If you call and you don't leave a voicemail, I'm not calling your number back. All right? I assure you can remain anonymous. I've talked to probably a hundred people thus far and they all aren't.

All right?
Cindy Overton
That's right. Or tips. Real life, real crime dot com.
Woody Overton
That's right. And, and hash just for everybody. How about that?
Cindy Overton
Yes.
Woody Overton
So that being said, I'm going to start today and we're going to Seattle, Washington. It's pretty cool. Pretty cool city. It's really beautiful, very green. I like the Puget Sound and, and all that stuff and of course the fish market and what you. And you can see all the mountains if you will in the distance. Just. It's a beautiful place. And the crime of the day is going to be what? For the story. It was a woman.
Cindy Overton
A woman? I have no idea.
Woody Overton
Bank robbery. All right.
Cindy Overton
Okay.
Woody Overton
And like the last show, I said prisons full of dummies. This one's not so dumb, right? It's hard to catch a smart one. So they said the. In our modern era of advanced technology and sophisticated security systems, one might think that robbing a bank successfully, let alone multiple banks, would be virtually impossible. Not so, because one Seattle woman managed to evade law enforcement while committing eight bank robberies during a year long crime speed spree.
Cindy Overton
Wow.
Woody Overton
Before the cops finally called her.
Cindy Overton
Well, they did catch her. So.
Woody Overton
Well, she took immense personal satisfaction from her ability to rob banks and outsmart law enforcement. That's according to senior deputy Prosecuting attorney Brian Johnson Said the fact that she was a focus of a significant law enforcement investigation appears to been a source of great pride for her. She's getting off on it. Said while she's only been charged with robbing eight banks so far, Lena Chang actually robbed or tried to rob a total of nine Banks before she was finally caught by the cops. This is she. She's facing serious charges. And victims of the banks she robbed may be left wondering if their money is safe when a robbery occurs. Well, let what Chain did and what you need to know about your money. I think everybody knows this, but if. Anyway, I'm going tell you, tell you about it. So according to Kir7 Chang's bank robbery methods were fairly elaborate. She wore multiple disguises and handed teller's notes that said things such as, I have a gun. Give all. Give me all the money from your register except bait money. No tracking device, no silent alarm. Keep it discreet. This all the different. It wasn't the same day. Right. So Chang reportedly displayed an airsoft pistol to some of the bank tellers, which appeared to be real firearm. And following her arrest, police searched her apartment and discovered the weapon was merely a replica. Now, according to the cops, while Chain became more brazen in 2025 by hitting up different banks and she became. She began to conceal her identity less and less.
Cindy Overton
Yeah, she got cocky, right?
Woody Overton
So she. But she still maintained her core approach. She continued to calmly present her demand notes to tellers with the same methodical demeanor. They said she was also good at making sure she didn't get traceable funds. The police said that the last two times she robbed a bank, she examined the money to look for things that could be traced. And she was able to find a currency tracking device that she gave back to the tailor. That's pretty smart. I would do that. Chain typically netted between 385 to $4180 from each robbery. Now, I told y' all that the. I don't know, I think I told you this. The average bank robbery, and that's like 3, 500. You didn't think you get more money.
Cindy Overton
Yeah, but you all, you. You've explained that several times too. But like the biggest, the big bank robbery in Springfield, it was only because the plan was workers.
Woody Overton
It was Albany.
Cindy Overton
Albany, yeah.
Woody Overton
And they got, you know, like 400,000. But the. Anyway, the. She took pride in her robberies. And during a search of her residence, authorities discovered several incriminating items, including a painting featuring FBI wanted posters with her image. The written demands should present to the bank tellers in various disguises she had worn during the robberies. Now, this makes her a dumbass. Yeah, right. Because I'm pretty sure. I mean, first of all, if I robbed a bank and only got 385 bucks, I would never offer that one.
Cindy Overton
Right?
Woody Overton
385 you can go to make dollars, you can't, definitely can't go to Walmart 385. So I, I mean. And then you're going to keep all this? Yeah. Okay. Well, the police were ultimately able to catch her because a tipster told them that Chang was robbing banks. And the person who called law enforcement gave police Chang's address and said that Chang steered clear of phones due to the fact that they were traceable and called herself a serial bank robber. She's just a dumb. The, she got away with it eight times and she kept everything. Now she's telling other people I'm a serial bank robber. Yeah, right. I don't use phones and da, da, da. So basically the police were handed this case on a platter.
Cindy Overton
Literally.
Woody Overton
Same thing. I'm going to do hashtag just for Bradley, hashtag just freo. In the end, I'm going to hand it to them on the platter. Police that are actually going to work.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
So anyway, she called herself a serial bank robber who enjoyed reliving the thrill by listening to police reports. Now once the cops got the information from the tipster, they began some surveillance on Ms. Chain and found her movements matched with robberies that were occurring. Okay. Following her capture, she faces an coming trial with authority seeking half million dollars in bond and electronic monitoring for home detention. And, but the cops say, I mean they're concerned she presents both a flight risk and a potential danger to the public. That's kind of obvious.
Cindy Overton
Right.
Woody Overton
So, so here's your public service announcement, people. What happens if your bank is robbed? Well, bank robberies happen way more than you think.
Cindy Overton
Right.
Woody Overton
Okay. The FBI reports 1, 362 bank robberies in just 2023.
Cindy Overton
It's like three a day.
Woody Overton
Exactly. This includes 753 cases where the perpetrator used a demand name. 230 cases where a firearm was used. 25 cases were another kind of weapon machines. In 539 cases where the perpetrator threatened to use a weapon. Yeah, right. It's a big difference in the amount of time you get. If you have a weapon, you don't.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
According to another FBI report from 2019, banks suffered the highest monetary losses from robberies among all institutions with an average loss of 4,213 per incent. So it went up some months since my days. 3, 500. But they're talking about anything from a Walmart to a gas station to whatever. So you know, might ask, you know, what happens when they get robbed? Who, who, who suffers the Loss. Really?
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
And fortunately it's not you. Right. Or it's not the consumers in that have the money in the banks. That's because you know, the fdic, I think everybody knows about, it's on every counter and every bank. But while FDIC insurance doesn't cover you, even though you may think it does, the FDIC explains that banks will bear the cost of the losses in a robbery and not individuals with accounts at the bank.
Cindy Overton
Right.
Woody Overton
Everybody thinks that you can only put up. Well, actually I know people that have up to 300,000, 200 or 300,000, whatever it is, up to that limit and then you just open another account. Right. And you think that, that you're insured, but you're not. I'm explaining. So the FDIC insurance doesn't cover you and the banks bear the cost of the loss and the robbery. The FDIC also says that many financial institutions have a banker's blanket bond or multiple purpose insurance policy that protects them against loss. And while you won't lose money though, it's possible that your bank could be temporarily closed for a short period of time in the robbery's aftermath, as the situation is investigated. Normal business operations typically resume quickly after a bank robbery. So you should be concerned about any permanent effects on your finances if your financial institution becomes a target. Banking systems are designed to continue to function with mental disruptions in such situations, like literally go to the next branch. I mean, how many banks have only one branch now?
Cindy Overton
Exactly.
Woody Overton
Or go to an atm.
Cindy Overton
Yeah, exactly.
Woody Overton
And pay a dollar fifty.
Cindy Overton
Exactly.
Woody Overton
Sure. You bank reimburse you. So that's pretty crazy on the numbers and the fdic, I think. Yeah. You know what, I need to ask that. What does the FDIC insure?
Cindy Overton
Here's an answer from Ceruvid and company.
Woody Overton
Scorpion mission is to maintain stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system by insuring deposits, examining supervising banks and managing receiverships of failed banks. Essentially, if a bank fails, the FDIC steps in, presides. So, okay, so if the bank fails, then the government will give you up to your 200. 300,000. Let me see. I think they raised it. What is the amount the FDIC insures up to? 250,000.
Cindy Overton
Yes.
Woody Overton
Yeah, so it used to be 200, I think.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
So there you have it.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
Public service announcements, bank robbers, all kinds, dumb criminals.
Cindy Overton
Isn't part of Bradley's case with counterfeit money?
Woody Overton
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
How much counterfeit money do you think is actually circulating? That we just don't know.
Woody Overton
A lot. Yeah, it's enough to think about this. Every Walmart or convenience store or whatever you go to, they check it with a pin.
Cindy Overton
I used to have to when I worked in retail many years ago. And we had to change like the pins because then that's to tell you.
Woody Overton
There'S a ton of. If everybody has pins is for a reason. No, I get that much counterfeit money out there.
Cindy Overton
We would find some being on the border. I wasn't sure at that time if it was a precautionary thing because we were so close to there.
Woody Overton
Yeah, but how many times in the state of Louisiana have you gone somewhere and give them $100 bill and they checked it or even a 20?
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
Everywhere I go, every time I whip out a hundo, they checking it.
Cindy Overton
Yeah. I'm not whipping out Honda.
Woody Overton
So, you know, are you willing out is way more dangerous than Hyundai's for.
Cindy Overton
Our bank account, but not for me. I'd rather not have cash because I don't want cash like on my body. Like, like if someone robs me, I don't want them to get my cash. Captain Obvious, why are you doing that to me today?
Woody Overton

Woody Overton
I'm just being me.
Cindy Overton
I know.
Woody Overton
All right.
Cindy Overton
I need a bad profession.
Woody Overton
Your turn. Bad professional.
Cindy Overton
I got a Captain Obvious. The teacher does something bad and she gets in trouble. There you go. Story end.
Woody Overton
It's time for effed up professionals.
Cindy Overton
Former teacher in Wisconsin who's facing charges for kissing one of her students.
Woody Overton
Nice.
Cindy Overton
And now she's being accused of carrying on a sexual relationship with a 16 year old that she was hired to be the nanny for. The 16 year old wasn't 16.
Woody Overton
Was the 16 year old need a nanny?
Cindy Overton
The 16 year old wasn't 16 when she was hired to be the nanny. So on August 22, sheriff's deputies in Washington County, Minnesota, were called to a home to speak with a boy who said his nanny, Abigail Faust, initiated an inappropriate sexual relationship with him when he turned 15 last year. He told deputies that she had been his nanny since 2021. So she had been the nanny for a few years while she was involved with the teenager. Investigators say that she began the relationship with another underage boy. So the victims reportedly saw Faust's name in the news in relation to the accusations that she had kissed a student at her school in Wisconsin. So they see her being accused of this and they both say, we're going to tell our stories too, which is good, Captain Obvious. I'm sure that's what you're thinking. The parents of the second boy that Faust is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with contacted the first boy's parents and told them what they knew about her. Deputies say that Faust told one of the boys that she was in love with him. And after the news broke that she was going to be charged.
Woody Overton
She's got. She's got fucking issues.
Cindy Overton
So. The former teacher was charged in August with four criminal counts which included failure to protect a child, causing mental harm to a child, child enticement, and sexual misconduct by school staff or volunteer.
Woody Overton
I'm guessing she wasn't married, didn't have a family of her own. A lot of times they do.
Cindy Overton
A lot of the times they do, yeah. Prosecutors say that in addition to kissing a Student Faust knew about claims of another relationship between her friend Madison Bergman and a student and failed to report it.
Woody Overton
So another teacher and a student, they probably shared stories.
Cindy Overton
Yeah. Bergman was charged with first degree sexual assault with a child under age 13 and. And also with use of a computer to commit a child sex crime, exposing a child to harmful descriptions. Two counts of child enticement, and five counts of sexual conduct by a school staff member. And her next scheduled court date is on September 29th. She entered a not guilty plea. Naturally, a child known in court documents as Victim one reportedly told police that Faust knew that he and Bergman were in a relationship. And the child also said he believed Faust had a relationship with a boy identified in court documents as Victim two.
Woody Overton
Always. Always.
Cindy Overton
A witness told police that they noticed red flags in the way Faust and Victim 2 interacted, noting that it seemed as though they were flirting. Investigators reportedly recovered text messages from Bergman and Victim one that showed them discussing the relationship between Faust and Victim 2. So according to court documents, Victim 2 told investigators that Faust kept him after class one day, pushed him up against a wall, and began kissing his cheek. That's just. Victim two also told authorities that after the encounter, he became withdrawn and began having emotional reactions to things that he normally would not have. And when Investigators asked Victim 2 how he felt about Faust, he told them he never wants to see her again. She resigned as teaching from teaching at Rivercrest Elementary School in May and is currently in custody at St. Croix County Jail in Wisconsin on a 200,000 cash bond. And both of her trials are scheduled to begin in October.
Woody Overton
And you know that the. We talk about child molesters in prison, and women hate them. Women prisoner convicts hate child molesters, too.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
Especially because most of them have children.
Cindy Overton
You know, Miranda and I were talking the other day about, like, what is making women become predators. It's scary.
Woody Overton
I have no idea. I don't know if there's any more than it was 30 years ago. I just think again, social media and everything so instantly available. Right. Or like, true crime time for. Yeah, didn't have that 25 years ago.
Cindy Overton
Oh, well, we didn't have it a year ago. We're almost at our one year anniversary.
Woody Overton
All right, let me. Let's talk about. Play a little guessing game here. The. So restaurant, national chain.
Cindy Overton
Okay.
Woody Overton

Woody Overton
I don't like chilies. Just because the beer and then the service.

Cindy Overton
Really?
Woody Overton

Woody Overton
All right, so specific type of meal is breakfast.
Cindy Overton
Oh, I don't do ihop.
Woody Overton
You've been hop without me. I was like during flood or hurricane. You and all the kids. Okay, you've been ihop. You. You been IHOP plenty of times.
Cindy Overton
Yeah, I've gone to IHOP like maybe once since we've been together. I can specifically remember.
Woody Overton
How about before? Before Woody. Bw.
Cindy Overton
Yeah. Maybe with Bart. With a good friend of mine that enjoyed it. Yes.
Woody Overton
Probably so numerous times.
Cindy Overton
I mean, probably my daddy liked Aha too. Yes.
Woody Overton
There's no shame in going ihop, Just admit it.
Cindy Overton
No.
Woody Overton
You're an IHOP junkie.
Cindy Overton
Jun.
Woody Overton
All right, all right. So we're going to an IHOP in New York City. IHOP in New York City and there's a 67. This is not funny. There's a 67 year old worker at IHOP. Okay, this can be the short story I've ever done. 67 year old IHOP worker and almost at the end of the shift, on his shift on Friday in Brooklyn, trying to drag it out a little bit and. But guess what? He didn't make it to the end of this shift because he was stabbed and killed this court. NYPD Hector Reynosio Perez was stabbed in the Torso just before 11:40pm Friday night inside an IHOP in East New York. And according to NYPD, another unidentified 41 year old man was slashed in the hand during the knifeman's rampage inside the Pancake house. He refused medical attention at the scene, but Renacio Perez of Brooklyn was taken to the Brookdale University Hospital Medical center. And that's where the. He was pronounced dead. And there's absolutely nothing else to the story except for the assailant remains at large. But the. The killing act happened because the. The bad guy followed Renaisso Perez, who was a cleaner, into the bathroom and that's where he stabbed him to death. Why?
Cindy Overton
Like, what do you. What?
Woody Overton
No. No. Suspects have been arrested and investigation remains ongoing.
Cindy Overton
That is so old.
Woody Overton
Ihop. Ihop, dude. Six, seven years old.
Cindy Overton
It's not like he was walking around with tip.
Woody Overton
That dude. That dude's. I always said there's no bad job, right? That 67 year. No, it's not a bad job. A 67 year old man cleaning bathrooms at. At midnight. It's got to be the lowest rung on the ladder that there is. But he's doing it. Yeah, he's working and he's getting paid, probably minimum wage. And he got murdered.
Cindy Overton
That's what I mean. It's a tough job for a 67 year old man to do because those bathrooms.
Woody Overton
The hot professional would know about their bathrooms.
Cindy Overton
I know about their bathrooms.
Woody Overton
All right. Rest in peace, dude.
Cindy Overton
That's so sad. I hope they find the killer.
Woody Overton
I'm sure they will. What's there in Burning Parish?
Cindy Overton
Maybe run to Vernon Parrish. Killer Woody will get you there.
Woody Overton
It's time for Effed Up Professionals.
Cindy Overton
We're going to Harris County.
Woody Overton
Harris County, Texas. Houston. I'm a Leah Marie and who's just freaking phenomenal at what she does, right?
Cindy Overton
Yes.
Woody Overton
Her investigator producer, y'. All. And for all you new listeners. Okay, what's going on in H town?
Cindy Overton
A viral video was captured of a Harris County Precinct 1 Deputy Constable named Brittany Brown, and she was pointing a loaded firearm at a driver outside of her assigned duties. So the incident occurred during a family dispute, and she demanded a return of the phone that belonged to her sister, and the man in the car was her sister's ex boyfriend. And tension escalated with Brown approached the vehicle in full uniform, but she was off duty, and she was apparently trying to get involved in, like, had a personal vendetta against the guy. So the confrontation happened on August 5th of this year, and footage of the event quickly circulated online. And within a day, the constable's office removed Brown from active patrol and reassigned her to desk duty while conducting an internal investigation. And after assessing the incident, Harris County Precinct 1 Constable's Office concluded her actions violated department policies. On September 6, Brown was officially fired, and her conduct was deemed unacceptable by Constable Allen Rosen, who also confirmed the case had been referred to the District Attorney's office, Civil Rights Division for potential criminal charges or a grand jury review. And Brown's attorney has not issued a public statement regarding the incident. So she's just going to go be a bad butt, throw her gun around at a family issue?
Woody Overton
Yeah. Bad feel like a man. Or I guess in this Case a woman.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
Feel like a whatever. So look, going right back to New York City, the man with a knife. But it's not the same story. But this one's crazy as the. I mean, the cops and either badge feel like a man. That this would be how they sit. What they sit around and think about all day long. Like I wish a would. All right, because let me tell you this story. NYPD cops shot a man to death. Why?
Cindy Overton
PJ walked.
Woody Overton
No. After he tried to get inside a Brooklyn precinct station house early Sunday and slashed an officer in the face for stopping him. The slasher tried to enter 73rd Precinct station house at East New York Avenue and Thomas S. Boylan street in Brownsville through a locked door in the front. Vegetable about 5:30am on Sunday.

And anyway, so they see him, the uniform officer stops him and says, hey man, you need to go around to the front. If you need some help, go to the front. Right? And get. The guy didn't like being told that because he whips out a 14 inch butcher knife and attacked. It was a female police officer. Attacked her. He slashed her in the face, but then she was able to fight him off. NYPD Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera said the slasher ran and an officer tried to subdue him with the Taser, but the shot wasn't effective. And Rivera said that the knife attack and the Taser used were both caught on NYPD body camera footage. Officers then chased the man for more than two blocks to Saratoga Avenue, which is by Eastern Parkway, where the slasher lunged with the knife at one officer. Several officers opened fire, morally wounding the man, and medics took him to Brookdale University Hospital, but he could not be saved. He had too much lead in the system.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
Too many holes in him.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
Cops recovered the knife in the station's house rear parking lot, and it was not immediately clear if the man had a second knife when he reportedly lunged at officers near Eastern Parkway. Well, let me tell you this. It don't make a. Yeah, you slash one of my people's. Let's say I'm the supervisor of the girl and, you know, you slash her face.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
With a butcher knife. And then you run and they tase you, and you run and you turn around, you lunge back towards them. You getting shot.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
The. The. I mean, they have to assume that you had another weapon, but what. What do you think the outcome is going to be? You've already tried to kill. Not just slash one. Like you're giving a scar for makeup.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
To make her face look pretty. You try to cut her head off, and you run and you get tased and you run and they chase you for two blocks. You turn around, you have to assume that you're going to be attacked.
Cindy Overton
Wow.
Woody Overton
And when you turn around, you got smoked like a pack of cools, right?
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
So it's also not clear if the slash officer was the one of the cops who opened fire. She was taken to the area hospital for treatment and has been discharged. And Chief Rivera said, thankfully, she was recovering with good spirits.
Cindy Overton
That's good.
Woody Overton
So video posted on the Police Benevolent Association Instagram page shows the officer smiling while her fellow officers and hospital staffers clap for her as she's willed to await. I mean, just tell them to, hey, go around the front.
Cindy Overton
Literally.
Woody Overton
No, I'm gonna cut your head off.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
Yeah. So the PVA president, Patrick Hendry, said the officer, whose name has not been released, is a six year veteran who comes from a police family. Her father's an active duty detective and her mother is a retired detective.
Cindy Overton
Wow.
Woody Overton
Thank God. Our sister is on the road to recovery, but this was a clear targeted attack. On New York City police officers. This individual had no fear when he walked into a police precinct and attacked a uniformed cop. There is no telling what he might have done to innocent New Yorkers out on the street. And this according to Andrew. Despite being injured, our sister pursued this individual along with her fellow officers and they stopped the threat before anyone else was hurt. This is another example of the extraordinary work our police officers are doing in an incredibly dangerous environment. That's pops out to that, right?
Cindy Overton
Yeah, yeah, we could have been.
Woody Overton
But they, they think about this. He tried to get in the front door. He had a 14 inch butcher knife hidden on him.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
You can only assume, and I know what assume means, but you can only assume he can't get in the front door. He goes around to the back. He's going in there to kill police officers. He wanted, you know, suicide by cop. And he got it. He got it so good. Shoot. And you know what? There's not a person out there that can say anything bad about these cops because if he hadn't been able to get in the back door, they're right. He may just gone out on the street and started slashing people.
Cindy Overton
That's true.
Woody Overton
So there, there you have that. The. Anyway, the. Yeah. You were just in Houston. Let me take it. Let me take it back to Houston. I was in Houston, Harris County. Oh, I meant today on the show.
Cindy Overton
I was like what. I was in Lafayette, but all right.
Woody Overton
Mama's not always here. Y' all present in. In the moment and that's okay. So we're going back to H town and the man is accused of killing one person and injuring five others in an overnight shooting outside a Liberty county bar. And. But he's still on the run. This according to Liberty County Sheriff's office, which. What's up to you. Sheriff's office is seeking the public's help help in identifying the suspect by releasing these photos. Look at this. They got photos of them inside the bar. And I'm explaining to you in just a second. The. The shooting was reported around 2:30am Sunday at a loss Locos bar located on County Road 5018. Now the cops are describing the shooter shooting as a drive by. Right. Because nobody can be man enough to get shot back at. One person was pronounced dead at the scene. Two people were reportedly flown to Houston hospitals in critical condition and three others were transported by ground to a hospital with nine life threatening conditions. Investigators said the suspect was in the bar drinking beer at least 30 minutes prior to the shooting. And they didn't say what led up to shooting, just. It's just crazy.
Cindy Overton
Just take out your gun and kill.
Woody Overton
I mean, just hanging out in the bar, smoking on a cigarette. I'm looking at his pictures. I mean, they got his ass. It's just nothing. It's a matter of time. Then this came out September 7th. I'm sure he's in jail by now. The.
Cindy Overton
Just no concern for life, no respect.
Woody Overton
I'm a in this one with a little bit of history and crime from the state of Louisiana. And then we once had a famous or infamous governor, Huey P. Long, right. A lot of her bridges are named after him and everything else. And let me just play it for you in case you don't know what happened.
Huey P. Long Historian/Reporter
Okay, Brittany, thanks for that report. We're happening now. 90 years ago today, Louisiana's most colorful and controversial politician died the Kingfish. Former Louisiana Governor and Senator Huey Pierce Long died in Baton Rouge two days after being shot while walking through the Capitol.
So let's take a look back to the year 1992. That is when Louisiana State Police closed the case on who killed the Kingfisher.
Election held in this country between High.
Woody Overton
Papa Warren and Little Papa Hara Weiss.
Huey P. Long Historian/Reporter
Shot Huey Long in the Louisiana State Capitol September 8, 1935. A lone assassin, Dr. Carl Austin Weiss, a Baton Rouge physician, shot Huey Long as he made his way down a state Capitol corridor. State police released their final report on the long assassination in 1992. Nothing we found was in conflict with the original theory, historical theory of how this happened. They had reopened the investigation after discovering the alleged murder weapon, this.32 caliber pistol, some documents and photographs of clothes the Kingfish was wearing when he was shot. Photographs investigators described as the most significant pieces of evidence in the case. The photographs of the clothing of Huey Long, as I said, speak volumes. They show the entrance, the exit, the contact wound from the front. Rule out a ricocheting bullet, rule out an accidental shot by a bodyguard. Striking view as he went down the hallway. Close contact wound from the front.
So over the years, there have been many investigations and many books written about the Kingfish.
That's right. Many great books by t. Harry Williams, Dr. Richard White and Bob Mann. Now this is the latest American Huey Long of Louisiana by Thomas Patterson. And this is a really intriguing look at that part of American history. You can see it right there. A nice picture of the Kingfisher on front. But this is a must read for all those who want to investigate more into the life of times of the Kingfish. And also they have several chapters about the assassination and What Thomas Patterson thinks happened. Yeah, Fateful day.
It's hard to be in Baton Rouge and not see the name Huey P. Long. Of course, he made sure that we have the tallest capital in the country and so he's also buried right there. So a lot of history here. If you want to go to the old capitol, they have a walk through historical tour of his assassination and everything else to do with Huey P. Long. So what are your thoughts? I know you've, you've, you were part of the investigation stories.
Well, I, I can tell you this. I've done many, many stories over the years on it. I can tell you, I don't think history has unturned every, every fact that happened in surrounding who killed Huey Long and what happened. Of course, a lot of people think it was Dr. Weiss. Some people think it was ricochets from the bodyguards bullets and all that kind of thing. State police said definitively it was Dr. Weiss who shot and killed Huey Long. And many years later, Huey Long's son, Senator Russell Long, he came, we did the only interview with him where he actually talked about the assassination because for years he wouldn't talk about it. And he said he was convinced and satisfied that state police got it right and that Dr. Weiss was the lone assassin.
I'll have a family member say that, that, that means something. All right, well, thanks J.P. they, the.
Woody Overton
He was going to be president, no doubt about it. And he did so much like I've forgotten actually about the tallest capitol building. Yeah, I did the, but he, he, you know, did all the, the road programs and the state hospitals and charity and all that and, and gave, they, you know, rebuilt the economy and then there was no. That he was gonna, they said he was gonna be the next president. But I've, have you been where he was assassinated on a field trip and, and they had the, still have the bullet hole in the wall. But what they. You couldn't see on that video is when state police came back out and in the 90s and said no, they, when you see the clothing, the Weiss. And it's testified that Weiss went up to him, pulled the gun and he actually shoved it into him and shot him because there's the burn marks on the clothing. And a.32 caliber pistol is small, right? It's just one, I mean it's just a small ass bullet and everything else, but it had that big of tear and in through there is a contact wing and you know, people said oh no, it was, it was, yeah, it was the bodyguards firing back and all that no. Motherfucker. They. They. He killed him.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
So.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
Little bit of Louisiana pilot. I know we don't do politics, but the Kingfish was a. And we. We used to go to a club out on Lake Martin called the Kingfish.
