On June 9, 2021, Kiran officially launched Unfiltered With Kiran. In this special anniversary episode, Kiran takes you inside the real story of those early days. Where she handled every part of the operation herself — reporting, writing, editing, legal work, and logistics —slowly turning a passion project into a legitimate media company.

You’ll hear how Unfiltered grew from those scrappy beginnings into what it is today: a full app, a podcast, a new website, and a growing team. Kiran also reflects on the major stories that shaped the company — covering hurricanes and relief efforts, breaking news in real time, and pursuing investigations that others wouldn’t touch. This isn’t just a recap of five years in business. It’s a story about resilience, reinvention, and what happens when you decide to bet on yourself after everything falls apart.

]]>3336kiranchawla,news,podcast,tags: #louisianaunfiltered,unfilteredwithkiranfalse1121fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-mother-s-mission-holly-crow-s-fight-for-jody-s-law--72442157Louisiana Unfiltered, Kiran Chawla sits down with Holly Crow, the mother whose relentless advocacy helped pass Jody’s Law — one of the most significant reforms to Louisiana’s hit-and-run statutes in years.
On March 29, 2025, Holly’s 20-year-old daughter, Jody Mann, was struck by a vehicle while walking along Reinninger Road in Denham Springs. The driver fled the scene, leaving Jody critically injured. She fought for her life for weeks before passing away. What followed was a painful battle with grief and a justice system that initially allowed the suspect to be released on pre-set bond.
Determined that no other family should face the same heartbreak and frustration, Holly partnered with State Representative Vanessa LaFleur to craft House Bill 806 — Jody’s Law. The bill sailed through the Louisiana House 98-0 and the Senate 36-0 before being signed into law by Governor Jeff Landry in May 2026. It takes effect August 1.
In this unfiltered conversation, Holly shares the raw story of her daughter’s final days, the emotional weight of testifying at the Capitol, and the moment she watched Jody’s Law become reality. She breaks down exactly what the new law does — requiring a hearing before bail in serious injury or fatal hit-and-run cases, eliminating fixed bail schedules, and creating a rapid law enforcement alert system to quickly identify and locate suspect vehicles — and why she views it as an important first step toward stronger accountability. This is more than a legislative story. It’s a testament to the power of a mother’s love, the resilience of a community, and one voice refusing to stay silent.

He highlights the strong support for his repeal bill, which has over 325 co-sponsors, and details negotiations with the House Ways and Means Committee to advance it.  Graves also addresses Baton Rouge's traffic issues, outlining significant infrastructure projects aimed at improving congestion. He reflects on his decision not to seek re-election due to redistricting concerns, shares insights from his decade-long service, and expresses pride in achievements like the Comite Diversion Canal project. As he anticipates life beyond Congress, Graves conveys both anxiety and hope for future endeavors while emphasizing his commitment to Louisiana's progress.

While Louisiana ranks 22nd in the nation for road rage incidents involving guns, cities like New Orleans have seen a significant number of fatal and non-fatal shootings. The increase in road rage incidents is believed to be linked to impatience, speeding, tailgating, and aggressive driving.  Law enforcement faces challenges in solving these cases due to limited surveillance cameras on interstates and the difficulty of identifying vehicles involved in high-speed incidents.

Solutions to the problem are limited, but individuals can take precautions such as giving aggressive drivers space, avoiding arguments or obscene gestures, keeping windows up and doors locked, and calling 911 if feeling threatened. Slowing down and practicing patience can make a difference in preventing road rage incidents.

Buck Hornsby narrowly escaped death when he was shot while out on his property, crediting a minor ankle injury for saving his life. The community was in shock and fear as more shootings occurred, with Carol Breeden and Brad DeFranceschi becoming victims as well. 

The wives of the victims shared their harrowing experiences of finding their loved ones shot, trying to save them, and dealing with the aftermath of the horrifying events.

Law enforcement worked tirelessly, investigating the shootings and searching for a suspect, unsure if they were dealing with one person or multiple perpetrators.
 
As the number of victims grew, the realization that they were all connected by the same killer became apparent to Sheriff Travis and his team.

Through Jody's candid storytelling, we gain insight into the trauma and manipulation experienced by survivors of such atrocities. Despite the horrors endured, Jody never blamed himself, attributing his awareness of abusers' tactics to a TV show he watched as a child. His resilience shines through as he shares his path to healing and advocacy, encapsulated in his book "Why Gary Why," which not only tells his personal story but offers essential support to other survivors and their families. 

He delves into the complexities of their relationship with Jeff, highlighting the emotional entanglement and struggles wrought by Jeff's troubling behavior.  As the tension escalates, we learn of Jeff's coercive demands on their family, culminating in a threat of never seeing daylight unless compliance was met. Jeff's actions led to aggravated kidnapping charges and a potential life sentence, with an aftermath that you have to hear to believe.

Through Jody's candid storytelling, we gain insight into the trauma and manipulation experienced by survivors of such atrocities. Despite the horrors endured, Jody never blamed himself, attributing his awareness of abusers' tactics to a TV show he watched as a child. His resilience shines through as he shares his path to healing and advocacy, encapsulated in his book "Why Gary Why," which not only tells his personal story but offers essential support to other survivors and their families. 

He delves into the complexities of their relationship with Jeff, highlighting the emotional entanglement and struggles wrought by Jeff's troubling behavior.  As the tension escalates, we learn of Jeff's coercive demands on their family, culminating in a threat of never seeing daylight unless compliance was met. Jeff's actions led to aggravated kidnapping charges and a potential life sentence, with an aftermath that you have to hear to believe.

We discuss the details of what happened that night and explore the issue of consent and the legal limit for alcohol consumption for underage individuals in Louisiana, and discuss the concern about the impact of alcohol consumption on young people in the state.

We move on into the legal perspective of the case, discussing the involvement of the bar that allowed Madison to purchase alcohol and the subsequent shutdown of the establishment.
We highlight the arrests made in connection with the case, including the upgrade of charges from third-degree to first-degree rape.

In a rare interview we have an emotional conversation with Madison's mother, Ashley, who shares her experience of losing her daughter and finding purpose in her pain through the Madison Brooks Foundation. We explore the goals of the foundation, including providing financial assistance, advocating for the safety of young adults, and promoting organ donation. We also discuss the foundation's billboard in Times Square and emphasize the importance of legislation regarding underage drinking. Ashley recounts how she found out about the tragic event, describing the devastating moment when she received a call from the hospital and rushed to see her daughter, only to realize it would likely be the last time she would see her alive.

We confirmed the story and reported on it, despite Acadian's denial.

Multiple employees insisted that Mukherjee had claimed to be a doctor. In fact, Kiran interviewed him herself when he was working as a paramedic, and he mentioned being a fifth-year medical student. Later, it was discovered that he had forged a letter to falsely claim acceptance to medical school.

Mukherjee claimed to have attended Emory Medical School, Tulane, and LSU. This raised suspicions as it seemed like he was weaving a web of lies involving multiple entities. His audacity in deceiving others we and many others found astonishing.

The investigation revealed that Mukherjee used an actual doctors information to call in prescriptions, by using the doctors National Prescription Identifier (NPI) number. Acadian Ambulance, his employer, terminated him immediately upon discovering this, though many find it concerning that someone like him could slip through the verification process at Acadian, especially considering that they provide life-saving care in various communities.

Mukherjee has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges against him. Dr. Le is seeking justice through a civil lawsuit, holding Mukherjee and Acadian Ambulance liable for their roles in the case.
Throughout our investigation, we faced challenges in obtaining responses from various agencies. However, a federal grand jury indictment validated our concerns, and the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation and the Criminal Investigative Division of the Louisiana Department of Justice launched an investigation into potential medical fraud.

We also interview Dallon Bush and Jamie Gontarek, who represent Dr. Le in the case. They discuss their involvement and the misuse of Dr. Le's NPI number by Mukherjee.

Dr. Ruben Patel, the founder of Patient Plus, joined Daniel and Katherine to shed light on the reasons behind the harsh flu season.

Factors such as the absence of outstanding previous flu seasons, potential and vaccine fatigue seem to be leading to reduced vaccination rates, and increased socialization all contributed to the heightened prevalence of the flu according to Dr. Patel.

Dr. Patel emphasized the importance of getting vaccinated and debunked common myths, such as getting the flu from the vaccine itself. "Although the effectiveness of this year's vaccine is yet to be determined, it can significantly reduce the impact of the flu, especially for individuals with underlying health conditions" he said.

He is seeing an increase in both flu A and flu B cases this year. Symptoms of this year's flu variant include fever, chills, fatigue, malaise, runny nose, and headache. Children are being heavily impacted by the flu due to their less developed immune systems and increased exposure to other children. Dr. Patel recommends to get the flu vaccine in October, although it's never too late to get it. The flu season is expected to continue into January and possibly beyond.

As we approach the holidays and Mardi Gras, we discuss staying healthy and preventing the spread of viruses. Dr. Patel say's It's essential to wash hands, cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing, and stay home if you're sick. Rest, fluids, and staying home are the best remedies for the flu, and antiviral medications like Tamiflu can help if taken within 48-72 hours of symptoms. He also recommends avoiding what he stated is "over-prescribing antibiotics" for viral illnesses like colds and sinus infections to prevent antibiotic resistance. Pneumonia can be bacterial and can be diagnosed through symptoms and an x-ray.

We also discuss the spread of RSV, a common virus in young children, and its varying symptoms' severity. Dr. Patel noted that it is important to seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen, especially if there is a fever or unexplained illness. Precautions such as washing hands, rest, and staying away from gatherings when feeling sick can help prevent the spread of illnesses. Especially when attending super-spreading events like Mardi Gras.

Dr. Patel also stated the importantace of having essential medications in your medicine cabinet, such as ibuprofen, Tylenol, anti-allergy medicine, decongestants, and cough medication, but to always consult with your doctor for specific needs.

Let's hope this flu season ends soon, especially with Mardi Gras season approaching. Stay healthy, everyone!
