Summary

The 2012 Kidnapping, Torture, And Sexual Mutilation Of A Dispensary Owner In Newport Beach, California

**The sound quality of the first couple dozen episodes of this show isn't good; I was still learning!! Skip ahead about a year! Also, KD is no longer a part of the Orbital Jigsaw Network or Blubrry**

[Formerly titled "The Tale of Torture in the Desert"]. On October 1, 2012, a marijuana dispensary owner, who we will call John D, and his roommate Mary, we abducted by 3 masked intruders from their Newport Beach home and driven out to the Mojave Desert where it was believed John D was hiding a secret stash of money, buried someplace in the desert. Hear the details of their harrowing experience, and how far these three men would go in order to force John D into disclosing the location of his hidden money. Hossein Nayeri, Ryan Kevorkian, and Kyle Handley all conspired to pull off the kidnapping.

UPDATE: Naomi Rhodus was the final defendant convicted in the case. She pleaded guilty to accessory in the kidnapping in 2022 and was sentenced to 3 years of probation
