[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So. All right, let's get down some true crime time for thirsty Thursday.

[Cindy Overton]

Alrighty. Gonna go to Miami.

[Woody Overton]

Miami.

[Cindy Overton]

Would a boyfriend and a girlfriend be considered family?

[Woody Overton]

Probably not.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay, so on July 1st this year, Miami authorities arrested a 33 year old woman named Steffi Cohen. And I didn't know this, she's the power lifter. I don't know if you.

[Woody Overton]

No, I'm not into. I used to power lift, but I'm not into watching it.

[Cindy Overton]

Right. Well, she's a celebrated powerlifter and physical therapist known online as Dr. Steffi Cohen. And she faces a misdemeanor battery charge after an argument with her live in boyfriend which escalated to physical, you know, physically. So the conflict ignited when Cohen accused her partner of stealing her phone and secretly recording their Conversation. And they got upset and everything got heated really quickly. They started arguing with each other and Cohen scratched him multiple times, leaving physical marks on his face, neck, chest and stomach. So 911 was called. And when the officers got there, they immediately noted the boyfriend's injuries. A closed fist scratch on her right upper arm. So while Cohen claimed he hit her, the boyfriend hit her. Police only observed a single scratch on her bicep, so she was booked for a misdemeanor battery. And as of right now, we do not know if she has entered a plea or hired an attorney. But the arrests add to the growing legal record because in 2024, Cohen faced charges of breaking into her ex boyfriend's laptop and distributing nude photos of his new partner. And those accusations led to like, criminal mischief, sexual cyber stalking, and resisting arrest charges. So a trial related to that case is scheduled for August of this year. So if you don't know who Cohen is, she's a celebrated. She's celebrated for her athletic achievements, breaking records and powerlifting and of course, transitioning into professional boxing. But her reputation and professional credentials are, you know, getting a bad rap.

[Woody Overton]

Crazy.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

All right, let's go to Greenville County, South Carolina, and they got a 64 year old man and his ass is going to be in prison. Okay, good. Do you know what he did? He.

[Cindy Overton]

He murdered her. He robbed someplace?

[Woody Overton]

No, he went to a gas station and, and went to get it. Yeah. I don't know if I told you this recently. I was one of the back ones. I mean, back roads, gas stations over by Bluff Creek. The. It's the only store there besides that bank. I mean, it's in the middle of nowhere and I had to get gas, you know. Idiot. Life was on. I like to push, but I was like, bitch, I ain't gonna make it to town. I got like seven more miles. There's no way. And I go pull in and there's two pumps. It's not a big gas station. And this woman I'm, I'm obviously driving. This woman comes flying in past me and like blocks me and then starts flipping me the bird and honking the horn at me. I'm like this, what is your fucking problem? And she like, you get my gas. But she got out hollering at me, you get my gas. But I don't. I said, ma', am, I was pulling up to the pump, but I'm not about to argue with you about the pump. You know, you go ahead and get your gas and have a blessed day, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Well, this dude the 64 year old dude, Frank Lawson, he didn't see it that way. My way. And he has pled guilty on July 7 to assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. And a judge sentenced him to 17 years in the South Carolina Department of Cracks. That's not enough to tell you what he got.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

Did to get these 17 years on June 18th. And it's not funny, but on June 18th, 2023, Lawson and his victim got into a disagreement about who was next in line at a local gas station. Lawson. Like that at the gas station. But Lawson went and got a knife out of his vehicle and stabbed the other dude in the throat.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh my God.

[Woody Overton]

Over gas? Yeah. And prosecutors said the man survived due to quick response of Greenville EMS medical professionals at. At the hospital. The. Look at this guy. Can you imagine? Old dude like that? I mean, I guess I'm pretty old now. I'm 55. Showing. Tick tock. I mean, so. Yeah, well, whoever the. Yeah, that's it. I mean the. There's no disputing it. Everybody in the world saw it and they get it. I mean, you know, you put my spot in the line. Well, show you motherfucker goes and gets a knife out of his vehicle and walks up. I mean if that lady had got out and I'd have seen she had a knife and I'd have filled her full of lead before she could have got to me. But how do you let somebody walk up with a knife, get so close to you, they stab you in the throat. I'm not victim shaming. People hear about this on the news and stuff all the time. And they don't expect it to happen. No, but it does. That happens every single day. And that's what happened in South Carolina.

[Cindy Overton]

Wow.

[Woody Overton]

Yep. Crazy.

[Cindy Overton]

That is crazy. Well, I got another stabbing.

[Woody Overton]

Okay.

[Cindy Overton]

In California.

[Woody Overton]

All right.

[Cindy Overton]

And on the morning of July 5th at a GameStop, excitement, buzz, like how people are.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. They get a line for the games.

[Cindy Overton]

And there was Pokemon cards were being restocked that day.

[Woody Overton]

It's a big thing.

[Cindy Overton]

And so fans lined up early. I remember the day where we had to line up to get concert tickets. We had to line up to like there's. You lined up for so many things.

[Woody Overton]

The Pokemon thing, that's. There's one of them that goes out. It's worth millions of dollars.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly. And so people are, you know, eagerly. They're excited. Right. And so until 49 year old Miguel Orleanos Flores tried to cut in line and I guess people weren't going to have anything to do with that.

[Woody Overton]

Like the gas line in the last store.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly. And another man in the line confronted him, calling out like the behavior. And tensions got really. They rose and turned to violence within seconds. So witness watched as Orel Alice Orinalis. I don't know how, but Flores struck the victim on the back of the head with a glass mason jar that he had in his hand and the jar shattered on impact and shards of glass scattered everywhere. So then 27 year old Isaiah Caille grabbed some of the sharp pieces of glass that had just fallen and began stabbing the man repeatedly. So when Officers arrived at 9:22am they found the victim bleeding heavily from multiple stab wounds and suffering severe head lacerations. He was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition and doctors were able to stabilize him in the chaos. Both suspects fled the scene in separate cars. One one in a Honda, the other in a Toyota. But before they took off, the victim, I don't know how he did this, but had the presence of mind to photograph their license plates, which obviously helped the officers track them down pretty quickly. And police found Orellanis Flores in coma and Calle in the nearby city of Dolly City. So both were arrested and booked into San Mateo County Jail. And they obviously faced serious felony charges including assault with a deadly weapon, assault causing great bodily harm, battery with serious injury, and conspiring to commit a crime.

[Woody Overton]

There you have it.

[Cindy Overton]

Over a Pokemon. I mean, I know, I guess Pokemon card, but geez Louise.

[Woody Overton]

What the Pokemon card Gas whatever staff. And we just. We just kill people that cut in line.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, right. Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Did you know your calendar age doesn't always match how old your body truly is? I recently took the Truage test from trudiagnostic and discovered my biological age. And let me tell you, it's completely changed the way I look at my health. Biological age is a powerful indicator of how fast you're aging on the inside and and it directly predicts your risk for serious diseases. Here's why that matters. Research shows that if your biological age is even just five years older than your actual age, your risk of developing diseases like cancer or heart disease can jump by as much as 30 to 50%. That's a big deal. And the amazing part is, nearly 90% of biological aging is actually in our control. It all comes down to lifestyle, habits and your environment. When I got my results back, I was honestly shocked. My chronological age is 55, but my biological OMICM age came back at 63, meaning I'm biologically about eight years older than my actual age. That was definitely not what I expected, and honestly, it was a big wake.

[Woody Overton]

Up call for me.

The true age test didn't just give me one number. It broke down how quickly each of my organ systems are aging and and it was eye opening. I found out that my liver and musculoskeletal system are actually aging slower, which was encouraging. But my heart, brain, lungs and metabolic systems were all aging faster than they should be. I also learned that my pace of aging is 1.1, meaning for every year that passes, I'm aging 1.1 biological years, and that can increase my risk of chronic disease and even short my lifespan. It's I don't make changes. This test really pushed me to make some adjustments. The personalized strategies they shared from top scientists at Harvard and Yale included focusing more on strength and resistance training to support my heart and metabolic health. The best part? The test itself was super easy and convenient. I did it right at home. No doctor visits or big needles, just a quick painless finger prick and I mailed it back in a prepaid package and got a detailed online report in about two to three weeks. Fast and totally hassle free.

[Cindy Overton]

There. There was another TikTok of this lady last night. She was in line at Disney.

[Woody Overton]

You spent a lot of time on TikTok.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, I do 10 minutes of TikTok before I go to bed. Oh, my God, ten minutes. And so she was in line at Disney in Disney Springs, and she had a stroller and there was like four people in her group, this group behind them. Anyway, they weren't moving up quickly enough. And so the group behind this one group that was talking just kept, like, making, like, sly, like, horrible comments to them and speaking in Spanish, unbeknownst to them that the people that were in front of them they were talking about spoke Spanish. And so the girl that was in the front telling the story said, y' all need to leave me alone. I understand what you're saying. Leave me alone. Stop talking about me. And then they kept on and they kept just harassing her and whatever she said, if you don't stop, I'm going to throw my icy at you. Because she had an icy. Well, they didn't stop. About 10 minutes later, she threw the icy. The guy in the other group started punching her. Started punching her. Yeah, it's crazy out there.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

Even at the great. What is the happiest place on earth, apparently?

[Woody Overton]

Well, let's go to Arizona. And speaking of tick tock, y' all doing the big tick tock push. Hashtag justice for Bradley. Real life, real crime on tick tock. You know, I got some other videos on there, too. Just stupid stuff. But the not really any pranks. And like you said, TikTok is big. I. I don't really watch videos on TikTok other than morbaga stuff and this if every once in a while, someone will Send me. But I. I got too much social media to do as it is or I'm answering everybody the comments on my videos. I answered every one of them personally. But let me tell you about this dude in Arizona and he got really, really famous on TikTok. He's 27 years old, but he was famous for being a prankster and his real name was Charles smith. But on TikTok he's known as @wolfie, cahetty, whatever. And so he would go viral. First prank videos, like he knocked a woman's dinner onto the floor right after she picked it up at a restaurant. Then people think people watch it, right? He's like, watch this. And then another time he went two stories up and had a bunch of cake and he's dropping it on people as they're walking by.

[Cindy Overton]

I wouldn't like that.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, right. So they said though many people found these pranks to be mean and not cool, with some people even concerned about others captured in videos like a sweet looking elderly cook whose hard work was ruined by a bag of ice cues this dude dumped in her feet. Right. The. But still, he just continues to blow it up. Everybody's watching. Somebody's watching. I guess they got 10 minutes before bedtime to watch like you do. But then this takes it to another level and just fucking ignorant reminds me that like people licking the bluebell ice cream and shit, or eating Tide pods. But. So he goes into a Walmart in December 2024 in Mesa, Arizona, and he went and got a can of Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea killer. Now what do you think he did with that?

[Cindy Overton]

I. I don't even. I don't even. Well, he sprayed it on somebody he.

[Woody Overton]

Needs to go to. He filmed himself as he walked along in the Walmart. And this is. I mean, you know, this is what perplexes me. The it I told y', all, I answer everybody the comments on my hashtag well, on any of my videos. But the one time I commented because I run out of to say but I'm like, thank you. And I'll say their name and I'll do some emojis. I said they were like pissed off about the video, about not at me, but about the case and what's going on. They said something. I said, yeah, like we'll get them. And I did the mean faces. Yeah, whatever. Emojis. The red face. Fuck. They fucking flagged me.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And said, we get you're going against our policies data. And I'm like, I fucking appealed it. I'm Like I didn't say anything bad.

[Cindy Overton]

No.

[Woody Overton]

And. And they came back and they overturned it on appeal. I'm like motherfucker, I got to go to court for this. And this asshole can do all this shit and you let it stay up there.

[Cindy Overton]

Ye.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. So he's walking along with his hot shot ultra bed bug and flea killer and he gets to the produce section and he starts spraying and he sprays it on fruits and vegetables, right? And now he's filming himself. He thinks this shit's funny. Then you know how they have the. The stands where all the rotisserie chickens are pretty close to the produce. I like those. That's pretty good value, like eight bucks for a whole chicken. But any. He goes to rotisserie chickens and starts opening them up and sprays the fucking. Well the fucking. Obviously they're going to buy it. They're not going and they're not going to check it till they get home. So he did it and he posted it. And later on of course, you know, things go the way they do. Some people probably thought it was funny but. And he claimed it was a prank. But the. It's clear to other people that were watching that he knows he fucked up and. And because he proceeded to gather up what he could of the items that he sprayed. But enough time had gone by that some of the items were picked up and purchased by other customers. So the Mesa Police Department, they didn't like it too much and when they saw the video and two days after he posted it they arrested his ass.

[Cindy Overton]

Good.

[Woody Overton]

So. And he admitted to stealing the spray. So here's. That's the kicker. He didn't fucking pay for the spray. He admitted to stealing the spray from the store and spraying it on other products at the location. So the cops said that he ruined items amount to more than $931 of contaminated groceries which had to be thrown.

[Cindy Overton]

Away the people that bought it.

[Woody Overton]

Right. So the Maricopi. My favorite sheriff out there. A county attorney's office charged Smith with multiple offenses including two felony counts. One was for adding poison to food and the other was a third degree charge of burglary of items. Now he also received misdemeanor charges for criminal damage and public endangerment. In AS a dug into the investigation he Smith first attempted to plead not guilty. But in April he changed his mind and pled guilty. They got you on video. That's what I always say so at the time. Don't you? That's the only thing about these plea deals. If you're Like I'm gonna take it shit to trial. Don't you think? The judge sees a video or the jury sees the video and you're sitting there saying you're innocent at me as a judge or a jury member, that would piss me the fuck off you're gonna get. Exactly. So the judge gave him a 12 month sentence in jail for adding poison to edible substances. And he also has three years of probation for criminal damage and burglary. Beyond the one year jail time, that motherfucker still got a lot more than that. So the. And this. There you go. You won't be making any tik toks in jail, buddy. Go yourself. Yeah, because, I mean, you know, I. If I'm. You know how I shop. I shop like a rock.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, my God.

[Woody Overton]

I. I know what I want. If I got to go in that motherfucker. I'm going as fast as I can, walking as fast as I can. I'm grabbing and I'm slinging into the box and I'm rolling, right? See, I close shop the same way.

[Cindy Overton]

I know you do.

[Woody Overton]

I roll in, I find my size. I ain't got to try it on, throw it in a shit, roll out. And so I would have been. The motherfucker got home and had.

[Cindy Overton]

Poison.

[Woody Overton]

Bedbug spray all over my avocados. Or.

[Cindy Overton]

And your rotisserie chicken would have had a rotisserie chicken.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, that's like. Yeah, guaranteed on that.

[Cindy Overton]

Or fried chicken.

[Woody Overton]

No. Yeah, fried chicken. All right, your turn.

[Cindy Overton]

I could go either way with this. I have some poison food and I have a TikTok story. Which one do you want to hear?

[Woody Overton]

TikTok.

[Cindy Overton]

All right, so we have a.

[Woody Overton]

Since you do 10 minutes a night, you. You can dedicate.

[Cindy Overton]

Guess what I did last night? I woke up in the situation that you caught me in a couple weeks ago.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, I'll go ahead and tell them.

[Cindy Overton]

You already told them, but tell them again.

[Woody Overton]

That's fine. The. She was passed out in the bed asleep with TikTok video rolling over and over and over again. The same video. And I was like, what the fuck is she watching? And finally I reach over and she was out. Out.

[Cindy Overton]

I woke up last night out. But the first thing I do do is go in and comment on our videos and read what they have to say. And like, last night, I had to put a link in for that person that said she couldn't find the episode anywhere. So I went and added the link.

[Woody Overton]

But tell us about your TikTok.

[Cindy Overton]

We're going. This is a twofer.

[Woody Overton]

It's time for worldwide crime. It's time for family matters.

[Cindy Overton]

All right, we are going to Pakistan and a 16 year old girl because she's a minor, her identity has not been released, but she was shot and killed by her father in their home. And the name of the place in Pakistan is Raul, Raul Pendi. So the Ra Pendi police said the girl had refused to delete her TikTok account and the 16 year old girl had refused to delete her TikTok account, which found, you know, out by her father. And when he said delete it, she said I'm not and he felt like she was dishonoring him. So the father shot her to death because she was dishonoring him. He wanted to get his honor back and so he shot her to death and then attempted to stage the scene as a suicide to avoid scrutiny because then he has to say, well, my daughter dishonored me so I shot her and you know, you don't want anyway. Authorities quickly arrested the father and publicly labeled the killing an honor killing, a term used in Pakistan to describe violence carried out by family members who believe someone's actions have violated cultural and social expectations.

[Woody Overton]

They better be glad they don't have that fucking law in the United States.

[Cindy Overton]

Wouldn't have any kids.

[Woody Overton]

Everybody be dead.

[Cindy Overton]

Everybody. So Human Rights Watch estimates that roughly 1,000 women are killed annually in Pakistan in such honor crimes and attacks are often linked to assertions of a family's reputation or honor tied to a woman's behavior.

Tonal.com so they they tell about another tragedy that happened earlier this year where a 14 year old teen from New York who is visiting a family in Pakistan who was also shot and killed by her father and uncle for posting what they called inappropriate TikTok videos.

[Woody Overton]

Real shit. Real different cultures. Real shit. And I could tell you stories but I don't really want to do it because my piss some people off. Yeah, but about Nah, I'm not going to even go there.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

That it's totally different fucking worlds and some of the shit that I've seen go on in these different cultures between the men and women and the family stuff would just blow your fucking mind.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

You'd be like white.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So. But takes all kinds to make the world go around and it's not my shit. And you killed her for doing TikTok. We just tick tock all over the world today. Right?

[Cindy Overton]

Right.

[Woody Overton]

All right. I'm a double down on you. It's time for worldwide crime. It's time for family matters. With a worldwide crime and a family matters. This story is fucking crazy, y'.

[Smoothie King Ad]

All.

[Woody Overton]

We're not picking on the world today. Just people did some fucked up shit. So they got a grandfather and we're going to India. The he's the grandfather of three and he's suspicious that his wife is having an affair and so he reacts by abuse and violence.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

Right. But then he adds insult to injury because he leaves his wife and flees Delhi with a younger woman.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, so maybe he's the one that was having the affair.

[Woody Overton]

So the father, six from northern India has eloped with the fiance of his teenage son and taken off with the family's gold and cash.

[Cindy Overton]

Damn right.

[Woody Overton]

So I know they like give the wedding gifts to family. I don't want to say buy them but that's pretty much what they do in the golden shed. But anyway. So Shaquille, who's 55 from Ur Pradesh, is also the grandfather of three. And according to the local media outlet NDTV, he had arranged for his 15 year old son Aman, to marry Aisha, a young woman from a nearby village. This other shit that wouldn't go on here in the States. And his family initially opposed the engagement for financial reasons, but Shaquille pushed ahead with the plan. The 22 year old Aisha was described as gentle and sweet, and Shaquille often visited her home under the pretense of arranging his son's wedding. Shaquille's wife grew suspicious of an affair between her husband Aisha, claiming she twice caught them acting intimately. She repeatedly voiced her concerns, but says Shaquille responded with verbal abuse and even physical violence. So he didn't think she was having an affair? She thought he was. And when she confronted, he went fisticuffs. So the wife also found frequent video calls and intimate photos of the pair on Shaquille's phone. With help from her son Aman, she gathered evidence confirming the affair. And shocked by the betrayal, Aman caught off the engagement. Well, in June, Shaquille fled Delhi with Aisha, claiming he was leaving for work. But he also took more than 200,000 rupees in cash and gold from the family home. Guess how much that is in American money?

[Cindy Overton]

I have no idea.

[Woody Overton]

$2,400.

[Cindy Overton]

Really?

[Woody Overton]

He couldn't have got too far. Mr. Kill later called his wife to announce he had married Aisha. And the heartbroken wife said, Aisha was meant to be my son's bride. Now she is my husband's bride. Sounds like some Jerry Springer.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Iman claims his grandparents knew about the fair and even helped them get married. And in India, Muslim men are allowed to have up to four wives. Sorry for them. For other individuals, bigamy is a crime punishable by up to seven years in prison.

[Sponsor Ad]

Theft, meanwhile, can lead up to three.

[Woody Overton]

Years behind bars in a fine. And the local police said no official complaint has been filed, but added that they would act if a family member comes forward. One online observer said the man betrayed both his son and his wife. He deserves moral outrage and legal consequences. And I feel sorry for that girl. First arranged into marriage and then taken by an older man. She never really had a choice. And Aman may never trust love again. Just look at what his reckless father did. These are different people's comments. So. But bizarre love stories are not unusual in India. In April A woman eloped with her would be son in law, taking over 350,000 rupees, which is what, $5,000? Under 4,000, he has cash and jewelry worth more than 500,000 rupees, which is about six grand. So anyway, that's kind of crazy India stuff.

[Cindy Overton]

It's just different cultures, I mean, different strokes, different folks.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, don't you lay one more down for us. We got to get out here. We're busy AF y' all rocking the world. Got everything going on. Just one more body of the elephant. One more by the elephant.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, my gosh, we got a big ass elephant.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Well, it's time for family matters.

[Cindy Overton]

We're going to California, San Marino, California. And it was, I guess it's upper California. It's a freezing night in Jan on January 6th of this year. And a picture. The in this little community is what they just people describe as picture perfect. It's just one of those little beautiful places to live. And there was a house fire. And inside the home when firefighters showed up, they found a doctor, Dr. Irene Gao Lai, who's a 56 year old physician in the home. And she's a devoted mother of twin boys. And she was dead in the home. But there, she didn't die from the fire. She had upper body injuries and the fire had been set deliberately. Investigators later confirmed that it was arson. So Dr. Gaolai was not just a caring parent, she was wildly respected in her field. She founded the California Diabetes and Hormone Specialists, Inc. Where patients praised her as their top choice physician. So it's a family matter. So we can kind of guess who killed her or set the fire and killed her, then set the fire. But her husband, 62 year old Yoon Lai, initially told the police he had spent the evening at baseball practice with their twin sons. And he claimed to have returned home to find the house already on fire. Yet the Los Angeles County District Attorney revealed six months later that the alibi began to crumble very quickly as they collected evidence. And Yun Lee was arrested and charged with murder and arson and obviously accused of killing his wife and setting fire to their home in a failed attempt to destroy the evidence. Their marriage was bitter. Divorce proceedings had been initiated in August of 2024, and conflict had continued from two decades prior. They just had a really rough marriage and then when they finally decided to divorce, she sought the divorce and he wasn't happy with that. So Li has pleaded not guilty and remains held on a $2.2 million bail. And the DA's office has issued a.

[Woody Overton]

Statement did they say if he was a doctor also? Yeah, one less good doctor in the world. And I know California's got the death penalty. I mean, 20 years of bickering and arguing and she finally files a divorce. He kills her and burns her. Nice.

[Cindy Overton]

Yep.

[Woody Overton]

There you go. It happens.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So we're going out to Miami and this is according to the Miami Herald and this is a bad story. So at a Miami day park, there's this dude hanging out and he sees this 11 year old girl. And it's around 7pm at the Gwen Cherry Park. Antoine Johnson walked up to the girl according to the arrest report. And he's. He's 18 years old, she's 11. And he asked her to go into the women's restroom to get toilet paper for him as there was none left in the men's room. She did. But when she walked into the bathroom, Johnson followed and promptly grabbed her and moved her into the last stall. He forcibly covered her mouth, causing a cut on her lip, choked her and then proceeded to sexually abuse her. He then pushed her to the ground and continued and force himself on her. And she just begged him to leave her alone. During this, a person walked into the bathroom and saw what was going on. Johnson ran out and the witness followed behind and yelled into the park. He just raped a young girl. Good Samaritans throughout the park took chase and captured him. And later on, Miami Dade Sheriff's office deputies arrived and arrested him. Deputy said Johnson at first denied the sexual battery, but later confessed with the caveat that he never penetrated her at any point. Right. This was such a good guy. Yeah. Johnson is facing charges of sexual battery on a minor, kidnapping and false imprisonment. A child. And he's still locked up.

[Cindy Overton]

Good.

[Woody Overton]

Don't go to the parks. And how do I say that? You know, we've never been park people.

[Cindy Overton]

No.

[Woody Overton]

And the other than Glory Hole, which everybody knows about. I don't really. I guess we've been blessed. We either be on the water or have land to be on or whatever. Never really had to go to parks and shit. And I get it. In cities like. Remember the first time flying to Chicago, thinking how green it was.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

How well planned out. And they had parks everywhere. But if you live in the city, that's your country.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And. But I don't know, Louise. I say that when I was in Tennessee, I used to go fly fishing and I'd go up in the mountains, I'd camp. They have really nice campgrounds at these state parks. Like they had bathrooms. You go in they were clean. They had toilet paper. Yeah, well, you couldn't have this in Louisiana.

[Cindy Overton]

No.

[Woody Overton]

Or so it'd be too hot. Secondly, the all graffiti up and in whatever. But anyway, y' all just be safe wherever you're at. And this is the last episode you're gonna hear before the live. I just. It's gonna be crazy, crazy time for.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, sorry. Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Thank you for correcting me the the last true crime time for. You're going to get a hashtag just for Bradley and I don't know what you're going to get on Saturday at. Oh.
