  Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Happy Monday. I hope you all had a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: great weekend. I had a wonderful weekend with Double H
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and some high school friends and guys. I used to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: say my old friends, but now that we are old,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's a little rude, so I guess
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I'm want to just say high school friends. First, I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: want to let you know I am streaming from my
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: hotel in Dallas. I am here. I'm recording a special
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: podcast episode with the podcast Texas Wine and True Crime.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: So I came up last night and I'm doing from
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: my hotel room. So I apologize for the lighting. If
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you want to see the setup of my wonky thing
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: where I'm streaming today, you could go see it on
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: my Facebook page Terry true Crime, my Instagram, and I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: even put it on TikTok and oh yeah, I am
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Terry true Crime. I guess I forgot to tell you
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: all that. And welcome to Midday Missing. Midday Missing is
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: where I highlight current missing person cases that need more
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: attention because guys, a lot of cases do not get
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: there they need And then I got to thinking about
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: why that is a lot of it is because if
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they're not the perfect victim people don't highlight it. But
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: now that I've been doing missing person cases I think
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: we started in May, there is a lot of them.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: There could be a news broadcast every day that covered
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: nothing but missing person cases. I want that to sync
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in because that is a huge challenge and we need
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to fix that, even thinking about adding an additional livestream
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in the new year, or maybe doing more cases or something,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: because there are so many out there. For those of
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you that are new here, True Crime and Wine Time
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Productions is now TCWT Media and we are dedicated to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: bringing you compelling true crime content, but in a safe
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and supportive community. I also want to say we give
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: triggers when things are going to be rough. For example,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: True Crime and Wine Time podcast last week was the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: darkest JT has ever covered, and while it made an
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: impact on me. So we try to do it safe
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and we try not to get too deep into the details,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: but we do share information we think is pertinent. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: under our TCWT Media company, like I mentioned, we have
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: True Crime and Wine Time, which is our flagship podcast.

  Speaker 1: She is going through and letting me know exactly what
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I can say and what I can't say. We don't
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: want to get in trouble or harm any investigation that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the police could possibly be doing if Harris County decides
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to get off their ass, so you will see that
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: coming out. I am hoping it happens this week. We
• 4:35

• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to what we're talking about today, and I am going
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to try to slow down because I know I've drank
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: way too much coffee this morning. And I also am
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: going to give you a four warning at the end
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: after we cover two cases. I do have an update
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: about something I'm going to warn you now. I'm angry,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: i am pissed off, and my head wants to spend
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: like the Exorcist. So I'm trying to stay calm, but
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: just know that's coming. So today we're going to talk
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: about the chilling and the unsolved case of Brianna Maitland.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: She's a young woman who vanished from a small town
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: in Vermont back in two thousand and four. Brianna was
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: seventeen years old when she disappeared. She was born on
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: October eighth, nineteen eighty six. She was from the small
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: town of Montgomery, Vermont, which is a rural area not
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: far from the Canadian border. Now, Brianna is to described
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: as a vibrant young woman. She has hazel brown eyes,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: brown hair. She stands about five foot five and at
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the time of her disappearance she weighed around one hundred
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and eighteen pounds. Now she has some very distinguishing features.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: She has a scar near her left eyebrow and appears
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: left nostril where she typically wore a small stud But guys,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it's a circumstances surrounding her disappearance that have haunted investigators
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and her loved ones for nearly two decades. So on
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: March nineteenth, two thousand and four, Brianna finished her shift
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: at the Black Lantern Inn, which is a small restaurant
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: where she worked. She left the restaurant at around eleven
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: twenty pm, and she was driving her green nineteen eighty
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: five Oldsmobile eighty eight. Guys, both of my parents had
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: oldsmo Bill's eighty eight. When I read this for the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: first time, I was like, oh my god, I know
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: exactly what that car looks like. Because I'm not a
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: car person anyway, Brianna was headed to a friend's house.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: She never made it okay. The very next day, Brianna's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: car was discovered about a mile away from the restaurant. Guys,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: here's the really eerie creepy part. The car wasn't just
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: left on the side of the road. It had been
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: backed into an old, abandoned farmhouse, with the rear of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the car lodged into the side of the building. And
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to this day, no one knows if this was a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: deliberate act, a panic decision on her part, or something
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: far more sinister. Guys, I am going to say I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: find it very sinister because maybe some people backup cars
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: better than me, because I don't backup car is very
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: s straight. It's better now that I have a backup camera.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: But if you're in a state of panic, backing into
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: an old farmhouse wouldn't be easy. So that leads me
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to think she wasn't panicked, that somebody maybe put her
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: car there is my two cents. Now, what's even more
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: troubling is that Brianna herself was nowhere to be found.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: There was nothing that gave them any information about why
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the car was there or anything, and no one has
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: reported seeing her after she left work and her disappearance
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was immediately suspicious, and thankfully investigators quickly got involved. They
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: suspected foul play, but despite extensive efforts, there is still
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: no clear evidence to indicate what happened to her. Now,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: if you're like me, you're probably thinking, was there any
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: sign of trouble? Was there any clues at the scene,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: because you know, that's where our brain goes. We live
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: in this true crime world, right. Well, police did find
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: some scattered items near the car, but nothing that was
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a you know, defiantly pointed that said this happened. Okay, Now,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that any blood was found, so that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: also adds more suspicion to me. Now, over the years,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: her family and investigators have held on to hope, but
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: as if today, Brianna has never been found. And Guys,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: it wasn't until March of twenty twenty two that there
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: was a potential breakthrough in the case. Vermont State Police
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: were able to use advanced DNA sequencing on a sample
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: found near the abandoned car, and guys, it was a
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: glimmer of hope in a case that had gone cold
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: for eighteen years. Unfortunately, it did not lead to an
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: arrest or any answers. Still, this investigation continues, with authorities
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: working closely with forensic labs in the hopes of finding
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: new leads. Now I'm going to go out on the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: limb and say, because they're not naming a person of
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: interest or suspect, that the DNA wasn't in the CODAS system.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: If anyone's new to true crime, codis is where DNA
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: is put and they can match it. So important thing
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to note, Brihanna's family has never stopped searching for her
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to seek answers. Okay, her parents, Bruce and Kelly, have
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: been deadfast in their efforts to keep her case alive
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and in the public eye. In recent years, they have
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: collaborated with investigators, media outlets, and forensic experts to ensure
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Brianna Brianna isn't forgotten. They also run a Facebook page
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: dedicated to her case, so when they're shared updates, they
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: put them out there to help also raise awareness. So
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: where does this case stand today in October twenty twenty four?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Like I said, Despite the DNA advancements in twenty twenty
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: two and the continued efforts, Brianna's disappearance remains unsolved over
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the years, there have been various theories. Various theories, some
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: speculating foul play at the hands of someone she knew,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: others suspecting a random act of violence. And of course,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: in cases like these, we often hear whispers of connections
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to other missing person cases or even larger criminal networks,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: that no solid evidence has served to support any one theory.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: What we do know is that Brionna Maitland, seventeen year
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: old with her whole life ahead of her, left work
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: one night and vanished without a trace. Aliens did not
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: swoop down and pick her up. I know y'all gets
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: tired of me saying that, but there has to be
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a trace. Her car was found abandoned in a way
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: that leaves more questions than answers, and despite being decades
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: of investigations, her family is still waiting for closure. Now
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: don't have this written down, but I can't help. But wonder,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: being that close to Canada, are Canada investigators helping in
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: this because I am assuming it's easy to you walk
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: across and get into Canada, just like you can from
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Mexico into Texas. And we know that human trafficking and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: sex trafficking is a big deal and it happens way
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: more than we want to think. So I wonder if
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the Canadian police are involved. If anyone knows, drop a
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: message in the comments or shoot me a message, because
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I'd like to know more about that. I am going
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to reach out to Mike and his wife Amber from
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Brew Crimes and say live in Canada and see if
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: they've heard. If I fan anything out, I'll give you
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: an update. But I want to ask you to please
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: make sure to follow her case on the Facebook page
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: dedicated to finding her, and once again, if you have
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: any information, contact the Vermont State Police at eight oh
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: two five two four five nine nine three. Guys, any
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: tiny detail could crack this case wide open. It is oh,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I got the itchies. It takes one little nibble of
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: information that can connect all of this other information. So
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: if you know of anything, even if you think it's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a rumor, sometimes there's truth in rumors, please share that.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Also remember to share her missing poster or flyer that
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: is posted on our social media. So our next case
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: is the mysterious disappearance of Amber Ray Johnston. Now, she
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: is a woman with so much life ahead of her
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: who seemed to just disappear into thin air, leaving behind
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: as always more questions than answers. Now, Amber's case is haunting,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: but it's also filled with strange clues and dead ends.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So let's dive into this. Amber Rain Johnston was a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: thirty six year old when she vanished on August seventeenth,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. She was last seen in Bullhead City. Guys,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I like that name, Bullhead City. Can we make all
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the bull Headed people move to Bullhead City, Arizona? Sorry,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Bullhead City, Arizona. I just thought it'd be cute if
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: they all moved there anyway. Amber was five foot six
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and she weighed about one hundred and fifty pounds. She
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: had blonde or strawberry blonde colored hair, green eyes, and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: two tattoos. One was a black ink tattoo on the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: inside of her wrist and a flower on her ankle.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Her ears are also pierced. Now, Amber's story is one
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of confusion and heartbreak. At the time of her disappearance,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: she was living in an apartment in Bullhead City. That
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: all of her personal belongings were left behind, and guys,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: that odd detail would make anyone wonder. I mean, why
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: would someone leave everything they own behind? Guys, I want
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: you to think about this. I go out for a
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: walk in our neighborhood all the time. If I don't
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: show up, you know something happened to me. Because I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: would not leave all my belongings behind. I just wouldn't.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: There are things that if I took those things, doubleh
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: would be like, Oh no, she left because she wanted to,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: because she took this. Oh yeah, and she took the
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: dogs and the goat. So anytime someone goes missing and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: leaves everything behind, that in itself makes it very suspicious
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: to me. But let's rewind to August sixteenth. Amber's boyfriend
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: had moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Amber was
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: supposed to follow him there via a bus. Now, the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: next day, on August seventeenth, she was seen leaving, presumably
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: on her way to reunite with him. But guys, this
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: is where things get very blurry. Okay. On August nineteenth,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: she posted a Facebook live video. In the video, she
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: was on a bus, but it is unclear if she
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: was actually headed to Myrtle Beach or perhaps somewhere else
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: like Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which was also mentioned as a possible destination. Now,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: you might think the trail would be easy to follow
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: from here. After all, she's on a bus. There's a timestamp,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: there's tickets, maybe security footage. I think all bus terminals
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: have video footage. I could be wrong. I am naive
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: at times, but the truth is, no one knows if
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Amber ever made it to Myrtle Beach or even Pitts
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: or anywhere. The trail just vanishes. Now, what makes this
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: case even stranger is that after Amber disappeared, her food
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: stamp card was used by another woman. This woman claimed
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: that Amber's boyfriend had sold the card to her. Guys,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's against the law. Just so you know, now,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: this piece of information is startling. It does not lead
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: us to any concrete answers. I mean, was it a
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: desperate attempt for money? Was Amber in danger before she disappeared? Now,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: there were also reports in the months leading up to
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: her disappearance, Amber had been using drugs and exhibited signs
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: of paranorm paranoia. Could this have played a role into
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: what happened to her? Now, it's important to understand that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Amber's family has been searching hireless Lee for answers. Her
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: mother's continues to fight for her daughter's case to remain
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: in the spotlight, hoping someone somewhere will remember seeing her
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: or know something that can bring her home. It's cases
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: like this that leave us with so many what ifs.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: What if Amber was in danger and left everything behind
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: to escape. What if someone hurt her after she got
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: off that bus. What if someone accosted her from the bus.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Think about it. You're on a bus, someone you're talking
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to the bus to stop at places, stop to get off,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: to get a coat, go the restroom, and then did
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: something to her. I mean, what if she never made
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: it to her intended destination. Now she is still missing
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and her case remains unsolved, and she has family that
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: desperately needs answers, enclosures, and guys. I hope today's episode
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: shed some light on Amber's story and maybe just maybe
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: spark someone's memory. I also want to say, I want
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to know more about the boyfriend. Just going to be honest. Yes,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I know we often say it's always the boyfriend the husband.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I just want to know more about him, that's all.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying he was involved. I just want to
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: know why he's not out there screaming from the top
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of his lungs. But if you have any tips, make
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: that call. Okay, and if you or anyone you know
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: has information about Amber's disappearance, please contact the Bullhead City
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Police Department. Don't be bullheaded, just do it. Yes, Terry,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: true crime made a joke. Now you can call the
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: police department at nine two eight seven sixty three nine
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: two zero zero. And Guys, Amber's case, like all of
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the ones we cover, remind us that disappearances don't just
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: affect the person who vanishes. The ripple effect goes through
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the entire family, friend groups, communities. I mean, it affects everyone.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: So every lead matters, no matter how small. Okay, guys,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I warn you that I have an update, and I
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: want to share this update with you, But I'm warning
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you again I am pissed off, and that typically means
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I rant, hopefully not as bad as Nancy Grace. But
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: last month I told you about the family who adopted
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: several of the Turpen children and that that family was
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: arrested for abusing the children. Again, well, guys, Marcelino, his
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: wife Rosa, and their daughter Lenny's were sentenced for abusing
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the children. And let me just say the simptence sentence
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: is absolute in total bullshit in my opinion, and I
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: personally think the courts have abused these children again with
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: their sentence. Okay. So, back in twenty eighteen, the Olgan
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: family took in five of the minor Turpin children. Okay,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: they lived with Marcelino, his wife Rosa, and their adult
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: daughter Lenny's. Okay. In March of twenty twenty one, the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: three of them were arrested by the Riverside County Sheriff's
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: office for alleged sexual and physical abuse of their foster children. So,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: in addition to the five Turpin children, the Olgans abused
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: four other foster children. Okay, I'm not going to rehash
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: everything the family did, and I care about the four
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: foster children as much as the Turpin children, So don't
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: think I'm playing favorite what bothers they fuck out of me?
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Excuse my language. The Terpen children had gone through hell
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: by their own parents, and our system child protective system
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: should have made damn sure these kids went to a
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: home where they could get what they needed. Okay, So
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: they didn't just physically and sexually and mentally abuse them.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: They also made the children relive what happened to them
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: by their family, okay, made them revisit what was done
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: to them by their parents. Okay. These people are beyond
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: evil and I think they deserve to be put in
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: prison for thirty years for what they did. Okay, because
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: you re traumatized these five kids who had already been
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: through hell. They were put with you to be taken
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: care of. Why in the hell the system wasn't checking
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: on these kids every freaking day, belows my mind. They
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: were supposed to be a safe place, yet it was
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: another house of horrors. Okay. Plus they were abusing the
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: other four foster children. And guess what, guys, let me
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: tell you what the fucking state of California did. They
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: gave Marcelino the dad, seven years in prison. Seven. That's it.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: This man physically, mentally, and sexually abused these children. He
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: made them eat vomit made them relive what their parents
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: did to them, and he got seven years seven. Okay,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: it gets worse. His wife and daughter got four years probation, probation.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Excuse the fat of me, How in the hell is
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: that justice or punishment? I know, prison sentences in the
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: justice system is not revenge, but it is supposed to
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: be punishment. Seven years in prison in four years probation
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: is not justice. It is not punishment. It is a
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: freaking joke. And I feel so bad for the Urp
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: and children. Okay, I feel so bad for them now.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned last month, they are doing better. You know,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: they are rebuilding their lives. I sure in the hell
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: hope the state of California. I like California a lot.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: You guys need to take care of all of these children.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: You screwed them over again and you owe them. You
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: are just as accountable for them getting abused the second time,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and that's all the justice you basically Riverside courts told
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: these children what happened to you is worth seven years
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: in prison or four years probation. Tell me now, could
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: that not make them feel like they are not worth it?
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's not enough. It is not enough.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: It is a slap on the wrist. And my opinion
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and my heart hurts for all of the Turpin children. Okay.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to just say this, this is not
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: a threat, but that family Olgan's better hope I never
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: see them in public, because I can't say I will
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: remember to be kind. I tried to approach everything with kindness. Guys,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I have tried to dig down deep today. I can't
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: find any kindness to them. None. Yes, they pled guilty,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: but yes sweat. They play guilty because they got caught,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: not because they're sorry. So I don't know how to
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: be kind to them. So they better hope to God
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: when they get out. And I'm in California, I don't
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: see them, Okay, because how the hell anyone thinks that
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: is punishment or justice is beyond me. Okay, I am
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: going to ask you please research the Turpin children. Jordan
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: is on social media, she has a store, she does talking.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Let's support the Turpin family. Okay, Let's do what we
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: can because the state of California failed them. So I
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: am going to ask. I will find the links to
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the website. I will make sure me or somebody on
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: the team puts them out there because we as society
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: can do more for them than the state did. Okay, Okay, guys,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: I have to calm down because I am so angry.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: My head literally wants to spend and as you know,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I I've got to do that recording today, and I
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: don't think Brandy Diamond wants me all raging because I'm
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: here today. Yes, we are covering a case out of Austin,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and it's bad, but it is nothing like what was
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: done to the Turbin children. So I'm going to take
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: some deep breaths and I'm going to try really hard
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: to pack it in and put it right. Okay, So
• 30:26

• 30:29
