5. Legal Limbo and Lingering Questions (45:00–54:00)

• Body & Autopsy:
  • Ashley’s body has not yet been buried; an independent autopsy in the US is pending due to distrust over Tanzanian authorities and lack of transparency.
  • “She can’t even be buried because they need their own autopsy. Can’t even trust Tanzania’s autopsy.” (50:29)
• Financial and Logistical Barriers:
  • Flo laments how difficult (and expensive) it is for families to get answers or intervene when a loved one dies abroad:
    • “It costs $2,000 just round trip… That is why going out of the country with someone—it’s just dangerous if you don’t really know them.” (40:48)
• Status of Joe McCann:
  • Reports are conflicting—he is “detained as a witness, not as a suspect,” but it’s unclear what level of restriction he’s actually under, since he’s active on social media.
  • Flo asks: “When they say detained, what exactly does that mean?” (54:05)

  • Family and community resolve to keep demanding answers.
  • Flo closes with deep empathy for the family’s pain and a reminder of life’s fragility:
    • “It hurts me because…this could be any of us. …To have a funeral and can’t even bury your daughter because she has to have to keep the body preserved for an autopsy…I wouldn’t wish it on anybody.” (50:50)
• Final Thoughts:
  • Flo reflects on the importance of vigilance, the dangers in travel with partners you may not fully know, and the legacy left by Ashley in the hearts of her family and friends.

Transcript

[A]

Hello, Hello. Wake up, wake up, wake up. It's the flow show. No filter. Back for another crazy episode. I apologize for Monday and Monday I had a very, very important thing to do concerning my son. Took care of it and we're moving on. Shout out to, to the Live crew. Sorry we couldn't save the live last week. We will hopefully be able to come together in the future and near future maybe and put something together. But aside from all that, we got a show to do. Shout out to everybody out there listening on Apple and Spotify. Shout out to my YouTube members. We about to get this thing started. Go. So. This is a, a crazy, crazy news cycle. We got the Ashley Janae case, we got the David Singer David case. We got Always. We got Diddy, and then we got Trump. This is like shrimp gumbo. You ever had a shrimp gumbo? We always talk about as my favorite, one of my favorite meals back in the day. It was just a mix of a lot of. A lot of different things. And that's what this news cycle is. It's just a lot of different things and we trying to keep it, trying to make sense of it. So let's start off first with Ashley Janae's situation. We all know Ashley Janae is the young lady who married or got with. Well, no. She was proposed to by her fiance, Joe McCann in Africa. They did a trip to Africa and on that trip they. Got into an altercation. She had been dating them a year. They get into the altercation on the trip, and after the altercation, they are split up by the hotel people or villa people, resort people, whatever you want to call them. And allegedly, Ashley Janae was found unalive, unresponsive. At first, let me back up. There's been speculation between did Joe McCann find her unresponsive? Did the hotel find her unresponsive? You know, we're getting different stories from different people, so it's hard to say which is which, but she was apparently found unresponsive but still alive. She goes that she's transported to the hospital. Joe McCann, from my understanding, called the parents or somehow got in touch with the parents, let her know that she was in hospital, but she would be fine. Not too long after that, she is unalive and Joe McCann stops communication with the parents and the whole story gets. Goes haywire. People wondering, why would you disappear if your fiance is dead? Why would you not be communicating with the parents? Why would you stop communicating with the parents? And everything. All type of evidence start pointing towards Joe McCann, Even down to the body not being able to be the family had problems getting her body back. And by them having problems getting her body back, Obviously Joe, which who was supposed to be well off or have a lot of money, didn't help get the body back. And people were also wondering about that, like, why would you not help the family get your fiance who you just proposed to, why would you not help get the body back from Africa to America? So that was another thing people were looking at him about. Then there were ties between him and, and the, and the family and I'm not. Sorry. Sorry. Ties between him and the, and the resort owner. So people start saying, well, the resort owner is obviously covering for his, his friend and he also, the resort owner also doesn't want bad press out about his place. And like people are getting unalived at his place. So the story of saying that ashes and they self unalived herself just made, made everything a lot easier for him and gives him, the resort owner motivation to cover up for his boy. So we that. Sorry about that. So with all that at all that adding up and people saying that, you know, they even were saying he possibly had an insurance policy on it. I don't know about all that, but just there was a lot of circumstantial evidence that pointed Joe McCann's way. And he stayed quiet for a long, long, long, long time. Until now. He has finally come out saying something. Excuse me, he has finally come out saying something. And this is Ashley influencer Ashley Janae fiance. And let me read this statement. Let's read this. Let's see, let's see, let's see, let's see. This is just a crazy, crazy, crazy story. So it's pretty long, long winded statement. But it says the heading from Jasmine Brand, which is a social media handle, Instagram influencer Ashley Janae's fiance Joe McCann breaks silence, caused her death in un fillable boy. This is Joe McCann's statement. I believe this is Twitter that he put this on. Could be so, could be Instagram. But this is from his account, Joe McCann. Now before I read it there, I don't have to tell you, there are a lot of people not buying it and some people are, are buying it, you know, so you, you, you be the judge. Here's the statement. There are no adequate words to describe the total devastation, emptiness and shock. Losing my best friend, confidante and fiance, Ashley Janae Robinson. As a father myself, I am also heartbroken for Ashley's parents, Yolanda Indras and Harry Robinson. Ashley's death is an incomprehensible tragedy. Devoted fans knew Ashley through her charismatic online personal Persona. Sorry Ashley, but the person I love was Ashley, spelled with a Y not two e's. A woman who embodied the virtues of compassion, empathy, kindness, generosity and love. A nurturing presence as she cared deeply for the people closest to her, which to my external gratitude, included me. She fed me up with her amazing cooking and had a great relationship with my kids. Each day we share both quiet moments of reflection and the many joys of being in love with each other. Ashley was a loving soul, so much so that she called herself a lover gal as a home as a homage to her Trinidadian roots in which she took great pride. Now what? Just from the beginning, what did do you think? Do you do? Are you feeling well? Maybe this guy didn't have anything to do with it or are you like this guy absolutely has something to do with this? Sounds like Jack Chat GPT to me, but I'm not judging. But definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely. He's definitely pouring it on thick. Definitely, definitely pouring it on thick. The comments Before I continue on this letter, the comments are going, people are are flipping out saying like I don't care what you say, I know you did it and all kind of crazy things. I don't know. I'll continue though. Ashley was a loving soul so much that she called herself a lover gal, which we said was paying homage to her her Trinidadian roots. There is no question that she would have been an amazing mom. Ashley talents extended well beyond her online Persona. Ashley Janae she was a creative genius, even writing, directing and acting in her own short film. She was an incredible decorator, almost making sure our home reflected the current holiday or season. Hosting was a second was second nature nature to her, going above and beyond for the guests that we entertain. As she also had an encyclopedic knowledge of music, especially her favorite band Aerosmith. She enjoyed techno and dancing and was learning to DJ and could rap too. Ashley was an angel who shined her light on everyone fortunate enough to be in her presence. There's no way to feel the unfulfillable void left by Ashley's passing in no way to make sense of this unfavorable, unfathomable loss. All we can do is carry on Ashley's legacy of helping others people and strive to live up to her virtues every single day. Ashley, I love you forever. Joe. Let's go to the comments. Let's go to the comments. Let's this this now I'm gonna give you both sides. Some people. Some people bought it. Some people. A lot of people didn't. This person says, as someone who suffers with depression and thought of unaliving her myself since I was 16, let me tell you, it doesn't always show. Friends, workmates and relatives don't always see it because we choose not to show it. The most happiest people on this earth walk around with so much burden. Who knows what was really going on with her? I'm not saying this girl did it. I am not. See, I am not saying this girl did it to herself, but just wanted to bring out a different perspective. When my sister took herself out almost two years ago, she woke up, spoke to her mom, went for her morning jog, and she made the decision. People who are severely depressed can check out at any time and anywhere. I hope she went on her own terms. But if he took her away from the loved ones, I sincerely hope she get the justice that she deserves. Deserves. Now, someone else said, everything about this screams, I killed her. May you have your. And this is a response to. This person says, may you have your day with God on this one. Someone said, PR wrote that. So if she is ha. And someone says, so if she was happy, so, so happy. And all these positive, joyful things, what happened? Sounds like she had all these things to look forward to. No one just checks out like that on a vacation. A lot of different opinions. A lot of different opinions. I'm gonna give you mine. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I do. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. But if I'm being honest, I. I don't know. I don't know. I wasn't there. I wasn't there. But it is hard for me to believe. This young lady unalived herself, especially all the circumstances surrounding it. And for Joe McCann, I'm gonna tell you to go ghost on the parents. It just does not look good at all. If he had nothing to do with it, had no reason to feel guilty about anything. I don't see why you go how you go ghost on a family. Especially after writing all these great things about Ashley. All those great things he wrote about Ashley, All those great personality traits. They were developed by the parents. They were. She was raised by her parents. So at the toughest time, At the toughest time, You don't talk to them, you avoid them. The toughest time in their parents life for their. As far as Ash is concerned, you feeling all this crazy. All these great things you say about Ashley all you just proposed to her. You just disappear on the parents. You are a grown ass, old ass man. As she was a young lady. What the hell is going on? What altercation has got so crazy that. What altercation got so crazy that you had to be split up? You can't say anything better than like you can't control the situation better than that. Sorry about that, y'. All. A lot of chaos going on right now in Cleveland. Trying to, trying to. Trying to keep everything going smooth. But you are supposed to be the leader of this. You're an old man. What type of altercation that you let get so far and go so far to the point where not only are other people in the resort hearing you, But the freaking. They have to split you up. You too old for that, Joe. This is why when I'm looking at all the little extra details of this case, It doesn't add up. Had you let me tell you this, if this would have played out in this way, I wouldn't be even looking at Joe as hard. Had he called the parents immediately when something happened and had he communicated consistently with the parents and remained visible while this was going on and saying, hey, I the whole time, Hey, I am here to bring whatever information needs to be brought to find out what exactly happened to Ashley, my fiance, my future wife, and been visible when it was time to get her body back to the States immediately. Shouldn't have even been a question of how we get it. Do we need a gofundme? Get her body back immediately. Joe, this is the somebody you just proposed to. Somebody you just said all these great words about. Immediately get her body back,

[B]

But you

[A]

didn't do none of that. Joe didn't do any of that. He went ghost. He didn't help get the body back. He didn't even make a. Do a press conference. He didn't do anything to say. I want to find out what he did do, but what he did, he said he did. I want to find out what happened to my fiance, my future wife. No. He immediately put a narrative out there saying that she unalived herself. How do you know that? How do you know somebody didn't tie her by her neck to the door? How do you know? How do you. How did you. How were you so sure? How are you so sure when you found her that she's absolutely just unalived herself? That part stinks to me. That don't pass the smell test. You. You just said she was so full of life. You had no evidence. You didn't say anything about her always saying she was going to unalive herself or even talking like that. You, she just was proposed to, everything's fine. You may have had an argument. Do you find come back and find her unresponsive with things tied around her neck. And you immediately jump to, she underlived herself. You didn't think for one second that somebody else could have did it, somebody else could have staged that, any of that? That don't seem right to me. That don't seem right at all to me. And they don't seem right to a lot of people out there. I can't wait to see what the parents have to say about this. They probably won't comment on it, honestly speaking. And then on top of that, you finally come after weeks and weeks and weeks. How long has it been? It's been weeks. Now, I don't need to tell you, but just in case you didn't know, the family didn't invite him to the didn't invite Joe McCann to the funeral. As a matter of fact. As a matter of fact, They haven't spoken to him since her death. They haven't spoken. Can you imagine that somebody proposes to your daughter that she is found unalive and then you don't speak to that person. Doesn't speak. You haven't spoken to that person since the death, that is. Man, you never know who, what people's intentions are. Let's say he, he didn't have anything to do with it. Let's say he didn't have anything to do with. Why wouldn't you speak to the parents, bro, if you didn't have anything to do with. Let's just assume he didn't have anything to do with it. Guys, for a second. She dies and you disappear. You just tried to propose. Let's go into this article at TMZ about them not inviting them to the funeral. I don't blame them. Do y'. All. Do you blame them? I don't blame them. Influencer Ashley Janae, fiance not invited to the funeral Ashley Janae's loved ones are saying goodbye this week, but the later influencers fiance Joe McCann won't be there. TMZ has learned the influencer, whose real name is Ashley Janae Robinson, died during a trip she and McCann took to Tanzania last month just days after he popped the question. Ashley was reportedly found unconscious in her villa and rushed to the hospital where she was ultimately pronounced dead. She and her fiance alleged got allegedly got into an argument the day before so bad that the hotel Staff had to put them in separate rooms. Authorities had seized McCann's passport while investigating Ashley's death, but only questioned him as a witness. According to local outlets, police were initially leaning towards suicide, but her family isn't convinced and is conduct conducting an independent autopsy to try and get answers. As we previously reported, her body was returned to them about a week and a half ago, but Ashley's dad told us they hadn't got gotten her belongings back, including her engagement ring. There are two viewing schedules for Ashley, one tonight and one tomorrow morning. There will be a homegoing service immediately after the second one. This is just sad. Parents looking for answers, but we have no answers. All we have are questions. And he. There was so much time in between finding Ashley and the fact that Ashley didn't have any. Ashley didn't have anybody on African soil to kind of represent for her. There's a big reason why we don't. It's going to be hard to find out anything, and I said that from the beginning. I wish the parents could have got over there soon, could have got over there immediately to Africa. There was a rumor going around that Joe McCann was arrested, but he was actually detained. I don't believe any of that at this point. I don't believe they did anything to Joe. I don't think he was asked any questions of any of, of any relevance. I believe they just, whatever needed to be covered up was covered up. And, and, and whatever connections Joe may have had allowed him to kind of like not be even questioned about this. Just, just a sad situation. I don't know if it's, I don't know if I, I, I pray that she gets justice, but I'm just not feeling confident about it, especially. With what has happened so far.

Just wrapped up earlier this morning at

[A]

9am this is a breakdown of the funeral, Ashley Janae's funeral. Let's dive into it real quick. Evan.

[B]

There was her funeral yesterday. We covered the wake. I will pin the video in the comment section below. For those who haven't seen it, this will be a continuation. The service started out beautifully, a very, very packed church. This was the program. I'm not going to show you guys too much. I like yesterday. I want to be very, very respectful to the family. And I'll start this video off just like how we started off yesterday's video. I will not be telling you guys any details of how Ashley looked or her casket or any of those things. It was an open casket, but I will not be giving any of those details out. I want to respect the family. The day started off beautifully. Like I said, packed church. Again, shout out to the preacher and the ushers. Everybody was extremely welcoming, hospitable and very, very warm. This is a South Jersey small town and you could feel the love. This Second Baptist Church is where Ashley was baptized. This is her parents church, this town and this church right behind me, you can still see some people outside gathering, leaving. This is where Ashley got her beginnings and today we learned her humble beginnings. One of the reasons why I wanted to cover this was to get a better understanding of Ashley. I've been covering this story before it hit the international airways and media outlets. And covering it, I felt like it was important to not only just know about the headlines and what happened in Tanzania, but to come here where she was born and raised and feel her community to get a better understanding. And I hope that I'm going to be able to translate that in this video and I hope I was able to do it yesterday as well. One also thing that I would like to say about the ushers is as soon as I walked in today, they said, they said Trent, Trent out loud. And I was like, oh. And he said, I watched your video yesterday. Thank you very, very much for the kind things you said about the church.

[A]

So this is Trent out loud. He's a YouTuber. If you don't, if you're not subscribed, check him out. He has been covering this Ashley Janae case relentlessly from the beginning. So I definitely encourage you guys to follow him. He's breaking down like, like you said, he's not, he didn't, he doesn't go into how she looked and all that out of respect for the family. But he's definitely giving a play by play of kind of what went on

[B]

to the family friends for welcoming us there. It started off with a musical prelude, was very, very nice. Then there was the clergy and the family that walked in. Beautiful family, everyone dressed in white. We spoke about this yesterday where this was a celebration of life. There was nowhere there on the, even on this program here. This is a funeral. Father, family, sisters, brothers, cousins, etc. Everybody was dressed in white and they walked in as we all stood and they took their seats. There was scripture reading, Old Testament and New Testament. Then the prayer of comfort from Reverend Dr. Lewis J. Dixon, the pastor of this church here. Then there was a musical selection, very, very well done. Like there was not a dry eye in the house. Shout out to Pastor Robert Norman Jr. Then Acknowledgments, cards and resolutions. And then Ashley's story. There were family members and also life reflections from family and friends. So this is something here that I want to highlight. One, there's three of her friends that spoke and also to note yesterday to the guys that Joe Button was here, but I didn't want to give any details. I wanted to also respect him and how he was grieving. There were some more familiar faces in here today. I just decided to not even tell you guys who they are or how they were grieving. I just want to respect their privacy. But three of her friends got up and one of the guys said, we are not going to stop until we get questions and justice. So that gave me comfort. As you guys know, covering this story. I like you want justice to be served for Ashley.

[A]

If so, that's good to hear. Let's stop right there for a second. That. That's good to hear that. That Ashley's family and close friends are not stopping. They're going to continue. And I'm definitely, definitely, definitely. Glad to hear that because a lot of times things can look so crazy and so hopeless that the people around you start losing hope and start, you know, saying, you know what, Forget about it. But for them to be at the funeral and still saying like, hey,

[B]

we

[A]

not stop until we get questions answered makes me feel good that at least in death, she's got more backup than she may have had while she was here, because like I said, she didn't have any backup in. In Africa. And that just shows the danger of going out of town with somebody by yourself to a whole nother country where. Oh, my God. Did y' all understand how. How dangerous that is now? Just because, like, you go over there, they know everybody. They got all the connections. You don't. You're basically solo dolo. You're by yourself, you're with them, but they have. They're. You're on their ground because Joe McCann knows everybody. And so. You go out of town, and I mean out of the country. You go out of the country. And something happens. Now you are an eternity away from all your family and friends, and you're on the soil with somebody who. They have all the connections. That's a recipe for disaster. You can't. People can't even afford to come. I mean, we talking about a couple thousand dollars round trip, minimum, maybe more. Couple thousand. Especially with the gas prices and what's going on. Now. We talking about a cup. Matter of fact, gas is in Cleveland before. Side note, gas in Cleveland is like $5 now, y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

And I Don't know. I know you Cali people and New York people, y' all might be used to the higher gas prices, but let me give you an example. We are $5 before we at were at war. We are $2 and 70 something in Cleveland per gallon. $2 and some change before we went into this war with Iraq, Iran. Now in Cleveland, I don't know if I, I've never seen five dollar gas in my lifetime in. So just to let you know what the hell been going on here. But let's get back to Ashley. So. It costs $2,000 just round trip and then if that person needs somewhere to stay, you talking about more money, you talking about damn near $3,000 just to get over there and have a place to stay just to see what's going on with you, Ashley. That is why going out of the country with someone, it's just dangerous if you don't really know them. Like I mean if they're not family and friends or whatever. And I know that was his fiance, but you only know him a year and to go out of the country, I mean and people do it all the time. And I'm not blaming Ashley for it. I mean should I probably have done it or put myself in similar situations not knowing, not realizing how, how serious some things can get. But hindsight 20 20, we looking at this now and it's like, wow, that is dangerous man, because now you nobody can find out anything. People don't have the money to go over there immediately or find this out and find us out. Now the person who possibly could be behind all this gets to use all their connections with no eyes on them and just erase all memory of what the hell they may or may not have done. Let's get some more background on this funeral.

[B]

There was some foul play and of course questions, questions from the Tanzanian government, questions from the police, questions from Joe, etc. That was the one time that any sort of justice or questions were brought up. The mom or family members didn't speak. Another one of her friends said hanging out with Ashley was like being with Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama, Oprah, and America's Next Top Model all in one. And that was his definition of who Ashley was in one person. Another one of her friends said that she would say to everybody in the room, you better talk about me and you better post and you better post good pictures of me. We all know that Ashley was an influencer. We all know that Ashley loved the camera. So that gives me some sort of comfort knowing that she would like us to be talking about her and continuing on her good name. I think I said this earlier. This was where Ashley was baptized. And lastly there was a eulogy by Reverend Lisa Shelton which was beautiful. She compared Ashley to Michelle Obama. She spoke about Michelle's book becoming and kind of likened it to Ashley's experience where Michelle Obama was raised on the south side of Chicago. Humble beginnings and made something of herself and drew those lines to Ashley as well too coming from a neighborhood like this and Humble beginnings. And she was the only other one too that mentioned something about headlines, not about question or justice but she mentioned that Ashley was more than just a headline alluding to the fact that yes, we see media talking and people are speculating but Ashley is more than just that. And again this is what I am hoping to bring you with both of these videos and, and bringing you more than just the headlines. And Tanzania, I'm gonna give you a little bit more than what's in this program. They give you a story here of Ashley about her as a, as a child growing up etc her high school. I'm gonna give you a part that I think that might interest you. They talk about her in New Jersey and then moving to Philadelphia to get into hospitality and then she moved to Miami and it says in Miami she continued working in hospitality, music and modeling industry connecting and collaborating with artists such as Drake, Freddie Gibbs, Shaggy and many more. Ashley loved the camera and she represented brands including David Davis, Active and Royal Touch and others on her.

And you hear talking about all the things she's done and music and all of that entertainment. And you know one thing about funerals, it makes you, it brings everything together as far as how serious, how precious life is and how sad it is when life is lost. You know you got this being this person doing a million things, experiencing a million emotions. Happy, sad, excited, mad. And. In the blink of an eye. All those emotions are wiped out. It's just zero and it just stops abruptly. It's almost like a car going 150 miles an hour for years.

[B]

And

[A]

it just crashed into a wall. Boom. From 150 miles an hour to zero and that's it. And all we are left here is we left here with the memories. And videos and whatever else that person leaves behind.

Her path to doing what she loved. Her presence throughout these many experiences touched the lives and heart of so many people in so many ways. Ashley loved her family and friends. She loved music, fashion and traveling. Ashley was a wonderful singer who would compete with anyone when it came to singing. The national anthem and one of her family's favorites, At Last by Earth the kids. We all know that. At last. All right, so that's all that I'm going to read from there. Like I said, I'm not going to show the pictures. Something to note, they said Drake, they said Freddie Gibbs, and they said Shaggy. Important to note, they didn't say anything about Joe Button. We do know that Joe talked about Ashley on his podcast and said that anytime the family needs anything or needs any help, he's there. I just thought it was interesting that they didn't include him in the program and included Drake, Shaggy, and Freddie Gibbs. Just something to note. And also here, the family decided to have on the back of the flyer Chanel, which is something that Ashley obviously liked. And you can see here on the front they have her purse with the Chanel bag. There will be a repass from 1:30 to 5:30. I'm going to head over there now. Also, before I wrap this up, I want to talk to you guys about the burial. And I want to be very, very careful on how I handle this. Not to give out too much information, but what I will give you is that there will not be a burial today. There is a reason for that. For those of you who've been watching this, you do know that there was an autopsy done in Tanzania. There has been no result given to the family. We do know that the family has ordered an independent autopsy here and we have spoken with specialists. And I did a special video covering the fact that keeping Ashley's body as long as possible while the case is still ongoing is the best course of action. So like I said, there is a repass, but there are some things that are going on that I don't feel comfortable giving up.

[A]

So it's a lot going on. Trent says he doesn't feel comfortable with putting some of this information out. But she can't even be buried because they need their own autopsy. Can't even trust Tanzania's autopsy. They haven't been given any information from Tanzania about their autopsy. I don't know. And people will say, well, that's because of the investigation. But damn appearance. Parents can't know about what the hell happened to their daughter. But I don't know. But anyway, but now you have a funeral. She can't even be buried because they have to investigate. And after they get their own autopsy. Just so many things that I would never wish on a parent. This is. It hurts me because like, as a parent, man, this, this could be any of us like, this is. This is a terrible position to be in. It's a terrible position to be in. I wouldn't wish it on anybody to have a funeral and can't even bury your daughter because she has to have to keep the body preserved so they can do the autopsy and whatever else comes in, which makes sense. It's just. I know it has to be tough on that mother and that father and. And her rest of the family. You gotta do what you gotta do.

[B]

Right now. But I just feel comfortable enough at least saying there will be no burial today. We will give you guys more information when the time comes and when it's appropriate. I want to try my best to respect the family. Of course, there's a lot of people in the comment section that are asking about Joe McCann. Again, want to respect the family, want to respect the investigation. But from what we know and what the information that has been shared is that Joe is still in Tanzania. There are reports that he is still being held. We know that the police say that he's being held as a witness and not a suspect. That is still the information known to the public. When we are able to give you guys more information, we will. And also, in closing yesterday's video, we touched on the fact that there were a lot of white people here yesterday. We do know that Ashley's mother remarried a white man, and they have children. And of course, there are a lot of family members from his side. They are Ashley's step family, but they have been in her life, I think, close to, like, 15 years. So, yes, we do know that some of the white people there, of course, are her mother's new husband. But I still think that there may be some white people from Joe's side. Now, like I said yesterday, and I'll reiterate, Joe has maintained his innocence and Joe is a grieving fiance.

[A]

So a lot of new news there that you may not have known. So I. I didn't even know that Ashley's mother had married a white man. So there were a lot of. Or some white people. A lot of white people at the funeral, which I guess confused some people or some people thought it was a lot of Joe McCann's people. Trent tends to believe there may have been a couple Joe McCann people that were sprinkled in there. We don't know that, but definitely some new news that we did that that was not known. Side they are actually, but they also have been. But there's also some been saying that he is still being detained, but not as a suspect, as a Witness, Not as a suspect, but as a witness. When they say detained, what exactly does that mean? Detained in a police department, in a police facility, Detained at his home, detained by phone. What exactly do they mean by detained? Because obviously he's still tweeting, he's still. Communicating to people and, and, and, and, and on social media. So I don't know how serious this being detained is, but. I guess we'll know, Warren, as this unfolds. This is just a very sad case. Funeral has happened. No burial because they got it. The family has to get their own autopsy. And we would just play the waiting game. We'll be back right back tomorrow for sure. I gotta give you some David the singer updates on that gruesome alleged unalignment. This is what he's being charged for. Unalive. And Celeste, who was a minor and did a lot of allegedly, he's did a lot of unspeakable things to her. We're gonna update that Diddy is planning some big surprise. I mean, not surprised, but some big party when he comes home. We'll have to get into that. And some updates on Diddy's appeal. What's going on? From the way Diddy and his family are, the way they acting, I feel like they must know that the appeal must be, is, must is going to be denied because the party that he's planning is supposed to be 2028. So, but I don't know, we have still haven't had word on that. And other than that, y', all, I'm going. Well, looking forward to trying to get back, somehow figuring out a way to get our Live back.
