Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What else is going on?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Time for What's happening wide? Will? Will you witnessed this firsthand,
this once in a thousand year rainfall event in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
It did seem a little odd, you know, I just
I kept waiting for the rain to stop, and I'm like,
it's really coming down? Is this a thing? Does this
happen a lot here? And it surprised forecasters. They knew
that there was going to be rainfall this week, they
just did not anticipate the near tropical storm.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
They said.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
In Carolina Beach under a state of emergency after eighteen
inches of rain fell in twelve hours. More than a
foot of rain in twelve hours reported elsewhere in the area.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Once in a two hundred year rain event is what
they call that.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
This is one of those ones where people had to
be rescued from their cars because the floods came in
so quickly. Roads were collapsed, businesses shut down.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Would you?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
But do you recognize that there was a lot of
I mean, where is it now? There's still a lot
of standing water or anything.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, this was along the coast, so like Carolina Beach
is right on shore there, and so Charlotte is more inland.
So what we got were the kind of the fringes
of the big storm that was collapsing roads and things
like that. It was just a steady rain and very
heavy at times, and the wind gusts were pretty incredible.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
I'd say wind gus up to fifty miles per hour
at times.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
An armed murder suspect they thought was barricaded inside of
building downtown La, not inside the structure.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Now they're looking for him. They were contacted to.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Cops were at just about one o'clock this morning by
somebody who said they saw a guy near Fifth police
were looking for in connection with a homicide last week.
Officers saw this guy and attempted to stop him. He
ran inside the building there at East Fifth, So they
called a squat team and somehow the guy squirted out
the other side.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
They found them.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So Uppland Upland police are asking the public to help
track down three women. They have very clear pictures of
these women on surveillance camera footage. They stole fifteen bottles
of wine in upland from a family owned convenience store.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Apparently one of the.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Women's dresses had what's known as a kangaroo pouch where
they were able to conceal the bottles.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Fifteen bottles of wine.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
That seems like too many ladies. One woman distracted the
clerk and the other grabbed bottles and hid them in
the dress pouch. They didn't buy anything, They got away
with the wine, to the tune of about eleven hundred
dollars left in a blue Honda Odyssey with an organ plate.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
A bottle of wine, standard bottle of wine, four glasses. Ways,
about how much would you say a full bottle of wine?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Standard bottle of wine?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Oh, I don't know, pound and a half.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
About two and a half?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Okay, fifteen that's forty pounds plus of wine hanging in
this woman's kangaroo pouch. You how do you walk out
without that making a bunch of noise? You're banging fifteen
wine bottles together, right, That's very shocking to me, the
noise that it would make. Also, what is a kangaroo
(03:22):
pouch in a dress? Does your wife have any kangaroo pouches? Well,
if we were in the business of stealing bottles of
wine several at a time. I would sew in a
kangaroo pouch into one of her lengthy floor dresses.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
When I'm thinking about a kangaroo pouch, I'm thinking about
like a sweatshirt, like a hoodie, where you have the
center pocket and both your hands go in from.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Either side, but the pocket would be on top. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think that's what it is. That's just very odd.
I don't know how you could fit fifteen bottles in there.
I guess some of them went in the pouch, some
of them went elsewhere. I hope so on behalf of
that pouch. It's a reinforced pouch, perhaps our little pouch.
Pastor from Orange County has been freed from China after
(04:06):
nearly twenty years behind bars.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
He's back home in the United States.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Sixty eight year old David Linn was detained when he
went into China in two thousand and six, later convicted
of contract fraud, and he was sentenced to life in
prison there in China, he is a pastor with the
Evangelical for Motion Church of Orange County down in Garden Grove.
The Biden administration said they've been working on his case
(04:30):
and those other wrongly detained Americans in China for years,
and they raised their names at every meeting with senior
Chinese officials, including a meeting that Anthony Blincoln had this
summer with the Chinese Foreign Minister, and they said, the
whole thing is just to try to keep open communications
and tamp down any potential hotspots, and in this case
(04:53):
argue for the freedom of people like Pastor Lynn, a.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Key employee who labeled Doomed Experimental Submersible unsafe prior to
that last fatal voyage, testified today that he frequently fought
with the company's co founder, felt the company was committed
only to making money and not to science. This was
the titan that imploded en route to the wreckage of
(05:19):
the Titanic last year, killing all five on board.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
This guy joined the company in the mid twenty tens teens,
I guess as a veteran engineer and a submersible pilot.
He said, very quickly came to feel that he was
being used to lend the company some sort of scientific credibility,
and felt the company was selling him as part of
the project for people to come up and pay money,
and it did not sit well with him. He says,
I felt like a show pony. I was made by
(05:44):
the company to stand there and to do talks, and
it was difficult because I had to go up and
do presentations in all of it.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
September's harvest moon is going to collide with a super
moon and a partial lunar eclipse. Jacob is the guy
we go to for how this is going to affect
us on the on the zodiac spectrum. What does a
harvest moon mean for us?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
It means absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Oh, I mean, it's not going to affect our Nope.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Now one bit bio che rhythms are she is it she?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Or chi?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Chi? Or chie?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
What's it going to do to my chi?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Move it?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Move it?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, move my chie.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Just move it around, kind of mix things up.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
The harvest moon is the full moon closest to the
autumnal equinox.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Ah the autumnal equinox.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It dates back to a time before electricity, so does
the moon. And then a partial lunar eclipse happens when
the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting
a shadow of the darkens this liver of the moon
and appears to take a bite out of it all
of that will be visible tonight this evening.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I have a friend who is a medium, and she
says that flooding and can tamp dominated water our potential
energetics at this time. That Pisces is ruled by Neptune
and governs large bodies of water. She says, I was
(07:11):
sitting on my balcony and this geyser of water shot
up from the ground.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Immediately I remembered the eclipse in Pisces.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Wait.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Ps, the gardeners are fixing it now.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Oh so apparently there's some sort of water and flooding
that could exist.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Wait, that's why we're having the rains in North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Me exactly, Hell you guys.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I love it when things come together and make sense.
Another big story of the day, the Lebanese Ministry of
Public Health says at least eight people have been killed
twenty seven more at least injured after a number of
pagers exploded. It appears it was a coordinated hack attack.
Joining us now is Shannon Kingston from ABC News. She's
the State Department correspondent, And Shannon, this is an odd one.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
We didn't know that pagers were so prolific.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Yeah, it is our real interesting factor in all of this,
because really, the scenes we've seen play out across Lebanon
are right out.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Of a movie.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You've got these heasible fighters just walking around living their
day to day when all of a sudden, across the
country and parts of Syria, at almost the exact same moment,
the pages they're carrying exploded, and as you noted, eight
people were killed.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
That death poll is likely to rise.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
And really the reason they have these pages, it's interesting,
is because Israel is believed to be able to hack
into their cell phone. So after October seventh, Heage blow
Leader instructed them to go low tech carry around the
pagers because they cannot be traced. So clearly that is
a plan that appears to have backfired.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, pardon the pun.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
There is something weirdly this sweet spot of technology where
it's low tech enough that Israel can't track it necessarily,
but it's high tech enough that something happened, whether it
was a message that was sent some code that was
sent to it, that causes we think the batteries to
explode on these pages and in many cases pretty violently.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
All Right, Well, US officials in the intelligence.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Community, really everybody is befunneled by this.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
No one has a.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Clear idea that we've spoken to.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Any of my colleagues have spoken to.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
A clear idea of how the attack was carried out,
And there are a.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Lot of interesting theories.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
One of them is that the pagers could have been
packed with a kind of explosive powder that once it
heaps off, it goes off, It goes up in smoke
and explodes, as we've seen in similar incidents with Lycian batteries.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
But it's not.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Clear that happened, and even if that's what sparked the explosions,
it's not clear how whoever carried out the attack was
able to trigger it across at the same time, across
a relatively large, expansive territory.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
To that end, understand that some of the explosions may
have taken place in Damascus, Syria. What's the relevance or
importance of hes BELA members in Damascus having these pages also.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Well, really there's a lot of overlap between hes BLA.
They are of course known to be tied to Lebanon.
They are basically the governing authority in much of the country,
but there are a lot of similar Iranian backed militias
in Syria as well, and they have you know, some overlap,
they do business together basically, so that would explain why
(10:34):
those fighters are there. And you know, really that's something
that US intelligence is working to figure out as well.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Was this an incident where all.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Of the pages distributed to hesbla we're able to get
someone was able to hack into them and perpetrate this
attack or is this was it targeted?
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Are these specialized units?
Speaker 5 (10:53):
That's something they'll be looking at.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
But it does appear that this was very widespread and
is it just the beginning? Is it not an isolated event?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
It does seem that whoever carried this out was planning
it for weeks, if not months. The US has made
very clear that it played no role in this incident
and did not have any prior warning about it. Now
Israel has been very tight lipped. Of course, hes LA
has blamed the Israeli government for carrying out this strike,
and we have seen incidents in the past where they
(11:23):
have done high profile assassinations and attacks but not taken
any any blame for it, not taking credit for.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
It, and just you know, continued on. So we'll see
if that powern.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Plays out again, and then at your point, I mean,
Israel has not claimed responsibility. This is well within I
know it's weird and it's a weird situation, but it
is assumed to be well within their scope of.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Technology.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
They're a very technologically advanced nation and has used technology
many times in order to defend itself before.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
That's absolutely right.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
They have a thriving technology industry. There's often innovations that
even outpace the US government and other high tech players here.
So it is definitely not beyond the realm of possibility
that Israel would be able to develop the technology and
really the coordination to carry out something like this.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
But that's US officials. They're still they're not clear on it.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
That's something that's going to be discussed through.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Diplomatic channels, through military channels.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Really already right now, we know those conversations are playing
out as they try to really get to the bottom
of this.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Awesome Shannon Kingston, ABC News State Department correspondent, thanks for
your time, thank you, And she points out that the
technology and the technical the industry that exists there in
Israel and how advanced it is. Remember it was an
Israeli company that helped the American law enforcement agencies break
(12:56):
into the phone of the terrorists that show brought up
the Christmas party out in San Bernardino. We're talking earlier
about this survey that suggested that about twenty percent of
parents are concerned that their kids don't have any friends.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, I agree the friend situation can
be tough with kids, but I think as parents we
can help them navigate this by helping them be involved
in different things, whether it's clubs at school or sports
or theater, something where they're interacting with other people in person,
and also remind them that they can't just wait around
(13:32):
for somebody to reach out to them. They need to
be proactive and reaching out and being a friend to
other people to help them find friends.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yes, and like every other thing that you're trying to
teach your kids, you have to exemplify it. You have
to show them how to do it, how to make friends,
keep friends, foster those friendships. And that's not always the
easiest thing to do because they also those little buggers.
They have hearing they do and they the much more
(14:00):
savvy when it comes to relationship discussions than you think.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Well, they're little sponges, so they if you're manipulating your
friendships or what have you, it's kind of easy for
them to pick up on that.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah, that's not good.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Just a quick reminder, by the way, we are doing
a News and Bruce next week. You're damn right we are.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
We will be at BJS on Beach Boulevard in Huntington
Beach next Thursday, nine to one.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
You're having a lot of time to get ready for
this one.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You're having a lot of time to start planning how
you're going to skip out on work for another Thursday.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
We actually did, if I remember this correctly. We did
get a talkback last week that said someone was planning
on coming to the event that we did in Cerritos,
but they were actually hit with the sports and decided that,
in fact, that was probably not the best place to go.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, we are like a public swimming pool. If you
have active diarrhea, don't come to the show.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
We don't want you.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
We don't want it.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
It's for you, it's for you.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I don't want you to have to run to the
bathroom and there's other people in there and then it's
embarrassing and your flesh and the toilet and it's a
hole to do.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
The other thing is you can't hear the show when
you're in the bathroom usually.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Right, which is a benefit I guess to diarrhea. This
is enough time, This is enough fore warning that you
can even lie about, like a dentist appointment. Oh yeah,
you know, a root canal. You got to have three
fillings done at the same time.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Pouch some of you. You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Really, you're just saying as an excuse, right, Yeah, that's
Dental work is always unavoidable.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You know, you got to get those teeth that worked on.
If you neglect your teeth, it leads to other health problems.
You should tell your boss.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That thanks yuckmouth.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I'm not a yuck mouth.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh you're not.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
But the yuckmouth guy from the Saturday Morning cartoons would
always tell us that same thing.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Oh really, yeah, I never watched those cartoons.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Time for True Crime Tuesday. The story is true, that's true. No,
it sounds made up. I don't know. Perry and Shannon
present True Crime.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
See.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
The problem with that beautiful open of the segment is
that it sounds like it's gonna be fun or funny,
and it's usually about dead people.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, that's so, that's a good point. But it's true.
It's true crime. Well we I mean, we we all
gonna die sometime.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
One of America's most notorious missing child cold cases may
be closer to being solved. Cops now believe that nine
year old ash A Degree was killed by a suspect
whose identity they have found out.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah, this was from Valentine's Day, very early in the
morning on Valentine's Day in the year two thousand. Asha
had vanished from her home there in North Carolina, Shelby,
North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
This was a well behaved, well adjusted little girl, good family.
And it was odd because she really told no one.
She packed her book bag and she sneaked out of
the house.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And they don't know why. It was rainy that night,
and she was seen by a couple of people. It
would be odd to see a nine year old walking
on the street or super early in the morning overnight.
Early in the morning, they did see her walking, but
apparently she vanished into a wooded area as those people
(17:30):
who saw her stop to try to help her.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
The Sheriff's office believe that she believes that she was murdered,
that her body was hidden.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
They have yet to locate the remains at this point,
but last week cops executed search warrants at multiple properties,
including an address in Shelby and assisted living facility in
nearby Vail, and a home in Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, and the connection for these three locations is the
Deadman family. That's spelled differently than it sounds, but it's uh,
but it's yes'y relevant the Deadman family. The warrants requested
after DNA samples actually linked Asha with a woman named
Anna Lee Deadman Rameraz, who was obviously an adult and
(18:16):
has married, but she was thirteen at the time that
Asha disappeared.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
The DNA also was connected to a man called Russell Underhill.
These samples were found on.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Her backpack, the little girl's backpack.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
That was found wrapped in two sealed black plastic bags
a year after she vanished.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Think about that. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Again, this is a very rural area. So the idea
that you'd be able to find that you that you'd
find plastic bags and then look inside of them unless
they were found by law enforce. And I don't know
exactly where who found these, but the again, the DNA
was found on the backpack that the little girl had,
(18:59):
So according to documents, a hair sample that was taken
from a shirt in the bag appeared to match Annalie
Deadmond Ramirez's DNA A thirteen year old. She would have
been thirteen at the time, and at the time of
ashes passing, there were a couple of other sisters. Annelie
had a couple of older sisters who were fifteen and sixteen.
(19:20):
So there's multiple people around this Deadman family, and they
now say that they believe something happened. There's some connection
with that family and the actual homicide of Ash a degree.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
They haven't gone into detail about who they believe was responsible,
but they believe in an adult was involved, that an adult
must have been involved in the crime as well, because
it's not just the crime, but it's the hiding of
the crime, it's the cover up, it's the moving of
the body, things like that.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, so you think of the parents, right, Well, the parents,
Roy and Connie Deadman to cops would have been necessary,
one or both of them would have been necessary in
the concealment of this crime. Now, the dad's home, located
just a few miles away from where ashe was last seen,
was one of those properties that was searched by law enforcement,
(20:15):
and they took a bunch of stuff, including and this
is a weird thing, including a car that slightly resembled
one that was in connection with Ash's disappearance that someone
said they saw her get into a car.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, they believe that she entered this seventies era green
vehicle on that night, and that was similar to the
one that was being towed last week, which is eerie
or odd, I should say, because if at the time
they had somebody that saw her getting into this green vehicle,
a seventies era green vehicle, then you would be searching
the neighbors. And this guy just lived a few miles away.
(20:54):
And like you said, it's rural. It's not home home, home,
home home. It's home a little bit of space home,
you know what I mean. So why wouldn't this property,
this garage had been searched they see the green vehicle
at the time, I don't know, well, and.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
It's it does say that the original the original description
from the FBI was that they were looking for a
green Ford Thunderbird or Lincoln Mark four. And the actual
car that they towed last week happened to be an
AMC Rambler. I didn't know enough. I looked them up.
The Thunderbird and the Mark four had those gigantic, square,
(21:33):
very angular front ends. I mean, it looked like someone
slapped a slab of metal on the front of those things.
It was a big, boxy car. The Rambler was a
much smaller, had more curves in it. Dare I say sexy.
No it was, but it was a very different look
to the front end of the car.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Maybe different.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I don't know where they saw it from, but they
also said they took a variety of computers and laptops
and cell phones that were recovered.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
We are in the midst of true Crime Tuesday talking
about the disappearance from Valentine's Day two thousand of nine
year old Asha Degree in North Carolina and some recent
DNA hits. One hit was on maybe a neighborhood type
friend of hers who was thirteen at the time. Again,
Asha was nine, and authorities believe that she had some
(22:25):
other sisters fifteen and sixteen at the time. But it
could not have been a crime committed and covered up
by just juvenile females. They believe an adult had to
have some sort of influence on this especially about moving
a body, hiding a body, all of that. A second
DNA match was a hit on a guy by the
name of Russell Underhill.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, this Russell underhere apparently lived in at least two
of the facilities that was owned by this neighborhood friend's parents,
Roy and Connie. Deadman.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Now he's dead. He died in two and four.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
That's perhaps the unfortunate portion of this, because if he
did have something to do with it, it'd be nice
to be able to tie this up into a boat.
They said that the connection between this Russell Underhill guy
and the family does remain unclear, but said that he
knew and associated with the dad. The thirteen year old
(23:21):
at the time thirteen year old obviously he's now grown adult.
Her home in Charlotte was raided by officials last week
and they took a BlackBerry again who he is using
technology from the late nineties time.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I was super jealous because I loved the BlackBerry. I
was upset when I had to let it go.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Investigators have since discovered that the dad was using his daughters,
in this case teenagers, to transport patients in an unreliable
vehicle to and from a hospital.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
In near my Morganton.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Is that some sort of racket where it's like free
rides to and from the hospital.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Well, if they owned what do we call it, If
they owned an assisted living facility and they're making money
off of the new patients that are being brought in,
it just cuts down on costs. You don't have to
pay for an ambulance to transport them, or have a
nurse on call or something in the transport when your
seventeen year old daughter will do.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
It for free. I see.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
But they said that investigators have discovered that he was
using his daughters to transport those patients, and that at
the time of Asha's disappearance, when she was nine years old,
it would have been right along Highway eighteen there in
North Carolina, that it would be the most logical route
to travel, and that it's likely that that was the
route that she was on when she disappeared that very
(24:45):
early Valentine's Day in the year two thousand.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six

This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What else is going on?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Time for What's happening wide? Will? Will you witnessed this firsthand,
this once in a thousand year rainfall event in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
It did seem a little odd, you know, I just
I kept waiting for the rain to stop, and I'm like,
it's really coming down? Is this a thing? Does this
happen a lot here? And it surprised forecasters. They knew
that there was going to be rainfall this week, they
just did not anticipate the near tropical storm.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
They said.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
In Carolina Beach under a state of emergency after eighteen
inches of rain fell in twelve hours. More than a
foot of rain in twelve hours reported elsewhere in the area.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Once in a two hundred year rain event is what
they call that.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
This is one of those ones where people had to
be rescued from their cars because the floods came in
so quickly. Roads were collapsed, businesses shut down.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Would you?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
But do you recognize that there was a lot of
I mean, where is it now? There's still a lot
of standing water or anything.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, this was along the coast, so like Carolina Beach
is right on shore there, and so Charlotte is more inland.
So what we got were the kind of the fringes
of the big storm that was collapsing roads and things
like that. It was just a steady rain and very
heavy at times, and the wind gusts were pretty incredible.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
I'd say wind gus up to fifty miles per hour
at times.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
An armed murder suspect they thought was barricaded inside of
building downtown La, not inside the structure.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Now they're looking for him. They were contacted to.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Cops were at just about one o'clock this morning by
somebody who said they saw a guy near Fifth police
were looking for in connection with a homicide last week.
Officers saw this guy and attempted to stop him. He
ran inside the building there at East Fifth, So they
called a squat team and somehow the guy squirted out
the other side.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
They found them.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So Uppland Upland police are asking the public to help
track down three women. They have very clear pictures of
these women on surveillance camera footage. They stole fifteen bottles
of wine in upland from a family owned convenience store.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Apparently one of the.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Women's dresses had what's known as a kangaroo pouch where
they were able to conceal the bottles.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Fifteen bottles of wine.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
That seems like too many ladies. One woman distracted the
clerk and the other grabbed bottles and hid them in
the dress pouch. They didn't buy anything, They got away
with the wine, to the tune of about eleven hundred
dollars left in a blue Honda Odyssey with an organ plate.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
A bottle of wine, standard bottle of wine, four glasses. Ways,
about how much would you say a full bottle of wine?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Standard bottle of wine?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Oh, I don't know, pound and a half.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
About two and a half?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Okay, fifteen that's forty pounds plus of wine hanging in
this woman's kangaroo pouch. You how do you walk out
without that making a bunch of noise? You're banging fifteen
wine bottles together, right, That's very shocking to me, the
noise that it would make. Also, what is a kangaroo
(03:22):
pouch in a dress? Does your wife have any kangaroo pouches? Well,
if we were in the business of stealing bottles of
wine several at a time. I would sew in a
kangaroo pouch into one of her lengthy floor dresses.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
When I'm thinking about a kangaroo pouch, I'm thinking about
like a sweatshirt, like a hoodie, where you have the
center pocket and both your hands go in from.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Either side, but the pocket would be on top. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think that's what it is. That's just very odd.
I don't know how you could fit fifteen bottles in there.
I guess some of them went in the pouch, some
of them went elsewhere. I hope so on behalf of
that pouch. It's a reinforced pouch, perhaps our little pouch.
Pastor from Orange County has been freed from China after
(04:06):
nearly twenty years behind bars.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
He's back home in the United States.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Sixty eight year old David Linn was detained when he
went into China in two thousand and six, later convicted
of contract fraud, and he was sentenced to life in
prison there in China, he is a pastor with the
Evangelical for Motion Church of Orange County down in Garden Grove.
The Biden administration said they've been working on his case
(04:30):
and those other wrongly detained Americans in China for years,
and they raised their names at every meeting with senior
Chinese officials, including a meeting that Anthony Blincoln had this
summer with the Chinese Foreign Minister, and they said, the
whole thing is just to try to keep open communications
and tamp down any potential hotspots, and in this case
(04:53):
argue for the freedom of people like Pastor Lynn, a.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Key employee who labeled Doomed Experimental Submersible unsafe prior to
that last fatal voyage, testified today that he frequently fought
with the company's co founder, felt the company was committed
only to making money and not to science. This was
the titan that imploded en route to the wreckage of
(05:19):
the Titanic last year, killing all five on board.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
This guy joined the company in the mid twenty tens teens,
I guess as a veteran engineer and a submersible pilot.
He said, very quickly came to feel that he was
being used to lend the company some sort of scientific credibility,
and felt the company was selling him as part of
the project for people to come up and pay money,
and it did not sit well with him. He says,
I felt like a show pony. I was made by
(05:44):
the company to stand there and to do talks, and
it was difficult because I had to go up and
do presentations in all of it.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
September's harvest moon is going to collide with a super
moon and a partial lunar eclipse. Jacob is the guy
we go to for how this is going to affect
us on the on the zodiac spectrum. What does a
harvest moon mean for us?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
It means absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Oh, I mean, it's not going to affect our Nope.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Now one bit bio che rhythms are she is it she?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Or chi?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Chi? Or chie?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
What's it going to do to my chi?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Move it?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Move it?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, move my chie.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Just move it around, kind of mix things up.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
The harvest moon is the full moon closest to the
autumnal equinox.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Ah the autumnal equinox.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It dates back to a time before electricity, so does
the moon. And then a partial lunar eclipse happens when
the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting
a shadow of the darkens this liver of the moon
and appears to take a bite out of it all
of that will be visible tonight this evening.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I have a friend who is a medium, and she
says that flooding and can tamp dominated water our potential
energetics at this time. That Pisces is ruled by Neptune
and governs large bodies of water. She says, I was
(07:11):
sitting on my balcony and this geyser of water shot
up from the ground.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Immediately I remembered the eclipse in Pisces.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Wait.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Ps, the gardeners are fixing it now.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Oh so apparently there's some sort of water and flooding
that could exist.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Wait, that's why we're having the rains in North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Me exactly, Hell you guys.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I love it when things come together and make sense.
Another big story of the day, the Lebanese Ministry of
Public Health says at least eight people have been killed
twenty seven more at least injured after a number of
pagers exploded. It appears it was a coordinated hack attack.
Joining us now is Shannon Kingston from ABC News. She's
the State Department correspondent, And Shannon, this is an odd one.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
We didn't know that pagers were so prolific.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Yeah, it is our real interesting factor in all of this,
because really, the scenes we've seen play out across Lebanon
are right out.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Of a movie.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You've got these heasible fighters just walking around living their
day to day when all of a sudden, across the
country and parts of Syria, at almost the exact same moment,
the pages they're carrying exploded, and as you noted, eight
people were killed.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
That death poll is likely to rise.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
And really the reason they have these pages, it's interesting,
is because Israel is believed to be able to hack
into their cell phone. So after October seventh, Heage blow
Leader instructed them to go low tech carry around the
pagers because they cannot be traced. So clearly that is
a plan that appears to have backfired.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, pardon the pun.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
There is something weirdly this sweet spot of technology where
it's low tech enough that Israel can't track it necessarily,
but it's high tech enough that something happened, whether it
was a message that was sent some code that was
sent to it, that causes we think the batteries to
explode on these pages and in many cases pretty violently.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
All Right, Well, US officials in the intelligence.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Community, really everybody is befunneled by this.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
No one has a.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Clear idea that we've spoken to.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Any of my colleagues have spoken to.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
A clear idea of how the attack was carried out,
And there are a.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Lot of interesting theories.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
One of them is that the pagers could have been
packed with a kind of explosive powder that once it
heaps off, it goes off, It goes up in smoke
and explodes, as we've seen in similar incidents with Lycian batteries.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
But it's not.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Clear that happened, and even if that's what sparked the explosions,
it's not clear how whoever carried out the attack was
able to trigger it across at the same time, across
a relatively large, expansive territory.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
To that end, understand that some of the explosions may
have taken place in Damascus, Syria. What's the relevance or
importance of hes BELA members in Damascus having these pages also.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Well, really there's a lot of overlap between hes BLA.
They are of course known to be tied to Lebanon.
They are basically the governing authority in much of the country,
but there are a lot of similar Iranian backed militias
in Syria as well, and they have you know, some overlap,
they do business together basically, so that would explain why
(10:34):
those fighters are there. And you know, really that's something
that US intelligence is working to figure out as well.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Was this an incident where all.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Of the pages distributed to hesbla we're able to get
someone was able to hack into them and perpetrate this
attack or is this was it targeted?
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Are these specialized units?
Speaker 5 (10:53):
That's something they'll be looking at.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
But it does appear that this was very widespread and
is it just the beginning? Is it not an isolated event?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
It does seem that whoever carried this out was planning
it for weeks, if not months. The US has made
very clear that it played no role in this incident
and did not have any prior warning about it. Now
Israel has been very tight lipped. Of course, hes LA
has blamed the Israeli government for carrying out this strike,
and we have seen incidents in the past where they
(11:23):
have done high profile assassinations and attacks but not taken
any any blame for it, not taking credit for.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
It, and just you know, continued on. So we'll see
if that powern.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Plays out again, and then at your point, I mean,
Israel has not claimed responsibility. This is well within I
know it's weird and it's a weird situation, but it
is assumed to be well within their scope of.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Technology.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
They're a very technologically advanced nation and has used technology
many times in order to defend itself before.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
That's absolutely right.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
They have a thriving technology industry. There's often innovations that
even outpace the US government and other high tech players here.
So it is definitely not beyond the realm of possibility
that Israel would be able to develop the technology and
really the coordination to carry out something like this.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
But that's US officials. They're still they're not clear on it.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
That's something that's going to be discussed through.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Diplomatic channels, through military channels.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Really already right now, we know those conversations are playing
out as they try to really get to the bottom
of this.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Awesome Shannon Kingston, ABC News State Department correspondent, thanks for
your time, thank you, And she points out that the
technology and the technical the industry that exists there in
Israel and how advanced it is. Remember it was an
Israeli company that helped the American law enforcement agencies break
(12:56):
into the phone of the terrorists that show brought up
the Christmas party out in San Bernardino. We're talking earlier
about this survey that suggested that about twenty percent of
parents are concerned that their kids don't have any friends.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, I agree the friend situation can
be tough with kids, but I think as parents we
can help them navigate this by helping them be involved
in different things, whether it's clubs at school or sports
or theater, something where they're interacting with other people in person,
and also remind them that they can't just wait around
(13:32):
for somebody to reach out to them. They need to
be proactive and reaching out and being a friend to
other people to help them find friends.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yes, and like every other thing that you're trying to
teach your kids, you have to exemplify it. You have
to show them how to do it, how to make friends,
keep friends, foster those friendships. And that's not always the
easiest thing to do because they also those little buggers.
They have hearing they do and they the much more
(14:00):
savvy when it comes to relationship discussions than you think.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Well, they're little sponges, so they if you're manipulating your
friendships or what have you, it's kind of easy for
them to pick up on that.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah, that's not good.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Just a quick reminder, by the way, we are doing
a News and Bruce next week. You're damn right we are.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
We will be at BJS on Beach Boulevard in Huntington
Beach next Thursday, nine to one.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
You're having a lot of time to get ready for
this one.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You're having a lot of time to start planning how
you're going to skip out on work for another Thursday.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
We actually did, if I remember this correctly. We did
get a talkback last week that said someone was planning
on coming to the event that we did in Cerritos,
but they were actually hit with the sports and decided that,
in fact, that was probably not the best place to go.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, we are like a public swimming pool. If you
have active diarrhea, don't come to the show.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
We don't want you.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
We don't want it.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
It's for you, it's for you.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I don't want you to have to run to the
bathroom and there's other people in there and then it's
embarrassing and your flesh and the toilet and it's a
hole to do.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
The other thing is you can't hear the show when
you're in the bathroom usually.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Right, which is a benefit I guess to diarrhea. This
is enough time, This is enough fore warning that you
can even lie about, like a dentist appointment. Oh yeah,
you know, a root canal. You got to have three
fillings done at the same time.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Pouch some of you. You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Really, you're just saying as an excuse, right, Yeah, that's
Dental work is always unavoidable.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You know, you got to get those teeth that worked on.
If you neglect your teeth, it leads to other health problems.
You should tell your boss.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That thanks yuckmouth.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I'm not a yuck mouth.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh you're not.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
But the yuckmouth guy from the Saturday Morning cartoons would
always tell us that same thing.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Oh really, yeah, I never watched those cartoons.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Time for True Crime Tuesday. The story is true, that's true. No,
it sounds made up. I don't know. Perry and Shannon
present True Crime.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
See.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
The problem with that beautiful open of the segment is
that it sounds like it's gonna be fun or funny,
and it's usually about dead people.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, that's so, that's a good point. But it's true.
It's true crime. Well we I mean, we we all
gonna die sometime.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
One of America's most notorious missing child cold cases may
be closer to being solved. Cops now believe that nine
year old ash A Degree was killed by a suspect
whose identity they have found out.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah, this was from Valentine's Day, very early in the
morning on Valentine's Day in the year two thousand. Asha
had vanished from her home there in North Carolina, Shelby,
North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
This was a well behaved, well adjusted little girl, good family.
And it was odd because she really told no one.
She packed her book bag and she sneaked out of
the house.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And they don't know why. It was rainy that night,
and she was seen by a couple of people. It
would be odd to see a nine year old walking
on the street or super early in the morning overnight.
Early in the morning, they did see her walking, but
apparently she vanished into a wooded area as those people
(17:30):
who saw her stop to try to help her.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
The Sheriff's office believe that she believes that she was murdered,
that her body was hidden.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
They have yet to locate the remains at this point,
but last week cops executed search warrants at multiple properties,
including an address in Shelby and assisted living facility in
nearby Vail, and a home in Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, and the connection for these three locations is the
Deadman family. That's spelled differently than it sounds, but it's uh,
but it's yes'y relevant the Deadman family. The warrants requested
after DNA samples actually linked Asha with a woman named
Anna Lee Deadman Rameraz, who was obviously an adult and
(18:16):
has married, but she was thirteen at the time that
Asha disappeared.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
The DNA also was connected to a man called Russell Underhill.
These samples were found on.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Her backpack, the little girl's backpack.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
That was found wrapped in two sealed black plastic bags
a year after she vanished.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Think about that. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Again, this is a very rural area. So the idea
that you'd be able to find that you that you'd
find plastic bags and then look inside of them unless
they were found by law enforce. And I don't know
exactly where who found these, but the again, the DNA
was found on the backpack that the little girl had,
(18:59):
So according to documents, a hair sample that was taken
from a shirt in the bag appeared to match Annalie
Deadmond Ramirez's DNA A thirteen year old. She would have
been thirteen at the time, and at the time of
ashes passing, there were a couple of other sisters. Annelie
had a couple of older sisters who were fifteen and sixteen.
(19:20):
So there's multiple people around this Deadman family, and they
now say that they believe something happened. There's some connection
with that family and the actual homicide of Ash a degree.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
They haven't gone into detail about who they believe was responsible,
but they believe in an adult was involved, that an adult
must have been involved in the crime as well, because
it's not just the crime, but it's the hiding of
the crime, it's the cover up, it's the moving of
the body, things like that.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, so you think of the parents, right, Well, the parents,
Roy and Connie Deadman to cops would have been necessary,
one or both of them would have been necessary in
the concealment of this crime. Now, the dad's home, located
just a few miles away from where ashe was last seen,
was one of those properties that was searched by law enforcement,
(20:15):
and they took a bunch of stuff, including and this
is a weird thing, including a car that slightly resembled
one that was in connection with Ash's disappearance that someone
said they saw her get into a car.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, they believe that she entered this seventies era green
vehicle on that night, and that was similar to the
one that was being towed last week, which is eerie
or odd, I should say, because if at the time
they had somebody that saw her getting into this green vehicle,
a seventies era green vehicle, then you would be searching
the neighbors. And this guy just lived a few miles away.
(20:54):
And like you said, it's rural. It's not home home, home,
home home. It's home a little bit of space home,
you know what I mean. So why wouldn't this property,
this garage had been searched they see the green vehicle
at the time, I don't know, well, and.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
It's it does say that the original the original description
from the FBI was that they were looking for a
green Ford Thunderbird or Lincoln Mark four. And the actual
car that they towed last week happened to be an
AMC Rambler. I didn't know enough. I looked them up.
The Thunderbird and the Mark four had those gigantic, square,
(21:33):
very angular front ends. I mean, it looked like someone
slapped a slab of metal on the front of those things.
It was a big, boxy car. The Rambler was a
much smaller, had more curves in it. Dare I say sexy.
No it was, but it was a very different look
to the front end of the car.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Maybe different.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I don't know where they saw it from, but they
also said they took a variety of computers and laptops
and cell phones that were recovered.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
We are in the midst of true Crime Tuesday talking
about the disappearance from Valentine's Day two thousand of nine
year old Asha Degree in North Carolina and some recent
DNA hits. One hit was on maybe a neighborhood type
friend of hers who was thirteen at the time. Again,
Asha was nine, and authorities believe that she had some
(22:25):
other sisters fifteen and sixteen at the time. But it
could not have been a crime committed and covered up
by just juvenile females. They believe an adult had to
have some sort of influence on this especially about moving
a body, hiding a body, all of that. A second
DNA match was a hit on a guy by the
name of Russell Underhill.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, this Russell underhere apparently lived in at least two
of the facilities that was owned by this neighborhood friend's parents,
Roy and Connie. Deadman.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Now he's dead. He died in two and four.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
That's perhaps the unfortunate portion of this, because if he
did have something to do with it, it'd be nice
to be able to tie this up into a boat.
They said that the connection between this Russell Underhill guy
and the family does remain unclear, but said that he
knew and associated with the dad. The thirteen year old
(23:21):
at the time thirteen year old obviously he's now grown adult.
Her home in Charlotte was raided by officials last week
and they took a BlackBerry again who he is using
technology from the late nineties time.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I was super jealous because I loved the BlackBerry. I
was upset when I had to let it go.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Investigators have since discovered that the dad was using his daughters,
in this case teenagers, to transport patients in an unreliable
vehicle to and from a hospital.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
In near my Morganton.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Is that some sort of racket where it's like free
rides to and from the hospital.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Well, if they owned what do we call it, If
they owned an assisted living facility and they're making money
off of the new patients that are being brought in,
it just cuts down on costs. You don't have to
pay for an ambulance to transport them, or have a
nurse on call or something in the transport when your
seventeen year old daughter will do.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
It for free. I see.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
But they said that investigators have discovered that he was
using his daughters to transport those patients, and that at
the time of Asha's disappearance, when she was nine years old,
it would have been right along Highway eighteen there in
North Carolina, that it would be the most logical route
to travel, and that it's likely that that was the
route that she was on when she disappeared that very
(24:45):
early Valentine's Day in the year two thousand.
