I'm Jim Chapman.

I'm still Kelly Jennings.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
You are still Kelly Jennings. How was your Thanksgiving? Kelly?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Fantastic? I gobbled till I wobbled and and.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Then wobbled in here, I did very good, very good. Well,
we'll jump right into it today and we're going to
start off with yet another update. It seems like we've
updated you for the past three weeks on this case.
Of course, we're talking about Anna Kepner, and a cause
of death for the Florida teen who was found dead
(01:35):
on a Carnival cruise ship earlier this month has been revealed.
ABC News reported Friday that Kepner died of bi asphyxiation
resulting from a bar hold, which is a term for
holding an arm across the neck. Investigators found two bruises
on the sides of her neck as well. The Miami
(01:58):
Dade Medical Examiner has not released as of this recording,
unofficial cause of death and preliminary information found there that
there were no signs of sexual assault and there weren't
any apparent drugs or alcohol in captainer's system. Autopsy and
toxicology toxicology toxicology, Toxicut thank you reports have not been
(02:23):
officially released. The eighteen year old high school cheerleader from Titusville, Florida,
was found dead while aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship.
Her body was found by a housekeeper under the bed
in her state room on the ship which returned to
Port Miami. This was on Saturday, November eighth, and news
of Captainer's cause of death comes days after an unrelated
(02:45):
family court case, and this filing suggested a minor may
face criminal charges in the eighteen year old death. The
disclosure appears in an emergency motion submitted in a divorce
case Involving's stepmother, Sean Tell Hudson. In the motion, which
requested a delay in a custody hearing, Hudson's attorneys wrote
(03:08):
that she may she has been told by FBI investigators
that quote, a criminal case may be initiated against one
of her minor children related to Captainer's death. Captainer was
reportedly on the cruise ships Caribean Voyage with her father, stepmother,
and step siblings when she went missing. As of Friday,
(03:30):
no one has been charged in the case, and there
had been no arrests linked to the teen's death. Few
official details about her death have been released publicly. In
following the news, Carnival did release a statement of course
you know, wishing their condolences, et cetera, saying their focus
is on supporting the family of the guests and cooperating
(03:53):
with the FBI, but a little more information in the
case has been discovered. Unfortunately, I feel like we're no
further along than we were three weeks ago, other than
we know that foul play was.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Involved, right and now did see also that the grandparents
that were on the cruise with them have actually spoken
out now to ABC News, and it said that they
were going this cruise was supposed to be like a
new family tradition because the parents were now you know,
newly married, and this was going to be a blended
family type thing, and they were just baffled. They're talking
(04:27):
about how they were having a great time and that
the kids were you know, going to be in one
room while the adults, I guess we're in a bigger room.
But they'd been told, look, if y'all aren't getting along
for any reason or whatever, then you know, we have
the other room and you can you can come over here.
But they really just seem like, you know, they said
there's an extra bed in the adult room, so if
there was an argument, they could So maybe there was
(04:48):
a history of them fighting if that were the case,
but this even the grandparents are just like, you know,
these kids cared about each other, and they don't want
to accuse their new I guess steps on or whatever
our grandson of doing this, but they just seem not.
They seem just as dumbfounded as the rest of us
of how this could have gotten where it is.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, yeah, well, we'll keep you updated on it for sure.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Wild Yeah all right. Well, let's go to Canada and
a former Canadian police sergeant has pled guilty to using
a law enforcement database to pursue intimate relationships with around
thirty women, including several victims of domestic violence. Fifty three
year old Robert Eric Sieamanchuck and no, I did not
make up that last name. That's unfortunate. That is unfortunate,
(05:35):
a twenty two year veteran fortunate. Yeah, a twenty two
year veteran of the Regina Police Service in Saskatchewan, pled
guilty to one charge of breach of trust and one
charge of unauthorized use of a computer on Friday, November
twenty first. The Police Service claimed that in March, when
Seaman Chuck was charged that y'all, my dad's name is Chuck.
This name is just I can't handle it, oh my god. Anyway,
(05:58):
the former had access protected information to find contact and
pursue relationships with these women, some of whom had no
idea he was even a police officer. The number of
women involved in this case may be as much as thirty.
Semenchuck allegedly we use an alias including the names Jay
Lewis or Steve Perkins, and send a text message to
(06:19):
the women saying that he was a contractor or project manager.
The conversation would then turn into constant messaging over a
lengthy period, sometimes years and one woman, who was only
identified using a K like the letter K, said that
she received an unusual message while she was staying in
a women's shelter and was recovering from domestic abuse. She
said that the text felt like a lifeline at a
(06:40):
low point, and they continued texting for four years before
eventually she began questioning him in twenty twenty three. I
was like, do I really know this guy? She said.
She added that she ran a photo he had sent
her through facial recognition software and it returned an image
of Siemenchuck with police gear. Describe the feeling everything that
(07:02):
went through my head in that moment, she said. One
of the first things that hit me was fear. Fear
of this person, his power and what he could do.
Kay then contacted police, which triggered an internal investigation that
lasted for two years. Another woman simply identified as the
letter C in the article said that she received a
message from a man calling himself Steve, and that their
(07:22):
relationship lasted for more than one year. I was eighteen
years old trying to find someone, and I didn't know
how to go about it, she told the outlet, recalling
how Steve eventually became controlling and demanding in their conversations.
He was sex crazed, she said, describing how he consistently
pressured her to send him explicit photos. How did he
know who I was? Why did he choose me? These
(07:44):
were all things that she was questioning when Siemenschak, who
had been honored with policing awards over the course of
his two year career, was charged in March. Then police chief,
I think it's Faruk chic shake? Is it shake?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Shake?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
All right? Faruk Shake said that he had resigned from
the force effective April twenty first. Regina Police has since
announced new policies to ensure incidents like this can't happen again.
The policies now include an auditing process, additional training, and
a message that reminds anyone accessing the database that the
information is for investigative purposes only. A judge set semen
(08:19):
Chuck's sentencing date for January twenty third, and as many
as twenty victim impact statements are expected to be heard
during that hearing.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, and seman Chuck's in some trouble for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And I'll tell you one thing that surprised me about
this is these police officers. If anybody know that what
they're searching through police databases is trackable, Yeah, traceable. This
happens more often than people think, and they get caught
I most every time. And yet these police officers still
(08:53):
do it. You can't just randomly see acute girland a
Mercedes and run or play right.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah. And whenever I was trained in our software out
here when I was doing law enforcement, they were very
clear in our trainings that every step you take, you know,
will be tracked. And then they were very specific. I
remember them saying, also, don't forget you cannot search celebrities,
you cannot search the president, you can't do anything like that,
(09:20):
because obviously that's going to throw up a red flag.
Nor should you be doing that out of just integrity,
you know, that's frowned upon. And this the fact that
he was the personality that these women alleged that he was,
and then to abuse your power in that manner for
domestic violence victims tells me you were looking for a
targeted type of victim, someone you thought you could control.
(09:42):
It's disgusting, it really is.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And even in Canada, you know, they got laws and
they got yeah, they're rules which are very similar to
the United States. And it looks like he's going to be.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's captain obvious stuff though. Shame on him. Shame on him.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
All right, let's go to California and look this guy,
famous rapper. His name is written D four VD, which
is actually David. That's how he says, David. He's a
very famous rapper and he's in a lot of trouble
right now because of the case of Celeste Revis Hernandez.
(10:22):
So I'm going to catch you up on this. More
than two months after the body of fourteen year old
Celeste Hernandez Revis Hernandez was discovered partially this membered in
a vehicle, new details reveal her body was reportedly found
partially frozen. On September eighth, The girl's body was found
(10:42):
after employees at Hollywood two reported a foul udor coming
from a Tesla suv which you've been on the lot
for five days after it was reported abandoned in the
Hollywood Hills. The Tesla and Texas plates were rushed through
to David Anthony Burke, twenty r and B, musician known
as D four VD or David It's actually David in
(11:06):
just a weird spelling with millions of fans and followers.
The girl's decomposing body parts include a head and torso,
had apparently been thawed inside the front trunk when the
grizzly discovery was made. The Tesla has parked on what's
known as Bluebird Avenue, not far from the Hollywood Hills
(11:26):
rental home that Burke was living in before it was towed.
LAPD detectives later served a search warrant at the home,
where several pieces of evidence were seized. On November eighteenth,
LAPD sources said that Burke was considered a suspect in
Revis Hernandez death. The teen had been missing from Lake
(11:47):
Elsinore since April of twenty twenty four, when she was
just thirteen. The potential relationship between her and Burke had
been a critical part of that investigation, with images surfacing
on line appearing to show the two together. The girl's
mother had told investigators she had a boyfriend named David
at the time of her disappearance. The two reportedly have
(12:10):
matching tattoos on their right index fingers with the letters
SHH and Burt circle also reportedly believed Ravera is her name,
as was nineteen years old, so he wasn't telling his
friends the real age.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You couldn't tell a fourteen year old from a nineteen
year old.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
May may not.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Some people look very old and started at that age.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Well, I'm just telling you what his friends that. Following
the grisome discovery, Burt canceled the remainder of his US
and European tour dates and shelved an album release. He
is allegedly not cooperating with investigators and has not commented
on the investigation or his alleged relationship ties to the team.
Detectives are also investigating whether the killer helped dismembering and
(12:59):
display of the teen's body, based on the manner in
which Celeste's body was dismembered. The investigators believe it's very
likely whoever did it to her had help. Investigators are
looking into a trip Burt made to a remote area
of Santa Barbara in spring of twenty twenty five in
the middle of the night, where he spent several hours.
(13:20):
Investigators are also looking closely at that journey and believe
it may be connected to whatever happened to Celeste. The
teen's body was discovered the day after her fifteenth birthday,
but La County Medical Examiner's office set or death likely
happened a week earlier. Weeks earlier. In the frozen state
of the body is why they're having trouble establishing the
(13:43):
time frame of her death.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, so I'm just unimpressed so far with all the details.
How old is he? Do you know how old? This David
guy is? No too old regards movie? Yeah, I mean
too old to be even entertaining a fourteen year old girl.
I don't care what people thought, that's irrelevant. If you've
been alive on this earth, you know a fourteen year
old is not a nineteen year old once they start
(14:06):
speaking with you. And so obviously he thought that that
she was disposable and you know this is going to
turn out I think exactly like we think it will.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
And uh, he's years old.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah so what so he's nineteen with a thirteen year like,
come on, bro, you know better. And we're getting tattoos
at thirteen?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Now?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Is that what we're doing? Matching tattoos with thirteen year
old I'm just unimpressed, I guess is what I'm telling
you sound like a Karen totally unimpressed. And I think
that she was missing what would we say, a week
at least?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Oh? No, she had been missing since twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
No, but I'm saying they think she's been dead. I'm
sorry for at least a week weeks okay weeks, and
you have matching tattoos and you never called and reported
her missing. You're supposedly dating her. Uh, your friends don't
know hold she is, but you never called and reported
her missing. We call that a clue. Yeah, yeah, that's terrible.
And where you know nobody was looking for this child?
That makes me it's very sad for her.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
They just couldn't find it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I just didn't know where she was. That makes me said,
then you're enabling and a betting and taking a child,
you know what I'm saying, and knowing that she's not
in contact with her parents or people that love her. No,
but when she was alive because it was a year right, yeah, roughly, yeah,
shame for shame. I know we don't have all the details,
but I think that's going to turn out exactly like
it sounds terrible, all right, now, this one's horrible too.
(15:26):
And these teenagers man, but police are currently searching for
Morgan Geyser, one of the girls involved. Do y'all remember
that twenty fourteen Slenderman inspired stabbing that happened and it
was just terrible based on this fake person or whatever.
If you kill somebody that shows up, Well, Morgan Geyser
is now missing. So she's now twenty two and she
(15:48):
was at a group home in Madison, Wisconsin when she
cut off her Department of Corrections monitoring bracelet, per a
statement from the Madison Police Department that they shared on
Facebook on Sunday, November twenty third, Geyser was last scene
on Saturday, November twenty second, in the area of Kronkie
or Kronk Drive around eight pm with an adult acquaintance.
(16:08):
Police said that her whereabouts are currently unknown and that
the MPD was notified of her disappearance on Sunday morning. Now,
the MPD shared a recent image of Guyser captured on
security video, and as to anyone who sees her to
please call nine one one. In an emailed statement to
People the magazine, MPD said Geyser had yet to be
located at the time of writing, but that the department
(16:29):
will investigate every community tip or siding reported to us SO.
In twenty fourteen, Geyser and another friend her name was
Anissa Wire, they lured their classmen Peyton Lutner into the
woods during a sleepover while playing a game of hide
and seek in their Milwaukee suburb. Geyser then stabbed Lutner
nineteen times while Wire cheered her on. Lutner survived the
(16:52):
attack and was rescued by a passer by whenever she
crawled her weight into a nearby bike path. All of
the girls were twelve years old at the time that
this took place. Geyser and Wire said that they committed
the crime to please the mythical figure Slenderman, who they
believed was real at the time. The Slenderman character is
believed to have originated from a two thousand and nine
(17:13):
illustration of a tall, thin man with tentacle like arms
and magical abilities that circulated around the internet via horror stories.
Both Geyser and Wire were charged with first degree intentional
homicide and were tried as adults despite their ages. Both
girls were eventually found not guilty by reason of mental
disease or defects and were committed to psychiatric facilities. Then,
(17:37):
in January, eleven years after the attack, it was announced
that Geyser would be released from her psychiatric care facility,
following expert testimony claiming that she had made noticeable progress
during her time there. Per the Associated Press, the judge
ordered Wisconsin's Department of Health Services to house her in
a group home as a condition of her release. Wire
(17:59):
was least in twenty twenty one, after being housed for
nearly four years at the same facility as Geyser.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Pretty crazy, and I'll tell you how the hell she
is missing is one of the scariest things you can
have out there. There's no telling them what she has
playing next. She's absolutely insane and even the court said that,
which is why she's even out. If I was the
(18:29):
girl that was stabbed nineteen times. I'd be scared to
death right.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Now, Yeah, I would, because you don't know what's going
on in that freaking dome of this woman or a
woman now twenty two years old, and cut her you
obviously know right from wrong, and that you take the
ankle bracelet off. It's not like she just ran off
and she's crazy. No, she thought this through. She's criminally
crazy and she cut it off. So yeah, I hope
they find her sooner than later because that would be
(18:55):
very scary and worrisome for me.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
One hundred percent. Let's go to Oklahoma and we're going
to talk about an elementary school teacher from Oklahoma who
is dead after her family says she was served a
margarita at a Mexican restaurant that had industrial grade degreaser
in it. So, Holly Hill was a beloved teacher at
Elgin Public Schools and she was an alumni of that
(19:20):
school in Oklahoma. She died last week and the Oklahoma
State Bureau of Investigation is investigating her death as suspicious,
but findings have not been released. Hill's mother, Kelly Hunter,
said her daughter's life changed forever two and a half
years ago when she visited Hacienda Las Margaritas in Elgin.
(19:42):
The allegations are highlighted in the lawsuit. Hunter said her
daughter was served to margarita that was made with industrial
degrees or that contained lie, and that lie damaged her
esophagus to the point that her daughter had been fighting
for her life for two and a half years. She
spent a week in the hospital, but it took more
(20:03):
than twelve weeks to keep her esophagus open. Quote. I've
really started to worry when my baby girl woke up
and I had to tell her she couldn't eat or
drink anything for thirty days. She'd be upset, but she
smiled at me and said, I can do that. After
she is believed to have finally recovered, he'll returned to
(20:23):
her normal life as an elementary school teacher and a
bus driver. As usual, she got up and went to
work because her kids needed her, her mother said, But recently,
while hell was at work, she began to feel well
and spiked of fever. She decided to finish her day
at home in bed and planned to go to the
hospital in the morning, but overnight, her mother received a
(20:45):
tragic phone call from her daughter, quote about eleven excuse me,
about one point eighteen am. She called me and she
was gasping for breath and telling me she couldn't breathe
and needed help. Hunter said she then rushed to her
daughter to help her. Quote, she told me, I'm dying, mom,
but I need you to know I love y'all. And
(21:05):
I said, You're not gonna die, baby girl. You're too
strong for that. Hill's husband was on the phone with
nine one one operators when she lost her pulse, and
that's when Hunter stepped in and started CPR. She said
she didn't know how long she did CPR, but it
seemed like forever. When first responders arrived, Hunter thought her
daughter was gonna be okay because she did get her
(21:27):
pulse back, but he'll lost that pulse again when first
responders tried to move her, and this time she was
unable to be revived. Her mother said she sat there
and watched her baby die right in front of her.
Her heart broke and that's not even scratching the surface. Now,
hasienda lost? Maganitas confirmed the drink that was served to
(21:47):
Hill in February of twenty twenty three UH was the
drink with the lie in it and called it unfortunate
and isolated. In a statement posted to social media, the
restaurant said it can assaulted with the Oklahoma State Department
of Health, and afterward it implemented new training and safety safeguards.
(22:08):
So there's been no criminal charges yet, it's just civil
charges because apparently this they're having trouble proving this was
an intentional thing. They're thinking the degrees are in Kelly
is looking at me like I'm crazy, But there's a
lot of degrees are in those kitchens. Something could have
fell over and somebody didn't notice it, or they went
to clean something and use the same rag to dry
(22:31):
out the glass. I'm not saying they weren't criminally responsible,
but it doesn't necessarily mean it's intentional that it had
degrees are in it.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah. I just have a hard time believing it would
be one isolated incident if it was not someone doing
something stupid just thinking it might be funny. I just
personally don't see that.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
See I see at the opposite. I see it because
it was an isolated incident and it only happened one time.
It could have possibly been an absolute accident.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, but the amount and that's okay. This is where
my brain went since we're kind of going there, I
guess is that I kind of looked it up because
I wanted to see what, you know, poison control and
how does it work. And you would have to have
enough in your system to cause these types of problems.
So it had to be more than a rag. It
had to be enough. It had to be it had
to be enough in there too, like gulp, you know
what I mean? Like, because this is saying that it causes,
(23:20):
you know, breathing difficulty, Your throat will swell. It talks
about the blood pressure problems, and then your blood can
actually become too acidic, which in and of itself will
cause more compound problems. So I you know, my mind
would be more inclined to think that some younger person
thought this would be funny important. Yeah, I know, we
(23:40):
don't know, you don't know, but this is just what
a downhill battle, you know, suffering, this is, this is
this is terrible. And you expect people to handle your
you know, when you get a restaurant, expect your food
to have better care. I do you know that? I mean?
Why better training? What do you mean better training? You
put caustic liquid in someone's drink. That's weird to me.
(24:05):
All right, let's go to Michigan. Now, Jim, you used
to drive a hummer? Did you not?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I did?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Did you ever get so upset that you wanted to
kill somebody over it? No cool? Good to know because
a man upset over a three thousand dollars hummer he
believed was three.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, show where you could buy that right now?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, he believed was defective, returned to the suburban Detroit
dealership where he bought it, and allegedly killed two men.
Terrence Jermaine Sandals, forty six years old, of Houston, Texas,
was arraigned in Macomb County, Michigan, on two counts of
first degree murder, multiple counts of armed robbery, and several
weapons offenses. About three weeks prior to the homicides, Sandals
(24:48):
entered Auto or Star Auto Sales and allegedly threatened the
owner over the hummer he had purchased for three grand
and believed it was a lemon. He then left in
what was reportedly a rental vehicle. On November seventh, Sandal
allegedly returned to the dealership and shot and killed two men.
At point blank range during a robbery. The victims were
identified as Marvin b Two forty and Garth Babon forty
(25:12):
eight or Baban. An employee found their bodies after returning
from purchasing car parts. Surveillance video showed a masked gunman
entering the building, shooting both victims and leaving on foot.
Video from the initial argument three weeks before allegedly showed
Sandal's rental car. Detectives found that car at a motel
in Romulus, Michigan, and Sandals was arrested November eighth after
(25:33):
officers executed a no knock warrant at the motel room.
Cash stolen from the dealership was found in the room,
along with two handguns, and a large quantity of cocaine
was also recovered. Sandal's criminal history includes an outstanding felony
warrant related to a Texas shooting. Sandals will be likely
extradited to Texas to face those charges, and he's being
(25:54):
held without bond at the Macomb County Jail.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, and you know things stick out there. First of all,
three thousand dollars hommer and you're pissed off because it
had issues with it, like go figure. I mean, that's
probably why you got it for three thousand dollars. You
did get what you pay for in most cases. Obviously,
this is a situation where it was a reaction out
of anger, and that's how people solve shit these days.
(26:20):
They just kill people, you know, there's no sorry. Yeah,
it's people that have no idea how to how to
solve problems. You go to that's how they solve them.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You know, brick a cocaine the hotel room with you.
So I'm sure he's a stand up guy that just
flashed out, spend the.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Rest of his life in jail over over three stupidity. Yeah,
you know, a three thousand dollars hommer that I guess
wouldn't starting or whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
And then two men get just executed over it? Or
is that really where we are?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
And they're probably exactly what I'd have told them. You
pay three thousand bucks.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Dude, read your contract.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah all right, let's go back to California. Oh man,
this is a tough one to hear. Authorities in California
say mother and father have been convicted of murdering their
teenage daughter and young son while abusing their two younger boys.
So they had four total. A jury found Maurice Jewel
Taylor Senior and Natalie Brothelwell guilty of two felon accounts
(27:14):
of first degree murder and two felon accounts of child abuse.
The DA's officers, Taylor and Brothwell fatally stabbed and decapitated
their thirteen year old daughter, Malika and twelve year old
son Maurice inside the family's home. This was back in
twenty twenty. The parents then forced two younger sons, aged
(27:35):
eight and nine, to view their siblings' bodies and remain
confined in their bedrooms without food for several days. Quote.
This was a monstrous act of cruelty that shattered him
entire family that from the La County DA Nathan Hoschman,
two innocent children were brutally murdered and their young brothers
(27:56):
were left to live through unimaginable horror. Taylor and Brothwell
face a maximum sentence of life without the possibility of parole,
plus consecutive sentences of six to six month years and
four months in state present. The parents are scheduled to
be sentenced on January thirteenth of twenty twenty six. Quote.
The prosecution would not have been possible except for the
(28:17):
tremendous efforts of the LAPB And he goes down the
list of all that, you know, a couple of concerning
things that I have. Number one, it took six years.
Six years.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah, this should be death penalty, if ever there was
a death penalty case. You're in California, I know, I know.
But these babies and I'm looking at their pictures because
you know, it's real, they're real people, and these are
precious little children. Little girl with her pigtails and a
little fella holding his you know, his stuffed animal, and
(28:50):
to know what they suffered. And then these other two babies,
hopefully they're you know, in the picture. I'm looking at
their little bitty but hopefully they won't recall this. If
we're going to look at a bright side, maybe I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Well, they were eight and nine, so I believe they
will recall.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
The two younger ones were eight and nine at that time.
Oh this is an old photo then, But either way, regardless,
talk about just destroying children's lives.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
It's horrible, and I hate to bring those kinds of
the stories to the table, but I mean it's true,
it's real life and uh, sometimes.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
You decapitating your own children. Yeah, evil evil evil evil evil.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Well, let's go to Texas, Texas. Yep, we go there
a lot. Yeah, it's a big state. Yeah all right.
A twenty four year old man has been charged with
first degree murder after his sixty three year old roommate
was found dead in a cardboard box behind a bus stop.

You are still Kelly Jennings. How was your Thanksgiving? Kelly?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Fantastic? I gobbled till I wobbled and and.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Then wobbled in here, I did very good, very good. Well,
we'll jump right into it today and we're going to
start off with yet another update. It seems like we've
updated you for the past three weeks on this case.
Of course, we're talking about Anna Kepner, and a cause
of death for the Florida teen who was found dead
(01:35):
on a Carnival cruise ship earlier this month has been revealed.
ABC News reported Friday that Kepner died of bi asphyxiation
resulting from a bar hold, which is a term for
holding an arm across the neck. Investigators found two bruises
on the sides of her neck as well. The Miami
(01:58):
Dade Medical Examiner has not released as of this recording,
unofficial cause of death and preliminary information found there that
there were no signs of sexual assault and there weren't
any apparent drugs or alcohol in captainer's system. Autopsy and
toxicology toxicology toxicology, Toxicut thank you reports have not been
(02:23):
officially released. The eighteen year old high school cheerleader from Titusville, Florida,
was found dead while aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship.
Her body was found by a housekeeper under the bed
in her state room on the ship which returned to
Port Miami. This was on Saturday, November eighth, and news
of Captainer's cause of death comes days after an unrelated
(02:45):
family court case, and this filing suggested a minor may
face criminal charges in the eighteen year old death. The
disclosure appears in an emergency motion submitted in a divorce
case Involving's stepmother, Sean Tell Hudson. In the motion, which
requested a delay in a custody hearing, Hudson's attorneys wrote
(03:08):
that she may she has been told by FBI investigators
that quote, a criminal case may be initiated against one
of her minor children related to Captainer's death. Captainer was
reportedly on the cruise ships Caribean Voyage with her father, stepmother,
and step siblings when she went missing. As of Friday,
(03:30):
no one has been charged in the case, and there
had been no arrests linked to the teen's death. Few
official details about her death have been released publicly. In
following the news, Carnival did release a statement of course
you know, wishing their condolences, et cetera, saying their focus
is on supporting the family of the guests and cooperating
(03:53):
with the FBI, but a little more information in the
case has been discovered. Unfortunately, I feel like we're no
further along than we were three weeks ago, other than
we know that foul play was.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Involved, right and now did see also that the grandparents
that were on the cruise with them have actually spoken
out now to ABC News, and it said that they
were going this cruise was supposed to be like a
new family tradition because the parents were now you know,
newly married, and this was going to be a blended
family type thing, and they were just baffled. They're talking
(04:27):
about how they were having a great time and that
the kids were you know, going to be in one
room while the adults, I guess we're in a bigger room.
But they'd been told, look, if y'all aren't getting along
for any reason or whatever, then you know, we have
the other room and you can you can come over here.
But they really just seem like, you know, they said
there's an extra bed in the adult room, so if
there was an argument, they could So maybe there was
(04:48):
a history of them fighting if that were the case,
but this even the grandparents are just like, you know,
these kids cared about each other, and they don't want
to accuse their new I guess steps on or whatever
our grandson of doing this, but they just seem not.
They seem just as dumbfounded as the rest of us
of how this could have gotten where it is.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, yeah, well, we'll keep you updated on it for sure.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Wild Yeah all right. Well, let's go to Canada and
a former Canadian police sergeant has pled guilty to using
a law enforcement database to pursue intimate relationships with around
thirty women, including several victims of domestic violence. Fifty three
year old Robert Eric Sieamanchuck and no, I did not
make up that last name. That's unfortunate. That is unfortunate,
(05:35):
a twenty two year veteran fortunate. Yeah, a twenty two
year veteran of the Regina Police Service in Saskatchewan, pled
guilty to one charge of breach of trust and one
charge of unauthorized use of a computer on Friday, November
twenty first. The Police Service claimed that in March, when
Seaman Chuck was charged that y'all, my dad's name is Chuck.
This name is just I can't handle it, oh my god. Anyway,
(05:58):
the former had access protected information to find contact and
pursue relationships with these women, some of whom had no
idea he was even a police officer. The number of
women involved in this case may be as much as thirty.
Semenchuck allegedly we use an alias including the names Jay
Lewis or Steve Perkins, and send a text message to
(06:19):
the women saying that he was a contractor or project manager.
The conversation would then turn into constant messaging over a
lengthy period, sometimes years and one woman, who was only
identified using a K like the letter K, said that
she received an unusual message while she was staying in
a women's shelter and was recovering from domestic abuse. She
said that the text felt like a lifeline at a
(06:40):
low point, and they continued texting for four years before
eventually she began questioning him in twenty twenty three. I
was like, do I really know this guy? She said.
She added that she ran a photo he had sent
her through facial recognition software and it returned an image
of Siemenchuck with police gear. Describe the feeling everything that
(07:02):
went through my head in that moment, she said. One
of the first things that hit me was fear. Fear
of this person, his power and what he could do.
Kay then contacted police, which triggered an internal investigation that
lasted for two years. Another woman simply identified as the
letter C in the article said that she received a
message from a man calling himself Steve, and that their
(07:22):
relationship lasted for more than one year. I was eighteen
years old trying to find someone, and I didn't know
how to go about it, she told the outlet, recalling
how Steve eventually became controlling and demanding in their conversations.
He was sex crazed, she said, describing how he consistently
pressured her to send him explicit photos. How did he
know who I was? Why did he choose me? These
(07:44):
were all things that she was questioning when Siemenschak, who
had been honored with policing awards over the course of
his two year career, was charged in March. Then police chief,
I think it's Faruk chic shake? Is it shake?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Shake?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
All right? Faruk Shake said that he had resigned from
the force effective April twenty first. Regina Police has since
announced new policies to ensure incidents like this can't happen again.
The policies now include an auditing process, additional training, and
a message that reminds anyone accessing the database that the
information is for investigative purposes only. A judge set semen
(08:19):
Chuck's sentencing date for January twenty third, and as many
as twenty victim impact statements are expected to be heard
during that hearing.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, and seman Chuck's in some trouble for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And I'll tell you one thing that surprised me about
this is these police officers. If anybody know that what
they're searching through police databases is trackable, Yeah, traceable. This
happens more often than people think, and they get caught
I most every time. And yet these police officers still
(08:53):
do it. You can't just randomly see acute girland a
Mercedes and run or play right.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah. And whenever I was trained in our software out
here when I was doing law enforcement, they were very
clear in our trainings that every step you take, you know,
will be tracked. And then they were very specific. I
remember them saying, also, don't forget you cannot search celebrities,
you cannot search the president, you can't do anything like that,
(09:20):
because obviously that's going to throw up a red flag.
Nor should you be doing that out of just integrity,
you know, that's frowned upon. And this the fact that
he was the personality that these women alleged that he was,
and then to abuse your power in that manner for
domestic violence victims tells me you were looking for a
targeted type of victim, someone you thought you could control.
(09:42):
It's disgusting, it really is.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And even in Canada, you know, they got laws and
they got yeah, they're rules which are very similar to
the United States. And it looks like he's going to be.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's captain obvious stuff though. Shame on him. Shame on him.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
All right, let's go to California and look this guy,
famous rapper. His name is written D four VD, which
is actually David. That's how he says, David. He's a
very famous rapper and he's in a lot of trouble
right now because of the case of Celeste Revis Hernandez.
(10:22):
So I'm going to catch you up on this. More
than two months after the body of fourteen year old
Celeste Hernandez Revis Hernandez was discovered partially this membered in
a vehicle, new details reveal her body was reportedly found
partially frozen. On September eighth, The girl's body was found
(10:42):
after employees at Hollywood two reported a foul udor coming
from a Tesla suv which you've been on the lot
for five days after it was reported abandoned in the
Hollywood Hills. The Tesla and Texas plates were rushed through
to David Anthony Burke, twenty r and B, musician known
as D four VD or David It's actually David in
(11:06):
just a weird spelling with millions of fans and followers.
The girl's decomposing body parts include a head and torso,
had apparently been thawed inside the front trunk when the
grizzly discovery was made. The Tesla has parked on what's
known as Bluebird Avenue, not far from the Hollywood Hills
(11:26):
rental home that Burke was living in before it was towed.
LAPD detectives later served a search warrant at the home,
where several pieces of evidence were seized. On November eighteenth,
LAPD sources said that Burke was considered a suspect in
Revis Hernandez death. The teen had been missing from Lake
(11:47):
Elsinore since April of twenty twenty four, when she was
just thirteen. The potential relationship between her and Burke had
been a critical part of that investigation, with images surfacing
on line appearing to show the two together. The girl's
mother had told investigators she had a boyfriend named David
at the time of her disappearance. The two reportedly have
(12:10):
matching tattoos on their right index fingers with the letters
SHH and Burt circle also reportedly believed Ravera is her name,
as was nineteen years old, so he wasn't telling his
friends the real age.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You couldn't tell a fourteen year old from a nineteen
year old.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
May may not.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Some people look very old and started at that age.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Well, I'm just telling you what his friends that. Following
the grisome discovery, Burt canceled the remainder of his US
and European tour dates and shelved an album release. He
is allegedly not cooperating with investigators and has not commented
on the investigation or his alleged relationship ties to the team.
Detectives are also investigating whether the killer helped dismembering and
(12:59):
display of the teen's body, based on the manner in
which Celeste's body was dismembered. The investigators believe it's very
likely whoever did it to her had help. Investigators are
looking into a trip Burt made to a remote area
of Santa Barbara in spring of twenty twenty five in
the middle of the night, where he spent several hours.
(13:20):
Investigators are also looking closely at that journey and believe
it may be connected to whatever happened to Celeste. The
teen's body was discovered the day after her fifteenth birthday,
but La County Medical Examiner's office set or death likely
happened a week earlier. Weeks earlier. In the frozen state
of the body is why they're having trouble establishing the
(13:43):
time frame of her death.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, so I'm just unimpressed so far with all the details.
How old is he? Do you know how old? This David
guy is? No too old regards movie? Yeah, I mean
too old to be even entertaining a fourteen year old girl.
I don't care what people thought, that's irrelevant. If you've
been alive on this earth, you know a fourteen year
old is not a nineteen year old once they start
(14:06):
speaking with you. And so obviously he thought that that
she was disposable and you know this is going to
turn out I think exactly like we think it will.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
And uh, he's years old.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah so what so he's nineteen with a thirteen year like,
come on, bro, you know better. And we're getting tattoos
at thirteen?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Now?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Is that what we're doing? Matching tattoos with thirteen year
old I'm just unimpressed, I guess is what I'm telling
you sound like a Karen totally unimpressed. And I think
that she was missing what would we say, a week
at least?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Oh? No, she had been missing since twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
No, but I'm saying they think she's been dead. I'm
sorry for at least a week weeks okay weeks, and
you have matching tattoos and you never called and reported
her missing. You're supposedly dating her. Uh, your friends don't
know hold she is, but you never called and reported
her missing. We call that a clue. Yeah, yeah, that's terrible.
And where you know nobody was looking for this child?
That makes me it's very sad for her.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
They just couldn't find it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I just didn't know where she was. That makes me said,
then you're enabling and a betting and taking a child,
you know what I'm saying, and knowing that she's not
in contact with her parents or people that love her. No,
but when she was alive because it was a year right, yeah, roughly, yeah,
shame for shame. I know we don't have all the details,
but I think that's going to turn out exactly like
it sounds terrible, all right, now, this one's horrible too.
(15:26):
And these teenagers man, but police are currently searching for
Morgan Geyser, one of the girls involved. Do y'all remember
that twenty fourteen Slenderman inspired stabbing that happened and it
was just terrible based on this fake person or whatever.
If you kill somebody that shows up, Well, Morgan Geyser
is now missing. So she's now twenty two and she
(15:48):
was at a group home in Madison, Wisconsin when she
cut off her Department of Corrections monitoring bracelet, per a
statement from the Madison Police Department that they shared on
Facebook on Sunday, November twenty third, Geyser was last scene
on Saturday, November twenty second, in the area of Kronkie
or Kronk Drive around eight pm with an adult acquaintance.
(16:08):
Police said that her whereabouts are currently unknown and that
the MPD was notified of her disappearance on Sunday morning. Now,
the MPD shared a recent image of Guyser captured on
security video, and as to anyone who sees her to
please call nine one one. In an emailed statement to
People the magazine, MPD said Geyser had yet to be
located at the time of writing, but that the department
(16:29):
will investigate every community tip or siding reported to us SO.
In twenty fourteen, Geyser and another friend her name was
Anissa Wire, they lured their classmen Peyton Lutner into the
woods during a sleepover while playing a game of hide
and seek in their Milwaukee suburb. Geyser then stabbed Lutner
nineteen times while Wire cheered her on. Lutner survived the
(16:52):
attack and was rescued by a passer by whenever she
crawled her weight into a nearby bike path. All of
the girls were twelve years old at the time that
this took place. Geyser and Wire said that they committed
the crime to please the mythical figure Slenderman, who they
believed was real at the time. The Slenderman character is
believed to have originated from a two thousand and nine
(17:13):
illustration of a tall, thin man with tentacle like arms
and magical abilities that circulated around the internet via horror stories.
Both Geyser and Wire were charged with first degree intentional
homicide and were tried as adults despite their ages. Both
girls were eventually found not guilty by reason of mental
disease or defects and were committed to psychiatric facilities. Then,
(17:37):
in January, eleven years after the attack, it was announced
that Geyser would be released from her psychiatric care facility,
following expert testimony claiming that she had made noticeable progress
during her time there. Per the Associated Press, the judge
ordered Wisconsin's Department of Health Services to house her in
a group home as a condition of her release. Wire
(17:59):
was least in twenty twenty one, after being housed for
nearly four years at the same facility as Geyser.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Pretty crazy, and I'll tell you how the hell she
is missing is one of the scariest things you can
have out there. There's no telling them what she has
playing next. She's absolutely insane and even the court said that,
which is why she's even out. If I was the
(18:29):
girl that was stabbed nineteen times. I'd be scared to
death right.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Now, Yeah, I would, because you don't know what's going
on in that freaking dome of this woman or a
woman now twenty two years old, and cut her you
obviously know right from wrong, and that you take the
ankle bracelet off. It's not like she just ran off
and she's crazy. No, she thought this through. She's criminally
crazy and she cut it off. So yeah, I hope
they find her sooner than later because that would be
(18:55):
very scary and worrisome for me.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
One hundred percent. Let's go to Oklahoma and we're going
to talk about an elementary school teacher from Oklahoma who
is dead after her family says she was served a
margarita at a Mexican restaurant that had industrial grade degreaser
in it. So, Holly Hill was a beloved teacher at
Elgin Public Schools and she was an alumni of that
(19:20):
school in Oklahoma. She died last week and the Oklahoma
State Bureau of Investigation is investigating her death as suspicious,
but findings have not been released. Hill's mother, Kelly Hunter,
said her daughter's life changed forever two and a half
years ago when she visited Hacienda Las Margaritas in Elgin.
(19:42):
The allegations are highlighted in the lawsuit. Hunter said her
daughter was served to margarita that was made with industrial
degrees or that contained lie, and that lie damaged her
esophagus to the point that her daughter had been fighting
for her life for two and a half years. She
spent a week in the hospital, but it took more
(20:03):
than twelve weeks to keep her esophagus open. Quote. I've
really started to worry when my baby girl woke up
and I had to tell her she couldn't eat or
drink anything for thirty days. She'd be upset, but she
smiled at me and said, I can do that. After
she is believed to have finally recovered, he'll returned to
(20:23):
her normal life as an elementary school teacher and a
bus driver. As usual, she got up and went to
work because her kids needed her, her mother said, But recently,
while hell was at work, she began to feel well
and spiked of fever. She decided to finish her day
at home in bed and planned to go to the
hospital in the morning, but overnight, her mother received a
(20:45):
tragic phone call from her daughter, quote about eleven excuse me,
about one point eighteen am. She called me and she
was gasping for breath and telling me she couldn't breathe
and needed help. Hunter said she then rushed to her
daughter to help her. Quote, she told me, I'm dying, mom,
but I need you to know I love y'all. And
(21:05):
I said, You're not gonna die, baby girl. You're too
strong for that. Hill's husband was on the phone with
nine one one operators when she lost her pulse, and
that's when Hunter stepped in and started CPR. She said
she didn't know how long she did CPR, but it
seemed like forever. When first responders arrived, Hunter thought her
daughter was gonna be okay because she did get her
(21:27):
pulse back, but he'll lost that pulse again when first
responders tried to move her, and this time she was
unable to be revived. Her mother said she sat there
and watched her baby die right in front of her.
Her heart broke and that's not even scratching the surface. Now,
hasienda lost? Maganitas confirmed the drink that was served to
(21:47):
Hill in February of twenty twenty three UH was the
drink with the lie in it and called it unfortunate
and isolated. In a statement posted to social media, the
restaurant said it can assaulted with the Oklahoma State Department
of Health, and afterward it implemented new training and safety safeguards.
(22:08):
So there's been no criminal charges yet, it's just civil
charges because apparently this they're having trouble proving this was
an intentional thing. They're thinking the degrees are in Kelly
is looking at me like I'm crazy, But there's a
lot of degrees are in those kitchens. Something could have
fell over and somebody didn't notice it, or they went
to clean something and use the same rag to dry
(22:31):
out the glass. I'm not saying they weren't criminally responsible,
but it doesn't necessarily mean it's intentional that it had
degrees are in it.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah. I just have a hard time believing it would
be one isolated incident if it was not someone doing
something stupid just thinking it might be funny. I just
personally don't see that.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
See I see at the opposite. I see it because
it was an isolated incident and it only happened one time.
It could have possibly been an absolute accident.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, but the amount and that's okay. This is where
my brain went since we're kind of going there, I
guess is that I kind of looked it up because
I wanted to see what, you know, poison control and
how does it work. And you would have to have
enough in your system to cause these types of problems.
So it had to be more than a rag. It
had to be enough. It had to be it had
to be enough in there too, like gulp, you know
what I mean? Like, because this is saying that it causes,
(23:20):
you know, breathing difficulty, Your throat will swell. It talks
about the blood pressure problems, and then your blood can
actually become too acidic, which in and of itself will
cause more compound problems. So I you know, my mind
would be more inclined to think that some younger person
thought this would be funny important. Yeah, I know, we
(23:40):
don't know, you don't know, but this is just what
a downhill battle, you know, suffering, this is, this is
this is terrible. And you expect people to handle your
you know, when you get a restaurant, expect your food
to have better care. I do you know that? I mean?
Why better training? What do you mean better training? You
put caustic liquid in someone's drink. That's weird to me.
(24:05):
All right, let's go to Michigan. Now, Jim, you used
to drive a hummer? Did you not?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I did?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Did you ever get so upset that you wanted to
kill somebody over it? No cool? Good to know because
a man upset over a three thousand dollars hummer he
believed was three.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, show where you could buy that right now?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, he believed was defective, returned to the suburban Detroit
dealership where he bought it, and allegedly killed two men.
Terrence Jermaine Sandals, forty six years old, of Houston, Texas,
was arraigned in Macomb County, Michigan, on two counts of
first degree murder, multiple counts of armed robbery, and several
weapons offenses. About three weeks prior to the homicides, Sandals
(24:48):
entered Auto or Star Auto Sales and allegedly threatened the
owner over the hummer he had purchased for three grand
and believed it was a lemon. He then left in
what was reportedly a rental vehicle. On November seventh, Sandal
allegedly returned to the dealership and shot and killed two men.
At point blank range during a robbery. The victims were
identified as Marvin b Two forty and Garth Babon forty
(25:12):
eight or Baban. An employee found their bodies after returning
from purchasing car parts. Surveillance video showed a masked gunman
entering the building, shooting both victims and leaving on foot.
Video from the initial argument three weeks before allegedly showed
Sandal's rental car. Detectives found that car at a motel
in Romulus, Michigan, and Sandals was arrested November eighth after
(25:33):
officers executed a no knock warrant at the motel room.
Cash stolen from the dealership was found in the room,
along with two handguns, and a large quantity of cocaine
was also recovered. Sandal's criminal history includes an outstanding felony
warrant related to a Texas shooting. Sandals will be likely
extradited to Texas to face those charges, and he's being
(25:54):
held without bond at the Macomb County Jail.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, and you know things stick out there. First of all,
three thousand dollars hommer and you're pissed off because it
had issues with it, like go figure. I mean, that's
probably why you got it for three thousand dollars. You
did get what you pay for in most cases. Obviously,
this is a situation where it was a reaction out
of anger, and that's how people solve shit these days.
(26:20):
They just kill people, you know, there's no sorry. Yeah,
it's people that have no idea how to how to
solve problems. You go to that's how they solve them.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You know, brick a cocaine the hotel room with you.
So I'm sure he's a stand up guy that just
flashed out, spend the.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Rest of his life in jail over over three stupidity. Yeah,
you know, a three thousand dollars hommer that I guess
wouldn't starting or whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
And then two men get just executed over it? Or
is that really where we are?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
And they're probably exactly what I'd have told them. You
pay three thousand bucks.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Dude, read your contract.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah all right, let's go back to California. Oh man,
this is a tough one to hear. Authorities in California
say mother and father have been convicted of murdering their
teenage daughter and young son while abusing their two younger boys.
So they had four total. A jury found Maurice Jewel
Taylor Senior and Natalie Brothelwell guilty of two felon accounts
(27:14):
of first degree murder and two felon accounts of child abuse.
The DA's officers, Taylor and Brothwell fatally stabbed and decapitated
their thirteen year old daughter, Malika and twelve year old
son Maurice inside the family's home. This was back in
twenty twenty. The parents then forced two younger sons, aged
(27:35):
eight and nine, to view their siblings' bodies and remain
confined in their bedrooms without food for several days. Quote.
This was a monstrous act of cruelty that shattered him
entire family that from the La County DA Nathan Hoschman,
two innocent children were brutally murdered and their young brothers
(27:56):
were left to live through unimaginable horror. Taylor and Brothwell
face a maximum sentence of life without the possibility of parole,
plus consecutive sentences of six to six month years and
four months in state present. The parents are scheduled to
be sentenced on January thirteenth of twenty twenty six. Quote.
The prosecution would not have been possible except for the
(28:17):
tremendous efforts of the LAPB And he goes down the
list of all that, you know, a couple of concerning
things that I have. Number one, it took six years.
Six years.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah, this should be death penalty, if ever there was
a death penalty case. You're in California, I know, I know.
But these babies and I'm looking at their pictures because
you know, it's real, they're real people, and these are
precious little children. Little girl with her pigtails and a
little fella holding his you know, his stuffed animal, and
(28:50):
to know what they suffered. And then these other two babies,
hopefully they're you know, in the picture. I'm looking at
their little bitty but hopefully they won't recall this. If
we're going to look at a bright side, maybe I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Well, they were eight and nine, so I believe they
will recall.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
The two younger ones were eight and nine at that time.
Oh this is an old photo then, But either way, regardless,
talk about just destroying children's lives.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
It's horrible, and I hate to bring those kinds of
the stories to the table, but I mean it's true,
it's real life and uh, sometimes.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
You decapitating your own children. Yeah, evil evil evil evil evil.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Well, let's go to Texas, Texas. Yep, we go there
a lot. Yeah, it's a big state. Yeah all right.
A twenty four year old man has been charged with
first degree murder after his sixty three year old roommate
was found dead in a cardboard box behind a bus stop.
