WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.280 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:09.119 Finally, we have some arrests. 5 00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:11.919 Three years after a teenager in the Bay Area killed 6 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.880 himself after being sex towarded online. This is four men 7 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.879 in the Ivory Coast. It's an international scheme. It has 8 00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:24.519 become targeting thousands of victims around the globe, particularly teenagers 9 00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.920 who are susceptible to this. You show a little interest 10 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.399 online who you think is a girl sends you or 11 00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:34.719 a boy who sends you a nude photo. They asked 12 00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:36.759 for one of you, you sent one back, and then 13 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:38.240 they say I'm going to send this to all your 14 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:38.920 family and friends. 15 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:40.840 If you don't pay up, you pay up. 16 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.520 They continue to ask for more, you don't have it, 17 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.119 and then you're in this dire place. There was something 18 00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.520 about this article that made me want to revisit the story, 19 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.719 and it's the fact that the mother of the boy 20 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.119 who killed himself really underlines a point that we had 21 00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.000 not made a big deal of, at least I don't 22 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.359 remember us making a big deal out of it. When 23 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.759 you're a teenager, everything's a big deal, and you feel 24 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:05.959 like everything is the end of the world. You get 25 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.680 in trouble at school, you crash your car, you do 26 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.280 the X, Y or Z, you think it's over. It's 27 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.959 the end of the world. You're ruined. Your life is ruined, 28 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:20.680 your relationships are ruined, your parents hate you. Everything feels more, 29 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.599 very much so. And part of that is just science. 30 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.840 Because of what your hormones are doing, you are built 31 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.319 to feel all the things that more intensely at that time. 32 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.519 And the mother in this case is basically trying to 33 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.680 put out a PSA to other teenagers. 34 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:39.120 It's not the end of the world. 35 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.640 If this guy had sent us the pictures you sent him, 36 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.599 she's saying to her dead son, Essentially, we don't care. 37 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.799 That's a blip on the radar of your life. Essentially, 38 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.519 that is nothing. If you are a teenager that gets 39 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:55.959 sextwarted like this and they're threatening to show your parents 40 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.400 what you've sent, let them. 41 00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.840 Your parents love you. Your parents have already. 42 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:01.599 Your parents have seen it. 43 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.840 They have made mistakes themselves, everybody does. It is not 44 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.439 worth ending your life over this. It is something that 45 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.000 you won't remember. Hell, maybe you even will laugh about 46 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.680 it in thirty years with your parents. But I mean 47 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.159 it is not worth it is. Yes, it's embarrassing, it's 48 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.800 awful you have to go through it. 49 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.719 But it'll go away. And it's a great point. Teenagers 50 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.120 feel things more. Everything is outsized in terms of the 51 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:34.439 reality of what's going on. Embarrassment is probably at the 52 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.879 tip top of the list in terms of the things 53 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.919 that are felt so much stronger than they need to 54 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.319 be when you're a teenager, and that would be the 55 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:47.159 ultimate embarrassment perhaps to have that disseminated. Now, this is 56 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.039 why this kid, seventeen year old Ryan Last, a high 57 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.520 school senior from San Jose who was planning on being 58 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.520 an agriculture biotech student. He was a straight a student, 59 00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.000 very trusting person, was planning on going to a way 60 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.879 Washington State University. He had paid one hundred and fifty Okay, 61 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:10.120 so woman claiming to be twenty years old sends some pictures. 62 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.919 It ends up being this guy from the Ivory Coast. 63 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.080 Ryan then sends one hundred and fifty bucks to try 64 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.080 to prevent that his own image of being disseminated, and 65 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:26.599 it crushed him quickly and he ended up committing suicide 66 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:32.120 within hours of that. They found four people on the 67 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:40.719 Ivory Coast and one of them was Alfred Kazi. Now 68 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.960 they haven't said exactly what led them to Alfred Kazi, 69 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:46.560 but at the time of his arrest at the end 70 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.120 of April, he still had the messages that he sent 71 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.800 to Ryan on his phone that demanded payment in exchange 72 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.199 for not disseminating the pictures. There were others several alleged 73 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:05.639 money laundering accomplices including oh Boy Umaru Wadra, Ogo, Musa Deabi, 74 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.919 and Umar Sisai, all on criminal charges relating to this, 75 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.520 relating to this thing because they were the ones. Those 76 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.280 three helped him, helped Alfred apparently launder the money that 77 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.839 was sent from the teenager and many other cases. 78 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.040 This is a growing thread. We're not done with this. 79 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:26.680 The FBI and Homeland Security between two thousand and one 80 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.519 and twenty twenty three received more than thirteen thousand reports 81 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.480 of online financial sextortion of miners. 82 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.759 And those are just the cases that are. 83 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.519 Being reported, primarily boys, by the way, and what did 84 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:41.560 those result in? 85 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.199 At least twenty suicides. 86 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.759 There's a twenty percent increase in reporting of financially motivated 87 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.279 sex stortion incidents involving miners and it's gone up twenty 88 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:59.120 percent year to year last year over the previous two years. 89 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.279 So this is something that's lucrative for the crooks. They're 90 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:07.759 getting the money that they want, and unfortunately, tragically, teenagers 91 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.160 are killing themselves rather than saying you know what. 92 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:12.600 And you listen. 93 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.160 You can't not have that conversation with a kid. We 94 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.319 have to friend who has daughters, and one of the 95 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.600 daughters was asked by a boyfriend, hey send me some 96 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.680 some fun I think he referred to them as bathroom pictures, 97 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.560 because that's what that's what kids are. That's how they 98 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.160 relate to what should be a sexualized picture. Now, no, 99 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.360 but that's in the bathroom. It's also a private place, 100 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.600 right what I mean? But that's not You're not going 101 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.399 to be in your bedroom. Let's just say that's not 102 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.360 the sexiest venue I can think of. 103 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.519 No, you know how I feel about bathroom self. But 104 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.120 they had backgrounds matter. 105 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.639 She was smart enough to bring it up to her parents, 106 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.839 and they were strong enough and a great enough relationship 107 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.279 where they were able to say this guy's dirt. This guy, 108 00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.560 first of all, you may think that he's doing it 109 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.160 because he loves you. He's a teenage boy, And that's 110 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.879 probably not the case, but you just don't want it 111 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:09.560 floating around because guys can't keep that to themselves. He's 112 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.600 going to show his friends. Assume that he's going to 113 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:12.399 show everybody. 114 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.879 If he likes you, he'll do what it takes to 115 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:16.040 see it in real life. 116 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.839 I guess that's sure. That's also a thing. 117 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:26.480 Yeah, don't give away the milk for free cows. 118 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.759 Yeah, I'm going to make sure I tell my daughter, Hey, cow, 119 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.120 that's a good that's a good opening to any conversation. 120 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:35.519 Uh, all right, you. 121 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.759 Come here, move cow. I want to have a conversation 122 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:39.079 with you about your milk. 123 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:44.319 Yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from 124 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:45.959 KFI AM six forty. 125 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:47.279 Well. 126 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.879 Money can buy you class, but it can also buy 127 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.040 your murder. We've learned this time and time again. Riverside 128 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:58.560 County DIA's office is opening up this cold case out 129 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.120 of Palm Springs and Uphill Battle, they say, because they're 130 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.439 fighting against time, and quite some time has gone by 131 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.639 since October twelfth, nineteen seventy eight, that is when the 132 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:15.040 murder in question took place. We're talking about Edward and 133 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:20.319 Sophia Friendly. They had relaxed in their Palm Springs desert 134 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:24.879 dream home and oasis tucked up against the Santa Sinto Mountains. 135 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.160 This was a neighborhood where Liberaci lived Elizabeth Taylor Peter Lawford. 136 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.839 At the time, their housekeeper was there to make dinner. 137 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.240 The dinner was in the oven, where it would stay 138 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.839 because the two were murdered and never got to eat dinner. 139 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:46.399 These two people were San Francisco elites. Sophia Friendly one 140 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.759 of the most striking young socialites in her day. She 141 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:52.360 was seventy one at the time of her murder, still 142 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.040 looking at her best. That evening she had even donned 143 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.240 a gown and heels for dinner. Her husband, Edward, had 144 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.000 poured himself a drink and dinner was in the oven. 145 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.079 But in the morning, a pool maintenance worker would arrive 146 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:08.439 at the residence on Camino del Sore and noticed that 147 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.920 something wasn't right well. He looks through the window he 148 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:15.040 sees Edward had been shot through the head on the couch. 149 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.360 Sofia was later found splayed out on the hallway, shot 150 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:19.240 from behind. 151 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:21.759 No sign of force entry. 152 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.639 Neighbors had not heard any sort of scuffle, had not 153 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:27.079 heard a thing, and you know Edward was pretty deaf 154 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.560 at the time, he wouldn't have heard someone creeping up 155 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.360 behind him, especially with the television that loud. No one 156 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.320 could understand who would want to kill this elderly couple, 157 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.360 But family secrets began to spill out. 158 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.759 Yeah, Edward was her second husband. She had originally married 159 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.200 a guy named Curtis Hutton. They had a couple of kids. 160 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.480 They had a boy and a girl, but that one 161 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:53.279 didn't last. It was nineteen fifty three when Sophia then 162 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:57.279 married ed friendly real estate agent once worked as the 163 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:01.279 manager of a racetrack in sam Bruno. They had five 164 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.000 children together through previous marriages. 165 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.039 Now, remember Sophia is a young socialite, in fact San 166 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:12.919 Francisco Royalty. Her family had a fortune from Pope and Talbot, 167 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.759 which was the lumber company that essentially built San Francisco 168 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.960 during the Gold Rush. Her debutante ball took an entire 169 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.440 floor of the Saint Francis five hundred guests when she 170 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.519 entered society in nineteen twenty three. So, as you can imagine, 171 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.320 Sophia wasn't really your motherly figure, in fact, not at 172 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.879 all extremely selfish, she was said to be. She spent 173 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:38.000 so much money. She never really cared for the children anyway. 174 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.759 In the early seventies, she and the husband, the second husband, 175 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.000 decided to sell their home in Pacific Heights, which is 176 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.879 just about as rich as you can get in San Francisco, 177 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.279 and they used some money to move to Palm Springs. 178 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.240 Now this was all a shock to all the adult children. 179 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.840 You're doing what you're selling the Pacific Height zone, which 180 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.200 is just a mountain of money, I mean some of 181 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.600 the fuld time, old time, old time million dollars. 182 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.320 Some of the adult children apparently were named on the 183 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.720 deed and claimed that well, if you sell it, we 184 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:11.559 are we get some of that money. 185 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.279 Right, So that starts to be a legal battle. 186 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.879 And in fact, two years before this couple is murdered, 187 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.519 they altered their will to disinherit the children who were 188 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.879 fighting with them. I don't know how you can do 189 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.159 that if someone's listening on the listed on the deed, 190 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.159 if the kids are listed on the deed, which seems 191 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.559 odd to me. Are your kids listed on your deed? No, 192 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.279 it's like all in a trust, right, yeah. 193 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:40.720 But anyway, now they they concentrate the adult kids, concentrate 194 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:45.080 on ed friendly and suggest that he was a man 195 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.360 that needed money, and you know she obviously coming from 196 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.919 a family of wealth and notoriety, she had. 197 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.360 It his way. But Edward Hutton is the son. 198 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:56.360 Right right. 199 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:03.279 I'm sorry ed Friendly the husband, despite his Ivy League education, 200 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.200 couldn't hold a job. Twelve different brokerages that he worked 201 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.879 at he fired. Around the time that Edward was disinherited 202 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:12.679 by his mother, his father sent him a letter and 203 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.559 said that you, as my son, love every as much 204 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.960 as but as a man, I cannot say that you 205 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.720 have amounted too much. Thirty eight years old, no steady job, 206 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.559 certainly no future to look forward to. Take a look 207 00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:28.480 at your life. I mean, what an This is an 208 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.720 incredible letter to send to the son. 209 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.799 Yeah, detectives there in Palm Springs certain that they knew 210 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.360 their killer. There were no signs of a break in. 211 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:45.000 There was a guy who they were friendly with who 212 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.240 turned out to be a bit of an international spy, 213 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:54.039 a guy by the name of Christiansen Andreas Christiansen. Several 214 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.639 months before the shooting, this guy apparently came in through Europe. 215 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.480 He was described by one detective as kind of James 216 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:06.080 Bond character, and he had met the son and met 217 00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:11.240 him in London. That is kind of where it's centered 218 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.519 around this guy that leaves no paper trail at all, 219 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:19.440 the international spy guy. In fact, the son's wife at 220 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.159 one point says to detectives, have you ever met anyone 221 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.600 you know for somewhere for some years, but you never 222 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:26.360 know where they're from, where they went to school, where 223 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:27.120 their family is. 224 00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.519 He was like a cipher. He never talked about any 225 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:29.679 of it. 226 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:34.120 Now, to me, in my untrained eyes, it's obvious that 227 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.200 the son who got the letter from his parents saying 228 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.919 we love you, but you never amounted to anything, who 229 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:43.080 was cut out of the will, cut out of the 230 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.840 share of the Pacific Heights home, that he would hire 231 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.639 this guy as a hit man to kill the parents 232 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.600 because he had money coming to them and to him 233 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:52.879 in that. 234 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:55.960 Event, from the original marriage he had from his father 235 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.200 who was the first husband exactly. 236 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.159 I don't know why that that's not obvious. I mean, 237 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.519 just reading through the store, that's obviously what happened. This guy, Christiansen, 238 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.039 had no reason to kill them. He's got no footprints, 239 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.200 he leaves no fingerprints. He's somewhere in Europe. They don't 240 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.440 know if he's dead or alive. That's a classic hit man. 241 00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:16.720 That's like the best type of hit man. You bring 242 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.279 him in from another country, he takes out the hit 243 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:22.399 and you never hear from him again. He meets people. 244 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.399 Nobody knows who that guy is, perfect hit man. So 245 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.639 where is everybody now? Well, the son who I think 246 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.559 ordered the hit is living somewhere in Mexico, because that's 247 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.720 what you do after you hire a hitman to kill 248 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.600 your parents and get the money. And Christensen the hit man, 249 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.799 in my opinion, his whereabouts are unknown. They don't know, 250 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.879 like I said, if he's dead or alive. But yet 251 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:45.879 they've reopened the case in Riverside County. 252 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.120 They did catch up with that guy in like nineteen 253 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.679 eighty one, and he said some things that would have 254 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.399 connected him to the case, Like he was in southern California, 255 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.559 he did go to Palm Springs. He may have had 256 00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.279 a forty five caliber weapon, the same caliber weapon that 257 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.639 was used to kill the couple, and that he took 258 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.559 it apart and threw it down the train toilet like 259 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:05.679 a good hit then but then stop talking. 260 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.440 Yeah, so it is weird, weird mystery. 261 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:10.679 If you need help with any other cold cases, you 262 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.039 call us great here it comes. 263 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.759 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf 264 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:18.960 I A M six forty. 265 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:20.639 Do we have any animal noises? 266 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:21.840 I don't know, Just do Robin. 267 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:23.879 Do we have an animal thing that we have somewhere 268 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.600 on the board that there's something that goes now? 269 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:41.840 Are that is a big I'm gonna never. 270 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:52.960 Makes it so hard to believe.

Residents say the pop sounds 281 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.519 like a bb gun or a firecracker, and it's an 282 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:21.639 exploding bird. 283 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:26.320 That is awful. It is not funny, not funny at all. 284 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:28.279 That's awful. 285 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:34.080 Neighbors have posted signs on poles warning of the danger. Well, 286 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:36.159 the birds can't read the signs. 287 00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.080 No, no, I'm assuming it's for people walking. 288 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:44.399 Here go the people.

Of course, 291 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:53.039 not said. They have shared that the birds show no 292 00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:57.240 evidence of electrocution. Their deaths were caused by trauma, potentially 293 00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.639 from a pellet or a BB gun or a slingshot. 294 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.039 PG and need is not believe there's an issue with 295 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:05.360 the electrical equipment and agrees that the birds were not electrocuted. 296 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.720 I see you're exploding birds, and I raise you tigers. 297 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:12.720 The fate of four Bengal tigers who live near Hemet 298 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:16.639 is up in the air. Apparently the owners of a 299 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:20.000 sanctuary have been evicted, so now we don't know where 300 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:21.159 to put the tigers. 301 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:23.279 Obviously you can't just leave them there. 302 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:23.799 Why not? 303 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.159 Because you can't leave Bengal tigers free in a neighborhood. 304 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.600 They'll tiger, tiger is going to tiger? 305 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:33.480 Oh okay? 306 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.120 Would you like a tiger, a Bengal tiger roaming your 307 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:36.799 cul de sac? 308 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:37.919 No? 309 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.480 But I would stay inside if there was a tiger 310 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:41.279 in my cul de sack. 311 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.519 If somebody held tigers in your neighborhood and was evicted, 312 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.519 would you be down with the tigers just being set free. 313 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:53.360 Probably not, I'm going to say probably not. 314 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:56.000 Well, I mean, there's some wild land that's just a 315 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:58.120 couple of blocks away.

Of course, these things 319 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.680 don't take effect right away. The sanctuary is asking for 320 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.720 an emergency hearing from a judge in order to get 321 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.680 access to the property that they've been locked out of, 322 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:24.359 trying to get the tigers by the end of the 323 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:28.039 week to another sanctuary out of the state.
