Inthe 1970s, she worked security for Pinkerton and briefly considered trying to become a police or corrections officer. It was only the physical challenges of these jobs that kept her from going for it.

Her career path changed a few times over the years. For a while she owned a cleaning company. She also spent some time working the cash register at a party store. Her last job before retiring was at AT&T in customer service.

Yrlas started volunteering for the Genesee County Scanner Facebook page in 2012. She listened to the scanner, posted what she heard, and felt like she was doing something productive for her community.

Penzer has epilepsy and underwent brain surgery in 1997. His seizures have recently come back, but for the first twelve years after the surgery, he stopped having them and also found a new sense of adventure. Something about the removal of his hippocampus made Penzer want to live life on the edge.

In 2019, the Genesee County 911 Communications Center began digitally encrypting all police radio channels meaning the dispatches could not be accessed by the public. Yrlas said that happened because a lot of people were going to chase police, and gawk at the crime scenes.

One time she heard over the scanner that police were chasing a man with a gun through her neighborhood. It was while her grandchildren were playing outside in her yard. She pulled them in as soon as she heard the dispatch, and moments later saw the man run right past her house.
