Season 11

This special Monday episode is packed with some wild crime related stories. Rapper Boosie Badazz finds himself tangled up in a wild Trump pardon scam that’s raising more questions than answers. A Florida woman named Stephanie Perdue is convicted in a truly bizarre murder-for-hire plot that sounds like it was ripped from a bad movie.
Tempers flare hard at Taco Bell when one man’s rage boils over in spectacular fashion, while another woman completely loses it over a long wait time in a separate fast-food meltdown. Online, the disturbing “Gooner” trend at Dollar Tree is producing some shocking new stats that have parents and shoppers on edge.
In this week’s True Crime Time Machine, we head back to the case that forever changed how America protects its children: the 1981 abduction and murder of Adam Walsh. Elsewhere, quick-thinking kids alert an adult just in time to stop an attempted drowning. A former prosecutor is accused of repeatedly trying to poison people in a case that proves age is no barrier to alleged crime. Authorities finally catch a man on the most-wanted list after a jaw-dropping $600 million Medicare fraud scheme. And the son of the infamous Long Island Lolita is arrested in Florida, bringing a new chapter to a notorious family story.

I'm again we are in the wrong business.

39
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:18.960
We are in the wrong business. We're going to talk

40
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.319
about that. I came up with a new segment and

41
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.039
it might only be a one episode, so.

42
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.280
One off, a one hit wonder, but I'm gonna call it.

I do.

47
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:39.639
She might have been a little before you, it was,

48
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.840
but I know it. Okay, Well, her son has been

49
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.639
arrested in Florida, so we're going to talk about that.

50
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.719
A lot of interesting stuff to get to. So welcome

51
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:48.680
to Crime War Weekly.

52
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.639
I'm Jim Chapman and I'm Kelly Jennings.

53
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.599
Kelly second day, well not the second day in a

54
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:56.879
row because we had a weekend mixed in, but we're

55
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:58.520
bringing him even more entertainment.

56
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.960
You know what, I really I really like doing these stories,

57
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:03.240
you know, because we get to stay up to day.

58
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.319
But do you know when people always reach out to

59
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.080
us and they go, y'all are like siblings. One person

60
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.039
asked me if you were my brother the way that

61
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.479
we like from another. Yeah. So no, we're just friends.

62
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.919
So we just you know, we'll banter and argue with

63
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:18.000
each other, but we get over it.

64
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:19.199
That's right. That's right.

65
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:19.960
We show back up.

66
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.120
That's right, We show back up all day every day.

67
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.280
All right, let's get into it. We're gonna start off

68
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.520
in Baton Ridge, Louisiana and Boozy Badass also known as Torres.

69
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.120
Hatch Torrance Torrance Hatch. Yeah yeah, he was at Angola

70
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:35.000
for a hot minute.

71
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.840
That's right. He was yep, but he wasn't. He was out.

72
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.319
He's out and then he made something of himself. Well.

73
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.360
He is suing two controversial political operatives after paying them

74
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.840
six hundred thousand dollars to secure a presidential pardon from

75
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:55.199
Donald Trump that never materialized. The Baton Ridge native known

76
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.159
for hits like Wipe Me.

77
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.560
Down, White Me Down, is I'm all you're not.

78
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.439
Going to continue to sing I fuck? Kelly was going

79
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:08.360
to continue singing it? Well, he's known for that song.

80
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.680
He has become embroidled in this deal with these guys

81
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:17.000
that's led to some pretty ongoing problems. Boozy. He pleaded

82
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.240
guilty to being a felling in possession of a firearm,

83
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.920
and we brought you that story, I believe on this show.

84
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.120
Actually it's stemmed from a twenty twenty three arrest and

85
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.199
in January of twenty twenty six, he was sentenced to

86
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.519
time serve ten days plus three years of supervised release,

87
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.120
but he sought a full pardon to clear his record now.

88
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.920
According to the lawsuit, Boozy signed the agreement with Jacob

89
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.399
Wall and Jack Berkman of jam Berkman and Associates. This

90
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.439
is in late September of twenty twenty five. The firm

91
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:54.480
pitched itself as having deep connections in Trump's orbit. Quote,

92
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.240
they were real aggressive and they act like they had

93
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:01.800
Trump on speed dial, Busy said. The contract reportedly required

94
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.399
the full six hundred grand up front, with a provision

95
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.240
for three hundred thousand refunds if no pardon could be

96
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:14.000
secured by a specified deadline. Now. Tensions escalated around the

97
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.879
new year. On New Year's Eve, Bertman allegedly texted that

98
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.720
the pardon was quote in hand and ready to sign.

99
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.439
Boozy's lawyer Meghan Blanco received to call, claiming Trump signed

100
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.519
it and the White House simply hadn't announced it yet,

101
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.040
but that pardon never surfaced. A White House aid later

102
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.079
confirmed to Blanco that no application for Boozy had been

103
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.839
filed and the clemency team had never heard of Wall

104
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:45.279
or Bertman. Row officials reportedly warned that their involvement could

105
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.920
harm applicants' chances. Boozy filed for arbitration in March of

106
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:54.759
twenty twenty six through the American Arbitration Association to recover

107
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.439
the three hundred thousand dollars. While and Bertman had refused,

108
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.600
disputing the refund claw and claiming their firm is effectively

109
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.439
bankrupt due to millions and prior fines from a robocall

110
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:12.000
scheme targeting black voters and other issues, Bertman defended their efforts, saying, quote,

111
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.319
Boozy has no reason to be unhappy. In thirty years

112
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.360
of lobbying, I doubt we have ever done more work

113
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.360
or harder work. The provision in the contract he is

114
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.040
referencing was never agreed to at all. The other factors

115
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.439
that Boozy's quest for a pardon was made much tighter

116
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.279
and tougher by an arrest for a crime of violence

117
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.759
in Texas earlier this year, we tried very very hard.

118
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.680
Boozy had taken the social media to voices frustration. He

119
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.120
posted messages, you know, basically questioning where this money went

120
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.560
and alleging the operatives claims were false. And so as

121
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.519
of now he has not received a pardon and continues

122
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.839
his legal battle to recoup refunds.

123
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.120
So, you know, at first, when I jumped on you know,

124
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.399
reading or the story I'm thinking, how can cold he be?

125
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.519
How could he just give up six hundred grand like

126
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.639
that for something so easily. But you know, I looked

127
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:12.079
up online too. There's a it's this website OpenSecrets dot org.

128
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.120
But it does say that this agency is a lobbying firm.

129
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.040
But when you look at so total compensation that says

130
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.120
in twenty twenty five was up ninety two point eight percent.

131
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:24.639
So I'm like, well, how did they get they have

132
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.079
such greater gains than they had in the in the past.

133
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.879
And it said that they have fifty one clients on file,

134
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.040
but Boosey wasn't his their number one client. Their number

135
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.160
one client was a guy it says, Joseph Schwartz, and

136
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.759
he gave nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars to their agency.

137
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.800
And then there's there's a doctor on here. There's even

138
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:48.000
a Rhino like general contractors with the I don't know

139
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.560
if it's I'm not saying it's Rhino lining, but it's Rhino.

140
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.879
So there's there's other groups in here too that have

141
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.759
given a lot of money. Alpush Patel eighty five grand,

142
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.759
uh Rhino Inc. Forty five grand, Eclipse Therapeutics, and So

143
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.160
this is all I'm going to say allegedly because I

144
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.040
don't you know, I can't confirm that anything that's on

145
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:10.079
the site is true. But it looks like there's only

146
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.680
fifty one clients, but a lot of these clients it

147
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.879
has zero dollars next to their name. So it seems

148
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.800
to me like this really might be a scam, because

149
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.399
why would you say, give me six hundred thousand and

150
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:22.959
then if we can't get it done, I'll give you

151
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.959
back three hundred thousand. I mean that just sounds like, well,

152
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:27.240
give me three hundred thousand.

153
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.279
This is what it sounds like to me. It sounds

154
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.559
like this is a it's definitely a legit firm. I mean,

155
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.600
they're robbing firm. All they do is they basically speak

156
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.960
on your behalf and lobby for you to get a pardon. Yeah,

157
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.879
but they can't guarantee that. If they could guarantee it,

158
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.639
everybody be paying them a million dollars. So what they

159
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:50.000
say is, Okay, we're gonna invest this much time in

160
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.679
getting you a pardon, so boozy, give us six hundred thousand.

161
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.440
If we can't secure it, we're going to give you

162
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.080
three hundred thousand back. Because they've done all this work,

163
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.360
and I guess get compensated for that.

164
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.200
But I read too or did you say that there

165
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:05.440
were typos and stuff in the.

166
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.879
Count where typos in the contract? Uh? Yeah, it was

167
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:14.039
definitely sketch, sketch and not very well. I think all

168
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.000
that sketch. I don't think you should have lobbying firms

169
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.720
for pardons. Yeah, I mean it just average.

170
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.320
Joe couldn't do that, you know. And and that's not

171
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.879
the law is supposed to be in this Country's supposed

172
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.960
to be, you know, blind to what your status is

173
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.720
or you know, and it's supposed to be weighing you

174
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.720
and measuring us all on an equal playing field. And

175
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.759
when money becomes the deciding factor of a pardoner, not

176
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.600
that that's not fair.

177
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.360
Right, and it certainly there's pardons throughout history where it

178
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.120
was legit pardons like like the person wasn't rich, it's

179
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.200
just their story got out and they got a pardon

180
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.320
for whatever reason. Uh. In this case though, it seems

181
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.279
like Boozy was getting taken advantage of it. But it

182
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.799
seems like he's fighting back to you soon them uh

183
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.080
in court. And and maybe he'd get some money for

184
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.759
that if they're on good financial footing.

185
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:05.759
Yeah, well they have money somewhere.

186
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:07.399
Definitely have six hundred grand.

187
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.960
Yeah, yeah, he gave it and it said they made

188
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:12.000
over three million on that thing that I was looking

189
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.519
at last year. So yeah, I'm on team Boosey right now,

190
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.360
and I say we do this. Boozy. Tell them that

191
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.000
I said this, and I'm just going to pull this

192
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.600
out of the sky. But if they want to talk shit,

193
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.639
they want to run their mouth, they want some gangsters

194
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:29.480
outside their house. Set that bitch off, Set that bitch off.

195
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:33.480
There we go take it too, fut I did, But

196
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:36.919
I like Boozy, all right. So let's go to Milton, Florida,

197
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.279
where a Santa Rosa County jury has convicted Stephanie Michelle

198
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.960
Perdue of orchestrating a brazen murder for higher scheme from

199
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.559
behind bars to kill her then husband Sean Perdue after

200
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:50.360
she allegedly shot him in the throat in a separate

201
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.840
domestic violence incident that he miraculously survived. So the verdict

202
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:57.480
brings a dramatic clothes to one of Santa Rosa County's

203
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.679
longest running criminal cases, spanning years of delay, continuances and

204
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:06.679
intense legal maneuvering. Prosecutors argue that Perdue was driven by

205
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.279
a toxic relationship and a desire to eliminate her husband

206
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.200
as a witness or an obstacle. So she first tried

207
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.600
to kill him herself, and then when that failed, she

208
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.600
enlisted others, including her boyfriend, to finish the job using

209
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:24.039
lethal fentanyl doses and cash incentives. So the case traces

210
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.279
back to April of twenty twenty two, when deputies responded

211
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.639
to a domestic disturbance at little Man's Paint and Body

212
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:34.559
Shop in Milton. First, that's what a name for little Man?

213
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.159
I wonder if that was his nick nickname?

214
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:37.879
It was get to it all right.

215
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.799
So, according to authorities, Stephanie Perdue, then fifty years old,

216
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.440
arrived unannounced and shot her husband Sean in the throat.

217
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.759
Sean survived the attack. Perdue was arrested and charged with

218
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.559
aggravated battery involving great bodily harm by discharging a firearm.

219
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:55.960
She claimed self defense, alleging her husband had become violent

220
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.960
during an argument. She was released on bond, but later

221
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.320
violated a domess violence in junction obtained by her husband,

222
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.200
landing her right back in the Santa Rosa County Jail.

223
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.159
So while incarcerated, prosecutor Say Perdue hatched the murder for

224
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.679
hire plot with the help of her boyfriend, So this

225
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:14.440
guy at the time he was fifty one, David Paul Ballier.

226
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:19.159
She allegedly approached at least two inmates who were confidential

227
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.840
informants who reported her to authorities, and she promised them

228
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.759
thousands of dollars in cash, her home, her husband's business,

229
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.919
and she would also promise them protection if they would

230
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.799
kill Sean, who is referred to by Purdue as little Man,

231
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.679
by using those lethal doses of fentanel upon their release.

232
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:41.799
So one informant was reportedly promised ten grand and they

233
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.799
were using code words like attorney and references to quote

234
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:48.639
unquote party planning for her quote unquote grandma, And that

235
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:51.919
was all used to just hide the plot as they

236
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.960
discussed it. Baller reportedly assisted by sharing personal details about

237
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.639
Sean and attempting to help bond an informant out of jail.

238
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.879
Investigators staged a fake death notification to Purdue, which I

239
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.879
love when they do that, I love it. And then

240
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:07.480
sometimes when they go to the extent of like having

241
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.799
pictures that they put makeup. That shit is so legit.

242
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.120
I love it. But they staged a fake death notification

243
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.879
to Purdue, noting that she didn't appear overly upset When

244
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:22.720
informed he was alive. She reportedly expressed relief, and evidence

245
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:27.679
prosecutors used to really underscore the scheme's seriousness of what

246
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:30.840
was going on. Purdue and Ballyer were arrested in February

247
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:34.120
of twenty three on charges including criminal conspiracy to commit

248
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.679
a felony, a capital felony, and criminal solicitation to commit

249
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.080
a capital felony. Each charge carries up to thirty years

250
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.039
in prison. The conspiracy case, which is being handled by

251
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.679
the Assistant State Attorney Mark Alderman, was repeatedly delayed and

252
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:51.320
described as his longest pending matter in the county. A

253
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.440
key pre trial ruling allowed evidence from the shooting to

254
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:59.039
be introduced into the murder for hirer trial to establish motive,

255
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.919
specifically that produce sought to eliminate the key eye witness

256
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.840
in the initial attack. So you know, if you're not

257
00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:08.879
aware of this, you know, just because you have a past,

258
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.159
it doesn't mean that that pass can be used in

259
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:14.480
you a future case. But in this instance it's got

260
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:16.840
to be used in the scope of establishing Look, she

261
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.519
tried before, and now she's doing it again. So Purdue

262
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.840
pleaded not guilty to the charges, and defense attorneys argued

263
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:27.240
against the admissibility of certain evidence, citing potential prejudice, but

264
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:30.480
the court went ahead and moved forward. After hearing testimony

265
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:35.519
from investigators, confidential informants, and others detailing the jailhouse communications,

266
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.039
offers for payment, and the fentnel plan, the jury returned

267
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.240
a guilty verdict on the conspiracy and solicitation charges. Details

268
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.320
of the exact counts and any recommendations for sentencing were

269
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.879
not available at the time of this recording, but convictions

270
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:53.679
on these felonies typically result in significant prison time. The

271
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:57.080
aggravated battery case from the shooting remains separate but tied

272
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.000
with that same underlying motive. According to the process secutors now,

273
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.399
Sean Perdue, who has endured years of delays while seeking

274
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:07.399
to move forward with his life, has expressed relief at

275
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.440
the outcome. In statements leading up to this resolution, the

276
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:14.080
sheriff's officials, including the former sheriff Bob Johnson, had publicly

277
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:18.240
described this case as a twisted love story, including Purdue

278
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:21.679
and volar rather than her marriage, which is kind of

279
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.679
an interesting take. The sentencing for Stephanie is expected in

280
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.200
the coming weeks before a Santa Rosa County Circuit judge.

281
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.919
I mean, why can't we all just get along talk

282
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.240
about a rough divorce. It's gotta be one of the

283
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:38.120
worst shows up. Sheots her husband in the neck and

284
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:41.879
he miraculously survives that, and she ends up going to

285
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.600
jail for it and recruits two other dudes to kill him.

286
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.759
To know that somebody is willing to go to such

287
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:54.879
links to end your life must be just a nerve racking,

288
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.039
you know, experience, because you don't know who's after you.

289
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.000
She's hired, trying to hire people and the scum of

290
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.320
the earth and telling them where you live, you know.

291
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.399
And to look at this lady's picture, I mean she doesn't.

292
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:11.360
I guess you never know what a killer looks like,

293
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:16.799
but she doesn't look like just a stone cold killer.

294
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:18.919
Like to this level. To go keep going it, Just

295
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.879
divorce his ass and be done.

296
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:24.480
Bro, move on. Even when you're in prison.

297
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:26.799
You got a whole last boyfriend and you're still trying

298
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:27.559
to kill your ex.

299
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:31.159
Let's go to Tennessee and a nineteen year old Taco

300
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:35.080
Bell employee in Tennessee was arrested after she allegedly through

301
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:39.559
boiling water on a coworker. Malaya Henderson was arrested on

302
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:43.919
aggravated assault. This is on Sunday, July nineteenth, according to

303
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:48.799
the Shelby County Criminal Justice Division, so the Memphis Police

304
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.159
Department responding to an armed person call at a Taco

305
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:55.960
Bell in Memphis. This is shortly after five pm that day.

306
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.960
Upon their arrival, officers were told an employee had been

307
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:00.879
transported to.

308
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:01.840
A burn center.

309
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.799
After employees and officer spoke with the man at the hospital,

310
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:09.480
he alleged that Henderson had thrown a pot of bowling

311
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.640
water onto his lap. Police said they reviewed video footage

312
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:17.000
showing Henderson throwing the pot of bowling water at that

313
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:21.000
mail employee and advised the man and they were advised

314
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:25.359
at the man sustained second degree burns following the alleged incident.

315
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:28.640
The mail employee, who was not scheduled to work that day,

316
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.119
was visiting the business while Henderson was on the clock.

317
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.359
Henderson told the police that he had been at the

318
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:39.079
restaurant since early that morning and he said this guy

319
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:42.200
kept getting mad at him. That day. He just kept

320
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:44.880
saying a whole bunch of inappropriate things that I did

321
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.759
not like. He kept coming into my personal space. I

322
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.319
kept telling him, hey, man, can you back up. Police

323
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.559
said that Henderson and the mail employee, who was not identified,

324
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.599
were engaged in a kind of like a playful banner

325
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:01.599
before the incident took place. The man claimed while speaking

326
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:05.680
to police, and Henderson playfully snatched away a second T

327
00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:09.240
shirt he was carrying, which caused him to respond by

328
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:13.920
grabbing Henderson's iPad, which was located near the register. The

329
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.039
victim then proceeded to place the iPad in a trap

330
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:20.559
near a trash can inside of that business. Henderson became

331
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.799
upset with the victim and told him that she was

332
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.400
going to burn him with hot water. Henderson is accused

333
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:29.839
of them retrieving the pot of hot water from the

334
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:32.880
kitchen and threw it at the mail employee as he

335
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.000
sat inside the restaurant. Henderson said the last straw was

336
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.960
when he took her iPad. Quote, before you know it,

337
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:44.079
I blanked out after asking him many times to give

338
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:47.359
me my iPad. Right before you know it. Once I

339
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:51.000
blanked out, I was just pouring water on it. Henderson

340
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.200
was released from jail on Wednesday, July twenty second after

341
00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:57.480
pasting a five thousand dollars mind and has the next

342
00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:59.480
court date schedule for August twenty seven.

343
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.440
Sounds like it sounds just like high school because that's

344
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.319
exactly how the fights start, is those kids keep messing without.

345
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.440
Boiling water.

346
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.640
That's what I was about to say, though, because but

347
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:13.759
I always the boys would start play fighting. I'm like, y'all, quit,

348
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:15.359
it's going to turn into something that you know it

349
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:17.599
doesn't need to turn into. And that's exactly how that goes,

350
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:19.480
even if they said it. But you know, you go

351
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.720
to the extent of injuring somebody like that. I mean,

352
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:24.799
second degree burns is more than just a superficial like burn.

353
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.000
I mean that goes down to this blisters down to

354
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.960
the second layer of skin. So, uh, you know, you

355
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.440
might need some anger management, ma'am. You can't flash out

356
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:35.039
and be burning people like that, even if they touch

357
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:35.599
your iPad.

358
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.480
Yeah, that's that's actually pretty horrific. And look, bowling waters

359
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:43.599
no joke. I mean that's a bad way to to

360
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:44.720
get a beaty.

361
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:46.880
You know, I have to tell you this real quick.

362
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.519
My we need dog at my house. Toby Okay, he

363
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:53.079
is a noble steed, and so he will follow you

364
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:55.559
and he will protect you around the yard. Well, my

365
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:58.400
husband was boiling crawfish, okay, and I went inside the

366
00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:00.880
house and next thing I know, I hear my dog's

367
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.880
screaming bloody murder. And I go running out there and

368
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:05.880
my husband's like, I don't know what happened, And I

369
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:09.880
look down. Poor Toby was when he pulled the crawfish out.

370
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:12.799
He was walking, you know, escorting my husband, and it

371
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:16.759
poured on his back. It melted my dog's back, and

372
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:20.920
it took us weeks to like like, sure, get it

373
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.240
better or whatever. Do you know, I mean, he still

374
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.039
hasn't grown any of his hair back or anything. And

375
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.559
they said that it was second degree burns that he got,

376
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:30.799
and you know that to this day is like this

377
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.440
destroyed patch on his little back. He did make it through.

378
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:35.759
So I can't imagine if they poured it down your

379
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:37.599
whole lap, that must have covered his whole, like his

380
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.400
thighs and everything. Huh ew, that's gonna be a long recovery.

381
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:44.559
That was a long story about that. But like burns

382
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:46.960
ain't no damn joke. Right, all right, we're about to

383
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.880
talk about a story now that should get the attention

384
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.359
of every woman in America, not only for what happened,

385
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.079
but where it's happening. Because a new investigative report has

386
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.599
brought attention to a disturbing pattern of sexual assaults targeting

387
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.359
women at the Dollar Tree. But this is across the

388
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:06.640
United States, with some incidents tied to an online subculture

389
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:10.599
and men filming the acts. So, according to a lengthy

390
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:16.000
investigation by the Guardian, multiple women have reportedly been assaulted

391
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:19.200
while shopping at various Dollar Tree locations, and the trend

392
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:22.440
has been referred to online as this is a direct

393
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.519
quote the Dollar Tree. Gooner. Okay, gooner goo n e

394
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:31.599
R so I know, especially when you hear what it is.

395
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:36.680
So gooner draws from an internet subculture centered on prolonged

396
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:44.160
compulsive masturbation known as gooning, like how how did we

397
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:44.839
get here? Guys?

398
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.240
Like how are we masturbation? Gooning?

399
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:51.640
You got to get a good gooning in every now

400
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:54.880
and then, I guess so. Related acts of public sexual

401
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.640
misconduct tarting unsuspecting women have been described in some online communities,

402
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:04.599
with the t such as tagging or sharking tagging to

403
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:06.359
me means when you go when you spray paint the

404
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.200
side of a building, you know, like gangs will go

405
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:14.000
tag the buildings in their neighborhoods. But now it's we're masturbating.

406
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:18.640
So one case highlighted the reporting involving a woman who

407
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:20.400
was shopping at a Dollar Tree in Texas. Now this

408
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:23.039
was in twenty twenty three, and she reported that a

409
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.119
man assaulted her in a manner that involved bodily fluid

410
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.400
So when she informed store employees, she overheard a worker

411
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.200
remark in Spanish something to the effect of we've got

412
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:35.839
another one, according to the account, so that would tell

413
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.640
you what it's been happening over and over. So the

414
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.640
woman later learned of similar reports at other locations, and

415
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.480
her attorney and A. Greenberg, told The Guardian that the

416
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:48.119
scale of the problem was larger than initially expected. Greenberg

417
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.359
has represented multiple women alleging comparable assaults at Dollatry stores

418
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:57.440
in different states, so this included Texas, Florida, California, and Colorado.

419
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:01.160
In a separate high profile incident that was in Philadelphia

420
00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:04.079
in twenty twenty four, a woman recorded the aftermath of

421
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:06.640
an alleged assault in which a man had ejaculated on

422
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.000
her inside a dollar tree. Video of her pursuing the

423
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:14.200
suspect and reacting in distress was online. It circulated wildly,

424
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:16.759
and the man was identified as thirty five year old

425
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:19.960
Gary Miles, who later turned himself into police and faced

426
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:26.039
charges including indecent assault, indecent assault. What type of assault

427
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.720
is decent? We don't know, guys, all right, so indecent assault,

428
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:35.240
open lewdness, and harassment. The case gained attention after the rapper,

429
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:38.960
meek Mill, publicly offered a bounty for information leading to

430
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:44.599
the suspect's location. Meek Mill man, he made the new memory.

431
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:46.880
He was tied up in the diddy thing, right, all right.

432
00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.000
So.

433
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:50.799
Additional reports and lawsuits have documented similar incidents in other

434
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:53.319
cities and Houston, a woman said she was assaulted by

435
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.720
a man who approached her from behind, made explicit comments,

436
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:59.480
and then left bodily fluids on her clothing while she

437
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:01.960
was shopping with a friend. That was in twenty twenty three,

438
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:05.039
and store staff allegedly indicated it was not an isolated

439
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:08.400
event at that location. Other cases have been reported in

440
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:12.000
places including Miami and San Diego, with some of the

441
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.519
women stating they only realized what had occurred after the

442
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:19.799
fact and after reviewing footage, which grosses me out. It

443
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:21.200
makes me feel like they went and got in their

444
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.920
car and looked down and found, you know, fluid on

445
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:27.240
their clothing. So attorneys and victims have pointed to factors

446
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:30.240
such as understaffing limited security at the stores that are

447
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.960
contributing to the vulnerability of shoppers. And there's lawsuits against

448
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.000
the Dollar Tree and related parties that are alleging negligence

449
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.240
and addressing reports of these such crimes.

450
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:48.519
Yeah, first of all, with technology comes a lot of

451
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.440
these issues with these bad actors just figuring out how

452
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.559
to exploit it. But besides all that, these challenges, man,

453
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:59.960
these social media challenges are getting way out of hand,

454
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:02.799
not only with gaining or whatever they call that, but

455
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:07.119
you've got the team takeover stuff that they do on

456
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:12.880
TikTok and all of these things. I don't understand them.

457
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.759
I don't get it. And to blame the Dollar Tree,

458
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:18.319
I'm not sure I'm on board with that, because you know,

459
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:20.680
if these people are coming in, I think that this

460
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:23.039
should actually be an upgraded charge. I think that this

461
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.440
should be considered a sex offense, not just an assault

462
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:31.039
because if you're willing to. It's not like you just

463
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:32.759
flashed yourself, you know what I'm saying, which is not

464
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:34.759
cool either way. But I mean like you're depositing your

465
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:40.000
bodily fluids on somebody, then that's predatory. And when you

466
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:44.640
look at like a sex charge, it'll say, you know, penetration,

467
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:48.319
no matter how slight is the wording in a lot

468
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.079
of your sex crimes. So to me, there doesn't have

469
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:55.000
to be penetration for this to be considered a sex crime.

470
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:57.119
And so I don't know. I think this should be

471
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:59.279
upgraded and I don't think that it should just be

472
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:03.359
considered just like an indecent assault. This to me, you

473
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:05.839
should be on a registration for shit like this. I

474
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:07.920
really believe that. I truly believe that if you have

475
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.720
the gall to go in and publicly ejaculate on somebody,

476
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:14.160
that's more than just being obnoxious.

477
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:16.599
I can't agree with him more.

478
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:18.119
I don't know how you could be that aroused.

479
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:22.519
Yeah I don't either, And you know, belok, ladies be

480
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:25.720
vigilant in the dollars and hit him.

481
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:28.680
Yeah that is not that I probably shouldn't say that,

482
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:31.400
but that is my unsolicited bad advice.

483
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:35.440
Sure you should if somebody's masturbating by you kick him

484
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:35.920
in the ding.

485
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.240
Dingy, kick him in the ding ding. Let's d gunham,

486
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:39.119
you gunham.

487
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:42.839
All right, let's go on the True Crime Time Machine

488
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:44.960
by Boo booty boo boo boo boom, and we're going

489
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.680
to go to South Florida where uh, we're actually going

490
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.440
to take you to July twenty seventh of nineteen eighty one.

491
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:55.680
And look, y'all, I remember this like it was yesterday

492
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.240
because me and the boy that I'm about to talk

493
00:26:58.279 --> 00:26:59.839
about on here were the same age.

494
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:01.240
I thought you're gonna say youll were friends.

495
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:04.599
I don't know why, but we were the same age.

496
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:08.240
And this scared the living daylights out of me because

497
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:10.599
they made it was all over the news, and then

498
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:13.519
they had like TV movies and all these sorts of things.

499
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:17.720
But what occurred was on Monday, July twenty seventh of

500
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:21.400
nineteen eighty one, a six year old boy vanished from

501
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:24.200
a department store in a matter of minutes. What followed

502
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:28.559
would change the way America searched for missing children forever.

503
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:32.400
Adam Walsh's mother had taken her son, Adam shopping at

504
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:37.039
a Hollywood mall in Hollywood, Florida, and inside the Seers store,

505
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:39.200
she left him for just a few minutes in the

506
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.279
tour department, where a group of older boys were playing

507
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:46.240
video games. When she returned, Adam was gone. A security

508
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:49.000
guard had ordered the boys out of the store for

509
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:52.400
causing a disturbance, and Adam, who was a shy child,

510
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.599
apparently left with them or was somehow separated in the

511
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.759
confusion outside the store. He disappeared. By the time his

512
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.960
mother realized the boy was missing, the boy had already

513
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:07.359
been taken. What Thalib was one of the largest manhunts

514
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:10.359
in Florida history. Posters of the freckle faced boy in

515
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:15.000
the baseball cap flooded the region, and John Walsh, Adam's father,

516
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:19.359
made an emotional public plea as the nation watched. Two

517
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:22.920
weeks later, on August tenth of nineteen eighty one, two

518
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:27.079
fishermen found a child's severed head in a drainage canal

519
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.880
off of the Florida Turnpike near Vero Beach, more than

520
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.279
one hundred miles north of Mall. It was Adam. His

521
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:39.480
body was never recovered. Now this case remained unsolved for decades.

522
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:44.400
In nineteen eighty three, convicted serial killer Otis Toole confessed

523
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:47.119
to the crime, claiming he had lured at him into

524
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:50.440
his car with promises of toys and candy, and then

525
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:55.240
killed him. Now Tool later recanted. Key physical evidence, including

526
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:59.880
bloodstained carpeting from the Cadillac, was lost, and in December

527
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.640
two thousand and eight, Hollywood police officially closed the case,

528
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.960
saying they were satisfied Tool was responsible. The murder about

529
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.960
Adam Walsh did more than devastate the family or one family.

530
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.519
It really forced the country to confront how it treated

531
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:19.160
missing children. At the time, there was no national system

532
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:23.200
to quickly share information about abducted kids. There were no

533
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:28.000
Amber alerts, Pictures of missing children didn't appear on milk gardens.

534
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.759
Adam's parents refused to let their son's death be forgotten.

535
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:35.799
John Walsh became one of the most visible victim advocates

536
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:39.839
advocates in America and later hosted If You'll Remember, the

537
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:43.880
long running TV series America's Most Wanted. The family helped

538
00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:47.920
push for the Missing Children's Act and the creation of

539
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:51.880
the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The image

540
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.200
of that little boy left alone in the toyisle still

541
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:59.960
haunts the public imagination on July twenty seventh, nineteen eighty one,

542
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:04.279
a few minutes of ordinary parenting turned into a national

543
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:07.240
tragedy and the beginning of a movement that has helped

544
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.759
recover thousands of other children. And that, y'all, happened forty

545
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:17.200
five years ago today, on July twenty seventh, nineteen eighty one.

546
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:20.119
I wasn't even born yet, because I wasn't born, you know,

547
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:23.640
until eighty four. But the fact that I grew up

548
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:26.480
knowing this story shows you the impact that this had

549
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:31.640
on everybody. And you know, when when tragedies like this strike,

550
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:33.720
there's nothing you can say or do. I mean, my god,

551
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:35.519
his head was all that was returned to his parents.

552
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:38.480
I mean, how do you even how do you even

553
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:41.640
respond to that or wrap your mind around it? But

554
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.480
this much, I know, I am such a fan of people,

555
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.240
and I'll say parents, but people that look at a

556
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:53.119
tragedy and then recognize all of the problems that led

557
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:57.559
up to it becoming such a problem, and then they

558
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:00.839
take the they take the initiative to go, oh, hell no,

559
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:04.799
my child is gone. But I refuse to let another

560
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:07.240
parent go through what I have gone through because it

561
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:09.720
has hurt me so bad and so deeply and then

562
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:13.519
to be to just make something of this level out

563
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:15.599
of the loss of Adam. I think that his parents,

564
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:20.200
especially his dad, created a legacy that Adam would be

565
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:23.680
so proud of. And we don't really know what happened

566
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:25.599
to him, you know, we don't know what he went through.

567
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:29.400
We don't know, and those unknowns are heartbreaking. But if

568
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:33.119
ever good could come out of evil, his dad got

569
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:33.759
it done.

570
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:36.480
Yeah, there's no doubt about it. And I'm not convinced

571
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:39.799
that Otis Tool actually killed Adam Walls.

572
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:40.640
What did Otool?

573
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:45.680
I want to because his first name started with A

574
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:49.000
could be that could be Otis too.

575
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.440
Yeah. Yeah, I don't remember being convinced either that he

576
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:54.640
did it, Like maybe he was just trying to take well.

577
00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:57.480
He was known for confessing the crimes he didn't commit.

578
00:31:57.640 --> 00:31:57.880
Yeah.

579
00:31:58.200 --> 00:32:00.680
Uh. He was a horrible serial killer. There's no doubt

580
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:03.920
about it. He was a transiit and he and another

581
00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:06.680
serial killer actually would ride the country just killing people.

582
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:11.759
Whole another story. But it didn't surprise me that he

583
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:15.640
confessed to it because he was known for confessing to

584
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:18.960
high profile crimes. And this was in nineteen eighty three

585
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:21.599
when he made that confession. And it was a kind

586
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:25.599
of the height of this case, and so it would

587
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:28.000
be typical of him. Now I'm not saying he didn't,

588
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:32.000
but I guess we'll never know. But you're right, I

589
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:35.000
mean in saying turning lemons into lemonade is a really

590
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:40.160
corny way of describing it. But his family really ram

591
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:44.000
with that and did everything they could and made it

592
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:48.279
their life's work in business to like you say, stop

593
00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:52.680
this from happening to other children. Horrific. Could not imagine it,

594
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:59.119
and I'm telling you it scared the hell out of kids. Yeah,

595
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:05.480
and remember everybody, parents changed the way they even allowed

596
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.359
their kids freedom inside of malls. After that. You didn't

597
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:11.000
take your eyes off your kids, not even if they

598
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:13.599
were on an aisle. You were on the aisle. It

599
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:16.480
never was like that before nineteen eighty one. No, and

600
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.799
you never thought somebody would steal your kid. It's crazy

601
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:23.319
how society changed after that incident.

602
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:26.440
Even moving forward from that. You know, as a kid

603
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:28.720
in the eighties, you know, Mama let me ride my

604
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:30.599
bike and I'd be gone all day long with my

605
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:32.880
with my buddies in the neighborhood. You know, we check

606
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:34.680
in every now and then, but we got to just play,

607
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:36.160
and the rule was like that, you know, be home

608
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.839
when the street light came on. Now you can't even

609
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:42.960
let your kids go play outside really without a fear

610
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:45.839
in the back of your mind that a predator might

611
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:49.720
snatch up your kid. And it's not that it's happening

612
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:51.880
more now. A lot of people go, oh, man, crimes

613
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:53.680
just out of control. Now, I don't think that's the case.

614
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:56.279
I think that just with technology, yeah, and with social

615
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:59.759
media and all that, more we need if you will,

616
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:02.519
we know, and where we used to have to not

617
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:05.759
have to, but where this used to be more hidden

618
00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:07.400
in things that you didn't want to share, like the

619
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:10.960
public couldn't take it. Now it's in our face. It's everywhere,

620
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:13.719
and so you know, you have to watch your kids

621
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:18.199
and they unfortunately learned a very very tragic lesson that

622
00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:21.440
day that evil's out there. Yeah, you know, all right,

623
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:27.559
let's go to Tennessee where something just mind blowing occurred.

624
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:31.760
So tragedy was averted at an afternoon pool party in

625
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:37.000
Tennessee last Wednesday when a child stepped up and went

626
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:41.000
and got help. Because this child witnessed a woman trying

627
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:44.920
to drown another child. Deputies were called to the scene

628
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:48.119
and spoke with multiple witnesses who identified the suspect as

629
00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:51.000
thirty one year old mckaylee and I think this is Barny.

630
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:53.760
She had already left the home by the time that

631
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:56.079
deputies got there, but she was Eventually they were able

632
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:58.199
to track her down and take her into custody, where

633
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.199
she was charged with aggravated ch wild abuse and neglect.

634
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:04.000
So According to the release, a group of children were

635
00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:07.159
left alone in the pool with this woman around five

636
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:10.599
pm that day when one of the children came inside

637
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:14.840
to alert the other that Bernie was forcing one child underwater.

638
00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:18.000
The adult witness ran outside to the pool and demanded

639
00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:20.360
that she released the child, but she wouldn't do it.

640
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:22.719
She wouldn't let go of the kid, and the witness

641
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:25.599
then grabbed Bernie and assisted the child out of the water.

642
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.440
Once the child was safe from harm, the adult moved

643
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:30.960
all of the children inside the home and called law enforcement.

644
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:33.960
The Sheriff's Department said another adult arrived and had a

645
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.360
brief interaction with Barnie before she left in her vehicle

646
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.719
and deputies arrived on scene. Deputies observed that the child

647
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:44.039
had minor injuries and bruising consistent with the alleged attack

648
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:47.639
described to them by eyewitnesses, and Barnie is now being

649
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:50.280
held on a fifty thousand dollars bond at the Washington

650
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:51.840
County Detention Center.

651
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:58.719
You know, that case right there is just disturbing. Why

652
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:04.199
trying to drowned this kid and thank god this other kid?

653
00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:08.519
Yeah, you know alert, Yeah, what a hero? Seriously, what

654
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.880
a hero? I have questions like, and I know we

655
00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:13.639
don't know this, but was it a public pool where

656
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:16.760
they had an apartment complex? What was going on? And

657
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:19.599
I don't want to be judgy, but the woman looks

658
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.159
like she might be someone who likes to, you know,

659
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:24.719
partake in maybe drugs or something.

660
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:25.480
But I.

661
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:30.960
For sure. But I've mentioned this before, but you know,

662
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:34.880
I have a family member whose child, his life was

663
00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:38.199
tragically altered in a situation just like this. But a

664
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:41.400
woman was on drugs and she grabbed I'll say it's

665
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:44.239
my nephew, but it's not quite right, but grab my nephew,

666
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:47.039
jumped in the deep end of the pool and drowned him.

667
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:51.000
And so they oh, yeah, they were able to pull

668
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.800
him out and he survived, but he's not His life

669
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:57.880
was ruined. I mean, he's you know, he was very

670
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:01.519
much alter. Yeah, he's blind, he's in a wheelchair. He

671
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:04.639
doesn't you know? And why there's no answer. The woman

672
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:06.400
was just I think she was on drugs, but she

673
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:08.800
just snatched him out of his little stroller where he

674
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:11.800
was sitting and jumped in the deep end. There's something

675
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:15.639
to this, evil drugs, whatever it was. But let me

676
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:18.920
tell you whoever that child is deserves an award because

677
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:21.559
he saved a life that day.

678
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:27.320
Absolutely one hundred percent. Let's go to Coleman, Alabama for

679
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:33.360
this week's edition of Elderly Outlaws. And that was kind

680
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:36.079
of a weird get off my lawn.

681
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.400
I don't know whatever our our interests, what it should be.

682
00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:44.800
A seventy five year old Alabama attorney and former prosecutors

683
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:49.239
stands accused of attempting to kill her husband by lacing

684
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:54.239
his food and drink with fentanyl on multiple occasions. Fentanyl again.

685
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:59.559
I'm second story today. Sarah Baker, a longtime lawyer in Coleman, Alabama,

686
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:03.880
with the experience in criminal defense, divorce, and custody cases,

687
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:08.559
was arrested on eleven felon accounts including conspiracy to commit murder,

688
00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:13.199
three counts of attempted murder, second degree domestic violence elderly

689
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:17.920
abuse in several drug related offenses. According to the criminal complaint,

690
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:22.400
Baker allegedly put fentanyl in her husband, James Doule Baker's

691
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:26.559
food and drink on at least three dates in September

692
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:31.119
of twenty twenty five, September fourth, the twelfth, and the twentieth.

693
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:36.039
The conspiracy charge spans from early September through late November,

694
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:38.960
so she was trying to poison him over time to

695
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:43.400
where it would be harder to detect. Prosecutors claimed Baker

696
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:46.920
engaged with one or more individuals to obtain fentanyl with

697
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:51.119
the intent to cause her husband's death. James Baker reportedly

698
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:54.880
suffered a stroke and relied on his wife as primary caregiver,

699
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:59.440
and he survived the alleged attempts but suffered physical impairment.

700
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:02.559
Of thirty nine year old woman identified as one of

701
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:06.280
Baker's clients and a witness in the case, faces separate

702
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:10.559
charges related to that investigation. She is accused of get

703
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:14.800
this hold onto your seats, swallowing fentanyl in an attempt

704
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:21.239
to destroy the evidence, and processing possessing rather burglary tools.

705
00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:24.880
Baker was taken into custody on Tuesday, night and later

706
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:28.599
suspended from the Alabama bar I'm gonna get that. The

707
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:32.400
Alabama Supreme Court appointed a special judge to preside over

708
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:36.199
the case. Now, the couple had been married for thirty years,

709
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:41.400
and despite the serious allegations, reports indicate James Baker has

710
00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:44.800
expressed a desire to stand by his wife. Why he's

711
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:48.119
a better man than me. Authorities obtained evidence, including a

712
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:53.719
safe containing purple powder that tested positive for fentanyl. Investigators

713
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:59.920
also reviewed communications and witness statements detailing Baker's alleged efforts

714
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:01.880
to procure that drug.

715
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:08.119
Former prosecutor, Yeah, that's probably how she learned what to

716
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:10.599
do here and who to contact and all that kind

717
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:16.480
of stuff. But you know, part of me wonders, what, what?

718
00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:19.559
What the motive here was? Because didn't I say he

719
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:20.880
suffered as stroke, Yeah, and.

720
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:24.000
That she was his primary caregiver kind of RELI relied

721
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:25.199
on her. I mean, of course, that's no.

722
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:27.880
Motive to kill him, No, no, no, no no. I'm curious though.

723
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:30.079
My mind was going to what is her defense going

724
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:33.719
to be? And I'm want to Yeah, I bet she's

725
00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:36.079
going to come back and say compassion, you know, I

726
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:38.360
bet she comes back and says the doctors weren't giving him,

727
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:40.239
you know, what he needed, and this was compassion. And

728
00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:43.559
I always trying blah blah blah blah blah blah blah whatever, lady,

729
00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:48.760
that ain't how you go about it. And for shame,

730
00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:51.000
here for shame. You know, you're there's a lot more

731
00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:53.360
expected of someone who is a member of the bar

732
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:54.320
and who.

733
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:56.599
Is seventy five years old.

734
00:40:56.760 --> 00:41:01.079
Yeah, seventy. This is a absolute page right out of

735
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:05.239
the book of Corey Richins, you know, when she tried

736
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:07.360
to murder her husband and finally got him with the fentanyl.

737
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:11.559
But an elderly, very elderly version of that. And so

738
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:15.000
there you have it. Elderly outlaws, Get off my lawn.

739
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:18.800
I love it. You did a little vocal for us. Perfect.

740
00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:20.119
That shirt's got you just films.

741
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.639
Yeah, oh, y'all. Kelly hasn't talked about the shirt, but

742
00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:26.079
she's in love with the shirt I have.

743
00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:29.159
I said he looked like gold Member from uh what

744
00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:29.519
was that?

745
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:34.400
Look? If you're watching the Patreon this is l Su

746
00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:38.400
gold and it is the last day of SEC media

747
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:41.000
Days and I always wear this every year for that.

748
00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:44.679
He is the most uh what is the not flamboyant

749
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:51.239
what is it you're you're probably he's got bright He's

750
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:53.400
like bright colors and all that. I come in in

751
00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:56.960
my black shirt, you know, every time, and like we're

752
00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:57.960
opposites attracting.

753
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:03.519
She's got her yoga pants on her T shirt. She's like, look, gee,

754

00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:07.880
hate on me because I got style and you don't.

756
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:10.400
I said, you need some pants, you need some chan,

757
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:12.480
need some chains in a pinky ring.

758
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:14.840
Broight, Hey, I'll do it, do it.

759
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:18.360
Heartbeat, all right, speaking of being fancy, maybe I could

760
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:21.159
afford better than these leggings in this T shirt if

761
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:23.159
you and I could come up with a scam like

762
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:26.320
this guy. All right, look, I'm telling you I've got

763
00:42:26.360 --> 00:42:31.119
I've got our futures planned. A man accused of masterminding

764
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:35.360
a massive Medicare fraud scheme involving more than all right,

765
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:40.800
y'all count okay, five hundred and forty seven million dollars Jesus,

766
00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:45.559
oh my god in billings through diagnostic laboratories, including one

767
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:49.119
in Louisiana, has been captured overseas and returned to the

768
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:55.039
US after nearly four years as a fugitive. Khalid Satari

769
00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:57.840
was taking it a custody Monday and transported back to

770
00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:00.880
the US on Tuesday. According to the FED, The Department

771
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:03.960
of Justice was expected to release further details on the capture.

772
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:08.280
Satari has been listed on the FBI's Most Wanted Fraudster list,

773
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:10.719
with a reward of up to one hundred and fifty

774
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:14.639
thousand dollars offered for information leading to his arrest and conviction.

775
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:18.199
So hopefully someone's one hundred and fifty thousand dollars richer

776
00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:22.400
right now. Satari was indicted in September of twenty nineteen

777
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:24.559
by the US District Court in the Eastern District of

778
00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:28.159
Louisiana in New Orleans, and he faced charges including conspiracy

779
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:31.480
to commit healthcare fraud and wire fraud, health care fraud,

780
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:34.800
conspiracy to defraud the US and to pay and receive

781
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:40.559
illegal healthcare kickbacks and bribes, and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments.

782
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:42.679
You know how much paper it takes just to print out

783
00:43:42.679 --> 00:43:47.599
his charges. Prosecutors alleged that between twenty sixteen and twenty nineteen,

784
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:52.559
Satari owned and operated multiple diagnostic testing laboratories across the country,

785
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:58.079
including performance laboratories in Oklahoma, Cleo, labs in Georgia and

786
00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:02.880
Lazarus services in Louisiana. The labs allegedly build Medicare for expensive,

787
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:09.079
medically unnecessary cancer genetic tests, often generated through telemarketing campaigns,

788
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:13.840
patient recruiters, health farees, and telemedicine arrangements. Tests were sometimes

789
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:16.480
ordered by doctors who did not examine or even speak

790
00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:19.960
with the patients. According to the indictment, that's some dirty

791
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:20.920
shit right there.

792
00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:22.039
Wow.

793
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:26.840
So the laboratories collectively submitted approximately five hundred and forty

794
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:30.880
seven million dollars in claims to Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans.

795
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:34.719
Authorities said the programs reimbursed roughly one hundred and thirty

796
00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:40.880
four million. Sataried and alleged co conspirat conspirators purportedly paid

797
00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:44.360
millions in illegal kickbacks and bribes to doctors and recruiters

798
00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:48.039
in exchange for patient referrals, DNA samples, and orders that

799
00:44:48.239 --> 00:44:51.880
enabled the billing. Federal authority sees sixteen bank accounts and

800
00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:57.360
restrained real estate. That was restrained real estate. I'm sure

801
00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:00.239
it's that they took into their custody real estately to

802
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:03.400
Satari as part of the original case. After his indictment,

803
00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:06.119
Satari was arrested and released on bond with conditions that

804
00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:09.000
prohibited him from working in the healthcare field. While on

805
00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:12.559
pre trial release, he allegedly continued involvement with Houston area

806
00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:17.400
labs that submitted additional fraudulent genetic testing claims. A federal

807
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:20.079
arrest warrant was issued on November twenty third of twenty

808
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:23.159
twenty two for violating the conditions, but he failed to

809
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:26.079
appear in court and then became a fugitive. The FBI

810
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:28.679
added Satari to its Most Wanted Fraudster list in twenty

811
00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:32.760
twenty six, amid a broader national health care fraud enforcement effort.

812
00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:37.320
Officials noted possible ties or travel to locations including Houston, Atlanta,

813
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:42.800
Delray Beach, Florida, Dubai, the United Arab emortas.

814
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:43.800
How do you say Emirates?

815
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:48.679
Emirates? I don't think I've ever seen ab, Yeah, but

816
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:49.400
I but I have always.

817
00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:53.480
Have you ever read a University of Alabama, bir Have

818
00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:56.159
you ever read Have you ever read a word wrong

819
00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:58.360
your whole life and knew that you didn't know how

820
00:45:58.360 --> 00:45:59.400
to pronounce it? No?

821
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:02.320
Never, never, Well, I have, and that I've always said that.

822
00:46:02.360 --> 00:46:04.960
As emeirodus in my heads.

823
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:09.280
Cool, I've mispronounced many many words. I just didn't know

824
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:10.400
they were I was.

825
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:14.320
Tested and I'm not perfect, so either way. And so

826
00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:17.480
Dubai was listed as one of his possible locations and

827
00:46:17.960 --> 00:46:19.519
they got him. He's a little bitty dude.

828
00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:23.119
Yeah, and uh, you know, when you're wondering why your

829
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:27.119
healthcare is so expensive, there's a good reason for it. Look,

830
00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:31.320
five hundred and forty seven million dollars, y'all is a

831
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:34.079
boatload of money. And I know we all know that,

832
00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:36.800
but we can't even wrap our minds around the amount

833
00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:40.920
of money that this sucker stole. What a piece of trash.

834
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:42.280
And I think you should go to jail for the

835
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:43.639
rest of your life for shit.

836
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:46.119
Like you know what else. I think that these doctors

837
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:49.320
should be held accountable if they didn't even if they

838
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:53.360
didn't even have those patients. You didn't even review those records.

839
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:57.960
But yeah, absolutely no, and I would imagine they will

840
00:46:58.000 --> 00:46:59.920
be in the in the end. They're going to run

841
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:02.639
up other people. He was just a ring Later sounds

842
00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:07.840
like he owned the companies. But that is a boatload

843
00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:10.559
of money, and that is the reason. You know, these

844
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:14.360
frauds that take place, whether it's insurance fraud for cars,

845
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:17.559
you know, car insurance things like that. That is why

846
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:21.119
these things cost so much money for US regular citizens.

847
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:23.480
And something like that ought to piss everybody, Yeah.

848
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:25.079
Because we're the ones that are paying the price. And

849
00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:27.119
I'm gonna tell you I had to get Jeanetta why

850
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:29.039
they called him. I had to get genetic testing done

851
00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:34.280
myself back in the gap because of a cancer issue,

852
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:36.519
and so you know, they drew my blood. I went

853
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:38.280
through the whole process, and you know, they lost it.

854
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:40.719
So the lab contacted me and I had to go

855
00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:43.840
through the whole thing again to get that genetic testing done.

856
00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:46.480
Now I want to go back and see was that

857
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:49.199
the lab? Yeah, I'd be curious.

858
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:53.000
Might well be? All right? Look, I told you all

859
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:54.760
at the beginning of this one that we were going

860
00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:58.360
to have maybe even just a one episode segment. It

861
00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:01.039
probably come back every now and then every once in

862
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:04.039
a while we running closs these stories. But we're gonna

863
00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:07.000
call this our Karen's Gone Wild segment.

864
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:08.719
Let me talk to the manager.

865
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:12.199
There's a sound for you. Very good, Kelly. Well, we've already,

866
00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:14.639
as I said, talked about Taco Bell, but we're gonna

867
00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:17.239
bring you another one. A thirty year old woman faces

868
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:21.159
multiple charges after pulling a handgun and threatening taco bell

869
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:25.079
employees during a dispute over how long her food order

870
00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:29.880
was taken. Ashley Andrews became frustrated while waiting at a

871
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:33.360
Taco Bell when deputies say she engaged in a verbal

872
00:48:33.480 --> 00:48:39.239
altercation with staff before escalating the situation dramatically. Restaurant workers

873
00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:42.119
told investigators Andrews told them to meet her.

874
00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:45.360
Outside, catch me outside, howbut me outside.

875
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:49.000
Lifted her shirt and revealed a loaded firearm and placed

876
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.079
her hand on the grip in a threatening manner. Deputies

877
00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:56.440
responded quickly detained her without incident. She was arrested and

878
00:48:56.559 --> 00:49:00.800
charged with get this several missdemeanors, including that's involving a

879
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:04.280
dangerous weapon, which should be a felony. A second person

880
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:08.079
was involved in the verbal dispute and they were also detained.

881
00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:11.239
No one was injured, and the loaded hand gun was

882
00:49:11.320 --> 00:49:12.880
secured by authorities.

883
00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:16.440
So this right here looks like a little care Yeah,

884
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:19.719
this is what bothers me right here, You, ma'am are

885
00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:23.639
the prime example of why we have so many gun

886
00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:26.119
issues and discussions.

887
00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:28.239
In the United States of America. When I'll tell you

888
00:49:28.360 --> 00:49:31.280
right now, I am all about carrying a weapon. I'm

889
00:49:31.360 --> 00:49:34.760
all about it, but there are there is expectations with

890
00:49:34.840 --> 00:49:37.800
a weapon, and that bullshit right there isn't one of them.

891
00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:39.679
You know what I'm saying. That is to protect your

892
00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:42.079
life or the life of someone else in a liver

893
00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:44.519
dye moment. And then you're going to run around wanting

894
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:47.039
to threaten people with a gun. First of all, that

895
00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:52.360
is the number one thing that a coward does. A

896
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:56.039
coward flashes a weapon in their pants over fucking taco bell.

897
00:49:56.440 --> 00:50:00.719
It really bothers me too long, I don't care. They

898
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:03.679
should have taken the dad gum taco and smacked her

899
00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:08.960
upside of damn headway. Yeah, well, okay, whatever, But for real,

900
00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:12.360
you ma'am, are the You are literally the reason that

901
00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:15.840
dumb shit happens. And then law abiding citizens who just

902
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:18.000
want to have a way to protect their families are

903
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:19.960
the ones that are getting shit on because you can't

904
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:20.800
control yourself.

905
00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:23.320
There go Ashley and Drewy straight from kJ or.

906
00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:28.920
So that's right, let me talk to the manager. All right,

907
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:31.639
This one here is one that I think a lot

908
00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:37.079
of people may be familiar with. But the Long Island Lolita, right, yep,

909
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:41.519
So her son, Amy Fisher. Her son is accused of

910
00:50:41.639 --> 00:50:44.840
killing his family's pet cat in a manner investigator say

911
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:49.760
may have involved a microwave. So Brett Anthony Bellera twenty five,

912
00:50:49.760 --> 00:50:52.920
and his girlfriend, Jennifer or Menti thirty six, are each

913
00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:56.519
charged with aggravated animal cruelty in connection with the December

914
00:50:56.559 --> 00:50:59.760
twenty twenty four death of their cat, who's unfortunately his

915
00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:02.800
name Reaper. It's kind of dark, I do you think

916
00:51:03.119 --> 00:51:05.639
all right? So Bellera is the eldest son of Fisher,

917
00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:08.760
who pled guilty to aggravated assault in the nineteen ninety

918
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:12.000
two shooting of Mary Joe Buttafuco during an affair with

919
00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:16.159
Buttafuco's husband, Joey Well. Fisher was released from prison in

920
00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:19.719
nineteen ninety nine after serving seven years. According to a

921
00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:24.599
probable cause affidavit, Broward County Animal Care contacted Fort Lauderdale

922
00:51:24.679 --> 00:51:29.920
police after Armenti reported that Reaper had died. Armentti allegedly

923
00:51:29.960 --> 00:51:32.480
told investigators that she woke up and found the cat

924
00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:36.320
dead on the bathroom floor. When animal care officers arrived,

925
00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:39.960
they allegedly found Reaper's body inside a plastic laundry basket

926
00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:43.000
on the back patio with blood pooled at the bottom

927
00:51:43.039 --> 00:51:46.840
of the basket. Billera allegedly told investigators that Reaper may

928
00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:50.360
have consumed cleaning products and died from accidental poisoning. The

929
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:54.000
cat's body was sent to the ASPCA for a forensic necropsy,

930
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:58.039
according to the affidavit. Well, when that was done, they

931
00:51:58.079 --> 00:52:02.800
concluded that Reaper died from UOTE involuntary heat exposure in quote,

932
00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:07.719
which the forensic veternarian said may have resulted from microwave radiation,

933
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:11.320
Oh my god, submersion in hot water, or exposure to

934
00:52:11.360 --> 00:52:15.119
hot water vapor. The veternarian also concluded that Reaper did

935
00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:18.719
not die immediately and experienced severe pain and suffering before

936
00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:21.480
his death. Balera was charged in the case while he

937
00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:24.599
was already being held on unrelated charges. Our Many was

938
00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:28.239
arrested on June seventeenth. So court record show Billera had

939
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:31.880
previously faced charges in Broward County, including burglary, drug possession,

940
00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:35.599
and domestic battery. A judge ordered Billera not to possess

941
00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:39.239
any animals while on pre trial release in this cruelty case.

942
00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:43.440
Yeah, and you know what surprised me about that one

943
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:47.920
was mayn they, I guess shout out to the Florida

944
00:52:48.599 --> 00:52:51.480
police for taking it that fall. Yeah, they had this,

945
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:56.559
They basically had another an autopsy done on this cap. Yeah,

946
00:52:56.599 --> 00:52:59.679
they were so suspicious something was not right here.

947
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:03.840
Yeah, and you look at the tattoos. We have the

948
00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:06.920
pictures obviously up if you're watching this podcast, and Jennifer's

949
00:53:06.920 --> 00:53:10.000
got a big cross tattooed on her neck.

950
00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:14.960
Well, what we think is might be a pentagram. You

951
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:16.320
can't see the rest of it.

952
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:20.519
But you know, like, you're way too damn old to be,

953
00:53:20.760 --> 00:53:23.079
first of all, acting like this. You got burglary charges,

954
00:53:23.119 --> 00:53:25.280
but obviously y'all are a bunch of numb nuts who

955
00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:28.519
are not being official to society. But then to torture

956
00:53:29.519 --> 00:53:31.960
something that's supposed to be your pet shows me that

957
00:53:32.039 --> 00:53:32.679
y'all are both.

958
00:53:33.440 --> 00:53:38.320
Yeah, what a shock that this was the Long Islandlito's saw.

959
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:41.960
Yeah, I know, you think she would just raised a gentleman.

960
00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:42.760
Imagine that.

961
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:45.280
Who could have thunk it? Never saw that coming, Joey.

962
00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:49.079
But if you remember that case, I do very much so.

963
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:52.800
And that poor woman still Fisher, Yeah, suffered a.

964
00:53:53.679 --> 00:53:57.599
You know, yeah, shot that woman in the head. She

965
00:53:57.760 --> 00:53:59.800
was just in high school at that time, senior in

966
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:03.880
high school. Wild yeah, crazy case. All right, Uh that's

967
00:54:03.920 --> 00:54:06.119
all we got for you today. We're not going to

968
00:54:06.159 --> 00:54:08.719
go into overtime since issues. This is a just a

969
00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:13.400
regular uh you know, extra episode. But Kelly, any final thoughts.

about your final thoughts.

972
00:54:18.800 --> 00:54:23.440
