00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.960
Hey everyone, and welcome back. I don't have topics that
2
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:22.879
I'm going to cover. I'll just tell you a few
3
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.600
of them. But there's a reason for that today, Kelleen.
4
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.079
And why is that y'all are lucky that the show
5
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:32.359
is going on because I almost spider monkeyed and it
6
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:38.399
scratched out Jimothy's eyeballs. She did because we already recorded this.
7
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.479
This is our take two of this. Because someone did
8
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:43.880
not press the record button.
9
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.799
I would be that person, and I will say that
10
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.960
we had an hour of the best crime you've ever
11
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.960
heard of your life. It was really good. And uh yeah,
12
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.640
like Kelly said, I never hit the record button for
13
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.079
the audio, so it was just our mouths moving. You
14
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.000
wouldn't have known what we were saying, and I figured
15
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.400
you wanted the audio in addition to the video. So quickly,
16
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:08.120
before we get into just a few of the topics,
17
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.400
I'm going to mention, I do want to mention that
18
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.200
we play this entire thing commercial free, because I've had
19
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.000
several people ask me do we have a commercial free version.
20
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:20.840
We do. We upload that to our individual patreons. And
21
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.519
not only do we upload a video commercial free edition,
22
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.680
we also show pictures of everything we're talking about like
23
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.000
the news, so as you're watching it, you'll see that
24
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.680
when we talk about that particular crime, we'll have a
25
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.959
picture of maybe the lineup photo for the person, or
26
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.480
the booking photo or whatever. So check it out. Definitely
27
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.519
worth the cost of admission, and we'll get into the
28
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.319
topics for today. We're going to talk about a North
29
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.680
Carolina teacher who was killed by an intruder while she
30
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.840
was on the phone with nine to one. One very
31
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.439
tragic story there out of Raleigh, North Carolina. We're also
32
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.079
going to talk about a Kentucky woman and who was
33
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:08.120
charged with fetal homicide after allegedly self induced abortion via
34
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.879
an abortion pill. Well, Kelly's gonna bring you that story.
35
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.199
We're gonna talk about a ninety three year old man
36
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.400
who tragically fatally shoots his eighty six year old wife
37
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.199
who he was married to for some sixty plus years.
38
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.919
We're gonna talk about, of course, Nicholas Maduro dominating the news.
39
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:30.960
We're gonna give you our thoughts on It's not gonna
40
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.280
be politically motivated. It's just gonna give you the facts, yep,
41
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:40.080
as we know them or say them. So let's get
42
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.400
into it for this edition for the New Year, the
43
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.800
first one we put out this year of Crime Wire Weekly.
44
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.280
I'm Jim Chapman and I'm Kelly Jenny. Happy New Year, Kelly.
45
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.039
Happy freaking New Year, Jim.
46
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.199
It feels like the second episode of the year. Jjavu
47
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.919
Blake DejaVu. So we'll just jump right into it, and
48
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.680
I'm gonna bring you to Rolin, North Carolina. In a
49
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.439
beloved science teacher at a school called Ravenscroft School in
50
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.759
Raleigh was tragically killed during a violent home invasion. This
51
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.759
occurred early this past Saturday morning. Now. The attack unfolded
52
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.439
while she was desperately pleading for help on the phone
53
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:24.639
with nine to one one dispatchers. Zoey Welsh, who was
54
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:29.240
fifty seven, called emergency services around six thirty am. This
55
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.639
was on July third, to report that an intruder had
56
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:37.039
broken into her home. While still connected and speaking to operators,
57
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:42.840
reportedly begging for help or screaming, the suspect began assaulting her. This,
58
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.080
according to Raleigh Police. Officers arrived minutes later, and they
59
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.840
found Welsh suffering from severe life threatening injuries and despite
60
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.439
immediate medical efforts and to transport to the hospital, she
61
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.639
sadly succumbed to her wounds. Police quickly located in arrested
62
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.879
thirty six year old Ryan Camacho nearby, and they charge
63
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.719
him with murder and felony burglary. In Camacho, who has
64
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.479
a lengthy criminal history in North Carolina dating all the
65
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:17.279
way back to two thousand and five, and was recently
66
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.839
released from prison after serving time for a firearm related defense.
67
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.319
Of course, he appeared in court, yeah, exactly January fifth,
68
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.360
just a couple of days after this incident, and court
69
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:36.040
records indicated he faced potential involuntary commitment proceedings weeks prior
70
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.240
to this incident. Now, Welsh was described by former students
71
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.040
and colleagues as passionate, caring. She was an educator with
72
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.240
over twenty years of experience, and she leaves mind just
73
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.319
a grieving community there in Raleigh, North Carolina. And I'll
74
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.319
tell you something about Raleigh. It's a community. It's a
75
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.240
really nice place to live. I have a very good
76
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.319
friend that lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, and they are
77
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.040
not you know, it's not the place where you would
78
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.800
become accustomed to things like this occurring, especially in the
79
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.639
way of home evasions. So when I looked into this
80
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.279
particular incident because what sparked my interest was when it
81
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:19.160
mentioned that he was just recently in court for involuntary
82
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.199
commitment proceedings. I wanted to dig a little deeper into
83
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:24.879
his record to see what has passed.
84
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.439
I'd be curious to know what it is, very curious.
85
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.800
In twenty nineteen, he pleaded guilty to discharging a firearm
86
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.040
into an occupied property in Wake County.
87
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.720
So that's an occupied property meaning that people were there, yep, people,
88
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.360
but no attempted murder charge or anything like that.
89
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.839
Awesome, No that and maybe initially it was that, and they,
90
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.319
you know how, they pleaded things down. So he did
91
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.240
serve some time for that. Now he served approximately five
92
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.399
years and seven months in prison. He was paroled in
93
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:59.920
twenty twenty four. But get this, between his actual conviction
94
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.000
and his parole in twenty twenty one, he decided he
95
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.800
had enough of prison and he escaped, gone away for
96
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:08.600
a few days.
97
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:09.759
That's the red flag.
98
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.879
That's definitely the red flag.
99
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.120
The dude hasn't learned a lesson at all. He's just
100
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:15.000
willing to skip out.
101
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:21.439
He also had multiple missdemeanor convictions, including seven in November
102
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.600
of twenty twenty four for just November of twenty twenty
103
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:29.480
four for offenses such as breaking and entering, larceny, injury
104
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:33.600
to real estate property. He also served three months from
105
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:37.680
April to July of twenty twenty five for violating post
106
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:42.439
release supervision in Wake County, and more recent incidents even
107
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:47.240
involved charges of breaking and entering and stealing pillows pillows
108
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.680
in August of twenty twenty five injury to property. Many
109
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.040
of those were dismissed or drastically reduced. And what was
110
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.600
kind of the kicker in all this for me was
111
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.920
in December of twenty twenty five, a seventh breaking an
112
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:05.399
entering case was dismissed after Camacho was found get this
113
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:10.160
incapable of proceeding due to mental health concerns. Yeah, so
114
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:15.079
prosecutors sought involuntary commendment on that case, but a judge denied.
115
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.160
Yeah. Okay, so right now, we the people should be
116
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.240
looking right back down the barrel at the judge, because
117
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.839
you've got a prosecutor here who, to their credit, recognized
118
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.439
that this this guy's no good. I mean he's and
119
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.199
I'm sorry, he's crazy, but you cannot be a danger
120
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.839
to society. I mean, that's that's the judge's job. That
121
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:36.920
there's no one else, there's no one else to make
122
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.720
a decision here. And this year I have too, is
123
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.480
that he's broken the rules of probation or parole. Excuse me,
124
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.560
he was paroled out, so there's rules to that he's
125
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.600
not he's either not checking in or he failed a
126
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.600
drug test or something along those lines. So so there's
127
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.720
zero accountability for anything that he's done. And then to
128
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.040
know that the dude broke in and broke and stole pillows,
129
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.639
to me, just like boom, like a you know, a
130
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.639
light bulb just goes on and says, Okay, something is
131
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.480
wrong here, because he's got to be criminally insane. He's
132
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.600
willing to hurt people, but he stole pillows, which means
133
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.360
there's no rhyme or reason to what he's doing and
134
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.360
there's no predictability to him. Right, and now a woman
135
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.600
paid the ultimate price, a good woman, that's.
136
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.360
Right, you know. And you're seeing this more and more,
137
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:23.199
and we have a story we're going to cover later
138
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:29.959
on very similar circumstances with these these mental health issues
139
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.279
in the you know, I'm not just going to say
140
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.320
in the United States, I'm sure it's a global thing,
141
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.320
but we cover it a lot here where these people
142
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.399
with some major mental health problems are getting slapped on
143
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.759
the rest or completely released because the states in which
144
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.679
they're charged with the crime seemingly don't know what to
145
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.519
do with them. You know what problem?
146
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.559
It makes me think about drug addiction. Okay, if if
147
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.759
love alone could save aug a drug addict, we would
148
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.679
never have a problem, right, Okay, But there's hard there's
149
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.080
hard choices that have to be made here, and we
150
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.080
can feel bad for him, we can have sympathy, and
151
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:06.759
we can have empathy, and we can have every type
152
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.519
of pussy out there there is for somebody. But when
153
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.840
it comes to them shooting into occupied homes, breaking into homes,
154
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.559
running away from the prison, smart enough to get out
155
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.360
and to escape, and then continuing down this path of
156
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.279
just absolute destruction. And so they're saying that the dispatch
157
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.399
is now released, and we listened to it off camera,
158
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.919
and basically it sounds like that he broke a front window,
159
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.320
he comes in, and he beat her to death or
160
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.360
hit her with something, because she had a severe hemorrhage
161
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.000
to the left side of her head. And this was
162
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:41.240
so bad that the dispatcher was even telling his units
163
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.320
that were responding. Look, there was screaming, and now there's
164
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:44.960
a silent line. I'll hold the channel for you, which
165
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.120
it means like ten thirty three. The networker hold it
166
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.519
emergency traffic only because it was so it was so
167
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:51.759
bad on the other end of the line.
168
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.080
Yeah, they made a comment on it. We can hear
169
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:55.399
background noise. Yeah.
170
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:56.039
Yeah.
171
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.120
Prayers go out to her family, everybody that knew and
172
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.000
loved her. And we got to get a hold on
173
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.000
this problem with these guys with rap sheets as loan
174
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:06.360
as my.
175
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:11.240
Arm and judges need to do their jobs. That judge specifically,
176
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.759
you need to do your job. That was ridiculous. All right,
177
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.519
Now let's move on to Kentucky. Now this is a
178
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.240
big case right now. A thirty five year old woman
179
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.759
from Wolf County, Kentucky faces serious criminal charges, including first
180
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.519
degree feed on homicide, which is a capital offense, potentially
181
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.600
meaning she could get the death penalty after allegedly ordering
182
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.399
abortion medication online, self inducing an abortion, and then burying
183
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:36.600
the fetal remains in her backyard. So Melissa Spencer was
184
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.960
arrested following a report from staff at a United Clinic
185
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.080
in Campton where she was seeking medical care and disclosed
186
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.279
that she had terminated her pregnancy at home, and according
187
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.159
to the state Police, Spencer admitted to investigators that she
188
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.519
ordered the abortion pills online because the pregnancy resulted from
189
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.919
an affair that she was having and she didn't want
190
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.200
her boyfriend to discover it, so she took the medication
191
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:02.080
on December twenty sixth, awardedly, and then delivered the fetus
192
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.480
the following day. She described the fetus as a quote
193
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.159
developed male infant and told police she wrapped the remains
194
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.840
in a white rag placed them in a light bulb box.
195
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.759
Some reports online said that she had wrapped it in
196
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.000
Christmas paper and then buried it in a shallow grave
197
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.279
behind her home. Troopers obtained a search worn and recovered
198
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.679
the remains, which were sent for autopsy to determine the
199
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.480
exact gestational age. Now she's been charged with first degree
200
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.960
fetal homicide, abusive a corpse, and tampering with physical evidence.
201
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.480
She's being held at the Three Forks Regional Jail in Beadville. Now,
202
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:38.919
Kentucky enforces a near total abortion band since overturning Roe v.
203
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.440
Wade and permitting the procedures only if the mother's life
204
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:49.879
is in jeopardy, and distribution of abortion pills are supposed
205
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:53.399
to be heavily restricted, though self managed abortions are not
206
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:58.159
explicitly criminalized for the pregnant person in most interpretations. However,
207
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.000
fetal homicide laws can apply in such cases, potentially leading
208
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.679
to severe penalties, including life imprisonment or the death penalty.
209
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.799
But their investigation is still ongoing. Now here's the thing.
210
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:10.840
And the first time we recorded this, which you didn't
211
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.480
get to hear, I had some reservations about this, saying
212
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.440
that I just have a very hard time believing that
213
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.559
they would go after the death penalty for this. I
214
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.360
think that we need to look at this, take the
215
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.080
emotion out of it, look at this from a legal standpoint.
216
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.159
I mean, obviously there's emotions to it. I saw Jim's
217
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:27.000
face kind of scirled up.
218
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.840
You said, going after the death penalty for it.
219
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:36.679
Yeah, I don't think that that should or would go forward.
220
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:38.039
I didn't think that they would go because they said
221
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:40.600
it's a potentially capital case in that state. I just
222
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.679
didn't see that that would be happening. And I had
223
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.559
questions about, well, wait a minute, you know it could
224
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.320
be argued in court if we don't look at this emotionally, obviously,
225
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.840
don't have an affair, and don't order abortion pills online.
226
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.000
Those are give mes right, But in a court of law,
227
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.480
I just thought, you know, a doctor sent her this pill,
228
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.799
from what I understand, and so my question was, I mean,
229
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.200
I just don't if you're taking something that a doctor
230
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.320
prescribed to you. Laws aside. I was just curious, well,
231
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.559
what was she supposed to do with the baby once
232
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:13.600
it was terminated? If she were in a state where
233
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:15.919
this was legal, you know, what was she supposed to do?
234
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:20.600
Okay, well, she wasn't in a state where this was illegal.
235
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:23.519
And I used an example. I'm going to use an
236
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:28.039
example here. Marijuana. Okay, there are states where marijuana is legal.
237
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.279
There are states where it's not. Louisiana can't smoke marijuana
238
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:36.039
unless you have a medical reason for doing so. However,
239
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.320
in California you can go buy it in a drug store.
