And thank you for everyone that is calling in and continuing to press for hashtag just for Bradley and hashtag just for for sure. Right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So it is the new year and it's Saturday and people are winding down from the holidays, getting ready to go back to work on Monday and all that good stuff.

[Cindy Overton]

That's true.

[Woody Overton]

And so I hope you all had a great one. And this is going to be the best year ever. It's going to rock. And let's get down to some true crime time for the third. All right, what you got?

[Cindy Overton]

Got a story out of Baton Rouge.

[Woody Overton]

All right. Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Red stick.

[Cindy Overton]

That's right. And on Saturday, December 27, an elderly woman was inside of her home and she had fallen asleep on her couch.

[Woody Overton]

Hey. To interrupt you as usual. The story we did yesterday on the shooting with a two year old got shot. They called the guy that did it.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, good, good, good, good.

[Woody Overton]

I figured they would.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. So she had fallen asleep on her couch and a man entered her home. She didn't know the man, and obviously it was.

[Woody Overton]

Doesn't sound good.

[Cindy Overton]

Without permission. And investigators said there was no signs of forced entry and they believed the front door had not been locked, that she had left the door unlocked. So the woman woke up to find a man on top of her. It says that she's elderly. It doesn't say her age, but any age. Woman waking up to a man on top of you is, you know, not a good thing. And he was attempting to sexually assault her. She immediately began screaming for her husband and her screams interrupted the attack. And the suspect left the residence before he could the assault could be completed.

[Woody Overton]

Right.

[Cindy Overton]

Law enforcement responded and began processing the scene. And deputies collected several items nearby. A cigarette, an unused matchstick and. And artificial flowers. And those items have been submitted for testing. And DNA evidence ultimately linked the subset the suspect to the crime.

[Woody Overton]

Right. It's amazing they got it back that past.

[Cindy Overton]

That's so quick. Right. Because you used to say how long it would take forever. So the suspect was almost immediately identified as Desmond campbell. And he's 35 years old. And he was arrested and booked already in the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. And he's facing multiple felony charges, including attempted first degree rape and home invasion. So luckily she didn't suffer any physical injuries. But obviously that emotional trauma, you know, is going to linger with her for.

[Woody Overton]

You wake up and somebody's trying to rape you.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Woody Overton]

I mean, every time you fall asleep on the couch, you're going to be jumpy.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. Every time you walk in the door, you're gonna like triple lock the door. And you're never that like a robbery.

[Woody Overton]

It's really. It's almost worse than a robbery because they steal your peace. Your home is supposed to be where you draw your peace and your strength from. And I'm thankful that they called him and thankful he didn't rape her. I bet he's got a past history, too. They just hadn't said it yet, so. Well, I'm glad she's safe now. We are going to. It's time for worldwide crime going to New Zealand. Auckland, New Zealand.

[Cindy Overton]

Our friend's son is traveling from New Zealand today.

[Woody Overton]

I saw that. I saw that. And happy for her, right? Do you see they had a big fire. I did place in Virginia.

[Cindy Overton]

I didn't see it. I called her. I was like, I just need to hear. I know you're okay because I saw your post. But my gosh, like, you know, they.

[Woody Overton]

Were having New Year's Eve celebration. They had a bonfire, like the family tradition, and caught the whole property on fire. I know they got. Their home didn't burn and nobody got seriously injured.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

But we've done a couple of these stories over the years, and the. The stupidity of some people is just amazing. And so police officers in Auckland, New Zealand, they were riding around in an unmarked car, right? Patrolling, doing whatever they do, right? And they're just driving along and all of a sudden they hear whoop, whoop. And they got red and blue. Blue lights are in the rearview mirror, right? And they were like, what the fuck? There's nobody else even on duty in this area. And the other problem was the car behind them was not a police vehicle. You know how they need.

[Cindy Overton]

Because they were police officers.

[Woody Overton]

No, it was. It had the lights and the, you know, the strobes and all that red and blue lights. But how else could you tell it's not a regular police car?

[Cindy Overton]

Well, it was not the make and model of normal police.

[Woody Overton]

It was a station wagon.

[Cindy Overton]

It was a party wagon up there.

[Woody Overton]

So they, they said. Inspector Kerry Watson said our officers were perplexed and quickly clocked the car. I guess that means figure it out. Clock. The car was not police official, and the vehicle behind them was a standard station wagon that someone had illegally fitted with police lights. Well, that's pretty bad.

[Cindy Overton]

That is very bad.

[Woody Overton]

What makes it even worse is the driver of the station wagon attempted to conduct a traffic stop on these cuffs.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, my.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

Like, pull over.

[Woody Overton]

Pull over. Well, the irony escalated when the impersonator realized the vehicle they were pulling over belonged to the real popo. Right. They said it took a few moments for the impersonator to realize the vehicle they were signaling to pull over was the police. And they quickly.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

Ran like a little.

[Woody Overton]

Bitch, tried to Evade the area to avoid being called. Well, now you're not going to outrun a police car and a station wagon. So the cops, they weren't amused by this dude's tactics or the suspect's attempt to escape. And they naturally ran right up on his ass and called him. And they initiate a real traffic stop.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Well, the suspect made one smart decision by not resisting the arrest. But officer soon figured out they had a bigger issue at a hand that this guy was a police impersonator. But what makes that. What makes it worse than that? He was drunk.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, gosh.

[Woody Overton]

And they went through the process. I don't know what theirs is. The field test. And they made him blow on the thing. And he believed more than twice New Zealand's legal blood alcohol limit. The. The Watts Watson. The chief said it's bad enough that this person thought it was okay to impersonate a police car. It's even worse to see impaired and dangerous driving. And they hadn't released his name, but he's 38 years old and the scheduled appear in manocal district court and he faced charges including impersonating a police officer and excess breath alcohol. You're about to be stinking. Anyway. The. That's just. Yeah. Dumb criminals.

[Cindy Overton]

Very.

[Woody Overton]

Who knows what they were going to do? Shake down for money in your station wagon and you drunk. I'm the under P.O. give me $5. I need to get. I need to get. Well, you need $10. I need a pack of Cools. Yeah, well, make it 1140. I want to pack Cools and a Thunderbird.

[Cindy Overton]

My daddy used to warn me about that. He would say, if you're gonna get pulled out, like if you have lights come up behind you and it looks like a police car, don't trust it. Pull into a lighted area.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, that was before they had cell phones. And now. Yes, now what you do, y'. All. If you have any suspicions it's not a marked car or whatever, call 911 on your cell phone and they will verify for you if it is or isn't a real cop. And just don't break any traffic laws. Just keep going until if. If you're scared, then you got stopped last week, right? You stopped because you knew it was a cop.

[Cindy Overton]

Motorcycle cop.

[Woody Overton]

But just call 911 and they will. They will get in touch with the cops and let them know that you're going to stop and blah, blah, blah, and be safe because there are out there that have. Do this. Yeah, I think this is probably like the third or fourth one I've done over the years.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

But there you have it. Worldwide crime.

[Cindy Overton]

Worldwide.

[Woody Overton]

It's time for family matters.

[Cindy Overton]

Taking us all the way back to November 13th of 2025.

[Woody Overton]

Six weeks ago. Right.

[Cindy Overton]

See. Oh, but we're going to lacrosse, Wisconsin, up in there. And there was a fire in at a residence. And at the fire, they discovered a young woman and her dog dead inside. And the victim was identified.

[Woody Overton]

Interrupt you again. That story we did on San Francisco. The guy got arrested, the cops showed up, and he had his own dog. He. It was a pit bull, and he strangled it to death.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, my gosh.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. And everybody saw it.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, the victim of this story was. Her name is Alexis Pickett, and she's 27 years old. And her autopsy later confirmed that she had been killed before the fire began and obviously ruled her death a homicide. Investigators quickly turned to evidence from surveillance video and cell phone data which placed another person at Pickett's home during a critical time frame. The person was Matthew Sierra, who's 38 years old. This gets interesting, right? I almost did this as a bad, bad professional, too. He was a college professor, and he was involved in a years, many years long extramarital relationship with Pickett and with whom they had a young child.

[Woody Overton]

Okay.

[Cindy Overton]

And according to the criminal complaint, friends of Pickett told detectives that Sierra had been upset about her new pregnancy. She was pregnant with his second child, and he wanted her to have an abortion, and she refused. So when she refused, he became threatening, even suggesting he would pursue full custody of their older child. And police alleged Sierra was on surveillance entering and leaving Pickett's home on the night of November 13, and that the fire was set after she was already dead. Sierra was arrested on December 16, and prosecutors subsequently refiled charges on December 26 after an earlier procedural dismissal. And he now faces multiple felony charges, including first degree intentional homicide, first degree intentional homicide of an unborn child, arson of a building, and mistreatment of an animal causing death because he killed her dog as well. And at the time of this report, Sarah is being held on a $1 million bond and is expected back in court in just a few days on January 5th.

[Woody Overton]

There you have it. I mean, time marches on. People keep being dumb. You know what I mean?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

But that's job security for us because we have no shortage of stories to report, and we're going to continue to bring them to you. And like this one I'm about to.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

Do, I'm going to be honest, when sleep's off, everything is off. And most of the stuff people recommend either doesn't work or leaves you feeling.

[Woody Overton]

Foggy the next morning.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

That's why I want to tell you about mood.com Mood is an online destination for federally legal hemp derived cannabis grown on small pesticide free family run farms right here in the us. And yes, a lot of people don't realize this. It's completely legal to buy online and it ships discreetly straight to your door. Mood makes products for different moments and different vibes, gummies, flour, edibles, pre rolls, and more. Whether you're trying to wind down, focus, relax, or just shut your brain off at night, the one I keep coming back to is is their Sleepy Time Advanced gummies. These aren't about getting blasted. They're designed to help your mind slow down and your body relax so your sleep actually comes. And for most people it kicks in in just about 15 minutes. What makes them different is how Mood combines federally legal THC with other cannaboids and functional ingredients so you're not just guessing how something's going to make you feel.

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

[Woody Overton]

Mood and physical performance.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

And iron deficiency can exist long before anything turns into anemia, which means you can fill it well before it shows up on paper. That's why I recommend Citol from far that's why I recommend Citrol from pharma Nutra. Citrol is a premium iron supplement powered by the pac. Citol is a premium iron supplement powered by the patented sucrose.

[Woody Overton]

Say it.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

Citol is a premium iron supplement powered by patent sucrose.

[Woody Overton]

Say it.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

Patented sucrosomial 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. Is 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. If you're starting the year and you're still feeling tired or foggy despite doing the right things, you're not alone and this might be the support your body needs.

[Woody Overton]

Right. And it's your ex wife and she's living in an 8, 000 square foot house. You're. You drive 500 miles, murder drive back. You really think you're just going to get away with it? Yeah, obviously I'm glad that they called him and I'm sad that. Not sad but I'm, you know, not happy that she's dead. But the, this dude, look at him, you know, he shot and killed her in Pine Top, Arizona. They said investigators search properties, vehicles and trailers. They were connected with abatty family on December 2nd in El Centro. This guy's 63 years old. And as the investigation continues, deputies say information and evidence led them to believe that Michael Abaddi had traveled from California, Arizona shot and killed her and then like they said, immediately went back. A Navajo county grand jury indicted Michael Batty on Tuesday and deputies got arrest warrant for him and they arrested him in el Centro around 3:30pm and he was booked into a California jail on first degree murder charge. But they're going to extradite him back to Arizona. Yeah, right. Because that's what he's. Look at Arizona. Yep. Arizona's got the death penalty so. And of course they, you know, the sheriff talks about extending their condolences and everything else. But Michael Batty, he comes from a long line of farmers and the family name is tied to farming enterprises, scholarship funds and leadership and local boards and groups. And he and Carrie were married in 1992 and split up in 2023. And she had filed for divorce and proceedings that were pendant in California at the time of her death. I guess he didn't want to share. Share the farm. No, no. E I O. Quick crack. What is that with Old McDonald? Old baddie. Well, you just Older baddie no longer has a farm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What you got three fur. It's time for Family Matters.

[Cindy Overton]

So on December 29th, authorities and prosecutors in Pennsylvania revealed some new developments in a disturbing case involving a couple accused of living with a decomposing body inside their home while collecting government benefits intended for the deceased relative. So according to reporting by Us Weekly and Smart News, a Pennsylvania couple accepted a plea deal this week in connection with the charges tied to the shocking discovery. Prosecutors have alleged that the pair continue to reside in the home and accept public assistance, including federal and state benefits, in the name of the deceased relative whose body was inside their residence.

[Woody Overton]

Nice.

[Cindy Overton]

Law enforcement officials first became aware of the situation after concerns were raised about the relative's extended absence and uncollected mail. And then that led to a welfare check.

[Woody Overton]

There you go. And first one in 2026 were reported on.

[Cindy Overton]

Right. And that welfare check led officers to discover the body which had been decomposing inside the home for an extended period of time. The couple was arrested and charged with multiple crimes, including fraudulently obtaining government benefits and concealing a death, among other possible criminal counts. This week's plea deal means they have agreed to plead guilty to some of the charges in exchange for sentencing considerations by prosecutors. So that, I mean, I know I always say I wish people would just like admit guilt. And now the more and more I read stories, I realize that their admission of guilt often lowers their sentence and gives them the possibility of getting out and doing it again. So it's just like this double edged sword and it makes me go back to our justice system isn't perfect like you always say, but it's, it's the best. Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Yes, it is. And you know, the wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn. And just like in Bradley's case, man, sometimes you gotta slap a little gumbo or grease on the wheels and, and make them move forward. So I don't even know. So we've, we've done a lot of stories about these squatters and homes and I told y' all and you know, don't let anybody spend a night's house for more than three nights in Louisiana because then they could just. You got to get a court order to get them out.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

Right?

[Woody Overton]

Well, you know, it really has become a big deal and all over the country, so naturally there's entrepreneurs out there and, and they want to, I mean, figure out making a buck, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, you got a squatter and you can't get them out of your house. I can fucking help you, you know. No, and this way, this guy wants to help in a really unique way. He's got, he's got an ad. The, the name of his is ASAP Squatter Removal. That's the name of his company. And I'm gonna read you his ad first and I'll tell you the story.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

But let me tell you the rest of the story.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

So this dude, it takes a unique approach. I mean if I was going to go remove squatter people, they're there illegally, I don't really think they're going to call the cops. I might just go put a gun to them to get the out, get the people to pay me some money. I don't know. They hadn't really thought about it a lot. But this guy's approach is unique. He carries a what?

[Cindy Overton]

Well if I kept thinking if I was going to do it, I'd throw some gas like some whatever that on the people in the. In the home and lock them in. What do you call that stuff? Well, whatever.

[Woody Overton]

What do you call Tear gas?

[Cindy Overton]

Tear gas.

[Woody Overton]

You're talking about like, like gasoline?

[Cindy Overton]

No, no tear gas in the house. And make sure they can't get out.

[Woody Overton]

These motherfuckers trying to get their house back. Not burn it down.

[Cindy Overton]

No tear gas.

[Woody Overton]

This guy would. Didn't even think of that.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

He uses a sword. So a sword wielding man is offering his services to homeowners in Northern California who won't help evicting squatters from empty properties. On the official ASAP squad removal website, owner James Jacobs claims he has a 95 plus success rate and he leverages his combat training and mixed martial arts experience to remove squatters from vacant properties. This credit that the Oak Oakland side newspaper report on this anyway says we are the only squatter removal service that actively defends your property. While others rely solely on law enforcement relationships, often leading to delays and failed removals. We bring real world combat training and experience to the table.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh my.

[Woody Overton]

Our team leader has over 20 years of mixed martial arts expertise, advanced melee weapons training and four years of NRA and USCCA certification, ensuring both strategic and physical preparedness for any situation.

[Cindy Overton]

Karate Kid is there.

[Woody Overton]

Exactly. In the interview with the Oakland side he had this actually gave a newspaper interview. I guess any publicity is good publicity. In an interview with the Oakland side, Jacob said his experience of martial arts was unfamiliar to most squatters when it comes to evictions. He's jumping there.

[Cindy Overton]

I know. Doing the bird.

[Woody Overton]

He says the average squatter has no melee experience and he told al explain that he views squatting as theft regardless of the housing crisis and homelessness in the East Bay area. He said I'd much rather make a squatter homeless than have a landlord lose their property. Well Jacob's website further added that squad removal in the area can be unpredictable. It claims some groups operate as organized crime which he said was prepared for with professional grade tactical gear. The gear includes firearms, ballistic full body armor, flashbangs and smoke grenades and Sydney's favorite tear gas and gas mask and custom ammunition and tactical gear.

[Cindy Overton]

How is this legal?

[Woody Overton]

I'm quite sure it's not illegal but continuing in quotation says with ASAP squad removal you're not just hiring a service, you're securing your property, your investment and your peace of mind with professionals who are ready for anything. Well the Oakland's a side paper they dig a little bit deeper and they confirmed a recent eviction which was completed by Jacobs in Oakland earlier this year. But he declined to provide the outlet proof of other evictions claiming he signed non disclosure agreements and that his attorney advised against provide further information concerning legal proceedings. Pretty much meaning the motherfucker gonna catch a charge. Right. And that you know, if you're a homeowner and you hire somebody to go in there and karate chop people with a sword, that's probably not legal but.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

Videos posted online by Jacobs in the past year show him working at several.

[Woody Overton]

Properties including one titled quotations another squatter removed and tour of a squatter property mine this dude's making bank. Evidently he serve his services come as California faces a pronounced housing crisis which has seen rising rents and housing costs and a dearth of new construction price out of many residents. Home values in the Golden State are among the steepest in the nation and the state has among the highest rates of homelessness according to the Public Policy Institute of California. The housing price in San Francisco are so high that a new housing company has rolled out stacked sleeping pods which you can rent for 700amonth in an attempt to avoid the city's homeless crisis.

[Cindy Overton]

$700 a month?

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

Yes.

[Woody Overton]

You get a pod with beds in it, I guess.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh my God.

[Woody Overton]

Get the out here.

[Cindy Overton]

I mean how is that even.

[Woody Overton]

I. I don't know. Affordable? I don't know. But let me tell you what's really up. Under California law, squatters can acquire the title to a building after five years which is typically much faster than other states. I can pretty sure you we have no law about that in Louisiana. But in a statement to Oakland side the Oakland police department said it handles calls about squatters by responding to all issues that locals report and our officers will respond to investigates the nature of the call. If our officers determine this is a landlord tenant issue the case will be referred to the Almeida county sheriff's office for further investigation. That's that they they going show up because and like I've had to do and say sorry can't do here this a simple matter now yeah so in anyway this dude let me see if I the and I wish I had the audio to play this is so funny well I don't have it but the you can't blame a brother for making a living I mean thank God he's got 20 years of Kung fu. Thomas Davenport, my attorney is like a black belt Kung fu that's a new.

[Cindy Overton]

Service Tommy can offer.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah yeah Tommy can kung fu's people up in Alexandria get them out.

[Cindy Overton]

It is the second state city in the country.

[Woody Overton]

Oh God.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't doubt that Tommy did a post about that.

[Woody Overton]

I saw that yeah love my people in Alexandria but I don't love Alexandria.

[Cindy Overton]

How is 700amonth for a pod if if you affordable well it's cheaper than a hotel room I understand that but still set if I mean maybe you're homeless.

[Woody Overton]

You get a bunch of your homeless.

[Cindy Overton]

Buddies and you all split it dinner time.

[Rebel.com Advertiser]

It's where little moments are cherished with.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, there's a lot of sanctuary cities there too.

[Woody Overton]

I don't know about all that. So the what you got? It's time for effed up professionals. It's time for family matters.

[Cindy Overton]

We're going to Tennessee.

[Woody Overton]

Love my Tennessee.

[Cindy Overton]

There's a first grade teacher that's facing serious criminal charges after her estranged husband reported after her estranged husband reported alleged abuse involving two of their children. According to reporting from the Chattanoogan, Heather Petsch was arrested on Friday, December 26 and charged with two counts of child abuse. The investigation began earlier this month and on Friday, December 12, Pet's estranged husband contacted Chattanooga police department.

[Woody Overton]

Used to live there. Great, great, great town.

[Cindy Overton]

That's why I kind of hesitated after I said Chattanooga's after picking up two of their children from her home. He told officers he noticed scratches and scabs covering the children's hands, and the children told him their mother had caused the injuries. The estranged husband also told police he had previously reported abuse multiple times to departments in Dunlap and Marion county, but said no action was taken. He further reported that the couple's oldest child already lives with him, explaining that the child does not want to be around his mother.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

Court documents reviewed by the Chattanoogan details the incident that led to the most recent charges. The two younger children told investigators they were with their mom in the parking lot of Ruby Falls when her cell phone slipped.

[Woody Overton]

Because I've been there too, and no, it's a big tourist attraction where you go inside the caves and shit.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay. And they were in the parking lot and her cell phone slipped behind her in the backseat of her car. And according to the children, she began yelling at them to retrieve the phone and as they attempted to do so, she pinched and scratched them.

[Woody Overton]

Okay.

[Cindy Overton]

And one child reportedly tried to escape the situation by getting out of the car. Another child told officers that she bit him three times when he tried to push her hands away. Both children told authorities that the abuse bit the child.

[Woody Overton]

That's unique.

[Cindy Overton]

They said that the abuse had been happening for years and it occurred about once a week. Police this is a little bit long, but police documented visible scratches, red marks and fingernail shaped impressions on the children's hands when they spoke with officers. And according to wtvc, the couple's eldest child also reported experiencing frequent abuse from his their mom. Following the report, the estranged husband filed for emergency custody and petsch the mom is scheduled to appear in Court on January 27, 2026. And as most recent reports, it's unclear whether she has entered a plea or obtained legal representation. She's employed as a first grade teacher at Lookout Mountain Elementary School and officials have not confirmed her employment status following the arrest. And under Tennessee law, child abuse charges vary wildly depending on the severity of the offense and the age of the child. And sentencing can range from a class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 11 months and 29 days in jail, and the case remains pending. She I didn't put as the effed up professional. I put that because it has been reported a couple times. Her abuse has been reported a couple times and nothing's been done about it. And she's a first grade teacher and she's going to do this to her own kids? What is she going to do to a classroom full of Six year olds.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Well whole bunch of people are going to be in a world of shit because when you report as you know, they have to go out by law and investigate. If they didn't, that's on them. And if they did. And maybe she's condom out of it.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

But if you're biting your own kids, and maybe this is a child custody case.

[Cindy Overton]

Maybe.

[Woody Overton]

But if you're biting your own kids, I mean bites hurt. I just remember when I was a little boy, I bit my sister and she told my dad and my dad held me down and got my sister and said bite him back. Well, I barely bit my sister. She drew blood.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

On me and I don't think I'm. Well, I can't say I haven't bitten people since because I have been a couple people, you know, in, in dire straits. Like the crackhead had me down, was about to kill me or meth head on the 4th of July. I did his thumb off.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

With the. That's crazy. Right? So. Well, I'm going to. So let's see what I'm gonna classify this as. We're gonna do our second welfare check of the year.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

Story. But it is, I think it's this. It's time for family matters, y'. All. We keep doing holiday stories because all the happens in holidays, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

The one good thing, you know, most cops or this week coming up would get to catch their breath for hopefully for a second because people got to go back to work and they're done partying. They spend all their money and all that shit, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So we're going to Texas. And they say the residents of a Texas town have reacted with shock after four people were found dead inside their home by the cops on Christmas Eve. Right. So quotations. We had our garage open and we had people in the yard celebrating and we're laughing and we're eating and we're having a good time and something like this is happening right down the street. That's according to neighbor Stephanie Turner who lives in Terrell in North Texas. And through there a lot, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yep.

[Woody Overton]

According to the trail police department Officers responded at 5:29pm on Wednesday to a residence to conduct a welfare check. And when they got there, they went inside and they found four people who they pronounced dead at the scene. Well, they updated on Monday and the deceased were identified as Philip Dale Humphrey, who was 66, Sherry Lynn Bostic, who's 62 and a 12 year old boy whose identity was kept anonymous on the request of his family and I don't know who the fourth one is, but investigators determined that each person died a gunshot wound. The fourth body was identified as Casey Dale Humphrey, 38. This why who sustained himself inflicted gunshot wound, according to the police then they didn't give any more information on the relationship between the victims or the circumstances that led to the shooting. And it's an active, ongoing investigation now. Turner told NBC of Dallas Fort Worth that her son and other family members were playing outside their home when police first showed up. She said they weren't sure what it was, but we just knew that it wasn't right. And she said that others in the neighborhood were in shock at the horrific incidents. This is a really good neighborhood. People love on each other here and all that good stuff. Well, people love on each other everywhere and next door, you know, you never know. Goes on, goes on behind closed door doors. Another lady, Catherine Limmer, that was preparing food when she looked out her window and also saw police cars everywhere. She and her husband found out further details the day after. And she says this was the day before Christmas and their family had Christmas without them. How could you go and come outside every day and look at the house and know what happened? It's kind of mind boggling really, and I just can't grasp it. She said she's been in contact with a family member of the four victims and they're trying to find understanding in the tragedy. This is going to separate their family. This is going to tear up their family, you know, because nobody knows why, nobody knows how or what, what caused this or brought this on. All they know is they got family members that are gone and every time they think about celebrating Christmas or even Christmas Eve, these people are going to go through some trauma. Well, I can guarantee you, ma', am, you are absolutely correct on that point. Right. I mean, this tis a season. The. And they're all dead.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, that's just right. You don't know what led to it. There's nothing that was reasonable that could have led to it. I mean, it's just emotions.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, absolutely correct. Right.

[Cindy Overton]

I saw TikTok last night and this woman started this thing in her neighborhood. She lives in a large neighborhood and I don't know where she's at. Somewhere in Alabama or something like that. And she got an inflatable Christmasy dinosaur thing and went to her Facebook page and said that she wanted to start a thing where people go and steal their. The dinosaur and take it to their house and then the next person finds it and it has like, it got to where it was. They people were riding down the street with the dinosaur in the car. It was stole, stole, it was stolen. It was stuck. Stolen hundreds of times in like a four week period. And whoever had it at midnight would win like a midnight on New Year's Eve would win like a prize, of course, and bragging rights. But there was old people doing it, young people doing it, and people were mending it because people were going up and like ripping it out of the ground. And its electrical corner cord was torn. It was just like a really sweet thing and got the, the neighborhood really excited about Christmas. And this woman had older kids that were kind of not like in the Christmas spirit anymore. And it kind of invigorated that in them. They were kind of proud that that was their house and their dinosaur traveling around. And it was like a really sweet thing for, you know, stealing something during Christmas time and making it fun and community.

[Woody Overton]

Well, since you're talking about moms and stealing and all that, I'm gonna do one more story. It's time for family matters. It's time for worldwide crime and situ for and I think it might include a third welfare check. So I pretty sure we told you a little bit about this way back when. But a Utah mother who abducted her four children and brought them to Europe left behind a delusional note and a to do list this court to the cops.

[Cindy Overton]

A to do list?

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. In late November, Alicia Ann Seymour, who's 35, took her four children to Salt Lake City. I have a lot of issues with this whole story, but I'm telling you in a second. She took her four children to Salt Lake City International Airport and boarded a one way flight bound for Amsterdam and then they continued to Croatia. Now, officers from the West Jordan Police Department have charged Seymour with four counts of custodial interference and removing a child from the state, which are third degree felonies. According to ABC4 in Utah. Now, the father of the three of the three of the four children, who's Kendall Seymour, has created a GoFundMe to help with the cost of flying to Europe to bring the children home. And he says, and this what we'll talk about in a second, he says Ellie forged passport documents for the kids, left behind a note dictating a delusional message from God promising her she would be in Italy by Christmas. In a to do list that mentioned shred paperwork, destroy identifying photos, throw away phone, and purchase a prepaid phone. Before we go any further, I want to talk about that. The, you know, this, you can't even get on the plane with your kid and fly across the country.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Without both parents consent.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

How do you forge passports and. And fly to Amsterdam and Croatia?

[Cindy Overton]

I don't know.

[Woody Overton]

I don't either. So in a to do list, right, he says, I know someone who has dropped off in a foreign country at 8 years old where they didn't speak the language. And they strongly suggested that we personally go pick them up wherever they are found. This will minimize the trauma. If we can be there to get them asap. After mom is arrested, they will feel safer and will not suffer as much wondering what is going to happen to them. And so their mom and to their future, he's talking about, like, once they arrest her, Right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So officers from the West Jordan Police Department conducted a welfare check at Alicia's home on December 2nd and found the door unlocked and no one was home. Police also alleged that Alicia was uncontactable since November 29, and they said they further alleged she discussed forging passports and leaving the country with her former boyfriend. Well, let's go to the airport, see what happened. An airport footage showed Alicia and four children boarding a flight while leaving a voicemail to one of her ex husbands saying she took the children because the end of times was coming.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh.

[Woody Overton]

Utah Department of Public Safety issued an endangered and missing advisory on December 10th for the four children. Landon Hall Seymour, who's 10, Levi Parker Seymour, who's 8, Hazel Ray Seymour, who's 7, and Jacob Kurt Brady, who's 3. All remain missing. And Kendall added that his ex wife has not been found, but said the FBI was working hard to bring the children home as soon as possible in quotations. Any funds received in excess of flight costs will go towards therapy needed because of this traumatic experience. And my genuine hope is that kids are found quickly and we can pick them up while they're still. While they still think they're on vacation.

[Cindy Overton]

You're right.

[Woody Overton]

That's what dad says.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

I'm pretty sure your mama. You don't think you're on vacation when mama's saying, God is telling me I got to do this?

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly.

[Woody Overton]

And hopefully they will get them back soon. And I don't know. I don't know. I had a case one time that I don't think. I never told you this.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

The.

[Cindy Overton]

The.

[Woody Overton]

Mother went to like. Oh, God. What's the name of the country anyway? Was Small, Small European country. And this is early 90s and this past. And the dad wanted the kid back. She hauled ass and got out the country with it and wanted the kid back. And we were actually gonna. He was gonna pay us to go there and kidnap the kid. Yeah. Flat back.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And. But it didn't work out.

[Cindy Overton]

Did the kid. Did he get the kid back?

[Woody Overton]

I don't know. Yeah. I just thought about it because I'm reading that story.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

But like we were, you know, seriously, like, planning, like this is the town they're in.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Take them across here by ferry on this lake and da, da, da, da, da. And didn't work out. I don't remember what happened because I'm.

[Cindy Overton]

Old as you usually remember most things that I didn't.

[Woody Overton]

I know it didn't come to fruition.

[Podcast Host / Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Remember the name of the country. It's like either Thonia or some. I can't remember. But you know what? I hope that dad gets it back. I'm gonna talk about the GoFundMe thing real quick because it's coming up on. On Ms. Barbara's case this week. Haley's hashtag just for Haley. The. I have. We had a really bad experience with it. We never asked in real life for a crime directly that people go do a GoFundMe for anything. But somebody had started. One one of the lifers did for something and they got scammed.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And. And then they charge so much for the fees and. And all this to handle it. And. Oh yeah. Like that couple did. The homeless man supposedly did. Whatever. They got it. They raised 300 some thousand and they ended up. They gave him like 25 grand. They. They just pocketed the money. And I would be leery of doing it just because of. Like that. But I guess it does help certain people. Yeah. And certain people, like in Bradley's case, his mother allegedly, you know, set up you had some rare form of disease and was gonna die and all this and doing those kind of fun me things. And she's healthy as a horse.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh. Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Allegedly. So I don't know the. I. I don't really know. Maybe some of you lifers can tell us success if you've had with GoFundMes.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

They. I just remember being really taken aback about how much they charged and all that stuff. And I know there's a lot of scammers out there, but I think what. What Ms. Barbara's gonna tell y' all about in Haley's case, I think is it's legit. I've researched the dude as much as I could and. But you also, you know. You know that people can put themselves out there and anybody can develop a website and stuff like that, but this guy's has actually done some pretty famous cases too. So I think he's legit. He's expensive as fuck and. But you know Haley, Ms. Barbara, God bless her, the mom that never gives up. Just like money that would just like you wouldn't. But in. Anyway, that's about all I got for today.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Saturday, right? Yeah. And the. You got anything else?

[Cindy Overton]

I do not.

[Woody Overton]

All right. We love y' all and thank you for everything. Love you. Love you, Love you. Thank you, Patreon Convicts. And that's all I got. And I'm Woody Overton.

[Cindy Overton]

I'm Cindy Overton.

[Woody Overton]

We'll holler at y' all later. Peace. Foreign.
