On February 25, 2025, a routine welfare check in Yakima, Washington, led to a horrific discovery. Inside an unlocked apartment, officers found a 7-month-old infant deceased and a 2-year-old toddler severely malnourished. In this episode, we dive into the chilling timeline of 20-year-old Kyleah Rose Tolle, a mother who tried to build an online presence while her children suffered in unimaginable conditions. We unpack the lies told to police, the systemic failures of the Washington DCYF, the prior animal cruelty warning signs that were ignored, and the legislative reforms sparked by this heartbreaking local tragedy.

Veniamin Gaidaichuk drove from Everett to Yakima to meet a 13-year-old, only to find a SWAT team. Now, his case is at the State Supreme Court, and a new bill in Olympia (SB 5312) could set him free of lifetime supervision. D-Lo breaks down the text threads, the "inducement" defense, and why this one case could change Washington law forever.

In this episode, I talk about SB 5312.

In this episode I cover SB 5312 and how it looks to reduce penalties for individuals who are caught in police sting operations involving exploitation of minors because their weren't "real" victims.

The bill is sponsored by four Democratic Senators: Lisa Wellman from Mercer Island, Noel Frame from Seattle, T'wina Nobles from Pierce County, and Claire Wilson from Federal Way. Their argument? They say that because no 'real' child was involved in a Net Nanny sting, lifetime registration is 'excessive.

When 31-year-old Rosenda Strong vanished from the Yakama Reservation in 2018, her sister Cissy refused to accept the "she's just partying" narrative from local authorities. For 275 days, Cissy led a tireless search that culminated in a grisly discovery in an abandoned freezer. In this deep-dive episode, we explore the timeline of Rosenda's disappearance, the "House of Souls" where she took her last breath, and the federal investigation that unmasked a group of "friends" who chose a cover-up over the truth. We also look at how Rosenda’s case became a catalyst for the MMIW movement in Washington state.

Is "Operation Net Nanny" actually making our communities safer, or is it just a high-cost digital trap? Today on The D-Lo Show, host Ryan "D-Lo" DeLozier breaks down the 2023 report from the Washington State Institute for Public Policy. We explore the two primary scenarios used by detectives, the legal "gray area" of attempt liability, and the surprising finding that Net Nanny defendants look almost exactly like "hands-on" offenders in the data. We also discuss the controversial Senate Bill 5312, which could end lifetime supervision for these men. It’s research vs. reality in the Yakima Valley.

In this episode of The D-Lo Show, we focus on one of the most emotional and high-stakes trials of Yakima’s "Operation Net Nanny": the case of pedophile Hayden Aaron Erlandson. We dive into the digital paper trail left on the Skout meetup app, where Erlandson arranged a meeting with what he believed was a 13-year-old girl—only to find himself surrounded by 70 officers and a helicopter.

We explore the bizarre defense presented in court: that Erlandson believed he was participating in a "kink" roleplay with a 39-year-old woman. We’ll analyze why the jury rejected this claim in just 3.5 hours after hearing how he "zoomed by every off-ramp" to stop the encounter. Finally, we discuss the chilling moment Erlandson broke down sobbing as he was sentenced to an indeterminate term of six years to life—a sentence that means he may remain under state supervision for the rest of his days.

Is it a "stupid decision," as Erlandson claimed at the time of his arrest, or a calculated predatory act? We lay out the facts from the Attorney General’s prosecution and let you decide.

Today on The D-Lo Show, we pull back the curtain on "Operation Net Nanny," a massive 2019 sting operation in Yakima County that snared 15 men, including 74-year-old Union Gap resident and local political commentator Fred Thomson. We explore the chilling digital paper trails, the "lonely man" defense, and the controversial "Special Sex Offender Sentencing Alternative" (SSOSA) that allowed former Zillah Mayor Gary Clark to avoid a decade in prison despite raping two young girls. It’s a deep dive into local justice, public perception vs. private reality, and the thin line between proactive policing and entrapment.

In this heavy-hitting update episode of The D-Lo Show, we shift our focus from the notoriety of a killer to the stark reality of Idaho Department of Correction Inmate #163214. Following the recent and controversial release of thousands of crime scene photos by the Idaho State Police, the families of the victims are fighting back—not just with words, but with legislation. We break down the details of Idaho Senate Bill 1250 and the tireless advocacy of Alivea Goncalves. We also take a closer look at the unsealed autopsy details that reveal the true extent of the violence on King Road, the explosive 126-page lawsuit against Washington State University, and the reports of #163214’s "diva" behavior in solitary confinement. It’s a 60-minute deep dive into the legal, forensic, and emotional fallout of a case that refuses to stay in the past.

On Super Bowl Sunday, 1993, David Lewis was doing exactly what you’d expect: taping the game on his VCR at his home in Amarillo, Texas. But when his family returned from a shopping trip, David was gone. He left his wedding ring and watch on the counter. His car was found blocks away at the courthouse with his keys hidden under the floor mat.

For eleven years, he was a missing person. Then, a detective in Washington State—1,600 miles away—used a new tool called "Google" to solve a decade-old John Doe case. The result was a positive ID, but it only created more questions. How did a man with no ties to the Pacific Northwest end up wandering a dark road in Yakima County just 24 hours after disappearing? Was it a breakdown, a kidnapping, or something far more sinister? This week, we dismantle the impossible timeline of David Glen Lewis.
