- 0:05Speaker 1: Kentucky bourbon executive Wes Henderson has lost his executive job
- 0:10Speaker 1: and faces explosive legal trouble following shocking allegations that he
- 0:14Speaker 1: secretly recorded family members, guests, and minors across multiple private
- 0:19Speaker 1: residences in a luxury castle resort. TKC Distilling, the parent
- 0:24Speaker 1: company of the Kentucky Castle and True Story Whiskey, officially
- 0:28Speaker 1: terminated Henderson as chief executive officer on October 3rd. The
- 0:32Speaker 1: firing stems from an explosive civil lawsuit filed against Henderson
- 0:36Speaker 1: by his own family members in Oldham County, Kentucky. Federal
- 0:40Speaker 1: authorities have also taken notice, with the Department of Homeland
- 0:43Speaker 1: Security actively examining the hidden recordings Henderson allegedly created. According
- 0:49Speaker 1: to a now-sealed complaint, the allegations first unfolded during a
- 0:53Speaker 1: family vacation in June 2025 at Henderson's property near Melbourne, Florida.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Relatives discovered roughly 15 concealed cameras hidden throughout the residence
- 1:03Speaker 1: disguised as fire alarms, wall clocks, Bluetooth speakers, fans, phone
- 1:08Speaker 1: charging blocks, and electrical outlet extenders. They also uncovered a
- 1:12Speaker 1: camera hidden inside a bathroom air vent, as well as
- 1:15Speaker 1: video footage depicting Henderson positioning a camera directly in front
- 1:19Speaker 1: of a bed. The court complaint details disturbing video recordings
- 1:23Speaker 1: of guests changing clothes and using restrooms without their knowledge
- 1:27Speaker 1: or consent, in addition to individuals engaged in sexual acts.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Some recordings allegedly showed Henderson, who is married, having sex
- 1:36Speaker 1: with other women, while other footage captured minors while they
- 1:39Speaker 1: were nude. Disturbed by the discoveries, family members handed the
- 1:43Speaker 1: evidence over to law enforcement authorities. A subsequent search of
- 1:47Speaker 1: Henderson's home in Oldham County uncovered additional hidden recording devices,
- 1:51Speaker 1: while memory cards revealed further footage recorded at the Kentucky
- 1:55Speaker 1: Castle in Versailles, Kentucky. In total, the lawsuit identifies 40
- 1:59Speaker 1: people who appeared in recordings without consent, including a homeless
- 2:03Speaker 1: person carrying a medical device into a restroom. The plaintiffs
- 2:07Speaker 1: are seeking monetary damages for pain, suffering, and medical expenses
- 2:12Speaker 1: and have requested a full trial by jury. Henderson's attorney
- 2:15Speaker 1: released a statement denying the allegations. Henderson's attorney released a
- 2:20Speaker 1: statement denying the allegations, stating that Henderson expects the complaint
- 2:24Speaker 1: to be voluntarily dismissed, but is prepared to defend himself
- 2:28Speaker 1: vigorously if necessary. Meanwhile, Charity Bird, an attorney for TKC Distilling,
- 2:33Speaker 1: confirmed Henderson's immediate termination, noting that his son, Kyle Henderson,
- 2:38Speaker 1: will step in as CEO. Bird stated the company board
- 2:42Speaker 1: plans to conduct a thorough independent investigation into the claims. Henderson,
- 2:47Speaker 1: a former firefighter, has also taken a leave of absence
- 2:50Speaker 1: from his role as Oldham County Deputy Coroner. Meanwhile, local
- 2:54Speaker 1: police departments in Florida and Kentucky report they are still
- 2:57Speaker 1: determining jurisdiction over the physical evidence, with Versailles Police Chief
- 3:02Speaker 1: Rob Young confirming his department is currently not involved. More
- 3:06Speaker 1: crime and justice news after this. An Arizona man who
- 3:11Speaker 1: was previously detained and released during the investigation into the
- 3:15Speaker 1: unsolved kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie has been arrested once again,
- 3:19Speaker 1: this time on unrelated charges. Pima County Sheriff's Department officials
- 3:23Speaker 1: confirmed that 37-year-old Luke Daly was booked into the Pima
- 3:27Speaker 1: County Adult Detention Complex on September 30th. Daly, who has
- 3:31Speaker 1: a lengthy criminal record with prior felony convictions, was pulled
- 3:35Speaker 1: over in a Culver's parking lot on February 13 while
- 3:38Speaker 1: investigators also raided his mother's residence. The high-profile search occurred
- 3:43Speaker 1: just two miles from where 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was abducted
- 3:47Speaker 1: from her Tucson home in the Catalina foothills. Daly was
- 3:50Speaker 1: released without charges hours later, and his attorney, Chris Selepi,
- 3:55Speaker 1: maintained that Daly had no link to Guthrie's disappearance. However,
- 3:59Speaker 1: Daly had pending drug and firearm charges and was on
- 4:02Speaker 1: probation for a separate case involving weapons and drug violations,
- 4:06Speaker 1: which prosecutors are now seeking to revoke. Nancy Guthrie, the
- 4:10Speaker 1: mother of Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie, has now been
- 4:13Speaker 1: missing for more than eight months. A masked intruder seen
- 4:17Speaker 1: on Ness' doorbell video at her home around the time
- 4:19Speaker 1: of her abduction remains at large. Investigators have received ransom
- 4:24Speaker 1: demands and notes claiming her death through online media submission
- 4:28Speaker 1: forms though their authenticity remains unconfirmed. A combined reward of
- 4:33Speaker 1: over $ 1. 2 million remains available for information leading to her whereabouts,
- 4:38Speaker 1: and authorities urge anyone with tips to call 1-800-FBI or
- 4:42Speaker 1: Tucson Crime Stoppers at 520-88-CRIME. More than 33 years after
- 4:48Speaker 1: 55-year-old Tommy Davis was brutally murdered inside her own home,
- 4:52Speaker 1: police in Dallas, Texas have finally announced an arrest. On
- 4:56Speaker 1: May 18, 1993, Davis was found stabbed and beaten to
- 5:01Speaker 1: death with a 2x4 inside her residence. The original investigation
- 5:05Speaker 1: went cold due to a lack of leads, with only
- 5:08Speaker 1: minor front door damage and missing items noted at the
- 5:11Speaker 1: crime scene. The cold case gained fresh momentum last year
- 5:15Speaker 1: when Dallas Police Detective Andrea Isom reexamined the file. Detective
- 5:19Speaker 1: Isom took a blood sample recovered from a wall inside
- 5:22Speaker 1: the residence, which did not belong to Davis, and entered
- 5:25Speaker 1: it into CODIS, the National Forensic DNA Database. The database
- 5:30Speaker 1: yielded a direct hit for Tommy Lynn Jones, an alias
- 5:33Speaker 1: used by 56-year-old Gary Lynn Ross. When interrogated by police,
- 5:38Speaker 1: Ross admitted being inside Davis' home days prior to her murder,
- 5:42Speaker 1: but denied involvement. Utilizing forensic evidence and crime scene details,
- 5:47Speaker 1: Detective Isom obtained an arrest warrant. Ross was arrested on Saturday,
- 5:51Speaker 1: October 2nd, and is currently held at the Lou Starrett
- 5:54Speaker 1: Justice Center, charged with capital murder. For more crime and
