And then just got a lot of stuff, y' all, so just stick with us, bear with us. But you know, lots of true crime stuff going on in the world, mama. And the what we're going to tell them about today. And I want to start out with this because this is important. Right. We're gonna go to Los Angeles first.
Cindy Overton
Okay.
Woody Overton
And I know you don't know about this, but on Saturday, May 31, it was. There's a police officer got killed and another got wounded in Los Angeles in a shootout. And they said it was a hell of a shootout. So a Los Angeles police officer has died. Yeah. On this. Rest in peace, brother, and prayers for all that knew and loved you. And another was wounded and they had a shooting in a place called Baldwin park at 7:12pm local time on Saturday, May 31. Officers responded to a call of someone shooting rounds with a rifle. Who the fuck needs a rifle in Los Angeles? I mean, you're not deer hunting, right? So anyway, and. And a person was down and this was the 4200 block of Fieldhurst Avenue in Baldwin Park. And it's cord to Los Angeles County Sheriff's office. Now they, they said the bad guy started shooting at officers when they arrived. And the sheriff, Robert Luna is telling us at a press conference said he said one officer was struck and transport to the hospital. Unfortunately, he is deceased. After those shots were fired, other officers immediately went to their assistance which led to the officer involved shooting. The second officer was shot and transported to a hospital in stable condition. And another victim, believed to be an adult male, was found deceased with apparent gunshot wounds when the police arrived on the scene. Now, the suspect, the bad guy, the idiot, was confirmed by police to be an adult male who was also struck by gunfire and was transported to local hospital in stable condition. That can't kill Bad grass and but he's now in custody. Of course the identities of the victims and the suspect have not been released at this time and it's an ongoing investigation. But they had some ring camera footage which was the Los Angeles Times got And it said 11 shots were heard good at 7:16pm on Palm Avenue. Now second video had an additional six shots were fired 10 minutes later near the corner of Palm and Billhurst avenues as helicopters circled overhead. Nobody. You know I'm all about owning guns and I just don't understand why you need rifles inside the city limits. I mean I don't think they should ban and it's, it's all right. But nobody but the cops should have arrived inside of city limits. But I mean maybe, I don't know.
Cindy Overton
What if you lived in Baton Rouge?
Woody Overton
Well, I mean you have the right to own them, but yeah, I guess know guns don't kill people. People kill people. Yeah, but they said it sounded like fireworks just going off constantly back and forth. But then you hear patrol cars from everywhere coming in, swarming in. It was crazy. This witness told ABC7. So the LA County Sheriff's Department, the West Covina and El Monte police departments all responded. They said one of our officers was murdered tonight. He answered a call of duty. Shots being fired to protect their residents in Baldwin Park. That's according to the Baldwin Park Police Chief Robert Lopez. Chief Lopez said his fallen officer is. Was an amazing man and an avid snowboarder and a Dodgers fan. Said it's extremely tragic to have to deal with it praising and this just. I don't know, I don't know. What do you do? I mean that I probably should have said what I said about rifles because if I live in the city, when I live in Baton Rouge, I always had rifles. But I just don't think. How about this? I don't think there should be any rifle fire within the city.
Cindy Overton
Well, that's for sure. I don't think there should be pistol fire either. In the city. Yeah, you know, I mean there's no.
Woody Overton
I understand that the real quick since we're hitting big nasty headlines, we, you know, soccer fans really, really rabid. You think like football fans, like LSU Tiger fans and you know, NFL fans. Rabbit. Well, I don't think they really have shit on soccer fans. Every once in a while somebody will win a championship of the United States. They burn shit out and stuff like that. Well, in France there are two people dead and 192 others are injured after the Champions League final. Right. So on Saturday May 31, the violent clashes broke out while soccer fans were celebrating Paris's Saint Germain's 5 and 5 to O victory against Inter Milan. Now this. According to Paris police chief Laurent nune, they said two people died during the incident, including a 23 year old man who was riding a scooter when he was struck by a car. A second 17 year old victim was fatally stabbed in the Parisian town of Dax during the celebration. And this is according to Monday the news outlet the Prosecutor's office said the suspect is currently on the run. And the French Interior Ministry announced that of the 559 people arrested during the clashes, including 491 in Paris, 320 were actually taken into custody. So they took a bunch of photos and they showed smash bus shelters. I guess it's like bus stops and riot police firing tear gas and water cannons. As a chaos raised near the Champaya Luge Avenue NPSG's park de Princess Stadium, the police reported 692 fires, including more than 200 burned vehicles after this, this final championship game. During the press conference, the chief Nune said that fireworks were also thrown at officers after the match. He said, we really wish I could do a French accent. It's not a funny story. We really need to differentiate the fact that there were real PSG fans enjoying their night and individuals who were not here to watch the game and just to have a go at police officers. Now, nine members of the police were injured alongside the 192 civilians in the violence. Nunez also said that several firefighters were attacked while responding to car fires and four family members were injured after a car accidentally careered into fans. I guess that means careered, you know, how about just ran some fans over. During the celebration, the driver handed himself into police and was placed under arrest. He tested negative for alcohol and drugs. So they said. True PSG fans are getting excited about their team's magnificent performance. Meanwhile, barbarians have taken to the streets of Paris to commit crimes and provoke law enforcement. This according to the French Interior Minister Bruno Rutilier. He said, I have asked the internal security forces to respond vigorously to these atrocities. All for my support to the prefect of police and all the police officers who are ensuring everyone's safety this evening. It is unbearable that it is impossible to celebrate without fearing the savagery of minority of thugs who respect nothing. Yeah, the soccer fans are crazy as.
Cindy Overton
Yeah, but that doesn't make you always say why are you going to destroy your own problem? Well, like why are you destroying your.
Woody Overton
You and I were in D.C. for a major Event with my parents. My daddy was still alive. And the. We had to get through the crowds that the police had to form lines. Little bitty, let's say you're not. I can't even outstretch my arms. You had to march through these little bitty lines and make these little bitty interest because there's thousands of these out there that were there just cause problems spitting on you, whistle blowing whistles, doing everything else. I remember my dad told that one lady, you screamed something. He said, it's your breast stain.
Cindy Overton
I think she did. She spit in it.
Woody Overton
I don't know though. I mean, they're that close to us, y' all. And that's the same kind of things they got there. They were just waiting. They were waiting for it to be over. So just cause havoc. And that's the state of the world today, unfortunately. And people are losing their lives.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
Yeah. You burn shit up. Okay. How did that work out for you? And what. What calls did you further? What did you do that was good in the world today, right, you sirs and madam assholes. So there you go. I just want to get this couple of big, big ones out of the way. Unfortunate people lose their lives, especially the cops, man. And you know, first responders getting injured and murdered because idiots.
Cindy Overton
Yeah. Crazy.
Woody Overton
Yeah. That what you got to say. Fuck. I don't know. I mean, we were. We were in New Orleans the. The day before the Super Bowl. Yeah. And it was. I've never seen such police presence, etc. But the still New Year's Eve, New Orleans, that kill at 17 people.

Did you know your birthday doesn't tell the whole story when it comes to how old you really are? Learned that your biological age, basically how old your cells and organs actually are, is one of the most powerful predictors.
Woody Overton
Of your long term health.
Advertiser
That's why I was so curious to try the true age test from True Diagnostic. It's a super simple at home test that helps you uncover your biological age and gives you insight into your risk for things like Alzheimer's, heart disease, even early mortality. I ordered it myself because I wanted a clearer picture of my health beyond just checkups. It blew my mind to learn that if your biological age is just five years older than your actual age, your risk of major illness can go up by 30 to 50%. That was a wake up call. But what really motivated me was this. Up to 90% of biological aging is driven by lifestyle. That means how we eat, sleep, move and manage stress really matters and we can slow it down. True Diagnostic doesn't just show you your biological age. You get a full personalized report loaded with science backed steps to actually improve your health over time. I'm genuinely excited to see my results and make some smart changes. Maybe dial in my sleep, rethink my supplements, or just build better habits. Overall. The whole process is easy. Just a quick finger prick at home. Pop your sample into the prepaid mailer and a few weeks later your results are online with clear, actionable insights. If you care about protecting your health and want to find out what your real age is, head over to TrueDiagnostic.com and use my code RLRC to get 20% off your entire order or subscription.

Woody Overton
All right, tell me about a cold case. I hope they called a motherfucker.
Cindy Overton
I hope I'm pronouncing this place in California correctly, but it's High and Palm. High and Palm.
Woody Overton
People Care. And anybody? Nobody. None of our listeners. None of our listeners except for the people who live in Hind Palm or wherever it is, care.
Cindy Overton
Okay, well, there's been a case that has haunted Northern California for nearly four decades.
Woody Overton
Wow. 40 years.
Cindy Overton
Yeah. And the mysterious disappearance of 48 year old elementary school teacher K. Josephine Medine has taken a chilling turn. She vanished from her home in High and Palm in August of 1987, leaving behind like all of her stuff, her personal belongings, her vehicle. There was no signs of departure, like of struggle or departure. And her husband, Nicholas Medine, reported her missing upon returning from a business trip. Despite extensive searches and interviews, no immediate clues emerged. But the case took a really weird, horrible twist on November 25th of 1987, 17 years old, when the Humboldt County Sheriff's office received a package. And the package contains skeletal remains.
Woody Overton
Nice.
Cindy Overton
Accompanied by an anonymous letter and a map leading to additional remains near Amman Ridge Road in eastern Humboldt County.
Woody Overton
Can't wait to hear. I hope you have what the letter said.
Cindy Overton
So the remains were identified as Medine's through dental records and a death certificate was issued in 1988. The identity of the individual who mailed the remains remained anonymous. And investigators speculating that it could have been the perpetrator perpetrator or someone who stumbled upon the remains.
Woody Overton
Pretty sure.
Cindy Overton
I don't think.
Woody Overton
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
If I found some remains, I'd be calling.
Woody Overton
Yeah, like you. I don't want somebody coming on knocking on my door. Wherever.
Cindy Overton
No, I mean. Anyway. So in a further development and on February 16th of 1993, a partial skull was discovered on a beach near Trinidad Head, which is approximately 150 miles from the original discovery site. From the map that the anonymous person left and at the time, DNA testing did not yield a match and the skull remained unidentified. But however, in 2024, a congressman named Jared Huffman had been made a point to want to resolve cold cases. And so the skull was sent to Othram Inc. Which is a private. And then we love Arthur not Okay, so in case others.
Woody Overton
Yeah, but they hear us talking about all the time. I'm just saying he finish your sentence. I just want to tell I love Arthur me. I have actually let me do something for Arthur me. How do I get to go back to the other screen? Applause Arthur me. Y' all rock.
Cindy Overton
So Athra Mink is a private forensic lab specializing in genetic genealogy. And by comparing the DNA from the skull with a sample provided by Medine's daughter, the California Department of Justice confirmed in May of 2025 that the skull did in fact belong to Kay. Cold case investigator Mike Fridley of Humboldt County Sheriff's Office expressed hope that this new development might encourage individuals with information to come forward, stating, I'm just looking for somebody that might have information that could help with the case. He noted that as time passes, people who were previously reluctant to share information might now be willing to assist. You always say people grow up, they get lie right.
Woody Overton
More mature. As Barbara Blanch, I'll continue to call in your tips.
Cindy Overton
So Nicholas, the husband, passed away in August of 2018. What do you want me to look?
Woody Overton
No, just a little bit Going a little bit rapid fire or I got to start interrupting more.
Cindy Overton
Authorities are urging anyone with information related to the case to contact the Humboldt County Sheriff's office at 707-441-3024.
Woody Overton
And so they don't have. It's a cold case that's not solved.
Cindy Overton
Yes, it is.
Woody Overton
At least the victim got to come home or gets to come home. Be properly buried, I guess you would say.
Cindy Overton
I guess.
Woody Overton
Well, I don't know. That's, you know, cold cases, they are what they are. And we are taking on a new one. And we're recording it a week from yesterday. And it'll be dropped the first time, probably the following Saturday, June 19th or something. I can't remember. I don't know what it is. But, you know, well, you know, it's time to fly the friendly skies, except for sometimes they're not so friendly. And this dude from Kansas, his name is Julius Jordan Priester, and he got his ass in trouble on a plane, right? Obviously. So you know what he did?
Advertiser
I mean, we've had people do so.
Woody Overton
Much stupid shit on planes. This guy is no exception. But. Yeah, I'll give you a guess.
Cindy Overton
Grabbed somebody's butt.
Woody Overton
He grabbed somebody, but it wasn't their butt. All right? He. He is facing charges after he grabbed a flight attendant and dragged them up the aisle of a plane. I wish I'd been on that plane. I'd have knocked that out. To Julius Jordan Priester, who's a whopping 24 years old from Kansas. He got his ass arrested. And he was a char. He was charged with assaulting a crew member on a flight with which y' all. This. This flight was taken off from the Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Connecticut. Now, of course, it's a federal crime the Department of Justice handling. So on May 27, this asshole was on board an American Airlines flight which was flying from Connecticut to Chicago. And in about 30 minutes into the flight, which is barely enough time to get up and level off, right? And turn on thing. You know me now, move around the cabin. But anyway, 30 minutes in the flight, he stands up. I bet you can't do. Guess what he did when he stood up.
Cindy Overton
That's something loud.
Woody Overton
I don't know. You gotta quit following so many airplane stories that he. No, but he took off his shirt. I mean, you know, hey, you know, when a stands up mid flight and starts getting undressed, something's about to go down, right? So. But he. He took off his shirt and he ran to the back of the plane and he was yelling, help me, help me. I'm like, if I'm on the plane, I'd be like, you just woke me up. First of all, now we about to dance. Then he then grabbed the flight attendant who was seated and shouted, you're coming with me. And he forced them onto the ground. He then attempts to drag them up the aisle. Oh, I mean, why not just shove them without. You got to drag. You got a skull. Drag them too. But. So here comes Woody Overton and helpers. Here come the lifers. All the lifers would have done it. The several passengers intervened and were able.
Advertiser
To get Priester back to his seat.
Woody Overton
But authorities say he continue acting erratically and making incoherent statements. Now this led to the plane captain saying, oh shit, got an emergency needle. And they say turned around back to the Bradley airport and the plane landed. And guess what happened. I didn't know anybody could guess this one. Connecticut State police were waiting on this. And he was removed from the airplane and taken by ambulance a hospital there. But I'm sure people got in a few good licks on him and he was just acting stupid, right? So anyway, he got arrested it charged with interfering with the flight crew and members and in attendance. Guess how many years you get for that?
Advertiser
30 years.
Cindy Overton
What?
Woody Overton
30 years. I don't be playing less for killing animals.
Cindy Overton
Get less for killing kit people.
Woody Overton
Truth. All true. So. But American Airlines, you know, they got to issue a statement. They said we do not tolerate violence. And that they said the CBS News said, we thank our team members for their professionalism and our customers for beating this dude's ass. It's the first time I've heard they said we thank our lifers for beating these dude this dude's ass. And said we thank our customers for their assistance. And you know, I just don't know.
Cindy Overton
Have you seen or heard or read anything about the woman that was in the Denver International Airport and she was like reading this statement? Like she was saying if she did not read this statement that she was going to be killed.
Woody Overton
Why don't she say that and do a plane straighten sonalmobile on it?
Cindy Overton
Well, I'm just asking. I don't have the full.
Woody Overton
If I had heard. If I had heard it, I'd have read it as a story.
Cindy Overton
Okay, so.
Woody Overton
But anyway, there's your planes, trains. You can start choosing your own planes, trains and automobiles. But when you're number 38 in the world of all daily news shows, we might not want to up.
Cindy Overton
No.
Woody Overton
All right, you go. And then I. Then I'm gonna end the show with a couple headline things.
Cindy Overton
Okay, well, we're gonna go.
Woody Overton
Where we going?

Former college principal and English lecturer mayor has been sentenced to life. It's not funny. Imprisonment for orchestrating a deadly parcel bomb attack that killed a newlywed man and his great aunt like the Unabomber and severely injured the bride. And this all was done under the guise of a wedding gift.
Woody Overton
You know it. I think terrorists, if they really want to do something, I probably should say this. I'm giving them a good idea taking over airplanes and shit like that. The Everybody, everybody. How many. How many days a week do we get shit delivered to our door? Oh God. And Even my mama, 83 years old, probably gets five packages a week. I would just mail out mass to mass mailbombing, tell everybody Geez Louise, Woody. I mean might get away with it.
Cindy Overton
More back in the day. What was it? The white powder that they would send an envelope?
Woody Overton
Anthrax. That never works. I don't think anybody ever died from it.
Cindy Overton
That's good.
Woody Overton
I didn't say it was bad, just it doesn't work. But all I did is I can see the videos of them. You know somebody mailed white powdery substance to a congress member and they're evacuating the whole Capitol House, etc.
Cindy Overton
Yeah. Well on February 23rd of 2018, just five days after their wedding, the 26 year old software engineer Summiati. Right.
Woody Overton
The lady in India, maybe a guy, I don't know.
Cindy Overton

Cindy Overton

Woody Overton
Like a box of chocolates.
Cindy Overton
He even went to the wedding and the funeral. That's kind of like serial killers to deflect suspicion. You always say that. So the case initially baffled investigators until. I don't know what it is. An anonymous letter was sent to the local police chief in April of 2018. And the letter provided details only the bad guy would know.
Woody Overton
He's still getting off. He's getting off on.
Cindy Overton
So the letter was written in what they describe as polished English, not like, not in slang, maybe like just very proper English. Claimed that the bomb was sent under the name. And he gave specific details of how the bomb was sent and the name it was sent to. And he cited the motives of betrayal and money. San Nikjawa Sahu recognized the writing style as mayors leading police to focus their investigation on him.
Woody Overton
Did they they ever get this?
Cindy Overton
Further evidence, including handwriting analysis and a video of him constructing the bomb, solidified the case against him. So on May 28 of 2025, Judge Sonali Patnaik sentenced mayor to life imprisonment and imposed a fine of 50,000 Indian rupees. Just $505.
Woody Overton
Thank you, judge. I don't have to call you and ask you why you did that. Right, Right. The. I mean, you know, just think if that dude had actually had a purpose in life besides saving firecrackers and getting the gunpowder out and catching a Rick Shaw and doing. I mean. I mean, he could. He could have might. Could have solved cancer using brain for good.
Cindy Overton

And the dude already started filming a reality TV show. So the, you know, whatever he said when he was in prison that he got to talk to his kids every day and he got to email his wife every day and he said he worked out every day from like 10 in the morning to 11:30 and all he had to do was work out.
Cindy Overton
Well, he also has said that he noticed that some gross injustices that were happening within the prison. He was privy to a lot of things that other people were not. And he did not like that. And he wants to shed light on that and he wants to do something about making, you know what?
Woody Overton
That better be glad he wasn't in Angola because he got raped every day. And a lot of the federal prisons are like. And I know this because I looked at going to work better bureau prison at one point. A lot of the federal prisons are fucking literally like they say country clubs. Ask Martha Stewart.

Woody Overton
What's. What, what. What's the human trafficking? Because he. He called up escorts.
Cindy Overton
Yeah, but you don't know if those escorts are doing it on their own free will or.
Woody Overton
How does somebody calling in escort make them a human trafficker?
Cindy Overton
To be quite honest, I do not know enough about this case to talk about it as if I do, but I do know that I have read enough psalm that he had. Just like they compared him to Epstein just now. They. He is. He did play a significant role in human trafficking. I don't know how. I mean, I don't. I'm not gonna wait. I'm not gonna.

All good.

I didn't think that dude was that famous. I can't. I can't even think one song he wrote. Of course I didn't listen by the end but whatever. I mean, it'd be like Tom Cruise. You think he's more famous than Tom Cruise?
Cindy Overton
Yeah, but I think that he. I don't. Again, I don't want to speak to this like I, I know anything, but he got into the other side. He, he wasn't just the entertainer. He got the entertainment. Like he produced them and he made it. It was a mogul in it. So.

Chief Robert Lopez provided details, emphasizing the tragic loss and the chaos that ensued, including 11 shots heard at 7:16 PM and additional gunfire 10 minutes later. The suspect, an adult male, was apprehended and is currently in stable condition.

Shifting to international news, Woody and Cindy discuss the violent aftermath of the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) victory in the Champions League final. Celebrations turned deadly in Dax, Paris, resulting in two deaths and numerous injuries due to clashes between fervent fans and law enforcement.
Police Chief Laurent Nune highlighted the distinction between genuine fans and those inciting violence, stating, "We really need to differentiate between true PSG fans and individuals who were not here to watch the game but to cause trouble."
Notable Quote:
Cindy delves into a decades-old unsolved case from Northern California. In August 1987, K. Josephine Medine, a 48-year-old elementary school teacher, disappeared without a trace. Seventeen years later, skeletal remains were found, linked to Medine through dental records. The case remained unresolved until recent advancements in genetic genealogy provided new leads.
In May 2025, DNA analysis confirmed that additional remains found near Amman Ridge Road belonged to Medine, reigniting the investigation. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward, offering a glimmer of hope for closure.

The explosion killed Sumai instantly and severely injured his great aunt and Rima.
Sharma's motive stemmed from professional jealousy and a desire for revenge after being ousted from his position. The case was finally resolved through DNA evidence provided by Medine's daughter, showcasing the power of modern forensic techniques.
