Time for Taco Tuesday.

[Cindy Overton]

Taco Tuesday worldwide.

[Woody Overton]

So what do you have? It's time for worldwide crime.

[Cindy Overton]

We're going to start off in good old Halifax, England.

[Woody Overton]

Okay. And shout out to our lifers over in England and the UK, that's right.

[Cindy Overton]

We have a 30 year old man who's been sentenced to 15 years in prison after he was convicted of luring a woman to an isolated car park. And that's where he drugged her and Raped her. The defendant, Akash ibra, formerly of Paddock Lane in Halifax, but was at the time of trial listed as not having any address, was found guilty of rape by a jury at Preston Crown court earlier in 2025. The sentence was imposed on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, after a judge determined he was a dangerous offender. Prosecutors told the court that In June of 2023, Ibrahim lured the victim to a car park on an isolated road in Clevenger, Lancashire, under false pretenses. And once there, he drugged the woman and then sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious. That's all. According to police documents and court records, he was arrested following a police investigation and subsequently charged with rape. He denied the offense during legal proceedings, but the jury unanimously found him guilty. At sentencing, the Judge ordered that Ibra serve 10 years of immediate custody, followed by an additional five years of extended license, meaning he will remain under supervision after release. So, like parole, under UK law, he must serve at least two thirds of the custodial term before becoming eligible for parole hearings. Well, hopefully it's better than day for day, right? Yeah, I mean, well, not quite. I mean it's just.

[Woody Overton]

But still shitty either way.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, during the victim.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

During the sentencing hearing, the victim read a powerful impact statement describing the trauma she experienced, including her struggle now with psychological problems of the assault and ongoing efforts to cope with its effects. And Detective Constable Sam Holland, representing the East Rape and Serious Sexual Offense Team, told reporters that IBRA presented a clear risk to women due to his abhorrent views and behaviors, emphasizing that he had isolated, drugged and raped the victim before sending her a normal sounded message following that the following day. So he obviously contacted her the following day and I don't have any information.

[Woody Overton]

They do that. Yeah, I told. Talked about it before. Some of them do it, they feel like they're dating them afterwards. So, you know, and they're twisted. Sick fuck mind. That's where they go, you know, and yeah, we do this crime stories every day and we can't emphasize enough that these are real people.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

These aren't just stories. No, these are real lives that are shattered and horrible things that are done.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And just like this one I'm about to tell you about, it's time for family matters. Well, it's. It's the playoff season, NFL games. I didn't watch any this weekend. Didn't too busy and didn't watch them. But it's serious to a lot of people. Yeah, I mean it's like your team makes it to the, to the wild card Playoffs and holy smokes, you know. Right.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Well we're gonna go out to our favorite sheriff in Florida.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

Sheriff Grady Judd. So we're going to go out to Pinellas County, Florida and they have a clip on this video clip but most of it is is in captions. It's a horrible story. So they have a single mom. I had a single mom named Crystal Ruri and like you, she mama bears and she's very, very protective of her children. Right. So she started dating this dude she met at church.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

So it's a handsome man.

[Mood.com and BetterHelp Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And it's a church. But she didn't do some to their kids right away.

[Cindy Overton]

Supposed to do.

[Woody Overton]

Right. So in fact she waited until they had dated for a full year before.

[Cindy Overton]

He met the kids they recommend to.

[Woody Overton]

And her sister said she took her time. Her sister's name, Stephanie and this Courtney USA Today said she did have a happy glow that I haven't seen in a long time. My sister trusted him and fell in love with him. She finally found her happy ever after. But on December 22, just two years after Crystal married Jason Kenny, he killed her and shot her 13 year old daughter in the face in their Florida home. Why, you may ask, all over an argument about watching a football game three days before Christmas. And this according to the Polk County Sheriff's office. And then later on he took the way out and he shot himself. So you know, of course this took place during the summer holidays and it said the crime shocked the nation. They said the 13 year old begged not to be shot. Please don't shoot me. Please don't shoot me. This court of hope County Sheriff Grady Judd and guess what? He shot her twice. Now Crystal's family of course is reeling from grief and shock and they told USA Today how she used her final moments alive to save her children. So do Taylor. But by Crystal. From early age, Crystal Rua showed ambition and commitment to hard work. And her sister Stephanie remembers how Crystal did well in school and thrived. And when she got her first job at TGI Fridays as a teenager, she quickly moved up from host to server. Right. So what set her apart from others? Well, she didn't just work for a paycheck. She worked for the experience. She worked for the knowledge. She worked to prove herself and she was able to do things and not give up. But when she became a mom at the age of 25, everything she did from that moment on was for her children. She worked harder and longer and sometimes she was superwoman. She managed to hold down a full time job and be a full time mother. Though Crystal had to juggle work and the kids all while being single, she didn't miss a single school functional or award ceremony or field trip. She also managed to buy a small house all on her own. Because she was a smart woman, her children were her world. She worked hard for them to provide for them and she protected them. They came first before anything. Early in the relationship, Facebook photos showed the pair, Crystal and Kenny smiling and kissing each other and selfies and others showed them and the kids looking like a picture perfect family posing in front of a Christmas tree and at a baseball game. But sometime after they married on November 4th of 2023, the sister Stephanie said my sister lost that glow, she had said first. Stephanie chalked up the change to the fact that Crystal became pregnant with her third child pretty quickly after the wedding. Said I remember asking her are you okay? And she said yeah, it's just pregnancy was really kicking her butt because she was much older. The Stephanie said she always had an feeling about Kenny. She thought her sister was happy and safe. That's until she got the worst phone call of her life. So Crystal and her three kids spent the evening December 22nd by the Christmas tree at their home in Highland City which is just east of Tampa. Meanwhile, Kenny was in the shed drinking and watching Monday Night football until around 11pm According to Sheriff Judd. Then Kenny goes inside the house and he wanted to continue watching the game and a fight ensued and it became so scary that Crystal told her 12 year old son to run to a neighbor's house and call 91 1. As the boy ran out he heard the first gunshot. Well they called 911 and the deputies responded and they found Crystal dead inside and her and inside her 13 year old daughter shot in the face and the shoulder and Jason Kenney was gone. They also found a letter Crystal wrote to her husband telling him you're drinking, you're using cocaine again. This is not the way the family should be. You need God now. The one year old daughter the couple shared was unharmed and the 13 year old survived the gunshot wound after the bullet hit the bridge of her nose and deflected through the top of her head. After shooting his wife and stepdaughter, Kenny drove his truck to his late father's home and called his sister to say he had done something very bad and that was the last time they would ever talk.

[Cindy Overton]

My gosh.

[Woody Overton]

Deputies tracked Kenny down to shed on his father's property. When they called for him to come out they heard a single gunshot and of course they made entry and they found Kenny dead inside, judge said. Sheriff Judd said that a relative told deputies that Kenny had been beaten on Crystal for a while, though the sheriff's office had no records of, you know, any calls, the domestics or otherwise from there. And then Jason Kenny had no criminal history, but he absolutely destroyed a family, sheriff said. When you go in there, there's a beautiful Christmas tree, lots of Christmas presents on the tree, just like the nuclear family should be. And it ends up this way.

[Woody Overton]

Well, Crystal's family is leaning on each other as they absorb the shock of her murder and they're raising funds for the children. And Crystal's 13 year old daughter they said is doing well in her recovery. And it really is a miracle that the bullet missed every major thing.

[Cindy Overton]

Wow.

[Woody Overton]

Right? Yes. So as for any abuse leading up to the tragedy, the sister said it's possible but she wasn't aware of any said after they were married. I know she said he was drinking a lot more, but she said that he was going to stop and he said he would get help with it. Obviously that didn't happen. And she added that when she went over to visit, Kenny would sit outside the shed playing games on his phone and smoking cigarettes. She said if there was abuse happening, he must have scared her to the point not to say or do anything because the type of person my sister was, she would have left at the first sight of trouble because she would protect her kids. That's a question we'll never have answers to. So it just, she goes on and talks about that she's angry that Kenny killed her sister and tried to kill her niece, but that she's so proud of Crystal and her nephew's actions that night. So my sister died a hero for protecting her children and getting my nephew out of the house to make the 911 call. She did that. She saved their lives. Their lives. And by doing so, my nephew saved his sister's life. And thank God the baby was untouched. So the, and then just going on, you know, it's horrible.

[Cindy Overton]

Like you said, that's real people, Real people.

[Woody Overton]

And that girl being shot in the bridge of her nose and going up the top of her head. She's, I mean, obviously scarred for life. Emotion, physically of the brother.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And this idiot. Yeah, yeah. There you have it.

[Cindy Overton]

There you have it. Goodness gracious.

[Woody Overton]

It's time for family matters.

[Cindy Overton]

You started off the last story, you know, describing Crystal as a mama bear doing everything to protect her daughter or her children. Well, I have a papa bear, all right, from Frankfort, Kentucky. And he's been charged with murder after opening fire on two students that go to school with his son. And he killed one of the students and injured another. And this all happened on Kentucky State University campus while visiting his son around December 9th of last year. The Suspect is Jacob Lee bard and he's 48 years old and he's actually from Evansville, Indiana. And he was taken into custody and remains booked on charges of murder and first degree assault in connection with the incident. According to police, Bard and his wife traveled to Kentucky State University campus after their son, who was a student at the school, called them and said he's been assaulted and somebody's been messing with him. So Bart and his wife met with the campus police and they also met with student affairs officials and they were seeking assistance for their son before accompanying him to the residence hall. Well, things didn't go the way they were trying to make it go. Would just have the campus intervene and, you know, do everything the right way. And at 3pm that day that they were there, near Whitney M. Young Jr. Hall, which was a residence hall on the south side of campus, a shooting occurred. Police said Bard opened fire on two individuals, both of whom were students. One was a 19 year old identified by authorities as Dejon Fox Jr. He was from Indianapolis, Indiana and he was transported to a local hospital and he later died from his injuries. The second student was also shot and taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition and police later reported that that student's condition was stable. Campus police and Frankfort law enforcement responded to reports of gunfire and quickly secured the area. I'm sure they were afraid it was some type of mass shooting. I mean, it was, you know what I mean, like doing their job right. Authorities described the incident as isolated and officials said there was no ongoing threat to a wider campus community once Bard was taken into custody at the scene. At the preliminary hearing, Bard's attorney claimed that Bard had acted in self defense after he and his family were attacked by a group of students. A version of events supported by defense testimony describing previous confrontations involving Bard's son and other students. So these other boys must have been like little a holes. Surveillance footage and media reports noted conflicting accounts regarding what exactly preceded the gunfire. And Bard's bail was initially set at $1 million, but a judge later reduced it to 10% or $100,000 pending further legal proceedings. Prosecutors indicated that they will seek formal indictments before Franklin Circuit County Court grand jury at which Bard will be arraigned. And university officials had canceled campus activities for a period following the shooting. And at the latest reporting, Bard remains in custody. And no motive has officially established beyond the events described by, you know, the early counting testimony and police statements and going off of what this, you know, the reason why they were there in the first place.

[Woody Overton]

Well, you know, someone does that to your kid or whatever, there certainly are better ways to handle it. And if you don't like the way campus police handle it or whatever, call somebody else. Otherwise you're going to be in this situation.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Beast mode. All right. Going down to a place that your daddy loved. The Florida Keys. All right, listen to this. Okay, then. Florida Keys. A man faces felony animal abuse charges after investigators found three malnourished, dehydrated and parasite infested dogs were living in outdoor kennels on a property that's. According to Monroe County Sheriff's office. So the investigation into the alleged abuse began when. Hold on one second. They don't say the guy's name yet, but they keep referring to. When a dog was found bloodied and while walking down the street on Big Carpet Key last Friday. Now, the county animal control officers took the dog to an emergency veterinarian hospital where doctors determine he was significantly underweight, dehydrated, and required immediate care, including IV fluids, since, according to sheriff's office, the dog also was infested with hookworms. Now, the dog's owner, this fine guy, Donald ray Sargent, who's 49 years old, he shows up at the. The vet hospital. And animal control officers told him, nope, sorry, you are not getting this dog released back to you.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And that they also told him, we're going to open up an investigation into it. And they said, sergeant was upset, but he eventually left. And that's what a detective. Right. So veterinarians determined the dog was likely bloodied after an altercation with a cat. You know why? This is the, the, the veterinarians that are all the detectives out there, they look into this dog, they examine it and they see the blood. And then, you know, they, they said, this is probably from a cat. You know why? Because the doctors found a cat claw in its face.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, my gosh. So he lost his.

[Woody Overton]

I guess the dog bit it off when the cat attacked it. I don't know. Well, deputies were like, we better go check on this homie and pull his. Check his temperature, check his oil, whatever the. You want to say. And they go to sergeant's house, which is on Ed Swift Road, the next day. And they found two more dogs that were also malnourished, dehydrated and full of worms. And they were living in outdoor kennels that were dirty with feces. One of the dogs was so thin, its spine, hips and ribs were easily visible. In this, according to the report, one of the dogs had pressure sores on all of its limbs, indicating inactivity. Like bed sores, right? Yep. He said, the detective said this was unusual for such a young, young dog, which they estimated to be 22 months old. So both dogs also had hookworms. And you know, I told y', all, even prisoners don't like people that abuse animals. And the deputies don't like it either. And they arrested sergeant on Thursday on two felony animal cruelty counts and one misdemeanor count. And he's being held in the Monroe County Jail on Stock island near Key west on a $25,000 bond. As he should be. Fuck him.

[Cindy Overton]

Definitely as he should be. Wow. How do you just let him get to that level?

[Woody Overton]

I mean, I don't. I have them. I just shoot them and put them out of their misery. It's time for family matters. I should have actually started today's episode with this of going to Mississippi. Just unreal. And let's see if I can play the audio clip.

[Grainger Advertiser]

This man accused in a deadly mass shooting over the weekend in Mississippi is expected in court today. Six people were killed, including a seven year old girl. The Clay County Sheriff's office says Derica Moore shot and killed his father, uncle and brother before stealing a truck. He then drove to two other locations and and is accused of killing three more people, including the child.

[Woody Overton]

So we're going to West Point, Mississippi. And a 24 year old Mississippi man killed six people, his father, brother, uncle, seven year old cousin, a church pastor and the pastor's brother at three separate locations, all on this past Friday night in he went on a rampage. So Derek M. Moore was arrested at a police roadblock in Cedar Bluff just for midnight after dozens of local, state and federal officers flooded the northeast Mississippi area. Moore was being held without bail Saturday at the Clay County Jail in West Point on murder charges and head of an expected initial appearance, which happened yesterday on Monday. So Clay County District Attorney Scott Colum, who said he expects to pursue the death penalty, told Associated Press that Moore would likely be appointed a public defender at the time of his hearing. If charges are upgraded to capital murder before then, Moore will be ineligible for bail under state law. Look, this motherfucker doesn't deserve bail.

[Cindy Overton]

No.

[Woody Overton]

And you kill six people. I'm g give you more details. Mississippi has a death penalty at Parchment. I guarantee they'll use it. Even though this guy will be on death row, he'll probably die of natural college before he gets it, but he deserves it. So. Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott said at a Saturday news conference that evidence and witnesses indicate that Moore was the only shooter and no other injuries have been reported. Investigators will continue to interview more but do not currently know what may have motivated him. He said a situation like this, you got a family member attacking their own family. Whatever the reason is, we're hoping that we'll find out, he said. The shootings unfolded in an area of fields, woods and mostly modest homes about 125 miles northeast of Jackson, and investigators believe Moore first killed his father, 67 year old Glenmore, his brother, 33 year old Quinn Moore, and his uncle, 55 year old Willie Ed Gaines. And he killed him at the family's mobile home on a dirt road in western Clay County. And the sheriff said more then stole his brother's truck and drove a few miles to a cousin's house where he forced his way in and attempted to rape someone, attempt to commit a sexual battery. And Scott said more than put a gun to the head of a seven year old girl who meant that not giving her identity and failed to shot her. You're gonna rape a 7 year old? They fight you so you just shoot them instead, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

It doesn't deserve to breathe again. So Scott said it According to witnesses, Moore then placed a gun against a younger child's head, but she was not shot. Said it was not clear whether he did not pull the trigger or the gun misfired. I guarantee the gun misfired, he said. That's how violent it was. Now the mother and a third child were also present. The sheriff said Moore then drove to a small white frame church, the Apostolic Church of the Lord Jesus. There he broke into a residence and killed the pastor and his brother and.

[Mood.com and BetterHelp Advertiser]

Stole one of their vehicles.

[Cindy Overton]

Jeez.

[Woody Overton]

Scott said the last two victims, the Reverend Barry Bradley and Samuel Bradley, lived most of the time in nearby Columbus but spent weekends on church grounds and some more family members attend the church. Moore was called at that roadblock at 11:24pm near where the second shooting occurred and four and a half this was four and a half hours after the first call came in. They said that Moore had a rifle and a handgun. The Scott said officers are investigating where Moore obtained the guns and of course the medical examiners performed the autopsies on the victims and they said that the survive relatives naturally are overcome. Agree said it was really hard to have conversations other than prayers with everybody out there and this has really shaken our community. So the six people one night, several different scenes, it's about as bad as it gets.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes, and I touched on that because you weren't on the show yesterday. I touched on that a little bit, but not in the detail that you did. And I knew you would have more information.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, I mean, well, it always. Yeah, a little more comes out as it. I mean, this is horrific. This is rural northeast Mississippi. Yeah. You know, nothing but the delta farmland. And some people naturally live there like this. But can you imagine just killing your daddy and brother, going to rape a kid and killing them. And why after all that, the devil's so much in you, you got to go to the church and kill the pastor and his brother and steal his car. And you know what? He kept killing. They not got him. So his ass going to Parchment for sure. And you know what that. I know this county is probably a very poor county, and most people don't know that when you get the death penalty, whatever county the charges occur in, they have to pay for all the appeals and everything else. But pretty sure they'll gather up the money for this one. So I don't know the. All right, y'. All. The. I am recording today. That's why time. I'm recording today with Ms. Barbara Johnson. And we're going to release a hashtag justice for Haley on, I think, Friday this week. And hashtag just Bradley and hashtag just for ao will be on Saturday. The Patreon and convicts. You will get it commercial free early release of both of those episodes, one probably on Wednesday, the other one on Bradley's on Thursday. And the. Ms. Barbara has been contacted by an individual who wants to assist in the case. Well, I'll let her tell you about it. I have kind of mixed emotions about it, but at this point, we'll do anything we can to try to help push Haley's case forward and. And get more attention forward and hopefully put the pressure on to, you know, for them to actually talk to another lawyer and say, hey, this actually is a double jeopardy because you never tried him for the murder. And it was a murder, not a suicide.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes.

[Woody Overton]

So I don't know what else to say about that.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't either. I just. I know. I don't know.

[Woody Overton]

But, you know, I really feel horrible for making everybody. For encouraging everybody to stand by all those months, because I believe that D A was going to do something. I really, really did believe it. And her being the next cop and her calling Ms. Barber at home on Sundays and stuff like that. And I listened to the meetings, recordings of the meeting Ms. Barber had with them, and she was all fired up like everybody was when she heard the facts of the case. And then I guess she got too busy in office and brand being brand new in office, and she just realized Ms. Barber didn't live there anymore. And they don't have a lot of wealth and means or, you know, to continue to pressure, if you will, and. And do different things. So we did what we could do as far as telling the complete story and getting them to. To at least. And they said they were going to reinvestigate and all that, but they didn't. In the end, all they did was have a meeting and, you know, put us all for months and months and months and. And have a meeting and say it. We're not going to prosecute that. We'll use double jeopardy as an excuse.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. She's not smart enough to figure that out.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. And she's just going to go away. What they didn't count on was her ripping her ass. And I mean to think about this. Ms. Barbara by herself, the Haley's mama, taking on the district attorney for Cobb county and all her underlings, and all of them were. Are. And. And. And not Ms. Barbara. All of them are.

[Cindy Overton]

It's like a bully sex.

[Woody Overton]

Exactly Right. She didn't back down, and I'm very proud for that. And we will. I will interview her, let her tell you how she's feeling and what she's thinking and what she wants to do. She's going to place her trust in another individual to try to push it forward from a different angle. And we will share that. The, you know, the links to that and everything once. Once we get the episode done. So look forward next week and. And do whatever you feel led to do. And I know life is very passionate about it. I still very passionate, feel very passionate about it. And. But you can only. We. I can only do what I can do. And the lifers can only do so much. But we'll see how this works out. And. And y' all do whatever you feel in your hearts to do when it comes out.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So. But that's about all I have for today.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, that's all I have for today.

[Woody Overton]

That's all you have for today. And then it's finally cooled off now. The hunting season is almost over with.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, my gosh, it's freezing.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, Lord. It's not that cold.

[Cindy Overton]

It is freezing.

[Woody Overton]

All right, well, that's it. I'm Woody Overton. I'm Cindy Overton, host True Crime time for Tuesday, January 13th. We'll holler y' all later. Peace.
