Social Media Murders

Venezuelan TikTok Influencer's Tragic End

At [05:01], Cindy introduces a harrowing case from Venezuela involving Gabriel Jesus Sarmiento Rodriguez, a 25-year-old TikTok influencer known as @nleaks. On June 22nd, during a live stream, Gabriel was brutally murdered by two gunmen who stormed his home. The tragedy unfolded live as Gabriel pleaded for help and provided his address over the stream. His mother attempted to shield him but was also shot in the abdomen, though she survived.

• Cindy Overton [06:20]: "Gabriel has a one-year-old child, but no was reported."
• Dax Shepard [08:22]: "Tick Tock was a live video. So they actually have him getting murdered. Murdered on Tick Tock."

Authorities have launched an investigation, potentially linking the murder to local gangs like Trinidad Aragawa and Trin del Yano Trinidad, which U.S. authorities classify as terrorist organizations. Gabriel’s mother, who witnessed the attack, is pivotal in pushing for justice.

Norway Royal Scandal

Charges Against Royal Stepson

The hosts delve into a scandal involving Marius Borg Hobies, the stepson of Norway's future king. At [10:21], Dax provides an overview of the charges:

• Dax Shepard: "His charges include one count of rape with intercourse, two counts of rape without intercourse, and four counts of sexually offensive behavior and bodily harm."

Marius, 28, has been accused of multiple sexual offenses, with the Oslo police confirming evidence gathered through text messages, interviews, and searches. Despite his cooperation with investigators, his lawyer maintains his innocence, especially concerning the sexual abuse allegations.

• Cindy Overton [14:17]: "But Hobie, thankfully is not in the line of succession to the Norwegian throne and he doesn't have a public role."

The scandal raises questions about the Norwegian royal family's image and the potential miscarriage of justice in high-profile cases.

California Influencer Murder

Double Tragedy at a Sushi Restaurant

In Fontana, California, Gloria Zamora, a 40-year-old fitness influencer and mother of seven, was fatally shot along with her dinner date, Hector Garduno, by her estranged husband, Thomas Garduno.

• Cindy Overton [22:11]: "She was attacked at the boat launch some."

The incident occurred on June 21st around 9:30 PM in the parking lot of a sushi restaurant. Upon witnessing the shooting, an off-duty San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy intervened, fatally shooting the assailant to stop the violence. Tragically, both Gloria and Hector succumbed to their injuries, leaving seven of Gloria's children orphaned.

• Dax Shepard [34:26]: "He was attacked by an alien, a bear, a human being, a man, a woman, a dog, a fish."

Family members have since launched a GoFundMe campaign in honor of Gloria and Hector, highlighting the senselessness of such violence.

Idaho Missing Teens and FLDS

Disappearance Linked to Fundamentalist Church

The episode highlights the case of two teenagers, Alan Laren Fisher (13) and Rachel Larae Fisher (15), who went missing on June 22nd in Montview, Idaho. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office suspects their disappearance is linked to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), a polygamous sect previously led by the convicted pedophile Warren Jeffs.

• Cindy Overton [25:18]: "And I'm not a religious show or whatever by anyway and I'm not trying to do that. I just want to tell you about how it outside the norm it is."

The authorities believe the teens may have fled back to the FLDS community in Trenton, Utah, despite geographical challenges such as lack of transportation infrastructure. Their older sister, Elantra D. Fisheries, went missing in 2023 under similar circumstances, further complicating the investigation.

• Dax Shepard [31:53]: "They said what the information we got was about the revelation that the children are supposed to be supposed to gather to assist in the building of Zion so that they can die and become pure and translated beings."

The case underscores the dangers posed by extremist religious groups and the vulnerabilities of youth within such communities.

Wild Crime Stories

Dangerous Encounter with Cassowaries in Australia

Shifting focus to wildlife-related crimes, the hosts recount an incident from Queensland, Australia, where a mother and her child narrowly escaped an attack by cassowaries—the world's most dangerous birds—as defined by the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF).

• Dax Shepard [46:54]: "The WWF said are the birds which can reach 4 to 5.6ft tall. That's big."

On May 9th, the duo was securing their home when two cassowaries approached, presumably seeking food due to human interference. The child ran inside, followed by the mother, effectively evading the birds. Authorities warn against feeding wildlife to prevent such dangerous habituations.

• Cindy Overton [46:24]: "It's referred to as the world's most dangerous bird, according to the Worldwide Fund for nature or the wwf."

Additional incidents include a cassowary attacking a man in Naples, Queensland, resulting in leg injuries, highlighting the severe risks posed by these large, flightless birds when they associate humans with food.

Conclusion

Dax Shepard and Cindy Overton wrap up the episode by reflecting on the myriad forms of violence and danger—from high-profile murders linked to social media fame and royal scandals to the unpredictable threats posed by wildlife. They emphasize the importance of community awareness and caution in both human interactions and interactions with nature.

• Cindy Overton [50:26]: "Hashtag justice for Haley is coming."

The episode serves as a stark reminder of the pervasive nature of crime in various facets of life and the continuous need for vigilance and justice.
