Speaker 1 (00:10):
In Louisiana, police are in the midst of the largest
prison escape in the state's history, and we have up
to the minute details on that escape. In South Carolina,
a woman and her boyfriend are arrested in the murder
of her hairstylists. In Texas, a good samaritan helps a
(00:31):
Houston man move some furniture and makes a shocking discovery.
These stories and more are coming at you today on
the Crime Wire Weekly. I'm Jim Chapman, I'm Kelly Jennings,
and look, we are coming up on Memorial Day, my
favorite holiday out of all the holidays. A lot of
(00:51):
people say Christmas, a lot of people say Halloween. For me,
it's Memorial In some ways, some people have lost touch
with the sacrifice that is required to live in this
beautiful country.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Absolutely, And I'm so proud though that I've grown up
in a family my daddy's a marine, my stepdaddy, but
my daddy's marine, and the.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Stories that I've heard that he's.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Lived through at nineteen years old in the jungles of Vietnam,
carrying back people that didn't make it, but carrying them
back so that they could have a burial. And I
think about what I was doing at nineteen years old,
you know, drunk.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
On a college campus, and.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
What these people have done for us and those that
have given that ultimate sacrifice, there's no way to repay that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I'm actually doing a special episode on the exposed Canalist
files of the Elite, dropping it on Memorial Day, where
I have the absolute honor of covering a hero, someone
who gave their life for this country. I actually spoke
to her family, gold Star family. Means a lot to
(01:59):
be a to tell her story because a lot of
people don't know the stories who these people were outside
of what.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Happened to right, Simplify, I guess I'll say that to
all of those out there that we've built, that we've lost.
And then on Veterans Day, I'm gonna simplify again for
all the veterans who made it home and continue to
live with everything that.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
They went through.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
But I did want to say, take a minute this
Memorial Day and pay homage, if you will, to those
who are not here any longer. Pray for their families. Yeah,
they still suffer. But we'll get into today's episode and Louisiana.
We're going there first, our homestown OLLA, so a man
hunt for ten inmates is still occurring from New Orleans.
(02:44):
They made a brazen escape from a jail last week.
It was one of the largest, if not the largest
such breaks in Louisiana history. Now, authorities at this point
in time when we're recording this episode, they've captured five
of these inmates, but five hours still on the run.
A maintenance worker was actually charged Tuesday with eighty in
(03:06):
that escape. This bolstered suspicions that it was an inside job.
Someone on the inside was involved. Yeah, and from the
beginning they had been saying that it had to be
some help here. Uh. The ten inmates escape from Orleans
Parish Justice Center. This was at around one am on Friday.
(03:30):
They were moved a toilet seat and sink from a
cell where a water supply had been turned off. That
was your clue. Someone on the inside was helping the
inmates cut still bars. They got out through a rectangle
hole in that wall, and they left behind. This is
the part that is absolutely mind blowing. So they graffiti
(03:51):
the wall before they leave, and they had some pretty
interesting messages on there. One of them was this was easy,
laugh out loud. Another one was catch us if you
can I mean, they're taunting police with this graffiti. Now,
police started investigating, and the first day they catch three
(04:13):
of these people, like right off the bat, within that
twenty four hour first day time period. So it looked like, hey,
these guys are all gonna get caught in short order. However,
it got very slow after that. As far as the captures,
they have captured two others five are still on the lease.
And look, these are not people that were in jail
for tax evasion facts. These are almost all murderers. Two
(04:38):
of the ten that escaped had histories of escaping. And
here's the interesting thing to me. kJ they were in
a minimum minimum security wing of that prison, of that jail.
Makes absolutely no sense to me why murderers or people
charged with murder were in a minimum security Those are
(05:00):
the ones you want to keep away from everybody.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, okay, so this is where my mind goes. So
I worked in classification at Angola and so I have
some experience in this, and it makes me wonder if
maybe some of them were there, possibly because they had
enemies in their jacket or enemies in their record, so
they couldn't be housed in the same place, and so
maybe maybe, I mean, it's a stretch. I know it's
(05:24):
a stretch, but maybe if I had to think of
why that.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Would be, maybe that was it.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
But the fact that we've got this many inmates in
the middle of the night, having that much movement is
an absolute atrocity.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Give me a break.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
We could go on and on on this and not
but all summarize. You know, we have lack of funding,
we don't have a lot of people. I'm sure they
had minimum security on staff, probably at night versus during
the day. All of that is a whole nother thing
that you have to argue about funding and everything. But
there should not be any movement at night. And looking
at picture too, and I want to encourage people to
go look at the picture if you're.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Not taking a video from that matter.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Right, But I'm saying the picture of the of where
they escaped from, because if you're not familiar with with
a cell setup, it's not very big and if you
look to the right, you're gonna see bunk beds. It's
just like a script out of prison Break what they did. Literally,
But why in the hell were eleven or ten inmates
(06:25):
in one cell at one time at any point in
the night and nobody noticed that. Plus you have to
do count, okay, and count is a physical inspection of
your inmates, like physical bodies.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And that's the other shocking thing that this story is.
The next count that they did after the escape was
at eight point thirty in the morning, huge break. That's
when they noticed, wait a minute, we're not one off,
we're ten off on our count. Naturally at the time
it was eleven off. But they found out and this
is another problem with this prison. Initially the reports came
(07:01):
out there were eleven people that has had escaped. One
of them never escaped. They didn't realize he had been
moved to another wing of the prison, so they ain't
even known where the prisoners were at that were supposed
to be in prison.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Look, I'm gonna tell you something. In a school, we
take roll every hour.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You know why, because people who don't want to be
there will disappear.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
And go where they're not supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Bathroom.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You're gonna have that, I mean, they should have. The
transfer obviously should have been on the rosters first of all.
Second of all, so your rosters weren't updated and someone
made a movement of an inmate without your.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Knowledge, Like what, yeah, I mean there's a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
How many people that is moving?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, there's I know.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And then I don't know if this is survival of
the fittest or what you want to call it. But
then some of the dumbasses never even made it out
of the quarter. So they were picked up right then.
And by the way, they from Nola to the Gola
because they took them down to Angola now to lock
them up. So have fun there because you had air
condition and everything else where you were. Now you're going
out to Angol where there's no air condition. You screwed
yourself on that one.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
They are still five on the lease. And the biggest
problem with this scenario, folks, is there's witnesses out there.
Some of these cases have not been adjudicated, and there's
witnesses out there set to testify against some of these individuals.
So if they go after people, that's either going to
go after you want to eliminate people that can fingure
you for a murdyr or some sort of other incident.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Absolutely, hanfil A.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
They ketch them and to anybody who's aiding and helping
them in this, shame on you.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Well they're going to go to jailous you need to, Yeah,
you need to.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
So, hey, keep your head on a swivel, Nola.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Well, now let's move on to Texas, where a mother
has been arrested for allegedly buying ammunition and tactical gear
for her son, who she knew was planning a mass
targeted violence at his school. Prosecutors say Ashley Pardo, thirty
three years old, was aware of her son's obsession with
violence and intentionally and knowingly aided his violent goals in
(08:57):
exchange for babysitting his younger siblings. On Monday, the student
showed up to Jeremiah Rood's Middle School in San Antonio
wearing a mask, camouflage jacket, and tactical pants, but left
shortly after. Police said he was later detained off campus.
The mother was arrested the same day after the boy's
grandmother called police to say miss Pardo had bought the
(09:20):
gun for him. On Saturday, the boy's grandmother walked into
his bedroom and found him playing with live ammunition and
a hammer. Police said that the student, who's not been named,
told his grandmother on Monday that he was going to
be famous before leaving for school Prosecutors say that in January,
school officials discovered a map he had drawn of Jeremiah
(09:41):
Roads Middle School labeled suicide route. The student then reportedly
told officials that he had a fascination with past mass shooters,
including their manifestos. In April, he was suspended for using
a school computer to research previous mass school shootings. After
time attended at an alternative school, he returned to his
middle school on May the eighth. Officials say miss Pardo
(10:01):
was aware of the threats made by her son, so
she was charged with one count of aiding and commission
of terrorism. Court records are showing she was released from
custody on Tuesday after posting a seventy five thousand dollars bail,
and is due to return to court on the seventeenth
of July. Police have been increasingly moving to hold parents
accountable for their children's violence.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This kid had a roadmap to it, you know, I mean,
you're looking up school shootings. Yeah, You're looking up people
that have manifestos for school shootings.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah. And all of that took it far enough that
even the school felt it was dangerous enough to send
him to an alternative school. They didn't even want him
on their campus, but they're limited by their rules and regulations.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
He's got to be able to come back because that's
the rules.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That's right, and parents need to pay attention. Well, let's
lighten it up a little bit, and we're going to
go back to Louisiana. Hey, and some people in Louisiana,
and we're going to talk about this. But some people
are screaming there's been a robbery.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Oh god, what happened.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Well, John Foster did not win American Honol. I know,
and it's and it sucks. Super talented guy, and say, look,
everybody in Louisiana, y'all is proud of John Foster second place.
Absolutely no joke in that competition twenty I think they
said something like twenty six million votes just for the finale.
(11:27):
So just to recap what went on and why people
are screaming that this might have been a crime. This
guy is an eighteen year old LSU biology major. He's
from Addis, Louisiana, and folks, if you're not familiar with Addis,
it is right outside of Baton roadge very small town.
He rose to national attention as a kind of a
(11:49):
classic country singer reminded me a lot of George Strait. Ultimately,
he became the second place behind Jamal Roberts, twenty seven,
who is a PE teacher from Meridian, Mississippi, with a
let's just say, amazing voice.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Incidentally, Brian and Nicks, a twenty five year old stay
at home mom from Denton, Texas, also in that running
for that prize. And I'll tell you, wow, what a
beautiful voice she had. Sounded to me like Carrie Underwood,
very very close in voice, and very close in those
high nights as well. She can hit them. We're just
(12:27):
proud as hell that he got there.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I'm so tickled, really, just he's a young man and
he's got it. He's got whatever that factor is. He's
so comfortable in the stage and he sings. It's genuine.
It's believable. And I think there's like a thing about
if you don't win, people who come in second and
third tend to do the best as far as their
careers go. Yeah, so you can't lose in this. Jamal
(12:51):
did great. I love the Disney night.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
He was amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, and shout out man a teacher, a PE teacher
up there just.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Killed me seemingly really good guy, absolutely and.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
A love when good people win. Yeah, you know when.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Good people are all good you know all of those.
I'm sure we're good kids.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Good job guys. All right, well, now let's move on
to Florida. We got all the southern states here just covered.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
It seems like we've got from Texas, Mississippi a go,
I'm telling you so.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
We'll be in Tampa, Florida, where a palliative care doctor
is facing federal charges after allegedly coercing miners to produce
sex abuse material and physically harm themselves. Fifty nine year
old Stephen Leedy is accused of speaking with about ten
juveniles online under the username maximum Uncle number nine one
one two and telling them to take sexually explicit images
(13:38):
of themselves. Leady also allegedly instructed the victims to quote, cut, choke,
and hang themselves in emotion for pre trial detention. Prosecutors
said Lady's victims lived across the country. Leady reportedly never
revealed his true identity on his online social media application,
and when he spoke to the minor victims over video chat,
he maintained a black screen to further conceal his identity.
(14:00):
Prosecutors argued that everything that Leady instructed these minor victims
to do was either physically or mentally detrimental to the victims,
and that he took advantage of children more than half
his age to gratify himself. The US Attorney's Office said
one miner hanged herself in front of her phone in
a manner consistent with Leady's instructions. On November twenty twenty one,
(14:20):
investigators reportedly found communication between the victim and Leady. The
defendant faces three counts of production of child sexual abuse
material and two counts of coercing or enticing a minor
to engage in sexual activity. If convicted, Leady faces up
to life in federal prism. His attorneys said it's particularly
important in moments like this, when someone is being accused
(14:41):
of very troubling allegations, that we afford him the presumption
of innocence. We will be entering a not guilty plea
at the earliest opportunity and look forward to vigorously defending mister.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Leedy in court.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Leady's wife is reportedly the chief administrative officer of the
Juvenile Welfare Board of Panelis County. Statement from the board
said Leady's arrest was a complete shop to all. Leedy
previously worked as chief medical officer at a hospice center
owned by Impath Health. The company said in a statement
that he had not been employed by them for over
(15:13):
ten years, adding while there has been minimal professional interaction
with him since then, he has not been employed by
Impath Health for more than a decade.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I just don't understand even what the freaking motivation is
to be something like that, Like someone's brain works in
a totally different way than I can ever fathom to
encourage anyone to commit suicide. This guy was doing it
to several miners.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
How disgusting you are beyond a horrible individual.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
All right, Well, let's move on to New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Joyzy Joys Baby, the owner of an illicit New Jersey spa,
was busted on prostitution charges after police rated her racy
business and home seizing luxury goods, a Tesla and a
Teddy Bear stuffed with six hundred thousand dollars in cash.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Danie, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Danielle Deenno, forty seven years old, and four other women
were arrested Thursday, when cop stormed Bliss SPA in Edison
in a coordinated takedown following a year long undercover operation.
The probe also targeted Diano's home were detective sees six
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in cash, including the hefty
sum which was sewn inside of that cuddly toy Teddy Bear,
(16:30):
a twenty twenty five Tesla Model Y and Rolex watches.
Authorities also recovered an additional one hundred and four thousand,
three hundred and seventy three dollars from the SPA owner's
bank accounts, making it the largest asset seizure in the
township's history. This operation is a direct result of the
commitment and coordination between departments and agencies that have worked
(16:50):
tirelessly to target and dismantle organized criminal enterprises operating under
the guise of legitimate business. The amount of cash seized
and the elaborate concealment method used show just how sophisticated
and profitable these illegal operations can be. We will continue
our efforts to rid our community of these establishment and
like we said, police also arrested for other women. They
(17:12):
were each charged with engaging in or soliciting prostitution and
released on summonses. It wasn't immediately clear the role the
four women played in the prostitution ring. Deleno was hit
with first degree money laundering, second degree promoting organized street crime,
third degree promoting prostitution, and fourth degree maintaining a house
of prostitution. She was being held at the Middlesex County
(17:34):
Adult Correction Center penning a detention hearing. The SPA's business
license was also suspended after it was slapped with multiple
health code violations. Right the Lewd Joint is the latest
risky racket to close since Edison officials started cracking down
a local establishments with alleged connections to prostitution and narcotics
(17:54):
in twenty twenty two. It looks like I'm in the
wrong business, Jim right, Good lord, that's a lot of casts.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Six hundred thousand in a teddy bear. What an interest
place to hide? Six dollars in cad must have been
a big one, That's what I was wondering. That's got
to be one of those teddy bears. You wanted a fare?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Maybe so?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
But you know, I have a friend that's a canine.
He has a canine, a narcotics dog. And they were searching.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, he didn't know what a dog was.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
He has a canine, narcotics.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Narcotics dog, Jesus.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But they were searching this big business because they they
believed that there were drugs in it.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
But they could not figure these drugs out.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
And the dog was misbehaving because he kept running and
jumping on top of this large bean bag and then
you know, getting comfy in it, and he was fussing
at that dog and fussing out that dog. And then
finally the canine switched up. I guess the alert and
the hand were realized.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
It was like, oh crap.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
So they flipped this massive bean bag over, unzipped it,
and sure enough, chalk full of dope.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Dang, he just thought his dog was jumping on the
bean bag and up. But yes, that's where the dope was.
In a bean bag.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
There you go, shout out to that came out.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Hey, what if it had been sold at a garage
sale and you cut it open and you had all that.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Look, you know what, I've got a pretty funny short
story about that. I bought a buck at a garage
sale one time. Old Buck, I used to really well,
I still like the old antique books with the cool
looking bind me and stuff. And I'd seen one at
a garage shell, bought it, and I mean I put
(19:32):
it on a shelf for like six years, never picked
it up. One evening, I picked it up and I
started thumbing through the pages and stuffed in the middle
of the buck. It was like a ten dollar bill,
but it was from like the early nineteen hundred. No,
it was eighteen late eighteen hundreds, and back then the
dollar bills in the United States had they were very artsy. Yeah,
(19:55):
and ended up being that bill that was stuffed in there.
Sold on eBay for like seven hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Dang you you made a profit that was worth the
garage sale.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Hell yeah, I only paid one dollar for the book.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Well, someone check your books, Yeah, if you buy.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Them from garage sales, because older people back in those days,
that's where they hid their money. Right.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, someone got really lucky out here when we had
a garage sale one year because my mother in law
had put a two carrot diamond in a bag, forgot
about it and sold it for like a buck.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
At a garage sale. Sold the bag the bag with
the diamonds.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Oh wow, yeah, so make sure you don't do that.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Be careful in your book with your with your teddy
bears though, because they might be loaded.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
All right, we're going to go to Texas and we're
going to tell you about a man that was hired
to move furniture at his home. He lived in Houston,
and he made a pretty shocking revelation last Friday, and
that revelation led to the arrest of a murtyer suspect
who chased the over down. This was in a hectic
(21:02):
scene and it actually left the suspect bloode So he
messed with the wrong dude. So let me tell you
what happened.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
FAFO baby.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Harris County sheriff Ed Gonzalez Sudden a statement over the
weekend that authorities arrested Stephen Eberly after receiving multiple nine
one one calls about a dramatic scene that was playing
out near Everly's home in Houston. So, this guy, who
was thirty six years old, had allegedly hired a local
(21:30):
man to help him move furniture at his house. The
man was in the process of helping him move a
heavy box out of his driveway and he noticed a
deceased individual inside the box. I know you didn't. Wait,
I knew you weren't. Oh my god, yep, dead person
inside the box that he and Eberley were attempting to
(21:54):
move so. According to home surveillance video, the man had
jumped back into his pickup truck and he attempted to
flee the scene. After discovering the dead body. Every chased
the man down as he was driving away, reportedly jumping
onto the truck bed and attempting to break the windows
of the vehicle in order to stop that man from
(22:16):
getting away. The scene ended when the man's truck ran
into another vehicle, resulting in Everly injuring and bloodying his head.
Everly was later taken to a hospital for medical evaluation
before being arrested in charge with murder. Harris County inmate
records showed that he still remains in custody on a
(22:37):
two million dollar bond on that murder charge. He was
also charged with tampering with evidence and attempting to take
an officer's weapon because he didn't go quietly the sheriff.
Sheriff Gonzales was quoted as saying, this was a strange one.
You think he added that officials determine the deceased individual
(22:58):
at the home was a contractor who who had been
working on that home. The victim was identified as Lewis
Mendaz and police are still trying to find a motive.
And you can't make that shit up.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Okay, I am going to go out on a limb
here and say that if you're going to murder somebody,
move the body yourself, like hiring a moving which I'm
not making light of it.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Well, this is just an individual. It wasn't a company.
It's just a guy. He said, Hey, can you help
me move this? I'll pay you a few bucks.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Oh, I misunderstood what you said.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
The guy's basically sure, I'll help you in it's heavy.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah. And so we had these people move into our
neighborhood and it was like literally their first day in
our neighborhood and their dog got run over in the highway.
So I thought that I would be really nice and
go get him for them, and I put him in
this rolling don't judge me, but I had this rolling
file box and so I put him in that, and
(23:59):
I cover him nice and neatly with a with a
sheet that I had, and I was rolling him around
the block to say, hey, guys, I'm so sorry, but
you know, would you let me help me bury him
or whatever. Well, the sheet got caught under the wheel,
which I did not know, and as I'm dragging it,
the neighbors were watching me with a bloody sheet and
(24:20):
dead dog.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Legs sticking up straight out of.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
This rolling cart, and they were texting me, but I
did not know because I was rolling the body. Well,
then when I get around to the back of the neighborhood,
frick and sprinklers come on, and so now I'm running
with the dead body because we're getting soaked. I make
it to the front door, I knock and I let
him know, and the lady said, oh, okay, we'll just
do whatever you want with him and shut the door.
And so there I was soaking wet with a dead body.
(24:43):
That was scary enough, and I knew I had a
dead body. I didn't imagine if you just upond just
happened upon. Yeah, I don't know, man. The neighborhood still
makes fun of me for that.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
By the way, I'm sure did they.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Know you at the the neighborhood or then.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Well, the person you brought the no they they didn't
even know you. No, I thought you were a straight
up nut.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
No, but I just I couldn't if my dog was
run over, I would I wouldn't want to just stay there.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I didn't want their kids to see it.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It was at the very front of them, like this
crazy chick like picked up my dad dog and brought
it to me.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Okay, well, it's sweet.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
But if I didn't know you, I think you were Okay,
well I know you. I know you're not nuts.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Well I try.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I rolled him back home to my house by the way,
And I know this sounds creepy, but I made them
a stepping stone with his paw print, and then I
disposed of him and I brought him the stepping stone
and their child.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Loved it, so an extra.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
You are, listen whatever very nice.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Is Everyone gonna think I'm super weird because of this?
Yes they are.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
They probably all would have done the same thing.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Well, it could be worse.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
We could be in Alabama, Okay, where a man has
been charged with the murder of a missing woman who
authorities suspect was intentionally struck.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
By a vehicle. Unlike the dog that was an accident,
she was intentionally struck.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
By the vehicle.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
The Florence Police Department said Tuesday that human remains believed
to be Autumn Page Strickland were found at a home
the thirty eight year old was reported missing over the weekend.
Those remains are going to be sent to a forensics
lab to be analyzed for proper identification, and the suspect,
Logan Rogers, twenty eight years old, is being held at
Lauderdale County Jail without bail pending a court hearing. Rogers
(26:30):
was arrested earlier Tuesday at a home, and Fort said
his initial charge of attempted murder was now upgraded to
murder after Strickland's remains were discovered. She was last seen
on May sixteenth, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said, but
they noted at the time that she may have been
living with a condition that impairs her judgment. Rogers is
accused of hitting her with his vehicle, which is a
(26:51):
twenty twelve Kia Soul, on May seventeenth. He allegedly circled
back after striking Strickland the first time, before hitting her
again with the car. Rogers allegedly came back to the
scene thirty minutes later with a pickup truck and picked
up Strickland's body. Strickland's body was later found to be
in a burn barrel on Roger's property, and it's believed
(27:11):
that that was where he tried to burn her. Now
I'm looking at a picture of her too. I want
you to know.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
She is beautiful. Yeah, Like, she is a beautiful girl.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And she there was a missing person's flyer or you
know that they had posted or whatever. And she's just
got these big blue eyes and long blonde hair and
she's just a beautiful, beautiful girl. Tiny too, five foot
four hundred and ten pounds. So I don't know. It
kind of makes me sad to know that she may
have had some type of mental instability or something like that.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah, well, I mean she shared didn't deserve what she got.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
No, And they don't really say much about what was
going on. I don't know if it was domestic or
if it was.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
You know what it was. He's younger than her by
ten years.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, so they don't really say, you know much about
what that relationship is. But go, Lee man, bad enough,
you run her over, not once but twice, and then.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You're go.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
And burn them. Yeah, that's like some cartel shit. They
call that a geza by the way.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
So I did look some more up on this one
because I felt like there was a little bit lacking
in that article, And it said that their investigation basically
began whenever she was reported missing, and it was initially
thought that she was last seen leaving a Strickland hotel
on what they referred to as Court Street in Florence
right before two am on Sunday. And at the time,
(28:33):
the police thought that she was endangered because of that
condition that she had, and they got multiple tips from
the community, and then as they followed down those tips,
they ended up finding video evidence that led them to Rogers,
and so once they executed the warrant on his home,
(28:54):
that's when they found her body.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Okay, Okay, that makes a little more sense. I didn't
know this was a discard a boyfriend or what. But
apparently this is just a random dude.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
From what they have said.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
But I'm having a hard time believing that there's no
connection between the two and that this was just random.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Well, we're gonna get to Florida. I'll tell you about
a lustful law burker. Lustful, a lustful law burger do taill.
This is gonna be a segment at some point in time.
I can only imagine the music for this one. Get
us Bulcher count Yeah. Well, I'm gonna tell you about
a man that was arrested Wednesday after police say he
(29:34):
was caught on surveillance video committing a leud act inside
of business in Cape Coral, Florida. So according to the
Cape Coral Police Department, officers responded around five fifteen am
to a report of indecent.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Exposure at five point fifteen in the morning.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I'm sorry, PM, did I say am? PM? Folks? Okay,
my bad, the caller said. The man was wearing a
blue jacket, dark shorts, and black and white sneakers, and
he was seen exposing himself inside a store. Police identified
that suspect as Isaiah Rodney, who was nineteen. Surveillance video
(30:14):
show Rodney acting suspiciously in the party supply section. I
mean the party supplied That sounds like, yeah, he's holding
his own party, yeah, literally, while holding a gift bag
in one hand and engaging in eleude act with the other.
He was also seen walking behind several unsuspecting female customers
(30:38):
before quickly leaving and dropping that gift bag, which prompted
biohazard level cleaning.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Oh my gosh, just what it says.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Store employees described the behavior as disturbing and said they
wanted to press charges. The store reported approximately one hundred
and fifty dollars in damaged merchandise and cleaning costs. Literally
had to clean. Yeah. Rodney was later found and arrested
without incident, and he faces one count of indecent exposure,
one kunt of criminal mischief, and property damage count under
(31:12):
two hundred dollars. He was also issued a trespass warning
prohibiting him from returning to that business.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Okay, and this is an issue I have with that
that is clearly a sex offender in the making. That
is clearly someone that I feel should be on some
type of registry.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Well, you can't. You can't say he's a sex offender
in the making. So he has to go on a registry. Listen,
he has to be a sex offender to go.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
On awad Listen.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
That is a sex offense in my humble opinion. And
I can't understand if.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
You're it was in the party supply section, master Baby,
what do you expect to.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Go on in the party Master Okay, well, let me
tell you why I think. Let me tell you why
I think I'm so strongly feeling about this, because.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
It is don't nobody want to see him choking his chicken.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I worked in a prison, okay, and I had an
inmate do that very thing to me while making rounds
on a tier.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Have you ever seen silence of a lane?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yeah, and that's what I went through. So hello, but
I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
But but but you're if you're doing that. But I
take no shit when it comes to people like this,
because if you're willing to do that in a public
place and unsuspecting women, you're coming coming up behind them.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Literally and metaphorically. That's disgusting. And what if it was
your kid?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
He definitely I agree with you he's Had they not
called him, that probably would have led to other things.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
No, it will that behavior. He is ramping up now.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Not to make light of this, but I have to
tell you my sister lives in Texas and they have
not caught this guy still to this day.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
But he was called the isn't it little flasher? And
listen to this. This is true. You can look it up.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Uh, he was running They live in a area where
it's very wooded, the living they call it the Living,
the living forest where she lives anyway, and he would
wear like a trench coat and he would jump out
of the woods and.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Flash women and go look how little it is and
then run away. Okay, all right, hey, it's weird. It's weird.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Define weird, weird.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
I'm telling you it's true. But this guy.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Listen that right there, that will escalate everybody and their
mama should see the writing on the wall there that.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
That's a pervert.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean, he definitely has
some issues and needs to sit down and talk to
somebody about why he feels the need to jug his
chicken in.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Bubblic put your chicken back in its tip sir.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Yeah, stay out of the party supply.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Section, God, stay home, trying the TV leave people alone.

supposed to both say it. Oh sorry, Okay, we still
ain't figured it out, folks, Listenna, try and we'll do
it next time. Later.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
M
In Louisiana, police are in the midst of the largest
prison escape in the state's history, and we have up
to the minute details on that escape. In South Carolina,
a woman and her boyfriend are arrested in the murder
of her hairstylists. In Texas, a good samaritan helps a
(00:31):
Houston man move some furniture and makes a shocking discovery.
These stories and more are coming at you today on
the Crime Wire Weekly. I'm Jim Chapman, I'm Kelly Jennings,
and look, we are coming up on Memorial Day, my
favorite holiday out of all the holidays. A lot of
(00:51):
people say Christmas, a lot of people say Halloween. For me,
it's Memorial In some ways, some people have lost touch
with the sacrifice that is required to live in this
beautiful country.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Absolutely, And I'm so proud though that I've grown up
in a family my daddy's a marine, my stepdaddy, but
my daddy's marine, and the.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Stories that I've heard that he's.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Lived through at nineteen years old in the jungles of Vietnam,
carrying back people that didn't make it, but carrying them
back so that they could have a burial. And I
think about what I was doing at nineteen years old,
you know, drunk.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
On a college campus, and.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
What these people have done for us and those that
have given that ultimate sacrifice, there's no way to repay that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I'm actually doing a special episode on the exposed Canalist
files of the Elite, dropping it on Memorial Day, where
I have the absolute honor of covering a hero, someone
who gave their life for this country. I actually spoke
to her family, gold Star family. Means a lot to
(01:59):
be a to tell her story because a lot of
people don't know the stories who these people were outside
of what.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Happened to right, Simplify, I guess I'll say that to
all of those out there that we've built, that we've lost.
And then on Veterans Day, I'm gonna simplify again for
all the veterans who made it home and continue to
live with everything that.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
They went through.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
But I did want to say, take a minute this
Memorial Day and pay homage, if you will, to those
who are not here any longer. Pray for their families. Yeah,
they still suffer. But we'll get into today's episode and Louisiana.
We're going there first, our homestown OLLA, so a man
hunt for ten inmates is still occurring from New Orleans.
(02:44):
They made a brazen escape from a jail last week.
It was one of the largest, if not the largest
such breaks in Louisiana history. Now, authorities at this point
in time when we're recording this episode, they've captured five
of these inmates, but five hours still on the run.
A maintenance worker was actually charged Tuesday with eighty in
(03:06):
that escape. This bolstered suspicions that it was an inside job.
Someone on the inside was involved. Yeah, and from the
beginning they had been saying that it had to be
some help here. Uh. The ten inmates escape from Orleans
Parish Justice Center. This was at around one am on Friday.
(03:30):
They were moved a toilet seat and sink from a
cell where a water supply had been turned off. That
was your clue. Someone on the inside was helping the
inmates cut still bars. They got out through a rectangle
hole in that wall, and they left behind. This is
the part that is absolutely mind blowing. So they graffiti
(03:51):
the wall before they leave, and they had some pretty
interesting messages on there. One of them was this was easy,
laugh out loud. Another one was catch us if you
can I mean, they're taunting police with this graffiti. Now,
police started investigating, and the first day they catch three
(04:13):
of these people, like right off the bat, within that
twenty four hour first day time period. So it looked like, hey,
these guys are all gonna get caught in short order. However,
it got very slow after that. As far as the captures,
they have captured two others five are still on the lease.
And look, these are not people that were in jail
for tax evasion facts. These are almost all murderers. Two
(04:38):
of the ten that escaped had histories of escaping. And
here's the interesting thing to me. kJ they were in
a minimum minimum security wing of that prison, of that jail.
Makes absolutely no sense to me why murderers or people
charged with murder were in a minimum security Those are
(05:00):
the ones you want to keep away from everybody.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, okay, so this is where my mind goes. So
I worked in classification at Angola and so I have
some experience in this, and it makes me wonder if
maybe some of them were there, possibly because they had
enemies in their jacket or enemies in their record, so
they couldn't be housed in the same place, and so
maybe maybe, I mean, it's a stretch. I know it's
(05:24):
a stretch, but maybe if I had to think of
why that.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Would be, maybe that was it.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
But the fact that we've got this many inmates in
the middle of the night, having that much movement is
an absolute atrocity.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Give me a break.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
We could go on and on on this and not
but all summarize. You know, we have lack of funding,
we don't have a lot of people. I'm sure they
had minimum security on staff, probably at night versus during
the day. All of that is a whole nother thing
that you have to argue about funding and everything. But
there should not be any movement at night. And looking
at picture too, and I want to encourage people to
go look at the picture if you're.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Not taking a video from that matter.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Right, But I'm saying the picture of the of where
they escaped from, because if you're not familiar with with
a cell setup, it's not very big and if you
look to the right, you're gonna see bunk beds. It's
just like a script out of prison Break what they did. Literally,
But why in the hell were eleven or ten inmates
(06:25):
in one cell at one time at any point in
the night and nobody noticed that. Plus you have to
do count, okay, and count is a physical inspection of
your inmates, like physical bodies.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And that's the other shocking thing that this story is.
The next count that they did after the escape was
at eight point thirty in the morning, huge break. That's
when they noticed, wait a minute, we're not one off,
we're ten off on our count. Naturally at the time
it was eleven off. But they found out and this
is another problem with this prison. Initially the reports came
(07:01):
out there were eleven people that has had escaped. One
of them never escaped. They didn't realize he had been
moved to another wing of the prison, so they ain't
even known where the prisoners were at that were supposed
to be in prison.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Look, I'm gonna tell you something. In a school, we
take roll every hour.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You know why, because people who don't want to be
there will disappear.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
And go where they're not supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Bathroom.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You're gonna have that, I mean, they should have. The
transfer obviously should have been on the rosters first of all.
Second of all, so your rosters weren't updated and someone
made a movement of an inmate without your.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Knowledge, Like what, yeah, I mean there's a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
How many people that is moving?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, there's I know.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And then I don't know if this is survival of
the fittest or what you want to call it. But
then some of the dumbasses never even made it out
of the quarter. So they were picked up right then.
And by the way, they from Nola to the Gola
because they took them down to Angola now to lock
them up. So have fun there because you had air
condition and everything else where you were. Now you're going
out to Angol where there's no air condition. You screwed
yourself on that one.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
They are still five on the lease. And the biggest
problem with this scenario, folks, is there's witnesses out there.
Some of these cases have not been adjudicated, and there's
witnesses out there set to testify against some of these individuals.
So if they go after people, that's either going to
go after you want to eliminate people that can fingure
you for a murdyr or some sort of other incident.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Absolutely, hanfil A.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
They ketch them and to anybody who's aiding and helping
them in this, shame on you.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Well they're going to go to jailous you need to, Yeah,
you need to.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
So, hey, keep your head on a swivel, Nola.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Well, now let's move on to Texas, where a mother
has been arrested for allegedly buying ammunition and tactical gear
for her son, who she knew was planning a mass
targeted violence at his school. Prosecutors say Ashley Pardo, thirty
three years old, was aware of her son's obsession with
violence and intentionally and knowingly aided his violent goals in
(08:57):
exchange for babysitting his younger siblings. On Monday, the student
showed up to Jeremiah Rood's Middle School in San Antonio
wearing a mask, camouflage jacket, and tactical pants, but left
shortly after. Police said he was later detained off campus.
The mother was arrested the same day after the boy's
grandmother called police to say miss Pardo had bought the
(09:20):
gun for him. On Saturday, the boy's grandmother walked into
his bedroom and found him playing with live ammunition and
a hammer. Police said that the student, who's not been named,
told his grandmother on Monday that he was going to
be famous before leaving for school Prosecutors say that in January,
school officials discovered a map he had drawn of Jeremiah
(09:41):
Roads Middle School labeled suicide route. The student then reportedly
told officials that he had a fascination with past mass shooters,
including their manifestos. In April, he was suspended for using
a school computer to research previous mass school shootings. After
time attended at an alternative school, he returned to his
middle school on May the eighth. Officials say miss Pardo
(10:01):
was aware of the threats made by her son, so
she was charged with one count of aiding and commission
of terrorism. Court records are showing she was released from
custody on Tuesday after posting a seventy five thousand dollars bail,
and is due to return to court on the seventeenth
of July. Police have been increasingly moving to hold parents
accountable for their children's violence.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This kid had a roadmap to it, you know, I mean,
you're looking up school shootings. Yeah, You're looking up people
that have manifestos for school shootings.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah. And all of that took it far enough that
even the school felt it was dangerous enough to send
him to an alternative school. They didn't even want him
on their campus, but they're limited by their rules and regulations.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
He's got to be able to come back because that's
the rules.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That's right, and parents need to pay attention. Well, let's
lighten it up a little bit, and we're going to
go back to Louisiana. Hey, and some people in Louisiana,
and we're going to talk about this. But some people
are screaming there's been a robbery.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Oh god, what happened.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Well, John Foster did not win American Honol. I know,
and it's and it sucks. Super talented guy, and say, look,
everybody in Louisiana, y'all is proud of John Foster second place.
Absolutely no joke in that competition twenty I think they
said something like twenty six million votes just for the finale.
(11:27):
So just to recap what went on and why people
are screaming that this might have been a crime. This
guy is an eighteen year old LSU biology major. He's
from Addis, Louisiana, and folks, if you're not familiar with Addis,
it is right outside of Baton roadge very small town.
He rose to national attention as a kind of a
(11:49):
classic country singer reminded me a lot of George Strait. Ultimately,
he became the second place behind Jamal Roberts, twenty seven,
who is a PE teacher from Meridian, Mississippi, with a
let's just say, amazing voice.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Incidentally, Brian and Nicks, a twenty five year old stay
at home mom from Denton, Texas, also in that running
for that prize. And I'll tell you, wow, what a
beautiful voice she had. Sounded to me like Carrie Underwood,
very very close in voice, and very close in those
high nights as well. She can hit them. We're just
(12:27):
proud as hell that he got there.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I'm so tickled, really, just he's a young man and
he's got it. He's got whatever that factor is. He's
so comfortable in the stage and he sings. It's genuine.
It's believable. And I think there's like a thing about
if you don't win, people who come in second and
third tend to do the best as far as their
careers go. Yeah, so you can't lose in this. Jamal
(12:51):
did great. I love the Disney night.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
He was amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, and shout out man a teacher, a PE teacher
up there just.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Killed me seemingly really good guy, absolutely and.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
A love when good people win. Yeah, you know when.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Good people are all good you know all of those.
I'm sure we're good kids.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Good job guys. All right, well, now let's move on
to Florida. We got all the southern states here just covered.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
It seems like we've got from Texas, Mississippi a go,
I'm telling you so.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
We'll be in Tampa, Florida, where a palliative care doctor
is facing federal charges after allegedly coercing miners to produce
sex abuse material and physically harm themselves. Fifty nine year
old Stephen Leedy is accused of speaking with about ten
juveniles online under the username maximum Uncle number nine one
one two and telling them to take sexually explicit images
(13:38):
of themselves. Leady also allegedly instructed the victims to quote, cut, choke,
and hang themselves in emotion for pre trial detention. Prosecutors
said Lady's victims lived across the country. Leady reportedly never
revealed his true identity on his online social media application,
and when he spoke to the minor victims over video chat,
he maintained a black screen to further conceal his identity.
(14:00):
Prosecutors argued that everything that Leady instructed these minor victims
to do was either physically or mentally detrimental to the victims,
and that he took advantage of children more than half
his age to gratify himself. The US Attorney's Office said
one miner hanged herself in front of her phone in
a manner consistent with Leady's instructions. On November twenty twenty one,
(14:20):
investigators reportedly found communication between the victim and Leady. The
defendant faces three counts of production of child sexual abuse
material and two counts of coercing or enticing a minor
to engage in sexual activity. If convicted, Leady faces up
to life in federal prism. His attorneys said it's particularly
important in moments like this, when someone is being accused
(14:41):
of very troubling allegations, that we afford him the presumption
of innocence. We will be entering a not guilty plea
at the earliest opportunity and look forward to vigorously defending mister.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Leedy in court.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Leady's wife is reportedly the chief administrative officer of the
Juvenile Welfare Board of Panelis County. Statement from the board
said Leady's arrest was a complete shop to all. Leedy
previously worked as chief medical officer at a hospice center
owned by Impath Health. The company said in a statement
that he had not been employed by them for over
(15:13):
ten years, adding while there has been minimal professional interaction
with him since then, he has not been employed by
Impath Health for more than a decade.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I just don't understand even what the freaking motivation is
to be something like that, Like someone's brain works in
a totally different way than I can ever fathom to
encourage anyone to commit suicide. This guy was doing it
to several miners.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
How disgusting you are beyond a horrible individual.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
All right, Well, let's move on to New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Joyzy Joys Baby, the owner of an illicit New Jersey spa,
was busted on prostitution charges after police rated her racy
business and home seizing luxury goods, a Tesla and a
Teddy Bear stuffed with six hundred thousand dollars in cash.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Danie, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Danielle Deenno, forty seven years old, and four other women
were arrested Thursday, when cop stormed Bliss SPA in Edison
in a coordinated takedown following a year long undercover operation.
The probe also targeted Diano's home were detective sees six
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in cash, including the hefty
sum which was sewn inside of that cuddly toy Teddy Bear,
(16:30):
a twenty twenty five Tesla Model Y and Rolex watches.
Authorities also recovered an additional one hundred and four thousand,
three hundred and seventy three dollars from the SPA owner's
bank accounts, making it the largest asset seizure in the
township's history. This operation is a direct result of the
commitment and coordination between departments and agencies that have worked
(16:50):
tirelessly to target and dismantle organized criminal enterprises operating under
the guise of legitimate business. The amount of cash seized
and the elaborate concealment method used show just how sophisticated
and profitable these illegal operations can be. We will continue
our efforts to rid our community of these establishment and
like we said, police also arrested for other women. They
(17:12):
were each charged with engaging in or soliciting prostitution and
released on summonses. It wasn't immediately clear the role the
four women played in the prostitution ring. Deleno was hit
with first degree money laundering, second degree promoting organized street crime,
third degree promoting prostitution, and fourth degree maintaining a house
of prostitution. She was being held at the Middlesex County
(17:34):
Adult Correction Center penning a detention hearing. The SPA's business
license was also suspended after it was slapped with multiple
health code violations. Right the Lewd Joint is the latest
risky racket to close since Edison officials started cracking down
a local establishments with alleged connections to prostitution and narcotics
(17:54):
in twenty twenty two. It looks like I'm in the
wrong business, Jim right, Good lord, that's a lot of casts.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Six hundred thousand in a teddy bear. What an interest
place to hide? Six dollars in cad must have been
a big one, That's what I was wondering. That's got
to be one of those teddy bears. You wanted a fare?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Maybe so?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
But you know, I have a friend that's a canine.
He has a canine, a narcotics dog. And they were searching.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, he didn't know what a dog was.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
He has a canine, narcotics.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Narcotics dog, Jesus.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But they were searching this big business because they they
believed that there were drugs in it.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
But they could not figure these drugs out.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
And the dog was misbehaving because he kept running and
jumping on top of this large bean bag and then
you know, getting comfy in it, and he was fussing
at that dog and fussing out that dog. And then
finally the canine switched up. I guess the alert and
the hand were realized.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
It was like, oh crap.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
So they flipped this massive bean bag over, unzipped it,
and sure enough, chalk full of dope.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Dang, he just thought his dog was jumping on the
bean bag and up. But yes, that's where the dope was.
In a bean bag.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
There you go, shout out to that came out.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Hey, what if it had been sold at a garage
sale and you cut it open and you had all that.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Look, you know what, I've got a pretty funny short
story about that. I bought a buck at a garage
sale one time. Old Buck, I used to really well,
I still like the old antique books with the cool
looking bind me and stuff. And I'd seen one at
a garage shell, bought it, and I mean I put
(19:32):
it on a shelf for like six years, never picked
it up. One evening, I picked it up and I
started thumbing through the pages and stuffed in the middle
of the buck. It was like a ten dollar bill,
but it was from like the early nineteen hundred. No,
it was eighteen late eighteen hundreds, and back then the
dollar bills in the United States had they were very artsy. Yeah,
(19:55):
and ended up being that bill that was stuffed in there.
Sold on eBay for like seven hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Dang you you made a profit that was worth the
garage sale.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Hell yeah, I only paid one dollar for the book.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Well, someone check your books, Yeah, if you buy.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Them from garage sales, because older people back in those days,
that's where they hid their money. Right.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, someone got really lucky out here when we had
a garage sale one year because my mother in law
had put a two carrot diamond in a bag, forgot
about it and sold it for like a buck.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
At a garage sale. Sold the bag the bag with
the diamonds.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Oh wow, yeah, so make sure you don't do that.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Be careful in your book with your with your teddy
bears though, because they might be loaded.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
All right, we're going to go to Texas and we're
going to tell you about a man that was hired
to move furniture at his home. He lived in Houston,
and he made a pretty shocking revelation last Friday, and
that revelation led to the arrest of a murtyer suspect
who chased the over down. This was in a hectic
(21:02):
scene and it actually left the suspect bloode So he
messed with the wrong dude. So let me tell you
what happened.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
FAFO baby.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Harris County sheriff Ed Gonzalez Sudden a statement over the
weekend that authorities arrested Stephen Eberly after receiving multiple nine
one one calls about a dramatic scene that was playing
out near Everly's home in Houston. So, this guy, who
was thirty six years old, had allegedly hired a local
(21:30):
man to help him move furniture at his house. The
man was in the process of helping him move a
heavy box out of his driveway and he noticed a
deceased individual inside the box. I know you didn't. Wait,
I knew you weren't. Oh my god, yep, dead person
inside the box that he and Eberley were attempting to
(21:54):
move so. According to home surveillance video, the man had
jumped back into his pickup truck and he attempted to
flee the scene. After discovering the dead body. Every chased
the man down as he was driving away, reportedly jumping
onto the truck bed and attempting to break the windows
of the vehicle in order to stop that man from
(22:16):
getting away. The scene ended when the man's truck ran
into another vehicle, resulting in Everly injuring and bloodying his head.
Everly was later taken to a hospital for medical evaluation
before being arrested in charge with murder. Harris County inmate
records showed that he still remains in custody on a
(22:37):
two million dollar bond on that murder charge. He was
also charged with tampering with evidence and attempting to take
an officer's weapon because he didn't go quietly the sheriff.
Sheriff Gonzales was quoted as saying, this was a strange one.
You think he added that officials determine the deceased individual
(22:58):
at the home was a contractor who who had been
working on that home. The victim was identified as Lewis
Mendaz and police are still trying to find a motive.
And you can't make that shit up.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Okay, I am going to go out on a limb
here and say that if you're going to murder somebody,
move the body yourself, like hiring a moving which I'm
not making light of it.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Well, this is just an individual. It wasn't a company.
It's just a guy. He said, Hey, can you help
me move this? I'll pay you a few bucks.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Oh, I misunderstood what you said.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
The guy's basically sure, I'll help you in it's heavy.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah. And so we had these people move into our
neighborhood and it was like literally their first day in
our neighborhood and their dog got run over in the highway.
So I thought that I would be really nice and
go get him for them, and I put him in
this rolling don't judge me, but I had this rolling
file box and so I put him in that, and
(23:59):
I cover him nice and neatly with a with a
sheet that I had, and I was rolling him around
the block to say, hey, guys, I'm so sorry, but
you know, would you let me help me bury him
or whatever. Well, the sheet got caught under the wheel,
which I did not know, and as I'm dragging it,
the neighbors were watching me with a bloody sheet and
(24:20):
dead dog.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Legs sticking up straight out of.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
This rolling cart, and they were texting me, but I
did not know because I was rolling the body. Well,
then when I get around to the back of the neighborhood,
frick and sprinklers come on, and so now I'm running
with the dead body because we're getting soaked. I make
it to the front door, I knock and I let
him know, and the lady said, oh, okay, we'll just
do whatever you want with him and shut the door.
And so there I was soaking wet with a dead body.
(24:43):
That was scary enough, and I knew I had a
dead body. I didn't imagine if you just upond just
happened upon. Yeah, I don't know, man. The neighborhood still
makes fun of me for that.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
By the way, I'm sure did they.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Know you at the the neighborhood or then.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Well, the person you brought the no they they didn't
even know you. No, I thought you were a straight
up nut.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
No, but I just I couldn't if my dog was
run over, I would I wouldn't want to just stay there.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I didn't want their kids to see it.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It was at the very front of them, like this
crazy chick like picked up my dad dog and brought
it to me.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Okay, well, it's sweet.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
But if I didn't know you, I think you were Okay,
well I know you. I know you're not nuts.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Well I try.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I rolled him back home to my house by the way,
And I know this sounds creepy, but I made them
a stepping stone with his paw print, and then I
disposed of him and I brought him the stepping stone
and their child.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Loved it, so an extra.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
You are, listen whatever very nice.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Is Everyone gonna think I'm super weird because of this?
Yes they are.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
They probably all would have done the same thing.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Well, it could be worse.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
We could be in Alabama, Okay, where a man has
been charged with the murder of a missing woman who
authorities suspect was intentionally struck.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
By a vehicle. Unlike the dog that was an accident,
she was intentionally struck.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
By the vehicle.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
The Florence Police Department said Tuesday that human remains believed
to be Autumn Page Strickland were found at a home
the thirty eight year old was reported missing over the weekend.
Those remains are going to be sent to a forensics
lab to be analyzed for proper identification, and the suspect,
Logan Rogers, twenty eight years old, is being held at
Lauderdale County Jail without bail pending a court hearing. Rogers
(26:30):
was arrested earlier Tuesday at a home, and Fort said
his initial charge of attempted murder was now upgraded to
murder after Strickland's remains were discovered. She was last seen
on May sixteenth, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said, but
they noted at the time that she may have been
living with a condition that impairs her judgment. Rogers is
accused of hitting her with his vehicle, which is a
(26:51):
twenty twelve Kia Soul, on May seventeenth. He allegedly circled
back after striking Strickland the first time, before hitting her
again with the car. Rogers allegedly came back to the
scene thirty minutes later with a pickup truck and picked
up Strickland's body. Strickland's body was later found to be
in a burn barrel on Roger's property, and it's believed
(27:11):
that that was where he tried to burn her. Now
I'm looking at a picture of her too. I want
you to know.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
She is beautiful. Yeah, Like, she is a beautiful girl.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And she there was a missing person's flyer or you
know that they had posted or whatever. And she's just
got these big blue eyes and long blonde hair and
she's just a beautiful, beautiful girl. Tiny too, five foot
four hundred and ten pounds. So I don't know. It
kind of makes me sad to know that she may
have had some type of mental instability or something like that.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah, well, I mean she shared didn't deserve what she got.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
No, And they don't really say much about what was
going on. I don't know if it was domestic or
if it was.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
You know what it was. He's younger than her by
ten years.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, so they don't really say, you know much about
what that relationship is. But go, Lee man, bad enough,
you run her over, not once but twice, and then.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You're go.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
And burn them. Yeah, that's like some cartel shit. They
call that a geza by the way.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
So I did look some more up on this one
because I felt like there was a little bit lacking
in that article, And it said that their investigation basically
began whenever she was reported missing, and it was initially
thought that she was last seen leaving a Strickland hotel
on what they referred to as Court Street in Florence
right before two am on Sunday. And at the time,
(28:33):
the police thought that she was endangered because of that
condition that she had, and they got multiple tips from
the community, and then as they followed down those tips,
they ended up finding video evidence that led them to Rogers,
and so once they executed the warrant on his home,
(28:54):
that's when they found her body.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Okay, Okay, that makes a little more sense. I didn't
know this was a discard a boyfriend or what. But
apparently this is just a random dude.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
From what they have said.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
But I'm having a hard time believing that there's no
connection between the two and that this was just random.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Well, we're gonna get to Florida. I'll tell you about
a lustful law burker. Lustful, a lustful law burger do taill.
This is gonna be a segment at some point in time.
I can only imagine the music for this one. Get
us Bulcher count Yeah. Well, I'm gonna tell you about
a man that was arrested Wednesday after police say he
(29:34):
was caught on surveillance video committing a leud act inside
of business in Cape Coral, Florida. So according to the
Cape Coral Police Department, officers responded around five fifteen am
to a report of indecent.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Exposure at five point fifteen in the morning.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I'm sorry, PM, did I say am? PM? Folks? Okay,
my bad, the caller said. The man was wearing a
blue jacket, dark shorts, and black and white sneakers, and
he was seen exposing himself inside a store. Police identified
that suspect as Isaiah Rodney, who was nineteen. Surveillance video
(30:14):
show Rodney acting suspiciously in the party supply section. I
mean the party supplied That sounds like, yeah, he's holding
his own party, yeah, literally, while holding a gift bag
in one hand and engaging in eleude act with the other.
He was also seen walking behind several unsuspecting female customers
(30:38):
before quickly leaving and dropping that gift bag, which prompted
biohazard level cleaning.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Oh my gosh, just what it says.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Store employees described the behavior as disturbing and said they
wanted to press charges. The store reported approximately one hundred
and fifty dollars in damaged merchandise and cleaning costs. Literally
had to clean. Yeah. Rodney was later found and arrested
without incident, and he faces one count of indecent exposure,
one kunt of criminal mischief, and property damage count under
(31:12):
two hundred dollars. He was also issued a trespass warning
prohibiting him from returning to that business.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Okay, and this is an issue I have with that
that is clearly a sex offender in the making. That
is clearly someone that I feel should be on some
type of registry.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Well, you can't. You can't say he's a sex offender
in the making. So he has to go on a registry. Listen,
he has to be a sex offender to go.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
On awad Listen.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
That is a sex offense in my humble opinion. And
I can't understand if.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
You're it was in the party supply section, master Baby,
what do you expect to.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Go on in the party Master Okay, well, let me
tell you why I think. Let me tell you why
I think I'm so strongly feeling about this, because.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
It is don't nobody want to see him choking his chicken.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I worked in a prison, okay, and I had an
inmate do that very thing to me while making rounds
on a tier.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Have you ever seen silence of a lane?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yeah, and that's what I went through. So hello, but
I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
But but but you're if you're doing that. But I
take no shit when it comes to people like this,
because if you're willing to do that in a public
place and unsuspecting women, you're coming coming up behind them.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Literally and metaphorically. That's disgusting. And what if it was
your kid?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
He definitely I agree with you he's Had they not
called him, that probably would have led to other things.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
No, it will that behavior. He is ramping up now.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Not to make light of this, but I have to
tell you my sister lives in Texas and they have
not caught this guy still to this day.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
But he was called the isn't it little flasher? And
listen to this. This is true. You can look it up.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Uh, he was running They live in a area where
it's very wooded, the living they call it the Living,
the living forest where she lives anyway, and he would
wear like a trench coat and he would jump out
of the woods and.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Flash women and go look how little it is and
then run away. Okay, all right, hey, it's weird. It's weird.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Define weird, weird.
Speaker 3 (33:14):

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Listen that right there, that will escalate everybody and their
mama should see the writing on the wall there that.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
That's a pervert.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean, he definitely has
some issues and needs to sit down and talk to
somebody about why he feels the need to jug his
chicken in.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Bubblic put your chicken back in its tip sir.
