• Woody delivers an emotional, fiery response, decrying the targeting of U.S. service members and denouncing the assailant.

  —Woody Overton (08:24–09:59)

• Woody and Cindy react incredulously to the level of violence described, questioning the lack of adult intervention.

  “I don’t know who can’t control an 8-year-old... If an adult was doing all this carnage, you would call the police... The child needs to be committed and locked up so he can’t hurt someone.”
  —Woody Overton (17:23)

• The segment ends in open disbelief at the family’s inability to manage the situation, with Woody suspecting exaggeration or lack of backbone.

  “So you’re telling the world you got your ass beat by an eight-year-old and he up your Thanksgiving?”

4. Crimes of Greed: Embezzlement & Automotive Entrepreneurship (27:07–44:50)

a. California Million-Dollar Embezzlement (27:07–33:12)

• Case details: Ping “Jenny” Gao, an executive assistant, stole more than $8.5 million from her employer, funding a lavish San Diego lifestyle.

  “How do you not know you’re missing $8.5 million?”
  —Woody Overton (27:15)

• The hosts dissect her elaborate attempts to forge documents, launder money, and defy court orders even after being sued—ultimately leading to federal charges and the likelihood of decades in prison.

  “Let me tell you something. If I had the ability to steal 8.9 million… I could promise you I’ll have 8 million hidden somewhere.”
  —Woody Overton (30:54)

• A PSA follows: Always implement financial checks and balances.

b. Colorado: Threats Against Judges (33:13–40:24)

• Cindy highlights the sentencing of Thomas Warnick, a Pueblo vet, to 15 years for threatening a Denver judge (and prior threats to a senator and others).

c. New York: The “Rental Car Entrepreneur” (40:24–44:50)

• Amused disbelief at a Syracuse rental car employee who stole 47 vehicles and rented them out himself.

  “So what he did, he was a rental car employee at the Syracuse airport, and he stole 47 vehicles and then rented them out himself.”
  —Woody Overton (41:31)

• Most cars recovered, suspect still at large; Woody praises the criminal’s ‘entrepreneurial spirit’ but underscores the consequences.

  “That’s pretty ingenious… you make minimum wage or whatever… yeah, I’m just gonna steal 49 vehicles…”
  —Woody Overton (44:28)

---

5. Reflections on Justice, Advocacy, and Ongoing Efforts (44:52–49:46)

• Woody and Cindy pivot to status updates on cold cases (notably “Justice for Bradley” and “Justice for Haley”), reiterating support for families and calling out perceived failures by investigators or prosecutors.

• Woody promises a coming episode with Ms. Barbara, the mother of a cold case victim, and readies the “lifers” (loyal fans) for renewed advocacy.

  “I want to believe in her because she was a cop… but that DA’s gotta live with herself. And after these lifers hear Ms. Barbara… burn their up…”
  —Woody Overton (48:02–49:29)

• Closing with thanks to the audience for their continued support and mobilization.

---

Notable Quotes

• On the D.C. Shooting:
  “That is a personal war attack. And he didn’t do it for no reason. He did it because he has a hatred… he had the evil in his heart, the hatred for America.”
  —Woody Overton (12:38)

• On Family Dysfunction:
  “Who the fuck’s gonna sit there and get hit in the head for three hours?... I’d love to put this bitch on the polygraph.”
  —Woody Overton (23:18)

• On Financial Controls:
  “If you have companies that are worth 8.9 million, you need to have a system of checks and balances in place.”
  —Woody Overton (32:01)

• On Crime and Justice:
  “It takes all kinds to make the world go round. That’s pretty ingenious…I mean, you make minimum wage or whatever you’re doing… that’s just the nature of crime and the way it rolls for sure.”
  —Woody Overton (44:50)

---

Tone & Style

• Blend of hard-hitting true crime analysis, frank Southern humor, and passionate advocacy.
• Woody’s tone is direct, emotional, and occasionally profane (“He can burn in hell.”)
• Cindy brings empathy and counterbalances Woody’s fire, especially in family/advocacy segments.
• Frequent use of “y’all,” storytelling digressions, and calls to action for listeners (“lifers”).

---

Summary for Non-Listeners

• The episode charges out of the gates with raw reactions to a devastating National Guard shooting in D.C., channeling sorrow and fury at senseless violence.
• It transitions to a viral family drama, where incredulity and tough-love advice rule the commentary.
• The latter half delivers a rapid-fire sequence of high-stakes crimes: multimillion-dollar embezzlement, threats against judges, and an audacious rental car scam.
• Advocacy remains core: Woody and Cindy double down on supporting victims and urge listeners to stay vigilant—whether it’s phoning in tips or calling out institutional negligence.
• Throughout, listeners get the Overtons’ signature unvarnished takes, running the gamut from laughter to lamentation—always, however, with an eye toward justice.

[Woody Overton]

Trial. Foreign. Welcome to this episode of True Crime. Time for Monday, December 1, 2025. And I'm Woody.

[Cindy Overton]

Overton. I'm Cindy.

[Woody Overton]

Overton. And we are back in the saddle. Full force. Guns ablaze and moving ahead. Time to rock and roll. Thanksgiving's done.

[Cindy Overton]

Right?

[Woody Overton]

Yes. It's time to work. So hashtag just for Bradley. And in Austin, we did we re released the first two episodes we record. I recorded with Morgan Baggott this weekend just because it's the worst Thanksgiving week is weekend is the worst weekend of the year besides Christmas for podcasts. So we don't want to waste any new material on on no one listening, right? And but the heat is on fire in Burning Parish. I'm still getting messages every day. We're getting calls on the tip line. Y' all continue to call it in 313 rlrc tip. I appreciate everyone that's doing it. There's a lot of people involved. They're starting Facebook groups and everything else. I bring the bring the heat every everybody talking about it, everybody doing it. You know, there's a lot of bad actors that are doing things to try to screw things up. We get that because these people don't want to go to jail, right? And that's the way that it is. But we're going to have a hashtag just for Bradley, for you, for patron convicts by Thursday and Thursday evening, I would say. And then everybody else would get it on Saturday. So continue to call it in, y' all. Watch what happens this week and watch what's going on. People in Burning Parish know all about it. But this December, last month of the year, right? And we've been rolling with it and we're going to continue to do so. Now, unfortunately, I, you know, I didn't even keep up with the news over the Thanksgiving weekend and all that because I just don't. I just time the family was in and all that stuff for the whole week and what have you. But I told Sin, you know, I just knew somebody was going to be an and do something shitty. And evidently they did it right before Turkey Day festivity started and we're going to Washington D.C. yeah, y', all, it's crazy. The, I mean, I know you've all heard about it by now, but I'm gonna play a audio version from Channel 4. In Washington, D.C. tonight, President Trump announced 20 year old specialist Sarah Beckstrom.

[Ali Jackson]

Did not survive her.

[Cindy Overton]

Injuries. The second National Guard member, Staff.

[Ali Jackson]

Sgt. Andrew Wolf, is still in the hospital in critical.

[Cindy Overton]

Condition. Tonight, dozens of troops lined up.

[Ali Jackson]

Outside the chief medical examiner's office in Southwest D.C. as Beckstrom's body was brought.

[Woody Overton]

In. News Force Joseph Omo has the.

[Ali Jackson]

Latest from MedStar Washington Hospital where Beckstrom passed.

[Podcast Co-Host (Snack Segment)]

Away. Amy, good evening. This is the update that people were praying we wouldn't receive. But at around 6:30 this evening, the world learned that a 20 year old soldier from the West Virginia National Guard shot just blocks away from the White House succumbed to her injuries. Just moments ago. A solemn salute as the remains of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom from the West Virginia National Guard are taken away from the hospital where doctors work tirelessly trying to save her.

[Cindy Overton]

Life. They put their lives on the line for people they don't even.

[Podcast Co-Host (Snack Segment)]

Know. It was a shooting in broad daylight that also left another National Guard soldier from West Virginia critically wounded. Andrew Wolf, who tonight is still fighting for his life. Both Andrew and Sarah were among the more than 2,000 troops currently in D.C. as part of President Trump's push to boost law enforcement presence in the city. What a long 24 hours it has been in Washington. We are now able to walk exactly where this horrific scene unfolded just outside of the Farragut West Midway Metro station, which is just steps away from the White House. You can see some people have brought some flowers here, an American flag. It's our understanding from investigators that this was an ambush attack, that the National Guard was standing right around here. The suspect came around from the corner and almost immediately opened fire. And you know, it's not lost on anybody that this is difficult on any day of the year. But the fact that it happened on the eve of Thanksgiving makes the pain that much.

[Cindy Overton]

Greater. Unfortunately, today as most families join together to give thanks for the blessings that have been bestowed upon them, two families are shattered and destroyed and torn apart as a result of the actions of one.

[Woody Overton]

Man. Somebody drove across the country, came.

[Ali Jackson]

To Washington D.C. to attack America and.

[Woody Overton]

That person will be prosecuted to the.

[Podcast Co-Host (Snack Segment)]

Fullest extent of the law. Now, Amy, the suspect is also still in a hospital and he is now expected to face a first degree murder charge. Now that unfortunately, Specialist Becktram has passed Away. Authorities are still trying to figure out the motive here, why the suspect drove from one end of the country to the other to commit this crime. I'm Joseph Omo, News 4. Back to.

[Woody Overton]

You. All right y'. All. And I'm gonna tell you about it. The you know, I don't care who you are and I'm not gonna say this asshole's name much, but I don't care who you are if you attack, I don't care what your political beliefs are. That doesn't affect me one way or another. If you attack a member of our armed forces, which the National Guard is, I was a member of that right? Deployed. They, hey, they don't know anything other than they're following orders for whatever reason they were there. And this dude drove, he's an Afghan national who actually served along with our troops in Afghanistan. And he drove across the country with the sole intent of, of. I mean he did it. He, you know, the gunman was a 29 year old Raula lan Wall and he was previously charged with three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and criminal possession of a weapon because they've upgraded as you heard, to first degree murder charges. And he shot 20 year old Sarah Beckstrom and 24 year old Andrew Wolf. He opened fire without provocation, ambush style and struck one of the victims, leaned over and shot her again before firing at the other National Guard member. Right. It's just animalistic. The, you know, of course she passed and it's. I, I don't know, I mean, you know, him being an Afghan national. The drove from Washington state. Fucking that Washington state to Washington D.C. you can't get any further across the country. And he, he had a.357 Smith and Wesson revolver. Okay. So you got six shots, second most powerful handgun in the world. And you know, afterwards they go and they search his home in Bellingham, Washington and they found numerous electronic devices and you know, I don't know what to say. I mean he came to The United States 2021 under the Biden administration. He applied for asylum, asylum in 2024 and was granted it in April. The, you know, it's just an animal. You never know what, what people's intentions are, but that's pure evil. He's. I'm not going to say his name again. Not going to talk about him again. We have heartfelt love and prayers for everyone that knew these or you and knows these army members, National Guard members who, who were there protecting our capital. And it's just horrible. It's evil. And I don't give a who you are. You shouldn't do that. Yeah, and I mean, that's. I don't know how many hours that is, but I'm. I can assure you I've made that trip. It's. It's well over 20 something hours. So you got to stop and you got hotels on the way and everything else, and the whole time you got murder on your mind. And what did I say? They gonna do it. Some fucking asshole. I'm thankful it wasn't a bomb in a church or, you know, another one of those. But still, it's just, it's. That is a personal war attack. And he didn't do it for. For no reason. He did it because he has a hatred. Even though he applied for asylum, we took him in and you know, allegedly he, you know, fought beside us when we were over there and all that. But he had the evil in his heart, the hatred for America. And that's what it is. It's not against these guard members personally. Hatred for America. And he did what he wanted to do. Now he can burn in hell. So rest in peace and God bless America. And we need. We need peace and love. Not just. Yeah, just did that. For once I'm at a loss for words because I know how long, how much he had to think this out. And he did what he want to do, which is get worldwide attention and show hatred for America. That those people out there that hate us just because we're Americans, literally, and it's wrong. And I don't know, I'm sure they're going to charge them with federal crimes and I know the feds have a death penalty, so. But it is what it is and God bless them. And thank you to all our troops and police officers and firefighters and EMS first responders, everybody who goes out there every day to protect us. So we can not live in a mad house. And they put their life on the line. 23 years old, she's dead.

[Cindy Overton]

Literally. And that's what I wanted to say is like, thank you to the new recruits that still decide to sign up under this type of, you know.

[Woody Overton]

That these that come out and say, it's like when the guy, Charlie Kirk got assassinated, I didn't know who he was. They. I have my son set of strong beliefs. I didn't know who he was the. But you know, evidently he had his own strong set of beliefs. And. And then all these people come out and say hateful things about him after he's assassinated. Right. Hey, I don't give a who you are. The, the, the, the nobody deserves to be.

[Cindy Overton]

Assassinated.

[Woody Overton]

Nobody. And then they got people now saying, oh well, they wouldn't be dead if the President hadn't ordered him and all that. Well, it's, that's not our decision, you know, and if you don't like who's in, in the White House, then, then vote them out. That's why we have the democratic process. And I'm not going to get on this race because y' all know I want to do politics and shit like that. But this makes me so mad. These people come out afterwards now or belittling this girl's life and trying to put the blame on someone else. Yeah. So hey, he pulled the trigger. Yeah, he pulled the trigger to kill an American soldier. American soldiers stood over them, shot him, stood over and shot her again with the second largest caliber for a handgun or used to be in the world, on American soil, in the fucking A block from.

[Podcast Advertiser / Promo Voice]

You. And I have walked right.

[Woody Overton]

There. We've walked right there. We've had dinner in the saloon right around the corner from where this happened. That's the heart of America's.

[Cindy Overton]

Capital. Capital.

[Woody Overton]

Literally. That's.

[Cindy Overton]

War.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. And when they find out who's attached to you better believe they gonna, whatever sleeper cell or whatever he's attached to, we're gonna bring the war back to them as it should be. Yeah, but I'm gonna get off of that. We're 14 minutes in. It just, you know, it's horrible and unfortunately it's gonna happen again and it's going to continue to happen. We're going to get into this Christmas season. There's going to be, there's that are playing it right now as we speak. The next worldwide headline grabbing attention because they're gonna murder somebody that's innocent. Yeah. Anyway, that's enough for me. What you got today? It's time for family.

[Cindy Overton]

Matters. I've got a Thanksgiving story. This family's holiday turned very chaotic after 8 year old's repeated outburst left relatives shaken and divided over how to move forward. A man went to the Reddit community for advice following a Thanksgiving celebration that he said on Reddit spiraled into chaos after his 8 year old nephew repeatedly attacked.

[Woody Overton]

Him. An 8 year old nephew. An 8 year.

[Cindy Overton]

Old. An 8 year.

[Woody Overton]

Old. He explained, you can't, you.

[Podcast Co-Host (Snack Segment)]

Can'T.

[Woody Overton]

I know you can't restrain an 8 year.

[Cindy Overton]

Old. And well, he explained that the boy had a long history of violent outbursts and said these are quote, this is a quote. He has pulled a knife on my mother, beat her with a stick to the point of her being hospitalized, unable to walk, thrown things at her and given her black.

[Woody Overton]

Eyes. The eight year old the eight.

[Cindy Overton]

Year old the uncle said that everything began early in the day as his nephew was jumping on furniture, swearing and hitting him in the head repeatedly. He noted that he asked the the 8 year old to stop several times, adding after telling him repeatedly to knock it off and respect the rules of our house. He just wouldn't listen.

[Woody Overton]

Man. Right, real quick the y', all. I don't know who can't control an 8 year old. Yes, I've seen, you know, little ones that just act so bad. If you can't control your 8 year old you can call the police. They will. It's just like an adult. If an adult was doing all this carnage, you would call the police, call 91 1. They will come out. They will get child protective service whoever they need to be. And the child needs to be committed and locked up so he can't hurt someone. Then so be it. But go.

[Podcast Advertiser / Promo Voice]

Situations According to the man, the behavior escalated as his sister did not intervene the the mother of the son. He described how the child turned his attention to other family members, saying he eventually got worse and attacked my brother, causing him to spill his drink on our carpet. Throughout the meal, he said the boy continued to hit him in the head for more than three.

[Woody Overton]

Hours. Come on man, who the fuck's gonna sit there and get hit in the head for three hours? I'd love this to put this bitch on the.

[Cindy Overton]

Polygraph. The man said both he and his parents attempted to get the child to stop, but nothing.

[Woody Overton]

Worked. 3 hours 3 hours 911 he.

[Cindy Overton]

Shared that he finally warned the boy, telling him he would not be welcome back. I mean come on, he would not be welcome back and we won't give him any presents for Christmas if he continues. But the child persisted when he tried ignoring the behavior, he said the boy still continued to repeatedly come and hit me in the head while eating. The situation came to a breaking point when he attempted to physically remove the child from the area to avoid further escalation. He says, I grabbed him by his shoulders, picked him up and decided to bring him over by my sister. The boy laughed and said this is fun before headbutting his uncle in the face. The man said his sister then misunderstood what she was seeing and yelled at him the man to stop because she thought he was choking her son. He explained that he put the child down but the child then punched him in the face. So then he restrained him and so he couldn't be more violent when told to stop. Then the man was told to stop restraining the child and he loosened his grip and which resulted in the boy punching him more. According to the Post, the nephew continued to swear to swear and yell threats as his sister intervened. The man said the boy said f U uncle whatever the name of the man was like you Uncle Woody and warned next time he sees me I'm dead. The family gathering 8 year old quickly dissolved as his sister took her son home, leaving the rest of the relatives shaken. Then the man also posted the Aftermath was painful both both emotionally and physically. He said. My nose is messed up, I have a bruise on my face from being punched and I have a massive headache. That ibuprofen has not seemed to help. He said his mother blamed him for escalating the situation while he argued with the lack of consequences for the child's actions had enabled the behavior. He described the emotional toll. It was heartbreaking as I spoke. Spent hundreds of dollars, took off of work for the week and planned this for months to make this wonderful for our family. One of his brothers stayed behind afterward because he felt so bad knowing all of the work I put into having it when it was ruined. So there's a lot more discussion.

[Woody Overton]

But what happened to the 8 year.

[Cindy Overton]

Old? So we are still, we still do not know what happened to the eight year old and what, you know, the story does go on to describe like other events of the emotional toll afterwards. But there's nothing that explains what happened to the eight year old, which is scary that there's an eight year old out there doing.

[Woody Overton]

That. That's, I don't believe that, I don't believe that the, that's the last we'll hear from that story. What adults can't restrain an 8 year old or have that done properly. He may, he's, he's posted, he's getting oh, I got a headache and da da, da. Okay, so you're telling the world you got your ass beat by an eight year old and, and he up your Thanksgiving or whatever and.

[Cindy Overton]

Whatever. You're.

[Woody Overton]

Right. So I don't know. You know, let's go to something totally different. You know, people do love money and I like to watch Billy Graham the minister the little shorts on Facebook and today he was talking about idolizing and people put money first and all that stuff. Yeah, we're going to California and this lady liked to put herself first. And she was an executive assistant and she stole more than $8.5 million from her boss's companies and she used the cash to fund a high end lifestyle in san diego. Geez, 8.5 million. How do you not know you're missing 8.5 million? So her name was Ping Jenny Gao of Point Loma, which we've been there. And she pled guilty last Thursday to wire fraud and money laundering. This according to the U.S. department of Justice. Prosecutors said GAL systematically drained four corporate bank accounts tied to her employer, moving the money into accounts she secretly opened in her own name. She then splurged on a $160,000 Porsche and a 2.9 million dollar waterfront home with sweeping views of the San Diego bay and the downtown skyline. And so she takes a plea right federal court and her plea agreement. She admitted using the stolen money to buy the luxury car and the multi million dollar home. And she acknowledged that she moved more than $1 million to her personal accounts. She also confessed to burning through hundreds of thousands of dollars at upscale fashion stores. How the you spend 8.9 million. All right, but we're going to continue. They say they all they called her when her employer noticed the missing money and sued her in San Diego Superior Court. But instead of amid wrongdoing, Gal doubled down and she claimed the plaintiff was a fraud, insisting the real owner of the companies in China had approved every transfer that she made sure they did. And well, she took it a step further and support her false narrative. She paid more than $100,000 to individuals in China to produce fake documents which she then filed in court to fight the preliminary injunction from the companies that are missing 8.9 million. Then later on she admits she lied under oath during a deposition. Yep. Civil matter. Falsely telling lawyers that the corporate accounts were actually her own. Well, the case goes to trial in September 2023. She takes a stand and again she tells all the lies. She claimed the funds came from her personal investments in China and that a company manager was merely helping her move money into the US through underground banks to dodge the Chinese currency controls. This motherfuckers in federal court saying this you don't think they can see. And but throughout the civil case, the superior court issued a series of orders banning or barring Gal from spending, moving or dissipating any of this disputed funds. Let me tell you something. If I had the ability to steal 8 point and the want to so still 8.9 million from someone and you got to know you're going to get called at some.

[Cindy Overton]

Point.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. I could promise you I'm going to have 8 million hidden.

[Cindy Overton]

Somewhere.

[Woody Overton]

Right. I go take my federal time but when I get the fuck out, I'm going to be living fat. Right. But she didn't think that far ahead. Even with those restrictions in place, Gal continued to push money overseas where she's trying to including a 1.6 million wire transfer to a bank in Hong Kong. And guess what? Unless she immediately wired it out to somewhere else under some kind of corporation, it's still the track is there, they can seize it. After she lost the trial and the court's preliminary injunction was made permanent, she still carried out on unloading assets she's not stopping. She sold 160,000 Porsche to CarMax for 75,000, then turned the $70,000 cashiers check from that sale into cash by swapping it with another individual, which was in direct violation of course orders. Authorities estimate that more than 3.29 million of the stolen money has been blown, remains unaccounted for. It's.

[Cindy Overton]

Crazy.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. But she entered a guilty plea on November 13, and at sentencing, she faces a maximum of 30 years in prison on the wirefrier charge and an additional 20 years for concealment money laundering, along with fines of over a half million, which they're never going to. Nobody's gonna see that back. So, public service announcement, whatever the number may be, if you have companies that are worth 8.9 million, you need to have a system of checks and balances in place. Yeah. And you have $8.9 million. Somebody wants it and they will steal it. And they're not too smart. Even though you get away with it for a.

[Cindy Overton]

While.

[Woody Overton]

Right. Get the fuck out of.

[Cindy Overton]

Here.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. The. I mean, I just wanted to double down. Well, it blows my mind that. That people are that stupid, but they're gonna let one person have access to 8.9.

[Cindy Overton]

Million.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. That's like putting a. A dope head inside a dope lab and leaving them all alone with all the dope in the world all around them, expecting they're not going to get high. It's just not going to happen. Right. So there you have.

[Cindy Overton]

It. I'm going to take us to.

[Woody Overton]

Pueblo. Pueblo.

[Cindy Overton]

Colorado.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Beautiful.

[Cindy Overton]

Place. So a Pueblo man was sentenced to. What would you say was that? Am I saying it wrong? Are you making fun of.

[Woody Overton]

Me? I'm just talking. We haven't given them any to say that. I'm being rude and.

[Cindy Overton]

Interrupting. Oh, you want to do that?

[Woody Overton]

Okay. Pueblo. How do you say.

[Cindy Overton]

It?

[Woody Overton]

Pueblo.

[Cindy Overton]

Pueblo. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Wednesday, last Wednesday, for threatening a Denver judge who was overseeing several of the man's criminal.

[Woody Overton]

Cases. Yeah. That's so fucking smart.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. Thomas Warnick, 43 years old, was convicted of three counts of retaliation against a judge, which is a Class 4 felony. He was already serving a deferred sentence for threatening former senator Cory Gardner when he was charged with the new offenses. This is the.

[Woody Overton]

Winner. Yeah, it's funny. I mean. Let me have that worked out for you.

[Cindy Overton]

Homie. The deputy district attorney, Joseph Henriksen. Henriksen said while someone attempts. When someone attempts to intimidate or harm those who serve the public, we will respond with every tool the law provides, he said. This sentence makes clear that violent threats, no matter who makes them, will be met with serious consequences. They need to talk to that 8 year old judge Judith Lobota told the Denver Police Department last year that Warnick was a combat veteran, sent him nine emails between March 5 and March 15 and on March 15, Mr. Warnick sent three emails to the Judicial Division threatening to murder or kill me. His emails left me feeling unsettled and in fear. Since Labuda is a judge in Denver, the case was handled by a special Prosecutor from the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office. In 2020, Warnick was arrested at Fort Carson, the U.S. army installation in Colorado Springs, after the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office said he had threatened to kill several local attorneys, business owners, government officials and every Pueblo county sheriff's deputy. He decided he was going to kill.

[Woody Overton]

Him. He's going to wipe them all.

[Cindy Overton]

Out, blanket it, the sheriff's office said. Deputies served a search warrant on his Pueblo home at the time, and two guns, including a semiautomatic rifle, several knives and hundreds of rounds of ammunitions were found. And when Warnick threatened, threatened Gardner, the the Republican U.S. senator who represented Colorado from 2015 to 2021. He detailed his combat service in an email to the Senator, writing in 2003, I deployed to Iraq. I was blown up by an IED in my Humvee. Was blown up again by a rocket. Weeks later, I suffer every day of my life. I am going to kill Senator Cory Gardner for refusing to help me get medical.

Job.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly. Mr. Warnick's pattern of escalating that threats demanded a strong, decisive response. Our office is committed to ensuring that intimidation has no place in our courts and to protecting those involved in upholding. Upholding the rule of.

[Woody Overton]

Law. Yeah, the. I've been actually been in the courtroom and people have been sentenced and they make threats to the judge and then they. We had to give them another charge and had to come back another day and have hearings and do whatever and they cussing at the judge again. I'm like, you are so.

[Cindy Overton]

Stupid.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. So you hadn't even been sentenced for this one yet and you were telling the judge to eat a bag of dicks and you know you're going to kill them and all that. I'm like you. You do realize you're coming back before this judge to be sentenced for what you just got found guilty of. And now the very person that you is going to give you your sentence and then they have some leeway in it, is going to give you your sentence. Not only are you going to get the maximum, you got any.

[Cindy Overton]

Charge. I know, and I don't understand why he's going after them. I understand. I mean, he's in pain every day and he's suffering and.

[Woody Overton]

He'S. There's millions of vets. Not millions, but there's hundreds of thousands of vets that are suffering. They go about the right way. Yeah. I'm a vet. The. One of my best dear friends has severe PTSD and all that, and he suffers. No doubt about it. He's got a dog and everything else, and he doesn't handle things like normal people do. But he's not killing people or threatening to kill people. And they have help available. Let's go to veterinarian. Veterinary. Go to VA hospital. Look, the VA stuff is so good now. When I was coming up, it just didn't exist that now it's been overhauled. I don't know. I forget which presidents have done it, but it's been overhauled. And they're like, they got good services. And I'm not saying it's perfect, but this guy could have got help. He could have went a different.

[Cindy Overton]

Route.

[Woody Overton]

Exactly.

[Cindy Overton]

Right.

[Woody Overton]

Yep. So. Well, you know, we're.

[Cindy Overton]

Entrepreneurs.

[Woody Overton]

Yes. Right. And. And I always loved and appreciate the entrepreneurial spirit that built America. Yeah, Right, man. And get out. Hey, the dream is free. But the hustle takes muscle and make it happen. If you love it and you want to do it, you get your plan together and grind away and figure out what works and what doesn't work and what have you. So I'm gonna go. We're gonna take it out to Syracuse. And this. I shouldn't be laughing about this, but I'm going to hold one second. Well, they had a guy in the. He was an entrepreneur, no doubt about it. So what. What he did, he wants to be in. He was a rental car employee, all right, at the Syracuse airport. And his name is Milton W. Thompson. He's 31 years old, or he used to work for the rental car company. And guess what he did. He's.

[Cindy Overton]

Entrepreneur. He rented out the rental cars, close without close. On his.

[Woody Overton]

Own. Like, he worked at the Syracuse Hancock International Airport. And he stole 47 vehicles and then rented them out himself. 47.

[Cindy Overton]

40. How are you gonna.

[Woody Overton]

Steal. That's like 8.9.

[Podcast Advertiser / Promo Voice]

Million.

[Woody Overton]

Okay. So he's pretty smart now, this guy is until he wasn't as smart for being a criminal. Anyway, the. The. The airport police say the scheme ran for months and they got a hold of it and they started really investigating back in August that the. This guy was able to steal more than $1 million in vehicles. Okay. The airport police chief, Justin Baum, says the suspect used behind the scenes insider knowledge to remove cars from the airport lots, move them around the city, and then work with others to rent the vehicles to people in the community, kind of like crack liners. And they added, the police saw no clear preference for car maker model. And they publicly urged Thompson to turn himself in. The guy named Joe Kinisky. At road and track reports, police say Thompson is a former Avis Budget employee at the Syracuse airport location. All right. And that's, you know, that's the bane of my existence. I hate rental cars. When I traveled every day, y', all, I had to give one. But some airports, you can walk right out and get them. Some of them, you got to take trains to get them buses, and you got to get back. Do you want to fill up, have it, you know, and I didn't. I would always charge.

[Cindy Overton]

Somebody.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Just a pain in the ass. And you got to get there extra early for TSA and all that to get your car back. But anyway, they said, even though they said he had insider knowledge, said they hadn't disclosed this exact methods. Right. Because I guess I don't want anybody else to do it. But 42 of the 47 vehicles have been Recovered and several other people have been arrested and because and charged with the unlawful use of vehicle while Mr. Thompson, our entrepreneur he still is at large. Right. And of course the police are asking me what anyone with info Thompson to call in and tell them just to surrender. So anyway, there you have it. Takes all kinds to make the world go around that. I mean that's pretty ingenious. I mean you make them minimum wage or whatever you're doing in the. Yeah, I'm just gonna steal 49 vehicles, do what I gotta do paperwork wise and just go run around to my.

[Cindy Overton]

Peeps. How do you do.

[Woody Overton]

That? Oh man, they did it. And. And he. He did it and he got away with it and he's still getting away with it as of this time, you know, so I don't know. That's just the nature of crime and the way it rolls for sure. So it takes all.

[Podcast Advertiser / Promo Voice]

Kinds. So there you have it.

[Woody Overton]

Y'. All. And a little bit ease back in today. Nothing too, too.

[Cindy Overton]

Horrible. Can we go back? Well, we did start off with a very horrible.

[Woody Overton]

One. Well, of course some of the soldiers being.

[Cindy Overton]

Murdered. Yes. And then I. I just can't. I don't understand that eight year old thing. I just. It has to be that man just making it much worse than what I.

[Woody Overton]

Think. We've already given him way too much brain space. Okay. He's just falling on. My daddy used to say, well, I forget stuff a lot because I have so much intelligent stuff in my head. I. I forget the dumb. So yeah, I'm forget about that guy and never talk about him.

[Cindy Overton]

Again. I forget the intelligent stuff and remember the dumb.

[Woody Overton]

Stuff. They for him to even put that on social media. That 8 year old whipped his.

[Cindy Overton]

Ass. Sounds like a.

[Woody Overton]

Pizza. Exactly. Yeah. Is what it is. We love and appreciate each and every one of y'. All. Thank you so much for liking listening and sharing and helping us continue to grow and hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for ao. Hashtag just miss Barbara Blunt, y'. All, Believe it or not, I still get tips. And in one day it's going to be the right one. That boy can bring it beyond a reasonable doubt, unfortunately. Hashtag justice for Haley. You know, when Ms. Barber contacted me about Haley's case in the in the very beginning that they had no hope and Clear was already in jail and I flew to Atlanta and met with him the first time etc. And we worked it for a long time and I really, really, really thought, well, you know, at least Haley's story has been told. And I'm going to get Ms. Barbara on. Let her say it in her own words. And she recorded phone conversation with the DA's supposedly. Maybe some of it got lost, I don't know. But the. It's horrible. It's. I think it's an injustice. Yes. I think it's. It's political shit. Yes. And I'm not ashamed to say that I'm somewhat embarrassed of myself because I've been holding on for all these months because I listened to her. Her recording, and she didn't know she was being recorded. Listen to her recording. Promising. Promising that family that she was going to put her top investigator on it and all that. And I kept trying to hold lifers at bay, say, hey, y' all just give them some time. You. No news is good news. Well, it wasn't. And they. They just flatly it up. How about that? And so I'll let Ms. Barbara tell you about it. But the Haley, at least she's known around the world now and her story's told and hopefully it'll stop somebody else's story from. Yeah, Ms. Barbara wanted her story told. Yeah, we did that. Haley got news coverage and she made it all the way up to the new D A. And you know, she never even heard of the case. Etc. She's a lying. And we will do a call to action to burn them down after Ms. Barbara talks about you. You know, you're an old cop. That's another thing. I want to believe in her because she was a.

[Cindy Overton]

Cop. That's.

[Woody Overton]

Right. She was a detective. And. And she just. You know, they post all this goody tissue, you know, on their. On their website. And actually they turned off comments because of lifers. Lifers are blowing it up. But you. They have nothing. They haven't felt the pain.

[Podcast Advertiser / Promo Voice]

Yet. And it's not gonna change anything. We're not.

[Woody Overton]

Going. They're not going diet. There's no doubt about it. And we'll have to wait years until another DA gets in and, you know, we can try again and hopefully we can do it. But, you know, I don't know. Brooks clear. He can go himself. And I hate it from a sparrow. And I hate it for. For Stella and. And. And all that. So. Yeah. Anyway, love y'. All. Thank you. You got anything.

[Cindy Overton]

Else? B. I was just gonna. I wanted to add that. That just, you know, your belief in her. Because you do bleed blue.

[Woody Overton]

Like.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. Do you know.

[Woody Overton]

You. I believed. I believed. I believed and until I didn't. And you know what? I get it wrong too, that I shouldn't have believed so much. But that da's gotta live with herself. And after these lifers, after they hear Ms. Barbara, what she told Ms. Barbara and the lifers, y' all have free reign. Burn their up and that's. That's on them. I'm not telling you what to do. If you're so inclined, you call them and you tell them exactly how you.

[Podcast Advertiser / Promo Voice]

Feel.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. And they can block you on whatever. There's always another way. Emails, phone calls. I'm not telling you to do it, but swim probably is going to have. Oh, yeah, his burning.

[Cindy Overton]

Up.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. So. All right. I said I'm Woody.

[Cindy Overton]

Overton. Cindy.
