The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department issued an advisory – eight days before the first World Cup match. The warning to fans is to not to “let scammers steal World Cup experience. Tara Copp and Salvador Rizzo reported for The Washington Post on Tuesday that Elias Irizarry was hired to work in the Defense Department’s Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict and internal alarms are going off, according to four people familiar with the situation. Apple is expected to unveil a new iPhone feature designed to make splitting restaurant bills easier. The feature, part of the upcoming iOS 27 update, will allow users to take a photo of a receipt, assign items to different people and automatically calculate how much each person owes. Police are investigating but say there’s no immediate danger to the public. The most likely explanation is people searching for valuables underground. Still, authorities warn it’s illegal and extremely risky behavior.

If you have information regarding missing hiker Monica Reza, contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) Homicide Bureau – Missing Persons Unit at (323) 890-5500. Detective Rincon or Detective Sanchez are leading the investigation, and you can also reach out to the Crescenta Valley Station at (818) 248-3464. Today we are talking about a missing person's case out of LA County. Her family is begging for her disappearance to be remembered and revisited so that the investigation stays active. They want to know what happened to their loved one, Monica Jacinto Reza.The DetailsMonica Reza was a brilliant and fit 60 year old woman. In the early morning hours of June 22nd, 2025, she'd dropped off her car at the house of one of two hiking companions, people she knew from the yoga studio she went to, and they carpooled to the trailhead near Mount Materman in the Angeles National Forest.As the crow flies, the trailhead is 30 miles from the city of angels. Monica was an avid hiker, she might have been 60 years old, but she was lean and fit. As the three ascended, one of the companions, the only other female, decided to bail out. The elevation and aggressive climb didn't seem to agree with her. She told Monica and the male that she'd stick around the area and meet them on their descent. But that would be the last time she saw Monica.About 9am, Monica and the male summited Mount Waterman. The companion shared the photo of Monica there, and another taken some feet down from there beside a lightning-struck tree. That male wasn't in the photos, and none with him on the summit were ever released to the public. Neither was his name.Curiously, the male took off at a jogging pace down the mountain. And Monica Reza followed close behind. I say curiously, because seasoned hikers said the terrain on that part of the trail was too riddled with dead pine needles, too rocky and too steep to make jogging safe. But the metadata shows that's the pace they traveled.Before they'd reached their other companion, who still waited for them, the trail forked left and right. The male hiker told rescuers later that he signaled to Monica to take the right fork and she waved in return, seeming to understand the instruction. And here's where Monica Reza went missing. He looked back ten or so minutes later, and Monica was no longer behind him. The male said he doubled back, calling for Monica, which their female friend reported hearing from below them, but still no Monica. He looked around, called out and soon met up with the female companion. Alarmed, they kept looking and soon, by luck, ,encountered a group of five people, one of which was a regular volunteer for search and rescue. By 11am, they'd reported Monica missing to authorities. There was a multi-county, multi-jurisdiction response to the call. Soon people were combing the trail and mountainside. Search dogs were enlisted. A helicopter with FLIR was used.

Is the Los Angeles County Sheriff intentionally understaffed to prevent evictions? We investigate the 2-3-month backlog, the Board of Supervisors' latest moves, and a proposed fix for the housing crisis.
James is joined by Dakota Spotlight researcher Mari Zoerb Hansen for a conversation with investigative reporters Hayley Fox and Betsy Shepherd about the making of Valley of Shadows, their deep dive into the disappearance of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Jon Aujay. It's a discussion about reporting, persistence, and what happens when a case refuses to stay buried. Following the interview, you'll hear Episode 1 of the series. Listen to Valley of Shadows: https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/valley-of-shadows About Valley of Shadows: How the search for a missing deputy uncovered the Mojave Desert's meth epidemic, the outlaw bikers supplying it, and the corrupt police force covering it up. On June 11, 1998, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputy Jon Aujay went for a run in California's Devil's Punchbowl park. A long-distance runner and former military, Aujay felt at home in the rocky terrain, but when he didn't return home by nightfall, his wife reported him missing. Nearly 30 years later, Aujay has yet to be found and the mystery surrounding his disappearance has only deepened. Some say Aujay is just another missing hiker, claimed by the inhospitable landscape of the Southern California desert. Some say he took his own life out there. But there's another theory that many of Aujay's friends and LASD colleagues are convinced is true… that he was the victim of foul play, and that his own department is covering it up. Through exclusive interviews, revealing wiretaps, and buried police files, investigative reporters Hayley Fox and Betsy Shepherd dig into what the sheriff's department has kept hidden all these years. Told over 8 episodes, Valley of Shadows follows the hairpin turns of the Aujay case, and breaks new ground in the search to uncover what really happened to the missing deputy. Episode 1: The Devil's Punchbowl: Deputy Jon Aujay is former military, an ultramarathon runner, and a part of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department's elite SWAT unit, so when he fails to return home from a run in Antelope Valley's Devil's Punchbowl…no one knows what to think. The sheriff's department launches a widespread search for him, but finds no trace. Theories of accident, suicide, and desertion swirl, but Aujay's former boss — retired CaptainMike Bauer — is convinced there's something darker at play.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Surviving ish (political edition), the host stresses that party loyalty doesn't matter when it comes to sexual assault allegations, saying the platform believes and stands with victims regardless of whether the accused is Republican or Democrat. They review a rapid timeline of accusations against Eric Swalwell: a San Francisco Chronicle report on April 10, 2026 alleging two assaults by a former district staffer (including one when she was 21 and too intoxicated to consent) and another in April 2024 in New York; CNN reporting three additional women describing a pattern of mentorship shifting into explicit messages and unwanted touching; Swalwell dropping out of the California governor's race and then resigning from Congress; and a press conference detailing an alleged 2018 violent assault now under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The host also cites DHS scrutiny over a nanny's work authorization and a Manhattan DA criminal probe into the April 2024 allegation. #EricSwalwellScandal #TruthMatters #MAGA #democrat #republican #believewomenSupport the show

Ray Bercini and Sara Elander join Dr. Sandie Morgan to explore what's really at stake when a city like Los Angeles hosts the World Cup — and why the biggest trafficking risk might not be what you think.Chapters(00:00) - Introduction: What LA's Preparing for and Why It Matters (01:04) - Meet Ray and Sara: Roles at Saving Innocence and the LA Task Force (06:19) - Building a Legacy Committee: Planning for FIFA and Beyond (09:03) - Law Enforcement Readiness: Operations, Agencies, and Coordination (11:50) - Separating Myth from Reality: What the Data Actually Shows About Trafficking and Major Events (16:36) - Preparing for the Surge: Tips, Leads, and Victim Services Coordination (24:18) - Vetting Outside Organizations and Staying in Your Lane (32:37) - What Does Success Look Like After FIFA? Ray Bercini and Sara ElanderRay Bercini serves as Task Force Coordinator and Law Enforcement Liaison at Saving Innocence. With 31 years at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department — including six years dedicated to human trafficking work — Ray brings deep cross-sector expertise to the intersection of law enforcement and victim services. He has been instrumental in building the LA Regional Human Trafficking Task Force into one of the largest co-located task forces in the nation, and has played a key role in preparing Los Angeles for major events including the Super Bowl, FIFA World Cup, and LA28 Olympics.Sara Elander is Director of Programs at Saving Innocence and Victim Service Coordinator for the LA Regional Human Trafficking Task Force. With over six years of experience in program management and trauma-informed care, Sara leads a team of crisis case managers and oversees survivor-centered services across LA County. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Community Advocacy and Social Policy from Arizona State University and is committed to healing-centered approaches that empower survivors toward long-term recovery and stability.Key PointsThe widely repeated claim that major sporting events dramatically spike sex trafficking lacks supporting data — but the absence of proof isn't proof of absence, and LA is launching a research study around FIFA to finally generate real, local data.Labor trafficking is the more evidence-based concern around large-scale events, with exploitation rising sharply in the lead-up to events through construction, hospitality, and vendor supply chains.The LA Regional Human Trafficking Task Force launched a Sports and Major Events Committee with roughly 30 members and six subcommittees, designed as a legacy infrastructure that can serve future events beyond just FIFA.Coordinating tips during a major international event is a complex, unsolved challenge — multiple agencies including FBI, HSI, LAPD, and LASD will all have tip lines, and the team is working to centralize reporting without losing coverage.One of the most important lessons from the 2022 Super Bowl was that outside organizations parachuting in with good intentions — but without coordination — can undermine local trust and misdirect survivors away from local resources.Effective multi-agency collaboration requires every organization to clearly define what they uniquely bring to the table, stay in their lane, and go through a vetting process before engaging in high-stakes response work.Sara's definition of success after FIFA centers on community empowerment — if hospitality workers, transportation staff, and community members leave better equipped to identify and report trafficking indicators, that's a lasting win.Ray's measure of success is straightforward: survivors of all forms of trafficking — sex and labor — are identified, connected to resources, and treated with dignity, which no single agency can accomplish alone.ResourcesSaving InnocenceLA Regional Human Trafficking Task ForceNational Human Trafficking HotlineCompass ConnectionsBlue CampaignLA Regional Crime StoppersGlobal Center for Women and JusticeEnding Human Trafficking Podcast
Washington lawmakers are advancing SB 5068, a controversial bill that would allow non-citizens legally authorized to work in the United States to become police officers, sheriff's deputies, firefighters, fish and wildlife officers, corrections officers, and employees within prosecuting attorneys' offices.Supporters say the change will help solve major staffing shortages in public safety agencies.Critics argue it raises serious questions about citizenship, allegiance to the Constitution, and who should wield the power of the state over American citizens.In this episode of Left Coast News, we break down:• What SB 5068 actually does• Which public safety jobs would be affected• The constitutional and firearms questions critics are raising• Why departments across the country are struggling to recruit officers• The staffing crisis hitting the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, where deputies are now working up to 12 consecutive days without a day offAs law enforcement shortages grow nationwide, this debate may soon expand far beyond Washington State.#WashingtonState #SB5068 #WashingtonPolitics #LawEnforcement #PoliceRecruitment #PublicSafety #ImmigrationPolicy #WashingtonLegislature #PoliceStaffingCrisis #LeftCoastNews #WestCoastPolitics #LawEnforcementNews #PublicSafetyDebate #ConstitutionalDebate #StatePolitics #PolicePolicy

In 1998, Deputy Jon Aujay went for a run in the California desert and never returned. After a weeklong search, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department determined he went to the Devil's Punchbowl to commit suicide - a conclusion that did not sit right with some of his fellow deputies. Given the area's reputation for meth labs, colleagues suspected Aujay stumbled across something he wasn't supposed to see. They point to dealers who've claimed to kill a cop in the desert. And the accusations against one of Aujay's fellow deputies who was investigated for his ties to a violent meth dealer. The podcast “Valley of Shadows” digs into the disappearance of Jon Aujay and whether it's tied to the ruthless drug trade run out of the Southern California desert. Hosts Hayley Fox and Betsy Shepherd take listeners on a journey that includes cover-ups, dirty cops, Bigfoot, and a meth dealer who looks like Santa Claus.

On this episode of Truth & Justice Show, we sit down with Brenden Corbett, a candidate for Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, to discuss one of the most urgent challenges facing the criminal justice system today: the cycle of repeat crime and drug offenses. Corbett explains how many individuals exit the jail system only to return shortly after, trapped in a revolving door driven by addiction, lack of support, and failed reintegration. Rather than focusing solely on incarceration, he outlines a vision that prioritizes accountability paired with real solutions—helping individuals coming out of custody successfully assimilate back into society. The conversation explores public safety, rehabilitation, and the role law enforcement can play in breaking long-standing cycles that harm individuals, families, and communities across Los Angeles County. This episode offers a thoughtful look at how addressing reentry and recovery is essential to reducing crime and building safer neighborhoods.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is already sitting in federal custody, already facing civil lawsuits, already under investigation for trafficking-related conduct — but now the entire landscape has shifted again. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has officially confirmed that they are investigating a new sexual assault allegation tied to an incident reported to have occurred in 2020. And this one? It's not decades old. It's not lost to history. It lives in the digital era, where timelines can be cross-checked, data can be recovered, and investigators can build a picture of the truth in ways that simply weren't possible twenty years ago. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down exactly what this new allegation means — not in the sensationalized, rumor-driven way the internet churns out quickly, but in a grounded, fact-based, emotionally clear look at what happens when a complaint like this enters a system already in motion. What does it mean when LASD publicly says they're investigating? Why does the 2020 date matter so much? And how does this fit into the wider legal environment surrounding Combs, including federal raids, seized electronics, and a growing number of civil claims? This is not about assuming guilt. This is about understanding why this one report carries so much weight, why survivors come forward when power starts to crack, and how accountability works when someone who has spent decades insulated by money, fame, and influence suddenly finds themselves answering to the same system everyone else does. We're looking at this moment from all angles: the psychology, the legal implications, and the reality of what happens next if investigators find even a shred of corroboration. Because when a case enters a jurisdiction like Los Angeles — a jurisdiction not intimidated by celebrity — the rules change. This story isn't finished. But today, it took a very significant turn. #HiddenKillers #DiddyInvestigation #SeanCombsCase #TrueCrimeNews #LegalAnalysis #LASD #BreakingCrimeStories #SurvivorVoices #JusticeSystem #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the Lynwood Vikings, one of many deputy gangs of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Deputy gangs are gangs, formed and founded, by deputies of the LASD. And, like most gangs, they involve tattoos and racism and acts of violence as a form of initiation into the gang. But unlike other gangs, these are gangs made up of law enforcement officers who are meant to serve and protect the community. These gangs enact violence on the community and – because they all believe in maintaining the blue wall of silence (AKA not snitching on another cop), their misconduct goes with them to the grave. Not only all of that: Members of these gangs have been responsible for horrific crimes, including but not limited to: beating up inmates and then filing false reports to cover it up, retaliating against whistleblowers, and even murder. As of 2021, there were 24 known and active deputy gangs within the LASD. As of right now when we're recording this in 2025, there continue to be at least six that we know of.It goes without saying, but this is unacceptable. In the 2023 report that a special oversight committee put together to combat this issue, they said of these gangs, “Both historically and currently, [they] exalt the use of excessive force against civilians, harass other deputies, and undermine the chain of command within the Department. However denominated, the existence of these groups and their impact adversely affects the mission of the Department and undermines public trust in the Department.”To summarize: We know of at least 19 people that have been killed by these gangs, all of which were men of color. We also know that, over the last fifty years, Los Angeles County (i.e., the taxpayers of Los Angeles County) have paid out some $100 million dollars in response to settlements and lawsuits related to these deputy gangs.There are seriously so many of these gangs that we would be here for six hours if I told you specific details about all of them. So in this episode, we are more so doing an overview of these various deputy gangs and then focusing on one specific one: the Lynwood Vikings.Follow Hashtag History on Instagram @hashtaghistory_podcast for all of the pictures mentioned in this episode.Citations for all sources can be located on our website at www.HashtagHistory-Pod.com.

Steve Dulan, professor and licensed attorney, joins The Steve Gruber Show to dive into the fight for the Second Amendment, and to challenge the notion that it's a “second-class right.” He highlights how prominent voices like Pam Bondi are standing up for gun rights, and discusses the DOJ's newly filed lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for unreasonable delays in issuing concealed carry permits. The conversation explores why bureaucratic obstruction of gun licensing is a threat to constitutional freedoms.
On this installment of the Gutowski Files we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss the United States Department Of Justice's lawsuit filed against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department claiming intentional delays in the processing of concealed weapons permits and further claiming that it constitutes a violation of the civil rights of the applicants. Active Self Protection exists to help good, sane, sober, moral, prudent people in all walks of life to more effectively protect themselves and their loved ones from criminal violence. On the ASP Podcast you will hear the true stories of life or death self defense encounters from the men and women that lived them. If you are interested in the Second Amendment, self defense and defensive firearms use, martial arts or the use of less lethal tools used in the real world to defend life and family, you will find this show riveting. Join host and career federal agent Mike Willever as he talks to real life survivors and hear their stories in depth. You'll hear about these incidents and the self defenders from well before the encounter occurred on through the legal and emotional aftermath. Music: bensound.com
Last week, we introduced you to the story of Blake Nex, who vanished from his home in Claremont, California, in March of 1993. At his house in Palmer Canyon, his family found groceries still sitting on the counter, his cats left inside, and no sign of Blake. Weeks later, his truck was discovered parked at Ontario International Airport, which led some to believe he had left willingly. But with no investigation opened by law enforcement at the time, the case quickly went cold and his family was left to search for answers on their own.In Part 2, we pick up decades later, when Blake's brother Royse connected online with Andrea, a woman halfway across the world who had stumbled upon Blake's case. Their connection reignited the search, and together they began piecing together fragments of memory, long-circulating rumors, and theories that had lingered for years. In this episode, we follow those threads to explore what people close to Blake remember, what they suspect, and the whispers of activities he may have been involved in before he disappeared.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Blake Nex, please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at (323) 890-5500.For more information, visit findblakenex.com.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In March of 1993, 37-year-old Blake Nex vanished from his home in Claremont, California. Blake's family grew concerned when they couldn't reach him, so a relative went to check his house. At first glance, nothing seemed amiss. There were no signs of a struggle or forced entry, but the scene inside Blake's home told an even stranger story. Groceries were still sitting on the counter, as if Blake had just come home from the store and been plucked out of his life in the middle of an ordinary day. His cats were left behind to fend for themselves, along with five hundred dollars in cash, but Blake himself was nowhere to be found.A couple of weeks later, Blake's truck turned up in the parking lot of a local airport. No one could say when it had been left there or by whom. Then, after his disappearance, Blake's home was broken into. An answering machine, toolbox, and several expensive bicycles were stolen, only adding to the mystery.When Blake's family reported him missing, they felt the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department brushed off their concerns. At the time, department policies didn't require them to take reports for missing adults, and they considered Blake to be voluntarily missing. Nearly two decades would slip by before law enforcement finally took up the case. By then, Blake's trail had gone ice cold. Any evidence that could have revealed what happened to Blake was already gone, swallowed by time and by the investigation that never began.Now, decades later, Blake's loved ones are determined to reignite the search for answers, holding onto the hope that the truth about his disappearance can still be uncovered.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Blake Nex, please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at (323) 890-5500. For more information, visit https://www.findblakenex.com, where you can learn more about his case and reach out to his loved ones who are still searching for answers.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
On the night of August 28, 2013, 19-year-old college sophomore Bryce Laspisa left his apartment near Sacramento, California, and began driving south toward his parents' home in Orange County. But he never made it there. In the early morning hours of August 30, Bryce's SUV was found wrecked at the bottom of a ravine near Castaic Lake. His wallet, duffel bag, laptop, and phone were all recovered. But Bryce himself was gone. Despite massive searches, no trace of him has ever been found. It's been twelve years since Bryce vanished, and his disappearance remains one of California's most haunting mysteries. 19-year-old Bryce Laspisa was last heard from at 2:08 a.m. on August 30, 2013, when he told his mother he was too tired to drive and planned to sleep in his car. At 5:30 a.m., his Toyota Highlander was found at the bottom of a ravine near Castaic Lake. Tracking dogs followed his scent across the dam and toward a nearby truck stop. But no trace of Bryce was ever found. When he disappeared, Bryce was 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, with red hair and blue eyes. He has a tattoo of a Taurus bull head with a Roman numeral on his left shoulder. He was last seen wearing white cargo shorts, a blue and white checkered shirt, and white and red Nike shoes. If you have information in this case, please call the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at (818) 984-0630.

Judge Paul Engelmeyer has refused the Trump administration's request to release the grand jury transcripts from Ghislaine Maxwell's prosecution. He notes forcefully that he's reviewed the grand jury transcripts and there's no there there — everything of interest disclosed to the grand jury became public at trial. Indeed, the only reason Engelmeyer considered releasing the transcript was that it would serve the public interest of showing the government had been lying about what's in the transcript. But he said that wasn't necessary, either, because the government ultimately admitted in subsequent filings that the transcript didn't contain interesting information. So what, exactly, have we been doing here?In other news, some idiot threw a sandwich at a CBP officer sent by Trump to patrol the streets of Washington and the Justice Department is hot to make an example him. Laura Loomer's defamation suit against Bill Maher continues.Plus: tariffs, a look at a couple of favorable rulings for Trump out of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, an update on US Attorney Bill Essayli's effort to keep former Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Trevor Kirk out of prison, and the misfortune of Mohamed Bahi, an aide to Eric Adams who does not seem to enjoy the same protection from federal justice that Adams himself has.Visit serioustrouble.show to find episode transcripts and sign up for updates from us.

Presidential historian and Ronald Reagan Institute Senior Fellow Tevi Troy is in for Jim today. Join Tevi and Greg as they break down the U.S. bombings of three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, the possible responses from Iran and the Trump administration's various comments about regime change, and the weird leftist condemnations of the strikes.First, they highlight the exceptional performance of the B-2 Bomber pilots, the lengthy and complex mission, and the airtight operational security, which may have been achieved by not telling any Democrats about the mission until after it happened. They also highlight how President Trump deftly pushed for a diplomatic solution, ramped up the tough talk, seemed to grant a two-week reprieve and then successfully surprises everyone with the timing of the strikes.Next, they contemplate what will come next - both from Iran and the United States. Will Iran close the Straits of Hormuz, focus on U.S. military bases in the region like today in Qatar, unleash sleeper cells in the U.S., or prioritize cyberterrorism? They also weigh in on Vice President Vance saying the U.S. does not have a goal of regime change in Iran while Trump openly suggests it on social media.Finally, they react to some of the most unhinged reactions to the bombings in Iran. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks Trump's actions are impeachable. Obama administration figure Tommy Vietor says any deadly response from Iran will be because we started it. And even the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office condemned the bombings.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

Nine people are facing felony charges in connection to residential burglaries in the cities of Pacific Palisades and Altadena, and a separate defendant has been charged with arson for intentionally starting a fire in the city of Azusa. “These crimes are appalling and represent a direct attack on our community during a time of unprecedented loss and vulnerability,” District Attorney Hochman said. “Let me be clear: If you exploit this tragedy to prey on victims of these deadly fires, we will find you and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.” The felony charges were the result of a multi-agency collaboration that underscores the strength of local, state, and federal partnerships. Law enforcement agencies, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department; Los Angeles Police Department; Los Angeles County Fire Arson Unit; U.S. Attorney's Office; Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) collaborated closely with the District Attorney's Office to bring these suspects to justice. And Sheriff Robert Luna talks to Dr. Phil about his request for additional National Guard members to help his team. Looting and theft remain a top concern for the sheriff's department as well as online scams. Plus a man who says thanks to strangers his home in Altadena was saved.
