A week before the world learned of a jewelry heist in France, the Indianapolis zoo was grappling with a theft of its own: two small tortoises. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department recently released the initial draft of its 5-year strategic plan after months of gathering community input and data. About 100 clergy, religious leaders and community members gathered outside the state prison near Kokomo, Indiana. Governor Mike Braun has called for a special legislative session to consider redrawing the boundaries of Indiana's congressional districts. Want to go deeper on the stories you hear on WFYI News Now?

"Be on-time, put out the extra effort. ... No matter what you're going to be in life, be the best." --Owner-operator John Treadway on his motivation through the years Raised to “be the best” at whatever he did, owner-operator John Treadway is clearly working hard to achieve that lofty goal with his one-truck business. It's a two-truck business, actually, with Treadway trucking with his own authority mostly in a stunningly beautiful 1998 Peterbilt 379 he calls "Teal Appeal," but with a 2006-model Pete kept as a spare to run in winter, and as a failsafe to serve his central customer. Treadway was Overdrive's Trucker of the Month for September, featured in this story by Senior Editor Matt Cole, whose long talk with Treadway makes up the bulk of this week's podcast: https://overdriveonline.com/15767883 Owner-operator John Treadway hauls flowers year-round for a greenhouse operation near his base in Kokomo, Indiana, with his Tway (prounced TEE-Way) Rose Transport, now with authority for going on a decade after some decades more leased to other companies. His story stretches back to his start trucking with the 1990 purchase of a 1985 Kenworth Liberty Edition cabover he used to haul grain with his older brother, eventually moving on to pull flatbeds and a variety of other trailers. It's reefer work these days for the flower operation, and since we saw his tractor at MATS early this year he's put work into a 2017 Great Dane reefer to match the lines and colors of "Teal Appeal" 1998 Pete, as you'll hear in the podcast today. Yet so much of Treadway's approach to trucking he traces to the time before he ever held a steering wheel, his life built in the business on top of those be-the-best values instilled at an early age along with admiration of truck drivers whose names he may have never known but from whom he garnered examples to which to aspire. Along with business brass tacks he keeps early lessons learned ever at the front his mind about what it takes to build success as a one-truck owner, and to have a little fun along the way. "One of my good friends told me a long, long time ago, 'To be an owner-operator, that's a 364-day-a year job,'" Treadway said. "You're driving through the day, you're hauling the loads, but it doesn't stop. The weekend comes, and you've got repairs to do, and then on top of that if you want to add a piece of chrome or something, you have to try to fit all that in. There's just a grind to it. You've just gotta keep grinding, and keep moving forward."

Welcome, Neighbor, to the table of Kokomo's 6th Funniest Comedian... We're not as young as we used to be! We're even older than we were a few seconds ago, when we said that... Then: The good citizens of Kokomo have been working on a tough question... which crimes should we care about? Recently a teenage father committed homicide, and everyone seems to agree that sort of thing should be stopped. But--what about a "teeth whitening business" full of prostitutes? (Note: be suspicious of any business that offers "massages" as an add-on!) Later: Luke is kicking off his Courageous Era by upsetting his elderly Catholic relatives. His meme is a bit "niche." But you will probably understand it, Neighbor! Contact the Comedian's family at nextdoor@johnbranyan.com .

Hello to you listening in Kokomo, Indiana!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Each year at this time my Camino de Santiago memories come back to life as I retrace my pilgrimage steps through the pages of my journal. Why this annual ritual? It's a witness to my life: how I lived life before Camino and living it after Camino.In truth I want to relive the memories like strolling down a cobblestone village street, entering a small bar for a glass of vino tinto, and savoring it outside with a view of the Meseta, the vast plains I traversed. I recall an elderly gentleman joining me, finding peace in the Meseta's tranquility. After returning my glass the bar owner proudly displayed a yellowed article: the Tempranillo he served me had earned recognition in The Wine Enthusiast. He was so proud of what he had produced in his vineyards.I revisit these experiences because they've become a guide emphasizing the wisdom of looking back when unsure of the way forward. Looking back at where you've been can reveal the future of where you should go.Question: How do you reflect on the past to navigate your future? And, if you could use a guide what's your Project? How can I help?You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

This week, the guys try something they've never done before: a live unboxing of a possible "sticking it to the man" haul! Evan just bought a big box of stuff based on one high-value item he could see, but he doesn't really know what other goodies he might find. So, will he uncover some sellable gems? Or is he the proud owner of a hunk of junk? Maybe he can help fund Josh's new blinds since blocking the sun can be blindingly expensive! The guys also recap their weeks, including a raving review of Kokomo, Indiana, and a Homearama hangout. And as always, there are also some Fact of the Week and This Day in Hearstory tidbits mixed in!

What started as a passion for cooking over fire quickly turned into a full-blown mission for me. My journey into BBQ began the way many great stories do—backyard cooks for family and friends, experimenting with rubs, sauces, and different pits until I found the flavors that truly spoke to me. I wasn't just cooking food—I was creating an experience. Over time, the spark grew into something bigger. I built Blazin Jett BBQ in Kokomo, Indiana, as more than just a name—it's a reflection of my drive, my style, and my belief that great BBQ brings people together. Whether it's firing up the Weber kettle with the vortex, running the Traeger, or lighting up the Su-V gun for that perfect sear, I love pushing boundaries and showing people there's always a new level of flavor waiting to be unlocked. I've taken my brand from backyard cooks to competitions, social media, and collaborations with companies I respect. Along the way, I've been blessed to connect with other pitmasters, creators, and BBQ lovers who've inspired me to keep going. My Goals: • Continue to grow Blazin Jett BBQ into a respected name in competition and content creation. • Represent and collaborate with brands that share my same passion for quality, innovation, and community. • Build products—rubs, sauces, and gear—that deliver the same bold, authentic flavor I stand behind. • Inspire others to fire up their pits, try new things, and enjoy the journey as much as the results. For me, BBQ isn't just food—it's fire, family, and fuel for creating unforgettable moments. And I'm just getting star

After graduating from Purdue in 1986, Dr. Cooney practiced allopathic veterinary medicine for the first 20 years of his career. When he overcame his own health crisis with homeopathic care, Dr. Cooney made the bold move to become a Certified Veterinary Homeopath through The Pitcairn Institute and eventually shifted his entire practice to homeopathy.While Dr. Cooney also offers general surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, etc., he shares how homeopathy is actually the shining star of his practice since he sees such a massive difference in how well animals heal compared to what he witnessed when practicing conventionally.

Sunday, May 25th, 1980 -- Kokomo, Indiana. Twenty-nine year old special education teacher Janet Shirar doesn't show up for a pre-planned family gathering and birthday party for her nephew. After multiple calls to her apartment go unanswered, her mother, stepfather and friend arrive to check on her. They find her car in the parking lot, the door slightly ajar and her apartment cloaked in darkness.Entering, they notice several concerning details and items out of place. A small, bloody handprint is clearly visible on the wall beside her bedroom door. As they approached the bedroom, their eyes were drawn to the open bathroom door and there, lying face down on the cold tile floor, they discovered Janet's lifeless body. She had been the victim of a vicious knife attack.Over the course of the next sixteen months, investigators commit all of their time and energy to tracking an unidentified woman who has made bizarre statements about the crime and, possibly, her involvement it. However, when the case becomes a political issue, a debate between the prosecutor's office and detectives leaves the family with neither answers nor justice. More than forty-five years later, the truth remains obscured and Janet's killer continues to walk free.Follow Trace Evidence on Social MediaTwitter --- Instagram --- TikTok --- YouTube --- Like Facebook Page --- Join Facebook Group --- Threads --- Like MeWe Page --- Join MeWe Group --- BlueskySuppport Trace EvidencePatreon --- Paypal --- Cash App --- Buy Me A CoffeeTrace Evidence Merch ShopsTeePublic --- ShopTEPod --- SpreadshopAll Other LinksOfficial Trace Evidence Website --- LinkTreeMusic Courtesy of:"Lost Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Echoes of Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/#truecrimepodcast #unsolvedmysteries #coldcase #coldcaseinvestigation #murder #murdermystery #missingperson #missingpersons #truecrimecommunity #mysterypodcast #truecrime #coldcasefiles #truecrimestories #crimelovers #truecrimeaddict #truecrimejunkie #crimescene #justiceforall #missing #crimesquad #podcastcommunity #sleuthsunite #darkhistories #criminalmindset #detective #detectivediaries #forensics #forensicfiles #crimestories #crimepodcast #traceevidence #traceevidencepodcast #criminalinvestigation #justiceforvictims #detectivework #truecrimediscussion #podcastfamily #listenandsolve #crimefans #listentotraceevidence #uncoverthetruth #podcastrecommendations #podcastlove #podcastlife #truecrimeobsessed #followtheclues #cluefinders #podcastaddict #unsolvedmurders #unsolveddisappearances #detectiveatheart #jointheinvestigation #disappearance #vanishing #abduction #gonemissing #upandvanished #pacheco #stevenpacheco #podcasting #crimetalk #crimeanalysis #theories #janetshirar #shirar #kokomo #indianaunsolved #realcrimes #disappeared #evidenceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.

In our 4th series, we're tackling The Beach Boys 1992 album Summer in Paradise with guest Bryan Hall. In Part 1, we go back to the early days of The Beach Boys to understand how one of America's most innovative bands slowly transformed into a nostalgia act. We'll trace the group's rise, Brian Wilson's brilliance (and burnout), and how Mike Love managed to keep the name alive long enough to eventually... do this... thing.Want to rediscover The Beach Boys before this series?

Hey, Neighbor! We start with a long excerpt from C.S. Lewis' Prince Caspian. That's called a "cold open," and it's very hip and interesting! (Eventually it will tie into the discussion about bad church leaders and what to do when they're going THE OPPOSITE WAY from Jesus.) Next, John has been kindly asked not to come back to his home church of 35 years. This is necessary for unity! We must all get excited about the mission of bringing in lots of new baby Christians--who will presumably be asked to leave in 35 years... Then: The Peaches reads quotes from "The Unstuck Church," which was written by a business consultant and is now being used as a play book for how to act less like a church and more like a Chik-Fil-A. This was the book that was used in the attempt to hijack Faith Baptist Church in North Carolina, and now it has landed in Kokomo. Later: Now that everyone is nice and angry at how positively STUPID it is to throw Lucy out of the family because her crying is raining on your parade, we return to Narnia...Where Aslan tells Lucy what to do when the people with the power won't listen to you. Email the Comedian's family at nextdoor@johnbranyan.com . If you have some experience with The Unstuck Group or other "consultants" who are influencing church culture, reach out! You're not crazy.

Dalton Albertson, Marketing & Business Development at LAD Dental Group, and Brad Lenos, the company's COO, take you behind the scenes of an 11-location Indiana network that began as a single Kokomo practice in 1978 and grew into a dental powerhouse—almost derailed by one bad lease. In Wabash they under-priced a brand-new build by $200,000, a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks location costs are just another line item.They confront the brutal truth of today's “dollar milkshake” economy, where owning real estate feels like a hedge against global liquidity—but inflated rents can turn thriving offices into cash hemorrhages. Their battle over whether to buy or lease has become the most controversial debate in multi-site healthcare real estate, and their lessons apply equally to med-spa operators, veterinary networks, and wellness chains.You'll hear how converting from cash-based to accrual accounting ripped away hidden write-offs, exposed distorted KPIs, and forced every hire to carry new financial accountability. In a 4 % unemployment market where staff wages have doubled while insurance reimbursements stayed flat, they reimagined benefit packages, reconsidered seven-day schedules, and doubled down on airtight 30/60/90-day reviews.At the heart of their success lies ruthless execution and radical candor. Free snacks did nothing to stop turnover, but a culture built on unyielding follow-through and consistent training transformed every department into a margin-savvy machine.
