Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, folks, we got a lot of topics to cover
today in the world of crime. In Louisiana, a man
robs the same Baton Rouge bank that he robbed eleven
years ago. A wild story coming out of the Bayou State.
And Florida, Donna Adelson his sentence for her role in
(00:20):
the murder of her former son in law. In California,
a playboy model is on the run after being sought
for a string of high end burglaries. In Arkansas, a
man whose trial for second degree murder is three months away,
he just announced he's running for sheriff. And guess what
(00:41):
he's likely gonna win. We're going to be talking about
that one. In Pennsylvania, a woman is in prison for
get ready for it, loud sex. These stories and more
we're coming at you today on Crime Wire Weekly. I'm
Jim Chapman and I'm Kelly. I bet you didn't expect
that last one, Kelly Jennis.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I was not ready.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
It's a fact. It happens in the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, God bless her loud sex.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Listen, you heard it here first many ways more than one.
We're silly this morning, y'all. I don't know what it is.
It's we woke up. It was pretty beautiful outside in
South Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's so cool.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, sixty two degrees when I woke up this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
We'll take it.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
We will take it. Now we're going to get into
today's stories. But before we do, Kelly has a little
announcement to make, and she's looking at me like I
have three heads because she has no idea what we're
about to announce. But Kelly, you got a series coming up?
Do you not? Unspeakable? A True crime.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Podcast by Kelly jens I do, and y'all, I have
been working my butt off to make sure that this
is the most detailed, in your face storytelling of South
Louisiana serial killer Derek Toddley.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It is probably the most requested case that she gets,
or one of the most requested for sure to cover.
And this is going to be different than anything you've
ever heard out of Unspeakable, a true crime podcast by
Kelly Jennings, and that is very highly produced. We even
outsourced some production for this one. Not that Jim Chapman
(02:28):
couldn't handle it, but you know, got a lot of
irons in that fire sometimes, so we outsourced some of
the production side of what is going on with this
particular podcast, And we've got a treat for you today.
Right now, you're going to hear the trailer for what Kelly,
what are we calling it? DTL DTL. Here it is.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
In the sultry heat of Louisiana, where the bayous whisper
secrets and the air hangs heavy with the scent of magnolias,
a darkness lurked beneath the surface. Derrick Todd Lee was
a man whose charm masked a sinister reality. He was
a monster. Lee, a seemingly ordinary man with a disarming smile,
led a double life that would unravel in a series
(03:23):
of murders in the capital city of Baton Rouge and
the surrounding areas. As the first reports of disappearances and
murders began to surface, South Louisiana was thrust into a nightmare,
igniting a frantic search for answers. The true horror was
just beginning, and the hunt for a serial killer eventually
known by just three letters, would reveal not only the
(03:43):
depths of Dereck Todd Lee's depravity, but also the resilience
of those most affected by his evil acts, the families,
and the survivors. This is DTL.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
So there you have it. Get ready for it. It's
headed your way, right, Kelly.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That's right. And listen, every victim matters, Every single victim matters,
and so the series is going to give each victim
their moment and so we can learn all about them
and everything that happened in their specific circumstance. So I
hope that y'all will come along for the ride and
that you really enjoy the series.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
That's right, and that will be headed your way November third,
the first episode of that series drop. So let's get
into the crime related headlines for today, and we're going
to start off in Louisiana. Shout out, and I'm going
to tell you about a Zachary man who held up
a region's bank at gunpoint earlier this year, only to
(04:43):
have his plans foiled by a pair of good Samaritans. Well,
he had his pleading with the State of Louisiana on
felony charges Tuesday morning, and this was inside of a
Baton Rouge Federal courtroom. Quarrels Harris, who is fifty two
and are police to charges a bank robbery, possession of
(05:04):
a firearm and using, carrying, possessing, and brandishing a firearm
during or related to the furtherance of a violent crime.
So those are called enhancements. And with those enhancements, he's
facing up to forty seven years in federal lockup on
the charges. If the judge determines he had three prior
convictions for violent crimes, well guess what life sentence on
(05:28):
those three strike laws? And so he had a gun
in his possession while being a convicted felon, which is
yet another charge. Now, Harris's charges stem from a May
eighth robbery at a Region's bank branch on Sherreo Force
Boulevard and Batton Ruage. He stole twenty eight hundred dollars
from tellers after holding employees and customers at gunpoint inside
(05:53):
that bank. But here's the wild thing about this story.
It was a second time Harris had robbed that Kler bank.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, he likes to bank. In one little he.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Walked into the exact same Regions bank in April of
twenty fourteen, pointed a gun at a pair of tellers
and told them, quote, you know what time it is,
give up the money. I mean, you know, that's a
pretty smooth way to rob a bank. You know what
time it is? Yeah, I do with that gun? Boyt
(06:24):
it an't me. I know what you want. Harris pleaded
guilty to first agree robbery in that case. This was
in twenty fifteen. He was sentenced to ten years in
prison for that robbery. So in this most recent robbery,
he stole a two thousand and eight Honda Civic. I
might would have picked a quicker car to still, but
he steals that Honda Civic that he noticed idling in
(06:47):
a driveway near his home. He lived in Zachary. This
was on May eighth. He drove the stolen car two
Regions Bank and walked in the bank. This is just
after ten am, wearing a purple LSU sweatshirt. I mean
he's gotta fly his colors, right. He lingered around in
the lobby near the deposit slips for several minutes until
(07:07):
the teller called him to her window. He then pulled
out a twenty two caliber pistol and a black bag
and demanded money, ordering the teller to quote, give me
everything you got.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
He must have watched a movie or two as a kid.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
He must have, so he didn't say, what you know
what time it is this time, that's what I was
disappointed about. He told the teller she had three seconds
to give him the money and threaten to shoot her
if she put a die pack in the bag. The
teller didn't have any cash in her drawer, so she
begins collecting money from a drive through counter. Harris noticed
the teller in the next lane counting out cash for
(07:42):
another customer, and he bumps that customer out of the way,
and he begins waving and pointing his gun at customers
and employees. Then reached over the counter and snatch the
cash out of the second drawer. The customer that Harris
knocks out of the way. He noticed the gun was
positioned betwe qween Harris and the counter, and Harris wasn't
(08:02):
really paying attention to the gun, so the customer grabbed
the gun. He wrestles Harris to the ground. He managed
to dislodge the weapon from Harris's hands. Another customer picked
up the gun and then slid it across the floor.
The bank employee then called nine to one one and
reported the robbery. During the scuffle and after they disarmed Harris,
(08:22):
the customer wrestled with him on the floor in the
bank's lobby for about seven minutes until police arrived and
took him into custody. That's a while, yeah, to be
on the ground. Yeah, so he must have been you know,
he must have been someone who could handle himself. So,
standing in a West Batterye jail jumpsuit, Harris was subdued
as he answered the judges questions during the hearing, and
(08:46):
the assistant US attorney read the allegations out loud in
the courtroom. The judge asked Harris if he agreed those
were the facts, and he basically said, it's all true.
So you didn't even deny. You know what time it is?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Judge said, you know what time? Oh yeah, prison time now.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Earlier in the preceding, the judge asked Harris if he
was satisfied with the representation he received during the case,
and Harris was very complimentary, and he said, she's been
the greatest person I've ever met as far as an
attorney is concerned. And he's met several attorneys in his time.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
He knows how to compare them.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
That's right. And his public defender incidentally, was Marcy Blaze.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Well, way to go, Marcy Blaze. You have been a
good representation of the people.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You come highly recommended from mister Harris, and he knows
what time it is, so.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I'm I mean a criminal, but he only got a
couple thou I mean, why would you rob it in
the early morning hours. I would want to do the
robbery towards the end of the day when there's more
money hopefully.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I mean, you know bank robbers, well, I guess some
of them don't think it out. He seems like he
was someone that did things kind of sporadically and on
the spurt of the moment. Because he steals the Honda
Civic that was idling. I doubt he woke up that
day and said, I'm going to go look for a
car idling he got out of his house.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Opportunity.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Look at that somebody somebody's letting their air conditioner room
while they're inside grabbing their booksack or something, and I'm
going to take this and go rob it back. But
the same bank.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No, that's the curse the Hodific though, because I had
one in high school and she got me everywhere I
needed to be.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, No, I ain't hating on Honna Civics, but I'm
hating on him for bank robberies. I mean, you know,
get you get.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You know what come it is? You know what is stylish?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Jesus Christ, you got run to Pope.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Actually you actually just need to make sure you can
out fight everyone in the lobby. Yeah, Carby Damp, no doubt.
That is a freaking g you know, a gash you
would be after seven minutes.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That's a lot which you're with your adrenaline and and everything.
So yeah, shout out to him. Didn't say his name,
but shout out to you. You know, you know you are,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Is Take that trophy? All right? So now let's go
to Arkansas where an Arkansas father who allegedly killed a
man he found in a truck with his teenage daughter
is now running for sheriff. Aaron Spencer, who's thirty seven,
announced his plan to run for Lone County Sheriff on
his campaign's Facebook page Friday, October the tenth. Spencer, who
(11:18):
was charged with second degree murder, is scheduled to stand
trial in January of twenty twenty six. He is accused
of fatally shooting Michael Fossler on October eighth, twenty twenty four.
The shooting occurred after the military veteran allegedly found his
fourteen year old daughter in a truck with a sixty
seven year old man. And if you remember we covered
this previously when this first broke we did, yeah, so,
(11:41):
Spencer allegedly told police that Fossler kidnapped his daughter and
lunged towards him when he ordered him out of the truck.
He told police he had no choice. At the time
of the shooting, Fossler was facing multiple charges, including Internet
stalking of a child, sexual assault, sexual indecency with the child,
and possession of child pornography. I'm the father who acted
(12:01):
to protect his daughter when the system failed, Spencer said
in the one minute Facebook video, and through my own
fight for justice, I have seen firsthand the failures in
law enforcement and in our circuit court. I refuse to
stand by while others face these same failures. Spencer said
his campaign to run for sheriff of the department that
arrested him isn't about me. It's about every parent, every neighbor,
(12:23):
every family who deserves to feel safe in their homes
and safe in their community. He said, It's about restoring
trust where neighbors know law enforcement is on their side
and families know that they will not be left alone
in a moment of need.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, and look, I don't know how much people have
followed that story. I can tell you it's one of
the top requested stories that for Exposed I get right
now is to cover this particular case, very very crazy case.
And look, this guy's probably gonna win. Sheriff. Well, the
(12:56):
first time I've ever heard of someone charged with second green.
And I'm not gonna say I'm mad at it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I'm not either. I mean, obviously, this guy's been a
repeat offender to multiple people, multiple families, because he was
already you know, under the scope for other things that
he's done. Sex offenders are known statistically not be able
to be rehabilitated. So he rehabilitated him for him. Yeah,
and he stopped him. And this is the thing, you know,
(13:25):
whenever they go to court on this one, and this
is why. And again I don't have every single detail
of the case. I just have what's been released in
the media. But even if you're the law if you're
the law enforcement officer responding to the scene, you know,
your perception of the events is everything. Whenever a law
enforcement shooting, you know, an officer shoots somebody, your perception
doesn't always have to be accurate. It's just you have
(13:46):
to prove that what you perceived to be the threat
was actually, you know, what you thought was going to happen,
if that makes sense. And this dad, I remember in
our previous coverage of this thought that the guy when
he launched, thought that he had a weapon that he
was pulling. And so I just I'm not sure why
the charges.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Well, I understand the look, anytime someone's killed, there's gonna
be charges brought and they're gonna leave it up to
a judge and a jury to the side.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
But this was an active I mean, his child. I
guess it wasn't an active kidnapping though, was it. I
don't remember. Because the girl was taken from the home
and in the car of this guy. This to me
is just gonna be it is what it is. I
get you go through the through the you know, due process.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, yeah, you have to. I mean, because the guy
was he's not denying he killed the guy. He's just
saying the guy lunched at him. There's there's no video,
so it's they're gonna have to try that through the system.
Because just because the guy says that's what happened doesn't
necessarily mean it happened. I believe him, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
But I'm saying they're gonna an officer is not gonna
(14:51):
bear that responsibility. He's gonna bring it to a district
attorney and say, uh, you decide whether this guy needs
to be charged. And the district attorney would rather charge
him and have a jury find him not guilty than
when you're dealing with a murder. Yeah, just let the
guy roll. But I can tell you the entire state
(15:12):
of Arkansas right now's eyes are on this case. It's
the biggest case in Arkansas well.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And obviously to me, if he's able to even put
his hat, you know, in the in the run for sheriff,
he must not have a criminal record. This father and
the way this.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Guy was a war hero, and look he did what
most fathers would have done.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, I expect that. I hate to say that, but
I expect at the point that a sixty seven year
old man has taken my fourteen year old daughter, he's
a known sex offender. There's no question in my mind
as a parent that that's not.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Good, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I agree with you. All right, Let's go to Mississippi
and a Mississippi man convicted of kidnapping, raping, and killing
a twenty year old community college student. He is set
to be executed. Actually this would have occurred two days ago,
but luck we are in real time right now when
we're recording this, so he's been executed by this point.
(16:06):
But I'm going to tell you what led to this.
Charles Crawford, fifty nine, has been on death row for
more than thirty years. The scheduled lethal injection, which was
surprising because a lot of states are going away from
lethal injection having problems getting the drugs. Apparently Mississippi was
able to do. That comes several months after the execution
of Mississippi's longest serving death row inmate in a year
(16:30):
of increasing executions, Nach Wide. Crawford was convicted of abducting
Christy Ray from her parents' home in northern Mississippi. This
was on January twenty ninth of nineteen ninety three, when
Ray's mother came home her daughter was gone and a
handwritten ransom note had been left on the table. The
same day, a different ransom note made from magazine cutouts
(16:54):
and concerning a woman named Jennifer was found in the
attic of Crawford's former father in law. The note was
turned over to law enforcement, who began searching for Crawford.
He was arrested a day later and said he was
returning from a hunting trump. He later told authorities he
blacked out and did not recall killing Ray. That is
so convenient, so convenient. At the time of his arrest,
(17:16):
Crawford was days away from going to trial on a
separate assault charge that stemmed from an attack in nineteen
ninety one in which Crawford was accused of raping a
seventeen year old girl and hitting her friend with a hammer.
Despite his assertions that he had experienced blackouts and did
not remember committing either rape or the hammer attack, Crawford
(17:37):
was found guilty of both charges and two separate trials.
His prior rape conviction was considered an aggravating circumstance by
jurors in Crawford's capital murder trial for race killing, paving
the way for his death sentence. Over the past three decades,
Crawford tried unsuccessfully to overturn that death sentence. His lawyers
(17:58):
are currently appealing to the US Supreme Court, arguing that
Crawford should be granted a new trial because the six
Amendment rights were violated in his nineteen ninety four trial.
And it goes through I'm not going to read all this,
but it goes through all these appeals that he's made
that they all make when they're getting sentenced to death. Now,
(18:19):
the plain lethal injection was to be the third in
two days in the United States, after executions Tuesday in
Florida and Missouri. A total of thirty seven men have
died by court ordered execution so far this year in
the United States. So there you have that, and they're
really rolling out these executions now nationwide after several years of.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Not being able to really if you can, and then
there was some moratoriums and things that had happened, and
just you know, there's nothing. I think it'd be crazy too.
Sometimes I find people like, hell, yeah, execute them all.
I mean, as a human being, I think that justice
must be served, But I will never be excited about
somebody's execution. I find that kind of bizarre. When people
(19:08):
are that, you know, callous, and that's why they get
all these And again, I'm not airing on the side
of the guy here. I'm just saying what he did
at those victims was callous. But I think this is
how we distinguish ourselves from these monsters. You know that
we weigh and we measure. And that's why I took
thirty years, is because they wanted to give every chance
possible to look through this case. But and that respect,
(19:31):
good riddance, because you're a predator, right and nobody was
safe around you. Yeah, no, good, all right. Now we're
gonna go to Georgia, where a professor and mother of
three children was fatally shot by her roommate who mistook
her for an intruder. Erica Anderson, thirty one years old,
died in a shooting in Columbus, Georgia that authorities have
(19:53):
deemed accidental. Anderson had returned home just after midnight on Monday,
October thirteenth from a with her husband and kids, who
are living in Indiana. Coroner Buddy Brian said that Anderson's
roommate had received alleged terroristic threats from her son, so
when she heard a noise while she slept, she picked
up a gun and fired two shots. The second bullet
struck Anderson. You have to think about the roommate that
(20:16):
shot her. Brian reportedly said, I'm sure she's devastated, as
anyone would be under the circumstances. Anderson had begun work
as a lecturer in costumes in the Department of Theater
and Dance at Columbus State University in August. Prior to
her current role, she taught costumes at Southern Utah University
and the University of Florida. She has worked professionally in
theaters and opera houses across the US, such as the
(20:39):
Sarasota Opera and Utah Shakespeare Theater, and backstage for iatsee
on touring Broadway shows. She sounds like she was a
really talented woman based on what we're hearing here. Anderson's
husband is currently undergoing cancer treatment. Erica had just started
this semester at Columbus State University as a professor in
the theater department. She was so passionate about her work
(21:00):
and her students, and she was truly excited about building
her future with the university community. She had already come
to love and.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I'm yeah, obviously, an accidental shooting horrible. The timing on
that it was apparently the estrange son of her roommate
that was upsetting the roommate, and I guess she thought
her son was going to come in there and do
something to her. I don't know, but she was. Probably
(21:31):
No one feels worse than her. But maybe this happens
more often than people think.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Hey, look I have a friend that her friend. Okay,
so this isn't my personal friend, but we were talking
one day and she's like, you're not gonna believe what happened.
I said, what happened. Her friend went on a bachelorette
trip to like Biloxi or something like that. Well, while
they were on the bachelorette trip, one of the bridesmaids
who was pregnant, went into labor. So since she had
(21:56):
to go have the baby, all the bride they decided, look,
we're all going to go back home and then we'll
I guess, reconvene and do this at another time. So
she came back home. Her husband was not expecting her back,
and when she came in the house, he lit her up.
He shot her multiple but she lived, thank god, I know,
and they're still married from what I understand. So I'm like, oh,
(22:18):
you would never win a fight with me. But again,
if you shot me multiple.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Times, yeah, that's that's a very scary situation. And look,
it happens. Kids come home late at night and their
parents maybe don't expect them, and it's happened. It's your
sad situation. You need to really make sure you see
who it is you're shooting before you shoot. Imagine how
scared that can happen.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yeah, and imagine how scared that roommate must have been
to think that she needed to shoot like her son
must be A.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, apparently.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
All right, let's hey, let's pray for all of them
and say that even the because these kids now their
dad has cancer and their mom is deceased. So in
praiers to that family.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
All right, let's go to back to Louisiana and we're
going to go to New Orleans this time. And I'm
gonna tell you a story that when I came across this,
I'm like, man, this is why I'm not a correctional officer.
Right here, a New Orleans man serving time at the
BB sixty Rayburn a correctional Center, has been sentenced to
(23:20):
life in prison. And you know, not gonna believe what
he did to get it. And I was actually shocked
that he got life in prison for this, although I
do uh, I do understand it. So he assaulted a
correctional officer with human feces. Judge William Garris sentenced thirty
seven year old to Marcus Porter uh after a jury
(23:43):
convicted him a battery of a correctional officer. Testimony showed
that during a security round at Rayburn, a correctional officer
gave instructions to Porter, who ignored the order. Instead, Porter
reached into his toilet, grabbed a handful of feet and
flung it at the officer, striking him in the face,
(24:04):
arm and leg and y'all in the industry they call
that gassing an officer. A second officer was also hitting
the head and shoulder before staff subdued Porter. At the time,
Porter was serving a twenty year sentence stemming from eight
convictions in five separate Ordleans Parish cases, including manslaughter, second
(24:25):
degree battery, aggravated battery, and bringing contraband into a penal institution.
Say not a nice guy, right. His manslaughter conviction was
originally indicted as a second degree murder charge after a
German woman visiting New Orleans was reported missing Her decomposed
body was later found in Armstrong Park with her throat slash.
(24:48):
In addition to these offenses, Porter had prior convictions for
aggravated sexual battery and just a ton of other battery convictions,
multiple contraband violations. But you threw shit in a CEO's
face and he turned twenty years into life.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Well I wonder if he had disease. You know, that's
obviously gonna be the first thing that I would want
to know. But I have walked on a tier. I
have walked on a tier, well actually not even on it,
near it while they were cleaning it after a huge
gassing incident. Shit was splattered on TVs, on walls, and
it smelled all to be damned. Sure, that is the
(25:28):
most disgusting and vile thing. And clearly this dude's an animal.
I'm looking at his picture right now too. Don't even
look nice. And that's judgy, but hey, here I am.
But yeah, I don't think society's missing much by this
guy not being out on the loose.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, he wasn't very you know, very upstaining citizen to
start with, apparently, and so life in prison for him.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Now, see you later, Alligator speaking of alligators, Let's go
to Florida, all right now. According to the Usattorney's Office
for the Central District of California, on the night of
December thirty first, twenty twenty four, twenty nine year old
Jonathan Rinderneck worked as shift as an Uber driver and
drove two passengers on separate trips between ten fifteen pm
(26:15):
and eleven fifteen pm. The passengers reportedly told authorities they
remembered that Rinderneck appeared agitated and angry. Rinderneck, who formerly
lived in the area, allegedly dropped off a passenger in
Pacific Palisades. And I know right now, you said, wait
a minute, I thought were going to Florida. Just hang
in there with me for a second here California, right, well,
it'll make sense, okay, But dropped off a passenger in
(26:37):
Pacific Palisades before driving towards Skull Rock trailhead there, he
purportedly tried to contact a former friend, walked up the trail,
took videos with his iPhone, and listened to a rap song,
which prosecutors said he had listened to repeatedly in previous days.
The music video included things like being lit on fire,
at approximately twelve twelve am on January first, The US
(26:59):
Atorney Office said that the Lackman fire began. Rinder Neeck
reportedly called nine one one several times during the next
five minutes, but didn't get through because his cell phone
was out of range. He eventually connected with dispatchers at
the bottom of the hiking trail and reported the flames,
but by that time and an individual in the area
had already told authorities about the fire. Prosecutors alleged that
(27:19):
rinder Neck drove off, passing fire engines driving in the
opposite directions. He reportedly turned around and followed the fire
engines to the scene, driving at a high rate of speed. Allegedly,
rnder Neck went up to the same trail he did
earlier and observed the fire and firefighters, taking more videos
with his cell phone. According to the US Attorney's Office,
(27:40):
in an interview on January twenty fourth, Reinerneck lied about
his whereabouts to authorities when he first observed the fire,
claiming he was near the bottom of the trail when
he initially saw the fire and called nine one one.
Investigators reportedly obtained geolocation data from Reinderneck's cell phone revealing
that he was standing in a clearing thirty feet from
the fire as it rapidly grew. Authorities said the Palisades
(28:03):
fire was a holdover fire, which is a continuation of
the Lackman Fire that began early in the morning of
New Year's Day twenty twenty five. Firefighters purportedly suppressed the
Lackman fire, but unbeknownst to anyone, the fire continued to
smolder and burn underground within the root structure of dense vegetation.
On October eighth, federal prosecutors announced that Riinderneck, who is
(28:24):
now living in Florida, was arrested on a charge of
destruction of property by means of fire. Reinderneck faces a
mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison and
a statutory maximum sentence of twenty years in federal prison
if he's convicted. Acting US Attorney Bill Esselay said the
complaint alleges that a single person's recklessness caused one of
(28:46):
the worst fires in Los Angeles has ever seen, resulting
in the death and widespread destruction in Pacific Palisades. While
we cannot bring back what victims lost, we hope this
criminal case brings some measure of justice to those affected
by this horrific tragedy. Special Agent in Charge Kenny Cooper
of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Los
(29:07):
Angeles Field Division added the horrific loss and life, life
and property was significantly felt by ATF members, and we
are honored to utilize our expertise to provide answers to
this community. We remain committed to serving with integrity and distinction.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah, and just to give you an idea of how
bad that fire was, y'all, and the fact that this
was essentially started by a guy and a lighter, which
is so crazy. Sixty eight hundred structures burned to the ground,
twelve people were killed, one hundred and five thousand people
(29:45):
were evacuated, and twenty four thousand acres were burned, all
because of this jackass. And you know, we talk a
lot on this show and on our our own crime
podcast about the fact that Google has become a very
(30:05):
valuable tool for law enforcement because it can go back
and track what you were searching. Right after this fire,
they were able to track via Google that this jackass
had searched. Can you go to jail for a cigarette?
Starting a fire. Well tell me that pretty much? Yeah,
(30:25):
I mean, like, that's that's some pretty strong evidence you
probably started the fire.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
The sentencing here, the sentencing here to me doesn't seem
harsh enough. After I went and listened and watched to
some of the accounts, and one stuck with me of
a woman who had I believe he was disabled, a
disabled son, an adult disabled son, and she had to
leave him because she could not physically, she couldn't physically
carry him, and he told her go, mom, he passed away. Yeah,
(30:56):
how does a mother make that decision to leave her
son because she can't physically move him? And he gave
his mother the gift of saying it's okay, you can go.
And I say the gift because you know she'll have
to live with this forever. And then he's just facing
that's nothing. Nothing. He wiped out people's memories in their lives.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Sixty eight thousand different people lost structures.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know, And to put into perspective, if I were
to go and interview one person from every structure and
them tell their story, I couldn't cover.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
That in a year, Right, I agree?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
So you know I have no remorse or no compassion, Right,
now for this guy, I don't know. I just feel
like that's an under under sentencing.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
All right, I agree with you. Let's go to California.
Several people claim that they were victimized by a woman
of targeting elderly men on social media, dating platforms and
apps and burglarizing their homes. The La County Sheriff's Department
identified this suspect as Adva Love, who appeared in Playboy
(32:04):
and Penthouse magazines and claimed to be the first ever
top Israeli OnlyFans model.

years ago. A wild story coming out of the Bayou State.
And Florida, Donna Adelson his sentence for her role in
(00:20):
the murder of her former son in law. In California,
a playboy model is on the run after being sought
for a string of high end burglaries. In Arkansas, a
man whose trial for second degree murder is three months away,
he just announced he's running for sheriff. And guess what
(00:41):
he's likely gonna win. We're going to be talking about
that one. In Pennsylvania, a woman is in prison for
get ready for it, loud sex. These stories and more
we're coming at you today on Crime Wire Weekly. I'm
Jim Chapman and I'm Kelly. I bet you didn't expect
that last one, Kelly Jennis.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I was not ready.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
It's a fact. It happens in the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, God bless her loud sex.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Listen, you heard it here first many ways more than one.
We're silly this morning, y'all. I don't know what it is.
It's we woke up. It was pretty beautiful outside in
South Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's so cool.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, sixty two degrees when I woke up this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
We'll take it.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
We will take it. Now we're going to get into
today's stories. But before we do, Kelly has a little
announcement to make, and she's looking at me like I
have three heads because she has no idea what we're
about to announce. But Kelly, you got a series coming up?
Do you not? Unspeakable? A True crime.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Podcast by Kelly jens I do, and y'all, I have
been working my butt off to make sure that this
is the most detailed, in your face storytelling of South
Louisiana serial killer Derek Toddley.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It is probably the most requested case that she gets,
or one of the most requested for sure to cover.
And this is going to be different than anything you've
ever heard out of Unspeakable, a true crime podcast by
Kelly Jennings, and that is very highly produced. We even
outsourced some production for this one. Not that Jim Chapman
(02:28):
couldn't handle it, but you know, got a lot of
irons in that fire sometimes, so we outsourced some of
the production side of what is going on with this
particular podcast, And we've got a treat for you today.
Right now, you're going to hear the trailer for what Kelly,
what are we calling it? DTL DTL. Here it is.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
In the sultry heat of Louisiana, where the bayous whisper
secrets and the air hangs heavy with the scent of magnolias,
a darkness lurked beneath the surface. Derrick Todd Lee was
a man whose charm masked a sinister reality. He was
a monster. Lee, a seemingly ordinary man with a disarming smile,
led a double life that would unravel in a series
(03:23):
of murders in the capital city of Baton Rouge and
the surrounding areas. As the first reports of disappearances and
murders began to surface, South Louisiana was thrust into a nightmare,
igniting a frantic search for answers. The true horror was
just beginning, and the hunt for a serial killer eventually
known by just three letters, would reveal not only the
(03:43):
depths of Dereck Todd Lee's depravity, but also the resilience
of those most affected by his evil acts, the families,
and the survivors. This is DTL.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
So there you have it. Get ready for it. It's
headed your way, right, Kelly.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That's right. And listen, every victim matters, Every single victim matters,
and so the series is going to give each victim
their moment and so we can learn all about them
and everything that happened in their specific circumstance. So I
hope that y'all will come along for the ride and
that you really enjoy the series.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
That's right, and that will be headed your way November third,
the first episode of that series drop. So let's get
into the crime related headlines for today, and we're going
to start off in Louisiana. Shout out, and I'm going
to tell you about a Zachary man who held up
a region's bank at gunpoint earlier this year, only to
(04:43):
have his plans foiled by a pair of good Samaritans. Well,
he had his pleading with the State of Louisiana on
felony charges Tuesday morning, and this was inside of a
Baton Rouge Federal courtroom. Quarrels Harris, who is fifty two
and are police to charges a bank robbery, possession of
(05:04):
a firearm and using, carrying, possessing, and brandishing a firearm
during or related to the furtherance of a violent crime.
So those are called enhancements. And with those enhancements, he's
facing up to forty seven years in federal lockup on
the charges. If the judge determines he had three prior
convictions for violent crimes, well guess what life sentence on
(05:28):
those three strike laws? And so he had a gun
in his possession while being a convicted felon, which is
yet another charge. Now, Harris's charges stem from a May
eighth robbery at a Region's bank branch on Sherreo Force
Boulevard and Batton Ruage. He stole twenty eight hundred dollars
from tellers after holding employees and customers at gunpoint inside
(05:53):
that bank. But here's the wild thing about this story.
It was a second time Harris had robbed that Kler bank.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, he likes to bank. In one little he.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Walked into the exact same Regions bank in April of
twenty fourteen, pointed a gun at a pair of tellers
and told them, quote, you know what time it is,
give up the money. I mean, you know, that's a
pretty smooth way to rob a bank. You know what
time it is? Yeah, I do with that gun? Boyt
(06:24):
it an't me. I know what you want. Harris pleaded
guilty to first agree robbery in that case. This was
in twenty fifteen. He was sentenced to ten years in
prison for that robbery. So in this most recent robbery,
he stole a two thousand and eight Honda Civic. I
might would have picked a quicker car to still, but
he steals that Honda Civic that he noticed idling in
(06:47):
a driveway near his home. He lived in Zachary. This
was on May eighth. He drove the stolen car two
Regions Bank and walked in the bank. This is just
after ten am, wearing a purple LSU sweatshirt. I mean
he's gotta fly his colors, right. He lingered around in
the lobby near the deposit slips for several minutes until
(07:07):
the teller called him to her window. He then pulled
out a twenty two caliber pistol and a black bag
and demanded money, ordering the teller to quote, give me
everything you got.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
He must have watched a movie or two as a kid.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
He must have, so he didn't say, what you know
what time it is this time, that's what I was
disappointed about. He told the teller she had three seconds
to give him the money and threaten to shoot her
if she put a die pack in the bag. The
teller didn't have any cash in her drawer, so she
begins collecting money from a drive through counter. Harris noticed
the teller in the next lane counting out cash for
(07:42):
another customer, and he bumps that customer out of the way,
and he begins waving and pointing his gun at customers
and employees. Then reached over the counter and snatch the
cash out of the second drawer. The customer that Harris
knocks out of the way. He noticed the gun was
positioned betwe qween Harris and the counter, and Harris wasn't
(08:02):
really paying attention to the gun, so the customer grabbed
the gun. He wrestles Harris to the ground. He managed
to dislodge the weapon from Harris's hands. Another customer picked
up the gun and then slid it across the floor.
The bank employee then called nine to one one and
reported the robbery. During the scuffle and after they disarmed Harris,
(08:22):
the customer wrestled with him on the floor in the
bank's lobby for about seven minutes until police arrived and
took him into custody. That's a while, yeah, to be
on the ground. Yeah, so he must have been you know,
he must have been someone who could handle himself. So,
standing in a West Batterye jail jumpsuit, Harris was subdued
as he answered the judges questions during the hearing, and
(08:46):
the assistant US attorney read the allegations out loud in
the courtroom. The judge asked Harris if he agreed those
were the facts, and he basically said, it's all true.
So you didn't even deny. You know what time it is?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Judge said, you know what time? Oh yeah, prison time now.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Earlier in the preceding, the judge asked Harris if he
was satisfied with the representation he received during the case,
and Harris was very complimentary, and he said, she's been
the greatest person I've ever met as far as an
attorney is concerned. And he's met several attorneys in his time.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
He knows how to compare them.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
That's right. And his public defender incidentally, was Marcy Blaze.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Well, way to go, Marcy Blaze. You have been a
good representation of the people.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You come highly recommended from mister Harris, and he knows
what time it is, so.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I'm I mean a criminal, but he only got a
couple thou I mean, why would you rob it in
the early morning hours. I would want to do the
robbery towards the end of the day when there's more
money hopefully.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I mean, you know bank robbers, well, I guess some
of them don't think it out. He seems like he
was someone that did things kind of sporadically and on
the spurt of the moment. Because he steals the Honda
Civic that was idling. I doubt he woke up that
day and said, I'm going to go look for a
car idling he got out of his house.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Opportunity.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Look at that somebody somebody's letting their air conditioner room
while they're inside grabbing their booksack or something, and I'm
going to take this and go rob it back. But
the same bank.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No, that's the curse the Hodific though, because I had
one in high school and she got me everywhere I
needed to be.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, No, I ain't hating on Honna Civics, but I'm
hating on him for bank robberies. I mean, you know,
get you get.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You know what come it is? You know what is stylish?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Jesus Christ, you got run to Pope.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Actually you actually just need to make sure you can
out fight everyone in the lobby. Yeah, Carby Damp, no doubt.
That is a freaking g you know, a gash you
would be after seven minutes.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That's a lot which you're with your adrenaline and and everything.
So yeah, shout out to him. Didn't say his name,
but shout out to you. You know, you know you are,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Is Take that trophy? All right? So now let's go
to Arkansas where an Arkansas father who allegedly killed a
man he found in a truck with his teenage daughter
is now running for sheriff. Aaron Spencer, who's thirty seven,
announced his plan to run for Lone County Sheriff on
his campaign's Facebook page Friday, October the tenth. Spencer, who
(11:18):
was charged with second degree murder, is scheduled to stand
trial in January of twenty twenty six. He is accused
of fatally shooting Michael Fossler on October eighth, twenty twenty four.
The shooting occurred after the military veteran allegedly found his
fourteen year old daughter in a truck with a sixty
seven year old man. And if you remember we covered
this previously when this first broke we did, yeah, so,
(11:41):
Spencer allegedly told police that Fossler kidnapped his daughter and
lunged towards him when he ordered him out of the truck.
He told police he had no choice. At the time
of the shooting, Fossler was facing multiple charges, including Internet
stalking of a child, sexual assault, sexual indecency with the child,
and possession of child pornography. I'm the father who acted
(12:01):
to protect his daughter when the system failed, Spencer said
in the one minute Facebook video, and through my own
fight for justice, I have seen firsthand the failures in
law enforcement and in our circuit court. I refuse to
stand by while others face these same failures. Spencer said
his campaign to run for sheriff of the department that
arrested him isn't about me. It's about every parent, every neighbor,
(12:23):
every family who deserves to feel safe in their homes
and safe in their community. He said, It's about restoring
trust where neighbors know law enforcement is on their side
and families know that they will not be left alone
in a moment of need.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, and look, I don't know how much people have
followed that story. I can tell you it's one of
the top requested stories that for Exposed I get right
now is to cover this particular case, very very crazy case.
And look, this guy's probably gonna win. Sheriff. Well, the
(12:56):
first time I've ever heard of someone charged with second green.
And I'm not gonna say I'm mad at it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I'm not either. I mean, obviously, this guy's been a
repeat offender to multiple people, multiple families, because he was
already you know, under the scope for other things that
he's done. Sex offenders are known statistically not be able
to be rehabilitated. So he rehabilitated him for him. Yeah,
and he stopped him. And this is the thing, you know,
(13:25):
whenever they go to court on this one, and this
is why. And again I don't have every single detail
of the case. I just have what's been released in
the media. But even if you're the law if you're
the law enforcement officer responding to the scene, you know,
your perception of the events is everything. Whenever a law
enforcement shooting, you know, an officer shoots somebody, your perception
doesn't always have to be accurate. It's just you have
(13:46):
to prove that what you perceived to be the threat
was actually, you know, what you thought was going to happen,
if that makes sense. And this dad, I remember in
our previous coverage of this thought that the guy when
he launched, thought that he had a weapon that he
was pulling. And so I just I'm not sure why
the charges.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Well, I understand the look, anytime someone's killed, there's gonna
be charges brought and they're gonna leave it up to
a judge and a jury to the side.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
But this was an active I mean, his child. I
guess it wasn't an active kidnapping though, was it. I
don't remember. Because the girl was taken from the home
and in the car of this guy. This to me
is just gonna be it is what it is. I
get you go through the through the you know, due process.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, yeah, you have to. I mean, because the guy
was he's not denying he killed the guy. He's just
saying the guy lunched at him. There's there's no video,
so it's they're gonna have to try that through the system.
Because just because the guy says that's what happened doesn't
necessarily mean it happened. I believe him, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
But I'm saying they're gonna an officer is not gonna
(14:51):
bear that responsibility. He's gonna bring it to a district
attorney and say, uh, you decide whether this guy needs
to be charged. And the district attorney would rather charge
him and have a jury find him not guilty than
when you're dealing with a murder. Yeah, just let the
guy roll. But I can tell you the entire state
(15:12):
of Arkansas right now's eyes are on this case. It's
the biggest case in Arkansas well.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And obviously to me, if he's able to even put
his hat, you know, in the in the run for sheriff,
he must not have a criminal record. This father and
the way this.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Guy was a war hero, and look he did what
most fathers would have done.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, I expect that. I hate to say that, but
I expect at the point that a sixty seven year
old man has taken my fourteen year old daughter, he's
a known sex offender. There's no question in my mind
as a parent that that's not.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Good, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I agree with you. All right, Let's go to Mississippi
and a Mississippi man convicted of kidnapping, raping, and killing
a twenty year old community college student. He is set
to be executed. Actually this would have occurred two days ago,
but luck we are in real time right now when
we're recording this, so he's been executed by this point.
(16:06):
But I'm going to tell you what led to this.
Charles Crawford, fifty nine, has been on death row for
more than thirty years. The scheduled lethal injection, which was
surprising because a lot of states are going away from
lethal injection having problems getting the drugs. Apparently Mississippi was
able to do. That comes several months after the execution
of Mississippi's longest serving death row inmate in a year
(16:30):
of increasing executions, Nach Wide. Crawford was convicted of abducting
Christy Ray from her parents' home in northern Mississippi. This
was on January twenty ninth of nineteen ninety three, when
Ray's mother came home her daughter was gone and a
handwritten ransom note had been left on the table. The
same day, a different ransom note made from magazine cutouts
(16:54):
and concerning a woman named Jennifer was found in the
attic of Crawford's former father in law. The note was
turned over to law enforcement, who began searching for Crawford.
He was arrested a day later and said he was
returning from a hunting trump. He later told authorities he
blacked out and did not recall killing Ray. That is
so convenient, so convenient. At the time of his arrest,
(17:16):
Crawford was days away from going to trial on a
separate assault charge that stemmed from an attack in nineteen
ninety one in which Crawford was accused of raping a
seventeen year old girl and hitting her friend with a hammer.
Despite his assertions that he had experienced blackouts and did
not remember committing either rape or the hammer attack, Crawford
(17:37):
was found guilty of both charges and two separate trials.
His prior rape conviction was considered an aggravating circumstance by
jurors in Crawford's capital murder trial for race killing, paving
the way for his death sentence. Over the past three decades,
Crawford tried unsuccessfully to overturn that death sentence. His lawyers
(17:58):
are currently appealing to the US Supreme Court, arguing that
Crawford should be granted a new trial because the six
Amendment rights were violated in his nineteen ninety four trial.
And it goes through I'm not going to read all this,
but it goes through all these appeals that he's made
that they all make when they're getting sentenced to death. Now,
(18:19):
the plain lethal injection was to be the third in
two days in the United States, after executions Tuesday in
Florida and Missouri. A total of thirty seven men have
died by court ordered execution so far this year in
the United States. So there you have that, and they're
really rolling out these executions now nationwide after several years of.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Not being able to really if you can, and then
there was some moratoriums and things that had happened, and
just you know, there's nothing. I think it'd be crazy too.
Sometimes I find people like, hell, yeah, execute them all.
I mean, as a human being, I think that justice
must be served, But I will never be excited about
somebody's execution. I find that kind of bizarre. When people
(19:08):
are that, you know, callous, and that's why they get
all these And again, I'm not airing on the side
of the guy here. I'm just saying what he did
at those victims was callous. But I think this is
how we distinguish ourselves from these monsters. You know that
we weigh and we measure. And that's why I took
thirty years, is because they wanted to give every chance
possible to look through this case. But and that respect,
(19:31):
good riddance, because you're a predator, right and nobody was
safe around you. Yeah, no, good, all right. Now we're
gonna go to Georgia, where a professor and mother of
three children was fatally shot by her roommate who mistook
her for an intruder. Erica Anderson, thirty one years old,
died in a shooting in Columbus, Georgia that authorities have
(19:53):
deemed accidental. Anderson had returned home just after midnight on Monday,
October thirteenth from a with her husband and kids, who
are living in Indiana. Coroner Buddy Brian said that Anderson's
roommate had received alleged terroristic threats from her son, so
when she heard a noise while she slept, she picked
up a gun and fired two shots. The second bullet
struck Anderson. You have to think about the roommate that
(20:16):
shot her. Brian reportedly said, I'm sure she's devastated, as
anyone would be under the circumstances. Anderson had begun work
as a lecturer in costumes in the Department of Theater
and Dance at Columbus State University in August. Prior to
her current role, she taught costumes at Southern Utah University
and the University of Florida. She has worked professionally in
theaters and opera houses across the US, such as the
(20:39):
Sarasota Opera and Utah Shakespeare Theater, and backstage for iatsee
on touring Broadway shows. She sounds like she was a
really talented woman based on what we're hearing here. Anderson's
husband is currently undergoing cancer treatment. Erica had just started
this semester at Columbus State University as a professor in
the theater department. She was so passionate about her work
(21:00):
and her students, and she was truly excited about building
her future with the university community. She had already come
to love and.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I'm yeah, obviously, an accidental shooting horrible. The timing on
that it was apparently the estrange son of her roommate
that was upsetting the roommate, and I guess she thought
her son was going to come in there and do
something to her. I don't know, but she was. Probably
(21:31):
No one feels worse than her. But maybe this happens
more often than people think.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Hey, look I have a friend that her friend. Okay,
so this isn't my personal friend, but we were talking
one day and she's like, you're not gonna believe what happened.
I said, what happened. Her friend went on a bachelorette
trip to like Biloxi or something like that. Well, while
they were on the bachelorette trip, one of the bridesmaids
who was pregnant, went into labor. So since she had
(21:56):
to go have the baby, all the bride they decided, look,
we're all going to go back home and then we'll
I guess, reconvene and do this at another time. So
she came back home. Her husband was not expecting her back,
and when she came in the house, he lit her up.
He shot her multiple but she lived, thank god, I know,
and they're still married from what I understand. So I'm like, oh,
(22:18):
you would never win a fight with me. But again,
if you shot me multiple.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Times, yeah, that's that's a very scary situation. And look,
it happens. Kids come home late at night and their
parents maybe don't expect them, and it's happened. It's your
sad situation. You need to really make sure you see
who it is you're shooting before you shoot. Imagine how
scared that can happen.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yeah, and imagine how scared that roommate must have been
to think that she needed to shoot like her son
must be A.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, apparently.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
All right, let's hey, let's pray for all of them
and say that even the because these kids now their
dad has cancer and their mom is deceased. So in
praiers to that family.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
All right, let's go to back to Louisiana and we're
going to go to New Orleans this time. And I'm
gonna tell you a story that when I came across this,
I'm like, man, this is why I'm not a correctional officer.
Right here, a New Orleans man serving time at the
BB sixty Rayburn a correctional Center, has been sentenced to
(23:20):
life in prison. And you know, not gonna believe what
he did to get it. And I was actually shocked
that he got life in prison for this, although I
do uh, I do understand it. So he assaulted a
correctional officer with human feces. Judge William Garris sentenced thirty
seven year old to Marcus Porter uh after a jury
(23:43):
convicted him a battery of a correctional officer. Testimony showed
that during a security round at Rayburn, a correctional officer
gave instructions to Porter, who ignored the order. Instead, Porter
reached into his toilet, grabbed a handful of feet and
flung it at the officer, striking him in the face,
(24:04):
arm and leg and y'all in the industry they call
that gassing an officer. A second officer was also hitting
the head and shoulder before staff subdued Porter. At the time,
Porter was serving a twenty year sentence stemming from eight
convictions in five separate Ordleans Parish cases, including manslaughter, second
(24:25):
degree battery, aggravated battery, and bringing contraband into a penal institution.
Say not a nice guy, right. His manslaughter conviction was
originally indicted as a second degree murder charge after a
German woman visiting New Orleans was reported missing Her decomposed
body was later found in Armstrong Park with her throat slash.
(24:48):
In addition to these offenses, Porter had prior convictions for
aggravated sexual battery and just a ton of other battery convictions,
multiple contraband violations. But you threw shit in a CEO's
face and he turned twenty years into life.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Well I wonder if he had disease. You know, that's
obviously gonna be the first thing that I would want
to know. But I have walked on a tier. I
have walked on a tier, well actually not even on it,
near it while they were cleaning it after a huge
gassing incident. Shit was splattered on TVs, on walls, and
it smelled all to be damned. Sure, that is the
(25:28):
most disgusting and vile thing. And clearly this dude's an animal.
I'm looking at his picture right now too. Don't even
look nice. And that's judgy, but hey, here I am.
But yeah, I don't think society's missing much by this
guy not being out on the loose.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, he wasn't very you know, very upstaining citizen to
start with, apparently, and so life in prison for him.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Now, see you later, Alligator speaking of alligators, Let's go
to Florida, all right now. According to the Usattorney's Office
for the Central District of California, on the night of
December thirty first, twenty twenty four, twenty nine year old
Jonathan Rinderneck worked as shift as an Uber driver and
drove two passengers on separate trips between ten fifteen pm
(26:15):
and eleven fifteen pm. The passengers reportedly told authorities they
remembered that Rinderneck appeared agitated and angry. Rinderneck, who formerly
lived in the area, allegedly dropped off a passenger in
Pacific Palisades. And I know right now, you said, wait
a minute, I thought were going to Florida. Just hang
in there with me for a second here California, right, well,
it'll make sense, okay, But dropped off a passenger in
(26:37):
Pacific Palisades before driving towards Skull Rock trailhead there, he
purportedly tried to contact a former friend, walked up the trail,
took videos with his iPhone, and listened to a rap song,
which prosecutors said he had listened to repeatedly in previous days.
The music video included things like being lit on fire,
at approximately twelve twelve am on January first, The US
(26:59):
Atorney Office said that the Lackman fire began. Rinder Neeck
reportedly called nine one one several times during the next
five minutes, but didn't get through because his cell phone
was out of range. He eventually connected with dispatchers at
the bottom of the hiking trail and reported the flames,
but by that time and an individual in the area
had already told authorities about the fire. Prosecutors alleged that
(27:19):
rinder Neck drove off, passing fire engines driving in the
opposite directions. He reportedly turned around and followed the fire
engines to the scene, driving at a high rate of speed. Allegedly,
rnder Neck went up to the same trail he did
earlier and observed the fire and firefighters, taking more videos
with his cell phone. According to the US Attorney's Office,
(27:40):
in an interview on January twenty fourth, Reinerneck lied about
his whereabouts to authorities when he first observed the fire,
claiming he was near the bottom of the trail when
he initially saw the fire and called nine one one.
Investigators reportedly obtained geolocation data from Reinderneck's cell phone revealing
that he was standing in a clearing thirty feet from
the fire as it rapidly grew. Authorities said the Palisades
(28:03):
fire was a holdover fire, which is a continuation of
the Lackman Fire that began early in the morning of
New Year's Day twenty twenty five. Firefighters purportedly suppressed the
Lackman fire, but unbeknownst to anyone, the fire continued to
smolder and burn underground within the root structure of dense vegetation.
On October eighth, federal prosecutors announced that Riinderneck, who is
(28:24):
now living in Florida, was arrested on a charge of
destruction of property by means of fire. Reinderneck faces a
mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison and
a statutory maximum sentence of twenty years in federal prison
if he's convicted. Acting US Attorney Bill Esselay said the
complaint alleges that a single person's recklessness caused one of
(28:46):
the worst fires in Los Angeles has ever seen, resulting
in the death and widespread destruction in Pacific Palisades. While
we cannot bring back what victims lost, we hope this
criminal case brings some measure of justice to those affected
by this horrific tragedy. Special Agent in Charge Kenny Cooper
of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Los
(29:07):
Angeles Field Division added the horrific loss and life, life
and property was significantly felt by ATF members, and we
are honored to utilize our expertise to provide answers to
this community. We remain committed to serving with integrity and distinction.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah, and just to give you an idea of how
bad that fire was, y'all, and the fact that this
was essentially started by a guy and a lighter, which
is so crazy. Sixty eight hundred structures burned to the ground,
twelve people were killed, one hundred and five thousand people
(29:45):
were evacuated, and twenty four thousand acres were burned, all
because of this jackass. And you know, we talk a
lot on this show and on our our own crime
podcast about the fact that Google has become a very
(30:05):
valuable tool for law enforcement because it can go back
and track what you were searching. Right after this fire,
they were able to track via Google that this jackass
had searched. Can you go to jail for a cigarette?
Starting a fire. Well tell me that pretty much? Yeah,
(30:25):
I mean, like, that's that's some pretty strong evidence you
probably started the fire.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
The sentencing here, the sentencing here to me doesn't seem
harsh enough. After I went and listened and watched to
some of the accounts, and one stuck with me of
a woman who had I believe he was disabled, a
disabled son, an adult disabled son, and she had to
leave him because she could not physically, she couldn't physically
carry him, and he told her go, mom, he passed away. Yeah,
(30:56):
how does a mother make that decision to leave her
son because she can't physically move him? And he gave
his mother the gift of saying it's okay, you can go.
And I say the gift because you know she'll have
to live with this forever. And then he's just facing
that's nothing. Nothing. He wiped out people's memories in their lives.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Sixty eight thousand different people lost structures.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know, And to put into perspective, if I were
to go and interview one person from every structure and
them tell their story, I couldn't cover.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
That in a year, Right, I agree?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
So you know I have no remorse or no compassion, Right,
now for this guy, I don't know. I just feel
like that's an under under sentencing.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
All right, I agree with you. Let's go to California.
Several people claim that they were victimized by a woman
of targeting elderly men on social media, dating platforms and
apps and burglarizing their homes. The La County Sheriff's Department
identified this suspect as Adva Love, who appeared in Playboy
(32:04):
and Penthouse magazines and claimed to be the first ever
top Israeli OnlyFans model.
