So that being said, let's get down to some true crime time for Wednesday.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

It'S time for family matters.

[Cindy Overton]

Start off this beautiful day in Crawford County, Arkansas. And on August 20th of this year, deputies responded to a disturbance at a wooded campsite east of Katcher Road. And when they arrived, they discovered the body of Kevin Witt. And he appeared to have been brutally attacked. His remains were found among blankets and backpacks that suggested that someone had been living there. And near his body were two Phillips head screwdrivers. And investigators noted blood clearly covering his head, face, neck and hands, as well as staining on a nearby tree. The next day, 39 year old Gregory Stephen Witt Jr. Which was Kevin's husband, walked into the Crawford County Detention center and confessed. He admitted to stabbing Kevin multiple times with the screwdrivers and said he had also Choked him during the attack. The argument that escalated into violence was was fueled by drug use. And while speaking with jailers, Gregory broke down. I guess when they put him in the hold, he said, I killed him. And then I miss him. Court records show Gregory was charged for first degree murder and has pled not guilty, although he confessed to his cellies.

[Woody Overton]

Right.

[Cindy Overton]

But also he walked in and confessed. He is currently being held on a $1 million bond at the Crawford County Detention Center. And Gregory has a history with law enforcement and this history is very shows instability. Long before he killed his husband, in the years prior, he had multiple run ins with the police in Sebastian County, Arkansas, including arrests for disorderly conduct, failure to appear, and incidents tied to disruptive behavior. And in March 2024, he was even booked under a mental hold after a charge for disorderly conduct involved excessive noise. But later that case was dropped. His criminal record also shows other misdemeanor level arrests between the years of 2023 and 2024. But despite his troubled background, Gregory's relationship with Kevin continued until it ultimately ended with Kevin's death at that campsite.

[Woody Overton]

There you have it. Nice. Go camping, get murdered. Right? Yeah, I don't know.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't either.

[Woody Overton]

I don't know the. Well, go to Florida. Tampa, Florida.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

And I got a 31 year old man who will cancel Christmas for the next. Well, actually for the remainder of his life because he just got sentenced to life behind bars for killing a 20 year old who he gunned down in a local park to teach him a lesson. Because if you get this, I give you a billion dollars.

[Cindy Overton]

He didn't say yes, sir to him. I have no idea.

[Woody Overton]

He accused him of stealing a package of socks. Okay, right. That's a good reason.

[Cindy Overton]

Perfectly good reason.

[Woody Overton]

So 13th Judicial Circuit Judge Leanne Goody on Tuesday ordered Jerome Alexander Parker to serve life without parole in a state correctional facility for the 2024 slaying of Nassir Delaney Roland. The sentence was handed down after the jury found Parker guilty on one count of second degree murder with the use of a firearm. Now, according to the the probable cause affidavit, officers with the Tampa Police department at about 7:15pm back in. This is back in 2024, August 9th, responded to a report of a shooting at Copeland Park. And upon arriving at the scene, the first responders located the victim on the ground, suffering from apparent gunshot wound to the head. So the emergency people, analysts and all of them arrived there and, you know, they did what they could do and ultimately transported to the hospital At Tampa general, and he was pronounced dead. An autopsy showed that he was shot in the head with the bullet passing through his skull and penetrating his brain. Right. So at the time of shooting, Delaney Ryland was with a female friend who witnessed the murder and provided the statement to police. She said that the victim met some friends at the entrance to the park, and they were walking deeper into the park when Delaney Roland observed a package of new black socks lying on the ground. He picked up the socks, and the group walked eastbound towards the park's picnic shelter. As they were walking, a man rode up to the group on the bike, Yelling at him. The victim, and accusing him of stealing a package of socks. Parker, the shooter, quickly dismounted the bicycle he was riding and aggressively approached the victim while reaching into his waistband for what appeared to be a firearm. In response, the victim punched the male subject in the face, causing him to fall to the ground. Right. You want to pull your pistol on me? I'm going to hit you with my cannon first. Yeah. The witness told the detectives that the victim then threw the package of socks to the ground, which Parker picked up. Afterward. The witness said she and the others, including the victim, continue to walk towards the picnic shelter. Well, the guy that got punched wasn't really done yet, so they said. As he did so, Parker got up from the ground and once again aggressively approached the victim, While this time he was holding a dark colored pistol. Now, according to the witness, the male subject in question threatened to shoot the victim and teach the victim a lesson while pointing the pistol at the victim's head. Well, in response, the victim began to ask the other occupants of the picnic shelter to help him by telling the unidentified male subject to stop pointing the gun at him. And the witness said that after no one came to the victim's aid, the victim once again punched the subject with the gun in the face. When he did it, the subject with the gun fired a single shot to the back of the victim's head, causing him to fall to the ground. After the shooting, after shooting the victim, Parker left the package of socks and took a different bicycle than the one he had arrived on.

[Cindy Overton]

So he stole a bicycle and he.

[Woody Overton]

Ran like a little bitch. Well, cops showed up and they do what they do. Investigated, and they got some DNA recovered from the scene, and it came back as a positive match for Parker, who was initially charged with first degree murder before being convicted of the lesser second degree charge. Anyway, the.

[Cindy Overton]

How does he get a second degree charge for shooting him in the back?

[Woody Overton]

The back of the head? I know the first Three. First, the only difference is aggravating circumstances. And I guess to say, I mean, shot him. Second degree life is life in Florida, like Louisiana. Yeah, but the. I guess it couldn't prove he was. The aggravated circumstance would have been the robbery. But I guess there's the speed over the socks. I don't know.

[Cindy Overton]

Jesus.

[Woody Overton]

But he can wash his own socks in his sink and his cell. His toilet. In his cell. Yeah, they use the toilet because the sinks you have to constantly hold down the button so you can't flood the cell. So they clean the toilet, they flush and clean it, clean it up good. And then they get the bar state issue, so. And whether sturdy drawers getting the stains out or the socks, they hand scrub them, wash, dip them and dip them, dip them, wash them like old school.

[Cindy Overton]

Do they get cleaning like.

[Woody Overton]

No, you turn your laundry in a laundry bag and it goes to the laundry and it gets washed. But you don't know what you're going to get back.

[Cindy Overton]

No, I know, but like, when you're cleaning the toilet, you're cleaning it with your bare hands.

[Woody Overton]

Well, I'm sure they are then. But they give you like 10 minutes a couple days a week with a mop and a whatever to clean yourself. Okay, there you have it.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't want to find out about that.

[Woody Overton]

No, you don't.

[Cindy Overton]

I'm going to Oklahoma City.

[Woody Overton]

Oklahoma City.

[Cindy Overton]

I'm going to interstate. On September 2nd, a crazy. I mean, to me, the description of this was wild. But an incident unfolded on Interstate 40. A corrections van, which was part of a routine inmate transport by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, was traveling when something went wrong. An inmate inside the vehicle somehow broke the rear window. And once the window was broken, the inmate exposed himself, like, showed himself, like, you know, whatever, shirtless and shackled. And he began sticking out through the damaged rear opening.

[Woody Overton]

Nice.

[Cindy Overton]

From that position, he pleaded with passing drivers for help, and he strained to open the back door. And witnesses driving nearby recorded this on, of course, their cell phone. And this was later shared. The cell phone footage was later shared on TikTok. And among the witnesses was Tig and Martin and her sister Alexis, who filmed as they drove alongside the van. At first they thought it might be a joke. One of them can be heard saying, don't you effing do it, bro. The whole frightening scene lasted for about two minutes on this video. Correction officials reacted quickly once they realized what was happening and the van exited the freeway and additional law enforcement support was called in. The M8 was eventually secured, removed from the window, and transported again with no injuries and the incident ended without further harm, according to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

[Woody Overton]

All right, so we're going to India.

[Cindy Overton]

I literally was going to say India.

[Woody Overton]

Really?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, I really, really got that ESP.

[Woody Overton]

Going on this morning, sister.

[Cindy Overton]

Yep.

[Woody Overton]

So. Well, you know, it's common. Husbands killing wives and right the. This is another billion dollar question. If you can guess why this husband killed his wife, I will literally give you a billion dollars.

[Cindy Overton]

She ate something of his.

[Woody Overton]

Nope, not even close. You couldn't get in 400 years.

[Cindy Overton]

Probably don't think like a murderer, so.

[Woody Overton]

Well, listen, let me tell you about it, y'. All. This is. This is the first time I've ever heard of this. A man was sentenced to death in Udavar, India, after brutally murdering his wife because he locked her in a room and burned her alive. But why?

[Cindy Overton]

Her food was gross.

[Woody Overton]

No, that's fine.

[Cindy Overton]

Thinking of reasons you might kill me.

[Woody Overton]

This is. This is not a reason I would kill you.

[Cindy Overton]

It's not funny. I'm sorry for this.

[Woody Overton]

Right woman.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes.

[Woody Overton]

He burned her alive due to the color of her skin.

[Cindy Overton]

I said he married her.

[Woody Overton]

I know. So his name is Kishandas and he carried out the crime on June 24, 2017. And his wife, Kashima, he did it because he believed her skin was too dark. And this chord, this guy reported all over the world. The BBC, the Hindustan Times, the Independent. So on the night of the attack, Lakashima was given the liquid the victim described as medicine by her husband. He told her that it would make her skin lighter and he applied it to her body.

[Cindy Overton]

Like Michael Jackson stuff.

[Woody Overton]

Okay, I guess so. But when he put it on her body, she was like, it smells like acid. And. But he used an incense stence. Incense stick. Yeah. Say then he lights the incense stick on fire and puts it to her. And whatever he put on was highly flammable because it burnt her ass up. Then while she's on fire, he takes the rest of the liquid and pours it over her body to make the fires burn a little bit brighter. So naturally, like a Shima tries to haul ass and. But he shoves her into a room and locks the door. Right. Well, the bad guy's family was around and they like what, the fog? And they open the door and they get her out and they took her to the hospital. But she died from her injuries. So Nakashima detailed the abuse that she suffered in statements to the police before her death, saying that her husband routinely taunted her for being dark skinned and he body shamed her after their 2016 wedding. He lit her on fire and body shaming her and all that.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

They said it will not be an exaggeration to say that this heart rending, brutal crime was not just against Lucas Shima, but it's a crime against humanity. Judge Shuddery said in A court. According to the BBC, the judge accused Kindas of violating his wife's trust and said that throwing the remaining liquid on her was an example of excessive cruelty. Like right, I mean, you're already on fire. Here's a little bit more love for you. And he added that this was the sort of crime that cannot even be imagined in a healthy and civilized society. A young woman in her early 20s was murdered brutally. She was someone's sister, someone's daughter. There were people who loved her. If we don't save our daughters, then who would? That's according to the prosecutor Denise Palwali. And the prosecutors presented evidence from 14 witnesses and 36 documents to accuse Kishinda's of repeatedly toning his wife. Casino's attorney surrender Kamara Manana told the BBC that the victim's death was accidental and claimed that there was a lack of evidence. Whatever. They got 30 some statements and your family was home. You rubbed her down with some, lit her on fire. They were in a closet. Because I. You know what? Yeah, that's kind of true there. Even if she was dark skinned, you light them on fire, peels the skin off so it's pink underneath and you lose the pigment.

[Cindy Overton]

Like I have a part of my foot that doesn't get tan when I. When I tan, it stays white because I got burnt as a child and I lost the pigmentation there.

[Woody Overton]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't help with the body shaming part there.

[Cindy Overton]

No.

[Woody Overton]

Anyway, they sentenced him to death. Hey, I wonder how they put him to death in India. How do they execute someone in India? By hanging. Oh, that's a good one.

[Cindy Overton]

Good.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

She probably thinks we're sick.

[Woody Overton]

Clear your search history. The. Yeah, hanging. That's a good old fashioned way.

[Cindy Overton]

This is a very ignorant question, but don't they have a arranged marriages?

[Woody Overton]

I don't know. If I come up from India, I heard of arranged marriages, but I don't know what country it is.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, well, shoot. In our family we have a contest to see who can get the darkest.

[Woody Overton]

Not anymore. Too old for an hour.

[Cindy Overton]

I know, but we used to for many, many years.

[Woody Overton]

That's true. That's all true until you won and.

[Cindy Overton]

Then it was done.

[Woody Overton]

True on that too.

[Cindy Overton]

That's how contests go.

[Woody Overton]

Yep.

[Cindy Overton]

Around here.

[Woody Overton]

Play till you win it, win it in it till you win it.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, this is a crazy story.

[Woody Overton]

All right.

[Cindy Overton]

On September 3rd, library staff at Wayzata, Minnesota noticed Robert Philip Ivers printing copies of a 236 page manuscript, all right. Titled how to kill A federal judge.

[Woody Overton]

How in the writes a 236 page manuscript on that and doesn't go to prison for it?

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, well, I'm not done with the story. It's just the first sentence. The manuscript. The manuscript included detailed threats against judges, their families and others. He showed pages to the library staff, some with depictions of guns, and also handed them a three page flyer advertising the manuscript. The flyer described it as a guide to teach people how to plan, train, hunt, stalk and kill judges, their family members or any politicians, and much more basically how to kill. Also on August 28, church staff at Minnetonka had reported Ivors to law enforcement because of his abnormal behavior. He had attended several services and expressed plans to show up at church related events, including ones where children and lawmakers would be present. During that, church staff discovered Ivers had a past conviction for threatening a federal judge and found other concerning online activities. Law enforcement arrested Ivers on the evening of September 3rd following the library incident. During the arrest, he was found with items in his car connected to the manifold. They're calling the manuscript a manifesto and threats. Authorities seized 20 spiral bound copies of his manuscript. Flyers about it, lists of federal judges, a copy of the Anarchist Cookbook, a toy replica firearm, fireworks CO2 cartridges and a container of pellets. While being Transported after his September 3rd arrest, Iver Ivers claimed he was having a heart attack and was taken to the hospital and then released later that night. He's like, I don't want to go there yet. On September 12, 2025, a federal grand jury indicted Ivers on three counts threatening to assault and murder a federal judge, threatening a U.S. supreme Court justice, and interstate transmission of threats to injure others, including a defense attorney. The indictment references threats made in his manuscript and the accompanying flyer. Ivers has a criminal history of similar conduct. In 2018, he was convicted for threatening to kill a Minnesota federal judge, Judge Wilhelmina Wright. And he's also been charged previously with threatening a federal judge official, though one of those cases was dismissed. In interviews after his arrest, Ivers admitted showing the manuscript to library staff and said plainly it was supposed to scare people. Isn't that crazy?

[Woody Overton]

That is, yeah, definitely crazy. So. Well the I think I said about our lawyer, Thomas Davenport. He, you know, good friend of ours always talk about him all the time, jam up attorney. But every Friday he takes off to take kung fu. He does not karate. No, don't, don't, don't, don't say karate because it's not the same thing evidently. Right. So. And I guess Taekwondo is not the same thing either. So let's just. It's time for family matters. All right. We're going to tell you about a Taekwondo instructor. And he's in his 30s, right? You know, you think you got to be disciplined and to be an instructor and learn all that, right? The. Well, he is from some buckle in Goyanga. That's the name of the town or the city. And. And the police there say they detain him. Why? Because he was suspect on charges of inflicting injury and violating their anti stalking law. Now, let me tell you what happened. So the instructor is accused of kicking his victim in the face around 10pm on August 2 in a street in the Gangyang's Islandong district. The attack occurred after an argument during a drinking gather with acquaintances. So the victim because taekwondo and you practice kicking shit, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

The victim suffered a fractured facial bone and nerve damage that required surgery. And guess what? The victim was his girlfriend. How do you like that? I mean, you know, bitch slapping somebody is one thing, but you are. You are a Taekwondo instructor. You had a few beers and you decided to kick. Not Kung fu, Tommy. Kick the girl in the face. She said, I was so terrified of time. I pleaded for my life and there's no feeling left around my nose and under my eye. And the doctor said it may not come back. Well, after he kicked her in the face, he then entered her home without permission and sent photos taken from inside. And then repeatedly, repeatedly contacted her by phone and text saying, I apologize. I'll come home.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, okay. Yeah, gee.

[Woody Overton]

She said, I never gave him the passcode, but I think he must have seen it when I was going in and out. I keep thinking, if I had gone to my place that day, what would have happened to me? Well, police arrested him and they are referring the case to prosecutors. And in case you're wondering what country all that is in, I believe it is Korean.

[Cindy Overton]

Nobody could tell by the way you were saying the name.

[Woody Overton]

It could have been China.

[Cindy Overton]

It could have been China. It could have been anything.

[Woody Overton]

Are you saying my Korean isn't good?

[Cindy Overton]

I. I am.

[Woody Overton]

Is that a word? Korean? Yeah. Language. Korean. Yeah. Anyway, they actually have surveillance footage of it. He.

[Cindy Overton]

On June 25th, around of this year, around midnight, a shooting took place at the 400 block of North First Neck Road in Florence County, South Carolina. Police were called to a chaotic scene to find 16 year old Trey Wright lying in the road with gunshot wounds to his chest. Multiple people were at the scene and some were screaming. Wright was taken to the hospital but died from his injuries. Investigators say the shooting stemmed from a fight involving Wright. The guy that was shot, his girlfriend whose name is gianna Kistenmaicher, she's 17 and the 19 year old Devin Raper. And Kistenmaicher or Maker is accused of driving Raper to the location knowing he was armed and that there would be a confrontation. The fight was said to have been triggered because Kistenmaiker apparently was cheating. The fight was said to have been triggered by allegations of cheating and Kistenmaker is alleged to have accused Wright of cheating. Hours before the shooting, they exchanged messages via Snapchat, which is the way kids message each other. And then as they continued with their snapchatting, the tensions escalated. Witnesses reported Wright approached an suv, banged on the window, and when the vehicle's door opened, gunfire erupted. And as the SUV drove away, even more shots were fired. And one person in all of this was wearing a ski mask and holding a gun. In the following days, law enforcement arrested nine people in connection with Wright's death. Seven of them were identified and are facing murder charges. Raper, who is believed to be the one to have pulled the trigger, was denied bond. Kistenmaker was arrested and charged with Accessory before the fact to felony. And that is that. These are kids.

[Woody Overton]

Your kids and kids.

[Cindy Overton]

I mean, my 16 year old boyfriend cheated on me. And I promise you, we didn't have an entourage of nine people going around ready to kill him. I mean, you're 16.

[Woody Overton]

I got no answers to that. But I will take you to a place that you're pretty familiar with. The woods. The Wood. Now wish. The Woodlands.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, yeah.

[Woody Overton]

All right. And. And the Woodlands is outside of Houston and it's actually covered by the. Close to cover by the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, which my good buddy JD Is the head polygrapher there. Anyway, so you're gonna be interested in this one. And they got a dude, he's now behind bars after he got. The cops were chasing him.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

In a vehicle seat. Right, okay. From the Woodlands because he did a robbery. Yeah, but what he. What did he steal?

[Cindy Overton]

I could have guessed a robbery. I don't think I can guess what he stole. He stole a car.

[Woody Overton]

No, he was in a car though, when they arrested him. So. Authorities identified the suspect as John Travis Jones. He's 24 and he's from Atlanta, Georgia. He's not even from Texas. Right. And he's now in jail on charges of robbery and evading arrest in a motor vehicle. They didn't say he stole it. Sydney. On Friday, Montgomery county deputies responded to a robbery at the in the Wood. It's a store in the Woodlands.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, gosh, there's Gucci store.

[Woody Overton]

You're real close.

[Cindy Overton]

The Louis Vuitton.

[Woody Overton]

Louis Vuitton store in the Woodlands. And according to the cops, an off duty Harris county is. That's Houston, y'. All. Deputy witnessed the incident of the dude stealing whatever he stole and gave a description of the suspect's vehicle, which was a white Ford F150 with Home Depot markings. So deputy found the suspect's vehicle on the I45 service road near Sawdust Road. Can you have a road named Sawdust Road too?

[Cindy Overton]

I know it well. There's a good barbecue place on that road, but anyway.

[Woody Overton]

Okay, okay. That was bw, so it doesn't matter. Before Woody, the. They got cold beer.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, I didn't drink beer at the time to tell you how cold, but.

[Woody Overton]

All right. So the suspect then fled and. Which initiated a police chase that continued on to the Hardy Toll Road. You got any good barbecue places there.

[Cindy Overton]

On the Hardy Toll Road? No.

[Woody Overton]

Don't act like you know. You don't know.

[Cindy Overton]

I know the Hardy Toll Road.

[Woody Overton]

In the pursuit, the suspect struck two vehicles near the i610. Any good barbecue place?

[Cindy Overton]

That's the loop. That's the Internet.

[Woody Overton]

I know it is. The chase ended at the intersection of North Freeway and Yale Street. Any good barbecue. Any good barbecue places there? I bet there's some met good Mexican places. And the suspect, he ran like a little and ran a red light and crashed into a two passenger vehicle in the metro bus line. Ever been on the metro bus line? Just teasing. The suspect was later apprehended by the deputies after he ran like a little. Houston fire department officials arrived on the scene to give treatments to the victims who were taken to the hospital. Now the deputies say that Jones was treated and released from Houston area Hospital before being transported into the Montgomery county jail. So evidently he crossed that Harris county line. And according to the deputies, investigators believe Jones might be connected to more Louis Vuitton robberies and thefts in other cities. So look, y', all, there's. There are people who do it every day. I used to do it for. I. I won't say it's. I used to do it for one of the most exclusive jury chains in the United States. I think they have like seven or eight different locations and four states. And I would go in and teach them. But the. They. Their distributors are Rolex. And yet to be there's only like a couple in every state. And the. But these professional criminals would literally go from state to state to their stores. And so I trained them. Hey, this, you know, somebody's act suspicious, we'll pull a video footage, send to other stores because they're going, yeah, that's what they do. And. And the bad guys and girls that are professional robbers for a living, they go still Louis Vuittons. And sell them for half price. A lot of times on the Rolexes and shit, they had orders on them ahead of time from the streets. Dude, like, who got a new Rolex coming out? It's a $50,000 watch. Get it for me, I'll give you 10.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And they did it. And they were wearing disguise and do all kinds of shit. But anyway, I trained them on it and stopped so many robberies from happening because the same vehicle. And we'd follow them out to the vehicles and buy cameras, etc. And they would turn up the next day in Arizona. Right, right. And in. And when they came in the store, they were ready for them. Yeah, but whatever happens, law supply and demand.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, but you stopped them from ever.

[Woody Overton]

These beast. The. I stopped us telling how many bank robberies we stopped. Not bank robberies, jewelry store robbers. And stop. But after I implemented my system, the owner told me this, first time in 27 years he didn't have to file a theft report. Insurance reports, parallel access and various other items that people be won. All right, so let me just do one more. So what we're going to tell you about now is another burger. All right? And there's this woman, and she lost almost all her valuables. Everything valuable that she earned. Right. And. But she didn't care about anything other than what that was valuable to her.

[Cindy Overton]

A ring that her daddy gave her?

[Woody Overton]

Nope. Photos of her beloved dog who had died.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So the victim of the burglary, she appealed to the robber who broke into her house, said, hey, keep everything you stole except for the memory card. It has photos of my dog's last day alive on it. I cannot replace those photos. And she asked him to return her priceless possession. So the woman, who's a Canadian writer, didn't care about the cash. Her dslr. What does that mean?

[Cindy Overton]

Dslr?

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

No idea.

[Woody Overton]

S. Oh, you don't have it. What is DSLR stand for?

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

As an adjective, DSLR means denoting or relating to.

[Woody Overton]

It's going to be a single lens, reflects camera, digital image sensor, whatever. All right, so. Or. Or everything else that was stolen except her dog's memories, please throw it onto the porch or put it in the mail slot. And she pled with the burglar to return the camera's memory card. That's a dslr. The woman who had lost her beloved pet a few days prior to the robbery wrote that she couldn't afford to lose her photos as those memories made her feel closer to her dog. The death of a pet, as we all know, can be very stressful for owners, and in fact, it can lead to mental health issues like anxiety. And in a survey you go found that 88% of American pet parents consider their pets to be family members of their family. Now, this means losing her pet would feel like losing a family. Right? The Toronto woman was also very close to her dog, which proves why she was more worried about losing her pictures than anything else. So let me tell you a little bit more about it. So this, you know, woman's experience. What about the other 12 of the pet owners who don't.

[Cindy Overton]

Just don't give up?

[Woody Overton]

Right? But anyway, the. The story struck a deep emotional chord in people who gone through a similar experience. And like one lady kiss somebody come in it. My house was broken into and they stole a lot of stuff. The thing that matters the most was my Cat's ashes they took from me. I had her for 21 years before she passed away. It's the biggest loss I still feel to this day. And that happened 10 years ago. Another person said, my father was robbed and they took his laptop. We didn't know why he was so upset about it, since he was never materialistic. Later, he told us he had over 200 poems written by him and kept them a secret to surprise us. Eventually, he passed away two months later and we will never read them. Another user who goes by Lucky Girl Hannah, said, this happened to me. My cat died. And the vet made me a little claw print with her paw on it. She was so tiny. She fit into a small box with her favorite toy and some little sweet notes from the vet. I was so hysterical about losing her that I forgot it in my car. And that night my car got robbed. They stole my money and some of my jewelry. But I didn't care. What hurt was, they stole her paw and her favorite toy in that little box. It was all I had of my baby. I called the cops and my boyfriend and one very nice officer walked around the neighborhood and surroundings until they found it. They asked me if I wanted to use the box to find fingerprints to press charges, and I said no. I didn't care who did it. I just wanted my baby back. And I couldn't have her. So I got the next best thing. Her toy and her paw print back.

[Cindy Overton]

I would have pressed charges.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Put a death pillow. Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

Literally.

[Woody Overton]

That's crazy, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. Like that happens. And we know you lifers love your fur babies.

[Cindy Overton]

That's for sure.

[Woody Overton]

Right? We love our fur babies, too. You're trying to do some special fur babies. We'll let y' all know if it happens. You know what I'm talking about. So, that being said, I don't think I have anything else today.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't.

[Woody Overton]

You don't? All right, y'. All. We love and appreciate each and every one of you. Peace, love, happiness, murder and hate. All that. That's still ranting and raving in the knees because of people believing in whatever. Go yourself if you do that. Kind of. And I'm Woody Everton. I'm Cindy Overton, your host of True Crime. Time for this Wednesday. We'll holler y' all later. Peace.
