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):
In the meantime, what else is going on?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Time four? What's happening?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
What's happening? Brought to you my Trajan Wealth. Trajan Wealth
will help you set and achieve your financial goals for
retirement your local trusted financial fiduciary Trajanwealth dot com. Well
you haven't noticed it. It's hot out there. I guess
it's going to be. Tomorrow and Thursday will be the
hottest days of the week, well above average temperatures. Mark Chrisky,
(00:37):
who looks great, doesn't he? On KTLA. My god, the
man never ages. He's been through some serious health episodes,
but he looks great. I don't know who gives him
touch up work, but that person should win some sort
of touch up award.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Maybe it's all natural.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't know, but he says really hot temperatures Tomorrow
and Thursday temperatures five to ten degrees above normal, so
between ninety five one hundred and four degrees and parts
of Riverside, San Bernardino Counties, Fontana, Corona, Reino Valley, Sam Bernardino, Riverside.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know, you know where you are. You know it's
going to be damn hot.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
TSA is going to let us keep our shoes on.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
This was one of the ones that didn't make much
sense to me.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
You have one shoe bomber twenty five years ago, something
like that was at two thousand and one, I think
twenty four years ago, and we all have to take
off our shoes for more than two decades. Because of
one crazy pants, travelers at some airports, including LaGuardia may
no longer need to do that. For the first time
in nearly twenty years, TSA will let people keep their
(01:42):
shoes on. Apparently, in recent days, the TSA began dropping
its requirement for travelers to remove shoes. They have not
officially announced the change, have not confirmed the new policy,
but it looks like this is happening. It was first
reported by gate Access, which is a travel newsletter, and
it's been a soft launch they say of this new policy,
(02:04):
and there has been an internal memo.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Briefing officers about it.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
The thing I hate most about the shoes is that
I've got some shoes, usually boots, that will make it
through the screening at some airports, and at some airports won't.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I have TSA pre well worth it. I think it's one.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Hundred bucks a year, and you get in the shorter line.
You get to keep your shoes on unless they're these boots.
And the boots will go through at some airports and
some they won't. And there is no greater ho way management.
Look slash school teacher, a look that you get from
(02:44):
a TSA agent when she tells you you're going to
have to remove those boots, and I go, you know what,
They're actually fine through security because you think they're fine,
and you go through and that thing pings, and then
you see her face light up, like I told you
so I knew those boots, and I just want to
tell her, you know, they worked in Denver, they went
(03:04):
through in Miami, they were fine in Nashville. But she's
not there to hear how I went and did the
math on that. She just likes to know that she's
right as she should. You've heard it all morning long.
It's been reported Cole's is closing its doors. Famous La Deli.
It's been around for five hundred years, damn near one
(03:25):
hundred and seventeen years. An establishment in la claims to
be the birthplace of the French dip sandwich. So with
it dies the feud that exists between Coal's and Philip's.
So well, that's a silver lining right there. Fireworks, they say, Now,
cause that fire in Laguna Beach, you knew that was
(03:47):
going to be put out right quick. It only grew
to about four acres, made great quick work of that.
Forward progress halted swiftly, evacuation orders lifted over the evening.
They believe it was a fireworks mortar or they spotted
it on the ground, according to Laguna Police, and they
said that fireworks obviously illegal in Laguna Beach, but that
(04:08):
was a suspected cause.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
And now, Shannon, there's breaking news that a thirteen year
old boy has been arrested for a legend.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Come yeah, starting that fire.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, you know that's a good lesson.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
But do we need to arrest a child for starting
a Let me guess he's thirteen thirteen? Come on, I
think we should let the kid go. That's what we're
going to devote tomorrow's show to bringing the thirteen year
old who likes fireworks on the fourth of July. And
then finally, We've got a list of top ten. Listen,
(04:40):
John and Ken have their things right, Yeah, heads on
a stack?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
What have you? We can have our thing.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
We can free a thirteen year old boy list of ooh.
Top ten list of least healthy fast food chains have
been released.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Things I'm not going to talk about.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Least healthy fast foods is at the top of my list. Listen,
if you like these fast food places, I'm looking at
the list now and I'm telling you you do.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I'm not going to be the spoil sport. I'm not
going to.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Tell you that your favorite fast food restaurant and it's
on here, believe me, is on here.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Hell no, that's so nice of you. I'm not going
to ruin your day.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm not going to ruin your lunchtime and tell you
what's unhealthy when it's your favorite thing or my favorite thing.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
But maybe you'll change some mind and a little healthier.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
This is what I do. I rip this up.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You go have your double bacon cheeseburgers or in Debra's case,
wah quen wha can you put cheese on?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Noak cheese now? Vegan keenwa? Yeah? Just keep it?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, all right, have your queen whah plane.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I don't do any fake cheese meat, yeah, mayo, butter milk.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
I mean, well, I shouldn't say that I do drink
o oat milk.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
That's like me, I quit drink.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And I don't like the the mocktails. I'm like, what's
the point of feeling like I'm drinking a cocktail? And
then some people are like, well, they can make them
so they taste like poison, so they can taste really
bad and bitter, and it'll make you think. You're like, well,
the whole point is just not engaging in that. Why
if I'm a vegan, why do I want to eat
something that tastes like a cow exactly?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Like it makes sense, It makes no sense.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
No, But certain people, for whatever reason, because they don't
want to eat anything that's an animal product. So it's
it doesn't really mean that they don't I guess.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
But isn't part of it hating the taste because you
know where it came from.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
That's for me, but apparently other people don't feel that way.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I just it's yeah, all right, but everyone else, enjoy
your fast food.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I have penguins to tell you about, of course I do.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You weren't gonna live the rest of your Tuesday without
hearing about new penguins at an aquarium.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
No, of course not. Not on watch.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
What does it smell like in Philadelphia right now? Before
you answer that, there is another level of distress when
it comes to the smell of Philadelphia. There is a
strike that is entering. It's eighth a day and the
trash is mounting up.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
A lot of.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Workers, trash workers striking eight days in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's hot here. I assume it's hot and muggy in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Some people are hiring pop up haulers to clear their
blocks of the trash. Many support. It's a union town.
Many support the unions push for higher pay, but it
is not a good situation. There are some former sanitation
workers that are now making crazy amounts of money being
(07:59):
scabs essentially for private haulers. Because people want to support
the union, they want to support the trash workers, but
they also don't want their their blocked to smell right,
so they're hiring these guys to come out and clear it.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But they're in support of the cause.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
My goodness, Okay, we have some new penguins to tell
you about in California, Inca and Milo.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Did you know there was a match making service for
animals zoo animals?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Me, neither. This is right up our alley, isn't it?
Two Melaningelic penguins. Is that like Magellan? Are these penguins
good at finding things? I don't know? Two Melangelic penguins
have joined the colony at the Aquarium of the Pacific.
This is in Long Beach, so they're local. Inca is eleven.
(08:50):
Milo is five. Bit of an age difference there, but
that's okay. They are medium sized penguins native to the
southern coasts of Argentina and Chile, and they were brought
there last month. They were in a quarantine period and
now they've joined the aquarium's collection. They've begun exploring the
(09:10):
amenities of their new home. They say the transition was smooth.
The two were seen today during a public unveiling, puffing
their chests, standing on tiptoes, clicking their beaks. On occasion,
the males would let out that donkey like call. The
males use this donkey call to attract the females. Yes,
(09:34):
it's a penguin that sounds like a donkey. Something else
fun about this breed of penguin. They can fly underwater
as fast as fifteen miles per hour, but instead of wings,
they have the powerful flippers with the broad, flat fused
bones that also enable them to dive for their prey.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What do they eat?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Anchovies, sardines, the things that you don't want to eat
except in your salad and your pizza. The penguins arrived
as part of the Species Survival program. This matches species
based on their genetics, as opposed to the new dating
app that matches you with someone based on.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Your browser history. I'll tell you what I don't want.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I don't want to date a person who searches for
the things I search for on my computer. That person
belongs in some sort of center with bars. That's where
that person belongs. And it's only because of work. You
know what I search for. I search for things all
the time during the show, and it's not good.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
It's not good.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
And if somebody is searching for those things, you agree
they belong in some sort of center. But the Species
Survival matchmaking program swaps penguins between more than two hundred
existing exhibits credited exhibits, not just us Dave with his
underground aquarium at his mom's house. They decide annual where
(11:00):
to send penguins based on what genetics would pair best
together ahead of the breeding season that starts in September. Interesting,
they're kind of playing a little bit fast and loose
with biology, don't you think, looking into genetics and making
matches based on just genetics.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
The population of this type of.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Penguin has declined as a result of climate change, overfishing,
and habitat loss. Shortly after the Long Beach exhibit opened,
it took in four penguins found starving and stranded on
warm beaches in Brazil. But they had the genetics that
made them very valuable to the population, and they were
nursed back to health and everything is sympatico. Now Milo
(11:44):
and Inca have been welcomed to the Long Beach Aquarium
of the Pacific, so they have it a nice story
about penguins banging around and breeding because they're genetically matched.
Coming up next, Murderers True Crime Tuesday. Did you know
that half nearly half of America's murderers get away with it?
(12:05):
We'll show you the math on that when we return.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It is Tuesday at this time. You know what that means.
We bring you stories from the world of true crime.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
The story is true, that's true. No, it sounds made up.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Gary and Shannon present true crime.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
So here's a headline that captured our attention. Nearly half
of America's murderers get away with it. When you think
about high profile murders, you think of dateline, you think
of the familial murder's husband wife stuff. You think of
(12:56):
the headlines of Lacy Peterson and like that, And of
course there's always one suspect that's zeroed in on. And
what do you mean half of America's murderers get away
with it?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Because we hear about.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
One percent of the murders. I don't know how many
of them reach our our minds, our television screens, our newspapers.
But many, many murders do not reach that level. Someone
had murdered Raymeel Atkins in Louisville in twenty twenty three,
and more than a year later, his mom and sister
(13:33):
don't know who did it. Police have not made an
arrest in the case Raymel's not the only one. Same
for Tiffany Floyd killed in twenty twenty one, Michael David
killed in twenty seventeen, Corey Crow killed in twenty fourteen.
Not just.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
No ending, no solution, no verdict, no arrest.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Don't even have a suspect in these cases, and these
are just a couple of names. In fact, police in
Louisville do not arrest anyone in roughly half of murder cases.
Family members of these victims have a similar sentiment that
the police had abandoned them. The police don't really care.
(14:13):
They've proven it to me, the victim's family say. Now,
Louville's police department acknowledges serious problems. They are understaffed, like
many major police departments, about three hundred officers below full staffing. Now,
you don't get to say that murders aren't solved. Nobody
(14:34):
cares about us. The police don't care about us. In
one hand, and in the other hand, say let's get
rid of the police department, because that has been the
mood in this country now for ten years, at least
five years, the defund of the police movement. Things like that,
(14:54):
get rid of the police are out to get you.
But what about when you need the police to go
get whoever killed your loved ones, Then it's nice to
have them around, right. Well, that very sentiment of defund
the police has done just that. It's defunded a lot
of police departments. It's a struggle here in Los Angeles
(15:15):
to get the LAPD back up to where it needs
to be. It's not just budgetary concerns, it's recruitment. Who
wants to be a police officer anymore? Who wants to
be a police officer in twenty twenty five Put on
that uniform and that badge and go put your life
on the line every day for an ungrateful public who
(15:36):
wants that job. It used to come with honor and respect,
and now you get zero of those things. For a
lot of the population, you don't look at police and
see help.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
They look at police and see the enemy.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
And one of the side effects of that is going
to be a very low conviction rate. The Louisville departments
trying to address us those issues. They've told victims' families,
we understand you're grieving. Oh, it's frustrating for us too,
they say. In the United States, most people get away
(16:11):
with murder. Louisville's just a microcosm of that. The clearance
rate was fifty eight percent in twenty twenty three. What
does that mean? The clearance rate that's the share of
cases that result in an arrest or that are solved,
just fifty eight percent. All that figure's inflated too, because
they're also counting murders from previous years that the police
(16:35):
solved in twenty twenty three, so you're looking maybe at
forty percent. In other words, a murderer's chance of getting
caught within a year essentially comes down to a coin flip.
For other crimes that don't rise to the level of murder,
clearance rates are even lower. You steal a car, You're pretty,
(16:56):
You're good, You're good. I'm sorry, but that's what the
data says. Only eight percent of car thef's results in
an arrest. That's that's pretty good odds. I hope I
see a Lamborghini on the way home. I understand I
never understand why people jack cars and lead police on
a chase that aren't Lamborghinis. Now, if I'm going to
(17:20):
lead the cops on a chase, I'm going to do
it with it like a dodge charge or something with
a little something with a little go maybe a Honda Civic.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
You know, if we're if we're not going to get
the Lamborghini.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
America compared with its peers, does an unusually poor job
of solving killings. When you look at murder clearance rates
of other countries Australia, Britain, Germany, those hover in the seventies, eighties,
and nineties.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
They say there are several issues.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Lack of resources, the sheer volume of cases, a distrust
of the police. This is from a criminal justice researcher
not named me. This is Philip Cook, who says it's
a serious problem. And I've got to believe my hypothesis
more than just the volume of cases. If you hate
the police, you're not going to talk to them either.
(18:11):
And a lot of clearing cases, solving cases relies on witnesses.
I'm not just talking about people who saw a crime,
but people who know the guy who did it, or
know that the guy who did it recently came in
the way of a firearm, things like that.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Right, we're just at this.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
If you're okay with defunding the police, you've got to
also be okay with unchecked violence.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
So they say that there's some sort of solution in
this article guns they blame it on guns. Well, we've
had guns for a very long time. Volume distrust of
the police. Yes, they said that the solutions are this. First,
lawmakers and the police could commit more resources to solving murders. Okay, again,
(19:00):
nobody's signing up to be a police officer because of
the anti police sentiment right now in this country. They say, Second,
the police could make greater use of modern technology cameras,
facial recognition software.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, well, I'd like.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
To introduce you to people over here called the ACLU,
which will keep that kind of technology wrapped up in
the courts for a long time. They talk about more
police departments embracing flock cameras, they automatically read those license plates,
detect gunfire, things like that. Again, those are not going
to be in line with what civil libertarians will go.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
To bat for.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So we're just at this place right now. We're screwed.
So if you want to steal a car, I guess
to take away is you know you might do better
in that field. We've got a true crime story for
you coming up next to it is a cold case.
It's been cold for thirty years and the anniversary of
(20:01):
this local TV news anchor disappearing. Every year around the
anniversary of when she disappeared, there's heightened interest. No body
has ever been found, and a devoted team of volunteers
continues thirty years after the fact to look for Jody
Weiss and Trout.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
We'll talk about her story when we come back.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Where is Jody Huissen Trut. I'm not sure if I'm
saying that last name correctly, but Jody Hoist and True
Twisen Truth was a local morning television anchor in Mason City, Iowa,
meant arriving for work at three AM. If you've worked
the morning shift in broadcasting, you've done this before as well.
(20:50):
And she had never missed a show, not once. But
if you've ever done a morning broadcast schedule, you know
that time always comes. You oversleep at least once. When
your alarm goes off at two AM to get to work,
it's going to happen. It's going to happen at least once,
even for the most dedicated the strongest work ethic.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
It happens at least once.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Well, it was June twenty seventh, nineteen ninety five, and
she finally overslept. She called the news producer at the
station and she said, I'll be right in. She realized
she lived about a mile from work. She was from Minnesota.
Jody was youngest of three daughters, very much into sports,
(21:32):
loved golf, and she briefly worked as a Northwest Airlines
flight attendant. A friend remembers that she liked to say
she wanted to be on the air, not in the air,
and that morning, when she still didn't show up at
the station, everyone thought what everyone else thinks, Oh she overslept.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
It happens. She was never found.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Twenty seven year old Jody Hoisen Trut was never found,
but they did find disturbing signs of her absence. When
police got to the scene of her apartment, there was
no sign of Jody, but her car was there and
there were definite signs of a struggle a bent car key.
They said that it indicated she was probably attacked from behind.
A lot of force used. Her stuff was a strone
(22:16):
across the garage and the floor, red heels blow dryer, earrings,
drag marks in the parking lot. Anyway, Her building had
no security cameras, it was not lit very well. Police
found no blood, no witnesses, never been seen nobody. Thirty
years later, there is a devoted team of volunteers still
(22:38):
trying to solve this mystery. Mason City, by the way,
on its fourth police chief since Jody's disappearance. That tips
continually come in about Jody, usually around this time of
year because it's the anniversary. Late June is when they
hear more about it. Now, about nine months before she
went missing, she did file a police report report regarding
(23:01):
a suspicious subject who was following her driving or driving
behind her in a small white Newer pickup. She had
taken a self defense class. The day before she disappeared.
She played in a charity golf tournament, and she told
some people that she was playing with that she considered
changing her phone number because she was getting harassing phone calls.
This is kind of troubling, but also she's in the
(23:22):
public eye and it's not completely out of the realm.
There was a guy that they focused in on, John
Van Seiss was his name. They ran in the same circle.
He was twenty years older. She had been at his
place the night before she disappeared. He was never named
a suspect, never charged. He had always claimed he was
(23:44):
friends with her and denied any involvement in her abduction.
Back in twenty seventeen, as technology had come a long
way since ninety five, they did put a GPS mobile
tracking device on his vehicles. He provided DNA fingerprints palm
prints to comply with a court order, but nothing, and
then he died.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
He died last year.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
They do have one piece of evidence, a palm print,
and they do have her belongings collected at the scene.
Whose palm print is it, they don't know. They did
get a tip last October and they worked with police
in her home state of Minnesota to search a farm
construction area. They'd only found animal bones. They had gotten
(24:30):
a tip that there was a guy by the name
of Christopher Revick who had been linked to two other
cases with female victims, and there were some sort of
connections between the two. But again that led nowhere, and
then he died. He died in jail, but again nothing,
nothing else. There's a colleague that worked with her at
(24:53):
the TV station in this small town Mason City, Iowa.
And he said he can feel the anxiety shock of
it as if it were yesterday.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Remember, she did the news, so this station was covering
her disappearance in real time. Wasn't just a local girl
has disappeared. It's a local girl who worked here, who
was on your television screen, in your living room, in
your bedroom.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Every night. They had to cover the news of her disappearances.
It was unfolding.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
This guy, Brian still has a two page script he
wrote for that night's broadcast. He said nothing would it
have prepared him or that team for having to report
on the disappearance of a beloved colleague. He says he's
surprised that nobody has slipped up over the years to
reveal any secrets that would lead to any answers. He said,
it was crazy trying to be a news reporter, just
(25:42):
starting out and investigating that story, and you know the
person missing. The FBI's in town, the Iowa Division of
Criminal Investigation.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Or in town. They're all in the newsroom.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
They're doing the same investigation that you're doing about your friend,
interviewing them while they're trying to write that night's show
about the disappearance. I mean, it's all just so very surreal,
just like the fact that nobody has turned up. Now.
Nineteen ninety five, if not necessarily the time when you
(26:14):
were having any sort of great results with technology, with
DNA and things like that. But it's not like it
was nineteen fifty five. It's wild that there's been no
body and no one has talked, and they worry that
everyone that knows something could could die. But again, nineteen
ninety five not that far away. Jody hoisten Strout oisn strowed,
(26:36):
I'm gonna learn her name overnight, all right, John Cobalt
Show coming up next.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
We will see you. I'll see you Thursday.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Actually, I'm out tomorrow. I've got a doctor's appointment. I
couldn't move it. You know how hard it is to
get those. Moe Kelly will be filling in for us,
so that will be a treat, and I will see
you Thursday. All right, stay dry out there, everybody? Is
that what he says? Blessings.

on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
In the meantime, what else is going on?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Time four? What's happening?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
What's happening? Brought to you my Trajan Wealth. Trajan Wealth
will help you set and achieve your financial goals for
retirement your local trusted financial fiduciary Trajanwealth dot com. Well
you haven't noticed it. It's hot out there. I guess
it's going to be. Tomorrow and Thursday will be the
hottest days of the week, well above average temperatures. Mark Chrisky,
(00:37):
who looks great, doesn't he? On KTLA. My god, the
man never ages. He's been through some serious health episodes,
but he looks great. I don't know who gives him
touch up work, but that person should win some sort
of touch up award.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Maybe it's all natural.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't know, but he says really hot temperatures Tomorrow
and Thursday temperatures five to ten degrees above normal, so
between ninety five one hundred and four degrees and parts
of Riverside, San Bernardino Counties, Fontana, Corona, Reino Valley, Sam Bernardino, Riverside.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know, you know where you are. You know it's
going to be damn hot.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
TSA is going to let us keep our shoes on.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
This was one of the ones that didn't make much
sense to me.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
You have one shoe bomber twenty five years ago, something
like that was at two thousand and one, I think
twenty four years ago, and we all have to take
off our shoes for more than two decades. Because of
one crazy pants, travelers at some airports, including LaGuardia may
no longer need to do that. For the first time
in nearly twenty years, TSA will let people keep their
(01:42):
shoes on. Apparently, in recent days, the TSA began dropping
its requirement for travelers to remove shoes. They have not
officially announced the change, have not confirmed the new policy,
but it looks like this is happening. It was first
reported by gate Access, which is a travel newsletter, and
it's been a soft launch they say of this new policy,
(02:04):
and there has been an internal memo.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Briefing officers about it.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
The thing I hate most about the shoes is that
I've got some shoes, usually boots, that will make it
through the screening at some airports, and at some airports won't.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I have TSA pre well worth it. I think it's one.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Hundred bucks a year, and you get in the shorter line.
You get to keep your shoes on unless they're these boots.
And the boots will go through at some airports and
some they won't. And there is no greater ho way management.
Look slash school teacher, a look that you get from
(02:44):
a TSA agent when she tells you you're going to
have to remove those boots, and I go, you know what,
They're actually fine through security because you think they're fine,
and you go through and that thing pings, and then
you see her face light up, like I told you
so I knew those boots, and I just want to
tell her, you know, they worked in Denver, they went
(03:04):
through in Miami, they were fine in Nashville. But she's
not there to hear how I went and did the
math on that. She just likes to know that she's
right as she should. You've heard it all morning long.
It's been reported Cole's is closing its doors. Famous La Deli.
It's been around for five hundred years, damn near one
(03:25):
hundred and seventeen years. An establishment in la claims to
be the birthplace of the French dip sandwich. So with
it dies the feud that exists between Coal's and Philip's.
So well, that's a silver lining right there. Fireworks, they say, Now,
cause that fire in Laguna Beach, you knew that was
(03:47):
going to be put out right quick. It only grew
to about four acres, made great quick work of that.
Forward progress halted swiftly, evacuation orders lifted over the evening.
They believe it was a fireworks mortar or they spotted
it on the ground, according to Laguna Police, and they
said that fireworks obviously illegal in Laguna Beach, but that
(04:08):
was a suspected cause.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
And now, Shannon, there's breaking news that a thirteen year
old boy has been arrested for a legend.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Come yeah, starting that fire.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, you know that's a good lesson.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
But do we need to arrest a child for starting
a Let me guess he's thirteen thirteen? Come on, I
think we should let the kid go. That's what we're
going to devote tomorrow's show to bringing the thirteen year
old who likes fireworks on the fourth of July. And
then finally, We've got a list of top ten. Listen,
(04:40):
John and Ken have their things right, Yeah, heads on
a stack?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
What have you? We can have our thing.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
We can free a thirteen year old boy list of ooh.
Top ten list of least healthy fast food chains have
been released.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Things I'm not going to talk about.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Least healthy fast foods is at the top of my list. Listen,
if you like these fast food places, I'm looking at
the list now and I'm telling you you do.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I'm not going to be the spoil sport. I'm not
going to.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Tell you that your favorite fast food restaurant and it's
on here, believe me, is on here.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Hell no, that's so nice of you. I'm not going
to ruin your day.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm not going to ruin your lunchtime and tell you
what's unhealthy when it's your favorite thing or my favorite thing.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
But maybe you'll change some mind and a little healthier.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
This is what I do. I rip this up.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You go have your double bacon cheeseburgers or in Debra's case,
wah quen wha can you put cheese on?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Noak cheese now? Vegan keenwa? Yeah? Just keep it?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, all right, have your queen whah plane.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I don't do any fake cheese meat, yeah, mayo, butter milk.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
I mean, well, I shouldn't say that I do drink
o oat milk.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
That's like me, I quit drink.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And I don't like the the mocktails. I'm like, what's
the point of feeling like I'm drinking a cocktail? And
then some people are like, well, they can make them
so they taste like poison, so they can taste really
bad and bitter, and it'll make you think. You're like, well,
the whole point is just not engaging in that. Why
if I'm a vegan, why do I want to eat
something that tastes like a cow exactly?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Like it makes sense, It makes no sense.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
No, But certain people, for whatever reason, because they don't
want to eat anything that's an animal product. So it's
it doesn't really mean that they don't I guess.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
But isn't part of it hating the taste because you
know where it came from.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
That's for me, but apparently other people don't feel that way.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I just it's yeah, all right, but everyone else, enjoy
your fast food.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I have penguins to tell you about, of course I do.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You weren't gonna live the rest of your Tuesday without
hearing about new penguins at an aquarium.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
No, of course not. Not on watch.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
What does it smell like in Philadelphia right now? Before
you answer that, there is another level of distress when
it comes to the smell of Philadelphia. There is a
strike that is entering. It's eighth a day and the
trash is mounting up.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
A lot of.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Workers, trash workers striking eight days in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's hot here. I assume it's hot and muggy in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Some people are hiring pop up haulers to clear their
blocks of the trash. Many support. It's a union town.
Many support the unions push for higher pay, but it
is not a good situation. There are some former sanitation
workers that are now making crazy amounts of money being
(07:59):
scabs essentially for private haulers. Because people want to support
the union, they want to support the trash workers, but
they also don't want their their blocked to smell right,
so they're hiring these guys to come out and clear it.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But they're in support of the cause.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
My goodness, Okay, we have some new penguins to tell
you about in California, Inca and Milo.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Did you know there was a match making service for
animals zoo animals?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Me, neither. This is right up our alley, isn't it?
Two Melaningelic penguins. Is that like Magellan? Are these penguins
good at finding things? I don't know? Two Melangelic penguins
have joined the colony at the Aquarium of the Pacific.
This is in Long Beach, so they're local. Inca is eleven.
(08:50):
Milo is five. Bit of an age difference there, but
that's okay. They are medium sized penguins native to the
southern coasts of Argentina and Chile, and they were brought
there last month. They were in a quarantine period and
now they've joined the aquarium's collection. They've begun exploring the
(09:10):
amenities of their new home. They say the transition was smooth.
The two were seen today during a public unveiling, puffing
their chests, standing on tiptoes, clicking their beaks. On occasion,
the males would let out that donkey like call. The
males use this donkey call to attract the females. Yes,
(09:34):
it's a penguin that sounds like a donkey. Something else
fun about this breed of penguin. They can fly underwater
as fast as fifteen miles per hour, but instead of wings,
they have the powerful flippers with the broad, flat fused
bones that also enable them to dive for their prey.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What do they eat?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Anchovies, sardines, the things that you don't want to eat
except in your salad and your pizza. The penguins arrived
as part of the Species Survival program. This matches species
based on their genetics, as opposed to the new dating
app that matches you with someone based on.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Your browser history. I'll tell you what I don't want.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I don't want to date a person who searches for
the things I search for on my computer. That person
belongs in some sort of center with bars. That's where
that person belongs. And it's only because of work. You
know what I search for. I search for things all
the time during the show, and it's not good.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
It's not good.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
And if somebody is searching for those things, you agree
they belong in some sort of center. But the Species
Survival matchmaking program swaps penguins between more than two hundred
existing exhibits credited exhibits, not just us Dave with his
underground aquarium at his mom's house. They decide annual where
(11:00):
to send penguins based on what genetics would pair best
together ahead of the breeding season that starts in September. Interesting,
they're kind of playing a little bit fast and loose
with biology, don't you think, looking into genetics and making
matches based on just genetics.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
The population of this type of.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Penguin has declined as a result of climate change, overfishing,
and habitat loss. Shortly after the Long Beach exhibit opened,
it took in four penguins found starving and stranded on
warm beaches in Brazil. But they had the genetics that
made them very valuable to the population, and they were
nursed back to health and everything is sympatico. Now Milo
(11:44):
and Inca have been welcomed to the Long Beach Aquarium
of the Pacific, so they have it a nice story
about penguins banging around and breeding because they're genetically matched.
Coming up next, Murderers True Crime Tuesday. Did you know
that half nearly half of America's murderers get away with it?
(12:05):
We'll show you the math on that when we return.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It is Tuesday at this time. You know what that means.
We bring you stories from the world of true crime.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
The story is true, that's true. No, it sounds made up.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Gary and Shannon present true crime.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
So here's a headline that captured our attention. Nearly half
of America's murderers get away with it. When you think
about high profile murders, you think of dateline, you think
of the familial murder's husband wife stuff. You think of
(12:56):
the headlines of Lacy Peterson and like that, And of
course there's always one suspect that's zeroed in on. And
what do you mean half of America's murderers get away
with it?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Because we hear about.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
One percent of the murders. I don't know how many
of them reach our our minds, our television screens, our newspapers.
But many, many murders do not reach that level. Someone
had murdered Raymeel Atkins in Louisville in twenty twenty three,
and more than a year later, his mom and sister
(13:33):
don't know who did it. Police have not made an
arrest in the case Raymel's not the only one. Same
for Tiffany Floyd killed in twenty twenty one, Michael David
killed in twenty seventeen, Corey Crow killed in twenty fourteen.
Not just.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
No ending, no solution, no verdict, no arrest.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Don't even have a suspect in these cases, and these
are just a couple of names. In fact, police in
Louisville do not arrest anyone in roughly half of murder cases.
Family members of these victims have a similar sentiment that
the police had abandoned them. The police don't really care.
(14:13):
They've proven it to me, the victim's family say. Now,
Louville's police department acknowledges serious problems. They are understaffed, like
many major police departments, about three hundred officers below full staffing. Now,
you don't get to say that murders aren't solved. Nobody
(14:34):
cares about us. The police don't care about us. In
one hand, and in the other hand, say let's get
rid of the police department, because that has been the
mood in this country now for ten years, at least
five years, the defund of the police movement. Things like that,
(14:54):
get rid of the police are out to get you.
But what about when you need the police to go
get whoever killed your loved ones, Then it's nice to
have them around, right. Well, that very sentiment of defund
the police has done just that. It's defunded a lot
of police departments. It's a struggle here in Los Angeles
(15:15):
to get the LAPD back up to where it needs
to be. It's not just budgetary concerns, it's recruitment. Who
wants to be a police officer anymore? Who wants to
be a police officer in twenty twenty five Put on
that uniform and that badge and go put your life
on the line every day for an ungrateful public who
(15:36):
wants that job. It used to come with honor and respect,
and now you get zero of those things. For a
lot of the population, you don't look at police and
see help.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
They look at police and see the enemy.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
And one of the side effects of that is going
to be a very low conviction rate. The Louisville departments
trying to address us those issues. They've told victims' families,
we understand you're grieving. Oh, it's frustrating for us too,
they say. In the United States, most people get away
(16:11):
with murder. Louisville's just a microcosm of that. The clearance
rate was fifty eight percent in twenty twenty three. What
does that mean? The clearance rate that's the share of
cases that result in an arrest or that are solved,
just fifty eight percent. All that figure's inflated too, because
they're also counting murders from previous years that the police
(16:35):
solved in twenty twenty three, so you're looking maybe at
forty percent. In other words, a murderer's chance of getting
caught within a year essentially comes down to a coin flip.
For other crimes that don't rise to the level of murder,
clearance rates are even lower. You steal a car, You're pretty,
(16:56):
You're good, You're good. I'm sorry, but that's what the
data says. Only eight percent of car thef's results in
an arrest. That's that's pretty good odds. I hope I
see a Lamborghini on the way home. I understand I
never understand why people jack cars and lead police on
a chase that aren't Lamborghinis. Now, if I'm going to
(17:20):
lead the cops on a chase, I'm going to do
it with it like a dodge charge or something with
a little something with a little go maybe a Honda Civic.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
You know, if we're if we're not going to get
the Lamborghini.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
America compared with its peers, does an unusually poor job
of solving killings. When you look at murder clearance rates
of other countries Australia, Britain, Germany, those hover in the seventies, eighties,
and nineties.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
They say there are several issues.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Lack of resources, the sheer volume of cases, a distrust
of the police. This is from a criminal justice researcher
not named me. This is Philip Cook, who says it's
a serious problem. And I've got to believe my hypothesis
more than just the volume of cases. If you hate
the police, you're not going to talk to them either.
(18:11):
And a lot of clearing cases, solving cases relies on witnesses.
I'm not just talking about people who saw a crime,
but people who know the guy who did it, or
know that the guy who did it recently came in
the way of a firearm, things like that.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Right, we're just at this.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
If you're okay with defunding the police, you've got to
also be okay with unchecked violence.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
So they say that there's some sort of solution in
this article guns they blame it on guns. Well, we've
had guns for a very long time. Volume distrust of
the police. Yes, they said that the solutions are this. First,
lawmakers and the police could commit more resources to solving murders. Okay, again,
(19:00):
nobody's signing up to be a police officer because of
the anti police sentiment right now in this country. They say, Second,
the police could make greater use of modern technology cameras,
facial recognition software.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, well, I'd like.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
To introduce you to people over here called the ACLU,
which will keep that kind of technology wrapped up in
the courts for a long time. They talk about more
police departments embracing flock cameras, they automatically read those license plates,
detect gunfire, things like that. Again, those are not going
to be in line with what civil libertarians will go.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
To bat for.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So we're just at this place right now. We're screwed.
So if you want to steal a car, I guess
to take away is you know you might do better
in that field. We've got a true crime story for
you coming up next to it is a cold case.
It's been cold for thirty years and the anniversary of
(20:01):
this local TV news anchor disappearing. Every year around the
anniversary of when she disappeared, there's heightened interest. No body
has ever been found, and a devoted team of volunteers
continues thirty years after the fact to look for Jody
Weiss and Trout.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
We'll talk about her story when we come back.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Where is Jody Huissen Trut. I'm not sure if I'm
saying that last name correctly, but Jody Hoist and True
Twisen Truth was a local morning television anchor in Mason City, Iowa,
meant arriving for work at three AM. If you've worked
the morning shift in broadcasting, you've done this before as well.
(20:50):
And she had never missed a show, not once. But
if you've ever done a morning broadcast schedule, you know
that time always comes. You oversleep at least once. When
your alarm goes off at two AM to get to work,
it's going to happen. It's going to happen at least once,
even for the most dedicated the strongest work ethic.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
It happens at least once.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Well, it was June twenty seventh, nineteen ninety five, and
she finally overslept. She called the news producer at the
station and she said, I'll be right in. She realized
she lived about a mile from work. She was from Minnesota.
Jody was youngest of three daughters, very much into sports,
(21:32):
loved golf, and she briefly worked as a Northwest Airlines
flight attendant. A friend remembers that she liked to say
she wanted to be on the air, not in the air,
and that morning, when she still didn't show up at
the station, everyone thought what everyone else thinks, Oh she overslept.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
It happens. She was never found.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Twenty seven year old Jody Hoisen Trut was never found,
but they did find disturbing signs of her absence. When
police got to the scene of her apartment, there was
no sign of Jody, but her car was there and
there were definite signs of a struggle a bent car key.
They said that it indicated she was probably attacked from behind.
A lot of force used. Her stuff was a strone
(22:16):
across the garage and the floor, red heels blow dryer, earrings,
drag marks in the parking lot. Anyway, Her building had
no security cameras, it was not lit very well. Police
found no blood, no witnesses, never been seen nobody. Thirty
years later, there is a devoted team of volunteers still
(22:38):
trying to solve this mystery. Mason City, by the way,
on its fourth police chief since Jody's disappearance. That tips
continually come in about Jody, usually around this time of
year because it's the anniversary. Late June is when they
hear more about it. Now, about nine months before she
went missing, she did file a police report report regarding
(23:01):
a suspicious subject who was following her driving or driving
behind her in a small white Newer pickup. She had
taken a self defense class. The day before she disappeared.
She played in a charity golf tournament, and she told
some people that she was playing with that she considered
changing her phone number because she was getting harassing phone calls.
This is kind of troubling, but also she's in the
(23:22):
public eye and it's not completely out of the realm.
There was a guy that they focused in on, John
Van Seiss was his name. They ran in the same circle.
He was twenty years older. She had been at his
place the night before she disappeared. He was never named
a suspect, never charged. He had always claimed he was
(23:44):
friends with her and denied any involvement in her abduction.
Back in twenty seventeen, as technology had come a long
way since ninety five, they did put a GPS mobile
tracking device on his vehicles. He provided DNA fingerprints palm
prints to comply with a court order, but nothing, and
then he died.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
He died last year.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
They do have one piece of evidence, a palm print,
and they do have her belongings collected at the scene.
Whose palm print is it, they don't know. They did
get a tip last October and they worked with police
in her home state of Minnesota to search a farm
construction area. They'd only found animal bones. They had gotten
(24:30):
a tip that there was a guy by the name
of Christopher Revick who had been linked to two other
cases with female victims, and there were some sort of
connections between the two. But again that led nowhere, and
then he died. He died in jail, but again nothing,
nothing else. There's a colleague that worked with her at
(24:53):
the TV station in this small town Mason City, Iowa.
And he said he can feel the anxiety shock of
it as if it were yesterday.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Remember, she did the news, so this station was covering
her disappearance in real time. Wasn't just a local girl
has disappeared. It's a local girl who worked here, who
was on your television screen, in your living room, in
your bedroom.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Every night. They had to cover the news of her disappearances.
It was unfolding.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
This guy, Brian still has a two page script he
wrote for that night's broadcast. He said nothing would it
have prepared him or that team for having to report
on the disappearance of a beloved colleague. He says he's
surprised that nobody has slipped up over the years to
reveal any secrets that would lead to any answers. He said,
it was crazy trying to be a news reporter, just
(25:42):
starting out and investigating that story, and you know the
person missing. The FBI's in town, the Iowa Division of
Criminal Investigation.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Or in town. They're all in the newsroom.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
They're doing the same investigation that you're doing about your friend,
interviewing them while they're trying to write that night's show
about the disappearance. I mean, it's all just so very surreal,
just like the fact that nobody has turned up. Now.
Nineteen ninety five, if not necessarily the time when you
(26:14):
were having any sort of great results with technology, with
DNA and things like that. But it's not like it
was nineteen fifty five. It's wild that there's been no
body and no one has talked, and they worry that
everyone that knows something could could die. But again, nineteen
ninety five not that far away. Jody hoisten Strout oisn strowed,
(26:36):
I'm gonna learn her name overnight, all right, John Cobalt
Show coming up next.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
We will see you. I'll see you Thursday.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Actually, I'm out tomorrow. I've got a doctor's appointment. I
couldn't move it. You know how hard it is to
get those. Moe Kelly will be filling in for us,
so that will be a treat, and I will see
you Thursday. All right, stay dry out there, everybody? Is
that what he says? Blessings.
