Welcome to a harrowing episode of 'In Time Crime,' where we explore the chilling real-life murder case of Naomi Irion, a vibrant 18-year-old girl who fell victim to a depraved predator in March 2022.
Naomi, an affable young woman with an unquenchable love for music, had her life horrifically cut short one ordinary day, drastically transforming her from being a beacon of joviality to an unfortunate victim of malevolence. Our host, Robin Bagayoko, meticulously walks you through the chilling details of this case that began with an inexplicable abduction from a Walmart parking lot in Fernley, Nevada, leading to an exhaustive search, and sadly concluded with a grim discovery.
Through this poignant tale, the episode scrutinizes the subsequent investigation that pieced together the heinous act, revealing notable leads like the traces of a Chevy Silverado near the victim's abandoned vehicle, the escalating efforts of the FBI and the heartbreaking revelation of Naomi's demise.
Further, we delve into the ongoing trial that uncovered disturbing details posthumously, shedding light on the revolting depth of the criminal's depravity, including kidnapping, robbery, burglary, first-degree murder, and sexual assault.
The narrative takes a dark turn as we discuss the charged atmosphere within prisons, the vilification of certain criminals by their peers, and the eventual suicide of Naomi's murderer that ironically meted out a sort of poetic justice but left her loved ones denied the closure they longed for.
In tribute to Naomi, this episode calls for a shift in perspective within the domain of true crime narration, prompting the need to remember and respect victims more than their perpetrators. As we conclude, we lay emphasis on vigilance over fear, urging listeners to transform their consciousness of true crime into a catalyst for caution, vigilance and change.

(02:38):
Oh, my Lord, I hate it. You know, like I don't even know what to say.
Naomi was 18 when she got abducted, which we're going to discuss the case,
but she was 18 years old and I said was for a reason.
So basically, it's just terrible how this whole situation occurred.
(03:04):
It's just a very sad situation, a life taken for no reason. It's like,
it's two lives that are gone.
One of them was very insignificant at this point.
But one life was taken for no reason whatsoever.
None whatsoever. Just a great little, a great young lady, a very great young
(03:28):
lady doing things and going places.
And she was just taken for no reason, absolutely no reason whatsoever.
I mean, a lot of these murders and China abductions and rapes and all the stuff,
it's always very, very, it's like, why, why?
Why did that have to happen to these people? But like I said,
(03:52):
let's, let's just get into it. Okay.
So our case today is about Naomi Iron, Arion.
I'm sorry. It looks like iron and then it looks like, okay, it's Arion though.
It's I-R-I-O-N, Arion. on.
So let us give a little bit of description of Naomi, okay? Naomi moved across the world.
(04:17):
She was always with her father, who was always traveling to different countries,
basically, because he was a foreign expat.
So she was in France, she was in Russia, Germany, and South South Africa.
She was in all these places, basically just moving around with her father until
(04:40):
she returned to the United States.
When I guess, you know, she was an adult, she was 18 and decided I want to go back to America.
So that's what she did. You know, once you're an adult, you can make up your
own mind, make your own decisions. And so I guess her parents were like,
you know what, that's cool.
You're a grown woman now.
(05:00):
You're a woman now. Go ahead and go back to the United States if that's what you want to do.
So, but while she was in South Africa, she did attend American International
School of Johannesburg, where she graduated in 2021.
Okay, so at 18, she returned back to America. She had three younger brothers
(05:26):
who were adopted from Ukraine in 2018. Okay.
One of her, one of her brothers, however, was Shawn Michael, passed away in 2002.
In his infancy, doesn't say, you know, what he passed away from,
(05:47):
whether it was like SIDS or whatever the case may be, we're not aware of what it is.
Okay so she was very much
into music she was a big fan of music
so she played the ukulele she played the guitar and she was also a singer it
(06:09):
was said that her favorite color was the colors all the colors of the rainbow
so she would wear the rainbow on most of her attire like putting in on her jacket,
on her bags,
wearing rainbow socks.
And she was also well known for being very lively and positive.
(06:30):
She was always laughing and just spreading kindness, just the joy to the world
where they always say, light up the room. She would just light up the room.
Okay, so around 5 a.m. on the date that we're discussing today, March the 12th of 2022,
Naomi was parked in her vehicle in a Walmart parking lot in Fernley, Nevada.
(06:57):
Now, she was basically waiting for a shuttle that would be taking her to her job.
Like she, I guess she She has a job that's far off site.
And so, you know, she just kind of parks her car here and takes the shuttle
to where, you know, where her job is. And they come back when she's finished.
(07:18):
So it's it said that she was active on social media between 509 and 523.
OK. Oh, so in that Walmart parking lot, it seemed like she was the only mainly
like maybe just maybe there were employees that were parked,
you know, closer to the store.
And she was parked, you know, further in the back.
(07:39):
And it said that she was like alone, like by herself back there in the back.
So at around 5.24 a.m.
Is when we see a man approaching her car and then entering her car.
And then a minute later, we see that the vehicle is left from the parking lot
(08:01):
with the man driving the car.
Okay. It said that the man was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt,
dark pants or jeans and dark tennis shoes.
Okay. At the time of the disappearance, Naomi Iron was described.
(08:22):
She is 5'11 and her hair is dyed black and she has green eyes.
She was wearing a green shirt, gray sweater, dark boots, and gray sweatpants.
Okay, so that was on March 12th that she disappeared.
(08:44):
So on March 12th, 18-year-old Naomi Arion disappeared from a Walmart parking
lot in Furley, Nevada, like I said, And there was a man that approached the car.
And after that, no idea what happened to her. Okay.
So now on March 15, three days later, her four-door sedan, which I think they
(09:12):
said it was like a Mercury something.
It was found in an industrial area near Fernley police.
I'm sorry, near Fernley. Okay. Okay.
OK, so based on them, based on the police searching the area around the vehicle,
they were looking for a Chevy Silverado based on the tire track marks that were left in the mud.
(09:38):
So they decided to also search the vehicle itself to, you know,
do some forensic analysis, you know, get fingerprints, blood splatter evidence,
whatever the case may be.
They got into the vehicle to try to get you
know more more more forensic
evidence you know to help them find who is responsible for Naomi's disappearance
(10:05):
okay so they searched the area where the vehicle was of course and on March
the 28th was where they decided the FBI's decided
to announce an uh to offer a reward for anyone that had any information leading up to.
(10:26):
Finding where Naomi's located okay so this award was for ten thousand dollars
with for anybody who has any information that could help them to find her body
because at this point, all they have is the vehicle.
She's still nowhere to be found.
Okay. So on March the 29th, they got some information about a body in the rural
(10:51):
site of Church Hill County, and they went to go recover the body.
And later on, they confirmed that, yep, Yep, that body does belong to Naomi Arion.
So at this point, she is confirmed.
She's confirmed dead. Before finding a body, however, on March the 25th,
(11:15):
police did arrest 41-year-old Troy Driver, who.
And Driver had like a lengthy history of criminal activities, okay?
He has committed a lot of like juvenile crimes in his younger age of 17,
(11:37):
where he was involved with being an accomplice to murder and also armed robbery
at only 17 years old, okay? Very young.
He's now 41 years old. hold and like I said they have arrested him in connection
with the murder of Naomi Arion.
(12:00):
Okay so like I said they found her body on March the 29th right so when they
arrested him on the 25th they were just arresting like arresting him for kidnapping
because at the point at that at At that point on the 25th,
they've just known her to have disappeared,
to have been kidnapped, to have been abducted.
(12:20):
They had no idea that she was dead.
So initially, when they took him into custody, his bond was set at a 75,
not 75, I'm sorry, at $750,000.
Because he had only just the kidnapping charge. But later on,
of course, once they discovered her body, he was charged with murder,
(12:44):
first degree kidnapping.
Robbery, burglary of a motor vehicle and destruction of evidence for after her body was discovered.
OK, so after doing some research on the case, I believe they came to the conclusion that driver,
(13:06):
that's Troy, the kidnapper, the murderer,
the piece of crap.
He kidnapped her and shot her to death before burying her body to avoid leaving evidence.
So he thought once he kidnapped her and shot her and killed her,
you know, nobody would find out like what what is wrong with these people?
(13:30):
Do you not think you're going to get caught in this day and age?
The things that any little thing that you do, you're going to get caught.
I don't know why you'd be trying to kill somebody and thinking I could get away with this.
You know, you don't know this lady from nowhere or whatever the case may be.
You just decided to do this as for whatever reason, you're going to get caught.
(13:51):
I'm just letting you know, if you're planning, if you're listening to this audio
and you're planning to go murder, just know you're going to get caught.
You're not going to get away with it. Nothing you can do, no matter how brilliantly
you try to execute the situation, you're going to get caught.
So you might as well not even do it. Okay.
So on top of everything in July of 2022, So let's see, March, April, May, June, July.
(14:19):
So about four months later, about four months later,
they came to the conclusion that he was also a rapist because it turns out that
he had also sexually assaulted Naomi.
Naomi so you know
(14:40):
they said that it's it's concluded he had raped
her before killing her and in
November when they were continuing with the trial process they determined that
his mental state is he's not crazy he's very fit mentally to stand trial for
killing her okay so he has sexual assault now, including kidnapping,
(15:04):
all the other things I told you guys about before, you know,
the kidnapping charge, the robbery, the burglary, the first degree murder, all this stuff.
Sexual assault is also on top of it. So you know how they say they do rapists in prison, right?
So I'm thinking this man is really preparing for, he's preparing for some prison
(15:28):
justice, because one thing I can say about when they do go to prison,
they cannot stand. And I love that.
I don't like a criminal, but I love that they don't stand for a pedophile and
they don't stand for a rapist. Okay.
Once you're a pedophile or a rapist, once you get up in there,
they go make your life a living hell.
(15:49):
And I've heard of certain states making it so that the pedophiles can be separated
from the regular, you know, the regular prisoners.
And I'm like, why would you do that? Why are you trying to protect people that hurt children?
Like, why do we care? You know what I'm I'm saying? I don't care how nice and
(16:10):
kind and caring this person tends to look or tends to be or how regretful they were of a situation.
The thing is, at the time that you were hurting a child, that you were molesting
a child, that you were doing anything to a child, like you guys,
if you've been listening to me, you know how much I hate a pedophile,
(16:30):
how much I hate people that do do things to children.
Okay. So my number one thing is murder.
I wish all of them could be killed. I don't care how kind, how little of a,
whatever you did, you deserve to die.
You should not put your hand on a frigging child. You should not put your hand on a child.
(16:52):
Children are innocent. Children are innocent.
Okay. You should not do anything to a child.
That is my biggest thing when it comes to this old true crime situation.
I hate when people do things to children.
Okay. So like I said, Naomi's 18. She's practically like a, she literally just got into adulthood.
(17:15):
This man is 41. Okay. He is 20.
Before I mess up, let me do math real quick. Okay.
Yeah. Let me do math. Cause I was about to just spit out a number and yeah,
this is real fast thinking, but he was 23 years older than her. Ew.
Ew. Ew, you're ew. And then when I look at this man, you know what,
(17:40):
let me not take this personal.
Let me let me stick to this thing. So this man is so, he's, ugh.
Anyway, 23 years older than her, and he decided to rape her as well. Okay.
So like I said, on July of 2022, he was charged with sexual assault because
he was later found to have raped her.
(18:03):
Okay. And then, and then this is what really grinds my gears.
And I know that his, I know that her family is so upset.
You know, they're so upset as much as they probably don't want to come to court
and they They don't want to see the person that hurt their child,
(18:26):
their sister, their friend, their neighbor, their whatever relation people that
are coming to court to Naomi may have been.
I'm pretty sure they did not really want to deal with seeing the individual
that removed Naomi from this planet.
(18:47):
But in any case, they might have would have wanted to see him.
So that they know that once he goes to jail and all his, you know,
whatever, whatever determination of what his sentencing is, they would be satisfied with that.
You know, whether he was spending a life sentence, a death sentence,
(19:09):
whatever the case may be, they would have been OK with knowing that the person
that did something to Naomi was going to suffer for what she did for a long period of time.
Or immediately put to justice, right?
But this son of a bitch, this son of a bitch, this is July that he was then charged with rape.
(19:35):
And what I say, prison justice, when it comes to rape, they're going to mess you up.
OK, on August the 6th of 2023.
OK. On August, on August the 6th.
This man was found dead in his cell. OK.
(19:57):
Once a prison personnel was walking around checking, doing the routine inmate
check, make sure everybody's straight, even though nobody cares,
he was found dead because he committed suicide.
He committed suicide by asphyxiation.
So, however, it doesn't say whether he hung himself from something,
(20:21):
whether he kind of tied the pillowcase around his neck and just pulled at it
or just stifled himself with a pillow. It doesn't say.
It just says that he committed suicide by asphyxiation.
So he decided to remove himself from this planet.
The court system had nothing to do with his decision.
(20:43):
Decision he decided to put this upon himself
to take himself up out
the world and that's it
no final no lengthy
justice situation for him for Naomi because he decided to remove himself that
just shows you how much of a coward this man was you know how much of an asshole
(21:08):
he was He couldn't even just stay in jail and suffer the consequences of his
actions. He decided to clock out.
He decided to clock himself out.
Why couldn't you just clock yourself out before you had taken Naomi?
Why did you have to kill Naomi first and then clock out?
If you are okay with killing yourself, you should have killed yourself before
(21:31):
you killed an innocent person.
Just so you know, anybody that's considering to go kill somebody,
kill yourself first. That might be a better decision.
Unless you're willing to talk to somebody about it and talk yourself down from
thinking about hurting other people.
It's really bad to say, but in his case, he did this to himself.
(21:54):
He was willing to kill himself. He should have killed himself before he killed her. Okay.
It's only within a year that this whole situation happened. You should just
kill your damn self first before killing this innocent woman that did absolutely nothing to you.
Okay, you guys, so that's the end of the case for Naomi Arion.
(22:16):
Let us not forget, okay? Never forget the innocent. Never forget the victims.
These people are who we need to hold on to the longest. You know,
a lot of times when a lot of true crime shows talk about crimes and things of
that matter, they tend to have specific murderers that they talk about.
They talk about Ted Bundy, or they talk about John Wayne Gacy,
(22:42):
or they talk about Jeffrey Dahmer.
You know, those are some of the heavy hitters.
They tend to talk about these murderers. But do you remember the name of the victims?
Do you remember the name of the victims? Because those are who are important.
The people that they killed, those are who we need to focus on.
We should not give attention to any of these murderers because they are pieces of crap.
(23:06):
We need to focus on the people that they took before their time.
Okay, whether or not it was God's plan, they took them.
Okay, that's who we need to be focused on. And that's what I'm all about.
Let's focus on the victims. victims, okay? I'm going to be more focused on the
victims, the people that are hurt, the people that are being taken away for no reason.
(23:32):
That's my main focus. I don't give a shit about the murderers. I could care less.
Let's focus on the people that are being hurt.
Let's focus on the victims, okay? That's what it's all about.
That's what we need to do at this point when it comes to a true crime.
Let's focus on the people that matter.
These are the people that matter. The victims are the people that matter, not the murderers.
(23:56):
As interesting as it may seem that they killed Tom, Dick and Harry and Susan
and Sue, we need to be concerned about Tom, Dick and Harry and Susan and Sue.
OK, we need to we need to focus on that.

I'm sorry. It looks like iron and then it looks like, okay, it's Arion though.

So let us give a little bit of description of Naomi, okay? Naomi moved across the world.
(04:17):
She was always with her father, who was always traveling to different countries,
basically, because he was a foreign expat.
So she was in France, she was in Russia, Germany, and South South Africa.
She was in all these places, basically just moving around with her father until
(04:40):
she returned to the United States.
When I guess, you know, she was an adult, she was 18 and decided I want to go back to America.
So that's what she did. You know, once you're an adult, you can make up your

Like she, I guess she She has a job that's far off site.
And so, you know, she just kind of parks her car here and takes the shuttle
to where, you know, where her job is. And they come back when she's finished.
(07:18):
So it's it said that she was active on social media between 509 and 523.
OK. Oh, so in that Walmart parking lot, it seemed like she was the only mainly
like maybe just maybe there were employees that were parked,
you know, closer to the store.
And she was parked, you know, further in the back.
(07:39):
And it said that she was like alone, like by herself back there in the back.
So at around 5.24 a.m.
Is when we see a man approaching her car and then entering her car.
And then a minute later, we see that the vehicle is left from the parking lot
(08:01):
with the man driving the car.
Okay. It said that the man was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt,
dark pants or jeans and dark tennis shoes.
Okay. At the time of the disappearance, Naomi Iron was described.
(08:22):
She is 5'11 and her hair is dyed black and she has green eyes.
She was wearing a green shirt, gray sweater, dark boots, and gray sweatpants.
Okay, so that was on March 12th that she disappeared.
(08:44):
So on March 12th, 18-year-old Naomi Arion disappeared from a Walmart parking
lot in Furley, Nevada, like I said, And there was a man that approached the car.
And after that, no idea what happened to her. Okay.
So now on March 15, three days later, her four-door sedan, which I think they
(09:12):
said it was like a Mercury something.
It was found in an industrial area near Fernley police.
I'm sorry, near Fernley. Okay. Okay.
OK, so based on them, based on the police searching the area around the vehicle,
they were looking for a Chevy Silverado based on the tire track marks that were left in the mud.
(09:38):
So they decided to also search the vehicle itself to, you know,
do some forensic analysis, you know, get fingerprints, blood splatter evidence,
whatever the case may be.
They got into the vehicle to try to get you
know more more more forensic
evidence you know to help them find who is responsible for Naomi's disappearance
(10:05):
okay so they searched the area where the vehicle was of course and on March
the 28th was where they decided the FBI's decided
to announce an uh to offer a reward for anyone that had any information leading up to.
(10:26):
Finding where Naomi's located okay so this award was for ten thousand dollars
with for anybody who has any information that could help them to find her body
because at this point, all they have is the vehicle.
She's still nowhere to be found.
Okay. So on March the 29th, they got some information about a body in the rural
(10:51):
site of Church Hill County, and they went to go recover the body.
And later on, they confirmed that, yep, Yep, that body does belong to Naomi Arion.
So at this point, she is confirmed.
She's confirmed dead. Before finding a body, however, on March the 25th,
(11:15):
police did arrest 41-year-old Troy Driver, who.
And Driver had like a lengthy history of criminal activities, okay?
He has committed a lot of like juvenile crimes in his younger age of 17,
(11:37):
where he was involved with being an accomplice to murder and also armed robbery
at only 17 years old, okay? Very young.
He's now 41 years old. hold and like I said they have arrested him in connection
with the murder of Naomi Arion.
(12:00):
Okay so like I said they found her body on March the 29th right so when they
arrested him on the 25th they were just arresting like arresting him for kidnapping
because at the point at that at At that point on the 25th,
they've just known her to have disappeared,
to have been kidnapped, to have been abducted.
(12:20):
They had no idea that she was dead.
So initially, when they took him into custody, his bond was set at a 75,
not 75, I'm sorry, at $750,000.
Because he had only just the kidnapping charge. But later on,
of course, once they discovered her body, he was charged with murder,
(12:44):
first degree kidnapping.
Robbery, burglary of a motor vehicle and destruction of evidence for after her body was discovered.
OK, so after doing some research on the case, I believe they came to the conclusion that driver,
(13:06):
that's Troy, the kidnapper, the murderer,
the piece of crap.
He kidnapped her and shot her to death before burying her body to avoid leaving evidence.
So he thought once he kidnapped her and shot her and killed her,
you know, nobody would find out like what what is wrong with these people?
(13:30):
Do you not think you're going to get caught in this day and age?
The things that any little thing that you do, you're going to get caught.
I don't know why you'd be trying to kill somebody and thinking I could get away with this.
You know, you don't know this lady from nowhere or whatever the case may be.
You just decided to do this as for whatever reason, you're going to get caught.
(13:51):
I'm just letting you know, if you're planning, if you're listening to this audio
and you're planning to go murder, just know you're going to get caught.
You're not going to get away with it. Nothing you can do, no matter how brilliantly
you try to execute the situation, you're going to get caught.
So you might as well not even do it. Okay.
So on top of everything in July of 2022, So let's see, March, April, May, June, July.
(14:19):
So about four months later, about four months later,
they came to the conclusion that he was also a rapist because it turns out that
he had also sexually assaulted Naomi.
Naomi so you know
(14:40):
they said that it's it's concluded he had raped
her before killing her and in
November when they were continuing with the trial process they determined that
his mental state is he's not crazy he's very fit mentally to stand trial for
killing her okay so he has sexual assault now, including kidnapping,
(15:04):
all the other things I told you guys about before, you know,
the kidnapping charge, the robbery, the burglary, the first degree murder, all this stuff.
Sexual assault is also on top of it. So you know how they say they do rapists in prison, right?
So I'm thinking this man is really preparing for, he's preparing for some prison
(15:28):
justice, because one thing I can say about when they do go to prison,
they cannot stand. And I love that.
I don't like a criminal, but I love that they don't stand for a pedophile and
they don't stand for a rapist. Okay.
Once you're a pedophile or a rapist, once you get up in there,
they go make your life a living hell.
(15:49):
And I've heard of certain states making it so that the pedophiles can be separated
from the regular, you know, the regular prisoners.
And I'm like, why would you do that? Why are you trying to protect people that hurt children?
Like, why do we care? You know what I'm I'm saying? I don't care how nice and
(16:10):
kind and caring this person tends to look or tends to be or how regretful they were of a situation.
The thing is, at the time that you were hurting a child, that you were molesting
a child, that you were doing anything to a child, like you guys,
if you've been listening to me, you know how much I hate a pedophile,
(16:30):
how much I hate people that do do things to children.
Okay. So my number one thing is murder.
I wish all of them could be killed. I don't care how kind, how little of a,
whatever you did, you deserve to die.
You should not put your hand on a frigging child. You should not put your hand on a child.
(16:52):
Children are innocent. Children are innocent.
Okay. You should not do anything to a child.
That is my biggest thing when it comes to this old true crime situation.
I hate when people do things to children.
Okay. So like I said, Naomi's 18. She's practically like a, she literally just got into adulthood.
(17:15):
This man is 41. Okay. He is 20.
Before I mess up, let me do math real quick. Okay.
Yeah. Let me do math. Cause I was about to just spit out a number and yeah,
this is real fast thinking, but he was 23 years older than her. Ew.
Ew. Ew, you're ew. And then when I look at this man, you know what,
(17:40):
let me not take this personal.
Let me let me stick to this thing. So this man is so, he's, ugh.
Anyway, 23 years older than her, and he decided to rape her as well. Okay.
So like I said, on July of 2022, he was charged with sexual assault because
he was later found to have raped her.
(18:03):
Okay. And then, and then this is what really grinds my gears.
And I know that his, I know that her family is so upset.
You know, they're so upset as much as they probably don't want to come to court
and they They don't want to see the person that hurt their child,
(18:26):
their sister, their friend, their neighbor, their whatever relation people that
are coming to court to Naomi may have been.
I'm pretty sure they did not really want to deal with seeing the individual
that removed Naomi from this planet.
(18:47):
But in any case, they might have would have wanted to see him.
So that they know that once he goes to jail and all his, you know,
whatever, whatever determination of what his sentencing is, they would be satisfied with that.
You know, whether he was spending a life sentence, a death sentence,
(19:09):
whatever the case may be, they would have been OK with knowing that the person
that did something to Naomi was going to suffer for what she did for a long period of time.
Or immediately put to justice, right?
But this son of a bitch, this son of a bitch, this is July that he was then charged with rape.
(19:35):
And what I say, prison justice, when it comes to rape, they're going to mess you up.
OK, on August the 6th of 2023.
OK. On August, on August the 6th.
This man was found dead in his cell. OK.
(19:57):
Once a prison personnel was walking around checking, doing the routine inmate
check, make sure everybody's straight, even though nobody cares,
he was found dead because he committed suicide.
He committed suicide by asphyxiation.
So, however, it doesn't say whether he hung himself from something,
(20:21):
whether he kind of tied the pillowcase around his neck and just pulled at it
or just stifled himself with a pillow. It doesn't say.
It just says that he committed suicide by asphyxiation.
So he decided to remove himself from this planet.
The court system had nothing to do with his decision.
(20:43):
Decision he decided to put this upon himself
to take himself up out
the world and that's it
no final no lengthy
justice situation for him for Naomi because he decided to remove himself that
just shows you how much of a coward this man was you know how much of an asshole
(21:08):
he was He couldn't even just stay in jail and suffer the consequences of his
actions. He decided to clock out.
He decided to clock himself out.
Why couldn't you just clock yourself out before you had taken Naomi?
Why did you have to kill Naomi first and then clock out?
If you are okay with killing yourself, you should have killed yourself before
(21:31):
you killed an innocent person.
Just so you know, anybody that's considering to go kill somebody,
kill yourself first. That might be a better decision.
Unless you're willing to talk to somebody about it and talk yourself down from
thinking about hurting other people.
It's really bad to say, but in his case, he did this to himself.
(21:54):
He was willing to kill himself. He should have killed himself before he killed her. Okay.
It's only within a year that this whole situation happened. You should just
kill your damn self first before killing this innocent woman that did absolutely nothing to you.
Okay, you guys, so that's the end of the case for Naomi Arion.
(22:16):
Let us not forget, okay? Never forget the innocent. Never forget the victims.
These people are who we need to hold on to the longest. You know,
a lot of times when a lot of true crime shows talk about crimes and things of
that matter, they tend to have specific murderers that they talk about.
They talk about Ted Bundy, or they talk about John Wayne Gacy,
(22:42):
or they talk about Jeffrey Dahmer.
You know, those are some of the heavy hitters.
They tend to talk about these murderers. But do you remember the name of the victims?
Do you remember the name of the victims? Because those are who are important.
The people that they killed, those are who we need to focus on.
We should not give attention to any of these murderers because they are pieces of crap.
(23:06):
We need to focus on the people that they took before their time.
Okay, whether or not it was God's plan, they took them.
Okay, that's who we need to be focused on. And that's what I'm all about.
Let's focus on the victims. victims, okay? I'm going to be more focused on the
victims, the people that are hurt, the people that are being taken away for no reason.
(23:32):
That's my main focus. I don't give a shit about the murderers. I could care less.
Let's focus on the people that are being hurt.
Let's focus on the victims, okay? That's what it's all about.
That's what we need to do at this point when it comes to a true crime.
Let's focus on the people that matter.
These are the people that matter. The victims are the people that matter, not the murderers.
(23:56):
As interesting as it may seem that they killed Tom, Dick and Harry and Susan
and Sue, we need to be concerned about Tom, Dick and Harry and Susan and Sue.
OK, we need to we need to focus on that.
