at Blind Frog Ranch, has been charged with open murder.
Chad Olinger has been in jail at the Clark County
Detention Center in Las Vegas since his arrest in October

(00:20):
after being identified as a fugitive from another state. Friday
night at eleven twenty pm local time, correction officers on
routine rounds find Olinger's cell mate, Christopher Kelly, lying motionless
inside the cell. A quick check and a call for
help reveals the forty two year old was suffering from
an apparent blunt force injury and declared dead at the scene.

(00:43):
Identified as Kelly's cell mate, Olinger is taken into custody.
Investigators discover a physical altercation occurred between Kelly and Olinger
inside the cell, and Olinger is rebooked for open murder.
Chad Olinger It's been arrested multiple times over the last
few years and has a pension for turning simple traffic

(01:05):
violations into bigger crimes. Ollinger was pulled over for running
a red light in front of an unmarked police car
while riding his black Harley in Texas. When the officer
attempted to pull him over, Ollinger fled first on the bike,
then on foot. Instead of a simple ticket, Olandre ended
up in jail with multiple charges. More recently, Olinger was

(01:25):
in the Clark County Jail on a contempt charge. He
was set to be released in the coming weeks. Tis
the season for former reality show stars to end up
in jail. From Mystery at the blind Frog Ranch, we
now moved to Ohio for Neighbors with Benefits. At one
time in cable television history, meetings were held and a

(01:46):
show was green lid that would focus on the reality
of the swinging lifestyle in a suburban Ohio town. The
show was called Neighbors with Benefits. Don't be too surprised
if you don't remember the show. It lasted a little
long longer than Hello Larry or Joni Loveschauci. Just two
episodes were aired before the show was pulled by A
and E, even though several episodes were ready for broadcast.

(02:09):
Now the show is back in the spotlight as one
of the show's resident swingers. Tony McCallister, who flaunted his
suburban swinging lifestyle on cable, is now sitting in an
Ohio jail, accused of felony sex crimes involving a miner
and animals. The former reality star is in the Warren

(02:29):
County jail charged with pandering, obscenity, involving a miner, and
engaging in sexual conduct with animals. McCallister is accused of
uploading child sexual abuse material to a Google account. The
swinger is also charged with committing sexual acts involving two
dogs he owned at Arrayment. McAllister was hit with a
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond and remains in jail.

(02:53):
The arrest of McCallister has brought a and e some
unwanted attention to the failed docu series Neighbors with Benefits.
The show focusing on following married couples in an Ohio
suburb who openly lived the swinging lifestyle while raising kids,
holding jobs, and coaching Little League teams. The show was
yanked from screens after the second episode drew serious viewer backlash.

(03:15):
At the time of the show's production, McAllister and other
cast members claimed the show was going to challenge stereotypes
about the swinging lifestyle and would portray the swingers as
ordinary families with ordinary lives. At the time, the network
description of the cast was parents, professionals and neighbors navigating

(03:35):
unconventional relationships in a traditional setting. The description of the
show doesn't match up with the allegations outlined by prosecutors.
Investigators uncovered evidence tied to McAllister's online accounts during their investigation,
but authorities are not publicly stating how the investigation began
or when the alleged crimes occurred. Prosecutors have not said

(03:58):
if additional charges are expected or possible, but McAllister's charges
are serious felonies under Ohio law and could carry significant
prison time if he's convicted. Or Crime and Justice News next,
