So, my grandfather owned a French bistro, so I kind of grew up in a restaurant as a kid, and he passed away when I was pretty young, and didn't really know how to deal with his passing. Didn't really understand grief and everyone was really upset. My family, my mom, my dad, my sister were all upset and I didn't really know what to do cuz I wasn't feeling upset, but I didn't know how to deal with it. And my mom's like, you, everyone deals with grief differently, so you just need to choose what you wanna do and how you wanna deal with it. And I said, well, I'm just gonna be a chef like grandpa was. Oh, cool. And that was really kind of like, I set my sights on it and I never looked back. So tell us about your cooking career. You cooked at the French Laundry, Bouchon, and Per Se Yeah, so I started cooking at 14 professionally and worked my way through some of local restaurants and met a chef when I was in high school, who was an instructor at the New England Culinary Institute, and he worked for Thomas Keller at his original restaurant in New York called Rakel. He helped me get set up going to the New England Culinary Institute. Which, which is where I went to school in Vermont. And my first externship, from the way that school worked was you did six months at school, six months as an externship working in a professional kitchen. And then back to school for six months and then back out in the field for six more months. And then you graduated. So my first externship was in New York working for David Bouley at the original Bouley on Duane and Houston. And that was my introduction to fine dining. When did you have time to pick up fly fishing? When I was working at the French Laundry we started the project of Buchon and me and another chef friend Jeff Cerciello, we were going to be the sous chefs at Buchon. So we, we were helping with that project and everything was going really well, but it was kind of slow-moving, you know, building a restaurant out and starting it from the ground. , it was slow-moving. So we had, we had a lot of free time. I mean, not a lot, but more than normal. And he asked me if I wanted to go up and fish go fish with him up on Hat Creek. Which is, you know, a beautiful Spring Creek in Northern California. I had grown up fishing as a kid. My grandmother used to take me flounder fishing off the dock on Long Island as a kid. And, and then we moved to Pennsylvania when I was a little bit older and we had ponds in every corner. And I used to use my spin rod and catch bass left and right. And that was kind of like a normal summer routine for me. So I loved fishing. But I'd never fly fished before. And I caught my first fish on a dry fly and that was it. I mean, on the way home, I overdrew my bank account and bought a fly rod a fly. waiters and boots at the fly shop in Redding. I remember it specifically cause I overdrew my account. Right, right, right. But I was dead set on like, I'm gonna keep doing this. It's, yeah. So it's, it's a great sport to participate in. Yeah. And then that summer, like we took another, like, we, we all mountain bike and we took. A mountain biking trip up to Tahoe. And I remember one day we were, we were gonna do the Crest Trail and I was like, I'm gonna take the day off from biking and I'm gonna go fishing. And I went out to the East Carson and, and, and set myself up with a bob or rig for the first time and caught my first Subsurface on a fly rod, on a flash, a flashback, pheasant tail. And then I was just like, now I'm in it. So it was very cool. It was pretty awesome. And that was, that was the beginning. Then a couple of years later, what happened is I went to New York at that point and went to Per Se, and all my fly fishing gear went into a bin. So what was the inspiration for Travel Creel? How did those two things mesh into what you're doing today? So, a friend of mine has an outfitting company AC Fly Fishing out of Redding. And Anthony had approached me about helping him with a travel trip going to Louisiana for Redfish, and he said, you want to come along and you can go fishing and you'd cook for everybody? And I'm like yeah, dude. Like I get to basically go do this saltwater trip for free, right? Get to do some fishing and you know, all I gotta do is cook, like I can handle that. So it was a great introduction to travel and hospitality with travel. And I did it for a few years with him. We would do it every year. We'd set it all up and so he would just do like one, one international trip a year. It was one trip that I did with him. The whole thing is with saltwater fly fishing, there's no guarantee with fishing. And when you're in the business of creating experiences for people, you gotta work on your controllables. And the controllables are hospitality and you know, a good bed to sleep in, nice meals. All those things are controllable when the fishing's not right. And that was like the premise behind it. That's what we talked about a lot. And why it worked and it made sense to me and I was able to kind of excel in that world of knowing how to talk to fisherman because I was one of 'em. Right? On top of being able to create a great meal for them. And it just made a really good vibe in, in the lodge, you know? It's great. Yeah. And now Travel Creel came to life. Tell everybody what Travel Creel is. What do you do? So basically right around when Covid started, we had a trip to Louisiana planned. And what happened is we had the guides lined up, the lodges lined up, and then the clients bailed out because of Covid. And we kind of hit the panic button a little bit, what are we gonna do? And I was like, well, let me reach out to all my clients. I had started working at Del Gado and I had a kid and I got married I transitioned into guiding because it was a way for me to go fishing still Right. And make money. And my wife would be like, yeah, yeah, you can go 'cause you're making money. So I bought a drift boat. I learned how to row a drift boat and I started, on my weekends going up to Redding and guiding the Sac for trout and ended up getting a permit on the Trinity River and guiding the Trinity. Then that led to me guiding for coastal steelhead as well. The whole premise behind my guiding business was, I can't guarantee you're gonna catch a bunch of fish when we go steelhead fishing. But I guarantee you're gonna have a great lunch. So I had all these clients, right? So I told Anthony, listen, let me reach out to some of my guys and see if I can put together this group and we can still go. Literally in like 24 hours got the trip filled up. And that's when it kind of clicked in my head, like, maybe this is something I should be doing. Right. Maybe you know, I could change my role from being just the guy that goes along and fishes and cooks to the guy who puts the trips together. And really step up the hospitality. Take that killer lunch and turn it into a killer experience. And that's where Travel Creel was born. I wanna create a business where I can create these experiences, not just in Louisiana, but all over the country, and possibly all over the world. We should let everybody know as we're talking that Josh was out for a walk with his daughter and dog, so that's why you're activity in the background. So what are some of the most, let's start with most exotic places that you've taken a group to and kind of had to cook, camp, cook kind of thing? You know, I haven't really done much camp cooking. As far as these trips go, I try to make 'em a little bit more upscale. Where I try to find like a nice place for everyone to congregate. Most recently I think probably the out there place has been San Carlos in Baja for fishing, for Rooster Fish and Marlin. You know, it's kind of like the wild west of Baja. It's like old school, Baja. And as far as like logistics go for me and putting a trip together, it's probably been the most challenging, but most rewarding at the same time. So how do you, is it still word of mouth or how do you market the business? I started with just the clients that I have. And it's, you know, I'm only as good as the last trip I did and every, every little trip I do the word travels and, and you know, I have a client then tell four or five of his buddies and say, you gotta come with me on this next trip. and then those guys tell their friends and it's, it's a lot of word of mouth. And the other, the other part is I have a really great network of friends that are in the fly fishing industry that are all very supportive of what I'm doing. A lot of independent guides. I mean, you and I are talking today because of Dave Neal, Dave Neal. Shout out to Dave great guide. Yeah. He's a great friend and independent guide and supports what I do and, and has eaten my food and loves it. And someone like that I can reach out to him with a trip and be like, Hey, listen, I got two spots left to fill on this trip. and if you fill those spots, then I'll throw you a bone. And that kind of, that kind of stuff is really helpful too. And it's, it's come into play quite a few times, so that's perfect. Do you work all, do you also work with any fly shop? I have been working with George Revelle at Lost Coast Outfitters in San Francisco. So he basically puts together all the lists of gear and everything. I send it out to clients and then they get to contact George directly or the shop perfect, and get all those items they need for a trip. And in turn it's a very simple partnership where he helps me put those lists together. I promote him and he helps me fill seats. Do you get to do any other outdoor activities? No, probably not. You know, my kids have been wanting to go snowboarding this year and we're probably gonna get up there and do that. You know, a lot of everything we do is right here. We live in Sonoma County and we have, we have a big boat that we take out on the lake, or we take out in the bay. The kids like to go be pulled around in a tube or go water skiing. We try to get out on the boat as much as we can when there's nice weather. And we love bike rides. We do a little hiking here and there. Do you have any suggestions or advice for folks wanting to get into the fly fishing biz or outdoor biz? I think just get out there and experience it and get on the water and you don't know until you go, you gotta get out there and, and experience it and meet people and network. If you're looking to be a guide, get on that water. Learn from the guys that know the water the best. Obviously learn how to row a boat if you're gonna be running a drift boat. Exactly. Do you have any daily routines to keep your sanity? I'd say as far as daily routines mine is getting in my truck and turning it on some music and driving 45 minutes over the hill. A beautiful drive over through vineyards and the rolling hills here. In that 45-minute ride to and from work, I accomplish more in my head than I do accomplish when I'm at home or at work. It gives me a chance to clear my head. It gives me a chance to think about ideas. A lot of people ask me like, when do you have time to come up with ideas for some of your new dishes and stuff? I'm like, most of those ideas come to me while I'm driving to or from work. Do you read a lot? Do you have any favorite books? Books to give as? My mom was an English teacher and when you presented that question in email, I was like, I can't wait to get to it. I was kind of pushed to read as a kid. I'd say the most recent book that I read is Lords of the Fly. And you know, to me that that book sucked me right into that story. And I actually got to go to Homosassa last year and meet some of the players in that book. Since you're a cook, is there a favorite piece of gear that all of us that cook outside should have in our camp kitchen? Yeah. I think everyone should have, a Japanese Mandolin. They're not expensive. They're like 30 bucks. You can get 'em on Amazon. Watch your fingers cuz they're sharp. But like, it just is a game changer, especially when you're not in the home kitchen. If you're doing some outdoor cooking, then you can slice a slice, a cucumber or carrot, whatever, like within seconds. Okay. And it just adds to being able to work quicker and more efficiently when, you know, chopping onions or shallots or things like that. As we wrap up, is there anything else you'd like to say to our listeners? I'm just really stoked to be here talking to you about what I'm doing and if anyone's interested in doing a fun adventure and has a passion for fishing and fine food and great company to look us up and check out what we're doing.

In this episode, we welcome Elizabeth Azzuz, Director of Traditional Fire for the Cultural Fire Management Council [https://www.culturalfire.org/]. Join us as Elizabeth shares her profound insights on cultural fire practices from the Yurok and Karuk traditions and their significance in promoting ecological balance and cultural sovereignty. We delve into the historical context of fire suppression, the urgent need for Indigenous-led fire management practices, and the deep-rooted connection between fire and the ecosystem. Discover how cultural burning not only enhances wildlife habitats but also fosters a sense of community responsibility and respect for Mother Earth. Support the Podcast via PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LBGXTRM292TFC&source=url Since time immemorial, many Indigenous peoples have used fire to tend and care for the lands, to help the ecosystem and all inhabitants of the forest to flourish together in balance, and to sustain culture for future generations. Given the growing urgency around climate change, the greater scope and intensity of fires, and the long legacy of colonization and its impacts upon our environment, cultural burning is now being more widely embraced and recognized for its value — this after 100 years of fire suppression and criminalization of Indigenous practices around fire and tending the land in a prescient and balanced way. We had her on the show in 2020 to discuss her work using Traditional Native Yurok and Karuk methods of what is called cultural burning to protect forests and local communities, heal degraded ecosystems, and reestablish forest-grown food, medicine, and products, so check our archives for Episode 83.

With several other murders to follow, the series of Fort Worth crimes dubbed “The February Sl@yings” by newspaper reporters began in 1967 with victim Mildred May. When her husband left for Dallas on the night of February 3rd, 1967, Mildred had planned to stay in to nurse her headache. The ailment, however, must have passed, since she was seen at El Matador Club in West Fort Worth that night. After that, presumably, her car broke down and Mildred headed to a payphone on foot to get help. On February 4th, her body was found several miles away on a Trinity River levee. She'd been badly beaten, r@ped, and str@ngled. If the cope were ever close to finding Mildred May's k!ller, they never let on to the public.If you have any information about the murder of Mildred May, please contact Fort Worth police department cold case unit at 817-392-4307. 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.

Register Today!   Brian Kilpatrick is the Chief Operating Officer of Trinity Park Conservancy. With nearly four decades of experience in the attractions and hospitality industry, Brian has built a career that spans multiple disciplines, including food and beverage, retail, finance, and operations. His journey began at SeaWorld, where he spent 35 years, and later took him to leadership roles at Anakeesta and the Artis—Naples performing arts center. Now, at Trinity Park Conservancy, he is focused on creating accessible and sustainable green spaces for the Dallas community. In this interview, Brian talks about building green space intentionally, being a good listener, and getting to know the community. Building Green Space Intentionally "We are building Dallas's Central Park." Trinity Park Conservancy's mission is to transform the Trinity River into a connected and accessible green space for the Dallas community. Brian emphasizes the importance of designing Harold Simmons Park with clear intent, ensuring it serves as more than just a recreational area—it's a space for nature, conservation, and community gathering. The project spans 250 acres and is designed to unite Dallas through a series of scenic overlooks, improved pedestrian access, and a deep focus on sustainability. Drawing from his theme park background, Brian applies best practices in operational planning to ensure the park remains well-maintained and inviting for years to come. Being a Good Listener "I've learned over the years, and again, I think it's evolved into my style today, that you really have to be inclusive of what you're going to use from a knowledge base and experience base to make a decision." Throughout his career, Brian has adapted his leadership style to focus on active listening and inclusivity. Early in his career, he admits to being more assertive, but over time, he realized the power of truly understanding the perspectives of others before making decisions. At Trinity Park Conservancy, listening plays a central role in ensuring the project aligns with community needs. Whether it's gathering feedback from stakeholders or engaging in conversations with local residents, Brian stresses the importance of hearing different viewpoints to create a space that reflects the desires of those it serves. His ability to synthesize insights from various sources, including community members and industry peers, has been instrumental in shaping the vision for Harold Simmons Park. Getting to Know the Community "I can tell you without a doubt, if I walked you through the park plan today, the elements of the park are what the community told us they wanted." Brian recognizes that for Trinity Park Conservancy to be successful, it must reflect the unique needs of the people it serves. Understanding the historical and socioeconomic landscape of Dallas, he and his team have taken a grassroots approach to community engagement. By meeting with residents, attending local board meetings, and walking the grounds himself, Brian has built connections that help inform the park's development. The Conservancy's commitment to listening to the community has led to a park design that directly incorporates their input, ensuring it fosters inclusivity and unity. Brian's leadership ensures that Harold Simmons Park is not just a project but a shared vision with the people of Dallas.   Brian Kilpatrick can be reached via LinkedIn or by email at Brian.Kilpatrick@TPCDallas.org.

HOUR ONE: “Jerry Meets A Sasquatch” *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, “The incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island… it's a very special place, with a cosmic presence.” What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947? (The Maurey Island Incident) *** Whether you're a true believer or one of those skeptics, stories of spirits haunting the living from the confines of a Ouija board can chill you to the bone, and make you think twice before communicating with entities from another dimension. (True And Disturbing Ouija Board Stories)==========HOUR TWO: Did she drown? Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don't know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children's science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real.

In this episode of the Curious Realm host Christopher Jordan travels to Jefferson, Texas for the 2024 Texas Bigfoot Conference. Our first guest is wildlife conservationist and host of Dark Outdoors, Chester Moore. We discuss the importance of wildlife conservation and passing on a love of the outdoors to the next generation. We also discuss the recent appearance of tagged Great White sharks in the Gulf of Mexico and hat this resurgence means for the long-targeted creature. Our next guest is Cryptozoologist Ryan Edwards. We discuss his latest book Beyond Bigfoot: The Other Unrecognized Primates of North America. What are the possibilities that there are various regional forms of Sasquatch across the United States, and could we be misidentifying the famed cryptid with other species? Up next we have researcher and author Mitchel Whitington on to talk about his latest book Marion County Monsters: Cryptids in Northeast Texas. We discuss a case in the local Jefferson, TX area that goes back to the 1960s which involves a young man having a truly frightening encounter with a Bigfoot. Our next guest is researcher, and host of the popular show Tex's Front Porch, Tex Wesson. We discuss the world of cryptids and paranormal, and the phenomena known as Dogman.

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/649 Presented By:  Stonefly Nets,  Visit Helena, MT,  Waters West, Togiak River Lodge Today's episode is special because we've got Bill Gammell, the creator of the Five Essentials of Fly Casting, a framework many experts swear by. Find out how dropping your right foot can improve your timing, discover the most important variable in fly casting, and get the top drill to boost your casting skills. Let's get you back on track with better line speed and loop control! Show Notes with Bill Gammel on The Five Essentials of Fly Casting.  02:08 - Bill started fly fishing at just six or seven years old, catching Bluegill with his older brother and father. His passion for fly fishing continued until college, and he recalls a time he had to switch to conventional tackle for his master's degree research. 04:40 - Bill still lives in Baytown, the same area where he grew up and where his dad greatly influenced his love for fishing. Though the area isn't ideal for fly fishing because of the murky water from the Trinity River, Bill and his family found ways to catch fish. The Five Essentials of Fly Casting 07:18 - Bill talks about how he and his dad learned fly casting together. His dad was a natural athlete with great hand-eye coordination. They used a home video camera to record expert casters like Lefty Kreh and Mel Krieger. Over time, they noticed common patterns and eventually put together what we now know as the "Five Essentials of Fly Casting." Bill said they didn't invent anything new but identified key principles that all great fly casters share. 11:02 - Bill started teaching fly casting lessons as a teenager, but it wasn't until they were asked to write a booklet for the Federation of Fly Fishers that they fully laid out the essentials. They spent two years carefully analyzing videos and got input from top tournament casters. Their work was published in the late '80s and became the foundation for the FFF's instructor program. Check out the The Five Essentials of Fly Casting. Tips for Increasing Casting Distance 20:03 - One of the most important lessons he learned was to focus on trajectory and to keep your cast more level, not too high. He also emphasizes that line speed and loop control are the foundations of distance casting. Bill said if you master those two, you'll be able to cast a full fly line without much trouble. If you want to improve your casting, Bill recommends checking out Paul Arden's Sexyloops website. It's a solid resource with articles, videos, and step-by-step methods to help you learn to cast better. Listen to the Episode 638 with Paul Arden Here. 25:48 - Bill breaks down the Five Essentials of fly casting and explains how they work together. He said he now teaches them in a new order to make more sense. The most important essential is the straight line path of the rod tip, which helps create a clean cast. 31:00 - The arc changes based on how much the rod bends, which can be affected by the length of the line and the amount of power used. A narrow arc is for short casts, and a wider arc is needed for longer casts. Check out this article by Bill Gammel on Making adjustments on the fly. 35:04 - Timing and power application are important in fly casting. Bill explains that to get the best cast, your timing needs to be spot on—starting your forward cast just as the line straightens out behind you. 37:32 - He also shares his secret to power: a smooth acceleration to a stop. This means starting slow, adding power in the middle, and then stopping quickly. The stop is key because it lets the rod transfer energy to the line. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/649  

HOUR ONE: Did she drown? Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don't know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children's science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real. (The UFO Case That Refuses to Die) *** What if creatures like gnomes and imps aren't just real – but also evil? (Nasty Gnomes, Evil Imps and Terrifying Tommyknockers)==========HOUR TWO: “Jerry Meets A Sasquatch” *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, “The incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island… it's a very special place, with a cosmic presence.” What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947? (The Maurey Island Incident) *** Whether you're a true believer or one of those skeptics, stories of spirits haunting the living from the confines of a Ouija board can chill you to the bone, and make you think twice before communicating with entities from another dimension.

The bitter tide of privatizing public lands and waters is rising fast across America. Only the actions of quietly heroic citizens can stop it. Nobody who hunted and fished the Cutoff wanted to tell the world about it. The Cutoff is also known as Creslenn Lake, a twelve-mile stretch of what used to be the Trinity River (it was “cut off” by a long-ago flood control project) between Navarro and Henderson Counties about an hour and half south of Dallas, Texas. The Cutoff has been a locals' top destination for crappie fishing, duck hunting, jug lining and just enjoying this wild corner of Texas, through multiple generations (check out the Save the Cutoff Facebook page for the comments).  Nobody dreamed that one day, a local landowner would simply declare the miles of public water his own fiefdom, hiring guards, closing roads, building illegal fences and excavating -- also illegally -- thousands of yards of dirt to block any hope of access. This is a David versus Goliath story, a battle fought on behalf of us all, by a very small band of hardworking rural Texans who simply will not lay down and take it.

Regina Chichizola, Executive Director of Save California Salmon, provides a conservation view of the issues facing the Trinity River.

In a significant development in the tragic case of 11-year-old Audrii Cunningham, a Polk County grand jury has indicted Don Steven McDougal on two counts of capital murder. Audrii was reported missing on February 15, and her body was discovered five days later in the Trinity River near Houston. McDougal, a long-time acquaintance of Audrii's father and a resident on their property, faces severe allegations linked to the young girl's death. The dual indictments reflect the serious nature of the accusations against McDougal. The first charge stems from Audrii being a minor, while the second relates to her death occurring during a supposed act of felony kidnapping. This layered approach underscores the gravity of the crime and the potential legal repercussions McDougal could face if convicted. McDougal's history with the law is troubling, highlighted by a past incident where he was accused of indecency with another child in Texas, a case that was ultimately pleaded down to enticing a minor. This allowed him to evade inclusion on the state sex offender registry. Additionally, last year McDougal faced accusations of stabbing a man, although he was never arrested due to a lack of evidence. On the morning of February 15, Audrii vanished on her way to school in Livingston. Authorities quickly focused on McDougal, who was arrested the following day on an unrelated charge but was already considered a person of interest in Audrii's disappearance. Despite joining the initial search and knocking on neighbors' doors, McDougal's involvement became more suspect, especially after being identified as the last person seen with Audrii. The discovery of Audrii's body in the Trinity River was a grim conclusion to the search. The medical examiner confirmed that she died from homicidal violence, including blunt head trauma. McDougal's presence in the child's life, coupled with the circumstances of her disappearance and death, painted a dire picture that led to his arrest and the subsequent murder charges. As the community reels from this tragedy, questions about the handling of McDougal's previous legal issues and his relationship with Audrii's family have surfaced, adding layers of complexity to an already convoluted case. With no court date currently set, the legal proceedings are expected to draw significant public and media attention, as people from Livingston and beyond seek justice for the young girl whose life was tragically cut short.

In the "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski" podcast, Tony and guest Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI Special Agent, discuss the harrowing murder of Audrey Cunningham and the subsequent reactions and decisions made by her family. Key points from the conversation include: Audrey Cunningham was tragically found dead, tied to a rock in the Trinity River, leading to charges against Don Steven McDougal, a man trusted by Audrey's family despite clear warning signs. The family's misguided efforts to pass legislation dubbed "Audrey's Law" aim to close loopholes in sex offender registries, sparked by their failure to properly vet McDougal. Despite the family's intentions, their lack of accountability and misplaced blame are heavily criticized, with Coffindaffer expressing disgust over their rationale and deflection of responsibility. The conversation reveals a disturbing pattern of naivety and denial within the family, notably ignoring McDougal's evident dangerous signs due to a misplaced sense of Christian charity. The family's lack of due diligence, including their refusal to conduct affordable background checks, is highlighted as a critical failure leading to Audrey's death. #JusticeForAudreyCunningham #AudreysLaw #MisguidedTrust #FamilyAccountability #ChristianKindnessMisinterpreted #BackgroundChecksMatter #ProtectingChildrenFailures Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski" features a heart-wrenching discussion with Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI Special Agent, about the tragic murder of 11-year-old Audrey Cunningham. Found dead in the Trinity River, roped to a rock, her case highlights a series of grave misjudgments by her family in trusting Don Steven McDougal, despite clear warning signs: Audrey Cunningham was found murdered in a horrific manner, highlighting a catastrophic lapse in judgment by her family. The family's misplaced trust in Don Steven McDougal, a man with a concerning background, including Nazi tattoos and Aryan race affiliations, underlines the dangers of overlooking evident red flags. The grandparents' effort to shift blame and seek legislative changes to sex offender registries, while well-intentioned, misses the broader issue of personal accountability in protecting vulnerable family members. The conversation delves into the grandparents' rationalization of giving McDougal a chance, their defense of some sex offenders, and their plan to close loopholes in the sex offender registry system, showcasing a disturbing detachment from their responsibility in Audrey's death. The grandparents' actions, including making T-shirts of Audrey and seeking to deflect blame onto systemic failures, rather than acknowledging their own critical errors, are critically examined. #JusticeForAudreyCunningham #MisplacedTrust #FamilyResponsibility #TragedyInLivingston #WarningSignsIgnored #SexOffenderRegistryDebate #AccountabilityInTragedy Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Audrii Cunningham's body has been found along the Trinity River after water levels were lowered, allowing detectives access.   Don Steven McDougal, 42, led investigators to the location earlier in the investigation. McDougal has now been charged with capital murder.   Don Steven McDougal has been a person of interest since the first 24 hours of Audrii Cunningham's disappearance. He was arrested on an unrelated charge. In 2010, Don Steven McDougal was working in a local garage with Elic Bryan III. Bryan says McDougal seemed like an OK guy, until one night when McDougal had too much to drink and Bryan had to kick him out of his house. McDougal left, briefly, and came back with a knife, slashing tires and trying to stab Bryan.  Bryan had to get his gun to try to run a drunk McDougal off his property, but it took police with police dogs coming out to track him down and take McDougal to jail. Don Steven McDougal admits he was supposed to take Audrii Cunningham to the bus stop but he has yet to tell investigators if she made it to the bus stop or not.  Joining Nancy Grace Today:  Elic Bryan III - Assaulted by Don Steven McDougal in 2010  Lana Shadwick – Attorney, Former Harris County Judge and Prosecutor; Legal Analyst for Breitbart, Texas; Facebook: @TXBoots Caryn L.

Julia Mitchell had a kernel of this idea she had been noodling on for a few years. She had had some "lightly used" fly fishing clothes that didn't fit her anymore and thought they would be perfect for another angler. Julia was working in a leadership role with United Women on the Fly, and also started a leadership role with a local fly fishing group where she met Temma Roby. After sharing her idea of breaking down barriers for women to enjoy fly fishing and providing used or donated gear and clothing Temma was on board with the mission. On August 5th, 2022 Rising to the Fly was born!

The Klamath River 2nd episode. In the Spring of 2025, a group of teenagers from several Tribal Nations of the Klamath River Basin and greater region will descend the newly undammed Klamath River from source to sea.

Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don't know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children's science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real. (The UFO Case That Refuses to Die) *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, “The incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island… it's a very special place, with a cosmic presence.” What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947? (The Maurey Island Incident) *** Whether you're a true believer or one of those skeptics, stories of spirits haunting the living from the confines of a Ouija board can chill you to the bone, and make you think twice before communicating with entities from another dimension. (True And Disturbing Ouija Board Stories) *** What if creatures like gnomes and imps aren't just real – but also evil?
