Norwalk, CA
The body of former Norwalk High School student and recent UCLA graduate Scott Neacato has been found today, according to his longtime friend Varun Shahi. Still getting the details, but I did want to pass this sad news along to my readers.

I am still waiting for official confirmation for the Coroner's Office in Tulare County. I have a call into them right now, as of 10:49 p.m.

Many people have been involved in the attempt to find Scott, ever since went missing three weeks ago.

Also swept away in the incident was Minh Tu Nquyen, 24 from nearby Westminster. The pair was last seen in the river near Ant Canyon around 6:30 p.m. last Monday, June 13. The popular camping site is located about 10 miles north of Kernville, in Tulare County, it is a very popular location for college and university students to visit during spring and summer breaks. Nguyen's body was recovered around 10 days ago around.

Varun told me tonight in an email that: "It's tough Randy, though we had all accepted the truth 2 weeks ago there was still that small chance of hope.. but this is good for all his family and friends, at least they can get the closure they all deserve."

Above are two interviews I conducted with Varun and some his and Scott's lifelong BEST FRIENDS, at the Los Cerritos Communtiy News Room two weeks ago. They knew Scott better than anyone and tonight they are all remembering him...

More details forthcoming....

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
