Paramedics vividly recounted the harrowing scene after the lifeless body of John O'Keefe was discovered at 34 Fairview in Karen Read Trail. In a separate startling incident, a naked inmate caused quite a stir at the Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles County, leaving everyone bewildered. Meanwhile, a remarkable twist in a decades-long mystery has emerged: 82-year-old Audrey Backeberg, who vanished without a trace in July 1962 at just 20 years old, has finally been found living out of state. However, the sheriff's office has chosen to keep the exact location under wraps, adding an air of intrigue to her unexpected return.

The Beast Of Brigstock & The Strange Mystery of a Missing Man

So The incident that I am going to discuss took place on what was probably the last Saturday in November of 2022. It took place in Spring wood which is about two miles from Brigstock, a village about 4 miles south east from Corby Northamptonshire. On that day a local shoot were moving through Spring wood on what was their last but one drive of the day. The time was around 2.00 pm to 3.00pm. They had just finished the drive and one shot bird had not been retrieved. And so an individual who was just a beater for the day went back through the wood with his dog to find the bird. This should have taken ten minutes or so given that his dog was a trained gun dog. The individual did not return. So he was in his sixties and was an experienced shooting man. Why he did not have a gun that day I don't know. So somebody went to look for him and could not find him. There is a release pen in the wood and the gate is always closed. When the searcher arrived at the gate it was open. He entered the pen and searched to no avail. He reported back to the other members and the shoot was terminated.A more intensive search ensued, again drawing a blank. and so the police were called. By 6 pm they were treating him as missing and enquiries were being made in the local area. Also two Facebook pages went up on the internet, one by the gentleman's family asking if anyone knew of his whereabouts and one was posted by Northamptonshire Police along the same lines. By 8 00pm there was a police presence on the outside of the wood along with the remaining shoot members whom I believe were told to remain at the site.At no time during the entire night was any attempt by the police made to search for the man. Both the Facebook postings had been removed by 9 00pm that night.By around 11 00am the following day Sunday, Paramedics were in attendance in the field to the roadside of Spring wood that's the Brigstock to Lower Benefield road. The man was either dead onsite or died in hospital.I was told in a cryptic way that he had been found with some kind of lacerations and around three weeks later I found large prints outside my mobile home. There had been a period of rainfall and the track next to my van was like slurry. That night there was a sharp frost and when I went out in the morning the first thing I saw were the prints. They were not there the day before. They were very clear and measured 4 1/2 inches x 3 inches. I took photos and measured them with the tape in the photos. I showed them to interested parties who said that they were dog prints. The thing is there are no claw marks showing as you would expect from a dog. I measured the distance between two of the prints and the distance was 27 inches. I live in a remote site which as the crow flies is approximately 15 miles from Brigstock the site of the incident. This incident never made the news. If the man had suffered a health issue and died there would have been some local coverage. If he had been involved in a shooting accident it would have received coverage. No reference to what happened to his dog has ever been made. It's possible that it went for his dog and he intervened to his cost or maybe it just went for him. To this day residents in Brigstock know nothing about the events of that night. What ever happened to this man was shut down and supressed by the authorities.During the following 20 yrs there have been many sightings of a large cat along the road from Brigstock to Lower Benefield. Not long before the man died there was a sighting of it in Spring Wood and once again it was a close encounter with a big cat from only a few metres away. Pug marks have also been found over the years.“One local man stated there were upwards of 30 officers out that night and the man was found in an area that could have been easily searched, meaning he was out there all night and into the next day before he was found. The woodland is very small, so he and I have no idea how it was even possible to go missing there. Other than the police presence you wouldn't have known anything was happening. The police did a house to house check to see if anyone had seen him but nobody had. And nobody knows what happened to his dog?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/deborah-hatswell-bbr-investigations-cryptids-paranormal-unexplained-events--2840337/support.

Unlike your kids or your dogs, when you call them, they come! I am talking about the 1000+ men and women who make up the Anne Arundel County Fire Department! Sure, the department is an arm of the County Government, but the IAFF Local 1563 is the Union that collectively bargains for their pay and benefits, makes sure that they are staffed safely, and they are getting the support they need. After all, they see some pretty horrid things in the course of their duty! Today, we speak with Joe Addivinola, the long-time President of IAFF Local 1563, to see how the union plays a role. And, it is a lot larger than I imagined! From literacy campaigns to coat drives, our Firefighters, EMTs, and Paramedics go all out for the community when they are not working that 24 on 3 off shift! Did you know that the Union owns a four-story building in Millersville? Did you know there is a huge banquet room that can be rented out? Did you know they are a nonprofit, and you can donate directly to support their work? Me either! Joe even lets us know his thoughts about Anne Arundel County Executive Pittman! This was a VERY enlightening conversation and some insight into the men and women who put the wet stuff on the red stuff! Have a listen!

Ready for the latest insights in prehospital care? In this episode, we're diving into an eye opening question in emergency medicine: could giving just a single dose of epinephrine during cardiac arrest be more effective than the standard approach? This topic isn't just about changing a drug protocol—it challenges the way we think about resuscitation itself. We're spotlighting a new study that's sparking important conversations in the field, and it's part of a broader theme in the latest issue of Prehospital Emergency Care, which also features articles on pediatric emergencies, compelling case studies, and new insights into cardiac arrest care.

His patients weren't getting better; in fact, they were getting worse. After driving the same people to the hospital repeatedly, and watching most of them get sicker or die, he left Paramedics and went into personal training.After working with hundreds of clients, he realized that the common denominator for his clients' health issues, including skin issues, brittle hair, hormones, weight loss resistance, etc., was related to nutrition, gut health and stress. Josh went back to school and became a Holistic Nutritionist and specialized in gut health.He had numerous clients who were getting relief, but he quickly realized the extent of digestive issues with his clients who were living confined to their houses, with up to 50 bowel movements a day, crippling pain and brain fog, who were afraid to leave their house for fear of having accidents.

Will AI help us or improve patient care? Will humans be needed at all?Can AI replicate your gestalt? Is our gestalt worth trusting normally anyway?Why do we see so many paramedics using the career as a steppingstone to other careers, I certainly viewed it this way when I was a paramedicEddie talks about starting in EMS because he knew it was the right thing to do. It feels like that is getting lost due to the softening of medicine. Becoming a paramedic was harder, the barrier to entry was harder. Have we lost our pride in this being a career rather than a job?I remember having a lot of accountability from my peers when I was a new paramedic. I had some level of fear that I would be criticized by other crews and physicians if I didn't perform wellIs part of the difference a lack of feedback from peers and physicians?Has EMS gotten too soft?Casey wonders if we are not putting enough emphasis on accountability to our peers because of fear of offending peopleWe talk about how much fear there used to be of the medical directors. But the environment has changed positively in a lot of ways as we learn and grow from mistakes more than getting punished for themWe talk about being a new EMT, being cockyWhere are the people that want to stay as a paramedic as a career? Not everyone is cut out to make it a long-term careerSome people get stuck in EMS, Eddie and Casey were more intentional about choosing it as their lifeFor some people it's a job, for some it's a lifeHow we present ourselves to the patient is important, we have limited time to make an impression and gain their trustEMS has had periods where different services have just needed “butts in seats” and maybe this led to decreased expectations   Support the showFull show notes can be found here: Episodes - Practical EMS - Content for EMTs, PAs, ParamedicsMost efficient online EKG course here: Practical EKG Interpretation - Practical EMS earn 4 CME and learn the fundamentals through advanced EKG interpretation in under 4 hours.

If it's dark or strange, and it's fiction, it's fair game. Tonight it's a story I found just a few days ago at Creepypasta.com called “The Doctor” by a talented new horror author who goes by the moniker TechniGoth (link below). Paramedics are trained to face life and death with calm precision, but what about the unseen forces lurking in the spaces between? In an abandoned hospital nestled deep in the woods, one rookie EMT learns the truth about the profession's superstitions. Some say the dead don't clock out, and tonight, she'll discover just how true that is. This is a bit different than most stories I narrate, as the protagonist is a female – but rather than try to put on a false voice for her, I'll just use my normal speaking voice for her character. I'm sure that will be the less-annoying way to go. But I'll still try to create different voices for the rest of the characters as I come to them.SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Doctor” by TechniGoth: http://youtube.com/@TechnigothAuthor website: https://elizabethbottoni.substack.com/p/the-doctorWeird Darkness post for this episode: https://weirddarkness.com/TheDoctor=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

A defendant from the Sunshine State faces a near two-decade incarceration for slaying his grandfather. On Monday, 24-year-old Joshua Nareau pleaded no contest to second-degree murder in the death of his grandfather, 71-year-old James S. Khoury. Circuit Judge Shannon H. McFee sentenced Nareau to 246 years in prison, which works out to 20 1/2 years, with credit for time served, court records show. At his grandfather's funeral, Nareau spoke as if he wasn't the one responsible for his grandfather's death. He took the microphone at the podium and took a deep breath. “Jim, I called him Grampy, by blood he was my grandfather, as a person he was my father. He helped raise me. He made me the person I am today,” he said to the crowd of mourners. “You are all here because you knew and loved my grandfather and I thank you so much for that. My goal in life is to be as good as this man was. He helped everyone in this room in some way and I know that.” Khoury was a beloved deacon at the First Baptist Church of North Port. On Dec. 28, 2023 at 5 a.m., Khoury's wife called 911 to say her husband had been shot. Deputies arrived to find Khoury in front of his home, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. He had a gun holstered to his hip. His lunch box lay next to him. Paramedics arrived and pronounced Khoury dead. While deputies searched the scene, they saw Nareau sitting in the grass beside the home. Nareau told deputies his grandmother called him after the shooting and he rushed from his home which is a few hundred yards away, according to a probable cause arrest affidavit. Khoury's wife in an interview with detectives said she gave her husband a kiss before he walked out the door. Seconds after he walked outside, she heard a gunshot and her husband called out for her. She ran out and heard him fall. She saw a gunshot wound to his chest and “knew he was dead,” the affidavit said. Fearing for her safety, she rushed back inside and called 911. She mentioned to deputies her husband told her the day before that he heard a gunshot while driving to work but did not notice anything else out of the ordinary. She said she called Nareau after the shooting. Nareau told deputies he was in bed when his grandmother called him and he quickly dressed and ran over. He also said she told him there may be a sniper outside. Detectives noted in the affidavit that Khoury's wife never mentioned anything about a sniper. He also allegedly said he did not hear any shots or see anyone else in the area. Investigators later found a projectile in a large pine tree which suggested the shooter was on the south side of the home. It's also the location where Nareau would have come from to get to his grandparents' house, deputies said. A download of Nareau's phone showed his grandma had indeed called him after the shooting. But data also showed that he had walked several hundred meters around the time of the shooting, which is roughly the distance to his grandparent's residence and back, the affidavit said. The activity occurred when he told deputies he had been in bed and before his grandma called him. Detectives confronted Nareau about this, but he again claimed he was in bed and “didn't know” why the cellphone data would say otherwise, according to the affidavit. An analysis of the projectile found in the tree showed it could have come from a “Savage” bolt-action rifle that Nareau owns. On Feb. 14, the lab results confirmed the projectile came from Nareau's rifle, the affidavit said. Detectives did not give a motive for the shooting. “I am glad to finally be able to bring an update to you on this terrible incident. As you can see, even though we were not able to share much with you, my detectives and forensics team did a great job and we had a direction for the investigation and ultimately got the person responsible,” Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummell said in a statement. “This does not make it any easier for the family of the victim, who now have even more grief to cope with, but I hope it brings peace of mind to the community once more. Please pray for Mr. Khoury's family as they navigate this unthinkable situation.” Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

* Israel kills 17 more Palestinians in overnight strikes in Gaza Overnight air strikes by Israel in Gaza have claimed at least 17 Palestinian lives, intensifying the conflict. Strikes in Bureij camp, Shujaiya neighbourhood, and Khan Younis left dozens wounded, according to medical sources. Paramedics recovered bodies amidst ongoing devastation in Nuseirat and Gaza City. Israel's new wave of lethal attacks adds to the staggering toll of over 46,000 Palestinians killed during the 463-day war. * Israel, US, UK launch first joint attack on Houthis Israel, the US and the UK conducted their first joint air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. Coordinated strikes targeted military infrastructure in Sanaa and Hudaida, including a key power station. The joint offensive was in response to Houthi attacks on Israeli and US targets in solidarity with Palestinians. Israeli military confirmed its involvement, stating that the strikes aimed to disrupt Houthi military capabilities. * Stampede at Damascus mosque kills four, injures many A stampede at the historic Umayyad Mosque in Damascus left four dead and 16 wounded, including five children with severe injuries, according to Syrian state news agency SANA. Authorities are investigating the cause, with Governor Maher Marwan pledging accountability and swift action to prevent future incidents in public spaces. The civil defence described the scene as chaotic, emphasizing the urgent need for enhanced safety measures in high-traffic areas. * Trump readies shock-and-awe start with sweeping executive orders In a private Capitol Hill meeting, US president-elect Donald Trump promised a “shock-and-awe” start to his presidency, with over 100 executive orders targeting border security, deportations and energy policy. Set to roll out on January 20, the sweeping measures include completing the border wall and deporting over a million migrants deemed ineligible. Top adviser Stephen Miller emphasised immediate enforcement, signaling a dramatic pivot. Republican senators brace for an unprecedented surge of executive power, bypassing Congress to reshape key policies. * Musk says all human knowledge for AI training already 'exhausted' Elon Musk warns we've hit “peak data” for AI. Speaking in a livestream, Musk claimed humanity's knowledge has been nearly exhausted in AI training, pushing tech firms toward "synthetic" data for self-learning models. However he noted that the challenge lies in AI's tendency for “hallucinations” – producing unreliable outputs. Experts like Andrew Duncan caution against overreliance on synthetic data, citing risks of "model collapse" and diminishing returns.

On Wednesday night, Democratic presidential candidate sat down for a solo interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle. While appearing on HBO's Real Time recently, Ruhle revealed she'll be voting for Harris and believes Donald Trump is unfit to serve. Despite the friendly questions, Harris struggled throughout—at one point bizarrely repeating the term “holistically.” How bad was Harris's performance? Even The New York Times accused her of having “round about answers to open-ended questions” and concluded that she is yet to partake in a hard-hitting interview. 4:15pm- Dave McCormick— Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania & former Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs during the George W.

Haley Strack of National Review reports: “Republicans on the House Oversight Committee launched an investigation on Wednesday to determine if the Biden administration misused taxpayer dollars to fly Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the U.S. to benefit Kamala Harris's presidential campaign. In letters to top Biden administration officials, committee chairman James Comer wrote that then-president Donald Trump faced similar accusations from Democrats in 2019 of trying to use Zelensky to benefit his campaign ‘despite a lack of any evidence of wrongdoing. Now, the Biden-Harris Administration is flying the same foreign leader on an American-taxpayer-funded flight to Pennsylvania, a battleground state for Harris's campaign,' Comer wrote.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/house-investigating-if-zelensky-trip-scheduled-to-benefit-kamala-harris-campaign/ The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- Kamala Harris Stumbles Through Friendly Interview with MSNBC. On Wednesday night, Democratic presidential candidate sat down for a solo interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle. While appearing on HBO's Real Time recently, Ruhle revealed she'll be voting for Harris and believes Donald Trump is unfit to serve. Despite the friendly questions, Harris struggled throughout—at one point bizarrely repeating the term “holistically.” How bad was Harris's performance? Even The New York Times accused her of having “round about answers to open-ended questions” and concluded that she is yet to partake in a hard-hitting interview. 4:15pm- Dave McCormick— Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania & former Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs during the George W.
