As the search for 8-year-old Kim Nguyen continued a week after his disappearance, the Garland Police still coordinated the efforts but had begun concentrating on the investigation. After releasing a lead that likely would have borne better results had it been released the day Kim went missing, the very day the information was made public in fact, the unthinkable happened. The boy's body was found many miles away in the neighboring city of Mesquite. The cops never got close to making an arrest.

On July 18th, 1993, 8-year-old Kim Nguyen woke up in a good, particularly playful mood. After wrestling around with his older brother some, Kim entered the living room of the Nguyen Family home in Garland, Texas and flipped on the television. When his father came to check on him at about 7 AM, however, there was no trace of the little boy, not inside the house or outside. They called the police and informed them that Kim was gone and that there was a detail that might make finding him more difficult than a lot of children. Kim was autistic and chose not to verbally communicate the vast majority of the time. Word got around the boy's working-class neighborhood fast, and lots of folks showed up to help search. But after the first several days, no sign of the boy could be found. Almost no sign.If you have any information about the 1993 kidnapping and murder of 8-year-old Kim Nguyen, please call the Garland Police at (972) 485-4840Please consider donating to the go fund me for Leon Laureles.

While the Plano Police investigated the abduction and death of 7-year-old Ashley Estell, a strange man with a pertinent criminal history made himself a suspect. Unbeknownst to the grieving and angry residents of the suburb city, along with the rest of North Texas, the cops were building a case against 23-year-old Dallas carpet cleaner and convicted child molester Michael Nawee Blair. When the arrest came 6 days after Ashley was slain, residents were shocked – but upon learning of the man's disturbing criminal past and his early release from prison, the public's shock turned to outrage and a campaign against the practices of the Texas justice system got underway.

The abduction and murder of 7-year-old Ashley Nicole Estell sent shockwaves through Plano, Texas, a Dallas suburban outlier. Crime in the community in 1993 was extremely rare, particularly crime of such violence against a child as the one against Ashley. It changed everything in Plano, and the shockwaves were felt throughout the North Texas Region if not the entire state. The investigation, at first, was going nowhere and the public feared for the safety of their children. Part 1 of 2.

David "Schoop" Schechter worked at the Dallas ABC affiliate, WFAA Channel 8, for 16 years. This week he quit his gig to go work as a national environmental reporter for CBS. In this episode, we talk about "cheerful nihilism" and David's amazing calf muscles. At least five stars.

In today's episode, you'll hear from Dale Hansen, the sometimes-controversial, always-opinionated retired WFAA Channel 8 sportscaster. The reasons why he has used his platform to speak about issues facing minority or disadvantaged groups may not be what you expect. Dale says his three years in the U. S. Navy opened his eyes to the inequities in society, and those eyes – and his mouth – have been wide open ever since. Also stay tuned for next Tuesday, March 8, when part two of this interview will air.

Jana talks with Toye Penny.   Toye is a Holistic Well-Being Strategist who specializes in helping Celebrity & High Performing CEO Moms put their oxygen mask on first so they can save everyone around them.   After losing her mother to Lupus as a child, not having her father present, being sexually abused, becoming a teen mom at the age of 16, and being involved in a tumultuous relationship with an older man, Toye Penny found herself at 23 years old in the right place at the right time when she became the CEO of a luxury day spa. Toye was financially flexible and created a great lifestyle for herself and her daughter; but she was also stressed, had unresolved childhood trauma, carried the mental load, and felt guilty about how she showed up for her family. While her career facade said "I've got it all together", her personal life, relationships, and some health areas were falling apart. Now as a wife, mom, and CEO at ToyePenny.com Toye created The Love You More Method, an 8-step holistic well-being program, and has privately guided many other high-performing moms through her method. In her innovative book, Love “Them”, Love You More, Toye reveals actionable strategies on how these high profile women can apply The Love You More Method℠ and ultimately model well-being for generations to come.   In addition to creating a method exclusively for high performers, Toye has been featured on Ninja Foodi, WFAA Channel 8, CEO Mom Magazine and Glamour Magazine to name a few. Toye is the only Holistic Well-Being Strategist that serves as an exclusive CEO Mom Interventionist and uses The Love You More Method as a way to support them through a complete transformation.   “Your life is not your own, you are living for other people."   Jana and Toye talk about: 1) 17-Year-old motherhood and creating your first team 2) Becoming a CEO of a luxury day spa at 23 3) Everything may look perfect on the outside but is falling apart on the inside 4) Learning to juggle your life and career and not sacrifice what's important 5) Teaching tips on the Love you more method   This 30-minute episode is on: Jana and Toye discuss being a 17-year-old mother and evolving into an owner and CEO of a luxury spa at the age of 23.

A gripping story from the front lines of Covid-19 treatment. This one, with a happy ending. Sat Nayak, MD is Internal Medicine and a hospitalist at Parkland Health and Hospital System and UT Southwestern Medical Center. He has been featured on WFAA Channel 8 News with this story, as well. He tells of one particular patient who got Covid last year and was in serious condition at Parkland. Dr. Nayak was able to treat him back to health so he could get back home to care for his wife, who was battling cancer. Fast-forward a year and Parkland arranged for Dr. Nayak to vaccinate Mr. Beacham and his wife, which was a joyous event for everyone. This truly is “The Human Side of Healthcare.” Next, Dr. John Carlo is back to talk about Herd Immunity. What is it, how do we get there, and is the statistical goal even possible? This segment is a reality check that everyone in the Metroplex should hear, because it truly will take all of us working together to reduce Covid-19's threat. Finally, we're happy to welcome Dr. Trish Perl back to the show. Very timely, we talk to her about childhood vaccinations and the information she shares there correlates well to what is on many people's minds from an adult perspective today.

WFAA Channel 8 Anchor Tashara Parker visits the show to chat all things about bringing your authentic self to the table and how she organically PR'd herself over the years. From Tyler to Dallas, the "Community-Focused Storyteller" describes how unapologetically being you is the best marketing strategy you'll ever have. Plus, we get the tea from Ms. T, on her natural hair showdown that went nationally viral several weeks ago. The leader of the "Bun Ministry" holds nothing back as she clues us in to what really happened when she decided to flaunt her bun-hawk on air, and the chatter that took place after. Learn more on Tashara at TasharaParker.com and follow her on social media at @tasharaparker.

WFAA Channel 8 Daybreak Anchor Kara Sewell comes on the show (glamorously of course) and spills the tea on some of her TV turn-offs: one of those which is when TV guests are too rehearsed and over-PR'd.

Have you ever asked yourself, “What if I could do 60,000 appointments in one year?” This exemplary business woman has accomplished just that. In this episode of Handling Business, we interview Joette White - award-winning business owner, board member, wife, mother, actress and active community member. She has owned Park Cities Pet Sitter since 2002 and has dedicated herself to creating the very best pet care business by investing in her employees happiness and well-being. Because of Joette’s exemplary business practices, her company was awarded NAPPS’ 2017 Business of the Year, a national award given to a pet sitting company that demonstrates outstanding business practices and vision in maintaining and growing their business. Park Cities Pet Sitter has also won many local-based awards, including Angie’s List Super Service Award for the last 5 consecutive years, “Best of Dallas” by D Magazine, and has been featured on WFAA Channel 8, Dallas Voice, and The Dallas Observer. In this episode we discuss how Joette bought her business over a decade ago and took it from a few pet sitters to 47 pet sitters who take care of thousands of clients. Joette shares how she continually adapts and makes changes to her business as it scales. She also talks about how she made the switch from independent contractors to employees and how this big shift might not cost as much as you think. Last year, Joette purchased her second pet sitting business to merge with her Park Cities Pet Sitter and stresses how important it is to do your due diligence when purchasing a business. There’s many factors you must consider such as, does their business model align with your own? Is the current business owner able to step away? How are the clients going to react to this switch and how do you mitigate the risks? The biggest takeaway from this episode is what makes Joette so successful. She believes that you get back what you give and that we are all connected and we are all human. It’s all about relationships with your clients and staff that are based on compassion, healthy boundaries, empathy, loyalty and trust. Many people in the pet industry think that they only need to be good with pets, but they must be equally great with people too or be able to bring on a business partner who is. Joette also insisted that success is not only all about your client’s happiness, it’s actually all about your team’s happiness. Your clients will be happy if your team is. Joette contributes her success to her outstanding team and their dedication to providing her clients with exemplary, high quality service.

If you’re like most business owners, you’ve probably received lots of “scary” tax advice on everything from mistakes to avoid, restrictions on what you can deduct and specific rules on your tax strategy should look like. Unfortunately, much of this advice is based on myth – and will cost you thousands of dollars.   John will share strategies you can use to legally, morally, and ethically lower your personal income taxes.

As the CEO of Financial Gravity, John has grown his business from the dining room table to a national organization of 25 employees and led his company to 700% growth in one year.
