Crime Wire Weekly 7/24/26 | Nolan Wells Autopsy Results, Ex-Wife’s Perfect Scam, Inmates & Broomsticks

This week on the show, the Nolan Wells case takes another dark turn as private autopsy results are released and raise even more questions. A man is sexually assaulted by two inmates inside East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. We take a quick detour for some completely unrelated Florida chaos involving risqué license plates that are turning heads across the state. A New Jersey doctor who’s been on the run for 20 years is finally captured… on a sailboat.A New York K-9 dies after being left in a hot vehicle.
Six cruise passengers get arrested mid-vacation for outstanding warrants. Then it’s time for Lustful Lawbreakers when a simple foot massage request goes sideways, and Foolish Felons when a woman stabs her friend in an Uber… over a beer. We close the main show with True Crime Time Machine: the murder of Michael Jordan’s father, plus an update on the Florida man who got sentenced alongside his vacuum cleaner. 
Then In Overtime:
We discuss Eagles star Saquan Barkley’s home is invaded. A Memphis mother is charged after shooting a man she found under her daughter’s bed. A Key Largo man hides a kidnapped girl in his dryer. And a hard lesson on why you should never hire your ex.

Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, welcome back to Crime Wire Weekly. A little

look at the topics we're going to be covering for today.

We have got a jam packed show. We're going to

start off in Mississippi and we're going to talk about

the independent autopsy of Nolan Wells has been released. We're

going to discuss all of that. We're going to talk about, Ah,

I guess you could call it an incident. Kelly Jennings

in the Baton Roach Parish.

Speaker 2: Prison put it lightly.

Speaker 1: Look two inmates and it's it's actually not a funny situation.

Two inmates sexually assaulted another inmate inside the Baton Roach

Parish Prison in a very horrific way. We're going to

talk about that risk a license played is turning heads

in Florida. Great story, really utterly unrelated to crime. Yeah,

but so good. We had to bring it to you. Yeah,

that's cute. That's exactly what we're gonna do. We're gonna

go to New Jersey where America's most wanted has captured

another criminal, someone on the top of that list after

twenty years. We'll tell you that story. That's a good one.

New York. We're gonna go there and we're going to

talk about a canine who died after being left in

a hot vehicle. Second week in a row, we've covered it.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say it. It's not a repeat,

it's actually another that's right.

Speaker 1: In the case, that's right, and with it being the

dead heat of summer, even in New York, it's it's

like a heat wave going on right now. Obviously, something

you got to watch for is your pets and canines

in this situation. We're gonna go to the cruise I

guess off the coast of the United States to talk

about six cruise passengers who were arrest it recently.

Speaker 2: And it's not for what you think. It's not for

like unruliness.

Speaker 1: That's right. We're going to have another episode of Foolish Felons,

another episode of Lustful Lawbreakers, another episode of the True

Crime time Machine, and we even have an update on

the Florida Man and the vacuum cleaner situation.

Speaker 2: Kelly, you remember this one.

Speaker 1: So we have to cover this update. Uh, and then

we'll go into overtime. So let's get into it. I'm

Jim Chapman.

Speaker 2: And I am Kelly Jennings.

Speaker 1: All right, Kelly, I was trying to think of some

nonchalant things to discuss before we got into the topics.

Speaker 2: We're well, we're supposed to be in the middle of

a hurricane that's hitting right now, but it's sunny. It's

sunny and breezy.

Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nothing going on down here. And that was

like a you know for us that are used to this,

and that was like it was nothing right, you know,

a little storm. You know, it's even see.

Speaker 2: That interesting too. And I don't mean to just do

small talk, but I just it really is interesting whenever

they start putting the hurricanes up because we've lived you know,

I've lived here in my whole life, so of you,

and so a hurricane doesn't really mean much. We just

have to figure out what do we need to pick

up and what do we need to tie down the trampoline.

Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of yeah, that's that's the typical.

Of course, you get like the hurricane idea that came

through here, through every tree in Livingston Parish.

Speaker 2: But then you get an unnamed storm that drowns us

let's go to.

Speaker 1: It, and uh, we're gonna talk about this Nolan Wells

case that's making all the news. An Independent autopsy of

eighteen year old Nolan Wells was released this past Wednesday,

and it found both the cause and manner of death

to be undetermined. Although the autopsy could not rule out

the possibility of non accidental factors contributing to the cause

of his death, nor could it rule out accidental factor

rather intentional factors, so the finding so it's basically undetermined.

The findings were announced by civil rights attorney Ben Krum

during a news conference at the NAACP's national convention. Forensic

pathologist doctor Robert Mitchell Junior was the one who conducted

that examination. He detailed multiple limitations that could have prevented

a more definitive conclusion. And now Wells, as you know,

college football player from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, right there on

the Gulf coast. He was with mostly a group of

mostly white friends. And that's important that adjective right there.

His body was discovered by the water near the shoreline

on July sixth. Local officials initially reported no immediate signs

of how play, which means they looked at the body

prior to the autopsy, and there was no gash wounds

from a stabbing, shooting, gunshot holes or anything like that,

so they believed that he may have drowned. Though the

official state autopsy results, including toxickalogy results, remain pending now.

Mitchell's July nineteenth report, released publicly Wednesday, netted significant challenge.

They talked about advanced decomposition of the body, which made

it difficult to assess possible bruises or brasions on the skin. So, look,

that's what you're going to have. He was in the

water for two days, saltwater at that you're going to

have decomposition, and that's going to be normal in any

situation like this. Mitchell was also unable to fully examine wells, airways,

and lungs for presence of water, or inspect the contents

of his stomach, and there's a reason for that. Obviously,

he had already had an autopsy done, and so any

water in the lungs at that point is not going

to be in the lungs. And a lot of people

don't realize that when you do these autopsies, these vital organs,

they don't stay in the place, even when they're being

sent to another pologists, they don't stay in the place

they were when when they were initially doing the autopsy,

they actually pull.

Speaker 2: Them all out because they have to disconnect and they

have to take slices, and they you know, if they're

checking for you can't.

Speaker 1: Check it until you remove it.

Speaker 2: Right like a car, you're going to take all the

parts out from under the you know, not all the

parts out someone some guy's going nuts right now, but

you know you're going to have to disassemble some to

be able to get to the root of the problem.

Speaker 1: That's correct, So all of that was expected. Yeah. The

pathologists also documented a twelve by eight inch area of

red discoloration and the soft tissue overlying the one of

his bones in the back of his head. There were

no lacerations of overlying skin and no fractures of underlying skin.

For these reasons, the pathologists cannot rule out if any intervening,

non accidental factors contributed to or cause the death of

Nolan Wells. Mitchell wrote, and you know, just verbalizing it

that way, I had a little bit of a problem

with because that's one way or the other. Yeah, you

can't out, so it's just undetermined. The independent autopsy was

performed at Mississippi State Medical Examiner's office and it was

conducted after the initial examination. And actually it was paid

for by Colin Kaepernick, who is the former NFL quarterback,

through an initiative of funds from independent for independent autopsy.

So that's a good thing that Kaepernick's doing. It's like

a nonprofit that pays for these things. Wells parents, Christine

and Elmore Wansley, have repeatedly called for transparency in a

thorough investigation. They have questioned early suggestions of an accidental drowning,

noting their son was described as an elite athlete and

capable swimmer. Crump has also raised concerns about reported altercations

on the boat that day, the handling of Wells's cell phone,

which which left the island with friends, in the overall

circumstances of how Wells came to be left on the island.

So that's where we're at on that, And I'm let

Kelly say a few things, and then I've got a

few things say. Yeah.

Speaker 2: First of all, Ben Crump gets on my nerves, Okay,

And I'm just gonna say it, because there is a

family grieving right now the loss of their son, no doubt,

no doubt, they love this boy. However, whenever Ben Crump

gets involved, it automatically makes me question his motives because

turning this into a race issue versus a horrific, tragic

loss of life. You know what I'm trying to say,

And let it be what it is for now until

we have definitive evidence. But now he's jumping out here,

and he's alluding to the fact that because his friends

are white, they must have done something nefarious to him.

I want to say, Ben, have you ever been out

on a frickin boat?

Speaker 1: Dude?

Speaker 2: Have you ever partied out on an island or on

a barge? You leave your cell phone in a boat.

It's normal. You leave your things in the boat, you

get out, you party, you drink because you don't want

to lose keys in the water. You don't want to

drop your phone in the water.

Speaker 1: And not only that, usually you don't have reception. Yeah,

out at those islands, and it's not like they got

cell towers right there, and you're with your friends.

Speaker 2: And as people who've lived on the coast, you know

what I'm saying, We've lived down around water our whole lives.

That is not like this aha moment that the that

his phone was on the boat, Like that's just what

I'm common, and especially if I'm drinking, I don't bring

my phone, you know why, because I'm gonna set it

down or I'm gonna drop it in the water. So

I leave my phone on the boat all the time

I leave. Shit, I probably shouldn't leave on the boat,

you know, because I don't want to lose it. Yeah,

So an undetermined autopsy too to come out. And he

even I saw him on yesterday on a on a

news thing. He's got like a billboard, not a billboard,

you know, like a big poster board like, and he's

pointing like he's really dude, I can blow up a

piece of paper too and make it look like it's something.

It's not undetermined, simply means it's not determined. But what

we do know for a fact right now from the

first autopsy, he wasn't he wasn't stabbed. We know that

there's no crack in his skull. We know that there's

no you know what I'm saying, someone who like if

they would have beat him up and broken his nose

or something like that, if these are athletes fistfighting or

something like that, which they're trying to, you know, make

it seem like more likely if you know about water. Also,

this is out on that island where there could be undertow.

Speaker 1: There's a lot of undertow.

Speaker 2: Yes, And so I don't care how elite of an

athlete you are. There are plenty of people that were

elite athletes in this world who have drowned. And so

I'm not saying something didn't happen to this boy, Okay.

I'm not going to stand here and say there's no

way anything is possible, Okay, But to turn around and

attack or to elude that these other kids had something

to do with his death infer whatever word it is,

you know, you are causing problems that can be life

altering for them as well, when right now there is

zero evidence that anything nefarious has taken place. Zero And

I don't think it's fair.

Speaker 1: No, And actually you hit the nail on the head.

These kids are actually getting death threats. They've had to

shut down their social media, they are getting docksed online,

things are showing up at their house. It really is

horrible because there's absolutely no evidence that these kids had

anything to do with this kid. They were all friends.

And I want to get into quickly put together a

little chart of the lies and the truth, And I'm

going to give you a few of these. The lie

Nolan was the only black kid on Horn Island. The truth.

Not only were there hundreds of black kids on Horn

Island that July fourth, Nolan was not even the only

black kid in that friend group.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so friends black.

Speaker 1: Kids in that friend group. So there were thirty kids

on three boats just in their friend group. Now, there

was thousands of people on that island. They weren't out

there just four people. And we're gonna get this kid

out here and kill him. There were thousands of people,

and he was amongst mixed races. Everybody was partying, everybody

was having a good time. Everybody was drinking, doing what

they'd do. And that was a situation. Another lie. Nolan's

friends did not tell anyone he was missing. The truth.

Nolan's friends actually are the ones who reported him missing

to the Coastguard, and are the ones who called Nolan's

mother to inform her. Now, if you had something to

do with this kid's death, are you gonna call the

mother and say, hey, we can't find Nolan. You're not

gonna do that at that age. You're gonna run you're

gonna hide, Oh, we accidentally killed this guy. Whatever. Another lie,

Nolan's friends went into hiding after his disappearance. The truth,

Nolan's friends actually went to Horn Island the next day

to look for Nolan themselves. Another line, Nolan was isolated

during the disappearance with one or two or four white kids.

The truth, Nolan was amongst thirty people in his friend

group on three separate boats, with other black kids amongst

them in that friend group. Also, that thirty person friend

group was amongst three to four thousand people voting on

Horn Island that day. Now, I said it before on

the last episode, I'm going to go ahead and I'm

going to say it again. Racism is almost nonexistent among

football players. If you never played football, you wouldn't understand it.

But take it from me, racism is almost nonexistent amongst

football players. We don't see color, We see people, and

we see teammates. In this case, in my opinion, was

not it is. It's not about race, and the people

that are getting involved at this point are attempting to

divide people, and that is a damn shame considering this

kid seems like a great kid, and really everything needs

to be focused on who he was and not turn

this into a race play thing, because it seems to

me that this was the last kid to be racist

and his friends were the last kids to be racist.

Otherwise they wouldn't be hanging out with each other. They

had been planning this boat trip for months. They wouldn't

have included Nolan if they were racist.

Speaker 2: This is something that bothers me about it. Okay, Nolan,

by every account, was a wonderful person, you know, a

great account, every account, a great a great person. I've

yet to see someone come out and say anything negative

about any of them really, other than what is being

stirred up here. And so what is happening, in my

opinion is we've got these people that are race chasers,

Ben Crump and Al Sharpton and all of these people

are getting involved. And they wouldn't have a word to

say if it would have been all black kids. They

wouldn't have had a word to say if it was

all white kids. But they are jumping on this because

they see it as an opportunity for lawsuits to be

filed and for them to get a cut out of it. Again,

it's just an opinion, but they are diminishing the tragedy

of the loss of him. And I know someone right

now is going, what do you mean they're diminishing. They're

the ones getting it in the news. Yeah, but it's

getting into the news for the wrong reasons. It should

be in the news because we've lost a wonderful soul.

We've lost a kid who had nothing but potential, who

had the world at his fingertips, and his parents will

never get to see him get married and have grandkids.

You know, the loss is great, But to turn this

into black versus white with zero evidence right now, with

zero evidence, it's just making a sham of the true situation.

You don't think the police would have come out by

now and said, uh uh, you know, we were investigating.

They would have said something like we are looking into

some you know, reports of a possible you know, fistfight,

or we are looking into requestioning people, blah blah blah

blah blah. But what it sounds like from everyone that

has has had their input is he was interested in

a girl. There was a girl that was on the

island that he thought was beautiful or whatever. He was

going to spend time with that girl. This story has

been pretty much unanimous that the boat was taking on water,

that they showed up in the village. Pump failed, the

belge pump boat failed. And look, I've grown up in

boats where everything seems to go wrong, and that is

one of the things that always that's yeah, okay, And

I know we talked about boating, Jim and I did earlier.

You pull your plug and you ride wide open until

your water runs out, right, so you can so your

boat doesn't see all right, and you can tell you

can't tell me right now. I remember being in my

twenties early twenties. If I thought some dude was hot

and I was hanging out, my friends said, hey, we're

taking a walk, take the boat. I want to hang

out with the hot dude. You know, I'll find a

way home. There's people everywhere.

Speaker 1: We know. That's right, And it's important to mention that

there is no dispute that, you know. One of the

questions was, well, they left in such a hurry they

had his cell phone, all these things. Yeah they did.

They left in such a hurry because they were taking

on water on that boat. And there is actually dispatch

communication between one of the kids and the Mississippi Department

of Marin Resources, and the caller stated, our bilge pump

stopped working. We're going we're sinking. Can y'all please come

and requested a toe back to the mainland to get

the boat quote unsyannk. There were approximately seven people on

board that boat at the time, and so these people

are saying, why did they leave so fast? What's why

your boat is freaking sinking? When you tell your boy,

hey man, let's go, the boat is sinking. We got

to get out of here. And he's with a girl

and I get it, and he's like, look, I'm having

a good time. I'm you know, talking to this new girl.

Y'all go ahead and go, they're gonna go. You didn't

quote unquote leave your friend. You said, dude, either come

on or hang with hang with your lady here. And

that's what happened from there. Those kids that are involved

that everybody seems to be pointing this microscope at That's

all they know from there, that's all they know. Why

did they have his phone? Because exactly what Kelly said,

You leave a phone on a boat when you're in

the water, you just do. And this is like wat

deeep water everybody's actually in the water.

Speaker 2: You know, and you're having good stuff. And I saw

some numb nut online say cell phones are waterproof. Now

everybody knows that saltwater will.

Speaker 1: I grew up a cell phone. It's totally different than

And regardless of that, I don't put I don't bring

my phone in a tub. And I know my phone's waterproof.

If I accidentally drop it, fine, but I'm not gonna

sit there and sinking in my tub exactly.

Speaker 2: So people are being ridiculous. Everyone needs to calm down,

and I'm gonna make a I'm gonna go out here

and I'm gonna tell you what I think's gonna happen.

I think they're gonna look into all of the cell

phone records and the cell phone data from all of

these kids. I think that they're gonna see chronic calls

and texts to Nolan that are going to become more

frequent over time because they're realizing that they can't get

a hold of him. I think that everything is going

to back up what these kids are saying. And whenever

they say that the autopsy is undetermined, it's because he's

been in the water so long. There's also marine life

in that water that will feed on the body, and

a lot of things rocks.

Speaker 1: In that water that you're going to bang against that

are going to cause bruising.

Speaker 2: Right Well, and here's the other thing. Though, bruising does

not occur after death. Bruising occurs before death. Okay, So

if there's no massive bruising on the body that they

can find, then that in and of itself, to me

is a clue. I know they said that there was

the red thing on the skull, you know, underneath the

skin or whatever. Well, y'all, I mean, as he was.

If he was drowning, and if his head were to

bump on a log or hit something, those things are

going to happen. So I just believe in evidence. I

firmly believe in evidence. We have to live in a

world where we believe in evidence. We've got a group

of friends who are not only mourning the loss of

their friend, but they're also having to defend themselves against

the world. I think everyone needs to calm down. Let's

wait for the evidence to come out, and people like

Ben Crump and Al Sharpton need to take a seat.

Let that family grieve, let everybody grieve, and then let's

make a conclusive decision based on facts, based on evidence.

Speaker 1: And I agree. And last thing on that, something to

keep in mind. Ben Crump is a civil rights attorney.

A civil attorney. He sues people for a living. That's

what he does. He's not a criminal attorney. So that's

important to note.

Speaker 2: It is it is, And my genuine heart, soul prayers,

thoughts are with Nolan's family, their scent. They are suffering.

Speaker 1: They are suffering, and that's a good point, Kelly. My

heart goes out to his mother, she lost her baby,

and she's looking for answers, and his daddy and they're

looking for answers. And in my opinion, the only people

that really have a right to come out and give

an opinion other than what we're seeing in the investigation

is his parents. Absolutely, whether they're right or wrong. They

I'm not in their place, and I respect whatever they

think needs to be done. That's fine, amen, They have

a right to say that. But people running around, you know,

acting as if there's all this evidence that some foul

play occurred, show it to me, because everything I've seen

doesn't show it to me exactly.

Speaker 2: All right, let's go right here into our backyard in

Baton Rouge. All right, now, I know I kind of

giggled when he was going over the topics.

Speaker 1: Y'all.

Speaker 2: It's not funny at all. It's just so cliche that

you're like, oh gosh. But two inmates allegedly dragged another

inmate from his cell block and raped him in the

East Baton Rouge Parish prison. And this is according to

the Sheriff's office. James Merritt, twenty two years old, and

Latrelle Baker, twenty years old, were both arrested on counts

of first degree rape and second degree battery. Baker is

being held with a six hundred thousand dollars bond. Merit

is being held with an eight hundred thousand dollars bond. Now,

when we talk about prison rape, you know, there's always

off colored jokes and oh, you know, that kind of

stuff happens. But I want you to listen to what

this victim suffered. On June nineteenth, police responded to a

local hospital where they found the victim suffering from severe

physical injuries, claiming that he had been held down by

two inmates and raped in prison. Now, according to Merit's

arrest warrant, the victim was repeatedly kicked while he was

held down and sodomized with a wooden broomstick. The victim

sustained a perforated colon requiring surgery, and he has a

colostomy bag now, and if you're not familiar with that,

that's the bag that they have to input that your

body then poops into because his rectum and all of

that has been so damaged. He also had broken ribs,

a collapsed long and numerous lacerations. According to the arrest warrant.

Last week, the victim identified through a phonographic lineup that

Merrit and Baker were the two individuals who participated in

the attack. While the investigation was going on, Merrit was

released from prison after being held for simple kidnapping and

theft of a motor vehicle, but on Saturday, he was

arrested in connection with the alleged rape at his parents'

home in Baton Rouge. Baker was being held in the

parish prison on two counts of attempted second degree murder

and theft of a motor vehicle.

Speaker 1: Yeah, and East Bats Prison. If you're from around this area,

it's it's a tough place.

Speaker 2: That's not where you want to be no, and you.

Speaker 1: You are actually very good friends with the warden.

Speaker 2: I'm very good friends of the warden. And to that note, uh,

she is a stellar warden. She and we said she, Yeah,

it's a female warden. She is very She's had a

long career in corrections. She is probably one of the

most well versed, well trying, you know, I just have

I think a lot of her. But the reality of

the situation in a prison is that the warden can't

be everywhere all the time, you know, and things happen

even under your command, that you find out about later.

And when we talk about rape in prison, guys, it

is real. The fact that they sodomized him with a

broomstick does not make it any less of a rape.

And they they hurt this guy, they ripped his colon,

you know, so so and so that's serious, you know,

And yeah, you don't deserve that. I mean, no, And.

Speaker 1: This guy apparently was no angel. I mean, he was

in Parish prison on two counts of attempted second agree

murder either way, not saying not saying anything.

Speaker 2: Yeah, but have you ever gotten so mad, Jim that

you go, you know what I'm gonna go shove a

broomstick up someone's ass, Like, how do we get there?

These are animals, They're acting like fucking animals, and they

deserve to go to prison.

Speaker 1: All right, let's move to a little lighter story. Okay,

we're gonna do an utterly unrelated. I intentionally put it

in this order because that one was so heavy and

I'm like, we need to lighten it up after that one.

That's what we're gonna do. Utterly unrelated, y'all. Is a

story that we come across that, while it may not

be a crime, is hella interesting. So a Florida woman

was not happy with the license plate she recently received.

And y'all, have you ever got your new plate in?

Maybe I'm the only weird person that does us, but

I'm always excited to see if it just accidentally was personalized.

Maybe I didn't pay for the personalization, but it comes

in and it reads some sort of way.

Speaker 2: Yeah. And actually, my daughter's very first license plate that

came in, my husband and I we opened it up

to show where my husband's jaw drop because the letters

were hoe at the beginning. We were like ajo, no, yeah,

and we were like great, great.

Speaker 1: Yeah, you just what you do. Yet it's like a

box of chocolates. But in this case, a Florida woman

not happy with the license plate she received. The letters

and numbers she received have kind of a risk gay message,

and the plate has become a topic of conversation at

her retirement community. Yes, she's older. Opinions have been split. Quote,

I didn't know I was getting a plate that from

Nancy Stritto. And when Stritto went to collect her mail,

she got quite a surprise. She found a new license

plate with her vehicle registration renewal. So she assumed she

was going to get just the sticker you put on

your regular plate. They actually issued Earn a new plate.

So she looks at it and she said, I don't

think so. The plate read s q Z A five

to five, which from a distance those fives read as

s S. So she said, so basically it looks like

it says squeeze.

Speaker 2: Ass please ass Right there in the retirement communitation.

Speaker 1: She said, quote, I don't think a woman who lives

in a senior community that's going to be sixty seventy

seven years old next month will be driving around with

what this plate has to say. The plate has become

the talk around her retirement community. I can only imagine

a hilarious conversation there, especially among the men. Florida license

plates have been made at the state prison in North

Florida for almost one hundred years. They're then funneled through

county agencies. Her plate was mailed from the Brier Property

tax Collector's office, so basically no one wanted to talk

about it. When this reporter on this story went to

talk to the office that made this plate, and so

they left and they did some more digging and they

found out the state hass said, Okay, we'll replace squeeze ass.

So they're going to replace that plate. But she said, actually,

being over seventy, I might like a few haunts when

I'm going down the road, so I may end up

keeping the plate. An office manager, as I said, confirmed

they're going to replace it. They deem it offensive, so

they're going to replace it for free. But I love it,

and it reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where you

had the ass man with Cosmo.

Speaker 3: Kramer asma, Oh no, these don't belong to me, not

the ass man. I think there's been a mistake. What's

your name again, Cosmo Kramer.

Speaker 2: Cosmo Kramer, you are the ass man.

Speaker 1: No, I'm not the ass man.

Speaker 2: Well, as far as the State of New York is concerned, you.

Speaker 1: Are one of my favorite episodes ever. Would say, squeeze,

ass I get squeezed. Yes, I'd be riding all over

the place and squeeze I would too.

Speaker 2: That's that's awesome, you would hell yeah, absolutely. I remember

one time too, I almost got in a road rage

incident behind a license plate because it was I don't

remember what it said, but it was something kind of

along those lines, and once I figured out what it was,

I thought it was hilarious. So I picked up my

phone and I took a picture of it in traffic

to send to my husband to say, look at this. Well,

the woman took offense to it, apparently, and thought that

I was like, I don't know, stalking he or something.

She started screaming, the hollering, flipping me off, and I

was like, look here, look here, don't be putting a

cool plate on your car. You can't take the celebrity

that follows it. It's a damn good plate.

Speaker 1: There you go, all right, squeeze asstology.

Speaker 2: That's right. I do remember my old plate had a

da t on it and I love that because you

know we're whod at were the Saints? And so I

had I had the dat thought that was cool.

Speaker 1: I never had a cool play. It was like numbers

in one letter, two letters spread apart.

Speaker 2: What would er be if you could put any.

Speaker 1: Already have one?

Speaker 2: That's right, you do it.

Speaker 1: I had to pay for mine.

Speaker 2: I wish mine could say like hell yeah h A

I l y e h. Hell there you go, don't

steal that.

Speaker 1: The DMV.

Speaker 2: All right, let's go to New Jersey. And this is

a long one, A long one in the running here

because after more than two decades evading justice, one of

Rhode Island's most notorious fugitives has been captured in a

dramatic maritime operation involving the US Marshall Service, FBI, Rhode

Island State Police, and the US Coast Guard. Seventy year

old Ronald Fisher, a former anesthesiologist, was taken into custody

this past Thursday while operating a fifty six foot sailboat

approximately one hour off offshore from New Jersey. The vessel,

reportedly named the Silver Lining and registered under the alias

Richard Graydon, marked the end of a lengthy international manhunt

that began in two thousand and five. Fisher fled Rhode

Island during his criminal trial for the first degree sexual assault.

It doesn't say of who, but just of a first

degree sexual assault. He was later convicted in two thousand

and three of the rape of a woman aboard his boat,

The Lion King. Authorities say he disappeared before the verdict

and spent the ensuing twenty one years living under false

identities while sailing extensively. The breakthrough came from a credible

tip received by the Rhode Island Violent Fugitive Task Force.

The US Marshals worked in coordination with federal and state partners,

tracking Fisher to the waters off New Jersey. The US

Coast Guard intercepted the sailboat, boarding it without incident and

taking the fugitive into custody. Fisher fled Rhode Island during

his criminal trial in two thousand and five, and like

we said, was later convicted even though he wasn't there.

And it says we are proud of the persistent, coordinated

work that brought him to justice. They never stopped seeking

justice for his victim. Fisher now faces additional charges, including

failing to appear for trial and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

It remains unclear when he will be returned to Rhode

Island to face the full weight of his convictions and

his new charges. During his time on the run, Fisher

reportedly lived a transient seafaring lifestyle, using aliases and maintaining

a low profile to avoid detection. His case was featured

on America's Most Wanted. I need to look that up.

I'd be curious to watch it, which helped keep his

name and image and circulation among law enforcement and the

public for years. Officials praised the dedication of both current

and retired troopers who pursued the case for over two decades.

Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing that he was able to stay

on the run for twenty one years, and in a

time when you know, computers existed, it everything. This isn't uh,

it's not as impressive when someone from the sixties was

able to stay on the run for twenty years, because

you do what I call real police work. Back then,

there wasn't cameras ever wearing these flat cameras that get

you know, and license plate readers. I mean, this guy

in the cusp of technology has still been able to

maintain on the run that long, which is pretty impressive.

But living on a boat for twenty one years, well,

he was an anesthesiologist. He probably had a ton of

money he was putting aside.

Speaker 2: For twenty years.

Speaker 1: Huh yeah, I mean, if you know, if you think

about it, you can you can be cheaping.

Speaker 2: So maybe he wasn't on a boat on the run.

He was on the float. Yeah, that was cheesy. Give

me credit for it.

Speaker 1: It was horrible anyway, Glad they caught him me too.

All right, let's go to New York and we're going

to go to Shanectidy Schady. Yep, you saying that right,

I'm saying it right. You know how I know I'm

saying it.

Speaker 2: You looked up.

Speaker 1: No, I've done a story on it before on Exposed,

because this is where Lisa Frankoski is from. Ah and uh,

Lisa actually sent me this story. So shout out to

my favorite New Yorker. We're going to talk about the Schanectady,

which is her county. We're going to talk about the

Sheriff's office sad story here the morning the loss of

a canine named Leonidas. Loved the name Leonidas. Do you

know who Leonidas was.

Speaker 2: Well, you always asked me stuff to look down. That

would be a no Leonidas.

Speaker 1: Leonidas is what you get.

Speaker 2: Whenever you overwork a muscle in your elb.

Speaker 1: I believe it was like one of those Greek gods

or something.

Speaker 2: I just made something.

Speaker 1: Something to do with I just love the name. But

it was an eight year old veteran German shepherd who

died heat exhaustion, sadly just two days before the fourth

of July after the temperature monitoring an alarm system and

his patrol vehicle failed to activate. Now I was not

familiar they had, though SOMs Kelly explained it. But according

to the Sheriff's office, Leonidis was a dedicated partner of

Deputy Daniel Coppola. A preliminary investigation determed the advanced heat

alarm system. In emergency alarms designed to immediately alert officers

to vehicle or climate control malfunctions, they just didn't function

as intended in the accident. Quote. The loss of Leonidas

has felt deeply across our entire department and the Schenectady community.

That from Sheriff Dominique Augustino Daugastino, I think I got

that one right too Italian. He said that in a statement,

Leonidas Leonidis is not just a working dog, he was

a protector, a dedicated public servant, and a beloved member

of law enforcement. Air Soffice emphasized its focus on supporting

Deputy Coupola during this difficult time while conducting a thorough

review of the mechanical and technical failures. All Department canine

vehicles are equipped these safety systems, making malfunction particularly concerning.

Leonid has served the community for nearly a decade, contributing

to law enforcement efforts through specialized training and strong bond

with the handler. And uh so he's going to be missed.

But Kelly explained to us what they're talking about with this.

Speaker 2: So these dogs, first of all, let's start here. These

dogs are very highly trained. You know, they invest a

lot of time with their handlers. I know locally are handlers.

You know the dogs they're Dutch, right, so yeah.

Speaker 1: They're they're Belgium. Malin laws.

Speaker 2: Yeah, we have mallin laws and well and there's other

types for other purposes.

Speaker 1: But drug dogs aren't. Yeah yallum laws.

Speaker 2: So but you know, the bond between handler and canine

is real. It's kind of like your own pett at

home when some dogs are going to do better with

other handlers, and so they become almost like one, you know,

like this is your podna, this is your buddy. This

is the guy that comes running to help you, and

he takes down suspects and he protects you. And then

to know that the very system that's installed and put

in place to keep your pet or to keep the

canine cool failed is just horrific because these dogs know

they're working dogs, and it all comes down to it.

These are not pets. These are working dogs, and they

stay in these vehicles all day long with their handlers,

and so the cars will remain running. So if you've

ever walked past a unit while you're going in the

I don't know, you're going shopping and you walk past

a unit and the truck's running. There may not actually

be an officer inside of it, but that unit's going

to remain running with the air control and all that

for that canine. And so there's different systems at play.

But the officer will have a button on his rig wherever,

so if he had to release the canine, he could

pressed the button the canines coming out. But when that

system fail, it's not only going to be horrific to

think about what the dog went through, but also these

dogs cost upwards a twenty grand fifteen to twenty grand,

and so it's a huge asset that's been lost to

this agency as well. And I don't mean to minimize

it as if he's just property, but there's a whole

thing here. You know, it's like losing your partner. And

those systems can't fail. You know, that's not going to

work for me. And if I was working with that

sheriff's office, I know things go wrong. But the whole

reason we purchased this system was to protect our dog.

And then it failed.

Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day,

as sad as it is, it's a machine. It can break,

it is, and in this situation, apparently it broke. And

I'm assuming Kelly that Let's say this guy had been

on a call and he was inside of an apartment

building when this occurred. He would get an alarm that

said the he should have gotten note, yes, an alert

saying the air conditioners turned or something right, or.

Speaker 2: The temperature has reached above a certain point, and to

check your dog. But look, the canine handlers, I know

they're checking in on their dogs anyway, you know. So

my assumption would be, you know, he could have even

gone in for lunch. Think about it, You go into

a restaurant, you take in your lunch break. How hot

does it get in a car very quickly? And so

this dog could have died within thirty minutes, you know.

But I know that he's hurting. I know the officer

is feeling terrible. It's a tragedy, and so, you know, yeah,

and so again thoughts, prayers and thank that pup for

his service.

Speaker 1: And he's a beautiful, beautiful pup. Yeah, to say, the

lace sore.

Speaker 2: To that note, I would like to say something real

quick off the cuss. But we have a local canine

that was recently recently passed away. His name was Casey.

He worked with our Shriff's office. And Casey was a

drug dog, a black lab, and he was in and

out of my classroom for many, many, many years. And

he was recently lost last week just from old age

and all that. And he was six. So to his handler,

Deputy Elis, I want to just extend my my heartfelt

you know, I'm sorry for the loss of your pup.

He did great things and was a great officer and

great tool in the classroom. And I know in our community.

Speaker 1: Very good.

Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Florida. We're going to go

to Port Canaveral, Florida, where a Georgia man with an

active murder related warrant was among six cruise passengers taken

into custody at Port Canaveral on Friday, July seventeenth, as

law enforcement officers checked travelers during disembarking and embarking. Let

me ask you something, Jim, yep, if you were wanted

for murder, would you be going on a cruise?

Speaker 1: If I was wanted for murder, Yeah.

Speaker 2: No, I would think that to be the dumbest shit

you could do. But then again, we've never claimed murderers

are the smartest, right. But according to the Brevard County

Sheriff's Office, Martel Murray of Georgia and his cabin mate,

Kendaria Bernie of Leon County, Florida, were arrested early in

the day. Murray faced a warrant for violating conditions of

his release tied to prior murder charges, while Bernie was

detained on a violation of probation. The Sheriff's office shared

details on social media with a touch of dark humor,

saying quote, Luckily these two still got to vacation together

at the lodge, even though they got accommodations with separate

sleeping quarters. Both Murray and Bernie are being held without

bond now. There were additional arrests too, which is pretty interesting.

Veronica Hamlet of Tampa, Florida was detained on an outstanding

warrant for failure to appear, and she was later released

on one thousand dollars bond. James Bruton of Allendale, South Carolina,

was arrested for violation of probation and released on a

five hundred dollars bond. One July eighteenth, the final two passengers,

who were not publicly named, were stopped while disembarking. Both

were on felony probation and lacked approval to leave the country,

violating their probation terms by going on a cruise. Brevard

County authorities routinely run warrant checks on cruise passengers at

the busy port, a major hope for departures and arrivals

to the Bahamas and the Caribbean. Officials described the incidents

as part of standard enforcement efforts to apprehend individuals with

active legal issues. No further details on the specific ships

involved or the underlying murder case against Murray were immediately

released in the sheriff's announcement.

Speaker 1: Yeah, not the smartest thing to do. And I'll tell

you what. They take security very seriously on cruise, Lie

and I have personal experience. So I don't think I've

ever told this story on here.

Speaker 2: But I'm ready.

Speaker 1: I went on a cruise to Alaska with my wife,

probably five years ago. Longer than that, maybe about eight

years ago. And we go got to Alaska, had a

great trip, come back and we're getting into our poor,

which is Seattle. So we had to fly home from Seattle,

but we caught the boat in Seattle. So we get

back to Seattle and we're disembarking the boat and I

get pulled out of the line, like to get off

the boat, and my wife gets pulled out of the line.

But they separate us, and I'm like, what the hell

is going on? And so the guy's talking to me

and he's asking me who I was and who was

the person I was with, and he starts asking me

a lot of questions about like my wife, what's her birthdate? Yeah?

How long have you been married? A lot of the yeah,

I'm like, I think, yeah, just a lot of very

personal questions that only a husband, I guess would know

or someone very close to that person. Well, they were

also talking to my wife, and I could tell it

was a different conversation than I was having. All the

smoke clear, y'all, and they were making sure that I

was not trafficking my wife. I swear they were asking

my wife like, are you really with him? I don't know,

maybe they thought it was almost like they thought, uh no,

it was I was like, no, way, she's with him,

some ship like that, I'm telling you. I was like,

what the hell you don't think? Are you asking her

if she's really with me? Yeah? But I mean, no ship.

They were asking me all kinds of things, and then

come to find out, of course, I talked to my

wife after that, and I'm like, what were they saying

to you? And they were asking her, you know, are

you really supposed to be with him? And checking her stuff,

making sure her ID was legit, asking her her address,

all these sayings, social security number. Yeah. I don't know

if somebody on the boat may have miss reported something

and said I think that I don't think they're together.

I don't know what it was, but I'm going to

tell you what. I was like, Dang. After we got

out of there, I was like, you know, security on

a boat is legit Manyeah, well, and you know, free

me out. I'm like, what do you want me to

do this? My wife?

Speaker 2: I married her, asked my.

Speaker 1: Wife for They even asked us for our marriage certificate.

If I'm not mistaken, why would you have that on

a because we're going out of the country and there

was something like we crossed out of the country. I

don't remember exactly how it worked, but I want to say,

and I'll come back next week because my wife's going

to hear this and confirm I screwed something up. But

I want to say they asked for and she had it.

I want to say it was one of the things

listed the ending. I don't remember, but I'll get clarification

from her. But they asked they were convinced we weren't married.

It was almost like they were trying to see if

I was trying to sneak someone over the border. Again,

I don't know what it was.

Speaker 2: This is nowhere, This is nowhere near that cool. But

I will tell you when we went on our honeymoon,

when we first got to the ship, I don't know

what I thought was going to happen, but I apparently

thought I was just going to be drunk the whole

time because I had bought tons of big old bottles

of wine. Well, why, as we were getting our stuff

out of the car.

Speaker 1: To get up on the cruise ship.

Speaker 2: Well, you can bring up to so much, right, But

then I'm looking at and I'm like, what the hell

is wrong with me? I was like, oky, drink all this.

So I just put you.

Speaker 1: Can get free alcohol.

Speaker 2: I don't jump. I don't know. I was in the

throes of life changes anyway, So I just put the

big bottles back in the car and I was like, hey,

bringing all this shit, I'm going on a cruise. So

we go on our cruise, have a good time. We

come back, we open our car doors. The freaking heat

had blown the court. Do you know what wine smells

like after a week in the heat in your car?

So we had to drive home like gagging the whole

way because it smelled like rotten berries in our car.

But we made it, guys.

Speaker 1: And it still smells like rotten berries.

Speaker 2: And yeah, my car's pretty dirty. He gets on me

every time about it.

Speaker 1: Let's go to lustful lawbreakers. Mmmm mmm all right, and

we're gonna go back to Florida, and I'm going to

tell you about a little foot old man with a

foot problem. So after repeatedly asking a woman for photos

of her feet, a Florida man allegedly exposed himself and

then followed the victim around a Low's Home improvement store

before running away. This according to police, so Landon Spearman,

who is twenty spear I.

Speaker 2: Know, why did I always have these names.

Speaker 1: Was arrested for indecent exposure and connection with an occurrence

that occurred last Tuesday at the business in an Orlando suburb.

According to the War, the victim told police she was

completing an Instacart delivery at Lowe's Home improvement store when

an unknown man approached her and repeatedly request pictures of

her feet. Oh yeah, that's normal, right, yeah. So after

declining the man's request, she I guess felt pressure. She

accepts his phone number in an effort to end the

encounter and continue like scanning her stuff and getting out

of there. As she walked away, the man later identified

as Spearman called out to her, and when she turned around,

Spearman intentionally exposed his flaccid penis and said, call me

for some d and I'll let you feel dress to that, So,

the victim said. Spearman then followed her into Lowe's until

she approached a group of customers, which kind of caused

him to leave the area. During a subsequent police interview,

he admitted to the victim's account of the incident, didn't deny.

He was arrested and booked into jail. He was released

on a thousand dollars bond and he'll be back in

court August nineteenth on the misdemeanor case. And what surprised

me about this whole thing is it was a misdemeanor.

You would think that would be a felling.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 1: I mean, if you got a perch of woman's taken out,

you mind if I take pictures of your feet and

she's like, hell, uh hey, you're not gonna take pictures

of my feet, and then you pull out your ding ding?

What go figure?

Speaker 2: I don't what is it about feet that becomes a

turn on? Because feet to me, are gross.

Speaker 1: Bro. Those people out there love and some feet. Wow,

they just love them. They won't put their hands all

over them.

Speaker 2: I mean I do have my toes always painted, but

like I don't expect anyone to flap a pecker at

me over them. They ain't nothing to call home about.

Speaker 1: That's wild. Well don't run anto, mister Spearman. He gonna

want pictures of them.

Speaker 2: Well you know what, I'm gonna make my own money

with my feet. Remember, we we're gonna put them on

what was it not? Whatnot?

Speaker 1: Whatnot? You put them on what only fans?

Speaker 2: Yeah?

Speaker 1: All right, all right, Well there you have it. That

is this week's lustful lawbreakers.

Speaker 2: Well, why don't we now move into some foolish felons? Okay,

right after that, So, a Florida woman is facing criminal

charges after allegedly stabbing her friend with scissors after he

told her that she couldn't drink a beer in an uber.

Well that's reasonable. This past Monday, Lynn Marie Zamora, which

the Zamora caught me off guard at first, because remember

we had that teacher Zamora that was abusing her student.

Wasn't that also in Florida? Or do we not make

that either way. Lynn Marie Zamora, thirty two, was arrested

in charge with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. The

incident unfolded the night when that night when a deputy

with the Miami Dade Sheriff's Office was called to the scene,

where the victims said Zamora became irritated with him because

she wanted to drink a beer in an uber that

they were taking to a friend's house. After telling Zamora

several times that she couldn't drink alcohol in the rideshare vehicle,

she took out a pair of scissors from her purse

stabbed him in the left bicep and the left calf,

breaking the skin. He was taken to a local hospital

where he was treated for his injuries. The uber driver

confirmed what happened in the vehicle. Zamora was arrested and

is being held in the jail in the seventy five

hundred dollars bond. This past Tuesday, she did appear in court,

where her defense attorney asked that she'd be given hospital treatment.

The prosecutor, however, asked the judge for a monetary bond,

saying Zamora is a flight risk with a criminal record.

Speaker 1: I didn't even know you couldn't drink beer in an uber.

Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be an open container? You can't?

Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're well, I guess yeah, regardless of you

being a passenger. But I mean people you talk about that,

they were in Louisiana where you can get dack or

ease through a drive.

Speaker 2: Yeah, but as long as you don't break the seal.

Speaker 1: They don't have no seals on and give you a

straw with a paper on top.

Speaker 2: I know, don't break the seal.

Speaker 1: Whatever.

Speaker 2: Look why first of all, why you got scissors in

your purse? I mean? And then to pull him out

in stay album?

Speaker 1: Probably for that reason, I know. But like over a

beer ever, because you can't drink.

Speaker 2: A beer, I'd be more inclined to pour the beer

on somebody in anger, not stab them.

Speaker 1: Over it in front of witnesses.

Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that uber driver was like, and shit

is going on?

Speaker 1: Time to get out the uber. That's what I'd have

told him. All right, let's go to the True Crime

time Machine, baby boo doo, and we're going to go

to July twenty third of nineteen ninety three. And you know,

I remember distinctly when this occurred, and that is the

murder of James Jordan Senior. For those of you not

for me with James Jordan Senior, he is the devoted father,

or was the devoted father of NBA superstar Michael Jordan.

He was shot and killed in a random roadside robbery

while taking a nap in his car along in North

Carolina Highway. The murder sent shockwaves through the sports world

and the nation, and of course Michael Jordan himself was

never the same after that. Jordan, who was fifty seven

elder Jordan had been more turning home to Charlotte after

attending a friend's funeral in Wilmington, North Carolina. He pulled

his red Lexus SC four hundred, which was a gift

from his son, and it actually had a vanity plate

that said you n C. University of North Carolina zero

zero two three. He pulls that off the highway and

he was really tired, felt like he was gonna fall

asleep driving, so he pulls off to sleep. And according

to prosecutors and testimony, teenagers Daniel Green and Larry Demiri,

they were both eighteen and longtime friends from that county

with prior criminal records. They see that luxury vehicle, they

approach it with the attempt to rob Jordan. As Jordan

began to wake up, Green allegedly shot him once in

the chest with a thirty eight caliber revolver. The pair

then stole items from the car, including Jordan's wallet, an

NBA championship ring for Michael Jordan, and his cell phone,

before dumping the body in a swampy area near McCall,

South Carolina, which is about thirty miles away. Jordan's badly

decomposed body was discovered by fishermen on August third of

nineteen ninety three in a creek, and due to its

the condition of the body, he was initially a John

Doe and was even cremated before being identified August thirteen

through dental records. The breakthrough in the case came from

calls made on Jordan's stolen's cell phone, which police traced

to Green and Demary. The suspects were arrested on August

fifteenth of nineteen ninety three charge of first degree murder, arm, robbery,

and conspiracy, and Demary later pleaded guilty and testified against Green,

claiming Green was a shooter. Green maintained his innocence and

of course he said De Mary was a shooter. In

nineteen ninety six, was convicted of first degree murder and

sentenced to life, and to Mary also received a life sentence,

and the case fuelled some intense media speculation because they

were thinking Jordan, Michael Jordan had some pretty stornch gambling

habits at this time in his life, and they were

thinking his gambling debts were something to do with this. Initially,

all that untrue. Michael Jordan was at the peak of

his career with the Chicago Bulls during this time, and

as far as both Green and de Mary, they continue

to serve life sentences. But I remember that happening and

all I could think was, what do you think these

dudes thought when they found out we just killed Michael

Jordan's daddy. Yeah, and they were probably a big fan.

Everybody loved Michael Jordan in nineteen.

Speaker 2: Ninety My husband's a huge fan still, he loves Michael

Jordan absolutely. Well, how could you not? You know, he's

the goat, and you know, to be just mining your

own business, not that any murder is okay, right, but

to just be mining your own business you're not bothering

a soul. And because right, and because somebody you couldn't

go make it on their own, couldn't go, you know, grind,

make their money and earn the things that they wanted,

they're willing to just take your life over a fricking

car and then stupid enough to use your cell phone. Yeah,

you know, that's a shame. But i know it's been

a long time, but I'm sure that Michael Jordan still

thinks about it to this day.

Speaker 1: He was very close to his dad, Yeah, very close.

Speaker 2: And I'm sure his number one supporter, you know, and

just be wiped out over nothing. And that arrest, by

the way, was on my birthday, August fifteenth.

Speaker 1: All right, so now everybody knows when you were born.

Speaker 2: I was born on August fifteenth.

Speaker 1: Y'all fill out them credit carder applications.

Speaker 2: So all right, let's go ahead and give you an

update to this case that we gave you a while back.

It's kind of an odd one, but a Florida man

who was caught having a sexual encounter with a vacuum

cleaner is getting off, which unintended. He's getting off with

probation after taking a plea deal for his indecent exposure arrest.

Fifty one year old Kevin Dale Westerhle pled no contest

to a reduced misdemeanor and decent exposure charge after police

say he performed a sex act with a vacuum cleaner

outside a home in a gated resort community near Disney World.

Witnesses provided photos and videos of Westerhold to investigators of

him pleasuring himself with a vacuum in broad daylight. That's

according to the police report. Westerhold has been sentenced to

twelve months of probation. He was fined two hundred and

seventy one dollars, and he was also ordered to undergo

a psycho sexual evaluation.

Speaker 1: I would be interested to see what that evaluation reads,

because I don't then, I mean, what the hell's for

all with people? Now the Senate. Should he have done

ten years in prison for having sex with a vacuum poiner?

Probably not take the vacuum consent. The problem I have

is he did it in public, and that makes me

a little bit nervous. If he's in the privacy of

his own home. Yeah, I mean with this vacuum cleaner.

I mean, you know that's one thing, but uh, what

a weirdo, man, what a weirdo.

Speaker 2: And the bizarre thing is like, was he using it

as a penis pump? Because a vacuum doesn't.

Speaker 1: I have no idea, Kelly, haven't put that much thought

into it.

Speaker 2: Well I have, because I have a good vacuum and

I still can't get all the crap up out of

my carpet that my kids leave. And this guy's over

there having you know, wild outlandish encounters with his vacuum.

Was it?

Speaker 1: I don't know.

Speaker 2: I need to know.

Speaker 1: Well, find out. Give us an update.

Speaker 2: It's got good.

Speaker 1: The third we'll have more updates on that vacuum clean story.

We're going to start any other story in the history

of Crime War Weekly.

Speaker 2: We're gonna start getting vacuum sponsors because I'm all about it, right.

Speaker 1: All right, folks, let's go into overtime, all right, And

We're going to start off in Pennsylvania, and I'm gonna

tell you about Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and

his family, who were safe but shaken after an attempted

burglary at their Pennsylvania home. This was early this past

Saturday morning. Police responded to a reporter of burglary in

progress at the Berkley residence. This is at five am.

Officers arrived to find the suspects had already fled the scene,

and police confirmed that at least one intruder entered the

home while Barkley, his fiance, and their two young children

were inside. Now, no one was physically injured, though the

family was understandably unsettled. Quote their home and our main

concern is that the residents at that home at that

time were unharmed, which they were. This from Captain Tyler Morier. Now.

Authorities believe multiple suspects were involved and have released images

of a white suv believed to be connected to the incident.

It does not appear anything with stolen, but the investigation

is ongoing. The Chester County DA's office is assisting with

the investigation and has asked the public to check their

home security cameras for any suspicious activity around five am

that morning. Investigators are examining whether this break in is

linked to broader patterns of thefts targeting professional athletes homes

in recent years. Similar incidents have affected other high profile players,

this prompting concerns about organized rings like this Barclay is

entering his third season with the Eagles after helping lead

them to a Super Bowl victory, and he is not

publicly commented on the incident. What a hell of a

player he is. But but hopefully they'll catch those people soon.

Speaker 2: You know, there's nothing more invasive or more You feel

just so unnerved when some strangers been in your home.

I find that to be just one of the most

The feeling is so bizarre. You know that that's supposed

to be your safe place and then these people just

you know, bust up in there, and then to not

know if they're targeting you because of your status as

a player or not.

Speaker 1: Too.

Speaker 2: I'd be worried about my my babies and my you know,

my fiance and and everything else. Five am is an

odd break in time too.

Speaker 1: You'd think, yeah, I guess.

Speaker 2: You know, because the sun's coming. Well, I don't know.

I guess it depends. But most of the most burglaries are.

Speaker 1: Like that at one o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd think they'd be doing it in the middle.

Speaker 1: Of the night.

Speaker 2: But uh, I'm glad he's okay. I'm glad he didn't

turn into some type of you know, murder situation, because

that would have been terrible. What do you think they're

doing though, if they're targeting these players, are they looking

for memorabilia that they can you know, auction off or whatever,

or do you think it's is it specifically because he

would be a player?

Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly where And this is a major ring.

Like so far, Joe burrows house has been broken into.

I know shad Or Sanders house has been broken into.

We covered those also, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, all of those,

Sakwan Barklay now, but when those people were targeted, they

knew they were at away games. So what a lot

of these rings are doing is they know that Joe

Burrow is playing the New Orleans Saints in New Orleans

that night, and so they go to his home in

Cincinnati and they let up on all his jewelry. And

they know that these football players have jewelry. They know

they have probably some cash in there somewhere, but they

know they're rich, and they know they got valuables, and

they know they're not home. You know, must said, that's

the shocking thing about the Saquon Barkley situation is he

was home. It's not even NFL season yet, so the

fact that they would break in there with people there

is the shocking thing. In all these other cases, nobody

was home, So I don't know that they knew it

was Saquon Barkley. Yeah, maybe they did.

Speaker 2: I don't know why. But I've thought about it before

that if you just became insanely famous one day, just

insanely famous, how different your life would be on a

security level. You know what I mean that you cannot

you can't even be at home without people just knowing

you're just innately. You know, you're rich and so wanting

the things that you have, people wanting a piece of you,

a part of you, and you're just trying to live

your everyday life, you know, average Joe's we get to go.

And I'm not saying, oh, poor rich people, but I

am saying when it when things like that, when you're

targeted because of who you are, you know, we have

a if it's a hate crime, because you're targeted by

race or religion or sex or something like that, we

find that to be horrible. And then when you're targeted

simply because of your fame, that's got to just get old,

you know. And when I watched. I know you do.

That's why you need to ask grab as.

Speaker 1: You're my fans, so they can target me all they want.

Speaker 2: Well, but I think about Justin Bieber, and I think

about people when we watch their public crash outs and

they're you know, the paparazzi chot I do.

Speaker 3: Well.

Speaker 2: I have a soft spot for him. I have a

soft spot for him, but he he has tried so

many times to plead with like paparazzi and people. Look,

I'm just trying to have dinner with my family. Look,

I'm just and they're constantly bombarded. And then you go

home and you can't even be safe at home because

people are targeting you. That's got to be just a

different world. I don't know about I guess, I guess.

So all right, let's go to Memphis, Tennessee, and a

thirty six year old Memphis mothers facing first degree murder

charges after fatally shooting a twenty year old man she

discovered hiding under her thirteen year old daughter's bed in

the early more hours of July sixteenth. Now, I'm not

gonna lie. When I first read this article, I thought, well,

good for her. The hell is that man? Doing under

her daughter's bed. But then, of course the more that

you learn things become a little bit ya.

Speaker 1: I still think good for her, but go ahead, okay.

Speaker 2: While Memphis police respontted to a shooting call around one

forty five am, and officers found Rhydarius Morton lying in

the front yard with a single gunshot wounding to the

back of the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to the affidavit, Scott told officers she saw a

dude under my kid's bed, and I did what I

had to do. Investigators later learned that Scott's daughter had

invited Morton into the home. The teenager reportedly told police

that her mother had previously warned her that if she

ever brought a boy into the house, Scott would quote

put a hole in his ass end quote Mama wasn't

play in. Scott has been charged with first degree murder

and employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.

She remains in custody. The incident has sparked intense discussion

on social media, with many users expressing support for Scott

and calling for her release, while others have criticized the

circumstances leading up to the shooting. Some have suggested starting

a gofund me for her legal defense. Police have not

released additional details about the relationship between Morton and the

juvenile siding the ongoing investigation, and the Shelby County District

Attorney's Office is expected to present the case to a

grand jury. Now, I want to add something to this

because there was an update. And this is why I said,

it gets a little bit strange. And that's because even

though he was twenty years old, new information has been

released that he had the cognitive level of a thirteen

year old, So he was not a he was not

working at the capacity of a twenty year old. And

so a lot of people, what ba hell does that matter? Well,

because now people are going, you know, well, wait a second,

the daughter, who is young invited him to come over.

He didn't have the capacity of you know, an adult

to know that this is you know people are looking at.

Speaker 1: So that hasn't been proven in court though, right, well.

Speaker 2: No, it hasn't gone to court, but they have released

multiple things as of this morning that we're recording this

saying that he was known to not be of you know,

full mental capacity. So the argument here is whether you know,

who should have been protecting him and not, you know,

watching what he was doing if he was not at

that cognitive level. Now I'm not hating on mom here.

I do think that there's an issue with the fact

that he was in the front yard with a bullet

to the back of the head. So did she shoot

him outside of the home. That's different than if he

was retreating and she shot him, versus if he was

under the bed hiding and she shot him. It does

change the dynamic here, and the fact that she was

arrested tells me that police are probably airing with that

thought pattern here because he's in the front yard with

a gunshot wounded the back of the head, which tells

me he was retreating and you cannot do that. I

know people would say no if that was my kid,

but you got to hear me out. If someone if

a bad guy breaks into your house and then he's retreating,

you can't chase him down the street and shooting right

right right, So I think that.

Speaker 1: Is why If that's the case, I get it. Yeah.

Speaker 2: So again, these are all allegeds. We don't have any

confirmation of this. You know, no, no doctor has come

out or said this or anything. So if that's the

case that the capacity, the mental capacity is diminished, I

think that he should have had someone better watching what

was going on with him.

Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll say to that is I have daughters,

and I can tell you that if you're twenty years old,

I don't care about your mental capacity at that point.

If you're under my daughter's thirteen year old daughter's bed,

I'm gonna put a hole in your.

Speaker 2: Ass in the house.

Speaker 1: Though, in the house, you're not gonna go No, they're

running away. They're run away, and I'm gonna call the police.

But I'm not going to take the time to determine

what your mental capacity is.

Speaker 2: Right, nor are you going to ask for an idea.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if I walk in the room and

you're in the room, I'm gonna put a hole in

your ass, just like just like her. It sounds to

me like she's trying to protect her daughter. Now, what occurred,

whether she shot him in the house, out of the house,

that's to be determined. And certainly, if he was running away,

she doesn't have the legal right to do that. But

I see, I see where her mind frame is. And

they obviously had a relationship prior to this, because the

mother said, if he comes over here again, I'm gonna

put a hole in his ass. Yeah, I don't know

this was an ongoing relationship apparently.

Speaker 2: Well I don't know if she meant him specifically or

a boy in in in you know, in like general.

But I'll tell you this. They charged her.

Speaker 1: She not say if he comes over here again, I'm

gonna put a hole in his.

Speaker 2: Hea, if she ever brought a boy into the house.

So but the fact that they charged her with a

first degree murder tells me this. She had a time

to cool off and have reflection before she shot him.

And I think that's what this is gonna all come

down to. You know, you can't just jump and say, oh,

this was a beau. This is how muney it gets.

Speaker 1: Okay.

Speaker 2: As a mother, you'd like to say, oh my god,

a man's in there. He must be abusing her, using

her or whatever. But in eyes of the law, if

you have time to cool off and reflect, and that

doesn't mean going to vacation or go drink a beer

and smoke a cigarette, it means that there was enough

time for you to realize he was leaving. He was

running away, he was whatever. There is a reason she

was charged with first degree murder, and I am inclined

again just speculation here, but I am inclined to believe

that he was retreating. He made it out of the house,

and she shot him while he was leaving, and that's

why it's the first degree charge.

Speaker 1: First degree murdyr could also be from the premeditation the quote, yeah,

saying I'm gonna put a hole in his ass, So

you premeditated. That premeditation is required for first degree murder.

Speaker 2: Yeah, but premeditation can also be developed within thirty seconds

to a minute. I mean, you don't have premeditation doesn't

have to have days or anything like that either. So again,

if he's leaving and then she goes, oh, you know,

screw this, grabs her gune runs and shoots him, you

deserve the first degree murder charge because that's different than

you know, woke in the middle of the night to

a grown man in your home under your daughter's bed.

The circumstances have shifted there. So this will be an

interesting one to watch it play out, because I think

this one's going to stay in the media. But again,

they gave her first degree murder. I'm gonna think he

was retreating.

Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to Florida again. Man. I've been

in Florida four or five times a day while in

in Florida, and I'm gonna tell you about a Key

Largo man accused of kidnapping a teen girl and hiding

her in a dryer. And you know, Kelly swears we

did this story, and I've explained to her we have

not done the story. So well, I feel like nobody's

heard this, but Kelly.

Speaker 2: Okay, maybe I was there.

Speaker 1: Joe, a fifty three year old Monroe County, Florida man,

is facing multiple felony charges after authority said he held

a teenage girl hostage and hit her inside of his

clothes when she tried to leave his home. Christopher Michael

Vit of Key Largo was arrested following a dramatic nine

on one call from an out of county victim. From

the out of county victim, deputies responded to the residents

on mer Mar Drive. This is around eleven forty five am,

and they found the team hiding inside a dryer. According

to the Sheriff's office, a girl told investigators Vite had

restrained her, placed her in the dryer, and taken her

cell phone after she expressed her desire to leave. She

had reportedly been subjected to ongoing sexual activity with Vite

for approximately two years. While investigating the scene and collecting evidence,

authorities also discovered counterfeit currency, and the US Secret Service

was in notified, and so he faces charges including kidnapping,

interference with child custody, multiple counts of unlawful sexual activity

with a miner. He was booked and the team was

safely removed and placed in custody of a family member

with Florida Department of Children and Family Services ninety five.

Speaker 2: Listen, this little girl right here, better look up to

the sky and thank the stars and God above that

she is not dead somewhere, because I think that she

had broken off more than was expected here because two

years of sexual she's been groomed apparently by this guy

that would make her eleven, right, wasn't she thirteen? Yeah,

since she's eleven years old, and then when he's not

getting his way, he's gonna stuff her in a dryer.

Speaker 1: Her phone, but it doesn't specify our age, just as

teenage girl.

Speaker 2: Oh okay, I just totally made that up then, sorry,

But either regardless, you know, this is a grown ass man.

He's obviously in some some very nefarious things here, but

she must have saved her own life. I don't know

how she called nine to one one because he took

her phone, but whatever went down here, this is terror fine,

and I hope that she uh recognizes that this was

an absolute predator, you know, and she's very very very lucky.

I'm glad that he's in custody. This, this would have

gone very badly. This is a life saved. To me.

This is when we look at cases and we go,

my god, you know what happened here? What could have

been done? You actively are seeing a young girl's life

saved here, and this is going to probably get bigger

than we ever imagined, right, I really think that. All right,

let's stay here in Louisiana and we're gonna go to Shreveport.

I feel like you picked this one, Jim, this story

because you think she's pretty.

Speaker 1: I mean, she is pretty. That's not why you didn't

see them.

Speaker 2: You didn't see the mug shop before you read it,

don't lie.

Speaker 1: I mean I'm sure it did, but I mean I

would have it doesn't matter. Could have been a guy

and I would have printed that story.

Speaker 2: So I'm just saying, all right, so right here. The

Shreveport Caddo Financial Crimes Task Force has arrested Lehanne Rigsby

following an investigation into the alleged theft of funds from

Waterworks Irrigation Incorporated. Investigators learned that Rigsby managed the company,

which was owned by her ex husband, from approximately August

of twenty five through April of twenty six, and during

that time, she allegedly created a similarly named business and

then diverted customer payments into accounts that were under her control.

It's kind of genius.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not going to ask me, SNK. So.

Speaker 2: Financial records show that multiple checks intended for Waterworks Irrigation

Incorporated were deposited into Rigsby's business account, including one check

totaling twenty thousand, fifty five dollars and twenty eight cents.

Because he wouldn't notice that, right, No one's going to

notice twenty grand. Investigators also obtained evidence that customers were

directed to send payments to a post office box associated

with another business operated by Rigsby. She was arrested for

one count of theft and booked into Cado Correctional Center

on July twenty first, twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1: I mean, and this is a good reason on why

you should never hire your eggs, whether it's a guy

or a girl. Don't ever hire your ex or stuff

like this is gonna happen. And I agree with you,

pretty Janius. Actually, she sounds like she named her business

very similar to his business, so probably she can get

away with cash and checks in his business's name. She

changes it around a little bit, and yeah, she gonna

get her money back one way or the other.

Speaker 2: He was the way she felt he was waterworks irrigation.

What if she made it water works irritation, it.

Speaker 1: Was probably waterworks inc. Or something like that. And so

if you turn that into the bank, they're not gonna

question that.

Speaker 2: I just don't think like that. So like when I

read it, I'm like, that's genius. That's a good scam.

I mean it's bad, but that's a good that's a

good scam there. But twenty grand. You can't siphon that

much off at one time, No.

Speaker 1: And that's where she really screwed up. One check for

twenty grand. I mean, if you're putting four hundred dollars

check here, Yeah, four hundred dollars check there. He may

have never missed it, but you go through twenty grand,

he's gonna miss it. That was a big job that

he didn't get paid for. And he's gonna be like,

wait a minute and start digging in there. But she

finally got arrested. Never let your ex, you know, work for.

Speaker 2: You, right, just stay miserable and married.

Speaker 1: I guess there's a couple of people out there that

are honest. But yeah, anyway, all right, that's all we

got today, Kelleen, the final faults.

Speaker 2: Yes, I'm gonna be looking over my shoulder next time

I go on a cruise because they got lots of

people on there that have been arrested for murder and

that ain't cool.

Speaker 1: That's right, And shout out to the yellow sheet Tigers,

who are only five and a half weeks from football season.

We are. So if y'all don't understand, I go through

depression between football seasons, you don't know, gressed? Yeah, I

am not myself. And then football season hits and it

is on and SEC Media Week is this week and

I've been watching it, So go Tigers. Wednesday, right, l

so much for listening. Till next time. I'm Jim Chapman

and I'm Kelly Jenny and we're your host of Crime.
