Speaker 1: Happy hump Day and welcome in. It is Kentucky Anda's
Speaker 1: Morning News on news Radio eight forty. Whas Coffee and
Speaker 1: Company with you. I'm Nick Coffee. Appreciate you hanging out
Speaker 1: with us. So the latest on the shooter in Manhattan
Speaker 1: on Monday that was there to seemingly, I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess we'll never know the extent of what this individual
Speaker 1: was wanting to do. However, we do know that there
Speaker 1: was another note found on this not on this individual.
Speaker 1: The note they found on him was the note that
Speaker 1: he referenced that he had CTE and was coming for
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm paraphrasing to an extent, but anyways, the
Speaker 1: note that they found at as Las Vegas home did
Speaker 1: it wasn't anything about the situation that he clearly set
Speaker 1: out to do what he did, but it was just,
Speaker 1: I guess, an apology letter to his parents. But the
Speaker 1: NFL has confirmed that one of their employees was shot
Speaker 1: and is still recovering. And I don't really know what
Speaker 1: to expect as far as what else we find out
Speaker 1: about this individual. But one thing that's just crazy to
Speaker 1: think about is that he ended up on the wrong elevator,
Speaker 1: so he was there to find I guess the NFL office,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe his plan was to just
Speaker 1: kill as many people as possible. We'll never know, because
Speaker 1: again he ended up killing himself. However, just to know
Speaker 1: that he ended up getting on the wrong elevator and
Speaker 1: that led to him I guess, ending up in an
Speaker 1: area where he wasn't wanting to be, but that didn't
Speaker 1: keep him from shooting other people. Because one of the
Speaker 1: CEOs of another company was one of those that was killed,
Speaker 1: along with a police officer. So Shane Tomora is the
Speaker 1: name of this individual, and I'm sure we'll find out
Speaker 1: more about this person's life because that's typically what happens
Speaker 1: after these things happened. But yes, the NFL employees were
Speaker 1: told to shelter in place Monday when the shooting was
Speaker 1: taking place, and the visual of just what that office
Speaker 1: looked like. They were barricading their I guess the entrance
Speaker 1: to their office with furniture, and it's just I mean,
Speaker 1: I I can't imagine that fear in that situation where
Speaker 1: you do probably have. I mean, again, it's tough to
Speaker 1: know exactly what they knew was going on at the time,
Speaker 1: but even if you have the fear, but you don't
Speaker 1: truly know that somebody is there to take out as
Speaker 1: you know, to take out a mass shooting like like
Speaker 1: we have happened way too often, I mean, anytime is
Speaker 1: a tragic situation. But obviously it's become not as shocking
Speaker 1: when these stories end up in the news because it
Speaker 1: just happens enough to where it's not that surprising. That's
Speaker 1: just the human element of things, to where when something
Speaker 1: does the fact occur a certain amount of times, the
Speaker 1: level of surprise when it occurs is no longer really there.
Speaker 1: But trying to just know, Okay, I know what this
Speaker 1: person's here to do.
Speaker 2: They're here just.
Speaker 1: Mowing people down, trying to kill as many people as possible.
Speaker 1: I just can't imagine the fear that you would have
Speaker 1: and what would go through your mind in that in
Speaker 1: that situation, because again I think this is probably something
Speaker 1: that most are aware of, but if not, you should
Speaker 1: be aware at least I think you should just try
Speaker 1: to be aware of of those that survive this and
Speaker 1: don't die or even get any any any there's no
Speaker 1: harm physically, they still are victims of an insane level
Speaker 1: of trauma that may stick with them for the rest
Speaker 1: of their lives, and the balancing act of wow, like
Speaker 1: I'm so lucky, I'm so fortunate, thank you God for
Speaker 1: letting me survive in a situation where others didn't survive
Speaker 1: and I could have easily been dead. That balancing act.
Speaker 2: Of just the the appreciation and just.
Speaker 1: Being thankful to be alive, but then also realizing you know,
Speaker 1: you were you were tryingized And that's a real emotion
Speaker 1: that can can stick with people. And I just hate
Speaker 1: now that because it's happened so often in this country,
Speaker 1: that there may be something that is that is not
Speaker 1: a real threat. I mean, go, let's go back to
Speaker 1: the situation at the Exposition Center a couple weeks ago
Speaker 1: when that we had the scare of a of an
Speaker 1: active aggressor on site at that at that girls basketball tournament.
Speaker 1: I don't really know who did anything wrong. I mean,
Speaker 1: LMPD responded the way that they should, and it just
Speaker 1: I think was a reminder that people are that the
Speaker 1: awareness is that heightened of these things happening and it
Speaker 1: all ended up being nothing. But I would not be
Speaker 1: shocked if there's many of those that were there that
Speaker 1: were that were fearful for that moment however long it
Speaker 1: actually was where they believed there was somebody there potentially
Speaker 1: with a gun to commit a mass shooting. I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody got hurt at the end of the day, as
Speaker 1: far as any physical harm. Nobody was there with a gun.
Speaker 1: It was all really for nothing. And I think really
Speaker 1: just a bad timing, bad luck situation overall. But there
Speaker 1: may still be people that sort of live with the
Speaker 1: trauma that comes with being in that moment where you
Speaker 1: are in fear of your life and and and those
Speaker 1: that are with you. I mean, it's just there are
Speaker 1: lingering effects to this, this current situation that we have
Speaker 1: here in America where mass shootings are are clearly happening,
Speaker 1: seemingly at a higher rate than ever. And I don't
Speaker 1: know the numbers, if they back that up or not,
Speaker 1: but even when they don't have them, because we know
Speaker 1: that they do occur, I just think there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some lingering effects for people that you may not realize
Speaker 1: unless you are one of those people. So yeah, just
Speaker 1: an awful situation there in New York. And again, just
Speaker 1: to give you an example of how how often it
Speaker 1: does happen, there were two on the same day, and
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's some kind of a record
Speaker 1: as far as those to those two situations playing out
Speaker 1: the way they did. But be a shocker to me
Speaker 1: if that is a record. But it didn't necessarily become
Speaker 1: a talking point because maybe you're knowing, you're maybe maybe
Speaker 1: maybe that's the surprise. Oh wow, we've never had two
Speaker 1: happen in a day. Huh sad? All right, we've got
Speaker 1: another update of travling the weather coming your way. Matt
Speaker 1: Melosovitch will tell us just how hot it's gonna be today.
Speaker 1: Gonna be brutal not to uh to step in front
Speaker 1: of Matt there, but it's going to be hot, and
Speaker 1: he'll give us the latest on that. Bobby Ellis will
Speaker 1: tell us how the roadways are looking. Here as we
Speaker 1: get a Wednesday started, it's Kentucky and his Morning News,
Speaker 1: Coffee and Company here on News Radio eight forty whas So,
Speaker 1: it looks like LMPD is having to to once again
Speaker 1: warn parents about the another challenge that kids may do
Speaker 1: that could end up costing them their lives. We actually
Speaker 1: had this conversation a few weeks ago. I believe just
Speaker 1: over the years, things that kids decide to make a
Speaker 1: thing and I guess challenge other kids to see if
Speaker 1: they have the stones to do it, and it's it's
Speaker 1: it's stupid on.
Speaker 2: A variety of levels.
Speaker 1: I mean the tide pod challenge that one, of course
Speaker 1: got a lot of attention, you had, the it was
Speaker 1: some other ones, I mean they're so stupid. I mean
Speaker 1: one was to go missing for two days to where
Speaker 1: you'd end up on the news. And I'm just like,
Speaker 1: if my kid ever got involved in a challenge to to,
Speaker 1: you know, have some fun with their friends, and that
Speaker 1: challenged included just ghosting their parents and making them think
Speaker 1: they were potentially dead or abducted just to get a
Speaker 1: laugh with their buddies. I'm not sure there's a worse
Speaker 1: thing my kid could do to me.
Speaker 3: But I remember the chicken challenge.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's another one. Yeah, there were a lot
Speaker 1: of stupid ones over the years. But LMPD has warned
Speaker 1: louisvillions of a door kick challenge. So this is a
Speaker 1: dangerous social media trend that I guess has now made
Speaker 1: its way into Louisville. And again it's called the door
Speaker 1: kick challenge, and it's it's it's stupid, but it involves
Speaker 1: teens violently kicking indoors late at night, filming it in,
Speaker 1: running off sometimes to post online.
Speaker 2: What they would get out of that?
Speaker 1: I have no clue, but the incidents here have not
Speaker 1: only been reported in Louisville, but other states, with the
Speaker 1: rests already being made in some instances. And I mean
Speaker 1: there's homeowners in Louisville that have talked to the local
Speaker 1: media about this happening. And you know, I I mean,
Speaker 1: if you have somebody ready and they've got a gun,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't you never know, but like that's
Speaker 1: such a I mean, I can't even speak right now
Speaker 1: because I can't comprehend how stupid this is. And I
Speaker 1: just don't know how anybody would get, Like what do
Speaker 1: you get out of this other than potentially getting in
Speaker 1: trouble or maybe getting shot. I mean, it's just it's insane.
Speaker 1: This is a quote from l ANDPD spokesman John Bradley quote. Anybody,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, anyone participating in this type of behavior is
Speaker 1: certainly risking their own life. A resident could easily and
Speaker 1: reasonably assume resorting to deadly force against the person is
Speaker 1: the next appropriate course of action to protect themselves. This
Speaker 1: type of behavior is stupid, and dangerous, very very well
Speaker 1: said stupid, dangerous. Those are maybe the two best words
Speaker 1: to use here for lack of other words that we're
Speaker 1: not allowed to say on the radio. But yeah, just
Speaker 1: I mean really really dumb. And I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of other challenges that we're out there, and you mentioned
Speaker 1: that the Nike Will, I mean, what was it they
Speaker 1: would put Nike Will and I.
Speaker 2: Had it pull up a second ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I've got more here. So there was the
Speaker 1: Benadryal challenge, where you take large doses of benagdryl to hallucinate.
Speaker 1: There was the Cinnamon Challenge, Todpod challenge. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: these are a lot of these are are are are stupid?
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was the forty eight hour challenge that
Speaker 1: took place in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, where kids would
Speaker 1: would disappear for forty eight hours, not telling anybody, and
Speaker 1: the way to successfully complete the challenge was be missing
Speaker 1: long enough to where you being missing would end up
Speaker 1: on your local news channel. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'd ever forgive my kid if they did that
Speaker 1: for me. That wouldn't be one where I would like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, kids, kids these days they just they do young,
Speaker 1: they're young and dumb. I mean that would be that
Speaker 1: would be something that I would just I don't know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Again, all this is stupid, but just
Speaker 1: be aware there may be somebody coming to your door
Speaker 1: to try to kick it and break your door down
Speaker 1: only to run off. Really stupid. All right, we've got
Speaker 1: another update of trafficking weather coming your way. Bobby Ellis
Speaker 1: will tell us how the roadways are looking here on
Speaker 1: a Wednesday morning. Also, we'll get the latest fro Matt
Speaker 1: Melosavich on the forecast, and Scott Fitzgeral's back with another
Speaker 1: sports update coming up right here, right now on News
Speaker 1: Radio eight forty e WHS. Thank you very much, John Shannon.
Speaker 1: When we were getting closer to that guilty verdict that
Speaker 1: came in for Brooks Howse and the death of his
Speaker 1: former girlfriend Crystal Rogers, I remember think thinking of other
Speaker 1: stories cases I guess is the better way to describe
Speaker 1: it here in the area Kentuckyana that didn't just generate
Speaker 1: a lot of interest locally, but they became national stories
Speaker 1: to an extent, And there were a few that came
Speaker 1: to mind. But one that I forgot about was was
Speaker 1: David Cam who twenty five years ago found his wife
Speaker 1: and two young children dead when he arrived home one
Speaker 1: evening after playing a pick up basketball game and was
Speaker 1: then convicted twice, only to then be exonerated. And he's
Speaker 1: been a free man for a while now, but lost
Speaker 1: thirteen years of his life for something he didn't do.
Speaker 1: And this is maybe the best comparison, but what really
Speaker 1: just makes this one, I think interesting to really anybody
Speaker 1: who's interested in true crime, regardless of where you are,
Speaker 1: even if you're not somebody that's local and remembers this
Speaker 1: being such a big story back in the day. I
Speaker 1: mean the fact that he was convicted twice with really
Speaker 1: no no evidence. I mean, there was really nothing seemingly
Speaker 1: that was proof that he did it, and yet he
Speaker 1: was convicted twice. So yesterday David Cam was on with
Speaker 1: Terry Miners and a really good Q and A if
Speaker 1: you guys didn't hear it, he talked about the night
Speaker 1: of the crime and recalling that moment when he found
Speaker 1: his wife and kids dead in their garage, as you
Speaker 1: could expect, trauma that's going to stick with you forever.
Speaker 1: And then the wrongful convictions, I mean, despite having eleven
Speaker 1: alibi witnesses. He was twice convicted based on what was
Speaker 1: I think clearly manufactured evidence and just flawed work by
Speaker 1: detectives and just the crime scene in general. I mean,
Speaker 1: the investigation was I mean, I'm trying to think of
Speaker 1: a better word, to a better way to describe it,
Speaker 1: because it's far from just being a bad investigation. It
Speaker 1: was terrible. So I mean, this is somebody who again
Speaker 1: was put in prison for thirteen years, convicted twice, once
Speaker 1: in twenty or two thousand and two and then again
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six, and both times the prosecution
Speaker 1: they relied on shaky blood spatter analysis, and they shifted
Speaker 1: theories throughout the you know, throughout the entire situation, like
Speaker 1: each trial. It's it's like they had a different theory
Speaker 1: as to why he would do this, what his motive
Speaker 1: could be, including infidelity. They even brought up child molestation
Speaker 1: despite you know, contradictory forensic evidence that was there, and
Speaker 1: it's just it's, I mean, I'm I'd forgotten all about
Speaker 1: this specific story in this case, and it's one that
Speaker 1: after hearing that David cam was going to be on
Speaker 1: with Terry, I was reminded of it because I was
Speaker 1: young when when that, when that happened, and when that
Speaker 1: became such a continuous story that was in the news,
Speaker 1: and I was not looking for that, right, I wasn't
Speaker 1: seeking out anything like that when I was t well
Speaker 1: thirteen years old. But it was such a big story
Speaker 1: that it would be hard for anybody, child or adult
Speaker 1: to not at least know of it. I didn't know
Speaker 1: any of the details though, But now that I've become
Speaker 1: such a true crime nerd myself the last couple of days,
Speaker 1: I've just been reading everything I can about the whole thing,
Speaker 1: and then hearing him yesterday. It's just a I feel
Speaker 1: like if this were to play out in the modern era,
Speaker 1: in today's world, with true crime being the most popular
Speaker 1: genre of content out there in the endless docuseries and
Speaker 1: shows that we have on the endless amount of streaming
Speaker 1: platforms that are available to us, this would be one
Speaker 1: that I think would be a national hit like no other.
Speaker 1: I'm talking making a murderer Stephen Avery kind of thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at some of the others. You've
Speaker 1: got the staircase, which that was Michael Peterson who was
Speaker 1: convicted of murdering his wife Casey Anthony that was a
Speaker 1: big one. That of course was also some years back.
Speaker 1: But the Peacock Special, that is a good I mean,
Speaker 1: it makes you to me, you know, I can only
Speaker 1: speak for myself. I watched that and to me it
Speaker 1: was quite clear she absolutely had something to do with
Speaker 1: the death of her two year old daughter, but of
Speaker 1: course she was acquitted. So if you ever checked out
Speaker 1: the interview with Terry and David cam I recommend that
Speaker 1: you do, and it'll I mean.
Speaker 2: My.
Speaker 1: I guess big takeaway among many takeaways is just I
Speaker 1: cannot imagine going I.
Speaker 2: Would live every day of those or actually I'd probably
Speaker 2: live every day moving forward in the last twenty five
Speaker 2: years since this happened, with moments throughout my day of
Speaker 2: me thinking, well, there's no way this is real. There's
Speaker 2: no way this is this, this really happened, because this
Speaker 2: can't be real because of just the nature of what
Speaker 2: we're talking about. But here is him just talking about
Speaker 2: his new reality, and I don't think I'd be able
Speaker 2: to have the same perspective on things that he has.
Speaker 3: I truly always believe that there would be a day
Speaker 3: a reckoning, if you will, and that the truth would
Speaker 3: be exposed and that I would not have to spend
Speaker 3: the rest of my life in prison. I always believe that,
Speaker 3: I truly always it's a new reality. But to be
Speaker 3: perfectly honest, I have to say, considering everything that I've
Speaker 3: been through the last five years, I'm blessed. And people
Speaker 3: will find that hard to believe, but to be in
Speaker 3: the situation in which I currently find myself, I truly
Speaker 3: am and I'm blessed.
Speaker 1: So Charles Bonnet is someone who is now in prison
Speaker 1: for this. But it was in two thousand and five
Speaker 1: where DNA on the sweatshirt was finally tested that his
Speaker 1: wife was wearing a believe that led to him being
Speaker 1: in You know, he's a convicted fellow and had a
Speaker 1: history of stalking, violently attacking women. And despite this, prosecutors
Speaker 1: charged both Cam and Bonnet as co conspirators, which to
Speaker 1: me screams just the inability to acknowledge you got it wrong,
Speaker 1: You ruined somebody's life, but you didn't have the the
Speaker 1: you know, you couldn't put your pride aside and acknowledge
Speaker 1: that you now wanted to just not admit fault but
Speaker 1: say yeah, David Cam did it. But also he had
Speaker 1: another guy that helped him. I mean, and by the way,
Speaker 1: David Cam is I'm sorry. Charles Bonet is currently in
Speaker 1: prison serving a two hundred and twenty five year prison
Speaker 1: sentence for killing Kim Cam, his wife, David's wife, and
Speaker 1: of course their two children, Brad and Jill. And this
Speaker 1: is somebody who had a violent record, was on parole.
Speaker 1: And absolutely you got DNA and you got somebody who
Speaker 1: quite literally has a history of being a violent criminal
Speaker 1: attacking women. So I just can't.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine again. I think I would live every
Speaker 1: day for the rest of my life from the day
Speaker 1: that that happened twenty five years ago with moments of yeah,
Speaker 1: this can't be real. Am I going to wake up
Speaker 1: from this? Let's get to a quick update on traffick
Speaker 1: and weather right here on news Radio eight forty WHS,
Speaker 1: Happy hump Day, thanks for hanging with us here at
Speaker 1: Kentucky and his morning news on news Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 1: You are not long. You're not far away, I should say,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, I can't speak English. You're not
Speaker 1: far away from your next update on traffic and whether
Speaker 1: that's coming up here very soon. And one of the
Speaker 1: three celebrity deaths we had last week, and those who
Speaker 1: claimed that deaths come in three, especially those of celebrity status,
Speaker 1: they were right because there were three of them. Malcolm
Speaker 1: Jamal Warner, Malcolm Jamal Warner, who of course played theo
Speaker 1: Huxtable and The Cosby Show. Then it was Ozzy Osbourne
Speaker 1: and then Hulkogan, and then of course we were able
Speaker 1: to go back and look at all the other deaths
Speaker 1: that big name stars either passed within the same few
Speaker 1: days or maybe the same week. But I remember not
Speaker 1: even realizing it, but I went back in my life
Speaker 1: there are three people. Nik there's one instance of three,
Speaker 1: but a couple of instances of two people not celebrities,
Speaker 1: but just people that I know that were in my
Speaker 1: life that passed around the same time. It's kind of
Speaker 1: kind of creepy, to be honest with you. But anyways,
Speaker 1: the reason I bring this up is because Hull Cogan,
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, he had two children that
Speaker 1: were at times well known in the public eye. His
Speaker 1: son was more so known in the public eye. For
Speaker 1: a I believe it was a reckless driving situation that
Speaker 1: ended up I believe taking somebody's life, and that of course,
Speaker 1: became a big Hollywood TMZ type story because Nick Hogan,
Speaker 1: the son of Hull Cogan, a lot of people believe
Speaker 1: was able to, you know, skirt the law because of
Speaker 1: his dad's status. And then of course his daughter, Brooke,
Speaker 1: she was a musician and she I think was the
Speaker 1: big star of that Hogan Knows Best reality show that
Speaker 1: I think v h one put out many years ago,
Speaker 1: and that gave a lot of people, I guess just
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, and it really isn't behind the scenes
Speaker 1: because some of that stuff is doctored a little bit
Speaker 1: as far as just the storylines. But you know, they
Speaker 1: seemed like a pretty likable family in that show, and
Speaker 1: you got to see Hole Cogan in a way that
Speaker 1: you didn't see him because typically you just saw him
Speaker 1: in the ring as a wrestler and whatnot. But anyways, Brooke,
Speaker 1: there was a Brooke Hogan has said that she does
Speaker 1: not want to be in the will. And I don't
Speaker 1: know exactly what hol Cogan's net worth is, but that
Speaker 1: I think really speaks to just the fallout that those
Speaker 1: two had over many things. His comments that he made,
Speaker 1: of course, which a lot of people know, he made
Speaker 1: some comments that were very racist, just to be honest
Speaker 1: with you about who she was dating and whatnot. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, anytime you lose your parent, I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: a sad situation. I'm very fortunate to still have both
Speaker 1: mine and they're healthy and very close to me in
Speaker 1: my life. But I just can't imagine having that happen
Speaker 1: and knowing that you were you were not in a
Speaker 1: good place with your with your mother or father when
Speaker 1: it when it when their life came to an end.
Speaker 1: But yeah, just this sad stuff. All right, Let's get
Speaker 1: to a quick update on traffick and weather and then
Speaker 1: and then we'll get to another sports update here with
Speaker 1: Scott Fitzgerald and who's ready wait forty wh s
