>> Joe: Welcome back to SF I’m Joe Bereta >> Reina: And I’m Reina Scully.
>> Joe: Ah, Las Vegas. The ultimate tourist hot spot for friends and family.
>> Reina: Except not at all because they have heathens running around giving sexy massages
who then *** your $35,000 Rolex and hides it in their ***. See what I did there?
>> Joe: Gross. >> Reina: You call it gross; I call it poetic
and cunning. >> Joe: Perturbed? Grossed out? Yeah, that’s
because you’re a decent human being. >> Reina: The story goes like this, Kenneth
Herold a lonely and apparently mildly rich older dude finds a “masseuse” by the name
of Christina Lafave who offers him a private session for $300.
>> Joe: He goes, “what a great deal! Cause I’m 66 and this is the only way Imma get
with a 25 year old” and proceeds into the hotel room. Lafave then asks Herold to take
off his Rolex so she can massage his arms. Low and behold a few minutes later Herold
loses site of his Rolex and starts to accuse Lafave.
>> Reina: Lafave of course denies taking the watch and gets a little combative when the
hotel security arrives. Which, if she didn’t steal the watch, is understandable.
>> Joe: The police finally arrived and searched the hotel room and they found no sign of the
watch. >> Reina: Lafave also waived her right to
an attorney after being read her Miranda rights, and continued to deny that she stole the watch
then all of the sudden BOOM. She admits to hiding the Rolex in her squish mitten. (Deep
Socket? Fiddle Cove? Love hole, southern hot pot?)
>> Joe: That’s right, she admitted to it, and yet her defense lawyer is ludicrous enough
to try to spin the story to make her the victim because of medical intrusion, even though
they approved a warrant to medically search her.
>> Reina: But wait, it gets better, the defense lawyer is also attempting to fight this further
by arguing that the Rolex was a gift from Herold and she’s the victim because he’s
an Indian Giver. There’s some sort of Indian-reservation-Casino-Vegas joke in there but I just can’t quite get
to it. >> Joe: My initial question was- What exactly
led to Lafave suddenly confessing? I imagine her internal monologue went like this.
>> Reina: “I’m gonna get away with it! This is going swimmingly. Except OUCH. Like
really ouch. It has knobs and stuff. Oh, no. What if I can’t get it out? Maybe I’ll
be able to get it out. Nope. Guess I have to confess.” (fear)
>> Joe: Lafave is currently charged with grand larceny and possession of stolen property
and was initially released on a $40,000 bail but she’s due back in court on May 15th
and can face up to 20 years in jail if convicted. >> Reina: So tell us, do you think this defense
attorney even has a case? I mean, come on, the tute confessed! Leave your thoughts in
