Woman in Kentucky gets evicted and then gets payback by

setting the entire apartment complex on fire.

13
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:09.640
Makes sense, Yeah.

14
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.599

Yeah, and it's commercial free, so you know, all the

25
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.480
good stuff there. But let's get into what has been

26
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.400
going on in the world of crime. And we're going

27
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.200
to start off in sag Harbor, New York, and we're

28
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.079
going to talk about a pretty famous singer by the

29
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.480
name of Justin Timberlake. Bye bye.

30
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.599
That was my teenage dream, went to many a concert.

31
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:09.599
Well, he has really embarrassed himself, I guess. Some police

32
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.800
bodycam footage showing the pop superstar Justin Timberlake during his

33
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.960
drunken driving arrest in the Hamptons nearly two years ago,

34
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.960
was released this past Friday. It gave the public its

35
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.840
first unfiltered look at a roadside stop that led to

36
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.240
criminal charges. Now. The roughly eight hour video, of course,

37
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.680
released in a redacted form by the sag Harbor Police

38
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:38.280
Department on March twentieth, twenty twenty six, captures Timberlake, then

39
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.439
forty three, struggling through standard field sobriety tests after officers

40
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.960
pulled him over late in the night on June eighteenth,

41
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.000
of twenty twenty four, he had allegedly run a stop

42
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.280
sign and veered out of his lane while driving a

43
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.360
BMW away from the American Hotel in Sag Harbor. In

44
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.199
the footage, Timberlake appears cooperative but nervous. He tells officers, quote,

45
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.560
I'm a little nervous while attempting to walk a straight

46
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.560
line and stand on one leg. I bet he was.

47
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.960
At one point, he blurts out quote these are really

48
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.360
hard tests and adds my heart's racing. He informs the

49
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.800
officers he had quote one Martini, which means way more. Yeah,

50
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.800
Eva Vader was the strongest Martini ever known of the man.

51
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.439
If you watch that video.

52
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.599
Martini hold the olive juice right.

53
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.039
He also mentions that he was on tour in for Memphis.

54
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.479
A female friend who was with him at the time

55
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.400
has seen reacting with shock as officers placed Timberlake under

56
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:40.240
arrest for driving while intoxicated. Now, what is absolutely hilarious

57
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.439
to me was at one point in which the officer

58
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.280
realizes that it's justin Timberlake he had just pulled over.

59
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.719
You got to keep in mind it's dark, y'all, it's

60
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.560
the middle of the night, and the officer did not

61
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.039
immediately realize who he had pulled over. I want you

62
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.199
to listen to this quick clip and the officer's reaction

63
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.719
when Timber like identify as himself.

64
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.840
So the reason why it stops because you're keep veering

65
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.400
off to the left and then you're not.

66
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:07.520
Stopping at the stop signs?

67
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.680
Sorry about that? Is this your vehicle? Whose vehicle is it? Yeah?

68
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.919
I just saw rental. It's a rental. Okay, do you

69
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.879
have any registration with it? Do you know if they

70
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:27.120
can put in the glovebox? You need check? How long

71
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.480
you rented it for? Just for a couple of days?

72
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:31.519
What are you visiting?

73
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:34.079
Yeah, I'm on tour.

74
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.319
What are you doing? I'm on a world tour? What

75
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:41.319
a world tour doing?

76
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:41.399
What?

77
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.399
Oh? Hard to explain?

78
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:57.079
M h a world tour. I'm justin to Blake.

79
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.720
What's listening Boston, timber Lake? You are justin Timberluke. Yeah,

80
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.160
you have a license with me? Well boom, now, y'all

81
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.120
I don't care who you are. That is hilarious. The

82
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.000
dude is like, give me your license after he says

83
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.920
he's justin Timberlake. Ohd justin didn't realize this dude was

84
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.079
a Backstreet Boys fan. I guess kJ the rivalry is real, right,

85
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.759
So the singer at times jokes with officers a video

86
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.480
goes on, Yo, you guys are wild, he says in

87
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.639
one exchange each change, and then later he's at the

88
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.319
police station during booking, and he kind of goes back

89
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.600
and forth between pissed off and apologizing. So Timberlake fought

90
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.000
very hard to keep this footage private. In March of

91
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.240
twenty twenty six, he filed a lawsuit against the village

92
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.879
of sack Arbor. How's that I get a dui and

93
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.319
I'm gonna file a last suit against you for showing it.

94
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.720
He argued the video captured him in an acutely vulnerable

95
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.920
state and would cause severe and irreputable harm to his reputation.

96
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:00.360
Well you should have thought of that, for you go

97
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:01.120
the wheel.

98
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.800
Everybody's reputation right right.

99
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.839
His legal team did reach a settlement with authorities that

100
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.279
allowed a redacted version of the video to be released.

101
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.959
I'd love to see the whole version, the parts he

102
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.839
didn't want in there. The case was resolved months earlier.

103
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.399
In September of twenty twenty four, Timberlake pleaded guilty to

104
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.439
the lesser charge of driving while impaired, and as part

105
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.000
of the deal, he had to pay five hundred dollars

106
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.360
plus a fine surcharge. He completed twenty five hours of

107
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.360
community service, and he had his New York driver's license

108
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:37.720
suspended for ninety days. The original DWI charge was dropped. Now.

109
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.240
Source close to the singer told People magazine that Timberlake

110
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.160
vied the footage as the quote best alternative and hope

111
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.399
it would finally close the chapter on the incident so

112
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:49.360
he can move forward.

113
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.480
Yeah. Look, you're no different than anybody else. You're a

114
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.279
human being, you're famous, and you're rich. This did nothing,

115
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.680
but this was a blip on his radar. It didn't

116
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.240
make him go broke, and you know, he just moves

117
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.079
on with his life. If you or I get put

118
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.720
in this position, we are going to be financially hit.

119
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:07.560
You know what I'm saying.

120
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.399
It's going to cost a lot of money for us

121
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.160
as a So I guess I'm just kind of disappointed

122
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.040
because I did watch the video and it's like, dude.

123
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.759
You're drunk. You know you're drunk. I know you're drunk,

124
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:18.800
and so you.

125
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:24.120
Wouldn't tell him I'm Kelly Jennings from Unspeakable. No.

126
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.120
No, I would say, oh my god, I saw you

127
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.720
in concert when I was seventeen and you put your

128
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:33.360
hand up to the glass on your tour bus and

129
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.519
oh shit. No, I'd be like, oh God, now everyone's

130
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.680
going to know I'm I'm I'm a party girl.

131
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.759
Yeah, you know what I'm saying. I mean, just come on, dude,

132
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:42.759
own up to it. I screwed up. Make a public

133
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.720
service announcement of guys. It's this easy. You know, you

134
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.560
make people make mistakes. I was wrong. Don't do like me,

135
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:49.319
do better?

136
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.639
And you know you could turn this into a learning

137
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:53.839
lesson instead of a lawsuit.

138
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.399
I agree. And I mean, you know, Martini se at

139
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.639
you hard man, and you may just to have one

140
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:01.079
more team.

141
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:02.600
His eyes are rid of.

142
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:06.399
You know, unless he maybe he smokes on I don't know,

143
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:10.720
but I'm guessing I don't know that allegedly for entertainment

144
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.959
purposes only, but I know this, You know we I

145
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.600
have a close friend whose daughter was killed by a

146
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.759
drunk driver years back, and so it's not something that

147
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:23.000
should be taken lightly. You should be held accountable because

148
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.600
just because nothing happened doesn't mean it couldn't have.

149
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:27.319
What's that? I agree?

150
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:29.560
All right, let's go to Arkansas.

151
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.639
The Dugger family, once famous for the TLC reality series

152
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.000
Nineteen Kids in Counting, is facing new criminal charges after

153
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.679
two members of the family were arrested this week in

154
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:44.799
connection with alleged child sexual abuse and endangerment. Joseph Garrett Dugger,

155
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.879
thirty one, was arrested Wednesday by the I think this

156
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:48.679
is Taunted Town.

157
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:49.720
Have you ever heard of that before?

158
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.440
Tonted Town Police Department on a warrant from Florida authorities.

159
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.120
He faces felony charges of loot and lascivious behavior involving

160
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.200
unlawful sexual activity with a minor under twelve years old.

161
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.840
According to the Bay County Sheriff's Office. The allegations involve

162
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.840
a now fourteen year old girl who says Dugger molested

163
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.720
her in twenty twenty when she was nine years old

164
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.200
during a family vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida. The

165
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:18.279
victim reported that Dougger asked her to sit on his

166
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.399
lap and then on a couch. He put both of

167
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.879
them underneath a blanket, where he allegedly manipulated her underwear

168
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.279
and touched her genitals while rubbing her thighs.

169
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.559
Dougger waived extradition Friday.

170
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.000
And remains held without bond in the Washington County Detention

171
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.399
Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas, pending transfer to Florida.

172
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.200
Bay County. Authorities have thirty days to retrieve him.

173
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:42.679
Just days later, on Friday, the police department arrested Douggler's wife,

174
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:46.320
Kendra Duggar, twenty seven years old. Both Kendra and Joseph

175
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.480
now face identical misdemeanor charges in Arkansas, four counts each

176
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.519
of endangering the welfare of a minor second degree and

177
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:57.200
false imprisonment second degree. Kendra was booked around four fifty

178
00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.720
six pm local time and released roughly an hour later

179
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.840
after posting a oney four hundred and seventy dollars mont.

180
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.600
The couple, who married in twenty seventeen and share four

181
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.639
young children, has not issued a public statement. Police have

182
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:12.519
released limited details on the Arkansas charges, which appear connected

183
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:16.000
to the same investigation. This marks the second Dougger son

184
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:21.639
to face serious related child related criminal allegations. Joseph's older brother,

185
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.240
Josh Dougger, is serving a one hundred and fifty one

186
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.159
month federal prison sentence. After his twenty twenty two conviction

187
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.879
on charges of receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material.

188
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.120
The family spent off series Counting On was canceled. Following

189
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.840
those revelations and earlier twenty fifteen reports that Josh had

190
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.320
molested several of his younger sisters when he was a teenager.

191
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.639
Family reactions have been swift. Sister Jill Duggar Dillard said

192
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.840
that she is heartbroken and stands with the victims, emphasizing

193
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:53.039
that no one is above the law. Cousin Amy doug

194
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.320
Or King told Entertainment Tonight she is sickened but not surprised,

195
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.600
blaming what she calls a toxic family cycle through his

196
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.679
at Turner. Incarcerated brother Josh Dugger said the allegations against

197
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.840
Jeff against Joseph deeply saddened him, and that he understands

198
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:12.039
the painful reality of how false accusations can destroy a life.

199
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:15.799
Puke, Like, give me a break on that one, dude, anyway. Sorry.

200
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.440
The arrests have renewed scrutiny of the conservative Christian family,

201
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.919
who built a public brand around large family values and faith. Jim,

202
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.600
Bob and Michelle Dugger have not commented publicly. On the

203
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:31.879
latest developments, and the investigations remain active in both Arkansas and.

204
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:38.120
Florida, And obviously, if those allegations are true, that's disgusting

205
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:42.159
and terrible. I am not I was familiar with the show,

206
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:45.320
but I've never actually watched it. Is that something you

207
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.720
would have suspected out of those two? I mean, I

208
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.120
know you've watched it severally.

209
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.240
Yeah, I mean at the time, no, like back in

210
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:53.519
the you know, back in the gap when it was

211
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.000
big watching it they were teenagers, you know, you wouldn't.

212
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:56.200
Think, oh, they were that.

213
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.080
Yeah, I mean they were I mean older teenagers, but

214
00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.639
you kind of watched them grow up, I guess.

215
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:00.000
Yeah.

216
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:05.120
But this is the deal, okay, the strong faith values

217
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.159
and all this kind of stuff. They put a very

218
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.600
very very large emphasis on sexual purity. It's like a

219
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.559
big deal, you know, like at the forefront of everything

220
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.799
that they do. Like whenever they start courting, they don't

221
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.440
call it dating. When they start courting, a younger sibling

222
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.279
has to go on the date with the older sibling

223
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.840
so as to make sure nothing happened, you know what

224
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.159
I'm saying, Like, you're not going to do anything with

225
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.600
your sibling there, and it seems to me that when

226
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:32.559
you are that caught up in sexual purity, which I'm

227
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:34.720
not saying is a bad thing, like sexual purity, but

228
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:40.159
and you're really really heavy on how young girls are

229
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:44.320
pure and untouched and all of that. It almost got

230
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.360
to the point that it was like a lot to

231
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.480
focus on that. I'm not saying it's not important, but

232
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.080
for that to be like Central TV that we're talking.

233
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:53.600
About the whole time.

234
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.320
So I'm wondering if they are, like Jill said, the

235
00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.559
daughter that was molested by the older brother that he

236
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:03.919
is serving time. I'm wondering if it's almost cultivating that

237
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:05.320
environment of.

238
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:08.120
I don't know what.

239
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.279
I don't want to say curiosity because that sounds gross

240
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:11.879
to me, but you know what I'm trying to say,

241
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.320
like you're cultivating something like when you're when you tell

242
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.240
a kid growing up, don't do drugs, don't do drugs,

243
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:18.799
don't drug, don't drink, don't drink, don't drink.

244
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.159
What a kids want to do? Drink, drink, do drugs?

245
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:23.960
Try it out? Why not? Why would you tell me no,

246
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:25.720
Let me live my life, blah blah blah. And I'm

247
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:26.399
not saying.

248
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.960
Sexual abuse equates and in no way am I saying that,

249
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.720
But the point being that when they are so heavy

250
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:36.120
on purity and how young girls have never been touched

251
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.120
and you know, all this kind of stuff.

252
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.360
I don't know, if you have a it's like they're

253
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:44.840
cultivating this weird sexual predisposition to this.

254
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:46.440
I don't know, what are chances of two of your

255
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.960
kids getting arrested for the same thing.

256
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:52.840
Yeah, yeah, so they weren't married, they were guzzed.

257
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.000
Know these two are married married, Yeah, And I think

258
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.399
probably I don't know this. This is an assumption just

259
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:02.440
us discussing it, but I'm assuming she in some way.

260
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:07.200
When it says the kidnapping charge there, I'm wondering if

261
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.559
there's got to be something at some point. It's a misdemeanor,

262
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:11.759
it's not a felony. So it sounds to me like

263
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:15.200
they had custody of this child maybe that was abused,

264
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:19.159
and did not let her like leave the room maybe

265
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:20.759
or something for that period.

266
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:21.799
I don't know. I don't know.

267
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:26.519
It's a rough one without any foundational documents, but either way,

268
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.360
they keep doing this crap of stand by your man,

269
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.759
and you know, like the one that's Josh Douger that's

270
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.759
in prison has been there, his wife is still visiting him,

271
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:41.879
is still and that evidence is ironclad. They pulled if

272
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:45.279
you don't know they they pulled hard drives from his

273
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.440
work computer at the I believe it was a car

274
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.320
dealership that his dad owned or something like that. I

275
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.000
mean they pulled the documents off of there. It's when

276
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.279
he says he's falsely accused.

277
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.200
You make me want to vomit. No, you weren't.

278
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.279
Sorry, There you have it. Let's go to Columbus, Nebraska,

279
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.480
and I'm gonna tell you about a twenty six year

280
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.879
old Nebraska man who has pleaded guilty to second degree

281
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:11.559
murder after luring his stepfather to a Walmart parking lot

282
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.559
by pretending he needed help finding a vehicle part and

283
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.600
then fatally shooting him at close range with bullets to

284
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:23.600
the chest and head. Manuel Cabrera entered the guilty plea

285
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.440
this month. This was in Platte County District Court. He's

286
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:31.200
convicted or he pleaded guilty, so I guess yeah. He's

287
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.399
convicted of killing a forty two year old man by

288
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.080
the name of David Hernandez. According to court records and

289
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:42.399
police messa, Cabrera asked his stepfather to accompany him to

290
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:46.480
the Walmart supercenter. He claimed he needed assistance locating an

291
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.879
auto part. After the two men parked, Cabrera pulled out

292
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:53.240
a nine millimeter Smith and Wesson handgun, which he had

293
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.480
legally purchased just a couple of weeks earlier, and shot

294
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.320
Hernandez once in the chest and once in the head.

295
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.600
Columbus police responded to the scene around six twenty pm

296
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.720
after reports of a shooting. Officers found Hernandez lying on

297
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.240
the ground suffering from a gunshot wound. They rendered aid

298
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.799
until medics arrived and transported him to a local hospital,

299
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:19.559
where he was pronounced dead. Cabrera turned himself into authorities

300
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.159
shortly after that shooting and confessed he told investigators he

301
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.679
knew he would be arrested. Police recovered the handgun from

302
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.240
the glove compartment of this vehicle, and an affidavit revealed

303
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.799
that Cabrera had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but was not

304
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.679
taking medication or receiving treatment at the time. He admitted

305
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:42.759
to having homicidal ideal idea idiations yeah so that three

306
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.200
times fast for a year or two, and said he

307
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.759
decided in the days leading up to the crime he

308
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:50.960
would kill a stepfather. He was initially charged with first

309
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:53.879
degree murder in use of a firearm to commit a felony,

310
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:57.480
and he didn't say much at the earlier arraignment, leading

311
00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.720
the court to enter a not guilty plea on his

312
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.200
back half. Now, as part of the plea deal, the

313
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.200
chargers were reduced and he pleaded guilty his second degree

314
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:10.039
murder and the weapons charge. The captain at the time,

315
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:14.920
Doug Mulitski, said, upon arrival, officers located a male victim

316
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.359
lying on the ground with a gunshot wanting to the chest.

317
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.920
They immediately rendered aid until the fire department medics arrived

318
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:25.680
on scene and Cabrera is scheduled to be sentenced in April.

319
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:31.119
But tragic story and shocking that this man's father in

320
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:35.440
law shows up to help him. Stepdad, right, No, I

321
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.279
thought it was his father in law, was it not.

322
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:39.880
I don't know. We can just go with I thought

323
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:41.200
they said it was his stepdad.

324
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:48.200
Okay, stepfather is correct? Actually either way. I mean, you know,

325
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:50.680
he calls this guy to go help him out, and

326
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:53.960
he shows up and he shoots and kills him, and

327
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:58.319
there's no real mention of a motive. Yeah, for that,

328
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:00.880
I don't know, if they had an earlier agreement or what.

329
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.839
You know, I wouldn't doubt it if they didn't, because

330
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:09.279
schizophrenia is a very scary thing to manage, especially when

331
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:10.839
someone is not on their medication.

332
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:13.480
And I feel for that step father.

333
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:16.200
You know, he shows up to go help and he

334
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:19.279
there's no way he didn't know of the mental issues

335
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.240
that are going on with this guy. And you know,

336
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.960
schizophrenics will hear voices that are telling them to do things.

337
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.119
That's probably where the homicidal ideation was coming in. And

338
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.039
it's it's certainly a mitigating factor. It doesn't make it

339
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:36.519
any less excusable. You know, we don't murder, but these

340
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:38.640
cases right here are the really really tough ones because

341
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.119
obviously there's a mom there who's lost her husband and

342
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:42.640
now her.

343
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.559
Son, right And I know that anytime you quit taking

344
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:51.720
any sort of medicine, especially one that affects your mind,

345
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:52.720
that's a problem.

346
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.559
Yeah, And it's actually also very common that people who

347
00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.279
are affected at this level of mental illness. And I'm

348
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:01.400
no medical will expert, and I'm not claiming to be,

349
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:03.960
but it is more common that when there's things like

350
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.200
schizophrenia and stuff, that they will start taking the medication,

351
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.680
they'll start feeling better, It'll quiet them down, and for

352
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:12.759
some reason in their mind they go, oh, I'm better,

353
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:14.720
I don't need to take the medicine anymore.

354
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.960
And then they'll stop taking it.

355
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:18.680
That's very common, and they'll quit it cold turkey rather

356
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.079
than yea themselves off. I mean, any sort of anti depresson.

357
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.240
I know, you have to wean yourself off very slowly

358
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:26.079
or you'll go.

359
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:28.200
Great, yeah, you're and your neurotransmitters are going to go

360
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:32.039
wild in your brain. So I just I don't want

361
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.000
I'm not I'm not trying to say I have a

362
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:35.559
heart for the guy that shot in, but I do

363
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.039
have a heart for the fact that you're you're crazy.

364
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.640
I mean, you've got a lot going on there and

365
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:44.720
there's problems, but I really wish mental health was better

366
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:46.759
cared for in this situation.

367
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:47.920
I really do.

368
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:52.160
All right, let's go to New Orleans and a federal

369
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.920
jury on Friday convicted two well known local personal injury

370
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:58.960
attorneys and their law firms and what prosecutors describe as

371
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.880
a brazen, years long scheme to stage car crashes into

372
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.920
tractor trailers, fabricate injury claims, and defraud insurance companies out

373
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.799
of millions of dollars. Vanessa Mada forty four, a former

374
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:17.000
Hollywood stunt woman who founded Model Law Firm, and Jason Giles,

375
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:20.240
forty seven, a partner at the King Firm, were found

376
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:23.160
guilty on all counts after a nearly three week trial

377
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:25.920
in the US District Court. The jury deliberated for more

378
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:29.599
than five hours before returning the verdicts. Mada and Giles

379
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.960
were convicted of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud,

380
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.359
multiple counts of mail fraud, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering.

381
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.599
Mada faced additional counts of witness tampering. Their respective law firms,

382
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.079
Model Law and the King Firm, were also convicted on

383
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:50.799
related organizational charges. A third defendant, I think this is dominique,

384
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:54.279
but it's spelled very different. But Dominaike, I don't know

385
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:57.319
how you would say that. Stalbert was convicted of making

386
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.519
false statements but acquitted on the conspiracy count. In a

387
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.079
dramatic courtroom scene followed by the verdict, Chief US District

388
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.759
Judge Wendy Vider ordered both attorneys taken into immediate federal

389
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.960
custody pending sentencing, citing concerns over witness tampering. Mauda reportedly

390
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:16.720
sobbed and vomited at the defense table while her mother fainted.

391
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:21.960
Giles was also remanded to custody. Sentencing is scheduled for July.

392
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.359
Prosecutor said the scheme, which began as early as twenty

393
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:28.400
eleven and continued through at least twenty twenty four, involved

394
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:31.640
what they called quote unquote slammers, recruiters paid by the

395
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:35.559
attorneys and their associates who packed cars with passengers and

396
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:39.599
deliberately crashed them into eighteen wheelers, especially those with high

397
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:43.759
insurance limits. The quote unquote victims were then funneled to Mada,

398
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:46.920
Giles and the other attorneys to file inflated personal injury

399
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:52.079
lawsuits and demand settlements once cooperating former attorney or excuse me.

400
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:55.440
One cooperating former attorney Danny Keating, pleaded guilty earlier and

401
00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:00.160
testified that he alone handled seventy seven fraudulent cases and

402
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:04.480
collected more than one million dollars in fees. Federal investigators

403
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.240
dubbed the probe operation sideswipe. This was not just a

404
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:11.720
few bad accidents. It was a manufactured lawsuit factory that

405
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:16.400
put truck drivers their companies and ultimately everyday policyholders at risk,

406
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:20.240
a prosecutor told the jury during closing arguments. Defense attorneys

407
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.359
maintained their clients were unaware of any staging and argued

408
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.279
the government overreached. The convictions mark one of the largest

409
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:31.200
insurance fraud takedowns in recent Louisiana history. More than sixty

410
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:34.519
people have already pleaded guilty in the case. Several other

411
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.359
personal injury cases tied to the scheme remained pending in

412
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.799
civil court, according to records. Both Mada and Giles face

413
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.559
potential decades in federal prison. Legal ethics experts say the

414
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:49.039
convictions will almost certainly result in their permanent disbarment. US

415
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:52.319
Attorney's Office spokesperson Aaron Lowry said in a statement, this

416
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:55.440
verdict sends a clear message that no one, not even

417
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:58.319
licensed attorneys, are above the law when they turned the

418
00:22:58.400 --> 00:22:59.720
justice system into.

419
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:01.480
A get rich quick scam.

420
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:06.759
Attorneys from Ada and Giles indicated they plan to appeal pretty.

421
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:10.200
Wild story and look, man, you are taking one hell

422
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:14.119
of a risk if you're gonna partake in this fraud scheme.

423
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:17.000
When you pack your car down full of I guess

424
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.839
items so that when an eighteen willer slams into you,

425
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:20.880
it doesn't kill you.

426
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:24.319
Well, I think they packed them full of people so

427
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:26.359
that they would get multiple.

428
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:31.039
Claims even wilder. Yeah, I mean, I will worry about

429
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:35.119
like getting hurt. If people wonder why insurance rates are

430
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:38.000
so high in the state of Louisiana, that's a good example. Man.

431
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.079
Those people are about as bad as it gets. To me.

432
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:48.720
Yeah, this is sleezy, sleazy attorney behavior. And I would

433
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:51.880
bet I'd be willing to bet that the client tell

434
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.720
that they recruited to do this were probably more on

435
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.599
the impoverished side and more willing to risk more if

436
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:02.079
they were told, hey, you're gonna get you know, two

437
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:05.160
hundred thousand dollars if you'll do this well. And to me,

438
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:10.519
that's even worse because now that's predatory. If that's the case,

439
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:12.960
which I'm not saying a one hundred percent is, I'm speculating,

440
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:14.359
but I would I.

441
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:15.640
Would bet I'm right on that one.

442
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:20.000
And now your predatory behavior is affecting also all of

443
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:22.599
the people uninvolved in this, that this could have caused

444
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:25.920
a flipover wreck, This could have cost the lives, Yeah

445
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:26.359
of people.

446
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:28.559
Could somebody could have ran into someone else.

447
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.079
Yeah, a motorcycle going by, has no clue that there's

448
00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:33.079
about to be a you know, a break check or whatever.

449
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:35.839
So they should go to prison and you should throw

450
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:36.759
up because it's gross.

451
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.599
It's sick what you did.

452
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.319
One hundred percent. Let's go to Louisville, Kentucky and a

453
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:47.039
sixty eight year old woman, y'all, and keep mindful of

454
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:50.799
that age. Sixty eight years old. She's facing an eviction

455
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:56.200
right well, she's accused of deliberately setting her apartment complex

456
00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:59.200
on fire in the middle of the night and then

457
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:03.039
telling what and police she was going to kill everybody

458
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.759
in the building. That According to authorities, Elizabeth Radmacher was

459
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:12.759
arrested following an early morning blaze at the Stonewater Apartments

460
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:18.319
in East Louisville, Kentucky. According to the police and Orson investigators,

461
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.759
Rodmcker intentionally set that fire in her bedroom. This was

462
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:25.920
around three o'clock in the morning. What sixty eight year

463
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:27.559
old is awake at three o'clock in the.

464
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:29.880
Morning, the ones that are going to burn down?

465
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.839
Yeah, she then left the innit without warning any of

466
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:36.200
her neighbors and that you know, we kind of laughed

467
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.640
at first, but that's no laughing matter, obviously, The blaze

468
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:42.839
caused an estimated one hundred thousand dollars in damage. It,

469
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:46.599
of course displaced several residents in the building, sent one

470
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:51.799
person to the hospital for evaluations, and impressively enough, the

471
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.839
fire crew actually contained that fire in less than twenty minutes.

472
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:55.279
Excellent.

473
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:59.720
Now, while standing outside watching the flames, multiple witnesses and

474
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:04.839
we're spinning, officers reported hearing Rob Mocker repeatedly say quote,

475
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.640
I'm going to kill everybody. She later claimed someone else

476
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:11.880
had forced her to start that fire, but she didn't

477
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:16.079
say who that was her other personality. I guess Rob

478
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:18.920
Mocker was in the process of being evicted at the time,

479
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:23.119
and the three counts of first degree endangerment stemmed from

480
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.480
the danger pose to a family of three, including a child,

481
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.000
living directly above her units, so this could have turned

482
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:35.200
out really bad. One neighbor sprang into action started knocking

483
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:39.039
on doors to alert residents. When they interviewed him, he said,

484
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:41.240
I knock at the doors and told everyone to get

485
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.319
out because a fire is coming. Another neighbor expressed relief

486
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:47.440
that no one was killed, saying he had a kid

487
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:50.799
up there, so he could have been badly burned or killed.

488
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:54.200
Rob Mocker faces charges of first degree or some first

489
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:58.119
degree criminal mischief and three counts of endangerment. She was

490
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:02.519
arraigned earlier this week, pleaded not guilty and remains in

491
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:06.680
the Louisville Metro Corrections on a fifty thousand dollars bond.

492
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:08.400
So sixty eight years old.

493
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:12.079
Let's talk about this too, fire because no one was hurt.

494
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:14.920
It's probably you know, people are like, oh good, nobody

495
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:16.720
was hurting you kind of move on. But let's talk guys,

496
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:19.240
because it's three o'clock in the morning, which is going

497
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:22.519
to pose to me an added risk because everyone's asleep,

498
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.559
and so most people don't die by flame. They die

499
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:28.079
by smoke inhalation, and they don't wait, you know that

500
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:31.759
maybe they don't wake up or whatever. But also a fire,

501
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:34.799
if you don't know this, a small fire, any fire

502
00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:40.359
doubles in size every sixty seconds, so on average, So I.

503
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:43.519
Did not know that. Yeah, so interesting fact.

504
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:47.920
Fun fact here from a dispatch instructor. So the fact

505
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:51.599
they contained it in twenty minutes is great. But every

506
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:55.359
minute a fire is going up and getting bigger. So

507
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:59.279
I think everybody's very lucky here, and this could have

508
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:02.960
gone so bad so quick, especially too when fire weakened structure.

509
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:05.640
It can you know, the floor could have fell out

510
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:08.759
between the poor kids sleeping above her. You know, roofs

511
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:12.160
can collapse, things of that nature. So thank God for

512
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:14.960
these neighbors. That's hero. That's everyday hero stuff right there,

513
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.000
when you're knocking on doors and warning your neighbors.

514
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:17.759
That's good stuff.

515
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:18.400
Yeah.

516
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.319
Cool. I wonder if that neighbor's name was State Farm,

517
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:25.799
because like a good neighbor, State Farm was there that

518
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:27.440
was not an endorsed.

519
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:30.119
Whatever.

520
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:32.519
We can be cheesy, All right, let's go to Houston,

521
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.319
and this was obviously a huge story and it's unfortunately

522
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.920
come to a strange closing here, but Clyde Edwin Hedrick,

523
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:43.759
the man long regarded as the prime suspect and the

524
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:48.720
chilling Texas Killing Fields murders that haunted Southeast Texas for decades,

525
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:52.440
has died at age seventy two. Hendrick passed away around

526
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.440
two pm on Saturday, March twenty first, twenty six at

527
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.519
a Houston hospital after being admitted the previous week. This

528
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:01.279
is according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. He

529
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:04.200
died whilst living in a parole halfway house under the

530
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:10.079
state's strictest super intensive supervision program, which included GPS monitoring.

531
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:13.079
For more than forty years. Hedrick has been a central

532
00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:16.039
figure in the investigation into the murders of at least

533
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:18.640
four women whose bodies were dumped in a remote marshy

534
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.279
field off Calder Road in League City, and this is

535
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:24.799
between Houston and Galveston. The victims included twenty five year

536
00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:28.880
old Bartender heid Five last seen October nineteen eighty three,

537
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:31.880
sixteen year old Laura Miller, which was she was last

538
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:36.640
seen September nineteen eighty four, Audrey Lee Cook, approximately thirty

539
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:41.160
years old, and Donna Prudom, approximately thirty four years old.

540
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:43.880
Their remains were discovered between nineteen eighty four and nineteen

541
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:47.839
ninety one, some identified only decades later in twenty nineteen,

542
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.200
turning the area into the grimly named Texas Killing Fields now.

543
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:55.240
Hedrick was never criminally charged in those four killings and

544
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:58.920
repeatedly maintained his innocence, including in a twenty twenty four

545
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:04.400
on camera interview. However, he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter

546
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:06.839
in the nineteen eighty four death of twenty nine year

547
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:10.759
old Ellen Beeson, whose body was found nearby under garbage

548
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:13.880
with a fractured skull. He served eight years of a

549
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:16.640
twenty year sentence before his release on parole in twenty

550
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:19.839
twenty one. Laura Miller's father. His name is Tim Miller,

551
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:22.720
and he is the founder of the volunteer search and

552
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:26.839
recovery group Texas Equisearch, and he spent more than four

553
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:29.880
decades seeking justice for his daughter and the other victims.

554
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:32.799
He did win a twenty four million dollar wrongful death

555
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:37.200
civil judgments judgment against Hedrick in twenty twenty two, after

556
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.119
this suspect failed to appear in court. Miller has long

557
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:43.720
believed Hedrick was responsible. I hope the case continues to

558
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:46.720
move forward, Miller said after learning of Hedrick's death. Even

559
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:49.039
with his death, I hope authorities can still prove what

560
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.400
I believe that Clyde was responsible, from my daughter and

561
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:55.400
the deaths of other girls. A lot of information about

562
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:58.599
the case is yet to come out. It's inexcusable that

563
00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:01.440
it went on for this long. Long. Witnesses had placed

564
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:04.519
Heddrick near several victims, including accounts of him speaking with

565
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:08.279
Laura Miller and giving her rides on his motorcycle, visiting

566
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:12.599
hide Heidi Fi's apartment, and being seen with prudom. Retired

567
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:16.400
FBI agent Richard Renaisson, who worked the cases, said investigators

568
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:19.839
could never fully rule Hedrick out despite eliminating other leads.

569
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.279
We had a whiteboard with all of these names on it.

570
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.319
Slowly they were crossed off, but we could never rule

571
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:29.359
out Clyde. Hitchcock Police detective Corey Williams visited Hendrick in

572
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:32.279
the hospital the day before his death. He was too

573
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:36.359
ill to speak, and Hedrick indicated nonverbally that he was

574
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:42.200
not involved. Williams confirmed the investigation remains active. Retired Galveston

575
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:45.960
County Sheriff's Lieutenant Tommy Hansen expressed mixed views, saying that

576
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:49.000
he had doubts about Heddrick's involvement in every case, but

577
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.880
saw him as potentially linked to several. Hendrick's death closes

578
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:55.480
one chapter in one of the Texas's most infamous coal

579
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:59.720
case Sagas, which gained renewed attention nationally through the twenty

580
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:04.319
twenty to Netflix documentary crime series Crime Scene. The Texas

581
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.920
Killing Fields, but authorities emphasize the murders of Miller five

582
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.680
Cook and Prude them along with dozens of other unsolved

583
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:14.319
killings along the I forty five corridor remain open. The

584
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.359
search for answers and accountability continues for the families who

585
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:20.559
have waited more than four decades and no cause of

586
00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:22.119
death has been released.

587
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:27.240
Yeah, and if you haven't seen that Netflix documentary, while

588
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:32.240
it's really good, really well put together, and you hate

589
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:35.640
to see something like this happen because it closes a

590
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:39.559
chapter on a prime suspect in the case, I don't

591
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:41.880
you know if you had anything to do with any

592
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:44.839
of that. Obviously I don't shed a tear for his death,

593
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:47.960
but I shed a tier for the fact that these

594
00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:51.880
families it, you know, it eliminates any sort of justice

595
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.920
being gained by this guy's arrest for those murders. I

596
00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:59.920
tend to agree with the quote that you said in

597
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:02.960
I don't know that he had something to do with

598
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:06.359
all of them, but there were several of them that

599
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:08.960
he was linked to. And this is you know, getting

600
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:10.799
into that would take the whole rest of the show.

601
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:12.480
So I'm not going to do that. But go check

602
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:15.160
out the documentary and you'll see what I mean. There's

603
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:18.599
a lot of questions surrounding him personally.

604
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:21.759
Now, we don't like to assign homework at the show, Okay,

605
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:23.279
we don't like to assign homework. It's not what we

606
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:24.440
want to do, but we are going to go ahead

607
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:26.640
and assign that to you. Get on your Netflix and

608
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:30.759
go watch it. And you know, I don't believe in coincidences.

609
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:35.000
They happen, but I don't believe in them as much

610
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:36.680
as this guy seems to be.

611
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.880
Involved and be around and giving rides.

612
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:44.559
I mean, and then he's guilty of cracking the skull

613
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:48.000
of a girl who's found, you know, thrown away under

614
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:53.240
some trash. You know that doesn't happen in most people's lifetimes.

615
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:55.640
And then you are consistently in the lives of other

616
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:58.960
girls that go missing and are murdered. Yeah, I don't know, guys,

617
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:04.279
but again that's circumstantial, circumstantial, but you know circumstantial cases

618
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:06.079
of convicted people.

619
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:09.320
Many times or you know, hundreds of thousands of times

620
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:09.880
over the year.

621
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:13.599
