Latest / True Crime with Gavin Fish / D.V. Allegations Surface in Police Report Involving YouTuber JLR Investigates
Transcript
- 0:02Allegations have been made public regarding ADV situation
- 0:12involving a content creator on YouTube, man named Jonathan Lee
- 0:19Riches, who has a channel, very popular channel, more than half
- 0:23a million subscribers called JLR Investigates.
- 0:27And we've seen him on the ground in a lot of places around the
- 0:32states over the last couple years, including in Tucson, AZ
- 0:36with the latest situation there with Nancy Guthrie.
- 0:41Now, I, when I learned about this from a viewer, thank you
- 0:46very much for sending that in to me.
- 0:48I know that you want to remain anonymous.
- 0:51I hemmed and hawed over whether we would cover this or not,
- 0:56because the last time I mentioned anything about Mr.
- 1:00Rich's I actually got pretty scary threats that were sent my
- 1:06way. Not from him, but from his, I
- 1:12guess, adherence. His followers, his subscribers,
- 1:14his viewers. Not all of them.
- 1:16Again, just a couple of bad seeds, but DV is something that
- 1:22we take very seriously in the true crime community because it
- 1:26is a precursor, it is an indicator of future crimes.
- 1:31And so I think that it's the responsible thing to do to talk
- 1:36about it. So we're going to get into it.
- 1:38But I do want to point out, and this is very important, that
- 1:42these are allegations. They've not been proven and and
- 1:49Mr. Rich's, you know, gets his day in court.
- 1:54Hopefully that will happen soon. We have the documents here.
- 1:58We're going to get into them. Plus, we've got some stories
- 2:02about the Nancy Guthrie case. We got a story about our old
- 2:07friend, he says, tongue planted firmly in cheek.
- 2:14Shanda Vander Ark and we've got a little update on the Joseph
- 2:19Duggar situation, so stick with me.
- 2:23We've got a lot to go over today.
- 2:37This video contains mature themes and discussions intended
- 2:40only for adult audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.
- 2:46Hello there, my friend, and welcome back to another true
- 2:49crime conversation with me, Gavin Fish.
- 2:53So glad that you're joining me. Wherever you're joining me from.
- 2:55Please tell me in the comments your current location.
- 2:58Not specifically, we don't want to be dachshund anyone.
- 3:01Just you know, where where in the world are you?
- 3:04I'd like to know. And bonus points for those who
- 3:08can do so creatively. Mega super bonus points.
- 3:12I've decided if you can do it creatively and make it so that
- 3:18I'm strangling her. The filing obtained by the Post
- 3:22alleges Riches, a convicted felon who spent ten years in
- 3:25federal prison over a credit card fraud scheme, was in a
- 3:30relationship with Phillips beginning early 2023 that
- 3:32spiraled into, quote, a persistent and escalating
- 3:36pattern of DA, coercive control, intimidation, financial
- 3:41exploitation and physical violence.
- 3:42If this is true, this is Gavin speaking here, not the article.
- 3:46If this is true, it makes his coverage.
- 3:51I remember he was one of the people that was on the ground I
- 3:53think if I remember correctly in Myrtle Beach SC covering the
- 3:59Micah Miller death. So it makes it all the more
- 4:05disturbing where he's covering a crime that Miss Phillips is
- 4:11alleging he is guilty of. And by the way, it looks like
- 4:15the post only obtained the Arkansas stuff.
- 4:19I have obtained again through jewels, the actual criminal
- 4:24complaint from the state of Washington.
- 4:26I we're going to go over it, but I've posted it on Patreon.
- 4:30There's always a link to my Patreon down below.
- 4:34It's one of the benefits of being one of my patrons.
- 4:36I try to get you as much as as much for supporting me as I can.
- 4:44So I usually put the documents there or on my website where my
- 4:47patrons can get them. But don't worry if you're not a
- 4:50patron. Again, we're going to get into
- 4:52this. Continuing the article,
- 4:55according to the handwritten affidavit, which we have, again,
- 4:59we have that too. The alleged December 24th
- 5:02assault left Phillips with quote extreme injuries broken
- 5:06including broken nose and septum significant trauma to my head
- 5:10and ribs close quote requiring emergency medical care CD scans
- 5:15and X-rays and that she will need reconstructive surgery.
- 5:19Phillips claims Riches assaulted her on mobile is just over in to
- 5:25my YouTube settings. YouTube is not receiving enough
- 5:29video to maintain stream smooth streaming.
- 5:33It tells me, let's just go to a OK, it actually it's, it's
- 5:42saying that it's better now. So I hope that it is.
- 5:52Well, this might be a yeah, it says excellent.
- 5:55Now the connection is excellent. So we I maybe we've fixed it.
- 5:58I hope that we've fixed it. So let's go over to and let me
- 6:05just check in with Autumn here real quick.
- 6:23All right, do it like that. OK, let's go back over to
- 6:31Acrobat and we will get into the actual document that I want to
- 6:34show you guys. OK, now I want you to check in
- 6:38with me. In fact, let's let's go over.
- 6:40Let's just take a moment. I did see a super chat.
- 6:44Thank you very much, Jennifer. 15 years DV survivor.
- 6:50I will support Jamie Magnolia 100%.
- 6:53Takes a lot to call for help. Got you, Max.
- 6:56Thank and thank you for the sentiment and the Super chat,
- 7:00super chat. I really appreciate that.
- 7:03Just checking in with where you guys are coming in from.
- 7:07What do we got? We got, I just want this to, we
- 7:13got Montana in the house. We got California in the house.
- 7:19I just want to make sure, yeah, lagging for many people.
- 7:23Hopefully, hopefully we can we can fix this.
- 7:27YouTube says it is doing better and it might just be YouTube
- 7:33right now. And thanks for thanks for being
- 7:36patient. PA is in the house.
- 7:39Who else have we got here? We've got Prague is in the
- 7:43house. Thank you for being here.
- 7:45Buffering buffering, buffering JLR does have a record.
- 7:49He has a record and served time for sure.
- 7:54Liv Wade I I think that we have I think we may have fixed it
- 8:03man. I'm I may have to I may have to
- 8:05restart here. Let me see if I can.
- 8:12The stream status does say poor. Oh, now it says excellent again.
- 8:25Well, I, I hope we, we may have to just do a yeah, now it's back
- 8:33to excellent. So I hope that I hope that it
- 8:37works out and we're able to to get through this because this is
- 8:41an important, an important conversation.
- 8:44OK. This from the Chelan County
- 8:49Sheriff's Office. This is from a Washington state.
- 8:53This was filed on December 25th of 2025.
- 8:58The report came in at 9:18 AM. The complainant was Jamie
- 9:05Phillips. The report ASNC assault not
- 9:09classified ASNA assault, no weapon, aggravated injury,
- 9:14harassment and interference with ADV report got the responding
- 9:24officers here. You can just kind of, kind of
- 9:26see this. Our suspect is Jonathan Lee
- 9:31Riches and we'll get into the affidavit of probable cause
- 9:37here. OK, so here's the narrative.
- 9:40The following report is a summary of an incident which
- 9:44occurred to my recollection. This report also serves as a
- 9:47summary of my involvement and understanding of said incident.
- 9:52Furthermore, portions of my involvement were recorded by
- 9:56audio and video on my department issued Axon Body worn camera.
- 10:01Please review the incident recordings for chronological
- 10:04order, exact statements made, and or for further information
- 10:08outside of this report. I'm curious if body worn camera
- 10:16footage is going to come out on this.
- 10:18I will. I don't know what the state of
- 10:22Washington's laws are when it comes to Freedom of Information
- 10:26Law or Act or Right to Know a law, whatever they call it in
- 10:29Washington state Sunshine Law, but I will be putting in for
- 10:34those. On December 25th, 2025 at
- 10:37approximately 10/21 AMI, Deputy K Talley was working uniformed
- 10:43patrol and driving a fully marked patrol vehicle for the
- 10:47Chelan County Sheriff's Office. I responded to the All Season
- 10:51River Inn located at 8751 Icicle Road in Leavenworth, WA for a
- 10:58report of an assault. The victim reporting party
- 11:02identified herself as Jamie T Phillips.
- 11:06And then there's a redaction. I think that's probably date of
- 11:10birth right there. I did not react this part.
- 11:12There are portions of this that I redacted.
- 11:15We don't need to give away Mr. Rich's address, the last four of
- 11:19his social, his date of birth, his telephone number.
- 11:21I've redacted those things, but there are some things that were
- 11:24redacted by the police. Jamie told dispatch she received
- 11:30an injury to her nose from a fight last night with her
- 11:33boyfriend Jonathan Riches. I'm sure that's the date of
- 11:36birth. Rivercom was also informed
- 11:39Jonathan had taken Jamie's phone and left last night.
- 11:43The taking of a phone is a classic coercive control move.
- 11:50It's a, and again, these are allegations, right?
- 11:54But this is a classic move for somebody who you know, is
- 12:01coercively controlling, Deputy Tally continues.
- 12:07I arrived at the location at the same time as AID, so yeah, an
- 12:12ambulance probably. Maybe paramedics or something?
- 12:16We contacted Jamie in the main entrance door.
- 12:18I could visibly see bruising around Jamie's right eye,
- 12:22consistent with being in the early stages of a black eye.
- 12:27I could also see a small red mark on the upper right corner
- 12:31of the bridge of Jamie's nose. Her nose was visibly not
- 12:35straight and resembled what I have observed through training
- 12:39and experience to be broken. Jamie requested we all speak in
- 12:44the room where her belongings were, which is in the Shenandoah
- 12:48room at this location upstairs. Hey, let me just pause here for
- 12:52a second, again, with the caveat that these are allegations that
- 12:59Jamie has made to police, the police are making against Mr.
- 13:03Riches. But good on Jamie for making the
- 13:11call. Assuming all of this is true,
- 13:16right? Assuming it's true, that is a
- 13:21very, very difficult thing to do.
- 13:24And though it matters little, coming from just another little
- 13:29YouTube in my Home Office in Western Pennsylvania, I'm proud
- 13:37of her that that's tough to make that call.
- 13:41OK. Continuing the narrative, Jamie
- 13:43advised sometime between 2300 hours, so 11:00 PM and midnight
- 13:48last night, December 24th of 2025, she had confronted
- 13:52Jonathan about things she observed on his work phone.
- 13:57Jamie stated it was things such as communication with other
- 14:00women and what she described to be porn.
- 14:04Jamie stated when she addressed this with Jonathan, he became
- 14:08enraged and struck her with a closed fist multiple times on
- 14:13the side of her head, her nose, and her ribs.
- 14:17Jamie stated she grabbed her phone and began to dial 911 for
- 14:22help, but Jonathan saw her doing this, took her phone from her
- 14:27and said I will effing kill you. You know, when somebody
- 14:34threatens your life. I've said this over and over and
- 14:37over again, as Jamie alleges in this narrative as as written by
- 14:46Deputy Phillip, Deputy Tally, believe them.
- 14:51Believe them it is. I mean, the likelihood that
- 14:56something is going to happen increases many fold.
- 14:59I don't know how many fold. I don't, I don't have the
- 15:03statistics off the top of my head, but it's, it's
- 15:05statistically significant. OK.
- 15:09So, you know, if if you are in a position right now, like the one
- 15:14that Jamie Phillips is describing in this narrative #1
- 15:21you're not alone. This happens to so many people,
- 15:24mostly women #2 there is help, there is help near you.
- 15:30And if they have told you that they will kill you, believe them
- 15:37and summon up just all the courage that you can, knowing I
- 15:41just know how difficult it is. But, but summit it all up.
- 15:46Summit, summon it all up. In every county in the states
- 15:53there is help for DV, OK? And we as your fellow country
- 15:59people and citizens and taxpayers want you to get that
- 16:04help, OK? I asked Jamie continues to
- 16:11Deputy Tally if she believed this threat to be true.
- 16:14She stated she believed he would kill her.
- 16:17Jamie stated she believes at some point she lost
- 16:19consciousness after the assault but remembered Jonathan grabbing
- 16:242 bags, his personal cell phone, Jamie's cell phone, and then
- 16:29leaving. I asked Jamie what phone she
- 16:32currently had and she stated it was Jonathan's work phone that
- 16:35he left behind. Jamie stated she did not know
- 16:39where he went but believed he may have taken the white Jeep
- 16:42Compass they rented. Let me pause here for just a
- 16:45second. This is where I'm coming back.
- 16:50I've noticed in the clips that I've watched of JLR
- 16:52Investigates, he will hold up a phone and it looks like he's
- 16:57using a phone to film that, right?
- 16:59He'll have, he'll have basically has 2 phones.
- 17:03And I know this is just me. This is just me, right?
- 17:07What bona fides do I have? But it just seems like a shady
- 17:15thing to have multiple phones. It just does.
- 17:18It reminds me of like Better Call Saul or something.
- 17:21It's just weird every time I've seen that.
- 17:24But but I've said to myself, you know what he's doing that he has
- 17:27two of them for the purpose of, you know, holding up the little
- 17:32graphic. So it's his shtick.
- 17:34It's it's kind of his trademark. But still, I don't know, it's
- 17:37still kind of weirded me out. All right, whatever.
- 17:44Deputy Tally continues. I observed a white Jeep Compass
- 17:48to be parked outside prior to making contact with Jamie.
- 17:52I asked Jamie if she would be willing to have her injuries
- 17:54photographed for documentation. Jamie agreed.
- 17:58Jamie, the paternal pride and we're probably close to the same
- 18:03age, but I don't know. I just look at these things
- 18:05paternalistically. I think of my daughter's.
- 18:09That is a hard thing to do and, and she agreed.
- 18:12Awesome. Due to most of the medics on
- 18:15scene and my and myself to be male and one of the areas of
- 18:19injury requiring Jamie to lift her shirt, I asked a female
- 18:23medic if she would be willing to take photos of Jamie's injuries
- 18:27with my department issued cell phone in the bathroom of the
- 18:30hotel room, to which she agreed and completed.
- 18:34These photos will be uploaded for evidence upon completion of
- 18:38documenting the injuries. Jamie was transported to the
- 18:42Cascade Medical Center for evaluation.
- 18:45Great, great. Get that on record.
- 18:49I requested Rivercom and I believe that's the
- 18:52communications. You know, the 911 center, the
- 18:55dispatch center to put an on the lookout for Jonathan.
- 19:04I responded to the Cascade Medical Center continues Deputy
- 19:09Tally and met with Jamie in Emergency Room number 3.
- 19:14I asked Jamie if she would be willing to complete a medical
- 19:17release form for documentation of injuries received from the
- 19:20assault. Jamie agreed and a medical
- 19:24release form was completed, signed and provided to the
- 19:27medical facility staff. Excellent.
- 19:32Honestly, these are all these are every action that she has
- 19:38taken, attempting to call 911, calling 911, getting police out
- 19:44there, getting medics out there, telling her story, getting
- 19:49photographic evidence, going to the hospital, signing the
- 19:52medical release form. Each one of those steps is like
- 19:56climbing Everest for a victim of DV.
- 20:00It is so, so important and I just feel so proud man again.
- 20:09The caveat that these are allegations, right?
- 20:12OK. Jamie stated Jonathan had been
- 20:15texting the work phone knowing he left it behind.
- 20:19He told Jamie he was quote, 100 miles away from her. close quote
- 20:24and quote in the middle of nowhere. close quote.
- 20:27Jamie could not confirm the Jeep Compass still parked at the
- 20:30hotel was their rental, but due to it being the only one there
- 20:34and all the other guests vehicles accounted for, this was
- 20:37most likely the vehicle Jamie believed Jonathan to be.
- 20:41Most likely still in the area and their flight leaves
- 20:45tomorrow. Again, this was written on
- 20:47December 25th of 2025 S The flight would have been scheduled
- 20:50for the 26th which would require them to travel back to Seattle
- 20:55and return the vehicle to Seatac where it was rented.
- 20:59I was also advised by Jamie that in August of this year she was
- 21:03on a work trip with Jonathan in Charlotte.
- 21:07Charlotte, NC. I'm guessing this was when she
- 21:10first found out about his infidelity and porn issues.
- 21:15This would be her describing it right?
- 21:17This isn't the deputy saying he has them.
- 21:20He's saying she said that. She stated she confronted him
- 21:23and he attacked her in the hotel they were staying at.
- 21:26Jamie stated it was similar to this.
- 21:28He assaulted her violently and then took their rental car and
- 21:32drove back to Florida where they live.
- 21:35Jamie stated there is a long history of Jonathan assaulting
- 21:38her in their almost three-year dating relationship.
- 21:43Yeah, a lot of us would ask the question, why would you last
- 21:47three years? Guys?
- 21:48That's the wrong question. OK?
- 21:51That's the wrong it's. It's so difficult a thing to
- 21:54escape DV. It's just so hard for so many
- 22:01reasons. For for physical safety reasons,
- 22:05for emotional reasons, for mental reasons.
- 22:07It's tough. She stated she knows she would
- 22:11have left many times before this but hasn't.
- 22:14Or she should have left many times before this but hasn't.
- 22:17Jamie stated Jonathan needs to be held accountable for what he
- 22:21did. After Jamie was discharged from
- 22:25Cascade Medical Center. I was provided a copy of the
- 22:28medical documents for this visit and I provided Jamie with a
- 22:31courtesy ride back to her hotel. Good job Deputy.
- 22:34Deputy Mccomas and I searched the room prior to Jamie going
- 22:38back into it. Good job deputies.
- 22:41Thank you for taking this seriously.
- 22:43The on site manager was contacted who changed the
- 22:46security code combinations for the front door and for the room
- 22:51Jamie is staying in. So that I would assumedly that
- 22:56Mister Riches would not be able to get back into her room so
- 22:59that into their room so that she could feel safe in the room.
- 23:04It should be noted that the white Jeep Compass bearing
- 23:08Washington registration CTA6791 that was observed earlier was
- 23:13confirmed to be another guest's rental vehicle and was not
- 23:17involved. OK, so he he may have taken
- 23:19their rental car. I have probable cause to arrest
- 23:24Jonathan L Riches. I'm sure that says date of
- 23:27birth. I didn't do that.
- 23:28Redaction for violating this law.
- 23:32Assault in the second degree, DV, harassment, threats to kill
- 23:39DV and interfering with the reporting of DV.
- 23:45On December 26th, I received a text message from Jamie on my
- 23:49department issued cell phone that she cancelled her original
- 23:53flight and booked a flight with a different airline and boarded
- 23:56without issue. The following day, December
- 23:5927th, I received a text message from Jamie on my department
- 24:03issued cell phone that she was finally able to track Jonathan's
- 24:06location. He was traveling through North
- 24:08Dakota. It is not known at this time if
- 24:11he was driving back to Florida or to a different location.
- 24:15And that and then that was given to the Chelan County
- 24:18Prosecutor's Office. No, Mr. Riches was not arrested,
- 24:23at least according to this document, because he was nowhere
- 24:26to be found in Washington. But I think it's very important
- 24:31that he wrote that he has probable cause to arrest Mr.
- 24:37Riches, that if, if he would have been there, he I think he
- 24:43would have been arrested. Now, in my description before we
- 24:47started the show, in the description of the YouTube video
- 24:49down below, I put that he fled the scene.
- 24:55I think that that was probably over editorializing.
- 25:00So I've changed it to he left the scene.
- 25:04I don't know that he fled. I know that he left.
- 25:06I don't know if he knew that there was going to be some law
- 25:11enforcement activity here. I mean, according to Jamie, this
- 25:16is not the first time that he's done it multiple times.
- 25:22Maybe he thought that he would normally get away with it.
- 25:24Or maybe he's just like, you know what, screw.
- 25:26Or I'm just going to let she can figure her own way home.
- 25:29I don't know. I try not to speculate, but that
- 25:32I mean, this one's not leaving us with much.
- 25:35The rest of the document, which is another few pages are yes or
- 25:40no questions. Did the victim indicate
- 25:43possession of other firearms? No.
- 25:45Right. That just a whole bunch.
- 25:48Was the DV arrest an assault or an order violation?
- 25:51It was an assault. Was criminal history checked for
- 25:54prior DV convictions? Yes.
- 25:57Was a copy of protection order attached to report?
- 25:59No. Was a medical information
- 26:01released signed by the victim? Yes.
- 26:06You know, the the offender slash suspect is Jonathan Lee Riches.
- 26:14He's not a resident of Chelan County.
- 26:18The victim was Jamie Phillips and so forth, right.
- 26:21So no drug violations there. But the criminal charges are
- 26:27assault in the second degree, DV, harassment, threats to kill
- 26:30DV, interfering with the reporting of DV.
- 26:34He was not booked on any of those.
- 26:36He was gone. Anything else?
- 26:42I guess not that. And then, yeah, this, this whole
- 26:47page was redacted. And that was redacted.
- 26:50Oh, Dang it. Not even showing it to you guys
- 26:52anyway. So redacted pages.
- 26:55Redacted pages. OK, so let's let's go over to
- 27:00let me see. OK.
- 27:03We're good now, Autumn. OK, good.
- 27:05I'm glad. Let me go over to your comments.
- 27:09Let's bring up Mr. Rich's and we will get rid of that.
- 27:14Let me see what comments you guys are making.
- 27:18I think I did see a super chat. Thank you very much for that
- 27:21super chat that says wow, this is horrible.
- 27:24JLR needs to be arrested. I think that that the charges
- 27:28will stick and as you'll see as we go through this there there
- 27:33are other states as well. Now, he is a person that
- 27:36apparently, at least to my opinion, from reading the
- 27:40documents and from seeing clips from his channel, he he travels
- 27:44places right as part of his investigations and I I almost
- 27:48did air quotes. No, he like, I don't have any
- 27:51problem with what he does on YouTube.
- 27:54I think that he's overbearing. I think that he harasses people
- 28:01or or at least borderline harasses people.
- 28:03And I don't think that he should be doing that, but he's
- 28:06investigating and he's bringing content to to YouTube.
- 28:09So air quotes are not appropriate there.
- 28:12But I do think they kind of lived on the road.
- 28:14They were, they're always going somewhere.
- 28:18And so I, I'm curious how many other places this might be
- 28:23happening. We know at least Washington
- 28:26state and Arkansas, we read in that document North Carolina.
- 28:32So I mean, I don't know could this be federal?
- 28:36I don't know. I don't know.
- 28:38Hey, thanks. Dee, I, I, I hemmed and hawed
- 28:42over whether or not I should cover it, but I but DV is just
- 28:49so we just have to we have to cover it.
- 28:52It is, it is an indicator that increases.
- 28:57It's an indicator, especially when there's strangulation
- 29:00involved. I mean, crying out loud that
- 29:04there will be greater violence later.
- 29:08And so we got a, we got to cover it.
- 29:12But we have to be fair and we have to acknowledge that these
- 29:16are allegations and we have to temper our speculation with
- 29:21humanity and with compassion, right as the the children of the
- 29:28surviving non allegedly murderous children of Robin
- 29:31Michelle Reiner have said, right, that I've taken that to
- 29:34heart, taken that to heart. Let's kiss and make up says yes,
- 29:38please don't blame the victim. It's an extremely difficult
- 29:40thing to do. Oh my goodness, yes, so hard.
- 29:44It is climbing Everest. Like I said, every single step
- 29:47that she took there was the equivalent of me climbing
- 29:51Everest. Man, it's it's tough.
- 29:55Jamie is his girlfriend. She was known as Magnolia on his
- 30:01channel. Apparently.
- 30:02It's what I'm getting out of the comments.
- 30:06Let's see. Polly says Gavin knows how to be
- 30:11careful how he presents us. Yeah, we we don't want to be
- 30:13putting out there that he's guilty of anything that hasn't
- 30:17been proven right. These are allegations.
- 30:20They're serious allegations and you know, I usually put in
- 30:25qualifiers like the police say this, but I also, you know, I, I
- 30:30believe the police on this. I believe that that these
- 30:34documents are accurate. Having said that, also, I I
- 30:38should also go on record saying not for any criminal activity,
- 30:42but I have been accused by people in my professional life
- 30:47prior to coming on YouTube of defrauding them out of money.
- 30:52And it was so not true. And yet their arguments, the
- 30:57stuff that they would post online and continue to post
- 31:00online is so patently false. But the allegations, well, then
- 31:07I would call them accusations because nobody filed a police
- 31:11report, nobody filed A lawsuit because because it didn't
- 31:14happen. But I, I know what it feels like
- 31:18to be accused of something serious and, and we just need to
- 31:24I, I just want to be on record is saying these are allegations,
- 31:28right? Very, very important.
- 31:30OK, let's see if there are other.
- 31:37Let's see, real happy says we clearly have a ton of work to do
- 31:40in this country on educating people about DV.
- 31:43This chat is a clear indicator. Hey, guys, we want to keep the
- 31:46chat classy, all right, We don't want a victim blame.
- 31:53We don't want to assume that that the suspect in this is also
- 32:00guilty without having had it been proven right.
- 32:04We got to we got to be reporters about this straight down the
- 32:07middle as best we can, and I just said that I believe the
- 32:10allegations. I do believe them, but we got to
- 32:14be we got to be classy. Let's keep it classy.
- 32:17All right, let's see if I think I'm all caught up on your on
- 32:26your comments to me. Now let's head back over here to
- 32:31Acrobat and let me bring up a couple of other things.
- 32:35These are out of Arkansas. OK, The date on this one is
- 32:39January 20th of this year. So a few weeks past what when
- 32:45the issue happened in Washington state.
- 32:48This is a petition for an order of protection.
- 32:51This is 1 where I have like, for example, I, I redacted Mr.
- 32:58Rich's home address. We don't or Mr. Rich's home
- 33:00address. We don't need to don't need to
- 33:02do that, right? We don't need to docks him or
- 33:07anything like that. But this is a handwritten and I
- 33:09believe this is the one that the New York Post was talking about.
- 33:13And there are a couple of extra pieces of information in here.
- 33:19All right, so the petitioner is at least 18 years old.
- 33:22They formerly resided together. They're formerly we're we're in
- 33:25a dating relationship. The Respondent has committed DV
- 33:32against the Petitioner by the acts described in the attached
- 33:37affidavit. The petitioner requests that the
- 33:39Court issue an ex parte order of protection with the following
- 33:44provisions excluding the Respondent from from a shared
- 33:48residence or from the residence of the petitioner or victim.
- 33:51Address of residence omit if address is to be excluded.
- 33:56OK, so it's excluded from yeah that and that's fine.
- 34:00We don't need to know the address there prohibiting the
- 34:03respondent directly or through an agent from contacting the
- 34:06petitioner or victim except under the following conditions,
- 34:09only to respond to legal documents such as separation and
- 34:14restitution agreement via counsel.
- 34:17OK, All right, so let's get into the affidavit.
- 34:24OK. And I'm just going to get to
- 34:26her. This is the affidavit
- 34:27accompanying petition for domestic order of protection by
- 34:30Jamie Phillips. I'm going to skip the legalese
- 34:34and get into her handwritten narrative.
- 34:38OK. Beginning January 2023 and
- 34:42continuing through December 25th, 2025, I was involved in an
- 34:47intimate domestic relationship with the respondent Jonathan Lee
- 34:50Riches. During the course of this
- 34:52relationship, the respondent engaged in a persistent,
- 34:57persistent and escalating patter of I'm, I'm going to say DV
- 35:03because of Youtubes. OK, you can read it.
- 35:06Coercive control, intimidation, financial exploitation, and
- 35:12physical violence toward me. Again, all of these things are
- 35:16on Micah's list. If you guys don't remember
- 35:19Micah's list, look up the death of Micah Francis Miller.
- 35:24We like to call her Micah Francis because we don't want to
- 35:26attach Miller to her name. And she was going by Micah
- 35:29Francis at the time, though legally she was Micah Miller.
- 35:35It's on my channel, it's on JL Rs channel, ironically.
- 35:39But the each one of these things, the DV, the coercive
- 35:43control, the intimidation, the financial exploitation and
- 35:47control, physical violence, all of that is on Micah's list.
- 35:52OK, on December 25th of 2025, the very incident that we were
- 35:56reading from Washington State, the, the respondent violently
- 36:00assaulted me, causing extreme injuries, including broken nose
- 36:04and septum, significant trauma to my head and ribs, requiring
- 36:09emergency care, CT scans, X-rays, and will require
- 36:14reconstructive surgery to repair broken and crushed bones in my
- 36:19nose. Wow.
- 36:23This assault is currently pending felony assault charges,
- 36:29threats to kill with the chief criminal deputy prosecutor in
- 36:34Chelan County, Washington State case #25-C12789, police report
- 36:41attached. And that's the, that's what we
- 36:43just read, right? She continues.
- 36:46Throughout the relationship, the respondent physically assaulted
- 36:50me on numerous occasions and including strangulation
- 36:53approximately two dozen times, I have to say two dozen times,
- 37:01man, Jamie is fortunate that she, I'm not.
- 37:07Let's take a take two on that, shall we, Javi?
- 37:09I'm not. I'm not minimizing the abuse.
- 37:14What I'm saying is that I'm glad that it didn't escalate and
- 37:21cause her death. Guys, it does not take much.
- 37:25It does not take much to cause somebody's death by
- 37:29strangulation. We've had Brian Bennett on here,
- 37:32a strangulation expert. We've had him on here multiple
- 37:37times. I should have him on again to
- 37:38talk about this. I think I will.
- 37:41I'm going to have him on. I'm, I'm going to invite him on
- 37:43anyway to talk about this because two dozen times, man.
- 37:47And guys, it takes something like 7 lbs of pressure, 7 lbs of
- 37:54pressure to cause unconsciousness and ultimately
- 37:58death. Like I can like I can squeeze,
- 38:02like a firm handshake is like 3035 lbs of pressure.
- 38:06OK. So I'm so glad that Jamie did
- 38:11not did, didn't. I'm glad that Jamie is with us.
- 38:18That's what I'm saying. I'm I'm just glad that Jamie is
- 38:20still with us. Assuming, of course, that these
- 38:24allegations are true. In August 2025, she continues,
- 38:29Respondent committed a brutal assault against me involving
- 38:33beating me repeatedly with his closed fist.
- 38:38Everybody, can we just agree that we're going to use our
- 38:40words? Let's let's use our words, shall
- 38:43we? Respondent threatened to kill me
- 38:47if I reported his assaults or if I called 911 since the December
- 38:5325th, 2025 felony assault. And that's her characterization.
- 38:59I in the in the police report. Let's go up to it.
- 39:09I should look that up. I mean those look like felonious
- 39:16charges for sure, but it doesn't say specifically she is saying
- 39:20that they are felony. OK, so since the December 25th,
- 39:252025, felony assault, respondent has continued to abuse me using
- 39:32fear, threats, intimidation, ongoing financial abuse, theft
- 39:38of all our joint funds in an act of retaliation.
- 39:42Again, got to go to Micah's list.
- 39:45Got give me a moment here. Give me just a moment.
- 39:50Let me let me see if I can find Micah's list.
- 40:02Yeah, I can. OK, let's just Scroll down Mike
- 40:08is list. OK, I'm just going to read these
- 40:10real quick. Isolating her from family and
- 40:14friends. Depriving her of basic needs.
- 40:16Stalking. Tracking her whereabouts,
- 40:18monitoring her communications, taking control over aspects of
- 40:22her life. Depriving her of support
- 40:25services. Expressing her worthlessness.
- 40:28Humiliated, degraded, and dehumanized her.
- 40:31Prevented disclosure to authorities.
- 40:34Financial abuse. Threats to hurt her, her family,
- 40:37or himself. Threats to a child.
- 40:41Threats to reveal or publish private information.
- 40:44Assault. The dreaded R word, which
- 40:48YouTube won't let me say, but but it is I think the world's
- 40:52worst crime. That's just my opinion.
- 40:55I think it's worse than murder. Preventing her from having
- 40:58transportation, interfering with her work, you know, so all of
- 41:05these things, emotional abuse, ignoring requests or commands to
- 41:09leave, cruelty to her dog description, all these things
- 41:12that JP Miller was alleged to have done.
- 41:14Micah's list, if we go back to this one, they, they all fit
- 41:20right. Threats, intimidation, financial
- 41:25abuse, theft of the joint funds, OK.
- 41:30She says respondent fled the crime scene, fled the
- 41:33jurisdiction and remains a flight risk.
- 41:36He has continued to contact me and I'm in fear of immediate
- 41:40harm and death. And that is the end of her
- 41:47narrative. Her affidavit lists herself as a
- 41:5449 year old female former domestic intimate partner to
- 41:58Jonathan Lee Rich's also age 49, male white.
- 42:07And let's see. So just there are a couple of
- 42:12other documents that I want to just kind of you know, the he
- 42:19was served with the ex parte order of protection.
- 42:21It was so ordered. Here is the actual order, right.
- 42:26I did. I did redact this sort of stuff.
- 42:29Doesn't need to doesn't need to be there.
- 42:31I forgot a forgotten address. Sorry about that.
- 42:35But yes. And if we get down to the
- 42:37bottom, I think of this one. Oh yeah.
- 42:42Look, this is what might happen if if Mr. Rich's violates the
- 42:47order. A violation of the order of
- 42:49protection is a Class A misdemeanor carrying a maximum
- 42:52penalty of one year's imprisonment in the county jail
- 42:55or or a fine up to of up to $2500 or both.
- 43:01It is unlawful for an intimate partner who's the subject of an
- 43:04Order of protection or an individual convicted of a
- 43:06misdemeanor of DV to ship, transport, or possess A firearm
- 43:11or ammunition under the US Code. 0 Wow.
- 43:18Well, he's all, he's already a convicted felon, so he probably
- 43:21doesn't have that right anyway. A conviction of violation of an
- 43:25order that that does. By the way, I didn't mean to
- 43:27just like brush that one under the rug because there are a lot
- 43:33of people that they have that right taken away and yet they
- 43:38they do carry. Let's see number 3A conviction
- 43:41of violation of an order of protection under this section
- 43:44within five years of a previous conviction for violation of an
- 43:47order of protection is a class D felony.
- 43:50I wonder if he has any orders of protection.
- 43:54Person who is a respondent or enjoined party is restrained
- 43:57from harassing, stalking, or threatening a person named in an
- 44:01order of protection as a family or household member.
- 44:03A child of the family or household member so he's
- 44:08enjoined from let's say a person who is a respondent or an
- 44:12enjoined party is restrained from engaging in any other
- 44:15conduct that would place a person named in the order of
- 44:17protection as a family or household member, child of the
- 44:21family, household member, child, blah, blah, blah.
- 44:23In reasonable fear of bodily injury.
- 44:25And a person who is a respondent is prohibited from using,
- 44:29attempted to, attempting to use, or threatening the use of
- 44:32physical force against the person named in the order of
- 44:35protection as a family or household member, a child of the
- 44:39family, blah blah blah, which would reasonably be expected to
- 44:43cause bodily injury. 7 Crossing state, territorial or tribal
- 44:48boundaries to violate this order may result in federal
- 44:51imprisonment. Ah, that Well, that's the answer
- 44:55to my question. According to US Code 226218 US
- 45:01Code, this order of protection is enforceable in every county
- 45:06of the state by any court or law enforcement officer.
- 45:11Let's see if there's anything else the proof.
- 45:13Let's see, I think there is a is there a proof of service?
- 45:18Anyway, there's the order. So ordered.
- 45:20Right, so ordered. Let me check in before we we've
- 45:25got a couple of other couple other documents to go through,
- 45:30but I want to check in. It looks like we got a super
- 45:33chat. Thank you very much.
- 45:35Thank you so much. Who is that Beth?
- 45:37Thank you so much for that super chat.
- 45:39I deeply, deeply appreciate that.
- 45:42I just want to make sure that I don't miss anything else here.
- 45:48Let's see, just Ducky Gavin, I met JLRA few times while he
- 45:53covered Cavalcante running loose in my backyard.
- 45:56He seemed nice enough. Guess you never know what goes
- 45:58on behind closed doors. That's true, and some people
- 46:02need anger management, man. Yeah, let me just scroll on
- 46:13through guys. If you put GF in your comments,
- 46:17I will be able to. It highlights it on the back end
- 46:21for me. Okey Dokey, let me give me a
- 46:23second. Let me just look at the other
- 46:25documents that I have here. That's Micah's list, OK Oh OK.
- 46:33In the same court there was an order for a continuance for good
- 46:40cause. Court finds and orders of
- 46:41following the hearing on the petitioners Petition for order
- 46:45protection shall be continued until the 21st day of April,
- 46:492026 at 9:30 AM shall be held at the Garland County District
- 46:52Courtroom. 2. Any ex parte order petition
- 46:56previously entered in this matter shall remain in full
- 46:59force and effect without modification pending for the
- 47:02orders of the court. So we know at least from this
- 47:06that that ex parte order protection that she filed and
- 47:11was ordered will stay in effect at least through the 21st of
- 47:15April. Yeah.
- 47:18And there is service to probably to both of them, right?
- 47:27And yeah, so those are the documents that I have to share
- 47:31with you guys. I know that we've got a big
- 47:33crowd tonight, which means that many of you have probably not
- 47:36been on my channel before. Thank you.
- 47:38And welcome once again, these documents that I've shown you
- 47:43are up on my patron account for or my Patreon account for my
- 47:49patrons. Thank you.
- 47:51Thank you to all of you who support me through Patreon,
- 47:54through YouTube memberships, through the Super chats tonight.
- 47:57I deeply appreciate all of that. It does look like in the I don't
- 48:05want to let's see this one from Sue Roundtree.
- 48:12Do you know when he goes to court?
- 48:13I think the next, well at least in Arkansas, it's April 21st.
- 48:20But as far as Washington state, I don't know yet if anybody, if
- 48:25anybody is really good at doing Sunshine Law requests, right to
- 48:31no requests, FOIA's foils, whatever the state law is and or
- 48:37if you just want to know how to do that.
- 48:39And I don't mind taking the time to train, but boy, do I need a
- 48:42volunteer to help me with this stuff.
- 48:44It would be great. Emmy says thanks for covering
- 48:48this, but be careful. Thank you.
- 48:50Yeah, I'm doing my guess my best here.
- 48:55Heidi Moon. Just curious.
- 48:56I thought Magnolia was around his age.
- 48:58How old is she? They're both 49 years old,
- 49:00according to court records. All the other stuff, I don't
- 49:04want to. I don't want to bring up any
- 49:07comments. Like the whole leopards don't
- 49:09change their spot stuff, stuff like that.
- 49:12You know, it's like it it's not proven.
- 49:14It's alleged, but but we do want Jamie to be safe.
- 49:20We want Mr. Riches to have his day in court.
- 49:25And yeah, now that's what I have so far.
- 49:31But stick with me because we have, we have some headlines to
- 49:35go over in true crime. That includes the Nancy Guthrie
- 49:39investigation and includes Joseph Duggar.
- 49:42It includes Shanda Vander Ark, but before we get into that,
- 49:48let's get into three questions, shall we?
- 49:58Okie, Dokie in this segment, it's usually a short segment,
- 50:01but I love this segment. I answer 3 questions that you
- 50:04have sent in to me to my e-mail address,
- 50:06threequestions@gavinfish.com. It is spelled out three
- 50:09questions at gavinfish.com. Anything's on the table.
- 50:12Nothing is off the table. You can ask me anything you want
- 50:15and you can ask me as many times as you want.
- 50:18I will answer them all truthfully and honestly.
- 50:20And I love the questions where they can be flipped onto you
- 50:25guys. And you can tell us in the chat
- 50:27what your answers are to these questions.
- 50:30And there are a couple of those in here today before we get to
- 50:34headlines. All right, question number one
- 50:37from Diane. What do you need people to
- 50:39understand about you that they don't know nothing?
- 50:44I don't need anybody to understand anything about me.
- 50:50If I that feels like a dodge, but I just know I I don't care.
- 50:57Some people love me, some people hate me.
- 50:58Most people don't have feelings one way or the other.
- 51:03I, I think if I like if I were laying in a coffin right now, my
- 51:08body were being laid to rest and there was a funeral and I'm, I'm
- 51:12in spirit form watching the memory, you know, the memorial
- 51:19of me. I would hope that people would
- 51:22say Gavin was a good guy. He tried his best.
- 51:26He loved his wife and their children.
- 51:28He was loved by his wife and their children.
- 51:32Hopefully someday grandchildren. And that's really all I care
- 51:37about. But do I need anybody to
- 51:40understand anything about me? No, I'm just a regular guy
- 51:44trying to do my best, make mistakes, try to learn from
- 51:47them. Thanks for the question.
- 51:49I am question #2 have you heard of Geo framing?
- 51:53It seems like an effective tool for law enforcement.
- 51:56Have any cases that you've investigated use this?
- 51:59Wouldn't this be useful in the Guthrie case?
- 52:01Yeah, it's typically called Geo fencing.
- 52:03I became familiar with Geo fencing through advertising and
- 52:07marketing way back in the day. It is a tool that is used by law
- 52:13enforcement and it was used to great effect in a case that I
- 52:18covered here in western Pennsylvania was the murder of
- 52:21Rebecca Byler, a 26 year old pregnant Amish woman who was
- 52:25slashed to death by a guy named Sean Cranston, who was convicted
- 52:31of the crime. He thought that he was an Amish
- 52:37country and nobody would know where he was.
- 52:39But no, he was. He was caught through
- 52:42geofencing. And yes, I do believe that the
- 52:45Guthrie case that that it would be useful for law enforcement to
- 52:49use that tool in the Guthrie case.
- 52:51And then Colleen asked, do you have a favorite type of case to
- 52:54cover either for newspaper or your YouTube channel?
- 52:57Yeah, I do. I love covering good news.
- 53:01I love covering good news. Unfortunately, here on YouTube,
- 53:05it's just a lot of bad news. I love covering good news.
- 53:09And I'll tell you a couple of the stories that I've covered in
- 53:11my area. Earlier this week, I went out to
- 53:16an event for middle school age kids who were going to compete
- 53:22in a, like, I hate on a hydraulics competition where
- 53:28they build hydraulically powered machines to pick up a dowel and
- 53:34put it on a game board, right? So they had to be able to do
- 53:37rotational force. They had to be able to do
- 53:39clamping force. They had to be able to do
- 53:41lifting force. And it was so cool.
- 53:44These kids, what are, what are middle, middle school age kids,
- 53:471213 years old, learning about these, these very complex
- 53:52engineering challenges through very simple machines that they
- 53:57got to design and build. I love that stuff.
- 54:01I have covered. What are other things that I've
- 54:05covered? I love little community events.
- 54:08I love, I love it when somebody from a small place has done done
- 54:13something big, even if it's only for a couple of people.
- 54:17I love that stuff. Yeah, the stuff that I don't
- 54:23like to cover, but I feel it. Sometimes you just have to do
- 54:28what's necessary. Somebody has to do it right.
- 54:30I honestly don't really like sitting in courtrooms all day
- 54:34long with a pad and pen, jotting down every little thing.
- 54:39Because here in Pennsylvania, you can't record anything.
- 54:41So it's all record, you know, recording by handwriting.
- 54:46You can't even bring in a laptop, for crying out loud.
- 54:49So I don't like that my butt hurts at the end of the day.
- 54:54And then I've spent an entire day in court in old seats and
- 54:58usually a room that's too cold or too hot listening to the
- 55:02world's worst crimes. And then I have, you know, two
- 55:06or three hours that I need to write it up.
- 55:09I don't like that. I do it because it needs to be
- 55:12done. It's important to journal.
- 55:13But those are your three questions, guys now.
- 55:19And thank you for those questions.
- 55:20Remember that you can send questions into me at 3 questions
- 55:24at gavinfish.com spelled out, and I'm looking forward to
- 55:28seeing what you guys, what your act or your answers to these
- 55:32questions are. But before we do, while you're
- 55:34getting your thumbs all warmed up to type those in with your
- 55:37little devices, let's check out some other headlines here in
- 55:39true crime. True crime headlines.
- 55:49Okie, dokie. So number one, let me let me
- 55:54zoom up on it real quick so you guys will be able to see it
- 55:56better. This written by Brian Anton.
- 56:01This came out yesterday. I did not see it until today.
- 56:07Investigators looking at security door.
- 56:10OK Brian, you got a typo there buddy.
- 56:16It happens to the best of us. It's not investigours.
- 56:19That actually sounds rather Portuguese to me in Bistigal,
- 56:24but investigators looking at security door By Brian and News
- 56:29Nation Dateline Tucson Tucson investigators in the Nancy
- 56:34Guthrie case say they're looking closely at the security gate on
- 56:37her front door, believing it may provide clues into whether more
- 56:40than one person was involved in her disappearance.
- 56:43Course goodness, they're looking at it now.
- 56:48Hopefully they were looking. I just, I just really hope
- 56:51they've already taken DNA and fingerprints and other forensic
- 56:56stuff there because everybody and their dog, including the
- 56:59Amazon delivery guy has been on that doorstep.
- 57:02But anyway, the security gate in in front of the door would be
- 57:07nearly impossible to breakthrough from the outside,
- 57:09leading some law enforcement experts to believe a second
- 57:13suspect was already in the house when Guthrie with Guthrie when
- 57:17the masked individual was seen in the now infamous surveillance
- 57:21video. The new theory comes as the FBI
- 57:25returns to the neighborhood with new questions for the residents
- 57:28there. Brian Hinton reports residents
- 57:31told him FBI agents were back in the area and asked them about
- 57:35some former neighbors who moved out shortly before Guthrie's
- 57:39disappearance. They also asked about some homes
- 57:41under construction in the neighborhood, Anton reported.
- 57:46A resident in the area said a friend of hers who has a house
- 57:49under construction was asked by agents to give them the names of
- 57:52the contractors and construction workers who have been working on
- 57:56her home. Wow, Former FBI agent Steve
- 58:01Moore said this shows that agents are retracing their steps
- 58:04in the neighborhood and that it is not a sign that they are
- 58:07going backwards in the investigation, but they are
- 58:09moving ahead. Moore said that investigators
- 58:12asking for the names of construction workers at the
- 58:14house stands out. Great reporting.
- 58:18Brian Enten, also in News Nation, let's zoom this on up.
- 58:24We're going to keep an eye on this one because we brought this
- 58:28up in headlines yesterday about Joseph duggar.
- 58:30Written by teddy grant and his nation.
- 58:32Jill Duggar Dillard slams brother Joseph duggar over C Sam
- 58:37charges. Well it's not C Sam we'll call
- 58:39it CA charges OK to be YouTube friendly.
- 58:44Jill Duggar Dillard's family has responded to the news following
- 58:47her brother's arrest on charges related to alleged CA.
- 58:51The Dillard family wrote in their family blog Thursday about
- 58:54Joseph Duggar's arrest. Quote we were shocked yesterday
- 58:57evening to learn of jill's brother Joseph Duggar's arrest.
- 59:01Duggar, 31, was arrested Wednesday after he was accused
- 59:04of CA ING a nine year old girl during a family vacation in
- 59:09Panama Beach city, Florida, or Panama City Beach, FL in 2020.
- 59:15The 19 Kids and Counting star was charged with lewd and
- 59:18lascivious conduct with a minor. And I'm not going to use this
- 59:21word because of YouTube heavy. I don't.
- 59:29I don't. Yeah.
- 59:30For those of you listening on the podcast, you're just going
- 59:32to have to guess but. And the blank of a victim less
- 59:35than 12 years old. According to News Nation's
- 59:38Panama City affiliate WMBB quote.
- 59:42We first learned of anything related to his charges yesterday
- 59:45via text from a friend who messaged us about the recent
- 59:48media reports of Joseph's arrest and his alleged confession to.
- 59:53And there's that M word again. A juvenile female in 2020.
- 59:58We are shocked and heartbroken, the Dillard family wrote.
- 1:00:01They added, quote, we strongly condemn abuse.
- 1:00:04We support the rule of law and hope the justice will be
- 1:00:06achieved. Our hearts go out to the
- 1:00:08innocent juvenile victim of this unspeakable crime and her
- 1:00:12family. Then it goes into Josh Duggar's.
- 1:00:16Criminal past as well. So that's where we are on that
- 1:00:19case. And then lastly, do you guys
- 1:00:21remember Shonda Vander Ark? Oh, this case was just crimes
- 1:00:28against children, guys. Crimes against children,
- 1:00:31especially those with special needs, just absolutely kills me.
- 1:00:36Kills me. Written by Lauren silver.
- 1:00:41Great Artur, great author over there at courttv.com.
- 1:00:45I didn't fake anything. Shonda Vander or Shanda Vander
- 1:00:48Ark fights for new trial Miss Dateline Muskegon, MI convicted
- 1:00:53killer Shanda Vander Ark returned to the witness stand on
- 1:00:57Friday where she continued to blame her dead son for his own
- 1:01:00death as she pushes for a new trial.
- 1:01:03Vander Ark was convicted of murder in the death of her son,
- 1:01:0615 year old Timothy Ferguson, who had special needs.
- 1:01:10Ferguson weighed only 69 lbs when he died.
- 1:01:13His death certificate listed dehydration among his causes of
- 1:01:18death. Evidence shown during her trial
- 1:01:23showed that the child was handcuffed, forced to sleep in a
- 1:01:26closet, left in ice baths for hours at a time, and was
- 1:01:30starved. We're going to need some
- 1:01:35transition music after this one guys.
- 1:01:37I, I'm, I'm boiling mad, just being reminded of this case.
- 1:01:45Following her conviction, Vander Ark appealed, claiming
- 1:01:48ineffective assistance of counsel.
- 1:01:50Classic. At a hearing in November on the
- 1:01:53motion, Vander Ark was unable to testify after claiming she felt
- 1:01:56quote, like garbage, close quote and requested an adjournment.
- 1:02:00Four months later, the hearing continued in Judge Matthew
- 1:02:03Casel, Casel's Muskegon County courtroom.
- 1:02:08From the witness stand on Friday, Van der Ark continued to
- 1:02:10blame the victim's own behavior for his eventual death, saying
- 1:02:13that he chose to isolate himself and, quote, he did not care to
- 1:02:17tell the truth hardly at all. close quote, She conceded that
- 1:02:20in May 2022, Ferguson had been 104 power pounds, but could not
- 1:02:26say why he lost so much weight before his death two months
- 1:02:28later. And then it just blah, blah,
- 1:02:31blah blah blah blah blah. I'm not blah blah Lauren Silver,
- 1:02:34I'm blah blah Vander Ark. Judge Casel said he would take
- 1:02:39the matter under advisement and written and issue a written
- 1:02:43ruling on the motion. Those guys are your headlines.
- 1:02:58Hey Wanda, I need just a little transition music here.
- 1:03:01Just we need to cleanse the palette.
- 1:03:03I need something that is the equivalent of like a saltine
- 1:03:06cracker to cleanse the palate. Do you have anything maybe,
- 1:03:11maybe something islandy that you could play?
- 1:03:13Is it Wanda? What do you think?
- 1:03:17I didn't even see the steel drums in there.
- 1:03:18Wanda, let Gavin let Gavin just renew.
- 1:03:24I need to emotionally renew after that last one.
- 1:03:30That was tough. Wanda, you keep it going.
- 1:03:34We're going to check in on people's comments.
- 1:03:39Lynn Taylor says this reminds me of the Kimberly Sullivan case
- 1:03:45currently. Yeah, That.
- 1:03:46That's good one to thank you. OK, we're able to move on.
- 1:03:49Yeah. The Kimberly Sullivan case.
- 1:03:50My goodness, that kid, that well grown man, but that kid in the
- 1:03:58Sullivan case that had been kept prisoner all those years again,
- 1:04:02hero. He lit a fire.
- 1:04:06He literally lit his house on fire because he believed that
- 1:04:10firefighters would come and rescue him.
- 1:04:12And it's it's simultaneously heartbreaking and inspiring,
- 1:04:18Hope says. She kept talking about how she
- 1:04:20was miserable, isolated and not able to eat.
- 1:04:23She had no self-awareness. She was the worst.
- 1:04:29Let's see, as of this morning, JLR was stream live streaming
- 1:04:34from the Nancy Guthrie house or nearby.
- 1:04:37I did see that he was live streaming earlier today.
- 1:04:39Yes, indeed. And then Polly says just the
- 1:04:42messenger here. Please don't aim fire at him.
- 1:04:48Yeah, I, I, I try not to aim fire at anyone cabling, says
- 1:04:53Gavin. That hair is 70s Beach Boys.
- 1:04:55Oh my, it is. It's a little much, is it not?
- 1:04:58I went out for a walk in the rain under an umbrella and got
- 1:05:04back right before it's time to go live.
- 1:05:07It is. I think the humidity in the air
- 1:05:09made it go, but I am not a person who is accustomed to long
- 1:05:14hairs. I I'm just going with it, man.
- 1:05:16I'm just going with it. And chaos Mama says the JLR was
- 1:05:22streaming when this live stream started.
- 1:05:24Yeah, the dude. The dude streams like the wind,
- 1:05:28man. The guy is always on.
- 1:05:29I have to say I'm impressed. I think I would probably be as
- 1:05:33successful as him too if I did it as much as he did.
- 1:05:36He is amazing at live streaming now.
- 1:05:44Focus, focus. There we go.
- 1:05:46Come on, focus. My camera is doing what is the
- 1:05:50what is the deal with my technology today?
- 1:05:53There we are. OK, but if her allegations are
- 1:05:59true, then yeah, I probably should not be laying praise on
- 1:06:09the guy. We're going to wait, though.
- 1:06:10We're going to wait. We're going to withhold our
- 1:06:13judgement and just report on the story as it continues to come
- 1:06:18out. Guys, thank you so much for
