The screenshots above are not in chronological order and they are just some of the posts I have done on the Miranda's Rescue investigation. They are also just some of the posts I have done calling out Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal and the Miranda's Rescue investigation.
The first thing that I did when I heard HCSO was at Shannon Miranda's the second time was put in a request for the search warrant that morning. I received it today.
It was signed by Humboldt Superior Court Judge Steven Steward on 6/15/26 which was a Monday. Look at my post on 6/12/26 which was on a Friday.
Clearly, my calling out HCSO, Sheriff Honsal and the two complaining parties, Jennifer Raymond and Jenna Moore is a burr in the saddle for them. It worked to finally get HCSO to put up or shut up.
I have also repeatedly called out "homicide school" HCSO Det. Julian Aguilera more than once in this investigation and other coverage. Under Sheriff Honsal, many experienced HCSO staff have left. I looked at Det. Aguilera's experience in the first affadavit. For him to have the same title as others with more experience is more proof that Sheriff Honsal makes poor choices.
I had already reported about the first search warrant being rejected by Humboldt Superior Court Judge Kelly Neel. I just had to wait to get the proof on 6/18.
Why was the second search warrant not executed until 6/23 when it was signed on the 6/15?
My guess would be that one reason is coordinating with the Humboldt County DA, FBI and consulting with other agencies takes time. Sheriff Billybob wanted a photo op and headlines with the gawker party led by Jenna Moore, Jennifer Raymond and their cohorts praising what a good job he does. Consulting gave him the sound bytes he needed so it looks like he knows what he is doing.
The second search warrant and affadavit was authored by Sgt. Shane Steele. Not only is his experience more impressive than Det. Aguilera, the search warrant is well written. If anyone should be promoted to Det and in major crimes, it is Sgt. Steele. You think that my calling out the flaws had nothing to do with someone else leading the Miranda's investigation?
The haters who are going off on me do not have the brains to realize that I am not on anyone's side. I am pro truth. I have sat through daily in Humboldt courtrooms and seen how prosecutions of cases are impacted by the initial investigation. Mistakes lead to pleas and even dismissals.
The headlines, stats and proof that Sheriff Billybob takes credit for belong to Sgt. Steele. He meticulously covered what they could search for and if HCSO can build a strong case and the Humboldt County DA decides to file charges against Shannon Miranda; it will be because of Sgt. Steele's hard work which the Jenna Moore and Jennifer Raymond clown show has tainted and jeopardized by their egos and stupidity.
It is unclear if there will be criminal and civil charges or just civil charges or charges at all.
A personal beef between Jenna Moore and Shannon Miranda and his husband is not reason to waste HCSO or court resources. The animals, who Moore, Raymond and all the pitchfork crowd claim are the reason for this investigation deserve better than a daily reality show, Det. Aguilera and a Sheriff whose ego won't allow him to admit mistakes he made.
There are so many criminal cases and civil cases in Humboldt that are drama and personal disputes. Humboldt is the Jerry Springer show. Daily episodes can be seen at the Courthouse on the second floor featuring Humboldt's worst.
Lawyers and investigators do not get some of the information I do in Humboldt. I don't make money or get credit in Humboldt because of thin skinned, selfish, petty, immature losers and users but I do get abuse and retaliation for doing journalism that others who are cowards do not report. They are promoted and funded by law enforcement and the good ole Humboldt cabal because they know their place.
I have an effective platform and I don't need to waste it on Humboldt. I would not have to keep pointing this out if I was treated fairly and Humboldt wouldn't keep costing me money and jeopardizing my health and safety.
There is a sickness, evil and an obsession about this Miranda's Rescue darkness that I have not even seen in homicide and sex abuse cases.
The FBI should take over this case. The Humboldt clique won't get to dictate anything. The death threats and other harassment will be taken seriously. Rob Bonta is too busy sending out a gazillion press releases daily and holding press conferences because of his constant TDS. California legislators have proved they are incapable of oversight. The alleged fraud investigation should include every animal rescue organization in Humboldt and those from out of Humboldt who sent animals here. Investigate every single party involved if this is about animals. It needs to be done by an agency independent of Humboldt and California.
If complaints were made against Shannon Miranda for years and ignored by HCSO, why have Jenna Moore and Jennifer Raymond or anyone making these claims not released that information? Do they have incident numbers or dates? If this is about the animals, then release that information to all media and the public. It has to be authenticated and verified for me to publish any such claim.
I don't believe in summarizing Sgt. Steele's words. I am not posting all the pages of the affadavit I paid for but the excerpts I am adding wont be my interpretation but Sgt. Steele's own words. Unlike other media, I will also include the statement of probable cause where it states Jenna Moore and Jennifer Raymond conducted their own investigation prior to coming to law enforcement. That is relevant. The third page I have included has been cropped towards the end where Shannon Miranda's dob is listed. When and if charges are filed, Shannon can chose to provide a defense to the probable cause just like anyone else charged with alleged crimes. Whether his own words based on the affadavit can be proved or not in a court of law and whether those inconsistencies can be corrobrated by evidence is too premature to speculate this early in an investigation. When those interviews were conducted, were all proper procedures including his Miranda rights properly administered? That is something an experienced criminal defense attorney and one who is not in the Humboldt clique should weigh in on and not the keyboard warriors of Humboldt and the pitchfork crowd. There is not enough information in this affadavit about any of those factors.
