True Crime Time for August 26, 2026 | Murder Disguised as Suicide, A Killer Escapes & Deputies Run Into the Fire
On today’s episode of True Crime Time, Woody opens with anticipation that a major development may finally be breaking in one of the cases the Real Life Real Crime community has been fighting for. Because this episode was recorded two days early, he can’t say exactly what has happened yet—but he tells the Lifers he hopes they’ve already heard the news by the time this episode drops. Woody also continues the call for What Happened to Madison, Justice for Hailey, Justice for Barbara Blount, and justice for every family still searching for answers.
For On This Day in Crime, Woody goes back to August 26, 1980, and the incredible bombing of Harvey’s Resort Hotel, where men posing as delivery workers rolled what appeared to be a copy machine into the hotel. Inside was an elaborate bomb containing approximately 1,000 pounds of dynamite and a ransom demand for $3 million. Attempts to disarm the device triggered an explosion that destroyed five stories of the hotel.
Then Woody shares a reminder that law enforcement’s responsibility doesn’t end when a suspect runs. In Texas, deputies pursued a 53-year-old theft suspect who fled from a Walmart, crashed his vehicle, and became trapped as the car burst into flames. The same deputies he had just run from risked their own lives to pull him from the burning vehicle before it exploded.
Next, one of Tennessee’s Most Wanted fugitives is captured in Georgia. Kenneth Spruell, wanted in connection with an alleged violent home invasion and attempted murder, was taken into custody after cooperation among Tennessee authorities, Fulton County deputies, federal task forces, and other agencies.
Woody then turns to a controversial juvenile murder sentence out of Washington. Caleb Prince Tramble, who was 15 at the time of the crime, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder after video allegedly showed him and another teenager confronting Messiah Washington inside an apartment elevator. The other teen opened fire, and prosecutors say Tramble then pulled his own gun and pointed it at the already-wounded victim. Woody questions the decision to keep Tramble in the juvenile system until age 25 and whether the sentence adequately recognizes the young man who lost his life.
In Family Matters, a Connecticut father faces criminal charges after his one-year-old son died after being left inside a pickup truck at the family’s strawberry farm. The father told police the baby had fallen asleep, that he left the air conditioning running, and that he was working when he later returned to find his child blue and unresponsive. Woody discusses the tragedy while questioning the $1 million bond and distinguishing the circumstances from other hot-car deaths the show has covered.
Then comes a case Woody simply cannot understand. A Virginia man who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in a murder case was housed at a state mental-health facility—but was later permitted a 48-hour unsupervised community release. Instead of returning, authorities say he boarded an international flight and fled the United States. Woody walks through the decisions that allowed the man to obtain a passport, leave the facility unsupervised, and ultimately escape overseas.
Finally, Woody examines the death of 37-year-old Lindsay Barnett in Colorado. Her husband, Patrick Theodore “Ted” Barnett, reportedly called 911 and claimed he found Lindsay dead in the shower with her throat cut and a knife nearby, suggesting she had taken her own life.
But investigators say the physical evidence told a very different story.
Police reportedly found substantial blood in the bedroom, a trail of blood leading toward the bathroom, numerous injuries on Lindsay’s body, and what appeared to be a defensive wou
[SPEAKER_01]: by the way, we're going to set a true cram time for Wednesday, August 26, 2026, and I'm Woody Overtain, blah, hope y'all, this one's getting recorded two days early.
[SPEAKER_01]: because that's big shit going on in a hope that is released by now and believe me when it gets released we're going live hopefully live from a location
[SPEAKER_01]: Hashtag, what happened in Madison, hashtag just for Haley, hashtag just for everybody, how about that?
[SPEAKER_01]: Miss Marble Blunt, and everybody else, and I meet so many people, you know, I know you get tired of hearing me say this.
[SPEAKER_01]: The other night, we went to the law enforcement for our school spawner, appreciation concert, our marches that played, you know, it's two out of fist two out for golf to cold home.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a huge event, and yeah, I'm thankful for all your life is out there, and I got stopped by so many different people in the crowd that we want to meet at work.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're their loved ones.
[SPEAKER_01]: case, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the top of the ones I get every day.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right?
[SPEAKER_01]: So you go out to a public venue and you get stop by a bunch of people and each one of their stores are heartbreaking.
[SPEAKER_01]: But but we will keep fighting and try out or bring some pleasure.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm hoping that if you haven't heard about now, I'm hoping you'll hear it today.
[SPEAKER_01]: But on this day, I was 26 and 1980
[SPEAKER_01]: Men claiming to bring in a copy machine, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, but you're probably gonna remember that as a big shit.
[SPEAKER_01]: I never could figure as fuckers out either, especially they got more advanced and when computers came out and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I remember putting one, you know, I'm pretty sure I'll put my ass when they could ask on the copy machine like everybody else has and scan that.
[SPEAKER_01]: but you were like, you had to make a hundred copies and you put it in a thing and I can never figure out how to do all that shit and the Tina Stafford was the absolute best to take a care mean.
[SPEAKER_01]: When I was in the tech that she made me a better to take to the hand with all that.
[SPEAKER_01]: stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you know what band is attacked with a shit ton of paperwork, but the they rolled in a copy machine, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you had to everybody had to have and these fuckers were big back then.
[SPEAKER_01]: You could, you know, damn near lay down and sleep on top of them.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're bringing in a copy machine.
[SPEAKER_01]: On the day of 1980, men claim to bring in a cop machine rolled in a deadly bomb to Harvey's resort hotel.
[SPEAKER_01]: The bomb included a note stating all the ways the bomb would detonate if it was taken apart.
[SPEAKER_01]: John Burgess, senior, who is the man who engineered the bomb, won it $3 million in exchange for instructions to disarm the bomb.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the hotel was evacuated and the bomb was set off.
[SPEAKER_01]: He nighting so he wouldn't full of shit, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: He nighting 1,000 pounds of dynamite and decimating five stories of the hotel.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Mr.
[SPEAKER_01]: Barge's senior was later arrested and convicted for the crime.
[SPEAKER_01]: Holy shit, what do you think?
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, nowadays,
[SPEAKER_01]: Nowadays they have bomb containment units like I don't know how you'd fed a cop machine inside of one of these things that these metal things that they blow up bombs inside of a shit like that or the Charles Andrews who retired like an admiral of some shit from the Navy he was EAD explosive an order to survive so that him and his guys could
[SPEAKER_01]: deconstructed this bomb and mutton not made it all but look if you're actually looking at it in your bomb guy I don't know what kind of bomb guy they have and I don't even say we're set the but if you look and you got a thousand pounds of down now so you rolling in a cop machine it weighs over a thousand pounds just by the dynamite
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure the insurance company would rather pay the three million dollar ransom than have them, then, you know, catch them later or want to get the money back or whatever they could do, then have the hotel below the F, but that's what happened when August 26th,
[SPEAKER_01]: high-all, you know, I've been in plenty plenty behook for seats.
[SPEAKER_01]: And, of course, a longer they go, the more dangerous they are, and they call as an injury, so the people and stuff like that, the more jacked up you get, but ultimately, um,
[SPEAKER_01]: you initiate the stop or you witness something to try to initiate the stop and these people run right well also you're responsible and we've done stories in the past about cops killing people that they shouldn't have been chasing and should like that well there's also the flips out of the coin when you catch them you're responsible for them all right and let me
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a video I showin' to be able to say that all.
[SPEAKER_04]: Come on, give away from the car!
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a video all this guy got in the vehicle pursuit, and ultimately he's not dell aren't hard, he crashed right, going to port a Texas in a theft at a port or Walmart turned into a high speed chase in a fiery crash Sunday, and they ended with the deputies pulling the suspect out of his burning car, and this
[SPEAKER_01]: The deputy said they were called to the store for a theft and progress, and they saw the suspect running on foot with lost prevention staff right behind him.
[SPEAKER_01]: They were in hot pursuit, y'all.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he jumped into a vehicle and took off, but he even ignored a patrol car's lights and sirens and sped away.
[SPEAKER_01]: The driver has identified a 53-year-old Michael B. Bowie.
[SPEAKER_01]: Spettles in Northbound, US-69, before exiting on the market road, 1485.
[SPEAKER_01]: That if he said he missed the turn, crossed the median, hit two signs and collied it with another vehicle.
[SPEAKER_01]: His car then jumped another car,
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's when you go from Chase Mode to save his life, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, deputies rush to get be bowie out, but the crash had jammed the driver's door shut.
[SPEAKER_01]: One deputy climbed in through the passenger side and unlocked the driver's door so the other deputies could pull big bowie free.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they'll guess what happened.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I've actually done that support guy or a car a couple years ago.
[SPEAKER_01]: Instead of doing Mississippi, the fire grows, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: And as the fire grew in the car, but again, to explode, deputies got big bowie clear,
[SPEAKER_01]: They moved their patrol cars back and then made room for the fire crews and paramaics to get in.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the Texas State Troopers are investing in the crash and deputy said, Bebawi has a history of arrest for theft and resistant arrest.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's now in the Montgomery County
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, if I'm going to be a career criminal, I'm going to aspire to steal something and it's worth something that you tell me the most expensive item in a Walmart that you can go in, put into hand, and run out of store with a hundred dollars.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're 50 to your old, and you had to figure it out, whatever you stole from one more last time wasn't enough to sustain your dope habit or whatever you got going on.
[SPEAKER_01]: But you better be glad these weren't after professionals because they could have left you to roast like more smell instead, they put their life and risk to pull you out because you're dumbass.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi y'all.
[SPEAKER_01]: go out to Tennessee.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, if I was going to be an outlaw, I wouldn't want to be like Jesse James and John Dillinger, Billy the Kid.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd want everybody in the world name.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a bad son of a bitch walking the face of Earth, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I would want to be most wanted.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, no matter what you do, you should always try to be the best at it, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to Tennessee.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to tell you
[SPEAKER_02]: Wanted to see his most wanted was captured in Fulton County today, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office announced the arrest of 36-year-old Kenneth Spool in hateful.
[SPEAKER_02]: Prosecutors in Tennessee accused Spool of a brutal home invasion and attempted murder.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fox says Rob Durianzo is at the live desk tonight and Rob you talked one-on-one with Sheriff Pat LeBot.
[SPEAKER_02]: What did he have to say about this bigger rest?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, they're Courtney Good evening to you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, Sheriff LeBaud told me this arrest to coordination between his officers, the U.S. Marshall service, along with federal Homeland Security agents, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, initially took them off.
[SPEAKER_06]: He could be in Roswell, but they ended up tracking him down in hate bill.
[SPEAKER_06]: Fulton County deputies have announced the arrest of one of Tennessee's most wanted share of Pat LeBotz as the task force took 36-year-old Kenneth Sproul into custody in hateville without incident.
[SPEAKER_06]: Curious in cuffs sitting on the back of a swatruck.
[SPEAKER_04]: Once we were told that Tennessee had really wanted their bad actors in our town, we began certainly to work together to really utilize known addresses and others to really comprehend the show.
[SPEAKER_06]: Prosecutors in Lawrence County, Tennessee accused the 36-year-old of a brutal home invasion and attempted murder.
[SPEAKER_06]: That ended him on Tennessee's most wanted list.
[SPEAKER_04]: Individuals attached to our U.S. Marshall's task force, I have to be our task force, I feel it really and alike, and so this is not the first time.
[SPEAKER_06]: Spurl faces charges that include first degree attempted murder and especially aggravated robbery.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's on top of a weapon's charge here in Fulton County.
[SPEAKER_04]: We have apprehended more in the last six years, nearly 30 individuals on the hour, top 10, most wanted list.
[SPEAKER_06]: The sheriff tells me within the county they have more than 3,000 to open arrest warrants that need to be executed.
[SPEAKER_04]: if you do bad things in our community and this is an extended community and we're going to come soon about you.
[SPEAKER_06]: With flock cameras under growing scrutiny I asked the sheriff if they use them to catch this guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Shear says response depends on how you use it.
[SPEAKER_04]: flock is a tool for good and so in many instances we have used it in the past.
[SPEAKER_04]: I won't devolve sure whether we use it or not that that's particular instance but again it's how you use the tools that we have.
[SPEAKER_06]: In jail record show, Sproul is still in Fulton County, custody tonight, he awaits extra-dition to Tennessee to answer for those charges.
[SPEAKER_06]: At the lab desk, Rob DeRienzo, box 5 news, Courtney.
[SPEAKER_06]: Rob, thanks.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know what, I'm really, really glad they called him, especially, especially aggravated some of the charges, especially aggravated some of another, I'll never heard of that, but evidently, he's a real shithead, the, oh, y'all, I was tripping out because I was listening to it and I thought they called it hate veal and I was like,
[SPEAKER_01]: the F would name their town hateville.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was hate, H-A-P, Papa, not Tango.
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's see what that is.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there any town named hateville in the United States?
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's an answer from Wikipedia.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now the the closest we got is hudderville.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's pretty fucked up, Nancy.
[SPEAKER_01]: part of my friends.
[SPEAKER_01]: I so there you have it.
[SPEAKER_01]: No hate bills.
[SPEAKER_01]: No world live in a place named hateville.
[SPEAKER_01]: And good job to those guys.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm catching that guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: This next one, I'm not going to do it under Eptop family or whatever, but this is really kind of a scarp, disturbing case in the guys to what goes on in the world today.
[SPEAKER_01]: They have two teenagers who are accused of fatally shooting in 18-year-old man in the elevator of a Tacoma apartment building, and they played the guilty to this, and I
[SPEAKER_01]: the course nobody wants to get a president, no family member wants to get a president, all able to sit with this head, so.
[SPEAKER_03]: In which the different act, this was a tragic case in which the defendant and three accomplices confronted the deceased victim and an elevator in the victims apartment complex.
[SPEAKER_03]: The parties do firmly believe that the exceptional sentence down proposal is appropriate.
[SPEAKER_03]: in the JR system until age 25.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what we're asking your honor to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your honor?
[SPEAKER_00]: I respectfully ask that she sent us leave him for the rehabilitation.
[SPEAKER_00]: I ask that she recognized he looks documented disabilities can provide medical access to education, equipment, health, treatment, autism, and porn services, vocational training, and structure he has always needed.
[SPEAKER_00]: As his mother, I have spent years.
[SPEAKER_00]: But for my son, I was with a tinkiness down the side and hold him accountable, encourage him, and support him every step of the way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Got Thomas when they were changed.
[SPEAKER_00]: Before you is not just a case number, before you is a son who was deeply loved by many people, that is amazing.
[SPEAKER_00]: When I look at Caleb, I don't just see the mistakes that brought us here.
[SPEAKER_00]: I still see a little boy who runs with another feet because he wanted to ease her pain.
[SPEAKER_00]: I still see the child who leaves heroes never gave up on people.
[SPEAKER_00]: Today I asked the court not to give up on him either.
[SPEAKER_00]: Please allow you to sit in some of your own grubble and re-hitching in the possibility of his young man's life in featured.
[SPEAKER_00]: Can we come later then?
[SPEAKER_00]: The worst moment of his life.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much.
[SPEAKER_05]: I thought a lot about the joint recommendation and what is a program here.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have two attorneys in front of me who are incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, and I do believe that the result that they came up with is the appropriate result for this
[SPEAKER_05]: prior to being transferred to an old prison, I think is the best thing for Caleb and meets requirements for justice.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Mr. Caleb, you know, keep them in juvenile prisons to the 25, you know what that makes them, OGs.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yet, you got kids as young as the 11, go on to these juvenile facilities.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you think a 25-year-old's gonna do to an 11-year-old.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're worried about this teenager who murdered the one thing you didn't hear anything about is the murdered victim.
[SPEAKER_01]: He got shot to death in his apartment elevator.
[SPEAKER_01]: you want to keep them out of the adult system.
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess I get that, but he's going to be 25 and have access to all the kids who may really actually have a shot of redemption.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, anyway, he got sentenced to, to be confined until his, and what they're calling, juvenile rehabilitation, they don't like to call it president, or what it is, it's president.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the, was to tell you what happened real quick.
[SPEAKER_01]: Deputy Prosecutor and Attorney Heather Demaine said four teenagers confronted the victim, Messiah, Washington, and the elevator was a public complex.
[SPEAKER_01]: And video evidence showed Caleb Prince Tramble, who was then 15.
[SPEAKER_01]: And another 15-year-old boy, both had guns tucked in their jackets.
[SPEAKER_01]: Without provocation, the other 15-year-old
[SPEAKER_01]: The main set is a victim light dial on the floor, video showed tremble in pull-to-gun and pointed at Washington.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the state was confident that he too shot at the victim based on the victim's reaction after Trambo pointed his gun, you know, this all in video, y'all in video, doesn't lie.
[SPEAKER_01]: Trambo is now 16-plegged guilty to use his secondary martyr, a first-degree unlawful possession firearm for the this martyr, which happened back in February 22nd, it's 2025.
[SPEAKER_01]: The the judge gave him a 10-year sentence for credit for times are This is this you know, I wasn't allowed me to do it in his statement.
[SPEAKER_01]: The kid Tramble said he believed he was acting himself to fence.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now if you can get up there you want a plea bargain for me and you go fucking
[SPEAKER_01]: So the punishment was recommended about prosecutors and the defense and it was below the standards and some range about 11 to 19 years in prison, whatever, hug a thug, I'm pretty sure you're 15 years old.
[SPEAKER_01]: do that multiple times inside it and closed elevator and after your boy shoots the guy twice for no reason and he goes down and you take yours out and you execute him even if you didn't hit him you didn't you certainly didn't help him now allow that had to be yeah well he gets to stay in juvenile prison
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, well, let's know how that works out and about another six years because you're gonna get out and kill somebody else.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's time for family matters.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we do these stories about kids being left and vehicles and done one in a minute, but at this one, I mean, it's tragic, like all of them are, but this one, I think.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think it has a really special aspect to it, I say the father of a one-year-old who died after being left alone in a vehicle at an east winds of strawberry farm or Saturday, told police the child had fallen asleep and he left the air conditioner on inside the pickup truck while he was working.
[SPEAKER_01]: Kevin Pell was 47, the South Windsor was arrested, Saturday and charged with risk of injury to minor.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was released on a $1 million bond.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we got people, serial killers who don't give $1 million bonds.
[SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, it doesn't speak the fact that this baby died, but $1 million bond,
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, the, um, they said the calls and manner of the child's death remain under investigation, and this court said all of such chief medical examiner.
[SPEAKER_01]: These ones are police determined that the climbing inside the vehicle was not habitable for the child, due to the location of the vehicle and the outside temperature.
[SPEAKER_01]: Police did not say how long the child was in the vehicle except that it was for an extended period of time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Pale call for help at 224 p.m. when he went to check on the sign after leaving Malone in the vehicle park at the strawberry farm that he cones on rot bill raid.
[SPEAKER_01]: He found the child was blue and not breathing.
[SPEAKER_01]: When officers arrived they found pill given the baby CPR, child was taken to Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford, where he was pronounced dead, the local meteorologist said the hot temperature at Bradley Airport, one of his locks was 81 degrees on Saturday.
[SPEAKER_01]: at that temperature, or cars, interior, will reach 115 degrees and roughly 30 minutes, and they said it was sunny throughout the day.
[SPEAKER_01]: So...
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know man, I mean, that's a horrible, horrible thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: At least this guy wasn't in a bar room or doing whatever he had.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, he was negligent.
[SPEAKER_01]: It should have done it.
[SPEAKER_01]: He left the AC on, went to pick strawberries to make a living, comes back in your worst nightmares in there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Your baby is dead, basically roasted alive.
[SPEAKER_01]: But you haven't eaten all of mine?
[SPEAKER_01]: run, find out in Connecticut, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Connecticut doesn't have the death penalty.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he doesn't, I don't think the status is ours.
[SPEAKER_01]: The death penalty, who's on stories like dudes went in strip clubs and left their kids were roasted death in a car or came home and fell asleep on the couch, drunk after having sex and then realized the next day 12 hours later, the kids were roasted death in the car.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, those people named all the bond.
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't understand that.
[SPEAKER_01]: This dude was trying to make a dollar.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they didn't have any babysitters.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, it's f'd up either way.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: We all sometimes tell you stories about, and I think I did one earlier today, or yesterday, sure.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, where is there's somewhat a question of mental capacity when people commit these crimes, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: The,
[SPEAKER_01]: right here in this parish where I live is the state hospital for the criminally insane and that's where if they even have a question about, you've committed a crime, you know, they send it to you and the friends that experts and tell whether or not you're mentally fit to stand trial and all that bullshit and you would like to think that
[SPEAKER_01]: You just can't play crazy and get away with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, by standards tests and one, when someone commits a crime like that, is if, do they try to hide it?
[SPEAKER_01]: Do they run?
[SPEAKER_01]: Do they move the body?
[SPEAKER_01]: Do they do whatever?
[SPEAKER_01]: And then try to crime crazy?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's, you're not.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you, it was wrong enough for you to, you know, do something to hide it or run or whatever.
[SPEAKER_01]: But some people get it, and I'm sure sometimes that people there are valuing them get it wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I don't tell you about a guy who played insanity and he, he got, he did not get sent to prison because he played insanity, all right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, they, he been,
[SPEAKER_03]: You ran like a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: During a 48 hour unsupervised release from this mental hospital, you'll never make me understand that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay?
[SPEAKER_01]: You are not guilty about reason to sanity, but we're going to give you a 48 hour unsupervised
[SPEAKER_01]: So in October of 2022, I mean, I'm going to try this cat's name.
[SPEAKER_01]: The first name is ABD L-O-I, the absolutely whatever the second name is, Tosh, pull of those, you know, a 34 years old.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was found not guilty by a reason of insanity in a Fairfax County, Virginia court.
[SPEAKER_01]: Four, the murder of his landlord, Muhammad Hamishin.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now Tasha Puguzoda was arrested in charge with 2nd of remarter in 2019 after police arrived at the scene and found him covered in blood.
[SPEAKER_01]: and not guilty about reason to sanity plea, acknowledges that the suspect committed the crime, but claims that they did not have the mental faculty to understand its impact or consequences.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they should be reminded to a mental facility rather than a prison.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now Tasha Poodle's Oda was committed to the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services after being acquitted
[SPEAKER_01]: He was taken to the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute for inpatient treatment in late 2020.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Mental Health Facility allows patients to go on un-supervised community business for up to 48 hours.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mr. Touchapolo's out of this is what he over to the assumption and I'm pretty sure you just eff that up for everybody else is coming through.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, what were those that equate?
[SPEAKER_01]: You're so crazy that you get all for second-degree murder, but they don't give you a two-day pass before you come into the state hospital, unsupervised.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just going out there and how yourself a good time, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we know you're great, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: When the course already said so, and you're coming to be in our hospital, but now we're going to be
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, guess what?
[SPEAKER_01]: Tula Poozoda received his authorization for the temporary release on July 6th, and he was directed to stay at an apartment made available through the Fairfax permanent support of housing program.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was ordered to return to whatever that long asking the hospital is on July 8th.
[SPEAKER_01]: But guess what?
[SPEAKER_01]: soon determined that on the Eden of the July 6th, Tusha Pula Zoda fled the U.S. and traveled to Tauhakeistan.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this dude, right, he knows he's got 48 hours to get away.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they said the Quitit murderer had boarded an international flight at Washington Dollars International Airport
[SPEAKER_01]: there he helped on another plane to do Shabane talking hockey stand hey what the fuck they said the tickets were purchased by another person in Tushu Pulu Zota's name and though it is unclear who helped him escape yeah well but they'd better find out just a week before he was granted
[SPEAKER_01]: The circuit court of Fairfax County had determined that Tushapolo Zota was still mentally ill and remained in need of in-pacing the hospitalization, okay, but you let him out 48 hours.
[SPEAKER_01]: They said that the quit, the quit team being too simple as other remains under the jurisdiction of this court and shall not be released for custody and inpatient hospitalization without further order of this court.
[SPEAKER_01]: somebody up that up.
[SPEAKER_01]: They said the next here in the review to support those others need for inpatient hospitalization, the schedule for June of 17, 20, 27.
[SPEAKER_01]: Until then, he was meant to remain custody.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, somebody dropped the ball.
[SPEAKER_01]: But
[SPEAKER_01]: to Shippolozota was still allowed to leave his mental hospital for 48 hours because he was still technically in the legal custody of the state's department of behavioral health and whatever development of services.
