Welcome back to Unlocked. This week's episode is very different than any other episode that we have done.

And I am living for this moment. You all know kind of my life the past five years and especially the past three years and everything that I fought for for my parents

and uncovering corruption and abuses of power. And this is truly going to be a true crime

podcast. So if you're listening, just all I can say is prepare yourself because I had lunch with Tucker Slemons. I actually met him

through Pamela. You guys know Pamela, one of my best friends in the entire world. So met him

through her. We had lunch. And when Pamela reached out to me a few weeks ago, she was like,

his story. Like, you've got to hear it. This would be great for the

podcast. And we had lunch and I was dumbfounded. Like I didn't really know Pamela tried to tell

me a little bit about it, but I didn't understand the depths of it. There's so much. I'm going to

do my best to not confuse everyone. Yeah, right?

Because there's so much. So your background is just like California producer, correct? Yeah, so I

moved to L.A. when I was 17, found my way into reality TV development and production, and then fell in love with true crime. Isn't that, like, I tell people all the time, I like talk about the world of politics, I'm like, clearly I'm crazy. And then like true crime, you're like, all right, clearly, like something's wrong with me. Yeah, my mom thinks I'm crazy. Hey, it's fine. Someone has to think we're crazy, right? If you're not doing,

I like to say, like, when you're effective at what you do and you're making a difference, you're always going to have people that fight against you. Oh, yeah. And you've seen that firsthand. For sure. And I've been provocative on purpose, so I've kind of invited it upon myself. but you know that that's what you have to do to get an outcome that you need.

And so you are from Louisiana. so I've kind of invited it upon myself. But you know that that's what you have to do to get an outcome that you need.

And so you are from Louisiana.

South Louisiana, Washington Parish.

Okay.

And tell us a little bit about just like your upbringing.

I grew up, I guess, very privileged, which I even say in the podcast.

My dad's side of the family had clothing stores. My dad's side of the family had clothing stores.

My mom's side of the family had jewelry stores.

So it never crossed my mind that Washington Parish was the hotbed of corruption in Louisiana
