Woody Overton
Hello everybody and welcome to this episode of True Crime. Time for Monday, January 26th of 2026 and I'm Woody Overton and I'm rolling solo sins. A little under the weather, y'. All, but she's still producing and doing what needs doing and put it back in the saddle. I'm gonna bring you some crazy stories as always, right? But let me tell you first, on January 26th, this day in crime, way back in 1968, dude named Jerry Brudos, who's now known as the Shoe Fetish slayer, he murdered 19 year old Linda Slauson. Slauson was selling encyclopedias when Brudos invited her into his home. Brutus knocked her out, strangled her, posed her with his stolen undergarments and shoe collection, then cut off her left foot to use as a model for a shoe collection. What a sick huh? And, and I don't know. I don't know I ever heard of him before. But that happened on this day, January 26th, back in 1968. I wouldn't even born yet. And so serial killers and sick fucks have been around forever, right? All right, hashtag justice for Bradley. Hashtag justice for AO still working on it. Always will be. He's just not going to hear a full dedicated episode anymore, y'. All. So please continue to call in your tips. 313 rlrctip. And I will do an episode in the future if I need help on something or if I have something to release or something happens and what have you. But until then, I'm gonna be radio silent. And just because of everything I settled on this past Saturday's episode. Let's roll for it, y'. All. The. The hashtag just for Haley. I think I'm recording this a little early because the weather is coming in to look south. Louisiana is going to shut everything down. But we were at like 30. Let me check it real quick. It's very, very important. This is our last shot. Ms. Barbara Johnson wants to do this and I'm gonna back her play and pray that it brings the scientific evidence to view that to light, if you will. That was never done. First of all, at this time it's 39%, y'. All. I'm looking at 3852 of 10,000 raised and that's on GoFundMe or any of our social media. It'll be in the show notes and what have you. It's very important. Wouldn't it be amazing, right, that they come back and it's scientifically undisputable that Haley couldn't have done this to herself, which we all know she didn't. But you know, whatever powers would be justice system isn't perfect, but it's the best in the world. And there you have that. So let's start off with some what would have been national news is be a couple days old for y'. All. I'm going to touch on this case out in Indiana and police in Indiana announced the arrest of five suspects in the shooting of an Indiana judge and his wife at their home earlier this week. The Lafayette Police Department, who y' all don't know, right? Lafayette, Indiana, not Lafayette, Louisiana. I've been there. That's where my polygraph instrument is made. It's the Lafayette instruments and great people there. Actually. Pretty cool town. But the Lafayette Police Department said Raylan Ferguson, 38 Zenata Greer, 61, 61 years old, both for Lexington, Kentucky and Thomas Moss, who's 43, and Blake Smith, who's 32 and Amanda Millsap is 45, who are all from Lafayette, Indiana, were taken into custody following a Jan. 18 attack on Tippecanoe County Judge Stephen Meyer and his wife, Kimberly. Stephen Meyer sustained an arm injury while Kimberly Meyer had a hip injury and both are now in stable condition. Thank God, right? Normally these are murdered with Ferguson. Moss and Smith were arrested on charges including attempted murder, aggravated battery, intimidation with a deadly weapon with gang and firearm enhancements. Police also listed Moss and Smith as habitual offenders. Good. Hopefully they'll get life. All right. Millsap was arrested on bribery and obstruction of justice charges, while Greer was charged with assisting a criminal and obstruction of justice, they said. These arrests are the results of comprehensive collaborative effort among multiple agencies. According to Lafayette Police Department, Sunday's incident marked the first recorded act of violence against the judge. This officials had no records of previous threats against Meyer or 911 calls from the judges. Me lane address dispatch audio obtained by Fox News Digital show that the unidentified shooter knocked on the door Myers home around 2:15pm Sunday, then fired gunshots through the door before firing the gun, the suspect said. We have your dog and it's on audio, y', all, he said. I am so grateful for the outpour and the support from friends, the community, court colleagues and law enforcement, judge Meyer said in a statement Wednesday. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to my medical team. I am receiving excellent care and I am improving. Kim is also deeply appreciative of the community support and she is healing also. I want the community to know that I have strong faith in our judicial system, the judge said. This horrific violence will not shake my belief in the importance of peacefully resolving disputes. I remain confident we have the best judicial system in the world and I am proud to be part of it. Well man, that's a good, that's a good one to start with. I too sir, agree it's the best in the world. Lord knows it's not always perfect and shit like that happens, right? The I don't know. So anyway, the I got my nieces and my goddaughter and I mean if they're not going to build the water polo Olympic team, I don't know who he is, but they've been in the Junior Olympic stuff and all that. And the they all, you know, paid their way through college on scholarships playing water polo. Yeah, it's a pretty prestigious thing. You dedicate yourself and you dedicate your young life and then young adult life to being a professional athlete and you know, you got to really train to work hard for that. Right. And and then you think that you could transfer that same drive over into your regular life and be successful. Well, some people do, most of them do, but some of them turn out to be and there's a former Canadian Olympic Snowboarder in FBI 10 Most Wanted Fugitive named Ryan Wedding and he's asked has been called in Mexico with the help of the Mexican authorities and Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Cash Patel confirmed this. Bondi announced Weddings captured in a post on X, adding the Canadian national was flown into the United States where he will face justice and Patel accompanied Wedding on the flight to the U.S. how about that? This homeboy, he got the fucking director of the FBI to get on the private plane with him and bring him in anyway, he says in quotations at my direction. Department of justice agents at FBI have apprehended yet another member of the FBI's top 10 most wanted lists, Ryan Wedding, the one time Olympian snowboarder turn violent cocaine kingpin. This what Bondi said. They said this is a direct result of President Trump's law and order leadership under at potus. Criminals have no safe harbor. Director Patel has worked tirelessly to bring fugitives to justice. We are grateful to our incredible ambassador, Ron Johnson and the Mexican authorities for assisting in this case. Well, Till also said in a separate post on X that Wedding was the first fugitive added to the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list during his. His career, he said now during his career as a director. Now, less than a year later, he is in custody. Said Wedding is believed to have been in Mexico for over a decade and has been wanted on charges for cocaine trafficking and murder since 2024. Wow. That's crazy. The they said that the. This is the sixth top ten most wanted fugitive. FBI is captured within a year. And all the six of those y' all have been on the run for over 40 years combined. How the you get on FBI's top 10 most wanted list and don't get caught? I mean, they got Osama bin Laden and people who had armies hiding them, right? So anyway, let's. Let me tell you a little bit about wedding. Wedding, 44, was placed on the FBI 10 Most Wanted list in March of 2025. And y', all, I told you, use your skills, right? Translators, all that hard work, snowboarding to go to Olympics. Well, he transferred his into being a drug runner. And he's accused of running a transnational drug trafficking network that routinely shipped hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia through Mexico and Southern California to Canada and other locations in the United States. He is also accused or orchestrating multiple murders and attempted murder as a part of his drug trafficking operation. Right. Get in my way, I could just kill you. Wedding and 14 other associates were specifically accused of orchestrating the January 2025 murder of a witness who was shot and killed at a restaurant in Columbia. He allegedly placed a bounty on the victim's head, thinking the victim's death would lead to the dismissal of charges against him and the drug trafficking ring he heads up. And this could this. According to the indictment, which was unsealed back in November, they said the FBI has described Wedding as an extremely violent criminal believed to be responsible for the murder of numerous people abroad. Wow, that's crazy. The. Hey. Just last month, the FBI confirmed that Mexican authority seized $40 million in motorcycles owned by Wedding. And that news came more than after a month after Wedding was hit with additional charges and the raised the reward for his capture to 15 million. I'm in the wrong business. I mean, I could go to Mexico and I don't know how I get him out of the country, but $15 million, I can find a I can promise you so. But this wedding. I told you. He participated in the 2002 Olympics. Olympics in Salt Lake City. And now his ass is going to prison for the rest of his life. I bet you don't have any snow slopes in whatever federal prison you're going to, homeboy. So there you have it. I think that's pretty much the what I'm gonna do from the. The national stuff, other than, man, I hope everybody's staying warm. We are getting bfed by this and not best friends by this weather, right? Holy smokes. Thankfully, we have. We have generators, but I don't know. We will see. All right, let's see. It's time for family matters. Tell y' all about a dude named Derek Rosa who was. He was a teenager. Pretty sure we told you this. I told you the story years ago. But Derek Rosa, he was 13. And he had no love for his mother, who was 39 years old and her name was Alina Garcia, because he stabbed her as she slept in her bed in their Florida apartment back on October 12th of 2023. And so, you know, going. Going to court, right? Well, the Florida teen accused stabbing his mother 46 times. Nothing shows a little love and a little overkill like repeatedly do it with your hands, bang on the table 46 times to see what that feels like. That's your mama, right? She birth you. And anyway, he instead to go on trial, he pled guilty to second degree murder on Friday, January 16th. Now he's 15 years old, y'. All, whopping 15. Derrick Rosa, 15, was sentenced to 25 years in prison. And then in addition, he'll spend 20 years on probation. According to the Miami Herald. That is not a enough time to kill your mama. But bringing a court, and it's how it's supposed to be. Unlike Coburger up in Idaho who didn't have to actually admit what he did. But this little turd gets up, Rosa, and he says I'm sorry and that this is a sentencing. He said, that's it. He said, I'm sorry. And well, his attorney had more to say. Attorney says, I think that he is thankful to everyone that supported him and still support him. That's according to Rose defense attorney that's told People magazine. Railio says Rosa will go to a youthful offender camp until he's 21. After that, he will complete the remainder, sentenced in the Department of Corrections. So basically, I won't call it a hug a thug program because it, I mean, but he's 15. He'll be on the higher end at 17. In the 17, they'll transfer him out into the Florida State prison system. Yeah, well, he ain't gonna have an easy time of it because he killed his mama and he's. He's a young dude that somebody's gonna turn him out.

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.

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.

Rate cuts, money printing, balance sheet reversals. They call it policy, but it's really panic. This is end game economics, where hope replaces discipline and the illusion of control finally breaks. They're not cutting rates because things are strong. They're cutting because the system is cracking. Inflation's eating savings, the labor market stalling. Confidence in the dollar is fading fast. For decades, the Fed built a house of paper. Now they're striking the match that could burn it all down, leaving you to pay the price.

Terms apply and he's his attorneys basically says the same thing. He says I don't think the children belong in the adult system, but I think all things considered it was a strategic deal. Well, I guess I agree with you because you got him 25 years on what should have been a death penalty stabbed his mama 49 times but Rose was 13 when he stabbed his 39 year old mother, Elena Gasara. She slept in her bed in their apartment in Hale on October 12th of 2023. Her newborn daughter was sleeping nearby, but thankfully he didn't stab her. So but listen to this. This is the kicker my want to do the story so this is how dumb this idiot is in how much he hated his mama. The Quarantine Motion Tame up People magazine Rosa took photos of his mother's corpse after he killed her. And then he took a selfie with his hand covered in blood. So yeah to his defense attorney well you think it could get worse? Let me tell you this. First, he then sent a friend images of his mother's corpse in a pool of blood a gun and his hand soaked his blood soaked hand. The prosecutor said the friend thought Rosa was joking. But when he learned the images were real were real, the friend just couldn't believe it. He was in shock and disbelief. So Rosa was allegedly fascinated with Jason fories, the hockey mask killer from Friday the 13th and told friends he planned to dress as Jason for Halloween. That's according to local WTVJ. After he killed his mom, Rosa called 911 and confessed to the operator. So they said Quotations with today's guilty plea, Derek Rosa admitted what he had previously told a 911 operator and what he had confessed to police detectives that he murdered his mother. And that's court of Miami Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle the the pain Elena Garcia suffered from 46 I said 4946 stab wounds could only have been surpassed by the knowledge that the person killing her was her own son. She probably had fear for the baby too. But when Roses stole his mother's life he also stole so much of his own future. And during Friday sentencing, Rose's stepfather, Frank Ramos, told Rosa he was like a son. He's way more forgiven than I am. He said we were very close knit family. Your mom was a loving mother. Her death destroyed our family and changed our lives forever. Wow, crazy. Yeah, I just again, it just takes all kinds to make the world go around, you know, Planes, trains and automobiles. And today we're going to be talking about subways. And I know they're such a huge part of a lot of lifers lives, right? I've read every major city, New York City, Chicago, et cetera. The. Oh, it's a real motherfucker if you don't know where you're going. You get down there and they got, you know, now you gotta buy the tickets. Back then it was cash and all that. But the, it's like, oh, Washington D.C. i wrote them also the, it's, it's.

Everybody is hauling ass. It's like, kind of like being in an airport, but on steroids. Everybody's hauling ass and there's really no safety and whatever, even though they have cops. Well, going out to Bronx, New York now, you get in there and I've seen videos on what they call groping. Like people get on trains. It happened to me in Mardi Gras and stuff when you get in, crowds were so tight, people like grab you junk and you don't know what's going on, right. I mean you can't turn around, hit anybody because your arms are pinned down. And my subways aren't quite that crowded but you know you're going to bump into motherfuckers. They got the hanging straps and if you're lucky, you get a seat. If I'm sitting down and you're female and you get on, I'm going to stand up, you're going to get my seat because I'm a southern gentleman. But we're going to the Bronx. And a stranger slashed a 17 year old boy in the face with a box cutter. You know why? Because he accidentally bumped into him aboard a Bronx train. And it's according to the cops and law enforcement sources now the team was getting on the number three train at the 3rd Avenue and 149th street subway station in Mott Haven just before 4pm on Dec. 23 when he accidentally bumps into another strap hanger. Well, that shit happens. Those things speed up and they slow down, right? And then they, y', all, they got videos of this guy and the pictures. Well, the guy, he bumped into he is pissed. He goes to a race and he says why are you pushing us and then he cut the teen on the left side of his face with a weapon. Well the teenager was taken to the Harlem hospital where he's listening in stable condition and the assailant is still on the loose. And the police released an image of him and hopes tracking it down and they'll get him I'm probably sure by the time you're hearing this they got him. The let's talk about subways real quick. The the they said despite the jump at the year end of violence city Officials touted a 4% drop in major subway crime in 2025 compared to 2024 with robberies down 12.5% an all time low and shootings fall into 62.5% oh they filed they fail that much I was like me they if they shoot 62.5% of the people to get on the subway I damn sure ain't riding it again. But anyway the they're asking anyone you know has information on the hack or whatever call it yeah I'm pretty sure they got it by now but that's crazy. Just want to tell you about a little love you get on the subway you never know who you with or anywhere grocery store or whatever that I mean bump into them. I just happen to be carrying a box cutter. What does that say? That's definitely a weapon. All right let's talk about the and this really it's kind of a crime but I actually met these dudes in I was in Vegas working or I was guest speaker at a conference and I met the dude Dog the bounty hunter and all his crew. I think I think he's dead now and all that but I'll tell you in a second. And he had his sons working for him and his wife has the largest breasts I've ever seen. The anyway we met them at one of the functions they were pretty cool down there. A lot smaller than you would think in person but his son wanted to be a police officer and he joined the force in Alabama. Now I don't know how you get from where they were at to Alabama but Dog the bounty hunter's son Gary Chapman who was fired then reinstated from a police force in Alabama last year is now suing the department. He says the only dis they only discipline him to teach him a lesson for calling out a dirty cop. Well you remember Chapman's employment was terminated last year after his involvement in a fatal high speed car chase. But he was later reinstated and, but of course, he says he should have never been fired in the first place. So. Court documents obtained by tmz, Chapman alleges that the police department, along with Pricefield, Alabama Mayor Sam Heflin, used a tragic incident as an opportunity to smear his name and to get rid of him. Something Chapman says they were working on for some time. Chapin says it started when he filed a formal complaint regarding the unprofessional conduct of a fellow officer. The. You should do that, right? And like, if I. I catch an officer stealing, you got to do that. And. But boy, even, I mean, it's kind of the culture of it that when you do it, you're. You're. Even though it's the right thing. Today, you're blacklisted and you're blackballed. Yeah, I'm talking about minor stuff. I'm not talking about rape or murder or some like that. I mean, you rusting yourself, but you file a formal complaint saying a partner called a lady a. You're going to catch a little bit of blowback. So. Chapman says it started when he filed a formal complaint regarding the unprofessional conduct of a fellow police officer. In the papers, Chapman alleges the departmental leadership dismissed the complaint. Happens all the time. Questioning why he was so concerned with the actions of another officer and began to drudge up previously undisclosed minor issues to begin papering his personal file. Paper in y' all means like you want to just add as much as you can because you know you about to DX this first chance you get because he's going to continue to get complaints, and sooner or later, you'll get to hang his ass out. One of the documents. Chapman claims things escalated when he blew the whistle on an officer who intended to take a departmental K9 as his personal pet when he left the department. Right. That happened, y'. All. I mean, they. The. The canines I work with, they went home every night and slept with their handlers and when they got old enough to retire, that they or, you know, the department would give them to them, that that's part of their family. But they said when the tragic accident came along. Talking about the vehicle crash, Chapman says the mayor and police department purposely made him the face of it, thus vilifying him and caused him catastrophic reforation. Reputational harm. Chapter says he subsequently lost out on a promotion and has been unable to secure other employment in law enforcement because no agency wants to hire an officer whose name is national headlines for a fatal incident. Pretty sure he's correct on that. Well he's incorrect on that somebody Hiram just not the people that want to hire him or that you would want to hire him. Said he's asking for compensatory damages in an amount to be determined by the jury. Well I'm probably sure we'll stay tuned to that. The interesting though and it's all kinds of subcultures that go on within different departments. And look you go from one department I said I did like five in my career between corrections and ended up at the state police. And every one of them is like night and day on the politics and the that goes on inside and you just want to show up and go to work. You got to deal with all this jealousy and like that. Whatever. It's time for worldwide crime. Well, you know gambling is a big thing now.

Whatever. They got an app for every. Sorry. They got a nap for everything there is out there. Yes, too many to mention. But the. They all have. If you have a gambling problem, you know, call this or you can set budgets and they'll cut you off a certain amount. Well some people just doesn't help. Right. We just get carried the away and we're going to the uk. And a former senior UK National Health Service manager has been sentenced for stealing hunt the American equivalent of $166,000 in funds which he used for his personal use, including gambling. Now, according to the Crown Prosecution Service, the man, Alec Gandy, pled guilty to abuse of the position at the Wolverhampton Crown Court. The NHS Counter Fraud Authority financial investigation found that Gandhi's a hundred and twenty four thousand of the fraudulently attained money on gambling activities. That's, that's some pretty English speaking fraudulently tame money. He just stole it, right? And so he stole the money. He spends 124 war of I think 126 or 166 on gamma. They can even spend, steal the money and spend it on somebody that you love. Right. I'm gonna spend it on gambling. So I said the man, whilst in post at Dudley Integrated Health and Care NHS Trust took liberties, according to CPS filing, to create two fictitious temporary worker accounts. With these accounts he concocted a scheme using the names of acquaintances to submit invoices for public taxpayer funds, creating a closed loop of fraud. English terms he's stealing, he committed fraud. I mean he is stealing either way. But see, prisons are full of dummies, he makes fake accounts and whatever, he's a supervisor so he proves it. But between August of 2022 and December 2023, the court heard that Gandhi created two fictitious temporary workers using the details of his friend Matthew Lane and his ex wife Kaylee Wright, whose details were logged as a physician's assistant and a paramedic. Now, the trio of fraudsters were flagged to the NHS Counter Fraud Authority which found the abuse of power stealing in the heart of a difficult time for the health sector. Then that and they said that money could have funded much needed roles, obviously quotations. During Gandhi's interview under caution, he made a full and frank confession to raising the ghost contractors and producing the invoices. He also admitted to having a gambling problem. The 123000 pound job could have provided four nursing associates for a year, so they make like 30,000 a year and two community paramedics for a year or two clinical pharmacists for a year. Ben Reed, who's special prosecutor from the Crown Prosecution Service, said Gandy abused his position of responsibility as a public servant. While Lane and Wright knowingly participated in the scheme to facilitate this fraud. Wonder how much money they got. Gandy has been given a custodial sentence of two and a half years in jail for abuse of power in a position under the fraud act of $2,666,000 for two years. He's doing. $83,000 a year worth of time. So Matthew Lane was issued a 12 month suspended sentence for 18 months. And we mean he gets busted doing something that 12 months, he's got to serve 18. Right. And he was issued 200 hours of unpaid work community service after he pled guilty to money laundering offenses under the Proceeds of Crimes Act 2002. Now, Ms. Kaylee Wright received an 18 month community order in a 25 day rehabilitation activity requirement after also pleading guilty to money laundering offenses under the same act. Well, the head of operations at NHS Counter Fraud Authority, Ben Harrison, says our investigation with the support of West Mercia Police and the subsequent prosecution by the colleagues at the Crown Prosecution Service revealed a deliberate abuse of position with Gandhi exploiting his senior role to manipulate the NHS payment system for personal gain. Wow. Whatever times he did it and got away with it before they called his ass. Because there's no way, I mean, I guess they could go back and look at every invoice he ever approved. However many years he's been in his position. I'm pretty sure they just got him for what they could get him for. Shipped his ass off to prison. Maybe not, I don't know, but I'm sure they did their jobs. But 100, that's a lot of money to gamble unless you're doing like $10,000 a game or something. So there you go. All right. I'm going to end up with another. Y'. All. I always wanted to own a yacht and not a pimp super yacht and all that, like a 40 footer. And actually when I was at State Police, before I got in the podcast and in the defense consulting, well, I was doing some defense consulting, but before I got out on my own, I have as part of all the forums, you know, one people that own like 42 footers. And you went to pack and I research it every night. Couldn't wait till the day I got my 20 years in. Right, and sin knows all about this. We were just going to island hop and, you know, live on the boat for a couple years till we got too old to do it. Well, I'm pretty sure we missed the window on that. But the one Place I wouldn't have gone is Russia. I'm talking about we were going to like do the Caribbean and stuff in, in I would dive every day and spearfish us some fish and we have cocktails watching the sun go down and like that great dream. Right. Well, tell you about an American citizen who didn't have such a good dream and didn't have such a good ending. So an American citizen has been sentenced to five years in a Russian prison after being convicted of illegally transporting weapons. And this according the officials announced this on Monday. Let me tell you something, people bitch about American prisons. That's one of the other things I do watch this I don't watch cop shows but I watch like the world's deadliest prisons and shit like that because it interests me you don't want to go to a Russian prison, that you just don't want to go there. And so five years in Russian prison is like 105 in American prison. So. Charles Wayne Zimmerman received the sentence from a court in the Black Sea resort of Soy following the discover discovery of a rifle on his yacht in June. Now I'm gonna tell you something. I can promise you it's illegal to carry him into the different ports and but I can promise you my yacht or my 42 footer would have had a shotgun with the buckshi for safety reasons because a lot it's this a big deal those things getting robbed and people climb on board at night, they'll swim out to you and rob and rape people and yeah you got to know about that as, as a old detective like me put us in harm as well. You got to know about the good and the bad. But this dude, the, the Russian customs officials climbed on his and they found the weapon during the inspection when he arrived at the port. And according to a statement from the regional Court's press service, Mrs. Zimmerman told the court he had traveled to Russia to meet a woman he had previously contacted online. Dude's got his own yacht and that's they got Russian brides and shit. But Zimmerman argued that he had purchased the firearm for self defense and was unaware that it was prohibited to keep it on his vessel. Well, pretty sure he you was illegal I got. Or you just didn't do your research like I did. Yeah, you know, but they he's now, I mean he got five years in the, you know U.S. government is not going to swoop in and save your ass on that one. And in fact there's been no immediate comment from U.S. officials regarding the conviction. And Zimmerman is one of a few Americans who remain in in Russian custody after they've had a series of high profile prisoner exchanges with the United States in recent years. Well, guess what this is Inman, I don't think your assault weapon classifies as a high profile case with the U.S. government. You're the ignorance of the laws and they were excused just like who was it? Some basketball lady or something, had some weed in, got sentenced. I don't know if that was Russia or wherever it was, but you really don't want to give the fuck around Russia right now when they're in war with Ukraine. They invaded the Ukraine. The US has been supplying weapons to Ukraine in whatever, trying to negotiate peace talks and all that. I don't think that I would want to be an American who owns a yacht. Here's what they're not telling you. The after the, you know, the fall of the Cold War, which I was a part of the when I was an army or targets that popped up on the range were all Russian soldiers. Now they're all whatever desert dress people the but you the people that the powers that are the powers that be and Russia is no longer communists and but they are riddled with corruption and everything else. I'm just wondering who gets to sell what Ogliar gets to sell and use his yacht. Mass Serious My shit wouldn't have been considered. Yeah, y' all watch this. How long does your boat have to be to be considered a yacht? Here's an answer from moniink.com maybe it would have been at least 40ft. Although there is no official size of which a boat becomes a yacht, it is agreed that a vessel must have an overall length of at least 40ft. How long, how big or how many feet must your yacht be to travel the ocean from America to Russia? Here's an answer from salingeurope.com well, I guess I could have made it, y'. All. They're saying the vessel should be at least 35ft. That I'm not traveling across the ocean in 35 foot anything. And additionally a super yacht is over a hundred feet long while a mega yacht is over 200ft long. And I'll never have any of those. But that's it in true crime time for my bride to be back as soon as she can. The she was sick and I know it was like early last night she came in, it was like I got a headache. I was like oh that sounds good. And she disappeared. And when I went to bed, I always go to bed late, late, late. And I Go to bed. And she's not even in the bed, so I didn't go look for. She does that like she. Like she's going to disturb me or whatever. But when I go to sleep, I go to sleep, but it should be back. And I tell her, and I'm sure y', all, I'm. I know you are sending well wishes now. Tell her you wish her to get well soon. And in fact, my mama has been sick for like the last week up in Texas. So prayers for everybody that you. That you're healthy and strong and you prosper. Prayers for Hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for AO. Hashtag just Ms. Barbara Blunt. And y', all, if you can please donate something to the gofundme for the evidence room. I had them go back and change originally GoFundMe, which I'm not a big fan of, but the. I'm a fan of Ms. Barber and the GoFundMe didn't want them to list who the expert was. And I told Cindy, I said that I'm not giving any money to the expert is listed. Right. If I'm giving money, I want to know who it is. I want to know that this is not a bullshit scam. I want to know that we have an outside chance of getting Haley's case where we have evidence for. Put it in their face where they have to prosecute. Right? And same thing for Bradley and AA not giving up. There's. Don't mistake my quiet as a. Or, you know, as a. As a sign of giving up because it's not that away. I'm just not with the people. The look great people. So many great people I work with on this case and so many people. You know who you are, you're amazing. And I love y'. All the I'm just not going to do stir of the pot episodes because it's gotten to the point where, again, I'm not even gonna talk about anymore. It's like I told you on Saturday, so go back and listen to that episode. But as always, hashtag just for both of them. And it's. It's being worked. It's going to continue to be worked. Just you're not getting full length episodes anymore unless something happens. I love and appreciate each and every.
