Time for Friday, January 23, 2026 and I'm Woody O. Overton. Rolling solo today in the studio. Cindy cover for me earlier this week and I'm covering for her today, getting preparations for this winter storm and I was just telling Shane earlier on the phone today, I said, he said it's gonna be like minus 45 up in Wisconsin. I was like, I'm pretty sure that's Antarctic weather, right? I don't want any of that but is in south Louisiana. When it drops below freezing and it rains or I guess it's snow or sleet or ice or whatever you call it, then people here act stupider than they do. When a Category 5 hurricane is coming, just everything shuts down the road shut down all businesses and schools and government agencies except for of course your law enforcement and first responders. It all shuts down. It'd be a total, total show. And I think for like three or four days it's going to be in the 20s and then warms up into the 40s for a couple days and then back into the I think I saw like a week from Saturday is 10 degrees. Holy shit, that's cold for us down here. So that being said, hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for ao. Hashtag just from this Barbara Blunt. Hashtag just for Haley. Let's talk about that for a second. Let me check it and see the. The GoFundMe. Ms. Barbara started to get the evidence room to come in and do the reconstruction of the crime scene. Is. Let's see where it's at. The GoFundMe. It is. At $3602, y', all, and she needs 10,000. So if you can. It's on all our social media and in the show notes and everything else. If you can give anything, it would be greatly appreciated. If you can't, we get that to just maybe share it. And it's really. It's really pretty touching. I'm gonna go ahead and read it to you real quick. And then it is what? Ms. Barbara, right? So my name is Barbara. Hey. Haley was my daughter and Stella's sister. Haley was loving, happy, nurturing, and deeply committed to the people she. She had a way of making friends feel like family and family feel like gold. She carried her relationships into every part of her life. She had plans. She wanted to have children. She had a business she was building, and she was looking forward to her future until her Life ended on December 26, 2022, inside the apartment she loved, where she should have been safest. Since that day, our lives have been turned upside down. Halo's death was investigated by the Marietta Police Department, but they mishandled the investigation. The Cobb County District Attorney's office has declined to pursue a murder indictment without additional evidence. Despite my repeated pleas, no further investigation has been or will be done. As a mother living with unanswered questions about how your child died, there's a pain that never stops. I may never know exactly how, but I do know who everyone loved. Haley. Her friends have stood by her through every court appearance and continue to carry her memory with them in their daily lives and special moments. They are grieving, too. Our entire family is through this process. We found Woody Overton, the Real Life, Real Crime podcast. Along with its listeners known as lifers, Woody dedicated an entire series, justice for Haley, to laying out the facts of Haley's case. Despite providing everything uncovered during the investigation, the district attorney still has refused to move forward. What we are asking for now is not speculation. It is science. I am raising funds to hire an independent forensic specialist, Scott Roeder of the evidence room, who has extensive experience in crime scene reconstruction, forensic analysis, and courtroom reviewed investigative work. This specialist will reconstruct the apartment and analyze the physical evidence using an Established forensic science methods to determine whether Haley could have taken her own life or whether the evidence shows she was murdered. The estimated cost for this forensic reconstruction and Expert analysis is $10,000 and it will not be less than that amount. This fund will cover the independent specialist review, scene reconstruction, evidence analysis and formal reporting. While additional costs are not expected, any changes or necessary increases will be communicated transparently as the process moves forward. The initial 10,000 is essential to begin this work. Any findings from the expert analysis will be formally submitted to the Cobb County's District Attorney's office for review. This type of forensic work must be done while evidence records and scene details are still available. If we do not act now, this opportunity may be lost forever. I promised Haley I would get justice for her. I cannot rest and I cannot begin to grieve until the truth comes out and her memory is honored properly. I'm asking for help from anyone who can support us in taking this final step. Your contribution will be directly. Your contribution will directly fund the forensic work needed to bring a murder indictment and give our family a chance at peace. Thank you for standing with us and for helping Haley's memory. Helping keep Haley's memory alive. I've included some frequently asked questions. Why are you raising funds for this? Law enforcement and district attorneys have stated they cannot move forward without additional evidence. This independent forensic reconstruction is our last realistic opportunity to obtain scientifically grounded answers. Next question. What exactly will the forensic specialist do? The specialist will reconstruct the apartment and analyze physical evidence using established forensic science methods. This includes scene dynamics, position and evidence consistency. Next question. Why does it cost 10,000? The. The 10,000 represents the minimum required cost for an independent forensic review, including scene reconstruction, evidence analysis, formal reporting. This level of work requires specialized expertise and time. Next question. Could the cost increase? The cost will not be less than 10,000. While additional costs are not expected, any necessary changes will be communicated transparently if they arise. Next question. What happens after the analysis is completed? Any finding from the forensic reconstruction will be formally submitted to the Cobb County DA's office for review. Next question. Does donating guaranteed charges will be filed? No. Donations fund the forensic analysis only. Any decision regarding prosecution is solely up to the DA's office. Next question. How will donors be updated? Updates will be posted on GoFundMe as the process move forward, including when the Friends review begins and when findings are submitted. Next question. How else can people help if they cannot donate? Sharing this fundraiser helps tremendously. Visibility, increase the likelihood of reaching the funding goal and keeps Haley's story from Being forgotten, y'. All. Then Ms. Barber gave an update on January 20th. Says, I just want to thank everyone. I am absolutely amazed by how quickly we've gotten one third of the way. I feel like this is going to finally get an indictment. If not with the D. A. I feel like this would be enough for the prosecuting attorneys qualification commission of Georgia to investigate for misconduct. I will never be able to thank you enough, but I am so grateful for all of you. So y', all, you can do it. Anonymous. That's how we're doing it. You can do it. Anonymous. You can do any way you want to. And it would be. I mean, it's our last shot and Ms. Barber wants it done. And we figured we'd use this platform, try to get a murder indictment for the sweet baby. So there you have it. Let's get out some true crime time for January 23rd. And on this day in 2018, Jerry Oliver entered a guilty plea for murder to higher plot in South Carolina. Jerry Oliver, who's a member of the Hell's Angels, made a deal with the driver at his work. Oliver told the driver that he knew an attorney that would help him with a DUI charge in exchange for the murder of his ex wife. Oliver and the driver had numerous discussions regarding the murder. And Oliver had even gone so far as to provide a loaded gun for the driver. The driver reached out to the FBI and provided evidence that allowed for the arrest of Oliver. Mr. Oliver, you up? So the. That's this day in history. January 23rd. All right, a couple national news things real quick. I mean, just what the is going on in the world, man. Leftist agitator goes from class to cuffs after alleged shooting threat on campus. You can't do that. I'm just try to highlight some of them, right? The shit's so political. Most of it. Oh, let me read this one. But you know, we told you in depth about Brian Kohlberger, the murderer of the four students in in. In Idaho, y'. All. They accidentally released crime scene photos to the world this week. Come on, man. That's just talk about traumatizing the family. Anyway, they said crime scene photo photos from the 2022 murders of the four University of Idaho students were accidentally released this week which triggered outrage from the victims families. And according to the family members, the photograph showed the interior of the off campus Moscow, Idaho home where students Zain A. Carnagel, Kaylee gun Calvis, Madison Mogan and Ethan Chapman were stabbed to death on November 13th of 2022. The family of gun Calvi said the exposure of the images reflected a lapse in judgment and basic safeguards, arguing that evidence from a quadruple homicide should never been made accessible without strict controls. They said, please be kind and as difficult as it is, place yourself outside of yourself and consume the content as if it were your loved one. And they said your d, your daughter, your sister, your son or your brother. Murder isn't entertainment and crime scene photos aren't content. And y' all just goes on and on to tell about the. There was an injunction about anything being released and what have you. And, but there's some gray area, the public, Idaho's public records law. And I don't know this up. And, and we talk about it all the time how people forget that these are real people and it's real trauma there. Four families and everybody that loved them is just unreal, you know, I don't know. So let's see. We got anything else real quick we want to talk about? I do have one. Another one, y', all, from FOX News. And this one is. It's time for Family Matters. You know, we had the cool house that we hung out at in high school and stuff and the Miss Linda Calvin was the best. And Mr. Bobby, they're like parents to us. And they were cool. You know, we drank there. We had to leave her keys and stuff like that. Well, in California, they're calling this lady the party mom in Shannon O'. Connor. And she's been charged with 63 counts of nastiness. Let me see if I can play this audio for you. You know what, I can't play the audio because for some reason right now my phone is on SOS and I don't even know what that means, but I'll read it to you. So they said a jury is hearing from teenagers who have testified, testified about being victims of a California mom who's facing dozens of charges after hosting secret alcohol SO benders in which high school freshmen were encouraged to engage in sexual behavior at her family's swanky mansion. Yeah, I looked it up. For a house to be considered a mansion has to be over 9,000 square feet. But Shannon O' Connor is on trial after she was slapped with 63 criminal charges stemming from her alleged involvement in throwing alcohol and sex fueled parties for minors during the 2021 school year in Santa Clara. And this is according to the local kron. Now, the deputy district attorney, Joanna Lee alleged that o', Connor, who has been dubbed the Los Gatos party mom, hosted chaotic alcohol soaked vendors, adding that for many freshmen at Los Gatos high school in 2020. Their first experience with alcohol ended in overconsumption, vomiting and blackouts. And the setup Connor's house was a place for children to engage in sexual conduct. The defendant groomed the children, normalized sex, encouraged hooks, hookups and sexual behavior. Many of the attendees were 14 year old freshmen, with O' Connor allegedly serving as the only adult supervising the parties which were hosted up to five times a week.

Year doing things right.
C
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.
B
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 Sideroll from Farming Nutra. Sideroll 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 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 it's used in over 90 countries.

R H E-L-P.com Prosecutors allege O' Connor used her son's status on the football team and cool mom reputation to communicate daily with the freshmen through Snapchat without their parents knowledge. On Tuesday, one female minor identified as Jane Doe 6 testified the social environment at the gather gatherings was misogynistic while corroborating prior statements from victims which alleged o' Connor pressured teens to sneak out of their homes to drink heavily and to hook up. Jane Doe 6 reportedly went on to allege her best friend, a 14 year old girl identified as Jane Doe 4 experienced symptoms of depression and alcoholism after being sexually and physically abused by boys at the party. Jane do seven would touch her in front of everybody. Jane six told the court. It was bad and it was weird. The young girl reportedly went on to testify that when Jane Do7 drank alcohol he would act violently towards the girls at the party and no one reacted to it. On one occasion, Jane Doe 4 was sitting in Oconnors kitchen in her swimsuit when John Doe 7 began to punch Jane Doe 4 on her leg. And this they said O' Connor was drinking a glass of champagne and laughed as she watched. John Doe 7 stood over her and continued to kick her legs and stomach all while O' Connor was sitting in the kitchen. Jane Jane Doe 6 told the prosecution that her friend was totally alcohol dependent and had to take shots of alcohol before she could even leave her house. The mother, Jane Doe 4, also took the stand this week, telling the court her daughter first visit Oconnors home in the fall of 2020 to work on a school science project with Oconnors son. She said it all seemed normal in the beginning. She was an innocent kid. She never dated. And she added when she dropped Jane do four off the house, it was very fancy, beautiful home and o' Connor's son seemed like a nice kid. Well, after the child made several trips o' Connor's home, her behavior changed, the mom testified, adding her daughter acted really tired and closed off. Jane J. Do Ford's mother went on to add that she confronted her daughter after noticing bruises on her body. But the concerns were brushed off and one night the mother noticed Jane does four breath smell like alcohol and told her no matter what it is, I will help you. The mom added that her child felt a lot of shame, was trying to escape. And y', all, it just goes on and on. I mean the horrible situation in I don't know man. And I can promise you all the parties we had none. I mean not saying the drinking wasn't encouraged when we bought our own alcohol or that wasn't known that we were drinking. But the hookups and all that sexual in front of other people didn't happen. So I don't know. There you go. Well, I was going to do a Planes, Trains and Automobiles and play y' all a video but again the phone service is out and I can't get it. So I would just read you the story and is and this video shows a man screaming on a flight after another guy talks to his wife and other passengers began to boo him. Well whatever. All right, so it says some incidents are so unhinged that they can turn an ordinary flight into a spectator sport. And that's what happened with a Southwest Airlines flight which turned chaotic after a man flipped out over another passenger talking to his wife. The blow up was caught on video because everything is now and quickly went viral. The footage shows a flight attendant stepping in and ordering the man off the plane is according to Atlanta Black Star said there's no excuse so I'm telling you you have to get off. The crew member says the passengers immediately back her up. Everybody wants you off D. One man yells and that's When Sugar turned, the passengers start shouting across the cabin and accuses others of disrespect. So if your wife's over there talking to another dude, man, you're just gonna sit there and take it like a little, but you feel like you could talk to me. And they screaming. He stands up, still raging, and pulls a bag of takeout food with him into the aisle. Nut job, you run your mouth. He shouts while moving toward the exit. Another passenger mocks him from a seat. Dollar for a slice. I evidently was carrying a pizza. The hacker yells. And the man snaps, put your phone down, you dick. Aren't you like 80 and you're still filming people, I guess saying, this guy, y' all have that picture of me, he's all swole up, right? He's in. Be in the gym like 10 days a week. Then second later, he hurls the bag of food at a nearby passenger. And video from another angle shows the takeout hitting a smiling man who barely reacts. And as a man is escorted off the plane, the cabin mood flips and laughter breaks out. People clap, jokes start flying. French fries, anyone? The man with food says that's all he's got left. Well, the video first appeared on TikTok before spreading other platforms where viewers ripped into the outburst and praised the crew said it's unclear what set the man off before the confrontation. Southwest open seating policy may have played a role, but passengers chose any available passengers. Choose any available seat on board and the couple may have boarded late or failed. Check in early. And there, there you have it. I mean, come on, man. I don't. If you're that jealous of your wife, I don't want to say, keep her on their lock and key because it's just stupid. But dude. And talking to his wife, I guess she thought he had more muscles than you. I don't know. I don't get it. There you have it. So, all right, let's talk about some dumb criminals, if you will. And I actually had this happen to me when I was out of town and I was so detective with Livingston. Somebody broke into my unmarked unit and I had a pistol that was given to me. My father in law at the time, they stole that. But thank God they didn't get into the trunk because I had all my SWAT gear in it, like machine gun and. And ultimately I was able to get it back. I told that story. But listen to this now. You break into a cop's car and you steal anything, you know they're going to bring the heat after your Ass. It's like a direct go to jail ticket. And the they said the January 7th death of Renee Nicole Good at the hands of an ICE agent in Minneapolis was a tragedy that put the country on edge. So it was no surprise that a non fatal shooting during an arrest in the city exactly one week later sparked violent protests. And a convicted felon allegedly use that chaos as cover to steal an assault weapon from an abandoned FBI vehicle. Now the original shooting occurred January 14th after ICE agents conducted a targeted traffic stopped to arrest a Venezuelan national. Authorities say the suspect began to violently assault the officers. Two passerbys then join in using a snow shovel and a broom handle to strike the agents. I'm pretty sure you're going to jail for that, whether the agents are right or wrong. But one agent shot the suspect in the leg and transport him to nearby hospital. Well after the gunfire, as you can imagine, Sugar turned shit. And the neighborhood descended into chaos. And during the unrest, the FBI agents retreated and left behind at least one of their FBI issued bureau vehicles. You know, like fuck the car. We don't care about the car. We care about getting out of the area. So the FBI says suspects broken, broke open the standard police car gun vault in the trunk and stole a laptop, a Glock handgun, pistol, ammunition, body armor and a handheld radio. One suspect also took a rifle bag. And that bag contained a Colt M16 rifle and suppressor machine gun, y'. All. The suspect had a distinctive face tattoo, which prompted the FBI to circulate the surveillance video showing him removing the rifle bag. And investigators later identified him as Raul Giters, 33, of Minneapolis. Gutierrez, or whatever his name is, has prior felony convictions including domestic assault by strangulation, burglary and reckless discharge of a firearm. And. And as a convicted felon, we all know he's prohibited from possessing firearms. Civilians also cannot legally purchase newly manufactured M16 rifles because there would be semiautomatic areas. Admitted to stealing the rifle bag, but claimed two unknown men immediately took it from him. Well, that doesn't absolve you, sir. And you stole it. And you got it stolen from you. You still stole it. And federal prosecutors wrote that during question. Gutierrez, however, you said attempted to walk back his knowledge of the gun by saying he did not know what was in the case. Well, now he's facing a slew of federal charges and authorities have not said who breached the gun vault or how it was open. And the FBI is offering a hundred thousand dollar reward for information leading to arrests. I'm pre sure somebody's going to write them out for 100,000. So. All right, let's see. Let me tell you a true. It's time for F up professionals. You know, I hate dirty cops. I always said that in don't ever good cop hates dirty cops. And we're gonna go out to Chicago and this, this is just so stupid. I know Cindy hates that word. They had an officer whose name is Jeffrey Schaefer and he's 40 years old. Right. Well, he evidently has arrested a bunch of people. And. And, you know, I don't know. You know, I think about all the people I arrested because I arrested more than anybody else, especially on the street. And a lot of them you would never get subpoenas for. I guess it's because people pled guilty and maybe sometimes they threw them out. But I never lost a case in open court. Well, this guy did. And after having this criminal case dropped ahead of a trial, a Chicago police officer now faces dismissal for allegedly. And listen to this. Beating a teenage boy after he crashed a stolen car during a chase in Woodlawn in January 2021. Now, the police superintendent, Larry Snelling, filed a formal disciplinary charges against officer Jeffrey Schaer last month, alleging that Schaefer had engaged in an improper pursuit, attacked a 17 year old driver, verbally assaulted another person, and failed to turn on his body camera. Don't turn on your body camera. You know you're about to do some underhanded. That camera looks like a lock. A lock. He's an honest man. Honest, Right. All right. Well, Schaefer and his partner, Officer Victor Gubera, were previously charged criminally. But Gilbert hasn't faced similar disciplinary charges filed with the Chicago Police Board. The criminal charges were dropped almost three years after the ledge beating, Just as events trial was set to begin, prosecutors said the victim had stopped cooperating. I'm like that, right? Well, let me tell you what happened. So Schaefer and Gabara were patrolling on the morning of January 10, 2021, when they saw a teen driving a Chevrolet Chevrolet Camaro. And they ran the plate and it came back as stolen. So the Camaro drove onto the sidewalk, lightly struck the officer, squad car. That's a no, no. And ultimately crashed into a brick garage in the 6400 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue. Well, I'm pretty sure they weren't having a good day. Right. In a stolen car. And you lost control and you hit a police car, then you wrecked. Well, another officer detained the boy in a vacant lot. Ian Gubera punched him in his face as he Laid on his stomach with his left arm behind his back and his right arm under his chin. This court of prosecutors not necessary, sir. When Guevara walked away, Schaefer punched the teenager four times in his head while he laid on the sidewalk, then pushed his face into the concrete. After the team was handcuffed, Schaefer brought him to his feet, pushed him face first into a metal fence. Watch out for the fence, sir. Right. Schaefer and Guevara failed to activate their body cameras. Another no, no, that alone is a is a police department charge the internal affairs. But the incident was recorded by other officers and police surveillance cameras nearby. Now, after a gun was found, the Camaro's glove box. The two officers claimed the teen had aimed it at them during the pursuit. But they hadn't reported the gun pointing over police radio or mentioned it during the arrest. Back in the day, that would have been a call a drop gun, y'. All. Some cops carried old piece of pistols in case sugar turn the and they made a mistake and then they would get the drop gun out and drop and say, oh, you know, he was aiming the gun at me. That didn't make it right. Not at all.

Well, so anyway, back to it. The boy's charges were dropped earlier in 2021 when he got lucky. Schaefer's attorney didn't respond for comment. And Schaefer was previously named in a lawsuit alleging that he and other officers executed a bad search warrant as an infant slept in her crib and the mother and her other children got ready for bed. No contraband was found during the 2019 raid, and the target of the warrant didn't live at the apartment. That was search. And then that suit was settled for $325,000. Schaefer just got. He got issues, right? I'm pretty sure your ass is in a crack. If you get, you know, man, you get a search warrant, it's involved. You got to do surveillance. You make sure you address right. You got to write it up. It's not like you get one instantly. It takes time, and you hit the wrong apartment. Well, shame on you, Schaefer. But Schaefer has been the subject of at least eight other complaints, including a sustained, which means you guilty allegation for unintentionally firing his gun. Again, this according to city records. Four of those cases involved allegations of excessive force. A little bit of a pattern here, Mr. Schaefer. In one case, Schaefer was accused of punching a protester in July of 2018 in South Shore near the scene of a fatal police shooting. A commander told investigators that he saw video footage that showed Schaefer was punched first. Okay. They. Schaefer wasn't interviewed because he was on an extended leave of absence from the department due to an unrelated criminal matter. And this according to the civilian office of Police Accountability. He is elected to have his case heard by an independent arbitrator instead of police board. And the state supreme court will soon decide whether such cases can be heard behind closed doors and after fraternal order of police appealed. Blah, blah, blah, whatever. I don't really agree with that. The, you know, yeah, it's a really big fat ass gray area when it comes to police being charged by police. And by that, I mean internally. And they have the police officer bill of rights on top of your Miranda rights. And you have so many days to do this and so many days to do that. And, and I get it. The, you know, getting an attorney and. And fighting it if you're innocent. But a lot of y'. All. And I've been involved in them. A lot of them get it and fight it just so they can get a lesser outcome. Instead of like being fired or instead of getting up a year off the after, they just like regular criminal court. After they fight it for so long, they'll give knock it down to like 90 days without pay. All another waste of skin, you know. So, you know, I like to watch. Well, let me do this. It's time for effort of professionals. It's not a lot of cop shows that. That I'll even watch, you know, like the reality shows. But one of them I do watch is. Is the ones about game wardens. And you know, I pick on game wardens a lot. They even though I have some that are best friends and has some family members of game wardens, but the, you know, I call them possum cops and like that jokingly. But let me tell you one thing about a game warden. Every almost 99% of the people they come in contact with in the woods, guess what? Those people have guns or they have some type of weapon, right? And so it's a pretty dangerous job. And I like to watch the game wardens shows like they got them like from Montana. They even have one for Louisiana. They also have one in Texas and it was called Lone Star law, right? And the game wardens do more than just go after hunters in Louisiana. They control the waterways. And you know, they do lots of different things like that. They have special task force, like if somebody's running somebody's crab traps and stuff like that. And. But it's pretty dangerous job and my hat's off to them. But the Lone Star Law, y', all, is the. The show about the Texas game wardens. And let me tell you about this idiot going to Jasper, Texas. And a Jasper county grand jury handed down new indictments Friday against a former Texas game warden, Justin Charles Edens, who's 47 of Jasper. And they added three more felony charges to a growing list of allegations across multiple east Texas counties. Back up for a second. They don't have enough gay Mortons to have just one sign to one county. Or in Louisiana be parish, unless it's like a really big parish, you know, the rural or something like that. So they most of the time your game boards are going to cover different jurisdictions. So this guy, former game warden, he's got his ass in a crack and Eddie's now face charges of making false statement to attain property or credit valued between 30,000 and 150,000 tampering with physical evidence with intent to impair an investigation and harvesting standing timber value between 20,000 and 100,000. And all three of these are third degree felonies. Now, the tampering charges alleges Eddings knowingly gave a false statement related to the harvesting of standing timber and destroyed text messages to impair an investigation. The timber theft charges accuses him of knowingly harvesting standing timber without the effective consent of the owner. It's a theft, right? I guess he figured the owner, maybe he looked up and the owner lived out of state and wouldn't know the difference. So the false statement charge alleges that Eddins made materially false or misleading written statement to Southside bank by failing to disclose personal debt with intent to get loans between 30 and $150,000. These new charges come on top of previous indictments in two other counties. A San Augustine county grand jury indicted Eddins in October 2025 for making a materially false or misleading written statement to Southside Bank. And a Sabine county grand jury indicted him in November on 2025 on three counts. A false statement to attain credit and provision with certain services. Sound like him a ongoing game for this dude. And the San Augustine indictment alleges Eddie used another person's name and credit information to secure loans worth between a hundred and fifty thousand and three hundred thousand during an eighteen month period from March 20th to 2022 through November 2023. Wow. Y' all at your bank. If you're gonna give a a lane for between 150 and 300,000, check the driver's license. But Ed's attorney, Bill Moran Jr. Has maintained his client's innocence throughout the investigation. He said this is a matter of misunderstanding. It's not a crime. And that's what he told local 12 news in earlier statements. To 12 news more said Justin Eddins has honorably served the state of Texas for 31 plus years with over 24 years as a Texas game warden with the Texas parks and Wildlife and department here in east Texas. Justin has been accused of making false statements to a bank within intent to attain loans. He denies any intent to defraud and looks forward to clearing his name. And we are confident that when all the facts were reviewed in context, the public will see this was a matter of misunderstanding, not a crime. Well, Eddins, who served as game warden for 24 years, was relieved of his. He got fired with the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife following this first indictment. Texas Parks wildlife confirmed ends no longer works for the Agency. The former warden gained public recognition through his appearance on the reality television show Lone Star Law, where he was featured disarming a man with the machete several years ago. Anyway, he now enjoys time in jail and he turned himself in to the Sabian County Sheriff's office on November 21st. Well, it was released the same day on three ten thousand dollar bonds. And the San Augustine Sheriff's Office said Eddins posted a fifty thousand dollar bond and was released the same day as the rest on the original charge. So. And guess what? My favorite. I told y' all my favorite law enforcement agency, probably United States of America, that I ever worked with the Texas Rangers. They confirmed that Mr. Eddins is still under investigation. Well, Mr. Eddins, you. Shame on you. Always criminal, you know, always said that. Well, I shouldn't say that, but the best criminals make the best cops. And. And because you think like a criminal. Right. So let me see if I can give you something funny then on. All right. Well, this, this is not funny, but it's pretty interesting. So they got a guy who's been branded the most dangerous inmate ever incarcerated in the United States prison system. And they say he's an individual deemed so deadly he endured 36 years in solitary confinement, which is believed to be the longest period in US federal prison history. 36 years in a hole, y'. All. And you look at his mug shot and he's just smiling an ordinary smile. And you, if they say looking at his. Look at his mug shot with this deceptively ordinary smile without any background, you'd likely be shocked to discover the brutal violence that Thomas Silverstein was capable of inflicting. He might appear to be a farmhand or clergyman from the heartland of America, rather than someone dubbed Terrible Tom or America's Most Dangerous Prisoner 4. You might ask why. First, numerous killings and the role as a head of one of the globe's most feared and infamous prison gangs. Yeah, all the gangs run the prisons. His conduct indeed sparked the establishment of the supermax prison, or super maximum security facility, operated at the nation's highest custody level. And out of his 67 years on Earth, Thomas Silverstein lived the final 42 years behind bars with 36 spent in isolation, some reportedly under no human conduct like that. Every supermax is under this under no human contact conditions, y'. All, when they. I remember when they first built supermaxes, they in their lockdown 23 hours a day. When you go to get them out, the only contact they have, you drop the slot door. They have to turn around and put their hands behind the back. You handcuff them through. Then you make entry in the cell. They have to get on their bunk, on their knees and you shackle them up. That's it. They don't get out. And, and that's the only contact that they ever have is when they're being moved from point A to point B anyway. So they said that the, the no human contact conditions and that whether this served as his punishment or protected others well being is debatable. In one of his holding cells, the overhead light was left burning around the clock, so never had darkness. Correctional officers are said to have declined speak with him since one of his victims was a correctional officer named Marley Klutz. Mr. Klutz was killed in 1983 at the Marion prison in Illinois. And despite Silverstein being confined for 23 hours daily, it took just a fleeting moment outside of his cell for to slay the officer. As Silverstein emerged handcuffed, just like I told y'. All. From the shower area, he approached Randy Gomez, a fellow inmate and an Aryan Brotherhood gang associate, and he walked up to him to chat. Gomez suddenly produced a stolen key and unlocked Silverstein's cuff. Since recording to the BBC, they said Silverstein leaned through the bars, pulled a shank from Gomez's waistband and turned around and stabbed officer clutz 20 times y'. All. Hours afterwards, Clayton Fountain, another inmate and Aryan Brotherhood member, it did the same thing. They used the same tactic to murder Correctional officer Robert Hoffman. And Marion prison was then put on the indefinite lockdown which remain for 23 years. Wow, that's crazy. While Silverstein was moved to Atlanta facility where security classification was listed as no human contact. And the slayings led to an establishment of the federal supermax Prince Prison in Florence, Colorado which is designed to hold the most dangerous federal inmates. And that's where he was transferred. The I don't know. Let me tell you a couple more. His earlier murders, okay, but that, that supermax holds people like El Chapo and the Boston Marathon bomber and the shoe bomber that tried to blow up the plane, the dumbass who couldn't do it and a bunch of Al Qaeda operatives. Some of his earlier murders. The prior to Murder and Klutz, Silverstein had already taken the lives of two fellow inmates. In 1981, he killed Robert Chappelle, who's a rival gang member serving life for murder by sneaking into his cell and strangling him with a wire. A year later, Silverstein teamed up with the Fountain to fatally stab Raymond Lee Cadillac Smith who is a member of Chappelle's gang. He stabbed 67 times using a makeshift weapon or shank in him speaking to author Pete early for his book. Because this has got to have a book. I guess the Hot House is the name of it. Silverstein recalled. I tried to tell Cadillac that I didn't kill Chappelle, but he didn't believe me and he bragged that he was going to kill me. Well, everyone knew what was going on and no one did anything to keep us apart. The guards wanted us to kill one another. Anyway. Let's go back to his early history. The the he was actually born wealthy in Long Beach, California. They said Silverstein was he was timid and shy and he was bullied as a youngster his mother advised him that if someone came at you with a bat, you got your bat and you both went at it. Well, by age 14 he was already a frequent flower law enforcement and by age 19 he was behind bars for armed robbery. But he got paroled and then he could committed three additional armed robberies which gave him a 15 year sentence. And I'm not going to read you any more than that. The but he did say, I didn't come in here killer, but in here you learn to hate. There you have it. Interesting.
