Speaker 2 (01:43):
I ain't paying for the Browns, you know kind of
a thing.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
And so there were visitors initiated claims worth six hundred
thirty three thousand dollars and total. And this was just
in twelve days. So what happened when this story servicing
there's a booth set up at the Ohio State Fair
and you could walk right up and they kind of
(02:07):
start facilitating everything for you. Now, I don't know, like
if you have to give a social and all it,
because I'm going, man, this day and age, I'm not
giving that, especially somebody standing there at.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
A booth right eating a fried pickle or a fried
Oreo sandwich at a county fair.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Hey, look, don't I'm okay with somebody eating that. I
just don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
If they're gonna you're not gonna give it to Kletus
who runs the bears Wheel.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I don't think you do give them money. I just
put in mine right now, and I have. All I
have to do is my name and city I live in.
Twenty six cents is due to oh to me from
City Bank, and it's got my address on it. They
know where to send my twenty six cents.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Hey, that's down from ninety eight cents. Who took the
other one?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I know?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Right, come on now.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
And then there's always a bunch of alex Stones that
like have no address where it's just you know, they
all they have is a name, And I'm like, should
I claim all those?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
How do they know?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
So this this whole thing they started doing this one
person started to claim for more than sixty grand and
forgotten money.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
So I saw that and went, what and what world
do you live in where you're like.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
You lost sixty thousand or misplaced it or somebody owed
you and you're like, eh, whatever, you know what I mean, Like,
how did you not go? I need to figure out
where this is?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
But that's my dream that you log in and you're like,
oh wow, sixty thousand, I had no idea, right, and
then you can you know. They always talk about this
is like the lottery for people, and they sell it
that way, but it's not because it's your money. But
I'm just I just did a search for the other
alex Stones. Yeah, one person's got one hundred and thirty
six bucks, but I never lived in that city. One,
this is a city next to mine. For one hundred dollars.
(03:43):
If you're like, you know, I should be able to
claim that, right, one hundred and fifty bucks like that
ten cents this guy right, like you know, so it's
none of it's huge six hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
This person, I should be that alex Stone.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yes, and you could be if well, I guess the
average claim for them. Somebody who visited this kiosk at
the fair was five hundred twenty seven dollars and thirty
five cents.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's the average.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Since they started doing They started this in twenty twenty one.
So for the last four years, it's over one point
six million that people have claimed.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
From the average person is over five hundred bucks. Yeah,
they have left sitting somewhere and they never.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Went and claimed it.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And I wonder what most of those are.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Are those accounts that they've closed, like checking accounts, yeah, or.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Or like some sort of a deposit that from an
apartment that you were ready.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
A million year at a cart and then you get
a refund for something, yes exactly, and.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You move from a different address and then it goes there.
And they're not going to work real hard to find you.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
If they owe you, if they have your address, they're
not going to send you the money unless you go
through the whole claims process.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
No, No, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
So, uh, Tennessee, man on the run for killing family
was caught. That's what you're reporting on. It looks like
today too, So give us the latest on this.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, so this has really been haunting Jackson ten see
between Nashville and Memphis for the last week. July twenty eighth,
baby was found alive in a car seat abandoned on
the front lawn of a random home in Jackson, and
that led police to then finding trying to find the
baby family. And then they found the family, four family
members dead on a road and they had been killed.
(05:19):
The baby had been kidnapped and then dumped and just left.
And the killer was identified as Austin Drummond. And they
have had quite the man hunt looking for Austin Drummond.
And today, a little while ago, they announced we're here today.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
To confirm that Austin Drummond has been taken into custody.
More importantly, his capture occurred without any further harm to
the public or to any law enforcement offers.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
So he was arrested in a wooded area. He looked
in a photo they gave us all sweaty or wet
in the woods. But he had been seen in the area.
One man telling our teams that he saw an open
door to a greenhouse that was never open and he
watched it and then saw Drummond walk out and he
called nine one one. They say they got a lot
of nine one one calls today and then they moved
in and arrested.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Him this morning. However, a couple of encounters with Drummond
changed that methodical search to a dynamic one. Just after
eight o'clock am, we received multiple calls of sightings of
the suspect.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
And they have no idea, they say, on a motive.
But there was a family connection between Drummond and the
Victims' girlfriend was related to three of those who were killed.
But they don't know if it was an argument, you know,
what went on. But during the search for of what
they're calling his associates were also arrested as part of this,
so they've got plenty to put together. They say they
don't understand the motive. They know there's that family connection.
(06:33):
But this guy who's been making national news is he's
been on the run. He's now under arrest.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Well, I'm so happy that they got him. And you
know what, I'm really happy that people who noticed that
door open. Alex Yeah, said that normally it sounded like
they were just watching because it's typically not open and
not going there and approaching, because I would imagine this
guy would have done anything to get away, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, Yeah, well, and yeah, a lot of this comes
back to they got his photo out there in the
media and people had seen it, and then when he
came out, they immediately knew who it was and they
called nine to one one. So it makes a difference
that those people are the ones who alerted the police.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Today.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, very good. At least that's ended where they got
him and nobody else can be nobody else hurt. Yeah,
you just kind of wonder what, you know, what is
all behind it? And I'm sure that will unfold hopefully
in the in the weeks to come.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
As far as alive, they're gonna have to prosecute him.
It'll come out in court and all that.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, like what was behind the four family members that
he and it was his family that they found.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
The family of his girlfriend. So yeah, was there an argument?
Was he defending his girlfriend in some way? Was it
something else that ticked him off that they don't know
that yet?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, all right, very good.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
