Craziness on hashtag justice for Bradley, which is now hashtag justice for ao or that's short for Austin Abanion. That's a s t I n o'. Banion. And one doesn't go without the other. She was found dead nude on the ground in a yard a day after she gets out of jail for. And she gave detectives and law enforcement account of what happened to Brad when Bradley Strasner was murdered and all the information and passed the polygraph. And then she gets out of jail on a. A probation violation, which you don't get out on. They take her from the jail in the middle of the night to her residence to retrieve some evidence, something in a box, and let her out. And she, being the witness, ends up dead. So one case goes, and they said she didn't have a mark on her. And I have the autopsy, and I also have the photographs, her body. And she, you know, was severely damaged in several places. So y' all hashtag just for Bradley, hashtag justice for AO on Tick tock, Facebook, wherever you post, please, especially about this case, please put those hashtags. I do hashtag just for Bradley and hashtag Justice4AO. And I answer every single comment on TikTok because the TikTok world started this case. And a lot of our tips are coming through that now. A lot more coming through our other social media. And the 313RLRC tip, we have media getting involved again. I'll talk about that later on. But it's. It's. I have so many tips, y'. All, Honestly, goodness, I can't even reach back out to everybody yet. And, of course, you know, some of them are really valid, and some of them are, you know, there's a shooter on the grass, you know, the kill President Kennedy, Right? So. But every one of them has to be worked. Go look at my Tick Tock and follow me on Tick Tock, because I'm doing post about it almost daily. And I just played a recording of an anonymous tip that was called in that talked about how Detective Vance shouted down the hallway when Austin was in jail and said, get her ready for a polygraph. We're going to Lake Charles in front of God and everybody. And the caller says that everybody on the female side heard, well, that's true. But guess what? They got trustees always in the hallways, cleaning the hallways, moving around. Everybody could have heard one more. It only takes one more person. And the day after she was found dead, a female puts on Facebook, snitches get ditches all tied together, bust their ass. And so please go listen to the series if you haven't and go follow us on Tik Tok. And now Patreon convicts, we are putting up the full all types of report for you to read this week. It's a lot of medical jargon and stuff, but it's a lot of you good information in there that proves that. I can't say it proves that law enforcement slime. Well, it proves they were. Well, no, the photographs doesn't matter. It's, it's going to be up for y' all and I'm this next episode I'm going to be doing, I'm going to be diving further into the autopsy. Last week I only got as far as the death certificate. And talking about that very, very important. Nothing to me is more important than solving these cold cases. And yesterday we dropped a episode of behind the Scenes, which is Sheriff Jasonard's podcast where I was on it as a guest. And we, we dive into Ms. Barbara Blunt's case again, the other one that we have continuously it's been open all these years and already this morning we've gotten four tips. So Sharon and the this stuff works, y'. All. And, and I wish we had had all this back in my day when I was a detective. So there you go. I'm sorry I was rolling off of the mouth this morning, but it's very important to me, y'. All. And I hadn't even got boots on the ground yet. But that shit's coming and it's not free. So it, I'm sorry for, I mean, I'm not sorry that we have so many national commercials and sponsors because it's good for us as a business and we got to make the money to pay for the investigations and everything else. Right? Right. And that when I do go boots on the ground, I don't know how long I'll be gone for. And I don't know how we're going to work out the podcast and but we'll, we'll get it done. And let's roll.

[Cindy Overton]

All right.

[Woody Overton]

All right, y'. All. The it's unfortunate, it's horrible deal and need to bring it to you. And nothing is more dear to my heart than this. And we talk about this stuff all it's from Fox News. An off duty New York City Police Department officer was fatally shot in Manhattan on Monday and has been identified as 36 year old Dideroo Islam, who's a father of two whose wife is pregnant with her third child. Islam is an immigrant from Bangladesh. He was one of four people killed when 27 year old Shane Tamara opened fire inside a midtown Manhattan office building on Monday evening. Tamara, who is a Las Vegas resident with a history of mental issues, began shooting in the lobby before moving to another floor and later turning the gun on himself. Now the office building house both Blackstone, which is an investment firm, and the the NFL headquarters among other companies. Islam was working security for the building when he was killed. President Trump called the shooting tragic and said that he trusted law enforcement to get to the bottom of why this crazed lunatic committed such a senseless act of violence. He also expressed sympathies to the loved ones of the victims and concluded God bless the New York Police Department and God bless New York Police officer did rule Islam represented the very best of our department. He was protecting New Yorkers from danger when his life was tragically cut short. That's according to NYPD what they wrote on X Now. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch mourned Islam in a post saying may police officer did rule Islam's memory be a blessing. New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who is a former NYPD officer, met with Islam's family and attended the dignified transfer of the slain officer. Adams said that Islam embodies what the city is all about. He's a true blue New Yorker, not only in the uniform he wore and he the mayor ordered all flags on city buildings and stationary flagstaffs to be lowered to half staff until further notice. In honor Officer Islam now said Officer Diderot Islam died as he lived, a hero and a protector of New York City. We will never forget you. Adams told Fox 5 New York on Tuesday that it appeared as though he was going after the employees at the NFL, but he took the wrong elevator bank which is how he ended up on the rudens management floor. And New York Governor Kathy I don't know how to say her name. Hucho expressed a similar sentiment, saying he represented the very best of New York. An immigrant from Bangladesh, he joined the NYPD to protect his city and gave his life doing so. He leaves behind a wife, two young sons and a third child on the way. We hold his family in our prayers tonight. She also ordered flags half staff and in honor of Islam and the other victims of Monday shooting. You know it's, it's crazy. You know, it just goes on and on and now of course they go to talking about guns and all that stuff. But the so Blackstone executive Wesley lapartner was killed in the shooting and the names of the other two victims have not been released yet. And the NFL confirmed that one employee was seriously injured. And that's according to commissioner Roger Goodell, so. But they haven't identified the employee.

[Cindy Overton]

That's so sad.

[Woody Overton]

It's crazy. You know, we were doing the live show at Southeastern and the, the head officer that was there for security, he and I started at Southeastern together all those years ago and he's got like six months until retirement and I told him our way, I said bro, just do me a favor and don't get killed. He saw. No man, we're safe here. We're safe here. I said, bro, all the school shootings and the mass shootings and everything. He said, well we're safe as we can be and we're prepared if that happens. You know, we train a lot, which they do, which is a good thing. But it just. Hell, I don't, I don't know what you do anymore. Yeah, yeah. I just don't. I don't know. I don't know what the answer is. I hate it. Prayers for, for officer Islam and, and for all the victims and just another crazy, crazy deal in the department.

[Cindy Overton]

I mean.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, all the. Everybody loving brothers and sisters. It's a, it's a, it's a brotherhood and sister. It's a, it's a family. You know, when you're. Put your lives in each other's hands every day, it's a, it's something you'll never understand unless you do it. So.

[Cindy Overton]

No, I mean I, I can imagine it affects like just the whole community, even the first responders. That. Because you got to know all the EMS workers.

[Woody Overton]

Absolutely everybody.

[Cindy Overton]

Everybody.

[Woody Overton]

So when they talk about, about the, the mayor went on the like, you know, different departments call it different things, but it's kind of like an honor ride from the, the morgue to wherever they're going to be waked, whatever. Now what most people don't know is they have the honor guard and that that office officer is never be alone even in the mortuary, even at the funeral home until. Through the funeral, until they put him in the ground. They will have in full dress uniform officers to stand guard over him 24 hours a day. Yeah, I mean you can cry that time because it's gonna make me cry. And, and you know, I, I come against these officers in, in like Detective Vance. Yeah. I don't have anything personal against that dude other than he's just an idiot. They, according to everything that's come out and, and there certainly are bad cops. I get that. I've put them in prison you know case are talking about oh nobody's going to make them answer. Da da da. That's the just last week a couple or two weeks ago a couple police chiefs in the state of Louisiana got got arrested but I knew two separate sheriffs, two separate departments, two separate charges that are now in federal prison and one of them died in federal prison. So they sooner or later you got a answer. If somebody steps up and takes on the fight like we've taken on the fight for Bradley and A.O.

[Cindy Overton]

You got a lot of heat when you turned over the document all of your everything to for Courtney's case.

[Woody Overton]

Yep. Had to but but I turned I didn't just turn it over to Cedric Green. I turned it over to after I was told and I believed in Tanner and them that they wanted to step up and work it and they didn't give a damn. Right Same thing West Baton Rouge the you know those guys stepped up and different one different cases and things. The certain amount in new blood that actually bleeds blue and gives a damn like officer is on you know. Yeah gave his life. He wasn't even on duty.

[Cindy Overton]

No.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, I'm going to go take us back to February of this year and we're going to Houston, Texas. And a 15 year old and a 16 year old were planning a mass attack at Memorial High School in Houston. And investigators say this is what caught me. The girls had discussed planting pipe bombs throughout the school and using guns to carry out the deadly assault on student and staff. I have not heard of a girls school shooting yet. Oh, maybe I have.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, they have, yeah. And the one in Knoxville.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, that's exactly. Well, anyway, the threat was discovered online and quickly escalated to a multi agency response. The FBI's Threat Mitigation Team coordinated with Spring Branch ISD, which is independent School District police, the Houston Police Department and the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. And so within 30 minutes of receiving the tip, both girls were located and taken into custody. So thank goodness they weren't able to act this out. But the 16 year old, as a former Memorial High School student was arrested on campus. And the 15 year old was a student at Willis High School in Montgomery county and she was picked up later that day. At the time of their arrest, no explosives or firearms were found, which led authorities to believe the plan was still in its early stages. But they were glad that they were able to act swiftly and, you know, find it in its early stages. So five months later, in July, earlier this month Both girls pleaded guilty in separate juvenile court proceedings and the older teen admitted to charges of conspiracy to commit murder and possession of a controlled substance in Montgomery County. And then the younger girl pleaded guilty to making a terroristic threat, which is a third degree felony. And the hearing was in Harris County. Both were sentenced to probation until they turn 18 in order to undergo psychiatric and mental health treatment. Prosecutors have emphasized the gravity of the threats and praised the rapid response that prevented the tragedy.

[Woody Overton]

Crazy. You know, a lot of times these kids and shit talk about it. Not really the ones that talk about it that you have to worry about, it's the ones that don't talk about it. But yeah, thankfully it didn't come to fruition. And I'm about to give you a twofer. It's time for worldwide crime. Foreign out to Australia. Right into an airport. Well, yeah, to the Brisbane at Perth airport. And this happened on July 14th. We'll lighten it up just a little bit. Not really light for the crew members but the, they had to do it on the flight and he got told to take a seat. I don't know if they were getting ready to land or whatever, but you know, he's standing up and flight attendant says sir, please take your seat. And he told him go yourself. No, they were preparing for departure and he's like no, I gotta use the bathroom. They're like no, you need to take your seat. We can't pull off and until you take your seat. And so he's like no, I gotta use the bathroom. Like no, take a seat. And he then pushed the crew member, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

So the, which the crew member then ran to the principal which is the captain of the airplane and, and said hey look, we got a serious problem here, right? And they captain calls in to get the police from the airport, which is kind of like the police at, at universities, right? They, they just sit around waiting on like this to happen. So the airport officers went to the gate and removed the man from the plane. I'm pretty sure that's general wording of they skull drugging. And while they were doing so, this guy continued to be an. And they said, they said he was uncoop with the police, which makes me doubly believe that they removed him gently in law enforcement terms. The police shared an arrest image of the man being taken away from the flight. And he was wearing a white button up shirt and black slacks. The police did not say if he appeared to be under influence of alcohol or any other substances at the time. Now the AFP inspector Peter Brindle said airline crew members work to ensure a safe journey for all travelers and that any aggressive or violent behavior towards them was unacceptable. The AFP has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to the assault or mistreatment of airline staff. And anyone who commits such an offense can be prosecuted. So this dude was 59 years old and he's been charged with one count of assaulting the crew member and which they say, I guess it's got to be some Australian terms contrary to the section 318 of the Criminal code. But if found guilty of this charge, he could face up to 14 years in prison. Wow. He should have sat his fucking ass down. So he goes before the Perth magistrates court on July 29. And they say there have also been a number of. Of unruly passengers flagged in airports across the United states. And the FAA said there have been 934 unruly pass reports in 2025, and that was as of July 27th. That's 934 fucking assholes holding up flights.

[Cindy Overton]

They need to put them all in one jail together.

[Woody Overton]

They better not ever did. But I'm on a plane.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't understand why people. What do you get losing your patience. What do you get? Like, how does it better.

[Woody Overton]

Well, since 911 you get, you get some jury in a. In a hotel room, be in the jail cell. So the FAA said anyone who's flagged as unruly passenger may face felony convictions and fines up to 37,37,000 per violation for being an asshole. They don't say asshole. They say unruly passenger.

[Cindy Overton]

I just don't understand what you get out of being an unruly passenger. I mean, it's not going to make the plane fly faster or make you get there sooner or. No, I don't get it. Well, I wonder if you ever got to pee.

[Woody Overton]

I don't know. It's time for family matters. Foreign professionals.

[Cindy Overton]

So we have a senator, a Minnesota state senator that we're going to be talking about today.

[Woody Overton]

Shout out to our Minnesota lifers.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes. So, Nicole Mitchell served as a Minnesota state Senator representing a suburban district east of St. Paul, a Democrat and a former Air National Guard lieutenant colonel. So, former National Guard lieutenant colonel can't talk. Colonel. She earned her seat in the state Senate in 2022, and she was representing the Woodbury and Maplewood area. On the night of April 22, 2024, police responded to a report that someone had broken into a Detroit Lakes home, and it was the home of Mitchell's Estranged stepmother and her name was Carol. And when officers arrived, they found Nicole. And Nicole was in the basement of the home dressed in black. This is the senator.

[Woody Overton]

The senator and former colonel in the military and everything else. Yes, she's dressed in black. She's dressed in black in somebody else's home.

[Cindy Overton]

In her stepmom's home.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, her stepmom, yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

Carrying a flashlight, who had been. The flashlight had been covered with a black sock. Like to. I know you know better than me. She told officers she had come to retrieve belongings that of her deceased father, specifically his ashes. And her stepmother refused to give it to her. And at the time, the two women already had a strained and contentious relationship. So during their arrest, Mitchell told officers, I know I did something bad. She later testified at trial that her true intention was not theft, but rather checking in on her stepmother, who has Alzheimer's disease and denied intending to steal. But she dressed in black in the basement.

[Woody Overton]

That's what it offended attorney told her to say.

[Cindy Overton]

A Becker county jury deliberated for just three hours before convicting Mitchell of two felonies. First degree burglary and possession of burglary tools. Following the verdict on July 18th of this year, Sen. Senator Majority leader Aaron Murphy reminded the public that Mitchell had pledged to resign if convicted and urged her to honor the commitment. I don't think she can do her job from jail.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, well, if she gets out, that be like one of those. Like, you have to vote me out. I mean, come on, man. Get the out of. You're. You are a colonel in the military and a lawmaker. Yeah, that ought to be on a dumb idiot. I mean, and that's just. That's mind blowing.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. There's a little bit more to the story, but that, that, that.

[Woody Overton]

I think you said enough. That that's stupid, stupid, stupid. And I got another. It's time for worldwide crime. You've got to remind me to call the people WL and I are supposed to call to try to make that fit in. And you don't have to boom that out because it directly ties into this. So we're going to the Turks and Caicos, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Are we really going to Turks and Caicos or just for a story? No, that's beautiful.

[Woody Overton]

Beautiful. Beautiful island, beautiful water, beautiful diving. Everything is just beautiful. People come from all over the world to go to Turks and Caicos. Everything is beautiful except for what happened. And they said what is happening here is unlike anything we've ever seen before. And that's according to the premier, Charles Washington Misk. And he said this is not a situation we should accept. Well, you might ask, what's the situation? Three people were killed and 10 others were injured at a popular nightclub in the Turks and Caicos Islands. And what the locals are calling the island's first mass shooting, not their worst. Their first four suspects were involved in the shooting on Providenciales early Sunday. And this according to Police Commissioner Fitz Bailey in the ap. Bailey called the shooting deeply disturbing and says no arrest been made yet. That doesn't really bode well for your police department. The island's not that big, but.

[Progressive Advertiser]

So we are now having a gangland type slaying.

[Woody Overton]

And a lot of this gang violence seems to be concentrated in our Haitian communities. The same guy, Ms. Said he encouraged the Haitian community to work with police to understand how guns are being smuggled into the Turks and Caicos Islands. Now let's talk about that for a second. Got a house full of guns. Got guns everywhere. More guns than that. I know that have. We have. Right. But that's, you know, our right to bear arms. It ain't like that. And most people in America, forget the. The other countries, you know, not even a lot of them, you're not even allowed to have. And certainly they don't have a gun manufacturing plant in the Turks and Caicos. Right. So that shit is like dope getting there is one thing, but a gun getting there is a whole different. Whole different ball of wax. So anyway, again, he said what is happening here is unlike anything we've ever seen before. They told CBS News that the shooting injuries range from minor to serious and that nine of the people injured had gunshot wounds. I'm pretty sure if you get a gunshot wound, it's serious no matter what.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Even if it's a gray, it's serious to me if I gotta get stitches. So the hospital and Providencialis was on lockdown to protect the shooting victims while two of them were flown overseas for further treatment. Yeah, I'm sure they not too familiar with gunshot wounds. And Turks Caicos. That's Turks Caicos is not cheap.

[Cindy Overton]

No. So kind of paying for security. And we don't even have that there anymore.

[Woody Overton]

We're not going there anyway.

[Cindy Overton]

I know. I'm just saying in General, they said.

[Woody Overton]

$10,000 reward is being offered to those with any information leads to the capture of the suspects involved. And they yet they have yet to determine a motive for the shooting. They said this shooting comes at a time when the islands are cracking down on illegal immigration and estimated 10,900 Haitians live in the Turks and Caicos islands which represent a third of the population. So they got like 40,000 people in the whole island anyway. The. Around 80% of the Haitians who live there live in Providencialis, 20% of whom have permanent residency. And that's according to the United Nations Human Humanitarian affairs office. Isn't that crazy? You just can't go anywhere. I don't. I had to come in by bait. The. I mean they, the guns probably came from the US but they had to come in by bite. I mean it's not like I get on a plane with a firearm. I mean you could, you can check a firearm but then it's, it's, you know, when you leave the country you better have the firearm.

[Cindy Overton]

Don't they use a lot of like those small plane like whatever. The Alaskan type of planes. The sea do whatever those are called to smuggle and stuff. Can't they plane it in and just land in the water and just take off all the guns and then.

[Woody Overton]

But what a planes run on gas? Yeah. A boat, you can carry extra gas and put it in while you're still at sea. A plane. Those small planes like that only have like 300, 400 mile range. And if you run out of gas in midair, how are you going to refuel?

[Cindy Overton]

I understand that. I didn't realize that that's not a great place to refilm.

[Woody Overton]

But anyway, that's crazy. Hate it. It happens everywhere now I guess and it's just the way it is. So I don't know. All right, what you got?

[Cindy Overton]

Got another Family matters.

[Woody Overton]

It's time for family.

[Cindy Overton]

We're going to San Antonio.

[Woody Overton]

I love me some San Antonio.

[Cindy Overton]

Me too. So Charles Beard, who's 49, appeared calm and composed as deputies entered his San Antonio home in South Bexar County. Inside they discovered human remains wrapped in plastic and other materials, decomposing obviously for several weeks. Investigators believe that the body wife, 44 year old Angela Byrd. Relatives had raised concerns after Charles confessed to harming Angela. And so deputies went for a welfare check and they arrived and located Charles hiding in a nearby home. And during questioning he admitted to strangling his wife during a physical confrontation on June 16. He also says that he bit her face which drew blood. Charles stunned investigators with his demeanor. And they say that it was. He was saying, well it's my first crime ever. I've never. I mean he was like good one.

[Woody Overton]

To start with, buddy.

[Cindy Overton]

He said literally go big or go home.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

Can you imagine interviewing someone and saying yep I did it. Go big or go home.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, I got a lot of confessions, but no one ever said that.

[Cindy Overton]

Sheriff Javier Salazar later called that remark one of the most disturbing he's ever heard.

[Woody Overton]

He didn't give a fuck.

[Cindy Overton]

Over the following month, Charles remained in the trailer. So when he murdered her, he. This is the backstory. He remained in the trailer with the decomposing body, and he had used many different things to try to mask the odor. He told his son that Angela had left him even though the body was inside the trailer with him and his son. And his son eventually became suspicious when he noticed a foul smell and pressure. Well, noticed a foul smell. Charles eventually confessed to his son and told him he would eventually be caught. I don't know how old the son is. So when authorities searched the property, they found not only the wrapped remains, but also blood stains, cleaning supplies, trash bags, and Angela's personal items hidden throughout the trailer. X ray scans confirmed human skeletal remains under the wrappings, and investigators noted the presence of decomposition fluids stored. Decomposition fluids stored in containers.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, God.

[Cindy Overton]

So he was arrested and charged with tampering with evidence for concealing a human corpse. Murder charges are pending the medical examiner's confirmation of the cause of death. And after. At a later hearing, he was formally charged with murder. And he is being held in Bexar county on a $650,000 bond and also pending a mental health evaluation.

[Woody Overton]

Let me tell you how bad. It's like a gel. The juice that your body makes when you die and you've been decomposing like that. I have literally. I've never told this. I have literally had to go home and burn clothes. It won't come out. It's. I said at the last. Live. You ever smell it, you'll fucking know it. And unfortunately, I've got it on me. Trying to move a body and sloughs off. Even though you have gloves, you get on your shit and burn it.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Nothing else you can do. So this dude's living in a trailer in the middle of the summer, in June. As hot as San Antonio. I know. Been there, done that work there in. Yeah, hopefully. I'm sure he's probably the one that called it in. There you go. Well, you know, you and I have been thinking about taking a trip out to a different part of Nevada. Either Tahoe or Reno or whatever. Right? Tahoe being more picturesque and in rural and, you know, the lake and the mountains and the stuff surrounded and the other one, Reno, just being maybe like a mini bag or something. You know, the different places to try and all that. Well, tell you one place we're not going to and it's called the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino. And on Monday, July 28th at 7:25am we need a button for this.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

The. The 911 got a call to report of an active shooter at the Grand Sierra Resort Casino. So two people were killed and multiple others were wounded in the shooting outside the casino. On Monday, July 28, officers responded to report of an active shooter. And that's according to the Reno Police Department. Police said multiple victims were treated at the scene and taken to hospitals, though their conditions remain unclear. Now according to the Associated Press, the Reno Gazette Journal and Fox News officials said two people were killed in the shooting. Now the gunman, and we don't know why or anything yet, y'. All and the gunman has not been identified. But you know, take him into custody. You got to treat him like anybody else. And they gave him medical treatment. He's been treated for gunshot wounds after he got into a shootout with the police. I'm pretty sure that sit on the ground and bleed for I would make sure every. He'd be cuffed. I make sure everybody else taken care of and everything else. And if he bleeds out, he bleeds out. Fuck him. You're just shooting at me now. I got to take you to the hospital. Doesn't really work in my world, so. But they say his condition remains unknown. They said the Reno Police Department arrived on scene within two and a half minutes. Officers immediately located the suspect at which time an officer involved shooting occurred. And they saying it still remains an active investigation. The Sparks Police Department and the Wash Ho County Sheriff's Office are assisting in the case. And so we're trying to put together what happened and if it happened at various locations. And that's according to Reno Mayor Hillary Sheev, what she said to the Reno Gazette. So anyway, we are gathering statements. Well, you know, in Reno, like they call Reno, like the biggest little city in Nevada or something like that.

[Cindy Overton]

I think so. I don't know.

[Woody Overton]

Siri, what do they call Reno?

[Cindy Overton]

Here's an answer from Britannica.

[Woody Overton]

The city of Reno in Nevada is traditionally known as the biggest little city in the world. So I, I do. I mean good for them. They don't have a lot of homicides, but they get assist assistance from other departments and I guess they needed it. Yeah, guys. Maybe multiple locations and I get. They would be overwhelmed. Yeah. So 7:25 in the morning.

[Cindy Overton]

That's horrible.

[Woody Overton]

The, the. What's going on 7:25 in the morning I get people might be gambling and But I don't know what's going on down there Reno. But that's all I got for today. Y' all go listen to behind the Scenes the podcast and follow them like it and comment that you're a lifer.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes.

[Woody Overton]

So sure far them know but also the you know it's a very important case near and dear to my heart Ms. Barbara Blunt's case and we're going back over everything again and we have information man we got a lot of we just need more so and believe me, those guys are working their asses off on it and to this. Yeah. Even as we speak when we were on the air right Now I had two messages from Sheriff Richard. So the Brevard regarding Ms. Barbara. Wouldn't it be something after all these years. It would be amazing to to bring her home or a piece of her home and put the ass family.

[Cindy Overton]

That's all I would want.

[Woody Overton]

I put the in jail. No, if you're her family you'd want justice too.

[Cindy Overton]

[Cindy Overton]

I'm saying bringing home in my world meant justice too. At solid. That's yes, of course I would want justice and I would want every itty bitty wrongdoing. Any. Any law that was broken I would want added to that.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

And whatever they would get that they didn't wear their seatbelt once.

[Woody Overton]

Right. And then some. And if they killed them or raped them they'd be lucky to ever make it to trial cuz I'm pretty sure they'd be taking a trip down on murder by you.

[Cindy Overton]

Well we might be sitting in jail.
