    Who rolls around with 20k in a backpack? Male black and Backpack boy definitely know each other. I heard there are tons of “Male Blacks” in Canyon Country and Palmdale, the Cops should start their search there. Or better yet, just ask Backpack boy who he was meeting to buy drugs from.

  2. Why would anyone leave $20,000 in a backpack in their car?

  3. Seriously? Who in their right mind would leave a backpack with that kind of cash unattended?

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
