[IQ Bar Advertiser]

It's time for effort of professionals.

[Cindy Overton]

I'm taking us to California.

[Woody Overton]

Which part?

[Cindy Overton]

Bass Lake. I don't know. It's known throughout the Central Valley, so.

[Woody Overton]

Okay.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay. So we have a guy named Bob. Boy. Yeah, boy.

[Woody Overton]

And Jen used to have a neighbor named Bob.

[Cindy Overton]

We did.

[Woody Overton]

He was pretty cool.

[Cindy Overton]

Bob was a very nice guy. And his wife was. Yeah, Katrina. Well, she lived up to her name.

[Woody Overton]

I was gonna say. I was gonna call her what she really was. And you said it. Now somebody gonna know who it is. So I won't say it.

[Cindy Overton]

But Bob was a 75 year old realtor in Bass Lake, California. And he spent over 40 years building a reputation as a kind, trustworthy professional.

[Woody Overton]

Go Bob.

[Cindy Overton]

And known throughout the Central Valley. Bob was the kind of man people counted on.

[Woody Overton]

I think it stands for Robert.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes, it's Robert.

[Woody Overton]

Bob.

[Cindy Overton]

Boy N G N B O Y A J I A N so but he, people counted on him in business and in friendship. One of these people was 21 year old Aldrich Medosian. And he was a tech savvy consultant who helped Bob with some of his home security system. They'd even gone off roading together. Bob trusted him enough to invite him to his home. On the night of July 12th of 2025. And sometime after midnight, the bond that they had developed was shattered. Investigators say that Aldrich murdered Bob inside his own home. He then wrapped the body in bedding, placed it in a body bag he had purchased on Amazon days earlier, and drove it to the Mojave Desert, which was several hours away there in a.

[Woody Overton]

Cave.

[Cindy Overton]

That Aldrich and Bob had actually visited this cave together. That cave is where Aldrich left Bob. When Bob didn't show up to work on Monday, he had an appointment that he didn't show up for. A concerned employee contacted authorities, so I guess for a welfare check. Deputies found his truck still in the driveway. And inside the home were his Apple watch and briefcase. But something felt off his bedding was missing and so were his wallet and his cell phone. And the security system was completely offline, the security system that Aldrich helped him build. And so the DVR that were that recorded camera footage was gone too. So that's when suspicion started to shift toward Aldrich. And at first he appeared helpful. He guided investigators through the house and pretending to assist with the search. But evidence started piling up very fast. ATM records showed Aldrich using Bob's debit card on Sunday night to withdraw $1,000. And when police searched his family's home in Clovis, they found two guns in his bedroom. One was registered to Bob and the other was reported stolen. They also found Bob's wallet stashed in Aldrich's gym locker, his cell phone discarded near a park, and a shovel used to dig the grave. When Aldrich was brought in for questioning, his story changed multiple times. First, he claimed that Bob had died by suicide. Then he said Bob asked for help ending his life. And eventually he confessed to the murder. And he told police he had grown angry over things Bob had said about his family and admitted that money played a role in his decision. Authorities Determined the murder to be premeditated. Obviously they had a body bag ordered on Amazon.

[Woody Overton]

Right?

[Cindy Overton]

I mean.

[Woody Overton]

The dumb criminal moving that.

[Cindy Overton]

Body to the desert burial site where they had actually gone together, you know.

[Woody Overton]

Don'T you think Amazon ought to question some purchases, Joe, Blow in the middle of nowhere, order the body?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, I would think that that should just send an alert to local authorities. And so they authorities determined that every step had been planned out. They charged Aldrich with first degree murder, grand theft, multiple gun related offenses, and he is currently being held without bail in Madera County. That was good police work though, right? Yep.

[Woody Overton]

It really was. Something, something, something. It's crazy. All right, it's time for family matters. This store is kind of little cray cray. We're going to Georgia and we're going to a camping ground in Georgia. Now if you're from Louisiana, you listen to this. You'll never have campgrounds like they have in Georgia and Tennessee and stuff like that because people are trashing, right? Or it's too hot or, or whatever. The. I've been these camping grounds we used to. I mean, you couldn't afford to do else and. And you take the weekend and you go and you stay in the beautiful mountains and the creeks and just walk around, drink a beer, do whatever. Go fishing. A lot of fishing. Well, they got a campground called the Low Gap Campground, which is in Helen, which is a tiny mountain town in the north east region of the good old Peach State, near Low Gap Creek, which is a tributary of the Chattahoochee River. I knew you were gonna do it. So well, you know, family's just there hanging out. I'm skip around a little bit because I don't want to give it away right ahead. The. So it was a dad and his family members and they were minding their own business. They were just chilling. You know what dad was doing?

[Cindy Overton]

Drinking?

[Woody Overton]

Nope.

[Cindy Overton]

Fishing.

[Woody Overton]

Well, he was eating peanut butter brittle and fixing his fishing pole. One of the daughters was eating boiled peanuts. I had bull peanuts last night and I've been on Facebook Marketplace because tis the season, but they're only getting the Virginia ones right now. You know, I got to have the Mississippi because that's the best. But the. And y', all, that's a big deal for me too. I'm gonna do some videos of that this year. So dad's eating this peanut brittle and fixing his fishing pole and there's a couple sisters and one of them was eating boiled peanuts. And the. The family's last name is Hollandsworth and She said and my dad what happened?

[Cindy Overton]

He lost it. He got mad.

[Woody Overton]

This family matters doesn't always mean the.

[Cindy Overton]

I didn't know what you had pressed.

[Woody Overton]

Oppressed family matters but it doesn't always mean that that the family are reporting on his bad still family matters. Okay.

[Cindy Overton]

What happened to that dad got shot.

[Woody Overton]

Nope. So she said and my dad was attacked with a beer bottle on the side of the head and it cut him from his ear to the back of his neck and he just passed out on the ground. Well that is kind of how the cops say it happened because I didn't read you the first part how they the other side said it happened but so let's get into it. So they said. Investigators were called to the scene. An investigation was launched into the incident according to sheriff's office. During the investigation it was learned that a group of four individuals all from Lula, Georgia assaulted the 58 year old father and 20 year old daughter from Waco, Georgia. Now during the assault the daughter stabbed her attacker in self defense.

[Cindy Overton]

Good for her.

[Woody Overton]

Good for her right. And the father was struck with a glass beer bottle causing a severe laceration and it is assaulted by lying on the ground. The parties involved were identified and then arrested. Now the daughter is already on the men the family says but the father is expected to remain in the hospital for a prolonged period of time due to a brain bleed caused by the injuries, it said. We have had several people ask how they can help. Hollingsworth wrote on online fundraiser. If you feel the need to donate, all funds will go to medical bills, hotel and food and we are unaware of his release date. Above all, please continue to pray for my dad. My dad would give the shirt off his back without having another to put on. So now and I'm going to go back to you about tech in a second but the family of victims is now using the opportunity to push for the campground and to try to ban alcohol under the presumption that alcohol might have been a factor in the group's attack. They said I don't understand why you would do this to a man that was with his daughter for a camping trip. The daughter also told the TV station she believes other people were likely involved in attack on her father and sister. So sheriff's office is still investigating but let me go back to the beginning. So a family camping trip ended in terror and violence over the weekend in Georgia and now four people were behind bars while the father and daughter victims try to recuperate. Crystal Wilson, 44 and these aren't high schoolers Crystal Wilson, 44, Josh Wilson, 42, Joshua Miller, 32 and Charles Miller, 39 are all accused of ag assault and battery and it's according to White County Sheriff's Office and This occurred on July 26th like I told you at the Low Camp Low Gap Creek Campground. Right, Low Gap Campground and the responding deputies learned that Crystal Wilson attacked Gracie Walden who's 20, which leading the younger woman to stab the older woman in self defense and then an ensuing group attack. Bruce Walden, 58, had his head smashed by a glass beer bottle and he fell to the ground and they continued to stomp him and beat him. Both victims were rushed to Northeast Georgia Medical Center. The daughter was originally listed under serious condition where our father was listed in critical condition in the intensive care unit.

Did you know your calendar age doesn't always match how old your body really is? I didn't until I took the True Age test from True Diagnostic and it opened my eyes. Biological age is one of the most accurate indicators of how fast you're aging on the inside the and that directly predicts your risk for serious health problems. Turns out if your biological age is just five years older than your actual age, your risk for things like heart disease or cancer can go up by 30 to 50%. That's a real number, and it made me pay attention. I learned that my heart, lungs and hormones are aging faster than they should be, even though I don't feel it every day. My biological heart age came back at 65.1, which is which is higher than I'd like. My brain and immune system were also aging faster than my calendar age. That was a surprise, but not all bad news. My liver and musculoskeletal system are actually aging slower, and that gives me some hope. They also showed me something called my Dune Endpace score, how fast my whole body is aging year by year. Mine came back at 1.1, which means for every year that passes, I'm age of 1.1 years. Biologically, that pace has been tied to a 56% higher risk of death and chronic disease, which was a wake up call. Since getting my results, I've started tightening up my diet and I'm making sure I take my thyroid medicine every day. And I plan to get back into lifting weights. Because this isn't just about aging, it's about quality of life. Trudiagnostic gave me clear strategies to slow that pace down. Based on cutting edge research from Yale, Duke and Harvard. The test was easy. I did it right from home. Just a quick finger prick. Mail it back, and a couple weeks later, I got a full breakdown of how each of my 11 organ systems is aging. It's not just a number, it's a full map of where you're headed and how to change it.

The attack left Bruce Walden with a cut from his right ear to the back of his neck that required 40 stitches and he's got a brain bleed.

[Cindy Overton]

And I know what that looks like.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah because I had it right. And they said this is just an act of evil and just senselessness. The daughter told a TV station. My dad is having a lot of nightmares and just wakes up screaming because he's afraid they're going to come and try and hurt the rest of the of the family. So there you go.

[Cindy Overton]

They don't say if those other the group had priors or anything like that. It seems like they do. I mean if you're 40 years old acting, you don't just I'm not going to go out into this world and just go attack somebody.

[Woody Overton]

I'm sure they're not doctors and nurses and I'm sure they're not good upstanding citizens.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, just curious.

[Woody Overton]

Y that's why you're the main she don't give up. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say it. And if you're in your 40s and you're beating with beer bottles, it's not your first rodeo. Yeah, I saw a tick tock last night this little B girl and I mean you know, I got cowboy hats and and belts now and all that but this little bitty girl in the arena on this big ass horse and I wish I had it. I wish I had saved it or sent it to you. And she is. They, she got on, they put her on the horse. She couldn't even get on herself. Put her on a horse and she, you know, the barrels that they ride, she rode some faster than anybody I've ever seen.

[Cindy Overton]

Wow.

[Woody Overton]

And I'm talking about she was just whooping that horse, riding it. How was I telling you that?

[Cindy Overton]

Because it wasn't your first rodeo.

[Woody Overton]

Oh yeah. So right.

[Cindy Overton]

Made you think of rodeo.

[Woody Overton]

It really did.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, I take, I guess I take your, your family matters and I raise it a family matters.

[Woody Overton]

Here comes another family matter.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. This is a sad, sad story. There's a six year old who's forced to wear a dog collar and we are in Florida. The young 6 year old is a, is a boy and his stepfather was 42 year old Zachary Perez or Pettis, a former Marine from Florida. And the stepfather is now facing charges of aggravated child abuse after police reviewed shocking video footage footage and disturbing eyewitness accounts of what they describe as prolonged and intentional torture. The abuse came to light in May of this year when surveillance footage revealed Perez yanking the child to the ground with a pink dog leash wrapped around his neck. The boy is seen then being kicked, punched and forced to carry a heavy backpack.

[Woody Overton]

Nice.

One of the prosecutors say that the backpack was filled with rocks. In court, Assistant State Attorney Lily Wisset didn't hold back. She described Pettis as or Perez as a ticking time bomb, noting that the boy was suspect was the boy was subjected to two straight days of extreme physical punishment and mental torment. The child's mother reportedly left the home to run errands during part of the abuse, but later turned over the surveillance footage to the investigators. The video shows not only the leash and the beatings, but also the stepfather chasing the boy with a stick and dragging him by the collar. Police said the boy had visible injuries including facial bruises, scratches and a rash around his neck.

[Woody Overton]

Nice.

[Cindy Overton]

Adding to the gravity of the case, additional victims have come forward after the stepfather's arrest. His 14 year old daughter reportedly spoke out about her own experiences of abuse under her father's care and and they did not disclose those specific details yet. Despite the graphic nature of the evidence. A judge released him on house arrest in mid June and he is under strict orders to stay at least 500ft away from the child and the boy's mother while awaiting trial.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, let me know how that works out for him.

[Cindy Overton]

His defense is.

[Woody Overton]

I can't wait to hear this one.

[Cindy Overton]

His military background and his mother testified that he suffers from PTSD and a traumatic brain injury and hearing loss as a result of his time in combat. But prosecutors and child Advocates also say that trauma he inflicted cannot be dismissed. I mean, no, no trauma.

[Woody Overton]

There's hundreds of thousands of people with PTSD and, and, and wartime trauma that don't do that shit.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly. So Amanda Altman, who's the CEO of the. Of a child advocacy group named Christy House, told reporters that the six year old likely endured severe emotional and psychological trauma in addition to his physical injuries. And, and she called the treatment. He endured prolonged torture, as I said before. So the stepfather's next court date is scheduled for August 28th.

[Woody Overton]

Nice, nice, nice. Right? What, another idiot in the world? So, well, let's go to. Well, let me ask you this question first. S, W, O, R D. How do you pronounce it?

[Cindy Overton]

Sword.

[Woody Overton]

Okay. I say sword.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. Sword.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, but.

[Cindy Overton]

But the W is like minute sword.

[Woody Overton]

I see it on like TV shows and shit and they say it different than I said.

[Cindy Overton]

They say.

[Woody Overton]

I'm just telling you, I, I can't even pronounce the way they say it, but it doesn't sound the way I say it.

[Cindy Overton]

So you say sword.

[Woody Overton]

Sword.

[Cindy Overton]

And they probably say sword.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Sword. Yeah, yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

So like scissors.

[Woody Overton]

Right. They were like, kept saying, say that word again.

[Cindy Overton]

Sword.

[Woody Overton]

They kept saying sword. And I was like, were. They swore an oath or something and then figured out they were talking about an actual sword.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Anyway, whatever. Each his own. So we're going to Texarkana, Texas.

[Cindy Overton]

I'm assuming there's a sword.

[Woody Overton]

There is a sword. And there's also a 19 year old dude who's in jail. This, this is just a crazy story. So why is he in jail? He is accused of attacking an individual with a sword during an argument and hacking away the victim's hand. He sorted it off. Right, and mutilating his face. But you know what he did when the cops got there? Well, the cops found me because. Well, they didn't find him there. He blamed it on the dog.

[Cindy Overton]

What? Yeah, a clean cut with a sword.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Okay, but his name is De Royce Brown of Texas Arcana. And then when the cops caught up with him, he said, I cut his hand off. This is according to the probable cause affidavit. All right, so Brown is charged with second degree assault with a deadly weapon for attacking another man at a house in the 500 block of Lumpkin Street. And the Texarkana Police Department filed Brown's affidavit in Bowie county on Wednesday after they took him to custody. Into custody the morning of the attack. He's been held on a five hundred thousand dollar bond. So when this motherfucker just doesn't even make any sense. So a witness who was at the home told he had heard Brown arguing with the victim before he woke up and saw blood on the floors. And Brown.

[IQ Bar Advertiser]

He ran like a little bitch.

[Woody Overton]

And then. And he was later found at a nearby address on Waterman Street. And you know how the cops found him? Followed a blood trail.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, my gosh.

[Woody Overton]

And so stupid. That was one of the greatest cases I ever saw during Katrina. The people punched a hole in the wind in that little gas station down south of Walker. And I literally followed the blood trail. All I could grab was some cigarette lighters. And I follow the blood trail to the trailer park to right up to the door like this motherfucker's bleeding. And I heard him scurrying around and knocking on the door. Of course it was leading because all the power was out. But anyway, the cops followed this guy's blood trail and to the. All the way from the crime scene to where he was on Brown Street. So they bring him in, and during his police interview, they were like, hey, dude, just go ahead and tell us what happened. You know, what he said, what else you think happened? And that's what he said before describing how he sliced up the man's face and stabbed his eye as well as his shoulder. The two of them had been drinking and were reportedly fighting over an item that Brown thought was taken from him. Okay. Brown then tried to claim that a dog attacked the victim, along with stating that he acted in self defense. Well, the cops couldn't find any animals inside of the home or evidence of an attack on Brown. The. The sword master. Yeah, so. But after speaking to the cops, Brown was spotted on surveillance cameras acting erratically in the interview room.

[IQ Bar Advertiser]

Brown began to laugh at.

[Woody Overton]

You know, just like on Haley's case, when they leave the room, let him stay thinking about.

[IQ Bar Advertiser]

But Brown began to laugh out loud.

[Woody Overton]

And said he didn't want to talk and confirmed he wanted a lawyer. This all an affidavit. And. And they said he lay down on the floor at one point and verbally recounted how the victim was screaming. Hey, Mr. Brown, you're on camera, you idiot. Brown's face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. That seems a little light for losing a hand and an eye and his new face sliced open.

[Cindy Overton]

Seems very light.

[Woody Overton]

I don't know. You know, it's nothing like there's a whole lot of sword master makers like the. What were they called?

[Cindy Overton]

Samurais.

[Woody Overton]

Yes, yes, samurais. And it took like, however many years and years and Years to build one sword because it kept folding the metal over on each other, making his razor sharp and thin. I mean, I'm pretty sure Mr. Brown got a 20 sword from the flea market. It's probably dull as a pencil.

[Cindy Overton]

Maybe he cut a whole hand off.

[Woody Overton]

Well, you got one of those million dollar samurai swords. Yeah, I cut your hand off with that microphone if I wanted to.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't think he worked that hard. He doesn't seem like the guy was.

[Woody Overton]

Going to work that hard about one of his one.

[Cindy Overton]

I mean he probably was probably.

[Woody Overton]

So it's probably woke up the neighbor.

[Cindy Overton]

Jeez. Please, your turn. We're going to California. California again, to UC Berkeley and the school of Business. And there was a associate professor and I'm going to call him Jezorski, I cannot say his first name and he's an associate professor, so. In early July of 2025, he traveled to Athens to attend a custody hearing and to see his 10 year old twins who lived with his ex wife in Greece. On July 4th, just steps away from her home, he was shot and killed by a masked assailant operating in broad daylight. The professor had been navigating a volatile custody dispute and six weeks before his death, he had filed a restraining order in California describing prior incidents in Greece which were alleged assaults, intimidation, intimidation and coercive behavior by his ex wife's partner. Christos.

[Smoothie King Advertiser]

Life is a workout and Smoothie King is here to help you power through. Whether you're crushing morning miles or sprinting through back to back meetings. Give your body the energy, protein and power it needs to help you conquer your goals.

[Cindy Overton]

Only at Smoothie King during the child exchanges and the restraining order was denied. Within days, Greek authorities made arrests in connection to Jaworski's murder. And among those taken into custody were Nadia, his ex wife, her current partner, two Albanian nationals and a Bulgarian national. One of the arrested individuals is a minor. According to the alleged confession by Nadia's boyfriend, he carried out the murder in quotes for her and our children. Claiming fear that Jaswarski would gain full custody. He admitted lying in wait near the victim's ex wife's residence and shooting Jeworski multiple times in the chest and back. The weapon had been purchased in advance and it was. The accomplices are the ones that I named above are the ones that helped provide the weapon. They helped the planning and the transportation of everything. While these four associates confessed, Nadia continues to deny any wrongdoing and her lawyer maintains she has no knowledge of the plot. Greek prosecutors have charged her as a moral accomplice. And a judge has ordered she remain in custody pending trial. Jaworski's twin children now are under local child welfare, welfare protection in Greece and are split citizens of US and Poland. His brother Jaswarski's brother Lukas, has since begun efforts to bring them into a safe environment and is pursuing their adoption. So among colleagues and family, Jaworski is remembered as a dedicated, optimistic scholar and loving father. And they are, you know, raising money and making public statements. And his academic peers and relatives have sought justice while trying to honor his legacy. So sad.

[Woody Overton]

As the World turns, right? Yep. All right, well, you know, this is the week everybody goes back to school. Do you ever ride the school bus?

[Cindy Overton]

Yes.

[Woody Overton]

Short bus. Just these did. I mean, you had to ride a school bus.

[Cindy Overton]

I did. And I also rode a helicopter to school too. So that's that.

[Woody Overton]

That's true. There is that.

[Cindy Overton]

But I did ride the bus.

[Woody Overton]

Look at how many different ways I got to school. Good.

[Cindy Overton]

I would sit like a silly person with the seat in front of me and I was leaning on it like this one day and I had my chin rested. Yeah, probably. And the bus hit a bump and I was on the back of the bus.

[Woody Overton]

And you bit your tongue.

[Cindy Overton]

I literally. It was bad. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.

[Woody Overton]

I started out, I remember going to like kindergarten. I guess my mom would have dropped me off in that big green van for that. Then I rode the school bus for a couple years. We lived out there by Ms. Patricia now. And I remember one time I had to so bad all the way back since like first grade. And. But when they dropped us off, we lived in way in the middle like we do now. And I had this long ass driveway, probably as long as that one. And I had to keep. You don't remember because I have never. You've told me this story that I had to keep my butt clenched all the way to the house. And so there's that. And then school buses later on. The only time I would ever ride them is for sporting events, football games and basketball, baseball. That when I played at track meets, I rode bicycle to school. Sometimes I ride my 10 speed. I think it was a 10 speed. And I guess that's it.

[Cindy Overton]

I walked to school.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, well, I used to run sometimes.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, I got dropped off at school. I did ride my bike to school. Rode a bus to school. Then I drove to school. And then I would get rides to go to school.

[Woody Overton]

All right, well, let me give you a twofer. It's time for Worldwide Crime. So we Got a worldwide crime because we're going to New Zealand and we got a bus. Right. It's not a school bus. It could have been there. The. This is. This story is just whack. Now. Come on, man. You know. Oh, I wrote bus when I was going into. In the army and stuff. Yeah, the. I rode buses all the time from the airport in Cancun to the ferry to go to. To cos. Because it was like $30 cheaper.

[Cindy Overton]

I used to have to ride the Greyhound places.

[Woody Overton]

Mm. The Mexican buses are nice. The ones I wrote, they were like double deckers and with air conditioners and big comfy seats and. And all that. But, you know, it's not the most expensive form of transportation. Yeah, right. So, I mean, you got. I don't think you have to pay for your luggage. They got all the luggage compartments underneath. It's not like an airplane, but you got to pay 50 a bag or whatever.

[Cindy Overton]

They might have changed it.

[Woody Overton]

Well, I don't know. I wouldn't imagine they would change. I arrest a lot of people at bus stations. But the. But, you know, it's just. It's an inexpensive way to travel, and it's got to be the least expensive way. But. And in that inexpensiveness, you're giving up several things, like direct flights, even though it takes a long time to get in. Check in the security and all that. Now you give it up. I don't know, maybe a bag of peanuts or some. Or no pretzels is what they serve now. Huh? Because of the peanut allergies. Everybody's. Nobody can eat anything anymore. And you're giving up a lot of. Because you got to make all these stops. We may stop in every little Podunk town in the world, but I don't know. There's a lot of drugs smuggle on the buses. The same one of them.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

All right, so news New Zealand. They. This bus makes a stop. It's passenger bus. And the. The pastor asked the bus driver, I have a. Can you open up the baggage compartment? I gotta get some out. He's like, yeah. So he goes down, he opens it up, and all the luggage is packed in there like it always is. He goes to get his. And what do you think they saw?

[Cindy Overton]

A person, drugs, a koala?

[Woody Overton]

Nah, I don't know. That's Australia. The. The. They saw one of the bags moving.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay, well, so.

[Woody Overton]

All right, so. And this is in Kawaki, which is around 60 miles north of Auckland. So the. The suitcase was moving. And what do you think they did? Well, they immediately Opened it. Now, I might have been a little bit more cautious because it would have had a tiger or a rougarou, a panther inside of it, right? But they opened it up and guess what they found?

[Cindy Overton]

A three year old little boy, two.

[Woody Overton]

Year old, little girl, two year old toddler stuffed inside a suitcase which is stored in the bus luggage compartment. But thankfully, because I already told you, she's wiggling. She was found alive and the. I mean this happened on August 3rd and I just don't get it. So the bag in question was immediately open and the child was discovered inside. Now, according to the detective chief Simon Harrison, who also did a press release, the girl was found very hot but otherwise appeared physically unharmed. She was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where she remained throughout the day for an extensive medical assessment. Well, the detective also admitted we don't have any idea how long the kid was in the suitcase. It's not like a 2 year old can tell you, right? It's not like she's wearing a Rolex that said, you know, they put me.

[Cindy Overton]

In at this time and Rolexes will tell you that.

[Woody Overton]

Probably the. Anyway, the. He added however, that a 27 year old woman yet to be named has been arrested and charged with ill treatment or neglect of the girl in a court. In the court documents, the woman had been traveling from Wangahari to Auckland and is accused of having placed the child in a closed suitcase in the bus to be a stowaway. How fucking expensive can it be for.

[IQ Bar Advertiser]

A 2 year old's ticket for a.

[Woody Overton]

Fucking bus across New Zealand?

[Cindy Overton]

Well, it's a whole seat, so it's probably costing what an adult would. But how expensive is that? But the, the what? So the person, the man that asked to look at like get something out was not the mother asking to get. Because I would have been, I mean I wouldn't have done it anyway, but I would have been like, okay, at the first stop I'm going to get you out. But what they, what are they going to do, charge me? And I would have been like, okay, can you get do that mate? I'll never do that. But that would make more sense.

[Woody Overton]

Well, obviously they hadn't got to their stop yet and thankfully the man and the bus driver did see bag move because that baby would have died. And who knows, maybe they've been doing this forever. But let me continue with the story. So the relationship to the child and the female is still unknown.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, she's still all right.

[Woody Overton]

We don't know that. You are assuming the anonymous woman could still face further charges ahead of her appearance in the North Shore District Court on August 4. Both New Zealand's Ministry for Children Oranga Tamarika and the children's Services have been notified of the incident now Entrada Travel Group the operating firm of the New Zealand's national bus line Inner City later told NBC that the child. I wonder if that's New Zealand Broadcasting Center. Certainly not the RNBC like the ABC in Australia is Australia anyway the they confirmed the NBC the child had been found inside one of its line of vehicles Earth buses. The travel group said an official statement Police were called to respond and are investigating the matter. No one was harmed during the incident and the service resume. I'm pretty sure that little girl has.

[Cindy Overton]

Some trauma and he.

[Woody Overton]

I bet. I bet she's got claustrophobia. But anyway the inner city bus driver that discovered the girl has since been praised by the D.C. harrison for having noticed something wasn't right and took immediate action preventing what could have been a far right worse outcome.

[Cindy Overton]

That's true.

[Woody Overton]

Yes. Cheers for that dude. Right. Because that would been a dead two year old and according to the bus lines website a child this is really going to you up A child up to 2 years old can travel for free. Wait. If seated on their guardian's lap. Any child over the age of three must travel with the ticket. How much is a bus ticket in New Zealand? How much you think?

[Cindy Overton]

$10.

[Woody Overton]

One to $4. One to $4 because the national the national bus size not like her for profit deal 1 to $4 she puts a 2 year old for whatever reason nefarious or not. I mean it's not like the bus driver is a child Police knows that you kidnap someone if that happened it's probably just cheap ass mom 1 to $4 but Jay, you have to spend a dollar she could have sat on your lap and rode for free but you didn't want to sit in your lap. No but you but you'll take a suitcase from home. Shove her ass in the case baby getting it. Maybe she doped her up.

[Cindy Overton]

That's right.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah baby have some of mama's heroin and get in a suitcase and we're gonna go on across the way.

[Cindy Overton]

That's speculation.

[Woody Overton]

That's exactly right. That's exactly right. You are so we love and appreciate each and every one of y'. All. This is it's crazy week long week. Golly. I just wonder if everybody else does that. They like the longest week ever is coming up and then. Then after this week I swear we're not doing anything for X amount of time or whatever. You know what I mean? And then it just seems like every other week. Here it comes again.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't think. I think most people just know that their life is busy and that's.

[Woody Overton]

Well, it doesn't. Us not leaving doesn't mean it's not busy. Now it's busy as. And me being on the right.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So it's like a twofer.

[Cindy Overton]

A twofer.

[Woody Overton]

A three for, four for, a five for.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know.

[Woody Overton]

I don't either.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't want to speculate because if.

[Woody Overton]

You do, you get. All right. I've got nothing else.

[Cindy Overton]

Happy birthday Eve to our oldest son.

[Woody Overton]

Well, happy birthday. Belated birthday. If we didn't do it already. To her one year old granddaughter Ember, who's waddling around and giving kisses to the phone and all kinds of wonderful. Yes and yes. Happy birthday Eve to our son. Second or oldest son?
