Speaker 1

About robbery units.

Speaker 2

Hey, zip it shright is laughter? Ten o'clock Thursday.

Speaker 1

Dan Mason's unit.

Speaker 2

Time to do Cops Rock. We'll do you a little bit after. I want to talk about it. I want to talk about Dan Mason's unit. All Rightop, you know why why Dan.

Speaker 3

Mason has an impressive unit. But before that, Dave Jennings.

Speaker 4

We also mix in some first responders besides police officers as well on Cops Rock. It's one big, happy family that we all need. Last Friday, an off duty paramedic and an obgyn saved the life of a sixteen year old who became unconscious during a tennis tournament in Gaines Township, Michigan. According to the Kent County Sheriff's Office, the two performed CPR and rescue breaths on the team until deputies arrived

and took over. When they arrived, they took over and used an AED, an automated external defibrillator to deliver a single shock. That teenager immediately responded, then transported to the hospital for further treatment and is doing well all right.

Speaker 2

Whenever you get to those places, the tennis place is to work out the gyms. Find where that is because they have him on the wall somewhere.

Speaker 3

How odd, Tony giving us hard advice? You know, it was really good at those defibrillators.

Speaker 4

Who Sergeant Dan Mason all right and his unit? I missed something obviously.

Speaker 1

Have you never seen Sergeant Dan Mason's unit.

Speaker 2

Yeah, he's in the robbery unit.

Speaker 5

Sorry, I got some stuff to say about my boy. Go ahead, Jenny, this one's kind of different.

Speaker 4

In August, Keith Young from San Antonio experienced a life threatening situation when his heart suddenly stopped at home.

Speaker 1

Tony, you want to wagh in on this.

Speaker 4

He was upstairs getting ready to shower when he sensed something was wrong, prompting him to signal for help by pounding on the floor. His wife, Rachel, immediately called nine to one one when she found him struggling to Breathe lost consciousness soon after. Moments later, she got a text from Randy Rustin. Love Randy, He's a good guy. Randy Rustin's great dispatcher with the San Antonio Fire Department, who used new emergency response technology to assess through a live

video link sent to her phone. He was able to see Keith's condition in real time, observing vital signs such as heart rate and skin tone. It allowed the dispatcher to be virtually on site as he guided Rachel through CPR until paramedics arrived. Keith survived and has fully recovered.

Speaker 1

I know all about pounding the floor.

Speaker 2

Okay, So international sign when you had everyone needs to learn this, right. Oh wait, The international sign when you're having heart trouble, right, is to grab your chest and then you say you put your hand to the air. Uh huh, and you go, wheezy easy, I'm coming, I'm coming.

Speaker 1

It's Alizabeth.

Speaker 2

It's Elizabeth.

Speaker 3

Listeners, you know how foolish they look saying wheezyst to have Elizabeth?

Speaker 2

I know. Let's try it again, elizabebit, I'm coming to John. You and everyone in the room will go, oh, he's having a heart attack. That's right, that's the international sign. I'm having a hard.

Speaker 3

And Todave's story right there. Remember the most important thing when someone's having a heart attack is to check their skin tone.

Speaker 2

Evidently, uh so, wheezy was on.

Speaker 5

Uh Jefferson's Yeah, moving on up.

Speaker 4

And In the aftermath of Hurricane Aleen, the Asheville Fire Department has recovered hundreds of photos along the Swannanoa River. Along with other officers and volunteers. Detective Sam de Grave has been leading the effort to recover and return these photos to their owners. They were found during flood zones searches as the police were working on evacuation and rescue efforts. He first found a photo of a young girl while checking for people in need of rescue, and began collecting more.

He thought the picks would initially be useful in identifying who'd been accounted for, but over time he realized the personal significance they held for families who lost their homes, so other detectives, female workers, and volunteers soon joined the effort to gather and return them.

Speaker 2

So many of those stories, it's very sad when they come back and they're like but they have to say to the camera, well, the most important thing is that we're alive. But they're looking at their property we wiped out, and they're like everything we had was in this house, like everything.

Speaker 4

And Matt Sanders I saw a bid on. It was a hit on DRB. I couldn't find a printed story, but it was an officer Abernathy delivering groceries and things to folks.

Speaker 1

It was a good story.

Speaker 5

Yeah, they have Bev's Closet down at the downtown area patrol right there a second and Jeff the DAP unit started this thing called Bev's Closet a few years ago. And there was a feature that Stefan Johnson did the other day and essentially, like homeless can walk into our police station and route through donated clothes, jackets and shoes and stuff like colder two. Yeah, and it's a wonderful thing that not very many people know about. We've talked

about it for years. I'm gonna bring some clothes some jackets for you. I just drop them off from you or take them straight to second And Jeff right there at the corner of Kick, I don't think the homeless guys right there you walk in and right there you.

Speaker 2

Mean you people? Homeless people want skinny jeans, they want they want warm clothes. Why is all.

Speaker 1

The homeless where lululemons? Trinity crap.

Speaker 2

It's a mock turtle turtles, So it's a little warmer than just a regular All.

Speaker 3

Of a sudden, all of our home loooks look at Trinity graduates.

Speaker 1

Matt Sanders joins the show, How you doing to me?

Speaker 5

Good?

Speaker 1

To see you so much to talk about. First of all, I.

Speaker 2

Should stop signing in under different names when you come here today. He signed in his tim Walls. I thought that would get you to answer the door quicker.

Speaker 1

It's hard to get building.

Speaker 2

I'm the criminals everywhere. It's like Fort Knox in here. Sure you're Let's see a bag. What did I sign in his last week? I can't remember?

Speaker 1

It was?

Speaker 3

Sergeant bad Sanders joins the show. Let's talk about a lot going on. We're not going to get to it all, but I'm on social media, IM scrolling and I see what looks to be a body.

Speaker 2

No, hang on, we're gonna start with the pill thing first. So you said you wanted he wanted to start with the pills. He wanted to start with pills.

Speaker 3

What about what aboutbbery? Oh wait, wait, wait, wait wait. Before we do this, let me just say that this city is so blessed to have Sergeant Dan Mason's unit. Now go ahead with.

Speaker 2

Your robbery unit.

Speaker 5

Yeah, Dan Mason, I want to I do want to tell you. I want to take fifteen seconds in shout out our robbery unit. So they're an elite unit, they're nationally recognized Dan Mason may be the sergeant the robbery unit, but it's his detectives that actually do all the good work. And what I want to promote here today is that our business robberies from our rubber unit. We we doubled

the national average of solvable business robbery. So the national allage show is like thirty to forty twenty eight somewhere around there. Our robbery units clear right of sixty percent.

Speaker 2

I means you were either really good at your job or the other guys are really stupid.

Speaker 5

Well, you know, criminals do keep us in business. You know you could, but hey, man, but here's the thing about robbery.

Speaker 2

Criminals keep us business.

Speaker 5

When you rob a bank, you're going to and you get caught, you're going to prison. So most crimes in this community, people do think that you don't get the full punishment for But Robin grows. Yeah, so you're you're doing eighty five percent. You're doing the full bit, right. And so when when our robbery unit puts a strong case together makes an arrest, that person is going to prison for.

Speaker 1

A long time.

Speaker 3

To the departments out there, traffic and whatnot, you sure could take a page out of a sergeant Dan Mason's man.

Speaker 4

All right, homicide.

Speaker 2

This is important us.

Speaker 1

A little bit.

Speaker 5

So the only reason why I'm here today, the only reason we're not talking about eighteenth and not only all.

Speaker 2

Yeah, we are, we're going to talk about that and that's next.

Speaker 5

The only reason why I'm here today is to talk about this weekend is Prescription Drug take Back Day.

Speaker 1

This is a.

Speaker 5

National thing that the DEA does, and uh we did.

Speaker 2

We did one in April. We're doing one this Saturday.

Speaker 5

It's at a bunch of area Kroger and Walgreens locations Ballardsville, Popa Level, Hubbard's, New cut Taylorsville, Dixie, Holiday Manor or the Kroger locations for Walgreens, Fagan Bush, Westport, uh Frankfurt, Avenue, Hikes and Shelbyville. So all these locations, Look, get in your cabinets, get that expired crap out of your cabinets. As as we're gonna bundle up for the winner. You don't need that. That that whatever medicine that's that's been expired for two years holding on to.

Speaker 2

The toilet, don't bring it to us.

Speaker 5

Okay, Look, we have children that overdose on expired medication all the time, all the time. Don't throw it in the water, supply, don't throw it in the trash, donate it for free, give it back to the give it back to us, and we dispose of it safely. Okay, this is a big deal, and I'm gonna tell you how big of a deal it is. So we The last one we did was in April. This is a nationwide event. How many pounds of drugs do you think the DEA collected?

Speaker 1

Thirty five thousand?

Speaker 2

I know that's actually pretty close.

Speaker 5

Really, total weight of drugs collected six hundred and seventy thousand pounds. Wow, stop, three hundred and thirty five tons, Oh my god. Inspired nationwide, it was forty eight hundred total collection sites. This is just one event back in April. We do this twice a year. Forty six hundred law enforcement agencies participate in.

Speaker 2

This annual event. That's crazy.

Speaker 5

And the total weight of all time is almost ninety two hundred tons of expiredmental Wow. These are hydrochrot pills. I mean, I mean, get this crap out of our cabinets, chargeant Matt Sanders. I normally don't do this, but we'll make an exception.

Speaker 1

Oh my god, I'm.

Speaker 3

Going to volunteer my time to help collect drugs drug from.

Speaker 2

Background, get a good idea. That was the way. That's what you wanted to talk about today. Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1

Back down because I gotta ask about this.

Speaker 2

Let's talk about the steamy body.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 3

So I'm rolling through social media and I see a picture mistake which what looks like what looks like a body wrapped up in trash bags and duct taped. And I said, well, there's no way that's what this is. Is sitting on the street at eighteenth and Muhammed. So it's somebody playing a joke. There's no way this is a body. Turns out it is.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it's a body. Wow, Yeah it was a body.

Speaker 5

So Sunday morning is when L and P was we were dispatched on this. Some some people walking down the street actually found it and called us and we got there, and you know, in case it is a body, we don't want to tamper with it, of course, because the body is a very critical piece of evidence in any homicide investigation. So ripping it apart and poking add it, prodden at it, cover it with sheets, that's ill advised. Okay, there's science against it.

Speaker 2

What does it look like? It's a bag with some duct tape on it. Yeah, I mean it's like the neck was taped where you get it looked like. That's what made me think there's no way it's a body.

Speaker 5

Because it looks like, Yeah, it makes sense, especially around this time of year, holidays, in the.

Speaker 2

Side, it's in the middle, it's it's on in the middle of the road, street in the middle.

Speaker 1

Boat.

Speaker 5

Listen, it's alarming. Okay, So this doesn't happen every day, Okay, So we notified all media that it was a death investigation, and then the corner came and collected the body and took in and processed it. And then once the corner started digging a little deeper, we found out that that the body. They had to take the baggage and the tape and all that stuff off, and once the corner started to do their thing, they realized that it was in fact a body and it was shot multiple times.

So then we learned this on Monday. So then we updated all the media and said, hey, this death investigation is now we are confirming it's a homicide investigation.

Speaker 2

And the media ran with it. They say, hey, you know the body that was found in the Millistry eighteenth nonis now a homicide investigation. And then the social media kicked in, Yeah, and it kicked in, and it went in one thousand percent, and it was a train that we're trying to derail. The rampant regurgitated bull crap rumors that came out of unsubstantiated claims is ridiculous.

Speaker 5

Serial killer and listen, No, to my knowledge, Dexter Morgan does not know. That's exactly what I thought in Jefferson County what I saw, and I thought, Dexter from decks it sounds juicy, and everybody wants to spend the narrative, but look, actually you're you're you're kind of crapping on

the original scene here. I mean, this is a victim that was shot multiple times and then you know, essentially thrown in bags and taped and discarded, and that victim has a family, and then there's this narrative that's just getting blown up that there was bodies in the third division and can run and shanks and l and PD's not talking to us about bodies that are this is

the only body that we found this way. Okay, there's no serial killer this is an isolated incident, and our homicide unit probably not as good as robbery, but really really good all over this case.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 3

And you might not be able to comment on this, but sometimes in certain situations, individuals or sending goods, they want to send a message because it doesn't seem like it seems like leaving that body there is set in a message.

Speaker 2

I understand you're watching too much Breaking Back.

Speaker 5

Okay, So you're saying it if there was litten, if there was what we call it, the trash bag killer. Look, so you're denying that the existence of the trash bag killer.

Speaker 2

I am okay.

Speaker 5

And I'm denying cartel dismemberment involvement too, which is a bunch of other comments we got on our social media.

Speaker 2

I'm shooting it all down. I'm telling you it's isolated.

Speaker 5

Okay, and we will be very proactive with any developing leads in this case.

Speaker 1

I'm domics you all right. Will you keep us uh no, I don't want to say a breast around. Can you keep us.

Speaker 3

Advised on this when you know, maybe fires attacks or the news we can follow this case.

Speaker 1

It really is.

Speaker 2

Uh yeah uh. And again the juicy details are kind of crazy. But we'll talk about it later. But get your what's the day for the pill back? It's this Saturday, prescription drug take back.

Speaker 3

They get rid of those Which which one do you want me?

Speaker 1

Let's bring in my buddy Scott. Scott is with the Leukemia and Lafoma Society. Also my dear friend Sonny Styre. She's involved with this tool.

Speaker 2

Oh yeah, Joe's wife. Yes, I call him Joe. I don't know if he calls you mister you have you have to call him mister.

Speaker 1

Style the jay man.

Speaker 2

Shut up, I say, what's up? Jaster light the light to light the light thing is.

Speaker 1

To come on. Let's talk about sucker Field Baby.

Speaker 6

That's right, Louisville slugger Field Tonight. It is the event, the premier event.

Speaker 1

Yes.

Speaker 4

Uh.

Speaker 6

We're celebrating people who have been affected by blood cancer, whether it's patients, caregivers or their family. Doors open five point thirty, the event starts at seven point fifteen. We're gonna have food, trucks, games. It's free to get in, it's free to park, free to register. If you want to join us, just go to Light the Night dot org type in louis There will be all of our volunteer opportunities.

Speaker 2

We hope to see you out there.

Speaker 3

Talk about the different colored balloons in what they represent, because I think this is unique because that way you can identify all of this person's Effecteday they put.

Speaker 2

Those old lights tickets in the balloons, right yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6

So the lanterns are they're pretty unique. And when I saw them for the first time, I asked the same question, what do they mean. There's red, there's white, and there's yellow. The red ones are for any supporters of the patients and their families. So whether you're impacted or not. You just want to be their support. Grab yourself a red one. The white one is for survivors, and you know, thrivers

of the disease. So anybody that's actually had it been diagnosed, whether they're going through it or not, they get the white lantern. And of course the yellow one that's the one in remembrance of somebody that's close to you.

Speaker 2

That you've lost blood cancers. You all have made some headway here. There's some success rates that are way higher than they were twenty years ago. So when you say, great, I'm going to throw another hundred dollars to a charity. And you never know if it's working with leukemia and lufoma and blod diseases, in cancers, it's working. It's working.

Speaker 6

Yes, So seventy five years ago, all blood cancers were a death sentence, and lately there have been so many strides.

Speaker 2

And I'm not a doctor. I'm not going to use any of the big words.

Speaker 1

The personal.

Speaker 2

I just had to make sure you were good.

Speaker 6

But what's interesting everybody seems to know this car TI therapy, so ls they found a doctor he said, I want to supercharge white blood cells to teach the body to fight cancers just naturally, you know, through its own immune system. LLLS took a chance. They gave him some research money. Cart's cell therapy is growing. But that's exactly what they do. They take your white blood cells. They basically supercharge them, They teach them how to fight cancer and identify it.

They put it back in you, and then your body can actually fight it off. You have a much better chance to survival.

Speaker 2

But what are early signs of blood cancer? So look, we all we all have kids that complain about pain here or that. What what are some signs for parents and for people like maybe this is something different than just a little ache and pain. So that that's the thing.

Speaker 6

There's really no preventive measures for blood cancers, and a lot of times that there aren't any symptoms or signs. Now, I've met people who've gone through it. Some people complained of aches and pains. You know, people thought maybe they pulled a muscle or you know, maybe slept on their shoulder wrong and it wasn't getting better, or back pains, things like that, fatigue just overall just not feeling You.

Speaker 2

Just mentioned fifty five years old.

Speaker 6

Oh yeah, right, yeah, So for most of my older, older friends here.

Speaker 2

I don't want to I don't want to turn into weapons. So how did it just comes out in blood work?

Speaker 3

I guess in your year, either screenings normal for this or is you wait till something's wrong and then you get screened.

Speaker 6

Yeah, yeah, so, And I'll tell you some guy I met in Ohio. He was a professional bodybuilder, and he found out because they were testing his blood for steroids. Yeah, they called him and they said, hey, man, you're your white blood cells are way off the chart. You need to come in and take a look. So he walked in to the doctor, found out that day he was diagnosed with blood cancer.

Speaker 2

Had no idea, had no idea.

Speaker 6

And then I talked to another guy. He's a health nut. He's actually here locally in Louisville. He's a marathon runner, a biker, and he said he had just done something like eighteen miles on a bike and he went to the dentist and had some like a regular bleeding in his gums. And that's when he decided, you know what, this isn't normal, this isn't right.

Speaker 2

Went to the doctor, found out he was diagnosed with blake cancer.

Speaker 6

And of course, we meet people of all ages who like I mentioned back pain, lethargy, you know that kind of thing where there might be a sign, but for most people there's not.

Speaker 3

Do you find it odd that when you take a job like this with the leukemia the Fomo Society, the people come to you and they say, hey, I had this or my uncle has this, and they start revealing that they had blood cancer at some point where because people usually keep all this stuff to their self, When you take all this job to people start coming out would work and be more vocal to you?

Speaker 1

Oh?

Speaker 2

Absolutely? In one instance, I mean I took this job.

Speaker 6

I don't have a personal connection to blood cancer itself, but I felt an immediate connection to the organization. And when you know, I was telling my family, Hey, I'm accepting this job at Leukemia and Lymphomas Society. Suddenly I found out my uncle had chronically kemia for sixteen years. Crazy And my realtor called when I was looking to REFI and I was like, you know, I got a new job at LLS. And he's like, oh, my daughter

has had blood cancer for a year. And I mean I found out some childhood friends I've known for twenty years or so.

Speaker 2

You don't know what you were going.

Speaker 1

I remember, yeah, Mario Lemiu from the Penguins got diagnosed. I thought that's the end of Marvell.

Speaker 3

Speaker 2

I'm not a doctor. Wait what you're not a doctor? All right?

Speaker 1

They give me my chart.

Speaker 2

You were in example why y'all isn't and you're the Rolling Stones expert here? Right? Isn't it true that Keith Richards? Because I was like, couldn't you just take all the blood out of somebody that had blood cancer and put new blood in? That was Richard Gear.

Speaker 6

That's not yeah, that's that's like a certain set of billionaires.

Speaker 2

I think they do that.

Speaker 6

But actually, you know, there's there's stem cell transplants that are possible. I met somebody in Columbus two weeks ago in an event who she got a bone marrow transplant actually from an anonymous donor in Germany. Having to sign up on the worldwide DNA, they flew, they put it in her and now they've connected since then and he's actually flying into America for Thanksgiving.
