[Woody Overton]

Hello, everybody and welcome this episode of true crime. Time for Tuesday, August 19, 2025 and I'm Woody Overton.

[Cindy Overton]

I'm Cindy Overton.

[Woody Overton]

Doing it again. True crime Time four four. True crime time four. Well, yeah, I kind of got off on tangent on the last show on Alaska and all kinds of stuff, but the who knows what we'll say today.

[Cindy Overton]

I actually did want to say this. You know, I don't like. I like Alaska. I don't want to live in Alaska because of the cold. I cannot stand cold. I'd rather sweat every second.

[Woody Overton]

No, no, no. You know, what the fuck is the difference between sitting down in a tub.

[Cindy Overton]

Of ice water for two minutes versus 24 hours a day?

[Woody Overton]

But don't say you don't love the cold.

[Cindy Overton]

I like the effects of that afterwards.

[Woody Overton]

You live in Alaska. You can get that every day.

[Cindy Overton]

I know. And if we could win it on a cont that we would have kid so much.

[Woody Overton]

They were such stupid challenges, like spend the night in the woods by yourself without your significant other. I'm like, that's like, yeah. Both of us are like, I wish they would.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[True Crime Contributor]

Clean an animal. I wish they would shoot a firearm.

[Woody Overton]

I wish they would.

[True Crime Contributor]

That that's why.

[Woody Overton]

We'Ll never be on one of those shows.

[Cindy Overton]

No, because we'll win.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

We would win that all day long. That would have been so exciting. And they wouldn't have gotten it back from us. That old man would not have gotten it back.

[Woody Overton]

So hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for AO. Hashtag just Ms. Barbara Blunt, y' all continue calling you tips 313RLRCTIP. And I guess, I guess I gotta start playing more of these tips just so people can get the. I mean, I don't even know how many they are. It's a fucking lot. Whether it's text messages, Facebook messenger through the app, real life crime community app, phone calls to the tip line, phone calls to my personal cell phone that smoke signals.

[True Crime Contributor]

People are just pouring it out and every bad thing that ever done in.

[Woody Overton]

Burning parish they won't tell me about.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes. And then but some people are afraid to still like even after they leave you a tip, they're afraid that you're going to divulge like reveal them and you would never ever, ever, ever, ever do that. So if you are afraid, you can still call in safely and leave your information.

[Woody Overton]

Yep, yep, yep. And if I, if I ever do the tip like one of the ones did, we did a voice altering app. They don't even know if it's male or female they call it.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly.

[Woody Overton]

I'm not going to do anything to put anybody in trouble and I don't have to play by law enforcement rules and I've turned my over. So as an investigative journalist, you know, it is what it is. The but call them in y'. All. It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen exactly when it's supposed to happen and not a second before. But they came here today to listen to some true crime. Time for so what you got?

[True Crime Contributor]

It's time for effed up.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't know if this is the proper category to put this person in, but I have a Catholic priest in Homewood, Alabama. His name is Father Robert Sullivan and he's 61 years old and he is currently on personal leave from his role as pastor at Our lady of Sorrows Church.

[Woody Overton]

Back in the day they was just moving somewhere. El. Uh huh.

[Cindy Overton]

There was allegations made by Heather Jones, who is now 33, who says that she had a relationship with him that began in 2009 when she was 17.

[Woody Overton]

I was about to say at least it wasn't a kid. And it's a female. Not a little boy this time. But 17 is a gray hair.

[Cindy Overton]

17 is a gray area.

[Woody Overton]

But the priest is supposed to keep his pecker locked up.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, Catholic priests, okay, so a priest is supposed to keep his pecker locked up.

[Woody Overton]

Not all priests, Catholic, Catholic, they swear.

[True Crime Contributor]

An oath to God. And I am not going to put.

[Woody Overton]

My penis inside of anything. I forgo the any type of sex act to concentrate on my faith.

[Cindy Overton]

And so what are some places that a priest should not go to?

[Woody Overton]

You can't say that. I mean because if I was a priest I would go into and like it says in the Bible, whether you believe in it or not, Jesus would rather hang out with the sinners than the saints. You want to go into the worst of the worst and try to convert people? Okay, say titty bars, whorehouses, whatever, Right? If you're going in there to convert People.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, if you're going to convert to have a relationship with them. Yeah, I think if you go. If she's. She was a stripper at the time.

[Woody Overton]

Okay.

[Cindy Overton]

Of their relationship. So Joan says that she first met Sullivan at the strip club where she danced. And over time he offered her. You're not going to believe this amount of money. $273,000 in exchange. In exchange for signing a non disclosure agreement and entering what he described as a private relationship that included financial support and private companionship. A few days later, Jones reports receiving two wire transfers each for $136,500. And they were sent under the name of an attorney's office. So Sullivan's. Sullivan initially introduced himself as a doctor and over the years took her to shops, restaurants, hotels and other locations across six different cities in Alabama. In addition to covering her rehab expenses, Sullivan also bought her a phone. And financial records show that between July 18th of 2024 and March of 2025, she received close to 120,000 through Venmo. Jones says that she she felt compelled to come forward because Sullivan remains involved in closely with families and children. She hopes her disclosure may protect others from similar harm. And Sullivan has been a priest for over 32 years and previously served as president of John Carroll High School for six years. And in response to the allegations, Bishop Steve Rika of the Diocese of Birmingham confirmed that while there isn't enough evidence for criminal investigation, a church run canonical investigation is underway and the diocese victim assistance coordinator has remained in contact with Jones and offered support and the case has been reported to the Vatican.

[Woody Overton]

Well, there you have it. So the one time as Father Fashion is no longer alive. This is like in the late 80s, the. He had on like Gucci shoes or something like that. And, but, and, and then all black. And I asked him or no, the person I was with asked him about that and he said I took a vow of celibacy, not power, poverty.

[Cindy Overton]

I thought they took about a vow of poverty.

[Woody Overton]

No, that's like Buddhist monster said, that's they, they took the vow of celibacy and it is what it is. So I'm gonna see if I can get this to play Beast Mode. But that in Austin, Texas. Austin Pets Alive is the name of the company. Okay. In this, this is in the Town Lake Animal Center. This dude in his yellow shirt, neon yellow shirt, he breaks into.

[Cindy Overton]

A kennel.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, it's a fucking huge kennel, if you can see the video. He breaks into the kennel and he lets every dog go. Everyone I Don't know. But they he did it. And he released the majority of the dogs at the facility from the kennel. Well, guess what? One dog got dead.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And others hurt after. After he did it. I guess it's gonna be a short story but the, you know, well say awesome. Pets Alive said the incident led to a search for missing pets as well as at least five dogs sustaining injuries and even the death of one dog. All the missing dogs were found and accounted for as of 11:45am I guess including the dead one. But according to the animal rescue, the injured dogs were receiving veterinary care and were in stable condition. So Austin PD shout out to them my friends that are there. Austin Police department said a security guard at the facility was taken to the hospital with non life threatening injuries and later release. He. He got his ass bit trying to probably corral the dogs back up, right? Yeah, they said this is an incredibly difficult morning for our team. Dr. Ellen Jefferson, President CEO of the Austin Pets Alive, the dog that passed the past was surrounded by people who loved him and we will be honoring his life in a separate internal announcement.

[True Crime Contributor]

Right now our priority is the safety.

[Woody Overton]

Of the remaining dogs and finding the two who are still missing and moving terrified dogs to foster homes as fast as we can where they can Recover. According to APD, a break in occurred around 1:20am and but they didn't find out about it till four hours later. Like somebody came up to walk the dogs.

[Cindy Overton]

And what's the motivation behind that?

[Woody Overton]

At 12:15pm APD said no suspect has been identified and no arrests have been made related to the break in. Well, they got this on camera and I can promise you his mama could idm. That's how clear the video is. Yeah, it's probably been arrested by now, but there you go. What would possess him to do that? I have no idea. But there is a beast mode and man, pretty sure people housing their dogs. I want you should think that they have security cameras.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, right.

[Woody Overton]

Whatever.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, I've got a beast mode too.

[Woody Overton]

Really? Too fur beast mode for Tuesday. Beast mode.

[Cindy Overton]

So I am going to Burling Burlington, Colorado.

[Woody Overton]

All right.

[Cindy Overton]

And there was a three year old little girl that was fatally attacked by a dog.

[Woody Overton]

Okay.

[Cindy Overton]

But it's not just any dog. It was a retired K9 and the daughter was the police chief's daughter. The little girl was the police chief's daughter.

[Woody Overton]

Sorry to hear that.

[Cindy Overton]

So the child was found unresponsive in the yard and later died at the hospital. The name of the police chief is Nathan Hill and he had been housing the retired police dog named Draco while at his family's home. And Draco was a German shepherd or is a German shepherd who had previously served as a narcotics detection dog with the Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office. And after the county discontinued its canine program, Draco was retired and donated to the Burlington Police Department, where he was housed by Chief Hill at his residence. Despite being a former canine, Draco had never been trained for aggression, bite work or patrol duties. So when deputies and emergency personnel arrived at the scene, they found the child and her mother in the backyard. The dog had been secured in a kennel, and medical responders took the child to the hospital where she was pronounced dead, and Draco was transported to the Burlington Dog pound and subsequently euthanized. Local law enforcement agencies, including Kit Carson County Sheriff's Office, have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding that attack. And in a statement, Burlington police expressed sincere condolences to Chief Hill's family in emphasizing how deeply the incident has impacted the community. Let's just.

[Woody Overton]

It's unreal.

[Cindy Overton]

There truly is.

[Woody Overton]

I don't. I don't know. I mean, it's. I don't know. It's dogs and babies. It's a no win situation. And when they kill them. Yeah, I hate that. And this his own daughter.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Chief police say prayers for them. All right.

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 trudiagnostic and it opened my eyes. Biological age is one of the most accurate indicators of how fast you're aging on the inside, 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 could 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 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 and that gives me some hope. They also showed me something called my dune in pace 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.

Planes, trains and automobiles. Now I'm gonna try to do again play a different record and let's see if they actually have the wording on this one. Right. So y', all this is. This is not even funny. But it's kind of funny. So I'm gonna play a recording y'. All and this dude it we're going back to Colorado where you just were and this dude's obviously drunk AF right and doesn't really go over well and because he just. I mean you can be drunk on a plane, people don't care as long as you're not an this guy's an here listen. All right, so let me tell you what what saw on the video because again unless you're watching on YouTube, you can't see it. So this guy's standing up in the aisle way on the plane. He's drunk. The the flight attendant says sir you need to sit down. And he called her the N word. He said fu N word. And she's like sir, you need to sit down. And he wouldn't do it. He kept refusing. Then she breaks out zip ties. Now this guy is probably in his 30s or something. Well you know I could read you the story the so they said a drunk Breeze Airways. I never even heard of that passenger spewed racial slurs at staff. Broke out her restraints twice. She tried to restrain him and aggressively waved a skateboard as he forced an emergency landing on board an LA bound flight. So this name was David leroy Carter. He's 46 year old years old from Los Angeles and he may evidently had to make the mercy land in Colorado. And when they landed I would be so pissed off about that first of all. But they land it and of course the cops get on board and they cuff him and stuff him right? So the this happened after he became agitated four hours into his flight from North Norfolk, Virginia, to Los Angeles. So the Grand Junction Police Department said airline staff had placed the intoxicated passenger in restraints twice during the flight. But he managed to break free both times during his profanity lace tirade around 11:15am and Breeze Flight MX704 was diverted to Grand Junction Airport in Colorado. Now, upon landing. Told you. Carter was arrested and then he was booked into the Mesa County Detention facility. They said this is an ongoing investigation and any further information and charges will be released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. So the footage, and this looks kind of funny, they said the Starling footage of the midair chaos, which was posted to Tick Tock, shows a flight attendant appearing to try to restrain Carter with plastic zip ties. But Carter was having none of it, and he pushed past that worker to stand face to face with another worker. Right. And he's. When they had the zip ties out, he said you could hear in that audio, he said, that's the last thing you're going to do to me. And that's what he told the flight attendant. She said, stop. You need to sit down. And he. He smirked and smiled at her. It's on the video. And he said, no, ma'. Am. The flight attendant then asked other passengers and workers to help her get control of the situation and restrain Carter. Well, sorry for Carter. Look at that. Big dang. This giant of a man in a white T shirt.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, he.

[Woody Overton]

He stands up and he walks up. I mean, he's like. He's like. He's got to be like 2ft bigger in Carter.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't know how tall he is, but he.

[Woody Overton]

He was. He's like £300. So it says.

[True Crime Contributor]

Seconds later, a large man in a white T shirt walks over the Carter.

[Woody Overton]

And he's towering over him. Yeah. And then what does he do? He scoops him up like a little.

[True Crime Contributor]

Baby, picks him up. He picks him up under the arms with ease and carries him like a.

[Woody Overton]

Child through the plains aisle and then plants him in a seat, which means he slams him down the seat and he says, sit your ass down.

[True Crime Contributor]

So police report there were no injuries.

[Woody Overton]

During the midair bedlam. But Breeze Airways told NBC Los Angeles that one flight attendant and one guest were evaluated for minor injuries. They said our focus now is on taking care of our crew and remaining guests who've been unfairly inconvenienced by this unfortunate event in getting them safely to their final destination as quickly as possible. FBI said charges are going to be forwarded to the U.S. attorney's office for Colorado. And I'm sure it'll be a multitude of you're an idiot charges, as it should be.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, well, I feel like airplanes, especially like long distance flights like that need to have a holding cell. I mean turn one of the bathrooms into a jail cell.

[Woody Overton]

Okay, well let's, let's talk about that. Let's talk about the fees feasibility of that. Just saying if you take a bathroom out, you're inconvenience people who have to poo and pee.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

You're also inconveniencing people or that want to have sex. And, and the, the, you take that out. So you're convenience in that or at the very least you're taking out space from more seats. Right.

[True Crime Contributor]

Let's say of having to make an emergency stop.

[Woody Overton]

Listen, listen to me. Ford Motor Company was the first corporation ever charged with a criminal charge. This back in the 70s or 80s, early 80s, whenever it was, they built the Ford Pinto. They knew the Ford Pintos gas tank was in the rear of the car and they knew if it got hit from testing. They, they had all the internal memos. They knew that if you hit, got hit from the rear, your car was gonna blow up and you were going to die. And they chose to push him out anyway because it was a popular seller. And they figured we will make, we will pay out less money in civil lawsuits than it would be to bring all these cars back in and fix them. So this is kind of still true crime. Airplanes, they are all about. You notice over the years how small the seats have gotten, how they don't come around and give you all the free shit anymore. And everything is all about the dollar being inconvenienced. They, I guarantee you they got an internal memo somewhere in airlines that say, yeah, we could do that or you know, do whatever. It, you know, we have some kind of restraining area then. But what are the percentage chances of an asshole like this doing that versus the money we would lose on, on the thousands of flights we do every week? See what I'm saying?

[Cindy Overton]

I kind of see what you're saying, but I think it's a huge inconvenience and a huge amount of money to land in Colorado.

[Woody Overton]

And not as much as it would.

[True Crime Contributor]

Be to give up every plane that they have to make an area that.

[Woody Overton]

Everything on the airplane is super tight from where you put your luggage to whatever. They're not ever going to do that.

[Cindy Overton]

I know they're not, but I'm just saying it would be a simple fix. Just take away a bathroom.

[Woody Overton]

You still got to get them into that area. But go ahead, give us another story.

[Cindy Overton]

Put a man like that other man, that dude. If that dude ended up put him on every flight.

[Woody Overton]

He's an NFL lineman, I guarantee you.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, well I gotta. Planes, trains and automobiles.

[Woody Overton]

There we go. We're just doubling up on each other today.

[True Crime Contributor]

It's time for worldwide crime.

[Cindy Overton]

We're going to Kansas.

[Woody Overton]

Kansas. What's up Doc?

[Cindy Overton]

Lorraine, Kansas. And there's a 32 year old woman from Lorain, Kansas identified as Kayla Arabo. And she's facing charges after a crash that killed 55 year old Deanna Summerfield and. But her friends and family called Deanna June Arabo was already on probation from previous DUI offenses when the incident occurred at the intersection of K140 highway and East Reese Road, roughly 97 miles north of Wichita. Prosecutors say that Erebo tampered with the ignition interlock device in her car. And it's similar to the built in breathalyzers.

[Woody Overton]

Same thing.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. Is intended and it's intended to prevent a vehicle from starting if the driver's breath registers above the legal alcohol limit. At the time of the crash, Deanna was a passenger in a vehicle driven by her husband, 61 year old Mark Summerfield. And both were wearing seatbelts. And Deanna died at the scene while Mark was hospitalized with non life threatening injuries. Court documents revealed that Erebo has a legal history with which includes a DUI arrest in January of 2024.

[Woody Overton]

Probably where the naturally the end get on probation. I don't know. I've seen a lot, a lot a lot of pleas and DUI cases and stuff and I can assure you they don't do it for. They don't put that breathing device on your car for the first offense.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, she had one at that time and she tampered with it.

[Woody Overton]

Okay.

[Cindy Overton]

And then followed by another DUI arrest in June of 2024 for fleeing a law enforcement officer because she knew she.

[Woody Overton]

Was already in trouble and she's backing up five years or whatever, six months however long it is.

[Cindy Overton]

And she was driving without obviously a valid license and operating a vehicle without the required interlock device. So she had borrowed somebody's vehicle.

[Woody Overton]

Right.

[Cindy Overton]

In October 2024 she. She pleaded guilty to those charges.

[Woody Overton]

These are. She have kids?

[Cindy Overton]

No idea.

[Woody Overton]

The just get your kid to come out and blow on the vice for you? No.

[Cindy Overton]

How about have your kid come and pick you up or take an Uber?

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, but I'm talking about you, your 2 year old to do it. Hey, this mommy's game. Blow on. On the stick.

[Cindy Overton]

Apparently there's like a blow and hum. And I only know this because of Real Housewives. One of my real. Real Housewives, Shannon got a DUI and she got a brand new vehicle with the device. She had to have it in. In the vehicle. And she couldn't drive the darn vehicle after she had it like six months. She only had like five miles driven on it. Because every once in a while you have to like every few minutes, every whatever amount have to blow and do a hum blow thing and she couldn't do it.

[Woody Overton]

You say that's. That's because people were getting their kids to blow one.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly.

[Woody Overton]

Now you got to really concentrate in the hum.

[Cindy Overton]

Can you imagine?

[Woody Overton]

You got a hum. The. I'm not even going there. I could. I don't think I could do that sober.

[Cindy Overton]

I could do it.

[Woody Overton]

Oh God.

[Cindy Overton]

And she had.

[Woody Overton]

We're not making fun of people getting killed and, and accidents. That's for sure. By drunk drivers.

[Cindy Overton]

No, no, no. And I'm very glad that they made the device. Not an easy blow and go. Like I mean you have to actually be of sound mind.

[Woody Overton]

55 years old.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

As soon as you got a prison.

[Cindy Overton]

So she was. She pled guilty to the charges and was placed on one year probation. And that which is set to end in November 2025. And in response to this crash, prosecutors have filed to revoke her probation. And during her court appearance this week, Arabo was charged with second degree murder, reckless driving, circumventing an ignition interlock device and improper driving of a laned roadway. And her bill is set at $1 million. And if granted bail, she would not be allowed to leave her home without monitoring or an. Which we already know she evades alcohol detection devices, but she's also barred from driving, which she already was. And contacting any victims or wit.

[Woody Overton]

I was about to say let's talk about the victim. That. That had one line. That whole story about the victim. 55 year old woman who got murdered. Murdered because a stupid bitch.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. And set on driving a vehicle while she was drunk. Like where. Where do you have to go so badly that you have to drive this day and age? If you need more alcohol, they'll deliver it to you.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

You know what I mean? Like.

[Woody Overton]

And you've done this like a million times.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly. Why is she out and able to do this too?

[Woody Overton]

I don't know. It's fucked up.

[True Crime Contributor]

It's time for worldwide crime.

[Woody Overton]

We are going to Sri Lanka.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

All right. And I know you like your little bit of chocolate.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes. But I did not like that. That matcha chocolate stuff that we got. Yeah, that was.

[Woody Overton]

That was weird, huh? Tastes like dirt.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes. That was not my vibe.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, well. Yeah, you're right about that. Well, I don't know what Siri like. Where is Siri Lincoln? I never.

[Cindy Overton]

Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka?

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. What country is that in?

[Cindy Overton]

I don't know.

[Woody Overton]

Where's Sri Lankan?

[Cindy Overton]

Here it is on the map.

[Woody Overton]

I should ask it. It's 9,725 miles away. What country is Sierra Lanka?

[Cindy Overton]

Yes, I found this on the web.

[Woody Overton]

Evidently it's the same country.

[Cindy Overton]

That's what I was gonna say. I think it's its own country.

[Woody Overton]

Columbia. Distance Colombia.

[Cindy Overton]

Sri Lanka is down.

[Woody Overton]

I thought it was over like India or somewhere. What country is Sri Lanka next to continent?

[Cindy Overton]

The answer I found is India.

[Woody Overton]

There you go. That's right. All right. Anyway, there is your geography lesson for the day. So this dude, 67 year old Dara Masina Kura, he's no longer alive because he was beaten to death by a shopkeeper in his employee. He was, he's a pensioner, he's retired. But you know why they beat him to death?

[Cindy Overton]

He was stealing some bread.

[Woody Overton]

I was just talking about chocolate.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, sorry, you're right. He was stealing some chocolate.

[Woody Overton]

They. They accused him of stealing chocolate treat in the city of Kandy. Okay, now who is the victim? Lived with his wife in the Pali Irigama suburban after their two children have grown up and moved away. Now, Mr. Kure but often go to the nearby market in Paradenia to buy groceries and chocolates for himself and his wife.

[Cindy Overton]

That's nice, right?

[Woody Overton]

Well, on August 5th, the shop owner and employee confronted Mr. Cooray after claiming that CCTV footage from the previous day showed him stealing chocolate without pain.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, am I, how much is chocolate?

[Woody Overton]

I don't know. But that's not what I was gonna ask about the stealing part. I'm like why would you go back and watch your CCTV from the previous day on a 67 year old?

[Cindy Overton]

Because they probably suspected it.

[Woody Overton]

Well, I mean must be a really small fucking store. And they saw something or something because. Anyway.

[True Crime Contributor]

So.

[Woody Overton]

Well, when they confronted Mr. Kure, they drug him inside and they punched him and kicked him and police said they then hit him with an iron rod and he suffered. Now listen to this. He suffered multiple head and leg injuries. But they stopped there. They. They like get the out of my shop. And they took him and they drug him and they left him on the roadside. Isn't it crazy?

[Cindy Overton]

So what are their charges?

[Woody Overton]

Let's wait even done. And a woman who was passing by happened to recognize Mr. Cooray and took him to the hospital. And despite his grievous injuries, he. The police came to interview him and he was able to give him a statement. And he, he said he named his attackers. Right? As the, the shop owners.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And. But he can't name them anymore because he died on August 11. So a post mortem or an autopsy here by the candid judicial medical officer was inconclusive about the cause of death. But the police have arrested the two suspects who are currently in police custody in this cord and Tabijahata Winkanton, a chief inspector of the crime branch in Pradenia. Now Sri Lanka's aging population has traditionally relied on close knit family support. But economic hardship has driven younger relatives abroad or to urban areas for work which leave many people sleeves. Many people older people isolated. So they said more than 12% are over 60, making it the highest proportion in South Asia being old people. Right. So now we should just. I should have read down asking Siri. So it's in South Asia, they said.

[True Crime Contributor]

It's heartbreaking that instead of someone offering.

[Woody Overton]

To pay for it or the shop owner letting the gentleman enjoy the small treat, he had to pay the ultimate price with his life. So sad to see that compassion and humanity seem to be fading away from in our world today. Such a level of evil to beat a poor defenseless old man to death over chocolate. Let the justice system use these two idiots as examples.

[True Crime Contributor]

They deserve to ride in hell, said.

[Woody Overton]

Another local. So just briefly, I'm gonna give you a little idea about pensions in Sri Lanka, okay. Which is a country in South Asia. So neighbor said Mr. Kure's modest pension had been swallowed by inflation, which is a reality faced by means in Sri Lanka since the island's last this since the 2022 economic collapse. Now that unprecedented crisis was triggered by years of economic mismanagement left the country unable to import essentials such as fuel, food and medicine. Across the nation, pensioners who celebrated Sri Lanka's independence in 1948 and survived its devastating 26 year civil war are still struggling to live on a handful of rice each day.

[Cindy Overton]

That's horrible.

[Woody Overton]

So I guess still some chocolate. It was like stealing him and his wife up.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So annual inflation has eased since then, but prices for staples remain far above pre crisis levels, just like here in the United States. But the World bank estimates that poverty rates have doubled since 2019 and retirees on fixed incomes are among the hardest hit with many unable to afford adequate nutrition or health care.

[Cindy Overton]

That's crazy sad.

[Woody Overton]

The. I guess you call that third world country problem something. Yeah, the. The same we think. You know I'm reading it and thinking about here. Yeah. Even though candy bars. Boy, I used to go be able to go to the store and when I was like w. Younger than W. Yeah. I could go to the store, get.

[Cindy Overton]

Four Candy bars for a dollar I was gonna use.

[Woody Overton]

And now a candy bar is like $3.

[Cindy Overton]

Literally. And I remember counting quarters or change when I was little and I would, you know, walk home and we had the stores buy us and I could go to Baskin Robbins and get two scoops of ice cream because they were right.

[Woody Overton]

33 flavors.

[Cindy Overton]

31 flavors.

[Woody Overton]

31 flavors.

[Cindy Overton]

And I would get chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip or daiquiri ice and Zachary ice. Oh, my gosh. It's like, it's. You don't know what daiquiri ice is?

[Woody Overton]

Oh, you said daiquiri. I thought you said Zachary ice.

[Cindy Overton]

Daiquiri ice.

[Woody Overton]

I don't know what daiquiris is either.

[Cindy Overton]

Gosh, it's a. It's a Baskin Robbins flavor and it's amazing.

[Woody Overton]

I never spent much time in Baskin Robbers.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, I did because it was right in front. But anyway, I'd get my two scoops of ice cream for a dollar 25. Or if I could make it to the seven 11 across the street, which. Which is the same seven 11 that's still there. I would get a can Coke and a Snickers for a dollar. Yeah, I mean, I remember that clear as day.

[Woody Overton]

Remember getting a big ass Slurpee for the first time for like 79 cents. Yeah. Hey, how about when I was at USL Taco Bell? Soft or hard shell tacos and bean burritos. 39 cents.

[Cindy Overton]

Literally. Literally. Now they're 339 if not more.

[Woody Overton]

It is stupid.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Do you know, because I was on doordash this week when I was in the hotel room actually looking at Taco Bell. The taco. All right, so like a regular.

[Cindy Overton]

This is hard.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, it really is hard. Crunchy taco. It's like, I don't know, $2 and some. And do you know the difference between a supreme and a regular taco?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, one has sour cream and lettuce on it. The other one has lettuce.

[Woody Overton]

Sour cream.

[Cindy Overton]

Just the sour cream.

[Woody Overton]

Sour cream.

[Cindy Overton]

That's it.

[Woody Overton]

They charge you like another $75 for sour cream.

[Cindy Overton]

And it's a.it's like a little dollop.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, I don't give a fuck about sour cream. Yeah, but, you know, charge almost as much as you charge for the taco.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

For sour cream. Where are the good old days? 39 cent tacos. 39 cent bean burritos. I knew every special when I was poor college.

[Cindy Overton]

Think of the joy. I mean, you. That being. You always say you hate a thief, right?

[Woody Overton]

I do hate a thief. Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

But think of the joy that poor man felt bringing home that piece of chocolate to his wife. Because he probably didn't tell his wife that he stole it. You know what I mean? Like he was trying to do something sweet. And that's not.

[Woody Overton]

I'm pretty sure his wife. I'm pretty sure his wife knee he must have stolen when they only have rice to eat every day.

[Cindy Overton]

I know. That's so sad. We are so blessed.

[Woody Overton]

We are blessed and no doubt about it. And we love and appreciate each and every one of y'. All. Thank you for liking and listening and sharing. And if you want to go, leave us a review. Review and stay tuned. Hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for AO continue to calling you tips. Ms. Barbara Blunt's case, same thing. Some is about to break. And I can't say any more than that.
