Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead serious and I am a little under the weather,

so I apologize for my nasal sound, but there's a really serious story that I needed to get to you.

So out of bed, little jush, little makeup,

and here I am because there is a senseless quadruple murder that has me just confounded. It

even though he was an accused quadruple murderer. Austin Drummond is a self-proclaimed member of the

almighty vice lord's gang with a violent prison record. There's disturbing audio from his past parole hearing, and I'm going to

play that for you in just a moment, so you get a sense for yourself what this guy is like. And it
