Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Historical Note & Setting The Tone

• [02:15] Woody offers a brief, powerful reflection on the Ford Hunger March of 1932 as context for doing what’s right during hard times, laying thematic groundwork for the episode’s focus on seeking justice against the odds.

“...it was a shit show, right? And they're marching... crazy hard times, hard times. Now the life goes on.” — Woody Overton (03:05)

---

2. The Madison Renae Allen Case: Updates & Community Action

• [03:18] Woody provides updates about Madison, a young woman missing from Zachary, Louisiana. He recaps his interview with Madison’s mother and calls the situation a "real shit show," but notes that unlike some prior cases, he does not cast suspicion against local police.

• Woody clarifies that for now, the case is being pursued as "What happened to Madison?", not yet entering the "Justice For" campaign—emphasizing the importance of evidence and process.

“I'm pretty sure Madison is dead, but I'm not going there yet. And it's not a hashtag justice4 yet because, you know, we're going to let y'all call in your tips and continue to guide me.” — Woody Overton (04:04)

• Community response is strong:
  • Billboards and flyers are up in Baton Rouge ([05:10])
  • Woody urges listeners to use hashtag #WhatHappenedToMadison across social media to keep attention on the case
  • Listeners are encouraged to continue calling in tips (313-RLRC-TIP)

3. Justice For Hailey Johnson: Evidence Analysis

• [06:48] Updates on the GoFundMe for the forensic investigation in Hailey's case—$7,170 out of $10,000 at time of recording, still needing $2,830 ([06:48])
• Hailey’s mother, Ms. Barbara, is actively sharing video evidence and progress updates via social media

Inside the Evidence Room — Scott Roeder’s Analysis

• [07:35] Forensic analyst Scott Roeder introduces his review:

  • Public investigation into the death of 20-year-old Hailey Johnson
  • Goals: To review all physical and forensic evidence and reach scientifically-supported conclusions
  • 911 calls, police body cam, and interviews are used

• Dramatic moments extracted from audio and video evidence:

  • The 911 call and initial police exchanges paint a chaotic, emotionally charged scene. Fiance Brooks Cleary initially appears "chill" and nonchalant, in sharp contrast to prior emotional outbursts ([10:01], [10:16])
  • As police question Brooks about the shooting, listeners hear live, raw exchanges that capture denial, confusion, and volatile mood swings ([12:06] - [16:28], [21:07])

“Our first look at Brooks is jarring. He's smiling, cracking jokes and laughing like this is no big deal. A stark contrast to the crying man we just heard on that 911 call...” — Scott Roeder (10:16)

• Notable detail: The moment Brooks is told Hailey is dead and slips off his engagement ring ([13:18])

"Watch his right hand here... he slips off the engagement ring. No words. That gesture in real time." — Scott Roeder (13:18)

• Repeat loops of Brooks's denials and agitation are summarized, with forensic experts noting the tactical importance of consistent and inconsistent responses ([23:23])

Forensic Science Steps In

• Scott Roeder lays out his approach for upcoming evidence analysis:
  • 3D scene reconstruction: mapping blood patterning, weapon position, bullet trajectory, timing, and movement
  • Physical re-enactments with individuals matching Hailey Johnson's dimensions to test whether self-inflicted gunshot is physically possible ([25:00]-[29:52])

"The question isn't what we feel happened. The question is, what will the evidence allow? So if you want the answer that holds up under the light, stay with me, folks. Episode two, we rebuild the scene and let the science do the talking." — Scott Roeder (25:00)

---

4. Woody’s Perspective & Commentary

• Woody underscores the difference between emotion and science, lending professional weight to what he believes—based on evidence and years of experience—is not a suicide via shotgun.

• He gives grisly, unvarnished details to explain why the forensic facts are pivotal, referencing:

  • The impossibility of the wound dynamics if Hailey shot herself (e.g., "She'd have to hold up this eight or nine pound shotgun directly even to her face, pull the trigger, right." — Woody Overton, 29:16)
  • Brooks’s odd post-incident behavior, including changing shirts and removing his ring

• Woody advocates for continued donations to the GoFundMe for further forensic testing. He reiterates the importance of scientific certainty in pursuit of a murder conviction—making sure there’s "no way, not only beyond a reasonable doubt... [but] beyond a shadow of all doubt by scientific certainty." ([31:07])

“I know I wasn't there but from my years investigating experience...Haley's life story needed to be told. Haley's what happened needed to be told in its entirety. This is not a 45 minute television show.” — Woody Overton (32:48)

---

5. Real People, Real Impact

• Woody expresses empathy for the victims’ families and stresses that these are not “TV shows,” but real lives affected.
• He shouts out to Ms. Barbara (Hailey’s mother) and Ms. Lynn (Madison’s mother), emphasizing the human element and relentless advocacy required in seeking justice ([33:56])

“These real people, man... These aren't just TV shows, people. This is real shit.” — Woody Overton (34:31)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Woody’s candid tone:

  • “It was a shit show, right? … Hard times. Now the life goes on.” (03:05)
  • “There's no such thing as a coincidence. And this, this thing is a real shit show.” (05:44)
  • “If it can be proven that there's foul play involved, I promise you it will be handled right.” (04:34)

• Scott Roeder on forensics:

  • “The question isn't what we feel happened. The question is, what will the evidence allow?” (25:00)
  • “Suspicion isn't proof. Episode two is where we put the emotion down and we pick up the evidence.” (24:57)

• Brooks’s emotional swings:

  • [13:18] “What the fuck are you talking about?” (Brooks Cleary)
  • [21:07, 22:10] “I can't even figure out what the fuck happened to her! Are you fucking kidding me?”

Plus whatever the Woody wants to say. How about that? And let me tell you this.

[Narrator/Host]

On this day, March 7th in 1932,

[Woody Overton]

the starving Ford Motor employees marched in protest for the improvement of work conditions outside the factory, right?

[Narrator/Host]

The company had laid off two thirds

[Woody Overton]

of its employee employees due to the impact of the Great Depression. Remember that people couldn't afford to buy food. They had breadlines the government set up. And the you oftentimes hear about people saying they were a product of the Great Depression. They never threw anything away. But it was a shit show, right? And they're marching. But it was a peaceful march but it soon turned violent when nearly 50 police officers and Ford's security guards showed up on the scene. And then

[Narrator/Host]

Sugar turned the ship.

[Woody Overton]

They confronted the protesters and four workers were shot to death. And 60 workers were injured. And another worker died months later due to the injuries sustained during the what was a peaceful protest. Right. Crazy hard times, hard times. Now the life goes on. So that being said, y' all Madison's case. Holy shit. The keep calling in your tips three one three RLRC tip. And if you didn't listen to it, go back and listen to this past Tuesday's episode of Real Life, Real Crime. It's called what Happened to Madison and young lady went missing from Zachary, Louisiana, right here in my backyard and interview her mother about circumstances surrounding her disappearance. I'm pretty sure Madison is dead, but I'm not going there yet. And the and it's not a hashtag justice4yet because, you know, we're going to let y' all call in your tips and continue to guide me in the I'm not against the police. The Zachary Police Department in this case, that's where she went missing from. This is not like that. Every case is totally different. This is not hashtag just for Bradley. Not hashtag just for AO. Yeah. Continue calling tips on that case too. There are those cases and then, you know, it's not hashtag just for Haley. This is what happened to Madison. Now, if what happened is what I think what happened and and we can prove it, then it's going to be a hashtag justice4. But these people up here being the law enforcement and the district attorneys and the judges, I know them all. And that if it can be proven, if it's proven that there's foul play involved, I promise you the will be handled right. So this tube like Patreon of convicts. You already have Tuesday's this. This Tuesday's EP episode coming up, the second episode where our. Our body count is up to seven, y'.

[Police Officer]

All.

[Woody Overton]

Seven. And we're not done yet. And the course there's a person. I mean, you can't call them anything else but a person interest. Say I'm not calling them the suspect or whatever, but there's no such thing as a coincidence. And this, this thing is a real shit show. But calling your tips. I've been getting some already. There's billboards up now or a billboard up in Baton Rouge about Madison. There's flyers in people's yards and stuff like that in my local community. And we want to bring awareness to the case and Bring Madison home so her mama can bury her right? Then Madison is alive and we'll prove that to. But hashtag a hashtag what happened to Madison when you do a post about it that's on all our social media, please, please, please do it. Hashtag what happened to Madison in Haley. Let me look it up, see where we're at now. I think we're right at 7,000 something. The Haley's case, y'.

[Brooks Cleary]

All.

[Woody Overton]

The gofundme that her mama set up to pay the evidence room. Scott Roeder and them is is still at 7,170 out of 10,000. So we need another $2,830. And Ms. Barbara has posted. Let me go there and see if I can describe you the video. But you can go to the crew page or where have you and Ms. Barbara has posted some of the videos that the evidence room has made thus far. I think if you see it that it will help you either share the story or it will either help you. It'll help you get reins if nothing else. Right? So.

[Scott Roeder]

Special edition of evidence from investigations. Today we are going to be looking at the death of 20 year old Haley Johnson. Her family has asked me to conduct a public investigation into the cause and manner of her death. Our goal is to review the physical and forensic evidence provided and come to conclusions to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty. The events leading up to her fatal shooting. For context, we will be playing for you. 911 calls showing body camera footage and interviews with her fiance Brooks. Warning, the following material is graphic and violent in nature.

[Brooks Cleary]

91 1. What's the location of your emergency? Hi, I'm at Campus Edge 950 Hudson Road Southeast.

[Police Officer]

Some guy just came knocking on my door to my apartment saying that his wife is stroking out and hasn't been able to breathe for a few minutes.

[Brooks Cleary]

Okay.

[Police Officer]

And got me to call and ran off to try and help her.

[Brooks Cleary]

They're in apartment 312.

[Woody Overton]

Yes, Y'.

[Brooks Cleary]

All.

[Woody Overton]

That's within minutes.

[Scott Roeder]

Firefighters are on the scene. The weapon is secured and the apartment is controlled. And Haley's fiance Brooke is detained as the first wave of responders try to make sense of what happened. Here's what the body cameras captured next.

[Police Officer]

Beyonce. Okay. Weapon.

[Woody Overton]

Okay.

[Police Officer]

What's going on? Gunshot to the head with a shotgun. Perfect. All right. All right, man. Come here.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Police Officer]

Stand up. We did a quick look on him. We didn't see him.

[Woody Overton]

Turn around.

[Police Officer]

Face this one. Yeah. And reach in your pockets.

[Woody Overton]

Turn around.

[Police Officer]

Yeah. Sorry, I was trying to pull my Thing back right now. You're just being tight. Okay.

[Woody Overton]

They're cuffing Brooks on the balcony out where he been sitting. Nonchalant weapons on you.

[Brooks Cleary]

No.

[Police Officer]

Do you mind if me search you?

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Police Officer]

All right. You want to get that side?

[Woody Overton]

He's just chill.

[Narrator/Host]

No problem.

[Scott Roeder]

Hey.

[Police Officer]

All right, you got shoes or something? In the house? Yeah, in the house. Yeah. All right. Where they at? Well, they're gonna be in the house. Yeah. Well, obviously we're at in the house. Probably Nike's.

[Brooks Cleary]

What?

[Police Officer]

Probably on the right.

[Scott Roeder]

Now we're on body cam. And our first look at Brooks is jarring. He's smiling, cracking jokes and laughing like this is no big deal. A stark contrast to the crying man we just heard on that 911 call moments ago. And an even sharper contrast to what we're about to see once officers step inside of the apartment.

[Police Officer]

They just rolled her over. The shotgun was underneath her. And they touched nothing but the shotgun and the shell. All right, I put that glove on.

[Scott Roeder]

Okay.

[Police Officer]

All right. Is that an empty shell or something? It was in it. I ejected the loaded. Gotcha. There's nothing else. Our safety?

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Police Officer]

Yeah, nothing else.

[Scott Roeder]

Number two.

[Police Officer]

That was the only shell in the room.

[Woody Overton]

Okay.

[Police Officer]

Where was Ski when we first came up? Sitting right next to her.

[Woody Overton]

Cops are walking inside. Y' all.

[Police Officer]

This way. Shoes over here.

[Woody Overton]

Shoot

[Narrator/Host]

face down.

[Police Officer]

She was laid like this. Just a little bit further back. Shotguns right here. Splatter rain is behind the couch. We got fragments over there and over there. Front of her face was completely deformed. But don't know where the actual shot went through. I'm assuming the front. Yeah, that's what we're at right now. I talked to him. He's in the back of my car. Yeah, but he's very happy. Go lucky. Okay. His wife or fiance is like this. The only person who stuts a shotgun as now is fire that had on gloves just to clear it. Yeah, because he was still in here.

[Scott Roeder]

After what we just saw inside of the apartment. The scene shifts outside. Brooks, the same happy, go Lucky, smiling guy we met on the body camera is now cuffed in the back of the squad car, headed to speak with investigators. And once the questions start, that calm, casual mask doesn't last long.

[Police Officer]

Am I free to go? No.

[Woody Overton]

No.

[Police Officer]

Am I being detained? Yeah. Okay. For what? You've been detaining. Well, Bailey, Haley's deceased.

[Brooks Cleary]

What?

[Police Officer]

What the fuck are you talking about?

[Brooks Cleary]

What?

[Police Officer]

What I needed is what.

[Brooks Cleary]

What are you talking about? Haley is just. Wait. You better not be lying to me.

[Police Officer]

Right now. Dude, lie about that,

[Scott Roeder]

bro.

[Police Officer]

What the.

[Brooks Cleary]

Are you serious? God. Dude. What the. What's. What happened?

[Scott Roeder]

Watch his right hand here. The moment they tell him Haley is dead and they think he did it, he slips off the engagement ring. No words. That gesture in real time.

[Police Officer]

Figure out what happened.

[Brooks Cleary]

Go. You got to be kidding me, right? Like, this is a joke.

[Police Officer]

I'm a do all this. And you went downstairs and you got your neighbor. You came up there with you. That's what I. We talk about people. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. That's why I'm asking my neighbor, and he came up.

[Brooks Cleary]

What the. You even talking. What the. Are you guys talking about right now? You're telling me Joy is dead?

[Police Officer]

Yes.

[Brooks Cleary]

Dude, you got to be kidding me right now. Like, you guys have to be kidding me right now? There's no way.

[Police Officer]

Look, man.

[Brooks Cleary]

Okay, dude, that's the love of my life. You don't understand. What the. You gotta be kidding me, dude. Like, this is not possible. This can't be happening right now, man. What the.

[Police Officer]

Come. This is.

[Woody Overton]

What are you saying?

[Brooks Cleary]

If that made any sense.

[Police Officer]

I mean, we tried to give you. You said she had a bloody lip, and you're sitting on the futon and you're holding her. She relapsed up.

[Brooks Cleary]

What if I told you your wife was dead right now?

[Police Officer]

And then I was like, that's for me. But don't you get the fuck out of my face. Shut the fuck up.

[Brooks Cleary]

I can't. Fuck. Are you serious? You actually gone?

[Police Officer]

She's gone, and you know that. Shut your fucking face. Dude, honestly, I'm so sick of you. And you know that now.

[Commercial Announcer]

What the fuck?

[Brooks Cleary]

I mean, why the fuck would I know that?

[Police Officer]

You.

[Brooks Cleary]

What the fuck.

[Police Officer]

What happened to her?

[Brooks Cleary]

What's wrong?

[Police Officer]

That's what we're trying to talk to.

[Brooks Cleary]

What the fuck happened?

[Police Officer]

You're the last person that was with her alive. That's why we're trying to figure out what happened.

[Brooks Cleary]

Dude, you think I fucking know? What the fuck is wrong? Like, what happened? What happened to her?

[Police Officer]

You guys, we're in the apartment. I. All day together, alone.

[Brooks Cleary]

Yeah, you can't do, like, a little forensics or whatever the. Like. Like, what the happened?

[Police Officer]

You will. We don't have that.

[Brooks Cleary]

What happened?

[Police Officer]

What we have right now is your statement to figure out what happened. Forensics come later. You're telling me that my fiance is gone.

[Narrator/Host]

I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, and I don't sit around making promises myself. I'm not going to keep, but I do believe in starting the 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 ridden off as stress or burnout when low iron

[Woody Overton]

can actually be part of the problem

[Narrator/Host]

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,

[Woody Overton]

mood and physical performance.

[Narrator/Host]

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

[Woody Overton]

can feel it well before it shows up on paper.

[Narrator/Host]

That's why I recommend Sideroll from Farming Nutra. Sideroll is a premium iron supplement powered by the patented Sucrosomia technology.

[Police Officer]

Nothing has been true.

[Brooks Cleary]

What the.

[Police Officer]

Nothing has been true. You're fat. Now.

[Brooks Cleary]

I'm getting questions on some shit and I can't even figure out what the fuck happened to her. Are you fucking kidding me?

[Police Officer]

You are the last person to see her in your live. You are the Archmager. Whatever happened, happened. We need you to tell the truth.

[Brooks Cleary]

You think that I would withhold insane about this? Are you kidding me? That's the love of my hat, dude. I can't believe you guys are even questioning me about this. You should be. You should be.

[Police Officer]

You better be lying to me right now.

[Woody Overton]

You.

[Police Officer]

I swear to God, you better be lying. She better not be going.

[Scott Roeder]

Okay, fair warning Everybody. The next 10 to 15 minutes are a loop. Brook spirals, rapid move, mood swings, selective confusion. Acting like you can't understand plain questions and repeating what the over and over again. It's exhausting to sit through. But it matters. So we're going to summarize that pattern. Pull the key moments and then jump ahead where the interview turns. Because after that, we go back into the crime Scene and start laying out the science.

[Police Officer]

Yeah, I would now know that sounds good. Sure. That can sound however it wants to, but I'm telling the truth.

[Brooks Cleary]

I never talked to any firefighter.

[Police Officer]

I never.

[Brooks Cleary]

She was fine. She was fine when I was. I went downstairs and she was fine.

[Police Officer]

I have to stop this.

[Brooks Cleary]

Shut up.

[Police Officer]

Shut up. You're actually.

[Brooks Cleary]

Shut up. I don't care what you think. I don't care what you think. I don't care what you think.

[Police Officer]

I don't care.

[Brooks Cleary]

Shut up.

[Police Officer]

Shut up. You don't care. Shut. Everything out of your mouth has not been shut up. It's been pretty much. Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

That's what you think.

[Police Officer]

They talk back. This is fact.

[Brooks Cleary]

This doesn't make any sense to me.

[Police Officer]

I agree.

[Brooks Cleary]

Take a fucking. Put me on a hologram test. I'm gonna fucking show you that I'm not lying. I don't know what the fuck this fat fuck's talking about, but I never did anything to hurt my fucking fiance. She just looks like. Are you fucking serious? You f me? Fuck you. I never would do anything to hurt her. She is my fucking. She did my everything. You for even doubting me, bro. Like, I seriously wish you would rock in a penitentiary for being a.

[Scott Roeder]

So as we come to a close on episode one, you've heard the story unfold in real time. From that first 911 call to the body camera at the door, to Brooks in the back of the cruiser, where all of the tones shift from casual to volatile. And it all lands on the same blunt line from the detective. Haley is deceased and we think you did it. That's a serious accusation. And in the moment, it may sound like reasonable suspicion, but this is where my world begins. Suspicion isn't proof. Episode two is where we put the emotion down and we pick up the evidence. I'm bringing my technical team to build a full 3D model of the scene. And we're going to map out the physical facts. Blood patterning, weapon position, bullet trajectory, reach, access to the gun, timing and movement, and the geometry of the apartment, frame by frame. The question isn't what we feel happened. The question is, what will the evidence allow? So if you want the answer that holds up under the light, stay with me, folks. Episode two, we rebuild the scene and let the science do the talking.

[Brooks Cleary]

I never would do anything to hurt her. She is my. She is my everything. You for even doubting me, bro. Like, I seriously wish you would rock in a penitentiary for being a.

[Scott Roeder]

This has been the evidence room. Death Investigation Episode 1 Haley Johnson. I'm Scott Roeder.

[Woody Overton]

All right y', all. So you heard the there now Scott, Scott brings receipts. Okay. He's got a long stored career and doing cases and the evidence room, you know, solving stuff and internationally known and all that. And, and the. He's legit. The. What you couldn't see on was the video. And this is all. Everything that we presented on real life, real crime, on however many episodes we did it on hashtag just for Haley. But what you couldn't see that is they already have some 3D models of the only way the blood spatter the. The only way she could have been shot. It was either she was standing up and. Or she was kneeling at a height where she would almost be standing up kneeling on the futon or whatever it was. But the. There's. If you go look on a social media, you'll see those videos. You'll see this go from, you know, being nonchalant and whatever and lying about what have you and whatnot to do. And when they tell her, hey look, she's deceased, quit dicking around. Tell us, tell us what happened. Right, but the, the whole time when, when I had the case and everything else, I'm thinking that they were saying that she was laying down on the couch and like she had pulled this long ass shotgun trigger. She's five foot, nothing with her. I figured, you know, they're saying she must have did it with her toe or something like this. But no, they've already proven that she had to be standing up because where her brain was blown out of the back of her head. And I hate to say it like that, but it's what it was. And one cop arrived on the scene and they have. I have no video saying my God, that's the most intact brain I've ever seen. Well, Scott explained that to me and, and that the way the brain got like that is because all the scientific he told me about right. And. But they. He's already said told me them I'm telling you right now she did not pull that trigger herself. And she was either standing or in that kneeling position. If you go watch these videos, you'll see it. But the. They're doing more testing. They're going to get a female that's Haley's exact dimensions and even see which I pretty much guarantee you can't even see if it's physically possible because the shotgun and the way her brain came out of the back of her head and the spatter on the wall, it wasn't like it was. She was leaning over it had to be a straight on.

[Narrator/Host]

You would have.

[Woody Overton]

She'd have to hold up this eight or nine pound shotgun directly even to her face, pull the trigger, right. Because the, the. Where the spatter is on the wall and you can see it's in the recreations, the. In all that. I don't. It can't happen. Didn't happen that way. And the only other motherfucker that was there was Brooks Cleary. And we know if you go back to listed episodes that he changed shirts and everything that he did and just so whack and. But anyway, they, they're getting the female

[Narrator/Host]

to do the testing all under scientific rules.

[Woody Overton]

All that, all that shit that they got to do to be able for it to stand up in court. And he's testifying court all over the world. But they're also going to do the jail test which is the. In the ballistics labs like Louisiana State Police, when they know how much gelatin these gel blocks to do. And they shoot the bullets, the rounds into it and they could tell you what kind of damage it's all the scientific shit that it'll be proven or it won't be proven, but these are all tests that still are yet to come, which only pile onto the tests that they've already done. And he hadn't told you that was their episode one. He hadn't told you anything about what's already been done. Right. And. But I can tell you this the ultimately, like he told me when I had him on the show, ultimately his goal is to have. Is to be. To work together with the Cobb County District Attorney's office. He wants to present the evidence to them and then have them go get

[Narrator/Host]

their best people to look at it. And there be no way, not only

[Woody Overton]

beyond a reasonable doubt, which is what you need for a murder conviction, beyond a shadow of all doubt by scientific certainty. No way Haley pulled the trigger on that shotgun herself and killed herself. And just all the rest of the shit, the body mannerisms like him taking off the ring as soon as they tell her that, that he's dead. All the, the, you know, selective memory and how many times a story changes and everything else. They're going to put it all together. But that's why we need that next what $2800 is to finish this. And look, the evidence room is basically doing this pro bono. That 10,000 is what it costs for them to do these tests. And Scott told me that he's like, well, I'm not making any money off of this. And he wants justice Good Christian dude. He wants to let me know what miss Barbara and I. But we talked about this. I said Ms. Barbara if they go in there and they prove it scientifically, it could happen that she does it. And Ms. Barbara's like okay, I'm good with that. I just want it proven one way or the other. And well it's hashtag just for Haley Brooks clear murderer. And the I know I wasn't there but from my years investigate experience and somebody wrote me a shitty thing on Facebook the other day. I said well I hope this episode talking about Madison's Is it 50 parts? Like what what happened to Haley? I quit listening to that. Well first of all, it wasn't 50 parts. That's implying that it's a year long. But the and I responded. I very seldom respond to a negative anything. I just said, you know what? Turn it off. The Haley's life story needed to be told. Haley's what happened needed to be told in its entirety. This is not a 45 minute television show. Right, but please donate it's GoFundMe just for Haley. It's on all our social media. Ms. Barbara Johnson is in charge of the money. She said it it up the the goes directly into account and she forwards it daily probably to Scott Roeder in the evidence room. So shout out to Mr. Scott and his professionals and evidence room for continuing to fight for hashtag just for Haley lifers worth the point. We have all the evidence we need and it's been investigated and reinvestigated except from the scientific angle. And now it is and we need another $2,000 to bring it home. Okay, so this y' all miss Barbara's the sweetest lady. I mean she's like a sister slash mom to me and just, just never gives up, you know, never quits fighting. And Now I got Ms. Lynn, right? In Madison's case, what happened Hashtag what happened to Madison. These real people, man. You know Bradley Strafes case, also the band case. They have family members who actually give a shit. Yeah, the people love them all these everybody that's been murdered and everybody seeking justice. These aren't just TV shows people. This is real shit.
