0:15 Hey, everyone. Welcome back to CrimeWire Weekly. Don't have a whole lot of topics I want to give you right off the top, but I'll tell you we will be talking about the tragic plane crash in Palm Beach in our utterly unrelated segment. Yeah, it was terrifying. Terrifying, horrific, and there's a lot that has come out on that that we'll kind of discuss and go over. We'll give you our opinions on that. Also in Florida, a major... sting operation in which 281 people are arrested in our favorite county, Polk County. Sheriff Grady Judd. We love Sheriff Grady Judd. We wish he was our friend. Yeah.
0:55 But we can keep dreaming. A girl can dream and a guy. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Well, he broke down the details of that. It's very interesting stuff. We're going to be talking about that. Of course, we got several Halloween related stories because the freaks come out on Halloween, right? Indeed. And act up and act out. And we had several of those incidents that we'll cover as well. Yep. It's going to be a good one. It's going to be a good one. And any thoughts before we get into it on anything, Kelly? I just, well, I know we're going to talk about it, but it's a lot of terrifying things. Like legitimately, it makes you kind of think about your own demise in some of these of like, what would you, how would you react? I'm talking about that plane crash, of course, but I just, that one hurt my heart. I listened to it too many times.
1:40 We'll get into that, and we'll start off in Polk County, Florida, in a seven-day undercover operation by the Polk County Sheriff's Office has resulted in 281 arrests and 488 criminal charges in one of the largest investigations of its kind conducted by the department. Sheriff Grady Judd announced the results of Operation Polk Around and Find Out. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Whoever names these, plus 5,000 points. That was awesome. Yeah, this was on Friday, October 30th of 2026. And the investigation actually targeted human trafficking, prostitution, and individuals seeking to sexually exploit children. Of the 488 charges filed, 198 were felonies and 290 were misdemeanors. Now, authorities reported... that 17 of those arrests worked at Central Florida theme parks, 13 at Walt Disney World, and four at Universal. Seven of the theme park workers were accused of attempting to sexually exploit children. Now, among the most notable cases, of course, we're not going to go through all these people, But Colin Kalako, who is 24, allegedly told investigators he previously worked as a Mickey Mouse character at Walt Disney World.
2:59 According to the sheriff's office, he communicated online with an undercover detective posing as the guardian of a 13-year-old boy and expressed a desire to engage in sexual activity with the child. He then traveled to a pre-arranged meeting location where he was arrested. Investigators say two backpacks contained diapers and wipes, including Disney-themed diapers. What is the deal? We had diaper issues last episode. Yeah, but this isn't him wanting to wear them. This is because I guess he was going to have the 13-year-old wear them. I don't know. It's disgusting. Adam Snyder, who is 24, worked in Toy Story Land at Walt Disney World. Investigators say he traveled to meet someone he believed was a 13-year-old for sex. And they said they found part of his Disney uniform and his employee identification in his vehicle. Rashaun Clayton, who is a youth football coach with a team age 11 to 14, exchanged sexually explicit messages with an undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old girl before traveling to a meeting location. They say he was carrying lubricant and sex toys with him. Just disgusting.
4:15 Eric Raymond, an Orange County Sheriff's Office deputy who worked as an SRO, was arrested after attempting to arrange sex in exchange for money. He was an SRO in the schools. An SRO at the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Oh, right. I'm sure his face was... I mean, you would think this guy would know they do these things. The ultimate betrayal of the badge. Tell me about it. So, all in all, the operation ran two simultaneous undercover efforts, one focused on individuals attempting to meet minors and the other on prostitution and potential human trafficking cases. 31 involved alleged child sexual predators and 239 were related to prostitution. And Sheriff Judd said, it's extremely disturbing when we encounter nasty child predators like this who are eager to have sex with children. That's why we conduct these types of undercover operations. The attorney general said those who came to Polk County expecting to sexually abuse a child found handcuffs instead.
5:22 Well. I don't know. We should remain surprised, okay? This can't be the norm. I mean, it's just horrible. But it is the norm in terms of what these predators do. They put themselves in positions of trust over children. So the SRO at the school, of course, he took that position. I would love to be up at the school with these kids, working at a place directed at kids. And I can't help but think about The experience at Disney World is now about to probably change in the next coming years as far as interaction with characters and things like that, because don't think there won't be lawsuits here.
6:02 You know, there's someone's going to come up with something. I know that'd be a stretch to prove, but I'm just saying, think about they're in costume and they're hugging on these kids and they're doing all of these things that just, what is that going to do for the experience? And we have genuine character players there that, you know, interact with the kids and do the right things. And how many did they get from the theme parks? What was that number? It was, well, from the combined, it was 17. From the combined to theme parks. Still 17? Yeah. Now, it doesn't say, just because they work, for example, Walt Disney World, that could have been someone that worked in a kitchen at a restaurant. I mean, not necessarily someone that has contact with children. Yeah, but I assume the worst, I guess. The one guy at one point did. Um, and the other guy worked in toy story land. I don't think he was a character. He might've been someone taking tickets, but I mean, it's disturbing, but there's good and bad in every profession.
6:55 But I just, 17 is a lot. That's a lot of people in positions of, of constant contact with children. And then that SRO, it stresses me out too, because he has access. to a whole lot more information on these children than people probably realize. I mean, we've got the school database. And then I'm not saying he has freelance with that. So if you're an SRO, I understand that you don't have just open access to everything. But I'm just saying. No, but you're in a position of trust. Yes. And you're in on these meetings. You're able to know which kids are going to... You know, we get to know our kids. You're going to know which ones are coming from bad home lives and don't have that structure at home and that you might get possibly get away with more with that kid. And so that's just... One bad apple, of course, and I know 17 bad apples on the other one, but that's a lot of freaking apples.
7:42 Yep. And it makes me uncomfortable. So, hey, great job, though, in Polk County. I mean, excellent. You know, that's a lot of, and they must have had help from outside of agencies, had to, because that's 281 people in simultaneous stings like that. That's a big department to be able to pull that off. All right, well, let's come right back here to Louisiana. We're going to go to the Houma area. And a Terrebonne Parish grand jury indicted 47-year-old Houma resident Keegan Jude Soleil on Tuesday, October the 27th, on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder in connection with a September stabbing attack that killed four adults and critically wounded a six-year-old little boy. The indictments stem from events on the night of September the 12th. Now, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office deputies first responded to a report of a minor with stab wounds. The boy had escaped the attack, run to a neighbor's home, and sought help before losing consciousness. Just, my God, how bad must you have been injured that you would just lose consciousness, too, once you made it there? Bless his little heart. investigators then located four adults dead in two residences but on the same property, two inside of a home and then two in a camper in that backyard. The victims have been identified as Verna Mae Verdon, her daughter Letha Verrett, her son Paul Verrett, and Paul Verrett's girlfriend Chrissy Lynn Parfait.
9:05 The surviving child is a grandson of Miss Letha Verrett. The attack was described by officials as targeted rather than random, though a specific motive has not been made public yet. Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office First Lieutenant Blake Tabor called the scenes very disturbing and certainly very violent, noting it was the agency's first quadruple homicide in its history. Never had seen this before. Soleil was taken into custody the following morning near the scene. He was initially hospitalized for injuries authorities said were connected to the attacks before being booked. He remains jailed without bond. District Attorney Joseph Waits Jr. 's office has not yet indicated whether it will seek the death penalty. I would be willing to bet they're going to go that route with that number of killings, but we shall see. The young survivor was released from the hospital on September 29th after weeks of recovery and returned home under escort by the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office and Houma Police Department. Sheriff Tim Sonnier said at the time that the boy and his family had endured unimaginable loss and that the community stood with them. This is not Soleil's first involvement with violent stabbing cases in Terrebonne Parish either. And y'all listen to this, okay? In January of 2019, he was arrested in connection with a fatal stabbing of Kemple Paul Scott Lavelle, But a grand jury declined to indict him. Later that year, he was charged with attempted second degree murder after a woman identified as Cindy Boudreau said he struck her with a wine bottle and stabbed her multiple times inside of a room at the Red Carpet Inn in Houma. A jury acquitted him
10:35 in November of 2023. And now here he sits in jail for stabbing and killing four and a six year old boy. Yeah, and you don't see that often, these quadruple homicides like this. The guy looks dangerous just looking at his mugshot. I mean, it doesn't look like somebody that would hesitate to stab you. Maybe that's because we know what we know. I thought he was decent looking. Well, attractiveness, I'm not saying. I'm saying he screams danger to me looking at him. Is it his shaved head? Must be. Or just all of it? I'm just curious. What level of lucky, slick or smooth are you that you got out of not one, but two fatal stabbing or potential.
11:26 I know. And then go on. And it's got to make you wonder. It's got to. And I have to ask you this. I know that everyone has a right to a defense. And I'm not saying you don't. And I know that defense attorneys have a job. Again, I respect it. Totally and completely respect it. We deserve to have that in our country. But I do wonder at some point if those that represented him are looking now going, damn, he's got six under his belt. You mean from a defense standpoint? Yeah, like, golly, man, he got out. I mean, I did my job, but he got out, and then now there's four people dead, and he's done the same thing. He has stabbed these people. I'm just curious. I'm not saying they're at fault. I'm just saying, do you think they sit back some time and go, damn?
12:07 I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I doubt it. They probably look at these cases and they, you know, it's a case that they got and they did their job. And the evidence wasn't there, apparently, if he was acquitted. And so I'm sure they don't blame themselves for him doing anything now. I mean, zero consequences and then four people lose their lives and you're willing to stab a child. Yeah. I hope this jury gets it right. Yeah. Well, it sounds like the evidence definitely be there for this one. I mean. You know, when you got four of them. All right, let's go back to Florida and a little utterly unrelated story here, but one that is certainly dominating the news.
12:50 A Learjet 60 crashed into a residential area in Palm Beach County, Florida this past Sunday, killing all nine people on board after a rapid uncontrollable descent from a cruising altitude. The aircraft had departed Austin International Airport in Texas earlier that day, and was bound for an airport in the Bahamas. The jet struck the ground near what's known as Military Trail. It's an intersection there. And I'm sure you've all seen on the news, huge crater in the ground beside the roadway near Mobile Home Community. A video from passing vehicles actually captured the aircraft descending almost vertically before impacting and erupting in a fireball. No injuries miraculously were reported on the ground, though roughly 600 residents were evacuated and remained displaced as emergency crews continue to work the scene and investigate this crash. Now, air traffic control audio recorded the final moments. The pilot reported light clear ice that was manageable, moderate turbulence, precipitation an outside air temperature of negative 47 degrees Celsius, while requesting to climb from 35,000 feet to 37,000.
14:11 Shortly afterward, the situation obviously deteriorated. The crew declared an emergency and reported descents initially of 10,000 feet per minute, then 20,000 feet per minute, which is, y'all, that's like 700 miles per hour straight down. Think about that. Some of the last transmissions were the words were going to crash into the ground and then were out of time. Flight tracking data showed the aircraft dropping from roughly 35,250 feet to 8,000 feet in approximately one minute. That's just unbelievable. What a ride. The impact was described by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as cataclysmic and like a missile going down. And of course, it's a horrific tragedy. Now, the aircraft was licensed and registered to a Delaware corporation that essentially rents these out as commercial airliners, or rather private aircraft to rich people, for lack of a better term. And as a matter of fact, since all this has come out, the person who rented this plane He is a very rich tech mogul.
15:30 He owns some sort of app software company that does some stuff with AI. And it was he and his family. And they were headed to the Bahamas for, I believe it was his wife's birthday that they were headed to the Bahamas for. So one of the pilots that was identified by family members is 20-year-old Nathalia Gauda. I believe it's pronounced Gauda. Gauda? G-A-D-E-L-H-A, forgive me. Godala. Godala. Maybe it's Godala. Of the Boca Raton area, she earned her private pilot's license at age 17 while still in high school and had posted about flying that Learjet 60 earlier in 2026. And I want to say this about that girl.
16:17 I've read several, young lady, I've read several articles about her since all this happened. And she was like a prodigy. Mm-hmm. with flying. As a matter of fact, if you listen to that recording, you can hear it. She's relatively calm up until she knew there's no getting out of this. And I watched a professional pilot kind of break down how her reaction was. And he said the information she was giving was better than most pilots that have been pilots for 50 years would have been able to give in the same situation. So just tragic that Uh, what is a prodigy in, in flight has lost her life.
17:00 Yeah. And there was a lot of people saying, okay. We all do it, right? We speculate. We jump to conclusions. And people are like, oh, my God, she was too young to be flying. Well, she met the standard. I hate to tell you that. No, she was probably better than most 20-year veterans flying. She met the standard. She had the flight hours. She had what procedures and requirements are in place. So that is kind of, you know, something we ought to let go. She met it all. They said she got her pilot's license before she got her driver's license. Yeah, 17. So, you know, kudos to her. I also read a thing where her mother said I alwaysâ feared that I would lose her in a flight accident, and now it's come to fruition. But I have to tell you that her voice, like we just said, total composure as it was kind of, you know, they were trying to mitigate the issue. But then when she realized, you know, you hear the screaming, we're going down at this rate, we're going down at this rate. I mean, it is terrifying to listen to it. And when you hear the words, we're out of time, it's like almost poetic the way it comes out of her mouth, like a tragedy, but it was almost poetic the way that she said it.
18:08 And then some of the people were like, oh my God, you can hear a man's voice and another. Yeah, you could. But he's doing the Lord's prayer. That's right. Yeah, he's praying. So people need to stop with the speculation, you know, oh, it was near Trump's home. It was a missile. This wasn't a, like people, if you listen to anybody with experience that knows what they're, and I do believe that experience and, you know, people who've done this before, I've never flown before a plane. I don't have any insight into But I can tell you 700 miles an hour crashing into the ground. There's not going to be a lot of wreckage left. I mean, it's like an implosion, you know, and there's pieces. People have been filming pieces and parts of the plane near that mobile home. But she wasn't even flying the plane. She was the co-pilot. I mean, there was a male pilot and she was doing. That was the one saying the Lord's Prayer. Yeah.
18:50 So I think what. And there were two babies on board that plane that I can just imagine their mother gripping those children and thinking, my God, you know, how do you even make them feel better about what's happening? It's scary. It is. Now, let me tell y'all what happened, because a lot of people wonder, well, how did it crash? What happened? And you heard it at the beginning of the transmission. She said they had icing, but they were managing. And then she reported precipitations. So when you're up that high, and you also heard her report it was negative 47 degrees Celsius. When you're up 30, 35,000 feet, it's cold.
19:30 It's really cold. I mean, below zero temperatures, right? When you get icing on your wing and it is that cold, it is like weight on one side of the wing, okay? That icing doesn't occur exactly perpendicular on one wing as it does the other. other. So when you get icing on a wing like that on a private plane, it's going to tilt your plane basically sideways. You heard her at one point saying they were banking 60 degrees. Well, that means they're almost sideways going down. At that point, You're probably not going to be able to recover from that if you've got icing because that icing won't have time to melt. by the time you hit the ground.
20:14 Which made me wonder why, and again, my ignorance here, everyone, I just want to be very clear. It made me wonder why don't they drop instead of raise when they're trying to clear the ice? Because you're trying to get above the weather, not below it. The weather occurs all the way. Well, you already have the icing. So the weather doesn't, as you descent, you're not going to get below the weather because it's raining all the way to the ground. I got you. I just thought it got warmer is what my thought process was. I don't know. Not warm enough to where it's going to melt that ice. I mean, this is, this is sheets of ice. Um, so what they were trying to do was fly above it, uh, to where they already had icing, but she claimed it was manageable. Um, they were trying to fly above it because of the precipitation. It was continuing and it would stack up and it would just freeze right, right. As it hit the wing. And so that was the first attempt. Um, And yeah, I couldn't imagine. I saw the only reason I know all this y'all, I'm not a professional pilot, but I watch a guy for about 20 minutes. Talk about this.
21:18 Was it that military pilot? I watched a guy to explain in it. I don't know if he's a military. No, he was a commercial pilot, but he explained that on commercial planes, you have heaters on the wings. You don't necessarily have those on Lear jets. And in addition to that, he also explained that once you get that icing to that extent, you're done. I mean, there's no pulling out of that. I don't think they knew how iced up they were, obviously, or they would have pulled up sooner, I would guess. I guess they thought they could manage it better than they could because the calmness in her voice didn't indicate stress to me at first, but it quickly went downhill. You know, it seemed like it rapidly....
22:00 They're trained too, not to show stress. I mean, it's a totally different deal when you're trained a certain way. It's kind of like 911 operators. Yeah, I just, I don't know. I'm not physically in the danger when it's happening as a 911 operator. But I got to ask you, Jim, my biggest fear as far as like things to do is flying. That's why I think I literally would die if I like bungee jumped or something. I seriously think my heart would stop. I'm not a fan of flying. What is your big, are you afraid of flying? I've flown countless times. I mean, I've flown, but I also was indulging in some. Oh my God, no. I feel like I'm a cat over water the whole time. My stomach muscles will be sore the next day from like tightening up because everything freaks me out. Is there anything that gets you like that?
22:47 I was trying to think. Not really. God. I'm not afraid of heights. I mean, I'm not someone that, you know, I don't want to be at the top of a mountain hanging off the side of the mountain. I mean, that's a little bit scary, but I don't have a phobia. I don't really have phobias. I don't know if it's 9-11 as a kid watching people, like, you know, jumping out of buildings and then airplanes being a part of that, if maybe that plays in my psyche. And I know that sounds weird, but 9-11, I mean. That kind of made me nervous. And now planes and flying just terrify me. Yeah. Terrify me. Have they always done that? Yeah. I mean, I never flew though as a kid. I only flew after 9-11. I never flew before 9-11 happened.
23:30 So I think that somehow impacted. So what did you do when you actually flew? The truth? Yeah. Yeah. I took some medication and drank a few beverages. What kind of medication? Like I got some... Like volume or something? Yeah. Okay. I got it. Actually, I got it because I cannot... I seriously can't... I don't think I can do it. Where did you... Where were you going? The first time I was flying to Salt Lake City. No, I flew to Disney World first. I'm sorry. You didn't just say, screw it, I'm driving. I would have. Because you didn't drive to Disney. I would have. I didn't want to fly. My mom was like, you better get over that. Oh, okay. Mama made me fly to Disney. We had a great time. And then. Yeah, I haven't flown a lot. I've only flown probably four, five, six times. But every time makes me want to vomit.
24:14 Well, you know how they say, conquer your fears. Keep doing it and keep doing it. Eventually, you conquer. Eventually, you'll be in that statistic is how I look. Yeah. I mean, everybody has some sort of fear. I had to think about what mine are. But I know people that have fear of speaking in public. I have none. So there you go. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So let's go to speak. We're going to stay in the flight zone here, but we're going to go to Las Vegas. And a 25-year-old New Jersey man is facing a terrorism-related charge after a flight attendant spotted a text message in which he allegedly threatened to hijack a United Airlines flight, forcing that aircraft to return to Las Vegas shortly after takeoff. Whenever they spoke to him, he told investigators he had been drinking and that the message was a poorly worded banter. With a coworker.
25:02 Yeah. I would have passed smooth out if I would have read that sitting next to that man. Okay. Dante Milne, or Milne, allegedly sent the message on Saturday, October the 24th, while aboard United Airlines Flight 1681, a Boeing 737, which was carrying 150 passengers and six crew members from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas to Newark, New Jersey. According to an arrest report, which was cited by Fox News and some other outlets, The text read, quote, I'm going to hijack this bitch and crash your row only. That's something I would text you in a heartbeat. Oh, my God. While you're on the plane? Yeah, if we were on the plane together. Oh, I know you would talk shit to me.
25:44 That's what he was doing. I know, but damn, I don't know him. No, but whoever he texted did. It's a joke. Well, no, not so much if you're the flight attendant and we've had people hijack planes. We'll talk about it after you're done. Okay. A flight attendant noticed the exchange shortly after departure and alerted the captain. The crew secured the cockpit and diverted the flight back to Las Vegas where it landed at approximately 11.05 p.m. Air traffic control audio later reported by outlets captured the pilot explaining that the passenger appeared unaware of the situation. And this is a quote. The passenger does not know anything is going on. The flight attendant saw him texting that he was going to hijack the aircraft and called me and we went locked down. No restraint. Passenger is compliant because he's unaware. No restraints were used and the passenger remained compliant. All passengers were later deplaned for security checks. The flight was delayed overnight after the crew reached its permitted working hours and departed for Newark the following morning. United Airlines said the flight safely returned to Las Vegas to address a potential security concern.
26:46 The FAA confirmed it is investigating the reported passenger disturbance. According to the arrest report, he told investigators that he had consumed a beer and several shots at an airport bar before boarding, then fell asleep. He woke to find the plane returning to Las Vegas. He initially acknowledged texting someone on the flight, but he said he couldn't remember the messages. When asked specifically about the hijacking threat, he described it as poorly worded banter between coworkers. He said he never intended to take control of the aircraft and apologized. Milne told detectives that he had been in Las Vegas for three days for an apprenticeship training program related to underwater welding. That tells me a lot. I'm sorry. He's a welder. Okay, some reports noted earlier messages between him and the other passengers included derogatory remarks. Milne was charged with one count of making threats or conveying false information concerning an act of terrorism. He was released on $ 10, 000 bail.
27:39 His attorney indicated in court that he intended to plead not guilty. He is due back in court on January the 5th. Yeah, and this is a situation, and I'd love to know the listeners' thoughts on this, but this was just stupid of them to arrest this guy. This was clearly a guy that was, first of all, he's not texting a stranger. He's not texting the flight attendant. He's texting a friend of his, drunk, and saying, I'm going to hijack this bitch and blow up your row only. It's a joke. And it was intended for one person to read. And this flight attendant who was, what you doing looking at my text anyway? Looking at my cell phone. Why are you looking at my cell phone? She goes down the road. Now, I don't blame her for saying something about it just in case. But I think this was clearly a situation. This was a total joke. So Even if they had to deplane him, at some point, someone with some common sense should have said, this guy wasn't hijacking a plane.
28:39 Well, I think they know that now. But they still charged him. Well, I think they need to because they had to divert the whole plane and all of that. I think that the. Flight attendant did the right thing. She followed procedure. And I guarantee you, if you look somewhere in their policy and procedure manual, that if there's any words spoken, said, whatever, that the plane is not going to, I mean, they have all those souls on board. I know he's joking. I totally agree that he was joking. We agree on that. I agree she should. Have reported it. But how would they know? How would they know in the moment whether this was legit or not? We don't know who he's texting. He could be texting his comrades saying, all right, I'm about to take this plane down while you take that plane down. I know that's a bit much. Right now, based on knowing what we know. But in that moment, I would not have overlooked that either.
29:23 I wouldn't have either. I got a problem with them charging him after getting all the facts. Well, I mean, it's a little ridiculous. I think that it's not going to be much when it goes to court. But I think that the I think based on the history of what's happened. in our country and hijacking and how sensitive people are to that talk is why they're doing that. But I do think it'll be pled down. I don't think he's going to be labeled a terrorist or anything like that. And he needs to. I think your charges are going to be completely dropped. Do you? Yes. I think that somebody with some common sense is going to say, there was no intent here. This guy was joking with his friend. There was no intent. What if someone was joking with their friend and said, I'm about to shoot up this movie theater with all these people in it? But he's joking.
30:10 If it was clear he was joking? How would you know he was joking, though? But I mean. Because he's not armed after the fact? I think, yeah, maybe. Something like that? Maybe. Something like that. History? they said, and one of the things that really played out to me that you read, was they said he had other joking texts with this person on there from other points in time. Like, that was their relationship. They would joke around. If you read some of me and Kelly's texts, how many times do I say I'm going to kill this sucker if he don't get in my office? What if someone read that? You're going to charge me with attempted murder? I mean, come on. Or making a terrorist threat? I don't think the arrest is for... actually thinking anything was going to happen with the plane. I think that because of what all.
30:54 Yeah, please don't read our text. Y'all are going to think we're nuts. Exactly. And a lot of friends are like that. And so many things are out of context. I think the arrest here, though, I think the arrest here is because of the chaos that was caused and the unnecessary drama that ensued from this. And that's why I think it'll be pled down to Some type of, like, misdemeanor, disturbing, I don't know if that would apply in the air. But you know what I'm trying to say. I think it would be pled down to something that they're going to say, bruh, better not make that mistake again. I think District Attorney is going to get a hold of that and say, there's no intent. We're dropping the origin. But that's just our thoughts. We'll try to keep you posted if it comes back up in the news. We'll let you know if we find something out.
31:34 All right, Kelly. Well, you know what it's time for. What? Let's go into lustful lawbreakers. Ow. You did it backwards. I did? No, I didn't. Usually you go, right? I don't know. I'm lustful. Who knows what will happen when you're lustful? Right? All right, and we're going to start out in Gravetown, Georgia. Gravetown.
32:16 I didn't even know there was a Gravetown, Georgia. But we're going to start out in Gravetown, Georgia. And a couple was arrested this past Tuesday for allegedly having sex in a hotel pool. So reports say that Patricia Snyder and Rick Wright, they were nude in a public pool. And this was at a Holiday Inn in Gravestown, Georgia. Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn. So witnesses told the hotel manager that the two were actively engaged in sex. And management called 911. I find witnesses told. 911, help. 911 of all, yeah, you didn't dial direct. We got sex going on.
32:56 In the pool. When Columbia County deputies arrived on the scene, they were given access to the pool area, which is surrounded by glass. Deputies say they observed the couple in the ass in the act. In the ass? In the act. Wow. They probably observed them in the ass, too. And when they asked what they were doing, the couple glanced at law enforcement and continued. Hey. Oh, wow. Yeah, we got an audience now. That is pretty lustful. It's time to get really lustful. They were like, forget it. We're busted. Might as well finish. Yeah. After asking the couple again what they were doing and again being ignored, deputies and detectives demanded the two stop having sex and get out of the pool.
33:36 You, stop thrusting. Yeah. Wright put on his swim trunks and he exited the water while Snyder proceeded to float on her back nude. Oh, my. I guess she said, hey, I'm going to give you an eyeful. She eventually put her swimsuit on and got out. Police said they smelled alcohol. Oh, my God. I did not think you were going to say alcohol. They smelled alcohol coming from both subjects. Again, the couple was asked what they were doing, and Wright finally replied, just swimming. Just keep swimming. Authorities say they informed the suspects, hey, other hotel guests saw you having sex, and they complained, and they were both arrested and charged with public indecency. Well, you made the news if you liked it in the public, I guess.
34:20 Yeah. I mean, and they weren't stopping when they were told. That's so crude. There could have been kids watching that. Yeah. I mean. And it's kind of gross. Yeah. You know? When I was a kid, they told us that if we peed in the pool at school, they said if we peed in the pool that it. Would put a purple ring on your body. And I remember just being so terrified that I was going to have a purple ring. I was like, oh, my God, what if like a little bit? I mean, I was so paranoid about that. So I was always using the bathroom, getting out of the pool. Maybe we need to tell adults like this. Hey, if you have sex in the pool, I don't know, the police show up, I guess. I guess. That was anticlimactic. Yep. Okay.
35:01 Let's stay in Georgia. All right. This is going to be a Halloween. I know it's after Halloween, but this one's going to apply because two people wearing dinosaur costumes were arrested on Halloween after a dispute over who was next in line at a Publix self-checkout. And that escalated into an alleged assault involving a firearm because that makes total sense, according to the Muskogee County Sheriff's Office. So deputies responded to the Publix on Mason Road. This was October 31st after receiving reports that one customer had pulled a gun on another. Upon arrival, deputies were told the suspects were still inside the store and dressed as dinosaurs. Makes it real easy to find your suspect.
35:44 Yeah. You know? The two T-Rex on aisle three. Right. They did it. All right. The male suspect who was identified as Scott Harrison was detained and a firearm was recovered from his person. The female suspect identified as Kaylee Welch Harrison was also detained. Surveillance video reviewed by investigators showed a verbal altercation at the self-checkout lanes between two suspects and another customer. And it was all over who was next in line. After the pair finished checking out, Welch Harrison turned around and reengaged the victim in the dispute. Harrison then pushed her aside, drew a firearm, pointed it at the victim, and then struck the victim in the neck and face area with the weapon, according to the sheriff's office. Getting pistol whipped by a dadgum dinosaur. Not on my bingo list. So an off-duty correctional officer intervened and separated the parties until the deputies arrived. The victim was treated at the scene by Columbus Fire and EMS. Both suspects were transported to the jail without incident. Scott Harrison was charged with felony aggravated assault, simple battery, reckless conduct, disorderly conduct, and brandishing a firearm, while his lovely wife was charged with disorderly conduct.
36:47 Yeah, that's a Halloween caper if I've ever heard it. And the best part of that is the 911 call where they said, you know, We got two dinosaurs in here. People dressed as dinosaurs. And when you look at them, there's pictures of them if you're watching the Patreon version. I don't know why. Sulliness at its best. I envisioned them being in the blow-up T-Rex costumes before I saw the picture. And I was like, that's epic. You got pistol whipped by a dino. I mean, it's horrible, but I'm just saying. I mean, it is a story to tell at parties. Let me tell you about the time I got pistol whipped by a dino. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they ruined their holiday weekend. Way to go, guys. Halloween weekend. Rude. All right, let's go to New York.
37:31 And this is a story that's been kind of all over the news. Three Miami-raised brothers who once thrived at the intersection of luxury real estate and high society were each sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for a years-long scheme in which they used their wealth, status, and deception to drug, rape, and sexually assault dozens of young women and girls. U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni imposed the sentences in a packed Manhattan courtroom following an hours-long hearing in which 12 victims delivered impact statements. Tal Alexander, who is 40, and twins Oren and Alan Alexander, 39, had been convicted in And this was a five-week trial, y'all.
38:19 So when you have those length of trials, it's usually people with money. They got defense attorneys that are putting in time, right? So they had a five-week trial on a slew of charges, including sex trafficking of a minor. The twins face additional sexual abuse counts. And Oren was convicted of sexual exploitation involving a 2009 video of a 17-year-old. Each brother received 10 years of supervised release. Oren and Allen were ordered to pay $ 300, 000 in fines each, while Tao was ordered to pay $ 350, 000. They must participate in sex offender treatment. And the judge actually recommended placement near South Florida where family members lived. The Bureau of Prisons will decide actually where this time is served. The prosecutors had sought life sentences describing an immense scheme in which the brothers spent more than a decade dating back in pattern to their high school years around 2001-2002 with documented crimes from roughly 2008-2021, luring women to parties, private flights, Hampton mansions, Aspen ski trips, and elsewhere. Once victims were isolated, they would use drugs to incapacitate and assault these women, and often the women were unconscious or severely impaired. More than 70 women reported accounts to investigators and 11 testified
39:53 at trial. Defense attorneys argued for the 15-year mandatory minimum, portraying the brothers as devoted fathers who have moved past their youth immaturity. Oh, they moved past it. Well, that's wonderful. Right. The brothers themselves said they were innocent, even at their sentencing. Oren said he and his brothers had never drugged or raped anyone, or trafficked anyone for sex. The judge rejected those denials, calling them a lie and calling the conduct monstrous. So at the end of the day, the U.S. attorney said the sentence makes clear that this sinister conduct is very serious and will be met with serious punishment.
40:38 So you, based on what you said, 2008 to 2021, for 13 years, they got away with this behavior with these women. And then you finally get held to the fire for it. You've been convicted of it. So I believe the evidence, you know, based on how this seems to have played out. And then you're still going to sit there and say, I'm innocent and I did not do this. When 70 women came forward, let's assume 20 percent of those women are lying. We still have a crap load of women. Tons of them. And you know exactly what you did. Your parents had the money to get you out of whatever trouble you were in. And you used your position to get these women far away, like they said, on those flights and those things, so that no one could see this happen. And then you're going to just claim that these women are crazy. That is wild. That they got away with this for that long.
41:30 And that's proof that money and lack of consequences results in more victims. I agree. Ugh, that makes me just disgusted. And they grew up. Well, great. I'm so glad that they've moved on from this because their victims are still victims. Yeah, and will always be. And will always be. And you have a 17-year-old girl, one at minimum. Yep. At the hands of you. Ugh. Enjoy prison. All right. Have you ever heard of Neosho, Missouri? No. Neosho. Neosho. Never been there. Me either. Never heard of it either. So, wow. I don't know. It doesn't sound like somewhere in Missouri, does it? In Yo Show. All right. So, a Missouri mother. I don't know what does sound Missourian, but like out or, I don't know, frontier or something.
42:14 I don't know. I just didn't think that name fit. Okay. A Missouri mother is facing felony charges after investigators say she left her four-year-old daughter alone at a truck stop in the middle of the night and drove off with her two sons. and then later left the boys unattended while she entered a casino, and then told police the girl was not her daughter. Daughter? I've just been affected. I can't even speak right now. Man. Said that the girl was not even her daughter, according to the affidavit. Kayla Marie Christensen, 34 years old of Anderson, was taken into custody after the incident early this past Friday after police responded shortly before 3 a.m. to Love's Travel Stop. after employees reported a young child alone in the parking lot. Witnesses told officers the girl had gotten out of a vehicle that then drove away, and the video supported the account of what happened. The probable cause affidavit reads, and this is verbatim, Christensen intentionally left the four-year-old with the purpose of wholly abandoning her. The document states she did so under circumstances likely to result in serious physical injury or death as evidenced by knowingly driving away, failing to return, and later denying that she even had a daughter. She drove off with only her two young sons in the vehicle. Those boys are both under 17.
43:31 They were not properly restrained in car seats and were in close proximity to suspected drug paraphernalia, including syringes. I know. Imagine that. And when you... I know people say someone said they hated me because I am judgy. I'm not judgy. I'm reading you the facts. OK, that's what's happening here. So if you're mad at me for reading the facts, then be mad at her. But she absolutely looks like she indulges in drug usage. And she cared enough to spend the time dyeing her own hair blue, but didn't care enough to take care of the children that she brought into the world. And it makes me angry. After leaving the truck stop, Christensen allegedly left the boys alone in the vehicle while she went inside a casino. When officers later got her and they asked her about her daughter, she claimed her only children were the two boys and denied having a daughter at all. Newton County prosecutors charged Christensen with first-degree child abandonment, which is a Class B felony, and two counts of first-degree child endangerment, which are both Class D felonies. Additional charges reported in some coverage include unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and counts related to failing to properly restrain the children. All three children were placed in protective custody with the Missouri Children's Division.
44:39 Thank God. That poor baby girl could have been. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I mean, could you imagine? And I don't know what she was trying to accomplish. Like, you were just going to leave that girl forever and this child forever and think that the child was four years old, right? Four. So she could communicate what's going on in life. It's not like this was a seven-month-old. Like, my mommy left me. Which would be equally horrible. But, yeah, anything could have happened. And she probably was banking on that. And then she could feign, oh, no, I didn't even know she was out of the car. Some type of BS like that. She didn't even have that little girl.
45:21 Yeah, that's crazy. You know, there's so many people out there that would scoop that baby up in their arms and love her. And I hope that she. You know, the boys too, obviously, but I just, I hope that this turns into a blessing in disguise when your mother treats you like that, that they find families that, that adore them, you know. All right, let's go to Pennsylvania and an alleged serial sexual predator has been charged with physical and sexual assault that took place at a popular Bucks County haunted attraction. Edward Eisenhard. So he's 37. He's of Hellertown, and he's being charged for the assault, which occurred on September 25th at Valley of Fear in Lower Southampton. Con, who is the, Joe Con, who is the district attorney in that area, said he is a highly dangerous, recidivistic sex offender who used his position of authority to prey on two female employees and a young child. Investigators in an unrelated case case arrested Eisenhardt on October 1st for sexually assaulting a 19-year-old co-worker at a Five Below store in Hilltown, where he worked as a manager. During the course of that investigation, Kahn said they learned of two more victims, including a 38-year-old Valley of Fear employee and a 12-year-old living in the Springfield area of Pennsylvania. In that case, Of the 12-year-old girl, Kahn alleges Eisenhardt had a relationship with the family,
46:53 which gave him access to the child's bedroom, where he sexually assaulted her during at least two occasions. At Valley of Fear, which is a haunted hayride and seasonal attraction in Lower Southampton, Eisenhardt worked as a supervisor, a job he actually held for 10 seasons before he was terminated in by that company the day after the alleged assault. Kahn said the victim had been working at one of the attractions when she was grabbed and restrained by Eisenhardt when he indecently assaulted her until he had to return back to work. According to the criminal complaint, the victim said she was alone when she had been approached by him.
47:33 He grabbed her by the throat tight enough to make it difficult to breathe, used his other hand to pin her arms above her head, and said things sexual in nature to her. touched her over her shirt as she told him to stop. He was arraigned on October 28th on multiple charges. And Valley of Fear has been opened. It's a very popular, apparently, haunted hayride. It's been open for like 10 years. And, of course, they are walking this back and saying, hey, we got rid of his ass. We don't support any of this. Right. In addition to his previous employment at Five Below and Valley of Fear, Kahn said Eisenhower worked as a volunteer firefighter.
48:16 Of course. Why not? I mean, he's going to I don't mean, of course, as far as I was like, what? No, I didn't mean as firefighter. I mean, as someone who who is going to put themselves in a position that, oh, look, I'm here to help people. And then I don't know if you remember a while back, a long while back, we covered a case about that firefighter that was inappropriate touching the victims whenever he was helping to. you know, but I mean, the. Vast majority of firefighters are great. No, absolutely. I love our firefighters. I absolutely adore them. And I don't want this to come across that way at all. What I'm saying is it's just like police officers who do it. It's just like teachers. It's just like coaches, SROs, you know, that put themselves in a position to be around kids and, or young people, or in, even in this case, just, you know, he even did it to an adult women and, and, and take advantage of them. Um, that's a rapist in the making. And, Thank God that they've got him behind bars. I hope that this gets him what he deserves.
49:15 Well, he's a rapist, period. I mean, he sexually assaulted this 12-year-old. Well, yeah, but I'm saying he will only progress in what he does. There will be more victims. This is not like, you know, oh, I thought she was, you know, hitting on me, and that's why I grabbed her wrist and stuff. No, he's obviously progressing, and he's becoming wild. He's doing it at work. He's doing itâ you know, he's comfortable going in a bedroom withâ and assaulting a little girl. It's just the worst type of person. Ugh. I think that's like my word today. Ugh. I know. You've said it after every article. Well, I just, but sex offenses, they bother me on a just totally different level, especially when there's children involved. It just bothers me. All right, let's go to Florida, Volusia County, and a 37-year-old knew, is this Smyrna Beach?
50:03 Sure. Smyrna. Sorry, guys, if I'm messing that one up. A 37-year-old man was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail early Thursday after deputies said a suspicious person call escalated into threats against officers, a short vehicle pursuit, a three-hour search involving drones and a helicopter, and a confrontation with a sheriff's canine near Canaveral National Seashore. Bradford Sheldon Cannon was booked at 3.11 a.m. on October 29th on charges that included fleeing or attempting to elude, two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, battery on specified personnel, striking or harming a police animal, as well as a slew of other charges. According to the sheriff's office, the incident began around 6 p.m. on Wednesday, October 28th. when the deputies responded to the report of that unknown person on a property. Deputies encountered Cannon in a white pickup truck.
50:55 He had an active warrant for domestic battery, and so he then refused to exit the vehicle. Body camera footage later released by the agencies shows Cannon claiming he was armed and making threats. He told deputies variations of, I'm not going to jail. You're going to have to fucking kill me. I will die just like this. And he had a weapon in the vehicle and would shoot them if they did not back off. He also asserted that the underlying warrant charges were being dismissed and demanded to speak with a lawyer. So Cannon then drove away, covering a short distance to the Apollo Beach boat ramp at Canaveral National Seashore. He abandoned the truck and fled into thick brush along the shoreline. So patrol deputies, their K-9 units, drone teams, and the agency's Air One, which is their helicopter, searched the wetlands for about three hours before they found him just before 9 p.m. crawling into Through the palm fronds.
51:47 And I hope you like the way I said palm fronds. Like I knew what that was. You did. I totally knew what that meant. I did not need to Google that before we recorded this. What is that for? I'm so glad you asked. I will educate everyone. Please. I should know this. But palm fronds are basically the palms. The leaves. The leaves. Yeah. But to me, it sounded like a pond or something. Like a palm. I don't know. Whatever. A pond? Like, you know how we have in our wetland areas around here, how they have those palms on there? For some reason, I thought it was like a wet, dense area with palms. I didn't think it was the actual leaves. But I learned that now exactly what it is. I'm educated. Right.
52:27 Okay. So during the K-9 apprehension, deputies said Cannon remained combative. He continued to claim he was armed. He struck and bit K-9 Benny in the neck and the ear. He was biting the damn dog. And he later struck or kicked a deputy after being handcuffed. No weapon was ever recovered. K-9 Benny was reported OK and no deputies were injured. Cannon was taken to a hospital for evaluation before being transported to jail. And he's got some blood on his photo. Dude, let me tell you, you don't want to bite a canine for several reasons. Number one, and this is, I'm assuming this was a Belgian Malinois. It could have been a German shepherd, but for, for our purposes, we're going to say it's a Belgian Malinois. Those y'all are $ 30, 000 animals.
53:13 Once they get all their training done, literally, um, I looked up one time how much it would cost to get a protection dog, a Belgian Malinois. And there's a few guys, one of them's an ex-Navy SEAL that actually trains these dogs. And he's like the best dog trainer in the country, they say. $ 30, 000 per dog. I don't doubt it. So you bite one, and that canine handler... If he don't kill you, the dog is going to kill you. Those dogs are no joke. And when they hit you going full speed, I don't care how big you are, you're going down.
53:56 I've been hit at full speed by one. Tell them about it. Tell the listeners. I will. I thought that it would be fun. Every story I have starts with I thought it would be fun. But I did have on the sleeve and things, but I was in my dress clothes, not anything to be playing with dogs biting you. And so they let the dog go. I was doing it for a demonstration for my students. And sure enough, if that dog did not hit me with the power of a thousand hippopotamus, that dog hit me so hard. It took my breath away. I had no clue and took me down. And I was like, wow. And I had bruises on my chest and I had two paw prints on my chest and I had two paw prints on my upper thigh where he Wow. They bruised perfectly. You remember Eve, the rapper, how she had those paw prints tattooed on her chest? It looked like that, but bruises.
54:46 Wow. Yeah, I was gnarly, and I have mad respect for a canine, and if I ever turn bad, as soon as they say I'm sending in the canine, I'm done. Yeah. I'm done. Just give up. I'm done. There's nobody that's getting out of that situation. No, thank you. Those dogs are amazing. As a matter of fact, I brought up the Navy SEALs, and when Osama bin Laden was killed- A Belgian Malinois was in that mission and actually on that mission and leading the mission inside of that home. And those are bad dogs. And one more quick thing, if you'd like to learn more about that dog, there's actually a book written by his handler. He was in all kinds of Navy SEAL missions. It's a great book.
55:31 I don't know if it was the real footage. I think it was because didn't the dog have a camera on when they were going in? They always had cameras. Yeah. I watched footage and it wasâ By the gate? Yeah. And like he was going in and going ahead and he was checking. Huge, huge tool, huge asset for these soldiers to have because they can get in places. That soldiers can't. And for whatever reason, Middle Eastern folks do not like dogs. They'reâ it wouldâ Like people are scared of snakes here in North America. They're scared of dogs there. Really? Oh, yeah. They don't like them. Well, you should be when these fur missiles come at you because damn. And sometimes they get titanium teeth put in. Those teeth aren't breaking off.
56:12 Yeah. I don't play around with a dog. Yeah. This dog was actually shot in the line of duty and survived. What a badass. Which is very rare with that type of dog. Who's a good boy? That is a good boy. Bad dog. All right, let's go to Indiana. Okay. And look, we've all, it's coming up on holiday season, right? It's November. A Christmas Story will be out soon on TBS or whatever, playing 24 hours a day. We all love that show, right? Well, in that movie, you see a little section where the boy gets soaped poisoned, right? And he tells his mom and dad, you know, he went blind because of soap poisoning. Well, that was something that at least my generation, you would get threatened with that if you'd say a cuss word when you were a kid. Put soap in your mouth. And I've had it in my mouth more than once.
57:04 I'm going to wash your mouth out with soap. Last week I had some in my mouth. Not really. But, you know, a lot when I was young. So an Indiana man has been arrested for attempting to force a bar of soap into a seven-year-old's mouth after the child said a curse word. His name is Daniel Swearegen, and he has been charged with domestic battery on a person less than 14 years old, according to the affidavit, while the seven-year-old was being, quote, naughty. Swearegen attempted to wash his mouth out with soap. The seven-year-old fought this and, as a result, received a cut to his forehead, redness to the right side of his face, and bruising to his ear. The incident occurred when Swearegen was in the car with his girlfriend, the seven-year-old boy, and three other children.
57:52 Swearegen said he dropped off one of the children at football practice. They were on their way to Dunkin' Donuts when the seven-year-old began hitting one of the other children in the car for an unknown reason. When Swearegen reached back to the driver's seat to stop him, the seven-year-old called him a motherfucker. Oh, wow. Yeah. My grandma would have knocked my head off my shoulders. I would have wished I had soap. So Swearegen, he pulls over at a Dollar General and he tells his girlfriend, go buy a bar of soap. Then Swearegen tried to force it into the mouth of this seven-year-old, accidentally striking his forehead in the process. After the boy reportedly sustained a bleeding wound, Swearegen's girlfriend supplied first aid to clean the wound. Swearegen allegedly told police he did not know how the seven-year-old sustained the bruise on his right ear. and believed the redness to the right side of his face was from holding him down against the car seat, which is leather. He also reportedly told the police that the boy had been suspended from school for hitting other children and had a temper, which caused him to seek a different form of punishment. Court records show he was released on a $ 750 bond, and his next hearing is January 6th. I'm not sure what to think about this. one personally, because, um, it seems like he went a little bit far there. If he cut, if there was a cut that drew blood to the kid's head, I look, I, I agree with him about
59:23 the soap in your mouth when the seven-year-old calls you a motherfucker. I mean, we got a problem. He sounds out of control. Houston, we got a problem. Yeah, but man, he had redness to it. It sounded like he's got to slap him around a little bit. I don't know. I could see that the kid was fighting back aggressively and his lip got busted or whatever. So my opinion, just based on the limited things that we know, is that I don't think that he intended to harm the child the way that the child was harmed. And that I think... You know, we've all been in positions where we have children where you have had enough of a child's behavior. The fact that he's so young is troubling to me, though. Why is this kid acting out in such a way that he's willing to hit and cuss? So has he been ungovernable because of lack of parenting? And now this boyfriend comes in and is like, we're not having this, and this boy doesn't know. You know what I'm trying to say? Something's been amiss here.
1:00:16 I feel like this is going to go to court, and the judge is going to listen. He's going to be like, look, you knowâ I feel bad for what happened. It shouldn't have gone that far. I don't think this is a child abuse issue based on what I've heard. It just seemed to kind of have gotten out of control. The method, I'm with you. The method I get, the application maybe went a little too far. Yeah. There you have it. All right. Oh, is it time for overtime? Well, we already were in overtime. I just forgot to tell everybody. We'll stay in overtime. Hey, everybody. Welcome to overtime. All right. Well, we're going to go to Fairfield, California. And a manhunt continues for a gunman who opened fire inside a crowded Spirit Halloween store at the Solano Town Center Mall Friday evening, killing one woman and wounding six others in what police described as a targeted incident involving a single suspect.
1:01:11 Fairfield police responded around 8.30 p.m. local time on October the 30th. to reports of gunfire at the seasonal costume store that was located inside the mall, and this is about 45 miles northeast of San Francisco. Investigators found seven people with gunshot wounds. One victim died at the scene. The remaining six had to be transported to the hospital. The woman killed was identified as 31-year-old Constance Haggis, and family members told detectives she was pregnant at the time of her death. Among the wounded, a 16-year-old male, a 19-year-old male, a 32-year-old male that also remained in critical condition as of Saturday. A 23-year-old man was hospitalized in critical but stable condition, and then two other men, ages 19 and 43, were treated for gunshot wounds and later released.
1:01:57 The police chief, Dan Marshall, said during a Friday night news conference that detectives were diligently working to identify the suspect or suspects responsible for this horrific shooting. Based on preliminary information, police believe the shooting stemmed from a targeted incident involving one suspect inside the store. The suspect fled before officers arrived and still remains at large. Detectives are reviewing the surveillance video and they're looking for other evidence alongside the FBI's Sacramento or the Sacramento field office of the FBI. They're all there to help, but no arrests have been announced as of this recording. Shoppers described chaos as roughly five to seven shots rang out. One witness said that his wife was inside the store when the shooting began. She managed to escape with others through an emergency exit. She's at home right now, still in total shock, he said. She reported hearing five big bangs, big ones, like really loud ones. And then people running, yelling and crying.
1:02:50 The mall canceled a planned Halloween trick or treating event for Saturday. So it sounds like everybody paid the price except the shooter here. And authorities have noted that a separate fatal shooting occurred hours earlier at another spirit Halloween store in Madison Heights, Michigan, but they weren't connected events. Just, you know, can you go anywhere anymore without having to worry about somebody shooting it up? I, I mean, we used to have a Spirit Halloween somewhere around here. Is there one still in Baton Rouge? Yeah, on Jubin we have one. Okay, it's on Jubin? Yeah. Well. Your kids aren't that little anymore. Didn't they have one, though, in Denham? Yeah. Okay, so major Halloween place. I'm sure most people out there know it.
1:03:35 It's like the Walmart of size Halloween stores. People that are going there are probably typically family-oriented people. And you go in there, and that's where you pick to just bust caps and shoot up the place. And you hit everyone except your intended target is what it sounds like. It's just like we had that recently happen here at our mall of Louisiana, where the shooter just decides to start shooting with no regard for any of the other people because of the beef they have with one person. That is the most cowardice, idiot-driven behavior ever. All right, let's go to Lake County, Tennessee, and a multi-state manhunt remains underway, at least as of this recording, for Jacob Allen Morley. He's a 28-year-old convicted murderer serving a life sentence after he escaped from the Northwest Correctional Complex and later abandoned a stolen pickup truck in Illinois.
1:04:32 Tennessee DOC officials and prison staff discovered him unaccounted for around 11.30 p.m. On Sunday, during an emergency count and facility search, security footage later confirmed he breached a perimeter fence, left the prison in his TDOC uniform. So I guess it's orange. Yeah. Either orange or a big stripe, one or the other. Yeah, the facility is located in Tiptonville, which is in the northwestern corner of the state. Hours after the escape, surveillance video showed him stealing a white 2008 F-350, and that truck was later spotted near a fire department. On October 27th, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced the vehicle had been found abandoned in Marion, Illinois, which is roughly about 120 miles north of the prison. So he's getting far away. Morley was sentenced to life in prison last year for first-degree murder of his co-worker, Cody Birchfield. Birchfield was reported missing in February of 2022 and after last being seen in Elizabeth town. That's a weird name for a town. His body was later found hidden beneath Morley's house.
1:05:55 Morley was arrested in North Carolina in March of 2022 and convicted of aggravated burglary, tampering with evidence, evading arrest, and vandalism. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation added Morley to its most wanted list and a combined reward of $ 17, 500 is now offered for information leading to his arrest. He's considered extremely dangerous. Looking at his lineup or booking photo, rather, I mean, he doesn't look dangerous, but obviously he is. And that goes to show you can't go off of what somebody looks like. He looks like a, like a, I don't know, a computer.
1:06:37 A gamer. Yeah, something like that. I'm having a hard time believing that he's doing this on his own because, I mean, you can make it so far without help, but eventually, I mean, you're going to need Money. Money. You're going to need, you know, so many other things. And so I'm willing to bet that they are honing in right now on his closest associates who was on his contact list, who has he been talking to. And I don't know, maybe he's that resourceful, but that just seems pretty bizarre to be gone that long and no spotting and no. Yeah, it seems weird. And I'll tell you, the Tennessee Bureau of Prisons, man, they are going through it right now.
1:07:18 You have botched executions. Now you've got escaped killers. What's next for Tennessee? Did they say what time it was? Was it nighttime? Did it say? I can't remember. I don't know. 11.30 p.m. He was unaccounted for. Yeah, so see, they do an emergency count. So count is done, just like take and roll. Count is done at... predetermined intervals. And the inmates know that the officers know that. And so there's kind of like a routine for count. So you know where to be. So it sounds to me like as soon as they did one count, which might've been at 10, I don't know. That's whenever he hauled tail. And so he was able to get off those grounds before they realized they hadn't seen him. They locked down, they do that emergency count and then they still don't have him, but he's gotten that stolen that truck by then.
1:08:03 And these counts are routine, right? Absolutely. Yeah. And isn't that, Wouldn't you look at that as a problem, though, like because they can figure out the pattern? Shouldn't they stagger that somehow and just have counts at different times every day so the inmates can't figure it out? Possibly. But then again, some of them are that way because, like, for example, if you're on a big prison where you haveâ trustees that go do jobs that they're not monitored 24-7 by officers, they have to know when to come back in for count. And so, I mean, they could do sporadic ones that are, you know, we want to go ahead and get count, but everything else is so regulated and regimented. Like when chow is, what time do they have to be here? What time do you have to be there? So if you hold them up in a, you know, count that they're not expecting, then they might miss their meals or they might miss whatever, because Some prisons are huge, and there's a lot of movement. So, you know, a lot to tell. And then you have the other issue, just if you're curious. is you have things that are called stick outs. So like someone's supposed to be on the count at this dorm, but they may have made a sick call. So they're actually going to be at the hospital and they're getting checked out at the hospital. All of that has to be accounted for.
1:09:13 Eyes have to be put on that inmate. And so it can slow down time. And if count is wrong, it can't be wrong. Yeah. I remember multiple times in the prison where they would say, nope, stop everything. Counts not aligning. No movement. Stop until we can put our eyes on everybody. Gotcha. All right. We're going to be in Florida again. A Florida man is accused of fatally shooting his two roommates following an argument over. Think of all the things that you could be arguing over right now. Anything worth killing someone over. And I bet you ice cream. is not the top of the list of why you would murder your roommates. But police say that is what the argument was over, and it was described as a ridiculous situation. So on October the 28th, Ocala police received a call about a verbal disturbance amongst three men. It's a homeowner and his two tenants who rented rooms at the residence. After interviewing these three men, the officers determined the dispute really had something to do with someone eating someone else's ice cream.
1:10:11 No crimes were reported at the time, and peace was restored. The two tenants went for a walk before officers left the scene. But about an hour later, police received a 911 call about shots being fired at the same residence. When officers returned to the home, they found the tenants had been shot. One was in the front yard and the other was inside of the home. The men, who were 69 and 78 years old, both succumbed to their injuries. The homeowner, Mark Robinson, who is also 69, surrendered and allegedly told officers he had shot them both. Robinson told detectives that after officers left during the initial call, he feared things would escalate once his roommates returned from their walk. So he armed himself with a 12 gauge shotgun. Wow.
1:10:53 He alleged that a second altercation began upon his roommate's return, and one of the men armed himself with a knife. Robinson also claimed his roommates rushed toward him, making him feel threatened, so he fired his gun multiple times. One of the roommates tried to flee, and Robinson shot him in the back as he was running away. There goes that story. Whoopsie. And then the police chief said evidence indicates one of the roommates was trying to flee when he was shot. This, along with the witnesses' accounts and Robinson's alleged statements, led to his arrest on a single count of second-degree murder. Balkin said additional charges are possible, and the authorities are exploring whether self-defense was a motive in the other killing.
1:11:35 He also said a knife was recovered from the scene. So that's interesting. Our detectives, safe to say, will be working with our prosecutors, and any charges that we can bring, they'll be bringing forward as quickly as possible. He described the living arrangement as dysfunctional, and it's clear that the homeowner, quite frankly, was an angry old man that had some alcohol problems and could get nasty with not only his neighbors but his tenants as well. So he remains in custody, and he is due in court on December the 1st. Yeah, and, you know, he's screwed. Where his story completely falls apart is he shoots the guy in the back in the yard. So the guy, he apparently shot one of these guys. gentleman. The other guy takes off running, runs out the door. He apparently chases this guy down and shoots him in the front yard in the back.
1:12:26 So if you're fearing for your life and someone leaves and takes off running away, you're no longer in fear of your life. I mean, if the threat is retreating, unless he shot him and then the guy made it outside and collapsed, but I don't. No, they said he shot the first guy and the second guy took off running and went outside. Right. Shot him in the back. Once the threat is retreating, they are no longer the threat. That's right. He became the threat. So it sounds like they're giving him the grace on the guy with the knife. They're giving him the grace there to say, you know, maybe you're, but why'd you shoot the other guy? You know, he's running away. Sounds to me like the guy might have grabbed the knife because he had the knife. Could have been. It's kind of hard. I need something to try to defend myself with. Yeah.
1:13:08 Shotgun's going to win. Every time. Yeah. But, you know, what do you do when you don't have a shotgun right next to you? You grab whatever you can find. Right. And that's what he did. Just senseless. Absolutely senseless. Yeah. And 70-year-old men here, practically. You know, at the end of your life, you got, what, five, six good years left, maybe, if you're lucky, and you're going to spend them in prison. Congratulations, Mark. Yeah. You win. I hope you're proud. Yeah. Any final thoughts, Kelly? Sure. We better beat Bama, dog. We better whoop them. Did I take your final thought? Yes, but that's okay. Yeah. That's okay. I like it. I dig it. No, mine was beat Bama. Yeah.
1:13:49 We're on the same page here. Look, even if you're not an LSU fan this week, you're going to be watching that game. You know you are. Yep. Traffic is going to be a nightmare. We are going to beâ All about purple and gold this weekend. That's right. And to my friends that asked to meet up at the stadium so we can shotgun a drink together, I'm a woman of my word. I met someone last game at the concession stand, and we took pictures. So if you're out there and you see me, let's do it. She ain't going to be there. I'm going to get a call from her husband about 4 o'clock. He better not have sold my tickets. 4 o'clock, I'm going to get a call. You want these tickets? Kelly's sleeping. No, absolutely not. Absolutely. All right. Well, thank you all so much for listening. And until next time, I am Jim Chapman.
1:14:30 And I'm Kelly Jennings. And we're your host of Crime. Wire. Overtime.
