True Crime Time for August 19, 2026 | A 38-Year-Old Confession, School Bus Nightmare & Child Torture Charges
On today’s episode of True Crime Time, Woody opens with the message that continues to drive Real Life Real Crime: justice for everybody. He urges listeners to keep supporting What Happened to Madison, Justice for Hailey, Barbara Blount, and the many other families still fighting for answers. Woody also reflects on why some high-profile cases receive years of national attention while countless other victims and families struggle to get anyone to notice their cases at all.
Today’s stories include a disturbing investigation at a Chicago elementary school, where two custodians were found with gunshot wounds to the head inside the building while no students were present; and a Washington State Costco employee charged with murder after police say jealousy led him to deliberately ram a coworker’s motorcycle with his vehicle, killing the 20-year-old rider.
Woody then shares an extraordinary cold-case development nearly 38 years in the making. In 1987, 20-year-old Melissa “Missy” Taylor Ellison was found murdered in her Jacksonville bedroom while her 13-month-old daughter was left alive in the home. Decades later, a 70-year-old man walked into law enforcement and allegedly confessed that he struck Melissa with a log during a burglary. Woody discusses the generations of pain left behind by an unsolved homicide and the family members—including Melissa’s daughter—who waited almost four decades for an arrest.
In F’d Up Professionals, a New Jersey mother demands answers after her nine-year-old son fell asleep on a school bus, was never noticed by the driver, and later woke up alone inside a hot bus parked at the depot. The child managed to get himself out and find an adult for help.
The episode then turns to an especially horrific child abuse case in Cincinnati, where three women face murder and child-endangering charges following the death of a seven-year-old boy. A detective testified that investigators found evidence consistent with repeated beatings, burns, prolonged submersion in water, and other abuse before the child was discovered dead after reportedly being duct-taped and placed inside a closet.
Woody also discusses an Indiana man convicted of murdering his 11-month-old stepdaughter who was released early after serving just over 20 years of a 55-year sentence—only to be returned to prison months later for alleged parole violations.
Finally, Woody ends with a wildlife crime out of Texas, where game wardens are offering a reward for information about the illegal shooting of alligators at the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. His message is simple: if you hunt, respect the animal and follow the law.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hello everybody, welcome to episode of True Crime Time for Wednesday.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Woody Overton in, as always, hashtag, what happened to Madison?
[SPEAKER_03]: Hashtag Justice for Haley, Hashtag.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be just from Ms. Barbara Blunt now and everybody case out there, we pray for, you know, people, I think I got, I got more an email and yes, say from a family, it's just absolutely horrific case about a baby, a die from morphine overdose and all the stuff that hasn't hasn't been done, etc.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I wish I could work all these cases.
[SPEAKER_03]: I get probably one a day, more when co-case files are day-line or somebody in America's most wanted runs with me on it, the justice for everybody, just for everybody.
[SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, that's not gonna happen, but we can always ask for it.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I wish, pray for it.
[SPEAKER_03]: people get attention from years and years and years and years after they committed heinous murders, right, and the only reason anybody's even talking about these people or because they were affluent or, you know, the trial at the time was somewhat famous, and so
[SPEAKER_03]: that people loved riding the cartels of somebody else's shit, shit, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm talking about piecasters and these people and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: But the, on August of 20th, in 1989, I was 19 years old and in the army.
[SPEAKER_03]: Jose and Kitty Menendez were shot a total of 15 times in their Beverly Hills home by their two sons, Lyle and Eric.
[SPEAKER_03]: The two brothers quickly dumped their guns and then bought movie tickets for an alibi, before returning home and reporting the murders of their parents.
[SPEAKER_03]: Eric eventually confessed to his therapist who had taped the session and that information was given to the police by the therapist, Ms. Furs, and y'all know the rest of it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, stupid, these guys, you know, there's some whatever DA was still in all fist and they thought that, you know, they brought it up on a pill and they wanted to get out and I said, you're saying
[SPEAKER_03]: Lenny of people who are raped, who grow up and don't murder their parents.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm not saying they're dead, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: The maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
[SPEAKER_03]: But what I just think will remember is, you know, they blew him apart with a shotgun and shot bomb and she was still alive and had to go back out to their vehicle to get more shotgun shells loaded, come back through the door and finish executing her.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, all of the shit, you know, going to a movie and all that's one thing, but then, you know, they get limousines and from the record company and all that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the only reason we're still talking about them is because they, you know, I profile how profile rich people, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Why does a mass in this case get the same?
[SPEAKER_03]: attention, if you will, what I was having in the fight pour so far, why does Ms. Barbara Blunt, why, um, haily, you know, the cases that I take one, nobody else will take one because it's not sensational enough because they're, you know, not rich, they're not famous and whatever these assholes, just like Scott Peterson, saw another thing coming up in the news this week, Scott Peterson is
[SPEAKER_03]: He murdered his wife and baby.
[SPEAKER_03]: Period.
[SPEAKER_03]: Fuck them in as brothers and they think God they got a new DA in that turned down there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like now.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not pro.
[SPEAKER_03]: So with that being said, let's get down to some true cramps.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't even know what category to put this under.
[SPEAKER_03]: But we're going out to Chicago and then quarter to ABC station WLS to school custodians have been found shot dead.
[SPEAKER_03]: in the Chicago Elementary School.
[SPEAKER_03]: The 48-year-old woman is 63-year-old man were found Monday afternoon at Mark Twain Elementary School.
[SPEAKER_03]: Both had single gunshot wounds to the head.
[SPEAKER_03]: Both were in critical condition.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're taking the hospital.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, where they were pronounced dead.
[SPEAKER_03]: a weapon was recovered at the scene.
[SPEAKER_03]: A school principal Matthew Malene said, no students were in the building at the time.
[SPEAKER_03]: Malene didn't identify the victims, but said no matter to the school community, that members of our school community were impacted.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we will work to provide a digital information to school community as the best case for proceeds.
[SPEAKER_03]: And please know that we're taking this situation very seriously.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I fucking guess you are.
[SPEAKER_03]: The, I mean, custodians, you would think that's like the safest effort in an elementary school, unless it's a mass sheet and you would think that's the safest job in the world.
[SPEAKER_03]: But you got two of your custodians, single gunshot wounds they had, gun still found in the school and you got to tell the world that you, you, you're taking it serious.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I guess you should, but Tremaine Reeves, the executive vice president of the SCIU local 73, which represents custodial staff, said in the statement, the only facts we know right now are that two families have lost a loved one in our pairs with the families and the staff and the students and the families at Mark Twain Elementary School.
[SPEAKER_03]: It leaves a lot of speculizing, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: murder suicide, who knows, who the FNAs nowadays, had been anything.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, Carl Scow, Sam's club, then a member of both of them used to love it.
[SPEAKER_03]: When I was sending in, I hadn't had any money.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'd make our day days.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'd be there when they opened a 10 o'clock or whatever it was.
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, we'd do some shopping.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'd go around and get all this freebies.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I have free meatball or whatever, and some of it was really good.
[SPEAKER_03]: I send her back around the corner and get her and give me another one.
[SPEAKER_03]: But those were the days.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just these, you know, more people are turning till now than ever.
[SPEAKER_03]: Callscares and Sands because they're...
[SPEAKER_03]: the world we live in and everything's so super expensive.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think it's the pretty good jobs, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, there are big organizations and they invest in you in retirement, and you get medical and all that kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you think you have pretty good people.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, yes, some shitty ones all say.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we'll tell you about a guy named Tyler,
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, so, the, a wash-synth state, Kalsko employee is accused of fadly ramming a colleague with his car.
[SPEAKER_03]: And, guess what?
[SPEAKER_03]: He didn't deny it, and you know why he did it?
[SPEAKER_03]: Because he was angry.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, Talessorenson 22 is charged with second degree murder in the connection with the death of Jonathan Langdon who was 20 and Esquire wastes in on July 31st.
[SPEAKER_03]: According to the police, Swanson followed Langdon who was riding a motorcycle.
[SPEAKER_03]: He followed him out of the Costco parking lot, he swore of lanes and rammed his car into
[SPEAKER_03]: So I got in well for him.
[SPEAKER_03]: The collision calls laying them to be thrown from his vehicle into a sand post, and he was pronounced at the scene, and said, the defendant, however, continued on his way without hesitation.
[SPEAKER_03]: only stopping to make sure his vehicle was okay to drive home this corner of us war.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've already said they later spoke to Sorenson, he said he became jealous after seeing landing hug another coworker.
[SPEAKER_03]: Who the suspect claim?
[SPEAKER_03]: Was his ex girlfriend?
[SPEAKER_03]: So you go hit him with your car and he's on a motorcycle.
[SPEAKER_03]: The arrest warrant said that Swanson witnessed the hug and Texas friends, text it friends, that his blood is boiling, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: In Perth arrest warrant, the female coworker denied that she and source and had dated, and as she previously told him he was crossing boundaries.
[SPEAKER_03]: Following instance, source and told law enforcement that he followed Langdon at a high speed and struck him.
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, it was stupid, the solid roast one.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, as I said, he wanted to spook Langan and the he had meant to hit him, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's entered in a plea of not guilty.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about working at Calisco anymore, or that girl hugging anybody.
[SPEAKER_03]: because you will be getting hug in Brazil.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, love, love, love, justice, no matter how long it takes.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I saw the story on the knees and I wanted to report about it last week, but I had too many other stories to tell.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna tell you about Melissa, Missy, Taylor, Ellison, that's all I'm name, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: And she was murdered and found dead in her bedroom.
[SPEAKER_03]: And her 13-month-old daughter was left crying in the living room.
[SPEAKER_03]: Y'all, this is like 25 years ago, okay?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's it for years.
[SPEAKER_03]: Casey Allison said she felt like she had to shrink herself and bury her feelings about the death of her mother.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not the death of the murder of.
[SPEAKER_03]: about 25 years after her mother was killed.
[SPEAKER_03]: Those emotions were brought out when Cassie realized her own daughter was now the same age she was when her mother died.
[SPEAKER_03]: She said, it just took me understanding that this is a little Cassie.
[SPEAKER_03]: She said, I was seeing myself, but I'll check this out.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love, love, love, love this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, July the 8th, more than 38 years after her mother's killing Jacksonville, Florida, the Clay County Sheriff's Office, got a phone call.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now,
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm pretty sure when they got this call, they're like WTF, then it was going to be a one of the three-on-a-crazy person or what a heavy bubble.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll take the call and we'll look into it, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: So in July of 8, more than 38 years after her mom's murder in Jackson, Florida, the Clay County Sheriff's Office received a call from a man who said,
[SPEAKER_03]: He's wanted to come forward with some information on a co-case, all right.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're calling in and he's Gary Gallowayx, a 70-year-old man from Middleburg, Florida.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he came in and met with a Clay County sergeant and he said, hey, I want to set things straight on the death of 20-year-old Melissa Ellison and he said, I'm going to tell you what
[SPEAKER_03]: I hit her with a lobe while I was searching for money during a burglary.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, thirty eight years later.
[SPEAKER_03]: To go out, it's told Jackson will share salsa co-case unit detectors that in March, he came across an article, detailing Melissa Ellison's case, and realized he was responsible for
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I quite he realized, you know what, I was high, or I was drunk, and then I forgot about it for 38 years and you know, I'm glad he came forward, but he's full of shit.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so, and he said, he said he did it during the commission of a barter, which is an aggravated circumstance, and he kind of got the death pill, but
[SPEAKER_03]: he's charged a secondary murder and armed burglary with assault or battery and his attorney and the D.A.
[SPEAKER_03]: declined to comment.
[SPEAKER_03]: and he's being held without bond and they do all county jail no arrest for made during the initial investigation to Melissa's killing and but let me tell you about the night of her death all right the silver twenty eight nineteen eighty seven Melissa Ellison who was known as missy Taylor by our family in friends
[SPEAKER_03]: It was found dead in her bedroom, by her two roommates.
[SPEAKER_03]: The medical examiner's office ruled the manner of death as a homicide that calls the death to be blunt force trauma to the head.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, Galawix told detectives, he was looking for money, or items to sell to buy drugs.
[SPEAKER_03]: And Galawix lived only half a mile away from Melissa Allison.
[SPEAKER_03]: and he was arrested on suspicion of a separate barretory, the same day she was found dead.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, and I got their statement in the house, they looked into that, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what, he may have really been high, but it doesn't excuse because how much money do you think you'll give from a 20 year old?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's got two roommates.
[SPEAKER_03]: maybe he thought he was going to get a TV.
[SPEAKER_03]: So while I was who was 31 at the time, he broke into the home and he broke into a window y'all and he went into Melissa's bedroom and he found her line on the bed with her daughter Cassie.
[SPEAKER_03]: He found a log somewhere inside the house and he struck her one time on the head by her neck.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's wait to tell the technicals.
[SPEAKER_03]: He then picked Cassie up, placed her on the couch in the living room, and went back into the bedroom to look for money under her mattress, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: We've watched too many movies.
[SPEAKER_03]: In the rest report, the technicals and the graphics for counted details of the crime scene that were not released were not included in the article he saw earlier this year.
[SPEAKER_03]: When asked why he was confessing to the killing 38 years later, he said he was not aware that the victim had died until he saw the oracle about the case.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, KCL said she was the first to call the first call, the text is made the night after their rustic liewags.
[SPEAKER_03]: She said, it felt exactly how I was hoping that it would feel every time I imagine it would be possible.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, see all of this, these real people, moral shit, and they've been tell you about all the stories but these real people, this suffered, this baby, you never got to know our mama.
[SPEAKER_03]: Casey Allison's aunt's, Glenn the, a blindfold and sister you've been at, who were 17 and 15 at the time, were the next ones at the cops call.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I said, I knew him a heart, I knew in the back of my mind that this said,
[SPEAKER_03]: And this one was so sad when she had the phone call.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, they both recounted a hard eighth of their family went through after the sister's death.
[SPEAKER_03]: Said for years their parents would chase any lead they could find and bring it to the Jacksonal Sheriff's office to investigate, but nothing ever happened.
[SPEAKER_03]: said I carried my mother so many times down to the sheriff's office.
[SPEAKER_03]: I watched everything she went through and I had to be the strong one because I had to be there for her when my dad continued to work and I watched every disappointment.
[SPEAKER_03]: I watched every ounce of hope.
[SPEAKER_03]: In 2019, their mother Katherine Taylor died.
[SPEAKER_03]: not knowing what happened the night, Melissa was murdered.
[SPEAKER_03]: A year earlier, a friend of Bennett's submitted Melissa Ellison's case to project co-case, which is a nonprofit that provides support to families of unsolved homicide victims.
[SPEAKER_03]: The organization created a site for her story, but all the information the family had gathered over the years.
[SPEAKER_03]: In January of 2026, six months before he confessed to the killing, project co-case, and elicin's family were part of a news conference with the first coast crime stoppers.
[SPEAKER_03]: And they said, you've heard me say this a whole bunch of times, but they said, quartetions.
[SPEAKER_03]: Someone knows exactly what happened that night.
[SPEAKER_03]: Some one remembers a detail that has never been spoken.
[SPEAKER_03]: And this was the daughter Cassie said in the interview.
[SPEAKER_03]: Someone has lived with this knowledge for nearly four decades.
[SPEAKER_03]: And someone is listening to this right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: And those, this is about them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office credit that news conference failed in the investigation.
[SPEAKER_03]: and add in it some information that came for it, played a role in the recent wrestling July.
[SPEAKER_03]: They said, by his rest cannot feel the enormous void left in the hearts of Melissa Ellison's loved ones.
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope that this arrest is another step in the healing process.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's
[SPEAKER_03]: So, and it goes on to tell about her life and about 40 years, no answers, and, you know, they suffer, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, and you know what, on all our cases, someone does that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Miss Barbara Blunt, you damn well,
[SPEAKER_03]: on Madison's case, Stephanie Hibia, everybody, everybody's traceers, also in the veins.
[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody's cases, somebody knows, usually it's loose lips, things ships and all that, but on some of these cases, these some people have no reason to tell anything, because they know if they do they're going to get to death penalty.
[SPEAKER_03]: So we just sit back and move away.
[SPEAKER_03]: But continue calling your tips.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's time for F-to-up professionals.
[SPEAKER_03]: Y'all.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think about like one of these cases a year and I think about my good buddy Mike Parley, he drove a school bus with 30 something years up in Wisconsin, Abbott Hunter, great deed, a good friend of mine, and again, to guarantee he never made this mistake.
[SPEAKER_03]: And what happened was a little boy who was riding the bus his nine years old.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know what?
[SPEAKER_03]: You go to school.
[SPEAKER_03]: You got to get up early.
[SPEAKER_03]: You run around and recess and play and you probably bored us hell during school and then you got P and all that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And by the time you go in the bus, you might be able to sleep right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Listen on your own was and he fell asleep.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not usually a problem because they're gonna
[SPEAKER_03]: Wake you up when it's your bus stop, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, they didn't.
[SPEAKER_03]: And this boy woke up along where they park all the buses.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that is like...
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't even have any words for that, your bus driver, you have one job, make sure the kids get off.
[SPEAKER_03]: What happened when you pulled up to the stop, he just didn't notice it, no one got off.
[SPEAKER_03]: But anybody they said, this is unacceptable, shame on you, you should have known better.
[SPEAKER_03]: You should have practiced all say to protocols that were in place and it's caught in the bait.
[SPEAKER_03]: The nine year old's mom, the boy.
[SPEAKER_03]: So the New Jersey mother is searching for answers after her son ended up at a bus depot instead of a school after following a sleep on the school bus, so wanted a Chandler told a local WPVI that the incident happened on Thursday, August 6, but her nine-year-old son took the bus on his last day of summer school at Union Valley Elementary School in Blackwood, New Jersey.
[SPEAKER_03]: The mom says she received a call two and a half hours later from the Gloucester Township Public Schools district who also runs the bus service.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was informed that her son did not make it to school.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, maybe he always stayed up to late game and I was saying that school day evidently was the beginning of school day.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was pretty much what makes the worse.
[SPEAKER_03]: She said she eventually found out that he had fallen asleep on the bus and missed his stop.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I probably wouldn't play this for you.
[SPEAKER_04]: If a senator is a mother is demanding answers tonight.
[SPEAKER_04]: After she says her son was left on a school bus.
[SPEAKER_04]: Happened this morning as the nine year old was heading to summer school.
[SPEAKER_06]: His mother tells action news he fell asleep on the bus and that when he woke up, he found himself all alone parked in the bus depot.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is Thursday night, and the big story in action news is a scary day for a young boy in South Jersey.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, instead of going to camp, he found himself alone in a parking lot, thankfully a good Samaritan came along to rescue him.
[SPEAKER_06]: Action News reporter Amanda Pitt's live force in Blackwood with the emotional interview with the mom that you'll only see on action news, Amanda.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's right, Rick and Sharia.
[SPEAKER_05]: As you said, I spoke with that brave little boy and his mom today.
[SPEAKER_05]: They told me that he woke up inside this bus yard all alone, managed to get himself off of that steaming hot school bus was roaming around the parking lot.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thankfully, found an adult and made his way back to school with them.
[SPEAKER_05]: But his mom says this is unacceptable.
[SPEAKER_07]: traumatized.
[SPEAKER_05]: For Wanda Chandler and her nine-year-old son, this morning started off normal.
[SPEAKER_07]: So he walks down to the bus with one of his brothers and it was eight o'clock just like every other morning.
[SPEAKER_05]: except it wasn't.
[SPEAKER_05]: His older brother put him on the bus and two and a half hours later Chandler says she got a phone call from the Gloster Township Public Schools.
[SPEAKER_05]: Her son didn't make it for the sort of his last day of summer school at Union Valley Elementary School in Black Wood, New Jersey.
[SPEAKER_07]: He was just left asleep in a bus depot.
[SPEAKER_07]: Someone found him in the parking lot.
[SPEAKER_07]: Asked him his name and his age and took him inside and that's how he discovered his old
[SPEAKER_05]: the boy says he woke up inside an empty hot bus, figured out how to open the door, and then looks for help.
[SPEAKER_00]: During the war, I could go back, I was trying to be a big boy, so I just acted wave and normal.
[SPEAKER_05]: Chandler says she was told by school officials that child protective services were called, and her son was eventually taken to school.
[SPEAKER_05]: But she said she still doesn't have a timeline of just how long he was left on that bus and how long he was wandering around alone.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's nine years old, he has ADHD, so a lot of things that could have happened.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank God he's safe, of course, that's number one.
[SPEAKER_07]: But what if he didn't wake up?
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, what if he will walk out into that busty pill and just strange, man, what if he would have took him?
[SPEAKER_05]: And Chandler says her family is brand new to this school district.
[SPEAKER_05]: She hopes this incident wasn't too traumatizing for her son to take the bus again in the fall.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, I did reach out to this school district and the transportation office.
[SPEAKER_05]: They do run their own bus transportation system here in town.
[SPEAKER_05]: I am still waiting for a here call back from the superintendents administrative assistant or live in Black women jersey tonight.
[SPEAKER_05]: Amanda Pitt's Channel 6 action news.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow, I mean, count blessings, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: And a little baby saying, how's trying to be a big boy?
[SPEAKER_03]: Count your blessings, because she's absolutely right.
[SPEAKER_03]: What have been a pedophile or what have the kid who got to run over by another bus?
[SPEAKER_03]: And this huge, just probably 50 bus is parked in the shard.
[SPEAKER_03]: And anything can happen.
[SPEAKER_03]: used to care the baby and I'm pretty sure the school district is going to begin in some ice shit.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, it's time for family matters.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm glad we have the law, I'm glad we have cops do their jobs, I hate hate hate and this is
[SPEAKER_02]: arts with murder and child intake.
[SPEAKER_02]: This was Paul I just spoke with Corners Office who told me that they will not have a cause of death until next week as they are still gathering information.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now take a look.
[SPEAKER_02]: These are the three women charged with murder and child endangering.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're Caitlin Evans 38 years old, Nessa Keene 23 and Kirby Rankin 33 years old.
[SPEAKER_02]: All three appeared in court today for their arrangements.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also speaking at the hearings, a detective who responded to the scene, who said in his 21 years of law enforcement, this was one of the most disturbing examples of child abuse he had ever witnessed.
[SPEAKER_01]: The injuries that would indicate physical beatings, one foot injuries from a striking device on the face, torso back, upper and lower extremities, impact injuries to the back of the head.
[SPEAKER_01]: There was, through witness interviews and defend interviews with the defendants, we believe that there was, for the lack of a better term, some water torture involved.
[SPEAKER_01]: We believe the victim was choked underwater, held underwater for a long period of time.
[SPEAKER_01]: There was some burn torture involved.
[SPEAKER_02]: During that horrible description, you could hear the boy's other biological parent verbally upset in the gallery.
[SPEAKER_02]: They addressed the court saying, directly to the biological mother, I trusted you to care for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then to the judge, they kept him from me for the past nine months, overlies.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, police say that the three women live together in a duplex on Madison Road in Oakley with Evans Biological Sun, William Evans, that seven-year-old.
[SPEAKER_02]: Police were alerted to the address Thursday at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon after the boys' mother showed up at a nearby urgent care, dropping to the floor and claiming someone was attempting to kill her and her child had been kidnapped.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now when police went to their home, they found her two roommates and her dead 7-year-old son, police say that he had been duct taped and put in a closet.
[SPEAKER_02]: The prosecutors said that the three women were basically co-parenting the child, so they all had duty of care.
[SPEAKER_02]: The attorneys for Keene and the biological mother Evan said that they were not the ones who killed the boy.
[SPEAKER_02]: The attorney for the third woman, Ranking, asked for a psych evaluation.
[SPEAKER_02]: All three women today pleaded knock guilty.
[SPEAKER_03]: you know, the dad ever did and they were going to the custody, whatever and they kept him away for nine months, kept the dad away from, but you heard the detective describe water torture, barned torture, beatings, and they find this little baby it's duct tape,
[SPEAKER_03]: The death penalty is in height, it's right now, but I mean, come on, force injuries from striking devices on the face torso back and upper and lower attorneys, where where did they hit this baby and impact injuries to the back of the head?
[SPEAKER_03]: then the mom runs in and says our son has been kidnapped now, that's not true.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'll just use them like a pinata, and then, and, thankfully, this detective looks like he knows what he's doing, so, again, I mean, they're being held on 1.1 million dollar bond and stuff like that, but I just don't understand.
[SPEAKER_03]: how people like this don't care how long it takes all the pills and they get it rolling and they get it rolling but how in the hell do they not get to the off-pilty?
[SPEAKER_03]: or at least exactly what they gave that baby.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, y'all, there's lots of success programs.
[SPEAKER_03]: People get not a prison, and these groups had helped them.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, they've been a prison for a long time, and they've never seen a cell phone unless it was legal contraband, but they never had a bank account, stuff like that, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's lots of success towards the people and these programs that get out.
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know,
[SPEAKER_03]: the way less and the recidivism rate is for everybody else and they help them and they get out and they go on and live productive lives but then some of them don't and I'm going to tell you that story now but this motherfuckers have never got out of jail ever it's time to family matters
[SPEAKER_03]: going to Evansville in Indiana, and this cordon local WKRC, a convicted baby killer.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now this is, this is, I'm gonna end this home a good night right because it's, it's a good thing what happened, but this shouldn't never happen.
[SPEAKER_03]: convicted baby killer in Indiana has returned to prison just months after he was granted an early release.
[SPEAKER_03]: Why?
[SPEAKER_03]: And what world do you think is okay to let a baby killer out early?
[SPEAKER_03]: Jonathan Richardson was sentenced to serve 55 years in Indiana Department of Corrections in 2000.
[SPEAKER_03]: For the murder of his 11-month-old stepdaughter, his name was Faith Lee.
[SPEAKER_03]: He was released in March after serving just over 20 years.
[SPEAKER_03]: You get 55 years.
[SPEAKER_03]: For murdering, you're 11-month-old stepdaughter, and you get out in 20.
[SPEAKER_03]: That baby, that's nine, you didn't deserve a year per month.
[SPEAKER_03]: That the baby was alive.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, actually, you served almost 90, 50% of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: But...
[SPEAKER_03]: As what happened on July 15th, Rich Sim was booked in the Banda Bar County jail for parole violations.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they hadn't said how it violates his parole.
[SPEAKER_03]: But according to prison records, Rich Sim is once again in the end of the public crisis custody.
[SPEAKER_03]: And now his earliest post-release date is listed as August 15th, 2041.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, y'all have heard me say that the term is called when you just get swung, he got swung back in, because maybe he was just too sliced after 20 years and he got out and he was like, fuck it, I'm playing the role, I got to play, I got my full board, but if you saw the state and I'm not look shame in it or anything because I don't do that,
[SPEAKER_03]: This guy has his whole face, he, I'm looking, I've got a scribe to see.
[SPEAKER_03]: First of all, he's ball headed, it looks like a woman's wearing lipstick, has no eyebrows, has painted on eyebrows, but then his whole head in face is covered in tattoos, and even his chest that you can see is covered in tattoos.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you would think it was a woman if you didn't have it on that one telling you that he's a guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, this cat goes for the parole board and some geniuses there in the antiprode board.
[SPEAKER_03]: You better be glad you can kill another baby.
[SPEAKER_03]: But he, he both said it is him.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, I've taken anger management classes and I've gotten my GD and I've been a good boy and had been getting in trouble and don't you think you should give me 35 years off my sentence from murdering my 11 year old, a night 11 year old, 11 month old, stepped out or giving me the
[SPEAKER_03]: You had the game running all along.
[SPEAKER_03]: You knew you were going to get sworn.
[SPEAKER_03]: You knew you were going to continue to be a shithead.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then whatever it is you did, you didn't report, you felt you drug test, whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: And they, I bet the members of the pro board in Indiana now are thankful, or they should get on their hands and face and pray.
[SPEAKER_03]: in Thanksgiving, that he didn't murder another innocent baby.
[SPEAKER_03]: Fifty-five years from murdering love month old, like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why y'all don't need to be judged, I can promise you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because that wouldn't have never happened.
[SPEAKER_03]: Never.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to go out to Texas, I'm going to tell you about the game wardens.
[SPEAKER_03]: Y'all swim, someone isn't me, has killed out of Gators before, but they all got eaten.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right?
[SPEAKER_03]: It was for me.
[SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't for fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: And if you're going to shoot an animal and kill it,
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe you need to respect the animal and eat it, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: And well, in Lake Worf, Texas, Texas game warns are all for an $1,000 reward for information leading to the rest and conviction of whoever is illegally shooting alligators at the Fort Worf, Nature Center and Refuge on Lake Worf.
[SPEAKER_03]: So between May and July, 206, at least three alligators were shot at the Nature Refuge.
[SPEAKER_03]: to the animals were killed, and their carcasses were left to waste, and that's what pisses me off.
[SPEAKER_03]: While the third gate or some vibe, after game warms discovered it with a crossbow bolt, y'all that say, era, still lodging his body.
[SPEAKER_03]: And this said the reward is being offered through operation game thief, which is text wildlife crime stopper's program, and you can call in 879-24263, and report it, and
[SPEAKER_03]: Or you can now, you can tips can also be sent via text by sending the keyboard TX OGT followed by 847411 and you can remain anonymous.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look, it'll be an asshole and shoot an alligator right around drinking your beer, smoking your mouth, whatever it is you're doing, and spotlight them, y'all that they're not shooting these dudes during daylight hours.
[SPEAKER_03]: Spotlight them, shooting them, and you have no intention of eating it, feeding your family, or anything else, it still wouldn't be legal.
[SPEAKER_03]: But at least I don't know how it's alligator seasons, which I put it on.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what, I'm pretty unlucky when it comes to that kind of shit, because I put it in for a lottery for a dove hunt, didn't get it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Putting a lottery for alligator hunt this year, didn't get it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Putting a lottery for a bear hunt this year, didn't get it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever, these assholes are riding around just shooting them just to shoot them.
[SPEAKER_03]: So Don't do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I'll in hunting season's about to start.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're two weeks away from Dev season, which is just a parade lead for you to get together with our friends and cook and drinking in
[SPEAKER_03]: have a good time and get ready for both season, which opens less than a month later and then life season a month later.
[SPEAKER_03]: But anyway, don't be an asshole.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you kill it, eat it.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know that shocks a lot of y'all.
[SPEAKER_03]: But like Cindy says, about killing catcher to clean it, we don't need it.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's just a tree.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's all I got for today.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm
