  • Happy Father's Day and Update on LaDonna Humphrey Episode

    Happy Father's Day and Update on LaDonna Humphrey Episode
    Jun 19 2024
    Hoping all of the fathers out there had a happy Father's day. I also give you an update and answer questions on the LaDonna Humphrey Episode.

    Statement from LaDonna on her Website Which includes a copy of the police report as well as the blindside text she was sent by Javier. I want you to keep in mind that when he posted parts of this foer his listeners, he DID NOT include the police report that exonerated her over her phone or the text where he lied about which show she would be talking about.

    Here is the full statemet LaDonna Made on Julie Murray and what happened with the Murray family.

    Statement from LaDonna Humphrey Regarding Julie Murray's Allegations

    For years now, because the Murray family has suffered greatly at the loss of their beloved daughter and sister, Maura Murray, I have tried to be respectful and not cast any negativity in their direction. In fact, to use Julie Murray's own words, I have tried to "engage with empathy." That is why I find it so sad and shocking that Julie has decided to come forward to make allegations against me.

    These are the facts: Let's Bring Them Home, a nonprofit agency that served the families of missing adults, did, in fact, launch a reward for information in the disappearance of Maura Murray. While I communicated with both Fred Murray and Helena Murray, I was not the sole decision maker in launching the reward. We had an entire Board of Directors that made that decision. Once we were asked (as an agency) to handle tips/information in a manner that made us uncomfortable, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to pull the reward. Nothing can change that fact.Any information I provided to James Renner on this indisputable fact was scanned in from a hard file and redacted to the best of my ability.

    The content of the message was not changed. The agency is long since defunct and none of the original board members or volunteers have access to the email account. It was deleted many, many years ago. All we have left is the information we provided to James Renner.When this situation came to light again several years ago, I regretted not standing up taller next to James Renner as he battled the Murray family and their harsh allegations against him.

    I have apologized to James, and I share this message with you now because, despite what Julie Murray wants to believe, it is the truth. I believe Fred Murray was overwhelmed with grief, anger, and a plethora of emotions because his daughter was missing. He's human, like we all are, and I believe he said things and made decisions he might not otherwise have done.

    But the fact remains that our agency, Let's Bring Them Home, issued a reward that we later retracted.If the world, based on Javier Leiva's slanted attempt at "journalism," chooses not to believe me, so be it. I have asked others from the former agency to reach out to James Renner to confirm the truth of what I am saying. As for Julie Murray, I wish her only the best and I hope to see her once again "engage with empathy."

  • Ep 33 3 Decades Cold Maria Jefferson and Chris McMullin

    Ep 33 3 Decades Cold Maria Jefferson and Chris McMullin
    Jun 8 2024
    In this episode, I talk to author and detective Chris McMullen and author Maria Viola Jefferson about their book 'Three Decades Cold.' The book tells the story of Chris's career as a detective and his work on cold cases. The conversation covers topics such as the process of writing the book, the challenges of being a left-handed person, the reality of police work compared to TV shows, and the emotional impact of solving cold cases.

    The book focuses on four specific cases, including the story of Lisa Todd, a Jane Doe who was finally identified after 19 years. The conversation explores the impact of cold cases on the detective and writer, as well as the importance of perseverance and dedication in solving these cases. It also touches on the Christopher Dorner case and the issue of the 'blue line' in law enforcement. The book, 'Three Decades Cold,' aims to inspire readers and shed light on the reality of unsolved missing persons cases.
