1
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:10.240
Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime
podcast where I tell stories of real crimes

2
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.839
with real victims, whose cases are
so shocking that many are left wondering how

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:25.239
is this even real? I use
my experiences in law enforcement corrections, and

4
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:30.039
combined with my years as a criminal
justice educator, dig deep into complex cases

5
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:51.079
of evil acts, some so evil
many feel they are unspeakable. Warning,

6
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:55.679
Unspeakable is intended for mature audiences.
If you are easily offended, then I'm

7
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.960
not your girl. Listening discretion is
advised. Hey y'all, it's kJ here.

8
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.159
What are you doing? I am
at the studio right now, and

9
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:07.280
I know you're thinking right now.
Wait a minute, I thought she said

10
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.640
she wasn't doing a release this week. Well I'm not. This is not

11
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.959
a regular release like you're expecting.
But this is something we have to talk

12
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.439
about because if you've been paying attention, I'm having a live podcast event coming

13
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.200
up at the Southeastern at Livingston Building
in Walker, Louisiana, and I've had

14
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.799
so many people go ahead and get
their tickets already. I think the sucker

15
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.760
might almost be sold out. So
if you haven't gotten your tickets running,

16
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.760
grab those. You can go on
Facebook page and I've got a link there

17
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.120
and grab them. It's gonna be
on July twenty eighth at seven pm,

18
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.280
but the doors will open it six. We are gonna have food trucks there

19
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.879
from Buddy's Barbecue, and I don't
know if you're local, you know Buddy's

20
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.480
Barbecue. It's freaking phenomenal. And
I can't have you listening to me talk

21
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.400
on an empty stomach. You need
some food in your belly. So we're

22
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.719
gonna have food there, and then
if you want to get you a little

23
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:00.480
drankie drank on, you can do
that too, because we're gonna have whiskey

24
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.959
on wheels and they'll be there to
serve you so you can partake in the

25
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.479
partee. We got themed drinks coming
up to that you're gonna hear about that

26
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:12.280
are kind of cute. So you
can eat, you can drink, then

27
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.039
you can come inside and there's gonna
be some of my merch put up there,

28
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.560
and you can buy shirts, and
you can even meet my sister.

29
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.560
Y'all, My sister's gonna be there
selling my t shirts. I know you

30
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:27.280
just she's the off brand made.
Don't tell her says she's the great value.

31
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.039
But anyway, she'll be there helping
me out. And we're gonna have

32
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.039
a bunch of special guests there too, and trust me, you will know

33
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.560
them. It's not gonna be a
special guest you you're like, who is

34
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.680
that? You will know them.
You will recognize the voices, and don't

35
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.439
be emailing me asking me who they
are. They're special and they're guests and

36
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.680
they're gonna be there. I will
also be after the show, ready and

37
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.759
available to sign autographs and take pictures
and meet everyone. I talk to so

38
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.280
many of y'all online, and it's
gonna be awesome to actually get to put

39
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.319
your face to your name, give
you a hug, and take an awesome

40
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.199
picture with you. And I'm just
I'm so stoked. I can't wait.

41
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.919
And that's gonna be until the last
person leaves. It's not going to be

42
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.560
like, you know, a five
second thing and then shuffle you out.

43
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.639
No, I want to meet you. Y'all are the reason that this dream

44
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.680
of mine is coming true, and
I want to spend some time with you

45
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.960
and get to know you. So, if you've already bought your tickets,

46
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.479
I wanted to address this. I
had a lot of people email me saying

47
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.560
what about the confirmation email. I
don't see the confirmation email for the tickets.

48
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.840
I am a woman of my word, and you will come into the

49
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:34.280
show if you purchase the tickets.
And if you are concerned and you've already

50
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.360
checked your spam or your trashmail and
you're still not seeing it, shoot an

51
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.759
email over to Jimothy. I actually
have Jimothy in here. Say hey Jimothy,

52
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.719
Hey Jimothy. He's such a dufus. He's here with me, all

53
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:51.759
right, But you can actually email
him at admin at unspeakable the podcast dot

54
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.360
com. And if you want to
verify you're on the list. It's not

55
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.879
a bother at all. Shoot him
an email, right right. And I

56
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.000
do want to say this that you're
going to get a lot of people have

57
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.680
asked about, you know, printable
tickets and things like that. About a

58
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:10.159
week before the event, you'll actually
get an email with some tickets you can

59
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:14.439
print out. But no big deal. We're gonna have a list at the

60
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.160
door, so you don't even have
to have your paper ticket. When you

61
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.920
come in, you give your name
and the amount of tickets you got,

62
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:25.720
and we'll have a list there.
We can check it off and you can

63
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.519
go right in. If you want
to verify that you're on that list and

64
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.480
you've already bought tickets, just send
email, as Kelly said to ad Men

65
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:40.560
at Unspeakable the Podcast dot com,
and I will check it off for you.

66
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.800
Yeah, So don't don't stress.
We are a no stress podcast.

67
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.319
I mean, we have too much
crime in this world to be worrying about

68
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:47.720
this list. We're gonna get you
there and you're gonna get to come in

69
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.920
no problems whatsoever. So I can't
wait to see y'all. Seriously, I'm

70
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:57.439
so tickled. Look, and I
think there's only about ten twelve tickets left,

71
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.759
if that within two and a half
three days, we're almost out of

72
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.800
ticket. So don't don't don't get
on there, y'all, get your ticket

73
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.040
and come on. It's gonna be
a lot of fun. So I want

74
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.800
to tell you a little bit about
the story so that you kind of know

75
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:14.040
what you're jumping into. It is
a very disturbing story, okay, and

76
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.879
it's it's huge. It's well known
by people in South Louisiana, and I

77
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.720
just want you to be prepared when
you come that this isn't just your run

78
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.079
of the mill. I don't want
to say run of the mill murder or

79
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.839
something like that, but this isn't
your run of the mill story. It's

80
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.600
very heartbreaking, but it needs to
be told. And I'm going to do

81
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:34.639
these victims some justice. Yes you
will, because you cannot fully understand the

82
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:41.800
loss unless you fully understand who the
victim is. Right. So I'm going

83
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.879
to be proud to tell this story
and all of it. The media missed

84
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.040
a lot, and I want to
be able to give those personal details that

85
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.600
I have right about the story.
So you're in for a good one.

86
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.279
Now something else while we're just on
this high, I'm on this train of

87
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:01.800
just happiness. Do you know that
my Pie podcast was nominated for the People's

88
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.480
Choice Podcast Awards? I mean,
I'm I hadn't even doing this a year.

89
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:15.480
Look the oldest awards available in the
entire podcast space, or the People's

90
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.040
Choice Podcast Awards. You know many
people that listen to you listen to Woody

91
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:27.399
someone that's one numerous People's Choice Podcast
Awards. He actually broke the record last

92
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:32.319
year for the most you go Woodis
and one one particular, I guess run

93
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:42.120
or annual show. So very prestigious
to be nominated in a category that Woody

94
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.639
Overton was nominated in is so I
can't even believe it. Honestly, I'm

95
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.600
like, you gotta be kidding.
I'm not surprised, Kelly Jenness, Well,

96
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:54.199
Kelly Jennings, I'm telling you,
I was just dumbfounded. I fell

97
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.800
back in my chair, like you
got to be kidding. I'm but I

98
00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:01.079
am so humbled and so honored to
just be nominated. It is huge for

99
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:09.399
me. But but now comes in
your job, listeners, because now we

100
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.439
need to make sure that I'm you
know, in the running, in a

101
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.759
stay in the running. So Jim's
gonna give y'all a little bit more about

102
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:24.519
how to vote. Greetings from the
Bluegrass State that's Kentucky. If y'all didn't

103
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.040
know, we want to tell you
about the hottest new podcast on the block,

104
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.240
Coffee and Cases. If you fancy
yourself an at home detective, if

105
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.759
you find yourself yelling at the TV
during that new true crime documentary, then

106
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:43.000
you, my friend, are a
certified sluthound just like us. On Coffee

107
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.279
and Cases podcast, you'll hear about
the missing, the murdered, and the

108
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:51.680
unsolved, but the cases you've rarely, if ever heard about. All from

109
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:58.560
the perspective of two teacher friends,
rule followers, and self proclaimed scarity cats.

110
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.040
Join me Ala and me Maggie each
week as we take on cases that

111
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:09.319
are often overlooked but are screaming for
justice. Finally, a true crime podcast

112
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.879
where you don't have to monitor the
foul language. Coffee and Cases is a

113
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:18.240
true crime guilty pleasure that you don't
actually have to feel guilty about. Check

114
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.560
out Coffee and Cases every Thursday for
a new episode on your favorite podcasting app.

115
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.399
Let me give you some details on
that. First of all, the

116
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.720
way that the podcast awards works and
why Kelly is so excited about this,

117
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:45.360
why I particularly love this particular podcast
awards ceremony is it's voted on by the

118
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.799
people, i e. The People's
Choice. That's why they call it that.

119
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.440
And y'all are the listeners. It's
users. It's not a panel that

120
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.120
sits down that picks their favorite podcast. It is strictly voted on by the

121
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.399
listeners. And there's some things that
you have to do as listeners to get

122
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:07.200
your favorite podcast in the running and
in the actual awards bracket. Okay,

123
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:13.519
so basically the way this works is
you get nominated, then you're in kind

124
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.159
of the running. Kelly was nominated, so she is now in the running

125
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.320
for a People's Choice Podcast Award with
the other true crime podcast. I think

126
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.600
there's like twenty more or nineteen more
that are in that running. So what

127
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.279
you're what you're voting for right now
is to put Kelly in the finals.

128
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:37.120
They have like a basically a top
ten slate and that slate will be announced

129
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:43.519
August sixth, So the voting for
the People's Choice Podcast Awards is going on

130
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.720
right now, right now until July
thirty first, So you have until July

131
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.879
thirty first to go and vote in. What you're gonna do, You're gonna

132
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.840
go to the website, which is
UH Podcast Awards dot com, so it's

133
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.799
www dot Podcast Awards dot com.
When you get there, you're going to

134
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:13.039
have to register, So basically,
you put in your your email address and

135
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.399
make sure you're use an email address
that you check frequently because you're gonna have

136
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.360
to verify. They'll send you an
email for verification purposes. If you don't

137
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.000
verify through that email, then your
vote will not count. And the reason

138
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.679
they do that they've had a lot
of problems in the past with people manipulating

139
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.120
those Podcast Awards. Now they made
it virtually impossible, so you have to

140
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.080
verify. You're going to enter your
name, your email, your password,

141
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.279
and you'll confirm the password, and
then you'll click the button that's basically saying,

142
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.200
would you like to be considered as
a voter for the final round.

143
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:56.279
Very important that you click that button. The reason for that is if,

144
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.279
if, and when Kelly makes that
final slate of ten and they're going to

145
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.960
send out random emails to people that
click that button, and they're gonna let

146
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:11.000
you vote for who you consider the
best true crime podcast in Kelly's case,

147
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.000
and you will have to vote again
if you're considered, if you're lucky enough

148
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:22.279
to be one of the people that
gets that final email, So very important

149
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.840
that you click that button. Now, you're also gonna it's gonna ask you

150
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:31.799
who your favorite or who your biggest
podcast influencer was. Put Kelly Jennings in

151
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.759
that box. Any podcaster in the
world can be put in that box.

152
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:41.200
Put Kelly Jennings by name in that
box, and then you select whether you're

153
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.879
a listener, a podcaster, or
both. If you're someone who listens to

154
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.720
podcast, you're obviously a listener.
You would check that box, and then

155
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.039
you're gonna go to another page,
and that page is going to show a

156
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.840
bunch of categories you can vote for. If you want to vote in some

157
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.840
other categories. If you listen to
other podcasts, that's fine. When you

158
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.360
when you see best True Crime Podcast, you're gonna click the menu and it's

159
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:09.240
gonna pull up twenty podcasts or so. One of those. As a matter

160
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.360
of fact, it's the very last
one, because Unspeakable starts with you save

161
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.200
the best for last, the best
for last. You'll see Unspeakable, a

162
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.360
true crime podcast by Kelly Jennings.
You highlight that you don't have to vote

163
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.600
in all the categories. If you
just want to vote for Kelly and you

164
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.360
don't want to vote in any other
category, than at that point you would

165
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:33.480
save that vote and that's it.
That's all you have to do. And

166
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:39.320
then at that point, at the
end of all of this, that'll announce

167
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.960
the final slate on August six,
and hopefully Kelly will be up there because

168
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:48.759
all her wonderful people voted for Kelly
for Best True Crime Podcast. Or just

169
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.919
make sure so important you confirm in
the email sent to you by the Podcast

170
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.919
Awards that you confirm that email address. If you don't do that, your

171
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.600
vote will not count. Kelly's also
gonna put together something that you can see

172
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.480
on Facebook that kind of walks you
through how to do everything. She'll do

173
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.120
that in the next few days.
When you see that, please share that.

174
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.399
And we're trying to get as many
people as possible to vote for Kelly.

175
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:22.080
She sure has earned it and does
great work so well. I really

176
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.879
appreciate that everyone who helps and supports
the show, the listeners, everyone,

177
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.279
you're the difference, yea, and
without you this can't happen. So I'm

178
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.120
really hoping that you'll come through for
me. And it's something that means so

179
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.639
much to my heart, and I
want to thank everyone for listening to this

180
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:43.840
short little episode. Do know next
week part two of the Gary Ploche story

181
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:50.120
will drop. It is awesome.
It is like Mike Droppable, so get

182
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.000
ready for that. You know,
the kids might say it's off the chain,

183
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.960
off the chain, no cat straight
busting. If you have a teenager

184
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.039
in the car right now, they're
cringing. I see you teenagers, all

185
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.879
right, So hey, do what
you can do for me. If not,

186
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.600
hey, I appreciate you. Know
you listening and doing and supporting my

187
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.039
show no matter what happens, and
it's all because of you. And I've

188
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.360
got more shout outs coming, Jim. I got like a whole bunch of

189
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.919
new patrons. I see that.
I know, like what in the world

190
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.279
I have friends. Look, and
I'm gonna tell you what. Kelly works

191
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:26.039
so hard and without those supporters,
none of this is free, none of

192
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:31.679
this is easy. And I know
that you know you're so appreciative of your

193
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.000
patrons. I hear about it all
the time. Every time she gets once

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.200
she calls me, dude, I'm
like, look at my mother patrons.

195
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:43.080
