So again, support, support, support because we're trying to

(02:32):
I want to tell everyone I am sorry for the high 80s I had
between the episodes from getting to 19 and starting now.
I was starting to give up on this because I was not getting
any growth or support. But now I am back at it.
Y'all have my full attention. I am dedicated to be a focus on
(02:55):
this. I even kind of neglected my
political podcast which I probably will pick up sooner or
later after I get this off the ground.
But right now this is my baby and this is what I want to focus
on. With that being stated, without
further ado, we are going to talk about this case here that
(03:19):
I've been wanting to do for a minute and I decided I want to
do a different because so many people know about this case
already that our true crime fansand some people really don't.
So I'm going to start back. We're going to start with the
beginning of the crime scene where the body is found and then
(03:42):
we are going to lead up to how it began and then we'll go to
the aftermath from there. So this story is about 3
players, main players in this that I need you guys to take
heed on. The first main player is Malik
(04:03):
Kearney. Malik Kearney is a Sergeant in
the United States Army. He is the charming, wondering
eye Playboy that everybody in the Army enjoys to be around.
He is charismatic, he is charming, he is know how to say
(04:26):
the right things. He has the look.
He's like every woman's fantasy when they first step into the
military and everything that a man wants to be while he is in a
position of authority in the military.
(04:49):
The next player is going to be is his beautiful young wife
which her name is Carlin Ramirez.
Carlin Ramirez is a gorgeous young girl who just got into the
military not so long ago. See this nice gorgeous Sergeant
(05:16):
and has falling in love. When I said falling in love,
yes, she is falling in love. That's her Boo, that's her
husband, that's her everything. This man is her soul mate.
And then we have one more play, the one that everybody know, the
(05:38):
side chick who I'm going to callher Delgado.
Now that's her last name. I want to say her first name is
Donna, but we'll get to her fullname when we get there.
But right now I'm going to respectfully call her Delgado.
She's the side chick ride or die, you know.
I mean, she the one that whenever the main dude, the main
(06:02):
wife is not doing her part, the first thing she go, he going to
do would be like, yo BAE, I needyou to come through, get me
right And you know it. She is going to get him right
with whatever he needs her to do.
So those are the players. So we are going to start at the
(06:22):
crime scene. This is in August 2015.
Now, August 2015 is a horrible time for this family, especially
of the Ramirez family because they're beautiful.
Beautiful daughter, sister, niece, cousin is found deceased
(06:50):
in her home with the baby in thecrib.
Just a cry. Now everybody in this
neighborhood is shocked because this don't happen here.
OK? Now meanwhile, while that is
going on, this U.S. military mother is deceased.
The husband is like 500 miles away, you know what I mean, at
(07:11):
the station, at the military base in South Carolina, Fort
Jackson, you know, doing his military obligations.
And even when this all first happened, his alibis appears to
be pretty solid. But they're going to find out it
ain't as solid as it is. But we'll talk about that later.
(07:33):
Now, the whole reason that this actually even took place, the
motive, which again, I'm tellingyou this a little early, is
because Malik just didn't want to be married anymore.
OK? Malik got to the point that he
felt like that his life would bebetter off being back being a
(07:58):
bachelor all right? Because he knew in his mind that
he had done so much dirt to his woman that she was going to cut
him loose anyway because she wasstarting not to feel like her
boob was really being her, goingto be her soul mate.
(08:19):
So he decided well shit, if I can't leave out of this thing,
you know by her terms, I'm goingto leave out of it on my term.
OK, now let's talk about why people usually do this because I
know a lot of people ask, well why do these people always want
to get rid of their spouse? It's always because of three
(08:39):
things. It's either because they are in
love with someone else. It's either because it's money
or 9 times out of 10, like I tell everybody else, love, money
and you guessed it, jealousy. Is that what it is?
Love, money, jealousy. And always, it always comes with
those three things why they wantto get rid of their spouses.
(09:03):
The love part is they love somebody else and the person
they in love with them gave theman ultimatum.
I ain't going to be the side person.
You need to step up and need to choose between me and them.
So they feel like they can't choose.
So they just get rid of 1. Then you got what I just said
before money. Well, if I leave out of this
relationship, I got to give halfof this half of that, oh, I got
(09:24):
insurance policy out on them, get rid of them.
That's not least is jealousy. You want to get rid of me now
because you can't stand me. And then they find out that that
spouse is moving on, then bump that I can't get beat, which you
no one else will. So that's just what it is.
It's always those three. It's never ever anything in
between. It's always those three things.
(09:47):
So anyway, as I was saying, theydon't care if they going to
spend their life in prison. But you got to understand how
did the beautiful Carla Ramirez arrive from the end of her life
to begin with? Well we got to go all the way
back to Del Rio, TX. That's what Carla Ramirez was
(10:10):
born. And let me tell you, the world
was ready for this woman when she came in on April 10th, 1991.
Now, when she came in this world, as she was growing up in
Derero, Texas, she loved huntingand riding horses.
This girl was also an incredibleathlete.
(10:32):
She was in volleyball, basketball, cross country.
Her mother, Susan Ramirez, even told not only the Maryland
Gazette but other news outlets and newspapers that she was a
risk taker. All right, She didn't let nobody
put fear in her or it have any kind of fear.
(10:56):
Now, she was also the type of person that she liked to take on
and tackle a lot of things, all right, no matter how tough they
were, OK. Not to mention she like to take
her time and analyze things too and do what she got to do.
But anyway, Carlin graduated high school in 2009.
(11:17):
After that, she attended the University of Houston,
University of Houston, because she wanted to study criminal
justice. And at the time, what I've heard
from what I researched, she wanted to be a cop.
About three years until her degree, she decided that she
wanted to do something a little bit more challenging.
She wanted to serve her country and she wanted to go into U.S.
(11:37):
Army. So she joined the Army in
February of 2013. Now she was assigned to a lot of
several bases in that time frame.
Let me discuss some of these bases.
She was stationed at Camp Humphreys in South Korea.
(11:59):
Let's see here. Now during that time when she
got to Camp Humphreys, which I think that was her first duty
station, that's when she met theman that will set all of this
crazy shit into motion and that is Malik Curry.
(12:21):
That is right. He was an Army Sergeant first
class. Now if you don't know what an
Army Sergeant first class is, that is a fix in the Army.
So basically a fix in the Army is got as much power as A7 or
sometimes even like AE8 in the Navy.
(12:41):
These people are ahead of a lot of operations.
They have a lot of people under them.
They like a they are like a major NCO as they call a non
commissioned officer in the army, meaning that they got a
lot of power. Same thing with a chief in the
Navy that is an NCO. They got in even a first class
too and a lot of times E sixes and up.
(13:02):
They have power and they have a lot of pool and a lot of
influence. So basically the enlisted note
when you talk to even know EA and you better be on your PS and
QS because they don't put their time, you know what I mean?
So anyway, Malik enlisted in theArmy in 2000, all right?
(13:25):
So that means right after high school he went in.
So Malik is not that far along, not that much older than me that
just telling you my true age andI'm going to leave it at that.
Now, according to the Army Times, Kearney worked as a
chemical, biological radiology and a nuclear specialist.
(13:49):
Now you want to know what that means?
That means that he was a brilliant ass dude.
He was very intelligent, OK? He wanted them dudes that not
only is he a leader, but you know, I'm saying he know about
probably about all different types of strategies to use these
(14:09):
chemicals to be efficient in a time of war.
So yeah, he he yes, that's, that's a very, very, very
intelligent guy. That means he get out the he was
the guy out the Army at the timeof 20 years.
He would probably work somewherelike Lockheed Martin or any of
these major military facilities and have a great career on a
(14:33):
second, on a second try and probably be making over 130 a
145 grand. Not to mention his pension of
being retired. You can't make this up.
Oh, yeah. He also can still get to go to
school too if he want to furtherhis education.
So he got it going on right now.Throughout his career, this man
(14:54):
earned a lot of awards. And I'm going to break it down
to what they mean. Army committed or Army
Commendation medals, good conduct medals.
Now let me tell you about Army conditional medals.
Army Commendation medals is justlike our name in the Navy, the
Navy, the achievement medal. It just basically said, hey,
(15:16):
you're a kick ass guy. You did everything that you are
supposed to and went above and beyond and we want to appreciate
you. So that's what that means.
No more, no less. Now good conduct medals, that
means you was one that never gotin any kind of UCMJ type of
(15:38):
situation. You've never been to Captain's
Mass all of your first term in the military.
So that means every four years you ain't never got in no
trouble. I got like three of them.
Damn things, OK, because I don'tknow two of them.
Because I was in there for eightyears, so I know all right now.
(15:58):
You also get what you call a campaign stars.
Campaign stars mean that that's how many times that you did your
tours or or whatever that you are supposed to be assigned to
on missions and the Global War on Terrorism Extraditionary
Medal means everybody got that after 911.
Now the campaign stars if I'm wrong all in my military
(16:22):
personnel out there or former veterans, please correct me in
the comments because that's whatI think campaign stars is.
I'm quite sure I may be wrong and I am open for you guys to
tell me when I'm wrong so you ain't got to jump up there and
be an ass. Now with that being said he was
very much a very decorated solidsoldier.
(16:44):
Now, according to her sister Roxanna Ramirez, Carly, she fell
completely head over heels. Former link her sister them say
every time they talk to her, shewas talking about somebody.
Oh my God, girl, I'm working with this Sergeant that's over
me. He is gorgeous.
(17:05):
He is this, he is that and he isyou know, how young girls is
that young like that from a little town ain't never seen
nothing like this. You know, all this man with all
this power with all this charisma.
She was going crazy, you know, Imean, but she was Malik
subordinate. That means she's under Malik in
(17:28):
his in his command, on his command and probably in his
squad. And that type of relationship is
frowned upon the military. And let me tell you why it is in
the military, even in the Navy too.
If let's say for instance, a chief that's an E7 or, or, or E6
(17:49):
or whatever sees a young girl orthey're a person that they're
mentoring and they're E3 or E4, that is considered
fraternization because you are over that person.
You ain't got no business dealing with them like that
because you over them. And that could cause a conflict
of interest. Now, let's say for instance,
(18:10):
y'all in two different locationsand not in each other's unit.
And you know, y'all ain't even in each other's field, but y'all
find each other, got to deal with each other.
Just that the third then you know, they'll excuse it because
OK, y'all met because y'all ain't in two.
Y'all ain't in the same command,y'all in different things.
(18:30):
It's cool, fine, whatever. So that's how that usually works
and that's how you can it's definitely is is looked at now
than what it was back in the day.
Because see, back in the day they kind of let it slide if he
was a popular person, but now with so many things going on and
grooming and stuff like that, they really don't harp down on
(18:52):
it. What I was told by people that's
in the military now, they reallyhave not relaxed on that
anymore. Them days is over.
So anyway, Carlin got pregnant months after they started
dating. So somewhere along the line they
decided to start dating. And I guess he said I don't give
a who I want her. She won't mean let's do this and
(19:13):
was saying that she was excited to have a baby because this
young girl had survived cervicalcancer and was told she would
probably not be able to have children.
So she like, all right, this is great.
And then, you know, she's in love.
You know, she got this dude. That's a great guy.
You know, I'm saying he got all this swag.
(19:34):
He like everything she ever think of.
So anyway, two weeks before she was scheduled to take leave to
go home, which we call in the military leave when I was in
there. That means you get your little
time, put your little paperwork in, say you want to leave and
use that time and they file it and use it.
She got offered a job for National Security Agency, the
(19:57):
NS. So again, this is like an
expertise of being able to do high tech security for the for
the US. Now she was stationed at Fort
Meade in Maryland. So call and move.
To Fort Meade in 2015. Now again she's a private first
(20:18):
class and information technologyspecialist with Fort Meade 700
and Military Intelligent Battalion.
So what that means she is a private first class?
She is basically E3. She's not even an E4 year, but
she's about to be there now. When she gets to be AE4, she'll
(20:39):
be considered a corporal or likein the Marines or a specialist.
But right now, this is what she is.
She is AE now. Either way it goes.
While this is going down, while she's in Maryland.
Catalia Veil Kearney was born inApril that year.
(21:00):
Now Carlene. Carlene and Malik got married a
few months later. Now, again, like I said, Malik
was stationed at Fort Jackson, SC, so they are part most of the
time. Now, according to one of the
people that knew them, retired Sergeant first Class League Roy
McDaniels, he said they got married because of their
(21:23):
rankings and they had to quote, put something on paper because
it was not allowed anymore. So that's when they started
cracking down. So they got grandfathered in and
to get grandfathered in on that,you had to put down on paper
that y'all was actually married.Could be no, that my baby Mama
or that my aunt, the military don't play there.
You better get married and y'allbetter make it work.
(21:45):
Y'all took the time to play around.
Y'all better take the time to hold it down.
So anyway, but to save themselves from violating this
rule that had just came into place.
So they said that she loved him for that, but they said Malik's
most intentions, possibly from the people that know him was to
make sure he covered his ass because he had a mess with this
(22:09):
girl and while she was his support.
But anyway, while this is going on, they had this.
It was tough on this girl because here she is newly
married. Her husband is 500 miles away
from her. This man is in South Carolina on
one of the. Biggest Army military training
bases Fort Jackson. And here she is out here in
(22:30):
Maryland in Fort Meade. So this is crazy.
You know what I'm saying? Like she like feeling like him.
You know, I don't get to see this man.
Now we are. I don't know what I want to do
this. This is crazy.
I'm in Fort. Meade and he's there now.
Anyway. Usually the military sees this
(22:52):
and usually try most of the time.
Tried the station, the spouse and the husband near each other.
Now most cases I've seen when I was in the Navy, like let's say
they had this going on the, the,the senior person out of the
relationship, like him could actually ask, hey, you know, I
(23:13):
know y'all got me at Fort Jackson, but can I get a early
trend early? You know, I'm saying duty
station change due to, you know,life circumstances.
Can I get transferred over therenear my wife at Fort Meade?
I can teach over there. Or if I can't get to Fort Meade,
what another, another base that's not too far away.
(23:34):
So I don't be two hours and three hours away from my wife.
I might be an hour away, an hourand a half, you know what I'm
saying? Versus 500 miles, bro, that's a
hell of a drive. That's like 7-8 hours away from
the wife. So anyway, Carlin and Malik had
only been married for five weeksat the time of her murder, and
(23:55):
they had never lived together, and a lot of people did not like
that at all. Now, Carla's sister Roxanna
lived with her for a few months because she was lonely, but then
Roxanna had to move later moved back to Texas.
Now, at the time of her death, Carla was living with a woman
(24:17):
named Maurice Marissa, who was also a young mother.
And, you know, they were supporting each other.
Now, I do not know Marissa was in the military, but I just know
that she was living with her. So after two weeks of the
marriage, now, since I had to put that extra tidbit, Malik
drove to Marilyn because he's trying to reconcile.
(24:39):
But Carlin obtained A restraining order that
prohibited him from contacting her now.
The reason was is that she was getting tired of feeling lonely
and she felt like he just was not giving her enough attention.
So they said that during the time that they worked together
(25:04):
in each other's presence to someone, he came through the
visit or she came through the visit.
I don't know how that happened, but he got very, very physical
when she started talking about she wanted to leave him to the
point that he scared. He basically was like, Nah,
(25:25):
ain't no damn way. You ain't gonna tell me when I'm
gonna leave. Now this reconciliation part, I
think it was because he knew with his contact order it could
make him look real bad in the military because the military
get a whim of you putting hands on your spouse.
That's automatic UCMJ. He didn't want to do that.
(25:47):
This man been in since 2015 years.
You had a spotless record and now you lose your cool and with
your wife because you don't likeher calling you out on your BS
Oh no, I got to get this corrected.
You know, So that's what he was trying to do.
He was trying to do damage control.
That reconciliation wasn't really genuine.
(26:09):
It was a damage control thing. You know, let me go ahead on,
let me tell her I'm sorry, I love her and it should be OK.
That's what that was. So anyway, K, Caitlin or Carla
wasn't hearing it. She was like, you know, this
ain't it working. You doing your thing.
(26:30):
I don't know what you doing. And when you do come up here and
I'm trying to explain to you howlonely I feel, you want to be
irrational. I'm out.
So anyway, she started telling people that she don't know how
he really feel about her. She don't feel like he is into
the mirror like she is and she just feel like that maybe he
(26:52):
just did this just to protect yourself after all because of
his job title and things of thatnature.
So on August the 25th, 2015, this is the day again that Carla
Ramirez was found shot to death in her town home in serving
(27:13):
Maryland. Now her roommate was.
Out of the state at the time. And then Carla was found
upstairs of a home. Now someone put a gun against
her body and fired three shots, one in her side, 2 in her chest.
Colin's four month old baby was found unharmed next to her body,
(27:34):
which is so so fucked up. At first patrol officers thought
the baby had been killed, but apparently the baby was just
sleeping. God bro, you got to be a very
sick and twisted individual to kill a woman that has a newborn
baby and put said baby beside her cold dead body and just
(28:02):
leave it there like it just spilt juice that's.
Just Oh my God bro. You can't make this shit up so
either way it goes. When the officers getting there,
they see that Carly is not wearing pants and her underwear
was pulled down. Around her ankles.
Looking like a sexual assault now, she had some bruises and
(28:26):
scratches, but her autopsy foundthat she was not sexually
assaulted and there was no sign of force.
Entry or robbery? In the townhouse.
And the murder weapon was missing.
So either way it goes, seeing all this, it makes you wonder
what really happened. So maintenance workers, they
called the police that morning because they saw two dogs
(28:48):
running loose through the community.
And the workers tried to catch one of the dogs, but it ran
through an open glass door. The workers went to the front of
the unit and received no answer,so they called the police.
A neighbor who asked not to be identified.
They told the Maryland Gazette that her husband was out walking
(29:09):
around 6:00 AM that morning and a small dog kept following him.
The dog scratched his leg and ran towards Colin's apartment
unit. The dog ran back and forth
between the man and the unit. He felt as though the dog was
asking for help, so he knocked on the door next to Carlin's
unit. But the rather said it wasn't
their dog and he didn't try the next door because Carla's unit
(29:32):
because he needed to go home to help his kids get ready for
school. So that's the thing about dogs,
man. Dogs are amazing.
They actually know when something's wrong.
And I have a small dog loving todeath.
Shout out the River. That's what I made my logo off
of. And he's very intelligent.
(29:52):
River can tell you in a heartbeat that something's going
wrong or something's wrong because he has a way of alerting
us that, hey, something's wrong here, you need to check on it.
Especially when my wife is really sick.
He knows how to let us know. Then come in and check on.
So anyway, at first, you know, people probably going to be
(30:14):
suspicious about this guy walking and talking about his
dog walking back and forth. But anyway, so Carlin, I called
her mother and sister hours before she was killed.
Now, Roxanne Carlin's sister told Crime Watch date.
She said I don't know what is wrong, but I don't feel right.
I don't feel safe. Do you think my baby knows I
love? Her, I'm like, why are you
(30:36):
talking like this? What happened?
And Carlin said I don't know. I can't tell you.
I don't know. So basically I've always said
that when people are in a dangerous situation and they
sits have a sixth sense that this situation is not turning
(30:56):
out for the better, that's what they start doing.
They start questioning things and the loyalty of.
People around them. Because they got that sixth
sense that. Something's not right.
Anyway, she just kept telling him she didn't know.
And so they just left it at. So Carla's mother, Susan, also
told Crime Daily that she told me she was having a panic
(31:19):
attack. And I said, Carla, what's wrong?
She said, I can't discuss it. It's nothing I can discuss with
you. And so her mother automatically
thought, well, it must be work because she was in the NSA.
And you know, that's confidential because you can't
really talk about certain things.
And so that's why she brushed itoff.
Well, Roxanne said she couldn't sleep that night, so she texted
(31:45):
Carlin. Her phone indicated that she
read the text, but she didn't reply.
Susan called Carlin several times and she didn't answer.
So I think it was eerie to them that she saw the text and didn't
reply. That really kind of bugged it.
So anyway, so now Malik was a person of interest because the
police learned Carlin was playing a divorce, but initial
(32:08):
evidence confirmed he was in South Carolina around the time
of the murder. His Netflix account and cell
phone activity supported. So Malik's like, yo, man, I love
that girl. That was my wife, you know, I
know I put my hands on her because I was frustrated, but
damn y'all, I love that girl, man.
(32:29):
That girl was everything to me, you know, and look at his
browser history, you know, looking like he played the Xbox,
PlayStation, know the usual whatyoung guys do in the military
that that is in his age bracket that's in their early 30s now.
Anyway, even though all that is happening, a lot of people's
like, but you know, maybe he could have had it just plain to
(32:52):
make us think that he was looking at Netflix or could he
have somebody else watching his Netflix.
But either way was pretty good, was airtight.
I mean, now doing his interview with the police, like I see that
man cried like a real champion. I'll talk about Oscar worth.
(33:13):
This man was in that interview saying, see, what's the love of
my life? Oh my God, bro, I don't know
why. Why me?
Jesus, Why my girl, my wife, youknow, he's into it.
He's slobbering, you know, the whole damn, he really grieving
that guy now because of that grieving husband, you know, the
(33:36):
police was like, you know, OK, man, you know, he he's a good
guy. You know, maybe you know, maybe
they had it upside down, but it seemed like he's genuine.
He's upset that his wife is is passed on now while this is
going on and everything else. Malik told the police that he
forgave Carolyn for her relationship with another
(34:00):
soldier before they got married.So basically that's another red
flag to me. I don't know why do you guys do
this? They'll get so emotionally, I
love my wife and then they'll just bring up she cheated on me
with someone else. But I forgave her because I
loved her so much. While you are in still smacking
(34:21):
cheeks. But we'll get to that later,
right? OK.
So anyway, he also gave the police his bank records, DNA and
permission to search his department and car.
His neighbor said that his vehicle didn't hadn't left the
complex. So Malik got everybody said, oh,
he's right there. So he's pretty confident.
He's confident that he's also very cooperative and
(34:44):
forthcoming. Hayden gave up his DNA and he's
saying, hey, feel free to just search whatever you want to
search. He basically acting like he's
not guilty, right? And that's why you expect from
someone that's not guilty. Take my DNA, do what you gotta
do, player. So with investigators, he gave
up his phone, which proved he wasn't at Carlin's home when she
(35:06):
was killed. That's kind of what we were
talking about earlier in there. So, you know, his cell phone
activity, everything matching upso far.
So anyway, Carlin's family took custody the other day, and when
they did, Malik relocated to Texas to spend more time with
his daughter. So he basically told Fort
Jackson got the military behind him to relocate.
(35:28):
You know, they going to stand behind they solid soldier.
Yeah, we got you. We got you, soldier.
So now one of the things that was kind of a relevant
revelation was that Malik had told the police that, you know,
she had a relationship with another soldier before they got
married. They were still together.
(35:49):
They just hadn't got married. But he said, you know what, I
forgave her. So he's saying, you know, I'm a
big person. I'm just still trying to, you
know, I forgave my wife. His side of the story.
But unfortunately, Carlin is nota is not a lie to tell her
truth. So we just going to have to
(36:11):
leave it at there. But anyway, it would take over a
year for the police to make an arrest in Carlin's case.
And that is because the investigators took a closer look
at Malik phone 'cause they saw that he had been calling and
texting a woman name. That's right, here we go, the
(36:33):
side bitch Dolores Delgado. Now this is Malik's girlfriend
side chick. I've been waiting to be his main
girl since day one. So anyway, they discovered that
Dolores was at his apartment complex in South Carolina at the
(36:56):
time of Carla's murder. So now that wasn't even talked
about earlier in the. When he had the interview with
the police. So that's a little bit strange.
So anyway the detective decided you know what we need to travel
(37:17):
to Florida where Dolores lived and talk about this information
about her kicking it with Malik current now Dolores admitted
yeah I was there she said her Malik were both that department
the whole night. You know, it's easy to get over
someone you know cheating on youwhen you up here clapping them
(37:41):
cheeks. Yeah, already cheating.
And, you know, trying to get over the being away from your
spouse because your heart is growing fondant for the person
that is not. But anyway, the police find out
that he lied about his side chick and that already put him
under suspicion. So now he's back at being a
(38:02):
person of injury. So even though he had
cooperated, so that guy investigated saying, all right,
we got to find out after findingout what type of good that they
had, See, there was a 357 revolver that was involved in
the actual murder of Miss CarlinRamiri.
(38:24):
And they was like, well, let's see about my man's if he has a
357 revolver. Well, you know, they looked at
Malik. Malik ain't got no 357 revolver.
He didn't purchase it or anything like that.
But then it was like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a
minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
(38:45):
If I was going to try to hurt myspouse and I needed that type of
weapon, who could I trust to getit for me?
And nobody would never suspect. Let's check the savage.
And they did. That's right.
Miss Dolores had recently purchased a 357 Revolve.
(39:09):
Now that 357 revolve if you ain't never shot one, I'm shot
one. Dumb boys got some kick and you
got to have a strong arm, strongwrist.
You know I mean forearm and wrist to knock that out.
You know I mean because it will kick you back.
So anyway, they also looked at Malik phone again.
(39:35):
They reanalyzing everything again extra.
Set of eyes, there was a lot of text message that was deleted
out of Malik phone that was hardfor the.
Police to retrieve. And just was not making sense.
But Dolores still had them on hers and they were discussing,
you guessed it, gas mileage on the night Carlin died.
(39:58):
And bank records showed that theDolores purchased 2 gas cans
before the murder. Hold up, wait a minute. 2 gas
cans. Wait a minute, you told me
Dolores, that you was at home with my man's here, Malik
Kearney, and y'all was, you know, letting him clap them
cheeks, see like he wasn't clapping nothing but his gums
(40:21):
and maybe some gum while not being at home because it looks
mighty suspect that he was supposed to be with you all
night long and y'all supposed tobe having this intimate romantic
night but y'all doing text messages about gas mileage and
gas cans. I digress.
Even though they don't want no financial records and you don't
(40:42):
want to get caught on surveillance video, you don't
stop. So you either going to wear a
diaper or you going to get a bunch of Gatorade bottles and
you going to pee in them so you don't have to stop.
I mean, that's just what people would do if you're on a mission
to try to commit the perfect crime, right?
(41:04):
But you don't want to get caught.
So right before the murder on October 6th, 15 on.
So after they got all this evidence against them on October
the 6th, 2015, 35 year old MalikKearney and 31 year old Dolores
Delgado were arrested in Texas. That's right, they was arrested
(41:30):
in Texas. You can't make this up.
Two days earlier, they were indicted by a Maryland federal
grand jury for Interstate travelto commit domestic violence,
including in death, in connection with the death of
Carla Ramirez, according to the Baltimore Sun.
(41:51):
Now again, what frustrated me about this case is this man
could have walked away and stillhad his best life and let me
pick you this dog the the Lawrence Delgado was actually a
nurse, a registered nurse in Florida.
Real talk. So he.
(42:12):
Had a chick that still had money.
He didn't have to go out like. This, you can't make this up.
So anyway, it goes best, attorney Rod Rosenstein said, as
quoted by the Baltimore Sun. The indictment alleges that
Malik Kearney and Dolores Delgado conspired to murder
(42:33):
Carlin Ramirez. And according to the indictment,
Malik traveled from South Carolina to Maryland on August
the 24th, 2015 to kill Carlin. And on October 18, 2016, federal
agent Jonathan Schaefer testified that Malik shot Carlin
(42:54):
on Monday, August 24th. Now I know y'all are asking me,
but Joel, why is the FBI of all this?
Because he is in the Army. No, it's not just because it
let. Me help you out.
The FBI passed the law years agothat once you decide to go from
one state to another to commit the crime, that is called
(43:18):
Interstate, what they call it Interstate commerce basically.
So basically it becomes a federal investigation.
So the FBI can swoop in and be like, yo states listen, listen,
calm down. I got this.
He doing fed time now. Thing about fed time is, is that
once the feds get involved you got to do 80% of your time.
(43:38):
That's just what it is. You 85% of your time and in this
case you about to find out how much time a man's got.
So they said this is what reallywent down.
Malik finished work early afternoon of the 24th.
Oh, and then he drove the Marilyn.
He entered Carla's home with that spare key and he brandished
(43:59):
the 357 caliber revolver. Carlin attempt to calm him down
but told Malik she didn't want to see him again.
So Malik shot Carlin three times.
She was shot at point blank range and to reduce the sound,
Malik took off her pants and pulled down to reduce yeah, the
point bank range to reduce the sound.
(44:19):
Then he went and he took off herpants and pulled down her
underwear to stay to sexual assault.
And then he put his own. Baby in her arms and left to
see. You can't make this so wow.
So anyway, the baby was also left for 8 hours before somebody
discovered them the next morning.
So yeah, you got to be a pretty much a dirtbag for that to
(44:41):
happen. And the gas can they brought,
they made sure that they could last for 500 miles to get there
and back. Now they said allegedly that he
drove a little Ford Fiesta. Now that is a small ass car.
Or something similar to like a Ford Fiesta for him to be able
to pull this off. Now, Doris Diego, Diego at the
(45:06):
time remained in South Carolina while this was going on.
He was traveling back and she was playing with his cell phone
that he left behind. So that way she could be able to
stream of what was going on on the shows and make it look like
that he. Was home the whole time.
Till he remained back into SouthCarolina the next following
(45:27):
morning. But anyway, at the end of the
hearing, a federal judge orderedMalik to be transferred to
Maryland to await a trial. After the arrest, the Dolores
ex-boyfriend called the police and reported that he helped the
dispose of a gun in Florida. Boy, I tell you, she must have
thought that that that little thing downstairs had enough
(45:50):
power for him not to say nothing.
He thought he could be that he could be the missing murder
weapon, and he had thrown a gun into the water and disposed of
the evidence. So with that being stated, that
the day he said that, Dolores called him and basically said,
hey, I need your help. I need you to get rid of this
(46:10):
gun and I need you to get rid ofsome other stuff, but don't ask
no questions. And he was like, yeah, OK, I
could do that. You know I help you out and then
he did what she asked until you find out why she did.
Listen, I don't know why he did it.
Maybe he still had an attachmentfor but I don't want none of my
exes to ever call me to just this to throw away nothing.
(46:32):
I'm like, Nah, you better find some other sucker.
But that's why you were 8 four reason why you even calling my
phone. So anyway, after he agreed to
cooperate with the investigators, he was able not
to get any kind of time done to get any time.
So basically he came out smelling like a rose.
(46:54):
So on August 8th of 2015, the Lords Iago the knew the writing
was on the wall and pleaded guilty in the federal court for
Interstate travel to commit domestic violence resulting in a
death. She took that plea deal.
So federal prosecutors would notseek the delta penalty and see
some and and we see that, you know, time and time again.
(47:16):
So anyway, with her doing that, you know, she had a pro she had
to probably testify against Malik.
So you know that that right there was the only way she was
able to get that plea deal. So anyway Malik Kearney trial
started in 2018 and when his July 16th 2018 and when his
(47:38):
trial started it was prosecuted by the sister US Attorney James
Warren and the defense was led by Quasi Hawks.
The prosecutors told the jury that both Malik and Carlin were
unfaithful to each other during their short marriage because
they lived in separate States and Carlin had obtained A
protective order against a husband in summer 2015.
(47:58):
They also told the jury that Malik planned it out the murder
when Carlin tried to leave because he was upset that she
was going to end it and it wasn't on his turn.
Now I know people ask, well how did side chick felt about this?
Well, the side chick probably was pissed that he still had
feelings for his wife, but she sure was on board when he was
(48:20):
talking about getting rid of her.
Now, two men testified about being involved with Carlin days
before she was killed. Assistant US Attorney Work also
said that Malik was furious whenhe learned that Carlin was
having an affair. He texted her over 900 times in
two days. Now why he both be planning for
(48:40):
Delgado to come up and work him out.
He worried about who working hiswife out.
Can't make this up. He went from please to threats.
It's like text message, like 900texts text messages in a 2 day
period. Man I don't think I even sent my
(49:01):
wife 900 text messages in a yearand we live together and we even
had arguments. I don't think I've done that
yet. Nope.
Nope. Nope, not 900 slot.
But hey man, that's what happenswhen you are obsessed with
someone, right? So anyway, Rosanna Rodriguez,
she also or Carla's sister, testified that Malik called her
(49:22):
about a month before the murder and he said, according to
WBALTV, if my sister could not be with him, she would not be
with anyone else. She has to be with me.
She's only going to be with me. Listen, I'd have told y'all,
y'all be thinking that that shitbe turning y'all on.
When you hear men and women say that if I can't be with you,
(49:44):
nobody can have you, you better run because that is not good
behavior. That is dangerous, very
dangerous. That is obsession.
I'm I love my wife, but I'm not that obsessed with my wife.
I would be hurt with her being with someone else, but I'm not
going to kill her for leaving me.
That's dumb. It's the mother of my children.
What would that? But anyway, they tried to
(50:06):
portray on the. Defense that he was just trying
to keep his family together and the defense tried to throw
Dolores, the Delgado under the bus and said that she was the
real killer, that he was the oneat home, that she the one that
ran up. Now his defense attorney Hawks
also presented a Facebook message from Dolores, which she
(50:29):
sent after Kearney took a large number of sleeping pills because
he was distraught about his situation with Carlin.
Delgado wrote in the message. The crazy bitch is going to be
put out. Now.
That was in the Baltimore Sun Obviously, they admitted that
explicit year. But, you know, that's basically
(50:50):
what she said. Now, yeah, Dolores did want to
out the picture. But we already know why Dolores
wanted out the picture because she was in love with Malik.
She'd been down with it for years.
She was tired of being his number two.
She wanted to be #1 So either way it goes, the defense.
And everybody was not buying this at all because in their
(51:11):
mind it was like, listen, man, you killed that woman and you
need to quit playing so well. Anyway, the Lord Delgado even
testified that same July, the 18th, that same day.
And she said that Malik knocked on the apartment door before
sunrise on the 25th. He was wearing different
clothing than what he had left in the Lord's ass quoted on the
(51:32):
Baltimore Sun. He was nervous, standing up kind
of pace. He had his hands on his head.
He said he couldn't believe thathe just left her laying there.
And I don't doubt that's true because I mean, like I said, the
man, I don't think he ever murdered anybody before.
I mean, the way he was doing in our in in the military sound
(51:53):
like to me he was not even he haven't even seen no live round
action. And then he left his baby down
there too. Now, the Lords also testified
that she met Malik while servingin Iraq in 2007.
So maybe he did see some action.My apologies.
The affair started before the marriage and continue after she
(52:15):
visited Malik at Fort Jackson inAugust 2015.
He told her he was going to travel to Maryland to kill his
wife and she didn't reconcile with him in two weeks.
So that's when they began planning on how he would go
about traveling without getting caught.
She tracked the miles on her vehicle to help him determine
the exact exactly how much gas he would need.
(52:36):
Dolores. You know, he telling her, if I
can't put this marriage back together, then I'm going to do
this. That's why would you.
He just said, you know, he wouldn't want to put his
marriage back together. This is this is what he was
gonna do. And she knew that this girl
probably wasn't going back to him.
Now. She said she told him to drive
(52:58):
her Nissan Altima because it wasless conspicuous than his
Jaguar. That is true 'cause nobody sees
a neat Nissan Altima and be like, Oh my God, man, did you
see that Nissan Ultimate down the road?
You know it, it was at that apartment, you know it, don't it
don't blend with everybody else's cars.
So yeah, now Malik playing with the travel on back roads and
(53:21):
Phillip on gas at a spot where he wouldn't be seen.
But it was fairly solid because it proved that he was able to
pull that off and do it. Now he also told Dolores that he
would kill Carla and her roommate if she was home and
make it look like somebody brokein and messed with the women.
So thank God the roommate wasn'tthere that night and out of town
(53:43):
because he was willing to to take her out too.
Or thank God that there wasn't no other person in that in that
house because he was going to take them out too.
But either way it goes, he left his phone with Dolores and asked
her to send a text and make a call to help establish his
alibis. And Dolores went through Malik's
phone while he was gone. And then that when she got
(54:03):
pissed off because she found outthat he was having an affair
with other women, she found out he pictured these women all that
wasn't that wasn't her and they and they undressed.
She was pissed but they could see their relationship even
after he moved. Close to his little.
Girl. So yeah, she knew he was a
killer. She wasn't afraid.
(54:25):
She was in there on this all theway.
So I'm getting to the point where we talk about how much
time he got. So give me one second here and I
will tell it. All right.
So this was a pretty lengthy trial.
So the trial wound up being likethis on November 30th, 2018.
(54:47):
And I'm sorry, my dog is barking.
Lee Kearney was sentenced to life without parole by a federal
judge, plus ten years on the useof firearm and the Commission of
a crime. And he was ordered to pay a
little more than $490,000 in restitution to his daughter and
(55:10):
Carolyn's mother. Now, where that $490,000 is
going to come from, hell, I don't know.
I mean, maybe there's a lot of license plates, maybe he got to
sell off on his assets. But I do know that 490,000 is
probably because of the militaryinsurance policy and stuff that
(55:32):
he probably had on his wife because she was.
A military member so he got all of her insurance when she died
while he was not a suspect to later on after it cleared.
So that's probably why he's got to pay that restitution now.
The judge said the crime was notcommitted in the heat of the
moment. Instead it was cold blooded.
(55:53):
It was calculated and that he don't think any doubt about that
there was this wasn't a situation where this guy snapped
in plenty. He thought about it and yeah, he
even gave like a time frame typeof ultimatum.
If she doesn't take me back in two weeks, I'm going to kill
her. And if her roommate's home, I'm
(56:13):
killing her too. Yes.
That is not no heat of the moment type of stuff.
Now, the judge noted that Malik was involved with other women,
including Dolores Diago Delgado,which he killed when he killed
Carmen. The judge also noted that Malik
had 7 hours to change his mind. That's right.
That's how long it took him to get to driving from South
(56:35):
Carolina to America. And, hey, 7 hours.
You could have turned back around, bro, and let it go.
Now, Malik did speak before he was sentenced.
He told Carlin's family. I know the pain and heartache
that you feel. He added that his love for
Carlin grew strongly every day. And I just didn't don't even
know what to make of this. If you're her family.
(56:58):
Yeah, I I don't know how you caneven.
Hey, what? But what did you just?
Say that your love grows stronger for her every day fool
you was at the funeral next to these people grooving grieving
No people's having probably all kinds of authentic Mexican
dishes and your ass is eat beside it's of a whole lot of
(57:19):
love garden. She's everything to me at the
same time. You and the mistress, the plan
to kill this girl and left that damn pretty behind.
Lovely daughter of yours beside her.
I hope your daughter grew up in hate your guts.
Oh, she never talked. No.
And I'm glad I'm not her family.So I would have been like a
(57:40):
brother or or a cousin or somebody like that.
I would have reached over that gallery and it wouldn't have
been pretty. Let's put it that way.
They would have to haul my blackass out the courtroom.
This is crazy. But anyway, after he said that
statement and everything else, he also gave message to his five
children. That's right, Malik also got
five other children. He told them that he loved them
(58:02):
and said I'm sorry I haven't been able to be there for the
past two years because of these proceedings.
Nah pled you ain't been there for them children because you
was too busy being selfish and want everything in Malik's
world. I hope they grow to hate your
ass too. Anyway, Carla's mother spoke in
court and asked the judge not tohave any mercy in sentence.
(58:26):
She recalled how Malik came to the funeral and told her for all
we know the killer is among us. You got some nerve, you killed
your wife and you go to the funeral and tell your
mother-in-law. For all we know.
The killer could be among us. You, the killer, you basically
(58:46):
admitted it. Obviously, we know he was
correct. Yeah, right next to her.
She didn't know it was him, but Malik's lawyer told the judge
about his redeeming qualities when she asked for a lot of
cities, noting that he received 4 tours of duty in the.
Army and he had PTSD from injuries and he suffered in
Iraq. She said that he experienced
(59:08):
abandonment during his childhoodand grew up in foster home.
But again, like I said this, this doesn't mean that it's OK
for you to murder buddy, all right?
I mean, come on, You was in the military.
They taught you to be honorable and to be committed.
Now attorney Robert Hurst said Malik Kearney, cold hearted,
planned to murder his wife and placed his four month old baby
(59:30):
in her dead arms after shooting her.
Several times at close rank, theinvestigators and prosecutors
painstakingly put this case together so Kearney could not
escape justice. And it was trying to bring that
family piece. So either way, you know how how
these killers do. Malik tried to appeal his case.
(59:50):
He tried to say that basically he got on, he got forced to do
everything and that it was not afair interrogation, all that BS,
but it was denied. December 16th, 2020.
Now let's talk about Dolores Delgado.
With Dolores Delgado participation in everything that
(01:00:11):
they asked her to do, she got 17years in prison.
So as of now, I don't think whenthey'll the excuse me.
Miss Donna Delgado, Dolores, I mean Delgado gets out of prison,
is going to be looking up for Mr. Love of her life, Mr.
(01:00:35):
Kearney. I think that this chick is
probably going to move past his ass and keep it moving.
So guys, this was a tragic story.
Even though my wife is rushing me to hurry up, but I am trying
to do what she asked me to do right quick.
Love of the death, but either way it goes man.
Let me tell you this, When it comes to this type of the story,
(01:00:57):
this just gives you all. Another example is that if you
want to leave out of a relationship, just fucking
leave. It's OK to lose all your shit.
You'll always get it back. And if you don't get it back,
guess what? You got freedom and a Peace of
Mind and do what you want to do.Now if you ain't got the balls
to leave and do all those things, then don't be like these
(01:01:20):
jackasses here and try to commita crime and think you're gonna
get away with it taking someone's life.
Because at the end of the day, the police will catch you,
science will catch you, your conscience will catch you.
You never get away and the faster you guys learn this shit,
(01:01:42):
the better off you will be in making the decision to either
stay or go. That's all I got.

So again, support, support, support because we're trying to
grow, grow, grow. All right, with that being said,
(02:32):
I want to tell everyone I am sorry for the high 80s I had
between the episodes from getting to 19 and starting now.
I was starting to give up on this because I was not getting
any growth or support. But now I am back at it.
Y'all have my full attention. I am dedicated to be a focus on
(02:55):
this. I even kind of neglected my
political podcast which I probably will pick up sooner or
later after I get this off the ground.
But right now this is my baby and this is what I want to focus
on. With that being stated, without
further ado, we are going to talk about this case here that
(03:19):
I've been wanting to do for a minute and I decided I want to
do a different because so many people know about this case
already that our true crime fansand some people really don't.
So I'm going to start back. We're going to start with the
beginning of the crime scene where the body is found and then
(03:42):
we are going to lead up to how it began and then we'll go to
the aftermath from there. So this story is about 3
players, main players in this that I need you guys to take
heed on. The first main player is Malik
(04:03):
Kearney. Malik Kearney is a Sergeant in
the United States Army. He is the charming, wondering
eye Playboy that everybody in the Army enjoys to be around.
He is charismatic, he is charming, he is know how to say
(04:26):
the right things. He has the look.
He's like every woman's fantasy when they first step into the
military and everything that a man wants to be while he is in a
position of authority in the military.
(04:49):
The next player is going to be is his beautiful young wife
which her name is Carlin Ramirez.
Carlin Ramirez is a gorgeous young girl who just got into the
military not so long ago. See this nice gorgeous Sergeant
(05:16):
and has falling in love. When I said falling in love,
yes, she is falling in love. That's her Boo, that's her
husband, that's her everything. This man is her soul mate.
And then we have one more play, the one that everybody know, the
(05:38):
side chick who I'm going to callher Delgado.
Now that's her last name. I want to say her first name is
Donna, but we'll get to her fullname when we get there.
But right now I'm going to respectfully call her Delgado.
She's the side chick ride or die, you know.
I mean, she the one that whenever the main dude, the main
(06:02):
wife is not doing her part, the first thing she go, he going to
do would be like, yo BAE, I needyou to come through, get me
right And you know it. She is going to get him right
with whatever he needs her to do.
So those are the players. So we are going to start at the
(06:22):
crime scene. This is in August 2015.
Now, August 2015 is a horrible time for this family, especially
of the Ramirez family because they're beautiful.
Beautiful daughter, sister, niece, cousin is found deceased
(06:50):
in her home with the baby in thecrib.
Just a cry. Now everybody in this
neighborhood is shocked because this don't happen here.
OK? Now meanwhile, while that is
going on, this U.S. military mother is deceased.
The husband is like 500 miles away, you know what I mean, at
(07:11):
the station, at the military base in South Carolina, Fort
Jackson, you know, doing his military obligations.
And even when this all first happened, his alibis appears to
be pretty solid. But they're going to find out it
ain't as solid as it is. But we'll talk about that later.
(07:33):
Now, the whole reason that this actually even took place, the
motive, which again, I'm tellingyou this a little early, is
because Malik just didn't want to be married anymore.
OK? Malik got to the point that he
felt like that his life would bebetter off being back being a
(07:58):
bachelor all right? Because he knew in his mind that
he had done so much dirt to his woman that she was going to cut
him loose anyway because she wasstarting not to feel like her
boob was really being her, goingto be her soul mate.
(08:19):
So he decided well shit, if I can't leave out of this thing,
you know by her terms, I'm goingto leave out of it on my term.
OK, now let's talk about why people usually do this because I
know a lot of people ask, well why do these people always want
to get rid of their spouse? It's always because of three
(08:39):
things. It's either because they are in
love with someone else. It's either because it's money
or 9 times out of 10, like I tell everybody else, love, money
and you guessed it, jealousy. Is that what it is?
Love, money, jealousy. And always, it always comes with
those three things why they wantto get rid of their spouses.
(09:03):
The love part is they love somebody else and the person
they in love with them gave theman ultimatum.
I ain't going to be the side person.
You need to step up and need to choose between me and them.
So they feel like they can't choose.
So they just get rid of 1. Then you got what I just said
before money. Well, if I leave out of this
relationship, I got to give halfof this half of that, oh, I got
(09:24):
insurance policy out on them, get rid of them.
That's not least is jealousy. You want to get rid of me now
because you can't stand me. And then they find out that that
spouse is moving on, then bump that I can't get beat, which you
no one else will. So that's just what it is.
It's always those three. It's never ever anything in
between. It's always those three things.
(09:47):
So anyway, as I was saying, theydon't care if they going to
spend their life in prison. But you got to understand how
did the beautiful Carla Ramirez arrive from the end of her life
to begin with? Well we got to go all the way
back to Del Rio, TX. That's what Carla Ramirez was
(10:10):
born. And let me tell you, the world
was ready for this woman when she came in on April 10th, 1991.
Now, when she came in this world, as she was growing up in
Derero, Texas, she loved huntingand riding horses.
This girl was also an incredibleathlete.
(10:32):
She was in volleyball, basketball, cross country.
Her mother, Susan Ramirez, even told not only the Maryland
Gazette but other news outlets and newspapers that she was a
risk taker. All right, She didn't let nobody
put fear in her or it have any kind of fear.
(10:56):
Now, she was also the type of person that she liked to take on
and tackle a lot of things, all right, no matter how tough they
were, OK. Not to mention she like to take
her time and analyze things too and do what she got to do.
But anyway, Carlin graduated high school in 2009.
(11:17):
After that, she attended the University of Houston,
University of Houston, because she wanted to study criminal
justice. And at the time, what I've heard
from what I researched, she wanted to be a cop.
About three years until her degree, she decided that she
wanted to do something a little bit more challenging.
She wanted to serve her country and she wanted to go into U.S.
(11:37):
Army. So she joined the Army in
February of 2013. Now she was assigned to a lot of
several bases in that time frame.
Let me discuss some of these bases.
She was stationed at Camp Humphreys in South Korea.
(11:59):
Let's see here. Now during that time when she
got to Camp Humphreys, which I think that was her first duty
station, that's when she met theman that will set all of this
crazy shit into motion and that is Malik Curry.
(12:21):
That is right. He was an Army Sergeant first
class. Now if you don't know what an
Army Sergeant first class is, that is a fix in the Army.
So basically a fix in the Army is got as much power as A7 or
sometimes even like AE8 in the Navy.
(12:41):
These people are ahead of a lot of operations.
They have a lot of people under them.
They like a they are like a major NCO as they call a non
commissioned officer in the army, meaning that they got a
lot of power. Same thing with a chief in the
Navy that is an NCO. They got in even a first class
too and a lot of times E sixes and up.
(13:02):
They have power and they have a lot of pool and a lot of
influence. So basically the enlisted note
when you talk to even know EA and you better be on your PS and
QS because they don't put their time, you know what I mean?
So anyway, Malik enlisted in theArmy in 2000, all right?
(13:25):
So that means right after high school he went in.
So Malik is not that far along, not that much older than me that
just telling you my true age andI'm going to leave it at that.
Now, according to the Army Times, Kearney worked as a
chemical, biological radiology and a nuclear specialist.
(13:49):
Now you want to know what that means?
That means that he was a brilliant ass dude.
He was very intelligent, OK? He wanted them dudes that not
only is he a leader, but you know, I'm saying he know about
probably about all different types of strategies to use these
(14:09):
chemicals to be efficient in a time of war.
So yeah, he he yes, that's, that's a very, very, very
intelligent guy. That means he get out the he was
the guy out the Army at the timeof 20 years.
He would probably work somewherelike Lockheed Martin or any of
these major military facilities and have a great career on a
(14:33):
second, on a second try and probably be making over 130 a
145 grand. Not to mention his pension of
being retired. You can't make this up.
Oh, yeah. He also can still get to go to
school too if he want to furtherhis education.
So he got it going on right now.Throughout his career, this man
(14:54):
earned a lot of awards. And I'm going to break it down
to what they mean. Army committed or Army
Commendation medals, good conduct medals.
Now let me tell you about Army conditional medals.
Army Commendation medals is justlike our name in the Navy, the
Navy, the achievement medal. It just basically said, hey,
(15:16):
you're a kick ass guy. You did everything that you are
supposed to and went above and beyond and we want to appreciate
you. So that's what that means.
No more, no less. Now good conduct medals, that
means you was one that never gotin any kind of UCMJ type of
(15:38):
situation. You've never been to Captain's
Mass all of your first term in the military.
So that means every four years you ain't never got in no
trouble. I got like three of them.
Damn things, OK, because I don'tknow two of them.
Because I was in there for eightyears, so I know all right now.
(15:58):
You also get what you call a campaign stars.
Campaign stars mean that that's how many times that you did your
tours or or whatever that you are supposed to be assigned to
on missions and the Global War on Terrorism Extraditionary
Medal means everybody got that after 911.
Now the campaign stars if I'm wrong all in my military
(16:22):
personnel out there or former veterans, please correct me in
the comments because that's whatI think campaign stars is.
I'm quite sure I may be wrong and I am open for you guys to
tell me when I'm wrong so you ain't got to jump up there and
be an ass. Now with that being said he was
very much a very decorated solidsoldier.
(16:44):
Now, according to her sister Roxanna Ramirez, Carly, she fell
completely head over heels. Former link her sister them say
every time they talk to her, shewas talking about somebody.
Oh my God, girl, I'm working with this Sergeant that's over
me. He is gorgeous.
(17:05):
He is this, he is that and he isyou know, how young girls is
that young like that from a little town ain't never seen
nothing like this. You know, all this man with all
this power with all this charisma.
She was going crazy, you know, Imean, but she was Malik
subordinate. That means she's under Malik in
(17:28):
his in his command, on his command and probably in his
squad. And that type of relationship is
frowned upon the military. And let me tell you why it is in
the military, even in the Navy too.
If let's say for instance, a chief that's an E7 or, or, or E6
(17:49):
or whatever sees a young girl orthey're a person that they're
mentoring and they're E3 or E4, that is considered
fraternization because you are over that person.
You ain't got no business dealing with them like that
because you over them. And that could cause a conflict
of interest. Now, let's say for instance,
(18:10):
y'all in two different locationsand not in each other's unit.
And you know, y'all ain't even in each other's field, but y'all
find each other, got to deal with each other.
Just that the third then you know, they'll excuse it because
OK, y'all met because y'all ain't in two.
Y'all ain't in the same command,y'all in different things.
(18:30):
It's cool, fine, whatever. So that's how that usually works
and that's how you can it's definitely is is looked at now
than what it was back in the day.
Because see, back in the day they kind of let it slide if he
was a popular person, but now with so many things going on and
grooming and stuff like that, they really don't harp down on
(18:52):
it. What I was told by people that's
in the military now, they reallyhave not relaxed on that
anymore. Them days is over.
So anyway, Carlin got pregnant months after they started
dating. So somewhere along the line they
decided to start dating. And I guess he said I don't give
a who I want her. She won't mean let's do this and
(19:13):
was saying that she was excited to have a baby because this
young girl had survived cervicalcancer and was told she would
probably not be able to have children.
So she like, all right, this is great.
And then, you know, she's in love.
You know, she got this dude. That's a great guy.
You know, I'm saying he got all this swag.
(19:34):
He like everything she ever think of.
So anyway, two weeks before she was scheduled to take leave to
go home, which we call in the military leave when I was in
there. That means you get your little
time, put your little paperwork in, say you want to leave and
use that time and they file it and use it.
She got offered a job for National Security Agency, the
(19:57):
NS. So again, this is like an
expertise of being able to do high tech security for the for
the US. Now she was stationed at Fort
Meade in Maryland. So call and move.
To Fort Meade in 2015. Now again she's a private first
(20:18):
class and information technologyspecialist with Fort Meade 700
and Military Intelligent Battalion.
So what that means she is a private first class?
She is basically E3. She's not even an E4 year, but
she's about to be there now. When she gets to be AE4, she'll
(20:39):
be considered a corporal or likein the Marines or a specialist.
But right now, this is what she is.
She is AE now. Either way it goes.
While this is going down, while she's in Maryland.
Catalia Veil Kearney was born inApril that year.
(21:00):
Now Carlene. Carlene and Malik got married a
few months later. Now, again, like I said, Malik
was stationed at Fort Jackson, SC, so they are part most of the
time. Now, according to one of the
people that knew them, retired Sergeant first Class League Roy
McDaniels, he said they got married because of their
(21:23):
rankings and they had to quote, put something on paper because
it was not allowed anymore. So that's when they started
cracking down. So they got grandfathered in and
to get grandfathered in on that,you had to put down on paper
that y'all was actually married.Could be no, that my baby Mama
or that my aunt, the military don't play there.
You better get married and y'allbetter make it work.
(21:45):
Y'all took the time to play around.
Y'all better take the time to hold it down.
So anyway, but to save themselves from violating this
rule that had just came into place.
So they said that she loved him for that, but they said Malik's
most intentions, possibly from the people that know him was to
make sure he covered his ass because he had a mess with this
(22:09):
girl and while she was his support.
But anyway, while this is going on, they had this.
It was tough on this girl because here she is newly
married. Her husband is 500 miles away
from her. This man is in South Carolina on
one of the. Biggest Army military training
bases Fort Jackson. And here she is out here in
(22:30):
Maryland in Fort Meade. So this is crazy.
You know what I'm saying? Like she like feeling like him.
You know, I don't get to see this man.
Now we are. I don't know what I want to do
this. This is crazy.
I'm in Fort. Meade and he's there now.
Anyway. Usually the military sees this
(22:52):
and usually try most of the time.
Tried the station, the spouse and the husband near each other.
Now most cases I've seen when I was in the Navy, like let's say
they had this going on the, the,the senior person out of the
relationship, like him could actually ask, hey, you know, I
(23:13):
know y'all got me at Fort Jackson, but can I get a early
trend early? You know, I'm saying duty
station change due to, you know,life circumstances.
Can I get transferred over therenear my wife at Fort Meade?
I can teach over there. Or if I can't get to Fort Meade,
what another, another base that's not too far away.
(23:34):
So I don't be two hours and three hours away from my wife.
I might be an hour away, an hourand a half, you know what I'm
saying? Versus 500 miles, bro, that's a
hell of a drive. That's like 7-8 hours away from
the wife. So anyway, Carlin and Malik had
only been married for five weeksat the time of her murder, and
(23:55):
they had never lived together, and a lot of people did not like
that at all. Now, Carla's sister Roxanna
lived with her for a few months because she was lonely, but then
Roxanna had to move later moved back to Texas.
Now, at the time of her death, Carla was living with a woman
(24:17):
named Maurice Marissa, who was also a young mother.
And, you know, they were supporting each other.
Now, I do not know Marissa was in the military, but I just know
that she was living with her. So after two weeks of the
marriage, now, since I had to put that extra tidbit, Malik
drove to Marilyn because he's trying to reconcile.
(24:39):
But Carlin obtained A restraining order that
prohibited him from contacting her now.
The reason was is that she was getting tired of feeling lonely
and she felt like he just was not giving her enough attention.
So they said that during the time that they worked together
(25:04):
in each other's presence to someone, he came through the
visit or she came through the visit.
I don't know how that happened, but he got very, very physical
when she started talking about she wanted to leave him to the
point that he scared. He basically was like, Nah,
(25:25):
ain't no damn way. You ain't gonna tell me when I'm
gonna leave. Now this reconciliation part, I
think it was because he knew with his contact order it could
make him look real bad in the military because the military
get a whim of you putting hands on your spouse.
That's automatic UCMJ. He didn't want to do that.
(25:47):
This man been in since 2015 years.
You had a spotless record and now you lose your cool and with
your wife because you don't likeher calling you out on your BS
Oh no, I got to get this corrected.
You know, So that's what he was trying to do.
He was trying to do damage control.
That reconciliation wasn't really genuine.
(26:09):
It was a damage control thing. You know, let me go ahead on,
let me tell her I'm sorry, I love her and it should be OK.
That's what that was. So anyway, K, Caitlin or Carla
wasn't hearing it. She was like, you know, this
ain't it working. You doing your thing.
(26:30):
I don't know what you doing. And when you do come up here and
I'm trying to explain to you howlonely I feel, you want to be
irrational. I'm out.
So anyway, she started telling people that she don't know how
he really feel about her. She don't feel like he is into
the mirror like she is and she just feel like that maybe he
(26:52):
just did this just to protect yourself after all because of
his job title and things of thatnature.
So on August the 25th, 2015, this is the day again that Carla
Ramirez was found shot to death in her town home in serving
(27:13):
Maryland. Now her roommate was.
Out of the state at the time. And then Carla was found
upstairs of a home. Now someone put a gun against
her body and fired three shots, one in her side, 2 in her chest.
Colin's four month old baby was found unharmed next to her body,
(27:34):
which is so so fucked up. At first patrol officers thought
the baby had been killed, but apparently the baby was just
sleeping. God bro, you got to be a very
sick and twisted individual to kill a woman that has a newborn
baby and put said baby beside her cold dead body and just
(28:02):
leave it there like it just spilt juice that's.
Just Oh my God bro. You can't make this shit up so
either way it goes. When the officers getting there,
they see that Carly is not wearing pants and her underwear
was pulled down. Around her ankles.
Looking like a sexual assault now, she had some bruises and
(28:26):
scratches, but her autopsy foundthat she was not sexually
assaulted and there was no sign of force.
Entry or robbery? In the townhouse.
And the murder weapon was missing.
So either way it goes, seeing all this, it makes you wonder
what really happened. So maintenance workers, they
called the police that morning because they saw two dogs
(28:48):
running loose through the community.
And the workers tried to catch one of the dogs, but it ran
through an open glass door. The workers went to the front of
the unit and received no answer,so they called the police.
A neighbor who asked not to be identified.
They told the Maryland Gazette that her husband was out walking
(29:09):
around 6:00 AM that morning and a small dog kept following him.
The dog scratched his leg and ran towards Colin's apartment
unit. The dog ran back and forth
between the man and the unit. He felt as though the dog was
asking for help, so he knocked on the door next to Carlin's
unit. But the rather said it wasn't
their dog and he didn't try the next door because Carla's unit
(29:32):
because he needed to go home to help his kids get ready for
school. So that's the thing about dogs,
man. Dogs are amazing.
They actually know when something's wrong.
And I have a small dog loving todeath.
Shout out the River. That's what I made my logo off
of. And he's very intelligent.
(29:52):
River can tell you in a heartbeat that something's going
wrong or something's wrong because he has a way of alerting
us that, hey, something's wrong here, you need to check on it.
Especially when my wife is really sick.
He knows how to let us know. Then come in and check on.
So anyway, at first, you know, people probably going to be
(30:14):
suspicious about this guy walking and talking about his
dog walking back and forth. But anyway, so Carlin, I called
her mother and sister hours before she was killed.
Now, Roxanne Carlin's sister told Crime Watch date.
She said I don't know what is wrong, but I don't feel right.
I don't feel safe. Do you think my baby knows I
love? Her, I'm like, why are you
(30:36):
talking like this? What happened?
And Carlin said I don't know. I can't tell you.
I don't know. So basically I've always said
that when people are in a dangerous situation and they
sits have a sixth sense that this situation is not turning
(30:56):
out for the better, that's what they start doing.
They start questioning things and the loyalty of.
People around them. Because they got that sixth
sense that. Something's not right.
Anyway, she just kept telling him she didn't know.
And so they just left it at. So Carla's mother, Susan, also
told Crime Daily that she told me she was having a panic
(31:19):
attack. And I said, Carla, what's wrong?
She said, I can't discuss it. It's nothing I can discuss with
you. And so her mother automatically
thought, well, it must be work because she was in the NSA.
And you know, that's confidential because you can't
really talk about certain things.
And so that's why she brushed itoff.
Well, Roxanne said she couldn't sleep that night, so she texted
(31:45):
Carlin. Her phone indicated that she
read the text, but she didn't reply.
Susan called Carlin several times and she didn't answer.
So I think it was eerie to them that she saw the text and didn't
reply. That really kind of bugged it.
So anyway, so now Malik was a person of interest because the
police learned Carlin was playing a divorce, but initial
(32:08):
evidence confirmed he was in South Carolina around the time
of the murder. His Netflix account and cell
phone activity supported. So Malik's like, yo, man, I love
that girl. That was my wife, you know, I
know I put my hands on her because I was frustrated, but
damn y'all, I love that girl, man.
(32:29):
That girl was everything to me, you know, and look at his
browser history, you know, looking like he played the Xbox,
PlayStation, know the usual whatyoung guys do in the military
that that is in his age bracket that's in their early 30s now.
Anyway, even though all that is happening, a lot of people's
like, but you know, maybe he could have had it just plain to
(32:52):
make us think that he was looking at Netflix or could he
have somebody else watching his Netflix.
But either way was pretty good, was airtight.
I mean, now doing his interview with the police, like I see that
man cried like a real champion. I'll talk about Oscar worth.
(33:13):
This man was in that interview saying, see, what's the love of
my life? Oh my God, bro, I don't know
why. Why me?
Jesus, Why my girl, my wife, youknow, he's into it.
He's slobbering, you know, the whole damn, he really grieving
that guy now because of that grieving husband, you know, the
(33:36):
police was like, you know, OK, man, you know, he he's a good
guy. You know, maybe you know, maybe
they had it upside down, but it seemed like he's genuine.
He's upset that his wife is is passed on now while this is
going on and everything else. Malik told the police that he
forgave Carolyn for her relationship with another
(34:00):
soldier before they got married.So basically that's another red
flag to me. I don't know why do you guys do
this? They'll get so emotionally, I
love my wife and then they'll just bring up she cheated on me
with someone else. But I forgave her because I
loved her so much. While you are in still smacking
(34:21):
cheeks. But we'll get to that later,
right? OK.
So anyway, he also gave the police his bank records, DNA and
permission to search his department and car.
His neighbor said that his vehicle didn't hadn't left the
complex. So Malik got everybody said, oh,
he's right there. So he's pretty confident.
He's confident that he's also very cooperative and
(34:44):
forthcoming. Hayden gave up his DNA and he's
saying, hey, feel free to just search whatever you want to
search. He basically acting like he's
not guilty, right? And that's why you expect from
someone that's not guilty. Take my DNA, do what you gotta
do, player. So with investigators, he gave
up his phone, which proved he wasn't at Carlin's home when she
(35:06):
was killed. That's kind of what we were
talking about earlier in there. So, you know, his cell phone
activity, everything matching upso far.
So anyway, Carlin's family took custody the other day, and when
they did, Malik relocated to Texas to spend more time with
his daughter. So he basically told Fort
Jackson got the military behind him to relocate.
(35:28):
You know, they going to stand behind they solid soldier.
Yeah, we got you. We got you, soldier.
So now one of the things that was kind of a relevant
revelation was that Malik had told the police that, you know,
she had a relationship with another soldier before they got
married. They were still together.
(35:49):
They just hadn't got married. But he said, you know what, I
forgave her. So he's saying, you know, I'm a
big person. I'm just still trying to, you
know, I forgave my wife. His side of the story.
But unfortunately, Carlin is nota is not a lie to tell her
truth. So we just going to have to
(36:11):
leave it at there. But anyway, it would take over a
year for the police to make an arrest in Carlin's case.
And that is because the investigators took a closer look
at Malik phone 'cause they saw that he had been calling and
texting a woman name. That's right, here we go, the
(36:33):
side bitch Dolores Delgado. Now this is Malik's girlfriend
side chick. I've been waiting to be his main
girl since day one. So anyway, they discovered that
Dolores was at his apartment complex in South Carolina at the
(36:56):
time of Carla's murder. So now that wasn't even talked
about earlier in the. When he had the interview with
the police. So that's a little bit strange.
So anyway the detective decided you know what we need to travel
(37:17):
to Florida where Dolores lived and talk about this information
about her kicking it with Malik current now Dolores admitted
yeah I was there she said her Malik were both that department
the whole night. You know, it's easy to get over
someone you know cheating on youwhen you up here clapping them
(37:41):
cheeks. Yeah, already cheating.
And, you know, trying to get over the being away from your
spouse because your heart is growing fondant for the person
that is not. But anyway, the police find out
that he lied about his side chick and that already put him
under suspicion. So now he's back at being a
(38:02):
person of injury. So even though he had
cooperated, so that guy investigated saying, all right,
we got to find out after findingout what type of good that they
had, See, there was a 357 revolver that was involved in
the actual murder of Miss CarlinRamiri.
(38:24):
And they was like, well, let's see about my man's if he has a
357 revolver. Well, you know, they looked at
Malik. Malik ain't got no 357 revolver.
He didn't purchase it or anything like that.
But then it was like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a
minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
(38:45):
If I was going to try to hurt myspouse and I needed that type of
weapon, who could I trust to getit for me?
And nobody would never suspect. Let's check the savage.
And they did. That's right.
Miss Dolores had recently purchased a 357 Revolve.
(39:09):
Now that 357 revolve if you ain't never shot one, I'm shot
one. Dumb boys got some kick and you
got to have a strong arm, strongwrist.
You know I mean forearm and wrist to knock that out.
You know I mean because it will kick you back.
So anyway, they also looked at Malik phone again.
(39:35):
They reanalyzing everything again extra.
Set of eyes, there was a lot of text message that was deleted
out of Malik phone that was hardfor the.
Police to retrieve. And just was not making sense.
But Dolores still had them on hers and they were discussing,
you guessed it, gas mileage on the night Carlin died.
(39:58):
And bank records showed that theDolores purchased 2 gas cans
before the murder. Hold up, wait a minute. 2 gas
cans. Wait a minute, you told me
Dolores, that you was at home with my man's here, Malik
Kearney, and y'all was, you know, letting him clap them
cheeks, see like he wasn't clapping nothing but his gums
(40:21):
and maybe some gum while not being at home because it looks
mighty suspect that he was supposed to be with you all
night long and y'all supposed tobe having this intimate romantic
night but y'all doing text messages about gas mileage and
gas cans. I digress.
Even though they don't want no financial records and you don't
(40:42):
want to get caught on surveillance video, you don't
stop. So you either going to wear a
diaper or you going to get a bunch of Gatorade bottles and
you going to pee in them so you don't have to stop.
I mean, that's just what people would do if you're on a mission
to try to commit the perfect crime, right?
(41:04):
But you don't want to get caught.
So right before the murder on October 6th, 15 on.
So after they got all this evidence against them on October
the 6th, 2015, 35 year old MalikKearney and 31 year old Dolores
Delgado were arrested in Texas. That's right, they was arrested
(41:30):
in Texas. You can't make this up.
Two days earlier, they were indicted by a Maryland federal
grand jury for Interstate travelto commit domestic violence,
including in death, in connection with the death of
Carla Ramirez, according to the Baltimore Sun.
(41:51):
Now again, what frustrated me about this case is this man
could have walked away and stillhad his best life and let me
pick you this dog the the Lawrence Delgado was actually a
nurse, a registered nurse in Florida.
Real talk. So he.
(42:12):
Had a chick that still had money.
He didn't have to go out like. This, you can't make this up.
So anyway, it goes best, attorney Rod Rosenstein said, as
quoted by the Baltimore Sun. The indictment alleges that
Malik Kearney and Dolores Delgado conspired to murder
(42:33):
Carlin Ramirez. And according to the indictment,
Malik traveled from South Carolina to Maryland on August
the 24th, 2015 to kill Carlin. And on October 18, 2016, federal
agent Jonathan Schaefer testified that Malik shot Carlin
(42:54):
on Monday, August 24th. Now I know y'all are asking me,
but Joel, why is the FBI of all this?
Because he is in the Army. No, it's not just because it
let. Me help you out.
The FBI passed the law years agothat once you decide to go from
one state to another to commit the crime, that is called
(43:18):
Interstate, what they call it Interstate commerce basically.
So basically it becomes a federal investigation.
So the FBI can swoop in and be like, yo states listen, listen,
calm down. I got this.
He doing fed time now. Thing about fed time is, is that
once the feds get involved you got to do 80% of your time.
(43:38):
That's just what it is. You 85% of your time and in this
case you about to find out how much time a man's got.
So they said this is what reallywent down.
Malik finished work early afternoon of the 24th.
Oh, and then he drove the Marilyn.
He entered Carla's home with that spare key and he brandished
(43:59):
the 357 caliber revolver. Carlin attempt to calm him down
but told Malik she didn't want to see him again.
So Malik shot Carlin three times.
She was shot at point blank range and to reduce the sound,
Malik took off her pants and pulled down to reduce yeah, the
point bank range to reduce the sound.
(44:19):
Then he went and he took off herpants and pulled down her
underwear to stay to sexual assault.
And then he put his own. Baby in her arms and left to
see. You can't make this so wow.
So anyway, the baby was also left for 8 hours before somebody
discovered them the next morning.
So yeah, you got to be a pretty much a dirtbag for that to
(44:41):
happen. And the gas can they brought,
they made sure that they could last for 500 miles to get there
and back. Now they said allegedly that he
drove a little Ford Fiesta. Now that is a small ass car.
Or something similar to like a Ford Fiesta for him to be able
to pull this off. Now, Doris Diego, Diego at the
(45:06):
time remained in South Carolina while this was going on.
He was traveling back and she was playing with his cell phone
that he left behind. So that way she could be able to
stream of what was going on on the shows and make it look like
that he. Was home the whole time.
Till he remained back into SouthCarolina the next following
(45:27):
morning. But anyway, at the end of the
hearing, a federal judge orderedMalik to be transferred to
Maryland to await a trial. After the arrest, the Dolores
ex-boyfriend called the police and reported that he helped the
dispose of a gun in Florida. Boy, I tell you, she must have
thought that that that little thing downstairs had enough
(45:50):
power for him not to say nothing.
He thought he could be that he could be the missing murder
weapon, and he had thrown a gun into the water and disposed of
the evidence. So with that being stated, that
the day he said that, Dolores called him and basically said,
hey, I need your help. I need you to get rid of this
(46:10):
gun and I need you to get rid ofsome other stuff, but don't ask
no questions. And he was like, yeah, OK, I
could do that. You know I help you out and then
he did what she asked until you find out why she did.
Listen, I don't know why he did it.
Maybe he still had an attachmentfor but I don't want none of my
exes to ever call me to just this to throw away nothing.
(46:32):
I'm like, Nah, you better find some other sucker.
But that's why you were 8 four reason why you even calling my
phone. So anyway, after he agreed to
cooperate with the investigators, he was able not
to get any kind of time done to get any time.
So basically he came out smelling like a rose.
(46:54):
So on August 8th of 2015, the Lords Iago the knew the writing
was on the wall and pleaded guilty in the federal court for
Interstate travel to commit domestic violence resulting in a
death. She took that plea deal.
So federal prosecutors would notseek the delta penalty and see
some and and we see that, you know, time and time again.
(47:16):
So anyway, with her doing that, you know, she had a pro she had
to probably testify against Malik.
So you know that that right there was the only way she was
able to get that plea deal. So anyway Malik Kearney trial
started in 2018 and when his July 16th 2018 and when his
(47:38):
trial started it was prosecuted by the sister US Attorney James
Warren and the defense was led by Quasi Hawks.
The prosecutors told the jury that both Malik and Carlin were
unfaithful to each other during their short marriage because
they lived in separate States and Carlin had obtained A
protective order against a husband in summer 2015.
(47:58):
They also told the jury that Malik planned it out the murder
when Carlin tried to leave because he was upset that she
was going to end it and it wasn't on his turn.
Now I know people ask, well how did side chick felt about this?
Well, the side chick probably was pissed that he still had
feelings for his wife, but she sure was on board when he was
(48:20):
talking about getting rid of her.
Now, two men testified about being involved with Carlin days
before she was killed. Assistant US Attorney Work also
said that Malik was furious whenhe learned that Carlin was
having an affair. He texted her over 900 times in
two days. Now why he both be planning for
(48:40):
Delgado to come up and work him out.
He worried about who working hiswife out.
Can't make this up. He went from please to threats.
It's like text message, like 900texts text messages in a 2 day
period. Man I don't think I even sent my
(49:01):
wife 900 text messages in a yearand we live together and we even
had arguments. I don't think I've done that
yet. Nope.
Nope. Nope, not 900 slot.
But hey man, that's what happenswhen you are obsessed with
someone, right? So anyway, Rosanna Rodriguez,
she also or Carla's sister, testified that Malik called her
(49:22):
about a month before the murder and he said, according to
WBALTV, if my sister could not be with him, she would not be
with anyone else. She has to be with me.
She's only going to be with me. Listen, I'd have told y'all,
y'all be thinking that that shitbe turning y'all on.
When you hear men and women say that if I can't be with you,
(49:44):
nobody can have you, you better run because that is not good
behavior. That is dangerous, very
dangerous. That is obsession.
I'm I love my wife, but I'm not that obsessed with my wife.
I would be hurt with her being with someone else, but I'm not
going to kill her for leaving me.
That's dumb. It's the mother of my children.
What would that? But anyway, they tried to
(50:06):
portray on the. Defense that he was just trying
to keep his family together and the defense tried to throw
Dolores, the Delgado under the bus and said that she was the
real killer, that he was the oneat home, that she the one that
ran up. Now his defense attorney Hawks
also presented a Facebook message from Dolores, which she
(50:29):
sent after Kearney took a large number of sleeping pills because
he was distraught about his situation with Carlin.
Delgado wrote in the message. The crazy bitch is going to be
put out. Now.
That was in the Baltimore Sun Obviously, they admitted that
explicit year. But, you know, that's basically
(50:50):
what she said. Now, yeah, Dolores did want to
out the picture. But we already know why Dolores
wanted out the picture because she was in love with Malik.
She'd been down with it for years.
She was tired of being his number two.
She wanted to be #1 So either way it goes, the defense.
And everybody was not buying this at all because in their
(51:11):
mind it was like, listen, man, you killed that woman and you
need to quit playing so well. Anyway, the Lord Delgado even
testified that same July, the 18th, that same day.
And she said that Malik knocked on the apartment door before
sunrise on the 25th. He was wearing different
clothing than what he had left in the Lord's ass quoted on the
(51:32):
Baltimore Sun. He was nervous, standing up kind
of pace. He had his hands on his head.
He said he couldn't believe thathe just left her laying there.
And I don't doubt that's true because I mean, like I said, the
man, I don't think he ever murdered anybody before.
I mean, the way he was doing in our in in the military sound
(51:53):
like to me he was not even he haven't even seen no live round
action. And then he left his baby down
there too. Now, the Lords also testified
that she met Malik while servingin Iraq in 2007.
So maybe he did see some action.My apologies.
The affair started before the marriage and continue after she
(52:15):
visited Malik at Fort Jackson inAugust 2015.
He told her he was going to travel to Maryland to kill his
wife and she didn't reconcile with him in two weeks.
So that's when they began planning on how he would go
about traveling without getting caught.
She tracked the miles on her vehicle to help him determine
the exact exactly how much gas he would need.
(52:36):
Dolores. You know, he telling her, if I
can't put this marriage back together, then I'm going to do
this. That's why would you.
He just said, you know, he wouldn't want to put his
marriage back together. This is this is what he was
gonna do. And she knew that this girl
probably wasn't going back to him.
Now. She said she told him to drive
(52:58):
her Nissan Altima because it wasless conspicuous than his
Jaguar. That is true 'cause nobody sees
a neat Nissan Altima and be like, Oh my God, man, did you
see that Nissan Ultimate down the road?
You know it, it was at that apartment, you know it, don't it
don't blend with everybody else's cars.
So yeah, now Malik playing with the travel on back roads and
(53:21):
Phillip on gas at a spot where he wouldn't be seen.
But it was fairly solid because it proved that he was able to
pull that off and do it. Now he also told Dolores that he
would kill Carla and her roommate if she was home and
make it look like somebody brokein and messed with the women.
So thank God the roommate wasn'tthere that night and out of town
(53:43):
because he was willing to to take her out too.
Or thank God that there wasn't no other person in that in that
house because he was going to take them out too.
But either way it goes, he left his phone with Dolores and asked
her to send a text and make a call to help establish his
alibis. And Dolores went through Malik's
phone while he was gone. And then that when she got
(54:03):
pissed off because she found outthat he was having an affair
with other women, she found out he pictured these women all that
wasn't that wasn't her and they and they undressed.
She was pissed but they could see their relationship even
after he moved. Close to his little.
Girl. So yeah, she knew he was a
killer. She wasn't afraid.
(54:25):
She was in there on this all theway.
So I'm getting to the point where we talk about how much
time he got. So give me one second here and I
will tell it. All right.
So this was a pretty lengthy trial.
So the trial wound up being likethis on November 30th, 2018.
(54:47):
And I'm sorry, my dog is barking.
Lee Kearney was sentenced to life without parole by a federal
judge, plus ten years on the useof firearm and the Commission of
a crime. And he was ordered to pay a
little more than $490,000 in restitution to his daughter and
(55:10):
Carolyn's mother. Now, where that $490,000 is
going to come from, hell, I don't know.
I mean, maybe there's a lot of license plates, maybe he got to
sell off on his assets. But I do know that 490,000 is
probably because of the militaryinsurance policy and stuff that
(55:32):
he probably had on his wife because she was.
A military member so he got all of her insurance when she died
while he was not a suspect to later on after it cleared.
So that's probably why he's got to pay that restitution now.
The judge said the crime was notcommitted in the heat of the
moment. Instead it was cold blooded.
(55:53):
It was calculated and that he don't think any doubt about that
there was this wasn't a situation where this guy snapped
in plenty. He thought about it and yeah, he
even gave like a time frame typeof ultimatum.
If she doesn't take me back in two weeks, I'm going to kill
her. And if her roommate's home, I'm
(56:13):
killing her too. Yes.
That is not no heat of the moment type of stuff.
Now, the judge noted that Malik was involved with other women,
including Dolores Diago Delgado,which he killed when he killed
Carmen. The judge also noted that Malik
had 7 hours to change his mind. That's right.
That's how long it took him to get to driving from South
(56:35):
Carolina to America. And, hey, 7 hours.
You could have turned back around, bro, and let it go.
Now, Malik did speak before he was sentenced.
He told Carlin's family. I know the pain and heartache
that you feel. He added that his love for
Carlin grew strongly every day. And I just didn't don't even
know what to make of this. If you're her family.
(56:58):
Yeah, I I don't know how you caneven.
Hey, what? But what did you just?
Say that your love grows stronger for her every day fool
you was at the funeral next to these people grooving grieving
No people's having probably all kinds of authentic Mexican
dishes and your ass is eat beside it's of a whole lot of
(57:19):
love garden. She's everything to me at the
same time. You and the mistress, the plan
to kill this girl and left that damn pretty behind.
Lovely daughter of yours beside her.
I hope your daughter grew up in hate your guts.
Oh, she never talked. No.
And I'm glad I'm not her family.So I would have been like a
(57:40):
brother or or a cousin or somebody like that.
I would have reached over that gallery and it wouldn't have
been pretty. Let's put it that way.
They would have to haul my blackass out the courtroom.
This is crazy. But anyway, after he said that
statement and everything else, he also gave message to his five
children. That's right, Malik also got
five other children. He told them that he loved them
(58:02):
and said I'm sorry I haven't been able to be there for the
past two years because of these proceedings.
Nah pled you ain't been there for them children because you
was too busy being selfish and want everything in Malik's
world. I hope they grow to hate your
ass too. Anyway, Carla's mother spoke in
court and asked the judge not tohave any mercy in sentence.
(58:26):
She recalled how Malik came to the funeral and told her for all
we know the killer is among us. You got some nerve, you killed
your wife and you go to the funeral and tell your
mother-in-law. For all we know.
The killer could be among us. You, the killer, you basically
(58:46):
admitted it. Obviously, we know he was
correct. Yeah, right next to her.
She didn't know it was him, but Malik's lawyer told the judge
about his redeeming qualities when she asked for a lot of
cities, noting that he received 4 tours of duty in the.
Army and he had PTSD from injuries and he suffered in
Iraq. She said that he experienced
(59:08):
abandonment during his childhoodand grew up in foster home.
But again, like I said this, this doesn't mean that it's OK
for you to murder buddy, all right?
I mean, come on, You was in the military.
They taught you to be honorable and to be committed.
Now attorney Robert Hurst said Malik Kearney, cold hearted,
planned to murder his wife and placed his four month old baby
(59:30):
in her dead arms after shooting her.
Several times at close rank, theinvestigators and prosecutors
painstakingly put this case together so Kearney could not
escape justice. And it was trying to bring that
family piece. So either way, you know how how
these killers do. Malik tried to appeal his case.
(59:50):
He tried to say that basically he got on, he got forced to do
everything and that it was not afair interrogation, all that BS,
but it was denied. December 16th, 2020.
Now let's talk about Dolores Delgado.
With Dolores Delgado participation in everything that
(01:00:11):
they asked her to do, she got 17years in prison.
So as of now, I don't think whenthey'll the excuse me.
Miss Donna Delgado, Dolores, I mean Delgado gets out of prison,
is going to be looking up for Mr. Love of her life, Mr.
(01:00:35):
Kearney. I think that this chick is
probably going to move past his ass and keep it moving.
So guys, this was a tragic story.
Even though my wife is rushing me to hurry up, but I am trying
to do what she asked me to do right quick.
Love of the death, but either way it goes man.
Let me tell you this, When it comes to this type of the story,
(01:00:57):
this just gives you all. Another example is that if you
want to leave out of a relationship, just fucking
leave. It's OK to lose all your shit.
You'll always get it back. And if you don't get it back,
guess what? You got freedom and a Peace of
Mind and do what you want to do.Now if you ain't got the balls
to leave and do all those things, then don't be like these
(01:01:20):
jackasses here and try to commita crime and think you're gonna
get away with it taking someone's life.
Because at the end of the day, the police will catch you,
science will catch you, your conscience will catch you.
You never get away and the faster you guys learn this shit,
(01:01:42):
the better off you will be in making the decision to either
stay or go. That's all I got.
Once again, thank y'all for joining us for another episode
of You Can't Make This BS Up. This will be up very soon.
I hope that y'all enjoyed this episode and please leave me a
(01:02:04):
comment. Please rate me 5 stars on all
the podcasts forms that y'all listen to.
It helps me grow OK? It helps us grow.
With that being stated, y'all know what it is?
I'm out this bitch.
