Bath Township police Ohio true crime collide in this explosive breakdown of the 2025 Airbnb party shooting that left 18-year-old Elijah Wells dead and nine others wounded. Public accountability demands answers: how did an illegal short-term rental host over 100 teens, erupt in multi-caliber gunfire, and expose regulatory failure? Former homicide detective Scott Gardner dissects dispatch logs, bodycam chaos, and a three-hour BCI delay that let evidence slip away. 🔍 This gritty investiga...

Mantua, Ohio, police hearing. Public accountability. Superintendent Arianne Curtis’s affidavit and live testimony in the Chief Joseph Urso disciplinary hearing. We examine SRO training rules in Ohio, the nepotism policy claims, and how one vague email became “parents and community” in the official record. 🔎 This episode documents the affidavit language vetting claims for SRO candidates, Crestwood Local Schools' involvement, alarm response issues, and the role of the village solicitor. We sho...

Lynda Bowers said BCI was there “within the first half hour.” She said she was briefed, had access, and knew things even the family didn’t. But the files tell a different story. This episode breaks down every claim, contradiction, and quiet edit in her own words — directly from a three-hour recording that few have ever heard. 🔍 We map how a township trustee became one of the loudest voices in the Bryon Macron narrative — attending briefings, quoting investigators, and repeating claims that do...

The Mantua Village Council turned a simple disciplinary hearing into an overnight political spectacle. For twelve straight hours, residents packed the chambers, shouting down their own leaders as the mayor and council pressed to remove Chief Joe Urso — a man many in town called one of the best chiefs they’ve ever had. ⚖️ By 3 A.M., my DJI Pocket Pro and both phones were dead, the crowd was still loud, and the tension was thick enough to cut. What started as a policy complaint over an alleged...

The Nexus Pipeline story isn’t just about gas — it’s about power, silence, and missing records in Medina County, Ohio. In this episode, The Infamous Ex-Chief exposes how a so-called “Pipeline Task Force” appeared in township minutes, only to disappear from the record when questions started flying. From 2014 to 2017, trustees held meetings, formed committees, and promised transparency — yet a decade later, officials like Lynda Bowers deny that any such task force ever existed. Public records,...

When Lafayette Township trustee Bryon Macron vanished, Medina County’s official investigation stalled — and one civilian stepped in to “help.” What followed was a digital disaster that rewrote parts of the record and still warps the truth today. In this episode, The Infamous Ex-Chief dives into the 2018 BCI interview with Paul Hartman, the self-appointed investigator whose unauthorized access to Bryon’s Google account erased the line between evidence and opinion. He changed passwords, destro...

Ohio true crime. Police corruption. Public accountability.

We disc...

Police corruption, Ohio, and true crime converge in this in-depth examination of hidden cameras inside township buildings, invoices split to evade a public vote, and a vendor who hung up the second Bryon Macron’s name was mentioned. This is not theory; it is the paper trail. Medina County, Lafayette Township, Media 144, and a three-thousand-dollar threshold that kept the public in the dark. 🔎 We track the invoice trail, the trustee memos, and the records that suggest the installs were not au...

Police corruption, Ohio hypocrisy, and public accountability collide in this episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief. Today we dig into the controversy that erupted after Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10, 2025, when a Medina County District Library employee decided to publicly mock his death. This isn’t just about one bad Facebook post — it’s about whether the people we pay to serve communities are living up to their own codes of respect, kindness, and integrity. 📚 We expose how one lib...

Police corruption, Ohio oversight, and a public records promise that never happened — that’s what this episode peels back. We lay out the Macron files, the five boxes the Sheriff’s Office claims “contained nothing new,” and why that claim collapses under the paperwork, DNA notes, surveillance timelines, and sworn interviews that still don’t add up. 🔍 For nearly a decade, Medina County’s explanation has been a patchwork of contradictions. This episode focuses on the discovery of handwritten n...

Sheriff Grice keeps repeating the same tired line: “We’ll reopen if new evidence presents itself.” But what happens when five banker-sized boxes of case files suddenly surface in a public records lawsuit—boxes that were never acknowledged before? This episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief takes you inside the fight for transparency in Medina County, Ohio. We break down the missing handwritten notes, the ignored surveillance footage, the unexplained DNA profiles, and the radio silence that left cr...

Jewelry rumors. False narratives. And investigators who turned gossip into evidence. Welcome to The Jewelry Myth — an episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief that tears apart one of the most damaging smokescreens in the Bryon Macron case. From the beginning, Medina County officials pushed the idea that Macron’s death was tied to money problems. They leaned on whispers of jewelry sales, blown-off customers, and even claims of “knock-off” rings. But when we dig into the files, the receipts, and the a...

This episode is built as a cheat sheet for Tentacle Nation — a way to catch up quickly if you’re new to the Bryon Macron case. We’ve been covering this story piece by piece, but too many viewers have asked the same questions: What really happened? Why so many contradictions? Where was the accountability? Here’s the reality: Medina County sold the public a timeline built on fiction. A township trustee vanishes. Sixty-seven days later, his stabbed body floats in Chippewa Lake. The sheriff’s of...

East Cleveland is at it again. Mayor Lateek Shabazz is appointing a so-called special investigator into the 2021 case of Vincent Belmonte and Sgt. Larry McDonald. But here’s the hard truth: this case was already fully investigated by BCI, handed to a special prosecutor, and reviewed by a Cuyahoga County grand jury — which returned a no bill. Translation: McDonald’s use of force was ruled justified. So why drag this back into the headlines? Politics. Distraction. Another rerun of East Clevela...

When Lafayette Township Trustee Bryon Macron vanished in 2016, the official story was neat and tidy — too tidy. This episode rips into the contradictions surrounding his recovery from Chippewa Lake: missing call logs, conflicting first responder accounts, and a trail of negligence that Medina County can’t explain. 🚨 We’ll walk through taped interviews with detectives, candid witness statements, and records that were either ignored or never made it into the system. From Tracy Eisenberg’s inte...

In this episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief, we pull apart the paper trail Medina County hoped you’d never read too closely. Reports say nothing, witnesses say less, but in the Bryon Macron case, silence screams louder than truth. One firefighter claims he cut something loose. Another denies it, then lawyering up when pressed. Deputies like “Dimmerswitch” Rees pile on assumptions instead of facts, calling witnesses liars without evidence. Meanwhile, reports are sanitized, recovery team members i...

East Cleveland’s police department was once a symbol of pride and discipline — now it’s a political pawn in a backroom power game. On July 30, 2025, Officer Latasha Moore, off duty and out of uniform, stormed into a rookie’s training session, unleashing a nine-minute tirade of racial slurs, homophobic insults, and challenges to fight in the parking lot. This wasn’t her first brush with controversy — she’s resigned three times and still wears the badge. Behind her survival is Eric Brewer — fo...

One retired and one active lawman. One dead trustee. And a re-investigation that feels more like a holiday gift exchange than a search for truth. In this episode, we tear into two fresh interviews conducted by Deputy Nicole Embury—part of what Medina County calls a “follow-up” into the suspicious death of Lafayette Township Trustee Bryon Macron. We’re talking about bizarre jewelry questions, missing emails, and blocked voicemails. You’ll hear audio from retired Sheriff Tom Miller and Officer...

Two names that keep coming up — Lynda Bowers and Michael Costello — both with connections to Lafayette Township, both claiming the Medina County Prosecutor chastised them for cooperating with law enforcement. In this exposé, we don’t just play the tape — we break it down. 🧨 This isn’t cooperation. It’s manipulation, misdirection, and political damage control. We unpack the disturbing claims that witnesses were pressured to stay quiet and that Forrest Thompson, Medina’s own top prosecutor, ma...
