Hello everybody. Welcome to this episode of True Crime time for Wednesday, March 4, 2026. And I'm Woody Overton and, and I'm rolling solo today y'. All. One Tuesday or I guess yesterday now because I'm recording this on Tuesday, but Tuesday all lifers got the first episode of what happened to Madison. And y' all please go listen to it and share it everywhere. The tip line is open. 313RLRC tip and Madison went missing on Prox approximately November 29th of 2023 from Zachary, Louisiana, which is about 25 minutes away from me. And in the first, first two episodes I interview her mother, Ms. Lynn Rollins and we start to take a dive into the case. And the first episode is more about Madison and huh, it's a tough one and there's a lot more females involved in it that are either missing or have been offended against in this story. And it's, it's going to, we want to bring Madison. We want to find Madison first. How about that? And if, if it develops into a hashtag justice4, which I expect is going to, we'll change it at the appropriate time. But you know, each, each case is different. Just like Bradley stracers and Austin O' Banions and you know, just continue calling tips. 313RLRC tip these ladies in Madison's story, they, you know there's more than we talk about in, in just the first two episodes and, and there's I think there's seven that we know of at this time. They either missing there or that have been offended against by a certain individual. But let's bring Madison home. Yeah, it's real people, real life, real Crime and the. You know, Ms. Lynn, you'll hear crying a couple times on episodes. Very passionate about it and absolutely think it can be solved. And this time, not going against the police department. I think Zachary PD who's handling the case, did what they could do and are still doing what they can can do to bring Madison home. But it's a going to be a fluid situation. And now there's billboards up and been a cash reward offer and stuff like that. But these crimes don't happen in a vacuum. You know, they said if. If you commit a murder and you're gonna, you know, mess up at least 10 things, and if you can think of seven of the things that you messed up, you're a genius. And murderers are not geniuses, y'. All. They. They may be smart, but they're not infallible. So. And like. And that goes for all the cases that were working. The hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for AO on hashtag just for Haley. We're over $7,000, y'. All. We need, like 2900 more. So the evidence room and Scott Roeder can finish their work and we can present to the Cobb County D A and hopefully make that murderer stay in prison. And he's in jail for moving Haley's body and doing some destruction to police property. And he's in for 11 years, but he's going to get out. But the murder charges have never been brought, and they said they won't bring him unless they have a scientific evidence. And yes, we took it upon ourselves to do that. And they've already proven it. What they've tested so far that she couldn't have done it to herself. So. And there was nobody else there with Brooks Cleary. But they need more testing, so they present the total package where the Cobb County DA has to pay attention to it. So if you get a chance, go to any of our social media or you can go to the GoFundMe, which is run by Haley's mom. And all the money has been sent thus far that's been gathered to the evidence room to Scott rotor in the evidence rooms. And we just need, what, less than $3,000 to complete this part of that journey, if you will. All right, true crime time for Wednesday, March 4th. And on this day in 2019, the Yuba City serial killer Juan Corona passed away while serving time for murdering 25 farm workers near Yuba city, California. Now, Corona was discovered when a farmer he was working for discovered a butchered body in a freshly dug hole in his farm. And after further investigation, 24 other bodies were discovered buried on the farm also. That's crazy, right? How come nobody knows about this? Well, I'll tell you why. Because it was a bunch of immigrant workers. And it's not, I mean, I'm not saying they didn't work the case. Obviously they did. But, but the, these immigrant workers go missing and there's nobody to report them. And it kind of ties into Madison's case. The Madison was living her own life and, and once her mother realized, you know, she hadn't heard from her in X amount of time, that's when she filed the missing persons report. So that being said, y' all police calling you tips 313RLRC tip you can remain anonymous. I have pretty good feeling that we're going to be able to bring her home and, and take it from there. So. All right, let's go down to Florida. And then on Tuesday night they have an execution scheduled. And it's a start. Florida, that's where their execution chamber is. And a man convicted of fatally shooting a police officer with his own service weapon during a traffic stop. And he's, he was scheduled to be executed on Tuesday evening. Now, they asked the Supreme Court for a final appeal. So at the time I'm recording this, which is about 10 hours before his scheduled execution, I mean, he may get a stay, I don't know. But Billy leon curse is 53, now, is scheduled to receive a three drug injection starting at 6pm at the Florida State Prison near Stark. Curse was initially sentenced to death in 1991. Y', all, that's been a minute. Right after being convicted of first degree murder and robbery with a firearm. Now, the Florida Supreme Court found that the trial court failed to give jurors certain information about aggravating circumstances and ordered a new sentencing. Well, he got a new sentencing. The appeals process, these guys gets around in prison. Indeed, that'll always go the way they want. And he got a new sentence in. And Curse was re sentenced to death in 1997. And now this. This is Florida's third execution scheduled for 2026 which followed them. They had a record of 19 executions last year. And Republican got Governor Ron DeSantis oversaw more executions in a single year in 2025 than any other Florida governor since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. The highest number for that was eight executions. And that happened twice. Once in 1984, once in 2014, and that was under former governors Bob Graham and Rick Scott. According to the court records, Fort Pierce police officer Danny Parrish pulled over Curse for driving the wrong way on a one way street back in January of 1991. When curse couldn't produce a valid driver's license, Parrish ordered Curse out of his vehicle and attempted to handcuff him. And they train you from the academy on that. The most dangerous time take somebody into custody is when you go and put that first cuff on them and that's when they either going to fight flight or freeze. Right? Well, he fought Curse fault and he grabbed Paris's firearm. Curse fired 14 times, striking the officer nine times in the body and four times in his body armor. And there's a taxi driver that was close by and he heard the shots and he ran over to the scene and saw Parish on the ground and he used Parish's radio to call for help. So help arrived and Parish was rushed to hospital where he died from the gunshot wounds. Meanwhile, the police use the license plate information that Parish had called in before approaching Cursed to identify the attacker's vehicle and home address where natural they went to. And they arrested Curse. And last week the Florida Supreme Court denied appeals filed by a Curse and his attorneys had argued that he was unconstitutionally deprived of a fair penalty phase and his intellectual disability makes his execution unconstitutional. Pretty sure you should have thought of that before you shot him 14 times. But the final appeals are pending Tuesday before the U.S. supreme Court. And y' all, a lot of times they'll come back and they'll stop it for whatever reason. So again, I don't know if if he's dead when you're hearing this or not, but I'll give you an update on Thursday. A total of 47 people were executed in the U. S in 2025. Florida led the way with the death Warrant signed by Governor DeSantis and they outpaced Alabama, South Carolina and Texas which were next in line. They had five executions each and well, Louisiana had one in 2025, which was the first one from 2012. But beside the two Florida executions this year, Texas and Oklahoma have each executed one person so far. And what we're in the beginning of March, two more Florida executions have been scheduled for this month. One Michael Lee King, who's 54, he's scheduled to die on March 17. And the execution of James Aaron Duckett, 68, set from March 31. Now, all Florida executions are carried out by lethal injection. And they first shoot him up with a sedative to put him to sleep. To me that's too kind. Then they shoot him up with a paralytic and which, you know, naturally paralyzes their body. And then they. The third shot is the drug that stops the heart. Pretty humane way to go considering what he did to that cop. Right? So there, there you have that in hell or jail, whatever. But I mean at 1991 is 2001, 1121, that's 30, 35 years this dude's had his appeals process. And there you have it.

All right,

it's time for effed up professionals, we're gonna go way back to 2010 and tell you about a bloody scene which was found inside the four bed bedroom home in a safe neighborhood of Bethesda, Maryland in October 2010. And that they said it looked like a burglary that had gone horribly wrong. So Sue Markham, y', all, she was a 52 year old professor at American University and they said everybody loved her. And she lay dead at the bottom of stairs with signs of a struggle and a smashed tequila bottle close by. The screen to the kitchen window had been cut open, which indicated the most likely point of entry for the intruder. And there was a TV face down on the couch as though the. The intruder planned to take it but forgot it because he was in a hurry. And Markham's laptop, phone, purse and car were all missing. So. Right. Looks like a burglary. Well, maybe not. Within hours, her stolen car had been tracked down and the driver, Deandre Hamlin, was arrested and taken into custody. But the case is now being examined in a new episode of ABC's 20 20. It was, it was far from over, naturally. Right? It's because I'm talking about it now. The truth about what had taken place inside the home would turn out to be much stranger than the narrative that they were looking at thus far. So what happened was it was a staged break in in a one way love affair and more than $300,000 in missing money. And a decade long international manhunt to finally catch the real killer. So finally, in October 2025, 15 years after Marcus brutal death, George Ruda Landros, a Mexican born Spanish teacher, yoga instructor and stockbroker, who was once in a romantic relationship with the victim, was finally convicted of second degree murder over the beating and the choking, the death of the college professor, y'. All. It was a long drawn out conclusion to a case that ultimately span two countries as Landros evaded capture by hiding out in Mexico under a fake name for more than 10 years.

year, doing things right.

That means sleeping when I can, eating decent, staying active, and paying attention when something feels off. And for a lot of people, especially women, feeling tired or foggy at the start of the year gets written off as stress or burnout when low iron

can actually be part of the problem
- [18:33]
D
Iron deficiency affects one in three adults, and the symptoms don't always jump out at you. It can show up as constant fatigue, even when you're sleeping enough, brain fog or trouble concentrating, frequent headaches, irritability or brittle nails and hair breakage. When iron levels are low, your body has to work harder to deliver oxygen, and that can impact your energy focus,
- [18:56]
A
mood and physical performance.
- [18:59]

An iron deficiency can exist long before anything turns into anemia, which means you

can feel it well before it shows up on paper.

Land Rose. You know cat mouse game, Law enforcement been on the run for all that time and it's going to be aired on this Friday's episode of 20 20. It's actually pretty interesting story if you get a chance to watch it. The in an advanced clip from the show, the Montgomery County Police Sgt. Lawrence Haley and Detective Paula Hamill reveal how and while a fugitive fugitive wanted for murder Land Rose began sending the investigators taunting emails. Now you know you might have got away with you stupid but you want to pop which is piss off the police. Why send emails taunting the cops that hey I did this right? But during one of the the emails, Landress even invited Detective Hamilton across the border into Mexico to meet him, but with a chilling thinly veiled threat. And he said I welcome you to come to cafe in Morez to discuss further about Ms. Markham. This according to Detective Hamill and he also included in the email he said bring your Kevlar, right? Come on down to the cafe but bring your Kevlar. Well naturally the detective took that as a threat and you know, bring your bulletproof vest, right? Well, the investigators describe the wanted killer as an arrogant and someone who relished in playing games with the police. You again you pissed off the police. Sooner or later they're going to get you. He also started correcting their emails and looking for grammar mistakes in in the emails. The I mean I guess he had nothing better to do. But Markham, the victim had first met her future killer when she began taking Spanish classes and Landeros was her teacher and they became friends and they started going on trips together and they and started doing yoga together. Memories of yoga instructor and they they had a passion for it. And over time the relationship also turned romantic. Then unknown to any of Markham's friends and family, it also became financial. Markham was a stock trader herself and but Landeros, you know, was also a stock trader and a master manipulator and he convinced her to allow him to make joint investments on her behalf. The more the investments continue, the wealthier Lander Scott and the more Markham was driven to financial ruin. At the trial, jurors heard how Lander has got Markham to take out a $300,000 mortgage on her home and he placed it into two brokerage accounts which was controlled by him. And ultimately she lost more than $300,000 in Landeros got 250000 of it because he was stealing the money from the account. And they have Damon emails which presented the trial show how Markham fell into despair over her financial troubles and begged him to return the money. She never confided any of her friends or loved ones about the situation. So when Mark was found dead, when she was found dead, no one suspected Landeros. But investigators do what they do and they learned Landeros was the sole beneficiary of her five hundred thousand dollar life insurance policy. And they Noticed the evidence of the crime scene didn't add up to a burglary. And that the focus then shifted to Landeros. Police realized that the the screen to the kitchen window had been cut from the inside rather than the outside. And items on the one the ledge were undisturbed. Right. You know, I mean how stupid are you? The take two seconds, go outside and cut it from the outside. You don't think they test for that and you disturbed other in the house, knock the stuff off the windowsill. But there no DNA or other evidence connected 18 year old Hamlin to the murder. With police learning that he had found the car abandoned with keys and initially made off with it. That's the guy I told you all about in the beginning. They found in the car and they arrested him. And the two tequila glasses with still had tequila in them were on the side. Now the male DNA on one teal. Teal tequila glasses came back a match to the DNA found under Marcum's fingernails. And it all pointed to Marcum knowing her killer is in basically the. The she shared would. Would be a last drink with a friend before he chased her, attacked her with tequila bottle and then suffocated her. And then tried to stage the scene to look like a break in. But by the time the cops figured this out, Landeros ass is down in omeco. And in 2011 he agreed to cross the border until El Paso to Texas into Smith for DNA testings. Because they still didn't know it was him. Right? So he did it. And by the time it came back as a match to the crime scene it and they and they issued the murder warrant for him. Lander had already disappeared deep into Mexico again. And for more than 10 years Montgomery county and federal investigators tried to track Landeris down. And he was placed on the FBI's most wanted list. So Linda didn't stop, right? He. He's poking the bear on the police. He also bizarrely self published a book of poetry titled the Fugitive Poems. And the book was filled with themes around death. Then finally, thankfully the FBI received a tip in December of 2022 that Landeris was living in Guadalajara, Jalasisco, under the alias Leon Ferreira and he's working as a yoga teacher. And they finally arrested his ass and extradited him to Maryland to face the charges. And even after his arrest though because he's a special kind of. Even after his arrest he loved the attention and he wrote to the press and even the Mexican president to proclaim his innocence. And every dog has his day. Finally he goes to trial and he's found not guilty of first degree murder, but guilty of second degree murder. And he's 55 years old now and he faces up to 30 years in prison. And his that is just crazy. And so hell or jail, they finally called him. Moral of that story is don't piss off the police. You know, just. I just. You might give me once but I'm going to get you later. So it's time for family matters. Yeah, I always love the gyp stuff. When I was a little boy, that's when they found King Tut's tomb and actually got to see the display. And you know, they had their own set of gods and everything. I was talking to somebody about the other day, like how do they build the pyramids and mummify the bodies and take all the organs out without causing damage? Because they believe that if you that when you go cross over into the afterlife that you brought all your with you. Right. Well, let me tell you this story. Anastasia Shapalikin says she knew there was something wrong about her brother with just one look of him enjoying evening cigarette on her back patio. She said, that's not my brother. And she then began to fear for the safety of her 11 year old daughter Anna. And she ordered him out of the house. Or she said, hey, hey, get out or I'm calling the cops. Well, Alexander Alexand Shebekin, 32, was office bipolar meds which she knew made him delusional. And guess what? I'm pretty sure I kicked this ass out to you because he told her when he's smoking that cigarette, he said I am the Egyptian God of death. Okay? And you know he's got bipolar pass. Well get out. Right. So she kicks him out and that didn't end well for the rest of the family. Shablikin stabbed his mother, zoya, who was 52 years old, stabbed her to death and then he went on a knife rampage down her street. And of course the cops had called. And by the time they showed up at the cul de sac in Gig Harbor, Washington At 9:33am on Tuesday, Zoya and three others, Joanne Brandani, Luis Talley and Stephanie Kalia, were all dead. Now the Pierce County Sheriff's deputies arrived seconds too late to save the final victim. And one of them had shot Chablikin dead as he charged at him. Well, good for them, right? To save the taxpayers a dollar sorry for the victims. Zoya was killed while on the phone to her elderly mother Luba, after Shablikin locked her outside and started performing occult rituals and torturing her cat. Now where do you think he looked got that from? Hopefully that's something that's made up in his mind. There's not occult rituals online that show you Egyptian occult rituals online to show you how to torture a cat. But they Parentheses said she was talking to Zoya and all of a sudden she hears Zoya let out a blood curling scream. That's what Anastasia told the Daily Mail. She could hear them arguing and then the phone just dropped. Then Alex said, whoa, he got a high from killing her. I think it's disgusting now. Luba heard nothing else until the phone was picked up by a police officer. Anastasia is 30 and her car salesman boyfriend Rob Knowles is 59. Called all five deaths a tragedy. As a troubled young man was really a nice guy. When he's on his meds, the heartbroken sister insisted the man who slaughtered her mother and three others wasn't her brother. She said he was something else, something evil. I'm up and down and sometimes it's on barrel, Anastasia said of her emotions. But I have to be strong for Anna. That's what she would have wanted. I love my brother. Now I don't have him or my mom or a father. So Zoya was forced to kick him out of her home and get a restraining order last April, claiming he told her, your grave has been dug up. But she let him back in, right? I guess she loved her brother and thought he was on his meds. But anesthesia insisted. Zoya never gave up on her son. So she was a godly woman. She loved Jesus, she loved her family. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, baking, arts and crafts. She loved her son and she died loving him. So the. The. This is kind of sad. Zoya loved her family so much that she brought her two small children to the U. S From a tiny dirt poor village in Siberia with little more than the clothes on their back after her husband took his own life. Wow. The. It just goes on. Y' all talk about his mental history, struggles and all that stuff and, and how he was a good guy when he was on his meds and. And he'd get off of me, get on for a while and, and think, okay, I'm good to go, right? And he'd get off and sugar turn the so and the sister also goes on and talks about the Egyptian God stuff. And she said she looked at his computer and could see he was back to looking at Egyptian mythology, which showed he was falling off into his delusions of being The Greek God Osiris, which is the God of death and the underworld. And again, that's when she told him she, he would have to leave and he started killing everybody. Right? So I don't know, hate it, hate it for him, hate mental health issues for anybody, but I really hate the three people got killed and he, you know, because of that kind of a crazy story there. It's time for Dum dum in the court. Foreign. Has been jailed for permanently tattooing a group of young children in England. And Patrick Coe is 31, from Newcastle, which is about 280 miles north of London. He got sentenced to three years in prison for permanently tattooing three young children. Well, he was, he believed he was temporary tattooing them as According to the BBC in the local Chronicle now, he pled guilty to three counts of child cruelty, was given a 10 year restraining order at Newcastle Crown Court. During court testimony, co who left one of the children permanently disfigured. He was called staggeringly stupid.

part covered in this. According to the BBC, he used his own home kit to tattoo the children, leaving them in pain. You know, I got a couple small tattoos and they hurt, right? I can only imagine doing it to, to kids. But the quotations, they said the children complained of being in pain while co was tattooing them and his claim that the small designs would fade, they were false. And it's. According to Judge Sarah Mallet, the children were sent to the hospital for medical tests to detect possible infections and receive preventive antibiotics for hepatitis B and tetanus. Now, when confronted about that tattoos co initially claim that I don't see anything wrong with it. And he has since shown remorse for his actions. Yeah, well, it's kind of called your asses in court now, right? But according to the Chronicle, one of the victims suffered a minor infection and is currently receiving therapy following a traumatic incident. The second child said they were told the tattoo was temporary, it would come off. They had several injections and blood tests afterwards and suffered significant anxiety and distress as a result. The third victim was left upset and scared and also in need of therapy. They said the children didn't choose to have a permanent tattoo. They were put at risk by you giving them tattoos. They are visibly marked with a permanent reminder of you in this. And it's according to to Mallet in the Chronicle, they said this was a staggeringly stupid and foolish thing to do and also a very harmful thing to do. So co's attorney Brian Hegarty said that he didn't intend to cause the victim's pain quotations. He said he does now appreciate what he did was incredibly stupid and should not have happened. Well, when your defense attorney calls you stupid, you might just be the dumb dumb in the court episode on True Crime. Time for so it's time for family matters. All right. Time to go to New York. And in New York, a man was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison and connects with the murder of his ex girlfriend who he brutally executed on. Don't know another adjective for that, but brutally executed while she and her three children had been asleep inside their home. And this according to the district attorney Michael Burns. The killer sentencing on Monday, March 2, came about two months after he pled guilty to first degree murder in relation to the fatal shooting of Kayla Hodgkin on May 11th of 2023. And this is the Chattawaka County DA's office announced this all in a press conference. Burnham, who's 37 years old of Jamestown, was accused of breaking into his former girlfriend's home where she lived with her three children in killing her in May of 2023. This scored inspection news, but Burham is the father of one of the children who had been inside the home during the murder. Berm was represented by the public defender who didn't make a comment. Back to Us Weekly's request. On March 2, two months before Byrne killed Hodgkin, she had accused him of rape. And this according to the DA's office. He had been charged connection with the rape, but he hadn't been arrested. And by the time he shot her to death on the morning of May 11th of 2023, he knew he had the warrant, right. He knew she'd filed the rape charges. Then in a statement shared In January, the DA's office assistant DA Jason Schmidt called Byrne a monster who prosecuted assault to hold accountable for his heinous cowardly actions. So following Hodgkin's killing, he then set her car on fire and abducted a couple from Pennsylvania before he drove all the way to South Carolina. A long ride, y'. All. And with hostages basically after two weeks say they caught up with him. And in July 2023, after his arrest, Burham continued to be an and he escaped from the Warren County Prison in Pennsylvania, which led to a massive manhunt. After 10 days on the run, they caught up with him, and they almost always do. And ahead of his sentencing in Hodgson death, Schmidt said in January that prosecutors were looking forward to sending him off to state prison. She said, I hope he spends the rest of his life reliving what he did, murdering an innocent young mother and destroying a local family and traumatizing Kayla's surviving children. And y' all burn. Before the murder trial, he had already been sentenced to 25 to 50 years in prison in Pennsylvania for the kidnapping of that couple and the prison escape. Now his sentence in New York and his Pennsylvania prison sentence will be served concurrently. They said it's our intent that if he is still alive after completing his Pennsylvania obligations, that he be incarcerated for the rest of his natural life here in New York State. And they said it's always been our goal that Mr. Burham die in prison and they never be released again. Well, sounds like he doesn't need to be, right? I mean, he rapes, murders, kidnaps, escapes, and then the full spectrum of this. So it's time for worldwide crime. So remember we told y' all last week or maybe the week before, and I think everybody remembers the basically war going on in Mexico because the they. The Mexican authorities captured El Mo, or however you say his name, and while they didn't capture him, they killed him and then shootout. But then they had mass shootings in the streets and basically a war between the cartel and the cops in the military. Well, what do you do with El Mencho after he's El Deado? Right. Well, they buried him in. You know, funerals are expensive. The Even if you get a plain wooden coffin, it's expensive. I don't know how expensive they are in Mexico, but I can tell you El Minchos was a hell of a lot more expensive than mine will be. So the leader of the Hali Cisco New generation cartel was buried in a shiny golden casket. And at the funeral, they had a large military presence in. This is in house Siska, y'. All. And this is a state that gave name to one of Mexico's most powerful cartels. So they said. A federal official confirmed that Nemisio Esquira Cervantes, who's also known as El M, was buried in a cemetery in Zeppelin, which is a suburb of Guadalajara, which is Mexico's second largest city. And he was Buried on Monday, dozens of people accompanied the funeral procession, many carrying black umbrellas on a sunny day and with a band playing Mexican regional music known as banda. Now, Attorney General's office had declined to confirm the location of Mincho's barrel for security reasons. Well, first of all, I've carried a lot of people to their grays, male and female, big and small. And you know the saying, I'd rather be tried by 12 and carried by six. The lightest of coffins is. Is still heavy as hell. And then you got the body inside of it also. But can you imagine how much a golden casket weighed? How many people did they have to haul him? I mean, gold is over $5,300 an ounce, and you got a casket made out of gold. So anyway, they said there had been stepped up security around a funeral home since Sunday where large flower wreaths had been arriving without a name. Some did include the image of a rooster in flowers. And El Mincho is also called the Lord of the Roosters. The Mexican army killed El Mincho just over a week ago while they were trying to capture him. And he died from multiple bullet wounds. And this is according to his death certificate, which was attained by the Associated Press. The once they killed him, though, like we told y', all, it set off violence in some 20 Mexican states. And the death certificate fits with a description of the operation to capture Mitcho, which is given by the Defense Secretary, Ricardo Travella, who had said that the cartel leader and two bodyguards had badly had been badly wounded in a gunfight with soldiers outside a home in Tepalapa Jalasisco. And the three died en route to hospital. I'm pretty sure they were dead on the ground before then. They wanted to get him out of the area before all the his cartel homies could respond. But the death certificate specified that El Bencho had bullet wounds to his chest, abdomen and legs. Again, he was dead before they loaded his ass up. His body was taken to Mexico City where an autopsy was formed, and then they turned it over to his family on Saturday. The death certificate also notes that El Mencho was to be buried, which the standard practices in cases of violent deaths and to allow for additional forensic evidence to be gathered if needed in the future. Meaning they could dig him up, y'. All. But. And of course, the document didn't say where he's being buried. I, you know, if you're making a billions of dollars a year and you can afford to be buried in a casket that's got to be worth $5 million, I'm pretty sure the cartel has somebody now in a guard shack by the. By the grave, right? I mean, I would become a grave digger to get that g. That guy's casket. But the authority security concerns surrounding the bar location are well founded. Elementos killing set off retaliation by the cartel in numerous states and more than 70 people died. Between the military operation and the violence that followed, the government has said the security operations continue against other high ranking members of the cartel. Meaning they come in after their ass, right? Cut off the snake. Some head of the snake. Somebody else will go and become the head. They said it is customary for an air of mischief to surround the burials of drug lords in Mexico, which is something their supporters take advantage of to try to elevate them to being a legend. And within hours of El Mencho's death, there were already ballots, also known as narco Caritas, written about his killing right then. Making a saint, if you will. So in Quillicaim, which is in the neighboring Sonola state, was home to the Sonola cartel. There is a cemetery known for its luxury crypts and mausoleums. For one time, kingpins like Initio Corel, which is an old associate of El Mencho and another dude named Arthur Bellatron Leva. And there was the drug lord who was famously killed twice. His name was Nazaria Moreno and he's the leader of the violent and sweeto religious Knights Templar cartel who authorities said was killed in 2010 only to kill him for real in 2014. So I guess they got the wrong guy. I don't know. But they made him a legend, I can tell you that. Like Jesus reappearing. But it says sometimes the body bodies disappear. Like in the case of Herberto Lascana, who's the leader of the Felson Zeta cartel whose body was stolen in 2012. Or sometimes they die under bizarre circumstances. Like Amardo Carillo Fuentes, who is called the Lord of the skies. And he died in a botched plastic surgery, right? You hunting for him? I got all the money in the world, change my appearance and. But you did it in a Mexican hole and you died from complications. I'm pretty sure they probably killed that doctor too. In the end game or down in old Mexico, which we love to go to so much as my parents and everybody else did. God, it was just a good time. They. Well, I guess it's everywhere, you know, the. The shooting in Austin and y' all let me talk real quick about the war in Iran. And now, I don't know. It started on Saturday. This is Tuesday. When I'm recording this, and I think we've lost six or seven American troops by this time in. You know, wars happen for whatever reasons they happen for. They decided for our protection from future attacks and what have you and whatnot. And then ultimately, just like what happened in Austin, there are retaliations. And then of course, now Iran is attacking everything it can in counter attacks because we attacked them and people are dying. And the. Let's just pray for all the innocent people and pray for a conclusion to the war. You can't call it anything else. You can't call it a conflict. Whatever wars, war, you. You fire missiles and you attack and, and you kill their leader. You invade another country. That's war. So prayers for everybody is involved in that and prayers and no more sleeper cells or anything come out and, and kill anyone else. But I'm pretty sure that's a, that's a prayer that won't be answered. But you know, murder's murder and it all sucks. So what happened to Madison, y'? All? The next episode, I'm gonna drop those episodes. I used to do Haley's and, and Bradley and Austin's all on Saturdays. I'm gonna drop all those episodes from now on. All Madison's episodes.
