LIFE INSURANCE FRAUD FOR FUN & PROFIT "This following is a Fictionalized True Crime Story of Insurance Fraud from an Expert who explains why Insurance Fraud is a “Heads I Win, Tails You Lose” situation for Insurers. The story is one of many designed to help the public Understand How Insurance Fraud in America is Costing Everyone who Buys Insurance Thousands of Dollars Every year and Why Insurance Fraud is Safer and More Profitable for the ­­­Perpetrators than any Other Crime." “George,” Adam said, “The only way we can get out of this financial mess is our life insurance policies.” “I don't want to die to collect,” George said. “Neither do I,” Adam replied. “But I still want to collect.” “Do you propose to murder me.” “No, George, I propose that we find a homeless person who physically resembles one of us and kill him. We can plant identification on the corpse and then share in the $6,000,000 double indemnity payment.” “My,” replied George, “that's a brilliant, although evil and criminal, plan.” “I see no other way out. It's either the death of a useless human being or total financial catastrophe for us.” “Adam, they have a death penalty in this state.” “So, what, the plan is perfect. No one will know. We'll retire in luxury.” “Okay, I'll go along with it, but I don't like it. This is dangerous.” The partners began to travel skid row. They needed a homeless person who physically resembled one of them in height, weight and coloring. It took them a week to find the right person. They befriended him with a bottle of wine and a free meal. They told him that they had just completed a twelve-step program and part of that program was to help a person in need. Together, they took the homeless person to Adam's house. The partners washed off the grime in Adam's massive master bath, dressed him in Adam's clothes, and outfitted him with accessories until he looked like a Century City lawyer about to meet an important client. Although she considered Adam to be a prodigious lover, the young lady was more interested in cash than love. From the hotel, she drove directly to the West Los Angeles station of the Los Angeles Police Department and introduced herself to a detective. She knew that a life insurance claim had been made and wanted the police to know that the person whose murder they were investigating was presently sound asleep in his hotel room at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. She explained to them how Adam, after twenty minutes of horizontal Rhumba, explained to her how he had defrauded an insurance company out of $6,000,000. She explained to the police that she would never be a party to such a crime and wanted it noted in their report that she was the source of the information and the person to whom any rewards posted by the insurance company should be paid. Adam and George were arrested and tried for the murder of Fuzzy as well as several counts of insurance fraud. The testimony of the young lady, the presence of Adam and the Los Angeles Airport recording of George's license plate on entry and exit from the airport parking lot made their defense impossible. They were convicted. Adam and George are now spending the remainder of their lives in the State Penitentiary. The insurer recovered $4,000,000 of the $6,000,000 (George and Adam had lived well for that year and a half) and paid the lustful young woman a $400,000 reward. She lived happily ever after.

Asking you to remember this US legal 4 letter acronym. RICO. R I C O. It stands for Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organization. This is what organized crime figures have been charged with Former Prosecutors like Rudy Giuliani gained convictions of mob bosses on racketeering chargers. People die. And Reputations die. But Irony lives forever. Irony of Ironies. Rudy Giuliani is now among a yacht load of people charged in Georgia with multiple felonies including Racketeering and it need to be said the most famous among the charged is Donald Trump. There are those who say so what Trump is charged every week. The latest charges are different. They aren't federal. Trump if he goes back to the white house can pardon himself of federal charges - not state charges. If he begins serving time in a State Penitentiary in Georgia the Election of 2024 cannot be a Get out of Jail card for Donald Trump. And by the way there is mandatory minimum sentence if he is convicted on RICO - a 5 yrs mandatory minimum. If convicted on everything he is being charged with, he'll spend the rest of his so called natural life in the bucket. One more thing. The Georgia grand jury isn't the second or third to indict Trump. This is Grand Jury #4. And relatively few Republicans are saying Throw the bum out. Republicans still fear his voters, his fans, his cult so most name brand Republicans are little more than an obedient choir of crickets. Don't look now. But China is slowing down. The world's second largest economy - not to mention a very important customer to many countries around the world including Canada is slowing down. China is much too big to fail. But world markets are paying attention. It's affecting stock markets in Asia Europe the US and Canada and it's also dampening the Oil market. I don't want to turn this feature into a data dump. But I will tell you that unemployment among the young in China is above 21 percent - highly elevated for any orderly society. History informs us that nothing brings disorder faster than millions of bored out of work and hungry young people. In this country the PM and his wife and kids are on vacay - together - an issue for some after the recently announced decision of a separation agreement in their marriage. Should separating couples take vacations with the children asks the Ottawa Citizen, a once respected Canadian newspaper.

The high school baseball player hung a homemade motivational sign on the wall of his bedroom.  It read Brandon Puffer will be a Major League Baseball player. Indeed, Puffer made it to what ballplayers call “The Show.”  Only to fall from the Bullpen to the State Penitentiary in Texas. Brandon Puffer was a pitcher on the Boston Red Sox baseball team when they broke a century-old curse and won the World Series in 2004. But four years later, a Texas jury sentenced Puffer to five years in prison. He survived the tough Texas prison system and is now out. Puffer has written a book titled, From The Bullpen To The State Pen, in which he opens up about his experience. In this episode of True Crime Reporter®, Puffer shares the story of his setbacks and come back. Puffer coaches youth and high school baseball players on how to play college and pro ball at GPSLegends, located in Central Texas near Round Rock and Georgetown. In closing, here's my reporter's recap and reflections. No matter what walk of life they came from, most of the convicted felons that I have interviewed did not comprehend that their actions had consequences. To quote Puffer, “the longer we try to ignore or run from those consequences, the more they will grow like a cancer that starts small, but eventually takes over the whole body if ignored.  You've been listening to the True Crime Reporter Podcast: Stay True. Stay Safe. And Stay Tuned for more stories from inside the crime scene tape. This is Robert Riggs Reporting. Insightful Quotes From Brandon Puffer in From The Bullpen To The State Pen: One of the devil's schemes is to make you think the only one who thinks a certain way or acts the way you do–it's a feeling of isolation, and when humans feel isolated, the mind has a tendency to go to some dark places. Our actions in this life have consequences, and the longer we try to ignore or run from those consequences, the more they will grow–like a cancer that starts small, but eventually takes over the whole body if ignored. The music we listen to, the things we watch, the games we play, and the words we speak…they all take a toll over time, and only you have the power to control what enters your mind and soul.  You have the power to make choices before the choices that will define you.

Welcome to Londonderry, New Hampshire, where "Business Is Good, Life Is Better."  Established in 1722, the town is located in Rockingham County in southern New Hampshire.  The town was named after Londonderry in northern Ireland after a successful petition by local Scots Irish immigrants.   Three years before the town was established, the first potato grown in the US was harvested in Londonderry.   Linen making was an early industry in Londonderry.  Londonderry linen was considered to be the finest linen produced in New England and is reported to have been worn by both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.  By the early 1800's apple's became a major crop in the area and are now sold worldwide.  The town has been called home by a number of notable people including Ocean Born Mary and James Wilson.  Dr. Jess introduces us to these interesting characters in this week's Town Tidbits.  We hope you enjoy our trip to Londonderry!

HIDDEN DEMONS: Evil Visits A Small New England Town A father, his daughter, and a brave young girl thwarted criminals whose escalating hidden demons led them to bolder and more risky acts of violence in Margery Metzger's Debut True Crime. On January 7, 1994, residents of Berkshire Hills woke up to a typical snowy winter day in the majestic woods of Western Massachusetts. The quaint New England towns, the idyllic scenery and the people who lived there could have stepped out of a Norman Rockwell painting. That day, a trial began for college student, Wayne Lo, who celebrated his 18th birthday by purchasing an assault rifle and opening fire on campus—killing two and wounding four others. Elsewhere, two young girls were accosted in the changing room at the local pool. Another young girl narrowly escaped being abducted at gunpoint on her way to school. Her quick thinking later resulted in profound repercussions regarding another case—that of a young boy who vanished from a strip mall. All these events appeared unrelated, and it seemed to police agencies and local residents that the world had suddenly gone mad. After all, they told each other, “These things don't happen here!” In chilling, dramatic narrative HIDDEN DEMONS: Evil Visits a Small New England Town, Margery B. Metzger details these events and reveals a savage serial killer, Lewis Lent, Jr., who lurked in the shadows. It was the bravery of a father and daughter, and the remarkable work of law enforcement officers, that would turn the table.

Happy Thursday, and (for those that celebrate) happy almost Christmas! What could put you in the holiday spirit more than hearing about galloping gallows, prison riots, and a possible ghost clown? We don't know either.

The Idaho State Historical Society is looking for pictures of Boise's old State Penitentiary as part of a new project. Jacey Brain, Visitor Services Coordinator at the Idaho State Historical Society and Interim Historic Sites Administrator, Anthony Parry joins Idaho Matters to tell us more.

Sean Kelley, Senior Vice President, Director of Interpretation at East Eastern State Penitentiary discussed the history of one the most famo ern State Penitentiary discussed the history of one the most famous and expensive prisons in the world.  Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world's first true "penitentiary," a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of prisoners.   Designed to look like a castle on the outside and church within, it influenced builders across the world as its methods fell out of favor.  Its solitary cells once held many of America's most notorious lawbreakers, including bank robber "Slick Willie" Sutton and Al Capone.   It closed in 1972, falling into disrepair as the city went through plans to either to replace, rebuild and demolish it.   Finally opened as an historic site, today Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site interprets the legacy of American criminal justice reform, from the nation's founding through to the present day, with installations and displays aiming to spark conversation and reflection.  The site also employs the formerly incarcerated, as guides and interpreters and in on-going restoration projects to get them into the pipeline for good-paying trades jobs.    The site is open daily except for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Day and Thanksgiving.  Admission includes “The Voices of Eastern State" Audio Tour, narrated by actor Steve Buscemi; a Guide-Led Tour and discussion; hands-on experiences and the critically-acclaimed artist installations and award-winning exhibits. Sean was excited to share the return of their annual award-winning Halloween themed evening event, Halloween Nights.  This year visitors can travel at their own pace, enjoyed five rooms of frights, themed bars and lounges with live entertainment.  It also offers the rare opportunity to tour some of the more popular historic tour experiences by night.  For more information and tickets visit EASTERNSTATE.org

Louisiana's State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola, is one of the largest maximum security adult prisons in the country. There are 4,400 prisoners at Angola currently serving life without parole in a state with the highest incarceration rate in the U.S. It is also notorious for its brutal treatment of prisoners. Last month, The Takeaway discussed Louisiana's Governor Jon Bell Edwards proposal to move teens from a juvenile detention center to a facility on the grounds of the former slave labor camp.  Advocates and families filed a federal lawsuit to block this move saying it would be dangerous for the teens and young adults, and a federal judge placed a temporary hold on the plan. Now, a federal judge has lifted the stay, and the state can now move ahead with a plan to relocate about two dozen incarcerated young people from the Bridge City Center for Youth to a facility on Angola's grounds. The facility is a building previously designed to hold adult death row inmates. The ruling allows for the transfer of children as young as 12. At a press conference in July, Governor Edwards said they would not have any direct contact with adult inmates at Angola, and would be housed in a separate facility, but parents and advocates remained worry what sending children as young as 12 to a maximum-security prison would only further the isolation and trauma wrapped up in childhood incarceration. We spoke with Gina Womack, Executive Director of Families and Friends of Louisiana's Incarcerated Children, and we also spoke with a mother of an incarcerated youth at Bridge City Center for Youth in Bridge City, Louisiana. Check out our previous segments covering Angola: Louisiana's Juvenile Detention Crisis.

Murder of Homeless Man Pays Fraudsters https://zalma.com/blog Barry Zalma, Esq., CFE presents videos so you can learn how insurance fraud is perpetrated and what is necessary to deter or defeat insurance fraud. This Video Blog of True Crime Stories of Insurance Fraud with the names and places changed to protect the guilty are all based upon investigations conducted by me and fictionalized to create a learning environment for claims personnel, SIU investigators, insurers, police, and lawyers better understand insurance fraud and weapons that can be used to deter or defeat a fraudulent insurance claim. What Happens When the Market Drops George and Adam were partners. Their business, consulting with aerospace manufacturers on preparing the reports required by the Department of Defense, had been immensely successful. For the first five years of business their billings exceeded $3,000,000 a year. They lived well. Like the average Americans they were, they spent every dollar they made and about 10% more than they made. They had no savings. They did have large credit card balances. Because they knew how important each was to the success of the partnership, they purchased Key man life insurance policies with limits of $3,000,000 each from Trustme Life Insurance Company. In 2008 the bottom fell out of the aerospace industry with the election of President Obama who cancelled space programs. Their customers stopped hiring consultants. The billings of the partnership shrank like Alice after she bit the mushroom. A Plan to Profit From Murder Adam called Fuzzy into Adam's office at 8:00 that night. He asked Fuzzy to sit in his desk chair and shot him in the face with a 12-gauge shotgun at close range. Adam discharged one barrel on each hand to eliminated all of Fuzzy's fingerprints. Adam then placed his wallet with all its money, credit cards and other identification in the inside coat pocket of his old suit, removed anything that might identify Fuzzy as being someone other than Adam and then drove to the airport in George's 750 IL BMW leaving the Jaguar in the garage. At the airport, Adam, using cash, purchased a ticket in the name of Adam Smith to New Orleans, Louisiana. He had already purchased, from street vendors on Hoover Street in Downtown Los Angeles a driver's license in the name of Adam Smith with a birth date five years earlier than Adam's true date of birth, a social security card, a MasterCard and Visa all issued in the name of Adam Smith. The Crime Fails Adam and George were arrested and tried for the murder of Fuzzy as well as several counts of insurance fraud. The testimony of the young lady, the presence of Adam and the Los Angeles Airport recording of George's license plate on entry and exit from the airport parking lot made their defense impossible. They were convicted. Adam and George are now spending the remainder of their lives in the State Penitentiary. The insurer recovered $4,000,000 of the $6,000,000 (George and Adam had lived well for that year and a half) and paid the lustful young woman a $400,000 reward. She lived happily ever after.

Five southern Zak-Bagans-esque brothers play dominoes with a ghost. Yep. You read that correctly. These are the special guests in this week's episode. Zoey tells us about the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary that started in a horrible way, continued to have a horrible history, and then was shut down. It was investigated by the crew of the TV show, Ghost Asylum; the aforementioned southern men. This episode is also an honorary mention for the oh-so-special Haunted Boozy Places series. While it is known for being a prison, it is currently home to a distillery, which is home to drinks like "End of the Line Bloody Mary". But mostly, we talk about the terrible, lawless conditions that happened within the prison walls that led to over 100,000 deaths in just over 100 years. But before we get to that point, Robin walks us through some of the most haunted places in the south, and we're proud to say we've covered some of them. Sources: https://hauntedhospitality.wordpress.com/2022/02/22/ep-48-haunted-boozy-places-pt-2-5-the-brushy-mountain-state-penitentiary/

Located in Boise, ID,  the Old Idaho State Penitentiary was a functional prison from 1872 to 1973. It started out as an almost stereotypical wild-west-looking jail, originally known as the Territorial Prison because Idaho was not made a state until July of 1890. Construction began on the first building in 1870 as a single cell jailhouse. Over the years the complex grew, one building at a time, all of them surrounded by a 17 foot tall sandstone wall. Most of the buildings within the walls of the penitentiary were built almost exclusively by the inmates living within. The buildings were constructed with rocks from the quarries nearby which is part of the reason why so many of the original buildings are still standing today. During the course of its history as a prison the Old Idaho State Penitentiary housed over 13,000 prisoners. Of these prisoners 215 of them were female, 10 were executed and more than 500 escaped, although only 90 of the 500 were able to remain at large for any substantial portion of time. Listen to hear more!Sources: https://www.thedeadhistory.com/blog/old-idaho-state-penitentiaryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Idaho_State_Penitentiaryhttps://www.travelchannel.com/shows/ghost-adventures/articles/old-idahos-haunted-historyhttp://hauntedhouses.com/idaho/idaho-state-penitentiary/https://historylink.org/File/8238https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/idaho/idahos-jack-the-ripper-id/https://www.aetv.com/shows/the-lowe-files/exclusives/lowe-cation-old-idaho-state-penitentiaryhttps://www.nytimes.com/1971/08/16/archives/idaho-inmates-are-kept-in-cells-after-model-prisoner-is-slain.htmlMusic: nojisuman2525 from Pixabay

Both federal and state prisons punish and correct the behavior of criminals. The biggest federal prison vs. state prison difference lies in the type of crime committed. Federal prisons are for individuals who break federal laws while state prisons are for those who break state laws. Although each system is different there are many similarities. This week we welcome our guest Mr James Jones and Lisa Riley from The Reinvention Center to discuss these differences. The Reinvention Center is a non profit organization designed to assist our clients with positively reintegrating with society after being in the system or curbing at risk young adults from entering the system all together. Mr James Jones, President/ Director of The Reinvention Center, Paralegal, Podcast host, Author of the book: “Getting Arrested: The Insiders Guide to The Federal Legal System” The purpose of this book is to answer a lot of questions one may have or to give some direction. This book gives break downs of court rules, sample motions, and other things that will be helpful. Mr Jones spent 22 years in the Federal Prison System. He has filed motions in the District Courts, Courts of Appeals, and Supreme Court and challenged many procedures and policies of the Bureau of Prisons. Mr Jones have been an advocate for incarcerated individuals for decades and he brings a wealth of knowledge every Sunday evening on his podcast “The Growth Hour.” Ms Lisa Riley, also of the Reinvention Center; is from the State of Ohio. She co-host The Growth hour podcast and is a strong Advocate for the Wrongful Convicted. Lisa assist women and men from all over The United States with reentry. Her goal is to help men and women come home to rebuild stronger and better than ever! Ms Riley was formerly incarcerated in the Ohio Women's State Penitentiary in Ohio for a drug charge so she's very familiar with the prison system, wrongful conviction and the need for Reform. She feels it's a Blessing to advocate and being a voice for the voiceless.

Special Guest: Kristy SumnerIn 2014, Dr. Kristy Sumner coupled her passion for travel, history and the paranormal when she formed Soul Sisters Paranormal, an all-female team, made up of Sumner, her two sisters and two friends. The investigators of Soul Sisters Paranormal travel to some of the most historic and, reportedly, haunted locations in the U.S. in an attempt to determine for themselves if spirit activity does exist and to highlight the rich history of each location. Individually, each member of the team is an accomplished professional in her respective field, and each holds a Masters, PhD or JD degree. To date, the team has traveled to and investigated numerous US locations, including: the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (WV), The Lizzie Borden House (MA), the Villisca Ax Murder House (IA), the St. Augustine Lighthouse (FL), Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary (TN) and many others.  Prior to forming Soul Sister Paranormal, Dr. Sumner, who holds a PhD in Public Affairs with an emphasis on Criminal Justice, was a senior director for a Registered Traveler company focused on biometric clearances for the traveling public, she was a senior consultant for a biometric credentialing company, and she was college professor at Metro State College of Denver and the University of Central Florida.  Show Notes: 00:00 Kristy opens the episode with a part of their video when they investigated the grounds of Fort Mifflin.   00:58 Intro to Roaming the Earth and bio of Kristy Sumner, the paranormal investigator who travels the country investigating haunted locations. 3:28 Kristy talks about the excerpt she read and Fort Mifflin. She explains the importance of the fort during the revolutionary war.  6:50 Drea expresses her fear of the paranormal and Kristy tells us about the team's lack of being afraid despite the startling noises, voices and other paranormal experiences that they witness. Kristy explains that they approach every investigation from a scientific approach where they attempt to debunk the claims before deeming it paranormal or unexplainable.  8:28 Drea asks about the Fort MIfflin experience where a shadow figure broke the laser grid on camera. Kristy and her team saw it happen in front of them and successfully capture this remarkable unexplainable experience in front of the camera. Kristy shares the very active experience of staying overnight at Fort Mifflin and the interesting approaches they have in order to speak to these entities.   12:29 Drea asks Kristy the reason why and how “Soul Sisters” started traveling the country for these paranormal investigations. It all started with the idea of going on a girls getaway that turned into a visit to the Moundsville State Penitentiary in West Virginia.  14:40 Drea asks Kristy about the kind of gear they bring on these investigations. 17:40 Kristy shares her favorite haunted location - The old Gilchrist County Jail in Trenton, Florida. She explains the small footprint of the prison built in 1928. She found this location to be very active and she shares some of her stories.They talk even further about the shadow figure that walked across the hallway twice, broke a laser grid that was set up and when asked to cross again, it did. 21:28 Kristy shares more of the things she has seen - Balls Moving, the laser grids moving, k2 meters that measure energy go off. She explains another paranormal experience at Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, the former maximum security prison where they once held James Earl Ray, the man who shot Dr. Martin Luther King.    24:00 Drea explains her own experiences with the hauntings happenings in her home after her mom's recent death.   25:02 Kristy tells us her theories of why she believes an entity stays on earth and becomes a poltergeist. She also shares a tip on how to remove them from your home.  27:16 Kristy...
