Rachel Morin's mother cried as the man charged in her murder walked into the courtroom. It was the first time Patty Morin had seen Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez in person. Now, a judge has granted a defense request to postpone the trial to April 1, 2025.
The suspect in Rachel Morin's brutal murder was found casually sitting in a Tulsa, Oklahoma bar. During the arrest, Hernandez initially lies to authorities about his true identity and denies any knowledge of the attack on a 9-year-old little girl in Los Angeles and the murder of Morin.
The Morin family and investigators strongly believe that the two known crimes are not the only ones Victor Hernandez committed while in the U.S. The attack on a little girl and her mother in L.A. came just two months after Hernandez allegedly murdered a woman in his native El Salvador.
Rachel Morin’s body was found nearly five months later, and another 10 months passed before Hernandez’s arrest. More than a year of Hernandez’s time in the U.S. is still unaccounted for.
While there is a sense of closure, Morin’s sister, Rebekah, says it also feels like "day one all over again."
Matt McMahon, the father of Morin’s eldest daughter, says the Ma and Pa trail feels like it ‘belongs to Rachel again,’ and is even more grateful for the arrest as their daughter, Faye, is now expecting her own little girl later this year.
McMahon describes the news as bittersweet, knowing how excited Rachel Morin would be to learn she was going to be a grandmother.

A judge ruled that Jennifer Gledhill cannot have contact with her children. Prosecutors say the children could be witnesses.
The defense claims the protective order is "an overall heavy-handed kind of punishment." Defense attorney Jeremy Deus told the judge, "It feels like the state, the city, and the police agency that investigated this are trying to set everything my client loves on fire." The judge lifted the protective order but maintained a no-contact order.
A police informant helped break the case when he told police that Matthew Johnson was murdered by his wife, Jennifer Gledhill. Pressed for more details, the informant claimed he knew what happened because he was having an affair with Gledhill, who had confided in him about the incident.
According to the informant, Gledhill told her "lover" that her husband yelled at her after discovering she was seeing someone else. Later that night, when he went to sleep in their shared bed, she allegedly shot him in the head. The informant also claimed Gledhill said she placed Johnson's body in a rooftop storage container, slid it down the stairs of their home, and loaded it into a minivan. She reportedly told him she dug a hole "north" of their home and buried the body in a shallow grave. Matthew Johnson remains missing.
Investigators also spoke with a neighbor who reported that Gledhill's parents were at the house cleaning late into the evening, despite her mother’s claim that they had only been there for an hour. Gledhill's mother allegedly said she bought a mattress from Amazon at her daughter’s request. Jennifer Gledhill's parents have now been arrested as well.

The investigation into Sean "Diddy" Combs has entered new territory as a New York federal grand jury hears new evidence. According to an attorney representing some victims, a male client of hers is testifying today.
This development follows new information about requirements Combs’ employees reportedly enforced for admitting women to his White Parties. According to sources, these requirements included: women could not weigh over 140 pounds, with weight verified by a nearby scale.
Other restrictions included no flab, cellulite, excessive piercings, or heavy tattoos. Women had to avoid short hair, pants, or jeans and instead were expected to be young, attractive, and dressed provocatively. Each woman had to wear a short party dress just covering her buttocks, along with stilettos.

Richard Allen's confessions have been a focus for testimony this week in the Delphi Murders Trial. Prosecutors have noted that Allen confessed 61 times.
John Galipeau, the former warden of the Westville Correctional Facility, testified that Allen wrote him a note in 2023 that read, "I am ready to officially for confess killing Abby and Libby. I hope I get the opportunity to tell the families I’m sorry." Galipeau said Allen admitted to getting rid of a box cutter in a dumpster behind his work place.
A clinical psychologist who examined Richard Allen, told a jury that Allen said his intentions were "sexual," and that Allen called himself “too much of a coward” to kill himself. During some of his confessions, Dr. Monica Wala said Allen gave specific details about the crime, which only the suspect would know.

RJ McLeod and Krystal Mitchell meet when she shows him an apartment. McLeod, a large man, is a bodybuilder and former Marine. As they start dating, Krystal tells her mother about this new man in her life, noting that he is also a devoted father to his son. Krystal confides in McLeod about her issues with a stalker, and McLeod gives her a gun for protection.
The pair travels to California to visit some of RJ’s friends in San Diego. After socializing with his friends, RJ and Krystal head to a local bar for a few drinks. They return to the condo after 1 a.m. About an hour later, the friend’s wife hears a woman sobbing, followed by a sound like “ah,” and then silence.
The next morning, McLeod greets the friend’s wife as he passes through the kitchen on his way out of the apartment. The friend and his wife leave, but when the friend returns around 1 p.m., he finds the apartment silent. He opens the guest bedroom door and immediately calls 911.
McLeod’s friend finds Krystal Mitchell in bed, partially nude, bloody, and deceased. On the 911 call, he initially tells the dispatcher, “this is a homicide.” He adds that he tried unsuccessfully to revive her. Investigators later determine there were clear signs of a struggle, with furniture shifted around the room. Krystal Mitchell sustained numerous injuries, including blunt force trauma to her face and torso. She had been strangled, with multiple fractures around her neck.
Investigators learn that McLeod returned to a nearby bar around noon to pay his tab from the night before and retrieve his credit card. He tells a waitress he has a “flight to catch.” McLeod takes Krystal Mitchell’s car to the San Diego airport, parks it, rents a different car, and drives into Mexico. Police name RJ McLeod as a person of interest in Krystal Mitchell’s death, and officials issue a warrant for his arrest on murder charges.
For six years, investigators believe McLeod is hiding in Central America or Mexico. Reports emerge of sightings in Guatemala, Belize, and Mexico, but McLeod remains elusive. Authorities finally capture him in El Salvador and return him to the United States, where he claims Krystal’s death was a case of rough sex gone wrong.

The King County, Washington, 911 call center receives a call an area known for multi-million dollar homes in the Fall City area at 4:55 am. A 15-year-old boy says he is hiding in a bathroom on the main floor of the house because his 13-year-old brother, Benjamin, just shot is family and then "took himself out."
Another call comes in to the 911 center at 5:02 am. Bradley Dennis lives down the street from the Humiston residence and says the 11-year-old sister of Andrew Humiston arrived at his home ringing the doorbell over and over until they answered the door. The girl says her family has been shot and are all dead. Bradely Dennis says the girl appears injured by a possible gunshot wound and she is bleeding from her neck and hand.
The 11-year-old girl tells 911 dispatch she survived the attack by pretending to be dead when the gunman came into her room. As soon as the gunman left, the girl says she climbed out a "fire window" and ran into the middle of the street. When she looks into a window at the front of their home she saw the gunman who shot her.
When an operator asks who that was, the girl tells 911 that her brother is the one who killed everyone--and she is terrified he will come to the neighbors house to kill her.

An Ohio woman convicted of fatally shooting her boyfriend after he broke up with her to go on a date with a beauty queen is back in the news.
When police arrested Shayna Hubers, she claimed that Ryan Poston was abusive and that she was trying to escape from him. Prosecutors argued that shooting him in the face, followed by five more shots to his body, showed she intended to kill him. Hubers was sentenced to life in prison. She now says she’s ready for new love.
In her WriteAPrisoner profile, Hubers states she’s seeking “someone who won’t judge me by my past, but by the woman I’ve become.

Sean "Diddy" Combs faces seven new lawsuits from alleged victims of molestation and sexual assault, bringing the total number of plaintiffs to 27. Two of the latest anonymous plaintiffs are minors, and several unnamed celebrities are cited in the accusations. Each case has been assigned to a different judge, with at least two judges asking plaintiffs to justify their anonymity.
Many victims report similar experiences of being drugged with laced drinks at Combs’ parties, later waking up disoriented with either memories of assault or physical injuries suggesting assault. Two of the latest plaintiffs, including a 17-year-old boy, accepted party invitations from Combs hoping to advance their music careers. Some attacks date back to the early 2000s, with others as recent as 2022.
This comes amid reports that Combs allegedly required staff to carry various drugs for his use at all times. Kristina Khorram, his chief of staff, reportedly enforced this rule to ensure Combs’ drug of choice was always available.
Among the alleged substances were pills, ecstasy, marijuana gummies, and GHB, with one of Combs' preferred drugs reportedly being "pink cocaine," a mix of ecstasy, ketamine, caffeine, and the psychedelic 2-CB, also known as Tusi.
Former NBA player and recovering addict Lamar Odom says pink cocaine can cause auditory hallucinations. It’s also reportedly the same drug Liam Payne used shortly before falling to his death from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony

On day five of Richard Allen's murder trial, jurors heard testimony from the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsies of Abby Williams and Libby German, as well as from a witness who saw the 'Bridge Guy' on the day of the murders.
Dr. Ronald Kohr, who previously reported that he believed two knives were used in the killings, testified that he now believes the 'serration' seen in some of Libby's wounds was likely caused by an element on the handle of the blade. Kohr suggested that a box cutter with an extra thumb grip could have been the sole murder weapon. This testimony surprised Allen's defense team and directly contradicted Andrew Baldwin's opening statement, aligning instead with the state's claim that Allen used a box cutter to slash the girls' necks.
Sarah Carbaugh, a lifelong Delphi resident who was walking her dogs on the afternoon of February 13, 2017, also testified about her sighting of the 'Bridge Guy.' She said she saw a man walking west on Country Road 300, covered in blood and mud, as if he had fallen on the trail. Carbaugh later recognized him from the video clip released from Libby's phone, but waited three weeks to report the sighting due to anxiety.
Allen's defense questioned Carbaugh about discrepancies in her description during cross-examination, noting that her recorded interview mentioned blood only once. Baldwin also pointed out unusual details in her description, including her remark about the man's "effeminate eyes." Carbaugh pushed back, reminding Baldwin that over an hour of her interview video had been accidentally destroyed.
Jurors have yet to hear testimony on Allen's 61 confessions. Among the hundreds of pages of court documents released since the start of the trial, a signed confession letter from Allen, stating, "I hope I get the opportunity to tell the families I'm sorry."

The search for missing mom Suzanne Clark Simpson has entered its third week, while her husband remains behind bars and refuses to cooperate with the investigation.
Police and search teams have searched four locations around San Antonio, uncovering no new evidence in the mom’s disappearance. After four days, police have ended the search at a landfill in southeast Bexar County. Authorities said they focused on the site after GPS data led them there and were confident they would recover Suzanne’s remains, but now admit they found no evidence during the search.
Olmos Park Police have resumed their search for Suzanne Simpson in wooded areas around Olmos Park. They have enlisted the help of Texas Search and Rescue and continue to ask the public to leave the search to professionals. Foot searchers and dog teams are combing several areas for any trace of Suzanne.
At his arrest in Boerne two weeks ago, Brad Simpson was charged with unlawful restraint and assault. However, the husband of the missing woman is now also facing a federal gun charge, 10 years in prison, and a $250,000 fine. Simpson’s family turned over his arsenal of weapons after Suzanne’s disappearance, including an unregistered Grand Power Stribog SP9 A3, a short-barrel rifle. He also owned several silencers.
Simpson’s defense attorney claims police are manipulating public perception of his client with “ludicrous” charges. Steven Gilmore repeats that Simpson reported Suzanne missing immediately after learning she missed kindergarten pickup.
He also insists Simpson wanted to cooperate with Olmos Park police but suspected authorities were trying to obtain an arrest warrant when Chief Villegas rescheduled their follow-up interview three times.

Libby German's and Abby Williams' families were informed that crime scene photos, including some very gruesome images of the girls, would be shown during testimony.
Although the photos have not been made public, they were shown to the jury, and members of the gallery could also see them. As the photos were displayed, Crime Scene Investigator Sergeant Jason Page described what was captured in the 42 crime scene photos, including more than 20 images of Libby and Abby.
Sgt. Page took the crime scene photos presented in court. Referring to the area as "ground zero," Page explained that the taped-off section was roughly the size of a football field, though most of the physical evidence was concentrated within 30 to 40 feet of the girls' bodies.
The photos clearly showed a significant amount of blood at the scene, with Sgt. Page testifying that there was enough blood to soak into the ground beneath the leaves.
One of the photos depicted Libby and Abby lying less than five feet apart, their feet angled toward each other. Fourteen-year-old Libby was nude, her pale skin stained with blood on her hands, thigh, chest, throat, and face. She was covered with twigs, which crisscrossed her throat, and a heavy bough lay lengthwise across her left side.
Thirteen-year-old Abby, lying to Libby's right, was dressed in some of Libby's clothing in addition to her own. Sgt. Jason Page noted that her jeans appeared damp.
During the photo presentation, an image unexpectedly flashed on the screen without warning or introduction. It was a close-up of Libby German's bloodied face.
The image startled the courtroom, causing audible gasps from the families in the gallery, and prompted an apology from State Attorney James Luttrull Jr., who said he had intended to provide a lead-in to the picture.
Anticipating the prosecution's introduction of audio and video recordings from Libby German's phone, Richard Allen's defense team filed a motion requesting that the judge prevent the jury from seeing or hearing the recordings that were provided to the defense.
The defense team argued that the audio and video supplied by the state had been manipulated, with the audio enhanced and sections of the recording looped.
The defense is not asking to block the jury from seeing or hearing the recordings but is seeking guidelines on how the jurors will view and listen to them. They also want specific limits on the questions that can be asked of witnesses regarding the recordings.
The request aims to prevent questions that would lead witnesses to interpret the words and sounds. The defense stated, "It is up to the jury to determine what words or sounds exist on the recordings."
Richard Allen's defense team claims that the audio and video clips from Libby German's phone, provided by the state, had been enhanced and that certain sounds were looped, repeating a phrase spoken by either Libby or Abby, along with an audio clip of a man's voice.
The defense argues that these enhancements are "investigatory tools" and that "interpreting the words and sounds on the enhanced video requires a completely subjective analysis

The trial of Richard Allen is underway at the Carroll County Courthouse, where seating is limited to 72 seats.
Cameras are prohibited in the courtroom, but the judge has designated 12 seats for media coverage. On the first day, after jurors arrived, journalists' cameras outside the courthouse were confiscated. Judge Fran Gull has warned the media not to follow or photograph jurors, who will be sequestered for the month-long trial.
Citizens hoping to attend the trial have been camping out, and for the first two days of testimony, anyone arriving after 2:30 a.m. could not secure a seat.
Despite years of coverage on the murders of Libby German and Abby Williams, police have never disclosed how the girls were killed. During his opening statement, Prosecutor Nick McLeland informed the jury, "You're going to see the crime scene. It was a gruesome scene.
Libby was completely naked. Her throat was cut, blood all over. Abby's throat was also cut."
The prosecution focused its case on three key points: the "Bridge Guy," the unspent bullet found at the crime scene, and the brutal murders of Libby and Abby near the Monon High Bridge.
Prosecutor McLeland outlined a timeline, stating that Libby posted a photo of Abby on Snapchat while they crossed the Monon High Bridge. After noticing a man behind them, Libby started recording on her phone at 2:13 p.m. on February 13, 2017. McLeland said the man pulled a gun and ordered the girls "down the hill." The girls complied, and the phone video then stopped recording.
McLeland added that Richard Allen admitted to being on the trail that day. Investigators later found a gun at his house, and testing showed that an unspent round found between the girls at the crime scene had been cycled through that gun.
McLeland also stated that Allen voluntarily confessed to the crime to both his wife and mother while in jail.

Steven Schwally, the former marine who plowed his vehicle through a nail salon killing four says behind bars, "his goose is cooked." Shocking video released of the moments leading up to a devastating crash that claimed four lives at a nail salon on Long Island. The horrific footage appears to show the ex-marine visibly disheveled, buying liquor, before getting behind the wheel of his SUV and allegedly turning his vehicle into a deadly battering ram.
Stephen Schwally is seen on video speeding through a parking lot at close to 80-miles-per-hour, almost hitting pedestrians in a crosswalk before charging at full-speed into the Hawaii Nail & Spa. The video appears to show no deceleration from Schwally's vehicle, and the sound of screams can be heard from the salon as customers are seen running out of other businesses to see what is happening.
Inside Hawaii Nail & Salon, four people are dead, 9 others injured, some very seriously. One of those killed is NYPD Officer, Emilia Rennhack. The 30-year-old was assigned to the 102nd precinct in Queens where her husband, Carl Rennhack, is a detective. The Rennhacks were a month away from celebrating their one-year anniversary. Emilia Rennhack was getting her nails done for a friend's upcoming wedding.
41-year-old Yan Xu, and 50-year-old Meizi Zhang both worked at Hawaii Nail & Salon and were also killed in the crash. Yan Xu's family is seeking help in a fundraiser on GoFundMe to raise money for the care of her elderly father and her 12-year-old son, who has polio.
Kenny Chen, the manager of Hawaii Nail & Salon is among the 4 killed when the SUV crashed through the salon at nearly 80 miles per hour. Chen's wife was also at the salon at the time, and she is critically injured. She has already had one surgery with more to come, doctors say her recovery will take at least two years. The Chen's have two children, ages ten and five, and with their father dead and the mother facing multiple surgeries and years of recovery, a GoFundMe is set up by a nephew who says with the salon their only source of income, with Kenny Chen dead and his wife critically injured, they don't know where to turn for help.

Jose Ibarra is indicted on nine felony counts and one misdemeanor. The misdemeanor charge is for interfering with a call for emergency help. The felony charges include malice murder, three felony murder charges, kidnapping, aggravated assault with intent to rape, aggravated battery, tampering with evidence and peeping tom. Unlike many states, Georgia doesn't have degrees of murder. Malice murder requires intent, while felony murder has a lower burden of proof and does not require intent to kill. Ibarra has pleaded not guilty to the charges
The defense for Jose Ibarra aims to challenge the evidence prosecutors plan to use at trial and have filed motions attempting to incriminate evidence that was seized through a search warrant at Ibarra's home. The defense is also challenging DNA and fingerprint evidence that the prosecution says will prove Jose Ibarra murdered Laken Riley.
Hearing the motions in the Clarke County Courthouse, Judge Patrick Haggard, will have to make his rulings before the case goes to trial in mid-November. The judge has set another hearing for November first where the defense is challenging critical fingerprint identification, DNA, and social media evidence. Defense Attorney Dustin Kirby tells the judge he needs more time to study the DNA data he recently received.

The number of lawsuits filed against Sean Diddy Combs grows. Seven new civil lawsuits have been filed. Six of the cases are from anonymous victims’ represented by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee. Four of the accusers are male, one of the men a minor at the time of the alleged ‘White Party’ assault. Like the other alleged attacks, this one too happened at a White Party.
The victim, a 16-year-old aspiring artist, saw his invitation as a chance to rub shoulders with big names in the industry. He was shocked and confused when Combs took him aside and told him to drop his pants if he “wants to break into the industry.” Out of fear the teen eventually complied, and Combs grabbed and held his exposed penis for an extended period of time, before returning to the party, saying over his shoulder, ‘We’ll be in touch,’ as he walked away.
The remaining four John and Jane Does all allege that Sean Combs attacked them after plying them with alcohol or drugs at parties ranging from 1995 to 2021. One woman was a freshman in college when Combs locked her in a hotel room and forced her to perform oral sex on him. Another man wasn’t even a party attendee. The victim was working as a White Party security guard when Combs forced him to take a drink that the victim believes was laced, before shoving him into a van and raping him. Another of Buzbee’s client says he lost his job at the flagship Herald Square Macy’s Department Store after reporting that Combs attacked him in the storeroom.
The seventh and most recent filing by Ariel Mitchell is on behalf of Ashley Parham, a woman who claims Combs and three other men ‘gang raped’ her for making a comment about his possible involvement in Tupac’s murder.
Ashley Parham alleges that she met Sean Combs over Facetime when a date called him in an attempt to impress her. With Combs still on the phone, Ashley comments that she isn’t impressed and has always thought he was involved in Tupac’s murder. Before they hang up, Combs tells Ashley she will “pay” for what she said. Ashley agrees to meet up with her date as his apartment, but says when she arrived, Combs and three other men were waiting with knives. Ashley says Combs threatened to kill her and raped her with a tv remote before passing her off to the other men to “use.”
In an effort to combat the lawsuits, Diddy’s attorneys want the judge to release the names of victims in order to build a defense.

On a Monday afternoon, Brad Simpson receives a call from his youngest child’s school.
Staff are concerned because his wife, Suzanne, is nearly 30 minutes late picking up their kindergartener and isn’t answering her phone. Simpson picks up his daughter and makes several calls, but no one has heard from Suzanne. Her co-workers confirm she wasn’t at the office. Brad Simpson reports his wife missing.
Olmos Park police are searching for Suzanne Simpson, a 51-year-old mother of four. She is described as a white female, approximately 5’5” tall, weighing 140 pounds, with hazel eyes and brown hair that falls just below her shoulders.
Suzanne was last seen outside her East Olmos Drive home on Sunday evening after having dinner at The Argyle, a private club in Alamo Heights. She was wearing a black short-sleeved dress, nude chunky heels, and a watch or bracelet on her right wrist.
The night before, Suzanne and Brad had dinner at The Argyle. Nothing seemed unusual during the meal. However, when they returned home around 9 p.m., Suzanne called her mother, describing a physical argument with Brad. About an hour later, a neighbor heard loud arguing from the house.
The noise grew louder, prompting the neighbor to look outside. They saw the Simpsons physically fighting. Suzanne, still dressed from dinner, appeared to be trying to get away, but Brad kept pulling her back. The couple eventually moved out of the neighbor’s view.
Suzanne Simpson now missing.

While studying abroad in London, Amber Berbiglia meets Jose Tolsar and returns home in love.
After two years of dating, they plan to marry just weeks after her college graduation. One Friday afternoon, Amber leaves her apartment to pay bills and run errands. She stops to refuel at Murphy Gas in North Charleston.
Amber texts on her phone until 2:30 p.m. and is scheduled to start work at 4 p.m., but she never shows up. A co-worker calls to check on her, but the call goes straight to voicemail.
Later that Friday, a 911 call reports an injured person near a car on Old Sanders Road, under the Robert Edge Parkway overpass in North Myrtle Beach. Police respond quickly, finding a woman lying next to her running car with no witnesses in sight. A cell phone, inches from her hand, is actively ringing with missed calls, texts, and emails.
First responders find the woman with severe facial injuries that initially make it appear she had been shot. She had already died by the time help arrived, and no witnesses were present to explain what had happened. Investigators discover the woman’s purse inside the car with cash still intact, ruling out robbery as a motive. The victim is identified as Amber Berbiglia

A judge has set a new trial date in a civil case against Rebecca Grossman.
The socialite was convicted of second-degree murder in the deaths of two Westlake Village boys, Mark and Jacob Iskander. The 8- and 11-year-old boys were struck and killed by a speeding car driven by Grossman.
Just after 7 p.m. on a September evening, Jacob and Mark Iskander, their siblings, and parents went for an evening stroll to a nearby lake. The six-member family was crossing in a crosswalk at a three-way intersection when mother Nancy heard a speeding car coming their way.
She says her husband and daughter were farther from the street. She tried to signal to two approaching SUVs to slow down. She managed to grab one of her children and dive out of the way, but Jacob and Mark were hit. Mark Iskander died at the scene, and Jacob died later at the hospital. According to police, Mark was thrown 254 feet.
Nancy Iskander told police that two SUVs were "zig-zagging with each other as if they were playing or racing." She said the drivers didn’t stop at the intersection, not even when the 11-year-old was on the hood of the car. Deputies reportedly caught up with a white Mercedes with significant front-end damage a third of a mile from the scene.
Behind the wheel was Rebecca Grossman. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department believes the vehicle was traveling over 80 miles an hour. Grossman’s breathalyzer test after the crash showed a blood alcohol content of 0.076%, according to local news reports.
The legal limit in California is 0.08%. A blood sample taken three hours after the crash registered at 0.08%

Chanti Dixson gets off of work after midnight Sunday morning, and immediately orders an Uber to run a quick errand before heading home. When they make it to the drop-off location, Chanti asks the driver to wait for her a moment, she’ll order a second ride home when she finishes her errand. The driver agrees and Chanti orders the second ride. A few hours later, Chanti’s family realizes she never made it home. The mom isn’t answering her phone either. When Chanti is still unaccounted for 24 hours later, her family reports her missing and heads to her home to search for clues. Inside her home, a family member finds Chanti’s Apple watch. The watch shows Chanti’s phone is still pinging, not far from her home. The family walks toward the phone’s location, ending up in a wooded area about two blocks away.
As the confused family walks through the area, Chanti’s mom, Rise Dixon doesn’t find her daughter’s phone—but sees what looks like a crumpled figure behind a concrete barrier. As she gets closer, Rise realizes it’s a woman lying on her stomach. Her head is covered with a sweatshirt, and she’s naked from the waist down and unresponsive. Rise calls 911, fearing the worst. Investigators discover the woman died from a single gunshot wound to the temple. Rise identifies the woman as her daughter, Chanti Dixon.

Scott Peterson won another court victory in his attempt to have his murder conviction overturned. He was originally sentenced to death for the murders of his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son, Connor, but that sentence was later overturned. The court determined that Peterson's trial judge improperly dismissed jurors who opposed capital punishment. He was resentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
Now, a California judge is granting Scott Peterson discovery rights, 20 years post-conviction. The defense team believes these materials could support their claims of trial irregularities and potential evidence mishandling. The judge rejected several requests from Peterson's team for specific evidence while approving others.
The Los Angeles Innocence Project and Scott Peterson want to test other items related to a burglary near their home that they believe are connected to the case. Their current theory is that Laci was abducted and killed by burglars who broke into a home across the street from the Petersons' on Christmas Eve 2002. This theory is based on the idea that Laci was still alive after Scott left to go fishing because multiple witnesses saw her walking her dog in the neighborhood.
DNA testing is also being conducted on a piece of duct tape found on Laci Peterson’s remains

Sean "Diddy" Combs' attorneys are returning to court for a third bail hearing, hoping for a different outcome.
A judge previously denied bond, citing Combs as both a flight risk and a threat to witnesses. Combs disputes these concerns. Meanwhile, Combs' mother, Janice Combs, has publicly responded to the allegations for the first time.
In a lengthy statement, she criticized what she called the "public lynching" of her son. While acknowledging that he has made mistakes and been dishonest about his treatment of his ex-girlfriend, she insists he is not guilty of the "repulsive allegations" and charges against him.
Janice Combs described the multiple lawsuits as attempts to extort money and blamed the federal indictment on his legal team's mishandling of Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit.

Moving the trial of Bryan Kohberger nearly 300 miles from the crime scene may provide a larger jury pool, but it also creates potential hardship for some victims' families.
A GoFundMe account has been launched to help the Goncalves family raise money so they can attend the trial, now set to take place nearly 400 miles from their home. The family, living about 100 miles north of Moscow, has attended every hearing and court appointment since the legal process began and does not want that to change.
The trial of Bryan Kohberger is scheduled for next June and is expected to last about three months. The Goncalves family started the GoFundMe campaign titled "Help Kaylee Goncalves Family Attend Trial" to raise funds for accommodations, hoping to secure an Airbnb or house for all 10 family members and their small pets during the trial.
They also aim to cover loss of income, food, and other essentials. Today, father Steve Goncalves joined Nancy Grace.

Matthew Johnson serves in the military as a National Guardsman in the Special Ops Unit.
He takes a brief leave of absence as the children return to school. On the day Johnson is set to return to work, his wife, Jennifer Gledhill, reports him missing. She tells police he should have been home from base hours earlier, but his phone is going straight to voicemail. It turns out Johnson never showed up to work that morning. Jennifer says she last saw him driving away from their home.
The last time anyone other than Jennifer saw Johnson was three days before he was reported missing, at a neighborhood gas station. Neighbors recall seeing his truck and hearing him and Gledhill arguing late into the night.
The next day, Johnson’s communication, even with his children, stopped entirely. As police search for him, they find his truck ten days later, parked less than a mile from a million-dollar home.
The truck is locked and has gas in the tank. Nothing appears out of place inside, but none of Johnson’s belongings are found. Investigators begin processing the truck for evidence. Neighbors report last seeing the truck in his driveway the day he disappeared.
During the investigation, police discover that Johnson and Gledhill were in the midst of a contentious divorce after ten years of marriage. Gledhill initiated the split in July, with proceedings set to be finalized by the end of October.
She claims she is afraid of Johnson and says he had been violent toward her in the past. Cottonwood Heights police had visited the family’s home several times for domestic disputes.
A temporary restraining order was issued, but Gledhill needed to prove abuse for a permanent one. She provided video and text messages as evidence in her fight for the permanent order. One video showed Johnson calmly cleaning up broken glass from a family photo.
Court Commissioner Russell Minas denied the permanent order, ruling there was no evidence of abuse. He described the relationship as highly dysfunctional, with both parties equally confrontational, and noted that Gledhill did not seem afraid of Johnson. The commissioner suggested the restraining order request was a litigation tactic in the ongoing divorce.
Five days after Johnson was reported missing, Cottonwood Heights police received a call from one of Gledhill’s friends.
The friend claimed that Gledhill had called them before reporting Johnson missing, offering a very different story. According to the friend, Gledhill said she killed her husband and disposed of his body

As Judge John Judge reviewed the motion for a change of venue, he made the tough decision to move the trial to Ada County.
Now, the Idaho State Supreme Court has designated Boise, nearly 300 miles from the crime scene, as the new location. The Supreme Court cited the large jury pool, courtroom accommodations, and less saturation of prejudicial media as factors in their decision.
In accordance with Judge Judge’s wishes, the case was also remanded to Judge Steven Hippler.
Kohberger was secretly transferred to the Ada County Jail on an Idaho State Police plane. The Latah and Ada County sheriffs decided to work with State Police to make the transfer as safe and efficient as possible. The 6-hour drive from Moscow to Boise presented several potential complications, such as a blown tire or road closures.
The 2-hour early morning flight mitigated those concerns and went smoothly, according to Ada County Sheriff’s Captain Ryan Jensen.
Bryan Kohberger is being held in the maximum-security section of the Ada County Jail in one of its 88 solitary cells. He reportedly will not receive any additional security, following the same procedures used in recent high-profile cases. All inmates receive either a mainline, vegan, or kosher meal delivered to their cell three times a day.
Due to overcrowding, with the jail operating at or above 92% capacity, many inmates sleep on the floor. Inmates are allowed to purchase snacks and other small items from the commissary once a week.

Allegations against Sean Combs are growing. An attorney announced that his firm has been contacted by more than 3,285 people claiming to have been victimized by Combs.
After vetting, 120 individuals plan to file civil claims against Combs and others. Among these allegations, 60 are males, 60 are females, and 25 were minors at the time of the reported incidents. The youngest victim was nine years old at the time of the occurrence.
Another lawsuit will be filed by an anonymous woman who claims she was drugged, raped, and impregnated by Combs when she met him overseas. Additionally, attorney Ariel Mitchell-Kidd announced plans to file suit on behalf of a victim who alleges Combs raped her in 2018.
Mitchell-Kidd described the incident, stating that Combs assaulted her client at a small gathering hosted by a mutual friend with ties to the music industry. The client managed to escape and filed a police report the same night, but was initially too afraid to name.

Police in Cleveland are asking for the public's help in finding teen Madison Rich. She has been missing for over 40 days.
The search began the night of August 14. Maddie was at home, but sometime in the early morning hours of August 15, she left. Maddie had left home for a few days in the past, but she had always maintained contact with friends via social media.
At the beginning of this incident, when her mother found Madison gone on the morning of August 15, she was worried but discovered her daughter was still communicating on social media.
For the next few days, Maddie communicated with friends via phone and Snapchat. Her family was able to track her on the 15th, 16th, and 17th. Maddie's mom became increasingly concerned because Maddie has medical issues that require medication, but her medication remains at home.
Every day since Maddie has gone missing, her mom Tracy has been posting to social media about her daughter and, thanks to a local company, has placed two large signs in her front yard. Each sign displays Madison's picture and information.
Lakewood police say when Madison Rich left her westside home in Lakewood, she initially stayed at a friend's home in Cleveland and communicated with other individuals via phone and Snapchat. On August 18th, Maddie left the friend's home, and law enforcement picked up her phone's GPS location in Warrensville Heights, Ohio.
Police tried tracking her phone after August 18 and determined the phone has been rendered inoperable, has been turned off, or the battery has died. Regardless of the reason, the phone has not registered with any cell tower since August 18.
Police have sent out a BOLO for 17-year-old Madison Rich. "Maddie" is 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighs 110 pounds, and has blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a spider web tattoo on her right arm and a mole on the left side of her cheek.
Police are asking the public for help in finding Maddie, hoping to bring her home before her 18th birthday this month.

Carly Gregg is a good student but has had trouble at school. She briefly attends an alternative school after being caught with a knife. Her parents revoke her phone privileges after she breaks their social media rules. Friends grow concerned when they discover Carly has a burner phone and catch her smoking marijuana.
One friend distracts Carly while another informs her mother. Ashley Smylie confronts Carly after school, warning her that her room will be searched when they get home.
Ashley heads to Carly’s room while Carly takes the dogs out. Almost immediately, Ashley finds a box of THC vape pens. She takes the box to her bedroom before returning to continue the search. Carly comes back inside, checks on her mother’s location, and quietly heads to her parents' room. She lifts the mattress and retrieves her mother’s .357 Magnum pistol.
Immediately after the shooting, Carly uses her mother’s phone to text Heath Smylie, “You almost home honey?” Smylie replies that he’ll be home in about an hour. Carly then texts six friends, saying she has an emergency and needs someone to come over. One friend offers to call 911, but Carly declines.
Eventually, a friend agrees to come. When Carly answers the door, she asks the girl, “Are you squeamish around dead bodies?” and then leads her to her mother’s body in the bedroom.
Carly tells her shocked friend, “I put three in my mom, and I have three more waiting for my stepdad when he gets home.” She says he’ll arrive soon and asks the friend to wait in the backyard. Carly opens the garage door, goes back inside, and waits for Heath Smylie. The moment he opens the door, Carly fires at him. Smylie grabs the gun, and Carly fires two more shots during their struggle.
Smylie overpowers her, and Carly runs through the backyard, fleeing the home.

As Diddy sits in jail on federal charges, a twelfth victim has come forward with a lawsuit accusing Sean Combs of drugging and raping her.
Thalia Graves, who was dating a Bad Boy employee, says she accepted a glass of wine from Combs while riding in a car driven by his head of security, Joseph Sherman. Graves states she doesn’t remember passing out, but when she woke up, she was lying face down on a pool table with her hands tied behind her back, as Sean Combs raped her vaginally and anally.
Years later, Graves learned that Combs had filmed the assault and shared the video with others.
At the same time, speculation has arisen over what Sean "Diddy" Combs is eating in jail. Reports suggest he’s avoiding the meals provided by food services, fearing he could be poisoned. Former inmate Larry Levine suggests that Combs might be paranoid, but it’s not unreasonable to think someone could pay to have his food poisoned, potentially causing a heart attack.
Correctional officers don’t earn much, and those implicated in the alleged videos have plenty of money. However, Levine also notes a simpler reason: many prisoners simply dislike the food when they first arrive.

Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old first-grade teacher in Philadelphia, and her longtime boyfriend, Sam Goldberg, had just sent out "save the date" cards for their upcoming wedding.
As a blizzard approached Philadelphia, her school dismissed early. At home with her fiancé, Sam left around 4:45 p.m. to work out at the apartment complex gym. Less than an hour later, when he returned, the door was locked from the inside.
For over 20 minutes, Sam pounded on the door, texted, and called Ellen, but received no response. At 6:33 p.m., he broke down the door and found Ellen on the kitchen floor, stabbed 20 times in the chest, neck, and head. While on the phone with 911, Sam was instructed to perform CPR, but he told them a knife was still lodged in her chest. First responders arrived within minutes, and Ellen was pronounced dead at 6:40 p.m.
Police launched an investigation. Initially, the medical examiner ruled Ellen's death a homicide, but after meeting with police, the ruling was changed to suicide. Since the medical examiner changed the manner of death, Ellen’s parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg, have been fighting to have the ruling reversed.
Now, Guy D'Andrea, a former assistant district attorney who worked on the case, is speaking out.

Polk County Sheriff's deputies respond to a 911 call from a home in Auburndale, Florida. Inside, they find 39-year-old Catherine Griffith lying face down with a kitchen knife in her neck. She is pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators begin canvassing the neighborhood to determine what led to Catherine's death.
The case background begins when, after 20 years of marriage, Catherine Griffith leaves her husband, Charles Griffith. She alleges that Charles abused her and their two sons, Christopher and Collin, for years. Christopher, 20, no longer lives at home, but custody disputes arise over 13-year-old Collin, who goes to live with his father in Oklahoma.
Catherine claims Charles cut off her contact with Collin after he begged her to rescue him, accusing her ex-husband of "holding Collin hostage" since he came out as gay.
Charles, however, contends that Collin no longer wants contact with Catherine because she is "unstable" and that he restricted communication after Catherine sent Collin a photo of a handwritten suicide note. A judge rules that Collin will remain in Oklahoma with his father.
Tensions escalate on Valentine’s Day when Collin calls 911 to report he shot and killed his father. He tells the operator his father attacked him and chased him with a knife through their home. When cornered in a bedroom, Collin says he grabbed a shotgun and shot Charles in self-defense. Investigators, unable to rule out self-defense based on the 911 call and home evidence, send Collin to live with his mother in Florida.
Catherine's social media posts suggest she and Collin are happy together, as they travel to Washington D.C., take a Disney cruise, and celebrate Collin’s early graduation and his first car purchase. However, friends and family describe a more troubled relationship. Collin frequently argues with his mother and struggles with his mental health.
On September 6, Collin leaves after a disagreement over household chores and goes to his grandmother's house.
Despite several attempts to bring Collin home, Catherine confides in a neighbor about her exhaustion in dealing with her son. She texts that she has cleared out Collin’s room and will not allow him back without her permission.
The neighbor also tries to convince Collin to return, but he ignores her. Catherine says she plans to meet Collin at his grandmother’s home the following day as a last-ditch effort to bring him back before he misses a probation meeting, warning that if he doesn't comply, law enforcement will intervene.

It took over a year for Virginia police to make a second arrest in connection with the murders of Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan.
Juliana Peres Magalhães, the au pair caring for Banfield's daughter, faces second-degree murder charges, but only in Joseph Ryan's death. The person indicted in Christine Banfield’s killing is her husband, Brendan Banfield. He faces four counts of aggravated murder and one count of felony firearm use. That day, Banfield told 911 he shot a man who had stabbed his wife.
Investigators say the killings were part of a larger scheme. Peres Magalhães and Brendan Banfield began a romantic relationship in the months leading up to the murders, and allegedly continued the affair afterward. On the day of the murders, Magalhães called 911 to report an emergency.
She hung up during the first call, and more than 10 minutes later, she called again, with Brendan Banfield speaking to the dispatcher. He claimed he shot a man who had stabbed his wife.
According to Peres Magalhães, they found Joseph Ryan holding a knife to Christine Banfield’s throat. She alleged Ryan stabbed Christine Banfield, and Brendan Banfield then shot Ryan. Magalhães also told authorities she fired one shot at Ryan with a second gun.
Prosecutors and police say Brendan Banfield and Juliana Peres Magalhães had been having an affair for months before Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan were killed.

More allegations against Sean Diddy Combs emerging from Combs’ ex-girlfriend, the late Kim Porter.
Porter's friends have leaked nearly 60 pages from the diary Porter kept during her relationship with Combs in a memoir. The author of Kim’s Lost Words claims the pages were provided by a friend of Porter’s, who also claims to have tapes Porter copied from Combs’ files depicting Combs having sex with a male teenage pop star.
The diary pages reveal Combs hits Porter for the first time when she refuses to use a strap-on with him. Porter claims Combs hosts “parties” that are really just orgies, and “everyone wanted in.” Porter details finding Combs’ ‘vault’ full of video tapes of Combs’ encounters, many with young men, stars he had formerly managed at Bad Boy.
The author of the memoir was also provided a photo of Porter using makeup to cover injuries Combs’ caused.
When asked about defending Combs again the allegations that he hit, kicked and dragged women which was caught on camera. The attorney replied, " he's not charged with hitting, kicking and dragging. He's charged with sex trafficking."

After responses to the Body Bags episode about decomposition called "The Smell Of Death," Joseph Scott Morgan realized he left out a couple of things that are important in the world of decomposition.
Whether out in the field trying to solve a homicide, or in the cottage of a loved one who dies of old age in their favorite chair, bodies will decompose. And the rate of decomposition is dependent on many factors. Joseph Scott Morgan takes a close up look at decomposition and what it tells investigators who are looking for answers.

What began as an investigation into the suicide of a popular high school athlete uncovered an international sextortion ring.
On Twitter, Jordan Demay received a message from a user named Dani Roberts, who convinced him to send explicit photos. Moments later, the situation turned dark. "Dani Roberts" demanded money, threatening to send the photos to Jordan’s family and friends if he didn’t comply. Jordan sent all the money he had, but the demands continued. Six hours later, Jordan Demay took his own life.
Days after Jordan’s death, his girlfriend received one of his explicit photos and went to the police. Marquette County Sheriff's detectives, working with the FBI, traced "Dani Roberts'" IP address to Nigeria. Three Nigerian men—Ezekiel Robert and brothers Samuel and Samson Ogoshi—were linked to Jordan’s case and over 100 other victims.
Five U.S. citizens are now accused of facilitating the sextortion scams, handling payments from victims, and transferring the money to Nigeria. Prosecutors allege the defendants laundered nearly $200,000 for the scammers. A jury finds them guilty and sentenced to hard time.

The cause of death for two Kansas mothers who went missing in early April has been revealed.
Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelly disappeared while driving to pick up Butler’s children for a birthday party. Butler had been involved in a years-long custody battle with the children’s father, and Kelly was acting as a court-appointed supervised visitation agent. When the women missed the party and failed to return home as planned, Kelly’s pastor husband and a friend went looking for them.
Just three miles from the women’s destination in Eva, Oklahoma, the men saw law enforcement surrounding Butler’s abandoned blue Kia on the side of the road.
In a court filing, prosecutors revealed that both Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelly were stabbed to death. They allege the women were attacked just outside Butler’s car, and their bodies were transported 8 ½ miles away to a 10-foot-deep hole that had been dug the day before. The defendants reportedly stuffed Butler and Kelly’s bodies into a chest freezer, along with incriminating evidence, then lowered the freezer into the hole and refilled it.
Police stated that the murders were meticulously planned by five suspects, with the ringleader reportedly being the paternal grandmother of Veronica Butler’s children. The suspects are identified as Tifany Adams, 54; Tad Cullum, 43; Cora Twombly, 44; Cole Twombly, 50; and Paul Grice, 31.
Prosecutors now allege that Paul Grice stabbed Butler to death, injuring his hand in the process, while Tad Cullum stabbed Kelly. Investigators have not revealed whether the women were killed simultaneously or one after the other, but only one knife was recovered from the burial site. Accessories for the K-bar knife were found at Tad Cullum’s home.
The court filing details the roles of the five defendants. Prosecutors claim Cole and Cora Twombly acted as lookouts and blocked the road, diverting the women to where Tad Cullum and Paul Grice were waiting. Cullum and Grice then stabbed each of the women to death and changed out of their bloody clothes. The bodies, weapons, and bloody clothes were placed in the chest freezer, which Grice transported to the hole Cullum had dug the day before. Cullum then buried the freezer and the evidence.
The motive is believed to be related to the custody of the children.

Sean Combs is back in the Metropolitan Detention Center after U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter denied his appeal of the remand order.
Magistrate Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky initially denied bail for the rapper on Tuesday, stating that Combs posed a danger and quoting, "I don’t know that you can trust yourself not to harm people."
In the appeal for monitored house arrest, Combs' attorney described the conditions at the Brooklyn facility as "horrific" and "not fit for pre-trial detention."
The defense proposed that Combs live alone at his Florida home, monitored by a 24/7 security team. Combs offered to relinquish access to his cell phone and the internet. The defense also suggested travel restrictions, noting that Combs had already surrendered his passport to his attorneys months ago.
His attorney also holds the passports of Combs' mother and dependent children. The proposed travel limits would confine Combs to the Southern District of New York and the Southern District of Florida, where he resides and has necessary medical appointments, details of which would be submitted under seal.
Attorney Marc Agnifilo’s amended bail package proposed no communication with women outside of direct family members and the mothers of his children, as well as no contact with known grand jury witnesses, specifically referencing "Victim 1," Cassandra Ventura.
The proposal also included the use of a private intelligence agency to monitor Combs 24/7, ensure he has no access to a cell phone or the internet, administer weekly drug tests, and maintain a daily visitors log.
In the end, Judge Andrew Carter, Jr. agreed with Judge Robyn Tarnofsky, stating that "there is no condition or combination of conditions to ensure he will not obstruct justice or tamper with witnesses."
Sean Combs remains in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn until his trial.

Nine-year-old Asha Degree and her brother were sent to bed around 7 p.m., an hour earlier than usual, after the family home lost power.
Their father, Harold, checked on them when he returned from work at midnight. When their mother, Iquilla, went to wake the children, Asha was gone. Iquilla and Harold searched their home frantically for her. Iquilla then knocked on a neighbor’s door and called Harold’s mother and sister. No one had seen Asha.
Harold called 911 at 6:30 a.m. Police arrived 10 minutes later. By 8 a.m., nearly 100 volunteers were searching door-to-door and conducting grid searches. Authorities believe the 4th grader left home just before dawn. Witnesses saw Asha walking along Highway 18 in Shelby, North Carolina, a few miles from her home. A tipster reported that she may have gotten into a car.
More than a year later, Asha's backpack, which she had packed with her favorite outfits, was found at a construction site 30 miles away. That was 24 years ago. The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office has now confirmed that a recent search at 621 Cherryville Road is connected to Asha Degree.
Nearly 50 investigators from the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office, the FBI's Evidence Response Team, and North Carolina SBI agents spent two days at the site with K9s. Several items of interest were seized for testing, including a green four-door sedan with rusted wheel wells, similar to the car the FBI had been seeking.

Hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is behind bars and in court following his arrest late Monday in Manhattan.
A federal grand jury indicted Combs on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution.
Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, stated at a press conference that prosecutors will seek to detain Combs without bail. Williams indicated that the investigation is ongoing, saying, "We are not done," and did not rule out additional charges against Combs or others.
In a detention memo filed with the court, prosecutors described Combs as “a serious risk of flight,” “a significant risk of obstructing justice,” and “a danger to the community.”
The memo details Combs' alleged use of violence, threats, and coercion since at least 2008 to exert control. It claims that Combs and a co-conspirator kidnapped someone at gunpoint on December 22, 2011, to facilitate breaking into another person's residence, identified as Individual-1. Prosecutors expect testimony from “multiple witnesses” and police reports to support the allegations.

Two Rivers Police Chief Ben Miennert described the discovery of the 3-year-old’s body, saying, "The remains were found on private property by someone preparing his land for hunting season. The area was thickly wooded, with heavy underbrush, just north of Manitou. This location is just over three miles northwest of where he was originally reported missing."
He added that the area had been searched multiple times by law enforcement, private searchers, the landowner, aerial teams, and various search and rescue teams. The remains were found just three miles from where the boy disappeared, near a home where his mother, Katrina Baur, used to live.

Attorneys for the two suspects in the murder of Jocelyn Nungaray are calling for a gag order in the case.
Judge Josh Hill ultimately denied the request, but in court documents urged everyone involved to refrain from making extrajudicial comments on the case.
The 12-year-old girl's family heard in harsh detail what happened to Jocelyn. Prosecutors say she fought like a superhero, fighting with her dying breath, leaving visible marks. Johan Jose Rangel Martinez and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, tie her hands behind her back, bind her feet, take off her shirt, and abuse her for hours under a bridge in north Houston.
Even though the police and the prosecutor believe Jocelyn was raped before she was strangled, the suspects are not charged with sexual assault as the rape kit results are still pending. The Harris County District Attorney, Kim Ogg, says they believe the evidence is clear that a sexual assault likely took place, but the defendants are not admitting yet.
However, if the lab tests confirm that 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was raped, the capital murder charge can be upgraded to one where they are death penalty eligible.
In a dramatic court scene, a family member of Jocelyn Nungaray shouts "murderer" at Rangel-Martinez, while another shouts in Spanish, "I hope they kill your children."
It has been reported the suspected murderer has two children.
Currently, both Martinez-Rangel and Peña are charged with capital murder, and a judge has set their bond at $10 million.

Caylee Anthony had been missing for five months before her small body was found near the Anthony home, wrapped in a blanket and placed inside a garbage bag, discarded in a wooded area. Her mother, Casey Anthony, was then charged with first-degree murder.
Since being acquitted by a jury, Anthony has made headlines several times, most recently for dating a married man and allegedly breaking up a 22-year marriage. She met her latest partner, Tyson Ray Rhodes, an engineer for an aerospace company, at a South Florida gym where they both worked out.
Rhodes and his wife of 22 years moved from South Florida to Tennessee earlier this year, and Anthony reportedly followed. The pair have been seen together at an upscale Tennessee apartment complex, getting into Rhodes' truck, both dressed in workout clothes.
One of Anthony's friends told the New York Post that Anthony doesn’t care if he’s married, saying, “All she knows is that he makes her feel good, and she likes that.” Rhodes is reportedly planning to file for divorce.

Several new lawsuits alleging sexual assault have brought Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal battles into double digits, with the latest filed by former "Making the Band" contestant Dawn Richard. The former Danity Kane singer claims the Bad Boy CEO manipulated her with promises to advance her music career in exchange for complying with his abusive demands.
Richard also details Combs' alleged abusive behavior toward his ex-girlfriends, Kim Porter and Cassie Ventura. She recalls seeing Porter leave a recording session in tears, with what appeared to be fresh injuries on her face. Richard also witnessed multiple incidents of violence involving Ventura.
Adria English, a dancer who performed at Combs' famous annual "White Party," has filed her own lawsuit, accusing him of grooming her for sex trafficking.
Combs was recently hit with a $100 million judgment for failing to appear in court for a separate lawsuit. He is now selling his multi-million dollar house in Los Angeles.

PhD student Nicole Virzi remains in custody on charges of homicide, aggravated assault, and endangering the welfare of children.
While visiting friends in Pittsburgh, Virzi cared for 6-week-old twins to give the mother a break. Both boys ended up in the hospital, and one died. EMTs transported Leon Katz and his father to the hospital shortly before midnight, but Nicole Virzi did not stay long.
She was seen returning to her Airbnb just before 1 a.m., struggling to unlock the door. By 5 a.m., Virzi appeared to be preparing to leave town. Security footage captured her making what seemed to be a hasty exit less than five hours later.
Although she was booked for two more nights at the apartment, Virzi appeared to be leaving. She was seen on security video leaving the building at 5:45 a.m. She reached for her phone and made a call while standing on the sidewalk.
At 5:47 a.m., Leon Katz was pronounced dead. Three minutes later, at 5:50 a.m., police arrived at the Airbnb, and two officers approached Virzi on the sidewalk, quickly placing her in a patrol car. She was then transported to police headquarters, where she agreed to questioning without an attorney present.

A request by Bryan Kohberger's defense team for a change of venue has been granted. His attorneys argued that the strong emotions in the community and extensive media coverage would make it impossible to find an impartial jury in Moscow.
The defense also claimed that if Kohberger were acquitted in the town where the murder took place, he could face lynching and riots might erupt. Prosecutors countered, saying any potential bias could be addressed by expanding the pool of potential jurors and carefully vetting them.
However, Judge John Judge ruled in favor of the defense, citing concerns about Kohberger's ability to receive a fair trial in the Latah County courthouse in Moscow.
He referenced the widespread media coverage and statements from public officials implying Kohberger’s guilt. Additionally, the judge noted practical concerns: the courthouse is too small to accommodate the case, and the county sheriff's office lacks the personnel to provide adequate security. The judge did not specify where the trial would be moved.
The Idaho Supreme Court will decide where Kohberger's trial will be held. According to Idaho court rules, judges who approve venue changes can indicate if they wish to remain on the case, but Judge John Judge did not do so, instead granting the motion under a rule that requires a new judge to be assigned.
It remains unclear when the Idaho Supreme Court will assign a new venue or judge, or whether these changes will delay the trial.

The father of the teen boy arrested in the mass shooting at a high school in Winder, Georgia, has also been arrested, held accountable for his son Colt Gray's actions.
Colin Gray faces charges including four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children. These charges stem from allowing his son to possess a weapon.
The FBI first investigated Colt Gray in May 2023 after receiving a tip about a school shooting threat via Discord, a gaming chat platform.
Colin Gray told investigators he had been teaching his son about "firearms and safety" and how to hunt. He stated that if his son had made any threats, he "would be mad as hell and then all the guns would be taken away."
Colt denied making threats. After the investigation, Colin Gray purchased his son an AR-15-style rifle as a gift.

Despite this, Sorokin continues to find success. She secured a deal with Netflix for the rights to her life story and began selling her artwork.

Eight unsealed warrants are giving new insights into the investigation of Sade Robinson’s murder. Newly released surveillance images show Sade meeting Anderson at the Twisted Fisherman for their date. The warrants also reveal police are reviewing employment records and surveillance from Victor’s nightclub. Anderson reportedly worked at Victor’s, a club that one of Sade’s coworkers says they frequented. Investigators are trying to determine how Sade met Maxwell Anderson.
Also, a friend of Anderson’s is now working with law enforcement as a confidential informant. The CI tells investigators in early March, Anderson spoke of a plan to lure Sade Robinson to his home, then force her into the basement at gunpoint, where he would shoot her, then dismember her body and scatter the remains. The CI says Anderson showed him the basement, where Anderson had taped plastic paint protectors to the walls and floor. The CI says there were three saws in the prepped basement.

Disturbing information has emerged in the Madeline Soto murder case as police release interviews with her mother, Jennifer Soto, and details of Maddie’s cause of death.
During Madeline Soto’s autopsy, the medical examiner, Dr. Stephan Giles, raised concerns about her hyoid bone. Dr. Giles noted that the right portion of the bone was not intact, suggesting possible strangulation. The autopsy confirmed that Madeline Soto died from strangulation, and her death was ruled a homicide.
Investigators discovered shocking internet searches on a computer used by Stephan Sterns, including a search for Sevoflurane, a volatile anesthetic used for hypnosis, amnesia, analgesia, akinesia, and autonomic blockade during surgical procedures.
Another released detail revealed that the socks Maddie was wearing were clean, indicating her feet never touched the ground while wearing them. This is significant, as Maddie’s body was found in a wooded area behind a locked fence. Police believe her body was either dropped over the barbed wire fence or carried through the gate before being moved to the location where she was found.

Sarah Boone called 911, telling the operator that she and her boyfriend had been playing around, and she fell asleep.
When she woke up the next morning, Jorge Torres, Jr. was dead inside a suitcase, but that isn't exactly true. Although it's unclear how Boone convinced her 42-year-old boyfriend to get into the suitcase, we do know she zipped him inside and refused to let him out, no matter how much he begged. We know this because Boone recorded the incident on her phone, taunting Torres as he said he couldn't breathe and pleaded to be released.
Boone claims the couple had been drinking a bottle of wine and decided to play hide-and-seek. Court records show Torres had been in the suitcase for about three hours when Boone says she fell asleep, waking up late the next day. She says she then remembered Torres was still in the suitcase, pulled him out, found his body was purple, and attempted CPR. However, she also called her ex-husband before dialing 911.
Boone, 46, is now charged with second-degree murder in Jorge Torres's death, with her trial expected to begin on October 7. One of the main issues in preparing for trial has been Boone's inability to retain an attorney.
Eight attorneys have withdrawn from the case due to difficulties working with her. A judge previously told Boone she would have to represent herself, but a ninth attorney, James Owens, has now stepped in to defend her.
Owens requested a continuance to prepare Boone's defense, but the judge denied the request.

Rex Heuermann was initially arrested and charged in the deaths of the women known in the press as "The Gilgo Four": Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, and Maureen Brainard-Barnes.
A year later, Heuermann faces additional charges of second-degree murder in the killings of two more women, Jessica Taylor and Sandra Castillo, who were found in the same area as the Gilgo Four.
After his arrest, investigators seized several electronic devices from Heuermann, including a laptop containing a secret Microsoft Word document titled "HK2002-04," which they describe as a "blueprint" for the architect's murders.
Even more disturbing, investigators believe that the alleged serial killer Rex Heuermann may have kept his victims alive for several days to inflict pain and torture. They have used the family's calendars to determine when Heuermann was alone in the house while his wife and children were away, comparing those dates to when some of his alleged victims went missing.

Russell and Shirley Dermond live in a beautiful lakefront property, Lake Oconee, Georgia.
The couple is expected at a Kentucky Derby watch party with neighbors, but don’t show up. When the neighbors reach out by phone, the Dermonds don’t answer. Days later, arriving at the Dermond’s home, the neighbor is surprised to find the front door unlocked. The neighbor calls out their names to no reply.
The neighbor looks in the garage to see if the Dermond’s car is there. The neighbor discovers Russell Dermond laying on the garage floor, decapitated. The neighbor calls 911, racing around the house looking for Shirley Dermond, but she is nowhere to be found.
Investigators begin a neighborhood search and beyond for Shirley Dermond, without success. The search lasts for 10 days until two fishermen find her body in lake Oconee. Shirley Dermond has been dumped in the lake with cinder blocks tied to her legs. Her body is recovered about 5 miles from the Dermond home near the dam.

Here are some of our top stories this week. A Las Vegas jury does not buy politician Robert Telles' claims that he is being frame. The former attorney is convicted in the stabbing death of investigative reporter Jeff German.

Jeff German, an investigative reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, was found dead outside his home.
Days later, police released surveillance footage of a potential suspect wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, an orange safety shirt, and black pants, seen walking near the scene. Further investigation revealed that German’s reporting had placed him in conflict with elected Public Administrator Robert Telles.
Earlier, German had reported that Telles created a toxic work environment and was having an extramarital affair with an employee. These allegations seemingly contributed to Telles losing his re-election bid. Investigators searched Telles’ home, towing a red SUV and discovering shoes with apparent blood on them. A straw hat matching the one in the video was also found.
Both items had been cut up in an attempt to destroy evidence, but DNA under German’s fingernails provided police with crucial evidence. Telles was arrested for German’s murder and has now been convicted.

A West Virginia works to make a new home for her children, after a suspicious fire burns the house she inherited from her father. Brittany Horn accepts an offer from her mom to live with her until new plans can be made. Brittany seems to be settling in well and on the afternoon of June 12th, tells her mother that she will be back after spending time with some friend. Brittany leaves the home on foot, wearing a pink shirt, jean shorts, and white Nike sneakers. Her hair is in a braid and she’s carrying a small tan backpack. This is the last time Mary Horn ever sees her daughter.
When Brittany has not returned in 10 days and isn’t answering calls or texts, Mary Horn reports her daughter missing to West Virginia State police. Mary and sons Kevin and Neil spend days putting up fliers with pictures of Brittany. Brittany doesn’t drive, so the family focuses on foot searches starting from her mother’s home. They find no sign of Brittany. As the news of Brittany’s disappearance spreads, the family begins to receive tips from Brittany’s friends.
A friend of Brittany’s claims he gave her a ride to a home in Louisa, Kentucky on June 12th. Brittany’s childhood best friend also comes forward, telling police she received a frantic voicemail from Brittany on June 13th. In the message, Brittany says she’s scared, trying to leave Louisa and get back home.
A year after Brittany’s disappearance, with little progress from the West Virginia State Police, the lead investigator in Brittany’s case, Trooper Corey Maynard, is ambushed while responding to a shooting call in Mingo County. Maynard is shot several times, and dies of his injuries. Brittany’s case has to be reassigned, and a new investigator starts from scratch, losing more precious time searching for Brittany.

Ethan Katz and Savannah Roberts have much to celebrate. It’s not only Father’s Day weekend and Ethan’s birthday weekend, but also the couple’s anniversary.
Savannah recently gave birth to their twin sons, now 6 weeks old. Family friend Nicole Virzi traveled from San Diego to Pittsburgh to visit and lend a helping hand. While caring for the twin boys, Ari and Leon, Nicole Virzi tells the parents she noticed unusual injuries on Ari’s genitals.
Around 6:30 p.m., the new parents take Ari to the hospital, leaving their other son, Leon Katz, in Virzi’s care. Just after 11 p.m., Ethan Katz and Savannah Roberts receive a call from Nicole Virzi, informing them that while she was in the kitchen preparing a bottle for Leon, the baby fell from his bouncer seat and hit his head.
Nicole Virzi tells the 911 dispatcher that Leon fell from a bassinet, hit his head, and is becoming unresponsive. When the police arrive, Virzi tells them she fell asleep with the baby in his bouncer seat. When she wakes up, she goes to the kitchen to prepare a bottle. While she is out of the room, she hears Leon screaming and finds him on the floor with a bump on his head. She tells the police he fell out of his bouncer seat.
Rushed to the hospital, doctors discover Leon Katz has a severe skull fracture on the left side of his head and multiple brain bleeds. The injuries suffered by the 6-week-old baby prove fatal, and he is pronounced dead the next morning at Children’s Hospital.
Police say Virzi has no “plausible explanation” for the severity of Leon’s injuries. Upon examining the bouncer seat, detectives report that it is about 18 inches from the highest point of the seat to the floor.
Doctors inform investigators about the injuries sustained by Leon’s twin brother, Ari. He has small scratches on both sides of his face, two bruises below his belly button, and swelling, bruising, redness, and scratches on his genitals. The doctor who examined the injuries to both boys states they are consistent with child abuse, noting that these injuries were inflicted and not accidental. All of Leon’s injuries are described as “acute."

Prosecutors have already implicated Jasveen Sangha, known as the "Ketamine Queen," who sold the drug involved in Matthew Perry's death.
She is also connected to other customer deaths, and prosecutors believe there are likely more victims given the volume of drugs Sangha sold. Sangha remains in custody without bond in connection with Perry's death. Drug dealer Eric Fleming, who reportedly served as a program director at the Bel-Air rehab Red Door, also had a resident die of an overdose while under his watch.
Additionally, Brooke Mueller’s close connections to suspects Fleming and Sangha have emerged. Mueller spent time with Sangha during one of her rehab stints, and Fleming is reportedly a godfather to one of Mueller’s children.
Mueller is said to have pressured her then-boyfriend William Cooney to join Fleming’s rehab program, where Cooney overdosed and died. Mueller may have introduced Fleming and Sangha to Perry as a means to facilitate his addiction. Federal prosecutors report that Mueller is cooperating with the investigation and is not facing any charges.
Court documents reveal the close ties between Sangha, Fleming, and assistant Kenneth Iwamasa. Iwamasa told Fleming he "cleaned up the scene" by disposing of ketamine vials and syringes and "deleted everything."
Fleming then informed Sangha that he believed they were protected since he never dealt with Perry directly, only through Iwamasa, who would be considered Perry's "enabler." In their communications, Sangha and Fleming refer to Perry using the code name "Chandler."
The doctor directly implicated in Matthew Perry’s ketamine overdose, Dr. Salvador Plasencia, continues to practice at his Calabasas urgent care clinic. The clinic remains open but must post details of Plasencia’s felony case at the front door.
While Plasencia still holds an active medical license, he has surrendered his DEA registration number and is not permitted to prescribe controlled substances. Dr. Mark Chavez faces similar restrictions.

After years in prison, Scott Peterson is speaking out for the first time about the murder of his wife, Laci.
In the Peacock network's "Face To Face with Scott Peterson," he continues to assert that he did not kill the mother of his unborn child and presents an alternative theory. Peterson suggests that the heavily pregnant Laci may have gone across the street to confront thieves.
Peterson says he expected to be home after court until the verdict was read. Responding to allegations that he killed Laci because he didn't want to be married, Peterson states, "That's so offensive, that's so disgusting. I just don't get that argument, and it's absolutely not true." He admits to regretting his infidelity, acknowledging that he was an "a--hole," but insists he did not kill his wife.

Investigators searching for Mamta Bhatt arrived at her home with search warrants and were shocked to find the house in disarray upon entering the front door.
They noticed packed luggage and, in plain view, passports belonging to Mamta's husband, Naresh, and their daughter, Neema. Inside the home, officers used Bluestar Technology, a forensic tool that reveals invisible blood traces at crime scenes, uncovering pools of blood and blood spatter throughout the house. In the master bedroom, the bed had been moved to block access to the closet. After moving the bed, detectives observed a light pink stain on the carpet, which they suspected to be blood.
Following the discovery of the light pink stain in the master bedroom, investigators noticed what appeared to be a blood trail leading from the bedroom to the master bathroom. Using Bluestar technology in the bathroom, detectives were shocked as the entire bathroom floor illuminated with what appeared to be blood.
In the master bathroom, investigators carefully removed the bathtub and confirmed, with the naked eye, what they believed to be blood—not only around the tub area but also trapped in the caulking. Investigators suspect that Naresh Bhatt killed his wife, dragged her body, creating a blood trail, and concealed it in a location that has yet to be discovered.
Although the body has not been found, investigators believe the amount of blood detected in the master bedroom and bathroom is inconsistent with survival. Naresh Bhatt has been charged with murdering his wife and concealing her body.

What began as an investigation into the suicide of a popular high school athlete uncovered an international sextortion ring.
On Twitter, Jordan Demay received a message from a user named Dani Roberts, who convinced him to send explicit photos. Moments later, the situation turned dark. "Dani Roberts" demanded money, threatening to send the photos to Jordan’s family and friends if he didn’t comply. Jordan sent all the money he had, but the demands continued. Six hours later, Jordan Demay took his own life.
Days after Jordan’s death, his girlfriend received one of his explicit photos and went to the police. Marquette County Sheriff's detectives, working with the FBI, traced "Dani Roberts'" IP address to Nigeria. Three Nigerian men—Ezekiel Robert and brothers Samuel and Samson Ogoshi—were linked to Jordan’s case and over 100 other victims.
Five U.S. citizens are now accused of facilitating the sextortion scams, handling payments from victims, and transferring the money to Nigeria. Prosecutors allege the defendants laundered nearly $200,000 for the scammers.

In a significant ruling, the South Carolina Supreme Court will determine whether interference from a court clerk influenced the jury's decision to convict Alex Murdaugh of killing his wife, Maggie, and youngest son, Paul.
Murdaugh's lawyers allege that Becky Hill, the court clerk, attempted to sway the jury to secure a conviction in order to promote a book she is writing about the case, particularly focusing on the trial.
Concerns about potential jury tampering were raised during the trial. Trial Judge Clifton Newman addressed the issue in an in-chambers discussion with defense and prosecution attorneys, expressing concern that court clerk Becky Hill might have had inappropriate contact with at least one juror, who was later dismissed from the trial.
Following the trial, Murdaugh's attorneys sought to have Newman barred from hearing any appeals in the case; however, Newman retired before a decision was made. His replacement, retired Chief Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court, Judge Jean Toal, ultimately rejected the claims of jury tampering.
The South Carolina Supreme Court has now overturned Judge Toal's decision, meaning the state Supreme Court will consider whether Alex Murdaugh should be granted a retrial.

Teenagers have been arrested in connection with the death of a mother of eight, who was gunned down after a confrontation with suspected drug dealers.
Blanca Velasco noticed a blue Toyota sedan parked outside her home for an extended period. Feeling suspicious, her daughter Maria Ramos accompanied Velasco down the driveway to investigate the unfamiliar car. In the street, the men in the car claimed they had come to deliver an “order” to Velasco’s 16-year-old grandson and flashed a marijuana vape pen. The two women argued with the men, prompting the blue Toyota to speed away.
Determined to keep the dealers from returning, the mother and grandmother got into their own car and followed the Toyota for two blocks. Suddenly, the Toyota screeched to a stop, and Blanca Velasco stopped just behind it. Maria got out to approach the car, and before retreating across the street, she pepper-sprayed the occupants.
A man in the backseat, armed with a gun, got out and chased Maria down the street before opening fire. Blanca pulled closer to the Toyota in an attempt to shield her daughter, who was trying to take cover from the gunfire. As Blanca turned back toward the Toyota, the shooter re-entered the vehicle and aimed the loaded gun at her. Panicked, Blanca sped away with the blue Toyota in pursuit.
Blanca eventually lost the Toyota in traffic and returned to search for Maria but couldn’t find her. Then, she spotted her daughter lying on the sidewalk in a pool of blood.

Ballerina and aspiring model Ashley Benefield is standing trial for shooting her then-husband, Doug Benefield, to death. The couple married just 13 days after meeting. They had a child, but their relationship was rocky, with frequent arguments reported between Ashley and Doug Benefield.
Ashley Benefield claims her husband was abusive and volatile. As her pregnancy progressed, she moved in with her mother, denying Doug Benefield access to information about the baby, including her birth.
Ashley Benefield planned to move out. Doug Benefield arrived at Ashley's home with a U-Haul truck to help pack for a move to Maryland. He believed he would be moving with the family but intended to live in a separate home.
Ashley Benefield claims that Doug became angry while loading the truck, "body checked" her twice, hit her hip with the corner of a box, and caused her head to hit the wall. Fearing for her life, Ashley ran to her bedroom and retrieved a gun.
She turned around and saw Doug standing in the doorway. Claiming Doug lunged toward her, Ashley fired the gun, shooting him twice—once in the leg and once in the chest, causing damage to his lungs and severe bleeding. It was determined that Doug was not directly facing Ashley at the time he was killed.

Dueling documentaries are being released about the death of Laci Peterson and her unborn son, Conner.
Netflix is debuting American Murder: Laci Peterson, a three-part docuseries directed by Skye Borgman. The series includes Laci's mother, Sharon Rocha, speaking publicly for the first time since Laci’s tragic death. The second documentary, Face to Face with Scott Peterson, is a new three-part series premiering on Peacock on August 20. In this series, Scott Peterson, who was accused of the murder, speaks for the first time in the 21 years since his arrest.
Peterson reportedly admits to being unfaithful, calling himself a “total a-hole” for having an affair, but continues to deny killing Laci. Peterson was involved with Amber Frey at the time of Laci's disappearance. It was Laci’s stepfather, Ron Grantski, who reported her missing, not her husband. Initially, Scott Peterson told friends he had gone to play golf, but later changed his story to say he went fishing. Peterson has been fighting for years to overturn his conviction.
Although his death sentence was initially overturned, the California Supreme Court upheld his conviction while overturning the death sentence due to the improper dismissal of some jurors based on their views on the death penalty. Peterson remains in prison, sentenced to life without parole, but he is not giving up. In an effort to secure a new trial, Scott Peterson's legal team requested DNA testing on more than a dozen pieces of evidence.
However, after hearing the arguments, the judge ruled that only a single 15.5-inch piece of duct tape found on Laci Peterson's pants during her autopsy would be tested for DNA. The court denied requests to test all other evidence.

The murder trial of former Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles has begun.
A jury of seven men and seven women has been selected. Telles, 47, is accused of stabbing investigative journalist Jeff German outside the reporter's home. German had written several explosive articles for the Las Vegas Review-Journal exposing bullying, harassment, and an inappropriate relationship within Telles' office.
A suspect was caught on surveillance video walking to the home, wearing an orange shirt with reflective stripes, a straw hat, and carrying a duffel bag. Police say that on the morning of the incident, the suspect approached German's home, went to the side of the house, and shortly after, German emerged from the garage door, went to the side of the house, and was ultimately stabbed.
Telles is facing four charges: murder with a deadly weapon, burglary of a motor vehicle, and two counts of destruction of evidence.

Her absence is so out of character that her co-workers start reaching out to find out what's wrong. When they can't reach Mamta, hospital administrators contact the Manassas Park Police, urgently requesting a welfare check.
The Manassas Park Police Department states that Mamta is missing under "involuntary circumstances" and that "this case is active and ongoing.
What we can share at this time is the following: investigators have conducted several follow-ups with neighbors, friends, co-workers, and the husband. They are also utilizing several investigative tools in an attempt to locate Mamta Kafle Bhatt."

When Stacy Hunsucker died, it was initially believed the mother of two had suffered a heart attack.
She had a history of heart issues and used a pacemaker after being hospitalized following the birth of her second daughter. Just two days after her death, her husband, Joshua Hunsucker, began the process of filing for Stacy’s life insurance benefits and started a relationship with a co-worker less than a month after the funeral. Within six months, his new girlfriend moved into the family home. Stacy Hunsucker’s mother found the situation highly suspicious, as did the North Carolina Department of Insurance, which had paid out the life insurance.
Joshua Hunsucker refused an autopsy for his wife, telling doctors he couldn’t bear the thought of her being cut open, and had Stacy’s body cremated. The NCDI later discovered that Stacy was an organ donor and that a vial of her blood had been stored. Tests on the blood revealed Stacy had a lethal amount of tetrahydrozoline, the active ingredient in eye drops, in her bloodstream at the time of her death.
Once this was determined, the findings were turned over to the Gaston County Sheriff’s Office. Fifteen months after Stacy Hunsucker’s death, Joshua Hunsucker was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
While out on bail, Joshua Hunsucker rushed his 10-year-old daughter to the hospital with alarming symptoms, including low blood pressure, a low heart rate, extreme exhaustion, and constricted blood vessels.
Doctors at CaroMont Regional Medical Center were stumped, and the girl was transferred to Levine Children’s Hospital. There, a urine test revealed she had a large amount of THZ, the same drug that killed her mother, in her system. The tests also found traces of an antidepressant found in Joshua Hunsucker’s car.
Joshua Hunsucker has now been arrested on eight new felony charges: four counts each of witness intimidation and obstruction of justice.

Fake German heiress Anna Sorokin conned her way into Manhattan society.
Posing as Anna Delvey, a German heiress, she swindled banks, hotels, and friends out of more than $200,000. She forged checks to get money from banks and charmed people into paying for extravagant meals, and travel.
Sorokin was convicted on a handful of grand larceny and theft of services charges. After serving her time, the 31-year-old was released from prison, now, fighting being deported, but again Sorokin falls on her feet. First, she landed a deal with Netflix for the rights to her life story, then began selling her artwork, and now, Sorokin said her home confinement and social media ban is “more restrictive” than jail.
Now her artwork is making a splash.

On social media, Pastor Jonathon Elwing calls himself a husband, father, child of God, and serving Christ as a minister of his Gospel. So, when the Manatee County Sheriff's office gets a tip from cryptocurrency company "coin base" that the 43-year-old Senior Pastor of Palm View Baptist Church may have used cryptocurrency to buy child pornography, investigators know you can't judge a book by its cover. The Manatee County Sheriff's office secures a search warrant for Jonathon Elwing's home and Palm View Baptist Church.
Elwing gives investigators the passcode for his personal phone. And as the investigator begins to look, Jonathon Elwing admits he sometimes purchases adult pornography from a "third party." He adds it is possible that child pornography would be a part the purchase without his knowledge. Elwing says when he sees the child pornography images or videos, he deletes them.
Still, cops find four of the items located on Elwing's personal cellphone depict Child Sexual Abuse Material while still at the home. Infact, the forensic search of Jonathon Elwing's cell phone reveals images of him sexually battering a child, along with production and possession of 12 images child sexual abuse material. Then, investigators are able to extract hidden files from Elwing's personal cellphone and deputies say he is using a private photo vault app to hide at least 14 pictures of him sexually abusing a two-year-old child.

Shocking video released of the moments leading up to a devastating crash that claimed four lives at a nail salon on Long Island. The horrific footage appears to show the ex-marine visibly disheveled, buying liquor, before getting behind the wheel of his SUV and allegedly turning his vehicle into a deadly battering ram.
Stephen Schwally is seen on video speeding through a parking lot at close to 80-miles-per-hour, almost hitting pedestrians in a crosswalk before charging at full-speed into the Hawaii Nail & Spa. The video appears to show no deceleration from Schwally's vehicle, and the sound of screams can be heard from the salon as customers are seen running out of other businesses to see what is happening.
Inside Hawaii Nail & Salon, four people are dead, 9 others injured, some very seriously. One of those killed is NYPD Officer, Emilia Rennhack. The 30-year-old was assigned to the 102nd precinct in Queens where her husband, Carl Rennhack, is a detective. The Rennhacks were a month away from celebrating their one-year anniversary. Emilia Rennhack was getting her nails done for a friend's upcoming wedding.
41-year-old Yan Xu, and 50-year-old Meizi Zhang both worked at Hawaii Nail & Salon and were also killed in the crash. Yan Xu's family is seeking help in a fundraiser on GoFundMe to raise money for the care of her elderly father and her 12-year-old son, who has polio.
Kenny Chen, the manager of Hawaii Nail & Salon is among the 4 killed when the SUV crashed through the salon at nearly 80 miles per hour. Chen's wife was also at the salon at the time, and she is critically injured. She has already had one surgery with more to come, doctors say her recovery will take at least two years. The Chen's have two children, ages ten and five, and with their father dead and the mother facing multiple surgeries and years of recovery, a GoFundMe is set up by a nephew who says with the salon their only source of income, with Kenny Chen dead and his wife critically injured, they don't know where to turn for help.

After several pre-trial hearings, it seems that everyone connected to the murders of Abigail Williams and Libby German is absolutely certain of who killed the girls, but they cannot agree on who that person is. Richard Allen is set to stand trial on October 15th, but theories that an Odinist cult, sex traffickers, or a now-dead violent man attacked the girls are muddying the waters.
Testimony during the hearings confirms several details about the crime scene. Both Abby and Libby’s throats are cut, and the girls bodies are covered with branches. Libby is found completely nude, and Abby is dressed in both hers and some of Libby’s clothing. Aside from the neck area, the clothing found on Abby is mostly clean.
Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland believes the case against Richard Allen, 51, is air tight, after discovering over 60 recorded confessions by the accused killer in jail phone calls to his wife and mother. McLeland says just over a year ago, Allen began speaking about the murders in very specific detail with almost anyone who would listen. A fellow inmate even testifies that Allen revealed to him that he killed the girls with a box cutter, which Allen later disposed of in a CVS dumpster.
However, defense attorney Bradley Rozzi argues that Allen’s numerous confessions are not valid and should not be allowed into evidence. Rozzi argues that Allen’s mental state is degrading due to near constant solitary confinement, fueling his client’s admissions of guilt. Rozzi goes on to show the details Allen describes are inaccurate. In one recording, Allen tearfully expresses regret for molesting the girls, but their autopsies do not show any signs of rape or sexual abuse.
On the witness stand, Dr. Monica Wala, an Indiana Department of Corrections psychologist treating Richard Allen, claims that she noticed the accused killer spiraling just before the confessions began. Walla testifies that staff is providing Allen anti-psychotic medication at least once a month.
While Special Judge Fran Gull has yet to rule on the admissibility of Richard Allen’s many confessions, testimony did sway her to vacate a “safekeeping” order and remove Allen from the Westville Correctional Facility. Allen will instead be held at the Cass County Jail for the remainder of his pre-trial lock up.

Ellen Greenberg is a first-grade teacher in Philadelphia. At 27-years-old she and longtime boyfriend Sam Goldberg have just sent out "save the date" cards for their upcoming wedding. A blizzard is bearing down on Philadelphia and school has dismissed everyone early. Home with her fiancé, Sam Goldberg leaves around 4:45 pm to work out in the apartment complex gym. When Sam arrives back less than an hour later, the door is locked from the inside.
Over the next 20 plus minutes, Sam pounds on the door, texts, and calls Ellen, but she doesn't reply. He breaks down the door at 6:33 pm. He finds Ellen on the floor of the kitchen, stabbed 20 times in the chest, neck, and head. As he is on the phone with 911, they ask him to perform CPR, and he tells them there is a knife still stuck in her chest. First responders arrive within minutes and Ellen is pronounced dead at 6:40 pm.
Police investigate. Initially, the medical examiner declares Ellen's death as a homicide, but later after meeting with police, that finding is changed to suicide. Ever since the day the medical examiner changed the manner of death from homicide to suicide without any explanation, Ellen Greenberg's parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg, have fought to have the ruling changed. Josh and Sandee Greenberg file a lawsuit against the city of Philadelphia, seeking to have the manner of Ellen's death changed back to homicide, or at least, undetermined, but the suit grinds to a halt when the Commonwealth Court rules against Josh and Sandee Greenberg. In the ruling, the judges acknowledged that the investigation of Ellen Greenberg's death was a “deeply flawed investigation” by the Philadelphia Police, the District Attorney’s Office and the Medical Examiner’s Office. But none of that matters because the court says Josh and Sandee Greenberg don't have standing in the case. Attorney Joseph Podraza says they will take the case to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is now going to hear the Greenberg's case saying it will consider whether “executors and administrators of an estate have standing to challenge an erroneous finding recorded on the decedent’s death certificate where that finding constitutes a bar or material impediment to recovery of victim’s compensation, restitution or for wrongful death, as well as private criminal complaints.”

Rylan Oncale meets his girlfriend, Taliyah Crochet, and two friends just after finishing his first 28-day shift as a deckhand on an oil rig.
The teens enjoy a much-needed night out together on dry land, then pile into Rylan’s Kia Rio to head back to Raceland, taking Highway 3090 inland from the coast.
As Rylan drives through the 1 a.m. darkness, he spots a set of headlights coming towards him. As the car gets closer, Rylan realizes the oncoming Jeep is driving in his lane. Rylan swerves into the left lane to avoid the wrong-way driver, but the Jeep also moves into the left lane and slams into the teens head-on.
The front end of Rylan’s Kia Rio is completely caved in. First responders arrive within minutes, pulling the occupants from the wreckage, but Taliyah is already gone. Rylan is rushed to a hospital, where he also dies of his injuries. The couple’s two friends riding in the back seat also have serious injuries but are stabilized at the hospital.
The Jeep Cherokee is occupied only by driver Axel Flores-Cordoza, who is found completely unharmed despite not wearing a seatbelt. Flores-Cordoza, 18, is unlicensed, has open alcohol in his cupholder, and is clearly drunk.
The teen voluntarily submits to a breath test that results in a BAC just under .14, equivalent to seven times the .02 legal limit in Louisiana for drivers under 21, and nearly twice the limit for drivers of legal drinking age.

Special Judge Frances Gull is hearing arguments on several motions in the Delphi Murders trial of Richard Allen. The judge will consider six topics: Richard Allen's safekeeping, psychologist statements, suppression of some of Richard Allen's previous statements, discovery issues that continue to plague the case, a defense request to dismiss the case, and what both sides can say in front of jurors without specific permission from the judge.
The defense seeks four sanctions. They want the court to inform jurors that the prosecution violated rules by delaying the turnover of exculpatory evidence. They also want the judge to allow the defense to play any video that was "belatedly produced" without state objection. Additionally, the defense aims to prevent the state from rebutting evidence provided by former Rushville police chief Todd Click on May 1, 2023, and they want to bar the prosecution from using any data or information from Liberty German's phone in evidentiary presentations.
The state wants to limit what the defense can mention in front of jurors without prior approval from the judge. Prosecutors have several pages of items they seek to restrict, including personal attacks on the prosecutor and any attempt to introduce evidence of third-party motive that is not relevant or would unfairly prejudice jurors.
This includes mentions of Odinism, ritualistic killings, names of others the defense might claim are connected to the killings, geofencing, references to how discovery was handled, and any mention of an investigation conducted by former Rushville Police Chief Todd Click.

Ballerina and aspiring model Ashley Benefield is standing trial for shooting her then-husband, Doug Benefield, to death. The couple married just 13 days after meeting. They had a child, but their relationship was rocky, with frequent arguments reported between Ashley and Doug Benefield.
Ashley Benefield claims her husband was abusive and volatile. As her pregnancy progressed, she moved in with her mother, denying Doug Benefield access to information about the baby, including her birth.
Ashley Benefield planned to move out. Doug Benefield arrived at Ashley's home with a U-Haul truck to help pack for a move to Maryland. He believed he would be moving with the family but intended to live in a separate home.
Ashley Benefield claims that Doug became angry while loading the truck, "body checked" her twice, hit her hip with the corner of a box, and caused her head to hit the wall. Fearing for her life, Ashley ran to her bedroom and retrieved a gun.
She turned around and saw Doug standing in the doorway. Claiming Doug lunged toward her, Ashley fired the gun, shooting him twice—once in the leg and once in the chest, causing damage to his lungs and severe bleeding. It was determined that Doug was not directly facing Ashley at the time he was killed.

In addition to lawsuits, raids, federal investigations, and a secret grand jury, the only living suspect in Tupac Shakur’s murder now implicates Puff Daddy, Sean Combs, in the September 7, 1996, drive-by shooting.
A recent court filing for Duane “Keefe D” Davis’ upcoming murder trial mentions Puffy 77 times. Las Vegas police confirm, however, that Combs has never been and is not a suspect.
By the late '80s, hip hop is flourishing on the West Coast, with leading acts like Compton’s N.W.A. In the early '90s, East Coast rappers begin to adopt an attitude of superiority and frequently diss West Coast artists in new albums.
When Suge Knight founds Death Row Records in Los Angeles with artists like Dr. Dre, Sean “Puffy” Combs’ NYC Bad Boy Records rises up to meet it with Biggie Smalls.
The East Coast/West Coast rap feud begins with the near-death of Tupac Shakur at Quad Records in Manhattan. Tupac is invited to record when he is attacked by three armed men and shot five times but survives. Vibe magazine reports that Sean Puffy Combs and the Notorious B.I.G. were both at the studio and may have known Shakur was being set up.
Tupac’s belief that Puffy and Big knew about the Quad Records attack adds to the feud between Combs’ East Coast Bad Boy Records and Suge Knight's West Coast Death Row Records.
Tupac Shakur, along with Suge Knight and members of their entourage, come to Vegas to attend the Mike Tyson fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Members of the Southside Compton Crips, including Davis and his nephew Orlando Anderson, are also in attendance at the same event. Orlando Anderson is spotted near an elevator bank inside the MGM and is attacked. Tupac and Suge Knight then leave the MGM to make their way to a post-fight party at a local nightclub.
Keefe D Davis obtains a gun and gets into a white Cadillac along with Terrence Brown, DeAndre Smith, and Orlando Anderson. They pull alongside the black BMW driven by Suge Knight and begin shooting. Tupac Shakur is hit four times in the chest, and Suge Knight is grazed in the head by a bullet fragment. Tupac Shakur dies six days later.
In March 1997, the Notorious B.I.G. is in L.A. to promote his new album, Life After Death. Biggie shoots a video, gives a radio interview, and presents a music award. Scheduled to fly to London, he cancels and stays in L.A. for an after-party, accompanied by a Bad Boy Records entourage including "D-Roc" Butler, Lil' Cease, Gene Deal, "Tone” Jacobs, Stevie J, and Sean “Puffy” Combs.
The after-party is shut down for overcrowding. Not ready to go home, the Bad Boy Records crew plans to attend a house party. The caravan is stopped in traffic when a Chevy Impala driver pulls a gun and opens fire. Biggie is shot four times and dies just six months after Tupac is killed in a similar Vegas drive-by.
A suspect is never identified in Biggie’s murder.

In a motion, Bryan Kohberger attorney Anne Taylor argues that a change of venue is absolutely necessary for the accused quadruple murderer to have a fair trial. Taylor cites “inflammatory, emotion evoking and often misleading, false, and poorly sourced” media coverage that has “utterly corrupted” the Moscow community. Taylor reports that their survey has revealed 70% of locals have already formed a guilty opinion of Kohberger.
Taylor suggests that Kohberger’s trial be moved to Ada County, home to state capital, Boise, 296 miles from Moscow. Taylor argues that Ada County’s population of over 500,000 provides a much more adequate pool, and is Kohberger’s best chance at receiving an impartial jury. Taylor also touches on the logistics Ada County provides, including larger courtrooms and easy access to the state’s largest airport.
Despite Taylor’s push to move Kohberger’s trial to Ada County, it’s ultimately up to the judge to decide if a change of venue is appropriate, and where the trial should move. Taylor could wind up with a much more conservative jury than would have been found in the college town where the crimes took place. Elmore County is home to Mountain Home Air Force Base, and Ada County actually encompasses Gowen Field, an Idaho Air National Guard base.
Prosecutors have until August 12th to challenge the change of venue motion. Defense attorneys will then have a chance to submit another rebuttal. Both sides will make their arguments in front of the judge on August 29th. Anne Taylor plans to call four witnesses including trial consultant, Dr. Bryan Edelman, who was allowed to complete his survey process. Judge Judge will decide if and where the case will move, and whether or not he will go with it. In the case that Judge withdraws, the Supreme Court will choose a new judge to preside over the case.

Sterns complain his bed mat is flat with very little cushion left, his cell is small and filthy, and he claims there are spots on the wall that appear to be bloody fingerprints.
It is emails from Sterns' mother that contains shocking information as she encouraging him to tell the truth.Sterns' mother believes other people are involved in the murder of Maddie and she tells her son to stop protecting these people. Knowing the emails are not private and protected, Sterns mother alludes to a woman being involved in the case saying she is quote "disgusted that she is free and you are not when this is not all your fault."
Some of the emails between Stephan Sterns and his mother seem a bit heavy handed, trying to make it seem as though Sterns is a "stand-up guy" who wouldn't be a "rat", possibly to try and help her son as he prepares to spend the rest of his life behind bars. -Sterns mother says " 'I keep thinking about how you would not ever rat out a friend,' and later adds, "It really made me mad and I felt like you valued them over us when you let them get away with stuff. Don't be doing that again."
Sterns mother says things like, " 'We all know [redacted] was heavily involved in this and I am disgusted that she is free and you are not when this is not all your fault!! 'You need to think about yourself more and her less. She sure isn't thinking of you and how she can help you right now.

On the way to Bridgerton City Park in southern New Jersey, Noema Alavez Perez takes her children, Dulce Maria Alavez, 5, and her 3-year-old brother to get ice cream.
Once at the park, the children play on the swings as Noema is in her car about 30 yards away helping her sister with homework on the phone. Seeing her son crying by the swings, Perez walks toward him to find out what is going on and finds someone has thrown his ice cream on the ground, noticing Dulce is not on the swings with her brother.
No longer concerned about her sons' ice cream, Noema Perez begins scanning the park for Dulce.
Noema Alavez Perez was about 30 yards away from her children playing on swings in the park, and when she couldn't find Dulce for a few minutes, she thought her daughter was hiding, trying to be funny. Dulce has never run off before, but Perez doesn't see her anywhere in the park.
Asking everyone standing near the basketball court if they have seen Dulce Maria Alavez, she hears several stories of the 5-year-old running behind houses with two different men and another child. Living every parent's biggest nightmare, Perez calls 911 to report her daughter missing in the park.

Arriving home from running errands, Christopher Scholtes notices his two-year-old daughter, Parker, is asleep in her car seat. Rather than disturbing her by waking her up to go inside the house, the Arizona father of three leave the toddler in the vehicle with the air conditioner running. Scholtes knows from previous experience with his Acura MDX the air conditioner and vehicle will run for about 30 minutes before shutting off automatically.
Wife, Dr. Erika Scholtes, arrives home just aft 4PM. She sees her 5- and 9-year-old daughters and asks husband, Chris, "where is Parker"? Christopher Scholtes first begins looking in the rooms of the house, then darts outside, where he realizes he left Parker in the Accura. The vehicle is off, the air conditioner is not running, the outside temperature is over 109 degrees and Parker Scholtes is taken out of the car, unresponsive, strapped in her child restraint system.
When first responders arrive at the scene, the outside temperature is over 109 degrees. The toddler is transported to the Banner University Medical Center, the same hospital her mother works as an anesthesiologist. Unable to resuscitate the 2-year-old, Parker Scholtes is pronounced dead at 4:58 p.m.
Investigators locate surveillance footage from a neighbor and watch as Chris Scholtes arrives home at 12:53 PM, not the 2:30 PM time Scholtes told them earlier. Scholtes is seen on video walking into the house alone and is not seen on video coming back out of the house again until after his wife, Dr. Erika Scholtes, arrives home.
Investigators conduct forensic interviews with the other children and find out that their father leaves all three of them in the car alone, regularly. It is the children that tell investigators that during the time Parker was left in the car, their father was distracted "playing his game" and "putting his food away".

Ronald Cummings leaves his two children in the care of his live-in girlfriend while he works into the early morning hours.
Arriving home just after 3 AM, Misty Croslin tells him she awoke to use the restroom and can't find Haleigh, 5, anywhere in the house. Croslin points to a backdoor propped open with a brick and tells Ronald the back door was shut and locked when they went to bed.
Ronald Cummings tells Misty Croslin to call 911. She tells 911 dispatch when she awoke around 3 am to go to the bathroom, she realizes Haleigh is gone and the back door of the trailer is open, and a brick is placed to keep the door propped open. Haleigh is described as a curly headed girl between 40 and 60 pounds wearing pajamas. The dispatcher instructs Misty Croslin and Ronald Cummings not to touch the back door anymore, as K9s are on the way to see if they can pick up Haleigh's scent.
Investigators begin interviewing Misty Croslin as a search team begins looking around the trailer and surrounding areas, including a nearby pond. Ronald Cummings is at work when Haleigh disappears, and he is quickly eliminated as a suspect, but his live-in girlfriend, 17-year-old Misty Croslin, claims she is sleeping in the same room with Haleigh and her little brother when the girl disappears.

Brian Shaffer makes the 30-minute drive from Columbus to celebrate the start of Spring Break with a steak dinner at his father’s house.
Over dinner, Brian excitedly discusses his upcoming vacation to Miami with girlfriend, Alexis Waggoner. According to family, Brian plans to propose. Brian also mentions his plans to go out that evening with his former roommate, William “Clint” Florence.
At 9:00 p.m, Brian Shaffer meets up with Clint Florence at the Ugly Tuna Saloona, a popular college bar on the second floor of the Gateway Building. Around 10:00 PM, Shaffer calls his girlfriend, Alexis Waggoner to check in before he and Florence leave for another bar in the Arena district. Shaffer and Florence each have a shot at several bars before meeting up with Florence’s friend, Meredith Reed, around midnight. The group heads back to the Ugly Tuna in Reed’s car for one last round.
At 1:15 aa.m., Shaffer, Florence, and Reed head up the Gateway Building’s escalator to the Ugly Tuna and partake in one more round of shots while listening to the band. Shaffer gives Florence and Reed some time alone, and chats with two women just outside the bar until 1:55 a.m.
Just 5 minutes later, the bar is closing and masses of patrons head down the escalator, but Florence and Reed can’t find Shaffer. The pair eventually assumes that Shaffer went home, likely walking to his off-campus apartment just six blocks away.
Saturday morning, Alexis Waggoner calls her boyfriend to nail down some final plans for their upcoming vacation. It goes straight to Brian Shaffer’s voicemail, but Waggoner assumes Shaffer is sleeping off the night before. That afternoon, a second call from Waggoner goes to voicemail.
Shaffer isn’t answering his father either. On Sunday, Derek Shaffer heads to his brother’s apartment. Brian’s car is parked outside, and nothing’s amiss inside his apartment, but no Brian. Monday morning, Brian Shaffer doesn’t show at the airport. Randy Shaffer immediately reports his son missing.
Investigators immediately look to surveillance footage at the Gateway building. Shaffer is last seen walking off camera toward the Tuna’s entrance—but Shaffer never comes back down the escalator. Shaffer isn’t caught outside the building at an emergency exit, either. It appears Shaffer never left the building.
The only other exit from the second floor is a service door not meant for public use. The service door leads to an area of the building under construction, where a temporary freight elevator is installed, but climbing down the service ladder would have been tough for a sober person, much less an intoxicated one.
Surveillance cameras from nearby bars also should have spotted Shaffer leaving from that first floor exit. Columbus police search garbage that left the Gateway building, the sewers below, and use dogs to comb a miles-wide radius. There’s no sign of Brian Shaffer.

Skyline Elementary School in northwest Portland Oregon is having their annual science fair so the school is opened about 30-minutes earlier than normal to allow parents and students to see the different projects created by the students. Arriving at Skyline just after 8 a.m., Kyron Horman and his stepmother, Terri Horman, go to his classroom and drop off his coat and backpack. Kyron then shows his stepmother his exhibit called "The Red-Eyed Tree Frog".
The two walk around the classes looking at other students' projects and see many other parents and children who have arrived early for the science fair. Terri Horman volunteers her time helping Kryon's teacher, Kristina Porter, and Porter sees Kyron and Terri Horman in Kyron's classroom that morning and another teacher sees Kyron and Terri in another classroom before the 8:45 a.m. school bell rings
As Terry Horman leaves the school, she sees Kyron walking down a hallway toward his classroom inside Skyline Elementary. Kyron has already placed his bookbag and coat in Miss Porter's classroom when he first arrived for the science fair. Miss Porter starts her class as like every day, then reading group, then recess, then lunch. Around 3pm the children, tired from a busy day, get on the bus to go home.
Kyron Horman's father Kaine is at home getting his daughter ready to meet Kyron's bus after school. When Kyron doesn't get off the bus, Kaine Horman assumes there is confusion and Kyron is waiting to be picked up at school. The bus driver calls the school to see if Kyron is waiting to be picked up and finds out from the front office that Kyron has been marked absent, he hasn't been at school all day.
Investigators build a timeline quickly as they search for Kryon Horman. The 7-year-old arrives at school with his stepmother, Terri Horman, around 8 a.m. for the Science Fair. Kyron and his stepmother see teachers and other parents touring the classes, and Terri Horman says goodbye to Kyron in the hallway that goes toward his classroom at 8:45 a.m. near the south entrance of the school. Investigators say Kyron is seen by one more person around 9 a.m. but they will not identify the individual.

Keith Papini was shocked to find out his wife's kidnapping was actually a hoax.
The 39-year-old mom Sherri Papini was reported missing and told investigators when she was found 22 days later that a pair of Hispanic women kidnapped her at gunpoint. Papini said her kidnappers abused her and then shoved her out of a car.
Papini was emaciated, her hair was cut shorter, and she had cuts and bruises all over her body, but prosecutors said she caused the injuries herself. The case was broken in 2020 when DNA led investigators to Papini’s ex, who told them she had been with him the entire time.
Federal prosecutors charged Papini with 34 counts of mail fraud and one count of making false statements. Papini accepted a plea deal but didn't explain why she created an elaborate kidnapping hoax, although she apologized for her actions. Since her arrest, Papini's husband has started divorce proceedings, and Sherri Papini soon begins her jail sentence.
Now, Sherri Papini, who is in a custody battle with ex-husband, is demanding he pay her $30,000 legal fees. Papini is now living with her new boyfriend in a $755,000 home, and driving a brand-new Jeep SUV. Papini also want more access to her children. Papini says she only makes $1,000 a month and has to pay half of that in rent.
The convicted hoaxer is also demanding Keith Papini, hand of other items from their marital home including ‘Grandpa’s truck, an inflatable water slide, a leaf blower and a smart TV.'

Hillary Ellington, a mother of three, is swept off her feet by Dr. Ben Brown, a renown plastic surgeon.
After just one year dating, the couple marries in June 2022. Their relationship’s described as very “touchy-feely,” but volatile. Ellington has several plastic surgeries performed by her husband. She is set to go under her husband’s knife again for several procedures at the same time.
Dr. Ben Brown prepares for an abdominal scar revision, bilateral arm liposuction, an ear adjustment, and lip injections in his office, while Ellington prepares her own anesthetic. Without supervision, Ellington mixes lidocaine into two IV bags, and takes a ‘handful’ of pills including Valium, Tramadol ], Cefadroxil, Zofran, and Versed.
Before starting the procedures, Brown asks a nurse to give Ellington another dose of Versed, and asks a second nurse to prepare a bowl of undiluted Xylocaine. Brown injects both of Ellington’s self-made IV bags and the Xylocaine into his wife, then gets to work on the abdominal scar revision.
Nurses notice Ellington’s feet twitching. Brown continues on to the liposuction in Ellington’s arms, then injects more Xylocaine into Ellington’s face for the upcoming ear adjustment and lip fillers.
Ellington tells her husband that her vision is blurring, and she ‘sees orange.’ Brown administers more Xylocaine in Ellington’s face, when his wife suddenly starts seizing, and goes into cardiac arrest. Medical assistants ask Brown if they should call 911, and Brown tells them ‘no,’ hopeful to stabilize Ellington on his own. However, there is no oxygen or a defibrillator on hand in the office. Nurses repeatedly ask to call 911, and after 20 minutes of telling staff to wait, Brown finally agrees.
First responders take over CPR and intubate Ellington before she is rushed to Ascension Sacred Heart’s Emergency room in cardiac arrest with suspected lidocaine toxicity. Ellington is stabilized with life support. A week after her admittance, Ellington is removed from life support and her organs are donated.
After Hillary Ellington’s death, several former patients come forward with “horror stories” about their experiences with Dr. Ben Brown. Many report their abdominal wounds opening after stitches were removed, leaving them with gaping holes tunneling down to the muscle wall.
Several patients who received breast implants from Brown were left with huge scars, nerve damage, infections, and many ultimately had the implants removed entirely by new surgeons. Former employees also claim the office used unsanitary cleaning procedures, and unlicensed individuals would often prepare anesthetics.
After a nearly six-month investigation into ‘Restore’ after Hillary Ellington’s death, the Florida Department of Health issues an emergency order restricting Dr. Ben Brown’s medical license. Brown is restricted to only performing surgery under the supervision of a licensed surgeon at a licensed hospital.
A month after the Department of Health’s emergency order, Brown is also criminally charged with second-degree murder by negligence for causing his wife’s death by over medicating her. Brown turns himself in, posts a $50,000 bond, and is released.

Miya Rudd is born in October 2023 to parents Tesla Tucker, 29, and Cage Rudd, 30.
Routine tests show that Miya’s umbilical cord has traces of methamphetamine in it--grounds for removal from her parents’ care. By the time Kentucky’s Social Services made arrangements for Miya to be placed with her 3 older siblings, Tucker and Rudd left the hospital with the baby. For the next six months, the family bounces from home to home, avoiding contact from social services.
In late May, a family member realizes they have not seen baby Miya Rudd in nearly a month. The family member contacts law enforcement, reporting they last saw Miya in April. Social services cannot locate the family, so Kentucky State Police Troopers are sent to perform a welfare check. On June 6, Tesla Tucker and Cage Rudd are tracked down to an Owensboro Super 8 motel.
Inside Tucker and Rudd’s hotel room, Kentucky State police find large amounts of crystal meth, and what is believed to be fentanyl, but no sign of baby Miya Rudd. Placed under arrest for drug violations, Tesla Tucker and Cage Rudd insist that social services removed Miya from their care on May 1st, but social services has no record of a pickup.
The parents suggest Miya may be with her maternal grandparents, who also has custody of her three older siblings, but do not cooperate further with the investigation.
Kentucky State Police head to parents’ Tesla Tucker and Cage Rudd’s last known address in nearby Reynold’s Station, hopeful they will locate Miya Rudd there. Conditions inside the home are deplorable. The home is filthy, and troopers uncover more meth and fentanyl.
Cage Rudd’s father, Ricky Smith, is believed to be operating a drug trafficking scheme out of the home, and is arrested on several drug and weapons charges. There is zero indication that Miya Rudd is living in the Deanfield Church Road home.
With all of Miya Rudd’s direct family members ruled out as having the infant in their care, police turn to a physical search near her parents’ home. While a team cleans the home’s interior of drug residue to protect searchers, cadaver dogs comb through the surrounding woods and several debris-filled ditches. The dogs’ behavior leads investigators to believe they have reason to continue searching nearby. When Rudd’s home is finally safe for investigators and K9s to enter,
Kentucky State Police thoroughly search the building, picking through trash and debris. Under a pile of trash, cops make a grim discovery. An infants’ decomposing body is found wrapped in plastic bags and a blanket. The remains are confirmed to be those of Miya Rudd.

Cal-Fire says the fire was sparked by a failed catalytic converter that expelled hot fragments into dry vegetation. Tyler McCain says he attempted to extinguish the fire, but it spreads so quickly, he calls for help. Cal-Fire says the owner is cited for negligently causing a fire and burning another's land.
In the meantime, the imminent domestic Violence case against Tyler McCain now dismissed. Why? Because Nikki Saelee McCain, the alleged victim and states only witness, is still mysteriously missing. Without Nikki, there is not enough evidence to go forward.
The DA’s office reserves all rights to refile the case in the future. Nikki's sister says Tyler McCain is escorted into court by police through a back door and once charges are dismissed, he leaves through the back door and directly into a police van.

Bonnie and Clyde killed at least nine police officers and four civilians during their 21-month crime spree from 1932 to 1934. The couple were also responsible for several Bank robberies, gas stations hold-ups , and burglaries. They weren't very good thieves, as they rarely got away with more than $80. In this episode of Body Bags, Joseph Scott Morgan will explain how Bonnie Parker suffered so many bullet holes her body had to be plugged to hold embalming fluid, and Dave Mack will take you behind the scenes in the woods with Frank Hamer and Manny Gault as they brought down the murderous "Bonnie and Clyde".

As a Halloween party in an upscale neighborhood gets out of hand, neighbors call 911 saying there are too many cars and drunk teens in the neighborhood.
As Preston Lord and his friends leave the party, one of Lord's friends has a necklace stolen by another group of teens. A fight breaks out when Lord tries to get the necklace back. He is beaten by a group of teens who knock Lord unconscious and kick him while he’s on the ground. Witnesses recount seeing the attackers “hump” Lord and someone in a white suit returning to stomp on Preston Lord, still unconscious in the middle of the street.
As Preston Lord lays unconscious on the pavement, friends determine his heart has stopped and other partygoers perform CPR until police arrive and take over. Lord is taken by ambulance to Chandler Regional Hospital, then transferred to Phoenix Children's in extremely critical condition with a severe brain injury. Preston Lord succumbs to his injuries.
For those involved, Lord’s death is fodder for social media, some trying to figure out how to cash in on the reward money offered for information about what happened.
The suspects discuss the fight over Snapchat, with one of the messages reading, "My mom wants in on the $10K.”
These messages are some of the first real clues police begin to follow. A tipster notifies police that Talan Renner admitted to a friend that he threw the first punch, and Owen Hines told a friend “he only kicked him in the stomach.”
Nearly all the witnesses point out Treston Billey and Dominic Turner as aggressors due to their distinct costumes that night. Turner wore all black, while Billey donned a white suit.
Using the suspects' digital media, investigators find Taylor Sherman, who admits to taking a video of Preston as he is unconscious on the ground and sending it out on Snapchat. Talyn Vigil also sent a message reading, “I hit a kid and this kid fell, hit his head. Then they kicked his head in the ground, then I got word he died so idk.”
The day Preston Lord passes away, Talan Renner’s millionaire father, Travis Renner, goes to work trying to cover up the teen’s involvement. Renner and his business partner allegedly hand out NDAs and push a story that despite Talan Renner having thrown the first punch,
Talyn Vigil was truly to blame for Lord’s death. Renner tells the school his son is being bullied, and whisks Talan away to his $800,000 golf club cabin in Show Low, Arizona for a week while Talan’s hands heal from the fight.
Meanwhile, Talan Renner brags to friends on Snapchat, “I got in a fight, a big group fight, and I accidentally killed a kid. I guess I’m just too strong.”

Two family grapple with individuals who claim to be long-lost missing children.
A woman comes forward claiming to be Cherrie Ann Mahan. The little girl was just an 8-year-old when she went missing, after getting off her school bus, just feet away from her home. A blue or green van is the only clue.
Six-year-old Timmothy James Pitzen was dropped off at school by his father James. Not long after, he was picked up after by his mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, who took the boy on a three-day trip to amusement parks in their region. Fry-Pitzen's body was found in a motel room. The mom had committed suicide, leaving a note says Timmothy was safe, but his father would never see him again.

A new book claims Bryan Kohberger is not a random spree killer, but rather, he had one target in mind the night he allegedly killed four college students in their home off-campus in Moscow, Idaho.
Author Howard Blum claims investigators believe in a non-targeted attack, the killer would have stopped at the first door inside the house, and it would have been instinctive to go into the first rooms after gaining entry, but that isn't what happened. Investigators point to the two surviving roommates, Dylan Mortenson and Bethany Funke, as proof that Kohberger is after a specific target.

Nikki Saelee-McCain last contacts her family with a text message just after midnight.
She texts with her sister, letting her know that she was driving her mother-in-law’s vehicle back to the McCain home near the Win-River Casino. Later that morning, when Saelee-McCain's family texts her again, she did not respond. It's been more than a month now since anyone has seen or heard from Nikki. Her truck, however, was found abandoned in another county.
The Redding Rancheria Tribal Council has allowed for searches for Nikki Saelee McCain to take place on some of their sovereign land, and it is the Redding Rancheria which operates the Win-River casino, that is offering a reward of $10,000 for information that leads to McCain-Saelee’s whereabouts.

Wade Wilson, not the superhero better known as "Deadpool" but Wade Wilson, Tattoo Face Killer. If Wilson has a favorite song it is probably "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash for the line "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die". For Tattoo Face Wade Wilson, using a gun to kill someone is too impersonal. In this episode of Body Bags, Joseph Scott Morgan will explain just how personal it is to strangle the life out of someone with bare hands, and Dave Mack will go behind the tattoos and headlines to find out more about the victims of the vile creature capable of killing two women in a matter of hours, just because he can. Assistant State Attorney Andreas Gardiner in closing argument in murder trial of Wade Wilson: "This case was about killing for the sake of killing. Strangulation is the epitome of life slipping through someone's hands."

The death of a boy, who dies in his first night at Trails Carolina, has been ruled a homicide.
The autopsy report of the 12-year-old says the cause of death is asphyxia due to smothering. Trails Carolina has the troubled youths sleeping in bivies that are placed on top of a thick plastic sheet that is folded up the sides in the form of a canoe.
The mesh in the bivy being torn and replaced with the weather-resistant door secured with an alarm that would alert if someone tries getting out of the bivy. Counselors check on the boy during the night, but can't actually see him because of the door that is being used. The autopsy notes that instructions for the bivy sack readily available online warn against zipping the solid outer layer completely shut.
When counselors try to wake the boy in the morning, they find he is cold and stiff. His body is turned 180 degrees from the entrance and his feet are near the opening, which the autopsy report says would have allowed the waterproof material to fall onto his face and head.
The report also says the boy was placed in this compromised sleeping area by others and did not have the ability to remove himself from the situation with the alarm securing the opening. Standard protocol was deviated from due to using a damaged bivy and securing the outer weather resistant door instead of the inner mesh panel."

The two suspects in the murder of Jocelyn Nungaray have made their first court appearance.
The 12-year-old girl's family heard in harsh detail what happened to Jocelyn. Prosecutors say she fought like a superhero, fighting with her dying breath, leaving visible marks. Johan Jose Rangel Martinez and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, tie her hands behind her back, bind her feet, take off her shirt, and abuse her for hours under a bridge in north Houston.
Even though the police and the prosecutor believe Jocelyn was raped before she was strangled, the suspects are not charged with sexual assault as the rape kit results are still pending. The Harris County District Attorney, Kim Ogg, says they believe the evidence is clear that a sexual assault likely took place, but the defendants are not admitting yet.
However, if the lab tests confirm that 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was raped, the capital murder charge can be upgraded to one where they are death penalty eligible.
In a dramatic court scene, a family member of Jocelyn Nungaray shouts "murderer" at Rangel-Martinez, while another shouts in Spanish, "I hope they kill your children."
It has been reported the suspected murderer has two children.
Currently, both Martinez-Rangel and Peña are charged with capital murder, and a judge has set their bond at $10 million.

Billie Jean Jackson is driving past the creek near 400 West Rankin Road and sees what she thinks might be a mannequin.
The image was lifelike enough to make her turn around and check it out for sure. Getting a good look, Jackson realizes, it is not a mannequin and calls 911.
On Sunday night, Jocelyn Nungaray's mother, Alexis reminds her not to stay up too late as Jocelyn is going to work with her mother in the morning. Alexis tells Jocelyn goodnight at 10 pm and turns in for the night herself. A little later when she is certain her mother is asleep, Jocelyn sneaks out of the house and goes to a local convenience store.
It is around midnight when she calls her 13-year-old boyfriend, who says he hears Jocelyn talking to some adults before he hangs up the phone. After talking to her boyfriend, Jocelyn is seen on camera at a local 7-Eleven convenience store.
In the pictures, Jocelyn Nungaray is seen with two other people, both adults. It's possibly the same people with whom her boyfriend overheard Jocelyn talking.
Around the same time Billie Jean Jackson is calling 911, Alexis Nungaray is preparing to wake up her 5-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter, Jocelyn Nungaray. Finding Jocelyn gone, Alexis reportedly pings her daughter’s cell phone location, which traces the phone to a creek near 400 West Rankin Road
Alexis Nungaray arrives at the spot where her daughter Jocelyn's phone pings and sees police tape is up and police are canvassing the area.
Alexis Nungaray tells police her daughter is missing, and she is there because this is where her phone last pinged. Officers take down information from Alexis, but it still takes an hour before she receives the call that a body has been found, and it is possibly Jocelyn.

Courtney Clenney, the Only Fans model accused of murdering her boyfriend, is not the only Clenney charged in connection to the death of Christian Obumseli. Clenney's parents are facing computer crime charges. Prosecutors say the family illegally access a laptop, overlooked by police, belonging to Obumseli. Defense attorneys counter that the laptop may have been a shared device.
A police warrant states thatClenney and her parents discussed potential passwords to hack into the laptop using as many as a dozen.
In the meantime Clenney is still facing murder charges. No trial date has been set. Clenney was arrested on charges that she stabbed her boyfriend to death at a Miami high-rise. Christian Obumseli, 27, died inside the couple's apartment.
An attorney for Clenney says that the 25-year-old “was a victim of physical, emotional, and mental abuse at the hands of Obumseli and killed him in self-defense. However in a newly-released video, recorded by Obumseli's phone Courtney Clenney is heard viciously berating her boyfriend, calling him a racist slur, and more.
Friends of the couple said it was unimaginable that Obumseli could have been violent toward Clenney, saying while they had seen Clenney hit Obumseli, they had never seen him hit her.
Three recordings, running between one and seven minutes long were provided in the discovery phase of the murder case against Clenney.

Laralee Spear, 15, in her freshman year at DeLand High School, is over the moon after learning she has made the Junior Varsity cheer squad.
Many other hobbies keep her busy--piano lessons, church choir practice, and volunteering with the Keyettes, a school service organization. Spear’s daily routine is to walk home from her bus stop on the corner of Deerfoot Rd and South Spring Garden. The ½ mile walk usually takes about 10 minutes.
Laralee always meets her mother at home by 3:30 p.m., even if she stops to watch the neighbor’s horses. When Laralee is half an hour late, Barbara Spear calls 911 in a panic, reporting her daughter missing.
Just 16 minutes after Barbara Spear was reported missing, Volusia County Sheriff investigators are on the ground searching for the teen. Air One, the Sheriff’s helicopter, is already in the air, and scanning the neighborhood for Laralee.
At 5:35 p.m., the pilot spots a body, behind an abandoned home. A quarter mile from the Spear home, officers on the ground find Laralee Spear lying crumpled on a concrete slab behind the burned-out home, shot to death.
Laralee Spear is found lying in a pool of her blood, shot in the back of the head three times. Spear’s hands had been tied together and much of her clothing was missing or torn away. Spear has bruising across her body, leading investigators to believe she was beaten. It appears Spear’s attacker attempted to assault her sexually, and the teen fought back in her final moments. Remnants of Spear’s clothing are found scattered along Deerfoot Road in the days after her death.
Detectives believe Laralee only made it about 200 yards from the bus stop when she was attacked and abducted. They estimate Laralee was dead within 25 minutes of getting off the bus. Officers from the Ormond Beach Police Department join Volusia County Sheriffs to canvass Spear’s neighborhood for a week.
Over 1,000 tips are collected in the month following Laralee’s murder, and police learn a group of people were hanging out and shooting guns at the burned-down home where the body is found.
Neighbors also report seeing a dark-colored truck near the crime scene.
Who killed Laralee?

Emotions are running high for the loved ones of Rachel Morin after police locate and arrest Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez.
The suspect in Rachel Morin's brutal murder is found casually sitting in a Tulsa, Oklahoma bar. During the arrest, Hernandez initially lies to authorities about his true identity and denies any knowledge of the attack on a 9-year-old little girl in Los Angeles and the murder of Morin.
The Morin family and investigators strongly believe that the two known crimes are not the only ones Victor Hernandez committed while in the U.S. The attack on a little girl and her mother in L.A. came just two months after Hernandez allegedly murdered a woman in his native El Salvador.
Rachel Morin’s body was found nearly five months later, and another 10 months passed before Hernandez’s arrest. More than a year of Hernandez’s time in the U.S. is still unaccounted for.
While there is a sense of closure, Morin’s sister, Rebekah, says it also feels like "day one all over again."
Matt McMahon, the father of Morin’s eldest daughter, says the Ma and Pa trail feels like it ‘belongs to Rachel again,’ and is even more grateful for the arrest as their daughter, Faye, is now expecting her own little girl later this year.
McMahon describes the news as bittersweet, knowing how excited Rachel Morin would be to learn she was going to be a grandmother.

Chelsea Grimm attends Pace University in New York to study psychology. She graduates with a master's degree in social work. Putting her degree to good use, she works for the New York City Department of Education as a social worker. Chelsea Grimm makes a change, heading to the West Coast, and settling in Ocean Beach, California.
Chelsea making plans to meet her parents at a wedding in Connecticut, but when she can't find an airline that will let her fly with her pet Bearded Dragon, Chelsea decides to make it a road trip, using the travel to take photos of forgotten soldiers and other special people at cemeteries across the country.
On September 24, Chelsea Grimm leaves San Diego and heads for Connecticut.
Three days into her cross-country trip, Grimm arrives in Phoenix, Arizona, where she meets her sister and a friend. Grimm makes plans to meet the same friend for lunch the next day but cancels the plans. On that same day, she stops at a motel in Seligman, about 160 miles north of Phoenix. The clerk says Grimm seems confused as she tries to book a room, exchanging Euros instead of US Currency. She mentions wanting to be "off-grid" and asks if there are any places in town that would exchange Euros.
From a motel in Seligman, Arizona, Chelsea Grimm calls her parents and tells them she isn't going to make it to Connecticut on time for the wedding, the trip is taking too long. She tells them she is going to camp out nearby for a couple of days and head back home to San Diego.
The next day, September 28, Grimm leaves the motel and heads 40 miles east to a war memorial cemetery in Williams, Arizona. Williams police are alerted to a suspicious vehicle and when the officer checks, he finds Chelsea Grimm seated in her car, crying.
She tells the officer she gets emotional taking photos for a lost soldier project and doesn't want to drive while crying. The officer spends nearly 9 minutes with Grimm and asks if she has a hotel room for the night. She says she is going to camp and the officer directs her not to camp in the city, but she can sleep at Love's Truck Stop nearby, he tells her she won't be bothered there
Two days after talking to the police officer in Williams, Arizona, Grimm finds herself 19 miles west of Williams Ash Fork, Arizona. She is camping out in her Ford Focus SUV. A local woodcutter sees Grimm and talks to her for a few minutes, saying she isn't in distress or need of help. It is September 30. The woodcutter in Ash Fork, Arizona, is the last person to see Chelsea Grimm.
Grimm's parents report her missing on October 4. The next day, her 2019 White Ford Escape SUV is found abandoned on the side of the road with two flat tires in the middle of Forest Service Road 6 in the Kaibad National Forest, northeast of Ash Fork.
Inside the vehicle, all of Chelsea Grimm's personal belongings such as her wallet, driver's license, clothes, sleeping bag, and her bearded dragon are gone. Police say there is no evidence of foul play
The area where Grimm's locked SUV is found is an area popular with hunters and loggers. An extensive search is conducted of a 3-mile radius around where her car is discovered. Her family believes that due to the intensity of the search, if Chelsea is in the area, she will be found.
Hunters and loggers in the area also strongly believe she is not there. Chelsea Grimm's family hires a private investigator, Kelly Townsend, to help with the case.

The day Madeline Soto vanished, her mother, Jennifer, writes in a sworn statement that she saw her daughter getting ready for school that morning.
In a later interview, Jennifer Soto instead says she heard someone in the kitchen. She assumes it's Madeline, but that isn't the only change in the mother's story. Jennifer finally tells investigators she last saw her 13-year-old daughter the night before, when she sent Madeline to another bedroom with Stephan Sterns.
According to Mom, this is a common arrangement when she needs to get a good night's sleep.
Early in the investigation, Stephan Sterns was a person of interest. The day Madeline Soto is reported missing, investigators allegedly found 1,700 sexually explicit images on Sterns's cell phone. Investigators have also said they found images and video on Sterns’ phone showing he molested her for years.
Initially, Stephan Sterns tells investigators he drops the girl off near Hunter's Creek Middle School. However, around that same time, investigators say a license plate reader detected Sterns's car miles away from the school. Using data from license plate readers and surveillance video, investigators track Sterns's car as it travels east from Kissimmee toward St. Cloud and Old Hickory Tree Road, where Madeline Soto's body is found lying face down near bamboo trees covered in debris.
Investigators obtain surveillance video from the morning Madeline Soto is reported missing a trash compactor where a tread from Stephan Sterns's car is found as well as items belonging to Madeline Soto, like her black backpack. Sterns is caught on video throwing these objects in the trash compactor. Minutes later, Sterns is caught on surveillance video at 7:36 a.m. driving away from the Kissimmee, Florida neighborhood with a female in the front passenger seat.
Investigators believe the female seen at 7:36 a.m. in the surveillance video in the front passenger seat of Stephan Sterns's vehicle is Madeline Soto's dead body propped up and buckled into the seat to appear as a living person, but closer inspection of the video shows her head leaning toward her shoulder with her mouth open. Sterns is caught on surveillance video again at 8:19 am when he is seen entering the front security gate of the neighborhood with a female, in the same position as the surveillance video.
Stephan Sterns's car is seen on surveillance footage again, this time turning into the parking garage of Holiday Inn Club Vacations in Orlando. He drives to the top level of the parking garage and gets out of his car around 9:42 a.m. A man matching Sterns's description is seen allegedly opening the trunk, walking around to the passenger seat, opening the door, and carrying what appears to be a "limp female body" to the trunk of the vehicle. At 9:44 a.m. the vehicle is seen on surveillance video leaving the parking garage and driving away.
The Florida State Attorney's office release more than 900 pages of information showing how investigators, using surveillance videos and license plate readers tracked Stephan Sterns leaving an apartment complex in Kissimmee on the morning of February 26, and driving to an area of St. Cloud where Madeline Soto's body is found four days later. It remains unclear as to how Madeline Soto died.
The Orange-Osceola State Attorney’s Office announced that it filed 60 counts against Sterns, including:
Stephan Sterns will face the death penalty if convicted of the murder of Madeline Soto.

The man suspected in the bludgeoning death of Rachel Morin is no longer on the run.
Harford Sheriff Jeff Gahler announced the arrest of Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, an undocumented migrant from El Salvador. Police say the 23-year-old is suspected of a murder in his home country and the rape and assault of a 9-year-old California girl and her mother.
Morin's body was found along the Ma & Pa Trail 10 months ago. DNA found at the crime scene matched a home invasion in Los Angeles, leading to the suspect's arrest in Oklahoma.

Jesse Lee Calhoun has been indicted on second-degree murder, charged in the death of 24-year-old Charity Lynn Perry, 31-year-old Bridget Leann Webster, and 32-year-old Joanna Speaks.
Prosecutors say they’re still investigating the deaths of at least two additional women, Kristin Smith and Ashley Real. He’s also facing three charges of second-degree abuse of a corpse.
All three women were found dead under suspicious circumstances in wooded or secluded areas around Portland last year.
Detectives have linked the murders to a man granted early release from his sentence. Jesse Lee Calhoun, 38, was granted early release after he joined a group of inmates fighting devastating wildfires. Calhoun had been sentenced to four years in prison for felonies including burglary, unauthorized possession of a stolen vehicle, and injuring a police officer and a police dog as they attempted to arrest him.
Calhoun's clemency has been revoked, and he is back behind bars.

Boston PD Officer John O’Keefe, 46, finds love with financial analyst Karen Read, 44, who lectures at Bently University while also working for Fidelity Investments.
Read moves into O’Keefe’s home during their two-year relationship, but it’s not always smooth sailing for the couple. O’Keefe’s niece and nephew hear loud arguments between Read and their uncle with increasing frequency. Friends who join the couple on a trip to Aruba report a blow-out fight between Read and O’Keefe during the vacation.
On a snowy January evening, John O’Keefe and girlfriend, Karen Read have dinner in downtown Canton. Around 10:45 the couple walks down the street to Waterfall Bar and Grille to meet up with friends. The group has several rounds at the bar until its midnight closing.
As the group shuffles outside, Brian and Nicole Albert invite the group back to their home, where their son is celebrating his 23rd birthday with friends. John O’Keefe and Karen Read plan to join them. With a cocktail glass still in his hand, O’Keefe gets into Read’s car with her.
On the way to Brian Albert’s after party, Karen Read and John O’Keefe are locked in an intense argument. The couple sits in Read’s car outside the Albert’s home fighting, and they decide to part ways for the evening. Karen Read lets John O’Keefe out of the car, and heads back to their house, expecting her boyfriend to find his own way home. Just before 5 AM, Karen Read wakes up and quickly realizes boyfriend, John O’Keefe isn’t in their home or answering his phone.
Read paces down a hallway while she speaks with Jennifer McCabe and O’Keefe’s friend Kerry Roberts. O’Keefe’s niece overhears Read ask, ‘What if I did something? What if a snowplow hit him?’ Read tells Roberts, ‘I don't remember anything from last night, we drank so much I don't remember anything.’
How did John O'Keefe die?

Alec Baldwin announces a new family reality show that will air on TLC. The video teaser offers a glimpse into the Baldwin family, with seven young children and a marriage with a 25-year age gap between the couple. The announcement is just in time for the July start of Baldwin's manslaughter trial.
Baldwin’s attorneys have planned their defense around convicted armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed not testifying against Alec Baldwin at trial. If the defense can prevent Gutierrez-Reed from testifying, Baldwin's team can use her own words and conviction to lay the blame for the shooting squarely on her shoulders.
Baldwin's team also claims that anything Gutierrez-Reed would offer is already available in her previous statements, and giving her immunity from prosecution and the freedom to claim whatever she wants could be highly prejudicial to their case.
Meanwhile, Alec Baldwin is facing a second lawsuit involving the movie "Rust". Baldwin is accused of assault and battery, infliction of emotional distress, and the lawsuit accuses an even larger group of crew members of negligence. The lawsuit filed by Halyna Hutchins’ parents and sister, as well as the script supervisor on the movie, Mamie Mitchell, who was standing next to Halyna Hutchins when she was shot. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, already found guilty of involuntary manslaughter as the armorer on the movie set, is also named in this lawsuit.
Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents Hutchins' parents and sister in a civil suit against Baldwin, claims the new reality show is a calculated public relations move to influence the jury pool in New Mexico, making Baldwin out to be a compassionate family man.

Geoffrey Hauptman kisses his wife goodbye as he leaves for work.
Moments later, he calls Betsy Hauptman telling her to lock the doors and check on the children because someone’s passed out in the front yard. As he calls 911, Betsy Hauptman goes from room to room, locating 5 of 6 children. Timothy is missing.
Betsy Hauptman meets her husband at the front door, hysterically explaining she can’t find Timothy. With tears in his eyes, Geoffrey Hauptman shakes his head at his wife, and she screams. The body in the front yard is Timothy, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Security cameras show Timothy sitting in the family car in the driveway for two hours the night before, frantically scrolling on his cellphone. Sumter, South Carolina PD, collected Timothy’s phone and his school Chromebook.
Just before his death, Timothy changed the passcode on his phone, so detectives focused on the task of unlocking it. Betsy Hauptman tells Detective Kelsey Wade that Timothy mainly communicated over Snapchat, and Wade issues a subpoena for the teen’s account. Eleven weeks go by with no answers, despite Hauptman calling twice a week. Wade finally informs Hauptman investigators that they are submitting a second Snapchat subpoena, along with a subpoena for Timothy’s Cash App activity.
A month later, Sumter PD unearthed dozens of suicide notes addressed to family and friends. They also find an extensive call and text record with an unsaved phone number with a New York area code. The texts included links to a second Snapchat account Timothy used.
Messages on that account reveal Timothy sent a stranger $35 a day to prevent them from posting an explicit photo of him online. One of Timothy’s last messages begged the stranger to stop, reading, “Please, I’m just a child.”

Seraya Aung Harmon's mother, Samara Harmon, joins us on today's "Crime Stories with Nancy Grace."
Samara Harmon and Aaron Aung welcome a daughter, Seraya in early May 2022. While the parents split shortly after Seraya’s birth, they share custody of the happy toddler with a big personality. When Seraya is about 18 months old, Aung proposes to his new girlfriend, Nadia Cole.
On June 3, Samara Harmon drives to the exchange location to pick up daughter Seraya from her father, Aaron Aung. When Aung doesn’t arrive 30 minutes later, he starts to worry. Aung isn’t answering her calls or texts. Harmon reaches out to Aung’s parents, who inform her that Aung planned to take Seraya camping at Flathead Lake, Montana for the week.
Harmon discovers Aung’s fiancé is also unaccounted for, and immediately reports her daughter missing. Aaron Aung’s fiancé, Nadia Cole, sets out to join her family for a planned trip to Italy, to celebrate her recent graduation from Washington State University.
Aung stays behind to pick up his daughter Seraya from Pullman for their week together. The Cole family makes it to their gate at Seattle’s SeaTac airport, and Nadia leaves her luggage with them while she runs to the restroom. She never returns.
Just after 3 p.m., surveillance video shows Cole hastily leaving the airport, getting on a light rail train to downtown Seattle, and appearing distressed.

Brazilian Au Pair, Juliana Peres Magalhaes and her charge leave the Banfields' Fairfax County, Virginia home but turn around when Peres Magalhaes realizes she forgot their bagged lunches.
Arriving at the house, the au pair sees a car she doesn't recognize and a man she doesn't know entering the house. Confused, she calls her employer, Brendan Banfield, who tells her to stay in the car, that he will be right there. Banfield is at the house in minutes, and they enter the house together. The au pair takes her 4-year-old charge to the basement. Brendan Banfield goes upstairs to find his wife.
Banfield finds his wife, Christine, nude, and a man he doesn't know, holding a knife to her throat. Banfield tells the man to put the knife down, but he starts stabbing the 37-year-old mother. Brendan Banfield carries a gun as an IRS Special Agent, and he draws his service revolver shooting the man in the head. The intruder is wounded and down on the ground. Banfield calls for Peres Magalhaes telling her to get his personal gun, a Glock, out of the bathroom safe. At Banfield's direction, shoots Joseph Ryan in the heart as he is lying on the ground.
Police say it appeared that Christine Banfield had been posted on an adult fetish website., but investigators say they believe it was all a ruse. Someone else created the profile on the Adult Fetish website, pretending to be Christine Banfield.
In fact, investigators believe Ryan's murder was part of an elaborate plan to kill Christine Banfield so her husband, Brendan, and their Brazilian live-in Au Pair, could be together. Investigators found pictures of Banfield and the au pair together in the Banfield bedroom, and Peres Magalhaes' clothes were found hanging in Banfield's closet, not her own.

Missy Bevers arrives at Creekside Church at 4:16 am and begins setting up for her 5 am fitness class.
She doesn't realize that someone else is in the building. Video surveillance shows a person dressed in full police SWAT tactical gear walking through the halls of the church with an unusual gait while clutching a hammer.
Shortly before 5 am, one of Bevers' students arrives, finding Bevers's body inside the church. Bevers has puncture wounds to her head and chest. The student calls 911. In minutes, police and rescue arrive, and Missy Bevers is pronounced dead on the scene.
Creekside church has surveillance cameras inside and out of their property. Still, in a tough break for cops, the outside cameras don't work. Police rule out Missy Bevers's husband, Brandon, as he was on an annual fishing trip at the time of the murder.
However, Missy Bevers's death investigation now includes a vehicle of interest that police say was captured on surveillance cameras at a nearby business just before the murder. It is a 2010-2012 Nissan Altima, silver or light color, with an oval sticker on its bumper.

It's an early Tuesday morning in East Nashville.A family is just waking up for the day, and everyone is getting ready for work and sending their daughter off to school.
Debra Tuders leaves for work at 6:30 a.m. Thirty minutes later, Bo Tuders wakes Tabitha up for school. Tabithia's siblings are still sleeping. Neighbors see Tabitha walking to the bus stop as usual. That afternoon, Tabitha isn't on the bus home.
Her parents think that Tabitha may have missed the bus, walked, or maybe was with a friend, but by 5 p.m., panic sets in. Bo and Debra Tuders drive to Bailey Middle School, where a teacher tells them Tabitha was not in class that day.
Nashville Police, canvassing the area, receive several tips. Some neighbors report seeing Tabitha at the bus stop on 14th and Boscobel Street but then see her cross 14th and head down Boscobel. A neighborhood boy says he saw Tabitha enter a red car at the corner of 15th Street.
He described the driver as a 30 to 40-year-old Black male. Tracker dogs trace Tabitha's scent on a route similar to the boy's account. Jamie Tuders' ex-boyfriend matched that description and drove a red car, but police placed him elsewhere that morning. The tracker dogs lose Tabitha's scent in an alleyway. Friends say Tabitha would never have gone in the alley alone.
Tabitha's clothes, toiletries, and money are left behind. Tabitha did not take her backpack to school that day; she only carried her signed report card. On Tabitha's desk at home, police find several 'business' cards with Tabitha's name, phone number, and address, alongside a picture of Winne the Pooh.
Her parents did not know Tabitha had the cards and could not explain why she may have had them. Investigators also discover a note reading 'T.D.T - n – M.T.L.' Detectives believe them to be initials, TDT for Tabitha Danielle Tuders, but MTL has never been identified.

Tampa PD responds to reports of shoplifting at a Nordstrom department store, speaking with teen suspects who say they’re dating. Alyssa Zinger tells cops her birthday is January 15th, 2009, putting her age at 14 years old. When officers try to verify her identity, they can only find a 22-year-old Alyssa Zinger, born in 2001. When confronted with that inconsistency, Zinger says she ‘has a half-sister with the same name.’ The store declines to press charges and both suspects are free to go.
After the shoplifting incident, Tampa PD combs through government, school, and employment records to determine Alyssa Zinger, 14, and the 22-year-old half sister with the same name... are the same person. A teen boy then reports he has had a sexual relationship with Zinger for over 5 months. The victim says he met Zinger on Snapchat, where she introduced herself as a homeschooled 14-year-old. The boy says they had sex multiple times, and she sent him explicit photos and videos. He says he ended the relationship when he learned her true age.
Alyssa Zinger is charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious battery and five counts of lewd and lascivious molestation. She posts bond on all seven charges and moves in with her parents as the case proceeds. Soon after, 4 more victims under the age of 15 come forward, claiming Zinger sent them videos of other minors engaged in sexual intercourse. One victim says Zinger spoke about having sex with other teens. Zinger is arrested for a second time, and charged with two additional counts each of lewd and lascivious battery and molestation, two counts of child pornography, and cyber sexual harassment. Zinger is denied bond and access to electronics while behind bars.

Kickboxer and media influencer Andrew Tate charged with rape, human trafficking and more. He's now facing three sex abuse legal battles in two countries.
Tate and his brother were taken into custody in Romania, where they live. Prosecutors say the Tates and two associates formed an organized criminal group to groom and sexually traffick women in the United States, the United Kingdom, as well as Romania.
The indictment names seven women who say the Tate brothers recruited them with false promises, including love and marriage, but instead took them to buildings where they intimidated them, watched over them constantly, forcing them into debt and pornography.

Investigators discover her mother, Tamara Banks, has been feeding the 4-year-old a mixture of Mountain Dew and baby formula through a bottle long after she should have been weaned off the bottle, causing her teeth to rot.
Her teeth are almost all rotted, but no record can be found of her parents taking her to a dentist.

Dozens of Diddy's former associates, employees, and Bad Boy musicians have accused the American rapper of "abusive and violent" behavior, all detailed in a recent Rolling Stone report. The probe comes in response to previously unreleased CCTV footage of Diddy—real name Sean Combs—kicking his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura that surfaced online last week.
CNN was able to get security footage that appeared to show Combs shoving Ventura to the ground before trying to drag her, kick her, and hurl a vase at her. Since then, Combs has expressed regret and said, "I take full responsibility for my actions in that video."
Over the previous six months, Rolling Stone conducted interviews with "dozens of former friends, acquaintances, employees, Bad Boy artists, and industry insiders." Just fifty of the 300 individuals contacted agreed to speak with the magazine.
According Rolling Stone, several women who went to Howard University with Combs said they had "seen signs of a controlling and abusive personality decades ago.". Additionally, unnamed students told the magazine that there were alleged "previously unreported incidents involving unwanted touching and fits of rage." Some said that Combs had a fiery temper during his entire time in college.
Numerous artists that signed with Bad Boy were also contacted by Rolling Stone, but "many declined" to be interviewed. One former Bad Boy artist told the magazine, "I don’t have anything nice to say when it comes to my time with Bad Boy. It was not a good experience and one I really don’t want to relive."
Combs was given a series of questions as part of the Rolling Stone investigation, but he chose not to answer them. In response, his attorney stated, "Mr. Combs cannot comment on settled litigation, will not comment on pending litigation, and cannot address every allegation picked up by the press from any source, no matter how unreliable."
Combs strongly denies the allegations and has not been charged or accused by federal prosecutors of a crime. It's also unclear whether charges against anyone are forthcoming.

Four young girls head to an AMC in their hometown of Braintree, Mass. It’s a Saturday matinee showing of the movie “IF.” The four girls, ages 9-17, have the theater all to themselves, but just minutes into the movie, an unknown man wearing a trench coat and sporting long, blonde hair approaches in the darkened theater. He walks into the aisle behind the girls and, without saying a word, begins a bloody stabbing spree, knifing all four girls.
The first victim, closest to the assailant, is bent down in her seat, reaching for something. She is stabbed in the back. He then stabs the girl next to her in the chest. He slashes the third across her arm and stabs the fourth in an unspecified location. The attacker then runs from the theater. While never uttering a word, he laughs throughout the attack.
About an hour after the movie theater attack, Jared Ravizza pulls into a Plymouth McDonald’s drive-through. Ravizza gets out of the car to urinate and then places his order. Ravizza tries to snatch his bag from an employee at the window before paying.
The 28-year-old employee doesn’t let go of the bag, and Ravizza stabs him in the arms with a large kitchen knife. Ravizza then parks his car, enters the McDonald’s, and stabs a second employee, a 21-year-old woman. Ravizza takes off again in his Porsche SUV.
Plymouth PD uses surveillance footage and witness statements to identify the black Porsche Macan from the drive-through as registered to Jared Ravizza. State police officers spot the Porsche and flip on blue lights, but Ravizza takes off, leading an erratic chase. In the nearby town of Sandwich, Ravizza crashes the car, which explodes into flames.

Madi Brooks, 19, leaves Reggie’s Bar with four young men who offer to give her a ride home.
A few blocks from the bar, the driver pulls over and starts to video as the two men in the backseat ‘have sex’ with an extremely intoxicated Brooks. Afterward, Brooks cannot tell the men her address and, according to them, insists on getting out of the car. Just before 3 a.m., a Lyft driver strikes something in the road. It’s Madi Brooks. She dies of her injuries at a hospital.
The four men have been charged in this case, three of them with third-degree rape, and one is charged as a principal to third-degree rape, which means he was present for the alleged crime, but did nothing to stop it.
Reportedly, there are concerns that District Judge Gail Horne Ray will not remain neutral while presiding over the trial of Madison Brooks’ four alleged rapists. Last year, Judge Ray reduced an accused rapist’s bail without allowing prosecutors to argue against the decision.
Just last month, Ray moved to overturn a 1972 rape conviction when asked to consider allowing the convict parole. Her son, Nelson Taylor Jr., is also a convicted serial rapist.

Just after returning to classes at the University of Georgia for the spring semester, Tara Baker heads to the law library for a study session. At a quarter to 10, Baker calls her friend from the library to make sure she got home safe, mentioning she's heading home shortly. The next morning, Baker misses her 9:30 class.
In the mid-morning hours of January 19th, Athens-Clarke County firefighters are called to an apartment fire at 160 Fawn Drive. Firefighters break down a locked door to access the unit, and find a fire had broken out in the bedroom and burned through the roof. Among the rubble, fire-fighters discover the body of a young woman, later identified as first-year law student Tara Louise Baker.
Police do not release Baker’s cause of death, but tell the public they believe she was murdered, the attacker a stranger to Baker. Investigators consider the possibility that Baker’s murder is connected to a Christmas day arson at a complex just a block from Baker’s. No one was home when someone entered the unit and set fire to a pile of clothes. Police also look at Baker’s boyfriend, but he passes a polygraph test and his alibi is confirmed. Investigators focus on a theory that a stranger broke into Baker’s apartment. Police reveal that Baker was beaten, stabbed, strangled, and potentially sexually assaulted.

Mother of five, Crystal Rogers is last seen July 3 by her live-in boyfriend, Brooks Houck. Crystal Rogers mother, Sherry Ballard, reports her missing on July 5. Later that day, Crystal Rogers red Chevy Malibu is found abandoned on the Bluegrass Parkway. The car has a flat tire, but Rogers' keys, phone and purse are still inside. 16-months later, Crystal Rogers is still missing and her father, Sherry Ballard's husband, Tommy Ballard, is murdered in the early morning hours as he prepares to go hunting on his own property with his 12-year-old grandson.
Ballard is shot from an undetermined distance, but his property backs up against the Bluegrass Parkway. It's a fast getaway in either direction for a gunman. On this episode of Body Bags, Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack explore the disappearance of Crystal Rogers and the murder of her dad, Tommy Ballard. Plus, Joseph Scott Morgan explains how prosecutors can prove Crystal Rogers was murdered, even though they haven't found her body.

Cohasset man Brian Walshe has been indicted for the murder of his wife, Ana Walshe, who vanished in early January after a New Year's Eve party.
Prosecutors say the 48-year-old husband dismembered Ana Walshe and discarded her body in multiple trash cans in the area. Police have recovered blood-stained items from the home, including a hacksaw.
Walshe has pleaded 'not guilty' to first-degree murder, but he's headed to jail anyway.
A Massachusetts federal judge sentenced Brian Walshe to three years in prison for art fraud. He was ordered to serve 37 months in prison. He'll have three years of supervised release after, if he is not serving time for the murder of his wife.

While Rebecca Grossman awaits sentencing for mowing down Mark and Jacob Iskander while the Iskander family walked through a crosswalk, Grossman has allegedly been misusing her jail phone privileges.
Prosecutors say the recorded calls document potential criminal conspiracies, such as requests to disclose protected discovery, discussion of various attempts to interfere with witnesses and their testimony, and attempts to tamper with the jury and influence a judge from behind bars.
In one call, Grossman tells her husband to call Scott Erickson, her ex-lover and former major league pitcher, and "tell him to get on a video and that he needs to confess.” In another, Grossman is said to have told her 19-year-old daughter, Alexis, to release the body-camera video footage from the deputy on the scene even though that footage has been sealed. Her daughter responds, "I will."
Grossman's private investigator, Paul Stuckey, also allegedly contacted at least two jurors from Grossman's trial. The DA argues that the only way Stuckey could have found out juror names would be to access a pre-dealing jury list, which amounts to both jury tampering and illegally having jurors' personal information.
The Iskander family also accuses Grossman of "playing games" in court, by hiring a new defense attorney, James Spertus, currently representing Diana Teran from the Los Angeles District Attorney's office. Teran is charged with 11 felonies for allegedly misusing confidential law enforcement records.
Before she was charged, Teran oversaw the prosecutors in Grossman's second-degree murder trial. Because of this, the DA reassigned the prosecutors from the case due to a potential conflict of interest.
The DA's office backtracked on the move days later, reinstating the original prosecutors on the case. At a hearing addressing Spertus' conflict of interest, Judge Joseph Brandolino says he sees no sign of conflict and Grossman’s sentencing hearing will go on as scheduled on June 10. Grossman is expected back in court in early June to address Spertus' recent filing for a new trial.

Newly filed court documents reveal what investigators did to find the bodies of Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelley after they go missing en route to Butler's son's birthday party.
OSBI, the FBI, and the Texas County Sheriff’s Department follow cell phone pings to find a horrific scene, a 10-foot-deep hole, eight and a half miles from Butler's abandoned car, in a pasture on farmland leased by Tad Cullum.
Documents reveal investigators uncover a chest freezer, at the bottom of the hole. Once the freezer is open the search for Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelley ends. Their bodies are inside the freezer along with personal items that do not belong to either of them.
Among the items are the handle of a saw, a taser, and bloody clothes including two pairs of Wrangler Blue Jeans, a black belt, and two sweatshirts. Other items found at the burial site include duct tape with possible blood, a taser/flashlight, electrical cording and tape, two ratchet straps, and a black K-Bar knife in sheath, with possible blood on it.
Inside Cora and Cole Twombly's truck, cops find a Taurus 380 handgun with a full magazine of hollow point ammunition and a live round in the chamber, stun guns, cat litter used for liquid absorption of trace evidence, biological/DNA evidence, digital photos, special scans, and all other evidence of the crime of murder.
We also learn from the new documents that Paul Grice was seen with bandages on his hand in the days after the moms' disappearance and asking incriminating questions after their bodies were recovered. Grice asked a friend how long the state lab would take to process DNA evidence and how long DNA would last in the dirt.
Grice says he is concerned about his DNA being in the hole that Butler and Kelley were found in because he had been to the Twombly residence. Grice also asks if he knows how to get a "guy and his family" into Mexico.

On Saturday evening, a large group of family members are wrapping up their day at Looking Glass Valley Park in Watertown Township, a suburb of Lansing, Michigan. The group of 16 packs up and starts the short walk back to their grandparents’ home down South Waucousta Rd. Just before 6:30 p.m., an oncoming car plows through the family. Instead of offering aid, the driver takes off.
Within minutes of the crash, at least 8 ambulances arrive. Two people die of their injuries,13 people are transported to the hospital via ambulance, more than half of them children. Three minutes after the crash, Clinton County Sheriffs notice a car with significant damage to the front passenger side swerving off the road and over the center line. The driver identifies herself as Ashley Monroe.
Officers immediately suspect alcohol may be a factor in the crash. A breathalyzer test performed at the Clinton County Jail revealed Monroe had a blood alcohol content of .183, over twice the legal limit.
The two victims who died at the scene of the crash have been identified as Jonathan Esch, 30, and Daniel Harris, 42. The surviving victims include six women, one still in critical condition, and eight children, including two six-year-olds and three toddlers.
The alleged drunk driver, Ashley Monroe, is now facing eleven charges related to the crash. Monroe is charged with 8 counts of DUI causing serious injury or death, and 3 counts of leaving the scene of a damaging or deadly crash.
At Monroe’s arraignment, her defense attorney reveals she is pregnant with her 5th child. Through a public defender, Monroe pleads not guilty to all counts. Monroe remains behind bars at the Clinton County Jail, held on a $1,000,000 bond.

In November of last year, R&B singer Cassie filed an explosive lawsuit, accusing her ex, Sean "Diddy" Combs of abuse, rape, and other sexual misconduct. Combs settled the suit for an undisclosed amount just a day after Cassie Ventura filed. Combs said the settlement was in no way an admission of wrongdoing, "We have decided to resolve this matter amicably, I wish Cassie and her family all the best." 5 more lawsuits followed Ventura's, and federal authorities raided the rapper's homes based on the allegations of sex trafficking they contained.
Now, a 2016 video from the Century City InterContinental hotel has surfaced, showing Combs brutally beating Ventura as she tried to leave the hotel without him. Ventura is seen leaving the room with her bags, and moments later Combs follows her into the hallway, wearing only a towel. Combs throws Ventura to the ground, kicks her, and drags her back to the room by her hoodie.
Faced with proof of his abuse, Combs quickly changed his tune and took to social media with an apology video. Many have called the video completely disingenuous, and Combs' legal team is said to be bracing for the possibility of more footage of bad behavior coming to light.

Sammy Teusch, 10, is the baby of the Teusch family. Now in fourth grade, Sammy loves playing outside with his brothers, his beloved dog Daisy, and best friend, Judah, who lives next door. Wherever Sammy goes, people comment on his big smile that pushes his glasses up his cheeks.
While friends and family know Sammy Teusch as smart, funny, charming, and empathetic, several children at school focus on Sammy’s physical appearance. They pick on Sammy for his glasses and crooked teeth in elementary school and the bullying only intensifies in intermediate school.
On the bus home, Sammy is attacked and beaten with his own iPad. The bullies hit Sammy over the head with the tablet several times, and the boy arrives home with broken glasses, a black eye, and scratches on his face and neck. Days later, Sammy is cornered in the bathroom and beaten up again—with more threats of violence when he returns to school on Monday.
Parents, Sam and Nichole Teusch call Greenfield-Central 20 times to raise concerns about Sammy’s wellbeing and physical safety. They also receive several calls. Teachers report that Sammy is fearful at school and hides under his desk and in closets. The school says they are working to resolve the bullying, but nothing gets better for Sammy.
On a quiet Sunday morning, Sam Teusch cooks a pancake and egg breakfast for his wife and four children. Teusch goes to wake Sammy up to eat, but he instead finds the little boy unresponsive and not breathing. Sam Teusch calls for help and performs CPR on Sammy, but Sammy Teusch dies. The 10-year-old took his own life.

Marlen Ochoa-Lopez was murdered before her baby was cut out of her body, according to police. The teen mom went missing as she tried to pick up baby clothes from someone she met online in a motherhood forum. Now the mother/daughter duo who killed Ochoa-Lopez will spend decades behind bars.
Clarisa Figueroa, 51, told a judge she understood that she would be in jail for the rest of her life, as the judge sentenced her to 50 years behind bars. Both Figueroa and her daughter, Desiree Figueroa, were charged with first-degree murder for the brutal slaying of Ochoa-Lopez.
Prosecutors said they lured Ochoa-Lopez to their home on April 23, 2019, with the promise of baby supplies. The duo then strangled Ochoa-Lopez when she arrived and cut the baby from her womb, in an attempt to keep the infant as their own.
Two months later, the infant, Yovanny Lopez, passed away from brain damage, along with complications from a prolapsed umbilical cord and placenta.
In January, Desiree Figueroa pleaded guilty to murder and took a plea deal, which allowed her to receive 30 years in prison in exchange for testimony against her mother.

Kouri Richins defense team has a strategy to argue every piece of evidence the prosecution has, in an effort to have the case against her dismissed. The prosecutors are working hard to not let that happen during the preliminary hearing. As both sides are preparing to provide the court with their evidence, the prosecution says they need at least three full days to present their case for the judge. Noting the amount of time that will be needed to conduct the hearing, the judge moved the case to June 18 to June 21. The Kouri Richins defense will be to stand up to each piece of evidence and have the case dismissed before ever getting to trial
The judge allows prosecutors to introduce evidence that Kouri looked into getting a divorce and had a law firm on retainer. After receiving a consultation. Kouri allegedly tells her bother that she ended the consultation because she didn't want half of everything and wants to walk away clean and free. However, the court may reasonably infer the opposite is true as it appears Kouri Richins didn't want half of everything. Prosecutors say she wanted everything and to that end, planned to cause Eric Richins' death
The investigation into the death of Eric Richins show text messages between Kouri Richins and her mother, Lisa Darden, show great disdain for Eric on Lisa Darden's part. Investigators include in their report that right before her significant other dies, Lisa Darden is added to her will. The detective writes, based on Lisa Darden’s proximity to her partner’s suspicious overdose death, and her relationship with Kouri, it is possible she was involved in planning and orchestrating Eric’s death."

Ella Adler joins a group of twelve for wakeboarding on Biscayne Bay over Mother’s Day weekend.
The girls take turns on two wakeboards towed behind the boat. Ella ends up in the water. Still wearing a life vest, she makes it back over to the board and clings to it as she’s towed back to the yacht. While Ella’s still in the water, another boat gets dangerously close and shows no sign of stopping.
Moments later, the boat strikes Ella, forcing her underneath. When Ella floats back up to the surface, she’s limp and there’s blood in the water. Ella dies before anyone can get her to shore.
The boat that hit Ella never slowed down, despite a legal requirement to stop, call law enforcement, and give aid. Maritime lawyers have contested claims the boat operator may not have realized they hit someone, saying anyone aboard would have felt the hit. A witness saw a fishing boat pass the gray yacht, and heard screams and distress calls over the yacht’s radio.
They describe the boat as a light blue center console with dark blue bottom paint and three to four outboard engines.

As family and friends hold a beachside service for Mica Miller, John Paul Miller delivers a eulogy for his estranged wife at Solid Rock at Market Common.
Miller seems to cry as he talks about how he tried to raise Mica from the dead. He claims he laid down with his wife about 4 times and when he took a dog tag necklace Mica had given him to the mall to get it fixed, he saw a woman wearing "Mica's dress" with the same tattoo and hairstyle, he calls out "Mica!" but it was her sister, thought he raised Mica from the dead.
Since the first days of the investigation into Miller's death, the Robeson County Sheriff's Office has been in contact with the FBI and the United States Attorney's Office for assistance.
Based on information gathered during the investigation and jurisdiction reasons, the Sheriff's office has now requested assistance from both agencies. Mica Miller's body is found in Robeson County, North Carolina, but Mica lives in South Carolina and purchases the gun near her home in Myrtle Beach.

Mercedes Vega is seen on video at 9:15 p.m. leaving her apartment complex in Tempe, Arizona.
In the video Vega is seen walking with her face looking down as if she was on Facetime. Mercedes Vegas is texting multiple people on the night of April 16. And looking at those messages as a whole, she is either going to meet friends for Sushi, meet other friends at "Dave&Busters," or, as she indicates in another text, go to work.
In one of her text messages Mercedes Vega says, "I just feel weird, like maybe I shouldn't go anywhere."
In the early morning hours of April 17, the Harquahala Fire Department responds to a report of a burning car on the “north hand shoulder” of the I-10 highway, west of Tonopah, Arizona. Firefighters find a 2018 Chevrolet Malibu on fire.
Once the fire is put out, a deceased human body is found in the rear passenger seat.
At 1:15 a.m. Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies are called to a scene to assist the Arizona Department of Public Safety on a death investigation. Investigators talk to the man who called law enforcement about the car on fire. Robert Miller tells officials he saw a person walking outside the vehicle.
Using fingerprints, investigators can identify the woman found inside the burning Malibu as 22-year-old Mercedes Vega. The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu in which her body was found, does not belong to Vega. The car has a Salvage Title vehicle registered to State Farm Insurance and the burning car is 60 miles from Vega's Tempe, Arizona apartment. Mercedes' 2019, White, Dodge Charger is found illegally parked near First Street and Farmer Avenue, 1.5 miles south of where she lives.
According to her mother, the car is parked while running with the keys in the ignition so it would be stolen or towed. The MCSO has video surveillance of Vega's Charger from the time it is left parked on the road until the time police recover it. Vega didn't park it where it was found.
Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s report states the cause of death was “conflagration, blunt force and ballistic injuries," and the Manner of Death is Homicide. The death report also states she has blunt force trauma and gunshot injuries that contributed to her death, and an odor of bleach within the larynx.
The report notes the presence of gloves and bleach found in front of the car and lighter fluid in the backseat.

Couch remembers getting an alert from the University and immediately reaching out to friends still in Moscow. Couch’s last text to Mogen before learning of her death was “Are you OK?” Couch followed up in a group chat with friends, “Has anyone heard from Maddie?” Couch says the thought that the murders could have happened earlier is unsettling, commenting that ‘you never know how long someone is watching your house.’
We also learn a friend of an officer working on the Bryan Kohberger murder investigation says Kohberger was very careful in the days before his arrest. The source says the cop followed Kohberger in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, and observed him wearing plastic gloves while picking up groceries at a local Giant store. The cop also said that Kohberger’s cellphone pings matched the movements of the victims for weeks before the murders.

Carlee Russell calls 911, telling the operator that she sees a toddler walking down the side of an Alabama freeway.
When police arrive, there's no toddler and Russell is gone. Her car, however, is still parked along the highway. The door is open and the car is running. Forty-nine hours later, Russell returns home, telling investigators in a brief interview that she was abducted by a man with orange hair and a woman.
As the investigation continued, police find some “really strange” internet searches in the hours before she vanished, such as the cutoff age for an AMBER Alert.
Now Russell admits via a statement from her lawyer that there was no toddler or abduction.
In a Jefferson County, Ala., circuit court Russell ordered to pay nearly $18,000 in restitution and sentenced to 12 months of supervised probation, community service and evidence of continued mental health counseling. Judge David Carpenter suspended Russell's two six-month sentences, saying jail time would be a "waste of government resources."

Suzanne Morphew's death has been ruled a homicide by undetermined means. The toxicology report shows several drugs found in her system at the time of her death: Butorphanol, a synthetic opioid pain-killer, Azaperone, a sedative commonly used as a tranquilizer for pigs and elephants, and medetomidine, a sedative that can decrease an animal's heart rate, commonly used by veterinarians.
According to a 2021 affidavit, Barry Morphew admitted to police that he frequently used BAM and other tranquilizers to sedate deer to remove antlers for his hunting business. However, BAM is the commonly used abbreviation for Butophanol, Azaperaone, and Medetomidine. Azaperone is used as a sedative for Elephants, Rhinoceros, and Giraffes, while Medetomidine facilitates immobilization of large carnivores and great apes.
Police say in the recovery of Susanne Morphew's body, her favorite tee-shirt was pulled from the location. And in the past few days, it's reported that husband Barry Morphew quietly slipped into an invite-only memorial for his murdered wife.

As volunteer searchers try to locate all of teen girl Sade Robinson’s remains, a gruesome discovery... this time, at a remote, tree-lined stretch of beach along Lake Michigan.
Just after 7:30 a.m., someone walking along a South Milwaukee water line discovered an arm and torso. The remains washed ashore about a quarter mile away from a nearby apartment complex. Residents watched as officers carried a body bag down the cliff to recover an arm and torso. Sade's father has joined in the search for his daughter's remains.
We have also learned that inside the unfinished basement that police have called a “sex dungeon,” it’s in disarray. A large hole has been dug in the concrete floor. A drain in the floor is stuffed with towels, the drain cover is marked with evidence numbers. A door without a handle leads to a dark closet with several tables, a chair, and exercise equipment.
The mattress of a queen bedframe is flipped on its side, and bedding is tossed over a table in the corner of the room.

Chris Gregor carried his son, Corey, into the hospital the day he died. According to a Nurse Practitioner at Southern Ocean, Corey's arms and legs dangling with little visible movement. His head rested on his father's shoulder.
The nurse practitioner said he could tell something was wrong, but there was no urgency coming from the parent. Corey died later that day.

Micciolo writes 'Corey came upstairs upset and almost crying because he was trying to ask you about playing football in high school and you smacked the ball out of his hand and walked out,' Gregor replies, "I smacked the ball out of his hands and he didn't say a word to me."
Gregor then texts that if hitting the ball out of the six-year-old's hand 'makes him cry, that maybe he needs to be a little tougher because that's soft tissue.' After Gregor makes another comment about Corey being “over-emotional."

In 1960, Lady Bird Lake was built by the city of Austin. The river-like reservoir was created as a cooling pond for Austin's then-new city power plant.
The 416-acre lake is now primarily used for recreation, but many in the area are now concerned is it the hunting ground for a killer. There have been multiple deaths reported since 2022. Two more reported in past days.
Even though police have given no indication there are signs of foul play, social media has lit up with speculation. According to the San Antonio Current, rumors of a serial killer hunting young men and dumping their bodies in Lady Bird Lake ran rampant last April. That's when Police recovered the bodies of Jason John, Clifton Axtell, Jonathon Honey, and Christopher Hays-Clark — all between the ages of 20 and 40 and all recovered from Lady Bird Lake.
Reegan Aparicio says she has no doubts that her longtime boyfriend Chris Hays-Clark was placed in Lady Bird Lake. The dental nurse says despite police assurances that there was no foul play in Hays-Clark's death, she believes he was already dead when he went into the water.
Despite family concerns, Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon says, "Nothing has come to light that would indicate that there is a serial killer in Austin."

Kristel Candelario is off on a 10-day whirlwind of adventure and romance.
Ring door video from a neighbor shows Candelario hauling her suitcase to a car as she heads out of town, and she is posting pictures from the beginning of her trip about her 'best life' adventure.
Back at home in Cleveland, Ohio, in the late night, early morning hours, the same Ring Doorbell camera that catches Candelario loading her suitcase into a car before she leaves her home, now is picking up the faint sounds of a crying baby.
When Kristel Candelario leaves on her 10-day vacation, she places her 16-month-old baby, Jailyn, into a pack-n-play pen with a couple of bottles of milk and some crackers, nothing else. Jailyn is left alone, in a playpen, for 10 days straight. She dies from starvation and dehydration; she is hungry and thirsty.

Christopher Gregor, now on trial, is charged in the death of his 6-year-old son Corey Micciolo.
Gregor took his son to the hospital saying he put his son down for a nap because he was sleepy and nauseous. When Corey woke up he was stumbling, slurring his words, and having trouble breathing. Corey died at the hospital.
Surveillance video inside the gym facility at the complex where Gregor lived shows Corey running on a treadmill while Gregor turns up the speed and incline of the machine until the 6-year-old can’t keep up and falls off. Gregor lifts the boy off the ground by his shirt, holding Corey over the running treadmill.
Corey’s feet slide out from under him several times as he tries to get his footing, and Gregor appears to bite Corey on the back of the head. Corey eventually starts running again and falls from the treadmill five more times before Gregor shuts it off and they leave together.
Corey’s mother, Breanna Micciolo testified that she feared for Corey’s life. Documentation shows she made more than 100 calls and emails to the Department of Child Protection reporting abuse. Pediatrician Dr. Nancy Deacon who treated Corey days before his death, testified to what she observed.
Deacon listed a blue-grey bruise on his left cheek, a large yellow-green bruise on his left shoulder, another large yellow-green bruise on his left inner arm, and a blue bruise present on his elbow. Beyond over 12 bruises that covered Corey Micciolo's body, the doctor noted two areas on the right side of his chest, she called it two areas of hyper-pigmented skin, meaning the wound was healing but pigment had not yet returned.

The second person charged in the deaths of Tylee Ryan, JJ Vallow, and Tammy Daybell is now in court. Chad Daybell, husband of Cult Mom Lori Vallow, is facing the same charges as his wife and more.
Shortly after her husband Charles Vallow’s shooting death, Lori Vallow moves with her two children to Rexburg, Idaho. It’s not far from where Chad Daybell, Vallow’s lover and “husband from a past life” resides with his wife Tammy Daybell. Tylee Ryan and J.J. Vallow settle in, making a trip to Yellowstone National Park with their mom and uncle Alex Cox. A photo from that trip is the last proof of Tylee’s life, and weeks later, J.J. Vallow stops going to school.
Meanwhile, Vallow and Daybell spend more time together. The couple is seen loading a storage unit with Vallow’s children’s belongings. A month passes, and suddenly Daybell’s wife Tammy is dead. Two weeks later, Lori Vallow is now Lori Vallow-Daybell after a wedding ceremony on a Kauai beach.
Chad Daybell’s wife Tammy Daybell dies in her sleep at the age of 49. Friends were shocked by her death, saying that Tammy was incredibly fit. The mom of five was training for a marathon and regularly attended high-intensity exercise classes with friends.
However, Chad Daybell painted a very different story of his wife’s health. He said Tammy Daybell was sickly, always coughing, and struggling with low blood pressure that led to fainting spells. Daybell said on the night of her death, Tammy Daybell had a coughing fit that led her to vomit. He helped her to bed and was startled awake when Tammy rolled onto the floor.
Daybell says when he checked on her, he realized Tammy was dead. Fremont County Coroner, Brenda Dye, took Daybell’s account of his wife’s health into consideration when she ruled Tammy Daybell’s cause of death to be pulmonary edema due to a cardiac event without performing an autopsy.
By June of 2020, detectives are narrowing down what happened to J.J. Vallow and Tylee Ryan since their disappearance nearly six months earlier. Lori Vallow-Daybell is behind bars on two felony charges of Desertion & Nonsupport of Dependent Children after failing to produce Tylee and J.J. in court on January 30.
On April 9, police announce their suspicion that Vallow and Vallow-Daybell conspired to kill Tammy Daybell. Rexburg Police return to Chad Daybell’s home for another search. While Daybell is detained, investigators uncover human remains in a pet cemetery in Daybell’s backyard. The remains are later confirmed to be J.J. Vallow and Tylee Ryan.

Mother's Day 2020: Mallory and Macy Morphew are on their way home from a camping trip.
They text their mother, wishing Suzanne Morphew a "Happy Mother's Day." When they don't get a reply, Mallory calls Morphew's neighbors, Martin and Jeanne Ritter, explaining she hasn't been able to reach her mother. Jeanne Ritter goes next door to look for Suzanne Morphew.
Martin Ritter calls Barry Morphew to tell him they can't find Suzanne. Barry Morphew tells Ritter to call 911. After three long years, Morphew's remains are found in Saguache County, in September 2023.
Suzanne Morphew's death has now been ruled a homicide by undetermined means. The toxicology report shows several drugs found in her system at the time of her death: Butorphanol, a synthetic opioid pain-killer, Azaperone, a sedative commonly used as a tranquilizer for pigs and elephants, and medetomidine, a sedative that can decrease an animal's heart rate, commonly used by veterinarians.

As volunteer searchers try to locate all of teen girl Sade Robinson’s remains, a gruesome discovery... this time, at a remote, tree-lined stretch of beach along Lake Michigan.
Just after 7:30 a.m., someone walking along a South Milwaukee water line discovered an arm and torso. The remains washed ashore about a quarter mile away from a nearby apartment complex. Residents watched as officers carried a body bag down the cliff to recover the body parts. Police have continued their search using a sonar detection boat to scour the lake.
During their investigations, police discovered Maxwell Anderson had a “sex dungeon” in the basement of his West Milwaukee home, according to a law enforcement source. Cops found a ‘sex sling’, restraints, and handcuffs. A close friend of Anderson’s said that on a visit to Anderson’s home last year, he noticed a large hole in the ground about 5 feet long by 6 feet deep. Anderson said he was working on an underground basement, despite having a large basement in the home already.
Neighbors say the basement in the home had small windows that were always covered, so you could not see inside.
Police also found gas cans in the garage, and blood in several areas, including on bedding and the wall of a stairwell leading to the basement. After initial DNA tests, an amended probable cause affidavit reveals the blood is not Sade Robinson's.

A 12-year-old boy climbs out of a window in a home, running to neighbors begging for food and water.
The boy is the son of Ruby Franke, a popular blogger, known for the YouTube channel "8 Passengers." The home belonged to Franke's business partner Jodi Hildebrandt.
Neighbors called police. Officers said the boy looked emaciated and malnourished. Cops also noted that the boy had “deep lacerations from being tied up with rope” and duct tape around his wrists and ankles.. After searching Hildebrandt’s home, police found Franke’s 10-year-old daughter in a similar condition. Both children were taken to a hospital.
Franke's parenting channel "8 Passengers," which at one time boasted over 2 million followers, doled out parenting advice, and in her video, she admits to withholding food as a form of punishment.
Both women have been charged with six counts of aggravated child abuse.

Months after Rachel Morin's body is found along a trail the Ma & Pa Trail, her killer is still still on the run. DNA found at the crime scene matched to a home invasion in Los Angeles, but investigators have not been able to match the profile. A video of the man believed to be the suspect, was made public. That video came from the home invasion scene in LA.
Morin’s family is turning to all options in trying to bring this killer to justice. The family has created a flyer using still images from the doorbell camera footage of the suspect. 10,000 flyers have been sent out to homes and schools near the LA crime scene. Morin family attorney, Randolph Rice, says the reason is that the suspect could have been in high school as early as two years ago. They are hoping a teacher or classmate will recognize the suspect.

According to court documents, the elaborate plan to kill Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelly began with a simple lie, the day before the murders.
Tad Cullum, the boyfriend of grandmother Tiffany Adams, had asked the owner of the property he rented for cattle grazing, if he could do some work in the pasture, with his skid steer. Picture a heavy-duty front-end loader, with lift arms that can attach to various tools, especially ones for digging.
Cullum reportedly said he wanted to cut down a tree, remove a stump, and bury some concrete. The intent was that if the hole was discovered, it was explainable. If the land owner was asked about the disturbed dirt and track marks, he could honestly answer that some dirt work had been done and concrete had been buried.
The landowner just didn’t know there were bodies underneath. News reports also say there was hay placed near and on the digging site to draw Cullum’s cattle to the spot, to trample the earth, further disguising the dig.
The OSBI, the FBI, and the Texas County Sheriff’s Department followed cell phone pings to find a horrific scene, a 10-foot-deep hole, 8 1/2 miles from the mom's abandoned car, in a pasture on leased farmland and near a bridge. Whether the two moms were buried alive.... not yet revealed.
Associate District Judge Clark Jett entered "not guilty" pleas on the behavior of Adams, Cullum, Cora, and Cole Twombly. Judge Jett also assigned pro bono attorneys for each of the four defendants and denied bail. According to the police affidavit the 4 suspects “ had “resources sufficient to organize and execute a complex murder and therefore, they also have the resources to flee if given the opportunity.”
The police documents also say Adams and Cullum own numerous firearms, and Cullum had a rifle, ammunition, body armor, and a “go-bag” prepared at his home.

Brazilian Au Pair, Juliana Peres Magalhaes and her charge leave the Banfields' Fairfax County, Virginia home but turn around when Peres Magalhaes realizes she forgot their bagged lunches.
Arriving at the house, the au pair sees a car she doesn't recognize and a man she doesn't know entering the house. Confused, she calls her employer, Brendan Banfield, who tells her to stay in the car, that he will be right there. Banfield is at the house in minutes, and they enter the house together. The au pair takes her 4-year-old charge to the basement. Brendan Banfield goes upstairs to find his wife.
Banfield finds his wife, Christine, nude, and a man he doesn't know, holding a knife to her throat. Banfield tells the man to put the knife down, but he starts stabbing the 37-year-old mother. Brendan Banfield carries a gun as an IRS Special Agent, and he draws his service revolver shooting the man in the head. The intruder is wounded and down on the ground. Banfield calls for Peres Magalhaes telling her to get his personal gun, a Glock, out of the bathroom safe. At Banfield's direction, shoots Joseph Ryan in the heart as he is lying on the ground.
Police say it appeared that Christine Banfield had been posted on an adult fetish website., but investigators say they believe it was all a ruse. Someone else created the profile on the Adult Fetish website, pretending to be Christine Banfield.
In fact, investigators believe Ryan's murder was part of an elaborate plan to kill Christine Banfield so her husband, Brendan, and their Brazilian live-in Au Pair, could be together. Investigators found pictures of Banfield and the au pair together in the Banfield bedroom, and Peres Magalhaes' clothes were found hanging in Banfield's closet, not her own.

A police affidavit says Tifany Adams allegedly gave statements indicating she was responsible for the deaths of Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelley.
Investigators now say they believe Butler and Jillian Kelley were lured to the location, arriving around 9:40 a.m. Besides the pools of blood, officers found Butler’s glasses on the ground near a broken hammer. Police say they believe the women were forced into another vehicle.
Much information has been released in the probable cause affidavit, but not the women's cause of death. The bodies were found in a cattle pasture, leased by Tad Bert Cullum, the boyfriend of grandmother Tifany Adams.
The location was narrowed down by cellphone data from three burner phones purchased by Adams. The phones first pinged at the location of Butler's abandoned car, the data then led police to the pasture property. Obvious signs of digging were discovered. A hole had been dug and filled back in. Inside the hole were the bodies of the missing women.
The motive, according to investigators, is custody of Butler’s two children: a custody battle has gone on for more than five years. Father Wrangler Rickman, Tifany Adam’s son, had custody of the children, but Rickman was confirmed to be in a rehabilitation facility in Oklahoma City.
Veronica Butler’s custody arrangement allowed her supervised visitation with her children every Saturday. And reportedly, according to Butler’s attorney, she was likely to be granted unsupervised visitation during an upcoming hearing.
The affidavit states that “Adams vehemently opposed this and went to great lengths to plan and purchase items used in Butler and Kelley’s murders,” It continues... “Adams, Cullum, Cole and Cora were willing to kidnap and murder two victims to limit visitation for Butler.”
Court documents allege that Adams and the other suspects tried to killer Butler once before in February. Adams, her boyfriend, and the other couple drove to Butler’s home near Hugoton, Kansas, intending to kill her. A witness told investigators that the planned was to throw an anvil through Butler’s windshield while she was driving. They reasoned that it would look like an accident, but Butler did not leave her home.
As state investigators pulled information from Adams’ phone, it showed web searches for “taser pain level, gun shops, prepaid cellular phones, and how to get someone out of their house." That’s also according to the probable cause documents.
Adams reportedly purchased five stun guns before the women’s disappearances, according to the documents. She bought three prepaid, unregistered burner phones from a Walmart near her. All the prepaid burners stopped transmitting the mornings the women went missing.

As James and Jennifer Crumbley awaited sentencing for their conviction for involuntary manslaughter, both sought to avoid jail.
Their son Ethan Crumbley is serving life in prison for the school rampage where four were killed and seven others were injured. The gun used was given to the teen as a birthday present by his parents. James, convicted of involuntary manslaughter, asked the judge for "time served" and Jennifer asked the judge to let her serve her time on house arrest in a guest house at her attorney's home.
Oakland County Prosecutor Marc Keast has recommended 10-to-15-year jail sentences for both Jennifer and her husband, James. While James was in jail, damning phone conversations surfaced in which Crumbley had allegedly threatened Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald.
In a call from October 9, 2023, five months before the trial, Crumbley says, “Yeah, Karen McDonald, you’re going down. … Go ahead, record this call. Send it to Karen McDonald. Tell her how James Crumbley is going to f------ take her down."
In a call on December 23, 2023, Crumbley says, “There will be retribution, believe me."
The threats were bad enough that Crumbley's jail communication privileges were revoked during his trial. Neither received the sentence they asked for.

Bryan Kohberger's attorney has provided his official alibi for the early morning hours of November 13, 2022. Kohberger claims he was driving his car.
In a newly-filed court document, Kohberger claims after he moved to the Pullman area he liked to go out and explore, and according to him, that is what he was doing when the four students were murdered, But Kohberger claims his cell phone data will back him up and prove that he was south of Pullman and west of Moscow at the time of the murders
Kohberger's official alibi claims, "Mr. Kohberger was out driving in the early morning hours of November 13, 2022; as he often did to hike and run and/or see the moon and stars, He drove throughout the area south of Pullman, Washington, west of Moscow, Idaho including Wawawai Park."
To further solidify his alibi, Kohberger said he plans to offer testimony from a CSLI expert to show that he was south of Pullman and west of Moscow at the time of the murders and that he did not travel east on the Moscow-Pullman Highway on the early morning of November 13, 2022.

Robinson texts Anderson about where to eat and tells him she is "feeling seafood". Anderson takes Sade to a place he used to work, the Twisted Fisherman. After dinner, they spend some more time together having drinks at Duke’s on Water. The couple leaves Duke’s together around 9 PM.
Around 9 AM April 2nd, Sade Robinson’s friend and coworker reports her missing to Milwaukee Police. The friend says Robinson isn’t returning her texts or calls and didn’t show up to work that morning. The friend shows officers a Snapchat that Robinson posted the night before, showing Robinson was at a sports bar, Duke’s on Water, the night before.

Actor Alec Baldwin has been indicted again, charged with involuntary manslaughter by New Mexico prosecutors in the death cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The shooting on set during the production of the film, "Rust." Baldwin was allegedly four feet from the crew on set in a mock church pew when he used his right hand to reach across his body to grab the gun holstered on his left side. He was reportedly aiming the gun toward cinematographer Halyna Hutchins when he drew back the hammer and released it. The bullet first went through director Joel Souza’s shoulder before striking Hutchins in the chest, killing her.
Ever since the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust, Alec Baldwin has claimed he didn't pull the trigger. Even after an FBI report contradicting Baldwin's account of the shooting saying the trigger had to have been pulled for the gun to fire, Baldwin still says he didn't pull the trigger. The FBI report says their testing proves the gun could not be made to fire without the pull of the trigger. Accidental discharge testing determined that the firearm used in the shooting -- a .45 Colt single-action revolver -- could not have fired without the trigger being pulled. The FBI Report also says, With the hammer in the quarter- and half-cock and fully cocked positions, the gun "could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger. Alec Baldwin says he didn't pull the trigger
The armorer for the film Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was also charged and she has been convicted and sentenced on manslaughter charges. In recorded Jailhouse phone calls Gutierrez-Reed blasts the jurors calling them "idiots" and "A-Holes". Prosecutors say the jailhouse recordings show how she really is outside of court. Gutierrez-Reed wants Alex Baldwin to go to jail too and says she won't testify at his upcoming trial if subpoenaed.

Fifteen days after Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelley are reported missing, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation announce the recovery of two bodies.
The identity of the remains has not been confirmed as yet, but we do know the remains have been sent to the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's office for identification, as well as the cause and manner of death.
Initially, police said there was evidence of suspicious circumstances in Veronica Butler‘s car. That evidence was a small amount of blood inside the vehicle. Police have now released new information. The vehicle was found on a dirt path, 1,000 feet off of Oklahoma State Highway 95 and near the car, police find multiple puddles of blood, leading investigators to conclude the women were shot, before they were abducted.
Reports began to surface that a caravan of law enforcement vehicles including swat teams was traveling in the panhandle of Oklahoma. Local reporters said there were some 20 vehicles including swat and other law enforcement vehicles in Cimarron County which split into two groups. One group went to the home of Tiffany Adams, the ex-mother-in-law of Veronica Butler, while the other group of law enforcement traveled to a different location in Cimarron County.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has now announced four people have been arrested in connection with the disappearance of Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelley. Tiffany Adams, the ex-mother-in-law of Veronica Butler, and Adams' boyfriend, Tad Cullum, are in custody.
Cole Twombly and Cora Twombly were also arrested, and all four were taken to the Texas County Jail. Each person faces two counts of suspicion of first-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping, and one count of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.

5:30 p.m. April 2: Cudahy Police respond to reports of human remains found along Lake Michigan. At Warnimont Park, cops recover a severed human leg.
Three days later, Milwaukee police find another unspecified human body part at a playground 11 miles away. A third set of unidentified human remains are recovered from a park just blocks from the previous discovery.
In the meantime, Sade Carleena Robinson, 19, is reported ‘critically missing’ by Milwaukee Police on April 1 when she fails to show up for a shift at Pizza Shuttle. Robinson’s mother, Sheena Scarbrough, says Robinson texted her that afternoon to ask for money, which Scarbrough says is very unusual for Robinson. The next morning, police respond to reports of a car fire near 30th Street and Lisbon, 2 miles from Robinson’s home. Fire investigators determined no one was inside the car, but family members identified the car as belonging to Sade.
Sade Robinson’s family joins the searches near the playground over the weekend. While police find unidentified human remains, Robinson’s family discovers a blanket belonging to Sade. The distinct pink blanket pictures Sade with her beloved dog, Coco Chanel, who passed away. As more human remains are discovered, the family is losing hope Sade will be found alive.
Authorities descend on a home 8 miles away in West Milwaukee. Investigators spend more than 24 hours searching the upper unit of the duplex, reportedly discovering blood in the stairwell and on a comforter. The homeowner is detained in connection with the remains found.
Milwaukee Sheriffs reveal Maxwell Anderson remains in custody as a person of interest connected to the remains found along Lake Michigan. Anderson has not yet been criminally charged but does have a rap sheet. Anderson has several convictions including disorderly conduct, domestic abuse, and DUI over the last 10 years. In two incidents, Anderson became violent with relatives, and in a third, beat a stranger who intervened in an argument between Anderson and a woman.
Anderson is said to work as a bartender for several establishments in the Milwaukee area.

As the Kohberger defense team moves ahead with their trial preparations in hopes of moving the proceeding out of Latah County, they put together a research project.
In that research project, they hired a polling company to survey area residents to ask questions about how much the residents may know about the murders. The company had reached around 400 residents before a concerned citizen recorded one of the survey phone calls and contacted the district attorney's office to complain.
Prosecutors say the polling company was asking questions to plant negative opinions of Kohberger in potential jurors' minds in the hopes the calls would serve to prove that local people were prejudiced against Kohberger and that the trial should be moved to another county.

A sixth lawsuit naming Sean Combs, alleges his son, Christian ‘King’ Combs, attacked a stewardess while aboard Victorious, an 85-foot superyacht chartered by Sean Combs.
Grace O’Marcaigh claims Christian Combs forced her to take shots from a spiked bottle he brought aboard. O’Marcaigh goes on to say Combs groped her, removed his clothes, and attempted to force her into oral sex. Another stewardess walked in on the attack, startling Combs and allowing O’Marcaigh to escape.
O’Marcaigh claims Rodney Jones has audio recordings of Combs forcing himself on her. Sean Combs is named for aiding and abetting his son in the attack.
Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones' lawsuit alleges there is evidence of the sexual assaults and sex trafficking as hidden cameras record everything throughout Combs’ homes, which is why homes in LA and Miami were raided. Combs’ former bodyguard, Gene Deal, commented that if there are cameras in Combs’ homes, there may be compromising video of “politicians and princes.”
The claims are reminiscent of cameras Jeffrey Epstein allegedly used as an “insurance policy” against powerful friends like Prince Andrew.

"General Hospital” star Haley Pullos, charged after a wrong-way crash, is now saying she was not responsible for the damages caused to one of the other drivers.
Pullos is charged with driving under the influence after her car flew over the dividing barrier, and into oncoming traffic. She careened off one car and collided head-on with another car that was going about 60 mph.
Police reportedly recovered marijuana edibles and alcohol from the actress’ car. Firefighters had to use "the jaws of life" to free Pullos from her car. That's when the "General Hospital" actress lashed out at the responders shouting, “This is a $400 f**king shirt!”
Now the actress is claiming she was not responsible for the damages that crash victim Courtney Wilder allegedly received. Documents filed by Pullos’ legal team say Pullos denied all the allegations levied against her in the lawsuit and went on to say the damages were caused by negligence or content of Wilder.

As a Halloween party in an upscale neighborhood gets out of hand, neighbors call 911 saying there are too many cars and drunk teens in the neighborhood.
As Preston Lord and his friends leave the party, one of Lord's friends has a necklace stolen by another group of teens. A fight breaks out when Lord tries to get the necklace back. He is beaten by a group of teens who knock Lord unconscious and kick him while he’s on the ground. Witnesses recount seeing the attackers “hump” Lord and someone in a white suit returning to stomp on Preston Lord, still unconscious in the middle of the street.
As Preston Lord lays unconscious on the pavement, friends determine his heart has stopped and other partygoers perform CPR until police arrive and take over. Lord is taken by ambulance to Chandler Regional Hospital, then transferred to Phoenix Children's in extremely critical condition with a severe brain injury. Preston Lord succumbs to his injuries.
For those involved, Lord’s death is fodder for social media, some trying to figure out how to cash in on the reward money offered for information about what happened.
The suspects discuss the fight over Snapchat with one of the messages reading, "My mom wants in on the $10K.”
These messages are some of the first real clues police begin to follow. A tipster notifies police that Talan Renner admitted to a friend that he threw the first punch, and Owen Hines told a friend “he only kicked him in the stomach.”
Nearly all the witnesses point out Treston Billey and Dominic Turner as aggressors due to their distinct costumes that night. Turner wore all black, while Billey donned a white suit.
Using the suspects' digital media, investigators find Taylor Sherman, who admits to taking a video of Preston as he is unconscious on the ground and sending it out on Snapchat. Talyn Vigil also sent a message reading, “I hit a kid and this kid fell, hit his head. Then they kicked his head in the ground, then I got word he died so idk.”
The day Preston Lord passes away, Talan Renner’s millionaire father, Travis Renner, goes to work trying to cover up the teen’s involvement. Renner and his business partner allegedly hand out NDAs and push a story that despite Talan Renner having thrown the first punch, Talyn Vigil was truly to blame for Lord’s death. Renner tells the school his son is being bullied, and whisks Talan away to his $800,000 golf club cabin in Show Low, Arizona for a week while Talan’s hands heal from the fight.
Meanwhile Talan Renner brags to friends on Snapchat, “I got in a fight, a big group fight, and I accidentally killed a kid. I guess I’m just too strong.”

Sean Combs' sex trafficking investigation is drawing comparisons to that of Jeffrey Epstein.
Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones' accuses Combs of sexually assaulting him and other victims on multiple occasions. Combs is accused of luring victims onto a yacht he rents for trips to the Virgin Islands and sexually assaulting guests on the yacht.
The Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones lawsuit alleges Sean Combs has an aide who plays a role similar to what Ghislaine Maxwell did for Epstein in helping procure potential victims. The Jones lawsuit further alleges there is evidence of the sexual assaults and sex trafficking as hidden cameras record everything throughout Combs' homes, which is why homes in LA and Miami were raided.
While Sean Combs' estates were being raided, sons, King Combs and Justin Combs were detained during the raids. And now King Combs is speaking out about his detainment and the sex assault scandal engulfing his father on Instagram saying, "stop with the Cap" which is slang for "quit lying."
The post is apparently in response to allegations about his father, but the somewhat cryptic message might also be directed at Sean Combs accusers.

Even though the body of Riley Strain has been found, authorities are no closer to releasing his cause of death.
His body was found submerged in the Cumberland River, eight miles downriver from where he was last seen. Strain still had on the white and black shirt he was last seen wearing, but his boots, pants, and wallet were missing.
The initial autopsy report says no signs of foul play, but the family ordered a second, private autopsy, saying the absence of water in his lungs raises questions about whether or not Riley drowned.
The family is also concerned that Strain was found nearly nude, wearing only his watch and a shirt. Pictures analyzed from the night he vanished show Strain had his wallet in the front pocket of his pants, and he was wearing Justins, which are square nose-style Cowboy boots.
His body was found without the boots, pants, or wallet.

Tate and his brother were taken into custody in Romania, where they live. Prosecutors say the Tates and two associates formed an organized criminal group to groom and sexually traffick women in the United States, the United Kingdom, as well as Romania.
The indictment names seven women who say the Tate brothers recruited them with false promises, including love and marriage, but instead took them to buildings where they intimidated them, watched over them constantly, forcing them into debt and pornography.

On Tuesday, November 7, Sam Haskell IV hires a couple of day laborers to take three bags of rocks to the dump. The bags don't feel like rocks, they feel like meat.
A block away from Haskell's home, the men open a bag. Seeing a belly button, the men returned the bags and the money to Haskell who claims they saw Halloween props. The workers go to the police to tell their story, but end up having to call 911 from the parking lot of the police station.
By the time cops get to Haskell's place to investigate, Haskell is gone and so are the supposed bags of body parts. An investigation starts. The next morning at 6:15 a.m., a 911 call comes in from a homeless man who was dumpster diving when he found a headless body.
The headless torso of a female identified after an autopsy, confirmed to be the wife of Sam Haskell IV. According to the autopsy report, it was a "dismembered torso with a single sharp force injury at the base of the anterior neck."
No fatal injuries were found on the torso. The report further states Haskell's "head, majority of the neck, and majority of all four extremities" were absent and the "amputation sites" were "remarkably smooth," which suggests a sharp power tool was likely used.
One of the most shocking facts found in the autopsy report is that Mei Haskell may have been alive when her head was severed from her torso. According to the autopsy report, "there was no definite indication that dismemberment occured antemortem."
However, "the possibility that the head and neck removal was initiated prior to death cannot be entirely excluded."

Nadia Vitel spends a couple of days moving personal items into an apartment in Manhattan's Kips Bay, and she is captured on security cameras going in and out several times on March 10.
Vitel spends two days on Long Island then on March 12 she heads back to the Kips Bay Apartment. Vitel's son, Michael Medvedev, talks with her on Tuesday the 12th, but after the 12th, she isn't answering calls or returning texts.
After two days of no contact, Medvedev calls police to do a welfare check on his 52-year-old mother. Waiting for the police, Medvedev convinces the building super to let him into the apartment. Walking through the apartment, nothing seems amiss, except his mother is not there. As they are walking out, Medvedev notices a duffel bag in a closet, which seems a bit out of place.
The investigation into the death of Nadia Vitel starts with her injuries and the surveillance cameras in the building. Vitel suffered blunt force trauma to the head, multiple facial fractures, a brain bleed, and two broken ribs. Her body is found on Thursday, March 14.
Investigators look back and find surveillance video showing Vital as she brings her personal items into the building on the 10th. Vital leaves the building just after 11 am on March 10th, and 19-year-old Halley Tejada and 18-year-old Kensly Alston, are seen trying to enter the building around 2 pm the 10th. 1 hour later Tejada and Alston are on camera in the building and seen on elevator surveillance camera entering Nadia Vitel's apartment.
NYPD police chief Joseph Kenny says Halley Tejada and Kensly Alston were squatting in Nadia Vitel's apartment. When Vitel returned to the apartment on March 12, she confronted the squatters who proceeded to allegedly beat her to death, and cram her body into a duffel bag. Tejada and Alston allegedly through Vitel's personal effects and more in the trash, then left the building in her Lexus SUV.
Using Vitel's bank cards, Tejada and Alston charge their way to Pennsylvania where they are involved in a traffic accident on March 13. Alston gives police a fake name, slowing the process of clearing the accident. Once Vitel's body is found on the 14th, her Lexus is reported stolen, and the US Marshals are able to track Tejada and Alston to Lower Paxton Township Pennsylvania where they are placed in custody.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace: DIDDY DONE? FEDS Raid Sean Combs on SEX TRAFFICKING PCby Crime Online StaffMarch 27, 2024 Share Tweet
Sean Combs, AKA “Puff Daddy”, “P. Diddy” and “Brother Love”, is credited with the development of several big-name hip-hop artists including Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, and Usher.
But Diddy’s own music career is just as impressive, with 11 number-one singles, 14 nominations, and three Grammy awards. In addition to Combs’ label, Bad Boy Records, the rap mogul co-founded the network Revolt TV and hosts several businesses under the umbrella company Combs Global. At Forbes’ last estimate, Combs had a net worth of roughly $1 billion.
On Monday, large teams of law enforcement led by Homeland Security Investigators raided 3 homes belonging to Sean “Diddy” Combs in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex trafficking investigation stemming from accusations leveled against Combs in 5 separate lawsuits brought against him.
The latest suit filed in February by music producer Rodney ‘Lil-Rod’ Jones details frequent drug use, a shooting, and several accounts of sexual assault while working with Combs on “The Love Album.”
In the 73-page document, Jones claims that Combs forced him to solicit sex workers and perform sex acts with them as Combs’ looked on. Jones also alleges the rapper threw parties he called ‘Freak Offs’, during which underage girls and sex workers were given laced drinks and assaulted.
Combs’ son Justin, producer Stevie J, and associate Brendon Paul, allegedly supplied the women and drugs for the parties. The suit goes on to say that Combs’ access to major celebrities, athletes, and even British Royals, such as Prince Harry, gave him and his followers “legitimacy.”
Two of Combs’ sons, Justin and King Combs, are seen outside in handcuffs while investigators carry evidence out of Combs’ $35 million Los Angeles mansion. The two men were later released and seen gathering belongings before leaving the residence.
Combs was in the Miami area during the raid and was stopped at Opa Locka airport with family members and friends. Feds seized Combs’ phone while a member of his party was arrested on unrelated drug charges. The rapper’s current whereabouts are unknown.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer in charge of the guns in the film "Rust," has been found guilty of manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Hutchins was killed when star Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun during rehearsal loaded with live ammo instead of a blank round. Reports say first assistant director David Halls picked up one of the three prop guns that had been set up by armorer Hannah Gutierrez and yelled, “Cold gun.”
"Cold gun" is industry slang meaning the gun did not contain live rounds. Halls gave the gun to Baldwin who was using the gun to rehearse a scene. The search warrant said Baldwin was aiming the weapon at the camera when he fired, striking Hutchins and Souza.
Reports have surfaced that the weapon was used for target practice by crew members that morning. Gutierrez Reed faces up to 18 months in prison at sentencing in April.
Baldwin has also been charged. His trial starts in July.

Prosecutors asked last month for more information from Kohberger's legal team on a possible alibi. Judge John Judge, set an April 17th deadline for Kohberger's legal team to provide documents relating to an alibi.
Last year, at least two possible alibis were set out by Kohberger's attorney.
The first saying... it was Kohberger’s habit to go for long drives, alone, late at night. Defense attorney Anne Taylor later gave the court brief information saying, "Evidence corroborating Mr. Kohberger being at a location other than the King Road address will be disclosed pursuant to discovery and evidentiary rules as well as statutory requirements."
That location has not been revealed. Could there now be an actual witness?

After moving back to Houston, Christina Johnson has been staying with her dad.
Her normal routine includes her Max, her 10-year-old mix breed dog. Johnson rarely goes anywhere without her canine best friend. Each morning, Christina grabs her laptop and takes Max for a walk to a nearby Jack-in-the-box, or they go to the Hackberry Community Center.
Johnson's family says Christina and Max are often gone all day long but are always back before evening.
On March 6, Christina left with Max as she usually does, but they didn't come back home, according to her father, Emmanuel Johnson. He reports his daughter missing and begins searching for her. Johnson says Christina would never stay away this long and believes she might be held against her will.
Then a shocking discovery: In a neighborhood seven miles away from the Johnson home, Callie Clemens, driving in a ferocious downpour, spots a dog similar to Max, wandering around all alone.
She has seen reports of Christina and Max missing and calls Max by name.
Now BREAKING News as we go to air, Emmanuel Johnson tells us his daughter has been found. Listen to his reaction.

Minutes after the school day ends, students from Hazelwood East High School in St. Louis County Missouri, gather to watch the end of a fight between two teen girls.
Kaylee Gain and her alleged attacker Maurnice DeClue square off and DeClue quickly gets the upper hand, pulling Gain to the ground. DeClue pummels Gain in the head and upper body. As Gain is on her back on the pavement, a bystander tries to intervene by trying to get the unnamed girl off Kaylee Gain.
The bystander is quickly rushed by two other girls who push her back from the fight and begin a separate fight of their own while Gain is being pounded by a closed fist to the head and upper body,
DeClue proceeds to pull Kaylee Gain's head about two feet above the concrete, then slams Gain's head into the cement. The first hit renders Kaylee Gain unable to defend herself as her assailant quickly pulls her back up off the concrete and lifting her head further than the first time, smashes the head of Kaylee Gain back into the cement again.
The sound of the back of her head hitting concrete is such a sickening thud, and observers realize something terrible has happened. The attacker, as well as those who have observed the beating, move on to other fights taking place while Kaylee Gain is left alone, unconscious on the pavement.
As EMTs arrive, Kaylee Gain is convulsing.
St. Louis Police stated a 15-year-old suspect has been arrested and is being held in St. Louis County Family Court on assault charges. The determination is still to be made whether DeClue will be charged as an adult.
Maurnice DeClue's family says she is the victim and has been repeatedly bullied. They say she was lured to the fight location.

Christa Pike was 18-years-old when she thought her 19-year-old job corps classmate, Colleen Slemmer, was trying to steal her boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp. Pike spent over 30-minutes beating Colleen Slemmer with her hands and feet, as well as a box cutter and a meat cleaver. Slemmer tried to escape. Shipp,17, caught her so Pike could continue the beating. Pike carved a pentagram into Slemmer's chest, used the box cutter to slice her throat. When she didn't die, Pike picked up a chunk of asphalt and slammed it onto Slemmer's head. The next day Pike brought a piece of Slemmer's skull to breakfast and told classmates what she had done. Convicted of murder and sentenced to death, Christa Pike now wants a judge to vacate her death sentence. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack detail the story that Joe Scott says is the worst case he has ever seen.

Fake German heiress Anna Sorokin conned her way into Manhattan society.
Posing as Anna Delvey, a German heiress, she swindled banks, hotels, and friends out of more than $200,000. She forged checks to get money from banks and charmed people into paying for extravagant meals, and travel.
Sorokin was convicted on a handful of grand larceny and theft of services charges. After serving her time, the 31-year-old was released from prison, now, fighting being deported, but again Sorokin falls on her feet. First, she landed a deal with Netflix for the rights to her life story, then began selling her artwork, and now, Sorokin says her home confinement and social media ban is “more restrictive” than jail.
Sorokin is asking a federal judge to change the conditions of her house arrest.

Two girls stab their best friend 19 times. Why? They wanted to appease the fictional horror character, Slender Man. Both girls serve time in a mental health facility.
Anissa Weier was granted conditional release in September 2021. She was required to receive outpatient psychiatric treatment and was subject to GPS monitoring – though the monitoring was waived in September of last year.
Now a Wisconsin judge will hear evidence in April to decide whether to release Morgan Geyser from the mental health facility where she’s being held. The 21-year-old Geyser requested conditional release from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute from Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren back in January.
This is similar to a petition that Geyser filed in 2022 for conditional release, but withdrew two months later.
In the latest petition filed on January 16, Geyser is asking Judge Michael O. Bohren to consider whether she is no longer a threat to herself or others — a decision that will be based on a new round of medical exams.
The judge appointed three psychiatric experts — one on behalf of Geyser, one on behalf of prosecutors, and the third as a court appointee — to examine her and produce reports on her current mental condition. Judge Bohren then set a hearing for April 10-11 to consider the reports and possibly rule on the release request.

Friday, March 3rd: Pamela Turner waits for her stepson to get off the school bus. When Justin Turner doesn't, the stepmom calls the school.
The staff tells her that Justin was marked absent that day. The sheriff's office is called and deputies come to the Turner home. Justin Turner, 5, has been missing for hours.
The search for Justin Turner includes multiple agencies and volunteers from the area. For two days, WCBD News video cameras follow the searches. Video shows volunteers side-by-side with police and sheriff's deputies, walking nearly shoulder to shoulder through fields, checking under back decks and sheds.
The Channel 2 cameraman is filming as Victor Turner goes into a camper on their property, and quickly comes back out saying, "My son's in there."
The body of Justin Turner is found hidden inside a cabinet in the pickup truck camper, parked close to the family home. An autopsy and forensic analysis are done on the 5-year-old, and investigators determine that the boy had been placed inside the camper shortly after his strangulation death. A forensic pathologist report indicates the boy died a short time after eating his last meal.
The Berkeley County Sheriff at the time, M.C. Cannon says accidental death is ruled out. The coroner's autopsy report reveals the boy was sexually assaulted with some kind of cylindrical object, and strangled to death. The case is officially ruled a homicide.

Julia Niswender's roommates are gone for the weekend, but then one stops by the apartment on Monday to pick up some things for class.
She heads out without seeing or talking to Julia. The next day the roommate realizes she hasn't seen or talked to Julia in two days. The bedroom door is locked so she calls security at the apartment complex to check on her roommate. The guard shows up with police, and using a master key to open the door, walks into Julia Niswender's room. It appears as if a home invasion has taken place.
Calling out for Julia and getting no reply, the officer walks toward the bathroom door, finding a pair of white latex gloves on the floor in front of the bathroom door. They are twisted and intertwined with each other.
Opening the bathroom door, officers discover Julia's lifeless, nude body, face down submerged in the bathtub filled with water. Her hands are pulled behind her back, her feet are together, and her cell phone is found underneath her body. Niswender's clothes have been cut off, except for a sleeve, and are left on the bathroom floor.
Niswender's room looks like it has been tossed. Clothes are all over the floor of the room, drawers are left open, contents from a plastic organizer drawer have been dumped on the floor, and the contents of Niswender's purse is dumped out onto her bed.
A black-and-white zebra-striped pillowcase is missing from a pillow, her keys to the apartment are missing from a lanyard, and police note that it looks like a home invasion took place, but wrapped Christmas presents, an iPod, computer, and tv are not taken from the room.
The night her body is found, officers note how her mother is pacing back and forth at the police station, while her stepfather seems stoic as he sits in the lobby.
The first of several red flags that led investigators to take a closer look at Jim Turnquist. Looking at Turnquist, the police ask for his laptop, and he complies, they ask for a polygraph, and he complies twice, and passes twice. Investigators consult with the FBI and are encouraged to take a good look at Turnquist. Turnquist is named a Person of Interest, and he is charged, and not in the death of Julia Niswender, but in child pornography.
There are 300,000 pictures on his laptop, 7 of which lead to charges of child porn. At trial, experts testified the 7 photos are in temp folders and could have been pop-up ads, and you can't even tell the age of the people in the pictures.
Turnquist is acquitted of the child porn charges. The murder case of Julia Niswender turns cold.

April 23, 1993: the owner of Ajax Liquor store, Steve Weltig, is found dead on the floor on the floor of his shop. Investigators say it appears a struggle took place just before Weltig is shot in the head.
Detectives work the case and develop a suspect sketch, but no real evidence leading to a killer is found and the case goes cold. The case is assigned to different investigators over the years. New leads are investigated, and evidence is collected. In 2015, reliable tips led detectives to Loril Harp. Harp's former wife contacted police and told them Loril Harp shot Weltig.
She tells detectives she did not drive her former husband to the liquor store on the day of the murder. She was at home and when Harp came home that morning he immediately took a shower. She tells police her ex-husband tells her he just shot a man in an Arnold liquor store.
A friend and former co-worker of Weltig's also tells Arnold police that Harp told him that he shot Weltig. Harp is brought in for an interview but investigators fail to gather enough evidence to seek charges for the murder.
Twenty-seven years after the murder of Steve Weltig, another set of detectives take over the case. Looking back over the case file, they watch the 2015 interview with Loril Harp. In that interview, detectives leave the room for a few minutes.
During the break, Loril Harp makes a call on his cell phone and what he says lights a fire under the investigation. Loril Harp tells the person on the phone that he is not under arrest, but "I probably will be before I leave here."
The detectives recognize this as a near admission that Loril Harp is expecting something after all these years. Harp is brought back in for a new interview.
Investigators Cpl. Brett Acklermann and Detective Corporal Josh Wineinger spend hours talking to Loril Harp. At 68 years old, Harp is in bad health and needs 24-hour nursing care. During his interview with the detectives, Loril Harp says he did not shoot Steve Weltig multiple times.
Harp admits that he and Weltig got into a fight, and Harp says he hit Weltig a few times and left. Harp claims he went home and took a shower, right away. And the detectives begin talking about cleaning up the blood when Harp is asked if he had a little blood on him, Harp replies "I must have if I shot him."
This phrase is all detectives need.

In 2018, Elizabethton High School student teacher Alex Campbell challenged his students to see if they could figure out if the Redhead murders are sometimes called the Bible Belt Murders.
There were 14 unsolved murders with a similar M.O. Campbell gets help from a former FBI agent teaching the young people about profiling a case. The students of Elizabethton High School start to see a potential pattern emerge in six of the potential murders.
In looking at the background of the murders, they started New Year's Day 1985, the body of a young female with reddish hair was found strangled, wrapped in a blanket, and tossed down an embankment off the southbound side of I-75 near Jellico, Tennessee. Due to decomposition, authorities believe she was killed about 72 hours before her body was found, 10-12 weeks pregnant when she was murdered.
The identification of Tina McKenney Farmer of Indiana helped the investigation move forward quickly. The evidence from the crime scene was tested and a match was found. The DNA matched Jerry Johns, convicted in the 1987 attempted murder of a woman he kidnapped, strangled, and then dumped along I-40.
Linda Schacke met Jerry Johns in a club in West Knoxville, Tennesee. The 36-year-old trucker seems like a nice guy until he pulls a gun, and forces her at gunpoint to drive to a wooded area off the interstate where he rips her shirt and uses part of it to strangle her. Johns then tosses the strangled and bound woman on the inside of a storm drain under I-40.
Like Tina Famer and many others, Linda Schacke has red hair, Unlike the others, Linda Schacke survives the attack. When Jerry Johns was convicted of the attack on Schacke, he was considered a suspect in some homicides, but there was never enough evidence. However, even though Tina Marie McKenney Farmer was positively identified by fingerprint identification, there was DNA left behind in the blanket she was wrapped up in after she was killed. 2019,
DNA evidence identified convicted kidnapper Jerry Leon Johns as the man who killed Tina Marie McKenney Farmer in December 1984. Johns died in prison in 2015. On December 18, 2019, a grand jury in Campbell County, Tennessee, ruled that Johns would have been indicted for murder in Farmer's death if he were still alive.
The students of Elizabethton High School continue to investigate and believe they have developed some strong evidence that shows whoever killed McKenney-Farmer, probably killed Lisa Nichols, Michelle Inman, Elizabeth Lamotte, Tracy Walker, and even a still unidentified Jane Doe in Desoto County.

An Illinois mom is killed and two children are seriously injured while parasailing.
A storm blew in, affecting the stability of the boat towing the family. Now, the husband of a 33-year-old woman has filed lawsuits naming multiple parties. A preliminary incident report from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission says boat captain Daniel Couch,49, cut the towing cable when the parasail “pegged” in a high gust of wind, threatening to drag his boat.
This resulted in the parasail and the individuals being drug “through and across the surface of the water” and slammed into an abandoned Florida Keys bridge.
Supraja Alaparthi, 33, was dead before another boat captain untangled her and the children from the parasail cables and rushed them to a Marathon restaurant where crews had set up a staging area.

The parents of a 12-year-old boy think Trails Carolina might be just the place to help their son.
Trails Carolina claims to be a Leader in Wilderness Therapy offering an Adventure Wilderness Program for children who have behavioral and or emotional difficulties. The parents say their boy is transported by two men from New York to Trails Carolina Camp at Lake Toxaway, North Carolina.
Their son arrives at the camp in an agitated state. The 12-year-old is loud and disruptive, but he is assigned to a cabin with other children as well as four adults. In less than 24 hours, the 12-year-old boy from New York is dead. Sheriff Chuck Owenby says an autopsy is being conducted because the death "appeared suspicious" since the boy died at the camp less than 24 hours after he arrived.
A counselor explained to investigators that the boy was required to sleep on the floor inside a sleeping bag. The sleeping bag is inside a small tent called a "BIVY." According to search warrant documents, around midnight the boy started to experience a panic attack.
After the panic attack, a counselor told investigators that the boy was checked on throughout the night starting at 12 a.m., with additional checks on his well-being at 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. At 7:45 a.m., the boy was found dead.
According to the search warrant, when investigators arrived at the scene, CJH was stiff and "cold to the touch." He was lying on his back, his arms were on his chest, and his "knees bent upwards toward the sky."
Also in the search warrant, investigators noted spots of bleeding under the skin, "possible petechiae" in the boy's lips and eyes. This is considered a sign of asphyxiation. The warrant also notes a CPR mask was covering the boy's face and he was not wearing any pants or underwear. His pants and underwear were lying next to his shoulder
Early in the investigation, detectives with the Transylvania County Sheriff's Office attempted to interview other juveniles at Trails Carolina when the boy died. However, camp staff members refused to allow investigators to interview or even see any of the other juveniles.
Trails Carolina says the search warrant contains "misleading statements" saying they won't discuss some details "out of respect for the family and the investigation."
In a statement, Trails Carolina says they did not prevent children from speaking to investigators claiming they asked parents for permission for any children involved to speak with law enforcement and state agencies, and "complied with each parent's preference. as we are required to do." Children were moved to the area to protect them from seeing what was happening, not to avoid investigators.
In response to the recent suspicious death of a 12-year-old at Trails Carolina, North Carolina health officials ordered the removal of all children from the nature therapy program.

Catherine and Mason meet through mutual friends. The couple decide to marry, move into a quiet neighborhood in Houston, and have two children.
As the now Herring family grows, Mason Herring establishes a successful law firm while Catherine Herring steps down as an executive with a non-profit to spend full-time raising the children.
Catherine Herring is pregnant with her third child and catches her husband lying about his whereabouts and texting a former female colleague. After a confrontation, Herring tells his wife he wants to separate so he can work on himself, and move out. The couple goes to marriage counseling and their therapist suggests they spend Spring Break together.
Mason Herring tells his wife he wants a divorce but would look like a jerk divorcing her while she is pregnant. Catherine Herring still has hope for the marriage and believes they can work it out. During their Spring Break together, Mason Herring brings his wife breakfast in bed.
Mason Herring seems to be getting excited about their third child and encourages his wife to drink more fluids as it is better for the baby. To that end, along with breakfast in bed, Mason Herring brings Catherine a glass of water with the food, insisting she drink it all while he watches. The water is cloudy but the dutiful husband promises it is just old pipes or slightly dirty glass. Catherine Herring drinks all the water.
About 30 minutes after Mason Herring leaves for work, Catherine becomes sick, with painful stomach cramps, and diarrhea, and after her third trip to the bathroom realizes she is bleeding heavily. Herring goes to the emergency room where even after she is treated and sent home, she is still bleeding.
After getting home from the hospital, Mason Herring continues to bring drinks to his wife, including a bottle of orange juice. The seal on the bottle is broken and a powder is seen in the bottom of the bottle. Catherine Herring doesn't drink what her husband gives her, but she saves it and takes the evidence to a private investigator.
Surveillance cameras inside their home catch Herring putting a powdered substance from a bag in his pocket into a drink that he gives his wife.
Catherine Herring retrieves the trash and finds a blister pack of Cyrux, a generic version of misoprostol, the drug most commonly used to induce an abortion. Catherine Herring meets with Houston police.
Mason Herring was arrested in November 2022 and charged with assault with intent to force an abortion, assault of a pregnant person, and attempted injury to a child. He agrees to a plea deal; the first assault charge is dropped and the injury to a child charge is reduced to a third-degree felony.
Herring will spend 180 days in county jail with 10 years probation.

Nick Davi and his wife move to Las Vegas and join Grace Point Church. As the family grows with the birth of two children, so does Nick Davi’s calling.
Nick Davi joins the staff at the church, eventually becoming the Pastor of Operations, overseeing the church’s 30,000-square-foot facility.
The family settles in a gated townhome community in the North Las Vegas Court at Aliante. Over the last year, difficulties with a neighbor have made it necessary for Davi to make multiple complaints to the Homeowners Association. And that’s not all. The situation is so bad.
Davi calls the police twice in one month and obtains a restraining order against the neighbor. The family even moves out of their condo for a few weeks to de-escalate tensions. They stay with friends but return home as necessary to collect additional clothes and personal effects.
When Nick Davi files for a restraining order against his neighbor, he tells police he and his family feel “terrorized ” after weeks of alleged harassment. The family says the neighbor threw rocks and large amounts of dog feces into their yard, accused the neighbor of flooding their home, and during one confrontation threatened the Davi children who were playing in their backyard.
The neighbor reportedly pulled a finger across her throat in a cutting motion and said the family was next.
The Davi family stops at their home to get fresh clothing and other personal items. The family is pulling out of a parking spot as Joe Junio drives by them, and according to 8 News, parks her car right next to Davi's car and rolls down her windows. Pastor Nick gets out of his car to talk to Junio, as the children use a cell phone to record the altercation.
As Nick Davi asks Junio "What is your problem with us?" Junio opens her car door, takes a shooter stance, and fires a gun at Pastor Nick Davi.
Davi is shot in the stomach. Junio then turns the weapon on Sarah David.
According to Grace Point Pastor Ty Neal, "Sarah goes on the offensive and wrestles the gun away." Sarah Davi is shot in the thigh.
Joe Junio runs into her townhouse as 911 is called. Pastor Nick Davi dies from his injuries.

Denisse Oleas-Arancibia has not been in touch with her son and is worried something has happened.
As her son reports her missing in Queens, where she lives, the front desk at the SoHo 54 Hotel on Watts Street is being asked to perform a wellness check on one of their guests. Despite a "do not disturb" sign on the door, a hotel employee entered the room and saw the 38-year-old Oleas-Arancibia lying covered with a blanket. She looked like she was resting so the employee quickly backed out of the room and reported to the front desk that the guest was sleeping.
Police, following up on the missing person report filed by her son, end up at the SoHo 54 Hotel in Manhattan. It is around 10:30 a.m. when a maid enters the room and realizes that Denisse Oleas-Arancibia is not sleeping, but rather, the blanket has been used to cover the body of a woman who has been beaten to death.
Police arrive at room 1190 on the 11th floor of the SoHo 54 Hotel and find a bloody crime scene with evidence left behind by the possible killer. The victim has been beaten and strangled, and there are fragments of plastic embedded in her head and an iron covered in blood next to her.
Police catch a break when they find a pair of blood-soaked men's pants with a receipt.
Police find surveillance video of the man in the leggings walking through the lobby and immediately begin their hunt.

Madeline, 13, has been missing since Monday morning when her mom's boyfriend dropped the teen off near the Peace United Methodist Church, a few blocks from Hunters Creek Middle School in Orlando.
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Madeline's mom goes to pick her up and finds that Madeline never reported to school. Police started canvassing the area, looking for any witnesses or surveillance video. Later that evening, police called in bloodhounds.

Adam Montgomery has been convicted in the death of his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony.
Her body has never been recovered. It only took the jury six hours of deliberation spread over two days, to hand down the verdict. Police said that “on or about Dec. 7, 2019,” Montgomery repeatedly struck 5-year-old Harmony “in the head with a closed fist.”
New Hampshire police say the then 5-year-old vanished sometime between November 28 and December 10, 2019. Her disappearance was not reported for two years.
The family of Harmony Montgomery says the New Hampshire Division For Children Youth and Families failed the little girl. According to Blair Miller, who adopted Harmony's younger brother, DCYF officials told him, Harmony had been reunited with her father. Miller had asked about the possibility of adopting Harmony as well.
According to court documents, Kevin Montgomery, Adam's Uncle, called DCYF after he noticed Harmony had a black eye. Kevin Montgomery later told police his nephew, Adam, admitted to physically abusing Harmony.

New claims have surfaced that Delphi murder victim Libby German was almost decapitated by her killer. What's more, some are questioning whether the real killer is behind bars.
When the girls' bodies were first found on property owned by Ron Logan, he became a suspect. Police served search warrants on his property and took away his Ford Pickup truck for processing.
Logan was also arrested at that time on a probation violation. Ron Logan claims he was not at home when the kidnapping and murders happened, but was 20 miles away buying tropical fish in Lafayette. Logan says he got home around 6:30 in the evening and neighbors asked for permission to look on the property for the girls.
Logan was questioned by detectives at length, but ultimately police let him go and moved on to other potential suspects.

Audrii Cunningham's body has been found along the Trinity River after water levels were lowered, allowing detectives access.
Don Steven McDougal, 42, led investigators to the location earlier in the investigation. McDougal has now been charged with capital murder.
Don Steven McDougal has been a person of interest since the first 24 hours of Audrii Cunningham's disappearance. He was arrested on an unrelated charge. In 2010, Don Steven McDougal was working in a local garage with Elic Bryan III.
Bryan says McDougal seemed like an OK guy, until one night when McDougal had too much to drink and Bryan had to kick him out of his house. McDougal left, briefly, and came back with a knife, slashing tires and trying to stab Bryan. Bryan had to get his gun to try to run a drunk McDougal off his property, but it took police with police dogs coming out to track him down and take McDougal to jail.
Don Steven McDougal admits he was supposed to take Audrii Cunningham to the bus stop but he has yet to tell investigators if she made it to the bus stop or not.

Lauren Skerritt, 28, is a fantastic physical shape due to being an athlete and obstacle course racer.
The Rhode Islander stops by a Greenville Panera Bread and drinks two and a half servings of Panera Bread's "Charged Lemonade". The next day, Skerritt is rushed to the Emergency room suffering from an irregular heartbeat. Skerritt is shocked when doctors diagnose her with a heart condition that can lead to stroke and other complications known as atrial fibrillation.
Skerrit says her heart problem was caused by the popular beverage from Panera Bread that contains as much caffeine as three cans of Red Bull, according to a lawsuit. Skerrit's lawsuit is not the first, two other suits have already been filed against the restaurant chain over its "charged lemonade."
Panera has said the previous two lawsuits were “equally without merit.”
This lawsuit claims Skerritt continues to experience supraventricular tachycardia with associated shortness of breath, palpitations, brain fog, difficulty thinking and concentrating, body shakes, and weakness.

Claud "Tex" McIver is convicted in the shooting death of his wife, Diane.
That conviction has been reversed and now, the once-prominent Atlanta attorney takes a plea deal that will pave his way to a release. Georgia’s highest court ruled that the jury should have been able to consider a misdemeanor involuntary manslaughter charge.
McIver has now pleaded guilty to lesser charges of involuntary manslaughter, conduct, and possession of a gun during the commission of a crime. He will receive credit for the time he’s already spent in custody.

When his 6-year-old daughter becomes unresponsive, Jacob Weight calls 911.
He tells dispatch one of his older children was bathing his 6-year-old when she went limp and suffered some type of seizure. First responders are met by Jacob at the door. He refuses to allow EMS into the house, telling them he must get his daughter dressed. He brings her outside where she can be seen.
Police and first responders are taken aback by the conditions at the home. Trash is scattered about. Feces is smeared on the ground, and the smell of urine is very strong. The 6-year-old girl they have been called to treat is covered in open sores and KDKA reports she has extensive bruises and appears malnourished.
Once the 6-year-old girl is at the hospital the full extent of her injuries is apparent. According to a medical report, her teeth are broken and rotted, and her feet are swollen. When she arrives at Uniontown Hospital, she is found to be hypothermic, with a body temperature registering at only 88.7 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pennsylvania state troopers begin their investigation into the parents of the children in the house, after police note that doctors at the hospital state multiple times, that the little girl could have died as a result of the abuse and neglect. The doctors also say if she returns to her current environment she is likely to die of the abuse and neglect.
During the investigation, Weight and Frost's teenage nephew, who lived with them, describes how the young girl's mother would zip-tie her hands and feet, lock her naked in a cage and refuse to wash her. Frost would also starve the little girl, not feeding her for days at a time. The floor under the cage was rotting from feces and urine that was never cleaned.
WTAE reports that a 5-year-old child was interviewed and asked if anyone helped the girl clean up her poop and pee. The child responded, "They want her to eat it... my parents."
Jacob William Weight, 37, and 33-year-old Mimi Ann Frost are charged with child abuse, involuntary servitude, and strangulation among several other offenses. They are accused of starving their daughter while making sure their other children and dogs, had plenty to eat.

Childhood friends, Amber Shearer and Dongayla Dobson, have carried their friendship into adulthood with children of their own. At 31 years old, these two moms arrange a "No-Kids Trip" on the Carnival Cruise Ship Elation, where they will be on a 4-day cruise from Jacksonville Florida to the Bahamas.
Arriving in the Bahamas, Shearer and Dobson go on an excursion called "Pirate's Cove Beach Getaway". The pair want to collect some special sea shells to take home to their children. At Pirates Cove, a resort staffer offers the women a two-for-one drink deal. The women order, but say the drinks are much stronger than expected.
The moms decide to post a video to social media for friends and family, but immediately, Dongayla's mother, Frankie King, sees the video and calls her daughter.
King says the moms are not acting like themselves, giggling, laughing, all over the place. King asks how much they have had to drink and Dongayla says not much, she hasn't finished her first drink yet. After drinking the cocktails, the pair sets out to look for seashells on the beach when they say they are approached by a male resort staff member who tells them he knows a good place to find shells.
The staff member allegedly leads the women to an isolated area away from the main beach area. The next thing Shearer remembers is waking up in the middle of the alleged attack. Dobson says they were just conscious enough, or just aware enough, to know that their attackers were in uniforms.
Two hours after Frankie King talks to her daughter, King receives a text message from her daughter, it says, "Call us now, we've been drugged and raped." A Pirates Cove Staff member finds Amanda Shearer and Dongayla Dobson unconscious in a bathroom at the resort.
A nurse practitioner, Ladonna Batty, is on vacation on the same Carnival Cruise and is asked to assist the women. Shearer and Dobson know they have been assaulted and police are called.

A sketch of a possible suspect in the brutal Maryland murder of Rachel Morin has now been released.
DNA collected at the scene linked the suspect to another assault across the country in Los Angeles. A doorbell camera captures the suspect as the left the California home, but it didn't show the suspect's face. Working with a sketch artist, investigators interviewed the witnesses of the home invasion in Los Angeles, as well as witnesses in Maryland, especially around the Ma and Pa trail.
Some new information has been released about where Rachel Morin's body was found and where investigators believe her killer was hiding. Captain Andy Lane says there are drainage culverts along the trail, but most people wouldn't notice them because they are hidden by shrubbery and trees in the summertime. Standing at the scene, there is a bend in the trail near the hidden culverts.
Investigators believe the killer attacked Morin in the bend on the trail, then drug her body through the weeds, trees, and undergrowth to the culverts. That is where Rachel Morin was murdered.

Za'Riah's grandparents leave for work just before 8 a.m. on Friday. After 1 p.m., Mariah Thomas calls her mother at work, hysterically screaming something is wrong with the baby. Her mother tells her to call 911. Mariah Thomas reports her baby daughter is not breathing.
When Mariah Thomas' father comes home, he smells smoke and runs to the baby's crib. He sees that Baby Za'Riah looks burned. He picks her up, realizing his granddaughter is dead. Mariah Thomas says she was putting Za'Riah down for a nap and thought she put her in the crib, but accidentally put her in the oven.
First responders arrive to treat what they think is an infant who isn't breathing, but instead, they find the baby with what appears to be thermal injuries on various parts of her body. She is wearing a bodysuit over a diaper, but the clothing appears to have melted onto the diaper and it appears very dirty, possibly burned on the backside. A baby blanket with significant burn marks is found in the living room.
Thomas has been charged for allegedly placing her child in an oven, resulting in the death of the 1-month-old child. Mariah Thomas faces the Class A Felony of Endangering the Welfare of a Child in the First-degree, death of a child.

A popular Pasadena restaurant and nightclub has been dragged into a lawsuit filed against former General Hospital star Haley Pullos.
Pullos was allegedly drunk and high on pot when she caused a near-fatal car crash. The driver Pullos hit sustained a serious injury and she is now also suing the No Comment Lounge. She claims the 25-year-old actress was moonlighting in the bar that night and the actress was plied with booze and then allowed to drive herself home.
Pullos is now facing driving under the influence charges after her car flew over the dividing barrier, and into oncoming traffic. She careened off one car and collided head-on with another car, that was going about 60 mph.
Police reportedly recovered marijuana edibles and alcohol from the actress’ car. Firefighters had to use "the jaws of life" to free Pullos from her car. That's when the "General Hospital" actress lashed out at the responders shouting, “This is a $400 f**king shirt!”

In 1960, Lady Bird Lake was built by the city of Austin. The river-like reservoir was created as a cooling pond for Austin's then-new city power plant.
The 416-acre lake is now primarily used for recreation, but many in the area are now concerned is it the hunting ground for a killer. There have been 10 deaths reported since 2022: four in 2022, five in 2023, and one in the past few days.
Even though police have given no indication there are signs of foul play, social media has lit up with speculation. According to the San Antonio Current, rumors of a serial killer hunting young men and dumping their bodies in Lady Bird Lake ran rampant last April. That's when Police recovered the bodies of Jason John, Clifton Axtell, Jonathon Honey, and Christopher Hays-Clark — all between the ages of 20 and 40 and all recovered from Lady Bird Lake.
Reegan Aparicio says she has no doubts that her longtime boyfriend Chris Hays-Clark was placed in Lady Bird Lake. The dental nurse says despite police assurances that there was no foul play in Hays-Clark's death, she believes he was already dead when he went into the water.
That sentiment, according to DailyMail, is shared by others who have lost loved ones to the lake. Jason John’s parents also believe there is more to his disappearance and his former roommate believes he was drugged. Martin Gutierrez’s brother says he believes Martin was murdered in 2018.
Despite family concerns, Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon says, "Nothing has come to light that would indicate that there is a serial killer in Austin."
Aparicio says she believes the Austin Police Department is failing her and the other Lady Bird Lake victims' families.

Jennifer Crumbley becomes the first parent in the United States to be found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for a mass school shooting committed by her son, Ethan. She was convicted of four counts of involuntary manslaughter and faces a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison.
Prosecutors said Jennifer Crumbley knew her son was struggling with mental health issues. They alleged instead of getting him the help he needed, Jennifer and her husband, James Crumbley, bought Ethan the gun he later used in the attack.
The prosecution also showed the Crumbleys were attempting to flee when they realized they were going to be charged with the crime. James Crumbley faces the same charges as his wife, on March 5.

As the public becomes aware of Ella Jones's disappearance, the Mount Vernon Police Department receives information on a possible suspect's identity.
The person was already said to be a male named "Keith" possibly. Investigators also determined that Ella Jones may have used a "RideShare" service when she left her home. RideShare services are not prevalent in Ella Jones' area, so Mount Vernon Police were able to narrow the search and locate a rideshare Jones may have used. Investigators identified a man named "Keith" who ordered a ride share for Ella and his address in South Haven Michigan.
The FBI reaches out to Van Buren County Michigan Sherrif's department about a possible suspect named Keith Freerksen with an address in South Haven Michigan possibly being involved in the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl in Mt Vernon, Washington.
Van Buren County Sheriff Daniel Abbott says his detectives investigated the possible suspect location and identified the car suspected of transporting the 14-year-old girl 2,000 miles from Washington to Michigan. After obtaining a search warrant, Sheriff Abbott says they waited for the suspect vehicle to return to the property before executing the search warrants.
Sheriff Abbott says as the detectives watched the property, they noticed there were three homes on the property and several people were seen in the residences. The suspect was identified as one of the people in one of the residences on the property. Detectives coordinate with the local uniformed police officers in marked cars to roll in with them and execute the search warrant.
Having executed the search warrant, all individuals on the property were separated so detectives could begin the interview process. The suspect immediately told detectives the 14-year-old girl was there on the property. Once the suspect was read his Miranda rights, he lawyered up and stopped talking
The suspect is 30-year-old Keith Freerksen, a convicted sex offender. Sheriff Daniel Abbott says the Freerksen spoke with and groomed the victim online over an extended period before she took a ride share to the suspect's home in Michigan.
Keith Freerksen was arraigned on nine charges: two counts of trafficking a minor, three counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a minor, one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of accosting a child for immoral purposes, and two counts of using a computer to commit a crime. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack will tell the story of a murder and why the man convicted of the murder will be put to death in a very unique way. Kenneth Eugene Smith was convicted of the 1988 murder-for-hire of Elizabeth Sennett. Pastor Charles Sennett recruited Billy Gray Williams to kill his wife Elizabeth and Williams hired John Forrest Parker and Kenneth Eugene Smith to carry out the murder. A week after the murder the Charles Sennett confessed to his family then shot himself in the head. Williams, Parker, and Smith were arrested and charged and convicted. Williams was sentenced to life and died in prison in 2020. Parker and Smith were sentenced to death. Parker was executed by lethal injection in 2010. Smith was scheduled to be executed in November of 2022 but the execution team was unable to connect the intravenous lines before time ran out. After much debate, the state agreed not to try lethal injection again on Smith but would instead use a method of execution, Nitrogen Hypoxia. Joseph Scott Morgan will explain what it is and why it is being tried for the first time...ever.

In court, mom Nancy Iskander breaks down as photos taken by a witness to the brutal hit and run of her sons are shown in court. Iskander breaks into tears after calling out her son's name, then runs out of the courtroom.
Just after 7 pm, on a September evening, Jacob and Mark Iskander, their siblings, and parents go for an evening stroll to a nearby lake. The 6 member family is crossing in a crosswalk at a three-way intersection when mother Nancy hears a speeding car barreling their way. The mom says her husband and daughter were father away from the street. She tries to signal to the two SUVs to slow down. She tries to pull the children back, only managing to grab 1 of them and dive out of the way. Jacob and Mark are hit. Mark Iskander dies at the scene. Jacob dies later at the hospital. According to police, Mark was thrown 254 feet.
Nancy Iskander tells police that two SUVs were "zig-zagging with each other as if they were playing or racing.” She says the drivers didn’t stop, at the intersection, not even when the 11-year-old was on the hood of the car. Deputies reportedly catch up with a white Mercedes with significant front-end damage a third of a mile from the scene. Behind the wheel is Rebecca Grossman. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's department says they believe that vehicle was traveling over 80 miles an hour. Grossman’s breathalyzer test after the crash showed a blood-alcohol content of 0.076% according to local news reports. The legal limit in California is 0.08%. A blood sample taken three hours after the crash registered at the 0.08% mark.
Rebecca Grossman is charged with two felony counts each of second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, and one felony count of hit-and-run driving resulting in death. Grossman has pleaded not guilty.

Chad O'Melia and Bryn Spejcher are hanging out at O'Melia's home when a roommate comes home but goes to take a shower.
He starts hearing noises downstairs and when he hears the sounds of things breaking, he takes a look. The roommate sees furniture toppled, the couch is flipped over and covered in blood, and O'Melia is severely wounded. O'Melia begs for help.
Bryn Spejcher has attacked Chad O'Melia in a pot-induced rage. When police arrive they find Chad O'Melia dead from over 100 stab wounds, and Bryn Spejcher crying and screaming hysterically. The bloody knife is still in her hands. As officers try to disarm her, Spejcher plunges the knife into her own neck. Officers use a Taser and several baton blows before they can disarm Spejcher finally.
Bryn Spejcher is charged with murder with special allegations of using a deadly weapon, a crime involving great violence, violent conduct that indicates a danger to society, and being armed with and using a weapon in the commission of the crime.
Spejcher posts bail and remains out on bail over the next 5-years of delays to allow for hearings and experts to provide studies. Prosecutors reduced the charge to involuntary manslaughter after their expert psychologist agreed with defense experts that Spejcher was suffering from cannabis-induced psychosis when she stabbed O’Melia to death.
When the case finally gets to trial there is no argument about whether Bryn Spejcher killed Chad O’Melia or if her psychosis was legitimate. During the trial, the LA Times reports, a medical expert testifies that Spejcher’s behavior is the result of cannabis-induced psychosis
. According to the National Library of Medicine, a diagnosis of the disorder is given when hallucinations or delusions materialize shortly after consuming cannabis. According to the VC Star, Spejcher's defense attorneys claim that their client was "involuntarily intoxicated," and that O'Melia had allegedly bullied and intimidated her into smoking the last bit of marijuana.
A jury finds Bryn Spejcher guilty of involuntary manslaughter in a killing triggered by cannabis psychosis, but Ventura County Superior Court Judge David Worley announced Spejcher would be sentenced to two years probation and a suspended prison sentence of four years.

There will be no new double murder trial for Alex Murdaugh, even though one juror says her vote was influenced by comments made by Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill.
According to Juror Z, “She made it seem like he was already guilty.”
Hill allegedly made comments such as "watch him closely" and "watch his body language." During Juror Z's testimony, she was asked by Judge Jean Toal if her verdict was based entirely on the testimony, evidence, and law presented in this case. The juror answered yes.
She was also asked if she heard Becky Hill make any comment about this case before your verdict. Again Juror Z answered yes, and that the comments influenced her decision. Prosecutor Creighton Waters that in her affidavit the juror had responded "I voted guilty because I felt pressured by the other jurors."
After hearing all the testimony, Judge Toal ruled that the defense did not show that Hill's improper comment or question actually influenced the juror's verdict.

A 33-year-old Seattle man arrested three times in five days at or near Taylor Swift's New York apartment. David Crowe's latest arrest came just two hours after he was in court for stalking her home. Crowe first appeared at the McDonald's two blocks away from Swift's New York City townhouse. Then a witness says Crowe eased his way back down to Swift's building and was seen looking in a dumpster. Then Crowe sat down on the loading dock a few doors down from Swift's apartment. Someone who recognized Crowe called 911.
Police arrested Crowe on a criminal contempt charge, due to the fact an order of protection had just been issued during his arraignment on two counts of harassment and two counts of stalking.
David Crowe has been in New York for at least the last few months. The New York Post reports prosecutors revealed that Crowe has staked out Taylor Swift's townhouse thirty times in the past two months. And his recent arrest spree began Saturday afternoon when police got a 911 call about a "disorderly person" trying to open the door to Taylor Swift's townhouse.
This is not the first time Taylor Swift has dealt with a stalker. Last summer, Westerly Rhode Island Police Chief Paul Gingerella said a woman who had previously been warned to stay away from Taylor Swift's home in Rhode Island was arrested outside the beachfront property. A Florida man broke into Swift's home in New York City in 2018. He was sentenced to jail after pleading guilty to criminal contempt and attempted burglary. That was followed up in 2019 by an Iowa man who said he just wanted to meet the singer. He was arrested near her beachfront mansion carrying a crowbar and lock picks. A few months after that experience, a man from New Jersey was caught inside her home.

The Connecticut State Police believe Fotis Dulos attacked Jennifer Dulos at her New Canaan home, killed her, and then tried to dispose of the evidence in trash bins around Hartford.
Michelle Troconis was with Dulos during the time he was dumping trash bags. Her attorney, Jon Schoehorn, says Troconis told police multiple times that she was on her phone, unaware of what her boyfriend was doing. The jury has now seen that recovered evidence, retrieved from the trash.
Connecticut State Police Sgt. Kevin Duggan testified about what was found in the trash bins and the process used for finding them. He described how the items were taken from the trash bin, the contents spread out, photographed, and then placed into an investigator trash bag. The items were then taken for analysis.
One of the items recovered from the trash bins was a bra with what appears to be blood stains. The bra's back clasp was still connected, but the front had been cut. A long-sleeved shirt is shown. It too, looks like it has bloodstains on it and has been cut in much the same way the blood-stained bra.
Duggan also testifies that officers uncovered zip ties, plastic ponchos, a white t-shirt, a bath towel, black gloves, a screwdriver, and a box cutter, and all appeared to have blood-like stains.

A 1-year-old child dies after being fed water beads, batteries, and acetone.
Aleisia Owens, 21, the girlfriend of the baby Iris' father, has been arrested for intentionally feeding the child harmful items. According to police, the child died of organ failure, a result of acetone poisoning.
The baby's mother first took the girl to the hospital, after changing her diaper and finding "water beads." Over the next few days, Iris passes about 20 water beads. She also passes 3 button-shaped batteries and a metal screw. After 4 days, the baby can go home with her mother.
Pennsylvania Child Youth Services, CYS, inspects both parents' homes and, according to Newsweek, finds no issue at either residence. Iris lives with her mother full-time, but she continues to visit her dad at his house where Bailey Jacoby lives with his girlfriend, Aleisia Lynnae Owens.
During a weekend visitation at her father's house, Bailey Jacoby goes to the grocery store, leaving Iris with his live-in girlfriend. As he prepares to check out at the grocery store, Owens calls Jacoby and tells him that something is wrong with Iris, she isn't acting like herself, and she is unresponsive.
Jacoby tells Owens to call 911. Emergency responders note that Iris is breathing but with a fixed gaze and weak response. She's transported to the hospital and she dies four days later.
The homicide investigation heats up when investigators discovered Bailey Jacoby's live-in girlfriend, the last person to be with Iris alone, Aleisia Lynnae Owens, had been researching online the harm that water beads and batteries can cause children before the child ingesting the items. The Attorney General's Office confirms that Owens also conducted online research into household items that could cause serious harm or death to children.
Forensic extractions of Owen's cell phone show she searched online for topics such as,
Another search on Owens’ phone reads,
During the days while Iris Alfera was in the hospital as well as the day after she passed away, investigators discovered numerous online searches conducted on Aleisia Owen's phone for information on how to pass a polygraph test.

Months after the body of Rachel Morin is found along a trail the Ma & Pa Trail, her killer is still a mystery.
DNA found at the crime scene matched to a home invasion in Los Angeles 5 months earlier, but investigators are still not sure who the DNA belongs to. The only evidence made public is a video of the man they believe is the suspect, seen leaving the home invasion scene in LA.
But now, WMAR 2 reports that investigators are following up a lead in Washington DC. Police aren't calling the person a suspect, but the hope is this person can point them in the right direction.
Morin's family is turning to all options in trying to bring this killer to justice. They are working with profiler Pat Brown to provide more information about the possible suspect in Morin's murder. The possible suspect is Hispanic and appeared to be in his early to mid-20s. He stands around 5 foot 9 and weighs about 160 pounds.
Brown says this person is likely narcissistic, lacks empathy, is manipulative, and a pathological liar.
The family has also created a flyer using still images from the doorbell camera footage of the suspect sending out 10,000 flyers to homes and schools near the LA crime scene.
Morin Family attorney, Randolph Rice, tells CBS News the reason the family is reaching out to schools in Los Angeles is the suspect could have been in high school as early as two years ago. They are hoping a teacher who taught him and saw him every single day during the school year will recognize the suspect.

Sheriff Burch said more female students may be involved.
Now the pair have returned to the US and have married according to a marriage license. Crow is no longer a member of the clergy. His privileges of the priesthood have been revoked.

The long-awaited trial of Michelle Troconis got underway with prosecutors presenting evidence from the day Jennifer Farber Dulos went missing.
The first person to testify in the case was Lieutenant Aaron LaTourette, New Canaan Police Department. He was the first patrol officer on the scene and the first person to notice possible blood in the garage. Talking to another officer wearing a body cam, LaTourette is heard talking about the possibility the vehicle hit a deer, but didn't see anything indicating there had been that type of event.
The jury watched 20 minutes of the footage of LaTourette and Officer Black of the New Canaan Police Department walking through the home and focusing on parts of the garage where officers believe they see what appears to be blood stains on the floor and a black SUV. The officers are also seen looking through Jennifer Dulos' purse. The nanny, Lauren Almeida, tells police it is unusual for Jennifer's purse to be in the house when she isn't home.
It was the nanny who called the police in May of 2019, the night Jennifer Dulos disappeared. Lauren Almeida has now testified about witnessing the marriage go from one of love and fun and trust to one of fear and intimidation after Fotis Dulos admitted to an affair.
Almeida told the jury how she helped Jennifer Dulos secretly move her things out of the house over a while so as not to alarm Fotis Dulos. Almeida began as a part-time babysitter for the Dulos children in 2012 and eventually became their full-time nanny.
On the stand, Almeida can tell the jury about the day Jennifer Dulos vanished. Jennifer Dulos dropped her children off at school and was never seen again. Her body has never been found.
Almeida says the big change in the relationship between Jennifer and Fotis Dulos was during a vacation in March 2017. After a week in Aspen skiing in the snow, the family spent a week in Miami skiing in the water. In Miami, Jennifer Dulos tells the nanny, that Fotis Dulos is having an affair and she has proof. Almeida says she doesn't believe it at first, but over the next few months, everything changed.
Jennifer Dulos has found receipts from when Fotis Dulos went to Utah on a trip with Troconis and another couple and emails confirming the relationship. Almeida is convinced to help Jennifer Dulos secretly move items out of the house because she fears what Fotis Dulos would do to her or the kids if she filed for divorce while they were living under the same roof.

Alex Murdaugh’s three-day evidentiary hearing takes place later this month.
The hearings will held in open court and court-controlled television cameras will be allowed. They cannot, however, focus on the faces of testifying jurors, who will be referred to by their juror numbers, not their names. The hearing will determine whether Murdaugh will be granted a new murder trial, after his attorneys, alleged jury tampering by Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca “Becky” Hill.
Former S.C. Chief Justice Jean Toal is now the judge hearing the case. She took control of her South Carolina courtroom -, making several rulings affecting Alex Murdaugh’s bid. His attorneys say jury tampering by Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill impacted the original trial’s outcome, and that according to Toal, will be the defense’s burden to prove. The attorneys argued the law only required them to prove improper contact with jurors had occurred.
Toal says she will rule that, “Prejudice must be proved, not presumed.”
Toal says the stand she will take on the specific evidence of ”what was said, when it was said, and how it impacted the jury,” lies with the defense, not an assumption on Becky Hill’s credibility. Toal told the courtroom that she would not allow the upcoming evidentiary hearing to turn into a trial of Becky Hill.
Becky Hill is facing her own ongoing ethics and criminal investigations related to her conduct during and after the Murdaugh trial. The judge says she intends to limit the witness list to the twelve deliberating jurors and Becky Hill.
An alternate juror and Juror 785, now known as the “egg lady” due to her insistence that she retrieve a dozen eggs from the jury room before leaving the courthouse, will not be allowed to testify. Toal says she sees “no necessity” to hear from anyone other than the (deliberating) jurors.”
What's more, Toal says she will be the one asking the questions.

Maintenance workers at a Houston apartment complex, get a service call for a non-working dishwasher.
As they make repairs, a child can be heard crying, inconsolably, in another room. The workers find a toddler, lying on the living room floor under a blanket. Lifting the blanket, the 2-year-old child’s limbs are duct-taped together. The workers take photos and videos, leave the apartment, and call Houston police.
Police take the girl to the hospital, where doctors say she might not have survived the night, had she not been brought in for care. KPRC reports the child was determined to be non-verbal and suffering from physical abuse as well as psychological abuse and neglect. Doctors discovered she also suffered a brain bleed caused by head trauma, anemia, and kidney failure as a result of the abuse.
Even though she is two years old, the victim is so malnourished, and her weight is equivalent to that of an average 1-year-old.
Child Protective Services meets with the adults and five other children living in the apartment. The biological mother of the 2-year-old girl lives in another state and left her daughter in the care of the child’s 27-year-old cousin, Toniesha Deshae Perkins. Perkins claims the other children living in the apartment often tie up the toddler and themselves.
Houston Police interview the other children in the home. They say the girl sleeps on the floor and regularly removes the tape from her arms, legs, and mouth. The children say the toddler "gets popped" when she does, and a lock has been put on the refrigerator to prevent the little one from accessing food.
Three adults living in the apartment, Toniesha Deshae Perkins, Perkins' boyfriend, 23-year-old Kenry Fluker, and the toddler’s 17-year-old aunt, Mya Jhari Breaux-McGruder, are now charged with injury to a child and unlawful restraint of a person under 17.

Nicholas Alahverdian’s obituary appeared on a memorial site called Ever Loved. It detailed how the man, who grew up in foster care became a Harvard Graduate and a vocal critic of Rhode Island’s childcare system after suffering sexual abuse as a child. It also detailed how Alahverdian died of Hodgin’s Lymphoma at 32 years old, leaving behind a wife and two young children who remained at his bedside as he died.
Alahverdian’s death was a lie, an elaborate scheme created by Nicholas Rossi, a man charged with sexually assaulting a former girlfriend in Orem, Utah as well as multiple complaints against him in Rhode Island for alleged domestic violence. David Rossi, the stepfather says at an early age Nicholas would hit his mother, grandmother, and siblings, and wouldn't listen in school. Alahverdian was placed in psychiatric care.
Nicholas Alahverdian, using the name Rossi, was accused of assaulting a young woman he met at Sinclair Community College in Ohio. The two had lunch together. Alahverdian offered to walk the co-ed to her next class. The coed claims Alahverdian then pinned her against a wall in a basement, groped her, and masturbated.
Alahverdian apologized and asked the girl not to tell anybody. She made a police report and Alahverdian, aka Rossi, was convicted of public indecency and sexual imposition, and was required to register as a sex offender.
Two years later, police are called to an apartment in Rhode Island. Officers can hear arguing and screaming. When a woman comes to the door, she has marks on her face neck, and left eye and her right eye is swelling.
The woman tells police she and Alahverdian were arguing and when she tried to leave he slapped her in the face. Police arrest Alahverdian who proclaims his innocence and begins banging his head on the bars in the back of the squad car. Officers have to use pepper spray to make him stop trying to hurt himself. Alahverdian pleads no-contest to domestic simple assault.
Testing reveals Alahverdian's DNA is present in a rape case, and other allegations have already been lodged. Fraud charges also land in Alahverdian's lap, and this is when he fakes his death and heads overseas.
The death of Nicholas Alahverdian is met with skepticism. Alahverdian's foster mother Sharon Lane said she was contacted by Alahverdian's biological mother. The minute Sharon Lane read the obituary, she believed it was written by Alahverdian himself.
Utah authorities continued investigating the first rape allegation against Nicholas Alahverdian and issued a warrant for his arrest seven months after he supposedly died. An FBI search of Alahverdian’s iCloud account and cell phone records led investigators to Scotland.
As investigations were looking for Nicholas Alahverdian and Nichols Rossi in the United States, a man named Arthur Knight was being treated for Covid-19 at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow. He had been living a happy new life, married a woman named Miranda, and worked as a tutor, but then he suffered a serious case of pneumonitis, caused by Covid-19.
Someone recognized him through his distinctive tattoos. They were a match to those from a Pawtucket police booking photo of him. In December 2021, they arrested the convicted sex offender in the Glasgow hospital.
Authorities say Knight was just one of Alahverdian’s 16 known aliases, which include Nicholas Rossi, Nicholas Brown, Arthur Brown, and Arthur Knight-Brown.
Nicholas Alahverdian fought extradition back to the US. For over two years, Alahverdian exhausted every legal avenue available in the UK. Ultimately the courts ruled he was a wanted fugitive and agreed to the United States’ request to send him home.

School shooter Ethan Crumbley opened fire in a Michigan school, killing four students.
He pled guilty to all charges and is now serving life in prison. His parents, James and Jennifer Crumpley, are also charged with involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors say they should have been aware of their son's mental health and should not have made it possible for him to have access to weapons.
The parents' trials are expected to begin later this month, but now Jennifer Crumbley has asked a judge to dismiss three witnesses who say their testimony could prejudice a jury.
A judge has ruled, however, that two of the witnesses will be allowed to testify, with a narrow focus. The jury will also be allowed to see surveillance video from the school.

January 31, 2013, a 911 call comes in: the caller tells the operator that a man has been shot.
Around 9 a.m., five shots were fired and seconds later, 3 more shots were fired. Police arrived at the crime scene swiftly and find the chief assistant district attorney for the Kaufman County Criminal District Attorney's Office Mark Hasse bleeding. No traces were left at the crime scene, not even a bullet casing.
The only evidence is eyewitnesses. One witness said the shooter was completely dressed in black, and after firing the shots, jumped into the back seat of the white sedan and disappeared. Another witness, according to Medium.com, said he heard Hasse shouting loudly “No, no, I’m sorry.”
Hasse dies. Just two months after, Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse is gunned down.
Kaufman County Criminal District Attorney Mike McLelland, and his wife, Cynthia McLelland, plan an Easter dinner for friends and family. Dallas police officer CJ Tomlinson is a family friend, and his mother is supposed to drop off vegetables for Cynthia McLelland to prepare for dinner. When she doesn't get the McLellands on the phone, she asks her son to check on the couple.
Tomlinson and his stepfather go to the McLelland home. The front door is open and shell casings are on the entryway floor. Mike and Cynthia McLelland, both have been shot dead. One of the shots was directly into Cynthia McLelland's head. Tomlinson describes the scene as a "home invasion" style assault.
Mark Hasse and Mark McLelland acted as prosecutors in former judge Eric Williams' felony theft Case. That history put him on the police radar. When officers checked his internet search history, they found that Williams had been actively searching for information on Mark Hasse and Mike McLelland.
Documents were found on a white sedan, issued in a false name, and the login and password for an account that had been leaving anonymous messages for police about the murders were found, but there was not enough evidence to charge him with the murders.
Then came a break. An acquaintance of Eric Williams’ says that he had been asked to rent a garage in his name. Police find the white sedan in the garage, as well as police uniforms, badges, weapons, and even homemade napalm. There were also more than 30 guns, but there was no weapon matching the one that shot the victims.
And there was still one question to be answered: If the suspect jumped into the back seat to speed away from the crime scene, who was driving?
Kim Williams was driving. She was Eric Williams' wife. She confesses to the police. The pair are convicted. Eric Williams gets the death penalty, which he has appealed repeatedly.

Jennifer Dulos and Fotis Dulos marry in 2004.
Thirteen years later, the marriage fails, and the couple file for divorce. The circumstances are anything but amiable. Hundreds of motions are filed during the two-year proceedings.
In 2017, Jennifer Dulos files for an emergency order for full custody of their five children. She alleges that her husband's behavior is "irrational, unsafe, bullying, threatening and controlling. She says she is afraid for not only her safety but the physical and emotional well-being of the children.
Moving forward to the Friday before Memorial Day, Jennifer Dulos drops her children off at school near her New Canaan Connecticut home. She had an 11 a.m. appointment that morning, which she missed. No one hears from her for 10 hours.
That night, Jennifer Dulos is reported missing by her family and friends, and the search begins.
When investigators arrived at Jennifer Dulos’ home, blood stains were visible not only on the garage floor but garbage cans and a car parked in the garage. The car in the garage was not the Chevy Suburban the mom was known to drive. Police initiated a search for her vehicle.
A little over an hour later and just three miles from the home, officers find the abandoned Suburban by Waveny Park. It contains blood evidence too.
Back at the home, investigators determine that someone tried to clean the concrete floor. Officers canvas the park, hand out fliers, use canines, and do aerial searches. And most dramatically, perform video searches of local CCTV cameras.
Surveillance cameras capture a man appearing to be Fotis Dulos disposing of garbage bags in as many as 30 receptacles in the area. A woman can be seen in the passenger seat of the man's car.
Police recover clothes and household items with Jennifer Dulos' blood on it, in trash cans around Hartford. Specifically, the bags contained women’s clothing, plastic zip-ties, and a white T-shirt; all of the items were stained.
Police also find a stained utility knife, a bath towel, and cleaning items such as a kitchen sponge.
The woman in the vehicle with Fotis Dulos is identified as his live-in girlfriend Michelle Troconis. Police search warrants say Michelle Troconis identified photos of the surveillance videos as Fotis Dulos and admitted that she was the woman pictured.
She confirmed multiple stops were made to discard bags, but she denies knowing what was in them.
Fotis Dulos and Troconis, 44, are arrested, and charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and hindering prosecution. They both pleaded not guilty.

As Bryan Kohberger’s defense team tries again to get a judge to toss out the indictment against Kohberger, the home where the four murders took place is now gone.
The clapboard house located at 1122 King Road, Moscow has been torn down, with the entire front of the building razed from sight in roughly 15 minutes. According to school officials, demolition was set for during the school's winter break, when fewer students would be in the area. It took just 90 minutes in total, for the home to become a pile of rubble.
The debris, loaded up by two contractors, was taken to a secret area for disposal. The site was combed for not a single item to be left behind for the curious to find and keep as a macabre souvenir. One local who wished to remain anonymous said 'They want nothing left for ghouls to plunder.'
Some, however, are still concerned that the best evidence in this case is now gone. The home was scanned using 3D imaging to allow the jury to be brought into the home and take a virtual tour where they wouldn't have been able to go.
The families of the four students killed in the house on King Road were not in agreement on the demolition. The Goncalves and Kernodle families issued a statement before the demolition, asking the university to wait to tear the building down until Kohberger's trial is completed.
The Goncalves' family said through their attorney, that the house “has evidentiary and emotional value."
In the statement, Goncalves wrote, "The family has stressed tirelessly to the Prosecution and the University of Idaho the importance (evidentiary and emotionally) that the King Road house carries but nobody seems to care enough."
She adds that the “families' opinion isn't a priority.”
The family of Ethan Chapin, who did not live there, offered its support for the demolition. In their statement, the Chapins said the demolition was needed "for the good of the University, its students (including our own kids), and the community of Moscow."

A woman calls police saying that she has been held prisoner for five years, by a man who offered to help her at a time when she was panhandling.
Police first made contact with her in April of 2023. Using the texting app TextNow, she called 911. According to KPRC, police rescued the woman from the garage. Reportedly, the approximately 30-year-old victim weighed about 70 pounds and according to officers, looked extremely malnourished and filthy. She stated she had not showered in two months. I
Investigators went inside the garage and found a broken toilet, a dirty mattress covered in fresh vomit, a box of chips, a few Twinkies, clothes, and diapers. The woman told police there was no shower in the garage, so she would be taken inside the home from time to time. Police took the woman to the hospital for treatment, but reports say the man showed up and took her back to his home.
The suspect has been identified as Lee Carter, a Houston rapper known as "The Viper." His 2008 song, “You’ll Cowards Don’t Even Smoke Crack,” garnered over 4 million views on YouTube. Reportedly he is also a real estate broker.
According to corporate records and the Texas Real Estate Commission, he owns and operates a moving company in Houston. That company is registered to the address where he allegedly held the woman. Fox News reports a warrant was filed against Carter in April, but his arrest at a local motel did not happen until the last few days.
Carter, 52, has been charged with aggravated kidnapping. Officials have not given a reason for the nine-month gap between the April incident and the arrest. It is unknown what happened with the victim's pregnancy while she was held captive.

June 16, 2008: the last day 2-year-old Caylee Anthony is seen alive.
One month later, her grandmother Cindy Anthony franticly calls 911 to report her granddaughter is missing. Casey Anthony claims that a babysitter kidnapped her daughter. By October, when nothing Casey tells police turns out to be true, she is arrested and charged with Caylee's death, even though Caylee is still missing.
On December 11, Caylee's remains are found in a garbage bag, dumped in a wooded area near the Anthony home. Eight days later, Caylee's death is ruled a homicide. Prosecutors announce they will seek the death penalty against her.
At Casey Anthony's trial, her lawyer first made claims that George Anthony was molesting his daughter and that he staged Caylee's death to look like a drowning to cover up that he may have been abusing his granddaughter as well.
Those claims, made again after Casey Anthony is acquitted of the death, have haunted the Anthonys for years.
Now, George and Cindy Anthony agree to take a lie detector test in front of cameras for the A&E network special "Casey Anthony's Parents: The Lie Detector Test."
What happened when he is asked if he had anything to do with Caylee's death?

More than two years shy of her 10-year sentence, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is free.
Blanchard was convicted of second-degree murder after she admitted to having her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, kill her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Now she is out from behind bars at the Chillicothe Correctional Center.
Dee Dee Blanchard is believed to have suffered from Munchausen by proxy — which caused forcing her daughter to use a wheelchair and subjecting her to unnecessary medical treatments, all to foster attention to Dee Dee herself. Before the murder, Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s mother allegedly isolated her and tied her to a bed to stop her from escaping.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is now married and picked up from prison by her husband. Her book, “Released: Conversations on the Eve of Freedom," is expected to come out on January 9.

Around 11:45 a.m., two days before Christmas, a 911 call is made to the San Diego Police Department.
Out-of-town visitors find a badly decomposed body inside a chest freezer. The case is turned over to the homicide unit. San Diego police say due to the frozen condition of the body, the only thing they can confirm is that the corpse is female.
During our broadcast, it's announced that the body has been identified as Mary Margaret Haxby-Jones. She would have been 81 years old at the time her remains were found. It's believed that she lived at the home at some point. She may have been missing or dead for up to nine years.
SDPD says no missing report was ever filed for her. Police say the out-of-town visitors were not related to Haxby-Jones. Instead, they are related to someone currently living at the residence. The Medical Examiner's Office is working to determine the cause of death.
And again, the body did not have any obvious traumatic injuries.

Just after midnight, Kimberlee Singler, 35, calls 911 to report a home break-in.
She tells police that two of her children have been murdered. The police response report says Officers found "an adult female and an 11-year-old female who had sustained injuries," as well as a 9-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy who were "deceased at the scene."
Singler’s third child, an 11-year-old daughter, was transported to a local hospital for treatment. She's hospitalized for a few days and then released. Singler is also treated for minor injuries.
As police investigate the reported burglary, Singler works with officers, giving statements about what happened. Then police determined the burglary report was unfounded, and presented evidence to obtain a warrant for Singler's arrest, but the mom is nowhere to be found. Since she was not a suspect, Singler was not under surveillance, and by the time she needed to be, she was gone.
Police uncover an ongoing legal battle between the mom and her ex-husband Kevin Wentz. Wentz’s attorneys say their contentious divorce and custody dispute has been going on for over five years. Just three months ago, Kimberlee Singler filed a request for a temporary protection order in El Paso County. She claims Kevin Wentz waved a knife at her. Wentz denies the allegations.
Two months later, in a different jurisdiction, a Larimer County court held a hearing on Singler's emergency motion to restrict parenting time over the same allegations about the knife. The court rescinded the order finding there was no imminent threat from Wentz. The court ordered that the children have additional time with their father, Kevin Wentz, around Thanksgiving and again from December 16 through December 31.
It was arranged for the child exchanges to take place at a police station in Colorado Springs and the Greely Police Station. When Singler failed to show up with the children, Wentz's attorney filed an emergency motion to law enforcement for assistance to enforce parenting time. The Court granted the motion. Wentz was awarded custody.
The Colorado Springs police investigation led to the charges against Kimberlee Singler. On December 26th, investigators established probable cause and obtained an arrest warrant for Kimberlee Singler on multiple charges, including 2 counts – Murder in the First Degree, Class One Felony, 1 count – Criminal Attempt – Murder in the First Degree Child Abuse, and Assault in the First Degree.
Details of the arrest warrant are currently sealed under court order and are expected to be unsealed at a later time. Singler was arrested in London and is fighting her extradition.

His mother, Dejuane Ludie, accused in his death, is still at large. Investigators say the little boy died from an electrolyte imbalance. The medical examiner says that the imbalance was most likely due to a “viral gastroenteritis” caused by excessive vomiting or diarrhea. Toxicology tests came back negative and the boy had no severe injuries. Police do not believe the boy was alive when he was placed inside the suitcase.
A mushroom hunter found the hardshell suitcase, which features the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign. The boy's mother posted online that she believed the child was really a 100-year-old demon.
Another suspect, 40-year-old Dawn Elaine Coleman of Shreveport, Louisiana, who had been traveling with mother Dejaune Ludie Anderson was arrested and convicted. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in Cairo's death. She has been sentenced to 30 years in prison, with five years of that sentence suspended to probation.

The girls walked to a combination bait shop, restaurant, and convenience store called "The Furnace" to pick up some snacks. Witnesses report seeing the girls talking to someone in a blue pickup truck. That’s the last time anyone has seen the sisters.
In the days that followed, local law enforcement labeled the sisters as runaways. A hiker then called the police after smelling a foul odor.
Deputies discovered the girls’ bodies about 75 feet apart, along with shotgun shells and a light blue stain found on a tree. The autopsy revealed a shotgun killed the girls, but their bodies were too decomposed to reveal if they’d been sexually assaulted.

Rand Hooper and Graham McCormick are both from the Richmond area.
McCormick moved to Atlanta for a job but took time to return to Irvington to visit his friend, staying with him at his home. The next day, Sallie Graham gets a text from Hooper asking if she’s heard from her son, if not, then he is missing. Graham says her son was known for his responsibility, as signified by his fraternity nickname... Grahampa, a reference to maturity.
Graham asks about a search to find McCormick, searching the water, checking with neighbors in town, and more. The answer: He's not there.
McCormick’s mother, father and brother drive from their home as they learn McCormick was missing. Graham checks by the dock, where her son was last known to be, using an oar to poke and prod at the water. From there, Graham knocks on neighbors’ doors, then returns to the Hoopers. Soon, a neighbor tells Sallie Graham, a body had been found.
Graham McCormick’s body is found floating in Carter Creek off the Rappahannock River around 11:30 that morning, around two miles north of the Hooper’s home. The State Medical Examiner ruled that McCormick died from drowning, blunt-force trauma a contributing factor in the death.
Three days after the initial visit to the home, Lancaster sheriff’s detectives spot damage to the Hooper family boat. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries reconstructed a crash and determined the boat had been involved in an accident near where McCormick’s body was found. The investigation reveals that McCormick and Hooper spent the evening drinking, then took Hooper’s 1999 Boston Whaler boat out.
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries concluded that the vessel struck a bulkhead jutting out of the water near where McCormick was found. Investigators believe McCormick was ejected from the boat. Police say it appeared that it had been slammed against the rocks, over and over again. McCormick had lacerations on the left side of his head and the back of his body, and blunt-force trauma.
The medical examiner concluded that the injuries alone would not have killed the 31-year-old McCormick. Those injuries should have been survivable, she said. However, McCormick’s blood alcohol level was 186.
It would be three years before Rand Hooper would face additional charges in Graham McCormick’s death. Initially, Hooper was charged with a misdemeanor count of failing to make a timely report of the boat accident.
Those charges were upgraded to involuntary manslaughter with a proposed deal of just one year in prison, but a special prosecutor determined that more charges were appropriate as Hooper was accused of operating his boat while intoxicated, leading to a crash that killed McCormick.
Hooper was arrested and charged with felony murder, involuntary manslaughter while under the influence operating a watercraft, and failure to stop and assist with serious injury or death.

On August 31, a Quality of Life staff member finds a 73-year-old male patient convulsing in his bed.
With no history of seizures and according to his medical chart, he was given medication ten minutes before the seizures began. The Post Gazette reports the man is rushed to Butler Hospital, where doctors discover hypoglycemia behind the seizures, but the patient is not diabetic.
Treating doctors believe the only way this patient's blood sugar could have plummeted to that extent is if someone had given him a massive dose of insulin. The attending physician gets the man stabilized and he recovers.
About six weeks after the 73-year-old man ends up in the hospital after having seizures, another resident, a 55-year-old, is admitted to the hospital to be treated for a urinary tract infection. While in the hospital, nurses discover he too, is hypoglycemic.
His blood sugar is stabilized. Nearly 4 weeks after leaving the hospital, the 55-year-old male patient is back at Butler Memorial Hospital, his blood sugar so abnormally low that medical staff are suspicious.
WTAE Reports Investigators say the man's pre-existing medical conditions would prevent him from administering the insulin himself, it would have to be done by someone else. Three hours later his 83-year-old suitemate at Quality of Life Services is admitted with the same symptoms, hypoglycemia. Both men ultimately die.
While the initial investigation was sparked by suspicions of improper administration of insulin as the cause of the untimely deaths of two patients, coworkers sent the inquiry in a co-worker's direction, Heather Pressdee.
Heather Pressdee, 40, is now facing charges of homicide, attempted murder, aggravated assault, neglect of a care-dependent person, and reckless endangerment in connection with the deaths of a 55--year-old man and an 83-year-old man, as well as the injury of a 73-year-old man. The Attorney General has said 17 patients cared for by Pressdee, died.

A shocked courtroom heard Derek Rosa tell police he stabbed his mother to death in her sleep as his baby sister slept next to her in the bed.
After hearing the teen's taped confession, Miami Dade Circuit Judge Richard Hersch rejected a defense motion to move Rosa out of the adult jail and into a juvenile facility. The defense says it is unconstitutional to keep Rosa in an adult cell, claiming he is being kept in unsustainable conditions and is only allowed outside the cell for 20 hours a week.
After rejecting the motion, the judge orders Rosa to be held in the Miami-Dade Metro West Detention Center until his unscheduled trial begins.
Reportedly, the night Derek Rosa stabs his mother to death, he makes six Google searches including,
He also searched for an image of The Carotid Artery diagram. The DailyMail reports the last search made that night was to inquire about a machine gun.
Derek Rosa claims in a police interview that his stepfather owns two guns and he planned to shoot himself after the stabbing but didn't go through with it.

Matthew Perry wrote about his issues with addiction to alcohol and drugs. In his memoir, he said he began drinking at 14 and was an alcoholic by 18.
Perry first went to rehab and completed a 28-day program at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation after a jet-ski accident led to an addiction to Vicodin. In his 2022 memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big, Terrible Thing," Perry claimed to have been to rehab 15 times, detoxed 65 times, and spent about $7 to $9 million trying to get sober.
After years of addiction, Matthew Perry spent 5-months in the hospital after his colon burst from prolonged opioid abuse. Perry says he was in surgery for seven hours and in a coma for two weeks. Doctors told his family he had a 2% chance of survival. After leaving the hospital, Perry used a colostomy bag for months.
Two years after his near-death experience, Matthew Perry goes to a Rehab facility in Switzerland. He wrote that he faked pain symptoms to get Oxycontin during COVID. He was also getting daily Ketamine infusions. While at the facility, Perry needed to have surgery and was given propofol.
When he woke up 11 hours later, he found out his heart had stopped for 5 minutes and during the long CPR process 8 of his ribs were broken. The doctor then refused more meds.
On October 28, Matthew Perry went to his country club to play a game of Pickleball with friends. Perry returned to his home after the game and was seen by his assistant, who was leaving the house to run errands. At 4 p.m., the assistant returned home and found Perry floating face down in the heated end of the pool.
Paramedics pulled Perry out of the pool and pronounced him dead at the scene.
The DailyMail reports the actor died from an overdose of the "party drug ketamine."

Tex McIver is a prominent Atlanta lawyer and Vice Chair of the State Elections Board; his wife, Diane, is a beautiful, incredibly successful businesswoman in her own right.
They have been married for 11 years, but on a September night, Tex McIver shoots his wife in the back, killing her. Diane McIver is shot inside a Ford Expedition she is riding in with her husband and a close family friend. They are returning home from their ranch in Putnam County late on Sunday night.
Diane is in the front passenger seat, Tex is in the back seat. Dani Jo Carter is driving the SUV back from the Ranch to the Condo in Buckhead when the interstate traffic gets heavy and she takes an exit into Downtown Atlanta. McIver tells the police it was a bad area and he asked his wife to hand him his gun. He said it was in the center console up front.
Diane McIver hands Tex his gun. He later says they are out of danger before falling asleep. He wakes up when Dani Jo stops the car, and somehow the gun is fired.
As friends come to offer condolences on the passing of his wife, most expect to see Tex McIver upset, in shock that he accidentally shot his wife, the love of his life, and caused her death. Instead, they find a man who seems more concerned about money. Within two days of Diane's death, Tex is asking about his wife's Social Security benefits.
Then, Tex McIver seems to be investigating how to liquidate his late wife's assets. He organizes many of his wife's possessions to sell at an auction as part of an estate sale and says he was liquidating things to settle his wife's estate.
McIver sold everything he could of his wife's clothing, jewelry, furs, hats, just about everything. The sale lasted several days. It was later revealed that he owed his wife nearly $350,000 which she loaned him for a barn he built on the ranch for guests on their estate
Atlanta police eventually decided to charge Tex McIver with involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct in the shooting death of his wife. The charges seem to suggest that they believe Tex McIver's claim that the shooting was an accident.
The day after a judge sends McIver to jail, he is indicted of malice murder, along with six other charges, including three counts of influencing a witness.

When Lindsay Clancy’s third child is born, her recovery seems to be different.
The 32-year-old reaches out to her parents and her in-laws to help her manage the children and things around the home. Her husband, Patrick Clancy sets up a home office in the basement to work remotely, so he can be on hand to help. When Lindsay starts to have thoughts of suicide, and worse, hurting the children, she checks herself into the McLean Psychiatric Hospital,
Five days after checking into a psychiatric hospital Lindsay Clancy is reportedly told she doesn't have postpartum depression. Husband Patrick Clancy tells friends that after her hospital stay, Lindsay seems to be getting better. She is sleeping better, interacting with friends and family, and going out in public without any difficulty. When Patrick Clancy asks his wife if she is having any suicidal thoughts, Lindsay Clancy says "No."
Later on in the year, with his wife having been prescribed at least 13 different medications, Patrick Clancy texts a friend saying he’s concerned that Lindsey has been prescribed too many medications. Patrick allegedly told friends that he worried she was suffering “the worst side effects possible” from one of her prescriptions. He says he thinks she is going through benzodiazepine withdrawal.
On a Tuesday afternoon Lindsay Clancy sends a text to her husband to pick up takeout. As Patrick Clancy leaves to pick up dinner, Lindsay sends him a text to stop off by the drugstore and pick up some medicine for the children.
Patrick Clancy stops by the drug store to pick up the medication but gets confused as to exactly which medicine to buy. He calls Lindsay Clancy on the phone, but she doesn't answer. She calls back a minute later.
Patrick says she sounded like she was in the middle of something. Lindsay answers his question about the medication and Patrick picks it up and heads to the 3V to get their dinner. When Patrick Clancy comes home, he’s met with silence.
He finds his wife in the backyard. She had jumped out of a second-floor window after slitting her wrists. The children are in the basement, strangled, an exercise band still wound around their necks.
Investigators revealed in court papers that Lindsay Clancy allegedly researched "ways to kill" before the deaths of her three children. Clancy is in a hospital ward, paralyzed after her second-floor fall, and faces three counts each of murder and strangulation.

Elane Garcia, unhappy in Evansville, Indiana, moves to Texas.
She tries to convince her oldest daughter, Andi Wagner, to move with her, but she decides to stay in Evansville. The plan is for her to live with her grandparents, making it possible for Wagner to be near her father and younger sister.
After the move to Texas, Garcia and Andi keep in touch, often using Facetime, but Garcia says she starts seeing a change in her daughter. She seems tired all the time. Garcia pushes for her daughter to move to Texas to live with her. Wagner finally agrees. Garcia is excited and apparently so is Wagner, who tells her friends and family about her relocation plan.
Two weeks before her mother is to arrive in Indiana to take her back to Texas, Andi Wagner goes to her grandparents’ house and packs a bag. Her younger sister, Alix Wagner, talks to her, but Andi Wagner doesn't volunteer much information about what she is doing, where she is going, or who she is with. Andi Wagner is only at the house for about 10 minutes, then leaves with a packed bag.
When Elane Garcia tries for several days to reach Andi by phone and fails, they reach out to the Evansville Police Department and file a "missing person" report on August 12.
Wagner is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 115 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Andi has a mole near her upper lip and several tattoos. She has her mother’s name on her forearm, a small rocket on her left ankle, and one with Roman numerals. She was last seen wearing an orange tank top and jeans.

The 13-year-old Derek Rosa is caught on the family's nanny cam, standing over his sleeping mother moments before the honor student stabs her to death. His newborn sister is sleeping in a crib steps away.
Derek Rosa is not your typical 13-year-old boy: He is on the honor roll with neighbors saying he is exceedingly nice and the model son.
Irena Garcia, 39, just gave birth to a baby girl. So it was shocking when the teen called 911, telling the dispatcher that he snuck into the room where his mom and the baby were sleeping and stabbed his mother dead.
As the operator talks to Rosa, he tells her he took pictures of the murder and sent them to a "friend." He also says he then deleted the photos. When pressed for the friend's name, Rosa says it is just somebody he knows online. During his call with 911, Rosa said he had a gun he planned to use to kill himself but decided not to.
Derek Rosa was taken into custody and transported to a juvenile detention center. He was then moved to Jackson Memorial Hospital after he threatened to harm himself.
Rosa was initially charged with second-degree murder, but a Miami-Dade grand jury found enough probable cause to indict the teen as an adult and up the charge to first-degree murder.
Rosa's defense attorney has put motions in front of the judge to move this case back to juvenile court.

Lydia "Dia" Abrams marries a wealthy La Jolla, California, real estate developer, Clem Abrams.
They have two children. After more than 30 years of marriage, Clem Abrams passes away after a long illness and Dia steps up to run the 116-acre family ranch.
After years as a widow, Abrams meets Keith Harper on a dating website. According to the Mercury News, Harper is a retired parole agent for the Utah Department of Corrections. The two hit it off and six months later, Harper moves in with Dia at the ranch and becomes the ranch manager. According to Harper, he works to upgrade the Abrams’ property: building dams, bridges, and fences, and helping care for Abrams' animals.
Harper also claims to be Abrams’ fiance.
Keith Harper is also named as trustee of Abrams' estate, and her beneficiary in the event of her death. On June 6, 2020, Dia Abrams is seen at her ranch in Mountain Center, California. Then she is captured on doorbell-cam footage delivering cinnamon rolls to a neighbor undergoing cancer treatment.
According to Keith Harper, he and Dia have lunch around 2:30 p.m. before he leaves to work around the property. Abrams reportedly goes to tend to her horses at another property she owns in Garner Valley.
Harper says he mows for five hours before returning to the house around 7:30 p.m. Abrams’ Ford F-350 pickup is parked outside, but Harper cannot find her. Harper says he calls her phone and hears it ringing upstairs. It is plugged into a charger next to a nightstand. Abrams’ purse and keys are also there.
A search begins. Dozens of locals scoured the ranch and surrounding mountain area on foot, horseback, and all-terrain vehicles. Harper is seen riding an ATV around the property. When Riverside County sheriff deputies begin a days-long search, Harper packs up his RV and takes off for Arizona. He says he needs to take care of a tax issue at a property he owns there.
Where is Dia?

Sam Haskell is sitting in jail with no bail, accused of murdering and dismembering his wife and her parents.
Police found biological evidence at the Haskell home where the wife and in-laws lived. A law enforcement source says the biological evidence is from three different people. Police have yet to say what the nature of the biological evidence is but they have said they found blood at the house.
Former friends of Haskell are speaking out. His former trainer has shared texts from Haskell in which he says can't handle seeing chopped-up bodies in horror movies. He says the violence is too "hard" for him to enjoy.
Other friends have described Sam Haskell Jr as being "paranoid" before his arrest and the New York Post reports Haskell once pulled a machete on a childhood friend. Friends of Haskell's wife, Mei describe Haskell as being "weird" and having the "same creepy vibe" as Jeffrey Dahmer.
Haskell's former personal trainer, Troy Piedade, tells Nancy Grace that Haskell was troubled, but he never thought he would commit murder.

Gabby Petito's parents have long believed that Chris and Roberta Laundrie knew Gabby was dead long before her body was found.
In trying to prove it, Gabby's mother, Nichole Schmidt, and father, Joe Petito, have sued the Laundries and their attorney Steve Bertolino for intentional infliction of emotional distress. They are claiming that the trio was aware that Gabby Petito was dead but chose to do nothing.
In depositions for the upcoming civil trial, we learn two days after Brian Laundrie is believed to have killed Gabby Petito, he makes a frantic call to his parents. In the August 29, 2021, call, Laundrie tells his parents that Gabby is "gone" and he needs a lawyer.
According to Petitio family attorney Pat Reilly, Chris and Roberta Laundrie did not admit to knowing Gabby was killed, only that they were told by Brian that she was "gone." A retainer was sent to attorney Steve Bertolino six days later.
Reilly, however, believes the family was told more than they are now admitting. Reilly has filed a motion to force Bertolino into revealing what Brian Laundrie told him.

Rex Heuermann has been housed in the Suffolk County Correctional Facility since his July arrest for the deaths of three women.
Asa Ellerup, his estranged wife, filed for divorce six days later. Since then she has not visited Heuermann, until now. Bob Macedonia, Ellerup’s divorce attorney, confirmed Asa Ellerup met with Rex Heuermann at the Suffolk County Jail. No word on how the meeting went or what was said.
She has now also attended a court hearing for the accused Long Island Serial Killer. A crew for the Peacock network accompanied her after the family signed a deal worth at least 1 million dollars to take part in an upcoming documentary.
We've also learned that Heuermann has become a pen pal behind bars, writing to another serial killer, the "Happy Face Killer. In the early 90s Keith Jesperson, a long hall truck driver, killed many women. When someone else took credit for one of his murders, he started sending letters to the media and police with information only the killer would know. He put a "happy face" on each of his letters and was dubbed the Happy Face Killer.
DailyMail reports that Jesperson wrote a letter to Heuermann encouraging him to confess and offering some advice. Rex Heuermann reportedly writes back, thanking the Happy Face Killer for the advice, and then complains about the food in jail and the exercise yard.

After high school, Susan Leigh Vaughan marries David Smith.
They have two sons, but the children don't keep the marriage together. The Smiths separated several times. During one of these separations, Susan Smith begins dating Tom Findlay, the single son of a wealthy mill owner. Smith is planning a future with her new beau when she gets a Dear John letter from Findley. He explains that he doesn't want an instant family.
On the night of October 25, Susan Smith knocks on the door of a house near John D Long Lake. She is hysterical when the man answers the door and tells him to call the police. She says an armed black man just carjacked her at a red light. Her two boys, 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex, are still in the car. For days Susan Smith tells an ever-changing story of the carjacking.
Then Susan Smith finally admits what she has done. There never was a hijacker. She went out for a drive with her sons buckled into their car seats in the back. Feeling desperate, alone, and suicidal, she drove to John D. Long Lake and puts the car in neutral. She jumps out and watches the car sink. Scuba divers locate the vehicle with the boys in the back, still buckled into their seats.
Since Susan Smith was convicted and jailed, tabloid news reports claim Smith told prison investigators that she had four sexual encounters with Lieutenant Houston Cagle, a supervisor at South Carolina's Women's Correctional Institution.
Cagle admitted having sex with Smith and another prisoner. He was charged with the offenses in August 2000. The 50-year-old Cagle pleaded guilty and spent 3 months in jail. Captain Alfred Rowe also pleaded guilty to having sex with Smith and was sentenced to five years' probation.
Now Smith's relationship with men turns to pen pals. Several men have written to Smith over the years, with Smith looking to a life outside prison. In March of 2022, People magazine gained access to letters Smith wrote to a long-distance boyfriend. In one letter Smith wrote, "I can't wait to build a life with you, leave the past mistakes behind and start fresh, just you and me."
The Messenger has reportedly obtained transcripts of dozens of voice and text messages that Susan Smith traded with at least six men while serving her time in Prison. One man has gone so are as to build a fake life for Susan Smith and himself in the game the Sims also has a pet name for the convicted child killer, "Pookie."

Betty and Connor Bowman have a lot in common when they marry.
Betty Bowman graduates from the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy with a Pharmaceutical Doctorate. She works as a hospital pharmacist while Connor Bowman gets his Internal Medicine Residency. Betty Bowman takes a position at the Mayo Clinic, so when she falls ill suddenly, the Mayo Clinic is the logical place for treatment.
It seems Betty Bowman is suffering from food poisoning, gastrointestinal distress, and dehydration. Her condition doesn't get any better. She takes a turn for the worse, with heart problems, and fluid buildup in her lungs. Part of her colon is also removed after doctors discover necrotic tissue. Bowman dies from organ failure.
Then the Southeast Minnesota Medical Examiner's Office alerts the Rochester Police Department to the suspicious nature of Betty Bowman's death. The Medical Examiner's office had to halt a cremation order.
According to court records, the Medical Examiner’s Office received a call from CGK- a female friend of the Bowman who said Betty and Connor Bowman were having marital issues and were talking about divorce following infidelity and a deteriorating relationship.
In the Criminal Complaint, it is stated that Conner Bowman told the Medical Examiner’s Office that his wife should be cremated immediately, arguing that Betty Bowman did not want to be a cadaver. Connor Bowman also began asking one of the medical examiner investigators if the toxicology analysis being completed would be more thorough than the analysis typically done at the hospital. Bowman wanted a list of what was specifically going to be tested for.
Friends of Betty Bowman began reaching out to investigators. An adult female friend of Betty Bowman told the Rochester Police Department that she had texted Betty Bowman and that Bowman told her she was sick. The friend told the detective that Betty Bowman was normally a healthy person. Another friend said a text from Betty Bowman said she thought a smoothie she had the night before might have caused her illness.
Detectives began looking at all options and found husband Connor Bowman had accessed Betty Bowman's patient account using his hospital credentials. From there he was able to locate internet searches conducted by Connor Bowman, a Poison Specialist.
Connor Bowman was researching COLCHICINE, a drug used to treat gout. What's more, he was searching for information in determining what a lethal dose would be, by entering his wife's weight.

Thanksgiving, 2018, Kelsey Berreth talks with her mother that morning and is then seen on video at a local grocery.
Two days later, text messages from Berreth's phone were sent to Patrick Frazee, Berreth's fiance, her mother, and her boss, saying she was taking a few days off. After not hearing from her daughter in over a week, Cheryl Berreth asks the police to check on her daughter. Kelsey Berreth is missing.
The investigation into Berreth's disappearance goes on for a month before Patrick Frazee is arrested, and charged with murdering the woman he was supposed to marry. One of the breaks for police was information coming from Frazee's mistress Krystal Lee Kenney.
She tells police that Frazee had asked her three times to kill Berreth and when she refused, he did it himself. Frazee blindfolded Berreth on the pretense of a game of guessing the scent. He then bludgeoned her with a baseball bat, calling Kenney and telling her she had a mess to clean up.
She drives from her home in Idaho to Colorado to clean up the bloody crime scene. She tells police she accompanied Frazee to his nearby ranch, where she said he burned Berreth’s remains as well as her personal belongings.
Frazee is convicted on all charges including first-degree murder, solicitation for murder, and tampering with a deceased human body. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder charge, plus 156 years for the other convictions. His appeal was denied
Krystal Lee Kenney accepted a plea deal in exchange for her testimony against Frazee. She was sentenced to three years in prison. After Frazee's conviction, Kenney was sentenced to 18 months in prison for evidence tampering. She has now been released.

Jillian Ludwig kicks off her freshman year at Nashville's Belmont University in her first weeks by settling into a routine that includes putting her musical talents to work and enjoying the great outdoors.
Ludwig is walking on the track in Edgehill Community Memorial Gardens Park at 2:30 p.m. when gunshots ring out from across the street. Jillian Ludwig is not the intended target, but she is hit in the head with a stray bullet. Nobody else is on the track, and Ludwig suffers for nearly an hour before she is found on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head.
She is transported to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in very critical condition.
As Jillian Ludwig fights for her life in Vanderbilt University Medical Center, police arrest 29-year-old Shaquille Taylor. Surveillance video and witness statements point to Taylor as the shooter. Video shows Ludwig falling as Taylor shoots at a car. He's charged with aggravated assault, evidence tampering, and failure to appear on a different felony charge.
Taylor is someone well-known to Nashville's law enforcement community. His record stretches back more than a decade. His latest arrest was on September 21. Taylor was driving a Ford F-150 pickup truck that had been carjacked by two men wearing ski masks on September 16. Taylor did not admit to being involved in the carjacking in any way but he was charged with felony auto theft and was released on a bond. Taylor was due in court just days before the shooting of Jillian Ludwig but he failed to show up.
Despite multiple arrests, Taylor had been released from custody after three court-appointed psychologists deemed him incompetent to stand trial, and also found he didn't pose an imminent threat to himself or others. According to court records, Shaquille Taylor has an intellectual disability and language impairment, With that determination, it means he isn't able to participate in a trial.

Decatur, Alabama, police get a call for a welfare check on 36-year-old Cindy Crow.
WAFF reports a family member believed Crow to be eight months pregnant. Crow, however, looked like she had lost a lot of weight, overnight. The family member, a sister, told police that she had seen Crow leaving her home, with a large, white trash bag in the back floorboard of her car. In the home, bloody feminine products were found in the trash.
Police contacted Crow at work, where she agreed to go to the hospital to prove that she was not pregnant. While waiting for the test results, Crow gave an officer consent to search her cell phone, where he found the app LIFE360. This allowed the detective to trace the route Cindy Crow took when she left her home with the white trash bag.
Using information garnered from the LIFE360 app, detectives found a location with a dumpster, Wally World Mini-Mart. Investigators searched inside the dumpster and found the trash bag containing the deceased body of a newborn baby girl. It was stuffed in the bottom of the dumpster under several other large bags of trash.
Cindy Crow was arrested and so far is charged with abuse of a corpse.

David and Cindy Rainey rent a cottage for the weekend along a canal in Suwanee, Florida, 140 miles from home.
The couple's two adult sons, Bailey and Jack, plus a family friend, join them for the weekend getaway. On Saturday, David walks away from the home and doesn’t come back.
Cindy and David Rainey reportedly got into an argument. David left, walking out of the house. He left his glasses, wallet, and cellphone behind in their rental home. The next morning, David still hadn’t returned. Cindy calls the police. An extensive search ensues and continues throughout the day without success.
It wasn't until early evening that same day, that deputies found David Rainey’s body submerged in the canal in the backyard of the rental house. He had been stabbed multiple times in the chest and was still in the same clothes he was last seen wearing. Police say the body was placed in the water after death.
David Rainey's death was ruled a homicide.
It’s been more than two years since David Rainey’s body was found submerged in water and stabbed to death. Police have no suspects in the murder, but that doesn’t mean they’ve not made an arrest. The Dixie County Sheriff's office says three of David Rainey’s family members have been arrested.
David Rainey's wife and two sons are all charged with tampering with evidence, apparently related to the dumping of Rainey’s body in the canal after he was stabbed. Investigators with the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office traveled to Bunnell, Florida, and arrested Cindy Rainey and Bailey Rainey, then traveled to Orlando, Florida, and arrested Jack Rainey.
Cindy Rainey, Bailey Rainey, and Jack Rainey are being held without bond. In Florida, tampering with evidence is counted as a third-degree felony, with penalties of up to 5 years in prison, or 5 years of probation and a $5,000 fine. Police still have not released a suspect or a possible motive for Rainey's murder.

Four potential new witnesses have come forward with information connecting Rex Heuermann to the Long Island Serial Killer murders
One of the witnesses worked in a bank during the day and drove a taxicab at night. She signed an affidavit that she picked up Shannan Gilbert from a Sayville motel, but when she got the order from dispatch, was told the person she was picking up was so afraid she was hiding in a locked bathroom.
The rider would only come out if the taxi driver flashes her lights and beeps the horn. The cab driver says she showed up to the motel, flashed her lights, and beeped her horn but nobody came out of the motel. However, she did see "a giant man' fitting the description of Rex Heuermann come out of the motel. When the girl finally comes out, she is crying.
The driver believes this person was Shannan Gilbert
Another witness claims Heuermann and his wife were swingers, and Karen Vergata took part in a party at Heuermann's home. A third potential witness contacted attorney John Ray and says she remembers being picked up by Rex Heuermann. She says he threatened her with a gun.
The fourth potential new witness claims she was a sex worker for many years, including the time the killings occurred. She said Heuermann was a serial user of sex workers, and he would sometimes have them come to his house, with his wife upstairs,

Derek Rosa is not your typical 13-year-old boy: He is on the honor roll with neighbors saying he is exceedingly nice and the model son.
Irena Garcia, 39, just gave birth to a baby girl. So it was shocking when the teen called 911, telling the dispatcher that he snuck into the room where his mom and the baby were sleeping and stabbed his mother dead.
As the operator talks to Rosa, he tells her he took pictures of the murder and sent them to a "friend." He also says he then deleted the photos. When pressed for the friend's name, Rosa says it is just somebody he knows online. During his call with 911, Rosa said he had a gun he planned to use to kill himself but decided not to.
Derek Rosa was taken into custody and transported to a juvenile detention center. He was then moved to Jackson Memorial Hospital after he threatened to harm himself.
Rosa was initially charged with second-degree murder, but a Miami-Dade grand jury found enough probable cause to indict the teen as an adult and up the charge to first-degree murder.

After opening statements, witness testimony began in Kaitlyn Armstrong's murder trial.
Mo Wilson's brother, Matt Wilson, answered questions about Wilson's professional cycling and what type of person she was. Wilson testified that Mo Wilson and Colin Strickland were not having a romantic relationship when she was killed. The woman that Mo Wilson stayed with in Austin and whose apartment in which she was killed, Caitlin Cash, said the same thing when asked about the Wilson / Strickland relationship.
Caitlin Cash also testified on how she found Mo Wilson on the floor of her apartment bathroom covered in blood. The state also played the call Cash made to 911. Cash cried while the recording of her call was played in court.
During ADA Ricky Jones' opening statement, he said Armstrong knew that Wilson was in town because the day before the shooting she looked Wilson up four times on a phone app called Strava that showed where Wilson planned to race and gave the address of the house where Wilson was staying.
Jones also pointed out that Armstrong had used Colin Strickland's login information on her cell phone and looked up pictures of Mo Wilson.

A jury has been set and opening arguments will be presented today in the murder trial of Kaitlyn Armstrong.
The yoga instructor is accused of killing professional cyclist Moriah "Mo" Wilson. Wilson was in Austin to tackle the “Gravel Locos” race in Hico. As luck would have it, Wilson has friends in the area, so instead of booking a hotel, bunks down with her friend. The friend already has plans for the evening, but that’s OK.
Wilson has plans of her own. She tells her friend that she’s meeting up with a guy she dated briefly, to go swimming, grab a meal, and catch up.
Wilson's friend was also Kaitlyn Armstrong's boyfriend. During a brief period when Armstrong and Colin Strickland were separated, he and Wilson dated. It made Armstrong angry, to the point that she confronted Wilson, telling her not to contact Strickland.
When Mo Wilson’s friend returns home from her dinner plans, she finds Wilson unresponsive inside the home. There’s blood everywhere and her friend is in the bathroom, lodged between the toilet and the wall. 911 is called. Police arrived to find Wilson had been shot multiple times, with a 9mm weapon, and it doesn’t appear the shooting was random.
As the Austin Police Department investigates, they reach out to neighbors, asking for surveillance video. A neighbor’s camera, pointed at the driveway of the home where Wilson was staying, caught a Black Jeep Grand Cherokee driving past the house just one minute after Wilson went inside.
In the meantime, police reach out to Colin Strickland, who agrees to an interview at his home. When the police arrived, they see a Black Jeep Grand Cherokee in the driveway... the same one seen in the surveillance video. It belongs to Strickland’s girlfriend, Kaitlyn Armstrong.
Police begin to look at Kaitlyn Armstrong as a suspect. An anonymous caller tells police Armstrong said she wanted to kill Wilson and even bought a gun. On May 12, Kaitlin Armstrong was brought in for questioning but APD wasn’t able to get probable cause until May 17. When Armstrong spoke with homicide detectives, she couldn’t explain why her SUV was in the area the night Mo Wilson was murdered. Police release Armstrong.
When officers try to talk to Armstrong again, she is nowhere to be found. Three days later, a video is released of Armstrong in Austin's airport. Investigators say she flew from Austin to Houston and then on to New York. Surveillance footage shows Kaitlin Armstrong flying into New York's La Guardia airport on May 14. On May 18, the day after a murder warrant was issued for Armstrong, someone dropped her off at New Jersey's Newark airport, but there’s no record of her taking a flight.
US Marshalls tracked Armstrong to Costa Rica. She had used a family member's passport to get there. She had dyed her hair and had plastic surgery to change her appearance.
After a 43-day manhunt, Kaitlyn Armstrong is taken into custody.

It's shortly after 9 a.m. on Sunday Morning: Kerri McDermott answers her door, finding her neighbor's children asking for help.
They can't find Dad and Mom is crying in her bedroom. McDermott calls 911. Police find Breanne Pennington lying in her bed with a gunshot wound to the face. Three spent shell casings are near her body, but Aaron Pennington is gone.
Investigators executed a search warrant for the Pennington home, as well as Aaron Pennington's cell phone. It was what was found on Aaron Pennington's cell phone that led a judge to issue a warrant for his arrest on murder. According to court documents, investigators found a note from Saturday evening, the night before his wife's body was found.
The note said, "Don't say anything. Be quite [sic] If she wakes up just say you're getting nasal spray. Get on side of bed - very close proximity on bed. Put hole in her head."
Pennington has yet to be found.

An 11-year-old girl’s brother thinks his sister is leaving for school, but it's 5:30 in the morning.
Then the boy realizes that it's Sunday. He calls his mother, who is working overnights. Mom comes home and calls the Wayne Police Department.
The mom tells police this is not the first time the girl has gone missing. A missing person's report was filed in June, but the 11-year-old returned 90 minutes later, telling her mother that she had met up with a man named Darius, whom, she had been talking to on the online game platform Roblox.
The girl was grounded after the incident, and access to the online platforms was taken away, but as North Jersey.com reports, the mother now thinks the girl may have used other family members' phones to continue to communicate with 27-year-old Darius Matylewich.
When he was contacted by the police, Matylewich denied knowing the girl's whereabouts. Finally, Matylewich admitted to picking up the girl and driving her back across the state line to his home in Bear, Delaware, 135 miles away from Wayne, New Jersey. Darius Matylewich is charged with first-degree kidnapping and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child.

Kouri Richins' book on how to deal with grief isn't the only thing she's written.
There's a six-page handwritten letter that's sparking debate, "the walk the dog letter." Prosecutors say that in the letter, Richins is teaching people how to lie about what happened the night her husband died. Her defense team says the letter was privileged information and wants the prosecutors to be sanctioned.
It's called the "walk the dog letter," since that phrase is written in big letters on the top. In it, Richins makes the claim that her husband Eric was addicted to drugs, that he would make frequent trips to Mexico to get pills, and that his death was an accidental overdose. The letter was written to Richins' mother, and it reportedly tells her to instruct Richins' brother to make the connection to Mexico and drugs when he talks about the case.
The question the court has to answer is, does a defendant attempting to help coach someone on what they should say on the witness stand, rise to the level of witness tampering?
Prosecutors say it does rise to the level of witness tampering because there is no connection between Kouri Richins' brother and drugs from Mexico. The prosecution believes, again, that Richins is instructing people to lie. That is why the prosecution is asking the judge to disallow contact between Richins and her mother.

Barbara Maier Gustern was shoved from behind outside her Chelsea residence.
Friends found the well-known and beloved voice coach in the apartment lobby covered in blood. A bicyclist spotted the injured 87-year-old on the street and brought her in. Gustern hit her head during the attack and was taken to a hospital for medical treatment. She ultimately passed away from her injuries after being placed on life support.
Police released security footage of the incident, which showed Lauren Pazienza reportedly shoving Gustern before running away. Police, also say the suspect returned to watch, as the victim was carried away by ambulance.
Lauren Pazienza was facing manslaughter charges. Initially, she pleaded not guilty but has now changed her plea to guilty to first-degree manslaughter. Justice Felicia Mennin sentenced Pazienza to 8 years, but then tacked on another 6 months, blasting Pazienza for her “inability to take responsibility for her actions.”
Pazienza had given a probation officer conflicting stories about her involvement in events surrounding the attack, claiming that she simply “ran into” the victim.

Attorneys representing two of the accused in LSU student Madison Brook rape are asking a court to give them access to Brooks' phone data for the 72 hours preceding the alleged attack.
They claim the defense is entitled to find out if someone other than the defendants caused Brooks' injuries. The intent is to identify whether Brooks could have had sex with someone other than the defendants in the hours before the alleged rape.
LSU student Madison Brooks was killed after being hit by a car. Brooks was standing in the road at the time. Police say Brooks left a Tigerland bar with four men and is then allegedly raped in the car. When the inebriated Brooks cannot give the men her address, she is dropped off around 3 a.m. in a random neighborhood. That is when Brooks was hit by the car.
Kaivon Washington, 18, and an unidentified 17-year-old minor are charged with third-degree rape. Everette Lee, 28, and Casen Carver, 18, were charged with principal to third-degree rape, which means they were there when the incident occurred but did not take part in it.

An Alabama judge accepted Joran van der Sloot's plea deal, meaning today, after almost two decades, the Dutch national admitted that he killed Alabama teen Natalee Holloway. In his proffer, a document in which the defendant offers information about a crime, he reportedly told the court that Holloway rejected his sexual advances, so he hit her, kicked her in the face, then bludgeoned her dead. He then put her body in the ocean.
The confession was part of van der Sloot's plea deal on extortion charges. He was accused of trying to sell information to Beth Holloway on the location of her daughter's body for $250,000.
With his guilty plea, van der Sloot was sentenced to 20 years on the federal charges, which will run concurrently with his current sentence for the murder of Stephany Flores in Peru.

He says he came in from the garage, after his wife entered the home, to find her dead. He saw a man wearing a ski mask in the entryway. Randolph shot the man five times, killing him.
Prosecutors told a different story. They alleged Randolph hired handyman Michael Miller to kill Sharon Randolph, so that husband Thomas, could get more than $300,000 in insurance money.
This is not the first time that one of Randolph's wives has died in mysterious circumstances. Randolph has been married five times before. Three of those women died.

Haley Pullos makes two fashion-forward court appearances as she faces Felony DUI charges.
The first in July, as the former General Hospital star hobbled inside on crutches. The second in August Pullos was seen in a green dress with white heels, a black ankle brace visible. Pullos has pleaded not guilty to all charges after a wrong-way crash.
Pullos was charged with driving under the influence after her car flew over the dividing barrier, and into oncoming traffic. She careened off one car and collided head-on with another car, that was going about 60 mph.
Police reportedly recovered marijuana edibles and alcohol from the actress’ car. Firefighters had to use "the jaws of life" to free Pullos from her car. That's when the "General Hospital" actress lashed out at the responders shouting, “This is a $400 f**king shirt!”
TMZ also reports Pullos was aggressive with hospital staff and had to be sedated.

A new report says two surviving housemates in the Moscow, Idaho rental home where 4 students were killed, were awake and texting each other while the murders were taking place. The new information comes from Air Mail.com, a weekly digital subscription service.
The lengthy article attributes the information to someone on the grand jury that indicted Bryan Kohberger. The information was allegedly leaked to Kaylee Goncalves’ Father, Steve. Neither Gonsalves nor his attorney has commented or confirmed the information in the article.
There is currently a restrictive gag order in place on the case. A statement released by the family however calls the claims “a very poor attempt at getting attention and obviously fictional.”
As the investigation continues, prosecutors are asking for more of Bryan Kohberger's electronic footprint. The state is requesting customer information from multiple companies including Amazon, Apple, and PayPal. Search warrants have been served asking for information related to the purchase of knives, but that's not all. The information requests include customer "click activity" pertaining to knives and accessories, as well.

Serial killer Dennis Rader, also known as BTK, is serving a life sentence for 10 confessed murders, but his own writings have possibly connected him to more.
In his journals, Rader made references to "projects," murders he fantasized about. One of those projects was abducting a woman from a laundromat. Teen Cynthia Dawn Kinney disappeared from her family-owned laundromat in 1979. Rader was allegedly spotted leaving the location with two women around the time the cheerleader vanished according to Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden.
Virden recently led a search of Rader's former property in the area. Not all evidence recovered has been made public, however, Virden did share a pantyhose ligature found buried on the property.
The investigation now turns to proving a connection between Rader and murders resembling those logged in Rader's journals.

A ruling by a Pennsylvania appellate court upholding the finding in Ellen Greenberg's death hasn't stopped her parents' search for the truth.
The Philadelphia teacher was found dead in her apartment, stabbed more than 20 times. Some stabs were to the back and head, and somehow the death was ruled a suicide. It was initially listed as homicide.
Why did the medical examiner change it? That is the million-dollar question. The parents do not believe Ellen committed suicide.
Josh and Sandee Greenberg have struggled, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, to have the rule changed, and the appellate court ruling is just one more obstacle.
In a 2-to-1 ruling, the Commonwealth Court found the Greenbergs lacked standing to bring their claim. This means that the parents can't raise a challenge, but if Ellen's parents can't, who can? In the same ruling, however, the court did raise questions about a faulty original investigation.
It's a conundrum. If the investigation was not properly handled, how does that not change the cause of death?

Bryan Kohberger's trial start date has come and gone, with the accused killer still proclaiming his innocence.
The trial was postponed after Kohberger waived his right to a speedy trial, and the judge accepted it. Kohberger's attorney, Anne Taylor, said the defense team needs more time to effectively present their case.
The search for evidence that Kohberger knew his victims continues. Investigators say digital evidence and surveillance video links Kohberger to the murders. The defense says there is no connection, but the Gonsalves family tells a "48 Hours" investigation that after learning Kohberger's name, they did their own online search. They say they found an Instagram account they believe belongs to Kohberger which followed both Maddie Mogen and Kaylee Gonsalves. That account has now been deactivated.
No word on a new trial date.

Teen Willard Miller pleaded guilty to the murder of his Spanish teacher Nohema Graber and now a judge has sentenced him to life in prison.
Iowa law does not permit juveniles to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, so Miller, 17, will serve a minimum of 35 years before he is eligible for parole.
Willard Noble Chaiden Miller and Jeremy Everett Goodale were accused of killing 66-year-old Nohema Graber. The boys were students at Fairfield High School in Fairfield, where Graber had been teaching Spanish since 2012. Police found Graber’s remains on November 3 at Chautauqua Park in Fairfield. A tipster led investigators to the teens. Police say social media evidence ties both suspects to Graber's death.
According to a criminal complaint, in a social media exchange, the teens appeared to know specific details regarding Graber’s death, including how the teacher died, and the motive. Information on a specific motive has not been publicly released. Investigators obtained search warrants for both suspects’ homes and found clothing that appeared to have blood on them. A witness who knew the suspects told police the suspects were seen at the park on November 3.
Prosecutors said Miller was upset about a grade and had been seen arguing with her about it.

The mom of five was last seen at Houck's home. Rogers' car was found abandoned with a flat tire on the Bluegrass Parkway two days later. Her keys, phone, and purse were inside the vehicle. Houck was interviewed, but not arrested.
Houck has been charged with murder and tampering with evidence. The details of why, however, remain sealed until his arraignment.
Houck's bond has been set at $10 million cash.
This is the second arrest related to Crystal Rogers' disappearance. 32-year-old Joseph L. Lawson was charged with conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence in the case.

A college secret is said to be the motive behind the murder of an Ohio Mom.
Brenda Powell was bludgeoned with a frying pan and then stabbed more than 30 times. Daughter Sydney Powell, 19 at the time, was charged with murder.
Prosecutors claimed Sydney Powell did not tell her parents that she was suspended from Mount Union University months earlier for poor academics. Brenda Powell was on the phone with college officials when her daughter struck.
Defense experts argued that Sydney Powell suffered a psychotic break when she killed her mother. Three experts found she was schizophrenic and could not discern right from wrong.
Experts for the prosecution asserted Powell had mental health issues, but was not insane when she committed the crime.

A manhunt is underway for the husband of a daycare owner charged in the death of a child in her care.
New York police responded to Divino Niño Daycare in the Bronx and found three children unconscious. Nicholas Dominici, just a year old, died from a fentanyl overdose. Two other children in the home-run daycare were revived after being administered Narcan.
A fourth child, picked up by a parent two hours before a chilling 911 call made by the owner, was taken to the hospital independently after the parent noticed the child was lethargic. That child also survived.
Police say they found a kilogram of fentanyl in a hallway closet at the daycare, stacked with the children’s play mats. They also found three kilo presses, used to package drugs. The 36-year-old owner of the daycare, and her tenant, her husband’s 41-year-old cousin Carlisto Acevedo Brito, are charged with 11 counts, including murder, manslaughter, and assault.

Nine-year-old Debbie Randall is abducted while walking home from the laundromat, just yards from her family's apartment.
Sixteen days later, her brutalized body is found dumped eight miles away. Despite law enforcement's best efforts, the seemingly random killer has been unidentified for nearly 50 years. Investigators discover a small rag inside Randall's vaginal cavity and initial testing reveals a partial DNA sample. The sample is sent through CODIS, but no one in the prison system, not even executed prisoners, is a match.
As DNA testing improves, investigators use genetic genealogy to find the killer. William Rose, 24 at the time of the murders, committed suicide just two years after Randall's murder. Randall's brother says he believes the weight of what Rose did to Debbie led Rose to take his own life.

Sherri Papini admits her 2016 kidnapping was a hoax, pleading guilty.
The 39-year-old, sentenced to 18 months in prison, has been released into a residential management program. Her official release date is in October.
The mom was reported missing and told investigators when she was found 22 days later that a pair of Hispanic women kidnapped her at gunpoint. Papini said her kidnappers abused her and then shoved her out of a car. Papini was emaciated, her hair was cut shorter, and she had cuts and bruises all over her body, but prosecutors said she caused the injuries herself.
The case was broken in 2020 when DNA led investigators to Papini’s ex, who told them she had been with him the entire time. Federal prosecutors charged Papini with 34 counts of mail fraud and one count of making false statements. Papini accepted a plea deal, but didn't explain why she created an elaborate kidnapping hoax, although she apologized for her actions.
Panini's story began to unravel when investigators found male DNA on her clothing that led them to her ex-boyfriend, whom she had been staying with while she pretended to be missing. He dropped her off along Interstate 5 when she said she wanted to go back home.
Investigators said that the former boyfriend said that Papini had asked him to hit her but he refused. Instead, he agreed to hold a hockey stick for her to run into and pelted her with hockey pucks. He also said he branded her at her request.

Eight-year-old Gretchen Harrington leaves home, walking to vacation bible school at a church just a half mile from her home. Usually, Gretchen is accompanied by her two sisters, but this day, she walks alone. The older girls stay home.
It was just after 9 a.m. when Pastor Harold Harrington waved goodbye. Two hours passed before he found out Gretchen never made it to VBS. Hundreds of people took part in the search for the little girl. A police helicopter continuously flew overhead. Teams of searchers combed the hillside of the community. Friends and family hand out fliers with Gretchen’s picture on it. Some witnesses said they had seen Gretchen outside a car, talking to someone, but nothing came of the lead.
Two months later, a jogger found the skeletonized human remains of a little girl. The Harringtons confirmed the clothing found with the body as Gretchen’s. It was only 20 minutes from her home.
Gretchen’s manner of death is ruled a homicide. The girl's skull has been fractured by multiple vicious blows. An autopsy does not reveal sex assault, but police believe that was the motive.
Now, years later, a new book leads to the capture of a murderer.

Ruby Franke makes shocking claims in court. The mom accused of child abuse, claims that one of her minor children sexually abused siblings, and molested several other family members, and children in the neighborhood, for years.
Franke alleges one of her children began looking at pornography at just 3 years old. Franke says two children played a "patting game" with each other, but did not give details to the court about that game.
Franke provided no proof of her allegations. The judge then said that her alleged abusive child 'will then need to be placed in a home with no other children.'

Tennessee prosecutors are seeking the death penalty Cleotha Abston, also known as Cleotha Henderson. He is charged with kidnapping and killing Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher.
Fletcher vanished while out on her morning run. Neighborhood video captured images of Fletcher being forced into an SUV. The kindergarten teacher's body was found days later near a vacant house less than a mile from the kidnapping site.
Officers combing the area noticed footprints, tire tracks and “an odor of decay.” A pair of purple Lululemon running shorts matching what Fletcher was last seen wearing, was found in a nearby trash can.
Abston, 39, is also charged with the rape of a woman in September 2021, but he was not arrested until after Fletcher’s killing because the state crime lab hadn’t gotten around to processing the sexual assault kit.
Abston has pled not guilty.

When Dennis Rader, the serial killer dubbed BTK, was arrested in 2005, lots of documentation was found by the Wichita police: documentation in the form of his own writings, journals, and an unpublished book manuscript.
The manuscript is thought to be a description of the murders BTK viewed as “successful." There were Polaroids of Rader dressed like his victims and in the “state” in which their murders occurred… bound, partially buried, or hanging upside down.
The Osage County Sheriff’s Office investigators have poured over Rader’s writings looking for links to local unsolved crimes, and the information inside led police to search the property where Rader and his family lived.
During their search of the property, investigators found " trophies" from at least one woman. Investigators also found chains apparently used for bondage, along with C-clips. C-clips can shorten chains or be used to secure a person’s legs or feet. We know that a pantyhose ligature was found. Other items found have not been described publicly.

The father and stepmom of a New York man killed during a vacation watched via Zoom as the man who confessed to the murder was released from jail to get a haircut.
Gregory Moore, a father of four, and friends rented a home in Houston, an Airbnb. After a night of clubbing, the men returned to their Airbnb. As one of the men parked the car, Moore and a woman with the group walked to the door. They never made it inside.
A man wearing a hoodie and carrying a flashlight rushed Moore. Moore was pistol-whipped and shot multiple times. He took strikes to the neck, torso, left leg and both arms. Moore was life-flighted to a hospital but did not survive.
James Ray Lane, 33, confessed to the murder, but 351st Criminal District Court Judge Nata Cornelio allowed the defendant to remain free.
When Lane was charged, Judge Cornelio lowered Lane's $250,000 bond to $100,000, and during that time Lane has had multiple curfew violations.
Back before Judge Cornelio, Lane pleads guilty to murder, but the judge according to court documents allows Lane to remain free on bond until his sentencing, so he could get a haircut.

Joran van der Sloot's appearance in an American federal courtroom was short.
It took the convicted killer less than five minutes to enter a not-guilty plea on charges that he extorted money from Natalee Holliway's mother. The Dutch national was one of the last people to see the Alabama teen alive during her senior trip to Aruba in 2005, and many have theorized that van der Sloot raped and murdered her.
During the Holloway investigation, van der Sloot told mother Beth Twitty that he would tell her where her daughter's body was for $250,000; $15,000 was wired to a Netherlands bank account and van der Sloot was given another $10,000 through an attorney.

The investigations continue after Rex Heuermann's arrest in connection with the Long Island Serial Killer deaths, and now, another new victim possibility is emerging.
The daughter of a missing woman, Julia Ann Bean, says the last time she saw her mother, she was with a man who looked like Heuermann.

In November 2021, Crumbley fatally shot four students and injured seven other people. Testimony was presented this week at a Miller hearing which is required by law when prosecutors seek a life sentence for a minor defendant.
Sentencing is scheduled for December.

Jared Bridegan's ex-wife is the third person charged in connection with his murder 18 months ago. Jared Bridegan, 33, was fatally shot after he dropped off his twin 9-year-olds at Shanna Gardner-Fernandez's home. Bridegan was shot multiple times after he stopped to remove a tire from the road. Bridgean’s toddler daughter was in the car.
Gardner-Fernandez was arrested in Washington on charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, solicitation to commit a capital felony, and child abuse.
Gardner's current husband, Mario Fernandez Saldana, was arrested on the same charges in March. Henry Arthur Tenon, 62, was arrested first, and is thought to have pulled the trigger.

Jordan DeMay was a popular, well-liked sports star at his Michigan high school. The 17-year-old took his own life just hours after someone demanded money to keep a compromising photo from being sent to his parents and friends. The extortionists, a group of men from Nigeria who have targeted more than 100 children and adults, initially contacted DeMay over a hacked social media account, posing as a teen girl who enticed Jordan into sending a nude photo. The sextortionist then flipped the script, pressuring DeMay to pay to keep the photo private. The teen sent everything he had, totaling $300. The perpetrators wanted more. Police say the entire sequence of events appeared to have taken about six hours, until deputies responded to the DeMay home just after 7:30 a.m.
The family is now hopeful Jordan will receive justice. FBI agents, with help from Nigerian law enforcement tracked down the three men behind the international sextortion ring. Samuel Ogoshi, 22, and Samson Ogoshi, 20, have now been extradited from Lagos to Michigan to face charges related to sextortion and Demay's death. Authorities are still working to extradite a third suspect, Ezekiel Robert. Samuel Ogoshi faces a minimum of 50 years behind bars, his younger brother's charges carrying a minimum of 20 years in prison.

While many questions remain unanswered, new details are emerging in the murder of mom-of-5, Rachel Morin. We are learning that Morin stopped in a tanning salon she frequented before hitting the gym with new boyfriend, Richard Tobin. Tobin reportedly dropped Morin at home before she drove herself to one of two 'Ma and Pa' trailheads. In a now deleted Facebook comment, Tobin stated that he and Morin's children began searching for her around 9 p.m. and Tobin called in a missing person's report around 11:30 p.m.
Employees at the tanning salon where Morin reportedly kept a "daily appointment" say that Morin would keep them updated on her dating life, and was still actively using multiple dating sites, despite announcing her relationship with Tobin online. Police may be looking to men Morin matched with as potential suspects.
Police are also asking the community to submit tips on any information possibly related to the case. 5 dog walkers on the trail at the time of Morin's hike have been identified and questioned, hopefully helping investigators establish if Morin was alone, narrow down the timeframe in which the murder occurred, and find who did this to Rachel Morin.

An investigation is underway related to former priest Alex Crow.

She says she and Cross have separate rooms.
Alabama police say they are probing allegations that Crow may have groomed the teen, while she was still in high school. A love letter from Crow to the teen on Valentine’s Day of this year was found. Sheriff Burch said it is possible that more female students are involved. Church officials allegedly ordered the priest not to have contact with another female student who is a friend of the 18-year-old teen.

Investigators looking into the shocking death of 37-year-old Rachel Morin, have been tight-lipped on how the mom of five died, the type of injuries she sustained, or whether she was fully clothed or not.
They're also pushing back on comments made by Michael Gabriszeski, who claims that his stepdaughter, Cecilia, found the body of Rachel Morin. Gabriszeski said that Cecilia saw Morin's body first and she began hyperventilating. He says police told Cecilia to sit down, and that she did, in a big pool of blood.
Gabriszeksi says Morin was laying on her back, fully naked, and she had brutal head trauma. It looked like her head had been smashed with a rock.
The Hartford Sheriff's Office Spokesperson said of Gabriszeski, "He has no first-hand knowledge of the crime scene."
The spokesman says Mr. Gabriszeski was in the area to help search for the missing woman, but "was not within eyesight of the crime scene”.

Five years after police rule Lara Prychodko's death as a tragic accident, her father is still pushing for answers.
Prychodko died after falling 27 stories down a trash chute. Nicholas Prychodko claims in a lawsuit that his son-in-law carefully planned, and used a hit-man to facilitate her death. The couple was in the middle of an acrimonious divorce at the time.
The chief medical examiner concluded that Prychodko died from multiple blunt force injuries and was extremely intoxicated. Prychodko's father doesn't believe that explanation. He says a hitman hired by her husband was waiting for her on the 27th floor. She was strangled and the body was disposed of down the building's trash chute.
No criminal charges have ever been filed against her husband, David Schlachet. Prychodko’s father is suing for wrongful death.

Convicted killer Lori Vallow faced a judge today for sentencing in the deaths of her children, JJ and Tylee, as well as conspiracy in the death of Tammy Daybell.
The court heard victim impact statements from two of Tammy Daybell family members and two from Vallow's relations.
Lori Vallow addressed the court herself, beginning with a biblical quote from Christ: "He that is without sin among you let him first cast a stone at her."
Vallow said Jesus understands her and knows the truth of what happened. Vallow's statement intimated deaths from suicide or complications from medications. She also told the court that the spirits of all three victims have visited her in prison.
Vallow said Tylee is no longer in physical pain from her medical condition and that JJ is happy.
She said quote, "My beautiful children Tylee Ashlyn and Joshua Jackson rest safely this day in the arms of Jesus. My wonderful friend Tammy Daybell rests safely this day in the arms of Jesus, and I look forward to the day we are all reunited and I, too, will rest with them in the arms of my Jesus."
Judge Steven Boyce told Vallow that the crimes for which she was convicted were heinous before sentencing her to consecutive life sentences.

Carlee Russell calls 911, telling the operator that she sees a toddler walking down the side of an Alabama freeway.
When police arrive, there's no toddler and Russell is gone. Her car, however, is still parked along the highway. The door is open and the car is running. Forty hours later, Russell returns home, telling investigators in a brief interview that she was abducted by a man with orange hair and a woman.
As the investigation continued, police find some “really strange” internet searches in the hours before she vanished, such as the cutoff age for an AMBER Alert.

The murders of four Portland women have now been classified as the work of a serial killer.
Detectives have linked the murders to a man granted early release from his sentence. Jesse Lee Calhoun, 38, was granted early release after he joined a group of inmates fighting devastating wildfires. Calhoun had been sentenced to four years in prison for felonies including burglary, unauthorized possession of a stolen vehicle, and injuring a police officer and a police dog as they attempted to arrest him. Calhoun's clemency has been revoked, and he is back behind bars.
So far, Calhoun has been named a person of interest, not a suspect in the death of four women whose bodies were found within 100 miles of each other.

Surveillance photos show the mother of teen murder suspect Aiden Fucci washing his clothes the day teen girl Tristyn Bailey was murdered. Crystal Smith was arrested and charged with tampering with evidence in connection to the girl's death -year-old's death. Fucci, 14, has been charged with Bailey’s Mother’s Day murder. Investigators believe he stabbed Bailey 114 times. The former classmates had grown up in the same neighborhood but it does not appear that Fucci targeted Bailey specifically, though friends later said Fucci claimed he would kill someone in the near future. Surveillance video appears to show the pair walking together early the morning of May 9. Fucci is later seen running, alone, from the same area. Teen Aiden Fucci pled guilty to Tristen Bailey's murder. Crystal Lane Bailey pleaded no contest to tampering with evidence. She was sentenced to 30 days and has now been released.

The likelihood of the DNA found on a knife sheath found inside the Idaho student murder house being someone other that Bryan Kohberger is astronomical. An STR (short tandem repeat) analysis shows the suspect's DNA is a “statistical match.”
Documents state “the STR profile is at least 5.37 octillion times more likely to be seen if (the) Defendant is the source than if an unrelated individual randomly selected from the general population is the source.” An octillion is equal to a number followed by 27 zeros.

One of the bombshell pieces of evidence in the Bryan Kohberger murder case is the fact that Kohberger's DNA is a "statistical match" to DNA found on a knife sheath at the scene. Investigators found the Ka-Bar knife sheath "face down and partially under both Madison's body and the comforter on the bed."
A probable cause affidavit unsealed in January stated that the DNA found had been matched to Kohberger’s father. The elder Kohberger's DNA was recovered from trash outside the family home. A short tandem repeat (STR) analysis was performed to develop a profile. That profile was compared against material from Kohberger’s cheek swab. The result of the comparison is a statistical match—meaning the profile is at least 5.37 octillion times more likely to be from Kohberger rather than an unrelated random person.
The prosecutors have argued for sealing information related to the use of investigative genetic genealogy. Court documents state that is needed to protect from disclosure "the names and personal information of the hundreds of innocent relatives on the family tree, the names of the publicly available genetic genealogy services used, and certain other information."
Hear the arguments made by both legal teams.

Murders suspect Bryan Kohberger's defense team is asking a judge to stay proceedings in the case.
Attorney Anne Taylor is calling for prosecutors to disclose more materials, including the full record of the grand jury proceedings. Taylor says the information is necessary to Kohberger's defense, intended to quote, "preserve his right to contest the indictment."
While Kohberger's legal team is entitled to the transcript of the grand jury, there is a question of what other information could be handed over, such as people who were subpoenaed, or anything said off the record. This is as details are released on the probability of the DNA match from the knife sheath found at the murder scene. Court documents state that DNA collected from suspect Bryan Kohberger is a ‘statistical match’ for DNA on the sheath of the knife.
Kohberger’s attorney is asking a judge for more time to decide whether to offer a formal alibi for Kohberger in this case. Taylor said in a motion that the defense team had not had sufficient time to fully review the evidence provided by the prosecution. Thousands of pages of discovery, thousands of photographs, and hundreds of hours of recordings," have been provided to the defense.
Idaho law lays out 10 days for a criminal defendant to reveal whether an alibi will be offered. A judge can extend that deadline.

Empire co-star Jussie Smollett is out of jail while attorneys appeal his conviction for lying to police about a hate crime attack against him. Smollett began serving his 150 day sentence, but just days later the actor was released. Smollett’s attorneys arguing that he would complete the sentence by the time the process was completed.

Two murders, weeks apart.
Teen cheerleader Amie Hoffman vanished after leaving her part-time job. Two days later, her body is found floating in a retention tank at a local reservoir. Hoffman has been sex assaulted and stabbed repeatedly.
Twelve days later 25-year-old Deirdre O’Brien, 25, bangs on a truck driver’s door at a desolate rest stop pleading for help. She also has been stabbed. Before O’Brien dies, she describes her attacker as tall and slender with bushy hair and some facial hair.
No arrest is immediately made, but the next year, 1983, a break in the case surfaces. James Koedatich calls police, describing his escape from an attacker, who stabbed him. As emergency responders take Koedatich out on a stretcher, a responding officer sees a car that matches descriptions of a vehicle spotted at the mall the night of Hoffman's disappearance and at the rest stop where O’Brien is attacked.
The next day, Koedatich is named a suspect in the cases.

Casey White, the Alabama inmate freed by corrections officer Vicky White, reached a plea deal in connection with his escape.
White pleaded guilty to first-degree escape in exchange for no prosecution for felony murder, meaning he will not be tried for his lover’s death. Jailer Vicky White commits suicide as cops close in on her and fellow fugitive Casey White.
Authorities tracked down the Alabama outlaws to a motel in Evansville, Indiana. The pair attempted to flee when they realized police had found them, which led to a chase. A released 911 call appears to contain the last words of Vicky White. As sirens screech in the background, a woman’s voice says, "Airbags are going off! Let’s get out and run! We never should have left the hotel."
Dashcam video also reveals that when the vehicle rolled over, police could see that Vicky was holding a gun to her head. “She still has the gun in her hands,” one officer says in the video, “Finger’s on the trigger.”
Vicky White was hospitalized and died hours later. Casey White was extradited back to Alabama, where he has been charged with MURDER. He is already facing capital murder charges in connection with the death of Connie Ridgeway in 2015.
Sentencing for his escape is June 8. White is expected to receive a life sentence.

Today’s arraignment for Bryan Kohberger will be the first time the accused killer has been in court since his initial appearance after his arrest.
Kohberger was indicted last week as a grand jury found there was sufficient evidence to move forward with formal charges. That evidence will not be revealed at this hearing. Kohberger will be required to enter a plea on the 5 charges against him, four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary.
During the arraignment, the judge will reiterate Kohberger’s rights and read the charges against him, asking for a plea on each charge. In Idaho, there are only two pleas, guilty or not guilty, and a date for trial will be set. If Kohberger refuses to enter a plea or fails to appear, the court will enter a not-guilty plea on his behalf. Kohberger’s attorney has repeatedly said his client looks forward to clearing his name.
New information has been uncovered in the days before the arraignment. Bryan Kohberger was involved in another crime that happened before the student murders. This incident reportedly involved a female co-worker at Washington State University, according to a Dateline Report. Someone allegedly broke into the woman's apartment and moved things around.
Instead of calling police, the co-worker called Kohberger, who suggested and helped her, install security cameras. The report says Kohberger was behind that break-in and used those cameras to spy on her.

A 5-year-old Georgia boy, Cairo Ammar Jordan, found dead in a suitcase in Indiana laid to rest. His mother, Dejuane Ludie accused in his death, but she is still at large. Indiana police say another suspect, 40-year-old Dawn Elaine Coleman of Shreveport, Louisiana, is in custody.
Investigators say the little boy died from an electrolyte imbalance. The medical examiner says that the imbalance was most likely due to a “viral gastroenteritis” caused by excessive vomiting or diarrhea.
Toxicology tests came back negative and the boy had no severe injuries. Police do not believe the boy was alive when he was placed inside the suitcase.
A mushroom hunter found the hardshell suitcase, which features the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign. The boy's mother posted online recently saying she believed the child was really a 100-year-old demon.

One of Pantoja’s friends and a sibling went to her apartment, but the door was locked and no one answered. Midland police were called. Officers broke in and found Pantoja’s phone, keys and her dog inside. Her car was also still in the parking lot.

It's been nearly two decades since Alabama teen Natalee Holloway disappeared in Aruba.
Now, the man last seen with Holloway and also the man suspected of killing her will be extradited to the US. Joran van der Sloot will not be on trial for Holloway's murder however, but for extortion of money from her mother, Beth Holloway.
Beth Holloway says van der Sloot reached out to an attorney promising to explain what happened to Natalee and lead authorities to the remains. He asked for $250,000, which was $25,000 wired to him as part of an FBI sting.
This is the basis of the current wire fraud and extortion charges against him. Van der Sloot fled Aruba to Peru where he was arrested for the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores. She died five years, to the day, of Natalee’s disappearance. Joran van der Sloot was convicted and has been serving a 28-year prison sentence.
An extradition treaty with Peru is making temporary extradition possible.

Nefataree Bartell is last seen on February 21, 2023.
Bartell and her dog, Nova, were seen walking in the snow; a woman stopped to offer the 26-year-old a ride. Bartell had an address of a cabin. The driver took Bartell to Gold Creek Road and left her there to walk the rest of the way to her destination.
The driver, though, was concerned about a very pregnant Nefataree hiking the rest of the way in the snow.
As soon as the driver got to the highway, she called the sheriff's department. She told police that she had a "bad feeling" and asked them to do a wellness check on Bartell. It didn't happen.
Eight days later, the dog was found alive and well-nourished. Bartell has not been seen since.

Convicted killer Julie Schenecker returned to a Tampa courtroom begging a judge to grant her a new trial. Schenecker argued that her former lawyers made many mistakes and that media coverage tainted the jury. That argument didn't convince a judge however.
On January 27, 2011, Julie Schenecker did the unthinkable: Armed with a .38 revolver she had purchased five days before, the former Russian linguist fatally shot her teenage children in the head. Beau Schenecker, 13, was found dead in a car parked in the garage of the Scheneker’s upscale Tampa home; 16-year-old Calyx had been placed in her bed after was killed. Julie Schenecker reportedly lifted her daughter’s mouth in the shape of a smile in a bizarre staging of the body.
Calyx had been doing her homework on the computer in another room when Julie Schenecker came up behind her and shot her in the head, then in the face. Julie had already killed Beau, reportedly shooting him in the head as they were in the car, headed to soccer practice. Julie’s husband Parker Schenecker, at the time an army colonel, was stationed in Qatar when his children were killed.
In an interview with police just after the double homicide, Julie Schenecker admitted to shooting the children. She later changed her story, and said that she "saved them" Beau from alleged sexual abuse, and Calyx from mental illness.

Breanna Wood is last seen at a convenience mart, after texting her mother she was on her way home.
When she doesn't show, her mother, Fallon, files a missing person report. Months later, Breanna Wood's dismembered body is found inside a two-foot square box.
Seven people are charged in the case. Not all of those charged have yet to see a jury, but as the cases are being prepped Nueces County First Asst. District Attorney, Angelica Hernandez, came to Fallon Wood for help sorting through pre-trial evidence in the case against the man accused of actually murdering Breanna.
Wood was put into a room with boxes of evidence related to her daughter's case, including crime scene photos. For three days, Wood sat on the floor sorting all the interviews, photos, and more. Some videos Wood was allowed to take home.
The family's access to the evidence creates many problems. Claims of tampering could be levied and could lead to Fallon Wood being disqualified as a witness in her daughter's murder.

Bryan Kohberger's defense team is trying to compel one of the two women who survived mass murder in an Idaho home to testify.
Kohberger's attorneys have asked a Nevada court for Bethany Funke to travel to Idaho and testify as a witness for Kohberger. Funke does not want to appear and is fighting the subpoena through her own lawyer.
According to the defense, Funke has information that could prove Kohberger's innocence. Funke's attorney filed a motion, arguing that there is "no further information or detail pertaining to the substance of the testimony, its materiality, or the alleged exculpatory information of Ms. Funke or why it would be entertained at preliminary hearing.”
Funke’s lawyer also argues that Nevada law requires a hearing before the subpoena could be issued. There was no hearing.
As of now, the extent of Funke's testimony and whether it could help Kohberger is not known.

Last November was the last time 6-year-old Noel Rodriguez Alvarez was seen.
A tip to police prompted a wellness visit and then, Everman police and other investigators began a physical search for the boy after determining the mother gave a false story about Noel being in Mexico with his father. Turns out the father has never even met his son.
Family members also reported that Cindy Rodriguez Singh told a family member she sold him to someone at a grocery store. Singh, her new husband, and 6 other children left the US for India 3 days after the initial welfare check.
Police now say Noel's stepfather disposed of a large indoor/outdoor carpet at a nearby dumpster before they left. Investigators recovered that carpet and say it was used in the makeshift shed that was later torn down to build a suspicious concrete patio.
Cadaver dogs were bought in and alerted to the topsoil, but no remains were found.

Cult Mom Lori Vallow asks the judge to be allowed to leave the courtroom as photos of the decomposing bodies of her two children are shown to the jury.
The judge denied the request. Vallow then turned away from the scene, keeping her eyes shut during the display. Rexburg Police Detective Ray Hermosillo testified that 16-year-old Tylee’s body had been burned and destroyed, with the tissue remains placed in a partially melted plastic green bucket. JJ was wrapped in plastic, sealed by tape.
The search was reportedly so intense that officers got down on their "hands and knees" while digging. The smell, Hermosillo said, was so overpowering that officers had to rotate, and even then, one could only dig for just a few minutes.

An unsealed search warrant states that six weeks after the Idaho student murders, officers found ID cards connected to the victims in Bryan Kohberger’s possession.
Reportedly, the cards were found during a search of one of Bryan Kohberger’s homes. but where were they exactly?
Initial reports on the search warrant say the ID cards were “inside glove, inside box," leading some to believe that the ID cards were found inside the glovebox of Bryan Kohberger's car. Police would not confirm the report because of the gag order in the case.
Dailymail.com reporter Caitlyn Becker says, however, based on her review of the search warrant, the ID cards had been hidden away in Kohberger's parent's home. Becker reports the cards were found "inside a glove, inside a box" in the Albrightsville home, suggesting Kohberger had deliberately hidden the cards.
Police also believe they have evidence that could connect Kohlberger to what police are viewing as cyberstalking of someone from the Moscow residence.

Felicia LoAlbo-Melendez, 11, was being bullied in school. On top of this, she had just lost her father to pancreatic cancer.
By all appearances, the little girl was handling it all as best she could. Felicia told her mother, teacher, and the school administrator about the bullying that she and other students were subjected to. In fact, she wrote emails suggesting solutions to the school, like a "Trauma Club" where bullied kids would have a safe place to what was going on.
No one replied.
Felicia then reminded the adults that there were laws in place to protect the children and that the school was "breaking the laws" by not taking action.
Felicia LoAlbo-Melendez was found by another student in a bathroom stall. Her death was ruled a suicide.

Stephen Smith died mysteriously in 2015 in South Carolina.
Though his death was initially ruled a hit-and-run, it has more recently gained attention following the 2021 murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, which lead to the reopening of his case two years ago. The Murdaugh family was mentioned in the initial investigation, but no charges were filed.
Smith was found dead with a large gash on his forehead, a partially dislocated shoulder, and cuts and bruises on his hand. Authorities initially thought Smith had been shot, but no bullet or fragments were found. In March 2023, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) officially ruled Smith's death as a homicide.
In this episode of Body Bags, forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan and reporter Dave Mack discuss what types of injuries one sustains when hit by a vehicle, why Joe and Dave think the perpetrator was likely a local, exhumation, mirror strikes, and more.

A judge sentenced Aiden Fucci, now 16, to life in prison after his conviction of first-degree murder for stabbing a 13-year-old girl over 100 times. Fucci entered his guilty plea earlier this year.
During the investigation surveillance photos show the mother of teen murder suspect Aiden Fucci washing his clothes the day Tristyn Bailey was murdered. Crystal Smith was arrested and charged with tampering with evidence in connection to the 14-year-old's death. The former classmates had grown up in the same neighborhood but it does not appear that Fucci targeted Bailey specifically, though friends later said Fucci claimed he would kill someone in the near future. Surveillance video appears to show the pair walking together early the morning of May 9. Fucci is later seen running, alone, from the same area.

A Colorado dentist is charged with murder, accused of poisoning his wife, the mother of their 6 children.
Police say James Craig bought arsenic and cyanide, and secretly poisoned his wife's protein shakes. Angela Craig had made many recent hospital visits, and checked into a hospital again, complaining of a severe headache and dizziness. At around 2 p.m. she had a seizure. Craig was then moved to ICU and placed on life support. Her condition quickly declined and she died.
After Craig's death, one of James Craig's co-workers told a nurse that the dentist had ordered potassium cyanide which was delivered to the office. There was no medical reason for the order. Police seized the husband's computer and found disturbing searches.
It also came to light that James Craig had multiple affairs and a longstanding addiction to pornography, authorities said.

Cult mom Lori Vallow has pled not guilty to charges that she killed two of her children, JJ and Tylee.
Now, Vallow says she can prove it. She has an alibi. Lori Vallow says that her 7-year-old and her 16-year-old were killed while they were at her late brother’s apartment.
Vallow's trial is set to get underway on April 3, 2023. The judge separated the trials of Lori Vallow and her husband Charles Daybell, as Daybell did not file for a speedy trial.
Vallow's alibi notice, filed with the court, says she was in her own Rexburg apartment when Tylee and JJ died at the apartment where her brother, Alex Cox lived.
And in late-breaking news, the death penalty has been taken off the table in Vallow's case.

It has taken eight years but teen Stephen Smith's death will finally be investigated as a homicide.
The Smith family has never believed that the 19-year-old's death was a hit and run as determined by a previous investigation. In just a week, the South Carolina mom raised more money through a GoFundMe account than what is needed to pay for the exhumation of Smith's body. Now, all that's needed is court approval.
South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) Chief Mark Keel notified Smith's attorneys that the agency now officially considers Smith's death a murder. Smith's body was found miles away from his car and lying in the middle of the road. At first, responders thought he had been shot in the head, but the death was designated as a hit-and-run.

More than eight years after the death of South Carolina teen Stephen Smith, a push is on to have his body exhumed to determine his cause of death. A driver called 911 to report finding Smith's body in the middle of the road. Police say the 19-year-old had blunt force trauma to his head. At first police believed the injury to be a gunshot wound, but the coroner's office later rules Smith's death a hit-and-run. Smith's car had run out of gas. His family say there's no way Smith would have been walking in the middle of the road.

On March 15th in 44 B.C. Julius Caesar, the Roman dictator, was assassinated by a group of senators who stabbed him 23 times during a Senate meeting.
The senators claimed Caesar's concentration of power threatened the Roman Republic. However, their efforts to restore the Republic failed, and the aftermath led to a civil war and the rise of the Roman Empire. His death also led to the earliest recorded autopsy in history.
In this episode of Body Bags, forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan and special guest co-host Dave Mack discuss the purpose of autopsies, Caesar's life, and leadership, the details of how he was attacked, the injuries sustained, and how this event shaped the course of history.

The other mysterious deaths connected to the Alex Murdaugh family are now back in the news.
As convicted killer Murdaugh, await his prison designation, we learn that Stephen Smith's mother has raised enough money to pay for her son's body to be exhumed. In 2015 Stephen Smith was found dead in the middle of the road in Hampton County.
The openly gay 19-year-old had blunt force trauma to the head and his death was officially ruled as a hit-and-run. Smith’s family has never believed the teen's death was accidental. They say the actions credited to Smith were outside his normal behavior and the Murdaugh name popping up in the investigation set rumors flying.
Smith’s mother Sandy Smith launched a GoFundMe to raise money for an exhumation and independent autopsy. She has raised more than her goal.
An investigation is also still underway into the mysterious death of the Murdaugh’s longtime housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield.

Turner is accused of killing an elderly psychiatrist, who reportedly paid her rent and gave her money. The 71-year-old renowned psychiatrist was found beat to death in the trunk of Turner’s blue Mercedes Benz. The car had been abandoned on a dirt road, according to police. Two other suspects, identified as Jon Logan Kennison and Diana Nicole Pena also charged. Turner, 29, agreed to an Alford plea, which means Turner does not have to admit guilt, but does agree there is enough prosecutorial evidence for a jury to find her guilty.

Jodi Wilson wrote "Something happened while swaddling Skyler." Included in the text was a picture of Skyler wrapped in a sheet, face down, and duct taped to the floor. Skyler was taken to Brenner Children's hospital where a doctor explained to a detective that Skyler had a Hypoxic Brain Injury, caused by a lack of oxygen getting to his brain. The doctor said that Skyler’s brain injuries were consistent with “too much restriction” used during the so-called “swaddling” technique.

The former public official charged in the death of Las Vegas Review-Journal Investigative Reporter Jeff German now says he's being framed. Robert Telles called KLAS-TV asking for an interview to make his claims.
German was found stabbed dead outside his home. Days later, cops release surveillance video of a possible suspect in a wide-brimmed straw hat, an orange safety shirt, and black pants walking near the scene. More investigation revealed that German's reporting put him at odds with Telles.
German reported that Telles created a toxic work environment and was having an extra-marital affair with an employee. These claims seem to have cost Telles his re-election bid. Investigators searched Robert Telles' home, towing a red SUV, and finding shoes with apparent blood on them. A straw hat matching the one shown in the video was also found.
Both articles had been cut up in an effort to destroy evidence, but DNA under German's fingernails told police everything they needed to know.

The minor accused of raping Madison Brooks in the back seat of a car will be tried as an adult. Desmond Carter, 17, has been indicted for first-degree rape and third-degree rape.
Kaivon Washington, 18, is also charged with third-degree rape. Everette Lee, 28, and Casen Carver, 18, were charged with principal to third-degree rape, which means they were there when the incident occurred but did not take part in it.
LSU student Madison Brooks is killed after being hit by a car. Brooks was standing in the road at the time.
Police say Brooks left a Tigerland bar with four men. Two of the men, then allegedly rape the very inebriated 19-year-old. When Brooks cannot give the men her address, she is dropped off around 3 a.m. in a random neighborhood. That is when Brooks is hit by the car. That driver showed no signs or evidence of being impaired.
At first police said the suspects videotaped the assault but in the last hours, recanted those comments and apologized for the error. There is, however, a video of Brooks arguing with the men in the car.
The four men who left with Brooks claim the sex was consensual, but hospital staff says Brooks' blood alcohol level was nearly 4 times the legal limit.

Investigators say Strand got off a bus around 4:15 p.m. and was missing from the residence at some point before 5:15 p.m. after an argument with her stepmother. An hour-long search ensued, but when Strand could not be found, 911 was called.
Dozens of law enforcement and hundreds of volunteers joined the search effort. Police received a tip about the FedEx Driver Tanner Horner. When approached by police, Horner confessed. Police have not said whether Strand was sexually assaulted.

Alex Murdaugh's testimony at times seems more like a circus than a courtroom with talk of dogs, and chickens. Murdaugh first related at length how he removed a chicken from his dog's month and the timing of it at the kennel. Then under cross-examination, the accused killer went over the activities at the kennel again, in exactly detail. Both the defense and prosecution look to use this testimony. One side saying the information proves Alex Murdaugh could not be a killer, the other side saying the testimony shows he lied.
Murdaugh has repeatedly admitted that he stole money from clients and loved ones. He also admitted that he lied to police. So the question now is, can a jury believe that Murdaugh is now telling the truth when he says that he did not kill his wife and son.
Nancy Grace and Sheryl McCollum,Founder: Cold Case Investigative Research Institute, look at the possibilities.

Alex Murdaugh's cross-examination continued today with the disgraced attorney admitting that he had lied many times. Not only had he lied to investigators and clients but also his loved ones.
Still, he insisted that he was telling the truth about his innocence.
Murdaugh's testimony ended today and Dick Harpootlian, one of Alex Murdaugh’s lawyers, says more witnesses will be called on Monday. The prosecution could call two rebuttal witnesses after that. It's possible the case may be in the jury’s hands by mid-week.

Alex Murdaugh could take the stand in his own defense on Thursday.
New reports speculated on whether the accused killer will take the stand. The defense attorneys laid the groundwork, asking the judge about the range of questions Murdaugh could be asked on cross-examine, and whether Murdaugh would be able to take his Fifth Amendment right against incriminating himself.
Judge Clifton Newman said any ruling would be made as they happened, not before the testimony.
Also in court today, Murdaugh's former friend and law partner testified about going to Moselle after hearing about the murders. Mark Ball said he was angry and mortified after hearing an officer say, "we have all we need," referring to evidence of Ball finding a baseball size chunk of Paul Murdaugh's skull still lying on the kennel floor.

Alex Murdaugh's defense team began their day in court by calling Buster Murdaugh to the stand. He insisted that his father was “heartbroken” and “destroyed” after finding the bodies of his wife and son.
The disgraced lawyer seemed to wipe away tears as his son said, “He asked me if I was sitting down … he sounded odd and then he told me that my mom and brother had been shot.”
We also learned in testimony that just after discovering the bodies, Murdaugh searched online for a popular South Carolina restaurant. His phone records show a search for ‘Whaley’s Edisto’ in Safari browser” at 10:40 p.m. This timeline shows Murdaugh was still at the crime scene just 15 minutes after the first cop arrived. The restaurant he searched is one of the oldest in Edisto — where the Murdaughs’ main house is located.
Later in the testimony, a forensic expert testified that Alex Murdaugh was too tall to be the shooter.

After 61 witnesses, prosecutors in Alex Murdaugh’s double murder trial have rested their case.
Once the long holiday weekend is over, the defense will continue to call its witnesses. Murdaugh's attorneys called two witnesses after the lunch break. Attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin say they expect their case to take about a week.
Key testimony today before the prosecution rested included new phone data information, including the fact that Alex Murdaugh called 911 roughly 14 seconds after allegedly discovering his wife and son's bodies.
The data also showed Maggie Murdaugh's phone moving at the same time as her husband's vehicle. The data indicated that Murdaugh's vehicle sped up quickly, and away from the location where Maggie Murdaugh's phone was found.
Prosecutors can then put on a rebuttal case.

Jurors learned today that Paul and Maggie Murdaugh were shot at close range. Dr. Kenneth Kinsey testified about the graphic wounds the pair sustained. Kensey said the first shot didn't kill Paul.
In fact, Paul stood for a moment and began moving toward his killer, before he was hit with the second fatal shot. Kensey told jurors that the blood pattern proved this.
Judge Clifton Newman also reversed his decision about allowing testimony on Murdaugh's alleged botched suicide plot. Judge Clifton Newman initially announced he would prohibit jurors from hearing evidence about Alex’s alleged botched attempt, but will now allow it after the defense opened the door with questions about Murdaugh's drug abuse and drug contacts.

Another bombshell in the courtroom today as Judge Clifton Newman ruled that testimony regarding Alex Murdaugh's alleged roadside shooting. September 2021, Murdaugh claimed he asked another man to shoot him so his surviving son could obtain millions in life insurance.
Judge Newman ruled that the roadside shooting would be a “bridge too far” and “does not meet the logical relevancy test.”
In testimony today, the jury in Alex Murdaugh’s double murder trial saw more footage of Alex Murdaugh's interviews with state investigators. SLED agent Lt. David Owen testified about his question in of Murdaugh. Owen said at the time Murdaugh was “the only known suspect” in the case. The footage shows Murdaugh being confronted with inconsistencies in his statements: specifically that Murdaugh claimed he ate dinner with his family, took a nap, and then drove to his mother's. He said he discovered the bodies when he returned.
Regarding the video taken by his son, Murdaugh denies that it is his voice in the video. Murdaugh tells Owens that at 9 p.m. he was not at the kennels. The fact that Murdaugh had changed clothes was also brought up.
Maggie Murdaugh's sister testified that Alex never seems scared while everyone else was. She also testified that her sister thought Murdaugh had an affair 15 years ago.

Puddles of water became the focus of cross-examination today of the man who took care of Alex Murdaugh’s dogs. Dale Davis testified that puddles of water were not where they should have been when police responded to the murders. Dale Davis said that when he left the afternoon of the murders, that water hose that he meticulously hung up was on the ground in a video reportedly taken by Paul Murdaugh.
Roger Dale Davis Jr., cleaned the Murdaugh’s dog kennels twice daily. His routine involved hosing down the kennels with a hose. Davis would them roll up the hose oto keep it from breaking or kinking and then hang it outside.
In the video, Davis pointed out, the hose had pressure on it, indicating that it had been used, and it was kinked.
Under cross-examination, Davis acknowledged not everyone was as careful as he was with the hose.

A housekeeper for Alex Murdaugh testified today that the day after the double murders of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, that she was asked by Alex Murdaugh to clean the house.
Blanca Simpson revealed that when she went to the house several “very unusual” things stood out to her. They included food pots being in the fridge instead of left out for her to clean and Maggie Murdaugh's pajamas and underwear stacked neatly in the doorway of the laundry room.
Simpson said first that Maggie Murdaugh did not wear underwear with her pajamas and she also usually left pots and pans out for Simpson to clean.
Simpson then dropped a bombshell. She said when she went into the shower she noticed a small puddle of water, a tower,l and a pair of khaki pants which she washed.
Ms. Simpson says she has never seen those khakis or the seafoam-colored shirt Murdaugh was wearing the night of the murders, or his house shoes ever again after that day.

The chief financial officer of Alex Murdaugh’s former law firm took the stand today, testifying that she confronted Alex about missing money the same day his wife and son were killed.
Jeanne Seckinger told the court that she and Alex discussed structured settlements regarding the boat crash involving Paul. Alex reportedly sent those funds to Forge Consulting and was putting money in his wife’s name. Alex allegedly said he was sending the money to Forge as a favor to a friend, Michael Gunn, who was a top employee there.
In February 2019, Paul reportedly crashed his boat into Archer’s Creek Bridge killing Mallory Beach. The teen was ejected from the boat; five other people aboard were injured. Paul was charged with felony boating under the influence.
Also, did Alex Murdaugh change clothes before police arrived at Maggie and Paul Murdaugh's murder scene? Paul Murdaugh's video shows his father in long pants and a colored shirt. The video of Murdaugh's statement with police shows him in shorts and a white t-shirt.

Five words are a major focus at Alex Murdaugh's murder trial.
During a recorded conversation with investigators three days after the killings, the police body cam footage shows Murdaugh saying, “It’s just so bad. I did him so bad." He’s such a good boy, too.”
Many are claiming this is a possible slip-up, a statement of guilt in the death of his son. Defense attorneys however pushed a SLED agent to say that it was possible that Murdaugh said "they" not "I," but the agent did not waver from his original assessment.
Prosecutors went through the bullet evidence in detail looking at each casing, giving its caliber and recovery location.
Also discussed in court today were phone records of the victims and how they were tied to the timelines of their deaths.

SLED Special Agent Jeff Croft took the stand today in Alex Murdaugh's trial, testifying on several matters related to the night Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were murdered.
Croft told the jury that he interviewed Paul Murdaugh's good friend, Rogan Gibson, about the phone exchanges between himself and Paul, minutes before Paul was shot to death. Paul was caring for Gibson's dog, and they were discussing a possible problem with his tail. Croft testified that after Paul Murdaugh did not respond to a text, Gibson texted Maggie Murdaug, asking her to pass on a message to Paul to call Gibson.
Croft also testified that he entered the main residence of the Murdaugh's hunting property the day after the murders. Croft explains to jurors what they were seeing in body camera footage. He described how he arrived at the property and found spent .300 Blackout shell casings outside the exterior door of the gunroom. Prosecutors say they matched the casings found near Maggie Murdaugh's body.
Croft testified he was also looking for a 12 gauge shotgun as 12 gauge shell casings were found near Paul's body. There was not a gun found in the gun cabinet. Earlier in the day, defense attorney Dick Harpootlian was examining a crime scene tech of the trajectory angle of the bullets that killed Maggie and Paul Murdaugh suggested the possibility if not likelihood of two shooters.

61-year-old ex con Henry Tenon has been arrested and charged in the death of Jared Bridegan. Tennon has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder, accessory after the fact to a capital felony, child abuse and second-degree murder. The child abuse charge comes as Bridegan's 2-year-daughter is in the car when he was shot. The conspiracy charge means more arrests are expected, but the documents related to the arrest are sealed. An investigation shows that Tennon once lived in a home owned by ex-wife Shanna Gardner-Fernandez's new husband Mario Fernandez.
The night the 33-year-old Microsoft executive was shot, he drops his twins off at the home of his ex-wife, Shanna Gardner-Fernandez. Bridegan is with his 2-year-daughter as he drives home. On their way home, Bridegan stops to remove a tire from the middle of the road. There's no room to drive around it.
That's when the Microsoft executive is shot and killed by an unknown assailant. The little girl, Bexley, is reportedly in the car for several minutes as her father dies. Bridegan has been in lengthy custody and alimony disputes with his former wife and reportedly she has now hired a high-powered criminal defense attorney. The investigation continues.

LSU student Madison Brooks is killed after being hit by a car. Brooks was standing in the road at the time, but why?
Police say Brooks left a Tigerland bar with four men. Two of the men, then allegedly rape the very inebriated 19-year-old. When Brooks cannot give the men her address, she is dropped off around 3 a.m. in a random neighborhood. That is when Brooks is hit by the car. That driver showed no signs or evidence of being impaired.
The four men who left with Brooks have been arrested. They claim the sex was consensual, but hospital staff says Brooks' blood alcohol level was nearly 4 times the legal limit.
Kaivon Washington, 18, and an unidentified 17-year-old minor are charged with third-degree rape. Everette Lee, 28, and Casen Carver, 18, were charged with principal to third-degree rape, which means they were there when the incident occurred but did not take part in it.

Dramatic opening statements from both the prosecution and defense in the Alex Murdaugh murder trial as both attorneys laid out different versions of the same story.
Prosecutors say forensics will prove Murdaugh, 54, killed his wife and son. Defense attorney Dick Harpootlian says however that there is no forensic evidence to tie Murdoch to the murders. Harpootlian suggested that the crime may have been the work of two people because of two different weapons. The rifle that killed Maggie Murdaugh has not been found.
Murdaugh could be seen visually emotional as his attorney laid out in graphic detail the injuries Maggie and Paul Murdaugh suffered. Maggie Murdaugh, defense attorney Dick Harpootlian said, died running for her life, and Paul Murdaugh's brain was blown out of his skull.

Jury selection continues Alex Murdaugh murder trial with opening statements expected later in the day. Over the past two days, motions have been filed by the defense asking the judge to not allow some evidence be presented, including ballistics and some of the state's expert witness testimony. The judge ruled that a ballistics expert, a SLED agent, was credible.
Another point of contention, blood spatter evidence. The defense says the white t-shirt worn by Murdaugh, which the state says has blood spatter on it, has been damaged by testing so that defense experts cannot conduct their own tests. Both prosecutors and the defense agreed not to bring up the blood spatter evidence during opening arguments.

Before the start of jury selection in the murder trial of former Lowcountry attorney Alex Murdaugh, his defense team had already filed a motion seeking to block testimony on potential blood evidence.
Jury selection continues in Alex Murdaugh's murder trial. He's accused of shooting his wife, Maggie, and youngest son, Paul. More than 900 potential jurors were called and then divided up into panels. 32 jurors qualified from the first group. After the other groups are polled, the actual jurors and alternates would be selected from the parred-down pool.
Blood spatter evidence is also being discussed by the lawyers and the judge. Defense attorneys have filed a motion to block testimony on potential blood evidence.
Murdaugh was wearing a white t-shirt when he arrived at the property. Murdaugh’s defense team argues that their expert, after reviewing a report and analysis from a prosecution witness, said he could not form an opinion on whether the blood stains on Murdaugh’s shirt were consistent with back spatter from a gunshot.

Actor Alec Baldwin has been charged with involuntary manslaughter by New Mexico prosecutors related to the death of in connection with cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The shooting on set during the production of the film, "Rust."
Baldwin was allegedly four feet from the crew on set in a mock church pew when he used his right hand to reach across his body to grab the gun holstered on his left side.
He was reportedly aiming the gun toward cinematographer Halyna Hutchins when he drew back the hammer and released it. The bullet first went through director Joel Souza’s shoulder before striking Hutchins in the chest, killing her.
Armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed is also charged. Reed is facing criminal charges for allegedly loading the gun before handing it off to an assistant director, who then gave the gun to Baldwin before rehearsal.
Reports indicate crew members used the gun on the day of the shooting for target practice — and had used live rounds to shoot at beer cans to pass time on set.

The McConney family decides to take a Christmas vacation. It was a welcome break after the troubling situation the family found themselves in. Weeks before Christmas, Heather McConney opened her son’s phone, stumbling on disturbing conversations.
13-year-old Evan McConney had been communicating with a stranger through the online game Roblox. The two also reportedly communicated through Oculus, a virtual reality device. The parents then made all the right steps. They took away Evans’ devices and turned them over to Layton police.
The McConney family returned home from vacation on Monday. When the family woke up, Tuesday morning Evan was gone.
An investigation revealed Evan McConney and his online “friend” had been exchanging “sexual and inappropriate” messages for about three weeks. While Evan’s mom had taken steps to end the contact, the two reportedly found new ways to talk.
Evan McConney joined a Discord chat at his new friend’s invitation. It was through those chats that the two allegedly arranged to have McConney picked up from his home. Evan even took his passport with him, after his new friend encouraged him.
The "friend" is Aaron Zemen...a 26-year-old man, living in Arizona. Zemen has several social media accounts revealing his admitted dog fetish and that he is a furry. A furry is a person who is an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics.
Many of Zeman’s Twitter accounts are dedicated to his furry and puppy play fetish and contain photographs of his genitals and dog fetish clothing. Zeman had been using these accounts to tweet the 13-year-old.

Strands of hair, human as well as a possible animal strand, were found. A glove, computer and mattress covers were also removed.

Austin Lee Edwards poses as a 17-year-old boy to talk online with a 15-year-old girl. He then drives across the country to her Riverside home when she stops responding.
Edwards parks in a neighbor's driveway and goes inside the Winek home. Edwards kills the girl's mother and grandparents, sets the home on fire, and leaves with the girl.
Now we learn that Edwards had groomed at least one other victim. He was stalking and pressuring the minor for nude photographs. The Los Angeles Timesreports the now 21-year-old woman, who was not identified, was 13 years old when she met Edwards, then 20, on the online messaging platform Omegle.
The woman provided the Times with more than 4,000 messages sent in the two-year period after the two began corresponding over Skype, reflecting a sexually and emotionally toxic conversation.
“YO WHAT THE F**** I SAID I WANTED TITS WAITING ON ME WHEN I GOT BACK,” Edwards reportedly wrote in one message.
The woman, then a tween, replied, “iM SORRY.”
In 2016, as she began to pull away from him, Edwards began suggesting in video calls and text messages that he was hurting himself. Over one call, he showed her an injury that matched details of a police report around that time that ended with Edwards’ temporary detention in a psychiatric facility.
The woman told the Timesshe’d only realized she had post-traumatic symptoms years after finally blocking Edwards. “He did a lot of damage to me,” she said.
A neighbor calls police after noticing Edwards leading the girl, who "appeared distressed," into his car. Another neighbor also calls 911 after seeing flames coming from the home. When police arrive, Edwards and the girl are gone. Brooke, Sherie, and Mark Winek's bodies are found inside the home; Brooke Winek's other daughter is not home.
Police get Edward's license plate from cameras in Winek's neighborhood and track him into the Mojave Desert. A helicopter spots the car and cops pursue Edwards, who fires at the officers. Edwards turns the gun on himself and crashes the car. The girl was unharmed during the kidnapping and is now in protective custody.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The probable cause affidavit explaining why Brian Kohberger is the prime suspect in the murders of four Idaho students has been released. The documents contain some bombshell details, including the fact that one of the surviving roommates saw an intruder moments after the stabbings.
According to the affidavit, the surviving roommates said everyone in the home was asleep by 4 a.m. on November 13, except for victim Xana Kernodle. She had made a food order through Doordash and had used TikTok at 4:12 a.m.
One of the surviving roommates said they later heard a male voice say something like, “‘It’s ok, I’m going to help you.”
That roommate claimed they opened their door to spot a man in a mask walking toward her. She claimed she did not know the man, who she described as being athletically built with bushy eyebrows.
The suspect reportedly walked past the roommate and left the home through a sliding door. The roommate said she stood there in shock but eventually locked herself in her room.
The affidavit also alleges that Kohberger's phone was in the area of the home more than 12 times before the November 13 slayings.
According to the affidavit, Kohberger’s DNA was found on a knife sheath next to Maddie Mogen’s body. Cops reportedly acquired his DNA on December 27 by taking trash from his family’s home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania. The trash sample was reportedly a 99.98 percent match to the DNA located at the crime scene.

An arrest is made in the murders of four University of Idaho students.
Fourty-eight days after the brutal stabbing, Bryan Kohberger, 28, was arrested early Friday morning over 2,500 miles away in Pennsylvania. Kohberger has been charged with first-degree murder and felony burglary. An extradition hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.
Police answered few questions about what led up to Kohberger’s arrest, saying Idaho law requires the arrest affidavit be sealed until the suspect is “physically back in Latah County” and officially charged.
In the meantime, Kohberger's academics are being picked apart. Kohberger graduated from Northampton Community College with an associate of arts degree in psychology. He received a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in criminal justice from DeSales University.
Kohberger had just completed his first semester as a Ph.D. student in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Washington State University. He is also a teaching assistant there.

Driver is accused of abducting Irion from a Walmart parking lot. Police find the body of missing teen Naomi Irion after receiving a tip that leds them to her gravesite.

For 12 years, Emmy award-winning actress, Eva La Rue lived in fear of an unknown stalker. The actress received hundreds of letters addressed to her and later, her daughter, that detailed threats of rape, murder, dismemberment, and more. The stalker signed the letters as "Freddie Kruger," the fictional serial killer.
LaRue and her family moved several times, even out of the country, in the hopes that the stalker would not be able to find them, but the letters seemed to resume mere days or weeks after each move. The stalker even called Kaya's school, posing as her father, in an attempt to kidnap her.
Investigators identified DNA on the letters and cross-referenced that material with DNA information from commercial genealogy providers to identify relatives of the stalker. FBI agents were able to narrow down their suspect to 58-year-old James David Rogers, and a DNA sample collected from a discarded straw confirmed he was the stalker.
Rogers was sentenced to 40 months in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of mailing threatening communications, one count of threats by interstate communications, and two counts of stalking.

Mason Herring splits with his wife due to his cheating, but the couple attends counseling to work on their relationship.
During a session, Herring's wife reveals she is pregnant with their third child, which Herring is not happy to hear. He has plans to leave his wife for his mistress and now fears appearing to be a "jerk" for leaving his pregnant wife.
So, he tries to slip an abortion-inducing drug into his wife's drinks. First, Herring brings his wife a glass of water and insists that she drink it to "stay hydrated." She becomes violently ill, ending up in the hospital for her symptoms. The woman becomes suspicious of Herring and begins keeping the drinks he offers her, like orange and cranberry juice, as evidence instead of drinking it.
Herring's wife then installs surveillance cameras to catch Herring in the act and searches through the trash, discovering a prescription for Cyrux, a medication that contains Misoprostol — a drug that induces abortions.
Two days later, the woman catches Herring on video dumping a powder into a glass of water for her. She calls police, who arrest Herring for assaulting a pregnant person and assault-force induction to have an abortion.

Shanquella Robinson, 25, died on October 29, one day into a girls' trip to Cabo with six friends. Police records, Robinson's death certificate, and the stories told by Robinson’s friends all give conflicting accounts of her death. The friends initially told Robinson's family she died from alcohol poisoning in the presence of a doctor, who had been on the scene for about three hours. But the death certificate said that she died from a severe neck injury about 15 minutes after receiving the injury.
A video surfaced after Robinson’s death that appears to show one of Robinson's companions beating her. Robinson does not fight back, and in fact, a voice is heard on the video asking her to do so.
Mexican authorities and the FBI are investigating the case, and Mexico issued an arrest warrant and extradition request for one of Robinson’s traveling companions. The U.S. Department of Justice and, ultimately, the Secretary of State will make a decision on whether the extradition will be allowed. No arrests have been made.

Legal battles are not over for Amber Heard. Johnny Depp was awarded $8.3 million dollars in court after a jury agreed that his former wife, Heard, defamed the 'Pirates of the Carribean" actor. Heard's insurer sued saying the actress' policy does not cover any of the $8.3 million because it doesn't cover "willful" misconduct. That is what the jury found Heard was liable for. Initially, a judge agreed saying the insurers do not have to cover any payouts. Now Heard is countersuing New York Marine and General Insurance Co. that it promised to pay her defense costs and judgments against her up to a million dollars, no matter what. She says the company hasn't lived up to their end of the bargain.

Detectives are now sifting through eight hours of surveillance video from a Moscow gas. A clerk there spotted the now infamous white Hyundai Elantra that police identified as being seen near the home where four University of Idaho students were stabbed.
An overnight assistant manager from the station told Fox News Digital that she's been reviewing the tapes over the past few days during her downtime on the graveyard shift. She recognized the white sedan passing by at 3:45 a.m. on the night of the murders. She said the car drove by "real quick" and turned down a side street off Highway 8.
The clerk sent a photo of the car and video to an email address police set up to receive tips, and a few hours later, detectives gathered the footage.

It's been over a year since Michael Vaughn vanished from his family home. Tips lead police to the home of a neighbor, Sarah Wondra. The 35-year-old was charged with failure to report the death of 5-year-old Vaughan.
Police then spent more than a week excavating the home's backyard and announced their findings. FPD Chief JD Huff says police believe Vaughan's body was buried in Wondra's backyard and then moved to another location.
All the cadaver dogs used in the search "alerted" in the yard. Ground penetrating radar also detected "anomalies." Additional evidence was found in the home, but that information is not yet being released.
Huff also announced the identities of two other people thought to have knowledge in Vaughan's disappearance, Brandon Shurtliff, 30, and Adrien Lucienne, 32. Both men are now out of state. Shurtliff and Lucienne were staying at the Wondras' home.
The search for Michael Vaugh's body continues.

Idaho police taking a step back from their comments that the four University of Idaho students killed in their bedrooms, were targeted.
Originally, comments were made by investigators that the public "will just have to trust us," that the evidence collected indicated that the students were the intended victims of the murders and that the public at large is safe.
Now, in a released statement, the Moscow Police Department says these comments came from a miscommunication with the Latah County Prosecutor’s Office, and that "detectives do not currently know if the residence or any occupants were specifically targeted but continue to investigate."
Last night the University of Idaho held a vigil in honor of the student. Several hundred people attended.

Witnesses tell police they encountered a "kinda creepy" man at the bridge wearing a blue jacket, black boots, and a black hoodie. Another witness said she spotted a man dressed similarly walking away from the Monon High Bridge on the day in question. She noted his clothes were “muddy and bloody." Investigators said security footage captured Allen’s Ford Focus in the area on February 13, 2017, at around 1:27 p.m. Allen also reportedly admitted that he was on the bridge on February 13, 2017 in a police interview, claiming he was there to watch the fish.
In October 2022, investigators obtained a search warrant for Allen’s residence where they found a .40 caliber pistol. The Indiana State Police Laboratory examined the bullet found at the crime scene and ultimately determined that it came from the pistol registered to Allen, and “forensically determined” that the bullet cycled through his gun. Allen claimed he never let anyone else use his gun, but he had no explanation for the bullet found at the crime scene.

Shanquella Robinson and six of her friend take a vacation to San José del Cabo in Mexico. One day later, the 25-year-old is dead. Salamondra Robinson spoke with her daughter the day before she died and tells Nancy Grace that all seemed well. Robinson said she was having a good time.
Initially, Robinson’s mother was told by the friends that Shanquella had died from alcohol poisoning, but the autopsy told a different story.
Robinson’s died due to “severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation.” Atlas luxation means an instability or excessive movement in the top neck vertebrae.
A viral video surface of Robinson being beaten inside her room. She is seen being thrown to the floor and beaten on the head.
Now Mexican authorities have issued an arrest warrant for one of the women traveling with Robinson. A name has not been released but authorities want the suspect extradited back to Mexico to face charges. As yet, what those charges may be has not been named.

She talked to her family regularly. She called her boyfriend every morning on the way to work, and she never missed work, most certainly not without letting her boss know if she needed to be off.
Not only was Jennifer missing, but so was her car. It's found two days later, parked in an apartment complex over a mile from her home and wiped clean. Jennifer Kesse has not been seen since 2006.

Amy Mihaljevic was just 10 years old when she went missing. She told friends at school the day she disappeared that she was going with someone to buy her mom a surprise gift.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing Amy speaking with a white male, at a local ice cream shop and then leaving with him through a parking lot. Later police discover that Mihaljevic and other girls in the area had been contacted by telephone by the abductor. The estimated 30-something-year-old man arranged to meet Mihaljevic after school.
Just over three months later, Amy's body was found by a jogger in a farm field in a nearby town. Investigators say it appears the little girl's body was most likely dumped shortly after her abduction. Mihaljevic dies from a combination of stab wounds to the neck and a blow to her head.
Some of the things that were known to be with or on Mihaljevic that day have never been found: the boots Amy was wearing, a denim backpack, a binder with "Buick, Best in Class" written on it, and turquoise earrings in the shape of horse heads.

For 12 years, Emmy award-winning actress, Eva La Rue lived in fear of an unknown stalker. The actress received hundreds of letters addressed to her and later, her daughter, that detailed threats of rape, murder, dismemberment, and more. The stalker signed the letters as "Freddie Kruger," the fictional serial killer.
LaRue and her family moved several times, even out of the country, in the hopes that the stalker would not be able to find them, but the letters seemed to resume mere days or weeks after each move. The stalker even called Kaya's school, posing as her father, in an attempt to kidnap her.
Investigators identified DNA on the letters and cross-referenced that material with DNA information from commercial genealogy providers to identify relatives of the stalker. FBI agents were able to narrow down their suspect to 58-year-old James David Rogers, and a DNA sample collected from a discarded straw confirmed he was the stalker.
Rogers was sentenced to 40 months in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of mailing threatening communications, one count of threats by interstate communications, and two counts of stalking.

The family of Claudio Mandia sues an elite New York school after their 17-year-old son commits suicide. Mandia was accused of cheating and admitted to having another student compose a math paper for him.
The school, EF Academy, expelled Mandia and is accused of putting him in solitary confinement until his family could arrive from Italy. School officials dispute the claim.
The year leading up to Mandia's death was rife with personal issues that affected the boy's academic performance. There was a bout with Covid and a close family member died after an illness. There was also the additional stress of trying to make up the mound of assignments that Mandia missed when he was sick.
The family's suit alleges wrongful death, negligence, false imprisonment and emotional distress, among other charges. The suit also alleges that the school “often recklessly disregards the psychological needs of its students."
It notes that one of Mandia's classmates had tried to kill himself the year before.
A spokesperson for EF Academy says the filing contains "multiple inaccurate statements."
Mandia's family says he originally applied to the rigorous academic program to lay a foundation for him to fulfill his dream of attending a top university in Italy.

A 9-year-old North Carolina boy was reportedly forced to live locked in a dog cage for the last six months. The boy's father, stepmother, and the stepmother's aunt were arrested on child abuse and related charges.
The trio is facing a total of 19 felony child abuse indictments. Deputies responded to the family home on October 19 after receiving an anonymous 911 call regarding possible child abuse. The caller reportedly told police that her husband had previously taken food to the victim.
Upon arrival, deputies noticed the boy inside a locked dog kennel wearing no shirt, jeans, and no shoes, even though temperatures were below freezing and frost was on the ground.
Deputies found the stepmother inside a bedroom with a 4-year-old under the bed and the 8-month-old still in her arms. She claimed she didn’t know the combination for the cage lock, forcing EMS and deputies to break the cage open.
The 9-year-old was taken to the Brenner’s Children’s Hospital in Winston-Salem, police said, where he received a medical checkup and was released the same day.

McKenna Brown, a teen hockey star, commits suicide after alleged bullying by three hockey teammates.
The group of teens had been friends for years, but that changed when Brown asked one of the girls if it would be ok for her to begin talking with that girl's former boyfriend. The girl said yes, but her actions over the next few days proved it was far from fine. The girls allegedly began harassing Brown via text messages. Even after Brown apologized, the attacks continue.
The teammate encouraged others to cut ties with McKenna and “leave her without a single friend.” The bullies also reportedly shared deeply private information about Brown's sexual assault with other members of the hockey team. Within hours, Cheryl Brown would find her daughter dead on the bedroom floor.
Since the bullying came to light, the three teammates have been suspended pending the outcome of an investigation into what happened. The Lightning High School Hockey League launched a probe, as did the Statewide Amateur Hockey of Florida, and USA Hockey hired outside counsel to perform another review.
The girls are appealing their suspension.
No one has been charged in connection with McKenna Brown's death.

We have also learned that while at work, Allen developed photos of the girls, to be used at their funeral, for the families at no charge.
Police say Allen came forward as a witness in the early days of the investigation, but nothing at that time linked him to the crime.

Attorneys for Kaitlin Armstrong file motions trying to keep the Austin woman's interview with police thrown out.
Armstrong's attorneys are in essence accusing the Austin Police of violating the accused killer's Constitutional Rights. Attorney Rick Cofer says Armstrong was detained under false pretenses, was not read her Miranda rights, and police repeatedly ignored Armstrong's requests for an attorney.
Cofer also says the case against Armstrong is based on a misogynistic view, with police characterizing Armstrong as a possessive, jealous woman. Cofer says as far as Armstrong's black SUV being at the crime scene, "you can't be in two places at one."
However, Cofer refuses to say where Armstrong was.

Florida boy, JoJo Morales, 6, who was kidnapped by his religious fanatic dad and his grandmother, has been found.
Police say the boy was found safe 2,000 miles away in Canada. A private investigator working the case found an abandoned SUV containing items belonging to the little boy — in Maine very near the Canadian border.
Morales went missing after his father failed to return the child to his mother as part of their custody agreement. A tipster spotted JoJo at a Walmart.
Police believe 45-year-old Jorge Morales planned his disappearance act for more than a year, before taking his autistic son.

It's been over five years since two Delphi girls, Abby Williams and Libby German, were murdered near a popular hiking trail across Monon High Bridge. Today, law enforcement announce an arrest in the case as 50-year-old Richard M. Allen remains behind bars, charged with two counts of murder.
The probable cause affidavit has been sealed, so evidence linking him to the crime is not yet available to the public. Allen has pleaded not guilty and is expected back in court in January.
Police say the investigation into the Delphi Murders is still ongoing and the tip line in the case will remain open.

0:36 - Brief overview of the homicide case involving victim Francis Kelly
1:14 - Introduction of CrimeOnline’s Jackie Howard
2:09 - When Francis Kelly's body was discovered, police found him on his couch in his home and a bag of cocaine underneath him
2:57 - The difference between fentanyl and cocaine
4:32 - Left ventricular hypertrophy
8:11 - Fentanyl was originally developed as a partner for surgical use
10:00 - How fentanyl works within the body vs. cocaine
11:08 - Narcan and its uses
16:03 - Questions: How did he get the fentanyl in his body? Is that a normal way of taking fentanyl? Is that way going to have a different reaction in the body? Would he have tasted it? Does ingesting it offer a different kind of effect?
19:26 - What is skin popping?
24:52 - “There is nothing as an investigator that will make you stop cold in your tracks than an unexpected result at autopsy. It's something that makes you question your abilities. It's something that makes you question the care that you took with the case because this is key: Once the scene has been left, the body has been removed from the scene, and can never reset.”
25:34 - Autopsy reports that Kelly was in fact strangled and did not OD as suspected
26:32 - Question: Kelly was strangled with a tie. Why was that not originally obvious? Specifically, because ligature marks typically leave a mark
31:51 - We later find out that Kelly's death was a result of a custody dispute between Littlefield and Kelly. Littlefield claimed Kelly was abusive
32:22 - Question: The other thing that we find out, which I find very interesting and kind of explains some things about the cocaine, knowing that he died from fentanyl and that it was cocaine that was found. We're looking at a good case of staging here, aren't we, Joe?
38:57 - The verdict is in
39:28 - Heidi Littlefield was sentenced to 115 years in a state prison, which included 60 years for murder. 20 years for attempted poisonings, and 35 years for conspiracy to commit murder resulting in a death

A 5-year-old Georgia boy found dead in a suitcase in Indiana earlier this year now has a name, Cairo Ammar Jordan, and his mother is accused in his death.
Dejuane Ludie, 57, Anderson of Atlanta, is on the run. Indiana police say another suspect, 40-year-old Dawn Elaine Coleman of Shreveport, Louisiana, is in custody.
Investigators say the little boy died from an electrolyte imbalance. The medical examiner says that the imbalance was most likely due to a “viral gastroenteritis” caused by excessive vomiting or diarrhea.
Toxicology tests came back negative and the boy had no severe injuries. Police do not believe the boy was alive when he was placed inside the suitcase.
A mushroom hunter found the hardshell suitcase, which features the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign. The boy's mother posted online recently saying she believed the child was really a 100-year-old demon.

Murder charges have been filed in the disappearance of Harmony Montgomery. New Hampshire police say that dad Adam Montgomery has been officially charged with second-degree murder.
Police said that “on or about Dec. 7, 2019,” Montgomery repeatedly struck 5-year-old Harmony “in the head with a closed fist.”
New Hampshire police say the then 5-year-old went missing sometime between Nov. 28 and Dec. 10, 2019. Her disappearance was not reported for two years. Police say new evidence, which was not revealed, indicated Montgomery is dead.
The family of Harmony Montgomery says the New Hampshire Division For Children Youth and Families failed the little girl. According to Blair Miller, who adopted Harmony's younger brother, DCYF officials told him, Harmony had been reunited with her father. Miller had asked about the possibility of adopting Harmony as well.
According to court documents, Kevin Montgomery, Adam's Uncle, called DCYF after he noticed Harmony had a black eye. Kevin Montgomery later told police his nephew, Adam, admitted to physically abusing Harmony.
Montgomery's remains have not been found.

Two teens escaped a Texas house of horrors, telling neighbors they were being abused.
The two 16-year-old twins (a boy and girl) arrived at a neighbor’s home in Cypress at around 5:30 a.m. The twins could be seen in the neighbor's doorbell camera video barefoot and shivering.
The boy had no shirt on. The twins also said they were hungry and that they hadn't eaten in a week.
The Good Samaritan said the twins told her, "that their mom kept them locked in the laundry room, naked, zip tied from the ankles and handcuffed from the wrist.”
When investigators interviewed the twins, they reportedly said they were not allowed to use a toilet and were made to drink their own urine and live in the laundry room, which was filled with feces.
Police detained the children’s mother, identified as Zaikiya Duncan, 40, along with her boyfriend, Jova Terrell, 27.

Jeff German, a Las Vegas Review-Journal Investigative Reporter, is found dead outside his home. Now his alleged killer cries in court.
Days later, cops release surveillance video of a possible suspect in a wide-brimmed straw hat, an orange safety shirt, and black pants walking near the scene. More investigation revealed that German's reporting put him at odds with elected Public Administrator, Robert Telles.
Earlier this year, German reported that Telles created a toxic work environment and was having an extra-marital affair with an employee. These claims seem to have cost Telles his re-election bid. Investigators searched Robert Telles' home, towing a red SUV, and finding shoes with apparent blood on them. A straw hat matching the one shown in the video was also found.
Both articles had been cut up in an effort to destroy evidence, but DNA under German's fingernails told police everything they needed to know. Telles has been arrested for German's murder, and held without bail.

Alisa Mathewson and her estranged husband Trevor Summers had been going through a bitter divorce. The couple had five children. There were allegations that Summers was obsessed and possessive, and a restraining order against him backed those allegations.
Then one night Summers tricked his then-14-year-old daughter into leaving a window unlocked for him. He told he want to talk to Mathewson. Summers broke into the house and attacked Mathewson in her bedroom, holding her there for hours after sending the children to his home.
Summers tied up his estranged wife with Christmas lights and then a vacuum cleaner cord. After hours of being bounded and gagged, Mathewson says she was raped twice. Summers then hogtied her and tried to smother her to death with a pillow. He then made Mathewson leave with him.
Summers drove to a Walgreens, where Mathewson, with her hands tied behind her back, tried to get away. An employee saw it all and called the police. Summers was charged with two counts of attempted murder in the first degree, sexual battery, and kidnapping.

Today's episode of Crime Stories with Nancy Grace was broadcast before the body of Princeton University student Misrach Ewunetie was found. The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office says a facilities employee discovered Ewunetie's body Thursday afternoon, behind some tennis courts. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause and manner of death. Officials say there are no obvious signs of injury.
Our condolences to the family.
Princeton University junior Misrach Ewunetie was last seen in her dorm, but her cellphone pinged near an off-campus housing complex two days after she disappeared.
Authorities have searched the outside areas of the complex multiple times. Officers could not go inside homes without a warrant but residents did talk with some people who lived in the area.
Misrach's brother, Universe Ewunetie, told The Sun that his sister missed an important meeting the day after she disappeared.
Misrach is 5-foot-4 and about 130 pounds with brown eyes, and black hair. She was valedictorian of her high school class and earned a full scholarship to Princeton.

Attorneys for disgraced South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh are pointing the finger at Murdaugh's cousin Curtis "Eddie" Smith.
In a new court filing, the lawyers say that Smith, who reportedly failed a polygraph, should have been more rigorously investigated as a prime suspect by police.
During a polygraph five months ago, Smith was asked three times about his involvement in the shootings that killed Maggie and Paul Smith. Smith replied, no, to those questions, meaning he was not involved.
Police sources say Smith's answers indicate an attempt at deception. He lied. Smith has said he was “nowhere near” the property when the shootings occurred.

It’s the morning of March 31st, 2020. A jogger finds Dr. Beth Potter and her husband Robin Carre shot in the head execution-style in University of Wisconsin Arboretum. Carre is pronounced dead on the scene by police while his wife, who was still alive, was rushed to the hospital where she also dies.

Edward Goodwin went missing in June 2015. For more than two years, his family didn't know what happened to their son. Eventually, witnesses say Goodwin had been beaten to death, his body dumped into a pond.
The sheriff’s department partially drained the pond and found human hip bones, a femur bone, and some ribs. Edward Goodwin's body had been found, but the rest of his body was never recovered. This is despite assurances from law enforcement that the recovery would happen.
After waiting for authorities to act, Connie Goodwin, Edward's mom, took it upon herself to get her son back. The Goodwins rented a sump pump to drain the pond themselves.
As they started pumping the water out, bones could be seen sticking up through the water. The coroner was called and Edward Goodwin came home.

New interrogation videos show Keith Papini's shock at finding out his wife's kidnapping was actually a hoax. Keith Papini described himself to investigators as "the idiot husband that stayed around the whole time."
The 39-year-old mom was reported missing on November 2, and told investigators when she was found 22 days later that a pair of Hispanic women kidnapped her at gunpoint. Papini said her kidnappers abused her and then shoved her out of a car.
Papini was emaciated, her hair was cut shorter, and she had cuts and bruises all over her body, but prosecutors said she caused the injuries herself. The case was broken in 2020 when DNA led investigators to Papini’s ex, who told them she had been with him the entire time.
Federal prosecutors charged Papini with 34 counts of mail fraud and one count of making false statements. Papini accepted a plea deal but didn't explain why she created an elaborate kidnapping hoax, although she apologized for her actions. Since her arrest, Papini's husband has started divorce proceedings, and Sherri Papini soon begins her jail sentence.

Georgia police say the murder of Athens mom Debbie Collier is not a random event. Detectives say this is a targeted event. Collier went missing after sending a bizarre text to her daughter.
The bizarre message reportedly sent by Debbie Collier to her daughter, Amanda Bearden, along with $2,385 through Venmo says, “They are not going to let me go love you there is a key to the house in the blue flower pot by the door.”
After receiving the message, Collier’s daughter tried to call her mom but could not get through. Collier was found the next day in a ravine, naked, her body burned. Police tracked a rental vehicle Collier was using to a wooded area 60 miles away from the family’s Athens home.
Collier's husband told police that he last saw his wife at about 9 p.m. on Friday, September 9, as he was going to bed. The husband went to work on Saturday morning and told investigators that his wife’s vehicle was still in the driveway at that time.
The New York Post reports that the couple’s neighbor said they heard some sort of commotion going on at Collier’s home the night before she vanished.
Anyone with information on the case should contact Habersham Sheriff’s Investigators Cale Garrison at 706-839-0559 or George Cason at 706-839-0560.

Questions are being raised about the impact of the new Netflix documentary, "Sins of Our Mother," on Lori Vallow's chances of a fair trial.
Vallow's attorneys point to media coverage surrounding the case making it impossible for that to happen. To that point, Vallow's attorneys asked the judge to ban cameras from the courtroom, saying that the privilege had been abused by repeated "zooming in on Vallow Daybell's face" during a hearing.
They raised the possibility of documents being scrutinized that way as well. Jim Archibald and John Thomas also claimed the cameras and microphones could potentially be used to overhear private conversations between the attorneys and client.
Seventh District Judge Steven Boyce has now ruled that cameras, both video and stills will no longer be allowed from the courtroom.

Florida boy, JoJo Morales, 6, missing after being kidnapped by his religious fanatic dad. Police believe 45-year-old Jorge Morales planned his disappearance act for more than a year, before taking his autistic son.
The senior Morales' mother, 68-year-old Lilliam Pena Morales, is also missing. Mom Yanet Concepcion arrived at her ex-husband's home to pick up her son, finding it empty.
Last week, a private investigator working the case found an abandoned SUV containing items belonging to the little boy — in Maine very near the Canadian border. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has issued an Amber Alert for JoJo, and US Marshals have offered a $10,000 reward.

A judge has been asked to set aside his ruling that an Iowa teen must pay restitution to her rapist's family after she stabbed him dead.
Pieper Lewis,15, was reportedly being sex trafficked when she killed Zachary Brooks. According to Lewis, her boyfriend pulled a knife on her and forced her to go to Zachary Brooks’ apartment in June 2020. Lewis claimed Brooks, 37, had raped her multiple times in the weeks leading up to the slaying.
Once at the apartment, Brooks allegedly made Lewis get undressed, drink alcohol, and smoke marijuana while they watched a movie. Lewis admitted to stabbing Brooks 30 times, but she claimed she did not plot to kill him.
Instead, she stated that she became enraged after she woke up to Brooks raping her and ignoring her pleas to stop. Lewis pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and willful injury. She was sentenced to five years of probation and was also ordered to pay $150,000 to the slain man’s family.
Polk County prosecutors never denied allegations that Pieper was trafficked and a rape victim. The Des Moines Register reported that state law requires individuals convicted of homicide to pay $150,000.
Polk County District Judge David M. Porter ordered the judgment, to be Brooks’ estate, after rejecting defense attorneys’ argument that he was 51 percent responsible for the deadly incident.

In April 2020, Katie and John Palmer, walking in their Denison, TX neighborhood are struck from behind by an F-250. The couple is knocked about 75 feet. John Palmer, who suffers a broken back, crawls over to his wife, watching her take her last breath. The driver was later identified as Cory Foster, one of the Palmer's neighbors.
Foster tells cops that fog and sun glare prevent him from seeing the couple. Cops push for a breathalyzer test and Foster blows a .06 BAC, but no blood test was conducted. House Bill 558 passed after Katie Palmer's death. This bill ensures that drivers are blood tested when involved in any accident that causes serious bodily harm or kills a pedestrian. The legal limit in Texas, is .08 BAC. After questioning, a trooper takes Foster home.
A grand jury has twice declined to charge Cory Foster. The Palmer family has a civil suit pending against Cory Foster. A jury trial is set for October 17th.

Nicolas Cruz pleaded guilty to killing 17 people, including students and teachers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The penalty phase of the trial is underway with jurors being asked to decide whether Cruz should spend the rest of his life in prison or be sentenced to death.
So far there have been 11 days of defense testimony, including the shooter's biological sister, who did not grow up in the same household as Cruz. During her testimony, she was asked about her mother's use of heavy use of alcohol while pregnant and her knowledge of a reality show based on another brother, Zachary Cruz.
A heated exchange between the judge and the defense has resulted in a motion being filed by the defense for Judge Elizabeth Scherer to remove herself from the case. When the defense suddenly rested its case without notice, Scherer called the defense decision "the most uncalled for, unprofessional way to try a case."
The defense had indicated an intention to call 40 witnesses but rested after only 25. The sudden announcement meant prosecutors weren't ready to start their rebuttal case.

A jury find Missouri husband Beau Rothwell guilty of killing his pregnant wife missing. Jennifer Rothwell's car is found abandoned just a mile from home. Beau Rothwell tells police he last saw Jennifer Rothwell, 28, that morning as she left for work.
Days later, Jennifer Rothwell's body is found in a wooded area along Highway 61 near Troy.
An autopsy stated that she suffered blunt force trauma to the head. The day after Jennifer Rothwell went missing, Beau Rothwell is arrested. Police believe he killed his wife — who was six weeks pregnant — sometime on November 11.
Search warrants alleged that Jennifer Rothwell used the internet to search, “What to do if your husband is upset you are pregnant.” The same documents also stated that Beau Rothwell cleaned up some blood and left a small window to the garage open, despite freezing temperatures, to “dissipate the odor.”
Beau Rothwell reportedly told authorities where his pregnant wife’s remains were located. Turns out Beau Rothwell was having an affair and made a pro/con list on whether to stay in the marriage.

Jeff German, a Las Vegas Review-Journal Investigative Reporter, is found dead outside his home.
Days later, cops release surveillance video of a possible suspect in a wide-brimmed straw hat, an orange safety shirt, and black pants walking near the scene. More investigation revealed that German's reporting put him at odds with elected Public Administrator, Robert Telles.
Earlier this year, German reported that Telles created a toxic work environment and was having an extra-marital affair with an employee. These claims seem to have cost Telles his re-election bid. Investigators searched Robert Telles' home, towing a red SUV, and finding shoes with apparent blood on them. A straw hat matching the one shown in the video was also found.
Both articles had been cut up in an effort to destroy evidence, but DNA under German's fingernails told police everything they needed to know. Telles has been arrested for German's murder, and held without bail.

Alex Murdaugh's attorney accuses prosecutors of “hiding the ball” and not handed over any evidence they have in the deaths of Murdaugh’s wife and son. Attorney Dick Harpootlian and attorney Jim Griffin filed a motion to compel prosecutors to reveal evidence. It's been more than a month since Murdaugh was indicted by a state grand jury of murdering is wife and son. Harpootlian said the motion asked Judge Clifton Newman to order that evidence be turned over to the defense “immediately without delay.” Part of that evidence, according to FITSNews, is high-velocity spatter found on a shirt worn by Murdaugh that may show he was present at the time his wife and son were murdered. In the last days, Judge Clifton Newman ordered the evidence released, along with a temporary protective order in place, that is to ensure only lawyers and people testifying will be able to see the evidence.

Just over three months later, Amy's body was found by a jogger in a farm field in a nearby town. Investigators say it appears the little girl's body was most likely dumped shortly after her abduction. Mihaljevic dies from a combination of stab wounds to the neck and a blow to her head.
Some of the things that were known to be with or on Mihaljevic that day have never been found: the boots Amy was wearing, a denim backpack, a binder with "Buick, Best in Class" written on it, and turquoise earrings in the shape of horse heads.

Theresa Fillingim was almost 17 years old when she disappeared. She was living with her sister in Florida, trying to find a job.
Fillingim leaves for an interview and is never seen again. Now, the remains of the Florida teen found 41 years ago, buried on the property of a serial killer, have been positively identified. Three other bodies were also found.
Police said the teen’s remains were found on property owned by Billy Mansfield Jr., responsible for murdering at least five women in California and Florida. In 1982, Mansfield Jr. was sentenced to life in a California prison, where he remains today.
With the help of the University of North Texas and the Virginia-based DNA company, Parabon Nano Labs, officials were able to positively identify Fillinghim through a DNA match with her sister.

Soldier Vanessa Guillen was brutally murdered at a Texas military base by fellow soldier Spc. Aaron Robinson. A document from the Texas Department of Public Safety reveals that Robinson killed Guilllen was because she saw a photo of a woman on Robinson's phone. That photo was of Cecily Aguilar, the wife of another soldier, with whom Robinson was having an affair. According to Aguilar, who is also charged in Guillen's death, Robinson was worried about getting in trouble for violating the Army's fraternization rules.
A $35 million dollar lawsuit against the Army has been filed in Guillen's death by her family. The lawsuit is seeking damages for wrongful death but that's not all. The family is suing on the basis of sexual harassment, abuse, assault, rape, sodomy as well. A military investigation found that 20-year-old Guillen was also sexually harassed and that leaders failed to take appropriate action. The lawsuit describes two instances in which Guillén was harassed. Guillen told family that she did not report the harrassment for fear of retaliation.

OnlyFans model and Instagram influencer Courtney Clenney was arrested on charges that she stabbed her boyfriend to death at a Miami high-rise. Christian Obumseli, 27, was fatally stabbed inside the couple's apartment.
An attorney for Clenney says that the 25-year-old “was a victim of physical, emotional, and mental abuse at the hands of Obumseli” and killed him in self-defense. The two had been dating for about two years and lived at the apartment building for several months.
Police say they’ve responded to multiple calls to the apartment, and apartment staff had also noted multiple domestic incidents and tried to evict them.
Friends of the couple said it was unimaginable that Obumseli could have been violent toward Clenney, saying while they had seen Clenney hit Obumseli, they had never seen him hit her.

Ramsey said he wanted the independent agency to conduct the DNA analysis instead of the Boulder Police Department, whom Ramsey says botched the investigation.

As Lori and Chad Daybell move closer to trial, Tammy Daybell's death is back in center stage.
Tammy Daybell's death is initially ruled natural causes. The seemingly healthy 49-year-old is training to run a 4K race, but Chad Daybell reports that his wife is dead in the bed beside him one morning.
The family refuses an autopsy, but as bodies seem to pile up around the newlywed family, Daybell's body is exhumed. Although authorities have not publicly released her cause of death, Tammy Daybell's children say she died of asphyxiation.

Bowen Turner's latest arrest for probation violation means he will now have to register as a sex offender. The South Carolina man accused of three rapes was arrested for disorderly conduct and given bail, but Turner denied bail on another charge stemming from a probation violation.
Turner, 19, was arrested on Mother’s Day and after his arrest, he allegedly called a female jailer the "B-word" and tried to bite off the finger of another. This latest incident happens after a controversial sentence was handed down in April.
Orangeburg County Court Judge Markley Dennis sentenced Turner to five years of probation as part of a plea for assaulting a woman in 2019. The charge was reduced from an earlier charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, even though the victim was willing to testify and it was the third sexual assault accusation against Turner in less than two years.
Ankle monitoring logs show that Turner violated his previous bond dozens of times, visiting golf courses, restaurants, shopping centers and even going out of state.
At his court appearance attorney Jason Turnblad o asked Judge Roger Young to take into consideration Turner's "young age [and] his lack of a prior record before pleading to these charges." Turner also admitted to having an "alcohol problem" that he would like to address through rehabilitation. The judge ruled however that Turner knew the rules of his probation.

A Michigan mother with a history of driving violations is charged after her three children die when Letitica Marie Gonzales crashes her SUV into an icy pond. The Gonzales boys, all under age 5, drowned after being trapped upside down in their car seats, underwater. Gonzales was impaired at the time, under the influence of a synthetic opioid.
The 30-year-old was charged this week with three counts of driving while intoxicated resulting in death. Gonzales crossed into oncoming traffic, hit a curb, and rolled her Chevrolet Tahoe onto its roof in a Holland Township pond. Gonzales was able to get out of the SUV, but her three children drowned.
Gonzales has pleaded guilty at least four times over the past 12 years to driving without a license; she also has pleaded guilty to obtaining controlled substances by false representation, according to a local newspaper.

What's at issue is consumptive DNA testing, meaning, that when the testing is complete there is no more DNA for future tests. So, there is only one shot at it and that's the reason why the prosecution has waited this long to do it.

Delia Owens' "Where the Crawdad's Sing," a fictional story about a murder in North Carolina, has sold more than 12 million copies and has spent 166 weeks on The New York Times best-seller list.
However, Owens is linked to another murder. The author is wanted for questioning in Zambia about a deadly shooting in Africa in the 90s.
During that time, Owens and her then-husband Mark ran a Zambian conservation center protecting elephants from poachers. In 1996, they were the subject of an ABC documentary where one scene shows an alleged poacher being fatally shot.
Neither the victim nor the shooter is identified. The mystery was never solved.
While Zambia authorities don't believe Delia was directly involved in the murder or the disposal of the body, authorities still want to talk to her about it.

Murder charges were filed against South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh in the deaths of his wife and son. Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were found fatally shot at their family’s 1,770-acre lodge in Colleton County. Alex Murdaugh claims that he was visiting his mother in Varnville, 20 minutes away.
A bond hearing is slated for Wednesday, where Murdaugh will find out if he will be granted bond or not. Also still to be announced is whether or not the state will be seeking the death penalty in this case.
As it stands now, the newly released indictment does not say if prosecutors believe that Murdaugh pulled the triggers himself, but law enforcement sources say that high-velocity splatter on Alex Murdaugh's clothing places him at the murder scene.

Virginia Judge Penney Azcarate denies Amber Heard’s request have her defamation trial deemed a mistrial on the grounds that the court seated the wrong juror. Amber Heard’s legal team claims a person not called to jury duty was inadvertently seated on the jury for Johnny Depp's defamation lawsuit. At issue is juror number 15. Heard's legal team says a 52-year-old man responded to a jury summons and was seated on the jury, but the summons was for a 77-year-old man with the same last name living at the same address. Judge Azcarate wrote “there is no evidence of fraud or wrongdoing” during the six-week civil trial, according to Fox News. Azcarate said the summons listed the juror’s legal name but not a birthdate. The juror reportedly went on to list his birthdate on a juror questionnaire. Both Heard and Depp’s legal teams signed off on every juror who sat in on the trial.

South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh may soon face murder charges in the death of his wife and son.
According to FITS News, South Carolina's State Law Enforcement Division will present its case to a Grand Jury on Thursday. Murdaugh is already facing dozens of charges concerning financial fraud.

Atlanta lawyer Claud “Tex” McIver's murder conviction has been overturned by the Georgia Supreme Court. McIver was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for the shooting death of his wife.
The court ruled unanimously that the jury should have been allowed to consider a lesser charge — involuntary manslaughter. Diane McIver died after being shot in the back. A family friend was driving Diane and Tex McIver back to Atlanta from the McIvers’ 84-acre ranch in Putnam County. Diane McIver was in the passenger seat. Tex McIver was in the backseat. As they arrived in the city, McIver reportedly asked for his .38 caliber revolver from the center console — according to one statement because they had driven up on a Black Lives Matter protest, while in another statement he said it was for protection against homeless people.
McIver fell asleep in the back seat, with the gun in his lap in a plastic bag. According to testimony, as they pulled up to a traffic light on Piedmont Avenue, Diane McIver, 64, told her husband to wake up and not fall asleep. Tex McIver fired one shot, which went through the seat and struck his wife in the back. The Supreme Court ruling noted McIver’s contention that he was startled awake by his wife and inadvertently pulled the trigger because of it.
The high court upheld a second conviction for influencing a witness, for which McIver, a well-connected Republican attorney known for union-busting, was sentenced to five years in prison. He has now served four years and 10 months.

A New York daycare worker was arrested for allegedly producing child porn with at least one child in his care.
Investigators say Silfredo Castillo Martinez, 32, has been making child porn since 2011, and they identified one of the victims in an illicit video as a child who attended his daycare.
The NYPD said the child Martinez allegedly victimized was 12 at the time, though they did not disclose when the reported assault transpired. Martinez ran the afterschool program at Lina’s Daycare — which has been closed since his arrest.
An additional police investigation reportedly revealed that the 12-year-old victim was sexually abused at the center. Records show that Martinez’s daycare license was suspended following his arrest. Martinez is charged with producing and possessing child pornography. Police are in the process of identifying additional victims.

Missouri husband Beau Rothwell, 29, reports his pregnant wife missing. Her car is found abandoned just a mile from home. Rothwell tells police he last saw Jennifer Rothwell, 28, that morning as she left for work.
Days later, Jennifer Rothwell's body is found in a wooded area along Highway 61 near Troy.
An autopsy stated that she suffered blunt force trauma to the head. The day after Jennifer Rothwell went missing, Beau Rothwell is arrested. Police believe he killed his wife — who was six weeks pregnant — sometime on November 11.
Search warrants alleged that Jennifer Rothwell used the internet to search, “What to do if your husband is upset you are pregnant.” The same documents also stated that Beau Rothwell cleaned up some blood and left a small window to the garage open, despite freezing temperatures, to “dissipate the odor.”
Beau Rothwell reportedly told authorities where his pregnant wife’s remains were located. Turns out Beau Rothwell was having an affair and made a pro/con list on whether to stay in the marriage.

The body of Gloria Satterfield, longtime housekeeper for disgraced South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh, will be exhumed. Satterfield died after a trip and fall accident at the Murdaugh home. No autopsy was performed and her manner of death listed as natural. Now, after the string of deaths linked to the Murdaugh name, investigators want to know more. Exhumations are not ordered for just any old case, but when a court orders the embalmed remains of a human being be uninterred, everyone pays attention, including our forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan. In this episode of Body Bags, Joseph Scott Morgan and Jackie Howard discuss what exhumation is, and why exhumation must be handled with the utmost of care.

Community outrage after a Louisiana mom loses custody of her daughter to the man who raped her as a teen. Crysta Abelseth was 16 years old in 2005, when she says she was raped by John Barnes, then 30 years old.
Abelseth became pregnant. DNA tests show, and Barnes admits, he is the father of the now teen child. Barnes claims the sex was consensual. Abelseth told WBRZ that she met Barnes during a night out with friends at a Hammond restaurant and that he offered to drive her home.
Abethseth says Barnes took her to his home and raped her on his living room couch. Barnes found out about the child six years later and pursued custody.
Abelseth pressed charges against Barnes in 2015, but since then no investigation has taken place. And also, now the teen girl is sad her father has assaulted her. John Barnes says the allegations against him are lies. He denies raping the then 16-year-old. Barnes says he thought Abelseth was an adult.

Murder suspect Kaitlin Armstrong, has been on the run for a month. She was last seen at a Newark Airport. Now a private investigator is telling Fox News that Armstrong could possibly be traveling under her sister’s name.
Jason Jensen says that he believes Armstrong is using the alias “Christine Armstrong.” He says he has given US Marshal's information that three days after Armstrong was seen in the New York area, a new driver's license popped up in public records under Christine Armstrong's name, using the address of a Haven For Humanity Wellness center in Livingston Manor, New York.
Haven for Humanity has confirmed that Christine Armstrong is a volunteer for the company and is currently staying at its New York compound. An unnamed camper claimed to Fox News that he saw Kaitlin Armstrong at Camp Haven around a month ago.

Jared Bridegan, 33, drops his twins off at the home of his ex-wife, Shanna Gardner-Fernandez. Bridegan is with his 2-year-daughter as he drives home. On their way home, Bridegan stops to remove a tire from the middle of the road. There's no room to drive around it.
That's when the Microsoft executive is shot and killed by an unknown assailant. The little girl, Bexley, is reportedly in the car for several minutes as her father dies. Bridegan has been in lengthy custody and alimony disputes with his former wife and reportedly she has now hired a high-powered criminal defense attorney.
Jacksonville Beach Police Department has not named Gardner-Fernandez a suspect in connection with the case and Gardner-Fernandez maintains her innocence. In fact, no one has been named a person of interest, and Bridegan's murder remains unsolved.
According to Gardner-Fernandez's attorney, his services are needed “for the purpose of seeing if steps could be taken to protect her young twins from any publicity surrounding this tragic event.”

A little girl's body, burned and buried in the desert of Arizona, is found by a tourist looking for rocks. For over 50 years, the girl is known only as “Little Miss Nobody” as investigators are unable to confirm her race, age, or identity. An autopsy showed none of her bones are broken and there are no signs of trauma before death. Now a name has been given, Sharon Lee Gallegos, 4.
Gallegos was reported abducted from her grandmother’s home in Alamogordo, New Mexico, 10 days before her body was found. Originally, FBI agents concluded that Gallegos was not the child found in the desert, as her footprints did not match the unidentified child’s. Now a DNA analysis proved their initial assertion to be incorrect.

It's been a year since the bodies of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were found outside their home. No one has been charged in their murder yet, but there is legal movement in another death, linked to the Murdaugh household. Gloria Satterfield, who was Murdaugh's housekeeper for close to 20 years, died after falling downstairs.
Maggie and Paul Murdaugh called 911 at the time, reporting that Satterfield was bleeding from her head and left ear. Satterfield died days later at a hospital. Satterfield's cause of death is listed as "natural" on her death certificate. No SLED investigators have asked that Satterfield's body be exhumed and autopsied.
Satterfield's family sued the Murdaughs at Alex Murdaugh's direction and were awarded millions. Murdaugh instead kept the money for his own use.

Toxicology tests came back negative and the boy had no severe injuries. Police do not believe the boy was alive when he was placed inside the suitcase. A mushroom hunter found the hardshell suitcase, which features the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign. The little boy is described as just under 4 feet tall and about 40 pounds, with a slim build and a short haircut. Indiana State Police have set up a national tip line at (888) 437-6432.

Linda Carman and her son, Nathan, set out on a night fishing trip. They don't return. A week later, Nathan Carman is found in an inflatable life raft, but his mother is nowhere to be found.
Now, police say Carman killed his mother and sank the boat intentionally for a $7,000,000 inheritance.
Carman is accused of enlarging holes in the boat, "Chicken Pox," to ensure it sank. The boat's insurer National Liability and Fire Insurance Co., asked a court to deny any insurance claim on the boat following an investigation that revealed Nathan compromised it before the accident.
The insurer's report states that in "removing his boat’s trim tabs hours before departing on its final voyage, Carman not only failed to properly seal four thruhull holes he thereby opened at the transom’s waterline, but two recent depositions establish Carman enlarged those four holes.”
This is not the first time Carmen has been eyed for a murder of a family member: He was reportedly named a person of interest in the 2014 shooting death of his wealthy grandfather, John Chakalos. Warrants say that Carman was the last person to see his grandfather alive before the 87-year-old man was found shot to death in his Windsor, Connecticut, home.
Nathan reportedly purchased a gun that was the same caliber as the weapon that killed his grandfather, a multimillionaire developer, and declined to let police know this during questioning. He also declined to take a polygraph test.

Bowen Turner is back behind bars. The South Carolina man accused of three rapes was arrested for disorderly conduct and given bail, but Turner denied bail on another charge stemming from a probation violation.
Turner, 19, was arrested on Mother’s Day and after his arrest, he allegedly called a female jailer the "B-word" and tried to bite off the finger of another. This latest incident happens after a controversial sentence was handed down in April.
Orangeburg County Court Judge Markley Dennis sentenced Turner to five years of probation as part of a plea for assaulting a woman in 2019. The charge was reduced from an earlier charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, even though the victim was willing to testify and it was the third sexual assault accusation against Turner in less than two years.
Ankle monitoring logs show that Turner violated his previous bond dozens of times, visiting golf courses, restaurants, shopping centers and even going out of state.

Dale Bryant tells AL.com that “Casey’s an all right guy” when he’s taking his meds, but when White is off his medication, Bryant says "that’s when things become a problem.’ White, 38, slipped out of an Alabama county jail with the help of rogue jailer Vicky White, 57 — no relation — in an obviously carefully planned escape. No one even knew they were gone for six hours, and by that time they’d already abandoned their getaway car in Tennessee. Rewards for information leading to Casey White and Vicky White have reached a total of $25,000 — $15,000 for the inmate and $10,000 for the jailer.

JonBenet Ramsey, 6, was reported missing by her mother the day after Christmas 1996. Patsy Ramsey reported finding a ransom note that demanded more than $118,000. John Ramsey discovered the girl’s body the same day in the basement of the family’s home in Boulder, Colorado.
Investigators determined that JonBenet was strangled and had an 8.5-inch fracture to her skull. No one has been charged in connection with the killing. John Ramsey spoke at the CrimeCon 2022 convention in Las Vegas, where he called for an independent agency to test DNA from his daughter JonBenét Ramsey’s case.
Ramsey said he wanted the independent agency to conduct the DNA analysis instead of the Boulder Police Department, whom Ramsey says botched the investigation.

Sherri Papini admits her 2016 kidnapping was a hoax. The 39-year-old mom was reported missing on November 2, and told investigators when she was found 22 days later that a pair of Hispanic women kidnapped her at gunpoint. Papini said her kidnappers abused her and then shoved her out of a car. Papini was emaciated, her hair was cut shorter, and she had cuts and bruises all over her body, but prosecutors said she caused the injuries herself. The case was broken in 2020 when DNA led investigators to Papini’s ex, who told them she had been with him the entire time. Federal prosecutors charged Papini with 34 counts of mail fraud and one count of making false statements. Papini accepted a plea deal, but didn't explain why she created an elaborate kidnapping hoax, although she apologized for her actions. Since her arrest, Papini's husband has started divorce proceedings.

High-velocity spatter found on a shirt worn by disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh may show he was present at the time his wife and son were murdered. FITSNews is reporting their inside sources are saying that multiple forensics experts, including one at an out-of-state lab, confirm the preliminary analysis of a significant amount of high-velocity spatter from at least one of their bodies. Alex Murdaugh has since been charged with multiple financial crimes and faces numerous civil lawsuits, since Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were found dead. He's even been named a person of interest, but not a suspect, so far. Sources close to the investigation told FITSNews that multiple shots from a high-powered rifle killed Maggie Murdaugh, including one that went through her back and another into the back of her head as she was face down on the ground. Paul Murdaugh’s death certificate said the he had two shotgun wounds: one to the head and the other to the chest. At least one of the guns used in the murders belonged to the Murdaugh family. Alex Murdaugh’s attorney has repeatedly said that his client’s whereabouts are “accounted for completely.”

Murder charges against Suzanne Morphew's husband, Barry, have been dismissed. The Colorado mom has been missing since Mother's Day of 2020. Prosecutors filed a motion to dismissed without prejudice — meaning charges can be refiled at a later date. Police claim they are close to finding Suzanne Morphew's body, but the weather and snowpack are delaying searches. Prosecutors wrote in their latest motion that they have zeroed in on a “remote and mountainous” area currently covered by five feet of snow, near the Morphews’ home. During an April 8 hearing, the judge barred 12 of the prosecution’s 14 witnesses from testifying as expert witnesses. Prosecutors wrote in Tuesday’s motion that some of their strongest evidence — phone and GPS data in addition to truck data — was also excluded from Barry Morphew’s planned trial.

Depp told the court that there was “no moment where I would’ve been considered out of control” during his marriage. Depp sued Heard over an op-ed published in the Washington Post. The actress characterized herself as a domestic abuse survivor, but didn't mention Depp by name. Depp alleged defamation because Heard’s claims covered the time they were married.

A 51-year-old mom of two, stabbed nearly 60 times, found stuffed inside a duffel bag in her Forest Hills neighborhood. A half-mile long blood trail led police to the home Gaal shared with her husband and teen sons. The husband and older son were reportedly out of town on a college campus visit. Police say Orsolya Gaal spent her Friday afternoon with friends at a backyard party, before telling her teen son that she was meeting friends. Police say the woman is seen on surveillance video sitting in a Queens' bar, alone, for nearly an hour. Then at 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, a security video captured a man rolling the bloody duffel bag down Juno Street. A man walking his dogs found the body. Gaal’s husband says he received a text message threatening him and his children prior to the murder. Whoever sent the text claimed they had been jailed or imprisoned at some point in the past because of Gaal. The suspect allegedly threatened to kill the entire family if the police were contacted. No suspect names have been released and no arrests have been made in the case.

Three South Carolina teen girls accuse the same man of raping them. Bowen Turner is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct, but the outcome in this case has caused much outcry. While awaiting trial, Turner is held on house arrest with ankle monitoring. Court documents state that if Turner violates his bond, he is to be immediately taken into custody, but reports show that Turner violated that order more that 50 times, even crossing state lines without being taken into custody. One case was dropped when the victim died. In facing the other charges, Turner accepted a plea deal. He pleads guilty as a youthful offender to first-degree assault and battery. At sentencing, Turner is given five years of probation, and does not have to register as a sex offender. As long as Turner follows the terms of his probation, he conviction could be expunged from his record.
Crime Stories has reached out the South Carolina Solicitor's office and the prosecuting attorney for comment.

18-year-old Naomi Irion was last seen on security footage, sitting in her vehicle while waiting for the shuttle she takes to work at Panasonic in the Reno-Sparks area. The footage also shows a man walking from the direction of a homeless camp and lurking among the parked vehicles. Naomi’s brother, Casey Valley, says that security footage seemed to show the suspect saying or doing something that made Naomi move from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat. Irion was in the passenger’s seat as the man drove away. Investigators found Naomi’s blue 1992 Mercury Sable on March 15 at the Fernley industrial park. They said evidence inside the car suggests that a crime was committed. Naomi is described as a white female who stands 5-feet-11-inches tall with green eyes (one eye is green and brown). She has dyed black hair, according to her family, who created a GoFundMe page to help with search costs. Anyone with information should call the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office at 775-463-6620 and reference case 22LY01068. You can also contact Secret Witness at 775-322-4900.

Twenty years ago, the discovery of a human skull would reveal one of Georgia’s most gruesome and bizarre crimes. More than 300 decomposing bodies were found discarded on the grounds of the Tri-State Crematory. Located in the mountains of northwest Georgia, the facility serviced funeral homes in Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama. An investigation revealed the abused could have been going on as long as the mid-1990's. The owenr, Ray Brent Marsh, ultimately served 13 years in prison for multiple charges including abusing a corpse, burial service-related fraud and theft by deception. Even now, two decades later, not all of the remains have been identified. Today on Body Bags, forensics expert and former death scene investigator Joseph Scott Morgan reveals what it's like to work such a horrific case.

25-year-old Nicole Sinkule slept while her boyfriend plotted to kill her. Eric Marum hit her with a claw hammer more than a dozen times. Marum pled guilty and received a sentence of 16 years to life in prison. In November, two members of the California Board of Parole granted him a recommendation for parole. One member voted against parole. Now Nicole's parents are asking Governor Gavin Newsom to deny the recommendation. Newsom has three options. If he takes no action, Marum will be released. If Newson reverses the decision, Marcum will receive another hearing in 18 months. The last option is to refer the decision back to the board for the members to modify their decision. The Sinkules have also started a petition to reverse the parole recommendation.

Empire co-star Jussie Smollett is out of jail while attorneys appeal his conviction for lying to police about a hate crime attack against him. Smollett began serving his 150 day sentence last week, even as he steadfastly denies paying two men he knew to stage the attack, as a special prosecutor contends. Days after the actor began his sentence, Smollett was put into protective custody in the Cook County Jail, and then his brother, Jocqui Smollett, and his attorneys claimed that he had been put into the “psyche ward” because of fears of self-harm. Cook County police said the Smollett was being housed in an area for inmates who need extra treatment for mental health issues but said it was also used for “extra monitoring.” Smollett’s attorneys asked the court to release the actor pending appeal, arguing that he would complete the sentence by the time the process was completed. They also cited homophobic threats received by the actor in their request for emergency release. The special prosecutor responded to the motion by saying it was “factually incorrect.” Two of the three members of the appellate court agreed with Smollett’s attorneys and said he could be released after posting $150,000 personal recognizance bond, which means he won’t put up any money but must guarantee he appears in court as required. Appellate Justices Thomas Hoffman and Joy Cunningham signed the order and Maureen Connors dissented.

Joel Guy Sr., 61, and Lisa Guy, 55, were stabbed to death inside their Knoxville home following Thanksgiving. Prosecutors said Joel Guy, Jr., 28, killed his parents after they informed him they planned to retire and would be cutting him off financially.
Guy Jr. stabbed his father at least 42 times and his mother at least 30 times. He then dismembered their bodies and put their arms, torsos, and legs in plastic bins containing corrosive chemicals in an attempt to dissolve them.
Court testimony revealed that Guy, Sr.’s head was placed facedown in the corrosive chemicals. Guy, Jr. also decapitated his mother and put her severed head in a covered stockpot — which he then placed on a burning stove. The couple’s bodies were discovered the following Monday after Lisa Guy failed to come to work. Guy, Jr. was sentenced to two life sentences, consecutively with an additional four years for abuse of a corpse.

An arrest was made in the death of a former politician’s daughter during a home invasion last week. Kentucky State Police spotted suspect Shannon Gilday, 23, walking along Barnes Mill Road near I-75. Gilday is accused of breaking into Welsey Morgan's multi-million dollar home after climbing scaffolding set up for home repairs. Attorney Jordan Morgan, 32, was shot as she slept in bed. The victim’s father reportedly suffered non-lethal injuries after exchanging gunfire with Gilday.
Gilday fled the scene in a vehicle. Wesley Morgan has been quoted as saying he believes a “doomsday-style” bunker at their mansion may have made their home a target. Shannon Gilday's mother says her son "has not been of sound mind the last couple of weeks, distraught with the certainty a nuclear war is imminent."
Police have not confirmed that motive. Gilday is now charged with murder, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal mischief, first-degree assault, and attempted murder.

The release of autopsy and forensic reports for Brian Laundrie provides an interesting study in forensics. When Laundrie, 23, was found dead of an apparent suicide, police had been searching for him in connection to the death of his girlfriend Gabby Petito. The newly-released documents show that Laundrie’s “skeletal remains and personal effects were in plain sight and scattered upon the dirt ground.” Details also show that the area had been underwater, which could explain why investigators did not discover the remains sooner. The documents strongly indicate Laundrie died quite some time before his body was found, as there was no soft tissue left on the skeleton. There was also indication of animal activity characterized by gnawing and chewing. Investigators reportedly believe that wild dogs, coyotes, and/or vermin were among the animal predators that disturbed the remains. The medical examiner’s report shows that Brian Laundrie killed himself with a single-bullet, which entered his skull on the left side. Today on Body Bags, forensics expert and former death scene investigator Joseph Scott Morgan explains the details and the significance.

Comedian Bob Saget’s autopsy shows head trauma caused the actor’s death. Saget’s family revealed that officials had “concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep” while on tour. The autopsy shows Saget had fractured his skull which caused bleeding on the brain.
A security guard found the 65-year-old “tucked in bed” and unresponsive when his family, hadn’t heard from him and contacted the hotel. Saget’s key card showed that he returned to his room at about 2:20 a.m. Dr. Joshua Stephany, the chief medical examiner of Orange and Osceola counties, attributed Saget’s injuries to a fall.
The trauma caused veins in Saget’s brain to rupture, which then caused blood to pool, creating pressure on the hemispheres of the brain. Stephany found no other injuries and ruled the death accidental. The actor had no illegal drugs in his system, but there were signs of prescription drugs used to treat depression and panic attacks.
Stephany found no indication that either drug contributed to Saget’s death. The autopsy report further found that Saget had an enlarged heart and that he showed signs of the coronavirus on a PCR test.

A prosecutor is asking a judge to intervene after the parents of a suspected school shooter reportedly blew kisses at each other during a remote hearing. James and Jennifer Crumbley are each facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection to the November 2020 school shooting in which their son, Ethan, is accused of killed four classmates. The mother of the 15-year-old Michigan boy texted a friend about her son’s demeanor hours before the deadly shooting, court testimony revealed. Jennifer Crumbley’s friend, Kira Pennock, 25, testified during a preliminary hearing about the texts Jennifer Crumbley sent her regarding a meeting she had with the school counselor hours before the shooting, according to The Detroit News. In the alleged texts, Jennifer Crumbley said she “s**t day” after the conference and included a photo of a disturbing drawing her 15-year-old son drew on a math assignment. Hours after the shooting, Jennifer Crumbley texted Pennock, “My son ruined so many lives today.” Fox News reported that during that fateful meeting, Ethan Crumbley convinced school officials that his concerning drawings were from a video game. The teen’s parents also refused to take him home, according to prosecutors. Jennifer Crumbley allegedly also texted Pennock that her son was having a “hard time” and “can’t be left alone.” Ethan Crumbley is charged with terrorism, first-degree murder, assault with intent to murder, and gun violations. He remains jailed without bond.

A settlement has been reached between Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre has long accused the prince of sexually abusing her multiple times when she was 17. The terms of the settlement have not been released to the public, however, reports say the terms pay out $16 Million U.S. dollars, with $2 million of that designated for a charity of Giuffre's choice. Last month, the terms of a 2009 settlement between Giuffre and Epstein were released to the public as part of Giuffre’s lawsuit against Prince Andrew. The document revealed that Giuffre was paid $500,000 in the settlement. Prince Andrew’s legal team has argued that the 2009 settlement legally shielded him from civil lawsuits like the one Giuffre had filed against him. He had also tried to stop the stipulations of Giuffre’s 2009 settlement from being released to the public. As part of the 2009 settlement, Giuffre agreed to “release, acquit, satisfy, and forever discharge” Epstein and “any other person or entity who could have been included as a potential defendant.” Prince Andrew contended that the decade-old settlement legally shielded him from civil lawsuits like the one Giuffre has filed against him.

After receiving a tip that someone was hiding Paislee, New York State police found the child and her parents at a home in Saugerties. A detective helped search inside the home and when he shined a flashlight at an odd-looking place in the staircase, he noticed a blanket.Police removed a few steps in the area and located Paislee and her biological mother, 33-year-old Kimberly Cooper, in a “small, cold and wet” space. Cooper and father Kirk Shultis, Jr., were both arrested and charged with felony custodial interference and endangering the welfare of a child. Paislee is in good health and is now back with her older sister and legal guardian. KlaasKids founder, Marc Klaas, joins Crime Stories with Nancy Grace Executive Producer Jackie Howard to discuss the uplifting discovery.

An Illinois judge reverses an 18-year-old man’s sexual assault conviction — saying that the 148 days he spent in jail was “plenty of punishment.” Cameron Vaughan, 16, went to a graduation party on May 30, 2021. Vaughan, who waived her anonymity, says that she woke up at a friend’s home with a pillow over her face and 18-year-old Drew Clinton raping her. After the assault, the girl told her father, who called the police. Clinton has claimed the encounter was consensual. Clinton had a bench trial in October, which resulted in Adams County Judge Robert Adrian convicting him of sexual assault. The charge carries a minimum sentence of four years in prison. During Clinton’s sentencing hearing on January 3, Judge Adrian announced that the teen would not be sent to prison as he is changing his verdict to not guilty. The judge said that Clinton has already spent 148 days behind bars — which he asserted was “plenty of punishment,” according to WGEM. The judge not only noted that Clinton had no prior criminal history, but he criticized the parents at the graduation party for allowing minors to drink alcohol and swim in the pool in their underwear. Judge Adrian has faced mounting backlash for not only reversing Clinton’s conviction but for the victim-blaming comments he made during his sentencing hearing. He has been reassigned.

Wendy Wein wanted her ex-husband dead, and she thought the “Rent-A-Hitman” website would help her out. It helped her into a jail cell. The site is fake and there's all kinds of red flags on the web page pointing it out. The Michigan woman originally used a pseudonym as she placed her inquiry, but gave her real contact information when she made a “service request.” The website owner contacted Michigan State Police with the information. An undercover detective contacted Wein, posing as a representative of the website, then met with her at a cafe.That's where Wein told the detective she wanted her former husband killed. Wein handed over her ex's home and work addresses, and his work schedule. Wein said she’d pay $5,000 for the hit and at a second meeting made a $200 down payment. Wein pled guilt to solicitation of murder and using a computer to commit a crime.

Are police one step closer to cracking the unsolved murder of two teen girls from Delphi, Indiana? Liberty “Libby” German and her friend Abby Williams, were found dead near a railroad tressel, in a park where the teens liked to walk. That was almost 5 years ago. No arrests have been made, nor a person of interest named, but investigators have announced interest in a person using a social media account named “anthony_shots.” This person was attempting to talk with and meet underage girls around the same time of the killings. We now Know the creator of the profile is not the same person pictured on the account. Kegan Anthony Kline originated the account to solicit nude images from underage girls, obtain their addresses, and attempt to meet them. The profile image was stolen from a young male model. Police have not disclosed what connection, if any, this man has to the Delphi case, but they honed in on the site, just 10 days after the girls were killed. Police arrested Kline less than 40 miles from where the girls’ bodies were found.

Tammy and Dr. Jeffrey Harris had been married for 11 years when Tammy was diagnosed with lupus. Doctors begin a treatment regimen but her health did not improve. Harris was wheelchair-bound, her weight dropped to just 70 pounds, and her hair and fingernails fell out.
The couple traveled from Moscow, Idaho to New York in search of a holistic doctor, when Tammy suddenly collapsed in the lobby of the Lotte New York Palace hotel. She died six days later. An autopsy determined that Tammy Harris died from an overdose of the dietary supplement, Selenium.
Selenium, a trace mineral is considered safe in small doses, but the city medical examiner found eight times the average amount of Selenium in Harris's system. An investigation revealed that Dr. Harris did not believe his wife had Lupus.
He insisted that she suffered from mercury poisoning from working at a dental office several years prior. Dr. Harris kept up the pretense that his wife was taking what she had been prescribed by her doctors, but instead, she was taking Selenium, prescribed by her husband.

It's been fifteen years since Judy Conley said good night to her son, then woke up to the news that he'd been murdered in his bed. Curtis Francis was gunned down alongside his fiancé, Jennifer Burgette.
No suspect has been named in the case, but there's lots of speculation in this rural Ohio community.
The discovery of a well at the home where Francis was last seen, uncovered two weapons. Those weapons were lost when the fire department, working with police to recover the guns, blew out the bottom of the well. Investigative Reporter Jody Barr found a statement in another murder case, where the suspect offered information in exchange for a deal in his case. That information has not come into play in solving the Hopper Road murders.

Reports say first assistant director David Halls picked up one of the three prop guns that had been set up by armorer Hannah Gutierrez and yelled “cold gun.”
"Cold gun" is industry slang meaning the gun did not contain live rounds. Halls gave the gun to Baldwin who was using the gun to rehearse a scene. The search warrant said Baldwin was aiming the weapon at the camera when he fired, striking Hutchins and Souza.

Chicago Bears defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. has been accused of assaulting Joann "Jodi" Blakney in a North Carolina hotel in 2020. At the time, the Bears were in Charlotte for a game against the Carolina Panthers. Blakney is suing Edwards, the team, and an off-duty Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer. According to Blakney, she and Edwards have known each other for over 10 years and have dated off and on during that time.
The lawsuit alleges that when the pair met up in Charlotte, Edwards Jr. assaulted her in a hotel room after she refused to have intercourse with him. Blakney was pregnant at the time. Afterward, Blakney reported the assault to an off-duty CMPD officer in the lobby, but the officer did not call the police.
Members of the Bears staff were called to the lobby when they offered to have Edwards come to apologize to her. Blakney was taken to the hospital over concern for the baby and diagnosed with a concussion. While she was hospitalized, assault charges were filed against Blakney on Edwards' behalf. Blakney alleges she lost her job and has not been able to find employment due to the charge.
Mario Edwards, Jr. has not been charged in connection with this lawsuit. There has not been a trial and he has not been found guilty.

This week, we found out that the young woman was strangled to death by “human force." Dr. Brent Blue said that Petito was throttled. In today's Body Bags, death investigator Joseph Scott Morgan explain what throttling means, and what clues did the coroner find to lead to that ruling.

As the search goes on for Brian Laundrie, Gabby Petito's family is traveling to Wyoming to bring her ashes home. We learn that the a search of the back side of Carlton Reserve resumed today. In the meantime, a former FBI agent says that authorities have probably already named a suspect in Gabby Petito’s death, although the person has yet to be named publicly. This comes as the Teton County coroner reveals that Petito died of manual strangulation.
So far, 23-year-old Brian Laundrie has been named a person of interest in Petito’s death, but now that her death is known to be caused by strangulation, authorities may have named him as a suspect behind closed doors to a grand jury.

Gabby Petito was strangled to death by “human force,” according to coroner, Dr. Brent Blue. He said in a televised interview that Petito was throttled. Throttling means that someone was strangled by human force, with no mechanical force involved. In the hours since Gabby Petito's cause of death was released, Brian Laundrie’s father has been seen filling a gas can and then mowing the lawn at his home. Reporters and protestors shouted questions at Chris Laundrie, but he reportedly refused to answer any questions about his son Brian’s whereabouts and whether his son had a history of violence.

Michele MacNeill is home recovering from cosmetic surgery when she is found dead in the bathtub. Originally, her death was ruled an accident, but daughter Alexis, a medical student, wasn't convinced. Before her death, Michele MacNeill confided in her daughter that she thought her doctor husband was over-medicating her.
At her husband's request, the operating surgeon prescribed four drugs, he would not normally give his patients. Two of the drugs were Diazepam and Oxycodone. Alexis took over administering her mother's meds. When Michelle seems on the mend, Alexis returns to med school.
The next day, her mother is found by a younger sister; she was dead in the bathtub. The autopsy report concluded that Michele died of cardiovascular disease but Alexis had other suspicions, compounded by a comment made by her mother... " If anything happens to me, make sure it's not your father."

Brian Laundrie's parents tell police that they were mistaken on the day Brian left to hike Carlton Reserve. Laundrie's parents originally said the last time they had seen their son was on September 14, when he told them he was going to hike, The family's attorney, Steven Bertolino, now says the parents "misremembered" the date, that Laundrie actually left on September 13th, a day earlier.
This new information comes as a former medical examiner says the FBI's decision to keep possession of Gabby Petito's remains and failure to release the cause of death is unusual. Retired New York City Chief Medical Examiner and forensic pathologist Michael Baden tells Fox News that he sees no reason to keep the "whole body" from the family.

Crystal Smith was arrested and charged with tampering with evidence in connection to the 18-year-old's death. Fucci, 14, has been charged with Bailey’s Mother’s Day murder. Investigators believe he stabbed Bailey 114 times. The former classmates had grown up in the same neighborhood but it does not appear that Fucci targeted Bailey specifically, though friends later said Fucci claimed he would kill someone in the near future. Surveillance video appears to show the pair walking together early the morning of May 9. Fucci is later seen running, alone, from the same area.

Welcome Shattered Souls to the CrimeOnline Podcast Network! What comes to mind when you hear the word “forensics”? For many, the word evokes images of sterile labs and white coats. The reality, however, is quite different.
In Shattered Souls veteran forensic investigator Karen Smith opens her detailed and poignant journals from her 11 years as a forensic detective in Jacksonville, Florida. She speaks of trudging through muddy swamps, dangling over crime scenes from a firetruck ladder, and the tremendous emotional toll that the horror of these crimes wreaks on the investigators tasked with solving them.
Karen talks about the nightmares, the emotional and often physical pain, the scares, and the breath-holding, white-knuckle moments from the most haunting cases of her career. They’re victims you’ve probably never heard of, but they’re victims that she can never forget. Their stories - and the shattered souls of loved ones they left behind - are at the heart of every episode.

Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman announced that he received a tip that Laundrie and his parents went camping at Fort De Soto from September 1-3, then again on September 6-8, and documents have been found supporting that claim.

Brian Laundrie has been missing since at least September 14. The person of interest in Gabby Petito's death told his parents that he intended to hike in the Carlton Reserve, but he has not returned. Three days before he left, Laundrie’s girlfriend Gabby Petito was reported missing by her family. Those knowledgeable with the rough terrain point out it would be difficult to survive in that area, which is now mostly underwater, for an extended period of time. There is no potable water and little dry ground to camp. Meanwhile, Laundrie's parents were followed by federal agents to a public library, where they hung out for a period of time, before heading to a meeting with an attorney.

Barry Morphew will find out this week whether there is enough evidence to proceed to trial in the murder of his wife Suzanne. During a preliminary hearing, Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office Undersheriff Andy Rohrich testified that photos taken of Barry Morphew shortly after Suzanne’s disappearance showed numerous superficial injuries, including cuts and scrapes on his upper arms that may be fingernail scratches. Barry Morphew also had injuries on the outside of his hands, but it is unclear if investigators believe all of those injuries were recent. Information also came out that Suzanne Morphew was having an affair. Investigators found two of three books in the Morphew home that are believed to have been important to Suzanne: A Bible and Alcoholics Anonymous book. Detectives were also advised to look for a journal. While they didn’t find an intact journal, investigators reportedly found possible evidence of a journal burned in the fireplace.

A family vacation to Bali turns deadly. Sheila von Wiese-Mack is found bludgeoned to death inside a suitcase. The socialite's 25-year-old daughter Heather Mack and her 21-year-old then-boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer are charged and convicted by an Indonesian court. Police say Schaefer bludgeoned von Wiese-Mack with a bowl and then he and Mack stuffed her body into a suitcase and attempted to flee the scene. Heather Mack was pregnant at the time and gave birth to a daughter in prison. When she turned two, she was placed with a foster family in Bali. Now, Mack is being released from prison and will be deported. The mom must decide whether to bring the now 6-year-old girl with her back to Chicago or leave her with the only family she’s known.

More details emerging in the case again the husband of missing mom Suzanne Morphew. Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office Undersheriff Andy Rohrich testified that photos taken of Barry Morphew shortly after Suzanne’s disappearance showed numerous superficial injuries, including cuts and scrapes on his upper arms that may be fingernail scratches. Barry Morphew also had injuries on the outside of his hands, but it is unclear if investigators believe all of those injuries were recent.
Rohrich also presented findings in court that suggested Suzanne Morphew did not flee her Maysville, Colorado, home. Her wallet–reportedly full of cash–was found in her 2015 Range Rover. Also in the wallet or the car were Suzanne’s credit cards, driver’s license, and a medical card showing she had a cancer treatment scheduled for the Monday after she was reported missing, the Daily Mail reports.
Investigators found two of three books in the Morphew home that are believed to have been important to Suzanne: A Bible and Alcoholics Anonymous book. Detectives were also advised to look for a journal. While they didn’t find an intact journal, investigators reportedly found possible evidence of a journal burned in the fireplace.

On January 27, 2011, Julie Schenecker did the unthinkable: Armed with a .38 revolver she had purchased five days before, the former Russian linguist fatally shot both of her teenage children in the head. Beau Schenecker, 13, was found dead in a car parked in the garage of the Scheneker’s upscale Tampa home; 16-year-old Calyx had been placed in her bed after was killed. Julie Schenecker reportedly lifted her daughter’s mouth in the shape of a smile in a bizarre staging of the body.
Calyx had been doing her homework on the computer in another room when Julie Schenecker came up behind her and shot her in the head, then in the face. Julie had already killed Beau, reportedly shooting him in the head as they were in the car, headed to soccer practice. Julie’s husband Parker Schenecker, at the time an army colonel, was stationed in Qatar when his children were killed.
In an interview with police just after the double homicide, Julie Schenecker admitted to killing both of her children, because they were “mouthy.” She later changed her story, and said in a jailhouse interview with ABC News that she “saved them” — Beau from alleged sexual abuse, and Calyx from mental illness.

An Indiana man is charged with criminally negligent homicide in the death of 19-year-old Grace Anne Sparks while he was 300 miles away at his home. Hayden Berkebile, 29, told detectives they’d been in a relationship since “she was in her early teens, communicated via messaging apps, and had visited each other.
Police say "Berkebille stated that the victim had been suicidal for years and on this day during the course of their conversation, she grabbed a gun, the camera moved, he told her ‘no, no, no’ and then heard a gunshot.” Sparks’ death has initially ruled a suicide. Investigators found, however, that Berkebile was a “BDSM sexual master” who “exerted sexual control over the victim causing her to engage in dangerous and demeaning acts,” encouraging Sparks to kill herself for his “viewing pleasure.”
“On the day of the victim’s death, the victim asks Mr. Berkebile to use her,” an affidavit filed in court said. “Berkebile states ‘No, I want to kill you.’ ‘That’s all I [expletive] want.’” Berkebile faces charges of criminally negligent homicide and false reports.

Her body was found a week later.
Paul Murdaugh was awaiting trial on boating under the influence charges for the February 2019 crash. The state of South Carolina has now dropped charges against Paul Murdaugh, a move that was prompted by Murdaugh’s own death. Murdaugh, 22, and his 52-year-old mother were fatally shot June 7 on the family’s vast estate in Colleton County. That case remains under investigation and no one has been arrested in connection with it.

More than two dozen women have come forward to say that accused killer Paul Flores “either raped, drugged, stalked, or peeping tommed them.” None of those allegations will be presented when Flores goes on trial for the death of Kristin Smart, however, as a judge said the evidence for those cases is “too thin.”
A recent search found “a homemade CD he made of himself having sex with women going in and out of consciousness. There is also a Google search for “real drunken girl drugged and raped while passed out.” Paul Flores, 44, is the prime suspect in the disappearance and presumed death of 19-year-old Smart in 1996 when both were students at California State Polytechnic University.
Flores and his father, Ruben Flores, were arrested in April after investigators searched their homes. Investigators said they found traces of human blood on a patch of soil that had been disturbed underneath Ruben Flores’ house, surrounded by a lattice. A tenant at the property told authorities Ruben Flores always kept the area locked with a padlock. Smart’s parents have filed a lawsuit against Flores’s mother and her boyfriend, alleging that they helped move their daughter’s body.

Sentencing for the man convicted of killing University of Iowa student, Mollie Tibbetts, has been delayed amid new information. Judge Joel Yates ordered Cristhian Rivera’s sentencing be delayed after two witnesses told investigators that a different man confessed to the crime. According to Bahena Rivera’s attorneys, an inmate at the county jail said in May that he heard someone identified as “inmate 2” admit that Tibbetts was “bound and gagged in a trap house but that he was directed to kill Tibbetts once the search for her got too close.” Inmate 2 allegedly said he was ordered to stab Tibbetts, who was initially kidnapped for sex trafficking, but killed after the case became too high-profile. Inmate 2 allegedly said he was ordered to hide the body near a Hispanic male in Tibbetts’ area, to pin the blame on someone else. The witness said he came forward after he heard Rivera testify during the trial that two other men killed Tibbetts and put the blame on him. Forensic expert, Joe Scott Morgan, Professor at Jacksonville State University weighs in on whether the evidence can support that claim.

A federal appeals court has ordered former zoo owner and “Netflix” star Joe Exotic to be re-sentenced for his conviction in a murder-for-hire plot. The “Tiger King” star — real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage — was sentenced in January 2020 to 22 years in a federal lockup for trying to hire two men to kill his nemesis, Big Cat Rescue owner Carole Baskin. A three-judge panel in Denver’s Court of Appeals ruled that the original sentence was issued using the wrong sentencing guidelines. The judges found the trial court should have treated the murder-for-hire convictions as one since they both involved the goal of having Baskin killed. The proper sentencing range should have been between 17 ½ to just under 22 years, the panel wrote, not just under 22 years to 27 years in prison.

Sentencing for the man convicted of killing University of Iowa student, Mollie Tibbetts, has been delayed amid new information.
Judge Joel Yates ordered Cristhian Rivera’s sentencing be delayed after two witnesses told investigators that a different man confessed to the crime. The delay came about after the defense filed a motion, blaming the prosecution for withholding evidence.
According to Bahena Rivera’s attorneys, an inmate at the county jail said in May that he heard someone identified as “inmate 2” admit that Tibbetts was “bound and gagged in a trap house but that he was directed to kill Tibbetts once the search for her got too close,” CBS 8 reports. Inmate 2 allegedly said he was ordered to stab Tibbetts, who was initially kidnapped for sex trafficking, but killed after the case became too high-profile.
Inmate 2 allegedly said he was ordered to hide the body near a Hispanic male in Tibbetts’ area, to pin the blame on someone else. The witness said he came forward after he heard Rivera testify during the trial that two other men killed Tibbetts and put the blame on him.
State prosecutors said the inmate is not credible and evidence presented at trial proved that the real killer is Rivera. Still, the defense requested that the inmate be given the opportunity to testify, although the defense had already rested its case.

Mark Redwine, 59, is on trial for the 2012 murder of his son Dylan Redwine, 13. Redwine was arrested in Washington in 2017 and charged with second-degree murder and child abuse, years after Dylan’s death. He has maintained his innocence but prosecutors say Redwine killed his son in a fit of rage. In 2012, volunteer search teams and authorities began scouring the area around Redwine’s Durango, Colorado, home for months, in hopes of finding Dylan. The search proved to be difficult since Durango is at an elevation of 6,512 feet with steep canyons and mountains. In June 2013, searchers found a few of Dylan’s bones, a part of his shirt, a sock, and his shoestring, in Vallecito, which is around five miles away from Durango. Searchers found his remains in an area difficult to get to, especially for a young boy or for someone who doesn’t know the area well. Defense attorneys argue that Dylan ran away from Redwine’s home and was likely killed by a mountain lion or bear. Forensic expert Joe Scott Morgan, professor at Jacksonville State University looks at the possibilities.

A Waukesha County deputy who responded to the home found the deceased woman lying in a recliner with a large quantity of crushed-up medication on her chest and on a plate located next to her.
An autopsy report revealed that the woman had a fatal concentration of tetrahydrozoline in her system when she died. The medical examiner also determined that the amount of tetrahydrozoline in her blood could not have come from using it in the eyes.

A North Carolina mother accused of killing her then 4-year-old daughter, forced the toddler’s teen sister to help her bury the girl after she died, according to police reports. Charlotte-Mecklenburg County police found the body of Majelic Young in May, but the little girl died months earlier. Majelic’s mother, 31-year-0ld Malikah Dianne Bennett, has been charged with first-degree murder, child abuse, inflicting physical injury, and concealing a death.
According to a warrant filed in the case, Majelic’s 13-year-old sister told investigators that the toddler was forced to stand in the laundry room as punishment in August 2020. The girl was not allowed to sit or leave the room for three days — until she was so weak she fell out the back door and her head slammed onto the ground. The sister said Majelic’s breathing was erratic after that, and she died on that day.

Aaliyah Ramirez, a dance student in Syracuse, was last seen leaving her home just after 8 a.m. on April 27, on her way to school. She never made it to the bus stop. A neighbor’s doorbell camera captured the last known images of the teenager. Police have mentioned three areas where they believe Aaliyah could be — Marion, Indiana, about 70 miles south of Syracuse; Georgia; and Palm Beach County, Florida — but they’ve released very little other information. About a week after her disappearance, Palm Beach County deputies visited a relative’s home there they did not find the teen.

A Texas woman behind bars in connection with the death of 5-year-old Samuel Olson reportedly had plans to flee the state with his body. According to a motion for bail obtained by the Daily Beast, 26-year-old Theresa Balboa is accused of making plans with friends to travel to Louisiana with the child’s remains. She was captured in Jasper, Texas, at a Best Western motel before she could carry out her plans after a friend called in a tip to Crime Stoppers. Balboa is the girlfriend of Samuel’s father, Dalton Olson. Balboa was transferred back to Houston on Friday, on charges of tampering with evidence. She’ll likely face additional charges once the autopsy results are available. As CrimeOnline previously reported, Samuel was reportedly last seen May 3 in Houston, in the 8800 block of McAvoy Drive. Balboa said someone dressed up as a cop showed up with the boy’s mother and took him.

The parents of a 10-year-old Arizona girl have been charged with murder after the girl’s remains were found in an attic after a house fire— three years after the girl disappeared. An investigation began when an 11-year-old girl called police and said she’d been left in her Phoenix home alone for two days and was hungry. Authorities said the girl reported that she’d been neglected and abused by her adoptive parents Maribel Loera, 51, and Rafael Loera, 57. She said that Maribel Loera was in Minnesota with two siblings, a 4-year-old boy, and a 9-year-old girl.
The girl told investigators that Maribel struck her with knotted extension cords, and officials said she had injuries that were consistent with being struck by a “rope-like object.” She also told officials she had an older sister who vanished in 2017. She said that Maribel told her the girl was adopted and sent to Columbia, but Rafael said she was sent to Mexico.
Phoenix police officers who responded to the call said the home was in “disarray” and ahs feces on the floor. While fighting the fire, the child's remains fell out of the attic.

A 6-year-old boy is dead after he was shot in an apparent road-rage attack in California. Kindergartener, Aiden Leos, was sitting in a booster seat in the back of the family’s car when another driver cut off Leos’ mother while they were in the carpool lane. She threw the other driver the finger in the rear-view mirror, according to police.
As the mother merged into another lane, a passenger believed to have been in that other vehicle fired a gun, striking Leos. The mother pulled over to the side of the road on northbound State Route 55 in Orange, southeast of Los Angeles. She cradled the child as he died in her arms. Investigators are searching for the other vehicle believed to be involved in the incident. It appeared to be a white Volkswagen wagon sedan, and its two occupants, a man, and a woman.

Attorney Robert Abrams refused to share his information after the Westchester County District Attorney in New York announced she was reopening the cold case into Kathie Durst’s death.

As CrimeOnline reported, the child’s mother, Carla Garriques, 28, said that she kept him on a Biblical vegan diet and wasn’t “going to carry a fat a**child.” Garriques reportedly admitted that her baby was small for his age, but she claimed she, too, has always been small, adding that a vegan diet prevented her son from consuming “formula where it has chemicals in it.”
Garriques told the New York Post that she did initially feed her son baby formula, but started the vegan diet after her son developed thrush. Garriques’ mother, who also spoke to the Post, interjected and said the baby was fed “fruits and vegetables…crushed with boiled potatoes.”

Was Jeffrey Epstein given a reprieve from prosecution to continue molesting young girls? The allegation emerged in documents that were unsealed as part of the sex-trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate. Maxwell allegedly took sexually explicit photographs of teenage girls and gave them to Jeffrey Epstein for his birthday. The records show that in February 2016, attorneys for one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Giuffre, informed federal prosecutors that Maxwell had taken the images of the girl when she was just 16 years old. Epstein by this time had already pleaded guilty to prostitution under state law in Florida, but he had avoided federal charges under a non-prosecution agreement.

Federal prosecutors add sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy to the indictment against Ghislaine Maxwell. A new accuser says she was 14 when she was recruited to give Epstein “sexualized massages.” Maxwell now faces eight counts on accusations from four minor victims. She had previously been indicted on four counts related to enticing minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts and two counts of perjury for allegedly lying to prosecutors about her activities. The indictment says that Maxwell groomed the fourth victim “to engage in sexual acts with Epstein through multiple means,” despite the victim telling her she was under the age of 18. The victim was paid “hundreds of dollars” by Epstein employees, including Maxwell, the document says, and she was encouraged to recruit other minor girls.

Global leadership has always taken the stewardship of the tithes and offerings entrusted to us seriously and we have numerous structures in place to ensure financial accountability and integrity. Please find some of our policies below.

We have always placed a high value on good governance and stewardship, and if we discover a breach related to this we will take strong and swift action. We have a biblical responsibility to be excellent stewards of the ministry funds that have been committed to our care at each of our church locations."

Whoever left a vintage Barbie doll on the grave of a little girl raped and murdered in 1995 may have provided a key piece of evidence to solve the cold case: DNA. Utah investigators are asking for public help in identifying the person who placed the doll on the grave of Rosie Tapia, who was just six when she died. “Two possible persons of interest in the case have been identified who had some fixation with Barbies,” the Utah Cold Case Coalition said in a news release. “But before a costly analysis is performed on the DNA, the coalition is asking whether someone knows who placed the doll on Rosie’s grave.” She was abducted from the bedroom of her Salt Lake City home. Her remains were discovered “several hours later in a canal off the Jordan River.” Nancy Grace looks at the investigation with Cold Case Research Institute Director Sheryl McCollum, Atlanta criminal lawyer Darryl Cohen, psycho analyst Dr Bethany Marshall, and reporter John Lemley.
