Prince Harry blew through a hundred million Netflix dollars on shows nobody watches and now wants his old bedroom back at the palace, which David and Brad note is a rough way to test the theory that you can never go home again. Meanwhile in Belgium, a 26 year old car salesman named Clement Vandenkerckhove gets a DNA test and a royal title, becoming a literal prince the same week Harry becomes a metaphorical pauper. Up at Penn State, a Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon joint venture turns out to have been running a multimillion dollar cocaine operation, which the guys generously concede is at least ambitious for a fraternity. And in Massachusetts, hundreds of women in pink gather outside a courthouse to defend a mother who strangled her three children, which David and Brad call it what it is: evil, and a society that's started cheering it on.
The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three young children, has spawned a courtroom subplot with real legal stakes: prosecutor Shanan Buckingham has spent weeks in Plymouth Superior Court in a rotating collection of hair bows, widely read as a tribute to five-year-old Cora, who loved them. But even a well-meant gesture is a gamble, handing the defense a ready-made argument that the state is leaning on sympathy over substance and potentially seeding an appeal. Over in the business of law, private equity finally got the yes it's been chasing: Wood Smith Henning & Berman, a 500-plus-lawyer insurance-defense shop, reportedly signed a letter of intent to sell a stake to Charlesbank Capital Partners at a roughly $700 million valuation. Structured through a management services organization to sidestep Rule 5.4's ban on non-lawyer ownership, it would be the largest PE investment in an American law firm to date -- a toehold, not yet a takeover. And in the category of career moves we can't recommend, a prominent Pittsburgh attorney landed himself in a fraternity drug scandal. Paul Robinson, a practice-group chair at Meyer, Darragh, Buckler, Bebenek & Eck, was charged with tampering and hindering apprehension for allegedly making evidence disappear from a multistate cocaine ring that prosecutors say his son helped run out of Penn State's Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi houses -- where, per the AG, packaging kilos doubled as a pledge task.
The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 08/22/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS **The Weaponization of the Legal System & State Torture: We provide an immediate, vital update on the Sade C. Robinson email campaign and the institutional fraud operating inside the Milwaukee County courthouse. We break down the ex-parte shadow docket maneuvers executed by court reporting personnel to insulate defense counsel, and highlight the historical significance of our active state appellate Writ of Mandamus (Case No. D1 26AP1945-W) and federal records filings. We contrast the systematic conversion of pre-paid public transcript fees with the metropolitan police force's rapid, seven-day delivery of massive criminal dossiers to expose targeted record suppression under the color of authority. **Systemic Educational Exclusion & Corporate Drug Trafficking: We deconstruct the explosive national and regional press accounts documenting the multi-kilo fraternity cocaine-trafficking ring dismantled at Penn State University. We evaluate how two historically white Greek organizations—Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon—utilized physical houses as unmonitored processing plants and forced pledges to package raw brick narcotics under the sanitized media label of "hazing indoctrination." We analyze the absolute White Power displayed by elite white dealers who resisted armed arrest because they assumed a major federal drug raid was a playful frat prank. Furthermore, we expose the intergenerational protective shield deployed by a high-powered, White corporate attorney father who crossed county lines to remove a secure narcotics vault to obstruct state investigators, and contrast this institutional immunity with the immediate, closed-fist state violence unleashed against Black teenagers over minor, everyday infractions. **The Architecture of Mass Surveillance & Digital Displacement: We track the systemic pattern of the "White Woman Outlaw" inside law enforcement infrastructure, analyzing the criminal arrest and $100,000 bond of former Jackson Police Department 911 dispatcher Taylor Williams. We expose how back-office clerical operators systematically weaponize their access to restricted law enforcement database streams to leak sensitive investigative files and shield active criminal networks from state tracking. We connect this administrative deviance right alongside historical precedents like Mary Ann Twitty in Ferguson and Becky Hill in South Carolina to prove that clerical networks are routinely used to maintain total control over public information under the color of authority. **Immigration Terror & Local Community Resistance: We investigate the ongoing structural blackouts and Jackson residents rally surrounding the highly suspicious hanging death of Tasia Fortune in Jackson, Miss. We evaluate the local municipal response and compare the regional timeline directly against the unexplainable, suspicious death of Nolan Wells in the exact same geographic region. #TheCOWS17Years #RobertAndMabelWilliams #MilitaryIntelligence #CounterRacism #RadioFreeDixie #GlobalWhiteSupremacy #NaziPOWs #StockadeDeception #MonroeNC Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#
Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show, LDS abuse whistleblower, survivor, investigative researcher, journalist and reporter, creator of LDS Abuse, excommunicated lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, loving father, nature lover, and a man on a mission to help members of the spiritual body known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints know what to expect from their church if they become victims of abuse: Justin Riggs aka LDS AbuseIn our last two episodes, Justin took us on a deep dive into the heart of institutional failure and the hidden structures that protect it. We first examined the case of Gordon Bowen - a world-famous advertising executive whose alleged patterns of abuse, financial misconduct, and decades-long ties to top LDS church leaders revealed a system prioritizing brand protection over victims. Through court documents, journals, and public records, we traced how an abuser remained connected to apostles and prophets even after excommunication, while survivors were left without recourse. We then expanded that conversation into the deeper roots: the quasi-religious secret societies, fraternities like Sigma Chi and Pi Kappa Alpha, Skull and Bones chapters, and patronage networks that have infiltrated Utah's elite and church leadership for over a century. From humiliation rituals and death oaths to the Black Supper and the pipeline of power, influence, and gain, we explored how these systems condition compromise, enable cover-ups, and make justice for survivors so elusive. These themes - ritual abuse allegations, historical infiltration, and the prioritization of secrecy over the vulnerable - have been the foundation of Justin's recent work. Today, we build on that conversation even more, continuing to connect the dots with the same relentless, evidence-based courage that has defined this journey. At the center of it all stands Justin, also known online as ‘LDS Abuse' - a singular voice for truth whose life story is both a profound personal odyssey and a beacon of hope for every survivor still searching for light in the darkness. Justin's path began in the quiet corridors of personal curiosity. A lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he once sought simply to understand how good people could fail victims of abuse. That curiosity quickly evolved into a rigorous, evidence-based mission and his research extends far beyond individual cases. Justin built a public archive of evidence that empowers others to see the patterns for themselves. This relentless pursuit came at great personal cost: his work led to his excommunication from the church he had known his entire life. Yet he continues, driven by the unshakable conviction that sunlight is the best disinfectant and that secrets only allow abuse to metastasize. Justin's work has connected the dots between ritual abuse allegations, historical infiltration efforts, and the LDS corporation's prioritization of brand protection. He has revealed a system where victims are funneled into therapy modalities that undermine legal recourse, and where even prophets and apostles have been implicated in shielding perpetrators. Through painstaking documentation, he has transformed private pain into public knowledge, given voice to the voiceless, and offered a roadmap for accountability. What makes Justin truly awe-inspiring is not only the depth of his research or the courage to expose even his own family's pain - it is the profound humanity that burns beneath the fire. He speaks of chain-breakers and he believes in a God of both justice and mercy. He weeps with survivors, fights alongside them, and extends grace even when it costs him personally. Justin stands as a model of intellectual courage and moral clarity. A survivor who refused to stay silent. A researcher who turned personal cost into collective light. A warrior whose unwavering stand continues to remind us that one dedicated soul, armed with evidence and fierce love for the vulnerable, can help break the chains for generations yet to come. His courage continues to shift what is possible. His humanity continues to heal. And his story continues to inspire every one of us to stand a little taller, speak a little louder, and refuse to look away.
A massive alleged cocaine trafficking operation tied to Penn State fraternities has exploded into national headlines — and the details sound more like a Netflix crime series than college life.Authorities have charged 14 people, including current and former Penn State students, in connection with an alleged cocaine distribution ring involving members of Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi. Prosecutors say large quantities of cocaine were brought into State College from Philadelphia and New York, then allegedly cut, packaged, and distributed primarily to other Penn State students. Investigators even claim fraternity pledges were sometimes used to help package the drugs.And somehow, the story gets even crazier.
By December 5, 2022, Moscow police said investigators were still reconstructing the movements of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in the hours before the murders and were particularly interested in filling gaps in Ethan and Xana's timeline at the Sigma Chi house. Detectives had received more than 2,600 emailed tips, 2,700 phone tips and 1,000 digital media submissions, while continuing to seek surveillance video from the broader Moscow area between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Police had also investigated reports that Kaylee had a stalker, including an October incident in which a man appeared to follow her inside and outside a local business, but investigators determined that encounter was isolated and found no evidence connecting either man involved to the murders. Authorities continued to maintain that the killings appeared targeted, although they had not determined whether the target had been the residence itself or one or more of the victims.At that point, no suspect had been identified, nobody was in custody and investigators had not recovered the murder weapon. Police said they did not believe the surviving roommates, the man seen in the Grub Truck video, the private driver who took Kaylee and Madison home, the man the women repeatedly called that morning, anyone present when the 911 call was made, or a former tenant listed on the lease had been involved. Investigators had collected 113 pieces of physical evidence, taken approximately 4,000 crime-scene photographs, completed multiple 3D scans of the King Road house, searched the contents of three dumpsters and contacted local businesses about recent fixed-blade knife purchases. The Idaho State Police crime lab was already processing evidence, while the FBI had deployed dozens of investigators and behavioral-analysis personnel to assist. Police also continued pushing back against rumors, saying several incidents that had attracted public attention, including other regional stabbings, a red Mustang, reports of tied and gagged victims and animal mutilations, had not been connected to the murders.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Jim and Stacy Chapin had broken their silence about the murder of their 20-year-old son, Ethan, five months after he was killed alongside Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves in Moscow, Idaho. The Chapins recalled that they had visited their triplets at the University of Idaho during parents' weekend just one week before the murders and had left feeling proud and reassured that Ethan, Hunter and Maizie were thriving on their own. Jim remembered saying goodbye to Ethan outside the Sigma Chi fraternity house, where he hugged his son and told him to be safe, never imagining it would be the last time they spoke. Seven days later, Ethan was killed at the off-campus King Road home. The Chapins described the months that followed as an unimaginably painful period in which the family largely withdrew from the outside world, spending weeks together talking, crying and trying to process what had happened.Rather than allowing anger to consume them, Jim and Stacy said they had tried to focus their energy on Ethan's memory and the surviving members of their family. They created the Ethan's Smile foundation, which grew out of a special tulip mix developed in Ethan's honor by Tulip Valley Farms, where he had previously worked, and planned to use the foundation to provide scholarships for students from Washington's Skagit Valley attending the University of Idaho. The Chapins said they had no regrets about the amount of time they had spent with Ethan while he was alive, remembering family vacations, childhood activities and traditions that had kept the family close. Stacy also recalled Ethan sending her Morgan Wallen's “Thought You Should Know” before his death because he believed the song reflected their relationship, turning it into an especially meaningful reminder of her son. As the family moved forward, they said they were trying to find small victories and preserve Ethan's legacy rather than allow the brutality of his death to define his life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin had been living recognizable college lives filled with friendships, relationships, school, work and plans for the future before they were murdered in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022. Mogen and Goncalves had been best friends since childhood and had remained inseparable through high school and into the University of Idaho, where they eventually lived together. Goncalves had recently purchased a Range Rover and had been preparing to move to Texas for a marketing job, while Mogen had worked hard academically and had made the dean's list. Kernodle had endured a much more difficult childhood marked by instability and her parents' struggles with drugs, but she had grown into an outgoing, optimistic young woman who appeared determined not to let those circumstances define her. At college she had built a close circle of friends and had begun dating Chapin, a popular 20-year-old student who was one of triplets and belonged to Sigma Chi. Chapin's parents had visited him only about a week before the murders and had driven home believing their children were happily established in college and beginning their adult lives.On November 12, 2022, the four students had spent what initially appeared to be an ordinary Saturday night in Moscow. Mogen and Goncalves had gotten ready together before going to the Corner Club and later stopping at a food truck, while Kernodle and Chapin had attended a party at the nearby Sigma Chi fraternity house. Goncalves had only recently returned to Moscow, in part to show Mogen her new vehicle, making the visit one of the final chapters in a friendship that had lasted nearly a decade. The home on King Road had been known as a lively gathering place filled with music, friends and parties, fitting comfortably into a college town that had gone years without a homicide and was widely regarded as safe. By the following morning, however, Mogen, Goncalves, Kernodle and Chapin had all been killed inside the house, abruptly ending four young lives that had been moving in very different directions but had become closely intertwined at the University of Idaho. Their deaths transformed an ordinary college residence and a quiet community into the center of a massive murder investigation that would soon draw national attention.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2023/02/idaho-murders-victims-alleged-killerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

With Scope 3 accounting for over 90% of overall emissions, Starbucks has seen its GHG footprint grow by 7% overall since 2019.The reassessment of the goal comes as the company takes “a fresh, comprehensive look at our sustainability goals,” according to a blog post by Starbucks' Chief Sustainability and Social Impact Officer Kelly Goodejohn, as part of the company's ‘Back to Starbucks' strategy initiated by CEO Brain Niccol. From the Impact Report:Overall Grants from the Starbucks FoundationFY25 $13.6M ($31M)FY24 $21.4M ($96M)Delaware Court of Chancery Interprets New Section 144 and Applies Heightened Presumption of Director IndependenceThe Opinion arose in a common context in Delaware stockholder litigation: claims over director and management compensation. In the decision, Vice Chancellor Lori W. Will applied, for the first time, the statute's heightened presumption of independence for directors of public companies determined by the board to be independent under the relevant NYSE or Nasdaq listing standards to dismiss derivative claims on demand futility grounds.In conducting the demand futility analysis, which looks to whether a majority of the board can independently consider a stockholder demand to bring derivative litigation, the Court reasoned that the new statutory language requiring a plaintiff to plead “substantial and particularized facts” to rebut the “heightened” presumption of independence sets a higher bar than under pre-existing law. Specifically, the Court held that the addition of “substantial” to the existing standard that already required particularized facts meant that “a plaintiff must plead specific, non-conclusory facts of sufficient qualitative significance to support a reasonable inference of a material interest or relationship that would impair the director's objective judgment.” The Court was clear that it is not a matter of quantity but rather quality, observing that “a collection of trivial facts” will not rise to the level of materiality required to satisfy this “heightened” standard. Applying that standard to the facts in the case, the Court concluded that the plaintiff's allegations of various overlapping board positions, overlapping investments, and other “business ties” with the company's founder and non-executive chairman were not sufficiently material.DR2The Boardroom Buy-InThe Taser CEO Who Says AI Is the Future of PolicingTaser and body-cam king Rick Smith is betting Axon's dominance—and his own pay package—on his tech-driven vision66% influenceRick Smith: Every 30 seconds one of his Tasers is fired by somebody in the U.S., usually a police officer.The pay package he and his board put together catapulted him to the top of last year's list of the highest-paid CEOs, with a compensation package valued at $164.4 million.33% no 2025; 10% no 2026Smith has already hit three of seven goals.

The department issued a technical release in April warning that proxy advisory firms may be subject to ERISA fiduciary standards and that proxy voting is a fiduciary act under the law that must be carried out “for the exclusive purpose of maximizing risk-adjusted return.”From the technical release in April: The Department has long recognized that voting rights and other shareholder rights attributable to shares held by ERISA-governed employee benefit plans are plan assets in their own right. Accordingly, management of those rights is subject to ERISA's fiduciary duties, including the duties of prudence and loyalty. The Department first issued guidance on this topic in the 1980s. For example, a 1988 letter (Avon Letter) noted that “it is the Department's position that the decision as to how proxies should be voted . . . are fiduciary acts of plan asset management.”(2)Proxy advisory firms may also be functional fiduciaries under ERISA section 3(21)(A)(ii) by providing investment advice for a fee to plans with respect to property of that plan.Here's why it's interesting:Defining fiduciaries as those who provide advice for a fee means everyone selling research is a fiduciary if the research is used in an investment decisionThe DOL is squarely defining proxy voting as a fiduciary act - which means that there can be no rational apathy as Mike Levin likes to talk about - if voting your proxies is definitionally your fiduciary duty, you can't defer it or ignore itIf you vote 99% in favor of management, you definitionally are ignoring your fiduciary duty - half of companies will underperform some peer set, meaning they produced fewer returns than peers, in any given year. So you either set the time frame longer (thus forcing the inclusion of long term data like climate and social factors) and say that in any one year it makes sense to vote with management to allow them time to execute strategy, OR you should be voting against nearly half of management proposals for underperformers each year because they are not producing pecuniary returnsGovernance chairs remain under pressure as investor scrutiny rises despite rising support for directors, research showsISS found that the MEDIAN support for directors has hit 98%They found that governance/nom chairs (those are specifically governance/nom committee chairs) had median support of 94.1%Pay chairs had 96.9% supportMM2The Boardroom Buy-InJPMorgan built a pipeline of female CEO candidates that was the envy of Wall Street.

This 150th episode of the Next Lawyer Up podcast is quite personal to me. As I readily tell people, I was an 18-year-old first generation (and somewhat aimless!) college student who ventured from Chicago to the University of Arizona. There, very quickly, I fell in with Sigma Chi fraternity and pledged immediately. Philip "Flip" May was our pledge class trainer, called Magister in the Sigma Chi world. He was off-the-charts impressive, having already been a student body senator and then student body president. On top of that, he was selected to the senior honorary, Bobcats, limited to the top13 most outstanding seniors at the university. He is, as he should be, a member of the Sigma Chi – Beta Phi Chapter Hall of Honor and you can read about his information here. I learned a great deal from Flip and the rest of the Sigma Chi upperclassmen who were his friends, and they really ended up having a major impact on my own life and career. It is no surprise that Flip went on to co-found the highly respected law firm of May, Potenza, Baran & Gillespie, P.C., where he currently serves as the managing partner. I have not talked to Flip since probably 1982 or so and it was great to catch up with him on this 150th episode.
Colonel (R) Greg Gunter is a 30-year Army veteran and we were both commissioned as U.S. Army Second Lieutenants on the same day in May 1984 from the University of Arizona. My Sigma Chi fraternity brothers liked Greg so much that we offered him a bid late in his college career. Greg went through pledgeship in the spring of his junior year so that we could be fraternity brothers and have an uproarious senior year. As it turned out, Greg's father was a Sigma Chi, Beta Phi Chapter, at the University of Arizona and his mother was the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. I was in New Orleans for a legal conference some years back and I did a couple of Next Lawyer Up podcasts, and while there, I also did one with Greg so that we could commemorate a little bit of our history for posterity's sake. Greg lives in New Orleans after retiring from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He is a great guy and I hope you like this little bit of personal history!
Listen now and nominate a colleague who is making a similar impact in our field!Matthew K. Cashion, Jr., CIC, CRM (Matt), born and raised in Little Rock, was enrolled in the seventh grade at Pulaski Academy upon its inception by his parents. Before graduating in 1977, he attended Boys State and served as state president of the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). His next phase of life found him following in the footsteps of his next older brother, Ted, graduating from Westminster College in Fulton, MO in 1981 with degrees in Economics & Business Administration and Accounting, and a fiancee, Susan Pippin. While at Westminster, he served as a member of the college's prestigious Skulls of Seven Society and is a Sigma Chi. After graduation, he joined the family agency alongside both brothers, Benson and Ted, and his father, Knight, and marrying his college sweetheart in the spring of 1982.Education and industry involvement was instilled in the agency fiber by Knight and continues as part of its DNA today. Soon after joining the agency, his father sent him to the Reliance Insurance Company's Agent Surety School in 1983. In 1986, Matt received his Certified Insurance Counselor Designation and completed the requirements for his Certified Risk Manager designation in 2004. Additionally, Knight gave him the opportunity to attend surety industry association meetings, where he found his business passion. With mentors from all over the countryproviding wind in his sails, Matt volunteered his way through the ranks of the National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP), serving as a Regional Vice-President, Board Member, various committee memberships and chairmanships, and in 2003-2004 he served as the youngest national president.His lane through NASBP was via education. Attending its Level 2 surety school in 1986, he discovered a second passion; teaching. Returning to the association's school two years later, Matt was recently honored as the longest tenured instructor for NASBP clocking in 35 years of volunteer service to thousands of students from every state in the union as well as seven foreign countries. Further participation has included curriculum development and review of all levels of the association's educational offerings on contract surety, text editing of The Basic Bond Book, curriculum review for The Institutes' AFSB designation as well as recording select course introduction videos.Having just completed another term as chair of NASBP's Professional Development Committee, Matt is currently serving as co-chair of the Annual Meeting Program committee for a record sixth time.NASBP honored Matt with the President's Award in 2004, the John J. “Jack” Curtin Presidents Award for Distinguished Service in Surety Education in 2009, the Bruce T. Wallace Award for Career Contributions in 2013 (its highest award), and the John J. “Jack” Curtin Award again in 2023, becoming the only two time recipient.Matt also followed the leadership example set by his business partner, Jim Allbritton, serving as president of The Independent Insurance Agents of Arkansas (Big I - Arkansas) in 2015-2016. In 2021, Big I honored Matt with its highest award, the Allan Kennedy Memorial Award.An unintended consequence of volunteer service to various construction trade associations over the years has resulted in awards from the Associated Builders and Contractors of Arkansas (ABC) (2020 - Phillip Joiner Award for leadership) and Associated General Contractors of Arkansas (AGC) (2011 - Distinguished Service Award; 2021 - President's Award). After having served as a founding member of National AGC's Surety Industry Advisory Council and acting as its Outreach and Education Task Force Chair in 2001, AGC inducted Matt into its Consulting Contractors Council of America in 2009.Further involvement has included presentations and speaking opportunities all over the country to various groups ranging from the AICPA, the National Home Builders Association, local surety associations, trade associations (AGC, ABC, ASA, NAWIC), universities, engineers, and as a convention keynote speaker in Puerto Rico.Outside of the industry, Matt has offered his time to a variety of civic organizations including Pulaski Academy, Alzheimer's Arkansas Programs and Services, the Metropolitan YMCA, and the Heflin Youth Foundation. Additionally, he has received gubernatorial appointments to the Information Network of Arkansas and the Contractors Licensing Board, where he has served as Chair.Combining his passion for teaching and his greatest blessing, Matt and his wife have co-led various small groups at their church for over 30 years, most recently post college single adults. Pushing the comfort zone limits, he even became an ordained minister during the pandemic in order to perform a requested wedding service for a couple that had met in the class.His most recent passion and greatest joys are found in spending time with his six amazing grandchildren. His daughter Rachel and her husband Dr. David Rainwater, have three wonderful girls. His son, Matthew K. Cashion, III (Tripp) and his wife Kara, have two amazing girls and his only grandson (Matthew K. Cashion, IV aka Knight).

Today marks one month since these tragic and senseless murders took place. On the evening of November 12th, Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen were at a local bar called Corner Club at 202 N. Main Street, in downtown Moscow, between 10 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. on November 13th. At approximately 1:40 a.m., Kaylee and Madison were seen on video at a local food vendor called the “Grub Truck” at 318 S. Main Street and used a private party for a ride home from downtown to arrive at their 1122 King Road residence around 1:56 a.m. Investigators have determined that Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle were seen at the Sigma Chi house on the University of Idaho Campus at 735 Nez Perce Drive. At approximately 1:45 a.m., Ethan and Xana are believed to have returned to the residence at 1122 King Road. It was previously reported that Ethan resided at the home; however, it has been determined that he was only visiting. Detectives believe that on November 12th, the two surviving roommates had also been out in the Moscow community, separately, but returned home by 1 a.m. on November 13th. The two did not wake up until later that morning. On November 13th, the surviving roommates summoned friends to the residence because they believed one of the second-floor victims had passed out and was not waking up. At 11:58 a.m., a 911 call requested aid for an unconscious person. The call was made from one of the surviving roommates' cell phones inside the residence. Multiple people talked with the 911 dispatcher before Moscow Police arrived at the location. Officers entered the residence and found two victims on the second floor and two victims on the third floor. Autopsies were conducted on November 17th. The Latah County Coroner confirmed the identity of the four murdered individuals and their cause and manner of death as homicide by stabbing. The coroner stated the four victims were likely asleep, some had defensive wounds, and each was stabbed multiple times. There was no sign of sexual assault. We also hear an update from Moscow Police Captain Roger Lanier as he reflects on the last month and where the investigation is headed.

Friday Recap of week four. A scream, a white Hyundai Elantra, private investigators, frustration and assurance. Plain-clothed officers were on the scene the evening of 12/8. We discuss who they likely are and why they may be there. Were these Federal Marshals? Hyundai Elantra MOSCOW, Idaho – Detectives are interested in speaking with the occupant(s) of a white 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra, with an unknown license plate. Tips and leads have led investigators to look for additional information about a vehicle being in the immediate area of the King Street residence during the early morning hours of November 13th. Investigators believe the occupant(s) of this vehicle may have critical information to share regarding this case.+ This is not the vehicle from the body cam footage, per police. If you know of or own a vehicle matching this description, or know of anyone who may have been driving this vehicle on the days preceding or the day of the murders, please forward that information to the Tip Line. Information can be submitted: Tip Line: 208-883-7180 Missing Time Line One thing still under investigation is what happened between 9 p.m. Nov. 12 and 1:45 a.m. on Nov. 13 when police believe XANA and ETHAN were at the Sigma Chi house. Police are asking anyone with information about their interactions, contacts, plans or means of travel to share that with the department. Stalker? Using tips and leads, investigators have identified an incident involving Kaylee at a local business, which may have been the stalker reference she made to friends and family. In mid-October, two males were seen inside a local business; they parted ways, and one male appeared to follow Kaylee inside the business and as she exited to walk toward her car. The male turned away, and it did not appear he made any contact with her. Detectives contacted both males and learned the two were attempting to meet women at the business, this was corroborated through additional investigation. Based on available information, detectives believe this was an isolated incident and not an ongoing pattern of stalking. No evidence suggests the two males were involved in the murders. Investigators continue looking into information about Kaylee having a stalker. Information about a potential stalker or unusual occurrences should go through the Tip Line. The dog There have been numerous requests about the dog found at the residence on the morning of November 13th. Arriving officers entered the residence and found the deceased victims. During the search of the home, a dog was found in a room where the crimes had not been committed. Officers did not find any evidence on the dog and there was no indication the animal had entered the crime scene. The dog was taken to Animal Services and released to a responsible person. While the dog was in the house when officers arrived, it has not been determined where the dog was physically located when the murders took place. 4 Killed For What is a production of True Crime Today; listen & sub to True Crime Today Here: https://availableon.com/truecrimetodayatruecrimepodcast Join Tony Brueski @tonybpod on twitter, and our Facebook Discussion Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/834636321133023 If you have information about the Moscow, Idaho murders: Tip Line: 208-883-7180 Email: tipline@ci.moscow.id.us Digital Media: http://fbi.gov/moscowidaho
As frustration grows in the University of Idaho Murders case from the public and the parents of Kaylee Goncalves, today we hear a candid update from the police. Fox News Alexis McAdams spoke with the Moscow, Idaho, police chief. James Fry, as he tries to relay his personal dedication and restore confidence in finding the murders in this horrific quadruple homicide. He talked of his personal relationship and emotional connection to the murders. Addressing Kristi's complaint, Fry said the department had re-interviewed some individuals up to three times, noting that a "cleared" individual can still be called back to speak with investigators if the evidence supports it. "We always have the option of re-interviewing,"; "We've actually re-interviewed people two or three times because we'll get tips, or we'll get information that we need to verify again and sometimes we need to ask the questions just a little, bit different to ensure that we're getting the proper information to continue on with this investigation. So that happens regularly in all investigations."

Assemblyman Jim Patterson announced his plans for the Accountability for Fentanyl Dealers Act at a press conference Monday before being sworn in to the California State Assembly. Patterson was alerted by Fresno County District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp to a loophole in the law that is sending dangerous drug dealers and suppliers right back out into our neighborhoods and schools. “Since such a small amount of fentanyl can have deadly consequences, it's vital that we change the way we hold dealers and suppliers accountable.” –Assemblymember Jim Patterson A man was shot to death by deputies Tuesday following a standoff just outside Fresno. The shooting happened about 5:20 a.m. in the area of Belmont and Wintergreen avenues across from Belmont Country Club, according to deputies.

Former FBI investigator Bill Daly talked to Fox News and provides an analysis of the Idaho quadruple murder case and if it is indeed a good thing that we don't have much more information in the public sphere. Even though police cleared a man from an incident more than a month ago at a bar, was there a stalker hiding in the shadow of the lives of one or more of the victims? We also discuss the profile of a killer. Do they feel remorse? Are they still alive? Or do they feel justified in their actions? 4 Killed For What is a production of True Crime Today, listen & sub to True Crime Today Here: https://availableon.com/truecrimetodayatruecrimepodcast Join our Facebook Discussion Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/834636321133023 If you have information about the Moscow, Idaho murders: Tip Line: 208-883-7180 Email: tipline@ci.moscow.id.us Digital Media: http://fbi.gov/moscowidaho

Wouldn't it be great to make Medicine, well….SIMPLE? Our guest this week has authored a book to help make “self diagnosis” more accurate instead of scaring you with those misleading and frightening Google searches. Dr. Rob Barkett, MD is a self proclaimed “ grizzled veteran” of 27 years in Internal Medicine and second generation physician. Over the past couple years, he noticed patients struggling with worsening access to adequate medical care. Meanwhile as they sought out advice on the web, they were getting horrible and incorrect information on their conditions. Dr. Barkett noticed as well, worsening communications amongst healthcare providers that has been breaking down and affecting patient care outcomes. Thus was the genesis of his book Simple Medicine! For the nonphysician, Dr. Barkett's book lets you review your medical conditions in a concise manner and know where to go next. It chronicles the changes in primary care medicine over the past 50 years, the obstacles with the current system and he offers up some practical tips for up and coming physicians. We have a great time discussing ( AND RANTING) some of the concerns about the current Primary Care situation and how patients can advocate for themselves. Amazon link: https://simplemedicinebook.com/ About our guest: Rob Barkett Jr. M.D. grew up in Mansfield and was first-team All Ohio in basketball, and attended Purdue University on a golf scholarship. He was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He attended Thomas Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, and he completed his residency in internal medicine at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus. Rob joined his father's internal medicine private practice, where they practiced together for 13 years until his father's retirement.

In this episode, Mary Patton welcomes her childhood friend Russ Upton. Russ is a junior biochemistry major from Jackson, MS and the current chaplain of Sigma Chi at Ole Miss. During their conversation, Mary Patton and Russ discuss the process of sanctification in Russ's life during college, including his time abroad this past summer. Russ provides encouragement to students who struggle with their faith stories by reminding them of Philippians 1:6 which says, "And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." Russ encourages students to remember that God will enable them to be mirrors for Him, whether on their college campuses or in a new place across the world.

Heather was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. She is the 4th child of 6. As a child Heather was given the nickname of Flower. I don't know why…maybe she can explain. She attended Highland High School. While at HHS she caught the eye of many a boys…one of whom would eventually become her husband. After high school she attended the University of Utah. While at the U her older brother's best friend Don Van Boerum finally got the guts to ask her on a date. Many dates and Sigma Chi formals later, Don and Heather were married. Don was an inspiring doctor with big dreams…and brains. Don attended medical school at the U. After he graduated they hopped in their love bug and off they went to residency and all that other stuff aspiring doctors do. They spent several years in Arizona and California where Don perfected the craft of saving lives. During this time they became the parents to 4 amazing children. Finally after all those years away, family members back home were able to persuade the Van Boerum clan to return to Zion. They came kicking and screaming, but they came home. Back home the call to procreate came a knockin and they had another kid. Don started working as a trauma surgeon at IMC and Heather was home herding cats. Moving forward several years Heather and Don's kids have grown up. Some are in college, some are married, and one is starting his freshman year at Olympus in the Fall. Oh, and they are the proud grandparents to their first and only grandchild. Wait until you hear that story from Heather. Heather has always been a very active person. She loves going to the gym…even if she hates to sweat. She loves playing tennis with her friends in a local league. You also cold find Heather on a hike, a walk and every once in awhile get her on a run. Heather has never been one to sit around. All kidding aside, Heather is an amazing person. She has been her whole life. Her family and those that know her will attest to that. She has been a rock to so many people for so long. Heather is always ready to help. She can laugh with you, cry with you, give you amazing advice or just listen. Her family is no different. Don is always available when needed, even with his crazy doctor schedule. Trust me, I have called him at all hours of the day and met him at the ER at all hours. Heather and Don's 5 children and 2 son-in-laws make up a tribe that is unbreakable. Heather's 5 siblings are lucky to have her in their lives and to call her their sister and friend. On December 20th, 2021 Heather's life, and her family's life changed forever. Heather was walking into Costco when suddenly and out of nowhere a car reversed into her and pinned her against another car. I will let Heather tell the story but what proceeds from that event has been inspiring, amazing, jaw dropping, and any other word you can think of. Most of all, it has shown what the power of positive thinking the love of family and friends can do. (It also was the inspiration of a pretty cool kit!).

Our two-year anniversary is here! We cannot thank our loyal listeners enough for two years of support, love, and listens. We started this podcast as a passion project in the early stages of Covid, and with your help, have grown it to new heights. We'll always stay true to our core of discussing some of our favorite things: craft beer, the latest business news, and sports & entertainment across the world. Thanks for listening, we love you all! We bring back two all-time guests to celebrate our two years of existence, and we crown them House Enterprise Hall of Famers. Dave Silverman (3:04) nearly had his livelihood as a sports photographer taken away from him when Covid hit. Now, two years after he became the first ever BBB guest, he rejoins the show with too many gigs to count. We discuss going zero-to-a hundred after sports started again, the Patriots' future with Mac Jones, Tom Brady's dilemma in Tampa Bay, and much more. John Fanta (57:21) is everyone's favorite college basketball announcer, and for good reason. After years of hard work, he found his way to millions of cable TV sets this year, getting the call for nationally-televised broadcasts of Big East basketball this year. We welcome John back to the show as a four-time guest. John tells us the stories of his favorite basketball moments this year, including breaking the news of Jay Wright's retirement and calling games with legendary analyst Bill Raftery. We discuss Cleveland sports, the DeShaun Watson & Baker Mayfield saga, and the NBA's problem with effort. Fun fact: John also holds the record for most beers consumed in an episode, but sadly that record was not touched today. POSITIVITY CORNER: Charlie Capalbo showed the world what it meant to be a fighter. The 23-year-old passed away on Sunday after a five-year battle with cancer, but left a lasting impact on the world for all across the nation to remember. We shine light on the incredible stuff that Sigma Chi at Bryant University is doing this week to becoming 'The Generation To End Cancer'. We're proud to present Manscaped as our latest partner!

Mike Ortoll's world was turned upside down when his daughter Christine started abusing drugs and alcohol. Christine found recovery for several years, but sadly suffered a relapse and passed away from a fentanyl overdose in late 2020. In grieving his daughter, Mike started to think about how he could share his experience with other families facing addiction. Through a series of high-profile documentary films, including the Bowden Dynasty Film and another film documenting Christine's story, Mike and a few of his Sigma Chi Fraternity Brothers are now providing support to the Collegiate Recovery Program at Florida State University (FSU), called LIFT. Mike also started the Christine Ortoll Recovery Organization to raise awareness, share resources, and lead a national “call to action” across the country of changing the conversation about addiction and recovery.The CDC has reported that more than 100,000 Americans died of a drug overdose in a 12 month period from 2020 to 2021, and many of those deaths have been attributed to Fentanyl. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine. Fentanyl is often times added to heroin to increase its potency, or to be disguised as highly potent heroin. Many users believe they are purchasing heroin and don't know that they are actually purchasing fentanyl – which often results in overdose deaths.Christine Ortoll Recovery OrganizationAssociation of Recovery in Higher EducationLIFT at Florida State University (FSU)Center for Health Advocacy Wellness at FSUSubstance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)www.tpoftampa.comwww.thepointisrecoverypodcast.comwww.facebook.com/TurningPointofTampawww.twitter.com/TurningPointTPAwww.instagram.com/turningpointtpawww.youtube.com/user/TurningPointofTampawww.linkedin.com/company/turning-point-of-tampa-inc
