- 0:01Well, it has been a holiday weekend here in the United

- 0:11We've had a lot going on on cases that we've been covering
- 0:13this week. So tonight we're going to do a
- 0:16quick recap on all of them. Also take a look at some

- 0:57This week we have focused on, well, we've talked about a lot
- 1:01of cases, but four of them I'd like to just do a recap on
- 1:06because one, they're just cases that are extremely, extremely
- 1:12troubling. And two, they're timely.
- 1:16Now, I do want to tell you, I'm having a couple of little
- 1:20technical difficulties tonight. For some reason, I can't bring
- 1:24up your comments on the live chat.
- 1:29Let's see if yeah, it's just not coming up and I'm not sure why.
- 1:32So we're going to have to limp along without that.
- 1:37And before we get too far into it, I just want to do a quick
- 1:40little reminder that we have a programming change coming up on
- 1:45Monday. We typically do our live streams
- 1:48at 7:30 PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday here in my
- 1:51channel. Starting Monday, we are moving
- 1:55that forward to 6:00 PM Eastern, so about an hour and a half
- 2:00earlier. Actually let me just check my
- 2:03math know exactly an hour and a half earlier, we still will be
- 2:06going Monday through Friday, 6:00 PM.
- 2:10So that's what we're up to. With that out of the way, let's
- 2:15let's hop into headlines, shall we?
- 2:16True crime headlines. POW.
- 2:27I forgot to turn on the You got to turn that on.
- 2:30OK, I'm seeing. I wish I could share your your
- 2:34comments, Garth B Nutt saying I'm looking so slim.
- 2:39Well, you're most kind because yesterday was Thanksgiving and I
- 2:44consumed quite a lot of scrumptious vittles made by my
- 2:49snuggly bear, my sweetie pie, my one and only, and had the old in
- 2:55laws here. It was actually pretty small
- 2:57gathering for us here in the fish household with only eight
- 2:59people. Our oldest daughter is married
- 3:02and thinking that she and her husband can just do whatever
- 3:05they want where they live. I think that's pretty
- 3:09inconsiderate. But so it's just Kimberly and I,
- 3:13the four younger kiddos and my mother-in-law and father-in-law,
- 3:17which was terrific. A lot of fun.
- 3:19Thank you very much for being so kind.
- 3:22Got people from North Carolina. We got Manitoba, Canada.
- 3:25Tell me where you're from. We got hot Hot Springs, AR,
- 3:28Daytona Beach. Oh my goodness, North Carolina.
- 3:33Did I already say that one another another one from North
- 3:35Carolina. So yeah, we've got got people
- 3:38from all over the place. OK, join me if you will over
- 3:41here on Acrobat for a couple of headlines here in true crime.
- 3:45And remember, if you want me to see a comment on my end, just
- 3:48stick in GF and I will see that on my end.
- 3:51I won't be able to show it on the screen for some reason, but
- 3:54I can. It does help me to see your
- 3:56comments. All right, this brought to us by
- 4:00crime cod, which is my true crime news website headline
- 4:03reads Virginia high school coach missing amid.
- 4:07I'm going to call it see Sam investigation.
- 4:09This is written by Kate Byrd, a Dateline Appalachia, Virginia A
- 4:14Virginia high school football coach who disappeared last week
- 4:18is now considered a fugitive wanted on 10 felony warrants
- 4:22related to C Sam Travis Turner, a Union High School football
- 4:27coach in Big Stone Gap, VA, has been missing since November
- 4:3020th. Virginia State Police said he
- 4:33disappeared the day agents went to his home.
- 4:35During an investigation, state police have obtained 10 warrants
- 4:41for Turner's arrest, ABC News reported.
- 4:44The warrants include five counts of possession of C Sam and five
- 4:48counts of using a computer to solicit a minor like the C Sam's
- 4:56bad enough, but it does seem like it is a entryway into
- 5:02solicitation. The VSP confirmed that Turner is
- 5:05now considered a fugitive. You can you can finish that
- 5:09story over on crimecod.com. Also from Crime COD, also
- 5:14brought to us by Kate Byrd. This one cracked me up.
- 5:17This one cracked me up because there is a guy that I follow on
- 5:21TikTok that is so funny. He just, he just hates food
- 5:27influencers. He just hates food influencers.
- 5:30In fact, I don't really even like that phrase food
- 5:33influencer. But let's let's read on.
- 5:36This one tickled me just a little bit.
- 5:38OK, not not that the crime tickled me, but that we've got
- 5:43we've, we've gotten a rest here. Luxury lifestyle influencer
- 5:48busted in repeated New York City dine and dash spree Dateline,
- 5:54New York City A Brooklyn woman who styled herself as a luxury
- 5:57food influencer was arrested multiple times in late 2025
- 6:02after allegedly skipping out on bills at upscale restaurants
- 6:06across New York City. Pei Chung there is her photo.
- 6:10Pei Chung, 34, faces several counts of theft of services tied
- 6:14to incidents at high end eateries, according to the
- 6:16police. According to the son, Chung has
- 6:19gained notoriety for ordering lavish meals and refusing to pay
- 6:24online. She presents herself as a
- 6:26glamorous lifestyle figure with more than get this everyone
- 6:3113,000 Instagram followers and bringing professional camera
- 6:35gear to restaurants. Authorities said she was
- 6:38arrested at least seven times between late October mid
- 6:43November. Have you guys seen that guy on
- 6:45TikTok? Come with me.
- 6:48Yeah, I love that guy. Anyway, the alleged scams
- 6:51largely took place in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at
- 6:55establishments including the Michelin starred Francie Peter
- 6:59Luger Steakhouse, Motorino Pizza, Lavender Lake, Meadow
- 7:04Suite and Macy. I am no longer, I no longer have
- 7:09my finger on the pulse of New York eateries, if I ever really
- 7:13did. Come on.
- 7:14But I don't. I don't even recognize any of
- 7:17those places, but apparently nice places.
- 7:20This is reminding me of a time not no, Gavin.
- 7:25That would be a tangent. Let's not do that, OK?
- 7:28At Francie in late October, Chung reportedly ordered foie
- 7:31gras, carpaccio, bucatini, lamb and hot chocolate mousse,
- 7:36racking up a $188.00 bill. When her credit cards were
- 7:40declined, she allegedly offered to pay with social media
- 7:43promotion. Oh my Goodness co-owner John
- 7:46Winterman said she proposed trading pictures and A blog post
- 7:49for a meal. Staff refused, and she was later
- 7:52arrested after returning to the restaurant on November 7th and
- 7:56again refusing to pay an $83 tab.
- 7:59OK, you can finish that article at Crime COD.
- 8:03Crime comes in many forms, many shapes, many sizes.
- 8:08This one appears to be about a size 2 and goodness.
- 8:16OK, now guys, the next headline. This one just excites the devil
- 8:23out of me. I love this so much.
- 8:24We talked about it over on the fish tank.
- 8:27If you guys, you guys are always welcome on the fish tank.
- 8:30The fish tank is where we gather where we hang out on on the book
- 8:37of faces and talk about all things true crime.
- 8:42My wife has told me that I need to wear more sweaters, thus this
- 8:48and the new photo. Anywho, OK, let's get let's get
- 8:54to it. Gavin, don't, don't get
- 8:56sidetracked. Are we ready?
- 9:00This coming from News 5 Cleveland, but it has been all
- 9:03over the interwebs, Headline reads.
- 9:06Former husband of missing Pennsylvania woman allegedly
- 9:09admits to killing her guys After more than 40 years the former
- 9:17husband of a missing Pennsylvania woman allegedly
- 9:20confessed to her murder, according to Pennsylvania State
- 9:25Police. Do you remember?
- 9:27Do you remember, do you remember that we had Allison Dyker on as
- 9:36a guest about 10 months ago? She has a fascinating and tragic
- 9:44story. It's just go and watch this one.
- 9:49It's called Just look for Lanin's Law on my channel and
- 9:52watch this if you haven't watched it.
- 9:54Allison Dyker is a hero, man. She is the hero of the week.
- 9:59Allison Dyker is our hero of the week.
- 10:02OK, she, she solved her mother's murder.
- 10:09In my opinion, that's, that's what has happened.
- 10:12She, her mom went missing. Her dad, both her mom and her
- 10:18dad were hearing impaired. They all spoke sign language.
- 10:23And after her mom went missing, it was sometime after she was
- 10:26having issues at home. Her dad full on drove her to the
- 10:31Sheriff's Office, dropped her off and had her translate for
- 10:36him to the sheriff. I don't want her anymore.
- 10:39She's your problem. Before he skedaddled.
- 10:44It is a the she is the hero of the week.
- 10:48OK, she is the Gavin Fish hero of the week.
- 10:51We need a little plaque. But anyway, getting back to the
- 10:54story. Lonnie.
- 10:57Lonnie Rogers disappeared overnight from her family's Hay
- 11:02Field Township, Pennsylvania home after a fight with her
- 11:05separated husband, Clinton Rogers, also known as Bud
- 11:08Rogers, on January 7th, 1981. After years of searching for
- 11:14Lonnie with no results, on Tuesday, Clinton allegedly told
- 11:19police that he killed Lonnie, according to a police report.
- 11:22And we're going to get into the police report, but I want to, I
- 11:25haven't. I've not talked with Allison
- 11:27yet. I've wanted to give her a little
- 11:29bit of space, but I can't wait to talk to her.
- 11:33News 5 spoke to Lonnie's daughter, Allison Dyker, who
- 11:36told us she finally has some closure quote.
- 11:40It was a moment that I always prayed would come but never
- 11:43really imagined it would never thought that he would ever tell
- 11:46the truth, said Dyker. I can finally have closure and
- 11:50I'm not wondering is she out there somewhere?
- 11:53I never believed she was alive, but I wondered what he did to
- 11:57her. Clinton was taken into custody
- 11:59and charged with homicide, the report said.
- 12:02He's currently being held in the Indiana County, Pennsylvania
- 12:05jail without bond and he had been in there for other
- 12:11purposes. I did grab the PIRR is what we
- 12:16call these public information report from PSB station.
- 12:21Now. I have not gotten the actual
- 12:24complaint yet but I hope to this is this is the report and they
- 12:32say but what the what the article said.
- 12:35The victim was reported missing to the PSP on January 7th, 1981.
- 12:40The victim's husband, Clinton Rogers, related he and the
- 12:42victim had an argument on the evening of January 6th.
- 12:47Clinton Rogers reported he woke up and discovered Lenny Rogers
- 12:50was not at the residence. Her boots, jeans and coat were
- 12:53gone. Her purse, hearing aids,
- 12:55glasses, car and keys were left behind.
- 12:58In addition, her two children, ages one and six, also remained
- 13:03at home. That night there was a severe
- 13:06snowstorm in the area. None of Lenine Rodgers close
- 13:10friends and family have had any contact her with since the day
- 13:14of her disappearance. Family and friends have
- 13:16maintained she would not have willfully left the residence
- 13:19without her children. Numerous searches were conducted
- 13:22for the victim over the years with the negative results.
- 13:24In fact, Allison went out with heavy equipment into a spot
- 13:30where she thought her mother, her mother might be married or
- 13:33buried. I'm tripping over my tongue
- 13:35tonight on 11/26/2025. Two days ago, Clinton Rogers
- 13:42admitting admitted to killing Lonnie Clinton was taken into
- 13:46custody, has been charged with criminal homicide and related
- 13:49offenses. Clinton Rogers is currently
- 13:51incarcerated in the Indiana County Jail.
- 13:52So there is the report and those are our headlines.
- 13:56True crime headlines. Yeah, OK.
- 14:08Man, I'm so excited about that. I am just so excited that there
- 14:14is. And I know in our last live
- 14:17stream, I talked about there is no justice.
- 14:19There really isn't justice in this world for crimes like
- 14:22these. But as Allison said, maybe there
- 14:28will be a little closure. Let's see what you guys are
- 14:31saying over here. Yeah.
- 14:34Deanna, somebody pointed this out to me.
- 14:36It wasn't Barry Morphy who asked a friend to hide A gun.
- 14:39That was Brad Simpson. Yeah.
- 14:42Thank you very much saying that and I forgot to announce that.
- 14:45Yeah, I made. I made that mistake as well.
- 14:49Scotch mom says that food influencer was a glutton for
- 14:53punishment. Hold on.
- 14:54Hold on. Do we have it?
- 14:59I don't know. I don't know.
- 15:00Doesn't matter. OK.
- 15:02I was going to give you an applause, a laugh track,
- 15:04whatever. That was pretty great.
- 15:09Yeah. 44 years later, says Mooney.
- 15:11Glad she has some closure. Was he already in prison when he
- 15:15confessed? I believe he was.
- 15:17He was in. So in Pennsylvania, we call our
- 15:21jails prisons and we call our prisons SCIS.
- 15:24So he's in the Indiana County jail on other charges.
- 15:29I do not know if he has said where her body is.
- 15:35That was not in the report. So I don't know.
- 15:38But great question. Great question.
- 15:41I'm so excited. I'm just that it, it energizes
- 15:46me when there is, it's not a happy ending.
- 15:48Lonnie is still dead, right? And has been for 40 years.
- 15:53And her everything, her, her children didn't get the pleasure
- 15:59of growing up with her mother. And Oh my goodness, they just
- 16:03went through so much, or at least Allison did.
- 16:05But now there is it. It seems like we know what
- 16:11happened and I can't wait to follow it a little bit.
- 16:13If there was a confession, man, that'll be hard to overcome.
- 16:17We shall see if he fights it in court.
- 16:20OK, that brings us to the the cases that we want to go over
- 16:30here a little bit. OK, let us start here with our
- 16:35recap. OK, let's start with Anna
- 16:37Kepner. This there's just been little
- 16:41the family of young Miss Kepner, 18 years old, going to graduate
- 16:47this year. She was a senior in high school
- 16:50cheerleader. She was a good student living in
- 16:54Titusville, FL, goes on a cruise with her dad or stepmom or step
- 17:02siblings and loses her life. And it was an accidental,
- 17:07according to what we're hearing all over the place.
- 17:10But the family keeps talking to the media, which is kind of a
- 17:15breath of fresh air. I got to say.
- 17:17I mean, I don't think I would were I in their position, but I,
- 17:21I'm grateful that they are. But check this out.
- 17:25Anna Kepner's family seeks answers while Carnival
- 17:27passengers recall chaotic night of teens death.
- 17:30So not only do we have a family member talking here, but also a
- 17:35passenger. OK Friday.
- 17:40Today marks three weeks since 18 year old Anna Kepner of
- 17:44Titusville boarded a cruise ship and never came home.
- 17:47Her family says they're still waiting for answers.
- 17:50What we know Anna Kepner was found dead earlier this month
- 17:54while on a family cruise aboard the Carnival Horizon with her
- 17:57father's stepmother and siblings.
- 17:59Her 16 year old stepbrother has been named a suspect in the case
- 18:03and federal investigators are treating her death as a
- 18:05homicide, according to court filings.
- 18:08Brevard County Judge ruled this week that the custody case
- 18:10involving Anna's stepmother and her ex-husband will remain open
- 18:14to the public. That's new for me.
- 18:16Meaning Anna's father, Christopher Kepner, may be
- 18:19required to testify. Family members say he previously
- 18:24told them that Anna was rooming with her stepbrother on the
- 18:27ship. The FBI continues to investigate
- 18:30her death, but no arrests have been made.
- 18:32Relatives and passengers who are on the ship say they're
- 18:35struggling with the uncertainty that has followed since the
- 18:38November 7th incident. Here's what her family is
- 18:42saying. For Kepner's relatives, the
- 18:43holiday week underscores the loss.
- 18:46Quote, it's a turmoil. We're just sitting here waiting,
- 18:49said her aunt, Crystal Wright, who described the devastation of
- 18:52losing her niece and the frustration of not knowing what
- 18:55comes next. Yeah, I mean, do you guys hear
- 19:00the beeping outside? We've we've had quite the
- 19:04snowstorm over the last couple of days.
- 19:08Yeah. But not knowing what comes next
- 19:12because when you lose a child in this way, it is a long process.
- 19:18What comes next is a lengthy, lengthy process.
- 19:21Wright said the family learned through unrelated custody
- 19:24documents that Kepner's 16 year old stepbrother is considered a
- 19:27suspect in the FBI investigation, though no charges
- 19:30have been filed. She quoted again.
- 19:33She's quoted again. We don't understand why.
- 19:36If the boy is a suspect, why has he not been charged yet?
- 19:39What's happening here? Of course, you and I know
- 19:42because we kind of live in this world, right, that they're
- 19:44building a case. They're just building a case.
- 19:48Wright added that she believes her niece tried to fight back.
- 19:51Quote, I know Anna fought. I know she fought for her life.
- 19:54So it's rough. It's rough. close.
- 19:56Quote Travelers Travelers who are on the carnival horizon the
- 20:02night Kepner died say they too were left with few details.
- 20:06Passenger Tina Altman said an emergency call went out around
- 20:0911 AM directing shipped personnel to the 8th floor.
- 20:13Where cabin security later blocked off the area where
- 20:15Kepner was found. The ship docked in Miami the
- 20:18next day. There's still a lot of unknowns.
- 20:22This is Altman quoting again. And I don't think we will know
- 20:25everything for a very long time. Altman said as a frequent
- 20:29cruiser and mother, she said the tragedy hit her hard.
- 20:32I can't imagine it. I have a 21 year old daughter
- 20:35and a 19 year old son and my heart breaks for the entire
- 20:38family. And she said exactly what all of
- 20:41us are thinking. Yeah.
- 20:45FBI is not named suspect. FBI has not arrested anyone.
- 20:51The medical examiner's office has not released or confirmed
- 20:54details about how she died. So that is Anna Kepner.
- 21:00See if you guys are saying anything on Anna.
- 21:04Well, real happy saying I'm looking spiffy tonight.
- 21:08Kim really said I need to wear more sweaters.
- 21:11Not really a layering guy. But I will tell you this, and
- 21:16this is a tangent. This is totally a tangent, OK?
- 21:27Basically Kimberly and I got married and from that moment on
- 21:32I didn't want to do anything else but be home.
- 21:37And my wife is a physically active, physically fit person.
- 21:41And I just never wanted to be anything but home.
- 21:44Now, in my youth, I was, I was a fashionable kid.
- 21:48I tried anyway. I tried.
- 21:51I definitely spent a lot of time at Sunrise Mall.
- 21:54And the Roosevelt Galleria is a kid.
- 21:58What was the one in Sacramento? Oh, I it was a nice mall is
- 22:03Arden Fair Mall? Spent a lot of time at Arden
- 22:06Fair Mall, Lots of time at Sunrise Mall, which is where I
- 22:09worked. And yeah, anyway, I had lots of
- 22:13cool clothes, but as fit skinny Gavin became Fat Dad Gavin, I
- 22:20just wasn't all that interested in looking good because I never
- 22:24looked good. So it has been nice.
- 22:27It has been nice to slim down a little bit, certainly on the
- 22:34overweight side still, but it has felt good and it feels good
- 22:38to dress well. Also, guys, my wedding band
- 22:43fits. My wedding band fits again, just
- 22:49kind of awesome to to wear the old one because I I've had other
- 22:52rings that I get and and wear, but it's fun to wear the
- 22:57original wedding band site. So anyway, Tiff says ladies love
- 23:05men in sweaters. Yeah, that's, that's a thing in
- 23:11my youth. Shut your mouth.
- 23:13That's funny. OK.
- 23:17Tiff says if you can't look good, then you better smell
- 23:19good. Oh, yeah.
- 23:20So we have a nephew that he's now 18 or 19 years old.
- 23:27But when he was a little kid, he would get into his dad's Cologne
- 23:30and he would put it on and he would call it, he called it his
- 23:35handsome. He was putting his handsome on.
- 23:38So yes, I, I've been putting on Handsome too.
- 23:41It's pretty, pretty good. Anyway, OK, what is our next
- 23:44case that we want to talk about? I believe, I believe we're going
- 23:50to circle back to the case of Celeste Rivas.
- 23:53There are a couple of articles that have come out recently that
- 23:57I want to share with you some of the details.
- 24:03Let's go back over to Acrobat. This from the Daily Mail Private
- 24:07investigator challenges Celeste Riva's autopsy bombshell and
- 24:11reveals what he found inside David's freezer so we know about
- 24:15the case. Celeste was a 14 year old girl
- 24:19who apparently had a relationship with 20 year old
- 24:23David Burke. Tiktok phenom, singer and rising
- 24:28star, age 20, and she was kind of a serial runaway.
- 24:35Her body was found in September in his Tesla, in the trunk of
- 24:41his Tesla Tesla. It was her body was in pieces
- 24:45and decomposing. And there have been lots of
- 24:48different, different reports from different sources named and
- 24:55unnamed about that. We won't get into that.
- 24:59But anyway, I want to Scroll down so we know that she ran
- 25:05away, she vanished from Lake Elsinore.
- 25:09We heard the anonymous law enforcement resources saying
- 25:12that she was partially frozen still.
- 25:15And then I want to get here, OK? Steve Fisher, a private
- 25:18investigator hired by the singer's landlord to
- 25:21independently review the case, told the Daily Mail he found no
- 25:24evidence to support such a claim.
- 25:26Quote the freezer still had its shelves installed, along with
- 25:29food and beverage items that had clearly been in there for
- 25:32months, said Fisher, continuing the quote.
- 25:36I also tested key areas of interest in and around the home
- 25:40with luminol and Blue Star to look for blood evidence and did
- 25:43not get any positive results. Fisher added that he uncovered
- 25:48uncovered no evidence to suggest a violent crime had taken place
- 25:51at the rental home, though he previously said he found a
- 25:55series of strange items that could be used to dispose of a
- 25:59body. And then, of course, the LAPD
- 26:02Captain Scott Williams, who spoke after TMZ reported about
- 26:08the frozen body, said it was not frozen.
- 26:13Let's see if there's anything else.
- 26:15Yeah, we know that the medical examiner's office can't release
- 26:18anything. There was a court order holding
- 26:21that, yeah, I think Burke had been staying at the $4.1 million
- 26:27home in the Hollywood Hills. The home was raided by LAPD on
- 26:30September 17th. Yeah.
- 26:33OK, we've got. OK.
- 26:35So that's everything out of that article that I want to share
- 26:37with you. And then this one from
- 26:38yesterday, also the Daily Mail. We talked about this already,
- 26:43but since this is a recap, I just want to bring it up again.
- 26:47A grand jury has been presented with evidence connected to the
- 26:50death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the teenage girl
- 26:54whose body was found in singer David's Tesla.
- 26:57According to the LA Times, the Los Angeles County District
- 27:00Attorney's Office seated an investigative grand jury in mid
- 27:03November. The in camera or secret
- 27:07proceedings of a grand jury are designed to protect the
- 27:09integrity of an investigation and the identity of witnesses
- 27:12called to share testimony. Meanwhile, a court petition also
- 27:16obtained. Yeah, we know that.
- 27:19So the medical examiner's office cannot, cannot reveal anything.
- 27:30A new report claims that a grand jury has begun hearing evidence
- 27:33connected to the death of Rivas Hernandez.
- 27:37A law enforcement told the Times that several witnesses have been
- 27:40called in front of the grand jury by Deputy District Attorney
- 27:43Beth Silverman. In a statement, the district
- 27:46attorney's office told the Ali Times that they could not
- 27:48disclose any information about grand jury proceedings.
- 27:50Of course. So yeah, we got the grand jury
- 27:54going on. We got Steve Fisher saying nae,
- 27:57nae to the freezy thing that he tried, that he tested with
- 28:01luminol and Blue Star found no evidence that a violent crime
- 28:05took place there. So those those are the updates
- 28:10on Celeste Rivas Hernandez's case that I wanted to bring to
- 28:14you. Just want to check in with you
- 28:17guys, see what you're talking about over here.
- 28:28Yeah, it's it is cute putting his handsome on.
- 28:30Yeah. And Heather saying the frozen
- 28:33part makes no sense. Yeah.
- 28:37These predators know who to target, Says contact Angel.
- 28:40The kids with parents that can't control their kids or run away.
- 28:44Yeah. I I just can't imagine what her
- 28:48family is going through right now.
- 28:50Just terrible. The Pi, Mooney was not hired by
- 28:54David, but hired by his landlord who owned the house.
- 28:57Remember that house was being rented or leased for him by his
- 29:03manager or by his label or something like that.
- 29:06And it was the landlord after the raid that hired Steve Fisher
- 29:13to go in and investigate what happened in the house.
- 29:18So great question. OK, The next case that I want to
- 29:24get into a little bit, just as a recap is the Anna Walsh case,
- 29:30OK. And of course, the reason being
- 29:33on Monday morning, we are to hear opening arguments in the
- 29:39trial against her husband, Brian Walsh.
- 29:42So this from Boston, 25, on the eve of Brian Walsh's case.
- 29:46Challenges ahead for both sides. It says.
- 29:49Dateline, Dedham, Mass. On Monday, all eyes will be on
- 29:53the Norfolk County Superior Court in Dedham for the murder
- 29:57trial of Brian Walsh. He's charged with killing his
- 30:00missing wife, Anna Anna Walsh, over New Year's 2023.
- 30:04Anna disappeared from the couple's Cohasset home after a
- 30:07small New Year's Eve party. Brian Walsh initially told
- 30:11police his wife abruptly left Cohasset to handle a work
- 30:14emergency in Washington, DC. He has now admitted admitted
- 30:18that was a lie. In a shocking legal twist, last
- 30:21week, Walsh pleaded guilty to two counts against him lying to
- 30:24police and for illegally disposing of Anna's body.
- 30:28He's now on trial for a single charge of murder.
- 30:31Investigators have amassed a mountain of evidence against
- 30:34Brian Walsh, most notably a series of Internet searches on a
- 30:37child's iPad about how to dispose of a body.
- 30:41They also have surveillance images of Walsh buying cleaning
- 30:44materials at local hardware stores and dumping heavy trash
- 30:47bags at area dumpsters. Boston criminal defense attorney
- 30:51Elise Hershon believes prosecutors will need more if
- 30:55they're going to prove that Brian Walsh murdered his wife.
- 30:57Quote, if a jury doesn't know how she died, that's not a
- 31:00conviction. They cannot convict on that,
- 31:02Hirshon said. Attorney Hirshon explains that
- 31:05prosecutors are challenged by the fact that Anna Walsh has
- 31:08never been found. And even though Walsh has
- 31:11admitted to illegally disposing that he meet, Let me read that
- 31:15again. Even though Walsh has admitted
- 31:17he illegally disposed of Anna's body, there are no witnesses to
- 31:21Anna's death, making it hard to prove a murder charge.
- 31:24Again, from Hirshon quote, he could have done nothing, could
- 31:29have had nothing to do with how she died or could have even been
- 31:32self-defense or could have been some type of manslaughter.
- 31:35So there are a lot of options still open.
- 31:38Which is the definition of reasonable doubt.
- 31:41If you think he caused her death but you don't know how, that's
- 31:44an acquittal. I disagree with attorney
- 31:47Hershon. I disagree.
- 31:54In order to prove that a murder happened.
- 31:58Well, OK, now I'm quibbling with myself.
- 32:02The first part of proving homicide is that Anna Walsh is
- 32:07indeed dead. And Brian Walsh gave the
- 32:09prosecution that gave it to him said, yeah, I disposed of her
- 32:13body. But is it reasonable?
- 32:19I mean, were there other people in the house?
- 32:22I, I I'm looking forward to seeing the the so-called
- 32:25mountain of evidence. I believe that he is guilty of
- 32:28killing Anna. I I believe that.
- 32:31But will a jury, you just never know what a jury will do.
- 32:37You just never know. And it's actually kind of
- 32:40infuriating too. Yeah, let's see.
- 32:45OK, so that is where we are with Anna.
- 32:48So on Monday morning, we will start to get our opening
- 32:55statements. We will hear opening statements.
- 32:57Last case I want to bring you up to date on, just as a recap, is
- 33:02the case of Caitlin Tracy, who fell I think 24 stories to her
- 33:07death in a Chicago high rise. And for some reason there is in
- 33:13this high high rise a way in which a person can fall 24
- 33:18stories. I I just still don't get that in
- 33:20modern buildings, how they're not built with walls.
- 33:24So as the stairs go down around walls so that you can't go over
- 33:30the edge and fall all the way down.
- 33:33I just, I don't get how that is still a thing in this day and
- 33:37age. I just don't get it.
- 33:39But as a recap, Adam Beckerink, seen here in his mug shot, he
- 33:49pleaded guilty to a contempt of court charge in Michigan this
- 33:53week. Let's see, I just Beckerink
- 34:03pleaded guilty to a contempt of court charge first reported on
- 34:07last month after an incident at a Concentra Urgent Care clinic
- 34:12in Chicago's West Town neighborhood.
- 34:13CPD officers were called to the clinic on West Chicago Ave.
- 34:17after Beckerink was there for court ordered drug testing and
- 34:20showed clear signs of intoxication.
- 34:22Judge Brust asked him if he violated the conditions of his
- 34:25bond when he was intoxicated at the urgent Care center in
- 34:28Chicago. Beckerink answered yes.
- 34:32So I also discussed at the hearing Becker inks extradition
- 34:36to Cook County on a Chicago police warrant for the murder of
- 34:39Tracy. She was found dead in October of
- 34:41last year at the bottom of the stairwell in his high rise condo
- 34:45in the South Loop. For with her foot severed and
- 34:47her body pulverized, the court is still waiting for paperwork
- 34:52from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who is legally
- 34:55required to sign a warrant and send it to Michigan's governor
- 34:59to extradite Beckerink. The state is still waiting for
- 35:01paperwork from Cook County. If he waives extradition, the
- 35:06signed warrant from Pitzker is not necessary.
- 35:08I thought that he did waive extradition, but I guess was
- 35:12that a different case that we. Yeah, that was a different case
- 35:15we were looking at. So we shall see what happens
- 35:19there now. So let's let's remember Caitlin
- 35:23Tracy, who just died a horrible death.
- 35:27My goodness sake. Just checking your comments here
- 35:32real quick. Yeah, Like photos.
- 35:38Doulos, Tiff. Yep, think the evidence is
- 35:43pretty clear in this case. Ohio Palm mom is saying how old
- 35:47is the building? I don't know how old the
- 35:50building is, but that just seems like something that needs to be
- 35:52retrofitted. If it's an old building, there
- 36:00should be a retrofit. I the ability for somebody to
- 36:05fall 24 stories that that that is, I mean, I and I do think
- 36:14that there's probably some civil liability on the part of the
- 36:18building ownership. I do and I'm I'm not a litigious
- 36:21person. I don't I don't believe in
- 36:24filing lawsuits for the sake of filing lawsuits.
- 36:26But my 24 stories, yeah. Heather Sparrow saying Brian
- 36:35Walsh is done even with former Trooper Proctor as the lead.
- 36:40I agree. OK, so that is our recap, guys.
- 36:44We've got a few more minutes. So why don't we get into three
- 36:47questions, push the right button, OK, three questions with
- 37:01Gavin Fish. This is what we do.
- 37:03For those of you who are new here, You are allowed to ask me
- 37:06any question, any question. Nothing is off limits.
- 37:10It can be wildly inappropriate and I will answer the question.
- 37:15Now. I've noticed, probably because
- 37:17of the Thanksgiving holiday, that there are a few questions
- 37:22coming in, fewer questions. So if you want questions
- 37:26answered, just e-mail me 3 questions at gavinfish.com.
- 37:30It's spelled out THR EE questions at gavinfish.com and
- 37:38we will get into it. Here we go.
- 37:41First question, push the right button here.
- 37:45What's your nickname? What's your nickname for people
- 37:49who've known you your whole life?
- 37:51What is it that people who have known me my whole life call me?
- 37:55That's the question. What's your nickname for people
- 37:58who've known you your whole life?
- 38:01Yeah, well, I don't. I don't have really a nickname.
- 38:14My dad has a nickname for me, which I won't reveal here, but
- 38:22it's only one that he's allowed to call me.
- 38:25My mom usually calls me son or she likes.
- 38:28She likes Darlin. She likes to say Darlin.
- 38:31She calls me Darlin a lot. There's no G on that.
- 38:34It's not darling, it's darling. Kimberly calls me Gavin and I
- 38:41call her Kimberly, but I also call her my sweetie pie, my
- 38:44snuggly bear, my one and only. Sometimes I call her Smeagol
- 38:48because she is my precious, but I don't think I have a nickname.
- 38:52Now there's some people who call me Gav, and coming from people
- 38:59who have known me since childhood, I'm totally cool with
- 39:01that. But I, I prefer not to hear it.
- 39:06Let's see, my mom calls me Gav every once in a while too, but I
- 39:10prefer to be called Gavin. And it's just I, I don't know
- 39:15why there are. Let's see, you know, high school
- 39:21buddies will call me Fish every once in a while.
- 39:24My my last name is funny enough that they could, they could just
- 39:26say my last name and that's, that's it, That's it.
- 39:31And Lisa Cox is saying I like Gav.
- 39:33I hate Gav. I like Gav for other people.
- 39:38And I like Gav from certain people.
- 39:41Like I've my buddy Nate, who we've known since we were eight
- 39:45years old. He calls me Gav.
- 39:47My buddy Julene, since I've that I've known since maybe we were
- 39:5010 years old. She calls me Gav.
- 39:57That's I think that's about it. So yeah, kind of boring, kind of
- 40:03boring answer, but I really don't don't have a nickname.
- 40:10Maybe I should come up with one. Maybe, maybe we need to come up
- 40:14with 10. Actually, you know what Content
- 40:18Angel Content Angel just brought up.
- 40:22Gavinator So I did have coworkers that called me
- 40:28Gavinator. And now that I think about it,
- 40:31like Cherylin Dale calls me G money.
- 40:33I I get that so often. I get G money so often and I
- 40:38have no idea why, but that's yeah, I do get that.
- 40:45These days it's mostly from Cherylin, but I, but I've had
- 40:48that in the past as well. Tiff says.
- 40:51Gavin has a British name, isn't it?
- 40:53I, I, it's, well, it's definitely of English origin.
- 40:57My Gavin is actually my middle name.
- 41:02I, I am one of those guys that has a first initial meanness in
- 41:08my, my, my parents are just mean for doing that to one of their
- 41:12children. But the reason is they wanted to
- 41:15name me after my dad, but they didn't want to call me after my
- 41:20dad. They didn't want to call me
- 41:21junior or anything like that. So they named me after my
- 41:26father, gave me my middle name is Gavin and then called me
- 41:30Gavin from moment one. And I asked why you didn't just
- 41:38put my name is John Gavin Fish and it's spelled Jon.
- 41:44I'm just named after my dad. So John Gavin, I said, well, why
- 41:47didn't you name me Gavin? John?
- 41:50They're like, no. Well, John Gap.
- 41:52My mom says it just sounds more musical when you say John Gavin
- 41:55as supposed to Gavin John. I think it has to do with the
- 41:59actor John Gavin. Also, my mom has never admitted
- 42:03to this, but I I think she had something for Captain Steubing,
- 42:06Gavin McLeod. So yeah, Gavin is nowhere.
- 42:12I I don't have any ancestors that I know of that are.
- 42:15It's not a family name. It's just a name that my parents
- 42:19loved. But I am named after my father
- 42:22and I do love that. I think that's wonderful.
- 42:26Yeah. I don't look like a John, Tiff
- 42:28says. Half of my family goes by their
- 42:30middle name. Well, I you know, our society is
- 42:34not built for people to go by their middle names.
- 42:37It's like I, like I had a my 7th grade math teacher called me
- 42:42John the entire year. And it did not matter how many
- 42:44times I corrected her, my name is not John, or how many times I
- 42:48just refused to respond. Like if it was on her paper,
- 42:53it's John. And like we get calls
- 42:56telemarketers and stuff like that.
- 42:58Hi, John. Like to talk to you about like,
- 43:00that's how I know you don't know me.
- 43:02So, yeah, I think what should happen is throughout our
- 43:08society, there should be like on our birth certificates, on what
- 43:13are our marriage licenses, on all that stuff, there should be
- 43:18first name, middle name or middle names and preferred name,
- 43:24something like that. DDWM Wah says Gavin.
- 43:30We did it to our son. He's named after his dad and we
- 43:33called him by his middle name. It suits him so well.
- 43:35Well, good. And you know what?
- 43:37One of our son's friends when they were like 12 years old, He
- 43:41he his middle name is his is his father's first name.
- 43:46And he went by his first name and he just announced to
- 43:49everybody, Nope, I'm going by my middle name now.
- 43:51He he liked his middle name. So like, he did it to himself on
- 43:57purpose. I wonder how that is going for
- 44:00him. So, yeah, that's, I guess that's
- 44:03the answer to the nickname question.
- 44:06Jules and me does not have a middle name.
- 44:08Yeah, my wife does not have a middle or did not have a middle
- 44:11name until we got married. And what she decided to do is
- 44:14make her maiden name her middle name.
- 44:16She's now Kimberly Compton Fish. So interesting what we do with
- 44:21our names. Okie, Dokie, is this our third?
- 44:27Is this our last question? No, this is our second to last.
- 44:30OK, just tell us a favorite memory.
- 44:34You guys just you guys are just goading me into into talking
- 44:38about old memories. I guess I, I am a nostalgic
- 44:42creature. You think an old memory?
- 44:50I don't. That's just so out of left
- 44:53field. Give me a second think about
- 44:55this. Just an old memory that I can
- 44:57share with you. Nothing's kind of I, I got to
- 45:03have a better prompt than that. I'm sorry.
- 45:05I mean, I appreciate that you are, that you're asking me to,
- 45:10to share a memory because I, I guess I, I am a person with 1000
- 45:14stories that I tell over and over and over again, but
- 45:19nothing's coming to mind. Let's think about this for
- 45:22Christmas season or Thanksgiving season on the spot.
- 45:28I got nothing for you. I am so sorry.
- 45:31Got to got to be better on those questions.
- 45:34OK, I trying think if there's no I I can't think of one.
- 45:42OK, final question. If you got the chance to
- 45:46interview Stephen Stearns, what would you ask him?
- 45:50What would I ask Stephen Stearns?
- 45:53I am not even remotely interested in anything that man
- 45:56has to say. So if I got a chance to
- 46:01interview Stephen Stearns, I mean, the most obvious question
- 46:07that like the reporter in me would want to ask is probably
- 46:12why. But I have no interest in why
- 46:16I'd, I, I would ask that in order to put it into a story,
- 46:20but I just don't care what I I want to just forget that man.
- 46:24Just he's gone. He's out of sight, out of mind.
- 46:29Let him spend the rest of his unnatural life in prison and
- 46:37that's it. That's what I think.
- 46:40It's all I got. And I think that's the end,
- 46:44guys. That is the end of three
- 46:46questions. It's 3 questions.
- 46:55Hey, before we decide to take off, I just want to remind you
- 46:59about this video, the Lenin's Law that Allison Dyker is
- 47:05fighting for. Check out this video.
- 47:08When was it? It was back in January, January
- 47:127th of 2025. It's when we did this video.
- 47:15Look at me of my short hair and my long beard, my long bird.
- 47:19That shacket. I'm, I'm wearing that shacket a
- 47:21lot these days. Anyway, Allison is the hero of
- 47:26the week, man. She's our hero of the week.
- 47:30She is amazing. I've paused it on the weird face
- 47:34thing. I'll just let it play so you can
- 47:35see what she, she is just amazing.
- 47:39And I'm so happy for her that there is at least a little bit
- 47:42of closure on her mother's case. So that's pretty awesome.
