Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime podcast where I tell stories of real crimes with real victims,

0:11.7

whose cases are so shocking that many are left wondering, how is this even real?

0:30.9

I use my experiences in law enforcement, corrections, and combined with my years as a criminal justice educator, dig deep into complex cases of evil acts.

0:34.4

Some so evil, many feel they are unspeakable.

0:53.6

Warning, unspeakable is intended for mature audiences.

0:56.3

If you are easily offended, then I'm not your girl.

1:03.1

Listening discretion is advised. Hey y'all, KJ, you're back with part two of this next episode. This will be the conclusion episode.

1:07.7

I do want to start out by telling you that while I am going to conclude the episode this time, there is actually going to be a bonus one as well because there are follow-ups

1:11.5

and additions to this case that I think you might find interesting, and I know I certainly did.

1:16.7

So my Patreon members, be on the lookout for that bonus episode that will be dropping sooner or

1:21.5

later for you to get the follow-up on this. You won't want to miss very, very interesting

1:26.0

and current as of today. So you'll want to know that. Before I get started, though, I't want to miss. Very, very interesting and current as of today.

1:28.4

So you'll want to know that. Before I get started, though, I also want to tell you that I've got tons of shoutouts that I have to give. Obviously, I don't want to spend 30 minutes doing that. So I just do a few at a time each episode. So I know people are excited for those shoutouts. I promise I'm going to get to you. Just please give me a little bit of time because whenever you join, I don't record that exact day. And so it may be a little bit before you hear your shout out, but I will get to you. Also, if I miss one by some chance, always reach out to me because I certainly wouldn't miss you on purpose. And so just bring it to my attention and I'll make sure I handle it. I'm going to start this time, though, right in San Antonio, Texas, where I've got Ms. Rhonda George. She is a new member of the crime family. And you know, I love my Texas peeps. I got family there. And I've got a ton of listeners there that I have to say hello to. So Ms. Rhonda, hello. I'm going to then move over to Arlington, Texas.

2:18.9

And we're going to say hello to Ms. Mandy Ramirez. Hello, Mandy. Thank you so much as well.

2:24.3

And then, let's see, we've got even Plannersville, Texas here. Jessica Columbus, girl, I missed you somehow.

2:32.3

I realized the error of my ways please accept my formal apology

2:35.7

and I'm saying hello to you I'm waving in the camera when I make a promise I follow through

2:41.0

and so Jessica please accept my hello and my thank you so much for joining and supporting me

2:46.7

then we're going to jump right here into Louisiana and right here in Port Barry. I've got Molly Joe. Well, hello, Molly Joe. What's going on with you? I hope things are well. And then we can jump all the way to Virginia where I've got Ashley Snyder. I've never heard of Newport News, Virginia. That's a first for me. So I'm going to have to look that up and see where you are and what all goes on there. But Ashley, again, so stoked to have you as well. Now, tons more shoutouts coming. Stay tuned. I will get to you. And again, message me if you think I may have missed you. No problem there. All right. So a quick recap from part one of the Kayla and Thomas

3:25.8

Kootie saga. And they were, as a quick back story here, they were in the middle of a

3:31.2

contentious divorce. And if you haven't listened to the first episode, this is your chance to
