1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.319
Hey, folks, we got a lot of topics to cover

2
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:07.480
today in the world of crime. In Louisiana, a man

3
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:12.240
robs the same Baton Rouge bank that he robbed eleven

4
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.399
years ago. A wild story coming out of the Bayou State.

5
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.559
And Florida, Donna Adelson his sentence for her role in

6
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.320
the murder of her former son in law. In California,

7
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.440
a playboy model is on the run after being sought

8
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:32.880
for a string of high end burglaries. In Arkansas, a

9
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.719
man whose trial for second degree murder is three months away,

10
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.320
he just announced he's running for sheriff. And guess what

11
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.960
he's likely gonna win. We're going to be talking about

12
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.840
that one. In Pennsylvania, a woman is in prison for

13
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.960
get ready for it, loud sex. These stories and more

14
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.399
we're coming at you today on Crime Wire Weekly. I'm

15
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.679
Jim Chapman and I'm Kelly. I bet you didn't expect

16
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:03.520
that last one, Kelly Jennis.

17
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:04.200
I was not ready.

18
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.840
It's a fact. It happens in the United States of America.

19
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.239
Well, God bless her loud sex.

20
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:18.719
Listen, you heard it here first many ways more than one.

21
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.319
We're silly this morning, y'all. I don't know what it is.

22
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.120
It's we woke up. It was pretty beautiful outside in

23
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:26.239
South Louisiana.

24
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:26.959
It's so cool.

25
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.319
Yeah, sixty two degrees when I woke up this morning.

26
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:31.079
We'll take it.

27
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.799
We will take it. Now we're going to get into

28
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.719
today's stories. But before we do, Kelly has a little

29
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.159
announcement to make, and she's looking at me like I

30
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.680
have three heads because she has no idea what we're

31
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.359
about to announce. But Kelly, you got a series coming up?

32
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.760
Do you not? Unspeakable? A True crime.

33
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.319
Podcast by Kelly jens I do, and y'all, I have

34
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.000
been working my butt off to make sure that this

35
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:03.799
is the most detailed, in your face storytelling of South

36
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.959
Louisiana serial killer Derek Toddley.

37
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.800
It is probably the most requested case that she gets,

38
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:12.960
or one of the most requested for sure to cover.

39
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.919
And this is going to be different than anything you've

40
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.120
ever heard out of Unspeakable, a true crime podcast by

41
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.319
Kelly Jennings, and that is very highly produced. We even

42
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.800
outsourced some production for this one. Not that Jim Chapman

43
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.080
couldn't handle it, but you know, got a lot of

44
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.240
irons in that fire sometimes, so we outsourced some of

45
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:40.439
the production side of what is going on with this

46
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.319
particular podcast, And we've got a treat for you today.

47
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.599
Right now, you're going to hear the trailer for what Kelly,

48
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.520
what are we calling it? DTL DTL. Here it is.

49
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.439
In the sultry heat of Louisiana, where the bayous whisper

50
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.680
secrets and the air hangs heavy with the scent of magnolias,

51
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.080
a darkness lurked beneath the surface. Derrick Todd Lee was

52
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.759
a man whose charm masked a sinister reality. He was

53
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.199
a monster. Lee, a seemingly ordinary man with a disarming smile,

54
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.080
led a double life that would unravel in a series

55
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.680
of murders in the capital city of Baton Rouge and

56
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.400
the surrounding areas. As the first reports of disappearances and

57
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:33.719
murders began to surface, South Louisiana was thrust into a nightmare,

58
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:37.599
igniting a frantic search for answers. The true horror was

59
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.879
just beginning, and the hunt for a serial killer eventually

60
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.599
known by just three letters, would reveal not only the

61
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:47.120
depths of Dereck Todd Lee's depravity, but also the resilience

62
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.080
of those most affected by his evil acts, the families,

63
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.080
and the survivors. This is DTL.

64
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.159
So there you have it. Get ready for it. It's

65
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:05.800
headed your way, right, Kelly.

66
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:10.080
That's right. And listen, every victim matters, Every single victim matters,

67
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.599
and so the series is going to give each victim

68
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.759
their moment and so we can learn all about them

69
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.199
and everything that happened in their specific circumstance. So I

70
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.199
hope that y'all will come along for the ride and

71
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:21.360
that you really enjoy the series.

72
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.399
That's right, and that will be headed your way November third,

73
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.639
the first episode of that series drop. So let's get

74
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.720
into the crime related headlines for today, and we're going

75
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.959
to start off in Louisiana. Shout out, and I'm going

76
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.560
to tell you about a Zachary man who held up

77
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.120
a region's bank at gunpoint earlier this year, only to

78
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.839
have his plans foiled by a pair of good Samaritans. Well,

79
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.399
he had his pleading with the State of Louisiana on

80
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:56.000
felony charges Tuesday morning, and this was inside of a

81
00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:01.480
Baton Rouge Federal courtroom. Quarrels Harris, who is fifty two

82
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.800
and are police to charges a bank robbery, possession of

83
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.959
a firearm and using, carrying, possessing, and brandishing a firearm

84
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.360
during or related to the furtherance of a violent crime.

85
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.319
So those are called enhancements. And with those enhancements, he's

86
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.959
facing up to forty seven years in federal lockup on

87
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.439
the charges. If the judge determines he had three prior

88
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.519
convictions for violent crimes, well guess what life sentence on

89
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.839
those three strike laws? And so he had a gun

90
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.959
in his possession while being a convicted felon, which is

91
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.120
yet another charge. Now, Harris's charges stem from a May

92
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.079
eighth robbery at a Region's bank branch on Sherreo Force

93
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.720
Boulevard and Batton Ruage. He stole twenty eight hundred dollars

94
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:52.920
from tellers after holding employees and customers at gunpoint inside

95
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.639
that bank. But here's the wild thing about this story.

96
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.680
It was a second time Harris had robbed that Kler bank.

97
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.800
Well, he likes to bank. In one little he.

98
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:07.560
Walked into the exact same Regions bank in April of

99
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.079
twenty fourteen, pointed a gun at a pair of tellers

100
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.600
and told them, quote, you know what time it is,

101
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.920
give up the money. I mean, you know, that's a

102
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.040
pretty smooth way to rob a bank. You know what

103
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.240
time it is? Yeah, I do with that gun? Boyt

104
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.839
it an't me. I know what you want. Harris pleaded

105
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.319
guilty to first agree robbery in that case. This was

106
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.439
in twenty fifteen. He was sentenced to ten years in

107
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.079
prison for that robbery. So in this most recent robbery,

108
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.160
he stole a two thousand and eight Honda Civic. I

109
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.240
might would have picked a quicker car to still, but

110
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.000
he steals that Honda Civic that he noticed idling in

111
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.240
a driveway near his home. He lived in Zachary. This

112
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.519
was on May eighth. He drove the stolen car two

113
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.120
Regions Bank and walked in the bank. This is just

114
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.439
after ten am, wearing a purple LSU sweatshirt. I mean

115
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.959
he's gotta fly his colors, right. He lingered around in

116
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.360
the lobby near the deposit slips for several minutes until

117
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.399
the teller called him to her window. He then pulled

118
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.120
out a twenty two caliber pistol and a black bag

119
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.560
and demanded money, ordering the teller to quote, give me

120
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:17.519
everything you got.

121
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:19.800
He must have watched a movie or two as a kid.

122
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:22.639
He must have, so he didn't say, what you know

123
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:24.480
what time it is this time, that's what I was

124
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.399
disappointed about. He told the teller she had three seconds

125
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.759
to give him the money and threaten to shoot her

126
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.639
if she put a die pack in the bag. The

127
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.560
teller didn't have any cash in her drawer, so she

128
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.560
begins collecting money from a drive through counter. Harris noticed

129
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.240
the teller in the next lane counting out cash for

130
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.839
another customer, and he bumps that customer out of the way,

131
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.079
and he begins waving and pointing his gun at customers

132
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:52.439
and employees. Then reached over the counter and snatch the

133
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:56.240
cash out of the second drawer. The customer that Harris

134
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.279
knocks out of the way. He noticed the gun was

135
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:02.480
positioned betwe qween Harris and the counter, and Harris wasn't

136
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.680
really paying attention to the gun, so the customer grabbed

137
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.879
the gun. He wrestles Harris to the ground. He managed

138
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.959
to dislodge the weapon from Harris's hands. Another customer picked

139
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.680
up the gun and then slid it across the floor.

140
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.639
The bank employee then called nine to one one and

141
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.920
reported the robbery. During the scuffle and after they disarmed Harris,

142
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.360
the customer wrestled with him on the floor in the

143
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:29.480
bank's lobby for about seven minutes until police arrived and

144
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.000
took him into custody. That's a while, yeah, to be

145
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.960
on the ground. Yeah, so he must have been you know,

146
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.600
he must have been someone who could handle himself. So,

147
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.799
standing in a West Batterye jail jumpsuit, Harris was subdued

148
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.840
as he answered the judges questions during the hearing, and

149
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.279
the assistant US attorney read the allegations out loud in

150
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.600
the courtroom. The judge asked Harris if he agreed those

151
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.279
were the facts, and he basically said, it's all true.

152
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.039
So you didn't even deny. You know what time it is?

153
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.960
Judge said, you know what time? Oh yeah, prison time now.

154
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.759
Earlier in the preceding, the judge asked Harris if he

155
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.440
was satisfied with the representation he received during the case,

156
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.440
and Harris was very complimentary, and he said, she's been

157
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.639
the greatest person I've ever met as far as an

158
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:21.799
attorney is concerned. And he's met several attorneys in his time.

159
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:23.960
He knows how to compare them.

160
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.960
That's right. And his public defender incidentally, was Marcy Blaze.

161
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.799
Well, way to go, Marcy Blaze. You have been a

162
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.480
good representation of the people.

163
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.679
You come highly recommended from mister Harris, and he knows

164
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:39.720
what time it is, so.

165
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.440
I'm I mean a criminal, but he only got a

166
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.600
couple thou I mean, why would you rob it in

167
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.440
the early morning hours. I would want to do the

168
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.600
robbery towards the end of the day when there's more

169
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.840
money hopefully.

170
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.279
I mean, you know bank robbers, well, I guess some

171
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.159
of them don't think it out. He seems like he

172
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:00.399
was someone that did things kind of sporadically and on

173
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:02.799
the spurt of the moment. Because he steals the Honda

174
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.320
Civic that was idling. I doubt he woke up that

175
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:06.799
day and said, I'm going to go look for a

176
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.480
car idling he got out of his house.

177
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:10.159
Opportunity.

178
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.879
Look at that somebody somebody's letting their air conditioner room

179
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.440
while they're inside grabbing their booksack or something, and I'm

180
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.279
going to take this and go rob it back. But

181
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:19.519
the same bank.

182
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.200
No, that's the curse the Hodific though, because I had

183
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.039
one in high school and she got me everywhere I

184
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:24.519
needed to be.

185
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.519
Yeah, No, I ain't hating on Honna Civics, but I'm

186
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.559
hating on him for bank robberies. I mean, you know,

187
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:32.159
get you get.

188
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.519
You know what come it is? You know what is stylish?

189
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.440
Jesus Christ, you got run to Pope.

190
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.440
Actually you actually just need to make sure you can

191
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.679
out fight everyone in the lobby. Yeah, Carby Damp, no doubt.

192
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.840
That is a freaking g you know, a gash you

193
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.320
would be after seven minutes.

194
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:53.519
That's a lot which you're with your adrenaline and and everything.

195
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:55.600
So yeah, shout out to him. Didn't say his name,

196
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.360
but shout out to you. You know, you know you are,

197
00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:57.840
you know what.

198
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.960
Is Take that trophy? All right? So now let's go

199
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.279
to Arkansas where an Arkansas father who allegedly killed a

200
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.759
man he found in a truck with his teenage daughter

201
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.840
is now running for sheriff. Aaron Spencer, who's thirty seven,

202
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.759
announced his plan to run for Lone County Sheriff on

203
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:18.559
his campaign's Facebook page Friday, October the tenth. Spencer, who

204
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.039
was charged with second degree murder, is scheduled to stand

205
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.799
trial in January of twenty twenty six. He is accused

206
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:28.799
of fatally shooting Michael Fossler on October eighth, twenty twenty four.

207
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.320
The shooting occurred after the military veteran allegedly found his

208
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:34.840
fourteen year old daughter in a truck with a sixty

209
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.879
seven year old man. And if you remember we covered

210
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.039
this previously when this first broke we did, yeah, so,

211
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:44.879
Spencer allegedly told police that Fossler kidnapped his daughter and

212
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.720
lunged towards him when he ordered him out of the truck.

213
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.559
He told police he had no choice. At the time

214
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.000
of the shooting, Fossler was facing multiple charges, including Internet

215
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.039
stalking of a child, sexual assault, sexual indecency with the child,

216
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.600
and possession of child pornography. I'm the father who acted

217
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.559
to protect his daughter when the system failed, Spencer said

218
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.159
in the one minute Facebook video, and through my own

219
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.080
fight for justice, I have seen firsthand the failures in

220
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.879
law enforcement and in our circuit court. I refuse to

221
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:17.320
stand by while others face these same failures. Spencer said

222
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.440
his campaign to run for sheriff of the department that

223
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:23.480
arrested him isn't about me. It's about every parent, every neighbor,

224
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.360
every family who deserves to feel safe in their homes

225
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.120
and safe in their community. He said, It's about restoring

226
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.000
trust where neighbors know law enforcement is on their side

227
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:34.600
and families know that they will not be left alone

228
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:36.000
in a moment of need.

229
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:40.120
Yeah, and look, I don't know how much people have

230
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.480
followed that story. I can tell you it's one of

231
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:47.159
the top requested stories that for Exposed I get right

232
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:53.000
now is to cover this particular case, very very crazy case.

233
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.960
And look, this guy's probably gonna win. Sheriff. Well, the

234
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.919
first time I've ever heard of someone charged with second green.

235
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.639
And I'm not gonna say I'm mad at it.

236
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.559
I'm not either. I mean, obviously, this guy's been a

237
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.519
repeat offender to multiple people, multiple families, because he was

238
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:11.480
already you know, under the scope for other things that

239
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.919
he's done. Sex offenders are known statistically not be able

240
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:21.600
to be rehabilitated. So he rehabilitated him for him. Yeah,

241
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.960
and he stopped him. And this is the thing, you know,

242
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:27.039
whenever they go to court on this one, and this

243
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.360
is why. And again I don't have every single detail

244
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.879
of the case. I just have what's been released in

245
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.720
the media. But even if you're the law if you're

246
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:36.200
the law enforcement officer responding to the scene, you know,

247
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:40.559
your perception of the events is everything. Whenever a law

248
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:44.039
enforcement shooting, you know, an officer shoots somebody, your perception

249
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.519
doesn't always have to be accurate. It's just you have

250
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.519
to prove that what you perceived to be the threat

251
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.559
was actually, you know, what you thought was going to happen,

252
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:55.960
if that makes sense. And this dad, I remember in

253
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.159
our previous coverage of this thought that the guy when

254
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:00.399
he launched, thought that he had a weapon that he

255
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:02.960
was pulling. And so I just I'm not sure why

256
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:03.639
the charges.

257
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:08.960
Well, I understand the look, anytime someone's killed, there's gonna

258
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.279
be charges brought and they're gonna leave it up to

259
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.320
a judge and a jury to the side.

260
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.039
But this was an active I mean, his child. I

261
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.159
guess it wasn't an active kidnapping though, was it. I

262
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.320
don't remember. Because the girl was taken from the home

263
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.840
and in the car of this guy. This to me

264
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:27.440
is just gonna be it is what it is. I

265
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:30.799
get you go through the through the you know, due process.

266
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.320
Yeah, yeah, you have to. I mean, because the guy

267
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.039
was he's not denying he killed the guy. He's just

268
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.960
saying the guy lunched at him. There's there's no video,

269
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.480
so it's they're gonna have to try that through the system.

270
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:45.759
Because just because the guy says that's what happened doesn't

271
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.440
necessarily mean it happened. I believe him, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

272
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:51.679
But I'm saying they're gonna an officer is not gonna

273
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.000
bear that responsibility. He's gonna bring it to a district

274
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.159
attorney and say, uh, you decide whether this guy needs

275
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:03.120
to be charged. And the district attorney would rather charge

276
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.480
him and have a jury find him not guilty than

277
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.559
when you're dealing with a murder. Yeah, just let the

278
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.240
guy roll. But I can tell you the entire state

279
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.360
of Arkansas right now's eyes are on this case. It's

280
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:17.840
the biggest case in Arkansas well.

281
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:21.080
And obviously to me, if he's able to even put

282
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.840
his hat, you know, in the in the run for sheriff,

283
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.559
he must not have a criminal record. This father and

284
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:27.320
the way this.

285
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:30.360
Guy was a war hero, and look he did what

286
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:31.600
most fathers would have done.

287
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:33.679
Yeah, I expect that. I hate to say that, but

288
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:35.639
I expect at the point that a sixty seven year

289
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.519
old man has taken my fourteen year old daughter, he's

290
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.720
a known sex offender. There's no question in my mind

291
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.320
as a parent that that's not.

292
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:42.519
Good, no doubt about it.

293
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:42.919
There we go.

294
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.679
I agree with you. All right, Let's go to Mississippi

295
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.720
and a Mississippi man convicted of kidnapping, raping, and killing

296
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.759
a twenty year old community college student. He is set

297
00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:58.799
to be executed. Actually this would have occurred two days ago,

298
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.879
but luck we are in real time right now when

299
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:06.480
we're recording this, so he's been executed by this point.

300
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.399
But I'm going to tell you what led to this.

301
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.399
Charles Crawford, fifty nine, has been on death row for

302
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.639
more than thirty years. The scheduled lethal injection, which was

303
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.279
surprising because a lot of states are going away from

304
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.840
lethal injection having problems getting the drugs. Apparently Mississippi was

305
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.519
able to do. That comes several months after the execution

306
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.279
of Mississippi's longest serving death row inmate in a year

307
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:35.759
of increasing executions, Nach Wide. Crawford was convicted of abducting

308
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:39.679
Christy Ray from her parents' home in northern Mississippi. This

309
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:43.399
was on January twenty ninth of nineteen ninety three, when

310
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.600
Ray's mother came home her daughter was gone and a

311
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.879
handwritten ransom note had been left on the table. The

312
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:54.159
same day, a different ransom note made from magazine cutouts

313
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:57.320
and concerning a woman named Jennifer was found in the

314
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:01.080
attic of Crawford's former father in law. The note was

315
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.079
turned over to law enforcement, who began searching for Crawford.

316
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.880
He was arrested a day later and said he was

317
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.200
returning from a hunting trump. He later told authorities he

318
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.039
blacked out and did not recall killing Ray. That is

319
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.400
so convenient, so convenient. At the time of his arrest,

320
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.200
Crawford was days away from going to trial on a

321
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:22.559
separate assault charge that stemmed from an attack in nineteen

322
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:25.880
ninety one in which Crawford was accused of raping a

323
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.680
seventeen year old girl and hitting her friend with a hammer.

324
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.920
Despite his assertions that he had experienced blackouts and did

325
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.039
not remember committing either rape or the hammer attack, Crawford

326
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.039
was found guilty of both charges and two separate trials.

327
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.359
His prior rape conviction was considered an aggravating circumstance by

328
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.440
jurors in Crawford's capital murder trial for race killing, paving

329
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:53.799
the way for his death sentence. Over the past three decades,

330
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:58.359
Crawford tried unsuccessfully to overturn that death sentence. His lawyers

331
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:01.759
are currently appealing to the US Supreme Court, arguing that

332
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.119
Crawford should be granted a new trial because the six

333
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:09.480
Amendment rights were violated in his nineteen ninety four trial.

334
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.240
And it goes through I'm not going to read all this,

335
00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:14.599
but it goes through all these appeals that he's made

336
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:19.079
that they all make when they're getting sentenced to death. Now,

337
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:21.880
the plain lethal injection was to be the third in

338
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.039
two days in the United States, after executions Tuesday in

339
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:28.960
Florida and Missouri. A total of thirty seven men have

340
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:33.079
died by court ordered execution so far this year in

341
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:38.359
the United States. So there you have that, and they're

342
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:44.119
really rolling out these executions now nationwide after several years of.

343
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:49.200
Not being able to really if you can, and then

344
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.279
there was some moratoriums and things that had happened, and

345
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:56.440
just you know, there's nothing. I think it'd be crazy too.

346
00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:58.559
Sometimes I find people like, hell, yeah, execute them all.

347
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:02.799
I mean, as a human being, I think that justice

348
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:05.119
must be served, But I will never be excited about

349
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:08.039
somebody's execution. I find that kind of bizarre. When people

350
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:11.400
are that, you know, callous, and that's why they get

351
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:14.960
all these And again, I'm not airing on the side

352
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:16.640
of the guy here. I'm just saying what he did

353
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:18.799
at those victims was callous. But I think this is

354
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.319
how we distinguish ourselves from these monsters. You know that

355
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.680
we weigh and we measure. And that's why I took

356
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:27.200
thirty years, is because they wanted to give every chance

357
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:31.640
possible to look through this case. But and that respect,

358
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:36.400
good riddance, because you're a predator, right and nobody was

359
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.640
safe around you. Yeah, no, good, all right. Now we're

360
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.400
gonna go to Georgia, where a professor and mother of

361
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:46.799
three children was fatally shot by her roommate who mistook

362
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.720
her for an intruder. Erica Anderson, thirty one years old,

363
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:53.920
died in a shooting in Columbus, Georgia that authorities have

364
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:58.000
deemed accidental. Anderson had returned home just after midnight on Monday,

365
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:01.640
October thirteenth from a with her husband and kids, who

366
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:05.039
are living in Indiana. Coroner Buddy Brian said that Anderson's

367
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:08.440
roommate had received alleged terroristic threats from her son, so

368
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:10.799
when she heard a noise while she slept, she picked

369
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.480
up a gun and fired two shots. The second bullet

370
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:16.519
struck Anderson. You have to think about the roommate that

371
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:19.799
shot her. Brian reportedly said, I'm sure she's devastated, as

372
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:23.359
anyone would be under the circumstances. Anderson had begun work

373
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:26.160
as a lecturer in costumes in the Department of Theater

374
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.599
and Dance at Columbus State University in August. Prior to

375
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:32.880
her current role, she taught costumes at Southern Utah University

376
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.920
and the University of Florida. She has worked professionally in

377
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.160
theaters and opera houses across the US, such as the

378
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:44.680
Sarasota Opera and Utah Shakespeare Theater, and backstage for iatsee

379
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:47.480
on touring Broadway shows. She sounds like she was a

380
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:51.359
really talented woman based on what we're hearing here. Anderson's

381
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.079
husband is currently undergoing cancer treatment. Erica had just started

382
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.839
this semester at Columbus State University as a professor in

383
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:00.720
the theater department. She was so passionate about her work

384
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.440
and her students, and she was truly excited about building

385
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.480
her future with the university community. She had already come

386
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:07.920
to love and.

387
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:15.240
I'm yeah, obviously, an accidental shooting horrible. The timing on

388
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:21.039
that it was apparently the estrange son of her roommate

389
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:26.359
that was upsetting the roommate, and I guess she thought

390
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:27.839
her son was going to come in there and do

391
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:31.039
something to her. I don't know, but she was. Probably

392
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:33.559
No one feels worse than her. But maybe this happens

393
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:35.200
more often than people think.

394
00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:40.480
Hey, look I have a friend that her friend. Okay,

395
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:42.160
so this isn't my personal friend, but we were talking

396
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:43.680
one day and she's like, you're not gonna believe what happened.

397
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.640
I said, what happened. Her friend went on a bachelorette

398
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:50.920
trip to like Biloxi or something like that. Well, while

399
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:53.319
they were on the bachelorette trip, one of the bridesmaids

400
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.119
who was pregnant, went into labor. So since she had

401
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:57.920
to go have the baby, all the bride they decided, look,

402
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.119
we're all going to go back home and then we'll

403
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:02.720
I guess, reconvene and do this at another time. So

404
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:06.200
she came back home. Her husband was not expecting her back,

405
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:09.279
and when she came in the house, he lit her up.

406
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:14.920
He shot her multiple but she lived, thank god, I know,

407
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.200
and they're still married from what I understand. So I'm like, oh,

408
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.960
you would never win a fight with me. But again,

409
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:23.000
if you shot me multiple.

410
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:29.160
Times, yeah, that's that's a very scary situation. And look,

411
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:31.480
it happens. Kids come home late at night and their

412
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:34.519
parents maybe don't expect them, and it's happened. It's your

413
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:37.799
sad situation. You need to really make sure you see

414
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.319
who it is you're shooting before you shoot. Imagine how

415
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:42.519
scared that can happen.

416
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:44.759
Yeah, and imagine how scared that roommate must have been

417
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:46.599
to think that she needed to shoot like her son

418
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:47.200
must be A.

419
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:50.559
Yeah, apparently.

420
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:53.480
All right, let's hey, let's pray for all of them

421
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:56.039
and say that even the because these kids now their

422
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:58.440
dad has cancer and their mom is deceased. So in

423
00:22:58.559 --> 00:22:59.400
praiers to that family.

424
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.200
All right, let's go to back to Louisiana and we're

425
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:06.079
going to go to New Orleans this time. And I'm

426
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.559
gonna tell you a story that when I came across this,

427
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:11.519
I'm like, man, this is why I'm not a correctional officer.

428
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.240
Right here, a New Orleans man serving time at the

429
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:20.519
BB sixty Rayburn a correctional Center, has been sentenced to

430
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:23.839
life in prison. And you know, not gonna believe what

431
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:25.759
he did to get it. And I was actually shocked

432
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.359
that he got life in prison for this, although I

433
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:34.160
do uh, I do understand it. So he assaulted a

434
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:40.319
correctional officer with human feces. Judge William Garris sentenced thirty

435
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:43.839
seven year old to Marcus Porter uh after a jury

436
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:48.240
convicted him a battery of a correctional officer. Testimony showed

437
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.759
that during a security round at Rayburn, a correctional officer

438
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:56.160
gave instructions to Porter, who ignored the order. Instead, Porter

439
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.839
reached into his toilet, grabbed a handful of feet and

440
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.119
flung it at the officer, striking him in the face,

441
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:08.119
arm and leg and y'all in the industry they call

442
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:12.119
that gassing an officer. A second officer was also hitting

443
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:16.279
the head and shoulder before staff subdued Porter. At the time,

444
00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.960
Porter was serving a twenty year sentence stemming from eight

445
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:25.720
convictions in five separate Ordleans Parish cases, including manslaughter, second

446
00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:31.240
degree battery, aggravated battery, and bringing contraband into a penal institution.

447
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:35.039
Say not a nice guy, right. His manslaughter conviction was

448
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:39.240
originally indicted as a second degree murder charge after a

449
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:43.920
German woman visiting New Orleans was reported missing Her decomposed

450
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:48.640
body was later found in Armstrong Park with her throat slash.

451
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.680
In addition to these offenses, Porter had prior convictions for

452
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:57.599
aggravated sexual battery and just a ton of other battery convictions,

453
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:03.640
multiple contraband violations. But you threw shit in a CEO's

454
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:06.920
face and he turned twenty years into life.

455
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.359
Well I wonder if he had disease. You know, that's

456
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:11.359
obviously gonna be the first thing that I would want

457
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:14.200
to know. But I have walked on a tier. I

458
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:17.480
have walked on a tier, well actually not even on it,

459
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:20.160
near it while they were cleaning it after a huge

460
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:25.599
gassing incident. Shit was splattered on TVs, on walls, and

461
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:28.680
it smelled all to be damned. Sure, that is the

462
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:32.920
most disgusting and vile thing. And clearly this dude's an animal.

463
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:34.680
I'm looking at his picture right now too. Don't even

464
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:36.880
look nice. And that's judgy, but hey, here I am.

465
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:40.880
But yeah, I don't think society's missing much by this

466
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:42.119
guy not being out on the loose.

467
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:48.519
Yeah, he wasn't very you know, very upstaining citizen to

468
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.799
start with, apparently, and so life in prison for him.

469
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.640
Now, see you later, Alligator speaking of alligators, Let's go

470
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.720
to Florida, all right now. According to the Usattorney's Office

471
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.799
for the Central District of California, on the night of

472
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.519
December thirty first, twenty twenty four, twenty nine year old

473
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.200
Jonathan Rinderneck worked as shift as an Uber driver and

474
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.119
drove two passengers on separate trips between ten fifteen pm

475
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:19.279
and eleven fifteen pm. The passengers reportedly told authorities they

476
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:24.319
remembered that Rinderneck appeared agitated and angry. Rinderneck, who formerly

477
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.279
lived in the area, allegedly dropped off a passenger in

478
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:29.359
Pacific Palisades. And I know right now, you said, wait

479
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:31.720
a minute, I thought were going to Florida. Just hang

480
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:35.160
in there with me for a second here California, right, well,

481
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.680
it'll make sense, okay, But dropped off a passenger in

482
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.240
Pacific Palisades before driving towards Skull Rock trailhead there, he

483
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:45.880
purportedly tried to contact a former friend, walked up the trail,

484
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:49.039
took videos with his iPhone, and listened to a rap song,

485
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:53.240
which prosecutors said he had listened to repeatedly in previous days.

486
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.680
The music video included things like being lit on fire,

487
00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.640
at approximately twelve twelve am on January first, The US

488
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.920
Atorney Office said that the Lackman fire began. Rinder Neeck

489
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.759
reportedly called nine one one several times during the next

490
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:08.319
five minutes, but didn't get through because his cell phone

491
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.279
was out of range. He eventually connected with dispatchers at

492
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:13.839
the bottom of the hiking trail and reported the flames,

493
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:16.240
but by that time and an individual in the area

494
00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:19.759
had already told authorities about the fire. Prosecutors alleged that

495
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:23.160
rinder Neck drove off, passing fire engines driving in the

496
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:27.160
opposite directions. He reportedly turned around and followed the fire

497
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:30.759
engines to the scene, driving at a high rate of speed. Allegedly,

498
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:32.920
rnder Neck went up to the same trail he did

499
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.920
earlier and observed the fire and firefighters, taking more videos

500
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.480
with his cell phone. According to the US Attorney's Office,

501
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:44.039
in an interview on January twenty fourth, Reinerneck lied about

502
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:46.920
his whereabouts to authorities when he first observed the fire,

503
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.559
claiming he was near the bottom of the trail when

504
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:51.799
he initially saw the fire and called nine one one.

505
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:57.240
Investigators reportedly obtained geolocation data from Reinderneck's cell phone revealing

506
00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.440
that he was standing in a clearing thirty feet from

507
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.160
the fire as it rapidly grew. Authorities said the Palisades

508
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.440
fire was a holdover fire, which is a continuation of

509
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:09.279
the Lackman Fire that began early in the morning of

510
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:13.079
New Year's Day twenty twenty five. Firefighters purportedly suppressed the

511
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:16.799
Lackman fire, but unbeknownst to anyone, the fire continued to

512
00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:20.720
smolder and burn underground within the root structure of dense vegetation.

513
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:24.839
On October eighth, federal prosecutors announced that Riinderneck, who is

514
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:27.839
now living in Florida, was arrested on a charge of

515
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:31.599
destruction of property by means of fire. Reinderneck faces a

516
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:34.880
mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison and

517
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:38.119
a statutory maximum sentence of twenty years in federal prison

518
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:42.160
if he's convicted. Acting US Attorney Bill Esselay said the

519
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:46.240
complaint alleges that a single person's recklessness caused one of

520
00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:49.599
the worst fires in Los Angeles has ever seen, resulting

521
00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:54.119
in the death and widespread destruction in Pacific Palisades. While

522
00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:56.759
we cannot bring back what victims lost, we hope this

523
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:59.759
criminal case brings some measure of justice to those affected

524
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:03.799
by this horrific tragedy. Special Agent in Charge Kenny Cooper

525
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:07.720
of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Los

526
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.839
Angeles Field Division added the horrific loss and life, life

527
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.359
and property was significantly felt by ATF members, and we

528
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.559
are honored to utilize our expertise to provide answers to

529
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.680
this community. We remain committed to serving with integrity and distinction.

530
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:25.680
Yeah, and just to give you an idea of how

531
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.880
bad that fire was, y'all, and the fact that this

532
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:34.839
was essentially started by a guy and a lighter, which

533
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:40.319
is so crazy. Sixty eight hundred structures burned to the ground,

534
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:44.799
twelve people were killed, one hundred and five thousand people

535
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:52.400
were evacuated, and twenty four thousand acres were burned, all

536
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:58.279
because of this jackass. And you know, we talk a

537
00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:01.119
lot on this show and on our our own crime

538
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:05.640
podcast about the fact that Google has become a very

539
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:09.960
valuable tool for law enforcement because it can go back

540
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:13.559
and track what you were searching. Right after this fire,

541
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:17.839
they were able to track via Google that this jackass

542
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:22.000
had searched. Can you go to jail for a cigarette?

543
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:25.920
Starting a fire. Well tell me that pretty much? Yeah,

544
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:30.160
I mean, like, that's that's some pretty strong evidence you

545
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:31.519
probably started the fire.

546
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:35.960
The sentencing here, the sentencing here to me doesn't seem

547
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:39.680
harsh enough. After I went and listened and watched to

548
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:41.960
some of the accounts, and one stuck with me of

549
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.559
a woman who had I believe he was disabled, a

550
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:48.640
disabled son, an adult disabled son, and she had to

551
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:51.680
leave him because she could not physically, she couldn't physically

552
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:56.640
carry him, and he told her go, mom, he passed away. Yeah,

553
00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:59.640
how does a mother make that decision to leave her

554
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:02.920
son because she can't physically move him? And he gave

555
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:05.079
his mother the gift of saying it's okay, you can go.

556
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:07.200
And I say the gift because you know she'll have

557
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:09.519
to live with this forever. And then he's just facing

558
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:16.720
that's nothing. Nothing. He wiped out people's memories in their lives.

559
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:20.519
Sixty eight thousand different people lost structures.

560
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:22.839
You know, And to put into perspective, if I were

561
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:27.039
to go and interview one person from every structure and

562
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:29.279
them tell their story, I couldn't cover.

563
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:32.240
That in a year, Right, I agree?

564
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:36.880
So you know I have no remorse or no compassion, Right,

565
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:39.640
now for this guy, I don't know. I just feel

566
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:42.400
like that's an under under sentencing.

567
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.279
All right, I agree with you. Let's go to California.

568
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:49.279
Several people claim that they were victimized by a woman

569
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:54.000
of targeting elderly men on social media, dating platforms and

570
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:58.799
apps and burglarizing their homes. The La County Sheriff's Department

571
00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:04.559
identified this suspect as Adva Love, who appeared in Playboy

572
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:08.039
and Penthouse magazines and claimed to be the first ever

573
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:10.759
top Israeli OnlyFans model.

574
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:14.200
