John Cono DeSarli Jr. is a predator caught in a Polk County, Florida investigation. He is notable for being obviously high during his interview, and for claiming that he only showed up to prove to the police that he knew it was a sting because of his dark web and tech knowledge.  DeSarli Jr. began communicating with a decoy posing as a fourteen-year-old girl. The decoy was run by the Polk County Sheriff's Office as part of its Operation Cyber Guardian II.  John DeSarli Jr. arrived at the hotel used for the sting in his company van and with a shirt draped over his head just minutes after John Hunter was arrested, Hunter needing to be ducked into a nearby room. DeSarli initially did not comply with officer's orders to get on the ground until his leg was kicked and he was forced to. A deputy accidentally kicked him in the head. Chris Hansen described DeSarli as "combative and smug from the start."  He was brought to the Polk County Jail and later interviewed by Chris, who described the interview as "one of the most shocking, surprising, and frustrating conversations I've ever had."

The decoy was un by the Polk County Sheriff's Office as a part of its Operation Cyber Guardian II. Initially, he was in contact with the decoy's mother via Adult FriendFinder. He asked the mother how old the daughter was and, after being told fourteen, he asked if he would be having sex with both the mother and the daughter. He asked for a picture of the daughter as well as her phone number to begin talking to her directly. He told the daughter that he was not interested in her due to her age. However, after the decoy asked if Diaz wanted to have sex with her, he told the decoy, "if you're[sic] mother is ok then I guess it's ok."  Juanmiguel Diaz was arrested after he arrived to the hotel where the sting was planned, taken to the police station, and placed in a room to be interviewed by Chris.

Branden Keith Orr is an alleged predator caught in a Polk County, Florida investigation of Takedown with Chris Hansen. Known for working as a lifeguard at Disney World and giving ghost tours, Orr became infamous for fleeing the sting house and being tased by deputies in the yard. As part of Operation Cyber Guardian, the Polk County Sheriff's Office set up a sting house and was “bombarded” with men attempting to meet minors for sex. Orr was one of them, engaging in an explicit chat with a decoy posing as a 14-year-old girl. He quickly escalated the conversation, suggesting they watch a movie, cuddle, make out, and have sex—promising to bring a condom. When the decoy asked if sex would hurt, he replied, “It's not going to hurt for me.” After a 45-minute drive, Orr parked, briefly left, then returned and approached the house—only to suddenly flee. Deputies chased him around the yard and tased him before arresting him. A condom was found in his back pocket. Once detained, he was brought back inside, where Chris interviewed him while officers searched him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Constable Johnnie Raymond “Bill” Garsee was shot dead in front of his Moscow, Texas barn in April of 1984. Originally from San Augustine, Bill, his wife, and three children had settled down in the small town three decades before. Being a huge name on the rodeo circuit in a rodeo town like Moscow, locals warmly welcomed Bill and his family. As the years went on, he became Precinct 3 Constable and garnered the respect and friendship of everyone. So, when he was gunned down in cold-blood as a 61-year-old man in 1984, the Polk County Sheriff's Office was left baffled. They had theories but could get none to stick.If you have any information about the murder of Johnnie Raymond “Bill” Garsee, please contact the Polk County Sheriff's Office at (936) 327-6810.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.Search @gonecoldpodcast at all or just click linknbio.com/gonecoldpodcastSources: The Light and Champion, The Polk County Enterprise, The Tyler Morning Telegraph, and The Fort Worth Star-Telegram. #JusticeForBillGarsee #MoscowTX #PolkCountyTX #Texas #TX #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #Unsolved #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #UnsolvedMysteries #TrueCrime #Disappeared #Vanished #MissingPerson #Missing #Homicide #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCase #CrimeStories #PodcastRecommendations #SerialKiller #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimeJunkie #MysteryPodcast #TrueCrimeObsessed #CrimeDocs #InvestigationDiscovery #PodcastAddict #TrueCrimeFan #CriminalJustice #ForensicFiles #TrueCrimeAddict #TrueCrimeLovers #CrimeScene #PodcastLifeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

The couple met at church and proceeded to have a little girl together. At the time of our story, that little girl, who has not been named by the police, was 3-years-old, and Arhonda was already pregnant again. On Tuesday, May 10th, 2022, deputies with the Polk County Sheriff's Department, along with members of fire and rescue responded to a call at the couple's derelict home located at 6720 South Orange Blossom Trail.

Ring footage captured the chilling moment when 21-year-old pre-med student Emmanuel Espinoza concealed a knife behind his back before brutally stabbing his mother, Elvia Espinoza, over 70 times at her front door. The tragic event unfolded as Emmanuel was heading to a family gathering for his grandfather, when his mother asked him to stay with her at her residence two hours south of Orlando for the weekend. The disturbing video, timestamped around 2 p.m. on Saturday, shows Emmanuel approaching his mother's home dressed in casual attire, concealing something in his left hand, which was later revealed to be a knife. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd disclosed that Emmanuel, listening to Jay Z and Kanye West's “No Church In the Wild” on his approach, swiftly attacked his mother the moment she opened the door, stabbing her repeatedly in a meticulously planned assault. “He knocked on the door, and his beautiful mother was so excited to see her son. She opened the door,” Polk County Sheriff said as he played the footage during a press briefing. The Sheriff said that Espinoza charged into the house and started stabbing his mother the second the door was opened. He added that Espinoza told investigators he knew where to stab his mother for maximum effect because of his biology classes. “We have another audio that we're not going to play from the inside of the house, where [his mom is] screaming, ‘Manny, Manny, Manny' and he's not saying one word. He stabbed her in excess of 70 times,” Sheriff Judd said. “And as he was standing at the kitchen sink, washing himself off and the knife, he wanted to ask his mother for the Neosporin, for the cut on his hand. But he noticed she was dead.” Espinoza then called 911 and confessed to the murders. Sheriff Judd further revealed that Emmanuel harbored feelings of anger towards his mother for years, expressing a desire to kill her, which he finally acted upon. Despite his mother's pleas during the attack, Emmanuel remained silent, inflicting more wounds even as she attempted to rise from the floor.  Following the gruesome incident, Emmanuel dialed 911 and confessed to dispatchers, leading to his arrest and subsequent charge of first-degree murder. The community was left reeling from the tragedy, particularly as Elvia Espinoza was known as a beloved second-grade teacher at Frostproof Ben Hill Griffin Jr. Elementary School, cherished for her vibrant personality and love for her family. Emmanuel Espinoza made his first court appearance on April 7, with a bond set at $5,000 for destroying or tampering with evidence, and no bond granted for the charge of first-degree murder.

Join us this week on plan with the tax man as we explore some crucial steps to hopefully safeguard your financial well being against the growing tide of scams and identity theft. Look up in the sky. It's a bird.   Announcer 2  00:21 It's a plane. No, it's the tax man. He may not be a superhero, but Tony Morrow has saved many retirement plans with his extreme knowledge of tax planning strategies. It's time for a plan with the tax man.   Marc Killian  00:36 Hey, everybody, welcome into the podcast. It's playing with a tax man with Tony Morrow and myself here to talk about your financial fortress, practical strategies for retirees against scams and fraud. And for this month of March, I think Tony and I are going to kind of stay with tech as our theme. We're going to talk about some scams and stuff. This week, we're going to talk about some other technological, you know, retirement planning things on our next episode. So we're gonna kind of use that as our theme this month in March. What's going on my friend, how are you?   Tony Mauro  01:03 I'm doing well. How   Marc Killian  01:04 about you hanging in there? You and I were talking offline, as we got started that it's just you know, it's March already. And   Tony Mauro  01:10 we're busy, busy, busy, busy. And I thought these two topics that we're going to talk about in these next couple episodes be? Yeah, like I said, very, very timely, it's tax season. There's   Marc Killian  01:19 all kinds of things going on. Yes, sir. You're hear a lot from clients. So yeah, looking forward to sending information back and forth doing this, you know, the scammers they love to come out in force at different times of the year, certainly around Christmas, right. That's a good one springtime tax time, right? They tend to kind of come out there, oh, you, you know you, your tax bill is this or, you know, you owe this and use your tax, you know, return to pay for it, all these kinds of things. Right? always something going on. So let's jump in and talk about a few things. And, you know, I got this first a little news example here, Tony, that I wanted you to kind of listen to this and check this out. And then tell me things that you've seen similarly or heard, you know, within your own practice, right. So there was this news example, little synopsis here is the lady named Marjorie 77 years old, lost $660,000 to a Tech Support Scam, where the fraudsters posed as bank officials and somehow convinced her to wire her funds into crypto to protect her money from suppose a theft. Well, of course, they stole their money. Americans over 60 lost $3 billion last year in cyber fraud crazy, absolutely   Tony Mauro  02:30 crazy. It really is. And I think to elaborate on it, you know, most of the time the seniors tend to be the bigger targets but it can happen to anybody. And with all this tech going on and really sitting behind computers and phones all day it comes at us and you know we were just talking about how busy we are and sometimes you you're busy and you're not paying attention and you just go with it and then some potentially could happen the worst case I've seen in our own practice is we had a an elderly lady several years back just that she just uh you know, annual tax climb but she came in and she had said that she had gotten calls from somebody saying that they needed money they were pretending to be somebody she knew and they wanted paid in some kind of visa gift cards. Yeah, she kept going Yeah, going to Walgreens and getting visa gift cards anyway, at the end of it all before she found this out she was out about $11,000 and this poor lady you know, didn't have much to begin with and just a sad case and that is what is going on leading to these huge numbers is stuff like that people are getting our clients are getting robo calls and scam calls from people pretending to be the IRS and the IRS comes out and says they never will call you exactly always a letter Yep. And you know don't fall for it but people people do sir you know and it's it's all over I just had a call actually wasn't a call was an email yesterday directly to me saying that the person's name and says I need access to my portal please help. I looked her up on our system. She's not even a client of ours. I you know, that's a scam email coming in? Oh, wow. directly to me. Yeah, as a business not just individuals, but businesses to businesses, we you know, we clients don't realize it, but how much we spend dollar wise, and, and also timewise and trying to protect their data, because it's all out on portals. Now, you know, all this tax data, we got to be very careful with and it's difficult. But I think from a large, big picture view, you've really got to pay attention to what you're reading. And we'll get to some some more examples here in a second, but it's terrible. And I think it's only gonna get worse because we are getting into a society where we're not even using real money a lot of times anymore, you know, it's all it's all transfers and EFTPS and credit cards.   Marc Killian  04:53 Yeah, exactly. And that we're gonna Yeah, that's a great point because like with your credit card, or excuse me your gift card comment where Gotta run through some of this stuff, right? So let's go, let's kind of break some of these things down for folks and give some examples. We'll put a link into the show notes as well, that gives kind of more examples of some of the things from Thompson's routers, article from Thomson Reuters on there, that might give a few more ideas for people to look through as well. But, you know, so there's, we've, a lot of us have heard of phishing, right? We know about phishing emails. So there's phishing vishing. So that's phishing with a V. And smishing. This is hilarious how we make up these words, right? Yeah. But anyway, so let's, let's run through those three real fast. So phishing, of course, we just mentioned, you just talked about it yourself, emails and websites trying to steal your data. That's one, right. So be Be diligent there, I think we've gotten a lot better about those. But, you know, again, keep your head on the swivel, exactly,   Tony Mauro  05:44 because I mean, emails are coming at us so fast, that again, a lot of times, we're not reading them, and we're just flying through them very easily to be deceived, I would definitely check out you know, the headers of your email, make sure it's coming from somewhere you kind of recognize that's, that's the big one. And even   Marc Killian  06:02 with that, Tony, I would say be still be very careful, right? Because we're seeing these kinds of scams. We've talked about this a little while back, where, you know, you get an email from Amazon, for example, since it's so massive, and everyone uses it and says, there's a problem with your order, click here to sort it out, or we'll help you get it taken care of, don't do that. I don't care if it you know, if it says Amazon, and it looks like their logo and everything looks fantastic. Immediately just delete the email, and then log in to your personal web, you know, Amazon account, go on the web, whatever, you know, you go there versus a link, they provided you to go there, right. And that way, you're going directly to the horse's mouth to see if there's an issue nine times out of 10, there isn't one, it's just someone trying to scam you. So definitely be careful there. What's vishing, Tony, or   Tony Mauro  06:48 visiting is if you actually get a call. And a lot of times these will come in through your cell phone, because everybody's using the cell phones, and they're trying to trick you into providing personal information. And they're very good at it, you know, and most of the time, I mean, the easiest way to do this is, if you don't recognize him, I would probably just hang up, it would be my best advice. If it's somebody you know, or somebody that really needed your personal information, they're either going to call back, or they're going to get it some other way. But this is where I think my dad's got a lot of these calls. He's a senior, he gets them at home a lot on his landline. And they're asking him for his information. They're pretending to be either a credit card company, or somebody soliciting and they're asking him for his course, they know his name, but they want his address. Sometimes they'll ask for credit card information. Some of them have even asked him for his social security number. Yeah. Obviously, you do not want to give that stuff out. No bank information, do not give that out nothing. And   Marc Killian  07:42 they try some of that stuff to this is the IRS calling or that kind of stuff, right? And it's just that's not the case, right? They're gonna send you certain certified letters, they're gonna send you appropriate things of that nature. So smishing is also cell phones. This is just through text. And that's obviously the big one now too, right? Because it's like, again, it could even be the Amazon thing. There's a text from Amazon saying, there's a problem with your order, click this link to sort it out. You know, yeah,   Tony Mauro  08:07 I just, I just had one of these yesterday, I pulled it up on my phone to for this call. It was from a person, I get a text that says, Hi, my dear friend, it's been a long time since I've heard from you. Have you been? I have no idea who this this number is. So I texted them back said who is this? And she said, It's Diana. And you saved my number. And I said, I think you have the wrong number. And then she started asking me questions about my personal information. And that's like, why do you need this? I was playing with her a little bit, and finally got her to just stop. But I think she was fishing for some personal information from me pretending to be an old friend. And oh, yeah. And that that's just a little bit too fishy, you know? Exactly.   Marc Killian  08:49 No pun intended, right? Yeah.   Tony Mauro  08:51 It's just so you gotta watch it because they will, you know, they will. I've seen clients bring stuff in with text, pretending to be credit card companies. Again, your your card has been declined at least call or at least provide information. Things like that. Haven't seen too many from the IRS, the IRS scammers usually call or send emails, but it's probably possible that they could start data again, the IRS doesn't text at all, they're very old fashioned with their communication. So you know, be be careful with that, too. So there's three three areas you got to be careful of. Yeah, exactly. They are just crazy. And what's at stake, right, Tony is obviously identity theft, financial loss, credit damage, motional stress, right?   Marc Killian  09:31 So the obvious kinds of things. So let's provide a couple of examples here. And I said, um, as I mentioned, we'll put the link in here to the Thomson readers that give some more details on each of these. But let's run through kind of a few bullet points of the styles of scams that are going around government imposters big one right? Because people get immediately scared Oh crap, I gotta take care of this. It's the government you know, and often that's what they're they're preying on that and praying for you to also be like, just scared and immediately do Whatever, because you don't want to, you know, have some sort of government problem. Yeah, we   Tony Mauro  10:03 haven't we have a commercial here, for example, from the Polk County Sheriff, saying that, you know, we will don't fall victim to scams that somebody calls you from the sheriff's office demanding money or you're going to jail, you know, that, that kind of thing. So they're, you know, they're, what do you want to call it? In an authority figure? Yeah. And that scares people, just like the government. And so they actually are taking their time and money to run commercials, because it's going on around here right now that people are getting scammed like that. And police would be another one,   Marc Killian  10:35 I would say, yeah, right. We've seen those kinds of things to where if you don't pay this amount, sheriff's department's on his way out to lock your house to lock you out, you know, for some sort of, and that's like, that's all crap, right? Don't fall for that stuff. They do not do that you're going to certainly be properly notified through certified mail. You know, so don't fall for that governmental imposed imposters, sweepstakes. I don't know if I see these as much anymore. But certainly like, hey, you've won something kind of thing.   Tony Mauro  10:59 I haven't seen a lot of people complaining about this. But you could see how this would work. I mean, you know, somebody calls says you want something and oh, by the way, give us all your information and your credit card to collect the prize or something you've already won, which should send up red flags right away. But again, people especially maybe the you know, the elderly, or people that are alone, a little little more craving for some contact, and conversation. So gotta be careful there as well.   Marc Killian  11:25 Yeah. Computer Robo scams, you talked about that robo calls and phone scams, the robo calls. So this big one here, folks is and Tony, like, I know, you know this as well make sure that you don't say yes, you know, when you get these phone calls, where they're like, Hi, this is such and such, you know, blah, blah, blah, I'm having trouble hearing you. Can you hear me? And you go? Yes. And they record that? Yes. And now they plug that in to whatever automated thing where would you like to buy, you know, $5,000 worth of whatever. And they plug in your little voice saying yes. And therefore you're kind of screwed. So don't say yes, just say, I can hear you. Right or something like that.   Tony Mauro  12:02 That's right. I, my brother, again, I've got so many examples of this. But it's a robo call kind of phone scam, where the scammers are recording people's voices. And then they're using AI to create that voice in a conversation. And my brother had an insured who called him up, because he's trying to get basically wanting to know if there's any insurance coverage for this. But the client received a call that he swore was his son, it was his exact voice and everything saying he had been picked up, he was in jail, and he needed him to wire him $5,000. And the other guy did it. And it was a scam. And the guy was trying to see if he could get some insurance coverage. But insurance company said no way. Yeah. But this guy, I mean, he's not elderly. He swore it was his son. Now, he left a voicemail. And then you know, the father panicked a little bit saying, Well, I can't call him he's in jail. I'm going to I'm going to wire this money right now. And he did. So that's a that's an extreme example, but it does happen. And with his AI, if they hear me talk a little bit, they probably can somehow, you know, clone my voice and make make words up for   Marc Killian  13:15 Exactly. And that's kind of similar Tony to the grandparent scam, which is on my list. fairly similar. It's a loved one scam of some form, right? Where, to your point, you know, you get this message or an email saying, Hey, grandma, grandpa, it's, you know, Suzy, and they've got the information. And you know, I got in an accident, and I've got to pay $3,000 to for bail or you know, whatever. Right? Yeah. And people will jump to that. So don't do that. Don't worry about definitely don't go down that route. The computer tech support scams. We just talked about that for Lady Marjorie, who fell victim to that. Be very careful with tech support of any kind, they are hoping that seniors will be like, I don't understand this thing. So let me get some help. And again, don't go through any links or information that you've gotten via email or text. If you really are having a tech issue with your computer or a specific app or software. Go directly to that company for tech support. Don't go through a link that some you know that you especially unsolicited link, right. Unsolicited links. Yeah, yeah. Okay. To your point about the grandparent scam, I'll actually or to you, excuse me, you're talking about that person that was messaging you and acting like they knew you. That's a new one to a romance scam.   Tony Mauro  14:28 Yeah, this very well. Could have been that, you know, I don't know, I didn't get that far with it. But yeah, you really don't know. You know, maybe they're trying to scam you. And again, with the ability of you think about it on the phones with a romance scam. What I'm thinking of is somebody send you maybe a provocative pic of whatever, and people are gonna say, Oh, well, you know, what's that? Let's take a look. And then all of a sudden you're in a conversation with somebody you don't even know. And you know, then all of a sudden you've given out some information you should know   Marc Killian  14:56 while they're playing. They're playing on the fact that they're hoping that you're lonely especially Yeah, because they can find out if you're widowed or something like that, right? Yeah, single person. So So those are some examples. And we'll give a few more things telling you this so we won't get too too long in the episode. Let's go through kind of rapid fire or some ways to better recognize the signs of the scam. I'll start with a simple one age old thing that grandma taught us a long time ago, if it's too good to be true, probably is.   Tony Mauro  15:21 Yeah. And I think another one I mean, I'll rapid fire the next one. You know, if you if you get links, and you start reading an email, you need to look at the link. I definitely wouldn't open attachments. That's a rule in business for us for sure. Eating on a personal pewter. That's how all this stuff creeps in.   Marc Killian  15:39 Yep. So be very careful about that. Does it look suspicious? Yeah, exactly. Is it we mentioned it a second ago. Is it unsolicited? You know, is you're getting some random thing, asking you for personal information or to solidify something that you may or may not have done, and you don't recall it. If you've sent solicited, then that's a good sign. Yeah.   Tony Mauro  15:59 I think another one with that is if you get an email, and it's the paragraphs don't make a lot of sense. Or wording. Oh, spelling error? Things like that. Yeah, definitely. Then look up top seat, you know, I   Marc Killian  16:13 mean, who does that that's a great point. Another one. A lot of scams originate from overseas in different countries. And so therefore, their wording or their their English translation may not give me that click right. Right. Something looks off, you're thinking? Well, it to your point earlier about the pictures or something like that, you're thinking, well, this person looks, you know, or says they're from Florida, for example, right. But yet the wording in the language tells you that maybe they're not, you know, or something like that. So that's great point, actually, are they requesting a small amount of money in order for you to get a bigger amount of money? This one? I think most people are wise to this, Tony, it makes me think about the one from since of anyone around the 90s. Right that that prints in Nigeria that will give you $40 million? If you you know, that was so old, but there's still things going like that going around.   Tony Mauro  16:59 They must on that. I don't see that very often anymore. But every once in a while I will. It's a must. Somebody must be doing that still. Exactly. Yeah. What else you got? Well, you know, one is, like I said before, you know, most legitimate companies aren't going to have you pay them in gift cards. Yeah. And so be very careful of that. Because just like my little story with my little tax client, I mean, that's almost for sure. A scam? Yeah. Just just don't do that.   Marc Killian  17:28 Yep. Okay, so let's, let's beyond like spotting those red flags. Let's talk about some protections, we'll wrap it up with some protections here to avoid being a scam victim. Obviously, in today's day and age, we're all sick to death of passwords. I get it. But it is the world we live in. So create some strong, unique passwords. And for God's sakes, folks, if it's financially related, please change them regularly.   Tony Mauro  17:51 Absolutely. I always encourage clients to get a password keeper that randomly generates passwords have different passwords for every site. Because if you have the keeper, you don't need to know that you just need to know your master. And, you know, I so many clients have the same password for every single site. We've all heard it. And then like you I hate them, too. I hate multifactor authentication, but it's the world we live in. And it'll certainly protect you a lot better than having, you know, your first and last name as your password. I mean, yeah, it doesn't take very long for hackers to break the hip stuff. Exactly.   Marc Killian  18:26 And I get it. We all hate it at this point. But you got to do it, man, especially when it comes to your financial stuff, monitor your bank statements and credit card transactions regularly, folks, we can probably tie these two here together, Tony, turn on those fraud alerts, right with your credit cards. I mean, every time I make a transaction, it's annoying to get that extra message. But so what you know, hey, you charge $47 Well, if I know that I did it, then I ignore the email. But if I say I charge $47 And I don't recall doing it, it allows me to think well let me go dig into this.   Tony Mauro  18:58 Yeah, I think if you don't have that on your credit cards with the tech that they have, and we'll offer you with that, that's just plain silly. And then I think we always tell our clients even personal clients, you need to be reconciling your bank statement and credit cards every month now many don't do it and that's when you're going to miss something that may be slipped through on that bank statement and you didn't know about because all you're doing is you know living off of the last ATM slip you got right you had this much money in your bank account. Yep. And that's how things go unnoticed in small amounts because the good the good ones with bank accounts they'll slip stuff in very small odd amounts so to hopefully go unnoticed yeah, great point Tony. Great point they're not big big dollar amounts and then next thing you know you've got 15 charges say from like a Google yeah of $12.50 over five months you know and that's how they do it and then once you catch on they   Marc Killian  19:52 move to the next Yeah, for sure. I just got one myself from from there's a I know there's a gaming service. I know it's a legitimate service. called Twitch, but I've never used it and there's no teenagers in my house. And all of a sudden, I had three random twitch $7 Not a big deal, you know, but I'm like, well, that's not I didn't do that. So of course, I immediately talked to the credit card company, and they got it reversed. So somebody gets your information. And yeah, to your point, they're hoping you will just be like, Oh, $7 Oh, I don't remember what that was and move on. And then it's, it's a reoccurring monthly charge? Well, you got three of them now 21 bucks a month, every month? Hey, you know, that adds up. So and if they're doing that to 100 people, well, they're making bank. So you got let me ask you is as a tax professional and a financial professional, Tony, what do you think about, you know, retirees, pre retirees, or really anybody freezing their credit, especially like, if you're set as a retiree or a pre retiree, if you're over 50, there's a good chance that you're not planning on opening any new lines of credit soon? If that's the case, is it worthwhile to freeze your credit,   Tony Mauro  20:52 I think depending on your situation, and the amount of money you have, I think it's, it's worth looking at, absolutely, because you're not gonna always unfreeze it, and you don't have any need to run out and get credit. And it's just gonna make make it that much harder for somebody to really get one over on you or, you know, get credit cards out there, it is a little bit more work to then go get some credit to unfreeze it. But again, you're not in any any real rush. So   Marc Killian  21:20 I think they've made this technology better, too, right? I think you can go on to your, to these credit rating places and just put a hole, put a freeze on it. And that basically just means nothing new can be opened under your name until you unfreeze it. And I don't think the steps are all that complicated now. So no, not like they used to be Oh, yeah. For sure. You know, just a couple little really extra steps logging in and, and Firefox and freezing it. Yeah. Yeah. So it could be worthwhile. It's a great way to protect yourself. So last piece, we'll wrap it up. I know, we're getting a little long here, folks, but just some digital housekeeping real quick. Keep your anti virus software up to date. That's a good one. What else? Tony?   Tony Mauro  21:57 I'd avoid using public Wi Fi, you know, especially definitely don't use it. And access to any type of bank info or any personal data. Yeah, you're gonna do that good point. Like, you probably   Marc Killian  22:07 have a public Wi Fi there at the office, you know, many doctors offices, lawyers, offices, so on and so forth. Right? They offer public Wi Fi while you're waiting, especially doctor's offices, right? Because you're there hours or whatever. And you want to jump on your phone and do something, well, fine. If you're using that. But keep that real basic. If you're jumping on to check your Twitter or something fine. Maybe right. But certainly don't go check. Don't go checking your bank, don't go into your banking app while you're on unsecured public Wi Fi. That's a that's a no, no, let's not do that. No, no. And then finally, you know, you talked about passcodes. And then we talked about passwords, well, make sure that you've got something on your phone that way too, right. Don't use your address as your passcode. You know, some people like to use their fingerprint, and that's fine, you know, or that design thing where you got to draw some weird pattern to unlock your phone, but just consider having secure your phone lock it up to   Tony Mauro  22:59 Yeah, even even now with the iPhone. The face ID is better than just know nothing at all. Yeah, the   Marc Killian  23:06 things would still weirds me out, though, right? I don't know how I feel about that. It's like,   Tony Mauro  23:12 I don't trust it.   Marc Killian  23:12 I don't need it. And then you got my face too. But of course, I guess at this point, everybody's posted pictures of themselves on Facebook at some points or faces or everywhere anyway. Yeah, interesting stuff. But you know, there's that two factor stuff, too, right. A lot of companies now are almost forcing you to do that. Yeah. So we make them for our payroll clients, you know, to get into their portals, we   Tony Mauro  23:32 have the two factor authentication. Yeah, for every every payroll, clients, employees, you know, and some employees really don't like it, but we tell them we're not shutting it off. Because if somebody gets in and changes your bank account information, you know, then that's going to be bad for you. And so it's for your own protection. So,   Marc Killian  23:51 definitely, well, you know, final summary folks, you know, there's a lot of scams out there. If you do think you're a victim immediately start calling the companies you need to talk to if you're working with a financial professional like Tony, for example, reach out to them and let them know so they can immediately take steps if you feel like your information has been compromised, of whatever level and of course if it's egregious enough for your concern, call the police. Whatever the case is, but take steps to protect yourself so Hopefully, this helps you out a little bit here on this episode, the financial fortress and Tony anything else where we go Oh, that's   Tony Mauro  24:22 it looking forward to next meeting.   Marc Killian  24:25 Yeah, yeah, I mean, we're gonna keep continue on with the tech stuff here again, because it is that time of year, tax season is upon us and the scammers do come out and for So protect yourself out there, folks.

Masturbation disagreement leads to murder at Florida homeless camp A murder suspect with an extensive wrap sheet was captured Wednesday after an 18-hour manhunt in Winter Haven, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

October 31, 1981. Wahneta, Florida. The mother of 13-year old Tina Marie Janose wakes up to discover that she is missing from their mobile home. That same morning, Tina Marie's body is found twelve miles away on Interstate 4 and it turns out she was abducted, sexually assaulted and murdered before the killer tossed her off a highway overpass. Over the years, James Norman Ulmer and Frank Potts, a pair of sex offenders who each wind up going to prison for other crimes, pop up on the radar as potential suspects in Tina Marie's murder. While there is compelling case to be made for Ulmer or Potts being the perpetrator, there is not enough evidence to conclusively implicate either of them and the crime is never solved. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the murder of Tina Marie Janose, a horrifying cold case which took place on Halloween 42 years ago. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Polk County Sheriff's Office at (863) 298-6200.

Folks, kids are having a really hard time, and a lot of it has to do with what's happening on the internet. Some lawmakers appear to be trying to do the right thing, but it seems like all they're really capable of doing is introducing legislation – legislation that doesn't get anywhere.   The CDC released a report Monday finding teens, especially girls, are in a bad place right now with some 57% of the 17,000 high school girls surveyed persistently feeling bad or hopeless. Some twenty percent of these girls report experiencing sexual violence. And a third of boys also report feeling persistently sad or depressed.   One young person in Washington State is working to get a bill passed to protect images their parents shared on parenting blogs that went viral. And here in DC, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard brutal testimony from victims of addiction, cyberbullying, sexual abuse, and suicides spurred by social media and the internet.    Committee Chair Dick Durbin notes that we often warn kids about strangers in public, but obv iously aren't doing enough to protect kids. So Senate Democrats introduced legislation on Monday, the Clean Slate for Kids Online Act,  that would give kids the ability to have content removed that depicts them before they turned 13.   Another bill, the EARN IT Act, which would establish a National Commission on Online Child Sexual Exploitation Prevention, has been floundering in Congress since 2020.   On the House side, the Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan subpoenaed Google, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft for documents regarding their content moderation practices. The House is currently investigating the platforms for harboring anti-conservative bias. —   Down in Florida, Polk County arrested 200, charging 89 of them with soliciting a prostitute, after a week-long investigation. 111 of the suspects were arrested for prostitution, of which 24 actually turned out to be human trafficking victims.   Separately, the U.S. denied a tourist visa to a UK-based VRChat user who goes by the name of “Hex.” She does sex shows on the platform. The reason for the passport denial? Prostitution.   —- Don't be surprised if the healthcare platforms you rely on are selling your information to marketers. The only privacy bill specifically for healthcare is the Health Insurance Privacy & Portability Act (HIPPA), which contains no provisions regarding your health data in the U.S.    An anonymous plaintiff filed a class action lawsuit in Loa Angeles this week alleging Microsoft Bing, Google, and Meta rec  eived data from Cedars-Sinai Health System and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center via a tracking code. And a new Duke study found data brokers can sell lists containing personally-identifiable information on thousands of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and OCD patients.   –   Bao Fan has disappeared in China. The American-educated and outspoken billionaire investment banker has stakes in massive Chinese companies like Alibaba & Tencent. Chinese president Xi Jinping, as Daisuke Wakabayashi of the New York Times reports, has been cracking down on business titans there. Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma disappeared from public view as well back in 2020 for being too vocal about China's fiscal policies. As were several other prominent Chinese billionaires, one of which, Xiao Jianhua, who was born in China, was arrested at the Hong Kong Four Seasons and got 13 years in the slammer for embezzlement and bribery.    —-   Elon Musk says he'll eventually step down as Twitter CEO once he gets the company financially stable – he's aiming for the end of this year. Earlier this week, Casey Newton reported on Platformer that Musk was forcing engineers – firing one of them – for not getting Musk's content to the top of the feed. Musk responded with a meme of a woman force-feeding another woman from a bottle of milk. Then he claimed that Newton's source was a disgruntled former employee.   Also, Twitter is allowing weed advertisers on the platform now. Musk was high last year when he announced plans to acquire the company.   Also,   Podcaster Joe Rogan got deepaked by someone – they made him look like he was endorsing a testosterone supplement.   Voice Actors are calling folks out for using their voices to create AI models without their consent   Microsoft's Chatbot has gone haywire, telling one reporter to leave his wife.   And the EU is investigating Amazon for acquiring iRobot To go deeper, you can find links to all of these stories in the show notes. Stay safe, stay informed, have a great week. Ciao.    Addiction, Suicide, Cyberbullies: Senate Confronts Kids' Online Horror At a hearing on Tuesday, congress heard from victims and experts about the horrific effects of social media creates on children, including cyberbullying, internet addiction, sexual abuse, and suicide.

October 13, 1982. Morro Bay, California. The decomposed body of 43-year old Dian Harlin is discovered in a stand of trees next to a beach and she has been strangled to death with a leash belonging to one of her dogs. It turns out that Dian's eccentric 47-year old husband, Hugh Harlin, had failed to report her missing for eleven days and since the couple was known for having a turbulent relationship, Hugh becomes a potential suspect in his wife's murder. Four years later, Hugh inexplicably vanishes without a trace after his abandoned pick-up truck is discovered by the side of the highway. Investigators are unable to determine if Hugh's disappearance is connected to Dian's murder, but both cases are never solved. May 3, 1992. Polk County, Florida. After attending a rodeo, 31-year old Larry Costine and his 26-year old girlfriend, Melissa Jo Sermons, return to Larry's mobile home. Larry's nude body is eventually discovered inside the trailer and since he was shot four times and Jo has gone missing, investigators initially suspect that Jo killed Larry and went on the run. However, two decades later, law enforcement announces that they now believe Jo was a victim and was murdered by the same person who shot Larry. While Jo's ex-boyfriend is considered to be the prime suspect, there is not enough evidence to charge him with the crime and Jo is never found. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we cover two unsolved mysteries in which one half of a couple was murdered while the other half went missing. If you have information on the Hugh & Dian Harlin case, please contact the Morro Bay Police Department at (805) 772-6225. If you have information on the Larry Costine & Melissa Jo Sermons case, please contact the Polk County Sheriff's Office at (863) 533-0344.

Two people in Florida were arrested after one of them made a 911 call to get help with moving their belongings from a home they were burglarizing, authorities said. Deputies responded to a home after a 911 call was made but nobody spoke, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said. At the home, the deputies concluded that nobody lived there, but they found a male suspect and his girlfriend inside the home after entering it through an unlocked door. Deputies had been searching for the male suspect after identifying him from security video as a burglar at a Dollar General store in Poinciana, Florida, where several items were stolen earlier in the day, the sheriff's office said in a statement. Poinciana is about 35 miles (55 kilometers) south of Orlando. While talking to deputies, the female suspect told them that she had called 911 for the purpose of having law enforcement help them move their belongings from the house they were burglarizing. They also wanted to get a ride to the airport so they could spend the weekend in New York, the sheriff's office said. “Deputies DID help them with their belongings, and DID give them a ride, but it wasn't to the airport … it was to the Polk Pokey,” the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post. “And they are welcome to stay there all weekend long. The Polk Pokey is much better than New York anyway.” The male suspect was charged with burglary and theft related to the store and also burglary of a residence. The female suspect was charged with burglary of a residence, according to the sheriff's office. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Authorities in Florida said that they were able to apprehend two individuals after one of them dialed 911 to request assistance in removing their possessions from a house that they were in the process of burglarizing. According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, deputies went to a residence on Saturday after a 911 call was placed there, but nobody answered the door. After arriving at the residence, the deputies determined that nobody resided there; nevertheless, after entering the property through an unlocked door, they discovered a male suspect and his girlfriend inside the residence.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, September 13th, 2022. I hope you all had a restful weekend with your loved ones, so without further adieu, let me remind you about our conference! FLF Conference Plug Do you like Jesus & beer? Then you and your family need to come to the Fight Laugh Feast Conference in Knoxville Tennessee, on October 6-8. The topic of this conference is Lies, Propaganda, storytelling, and the serrated edge. Satan is the father of lies, and the mother of those lies is a government that has rejected God. Christians haven’t been reading their Bibles, so we as a society are more susceptible than ever to satan and his lies. So join us, October 6-8, as we fight, laugh, and feast, with beer & psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, including Pastor Doug Wilson, George Gilder, and Pastor Toby Sumpter, and more… AND, stuff for the kids too, like jumpy castles, and accidental infant baptisms! Sign up to attend with you and yours, or become a vendor at fightlaughfeast.com. Alright, now let’s get to the news! https://reason.com/2022/09/12/americans-spent-more-on-taxes-last-year-than-on-food-health-care-education-and-clothing-combined/ Americans Spent More on Taxes Last Year Than on Food, Health Care, Education, and Clothing Combined Yikes. New consumer spending data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provides some sobering perspective on how much Americans are paying in taxes. The data covers consumer spending across a wide variety of categories in 2021. Overall, taxes accounted for about 25 percent of average consumer spending. The BLS measures spending per "consumer unit," which it describes as "either (1) all members of a particular household who are related by blood, marriage, adoption or other legal arrangements; (2) persons living alone or sharing a household with others or living as a roomer in a private home or lodging house or in a permanent living quarters in a hotel or motel, but who is financially independent; or (3) two or more person living together who use their income to make joint expenditure decisions." On average, each "consumer unit" paid more than $16,000 in taxes last year. This outpaces average spending on food, clothing, education, and health care combined. The mean for total spending per unit on health care, food, education, and clothing was $16,721.42. This included an average of $8,289.28 on food, $5,451.61 on health care, $1,226.14 on education, and $1,754.39 on apparel. The mean for total spending per unit on taxes was $16,729.73. This included $8,561.46 in federal income tax, $2,564.14 in state and local income taxes, $2,475.18 in property taxes, $5,565.45 in Social Security deductions, and $105.21 in other taxes, offset by an average stimulus payment of $2,541.71. In addition to this disturbing tidbit, the new BLS data contains a wealth of other information on American spending habits and offers an interesting glimpse at recovery—and inflation—during the second year of the coronavirus pandemic. The highest expenditure category was housing, at an average $22,623.55 per consumer unit (including property taxes). Major spending categories aside from housing, food, health care, education, and clothing included transportation ($10,961.18), utilities/fuels/public services ($4,223.49), entertainment ($3,567.89), household operations ($1,638.42), and personal care products and services ($770.51). A lot of numbers for you guys on that one… moving on: https://thepostmillennial.com/Sex-traffickers-nabbed-in-florida-sting-include-disney-employees-police-deputy?utm_campaign=64487 Sex traffickers nabbed in Florida sting include Disney employees, police deputy A Florida sex trafficking sting known as "Operation Fall Haul II" captured a 160 culprits this week with a list that included several Disney employees, a teacher, and Georgia Deputy Police Chief Jason DiPrima. According to local news, DiPrima was considered an up-and-comer in the Georgia force and Sheriff Grady Judd, who ran the sting, said, "If all else fails, he could write a book, 'How to Ruin Your Career in Three Easy Steps.'" The sting operation started on August 29, lasted one week, and was a multi-agency effort led by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PSCO) Vice Unit. Their efforts found and rescued at least two sex trafficking victims. Former cop DiPrima was arrested after he tried to solicit an escort while attending the American Polygraph Association seminar in Orlando on August 31. He thought he was speaking to a sex worker, but was actually talking to an undercover PSCO detective. The Cartersville Police Department said in a press release that DiPrima had resigned Thursday following the department placing him on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/09/12/biden-loosens-tech-export-restrictions-on-china/ Biden Quietly Loosens Tech Export Rules to Chinese Communist Firms Just Days After Huawei Lobbyist’s Brother Joins White House. The White House quietly loosened Trump-era restrictions on the sharing of U.S. technology with firms blacklisted for their ties to the Chinese Communist Party, including the controversial Huawei, The National Pulse can report. The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued a revision to a Trump-era Export Administration Regulations (EAR) newly authorizing the release of certain technology and software for the alleged purpose of “standards setting and development in standards organizations.” The move, which applies to firms that have been blacklisted by the U.S. government, was advertised as addressing confusion over whether American companies need a license to share “low-level”technology with sanctioned parties. Notably, Huawei Technologies Co. – which was included in the original export ban, as telecommunications firm has extensive links to the Chinese Communist Party – will now be able to receive certain technologies from American companies. Labeled a “national security threat” by the Trump administration and a decades-long Chinese military collaborator by the U.S. Department of Defense, Huawei routinely provides the regime backdoor access to its products, networks, and devices. The State Department has also emphasized that the Chinese Communist Party uses Huawei as an “instrument not only for making money but also for pursuing the Party-State’s agenda and fulfilling its strategic objectives […] deeply enmeshed in Beijing’s system of oppression at home and its increasingly assertive strategic ambitions globally.” The news comes after months of wrangling by Huawei lobbyists, those of whom include leading anti-Trump and pro-Biden individuals, such as Trump impeachment support Stephen Binhak, and the brothers of both Biden advisor Steve Richetti and newly minted Biden climate czar John Podesta.

Ukrainian officials accused retreating Russian forces of launching retaliatory attacks on civilian infrastructure, including a thermal power station in Kharkiv, that the authorities in Kyiv said caused widespread blackouts. "No military facilities, the goal is to deprive people of light & heat," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wrote on Twitter of the attacks. Moscow denies its forces deliberately target civilians. Zelenskiy has described Ukraine's offensive as a potential breakthrough in the six-month-old war, and said the winter could see further territorial gains if Kyiv received more powerful weapons. In the worst defeat for Moscow's forces since they were repelled from the outskirts of the capital Kyiv in March, thousands of Russian soldiers left behind ammunition and equipment as they fled the city of Izium, which they had used as a logistics hub.

Zelenskiy has described Ukraine's offensive as a potential breakthrough in the six-month-old war, and said the winter could see further territorial gains if Kyiv received more powerful weapons. In the worst defeat for Moscow's forces since they were repelled from the outskirts of the capital Kyiv in March, thousands of Russian soldiers left behind ammunition and equipment as they fled the city of Izium, which they had used as a logistics hub.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, September 13th, 2022. I hope you all had a restful weekend with your loved ones, so without further adieu, let me remind you about our conference! FLF Conference Plug Do you like Jesus & beer? Then you and your family need to come to the Fight Laugh Feast Conference in Knoxville Tennessee, on October 6-8. The topic of this conference is Lies, Propaganda, storytelling, and the serrated edge. Satan is the father of lies, and the mother of those lies is a government that has rejected God. Christians haven’t been reading their Bibles, so we as a society are more susceptible than ever to satan and his lies. So join us, October 6-8, as we fight, laugh, and feast, with beer & psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, including Pastor Doug Wilson, George Gilder, and Pastor Toby Sumpter, and more… AND, stuff for the kids too, like jumpy castles, and accidental infant baptisms! Sign up to attend with you and yours, or become a vendor at fightlaughfeast.com. Alright, now let’s get to the news! https://reason.com/2022/09/12/americans-spent-more-on-taxes-last-year-than-on-food-health-care-education-and-clothing-combined/ Americans Spent More on Taxes Last Year Than on Food, Health Care, Education, and Clothing Combined Yikes. New consumer spending data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provides some sobering perspective on how much Americans are paying in taxes. The data covers consumer spending across a wide variety of categories in 2021. Overall, taxes accounted for about 25 percent of average consumer spending. The BLS measures spending per "consumer unit," which it describes as "either (1) all members of a particular household who are related by blood, marriage, adoption or other legal arrangements; (2) persons living alone or sharing a household with others or living as a roomer in a private home or lodging house or in a permanent living quarters in a hotel or motel, but who is financially independent; or (3) two or more person living together who use their income to make joint expenditure decisions." On average, each "consumer unit" paid more than $16,000 in taxes last year. This outpaces average spending on food, clothing, education, and health care combined. The mean for total spending per unit on health care, food, education, and clothing was $16,721.42. This included an average of $8,289.28 on food, $5,451.61 on health care, $1,226.14 on education, and $1,754.39 on apparel. The mean for total spending per unit on taxes was $16,729.73. This included $8,561.46 in federal income tax, $2,564.14 in state and local income taxes, $2,475.18 in property taxes, $5,565.45 in Social Security deductions, and $105.21 in other taxes, offset by an average stimulus payment of $2,541.71. In addition to this disturbing tidbit, the new BLS data contains a wealth of other information on American spending habits and offers an interesting glimpse at recovery—and inflation—during the second year of the coronavirus pandemic. The highest expenditure category was housing, at an average $22,623.55 per consumer unit (including property taxes). Major spending categories aside from housing, food, health care, education, and clothing included transportation ($10,961.18), utilities/fuels/public services ($4,223.49), entertainment ($3,567.89), household operations ($1,638.42), and personal care products and services ($770.51). A lot of numbers for you guys on that one… moving on: https://thepostmillennial.com/Sex-traffickers-nabbed-in-florida-sting-include-disney-employees-police-deputy?utm_campaign=64487 Sex traffickers nabbed in Florida sting include Disney employees, police deputy A Florida sex trafficking sting known as "Operation Fall Haul II" captured a 160 culprits this week with a list that included several Disney employees, a teacher, and Georgia Deputy Police Chief Jason DiPrima. According to local news, DiPrima was considered an up-and-comer in the Georgia force and Sheriff Grady Judd, who ran the sting, said, "If all else fails, he could write a book, 'How to Ruin Your Career in Three Easy Steps.'" The sting operation started on August 29, lasted one week, and was a multi-agency effort led by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PSCO) Vice Unit. Their efforts found and rescued at least two sex trafficking victims. Former cop DiPrima was arrested after he tried to solicit an escort while attending the American Polygraph Association seminar in Orlando on August 31. He thought he was speaking to a sex worker, but was actually talking to an undercover PSCO detective. The Cartersville Police Department said in a press release that DiPrima had resigned Thursday following the department placing him on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/09/12/biden-loosens-tech-export-restrictions-on-china/ Biden Quietly Loosens Tech Export Rules to Chinese Communist Firms Just Days After Huawei Lobbyist’s Brother Joins White House. The White House quietly loosened Trump-era restrictions on the sharing of U.S. technology with firms blacklisted for their ties to the Chinese Communist Party, including the controversial Huawei, The National Pulse can report. The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued a revision to a Trump-era Export Administration Regulations (EAR) newly authorizing the release of certain technology and software for the alleged purpose of “standards setting and development in standards organizations.” The move, which applies to firms that have been blacklisted by the U.S. government, was advertised as addressing confusion over whether American companies need a license to share “low-level”technology with sanctioned parties. Notably, Huawei Technologies Co. – which was included in the original export ban, as telecommunications firm has extensive links to the Chinese Communist Party – will now be able to receive certain technologies from American companies. Labeled a “national security threat” by the Trump administration and a decades-long Chinese military collaborator by the U.S. Department of Defense, Huawei routinely provides the regime backdoor access to its products, networks, and devices. The State Department has also emphasized that the Chinese Communist Party uses Huawei as an “instrument not only for making money but also for pursuing the Party-State’s agenda and fulfilling its strategic objectives […] deeply enmeshed in Beijing’s system of oppression at home and its increasingly assertive strategic ambitions globally.” The news comes after months of wrangling by Huawei lobbyists, those of whom include leading anti-Trump and pro-Biden individuals, such as Trump impeachment support Stephen Binhak, and the brothers of both Biden advisor Steve Richetti and newly minted Biden climate czar John Podesta.

Ukrainian officials accused retreating Russian forces of launching retaliatory attacks on civilian infrastructure, including a thermal power station in Kharkiv, that the authorities in Kyiv said caused widespread blackouts.

On August 21, 2009, a young mother wanted a night out. 21-year-old Rose Marie Bly had two children under the age of two. Rose stayed home with the kids while her husband, whom she had just married in February of that year, worked. Rose told her husband that she was going to go visit her cousin who lived close to their St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin home. But Rose never made it. Her case received a fair amount of local attention, but not a lot of clues, so it eventually faded from the public consciousness. That is, until 12 years later when her family was facing another tragedy: the disappearance of her niece, Summer Wells. If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Rose Bly, please contact the Polk County Sheriff's Office at 715-485-8300.Si tiene información sobre la desaparición de Rose Bly, comuníquese con la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Polk al 715-485-8300.We are proud members of Spreaker Prime and The Darkcast Network.Find us everywhere: https://linktr.ee/attwgpodGet episodes early and ad-free on Patreon: https://patreon.com/attwgpodMerch store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/attwgpodFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blog: https://andthentheyweregone.com/blogThis week's promo is from California True Crime: A True Crime Podcast that take a look at crimes, history, social issues, and the varied culture of California. https://sites.google.com/view/californiatruecrime/homePartial list of sources:https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/29501272?h=81ae69https://drydenwire.com/obituaries/kenneth-bly/https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/29501645?h=caf341https://charleyproject.org/case/rose-marie-blyhttps://medium.com/the-mystery-box/the-disappearance-of-a-young-mother-rose-marie-bly-1749b4dca6fchttps://www.twincities.com/2009/09/11/husband-of-missing-st-croix-falls-wis-woman-files-for-divorce/https://www.presspubs.com/cops-need-help-finding-missing-woman/article_a441968f-d231-5212-bbe9-3f8b699b6ed1.htmlSusan Bahorich's viral cat video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enB2QL9Ulus

Recognized as a leader in the law enforcement profession, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd lives by the importance of first valuing the people he serves that makes every community a thriving place of peace and order.    Join me in this episode of Someone Gets Me — Sheriff Grady Judd Speaks On Visionary Leadership. ▶️    Key point covered in this episode:    ✔️Notable positive changes in Polk County are attributed to Sheriff Grady Judd's leadership. A visionary and hard worker, he was recently recognized as "Sheriff of the Year" by Major County Sheriffs of America. Sheriff Grady shares he has always wanted to work in law enforcement since he was four years old. "That was my dream, and I grew up and got to do exactly that. How many people can say they wake up every morning before the alarm goes off and come to work all excited to help someone? I get to do that every day."   ✔️The toxicity of American politics has created a huge divide in recent years. Sheriff Grady believes that upholding his mission of providing help to all regardless of affiliation, color, or interests is what is most needed now. "I dismiss all of this craziness that we've seen the last few years because that's not the America I know, the America I grew up in. I get up every day, and I choose to see the good in people and respond to people who are struggling. And then we get to provide that help, and that's pretty special to me."   ✔️For Sheriff Grady Judd, law enforcement is impossible without appreciation and concern for the people he serves. "You've got to love people first before you can lead them anywhere. And I love the people of Polk County, and I love the people in the Sheriff's Office. Until you care about them as an individual first, nothing else matters. And that's why I believe that I've been ultimately successful because people you love and care for will reciprocate."   Grady Judd began his career at the Polk County Sheriff 's Office (Florida) in 1972 as a dispatcher. After transferring to the Patrol Division in 1974, he quickly progressed through the ranks – holding every rank from Sergeant to Colonel. Polk County overwhelmingly elected Grady to serve as Sheriff in 2004.   Sheriff Judd has earned higher education degrees through the Masters level – having obtained both Master's and Bachelor's degrees from Rollins College. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, the Senior Management Institute for Police, the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar, and the FBI National Executive Institute. He was a participant of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) Law Enforcement Exchange Program (LEEP).   Sheriff Judd has taught as an adjunct professor at both the University of South Florida and Florida Southern College. He is a Polk County School Board Hall of Fame inductee, a past recipient of Polk State College's prestigious Distinguished Alumni Award, the 2008 Boy Scouts of America Distinguished Citizen Award, Protect Our Children Junny Award, the 2013 Callyo's Leaders in Online Child Protection Award, as well as the 2013 Church Women United Human Rights Award. He continues to serve the community on several boards and committees, including the Volunteers in Service to the Elderly (VISTE) and Polk Vision. He is a past President of the Florida Sheriffs Association and the immediate past President of the Major County Sheriffs of America, a national organization serving counties with a population of 500,000 or more. In 2020, he was appointed by the President of the United States to the Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention committee, for a three-year term. Grady has been married to Marisa since 1972, and they have two adult sons and 13 grandchildren.
