Hello everybody and welcome to True Crime time for Friday, January 30, 2026. And there's no Woody today. I know that we keep saying that we are extremely busy and if I'm here, Woody's not. And we're kind of, you know, sharing the recording time and then I'm editing and publishing the episodes while Woody goes on to do what he's working on. But I think you are going to be very interested in hearing what Woody's been working on and I'll leave it at that. I also have a few things to tell you, but they are things that I want Woody to actually mention to you and tell you about and I'm very proud of him and I'll leave that at that. So I'm going to get started with this day in history. January 30th of 2004, Avery Whiteskonk was seen for the last time. White Skunk's family reported his disappearance. The next day. His body was discovered on the northern ridge of the Ute Mountain Tribe reservation almost two months later. And there were signs of foul play on his body. An autopsy later determined that the cause of death was homicide. And the FBI is currently searching for any information that could lead to the arrest of the murderer. So I did a quick search in hopes that potentially White Skunk's murder had been solved. And in fact, it has not. The FBI offered a reward of up to $10,000 for info leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder of Avery White skunk. So there's really not a lot of information on this case other than what I reported. And if you do have any information, please notify the FBI and let's get this cold case solved. Before we get into our heavier stories, here are a few brief items from the lighter side of the police blotter. A local artist was found dead in his home. Details are sketchy. Two thieves broke into a home on Maple street and stole a calendar. They each got six months weight loss pills were stolen from a pharmacy last week. Police say the suspects are still at large. Two teenagers have been stealing wheels off police cars. Police say they are working tirelessly to catch them. Insurance companies are warning that if someone breaks into your home and steals your blanket, you will not be covered. Police say someone broke into their station and stole all the toilets. They have nothing to go on. A man was arrested for stealing a dictionary. Police say they have no words. A burglary suspect fell asleep at the crime scene. Police say he was clearly ready for arrest. A man broke into a music store and stole all the instruments. And police say there are no leads. On a darker note, someone stole all the light bulbs from a warehouse. Authorities say the situation is still dark. And then a thief stole a truck full of Viagra and police say he is posing as a hardened criminal. A man was caught stealing a mirror and police say he's currently reflecting on his actions. Police arrested a man for stealing road signs. They say he went the wrong way. And finally a man stole a box of soap from the store. It appears he made a clean getaway. Well, that's just a funny to kind of, you know, I don't like the darker side of things. Well, we're going to get started with today's episode Beast Mode. We're going to Florida, Hillsborough county and Edwin Capisano was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals after turning himself in. And he did this on January 16th of this year. Edwin wasn't just any person, he was actually a former police officer and he's now facing charges after being accused of killing his ex girlfriend's dog. On Friday, January 16, Edwin turned himself in. As I said before in Florida, an arrest warrant had been obtained in response to a report made about him. In December of 2025, Campisano was 22 years old, poisoned his girlfriend's dog while she was on vacation. The girlfriend's name was Paula Fernandez and she had a three year old Maltese poodle named Milo. He would continuously tell me that he didn't like Milo, but I didn't Think he would ever do something like that? Said Fernandez in a conference on January 23. Fernandez found out about Milo on May 30, 2025, when she received a call from a neighbor who had been checking on the dog while she was away. Paula said, I'll never forget that call. I'll never forget that day. I just felt my heart drop and it just didn't make sense because I made sure to say bye to him in the morning before our flight and he was perfectly fine. He was happy. She was speaking of her dog. The dog owner and her family were away for around a week. Paula continued her quote, by the time we got back to the house, we came home to an empty house when we should have come home to Milo running up to us, greeting us. In addition to that, there was blood on the floor by the door that we had to clean up because Milo had been vomiting. She recalled that Campisano bought flowers for her family as they were grieving for Milo. She says, at that time I thought it was a sweet gesture, but now that I know that he's the one responsible for Milo's death, it's a pain that you can't even describe. Sheriff Chad Kronester said at the press conference that Milo was healthy and had no history of medical issues. Before his death, Paula sent photos of leftover pellets from Milo's food bowl, only to discover that they were a type of rodent poison. As her suspicions arose, she also paid for a necropsy equivalent to a post mortem of humans. And she wanted to find out the cause of the dog's death. And she went to the veterinarian and asked them to perform the necropsy. She wanted to know why and how they died. And that's when it was revealed that they bled to death as a result of being poisoned. She says, can you imagine someone's state of mind to be that premeditated, that cruel, that deliberate to take the life of an animal and then at the same time want to comfort her and and her family with flowers and scary. I'm glad that he was stopped. Paula also obtained a copy of Campesana's credit card bill which appeared to show the that he had bought something from Tractor Supply. And upon further investigation, it happened to be rat poison. And this was done just two days before Milo was found dead. And she said he died a painful death and he died alone. And I just hope that there's some way we can get justice for Milo because he didn't deserve this. Speaking about Campisano she added, the scariest part to me with all of this is that there were no signs. He was well liked, a completely sweet boyfriend. To me, we hardly argued. There were no signs other than he didn't like Milo and I just summed that up to the fact that he wasn't a dog person but he was a perfect boyfriend and that's what makes this so much scarier. At the time of the incident, Campesano was a full time law enforcement officer with the Bartlow Police Department but is no longer employed by the agency and he's been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals. Sheriff Chad Kronester said those who wear the badge are held to a higher standard and when someone falls short of that responsibility it reflects a serious failure of the values we are sworn to uphold. This innocent animal deserved care and protection and the trust placed in him as a partner makes this loss all more senseless. And it truly does. But we know all too well that a lot of the time the murderer is hiding in plain sight. And I know reminds me of David Anthony Burns just being there for Ms. Stephanie and it's just disgusting. For this story we're going to have a Scone Bag of the Week and that is exactly how the title of this article reads. But Florida police have named a man the Scumbag of the Week because he was stealing jewelry from residents at a senior living facility and selling it at pawn shops, according to Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood, 45 year old Sean Bernstein, who served as executive director of aria, which is a senior living facility in Debary, is accused of stealing jewelry from elderly residents rooms and taking it to local pawn shops. Chitwood wrote in a January 9 Instagram post that deputies were first alerted to a resident's engagement ring going missing from their bedroom at the facility. And of course the facility is probably full of video surveillance and I think at pawn shops when you go in you have to give your driver's license your id. But anyway, let's tell the story. Video footage showed Bernstein entering the room while it was unoccupied, going near the jewelry box and then leaving. Additional footage also showed a separate incident in which he attempted to open the jewelry box before noticing the camera and leaving. Detectives then reviewed pawn records that revealed Bernstein sold multiple pieces of jewelry, including the same stolen engagement ring, which was positively identified and placed on hold. Pawn documentation and a fingerprint confirmed Bernstein's involvement in the sale of the stolen engagement ring. During an interview with investigators, Burstein allegedly admitted to stealing jewelry from multiple residents and selling the items at local pawn shops. Records obtained by police showed he sold more than 93 pieces of jewelry between September 23rd and December 30th of last year. The sheriff said, this guy just goes in there and takes valuable heirlooms. The money is not the issue, it's the value to the family. There is not a place in hell where these scumbags can go to burn. If you're going to go out and victimize our senior community, you have no soul. Local senior living residents said that they were shocked to learn about the case. And now of course, the community has doesn't feel safe like it used to feel in the past. And they said half the time we do not lock our doors because we felt so safe here. And this was resident Sandy McLaughlin and she said, in fact, I did not lock it. Now maybe I should go back and lock it. In a statement, ARA's human resources director Christine Welch said that Bern Berstein is no longer an employee of the facility. She says the safety and well being of our residents remains our highest priority. We are cooperating fully with law enforcement authorities and Mr. Burstein is no longer employed at the community. They have also done a plea. If you or your family member believe you may be a victim, I enter. I encourage you to contact Detective Patel at Volusia Sheriff's Office.

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 they 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, mood and physical performance. An iron deficiency can exist long before anything turns into anemia, which means you can feel it well before it shows up on paper. That's why I recommend Citrol from Farming Nutra. Citrol 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 is 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, head to farminutra-us.com and use code RLRC for 10% off your first order of Citrol.

Bernstein Bursting turned himself in on January 9 and he faces charges including grand theft between $750 and 5,000 and dealing in stolen property. So I am so glad that he was found. That is definitely Scumbag of the week. However, I think we probably have another scumbag here.

We have an assistant principal in Georgia that stands accused of stealing 98 items worth around a thousand dollars from Walmart using what's been described as a stacking scheme at Self Checkout Kiosk. Courtney Shaw, who's 47 years old, was arrested on Monday by the Cherokee Sheriff's Office after authorities were alerted that she had been swiping merchandise from the store in Woodstock, which is about 30 miles outside of Atlanta. The theft scheme occurred over a two month period between November and December of 20. Shaw is currently an assistant principal at Free Home Elementary School, but was placed on administrative leave once the allegations against her were found out. The 93 the 98 items she stole, of course this says allegedly totaled $943.97. Shaw used what's called the stacking method at Self Checkout Kiosk, which involves placing multiple items on top of one another and scanning just one before bagging them and leaving the store, authorities said. Two suspicious vehicles were seen in surveillance footage which one was a 2018 Ford F150 and a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee and they were both registered to Shaw and later located at her residence. The assistant principal was booked into the Cherokee County Jail and charged with felony count of shoplifting. That really and then she was released later that day on a $4,875 bond, the school district told Fox 5 Atlanta. This is a quote immediately upon these allegations being reported, the employee was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of internal and law enforcement investigations. Maintaining the safety and security of our students and staff is our top priority and and inappropriate conduct will never be tolerated. So Shaw started her career as a fifth grade teacher in North Carolina before she began teaching multiple grades in Florida. After that she transitioned into educational leadership and became an assistant principal at Oak Grove Fine arts Academy in 2012. Then she was appointed assistant principal at Bascoma elementary in 2016 and she has held that job for eight years. In 2024, she joined Free Home as the school's first full time assistant principal. By that point already having 24 years experience in education. Describing her role, the school wrote, before this she brings a wealth of experience and dedication to her role as assistant principal at Free Home. Yeah, wealth of experience stealing. It's not the first time. I wonder how many other stores she went to curious to know. What more bad she did. I really am curious to know what she was stealing. Was she stealing like stuff for her students? Probably not. Not that it matters. I mean you shouldn't steal anything. But for this next story where I'm going to take us to Iowa and we have a series of smash and grab burglaries in Greene county and these are occurring at convenience stores and the suspect is now in custody and investigators say they've linked her and other suspects in the case to even more crimes. Which is what I was trying to say a minute ago. I'm sure the winner in the previous story is probably going to multiple Walmarts doing the same thing or anywhere that they have self checkout targets, Dollar General, things like that. Anyway, back to this story. Hannah Ladenhoff, who was 23 years old of Jamaica, Iowa, was booked into the Greene County Jail Tuesday night and she's charged with attempted burglary in 3rd degree. She has two counts of that criminal mischief 2nd degree. She has two counts of that that theft 3rd degree and theft 4th degree. Laidhoff, her boyfriend Colum Corom and Rocky Hughes have been identified by the Green County Sheriff's Office as suspects in two burg in two burglaries that happened back in December. The first happened at Casey's General Store in Scranton in the late night hours of December 17th. The second happened on December 18th at Sparky's in Rippy. Doors or windows were smashed in both burglaries, allowing three suspects to enter the stores and steal the winning things, liquor and cigarettes. I mean, because if you're going to steal, get all the deadly sins in there. Officials said there was a fourth person, the getaway driver involved. The burglaries were captured on surveillance video. Greene County Sheriff Jack Williams said Hughes was arrested on January 1 on charges related to the burglaries. He also said Corporin was arrested in Story county on unrelated charges on December 30, 2025 following a chase. Corporum remains in the Story county jail and charges have not yet been filed in the Greene county burglaries. Criminal complaints filed in Ladenhoff's case claim she, Hughes and Corpor have been linked to similar burglaries at Casey's General Stores, locations in Colo Runnels and what here. Investigators have not released information publicly about the suspected identity identity of the getaway driver involved in the crimes. And there's a preliminary hearing for Laidhoff on February 4th. Maybe we'll get an update about that. So now we're going to Colorado Springs, where the Colorado Springs Police Department said that on Tuesday, January 27, a suspect was arrested after visiting a store three times in one day and allegedly committing a crime each time. So I guess I'm on a theft spree today. According to CSPD, on Tuesday, detectives with CSPD's retail pawn and Metal Theft Unit were called by a retailer in the 4000 block of North Nevada Avenue. This is south of Austin Bluffs Parkway, and they called about a suspect who who pulled a knife on the store's asset protection and soon after returned to the store and stole something. Detectives responded and believing the suspect was likely in the general area, worked with the Falcon Patrol officers providing a photograph of the suspect. Later, the retail store contacted detectives again to report that the suspect had returned a third time shoplifted and was currently walking south from the store so that information, along with the updated photograph was provided to patrol officers. Officers finishing an unrelated case in the area spotted the suspect at the corner of Mountview Lane and North Nevada Avenue. The suspect was taken into custody without incident and the items stolen in the third incident was recovered. That was good police work there. We have guess crime spree is my theme for today, which was very unintentional for this one. We're going to San Jose, California. There are Federal authorities arrested an accomplice of a man who took part in a multi day crime spree that ended in a deadly shootout with San Jose police last week. The U.S. marshals Service. Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force announced Wednesday that Edward Macias was arrested on the morning of January 22nd and he's accused of helping Mohammed Hussein, who authorities said was involved in a crime spree that began in Sacramento several days earlier. Agents said Macias and Hussein attempted a carjacking at gunpoint at a Sacramento car dealership. Macias is also accused of dropping off Hussein at a San Jose car dealership on the afternoon of January 21st. According to San Jose police, Hussein stole a green Chevy Corvette at a dealership on Capitol Expressway before leading authorities on a pursuit to Hollister, more than 40 miles south in Hollister, police said Hussein was involved in two police shootings before carjacking another vehicle and returning back to San Jose. Once in downtown San Jose, Hussein was engaged in another shootout with officers striking a sergeant in the head. Hussein was struck by a patrol vehicle while attempting to carjack another vehicle. Police Chief Paul Joseph said the suspect continued to move and was armed. Additional officers shot Hussein and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The sergeant has been released from the hospital and no other injuries were reported. Thank goodness he was shot in the head and he's he's good. Thank you goodness. Later that evening, authorities requested help from the US Marshals to find and arrest Macias. Investigators within the task force learned that Macias was in Los banos at an associate's home. Marshals conducted surveillance on the home as they waited for a search Warrant, and around 4:00am the following day, the task force ordered Macias to exit the home and and he was taken into custody without incident. Macias was booked into the Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of robbery and carjacking, Jail records show. He's being held without bail with his next court appearance scheduled for February 11th. And let's just go ahead and stay in San Jose.

Gonna Take Us to Georgia A longtime South Georgia fire chief is facing serious criminal charges after a minor reported being sexually assaulted inside his own home. And this is according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the GBI said. Dell Lahman Bernard, 66 years old, of Glenville, was arrested and charged with child molestation, aggravated child molestation and criminal trespass, and he was the chief of the Glenville Fire Department, investigators said. The case began on January 27th when the Glenville Police Department responded to a 911 call from a minor. The child reported that Bernard entered his home and molested him. Following the report, the Glenville Police Department and the Tottenham County Sheriff's Office requested the GBI to investigate the allegations, authorities said Law enforcement recovered evidence from the home that supports the miner's account. Barnard was booked into the Tattnall County Jail. The GBI said the investigation remains active and ongoing and once it is complete the case will be turned over to the Atlantic Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office for prosecution. Thank goodness they found evidence and thank goodness that minor reported it. And unfortunately y' all know what I'm going to say. I don't think that's the first time that that happened, but I pray it is the last.

We have another winner here. We're going to Collin County, Texas and we have a 35 year old McKinney Independent School District athletic trainer that was arrested Wednesday on charges of sexual assault involving a student. Why? Why? Why? There's so many curse words that want to come out of my mouth right now.
- [38:23]

Why?

Why do you conti. I don't. I don't Lindsay Post was booked into the Collin County Jail and was charged by McKinney police with improper relationship between educator and student and and sexual assault of a child. Both are second degree felonies, McKinney Police Officer Daryl Saffold said. I can confirm McKinney Police are investigating a case involving a McKinney ISD employee. An arrest was made following report involving an inappropriate relationship between an MISD employee and a juvenile. Of course the district has to respond and they sent a letter out to parents, y'. All. McKinney ISD Superintendent Sean Pratt said Post was an athletic trainer at McKinney North High School but also supported Cockrell Middle School and Scott Johnson Middle School. The district was notified of alleged inappropriate text and or conduct involving a McKinney north student on January 27th and then immediately notified McKinney Police and the Texas Education Agency, School Board for educator certification and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. They say the safety and well being of our students is our highest priority. Following clearance by law enforcement, Ms. Post was placed on administrative leave pending investigation. The district has urged anyone with information or concerns to contact McKinney police, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services or the McKinney ISD Title 9 Coordinator. We are fully cooperating with law enforcement and are committed to transparency as this case develops with the limits of what the law allows us to share and while maintaining confidentiality for any victim. The family of the victim has hired Dallas attorney Paul Hurst and he's actually representing several of the families in the Caleb Elliott investigation in Selena ISD and he says he's of course quoted Herzl will vigorously investigate civil liability while urging the district, regardless of the institution or result of litigation, to immediately reform its policies, procedures and practices to protect its student body, which remain susceptible to the same abuse until something changes. Hertz did not disclose the age nor the gender of the victim. Now, State Rep. Jeff Leach of McKinney has also been a victim of child sexual abuse and he has said manipulation, misconduct, abuse and assault of Texas children. It's everywhere, all around us, every day, in your backyard and in mine. There may be no higher emergency facing the state of Texas than this and it's high time we start treating it as such. And he is absolutely correct. Well, this will make you sick. I'm going to Colorado Two Colorado men have been arrested in Aurora after Investigators say the two were collectively in possession of over 17,000 images and videos of child sex abuse. Here's the kicker. They have since been released on a $10,000 bond. The suspects are 53 year old Orlando Archuleta and 37 year old Domshad Yusupov. They were both arrested on Friday on active felony warrants by the Aurora Police Department and court records show Archuleta posted bond on Saturday and Yusupov posted on Monday. Why are they even given bond? Archuleta was arrested on five charges of felony sexual exploitation of a child and Yusupov was arrested on seven counts of the same charge. Every image and every video represents the abuse of a real child. These are not files or data. These are innocent victims, victims who deserve protection, dignity and justice, said Mark Paulino, commander of the Aurora Police Department Investigations Bureau. This is among the most serious and harmful crimes we investigate targeting children within our most vulnerable population. The APD says The charges against US POV stem from a January 2025 tip the Department received from the national center for Missing and Exploited Children about someone in Aurora who possessed or was sharing child sexual abuse material. Electronic devices were seized from his house when detectives served a search warrant. An investigation found more than 60 images and over 2,600 videos of child sexual abuse on those devices. The department got a similar tip about Archuleta in March of 2025 and detectives served a search warrant on his home and seized multiple electronic devices which contained over 15,000 images of child sex abuse. These people are now walking the streets. Archuleta and Yusupov are both charged in Arapaho District Court and Yusupov is due back in court on February 25. An Archuleta is due in court on March 2 and neither has been formally charged. Court records show Yusupov has no prior criminal history in Colorado, and a voicemail was left with his attorney seeking comment, but nothing has been said. Archuleto, on the other hand, has not yet hired or even been assigned an attorney, and court records show a number of traffic citations and convictions, but no violent or sex crimes in Colorado prior to his current case. And the news agency CBS News reached out to Archuleta, and he hung up after being asked for comment. The work of the men and women of the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, alongside with our partners with the Colorado Cyber Guardian Task Force is relentless and essential, paulino said. Their dedication ensures offenders are identified, held accountable and removed from our community while giving victims a voice and pursuing justice on their behalf. Except when they're out on bond. That was my that. That wasn't part of the quote. That was mine. Asked by users on social media about the bond amount, APD said they don't control bond amounts. Bond decisions are made by the courts, not Aurora police. Our role is to investigate and arrest offenders. In response to another user, the department wrote, bond laws are set by state law and applied by the courts. Community members can contact state legislators, support victim advocacy groups and stay engaged in the process. Advocacy and awareness help drive change that's disgusting. So I'm going to and today I am very frustrated by quite a few of these stories. I wish my host was here to add his comments to the stories that I did today. He would have had a lot of insight for me because I get in the emotional aspect and he always explains, of course the law and the way things have to be and they're that way for a reason and all of that. But f all of that, those people should not be out. But anyway, stay tuned for tomorrow's episode, which is going to be a good one. I'm not going to give a hint about it, but I promise you that you will want to listen to it. I thank you for liking listening and sharing because to rank in true crime is a huge achievement, I guess you could say. It shows that people are coming in and listening. It shows we get new listeners. It shows that the same listeners are tuning in each day. There's a different out. There's a certain algorithm that people that, that Apple uses to do their rankings and to stay ranked. We are tr. I look at rankings. Woody doesn't, but I do because that's part of my job is to make sure that we're reaching people, to make sure that we are getting, you know, having the engagement that we want and if we are not then I need to go through and make some adjustments to either show notes to different to different things to make sure that we're being seen. That's, that's the other side of, you know, the podcast that people don't really hear about ever. But we usually teeter in the high 200s. But that's not part of the list that goes out to everyone. I can reach out to Apple at any time with our person there and say, hey, where are we ranking right now? You know, in the email and she'll send it back or I can ask couple of different places on the Internet you can go and look. And so you're typically in the high 200s. It's very rare, if ever that we're not ranked in that. But once you get into the top 200 chart of true crime, which is one of the highest listened to genres, that really says something. And we are very grateful and blessed to have, you know, our listeners, our continued listeners, as I said, you know, before. And we thank you for all of our convicts and patreons and we, we couldn't do this without y'. All and that's for, that's for sure. So we thank you for supporting us each month and your support for those that aren't. We thank y' all too. I mean all of this, this whole community is, is a blessing and we are so blessed to have every single one of you, even our haters. And you want to go and make a bad review for us, that's great because we have this one person that likes to continue to leave us bad reviews. They update their bad review over and over and over again. But you know what that tells me they're listening. So keep on doing it. That's great. It used to upset me to get a bad review about myself. It doesn't anymore. If someone says something bad about Woody, a little bit of mama bear comes out. But that's just who I am. But anyway, stay tuned for tomorrow's episode. Oh, I wanted to say one thing about the app. A long, long time ago, I would make a quiz for each episode and I would also make a poll every now and then. But now for each episode, you are getting quizzes and polls for each one. And in that you earn what we call, which is our point system, in the app, you earn prison biscuits. And when you earn prison biscuits, you can trade those in for rewards. And you can go to the rewards section of the app to do that. Please. When you go, fill, fill out the form for the reward that you want make sure you add your address. I have several people that I've reached out to via email asking for your mail your address so that I can send you your rewards. I have a few that are that go back a couple years that are just sitting in envelopes waiting to be sent and I have some ones from April of this year I think is the the latest of not of this year obviously of 2025. So please make sure that I get your address otherwise I can't send you your reward. And also have a poll in the app asking for ideas for new rewards and there's a few little suggestions but I limited them on purpose so that y' all could go in and type in your own suggestions. And there's a couple of comments in there right now that I think are great ideas and we will do the best we can to make your dreams come true with whatever you request as a reward. But I thank you. Stay tuned again for tomorrow's episode. It will be a great one and do not forget that always we are in Search of justicefor Bradley Woody hasn't given up. Justice for AO Woody hasn't given up. He's still getting tips. Justice for Haley. Woody certainly hasn't given up. And please try to do whatever you can to support Ms. Barbara and the GoFundMe. Even sharing. If you cannot donate, share share the GoFundMe somebody you know might really want to help. Of course. Hashtag justice for Barbara Blunt. Hashtag justice for all that need it. And I hope you have a great Friday and I'll see you later.
