Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey folks, and welcome back to this look into the
headlines wrapping up the first week in December, and the
topics we're going to talk about today include In Louisiana,
all the talk centers around new LSU head coach hire
Lane Kiffin, who in his press conference made a claim
(00:21):
that old miss Fans tried to run him off the
road upon his exit from Oxford. We're gonna address that.
In Michigan, the body of Rebecca Park has been found
in a national force and her mother and stepfather have been.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Charged in her murder.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
In Virginia, a high school football coach is still on
the run in this fifteenth day of the man hunt
after he is charged with several counts of child porn.
In Austin, Texas, police are determining no foul play in
the death of a Texas A and M cheerleader, but
the fan is saying not so fast. We got the
(01:03):
up to the minute details on that case and so
much more today on Crime Wire Weekly.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I am Jim Chapman.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I'm Kelly Jennings. What's going on? Jim? I know you
got a big smile on your face. I do, and
you got on your LSU purple and gold jacket I do.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It was raining this morning and you know those for
the folks that can't see us. It rained heavily this morning,
still raining, and I bought an LSU jacket, like a
rain jacket. Yeah, a little deal that you can pack
away and it folds up so nice and you can
just put it in your car. And I've been wanting
to wear it for like six months, but I've never
(01:41):
had to go anywhere where it was raining when I
actually left the house, so I was excited today.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I can hear it swishing. Yeah, if you can yell
you that, it's awesome, make that noise, boy.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, I love it. I love this jacket. Anyway, I
guess let's get into the crime headline. You got anything
you want to talk about?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
No, I'm stoked about what you're going to talk about first,
I think.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I am also stoked if and if you follow my
personal Facebook page, this will not shock you at all.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I am. Look, y'all, I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
About Lane Kiffin being the LSU football coach. I know
we don't have a show about football or sports, but
this relates to crime because he alleged a crime, and
how dare you commit a crime against LSU's new coach.
And I do want to say before I get into it,
I know we have some Mississippi fans out there, and
(02:35):
I totally get it that you are very hurt on.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
The decision that Kiff had made.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
But us, as LSU fans, we're very excited to have
him here. And I know all of y'all are saying,
don't get eased to it, and he's gonna leave and
go to Alabama and too, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I just want one national championship in the moment. Yeah,
let's have this.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
But I do hope that old MISSUS football team really
kills it in the playoffs, and you know, I'd like
to see him win. I think they deserve it and
they played a great season.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah, And you have to have a heart for those kids,
to those student athletes that have lost their coach that
you know, you love your coach, you worked hard with
that coach, and now that coach leaves, and I'm sure
that there's a sting behind that. Just as a I
was a college athlete, you know there's a sting behind
that because you have such loyalty to your coach and
you work hard for your coach and then when he leaves,
So my heart really does go out to those kids.
It's a loss.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's a loss, and I think that was a hard
decision by everybody. And look, Lane made his decision, and
so uh, you have a new coach and get behind
him and kill it in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
All right, let's get into it.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
This latest Lane kiff and saga finally ended when he
left for Baton Ridge this past Sunday, but Kiffen later
revealed that some Ole miss fans created a rocky route
to the Oxford, Mississippi Airport. He claimed that a group
of unhappy fans attempted Now I want to I want
to really stress that attempted to chase his car off
(04:03):
the road. And the reason I want to stress that
is the athletic director came out in a podcast yesterday
and I'm not throwing shade on the guy.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
He said this.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
He said, as well as the commissioner for the police
in the state of Mississippi, whatever you call that person.
They came out and said they have no report of
any accidents involving Lane Kifvin.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Y'all.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
He never said he got in an accident. He said
people were attempting to run him off the road. Was
he exaggerating that a little bit?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But look, I have no doubt some people in Oxford
were pulling on the side up and giving him the bird.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Maybe they might have swerved and swerved back real quick
just to mess with him. I don't know, but I
can tell you, as as lethal as they're getting on
social media.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's possible, just like it's possible.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
With LSU fans, we might would do that too when
he look, when he leaves LSU, we're probably gonna swerve
in him a couple of times as well.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Hey, well we did go through this though, if you
remember with Saban, I want golf.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But it it was to be fair to old miss fans.
It was different. He went to the NFL. He didn't
go to another.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
SEC team, and so he went to Alabama.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Well he did via the NFL.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And he wanted this job.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But less Miles just won a national championship when he
came back. I know a lot of people don't know
that story, but he called LSU and he's like, I
want my job back, and they were like, dude, Less
Miles just one a national championship. We can't just hurry
you back. And then by the time that less mile,
we figured out, well he ain't gonna work.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Less wasn't more.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, Saban was already at Alabama.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So anyway, Kiffin was formally introduced as LSU's next head
coach on this past Monday. During the news conference, he
outlined the vision he hoped to bring life to his tenuere,
but he also went into detail about this apparent crime
and his need for police assistance.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
During the tenth.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Moment question quote, call a cop that you know so
they will help you, Kevin said, because you personally know them.
Because you are leaving the state and you got to
turn around and people are screaming at you, you know,
trying to run you off the road. I don't know
what they're gonna do, and so that it affects you.
(06:19):
While kiffn acknowledged old Miss Fan's passion, he also suggested
his experience during the airport trup served as confirmation of
his decision to leave Oxford. Quote in the airport scene
and all the things being said, I understand that it's
the passion, but they're saying that about you, that you
really did a good job for them for six years
(06:42):
and it affects you. And even on the plane ride
down there, I'm kind of like, yeah, we made this decision,
but god, I really you know. And then it kind
of trailed off, and he did say when he got
to LSU and he passed Tiger Stadium, he knew he
made the right place decision. And so look, this happens
(07:03):
all over college sports. I'm glad that nothing violent has
happened thus far, and I wouldn't expect that out of
all miss fans.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
They're just look, they're hurt.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I get it, and we've been there, like Kelly said
with Nick Saban, So there you have it. I just
wanted to clarify he never said he'd gotten an accident,
so that's why no accidents were reported. He just said
some people were swerving. He knows would Lane. Maybe he
was trilling a little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
No, I think that he was just you know, I
don't think he was being literal. I think he was
saying that people are kind of running him out of
Oxford and have turned on him since he left, and
you know, people, what's weird too, is that people do
weird things, like people who chase down celebrities and get
mad over like a role they played and stuff. Those
things happen, and it's like, everybody got to calm down.
We could be mad in a in a athletic sporty way, but.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
It's a game.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
It's a game, bro at the end of the day,
it's a game.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Base Yeah, and for what I'm paying for these season tickets,
we better win.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
All right.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Now, Let's move on to something probably a little bit
more serious here, but authorities in Michigan confirmed that the
body of a woman found in Manistee National Forest last
week is that of Rebecca Park. The discovery of Park's
body came after a week's long search to locate the
missing mother to be, who was last seen shortly before
midnight on November three at her mother's home in Boone Township,
(08:21):
about one hundred miles north of Grand Rapids. Search efforts
are still ongoing, however, the Wexford County Sheriff Trent Taylor
revealed in a statement that Park's autopsy also revealed that
she was no longer pregnant. Park had been thirty eight
weeks pregnant when she went missing, and her body was
discovered three days after she was due to give birth.
The Wexford County Sheriff's Office, along with multiple law enforcement agencies,
(08:45):
is working diligently to determine the condition and potential whereabouts
of the baby. Because this is an active and ongoing investigation,
the information that can be released is extremely limited at
this time. The Sheriff's office also confirmed that two individuals
linked to the case had been arrested late Sunday night,
which is when Park's mother and stepfather were taken into custody.
(09:07):
Courtney Bartholomew, who is forty, was arrested and booked into
the county jail at eleven forty pm on November thirtieth,
and her fiance, Bradley Bartholomew, forty seven, was booked into
custody on December first. It's weird that it would say
her fiance, yet they have the same last name, so
and wouldn't that imply already married.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I'm just saying the article.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, it's a weird thing in the article, but either way.
A court appearance for the pair, initially scheduled for Monday,
actually took place on Tuesday, December second. So at that appearance,
the mother and stepfather was charged with listening to this
eight total counts, and I'm going to kind of shorten
them up here for you, but the first one was
they were charged with committing an offensive homicide murder in
the first degree. The second was homicide felony murder with
(09:52):
DNA taken upon arrest. The third was that there was
a torture component to it. The fourth was conspiracy for
the torture component. The fifth count was the assault of
a pregnant individual causing a miscarriage or still birth. The
sixth count was more about that assault with intentionally causing
the miscarriage and still birth. The seventh count was unlawful
(10:15):
imprisonment and then count eight and the final one was
the offense of dead bodies removing without medical examiner permission,
So it sounds like moving the body obviously after they
killed her. There is no word on whether or not
the recent arrest of Park's fiance and sister are in
the way or in any way related to her death.
Kimberly Park twenty one and Richard Fahler or Fowler forty
(10:37):
three are also being held at the Wexford County Jail
ever since the arrest last week, just hours after the
discovery of Park's body. Kimberly was arrested and booked into
custody at the jail in the early morning hours of
November twenty sixth. She appeared in court later that same
day and she was arigned on charges of tampering with
evidence and lying to a police officer while also filing
a false police report. Her bail was set at seven
(11:00):
hundred and fifty thousand dollars and that's a high bail,
so you know that this is serious. Fowler was taken
into custody at seven thirty pm on November twenty fifth,
and he was arraigned the following day on two counts
of delivering methamphetamy. So now we have another charge. I
don't know what that one's about. But his bail was
set at one million, so even higher than the tampering
(11:21):
and all that. And now the Sheriff's office is not
releasing any further details at this time.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You know, obviously this is a big trending case because
they still haven't found the baby.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah. And the way it's worded is interesting too, because
it says she was no longer pregnant. Obviously, I'm thinking
that she gave birth at some point or are they
saying that she had miscarried? All, well, no, because it
says causing miscarriage and the charges and she was the
baby was viable at that point.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Based on the weeks that she was a hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, so yeah, where's this baby?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So she was.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Scheduled to give birth or she I guess as maybe
to give yeah, three days prior to this, So yeah,
the baby was certainly virble. They did see some things
from the property, including notebooks, a tablet, multiple knives, some
trail knives, and they see some shovels, so that the
(12:20):
thought process here is the police maybe thinking the body
of the baby was buried somewhere in those woods, maybe
near where this young lady's body was found. But we'll
keep you updated on it. Absolutely horrific. And this is
her biological mother, y'all.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, And looking at the photos and we can post
these on Facebook for y'all two. But the photos of
the mom looks rough. Mom looks like she's been through
some stuff here, and it just makes you wonder so
many things could have happened. The knives, they were telling
and we had a case here locally years ago where
the guy got hot So the guy that was arrested
(12:59):
on that the that means in this story, well, we
had a guy locally that was high on drugs and
he cut his own child out of his baby, out
of the mother, his baby, mama, his wife.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Now that was PCP.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah, it was laced, Well it was he smoked a
joint laced with whatever. I don't remember what it was.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I think PCP maybe irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Either way, he lost his mind and he cut that
child physically with a knife out of the mother. So
and that involved drugs and being high and all that.
So this will be a very interesting one to see
what actually happened. But that poor girl, you know, to
know that at the hands of your own mom, something
went wrong.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Well, let's go to Virginia and we're going to talk
about another highly trending case at this moment in time,
and that is the fugitive Virginia high school football coach
who disappeared amid a child pornography investigation.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He was last.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Seen entering a wooded area with a firearm that from
his family attorney. Now for those for me year, Travis Turner,
who is forty six, a very decorated high school football coach.
The head coach of Union High School. This is in
big Stone Gap, Virginia. He left his residence to walk
(14:14):
into a heavily wooded and mountainous area. That was on
November twentieth. The last known contact the family had with
Travis occurred on or about Thursday, November twentieth, after he
left and walked into those woods, and at that point
in time, no arrest warrants have been issued for him
(14:36):
or anything like that, So that makes me think he
was tipped off a little bit about about some things
that were about to occur.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Now. When he didn't come home that evening, his wife.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Called local law enforcement and she was told she had
to wait twenty four hours to file a missing persons report.
The family said that they along were friends of search
the surrounding woods through their effort, though their efforts have
been limited by bad weather in the need to avoid
interfering with.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
An official search.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
On Tuesday, five days after Turner was last seen, authorities
announced he had obtained ten warrants to charge him with
five counts a possession of child pornography in five counts
of using a computer to solicit a minor. Authorities said
the investigation remains ongoing additional charges are pending, and Turner
(15:26):
is now considered a fugitive. So Turner was reported missing
on Friday, November twenty first, a day after he was
seen walking in those woods. Investigators for the Virginia State
Police were returning to his Appalachia is An, Appalachia. I
think I got that one right Appalachia home to speak
with him about the case. Police said they had visited
(15:48):
his home on November twentieth, the day disappeared, but at
that time they were just wanting to talk to him.
They were not seeking to arrest him.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
According to police, that was his tip off.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
That was yeah, well somebody had you know. They went
to attempt to speak to him, and that's when he left.
Somebody had told him were on the way. Whether it
was the police or someone tipped him off, I don't know.
Turner's wife, Leslie Turner, responded after her husband was charged,
saying that none of what's being said about her husband
(16:19):
is true. Quote, he's a good dad, a good husband,
and we want him home.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That's it. I don't know anything. I don't know anything.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Police have launched an extensive search across Wise County. They're
utilizing drones, canines, all of the technology at their disposal,
and they're also doing foot patrols.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Now. He was last seen wearing.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
A gray sweatshirts, sweatpants and glasses and very successful football
coach in that area. Everybody knew this guy and he
is vanished without a trace.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah, I can't find him.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So this also, and this has been reported on some
other outlets too, which I can't obviously confirm her deny
if it's true or not, but that they're thinking he
could have possibly had help in his Uh, I'm gonna
say escape or whatever, or leaving, because I mean, if
you hurt himself with the weapon, you would find the body,
you know, in the woods and then.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Eventually, I mean it's a mountainous area.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, but how far did you get? Because there was
also a meteorologist I had read somewhere else that said
the weather had been a lot hotter and something else,
and that would have impeded how fast he could move.
So what if he went into the woods and then
circled out and then someone gave him a ride. I
don't know. I'm just saying what someone else had said,
that he possibly someone else could have a good point. Yeah,
I could have assisted him. And it makes you wonder
(17:38):
why you bring the gun. Was it to hurt yourself? Well,
we can't find you so or is it to getting
a shootout later on? Should they take you? I don't know.
This is going to turn out bad either way.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I think for him. Yeah, his poor.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Family too, you know, they're just devastated.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Sounds like his wife's in shock to me.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I understand.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah, you would defend your your spouse's honor until otherwise proven.
And she hasn't got anything to go one other than
the accusation. All right, So let's move on to Texas.
Austin authorities said Tuesday that an ongoing probe into the
weekend falling death of Texas A and M student Brianna
Aguilera continues to suggest that the nineteen year old did
not die by homicide, but also cautioned that they have
(18:17):
not reached any conclusions. Since Aguilera fell from a seventeenth
floor balcony Saturday at the twenty one Rio apartments in
West Campus. Her mother and other family members have disputed
the Austin Police Department's initial determination that the incident was
non suspicious and accused detectives of a botched investigation. Assistant
Police Chief Lee Rogers told the American Statesman that findings
(18:39):
continue to point to an accidental fall or suicide, but
that the probe is still open and has expanded in scope.
There's no indication of foul play, Rogers said, adding that
detectives are still piecing together Aguilera's final hours. Investigators have
built a preliminary timeline that places Aguilera at a tailgate
event before the Texas the Texas or University of Texas
(19:01):
and Texas A and M football game. They are reviewing
her movements and interactions throughout the day, including her stay
with friends who live in the apartment from which she fell.
We were looking at things that may or may not
have occurred throughout the day. Meanwhile, the Travis County Medical
Examiner's Office still has not determined an official cause of death.
According to the spokesman, Hector and I think it's nietto
(19:21):
is how you would pronounce that. A full report, including
toxicology results, will likely not be released for several more
weeks as the investigation continues. Aguilera's family has strongly rejected
the idea that her death was an accident or suicide.
Her mother and other relatives say they believe the probe
has been handled poorly and that key procedures such as
preserving the scene and thoroughly questioning those present were neglected.
(19:45):
In a social media post, Aguilera's mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, insisted
her daughter would never jump from such a height, calling
the idea insane. My daughter loved life and was excited
to graduate and pursue her career in law. Rodriguez wrote this,
and then accused basically new since the Austin Police of
not thoroughly investigating. Now, I'm gonna say say this, if
(20:05):
you look at the photo of her, of the daughter,
she seems to be a very well put together kid.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
What you would think of a college cheerleader.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Sorority something like that. She looks well put together. But again,
looks looks don't mean they're going to tell you the
outcome of what happened. And I can see you sitting
on the balcony. I mean I remember being young sitting
on balconies I probably shouldn't have, or standing, you know,
and then losing your balance and flipping over and falling.
(20:37):
The only other option would be that someone pushed her,
or she jumped, or she jumped.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, yeah, I said that, And that's of course I'm
not I'm not saying that I have no door act
knowledge of this case outside of what Kelly just read you.
But uh, there's only three options there. She was either killed,
she fell, or she.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Jumped.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It seems like the intentional jump is just completely off
the table.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
There are absolutely no signs of that.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
It seems like the police are leaning towards and what
Kelly just said, an accidental fall of some sort. Toxology
results have not been released yet that I'm aware of.
Was she drunk and lost her balance? Lost or balance
and you know, like I do every time I drink.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Who knows?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
And I'm not making light of it, but I'm just
saying that could be a possibility. But you know, it's
crazy how social media just goes nuts with so many
theories on these things. One of the social media sites
that I was looking at, the comments, I mean, they
got people accusing her best friend of killing her, all
(21:50):
kinds of things with absolutely no evidence of any of this.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
You know, when you are an idiot, tis best to
keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you
are or not, because once you confirmed you know what
I'm saying, how dare someone too and just erin on
the side of her friends being absolutely innocent. There's nothing
pushing towards that right now as the time that we're
recording this, And how dare you turn around and cuse
somebody of intentionally pushing somebody when right now there's zero
(22:17):
evidence of that.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Zero evidence.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And if it's obvious to you, I would think it
would be obvious to the police and they wouldn't be
treating this now. From the family's perspective, they have their doubts,
as you just mentioned. And look, it's a hard thing
to accept. I could not, you know, imagine losing a child,
and so you're looking for answers.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
And the accident's devastating enough because it could have been prevented. Yeah,
you want to blame something, You want to blame something,
you need to and I understand how that would feel.
You need someone to blame or something to blame. And
oftentimes I can tell you people direct their anger at
the police and they feel like more should be done.
So I'll say this, I bet you the police you
(22:59):
know they're not gonna during an open investigation, but they're
gonna go look through her social media post, They're going
to look through her internal text between friends. Was she
fighting with anybody? Was she fighting with a guy? Maybe
they broke up. They're gonna be looking for all those avenues.
And if none of that is the case, and then
toxicology comes back possibly and I'm just doing what if crea?
I have no foundation here. But and let's say there
(23:21):
is a toxicology that's raised. I mean, come on, it's
a terrible, terrible accident in that event, and the police
can't make up evidence that's not there. So I will
say this. Their family has every right to be upset.
She had her life ahead of her and it's just
devastating regardless of what the outcome is.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
That's right, That's right. So we'll move on. We'll go
into Louisiana and count out. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, just just a horrible story here on police sheriff's
deputy that was killed.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
And this was, you know, Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
A lot of people joke about, you know, you got
to get around relatives you don't like, or people get
into arguments all the time, and that does happen in
some households during Thanksgiving about you know, numerous things, but
this one turned tragic when a Saint John the Baptist
Pairs sheriff's deputy was identified as the victim in a
(24:15):
deadly shooting on Thanksgiving evening. Officials identified the victim as
Shakil Garon, who is thirty five. Officials say Garon was
shot and killed by his brother, Darius Garon, who is
thirty two of morero So, three years younger than his
older brother. The shooting happened just after five thirty pm
(24:37):
on Thanksgiving Day that according to Sheriff Joseph Lopinto, deputies
arrived to find Shaquille Garon lying in the street outside
the home with at least one gunshot wound. Emergency medical
crews and deputies attended life saving efforts, but he was
pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators identified the vehicle Darius
(24:58):
used to flee and share that information with nearby law enforcement.
Around seven pm, a deputy spotted that vehicle, and when
deputies tried to stop it, Darius Garon refused to pull over.
Deputies pursued the vehicle to Lafitte, Louisiana, where it stopped
and Garon ran from the car, but deputies caught him
(25:18):
and took him into custody. A gun was found along
the path where he ran, and he will obviously be
booked with second degree murder.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
The victim in this case, Shaquille Garon, had been with
the Saint John Sheriff's Department for eight years. According to
a statement from Sheriff Mike Tree's office, he was assigned
to the Uniform Patrol Division and he also worked in
the Detective Bureau. Shaquille did his job well. He had
the heart of a public servant. He carried and showed
(25:50):
positivity as an employee for the Saint John Sheriff's Office
and teammate to his co workers. He survived by his wife,
Roxanne and his three childern. That is just it is heartbreaking.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
And this guy here again we have photos of all
these people, because that makes it. That makes it real,
you know, when you can put a face to these
stories and just just looks like a good, good guy man,
just somebody that doing his best, you know, blue collar work,
has kids that loved him and rely on him. And
now he's gone and for.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
What for um? With you brother?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
An argument.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I don't know what happened there, but it was obviously
this part of the moment thing. And and you know,
I'm hopefully his brother totally regrets it as well. He
definitely regrets it now, but in another hero just gone.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah for no reason. All right now, California, this this
right here is just beyond okay. A joyful celebration turned
into a devastating tragedy when a shooting erupted at a
child's birthday party in Stockton, California. This was on November
twenty ninth, and it left four people dead. Three of
those four were children. They also had eleven others injured.
(27:05):
Among the victims was fourteen year old Amari Peterson, who
had attended the gathering at a local banquet hall. His mother,
Kim Peterson, shattered with just heartbreak, said online that her
son was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.
My baby was innocent, she said. Who would have known
my baby wasn't going to come home with me. Peterson
described Amari as a kind, caring team with a passion
(27:27):
for sports, especially basketball and football. She asked the community
to keep her family and Amari's friends in their prayers
as they navigate this unimaginable loss, and they did set
up a GoFundMe page to help assist with funeral expenses.
You know, people don't think about that, that you would
lose your child, you know, and all the cost of that.
The shooting also claimed the life of twenty one year
(27:48):
old Susano Archiletta, who had been attending the party to
celebrate a friend's daughter. Two younger victims were also killed,
including an eight year old student from a local school
whose parent works for the Stockton Unified School District. A
nine year old child was also fatally wounded. Authorities reported
that eleven additional people were injured in the attack. As
of this recording, no suspects have been arrested, and the
(28:10):
investigation remains ongoing. Crime Stoppers so if you're from that area,
y'all listen up. Crime Stoppers is offering a ten thousand
dollars reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction
of those involved. The mayor matched that with another ten
thousand dollars, and with a five thousand dollars contribution from
Councilwoman mary Ella Ponce. The total reward now stands at
(28:31):
twenty five thousand dollars. And guys, that's enough. You know,
somebody needs to come forward, somebody knows something. Who the
hell shoots up a child's birthday party?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, and you know, it's shocking to me that eleven people,
okay in total, including children, shot and injured, with four
of those I'm now seeing being killed. So apparently somebody
didn't make it that initially they thought was gonna make it.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
But eleven injured, four killed, and no suspects. That's just shocking. Yeah,
that you know, how does that happen?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
And I know the police are doing everything they can
to figure this out. Certainly not their fault, but got
lee in this? In this society where you have cameras everywhere,
from red light cameras to ring cameras.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
To you would think everybody check your cameras.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I'm sure they've said this, but if you're in the Stockton,
California area, check your cameras and just see if you see.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
A car hauling ass down the right around that time.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I mean it might be worth twenty five grand. You
I hate to make a lot of money, but you
never know. And these babies we need answers to this
and the adult you know, people that are injured in
fighting for their lives obviously, but to shoot blindly. I'm
assuming I don't know if the shooter went in the
building or not, but it sounds like just to shoot
blindly with no care in the world, thought man, Just
(29:59):
like you know, I got to add this real quick.
I'm watching a show or a series right now. I
know I'm late to the ball game here, but I'm
watching Vikings. Have you watched it? Okay? I love it,
that's my speed. But the thing that makes the violence,
I guess, uh, cinematic is you have adults fighting adults
over you know, with a with a you know, a
(30:20):
cause in mind, property or whatever. And the reason that
you like the show is because it's adults fighting adults.
When we have adults now slaughtering children that are defenseless
at a birthday party, it just adds an element of
just flat out anger in me. And now they're and
they're walking free, just walking free, like they didn't just
go murder these people, right, And.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
I'm sure that the targets were adults and they just
didn't give a shit. Everybody now, which makes it even worse.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
You did collateral damage.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Let's go to Georgia.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
An inmate described by authorities as armed and dangerous, is
on the run after escaping from an Atlanta hospital early Monday.

Hey folks, and welcome back to this look into the
headlines wrapping up the first week in December, and the
topics we're going to talk about today include In Louisiana,
all the talk centers around new LSU head coach hire
Lane Kiffin, who in his press conference made a claim
(00:21):
that old miss Fans tried to run him off the
road upon his exit from Oxford. We're gonna address that.
In Michigan, the body of Rebecca Park has been found
in a national force and her mother and stepfather have been.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Charged in her murder.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
In Virginia, a high school football coach is still on
the run in this fifteenth day of the man hunt
after he is charged with several counts of child porn.
In Austin, Texas, police are determining no foul play in
the death of a Texas A and M cheerleader, but
the fan is saying not so fast. We got the
(01:03):
up to the minute details on that case and so
much more today on Crime Wire Weekly.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I am Jim Chapman.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I'm Kelly Jennings. What's going on? Jim? I know you
got a big smile on your face. I do, and
you got on your LSU purple and gold jacket I do.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It was raining this morning and you know those for
the folks that can't see us. It rained heavily this morning,
still raining, and I bought an LSU jacket, like a
rain jacket. Yeah, a little deal that you can pack
away and it folds up so nice and you can
just put it in your car. And I've been wanting
to wear it for like six months, but I've never
(01:41):
had to go anywhere where it was raining when I
actually left the house, so I was excited today.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I can hear it swishing. Yeah, if you can yell
you that, it's awesome, make that noise, boy.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, I love it. I love this jacket. Anyway, I
guess let's get into the crime headline. You got anything
you want to talk about?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
No, I'm stoked about what you're going to talk about first,
I think.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I am also stoked if and if you follow my
personal Facebook page, this will not shock you at all.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I am. Look, y'all, I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
About Lane Kiffin being the LSU football coach. I know
we don't have a show about football or sports, but
this relates to crime because he alleged a crime, and
how dare you commit a crime against LSU's new coach.
And I do want to say before I get into it,
I know we have some Mississippi fans out there, and
(02:35):
I totally get it that you are very hurt on.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
The decision that Kiff had made.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
But us, as LSU fans, we're very excited to have
him here. And I know all of y'all are saying,
don't get eased to it, and he's gonna leave and
go to Alabama and too, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I just want one national championship in the moment. Yeah,
let's have this.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
But I do hope that old MISSUS football team really
kills it in the playoffs, and you know, I'd like
to see him win. I think they deserve it and
they played a great season.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah, And you have to have a heart for those kids,
to those student athletes that have lost their coach that
you know, you love your coach, you worked hard with
that coach, and now that coach leaves, and I'm sure
that there's a sting behind that. Just as a I
was a college athlete, you know there's a sting behind
that because you have such loyalty to your coach and
you work hard for your coach and then when he leaves,
So my heart really does go out to those kids.
It's a loss.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's a loss, and I think that was a hard
decision by everybody. And look, Lane made his decision, and
so uh, you have a new coach and get behind
him and kill it in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
All right, let's get into it.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
This latest Lane kiff and saga finally ended when he
left for Baton Ridge this past Sunday, but Kiffen later
revealed that some Ole miss fans created a rocky route
to the Oxford, Mississippi Airport. He claimed that a group
of unhappy fans attempted Now I want to I want
to really stress that attempted to chase his car off
(04:03):
the road. And the reason I want to stress that
is the athletic director came out in a podcast yesterday
and I'm not throwing shade on the guy.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
He said this.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
He said, as well as the commissioner for the police
in the state of Mississippi, whatever you call that person.
They came out and said they have no report of
any accidents involving Lane Kifvin.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Y'all.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
He never said he got in an accident. He said
people were attempting to run him off the road. Was
he exaggerating that a little bit?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But look, I have no doubt some people in Oxford
were pulling on the side up and giving him the bird.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Maybe they might have swerved and swerved back real quick
just to mess with him. I don't know, but I
can tell you, as as lethal as they're getting on
social media.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's possible, just like it's possible.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
With LSU fans, we might would do that too when
he look, when he leaves LSU, we're probably gonna swerve
in him a couple of times as well.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Hey, well we did go through this though, if you
remember with Saban, I want golf.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But it it was to be fair to old miss fans.
It was different. He went to the NFL. He didn't
go to another.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
SEC team, and so he went to Alabama.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Well he did via the NFL.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And he wanted this job.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But less Miles just won a national championship when he
came back. I know a lot of people don't know
that story, but he called LSU and he's like, I
want my job back, and they were like, dude, Less
Miles just one a national championship. We can't just hurry
you back. And then by the time that less mile,
we figured out, well he ain't gonna work.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Less wasn't more.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, Saban was already at Alabama.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So anyway, Kiffin was formally introduced as LSU's next head
coach on this past Monday. During the news conference, he
outlined the vision he hoped to bring life to his tenuere,
but he also went into detail about this apparent crime
and his need for police assistance.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
During the tenth.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Moment question quote, call a cop that you know so
they will help you, Kevin said, because you personally know them.
Because you are leaving the state and you got to
turn around and people are screaming at you, you know,
trying to run you off the road. I don't know
what they're gonna do, and so that it affects you.
(06:19):
While kiffn acknowledged old Miss Fan's passion, he also suggested
his experience during the airport trup served as confirmation of
his decision to leave Oxford. Quote in the airport scene
and all the things being said, I understand that it's
the passion, but they're saying that about you, that you
really did a good job for them for six years
(06:42):
and it affects you. And even on the plane ride
down there, I'm kind of like, yeah, we made this decision,
but god, I really you know. And then it kind
of trailed off, and he did say when he got
to LSU and he passed Tiger Stadium, he knew he
made the right place decision. And so look, this happens
(07:03):
all over college sports. I'm glad that nothing violent has
happened thus far, and I wouldn't expect that out of
all miss fans.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
They're just look, they're hurt.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I get it, and we've been there, like Kelly said
with Nick Saban, So there you have it. I just
wanted to clarify he never said he'd gotten an accident,
so that's why no accidents were reported. He just said
some people were swerving. He knows would Lane. Maybe he
was trilling a little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
No, I think that he was just you know, I
don't think he was being literal. I think he was
saying that people are kind of running him out of
Oxford and have turned on him since he left, and
you know, people, what's weird too, is that people do
weird things, like people who chase down celebrities and get
mad over like a role they played and stuff. Those
things happen, and it's like, everybody got to calm down.
We could be mad in a in a athletic sporty way, but.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
It's a game.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
It's a game, bro at the end of the day,
it's a game.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Base Yeah, and for what I'm paying for these season tickets,
we better win.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
All right.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Now, Let's move on to something probably a little bit
more serious here, but authorities in Michigan confirmed that the
body of a woman found in Manistee National Forest last
week is that of Rebecca Park. The discovery of Park's
body came after a week's long search to locate the
missing mother to be, who was last seen shortly before
midnight on November three at her mother's home in Boone Township,
(08:21):
about one hundred miles north of Grand Rapids. Search efforts
are still ongoing, however, the Wexford County Sheriff Trent Taylor
revealed in a statement that Park's autopsy also revealed that
she was no longer pregnant. Park had been thirty eight
weeks pregnant when she went missing, and her body was
discovered three days after she was due to give birth.
The Wexford County Sheriff's Office, along with multiple law enforcement agencies,
(08:45):
is working diligently to determine the condition and potential whereabouts
of the baby. Because this is an active and ongoing investigation,
the information that can be released is extremely limited at
this time. The Sheriff's office also confirmed that two individuals
linked to the case had been arrested late Sunday night,
which is when Park's mother and stepfather were taken into custody.
(09:07):
Courtney Bartholomew, who is forty, was arrested and booked into
the county jail at eleven forty pm on November thirtieth,
and her fiance, Bradley Bartholomew, forty seven, was booked into
custody on December first. It's weird that it would say
her fiance, yet they have the same last name, so
and wouldn't that imply already married.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I'm just saying the article.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, it's a weird thing in the article, but either way.
A court appearance for the pair, initially scheduled for Monday,
actually took place on Tuesday, December second. So at that appearance,
the mother and stepfather was charged with listening to this
eight total counts, and I'm going to kind of shorten
them up here for you, but the first one was
they were charged with committing an offensive homicide murder in
the first degree. The second was homicide felony murder with
(09:52):
DNA taken upon arrest. The third was that there was
a torture component to it. The fourth was conspiracy for
the torture component. The fifth count was the assault of
a pregnant individual causing a miscarriage or still birth. The
sixth count was more about that assault with intentionally causing
the miscarriage and still birth. The seventh count was unlawful
(10:15):
imprisonment and then count eight and the final one was
the offense of dead bodies removing without medical examiner permission,
So it sounds like moving the body obviously after they
killed her. There is no word on whether or not
the recent arrest of Park's fiance and sister are in
the way or in any way related to her death.
Kimberly Park twenty one and Richard Fahler or Fowler forty
(10:37):
three are also being held at the Wexford County Jail
ever since the arrest last week, just hours after the
discovery of Park's body. Kimberly was arrested and booked into
custody at the jail in the early morning hours of
November twenty sixth. She appeared in court later that same
day and she was arigned on charges of tampering with
evidence and lying to a police officer while also filing
a false police report. Her bail was set at seven
(11:00):
hundred and fifty thousand dollars and that's a high bail,
so you know that this is serious. Fowler was taken
into custody at seven thirty pm on November twenty fifth,
and he was arraigned the following day on two counts
of delivering methamphetamy. So now we have another charge. I
don't know what that one's about. But his bail was
set at one million, so even higher than the tampering
(11:21):
and all that. And now the Sheriff's office is not
releasing any further details at this time.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You know, obviously this is a big trending case because
they still haven't found the baby.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah. And the way it's worded is interesting too, because
it says she was no longer pregnant. Obviously, I'm thinking
that she gave birth at some point or are they
saying that she had miscarried? All, well, no, because it
says causing miscarriage and the charges and she was the
baby was viable at that point.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Based on the weeks that she was a hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, so yeah, where's this baby?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So she was.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Scheduled to give birth or she I guess as maybe
to give yeah, three days prior to this, So yeah,
the baby was certainly virble. They did see some things
from the property, including notebooks, a tablet, multiple knives, some
trail knives, and they see some shovels, so that the
(12:20):
thought process here is the police maybe thinking the body
of the baby was buried somewhere in those woods, maybe
near where this young lady's body was found. But we'll
keep you updated on it. Absolutely horrific. And this is
her biological mother, y'all.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, And looking at the photos and we can post
these on Facebook for y'all two. But the photos of
the mom looks rough. Mom looks like she's been through
some stuff here, and it just makes you wonder so
many things could have happened. The knives, they were telling
and we had a case here locally years ago where
the guy got hot So the guy that was arrested
(12:59):
on that the that means in this story, well, we
had a guy locally that was high on drugs and
he cut his own child out of his baby, out
of the mother, his baby, mama, his wife.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Now that was PCP.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah, it was laced, Well it was he smoked a
joint laced with whatever. I don't remember what it was.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I think PCP maybe irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Either way, he lost his mind and he cut that
child physically with a knife out of the mother. So
and that involved drugs and being high and all that.
So this will be a very interesting one to see
what actually happened. But that poor girl, you know, to
know that at the hands of your own mom, something
went wrong.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Well, let's go to Virginia and we're going to talk
about another highly trending case at this moment in time,
and that is the fugitive Virginia high school football coach
who disappeared amid a child pornography investigation.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He was last.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Seen entering a wooded area with a firearm that from
his family attorney. Now for those for me year, Travis Turner,
who is forty six, a very decorated high school football coach.
The head coach of Union High School. This is in
big Stone Gap, Virginia. He left his residence to walk
(14:14):
into a heavily wooded and mountainous area. That was on
November twentieth. The last known contact the family had with
Travis occurred on or about Thursday, November twentieth, after he
left and walked into those woods, and at that point
in time, no arrest warrants have been issued for him
(14:36):
or anything like that, So that makes me think he
was tipped off a little bit about about some things
that were about to occur.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Now. When he didn't come home that evening, his wife.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Called local law enforcement and she was told she had
to wait twenty four hours to file a missing persons report.
The family said that they along were friends of search
the surrounding woods through their effort, though their efforts have
been limited by bad weather in the need to avoid
interfering with.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
An official search.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
On Tuesday, five days after Turner was last seen, authorities
announced he had obtained ten warrants to charge him with
five counts a possession of child pornography in five counts
of using a computer to solicit a minor. Authorities said
the investigation remains ongoing additional charges are pending, and Turner
(15:26):
is now considered a fugitive. So Turner was reported missing
on Friday, November twenty first, a day after he was
seen walking in those woods. Investigators for the Virginia State
Police were returning to his Appalachia is An, Appalachia. I
think I got that one right Appalachia home to speak
with him about the case. Police said they had visited
(15:48):
his home on November twentieth, the day disappeared, but at
that time they were just wanting to talk to him.
They were not seeking to arrest him.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
According to police, that was his tip off.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
That was yeah, well somebody had you know. They went
to attempt to speak to him, and that's when he left.
Somebody had told him were on the way. Whether it
was the police or someone tipped him off, I don't know.
Turner's wife, Leslie Turner, responded after her husband was charged,
saying that none of what's being said about her husband
(16:19):
is true. Quote, he's a good dad, a good husband,
and we want him home.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That's it. I don't know anything. I don't know anything.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Police have launched an extensive search across Wise County. They're
utilizing drones, canines, all of the technology at their disposal,
and they're also doing foot patrols.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Now. He was last seen wearing.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
A gray sweatshirts, sweatpants and glasses and very successful football
coach in that area. Everybody knew this guy and he
is vanished without a trace.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah, I can't find him.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So this also, and this has been reported on some
other outlets too, which I can't obviously confirm her deny
if it's true or not, but that they're thinking he
could have possibly had help in his Uh, I'm gonna
say escape or whatever, or leaving, because I mean, if
you hurt himself with the weapon, you would find the body,
you know, in the woods and then.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Eventually, I mean it's a mountainous area.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, but how far did you get? Because there was
also a meteorologist I had read somewhere else that said
the weather had been a lot hotter and something else,
and that would have impeded how fast he could move.
So what if he went into the woods and then
circled out and then someone gave him a ride. I
don't know. I'm just saying what someone else had said,
that he possibly someone else could have a good point. Yeah,
I could have assisted him. And it makes you wonder
(17:38):
why you bring the gun. Was it to hurt yourself? Well,
we can't find you so or is it to getting
a shootout later on? Should they take you? I don't know.
This is going to turn out bad either way.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I think for him. Yeah, his poor.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Family too, you know, they're just devastated.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Sounds like his wife's in shock to me.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I understand.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah, you would defend your your spouse's honor until otherwise proven.
And she hasn't got anything to go one other than
the accusation. All right, So let's move on to Texas.
Austin authorities said Tuesday that an ongoing probe into the
weekend falling death of Texas A and M student Brianna
Aguilera continues to suggest that the nineteen year old did
not die by homicide, but also cautioned that they have
(18:17):
not reached any conclusions. Since Aguilera fell from a seventeenth
floor balcony Saturday at the twenty one Rio apartments in
West Campus. Her mother and other family members have disputed
the Austin Police Department's initial determination that the incident was
non suspicious and accused detectives of a botched investigation. Assistant
Police Chief Lee Rogers told the American Statesman that findings
(18:39):
continue to point to an accidental fall or suicide, but
that the probe is still open and has expanded in scope.
There's no indication of foul play, Rogers said, adding that
detectives are still piecing together Aguilera's final hours. Investigators have
built a preliminary timeline that places Aguilera at a tailgate
event before the Texas the Texas or University of Texas
(19:01):
and Texas A and M football game. They are reviewing
her movements and interactions throughout the day, including her stay
with friends who live in the apartment from which she fell.
We were looking at things that may or may not
have occurred throughout the day. Meanwhile, the Travis County Medical
Examiner's Office still has not determined an official cause of death.
According to the spokesman, Hector and I think it's nietto
(19:21):
is how you would pronounce that. A full report, including
toxicology results, will likely not be released for several more
weeks as the investigation continues. Aguilera's family has strongly rejected
the idea that her death was an accident or suicide.
Her mother and other relatives say they believe the probe
has been handled poorly and that key procedures such as
preserving the scene and thoroughly questioning those present were neglected.
(19:45):
In a social media post, Aguilera's mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, insisted
her daughter would never jump from such a height, calling
the idea insane. My daughter loved life and was excited
to graduate and pursue her career in law. Rodriguez wrote this,
and then accused basically new since the Austin Police of
not thoroughly investigating. Now, I'm gonna say say this, if
(20:05):
you look at the photo of her, of the daughter,
she seems to be a very well put together kid.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
What you would think of a college cheerleader.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Sorority something like that. She looks well put together. But again,
looks looks don't mean they're going to tell you the
outcome of what happened. And I can see you sitting
on the balcony. I mean I remember being young sitting
on balconies I probably shouldn't have, or standing, you know,
and then losing your balance and flipping over and falling.
(20:37):
The only other option would be that someone pushed her,
or she jumped, or she jumped.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, yeah, I said that, And that's of course I'm
not I'm not saying that I have no door act
knowledge of this case outside of what Kelly just read you.
But uh, there's only three options there. She was either killed,
she fell, or she.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Jumped.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It seems like the intentional jump is just completely off
the table.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
There are absolutely no signs of that.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
It seems like the police are leaning towards and what
Kelly just said, an accidental fall of some sort. Toxology
results have not been released yet that I'm aware of.
Was she drunk and lost her balance? Lost or balance
and you know, like I do every time I drink.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Who knows?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
And I'm not making light of it, but I'm just
saying that could be a possibility. But you know, it's
crazy how social media just goes nuts with so many
theories on these things. One of the social media sites
that I was looking at, the comments, I mean, they
got people accusing her best friend of killing her, all
(21:50):
kinds of things with absolutely no evidence of any of this.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
You know, when you are an idiot, tis best to
keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you
are or not, because once you confirmed you know what
I'm saying, how dare someone too and just erin on
the side of her friends being absolutely innocent. There's nothing
pushing towards that right now as the time that we're
recording this, And how dare you turn around and cuse
somebody of intentionally pushing somebody when right now there's zero
(22:17):
evidence of that.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Zero evidence.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And if it's obvious to you, I would think it
would be obvious to the police and they wouldn't be
treating this now. From the family's perspective, they have their doubts,
as you just mentioned. And look, it's a hard thing
to accept. I could not, you know, imagine losing a child,
and so you're looking for answers.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
And the accident's devastating enough because it could have been prevented. Yeah,
you want to blame something, You want to blame something,
you need to and I understand how that would feel.
You need someone to blame or something to blame. And
oftentimes I can tell you people direct their anger at
the police and they feel like more should be done.
So I'll say this, I bet you the police you
(22:59):
know they're not gonna during an open investigation, but they're
gonna go look through her social media post, They're going
to look through her internal text between friends. Was she
fighting with anybody? Was she fighting with a guy? Maybe
they broke up. They're gonna be looking for all those avenues.
And if none of that is the case, and then
toxicology comes back possibly and I'm just doing what if crea?
I have no foundation here. But and let's say there
(23:21):
is a toxicology that's raised. I mean, come on, it's
a terrible, terrible accident in that event, and the police
can't make up evidence that's not there. So I will
say this. Their family has every right to be upset.
She had her life ahead of her and it's just
devastating regardless of what the outcome is.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
That's right, That's right. So we'll move on. We'll go
into Louisiana and count out. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, just just a horrible story here on police sheriff's
deputy that was killed.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
And this was, you know, Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
A lot of people joke about, you know, you got
to get around relatives you don't like, or people get
into arguments all the time, and that does happen in
some households during Thanksgiving about you know, numerous things, but
this one turned tragic when a Saint John the Baptist
Pairs sheriff's deputy was identified as the victim in a
(24:15):
deadly shooting on Thanksgiving evening. Officials identified the victim as
Shakil Garon, who is thirty five. Officials say Garon was
shot and killed by his brother, Darius Garon, who is
thirty two of morero So, three years younger than his
older brother. The shooting happened just after five thirty pm
(24:37):
on Thanksgiving Day that according to Sheriff Joseph Lopinto, deputies
arrived to find Shaquille Garon lying in the street outside
the home with at least one gunshot wound. Emergency medical
crews and deputies attended life saving efforts, but he was
pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators identified the vehicle Darius
(24:58):
used to flee and share that information with nearby law enforcement.
Around seven pm, a deputy spotted that vehicle, and when
deputies tried to stop it, Darius Garon refused to pull over.
Deputies pursued the vehicle to Lafitte, Louisiana, where it stopped
and Garon ran from the car, but deputies caught him
(25:18):
and took him into custody. A gun was found along
the path where he ran, and he will obviously be
booked with second degree murder.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
The victim in this case, Shaquille Garon, had been with
the Saint John Sheriff's Department for eight years. According to
a statement from Sheriff Mike Tree's office, he was assigned
to the Uniform Patrol Division and he also worked in
the Detective Bureau. Shaquille did his job well. He had
the heart of a public servant. He carried and showed
(25:50):
positivity as an employee for the Saint John Sheriff's Office
and teammate to his co workers. He survived by his wife,
Roxanne and his three childern. That is just it is heartbreaking.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
And this guy here again we have photos of all
these people, because that makes it. That makes it real,
you know, when you can put a face to these
stories and just just looks like a good, good guy man,
just somebody that doing his best, you know, blue collar work,
has kids that loved him and rely on him. And
now he's gone and for.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
What for um? With you brother?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
An argument.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I don't know what happened there, but it was obviously
this part of the moment thing. And and you know,
I'm hopefully his brother totally regrets it as well. He
definitely regrets it now, but in another hero just gone.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah for no reason. All right now, California, this this
right here is just beyond okay. A joyful celebration turned
into a devastating tragedy when a shooting erupted at a
child's birthday party in Stockton, California. This was on November
twenty ninth, and it left four people dead. Three of
those four were children. They also had eleven others injured.
(27:05):
Among the victims was fourteen year old Amari Peterson, who
had attended the gathering at a local banquet hall. His mother,
Kim Peterson, shattered with just heartbreak, said online that her
son was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.
My baby was innocent, she said. Who would have known
my baby wasn't going to come home with me. Peterson
described Amari as a kind, caring team with a passion
(27:27):
for sports, especially basketball and football. She asked the community
to keep her family and Amari's friends in their prayers
as they navigate this unimaginable loss, and they did set
up a GoFundMe page to help assist with funeral expenses.
You know, people don't think about that, that you would
lose your child, you know, and all the cost of that.
The shooting also claimed the life of twenty one year
(27:48):
old Susano Archiletta, who had been attending the party to
celebrate a friend's daughter. Two younger victims were also killed,
including an eight year old student from a local school
whose parent works for the Stockton Unified School District. A
nine year old child was also fatally wounded. Authorities reported
that eleven additional people were injured in the attack. As
of this recording, no suspects have been arrested, and the
(28:10):
investigation remains ongoing. Crime Stoppers so if you're from that area,
y'all listen up. Crime Stoppers is offering a ten thousand
dollars reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction
of those involved. The mayor matched that with another ten
thousand dollars, and with a five thousand dollars contribution from
Councilwoman mary Ella Ponce. The total reward now stands at
(28:31):
twenty five thousand dollars. And guys, that's enough. You know,
somebody needs to come forward, somebody knows something. Who the
hell shoots up a child's birthday party?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, and you know, it's shocking to me that eleven people,
okay in total, including children, shot and injured, with four
of those I'm now seeing being killed. So apparently somebody
didn't make it that initially they thought was gonna make it.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
But eleven injured, four killed, and no suspects. That's just shocking. Yeah,
that you know, how does that happen?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
And I know the police are doing everything they can
to figure this out. Certainly not their fault, but got
lee in this? In this society where you have cameras everywhere,
from red light cameras to ring cameras.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
To you would think everybody check your cameras.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I'm sure they've said this, but if you're in the Stockton,
California area, check your cameras and just see if you see.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
A car hauling ass down the right around that time.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I mean it might be worth twenty five grand. You
I hate to make a lot of money, but you
never know. And these babies we need answers to this
and the adult you know, people that are injured in
fighting for their lives obviously, but to shoot blindly. I'm
assuming I don't know if the shooter went in the
building or not, but it sounds like just to shoot
blindly with no care in the world, thought man, Just
(29:59):
like you know, I got to add this real quick.
I'm watching a show or a series right now. I
know I'm late to the ball game here, but I'm
watching Vikings. Have you watched it? Okay? I love it,
that's my speed. But the thing that makes the violence,
I guess, uh, cinematic is you have adults fighting adults
over you know, with a with a you know, a
(30:20):
cause in mind, property or whatever. And the reason that
you like the show is because it's adults fighting adults.
When we have adults now slaughtering children that are defenseless
at a birthday party, it just adds an element of
just flat out anger in me. And now they're and
they're walking free, just walking free, like they didn't just
go murder these people, right, And.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
I'm sure that the targets were adults and they just
didn't give a shit. Everybody now, which makes it even worse.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
You did collateral damage.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Let's go to Georgia.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
An inmate described by authorities as armed and dangerous, is
on the run after escaping from an Atlanta hospital early Monday.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
