Crime Wire Weekly 7/27/26 | Taco Bell Temper Tantrums, “Gooner” Trends & a $600 Million Manhunt

This special Monday episode is packed with some wild crime related stories. Rapper Boosie Badazz finds himself tangled up in a wild Trump pardon scam that’s raising more questions than answers. A Florida woman named Stephanie Perdue is convicted in a truly bizarre murder-for-hire plot that sounds like it was ripped from a bad movie.
Tempers flare hard at Taco Bell when one man’s rage boils over in spectacular fashion, while another woman completely loses it over a long wait time in a separate fast-food meltdown.  Online, the disturbing “Gooner” trend at Dollar Tree is producing some shocking new stats that have parents and shoppers on edge.
In this week’s True Crime Time Machine, we head back to the case that forever changed how America protects its children: the 1981 abduction and murder of Adam Walsh. Elsewhere, quick-thinking kids alert an adult just in time to stop an attempted drowning.  A former prosecutor is accused of repeatedly trying to poison people in a case that proves age is no barrier to alleged crime. Authorities finally catch a man on the most-wanted list after a jaw-dropping $600 million Medicare fraud scheme. And the son of the infamous Long Island Lolita is arrested in Florida, bringing a new chapter to a notorious family story.
