Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: McDonald says it's going to bring back a menu item
Speaker 2: it discontinued nearly a decade ago, just in time for lunch.
Speaker 2: Actually it won't be on the menu until July tenth,
Speaker 2: but snack raps will return to the McDonald's menus. Snack
Speaker 2: wraps were introduced in two thousand and six, but pulled
Speaker 2: about ten years later because they were ready. They were
Speaker 2: too complicated for the kitchen to prepare.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if they've changed.
Speaker 2: The building of a McDonald's snack rap, but supposedly they'll
Speaker 2: be coming back in July, so you can fill that
Speaker 2: snack rap shaped hole in your heart.
Speaker 4: Hi, Gary and Shannon Shannon. I miss you, and if
Speaker 4: you are suspended, I'm sure it was worth it. I
Speaker 4: don't even know what everybody's talking about, but you're my
Speaker 4: spirit animal and I think you're awesome and listening to
Speaker 4: you guys every single day and I can't wait for
Speaker 4: you to.
Speaker 3: Come back tomorrow.
Speaker 4: And I hope you're joining your time off oky Bye.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll hear from Shannon tomorrow.
Speaker 3: What else is going on?
Speaker 1: Time for What's happening?
Speaker 2: Quill An update on the Big Beautiful Bill now is
Speaker 2: that Elon Musk came out swinging. He has slammed the
Speaker 2: President's Big Beautiful Bill making its way through the Senate
Speaker 2: now as a disgusting abomination. Okay, that's a lot different
Speaker 2: than what he was saying last week. Elon Musk wrote
Speaker 2: on his social media platform Twitter, X whatever you want
Speaker 2: to call it. Quote, I'm sorry, but I just can't
Speaker 2: stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork filled congressional spending
Speaker 2: bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted
Speaker 2: for it. You know you did wrong, You know it.
Speaker 2: He went on to criticize the bill for setting up
Speaker 2: Congress to increase the already gigantic budget deficit to two
Speaker 2: point five trillion and put a crushingly unsustainable debt on Americans.
Speaker 2: So I suppose it's better that he did that after
Speaker 2: the President wished him bid him adieu from the White House.
Speaker 3: Yes last week, so not good.
Speaker 2: President Trump, speaking of, is threatening California again, following the
Speaker 2: transgender athlete from Yuupa High Valley High School competing in
Speaker 2: the state track and field event last week in Clovis.
Speaker 2: President Trump posted today on social media that Gavin Newsom
Speaker 2: fully understands large scale finds will it will be imposed.
Speaker 2: No idea what that means.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: The President doesn't have the ability to find a state
Speaker 2: for something like this, so.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the plan is we do, you know?
Speaker 2: The Department of Justice has opened its investigation to determine
Speaker 2: if the state law that allows transgender athletes, the one
Speaker 2: that was signed by Jerry Brown to compete in female
Speaker 2: sports teams at California schools, violates federal Title nine civil
Speaker 2: rights law that potentially could be where they see fines,
Speaker 2: but not just from the President. The Olympics got a new, big,
Speaker 2: huge sponsor. Team USA LA twenty eight and Honda have
Speaker 2: announced a new major sponsorship. The terms of the deal
Speaker 2: not disclosed, but it looks like this level of sponsorship
Speaker 2: starts at about two hundred million dollars. This deal fills
Speaker 2: the hole for the automotive category for the Olympics for
Speaker 2: LA twenty eight, considered one of the most most important
Speaker 2: when it comes to the Olympics. Toyota had been the
Speaker 2: auto sponsor they did not renew their deal after twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four. In terms of the other massive, massive, big name,
Speaker 2: top tier sponsors you have of Delta and Comcast for
Speaker 2: LA twenty eight, the CEO of US Olympic and Paralympic Properties,
Speaker 2: John Slusher, says the new deal brings the operation in
Speaker 2: more than a billion and a half in sponsorship sales.
Speaker 2: The ultimate goal would be two and a half billion.
Speaker 2: The money in the Olympics continues to be an issue
Speaker 2: as well for LA workers. Hotel and airport workers are
Speaker 2: rallying at LA City Hall today to announce a campaign
Speaker 2: to defend the recently approved minimum wage increase. Members of
Speaker 2: the Tourism Workers Rising Coalition, lobbied for this thirty dollars
Speaker 2: minimum wage, will host a news conference alongside City Council
Speaker 2: members as well as Von Wheeler, the president of the
Speaker 2: La County Federation of Labor. These are room attendants and
Speaker 2: cooks and dishwashers, airline catering, airport workers that will eventually
Speaker 2: get about thirty bucks an hour by July twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 2: just in time for the twenty eight Olympics. The companies
Speaker 2: that would have to be paying those have come together
Speaker 2: and they have decided that they want to put this
Speaker 2: thing on the ballot, and that group has until June
Speaker 2: thirtieth to get ninety three thousand signatures from registered voters
Speaker 2: in LA to qualify for the June twenty sixth ballot
Speaker 2: to try to put the clamp down on all of this.
Speaker 2: Officials at the US Embassy and consulates in Mexico have
Speaker 2: confirmed several reports of Americans being kidnapped by people they
Speaker 2: met on a dating app. This was a security alert
Speaker 2: that came out just yesterday. Authorities at the consulate in
Speaker 2: Guadalajara issued a warning about all the incidents, all of
Speaker 2: them occurring in recent months in the areas of Portavarda
Speaker 2: and Nuevo Nare Nayarit. They said, victims in their families
Speaker 2: in the US have at times been extorted for large
Speaker 2: sums of money to secure their release. Please be aware
Speaker 2: that this type of violence is not limited to one
Speaker 2: geographic area. Travelers should use caution. They didn't name any
Speaker 2: of the specific dating apps, but they said this be
Speaker 2: cautious if using dating apps in Mexico. Yeah, need only
Speaker 2: in public places, avoid isolated locations, tell family and friends
Speaker 2: where you're going, and if something doesn't feel right.
Speaker 3: Trust your gut.
Speaker 2: Great news for fans of the Wayfarer's Chapel, that historic
Speaker 2: glass structure in Rancho Palace Verdes. They say it may
Speaker 2: have found a new home about a mile west of
Speaker 2: its original site. RPV has been falling into the ocean basically,
Speaker 2: and this has compromised where Wayfarer's Chapel is, So they're
Speaker 2: saying the potential new location is that the old Battery
Speaker 2: Barnes Military site, which would be right next to OURBV.
Speaker 3: City Hall.
Speaker 2: Chapel had to close February of last year because the
Speaker 2: land underneath it was shifting, so it was taken apart
Speaker 2: and basically put into storage in twenty twenty four. Now
Speaker 2: they're saying that they'll be able to put it back
Speaker 2: up hopefully again at the old Battery Barnes military site
Speaker 2: next to the City Hall.
Speaker 3: I mentioned snackraps. Snack wraps are coming back.
Speaker 2: It looks like on July tenth, that is the expectation
Speaker 2: for you to put the snack wraps back into your
Speaker 2: face hole. And if you're wondering whatever happened to all
Speaker 2: of it, they said that they couldn't they couldn't make
Speaker 2: them efficiently in the McDonald's kitchen, but now they can,
Speaker 2: I suppose, and if you're into the fast food world,
Speaker 2: well how about this. We've seen McDonald's and Taco Bell
Speaker 2: and Burger Kings operate inside of stores and now Wienerschnitzel.
Speaker 2: Walmart is turning to smaller chains to move into open
Speaker 2: spaces at the front of their stores, including a newly
Speaker 2: announced partnership with the iconic hot Dog franchise. They'll be
Speaker 2: opening restaurants in six Walmart locations this year Bakersfield, Tempe, Colorado, Springs, Alamgordo, Reno,
Speaker 2: and Puallup, Washington. All of those Walmarts are going to
Speaker 2: be getting their new Wiener Schnitzels at some point. Looking
Speaker 2: to expand, they said their non traditional venues, with the
Speaker 2: company actively pursuing sites like airports, military bases, theme parks,
Speaker 2: food courts, and convenience stores. The Wiener Schnitzel people say
Speaker 2: that allows them to modernize their footprint, being bring their
Speaker 2: iconic flavors to new audiences, and reinforce the brand's relevance
Speaker 2: in today's evolving retail and dining landscape. There are right now,
Speaker 2: as of right now, more than three hundred Wiener Schnitzel
Speaker 2: locations across thirteen states, most of them here in the West.
Speaker 2: There are a couple in Louisiana and Illinois as well.
Speaker 2: All Right, the question do you prefer movies in a
Speaker 2: movie theater or movies in the comfort of your own
Speaker 2: home theater versus couch.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: We'll do true crime Tuesday. Coming up at the bottom
Speaker 2: of the hour. Was one of them was the Mushroom murders.
Speaker 2: We've talked about it before, but a revisit of what
Speaker 2: it is that this woman did and everybody has ideas
Speaker 2: on what's going on for the mushroom murder trial and
Speaker 2: then a cold case out of Northern California. It took
Speaker 2: forty seven years, but it was a student who came
Speaker 2: forward with some information that explained that opened the door
Speaker 2: for the murderer of a teacher from up there in
Speaker 2: Northern California. We spoke earlier today about the difference between
Speaker 2: streaming services and theater openings when it comes to production
Speaker 2: companies deciding which vein to go down, which way to
Speaker 2: release a movie and how that can impact the bottom line. Originally,
Speaker 2: originally Leelo and Stitch was going to be a Disney
Speaker 2: Plus only release, the remake that is, and they decided
Speaker 2: obviously clearly the better bet to do it in theaters,
Speaker 2: and they're probably well on their way to about a
Speaker 2: million dollars. But I wanted to ask, what is better?
Speaker 2: Is it movie theaters? Is it streaming sitting in the
Speaker 2: comfort of your own home.
Speaker 5: Hi, Gary, It's Frank and San Bernardino. My wife and
Speaker 5: I always go to the Blockbusters at the theater. We
Speaker 5: go to Ontario Mills just saw Mission Impossible. Any other
Speaker 5: ones with the big stars in the in the big movies.
Speaker 5: If we don't, if we watch on streaming, it's usually
Speaker 5: because we didn't get to the theater for some reason.
Speaker 5: But no comparison. Have a great one.
Speaker 3: Thank you you too.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The the benefit obviously of one of the theater movies
Speaker 2: is the gigantic screen fills up your peripheral vision. Depending
Speaker 2: on where you said, the sound systems are incredible, although
Speaker 2: the technology for sound systems in home theater have definitely
Speaker 2: increased in the last couple of years.
Speaker 7: A very great.
Speaker 8: Question toil back and forth between the movies then sitting
Speaker 8: in my living room with the sixty five inch high
Speaker 8: definition TV in a solo surrounds system. I don't think
Speaker 8: that can be be so I vote for staying at home.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry. I have memories of being a kid and
Speaker 8: going to the movies for a quarter. Believe it or not,
Speaker 8: post days are over.
Speaker 2: On and I never went when it was a quarter,
Speaker 2: but I did have a couple of days where it
Speaker 2: was like a four dollars movie ticket that was the cheapest.
Speaker 7: Hey, Yary, you.
Speaker 6: Want to chime in on your movie theater question. If
Speaker 6: it is a movie that I think my kids would
Speaker 6: like and I would enjoy it too, I definitely like
Speaker 6: to take them to the movie theater for that type
Speaker 6: of thing. But if it's a movie just for me
Speaker 6: or my husband, I could care less. And we just
Speaker 6: watched that at home, not even paying to streatment. Wait
Speaker 6: till it's free, missus.
Speaker 9: Shannon, Thank you the best movie that I've ever seen.
Speaker 9: Would I want to watch it at home or in
Speaker 9: a theater? Yeah, definitely in a theater. I love going
Speaker 9: to the theater. I'm glad it's back.
Speaker 10: I do it a lot.
Speaker 9: It's kind of expensive, but I love it. It's my
Speaker 9: introverted times, definitely in the theater.
Speaker 2: The last movie I saw, I should say, the last
Speaker 2: movie that I had to get up early or stay
Speaker 2: up late to see was one of the Star Wars movies,
Speaker 2: and my son and I got up I believed four
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning. It opened at midnight Thursday night,
Speaker 2: Friday morning, and then we saw one of the second
Speaker 2: or third showing or whatever it was. And that was
Speaker 2: eight nine years ago something like that. That was the
Speaker 2: last one that I actually had to set an alarm
Speaker 2: for to go see a movie.
Speaker 11: Hey, gear Bear, robin oc I like to see the
Speaker 11: big premieres is always a fun time. They stopped during
Speaker 11: the midnight release and those were great. We would get
Speaker 11: dressed up, we'd see the movie, we'd be excited about it.
Speaker 3: There was a lot of hype. I take the kids.
Speaker 11: That was the best experience ever.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people agree with that, the
Speaker 2: idea that there's something about the group mentality of seeing
Speaker 2: a movie that you're all very excited about. It may
Speaker 2: be different than having you and your your wife or
Speaker 2: your kid or whatever sitting next to you and they're
Speaker 2: not that interested in the movie that you wanted to watch.
Speaker 10: Hey, Gary, enjoy you in the show. Listen to movie theaters.
Speaker 10: I'm not. I don't go to them. I'm afraid of
Speaker 10: getting the scavs or what or or bed bugs or
Speaker 10: anything like that. Okay, And it's it's gross to smell
Speaker 10: of popcorn bread.
Speaker 7: Disgust me. What but good air conditioning? All right, that's
Speaker 7: the popcorn bread. Popcorn itself smells great.
Speaker 3: That's uh.
Speaker 2: That's one of the things I got going for there
Speaker 2: at a movie theater that I don't have at the house.
Speaker 3: To go to the movie theater.
Speaker 6: Okay, as long as people stay off their damn cellphones
Speaker 6: going to the movie.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and while you're at it, stay off of
Speaker 2: my lawn too.
Speaker 12: That'd be bad, Hi, Gary and Shannon Without shann in today,
Speaker 12: I think that the theatrical experience is far superior to
Speaker 12: the at home experience, though, to be fair to everyone,
Speaker 12: you can see a movie and eat your favorite snacks
Speaker 12: and candy.
Speaker 10: For free at home.
Speaker 12: But in the theater, you know, especially if you're a
Speaker 12: solo traveler like me, it's really cool to be around
Speaker 12: others watching the same movie as you and hearing those
Speaker 12: you know, reactions and having those conversations.
Speaker 3: After the film. That is also fun.
Speaker 2: If you're able to see a movie in a different location,
Speaker 2: and usually it's not necessarily everybody's big vacation plan is
Speaker 2: to go see a movie. I mean, you're there to
Speaker 2: see I guess you're there to see the location you
Speaker 2: need in the restaurants and visit the things in hike
Speaker 2: the mountains or whatever you're supposed to do. But there
Speaker 2: are still a group of people that will go see
Speaker 2: a movie in Hawaii or in Cabo or something like that.
Speaker 2: And part of it is because you still I would
Speaker 2: say it's at least partially because people want to have
Speaker 2: the familiar, even in those places that are unusual to them.
Speaker 2: That's why people go to You're gonna go to Japan
Speaker 2: and go to a McDonald's. I mean, granted it's slightly different,
Speaker 2: but it's McDonald's. You got a McDonald You've got four
Speaker 2: of them on the way home from work, and you
Speaker 2: go all the way to Japan and eat at McDonald's.
Speaker 2: I have a vacation plan later in the summer, and
Speaker 2: my nephew is very excited about seeing Superman and we're
Speaker 2: gonna be in Hawaii, and he wants to go see
Speaker 2: Superman in Hawaii.
Speaker 3: I would rather sit anywhere on any.
Speaker 2: Of those islands for any length of time than sit
Speaker 2: in a movie theater for a couple of hours. But
Speaker 2: that's his big plan. That's one of the things he
Speaker 2: has carved out, is he wants to go see Superman
Speaker 2: when it opens on July eleventh.
Speaker 3: That is one of those stories.
Speaker 2: By the way, they do expect Superman to come in
Speaker 2: somewhere around seven hundred million dollars to be considered a success.
Speaker 2: Because Superman had a budget of two hundred twenty five
Speaker 2: million dollars. The release date obviously is going to be
Speaker 2: a big deal, and the weekend after the fourth of
Speaker 2: July may be just what it needs to pick up
Speaker 2: that seven hundred million dollars. The last Superman or at
Speaker 2: least The Man of Steel, Superman made about six hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy million worldwide with at the time it wasn't unknown,
Speaker 2: but Henry Cavill wasn't as big a star then as
Speaker 2: he is now. So up next True Crime Tuesdays, we're
Speaker 2: going to start with the Mushroom murders taking Australia by storm.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: There was a there's a story.
Speaker 2: We were talking about the difference between streaming services and
Speaker 2: movie theaters. Which production studios want to release it streaming,
Speaker 2: which ones want to go to the movie theater, And
Speaker 2: there was a somebody just reminded me of something. The
Speaker 2: caught quality on the audio was not great, but they
Speaker 2: said that had been calling sorry that they had called
Speaker 2: in to say that they like going to the movies.
Speaker 2: They used to until there was one movie where somebody
Speaker 2: was eating the popcorn kernels, the unpopped kernels in the
Speaker 2: movie theater and cracking them with their teeth. Now there
Speaker 2: is a movie and I can't remember what it is.
Speaker 2: Joseph Gordon Levitt is in it. I believe, I want
Speaker 2: to say, it's like it would have been right around
Speaker 2: two thousand perhaps, and it was a story about young
Speaker 2: men that had been diagnosed with cancer. A young man
Speaker 2: who'd been diagnosed with cancer and it's the end of
Speaker 2: his life. Basic depressing movie. My wife and I saw
Speaker 2: that movie and the person sitting next to us ate
Speaker 2: a green apple in the movie theater. Full crunch, full slurp,
Speaker 2: full truck. It was awful. It was absolutely awful. So
Speaker 2: that was the worst experience I think we had as
Speaker 2: movie theaters. It's time for True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 3: The story is true.
Speaker 1: True, No, it sounds made up.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Garry and Shannon present True Crime.
Speaker 2: Well, this is this case out of Australia is being
Speaker 2: overshadowed by the court cases that we have going on
Speaker 2: here in America. We've got the Karen Reid case, We've
Speaker 2: got the Harvey Weinstein case, We've got the Sean Diddy
Speaker 2: Combs case. We've got all these cases that are going
Speaker 2: on and sucking a lot of attention away from what's
Speaker 2: going on in Australia. This is a tiny little town,
Speaker 2: a tiny a few hours outside of Melbourne. The small
Speaker 2: town of Morewell is where this trial is taking place.
Speaker 2: But the crime that they're hearing about took place in
Speaker 2: the even smaller town of Leongatha. In July of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three, Aaron Patterson, a fifty year old mom of
Speaker 2: a couple of kids, is face racing three counts of
Speaker 2: murder murder for serving toxic beef Wellington to relatives at
Speaker 2: her house. Now she was a strange from her husband
Speaker 2: Simon at the time and he was invited to the lunch,
Speaker 2: but he didn't show up, so he and Aaron invited
Speaker 2: her in laws, Don and Gail Patterson, Gail's sister, so
Speaker 2: this would have been her aunt and uncle in law,
Speaker 2: Heather Wilkinson, and Ian Wilkinson. Three of those four people
Speaker 2: died as a result of eating that beef. Wellington, Don
Speaker 2: and Gail the mother and father in law, and then
Speaker 2: Gail's sister Heather the aunt in law, all died. Ian
Speaker 2: Ate but survived even though he spent several weeks in
Speaker 2: the hospital. And again the estranged husband, Simon, was supposed
Speaker 2: to be at the lunch, but he backed out. Now
Speaker 2: all of this has to do with poisonous mushrooms. Aaron
Speaker 2: Patterson had said that when COVID hit, she started foraging
Speaker 2: for mushrooms on her own, just kind of a hobby
Speaker 2: during lockdown of March of twenty twenty, and the question was, well,
Speaker 2: who knew you had this hobby, and she said, only
Speaker 2: my kids, which is weird. Now, we've been told for
Speaker 2: a very long time, don't just take mushrooms out of
Speaker 2: the wild and cook them and eat them. They can
Speaker 2: kill you, she says. When she would forage for these mushrooms.
Speaker 2: She would cut a little bit of one, fry it
Speaker 2: up with some butter, and eat it. She said they
Speaker 2: taste good. She said she didn't get sick. She also
Speaker 2: fed some of these foraged mushrooms to her kids. She
Speaker 2: chopped them up very small so they wouldn't pick them
Speaker 2: out of the dishes that she was making, the curries,
Speaker 2: the pastas, and the soups, and developed a taste for
Speaker 2: exotic mushroom varieties. She even joined a mushroom lover's Facebook group.
Speaker 2: She even bought a dehydrator, a food dehydrator to preserve
Speaker 2: these mushrooms.
Speaker 3: And when asked by her own.
Speaker 2: Attorney, did she accept that that beef Wellington she made
Speaker 2: in July of twenty three did include death cap mushrooms,
Speaker 2: She said, yes, yes, she knows she did it, but
Speaker 2: it was entirely an accident, she said, so, she told
Speaker 2: her lawyer most of the mushrooms that she used that
Speaker 2: day in that beef Wellington came from local supermarkets, and
Speaker 2: she agreed she might have put them in the same
Speaker 2: container as some of the wild mushrooms that she had foraged,
Speaker 2: and there were even others that came from an Asian
Speaker 2: food store that she didn't necessarily know the provenance of.
Speaker 3: Oh there's more, she.
Speaker 2: Did say, like I said, she admitted that there were
Speaker 2: death cap mushrooms in there. She said it was completely accidental.
Speaker 2: But she was asked about a series of explative film
Speaker 2: messages that she had sent about those in laws a
Speaker 2: few months before they died. She said it was in
Speaker 2: a Facebook group she described as what she thought was
Speaker 2: a safe venting space for a group of women. And
Speaker 2: she's talking smack about her in laws who then six
Speaker 2: months later end up completely dead. She said she tried
Speaker 2: to have her in laws mediate a dispute with their
Speaker 2: estranged husband, Simon their son about school fields school fees,
Speaker 2: and she was feeling hurt. She said she was frustrated.
Speaker 2: She was a little bit desperate. The couple they separated
Speaker 2: a long time ago, ten years ago. So this is
Speaker 2: eight years later that she invites the in laws and
Speaker 2: the aunt and uncle in law over for this beautiful
Speaker 2: beef Wellington. This is a captivating trial in the country
Speaker 2: of Australia. Everybody everywhere is talking about this. There are
Speaker 2: at least two documentaries that have been produced that delve
Speaker 2: into this. Newspapers there in Australia have devoted entire full
Speaker 2: pages to this trial. Websites have been live blogging everybody's
Speaker 2: testimony and each morning outside the trial for this mushroom murderer,
Speaker 2: Aaron Patterson.
Speaker 3: That's the allegation.
Speaker 2: They are lining up every day to take the public
Speaker 2: seats that they can get. We'll tell you how they
Speaker 2: eventually decide. There's another true crime story. After decades of
Speaker 2: investigating the murder of a teacher, police in San Jose
Speaker 2: have finally confirmed, forty seven years later, who did it.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 12: Well.
Speaker 2: We've seen cold cases before, this is one of the
Speaker 2: oldest ones that we've seen in a long time. After
Speaker 2: decades of suspicion, police up in San Jose have confirmed
Speaker 2: they know the identity of the killer of a high
Speaker 2: school teacher in San Jose. It was June sixteenth, nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy eight, just a day after Brandham High School in
Speaker 2: San Jose recess for the summer. A student found a teacher,
Speaker 2: Diane Peterson, lying on the floor of the hallway near
Speaker 2: her classroom, single stab wound to her chest and the
Speaker 2: Santa Clara County d'a's office said that Peterson was just
Speaker 2: one of a handful of teachers who were on campus
Speaker 2: that day. They were cleaning out their classrooms from the
Speaker 2: summer break for the summer break when she was killed.
Speaker 2: And for years, authorities said they had one person in mind.
Speaker 2: A sixteen year old student at the school was considered
Speaker 2: a person of interest in the case, but they didn't
Speaker 2: get any information. The tips they had didn't lead anywhere,
Speaker 2: so the case remained unsolved for forty seven years. Now,
Speaker 2: the reason this kid, the sixteen year old, became a
Speaker 2: person of interest was he was arrested in an unrelated
Speaker 2: crime and detectives noticed that his booking photo looked a
Speaker 2: lot like the police sketch of the teacher's killer. We
Speaker 2: just don't see police sketches anymore because of the ubiquity
Speaker 2: of surveillance cameras that exist all over the place. But
Speaker 2: the sketch came from a student witness who said that
Speaker 2: they heard the teacher yelling for help and saw the
Speaker 2: killer take off. That same student, however, the one who
Speaker 2: came up with the original image the sketch, later disclaimed
Speaker 2: his statement. Police had also been told by witness that
Speaker 2: they had seen the sixteen year old carrying a knife
Speaker 2: that had the words teacher deer written on the side
Speaker 2: of it. When he was questioned, the sixteen year old
Speaker 2: said he didn't have a knife at all, so they
Speaker 2: were unable to corroborate all of that. Now, prosecutors note
Speaker 2: that the retracted statement by the fellow student, as well
Speaker 2: as another one when she confronted him about drug dealing,
Speaker 2: neither story was corroborated. But they've said now that a
Speaker 2: relative disclosed that Nicki Nickerson his real name was Harry,
Speaker 2: that Nicky had admitted to stabbing the teacher literally minutes
Speaker 2: after it happened. The Santa Clara County DA Jeff Rosen
Speaker 2: said Miss Peterson would have been a senior citizen today
Speaker 2: if she had not crossed paths with his violent teenager.
Speaker 2: So finally officially solved. John Cobelt Show is coming up next.
Speaker 2: We'll see you tomorrow. Stay dry. Everybody you've been listening
Speaker 2: to The Gary and Shannon Show, you can always hear
Speaker 2: us live on KFI AM six forty nine am to
Speaker 2: one pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app.
