Hello everyone, glad you're here. We need to get right on it and that's what we're going to do over here on my x-file. All right, I have a couple of updates on this Long Island murder-suicide oh my gosh, what a tragedy. From the New York Post. There's a couple of updates different ones, I'm going to see. I don't know how different they are from each other, but we're going to find out.
Speaker 1:
Motive revealed in horror. Oh, by by the way, if you have children listening, this is okay. Probably a little too late. A little too late to warn you. But here we go.
Speaker 1:
Uh, the motive is revealed in the long island murder suicide as cops, id killer, as former emt, joseph deluca jr, who was slaughtered, who slaughtered his relatives after his mother's death. All right, so here's the story. The 95 year old mother of several kids they are now grown, obviously, and they have children of their own, she passed away, 95 years old lived in Long Island in this house for a long time. This grown son of hers lived with her. I don't know if he has some kind of disability, I'm not sure, but he was an emt. So you know, I don't know, uh, but he lived with her and they were the kids were going to sell the house and he had nowhere else to go, so apparently he decided to kill them all and then kill himself. All right, the former emt slaughtered three of his siblings and a niece as they gathered at his deceased mom's Long Island home to discuss plans for her estate, and the killer was upset that he'd have to leave the house after they sold it, authorities said Monday. So my god really. And they have a picture of this guy. Why, why, why. This makes, oh my gosh. This is horrible. I do not understand this.
Speaker 1:
The shooter, a 59-year-old Joseph DeLuca Jr, had spent his entire life in the Sioset home I don't know if I'm pronouncing that correctly owned by his 95-year-old old mother, teresa DeLuca, who died earlier last week in Nassau County. Police captain Stephen Fitzpatrick said at the press conference but if the family sold the Wyoming courthouse, he'd need to find somewhere else to get to live and DeLuca had nowhere else to go. In his rage, deluca leveled a pump-action Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun at his three siblings Joanne Kern, 69, of Tampa, florida, tina Hammond, 64, of East Pechogue, and Frank DeLuca, 63, of Durham, north Carolina and gunned them down in the house's den. Fitch patrick said oh my gosh. He also murdered his niece, who was 30 year old, victoria hammond of east bachogue, before running out the front yard and turning the shotgun barrel on himself. Officers found him with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.
Speaker 1:
Uh, a neighbor called 9-1-1 when they heard deluca screaming in the yard just before he killed himself. We heard high-pitched scream. It was joe screaming. Then one shot. Neighbor, sandy landman, 73, told the post I was shocked. I never would have thought beforehand this would happen. Isn't that what they always say? We heard he was very upset over this. Landsman added, referencing the proposed house sale. He didn't know where to go. He had lived there his whole life. One of the siblings said she would take care of him, that she would let him come and live with her. Apparently he didn't sound too good. That didn't sound too good to him.
Speaker 1:
Fitzpatrick said investigators had been told that DeLuca had passed a mental health problems, but cops have not confirmed that. But neighbors, something saying that betrothed that. But all right, sorry, I'm trying to figure out this word. It's b-u-t-t-r-e-s-s-e-d and is used like this. But neighbors betrothed this. I don't even know what is that saying. The former emt suffered from mental illness that had been exact, exacerbated by his sorrow over his elderly mother on august 9th. If he has mental health problems, why is he an mt? Or maybe he developed mental problems from being an mt, because I'm sure you see a lot of crap or not crap, but awfulness when you're an mt. That's horrible. I don't know. I don't know. Wow. Landsman.
Speaker 1:
The other neighbor added that deluca had was known on the tiny cul-de-sac for letting loose blood curdling. Oh my, oh, oh, okay. Landsman. The other neighbor added that deluca was known on the tiny cul-de-sac for letting loose blood curdling screams. Whenever he got frustrated. There were indicators of his emotional problems, lansman said, and precursors to the banshee whale that DeLuca let loose right after the murders. He didn't say anything, just a high-pitched scream. Lansman said I had heard him scream like that before. Whenever he gets frustrated or really upset, he lets that out. He'd be out working in front of the house on his car or his mother's car and he would be trying to fix something and he'd break something and he'd scream just like that. That neighbor added you never heard anybody scream like that though. Let's see, he spent all of his money on tools and stuff. The captain said the house was pretty much hoarded, packed with tools, stuff involved with auto mechanic. He was living there his entire life, never lived on his own.
Speaker 1:
Fitzpatrick continued, so you could see his mindset, where his world was now changing and he was in a panic. Excuse me, frustrated Facebook posts on lucas page implied he wasn't always thrilled with his customers. Oh, yes, customers, here we again. Another guy who puts it okay, I'm, you know what this? I will finish reading this later. It's long, it's very long. And there's another one I have out here too, but we're gonna skip over that. You pretty much know the gist of the story. Oh, all right.
Speaker 1:
So this other thing, the mystery blonde traveling with secretive telegram ceo, was posting trip on social media before he was arrested and now she's missing. Oh, I was thinking. Oh, maybe it's a spy, but I don't think she is. But dumbass, you shouldn't have been posting all of that. So here's my question If they arrested him because he was not moderating the content on Telegram and there was all kinds of child sex trafficking going on, why don't you go after those people? I'm sure that you can find them. If they're openly doing this on this Telegram app, they're doing it on Facebook too, from what I understand. Why don't you set up a ring and sting and go get them. That's what I don't understand. All right, mystery Blonde, here we go. She was a Mystery Blonde crypto coach who was traveling with Telegram CEO.
Speaker 1:
Pavel Durov cannot be located by her family following the secretive tech billionaire's arrest in France this weekend. Julie Vavalova she's 24 years old, who is also a video game streamer is at the center of online speculation after she shared a series of glam pics while apparently traveling with Durov to Azerbaijan. According to matching social media posts highlighted by French privacy data researchers, baptiste Robert and others you like my little accents there. Others, you like my little my little accents there. Online observers suggest that posts may have given away details about the exiled russian moguls movements prior to his arrest. Of course, he was taken into custody. Yes, we know that it's complicated to say if her post played a direct role in his arrest. I'm sure they did. Uh, so, yeah, you can go finish reading that article. I'm sure there's a lot more to that, excuse me. And there's another post out here about the long island murder suicide. I don't know if it's going to say anything different than the other one. Uh, it's just recognizing who the family was and all that.
Speaker 1:
All right, zuckerberg admits Biden admin pressured Facebook to censor COVID content Says it was wrong to suppress the post-Hunter laptop coverage. Um, election interference much. How about that? Is anybody going to be held accountable for this? Nope, why? Because they're rich, rich, rich. Because it's mark zuckerberg, or you know. Remember. We can't do anything to biden because he's an old, uh, dementia riddled man, but yet he can be president. But he's really not president. Is he right now? Where is he? He's on the beach. Meta ceo mark zuckerberg admitted monday that the biden administration pressured facebook to censor covid 19 content acknowledge it was wrong to stifle the post coverage of hunter Biden's infamous laptop.
Speaker 1:
You can, you know, maybe you're going to hear about this today on the news, maybe, maybe not, I don't know. Let's see. Look who went and was with the 13 family, the 13 service members who were killed during our withdrawal of Afghanistan, who went to the cemetery yesterday to lay a wreath, to do a wreath, a wreath laying ceremony with the families at Arlington National Cemetery For hours. This man was with the families. He didn't just drop by, say hi and leave. He apparently was there for hours. Donald J Trump, that's who went to see the families, not Kamala Harris, not Joe Biden, all right, so what else do I have going on here? I guess I need to do.
Speaker 1:
Oh, I have an update on wendy williams. You know how much I love wendy williams. Y'all I love wendy williams. She was seen in a store holistic store in new jersey, up and being upbeat, upbeat. Wendy williams spotted for the first time in more than a year at the New Jersey Holistic Store.

An employee at Bollingo Balance in Newark exclusively told Page Six that former Wendy Williams show star visited the shop, which is run by the, the late dr sabby's son, victor bowman, about a three week ago, about a week ago, with her son kevin hunter jr. We are told williams was sharp, upbeat and aware and very bubbly and they have a picture of her with this guy and she does. She looks clean and sober and healthy. She looks good.

Good for her, praying for her, because you know I love her, I probably, you know, whatever I think. That's all I've got.
Speaker 1:
