Transcript
- 0:02Yesterday, Lila Steins, who is now the 18 year old daughter of
- 0:07Sean Mickey Steins, the man who in Judge Mullins office shot and
- 0:12killed him, shot him nine times, has broken her silence for the
- 0:17first time in a pair of TikTok videos.
- 0:20And she has taken this opportunity to call out people
- 0:24like me and Elizabeth Jones from Hillbilly Crime.
- 0:28Let's get into it. This video contains mature
- 0:43themes and discussions intended only for adult audiences.
- 0:47Viewer discretion is advised. Well hello there my friend and
- 0:52welcome back to another true crime conversation here on my
- 0:57channel. My name is Gavin Fish and I'm
- 1:00joined tonight by my friend Elizabeth Jones.
- 1:06Hi, thanks for having me. Thanks for coming on.
- 1:10We love it when you're on. We love coming on.
- 1:14This is like OG territory. Well, I am glad you're here
- 1:22today. You know what I got OG today?
- 1:25Gisela from Grizzly Crime shouted.
- 1:29Grizzly Crime shouted me out today, which I thought was
- 1:32awfully sweet. So I love it.
- 1:34I love, you know, in the true crime sphere on YouTube, there
- 1:39are the cool channels that we just all get along and love each
- 1:42other, and then there are those that just don't seem to be able
- 1:45to get along. And it's just refreshing to have
- 1:48friends that that see the world as I do.
- 1:51Amen. I agree completely.
- 1:54Like minded people. Yes, hey, so just so everybody
- 2:01knows, let me bring up the I have, I have all my buttons here
- 2:06tonight. We're talking about the case of
- 2:09Judge Kevin Mullins. We've done something like 40
- 2:14videos on this. And Elizabeth, I know you've
- 2:16done way more coverage on this than anybody else, but just to
- 2:21give everybody a quick primer, Judge Kevin Mullins was a
- 2:25District Court judge in Letcher County, Kentucky when in
- 2:29September of last year, his sheriff, his, I don't know if
- 2:34you'd call them friends, but Co worker for a long, long time man
- 2:39named Sean Mickey Steins. Here he is in court.
- 2:43He walked into the judge's office and he went Bang Bang,
- 2:48pow pow 9 times and killed the judge.
- 2:54Now, there's been a lot of fallout in in Letcher County
- 2:59specifically because it seems like some stuff was going on out
- 3:04there that you wouldn't expect to go on.
- 3:08And so when we talked when we're talking about Lila Stein's, let
- 3:11me bring up a let's see. Hopefully you guys can see this.
- 3:15This is a TikTok video that we're going to watch here in a
- 3:18second. Lila Steins is now 18 years old.
- 3:20She is the daughter of Mickey Steins.
- 3:22There were rumors. And indeed, it wasn't just
- 3:25rumors, was it, Elizabeth? It was brought up in court in
- 3:29the preliminary hearing that there may have been an
- 3:33inappropriate relationship between Kevin Mullins and Lila
- 3:37Steins, who was a minor at the time.
- 3:40And I think that was kind of that rumor.
- 3:42And what they talked about in court was kind of bolstered by
- 3:45the fact that Mickey Stein's called her from Kevin Mullen's
- 3:50phone before he shot him. Am I?
- 3:53Am I saying that right? Am I characterizing that
- 3:55correctly you think? I think the phone, the phone
- 3:58call from the judge's chambers is what spawned that rumor about
- 4:07the judge. I think it was because everybody
- 4:11was trying to make sense of what had happened.
- 4:16And so I think kind of having the judge having the reputation
- 4:22that he had in the in the community and you accompany that
- 4:31with him, Mickey being so concerned with that phone call,
- 4:37with calling his daughter and then him using the judge's phone
- 4:44to actually make that phone call.
- 4:47I think all of that combined is what kind of led people to try
- 4:54and come up with a reason of why Mickey would have done what he
- 5:02did. Yeah, connecting dots that
- 5:05weren't necessarily there, right.
- 5:08Yeah. Well, and one of the things that
- 5:10I was thinking about is like when Taya Adams told her story,
- 5:15it became apparent to me that or at least it appeared to me
- 5:21apparent and appeared mean the same thing.
- 5:22OK. So either way, that well, one in
- 5:27Kentucky, the age of consent is 16 years old, not 18 years old.
- 5:33That that's one of the things that kind of hit me.
- 5:36And then you're right, the reputation of the judge for
- 5:40having relationships with with minors basically is certainly
- 5:45LED a lot of us down that path of thinking that there, there
- 5:49are dots here that need to be connected.
- 5:52Yeah, well, he was a womanizer, I reckon, you know, And he was
- 5:57married, you know, so. And his wife was very much
- 6:02younger than him as well. She was barely legal herself
- 6:08when they got married so. Yeah, yeah.
- 6:13Now we're going to get into her lawsuit a little bit hopefully
- 6:17while we're chatting here. By the way, guys, if you have
- 6:20not, if you haven't subscribed to Hillbilly Crime, there is a
- 6:25link in the description below. You should definitely subscribe
- 6:28and at the end of this live stream, you're going to be
- 6:30forwarded over to her channel as well because she's got she's got
- 6:34her live stream happening at 9:00 PM Eastern.
- 6:37Hey, how about we how about we watch this video and hopefully
- 6:44this will work. Hopefully you'll be able to to
- 6:46hear it. There are two videos.
- 6:48By the way, can I just say this is a lovely young woman.
- 6:53She should be a model crying out loud that when I look at Mickey
- 6:57Stein's, I don't think I, I don't think in these terms, but
- 7:00what a beautiful young woman. And, and like, I know that she's
- 7:05calling us out a little bit, but I'm kind of proud of her for,
- 7:10for sitting up and in front of a camera and saying what she said.
- 7:13I, I think it's actually pretty great.
- 7:15So let's, let's have a little look see at this real quick.
- 7:18Hopefully, hopefully that's work.
- 7:21Hello everyone, my name is Lila Stynes.
- 7:24I am 18 years old and I am from Letcher County, Kentucky.
- 7:29Most of you may know me and the others may recognize my last
- 7:35name on September 19th. A little over a year ago, a lot
- 7:46of people's lives changed forever, including that.
- 7:51I'm not gonna go into detail, I will not be talking about it,
- 7:56but I just have one question. Do you all not have anything
- 8:02better to do than to sit and gossip?
- 8:08You were taking my pain and making it your pleasure.
- 8:12You're taking our stories and turning them into big
- 8:15entertainment pieces, jokes, and for that matter.
- 8:20Looks like Elizabeth dropped off but we will get her back as soon
- 8:23as she dials back in. You're making it your income.
- 8:28Since when did that become OK? So my advice to the people doing
- 8:37that get a job, do something meaningful with your life and
- 8:47contribute to society in a positive way.
- 8:53That's all. OK, so that's her video and
- 8:56yeah, Elizabeth is having a few technical difficulties, so we'll
- 9:00have her back here in just a second.
- 9:02But let, before we get her commentary on that and let me go
- 9:07over to there before we get her commentary on that, let me just
- 9:13say this. I think that takes a lot of
- 9:17courage to to sit in front of a camera And so clearly,
- 9:23succinctly, and I know that the volume was a little low.
- 9:26That's that's just the volume on on TikTok.
- 9:29But to sit there and without breaking emotion, tell people
- 9:38how she thinks it is. Now having watched this now two
- 9:41or three times, I think maybe I've taken it a little too
- 9:46personally. Maybe she's not talking to
- 9:48people like, well, she, she's like making it hurt your job.
- 9:51So maybe, maybe she's talking to to us, but maybe she's also
- 9:57talking to a lot of locals that are, that are rumour mongering
- 10:02and gossiping. I am trying really hard on in my
- 10:06life and on my channel to not engage in that.
- 10:09Really my goal is to learn for the most part.
- 10:15And of course, true crime is a industry that is growing.
- 10:23It's really exploding. My my buddy Kenny said that it's
- 10:27ruined Netflix for him. And so there is a certain amount
- 10:31of entertainment, right? We are engaging in entertainment
- 10:35and there is that we can't we can't deny that, but we all also
- 10:43are trying to to learn together. We're trying to teach each one
- 10:48another, and I think that that's completely on limits.
- 10:53On limits. Is that even a saying the
- 10:55opposite of off limits. It it's OK for us to do that.
- 11:00Let me while we're waiting for Elizabeth and and I should have
- 11:03done this in the very beginning because you guys are are
- 11:06amazing, but just put GF in your in your in your comment that
- 11:12will help me see it. OK, let me see if I can bring up
- 11:14a couple of comments here. Grab a drink of water.
- 11:26OK Cassie says Gavin, I can understand Lila's perspective
- 11:29and I'm sorry she's feeling that way.
- 11:30Unfortunately her dad was involved in some unsavory
- 11:34dealings and it's going to be reported on.
- 11:38I feel the same way. Autumn Doyle, our intrepid
- 11:43moderator, our lead moderator. By the way, I'm going to
- 11:47sidetrack just for a second. OK, just for a moment.

- 12:04But wrong button. These are all the ways that you
- 12:08can support me, guys. Welcome back, Elizabeth.
- 12:09Glad you made it through. Let's Scroll down to the bottom
- 12:13and and buy Autumn a coffee. All right, Autumn.
- 12:16Autumn takes care of us. OK.
- 12:18Autumn's comment is she thought it was only going to be local
- 12:20people who saw it. She did not expect the video to
- 12:24blow up. What's the numbers on it?
- 12:28I I ain't even looked. 34,000 likes it looks like 84.
- 12:37Let's see no one and a half million views one and a half
- 12:40million plays. Hello.
- 12:42What's her? What's her followers?
- 12:45Yeah, she she's now at almost. She's at 9099 followers.
- 12:51I knew it, I knew it now see, this is what I think whenever I
- 12:57first saw the first video. Have you haven't played the
- 13:00second one yet? Not yet, Not yet.
- 13:03When I heard when I first saw the first one, I got a little
- 13:07offended. I have to say I did on the get a
- 13:12job part and do something meaningful in your, you know,
- 13:16with your life. And you know, those, those three
- 13:20things that she said there at the end, that kind.
- 13:23And one of the things that I always say is, you know, if the
- 13:26shoe fits, honey, you know, lace it up and wear it.
- 13:32That shoe fit. It fit me like a glove.
- 13:35So I responded to it. I understand.
- 13:42She's she's not even, you know, we say she's 18.
- 13:46She just turned 18 too, you know, she's still so young.
- 13:52And yes, she is a beautiful girl.
- 13:56She's always been beautiful, her and her mommy through the years.
- 14:01They've always done like little modeling shoots, you know, you
- 14:05could see her out posing, you know, and her mommy and take
- 14:09pictures of her and stuff. Which, honey, if I had a
- 14:12daughter that looked like her, I'd do that too.
- 14:14You know, I just proud I'd be wanting to take pictures of her
- 14:19all the time. Well.
- 14:22I kind of figure her with her age, there is a certain amount
- 14:27of grace that I'm going to extend her because if any of
- 14:31y'all knew me at 18, many of y'all would like me.
- 14:36Me too, me too. So I, I, I think, I think about
- 14:40the adults that were in my life when I was 1617, eighteen, 1920
- 14:45years old, right around in there, right, man, the patients
- 14:50that they had, they had to extend.
- 14:54And, and so I don't know that I'm even offended at all because
- 14:59because of the person that it's coming from.
- 15:00And that is not a slide on her that just the age of the person
- 15:04that it's coming from. But also, I mean, that's got to
- 15:08suck day in and day out. Her dad's on trial for the
- 15:12murder of of Kevin Mullins. Yeah, but this is my thing.
- 15:19I think the anger has been unfairly instead of, you know,
- 15:26the focus being on all this corruption, the crimes that have
- 15:31been committed and the victims, like we are talking in the
- 15:37hundreds of victims here because it's not, it's not been just
- 15:43sexual abuse. You know, this has been
- 15:46financial. This has been, you know, you
- 15:50name it, what direction it goes into.
- 15:53Abuse of the legal system, Yeah. Yeah, it's been it's an
- 15:56organized, it's an organized crime syndicate here that we are
- 16:01talking about now. I noticed this social media
- 16:08trend several years ago. I recognized it.
- 16:12I saw what what path it was kind of taking.
- 16:17And like I said in my own testimony, I was like, hmm, I
- 16:22can do that. I can do what they're doing.
- 16:26And so I, you know, I kind of jumped onto it and now I'm on a
- 16:31year into it. So I've got a little bit of
- 16:33experience, you know, not much, but I got a little bit and I see
- 16:38that I can I see the same thing for anybody else that wants to
- 16:43do it. I recommend everybody start on
- 16:45my YouTube channel. I think anybody that's over 35
- 16:50years old, you have enough life experience in something, some
- 16:57thing that you could do a show on, you know, your own little
- 17:02thing. TikTok nowadays.
- 17:04I mean, you could, you can make money, make a, an income just
- 17:10videoing yourself, making your coffee in the morning.
- 17:15I mean, if you can make it a creative enough way to where
- 17:18people want to watch it, you know you're going to be able to
- 17:23get a, you're going to create your own job.
- 17:26Yeah, we shouldn't be ashamed of that, right?
- 17:28I mean. No, a YouTube everybody and I
- 17:32knew that I was going to have to go through this, this period of,
- 17:37you know, time where everybody, I was going to be completely
- 17:41socially, socially isolated people were going to, you know,
- 17:45I was going to have to face these people in the grocery
- 17:47store. I'm going to have to face these
- 17:50people in Walmart, you know, you, whatever you have to, you
- 17:55know, be willing to go through the and, and live the
- 18:00consequences of it. But I knew that this was just
- 18:05going to take a, a, an introduction period.
- 18:08You know, it was just going to, it was new.
- 18:10It was something new that people weren't used to around here.
- 18:14And so I, I kind of felt like a trailblazer.
- 18:17I still do. I still do feel like we're,
- 18:20we're trying to do something that's never been done before.
- 18:24You know we are crowdsourcing our own investigation into
- 18:29Letcher County corruption. And that is new for sure.
- 18:32And I, I have to say that anytime, not just not just Lila
- 18:38Stein's here, who again, she just, she just looks like a
- 18:43delightful young woman. So no slide on her.
- 18:45I think she's probably awesome. But anytime like I'm thinking
- 18:50about the Riverside County District Attorney and the
- 18:55sheriff being so angry in the Emanuel Harrow case at all the
- 18:59social media and lumping us all together.
- 19:02And I thought, well, yeah, he's talking about me.
- 19:04But what he's really talking about are all the people on in
- 19:09that case. It was all TikTok that are just
- 19:12rumor mongering, right? And I think that I think that
- 19:16the long form format of YouTube lends itself to longer periods
- 19:24of reasoning things out. I'm trying to figure things out
- 19:29over the course of a long conversation instead of a just,
- 19:34you know, 10. Seconds, yeah.
- 19:37Repeating rumors that that were long ago debunked.
- 19:41But like we said in the beginning, Elizabeth, I don't
- 19:43think that it's unreasonable that we thought those things in
- 19:47the beginning before we before we had more information.
- 19:51Yeah, no, I don't think it was unreasonable at all that that
- 19:55was the first thing that was brought out.
- 19:57You know, there were other there's been other things that
- 20:02have kind of been skipped over as well with this whole thing.
- 20:09She, this second video that she does, she did a much better job
- 20:14like the second one. She really did good in this one
- 20:19and. And I it kind of made me think,
- 20:26I don't think she was talking about me well.
- 20:29Let's see what she and I'm sorry the volume is a little bit
- 20:32lower, but let's play it real quick.
- 20:35Come on here today to address a couple things about yesterday's
- 20:40video. When I posted that video, I only
- 20:44had about 950 followers. I did not think it would go
- 20:49anywhere. I thought, you know, people from
- 20:51home's going to see it, maybe a couple others and that'll be
- 20:54that. So the first thing I want to say
- 20:57is I had good intentions with that video.
- 21:01A lot of you were asking what stories, what do you mean by
- 21:06gossip? And what I mean by that is the
- 21:10stories that were made-up about me and the other party.
- 21:12And that is where the gossip comes in at.
- 21:15I wasn't actually talking about the situation and what actually
- 21:19happened itself. I was more leaning towards the
- 21:23rumors that had been spread about me.
- 21:26I am aware of how serious this is and how much of a big deal it
- 21:30is. I was not talking about news or
- 21:33social media. I was simply talking about the
- 21:36people who sit at home behind a keyboard all day and say
- 21:41terrible things about my name. That's who I was talking about.
- 21:47At the end of the day, I'm just human.
- 21:49I'm just trying to learn how to process and cope with it all.
- 21:53I do want to add one more thing a lot of you were saying.
- 21:57Girl, this happened a year ago. Like why are you still going on
- 22:00about it? I think this is a good point.
- 22:01I knew it happened a year ago. For me, when I wake up, it's the
- 22:05first thing I see on my phone, it's the last thing I see when I
- 22:09lay down and I'm not looking for it.
- 22:10It's just right in my face. I have to deal with it every day
- 22:13when I wake up. So no, it's not gone, it's not
- 22:17died down. It won't for a while.
- 22:20Yeah, she's probably right. It probably won't die down for a
- 22:23good long time for her. But here's the thing.
- 22:28Now see, this is where I'm the bad guy.
- 22:30I I feel like, oh, lay it on me, Elizabeth Jones, bad guy.
- 22:33I'm ready. I.
- 22:34Feel like I'm the big bad wolf here.
- 22:37You know, she's lived such a sheltered life.
- 22:42You know that, that I mean, which this is huge, but how many
- 22:47of us lost our dads? You know, how many of us had
- 22:51perv dads? Or you know, how many of us were
- 22:56went through tragedy after tragedy after tragedy?
- 23:00You know, we were just human, too.
- 23:03Nobody was stopping and nobody give a damn that we had kids,
- 23:08you know, or nobody cared to splatter us all over the
- 23:11newspaper. And nobody cared, you know,
- 23:15nobody was stepping out and trying to help us.
- 23:19And you know what I mean? There were there's so many
- 23:21people that have been through such horrible traumas in their
- 23:27life. And like a lot of these SA
- 23:30victims, you know, I'm a survivor of sexual abuse.
- 23:35I'm also a survivor of domestic violence.
- 23:40We, we also every day, it's the first thing that you think of
- 23:47when you wake up and it's the last thing that you think about
- 23:50before you go to bed, you know, usually crying yourself to sleep
- 23:55and you know, a lot. I think that there's just so
- 23:58many of us. And whenever something like this
- 24:03happens, then I feel like it's just there's so much compassion
- 24:12and there's so much grace and there's so much open doors for
- 24:20them, you know, and their grief. And it's like, well, what about
- 24:25everybody else? You know, What makes them and
- 24:28their grief so special, so much more special than everybody
- 24:32else's? Is that bad?
- 24:34Is that horrible? It's me.
- 24:36No, it's not. I I don't want to give like, OK,
- 24:41I have a response to this, but I'm going to be careful because
- 24:45it's not really my story to tell, but OK, I have AI have a
- 24:50cousin who is just as much a brother to me as my brothers.
- 24:54My parents and my grandparents raised him and, and I love him
- 24:58to death and, and, and he is, you know, he's he's amazing.
- 25:04He's terrific anyway. And then my own father lost his
- 25:09dad when he was like 7 years old.
- 25:12And so the story is that my cousin was kind of like
- 25:16complaining to my dad. Why, why does my life have to be
- 25:19so hard? How come Gavin like got parents
- 25:22that loved him? And how come, you know, my, my
- 25:25life was so hard? And my dad was like, you're not
- 25:30the first person who has ever had to struggle with their
- 25:34parents. My dad died.
- 25:38I was seven years old. I've lived without a father for
- 25:41however many years it was at the time, right.
- 25:44And, but think about, think about me and Aunt Shawna and
- 25:49Grandpa and grandma and all the other people who love you, you
- 25:52know, so it's like that. I think that is, I think it's a
- 25:54natural thing in youth to, to want to commiserate.
- 26:01And maybe this is kind of a modern phrase for it, but like
- 26:08just kind of bathe in your victimhood a little bit.
- 26:11I, I think that's a natural thing when you're, when you're
- 26:14younger and it takes long experience of going through
- 26:19really hard things to be able to recognize.
- 26:23Oh my goodness. Although all around me there are
- 26:25people going through really hard things.
- 26:29I don't know. That's kind of my point.
- 26:32That's kind of my point. Judge Mullins's wife kind of
- 26:39chased me around Jenkins one time months ago.
- 26:45It's been months ago. But you know, she she didn't
- 26:49want to be on my show. Of course, you know, she wanted
- 26:53to yell at me and make a scene and try and shame and embarrass
- 27:01me in front of everybody, which it didn't turn out the way that
- 27:05she thought it was going to. You know, I'm a very nice
- 27:12person, I think, but you get what you give me.
- 27:17You know, if you come at me in a certain way, you're going to get
- 27:22it right back. And I don't think she'd ever had
- 27:25any bark, anybody bark right back at her, you know, And it,
- 27:31it just didn't turn out the way that she thought it was going to
- 27:35do. And then the other night, and
- 27:36then the other night last week. I'm not going to say who it was
- 27:43yet, but another one of Mullins is Harem.
- 27:50Harem is that? Is that the word that you used?
- 27:53That that's what I'm going to call it tonight.
- 27:56Anyway, She has a child that is also at our school and we were
- 28:05up there picking up our kids from ball practice.
- 28:09And she decided that she would confront me and said that why
- 28:16was I using this picture, this specific picture?
- 28:21And I was like, and at first I didn't even know who she was.
- 28:26I had no idea who I was like hi, how are you?
- 28:32And she said who she was and I still didn't even put it
- 28:35together. I was like, well it's nice to
- 28:37meet you. And finally she was shaking all
- 28:42over, just shaking. And she's very passive
- 28:45aggressive. You could tell she was pissed
- 28:49and she was wanting to confront me, but she was not loud.
- 28:54She I get real excited. If I was doing something like
- 28:57that, my voice would get raised, you know, and you'd probably
- 29:00think I was yelling at you. But really it was, it's just the
- 29:03excitement, you know, the adrenaline or whatever.
- 29:06She never did her she, her voice never did get raised up or
- 29:10anything. And I bet when she said it I was
- 29:14like, hmm, I know what picture you're talking about, I said.
- 29:18But I've only used that once or twice in a thumbnail and I'm
- 29:24pretty good about blurring the faces on those.
- 29:32And Oh no you didn't. Oh no you didn't.
- 29:35And then her kid came out and started yelling at me and they
- 29:41said they had screenshots of this.
- 29:43They had screenshots. Well, I went home and I
- 29:47specifically went looking for that.
- 29:50And it was just like I thought, they don't watch my show.
- 29:55They didn't have no screenshot of nothing because I'd only used
- 29:59it two times in over 400 videos. And it was only in a thumbnail
- 30:05and I had blurred the faces just like I thought I had.
- 30:10And so they did. They they come at you with false
- 30:15information, you know, like what you're saying, what you're
- 30:19accusing me of ain't even true. It's the same thing what Matt
- 30:23Butler did, you know, that I'd put his kids and the judges kids
- 30:29all over the Internet. Anybody that watches my show
- 30:34knows I've never done that, you know, so.
- 30:37The. I forget what got me on that.
- 30:41Well, there are there is a group of butt hurted people like in
- 30:47here in western Pennsylvania, not in the county in which I
- 30:49live. There is a county commissioner
- 30:53who thinks that I'm out to get him.
- 30:56Like why? Why did you write that, Gavin?
- 30:58Well, because it's true. I wrote it.
- 31:01I wrote it because it's true. And sometimes it's not even
- 31:05something that I necessarily believe, but somebody said it
- 31:07and I report reported that somebody said it.
- 31:10And it's like every time his name is in an article that I
- 31:14write, I get nasty like texts and and emails and stuff like,
- 31:23yeah, they're just people that that tend to be butt hurt.
- 31:27And it's very, very interesting. They're not watching anyway, You
- 31:33know they're not watching the show.
- 31:36Hey, so Speaking of Kevin Mullins, wife Kimberly, I don't
- 31:40have a picture of Kimberly Mullins ready to go here, but
- 31:46here is Judge Mullins. She has filed A lawsuit against
- 31:50Mickey Stein's and other members of the Sheriff's Department,
- 31:53right? What is that lawsuit all about?
- 31:56So she has a filed suit against Mickey and the rest of the
- 32:03deputies that work there, Lashawna Frazier and Christine
- 32:09Bolin. And Christine Bolin is the girl
- 32:11that had her hands all over Mickey's face, you know, trying
- 32:15to get him not to talk after the shooting in the hallway.
- 32:19Yeah. And so her and the other court
- 32:24security officer, Jason Eccles, Now Jason Eccles is, yeah,
- 32:29that's his wife. Now, if you look how much
- 32:33younger she is than him, I mean, she's out of age.
- 32:36And in the court hearing, this last one after the shooting and
- 32:42stuff, she was sitting with her sister behind the prosecutor,
- 32:48with the victim's advocate. And everybody that was on the
- 32:52live stream thought that the victim's advocate was his wife
- 32:57and that the 2 girls sitting there for.
- 33:00His daughters. And I had to kind of explain,
- 33:05no? Yeah, Kevin had a, Kevin had a
- 33:12type that that type was age limited.
- 33:17Seems that that's what it seems to me.
- 33:20There's been a lot of rumors. Now, I don't know.
- 33:24There's a there's like whole children walking around that are
- 33:30proof of, you know, infidelity. Oh.
- 33:35Yeah. Oh, yeah, From what I've been,
- 33:38from what I understand, there's one for sure, and there's
- 33:44whispers of two or three others. I figured once he died, whoever
- 33:50the mothers were of those children would try and, you
- 33:57know, at least have them legitimized.
- 34:03Maybe they're still, maybe they're afraid.
- 34:05You know, I, I could see, you know, that would be 1 hell of a
- 34:10fight. I bet.
- 34:12Forward now and say. Game of Thrones style fighting.
- 34:16I got Mullins, his love child. Yeah, yeah.
- 34:21Well, OK, so she it's basically a wrong, wrongful death suit,
- 34:26right That she is. I got sidetracked, yes.
- 34:30No, that's OK. My middle name is Tangent.
- 34:32It's cool. She.
- 34:35Filed the suit saying that they had a duty to warn her husband
- 34:41about Mickey's mental health and I guess that she's saying they
- 34:46had a duty to warn him that he was going to shoot him is that?
- 34:52OK, now the motion to dismiss was pretty compelling.
- 34:58Yeah, they said that there is no duty to warn.
- 35:03Yeah, that, I mean, it's codified into Kentucky State law
- 35:07and and there's Supreme Court precedent, right?
- 35:11So I wonder, I wonder how that'll go.
- 35:15I sent you those did. You read?
- 35:18I've read, yeah. Yeah.
- 35:21Yeah, that's it's, it's an ugly, ugly time down there in Letcher
- 35:26County. Let's see what other people are
- 35:27saying down here. See what?
- 35:29See what questions we have. So let me say something the
- 35:35other night I said I kind of feel sorry for I'm, I feel a
- 35:39little sorry for Ben. And man, everybody thought I'd
- 35:43been abducted by aliens. You, you felt sorry for Ben.
- 35:48Let me kind of clarify what I'm. In we're talking Ben fields.
- 35:52Yeah, let me clarify what I meant by that.
- 35:55I didn't mean that I feel sorry for him.
- 35:58You know, like what I meant is what, from what I've understood,
- 36:04this guy never had any girlfriends.
- 36:07He never had any kind of experience in the girls
- 36:13department. You know.
- 36:16He was very green and you know what?
- 36:20Innocent, you know, he just didn't know much.
- 36:22He hadn't never been exposed and then you know, to a lot.
- 36:26OK, so imagine him getting this job and getting exposed to all
- 36:33this freak sex with all these bigwigs and all this sneaky
- 36:39stuff going on. And you got to think how he
- 36:42married his wife too. How he met his wife.
- 36:44Oh yeah. His wife met in the courthouse.
- 36:46Well, she was a guard at the jail and she was married.
- 36:50Well, he started sleeping with they start having an affair and
- 36:54the next thing you know, and they're having sex in the
- 36:57courthouse. So the I think this is all
- 37:00learned behavior. And if you take somebody who's
- 37:05who doesn't have any experience and who's been kind of sheltered
- 37:09all their life, I know who his family is.
- 37:12And his mother is like very like cornbread and potatoes, you
- 37:19know, like they are the women. I don't know about the men, but
- 37:26the women are, are really well thought of.
- 37:30You know, they're, they're really well thought of people in
- 37:33the community. Let me ask you this.
- 37:36I'm going to ask I. I don't know a delicate way to
- 37:38say this, but no, what is the right way to say?
- 37:45I'm not like APC kind of guy, but I also just want to be like
- 37:49compassionate here. When I look at Ben Fields, I
- 37:52don't necessarily see like like a lesson.
- 37:59I don't see like a Rhodes scholar I guess is what I'm
- 38:01saying. Yeah.
- 38:04Is he kind of simple minded too? I think so.
- 38:09I think so. But his mother is a very
- 38:13accomplished woman, like she's been, she's been associated with
- 38:23like the Cowan Community Center, which is a huge, huge deal, you
- 38:30know, in their little community. But what I meant by that is, you
- 38:35know, you take somebody who doesn't have any experience
- 38:38sexually or in any kind of. Relationally, yeah.
- 38:43And you put them in this environment and everybody that
- 38:48they're seeing and these are like their coworkers and these
- 38:51are their bosses and these are like really important people and
- 38:56they're doing all these things. Wouldn't that like you?
- 39:00Like, I feel like he learned. I feel like he had some really
- 39:04horrible supervisors and really horrible people that influenced
- 39:11him in really bad ways, you know, I mean, you know, he's the
- 39:15one who made the decisions that he made.
- 39:18He didn't have to go along with that.
- 39:21Now, if I saw my coworkers doing that kind of stuff, I'm not
- 39:24going to join them, you know, So he he he has to, you know, I
- 39:30don't feel sorry for him and in that way whatsoever.
- 39:34I just meant, you know, like that really would have to suck
- 39:38coming in having everything like they.
- 39:41He had everything that he could have ever wanted or asked for.
- 39:47He had such a great position. He had doors that were just open
- 39:52any which way he wanted to go and look at what ended up
- 39:58happening. Yeah, that is pretty sad.
- 40:02You know, I don't. Again, he is responsible for his
- 40:06actions. Yeah, as a younger man, like
- 40:12again, going back to say, I know that he was older than this, but
- 40:15if you take Gavin Fish when he's 1718 years old, yeah, I could
- 40:17have turned out to be a horrible person if I were surrounded by
- 40:22horrible people. You take 40 or 50 year old Gavin
- 40:26and I go into a place surrounded by horrible people.
- 40:28I just I just turn around and walk out, right.
- 40:32I'm not going to not going to be part of that.
- 40:35Something I used to say whenever I turned my life around and I
- 40:40started, I was probably five years into it.
- 40:44I guess maybe this was something, this was like my
- 40:47quote. I used to have this like on my
- 40:49LinkedIn, you know, I thought I was something.
- 40:53Surround yourself with the people that you aspire to be.
- 41:00Yes, yes. I forget exactly the whole
- 41:05quote, but that was basically it.
- 41:07Whatever you ohh, whatever you aspire to be in life, surround
- 41:13yourself with. That's it.
- 41:17So if you wanted to be a teacher or you know, if you wanted to be
- 41:21in school, you wanted to be a student, then you need to
- 41:24surround yourself with like minded people.
- 41:28You need to surround yourself with other students.
- 41:30Yeah, we we tell our kids. I probably lay it on a little
- 41:35too thick to our oldest son because I just really think that
- 41:38he needs a girlfriend bad, but I'd love him to death.
- 41:43But. Yes, but we've told our kids our
- 41:47their entire lives. Look, you can you can marry or
- 41:51or have a relationship with a dentist just as easy as you can
- 41:57with an unemployed idiot. The difference is where you put
- 42:02yourself right? If you hang out with a bunch of
- 42:05like this is so judgy, but if you if you hang out with the
- 42:10scum of the earth, that is who you will end up with.
- 42:12If you spend your time in dental conventions, that is who you'll
- 42:17end up with, right? You have to and it's the same
- 42:19thing. You have to surround yourself.
- 42:20Hey, we just got a Willow Maker or Willow Miller, not Willow
- 42:25Maker, says Lila. Just put up a new video with a
- 42:28private investigative number for info on corruption.
- 42:30Let let's watch this. Should we real quick?
- 42:33Awesome. Yes, hello.
- 42:35Everyone, this is my friend Ashley, and she just made a
- 42:39video about our private investigator Joel Cotton.
- 42:45I have his e-mail. I will leave it in the
- 42:47description down below. If you all have any information
- 42:51at all concerning the corruption in this county, in this small
- 42:56town, please reach out to him. Please.
- 43:01He's not only trying to help the situation that happened here,
- 43:05he's also trying to help Ashley figure out what happened to her
- 43:08dad years ago. I also want to say if there is
- 43:12anybody out there saying he is misrepresenting himself, I can
- 43:17name two people. I want to tell you that he is
- 43:20not. He is legitimate.
- 43:22He is the real deal and he's trying to help everyone in this
- 43:25small county. OK.
- 43:28Hello. Everyone.
- 43:29Joe Cotton is that? What is that the name she used?
- 43:32What do you think about Mr. Cotton?
- 43:35He is, he is a private investigator.
- 43:38He's actually the private investigator who's working for
- 43:43her dad for Mickey Stein's case. But that's not the only one.
- 43:49You know, he, I think he's doing a lot of work in this county
- 43:55trying to get, trying to find out information.
- 44:00Right after I think he came to town.
- 44:04I was late to the new to the party.
- 44:07I didn't know that he had even come.
- 44:10I didn't know who he was. I didn't know he was in town.
- 44:13I didn't know anything about him.
- 44:15And I saw a post from Matt Butler, the prosecutor, the
- 44:21briber in law of Judge Mullins, my bestie, and.
- 44:27Your bestie? Yeah.
- 44:31I wear my elect Matt Butler shirts all the time.
- 44:38He, he put a post up and said there's somebody going around
- 44:44pretend or saying that they claiming to be an investigator,
- 44:53but we don't know anything about it.
- 44:56They're not an investigator with our office, you know, and who.
- 45:00Cares as if. Yeah, but he was doing that to
- 45:05try and make people not talk to him.
- 45:08That's what doing that for and which I think was very
- 45:13inappropriate for a prosecutor. Yeah, it is 100%, yeah.
- 45:21That's is the real deal. He's the real deal, yeah.
- 45:25Have you ever talked to him? I have.
- 45:27Yeah, I'd like to have him on. Let's talk about corruption in
- 45:32Letcher County. That would be fun.
- 45:34Yes, yeah, sure. But.
- 45:37You know, the more the more I'm seeing Lila and I've watched the
- 45:40videos a couple times each now. Yeah, I'm OK with her being
- 45:45upset. I mean, listen, we're all, we're
- 45:52all, we've all got an opinion. We're all, we're all entitled to
- 45:57it. This is my opinion on her.
- 46:01I think that she could change the world.
- 46:05I think that she has everything that she needs to be successful
- 46:15in anything that she wanted to do.
- 46:17But using it, if she using this platform that she's getting
- 46:24ready to have, honey, her platform's getting ready to go
- 46:29off the charts. And she'll never have to work a
- 46:32day in her life other than her platforms.
- 46:38I mean, it's a job. People that think this ain't no
- 46:40job, you can tell they ain't never done it.
- 46:43Yeah. It's it's definitely work.
- 46:46Did it for everybody. Yeah, I I don't know that
- 46:51people, people know how hard this job is.
- 46:54Yeah, no, they don't. But she has an opportunity and
- 47:00see, that's what I mean, people from here, because we are so
- 47:03stuck up in the mountains, we're like the last people to ever
- 47:07catch any trends or anything. You know, like we just, we're
- 47:12unlearned. I don't want to say ignorant,
- 47:14but we are, we're unlearned. And I, I saw it and I knew that
- 47:20it would just take a while. But, and here's my thing too,
- 47:25the money that we make as creators, it's not money coming
- 47:30from this community. We are bringing money from the
- 47:35entire world and then we're spending it in this community.
- 47:41So we are, we are doing a good service.
- 47:45You would think we me and you've talked about this before, but my
- 47:50dream, like my dream really is to start a creator studio where
- 47:57I have like a little kitchen studio set up and have like a
- 48:01little living room studio set. Like have maybe four or five
- 48:05different kind of little backgrounds and studio set up in
- 48:10one building to where you could, where I could help people start
- 48:17their own stuff, you know, and help teach people what to do.
- 48:21Because, you know, you know, as well as I do, there's a lot of
- 48:25investment, you know, when you're running your own
- 48:28business, This is a business. You have to spend money to make
- 48:32money. Yeah, I the the amount of money
- 48:35I spend just and it doesn't seem yeah, I don't have to totally
- 48:41get into it, but yeah, the amount of money that I spend on
- 48:43the monthly to keep the YouTube channel alive is would would
- 48:47probably be surprising to a lot of people, but I hope that that.
- 48:52It's a business. I hope that Miss Lila can.
- 48:56I hope she can build up her followers, and I hope that she
- 49:00can. I mean, she she's she presents
- 49:03herself well. She looks nice.
- 49:05She speaks well. Her little Southern accent is
- 49:08adorable. Yeah, I hopefully that hopefully
- 49:12she will, she will turn this into something for herself.
- 49:16I think it's pretty cool. I think it's really cool.
- 49:19She's very educated. She's like a governor scholar,
- 49:23you know, she's had, she's had every door an opportunity open
- 49:27to her, you know, always that's. Terrific.
- 49:31She has a really great path and a bright future.
- 49:35Hey, who is Ashley Blair? The the person that she's has up
- 49:40on the screen there, do you know?
- 49:42Ashley yeah, Ashley Blair is the one.
- 49:46Her daddy was Jackie Blair. Her daddy was the one that was
- 49:50wrapped in jumper cables and his car was pushed over a, a
- 49:55mountain back in the 80s, I think 80s or 90s.
- 50:00And that was part of this corruption.
- 50:03Like I've had lots of people that have reached out to me
- 50:07about his case, but I don't, you know, she has been, Ashley's
- 50:11been very vocal on her father's case and stuff, you know, and I
- 50:15don't ever want to step on her toes talking about that.
- 50:19You know, that's her, that's kind of her thing.
- 50:21And so, but anybody who's interested in that, I mean, we
- 50:27cover it a little bit, you know, loosely generally, but anybody
- 50:31who is interested in that case particular Ashley Blair, she
- 50:39really does a great job presenting it and staying on it.
- 50:45And that consistency is key. Yeah, yeah.
- 50:49Cool. What are you talking about on
- 50:50your channel tonight? In about 15 minutes you're going
- 50:53to start up. What are you guys covering
- 50:54tonight? So well, I'm kind of doing a
- 50:59recap of what me and you just. Did.
- 51:01Yeah. Well, good.
- 51:03That's good. But we're also going to look at
- 51:09another case. There's a Kentucky State trooper
- 51:12that was shot and on duty and some strangers passer bys saved
- 51:20his life or saved their life and it shows the body Cam footage
- 51:27and stuff. So we're going to kind of watch
- 51:29that and just, you know, every it I don't want to sometimes I
- 51:37don't want to do a show. You know, I don't.
- 51:40I do a show seven days a week. It's a lot.
- 51:44But I have to if I want to make enough money to pay my bills
- 51:49every month, you know, if I want to keep my show going.
- 51:54And this is a machine, you know, like I don't have the luxury to
- 51:59take a week off. I was thinking before we wrap up
- 52:05here, maybe we should just have you and me and Tabez together on
- 52:11my channel and just shoot the ball there.
- 52:15You go just I love him. Just I, I haven't, I haven't
- 52:18talked to him yet besides the little chat group that that you
- 52:21started, I think accidentally, but it was, it's kind of
- 52:23awesome. Maybe the three of us should
- 52:26just get on and and shoot the breeze and talk about all the
- 52:30different things. I love that he's a researcher.
- 52:34He's a researcher. Is he like a professional
- 52:38researcher or is? Well, I mean, what does
- 52:43professional mean? He's, I don't know, I'm a
- 52:45professional Quibbler. I'm a waffler.
- 52:52I do that professionally as well.
- 52:54I have lots of career paths. Yeah.
- 52:58Yeah. Well, yeah, we should.
- 53:00We should, we should get that set up because I like I like
- 53:04conversations. The videos with you, Elizabeth,
- 53:06are way more fun than me sitting and alone talking.
- 53:10It's just it's way more fun to get different perspectives and
- 53:14chitchat about things. I do especially like it when we
- 53:17quibble. I like that we haven't done that
- 53:20much tonight. No, that's OK.
- 53:24We're next time. Yeah, there's always next time.
- 53:28All right, Elizabeth Jones, everybody.
- 53:30As soon as we finish up here, it will forward on to her channel.
- 53:34I suggest that you hang out with her during her live stream.
- 53:38Thanks for coming on, Elizabeth. Thanks, Gavin.
- 53:41We will see you later. OK, guys, Elizabeth is the best.
- 53:48Is she not the best? Go and check out her channel,
- 53:52Hillbilly Crime. It's linked down in the
- 53:53description below. And yeah, support her.
- 53:59I, I guess my, my final thought, let me see if there are a couple
- 54:01of comments that you guys may have left that I, that I didn't
- 54:05get to couple things. Matthew says Lily is throwing
- 54:12herself in the spotlight, has a lot of eyes on her right now.
- 54:14It's all up to her. What happens to her channel
- 54:16calling people out, telling them to get a real job doesn't look
- 54:18good. I agree.
- 54:20But she's 18. She'll figure it out.
- 54:25She seems like a smart girl. She'll figure it out a couple
- 54:29more. We need Elizabeth's show every
- 54:30night or our evenings aren't complete and we need our evening
- 54:34blessings. Indeed, indeed.
- 54:38Sabrina says, love you truth tellers.
