"From from rocks from space. So Margie used to have these huge oceans and sort of an atmosphere just like we do. Probably clouds, You know, beaches. S so That's why we think that maybe there could have been life. That's right. As far as we know, from a biological point of view, right? What does it take to make life? Well, it takes basic organic molecules and those exist on Mars today, so we're sure that they existed a long time ago. It takes liquid water, right? It takes an energy source meaning the sun on Do we don't really know what else it takes. I mean, you can't have too many toxins. You can't be blasted by radiation, but we don't really know. The deep question about by in biology right now is If you have all that stuff, and you let it sort of smooshed around for millions of years or billions of years. How often do you get life, You know, is it one in a trillion, Or is it every other time? Or is that 99% of planets that have that condition eventually get microbial life. We just don't know the answer. It's like somebody makes the same ingredients we had here on earth. And the question is, did little microbes pop up in the middle of it? That's right. And, you know, my instinct is that it must have in one piece of evidence we have is that on Earth, it seems like life started pretty soon after those conditions formed. You know, Once we had an atmosphere and liquid water, and the temperature is about right, it didn't take very long for life to start. So that suggests that it's not like a wonder Brazilian chance, and I millions of years suggests that you know it's likely to happen. Yeah, think about all the molecules in an ocean right? All the organic molecules bumping against each other. You might think it's so improbable for to bump into each other and form or in a and that something that would happen to be self replicating and build from there. Yeah, it's improbable, but you got Tend to the you know huge number of Adam's bumping against each other for millions of years. That's a lot of tries, right? It's like you know, monkeys on a typewriter banging away Eventually one of them is going to produce Hamlet. Yeah. It's a good picture of of of a creator for the universe. Just a bunch of monkeys banging molecules around. Look, I made name the Creator sometimes does seem like a like an idiot monkey. Yeah, I agree. Welcome to blast from me by Jorge and Daniel. That's kind of why we think that maybe there could be life because it looked just like the earth. It had the right conditions. But then all that went away at some point. Because the Mars we see now it looks like a big, big old desert. Yeah, that's what we think. That Mars was a great laboratory for answering this question, right if life existed on Mars billions of years ago, when the conditions were great, that tells you a lot about the chances for life to start if life didn't exist on Mars billions of years ago that tells you a lot about the chances for life to start, right, But as we alluded earlier in the podcast, we don't actually know if life started on Mars or life started on Earth right? It could have started in either place. Always talk about that for we talk about the great disaster of our horse. You mean like, said Marcie's to look like Earth? Maybe life started there and somehow made it over here. Exactly. And so you might be thinking. Hold on a second. How could microbial life like build a spaceship? Launch it and come over to earth? That's ridiculous, Right? Why is that? Ridiculous? Well, I don't know. Bacteria don't seem to build technology or developed spaceships or launch themselves into space Very often. I mean, not that we're aware of how many pretty cursed bacteria. Are secretly exploring the universe. We don't know little tiny rocket ships, but actually it happens. And it happened sort of accidentally. The way it happens is that you could have, like a piece of life. You know, a little bit of bacteria on Iraq that rocket get knocked into space by the impact of an asteroid. So you know, rock number one come from space. Last under the plan, a huge explosion stuff flies everywhere. Some of that stuff flies into outer space, right? You can knock a rock off the surface of a planet. If you hit it hard enough, and it would just go out into space float around the solar system and land in our planet. Yeah, And not all of them, of course, would land on our planet. Most of them would just float in space forever. But occasionally, some of them would on we know that this happens like for a fact. We have rocks that we found on Earth that we are sure came from Mars. So we know that this is a thing. Wait, How? How do we know they're from Mars? Do they have little like it made in Mars? It's the return postmark. Of course, it's not so complicated. No, we can look at it the chemistry of it in the geology of it, and they're just totally different from Earth rocks, and there's a completely consistent with what we think. Mars rocks look like and you know, we've sent robots to Mars. We studied them. So we know something about Martian geology. These rocks just could not have formed on earth and they're totally consistent with rocks forming on Mars. So we have In our labs rocks from Mars, right? Like we haven't been there, but we already have pieces of it. Wow. So it's possible that maybe you know you were. There was a little microbe who went to sleep at night and this little rock or her rock home. Something happened. And the next day here, she woke up on Earth. Yeah, that's right, probably the next thousands of years. But, you know, and microbes can live a long time and they can just sort of go to sleep. And a lot of them could survive crazy things. I mean, there are microbes living on the outside of the international space station right now, all right, It's almost impossible to eradicate all life from anything..

The question is whether the nation can stay ahead of the fast spreading virus Mutation reporter Jim Priscilla says people who have been vaccine I did have questions, including what they can safely do and where they can go. The answers could be complicated, and one big unknown is whether someone who is vaccinated can still pass the virus on to other U. S.

Covert patients have now died in the state. Most Metro Atlanta counties put a hold on new appointments from the health Department for the covert vaccine, Governor's Office says. Due to a shortage of the vaccine, there has been a pause in scheduling appointments. Those already scheduled for their first or second dose will not be affected unless they've been contacted.

"The first star emission disturbing members can be police officers. They came preschool employees and state employees. And what we do is we. We make sure that they have a retirement benefit at the time that they're ready to stop actively working in calpers over the last four years has been making very difficult decisions about the appropriate funding of these pension plans for the future. We'll trust i'm dan. Lewis can this is after the fact and that was marcy frost. She leads the california public employees retirement system. Calpers is the nation's largest public pension system with a global investment portfolio of around four hundred twenty billion dollars that's a figure larger than the gdp of countries like norway singapore and the difficult decisions. Marcie mentions affect the retirement benefits for nearly two million public employees retirees and their families is a challenge facing many states across the country as they look at the best ways to fund their public pension systems. And that's something. Greg menace works on at pugh helping states develop solutions to close the funding gap between what state pension plans odor their public employees. And the money. That's being put aside to pay that bill up. Hugh analysis in two thousand eighteen found that funding gap in the states totaled one point two four trillion dollars. That's with a t and that's the data point for our episode. It's a number. Experts see growing with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic amid those daunting numbers states like pennsylvania and california have discovered innovative ways to ensure pension systems. Keep their promises to retirees. Most people are familiar with 401k. Plans and over sixty million americans saved through retirement primarily through those kinda plans in the public sector. It's different where most of the state and local workers participate in what are called defined benefit plans by and large this distinction where in the public sector benefits are paid for through a fixed payment in retirement And the money is managed by the state and today there's about four trillion dollars in public assets. Invested in stocks bonds alternative investments is the main differences between that. Most people save for retirement. The all of us have to be concerned about our retirement. All of us need to plan ahead. Why should all of us care about the public. Employees pension system a well funded pension system in the public sector. can literally cost billions billions of dollars less every year from the state or local budget as compared to one. That's severely underfunded. The short answer is that in a well-funded system the state or local government is setting aside money each and every year while people are working to pay for their benefits when they retire and as it turns out by doing that it ends up that compounded investment earnings and up paying for the majority of the benefit. I'm in contrast they severely underfunded system. Where the money hasn't been set aside while people are in their working years. They lose out. On all kinds of compounded investment earnings and as a result the majority of the cost comes out of the state for state or local budget. I'm just to provide some examples. We look at pension. Plans in states. Like tennessee and south dakota and wisconsin all of which are close to being fully funded. It sounds like if states are planning their investments properly in a smart way. The earnings made by those investments can pay for the costs to maintain the fund. What happens with states. That aren't fully funded if you look at states like kentucky illinois new jersey all of which have less than fifty percent of the assets set aside that budgetary cost is closer to fifteen percent of revenue on average so that means no state somewhere between one and ten in one in five tax dollars going to pensions that adds up to about a ten billion dollars of additional cost across those three states alone. And so i think this is important from the public's perspective not only because of the impact that can have on state and local budgets and in turn the resources that are available for public services but also because having a well-funded system helps to prevent reductions in workforce or cuts in benefits that you need to attract skilled public workforce to be very specific. That means there's less money to buy police cars or paved roads or any other public service. That taxpayer dollars fund right. I mean and that's that's a big deal. I mean the government is always looking to contain costs whether it's healthcare or other issues this is. This is a big ticket item for a lot of states. That's absolutely right. And as i mentioned before. I think for a larger state and city the difference between having a well-funded system in an underfunded system comes out billions of dollars every year so everything from investments in education and infrastructure to healthcare ends up being strained in the budget each and every year it almost sounds like innovation is sort of old school ideas of like. Just you know figuring out what the bills are going to be a mixture. You got the money to pay for them you know. I think that that's right. And there are two ways in particular where i think innovation plays a role you to first off it has to do with how plans and pension systems planned for uncertainty and some of the states that i just mentioned tennessee. Wisconsin in south dakota very clear predefined rules about how to adjust cost if there's a downturn or investments underperform. This includes building margin of safety into assumptions essentially setting aside a rainy day fund within the pensions system and then also adjustments to worker benefits. That are clearly understood by everybody and so from that perspective i think innovation goes back to looking at the policies and practices that these states have been following for

"From from rocks from space. So some aren't you used to have these huge oceans and sort of an atmosphere just like we do. Probably clouds, You know, beaches. S so That's why we think that maybe there could have been life. That's right. As far as we know, from a biological point of view, right? What does it take to make life? Well, it takes basic organic molecules and those exist on Mars today, so we're sure that they existed a long time ago. It takes liquid water, right? It takes an energy source Meaning the sun on Do we don't really know what else it takes. I mean, you can't have too many toxins. You can't be blasted by radiation. But we don't really know the deep question about but in biology right now is if you have all that stuff, and you let it sort of smooshed around for millions of years or billions of years. How often do you get life? You know that one in a trillion, Or is it every other time? Where's that 99% of planets that have that condition eventually get microbial life. We just don't know the answer. It's like somebody makes the same ingredients we had here on earth, and the question is, did little microbes pop up in the middle of it? That's right. And, you know, my instinct is that it must have in one piece of evidence we have is that on Earth, it seems like life started pretty soon after those conditions formed. You know, Once we had an atmosphere and liquid water, and the temperature is about right, it didn't take very long for life to start. So that suggests that it's not like a wonder Brazilian chance, and I think of years suggests that you know it's likely to happen. Yeah, think about all the molecules in an ocean right all the organic molecules bumping against each other. You might think it's so improbable for it to bump into each other and form or in a and that something that would happen to be self replicating and build from there. Yeah, it's improbable, But you got tend to the huge number of Adam's bumping against each other for millions of years. That's a lot of tries, right if it's like, you know, monkeys on the typewriter banging away Eventually one of them is going to produce Hamlet. Yeah. Take a picture of Ah, Creator for the universe. Just a bunch of monkeys banging molecules around. Look, I made name the Creator sometimes does seem like a like an idiot monkey. Yeah, I agree. Welcome to blast from me by Jorge and Daniel. That's kind of why we think that maybe there could be life because it looked just like the earth. It had the right conditions. But then all that went away at some point. Because the Mars we see now it looks like a big, big old desert. Yeah, That's why we think that Mars was a great laboratory for answering this question, right if life existed on Mars billions of years ago when the conditions were great It tells you a lot about the chances for life to start If life didn't exist on Mars billions of years ago that tells you a lot about the chances for life to start, right, But as we alluded earlier in the podcast, we don't actually know if life started on Mars or life started on Earth, right? It could have started in either place when we talk about that for we talked about Great disaster of ours. You mean like Marcie's to look like Earth? Maybe life started there and somehow made it over here. Exactly. And so you might be thinking. Hold on a second. How could microbial life like build a spaceship? Launch it and come over to earth? That's ridiculous, Right? Why is that? Ridiculous? Well, I don't know. Bacteria don't seem to build technology or developed spaceships or launch themselves into space Very often. I mean, not that we're aware of having pretty bacteria are secretly exploring the universe. A little tiny rocket ships, But actually it happens and it happened sort of accidentally. The way it happens is that you could have, like a piece of life. You know, a little bit of bacteria on a rock. And that rock had knocked into space by the impact of an asteroid. So you know, rock number one come from space blast under the planet. Huge explosion stuff flies everywhere. Some of that stuff flies into outer space, right? You can knock a rock off the surface of a planet. If you hit it hard enough, and it would just go out into space float around the solar system and land in our planet. Yeah, And not all of them, of course, would land on our planet. Most of them would just float in space forever. But occasionally, some of them would on we know that this happens like for a fact. We have rocks that we found on Earth that we are sure came from Mars. So we know that this is a thing we have. How do we know they're from Mars? Do they have little like it made him ours. It's the return postmark. Of course, it's not so complicated. No, we can look at it the chemistry of it in the geology of it, and they're just totally different from Earth rocks, and there's going to be consistent with what we think. Mars rocks look like and you know, we've sent robots to Mars. We studied them. So we know something about Martian geology. These rocks just could not have formed on earth and they're totally consistent with rocks forming on Mars. So we have In our labs rocks from Mars, right? Like we haven't been there, but we already have pieces of it. Wow. So it's possible that maybe you know you were there was a little microphone went to sleep at night and this little rock or her rock home. Something happened. And the next day here, she woke up on Earth. Yeah, that's right, probably the next thousands of years. But you know, and my groups can live a long time and they can just sort of go to sleep. And a lot of them could survive crazy things. I mean, there are microbes living on the outside of the international space station right now, all right, It's almost impossible to eradicate all life from anything. I mean, you zap it with radiation. You'll find a few microbes that air radiation hard. You heat them up. You'll find some microbes that really like it hot. Dry him out. You find my groups that can live in dry environments. That's crazy. So someone could have survived the impact of an asteroid thrown into space. Surviving the cold and vacuum survived the entry into Earth and then come out and be like, Hey, this is my new house. That's right. That thing has a great back story. Let me tell you there was a moment about what is it now? 20 years ago when NASA thought they actually had discovered evidence of life from a Martian rock, right, like a rock that came from Mars when evidence of life in it.

Kyw's arts and culture reporter. Marcy silman has been monitoring the health of the regional arts and culture community. She spoke with kim. Malcolm about what. We might see moving forward so marcy for the past couple of months. You've been doing some deep dive reporting on how the pandemic has impacted our cultural communities. How would you describe what you found across the board. Kim organizations are treading water. If they haven't already drowned you might remember last march. When governor inslee issued his social gathering restrictions. everyone had to shut down operations museums and some art galleries have started to welcome back visitors. But they're at twenty five percent of normal capacity which just does not sound sustainable. And marcy you and i've talked about how performing arts groups and musicians have been streaming content and how it just doesn't cover the costs for many of them. So what are arts leaders telling you about this pivot to digital when it doesn't pay the bills. Peter bowl who is the artistic director at pacific. Northwest ballet told me that he pivoted digital because he wanted to give some work to the dancers musicians backstage artisans and other staff who would otherwise be unemployed. According to a new study from the seattle advocacy group arts fund. Thousands of area of workers are still jobless and even though as we said. Some venues have reopened. This survey found only about nine percent of local artisans and been rehired many back part time or reduce salaries but kim beyond providing jobs. I think that this pandemic has really forced performing arts groups to reckon with the digital age in a way that they hadn't done before the pandemic kit. And what do you mean by that. Well for at least a decade arts groups have been trying to figure out how they compete with free or low cost online content that arts fund study that i mentioned found that every responding group plan to permanently integrate digital content into their arts program offerings the ceo of arts fund. Michael greer told me that's partly because audiences are really leery about heading into enclosed spaces with lots of people that component that new revenue component is going to be essential to kind of filling the void of individuals. Trepidation do moving back into the theaters or just a general reorganization of how society interacts with itself. Not even just in the arts bottom line marcie will most arts groups survived this pandemic. It's really hard to say for certain. But to quote the head of seattle's office of arts and culture randy angstrom. The sector is on the knife's edge getting people to value in compensate artists and creatives for their time was already a challenge. Then the pandemic it and it was devastating. And i think that that devastation was disproportionately felt by by park organizations and artists because they've been underinvested and undercapitalized for so long and i'll just note here by poc refers to artists who are black indigenous and people of color. What is happening with these communities. Well this summer one worries alicia. Johnston told me that they only have the funds to make it through the calendar year. I did check back with her earlier this week. And she says that right now. They've got about half the budget for twenty twenty. One heart of that came from contributions sparked by black lives matter but she told me those have tapered off and even though she describes herself as one worry self designated worrier about money. She's pretty hopeful that they'll raise the two hundred thousand dollars. They need to keep this community cultural center going. Marcy i know can county. And many private funds have funneled relief. Money to the arts sector. What are arts leader saying about what they need to survive. Many hope congress will enact another significant stimulus measure randy. Angst room would like to see a twenty first century version of the works progress administration. That was the depression era program that funded arts projects across the country. Local artists have already stepped up. And they've been making murals. And creating digital arts lessons plan for the public schools angstrom and many other folks think it's time to fairly compensate them for that work. And how optimistic is he that that might happen. I'm gonna let him answer that. I am hopeful because the creative community of the city gives me that help. I am hopeful because of the incredible resilience. I've seen and we need to meet that resilience with dollars and faith in their work but angstrom says the city cannot finance this on its own. They really need a major influx of federal dollars. At this point. Who knows when that's going to happen. We'll mercy speaking of resilience. I have to acknowledge. Even though i don't want to that this is most likely our last on air conversation about the arts as you retire from k. u. o. w. after a remarkable thirty five years.

The Guns Rights Organization today issued an F rating to bugs bunny for tying up guns into Pretzel Shapes. For more I'm joined by OPR senior alcohol tobacco firearms and explosive correspondent Marcy Hammond mercy. What was the NRA's thinking here while the NRA reserved. The F. rating figures at deems is particularly harmful to the rights of gun owners and leadership believes that bugs his long history of firearm destruction qualifies him. Here's how NRA deputy spokesperson Rhonda mcdaniel. Explain their decision time and time. Again, we have seen this radical agitators seeking to curtail the Second Amendment Rights of Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam by twisting their lawfully purchased firearms into a big bowl and the NRA has had enough. Now let's be clear. Bugs is a beloved cultural figure with relatively little political sway is it really in line with Americans interest for a gun lobby to be targeting him round the NRA certainly thinks. So while the organization has been weakened over the years due to lawsuits and falling public opinion they signal, they'll be devoting considerable resources to getting what they call a no. Good Rascal Rabbit here's mcdaniel. Again, if these sort of left distant imitation tactics prevail, we're looking at a future where government agents can just come to your home while you're sleeping and bend your gun into a youth shape or jammed the barrels with carrots coastal elites like bugs bunny may be okay with that outcome, but real Americans will never stand for it mercy. Some have accused the gun right's organization of not caring about tune rights they pushed for decades to deregulate bazookas. Dynamite sticks coming from the ACME company. That's true. But the NRA would point you to their a rating for Marvin, the Martian. For providing what they call a sterling example of responsible gun ownership. Sure. But do they have any other tactics to push back against what they see boxes anti-gun stance while the F. reading a tactic in and of itself of course. But beyond that NRA leadership announced, they'll be launching a public pressure campaign encouraging members to email and tweet bugs bunny to tell him actions are harming the American way of life. They're also lobbying Congress to remove him from television claiming that he's been brainwashing our nation's children with anti-gun propaganda, and if those tactics are unsuccessful, they have plans to draw big angle on his head.

As If Things Werent Bad Enough, Snakes Still Slithering Around Out There
"Kobe nineteen police brutality the twenty twenty presidential election. We're living through turbulent times here in the US characterized by chaos violence and widespread uncertainty, and now as if things weren't bad enough experts, today have confirmed that snakes are still slithering around out there will be ours Marcy Hammond joins us now with more Marcie please tell us there's been some kind of mistake. Well, I hate to say it Leslie but this is true on top of everything we're dealing with right now snakes are in. Fact Alive and kicking Dr Stanley Mendez a biologist from Stanford University shared the terrible news at a press conference earlier today take a listen team of our top researchers has discovered that snakes still exist these legless creeps continue to sling through gardens, lurk under rocks and drag their lousy bodies across American soil. At first we thought perhaps they were just a part of a garden hose or a really big worm but unfortunately, they are definitely still snakes. No Man are they shirt because a buddy? Of Mine killed one a few years ago. That was living under a shed that didn't take care of the problem for good I'm afraid not. It looks like snakes are pretty much here to stay. It's like this nation just can't catch a break. You're telling me now snakes certainly aren't the most pressing issue right now what with unemployment skyrocketing ice on violence the OPIOID epidemic change products that promise to restore your hairline, but just make your scalp single but remembering that snakes out there. To watching waiting, it just doesn't help at all exactly a- pandemic is one thing but a pandemic and snakes. It's all just too much and with virtually no legislation moving forward in the House or Senate. Many Americans are feeling justice helpless on the issue here single mother Amanda. Schumacher who represents one of millions struggling to cope every day I, wake up and wonder how I'm going to feed my children how I'm going to afford it if I get sick and are there any snakes outside? Even, worse, what if there are snakes inside? Then what am I going to have to quit my job and fight off AACSB fulltime? That's heartbreaking Marseille Ernie precautions we can take to avoid snakes like say standing on a chair in the center of the kitchen authorities are currently advising that anyone who sees a snake should be fully prepared to point and yell snake. That's all isn't there. Anything else we can do not really I mean if you want, you can take a picture with your phone to show everyone how gross it is a just when you thought twenty twenty couldn't get any worse I guess our only hope at this point is that they all accidentally get stepped on and that's right. Leslie will just have to wait and saying,

Here, with Moore's opie are hanna-barbera correspondent Marcy Hammond mercy. Welcome Hi Leslie. The clip you just heard is the sound of dozens of Yogi bear fanatics who spent the last two days protecting a ten foot, tall statue of the classic cartoon character had a campground in South Dakota wielding assault rifles and clad in camouflage.

Who traveled all the way from freaking Aberdeen to help patrol? The Park Yoga's Jelly Stones Funds Spare, and even if he was pro slavery, which we honestly have no idea if he was or not, you can't see racist memory just to appease the social justice warriors I, know I speak for everyone here. Would I say I am prepared to die to defend our? Who strong words have there been any attempts by activists to deface or destroy the statue? There have not and while some would argue. That's because the statue was not in any real danger. Marquis believes it's actually because his crews doing such a good job protecting it I see why of the protesters decided to take a stand now well in light of recent efforts by activists to remove memorials dedicated to Stonewall Jackson Robert e Lee and other southern civil war leaders. This group which has dubbed itself the Jelly Stone militia fears. It's only a matter of time before public opinion turns on its favourite anthropomorphic animal. Here's Marquis again. People are so quick to. To say Yogi. Bear me of harbored pro confederacy beliefs, and therefore should be cancelled, but that completely ignores his rich history, a stealing picking masters his work with Ranger Smith and all the mentoring to providing young bears like boo, boo, we don't know whether he would have stood with the union or fought for southern secession. And until we know for sure I'm going to stay here and she.

Health Experts Warn Protests Could Set Off Second Wave Of Police Brutality
"Massive protests across the country have health officials concerned today airway, many of the nation's top medical experts are worried. These demonstrations could lead to a large second wave outbreak up police brutality from the onion and onion public radio. I'm Leslie Price. This is the topical. We've got the latest on each one of the many things you should currently be panicking about so stay with it. Well, it seems that worse could still be ahead of says health officials offered a grim outlook for the future today with a warning that protests currently roiling the nation could set off a second wave of police brutality for more I'm joined by OPR correspondent Marcy Hammond Marcy. Is this something we should be concerned about well? Leslie experts say there is cause for alarm here's deputy director and she'll get. We've seen massive person demonstrations across the country in the last several days, which is of course, a fertile breeding ground for excessive force, and what's worse, we believe that this second spike in police brutality. Deadlier than what we've already seen that those sound concerning no, can you give us a little more context? How did we find ourselves in this situation? Where did this police brutality come from? Well? Of course, some form of police brutality has been with US basically forever, but over centuries of exposure. The American public has largely become immune to it. However, this novel strain that we're seeing this year began with seemingly isolated appearances throughout the country over the last several months, and now boiled over into a full-blown epidemic. So what should we be on the lookout for if we think we may have been afflicted by excessive force well the most important thing. Thing to note is that. If you're feeling symptoms, it may already be too late. Here's deputy director shook it on what exactly watch out for? There are a variety of symptoms. Some of which include puffy swollen is cracked ribs, an inability to breathe, and in many cases death. We're seeing a huge uptick in these symptoms in hospitals and ICU's across the country, which have already been stretched to their breaking point by our militarized police force Oh well fortunately, I don't have any of those symptoms. Am I in the clear, not necessarily. Leslie shook. It also cautioned that there are large number of asymptomatic carriers who can actually be among the most dangerous. Dangerous as they continue to spread systemic violence and oppression, while not even being conscious of it walls, a healthy white man I'm not too concerned, but Marcie. Are there any populations that are particularly vulnerable to this epidemic? Interestingly enough? The CDC has found that the African American community has been affected disproportionately, but really it can affect anyone pets, the elderly even children, and what are officials recommending in the event that you do become exposed. Here's shook it from the CDC once more. If you've been afflicted, we urge you to remain physically and emotionally isolated and avoid all large-scale demonstrations against stay sanctioned violence until physical evidence has healed. Unfortunately, this isn't going. Going away anytime soon, so we're going to have to accept police brutality as part of our future, since any potential cure decades away, and would likely be extremely expensive interesting, so is refraining from protests, the key to preventing the second wave. Well, it may lead to a temporary lull and incidents important to remember police brutality is extremely prevalent, and it can strike vulnerable populations while they're walking through their neighborhood, sitting in their backyard or even asleep in their own bedroom so unfortunately there's really no sure way to escape it all right well. Thanks for the reporting Marcy and stay safe out there. That's OPR's Marcy hammonds. We'll be back in a moment. Somebody better call in the National Guard because there's about to be a news riot. Here's what else we need to know today.

An hour have been stolen from Zara retail store in the US Chen was found to be inconsolable comfort to learn that insurance covered the stolen item, and Zara would be just fine.

She even went to court and took out a restraining order against bill as the days passed did no one heard from bill. Melanie appeared to be moving on with her life without him but bills family and friends were worried bill had been a gambler may get pissed off the wrong people then a bizarre story got everyone's attention.

Although her attorney would argue her innocence a complex unraveling reveling of the facts would reveal a twisted murder plot which grew from infidelity greed and hate New Jersey case means new New Jersey near yeah figured I'm assuming she killed him in New Jersey. That's the belief yes. She didn't dump his body parts in New Jersey. I don't think now aw but the killing was done so I picked a beer called head high which is brewed by Kane Brewing Company in Ocean New Jersey Far Southern Jersey assist the shore head high is an American. It A in at six point six percent alcohol by volume pretty nice beer hazy orange colour. You're a whitehead some pretty lace aroma of citrus and pine.

That sounds Cilicia. I love that kind of beer. This is your Beer Jill. Yes okay. Let's open that up right away. All right lead the way why down to the quiet end in you can begin our story. Bill McGuire was born in nineteen sixty four in river edge. New Jersey the two older sisters his father worked as a pressman for the New York. Times and his mother stayed home with kids. A billy was the baby of the family family. He got a lot of attention. Here's a cute but very rambunctious kid now when he was four years old his parents divorced bill's mother had to take a job to support the children so she worked the night shift wild bill's oldest sister. Cindy babysat her siblings the Mon- Work Six nights a week so Sunday began to feel like she was a second mother to Bill Leeann. I think bill really looked at her that way even as an adult or you're she had a very maternal influence on his life and when bill was twelve his sister. Cindy moved out and married a guy named bill. Gosh he was an older man who was a pharmacist first and then bills other sister. Nancy moved out as well. Their parents had divorced and remarried a few times so it was very unstable. Environment Sir remarried controller yes back and forth while and Nancy would later accused their father of sexually abusing her too so there's a lot going on in the home sounds work so bill went to Catholic school and he was a decent B. Student. He was quite outgoing and a lot of friends when he was just fifteen ran ran away from home and went to live with Cindy and her husband and he did live with them for a while but eventually left after not following all of her household rules because Cindy was strict then after that he went to his sister Nancy but she didn't have room for him so for awhile bill lived with his high school coach and then he lived with the family of one of his best friends so this is kind of a hard scrabble life he had in his teens assurances. Just been a Roman around yeah. Yeah doesn't have any stability really not much now and we're not really sure what was going on in the home that he felt like he had to run away but it was probably tumultuous between the parents. I mean just the fact that they were together the not together then together the not together. I mean that's that's in stable ripple enough her unstable enough by itself. Yes absolutely so bill was living with his friend. Lenny and his parents and Lenny's twelve year old sister Marcie Darcy got a really big crush on bill so after graduating in nineteen eighty two bill joined the navy thought it would give him some direction in life leaving both his high school girlfriend behind and young Marcy. He broke two hearts when he left the navy bill made friends with a guy named Joe Rice Ace. He was another recruit who was three years older at first. Joe Thought that bill was kind of obnoxious because he was always showing off and telling jokes but then the two men eventually became close friends and bill was very well dressed and bought himself a Camaro which he shouldn't have been able to afford he would admit to Joe that he was opening up checking accounts in fake names and writing bad checks in order to finance the lifestyle that he wanted to live Marino. I got certain needs in my life. I'm just gonNA write checks. I think that's the way he looked at it and remember this is a guy who didn't have much guidance right and he he was really taken with having things that he had had growing up so not to make excuses because it really wasn't a good thing to do of course of course yeah but now that's what he did so in nineteen eighty five. I guess he's been in the service for about three years at this point bill's girlfriend from back home. Lisa flew down in Norfolk to Sam on a weekend. Leave a few months later bill visit Lisa in Vernon New Jersey but their relationship came to an end over well he was in New Jersey Bill. Marcy asked her out on a date and then he and Marcie gradually became a couple and kept in touch with pitcher yes so after Joe Rice married his girlfriend he told bill about how much more money would be making his naval marriage benefits his income nearly doubled after near his girlfriend and then it wasn't too long after that when bill decided to ask Marcie Mary him so a lot of people thought bill just did that to make more money. Let's the impression absolutely his buddies. Tahoe are almost doubled my income so bill's Franken. That's brewing right. We'll marcy was younger though she just graduated from high school but she was very very taken with bill and she accepted did his proposal and she moved down to Virginia to live with bill and to go to College Marsin Bill secretly married in a civil ceremony and then they moved into into a one bedroom apartment together nineteen ninety bill left the navy after earning his associate's degree from tidewater Community College Bill Dylan Marcy Move to Edison New Jersey and he started attending rutgers university where he was going to study pharmacology bill and Marcy moved into an apartment and both took jobs in local restaurants to pay the bills but bill is unhappy then he wanted to split up nineteen ninety two he left. Marcy surprised her. I guess pretty much broker heart 'cause the next two years. She tried to win him back but bill never looked back at Marcy. Who's WHO's dating new women again almost right away after the break-up yeah he had already really checked out of the marriage and then in the summer of nineteen ninety four for a friend of bills introduced him to Melanie slate. The two were attracted to each other and they seem to have a lot in common. They seem to really make a good match. Watch so a little bit about Melanie. Melanie Lynn slate was born in nineteen seventy two in Ridgewood New Jersey. Her father left her mother. When Melanie Melanie was still a baby and then he died a few years later from cancer. Melanie's mother Linda moved back into her appearance on with her daughter and Melanie's Janis Aunts and grandmother helped to raise her her mother. Linda can you to her secretarial job in Manhattan and that's where she began having an affair with her boss Michael Caporetto and that would last for years and Years Melanie grew up beside Michael Cap narrows son Michael Junior and and when Captain Aero finally left his wife he and his son moved in with Linda Melanie but it certainly wasn't the ideal childhood. Her doesn't sound black. Does it now so the kids would go along with Lyndon Michael when they went to Atlantic City Michael Junior and Melanie. You were usually left alone in hotel. Rooms are pretty lengthy times while appearance gambled Michael Senior was such a high stakes gambler learn they were often given comte hotel suites in room service for the children. SA- gambling really can be a serious addiction. WHOA course I've never never really known anyone that has it by Sir with sound of surprise well after I read about this I looked into some other issues with that and children and there is a problem in Atlantic City and Las Vegas of people just Kinda dumping their kids and running off to gamble for days at a time were very often read stories about the type of thing apparent has come the gamble and just dump the kids somewhere. You're gives them a few dollars. Say go under around how fine the gamble one. I think forget about their kids. They get so involved in it because there have been instances was reading about where children have been molested or even kidnapped napped. You know little girls using the restroom in a casino by themselves ECORSE. That's not why s- some horrible things have happened because of this so the only thing I can think is it must be a very strong addiction like drugs for people to leave their kids like that sure immune. A lot of these people are normally holly good parents but this is how Michael and Melanie grew up with a lot of that now even though their parents had some money and they were comps suites they were still abandoned on their own so they became very self sufficient these kids. I guess that's the good part about it. Melanie was really an excellent student and issue reached her teens. She was a beautiful girl. She had long wavy brown hair and a petite figure. She became very self confident and was very flirtatious with the boys at school. Some of the other girls disliked her but melanie had an outward kind. Mr Mr Personality too and she often took weaker girls under her weighing in offered advice on advice and support now. She is an attractive woman you you compare it to an actress. who was that well at Harry? I just mentioned that she looked like what's her name. Marielle and Muster Antonio Veterinary Curry something master Antonio Okay so an actress from like the eighties here yeah yes so she's a good looking woman and she had a lot of freedom when she she was a teenager so that could be a bad combination all this free of within attractive teenage girl she last virginity on a trip to Mexico when she was just thirteen eighteen years old because she and Michael Junior were going out to nightclubs and bars they were just on their own on these vacations so she hooked up with with a Lerman lost her virginity at a young age and then Melanie also began to gamble and she became promiscuous. She slept with older teens when young men who buttered gifts and took her out to fancy restaurants. She was almost like an escort in her teens with some of these older guys and she was his proud of it. She bragged about having affairs with two of her married high schoolteachers as well something to brag about. Isn't it on your teenage girl. You don't the better chance right.
