In this episode of “Bloody Angola Podcast” Jim Chapman concludes the story of the manhunt, conviction and sentence of Ryan Sharpe.
A Serial Killer who terrorized the rural parish of East Feliciana in the late summer and early fall of 2017, claiming that he was ordered by the FBI, U.S. Navy and the State Police to collect “Human” Hunting tags, resulting in the murder of (3) and near murder of a fourth man in the area.

00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:23.920
M h, I walked straight, line, shackled chain, Oh gluesome girdie,

2
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:27.320
it's calling my name.

3
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:30.239
There is no.

4
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:37.200
Mercy and this being a tenery juice as the hill

5
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.799
stream game wrangled the three.

6
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.799
I'm here, be by me or die.

7
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.679
Inside these walls, inside the wise.

8
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:14.560
And when no cris I'm sole.

9
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:13.480
By.

10
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.560
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Bloody Angola, a podcast

11
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.239
one forty two years in the making. The complete story

12
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.920
of America's Bloody is present. I'm Jim Chapman, and today

13
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:47.560
I am continuing with part two of People Hunter and

14
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.680
the last time that I left you, Ryan Sharp had

15
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:55.480
been arrested. In the subsequent questioning, he had admitted to

16
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.319
the murder of three men and the attempted murder of

17
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:06.239
another in an elaborate claim of collecting people tags people

18
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.800
hunting tags, if you will, so I'm going to pick

19
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.240
up there. And after confessing to all of this, of course,

20
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.479
it's straight to jail for thirty six year old Ryan Sharp.

21
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:23.199
And this is in the late fall. It's actually late

22
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.280
October of twenty seventeen, and a lot came out regarding

23
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.080
Ryan Sharp, publicly the fact that he owned a fairly

24
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.919
successful plumbing company, and the fact that his father was

25
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:40.840
retired law enforcement dominated local media as of this time. Now,

26
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:45.560
the investigation was swift. Police were able to find tons

27
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:50.560
of physical evidence, including matching casings found at the scene

28
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:56.080
to rifles that Sharp owned, so that his confession and

29
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.639
all the other things they had, there's just no doubt

30
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:02.520
this guy committed these. So from there the charges were

31
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.919
first degree murder of Brad Di Franceski, second degree murder

32
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:13.159
of Tommy Bass, second degree murder of Carol Breeden, and

33
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:18.199
the attempted first degree murder of Buck Hornsby. Now, an

34
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:23.639
interesting thing happens on December fourteenth of twenty seventeen. A

35
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.479
woman that was living with Sharp when he was arrested, well,

36
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:33.400
she was arrested after stealing fourteen thousand, five hundred dollars

37
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:38.159
from Sharp's safe at his home. Sheriff Jeff Travis came

38
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.439
out in the media and said Robin Lender, who was

39
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.199
fifty four, broke into the safe and she stole money,

40
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.639
But he emphasized she was not involved in any of

41
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:56.000
the shootings whatsoever. So from there the legal gymnastics continued

42
00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:02.000
and they got ridiculous. There was delay after delay, and

43
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:08.240
in April of twenty eighteen, East Feliciana Parish District Attorney

44
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:13.000
Sam Daquilla. He opted not to seek the death penalty,

45
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.759
and he gave some reasons for this. Primarily, he cited

46
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:21.439
the time involved in prosecuting such a case. D Quilla

47
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.959
knew the defense they're gonna pull the mentally unfit for

48
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.519
trial defense. There was no doubt about that. And if

49
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.839
it's a death penalty case, that can stretch it out

50
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.639
for more than a decade. To be honest, maybe even

51
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.759
more than that. He was trying to get this guy

52
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.560
in jail at least for the rest of his life. Look,

53
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.519
I'm not saying I agree with it. I don't know

54
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:53.199
what the family's thoughts were on this. Personally, to me,

55
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:58.120
if anybody deserves the death penalty, it's people that commit

56
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.040
crimes like this on any human beings. But they had

57
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.560
their reasons and that's what they were going with life

58
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.879
in prison. He let the defense know that as well.

59
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:13.879
So time moves on. In nearly two years after the killing,

60
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:19.720
jury selection finally starts in East Feliciana Parish and the

61
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.240
trial started in the winter of twenty nineteen. Now, this

62
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.680
trial took about a week to complete and when Daquilla

63
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:32.399
opened the trial, he argued that Sharp took plenty of

64
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:37.720
steps to not get caught, such as destroying or throwing

65
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.160
away ballistic evidence like bullets, and you heard that in

66
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.399
his confession. He even mentioned that he took one of

67
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.240
the shotgun shells that had flew in the back of

68
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.680
his truck and he had burned it or threw it

69
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.079
in a fire to get rid of the evidence, and

70
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.480
then disposed of the brass. He also mentioned during his

71
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.680
confession that he intentionally left his cell f und at

72
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.279
home so he could not be tracked or didn't have

73
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.519
to worry about being tracked, and he said he would

74
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.000
even pull his battery out of his celf, and at

75
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:10.759
times he mentioned that he would circle the homes before

76
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:15.120
shooting the victims to make sure that no witnesses would

77
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.959
be present. All of those things show what premeditation of

78
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.720
some sort that's important. Why is it important, Well, it

79
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:30.680
proves he's sane, because an insane person by definition, does

80
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.560
not know what they are doing is wrong, same as

81
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:41.279
someone who claims temporary insanity, which was incidentally exactly Ryan

82
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:47.000
Sharp's plea not guilty by reason of temporary insanity. The

83
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.199
defense also made claims that in the moss leading up

84
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.040
to the shootings, he became detached from friends and family,

85
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.800
and that he started neglecting his plumbing business. They used

86
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.879
examples of how Sharp became very paranoid and said he

87
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:09.160
had no memory of the shootings. So the entire task

88
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.959
of the jury in this case was not to determine

89
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.720
so much whether Sharp committed these shootings. That was clear,

90
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.560
he confessed to it. The only real determination they had

91
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.839
to make was whether he knew that what he was

92
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.480
doing was wrong when he committed those shootings. And I

93
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.959
want to mention the support quickly that all the families

94
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.360
had for each other in this case, because it's worth

95
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:37.399
pointing out now, although this was a trial that was

96
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:43.639
only for the killing of Bradde Franceskey, every family affected

97
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.879
by the actions were there throughout the trial. All the

98
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.920
physical evidence was shown, including the interrogation video I played

99
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:56.240
you last week, which I just cannot imagine how hard

100
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.879
that was for the families to hear, I mean, the

101
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.560
graphic detail tales of that in court. As far as

102
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:07.839
the defense, only five witnesses were called, all essentially speaking

103
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:12.120
to Sharp's mental state. These witnesses included his father, and

104
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.600
some friends and a couple of expert witnesses. And when

105
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.639
it was all over a week later, the jury voted

106
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:25.240
eleven to one to convict Ryan Sharp a first degree

107
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:30.439
murder and that would become a major issue later on.

108
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.600
Why just a few months later after that verdict, the

109
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.120
Supreme Court actually changed the law as it relates to

110
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:44.720
criminal convictions, requiring a unanimous jury verdict. Remember this case

111
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.399
was eleven to one. Now, the initial vought was due

112
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.240
to the fact that the crimes in the trial took

113
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:57.200
place before the law was changed. It certainly wouldn't apply here. However,

114
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:01.480
a district judge did not see it that way and

115
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.799
through the verdict doubt, which meant, believe it or not,

116
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.120
a whole new trial would have to take place. There

117
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:15.279
were higher stakes this time, because the Da sam Duquila

118
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.000
would again seek a first degree murder conviction. The jury

119
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:23.480
would have to be unanimous, no easy task when you're

120
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:28.759
going up against an insanity defense. Especially the families. They

121
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:35.720
were shocked and understandably disgusted, especially the d Franceski family.

122
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.320
They would have to go through all of this again.

123
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.799
They would have to relive this nightmare again, and the

124
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.840
trial would not come around the second time for four

125
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.279
and a half years after the first dude to several

126
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:56.159
motions regarding Sharp's mental capacity, et cetera. But the second

127
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.879
trial of Ryan Sharp did finally happen. This was in

128
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.799
in August of twenty twenty four. Now, this is some

129
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:09.840
seven and a half years after he killed Brad di Franceske,

130
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:15.720
and after just one hour of deliberations, a twelve person

131
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:21.440
panel did indeed find Ryan Sharp guilty of murder in

132
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:25.879
the first degree of Brad d. Franchske. So I say

133
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:29.399
this often, and it's no exception in this case, that

134
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:34.279
there are always victims on both sides. After the guilty verdict,

135
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:38.679
the mother of Ryan Sharp, she spoke to reporter Kier

136
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:42.639
and Chaula, and she said, quote, I pray that today's

137
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:46.360
verdict will bring the de Francheske family closure in this

138
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.840
horrific event. Through our grief. Today, I would like to

139
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:53.120
offer our prayers to the victims and families that have

140
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.600
always been there. We offer them peace unquote. Now, this

141
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:01.720
was the first time that Sharp's family had ever spoken

142
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:06.080
out in public. And look, no matter how evil someone is,

143
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.080
there's always a mother, a father, a sister, a brother,

144
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:14.360
someone somewhere that loves that person, and I thought they

145
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:18.000
handled the situation with as much grace as they could

146
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:23.879
considering the circumstances. Now. During this second trial, incidentally, the

147
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:29.240
state called fourteen witnesses, the defense only called three. Sharp's

148
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:34.320
father is sister and one of Sharp's closest childhood friends.

149
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:38.879
And in October of twenty twenty four, Ryan Sharp was

150
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:45.480
sentenced again to life inside a bloody and gola for

151
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:51.120
the murder of Brad d Franceske. And that was a

152
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:55.799
obviously unanimous verdict this time around, So what about the

153
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.440
other victim? Next up for Ryan Sharp was the trial

154
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.360
in the murder of Carol Breeden, which, if you'll remember,

155
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:07.720
occurred just across the line in East Baton Ridge Parish.

156
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:13.440
And as despicable as this is in my mind, more

157
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.639
delays thirty three court appearances for the Breeden family, and

158
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:23.320
in April of twenty twenty five, yet another delay, as

159
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.440
the judge in the case ordered what she termed a

160
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.799
sanity commission to be formed to determine if this guy

161
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.840
was saying it is absolutely infuriating to me that the

162
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:42.039
rights in these cases are always weighted towards the accused

163
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.879
and not the victims, and in this case, someone who

164
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.320
obviously did everything he said he did pisses me off.

165
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.279
But on May twenty twenty twenty five, just a few

166
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:56.600
months ago, doctors did find Ryan Sharp competent to stand

167
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.600
trial for the murder of Caro Breeden in a trial

168
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:04.200
day was set for November seventeenth of twenty twenty five,

169
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.159
and Da hill Or Moore, who is the baton rouge

170
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:12.039
Da and lead prosecutor Dana Cummings, they said they are

171
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:16.399
going to seek life in prison for Ryan Chart. Now

172
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.600
likely we're looking at nearly ten years after the killings

173
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.879
before just two of the four families we'll see justice.

174
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.639
Of course they will never get closure, but sadly justice

175
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.679
will have to wait until this trial is over for

176
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.360
Buck Hornsby and the family of Tommy Bass. And of

177
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.440
course I'll keep you updated Crime Wire weekly. For those

178
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.879

00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:41.320
you're so inclined. But all right, folks, welcome back to

191
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:44.960
Crime Wire Weekly. We're going to be talking about a

192
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:49.639
ton of crime that has taken place Louisiana police officials.

193
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:55.840
They have arrested several police chiefs and several different parishes

194
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.039
of the state on a fraud plot that you are

195
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.039
absolutely I gonna believe. If you're like me, it will

196
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.679
blow your mind. I never saw this one coming that

197
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.679
they have been arrested. Interesting thing was they were arrested

198
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:14.559
at an actual Louisiana Police chief convention of all things,

199
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.799
so I'm sure that wasn't embarrassing for them. Two women

200
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:22.679
were killed in Kentucky and a trooper was shot in

201
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.200
a church. We're going to discuss that as well, and

202
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:29.000
much more so stay tuned for that. And of course

203
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:30.159
I'm Jim Chapman.

204
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:31.519
And I'm Kelly Jennings and.

205
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.360
How was your week thus for Kelly Jennings.

206
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.879
It's been a wild one for me. I've been watching

207
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:37.919
trials on TV.

208
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:40.679
That's always fun. Yeah, I actually enjoy that.

209
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.720
Look, some people like to watch movies, some people like

210
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:47.600
to watch cartoons. This girl is watching True Crime twenty

211
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:48.159
four to seven.

212
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.879
Yeah, yeah, Well you are a true crime officiat officiata.

213
00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:55.960
I believe that's what it is. That's what you are.

214
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.320
I couldn't spell that nor pronounce it. But if you're

215
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.080
listening to show, you're probably true crime fan just like us.

216
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:05.200
And I'm sure you spend your own time watching trials

217
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.279
and things of that. Made all right, So let's get

218
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.720
into it. We are going to start out in Louisiana,

219
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:15.399
and four law enforcement officials, including two current police chiefs

220
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.159
in Louisiana, are accused of fabricating police reports in a

221
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:24.440
scheme to illegally obtain US visas for immigrants. This from

222
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:29.759
federal prosecutors. A Louisiana businessman is also charged in the scheme.

223
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:34.000
The US Attorney's Office in the Western District of Louisiana

224
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.399
alleges it between December twenty sixth of twenty fifteenth and

225
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.600
July fifteenth of twenty twenty five. That's right, ten years

226
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:48.360
businessman Chandra Khant Patel, O'Dell police chief, Chad Doyle for steal,

227
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:54.320
police Chief Glen Dixon, former Glenn Moore police chief, Tibo Oniithia,

228
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:59.000
and Michael Slainey, and I apologize if that pronunciation is off.

229
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.879
A marsh in the fifth ward of the Marshall's Office

230
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:05.559
all conspired to produce false reports that were used to

231
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.880
apply for What's Done as You visas where victims of

232
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:15.160
certain crime are eligible. Immigrants seeking you visus would contact Patel.

233
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.680
Now Patel for I'll just go ahead and tell you this.

234
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.160
He owned a subway sandwich shop. He was a business

235
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.039
owner in the area, and basically he was a middleman

236
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.279
for this whole scheme. And I'm going to deviate from

237
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.759
this article because I know this kind of well. He

238
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.240
was a middle man for this scheme and he would

239
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.319
set up to where he would go to the police

240
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.480
chief and he would say, hey, look I've got a guy.

241
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:41.880
He's an immigrant. He's in this country, but he didn't

242
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:43.920
want to go back to wherever it was he was from,

243
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.960
and so we would like to pay you five thousand dollars,

244
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.759
and in exchange for that five thousand dollars, we want

245
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.000
you to say that he's a witness and a crime,

246
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.880
or we want you to say that he's a victim

247
00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:59.839
of a crime. Now in either one of those two cases,

248
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:05.079
the you visa is a visa specifically developed to keep

249
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:08.880
that person in this country if they are witness or

250
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.319
a victim to a crime. Not only that, but if

251
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.799
you're a family member of someone that is a witness

252
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.680
or victim of a crime that is an immigrant, you

253
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.799
also get to stay in the country. So, to really

254
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:27.200
put it into Layman's terms, they were totally fabricating police

255
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.920
reports to say that someone was either the victim of

256
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.200
a crime or they were a witness to a crime,

257
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:36.480
so that that person could say, in this country, this

258
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:41.240
subway sandwich own, sandwich shop owner would pay five thousand

259
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.279
dollars each for this. And get this, there were hundreds

260
00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:49.960
of immigrants that took advantage of this, if you will,

261
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.960
this scheme, and it is all coming to roost, I

262
00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:57.079
guess you could say for these folks, and they have

263
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:01.200
dropped the hammer. So they actually went in to the

264
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.839
Louisiana Police Chief Convention where these two chiefs were and

265
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.880
basically said, you know you're under arrest, you have the

266
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.440
right to remain silent. It is wild A Marshall also

267
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:16.160
involved in this, and as I said, the sandwich shop

268
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.680
owner was the middleman, mister Patel. Now the only one

269
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.920
currently still being held in jail is Patel. The others

270
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:26.640
may bond and they have been released. Of course, everyone's

271
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.359
innocent until proven guilty. But I can tell you if

272
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:33.200
the Feds have done all of these years, they've got

273
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:39.400
pretty good evident Yeah. Never even would have considered. You

274
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:42.839
know what, this has made national news. It's breaking everywhere

275
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.519
into me, uh, the fact that these are look, folks,

276
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.799
these are smaller towns. These are not big towns in

277
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:54.440
the state of Louisiana. And what a lot of these

278
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.039
national organizations are really saying is it's amazing this scheme

279
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:01.359
was being able to be off for this long in

280
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.720
towns that are this small. I mean, one of these

281
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.799
towns has like one police chief and three you know

282
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:09.559
other officers.

283
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:12.279
And he's putting in over one hundred of these right,

284
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:14.559
and weren't they all armed robberies or something like? It

285
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:16.799
was like a bizarre when you look at when you

286
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:18.680
look at crime data. Okay, and I don't want to

287
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:20.799
be dry right now, but seriously, you know, when you

288
00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:23.440
look at crime data, you have projections of amounts of

289
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.039
crime in a certain area and demographics and all that

290
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:28.880
are are looked at that in population, and then there's

291
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:32.240
this disproportionate amount of armed robberies and then you have

292
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:35.000
to wonder, okay, well, obviously those aren't going to trial

293
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:39.519
because they didn't happen. Yeah, so what's that about? And

294
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:42.839
I'm thinking that might have been what cleued in the Feds,

295
00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:46.079
maybe a tip, but also you know, maybe that might

296
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:48.000
have been what clued them in, because it just doesn't

297
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.799
jive with the traditional I agree over time.

298
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.079
I mean, this has been ten years, so nobody was

299
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:58.240
clued in for quite a while, which is the shocking part.

300
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:01.240
In your absolutely right, I think a lot of it

301
00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:04.680
played into it. But you know, this stuff is elaborate.

302
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:07.799
It's not as easy as saying, Okay, here's a proof

303
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.920
of a police report of this guy being involved. He

304
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:14.559
was a witness to an armed robbery, let's say, and

305
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:16.759
here's the police report. So we need him to stay

306
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:19.920
in town because he could be a witness. We don't

307
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.599
need him to be deported at this point or made

308
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.839
to leave the country. Well, the issue is there's a

309
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.920
lot of paperwork behind that. People check that or supposed

310
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:33.440
to be it's verified. There's a lot of things going

311
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:36.480
on there. And so the shocking thing is you could

312
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.240
see in New Orleans something like this kind of sliding

313
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:42.799
through because there's so many people in New Orleans, there's

314
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:47.039
so much opportunity. But literally, like one of these towns

315
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:50.720
is like a thousand people total, and you've got one

316
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:54.240
hundred immigrants involved in bank robberies. How they didn't catch

317
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:55.920
at this soon. I'm not blaming anybody.

318
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:56.119
I know.

319
00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:58.000
This is a big country and you got you know,

320
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:01.559
you have a lack of people to check things like this.

321
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:05.400
But and it wasn't right before yeah, and before people

322
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:07.079
start going, oh, well maybe this was like a do

323
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:09.640
good thing, which I'm not saying it was. But you know,

324
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:12.079
these poor immigrants they didn't want to no, no, no, no, no.

325
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:15.519
They were profiting by this scheme. They were being paid

326
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:20.119
the thousand dollars each. Yes, and so now we've got

327
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:25.839
this corruption that's disgusting. You know these people people always

328
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:27.240
say they should be held to a higher standard. No,

329
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:29.359
how about hold them to the damn standard. Let's just

330
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:30.400
hold them to the standard.

331
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:31.799
And they have they have.

332
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.599
This is sick, it's wrong. And then it makes you wonder,

333
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:37.720
as with so many other cases where cops gone bad,

334
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.480
you know what other things have they done that are corrupt?

335
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:42.519
Are there people behind bars right now that took the

336
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.720
fall for something they didn't do? It does make you wonder,

337
00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:47.920
It makes your brain start to wonder if you can

338
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:50.559
be paid off that easily? Wow?

339
00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:54.160
Yeah, And in the in the biggest picture issue for me,

340
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:58.480
as look, no one hates this more than good cops.

341
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:02.440
No one hates more than good police chiefs, good shriff

342
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.319
So you know why, because now they're gonna get scrutinized

343
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:11.279
harder because of stupidity of these two police chiefs. All

344
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:14.240
the police chiefs are gonna be scrutinized harder. It's gonna

345
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:19.000
be harder for legitimate immigrants that this U VISA program

346
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:23.200
was made for. If they do witness a crime, it's

347
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:24.960
gonna be hard for a police chief to even want

348
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.079
to process that because I don't want people to think

349
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:33.319
that I've I'm doing what this jackass and in uh

350
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:38.039
forest Wood, Louisiana, did I don't want my people thinking this.

351
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:42.200
It creates issues throughout the entire law enforcement community.

352
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:45.559
The job's hard enough as it is, and everyone's screaming

353
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:47.799
all these times. They're saying that the police have done

354
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:50.079
something wrong when they haven't, and then this does this happens,

355
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:51.880
They're like, see, see, and they just use it to

356
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:53.720
add fuel to the fire. Well, let's go to Kentucky.

357
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.359
Two women were shot and killed at Kentucky church after

358
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:58.799
a suspect who shot and wounded a state trooper fled

359
00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:01.680
there this past Sunday. The two people were killed and

360
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:05.200
were identified by officials as Beverly gam seventy two and

361
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:08.960
Christina Comb's thirty four, and they were a mother and daughter.

362
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.799
The suspect was also killed. The suspect was later identified

363
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:15.240
by the coroner as forty seven year old Guy House,

364
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:19.000
who died from a gunshot wound at the church. Two others,

365
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.599
both men, were wounded by the gunman, Weather said. Police

366
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:25.799
said Monday that both men were in critical condition and

367
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.160
the state trooper was in stable condition. Family members of

368
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:31.039
the victims said that House showed up at the church

369
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:33.880
looking for one of GM's daughters, who is the mother

370
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:36.720
of his three children. When they said that she wasn't there,

371
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.640
he responded, quote, I guess someone's going to have to die.

372
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:40.359
Quote.

373
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:43.880
The family members, who are Gum's daughters, said House shot

374
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:46.960
and killed their mother and also shot their father, James,

375
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:49.839
who is the pastor of the Richmond Road Baptist Church.

376
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:52.519
The other victims, they said, were another one of their

377
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:55.759
sisters who was killed and her husband who was wounded.

378
00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:59.240
The family said that House allegedly suffered from severe mental

379
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:02.839
health issues, had an ongoing drug problem with methamphetamines, and

380
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:05.559
was under the influence when he shot their relatives. The

381
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:08.200
police chiefs said the shooting began after the trooper pulled

382
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:12.359
him over near the Bluegrass Airport in Lexington. After shooting

383
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:15.680
the trooper before noon on Sunday, the suspect carjacked another

384
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.920
vehicle and ended up at the Richmond Road Baptist Church

385
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.720
in southwest Lexington. No injuries were reported during the carjacking.

386
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:26.200
The shooting spree ended when Lexington police shot and killed

387
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:26.960
the suspect.

388
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:31.119
Horrible shoot at an injure, severely injured a state trooper

389
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:33.880
where it occurred at a church, horrific. Most of the

390
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:35.759
people going there, I would say all of the people

391
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:38.359
probably going to that church. Nobody wanted to see that

392
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:41.160
that day. It doesn't really say there had to be

393
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:41.759
some kind of.

394
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:44.640
Issue there with well, it says too he obviously went

395
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.319
there to kill somebody. Because he said somebody, he.

396
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:52.279
Doesn't specify where they estranged, and you know, everybody could

397
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:55.720
see this coming. It doesn't really specify if this was

398
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:58.200
just a totally out of character thing. But with them

399
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:02.640
accusing him of being mentally ill and obvious, thank you,

400
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:05.160
Captain Obvious for that. You've got to be pretty crazy

401
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:06.519
to do what he just pulled off.

402
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:08.920
He wasn't too crazy to get the gun, load the bullets,

403
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.359
shoot the cop, make it to the church, and try

404
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:12.039
to kill everybody.

405
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:17.400
So yeah, and so just a horrible situation unfolding in Kentucky.

406
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.759
And hopefully some information come on as to what's burred this.

407
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.480
Yeah, I'm sure there'll be some background information. But for

408
00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:27.079
that family, I would like to say, you know, absolute

409
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:29.960
prayers and thoughts, and I hope that the survivors that

410
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:32.480
are hanging in there make a full recovery and they

411
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:34.640
can get some sort of answers.

412
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:38.920
Okay, let's go to Indiana, and a communication through snapchat

413
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:43.880
has triggered an FBI investigation into an Indianapolis mother of

414
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:47.880
seven for an alleged sex trafficking attempt of her seven

415
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.839
month old daughter that ultimately led to her arrest. Now.

416
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:57.319
When first confronted by agents, this was in November eleventh

417
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:01.200
of twenty twenty four, Morgan Staff, who was thirty two,

418
00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:05.160
told them that her Snapchat had recently been hacked and

419
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.519
she no longer had access to it. She also said

420
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:10.599
she was upset at the loss of the photos of

421
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:15.599
her seven children. To these agents confront her about obvious

422
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:19.079
allegations and she says, oh, my account's been hacked. The

423
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:22.039
woman then told them she received an email from the

424
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:25.400
social media platform that told her her account had been

425
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:30.599
permanently banned for suspected online commercial sex transactions. Huh, I

426
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:34.119
wonder why. Later in the month, she allegedly admitted to

427
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:37.799
the Indiana Department of Child Services that she had lied

428
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.640
to federal agents about losing her Snapchat account because quote

429
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:47.559
I wanted the FBI to leave. After that unproductive initial

430
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:50.359
interview with Staff, the FBI then reached out to the

431
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:54.960
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department for assistance in this case, and

432
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.839
the detective was able to acquire a search warrant to

433
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:04.079
investigate STAPs snap chet account. Subsequently, guess what selfies were

434
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.240
found of her that had been saved to the account

435
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:12.039
after her FBI interview that suggested she still had access

436
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:16.000
to that Snapchat account, so she was lying. Further digging

437
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:19.720
found that the account had sent over seven thousand messages

438
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:22.640
over a three day span. How do you do that?

439
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:28.839
Even in November, shortly before Snapchat reached out to the FBI,

440
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:33.759
the government agency launched its investigation. Now, one message was

441
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:38.240
repeated eighty one times in that barrage get this quote?

442
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:41.359
Would you be interested in buying my needs so I

443
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.720
can get my babies diapers? STAPs account was also reportedly

444
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:50.559
added four hundred other accounts during that same three day span.

445
00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:54.400
The investigation showed that all of the messages had been

446
00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:57.160
sent from an area near stabs home, and all of

447
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:01.000
them had been sent after she claimed she lost access

448
00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:05.519
to that Snapchat account. The specific message that triggered Snapchat

449
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:10.279
to alert the FEDS reportedly included three photos of Stapp's

450
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:16.599
infant daughter. Along with them was the message you can

451
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:19.119
and I'm not gonna say the word, but it's the

452
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:25.160
F word. Her for four hundred dollars half now, the

453
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:29.400
rest later, I'll send my address. I do live alone,

454
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:32.319
and her dad is not in the picture. That was

455
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:36.160
arrested now facing a Level two felony charge of attempted

456
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:39.480
sex trafficking, booked into the Marion County Jail and being

457
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:41.240
held on a two hundred thousand dollars bond.

458
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:46.799
kJ go to say what she said. First, you know,

459
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:48.839
y'all know you know by now that I that I

460
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:51.880
have a I wish I could have her, give me,

461
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:54.759
give me that child, and I will protect her with

462
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:56.839
everything and me. And I've never seen her, I don't

463
00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:59.319
know her. And this woman gave birth to that child.

464
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:02.279
And to say her daddy is out of the picture,

465
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:05.960
which is all she's saying is she's defenseless. She's defenseless,

466
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:06.839
she's defensive.

467
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:08.359
You ain't got to worry about him coming about.

468
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:11.480
There's nobody here that will stand up to you. And

469
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:15.119
you can have free reign with my baby. I hope

470
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.519
all seven of her children are removed from her custody,

471
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:24.039
and I hope that she never ever ever gets them back.

472
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:25.920
It's discussed, and.

473
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:27.960
I hope that those other children who I'm assuming have

474
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:30.880
to be older just by process of elimination. Here are

475
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:34.720
vetted very carefully for what maybe they they have been

476
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:35.599
through my.

477
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:39.160
Ams, you are you don't deserve to be walking around

478
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:40.759
with oxygen in your lungs.

479
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:44.400
No, and don't ever call her mother. She's not a mother.

480
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:48.039
There's nothing motherly about that, you know. I just I

481
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:50.599
remember one time, Jim kind of off the on topic.

482
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:53.079
But I pulled up at a bank one time and

483
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:55.160
not a very small load of the ground car, and

484
00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:57.720
I'll make it short, but I looked up and I

485
00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:59.559
saw these little fingers come over the top of my

486
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:01.400
hood while I was in the drive through, and I

487
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:04.519
ended up finding a baby in a diaper in front of.

488
00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:07.920
My vehicle, just by themselves. Yes, oh my god. Yes.

489
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:10.759
And so I got out of my car. Everybody was

490
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:12.680
stunned what was going on. I picked him up. He

491
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:15.480
was in his little diaper, and I'm looking around. There's

492
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.359
no parent around, And so the bank teller was like,

493
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.519
bring him inside, bring him inside, and everything maternal in

494
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:24.960
me said, no, I'm not going to do that. And

495
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:28.400
I held that baby, called the police and I would

496
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:31.920
not even let him go to anybody because the maternal

497
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:34.039
instinct was so strong to protect him because I felt

498
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:36.440
like he had nobody and he didn't. And I know

499
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:39.119
it's very bizarre, but the mother ended up being in Walmart,

500
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:41.440
which was next door to that bank.

501
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:43.720
Well, how did the baby get away from month?

502
00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:46.960
Great question? That baby had enough time to walk out

503
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.680
of that Walmart and toddle over. The people of that

504
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:52.119
area ought to pay attention and follow through with this one.

505
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:54.680
Yeah, that would be in that rage, that would be

506
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:57.599
in this situation. And it's one of the worst, honestly,

507
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:02.119
one of the worst messages I've ever seen. I've done

508
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:05.599
this a little while, I've never seen something that bad

509
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:09.960
when it comes to child exploitation. Yeah, disgusting.

510
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:12.279
Well it makes me mad me too, it makes me mad.

511
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:14.400
And I know I'm gonna just say I hope that

512
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:16.960
baby's in custody with someone who's loving and karen for her,

513
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:19.400
and that you know, she'll be.

514
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:24.400
Taken care of, you know, And just to put a

515
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:28.799
put a period on this story. There are other options

516
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:32.400
out there for people that can't handle kids, or don't

517
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.680
want kids, or any of those sorts of things. Now

518
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:39.359
they have these these you can drop the baby off

519
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:42.759
and it's like a I don't know if you.

520
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:46.119
I know it's the station type things.

521
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:49.839
Yeah, they have those. They have those in Hammond, even Louisiana.

522
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.680
I don't know if they have one in Livingston Parish.

523
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:57.960
But you don't even have to like explain, explain nothing.

524
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:00.720
You put the baby in there, you push through, and

525
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:06.200
it's it's almost like a bank deposit deal. On the

526
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.920
other side. The baby comes and there's someone there, and

527
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:11.920
it is to avoid people just dropping their babies off

528
00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:14.039
in the middle of nowhere that they can't take care of.

529
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.799
So, yeah, this was this that's wonderful too, But this

530
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:18.319
wasn't that.

531
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:21.759
No, that wasn't now. I was more responding to your

532
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:25.400
bank situation. Yeah, initially I thought maybe she just liked

533
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:25.799
the baby.

534
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:27.599
Guse I saw a thing too, just to that point,

535
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.599
knowledge is power. But I wondered, like in cold states

536
00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:35.279
that have those boxes where you can turn over your baby,

537
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:37.680
like what happens if nobody's there? But I researched itickats,

538
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.960
I'm a dork, and it said that they have alerts

539
00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:44.319
on them, and so an alert goes off, it tells

540
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:47.319
somebody and whoever is if there's nobody actually in the

541
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:48.880
building at that time, it gives an alert and they

542
00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:50.880
have so many minutes to get there and recover the baby.

543
00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:52.440
But I think it had a warmer in it too,

544
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:55.039
so like it the baby wouldn't be freezing. If it

545
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:57.799
was snowing or something, it wouldn't be freezing. And because

546
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:01.160
a woman had dropped off her child and she had twins,

547
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:04.160
actually she dropped off twin babies, and she had packed

548
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:06.759
the diaper bag everything that the kids would need, and

549
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:08.639
she put the diaper bag in there, and it caused

550
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:11.679
this fiasco because the babies were too old. They were

551
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:13.719
past what the standard time frame was.

552
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:14.960
They were like sixteen.

553
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:19.880
No, yeah, yeah, they've had a lot of here. Here

554
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:24.960
you go take them. These things got these things don't listen.

555
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:28.599
So let's go to California. A human skin teddy bear

556
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:31.760
that was discovered outside a convenience store in California over

557
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:34.760
the weekend was likely placed there as a prank, despite

558
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:38.960
police launching an investigation. On Sunday, July thirteenth, the San

559
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:43.599
Bernardino County Sheriff's Department responded to reports of possible human

560
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:47.000
remains outside an AMPM store at a gas station. A

561
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:50.840
coroner investigator took possession of the object. Authorities had cordoned

562
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:53.679
off the parking lot while the coroner investigator looked at

563
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:56.519
the bear, which had been left just outside the store's entrance.

564
00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:59.840
Despite the ongoing investigation, the bear is actually made out

565
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:03.280
of and is currently being sold online, described as a

566
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:06.239
human skin teddy bear for one hundred and sixty five dollars.

567
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:08.400
Kind of weird to me that you would throw away

568
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:10.639
a one hundred and sixty five dollars teddy bear unless

569
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:14.599
you were trying to stir something up. That's kind of

570
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:18.119
an expensive bear. South Carolina artist Robert Kelly of Dark

571
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:21.119
Seed Creations is now taking credit for the work, confirming

572
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:22.719
that he had shipped one of the bears to a

573
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:26.360
customer there last week. Kelly said he'd started getting tons

574
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:28.480
of messages and calls from people telling us about the

575
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.880
incident after the reports made headlines. Our work is pretty

576
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:35.360
easily recognizable, and people were sending the articles left and right.

577
00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:37.360
I looked, and sure enough, it was the bear I

578
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.480
sent out last week. Kelly continued that every artist wants

579
00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:42.679
credit for their work, So I said I made that,

580
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.039
and I haven't been able to catch up with messages since.

581
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:48.360
Kelly added, I guess I'd probably be lying if I said,

582
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:51.159
I wasn't enjoying it a little bit. I'm an independent artist,

583
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:54.280
so a little attention is sometimes good, regardless of not

584
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:57.400
being able to condone or whatever. I don't know if

585
00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:59.440
the guy broke any laws or if it was just

586
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:01.679
a prank, but it looks like he definitely got some

587
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:05.400
people riled up. The artist, who specializes in horror, horror

588
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:09.480
special effects and haunted attractions set The artist posted a

589
00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:11.920
video of the Bears in question on Facebook on Sunday,

590
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.519
writing that his work has been quote used in a prank. No,

591
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:18.079
I do not have any knowledge of the buyer's intentions,

592
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:20.559
nor was I involved in a prank on the other

593
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:23.480
side of the nation from me, the artist wrote, adding

594
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:26.639
that anybody can still order one of the bears online.

595
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:28.840
One of the things that we're known for is that

596
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:30.800
we make a lot of these props that are fake

597
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:34.320
human skin, Kelly said, So those are all made out

598
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:36.920
of latex, they are created from a mold, and our

599
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:39.960
stuff is pretty recognizable in the industry. So once this

600
00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:42.559
happened a few hours ago, my phone started blowing up

601
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.840
and my Facebook started blowing up. You must be pretty

602
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:48.320
good at what you do if people are buying it

603
00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:50.719
and then it's used in the industry and well recognized.

604
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:53.800
And I have seen pictures of it. You can google

605
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:57.079
and see pictures. We'll put some on the Facebook page. Actually,

606
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:03.199
But it was funny, y'all because Kelly originally messaged me

607
00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:07.000
when we didn't know it was fake yet. So she

608
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.480
messaged me and she's like, with the link to an

609
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:14.960
article referencing this before it came out that it was fake,

610
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:16.400
and she was like, oh my gosh, we got to

611
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:19.800
talk about this, and it was like the next day

612
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.719
it had went viral and the next day, come to

613
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:25.320
find out it was fake, but it sure looked real. Yeah,

614
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:28.360
and so we'll put some pictures on the page. But

615
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:30.920
I don't think this guy did anything wrong. I mean,

616
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.559
he sold it on eBay, someone bought it and decided

617
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:38.480
to pull up joke. It was a prank. Look. We

618
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:42.880
covered a story a few years back where it was

619
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:47.639
a like a mannequin that somebody had put in the

620
00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:50.199
woods and it looked like a dead body. And I

621
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:53.039
know that's not funny, but I mean they did it

622
00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:56.079
intentionally as a prank to prank people driving down from

623
00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:58.559
the interstate, and it looked just like a dead body

624
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:01.920
so much showed that the police were called and they

625
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:04.920
show up and they're like guns drawing and everything, thinking

626
00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:08.440
there's a dead person back here, and you know, then

627
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:11.559
they're like, wait a minute, that's a mannequin. So it happens.

628
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.239
It's where I get aggravated. Is you waste police time

629
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:18.199
when you do something like the second example. This first

630
00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:20.920
example is is just on I just know this.

631
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:22.719
I spent one hundred and sixty five dollars on a

632
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.639
damn teddy Bear. Better not end up outside a convenience store.

633
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:30.119
One hundred percent. We're going a long way away from

634
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:33.320
here where we go Pakistan. Good God, I told you

635
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:34.719
this is global.

636
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:35.840
We're going around the world.

637
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:39.400
This show is global. We don't play around, and we're

638
00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:42.440
going to tell you. Look, I hear all the time

639
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:47.679
that people who don't travel outside of the United States

640
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:50.440
don't really know what it's like in other countries. Want

641
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:53.320
give you. I'm going to give you an example of

642
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:54.800
that that's absolutely horrific.

643
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:55.679
Uh.

644
00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:00.679
Pakistan police allege a father shot and killed his sixteen

645
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:05.199
year old daughter on Tuesday, July eighth, after she refused

646
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:09.559
to delete her TikTok account. According to a police report,

647
00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:14.440
and this is the part that is absolutely insane. According

648
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:17.079
to a police report, investigator said the father killed his

649
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:20.920
daughter for honor and he was arrested soon after. The

650
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:25.039
girl's father had asked her to delete her TikTok. On refusal,

651
00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:29.199
he killed her. The sixteen year old's family initially tried

652
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:32.320
to portray the murder as a suicide. One thousand women

653
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:36.159
a year are killed murdered in Pakistan due to what

654
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:40.079
is known as honor killings. So this typically happens when

655
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:45.159
a woman's behavior seems to have violated traditional expectations and

656
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:50.639
they face extreme punishment from their family members. On January thirtieth,

657
00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:52.599
as a matter of fact, of this year, a teenager

658
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:54.920
was shot and killed by her family in an honor

659
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:58.440
killing because of their view on her online presence on

660
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:03.800
social media and so it said. Fourteen year old hira

661
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:06.719
am War was living in New York City at the time,

662
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.719
posting videos on TikTok like all these all these kids do.

663
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:14.559
She was living in a different world than her family.

664
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:18.000
She went to visit her family in Pakistan on a

665
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:22.119
family vacation. Several days after arriving, she was shot by

666
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:26.400
her father and uncle, who said they were performing in

667
00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:31.000
honor killing because of the inappropriate videos that she brought

668
00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:35.960
shame into the family. Pakistan society often operates under a

669
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:38.920
strict code of honor. Women are often told by their

670
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:43.199
male relatives what choices they can make around education, employment,

671
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:47.039
and even who they can marry. So that still goes on, y'all.

672
00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:50.519
Yeah, And so there was actually another case, I mean

673
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:52.880
from the I think the eighties or early nineties, where

674
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:55.440
there was a family of some type of Middle Eastern

675
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:58.119
descent and they were living here though in the US.

676
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:00.559
The little girl, the teenager was started dating a boy

677
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:03.840
from her high school and the dad did not approve,

678
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:05.639
nor did the mom of who she was dating, and

679
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:08.920
so they killed her with their hands in the house.

680
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:12.599
But the FBI was investigating them as possible terrorists, and

681
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:15.239
so they caught it on audio, the whole killing, but

682
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:18.320
they tried to put that off as a uh that

683
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:21.480
the girl had attacked them and they defended themselves. So

684
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.039
you know, I say that I'm not well traveled, but

685
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:27.320
I do understand culture, and I have studied, you know,

686
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:29.880
you learn about different cultures in different areas.

687
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:30.360
You know.

688
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:33.239
Here if if if a young girl is doing something,

689
00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:35.719
I'm assuming this is a sexualized type. They felt like

690
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:36.039
she was.

691
00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:39.559
Being overlydar of your skin.

692
00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:43.440
You're sexualized, right, and so you know here we're like

693
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.199
put on a shirt, don't put pictures of yourself in

694
00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:48.519
swimsuit or you know that are in that. But we

695
00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:51.400
don't kill each other because we love our children.

696
00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:52.559
And I did.

697
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:55.760
There's a complete disconnect here. I cannot understand that you

698
00:41:55.800 --> 00:41:58.280
would want to off your child over your own honor,

699
00:41:58.440 --> 00:41:59.480
like off of your own.

700
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:02.360
Like what you know.

701
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:05.840
And I just can't understand that. And I'm glad it's not.

702
00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:08.920
What we do here. Yeah. And the shocking thing is

703
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:12.199
this still occurs, sounding like something out of the stun age, right.

704
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:16.679
This is this people don't realize once you travel out

705
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:19.280
of how great this country is, how much freedom you

706
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:21.880
actually have. I know some people think they get no

707
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.639
freedom here. Anymore freedom is gone. Let me tell you

708
00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:27.400
something good. To Pakistan for a day. Go to Pakistan

709
00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:28.360
for a day. Yeah.

710
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:32.360
I have a friend whose friend went there, and she's

711
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:34.480
very tall, but she did the garb, she wore all

712
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:36.519
the stuff she's supposed to wear, but a sliver of

713
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:39.800
her ankle was showing because of her height. And a

714
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:42.280
man on the street. A complete stranger on the street

715
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.559
had like a stick or a walking cane and whacked

716
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:47.599
her in the ankles as hard as he could for

717
00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:50.519
her inappropriate showing of her ankle.

718
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:54.559
Dang, you didn't beat that out, you would have died.

719
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:55.920
Because I would have turn around, been like bitch and

720
00:42:56.000 --> 00:43:00.559
start I know you want to talk shit you I mean,

721
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:05.239
Boosy in Pakistan would have came out. That's insane, you know.

722
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:06.719
Yeah, that really is.

723
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:10.519
