0:30
Speaker 2: we are headed to a case down into the heart
0:33
Speaker 2: of Texas, Stu. Or the so-called heart of Texas.
0:36
Speaker 3: I don't believe Katie is the heart of Texas.
0:38
Speaker 2: Deep in the heart of Texas.
0:41
Speaker 3: Let's not sing.
0:43
Speaker 2: Every child that grows up in Texas learns that song,
0:46
Speaker 2: and we clap on demand like Sheldon from the Big
0:48
Speaker 2: Bang Theory.
0:50
Speaker 3: Yes, I know.
0:50
Speaker 2: You can just start. Singing it and you'll find all
0:53
Speaker 2: the people that grew up in Texas because they'll clap. Anyway,
0:57
Speaker 2: so yes, we are going to Texas.
1:00
Speaker 3: Yes. Today we are going to Katy, Texas from January 1999.
1:06
Speaker 3: This is a case that gripped the entire state. It
1:09
Speaker 3: involves a beloved eight-month pregnant special education teacher, a high
1:13
Speaker 3: school football coach from a prominent local family, and a
1:16
Speaker 3: staged home invasion with a grocery store alibi saying, Time
1:21
Speaker 3: down to the exact second. Mm-hmm.
1:24
Speaker 2: Now, before we get in today's case, here's a quick
1:27

1:55
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be able to, like... Okay, so
1:59
Speaker 2: last week on Sit and Sip and Bullshit, we went
2:01
Speaker 2: through my first week of work, and I had a
2:04
Speaker 2: few little embarrassing moments.
2:06
Speaker 3: Yes. And I may have mentioned that I may have
2:11
Speaker 3: married the smelly kid.
2:13
Speaker 2: I didn't smell. It's a euphemism.
2:16
Speaker 3: Yes, euphemism.
2:18
Speaker 2: Yes, it was just I embarrassed myself multiple times. last week,
2:22
Speaker 2: and then this week, today specifically, man, I really did it, anyways,
2:29
Speaker 2: I would just be standing there, I started laughing at
2:32
Speaker 2: my desk, I was trying to hide it, because I
2:34
Speaker 2: open these open spaces, and then I started laughing about
2:37
Speaker 2: it in the bathroom, and then I started smiling and
2:39
Speaker 2: laughing about it when I was leaving the place, and
2:41
Speaker 2: then I came home to tell Stu, I was like,
2:43
Speaker 2: I've got this story I'm going to tell you on,
2:45
Speaker 2: for our, I'm going to save it for our Friday episode,
2:47
Speaker 2: so you I've been trying to, like, normally I tell
2:50
Speaker 2: Stu stuff immediately when things happen, but so we can
2:52
Speaker 2: have more of a conversation, especially when I get myself
2:55
Speaker 2: into a situation with others. I try to save it
2:59
Speaker 2: and tell him at the same time I'm telling you
3:01
Speaker 2: guys on Sit and Sippin' and Bullshit. I was telling him,
3:05
Speaker 2: I was like, I got to start. And I was like,
3:07
Speaker 2: I just couldn't even. Every time I think about it,
3:10
Speaker 2: it's hilarious. Anyway, so we got that story going. So, yeah,
3:13
Speaker 2: that's the things you can look forward to on the
3:16
Speaker 2: Friday episodes.
3:17
Speaker 3: Yeah.
3:18
Speaker 2: Patreon that's all i got to say that's it i
3:23
Speaker 2: probably annoyed somebody with my laughing right there because it
3:25
Speaker 2: ain't easy being wheezy oh that's right did someone call
3:30
Speaker 2: me wheezy yeah.
3:31
Speaker 3: Somebody called you wheezy a few years back fuckers like
3:36
Speaker 3: from the jefferson.
3:38
Speaker 2: Wheezy didn't they come back and apologize was that the
3:42
Speaker 2: one that we kind of had a We, someone wrote
3:46
Speaker 2: us a bad review and then we talked about it
3:49
Speaker 2: and we kind of talked it out. They kept, they
3:51
Speaker 2: updated the review. We talked about the podcast and somehow
3:54
Speaker 2: we came to a.
3:56
Speaker 3: Mutual understanding.
3:57
Speaker 2: A mutual understanding. I think because I told them that
3:59
Speaker 2: they hurt my feelings. I think they felt bad. This
4:02
Speaker 2: was very early on in the podcast. Whenever I paid
4:05
Speaker 2: attention to the reviews, I don't anymore because.
4:06
Speaker 3: I do and then I tell them.
4:09
Speaker 2: And he waits until he's right here and tells me.
4:13
Speaker 2: But continue on Stu. About how they can help us
4:18
Speaker 2: keep the porch light on, Stu.
4:19
Speaker 3: Well, you can help keep the porch light on by
4:22
Speaker 3: visiting our Buy Me a Coffee page to treat us
4:25
Speaker 3: to a coffee.
4:28
Speaker 2: A sweet tea, Stu.
4:29
Speaker 3: It says sweet tea, but it says Buy Me a Coffee.
4:31
Speaker 2: You can't say that.
4:31
Speaker 3: It doesn't say Buy Me a Sweet Tea.
4:33
Speaker 2: Well, we can buy whatever we want with it. All right,
4:35
Speaker 2: so make sure you're following us on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram,
4:38
Speaker 2: and YouTube. And that's at BlessThisMessPodcast is the handle. And
4:42
Speaker 2: you can catch, I'm bringing back True Crime and Dinner Time, everybody.
4:45
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed doing those, but it wasn't sustainable for
4:48
Speaker 2: me to do it every night. So instead, I'm just
4:50
Speaker 2: going to do a couple of our dinners each week
4:53
Speaker 2: and just do the True Crime and Dinner Time and
4:55
Speaker 2: not share dinners every single night because it's just too much, guys.
4:58
Speaker 3: It is.
4:59
Speaker 2: And then I'm going to.
5:00
Speaker 3: Especially if you've got to live it. Yes.
5:03
Speaker 2: I try to keep that. No, I try to record.
5:05
Speaker 2: I try to record those videos because I don't want
5:07
Speaker 2: it to. Interrupt the children. So I just do it
5:10
Speaker 2: while I'm cooking dinner. And I try not to, I
5:12
Speaker 2: don't record anything of us eating or anything for the
5:14
Speaker 2: most part.
5:15
Speaker 3: No, but then whenever I'm trying to do things with
5:17
Speaker 3: the kids, you're editing.
5:19
Speaker 2: Well, no, I'm pumping or feeding the baby. And I
5:22
Speaker 2: edit them while I'm pumping or feeding the baby.
5:24
Speaker 1: Lies.
5:25
Speaker 2: That is not lies. And sometimes I just sit there. Anyways.
5:29
Speaker 2: And then I also do true crime documentary recommendations. And
5:32
Speaker 2: then I'm real excited, Stu. I'm thinking about starting.
5:36
Speaker 3: Now what?
5:37
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about starting a weekly series to get into
5:40
Speaker 2: spooky season. Well, I'm going to start a soup series.
5:43
Speaker 2: I'm going to do soup on Sundays. No soup for you.
5:45
Speaker 2: I'm going to make us some soup. No soup for you.
5:48
Speaker 2: I'm going to make soups on Sundays. I'm going to
5:50
Speaker 2: do a series through the fall because I love a
5:52
Speaker 2: good soup when it starts to get cold, things start
5:56
Speaker 2: getting fall-like. And then my other thing is, you know,
6:00
Speaker 2: I feel like we covered on the podcast sometimes we
6:03
Speaker 2: would do like kind of a ghost story or something.
6:06
Speaker 2: Like we did the Axemen of New Orleans. We did another,
6:09
Speaker 2: we've done one or two other like ghost type stories
6:12
Speaker 2: or whatever. So I'd like to explore that more, but
6:16
Speaker 2: I was thinking about doing it as a video series
6:19
Speaker 2: on like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, where I tell a little
6:24
Speaker 2: short ghost story about the South. So we'll see if
6:27
Speaker 2: that comes to fruition. But I'd like to, yeah. So anyway,
6:31
Speaker 2: so check out everything so you can see what's coming up.
6:34
Speaker 3: So you're asking for ideas?
6:36
Speaker 2: No, I already have it.
6:37
Speaker 3: You got enough to make it through the whole wintertime?
6:41
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. People could send me their ghost stories. You're right.
6:43
Speaker 2: If you have ghost stories, send them in. Yeah.
6:48
Speaker 3: That way you can get other people to do your
6:50
Speaker 3: work for you.
6:50
Speaker 2: This is true. So if you could just write it,
6:52
Speaker 2: edit it, and then send it in to me, that
6:54
Speaker 2: would be great.
6:57
Speaker 3: You will get no credit.
6:59
Speaker 2: No, I'll give you credit. Oh, okay. I'll tell them
7:01
Speaker 2: who sent it in.
7:02
Speaker 3: All right.
7:03
Speaker 2: And then you're ready, Stu?
7:05
Speaker 3: I am ready. Okay. As always, the absolute best free
7:08
Speaker 3: way to support the show is to take a second
7:11
Speaker 3: to rate, review, and subscribe wherever you're listening right now.
7:15
Speaker 3: Maybe even share it on your socials.
7:18
Speaker 2: That would be so lovely of you if you guys
7:20
Speaker 2: could share it, tell your friends. Not anybody we know.
7:22
Speaker 3: No.
7:23
Speaker 2: Don't tell anybody we know because we still don't tell
7:25
Speaker 2: anybody we know. But you could tell people you know
7:28
Speaker 2: to get us.
7:29
Speaker 3: If you don't want people to know how warped you are,
7:32
Speaker 3: don't share it. If you don't mind.
7:34
Speaker 2: Hey, we've.
7:35
Speaker 3: Do share it.
7:35
Speaker 2: We've gotten it together, Stu.
7:38
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter. We've got a whole back catalog that proves otherwise.
7:42
Speaker 2: Really questionable behavior. All right, let's go ahead and get
7:46
Speaker 2: into this week's story. So on the evening of Monday,
7:49
Speaker 2: January 11, 1999, the sun was just beginning to set
7:53
Speaker 2: over the quiet, upscale neighborhood of Quail Hollow in Katy, Texas.
7:57
Speaker 3: I like that, Quail Hollow.
7:58
Speaker 2: A booming suburb west of Houston. We have been there.
8:02
Speaker 2: We have stopped at the Rudy's. Now, at 5.38 p.m.,
8:06
Speaker 2: the Harris... It's also where the Ikea is. That's where
8:08
Speaker 2: we had the stuff.
8:09
Speaker 3: Delivered because it was too far.
8:11
Speaker 2: There's a Bucky's, Ikea, Rudy's, all over there. At 5.38 p.m.,
8:16
Speaker 2: the Harris County 911 dispatch center received a frantic, breathless
8:20
Speaker 2: call from 33-year-old David Temple. David was... David. What the
8:26
Speaker 2: heck's wrong with me? David. David was hyperventilating, screaming into
8:32
Speaker 2: the phone... that his house on Garden Road Drive had
8:36
Speaker 2: been broken into, and that his wife, Belinda, was lying
8:40
Speaker 2: upstairs in the master bedroom closet covered in blood. Question, David,
8:45
Speaker 2: why aren't you next to your wife?
8:46
Speaker 3: Helping her.
8:47
Speaker 2: Helping her.
8:48
Speaker 3: Performing CPR.
8:50
Speaker 2: Well, maybe he is in there.
8:51
Speaker 3: I don't know. Well, first responders and deputies from the
8:54
Speaker 3: Harris County Sheriff's Office rushed to the scene within minutes.
8:58
Speaker 3: When they pulled up to the two-story brick home, they
9:00
Speaker 3: found David Temple, visibly distraught outside the home.
9:04
Speaker 2: Yes. Sounds familiar to... What? I'm not even going to
9:08
Speaker 2: get into it. I'm not even going to get into it.
9:11
Speaker 2: We're on verdict watch, you know, everybody still. We're on
9:13
Speaker 2: verdict watch. I think we're going to end up with
9:14
Speaker 2: a hung jury as well.
9:15
Speaker 3: Mistrial?
9:16
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, for sure.
9:17
Speaker 3: They're going to have to do this all again.
9:20
Speaker 2: Well, what we should do is go back and investigate
9:22
Speaker 2: the crime properly, and then... I'm not saying he did it.
9:25
Speaker 2: I'm not saying she did it. I'm saying we don't
9:28
Speaker 2: know what happened because nobody investigated this crime properly.
9:30
Speaker 3: Stay on target.
9:31
Speaker 2: I'm going to stay on task.
9:32
Speaker 3: All right.
9:33
Speaker 2: Deputies entered the house through the back patio. The glass
9:36
Speaker 2: pane on the back door was shattered and shards of
9:40
Speaker 2: glass were scattered across the floor. Inside, drawers in the
9:44
Speaker 2: living room and master bedroom were pulled open. Jewelry boxes
9:48
Speaker 2: were tipped over and items were strewn across the carpet.
9:52
Speaker 2: given the appearance of a violent burglary in progress.
9:56
Speaker 3: Deputies ran up the stairs to the master bedroom. Inside
9:59
Speaker 3: the walk-in closet, they made the horrifying discovery. 30-year-old Belinda
10:04
Speaker 3: Temple was lying on the closet floor clutching a cordless telephone.
10:10
Speaker 2: Belinda had been shot execution style in the back of
10:13
Speaker 2: the head at point-blank range with a 12-gauge shotgun. Even
10:20
Speaker 2: more heartbreaking, Belinda was eight months pregnant with the couple's
10:24
Speaker 2: second child, a baby girl they had already named Erin.
10:28
Speaker 2: Both Belinda and her unborn daughter died instantly.
10:32
Speaker 3: Now we're going to look at who David and Belinda
10:36
Speaker 3: were in the community of Katy. In the state of Texas,
10:41
Speaker 3: football is a huge deal. They're obsessed. They are obsessed.
10:46
Speaker 3: David Temple was treated practically like local royalty since he
10:50
Speaker 3: was a coach.
10:51
Speaker 2: David had been a star linebacker and offensive lineman for
10:55
Speaker 2: the legendary Katy High School Tigers, helping lead them to
10:59
Speaker 2: state championship contention. So if you're a big-time football player
11:03
Speaker 2: in town, you might as well be a celebrity. That's
11:06
Speaker 2: teenagers turning into celebrities in their own town if they're
11:09
Speaker 2: good at football.
11:11
Speaker 3: At the foosball?
11:12
Speaker 2: Yes, at the foosball.
11:13
Speaker 3: What's that? Bobby Boucher?
11:16
Speaker 2: Yes.
11:17
Speaker 3: What is it?
11:18
Speaker 2: She's the devil. Vicky VanCourt, not the devil's mama. And
11:24
Speaker 2: she sold me her boobies.
11:25
Speaker 3: And I like them too.
11:26
Speaker 2: And I like them too. So David was, oh, his
11:31
Speaker 2: father was a well-respected figure in the school district and
11:34
Speaker 2: his brother was a prominent local coach. David was physically imposing, confident,
11:39
Speaker 2: and had gone on to become an offensive coordinator and
11:42
Speaker 2: coach at Alief Hastings High School.
11:46
Speaker 3: Belinda Lucas Temple was originally from Nacogdoches, Texas. Shout out!
11:51
Speaker 3: To your almost near hometown?
11:53
Speaker 2: Well, that's where I went to school.
11:55
Speaker 3: Oh, to your college? Yes.
11:58
Speaker 2: Oldest town in Texas. So they claim.
12:01
Speaker 3: That is what I hear.
12:02
Speaker 2: There's a brick road downtown. I mean, how can you
12:03
Speaker 2: argue with that? I mean... I was going to tell them,
12:07
Speaker 2: I think we got your audio fixed. We were having issues,
12:10
Speaker 2: so it might have sounded a little funny there.
12:12
Speaker 3: It was. Oh, wow. I hear you. Belinda met David
12:18
Speaker 3: while they were students at some place called Stephen F.
12:21
Speaker 3: Austin State University.
12:23
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the original place I went to school. I
12:25
Speaker 2: was going to say, if you're ever in that area,
12:27
Speaker 2: and we're going to go and drive and go there again,
12:31
Speaker 2: Butcher Boys in Nacogdoches has the best burgers, fries, potato salad.
12:35
Speaker 2: If you take the french fries and dip them in
12:37
Speaker 2: the potato salad, 10 out of 10. Seriously?
12:40
Speaker 1: Yes.
12:42
Speaker 2: Potatoes on potatoes? Come on.
12:44
Speaker 3: Potato on potato hate crimes?
12:46
Speaker 1: Yes.
12:46
Speaker 2: No, that's not a hate crime. That is a love crime.
12:50
Speaker 3: Friends and family describe Belinda as radiant, generous, fiercely loyal,
12:55
Speaker 3: and deeply dedicated to her students. She worked as a
12:59
Speaker 3: beloved special education teacher at Katy High School.
13:02
Speaker 2: The couple married in 1992, and in 1995, they welcomed
13:05
Speaker 2: their first child, a son named Evan. By January 1999,
13:10
Speaker 2: their three-year-old son was their pride and joy, and Belinda
13:14
Speaker 2: was just weeks away from taking maternity leave to deliver
13:17
Speaker 2: their baby girl, Erin. Erin and Evan. They went with
13:21
Speaker 2: the E's, you see. On the outside, the Temples appear
13:25
Speaker 2: to be the quintessential all-American suburban family.
13:30
Speaker 3: As homicide detectives from the Harris County Sheriff's Office began
13:33
Speaker 3: processing the crime scene, they sat David Temple down to
13:37
Speaker 3: establish an exact timeline of his movements on Monday, January 11.
13:44
Speaker 2: I think that's my brother's birthday.
13:50
Speaker 3: Which one? One of the ones you don't talk to?
13:54
Speaker 2: Let's not talk about it. David told investigators that around 3.30 p.m.
13:59
Speaker 2: he received a phone call from their son Evan's daycare
14:03
Speaker 2: stating that Evan had developed a fever and needed to
14:05
Speaker 2: be picked up. David said he left his coaching job early,
14:09
Speaker 2: picked up Evan, and took him home.
14:12
Speaker 3: David also claimed that Belinda arrived home from Katy High
14:15
Speaker 3: School shortly after 4 p.m. to take over caring for Evan.
14:19
Speaker 3: David said he then decided to take three-year-old Evan out
14:22
Speaker 3: of the house to run several errands so that Belinda
14:26
Speaker 3: could rest.
14:27
Speaker 2: I have questions.
14:28
Speaker 3: That's a child.
14:29
Speaker 2: The child is sick, but you're taking him out to
14:33
Speaker 2: run errands has a fever, so.
14:36
Speaker 3: Instead of staying at home in his bed?
14:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, instead of, yeah, staying home, maybe just stay home
14:42
Speaker 2: and watch the child so that your pregnant wife can rest.
14:47
Speaker 3: Or what if these errands are... Pressing.
14:52
Speaker 2: Well, whatever. I just don't know why you would take
14:54
Speaker 2: a sick child out of the house. According to David,
14:57
Speaker 2: he left the house around 4.30 p.m., took Evan to
15:00
Speaker 2: a local park, stopped at a Brookshire Brothers grocery store
15:04
Speaker 2: to buy snacks. Brookshire Brothers is also the big game
15:07
Speaker 2: in town. You know, they got in a fight and
15:10
Speaker 2: they separated. So the two brothers, it wasn't... There are
15:14
Speaker 2: still Brookshire Brothers, but it's also the expensive grocery store
15:17
Speaker 2: and I didn't find them to be that good. great
15:19
Speaker 2: to be honest with you not like a rouse it's
15:21
Speaker 2: not like a rouse is like your local um louisiana
15:26
Speaker 2: one i just didn't i didn't care for him you
15:27
Speaker 2: know it was also very expensive like just couldn't i
15:31
Speaker 2: used to run a uh a lance route stew you
15:34
Speaker 2: know so i used to i used to put crackers
15:38
Speaker 2: on the shelves chips and stuff so i used to
15:40
Speaker 2: work it you have to go into berkshire brothers i
15:42
Speaker 2: just don't know i just didn't like it and they
15:44
Speaker 2: didn't sell as much you know yeah so not that.
15:47
Speaker 3: Great The clientele would not eat that Lance product.
15:51
Speaker 2: No. And then he visited a Home Depot. He told
15:55
Speaker 2: detectives that he returned home around 5.35 p.m.
15:59
Speaker 3: David stated that when he pulled into the driveway, he
16:01
Speaker 3: noticed the back gate was open. He claimed he'd left
16:04
Speaker 3: three-year-old Evan in the truck, walked to the back door,
16:08
Speaker 3: saw the shattered glass, and immediately ran across the street
16:11
Speaker 3: to a neighbor's house to drop Evan off safely before
16:14
Speaker 3: running back inside to check on Belinda. That is when
16:17
Speaker 3: he claimed he found her body in the closet and
16:20
Speaker 3: called 911.
16:23
Speaker 2: Initially, investigators looked at the possibility of a home invasion
16:27
Speaker 2: gone wrong. But as seasoned homicide detectives and forensic crime
16:31
Speaker 2: scene technicians processed the house on Garden Road Drive, major
16:35
Speaker 2: red flags began appearing everywhere.
16:39
Speaker 3: The first anomaly was the physical evidence surrounding the break-in.
16:43
Speaker 3: The glass on the back door had indeed been broken.
16:46
Speaker 3: But the majority of the glass shards were lying on
16:49
Speaker 3: the outside patio rather than inside the home.
16:52
Speaker 2: These are just basic. If you've watched any Dateline, this
16:56
Speaker 2: was back in the 90s. You have to, if you're
17:00
Speaker 2: going to stage a crime, you've got to go through
17:02
Speaker 2: and do it as if you were going to do
17:04
Speaker 2: the crime. You need to reenact the crime, basically.
17:07
Speaker 3: Are you trying to tell people how to get away
17:09
Speaker 3: with this murder? Yes.
17:09
Speaker 2: If you're going to do this, do it properly. Break
17:12
Speaker 2: the glass from the outside.
17:13
Speaker 3: Or don't so that we can call you out on
17:14
Speaker 3: what a dumbass you are.
17:15
Speaker 2: Yes.
17:17
Speaker 3: Yes, so the glass is on the patio. This suggests
17:20
Speaker 3: that the door may have been hit or staged from
17:23
Speaker 3: the inside while open.
17:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got to reenact the whole thing like you're
17:29
Speaker 2: on a TV show and you're the actor and this
17:34
Speaker 2: is all happening.
17:34
Speaker 3: How are we supposed to make fun of them for
17:36
Speaker 3: being dumbasses, however?
17:37
Speaker 2: Well, they'll still do it anyways. It doesn't matter. Secondly,
17:40
Speaker 2: despite drawers being pulled out in what looked like a ransacking,
17:44
Speaker 2: expensive electronics... high-end firearms in the closet, stereo equipment, television,
17:50
Speaker 2: and large sums of cash sitting in plain sight were
17:53
Speaker 2: completely untouched. The only item supposedly missing was a single
17:57
Speaker 2: piece of costume jewelry. Yeah, again. But the problem is
18:01
Speaker 2: when you stage a crime and it's a robbery, then
18:04
Speaker 2: you have to dispose of the items.
18:05
Speaker 3: Yes.
18:06
Speaker 2: But you've got to go to that extra step if
18:08
Speaker 2: you want to.
18:08
Speaker 3: You've got to dispose of them. You don't take them
18:10
Speaker 3: to the pawn shop and sell them.
18:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got to go to the extra... You've got
18:13
Speaker 2: to do the work, people, okay?
18:15
Speaker 3: That $ 10, 000 in jewelry, throw it in the river.
18:18
Speaker 2: Yes.
18:19
Speaker 3: It's gone. That's the cost of your homicide.
18:23
Speaker 2: Okay, we're giving people a little too much.
18:25
Speaker 3: Too much information?
18:26
Speaker 2: Yes, about how to get away with this.
18:28
Speaker 3: Anyway, then comes the family dog. The Temple's owned a
18:32
Speaker 3: large chow-mixed dog by the name of Ginger, known throughout
18:36
Speaker 3: the neighborhood for being aggressively territorial and barking loudly at
18:40
Speaker 3: any stranger approaching the fence or the driveway.
18:43
Speaker 2: If he's known in the neighborhood about being this, that
18:45
Speaker 2: everybody hates that motherfucking dog, let me tell you. I
18:48
Speaker 2: can guarantee you.
18:49
Speaker 3: They have thought about poisoning him at some point.
18:52
Speaker 2: Yes, they have. And it's a child mix. They're known
18:56
Speaker 2: to be a little.
18:57
Speaker 3: They could chase a child down and maul on it.
19:02
Speaker 2: Now, detectives interviewed the neighbors on both sides of the
19:04
Speaker 2: temple house. The neighbors confirmed that on the afternoon of
19:07
Speaker 2: January 11th, between 4 p.m. and 5.30 p.m., the dog
19:11
Speaker 2: never barked once. However, two teenage neighbors who were home
19:16
Speaker 2: watching a movie told detectives they heard a loud, distinct
19:20
Speaker 2: boom sounding like a gunshot at approximately 4.30 p.m. right
19:25
Speaker 2: when David claimed he was leaving the house. Again, if
19:29
Speaker 2: no one noticed that dog, that dog is a nuisance
19:32
Speaker 2: and someone listens to that dog all the time, bark,
19:34
Speaker 2: and it's like, I hate that dog. We thought we
19:37
Speaker 2: were going to have a situation with the dog.
19:39
Speaker 3: Kit said that the dog was there, but I went outside.
19:41
Speaker 2: I didn't see or hear him. Okay, so if you
19:45
Speaker 2: guys recall a long time ago, we had a situation
19:47
Speaker 2: with the dog next door at our old house. so
19:49
Speaker 2: when we were in this neighborhood this neighborhood is super
19:51
Speaker 2: super quiet I was like thank god there's no like
19:53
Speaker 2: dogs just barking and I don't mind we're not we're
19:56
Speaker 2: not anti-dog I'm anti-dog if your dog just barks all
20:00
Speaker 2: day or is trying to bust down the fence yes
20:02
Speaker 2: so the kids were playing in the backyard and all
20:03
Speaker 2: of a sudden there was a dog and he I'm
20:05
Speaker 2: looking through the thing I'm like please please be a
20:07
Speaker 2: golden retriever please be something It's a freaking pit bull
20:11
Speaker 2: and don't get, don't come at me with your pit
20:13
Speaker 2: bull stories. Okay. I just would prefer not having one
20:16
Speaker 2: on the other side of the fence, slamming itself into
20:18
Speaker 2: the fence with my children on the other side. Okay.
20:21
Speaker 2: So anyway, so it's like this pit bull mix and
20:24
Speaker 2: he wasn't like throwing himself at the fence or anything
20:26
Speaker 2: like that, but he was agitated that they were there.
20:29
Speaker 2: And then someone called the dog in, his name was Kaylee,
20:32
Speaker 2: I think. And it was some kids called it in
20:35
Speaker 2: and we haven't seen it since. So I'm thinking it
20:38
Speaker 2: was somebody just visiting, hopefully. Or they don't let their
20:41
Speaker 2: dog just run up and down and bark at the fence.
20:45
Speaker 3: No, the other neighbors have a dog here, and it
20:48
Speaker 3: was barking last night when I was doing the trash,
20:50
Speaker 3: and they told it to stop. Okay.
20:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind. We had dogs for the longest time.
20:56
Speaker 2: I mean, we've always had dogs up until here recently.
20:59
Speaker 2: We just don't want our dog to be a nuisance
21:02
Speaker 2: to somebody else. So if it is barking and running
21:03
Speaker 2: up and down the fence, then we're going to make
21:06
Speaker 2: it stop and come inside or whatever or tell it no.
21:10
Speaker 2: Like our old house.
21:11
Speaker 3: And they were spoiled, so they were in the house
21:13
Speaker 3: all day, not outside.
21:14
Speaker 2: Yes. And then our old house, they had a small dog,
21:18
Speaker 2: but he was one of them yippy dogs. And they
21:20
Speaker 2: just used to let it run up and down Tizzy
21:23
Speaker 2: or whatever his name was.
21:23
Speaker 3: Kizzy.
21:24
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I used to just sometimes spray him with
21:26
Speaker 2: the water hose.
21:28
Speaker 3: They listen to this.
21:29
Speaker 2: Oh, no, they don't.
21:31
Speaker 3: I don't.
21:32
Speaker 2: That was like three neighbors ago. It's fine.
21:35
Speaker 3: They still got my number.
21:38
Speaker 2: Whatever she got drunk and said that she thought i
21:41
Speaker 2: was a bitch or whatever.
21:42
Speaker 3: Remember that and she called you carrie carrie you a bitch.
21:47
Speaker 2: Because i wouldn't go over okay that's another story for
21:51
Speaker 2: the day but i wouldn't go over she thought i
21:52
Speaker 2: was that way because i wouldn't i never had gone
21:55
Speaker 2: over there and just hung out with her whatever but during.
21:57
Speaker 3: The day day drinking or something but i like worked.
22:00
Speaker 2: And she was home all day long or whatever did
22:02
Speaker 2: she pass away no no okay not yet the.
22:06
Speaker 3: Brother did Yes.
22:08
Speaker 2: Yes, he was.
22:09
Speaker 3: Something else.
22:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah.
22:12
Speaker 3: While forensic teams scrutinized the house, detectives began digging into
22:16
Speaker 3: David Temple's personal life. It did not take long for
22:19
Speaker 3: the image of the devoted, grieving husband to completely collapse.
22:24
Speaker 2: These men, I swear, you know they're going to look
22:26
Speaker 2: into you. I mean, come on. Detectives discovered that David
22:30
Speaker 2: was engaged in a passionate, secret, extramarital affair with a
22:35
Speaker 2: 28-year-old English teacher named at a school named Heather Scott.
22:39
Speaker 2: The affair had started just months earlier in the fall
22:41
Speaker 2: of 1998.
22:43
Speaker 3: Come on, Craig.
22:44
Speaker 2: Oh, Craig.
22:46
Speaker 3: Oh, Craig. When investigators interviewed Heather Scott, she revealed that
22:51
Speaker 3: just three days before Belinda was murdered, on Friday, January 8th,
22:55
Speaker 3: during a secret weekend getaway in Kerrville, Texas, David looked
22:59
Speaker 3: her in the eyes and told her that he was
23:02
Speaker 3: deeply in love with her and promised that he was
23:04
Speaker 3: making plans... to leave.
23:06
Speaker 2: Belinda oh heather's a piece of shit too though because
23:10
Speaker 2: she knew he was married with a pregnant wife i
23:12
Speaker 2: mean she worked with her yes bitch detectives realized david
23:17
Speaker 2: was facing a massive crisis in suburban texas divorcing a
23:21
Speaker 2: pregnant well-liked teacher from a prominent family would destroy his
23:25
Speaker 2: coaching reputation cost him custody of his children and result
23:29
Speaker 2: in massive child support and alimony you going down motherfucker
23:34
Speaker 2: you going i mean if you love this heather scott
23:36
Speaker 2: It's worth the money. It's worth the sacrifice.
23:38
Speaker 3: Yeah.
23:39
Speaker 2: But if Belinda was killed in a random burglary, David
23:42
Speaker 2: walked away with their home, total custody, and nearly $ 1
23:46
Speaker 2: million in life insurance payouts. This is that thing that real.
23:50
Speaker 3: I gotta watch my back.
23:52
Speaker 2: That real... I gotta watch my back, too. Why?
23:54
Speaker 3: You're worth more alive than you are dead, so.
23:57
Speaker 2: The real that's going around is like, can't she just...
24:00
Speaker 2: You know, divorce is an option. You know, these men
24:03
Speaker 2: just murdering their wives. It's like, Divorce is an option, okay?
24:07
Speaker 3: Women murder their husbands too.
24:08
Speaker 2: Oh my God, Stuart, seriously?
24:10
Speaker 3: That lady that just had her husband gunned down with
24:14
Speaker 3: the kids in the car?
24:15
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll look up the statistics about how many wives
24:19
Speaker 2: killed their husbands and how many husbands killed their wives.
24:21
Speaker 2: Don't get into this argument with me. I will take
24:23
Speaker 2: you down.
24:24
Speaker 3: I will take you down.
24:25
Speaker 2: I'm going to join the statistic just so I can
24:27
Speaker 2: increase the numbers.
24:28
Speaker 3: Where the grass is green. The final piece of behavior
24:31
Speaker 3: that stunned the community... was exactly two years after Belinda
24:35
Speaker 3: and their unborn daughter were murdered in June of 2001,
24:40
Speaker 3: David Temple did marry Heather Scott.
24:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he got away with this for quite some time, really. Yes.
24:49
Speaker 2: Despite the strong circumstantial evidence and obvious motive, David Temple
24:53
Speaker 2: had not been arrested. For five years, the case remained
24:57
Speaker 2: in legal limbo because investigators lacked a murder weapon or
25:01
Speaker 2: direct eyewitnesses.
25:03
Speaker 3: In 2004, legendary Harris County prosecutor, Carrie Siegler.
25:07
Speaker 2: Kelly Siegler.
25:09
Speaker 3: I said Kelly.
25:10
Speaker 2: You said Carrie.
25:12
Speaker 3: Carrie, you a bitch. I did not say Carrie. I
25:14
Speaker 3: said Kelly.
25:16
Speaker 2: The funny thing about that, what we were talking about,
25:18
Speaker 2: is that she told me that, like, I just came
25:21
Speaker 2: over to their house. They invited us over.
25:23
Speaker 3: We ain't been there but ten minutes.
25:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, not even ten minutes. She's like, and I thought you, Carrie,
25:28
Speaker 2: you was a bitch.
25:32
Speaker 3: She'd been drinking.
25:32
Speaker 2: That was quite the night that we had.
25:34
Speaker 3: And we still went to the casino with them.
25:35
Speaker 2: We still went to the casino with them.
25:37
Speaker 3: 30 minutes up the road.
25:39
Speaker 2: Mistakes were made, okay?
25:40
Speaker 3: Yes, they were. Anyway, Kelly Siegler, back to what I
25:46
Speaker 3: was saying, was known as one of the most formidable
25:50
Speaker 3: tenacious courtroom prosecutors in Texas history, having tried dozens of
25:55
Speaker 3: circumstantial cold cases without losing.
25:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with her. She's...
26:01
Speaker 2: I think she has a TV show and everything. She's done.
26:04
Speaker 2: She does, like, a cold case show now or something
26:07
Speaker 2: like that. Mm-hmm. Proved he was away from the house
26:27
Speaker 2: when the murder occurred. Wouldn't that be crazy if this
26:30
Speaker 2: was in Lufkin and I was like in the background
26:32
Speaker 2: of the video?
26:33
Speaker 3: Stacking crackers in there.
26:36
Speaker 2: Okay.
26:38
Speaker 3: Were you stacking crackers back then?
26:43
Speaker 2: No, I was not. That was a later career move
26:45
Speaker 2: for me. Later in my day career move.
26:49
Speaker 3: Siegler and detectives conducted a series of live, time-driving experiments
26:55
Speaker 3: replicating David's exact route. They proved that David could have
26:58
Speaker 3: shot Belinda in the closet at 4.32 p.m., thrown his
27:02
Speaker 3: shotgun in his truck, grabbed three-year-old Evan, and arrived at
27:05
Speaker 3: the Brookshire Brothers grocery store camera by 4.38 p.m., which
27:11
Speaker 3: it is a mere six-minute drive.
27:13
Speaker 1: Yes.
27:14
Speaker 2: Now, furthermore, Crime Lab identified Testing revealed traces of microscopic
27:19
Speaker 2: gunshot primer residue on the clothing David Temple was wearing
27:23
Speaker 2: when police arrived at the scene. On November 29, 2004,
27:27
Speaker 2: nearly six years after Belinda was murdered, David Temple was
27:32
Speaker 2: formally indicted and arrested for capital murder. And you know
27:35
Speaker 2: he thought he'd gotten away with this. You know he did.
27:37
Speaker 3: Almost six years, seven years.
27:39
Speaker 2: Got a new wife, everything, moving on. Everything's going great.
27:43
Speaker 3: In October of 2007, the high-profile murder trial of David
27:47
Speaker 3: Temple began in downtown Houston. The court was packed every
27:52
Speaker 3: single day with teachers, coaches, and family members wearing pins
27:56
Speaker 3: for Belinda.
27:57
Speaker 2: The defense, led by prominent attorney Dick DeGaran, Dick DeGaran,
28:03
Speaker 2: Dick DeGaran, Dick, we'll just call him Dick.
28:06
Speaker 1: Dick.
28:07
Speaker 2: Pointed the finger at 15-year-old neighbor and student of Belinda's
28:11
Speaker 2: named Riley Joe Sanders, claiming the teenager held a grudge
28:16
Speaker 2: against Belinda over truancy and broke in with friends. However,
28:20
Speaker 2: police had thoroughly cleared Sanders years earlier with alibis, polygraphs,
28:25
Speaker 2: and negative shotgun ballistic comparisons. Seriously, this is what you're
28:28
Speaker 2: going to... I mean, I can't believe he's going to
28:31
Speaker 2: try to.
28:31
Speaker 3: Frame somebody else?
28:32
Speaker 2: Yes, this is a defense thing. The third... Third person.
28:37
Speaker 2: It can be a defense thing, which they did not
28:39
Speaker 2: use in the Lindsay Clancy trial.
28:40
Speaker 3: They're just trying to do it by innuendo in that case.
28:44
Speaker 2: Yes. But for them to sit there and try to
28:47
Speaker 2: blame a 15-year-old and act like a 15-year-old is going
28:50
Speaker 2: to get away with this massive crime where other 15-year-olds,
28:55
Speaker 2: I presume their age would be around the same age,
28:57
Speaker 2: would all keep this secret that they murdered a teacher
29:02
Speaker 2: and her unborn child. I mean.
29:04
Speaker 3: Basically blew her head off.
29:05
Speaker 2: Yes, like that no one's going to have trauma from that,
29:09
Speaker 2: being a teenager doing that, and all of them are
29:10
Speaker 2: just going to, I mean, I could see one being
29:12
Speaker 2: like crazy or psychotic, but multiple, no.
29:16
Speaker 3: Kelly Siegler delivered a master class in circumstantial prosecution. She
29:21
Speaker 3: walked the jury through the stage broken glass, the silent
29:25
Speaker 3: guard dog, the Kerrville affair confession, the microscopic gunshot residue,
29:31
Speaker 3: and the airtight six-minute drive timeline.
29:34
Speaker 2: On November 15, 2007, the jury found David Temple guilty
29:37
Speaker 2: of murder. He was sentenced to life in prison. For
29:42
Speaker 2: Belinda's family, it felt like justice had finally been delivered.
29:46
Speaker 3: Probably should have been the death penalty.
29:48
Speaker 2: I mean, if they had the correct evidence, there's no
29:50
Speaker 2: way they're going to get a death penalty. They would
29:52
Speaker 2: be stupid to ask for a death penalty with that.
29:55
Speaker 2: We have a visitor, guys. We're going to try to
29:57
Speaker 2: finish this up with the visitor.
29:58
Speaker 1: Yes.
30:00
Speaker 2: There's no way they'd get the death penalty with that
30:02
Speaker 2: kind of evidence. To be honest with you, they're lucky
30:05
Speaker 2: they got a conviction.
30:09
Speaker 3: However, the legal saga of David Temple was far from over.
30:13
Speaker 3: In 2012, defense attorneys filed appeals claiming that prosecutors had
30:17
Speaker 3: improperly delayed handing over hundreds of pages of police interview
30:22
Speaker 3: notes regarding the teenage neighbor Riley Jo Sanders.
30:27
Speaker 2: In November 2016, well, actually in 2012, I was just
30:30
Speaker 2: going to state that I would have been probably stalking
30:34
Speaker 2: the shelves with Lance Crackers at that time. In November 2016,
30:37
Speaker 2: the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals overturned David Temple's conviction,
30:43
Speaker 2: ruling that the defense was entitled to review all investigative files.
30:47
Speaker 2: David was released on bond after spending nine years in
30:51
Speaker 2: prison awaiting a second trial.
30:54
Speaker 3: Probably went out and got him some roadies.
30:56
Speaker 2: What is wrong with you? What went to Bucky's?
30:58
Speaker 3: Bucky's.
30:59
Speaker 2: Bucky's took off right then.
31:00
Speaker 3: Got some brisket. In the summer of 2019, David Timble
31:04
Speaker 3: stood trial for murder for a second time in Harris County.
31:08
Speaker 3: A brand new jury listened to weeks of forensic testimony, ballistics,
31:12
Speaker 3: and timeline analysis. In August of 2019, that second jury
31:17
Speaker 3: returned the exact same verdict. Guilty of murder.
31:21
Speaker 2: Yep, so he got to get out for a little
31:24
Speaker 2: bit and then had to go back in. During the
31:26
Speaker 2: 2019 punishment phase, the jury deadlocked on his sentencing length,
31:31
Speaker 2: forcing a separate sentencing trial. Finally, in April 2023, so
31:35
Speaker 2: here we are not too long ago, a third jury
31:39
Speaker 2: sentenced David Temple to life in prison with no chance
31:42
Speaker 2: of parole until 2044, when he will be 75 years old.
31:48
Speaker 2: So this was a very long time for Belinda's family
31:51
Speaker 2: to get finalized justice, I would say. But I do
31:56
Speaker 2: believe he definitely did it.
31:58
Speaker 3: Yes.
31:59
Speaker 2: He definitely did it. The 15-year-old next door did not
32:02
Speaker 2: do it with his buddies.
32:03
Speaker 3: No, Ginger the dog gave it away.
32:05
Speaker 2: Yes, Ginger the dog.
32:06
Speaker 3: If Ginger the dog had crossed the Rainbow Bridge before
32:09
Speaker 3: this happened, then there might have been somebody on the
32:14
Speaker 3: jury that had some reasonable doubt.
32:15
Speaker 2: Yes, but they're like, I trust that the dog would
32:17
Speaker 2: have barked.
32:18
Speaker 3: The dog would have barked.
32:19
Speaker 2: Because I've been around a similar dog, and they're annoying. Yes.
32:23
Speaker 2: All right, so that is our case for this week. Stu,
32:25
Speaker 2: do you have a Y'all Need Jesus ready to go?
32:28
Speaker 2: Please tell me yes.
32:29
Speaker 3: I do. Coming to us from WKBN.com. Not sure where
32:34
Speaker 3: that is. From Josh Fritterick, whatever, and Kristen Hefner, Laurel Stone,
32:43
Speaker 3: and Lindsay Watson. It took four people to write this?
32:48
Speaker 3: Your staff is bloated. It's insane.
32:51
Speaker 2: Probably like, what is the generation that's below me? Gen Z.
32:57
Speaker 2: You know, they like to take their vacations. They like to,
33:00
Speaker 2: they probably like start someone one, you know, they like to,
33:04
Speaker 2: I've noticed talking to younger people at my work that
33:09
Speaker 2: they are not afraid to leave a company and switch
33:12
Speaker 2: to another one. They're not afraid to go and take
33:15
Speaker 2: a chance. They will not be working overtime. They are
33:18
Speaker 2: going to be taking their vacation. I appreciate that because
33:21
Speaker 2: I feel the same way. So we're finally moving into that,
33:24
Speaker 2: but it's probably, we're four times, they probably had one
33:27
Speaker 2: person writing the article at a time, but each time
33:29
Speaker 2: that person wrote a couple paragraphs and then quit.
33:31
Speaker 3: Then they had to go on a vacation.
33:32
Speaker 2: Or they had to take a personal day.
33:35
Speaker 3: Yes. 49ers, owner, arrested.
33:40
Speaker 2: Not Florida.
33:41
Speaker 3: In, how do you know? He could have been arrested
33:44
Speaker 3: in Florida.
33:44
Speaker 2: Well, this is true.
33:45
Speaker 3: In a local prostitution sting.
33:48
Speaker 2: Not Florida.
33:49
Speaker 3: East Palestine, Ohio. San Francisco 49ers owner.
33:53
Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't have guessed Ohio.
33:55
Speaker 3: No.
33:56
Speaker 2: You could have said Ohio or not Ohio, and I
33:58
Speaker 2: would have been like, not Ohio.
33:59
Speaker 3: It gets even stranger than that. Because the owner, John
34:03
Speaker 3: Jed York, was arrested in the Valley over the weekend
34:06
Speaker 3: and found guilty of two misdemeanor charges after courtroom documents
34:09
Speaker 3: state that he responded to an undercover crime law enforcement
34:13
Speaker 3: advertisement on a prostitution website. York, these stupid ads. York
34:22
Speaker 3: was arrested Sunday in East Palestine, or they call it Palestine,
34:26
Speaker 3: I think, and posted $ 5, 000 bond. And after David states
34:30
Speaker 3: that York responded to an ad on a known prostitution
34:33
Speaker 3: website that unbeknownst to him was posted by an agent
34:37
Speaker 3: with Is there not.
34:41
Speaker 2: Anything else better for law enforcement to do besides this?
34:45
Speaker 2: This is so stupid. There are other things to be done.
34:50
Speaker 3: The document states that York arranged to have sexual activity
34:53
Speaker 3: with a woman in exchange for $ 140. Police took him
34:58
Speaker 3: into custody and state he had the phone he used
35:00
Speaker 3: to arrange the meeting. The police report lists the time
35:04
Speaker 3: and location of the arrest at 9.35 a.m. at Wheat
35:08
Speaker 3: Hill Mobile Home Community off State Route 170.
35:13
Speaker 2: This is the San Francisco 49's owner?
35:16
Speaker 3: Yes. In Ohio.
35:18
Speaker 2: Why is that a mobile home?
35:19
Speaker 3: Going to a mobile home park.
35:21
Speaker 2: There's no way.
35:22
Speaker 3: This is actually real.
35:25
Speaker 2: Well, they haven't been doing well the past few years.
35:27
Speaker 2: Maybe times are tough.
35:29
Speaker 3: Well, they had some things going on. Those affiliated with
35:32
Speaker 3: the mobile home park said they were not involved in
35:35
Speaker 3: the sting operations. York pleaded no contest Monday morning to
35:38
Speaker 3: misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. Record
35:43
Speaker 3: state he was originally.
35:43
Speaker 2: What was the criminal tool? His penis?
35:45
Speaker 3: Maybe. Record state he was originally charged with engaging in prostitution,
35:51
Speaker 3: but it was amended to disorderly conduct as part of
35:54
Speaker 3: a plea agreement.
35:56
Speaker 2: This is crazy. How much is he.
35:59
Speaker 3: Yes.
36:00
Speaker 2: How much is he.
36:01
Speaker 3: He could call a prostitute... He's.
36:04
Speaker 2: A principal owner and chief executive officer of the San
36:07
Speaker 2: Francisco 49ers.
36:09
Speaker 3: Yes. Where was I? The station reached out to the
36:16
Speaker 3: NFL requesting comment, received the following statement. We are aware
36:20
Speaker 3: of the matter, which will be reviewed under the personal
36:22
Speaker 3: conduct policy. 49ers also commented saying, as this is a
36:26
Speaker 3: legal matter, which has been resolved, we will not be
36:29
Speaker 3: providing any further comment at this time. Court records show
36:33
Speaker 3: York filed a motion to seal court documents related to
36:36
Speaker 3: the incident. That motion was denied, so we know he
36:39
Speaker 3: was trying to.
36:39
Speaker 2: He's worth $ 500 million, Stuart.
36:43
Speaker 3: Yes.
36:43
Speaker 2: He's 46 years old and he's not bad looking. What
36:46
Speaker 2: the hell?
36:47
Speaker 3: And he's trying to go to a mobile home for $ 140.
36:50
Speaker 2: His family is worth $ 8. 5 billion, Stuart. Jesus Christ. What
36:57
Speaker 2: is wrong with people?
36:58
Speaker 3: York was sentenced to two days in the Columbiana... county
37:02
Speaker 3: jail to be served concurrently with credit for a day served.
37:07
Speaker 3: He also ordered to pay $ 1, 150 in fines. I guess
37:10
Speaker 3: he has the money.
37:11
Speaker 2: The real crime is he was only going to pay
37:13
Speaker 2: the girl $ 140 when he clearly had enough money to really...
37:18
Speaker 2: You know what? This is a bunch of bullshit. I'm
37:20
Speaker 2: mad at the police department. This could have been a
37:23
Speaker 2: pretty woman situation for some young lady who went in
37:28
Speaker 2: and just worked her magic for $ 140 and And then
37:31
Speaker 2: all of a sudden he falls in love with her.
37:32
Speaker 2: He takes her back to San Francisco. She just goes
37:36
Speaker 2: in and goes shopping. I mean, they really did some
37:38
Speaker 2: girl a disservice. She could have gotten a real big tip.
37:41
Speaker 3: And then George Costanza tries to rape her. What?
37:44
Speaker 2: What? What the heck is that? Where did that come from?
37:48
Speaker 3: George Costanza was in that movie.
37:50
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
37:51
Speaker 3: And he tried to get with her. I'm like, Seinfeld?
37:53
Speaker 2: What do you mean? Yes, he did try to sexually
37:56
Speaker 2: assault Julia Roberts and everything. It's like, you're just a prostitute. Anyways,
38:01
Speaker 2: they really ruined an opportunity for a young lady to
38:04
Speaker 2: really just.
38:05
Speaker 3: Boost her profile. It wasn't a young lady. It was
38:09
Speaker 3: an agent.
38:09
Speaker 2: No, but he was soliciting for sex. So therefore, there
38:14
Speaker 2: should have been an actual person on the other end
38:16
Speaker 2: of that that could have had a rags-to-riches situation. All right,
38:20
Speaker 2: just had to delete everything Stu just said. So continue
38:23
Speaker 2: on with your thing. This is also just a stupid
38:27
Speaker 2: use of police... when there's probably untested rape kits at
38:34
Speaker 2: the office right now over in Ohio that they could
38:36
Speaker 2: have been using these funds for that.
38:38
Speaker 3: Court orders show the cell phone was ordered returned to
38:41
Speaker 3: the owner, but the $ 160 seized shall be forfeited to
38:47
Speaker 3: the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force as part of
38:51
Speaker 3: the agreement. See, he even brought a $ 20 tip.
38:54
Speaker 2: What a nice fellow.
38:56
Speaker 3: York is a Cardinal Mooney graduate and became team president
38:59
Speaker 3: of the Niners in 2008. The end of this story.
39:04
Speaker 2: That is absolutely insane. That someone worth $ 500 million, families
39:09
Speaker 2: worth $ 8. 5 billion, gets picked up in a trailer park
39:13
Speaker 2: in Ohio trying to pay for sex.
39:16
Speaker 1: Yes.
39:16
Speaker 3: That's crazy. In a mobile home park. Wow.
39:20
Speaker 2: Well, that's quite the doozy, Stu. And if you thought
39:22
Speaker 2: your life was rough, Doesn't matter. He gets to go
39:25
Speaker 2: home and sleep on his, like, 4,000-count thread sheets and
39:29
Speaker 2: his golden toilet.
39:30
Speaker 3: His mattress is just a pile of money. I don't know.
39:34
Speaker 2: Let's find out if he's married. They're always married. Let's see.
39:37
Speaker 3: I would assume he is.
39:39
Speaker 2: They're always married. They always have children because they've got
39:42
Speaker 2: to present. As upstanding gentlemen.
39:45
Speaker 3: As children that listen to this podcast.
39:47
Speaker 2: Oh, he's legally married, but currently going through a divorce.
39:52
Speaker 2: He married Danielle Bellumini, a former 6th grade science teacher.
39:58
Speaker 2: On June 24, 2011, she is going to make bank.
40:02
Speaker 2: They've been married for 15 years.
40:04
Speaker 3: See, he already had his pretty woman story. She left
40:06
Speaker 3: him because she was like, hey, I've been in long
40:08
Speaker 3: enough now.
40:09
Speaker 2: No, he probably left him because of his out there.
40:14
Speaker 2: Looking for hookers and blow, probably.
40:16
Speaker 3: That's probably because she left him.
40:19
Speaker 2: When did this happen?
40:21
Speaker 3: I don't know. Like 11 days ago.
40:22
Speaker 2: Oh, well, she filed for divorce on May 11, 2026.
40:27
Speaker 2: They have two sons together, Jackson and Brixton. Both with
40:33
Speaker 2: X's in their names.
40:35
Speaker 3: That's tough.
40:36
Speaker 2: They filed divorce for irreconcilable differences, probably because he was
40:40
Speaker 2: cheating on her.
40:41
Speaker 3: This is one week ago.
40:43
Speaker 2: Well, joint legal and physical custody of their children while
40:48
Speaker 2: they await a final court date.
40:51
Speaker 3: She was probably withholding love and affection from him while
40:53
Speaker 3: she was filing for the thing. Probably doing the cabana boy.
40:58
Speaker 2: No, I don't think she was the problem. Anyways, all right. Well,
41:01
Speaker 2: that is our case for this week. Stu, do you
41:04
Speaker 2: have anything else you'd like to add?
41:07
Speaker 3: I do.
41:07
Speaker 2: Our little new co-host is getting angry.
41:10
Speaker 3: He's hungry.
41:10
Speaker 2: He's hungry.
41:11
Speaker 3: I guess I will have to feed him. Yes.
41:14
Speaker 2: And then, so yeah, I think that's it.
41:16
Speaker 3: Those little fat rolls.
41:17
Speaker 2: He's an old chunky boy. Chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky.
41:23
Speaker 3: All right.
41:24
Speaker 2: You going to say something? He can't. He's five months
41:26
Speaker 2: old in case you're new here.
41:30
Speaker 1: All right.
41:30
Speaker 2: Well, you guys stay safe. Lock your doors and keep
41:34
Speaker 2: that porch light on. Bye, everyone. Say bye, Stu.
41:36
Speaker 3: Bye, Stu.
41:38
Speaker 1: Don't you know it's bad luck to be superstitious But nothing.
41:47
Speaker 3: Else is working And my
41:50
Speaker 1: Head is really hurting And I'm sick of all this
41:55
Speaker 1: worrying About things I can't control
