media for decades to come.

    In this conversation, Another Nobody examines:

    • What really happened that morning in San Diego
    • How the media narrative formed — and what it got wrong
    • The psychological and environmental factors surrounding Brenda Spencer
    • Juvenile justice, sentencing, and parole controversies
    • How this case became a blueprint for modern mass-shooting coverage

    Drawing on years of research and historical context, the episode cuts through myths, internet folklore, and sensationalism to explore the human, cultural, and systemic forces behind a case that still echoes today.

    This is not a glorification — it’s a sober, necessary examination of a moment that changed America.

    Two girls disappear. Years pass. The questions only get louder.

    In this episode of Another Nobody, host Travis Myers sits down with Jules Thorp to revisit the chilling case of the Wix Girls disappearance—and to talk through the latest updates, renewed attention, and what’s changed (and what hasn’t) as new information and fresh interest bring the case back into focus.

    We walk through the known timeline, the most disputed details, and the theories that keep resurfacing—along with the realities of investigating a case where memories fade, tips conflict, and key answers may still be sitting with someone who never came forward.

    Topics include:

    • The clearest known timeline of events
    • The strongest leads vs. the biggest dead ends
    • Persons of interest and recurring theories (fact vs. rumor)
    • Why this case still matters—and what could finally move it forward
    • What listeners can do responsibly if they have information

    If you care about missing persons cases, unresolved investigations, and the human cost of “unsolved,” this conversation is for you.

    If you have credible information about the Wix Girls disappearance, contact local law enforcement or the appropriate tip line.
