1 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: Joe Scott, Morgan, Joseph Jackaloe, Lisa Ravikov, just with the 2 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,479 Speaker 1: four of us here tonight. I think it's important to 3 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: talk about why we decided to do this now. Our 4 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: friend Laura Ingle, who's an investigative reporter with News Nation, 5 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: has been doing a phenomenal job boots on the ground 6 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: out in Oklahoma, and she has been covering the murder 7 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: of the two moms, Veronica and Jillian. And again, I mean, 8 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: her coverage is just she's a pro, that's all there 9 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: is to it, and she will, you know, stay there 10 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,319 Speaker 1: until the story is done. And she's a wife, she's 11 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: a mother, she's a friend to all of us on 12 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: this show. 13 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 2: And when she left. 14 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: Oklahoma, she flew home and then stopped by the Hamptons 15 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: to see all of us and support us, go to 16 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: Joe Scott's session, you know, hang out with Lisa and 17 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: I for a while, make sure she had some individual 18 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: time with Sarge, and they took some cute pictures. And 19 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: she's just that person, you know, went way out of 20 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: her way to make sure she was supporting all of 21 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: us in a time when she was probably exhausted and 22 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: would have probably. 23 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 2: Loved to just be at home. 24 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: She left the Hamptons and went on assignment to cover Trump. 25 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 3: Well. 26 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: Last week, she was just feet away. 27 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: From a young man that set himself on fire. That 28 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: had to be traumatic, unsettling, scary, just horrifying. But in 29 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: that moment she decided keep the camera on me or 30 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: the fence, do not film him. She did that for 31 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: his mama, his family, his loved ones, his friends, his coworkers. 32 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: She decided, we are not going to exploit this man's 33 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: attempted suicide, and later it was successful that he had 34 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: killed himself. She did that, so again we thought it 35 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: was going to be important to reach out to her, 36 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: which we all have make sure she's doing good. But 37 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: we know that there's folks in the media, polygraphers, nine 38 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: one one, ambulance, fire, police, et cetera, prosecutors. They need 39 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: to know they're not alone. And you know, Joe, you 40 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: and I talked that in our day, me and you 41 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: and Joe Scott Morgan, we would have gone out to 42 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: dinner together. We would have hung out on the weekends 43 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: and barbecued and continue to talk through some stuff to 44 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: you know, just have these special times with each other 45 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: and with each other's fans, families, and to me that 46 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: was therapy. You know, you have these people again that 47 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: you love and you trust and you work with, and 48 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: it just kind of rolled over for me after hours 49 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: became so important And I see the young people today, 50 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: they don't do that. 51 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 4: No, they don't. That is certainly an issue. You know, 52 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 4: we're all kind of cocooned. Now. I don't want to 53 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 4: go too far down this trail. But it was different. 54 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 4: But you know, in a way, it wasn't different because 55 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 4: like because I remember when they collected my badge, they 56 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: came to my home, took my badge, they took my 57 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 4: issued weapon, and it was gone and in a moment 58 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 4: the only occupation I'd ever known. And the thing about 59 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 4: it is is that if you talk to the person 60 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 4: that is adjacent to you, even if you perceived them 61 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 4: as to be your friend, I think that there's an 62 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 4: indwelling fear in everybody that occupies the atmosphere that we're 63 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 4: in because they're dealing with the same stuff that you're 64 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 4: dealing with. But the difference is in my case is 65 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 4: that it externally manifested itself, and so all of those 66 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 4: other people that were around me had the same things 67 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 4: going on in their mind, probably, but they're in a 68 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 4: mode of self protection because they don't, you know, they 69 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 4: don't want to be rolling around the dirty medical examiner's floor, 70 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 4: you know, crying out to God, you know, to spare them, 71 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 4: you know, because they think they're having a heart attack. 72 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 4: They don't want to be in that and they don't 73 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 4: want to be seen that way at all. You know, 74 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 4: they might help you with the case, but it's really 75 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 4: hard to you know, to bear your soul to somebody 76 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 4: like that. And you know, and I remember many years ago, 77 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 4: I was working on a project and for people in 78 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 4: my field to create, you know, this national certification for 79 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 4: death investigators. And one of the things to topics that 80 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 4: came up that was regarded as taboo was when we 81 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: were kind of laying out the guidelines, one of the 82 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 4: things is you have to stay away from They either 83 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 4: referred to it alternatively as more humor or dark humor. 84 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 4: And let me tell you something, more humor was one 85 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 4: of the few ways I survived. And I remember, collectively 86 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 4: all of us and we were from all over the country. 87 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 4: We have people from the Manhattan Medical Examiners, I have 88 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 4: people from La County in Chicago, I mean, there were 89 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 4: all of us that were sitting around table, we all 90 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 4: like collectively looked at one another when this facilitator for 91 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 4: this straining, who by the way, had never worked in 92 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 4: the field, we collectively rolled our eyes and kind of laughed. 93 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 4: But they wanted to deprive you of that, your ability 94 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 4: to laugh at these things because you and don't get 95 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 4: me wrong, I'm not talking about disrespecting families or you know, 96 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 4: however you want to interpret that. We're talking about talking 97 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 4: about things in between ourselves because there is a there 98 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 4: is an indwelling pressure that you have, you know, this 99 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 4: valve that has to be released periodically, and I know 100 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 4: that it's gone on, It's gone on for it's probably 101 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 4: gone on since the dawn of man. Because there's certain 102 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 4: things humans are not equipped to see, you know, you 103 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 4: think about just think about Civil War battlefields. You know 104 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 4: where they had people that would go out and dig 105 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 4: graves and there were stacks upon stacks upon stacks that 106 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 4: deceased everywhere. You think that they didn't laugh their way 107 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 4: through that. I mean, where are you going to do? 108 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 4: You're going to turn the bottle, And I'm sure that 109 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 4: many of them did, because I know a lot of 110 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 4: my colleagues did over the years. That's their fallback position 111 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 4: many times, and I'm not judging them for that, God 112 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 4: bless them. I mean, you have to fortify yourself in 113 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 4: some way. You have to find a healthy way to 114 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 4: fortify yourself. But many that's an easy thing, you know, 115 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 4: to kind of default to that because you can numb 116 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 4: yourself for a moment until it's time to go back 117 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 4: to work, and you know you're you're just gonna see 118 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 4: the same thing every day. I mean, it's it's not 119 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 4: going to be the same thing, but it will be 120 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 4: a shadow of those things that you've seen before, and 121 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 4: it's just it's on a loop. People. I can't even 122 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 4: begin to imagine what Joe bore witness to the volume 123 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 4: that he bore witness to, because my my career doesn't 124 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 4: approach that. I was just in New Orleans and Atlanta. 125 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 4: You're talking about a man like Joe that just you know, 126 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: he's literally a wash in bodies. How you process that 127 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 4: is absolutely amazing. Our friend, you know, Barbara Butcher, that 128 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 4: was with us, fantastic book, by the way, amazing. She's 129 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 4: dealt with the same damn thing. I mean, she has, 130 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 4: uh she she understands it. You know, she truly does, 131 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: and you know it's one of those things that not 132 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 4: too many people can identify with and kind of understand 133 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 4: the guts of it. 134 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 135 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: When you talk about that work life balance and you 136 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: talk about, you know, the cases that haunt us and 137 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: stay with us, there are also those other cases, and 138 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: I want everybody to kind of talk about one of 139 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: those too. 140 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: I consider these cases those. 141 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: Moments where you know you're given such a gift because 142 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: it's a difficult situation that is somehow made hilarious. And 143 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you one of mine. Deborah Burke and Joe 144 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: you may remember her. We called her Buck because she 145 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: was buck wild, honey. She was so much fun to 146 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: work with, wide open all the time, but smart as 147 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: she could be when it comes to, you know, criminal investigation. 148 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: So Nancy Grace had a witness. She said, y'all go 149 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: find her. This is where she normally is in this 150 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: particular crack house, but I've got to have her in court. 151 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: We're like, okay, we'll go try to find her. So 152 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 2: we could take off. 153 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: And this is back in the day now, and we 154 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: go to the address and it's all boarded up, but 155 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: you can see how people kind of crawled in through 156 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: little narrow ways and all. 157 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: Well, there were. 158 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: Three metal trash cans, and so we just flipped them over, 159 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: two on the ground, one on top of those two 160 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: climbed right up. 161 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 2: It went in through the window and dropped down. No problem, 162 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: we're geniuses. 163 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: So we look at each other after we get you know, 164 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: he dropped down, and we're like, well, that was stupid, 165 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: because the trash cans are out there. How are we 166 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: going to get back out that wind? So now we're 167 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: kind of trapped to the crack house. But yeah, whatever, 168 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: you know, there's people around. 169 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 2: I'm sure. So we're going to go room to room 170 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 2: and see if we can find her. First couple of 171 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: rooms completely empty, next couple of rooms completely empty. 172 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: The third room had this little crack at the top 173 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: of the like boarded up window area that it was 174 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: shining down just perfect into the corner. And in the 175 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: corner this man looked to be about ninety, but truth 176 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: be told, he's probably sixty five. He was dead, I mean, 177 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: he had been dead. It looked like he was making 178 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: that face, you know where his mouth was kind of 179 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: open and his white you know, eyes were half open, 180 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: half closed, and of course we both look at each 181 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: other like, I'm not doing the report, you know, and. 182 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 2: She's like, well, I'm not going to do the report. 183 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: You know how that goes. 184 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: And so we're kind of laughing, and you know, gonna 185 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: just flip a coin to see who's got to call 186 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: this in, and all of a sudden, he sits straight 187 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: up and says, get out of my house. 188 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: It's the freakiest thing I've ever seen in my life. 189 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: And to hear Buck tell it, I made a new 190 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: door getting out of that place. But Joe Scott, I 191 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: was gone, you hear me, because I was like, that's 192 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: a ghost talking to me, and I don't have time 193 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: for that madness. 194 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: So I hit it. But again, it's one of those moments. 195 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: Deborah and I laughed about that story the rest of 196 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: her life, and sadly we lost her. But even in 197 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: the hospital when she was dying, she told that story 198 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: to a room full of nurses and how I made 199 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: the new door, and she loved that story. And that's 200 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: all the scenes we worked. That's the last thing that 201 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: was even on her mind. Are those funny moments, and 202 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: we all have them, you know, Joe Scott, Sarge Lisa, 203 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: I know you have them, so if there's one you 204 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: want to share. 205 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: Let's end on some funny stuff. 206 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 4: The funniest thing that ever happened in my career, I 207 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 4: guess as a death investigator. I talked about this up 208 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 4: in the Hamptons who done it and we had a 209 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 4: guy that on Airline Highway in Atlanta, And always make 210 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 4: the reference, particularly for you know, anybody that's older that's listening. 211 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 4: If you remember Jimmy swagger and I think he's still 212 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 4: out there somewhere. I have no idea, but he got 213 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 4: caught in a hotel motel on Airline Highway with a 214 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 4: prostitute and the strip became very famous at that time. 215 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 4: And this is there's a long line of these hotels 216 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 4: or motels that went up and down Airline Highway. And 217 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 4: I learned to term from my buddy Joe while we 218 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 4: were in Hampton's Hot Sheets and so it's the same 219 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 4: thing and it's kind of disgusting. But anyway, the same 220 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 4: motel where Jimmy Swaggert had been caught with. Her name 221 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: was Murphrey. I think Pam Murphrey. I can't remember. Anyway, 222 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 4: She actually did a penthouse spread and an interview in 223 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 4: regards to her interactions with Swagger. But it was the 224 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 4: same hotel, and it wasn't too long after this Swagger 225 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 4: blow up. This guy had had picked up a young 226 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 4: lady and had taken her to this particular motel, and 227 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 4: he's rather a plump gentleman, and they went into the 228 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 4: room engaged in you know, sexual congress, if you will, 229 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 4: after the exchanging of money. And in the midst of this, 230 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 4: he begins to turn purple and gag, and he starts 231 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 4: vomiting on the prostitute, who's literally forgive me for being coarsed, 232 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 4: but she's riding him like a horse, essentially, and he 233 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 4: vomits on her. He begins to expel other bodily elements, 234 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 4: to say the least, and of course her natural reaction 235 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 4: was to flee. I mean, she's terrified, as anybody would be, 236 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 4: and she wraps herself in a sheet. She runs down 237 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 4: to the manager's office. And when I got there, I'll 238 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 4: never forget rolling up. And I've been summoned out there 239 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 4: and we were I was engaged in conversation with her, 240 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 4: and the one thing that stands out in mind, other 241 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 4: than the vomit in her hair, was she was smoking 242 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 4: a Virginia Slim cigarette and it was one of the 243 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 4: really long ones, you know, and she was dirty, you know, 244 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 4: feet were filthy, you know, she had sores on her 245 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 4: this sort of thing. And the poor thing was just terrified, 246 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 4: you know. She thought she was probably that she was 247 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 4: going to be taken to jail, and she'd been to 248 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 4: jail many times. But we were just trying to reassure 249 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 4: tell everything was gonna be okay. But anyway, I went 250 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 4: and got examined this guy and it looked like he 251 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 4: was probably in congestive failure. He looked like a candidate, 252 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 4: certainly by his size, and I got his driver's license, 253 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 4: grabbed a deputy sheriff, and I said, no, I was 254 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 4: with my partner at the time. And I said, we'll 255 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 4: roll over here and go to this address if we 256 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 4: can't notify the wife or whoever was there. And it 257 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 4: turned out to be his wife. And it was a 258 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 4: typical New Orleans stucco walk up that they're known for 259 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 4: in kind of suburban New Orleans. You can tell that 260 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 4: this is a very Catholic home. You know, the statue 261 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 4: statues are out front. You've got the Blessed uh Blessed 262 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 4: Virgin there and you've got sacred Heart of Jesus. And 263 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 4: they're staying on. They're posted on either side of the 264 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 4: stair staircase going up with oyster shells all around them, 265 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 4: you know, because they use us for gravel in New Orleans. 266 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 4: They're bleached white. And we're walking up the external staircase 267 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 4: and she we knock on the door. I pull up 268 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 4: my badge, a badger. I said, maam, we need to 269 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 4: talk to you. And she was standing behind a wrought 270 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 4: iron screen door. If you know what that is. It's 271 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 4: like a wrought iron door that has screened behind it. 272 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 4: It's like a security door. And she opens the door 273 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 4: and the first thing out of her mouth was he's dead. 274 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 4: Atn't he? We hadn't said anything at this point, and 275 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 4: I said, man, we need to come in and chat 276 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 4: with you. You know. It's so we go into the sitting room. 277 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 4: Uh you know, the living room opens up right into 278 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 4: her living room and it's got you know, it's pristine. 279 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 4: You know, you can tell this woman is a real 280 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 4: domestic I mean, she really takes care of this house. 281 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 4: And the furniture was all covered in plastic. And I 282 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 4: told this as well, there was a picture of uh 283 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 4: the Pope and a picture of Sinatra on the wall. 284 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 4: The only thing was missing was, you know, the Triumvihrn 285 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 4: is to have Kennedy, and Kennedy wasn't up there. We 286 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 4: advised her to, you know, just sit down, let's have 287 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 4: a chat. And she said, he's dead again. I said, mam, 288 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 4: let's just have a chat. And I confirmed who she was. 289 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 4: I said, ma'am, And this is the way I always 290 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 4: make notifications. I don't beat around the bush, you know, 291 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 4: because you know they ain't, you know, getting away from 292 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 4: the yelling and screaming and national teeth. It's coming one 293 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 4: way or another, and you're cruel if you if you 294 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 4: drag it out. And I just said, ma'am, I regret 295 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 4: to inform you that your husband has died. She says 296 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: he was with a whore, wasn't. And I said, well, ma'am, 297 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 4: he was with a lady. And she had been sitting 298 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 4: on the edge of the sofa and it's like she 299 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 4: had the biggest spring in the world. That she was 300 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 4: pressing down the floor with her backside and she like 301 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 4: launched into the air. At this moment in time, her hair, 302 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 4: her hands went up in the air like summoning God 303 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 4: on high, and she said, she said, praise God, I'm free. 304 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 4: And then she looked at us and said, you're telling 305 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 4: you so, you're telling me I'm off by cross in 306 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 4: this life. And I said, no, ma'am, I'm telling you 307 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 4: that your husband is dead. And she was like rejoicing. 308 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 4: And the little bit that I didn't tell them up 309 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 4: there was that it turned out that this man had 310 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 4: been seeing prostitutes for a long long time and he 311 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 4: had given her like tons of STDs over the years, 312 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 4: and so badly affected that she had had to have 313 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 4: a hysterectomy at one point time. And anyway, jump forward, 314 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 4: it was like, I don't know, two or three weeks later, 315 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 4: I've never had this happen. I'm sitting at my desk 316 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 4: overlooking the Mississippi River in New Orleans and we get 317 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 4: a Manila envelope and open it up, and there is 318 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 4: an envelope in side, and it's black and it's embossed 319 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 4: in gold with like calligraphy. And he opened it up 320 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 4: and it was an invitation to a celebration of death 321 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 4: for him, and she she was so beholden to me 322 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,479 Speaker 4: and my partner that we had delivered this, you know, 323 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 4: these glad tidings to her that she wanted us to 324 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,479 Speaker 4: come and celebrate with her, and I kind of regret it. 325 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 4: Everybody that knows me that's heard the story, they're like, 326 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 4: why did he go? I was like, it was just 327 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 4: it seemed tacky. I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to 328 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 4: do it.

He's like, 387 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 3: no about the body, Oh, I said so, And I 388 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 3: just walked away from him, and then my lieutenant was 389 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 3: there and he turned to me, and he says, we 390 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 3: could always count on you to say something inappropriate at 391 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:58,239 Speaker 3: the right time. Yeah, that was basically it. And I'm like, yeah, 392 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 3: that's that's but yeah, I mean I got hundreds of 393 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 3: those stories. 394 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 2: But it's just it's just. 395 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 4: It's fits fun. 396 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:05,959 Speaker 3: I got a lot. 397 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 5: I got away with a lot of stuff. 398 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 3: I was always able to say things to people in 399 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,479 Speaker 3: certain ways and do things. But like everything else, if 400 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 3: you do your job, you're doing good at your job, 401 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 3: you can get away with. 402 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 6: A lot of stuff. 403 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: I agree with that, but it's yeah, it's. 404 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 3: Just it is what it is. But you know what, 405 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 3: though it is, you have to like Joe had mentioned, 406 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 3: the dark humor of the war humor or whatever. That's 407 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 3: what makes you know people always say, like there's a 408 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 3: picture of cops at a crime scene everyone's laughing, and 409 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: people say, how could you laugh? 410 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: And what is this? 411 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 3: It's a defense mechanism. I mean, it's just as simple 412 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 3: as that. And and some people just don't want to 413 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 3: understand that. So just wanted to get better off my chiste. 414 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 5: It's also trauma bonding. You're there at the same time 415 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 5: and you know, at the end of the day, like 416 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,479 Speaker 5: you can still make a phone call later on, you're 417 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 5: a couple of years later talk about the case and 418 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 5: still reference the same joke because you'll remember that moment. 419 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 5: And it's a screwed up way to remember certain cases. 420 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 5: But like I know, for me, like I identify music 421 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 5: with certain situations, and you can ask me a certain 422 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 5: song and I'll remember where I was and the first 423 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 5: time I heard it. In that situation where you do 424 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 5: have a bunch of cops standing around laughing at a 425 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 5: crime scene, someone's making a joke, but that's the memory 426 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 5: that you're taking from that scene other than what you've seen. 427 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 5: So you're trying to create that balance of emotion. But 428 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 5: if you're not in our shoes, you don't know what 429 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 5: we've just seen and what we've just heard. 430 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely well, do you have a good story for us, Lisa, 431 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 2: I would. 432 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 5: Love to write a book just about these stories, because 433 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 5: most of the stuff that ideal has to do with 434 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 5: people that are accusing their spouse of cheating, and the 435 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 5: stories that I've heard about infidelity and who's doing what 436 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 5: with who, and inter family member accusations and the ruthless 437 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 5: and truthless as I like to call them.

I said, if 500 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 5: you do three hundred and sixty five divided by four, 501 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 5: you're looking at about ninety two exam that I have 502 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 5: to run on your husband. And then I broke out 503 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 5: the math and I told her how much ninety two 504 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 5: exams are going to cost. And I said, we're not 505 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 5: doing this and I don't want to see her husband 506 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 5: ninety three times. So I said to her, I said, 507 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 5: what are your main issues? I said, what exactly is 508 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 5: the root? He goes, I want to know if he's cheating, 509 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 5: and I want to know if he has, like any 510 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 5: devices that he's talking to other women. I said, fine, 511 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 5: So I formulate those questions. Since married, have you had 512 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 5: sexual physical contact with anyone other than your wife? And 513 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 5: since married, do you have any communication devices that your 514 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 5: wife is not aware of. She's thinking burn her phone, 515 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 5: she's thinking laptops, whatever it is. She goes, Oh, I 516 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 5: should probably tell you something. I go what she goes. 517 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 5: There's a password on his phone, so he can't use 518 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 5: his phone unless someone types in the password. There's a 519 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 5: key logger on the computer, so he can only use 520 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 5: the computer unless I remotely log in and type in 521 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 5: the password. There's a block on the TV that he 522 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 5: can't watch TV past ten PM. And he's not allowed 523 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 5: to leave the house unless he tells me he's leaving. 524 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 5: I go, okay, so this man is married to a 525 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 5: dominatrix or he's or he's in a submissive type of marriage. 526 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 5: And then at that point I went down the rabbit 527 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 5: hole after their appointment to have to learn about dominatrix 528 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 5: and dom sub relationships, and of god, the things that 529 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 5: I've seen and read. But that's not even the worst part. 530 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 5: Like it could make It will definitely make a nun blush, 531 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 5: but it will definitely make like other types of people 532 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 5: blush for the research that I had to do. And 533 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 5: so I go to her, go, listen, you could ask 534 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 5: like a third question on the test. Do you want 535 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 5: to ask a fair She goes, I don't know what 536 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 5: to ask. So amongst obviously three of you know my 537 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 5: personality all too well, jokingly, might I add? I said 538 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 5: to her, I go, oh, do you want to ask him? 539 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 5: Have you ever had sexual contact with an animal? I 540 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 5: said that jokingly. This woman goes, yeah, sure, why not, 541 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,239 Speaker 5: Let's just make sure he's not a pervert. So I 542 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 5: go ahead, Yeah, So I run the acquaintance test, which 543 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 5: is the Mandata test I have to do to make 544 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 5: sure that everyone's testable. There's no illegal drugs. They haven't 545 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 5: taken anything to try and beat the test. And then 546 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 5: I run the first chart and the guy is not 547 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 5: reacting to either question about the sexual contact or the devices, 548 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 5: but he's popping on the question pertaining to sexual contact 549 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,479 Speaker 5: with an animal. So at that point I say to myself, 550 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 5: I go I'm like, I got to take a break 551 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 5: for one second. So I lie to him, I go, listen, 552 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 5: I just got to step out and use the restroom. 553 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 5: I'll be right back for two seconds. I grab my 554 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 5: cell phone and I call my father. I'm like, are 555 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 5: you punking me? Like this is one of the first 556 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 5: times I go into Manhattan all by myself, Like did 557 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 5: you set this up? Like? What are you doing? And 558 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 5: he's cracking up on the other end of the phone. 559 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 5: He's like what happened? So I gave him the whole 560 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 5: play by play. He's like, this is comedy genius. I go, well, 561 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 5: are you the writer of the script? Did you produce 562 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 5: this comedy and not invite me? Like where's Ashton Hooker picture? 563 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 5: Am I being punked? He's like, no, this is a 564 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 5: legitimate exam. Go back in, keep a straight face and 565 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 5: just run the test. So I go back in. He's 566 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 5: like Oh, it's everything, okay, I said, yeah, I just 567 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 5: had to use the restroom and I lost my contact. 568 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 5: I wasn't even wearing context. I just had to flinnagle 569 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 5: a reason as to why I was running late. So 570 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 5: I go back in and I and I don't even 571 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 5: run the second chart yet. My go, listen, here's the deal. 572 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 5: I'm going to be straight with you. You have no 573 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 5: issues on these two questions, but you're running an issue 574 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 5: to issue with the animal. I go, what's to deal 575 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 5: with the animal? I'm like, you went to college in California? 576 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 5: Did you guys go to like Tijuwana? Do you go 577 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 5: to a donkey show? 578 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 6: Like? 579 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 5: Did you have an inappropriate actor? A go at the 580 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 5: fraternity house? 581 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: Like? 582 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,959 Speaker 5: What did you do? And he starts hysterical laughing. I go, 583 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 5: is this an anxious laugh? Is it a nervous laugh? 584 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 5: Are you having like a holy crap moment? Something happened? 585 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 5: He goes, yeah, I should probably tell you this one thing. 586 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 5: And all I texted my father under the table was 587 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 5: here we go. And bear in mind, I have to 588 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 5: audio and video every single polygraph that I do because 589 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 5: I'm required to for insurance as well as guidelines for 590 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 5: the American Polygraph Association. So I was like, I can't 591 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 5: wait to watch this one back afterwards. So I go ahead, 592 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 5: and I go, okay, here's the deal. What happened? He goes, Well, 593 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 5: my wife already told you about the keyboard and the 594 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 5: lock computers and the cell phones. And I can't leave 595 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 5: the house when she's if she doesn't have if I 596 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 5: don't have permission, and blah blah blah blah blah. I go, okay, 597 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 5: get back to the animal. What about the animal? He goes, 598 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 5: I was at my mom's house. I said, okay, no problem. 599 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 5: I said, what about your mom's house? Does your mom 600 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 5: have animals? Mom's got a cat? I go, okay, mom's 601 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 5: got a cat. No problem. Where you're going with this, Like, 602 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 5: you can't just give me a little bit. You got 603 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 5: to give me everything, because half a truth is still 604 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,959 Speaker 5: an entire live And that's exactly what I told him, 605 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 5: because you're not telling me one hundred percent of the truth, 606 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 5: so you got to tell me everything. So apparently he 607 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 5: was cat sitting sitting on the couch, and because mom 608 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 5: doesn't have a blocked key, he was watching some sort 609 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 5: of pornography. The cat happened to be on the couch 610 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 5: next to him, and I go, okay, so what's the deal? 611 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 5: He goes, I was eating Cheetos with my right hand 612 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 5: while watching porn and petting the cat. I go, okay, 613 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 5: he goes, But the problem was the cat saw the cheetos, 614 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 5: saw the cheeto dust on my hand, and then it 615 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 5: just didn't end well. The man still comes back to 616 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 5: my office all of these years later, about once or 617 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 5: twice a year, and whenever I see his name on 618 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 5: color id and I'm with my father, We'll both yell 619 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 5: to each other. Catman is calling. 620 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, that's so you want to talk about like 621 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 7: humor in a situation like yeah, was there trauma? 622 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 5: Absolutely, because I had to learn and kind of worry 623 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 5: like what were you doing? But at the same time, 624 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 5: like stories like that remind me of like, Okay, yes, 625 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 5: I a couple was at a fork in the road 626 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 5: and they needed to come to terms of like how 627 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 5: do we proceed in our marriage? So I was able 628 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 5: to give them closure. And in all of our jobs 629 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 5: we have, we're there to give closure to some degree, 630 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 5: whether it's positive or negative. Everyone's at a fork in 631 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 5: the road, so we have to give them the tools 632 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 5: and the information through our investigator process to allow them 633 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 5: to make the informed decision that they used. 634 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: Well, Lisa, I don't think there's anywhere to go from there. 635 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: I think with that we're gonna wrap this up. Well, 636 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to end Zone seven the way that I 637 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,959 Speaker 1: always do with a quote. If a bank robber takes 638 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: over the lens of a surveillance camera, that's mo. 639 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 2: If he then feels the need to tear his. 640 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: Clothes off and dance neked in front of that same camera, 641 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: that signature John Douglas. 642 00:33:46,560 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 8: I'm Cheryl McCollum, and this is Zone seven. 643 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 3: Five
