Right, right. And she keeps getting more and more and more and more information, and we pushed out, and it's. What you are feeding back to me is very, very valid. Okay? So that being said, scandals of True crime time for this Tuesday. Cindy, what do you have? You know it's gonna be like 48 degrees tomorrow night.

[C]

I know.

[B]

That's amazing.

[C]

It is amazing. Okay, you ready? We've got a cold case.

[B]

I love a cold case. Not just the beer.

[C]

We're gonna be.

[B]

Hopefully they sold it.

[C]

We're going to Lynnbrook, New York.

[B]

All right.

[C]

Which apparently is a very quiet suburban town. And around 40 years ago, they mourned the loss of a 16 year old named Teresa Fusco. In November of 1984, she was leaving her job at Hot Skates, which was the local roller rink.

[B]

Boy, I remember those days.

[C]

Right, right.

[B]

You know it. I'm funny. Whatever. I'm good at whatever. I'm good at my true passion. Remember that stupid ass show, y'?

[D]

All?

[B]

I can't even remember the name of it. Whole documentary was about a dude playing a video game, one of the old arcade games and trying to beat the levels. And the game kept freezing up when he was trying to set the world record. And the game freeze those stupid mindless television. But at the very end he said space Invaders. I'm saying this might have been Asteroids. Whatever. Space Invaders good at. Da da da da. Love it. But my real passion, roller skating. And they show this 30 some 5 year old man in the roller ring, which we used to go to as kids, and he's doing all these slide moves and disco. That was like, I can't believe it. We just waste two hours or life watching.

[C]

Oh my gosh. But it's many years of entertainment off of that.

[B]

Yes, We've laughed about it every. That's probably for 15 years. We laughed about that.

[C]

Literally. Well, so she was leaving her job at Hot Skates and she vanished on her short walk home. Weeks later, her body was found in a wooded area near Greece park, which was over a mile away. She had been raped, strangled, and the brutality of the crime just really scared Long Island. You hear about these cases and everybody gets scary scared. At that time, investigators believed that they had their suspects. There was three local men who were ultimately convicted. But years later, DNA evidence exonerated all three of them, which left Teresa's family devastated. And the case was wide open again. So let's Fast forward to 2024. Detectives with the Nassau County Police Cold Case Unit revisited the evidence. And now, working with forensic genealogy specialists, they use the DNA technology to trace the original sample from the crime scene to possibly possible family lines. The results pinpointed towards a man named Robert Billido. And he was a man that in 1984 had been living with his grandparents just a mile from the roller rink where Teresa worked. Billido is now 63 years old and he has no convictions, no record. No, he'd been a good boy, smart criminal. He had been a good boy and lived a quiet life.

[B]

That's not his only victim.

[C]

Right. Investigators began discreetly monitoring him after multiple leads linked his family DNA to the evidence. In February of 2024, they collected a discarded cup and straw from a smoothie Cafe where Bilodeau had been seen. And when the lab processed it, the results were undeniable. The direct DNA. It was a direct DNA match to Teresa. Detectives confronted Bilodeau months later, and when they told him why they were there, he said, people got away with murder back then.

[B]

Yep. It's like David Anthony Burns. When they finally picked him up, he said, I've been waiting on this day a long time.

[A]

Yep.

[C]

And the statement, paired with the forensic evidence led to his arrest. So on October 15th of this year, Nassau County District Attorney Ann Donnelly announced that Billido had been indicted for second degree murder and first degree murder during the commission of a rape.

[B]

Oh, Lord.

[C]

During the press conference, Connally said, the past has not been forgotten. This case proves that no matter how much time passes, we will never stop fighting for victims. Bilodeau has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail. And. And if convicted, he faces 25 years to life in prison. So.

[B]

So this is what I got to say. Shout out to those cold case detectives. Shout out to any department that has enough resources to have a cold case unit. Shout out to everyone who ever cracks. Well, not a. Should I say cracks cold case. To anyone who ever even reviews a cold case file, whether you solve it or not, at least you're trying to do it right. And just like this guy got away with all those years, the. Look, a lot of people do get away with it. There's no doubt about that. You know, 100,000 plus in the US alone, and less than 1% ever gets solved. But some do get sold. And that's why we keep fighting for them, y'. All. I mean, y' all keep calling your tips. And the love, love, love. Special kind of asshole and smart criminal. He got away with it, right? People got away with murder back then.

[C]

And at least the three that were wrongfully charged.

[B]

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Can you imagine that? We all. Look, I'm the biggest advocate of that. The. You know, if you're wrongfully convicted, let them go and pay them money. Yeah, yeah. Especially if it's because something that was shady done by law enforcement like that. So that's crazy. And if you're in Burning Parish and you want Woody Overton to shut the up about Bradley Stracer and Austin o', Banion, then solve a cold case, which you're saying it's not a cold case, but I have a. It's time for effort up professionals. Going to New Jersey for effed up professional. You know, it's a. As we get older and you daddy dying last year and your daddy dying before that. Both. Fortunately, both of them are old, able to die at their own homes. Right. And. But we went to the high school reunion last weekend and. And stuff like that. And like, the lady who is like, my second mom's now in a home and like, man, Susan, a home and. And whatever. A lot of families can't afford to keep them at home.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And so when you. I work too many cases in these nursing homes, but when you put somebody in a nursing home, what do you.

[C]

Expect them to obviously take care of.

[B]

Take care of them and love them like you do. Right. And. And I understand it's form, but you. We're going in. I've arrested people in nursing homes from everything from the janitor to nurses to whatever, but I've never arrested a director.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

All right, so we're going to New Jersey. And the New Jersey Attorney General's office announced that Patricia Linda Ahono was indicted by a state grand jury on July 23rd on charges of second and third degree aggravated assault, third degree neglect of an elderly or disabled adult, third degree tampering with witnesses, fourth degree assault on an institutionalized elderly person, and fourth degree falsifying reports. Now, let me tell you what this did. So the. On June 24, 2023, they had an incident that occurred between the. The super. The fucking head honcho of the top, Muhulu, whatever you want to call him, Linda hano, and she's 59 years old. In the. The incident occurred between Ahano and a resident at the Crystal Lake Rehabilitation and Healthcare center, which is in. Located in Bayville, New Jersey. Now, they said a nurse recorded a video of a physical. Physical altercation which investigators said took place in a hallway on the fifth floor of the facility. So this is a big fucking place, right? In the video, Linda Ahono hit the victim with a broom. A broom. The hit injured the victim and left their hand dripping with blood. And in the video, Ahono can be heard saying, call whatever staff member's name y'. All. And then there's inaudible. And it says, before I kill this man. And this. This is the motherfucking director that is saying this. So now after this dude's bleeding, she goes in the oh, shit moment. And it's like, better cover my ass. So she completes an incident report as per their policy and procedure. And she claimed that the incident took place on Jun 20, 2023 at 12:30pm well, we already know that's a fucking lie because it occurred on June 24th. So she's now back dating her shit to try to cover herself. And authorities also said she claimed that the victim tried to scratch her with the head of a blue disposable razor. And then Ohana went on to ledge that she used the broom to swat the object away from her. Well, guess what? They got that video. The New Jersey Attorney General's office got the video and said the victim was definitely not seen holding a razor or any weapon. And meanwhile, staff members that witnessed altercation said they never saw a weapon in the man's hand. Well, I'm pretty sure they should have reported it, but I get they need their job. But the incident report that she falsely did and which Linda Ahono claimed that police and emergency services were called to the scene and the victim was transported by ambulance to the hospital. Well, no, she be a l. The current and former staff members say that the director told them not to call the police or the ambulance. Then she's lying because the current and some former staff members said that a Hono told them specifically, do not call the police.

[C]

That's horrible.

[B]

I mean, it's fucked up. That's what it is. And so the Berkeley Township Police Department and the Attorney General's office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit began investigating the matter when the video was released to the public. And police officers first visited the nursing home on December 21, 2024 to just talk to the on duty supervisor about the incident. And during the police visit, officials. This is how stupid this motherfucker is. During that visit on December 21, 2024, the. The police overheard Linda Ahono telling an on duty supervisor. You don't remember anything. Right? I mean, you stupid. The. The. I have no time for it, y'. All. It's like. It's like attacking an innocent baby. So they said residents of adult care facilities need to be treated with respect and. And dignity and be safe. It's. According New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Plin in Physically assaulting a resident is inexcusable. And we will not stand by and allow such conduct to go undetected and unprosecuted. Unless. Linda Hono, you're the for the day.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

I mean, they're all assholes that kill people and everything, but you had a D. You're like the head enchilada.

[C]

Yeah, but she probably. That's not the first time.

[B]

Oh, no. The. She came up through the ring. She don't get made ahead enchilada without working there forever. Yeah, but you go hit a. With a broom and say, get this out of my face before I kill him.

[C]

Yeah. You don't start.

[B]

And then. Then you backdate your report.

[C]

Right.

[B]

And they thank God that woman took a video. A nurse took the video. She's like, you know what? This isn't right.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm gonna go ahead thesis out there and let them do what they do. Yeah. And it wasn't right.

[A]

No.

[C]

Gosh.

[B]

Foundation of everything from digestion and weight management to energy focus, even longevity. But here's the problem. As we age, the beneficial bacteria in our gut starts to deplete. That's when we start feeling run down, bloated, or just not ourselves. That's why I want to tell you about Biomast. Gut supplements only give you probiotics. Maybe a little prebiotic if you're lucky. But Bioma contains all three essential ingredients. Your gut needs prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. Everything working together to balance your gut microbiome and support real lasting vitality. And these ingredients aren't fluff. They're science backed and third party tested.

[B]

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

[C]

Going to southern Poland.

[B]

Poland.

[C]

In southern Poland, neighbors thought they heard some strange noises from a apartment that is normally really quiet. But last summer, in July, something unusual made one of the neighbors pick up the phone and call the police.

[B]

Good for them.

[C]

It started with muffled noises coming from the flat of an older couple who had lived there for decades. And the sounds were just odd. They weren't violent. It was just odd. And something about the sounds didn't feel right.

[B]

So the. The neighbors called the police. Hear odd sounds, y' all do it. Call the police. That's what they're there for.

[C]

So when officers arrived and knocked, the couple answered, insisting everything was fine. But something about it the cops didn't believe. There were still sounds inside that didn't match the story. So they entered the apartment.

[B]

So they're like, I'm pretty sure you're full of shit. But I guess the sounds must have been the sounds of a struggle or something.

[C]

And so what they found in a small, dimly lit room was a 42 year old woman named Mirella. And she was frail, trembling and emaciated to the point of near collapse. She was alive, but barely alive. Officers immediately called for medical help, and paramedics arrived to find Mirella suffering from severe infections, open wounds on her legs, and extreme malnutrition. Doctors later said that she was merely days away from death.

[B]

That's sweet.

[C]

Well, what was even more surprising was neighbors had believed that Mirella had been missing for 27 years, ever since 1998, when her parents told everyone she'd run away. Or they also said that she went to live with her biological family.

[B]

I mean, why wouldn't you just kill the motherfucker instead of the motherfucker about the victim? You let him. You hiding them away in a dim, lit room, letting them starve to death. You don't even care Enough to take time to put a knife in her chest or something. I mean, what the fuck?

[C]

Police believe that Mirella had been living under strict control by her parents and rarely if ever allowed to leave. I mean, if no one had seen her. But anyway, she appeared to have no access to basic hygiene, clothing or medical care. And the apartment itself was described as dark, cluttered and filled with odor of neglect. Who. Her parents, who are now elderly, are being. I mean, obviously are being investigated for possible abuse and unlawful imprisonment. Though no charges have been filed yet, prosecutors are still piecing together what really happened. And whether she withheld against her will or isolated through coercion or psychological control.

[B]

Sure is a combination of. All right, I mean, and the. You mentally whip them into whatever and you're not feeding them, you're starving them. Then they get too weak to do anything about it.

[C]

Right. So she was. Mirella was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors began the long process of stabilizing her condition. And they, of course, feel like her recovery will take months, both physically and years mentally. And local residents have organized fundraisers to support her care, to help, you know, begin her new Life. So for 27 years, people thought she was just gone. And she was there.

[B]

How many years?

[C]

27.

[B]

27 years?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Of dying and abuse and whatever. Right. 27 years of evil. I don't get it.

[C]

I think I read another part of the story. Said she didn't even remember her name.

[B]

I'm sure you had 27 years and being locked up, you think evil doesn't exist. We tell these stories every day. People getting murdered in cases like this. And it's just stories. These are real people.

[C]

Yeah. And.

[B]

And I've been in apartments that have that gag odor. And these nasty are living in and starving people and killing people and. And yeah, evil sucks. What's one of my favorite fast foods to eat? If I had to eat one free gas, you know, I mean, better everybody in the world. What's one of my favorite fast foods?

[C]

Taco Bell.

[B]

Absolutely. And the nastiest shit you can get. Right then it goes way back to my USL days when they. The bean burritos were 39 cents and the tacos were 39 cents and we were poor and that may be all we had to eat. And I'd always grab a handful of taco sauce packages. Right?

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Everybody loves to go to Taco Bell. I think swim. Someone who is me actually passed out of the Taco Bell drive through life when I have to club. They had to wake him up. Meaning swim was driving the vehicle. Anyhow, how long? The lines are 2 o' clock in the morning, right? So everybody goes there. Or Waffle House. We're going to West Palm Beach, Florida, and New Year's eve back in 2018 at a taco Bell. And specifically the Taco Bell in Palm Beach Gardens. You wouldn't want to be at this Taco Bell, okay, Because a woman got killed. Now, after all these years, a judge has sentenced a suburban West Palm beach man to eight years in prison for the New Year's Eve 2018 robbery at that Taco Bell which led to this lady's death.

[E]

8.

[B]

I mean, anyway, the pisses me off to how long this takes, but during a hearing on October 14th at the Palm Beach County Courthouse in Patrick Preston pled guilty to charges of manslaughter. You hear? Neighborhood bird, y', all, we're way in the country. Pled guilty to charges of manslaughter and robbery in the death of Jacqueline Buford, who's 55 years old. So, y', all. During a hearing in October 14th at the Palm Beach County Courthouse, Ian Patrick Preston pled guilty to charges of manslaughter and robbery and the death of Jacqueline Buford, 55 years old. And Circuit Judge James Nuttle. Or that Preston's eight year sentences on each count be served concurrently. Okay, presto. Who's 38, may only have to serve a little more than three years of his sentence in prison because the judge gave him credit for his 1799 days. Or that equals to all you who have inquired minds, that equals four years and 11 months of time he spent in custody waiting this trial. Now, when the fuck ever happened to write for a speedy trial? 4 years and 11 months before your trial date comes up. It's fucking stupid. And anyway, when he gets out, he will have two years of probation to follow those sentences. So what happened? Investigators said the New Year's Eve attack occurred shortly after 10pm when Buford, who lived in the acreage, took out her wallet to pay for a food order at the Taco Bell on North Lake Boulevard, just east of Interstate 95.

[E]

Then.

[B]

Our hero, or zero Preston suddenly snatched her wallet, then ran outside to a vehicle. Well, Buford followed Preston and called up to him. Now remember, she's in her 50s. As he was trying to back the vehicle out of a parking space. As Buford grabbed Preston's arm, he turned and drove off, which caused Buford to fall to the pavement and she hit her face. By the time the cops got there, they found Buford on the ground and bystanders were trying to help her get up. She was disoriented and unable to provide many details about what happened. And a witness described the robbery and what happened afterwards. Bierfoot's wallet contained about $200 in cash, along with personal documents. Doctors at the Palm Beach Gardens Medical center treated her for multiple abrasions and scrapes. But guess what? She died on July 30, 2019. So that's seven months after the attack from metal complications that resulted from her injuries from that idiot stealing her money. Yeah, on New Year's Eve.

[C]

That's horrible.

[B]

And I talk about how much. How much money. It's not like you in a five star Michelin restaurant and you go rolling in with $10,000 to pay for your meal. It's a Taco Bell. Yeah, right. So a grand jury indicted Preston on first degree murder charge in December 2020, which was still two years after attack. And court records show Preston was placed in the drug treatment program during his time in custody. Well, good for that, crackhead. And Preston initially denied being at the restaurant. Then he changed the story, and he told the investigators he went there to charge his cell phone and use the restaurant's wi fi. Okay. Investigators said he later admitted to taking the wallet, saying he did so on an impulse. Whatever. He told officers, I was in a bad place due to my druggies. She's dead as. Because of the drug use. And, you know, I don't know. Look at this winner. The. The. So much bad on that.

[C]

I mean, so many people are using drug use as their, like, reason.

[E]

That's it.

[C]

Their excuse.

[B]

Drug use or insanity.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Or. I was abused as a kid, so I did this.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, I was thinking about this morning before we did the show. The. The excuses that people give and then automatically, you know, when you hear insanity plea, you like, I was reading the story, and I didn't read this one. This guy stabbed this little girl like 72 times and including her eyes.

[C]

And.

[B]

And the. He went up for trial, and they found him not guilty by reason of insanity for the murder. But then they charged. They found him guilty on these other charges, like breaking in and entering, all this. But listen, then he gets the. Out of jail on and he goes to Florida. Moves to Florida. And now they're all pissed off in Florida. He's a sex offender. He ra. Raped a kid, too. And he did all kinds of special nasty shit. And he got. He goes to Florida, and they're mad because he's out. Well, you know what? I'd Be mad too.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

How do you find someone guilty on the lesser charges? Which, I mean, you have to be saying to be convicted of a lesser charges. Much of the high charge.

[C]

Exactly.

[B]

But his defense was I'm crazy.

[C]

So we're gonna just let crazy roam the streets?

[B]

Crazy does exactly what he is like. You have all these defenses that you and I tell the stories about and the people are like, oh, he's had ptsd. Or they, you know, they're, they were insane. And I mean, you know, when you hear that defense, it usually means the bad guy's fucked up, you know.

[E]

There was a stretch where I just couldn't figure out why I felt so drained all the time. No matter how much I slept, I was exhausted, foggy, and even little things like keeping my focus felt harder than they should. I brushed it off thinking it was just stress or being busy. But it turned out my iron levels.

[B]

Were way lower than I realized.

[E]

That's why I was excited to learn about Sideroll. It's not your typical iron supplement. It's powered by something called sucrosomil technology which helps your body actually absorb three to four times more iron while avoiding the common issues you hear about with.

[B]

Traditional iron, like nausea or stomach upset.

[E]

It's backed by over 150 clinical studies and trusted worldwide. Sideroll is actually Italy's number one supplement brand and is now available here in the U.S. i love that it's just one capsule a day with vitamin C.

[B]

Included, so it easily fits into my routine.

[E]

Plus it's vegan, gluten free and allergen free, so it works to just about anyone ever feel like no matter how much you rest, you're still running on empty.

[B]

You're not alone.

[E]

Over 2 million people worldwide have already discovered Ctirol and it could be the.

[B]

Yeah, right, because they got nothing else. Yeah, and like all we're gonna do is try to pull a heartstring on one of these jury members, which is the case I'm just talking about. Evidently it worked because we got nothing else. Because my client is a piece of shit who doesn't deserve to breathe. So we're gonna roll this out there, see if we can't get one of your mama heartstrings. To pull or daddy heartstrings, whatever, to pull. And it does it. And then this, this he. I mean, how much of a cheapskate do you have to be to go to. Even back in my cheap days when I stole extra packets of hot sauce or whatever from Taco Bell, we didn't have WI fi, naturally. I mean, I didn't go in there to hang out and use their WI fi. No, no, you didn't go get your own WI fi.

[D]

Yes.

[C]

But I will have to say that when we were at Ruth Lee and Internet was horrible, WL and I before we had the office in Clinton, WL and I would go sit at the McDonald's because they had wifi. Like I could get some work done there. So, I mean, I don't know, I'm just saying, like some people do do it like out of necessity. But I don't think he did. But at 3 o' clock in the morning, whatever.

[B]

We were running a business, trying to upload. Episod. We're paying fourteen hundred dollars a month for WI Fi. That didn't work. This had nothing better to do than be high inside a Taco Bell and rob this lady for less than 200 and. And she is dead because of it. Him.

[C]

True.

[B]

Well, what do you got? It's time for worldwide crime 5. It's time for Family Matters.

[C]

We're going to Australia, down under.

[B]

One.

[C]

Of our leading countries with 36 year old Rita Kotri. And she was originally from India. She's been sentenced to four years and eight months in prison after nearly costing her young son his life. This is a very crazy story. On the evening of June 26, 2024, Khatri picked up her seven year old from school, stopped to buy kerosene, and later that night told him she wanted to play a game.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

But the game was not a game I've ever heard of. She undressed both of them, poured kerosene all over their bodies, and then set fire to a floor mat in their kitchen.

[B]

His name again. Stop, drop and roll.

[C]

I know. The little boy started screaming and he said, mommy, stop. I don't want to die. And he managed to break free from her grip. He grabbed her phone and began to try to call for help while he's on fire. He hadn't gotten on fire yet. Okay, so the call. So he called for help before running from the burning home to flag down a passing car. And fire crews arrived quickly. They extinguished the flames before they spread. And miraculously, the child survived. Investigators learned that Khatri had been under immense personal stress. Her second marriage had fallen apart. Her visa, because she's originally from India had been revoked. And so then she had no income and no family support.

[B]

In Australia, millions of people are in worse financial and shitty family situations. They don't light their kids on fire.

[C]

Exactly. And that's exactly basically what the court said to her. So she's been sentenced. And she was sentenced by Justice James Gorton. And he called her actions an unfathomable breach of trust, saying that although she was clearly struggling, she had yet to accept full responsibility for what she did. Khatri pleaded guilty to recklessly endangering life and attempting to pervert the course of justice because she tried to convince a caretaker to tell police that the fire was an accident. So she will now serve her full sentence without parole. And upon release. I don't have how long the sentence was. She will be deported back to India and her son has been placed in the care of his father who lives in Abu Dhabi.

[B]

So is Abu Dhabi in that the rich place? No, that's not Dubai. What the fuck?

[C]

Yep.

[B]

I mean you can afford kerosene or whatever to set your kids on fire. Ah, you know, I don't know, just. I don't get it.

[C]

I don't get it either. That's really just sickening.

[B]

Well, let me add one more little love tap on this Tuesday, Foreign Family Matters. Now, I come from a large family and lots of brothers and sisters and of course we would, we would fight. Yeah. What brothers and sisters do. You were a lot older than yours, I think. But then I'm sure y' all still fought sometimes. Did you invite like these folks here in West Virginia?

[C]

Okay.

[B]

All right. I don't even know what button I hit. I hope I hit Family Matters. These. Look at their pictures before we get started. And then I just let you guess what we're gonna do. So a 46 year old man and a 44 year old woman were arrested in West Virginia after authorities say they left their three young children home alone and unsupervised in an apartment filled with dangerous items. And they left them there for more than 12 hours. Okay, well you might think that's really not so bad. It's not like leaving a six month old on the beach. Whatever you. Who knows if they could call 911 or whatever. Well, you know what? These kids got into it. They can't see you. They can't see my face expression. So he's making an expression job. So this is stupid. I mean anyway, they. The kids Got into a knife fight.

[C]

What?

[B]

Yes, with each other. And were exposed to some kind of dangerous chemical spray. Listen to this. You can't make this up. So Kenneth Neal Conley and Tamara Ann Conley were taken into custody last week in charge of one count each of gross neglect of a child, creating a substantial risk of serious bodily injury or death. Now, y', all, that's a felony. The investigation into the couple began on October 1, when officers with the Sophia Police department. Oh, by the way, Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Sophia Happy birthday to you and many more. That was yesterday. Yesterday. Damn. I'm always missing. She knows that. So anyway, Sophia Police department. Sophia, they have our second oldest daughter. They have a police department named after you. And anyway, the officers responded to request for.

[C]

Say it back up.

[B]

Welfare check. Oh, God damn it. You always say welfare check. On the couple's home in Sofia, which is about 60 miles southeast of Charleston, West Virginia. Now they get there and they find three young children, 8, 10 and 10, who have been left unsupervised in the apartment for more than 12 hours. While alone in the apartment, the three young children reportedly engage in a fight involving NAS. And they also fought because the knives weren't enough, using chemical spray freeze +P, I guess, and were reported to be in possession of a firearm.

[E]

Right.

[B]

So inside the home, the cops also recovered drug paraphernalia and residue that tested positive for guess what? Methamphetamine. Meth is bad. Both the residue and the, I guess the glass dig there were in reach within reach of the juveniles. It's not like they might have been on it. They said this neglect created substantial risk of death of seriously bodily injury and exposed the children to control substances. And this is on the complaint. And police on October 2 attained a warrant for the parents arrest and they swung both of those assholes into jail a week later on October 8th. And they were processed and are currently being held in the southern region of jail. So the. Their bond is $10,000, which for them it sounds like minus will be $100 million.

[C]

Right.

[B]

But you know, that's the worst my brother, the. When we were young like that, the I would like. I mean, he's older than me and. And the I would do something like really pissed him off and whatever. He would chase me. My mama locked us out of the house during the daytime and she might have gone to store or something, I don't remember. But he's chased when I wanted to beat my ass. I'd like we're running Full speed. I'd let him catch up to him, right? When he catched up to me, I'd drop and make him trip over me, like get out, run in other direction. My mama tells a story about when they were. I think it was her grandparents or something. The parents, I mean we're talking about like 1900. The they. Her uncle, great whoever the it was. I can't go. She's going to kill me for messing the story up. I don't think you ever heard it. They. He was left in charge of his. His two sisters, right? But he was a young kid, like 12 or whatever. They didn't have any Internet or TV, any of that shit. But one thing they did have was some coffee. And he wasn't supposed to have any, but he was the boss hog of the residence. And when his mom and daddy left, he made his sisters every day go get him some coffee. Well, one day sister had enough and the hour long it went by and he made them go get them some coffee. And instead of using real milk, that pup, the dog just had puppies and a wind squirted titty milk from the dog and his coffee.

[C]

Oh my God.

[B]

And obviously he knew it was. It was off. And that was like a family lore to this day.

[C]

Larry. Yes. Yeah, that's funny.

[B]

But hey, they could took out.

[E]

They could have took out.

[B]

I have no idea. That's nasty. Yeah, I'd rather eat human flesh and drink dog milk.

[C]

Yeah, that's kind of.

[B]

Anyway, funny.

[C]

I never have heard that story.

[B]

She could tell you. She'll tell you. I'm sure I effed it all up. But she's, she's the original storyteller.

[C]

She definitely is that.

[B]

So I'll call her and see if she'll answer. And I'm not gonna tell her we're recording her. She's going mad as watch. I'll see if she answers. Hopefully she won't answer y'. All. I got in trouble the other day for posting something to our family group on Facebook. I took a video and she didn't know it. She was telling a story. She got mad. Donate Mama. Hey, mama, can you tell me this, the story real quick about your uncle, whoever it was that was keeping the kids at home, and they gave them the coffee with the dog milk in it.

[D]

That's mama. That's my grandmother.

[B]

All right, tell me what happened.

[D]

Okay. Mama said, you know, that was back in the days of one room schoolhouses, novel classes within same grade. And it was one teacher and they, you know, they were few and far apart. So the cousins would come stay with them to go to school. And he was bigger than Mama, and he wasn't supposed to have coffee. And every time her parents would be gone from the house, he'd say, effigy some coffee. And she didn't have any choice because he's bigger than her, right? So she made the coffee this day, and she brought it to him, and he said, oh, Effie, this is really good cream. Where did you get this cream? And there was a dog that had puppies, and she said, I milked old so and so. And then she ran and she hid under the house because he was too big to get up, get under the house. And he couldn't tell on it because he wasn't supposed to have coffee.

[B]

There you go. And I just told that story, and I knew I messed it up. So straight out of the mouth of babe.

[C]

So he actually liked. Liked the cream.

[B]

Say he liked the cream. Need to start having puppies and selling a doggy cream. Yeah. All right. Love you, mama. Bye. Bye. Bye. She'll be so bad. But I did mess the story out. I knew it was a good story. She's gonna be so mad that when. When, you know, I'm sure somebody in the family would tell her, but she was on real life, Real crime, True crime Time four. And I got nothing else.

[C]

Me either.

[B]

And we will. I'm Woody Overton.

[C]

I'm Cindy Overton.

[B]

And we will holler at y' all later. Peace. Foreign.
