1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,040
Speaker 1: The Friend Show is on.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 2: It feels good.

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: I could do these happy stories. We share him with

4
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: you every day on the program to give you faith

00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: in the universe, Kaylin Go Ahead.

6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: Journalist Karen Swinson couldn't believe it when she saw a

7
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: veteran named Dylan McCormick working under the hot sun in

8
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: ninety degree temperatures at a wind Dixie located in New Orleans.

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: She struck up a conversation with him, where he explained

10
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 2: that he needs the labor intensive job to survive the

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: US Air Force vet even walks more than a mile

12
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: to work because he can't drive. So Swinson, who used

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: to work at WWLTV and NOLA, started a fundraising push

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: that instantly took off. So far, as of yesterday, two

15
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty two four hundred and ten dollars has

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: been raised through GoFundMe after it was started earlier this week,

17
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: with thousands of contributors chipping in. She said she's blown

18
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: away by stranger's generosity, and when she broke the news

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: of the high fundraising mark to McCormick, who was also

20
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: in shock, she told him, Hey, the funds are going

21
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: to be transferred in a couple days and if he

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: wants to remain working, he can, but it will be

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: his choice now that he's getting money to live in

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: comfort go WHOA yeah, yes, so.

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: You guys, I'm a huge true crime guy. But a

26
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: class of high schoolers managed to solve the thirty five

27
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: year old case of the Redhead murders in Tennessee and

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: surrounding states. So it started at Elizabethton High School in Tennessee,

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: where a teacher named Alex Campbell was looking to engage

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: and inspire his students through an unorthodox sociology assignment. So

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: he wanted to teach him about profiling, how you can

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: build a picture about someone based only on known actions

33
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: taken by them, but with no other details. So it

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: turned into a true crime investigation, mostly based on his

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: wife's fascination with this case. So pulling out old case

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: files and looking at the different victims between nineteen eighty

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: three and nineteen eighty five, the students started to use

38
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: details of the case, like character of the victims, the

39
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: places they were found, their age, occupations, all these different things.

40
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: Turns out they were able to identify the killer of

41
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: this cold case tips from people DNA. So these high

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: school students found the murderer all because his teacher wanted

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: to teach them something.

44
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: Gen Z can do.

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: Finally they can creep. But no, there you go, we

46
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: get there, you go putting into good use. But that's

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: very that's very interesting.

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 2: That is amazing.

49
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: You can do all of that. And I'm sure this

50
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: guy is like, damn it, and his mugshot right here,

51
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, it's thought I got away

52
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: with them nineteen eighty four, like you, that guy was

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: resting easy, those meddling kids. Yeah, it's like, damn it.

54
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,960
