"Really sure why, but I'm just, I'm sort of fired up over all of this. Welcome back to the top stars radio show. And we do want to we do want to say a word of prayer today for our friends in Texas, central Texas, friends and Alabama, and I know you folks in pascagoula Dodge the bullet there, but these tornadoes, there was actually a cruise ship on the Mississippi River and the tornado on the video we've got it on our website, the tornado literally sweeps across the Mississippi River. I haven't seen anything like it, and I am so glad that miss Janice, who's one of our regulars here on the program, I'm so glad you called in, miss Janice, it had to have been a crazy night there in the big easy. Well, I'll be honest with you. Yesterday, the wind picked up here in the afternoon. We had some rain. Silver my house. Thank Jesus. It wasn't bad. But part of the city here, New Orleans east. That's a whole separate area from where I live. They had the big tornado. And then it was New Orleans east and then in araby. There's a section of, I believe, and it's called Arabic. My aunt and uncle used to live out there in Arabic years ago. And so tornado hit araby, and then another tornado hit in New Orleans east. Just terrible. Just terrible. Telling you the devastation, looking, I mean, they had a house Todd, they showed on TV. There was a house. Only thing it wasn't there. Anymore. It was nothing, but just you saw some rubble and there was nothing it was horrible to see. Oh my God. It just had me still very upset. I saw it to you how in Texas you have people in a Walmart and everything in the car is out in the parking lot will be in thrown around. I mean, this is horrible. Janice, we have that video of the Walmart and God bless those Walmart workers who are literally they were screaming at people to get inside they were putting their own lives in jeopardy, trying to get people inside. You hate for horrible things like this to happen, but at the same time when they do, you really do see the good side and the good deeds that people do, and look, we live in the greatest country on the face of the earth. And this is what we do. We help people. Miss Janice, I know you want to weigh on this carjacking. This is, when I read the story last night, it just slammed me upside the head. Well, the driver, the driver, in my estimation, we get the death penalty. And then the other people who were participants in on it, I don't know, I might give them life in jail. I'd have to see what I'd give them. What I do with them. But the person that actually did the drive and drug the woman, I don't care if that was the male or the female. I don't care what the age is. This is what I do about the age, though. I mean, this is how I look at it. My cousin sees it different. If you have 15, if you're 14, is your 13. Okay, you get your time in court there. If you found guilty. I'll give you the death penalty. I just, but to me though, I disagree with my cousin. I just as much as, you know, I want the person to get the death penalty. If you do something, can you murder somebody? And you're old enough to know what you're doing. If I'm 15 and I kill you, don't tell me I don't know that I'm doing wrong. But I would put you in jail is what I do. And I teach. And I give you my pillow, maybe. And I'd keep you till you or whatever the legal age is that says you're an adult, whether that's 18 or 19, 20 or whatever the legal age is. I think it's 18. Then, I mean, your punishment would be the death penalty. I just wouldn't do it. When you're 13. Oh, this weekend, in fact, I think it's just coming Saturday. They're going to have on 48 hours on CBS. They're going to help they're going to show where a 13 years ago, 28 years ago, a 13 year old boy, because he was being bullied in school. Killed, a full year old, three or four year old child. Number three or four year old was not bullying him. But he took it out on this poor, innocent child, and he got, I think he was supposed to get life in jail or something. But he got 28 years. They let him out now. He's out. He's a.

"Back in the seventies. You just didn't talk about it. Nearly fifty years later things are different in two thousand nineteen. The town of pascagoula placed a historical marker at the site. Of calvin charlie's abduction regardless of what the truth is the abduction is a part of the town's history for better or worse for calvin after feeling isolated and shamed his entire life the plaque is a healing reminder that his community finally supports him even. If not everyone is.

"Back to the story. A nineteen seventy-three. After calvin and charlie reported their encounter to police calvin basically disappears. He becomes a recluse. See calvin has no desire to be in the spotlight. All he wants is to forget when he first gets home after the abduction. He so disgusted and scared. He actually pours bleach all over his skin to feel clean again after the media picks up the story his stress shoots through the roof. Three weeks after the abduction. The pressure and the attention gets to be so much that he has a nervous breakdown in has to be hospitalized when he gets out he leaves the shipyard and head back to his hometown two years later he has a second nervous breakdown. He kind of stays in touch with charlie. But it's on and off and he starts picking a work wherever he can but he always quits when someone inevitably recognizes him. And listen i understand. Why calvin wants his privacy. He didn't ask for any of this. Not only is he traumatized but people are constantly asking him to talk about his trauma and half of them are doing it so they can call him a liar. As with every abduction case skeptics crawl out of the woodwork and they love pointing at discrepancies. Charleen kelvin's accounts over time for example in nineteen seventy five. Charlie told the washington post that the vessel was thirty feet long with a dome on top in two thousand. Nineteen calvin told the mississippi clarion ledger. It was eighty feet long and shaped like a football in one interview. Charlie says the aliens mouths look like holes in another. He said they look like slits. The skeptics latch onto every little discrepancy. They propose all sorts of wild theories to explain away. What happened anything other than aliens. Some claim the two men drunkenly passed out and entered. What's called a hypno- gajic state. Which is kinda like sleep paralysis. You can't move and you're prone to hallucination others theorized calvin and charlie had a mental condition called full eoda a mental illness that causes to people to suffer the same delusions at the same time. The person with the dominant personality drives the beliefs and the more passive person gets sucked in. But the truth is the evidence is on calvin and charlie side. It's rare to have so much evidence collected after a reported alien abduction. And that's part of what makes this case so special. We know they weren't drunk. Both men pass sobriety test that night. Both men were psychologically evaluated and neither showed any signs of psychosis no hippie gajic states no fully da as for the discrepancies in their accounts. They're not necessarily a sign. That calvin and charlie are lying. Memories isn't like a book you can't just return to a chapter and recall it exactly as it happened in black and white. It's more like a game of telephone. Every time we recall an event we might miss. Remember a certain part we add tiny corrections or embellishments often without even realizing it. The aliens mouths changing from holes two slits the ship growing fifty feet over forty four years. The relatively small changes that are pretty much expected. I mean if charlie stuck to the exact same story his whole life. That would be more suspicious but to be fair. The skeptics haven't been wrong about everything they pointed out of the man ran. Charlie's polygraph was uncertified at the time. Of course that doesn't mean. He was unqualified by october. Nineteen seventy-three heat administered over five hundred tests for the pendleton detective agency all of which were unrelated to aliens. And no one seemed to have a problem with any of those results. Now you might be asking yourself. Did calvin ever take a polygraph. And the answer is no. He refused to and in two thousand eighteen. The public learns why seven years after charlie nixon's death and forty five years after being abducted by aliens. Calvin publishes a book about his experience and the world finally. Here's his side of the story. The real story it turns out for the past. Four decades calvin has been lying to the newspapers and to law enforcement. He didn't black out that night. Light charlie he remembered everything he floated into the spaceship and was taken into a separate room. That had a fourth smaller alien in it. It sent messages to his mind telling him not to be afraid. Like charlie a silver. I examined him before he was dropped back onto the riverbank outside according to him. He only said he didn't remember to protect himself. He didn't want to have to answer everyone's questions to constantly relive that night. It seemed easier to just say that he couldn't remember and charlie agreed to go along with it. The bad news the fact that he lied at all casts a bit more suspicion on the story but that's ultimately outweighed by the good news when calvin comes forward with his full story. It encourages other witnesses to do the same later. That year a pascagoula woman contacts the mississippi sun herald she tells them under condition of anonymity that in december nineteen seventy-three. She saw a ufo flying over pascagoula and she wasn't alone at the time. She kept it a secret because she feared ridicule as she said. We just looked at each other put. Our is down and kept doing what we were doing. We were all embarrassed for some reason in two thousand nineteen two more. Witnesses came forward on the same day. Charleen calvin reducted jerry and maria blair. Were sitting in the parking lot of grams seafood directly across the river. From where charleen calvin were fishing for almost twenty five minutes. Jerry and maria watched a floating blue. Light fly back and forth over the pascagoula river. At first. they thought it was a plane or a helicopter but it moved differently after the blue light disappeared. They walked toward the river while standing on the pier. Maria heard allowed splash. She looked down in for a split second. Saw a strange creature in the water. It quickly dipped below the surface and out of sight. When maria read about the creatures calvin and charlie encountered her blood ran cold because they described exactly what she saw in the water when the blairs tried to talk about what they'd seen they received blank stares and dirty looks from their neighbors. It's exactly as calvin set.

"Back to the story barely two hours after they were inside a spaceship. Charlie and calvin find themselves captive again. But this time they're being examined by human investigators from the county sheriff's department both men have puncture marks on their arms which seems to match their account of what happened floating aliens with claus pinching them but still the deputies have a hard time buying their story. Charlie's breath smells like whiskey so they could just be drunk and pulling a prank become to find out. They're not charlie. And calvin both pass a sobriety test and when the investigators leave them alone together a private conversation convinces officials that they might actually be telling the truth. Charlie and calvin don't know it but there's a tape recorder hidden in the interrogation room when officers leave the room the two of them start discussing their experience and their entire exchanges. Record it when investigators play the tape back later. They're stunned. charlie. And calvin aren't comparing notes of what to say or how to keep their hoax going. They really come across as two people still processing the most traumatic experience of their lives. Now i listen to this tape. It's publicly available. I have to say there. Fear definitely seems genuine. Look it up for yourself if you don't believe me a few weeks later. Charlie submit to a polygraph test run by an independent agency and passes with flying colors regardless of what's true and what's not charlie. At least truly believes he was by aliens. As far as anyone can tell. Charlie and calvin stories or legitimate. They've been super cooperative. They're sane and intelligent but once the reports are filed. There's not much more anyone can do. The aliens are gone. Investigators can't track down a spaceship. They wouldn't know where to start as for. Charlie and calvin. What do you do after you report your alien abduction to all the appropriate channels to move on. Who else do you tell everyone no one. How do you cope for these to. The answer is very differently. Calvin the one who doesn't remember much of the abduction essentially shuts down and becomes a recluse. But charlie the one who remembers most of it gets the idea that he must have been chosen by the aliens by fate by god for some greater purpose. He doesn't know what it is exactly but it will probably become clear at some point in the meantime he's happy to keep talking. And there are loads of people willing to listen by mid morning. The day after the abduction. The story has already broken nationally soon. Everywhere charlie turns. There's a camera and a reporter asking him a question. Journalists from the l. a. times and rolling stone magazine call him for interviews. He appears on the dick cabbage. Show and the tonight show with johnny carson. The attention puts pascagoula on the map. The small town becomes a hot spot for ufo enthusiasts from all over the country but after a few months charlie needs a vacation from the media in january nineteen seventy four. He travels to a friend's farm for a long day of hiking and hunting squirrels. He spends the morning navigating dense forest by mid day. He stops for lunch and notices that. He's weirdly alone in the forest like to alone. No birds singing. No squirrels around. Something is driving the animals away. And then charlie sees it the same spaceship from october hovering in clearing about twenty five yards away before he can scream a familiar voice runs through his mind and it says we mean you no harm we mean no one any harm. You may communicate with us later. You have endured. You have been chosen. There is no need for fear. We will communicate again according to charlie after hearing the message. It's like a thousand pound weight lifts off his shoulders when he gets home. Charlie tells his wife blanche that he's not afraid anymore. The alien say they only have good intentions and this time he believes them he's also completely validated. The aliens really did select him to serve some greater purpose. He's still doesn't know what exactly that purpose is but he sure they'll let him know the next time they make contact which happens just one month later. According to charlie in february nineteen seventy four aliens. Beam another message into his brain. This time they give him a mission. You must tell the world we mean no harm. Your world needs help. We will help in the future before it's too late. You are not prepared to understand yet. We will return again soon. And they do and the next time they returned. The voice is just in. Charlie's head on may twelfth nineteen seventy four. Charlie's family takes a trip to his parents farm. Which is a couple hours away. It's a bit of a tight squeeze with eight. Passengers totes charlie and blanche their son two daughters. They're son-in-law their granddaughter and this guy ernest who's a relative through marriage on the way back to pascagoula everyone in the car. Notices strange light in the sky at looks like it's following them. The light raises past the car. And once it's ahead of them they can see it more clearly. Charlie instantly knows what's going on. It's a spaceship but not the same one that abducted him. This one is bigger about a hundred feet long with a row of windows down the side now for everyone else in the car. This is terrifying. They all start screaming. But charlie he feels inexplicably drawn to the craft. He's like i feel it calling me which is not the right thing to say at this moment. Everyone else in the cargoes. Ballistic blanche can't stop sobbing. His kids beg him to stay in the car. Then another voice appears in. Charlie's mind that says go. There will be another time another place. It's like the aliens know about the family drama happening in the car. And they don't want to get in the middle of it. The graft speeds away and charlie is left in a car full of his crying relatives but that other time and place it never comes. That's the last time. Charlie ever is contacted still up until the day he dies in two thousand eleven. Charlie spread the word that aliens are real and they mean us no harm his son. Eddie said quote. The only thing he wanted to do was let everyone know we were not alone. He didn't care if you believe him or not. If you wanted to listen by gum he tell you. But charlie wasn't the only one abducted. He may have lived his life like an open book. But it took forty five years. For calvin parker to finally tell all coming up calvin side of the story. This episode is brought to you by.

Two year old. Charlie hickson in nineteen year old calvin parker or fishing on the pascagoula river despite the age difference or super close family friends.

The shipyard were charlie's a- format by nine pm. The sun has set in. They're about ready to pack up but before they go home they try out one last fishing spot appear by the old shopping or shipyard and that's when things get weird as charlie reaches into his tackle box for a piece of bait. Here's this zipping. Sound coming from behind him. It's loud enough. That he and calvin both turn around and they see this vehicle in the distance. That has these blue flashing lights at first. Calvin some cops are poking around his car. But the lights start to get closer and calvin realizes it can't be the police. He's never seen any squad car. That's the size of a yacht and floats in mid air. Yeah whatever this vehicle is is now about seventy feet away hovering two feet off the ground. And it's huge about thirty feet long charlie. In calvin stare at this thing in total confusion. They have absolutely no idea what to do or what to make of it and before they can formulate a plan a super bright light shoots out of the. I guess you'd call it a ship. The lights coming from a door on the side of the ship which is opening and something is coming out of it before they know it. Charlie and calvin are face to face with three strange looking creatures. They're about five feet tall and have somewhat human features like they clearly have arms legs ahead but they're covered in loose gray skin almost like an elephants and their faces are like nothing the men have ever seen. There are these sharp pointy spikes or their nose and ears should be their eyes and mouths look like slits kinda like a snake's nostrils but they could just be flaps of wrinkled skin charlie and calvin can't tell and despite having legs they don't use them like their ship. The creatures hover. About two feet off the ground. And as they float towards charlie and calvin the two men noticed their hands there too long pincers that look like lobster claws now the men become completely frozen in fear because they don't run they just stand there as one of aliens reaches out and grabs calvin by the arm. With one of its claws. The pinch is followed by a sharp pain. And then nothing. Kelvin's whole goes numb. He's completely paralyzed. The last thing calvin remembers is his body floating inside the spaceship and being surrounded by a brilliant light after that everything goes dark. Charlie on the other hand still has his bearings. Whatever the aliens did to. Calvin doesn't seem to work on charlie after getting pinched charlie's paralyzed but completely awake as the aliens flow his body inside the ship. He comes to a stop inside a brightly-lit room without being able to move his neck. He can't see much of what's around him but he can see what looks like a large screen that has a strange football shaped crystal inside. It's small silver and moves around like an eye. When charlie passes by the screen the crystal starts examining him moving up and down. Like it's taking a scan this whole time. Charlie has no idea where calvin as he tries to scream his friend's name but he quickly realizes he can't he physically can't make any noise and that's when the reality of the situation starts to set in charlie is completely and totally vulnerable. He can't move he can barely see. He has no idea what these aliens planned to do to him. I mean for all. he knows. They're going to cut him open and examined his insides like every sifi story with thankfully. That's not what happens. Charlie doesn't see any of the creatures again. He slowly regains his mobility and aliens just float him out of the ship. They're still in mississippi. Right by the river as charlie's hovering above the riverbank. The aliens release whatever hole they have on him and his body slumps. The ground calvin is already standing on the riverbank arms outstretched with a look of terror on his face. Charlie gets up to greet his friend as he does he. Here's another zipping sound. He turns around just in time to see the ship with its blue flashing lights. Raise straight into the air and blink out of sight. And just then charlie. Here's a voice in his head. Say we're peaceful. We mean you no harm and then it's over. It's eerily still on the riverbank. The only movement is coming from calvin who understandably is freaking out unlike charlie. He's been knocked out this whole time. He has no idea what happened to him and neither one knows how much time has passed until they make it back to their car. It turns out. It's only about ten pm. The entire abduction only took an hour naturally. Charlie and calvin sit in their car for a bit. Just trying to make sense of what happened. Who had it worse. Is it better to know more or less but before long the conversation becomes about what they should do next. At first charlie tells calvin they should probably keep the whole encounter to themselves but after some swigs of whiskey their nerves are steeled and they changed their minds. they have to tell someone. It's the right thing to do. Sure the alien said they mean no harm but how can they sure there aren't about to trust a bunch of space creatures that paralyzed and abducted them and if this happened to them it could happen to someone else to and maybe the next time people won't be so lucky. So around ten fifteen. Charlie and calvin drive to a pay phone and call the us air force. The kiesler airforce base is only about thirty miles away but after breathlessly reporting their account the men learned that the air force doesn't really care. The woman on the other end tells him that the air force no longer handles alien encounters the air force did spend a ton of time investigating ufo sightings across the country. But the last study code-named project blue book ended in nineteen sixty nine after that. The air force shelf their alien tracking efforts for good. Which leaves charlie in calvin at a loss. They're afraid that if they call the local sheriff's office. We laughed off the line or worse sent to a psychiatric hospital but as they drive home the eventually decide. The ridicule is worth it by the time. Charleen calvin call. The sheriff's department is around eleven pm. When a captain answers the phone charlie begs him not to laugh at what he's about to report after the captain assures him that he'd never charlie says well we got picked up by a ufo and the captain immediately breaks his promise. He bursts out laughing but after he gets it all out of his system. He tells the two men to come down to the station. he's willing to hear them out..

"County fair so people got back into the comfort and the the the The good feeling of doing those things that we consider normal and stopped wearing masks and now we see the state that we're in and i think that it's really a situation where we need an all hands on deck approach and i would. I would say no. There's no need in going back and finding fault but yet less move forward because what we're doing what we've been doing. These last few weeks has not been working When you look at five thousand new cases from last friday we can project that that's gonna mean eventually additional three hundred and fifty hospitalizations just from that one day and potentially a hundred doubts. And i'll tell you why we can't take it. We cannot say what we've been doing from what's not been working dodge. Were forgive me for jumping in on you there Here you really loud and clear about the critical state of the system overall in mississippi and at the as well i to just touch on what this means for for life more broadly in the state even outside hospitals because the pandemic affects everything. So let's take a minute to talk about education and joining us. Now is wayne ridolfi superintendent of the pascagoula goat. School district joins us from pascagoula superintendent. Welcome america glad to be how you doing you do right. It's a lot of information. You're covering today. So what school going to look like. We opened our schools. Normally and i've made a decision with our school board early after comparing year-over-year numbers from last year to this year because mask optional was the new favourite term of school districts this year and we convened a meeting With our board to where we Made it mandatory for all of our students and teachers to wear a mask In the first month of school to be re evaluated in september So we could try and protect our people as one of the ways that we would try to protect our people in our schools. Was that a popular decision. It wasn't a popular decision with some people but for the most part People got on board. I actually do did a facebook video not published because i wanted people to be able to respond to it and get a feel for how they would react enough since done. A second video to ask people to get vaccinated. We actually have some vaccination drives that are gonna occur on our campuses in the school district But we did not have one person come to our board meeting in in public comment and say anything about it. Because i believe we articulated the reasoning behind it very well even though we have some people who are strong opponents of Students not having the option of whether they can or can't wear a mask okay. So that's great news right because elsewhere on facebook people across the country. Not not just regarding. What's happening in districts mississippi but in other districts have been seeing very angry battles going on over whether or not staff and students should be should be masked in school. So you're saying that you haven't had those battles in the district so we we. We've had one letter written by one parent And we had you know. Of course you're gonna have the people who are going to be on social media that are gonna make all types of comments but as far as anyone actually formally coming into play complaining to our. That has occurred. Okay so then what do what do you think the difference is between what you're doing and what we're seeing elsewhere as you know the the way that you've been communicating. What the decision around masking was. Well i think providing the statistics number one also being in touch with our local healthcare system single river health system on a there Made sure that i contacted him. To let him know what our move is going to be also contacted our state organisation this association of school superintendents to let burchfield know that this was the move we were about to make and we were the first on the mississippi gulf coast and wwl x. broadcast That we were going to be the first ones to require mass skin. Then you know in succession multiple school districts that were mask optional. Have now become a mask required so in a sense like the school district's could actually be leading in in in making it acceptable in providing the reasons for for for masking out across mississippi. Well i think it's our duty locally to make that determination about what we can do to keep our children safe and our teacher safe because you can't have school without both of those groups and also think it's important that we monitor what the numbers are because these numbers. This year are much higher than they were last year at the same time. And that was one of the decision One of the principles that we use to make that decision was the number of students go compared to last year this year. Well wayne ridolfi superintendent of the pascagoula gutierrez school district in pascagoula mississippi. Thank you so much for joining us today. Programme okay so dr so nick juden in dr woodward we've just literally have a minute left here and still so much more to cover dr woodward. I'm wondering if you could give us a quick answer about whether or not you think that the underlying fragility of mississippi's health system. That has been revealed by the pandemic that after hopefully knock on wood. We all beat back. This pandemic endemic. Whether now there's going to be you think there's hope for for doing more about strengthening that healthcare system in the state in the long run we just got about thirty seconds left. I have to say yes. I have to hold out hope that that will happen. That we've learned these lessons and that will use them.

"She's just drunk. That's my old lady. Yeah and he was a big dude to. It's worth noting. He was not your tiny man so makes perfect sense that he was able to overpower these women so easily. She was able to make her way to the back of the cargo area of the car and squeeze her way out. She was wearing only her shorts and flip flops but she ran across the highway to a nearby shipyard because she knew that they were about to do a change of shifts and she would be able to kind of get lost in the crowd so which is exactly what she did. She was essentially shrouded by the workers who are flooding out onto the streets because she was concealed in them. She was able to make her escape and make our way back home. Some people then took her to the hospital and it was reported the hospital that she literally had blood like seeping from her is like tears from being choked and beaten and the she couldn't swallow for two weeks. And this is the one i was thinking of. No police officers even came to the hospital and she never made a report. She is quoted as saying during her testimony that they don't care nothing about black prostitutes in pascagoula. So these poor women. I can't imagine feeling so much like the world didn't respect your care for you at all makes me wannacry feel really really really bad for them. Yeah the prosecuting attorney. In the case of beth silverman believed this to be true as well and as quickly as saying they were women who law enforcement at the time were unlikely to take seriously on many of the women. Little murder were transgender and much like today. They were a marginalized group of women. Group of people on historically law enforcement did not seem to focus too much attention on finding out who committed crimes against these women in these women. Being black women black prostitutes prostitutes transgender people transgender prostitutes. They didn't really care no not at all. It's unfortunate we have to do better and actually are better but it's slowly but surely yeah The f. b. i. Has many videos posted where little himself describes his unidentified victims and only watch it. If you want to be seriously pissed off. Because it's i made it through to and he was such a gloating bastard and seemed so gleeful in cheerful and literally. One of the videos says how he loved. Oh that that one. Oh yeah. I remember her. I loved her. I mean he's was just a sick foul disgusting human being. I just can't even with it. But if you have some family or someone whose family went missing around this time during this timeframe and they haven't been found definitely you can go and look because the hope is that some will recognize their loved one from the information that the fbi's providing and they can hopefully identify them. Many of the bodies were never found because he dumped them in areas where there were swamped so they were probably eaten by alligators or other areas. Were animals were likely to have consumed them so he has said i killed these people but there are no bodies to any dna sampling or anything for families to claim them back to how reminiscent of john wayne. Gay see like he still has a decent portion of victims who are still unidentified like just people who they could not pinpoint And to the stay people are still working to like attempt to identify like if they had a family member. Go missing at the time of which these people committed these crimes in these specific areas. Luckily now we've gotten pretty. Far is far as dwayne hand What we can do remaining skeletons and stuff like that but your other also drawings of the women that little drew himself and you can view these videos in drawings on just fbi dot gov website which could also help you identify starting to rain really hard but could also help you identify Someone that you may be missing. Yeah samuel little died. At the age of eighty on december thirtieth twenty twenty so very recently a cause of death was not released I'm kind of sick and elbows painful. But he did have diabetes and heart disease and some other things and he was eating so they could have just been natural causes. Looked to see is raining. Hell art out there right now. You guys might be listening to a tournament but so yeah yeah. It was This is going to end up being kind of a shorter episode which is kind of strange considering ninety three victims. They're really just wasn't a whole. I didn't want to go through in detail victim after victim felt kinda morbid. I will say i have a little story which is what made us one. Look into this case to begin with. But i was at a birthday party of a week or so ago like around father's day time and there was someone there that i was talking to whose parents believed that they came into direct contact with sam little because when he went to prison for the final time they mapped out is like trek across america. Because this man was gone everywhere like he was not staying in one place and they. Her parents said that they were driving the back roads. I'm assuming like across the river like that weird area where where we live in illinois missouri is right across the river right there and I'm assuming that's where they were driving. And they said that they saw this man who flagged them down on the side of the road and he was asking them for directions from saint louis to chicago. Like how can get there. What is the best way for me to take on. Didn't have a car at the time that they know of and they were like trying to help them out like. Oh this is how you get there. And then he asked to like come in their car and it's a hard look at their map and she said that her mom realized that he had like medical gloves on his hand. And this was like nighttime in the back country woods roads whatever and she was like no. I don't think we're going to do that like that's a little odd. And they just like sped off. But they didn't think anything of it until later when sam was caught in like at the exact time that they.

Ruth Sherlock NPR NEWS Beirut 2020 was a year of crisis for many cities across the US from the pandemic to protest against police brutality to an intensely polarized election climate. In places like Seattle in ST Louis Mayer's have opted not to run for reelection, citing the toll the last year has taken on them and their families. The latest is Atlanta's Qi Sha Lance Bottoms, a rising star in the Democratic Party, who now says it's time to move on. Georgia Public Broadcasting, Stephen Fowler reports. Visual AIDS bottoms has faced many challenges running Atlanta from a major cyberattack that crippled services three months after taking office in 2018 to an ongoing federal investigation into her predecessors administration. And there were plenty of clashes with Republicans in the White House and the Georgia governor's mansion. But 2020 was something else. There was a pandemic. There was a social justice movement. And that every turn and every opportunity this city rolls above. Like many urban areas, Atlanta was hit hard by the Corona virus pandemic, and the summer was rife with protests over police shootings both here and across the U. S. Bottoms decision to walk away stunned people in Atlanta and beyond. But she's far from the only leader who was worn weary by last year's turmoil. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced last December she would not seek another term. Former ST Louis Mayer Lyta Crewson retired in April instead of running again, and Commonwealth magazine reports that nearly one in five mayors in Massachusetts is stepping down. Harvard professor Juliette Kayyem lead crisis management training for mayors at the start of the pandemic and isn't surprised Many are moving on. It was a burden that really had no precedent. And so it doesn't shock me that many of them woke up. And just thought, What do I want next? Or am I able to be effective in the future? Ambassador Andrew Young was mayor of Atlanta for most of the 19 eighties, he says, leading a big city nowadays as one of the most thankless jobs in politics. You're not only not thanked your blamed for everything that goes wrong. So take the normal everyday issues that plague a city like inequality, Crime and policing. Add on a once in a lifetime pandemic, and you might see why mayors could be burned out. The question is How prepared is anybody to run a city in 2021? From Atlanta to Columbia, South Carolina to Pascagoula, Mississippi, a generation of local leadership is going away. But Juliette Kayyem says that's not necessarily a bad thing this year in the last year also galvanized a younger generation about what government ought to do and what the American public should expect from governments. Despite the challenging circumstances, 2020 dumped into the laps of mayors with already difficult jobs. There has been no shortage of new volunteers seeking to lead cities and to the future. That's certainly true in Atlanta, where several candidates have already put their names in the hat to tackle issues like rising crime rates, income inequality and other challenges that face an ever growing city.

And you've had this quarter of a century stand at At maryland and you are really synonymous with with racing here and that includes through preakness and it seems like i'm sure opportunities floated up and into the arena. But you seem very much tied to the things here. I is a lot of people that could do this job to call the preakness tomorrow. A lot of really good announcer in this country. Some parral lot better than i am. Perhaps you know opinion wise but I just happened to look into the situation and ninety one where it was year round job we had i think two hundred and plus racing days back then and now and then things kind of went down in the valley a little while and we've got a bike one hundred and forty one hundred something and now we're back to one sixty seven maryland. Researchers in the appeal really was to kind of stay in one place year round. Tough thing to do when calling races you know. We had our little stint in virginia. Where a lot of the maryland crew and the valid and some of the riders and the gate crew would go to virginia so it was still year round even though is a bit of a drive. We're still in one region so very appealing. It's very stable. Job and grateful for it in terms of in terms of the history here and i mean you've obviously had tons of great moments and and when you've got the middle jewel of the triple crown every year to look forward to but that isn't the only that that's not the only opportunity for distinction. The things like things like maryland million and any number of of big stake races General george we had the dc international apps. I mean it's coming back the research. I mean our laurel meat was up. I think thirty five percent twenty plus percent on track the the pimlico. Meet even though. The weather's not been really cooperative. It's been strong. We've had some strong pools here and hoping for a nice weekend tomorrow as ticket. Sales are up but you know the international coming back maryland. Lots of great horses. You know most famously. Now benz cat you know. Make the national scene out of here and catherine sophia maryland-breds so.

5 tropical cyclones are in the Atlantic at the same time for only the second time in history
"Tonight for the first time in nearly fifty years. They've ocean is home to five rapidly growing named tropical cyclones with one hurricane sally set to slam into the southern coast tomorrow for the very latest I'm joined by ABC News. Chief meteorologist Ginger Zee now Ginger Hurricane Sally is clearly strengthening as it approaches your location in Alabama? Where do you see the storm heading? Juju I'm in the heart of mobile and you've got things like that building with sandbags in front of it, and that is for good reason from here back through coastal Mississippi that's where the brunt of the storm is going to impact. So let's look at on the satellite got lot better organized as we went through today, and that's going to keep going as it moves really painfully slow to the West northwest it will finally start to make that northern tick tomorrow afternoon and evening, and we expect landfall sometime around midnight or thereafter early Wednesday morning. So this is a slow. Storm that means that rain is going to be a big time issue and part of the slowdown is that stationary front making it almost defense you see we stopped the clock at about midnight. It looks like it should make landfall somewhere close to Pascagoula Mississippi if it does by the way, make landfall in Mississippi as a cat to that's the strongest we've seen in. Mississippi. Since Katrina in two thousand five that looks like wrong place wrong time. Now, there are always multiple threats as a storm approaches. There are already dire storm surge projections. What worries you the most about Sally. Storm surges what loses most life and property and storms. So six to nine feet in some places others up to eleven. Let me break it all down for you get warnings all the way from eastern Louisiana through the Florida panhandle. Now, it breaks down and closer to the center of the storm. In the northeast quadrant, we call it the dirty side of the storm. That's where you'll pick up some of the hefty so. From Mobile Bay. Back through deloise pass Christiane that's where we're most concerned. Now we also have rainfall and I don't want anyone if they're inland to say, Oh, this is just a coastal storm. By no means, you get fifteen to twenty inches on top of that storm surge right at the coast. That's not good especially here in mobile but go up to Gumri or even Atlanta and you could see a half a foot arrange.
The Amateur Traveler Podcast
Travel to the Mississippi Gulf Coast
"Let's talk about Mississippi's Gulf coast. I I like to welcome the show Charles. McColl from McCall Travel Dot Com and Charles's come to talk to us about coastal Mississippi Charles. Welcome mm to the show. Hi Chris how are you today. I'm doing well and we're talking about the state of Mississippi. What is your connection with coastal Mississippi? As a travel writer. I have visited the coastal Mississippi a few times over the past two years and after going there three or four times. I decided that I loved that area and other parts of the US Gulf coast. So much that I developed a new brand called. US Golf coast which covers everything from key. West South Padre but we are talking only about coastal Mississippi debut today so as a travel writer I covered it several times. Excellent and why should someone go to coastal Mississippi. We'll we'll talk about many things but it is is unique. The unique destination the United States. It has the longest continuous beach in the United States. Which I think a lot of people don't know I love road road trips? I travel all over the world. Love driving and there's this sense of soul fulfillment I drive on the Mississippi Gulf coast. I where it's just different than anywhere else. You can drive for an hour and not see anything except for the sand in the water is unobstructed by condos and indulge and restaurants. And what have you so this this great peace and calm and different than anywhere else. Excellent and what kind of itinerary tenorio you're going to recommend for us. It's not a singular destination. There are many communities there. So I'm GonNa recommend some things to do in each of the communities go along the coastal Mississippi. It's all still call the Mississippi Gulf coast. So I'M GONNA use both terms interchangeably. I don't want you to drive fifty miles in one day for lunch and then go drive fifty miles back so I will concentrate on the various communities and say all right first day. You're going to be here second day. You're going to be here and so on and we can do a three four five seven ten very well. Let's get into it where you're GONNA start it. Let's start in Pascagoula. So Mississippi is between Alabama and Louisiana China so coastal Mississippi represents the entire Mississippi Gulf coast so over on the east side closest Alabama Alabama. If you're driving from mobile the first thing you're gonna hit is Pascagoula. The city is probably most famous. because it's where Jimmy Buffett was born. Okay I did not I know that. Yeah so that's going to set the expectations for what the coastal Mississippi areas. All about thank Jimmy Buffett was born there so we're already at our five o'clock somewhere attitude. Pascagoula is also a navy base. So there's a lot of military and also industry the street going on there but it's it's a seafaring community. It's laid-back relative to some of the other cities. We'll talk about. Well what are we going GonNa do in Pascagoula one of the things that happened in past the goal of that as I guess lesser known as that one of the biggest UFO abduction stories in in US history happened there. So back in the seventies the couple of people claim that they were abducted by UFO. And so they were never disproven even so. That's one of the most famous things that happened in Pascagoula. Okay but other than being abducted by aliens. What am I going to do in Pascagoula for won a narrow down here to the the oldest house in Mississippi isn't Pascagoula okay? It's called the lapointe Krebs House and museum now so I went. There are a couple of months ago and I was fascinated by Howell. They showed the construction of how house was done in the bleed was the seventeen. Twenty s house was built the How they use the for the the hair from animals as insulation in the house and things like that kind of interesting Seventeen fifty seven. Is there anything specific renovated the Krebs House. We're going to go to the Krebs House. You could probably spend a couple of hours there. It's a nice waterfront setting and you can get some history of the. The natives that lived in the area and then European settlers came in and saw a whole history of Mississippi but the main point there there's to see the the house and the oldest house in the Mississippi Delta region I think between Minnesota and the Gulf of Mexico. It's the oldest house that's still in the American frontier. I'm thinking New Orleans would be older than that but I mean the city might be but I'm not sure if there's a structure that's older than point good point. The city is older but I don't know if there are any of original houses. Okay Fair enough. But another thing that I really loved in Pascagoula. The Motto Bon Center. I believe the official is the best. Gula River Audubon Bond Center captain McCoy Relation on McColl. And there's a captain McCoy and he runs nature trips out of the Pascagoula River River Audubon Center and what I loved about. It is that I learn things. Obviously like you learn on most trips but the Pascagoula River is the longest. And I'm not going to get the the terminology right. It's the longest une damned river in the continental united in a at states. Yeah so I was fascinated by that and I was like well. What about this wherever they were like now? It was dammed at some point. So the Pascagoula River I believe is four four hundred and eighty miles. That is natural the way it's always been so it hasn't been dammed. It hasn't been obstructed by any kind of construction directions so you can see wildlife and nature the way that it was several hundred years ago. Something didn't expect expect to find in coastal Mississippi or anywhere else and you say wildlife. I'm picturing talking marshes birds alligators that sort of thing. Am I in the right right ballpark. You're right and one thing that that's dominant in this area or the Mississippi sandhill cranes which are relatively large bird. I'm sure there are in other parts that states but there is a sandhill crane refuge that none in Pascagoula but on the other side so I tend cuts through through the area so from mobile bill to New Orleans. You would drive high tech Postal Mississippi. I'm talking about everything. South of I ten okay. North of town the Pascagoula River would go up there. And that's where the sandhill crane. Refuges the birds. No birds don't recognize boundaries. They fly all over the place. So you can see that. I was on the riverboat tour. Okay the AUDUBON center is like most centers they want to promote the natural wildlife and the scenery. And that's so forth and it's a really hidden gem. I think that most people don't recognize will in because it has the name Audubon on it. I'm assuming calmly talking about birdlife predominantly. So yes okay. I don't know if everybody knows. I mean Audubon as a as a charity I think is well known but Google Audubon. You'll find what is James Audubon. Is that the a original one who did all the original drawings of birds in the early. US That's really neat. Watercolors this fascinating realistic catches does right. So I mentioned captain McCoy so you could take his crews out of the audubon center also wrench around Kayak and I did did that one time and going at your own pace around the marshes fascinating at least a dozen gainers and as close they would just scatter into the water. So I love love doing that at my own pace to excellent and John James Audubon. I got it almost John James. Okay when I said early. I didn't realize how early he was. He was born in seventeen eighty five and so he was basically drawing birds up until about the Mexican American war. You're in the US. And so as the frontiers were being filled in a he was out there with his sketch pad. MOM IN ESTA goal. There's obviously the Jimmy Buffett stuff to the native son. A I think he this family left when he was three and then he grew up in mobile but he has come back and he recognizes Pascagoula his birthplace so there is a beach and a bridge and his childhood home are all named for Jimmy Buffett. The parrot heads can go and pay pilgrimage to Jimmy Buffett and go visit some of those sites and one of my favorite places the Pascagoula is called bozos grocery. It's a very old school from the nineteen fifties place where you go in you place your order and you wait inside. been there two or three times. The last time I went kayaking at the river Audubon Center. In fact I got a takeout L. Poboy from Bozo's grocery and then took it on the Kayak. But it's this old school place where you go in and you place your order and you order order off the menu. You don't make up stuff and there was some guy in front of me. That was a visitor and he wasn't a local either and so he went on these. ZAC Oh can I make this substitution. Know what's on the bed. Yeah and I was like basically your choices are you. You get what you WANNA shrimp boat boy. You want poboy poboy being sandwich. A sub someplace else or a hoagie or a hero depending on where you're from but a pavilion in this region of the world. Okay and shrimp being the best known. One that I now. They're also known for their Fried Oysters. Poboy so okay. I got a half in half half. It's amazing I had a couple dozen po boys and along the Gulf coast and I it's one of the better ones side totally recommend going to Bozo groceries to get to take out to go kayaking or he.
