Thousands of people convened in downtown Dallas Sunday afternoon to protest President Donald Trump's immigration policies in the 2025 Mega March. In other news, state authorities are abruptly shutting down a string of North Texas assisted living facilities, leaving families scrambling to relocate their elderly and high-needs loved ones. Texas Health and Human Services informed families on Thursday that the agency is shutting down a number of facilities operated by Silver Leaf Assisted Living; Monday was supposed to be the day that Neiman Marcus closed its doors for good at the iconic downtown site.

TODAY'S EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY INDIPOP, ACCIDENT.COMSpecial deals and offers for our listeners can be found at info.indipop.co/NEFARIOUSSee what your claim is worth at accident.com/podcastS6 E10 - Dark Side of the Moon - Find Prisma ReyesCW/TW - domestic violence, discussion of sex trafficking, missing minorities Prisma Reyes vanished into thin air on April 17, 2019. Prisma was last seen in Downtown Dallas walking into the Olympus at Ross apartment complex (now named Macallan at Ross) at around 6 pm - her white jeep seen abandoned nearby. She was witnessed on CCTV footage pacing back and forth on her cellphone and making phone calls, close by her ex boyfriend, Ryan's, apartment near the elevator, just over 3 hours after having lunch with him. She was reported missing after she failed to pick up her son from the babysitter that evening - something Prisma would never do is abandon her only child. The chilling thing about this is that it appears there was nothing off about the day she went missing, at least that's what WE thought - until we dove in. Is there a red herring within this episode? Any clues that point to what happened to Prisma, or where she is, or what happened? We will explore it all, as well as statistics on missing persons and why this case is an example of why we all need to pay way more attention and diligence to missing minorities.SOURCES -Kaylee Palmer (next two links)https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10NNZZ4vNWU3sAxgwlQ5iPWetMfydbt7Whttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yOd5ArljbdCzGjvwLeF8fhOm7JFM7URl3yZ4hyr2WdQ/edit#gid=0Dan Fuchs (Prisma's stepdad, interviewed VIA phone call with Courtney)https://www.facebook.com/search/pages/?q=find%20prisma%20reyes&sde=AbpW75ive6444ynNsPN35-ulI0tUrVnwTINieru9Zysq7EssAW9QNdxqgkECMwlGpeN7DPM8LUFBib-VShJrSY3Shttps://thecrimewire.com/true-crime/Missing-Prisma-Denisse-Peralta-Reyeshttps://people.com/crime/prisma-denisse-peralta-reyes-missing-texas-mom/#:~:text=Prisma%20celebrated%20her%2026th%20birthday,at%20972%2D285%2D6336.https://www.wfaa.com/amp/article/news/local/prisma-reyes-still-missing-mesquite-texas-four-years-later/287-987b81c9-7bf5-4b53-a6f8-879caa2b737d https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-county/bring-her-home-mesquite-mother-missing-since-wednesday/287-4f47e160-d25c-459a-aeea-59cf88f2a34fhttps://www.the-sun.com/news/5128029/prisma-reyes-disappearance-update-anniversary-missing-mom/amp/https://www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/tx-prisma-denisse-peralta-reyes-26-did-not-pick-up-her-child-mesquite-17-apr-2019-3.474603/page-45?fbclid=IwAR0YgNPoUAlRw2bV1Ci3DMO4MsNA7D_TVSiqVpNQsa2yn8NRsLTjWNcfULU#post-18077110https://www.insider.com/spikes-in-missing-black-latina-women-gets-little-media-attention-2021-9?amphttps://thegreyhoundnews.com/5699/news/there-is-an-epidemic-of-missing-hispanic-and-latinx-women/https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Prisma_Reyeshttps://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/euptfd/what_happened_to_prisma_denisse_peralta_reyes/https://podtext.ai/going-west-true-crime/prisma-reyes-296 (going west) OUR LINKS - Become a patron!

In the heart of the Lone Star State, Dallas, one of its major cities, is a vibrant blend of rich Texas history and modern charm. From the iconic skyline to the rich cultural culinary scene, Dallas promises an unforgettable adventure for every traveler.We ended our Dallas trip in big ole Dallas. We kicked off Sunday with an outstanding church service at Park Cities PCPC church in downtown Dallas, then changed in the car (yes, we did that) and sped over to our JFK Assassination and Museum Tour. We met at the JKF memorial, which was ugly, isolating, and empty. A solitary place for thinking and apparently singing, this spot was supposed to be ugly, a prominent reminder of the tragedy that occurred on November 22, 1963. We booked this trip through TripAdvisor, and we were taken on a full walking and driving tour around the city. Our fantastic tour guide gave us the history and background of Lee Harvey Oswald, a tour of JFK's exact assignations spots, and the conspiracy (or truth) behind the horrific events. We even explored the Lee Harvey Oswald Rooming House, where Lee resided. The tour was terrific and quite informative; however, make sure you get to the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza on time! We arrived 5 minutes late to our scheduled time, and the grumpy employees would not let us in! Apparently, it was the first time this had occurred. The tour started at 1:40 p.m. and lasted about 4 hours. Mid-tour, our guide took us to the Dallas Farmers Market, where I had the best brisket I have ever had at Beyond the Butchers Homestead Grille. If you don't like BBQ, the market had everything from sushi to Jamaican food and cute boutiques and shops. Here, I discovered the best-smelling soaps and lotions at Abundantly Aromatic and bought way too many of them!If you are a foodie looking for the best eats around town, try Hudson House. If you are more of a coffee person, try LaLa Land in lower Greenville, where you can order breakfast but focus on the excellent coffee. For an elegant French-inspired brunch spot, try Toulouse Cafe.Try these Tex Mex. spots for lunch or dinner: Mesero in Klyde Warren Park, Las Palmas and Gloria's in Uptown, Meso Maya in Downtown Dallas, Javier's, Casa Mama's, and Gloria's. The Velvet Taco is a great fast-food taco spot. My fave late-night downtown taquito spot was Uno Mas. They are open till 11:00 p.m. and are perfect for any late-night cravings! Their tacos and queso fundido were terrific, and our waitress was super cool and friendly. For the best Margarita in Dallas (called the Mambo Taxi), try Mi Cocina in Highland Park Village. For excellent rooftop drinks, try HG Supply Co. For a Casual New American kitchen & wine bar, try Sixty Vines. For the best pizza in Dallas, try Cane Rosso. For fresh seafood, try TJ's Seafood Market. Uchi has incredible sushi, and Bob's Steak & Chop House is an A+ steakhouse. The Honor Bar has shareable snacks and delectable sandwiches, and Pecan Lodge is a phenomenal BBQ joint. For a casual burger restaurant, try Rodeo Goat.Other unique spots for tasty lunch, dinner, and drinks are The Henry in Uptown, Dolce Rivera in Uptown, and Casablanca in the Bishop Arts District. If you are looking for other activities to do in Dallas, the Fort Worth Water Gardens are a different sight. The Dallas Arboretum is gorgeous in the Spring or Autumn. We also saw the Rocky Horror Show at the Majestic Theater. It was a bit crazy for my speed but very interactive, and the regular playgoers loved it. Other fun areas in and around Dallas to explore include Highland Park Village, West Village, Deep Ellum Dallas, Trinity Groves, John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza, Northpark Center, and Klyde Warren Park. The homes in Highland Park are spectacularly enormous. West Village is perfect for people-watching while you eat. Deep Ellum Dallas has fun restaurants, breweries, and bars. Northpark Center is a local favorite mall, and Highland Park is a great shopping spot for all your luxury needs. We stayed in the Magnolia Hotel while we were in downtown Dallas. It was beautiful on the outside and a little dusty on the inside, but I loved the view of downtown Dallas, the full-length vintage mirror, the large bathtub, and the cute coffee shop attached to the Hotel. I found the Magnolia on Expedia and would give it a B+.Some other Hot Hotel Recommendations are the Canvas Hotel, Crescent Court, The W, Virgin Hotel, and Canopy.
