Latest / True Crime with Gavin Fish / The Question Police Still Haven’t Answered | The Hollywood Homicide of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer
Transcript
- 0:02Well, here we are, December 30th, couple weeks past the
- 0:07brutal murders of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Singer Reiner
- 0:13and the LAPD is up to their old tricks that we started seeing in
- 0:18the Michelle, not, I'm sorry, Celeste Rivas Hernandez case.
- 0:24Let's talk about it. Stick with me.
- 0:38This video contains mature themes and discussions intended
- 0:41only for adult audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.
- 0:47Hello there, my friend, and welcome back to another true
- 0:51crime conversation with me. My name is Gavin.
- 0:54How are you? How do you do?
- 0:56It's nice to meet you. Thank you for joining me
- 0:58wherever you're joining me from. And please tell me in the
- 1:02comments where you're joining me from.
- 1:05I just absolutely love it. I love seeing all the different
- 1:08places where you guys TuneIn. Hey, today we are back to
- 1:14discussing the murder of Hollywood legend and icon Rob
- 1:20Reiner and his equally as impressive wife Michelle Singer,
- 1:25the photographer, the producer who on December 14th, just about
- 1:30two weeks ago were discovered, I don't want to say slashed or
- 1:36stabbed because we don't know that we don't know we what we
- 1:40know is that they died by sharp force instrument and they were
- 1:46discovered by their daughter Romy, who then called 911 and
- 1:52and we know the rest. We know the rest.
- 1:55It's a sad, sad story. The the Reiners were murdered
- 2:02allegedly. And I guess what we should say
- 2:05is the accused murderer is their son, 32 year old Nick Reiner,
- 2:11who has, according to reports, a history, a long history of
- 2:19substance abuse issues and mental illness.
- 2:22Now we've talked about this on the channel at length and I want
- 2:28to be sure that you guys, you know, you stay classy in the
- 2:31comments. I know you guys do.
- 2:33I know you do. This is the best chat on
- 2:35YouTube, right? And we've got such amazing
- 2:38moderators that keep everything classy.
- 2:40But everything that we do in this case, we want to follow
- 2:45the, what would we call it? Not an admonition, A pleading
- 2:51from the rhiner's children that all speculation, everything that
- 2:57we talked about in this case, be tempered with compassion and
- 3:01humanity. And that's exactly what we want
- 3:04to do here. Before we get too far, let's see
- 3:07where you guys are tuning in from.
- 3:10Let's see, we got Wilmington, NC in the house.
- 3:13You know, I used to work for a company based in Wilmington.
- 3:16I've been down there a couple times.
- 3:18Doylestown, PA, San Jose, CA, San Antonio, Jacksonville, Linn
- 3:25Valley Lakes, Kansas. Welcome, Kentucky in the house.
- 3:29New Hampshire, Mama sleuth, says Gavin, you look slimmer.
- 3:33I am slimmer. Thank you very much for
- 3:36noticing. I'm doing my best.
- 3:37Boise, ID. Moscoto, Wisconsin, Kansas,
- 3:41Hanover Park, IL, Nevada. Working late in the listening in
- 3:46the burg we got, we got Pittsburgh in the house you're
- 3:49in. You're in my neck of the woods.
- 3:52Corbin, KY, says Gavin, take a trip and visit us.
- 3:57You can eat at the first KFC and visit Cumberland Falls and if
- 4:00you go during the full moon you can see the moon bow.
- 4:04I thought that the first KFC was in Salt Lake City, or was that
- 4:08like the first franchise? I've eaten at that one.
- 4:12It's up in like Sugar House area.
- 4:15New York City in the house. Oop, wrong button.
- 4:20Netherlands, Indiana. Stanhope asking what actually
- 4:26will happen on the 7th. My guess is it'll be pushed
- 4:29again. It's just.
- 4:29And if it's not, it's just an arraignment.
- 4:33It's just a very simple enter a plea and that is it.
- 4:39Yeah. Happy New Year to you.
- 4:40Thank you. We've got Miami in the house,
- 4:42New England in the house. Southern Tier, New York State.
- 4:48Is that what that means? Boston, Houston, Brazil is in
- 4:52the house. Thank you for being here.
- 4:54Brazil, Southern Illinois, Southern Indiana, Avalon, Texas,
- 4:58Ontario, Canada, oh, so many people.
- 5:01Thanks guys. Thank you very much for tuning
- 5:05in. OK.
- 5:06The question or the, I guess the concern that I have today is
- 5:12that we have learned that the LAPD has once again got in a
- 5:19court order to not release documents that are by default
- 5:25public. Now it seems like there's a
- 5:28little tension, little tension between the medical examiner's
- 5:32office in Los Angeles County and the LAPD.
- 5:37The the new medical examiner has stated on the record through the
- 5:41media that it is his policy to be transparent and everything is
- 5:47just going to be released unless there's a court order.
- 5:50It used to be that the LAPD could just request of the
- 5:55medical examiner's office to not release anything and the Emmys
- 5:58like, Nope, not doing that anymore.
- 6:01So the LAPD is getting court orders to make sure that the
- 6:08stuff that they want hidden from public view be hidden from
- 6:13public view. Now let's come over to Acrobat,
- 6:17shall we? There, there are two things that
- 6:20I want to talk to you about, but let's start with this one.
- 6:24Wrong button. There we go.
- 6:27I feel, I feel a lot of practice during the holiday season here.
- 6:30I'm pushing the wrong buttons and flipping the wrong toggles,
- 6:34pulling the wrong levers, twisting the wrong knobs.
- 6:39I just, I'm, I'm, I feel out of sorts.
- 6:42You know, tomorrow begins a a bit of a vacation for us.
- 6:46Not really a vacation because we're going to work, but I've
- 6:49already kind of got my got myself in that mode.
- 6:52All right, guys, this coming to us from the Los Angeles Times.
- 6:56This was published yesterday. Of course, we were covering the
- 6:59Mickey Stein's case yesterday. So let's read this.
- 7:03Judge Block's release of Rob Reiner and Michelle Singer
- 7:07Reiner autopsy findings A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has
- 7:13agreed to bar the release of Robert Reiner and Michelle
- 7:17Singer Reiner's autopsy reports at the request of law
- 7:19enforcement investigating the death of the Hollywood legend
- 7:23and his photographer wife and a prepared statement.
- 7:27The LA County Emmy's office said that it received a court order
- 7:31last week initiated by the Los Angeles Police Department to
- 7:34place a security hold on the cases.
- 7:37The order signed by Judge Deidre Hill.
- 7:40You know what, I always try to make that more fancy than it is.
- 7:44I have you guys ever seen the movie Ronan with Robert De Niro?
- 7:50And it's it's, it has to do with the troubles.
- 7:56And they say Deirdre. There's a character named
- 7:58Deirdre here. Isn't it just Deirdre here or
- 8:02Deirdre? Sometimes I hear Deirdre anyway.
- 8:05Judge Hill restricts the public release of quote, any
- 8:10investigative information, notes, reports or photos close
- 8:14quote, related to the death investigation.
- 8:17According to the document obtained by the Times on Monday,
- 8:21that would have been a yesterday.
- 8:24The medical examiner's office had previously confirmed their
- 8:27deaths were the result of homicide, listing the cause as
- 8:31multiple sharp force injuries in its public database.
- 8:34And I keep, I keep hammering on this.
- 8:38I don't know why it's important to me, but it is because we hear
- 8:41that they were slashed. We hear that they were stabbed.
- 8:44What? The only thing that we know is
- 8:46that there were multiple sharp force injuries.
- 8:49Now, this reminds me, by the way, then this is not a tangent.
- 8:54This reminds me of a conversation I had with Tom
- 8:57Brennan and the Ellen Greenberg case.
- 8:59I guess is a bit of a tangent, but not enough to get the theme
- 9:02song out. Tom Brennan, as you know.
- 9:07Do I have a picture of Tom? Let me see see if I do.
- 9:12I don't. But Tom Brennan is a private
- 9:17investigator, former Pennsylvania State Police
- 9:21homicide detective who has been working pro bono on the Ellen
- 9:25Greenberg case. If you don't know anything about
- 9:26the Ellen Greenberg case, head over to mail website
- 9:30gavinfish.com. Please head over here, go to
- 9:35cases and these are the case files of many, many cases that
- 9:42I've been covering. Man, I've been so busy with live
- 9:43streaming this year. I haven't made any case files in
- 9:462025. Can you believe that?
- 9:48I got to get better at that? But Scroll down till you find a
- 9:51photo of Ellen Greenberg right here.
- 9:54OK, this is where you can learn everything about the case and
- 10:00please do. But anyway, Tom Brennan talks
- 10:04about how Ellen Greenberg, she had multiple stab and slash
- 10:10wounds, right? Multiple sharp force injuries.
- 10:13She had one slash wound and multiple stab wounds.
- 10:16He talked about the idea of a blitz attack, like because, and
- 10:25I'm curious what we're going to find in this case with our
- 10:31victims here, Rob and Michelle Reiner, what we're going to find
- 10:35in terms of where they're slashings, where they're
- 10:37stabbings, where were they? We know that there were
- 10:40multiple. And again, trying to temper this
- 10:42with humanity and compassion because these are victims of a
- 10:45horrible, horrible crime. But in order for me to
- 10:49understand, I mean, they're in their 70s.
- 10:53Certainly a man in his 30s would be able to overpower almost
- 10:57anyone in their 70s, almost their physical abilities, their
- 11:05physical strength would almost be irrelevant because of the age
- 11:09difference, Right? But I wonder if this was a blitz
- 11:14attack on, on these two folks. I, I, I just, I don't know.
- 11:24We're going to, we're going to find out, we'll eventually find
- 11:27out if there were defensive wounds, where the wounds were.
- 11:31I hope we find out anyway. And not just for like, I know
- 11:35this is crass, but not just for our, for satiating our need to
- 11:42look at a train wreck or for our entertainment.
- 11:44Cause for me, that's not what this channel is about.
- 11:47It's about learning things about about humanity, about the human
- 11:51condition, about the capability of human beings, violence and,
- 11:58and what makes them do these kinds of things.
- 12:01That's what's most important to me.
- 12:02But I wonder, I just wonder if this is going to be the same
- 12:06kind of blitz attack that took the life of Ellen Greenberg.
- 12:12I don't know. But anyway, the I will repeat.
- 12:16The medical examiner's office had previously confirmed their
- 12:19deaths were the result of homicide, listing the cause as
- 12:22multiple sharp force injuries in its public database.
- 12:25Quote due to the court. Looks like they put the comma in
- 12:31the wrong spot. Due to the court order, the
- 12:33information is no longer available, the medical
- 12:36examiner's office wrote OK. The LA Times had a real hard
- 12:40time with editorial. They misspelled examiner.
- 12:43Put the comma in the wrong spot. Happens to the best of us.
- 12:46It's fine. Continuing the quote.
- 12:48No other case information or records, including the including
- 12:51the medical examiner report can be released or posted on the
- 12:55website until further notice. close quote.
- 12:58The LAPD sought to seal the records quote to ensure
- 13:01detectives from Robbery Homicide Division learned of important
- 13:05information surrounding their deaths before the media and the
- 13:08public. close quote. The department said in a
- 13:10statement to the Times on Monday.
- 13:14That man, they must have rushed this article out.
- 13:16There's another so I don't I don't know why they care.
- 13:23Why do they care if they learn the information before the media
- 13:27does? And does that mean that once
- 13:33they have learned that information they will be
- 13:36releasing it? OK we got it first, now y'all
- 13:38can have it. Somehow the cynic in me thinks,
- 13:42nay, I doubt that is going to happen.
- 13:48The order was not sought to undermine transparency, the
- 13:51department added. You know, the road to hell, they
- 13:55say, is paved with good intentions.
- 13:57It does not matter what you sought to do.
- 14:01It did undermine transparency. That's and, and I am a
- 14:06transparency in government. That is my personal crusade.
- 14:11I just hate, I hate lack of transparency.
- 14:17What is the opposite opaqueness in government?
- 14:19I hate it because as the what is it the Washington Post famous
- 14:27motto, democracy dies in darkness.
- 14:29I think especially maybe even at the local level, it's, it's more
- 14:34important to be transparent and it doesn't look like the like
- 14:38the LAPD wants that here. Continuing the article, security
- 14:45holds are used by various law enforcement agencies to prevent
- 14:48the release of details from an autopsy, notes written by
- 14:52coroner's investigations or results from toxicology and
- 14:55other tests during a death investigation.
- 14:58They've been used in several celebrity and high profile
- 15:01cases, including following the deaths of singer Whitney
- 15:04Houston, actor Paul Walker and the wife of actor Robert Blake.
- 15:10Robert Blake last month. I was about to bring this up, an
- 15:14LAPD detective wrote in court documents seeking the the
- 15:19prevent. My goodness, this author is
- 15:22having a hard time in their editor.
- 15:23Dang it. Seeking to prevent the release
- 15:26of autopsy details surrounding the death of 14 year old Celeste
- 15:30Rivas Hernandez. Speaking of Miss Hernandez, just
- 15:34real quick, let me bring up where is Celeste's button?
- 15:40Let me just bring this up real quick.
- 15:42I know that there are reports circulating, it seems to have
- 15:50originated with TMZ and now there are articles everywhere
- 15:56that are sourcing or attributing back to TMZ that an indictment
- 16:00is likely or eminent in the Celeste Rivas Hernandez case
- 16:04that Mr. David Burke is likely to be indicted.
- 16:08I'm not ready to report on that until we've got better sources.
- 16:12I just feel like I've been burned by TMZ lately.
- 16:17Anyway, so getting back to this. The last month, an LAPD
- 16:24detective wrote in court documents seeking to prevent the
- 16:27release of autopsy details surrounding the death of 14 year
- 16:30old Celeste Rivas Hernandez that publishing such information
- 16:34could jeopardize their investigation.
- 16:36Hernandez's body was found in September in the trunk of Singer
- 16:39David's Tesla. I just wish, like I, I just wish
- 16:47that law enforcement could explain to me in a way that is
- 16:53understandable just what they mean by their case being
- 16:58jeopardized by releasing information because I've never
- 17:02bought that. I just, I just don't buy it.
- 17:05And, and look, I'm not anti cop. I'm anti bad cop, but I am pro
- 17:11good cop and I am very, very enthusiastic about them doing a
- 17:17good investigation, getting it right and securing a, a
- 17:22conviction of the guilty party. Not just a conviction, but a
- 17:26guilt, a conviction of the guilty party.
- 17:29And I think it's reasonable that police have the power to do
- 17:34certain things to ensure that. However, the whole excuse that I
- 17:39always hear is that they want to protect the potential jury pool
- 17:46from being tainted by too much really information being
- 17:49released. And again, I never bought that.
- 17:53That is what Vaudir is for. That's what it's for.
- 17:57And if you have to, if you have to conduct a VWADIR session on
- 18:061000 people instead of maybe having to do it for a couple 100
- 18:12or 500, I think that is a small price to pay for transparency in
- 18:17government. I'm sorry I'm on this little
- 18:18crusade here, but it it drives me nuts.
- 18:21They just don't. I've never felt like I it has
- 18:26been explained well enough for me, but again, well, maybe it's
- 18:31because it's like the nature, it's the reporter in me, right?
- 18:36It's the nature of having to fight all the time for this.
- 18:39I just, I had this conversation recently and this guys Dang it,
- 18:43this really is a bit of a tangent.
- 18:50I had a conversation recently with a local politician local to
- 18:54western Pennsylvania where I was.
- 18:57I, I've been writing a story about in, in some places in
- 19:00Pennsylvania, some counties, they won't release mug shots and
- 19:05they are, they're leaning on a Supreme Court case, a state
- 19:09Supreme Court case where under a state law known as Korea, the
- 19:14Criminal History Reporting Information Act, I think is
- 19:16what, what it stands for. Under CREA, a mug shot is
- 19:24considered somehow by the state Supreme Court as criminal
- 19:30history information. And under CREA, they don't have
- 19:34to release that, but under the right to no law, they do have to
- 19:38release it. And it's, I just, it just drives
- 19:47me crazy. It drives me crazy to have two
- 19:51laws that are in conflict with one another.
- 19:54And I can call the Philadelphia County Jail, the Allegheny
- 19:59County Jail, Mercer County, Butler County, Cambria County.
- 20:05I, I can go all over the Commonwealth, Venango County,
- 20:08Jefferson County, Erie County, and I can get mug shots.
- 20:12But in these tiny little counties that are afraid of
- 20:15being sued. I cannot Clarion county being
- 20:19one of them, Lancaster County being one of them.
- 20:24It drives me crazy. I I think that we need to air on
- 20:27the side of transparency. That's a that's a long tangent.
- 20:30I'm sorry, just I'm, I'm I'm always I'm forever fighting for
- 20:35information that bureaucrats and don't want to give up when I was
- 20:41when I was talking to that that local politician, he's like,
- 20:46well, I can talk to our solicitor about it, but I don't
- 20:48really have a dog in this hunt. Like you don't care about
- 20:51transparency. No, I guess not in this case,
- 20:55right? It just it just kills me, just
- 20:57kills me. OK, the slayings of Rob Reiner,
- 21:0278, and Michelle Singer Reiner, 70.
- 21:06I really would like to nail down their ages.
- 21:08I have Rob Reiner is always shown as age 78 and Missus
- 21:13Reiner has been shown as 6870 and 72.
- 21:19I guess maybe we're safe going with the average anyway.
- 21:23The slings of the Reiners have given rise to an intensely
- 21:26watched legal struggle involving their son Nick, who has been
- 21:30charged in the killings. Prosecutors allege the couple's
- 21:3332 year old son Nick fatally killed by sharp wound by by
- 21:41sharp instrument his parents inside the master bedroom of
- 21:45their Brentwood home early December 14th and then fled the
- 21:49area. He was arrested that night in
- 21:50Exposition Park near USC. Reiner could face life in prison
- 21:55without parole or the death penalty if convicted.
- 21:59And I kind of feel like I, I kind of feel like that is where
- 22:05the prosecution is going to lean.
- 22:07Now, I don't think the California word will dole out
- 22:10that penalty. They haven't in like 20 years.
- 22:14But I think that they probably will charge that because and,
- 22:22and if they do, it's kind of bad news for the Rhiners, I think
- 22:27for the surviving family, not the victims, but the victim's
- 22:31family. Because if they charge with the
- 22:35DPI think, I think the defense will have no choice but to take
- 22:41this all the way to trial. If they don't charge, if they
- 22:46don't seek that penalty, then I think it's possible that there
- 22:51might be a plea or a plea bargain in this case.
- 22:57So we'll see. OK, Now this is the sentence,
- 23:02right? Because what did I title?
- 23:04What did I title this video? The question police still
- 23:07haven't answered. This is the question police
- 23:10still haven't answered. Of course, they don't have to
- 23:12answer it, but I want to know. Authorities haven't offered a
- 23:16motive for the December 14th attack.
- 23:20We still have no idea why. There are many of us who think
- 23:24we know why. And if you think you know, I
- 23:26would love your theory. Please put it in the comment.
- 23:29Please put GF in there so that I will be able so that I can see
- 23:33it on my end. But I'd really love to know what
- 23:36you think. Continuing out their article,
- 23:40Nick Reiner struggled with addiction for years and had been
- 23:43prescribed medication for schizophrenia at some point
- 23:47before the killings, according to two sources with knowledge of
- 23:50the criminal investigation. And that, by the way, this is
- 23:53the LA Times reporting this, not the LA Times attributing back to
- 23:57TMZ or The Hollywood Reporter or something like that.
- 24:01I think they are attributing to two of their sources.
- 24:06I feel like. I feel like that's probably
- 24:09pretty solid. I I don't like that they're
- 24:11anonymous sources. But anyway, sources have also
- 24:14said that he had been acting strangely and got into some type
- 24:19of argument with Rob Reiner at a holiday party at talk show host
- 24:22Conan O'briens House hours before the slaying.
- 24:25It's not clear what specifically they were arguing about, nor is
- 24:29it clear the the level of it because it's been reported that
- 24:33it was a blow up, that it was Conan O'Brien who said don't
- 24:36call the police. And then there are others are
- 24:39like, no, that was way out of proportion.
- 24:41I doubt Conan O'Brien even knew about it.
- 24:44But some family friends told the Times the clash had been, quote,
- 24:47overblown. So yeah, that's, that's what I
- 24:49just said. So that's where we are.
- 24:52The LAPD is, in my opinion, hiding information that the
- 24:56public has a right to for a purpose that I don't believe is
- 25:04valid. I really don't.
- 25:06I I think that the courts have, I think the courts give the
- 25:09police broad latitude when they ask for this kind of stuff.
- 25:13I think judges go, yeah, that makes sense to me.
- 25:15It sure would be nice. The judge is thinking that if I
- 25:18didn't have to go through 7 days of what you're here, it would be
- 25:22great if it was one or two. And so far there hasn't been a
- 25:28challenge to that, that would, that would take it up to a place
- 25:30where we might stop seeing this happen.
- 25:34It just it drives drives me bonkers.
- 25:38Let's let's check in with what you guys have to say over here.
- 25:43I like this picture of the rhiners.
- 25:44That was that must be 30 years ago, but I really like it.
- 25:49Let's see what you're saying. Do do do, do, do, do, do.
- 25:54So many people chimed in from so many places.
- 25:57Thank you so much. Cape Town, South Africa's in the
- 26:00house. That's pretty cool.
- 26:01British Columbia, your EPA, you guys are awesome.
- 26:04BC Southern California, Williamsburg, Westminster, MD
- 26:09Awesome. Thanks guys.
- 26:11OK, Ananya Mouse, says Gavin. I've heard it explained that
- 26:16some details that only the killer would know need to be
- 26:18withheld. I guess the to trip them up or
- 26:21prevent false confessions from others.
- 26:25You know, that is a very, very good comment.
- 26:31That's a very good comment, though.
- 26:32I don't know that those details would necessarily be in a
- 26:36medical examiner's report. I mean, well, let me let me just
- 26:40quibble with myself for a second because I am a professional
- 26:43Quibbler. Where the the blow might be,
- 26:47where the where the where like the the wound that caused death
- 26:53might be might only be known by the killer and they want to be
- 26:57able to talk to the killer about that or their suspect about that
- 27:01before it's widely known. Yeah.
- 27:05OK. But is there a like, what's the
- 27:09deadline on that, I guess. OK, That's that's a good point.
- 27:16That is a good point. I like that Emmy says
- 27:21California. They don't release mug shots
- 27:23either. Drives me nuts.
- 27:26You know, there's a case that I have been looking into for the
- 27:30past almost five years, Sarah Easton, who was a friend of my
- 27:36little sister, who to this day, her death is pending toxicology.
- 27:47Her manner and cause of death, Well, the cause of death, no,
- 27:53her manner of death is still pending toxicology and she died.
- 27:59If we can go to my website here, go check out Sarah Easton.
- 28:04I think what was that, 2014 something?
- 28:09Where's Sarah? There she is, 2015.
- 28:12And so getting the information, the state of California is
- 28:17withholding the information because it's still an active
- 28:20investigation, but it's still an active investigation because
- 28:23they have never determined the manner of death.
- 28:25That kind of, it just kills me. I hate it so much.
- 28:34Justice A-Z. Love saves lives.
- 28:37Gavin. I think Michelle was 70
- 28:39probably. Michelle's death certificate
- 28:41indicated 1955 date of birth, which makes her 70 at the time
- 28:45of death. Good on you, Crypto Catherine 61
- 28:48O 3. Thank you.
- 28:53Quiller by the lake, asks Gavin. Was the security hold, although
- 28:56initiated by the LAPD, more beneficial for the prosecution?
- 29:00Can they keep findings from the defense initially before
- 29:03discovery rules kick in? Just wondering.
- 29:07There is a timeline, man, that's something I ought to ask Josh.
- 29:10I had to ask Josh if maybe I could ask him to do that.
- 29:19I will cooler by the lake. I'm going to ask this over to
- 29:21Josh Ritter and maybe he can come back with an audio file or
- 29:25a video file answering this question.
- 29:29Can they keep, is it more beneficial for the prosecution?
- 29:32Can they keep findings from the defense initially before
- 29:35discovery rules kick in? And what are those discovery
- 29:38rules? At what point does discovery
- 29:42need to be handed over to the defense?
- 29:44Because I and each jurisdiction is going to be different, right?
- 29:48Great man. I got to take a note on that.
- 29:50I got to make a note on that. How far are we into this?
- 29:55We are 2950, we'll say 2950. I'm just going to, I'm just
- 30:00going to make a note on that 50 question for Josh Ritter.
- 30:08I'm going to ask. Thanks so much for that.
- 30:13Just to say to C love saves lives says another pretty major
- 30:16detail is that Nick was living in the main house where he could
- 30:19be supervised ever since he busted up their guest house
- 30:22years ago. I have not read that in any
- 30:28report and would love it if you would send that to my away
- 30:33justice. If you go to my website,
- 30:35gavinfish.com, there's always a link down in the description.
- 30:38Go over to the old website, click on this little icon right
- 30:41here the the envelope up here in the upper right hand corner.
- 30:45And will you send me your source for that?
- 30:48I know I'm giving you homework and that's not all that cool.
- 30:51You're not here for homework. You're here for entertainment
- 30:54and information. I get it.
- 30:56But if you would, I would, I would love that because I have
- 31:01not read that report and I would, I'd love to read it.
- 31:04Thank you so much, one SoC rebel says.
- 31:12I believe he was told by parents after the Christmas party that
- 31:16if he was going to continue to live with them, he had to go
- 31:18back into treatment. Do you have a source on that one
- 31:21as well? Because I haven't I haven't
- 31:25heard the nature of what their argument was about.
- 31:28I just heard that there was an argument.
- 31:35Very good comment. Let's see.
- 31:39Sandy Mcmasters. Oh, these.
- 31:41Well, no, no, no. I asked you guys to give me your
- 31:44theories. That's what I did here.
- 31:47So one SoC rebel. That is your theory.
- 31:50OK. That he was.
- 31:52He had to go back into treatment.
- 31:54You know, one of the things that Rob Reiner talked about in
- 31:58different interviews was that he was sorry for the way that they
- 32:02had handled him in his younger years because he was like, it
- 32:09was, and this is me paraphrasing Mr. Reiner, But he felt that the
- 32:16stuff that they did to him or for him, whichever way you look
- 32:21at it, was punitive. And had they done stuff that was
- 32:27non punitive, they would have had more success.
- 32:29So, and that's again me paraphrasing, not a direct
- 32:32quote. That was on the what was that?
- 32:37The there was a podcast, man. I've deleted it from my little
- 32:44my little buttons here. Let me see if I can find that
- 32:48real quick. That was on.
- 33:01Was it would it? Yeah, it was with Paul Mercurio.
- 33:08It was the two chairs and a microphone podcast back in 2016.
- 33:12And in this podcast he talked about, you know, making him go
- 33:19into recovery and how that was so punitive.
- 33:22And had they been more loving and and stuff like that, he
- 33:26thinks they would have been more successful.
- 33:27And of course, we're looking at this with almost 10 years of
- 33:33hindsight to our benefit. I'm sure Mr. Reiner had no idea
- 33:39that his son would allegedly, reportedly according to police,
- 33:44slash or stab him to death. Let's see, Robin, I'm not
- 33:54following. How can that be possible?
- 33:56Since 2014 talks college. Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 34:00With Sarah's case, I know, I know.
- 34:04Now I ended up, I shouldn't take credit for this.
- 34:07A team that I was working with ended up getting a whole bunch
- 34:11of documentation that had never been released because it had
- 34:16been shrouded in in that lack of transparency in the state of
- 34:23California. And I believe if you go to the
- 34:26website, if on this case, you guys should check out this case.
- 34:30This is Sarah Easton, and she was a friend of my little
- 34:33sister. If you know my little sister on
- 34:36the fish tank, we're talking about Tiff.
- 34:39She's one of the admins of the fish tank on Facebook.
- 34:43Fish tank guys, go to the fish. You're cordially invited to the
- 34:47fish tank. So this was Tiff's friend.
- 34:50If you go to the website, I have a very good case including all
- 34:54the videos I did on it, photos of the victim, photos of the
- 34:57crime scene. I was able to get photos from
- 35:00the crime scene cleanup company because the crime scene photos
- 35:04themselves couldn't get my hands on, but the crime scene cleanup
- 35:09company I could. And then I was able to get so
- 35:12many reports through this team that I was working with.
- 35:16It was it was amazing. But still this case is pending
- 35:21toxicology. Like the family had never gotten
- 35:25a death certificate because the death certificate was pending
- 35:29toxicology. We were finally able to get
- 35:32that, but it's still, it's still pending.
- 35:36Drives me nuts. So Debbie Hibben, 4781.
- 35:46I heard they left 70% of their estate to poor little Nick.
- 35:49Yeah, that that to me is just a rumor.
- 35:51I don't know. I don't know what their estate
- 35:53was. I think that their net worth was
- 35:55in the hundreds of millions of dollars, probably 200, three,
- 35:58$100 million split up amongst four children.
- 36:05Yeah, that's that's generational wealth there.
- 36:11Hey, California grandma. Right up the hill from where I
- 36:13grew up in Grass Valley, Nevada. Nevada City.
- 36:16Yeah, I love Nevada City. I grew up in the in the OV
- 36:20Orangevale, CA. Let's see.
- 36:25Let me keep on scrolling then we Sandy Mcmasters.
- 36:30Gavin, can you review the surveillance videos we have on
- 36:33Nick again? Reports on when where they were
- 36:35captured are getting all mixed and confusing.
- 36:37Yeah, I can do that. Not tonight, but I will.
- 36:40I will do my best to do that. Robin says maybe the sun simply
- 36:44broke mentally, especially if he wasn't on his meds.
- 36:47Addiction and holiday stress, Parental disappointment or
- 36:50conflict. Maybe a perfect storm could be
- 36:54one SoC rebel. Did the Reiner home have a
- 36:57security system? It would have had to be
- 36:59deactivated and reactivated, in my opinion.
- 37:02My guess is, and it's strictly a guess, is there was a security
- 37:06system. Yeah.
- 37:10Oh, good. Justice is happy to cite your
- 37:12sources. I would love that.
- 37:14Please reach out to me. I get everything that is sent
- 37:16through there. You don't have to worry about it
- 37:18getting lost. I used to have an e-mail address
- 37:20for people to send e-mail to, but they would get lost.
- 37:22And so if you sent it through the form, I will get it.
- 37:25And yeah, if you're a, if you're a very good researcher, I would.
- 37:32I would. I'm always looking for team
- 37:35members to help. Which reminds me, I haven't.
- 37:38I have a message in my inbox with somebody who wants to
- 37:41volunteer. I need to remember to to hand
- 37:44that off. OK the next thing that I wanted
- 37:47to bring up to you guys here I, I had a comment on one of my
- 37:53previous videos that I took to heart.
- 37:55Now, I felt like I had been sensitive to to their concern,
- 38:02but whether I was or not, I wasn't enough apparently.
- 38:07And and so when I saw this next article I want to share with
- 38:13you, I feel like this might address the issue, right.
- 38:16One of the the concern that a commenter had was that
- 38:20schizophrenia, people who suffer from schizophrenia are rarely
- 38:26violent, very rarely. And I thought that I had
- 38:30addressed that in the video, but they're very rarely violent.
- 38:34And maybe this commenter was just a little sensitive.
- 38:37She or he had, you know, schizophrenia and and their
- 38:42family. So maybe they were a little
- 38:43sensitive. I thought that I did pretty well
- 38:45there. But either way, when this
- 38:49article came out yesterday, I thought we should talk about
- 38:53this because we are talking about Nick Reiner suffering from
- 38:59schizophrenia, having his meds changed or maybe he's off his
- 39:02meds. We can just speculate about this
- 39:04all day, but the fact of the matter is that people who suffer
- 39:09from schizophrenia are rarely rarely violent and and their
- 39:16their parents out there that like this title says, just like
- 39:19so many families, US parents of addicted kids relate to the
- 39:23rhiners but fear stigma. Now, this specifically has to do
- 39:26with addiction, not necessarily schizophrenia, but same same
- 39:29kind of feeling, right? That we want to make sure that
- 39:33again, we temper everything with humanity and compassion.
- 39:37We we want to live up to that ideal.
- 39:41So let me just read this briefly and then we'll get in headlines.
- 39:44OK. The challenges of drug and
- 39:46alcohol addiction are familiar, but violence against others is
- 39:49highly unusual, parents say. When news broke that Robin Rob
- 39:54and Michelle singer Reiner had been killed and a possible
- 39:57suspect was their son, Nick Reiner, who had struggled with
- 40:00addiction and mental health issues, it brought addiction
- 40:04back into the public spotlight. Maybe, maybe many of us, it's
- 40:10been in our faces this whole time.
- 40:13You know, for example, the conversation that I had last
- 40:16night with Elizabeth Jones, hillbilly crying, right?
- 40:20This is. This is maybe, maybe it leaves
- 40:26the public zeitgeist, but there's so many of us who see it
- 40:29every single day. But parents who have been
- 40:34affected by their children's addiction fear the conversation
- 40:37will focus on the exceedingly rare act of violence instead of
- 40:42more widespread risks. Ron Grover and his wife Darlene
- 40:47have been glued to the news. They only knew the Reiners by
- 40:49their work, but they feel a connection.
- 40:52Grover's son also became addicted at 15 to opioids and
- 40:56then heroin, which is an opioid much like Nick Reiner, and he
- 41:01was in and out of rehab and jail for years.
- 41:04But after 7 excruciating years, Grover's son got sober in July
- 41:092010. And good on him.
- 41:11That is so hard. It's just tragic, Grover says of
- 41:15the Reiners family story. It tears you up because that's a
- 41:18family destroyed just like so many other families that we know
- 41:22that their sons or daughters or loved ones didn't survive the
- 41:26disease of addiction. More than 2/3 of Americans say
- 41:30their lives have been touched by addiction.
- 41:32Either they or a family member has, quote, been addicted to
- 41:35alcohol or drugs, experienced homelessness due to addiction,
- 41:39or experienced a drug overdose leading to an emergency room
- 41:42visit, hospitalization or death. close quote the health nonprofit
- 41:46KFF found in 2023. This is reminding me of a
- 41:50documentary that I saw about addiction in Appalachia.
- 41:55And one of the character, not characters, one of the people
- 41:58that they followed in this, in this documentary.
- 42:01I got to remember what this documentary was called.
- 42:03She just was an empathetic person.
- 42:08It just didn't matter. She was a first responder and it
- 42:10just didn't matter to her how many times she had to save
- 42:14somebody from an overdose. She wanted to save them from the
- 42:18overdose, right? She, it had just been a, a pax
- 42:23on her community and, and the amount of love and compassion
- 42:27that she expressed and showed to the people who some of them
- 42:32overdosed and overdosed and overdosed and overdosed and she
- 42:35saved them over and over and over again.
- 42:39It's great, great documentary. I wish I remember the name right
- 42:42now. Anyway, about one in six
- 42:43Americans, 16.8% or 48.4 million people had substance use
- 42:49disorder in 2024, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental
- 42:54Health Services Administration. I would imagine that a lot of
- 42:56that is also alcohol, not just drugs.
- 43:00This can happen to anybody, no matter how rich you are, no
- 43:03matter how poor you are, no matter how powerful you are,
- 43:05Grover said the Reiner story struck A chord with Greg, the
- 43:09chair of Families Anonymous, whose son has addiction.
- 43:13Quote, we talk a lot about how it's a family disease.
- 43:16It has a tremendous impact on others lives, Greg said.
- 43:20But he's worried that the murders will make people very
- 43:23wary of anybody who's admitted to having an addiction and think
- 43:27that they could become violent at any point in time.
- 43:30And that's not true, Greg said. These are really important
- 43:33conversations to have since addiction is so prevalent in the
- 43:37United States and the rates have continually increased, said
- 43:40Colleen Berryessa, an associate professor at Rutgers School of
- 43:43Criminal Justice who studies addiction and criminal justice.
- 43:47But there is a lot of stigma about addiction and mental
- 43:50health generally in the US Accord, including the idea of
- 43:53someone being really dangerous and the potential of harming
- 43:56others, she said. She also cautioned against
- 43:58jumping to conclusions about Nick Reiner's alleged role in
- 44:01the crimes in his state at the time.
- 44:03It's not clear whether he had been using substances or
- 44:06experiencing mental health issues recently.
- 44:08In September, Rob Reiner said Nick hadn't done drugs in more
- 44:12than six years. Anyway, it continues on.
- 44:19And I think that, you know, this is something that you guys,
- 44:22it's, it's in the Guardian. It was published yesterday and
- 44:25it's titled just like so many families.
- 44:27Just look that up. You can finish the article.
- 44:29And I I think it's a great reminder that one week we've got
- 44:34to temper ourselves. We have got to be compassionate
- 44:38and we need to understand that this is exceedingly rare.
- 44:41What has happened to unfortunately, I mean, one time
- 44:45is too many, right? But if you have somebody who's
- 44:50addicted to substances, is abusing substances in your life
- 44:54right now or somebody with mental health issues, you
- 44:57certainly should be vigilant. You certainly, and this is just
- 45:00coming from somebody who has no idea, right?
- 45:02I'm, I'm a, I'm a lay person here, but I think vigilance and
- 45:06caution is good, but stigma is not right.
- 45:12We should be working with people with mental health diseases and
- 45:17substance abuse disorders to just find them help and get them
- 45:21healthy and happy. And in the meantime, I mean,
- 45:27we'll see what happens with Mr. Reiner.
- 45:29January 7th is and, and in this picture, you know what, he looks
- 45:33fine. But when you go to like, well,
- 45:36when you go back to this picture, I can't zoom up on it
- 45:42anymore. That does not look like a
- 45:44healthy man right there does not.
- 45:47He does not look healthy. Really sad.
- 45:52But, you know, again, pictures like this, which are all over
- 45:55the place because the rhiners were so ubiquitous.
- 45:59They were just everywhere. They were ever present and
- 46:01they're ever present with their family, right?
- 46:03This was a Spinal Tap to the what is it the the end, the
- 46:09beginning ends or I can't remember what it was called, but
- 46:13you know, there they are with their entire family.
- 46:17They were they weren't ashamed of their son.
- 46:20They loved their son. I at least that's how I read it
- 46:22right. They loved him.
- 46:24They included him. They recognized he had issues,
- 46:26but was always part of their family.
- 46:30Very. It's hard, man.
- 46:33It's hard. OK, let's check in to see what
- 46:36your comments are real quick. See if there's anything else
- 46:38before we get over into headlines.
- 46:40Let me let me refresh here. Let's see.
- 46:47Scotch's mom says Nick probably knew the code to that security
- 46:51system, especially if he was living there.
- 46:53Yeah, it could be, Autumn says. Wouldn't each case of
- 46:57schizophrenia be different? Some may or may not be violent.
- 47:00Yeah, I think each one is different.
- 47:03But violence in schizophrenia is extremely rare.
- 47:07Extremely rare. It happens, it happens, but most
- 47:13of the time, not. Great questions.
- 47:16See if there's anything else. OK, no more comments with the GF
- 47:20in them. So let's move on over to
- 47:24headlines. Here we go true crime headlines
- 47:35pow. OK guys, in this segment we just
- 47:38I just want to bring you up to date on a couple things that are
- 47:40happening and true crime. Let's come back over over here.
- 47:43This brought to us by Court TV today.
- 47:47I should say that I got a dump of court records from from
- 47:53Lexington today in the in the Mickey Stein slash Kevin Mullins
- 47:57case. So we will be going over those
- 48:00in the next couple of days. And then and on my channel guys,
- 48:02I don't worry about being the first.
- 48:04I worry about being this sounds so self.
- 48:08I I worry about being good. I know I'll never be the best,
- 48:11but I worry about being the best I can be.
- 48:14So we will get into those. A headline defense for ex
- 48:17Sheriff Sean Stein seeks to remove judge in murder case Sean
- 48:22Mickey Stein's and Elizabeth talked to us about this a little
- 48:24bit last night. Sean Sticky Sean Mickey Stein's
- 48:28not sticky lines Sean Mickey Stein's is asking for a new
- 48:32judge in his murder case, claiming the current judge
- 48:35cannot be impartial because he appeared alongside the victim in
- 48:38a video just days before the fatal shooting.
- 48:41Stein's defense team filed a motion yesterday requesting
- 48:44Judge Christopher Coren recuse himself from the case.
- 48:49The motion centers on a September 12th, 2024 video from
- 48:53the Kentucky Judicial Commission on Mental Health meeting that
- 48:56shows Corin and shooting victim District Judge Kevin Mullen
- 49:00sitting inches apart for approximately 2 hours.
- 49:04The meeting occurred just seven days before Stein's allegedly
- 49:08shot and killed. No shot and killed.
- 49:10He shot him and killed him on camera in his chambers on
- 49:14September 19th, 2024. That editor is being extremely
- 49:18cautious. Quote.
- 49:20The visual optics in this case must demonstrate impartiality,
- 49:23defense attorney Jeremy Bartley wrote in the motion.
- 49:26The defense argues Corin's close proximity to Mullins in both
- 49:29time and physical distance creates the appearance or an
- 49:32appearance of bias that would lead to a reasonable, Oh my
- 49:35goodness, slow down fish. That would lead a reasonable
- 49:38observer to question the judge's impartiality.
- 49:44So, yeah, they're not, they're not alleging that there is a
- 49:48conflict. They're alleging there is an
- 49:49appearance that that might call into question the judge's
- 49:56impartiality. So that is what's going on in
- 49:58the Mickey Stein's case. And like I said, when we get
- 50:00back, we'll dig into the documents on that.
- 50:02I'll share them with you. This one from Crime Cod written

- 52:48I don't know why that is not attempted murder, but those,
- 52:54those, those are your headlines. Oh my goodness.
- 53:00We got a bitey, scratchy first grade teacher and a man that
- 53:04eats snacks and then Pew pews over at the snack owner.
- 53:09I don't get it. I don't get it.
- 53:14We live in an interesting world. All right, let's get in three
- 53:16questions. It's three questions.
- 53:26All right, guys, in this segment, I read 3 questions that
- 53:31were submitted by you. You can submit your questions to
- 53:33three questions at gavinfish.com, three questions
- 53:35at gavinfish.com. Spell it out.
- 53:38THREE questions at gavinfish.com.
- 53:41I want to say before we begin, somebody, a viewer who a highly
- 53:47esteemed viewer who I love, sent me a reminder to answer their
- 53:52questions. But I will say to you, it is
- 53:55apparent you shouldn't feel guilty about this, but it is
- 53:58apparent you have not watched all of the episodes because I
- 54:01have answered your questions already.
- 54:03Ha, ha. But yeah, let's get into three
- 54:10questions. Here we go.
- 54:12Push the right button, Gavin. All right.
- 54:15First question for me is where would you like to visit that you
- 54:19have never been to before? There is an area, place on this
- 54:26planet that I really care to visit anymore.
- 54:30Let's see. If I tried really hard, I
- 54:35wouldn't mind going to Antarctica.
- 54:37That'd be pretty cool. I wouldn't mind going to the
- 54:42Arctic like in the summer probably.
- 54:47But you know, just just to say that I've been up in the Arctic,
- 54:53that would be cool. Antarctica would be cool.
- 54:55My parents did that. They during their travel years,
- 54:58they took a expedition to Antarctica.
- 55:02That would be pretty cool. But I have been everywhere that
- 55:05I want to be and I've been, I've been to so many more places than
- 55:08I ever want to be. So I let me just think about
- 55:13this. Oh, but that I've never been to
- 55:16before. Yeah, probably the Arctic and
- 55:20Antarctica, but I don't know that I'm really drawn there.
- 55:24I've been everywhere, guys. I am, I am the Johnny Cash song.
- 55:32I think I've been to actually everywhere in that song too,
- 55:35including Winnemucca. So yeah, I, I used to travel a
- 55:40lot for work and, and I just, so I would love to go places that
- 55:46I've been to already with Kimberly, my snuggly bear, my
- 55:50sweetie pie, my one and only. I would love that.
- 55:52But that doesn't qualify on this question.
- 55:55Where? Tell me, tell me in your
- 55:58comments where you would like to visit that you've never been to
- 56:02before. I'd love to read those.
- 56:03That'd be fun. OK, question #2 what does your
- 56:07favorite salad consist of? OK, yeah, guys, I am a salad bar
- 56:13aficionado. I love and I'm a big sucker for
- 56:17a good salad bar. This is what my salad is.
- 56:19OK, First off, I want green leaf or red leaf lettuce.
- 56:22I don't want iceberg lettuce anymore.
- 56:26I grew up on iceberg lettuce. It's a fine lettuce choice, but
- 56:30but I don't know. I think I'd, I'm married into a
- 56:33family that was more discerning with their lettuce choices and
- 56:36now I'm a snob about it. So red leaf preferred green
- 56:40leaf. Second, a nice bed on top of
- 56:44that you pile more veggies and I want them raw.
- 56:48OK, I want I like broccoli, I like cucumbers, I like peas, I
- 56:52like corn. I like, I like the I like the
- 56:57little baby corn things like in big words, like I like those
- 57:01little baby I I like onions and that's my next.
- 57:06That is the next level. On top of that goes the
- 57:11dressing. Now I am a ranch dressing
- 57:13person, but I like it to be thin.
- 57:17I don't want it to be watery, but I like it to be thin because
- 57:19I like it to flow, right? Then on top of that comes the
- 57:23crunchy and the meaty bits. So I like croutons, I like
- 57:28sunflower seeds, I like saltine crackers, and I like bacon.
- 57:36And that is the perfect salad. That is the perfect salad.
- 57:39Growing up in Northern California, you could always get
- 57:42the perfect salad at Fresh Choice.
- 57:44Now, there's no Fresh Choice, but there's Souplantation in
- 57:46Southern California, and that's pretty great.
- 57:49I love those places. So yeah, I'm a sucker for good
- 57:51salad bar. Out here in Western
- 57:53Pennsylvania, it's Eaton Park, where you can get a pretty darn
- 57:59good salad bar. OK, Do I believe in the
- 58:03paranormal? OK, I'm going to kind of dodge
- 58:08this just a little bit, OK. And and I had a very good
- 58:12discussion about this on quantum mix tape with Candy V OK, so you
- 58:20can check that out. Do I believe in the paranormal?
- 58:25I don't know that I believe in the paranormal, but I don't
- 58:29disbelieve it either. I'm agnostic on the subject.
- 58:32I think that we live in a giant expanding universe that is full
- 58:40of mysteries that we don't have the explanations to.
- 58:43And I am perfectly happy. I would be perfectly happy to be
- 58:48shown, hey, there are paranormal things that exist.
- 58:52I also would be perfectly fine if somebody were able to prove
- 58:55definitively that the paranormal does not exist.
- 58:58I'm completely agnostic now. My dodge on this also has to do
- 59:03with religion. Many of us watching our active
- 59:06and faithful religious folks. I think that belief in, in, for
- 59:15example, if you're Christian in the, the death and the
- 59:18resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth kind of qualifies in,
- 59:24as a belief in the paranormal, does it not?
- 59:27I, I kind of think it does and I'm not putting it down, right.
- 59:32I have lived my life faithfully. I just kind of feel like if you
- 59:36believe in those kinds of things, you believe in
- 59:38apparitions of Saints or the helps of help of angels, then
- 59:41you believe in paranormal. So I'm kind of, I'm still
- 59:45agnostic on it. I, I don't know, by one
- 59:50definition, I'm a believer. By the other definition, I'm
- 59:54agnostic on the subject. I would love to hear what you
- 59:57guys say in your comments. I'm going to give you a couple
- 59:59of seconds, couple minutes because I know that there's a
- 1:00:02little bit of a delay here. So while you're putting your

- 1:01:15your oops. I pushed the wrong push the
- 1:01:18wrong button. Get rid of this one and let's
- 1:01:21check out your comments before we go Need it to refresh if I.
- 1:01:34OK, real happy 33. Are you putting the latest
- 1:01:41Steins docs on Patreon? That is a good idea.
- 1:01:44I'll be happy to do that. I will upload upload those to
- 1:01:46Patreon. Thanks for reminding me that
- 1:01:49justice says Gavin, you do great work.
- 1:01:52Thank you very much. I appreciate that, Georgia
- 1:01:5475231, says Gavin. Having worked in the court
- 1:01:57system for 18 years, I can tell you violence among schizophrenic
- 1:02:02people is not rare. Unfortunately, I can tell many
- 1:02:05stories of such violence and was even a victim myself.
- 1:02:08Well, first of all, Georgia I I'm not going to discount what
- 1:02:13you're telling me. This is your lived experience,
- 1:02:15right? This is what you have seen.
- 1:02:18Remember though, if I can just quibble, and again, this is
- 1:02:21just, this is, this is I'm doing it respectfully and lovingly.
- 1:02:25This is just a, just a respectful little quibble, OK?
- 1:02:29Often times we are in our own little bubbles and we see we see
- 1:02:36so many things, like for example, if you work in a court
- 1:02:38system, you will see mental health, you will see crime and
- 1:02:44violence that is connected to mental health issues way more
- 1:02:50than those of us who don't work in the court system.
- 1:02:53I think though, the data do not support what you're saying here.
- 1:03:00I think that because you work in the court system, you see it a
- 1:03:04lot. But when you compare it to the
- 1:03:06data, to the overall number of people that live with and have
- 1:03:13been diagnosed with schizophrenia, it is a very,
- 1:03:16very small fragment of a percentage of those people that
- 1:03:21are violent. That's all I'm saying now.
- 1:03:23It's still there. And so my advice stands, be
- 1:03:26vigilant on this stuff. And I deeply appreciate your
- 1:03:30comment. I just, I think I think the data
- 1:03:34don't support what you're what you're saying.
- 1:03:39Respectfully, lovingly, thank you for your comment.
- 1:03:44Let me keep on going. Robin says.
- 1:03:46As a parent of a child with multiple mental health
- 1:03:49conditions, it makes me very sad when others blame the parents.
- 1:03:52You can't punish autism, depression, defiance disorders
- 1:03:56from a child. Yeah, I agree.
- 1:04:00I hope that I have not engaged any blaming of the rhiners in
- 1:04:04this case 'cause I, I feel like that all indications that I have
- 1:04:09seen are that they have been loving, caring parents and
- 1:04:13they've done their best. And parenting is hard, guys.
- 1:04:15It's it's tough. You never really know what
- 1:04:17you're doing. Emmy says.
- 1:04:19Hope you have a wonderful celebration of the new year.
- 1:04:21Thank you very much. Kimberly and I are headed out of
- 1:04:23town together and it's going to be great.
- 1:04:27Cycner, 95, says Gavin Nick appears to have gained weight.
- 1:04:31He could have been sober, but in pictures, his blankness could
- 1:04:34indicate poorly managed schizophrenia.
- 1:04:36Thoughts. Yeah.
- 1:04:37I I Yeah, possibly. I don't have any expertise in
- 1:04:41this, but yeah, it's possible. And yeah, I agree.
- 1:04:48I think that it is possible. A couple more.
- 1:04:55Emmy says there's breaking news. Oh, wait a minute.
- 1:04:58Real quick. Mom sleuth.
- 1:04:59Happy birthday, Jamie. Happy birthday.
- 1:05:02Emmy says there's breaking news. I don't know what the breaking
- 1:05:05news is, though. Got it.
- 1:05:09Got to add it in there, Emmy got to add it in there and we're a
- 1:05:12few minutes over. So I want to I want to wrap this
- 1:05:15up, but let me is there breaking news on this case?
- 1:05:20Yeah. I don't see anything new other
- 1:05:30than reactions to to the death, but I'm going to give it a
- 1:05:38second just in case. Where is what does Emmy say?
- 1:05:46I can't see on my side. It's just there's just so much I
- 1:05:50can't see unless you put it in your comment.
- 1:05:55So I will. I will take a look to see what
- 1:05:58is breaking and perhaps we will come back with another video,
- 1:06:02though probably not. Yeah.
- 1:06:09I'm just hoping that this it doesn't matter.
- 1:06:12Guys, I'm over. I've been keeping you too long.
- 1:06:15I've been keeping you too long. It's time for us to say
- 1:06:17goodnight. It's time for us to say goodbye
- 1:06:20for a couple days. Remember, we're off tomorrow and
- 1:06:23the first, we'll be back on the second.
- 1:06:26OK, That is the plan with that. Thank you so much.
- 1:06:31Actually, this is so this is the last video of this year, guys.
- 1:06:36The channel has grown so much this year and I just deeply,
- 1:06:43deeply appreciate it. Did you know they found a body
- 1:06:47of missing girl in Texas? And he says, OK, OK, that's the
- 1:06:50breaking news. I will check it.
- 1:06:51Thank you, Emmy guys. This year I was able to pull
- 1:06:58back my day job as a reporter from full time to part time.
- 1:07:03And I was able to make this job more of our full time income.
