0:16 Welcome back, folks. It's been one of those wild weeks in the world of crime news. Look at some of the topics we're going to be covering today. Justin Timberlakes, dui arrest in twenty twenty four is back at the top of the headlines due to bodycam footage from his arrest being released. Will break that down. In Arkansas, Joseph and Kendrad Duggar of the TLC reality show Nineteen Kids Accounting have been arrested in a child sex abuse and endangerment case. In Louisiana, two prominent New Orleans attorneys are convicted in a massive wreck fraud scheme targeting eighteen wheelers.

1:00 Woman in Kentucky gets evicted and then gets payback by setting the entire apartment complex on fire. Makes sense, Yeah. In Texas, the prime suspect in the Texas Killing Fields murders dies at seventy two years old. We got all this plus much more today kJ Before we start, we want to remind everyone that a commercial free expanded edition of this show is available on both the Exposed and Unspeakable feeds, whichever you choose. On patreons. Yes they are and people are enjoying that because they get the more, you know, more stories. Well they get to see kJ oh, Dear God in all.

1:40 Our glory, my sweatpant glory. Yeah, and it's commercial free, so you know, all the good stuff there. But let's get into what has been going on in the world of crime. And we're going to start off in sag Harbor, New York, and we're going to talk about a pretty famous singer by the name of Justin Timberlake. Bye bye. That was my teenage dream, went to many a concert. Well, he has really embarrassed himself, I guess. Some police bodycam footage showing the pop superstar Justin Timberlake during his drunken driving arrest in the Hamptons nearly two years ago, was released this past Friday. It gave the public its first unfiltered look at a roadside stop that led to criminal charges. Now. The roughly eight hour video, of course, released in a redacted form by the sag Harbor Police Department on March twentieth, twenty twenty six, captures Timberlake, then forty three, struggling through standard field sobriety tests after officers pulled him over late in the night on June eighteenth, of twenty twenty four, he had allegedly run a stop sign and veered out of his lane while driving a BMW away from the American Hotel in Sag Harbor. In the footage, Timberlake appears cooperative but nervous. He tells officers, quote, I'm a little nervous while attempting to walk a straight line and stand on one leg. I bet he was.

3:06 At one point, he blurts out quote these are really hard tests and adds my heart's racing. He informs the officers he had quote one Martini, which means way more. Yeah, Eva Vader was the strongest Martini ever known of the man. If you watch that video. Martini hold the olive juice right. He also mentions that he was on tour in for Memphis. A female friend who was with him at the time has seen reacting with shock as officers placed Timberlake under arrest for driving while intoxicated. Now, what is absolutely hilarious to me was at one point in which the officer realizes that it's justin Timberlake he had just pulled over.

3:47 You got to keep in mind it's dark, y'all, it's the middle of the night, and the officer did not immediately realize who he had pulled over. I want you to listen to this quick clip and the officer's reaction when Timber like identify as himself. So the reason why it stops because you're keep veering off to the left and then you're not. Stopping at the stop signs? Sorry about that? Is this your vehicle? Whose vehicle is it? Yeah? I just saw rental. It's a rental. Okay, do you have any registration with it? Do you know if they can put in the glovebox? You need check? How long you rented it for? Just for a couple of days?

4:30 What are you visiting? Yeah, I'm on tour. What are you doing? I'm on a world tour? What a world tour doing? What? Oh? Hard to explain? M h a world tour. I'm justin to Blake. What's listening Boston, timber Lake? You are justin Timberluke. Yeah, you have a license with me? Well boom, now, y'all I don't care who you are. That is hilarious. The dude is like, give me your license after he says he's justin Timberlake. Ohd justin didn't realize this dude was a Backstreet Boys fan. I guess kJ the rivalry is real, right, So the singer at times jokes with officers a video goes on, Yo, you guys are wild, he says in one exchange each change, and then later he's at the police station during booking, and he kind of goes back and forth between pissed off and apologizing. So Timberlake fought very hard to keep this footage private. In March of twenty twenty six, he filed a lawsuit against the village of sack Arbor. How's that I get a dui and I'm gonna file a last suit against you for showing it.

5:50 He argued the video captured him in an acutely vulnerable state and would cause severe and irreputable harm to his reputation. Well you should have thought of that, for you go the wheel. Everybody's reputation right right. His legal team did reach a settlement with authorities that allowed a redacted version of the video to be released. I'd love to see the whole version, the parts he didn't want in there. The case was resolved months earlier. In September of twenty twenty four, Timberlake pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of driving while impaired, and as part of the deal, he had to pay five hundred dollars plus a fine surcharge. He completed twenty five hours of community service, and he had his New York driver's license suspended for ninety days. The original DWI charge was dropped. Now.

6:37 Source close to the singer told People magazine that Timberlake vied the footage as the quote best alternative and hope it would finally close the chapter on the incident so he can move forward. Yeah. Look, you're no different than anybody else. You're a human being, you're famous, and you're rich. This did nothing, but this was a blip on his radar. It didn't make him go broke, and you know, he just moves on with his life. If you or I get put in this position, we are going to be financially hit. You know what I'm saying. It's going to cost a lot of money for us as a So I guess I'm just kind of disappointed because I did watch the video and it's like, dude. You're drunk. You know you're drunk. I know you're drunk, and so you.

7:18 Wouldn't tell him I'm Kelly Jennings from Unspeakable. No. No, I would say, oh my god, I saw you in concert when I was seventeen and you put your hand up to the glass on your tour bus and oh shit. No, I'd be like, oh God, now everyone's going to know I'm I'm I'm a party girl. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. I mean, just come on, dude, own up to it. I screwed up. Make a public service announcement of guys. It's this easy. You know, you make people make mistakes. I was wrong. Don't do like me, do better? And you know you could turn this into a learning lesson instead of a lawsuit. I agree. And I mean, you know, Martini se at you hard man, and you may just to have one more team.

8:01 His eyes are rid of. You know, unless he maybe he smokes on I don't know, but I'm guessing I don't know that allegedly for entertainment purposes only, but I know this, You know we I have a close friend whose daughter was killed by a drunk driver years back, and so it's not something that should be taken lightly. You should be held accountable because just because nothing happened doesn't mean it couldn't have. What's that? I agree? All right, let's go to Arkansas. The Dugger family, once famous for the TLC reality series Nineteen Kids in Counting, is facing new criminal charges after two members of the family were arrested this week in connection with alleged child sexual abuse and endangerment. Joseph Garrett Dugger, thirty one, was arrested Wednesday by the I think this is Taunted Town.

8:48 Have you ever heard of that before? Tonted Town Police Department on a warrant from Florida authorities. He faces felony charges of loot and lascivious behavior involving unlawful sexual activity with a minor under twelve years old. According to the Bay County Sheriff's Office. The allegations involve a now fourteen year old girl who says Dugger molested her in twenty twenty when she was nine years old during a family vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida. The victim reported that Dougger asked her to sit on his lap and then on a couch. He put both of them underneath a blanket, where he allegedly manipulated her underwear and touched her genitals while rubbing her thighs. Dougger waived extradition Friday.

9:29 And remains held without bond in the Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas, pending transfer to Florida. Bay County. Authorities have thirty days to retrieve him. Just days later, on Friday, the police department arrested Douggler's wife, Kendra Duggar, twenty seven years old. Both Kendra and Joseph now face identical misdemeanor charges in Arkansas, four counts each of endangering the welfare of a minor second degree and false imprisonment second degree. Kendra was booked around four fifty six pm local time and released roughly an hour later after posting a oney four hundred and seventy dollars mont. The couple, who married in twenty seventeen and share four young children, has not issued a public statement. Police have released limited details on the Arkansas charges, which appear connected to the same investigation. This marks the second Dougger son to face serious related child related criminal allegations. Joseph's older brother, Josh Dougger, is serving a one hundred and fifty one month federal prison sentence. After his twenty twenty two conviction on charges of receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material.

10:31 The family spent off series Counting On was canceled. Following those revelations and earlier twenty fifteen reports that Josh had molested several of his younger sisters when he was a teenager. Family reactions have been swift. Sister Jill Duggar Dillard said that she is heartbroken and stands with the victims, emphasizing that no one is above the law. Cousin Amy doug Or King told Entertainment Tonight she is sickened but not surprised, blaming what she calls a toxic family cycle through his at Turner. Incarcerated brother Josh Dugger said the allegations against Jeff against Joseph deeply saddened him, and that he understands the painful reality of how false accusations can destroy a life.

11:12 Puke, Like, give me a break on that one, dude, anyway. Sorry. The arrests have renewed scrutiny of the conservative Christian family, who built a public brand around large family values and faith. Jim, Bob and Michelle Dugger have not commented publicly. On the latest developments, and the investigations remain active in both Arkansas and. Florida, And obviously, if those allegations are true, that's disgusting and terrible. I am not I was familiar with the show, but I've never actually watched it. Is that something you would have suspected out of those two? I mean, I know you've watched it severally. Yeah, I mean at the time, no, like back in the you know, back in the gap when it was big watching it they were teenagers, you know, you wouldn't.

11:55 Think, oh, they were that. Yeah, I mean they were I mean older teenagers, but you kind of watched them grow up, I guess. Yeah. But this is the deal, okay, the strong faith values and all this kind of stuff. They put a very very very large emphasis on sexual purity. It's like a big deal, you know, like at the forefront of everything that they do. Like whenever they start courting, they don't call it dating. When they start courting, a younger sibling has to go on the date with the older sibling so as to make sure nothing happened, you know what I'm saying, Like, you're not going to do anything with your sibling there, and it seems to me that when you are that caught up in sexual purity, which I'm not saying is a bad thing, like sexual purity, but and you're really really heavy on how young girls are pure and untouched and all of that. It almost got to the point that it was like a lot to focus on that. I'm not saying it's not important, but for that to be like Central TV that we're talking.

12:52 About the whole time. So I'm wondering if they are, like Jill said, the daughter that was molested by the older brother that he is serving time. I'm wondering if it's almost cultivating that environment of. I don't know what. I don't want to say curiosity because that sounds gross to me, but you know what I'm trying to say, like you're cultivating something like when you're when you tell a kid growing up, don't do drugs, don't do drugs, don't drug, don't drink, don't drink, don't drink. What a kids want to do? Drink, drink, do drugs? Try it out? Why not? Why would you tell me no, Let me live my life, blah blah blah. And I'm not saying. Sexual abuse equates and in no way am I saying that, But the point being that when they are so heavy on purity and how young girls have never been touched and you know, all this kind of stuff.

13:38 I don't know, if you have a it's like they're cultivating this weird sexual predisposition to this. I don't know, what are chances of two of your kids getting arrested for the same thing. Yeah, yeah, so they weren't married, they were guzzed. Know these two are married married, Yeah, And I think probably I don't know this. This is an assumption just us discussing it, but I'm assuming she in some way. When it says the kidnapping charge there, I'm wondering if there's got to be something at some point. It's a misdemeanor, it's not a felony. So it sounds to me like they had custody of this child maybe that was abused, and did not let her like leave the room maybe or something for that period.

14:21 I don't know. I don't know. It's a rough one without any foundational documents, but either way, they keep doing this crap of stand by your man, and you know, like the one that's Josh Douger that's in prison has been there, his wife is still visiting him, is still and that evidence is ironclad. They pulled if you don't know they they pulled hard drives from his work computer at the I believe it was a car dealership that his dad owned or something like that. I mean they pulled the documents off of there. It's when he says he's falsely accused. You make me want to vomit. No, you weren't. Sorry, There you have it. Let's go to Columbus, Nebraska, and I'm gonna tell you about a twenty six year old Nebraska man who has pleaded guilty to second degree murder after luring his stepfather to a Walmart parking lot by pretending he needed help finding a vehicle part and then fatally shooting him at close range with bullets to the chest and head. Manuel Cabrera entered the guilty plea this month. This was in Platte County District Court. He's convicted or he pleaded guilty, so I guess yeah. He's convicted of killing a forty two year old man by the name of David Hernandez. According to court records and police messa, Cabrera asked his stepfather to accompany him to the Walmart supercenter. He claimed he needed assistance locating an auto part. After the two men parked, Cabrera pulled out a nine millimeter Smith and Wesson handgun, which he had

15:53 legally purchased just a couple of weeks earlier, and shot Hernandez once in the chest and once in the head. Columbus police responded to the scene around six twenty pm after reports of a shooting. Officers found Hernandez lying on the ground suffering from a gunshot wound. They rendered aid until medics arrived and transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Cabrera turned himself into authorities shortly after that shooting and confessed he told investigators he knew he would be arrested. Police recovered the handgun from the glove compartment of this vehicle, and an affidavit revealed that Cabrera had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but was not taking medication or receiving treatment at the time. He admitted to having homicidal ideal idea idiations yeah so that three times fast for a year or two, and said he decided in the days leading up to the crime he would kill a stepfather. He was initially charged with first degree murder in use of a firearm to commit a felony, and he didn't say much at the earlier arraignment, leading the court to enter a not guilty plea on his back half. Now, as part of the plea deal, the chargers were reduced and he pleaded guilty his second degree murder and the weapons charge. The captain at the time, Doug Mulitski, said, upon arrival, officers located a male victim lying on the ground with a gunshot wanting to the chest.

17:17 They immediately rendered aid until the fire department medics arrived on scene and Cabrera is scheduled to be sentenced in April. But tragic story and shocking that this man's father in law shows up to help him. Stepdad, right, No, I thought it was his father in law, was it not. I don't know. We can just go with I thought they said it was his stepdad. Okay, stepfather is correct? Actually either way. I mean, you know, he calls this guy to go help him out, and he shows up and he shoots and kills him, and there's no real mention of a motive. Yeah, for that, I don't know, if they had an earlier agreement or what.

18:01 You know, I wouldn't doubt it if they didn't, because schizophrenia is a very scary thing to manage, especially when someone is not on their medication. And I feel for that step father. You know, he shows up to go help and he there's no way he didn't know of the mental issues that are going on with this guy. And you know, schizophrenics will hear voices that are telling them to do things. That's probably where the homicidal ideation was coming in. And it's it's certainly a mitigating factor. It doesn't make it any less excusable. You know, we don't murder, but these cases right here are the really really tough ones because obviously there's a mom there who's lost her husband and now her.

18:42 Son, right And I know that anytime you quit taking any sort of medicine, especially one that affects your mind, that's a problem. Yeah, And it's actually also very common that people who are affected at this level of mental illness. And I'm no medical will expert, and I'm not claiming to be, but it is more common that when there's things like schizophrenia and stuff, that they will start taking the medication, they'll start feeling better, It'll quiet them down, and for some reason in their mind they go, oh, I'm better, I don't need to take the medicine anymore. And then they'll stop taking it. That's very common, and they'll quit it cold turkey rather than yea themselves off. I mean, any sort of anti depresson. I know, you have to wean yourself off very slowly or you'll go.

19:26 Great, yeah, you're and your neurotransmitters are going to go wild in your brain. So I just I don't want I'm not I'm not trying to say I have a heart for the guy that shot in, but I do have a heart for the fact that you're you're crazy. I mean, you've got a lot going on there and there's problems, but I really wish mental health was better cared for in this situation. I really do. All right, let's go to New Orleans and a federal jury on Friday convicted two well known local personal injury attorneys and their law firms and what prosecutors describe as a brazen, years long scheme to stage car crashes into tractor trailers, fabricate injury claims, and defraud insurance companies out of millions of dollars. Vanessa Mada forty four, a former Hollywood stunt woman who founded Model Law Firm, and Jason Giles, forty seven, a partner at the King Firm, were found guilty on all counts after a nearly three week trial in the US District Court. The jury deliberated for more than five hours before returning the verdicts. Mada and Giles were convicted of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, multiple counts of mail fraud, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering.

20:37 Mada faced additional counts of witness tampering. Their respective law firms, Model Law and the King Firm, were also convicted on related organizational charges. A third defendant, I think this is dominique, but it's spelled very different. But Dominaike, I don't know how you would say that. Stalbert was convicted of making false statements but acquitted on the conspiracy count. In a dramatic courtroom scene followed by the verdict, Chief US District Judge Wendy Vider ordered both attorneys taken into immediate federal custody pending sentencing, citing concerns over witness tampering. Mauda reportedly sobbed and vomited at the defense table while her mother fainted. Giles was also remanded to custody. Sentencing is scheduled for July.

21:22 Prosecutor said the scheme, which began as early as twenty eleven and continued through at least twenty twenty four, involved what they called quote unquote slammers, recruiters paid by the attorneys and their associates who packed cars with passengers and deliberately crashed them into eighteen wheelers, especially those with high insurance limits. The quote unquote victims were then funneled to Mada, Giles and the other attorneys to file inflated personal injury lawsuits and demand settlements once cooperating former attorney or excuse me. One cooperating former attorney Danny Keating, pleaded guilty earlier and testified that he alone handled seventy seven fraudulent cases and collected more than one million dollars in fees. Federal investigators dubbed the probe operation sideswipe. This was not just a few bad accidents. It was a manufactured lawsuit factory that put truck drivers their companies and ultimately everyday policyholders at risk, a prosecutor told the jury during closing arguments. Defense attorneys maintained their clients were unaware of any staging and argued the government overreached. The convictions mark one of the largest insurance fraud takedowns in recent Louisiana history. More than sixty people have already pleaded guilty in the case. Several other personal injury cases tied to the scheme remained pending in civil court, according to records. Both Mada and Giles face potential decades in federal prison. Legal ethics experts say the convictions will almost certainly result in their permanent disbarment. US Attorney's Office spokesperson Aaron Lowry said in a statement, this

22:52 verdict sends a clear message that no one, not even licensed attorneys, are above the law when they turned the justice system into. A get rich quick scam. Attorneys from Ada and Giles indicated they plan to appeal pretty. Wild story and look, man, you are taking one hell of a risk if you're gonna partake in this fraud scheme. When you pack your car down full of I guess items so that when an eighteen willer slams into you, it doesn't kill you. Well, I think they packed them full of people so that they would get multiple. Claims even wilder. Yeah, I mean, I will worry about like getting hurt. If people wonder why insurance rates are so high in the state of Louisiana, that's a good example. Man.

23:38 Those people are about as bad as it gets. To me. Yeah, this is sleezy, sleazy attorney behavior. And I would bet I'd be willing to bet that the client tell that they recruited to do this were probably more on the impoverished side and more willing to risk more if they were told, hey, you're gonna get you know, two hundred thousand dollars if you'll do this well. And to me, that's even worse because now that's predatory. If that's the case, which I'm not saying a one hundred percent is, I'm speculating, but I would I. Would bet I'm right on that one. And now your predatory behavior is affecting also all of the people uninvolved in this, that this could have caused a flipover wreck, This could have cost the lives, Yeah of people.

24:26 Could somebody could have ran into someone else. Yeah, a motorcycle going by, has no clue that there's about to be a you know, a break check or whatever. So they should go to prison and you should throw up because it's gross. It's sick what you did. One hundred percent. Let's go to Louisville, Kentucky and a sixty eight year old woman, y'all, and keep mindful of that age. Sixty eight years old. She's facing an eviction right well, she's accused of deliberately setting her apartment complex on fire in the middle of the night and then telling what and police she was going to kill everybody in the building. That According to authorities, Elizabeth Radmacher was arrested following an early morning blaze at the Stonewater Apartments in East Louisville, Kentucky. According to the police and Orson investigators, Rodmcker intentionally set that fire in her bedroom. This was around three o'clock in the morning. What sixty eight year old is awake at three o'clock in the.

25:27 Morning, the ones that are going to burn down? Yeah, she then left the innit without warning any of her neighbors and that you know, we kind of laughed at first, but that's no laughing matter, obviously, The blaze caused an estimated one hundred thousand dollars in damage. It, of course displaced several residents in the building, sent one person to the hospital for evaluations, and impressively enough, the fire crew actually contained that fire in less than twenty minutes. Excellent. Now, while standing outside watching the flames, multiple witnesses and we're spinning, officers reported hearing Rob Mocker repeatedly say quote, I'm going to kill everybody. She later claimed someone else had forced her to start that fire, but she didn't say who that was her other personality. I guess Rob Mocker was in the process of being evicted at the time, and the three counts of first degree endangerment stemmed from the danger pose to a family of three, including a child, living directly above her units, so this could have turned out really bad. One neighbor sprang into action started knocking on doors to alert residents. When they interviewed him, he said, I knock at the doors and told everyone to get out because a fire is coming. Another neighbor expressed relief that no one was killed, saying he had a kid up there, so he could have been badly burned or killed.

26:51 Rob Mocker faces charges of first degree or some first degree criminal mischief and three counts of endangerment. She was arraigned earlier this week, pleaded not guilty and remains in the Louisville Metro Corrections on a fifty thousand dollars bond. So sixty eight years old. Let's talk about this too, fire because no one was hurt. It's probably you know, people are like, oh good, nobody was hurting you kind of move on. But let's talk guys, because it's three o'clock in the morning, which is going to pose to me an added risk because everyone's asleep, and so most people don't die by flame. They die by smoke inhalation, and they don't wait, you know that maybe they don't wake up or whatever. But also a fire, if you don't know this, a small fire, any fire doubles in size every sixty seconds, so on average, So I.

27:40 Did not know that. Yeah, so interesting fact. Fun fact here from a dispatch instructor. So the fact they contained it in twenty minutes is great. But every minute a fire is going up and getting bigger. So I think everybody's very lucky here, and this could have gone so bad so quick, especially too when fire weakened structure. It can you know, the floor could have fell out between the poor kids sleeping above her. You know, roofs can collapse, things of that nature. So thank God for these neighbors. That's hero. That's everyday hero stuff right there, when you're knocking on doors and warning your neighbors. That's good stuff. Yeah. Cool. I wonder if that neighbor's name was State Farm, because like a good neighbor, State Farm was there that was not an endorsed.

28:29 Whatever. We can be cheesy, All right, let's go to Houston, and this was obviously a huge story and it's unfortunately come to a strange closing here, but Clyde Edwin Hedrick, the man long regarded as the prime suspect and the chilling Texas Killing Fields murders that haunted Southeast Texas for decades, has died at age seventy two. Hendrick passed away around two pm on Saturday, March twenty first, twenty six at a Houston hospital after being admitted the previous week. This is according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. He died whilst living in a parole halfway house under the state's strictest super intensive supervision program, which included GPS monitoring.

29:10 For more than forty years. Hedrick has been a central figure in the investigation into the murders of at least four women whose bodies were dumped in a remote marshy field off Calder Road in League City, and this is between Houston and Galveston. The victims included twenty five year old Bartender heid Five last seen October nineteen eighty three, sixteen year old Laura Miller, which was she was last seen September nineteen eighty four, Audrey Lee Cook, approximately thirty years old, and Donna Prudom, approximately thirty four years old. Their remains were discovered between nineteen eighty four and nineteen ninety one, some identified only decades later in twenty nineteen, turning the area into the grimly named Texas Killing Fields now.

29:52 Hedrick was never criminally charged in those four killings and repeatedly maintained his innocence, including in a twenty twenty four on camera interview. However, he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the nineteen eighty four death of twenty nine year old Ellen Beeson, whose body was found nearby under garbage with a fractured skull. He served eight years of a twenty year sentence before his release on parole in twenty twenty one. Laura Miller's father. His name is Tim Miller, and he is the founder of the volunteer search and recovery group Texas Equisearch, and he spent more than four decades seeking justice for his daughter and the other victims. He did win a twenty four million dollar wrongful death civil judgments judgment against Hedrick in twenty twenty two, after this suspect failed to appear in court. Miller has long believed Hedrick was responsible. I hope the case continues to move forward, Miller said after learning of Hedrick's death. Even with his death, I hope authorities can still prove what I believe that Clyde was responsible, from my daughter and the deaths of other girls. A lot of information about the case is yet to come out. It's inexcusable that it went on for this long. Long. Witnesses had placed Heddrick near several victims, including accounts of him speaking with Laura Miller and giving her rides on his motorcycle, visiting hide Heidi Fi's apartment, and being seen with prudom. Retired FBI agent Richard Renaisson, who worked the cases, said investigators could never fully rule Hedrick out despite eliminating other leads.

31:20 We had a whiteboard with all of these names on it. Slowly they were crossed off, but we could never rule out Clyde. Hitchcock Police detective Corey Williams visited Hendrick in the hospital the day before his death. He was too ill to speak, and Hedrick indicated nonverbally that he was not involved. Williams confirmed the investigation remains active. Retired Galveston County Sheriff's Lieutenant Tommy Hansen expressed mixed views, saying that he had doubts about Heddrick's involvement in every case, but saw him as potentially linked to several. Hendrick's death closes one chapter in one of the Texas's most infamous coal case Sagas, which gained renewed attention nationally through the twenty twenty to Netflix documentary crime series Crime Scene. The Texas Killing Fields, but authorities emphasize the murders of Miller five Cook and Prude them along with dozens of other unsolved killings along the I forty five corridor remain open. The search for answers and accountability continues for the families who have waited more than four decades and no cause of death has been released.

32:23 Yeah, and if you haven't seen that Netflix documentary, while it's really good, really well put together, and you hate to see something like this happen because it closes a chapter on a prime suspect in the case, I don't you know if you had anything to do with any of that. Obviously I don't shed a tear for his death, but I shed a tier for the fact that these families it, you know, it eliminates any sort of justice being gained by this guy's arrest for those murders. I tend to agree with the quote that you said in I don't know that he had something to do with all of them, but there were several of them that he was linked to. And this is you know, getting into that would take the whole rest of the show.

33:10 So I'm not going to do that. But go check out the documentary and you'll see what I mean. There's a lot of questions surrounding him personally. Now, we don't like to assign homework at the show, Okay, we don't like to assign homework. It's not what we want to do, but we are going to go ahead and assign that to you. Get on your Netflix and go watch it. And you know, I don't believe in coincidences. They happen, but I don't believe in them as much as this guy seems to be. Involved and be around and giving rides. I mean, and then he's guilty of cracking the skull of a girl who's found, you know, thrown away under some trash. You know that doesn't happen in most people's lifetimes.

33:53 And then you are consistently in the lives of other girls that go missing and are murdered. Yeah, I don't know, guys, but again that's circumstantial, circumstantial, but you know circumstantial cases of convicted people. Many times or you know, hundreds of thousands of times over the year.
