00:00:00.930 --> 00:00:03.390
Why are you laughing? I'm just laughing.
2
00:00:03.470 --> 00:00:03.950
How are you?
3
00:00:04.070 --> 00:00:06.549
I'm doing well. You're laughing. We didn't do anything yet.
4
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:11.679
Right, but just walking in the door, the warm welcome
5
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:12.480
I get as.
6
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:13.279
I enter the studio.
7
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:14.800
You get a warm welcome. It's just amazing.
8
00:00:14.859 --> 00:00:18.010
I know. I just, I love it.
9
00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:20.359
Thank you. Well, glad you're here.
10
00:00:20.890 --> 00:00:21.460
I'm glad to be here.
11
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:22.370
Super glad you're here.
12
00:00:22.969 --> 00:00:27.190
I don't normally turn private conversations public, but we got
13
00:00:27.210 --> 00:00:28.390
to go back to the text messages.
14
00:00:29.660 --> 00:00:33.000
Sent by Don yesterday morning. What did he say? He said,
15
00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:35.079
good morning, Brian. I said, good morning.
16
00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:35.600
Okay.
17
00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:37.780
He said, hope you had a great birthday. I said,
18
00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:38.240
I did.
19
00:00:39.020 --> 00:00:41.500
I hope you did, too, with a winky laugh emoji.
20
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:44.179
He says, I hope you saved us a piece of
21
00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:47.630
that cake. Because I had posted the cake on Facebook.
22
00:00:47.750 --> 00:00:51.590
And who is us? Well, I'm getting there. Don't jump
23
00:00:51.609 --> 00:00:52.070
the script.
24
00:00:52.109 --> 00:00:52.609
Sorry.
25
00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:55.770
I said, I had my one piece and turned it
26
00:00:55.810 --> 00:00:58.840
over to my kids. He said, so I guess Brittany
27
00:00:58.880 --> 00:00:59.619
and I are out.
28
00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:02.780
I see how it is.
29
00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:03.479
Look at this.
30
00:01:03.829 --> 00:01:04.150
Look.
31
00:01:04.409 --> 00:01:04.790
Yes.
32
00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:07.500
Snatched. From my son's plate.
33
00:01:07.930 --> 00:01:09.829
I've been asking him all morning what that is.
34
00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:12.069
Bear in mind, it's just a bite-sized. This was all
35
00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:12.549
that was left.
36
00:01:12.569 --> 00:01:13.030
That's all I need.
37
00:01:13.469 --> 00:01:15.989
Bite-sized piece of cake for you and for Brie Lynn.
38
00:01:16.150 --> 00:01:16.530
Brie Lynn.
39
00:01:16.709 --> 00:01:17.950
There you go.
40
00:01:18.010 --> 00:01:20.489
Look, look, Brian. Three-day-old cake.
41
00:01:21.109 --> 00:01:24.629
He's been talking about this cake out of a Tupperware,
42
00:01:24.650 --> 00:01:25.510
you know.
43
00:01:25.530 --> 00:01:27.609
No, I haven't said what was in a Tupperware. I
44
00:01:27.870 --> 00:01:29.469
haven't said what was in there all morning long.
45
00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:31.859
I just mentioned that the plastics that are in there
46
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:33.219
come from industry in Louisiana.
47
00:01:33.500 --> 00:01:35.959
Well, I thank you for thinking of us.
48
00:01:37.030 --> 00:01:38.829
I wish you a happy birthday. Now, here's the thing.
49
00:01:39.069 --> 00:01:41.209
Her life was just changed, and yours is about to
50
00:01:41.250 --> 00:01:42.090
be as well.
51
00:01:42.129 --> 00:01:43.150
Who made this? My wife.
52
00:01:43.579 --> 00:01:44.640
Oh, this is so good.
53
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.540
No, she is ridiculous with the cake. I know.
54
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:49.540
Well, that's good to know.
55
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.359
So. Foodie Thursday, y'all. All right.
56
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:56.989
That is so awesome.
57
00:01:57.709 --> 00:02:00.189
Snatched from my 11-year-old son's dessert plate.
58
00:02:00.209 --> 00:02:02.109
Well, and he understands.
59
00:02:02.549 --> 00:02:02.849
Does he?
60
00:02:03.069 --> 00:02:03.430
He will.
61
00:02:03.670 --> 00:02:04.150
I hope so.
62
00:02:04.310 --> 00:02:05.969
He will. Mom can make him another cake.
63
00:02:06.489 --> 00:02:07.010
That's true.
64
00:02:07.049 --> 00:02:08.629
Christy can make cakes all day long.
65
00:02:08.650 --> 00:02:09.349
All right.
66
00:02:10.009 --> 00:02:10.729
That's awesome.
67
00:02:10.770 --> 00:02:11.870
Thank you, Brian.
68
00:02:11.889 --> 00:02:14.110
Take a bite. And thank you, Christy. Take a bite.
69
00:02:14.150 --> 00:02:14.789
Thank you, Christy.
70
00:02:14.810 --> 00:02:15.960
Before we catch some bad guys.

00:02:18.110 --> 00:02:19.669

Christy great job see all right.
78
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.210
What's going on the crime stoppers.
79
00:02:37.939 --> 00:02:41.969
World man listen it it never ends and never yeah um.
80
00:02:43.810 --> 00:02:44.550
We'd like it to end.
81
00:02:44.750 --> 00:02:45.389
We would like it to end.
82
00:02:45.430 --> 00:02:47.969
Hey, that's $ 64 million coming to East Baton Rouge. Crime
83
00:02:47.990 --> 00:02:49.409
Stoppers going to get a chunk of that? Man, I
84
00:02:49.430 --> 00:02:50.770
sure hope so. We could use it.
85
00:02:50.770 --> 00:02:51.870
You'd carve out a little bit?
86
00:02:52.030 --> 00:02:52.750
We could sure use it.
87
00:02:52.770 --> 00:02:54.979
So here's my thing, Don, is there's a part of
88
00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:58.340
me that, like, as a Baton Rouge-ian, we need to
89
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.460
keep our eyes on the prize and not get, like,
90
00:03:00.539 --> 00:03:01.680
we don't want to spread it too thin.
91
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:07.219
Right. You know? Hiller needs his. Okay? Chief Morse
Load full transcript
needs his. Okay?
92
00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:10.000
But there's got to be a role where Crime Stoppers
93
00:03:10.030 --> 00:03:11.789
can pull just a, like.
94
00:03:12.250 --> 00:03:14.330
There should be one chunk of the money where you
95
00:03:14.370 --> 00:03:17.430
can spread it thin, and that's where Crime Stoppers needs
96
00:03:17.449 --> 00:03:19.469
to be, to where you're not left out in the
97
00:03:19.530 --> 00:03:23.199
cold because Crime Stoppers nets results.
98
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.819
And that's what we're hoping for. And listen, we're not
99
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.819
trying to be greedy, but like you said, just give
100
00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:31.780
us a little piece. Last year alone— Just like that
101
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.330
piece of cake. Just like the piece of cake. Just like.
102
00:03:35.150 --> 00:03:36.889
Last year alone, we paid out around $ 96, 000 in rewards.
103
00:03:40.250 --> 00:03:47.139
We have initiated the first 48, which any information within
104
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:51.759
the first 48 hours of a homicide occurring, the reward doubles.
105
00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:52.240
Right.
106
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:58.090
So, we want to keep increasing these rewards because we
107
00:03:58.129 --> 00:03:59.789
want people to keep calling. Money talks.
108
00:04:00.169 --> 00:04:00.370
Yes.
109
00:04:00.389 --> 00:04:04.669
Okay, that's what it boils down to. The anonymity part
110
00:04:04.689 --> 00:04:08.960
of it is a big part, but As far as
111
00:04:08.979 --> 00:04:15.229
the money aspect, looking at Crime Stopper programs across the nation,
112
00:04:15.250 --> 00:04:21.389
ours is in the top five, I would say. But
113
00:04:21.430 --> 00:04:28.040
we want to keep it there by increasing rewards over time.
114
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.060
So hopefully, to get back to your point, I hope
115
00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:36.699
a chunk of that, a small chunk, We'll come to
116
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:37.300
Crime Stoppers.
117
00:04:37.540 --> 00:04:40.350
So, and here's my thing, and we'll move on to
118
00:04:40.370 --> 00:04:42.029
catch some bad guys after this, and I don't want
119
00:04:42.069 --> 00:04:44.689
to make this all about trying to wedge into a
120
00:04:44.769 --> 00:04:47.769
discussion that we're not part of, but when it comes
121
00:04:47.850 --> 00:04:51.870
to divvying up, doling out, whatever, when it comes to
122
00:04:51.930 --> 00:04:54.860
divvying up federal dollars, DOJ dollars, you're going to have
123
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.420
to have paperwork behind it.
124
00:04:56.420 --> 00:04:58.139
You're going to have to be able to show ROI.
125
00:04:58.459 --> 00:05:00.160
And this is one thing that Crime Stoppers can do
126
00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:03.120
better than anybody else out there, is show the ROI.
127
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.439
Where's the return on investment?
128
00:05:05.029 --> 00:05:09.029
You mentioned the $ 96, 000 in rewards given out last year.
129
00:05:09.529 --> 00:05:12.610
Every one of those dollars is connected to an arrest.
130
00:05:12.610 --> 00:05:13.350
100%.
131
00:05:13.350 --> 00:05:18.269
So to me, that is definitively, you give me money,
132
00:05:18.370 --> 00:05:19.209
I give you results.
133
00:05:19.949 --> 00:05:24.149
And like you said, that speaks volumes. And then you
134
00:05:24.189 --> 00:05:27.879
have another side of the coin being the Beyond Bars initiative.
135
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:28.339
Yeah.
136
00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:32.160
So you have the Crimestoppers that is solving crime. The
137
00:05:32.180 --> 00:05:37.949
Beyond Bars is more on the preventative side. Um, so it's, we're,
138
00:05:38.029 --> 00:05:41.410
we're covered. And like I said, I hope we, we
139
00:05:41.430 --> 00:05:44.389
get a small chunk of that so we can continue
140
00:05:44.449 --> 00:05:45.670
moving forward as we have been.
141
00:05:47.449 --> 00:05:49.620
Bad guys. Where are we going after today?
142
00:05:49.980 --> 00:05:51.600
Well, first of all, we're going to solve for the
143
00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:55.899
unsolved hit and run fatality, uh, that occurred back in 2018. Um,
144
00:05:57.180 --> 00:06:05.420
Devon Jones was 17 years old at the time. believed
145
00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:08.379
he was leaving a relative's house, trying to cross Florida
146
00:06:08.420 --> 00:06:11.699
Boulevard near the Boncure Business Center when he was struck
147
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.519
by a vehicle. Investigators believe that it was a white van,
148
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.790
possibly damaged to the front of that van at the time.
149
00:06:20.430 --> 00:06:23.949
Of course, eight years later, who knows if that van
150
00:06:23.990 --> 00:06:30.209
is still around. It may have been fixed. But someone knows, Brian.
151
00:06:30.350 --> 00:06:35.730
Someone either has seen has heard about this investigation or
152
00:06:36.610 --> 00:06:41.649
the one that was behind the wheel knows they hit something,
153
00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:47.279
hit someone. So we're trying to get some closure for
154
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:54.170
this family of Devon Jones. So any information, contact Crime Stoppers,
155
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.329
P3 Tips app. Get us that information that may lead
156
00:06:59.629 --> 00:07:02.899
to the individual who, was behind the wheel that evening
157
00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:06.300
that took the life of Devon. He passed away at
158
00:07:06.339 --> 00:07:11.819
a local hospital the next day. And, you know, we
159
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:17.250
just talked about birthdays. We have the holidays coming. And
160
00:07:17.689 --> 00:07:23.850
not only with Devon, but any other unsolved crime that
161
00:07:23.889 --> 00:07:26.850
was a result of a senseless act of violence. Pick
162
00:07:26.870 --> 00:07:28.949
up the phone and let us know. Bring closure to
163
00:07:29.009 --> 00:07:33.860
those families. And I'm sure... You with Christmas around the corner,
164
00:07:34.860 --> 00:07:37.779
there's nothing more than they would want then to get
165
00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:42.060
that phone call from investigators to say, hey, crime stoppers
166
00:07:42.139 --> 00:07:46.670
tip played a vital role in this investigation. And we
167
00:07:46.730 --> 00:07:52.209
have the one or ones responsible for your loved one's death.
168
00:07:52.529 --> 00:07:55.149
It's never a good time to lose a family member
169
00:07:55.269 --> 00:07:57.290
to a hit and run or any any senseless crime.
170
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:02.199
But yeah, this was a November 1st, 2018 was when
171
00:08:02.220 --> 00:08:06.860
it happened. Florida Boulevard. And a very, very quick Google
172
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:11.500
search pulling up an appeal from December 18th over at WAFB.com.
173
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.399
And it reads, it's a very, very tight-knit family who,
174
00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:16.740
