Mariah Thomas and her 1-month-old baby, Za'Riah, live with Mariah's parents.
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.

On Thursday, February 1, Hurt is with a friend in Kansas City when he makes an early morning phone call to his grandmother. Tecona Donald-Sullivan says she says he isn't sounding like his normal self, he sounds as if he is scared, terrified, as if he is in some mental distress. She calls Kansas City police, who can track Hurt down and take him to Saint Luke's Hospital, but he is released after a few hours of observation.
According to his grandmother, Hurt is taken by Z Trip Taxi to the Greyhound bus station. The station, however, is closed when Hurt arrives just before noon.

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.
