Thank you for liking and listening and sharing and all that good podcast stuff. The talk about this real quick when we started doing this podcast, when I started doing this podcast back in early 2019, I think. First episode was in February. First week of February, there were 700 and approximately 750,000 podcasts total in the entire world. As Today there's over 8.4 million podcasts and we're just blessed, y'. All. You know, in the Apple rankings this week, which I haven't even looked at, I, I used to look at them every day. But we're all the way up to 119 as of Wednesday. So the number, number 119 and in true crime and number 50 and in all new shows, that's against NBC, CBS and Fox and, and everybody else. So thank you for liking and listening, sharing. It's hard to Believe no Louisiana boy, an old cop can get behind a microphone and tell stories and people from all over the world are listening. And sometimes I have to stop and remind myself. So. But it's because y' all and you know, we've solved cases because y' all working cases because of y' all and just truly blessed. I might take another minute to thank y' all and Patreon and convicts and subscribers. Thank you so much and just love you. Love you, love you. Yeah, y'. All. Hashtag Just for Haley. The GoFundMe page. Let me see where it's at today. The this is Ms. Barber, Haley's mom is once the evidence room and the professionals in evidence room to reconstruct Haley's crime scene. And they, you know, they have all the scientific methods and the things that I don't have to do. So. But it costs $10,000. All right. And so she's started a Go GoFundMe and it's on all our, all our social media is. It's called Donate to Justice for Haley. This is under gofundme Donate to Justice for Haley fund in an independent forensic view organize by. Hold on. I'm reading it. Well, just for Haley funding an independent forensic review. And I've read it to you before, but Y' all were at 43 of the goal so far, lifers have raised $4,251 out of the 10,000. And when Ms. Barbie gets to 10,000, the guy's going to start. So hopefully, according to the da, they're not going to do anything else unless they get some type of scientific evidence and they're not going to pay for it themselves because I guess because Ms. Barber no longer lives in the area and doesn't vote. I don't know how the fuck does that work, Right? So hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for AO. Keep calling in your tips. 313R L R C tip. Anyway, and I'm going to continue to work on it. Going to continue to keep doing what I do. A misconception is by a lot of folks, or the hope by a lot of folks is that I'm actually going to quit working the cases. I'm not. And still taking the tips, still running down things, still looking forward beyond a reasonable doubt. And to the people, the great people of Vernon Parish, I love you. Thank you so much for your support. And the. The reason, again, I'm not doing a weekly podcast on it. I mean, I will do podcasts on updates or if I need some help on some questions and stuff that come up. I'm I will certainly let y' all know and certainly when the rest are made and they will be made. The I will let you know. Right. So. So the But I just want to thank y' all for that and I'm not giving up, just not getting involved in the high school drama anymore. I mean, it got so far away. The people worried about other things, everything except for Bradley and Austin. They want to know about everything else. And that's not what the podcast was started for. All right, true crime time for on this day, January 29th, back in 2022, Sir Michael Morgan Jr shot and killed Isaiah Jones and injured a 17 year old in Tulsa, Oklahoma. And Morgan believed that Jones was the shooter in a separate incident that injured his friend. Morgan was also shot twice, was treated at the hospital. Morgan pleaded guilty to the crime of second degree murder and his ass went away for up to life. Right. Oklahoma. Let me look at my map. They do have the death penalty and it is active. So I guess they put him down to second degree. And that on January 29th on this day in Crime. Now let's get down to the business of telling some crime stories. Thank you again, Liam Marie, for sending in or sitting researching these stories and getting them to us. Right.

We'Re going to go out to the great state of Florida, tell you about a kind of bizarre story. On Friday, January 16, around 11:30am The Leon County Sheriff's Office said it was investigating a suspicious death. Right. Got to investigate them or you're supposed to investigate them until you previous to homicide or natural causes. And this occurred on the the grounds of Camp Richardson Recreation and Retreat center in Tallahassee, Florida. Now, when deputies arrived at the property, they found the victim with apparent gunshot wounds and pronounced her dead at the scene. Detective Detectives quickly identified Flav Rollins, 54, as the suspect and they were then told by the U.S. marshals Task Force that Rollins had been located and taken into the Leon County Detention Facility after a warrant was issued by the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office for an alleged homicide in Valdosta, Georgia. So this Rollins got around, right? And that same day the sheriff's deputies in Georgia were called to the 3200 block of Skipper Bridge Road about a report of an unresponsive mail and upon arrival they said this is the According to the Lounge County Sheriff's Office, they said upon arrival it was determined that the male was deceased with an apparent gunshot wound. The victim had had been identified as Walter Bo Pettiford of Valdosta, Georgia. Now investigators from the sheriff's office responded and identified the suspect as Rollins who is from Valdosta and Tallahassee. While Rollins was in custody, he admitted to killing the woman at the campground in Tallahassee. And then he kept on talking and he told the detectives information about it and he led them to the body of another deceased victim in the Apacholoa National Forest. And this victim, y', all was a pregnant woman who had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. Now Rollins is charged with two counts of first degree murder and two counts of possession firearm by convicted felon for the crimes in Tallahassee. And they say that they might have additional charges to file against him. All three victims were known to the suspect and Rollins is being held without bound bond and his public defender of course has responded to comments. So Mr. Rollins, you have really put the screw into yourself because I mean it's bad if you kill anybody but you, you kill a pregnant woman and you're in multi states killing people. And guess what, both Georgia and Florida have the death penalty and you sir are going to get your just desserts. So at least three all but just a lot more. Oh Lord. I'm going to tell you a story now. We're going to Ohio. This is a tough one. Monique Tepe and Spencer Tepe's family's members shared insight into how their kids are doing after the couple was brutally murdered in their Columbus, Ohio home by Monique's ex husband.

Right.

So after Spencer, who was 37 years old didn't show up to work one morning or on the morning of December 3, 2025, one of his co workers went to the couple's house to check on them. Right. Welfare check without the cops. Well, the friend called 911 and told the dispatcher that he could hear children crying inside the home. Their then 3 year old daughter and 17 month old son as well as their family dog were left inside the residence for hours before Monique, who's 39 and Spencer's bodies were discovered. The children and the family dog were all unharmed during the incident. Three weeks after the the deaths or the murders, the couple's brother in law Rob Mishle told People magazine that he believes it was a 17 month old child crying. When the friend stopped by the home to check on the couple, he said he was in the crib and he was unable to get out of the crib on his own. And also it was at a time he would have been well awake by this time. This one. Molesh said the couple's youngest child. And he added that the baby had likely not eaten for an abnormal amount of time. Malicious married to Spencer's sister added the couple kids, couple's kids slept in separate bedrooms and said from the time frame that we know 2:00am to 5:00am the kids would have been in their beds. So we assume they did not see anything. Well, Melissa went on to say that the children who are now living with family members don't fully understand what happened to the parents. Can you imagine that when mom and daddy coming right 17 month old? I'm sure they can verbalize a little bit, he said. I really don't think that a four year old can grasp what is hard for even us to grasp. And that's what he said about the child who just turned 4 years old. He said it's going to be years and years of processing now. Meanwhile, Spencer's cousin Audrey Mackey also said that the adult family members are still trying to navigate how to speak to the children about what happened. I said if the 4 year old wants to talk about it, we're to encourage that. And she said they've been working professionals and using resources to help the situation. Isn't it sad that we have to have professionals to tell you what to tell your kids or to tell kids when their parents have been murdered? Well, after an investigation was launched into the killings, police arrested Monique's ex husband Michael McKee in Rockford, Illinois on Saturday, January 10th. He was linked to the crime after his car was spotted near the couple's home on Savannah's footage. And once they confirmed the vehicle balling A. McKee, 39, they moved forward with the arrest. McKee was originally charged with murder. However, as investigations unfold, charges get upgraded. And these were they were upgraded to aggravated murder on Sunday, January 11th. So McKee made his first court appearance on Monday, January 12th and of course his lawyer entered a not guilty plea and said that she said that her client was waiving his right to an extradition hearing, meaning they could ship him from Illinois back down South. And McKee was extradited back to Ohio on Tuesday, January 20th, and he's expected to appear in Franklin Court in the upcoming days. Well, Mr. McKee, you got a problem.

I'm not big on New Year's resolutions and I don't sit around making promises myself I'm not going to keep. But I do believe in starting the.

Year doing things right.

That means sleeping when I can, eating decent, staying active and paying attention when something feels off. And for a lot of people, especially women feeling tired or foggy at the start of the year gets written off as stress or burnout. When low, iron can actually be part of the problem. Iron deficiency affects one in three adults, and the symptoms don't always jump out at you. It can show up as constant fatigue.
- [16:31]
Woody Overton
Even when you're sleeping enough, brain fog.

True Crime Narrator
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.

Woody Overton
Mood and physical performance.

True Crime Narrator
And 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 sucrosomil 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.

Back in Florida again today and or at least the sky was in Florida. A Florida truck driver who was found to be Behaving erratically in the middle of the road with witnesses saying he was lying on the ground and rolling around. Right. You roll up and the stage lying in the middle of the road, rolling around. Well, guess what? He turned out to be a murderer. And the cops say the trucker killed his cousin and stuffed the man's body in a compartment underneath his truck. Sleeping area in the back. He said he basically just stated he was taking a breather. And it's according to St. Lucie County Sheriff Richard Del Toro. That's what he said at a press conference Tuesday about olson Gene, who's 41 years old and he's charged with first degree murder and the death of Wendy mon Monacion, who's 32. Now, an unoccupied 2020 freight liner semi truck was found in the area while cops were speaking the Gene and he was questioned about whether he was associated with it. Like, is that your truck? Well, they said the Sheriff Doria said he lied initially about owning the truck. And we later determined the truck came back to an llc. They contacted the LLC and the owner of the business and he said, guess what? I leased that truck to Gene. So that was a bold faced lie and the fact that he had nothing to do with the truck. Now, while speaking to officers, Gene allegedly stated, I drive a waste management tractor. And he started to walk away from the cops like, I'm not talking to y'. All. Well, when asked where he was coming from, he claimed he was just jogging around and. And did his arms in a circular motion. And this is all according to the sheriff Del Toro. And when I asked where he lived, he pointed behind himself and said, on the other side. Well, none of it made any sense. Right. So cops took a closer look at the semi truck and they happen to see blood on the exterior. So they got a search warrant and they executed it on the truck to get inside. And more evidence of the crime was found. And the sheriff said there was blood all over. Right. So deputies then canvassed the area and they recovered a Palmetto State Armory, PA 15 rifle, a Springfield Hellcat handgun and handgun magazines matching the Springfield handgun. The firearms and magazines were located near a canal and appeared to have been intentionally placed there. According to sheriff, Inside the truck, the cops found a body that was later identified as Monacion of Coconut Creek. And he was confirmed to be Jean's cousin by family quotations. Inside a storage compartment beneath a sleeper, the bed area in the back, deputies located Monon. The medical examiner conducted an autopsy and determined the cause of death to be a single Gunshot wound to the back of the head. All according to Sheriff Del Toria. Well, Jean was taken into custody and police began investigating it as a homicide. And according to Del Torio, individuals related to Gene and Monacion told investigators that the two of them were riding together from Georgia to Florida. And Gene allegedly expressed safety concerns to family members about sleeping in his truck during stops along the route to Florida. And Monacion rode along just to keep him company. Right, Keep him safe. This. The sheriff said Gene was afraid, basically. And according to the wife, Gene has been kind of paranoid lately, acting kind of Iraqly. She expressed the fact that they were going to maybe to get some mental health treatment for him. So we believe Mr. Monacion, his cousin, traveled to Georgia with the intent of accompanying him back here to Florida to just basically keep him company. And for whatever reason he does, he decided to kill our victim. The Monacion's last contact with family was on January 15th. And this is according to his relatives. Gene was arrested and booked in the St. Lucia County Jail, where he is currently being held without bond. And police are still investigating what caused him to kill Marcion. And I don't know. That's kind of crazy, I guess. Meth is bad, probably, right? Y'. All. The little too much meth and paranoia. All right, we're going down to Miami.

This happened last year.
- [27:16]
Woody Overton
I mean, it happens all the time. But it happened last year during the super bowl in New Orleans, and a lady gave a news report from Kansas City or somewhere. Let's say a lady. A lady of the evening he went back to. She went back to his hotel room, she gave him some dope and killed him and then stole all his shit, right? Well, yeah, I guess if. If you're going to be a criminal, I don't want to say everyone's different. The. I don't know that. I don't know that I would have this career. How about that? And this pull a fear in you about what's in the world today if you're single and you're going to ballrooms to pick up people. So a Miami woman allegedly drugged several men she met at bars and robbed them of thousands of dollars and pricey luxury goods while they were passed out. So if you go into the bar room, try to pick up on a lady, maybe don't wear your Rolex and your bling bling and be wopping out, whipping out that stash of cash. And, you know, but you got $100 bill on the outside and 50 ones on the inside, right? Because Sarah Tavino, who's 39 would have got your ass. And now she's facing 10 criminal charges and four separate cases that coming from this burglary scheme. This according to the local 10 news in Miami. Tavino, who is originally from Massachusetts, allegedly swindled the men after gaining their trust under the pretense of consensual activity. Like, come on daddy, let's go back to your room and hook up. Right? So and it's all according to the Russ report, y'. All. So cops cuffed to be no on Sunday at Sugar, which is a rooftop bar in downtown Miami. And they discovered a baggie with white powder and a plastic cup with four pills and a vital a bottle of Jagermeister with powder. And it's all in the arrest report. And she told police that the liquid inside the green bottle contained mdma, otherwise known as ecstasy, the love drug or molly. That's what the kids call it now. But Miami prosecutors filed four cases against Tabino on Monday, three of which included surveillance video, a fingerprint match and a confession. All again, all from the police incident reports. They said the first incident occurred. This first one they know about. First incident occurred on October 26th when a man told the cops that a woman he met at the bar the day earlier had possibly stolen his keys. And they said he does not remember inviting her to his apartment. This is what a police officer wrote, an arrest report. The man told cops that after he woke up, he realized that over $50,000 worth of designer gold diamond jury suitcases, handbags and wallets, all which belonged to his fiance, had vanished from his condo. Homeboys and double trouble, right? But he said he didn't remember it. I'm pretty sure he struck up a conversation with old girl at some point, but she you talk about getting rolled, right? You wake up and all your shit's gone. So they got a fingerprint on a brown watch case which matched Tavano and she confessed that the clothes she changed into were stolen. She stole the suitcases and the suitcases were filled with 20 plus luxury bags. Now, in a separate incident, cops met a man on December 11th at the hotel who reported that over $34,000 have been stolen from him through unauthorized bank and crypto transactions after a cell phone and wallet disappeared following a meeting with a woman at a bar the night before. Now the victim, this is according to cops, the victim reported experiencing a severe blackout and falling unconscious. And just days later, on December 13, another man hotel reported to police that a woman approached him the night before at the bar and he later let her into his hotel room. At least he's admitting that he remembers that part. But then he said he consumed a drink and he began to feel ill and he experienced sudden nausea, weakness and dizziness. And then he lost consciousness and he. He reported that he blacked out. But after he woke up, the woman had disappeared. Along with his 38,000 dollar Rolex watch and 1500 dollars in cash. Right. That's what the bling gets you get. The man said he suspected the woman had drugged him. And he's described prolonged symptoms of nausea, extreme weakness, dizziness and vomiting that persisted for approximately a week after the incident. Holy. She's looking in. She didn't kill him. So the cops go back and they watch the surveillance video and guess what the good copy is. The detective immediately recognized the suspect from the two prior investigations. Except for the October 26th case. Tavana was hit with the bury of an occupied dwelling and second degree grand theft charges. And for the December 11th case, she faces charges of organized fraud and third degree grand theft. Then she was also charged with strong armed robbery, organized fraud and second degree fraud for the drugging and burglary on December 13th. And she was arrested on Sunday on charges of food or water poisoning, cocaine possession, in possession of a control substance. Right. That is not about you. Hate to have to explain. Yeah, I hate a thief. I always say that and always will. I mean, get a different line of work. Go be. Go flip burgers, go do something. Somebody would hire you if you would just be a good employee and not a doper who is knocking men out, flirting with them, pretty sure promising the hookup. And you get rolled literally. All right, it's time for family matters. Sometimes I talk about prison justice and, you know, or call out and say, hey y', all, this asshole's coming to your prison. Well, this one I think has a little bit of both. And we're going to love Lady Texas. And a man convicted of decapitating his wife right now. He's already been convicted and guess what? He's in his Houston county prison jail. But he ain't breathing. He's hanging. So Jared James Deacas, who's 24, Walla county, had pled guilty in 2024 to murdering his wife. I never heard this name. Poor A N G Y D s Angie ds. And it's according to the local ktrk. And she was found decapitated, head cut off, y' all in their home In January of 2023, just months after they were married in October. I guess you didn't get it work out your in the Dayton, you didn't have any marriage accounting. You just cut the head off. So they arrested him and Dickens was sentenced to 40 years and he was held at the Wainwright Uni unit in Houston County. And till he wasn't he was held he was found hanging by the neck in a single person cell on Friday in this court to the state death report. After he was found life saving efforts were made were not successful and Deacus was pronounced dead by the EMS staff just before 11am Let me see what this said say about this on the news.

We're going this it takes all kinds to make the world go around. And the an Alabama man has a string of charges has shocked authorities with the most recent claim alleging that he lit a camper on fire and tried to drown a police dog. You can't make this up, sir. Roy Lee Clowder was Booked into the Mobile County Metro Jail on Friday on charges of second degree arson, third degree criminal mischief, resistant arrest, revoking probation, and harming a police animal. And he appeared in court on Tuesday where a judge ruled that prosecutors have enough evidence to present the charges to grand jury. Now, Clowder, frequent flyer, no stranger to the courtroom. And in October 2024, when he was 37 years old, he was at a convenience store on Dolphin Island Parkway when a woman driving home from work stopped there. That's according to local Fox affiliate Wala. Now, according to the Mobile County Sheriff's Office, Clowder approached the woman and asked her for a ride home. And she agreed. I can't believe that in this day and time, a stranger walks up to you at convenience store and you're gonna agree to that. But whatever. Not. Not victim shaming, but she agreed.

Pulls out a gun and told her to move over. Like, get over, bitch. I'm driving. Then Clowder then drove them to a local church where. This is where it gets bizarre. When you get to the church, what you gonna do? You gonna pray? No, you gonna force her to marry you. And so Clowder drove them to the local church and forced the woman to marry him in a makeshift wedding outside the church on the steps. Afterwards, he continued to hold her against her will as they drove around the area. And he raped her. What a fucking moron. Now, the woman is said to have contacted a friend during the drive, and the friend called 91 1, which naturally made all the deputies respond, and they rescued her, and they convinced Clouder to release her. So he pled not guilty to the charges of first degree robbery, first degree kidnapping, and first degree sexual assault. So why is he out of jail? Mobile County District Judge Spiro Trigatos ultimately dropped the three charges in the October 2024 case, citing, least in part, not enough probable cause. Now, how in the fuck do you not have enough probable cause when you got a victim who told you exactly what happened? She kidnapped. He kidnapped her at gunpoint, forced her to marry her on church steps, rode around. She had enough time to call 911 and her. Or call her friend who called 911 and raped her. Wow. I don't. I don't get it. Now, you think that pisses you off? Check this out. The same judge did find him guilty of resisting arrest and sentenced him to four months in jail with credit for time served. So he walks out y' all on all the rape charges and everything else. So the, the judge actually said it is easily one of the top 10 craziest cases I've heard in my entire career. Well, you know what? You let him out. And you fast forward to December of 2025, when clowder was reportedly helping someone move a camper. Prosecutors claimed that he got into an argument with someone and ended up setting the motor vehicle on fire. Now, when deputies responded and they approached him about the claim, he hit and tried to drown a K9 that was in service of the Mobile County Sheriff's Office. And when you hit a K9, you might as well just punch the sheriff because or one of those deputies because they are going to give you a little bit of cement in your life, a little bit of real estate. And they booked him, y'. All. I mean, he never make me understand cases like that, people get out and I mean they're going to continue to be assholes. And you dance another day. Well, thankfully the dog is alive, right? So it's time for family matters. And this is going to be a point, probably the only point today that I'm glad Cindy is not in the room. Were going to Grafton, West Virginia and they had an 11 year old baby girl died due to intentional starvation. You ever been hangry? You ever been so hungry that you're sick to your stomach? Imagine being so hungry that you starve to death and you're 11 years old. It's not like you're one year old and you don't know what's happening. And this happened, y'. All. And her stepmother was arrested and charged with the murder. Now the local WDTV reports that Shannon Robinson is 51. And I'm looking at her pictures. She's never missed a meal in her life. Was booked into jail on January 13th for the February 16th, 2025 death. Now law and crime reports officers were called to the residence for a report of an unresponsive child. And the first responders found the child not breathing on the kitchen floor and wearing disposable pull ups. And it's all in the probable calls for warning, y'.

She appeared severely underweight. And Robinson told the first responders the child, who's not been named, had been experiencing flu like symptoms for about a week, but she had not sought any medical treatment. She also said the child was wearing pull ups because she had diarrhea. The child was transported to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Now what do you do? An investigation. And they started wanting her to death and went on y' all for almost a year. And a medical examiner determined the girl was just under 4ft tall and weighed 43 pounds and quotations. This is grossly inconsistent with her chronological age. The autopsy report which Police received on October 7, 2025 also concluded the child had head lice, protruding bones and a yellow tint her skin at the time of her death. She died from bilateral defeats, acute Brocano pneumonia with failure to thrive listed as contributing factor in this Cordon Altos report, y'.

The child had not been to a doctor since 2020 when she and her father began to live with Robinson. Now witnesses told investigators the child appeared sick since 2024 and her condition deteriorated until she was reportedly unable to walk on her own and she. She spent most of her time sleeping. 11 years old, y'. All. Local WKMZ reported that the child's father, Aaron Moran, was aware of his daughter's worst in estate but did not act due to fear he would be reported for child abuse or neglect him. He needs to go to prison too. Child was also starved as form of punishment if she misbehave. Robinson and child's father would deny her food while they consume meals in front of her. Robinson was a primary caregiver and Moran is not facing charges. Probably going to get him to testify, but he needs to be facing charges and she remains in jail and no bond has been set at this time. You know, when I read stories like this, I think about things like this. It reminds me of certain cases. And I'll never forget a little boy who had been raped so many times. It was horrible by his mom and dad in the. During the forensic interview when I thought I'd heard all the most horrible in the entire history of the world. You know, they keep. Because he's telling about another incident and another incident, another incident. That little boy. Now I've had contact with him. He's grown. He's a grown man, has a family of his own. Ended up making straight A's and everything else. His aunt and uncle took him in after this and raised him correctly. But back to it, you. I mean I've been sitting there listening for hours through closed circuit TV watching the examiner and the forensic interviewer Jennifer in the the shoot when he would get done, tell him about one rape incident. She was like, is there anything else? And he'd sit there for a minute and then he'd start with another one and then start with another one. But at the very end, I mean, I like I'm ready to go kill this dude, the bad guy and the mom and, and she said, was there anything, anything else? Then now this whole time he's been talking about the rapes and everything. And he, and I mean, wasn't talking excitedly about him. And he was like, you know, they were bad, but he wasn't crying stuff, right? And when she asked that, is there anything else that happened to you that really bothered you? He starts to cry and big tears start rolling down his face and he starts sobbing a little bit. And she said, it's okay, sweetie. Just, you know, tell me what it is. And she. And he said, I was always hungry. And he said it was, it was David Constance. He said that we had a whole bunch of us that lived in the house and whenever it came time for meals, he would make me go outside in the yard and pick up his cigarette butts. And by the time. Because he would sit on the steps all day long and smoke his cigarettes and he'd flick them out in the yard and he said by the time I got in to eat, there was never any food left. And he said, I was always hungry. And I talked to his aunt after that meeting and I told her, I mean I was destroyed mentally, but then. And I told her and she said, you know, that makes sense because I keep finding food hidden underneath his bed that he takes from the dinner table. And he was doing it because he never knew when he was going to get to eat again. But he didn't realize, I mean it was, it was fresh case Friday. He just started to stay with a uncle who were awesome people. But yeah, it's just starving somebody to death. No words, man. A kid, an 11 year old kid starving to death. I don't have anything else that I'm going end it on that. And I'm Woody Overton. You host a true crime. Time for this January 29th. I love and appreciate each and every one of y'. All. Thank you for liking and listening and sharing. Holl at you later. Peace.
