He killed himself and his two his two sons by setting fire to their home in Washington. The two boys were under the care of Susan Powell's parents. And however, the boys were visiting Josh Powell with a social worker when this incident occurred. This was the devastating end to an investigation that began back in December of 2009 when Susan disappeared. Oh, hella jail boy. And I mean that. I, I know y' all are pretty familiar with that case, but the you get court supervised visitation. He had it on his mind, right. He's gonna kill his boys and and himself.

You shuffle off this mortal plane, if you will. I'm going to address one thing real quick and not a full episode but just evidently Bradley's mama, Tony James. Tony whatever name she goes by now I don't know Bradley's biological mother. Oh my God. If I could just tell you what I know but the she has done everything in this case from whatever to whatever but the latest and the greatest the and I want to address this and and she has put out a post. Let me see if I can find it. She put out a post that Bradley was just seen alive in Tennessee. Now that is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard of in the entire history of my life. But but I'm read to you all right, Check this out. Somebody sent me actually several people sent it to me. The evidently they have a new private group about Bradley. Gloves off criminal conversations because they shut down the other criminal conversations because it went to shit. Not the administrator's fault, just people acting stupid. So they started somebody started a new one and the with Mr. Brian Wallace. This is a screenshot of him saying what are yalls thoughts on this? Now Brian Wallace keep in mind is the same one who said did did a post 1 whatever page burning parish page saying haha Woody's gone. If you know, you know or whatever. Well Brian Wallace you I'm not gone but this this post was done by Tony James, Bradley's mom. It says in light of new information if you have friends or family in Tennessee please ask them to share this thank you in advance. Now she doesn't say that you know somebody called in and said they saw Bradley in Tennessee, but she was hinting at that, right? And then it has Bradley's missing poster. Bradley Strasner has him in his cowboy hat. Missing Leeville, Louisiana Last seen 10-30-2019 Age now 35 Height 510 but whatever the fuck right? And then gives a little better about a story and it has the Vernon Parish Sheriff's office number on there and all that. All right? And the case file number Even case number1901631.
D
If you think first of all.
C
Ms. Tony and Brian Wallace we have tens of thousands of listeners in Tennessee that already know about this case. If not way more than that. I'm guesstimating it Might be a million. I don't know. But we have a ton of people all across the great state of Tennessee. But you're going to put this post out there that hints. I'm going to read it again.
D
In light of new information, if you.
C
Have friends and family in Tennessee, please ask them to share this. Thank you in advance. If Bradley Strasner is in Tennessee, this implies so many things. This implies that she and I already know that she sent Bradley to get her dope that day. That. That's reported to me by. I already know what was reported to me. I can't say because I wasn't there. Right. But I know what was for me was that she sent Bradley to Jason and Danielle's to. To sell whatever kind of medication she had for the money. All right? Bradley wasn't rolling with it. Y' all in the money. So this absurdity that. That even the. The Vance put out, that Bradley likes to hide in the woods and he had a warrant and he's just hiding whatever, that's absurd. Seven years after the fact, you're going to come up with this and the. Now you're going to throw another red herring out there, if you will, and say, hint around. Look, in light of new information we got, if you have friends and family in Tennessee, share it with them. And here's his picture and everything else. Okay? I'm gonna do this. I. Cindy's gonna ship when I do this. I'm offering if anybody in Tennessee. No, Bradley, if you. If you're on the run, sir, because of your warrants, and you're alive, and I know that if. Right.
D
Whatever.
C
Frogs. Ass was made of glass and it broke every time he hopped. Right? If. Or what if the. Bradley, if you've been listening to this all along and you come home, I not only will pay for whatever lawyers fees you need, I will give you $1 million cash. I don't care. I got to sell land. I got to do whatever I got to do. You know what? I'm going to give you $10 million cash. I'm making that statement right now. Bradley Straer, if you. This whole thing's been a scam, and you've been on the run, and. And you're hiding out, maybe you got a new family, you got your life straight or whatever, I'm gonna give you $10 million. You show up in the state of Louisiana, and you show up alive in the state of Louisiana, and you just been on the run all this time. $10 million, Bradley. That's. That's Personal offer from Woodrow Leo over to Junior to you. I don't care how I have to get the money. You come on home, sir. I'mma make you a millionaire ten times over, y'. All. I have just about as much chance of losing that $10 million, which would be a victory if he did come home. That'd be great, but it's not going to happen. I have just as much chance losing that $10 million as I do of right now at this very second. My whole body self combusting and blowing up in flames didn't happen. And nobody saw Bradley in Tennessee because he ain't in Tennessee. And you throw all the red herrings and try to throw the dogs off the trail in the center if you want to. Woody Overton is never getting off of it in your ass. One day, the bad people that are involved, you're going to get. You're going to Angola, and it won't be because of that's getting like this. And it's just ludicrous. It's ridiculous and ludicrous. Right? So I don't know. All right, let's get down to true crime. Time for I'm sorry to get off on that rant, y'.

Hey, but you know what? It's my birthday. It's my party. I cry if I want to. Matter of fact, I think I'm drinking beer. So let's go. What do we want to do with Rose birthday? Normally, I have a severe hangover on my birthday. I can say that without a doubt. The worst hangovers I've ever had in my life. I've always been on my birthday and my daddy who died last year, this will be the one. That first time in my life I didn't get either a phone call or whatever or have my daddy sing Happy Birthday to me. But I always call early in the morning with my mom and they'd sing Happy Birthday once we got answer machines. And then it transferred to cell phones and whatever. And I still have his phone calls from the last four years where he sang me Happy Birthday. But, like, we were in Vegas one time, not just celebrating my birthday, but doing something else. And just probably the worst hangover I ever had in my life. And there were times that my parents called me on my birthday and I would wake up late that evening and I would call them like, I'm sorry if I missed your call. I didn't. And they were like, you don't remember talking to us this morning, 9 o'? Clock? I'm like, no, Must have still Been hammer. Right. So anyway. All right, I'll tell you, this is not even, I mean back in the day it would have been a dumb criminal story. The, this just, I mean takes, really takes all kinds to make the world go around. But if you're going to break into a police department and steal something, especially if you're going to break in and steal a uniform at first of all I don't know what the, the purpose of that would be, but because you're not a cop. Right. Well, let's just go to New York City. All right. And they said a daring ding a ling snuck into an NYPD precinct, stole a police uniform and walked out the door unnoticed while wearing it on Monday. Okay, how in the do you get back to. I mean we didn't have locker rooms and shit like that where we got dressed at every day in my day in any departments I was at, but somebody did it. And Timothy Adams, 37, he was found a day later passed out in the nearby Clinton Houses New York cha building. Guess what y'. All. You know why they found him? Because he was still wearing the stolen police uniform and he's passed out. Which led a good, a concerned good Samaritan to call 911 to report an unconscious cop. Right. Officer down. Officer down. Well, officers responded and they found the defendant passed out in the NYCHA building that he didn't live in. And this according to Megan Versary who's an assistant district attorney for Manhattan. He said he's still wearing the same NYPD uniform. And the, the alleged post plunder nap led Adam to Adam's arrest and arraignment last Wednesday on burglary, larceny and criminal trespassing charges in a Manhattan criminal court. Now Adams, who is a homeless crook with a mile long rap sheet, frequent plier that includes three felony and 23 misdemeanor convictions. Y', all, this not arrest convictions. They said he is no stranger to allegedly stealing police property. This, this is. He gets off on it. Right. He was convicted in 2021 of breaking into an NYPD vehicle and stealing an emergency service unit vest, a baton and live ammunition. I'm pretty sure you're going to jail, buddy. They're not going to, they're not going to give it up till they got you. But the arraignment unfolded with Adams wearing ill fitting clothes and rambling to his public defender as Versary detailed the fresh accusations that he walked into a secure area. Must not have been too secure. Policy procedure is going to get changed. He walked into the secure area in the 23rd Precinct building along east and 102nd Street. I hate, I hate that for that commander that's over that precinct his ass again. He's. He's ruined, right? If you're. Even though he didn't have anything to do with it, the. The bucks gonna stop with him. But they said video surveillance showed Adams walk right past two signs which read authorized personnel only. And he walks into an administrative Office at about 5:40am and how Adams was able to walk into the precinct remain unclear. And they said they usually have station house security and you're supposed to be greeted by someone when you walk in. Well, 5:40am Maybe they're taking a shit or outside having a smoke. I don't know that they won't be doing it next time. So Adams goes inside and he goes inside an office and he takes a uniform, flex cuffs, keys, police documents and everything else that he could carry. And they said he is caught on video Entering the 23rd Precinct, walking past authorized access gate and subsequently exiting the precinct while wearing a uniform and holding a blue bag. And they got his picture. So the heist was ultimately fold Wednesday at about 8:30pm when the 911 caller reported finding Adams unconscious instead of that building I told y' all about at Lexington Avenue and 108th street, which was about six blocks from the precinct. Adams, they like show up and they wake him up like, we know this motherfucker Santa Popo. But they, they wake him up and they arrest him. And he said, I took everything from the 23rd Precinct. Just admits it. The this court of court documents and the hearing pulled double duty as an arraignment for separate laws in a case in which Adams stole 2.2. Listen to this. Some criminal. I mean, I would like to think if I was going to be a criminal, I want to aspire to be the best criminal I could be. This idiot steals a copy uniform for no reason, just because he could. But then they arrest him and he goes in. He hadn't even been arraigned on another charge where he stole $2.45 from a tip jar inside a business along Madison avenue back on January 6th. And the prosecutor said Adams, who has pled guilty to attempted burglary and attempted robbery in several open court cases, committed the NYPD theft while waiting sentence on another case. Because he's not going to stop. That's why we build jails. And his criminal record stretches back to February 2002. A whopper 24 years ago, when he was arrested for criminal mischief and Making graffiti and his bond set at $10,000. Smart criminals. No, it's my birthday. Y' all listen to this. Tell me what noise you can guess if you can type in the message just what noise this is, we might send you some swag or something. You got to reach deep because you love yourself. All right, here's the noise.
D
All right.
C
And then this noise pulling one out to Koozie and putting another one in. All right, So I guess I'm gonna try to keep it light hearted today. And if you get this noises, you might get a double prize. Good. All right, back to the meat of the matter, which is true crime time stories for today. Oh, Lord. Beast mode. Foreign it's time for family matters. Yeah, I'm tell you something. The like PTSD dogs and shit and support dogs, most support dogs, I don't care what you think you know or, or don't know about it or whatever, but I can tell you it's a very real deal. And not only do some of our English springer spaniels that we raise or used to breed and raise the. They went all across, shipped all across the country, and a couple of them were shipped out to be support dogs trained as PTSD dogs, whatever you call it. One of my best friends and my brother from another mother has a PTSD dog. And, and, and unfortunately one of them just passed away in the last couple months and what a sweetheart or dog that was. But that's like, you know, I guess, I guess different people does different things. You know, my buddy, when he can be having a moment from. That's left over from the war in Iraq, and, and then he has a moment, he's trained to go sit with this dog and it calms him down. It really works. So I get it. But this story, well, oh, I could actually even go one more. It's time for worldwide crime.

Three for beast mode, Worldwide Crime and Family Matters. And it said a heartbroken British dog owner saw red and stabbed her estranged husband after he told her that he euthanized her two cherished rescue Dutch hounds. Right? So Claire Bridger, who's 64, stood trial for attempted murder after stabbing her husband of nearly 40 years.

I'm not big on New Year's resolutions and I don't sit around making promises myself I'm not going to keep. But I do believe in starting the year doing things right. That means sleeping when I can, eating decent, staying active and paying attention when something feels off. And for a lot of people, especially women, feeling tired or foggy at the start of the year gets written off as stress or burnout when low iron can actually be part of the problem. Iron deficiency affects one in three adults and the symptoms don't always jump out at you. It can show up as constant fatigue, even when you're sleeping enough, brain fog or trouble concentrating, frequent headaches, irritability or brittle nails and hair breakage. When iron levels are low, your body has to work harder to deliver oxygen and that can impact your energy, focus.

Mood and physical performance.

An iron deficiency can exist long before anything turns into anemia, which means you can feel it well before it shows up on paper. That's why I recommend Sideeral from Pharman Nutra. Citrol is a premium iron supplement powered by the patented Sucrosomia technology. This technology helps your body absorb iron three to four times more effectively than standard iron supplements without the common stomach issues people complain about, like nausea and constipation. It's clinically proven to be comparable to IV iron and and it's made with just two main ingredients, 30 milligrams of sucrosomil iron and vitamin C in a convenient once a day capsule. You can take any time, with or without food. Sideroll is backed by 20 years of research, 150 plus clinical studies, and is trusted by more than 2 million people worldwide. It's the number one supplement brand in Italy and is used in over 90 countries. If you're starting the year and you're still feeling tired or foggy despite doing the right things, you're not alone and this might be the support your body needs.

And this name is Keith Bridger. She stabbed him in the chest and the abdomen during a visit to his Norfolk home on July 17, 2025, after he told her he had put down their pups. And it's according to the Mirror, a fur baby lover too. And holy see. Claire, who's a registered school nurse, testified in Norwich Crown Court earlier this month that she struggled to cope with the separation in the months leading up to attack and was prescribed medication. She took time off work and was pushed over the edge when she discovered the dogs were dead. She told the court that she suffered temporary amnesia due to a combination of stress and alcohol and that she saw red after learning the couple's dosh hounds had been put to sleep. The mother too said she never intended to kill Keith, but she admitted she intended to cause him some harm. Prosecutors said the couple adopted one rescue dog in March of 2020, shortly before the COVID 19 lockdown, and another one approximately a year later. And a stabbing occurred about a year after the couple had separated. And then guess what? Keith had custody of the dogs. However, after the breakup, Keith was unable to keep the pets and he's described them as having behavioral issues at his one bedroom home. And after failed attempts to re home them, he decided to have them put down. I can hear y' all out there screaming now if it happened. You give the rescue dogs and the, I mean they sent them, a lot of them they'll send to these shelters and my mama has two. They used to have all grand national champion boxers in their younger years and now after the last one of those died, they went and rescued two labs and they're not, they don't have papers or anything. One's black and one's white and they love them more than anything, right? And they, a lot of the shelters were trained these dogs to be PTSD dogs, et cetera. But dude, Keith, somebody was took the dogs and but unfortunately he didn't do that and he had them put down. So Claire said one of her daughters urged her to return home. She warning them that the dogs would otherwise have to be put down because they were difficult to care for. And Keith ultimately decided to euthanize the pups. Look, I Guess some dogs can be shitheads, but you don't have to kill them. Said I thought it was nonsense. I thought that they would never put the dogs down no matter what. Claire told the court there was no need. I thought it was a demand to make me come home. Now, Claire recalled knowing something was wrong the moment she arrived at her estranged husband's home on the day of the attack. She said, I just suddenly thought, I can't hear the dogs because they were yappy. Keith had just returned from a motorcycle ride when she confronted him and demanded to know where the dash hounds were. I shouted, where are the dogs? And he didn't answer me, she recalled. He was taking his helmet off and I beat my horn and shouted again, where are the dogs? He didn't answer, and she said again, where are the dogs? And she said after asking the third time, that's when she started to feel a little bit anxious. She told the court, that was when he turned around, faced me in the car, and he said, you know where the dogs are. The vets wrote to you. I said, I had a text from the vets and he said, you know what happened to the dogs? The dogs are dead. I had them put down.
D
Stricken by grief, Claire said realizing the.
C
Dogs had been euthanized felt like an explosion in my head. And she remembers stepping out of her car before blacking out. I don't know what happened to me. I would never have intentionally tried to hurt Keith, let alone try to kill him, she told the court. She said her next memory was a neighbor dragging her off her husband. Now, prosecutors said Claire was screaming, he killed my dogs when the police arrived, adding that, I just saw red. Keith, who was still attending meditation sessions with his wife at the time, was treated for life threatening injuries at the scene. And Claire told the court the knife was in her car because it was bent and had been placed in a bag of garbage and she was going to take it to the local dump. Claire, I might be calling a little bullshit on that one. Then you went over there with a knife and it got bent after you stabbed him and it hit a bone. Who in the carries a knife with a bent tip in it just to go throw it in the dump, all right, put it in a trash can. So anyway, she said, the knife fell out of the bag and beside the driver's seat, so she tossed it onto the front passenger seat. I'm calling bullshit on that. McLaren. Keith told the court he had not told his wife the pups were euthanized, but said he believed she already knew after unsuccessful attempts to rehome them. He recalled her becoming almost hysterical when he told her moments before the attack. Now, following a five day trial, the jury unanimously found the mother of two not guilty of of attempted murder. But they convicted her of wounding with intent and she's scheduled to be sentenced to more. Well, there you have it. Don't tell your ex that you had the dogs euthanized because you couldn't handle them. That's kind of a fucked up story all the way around. So there you have it. It's time for family matters. All right, y'. All, we're going to northeast Houston, Texas. And police believe a woman was gunned down at a northeast Houston storage unit back in November because her common law husband had ripped off a drug buyer. This court of court documents. So Kip Stitz of Detroit was charged with murder Friday in connection with 33 year old Sherry Dawson's death. But he hadn't been apprehended yet. Police say he's a former friend and business associate of Dawson's common law husband who admitted to being involved in drug trafficking. Investigators say surveillance video shows a pickup truck following Dawson into a storage unit along the East X East Tex Freeway the morning of November 5th. Detectives say she's seen falling down, fighting with the suspect, then standing up and falling down again as the suspect drives off. Now, the same day Dawson's husband told police about Stitz. And according to the court documents, he said he had introduced Stitz to a cocaine supplier. When Stitz told him he was planning to rob the supplier, Dawson's husband and the supplier hatched a plan to steal from Stitz his court of court documents. Police say Dawson's husband told them stitz paid him $125,000 cash for a shipment of cocaine about a month before the murder. But the drugs were never delivered. So he got ripped off. Right. Dawson's husband told police that about two weeks before the murder, he got word that Stitz was looking for him and that he believes, believes his wife was killed because of the money he stole from Stitz.
D
Hours after the murder, police pulled over.
C
Another vehicle registered Stis in Texas. But Stitz wasn't in the vehicle and investigators say his phone began pinging in Detroit the next day. News flash. Look, y', all, when you go to South Texas Natural S for one of the largest entry reports for illegal narcotics, right? And the when you get south of Houston, you get to a certain point, I think it's like 25 miles outside of these border towns, which Laredo or Cindy's from in or Brownsville or wherever the. They have border patrol checkpoints and they are looking for illegal people that are. They're illegal and they're looking for dope. That's all they do. And. But then you got. Once you pass that line, you still got a long ass ways to go before you get to Laredo or Brownsville or wherever Nogales, wherever it is that you're to going one in the. But so the cocaine that gets smuggled across the border is cheap as hell when you're in Laredo, right? Probably like 8,000 a key. You get it past that first border patrol checkpoint, it jumps up to like, I don't know, $15,000 key. And I'm picking some numbers, y', all. But you get to Houston and that's where you got all the major interstates and they proven the. The drug running routes and everything else. You get to Houston and it goes up even more. Then this guy's coming down from Detroit. He may get it in Houston for 17 a key. He's taking it to Detroit and He's selling for 30 a key. They'll step on and put baby milk in there. Whatever it may be, baby, to cut it up. Step on it. They cut it up to make it. You still get high. You don't get as high as you were if it was pure cocaine. But you get out there, you can sell it for $35,000 key. So this guy listen to you. If you're going to rip off, basically rip it off the cartel. If you're doing it, you're going to rip them off. They're going to make somebody pay for it. And unfortunately, this guy's wife paid for it. All right. And for $125,000, she be dead. Are y'. All. We're actually going to play a video for you now. Going down to Florida and tell you about a death penalty case.
E
The man accused of killing a former city commissioner and her husband has handed down a death sentence. Here a judge today cementing what a jury handed down during Marcel Waldron's 2024 trial. His defense claims he has an intellectual disability. However, the court did not find that the evidence supported that argument. Prosecutors say Walden stabbed Edith and David Henderson to death in their home before stealing their car and jewelry. They were found the next morning and Walden was arrested later that day.
C
All right, I'm gonna tell you the story. And there you go. Florida, we know it has the death penalty and we know they're not afraid to use it. I actually think they're leading the nation this year and executing people. But yeah, you do. You stab a husband and wife. They're probably my age, y'. All, I'm looking at the photos and I mean, saying they were brutally stabbed, that just doesn't do justice to it. I mean, anytime you get stabbed, it's brutal. But these people were brutally murdered. And just so you could steal their. Not their, but their that they worked for their entire life. Once you get a job, well, now you're going to have one. You're going to be on death row and I, I'll probably be dead before they get you. But if it, if they prove beyond a reasonable doubt, you deserve exactly what you got coming. All right, y' all do. Uno Moss. Uno Moss. Tampa. And on January 9, 2026, Andrew Ridgeway pleaded no contest to secondary murder and tampering and fabricating with physical evidence. He was then found guilty. Right. So going to Auburndale, Florida, and they said a man was sentenced to 35 years in state prison after he brutally. There's my word. And savagely attacked and murdered his girlfriend in Auburndale and his court and court records. On January 9, 2026, Andrew Woodray withdrew his not guilty plea and pled guilty or pled no contest, which just means he can't be sued. But same thing as guilty, pled no contest to the second degree murder and tampering and fabricating with physical evidence. The case began as a missing person report for the 48 year old Stacy Powell on February 6th of 2025. So almost a year ago today, y'. All. At the time, the Auburndale police said they received reports that she had not logged onto her work computer since February 4, which would have been yesterday, a year ago. Officers went to Powell's house on Aleria Court to find a handyman working to remodel the cabinets. During this time, Ridgeway saw the police on the home surveillance cameras and called the handyman to ask, hey, why are the police there? Well, Auburndale Police Chief Terry Story previously explained that an officer took the phone and spoke with Ridgeway. He told police he was in North Carolina with Powell's grandmother. Police said he also told them Powell had taken an Uber to the airport on February 5, one year ago today to fly to Jamaica to be with her sick father. Well, you don't think the cops are going to look into that, homie, Guess what? Investigators said they were quickly able to identify that Ridgeway wasn't telling the truth about any of their whereabouts. According to story, Pal's father had been living in North Carolina while her grandmother was living in Auburndale. Police eventually returned to Powell's home to conduct a search warrant and voila. That handyman's in there working and everything. Guess what, y'. All. Her body's inside the house. Crime scene text called out from the Avondale Police Department and the Pope County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Grady Judge. Hey, I saw some bullshit somebody put on Facebook today about Grady Judge is involved in the Epstein. The sheriff is involved in the Epstein.

Shit.

Come on, man. Anyway, whatever. But it's Polk county and there they worked the scene through the night that leaving no stone unturned. They did what they do and they said because Powell's body was. So here we go again. Brutally attacked. Medical examiners were not able to make a positive ID until days after this. According to the police chief. Y', all, that means your face has to be smashed to be non recognizable, right? I don't know if they did it by fingerprints. I've seen the dead. We've had to roll dead hands to try to identify victims. That still works. I'm sure it wasn't DNA but. And couldn't make an ID until days after brutally attacked. So. I don't know. There. There you have it. I mean you gotta lie to the popo and just hope they're a bunch of dumb asses and are not going to do their jobs and just going to be. Hey, it's okay. You know what? I'm in North Carolina. He hadn't. He hasn't. Let me check that and make sure. I forgot to tell you all this. So y', all. They said Ridgeway was eventually found and arrested in Augusta, Georgia. Mr. Ridgeway is an animal and he should be thankful that he's not going to catch the ultimate punishment. Right. There you have it. Got nothing else. I love and appreciate each and every one of y'.
