In a chilling unsolved mystery that has haunted North Miami Beach for 37 years, the murder of Shirley Brant, a successful commercial real estate developer, remains a painful chapter in the community's history. However, there's newfound hope as police reopen the case, counting on advancements in DNA technology to potentially bring justice to a grieving family and a perplexed community. Detective Pam Denham of the North Miami Beach police, who reopened the case alongside her partner Yvette Darden, shared the significance of seeking closure: "It's so important to give these families closure, and it does happen. Cold cases are solved, and that's what we're hoping to do." The tragic incident occurred on June 13, 1986, at around 4 p.m. when two intruders entered the second-floor office where Shirley Brant worked. At that moment, she was in the front reception area, engaged in a phone call with a client. According to Denham, a temporary employee present in the office witnessed the horrifying events. "There was a witness that was a temporary employee that she was inputting data into a computer system," Denham explained. "And the next thing she knew, Shirley screamed. And then when she turned around, she saw that one of the males was attempting to take the phone away from Shirley. Then, the witness heard her say, 'Don't shoot!' And then she was shot." Denham believes the incident escalated rapidly, suggesting that during a struggle, the assailant may have unintentionally discharged the firearm. The witness, now deceased, described the suspects as well-dressed Black males in their early 20s, possibly dressed professionally to avoid drawing attention. The perpetrators fled the scene after stealing cash and credit cards. Investigators are exploring the possibility that the same individuals might have been involved in a purse theft from another office a week prior, leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of justice. Despite extensive media coverage and the circulation of a composite sketch of one suspect, the case remained cold. Previous detectives had followed up on leads, but none proved substantial enough to solve the case. Shirley Brant's untimely death left a lasting scar on her family, especially her husband, local dentist Dr. Lawrence Brant, who "never got over it," as stated by her son, Dr. Steven Brant. Dr. Brant fondly remembered his mother as a "very, very talented woman" who transitioned from singing on cruise ships in the 1960s to becoming a real estate agent. She eventually excelled in the commercial real estate sector, despite facing initial skepticism due to her gender. Shirley Brant and her husband were also actively involved in Jewish causes, even experiencing tense moments during a trip to Russia while advocating for Soviet Jews during the Refusenik movement. Dr. Steven Brant last saw his mother two weeks before her tragic death, and he reflects on her absence in his life and the lives of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Despite the decades that have passed, the family remains hopeful that the case will finally be resolved. Dr. Brant expressed the importance of finding closure and seeing justice served, emphasizing the indelible impact of such a loss. Detective Denham echoes this sentiment, hoping that renewed interest in the case will encourage individuals with information to come forward. "People move away, and they're not as fearful as they would've been when it actually happened," she noted. "We're just hoping that somebody heard something, or knows something, and that they're willing to come forward." Anyone possessing information related to Shirley Brant's murder is urged to contact the North Miami Beach Police Department at 305-949-5500 ext. 2521 or reach out to Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. As the case is reopened with modern investigative techniques, there is optimism that justice may yet be served for Shirley Brant and her grieving family.

Becky Hill, who ran as the Republican candidate for Colleton County's clerk of court with promises of "leadership with integrity," is now confronting a turbulent crossroads in her political career as her first term nears its end. Hill's bid for reelection remains uncertain as she navigates two criminal investigations and severe criticism from former South Carolina Chief Justice Jean Toal. Toal's criticism arose from allegations that Hill made inappropriate comments in front of jurors during the highly-publicized murder trial of former Hampton lawyer Alex Murdaugh in March. While Toal ultimately ruled that these comments did not warrant a retrial, she questioned the credibility of Hill's testimony, citing the clerk's susceptibility to the "siren call of celebrity." The State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) confirmed its ongoing investigations into Hill's interactions with the jury and potential misuse of her office, even after Toal's decision. SLED spokeswoman Renee Wunderlich emphasized that Toal's ruling did not affect the status of their active investigations. Additionally, Hill's cellphone was seized in connection with a SLED investigation into her son, Jeffrey Hill, who served as Colleton County's IT director. Jeffrey Hill faced charges of wiretapping, and the investigation into his actions could have implications for Becky Hill's political future. While the South Carolina Supreme Court holds the power to remove or reassign judges, it lacks explicit authority over elected clerks, and historically, it has not sought to remove any clerk from office this century, according to a Post and Courier review of court orders. Becky Hill's ultimate fate in office hinges on Colleton County's voters, who may have the opportunity to weigh in during the state's June 11 primaries if she chooses to run for reelection. As of now, no candidates have publicly declared their intent to challenge Hill, and the Colleton County GOP has not clarified whether they would support her candidacy. The Colleton County Democratic Party, on the other hand, is actively seeking potential challengers. Clarence Wiggins, the party's chair, stated that they are actively recruiting candidates and discussing the clerk election at every party meeting, indicating a potential shift in the political landscape. Candidates must declare their intentions soon, with the filing period for office opening in mid-March and closing on April 1. Becky Hill has remained tight-lipped about her future plans and has not responded to inquiries from The Post and Courier. Her attorney, Justin Bamberg, has declined to comment on her situation. Hill's credibility has faced scrutiny before Toal's critique. In December, she admitted to plagiarizing the introduction to her book, raising questions about her trustworthiness. On the witness stand, these concerns intensified as she denied making any comments about the case to jurors, directly contradicting the testimony of three deliberating jurors and one alternate who asserted that Hill discussed Alex Murdaugh's plans to testify in his own defense. As Becky Hill contemplates her political future, the uncertainty surrounding her candidacy and the ongoing investigations cast a shadow over her promise of "leadership with integrity" in Colleton County's clerk of court office. The coming months will determine whether she can weather this storm and secure another term in office or if challengers will emerge to compete for the position in the primaries.

Attorney John Ray has called for a closer examination of the movements of Asa Ellerup, the wife of accused serial killer Rex Heuermann, in light of new evidence that appears to contradict her alibi. This development comes as Heuermann faces charges in connection with the murders of several women, including Maureen Brainard-Barnes.    Brainard-Barnes, a sex worker, went missing in July 2007, and her body was found in December 2010 on a Long Island beach, alongside the remains of three other women - Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello - all of whom Heuermann is accused of murdering.    Previously, District Attorney Ray Tierney's office had asserted that travel and cell phone records indicated that Ellerup and her children were out of state when these women disappeared, establishing their alibi.    However, during a symposium at St. John University, attorney John Ray presented new evidence challenging this claim. He questioned the use of the phrase "on or about" in court documents, suggesting that the actual timeline of Ellerup's whereabouts may differ from what was previously assumed.    Ray claimed to have received information indicating that Ellerup and her children may have checked into their Atlantic City hotel later than originally reported, potentially altering the timeline of their movements.    The bank statement, cited in the court documents, highlighted a transaction for the Flagship Hotel on July 14, 2007, with an arrival date listed as July 7, 2007 - just two days before Brainard-Barnes disappeared. However, the manager of the hotel allegedly stated that Ellerup checked in on July 17.    John Ray emphasized the significance of these discrepancies, stating, "If those records are correct, then the District Attorney is not right, and Asa Ellerup was not away on July 7, July 8, July 9, July 10," raising questions about her alibi.    Notably, hairs belonging to Ellerup and her children were found near the victims' remains, prompting Ray to call for a renewed focus on the family's potential involvement.    In response to these claims, Victoria Heuermann's attorney, Vess Mitev, criticized Ray's remarks as "unhinged" and "conclusively disproved by factual evidence." He suggested that Ray's statements were an attempt to gain attention.    District Attorney Ray Tierney's office declined to comment on the new evidence, and Asa Ellerup's attorney, Bob Macedonio, has not yet responded to these allegations.    Rex Heuermann, whose DNA was linked to the murders of the Gilgo Four, is under investigation in connection with various cold cases across the country. John Ray has consistently called for Asa Ellerup to be investigated as a potential accomplice in his alleged crimes.    Despite these developments, Heuermann's wife maintains her innocence and has denied any involvement in the murders. She has expressed shock and disorientation following her husband's arrest. However, tipsters have alleged that she was aware of Heuermann's activities and even participated in non-violent sexual encounters with him.    As the investigation into Rex Heuermann expands beyond Suffolk County, questions surrounding the alibis of those close to him continue to arise. The complex case leaves many unresolved questions and underscores the need for further examination. John Ray continues to call for the involvement of federal agencies to ensure a comprehensive investigation. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A horrifying crime has shocked the quiet community of Middletown Township, Bucks County, as 32-year-old Justin Mohn has been charged with first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse in connection with the gruesome murder of his father, Michael F. Mohn. The incident, which involved a shocking YouTube video, unfolded on Tuesday night.    Police were alerted to the scene around 7 p.m. when the victim's wife returned home and discovered her husband's decapitated body covered in blood in their home on Upper Orchard Drive. The situation took a sinister turn when officers found the victim's head in a plastic bag inside a kitchen pot placed in a first-floor bedroom. A police affidavit revealed the presence of bloody rubber gloves, a machete, and a large kitchen knife in the bathtub on the second floor.    Middletown Township Police Captain Pete Feeney commented on the unusual nature of the crime, stating, "As far as the crime itself, it's not something we typically see here."    In addition to the horrific scene at the crime scene, Justin Mohn posted a disturbing 14-minute YouTube video titled "Mohn's Militia - Call to Arms for American Patriots." In the video, he held up his father's severed head, identified him by name, and expressed extremist views, including threats against federal agencies. He referred to himself as a militia leader and accused his father, a federal employee for 20 years, of being a traitor to the country. Mohn also discussed President Joe Biden in the video.    The video gained notoriety, with over 5,000 views before it was removed from the platform. Captain Feeney stated, "There's plenty of evidence to process, I'm sure they'll be reviewing that video."   Following a manhunt, police were able to track Justin Mohn by pinging his cell phone to Fort Indiantown Gap in Lebanon County, approximately 100 miles from the crime scene. Local police put the area on lockdown, and they later located the Toyota Corolla he had been driving abandoned outside the Indiantown Gap National Guard training facility. Mohn was apprehended on the base property, reportedly in possession of a firearm, but he was arrested without incident around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday.   Middletown Township Police Chief Joseph Bartorilla reassured the community, saying, "I think the neighborhood can rest easy because I think they were a little uneasy for a while before they knew where the person of interest was."   Justin Mohn, who also faces a weapons possession charge, was arraigned early Wednesday and is being held without bail. His hearing is scheduled for February 8.   The Bucks County district attorney's office did not provide a public comment about the case on Wednesday. There was no attorney listed for Mohn in court records, and attempts to seek comment on his behalf were unsuccessful.   The motive behind this horrifying act is still under investigation as the community tries to come to terms with the shocking events that unfolded in their midst.

Brian Walshe, who is facing charges related to the alleged murder of his wife Ana Walshe, is scheduled to be sentenced next month in a federal art fraud case. The decision comes as a result of an agreement reached between his defense lawyer and the prosecutor, aimed at resolving the impact of accusations regarding his theft from his father's estate on his federal sentence. Walshe, a resident of Cohasset, was charged with the sale of two counterfeit Andy Warhol paintings in 2016. Investigators believe that he obtained authentic paintings from a friend and attempted to sell replicas on eBay using photographs. He entered a guilty plea in 2021 in connection with this case. However, the sentencing process was delayed due to allegations that he had embezzled over $100,000 from his father's bank accounts approximately three months after his father's demise in 2018, as previously reported by Boston.com. During a recent brief hearing, Walshe's criminal lawyer, Tracy Miner, and prosecutor Timothy Moran informed the judge of their intention to present facts related to the probate issue. They sought a decision from the judge regarding whether these actions amounted to obstruction of justice in connection with the federal case. Brian Walshe's final sentencing in the federal art fraud case is currently scheduled for February 22. However, he was not present in court during the recent hearing. Walshe remains in custody, facing charges related to the alleged murder of his wife and the disposal of her body. The case continues to garner attention as it combines allegations of art fraud with more serious charges related to the suspected murder of Ana Walshe. The legal proceedings will determine the outcome of both cases, shedding light on the extent of his involvement in the alleged art fraud and the circumstances surrounding his wife's tragic death.

An 18-year-old babysitter in Wisconsin has been arrested and charged with mistreatment of animals causing death using a dangerous weapon after allegedly killing the family's chihuahua in front of the 4-year-old child she was watching. The incident occurred in the Village of Sussex, located approximately 20 miles northwest of Milwaukee. Deputies from the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department responded to a call regarding a deceased family dog named "Batman" found inside a residence on January 26. The responding officers observed injuries on the dog consistent with a stab wound and noticed that a plastic bag had been placed over its head. According to a press release from the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department, the family had a babysitter, identified as Kielee Sonnemann, at their home on January 25. They suspected that she had killed the dog, an 8-year-old Chihuahua. Sonnemann was subsequently interviewed by the police and arrested for her alleged involvement in the dog's death. Lt. Nicholas Wenzel from the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department stated, "While the victims of this incident grieve the loss of a beloved family pet, the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department fully recognizes the severity of this crime." In an interview with Milwaukee NBC affiliate WTMJ, the family revealed that their 4-year-old daughter discovered the deceased dog beneath a pile of blood-soaked blankets. During her police interview, Sonnemann did not confess to any specific wrongdoing but admitted to "shooing" the dog away to some extent. She also told police that when she gets angry and lashes out, everything goes blank, and she does not remember what happened that evening. As the investigation continued, Sonnemann reportedly stated that "there was a lot of drama going on" and that it "sounded like I did it" regarding Batman's death. Prosecutors have emphasized that there is evidence suggesting that Sonnemann killed the dog in front of the 4-year-old child. Waukesha County District Attorney Susan Opper expressed concern about the case, stating, "There's at least some suggestion that this was a crime of violence perpetrated in the presence of a 4-year-old child. The crime itself is very disturbing." If convicted, Sonnemann faces a maximum sentence of four years in prison for the alleged mistreatment of animals causing death using a dangerous weapon. The case highlights the seriousness with which authorities are addressing the incident, especially considering the presence of a young child during the alleged crime.

Attorneys representing Richard Allen, the suspect in the Delphi murders case, have filed a motion seeking the removal of Special Judge Fran Gull from the proceedings. In a recent legal maneuver, attorneys Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi argued that Judge Gull should be replaced or should recuse herself from the case.    The motion is the latest development in a series of legal maneuvers surrounding the Delphi murders case. Richard Allen faces charges related to the deaths of Abby Williams and Libby German in February 2017 near the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, Indiana.    Baldwin and Rozzi, who were recently reinstated as Allen's defense team, are now seeking Judge Gull's removal from the case. This move follows Gull's earlier call for their removal, citing a social media leak of evidence as a factor. Although Baldwin and Rozzi initially resigned, they later contended that they did so under pressure. Subsequently, two new attorneys were appointed to represent Allen.    The reinstatement of Baldwin and Rozzi involved a legal battle that reached the Indiana Supreme Court. While the highest court in the state reinstated the defense attorneys, they also denied a motion to remove Judge Gull from the case.    In their latest motion seeking Judge Gull's removal, Baldwin and Rozzi, on behalf of their client Richard Allen, questioned Gull's impartiality and her ability to oversee the case without bias. They expressed concerns that Gull's previous actions had affected their attorney-client relationship.    The motion argued that Gull's recusal would help eliminate any perception of impropriety in the case. It questioned whether Gull, having previously removed the defense attorneys, could make rulings without raising doubts about her impartiality.    During the course of the proceedings, Gull had accused Rozzi and Baldwin of acting negligently and with incompetence in their defense of Allen, alleging violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct. She also expressed "grave concerns" about their ability to represent him. The defense attorneys contended that Gull's actions had violated Allen's constitutional right to due process.    In a 22-page affidavit accompanying the motion, Richard Allen accused Judge Gull of misleading the public during the October 19 proceedings when she announced the attorneys' withdrawal from the case. He also claimed that Gull had interfered with his right to a speedy trial.    The affidavit further alleged that Gull had treated the prosecution more favorably than the defense. Allen accused Gull of allowing the prosecution to withhold potentially exculpatory evidence for months, while she had criticized the defense attorneys for their actions.    The motion argued that Judge Gull had interfered with Allen's right to a speedy trial by preventing him from having counsel of his choosing, resulting in trial delays. Additionally, Allen claimed that his confinement at Westville Correctional Facility since his arrest in October 2022 had led to both mental and physical deterioration.    Furthermore, the affidavit asserted that Judge Gull had shielded certain defense documents and records from public view, violating administrative rules from the Indiana Supreme Court and compromising public access.    The motion ultimately called for Judge Gull's removal or recusal from the case, citing concerns about her impartiality and her impact on the attorney-client relationship. It remains to be seen how this latest development will affect the ongoing legal proceedings in the Delphi murders case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The trial of Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of the Oxford High School shooter, continues with testimony, marked by debates over potential testimony from the shooter and his psychiatrists. Defense attorney Shannon Smith sought permission for them to testify due to the introduction of specific text messages as evidence during the trial. These messages were exchanges between the shooter and a friend, in which he revealed his mental health struggles and expressed frustration over his parents' failure to provide the necessary assistance. During the shooter's Miller hearing, he acknowledged that his parents had no knowledge of his mental health issues or his intentions regarding the shooting. Smith argued, "I agree with this court, there's no case law, and that's why I am asking this court to make the decision to not allow these statements, pursuant to the court rule because I have no way to defend them." The day's proceedings delved into the family's digital footprint, as the prosecution aimed to demonstrate that Jennifer Crumbley ignored warning signs that could have prevented the tragic mass shooting, which claimed the lives of four students. Prosecutors emphasized that their case was not about criminalizing bad parenting but rather establishing a pattern leading up to the shooting. During this period, the convicted shooter repeatedly informed his mother of his need for help, yet no action was taken. Ed Wagrowski, a computer crimes expert, testified about the data retrieved from the seven phones collected from the shooter and his parents. The prosecution focused on messages sent in March 2021, where the shooter expressed fear and anxiety, claiming he heard strange sounds and saw demons while home alone. His parents, however, seemingly ignored these distressing messages as they were occupied with other activities. Despite the prosecution's efforts to establish a neglectful pattern, the defense contested this narrative. In the afternoon session, the jury was shown Jennifer Crumbley's actions in the aftermath of the mass shooting, including her deletion of several messages while she and her husband were on the run. The trial began with opening statements from both the prosecution and defense, with four witnesses testifying on the first day. Among them were Molly Darnell, a teacher who made eye contact with the shooter before shots were fired, and Kristy Gibson-Marshall, an Oxford assistant principal who encountered one of the victims after being shot. Additionally, the manager of the store where James Crumbley purchased the gun used in the shooting testified, as did Special Agent Brett Brandon of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Defense attorney Shannon Smith started her opening statement by referencing Taylor Swift's song "Bad Blood" and suggested that the prosecution's approach was akin to applying a Band-Aid to a bullet hole. She argued that Jennifer Crumbley had no way of foreseeing the shooting and claimed that school officials allowed her son to remain at school on the day of the tragedy. The prosecution is expected to call 20-25 witnesses over the next two weeks of the trial. Jury selection concluded with a 17-person jury comprising 10 women and seven men. Jennifer and James Crumbley face four counts of involuntary manslaughter for their role in the tragic Oxford High School shooting in November 2021. Prosecutors allege that the parents purchased the gun used in the shooting and failed to provide their son with the necessary help. The shooter was sentenced to life in prison without parole in December 2023. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A Florida deputy, identified as Tristan Chattic, faces charges of aggravated child abuse following a distressing incident involving his 13-year-old daughter's use of a tablet for homework assistance. The alleged assault occurred on Wednesday, prompting an immediate response from authorities and sparking concerns about domestic violence within law enforcement ranks. According to the Volusia Sheriff's Office arrest affidavit, the incident unfolded when Chattic's daughter was using a tablet for her homework. She employed the device's Alexa feature to answer a question related to her studies, which seemingly triggered an explosive reaction from her father. As detailed in the affidavit, Tristan Chattic allegedly unplugged the tablet in anger after his daughter used Alexa, setting off a chain of events that escalated dramatically. Eyewitness accounts suggest that he became extremely agitated, leading to a series of violent actions against his own child: - Yelling at her - Slapping her in the face - Grabbing her hair - Choking her - Pushing her off her chair, causing her to hit her head on the floor - Stepping on her back and hitting her with a belt while she was pinned down Chattic's wife, who was present during the incident, corroborated these distressing details to law enforcement. She expressed concerns about her daughter's well-being and the recent volatility of her husband's behavior, emphasizing that while he had not previously been physically abusive, he exhibited significant mental and emotional abuse. Following the incident, deputies learned that the Chattic residence had an internal video camera, although it did not record footage of the altercation. Due to the suspicious circumstances and the severity of the allegations, Tristan Chattic was taken into custody on Wednesday and subsequently released on Thursday after posting a $5,000 bond. In response to the charges, the Orange County Sheriff's Office took immediate action, relieving Chattic of his duties without pay as the criminal case unfolds. Chattic, 39, had been employed by the OCSO since February 2015. Orange County Sheriff John Mina addressed the situation, stating, "These are extremely serious criminal allegations. At the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, we hold our deputies to the highest ethical standards whether they are on duty or off duty. I have a zero-tolerance policy toward child abuse — or any form of domestic violence. These allegations will be thoroughly investigated, and the results of that investigation will be made public." Tristan Chattic is scheduled for an arraignment on February 29 in Volusia County Circuit Court, where further legal proceedings will take place. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a harrowing case that has sent shockwaves through the community, Shanda Vander Ark, a Michigan woman, has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her 15-year-old son, Timothy Ferguson, who tragically died in July 2022. Vander Ark, convicted of murder in December, received her life sentence on Tuesday, accompanied by an additional 50-to-100-year sentence for child abuse, according to court records. Timothy Ferguson's death left investigators and prosecutors stunned, as he was found to weigh a mere 69 pounds at the time of his passing, displaying clear signs of malnutrition and hypothermia. The distressing details of the case have deeply affected those involved, particularly the presiding judge, Matthew Kacel, who did not mince words during Vander Ark's sentencing. “You intentionally and systematically tortured this child,” Judge Kacel declared during the sentencing, as reported by WOOD. “Let’s call it what it is. It’s torture. You tortured this child.” The case garnered national attention when, during her trial, Vander Ark testified and was shown pictures of Timothy's emaciated body. A video posted on Court TV captured a disturbing moment when she repeatedly appeared to vomit in response to the graphic images, further highlighting the severity of the situation. The accusations against Vander Ark, as cited by CBS News and prosecutors, depict a disturbing pattern of abuse inflicted upon her son. She was accused of subjecting Timothy to various forms of torment, including forcing him to consume hot sauce, immersing him in ice baths, and depriving him of access to the refrigerator and cabinets, leading to his severe malnutrition. The sentencing of Shanda Vander Ark serves as a stark reminder of the importance of protecting vulnerable children from abuse and neglect. The case has raised questions about child welfare and the need for vigilance in identifying and reporting instances of child abuse. Child advocacy groups and concerned citizens have urged individuals to be proactive in reporting suspected cases of child abuse to the appropriate authorities, emphasizing the significance of early intervention to prevent such tragic outcomes.

Travis McBride, a 46-year-old therapist specializing in anger management, has been taken into custody and charged with first-degree premeditated murder in connection with the death of 51-year-old Clinton Dorsey. The arrest, made by authorities in DeLand, Florida, has sent shockwaves through the community and raised questions about the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident.    Police in DeLand responded to what was described as a "suspicious incident" in a home, leading to a grim discovery. Authorities found a lifeless body near the scene, prompting an immediate investigation.    In an updated statement, the DeLand Police Department identified Travis McBride as the primary suspect in this case. The investigation revealed that Dorsey's body was discovered in McBride's car, shedding light on a connection between the two individuals.    According to police, McBride and Dorsey were embroiled in an ongoing dispute that ultimately culminated in Dorsey's tragic demise.    A female witness, who contacted the authorities, provided crucial information about the events leading up to the incident. She recounted an encounter with McBride the previous night when he came to her door, seeking Dorsey. McBride alleged that Dorsey had harmed his dogs and issued a chilling threat.    The witness reported that McBride stated he "was going to kill him," though she later expressed uncertainty about whether he had said he planned to harm or kill Dorsey.    Tragically, a few hours after this encounter, the witness claimed to have heard approximately eight to nine gunshots. She alleged that she witnessed McBride shooting the victim.    Additionally, another male witness called 911 to report a person "cleaning up the blood because he killed someone." This witness further claimed to have seen the individual carrying a body across the road and placing it in a car before driving away.    The female witness who had earlier interacted with McBride also reported that he returned to her home the following morning and threatened her against notifying authorities. Her fear of McBride was palpable, and she stated that she had observed him dragging Dorsey's lifeless body into a wooded area.    It's worth noting that McBride had a previous encounter with the law in 2017. He was accused of choking a woman after she took his dog out in a manner that upset him. Although charges were not pursued in that case, McBride received a deferred prosecution agreement, contingent on avoiding violent contact with the woman.  As of now, it remains unclear whether Travis McBride has entered a plea in response to the charges. Attempts to contact his attorney have been unsuccessful, leaving many questions unanswered in this tragic and shocking case. The community awaits further developments in the investigation, hoping for clarity and justice in the wake of this unsettling incident. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The puzzling deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans, Clayton McGeeney, David Harrington, and Ricky Johnson, have left the community in shock and raised questions about what could have led to their bizarre demise. On January 9, their lifeless bodies were discovered frozen in the backyard of their friend Jordan Willis' home, two days after they had gathered to watch a football game.    The grim discovery was made after McGeeney's fiancée became concerned when he failed to return home on that Sunday, and attempts to reach Willis, the homeowner, went unanswered. When police arrived at the scene, Willis was reportedly found with a wine glass in hand, seemingly unaware of the tragedy unfolding in his backyard. His claim of being asleep with noise-canceling headphones for two days has raised eyebrows.    Despite the eerie circumstances, authorities have ruled out foul play, and Willis is not considered a suspect. However, the deaths remain shrouded in mystery, leaving the community seeking answers.    Dr. Caleb Alexander, an epidemiologist from Johns Hopkins University, has weighed in on the case, suggesting that the deaths could be linked to a dangerous combination of opioid-like drugs and alcohol. He emphasized that the involvement of three individuals intensifies the curiosity and tragedy surrounding the incident, indicating that more than just moderate alcohol consumption may have played a role.    Dr. Alexander explained that various prescription drugs, when combined with alcohol, can lead to a heightened level of sedation, potentially resulting in the victims succumbing to the freezing weather. Common drugs such as Xanax, Ativan, Valium, and carisoprodol were cited as potential culprits.    Illicit opioids like fentanyl also remain a possibility, with Dr. Alexander considering it "a very plausible scenario." He noted the recent tragedy of musician Jose Vasquez and his wife succumbing to a fentanyl overdose, emphasizing the risk even in group settings.    The weather conditions on January 7 and 8, with temperatures in the 30s, could have contributed to their deaths. Dr. Alexander explained that sitting outdoors without movement in such weather could pose serious danger, as individuals would not generate enough body heat to stay warm.  As the Kansas City Police Department awaits the results of autopsies and toxicology reports, the true cause of this tragic incident remains uncertain. Dr. Alexander stressed the importance of these reports in unraveling the mystery.    The community and the families of the deceased are left in grief and confusion, with many hoping for clarity and closure regarding the deaths of three friends whose lives ended so tragically and unexpectedly.

Background information: In a shocking turn of events, allegations of contradictory statements and abusive behavior have come to light surrounding Missouri fire captain Robert Daus, following the tragic deaths of two women connected to him. The wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Grace Holland, his first fiancée, has exposed a disturbing pattern of abuse and questionable circumstances in her demise. Grace Holland's death in 2020, marked by a single gunshot wound to the head, initially led to a ruling of suicide. However, her family has persistently demanded justice, asserting that her death was not thoroughly investigated. The lawsuit they filed sheds light on the troubled relationship between Grace Holland and Robert Daus. According to the lawsuit, Holland endured both psychological and physical abuse during her four-year relationship with Daus. Incidents of physical violence, including pushing, shoving, and dragging, were reported. Her mother, Patricia, even witnessed bruises on her daughter's arms, thighs, and spine as a result of Daus's alleged aggression. Daus is accused of manipulating Holland's financial situation, pressuring her to leave her job and work for a company he owned. Instead of paying her directly, the company paid Daus, giving him control over the money, and consequently, over Grace. The engagement ring, a symbol of their commitment, vanished after Grace Holland's death, leading to suspicions that it might have been tampered with. Moreover, the circumstances of her death raise questions. Holland was right-handed, but she was shot in her left temple, a detail inconsistent with her dominant hand and suggesting that the shooter may have stood opposite her, using their right hand. Text messages exchanged between Holland and Daus in the days leading up to her death reveal a tumultuous relationship marked by moments of extreme abuse and sudden shifts to seemingly mundane conversations. Daus repeatedly offered Holland money to abort their child, and these messages paint a picture of a deeply troubled relationship. On the fateful morning of Holland's death, Daus provided two conflicting accounts of the incident. Initially, he reported that Holland had hugged him and then shot herself in the bedroom. However, later at the police station, accompanied by his lawyer, he presented a different narrative, stating that Holland had hugged him and then uttered the word "Goodbye" before shooting herself. The lawsuit and these allegations have raised serious doubts about the circumstances surrounding Grace Holland's death. While Robert Daus was never charged with a crime in connection to her death, her family firmly believes that he is liable for her wrongful death. Tragically, this is not the first time that Robert Daus's name has been linked to a woman's untimely death. In a startling and disturbing pattern, his second fiancée, Dr. Sarah Sweeney, was recently found dead in his home in suburban St. Louis. The investigation into Sweeney's death remains ongoing. The Holland family's fight for justice has been reignited in the wake of these events, echoing the sentiments of Dr. Sweeney's mother, Teresa Sweeney Light, who expressed a desire for "truthful and fair" closure. The unresolved questions surrounding these tragic deaths continue to cast a shadow over Robert Daus and the investigations into these unsettling cases. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The discovery of Dr. Sarah Sweeney's lifeless body in the home of local fire captain Robert Daus has sent shockwaves through the community, eerily mirroring the tragic events that unfolded in the same house three years earlier. As investigators delve into the circumstances surrounding both deaths, questions linger, and families seek answers.* On Saturday, January 13, Frontenac Police reported the discovery of Dr. Sarah Sweeney's body in the home she shared with her fiance, Robert Daus, a fire captain. There were no apparent signs of struggle at the scene, but the sudden death raised immediate concerns. Dr. Sweeney, originally from West Virginia, had recently relocated to Missouri to establish her podiatry practice, bringing with her a reputation for her passion for animals. The link between Robert Daus and Sarah Sweeney can be traced back to their encounter during Sweeney's emergency room shift shortly after she had moved to St. Louis. Described as "vibrant and outgoing," Sweeney was not only dedicated to her medical career but also known for her rescue and ownership of several dogs and cats over the years. Tragically, the discovery of Sweeney's lifeless body echoes a previous incident in the same house. In 2020, Grace Holland, a 35-year-old mother of four and Daus's fiancee at the time, met a similar fate, succumbing to a single gunshot wound to the head. Despite her death initially being ruled as a suicide, the circumstances surrounding it have raised significant doubts. The wrongful death lawsuit filed by Grace Holland's family in July alleged that "Daus has never given any explanation regarding what happened the night of Grace's death, much less explained how Grace went from being in bed at the Conway house to dead in the Fairways house seven hours later." The lawsuit further questioned the nature of Holland's death, given her right-handedness and the apparent inconsistency with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the left temple. In addition to the questions surrounding the deaths, the lawsuit detailed allegations of physical and mental abuse within Daus and Holland's relationship. It claimed that Daus pressured Holland to work for his family company to control her finances and manipulated property ownership matters, leaving her off the deed of the house they had purchased together. The legal action also brought to light text messages suggesting a tumultuous relationship, with Daus repeatedly expressing his desire to end the engagement. Despite the frequent conflicts, Holland's family believed there was something suspicious about her death. Now, with the eerie parallel between Sarah Sweeney's death and Grace Holland's tragedy, there are renewed concerns and questions about the events in Daus's home. The circumstances surrounding both deaths have drawn attention, and the families involved are seeking answers. As investigations continue, Sarah Sweeney's family is awaiting the results of autopsy and toxicology reports, which may provide crucial insights into her untimely passing. Meanwhile, the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Grace Holland's family remains ongoing, as they continue to seek justice and clarity regarding her death. Both cases have prompted public interest, and authorities are urging anyone with information related to either incident to come forward. The investigation into Sarah Sweeney's death is being handled by the Frontenac Police Department, reachable at 314-373-6509, while the St. Louis County Police can be contacted at 314-615-5400 regarding Grace Holland's case. The community and families involved hope that a thorough examination will finally bring closure and answers to these tragic events. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Attorneys representing Adam Fravel, the man accused of the murder of Madeline Kingsbury, have filed a series of motions in an effort to change the course of the case and secure a dismissal of the most serious charge he faces. Fravel is currently charged with first-degree and second-degree murder for Kingsbury's death, a case that has garnered extensive media attention.* Fravel's defense team is determined to shift the legal proceedings due to their concerns about the case's high-profile nature. They have requested a change of venue, contending that "a fair trial for Mr. Fravel cannot be accomplished in Winona County" because of the overwhelming media coverage surrounding the case. This motion raises questions about the impartiality of a local jury. One of the pivotal arguments made by Fravel's attorneys pertains to the grand jury's indictment. They argue that the grand jury lacked sufficient evidence to establish premeditation and intent, which are essential elements for a first-degree murder charge. This motion seeks to challenge the basis of the charges against Fravel. In addition to the dismissal request, the defense is aiming to prevent the state from seeking aggravated charges against Fravel if he is found guilty. They assert that the factors presented by the prosecutors are not applicable to Fravel's case, indicating a desire to limit the severity of potential penalties. Furthermore, the defense is seeking to exclude certain pieces of evidence from the trial. They aim to block any testimony related to Madeline Kingsbury's medical history, mental health, or statements made to therapists or counselors. These measures are taken to ensure that the case remains focused on the facts and circumstances directly related to the alleged crime. One particularly noteworthy motion pertains to a statement referencing another high-profile murder victim, Gabby Petito, made before Fravel's arrest. The defense argues that Fravel was not properly Mirandized, raising concerns about the admissibility of this statement in court. Another aspect of the defense's strategy involves challenging the validity of the data obtained from Fravel's phone between March 31 and April 2. They allege that law enforcement's statements used to obtain the warrant for this data were based on false information, aiming to exclude this potentially incriminating evidence. These motions will now be subject to the judgment of a judge who will rule on them at a later date. A contested omnibus hearing is scheduled for March 19, where key decisions regarding the future of the case may be made. As legal proceedings continue, the focus remains on ensuring a fair and just resolution for all parties involved in this high-profile murder case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a chilling turn of events reminiscent of a Hollywood thriller, the kidnapping of Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn has now become the central focus of a Netflix docuseries, "American Nightmare." The harrowing tale unfolded in the early hours of March 23, 2015, and has since captivated audiences worldwide with its astonishing twists and turns. On that fateful night, an intruder infiltrated Aaron Quinn's home in the San Francisco Bay Area while he and his girlfriend, Denise Huskins, were present. The assailant, armed with a fake gun, bound and blindfolded the couple, forcing them to consume a sedative. He further terrorized them with a pre-recorded message, claiming to be part of a professional group collecting financial debts and threatening violence if they didn't comply with his demands. Huskins was forcibly taken away in a vehicle, while Quinn received ransom demands for $17,000. However, the ransom was never paid. Quinn, grappling with fear for his girlfriend's safety, finally reported the incident to the police later that day. Inexplicably, the Vallejo police, according to a subsequent lawsuit filed by the couple against the City of Vallejo and its police force, dismissed their claims, accusing Quinn of killing Huskins and concocting an elaborate story. Quinn was subjected to an 18-hour interrogation and a lie-detector test, during which he was falsely told he had failed. This disbelief and mistreatment would set the stage for a bizarre and tragic chain of events. Two days after Huskins's abduction, Vallejo police publicly declared that they believed the couple had fabricated the entire story, with Lt. Kenny Park accusing them of wasting valuable resources and causing fear within the community. Criminal charges were even hinted at. However, the story took an eerie turn when the San Francisco Chronicle received a series of emails claiming to be from Huskins's kidnapper. The emails contained "proof of life" messages and intricate details about the abduction that only the couple and their abductor would know. It was later confirmed that these emails had indeed originated from Huskins's kidnapper. The breakthrough in this perplexing case came months later when officers from the Dublin Police Services arrested Matthew Muller, a Harvard-trained attorney and former U.S. marine, during an unrelated investigation. Evidence found at Muller's South Lake Tahoe home linked him to the kidnapping. An FBI investigation uncovered disturbing videos of Muller sexually assaulting Huskins while she was blindfolded. In 2017, Muller was sentenced to 40 years in prison for his heinous crimes. Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn finally received the validation they had sought, but the emotional scars remained. In March 2016, the couple filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Vallejo, accusing them of a "vicious and shocking attack" on them and creating a media frenzy by accusing them of faking the crime. The City of Vallejo later settled for $2.5 million, but it wasn't until 2021 that Vallejo police publicly apologized for their treatment of the couple. Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn, who married in 2018, have embarked on a journey of healing and redemption. They underwent therapy to rebuild their lives, resumed their careers as physical therapists, and even co-authored a book about their harrowing experience. Despite the closure brought by Muller's conviction, the couple still grapples with unanswered questions. As Huskins stated, "We're never going to get the answers. We've had a long road of trying to accept that." The Netflix docuseries "American Nightmare" sheds light on this extraordinary case, showcasing the enduring strength of two individuals who faced unimaginable adversity and emerged stronger than ever.

The Los Angeles Innocence Project has initiated an investigation into the 2004 murder conviction of Scott Peterson, citing fresh evidence that supports his claims of innocence in the deaths of his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son, Conner. Scott Peterson's conviction in 2004 for first-degree murder in Laci's death and second-degree murder in Conner's sent shockwaves across the nation. Despite his death penalty sentence being overturned in 2020, his conviction has remained a contentious issue, drawing attention from legal experts and the public alike. The case began in December 2002 when Laci Peterson mysteriously vanished while eight months pregnant. Months later, the bodies of Laci and Conner washed ashore in the San Francisco Bay, their advanced state of decomposition complicating the determination of the exact cause of death. Early suspicions pointed towards Scott Peterson, exacerbated by his extramarital affair with Amber Frey. In 2004, Scott endured a five-month-long trial where prosecutors alleged that he murdered his family to collect a hefty life insurance payout. His conviction was partially rooted in his behavior after Laci's disappearance and his recorded conversations with Amber Frey, which portrayed him as dishonest and manipulative. Since his conviction, Scott Peterson has resided in San Quentin State Prison, adapting to the challenges of incarceration. His charismatic demeanor earned him the moniker "Scottie-Too-Hottie" among supporters and admirers. The legal battles surrounding Scott Peterson's case have been protracted and intense. In a significant development in 2020, the California Supreme Court overturned his death penalty sentence due to flaws in the trial process. While his conviction remained intact, this marked a turning point in the ongoing pursuit of a new trial. In the year 2024, the Los Angeles Innocence Project has undertaken Scott Peterson's case. New evidence has emerged, including updated witness statements that suggest a potential link between Laci's murder and a December 2002 burglary near the Petersons' residence. The organization also intends to perform fresh DNA testing on a blood-stained mattress discovered in proximity to the crime scene. Scott Peterson steadfastly maintains his innocence, and the involvement of the Los Angeles Innocence Project has injected optimism among those who believe he may have been wrongfully convicted. His attorney, Pat Harris, conveyed enthusiasm for the organization's efforts to establish Scott's innocence. The complex legal saga of Scott Peterson endures, as the pursuit of justice continues, driven by the hope that new evidence may shed light on the truth surrounding the tragic deaths of Laci and Conner Peterson.

Two Colorado funeral home owners are facing trial after allegedly abandoning nearly 200 bodies they were responsible for cremation or burying, storing the remains in a neglected building for extended periods. Judge William Moller ruled that Carie Hallford, co-owner of Return to Nature Funeral Home, can face trial on 260 counts, including corpse abuse, money laundering, forgery, and theft. The investigation into the funeral home's practices began in early October following reports of a foul odor emanating from the building. The Hallfords were subsequently arrested in Oklahoma around a month later. Jon Hallford, also a co-owner, was initially scheduled for a preliminary hearing on January 4. However, his defense counsel requested a continuance, citing the need to review over 7,000 pages of documents. His preliminary hearing has been rescheduled to February 8. Additionally, his bond was reduced from a $2 million cash-only bond to a $100,000 cash property or surety bond. Judge Moller, at the request of Carie Hallford's attorney, significantly reduced her bond from $2 million to $100,000, potentially allowing her release from jail while the trial is pending. He noted that the crimes attributed to the Hallfords were not violent in nature, and Carie Hallford had no prior criminal record. The judge remarked, "The behavior of the Hallfords was designed to prevent the discovery of the bodies." Leading up to the discovery in October, the Hallfords faced financial difficulties, missed tax payments, eviction from one of their properties, and legal action for unpaid bills from a crematory that had ceased doing business with them. While prosecutors have not detailed a motive for the Hallfords' actions, FBI agent Andrew Cohen testified about the horrific conditions at the Penrose, Colorado building where decomposing bodies were found. The bodies were stored at room temperature, stacked on top of each other, and infested with flies and maggots. Text messages between the Hallfords revealed growing financial pressures and fears of being caught for mishandling the bodies. Jon Hallford even suggested disposing of the bodies by burying them with other deceased individuals or treating them with lye or fire, according to the presented texts. Judge Moller observed that the evidence pointed to a "pattern of ongoing behavior" aimed at evading detection. The Hallfords also allegedly provided concrete mix to families instead of ashes. Carie Hallford's lawyer, Michael Stuzynski, argued that, apart from surveillance video from September 9 showing Jon Hallford moving some bodies, there was no evidence of intentional mistreatment of the remains, suggesting "passive neglect." As the case proceeds to trial, the shocking allegations surrounding the mishandling of these bodies have left many questions unanswered and have cast a spotlight on the need for stricter oversight and regulations within the funeral home industry.

A scathing report released by the US Justice Department has unveiled shocking details surrounding the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, 2022. The incident, which claimed the lives of innocent children and a teacher, exposed a series of failures in law enforcement response and communication, leaving the community in turmoil.    During the terrifying ordeal, 9- and 10-year-old children inside Robb Elementary School made desperate pleas for assistance. Heart-wrenching cries of "Help! Help! Help!" and heart-rending statements such as "I don't want to die. My teacher is dead" and "There is a lot of dead bodies" echoed through the 911 call during the initial 37 minutes of the deadly siege.    One of the most significant failures highlighted in the Justice Department's 575-page report was the law enforcement officers' inability to promptly recognize the incident as an active shooter scenario. The report acknowledges the quick arrival of officers who bravely ran towards the sound of gunfire. However, they froze upon reaching the classrooms, failing to use available resources to enter and eliminate the threat.    According to the report, officers retreated from the gunfire, opting to wait for reinforcements and treating the gunman as a barricaded suspect. This delay allowed the shooter to continue his rampage for an additional 40 minutes, resulting in further casualties.    The report emphasized the critical role of leadership in law enforcement during moments of dire challenge. However, it stated that leadership was notably absent for an extended period during the Robb Elementary School response. Key figures, including then-school Police Chief Pete Arredondo, then-acting Uvalde Police Chief Mariano Pargas, and Uvalde County Sheriff Ruben Nolasco, were cited for their failures in leadership.    Arredondo, identified as the de facto on-scene commander, prioritized evacuations over immediate breach and entry into the room with the shooter, contrary to active shooter response principles. Sheriff Nolasco was criticized for not sharing vital information about the gunman, leading to a lack of coordination among law enforcement personnel.    The initial crime scene investigation, handled by the Texas Department of Public Safety, faced difficulties due to numerous individuals entering the classrooms. Officers moved deceased victims within the chaotic scene, potentially compromising evidence.    The report also revealed that the gunman's hellfire trigger system was not initially cataloged as evidence due to a lack of understanding of its relevance. An offer by the FBI to process the shooter's truck before a storm was not accepted, further impacting potential evidence.    Additionally, the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Department operated without standard operating procedures at the time. The lack of clear policies and procedures contributed to confusion and a culture of complacency regarding locked-door policies within the district.    The report dismissed the initial narrative of heroic first responders saving lives and criticized the disorganized and chaotic death notification process. Families faced obstacles in locating their loved ones, accessing hospitals, and receiving timely information. Some were provided with incomplete or inaccurate information, adding to their pain.    Attorney General Merrick Garland commented on the findings, stating, "The victims and survivors of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School deserved better. The law enforcement response at Robb Elementary on May 24th, 2022 — and the response by officials in the hours and days after — was a failure."    The release of the report has prompted demands for accountability and calls for improvements in law enforcement training, response protocols, and communication within the Uvalde community and beyond.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a significant development in the 2017 Delphi murder case, Richard Allen faced new charges on Thursday. The Carroll County Prosecutor's Office, led by Nicholas McLeland, expanded the charges against Allen, adding two counts each of murder and kidnapping in the deaths of Libby German and Abby Williams.    Originally, in October 2022, Allen was charged with murder while committing a felony. However, the specific felony of kidnapping the two girls, which was implied in the initial murder charges, was formally added only now. The additional murder charges, as defined under Indiana law, accuse Allen of knowingly or intentionally causing the death of another person.    The legal intricacies of these charges are noteworthy. The initial charge of murder in the commission of a felony suggests that Allen kidnapped 14-year-old Libby and 13-year-old Abby, leading them away from the trails near the Monon High Bridge in Delphi. During this alleged kidnapping, the girls tragically lost their lives. Under this charge, the prosecution does not need to establish that Allen was the direct perpetrator of the killings. In contrast, the new murder charges explicitly accuse Allen of the act of killing the girls on February 13, 2017, near the Deer Creek, a short distance from the Monon High Bridge.    The implications of these charges are substantial. If Allen is found guilty on all four counts of murder, he would face sentencing for only two of them, as per legal provisions. Each murder charge carries a potential sentence of 45 to 65 years in prison. The kidnapping charges, if proven, could result in an additional three to 16 years of imprisonment. McLeland's request to the court to amend the charging information to include these new charges awaits a decision from Special Judge Fran Gull.    In a related development, Allen's defense strategy came under the spotlight. His legal representation reverted to his original public defenders, Brad Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin, following a ruling by the Indiana Supreme Court. This change occurred after Allen successfully petitioned the Supreme Court to reinstate his initial attorneys, who had been removed by Judge Gull on October 31, 2023. McLeland, in his legal filings, emphasized that the trial, scheduled for October, is still months away, providing ample time for the defense to prepare against the amended charges.    McLeland's approach in filing these new charges is strategic. He stated in his legal pleadings that the amended charges align more closely with the evidence and the probable cause affidavit in the case. Furthermore, he assured that these additional charges would not prejudice Allen's rights, indicating that Allen and his legal team were previously aware of the potential for new charges.    The case has garnered significant attention, partly due to the nature of the crimes and the prolonged investigation that followed. The deaths of Libby German and Abby Williams, who were just entering their teenage years, shocked the community of Delphi and captured national interest. The addition of these new charges marks a pivotal moment in the legal proceedings, potentially bringing the case closer to a resolution.    As the trial date approaches, the focus will undoubtedly shift to the courtroom, where the evidence and arguments presented will determine the outcome of this tragic and complex case. The community, still reeling from the loss of two young lives, awaits justice, hoping for closure in a case that has lingered in the public consciousness for years.

The Indiana Supreme Court was the stage for legal arguments on Thursday as Richard Allen, the individual charged with the 2017 double murders of teenagers Abby Williams and Libby German in Delphi, Indiana, seeks to reinstate his original defense team. Allen was notably absent from the court hearing, despite being the one who initiated the motion. Originally scheduled to stand trial for the double murders this month, Allen's case took an unexpected turn last October. Special Judge Fran Gull dismissed Allen's public defenders, Bradley Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin, following a leak of crime scene evidence online. Judge Gull characterized the attorneys as "grossly negligent" as part of her rationale for their removal. It later came to light that an employee of Baldwin and Rozzi's law office had taken the photos without permission, and they were not leaked by the lawyers themselves. Subsequently, new attorneys were assigned to Allen's case, with Judge Gull stating that his best interests required him to have access to a competent defense team. During Thursday's proceedings, Mark Leeman, counsel for the relator, argued that Judge Gull had not conducted a formal hearing to voice her concerns about alleged negligence and incompetence; instead, she made the decision without a proper discussion. Chief Justice Loretta Rush acknowledged this oversight and wondered if Judge Gull had acted beyond her authority. However, Matt Gutwein, counsel for the respondent, contended that the judge had indeed given Allen's former lawyers the option to continue with a trial, but they had voluntarily stepped down. Chief Justice Rush questioned the transcript from the conversation between Judge Gull and the attorneys, expressing doubts about whether the lawyers were genuinely given a choice regarding the trial. In response to the situation, Richard Allen has made three requests to the Indiana Supreme Court: the reinstatement of Bradley Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin, the appointment of a new judge, and a trial to be held within 70 days. Legal experts have offered differing perspectives on the potential outcome. Dr. Jody Madeira, a law professor at Indiana University, suggested that the judge would likely not be disqualified from the case, and Allen's original counsel might not be reinstated. She anticipated that the trial would move forward with a new defense team under Judge Gull's supervision. However, criminal defense attorney Brian Clayton raised the possibility that the Indiana Supreme Court could allow Allen's original defense team to be reinstated. Clayton emphasized Allen's constitutional right to competent legal counsel and the familiarity of his original lawyers with the intricacies of the case. Allen has expressed his desire for Bradley Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin to represent him. As a result of these legal proceedings, Richard Allen's trial, originally set for this month, has been postponed until October 2024. This delay is intended to provide Allen's new attorneys with sufficient time to review the case thoroughly. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A gruesome discovery in Pueblo, Colorado, has led to the arrest of Solomon Martinez, a 26-year-old man suspected of being involved in a horrific homicide. On January 10, the Pueblo Police Department responded to a report of a homicide and found the lifeless body of an adult female victim in Fountain Creek. As the investigation unfolded, disturbing details emerged, including the discovery of a severed human hand in Martinez's coat pocket. Authorities swiftly apprehended Martinez on suspicion of first-degree murder in connection with the gruesome incident. An arrest affidavit, reviewed by the Pueblo Chieftain, revealed that inside Martinez's left chest pocket, investigators found a plastic bag containing a human hand believed to belong to the victim. Shockingly, the suspect admitted to police that the severed hand had been in his jacket for two days. The grim discovery began with a tip from one of Martinez's roommates, who alerted the police about a body in the creek. According to the arrest affidavit, Martinez had appeared at a car wash on January 9 with blood on his hands and dirt on his clothing, raising suspicion among those who encountered him. Adding to the chilling account of events, a friend of the roommate claimed to have been in a car with Martinez on the same day. During their journey, they alleged that Martinez took a decapitated woman's body out of the trunk of his vehicle and dragged it toward Fountain Creek, as stated in the affidavit. Shockingly, this witness recorded a video of the scene after Martinez left and shared it with multiple individuals, including the police. However, upon his arrest, Martinez shifted blame, claiming that the witness who recorded the video was responsible for the victim's murder. He vehemently denied any involvement in the killing or dismemberment. Solomon Martinez currently remains in detention at Pueblo County jail, where he is held on a $1 million cash-only bond. He awaits his next scheduled appearance in Pueblo District court. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities yet to release further details. The Pueblo County Coroner's Office is tasked with determining the cause and manner of the victim's death. The deceased woman has been identified as Renee Marie Portillos, aged 47, by the coroner's office. An autopsy has been completed, and her next of kin has been notified. The disturbing nature of this case has left the local community and law enforcement authorities deeply unsettled. As the investigation progresses, more information may come to light, shedding further light on the harrowing events leading to this tragic incident. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Previously undisclosed and deeply disturbing details about the operations of the Return to Nature Funeral Home came to light during a recent court hearing, leaving those in the El Paso County courtroom shocked and heartbroken. The hearing provided graphic evidence of the horrifying conditions discovered at the funeral home in Penrose, Colorado, back in October. Carie Hallford, one of the funeral home's co-owners, faced a preliminary hearing on multiple felony charges related to the improper storage of nearly 200 bodies, primarily comprised of family members of victims who attended the hearing. FBI Agent Andrew Cohen testified, revealing a harrowing picture of the 2500-square-foot facility. The facility, divided into 14 rooms labeled alphabetically, housed adult, infant, and fetus bodies. Shockingly, up to 43 bodies were found stacked in a single room, and some rooms were initially inaccessible due to the high stacking of bodies. The evidence unveiled during the hearing depicted a horrifying scene, with commercial shelves used to store bodies, bodies strewn across the floor or placed in hospital beds. The bodies were wrapped in plastic and secured with duct tape, while some were fully exposed, dressed in clothes, or covered in mold and insects. Lisa Ostly, whose father was identified at the funeral home, sat through the entire three-hour hearing and expressed, "It just brings all the grief back. But I owe it to my dad to see everything that I can see, to know and try to understand what happened." The once-white/cream-colored floor of the funeral home had turned brown and red from bodily fluids, requiring investigators to place cardboard throughout the building to prevent slipping. Insects were pervasive, making some rooms appear as if the carpet was black with brown patches. Shockingly, alongside the bodies and other items such as insect repellent, fans, and cleaning supplies, investigators discovered multiple bags of Quikrete concrete mix. This discovery led many family members to suspect that the ashes they received were actually concrete. Agent Cohen confirmed that the Hallfords had purchased over 660 pounds of Quikrete from Home Depot, as indicated in their bank records. Agent Cohen also revealed that the issues extended beyond failed cremations. The funeral home had been tasked with burying a veteran at the Pikes Peak National Cemetery, but when the veteran's casket was exhumed, investigators found the remains of a woman wrapped in plastic bags and duct tape inside. Disturbing texts exchanged between Carie and her husband, Jon Hallford, were presented during the hearing. In these texts, they casually discussed the bodies at Penrose Funeral Home. One text from Jon mentioned, "I want to take a shower… While I was making a transfer, I got people juice on me…," followed by a discussion about his burger order in the same text, a juxtaposition that family members found inhumane. Surveillance footage reviewed by Agent Cohen showed the couple arriving at the funeral home in September 2023, with Jon bringing at least four plastic bags presumed to contain bodies on a cart. Text messages between the couple further revealed financial troubles and discussions about the growing issues at Penrose Funeral Home. The shocking revelations from the court hearing shed light on the disturbing conditions and practices at the Return to Nature Funeral Home, leaving the community and the victims' families in disbelief and mourning. The legal proceedings continue as authorities seek justice for the victims and accountability for those responsible. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

eBay, the e-commerce giant, has been ordered to pay a $3 million fine to settle criminal charges linked to a disturbing harassment campaign against a Massachusetts couple. The charges include stalking through interstate travel, stalking through electronic communications, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice. The couple was targeted due to their online newsletter's critical coverage of eBay in 2019.    The U.S. Department of Justice announced that eBay entered into a deferred prosecution agreement, admitting to its criminal conduct. In addition to the $3 million criminal penalty, eBay is required to retain an independent corporate compliance monitor for three years and make substantial improvements to its compliance program.    "eBay engaged in absolutely horrific, criminal conduct. The company's employees and contractors involved in this campaign put the victims through pure hell, in a petrifying campaign aimed at silencing their reporting and protecting the eBay brand," stated Acting U.S. Attorney Joshua S. Levy.    The victims, identified as Ina and David Steiner, co-founded EcommerceBytes, a website that reported on e-commerce companies, including eBay. The harassment campaign began after Ina wrote an article about eBay suing Amazon for stealing its sellers. Following this article, eBay's then-CEO, Devin Wenig, allegedly sent a message stating, "If we are ever going to take her down... now is the time." Jim Baugh, eBay's former Senior Director of Safety and Security, referred to Ina as a "biased troll who needs to get BURNED DOWN."    The harassment campaign against the Steiners involved disturbing deliveries to their home, including a book on surviving the death of a spouse, a bloody pig mask, a fetal pig, a funeral wreath, live spiders, and cockroaches. It also included private messages criticizing the newsletter's content, surveillance, and the installation of a GPS tracking device on their car. Craigslist posts inviting the public for sexual encounters at the couple's home were part of the harassment.    After the victims contacted local police, Baugh made false statements and deleted digital evidence related to the campaign. Baugh, described as the ringleader, was sentenced to 57 months in prison in September 2022, and other former eBay employees or contractors received sentences ranging from 12 to 18 months in prison.    In a statement, the Steiners emphasized the damaging impact of eBay's actions on them emotionally, psychologically, physically, reputationally, and financially. They also filed a civil lawsuit against eBay and its former employees.    eBay's current CEO, Jamie Iannone, expressed the company's responsibility for the misconduct of its former employees and its commitment to upholding high standards of conduct and ethics. "eBay remains committed to making things right with the Steiners," Iannone stated.    This settlement marks a significant development in a disturbing case of corporate harassment and misconduct, highlighting the legal consequences faced by a major company for its employees' criminal actions.

Accused Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann faces new charges after DNA evidence linked him to the notorious "Gilgo Beach Four" murders. In an indictment unsealed in Suffolk County court, Heuermann, 60, was charged with the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, one of the victims whose remains were discovered along the Sound Shore in 2010. These murders had remained unsolved for 13 years.    The breakthrough in the case came as investigators connected Brainard-Barnes' murder to Heuermann through DNA evidence. Specifically, a female hair found on the victim's body was matched to samples collected from Heuermann's wife, Asa Ellerup, and their 26-year-old daughter, Victoria. Remarkably, both women were out of town when all four of the murders took place, including the time of Brainard-Barnes' death in Atlantic City, as detailed in the indictment.    Prosecutors revealed disturbing details about Heuermann's alleged activities. He reportedly texted escorts while his wife and children were away, engaging in sick online searches such as "Very skinny white teen tied up porn," "tied up fat girl porn," "medieval torture of women," and "how I was raped audio." Investigators also discovered a collection of violent, bondage, and torture pornography on Heuermann's electronic devices. Furthermore, they found that he had used his computer to contact escorts, using the names "Andy" or "Andrew," which correspond to his middle name.    One of the escorts allegedly received a text message from Heuermann on March 1, 2020, stating, "Hi, I saw your ad and wanted to see if we could set something up later." This chilling exchange occurred as the escort asked if the following day would work, to which Heuermann responded, "I am working all day. I was free today; my wife is out for the day… working Monday."    While Rex Heuermann pleaded not guilty to these new charges, his wife, Asa Ellerup, and daughter, Victoria Heuermann, were present at the arraignment but did not address reporters.    Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney had previously identified Rex Heuermann as the primary suspect in the death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes. He had expressed that his office was close to linking Heuermann to her case.    Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, was the first of the "Gilgo Four" to disappear on July 9, 2007. Her body was later discovered on December 13, 2010, and she was reportedly bound with a belt stamped with the initials "WH," which investigators have suggested may have belonged to Heuermann's late grandfather, William Heuermann.    The "Gilgo Four" case involved the discovery of more than ten sets of human remains along Ocean Parkway between December 2010 and April 2011. Three other victims who worked as escorts, Amber Lynn Costello, Melissa Barthelemy, and Megan Waterman, became known as the "Gilgo Four."    As this shocking case unfolds, investigators continue their efforts to seek justice for the victims and their families, as well as to provide answers in a case that has haunted Long Island for over a decade.

A shocking case has emerged in Pennsylvania, where a 20-year-old woman, Alesia Owens, has been arrested in connection with the tragic death of her boyfriend's 1-year-old daughter, Iris Alfera. Prosecutors have charged Owens with multiple offenses, including criminal homicide, alleging that she poisoned the young girl with household items. Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry made the announcement regarding the arrest.    The incident dates back to June 2023 when emergency responders were called to the home of Iris' father in New Castle, located northeast of Pittsburgh. At that time, Iris lived with her father and Alesia Owens. Responders found the 1-year-old child unresponsive. Iris was immediately transported to a local hospital for medical attention and subsequently airlifted to UPMC Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. Tragically, she passed away on June 29, 2023.    The cause of Iris' death was determined through an autopsy conducted by medical examiners. The examination revealed that she succumbed to organ failure caused by acetone poisoning, a devastating revelation.    Disturbingly, investigators from the New Castle Police Department uncovered evidence suggesting that Alesia Owens had researched household products with fatal potential for children in the months leading up to the tragic incident. According to the attorney general's office, Owens conducted numerous online searches between February and June, specifically related to the circumstances of the toddler's death.    These searches allegedly included inquiries about household products that could prove deadly to a child, such as water beads, batteries, and nail polish. Owens' online queries also featured phrases like "beauty products that are poisonous to kids" and "medications leading to accidental poisoning deaths in children."    Furthermore, it has come to light that Iris Alfera had been hospitalized several months before her untimely demise. During this previous hospitalization, she had ingested several harmful objects, including approximately 20 water beads, batteries, and a metal screw. Although Lawrence County Children and Youth Services were alerted following this incident, no charges were initially filed, as reported by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.    Currently, Alesia Owens is being held at the Owens County Jail, having been denied bail. The circumstances surrounding this case are undeniably tragic and heart-wrenching, leaving the community in shock. Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry expressed her sentiments, stating, "The details of this case are heartbreaking. It is hard to fathom someone taking deliberate steps to harm a completely helpless child, then mislead investigators about what happened."    As this deeply distressing case unfolds, many are left grappling with the unsettling nature of the allegations against Alesia Owens and the profound loss of young Iris Alfera. Prosecutors will continue their efforts to seek justice for the innocent child, and the community watches closely as the legal proceedings progress.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a surprising development, the attorney representing Chad Daybell, a man charged with three counts of murder and conspiracy, has requested to withdraw from his case. Chad Daybell is accused of playing a role in the deaths of his first wife, Tammy Daybell, and aiding convicted murderer Lori Vallow in the killing of her two children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan. Additionally, he faces two counts of insurance fraud related to his wife's murder.    Prosecutors assert that Daybell and Vallow conspired to commit these gruesome crimes in late 2019, just before their marriage in Hawaii. The couple reportedly met at one of Chad Daybell's religious conferences and bonded over shared beliefs in a doomsday cult, which investigators believe played a central role in the tragic events.    The motion to withdraw from Chad Daybell's case was filed by his attorney, John Prior, who has been representing him since 2021. Prior's motion stated that the case, which involves prosecutors seeking the death penalty, would demand his continuous and extensive efforts "around the clock, more than full-time for more than four months without compensation and without the assistance of any other counsel."    "Mr. Daybell cannot pay for counsel's continued services, and Mr. Daybell seeks the appointment of two capital qualified attorneys to represent him in this matter," read the motion, as obtained by East Idaho News.    It's worth noting that the court had previously declared Chad Daybell indigent, indicating his inability to afford legal representation and entitling him to court-appointed counsel. In his filing, John Prior mentioned that he had discussed this decision with Chad Daybell and requested the court to appoint two qualified public defenders to handle his case.    John Prior also reached out to an attorney willing to take over Chad Daybell's case; however, the request to be qualified as a public defender in a case involving the death penalty has not yet been approved by the Public Defense Commission. Idaho currently has only 13 public defenders qualified to lead capital punishment cases, according to the commission's roster.    "The time for him to be of any assistance for me in preparing for this case is long gone," Prior wrote.    Chad Daybell's trial is scheduled to commence in April in Ada County, but it remains uncertain whether these recent developments might lead to delays in the proceedings.    Last year, Lori Vallow was found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and grand theft in connection with the deaths of her two youngest children. She was also convicted of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in the death of Chad Daybell's first wife. Vallow was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on July 31. She is facing separate charges in Arizona related to conspiracy to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and conspiracy to murder her niece's estranged husband, Brandon Boudreaux.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A chilling twist in a decades-old cold case has shocked the community, as a father who was once captured on film discovering his 5-year-old son's lifeless body is now facing murder charges. Victor Turner and his wife, Megan Turner, were arrested in Cross Hill by the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office in connection to the death of Justin Turner.    In an emotional press conference, Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis revealed that Victor Turner stands accused of strangling his own son in the early hours of March 3, 1989. On that fateful day, deputies responded to the Turner family's residence in Moncks Corner after Victor and Megan Turner reported not seeing Justin leaving for or returning from school.   According to a statement from the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office in 2019, Justin had intended to catch the school bus with a neighbor but never made it onto the bus that morning. Megan Turner was in the shower at the time and did not accompany him outside.   The ensuing search for Justin lasted two agonizing days and concluded when Victor Turner made a grim discovery inside the family's camper, parked outside their home. Archival news footage from the search captured the heart-wrenching moment when Victor, peering into the camper, broke into tears, and exclaimed, "My son's in there."   However, an arrest warrant, as reported by Charleston's WCSC, alleges a disturbing twist. Instead of immediately checking for signs of life, Victor Turner backed out of the camper. Investigators have accused the couple of having precise knowledge of where Justin's body was, describing their behavior during the search as "deliberate" and "obvious."   Sheriff Lewis added that the crime scene appeared to have been staged when deputies first arrived.   Megan Turner, known as Pamela Turner at the time, had previously been arrested in connection to Justin's disappearance. However, her case was dismissed without prejudice due to a lack of evidence. Following this, she changed her name, and the Turners relocated to an undisclosed location, effectively disappearing from the radar.   Decades passed before local cold case investigators decided to re-examine the tragic case in April 2021. Utilizing cutting-edge forensic technology and pursuing new leads, they uncovered crucial evidence shedding light on Justin's fate.   Forensic analysis and autopsy results revealed that Justin's body had been placed inside the Turners' camper shortly after his death. Furthermore, a ligature discovered at their home matched the wounds around Justin's neck, as reported by WCSC.   The public defenders' office in Berkeley County and the attorneys representing the Turners have not yet responded to requests for comments. This shocking development in a long-dormant case has sent shockwaves through the community, reopening old wounds and raising new questions about what truly transpired on that tragic day in 1989. As the legal proceedings unfold, many await justice for Justin Turner and answers to the mysteries that have haunted this case for decades. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The U.S. Justice Department has announced its intent to seek the death penalty for Payton Gendron, the individual responsible for a racially motivated shooting that claimed the lives of 10 people at a Tops Supermarket in Buffalo, New York, in May 2022. This decision marks a significant development in a case that has gripped the nation.    Federal prosecutors filed a court document outlining their rationale for pursuing the death penalty, stating, "United States believes the circumstances in Counts 11-20 of the Indictment are such that, in the event of a conviction, a sentence of death is justified." Gendron had previously signaled a willingness to plead guilty to federal charges if the death penalty were off the table.    The indictment against Gendron included 27 counts, with 14 violations of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, encompassing hate crimes resulting in death, attempts to kill injured individuals, and attempted killings of additional Black individuals in and around the supermarket. In addition to these hate crime charges, Gendron faced 13 firearms offenses.    The motivations behind the attack were deeply rooted in racist ideology, as Gendron subscribed to a far-right conspiracy known as replacement theory. His goal was to "inspire others to commit similar attacks," as stated in a criminal complaint. The rifle used in the shooting bore markings with phrases such as "here's your reparations" and "the great replacement."    The decision to seek the death penalty by the Justice Department follows over a year of deliberations. Attorney General Merrick Garland had previously expressed concerns about the death penalty, and President Joe Biden had campaigned on abolishing it at the federal level. However, in the absence of a formal policy, the DOJ had engaged in discussions regarding a "worst-of-the-worst" threshold for cases involving extreme acts of hate-fueled violence.    In response to the DOJ's announcement, the defense team expressed deep disappointment. Sonya Zoghlin, an assistant federal defender, conveyed their frustration, suggesting that the government's efforts could be better spent addressing the underlying issues that facilitated the crime, including easy access to deadly weapons and the failure of social media companies to moderate hateful rhetoric online.    Gendron had previously faced sentencing on state charges, resulting in a life imprisonment without parole sentence in February 2023. During that sentencing hearing, Gendron briefly offered an apology, acknowledging his actions and the pain he caused. He pleaded guilty to 15 charges, including domestic terrorism motivated by hate, murder, and attempted murder.    While the pursuit of the death penalty has been met with mixed reactions, some family members of the victims welcomed the decision. Mark Talley, the son of shooting victim Geraldine Talley, expressed his desire to see Gendron suffer and stated, "As long as I'm alive, I wanna be able to see him suffer." Others in the community echoed the sentiment that the death penalty should serve as a deterrent against such heinous crimes.    Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul also expressed support for the DOJ's decision, highlighting the gravity of the attack and its impact on the community. The next court date in the case is scheduled for February 2, where the legal proceedings will continue to unfold. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Natalia Grace Barnett, widely recognized for her involvement in the controversial adoption case often likened to the movie "Orphan," has broken her silence after a gag order expired during legal proceedings. Natalia recently made her first public appearance in the Investigative Discovery docuseries “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks." Following this, she has taken to GoFundMe, seeking support for a fresh start in life.    The fundraiser, under the name "Natalyah Mans," was launched on GoFundMe with a goal of $20,000. As of the latest update, the fundraiser has received an overwhelming response, securing $12,128 towards its objective from donors across the United States. Many supporters have left comments of encouragement and solidarity alongside their donations.    Natalia Grace Barnett, known by the name Nataliah Mans, was originally adopted by the Barnett family of Indiana in 2010. Her adoption and background became the center of a highly publicized controversy when allegations emerged that she might not be the age initially claimed. A DNA test recently confirmed that Natalia was indeed a child when she was adopted, putting an end to the long-standing disputes.    The case gained substantial media attention as the Barnetts faced legal battles and accusations of abandonment. Charges against them, including abandonment, were eventually dismissed or resolved. Despite the legal developments, Natalia found herself in the spotlight of pop culture, leading to her recent public statements.    In the GoFundMe campaign, Natalia shares her aspirations for the future, including plans to establish her own photography business. She expressed her desire to move forward as an adult and overcome the challenges in her life. Additionally, Natalia revealed that she has Diastrophic Dysplasia, a rare form of dwarfism that requires extensive spinal and leg surgeries to prevent paralysis and incontinence.    The medical procedures essential for her well-being come with a significant financial burden, estimated to exceed $500,000, and are not covered by insurance. Natalia's GoFundMe seeks to alleviate some of this financial strain. The campaign's summary states that achieving the initial goal will allow her to secure a deposit for her own place and initiate her photography business, providing a source of income to save for the costly treatments.    Since the launch of the fundraiser, Natalia has received 283 donations and 27 words of support. Messages from supporters have conveyed empathy and encouragement, acknowledging the hardships she has faced and expressing hope for her future.    While it remains unconfirmed, online fans have speculated that Natalia may make an appearance in a potential third installment of the "Curious Case of Natalia Grace" series, considering the unresolved nature of the story in the previous season.    As the fundraiser continues to gain traction, Natalia Grace Barnett is receiving significant support from well-wishers who hope to see her embark on a new chapter in her life, overcoming past challenges and fulfilling her aspirations.

A tragic incident unfolded in a Texas home as a retired judge and his wife were found dead from shotgun blasts, leading to the arrest of their adult son, who has been charged with capital murder. The motive behind this shocking act is rooted in a refusal to take a sleeping aid.    The victims have been identified as former Williamson County Judge Alfred “Burt” Carnes and his wife, Susan Carnes, both 74 years old. Their son, Seth Carnes, 45, is now in custody, facing serious charges related to their deaths.    According to an arrest affidavit cited by Fox 7 Austin, Seth Carnes admitted to the shooting, stating that he was aware he had used a Remington 870 shotgun kept on the nightstand in his parents' converted garage, where he lived. The alleged motive behind this heinous act was Seth's refusal to take a sleeping pill, which led to a confrontation with his mother, Susan Carnes.    Reportedly, Seth Carnes believed that his mother was attempting to administer the sleeping pill forcibly, a situation he vehemently opposed. The affidavit quoted him as saying that there was no other reason for him to shoot his mother except for this dispute. When questioned about why he also shot his father, Seth allegedly responded, "I've just been looking for something and figured I would finish the job."    The tragic incident came to light shortly before midnight when Seth Carnes' daughter called 911, reporting that her grandfather had been shot. Deputies from the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office swiftly arrived at the Carnes family's residence outside Georgetown, Texas. Seth Carnes voluntarily surrendered, walking out of the house while holding a coffee mug.    Inside the residence, officers discovered Alfred Carnes' lifeless body in the living room, alongside a shotgun and a spent shell in the kitchen area. Susan Carnes' body was found in her son's bedroom.    The preliminary investigation points to a disagreement within the family that escalated into violence, ultimately resulting in the tragic deaths of Alfred and Susan Carnes. The sheriff's office characterized the incident as a case of family violence leading to death.    Alfred Carnes, a retired judge, came from a family with a strong law enforcement background, including a Texas Ranger and a Border Patrol agent. He served 24 years on the bench and retired from the 368th District Court in 2013.    Susan Carnes, a retired elementary school teacher, was described as a "pillar of the community" by a family friend. The devastating incident has had a profound impact on the community, especially considering Alfred 'Burt' Carnes' esteemed position as a retired District Judge.    Commander John Foster of the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office expressed sympathy for the affected friends and family, stating, "This deeply distressing incident has sent shockwaves through our community, particularly considering Alfred ‘Burt’ Carnes’ esteemed position as a retired District Judge. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family affected by this heartbreaking event."    Seth Carnes is currently held in the Williamson County Jail without bond. In Texas, capital murder is a serious charge that carries the potential penalties of life in prison or the death penalty. As the investigation and legal proceedings continue, the community mourns the loss of two individuals who were deeply ingrained in the fabric of their community.

Jennifer Dulos, a Connecticut mother of five who went missing in May 2019, has been declared legally dead. The news comes just days before the trial of Michelle Troconis, the former girlfriend of Jennifer's estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, who is facing charges related to Jennifer's disappearance and presumed murder.    Jennifer Dulos was last seen on May 24, 2019, in New Canaan, Connecticut, after dropping her five children off at school. Although her body was never found, evidence of her blood in her garage and other locations led the state medical examiner to classify the case as a "homicide of violence." Jennifer was in the midst of a contentious divorce and a bitter custody battle when she vanished.    Authorities alleged that Fotis Dulos, her estranged husband, was responsible for her disappearance and subsequent presumed murder. They further asserted that Michelle Troconis, his then-girlfriend, conspired with him, created an alibi, assisted in cleaning up after the crime, and helped dispose of evidence.    Fotis Dulos was charged in January 2020 with felony murder and kidnapping in connection to his wife's disappearance. Tragically, he died by suicide at his home while free on bail a few weeks later. Meanwhile, Michelle Troconis faced charges of conspiracy to commit murder, tampering with physical evidence, and hindering prosecution. Her trial, which has faced numerous delays, is now set to commence.    Last October, a probate judge granted a request by Gloria Farber, Jennifer Dulos' 88-year-old mother and guardian of her children, to declare Jennifer legally dead to protect the family's assets. While Connecticut state statutes typically presume death after seven years of being missing, the judge concluded that Jennifer's case was an exception, stating that the "inescapable conclusion" is that Jennifer Dulos is dead.    At the time of her disappearance, Michelle Troconis was residing in the Farmington home that Jennifer and Fotis Dulos had once shared before Jennifer moved with their children to New Canaan and initiated divorce proceedings. Jennifer had also sought an emergency custody order, expressing her concerns for her family's safety, believing that Fotis was capable of taking their children and disappearing.    Despite court orders granting Fotis visitation with the children, he defied these orders by allowing Troconis and her daughter to be present during their meetings. This led one judge to criticize Fotis for exposing the children to Troconis and her daughter, disregarding prior court orders and the impact of his actions on the children.    Michelle Troconis has maintained her innocence and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Her attorney, Jon Schoenhorn, previously described her belief that the Duloses' divorce was "amicable" when she moved in with Fotis.    During the investigation, police stated that Michelle Troconis confirmed being a passenger in Fotis Dulos' truck, which was seen in surveillance videos showing him disposing of plastic garbage bags in several trash receptacles in Hartford on the evening Jennifer Dulos disappeared. Troconis claimed she was "on the phone" and not paying attention to Fotis Dulos' actions during that time.    In those garbage bags, investigators found numerous items soaked in Jennifer Dulos' blood, including clothing, cleaning supplies, and zip ties. DNA evidence linked Fotis Dulos to these bags, tape, and a glove, while Troconis' DNA was found on one of the bags. Police also noted that Fotis and Troconis had spent hours shuttling between their home and another property, claiming to be cleaning, on the same day.    Kent Mawhinney, a longtime friend and former attorney of Fotis Dulos, is also facing charges related to Jennifer Dulos' disappearance. He, too, has pleaded not guilty and may be called to testify for the prosecution during Troconis' trial.    As the trial begins, Jennifer Dulos' family and friends have issued a statement, emphasizing the importance of focusing on Jennifer, who left behind five children. They seek accountability and answers in a case that has garnered significant attention. The trial is anticipated to last between six to eight weeks as the legal proceedings unfold.

Donna Adelson, who faces charges in connection with the 2014 murder of her former son-in-law, Dan Markel, has taken a significant step in her legal defense by hiring a new team of attorneys. Her choice of legal representation has raised eyebrows, as it includes the attorney who defended her son Charlie Adelson during his trial.    According to documents posted by the Leon County Clerk, Donna Adelson has enlisted the services of Daniel Rashbaum, the attorney who led her son Charlie Adelson's defense, and Tallahassee-based attorney Alex Morris. This move marks a significant development in her legal battle as she faces serious charges of murder, conspiracy, and solicitation in the high-profile case.    The substitution of counsel motion filed by Rashbaum and Morris was approved by Circuit Judge Stephen Everett, paving the way for them to replace Donna Adelson's previous attorney, Marissel Descalzo of Miami. This decision comes as the case against Donna Adelson unfolds and enters a critical phase.    A case management hearing, originally scheduled for a recent date, had to be canceled due to severe weather conditions that prompted the closure of all courts in the Second Circuit. A new date for the hearing has not yet been set, but it remains an important event in the legal proceedings.    Donna Adelson's legal team is not only advocating for her but also making a strong statement about her innocence. Attorney Alex Morris emphasized that Donna Adelson is a mother, grandmother, and wife who vehemently denies any involvement in the alleged criminal conspiracy to kill Dan Markel.    Charlie Adelson, her son, was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for his role in the murder-for-hire plot. He had been convicted of hiring hitmen to carry out the murder of Dan Markel, who was embroiled in a contentious custody battle with Charlie's sister, Wendi Adelson.    In response to the charges against Donna Adelson, Morris stated, "Donna Adelson had absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Markel’s homicide, and the evidence demonstrates this. The State’s efforts to prosecute Mrs. Adelson are not supported by the evidence. We look forward to getting this matter to trial as quickly as possible in the coming months."    The case management hearing that was canceled due to adverse weather conditions has been rescheduled for January 30. Donna Adelson's legal team is determined to pursue her defense vigorously and work towards clearing her name in the ongoing legal battle.    Donna Adelson is the latest individual to face charges related to Dan Markel's murder, with four others, including her son Charlie, already convicted and sentenced to prison. The case continues to garner significant attention as it unfolds in the courtroom, with legal proceedings expected to intensify in the coming months. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Rebecca "Becky" Hill, the Colleton County Clerk of Court who gained notoriety during the high-profile trial of former-lawyer Alex Murdaugh, finds herself embroiled in a web of legal challenges and controversy as two separate investigations by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) come to light.    The first investigation revolves around Hill's alleged improper interactions with the jury during Alex Murdaugh's trial for the murder of his wife, Maggie, and son Paul in early 2023. This development comes as a stunning turn of events for Hill, who initially garnered admiration for her charm, humor, and composure during the six-week trial that drew international attention to Walterboro, South Carolina.    The second investigation centers on allegations that Hill utilized her elected position for personal gain, further complicating her legal predicament.    The controversy surrounding Hill began to escalate in early September, following the release of her insider memoir about the Murdaugh trial, titled "Behind the Doors of Justice." Murdaugh's defense attorneys raised concerns in court filings, alleging that Hill had inappropriately influenced jurors, potentially compromising the integrity of the trial.    Among the accusations were claims that Hill engaged in private conversations with jurors, denied them permission to take smoke breaks during deliberations, and instructed them "not to be fooled" by evidence presented by the defense team. Additionally, the defense contended that Hill had plotted to remove a juror she believed was not inclined to deliver a guilty verdict. These actions, the defense asserted, were aimed at enhancing the sales of a book Hill intended to co-author about the trial with Neil Gordon.    In response to the jury tampering allegations, Hill vehemently denied any wrongdoing and submitted a sworn affidavit refuting more than two dozen accusations outlined in the defense's motion. She enlisted the legal representation of State Rep. Justin Bamberg and former assistant U.S. attorney Will Lewis to navigate the legal challenges.    However, Hill's troubles continued to mount. In November, her son, Jeffrey Hill, who served as Colleton County's technology director, was arrested and charged with wiretapping. The South Carolina Attorney General's Office assumed jurisdiction over the case, and Jeffrey Hill was subsequently terminated from his employment.    The release of a trove of Hill's emails just before Christmas added further complexity to the situation. Among these emails, co-author Neil Gordon discovered evidence of plagiarism, as Hill had lifted parts of the introduction of her book from a BBC article mistakenly sent to her. In response, Gordon pledged to donate a portion of his book profits to charity, and the publication of the book was halted.    With the looming three-day court hearing beginning on January 29, where allegations of jury tampering will be aired, Hill faces significant credibility challenges. Lawyers familiar with the case have suggested the possibility that Hill may invoke her Fifth Amendment right not to testify. This series of legal and ethical challenges has cast a shadow over Hill's previously admired reputation and brought her to the forefront of the ongoing legal saga surrounding Alex Murdaugh.

In a surprising turn of events, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, whose life story gained notoriety through the documentary "Mommy Dead and Dearest," has found love and tied the knot with pen pal Ryan Anderson. The couple's unique love story has captured the attention of many, shedding light on their journey from correspondence to marriage.    Ryan Anderson, a 37-year-old special education teacher from Louisiana, first connected with Gypsy while she was serving time in prison for conspiring to murder her abusive mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. Anderson revealed during an exclusive interview with PEOPLE that their initial contact was part of a conversation with a hospital co-worker who had taken an interest in writing to Joseph Allen Maldonado, famously known as "Joe Exotic" from the Netflix hit show "Tiger King."    Reflecting on that time, Anderson said, "Tiger King was really popular at the time. I said, 'I'll tell you what, if you write him, I'll write Gypsy Rose Blanchard. I never thought she'd be my wife."    While Anderson had watched "Mommy Dead and Dearest," a documentary about Gypsy's ordeal, he made sure to also watch "The Act," a Hulu series from 2019 based on Gypsy's life, referencing its ending in his letter to her. Anderson poured his heart out in the letter, sharing personal details about himself.    "I remember telling her what her story meant to me, and on the second page, I just let her have it," Anderson stated. Gypsy later explained that one reason she chose to respond was because Anderson hailed from Louisiana, her original home state, adding a touch of familiarity.    Their correspondence began in May 2020 through exchanged emails, eventually leading to their first meeting in June 2021. Just over a year later, on July 21, 2022, the couple exchanged vows in a small prison ceremony at the Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri, where Gypsy had spent more than eight years.    Gypsy Rose Blanchard had previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2016 for her involvement in the conspiracy to kill her mother, while her then-boyfriend, Nicholas "Nick" Godejohn, carried out the killing. Godejohn was found guilty of first-degree murder and armed criminal action, receiving a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole, along with an additional 25 years.    Now, as they navigate married life after Gypsy's release from prison on December 28, 2023, the couple is adjusting to newfound public attention. Anderson shared their approach, saying, "Now it’s kind of like, ‘Oh, you’re in the public eye now — go out there and experience it.’" Despite the challenges of the spotlight, their deep love for each other is evident.    Gypsy expressed her feelings for Anderson, stating, "We’re in love." The couple is looking forward to a second wedding ceremony where friends and family can attend, allowing them to celebrate their love surrounded by their loved ones.    As the couple continues their journey together, their story serves as a reminder that love can be found in unexpected places, even amidst challenging circumstances and personal hardships.

After more than a decade of mystery surrounding a gruesome discovery in a California vineyard, authorities have finally identified the decapitated woman found posed in a "sexual manner" in 2011 as 64-year-old Ada Beth Kaplan. The case, initially perplexing investigators, has taken a significant step forward with the identification, though many questions remain unanswered.    Ada Beth Kaplan's lifeless body was discovered in March 2011 in a horrifying scene that baffled law enforcement. Efforts to identify her were unsuccessful at the time, and authorities classified her death as a homicide while struggling to determine the exact cause.    Kaplan's body had been found in a disturbing state, with her head and thumbs missing, making it virtually impossible to identify her. The condition in which her body was left shocked those who came across the scene, with former Kern County Sheriff’s Department official Ray Pruitt describing it as if someone had posed a mannequin in a provocative manner.    "The body was completely nude and lying prone on its back on the dirt roadway, and it appeared that the body had been posed by whoever left the body there," Pruitt stated, emphasizing the eerie nature of the crime scene.    For nearly a decade, the case remained cold and unsolved, leaving authorities and the community with unanswered questions. However, in 2020, a renewed effort to crack the case began when the Kern County Medical Examiner’s Office teamed up with the DNA Doe Project. This collaboration led to a painstaking investigation that involved tracing back eight generations of Kaplan's ancestors, eventually leading to her identification.    Kaplan's family history played a pivotal role in the identification process, with three of her four grandparents being immigrants. The investigation delved into Eastern European records and enlisted the help of Jewish genealogy experts to piece together her lineage, finally revealing her identity.    In July, two potential family members were located, and their DNA samples were used to make the match that positively identified Kaplan, shedding light on her identity and bringing her story to the forefront after years of anonymity.    However, the revelation that Kaplan was the decapitated woman found in the vineyard presented yet another mystery. Authorities learned that she was never reported missing, adding to the enigma surrounding the case.    Despite the breakthrough in identifying the victim, critical details such as the identity of the perpetrator and the circumstances surrounding Kaplan's death remain unknown. The case is still under investigation, with law enforcement agencies in Kern County committed to uncovering the truth behind this gruesome and perplexing crime.    As authorities continue their efforts to solve this decade-old mystery, the identification of Ada Beth Kaplan marks a significant step forward. It is a testament to the dedication and collaboration of those involved in seeking justice for the victim, though the full story of what happened in that California vineyard in 2011 remains to be uncovered.

A tragic case of child abuse and murder has concluded with the sentencing of 28-year-old Mary Yoder to 42 years in a state correctional facility for her role in the torture and killing of her 4-year-old son, Judah Morgan. The heartbreaking incident occurred in 2021, and it has sent shockwaves through the community and the nation.    LaPorte County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Alevizos handed down the sentence on Friday, marking a grim chapter in a case that has horrified the public. Yoder had previously pleaded guilty to one count of neglect resulting in the death of a dependent and one count of domestic battery to a child. These charges were linked to the abuse suffered by Judah's younger sibling, further emphasizing the severity of the situation.    The child's father, Alan Morgan, had earlier pleaded guilty in 2022 to multiple felonies, including murder and battery, directly related to Judah's death. He received a 70-year prison sentence for his actions.    As part of her plea agreement with prosecutors, Mary Yoder admitted to physically and emotionally abusing both Judah and her other child. She also confessed to failing to intervene or contact authorities regarding her husband, who subjected Judah to torturous punishments regularly. During Friday's hearing, Yoder expressed remorse and stated that she missed her "sweet boy." However, Judge Alevizos reacted strongly, displaying a photo of Judah's autopsy and remarking, "Look at him. Unbelievable."    The horrific events came to light when authorities responded to a 911 call at Yoder and Morgan's rural home at around 3 a.m. on October 11, 2021. They found Judah's bruised and bloodied naked body wrapped in a blanket inside a bedroom. Yoder had made the call, informing the dispatcher that Morgan had become violent and harmed Judah.    Evidence presented at Alan Morgan's trial revealed a pattern of systematic abuse inflicted on Judah. The father frequently physically and emotionally abused his son, often locking him in a dark basement, naked, for extended periods due to toilet training issues. He also withheld food and water from the child and used duct tape to silence him. Surveillance footage from inside the home showed disturbing incidents of physical violence, with Morgan punching Judah multiple times.    Judah ultimately succumbed to blunt force trauma to the head, resulting in massive bleeding on his brain, as determined by an autopsy. Medical professionals described his injuries as among the most severe cases of blunt force trauma they had ever seen.    Inside the family's home, investigators discovered a basement with no working lights, containing a toddler potty training toilet, training pants, and a single blanket. The basement was covered in feces and remnants of torn duct tape, providing a harrowing glimpse into the suffering Judah endured.    Before the sentencing, Jenna Hullett, Judah's second cousin and foster mother, addressed the court, expressing her deep anger towards Mary Yoder. She had been forced to give up custody of Judah only months before his tragic death and had repeatedly reached out to Yoder, seeking help and intervention, which went unanswered.    This heart-wrenching case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of reporting child abuse and neglect, and the dire consequences that can result when such pleas for help go unheeded. The sentencing of Mary Yoder and Alan Morgan represents a form of justice for young Judah Morgan, but it also underscores the need for greater awareness and action to protect vulnerable children from abuse and harm.

Shocking revelations have emerged in the case of Eric Richins, a Utah man allegedly poisoned to death by his wife, Kouri Richins, in March 2022. Unsealed search warrants have shed new light on the circumstances surrounding Eric's tragic demise, uncovering disturbing details about the events leading up to his death.    Kouri Richins, 33, faces grave charges of aggravated murder and drug possession after she was accused of killing her husband, Eric, with illicit fentanyl in their Kamas, Utah, residence. Eric, who had been married to Kouri for nine years and shared three children with her, tragically lost his life on March 3, 2022.    The recently unsealed search warrants reveal unsettling findings that raise questions about the circumstances of Eric's death. According to a Summit County detective's report, it was discovered that Eric had a small amount of Quetiapine (brand name SEROQUEL) in his stomach contents at the time of his death. The alarming aspect was that Eric did not possess a prescription for Quetiapine, but his wife did, and the pills were readily available in their home.  Quetiapine is classified as an antipsychotic medication used to treat various mental health conditions, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It acts by balancing the levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain. However, the medication is known to carry a range of potentially dangerous side effects, such as hyperglycemia, fever, stroke, pain, seizures, and more.    Prosecutors in the case have suggested that Eric's murder may have been financially motivated, revealing a troubling backdrop to the tragic events. According to court documents, the couple had been embroiled in financial disagreements, particularly related to Kouri's desire to acquire a $2 million mansion that was under construction at the time. Her plan was to purchase the property, renovate it, and then sell it for a profit.    However, Eric believed the mansion's price was exorbitant, a sentiment that his family conveyed to investigators. Additionally, Kouri had taken out four different life insurance policies on Eric's life between 2015 and 2017, totaling more than $1.9 million. Notably, on January 1, 2022, just months before Eric's tragic death, Kouri clandestinely altered the beneficiary of a $2 million life insurance policy, making herself the recipient without Eric's authorization.    Before his death, Eric had removed Kouri from his will and designated his sister as the new beneficiary, a move that suggested he had concerns about his safety. His family informed authorities that he had feared for his life, citing previous incidents where Kouri allegedly attempted to poison him, once several years ago in Greece and again on Valentine's Day 2022.    Following Eric's untimely death, Kouri authored a children's book titled "Are You With Me?" This book, listed on Amazon for $14.99, is described as "a must-read for any child who has experienced the pain of loss, and for parents who want to provide their children with the emotional support they need to heal and grow."    The unsealed search warrants have added a new layer of complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings in this high-profile case. Eric Richins' tragic death continues to be a subject of intense scrutiny, as investigators delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding his alleged poisoning and the subsequent legal actions against his wife, Kouri Richins.

A juror in the closely-watched 'Take Care of Maya' trial, which recently awarded the Kowalski family $260 million against Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital (JHACH), underwent questioning by Judge Hunter Carroll following allegations of misconduct by the hospital's defense team. After a thorough examination, the judge concluded that the juror did not violate any orders, and the $260 million verdict remains intact.    The controversy surrounding the trial stemmed from claims made by JHACH's attorneys, who accused the juror of engaging in improper conduct, including sharing case details with his wife. She was present at the trial and frequently posted her thoughts about the proceedings on social media. The hospital's lawyers argued that the juror's questions in court mirrored the content his wife shared online, suggesting that the couple was exchanging information, a breach of court rules.    However, during the questioning, the juror, identified as Paul Lengyel, refuted these allegations. When asked by Judge Carroll whether he had discussed the case with anyone, including his wife, Lengyel firmly responded, "No, I did not."    Additionally, the juror explained that his limited eyesight due to diabetes neuropathy prevented him from identifying individuals in the courtroom, including his wife. The judge, after considering the responses, determined that there was no evidence of juror misconduct.    The 'Take Care of Maya' trial revolved around allegations made by the Kowalski family against JHACH, claiming that the hospital's actions led to the suicide of family matriarch Beata Kowalski. The case arose from the court's order to shelter Maya Kowalski, the family's child, at JHACH while child abuse allegations were investigated. During this time, Maya was not allowed physical contact with her mother. Tragically, Beata Kowalski took her own life after 87 days without seeing her daughter.    The jury's verdict found JHACH guilty of falsely imprisoning Maya, fraudulent billing, causing severe emotional distress, and involving social worker Catherine Bedy in battering Maya, along with medical neglect by Dr. Sally Smith.    Attorneys for JHACH subsequently sought a new trial and filed multiple motions alleging juror misconduct and bias. Among the accusations were claims that the juror had lied on a jury questionnaire, had already formed an opinion before deliberations began, and used inappropriate symbols when taking notes about Dr. Sally Smith.    Judge Carroll acknowledged that while the defense had raised multiple concerns about the juror's conduct, there was insufficient evidence to warrant a new trial. The $260 million verdict, a significant victory for the Kowalski family, remains unchanged.    Attorneys for JHACH expressed their gratitude to the court for interviewing the jury foreman and reiterated their intention to pursue an appeal. They look forward to presenting their case to the Court of Appeals, indicating that this legal battle may continue.  In response, the Kowalski family's attorney, Greg Anderson, acknowledged the ongoing legal challenges but emphasized the finality of the jury's decision. He stated, "If the defense was given the ability, they would never have stopped digging. They would never stop peeling the onion with the juror, and that's just not the way the system operates." The 'Take Care of Maya' trial, which garnered significant attention due to its high-stakes nature and emotional impact, has left a lasting legal and moral impact, with both sides continuing to advocate for their respective positions in the pursuit of justice.

South African Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius, known for his inspirational journey as a double-amputee athlete, has been released on parole after serving nearly nine years of his 13-year and five-month prison sentence for the fatal shooting of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day in 2013.    The South African Department of Corrections made the announcement early Friday morning, confirming Pistorius' new status as a parolee. Pistorius was secretly moved from the Atteridgeville Correctional Center prison in Pretoria to a parole office before being released to his family. However, the exact time and location of his release were not disclosed.    Pistorius, who became eligible for early release after serving at least half his sentence and received parole approval in November, is expected to live initially at his uncle's mansion in an upscale Pretoria suburb. A police van and private security vehicles were seen outside the residence, highlighting the efforts to maintain privacy.    The Department of Corrections emphasized that Pistorius' parole details, including the time of release, would not be publicized to protect him from media attention that has followed him since the tragic incident more than a decade ago.    Under strict parole conditions, Pistorius will have limitations on leaving his home, a prohibition on alcohol consumption, mandatory participation in anger management and violence against women programs, and community service. He will also meet regularly with parole officials and be subject to unannounced visits. Additionally, Pistorius is banned from speaking to the media until the end of his sentence, and any breach of parole conditions could result in his return to jail.    South Africa does not employ monitoring devices like ankle bracelets for paroled offenders, but Pistorius will be closely monitored by a Department of Corrections official. He must inform the official of any significant life changes, such as seeking employment or moving to a different residence.    Reeva Steenkamp's mother, June Steenkamp, expressed her acceptance of Pistorius' parole, acknowledging it as part of South African law. She reflected on the absence of true justice, stating, "Has there been justice for Reeva? Has Oscar served enough time? There can never be justice if your loved one is never coming back, and no amount of time served will bring Reeva back."    June Steenkamp also reiterated her commitment to the Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp Foundation, dedicated to continuing her daughter's legacy.    Oscar Pistorius has maintained that he shot Reeva Steenkamp by mistake, believing she was an intruder in his bathroom. However, prosecutors argued that he intentionally killed his girlfriend during a late-night argument.    Before the tragic incident, Pistorius was celebrated as an inspiring role model, overcoming his disability to become a champion sprinter who competed in the 2012 London Olympics.    The reaction to Pistorius' parole has been relatively subdued in South Africa, in contrast to the initial public outrage that followed the killing. Advocates against violence towards women expressed hope for Pistorius' rehabilitation. Themba Masango, the secretary-general of Not In My Name International, commented, "We can only wish and hope Oscar Pistorius will come out a better human being. We tend to forget that there is a possibility where somebody can be rehabilitated."    As Oscar Pistorius embarks on his parole journey, South Africa will closely watch his adherence to the strict conditions imposed on him, while the tragic memory of Reeva Steenkamp remains in the hearts of many.

A Wisconsin couple, Brittany E. Hull, 31, and Tristan P. Hull, 38, both residents of Rib Mountain/Wausau, are facing severe charges of child neglect resulting in great bodily harm and child abuse causing great bodily harm after a shocking incident involving a malnourished 15-year-old girl.    The charges were filed on Thursday afternoon, following an investigation into the October 15 medical emergency at the Hulls' Rib Mountain residence. According to authorities, a deputy responded to a call that day and discovered an emergency medical technician performing CPR on the teenage girl inside an ambulance. Despite their efforts, the life-saving procedure lasted a harrowing 25 minutes.    Tristan Hull, who was present during the incident, told the deputy that the girl had consumed a protein shake and subsequently experienced breathing difficulties. Her condition deteriorated rapidly, and she became unresponsive. Brittany Hull was identified as the person with the girl during the medical emergency.    Shockingly, the girl, who had stopped growing for several years, was found to be just 4 feet tall and weighed a mere 58 pounds when taken to Marshfield Medical Center five days later. Hospital staff diagnosed her with severe dehydration, malnutrition, and organ failure. They ruled out any medical condition or self-inflicted harm, stating that her condition was primarily due to severe malnutrition.    Medical experts noted that the girl's weight was 32 pounds below the normal range for her age, and she was approximately 5 inches shorter than the average height for girls her age. A doctor attributed these conditions to extreme malnutrition.    Further investigation revealed that the girl had attended a local church's children's program for several years, and concerned church staff had observed her health deteriorate over time. According to a pastor at the church, the girl often struggled to focus due to extreme hunger. She would frequently sneak food, even hiding snacks in her pockets and eating in secret to avoid detection by Brittany Hull.    While hospitalized, the girl expressed relief at being able to eat freely and promptly gained weight. This contradicted Brittany Hull's claims that she had worked with a nutritionist to develop a diet for the girl to address her attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as the girl's brain function was found to be appropriate.    In a chilling revelation, the girl reported that Brittany and Tristan Hull regularly prevented her from eating breakfast and snacks, strictly controlled her access to food, and even placed her separately during meals. Brittany Hull restricted her water intake to a mere 16 ounces and sometimes had to feed her because the girl's wrists were too weak.    A shocking discovery was made in the girl's living conditions as well. Her bedroom had a lock on the door, all windows were secured, and an alarm system was installed. Books were taped to her mattress to force her to sleep in a certain position, and she had no blankets or bedding.    Evidence also emerged from Tristan Hull's cellphone, including messages discussing the girl shivering in her room. Security camera footage showed the girl being forced to stand with her hands raised for extended periods, crying and shaking, while both Brittany and Tristan Hull were seen entering the room and making her raise her hands higher, despite her distress.    If convicted, the couple faces a maximum sentence of 65 years in prison.    This disturbing case of child neglect and abuse has sent shockwaves through the community, raising concerns about the welfare of vulnerable children and the need for heightened vigilance and intervention in such cases.

In a significant development, over 900 pages of legal documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case were unsealed, shedding light on the tangled web of associations surrounding the disgraced financier. The release of these documents has ignited a flurry of online speculation and discussions, revealing the involvement of numerous high-profile figures.    The unsealed documents made public on Wednesday, include details from the case filed by Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015. These papers have unveiled a lengthy list of individuals connected to Epstein's controversial life, exposing his double role as a prominent financier and an alleged perpetrator.    While many expected the release to unveil a client list and co-conspirators, the reality is less scandalous. Most of the individuals named in the documents are not accused of any wrongdoing and have been mentioned previously in legal proceedings or news reports.    The list of notable names mentioned in the documents includes Prince Andrew, former US President Bill Clinton, pop star Michael Jackson, magician David Copperfield, and renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. However, it is crucial to note that being mentioned in these documents does not imply guilt or criminal activity.    The document release triggered a surge of online activity, causing the court's website hosting the files to crash within minutes. Conspiracy theories also emerged, with some suggesting that the documents were intentionally taken offline. Misinformation and baseless claims had been circulating for weeks, adding to the anticipation surrounding the release.    Contrary to expectations, the unsealed records primarily feature Epstein's accusers, members of his staff who shared their accounts with tabloid newspapers, and individuals who served as witnesses during Ghislaine Maxwell's trial. Additionally, the documents mention individuals who were part of investigations into Epstein, including prosecutors, journalists, and detectives.    This release marks the first set of documents related to the case becoming unsealed, with more anticipated in the coming days. As the documents continue to be examined, they provide a complex and nuanced view of the Epstein case, challenging preconceived notions and stirring discussions about the extent of his network.    While some of the 170 names mentioned in the documents have been disclosed, the remainder is expected to become part of the public record in the days ahead. The revelations have sparked conversations about the role of high-profile individuals in Epstein's life and raised questions about the extent of their involvement.    In response to the document release, various figures mentioned in the papers have offered statements. Alan Dershowitz, one of Epstein's associates whose name appeared, defended those listed, emphasizing that no one should be automatically convicted in the court of public opinion simply for being mentioned in court documents.    The unsealing of these documents brings a fresh layer of complexity to the Epstein case, prompting ongoing discussions and investigations into the far-reaching implications of his activities.

Rebecca Hill, the Colleton County Clerk of Court, has admitted to plagiarizing the opening section of her book concerning the infamous Alex Murdaugh double-murder trial. This revelation comes as a significant blow to Hill's already controversial legal career, further entangling her in a web of legal issues.    In a statement released on December 26, Hill's lawyers acknowledged the plagiarism and cited tight deadlines for the self-published book, titled "Behind the Doors of Justice." Attorneys Justin Bamberg and Will Lewis expressed Hill's deep remorse for her "unfortunate lapse in judgment."    The plagiarism was brought to light by Neil Gordon, Hill's co-author, who had been one of her staunchest defenders. Gordon announced earlier that he would sever all professional ties with Hill after she privately confessed to stealing portions of the book from drafts provided by BBC reporter Holly Honderich.    Honderich's drafts and Hill's book's preface bore striking similarities. Both began by describing Alex Murdaugh as appearing bored during his trial, hunched over the defense table, and affected by months of imprisonment. They also painted a vivid picture of the Murdaugh family's influence over the landscape, featuring marshlands, palm trees, white clapboard churches, and porch-ringed homes.    Furthermore, Hill's book's preface included quotes from several of Honderich's interviews, attributing them differently in some cases. This blatant plagiarism was discovered when Hill's government email account messages became public in December, revealing her unethical conduct.    The emails exchanged between Hill and Honderich indicated that the BBC reporter did not intend to share her work with Hill initially. However, Hill failed to delete the draft as promised, forwarding it to her personal email and a local paper's publisher instead.    Despite the subsequent admission of plagiarism, Hill's attorneys stated that she had reached out to Honderich to apologize, although the BBC declined to comment on the matter.    This plagiarism revelation compounds Hill's legal woes, as she was already facing allegations of jury tampering and ethics violations related to the Alex Murdaugh trial. Murdaugh's legal team accused her of tampering with the jury, a matter expected to be examined in a public hearing presided over by former S.C. Chief Justice Jean Toal in the coming year.    Additionally, Hill is reportedly the subject of two complaints lodged at the State Ethics Commission. Her troubles escalated further when agents from the State Law Enforcement Division seized her phone in November, coinciding with her son's arrest on charges of wiretapping.    Neil Gordon, who had supported Hill throughout the controversy, expressed his disappointment, stating, "As a veteran journalist myself, I cannot excuse her behavior, nor can I condone it."    The emails in question, part of a cache of over 2,100 emails released by Colleton County, span nearly a year of correspondence. They reveal Hill's involvement from the preparations for the Murdaugh trial to her vehement denial of jury-tampering allegations.    Gordon, the co-author, decided to scrutinize the emails once they became public. He discovered the BBC draft's remarkable resemblance to Hill's book's preface, which she had written alone. The preface, which Hill used without attribution, included a personal sign-off, presenting it as a letter from "Rebecca 'Becky' H. Hill, Clerk of Court, Colleton County, South Carolina, 2023."    While Hill's version of the preface slightly diverged from the final BBC article published after Murdaugh's conviction, her unethical actions have cast a shadow over her credibility and the controversial Alex Murdaugh trial.

In a tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through the Australian sporting community, former world champion and two-time Olympian cyclist Melissa Hoskins, 32, lost her life after being struck by a car in Adelaide. Following the announcement of her death by the Australian Olympic Committee, it was soon reported that her husband, Rohan Dennis, 33, a former Olympian and world champion himself, has been arrested and charged in relation to the incident.    Hoskins, who represented Australia in the team pursuit event at both the 2012 London and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, was involved in the fatal accident on Saturday. She was rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital but tragically succumbed to her injuries.    According to the South Australia Police, a 33-year-old man, known to the victim, was arrested following the crash that occurred in the Adelaide suburb of Medindie after 8 p.m. on Saturday. He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care, and endangering life. The police statement did not disclose the identities of the individuals involved, but various media outlets have widely reported them as Rohan Dennis and Melissa Hoskins.    The police report further reveals that the woman suffered serious injuries and subsequently passed away in the hospital, marking the 114th life lost on South Australian roads this year, compared to 71 at the same time last year. The driver has been bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on 13 March.    A spokesperson for the South Australia Police declined to confirm the identities involved, stating, "We are unable to confirm identities in SA." Additionally, a contact listed on Rohan Dennis' website has yet to respond to inquiries for comment.    The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, had retired from their cycling careers and were parents to two children, as depicted in Dennis' Instagram account. His last post on Christmas featured a family photo in front of a decorated tree, captioned, "Merry Christmas from our family to yours."    Melissa Hoskins had achieved considerable success in her cycling career, with a notable highlight being her team pursuit gold medal at the 2015 world championships in France. Her contribution to the sport extended beyond her competitive years, as AusCyling chief executive Marne Fechner stated, "Melissa described her team pursuit gold medal at the 2015 world championships as the highlight of her career, but for the rest of us, the highlight was just having her around. Although she retired in 2017, her presence as an alumnus of the sport has been felt and appreciated by many in the cycling and riding community."    As the investigation into this tragic incident unfolds, the Australian sporting world mourns the loss of a talented athlete and extends its sympathies to the family and friends of Melissa Hoskins, while her husband, Rohan Dennis, faces legal proceedings related to the charges brought against him.

A 44-year-old off-duty pilot was apprehended on more than 160 charges following his alleged attempt to disrupt the plane's engines midflight, raising genuine security concerns.  The incident unfolded on Sunday, October 22, aboard a Horizon Airlines flight operated by Alaska Airlines, en route from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco. Authorities received reports of a credible security threat involving an off-duty pilot occupying a flight deck jump seat.    Identified as Joseph Emerson by KOIN-TV, the off-duty pilot purportedly made an unsuccessful attempt to interfere with the engine's operation. The aircraft's captain and first officer successfully thwarted Emerson's efforts, and Alaska Airlines confirmed that the plane never lost engine power, with the crew securing the aircraft without any further incident.    To address the situation, air traffic control redirected the flight, leading to an emergency landing at Portland International Airport, where Emerson was apprehended. Multnomah County Jail records indicate that Emerson faces a total of 83 counts of attempted murder, 83 counts of reckless endangerment, and one count of endangering an aircraft.    Alaska Airlines reassured passengers that they were accommodated on a subsequent flight without any disruptions.

In a recorded jailhouse phone call, Susan Smith, the inmate serving a life sentence for drowning her two sons, discussed her thoughts on motherhood and parole prospects with one of her suitors. As her first parole hearing approaches, Smith faces both opposition from her former husband and offers of support from admirers.  As the date for her first parole hearing, scheduled for November 4, 2024, draws near, Susan Smith, the infamous South Carolina inmate convicted of murdering her two young sons, Michael Daniel Smith, 3, and Alexander Tyler Smith, 14 months, has recently made headlines again. Transcripts of a recorded jailhouse phone call from Leath Correctional Institution last month have revealed Smith's contemplation of motherhood and potential parole prospects.    In the recorded conversation, Smith, now 52 years old, told one of several suitors, "I could see myself around kids," sparking a conversation about her future role as a stepmother. The suitor responded positively, saying, "You'd be great, babe." The Messenger obtained these transcripts, shedding light on Smith's thoughts as her parole hearing approaches.    Smith's notoriety stems from her 1994 conviction for the murder of her two sons. Initially, she claimed that a carjacker, described as a Black man, had taken her vehicle with her children inside. A nationwide search ensued, and Smith tearfully pleaded for their safe return on national television. However, it was later revealed that Smith had intentionally allowed her car to roll into John D. Long Lake, with her sons strapped into their car seats.    One of Smith's former suitors, Tom Findalay, had penned a letter that prosecutors argued played a role in driving her to commit the heinous act. In the letter, Findalay expressed concerns about Smith's children, leading to speculation about her motives. Smith, on the other hand, has long maintained that she did not drown her children for a man's sake but rather suffered a psychotic breakdown.    Relatives of Smith have revealed that men have always been drawn to her, even during her time behind bars. One relative commented, "She's always been into guys, obviously. It would be the best case scenario for her, to be in a relationship. So she's hoping to find the right man to live with if she gets out." This revelation comes as Smith's first parole hearing approaches, where she plans to request her release.    However, her former husband, David Smith, who had stood by her side during the fruitless search for their children and at their funerals, remains vehemently opposed to her release. A relative of David Smith stated, "David still thinks of his boys every day and doesn't ever want Susan to get out. She belongs in jail… she is exactly where she needs to be – in prison. And we will do what it takes to keep her there."    Amidst the polarizing views on her release, Smith's suitors have been actively offering support. Some have offered her money, a place to stay upon parole, and even the prospect of building a future together. One suitor expressed, "She's a good person who did something terrible when she was young and not in her right mind – people can change." These suitors are vying to assist her post-release.    Smith's life behind bars has not been devoid of controversy. Reports have emerged of an illicit sexual relationship with a prison guard, as well as incidents of marijuana use and self-mutilation in her disciplinary record. When not engaging with prospective post-release lovers, Smith often discusses her potential parole with friends and family, seeking advice on how to present her case to the Parole Board.   In a recorded phone call, a friend named Ruth advised Smith to frame her case around the possibility of postpartum depression, which can last up to three years after childbirth. "Prepare now what you will say when you're given the chance to speak at your parole," Ruth advised. "It won't be easy."   As Susan Smith's first parole hearing date looms, the public remains divided on whether she should be granted parole or continue to serve her life sentence for the tragic and shocking crime that has haunted the nation for nearly three decades.

In a surprising turn of events, recorded jail calls between Donna Adelson and her son, Charlie Adelson, have shed light on the emotional turmoil within the Adelson family following Charlie's conviction in the high-profile Dan Markel murder case. Charlie Adelson, a wealthy periodontist from Fort Lauderdale, was found guilty on November 6 of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation in the 2014 killing of his former brother-in-law, Dan Markel. His mother, Donna Adelson, faced arrest on similar charges just days later, sparking intense scrutiny of their family dynamics. The jail calls, totaling more than 35 hours, captured candid conversations between Charlie and his parents as they grappled with the consequences of his conviction and the impending legal proceedings. One particular call, initiated by Charlie Adelson from the Leon County Detention Facility, lasted 25 minutes and was marked by emotional exchanges between Charlie and Donna Adelson. During this call, Donna Adelson discussed several significant topics: 1. **The Markel Case:** Donna Adelson openly spoke about the Markel murder case, reflecting the family's distress. Her statements indicated the gravity of the situation, given Charlie's recent conviction and the ongoing investigation. 2. **Text Message from Daughter:** She read aloud a text message exchange with her daughter, Wendi Adelson, which occurred hours after the guilty verdicts were announced. Wendi's message expressed her position that she was not responsible for Charlie's situation and focused on caring for her sons during this difficult time. 3. **Suicidal Thoughts:** Donna Adelson made conflicting remarks about her own emotional state, mentioning thoughts of not wanting to see her son and suggesting a joint suicide. She expressed a desire to escape from the situation, raising concerns about her well-being. 4. **Extradition to Vietnam:** She mentioned looking up Vietnam multiple times to determine whether it had an extradition treaty with the U.S., possibly hinting at future plans. The call took place on November 7, the day following Charlie Adelson's conviction and shortly before Donna's arrest. It was marked by moments of tension and vulnerability, showcasing the immense stress experienced by the Adelson family. Prosecutors revealed that these jail calls, totaling over 35 hours of conversations between Charlie, Donna, and others, played a pivotal role in accelerating Donna Adelson's arrest. The calls forced them to expedite their timetable. Donna Adelson, who had been in solitary confinement and on suicide watch, recently made her first in-person appearance in a Leon County courtroom. During her arraignment, she pleaded not guilty to charges related to the murder of Dan Markel. Her attorney alleged mistreatment by the jail authorities but was unsuccessful in obtaining intervention by the court. The Markel case, dating back to 2014, has garnered widespread attention for its intricate details and complex family dynamics. Dan Markel was fatally shot in his garage during a legal battle with his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, who had ties to the Adelson family. Prosecutors have long maintained that Markel's murder was orchestrated to facilitate Wendi Adelson's relocation to Miami. The recorded jail calls provide a unique insight into the emotions and conversations that unfolded within the Adelson family during this tumultuous period. As the legal proceedings continue, the Markel case remains a focal point of interest and scrutiny. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Ruby Franke, a Utah mother of six who gained fame through her YouTube channel "8 Passengers," pleaded guilty on Monday to four felony counts of second-degree aggravated child abuse, admitting to the abuse and starvation of two of her children. The plea was entered in a courtroom where Franke appeared wearing gray and white jail clothing, expressing her deepest regret for her actions. The charges stemmed from a disturbing incident that unfolded earlier this year when Franke's 12-year-old son escaped from a residence in the southern Utah city of Ivins, where he had been held captive. Covered in wounds and with duct tape on his wrists and ankles, the boy approached a neighbor and asked for help, prompting a 911 call. The caller stated, "I think he's been ... he's been detained," while describing the emaciated and wounded state of the child. Authorities swiftly responded to the call and discovered Franke's 10-year-old daughter at the same location. Both children were rushed to the hospital, with the younger ones eventually taken into state custody. Franke's husband, Kevin Franke, has filed for divorce following the incident. The family's YouTube channel, "8 Passengers," was known for its parenting advice but came under scrutiny for controversial decisions, including a video showing the couple banning their oldest son from his bedroom for seven months and refusing to provide lunch for a kindergartener who forgot it at home. Franke also faced criticism for threatening to cut the head off a young girl's stuffed toy as a punishment. In one video, she revealed that her two youngest children wouldn't receive gifts from Santa Claus one year due to their behavior. The shocking case revealed that Franke had been influenced by a relationship counselor, Jodi Hildebrandt, who manipulated her sense of morality, leading to the abuse. Franke's attorney, LaMar Winward, explained, "Ruby Franke is a devoted mother and is also a woman committed to constant improvement." He added, "Hildebrandt systematically isolated Ruby Franke from her extended family, older children, and her husband, Kevin Franke." Hildebrandt, who is facing allegations in connection with the case, has agreed not to see patients until her situation is addressed by state licensing officials. Her next court hearing is scheduled for December 27. Douglas Terry, her attorney, has not commented on the allegations made by Franke's attorney. Judge John J. Walton accepted Ruby Franke's plea agreement, leaving her sentencing up to his discretion, which may include prison time. The sentencing is set for February 20. Both Franke and Hildebrandt remain in jail since their arrests. While incarcerated, Ruby Franke has engaged in introspection, intending to take responsibility for her actions, as stated in a statement by her attorney. The disturbing incident has raised questions about the responsibility of online influencers and the impact their content may have on their personal lives and the lives of their followers. The "8 Passengers" YouTube channel, which had been active since 2015, came to an abrupt end after seven years, marking a tragic turn in the life of a family once known for sharing their parenting journey online.

Brian Walshe, the 48-year-old Cohasset resident accused of murdering his wife, Ana Walshe, and dismembering her body, is set to receive legal representation from attorney Larry Tipton, who has been appointed as his public defender.   The case dates back nearly a year, with Ana Walshe's disappearance and presumed death occurring on New Year's Day. Despite extensive investigations, her body remains undiscovered. The case took a grim turn when prosecutors revealed disturbing internet searches allegedly conducted by Brian Walshe shortly after his wife's disappearance, including inquiries about disposing of a body, dismemberment, and body decomposition.   Attorney Larry Tipton spoke to 5 Investigates on Tuesday, confirming his involvement in the case. "I have been asked to represent Mr. Walshe because he requires a public defender. Our focus will be to ensure a fair and just legal process," Tipton stated.   The charges brought against Brian Walshe include murder, misleading a police investigation/obstruction of justice, and improper conveyance of a human body. He remains held without bail as the investigation continues.   Prosecutors have presented compelling evidence against Walshe, including videos showing him making an unplanned trip to a hardware store where he purchased $450 worth of cleaning supplies in cash. Another video revealed him buying rugs at a different store. Blood and a knife with blood on it were discovered in the basement of the Walshe family's rented home.   One of the most significant developments in the case came when investigators uncovered ten bags of evidence at a transfer station in Peabody. These bags contained Ana Walshe's COVID-19 vaccination card, a necklace matching one she was known to wear, a hacksaw, and a hatchet. Crucially, many of these items were found to have blood on them, and DNA analysis linked them to the Walshe family.   The prosecution's case is built on a series of compelling pieces of evidence, pointing toward Brian Walshe's involvement in his wife's disappearance and alleged murder. As the legal proceedings move forward, the role of attorney Larry Tipton will be critical in ensuring a fair trial for the accused.   The local community continues to closely follow the case, eager for answers surrounding the mysterious disappearance of Ana Walshe. Law enforcement officials have vowed to pursue justice vigorously, and the upcoming legal proceedings will be crucial in determining Brian Walshe's fate.

Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital (JHAC) has filed a motion for a new trial in the high-profile Maya Kowalski medical abuse case, citing alleged juror misconduct that could have influenced the previous verdict. The hospital is claiming that a juror's notes containing Nazi symbols indicate bias against one of the defendants, Dr. Sally Smith. This development follows a November verdict awarding Maya Kowalski's family over $260 million in damages due to alleged mistreatment at the hospital. The controversy revolves around Juror No. 1, who, according to JHAC's motion, wrote notes during the trial with Nazi symbols placed suggestively around Dr. Sally Smith's name. The hospital argues that this behavior demonstrates bias and prejudice against Dr. Smith, equating her with the Nazi Schutzstaffel, a paramilitary organization from World War II. In response, Maya's attorney, Greg Anderson, expressed strong opposition to the hospital's motion, deeming it "completely and utterly inappropriate." Anderson stated, "Even if there were some way to make a connection — which there's not in any way, shape or form. Going after a juror — and trying to make any connection at all to such a loathsome part of history is … inappropriate and contrary to everything that our rules of professional conduct stand for." The defense has also alleged other instances of juror misconduct, suggesting that Juror No. 1 may have held negative feelings toward the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF). The juror posted a statement about the trial on a public Facebook page associated with the "Take Care of Maya" documentary, expressing opposition to JHAC's motion for a new trial. Despite these allegations, Anderson maintains that the defense is "grasping at straws" and pursuing various arguments for a new trial. He believes the hospital's desire for a do-over does not align with the jury's verdict and public sentiment. "They just don't understand that the jury, in fact, the country, has rejected their conduct," Anderson added. The Maya Kowalski case gained significant attention when the jury awarded the Kowalski family substantial damages on November 9th. The family had alleged that JHAC falsely imprisoned Maya, fraudulently billed her family, and caused them severe emotional distress. The jury also determined that social worker Catherine Bedy had battered Maya, and Dr. Smith had medically neglected her. Maya's medical journey began when she was admitted to JHAC at the age of 10, suffering from a complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Subsequent concerns led to her removal from her parents' custody after staff accused Beata Kowalski, her mother, of medical abuse. The case inspired the popular documentary series "Take Care of Maya." With a hearing for the new trial set for Friday, the case continues to generate debate and public interest. JHAC's motion for a new trial raises questions about the impact of alleged juror misconduct on the previously awarded damages and the potential for a retrial in this highly contentious medical abuse case.

In a significant development nearly 27 years after the tragic death of 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey, DNA evidence collected from her family's home has undergone testing with advanced technology. This crucial step could bring fresh leads in the cold case that has baffled investigators for decades. Law enforcement officials in Boulder, Colorado, have recently received a detailed report outlining the DNA testing results. Some materials had been previously examined, while others underwent testing just two months ago. The report itself is not available to the public, maintaining the confidentiality of the ongoing investigation. JonBenet Ramsey's father, John Ramsey, expressed his optimism about the latest developments in the case. In a recent interview with NewsNation, he spoke of the hope that this testing might reveal new persons of interest. He emphasized the need for the examination of materials in state-of-the-art laboratories, equipped with technology not available to the federal government. John Ramsey's vision extends beyond advanced testing. He envisions using the technology to analyze DNA evidence against public genealogy databases. This approach has been instrumental in solving other cold cases, offering renewed hope for JonBenet's case. Law enforcement officials and the public have long-awaited answers in the JonBenet Ramsey case. A police source shared their optimism, saying, "Time will tell if this is the evidence needed to solve this case. I hope we get answers and more importantly, I hope her family finally gets answers." JonBenet Ramsey's body was discovered in the basement of her family's home on December 26, 1996. The circumstances surrounding her death were deeply unsettling. Her family was initially excluded as suspects, and officials do not anticipate that the new testing will lead them to a relative. It is believed that an intruder broke into their residence, striking JonBenet in the back of the head and strangling her. An autopsy revealed a fractured skull, with a garrote made from white rope and a broken paintbrush found around her neck. Despite the passage of time and numerous challenges, officials in Boulder have expressed their unwavering commitment to solving the JonBenet Ramsey case. The department underwent changes in leadership, with a new chief of police and assistant chief coming on board. The renewed interest in the case might be attributed to these personnel changes. While JonBenet's death was ruled a homicide, no one has been prosecuted for the crime. Authorities remain resolute in their pursuit of justice and their determination to bring closure to JonBenet's family and the wider community. In a related mission, JonBenet's father, John Ramsey, seeks to prevent the alleged mistakes during his daughter's investigation from happening again. He is advocating for making the murder of children a federal crime, aiming to improve coordination and resources in such cases. This multi-faceted effort underscores the enduring impact of JonBenet Ramsey's case on her family and the nation, and the determination to ensure that justice prevails.

The trial of Shanda Vander Ark, charged in the tragic starvation death of her 15-year-old son, Timothy Ferguson, has commenced in Muskegon County in Michigan. Vander Ark faces charges of open murder and first-degree child abuse in a case that has drawn widespread attention for its heartbreaking details.    Timothy Ferguson's lifeless body was discovered at the family's Norton Shores home in July of 2022. At the time of his death, Timothy weighed a mere 69 pounds. The autopsy conducted revealed that he had died from dehydration and extreme emaciation, attributed to malnutrition and starvation. The medical examiner ruled his death as a homicide, shedding light on the distressing conditions he endured.    In court, prosecutors have presented disturbing allegations against Shanda Vander Ark. It is claimed that she denied Timothy access to food, restricting him to a diet of only bread or bread soaked in hot sauce. Additionally, it is alleged that Vander Ark subjected her son to various forms of abuse, including pouring hot sauce down his throat and placing him in an ice bath. Timothy was reportedly forced to sleep in a closet with an alarm on the door.    Assistant prosecutors have asserted that Vander Ark chose to "essentially torture the child." The case has generated significant public interest and concern over the treatment Timothy endured before his untimely death.    The trial officially began with opening statements, and it is anticipated to span the entire week. As the prosecution presents its case and the defense responds, the courtroom will bear witness to the unfolding details surrounding the tragic events leading up to Timothy's passing.    If Shanda Vander Ark is convicted on charges of open murder and first-degree child abuse, she could face a sentence of up to life in prison. The trial will play a crucial role in determining her guilt or innocence, holding her accountable for the heartbreaking circumstances that befell her son.    It is worth noting that Vander Ark has a 21-year-old son who also faces charges of first-degree child abuse in connection with Timothy's death. A separate trial date for him is pending, further emphasizing the gravity of the allegations and the legal proceedings underway.    As the trial unfolds, the Muskegon County community and the broader public will closely follow the case, seeking answers and justice for Timothy Ferguson. The heartbreaking details presented in court serve as a stark reminder of the importance of protecting vulnerable children and holding those responsible for their suffering accountable for their actions.

Four months after being found guilty of murdering seven infants in a British hospital, former nurse Lucy Letby has officially been removed from the nursing registry, according to reports. The Nursing and Midwifery Council took this action after her conviction in August, where she received a life sentence for her heinous crimes.    Lucy Letby, who previously worked in the neonatal ward of the Countess of Chester Hospital in Chester, England, has had her nursing registration revoked by the Nursing and Midwifery Council. This decision comes after her conviction for the murder of seven infants and the attempted murder of six others. Despite the conviction, Letby continues to assert her innocence.    In a "tick-box exercise" conducted before the hearing, Letby acknowledged the convictions but maintained her innocence regarding the allegations, stating, "I accept the fact of the convictions. However, I do not accept that I am guilty of any of the allegations." She also expressed that she remained "innocent in respect of all of the convictions."    Lucy Letby's troubles began in 2016 when she was removed from the neonatal ward following suspicions raised by senior hospital staff. A year of mysterious infant deaths and near-deaths prompted concerns and led to her reassignment.    During her 10-month trial, disturbing allegations emerged, including the accusation that she had deliberately killed two of three triplets within a 24-hour period. Additionally, it was reported that Letby had allegedly written "I killed them on purpose" on a sticky note, further incriminating her in the eyes of the law. However, the 11-person jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on attempted murder charges related to the cases of four other babies.    Prior to Lucy Letby's sentencing, parents of the infants who fell victim to her actions voiced their anguish. The mother of one of the babies, identified as Child D, expressed her pain, saying, "I cannot forgive you. There is no forgiving. Not now, not ever."    Another mother, whose twin boys were affected (identified as Child E and F), criticized Letby for not attending her sentencing hearing and referred to her as a "coward." She added, "Our world was shattered when we encountered evil disguised as a caring nurse."    While Lucy Letby now faces life in prison for the murders she was convicted of, her legal battle is not yet over. A retrial on an attempted murder charge is scheduled for June 2024, ensuring that the tragic and deeply unsettling case continues to command attention and legal proceedings.    The nursing community, along with the wider public, remains shaken by the horrifying revelations surrounding Letby's actions in the neonatal ward, as the quest for justice and closure for the affected families unfolds.

In a horrifying incident that has left a community in shock, a New Jersey man, Jeffrey Surgent, allegedly decapitated his mother, 74-year-old Alexandria M. Surgent, before being discovered lying naked on top of her headless body. The disturbing event unfolded at a public housing complex in Ocean City, casting a dark cloud over the neighborhood.    According to authorities and a probable cause arrest affidavit obtained by WABC and The Press of Atlantic City, the gruesome incident occurred on a fateful Friday. Jeffrey Surgent allegedly placed a call to 911, revealing that he was bipolar and had just committed matricide.    When law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, they were met with a horrifying sight. Surgent was found naked and covered in blood, lying atop his mother's headless body. As they proceeded to handcuff him, Surgent reportedly confessed to the murder, expressing remorse for his actions. Shockingly, he began singing the hymn "Jesus Loves Me" during the arrest, as stated in the affidavit.    Prosecutors have since charged Jeffrey Surgent with murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a weapon. Notably, Surgent has a documented history of mental illness, shedding light on the complex and tragic nature of the case.    The victim, Alexandria M. Surgent, was described by her family as "the greatest grandmother in the world." In their time of grief, her family has turned to crowdfunding for support. On a GoFundMe page, her grandson Chase Surgent penned a heartfelt plea: "Our grandmother was murdered by our uncle, Jeffrey Surgent. She lived with us and helped us with our day-to-day lives. Without her, we can't afford rent or food and we cannot pay for her burial or cremation."    The Ocean City community has been left in disbelief by the gruesome incident. Janice Powers, who was visiting her father in the building where the incident occurred, shared her experience with New York ABC affiliate WABC.    "I went to go do a load of laundry, and it's on the second floor, and they had everything marked off and blankets. I was like, 'Oh my gosh,'" Powers recounted. She had met Jeffrey Surgent before and described her interactions with him as ordinary, saying, "We went to a barbeque. He just played with the kids, and he was really nice. I don't know what to say. It was weird."    The investigation into this tragic and chilling case continues, with questions surrounding the motive and the extent of Surgent's mental health issues. The community, meanwhile, grapples with the harrowing event that has shaken them to the core. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a shocking and gruesome incident, a man has been arrested for allegedly beating a store clerk to death and impaling him with a golf club at the Oak Grove Grocery store in Minneapolis. The tragic event unfolded just before 2 p.m. on a Friday, leaving the local community in shock and mourning the loss of a beloved individual.    According to a press release from the Minneapolis Police Department, officers responded to a call for a stabbing at the Oak Grove Grocery store. Upon arrival, they discovered the store clerk, a 66-year-old man identified as Robert Skafte, behind the counter with a golf club "impaled through his torso." First responders rushed Skafte to the hospital, but unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries.    A witness at the scene identified a 44-year-old suspect who had allegedly carried out the brutal assault. Police tracked the suspect to a nearby apartment, where he barricaded himself. To handle the situation, Minneapolis police deployed their SWAT team, drone unit, and negotiators.    After a tense six-hour standoff, law enforcement was successful in coaxing the suspect out of the apartment. At this time, the identity of the suspect has not been disclosed, and the motive behind the murder remains unknown.    Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara provided some details about the incident, stating, "It appears he [the suspect] then went behind the counter and began to assault and bludgeon the individual behind the counter in a very grotesque way."    While the police did not release the victim's name, the Oak Grove Grocery store, where Skafte worked, paid tribute to him on Facebook, saying, "We are devastated by the death of Robert Skafte, the heart and soul of the Oak Grove Grocery and the entire Loring Park Community." The store described Skafte as a "good neighbor," a "true friend," and the "best teammate."    Robert Skafte was not only known for his work at the grocery store but also for his talent in dance. He trained and danced with Westside Ballet in California during the early 1980s and was a professional dancer with the Kansas City Ballet from 1984 to 1994 before relocating to Minneapolis. For nearly two decades, he performed with the dance company Ballet of the Dolls, according to Minneapolis NBC affiliate KARE.    Additionally, Skafte was an active member of his community, overseeing the farmers market in Stevens Square for 16 consecutive years. His contributions to the community were widely acknowledged and appreciated.    The tragic death of Robert Skafte has left the Minneapolis community in shock and mourning. As the investigation into the motive behind this brutal assault continues, friends, neighbors, and fellow community members remember Skafte as a beloved figure who made significant contributions to both the local grocery store and the community at large. The arrest of the suspect provides some relief, but many questions remain unanswered in this deeply disturbing incident.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The shocking saga of former attorney Alex Murdaugh continues to unfold as he pleads guilty to a string of financial crimes that left families across the state betrayed and suffering. Among these families is that of Gloria Satterfield, a beloved housekeeper, whose legacy has inspired a foundation aimed at helping those in need.    Gloria Satterfield, a dedicated mother and devoted worker, tragically lost her life in a fall at the Murdaughs' Moselle property on February 2, 2018. In the aftermath of her passing, Alex Murdaugh, the family's attorney and friend, approached Gloria's loved ones with promises of support.    "He said he would make sure the boys were taken care of," recalls Gloria's sister, Ginger Hadwin. "He was just looking out for the boys because he thought a lot of Gloria and he was just going to make sure [her sons] Brian and Tony were taken care of, and to show his appreciation for all the years that Gloria had shown her love, looking out for his family and his boys."    With Murdaugh's guidance, the family pursued wrongful death and survival claims. However, their trust was shattered when they discovered that their case had been settled for a staggering sum of over $4 million, a fact that Murdaugh had concealed from them.    "It made me sick to my stomach," says Tony, Gloria's son.    The extent of Alex Murdaugh's deceit became evident when he was arrested in October 2021, facing more than 100 financial crime charges, revealing that Satterfield's family was not the only victim of his fraudulent actions.    Last month, Murdaugh, already serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife Maggie and son Paul in June 2021, pleaded guilty to 22 financial crimes, including money laundering, breach of trust, and financial fraud. Prosecutors disclosed that Murdaugh had defrauded over 18 clients of millions over a decade.    Creighton Waters, the lead prosecutor in both Murdaugh's financial crimes and murder cases, emphasized the devastating impact of Murdaugh's deception. Waters stated, "The wreckage that was left is unprecedented. This was as egregious as it comes."    Waters added that Alex Murdaugh had used "trust" as a "weapon," exploiting his charismatic and friendly demeanor to deceive numerous victims. He remarked, "the reality is there is not one person out there who knew who he really was."    Ginger Hadwin, who spoke at Murdaugh's sentencing for financial crimes, expressed the profound pain inflicted on her family and others. "I not only felt the pain of my family, of being betrayed, I felt the pain of the other family members that were betrayed by Alex," she said.    Despite the anguish, Gloria Satterfield's family is determined to honor her memory through positive action. They established the Gloria's Gifts Foundation, with a mission to ensure that underprivileged children receive at least one gift for Christmas.    "We just want to help people because she struggled, and we just want to help people that struggle," says Ginger.    Gloria's son Tony added, "It's her legacy. It shows that she didn't die in vain, that her death had a purpose. Now we can smile when we hear the name Gloria."    The case of Alex Murdaugh serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency, trust, and accountability in the legal profession and the enduring impact of deception on victims' lives.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Rapper 50 Cent, a figure known for courting controversy, has delivered perhaps his most explosive revelation yet. In a recent social media post, the influential G-Unit founder pointed an accusatory finger at Sean "Diddy" Combs, insinuating the mogul's role in the assassination of hip-hop legend Tupac "2Pac" Shakur.    Taking to Instagram on October 9, 50 Cent's post was not one to be ignored. He shared an evocative photo of Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight from the night of the fatal drive-by shooting in 1996, captioned with words hinting at Diddy's alleged involvement. "Damn so pac got lined by brother love,” he wrote, making a reference to Diddy's R&B alias. Further adding fuel to the fire, 50 Cent also advised Combs to “lawyer up” stating, "LOL Time to Lawyer up, shit might get sticky.”    The 2Pac mystery, dating back to September 7, 1996, has been a haunting chapter in hip-hop's storied history. On that fateful night, Shakur was brutally attacked with multiple bullets, leading to his tragic death less than a week later. Suge Knight, who was with Shakur at the time, miraculously survived with a non-fatal wound to the head.    Amidst the swirling rumors and theories about 2Pac's death, the involvement of Diddy, the head of Bad Boy Records, has long been a topic of debate, especially given the well-documented tension between Death Row and Bad Boy Records. Although Diddy has been a repeated subject of these speculations, it's important to note that he has never been arrested or formally charged in relation to the crime. Furthermore, Diddy has consistently and forcefully denied any association with Shakur's murder.    Fueling this ongoing firestorm are statements made by Duane “Keefe D” Davis during a 2008 police confession. Davis, who was charged with Shakur's long-standing unsolved murder last month, has made some significant admissions. The 60-year-old former South Side Compton Crip purported that he and Diddy once deliberated over a $1 million bounty to eliminate both Shakur and Knight. This alleged discussion supposedly occurred in Greenblatt’s Deli, Los Angeles, where Diddy supposedly expressed his desire to “get rid of them dudes.”    However, in an unexpected twist, Keefe D later claimed that the proposed $500,000 payment, supposedly from Diddy for carrying out the act, was never delivered to the South Side Compton Crips. Authorities have long believed Shakur's killing was a result of retaliation against Keefe D's nephew, Orlando Anderson, who had a prior altercation with Shakur. Anderson, implicated by Keefe D as the man behind the trigger, lost his life in an unrelated gang altercation in 1998.    Lending more credibility to the cloud of speculations around Diddy's rumored involvement, Ma$e, an ex-Bad Boy artist, made cryptic remarks on his sports talk show, "It Is What It Is." While discussing Keefe D's recent arrest, Ma$e made sly references, hinting at Diddy's potential involvement.    However, one voice of reason amidst the maelstrom of accusations and speculations is that of Greg Kading, a retired LAPD detective. Having spent significant time investigating Shakur's death, Kading opined that the probability of Diddy facing any charges is marginal. Speaking with Rolling Stone, Kading elucidated the need for irrefutable witnesses who can pinpoint Diddy's alleged solicitation or payment, a challenge that seems far-fetched. The retired detective also emphasized his belief that Diddy isn't a killer, stating, "Puffy’s not built like Suge Knight, and I don’t think Puffy was truly intentionally trying to get either 2Pac or Suge killed.”    With 50 Cent's bold accusations, the tragic saga of Tupac Shakur's untimely death has once again been thrust into the limelight. Only time will tell if these renewed conversations and speculations will finally lead to the unmasking of the truth behind one of hip-hop's most enduring mysteries.

Kouri Richins, a Utah-based author and mother of three, has been charged with aggravated murder and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute in connection to her husband, Eric Richins' death in 2022. Family members voiced suspicions about Kouri's involvement in Eric's death, noting that he had feared she might harm him. According to court documents, Eric became ill on multiple occasions after consuming food or drinks provided by Kouri, culminating in his death due to a fentanyl overdose in March 2022. Investigators discovered messages on Kouri's phone with an individual from whom she obtained prescription pain medication, including fentanyl. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Destiny Lenai Johnson, a 25-year-old woman from Miami, is facing serious felony charges, including attempted murder, after an incident involving her Tinder date. The shocking incident occurred outside a hotel in Kendall, Florida, leading to Johnson's arrest.    According to Miami-Dade County records reviewed by PEOPLE, Johnson was arrested on November 25 and charged with attempted murder, first-degree arson, and aggravated battery causing great bodily harm. Johnson pleaded not guilty to these charges, and she is currently being held without bail at the Miami-Dade County’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.    The arrest report, as reported by local sources, including The Miami-Herald, local NBC6, and WSVN, provides a disturbing account of the incident. Johnson and her alleged victim had arranged to meet at a Holiday Inn Express & Suites hotel. However, things took a terrifying turn when Johnson, seemingly irate, approached her date's car carrying a one-gallon jug of liquid.    According to the arrest report, Johnson asked her date for money to repair her car but then began yelling, claiming that someone was after her. She allegedly proceeded to pour gasoline into the passenger side of her date's SUV and ignited it with a lighter. As a result, both Johnson and the victim caught fire.    Johnson reportedly fled the scene, while the victim sought help at the hotel's front desk. He was subsequently transported to a local hospital to receive treatment for burns, as detailed in the arrest report.    Following the incident, police reportedly found Johnson in a state of undress, discussing having blown up a car. She, too, was taken to a local hospital for treatment of her burns.    Miami-Dade court records indicate that Johnson's next court appearance is scheduled for December 18. At this time, a Miami-Dade public information officer has not responded to requests for comment on the case.    This disturbing case highlights the dangers of online dating and serves as a reminder to exercise caution when meeting individuals from dating apps. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and further details may emerge as the legal proceedings continue. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Richard Allen, the man accused of killing two Delphi teenagers, has been transferred to a new correctional facility in Indiana, according to a transfer notice filed by the Indiana Attorney General. Allen's relocation comes after an emergency order was filed on April 5 by his former defense team, citing poor living conditions and unfair treatment at his previous prison.    Judge Frances Gull granted the request for Richard Allen's transfer, responding to concerns raised by his former defense counsel. Allen had been housed at the Westville Correctional Facility since November 3, 2022, before his relocation to the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility on December 6, as indicated in the notice.    Records show that Allen remains on 'long-term segregation' at the new facility, a status that involves physical separation from the general offender population and is typically assigned to inmates in a designated unit.    Allen's case has been marked by various legal issues, including efforts to change the location of his trial and disputes over his legal representation. His former defense team had asserted that Odinists, a white nationalist group, were responsible for the 2017 murders of Libby and Abby, casting doubt on Allen's guilt.    Earlier this year, Judge Gull denied a request to move Allen's trial out of Carroll County but stipulated that all jurors for the case would be selected from Allen County. Allen's trial was initially scheduled for January 2024 but was later postponed to October 15-31, 2024, to allow his newly appointed public defenders, Robert Scremin and William Lebrato, adequate time to prepare his defense.    Despite Allen's legal challenges and requests, both Judge Gull and Attorney General Todd Rokita rejected his petition to have Judge Gull removed from the case and his former attorneys, Andrew Baldwin and Brad Rozzi, reinstated. The rejection was based on their assessment that Allen's actions were "improper" and "inappropriate." They emphasized that Allen should have pursued the appropriate legal channels to address his concerns, such as filing an appeal, which he did not do.    Judge Gull further accused Allen's former attorneys of gross negligence, including leaking confidential case materials, providing false information to the court, and making extrajudicial statements likely to prejudice the case.    As Richard Allen continues to navigate the legal complexities surrounding his case, the upcoming trial in October 2024 will be a critical juncture in determining his fate in the murder of Libby and Abby, whose deaths continue to haunt the Delphi community.

The legal battle surrounding the tragic case of Maya Kowalski, featured in the Netflix documentary "Take Care of Maya," has taken a startling turn as Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital seeks a new trial. The hospital alleges juror misconduct during the original proceedings, casting a shadow over the multi-million-dollar verdict awarded to Maya and her family.    Maya Kowalski and her family were awarded over $250 million in damages after a lengthy legal battle against the hospital and the Florida Department of Children and Families. The lawsuit stemmed from allegations that the hospital accused Maya's mother, Beata Kowalski, of Munchausen-by-proxy, which eventually led to her tragic suicide.    While the hospital was found liable on all counts, including false imprisonment, battery, and intentionally inflicting emotional distress on both Maya and her mother, the institution now requests a re-trial. Their request hinges on allegations of juror misconduct, specifically involving Juror #1, who also served as the panel's foreperson.    The hospital's legal team filed a motion on November 22, requesting an interview with Juror #1. A sworn affidavit accompanying the motion claims that there was "potentially harmful" and "presumptively prejudicial" conduct by the juror and his wife. During the trial, the jury was not sequestered, but attorneys for the hospital contend that social media posts by the juror's wife and the juror himself after the trial suggest inappropriate conversations during the proceedings.    The affidavit alleges that the juror's wife posted information, insights, and opinions about the case on multiple YouTube channels, some of which she could have only known through her husband. Additionally, she indicated that the jury did not favor certain witnesses presented by the Defendant.    "On a near daily basis, [Juror #1's wife] spent hours online engaged in commentary about the trial proceeding, both in real-time and after the trial day had ended," the affidavit stated.    The motion also claims that the juror's wife attended the trial in person with a social media influencer known as "Jules," who was described as being closely aligned with the Plaintiffs. Importantly, the hospital's attorneys assert that the juror failed to alert the court about his wife's presence in the courtroom.    Furthermore, the hospital's lawyers accuse the juror of developing a "shared bias" in favor of the Plaintiffs and engaging in improper internet research regarding case-related issues during the trial.    During the initial trial, the hospital's legal team had previously requested Juror #1's removal, citing suspicions of bias in favor of the Plaintiffs.    The Kowalski family's legal victory came after a tumultuous ordeal, during which Maya, then nine years old, sought medical attention for complex regional pain syndrome at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. Despite ongoing ketamine infusion therapy, Maya's condition was allegedly dismissed by hospital personnel. When Beata Kowalski, a nurse, advocated for her daughter's treatment, doctors raised suspicions of Munchausen-by-proxy, ultimately leading to Maya's separation from her mother. Tragically, after 87 days apart, Beata took her own life at the age of 43.    During the trial, the Kowalski family's lawyer, Mr. Anderson, argued that Maya had been "falsely imprisoned and battered" and denied communication with her family. The jury unanimously found in favor of the Plaintiffs on all counts.    Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital has consistently denied the allegations and insisted that they had no harmful intent towards Ms. Kowalski. Following the verdict earlier this month, the hospital launched an appeal to challenge the decision.    In a recent development, Maya Kowalski filed a criminal complaint alleging sex abuse by the hospital, a claim that emerged during the trial. A hospital spokesperson confirmed that they had investigated the allegations and contacted law enforcement, emphasizing their commitment to patient safety.

A tragic incident in Lower Pottsgrove Township, Pennsylvania, has left a community in shock as an 84-year-old man, Barton Seltmann, stands accused of fatally striking his wife, Margaret Seltmann, 85, during a heated argument over money allocated for their cat's veterinary care.    The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office issued a press release detailing the disturbing events that unfolded in the Seltmann household. On Tuesday at 2:26 p.m., police responded to a 911 call made by Barton Seltmann, leading them to the couple's residence.    Upon arrival, officers encountered a harrowing scene. Barton Seltmann was found on the back porch of their home, his hands, face, and clothing smeared with blood. Tragically, inside the residence, Margaret Seltmann was discovered, described by officials as "obviously deceased."    An investigation revealed the shocking turn of events that transpired during the argument. The couple, locked in a dispute over financial matters related to their cat's veterinary expenses, saw tensions escalate. During this heated exchange, Barton Seltmann allegedly struck his wife multiple times in the head while she lay on the kitchen floor.    The Montgomery County Coroner's Office determined the cause of Margaret Seltmann's death as blunt force injuries to the head, classifying it as a homicide.    Barton Seltmann now faces serious charges, including first-degree murder and third-degree murder. He is currently in custody without bail at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility.    The investigation uncovered a small kitchen knife and shards of glass from a candle jar beneath the victim's body, shedding light on the tragic and violent nature of the incident.    Remarkably, their beloved cat, a source of the initial disagreement, is now being cared for by a family member, as confirmed by the DA's Office in a Facebook comment.    The case has taken a deeply troubling turn as relatives of the accused reported concerns about Barton Seltmann's mental state in the weeks preceding the fatal confrontation. They revealed that Margaret had expressed worries that her husband was suffering from dementia.    "In the last five or six weeks, Margaret said he was suffering from dementia, he wasn't remembering things. Like if he went somewhere, he didn't remember where he was at and things, and she was concerned about it," shared Barton's sister-in-law, Sandy Seltmann.    Barton's brother, Ron Seltmann, described the couple as happy, with a marriage spanning over 30 years. However, the argument took a violent turn when Margaret allegedly brandished a knife and threatened to kill her husband. According to Barton's account to investigators, he reacted by pushing a chair towards his wife, causing her to fall and hit her head on the floor. Subsequently, he reportedly punched her and struck her head with a candleholder.    Tragically, during the altercation, Margaret allegedly uttered the chilling words, "You're killing me," before, as the probable cause affidavit states, she "went to sleep."    This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of conflict resolution and mental health awareness within families, as a simple argument escalated into a devastating tragedy that will forever impact the lives of those involved.

In a heart-wrenching courtroom scene, relatives who believed their loved ones may have been among the 190 decomposing bodies discovered at the Return to Nature Funeral Home watched as the owners, Jon and Carie Hallford, appeared before a judge to face a litany of disturbing charges. The Colorado Springs-based funeral home's facility in Penrose, a quiet Rocky Mountain town, became the epicenter of an unprecedented scandal that has left families in turmoil.    Accused of abusing corpses, theft, money laundering, and forgery, the Hallfords stood in orange jail clothes and handcuffs, remaining silent during a brief court hearing. The revelations surrounding the funeral home have sent shockwaves throughout the community.  The disturbing discovery unfolded when investigators unearthed dozens of stacked bodies at the facility, with some dating as far back as 2019, according to federal affidavits. Families who entrusted their loved ones to the funeral home were told that their relatives had been cremated, but court records allege that they received substitute materials, not their loved ones' ashes.    Heather DeWolf, a grieving mother, attended the hearing and held up a photo of her late son, Zach DeWolf, who passed away at the age of 33 in 2020. Return to Nature had handled her son's remains, and she expressed her profound grief and disbelief: "I don’t view them honestly as human at this point. I don’t believe a human could do this." She recalled the heartbreaking moment she rocked a container, thinking it held her son's ashes, only to question its contents now.    While the FBI has privately told many families that their loved ones were among the decaying bodies, the full extent of how the bodies were mishandled remains unknown to the public. Defense attorneys have objected to the unsealing of affidavits, and the decision on whether to make them public awaits a future judge's ruling. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced plans to demolish the Return to Nature funeral home in Colorado, where authorities uncovered the nearly 200 decaying bodies.  Initially, the Fremont County Department of Public Health & Environment declared the funeral home a public health risk, and now the EPA is stepping in to address the hazardous situation. The agency had scheduled an evaluation of the property in mid-November, but the decision to demolish the building in January 2024 was announced last week. The goal is to remove biological and hazardous materials discovered within the structure safely.    The Hallfords were arrested in Oklahoma, where they had allegedly fled to avoid prosecution. They are currently in police custody, held on a $2 million bond each, and face numerous charges, including about 190 counts of abuse of a corpse, theft, money laundering, and forgery.    Jon Hallford is represented by the public defender's office, which has declined to comment on the case. Carie Hallford is being represented by attorney Michael Stuzynski, who has also declined to comment.    In the aftermath of the grim discovery, authorities have been working diligently to identify the remains. Various methods, including fingerprints, dental records, medical hardware, and DNA, are being employed to establish the identities of those affected.  The shocking revelations have raised questions about the practices of Return to Nature Funeral Home, which offered cremations and "green" burials without embalming fluids. The company, founded in 2017, faced numerous financial crises, including missed tax payments, eviction notices, and lawsuits from suppliers.    When state officials reached out to Jon Hallford after receiving reports of a foul odor, he admitted to having a "problem" at the site and claimed to practice taxidermy there, according to an order dated October 5. However, the extent of the problem and the circumstances surrounding the bodies' mishandling have yet to be fully disclosed to the public.    The FBI's involvement intensified when Jon Hallford ceased using his phone on the day of the funeral home's search, leading authorities to believe he was attempting to evade law enforcement. The subsequent tracking of Carie Hallford's phone to Oklahoma led to the discovery of Jon Hallford's car at his parent's residence and the issuance of a federal court warrant for the couple's arrest.    As the legal proceedings unfold, the nation watches with a mixture of sympathy for the grieving families and a demand for accountability in this deeply disturbing and unprecedented case.

After nearly half a century of uncertainty, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department has revealed a breakthrough in the case of a murdered teenager found in Southern California in 1974. Through the use of investigative genetic genealogy, authorities have identified the victim as Michael Ray Schlicht, bringing renewed attention to a case that may link him to notorious serial killer Randy Kraft.    On September 14, 1974, the lifeless body of a young man was discovered, and at the time, his cause of death was tragically attributed to accidental alcohol and diazepam intoxication. However, this tragic story took a darker turn in 1980 when investigators noted multiple homicides in 1978 with similar intoxication causes of death. These victims were found within close proximity to Schlicht's location, yet he remained unidentified, known only as "John Doe."    Randy Kraft, infamously labeled "The Scorecard Killer," was arrested during a routine traffic stop in 1983, where police found a deceased man in the passenger seat amid beer bottles and lorazepam tablets. Kraft would later be convicted in 1989 of 16 murders in Southern California, and authorities suspect his involvement in up to 60 deaths between 1972 and 1983. The gruesome details of his crimes, which included torture, sexual assault, and mutilation, earned him his chilling moniker.    Despite his conviction, Kraft has remained on death row at San Quentin State Prison. However, the discovery of tissue samples from Schlicht's unidentified remains brought renewed hope for answers. These samples were submitted to a laboratory to construct a DNA profile. After months of diligent genealogy work, investigators successfully traced the lineage to Schlicht's grandparents.    Authorities then reached out to a granddaughter of the grandparents, who disclosed that she had last seen her brother, Michael Ray Schlicht, in April 1974 when he was just 17 years old. To confirm this revelation, investigators journeyed to Kansas City to obtain a DNA sample from Schlicht's mother, which ultimately led to the positive identification of the once enigmatic "John Doe."    The Orange County Sheriff's Department has reclassified Schlicht's death as a homicide, reopening a case that had long remained unsolved. The investigation is ongoing as authorities delve into the circumstances surrounding Schlicht's murder and his potential connection to Randy Kraft's reign of terror.    This discovery not only brings closure to Schlicht's family after decades of uncertainty but also raises questions about other unsolved cases from that era that may be linked to Kraft. As investigators continue their work, they remain committed to seeking justice for the victims and their families.    The identification of Michael Ray Schlicht is a testament to the power of modern forensic techniques and the dedication of law enforcement in pursuing justice, even after many years have passed.

Tragedy struck a Macy's store in Center City Philadelphia on Monday morning, resulting in the death of a security guard and injuries to another following an attempted shoplifting incident that escalated into a violent confrontation. The Philadelphia Police Department is investigating the incident, which has left the community and the retail giant in shock.    The incident unfolded around 10:45 a.m. in a Macy's store just one block from City Hall. According to authorities, the male suspect was attempting to steal several hats when he was intercepted by store security personnel. What began as a routine theft prevention effort took a horrifying turn as the situation escalated rapidly.    According to local news reports, the suspect left the store briefly but returned approximately 15 minutes later. It was during this return that he launched a brutal attack, stabbing a 30-year-old security guard in the neck. The assailant's motive for such a violent response remains under investigation.    A second security guard, a 23-year-old man, attempted to intervene in the unfolding tragedy but tragically became a victim himself. The suspect stabbed him in the face and arm, inflicting severe injuries. Police have not yet disclosed the condition of the injured guard.    The 30-year-old security guard who suffered the initial attack was rushed to a hospital for medical treatment. Unfortunately, despite efforts to save his life, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.    The suspect, whose identity has not been released at this time, fled from the Macy's store after the violent episode. Authorities quickly launched a search for the assailant, leading to a dramatic pursuit through the city's subway system. The suspect was eventually apprehended around noon, bringing a sense of relief to the community.    In response to the tragic incident, a Macy's spokesperson issued a statement expressing the company's profound sorrow: "We are heartbroken about the incident that took place today at Macy's Center City. The store will temporarily remain closed as we work with law enforcement on this investigation and defer any further comments about the case to them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our customers and colleagues is always our top priority."    The incident has left the Philadelphia community in mourning and has underscored the challenging and sometimes dangerous situations that security personnel may face while performing their duties. Investigations into the motive behind the attack and the circumstances leading to this tragedy are ongoing.    As the city grapples with the aftermath of this shocking event, questions regarding security protocols and safety measures in retail environments may come to the forefront. In the meantime, support and condolences are pouring in for the families of the security guards involved, as well as for the Macy's community affected by this senseless act of violence.

Tim Ferriter, the Florida father sentenced to five years in prison for locking his adopted son in a box, is seeking release on bond while his attorneys work on his appeal. In a recent court motion, Ferriter's attorneys revealed that he has job offers awaiting him upon release. However, a controversy has arisen over one of the job offers, with an attorney alleging that a letter confirming the offer is a forgery.    Ferriter, 48, was found guilty of aggravated child abuse, false imprisonment, and child neglect on October 12 and was subsequently sentenced to five years in prison, followed by five years of supervised probation on November 16. Now, as he awaits the outcome of his appeal, Ferriter's attorneys have requested his release on bond, citing employment prospects.    According to court documents, Ferriter intends to work for Dream Outdoor Properties as a sales assistant in Jupiter, Florida, upon his release. The documents also mention that he has an alternative job offer from Mazda of Palm Beach. Letters confirming these job offers were included in the court filings.    However, an attorney purporting to represent Mazda of Palm Beach has raised doubts about the authenticity of the job offer. The attorney stated, "Please be advised that the letter purportedly from Mazda of Palm Beach to Judge Howard Coates is a forgery. There is no record of Mr. Ferriter having ever applied for a job at Mazda of Palm Beach, let alone having been offered one."    The conflicting claims surrounding the job offer from Mazda of Palm Beach have added a layer of complexity to Ferriter's legal situation. If the letter is indeed proven to be a forgery, it could have legal repercussions for Ferriter and those involved in presenting it.    Furthermore, court documents indicate that if Tim Ferriter is granted release on bond, he plans to reside with his wife at a home in Palm Beach Gardens. His wife, Tracy Ferriter, was arrested alongside him in February 2022. Tim Ferriter was previously released on a $50,000 bond before his trial.    It is worth noting that before the trial began, Ferriter rejected a plea deal that would have resulted in a two-year prison sentence. Meanwhile, Tracy Ferriter, who is still awaiting her trial, remains entangled in the legal proceedings, which have garnered significant attention and scrutiny from the public.    As the case unfolds, the question of Tim Ferriter's potential release on bond and the authenticity of the job offer from Mazda of Palm Beach will likely remain central topics of discussion. The outcome of his appeal will be closely watched by those following this high-profile child abuse case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a surprising turn of events in the ongoing civil trial between the families of Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie, it has been revealed that Brian Laundrie's parents admitted to receiving a frantic phone call from him on August 29, 2021, just two days after the day Gabby Petito was believed to have been murdered. During the call, Brian informed his parents that Gabby was "gone" and needed a lawyer, according to attorney Pat Reilly, representing Gabby Petito's family.    This revelation emerged during depositions conducted for the upcoming civil trial, shedding new light on the events surrounding Gabby Petito's tragic death in August 2021.    While Chris and Roberta Laundrie confirmed that Brian told them Gabby was "gone" in the phone call, they did not admit to knowing that she had been killed, emphasizing only that Brian had used the term "gone."    In response to this development, attorney Pat Reilly stated, "I want to know what [Brian] told Bertolino. He probably admitted more. And did [Bertolino] know where Gabby's body was located?" Reilly has filed a motion to compel Steven Bertolino, the Laundries' longtime lawyer, to reveal any additional information he may have received from Brian during the aftermath of Gabby's disappearance. A hearing on this motion, as well as the question of whether Brian's attorney-client privilege should be upheld, is scheduled for December 20 in Sarasota County Circuit Court.    Ryan Gilbert, the attorney representing the Laundries in the Petito civil suit, has not responded to the requests for comment regarding this revelation. Similarly, Steven Bertolino has declined to make any statements on the matter.    The Petito family's allegations in the civil suit are based on the belief that, following Gabby's murder, Brian Laundrie used Gabby's phone to send text messages to her family in an attempt to deceive them. Among these messages, one text was sent to Gabby's mother, Nichole Schmidt, referring to Gabby's grandfather as "Stan." Schmidt has maintained that Gabby never referred to her grandfather by his first name, considering the text highly suspicious.    Nichole Schmidt and Joe Petito, Gabby's father, have brought a lawsuit against the Laundries and Bertolino, accusing them of intentional infliction of emotional distress. The Petito family alleges that the Laundries were aware that Gabby was deceased but chose not to take any actions apart from releasing a statement expressing hope for Gabby's safe return.    The trial for the Petito civil suit, which has experienced several postponements, is currently scheduled for May 2024. This new revelation regarding Brian Laundrie's phone call to his parents has added another layer of complexity to the legal proceedings, potentially bringing forth previously undisclosed information in the highly publicized case.

In a recorded jailhouse phone call, Susan Smith, the inmate serving a life sentence for drowning her two sons, discussed her thoughts on motherhood and parole prospects with one of her suitors. As her first parole hearing approaches, Smith faces both opposition from her former husband and offers of support from admirers.  As the date for her first parole hearing, scheduled for November 4, 2024, draws near, Susan Smith, the infamous South Carolina inmate convicted of murdering her two young sons, Michael Daniel Smith, 3, and Alexander Tyler Smith, 14 months, has recently made headlines again. Transcripts of a recorded jailhouse phone call from Leath Correctional Institution last month have revealed Smith's contemplation of motherhood and potential parole prospects.    In the recorded conversation, Smith, now 52 years old, told one of several suitors, "I could see myself around kids," sparking a conversation about her future role as a stepmother. The suitor responded positively, saying, "You'd be great, babe." The Messenger obtained these transcripts, shedding light on Smith's thoughts as her parole hearing approaches.    Smith's notoriety stems from her 1994 conviction for the murder of her two sons. Initially, she claimed that a carjacker, described as a Black man, had taken her vehicle with her children inside. A nationwide search ensued, and Smith tearfully pleaded for their safe return on national television. However, it was later revealed that Smith had intentionally allowed her car to roll into John D. Long Lake, with her sons strapped into their car seats.    One of Smith's former suitors, Tom Findalay, had penned a letter that prosecutors argued played a role in driving her to commit the heinous act. In the letter, Findalay expressed concerns about Smith's children, leading to speculation about her motives. Smith, on the other hand, has long maintained that she did not drown her children for a man's sake but rather suffered a psychotic breakdown.    Relatives of Smith have revealed that men have always been drawn to her, even during her time behind bars. One relative commented, "She's always been into guys, obviously. It would be the best case scenario for her, to be in a relationship. So she's hoping to find the right man to live with if she gets out." This revelation comes as Smith's first parole hearing approaches, where she plans to request her release.    However, her former husband, David Smith, who had stood by her side during the fruitless search for their children and at their funerals, remains vehemently opposed to her release. A relative of David Smith stated, "David still thinks of his boys every day and doesn't ever want Susan to get out. She belongs in jail… she is exactly where she needs to be – in prison. And we will do what it takes to keep her there."    Amidst the polarizing views on her release, Smith's suitors have been actively offering support. Some have offered her money, a place to stay upon parole, and even the prospect of building a future together. One suitor expressed, "She's a good person who did something terrible when she was young and not in her right mind – people can change." These suitors are vying to assist her post-release.    Smith's life behind bars has not been devoid of controversy. Reports have emerged of an illicit sexual relationship with a prison guard, as well as incidents of marijuana use and self-mutilation in her disciplinary record. When not engaging with prospective post-release lovers, Smith often discusses her potential parole with friends and family, seeking advice on how to present her case to the Parole Board.   In a recorded phone call, a friend named Ruth advised Smith to frame her case around the possibility of postpartum depression, which can last up to three years after childbirth. "Prepare now what you will say when you're given the chance to speak at your parole," Ruth advised. "It won't be easy."   As Susan Smith's first parole hearing date looms, the public remains divided on whether she should be granted parole or continue to serve her life sentence for the tragic and shocking crime that has haunted the nation for nearly three decades.

In a shocking turn of events, Kevin Franke, the husband of renowned YouTube vlogger Ruby Franke, has filed for divorce and a domestic relations injunction, seeking protection amidst a backdrop of child abuse charges against his estranged wife. The case has sent shockwaves through the online parenting community, where Ruby Franke and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, once thrived as popular content creators.    The divorce filing, submitted in Utah's 4th District Court, comes amid a harrowing child abuse case that Ruby Franke and Hildebrandt have been entangled in, facing six counts of aggravated child abuse. The charges have raised serious concerns about the safety and well-being of their children, who were prominently featured in their online content.    The court documents, while not fully accessible to the public, reveal significant provisions in the injunction aimed at ensuring a safe and amicable separation process:    - **Protection Against Harassment:** Both Kevin and Ruby Franke are prohibited from harassing each other during the divorce proceedings.    - **Prevention of Domestic Violence:** The injunction strictly forbids any acts of domestic violence against each other or their children.    - **Misuse of Personal Information:** Neither party is allowed to misuse personal information for any purpose related to the ongoing legal matters.    - **Financial Safeguards:** The court orders prevent the couple from using each other's likeness to open credit lines and interfering with one another's phone or utility services.    - **Child Custody Measures:** Specific court orders are in place for non-routine travel with their children, indicating the importance of safeguarding their well-being.    The divorce filing and injunction come in the wake of a disturbing incident where Ruby Franke's 12-year-old son managed to escape their home, appearing emaciated and with duct tape on his body. A 911 call led the police to discover not only the 12-year-old but also his malnourished 10-year-old sister within their mother's residence. All the children, including Kevin Franke's other offspring, have now been placed in state custody.    Kevin Franke's attorney has stated that his client and Ruby Franke had been living separately for about a year and claimed to be unaware of the alleged abuse occurring in Ruby's household during that time. This separation could have played a pivotal role in Kevin Franke's decision to file for divorce and seek the domestic relations injunction.    An additional layer of complexity to this already tumultuous situation was added when an ongoing child welfare case involving the couple was ordered sealed by a judge on October 10th. Kevin Franke had been actively seeking custody of their children, citing potential harm to the minor parties involved due to public and media interest in the case.    The shocking developments in the Franke family's personal life have raised questions about the responsibilities of social media influencers and the potential consequences of sharing their lives online, especially when it involves children. As the legal proceedings continue and the child abuse case unfolds, the online parenting community and the public at large will be watching closely, hoping for a resolution that ensures the safety and well-being of the Franke children.

DNA evidence has taken center stage in the ongoing murder case against Rex Heuermann, the prime suspect in the deaths of three women near Gilgo Beach in 2010. A recent development reveals that a cheek swab taken from Heuermann's estranged wife, Asa Ellerup, matches the DNA found on the burlap that was used to wrap the victims' bodies, according to sources close to the investigation.    Asa Ellerup's DNA sample was collected on July 13, the same day her husband was arrested and charged with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello. This revelation has raised questions about the potential implications of her DNA being found at the crime scene.    Ellerup's lawyer, Robert Macedonio, downplayed the significance of the DNA match, suggesting it could be the result of a "hair transfer inside the house." He emphasized that Ellerup has not been accused of any involvement in the alleged murders and was out of the country when each of the crimes is believed to have taken place.    Meanwhile, experts have noted that Rex Heuermann's hair was also found under Megan Waterman's body. This hair contained mitochondrial DNA, which could provide additional genetic clues. However, Heuermann's lawyer, Michael J. Brown, has asserted that mitochondrial DNA does not directly identify a suspect, as it could potentially match thousands of individuals in the area.    "There is nobody on the face of this Earth, that is credible, who is going to say the hair is from my client," Brown stated. "That is impossible under science standards. What they can do is say potentially he [Heuermann] is a donor. But so could thousands and thousands of other persons in our area."    Suffolk prosecutors have previously indicated that Heuermann's DNA matched samples found on a discarded pizza box near his Manhattan office. This match is among the evidence linking him to the murders of the three women.    Rex Heuermann, a 60-year-old man, has been accused of killing the three women and dumping their bodies along Gilgo Beach in December 2010. Additionally, he is considered a prime suspect in the death of a fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25. Police have relied on various sources of evidence, including cellphone records, witness accounts, and DNA analysis, to establish these connections.    Notably, Asa Ellerup filed for divorce following her husband's arrest, indicating a strained relationship in the wake of the murder charges against him. The recent revelation of her DNA matching evidence at the crime scene adds another layer of complexity to a case that has garnered significant attention over the years.    The question of how significant this DNA match will prove to be in court remains uncertain. As legal proceedings continue, both sides are likely to scrutinize the DNA evidence, attempting to establish its relevance and reliability. This development raises new questions in a case that has already spanned more than a decade, leaving the public and legal experts eager to see how it will ultimately unfold.

In a courtroom packed with victims and spectators, former South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to 27 years in prison for his egregious theft of approximately $12 million from clients who had placed their trust in him. The courtroom drama unfolded as victims shared their emotional testimonies, revealing the profound impact of Murdaugh's betrayal.    Murdaugh, once a respected figure in the legal community and a prominent name in Hampton County for generations, faced sentencing for his extensive financial crimes. Over nearly a decade, he exploited the trust of his clients, promising assistance with medical bills and settlements, only to misappropriate the funds for his personal use.    Jordan Jinks, a friend of Murdaugh's since childhood, expressed his anguish, saying, "I'm not crying for what he stole from me. I'm crying for what he did to everybody." Many victims, like Jinks, entrusted Murdaugh with their financial well-being, only to be left financially ruined and emotionally devastated.    Prosecutor Creighton Waters provided a detailed account of Murdaugh's thefts, highlighting how he manipulated more than $12 million to evade detection over nearly a decade. Murdaugh used the trust of his family name and legal credentials to perpetuate his theft, accruing significant sums to pay off loans and credit card bills, which eventually spiraled out of control.    Under the plea deal, Murdaugh faced 22 financial crimes related to his clients, including breach of trust, money laundering, and tax evasion. His victims included individuals like Gloria Satterfield, a longtime family maid who died in a fall at the Murdaugh home. Murdaugh promised to take care of her family but later admitted to stealing every penny of the insurance settlement he obtained on her behalf.    Sandra Taylor, another victim, lost her life in a crash with a drunk driver, leaving behind three children. Murdaugh falsely claimed he could secure only a $30,000 settlement for her estate and secretly pocketed $150,000.    Throughout the sentencing hearing, Murdaugh repeatedly apologized to his family, victims, and those he had wronged. He attributed his actions to a drug addiction to painkillers, expressing remorse for bringing shame and dishonor upon his loved ones.    Judge Clifton Newman, who presided over the murder trial that resulted in Murdaugh's life sentence without parole for killing his wife, Maggie, and younger son, Paul, in June 2021, accepted the plea deal for the financial crimes. Newman described Murdaugh as having "the emptiest soul" he had encountered in his 23 years on the bench.    Despite Murdaugh's persistent claims of innocence in the murder case, his lawyers are seeking a new trial, alleging jury tampering by the court clerk. A different judge will decide whether to grant a hearing to question jurors, the clerk, and potentially Judge Newman under oath.    The sentencing for Murdaugh's financial crimes serves as a precautionary measure to prevent his release if his murder conviction is ever overturned. Under South Carolina law, he will have to serve nearly 23 years of the sentence, even with good behavior, before becoming eligible for release, making him 76 years old upon potential release. As part of the deal, Murdaugh relinquished his rights to appeal.    The courtroom proceedings mark another chapter in the stunning fall from grace of Alex Murdaugh, once a legal luminary, whose alleged crimes have garnered attention in true crime podcasts and online discussions. His case continues as he awaits sentencing on federal financial crime charges and faces additional local charges related to insurance fraud.    While Murdaugh expressed remorse during the hearing and offered apologies to his victims, the enduring impact of his actions on the lives of those he defrauded remains a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of betrayal and deceit within the legal profession.

In a Beaufort County courtroom just a mile from the picturesque Lowcountry waterfront where his downfall began, former prominent lawyer Alex Murdaugh received a 27-year prison sentence for a series of financial crimes that shook South Carolina. The sentencing marked a somber end to a saga that had gripped the state, leaving victims grappling with betrayal and unanswered questions.    The sentencing was a culmination of the legal proceedings that unfolded in Charleston, Columbia, Walterboro, and York, involving cases of fraud victims in Allendale, Bamberg, and Orangeburg. The charges against Murdaugh ranged from embezzlement to theft, resulting in the loss of millions for individuals who had placed their trust in him during their most vulnerable moments.    Judge Clifton Newman, addressing Murdaugh, remarked, "I don't know that you know yourself. Hopefully, something will emerge within your spirit, within your soul." Unlike his life sentences for murder, Murdaugh's prison term is non-appealable under the terms of his plea deal, ensuring he remains incarcerated until his mid-70s.    During the sentencing hearing, victims confronted Murdaugh, expressing their pain and confusion over his actions. Jordan Jinks, a childhood friend, asked, "What kind of animal are you?" Pamela Pinckney offered forgiveness but expressed her disbelief, saying, "I never thought you would do me the way you did me."    Ginger Hadwin, a former classmate, questioned how Murdaugh could steal from her nephews after her sister had helped raise his children as the family's housekeeper. Initially offering short responses, Murdaugh gradually softened and expressed gratitude for forgiveness.    He later spoke to the court, addressing his victims for nearly an hour, admitting his deception and expressing regret. He pledged to make amends in the future, acknowledging their trust in him.    However, Murdaugh's legal battles are far from over. He vehemently denies the murder charges related to his wife and younger son, and his financial crime sentence has no bearing on these convictions. He faces additional sentencing for nearly two dozen financial crimes in federal court and pending state charges related to an alleged suicide plot in 2021.   Moreover, the division of Murdaugh's known assets remains unresolved, with over a dozen people filing claims totaling at least $100 million. Negotiations are ongoing to determine where to allocate the last $1.8 million of his remaining assets.   In a rare display of remorse, Murdaugh apologized to his surviving son, Buster, for tarnishing the family name "on social media and in the media" and damaging the reputation of the century-old law firm his family had founded. He wanted to move on and make those who love him proud again.   However, it appears that Murdaugh's family has distanced themselves from him, as none of them were present in Beaufort for his sentencing.   Alex Murdaugh's fall from grace, once a scion of a prominent legal dynasty, is a stark reminder of the consequences of financial misconduct, leaving a trail of shattered trust and unanswered questions.

The child abuse case involving Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt has prompted Senator David Hinkins to advocate for enhanced oversight of life coaches across Utah. Hinkins believes that the state must take a more proactive role in regulating this industry to protect families and individuals seeking guidance.    The impetus for Hinkins' call for action came from Ruby Franke's estranged husband, Kevin, who approached the lawmaker, urging him to investigate the qualifications required to become a life coach. Shockingly, Hinkins discovered that there are no mandatory qualifications, creating a concern that unqualified life coaches may be adversely affecting families for an extended period.    One alarming aspect highlighted by the case is the potentially misleading titles used by life coaches. The Connexions Classroom website, which remains operational, describes Ruby Franke as a "certified mental fitness trainer." Sen. Hinkins expressed concern over such titles, stating, "It's just a title that somebody could make up and makes it sound professional, when it's really probably not."    Furthermore, while some online classes offer what they call "mental fitness training," state law currently allows individuals like Franke to use such titles without any mandatory background training or qualifications. Hinkins emphasized, "I don't think there's anything that stops her from saying that, and I don't know that she's had any background training to be that."    Former clients of Connexions Classroom have accused Franke and company founder Jodi Hildebrandt of employing shaming tactics designed to create divisions within families. One client, Trey Warner, shared a disturbing example, where a man believed he was a danger to his family merely because he had a momentary lapse of concentration. Warner recalled, "This guy got his own apartment and separated from his family because he was a 'danger.'"    The critical issue at hand is the lack of regulations and standards governing life coaches in Utah. Sen. Hinkins highlighted this gap, stating, "Right now, there's nothing regulating [them]. They can tell people to do anything they want, and there's no recourse." He believes that individuals professing to be life coaches should be subject to criteria to establish credibility and protect the well-being of their clients.    Officials from the Utah Division of Professional Licensing declined an on-camera interview but sent a text response, acknowledging the absence of licensure requirements for life coaches in the state. They noted that some complaints involve former licensed behavioral health practitioners who lost their licenses and now operate as life coaches, providing services that may be illegal.    Sen. Hinkins clarified that the bill he intends to draft is in its early stages and aims to strike a balance between providing oversight and ensuring that people can offer advice to their family members when requested. He plans to collaborate closely with the Utah Division of Professional Licensing to develop effective legislation that addresses these concerns.    The child abuse case involving Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt has underscored the need for clearer standards and oversight within the life coaching industry, as Utah seeks to protect its residents from potentially harmful advice and practices.

A newly announced docuseries by Peacock, focusing on the ex-wife and family of suspected Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann, has ignited a firestorm of controversy. The project, which has drawn the involvement of 50 Cent's G-Unit Productions, has raised concerns from authorities and outraged some families of potential victims tied to the case.    Camera crews have been actively filming at the residence of Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's ex-wife, and have even followed her to one of Heuermann's recent court hearings. Ellerup, who is central to the docuseries, is reportedly being compensated for her participation, though the exact sum remains undisclosed. Speculation suggests she could receive as much as $1 million, with additional payments allocated to her lawyer and her children's attorney. Notably, G-Unit Productions and Peacock have not yet responded to requests for comments on this matter.    Departing Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison expressed his discontent, stating, "This docuseries is a smack at the family members who lost a loved one." Suffolk County prosecutor Ray Tierney also voiced concerns, suggesting that the project could impact Ellerup's credibility, particularly if she is called to testify in the case. Despite Ellerup not facing any charges and being out of town during the killings, investigators have uncovered potential ties to the case. A woman recently reported meeting Heuermann and Ellerup at their home in 1996 for a sex party, along with Karen Vergata, who disappeared and was later found deceased near Gilgo Beach in 2011. Furthermore, strands of Ellerup's hair found near the family home were inadvertently linked to Heuermann and the crime scene.    Ellerup's lawyer, Robert Macedonio, maintains her innocence, emphasizing that she is not privy to any details beyond what the media has reported. Macedonio stated, "She wants to believe that the spouse she's been married to for 27 years wasn't capable of these crimes. She wants to see and hear the evidence as it plays out in the courtroom." Prosecutor Tierney, however, questioned Ellerup's motives, suggesting that she might be trying to capitalize on her husband's notoriety, potentially driven by financial incentives.    In contrast, John Ray, a lawyer representing the families of two women whose remains were found on Gilgo Beach, believes Ellerup should be treated as a suspect and thoroughly investigated. He cautioned that anything she discloses to the film crew "can be used against her criminally," emphasizing that she remains within the circle of suspicion.    Sherre Gilbert, the sister of Shannan Gilbert, whose disappearance led to the discovery of other bodies on Gilgo Beach, expressed her strong opposition to the docuseries. In a social media post, she expressed disappointment and frustration, condemning the media for exploiting the families and victims of serial killers. Gilbert criticized the Ellerup's reported payday and called out all entities that have profited from her family's story while her own struggles persisted.   In addition to the Peacock project focusing on Ellerup, Netflix is also preparing a docuseries about Heuermann's arrest and the unsolved murders along Gilgo Beach. The series, directed by Liz Garbus, will examine the case against Heuermann and the unsettling disconnect between the three murders he has been charged with and the nearly dozen corpses discovered on Gilgo Beach.    Rex Heuermann, who was arrested in July, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. The docuseries developments surrounding his ex-wife and family have added a new layer of intrigue and controversy to the ongoing investigation into these horrific crimes.

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who is serving a lengthy prison sentence for the killing of George Floyd, was stabbed by a fellow prisoner at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona, according to sources. The attack, which occurred on Friday afternoon, has raised concerns about communication with Chauvin's family and attorneys.    Chauvin, who became infamous for his role in the death of George Floyd, was seriously injured in the assault, but he is expected to survive, as reported by the Associated Press. The Minnesota Attorney General's office later confirmed the incident, and Attorney General Keith Ellison expressed his sadness over the violence.    “I am sad to hear that Derek Chauvin was the target of violence,” said Ellison in a statement. “He was duly convicted of his crimes and, like any incarcerated individual, he should be able to serve his sentence without fear of retaliation or violence.”    Gregory M. Erickson, an attorney representing Chauvin, expressed outrage over the lack of communication regarding Chauvin's condition. Erickson stated that Chauvin's family members were not informed promptly after the stabbing, raising concerns about their ability to stay updated on his well-being.    "As an outsider, I view this lack of communication with his attorneys and family members as completely outrageous," Erickson remarked, highlighting the need for transparency and prompt updates on Chauvin's situation.    The Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an attack had occurred but did not disclose the identity of the inmate involved. They mentioned that employees took "life-saving measures" to assist Chauvin before he was transported to a hospital. Multiple unnamed sources cited by ABC News indicated that Chauvin was expected to survive the attack.    Chauvin's current attorney, William Mohrman, has not provided an immediate comment on the incident. Previously, Eric Nelson, Chauvin's former attorney, had sought to have him placed in solitary confinement for his own protection during his time in the Minnesota state prison.    The stabbing incident took place shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Derek Chauvin's appeal against his murder conviction. Chauvin had been found guilty of murder in April 2021 by a state-level jury, resulting in a 22-year sentence. In December of the same year, a federal court found him guilty of violating George Floyd's civil rights, adding 21 more years to his sentence.    The attack on Chauvin has ignited discussions about the safety and security of high-profile inmates and the need for transparent communication with their legal representatives and families. As Chauvin continues to serve his sentence, questions surrounding his safety within the prison system persist.    The incident serves as a reminder of the deep-seated emotions and tensions surrounding the case of George Floyd's death, which prompted massive Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 and led to Chauvin's convictions. As the legal process unfolds, Chauvin's attorneys, family, and supporters will undoubtedly closely monitor his condition and security. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Keith Jesperson, the notorious "Happy Face Killer" who is serving multiple life sentences for the murders of eight women, has reportedly been corresponding with Rex Heuermann, a man accused of being the Gilgo Beach Killer. The two men are currently incarcerated, and Jesperson has been offering Heuermann advice on how to handle his case. According to the Daily Mail, which obtained some of the correspondence, Jesperson has been urging Heuermann to confess to the murders of three sex workers. Jesperson believes this would be the best course of action for Heuermann, as it would allow him to avoid a trial and the media attention that would come with it. Keith Jesperson, a convicted serial killer who is serving multiple life sentences in prison, has been corresponding with Rex Heuermann, a man accused of being the Gilgo Beach Killer.  Jesperson has been advising Heuermann on how to handle his case, suggesting that he confess to the murders and avoid a trial. In a letter to Heuermann, Jesperson wrote, "The message I'm sending him is to own it." He also said that Heuermann should confess to avoid the spectacle of a trial and to try to get to prison quickly, where conditions would be better than in jail. Heuermann thanked Jesperson for his advice and said he is considering it. "I do understand what you have said and taken it to heart," Heuermann wrote back. In addition to advising Heuermann on how to handle his case, Jesperson has also been offering him insights into life in prison. He has told Heuermann that prison food is better than jail food, and he has also offered to provide Heuermann with other information about prison life. Heuermann has expressed his gratitude to Jesperson for his help. "They have been a help and comfort to me," Heuermann wrote in one letter. It is still unclear whether or not Heuermann will follow Jesperson's advice and confess to the murders. However, Jesperson's correspondence with Heuermann is sure to raise questions about the relationship between serial killers and the justice system. Heuermann is currently awaiting trial for the murders of three sex workers. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, but Jesperson believes he should be honest about what he did.  Only time will tell what the outcome of Heuermann's case will be. However, Jesperson's advice has made an impact on Heuermann, and it is possible that it could ultimately influence his decision-making process. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

More than a month after the tragic stabbing death of 51-year-old Parwiz Assar in Northern California, arrests have finally been made in a case that involved incriminating evidence, surveillance video, and a Selena Gomez song as crucial pieces of evidence. Hayward Police, who have been diligently investigating the case, announced significant developments in the murder investigation.    On October 8, 2022, Hayward Police responded to a distressing report of an assault with a deadly weapon on the street and discovered Parwiz Assar suffering from stab wounds outside his home. Tragically, Assar was declared dead by medical personnel at the scene. The case took a complex turn as investigators began to uncover evidence that led them beyond the borders of California.    Authorities traced the evidence to Seattle, where they arrested 21-year-old Samim Azizi. He is being held without bail at the King County Jail, awaiting extradition to California. In Hayward, about two weeks after Azizi's arrest, Assar's wife, 35-year-old Razma Mohammad-Ibrahim, was taken into custody and is now held without bail at the Santa Rita County Jail.    The unfolding narrative behind this crime is one of marital problems and an alleged extramarital affair. Parwiz Assar and Razma Mohammad-Ibrahim had been married for approximately 12 years, but their relationship had become strained over time. Police reported that Mohammad-Ibrahim and Samim Azizi had met around December 2022 and subsequently became romantically involved. Authorities suspect that the two had plotted to kill Assar so that Mohammad-Ibrahim could end her marriage, be with Azizi, gain full custody of her children, and control family assets.    The investigation unearthed a multitude of evidence implicating the suspects, including surveillance video, internet searches, and an alleged text message from Azizi to Mohammad-Ibrahim indicating the selection of a "strong" knife for the attack.    On the fateful night of the assault, Assar's Ring doorbell camera captured footage of a masked assailant leaping from a bush to attack him as he approached his front door. Hours after the attack, a friend of Assar's informed the police that Assar had expressed fears that his wife was planning to harm him, prompting concerns for his safety.    The investigation also revealed a chilling detail: on the very day Parwiz Assar was killed, a post on his wife's Instagram account included the Selena Gomez song "Single Soon," raising unsettling questions about the timing and intent behind the message.    According to the police, Parwiz Assar and Razma Mohammad-Ibrahim had young children, who are currently in the care of other family members.    This case was successfully resolved through a collaborative effort involving multiple agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service, the Renton Police Department, the Washington State Crime Lab, and the Washington State Department of Corrections, working alongside the Hayward Police Department.    Hayward, located approximately 30 miles southeast of San Francisco, has been gripped by this tragic incident, and Acting Chief Bryan Matthews expressed appreciation for the investigative work that led to the arrests. "Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Mr. Assar as they continue to grieve during this difficult time," Chief Matthews stated.    The arrests bring a glimmer of closure to a case that has captured the community's attention and raised questions about the complexity of human relationships and the role of technology in modern crime investigations.

California equestrian Tatyana Remley, is currently behind bars after allegedly attempting multiple times to hire hitmen to kill her estranged husband, Mark Remley. According to a statement from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, Remley is charged with solicitation of murder and two weapons charges. She is currently being held without bail at the Las Colinas Detention Facility in Santee, California, and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.  The Sheriff's Department launched an investigation into Remley’s suspicious activities following a house fire at the ranch owned by the couple in Del Mar, California. Mark Remley claimed to The Coast News that Tatyana intentionally set fire to their home after he allegedly discovered her plan to kill him in early July. However, in the divorce papers filed in July, Tatyana stated that she and a friend were present at the time of the fire but were unaware of its origin.     Mark also claimed that Tatyana offered a mutual friend $2 million to kill him. However, the friend declined the offer and informed Mark, who then reported the incident to the police, instigating a sting operation. The Sheriff’s office confirmed that they summoned an arson unit to the fire scene, and Tatyana was initially arrested for alleged "firearms-related offenses" after officers discovered three firearms and ammunition on her. Following this, an investigation into her alleged murder-for-hire plot commenced after receiving information about her intentions.     A month after the initial investigation began, Tatyana met with an undercover officer, believing him to be a hitman. According to the Sheriff's Department, "She provided detailed information on how she wanted her husband killed and his body disposed." Additionally, Tatyana brought three firearms and US currency as a down payment for the murder. The meetup and subsequent arrest occurred at a local Starbucks, as reported by The Coast News.     The Coast News has extensively reported on the Remleys' high-profile business failures. In 2012, the couple ran a short-lived equestrian acrobatics show, which they discontinued after only four shows and over $100,000 of investments. They claimed the show was canceled due to poor ticket sales. However, this decision left dozens of performers unpaid and stranded, along with their horses. Some crew members stated that they had uprooted their lives to travel across the country and join the production, initially planned as a five-city tour.      The Remleys married in 2011, and their relationship has reportedly been tumultuous in recent years, marked by numerous separations and reconciliations.  The arrest of Tatyana Remley for allegedly attempting to hire hitmen to murder her estranged husband has sent shockwaves through the community. With a history of business failures, a tumultuous relationship, and now charges of solicitation of murder and weapons offenses, the saga of the Remleys' relationship seems far from over. As Tatyana prepares for her upcoming court appearance, many questions remain unanswered about what led to this dark chapter in their lives. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A former beauty queen's life dramatically transformed from the pageant stage to the courtroom with the latest revelations of her involvement in a nefarious murder plot that rocked the serene islands of the Bahamas.     Lindsay Shiver, the former Miss Houston County and second runner-up in the National Peanut Festival pageant, as reported by WDHN-TV, was arrested along with two co-conspirators, Terrance Bethel and Faron Newbold, on charges of conspiracy to commit murder. At the heart of this scandal is an alleged illicit affair and an intricate murder plot aimed at her husband, Robert Shiver, a one-time Atlanta Falcons player and prominent local figure.     According to the Bahamas Court News, the three were taken into custody in late July following an investigation into a separate incident at a local bar in Guana Cay. The investigators stumbled upon a trove of damning evidence in the form of WhatsApp messages exchanged between the trio that reportedly outlined their meticulously planned attempt to murder Robert Shiver. Bethel, 28, is reported to be Lindsay's lover, further complicating the narrative.     The police report, referenced by the Thomasville Times-Enterprise, states that on July 16, 2023, the threesome "while being together did, with a common purpose agree to commit an offense, namely the murder of [Robert] Shiver." This damning evidence was unearthed during the investigation and has since cast a dark cloud over the usually peaceful islands of Abaco.     Lindsay and Robert Shiver owned a home in the Bahamas, a locale in which she allegedly began her extra-marital affair with Bethel. Robert Shiver, on becoming aware of this betrayal, promptly filed for divorce. In his filings, which were reported by CNN, he cited his wife's "adulterous conduct" as the main reason for their marital breakdown. Lindsay, in her retort, claimed that she had "incurred debt beyond her means to pay" and sought financial assistance from her husband.     In a dramatic turn of events, the former beauty queen and her alleged accomplices were granted bail. Lindsay Shiver's bail was set at a hefty $100,000, while Bethel and Newbold's bail amounted to $20,000 each. Intriguingly, it was Robert Shiver who came forward to bail the three suspects out of jail on August 1, as reported by Bahamas Court News.     After their release, stringent measures have been implemented to ensure the three suspects remain within the law's reach. Lindsay Shiver has been fitted with an ankle monitor and ordered to stay within the boundaries of the Bahamas until her next court appearance, slated for October 5. Bethel and Newbold have also been fitted with tracking devices and are required to report to Marsh Harbour Police on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays before 6 p.m., ensuring a close watch is kept on their movements.     Lindsay Shiver, who once held the title of Miss Houston County in 2005, now finds herself embroiled in a scandal that has marred her reputation. In contrast, her estranged husband, Robert Shiver, a former Auburn University football player who also spent a brief period on the Atlanta Falcons roster, has reportedly returned to his home in Thomasville.     As this sensational case unfolds, the Bahamas, often a haven of tranquility and idyllic beauty, has been thrust into the spotlight for a scandal that reads like a crime thriller. The truth behind these allegations will unravel in the coming months. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a significant development in the highly publicized quadruple university student murder case, Idaho District Judge John Judge has granted defendant Bryan Kohberger's request to remove media cameras from the courtroom. However, the proceedings will continue to be accessible to the public through a court-provided live stream on Judge John Judge's YouTube channel.    The decision to limit media camera access follows months of intense scrutiny and coverage of the case. Judge John Judge justified this move, citing concerns about the overwhelming focus on Bryan Kohberger and the resulting negative headlines and news articles. He believes that the continuous photographing and video coverage of Kohberger's actions inside the courtroom should cease.    In his ruling, Judge stated, "It is the intense focus on Kohberger and his every move, along with adverse headlines and news articles, that leads the Court to conclude that continued photograph and video coverage inside the courtroom by the media should no longer be permitted."    The court's decision also includes restrictions on members of the media and the public. They will no longer be allowed to record their video or audio during future hearings. Instead, a court-provided livestream will be available for public access through Judge John Judge's YouTube channel. Additionally, Judge denied a motion by a media coalition to intervene in the case.    Judge John Judge expressed frustration with the media's past behavior, accusing them of violating his previous directives. He specifically mentioned the media's tendency to exclusively zoom in on Kohberger's face and record before or after court sessions, contrary to his requests.    "Additionally, defense counsel has raised continued concerns with video footage and photographs capturing private documents on counsel table. This is again in violation of the Court’s directives," Judge wrote. "The State has also raised issues of vulnerable victims and witnesses being filmed during testimony. At this juncture, the Court has no confidence that directives to stop photographing or videoing during such testimony would be adhered to."    The case revolves around Bryan Kohberger, who stands accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in a brutal attack that occurred in a rental home where three of the victims lived. The victims, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, all 21, and Ethan Chapin, 20, suffered multiple stab wounds during the attack. Some of them were asleep at the start of the incident, and investigators found a knife sheath with the suspect's DNA under one victim's body.    Bryan Kohberger, who is about to turn 29, was pursuing a Ph.D. in criminology at Washington State University at the time of the crime. He holds a master's degree in criminal justice from DeSales University in Pennsylvania.    During his arraignment in May, Kohberger declined to enter a plea. As a result, Judge John Judge entered not guilty pleas on his behalf on four charges of first-degree murder and one charge of felony burglary. If convicted, Kohberger could potentially face the death penalty, specifically execution by firing squad, under Idaho law.    As the case proceeds with heightened public attention, the court's decision to limit media camera access aims to ensure a fair trial while reducing the intense media focus surrounding Bryan Kohberger and the quadruple student murder case.

Donna Adelson, 73, the fifth individual arrested in connection with the nearly decade-old murder of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel, has arrived in Tallahassee to face charges related to the case. Her arrival comes after a recent arrest attempt at Miami International Airport, where she and her husband attempted to leave the country.    Donna Adelson, who had been held in the Miami-Dade Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, was transported to the Leon County Detention Facility on Monday. She is currently being held without bond and was officially booked on Tuesday, according to online jail records.    Her arrest took place on November 13, less than a week after her son, Charlie Adelson, was convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation in the murder of Dan Markel. Charlie Adelson faces a mandatory life sentence for his involvement in the murder of his former brother-in-law.    Dan Markel, a 41-year-old law professor, was fatally shot in the garage of his Trescott Drive home on July 18, 2014. The murder occurred in the midst of a contentious legal battle between Markel and his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, Donna Adelson's daughter, over custody of their two sons and other related matters. A judge had denied Wendi Adelson's request to relocate with the children to Miami.    Donna Adelson had been under scrutiny by law enforcement for her potential involvement in the case. Recorded jail calls between her and her son revealed discussions about possible suicide or fleeing to a non-extradition country. In 2016, an FBI undercover agent posed as a blackmailer and approached her with an article about Markel's killing, leading to further suspicions.    During this encounter, known as the "bump," Donna Adelson called her son, hinting at the significance of the encounter. She also signed multiple checks totaling $18,000 from the family's dental practice, which were given to Katie Magbanua, who was dating Charlie Adelson at the time of the murder, despite Magbanua not actually working at the practice.    The probable cause affidavit in the case detailed that Donna and her husband, Harvey Adelson, a retired dentist, had promised to arrange an interview with the Tallahassee Police Department's lead investigator at Markel's local memorial in 2014. However, they left Tallahassee with Wendi and the grandchildren the following day without fulfilling their promise. Subsequently, no one from the Adelson family contacted the police or inquired about the status of the investigation. In July 2015, Wendi Adelson changed her children's surname from Markel to Adelson.    Donna Adelson's arrival in Tallahassee marks a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the murder of Dan Markel. As the case unfolds, authorities aim to establish her role in the alleged conspiracy. The Adelson family's involvement in this high-profile case has garnered widespread attention, and legal experts anticipate a complex legal battle ahead.    This arrest serves as a reminder of law enforcement's persistent efforts to bring those responsible for Dan Markel's murder to justice. The case's complexity and the involvement of multiple individuals continue to captivate public interest nearly a decade after the tragic incident occurred.

In a surprising turn of events, the family of alleged Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann is set to receive an astounding seven-figure sum for their participation in a documentary series. The production, helmed by Peacock, will closely follow Heuermann's family as they navigate the impending trial and the profound impact his alleged crimes have had on their lives.    Rex Heuermann, the prime suspect in a series of gruesome killings of sex workers between 2010 and 2011, is currently facing trial for the murders of Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, and Amber Lynn Costello. Their remains were discovered on Long Island's Gilgo Beach. Heuermann is also suspected in the death of 25-year-old Maureen Brainard-Barnes and other unidentified victims.    Peacock's documentary project has raised eyebrows as it promises an unprecedented glimpse into the life of a suspected serial killer's family. As part of their involvement, Heuermann's estranged wife, Asa Ellerup, and their adult children, Christopher and Victoria, will receive no less than $1 million for sharing their experiences.    The decision to participate in the documentary reportedly stems from the family's dire financial situation caused by the alleged crimes committed by Heuermann. Their attorney, Robert Macedonio, is expected to earn $400,000 for his legal services, while Vess Mitev, who represents Victoria and Christopher, reportedly secured a $200,000 agreement.    The documentary will provide exclusive access to the family's journey throughout Heuermann's trial and its aftermath. An insider close to the production revealed, "They will be filmed throughout the trial and after the trial's outcome. The family will tell their entire story and everything about their life with Heuermann exclusively to the documentary filmmakers."    Senior story editor Paula Froelich of NewsNation shared insights into Asa Ellerup's decision to participate, stating, "There's a reason why she hasn't talked to the media at all because she has signed a major deal with the documentary crew."    Film crews have been observed following the family as they attended Heuermann's indictment hearing, a reminder of the high-stakes legal battle ahead. The accused murderer is currently being held in jail pending his trial, the date of which remains undetermined.    News of the Heuermann family's substantial financial gain from their documentary participation has sparked controversy and outrage on social media. Concerns have been raised about the apparent focus on the family's financial compensation while the victims' families remain in the shadows.    One person took to social media, asking, "Where are the offers for the families of victims of #TheLongIslandSerialKiller #LISK? Where is an empathetic approach for them to share their experiences…?...the disgust watching you all in the media profit from it?"    As the documentary project unfolds and Rex Heuermann's trial progresses, more questions will likely be raised about the ethics and implications of such a production. The case continues to be a point of public interest, with many hoping for justice for the victims and their families as the legal proceedings unfold. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Shanna Gardner, the Florida woman facing first-degree murder charges for her alleged involvement in the murder of Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan, was captured on camera months before her arrest, sharing a tearful account of how she and Jared's second wife, Kirsten, broke the devastating news to their children. Gardner, who has hired prominent defense attorney Jose Baez, had previously spoken to Action Jax, expressing shock at her ex-husband's death and proclaiming her innocence.    In a heart-wrenching interview, Gardner recounted the emotional moment when they informed the children about Jared Bridegan's tragic demise. "It was a very quick visit," Gardner revealed, "And we just wanted it very clear that this is to honor his memory. We didn't want too many details. … I think we all can agree that we love the kids, and they needed to be the priority."    A year later, Gardner faces severe legal consequences as she stands accused of engineering her ex-husband's murder, which took place in February 2022. On that fateful day, Jared Bridegan had just dropped off their twins at Gardner's Jacksonville Beach residence when he encountered a tire blocking his path. Tragically, he was shot multiple times while investigating the obstruction, with his 2-year-old daughter with Kirsten in the backseat.    Gardner's involvement in a bruising custody battle with Jared at the time raised suspicions. To counter these whispers, she gave an interview to "Action Jax" TV station in June 2022, where she vehemently declared her innocence. Recent excerpts from this interview have been released, revealing Gardner's emotional state as she discussed the murder she is now accused of initiating.    "I found out in the middle of the night," Gardner said, reflecting on her ex-husband's death. "I was shocked." Her emotions also spilled over when she spoke about the impact of the tragedy on their children, stating, "I can't imagine as children what that kind of news would mean, to have to process that. Much less something that they love, their father."    Gardner additionally reminisced about her initial encounter with Jared Bridegan, whom she would later be charged with killing. She revealed they were set up on a blind date in Salt Lake City two decades ago, leading to a fast-paced relationship and eventual marriage. "We got married soon after dating. Within a couple of years, we had twins. Any time kids come into the mix, it's a lot," Gardner said.    The legal ramifications of the case have extended beyond Gardner, as her new husband, Mario Fernandez, and a former tenant, Henry Tenon, have also been charged in connection with Jared's murder. The case has garnered significant attention due to the involvement of a prominent Microsoft executive, the emotional toll on the children, and Gardner's hiring of Jose Baez, known for securing an acquittal for Casey Anthony.    As the legal proceedings continue, the community remains gripped by the tragic events surrounding Jared Bridegan's death, and the questions surrounding his murder remain unanswered.

Prosecutors in the high-profile murder case of Chad Daybell are urging a judge to move the trial from Ada County back to eastern Idaho due to extensive media coverage and potential challenges in selecting an impartial jury.*    Chad Daybell faces multiple charges, including conspiracy to commit murder and first-degree murder, in connection with the deaths of 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and his first wife, Tammy Daybell. The trial is scheduled to commence on April 1, but concerns about the influence of media coverage on jury selection have prompted prosecutors to seek a change of venue.    In a motion filed on Wednesday, Fremont County Prosecuting Attorney Lindsey Blake and Madison County Prosecuting Attorney Rob Wood argued that "local media and community participation in Ada County itself was pervasive and extensive," making it difficult to secure an impartial jury.    They emphasized that Chad Daybell's property, where all three victims' bodies were discovered, is situated in Fremont County. Therefore, they contend that a fair and unbiased jury can be found there, especially since Lori Vallow Daybell's trial, Chad's co-defendant, took place in Ada County. The extensive media coverage during Lori's trial and the potential influence it may have on jurors in Ada County are significant concerns.    Prosecutors also referenced the role of East Idaho News, highlighting its national and international reach and its impact on coverage of the case. They noted that extensive interviews, statements, and live news coverage were conducted outside the courthouse during Lori's trial, adding to the media frenzy.    To address these concerns, prosecutors have asked the judge, District Judge Steven Boyce, to either relocate the trial back to Fremont County or consider a venue that is "closer, less saturated, and less expensive."    In a separate motion, prosecutors renewed their objection to allowing cameras in the courtroom during Chad Daybell's trial. While John Prior, Daybell's defense attorney, has advocated for a public trial, prosecutors expressed worries about the prejudicial pretrial publicity that cameras might generate.    "Excessive prejudicial pretrial publicity will negatively impact the parties’ right to trial created by the improper use of camera and audiovisual equipment in sensitive pretrial hearings," wrote Prosecuting Attorney Lindsey Blake. She raised concerns that the extensive media coverage and trial of Lori Daybell have already affected the ability to select a fair and impartial jury in Ada County.    Prosecutors also highlighted the potential complications in jury selection and the potential impact on witness testimony that may arise from having cameras in the courtroom.    A hearing to address these motions, including the request for trial relocation and the objection to cameras in the courtroom, is scheduled for November 29 in Fremont County. The outcome of these proceedings will determine the location and the level of media presence during Chad Daybell's upcoming trial. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Kaitlin Armstrong has been sentenced to 90 years in prison and fined $10,000 for the first-degree murder of professional cyclist Anna Moriah "Mo" Wilson. After deliberating for several hours following Armstrong's guilty verdict, the jury reached this decision.*    The courtroom was filled with tension and emotion as Kaitlin Armstrong received her sentence for the murder of Anna Moriah 'Mo' Wilson. The jury's decision, which came a day after finding her guilty of first-degree murder, carries a 90-year prison term and a significant financial penalty.    Anna Moriah Wilson, a promising gravel racer, was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds at a friend's home in Austin, Texas, on May 11, 2022, in what appeared to be a targeted homicide. Her tragic death shocked the community, leading to a lengthy trial that culminated in Armstrong's sentencing.    Prosecutors urged the jury to consider the calculated nature of the murder and Armstrong's attempt to evade justice, along with the profound impact of Wilson's murder on her family and friend, Caitlin Cash, who found Wilson injured in her home.    State attorney Guillermo Gonzalez asked the jurors to start with a minimum sentence of 40 years in prison, stating, "The fact that this was a calculated crime and the defendant's attempt to flee should be taken into account in the sentencing decision."    During the two-day sentencing hearing, the court heard poignant testimonies from members of Wilson's grief-stricken family. Her mother, Karen Wilson, described her daughter as "a unique person who accomplished a lifetime of achievements in 25 years." Her brother, Matthew Wilson, expressed the pain of losing his "closest confidant."    The defense presented witnesses, including Armstrong's father and sister, but did not make a specific recommendation for the sentence. Armstrong's father, Mike Armstrong, expressed condolences to the Wilson family, acknowledging the severity of their loss.    Throughout the weeks-long trial, prosecutors presented a compelling case against Armstrong, including video, cellphone, ballistic, and DNA evidence. They asserted that Armstrong had access to her then-boyfriend's communications with Wilson and could track Wilson's location through a fitness app. A DNA expert testified that there was "very strong support" for the presence of Armstrong's DNA on Wilson's bicycle.    Furthermore, prosecutors presented evidence indicating that Armstrong's vehicle was seen near the scene of the crime on the night of the homicide, and that her firearm was used in the murder.    Rick Jones, a Travis County prosecutor, emphasized that only Kaitlin Armstrong fit the facts presented in the case. However, the defense argued that Armstrong was "trapped in a nightmare of circumstantial evidence" and criticized the police for not investigating other potential suspects.    Armstrong, who had pleaded not guilty, did not testify in her own defense during the trial.    Following her police interview about Wilson's murder, Armstrong sold her Jeep and fled to Costa Rica. She evaded authorities for 43 days before being arrested at a hostel on Santa Teresa Beach in Provincia de Puntarenas. Prosecutors revealed that just days before her arrest, Armstrong spent a substantial sum on plastic surgery.    In addition to the murder charge, Armstrong faced accusations of attempting to escape custody before the trial began. She was charged with escape causing bodily injury, a felony, after briefly evading corrections officers during transport to a medical appointment.    Kaitlin Armstrong's sentencing marks the end of a high-profile case that has captivated the public's attention and left a community grappling with the loss of a talented cyclist and the consequences of a devastating crime.

The decades-old mystery surrounding the death of a woman found nearly decapitated in Provincetown has finally been solved. Investigators have officially closed the case of the woman, known for nearly 50 years as the "Lady of the Dunes," after identifying her as Ruth Marie Terry and naming her husband, Guy Muldavin, as the suspect in her murder.    In a significant breakthrough made in October 2022, the FBI positively identified the "Lady of the Dunes" as Ruth Marie Terry. Her body was discovered in a sand dune on July 26, 1974, with her hands cut off and her head nearly severed from her body. The investigators used investigative genealogy to identify Terry, a resident of Tennessee. The FBI revealed that Terry had suffered a blow to the head and was most likely killed several weeks before her body was discovered.    The Massachusetts State Police took over the investigation from Provincetown Police in 1982. Terry's skull, which was kept in police custody and not buried with her other remains, was sent to labs for testing. In 2021, Othram was able to create a DNA profile that eventually led to a positive identification. The Chief Medical Examiner's Office issued Terry's death certificate on April 5.    The investigation then turned to Terry's husband, Guy Muldavin. The couple got married in Reno, Nevada, in either 1973 or 1974, and traveled to Tennessee to visit Terry's family. Muldavin and Terry traveled together in the summer of 1974, but Muldavin returned alone. He indicated to witnesses that Terry had passed away but told her brother that they had a fight during their honeymoon and he had not heard from her again.    The District Attorney's Office revealed that Muldavin was also believed to be the prime suspect in the disappearance of his ex-wife and stepdaughter in Seattle in 1960. Investigators determined that Muldavin was responsible for Terry's death in 1974.    Muldavin, who also went by the names Raoul Guy Rockwell and Guy Muldavin Rockwell, died in 2002. In November 2022, Massachusetts State Police announced they were seeking information about him. Detectives investigated the 1960 disappearance of his wife and stepdaughter and later found human remains in the septic tank of their home. Although Muldavin was arrested for unlawful flight and convicted of grand larceny, he was never charged in relation to the Seattle killings.    A news article dated December 1, 1960, reported that Muldavin was arrested in New York City after the mutilated bodies of Manzanina Mearns and her 18-year-old daughter, Dolores Ann Mearns, were found in the septic tank. The article noted that detectives found dismembered remains and other parts of human tissue. Dolores and Manzanita disappeared on April 1, 1960.    Muldavin was 78 years old when he died.    The resolution of this case brings a measure of closure to a mystery that has perplexed investigators for decades. Although Muldavin was never brought to justice for his crimes, the identification of Ruth Marie Terry and the determination of her killer have finally shed light on the dark events of the past.

Exactly one week after a wealthy Florida dentist, Charlie Adelson, was convicted of killing his sister’s husband, Dan Markel, his mother, Donna Adelson, 73, has been arrested in connection with the 2014 murder. The arrest took place at Miami Dade International Airport, where Donna Adelson and her husband, Harvey Adelson, were about to board a flight to Vietnam with a stop in Dubai.    Donna Adelson was charged in connection with the shooting death of Dan Markel, a 41-year-old Florida State University law professor. She has been charged with murder, conspiracy, and solicitation, according to State Attorney Jack Campbell.    Campbell explained the urgency of Donna's arrest, stating, "That's what forced our hand. We started talking to some of our law enforcement partners about the complexities of bringing someone back from Dubai or Vietnam. And that might be a very complicated and lengthy process. So that’s why we had to make a decision quickly."    Prosecutors allege that Donna Adelson played a role in the murder-for-hire plot that resulted in the death of Dan Markel on July 18, 2014. Markel was shot twice in the head at point-blank range in the garage of his Tallahassee home. He was sitting in his car, talking on the phone when he was attacked and later died in the hospital.    The charges against Donna Adelson stem from a complicated family feud and custody battle involving her daughter, Wendi Adelson, and Dan Markel. After their divorce, Wendi wanted to move to Miami with their two children, but a judge required her ex-husband's consent, which he refused to give. Emails indicate that Donna Adelson was pushing for the move and allegedly wanted her daughter to influence Markel's decision.    Prosecutors argued that Donna Adelson "hated" her son-in-law, particularly after he asked the judge to limit her unsupervised visits with her grandchildren due to alleged disparaging remarks she made about him to the children.    Emotions ran high in the family, as revealed in emails Donna allegedly sent her daughter before Markel's murder. She encouraged Wendi to take control of her life and make Markel miserable. Donna allegedly stated, "You have 5 weeks before your court date... I know you can be a good actress when you want to. I’ve seen you in action. You need to put on the performance of your life!"    During Charlie Adelson's trial for his involvement in the murder, prosecutors argued that he orchestrated the murder-for-hire plot on behalf of his younger sister, Wendi. However, Wendi has denied any involvement and has never been charged.    Prosecutors claimed that Charlie enlisted the help of his then-girlfriend, Katherine “Katie” Magbanua, to hire two men, Sigfredo “Tuto” Garcia and Luis “Tato” Rivera, to carry out the murder. Garcia was convicted in 2019 and sentenced to life in prison for conspiracy. Magbanua was sentenced to life in prison in 2022 after being convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation.    During his trial, Charlie Adelson testified that he had nothing to do with Markel's murder and claimed he was extorted by Magbanua and the two men. He said he had no knowledge of the murder plot until after it happened and that he was threatened with harm if he didn't pay a substantial sum of money.    Now, Donna Adelson faces charges related to the murder plot that has left a lasting impact on the Markel family and the Adelsons. The case continues to unravel a complex web of family dynamics, conspiracies, and legal battles, shedding light on the dark events that led to the tragic death of Dan Markel.

Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, who is facing charges related to the murders of three women more than a decade ago, recently transferred ownership of his Long Island home to his estranged wife, Asa Ellerup. The move comes as Heuermann remains behind bars, and the trial for his alleged crimes is underway. Ellerup, who is closely following the proceedings, attended her husband's court appearance today.    Heuermann, 60, signed over the deed of his Massapequa Park house to Ellerup in September, naming her the sole owner, according to documents obtained by the US Sun. The transfer of ownership was finalized on October 5, and this property had been a focal point of the police investigation into the long-unsolved murders.    The home, which Heuermann had purchased for $170,000 in 1994, had appreciated in value to approximately $530,000 this year. Following Heuermann's arrest in July, Ellerup and their two adult children, Christopher and Victoria, were forced to leave the property while police executed search warrants and combed through it for potential evidence related to the murders.    Ellerup, who filed for divorce about a week after her husband's arrest, recently visited Heuermann in jail for the first time since his incarceration. Her lawyer, Robert Macedonio, confirmed her intention to attend her estranged husband's trial, stating, "She wants to make her own judgment based on the evidence presented at trial."    In addition to the property transfer, Ellerup has filed court documents demanding the return of her husband's extensive collection of legally purchased firearms, as well as any outstanding jewelry, clothing, and cash that were removed from their home during the police search.    Today, Asa Ellerup was present in court during her husband's trial. She appeared somber as she walked in with her legal team and did not make eye contact with any of the members of the media lined up at the courthouse.    Ellerup and Heuermann reportedly locked eyes when he was escorted out in handcuffs. The accused killer's longtime spouse remained composed as her husband flashed her several glances, and she appeared to smile at him.    She then frowned after he turned to face the judge.    Alongside members of her legal team, and possibly a producer for a documentary, Ellerup sat in the third row and listened intently throughout the proceeding.    After the proceeding ended, she exited the courthouse without issuing a comment and was driven away in a white SUV.    Rex Heuermann's attorney, Michael Brown, informed the judge during the proceeding that his team had not yet received the full minutes from the grand jury that voted to indict his client. He said 75 pages were missing.    He also asked for investigation discovery dating back to 2010 and lab report results, which he said were important to have before the trial moved forward.    Prosecutors informed the judge that they provided 200 pages of information and 13,000 photos to Brown on October 17. They said they would send the missing 75 pages sometime in the future.    The judge, Timothy Mazzei of Suffolk County, appeared surprised by the amount of evidence that had been exchanged.    Heuermann's next court date is scheduled for February 6, 2024, as the legal proceedings continue.    It was also revealed that Ellerup has begun collaborating with a documentary crew, possibly for a project following her journey during Heuermann's trial. Her presence in court and her personal exploration of the evidence highlight the complex and emotional nature of this high-profile murder case.    Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, which include the murders of Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, and Amber Lynn Costello, whose bodies were found on Gilgo Beach in 2010. He is also considered the prime suspect in the killing of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, whose body was discovered near the others.    Ellerup's visit to her former home, where her children still reside, hints at the ongoing impact of these chilling crimes on the lives of those involved. As the trial unfolds, the public and media will continue to closely follow this case, seeking justice and answers to the mysteries that have haunted Gilgo Beach for years.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a tragic incident that shook the world of ice hockey, former NHL player Adam Johnson lost his life due to a fatal neck injury inflicted during a game. On Tuesday, authorities in England arrested a man on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with Johnson's untimely death.    Adam Johnson, 29, was playing for the Nottingham Panthers in a Champions Cup game against the Sheffield Steelers on October 28 when tragedy struck. The fatal injury occurred when the blade of a skate cut Johnson's neck, leading to his immediate treatment on the ice and subsequent transportation to a nearby hospital. Sadly, he was pronounced dead.    The South Yorkshire Police did not disclose the suspect's identity or age, but he is currently in police custody.    This heart-wrenching incident has prompted calls for enhanced safety measures in ice hockey. Johnson's death has sparked discussions regarding the mandatory use of neck guards, with the English Ice Hockey Association announcing plans to implement rules regarding neck protection, set to take effect in 2024.    The NHL and NHL Players Association have also engaged in discussions surrounding player safety and the use of protective equipment. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman stated, "Whether it's something that's mandated directly or on a phased-in basis, that's something we'll discuss with the players' association."    The main criminal charge in this case is involuntary manslaughter, which involves unintentionally causing the death of another person due to recklessness, negligence, or an unlawful act. Unlike voluntary manslaughter, which involves intentional killing without prior intent, involuntary manslaughter deals with unintended deaths resulting from a failure to exercise due care.    In assessing the situation, it is crucial to consider whether Matt Petgrave, the player responsible for the skate blade incident, intended the act but not the outcome. While Petgrave did not have any intention to kill Johnson, his actions could be deemed reckless or negligent.    Petgrave's potential defense may include arguing that the incident was an accident, claiming that he did not mean to raise his leg intentionally, but was rather affected by contact with an opposing player, causing him to lose balance and inadvertently raise his leg.    However, experts suggest that Petgrave raising his leg intentionally may be the more plausible explanation based on the laws of physics and the nature of the act.    It's important to note that criminal charges related to incidents on the playing field are rare, typically reserved for cases where a player clearly intended to harm another player. In this case, while Petgrave's actions were negligent, the unique nature of the incident may present challenges for prosecutors in securing a conviction.    The arrest in connection with Adam Johnson's tragic death serves as a stark reminder of the importance of player safety in sports, sparking discussions and potential changes in protective equipment regulations to prevent such devastating incidents in the future.

In a significant breakthrough, authorities have finally identified the victim known for nearly 35 years as "Baby Jane Doe," whose disfigured remains were discovered in rural Georgia in 1988. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) announced this development in a news release on Monday.    The remains were found by road workers on December 21, 1988, concealed inside an old television cabinet encased in concrete near Millwood in Ware County. The victim has now been identified as Kenyatta "KeKe" Odom, who was just 5 years old at the time of her tragic death.    Kenyatta's mother, 56-year-old Evelyn Odom, and her mother's then-live-in boyfriend, 61-year-old Ulyster Sanders, were arrested last Thursday. Both individuals reside in Albany, Georgia, and are facing charges of murder and aggravated battery, among other counts.    According to details revealed in an indictment obtained by HuffPost, Odom and Sanders are alleged to have submerged parts of Kenyatta's body in hot water, resulting in her untimely death and severe disfigurement of her legs and feet. Subsequently, they concealed her lifeless body in an "undeveloped location" to evade detection.    During a news conference on Monday, GBI Special Agent in Charge Jason Seacrist provided further insights into the grim discovery. Kenyatta's remains were found wrapped in a blanket, placed inside a duffel bag, and encased in concrete within the TV cabinet.    While the child's death was initially ruled a homicide, investigators struggled to pinpoint the cause of death or identify suspects, leaving the case unsolved for decades.    Over the years, authorities made multiple attempts to identify the victim through media coverage and forensic testing available at the time. However, it wasn't until 2022 that a crucial breakthrough occurred. Following the airing of a news story commemorating the anniversary of Kenyatta's death, a tipster from the public came forward.    The tipster expressed confidence in identifying the victim and pointing towards a suspect, Evelyn Odom, who had claimed that Kenyatta had gone to live with her father.    As the case unfolds, it's worth noting that both Evelyn Odom and Ulyster Sanders do not have listed attorneys at this time, and it remains unclear when their next court appearances are scheduled.    This revelation marks a significant milestone in a decades-long mystery that has now provided answers and closure for a young victim who had been known only as "Baby Jane Doe" for far too long. Authorities continue their efforts to bring justice to those responsible for this tragic and heinous crime, as the community reflects on this long-awaited resolution.

Maya Kowalski, the 17-year-old at the center of the popular Netflix documentary "Take Care of Maya," has filed a criminal complaint against Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg. Maya alleges sexual abuse during her hospitalization, which adds to the hospital's recent legal troubles.    Maya's attorney, Greg Anderson, confirmed that she submitted the complaint to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s department, citing incidents of assault and battery that occurred between October 8 and October 13, 2016, during her stay at the hospital. This development follows a Florida jury's ruling in a medical malpractice case that found the hospital liable for a series of wrongdoings.    In the medical malpractice case, the jury determined that the hospital wrongly separated Maya from her mother, Beata Kowalski, who subsequently took her own life. As a result, the hospital is now facing substantial damages amounting to $261 million. The jury's award included compensation for multiple offenses, such as subjecting Maya to 48 hours of continuous video surveillance and having her undress down to shorts and a training bra for a photograph. Additionally, it was found that a hospital staffer engaged in misconduct by kissing 10-year-old Maya and having her sit on their lap.    Attorney Greg Anderson revealed that Maya had suppressed the memory of the alleged sexual abuse until approximately four weeks ago when she disclosed it to the psychiatrists who treated her during her time at the hospital. In response to these allegations, the hospital released a statement through its attorneys, stating, "These allegations originally arose during trial and were not admitted into the case. As soon as the hospital became aware of the allegations, and in accordance with their policies, they immediately initiated an internal investigation and contacted law enforcement last month. Federal privacy laws restrict Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital from sharing more, but the hospital takes allegations of this nature very seriously and always puts the safety of their patients above all else."   Maya Kowalski's hospitalization at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in October 2016 was prompted by her mother, Beata Kowalski, seeking treatment for her daughter's painful neurological condition known as Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome. Beata advocated for aggressive ketamine treatment, a method she believed had previously provided relief for Maya's symptoms. However, medical professionals at the hospital grew suspicious of Beata's demands, ultimately diagnosing her with Munchausen by proxy syndrome, a condition where a parent exaggerates or fabricates their child's symptoms for attention.   Throughout the trial, Maya testified that hospital staff had dismissed her condition as imaginary and had not taken her pain seriously. The hospital reported suspected child abuse to Florida child welfare authorities, leading to an investigation that resulted in Maya being made a medical ward of the state, separating her from her family. Tragically, Beata Kowalski took her own life in their family home's garage three months later.   As Maya continues to grapple with the aftermath of her experiences, her criminal complaint against the hospital adds another layer of complexity to the legal and ethical questions surrounding her treatment and the hospital's responsibilities.

Lori Vallow, the convicted murderer already serving three life sentences without parole, has been labeled as the "driving force" behind the conspiracy to kill her children and her romantic rival, according to allegations made by her alleged co-conspirator's attorney, John Prior.    In three court documents filed on Thursday, Prior asserted that Chad Daybell, Vallow's fifth husband, was under Vallow's control and manipulated by her. He further claimed that Vallow groomed her late brother, Alex Cox, to carry out the murders of her children, Tylee Ryan, 16, and J.J. Vallow, 7, as well as Chad Daybell's first wife, Tammy Daybell. Prior went as far as to suggest that Vallow "handed her son off to be killed by Alex."    The grim discovery of J.J.'s intact body buried in a garbage bag near Tylee's burned and dismembered remains on Daybell's Salem property shocked the nation on June 9, 2020. That same day, Chad Daybell was arrested and has remained in custody at the Fremont County Jail since then. It is believed that the children were murdered in September 2019 and buried on Daybell's property shortly afterward. Tammy Daybell met a tragic end due to suffocation in her Salem home on October 19, 2019, according to court records. Just two weeks later, Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow tied the knot in Hawaii.    John Prior's legal motions are aimed at striking the death penalty from Chad Daybell's case, based on the argument of relative culpability. He asserts that Vallow's influence on Daybell was substantial and that Daybell should not face the same punishment as Vallow. Prior cited statements from the state indicating that "Lori manipulated Chad through emotional and sexual control," and "Chad was not going to act without Lori saying so."    In a second filing, Prior emphasized that Vallow remained in charge of the conspiracy throughout and argued that the state should not present theories of relative culpability that differ from Vallow's trial. Failure to do so, Prior warned, could result in "unreasonably disparate sentences" for the co-defendants, violating the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.    In a third filing, Prior claimed that Daybell was unaware that requesting a speedy trial could help him avoid the death penalty. Vallow declined to waive her right to a speedy trial, and additional evidence introduced shortly before her trial led to the removal of the death penalty from her case. Prior stated that Daybell's initial waiver might be called into question if the death penalty is not struck from his case, potentially raising concerns about ineffective assistance of counsel under the Sixth Amendment.    A hearing is scheduled for November 29 at the Fremont County Courthouse in St. Anthony, where the defense, prosecution, and Judge Steven Boyce will discuss the possibility of removing the death penalty from Chad Daybell's case. They may also consider Daybell's request to allow cameras during his hearings leading up to his trial scheduled for April 1, 2024, in Ada County. Monthly pre-trial meetings between all parties are planned ahead of the April trial. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Samuel Haskell IV, the 35-year-old son of former Hollywood agent Samuel Haskell III, has been taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) on suspicion of murder. The arrest follows the disturbing discovery of a dismembered woman's torso in a dumpster, believed to be connected to the disappearance of Haskell's wife, Mei Haskell, and her parents.    The investigation began when a homeless man searching for recyclables stumbled upon the gruesome find in a dumpster approximately five miles from Samuel Haskell IV's Tarzana residence. Before this discovery, construction workers had reported seeing suspicious black bags near Haskell's home, raising concerns. However, by the time the police arrived, the bags had vanished.    LAPD Detective Efren Gutierrez stated, "There was no evidence that allowed the officers to make entry into the home" during their initial visit. But when the dismembered torso matched the description of the bags reported by the workers, a second crime scene was established at Haskell's residence, where investigators uncovered "blood evidence."    Authorities had already received reports of Mei Haskell, 37, and her parents, Yanxiang Wang, 64, and Gaoshan Li, 72, missing before the grim discovery, and their whereabouts remain unknown as of today. The couple's three children were located at school and subsequently placed under the care of the Department of Children and Family Services.    Police believe the dismemberment may have been an attempt to delay the identification process, and they will rely on DNA evidence to determine the victim's identity.    Samuel Haskell IV's connection to the entertainment industry through his father, Samuel Haskell III, is notable. The elder Haskell served as the executive vice president of the William Morris Agency, representing numerous prominent figures in Hollywood, including George Clooney, Dolly Parton, and Whoopi Goldberg. Haskell III retired in 2005 and currently presides over Magnolia Hill Productions.    Haskell III's career also included a stint as the CEO of the Miss America organization, but he resigned amid controversy over emails containing harsh criticism and vulgar comments about past winners.    This arrest is not Samuel Haskell IV's first brush with the law. Records obtained by the LA Times reveal that in December 2008, he faced charges of assault with a deadly weapon, ultimately pleading no contest to battery and receiving three years' probation in 2010.    A neighbor who had a friendship with Mei Haskell expressed concerns about Samuel Haskell IV, stating, "Something seemed so weird. I kept saying to my family, 'Something is wrong with her husband.'"    Samuel Haskell IV is currently being held on $2 million bail at the Valley Jail in Van Nuys in connection with the gruesome torso discovery. The investigation into this chilling murder case continues, with authorities working diligently to piece together the events leading up to this shocking tragedy.

Former colleagues of Rex Heuermann, the architect charged with multiple murders in the Gilgo Beach case, have come forward with disturbing accounts of his behavior, describing him as “aggressive” and unsettling, intensifying the dark cloud surrounding the high-profile case.    Jeffrey St. Arromand, a luxury real estate salesman who worked with Heuermann, detailed his daunting experiences to Andrea Canning on a “Dateline” episode. “He was very assertive, maybe even leaning to the point of being aggressive,” St. Arromand expressed, highlighting a deeply concerning aspect of Heuermann’s demeanor. His revelations shed light on the suspect's character, contrasting starkly with his professional persona as a knowledgeable architect.    The discomfort among Heuermann's colleagues was palpable, with one individual reportedly avoiding the office to escape his presence. “She just didn’t feel comfortable with him at all,” St. Arromand recalled, echoing a sentiment of fear that has become a recurring theme in discussions about Heuermann.    Despite his aggressive nature at work, Heuermann’s personal life presented a contradiction. Known for his encyclopedic knowledge of New York City’s building codes, he lived in a dilapidated house in Massapequa Park, only a short distance from where the bodies of his alleged victims were discovered.    Heuermann, 59, has pleaded not guilty to the murders of Melissa Barthlemey, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello. Additionally, he is the prime suspect in the killing of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, with police continuing to investigate his potential involvement in other crimes.    Former co-worker Mary Shell’s statement to “Dateline” resonated with a sense of fear and anger, particularly among women. “The idea that, as a woman, you have to be suspicious and be afraid all the time just to stay alive is enraging,” she said, reflecting a broader societal concern about women's safety.    The chilling revelations about Heuermann come as the “Dateline” special “The Hunt for the Gilgo Beach Killer” aired Friday night on Dateline, coinciding with the unexpected resignation of Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison. His departure from the department, only a few months into the renewed investigation adds another layer of complexity to the already convoluted case.    As the community grapples with these revelations, the case against Heuermann continues to develop, casting a somber light on the realities of criminal behavior and its impact on society. The “Dateline” special promises to delve deeper into the enigmatic and disturbing narrative of the Gilgo Beach killings, a case that has captivated and horrified the nation.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Erin Patterson, the host of a weekend family lunch at her Australian country home, faces charges of murdering her ex-husband's parents and aunt with poisonous mushrooms and attempting to murder a fourth guest, according to police reports.    The alleged incident occurred in the Victoria state town of Leongatha, where on July 29, Patterson invited her former husband's parents, Gail and Don Patterson, both aged 70, and Gail Patterson's sister, Heather Wilkinson, 66, along with Heather's husband, Ian Wilkinson, 68, for a family lunch.    Tragically, all four guests fell seriously ill the following day, and only Ian Wilkinson managed to survive. The symptoms exhibited by the victims were consistent with poisoning from wild Amanita phalloides, commonly known as death cap mushrooms.    Patterson, 49, has publicly denied any wrongdoing, expressing her grief and shock. "I'm devastated. I loved them. I can't believe that this has happened, and I'm so sorry," she tearfully told reporters two days after the third death.    In addition to the murder charges, Patterson has been accused of attempting to murder her ex-husband, Simon Patterson, 48. Simon had fallen ill after consuming meals prepared by Erin in 2021 and 2022, though he did not attend the July lunch.    According to a police statement, Erin Patterson was arrested and taken into custody at her home. She had cooked a beef Wellington steak dish for the ill-fated lunch, using mushrooms purchased from a major supermarket chain and dried mushrooms from an Asian grocery store. She herself had consumed the meal and later experienced stomach pains and diarrhea.    Ian Wilkinson, a Baptist pastor, was discharged from the hospital in late September and is reportedly continuing his recovery.    Murder in Victoria carries a maximum potential sentence of 25 years in prison. Erin Patterson was expected to remain in police custody until her scheduled court appearance on Friday, where she could potentially seek bail.    It is important to note that bail requests for defendants charged with murder are typically referred to a higher court for consideration, indicating that Patterson may face a lengthy legal process ahead as the case unfolds. The incident has shocked the community and raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the alleged poisoning, which will undoubtedly be a focus of the ongoing investigation and legal proceedings.

In a surprising turn of events, Rex A. Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, received a visit from his estranged wife, Asa Ellerup, at the Suffolk County Jail in Riverhead on Wednesday. This visit, confirmed by Ellerup's divorce attorney, Bob Macedonio, marks the first time she has visited Heuermann since filing for divorce just six days after his arrest on first- and second-degree murder charges in connection with the killings of three women.    "I can confirm that Asa did visit with Rex yesterday," stated Macedonio in response to inquiries. However, he did not provide any further comments regarding the visit. On the other hand, jail spokesperson Victoria DiStefano neither denied nor confirmed Ellerup's visit but did mention, "As per policy, we do not release the names of visitors, but I can confirm that Rex Heuermann received a visit yesterday."    Heuermann's defense attorney, Michael J. Brown, has not responded to messages seeking comment on this unexpected visit. Brown had previously mentioned that Ellerup had been in telephonic communication with Heuermann while he has been incarcerated.    The 60-year-old former Manhattan architect has been held without bail since his arrest in connection with the killings of Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, and Amber Lynn Costello. All three women's remains were discovered near Gilgo Beach more than a decade ago. Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to these charges.    Prosecutors have further implicated Heuermann as the prime suspect in the slaying of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, whose remains were discovered alongside those of the other three victims. All four women, who were sex workers, were among the first of 10 sets of remains found along Ocean Parkway, believed to be the work of one or more serial killers.    Despite the ongoing legal battles and the gravity of the charges, Heuermann is not contesting the divorce proceedings initiated by Ellerup, which are still pending.    The unexpected visit raises questions about the relationship between Heuermann and Ellerup, who chose to file for divorce shortly after her husband's arrest. Legal experts speculate on the nature of their conversations during this visit and how it might impact the pending murder trial. While details of the meeting remain confidential, it adds another layer of intrigue to a case that has captivated public attention for over a decade.    As the legal proceedings continue, the Gilgo Beach serial killer case remains a gripping and complex mystery, with Heuermann's visit from his estranged wife being the latest development in a saga that has spanned more than 13 years.

A 42-year-old mother from Florida is facing criminal charges following an alarming incident at Port Charlotte High School. Tarajayne Samuels-Catalan is accused of attempting to strike a high school staff member with her vehicle during a morning drop-off on November 2, leaving the school community in shock.    According to authorities, the incident unfolded when Samuels-Catalan tried to exit the school's parking lot by going in the wrong direction. A staff member promptly intervened, informing her that she could not use that exit due to incoming school buses.    The situation escalated as an exchange between Samuels-Catalan and the staff member unfolded. Eventually, she reversed her vehicle and appeared to be complying with the instructions. However, a school bus had to wait for her to clear the way.    When the bus finally passed, the situation took a dangerous turn. Samuels-Catalan suddenly accelerated her vehicle toward the staff member, revving the engine and putting him in immediate danger. In a desperate bid to avoid the oncoming vehicle, the staff member had no choice but to dive into nearby bushes.    The shaken staff member quickly reported the incident, providing crucial details, including the suspect's license plate. An investigation was promptly launched, and authorities were able to corroborate the incident with the help of a witness and security footage.    Samuels-Catalan, however, denied any intention to harm the staff member and claimed that her preference for using the entry area was to avoid speed bumps that could damage her vehicle.   Sheriff Bill Prummell of Charlotte County emphasized the importance of safety in school zones, saying, "The pick-up and drop-off lines at the schools are frustrating at times, but we absolutely will not cut corners on ensuring the safety of the students and staff. I am glad that our victim here is uninjured, and I hope that this mother rethinks the example she is setting for her child."    As a result of her actions, Samuels-Catalan has been charged with aggravated assault on a public or private education employee. She is currently being held without bond at the Charlotte County Jail.    This incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for patience and caution in school zones, where the safety of students and staff should always take precedence. Authorities are actively working to ensure the security of educational environments, and incidents like these are taken seriously to maintain a safe learning environment for all.

In a pivotal development in the ongoing legal saga surrounding Alex Murdaugh, the South Carolina court clerk, Rebecca "Becky" Hill, at the center of allegations of jury tampering has emphatically denied the accusations under oath. These allegations are part of Murdaugh's bid for a new trial following his conviction in March for the murder of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, in June 2021.    Murdaugh's legal team had sought a new trial based on claims of jury tampering, which prompted the South Carolina Court of Appeals to suspend his conviction appeal and return the case to the circuit court for consideration.    Last month, Murdaugh's defense attorneys requested an evidentiary hearing on their allegations of jury tampering. These allegations include assertions that Clerk of Court Becky Hill influenced the jury to disregard Murdaugh's testimony and other defense evidence, pressured them to reach a quick guilty verdict, and misrepresented information to have a juror removed.    In a signed affidavit, Hill categorically denied 26 specific allegations outlined in Murdaugh's motion for a new trial. She refuted statements attributed to her, such as instructing the jury to scrutinize Murdaugh's movements or warning them not to be distracted by certain evidence.    South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and state prosecutors have strongly opposed Murdaugh's motion for a new trial. Their response states, "Never does the law permit highly motivated convicts to put their own jury on trial." They emphasize that Murdaugh's claims lack sufficient merit.    The state's filing also highlights the ongoing investigation, revealing that most jurors and the final alternate juror have been interviewed by the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED). According to the filing, none of the interviewed jurors reported feeling pressured or influenced in their verdict.    However, one juror declined to be interviewed, and two jurors represented by an attorney have not yet consented to unconditional interviews with SLED.    The state's response underscores that Murdaugh's evidence largely consists of affidavits from one deliberating juror, one juror removed for concealing improper communications, and two hearsay affidavits from his legal team's paralegal. The state characterizes Murdaugh's claims as part of a "sweeping conspiratorial theory" with limited supporting evidence.    The filing concludes that if the motion for a new trial is not denied outright, a hearing should be conducted where all jurors would testify under oath regarding the jury tampering allegations.    When approached by CNN, Murdaugh's legal team did not provide any comment regarding the state's response.    Justin Bamberg, an attorney representing Becky Hill, stated, "We have fully respected the investigatory process, which was tough given the horrible things said about Mrs. Hill on Alex Murdaugh's behalf." He firmly denied any tampering allegations and the possibility of criminal charges against Hill. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Morgan Taylor Lund, a 22-year-old Wisconsin woman, has been sentenced to seven years and six months in prison for a shocking crime in which she stabbed her ex-boyfriend 19 times while he slept. The court also ordered her to serve five years of extended supervision for an aggravated battery charge and an additional five years of probation for second-degree recklessly endangering safety.    Lund had previously pleaded no contest to these charges in August, leading to her sentencing.    The horrific incident took place in Winnebago County, where authorities reported that Lund used a pair of scissors to stab her ex-boyfriend repeatedly as he slept. The victim, who miraculously survived the attack, confronted Lund immediately afterward, demanding an explanation for her actions.    Documents indicate that he exclaimed, "What the f— is wrong with you? Why in my sleep, bro?"  In response, Lund reportedly claimed, "I thought I saw something."    A responding officer arrived at a gruesome scene, where Lund was found with blood on her, applying pressure to the victim's upper chest or right shoulder area. She appeared to be wearing only an oversized blue UCLA sweatshirt.    The relationship between Lund and her ex-boyfriend had been marked by contention and allegations of physical abuse. Although they shared a child and lived together, their daily arguments had escalated to the point where the victim sought to disengage from the relationship, which had ended one to two months before the stabbing.    Despite their troubled history, the victim expressed confusion about Lund's motives for the attack, especially in front of their daughter. According to documents, there had been no recent incidents between them the night before the stabbing. While Lund had previously made threats, there were no indications of threats to his life.    Lund's initial defense was a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. She claimed to have been seeing a dark, non-human "figure" for approximately six months to a year leading up to the incident. Court documents recount her recollection of waking up around 6:30 AM with her baby in the room and experiencing trouble sleeping. She later moved the baby to a playpen in the living room where the victim was sleeping on the couch.    Lund stated that she had a muddled memory of a scenario where she believed her ex-boyfriend was yelling at their daughter. In her account, she saw a dark, ominous figure attacking him and reached for a pair of scissors to defend him. It was only when the victim began screaming and fighting back that she realized she was injuring him. She promptly put down the scissors and attempted to provide first aid.    The court's decision to sentence Lund to prison reflects the gravity of her actions, despite her claims of hallucinations and delusions. The victim's survival and the shocking nature of the crime have garnered significant public attention.    This case serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding mental health issues and their intersection with criminal behavior, prompting further discussions on the need for mental health support and intervention.

A Pennsylvania nurse, Heather Pressdee, already facing multiple felony charges for alleged harm to patients under her care, now finds herself confronted with dozens of new criminal charges. These charges accuse her of intentionally administering excessive doses of insulin to 22 patients between 2020 and her arrest in May 2023. The allegations extend beyond her initial accusations of killing two patients and attempting to kill a third while working at Quality Life Services in Chicora, a small town in the western part of the state.    In a recent press release, Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry disclosed that Pressdee stands accused of poisoning an additional 19 patients, resulting in the alleged deaths of 17 of those patients while under her care. The charges assert that Pressdee administered substantial amounts of insulin, regardless of the patient's diabetic status. Some of these patients required insulin to manage diabetes, while others did not have diabetes at all.    "The allegations against Ms. Pressdee are disturbing," said Attorney General Henry in the press release. "It is hard to comprehend how a nurse, trusted to care for her patients, could choose to deliberately and systematically harm them. The damage done to the victims and their loved ones cannot be overstated. Every person in a medical or care facility should feel safe and cared for, and my office will work tirelessly to hold the defendant accountable for her crimes and protect care-dependent Pennsylvanians from future harm."    These alleged insulin poisoning incidents occurred while Pressdee worked as a registered nurse at several healthcare facilities, including Concordia at Rebecca Residence, Belair Healthcare and Rehabilitation (Guardian), Quality Life Services Chicora, Premier Armstrong Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, and Sunnyview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. Authorities believe Pressdee often administered excessive insulin doses during her overnight shifts, when staffing levels were lower, and the resulting medical emergencies were less likely to lead to immediate hospitalization.    Pressdee had previously claimed to have admitted to some of the incidents, stating that she "felt bad for their quality of life and had hoped that they would just slip into a coma and pass away," as per the initial criminal complaint. However, prosecutors dismissed this explanation.    Investigators uncovered Pressdee's history of disciplinary actions for abusive behavior toward patients and staff dating back to 2018. These incidents ultimately led to her being fired or resigning from various healthcare facilities.    The victims involved in this case ranged from 43 to 104 years old.    Pressdee had previously faced charges including two counts of homicide, one count of attempted murder, one count of aggravated assault, three counts of neglect of a care-dependent person, and three counts of reckless endangerment. The recent charges, announced on Thursday, include two counts of first-degree murder, 17 additional counts of attempted murder, and 19 additional counts of neglect of a care-dependent person.    The attorney general's office clarified that the charging decisions were based on the availability of "physical evidence" to support the cause of death. "Attempted murder is charged in the cases where the victims either survived the excessive dosage of insulin, or the cause of death could not be determined," the press release explained.    This case serves as a chilling reminder of the importance of vigilant oversight and accountability in healthcare settings to ensure the safety and well-being of patients.

In a high-profile murder-for-hire trial that has captivated the nation, Florida dentist Charles Adelson took the stand on Friday, testifying that he never explained to authorities that he was a victim of extortion rather than the mastermind behind the 2014 murder of his ex-brother-in-law, Dan Markel. Prosecutors allege that Adelson paid to have Markel killed following a bitter custody battle with Adelson's sister, Wendi. Adelson contends investigators misunderstood the situation, and he remained silent out of fear for his life.    Nine years after the murder of Dan Markel, a prominent Florida State University law professor, Adelson admitted under questioning by his lawyer on Thursday that he paid the killers money after the fact, but he claimed it was because he was under threat. The link between Adelson and the killers was his ex-girlfriend, Katherine Magbanua, who informed Adelson shortly after the murder that her friends were the perpetrators and demanded over $300,000 within 48 hours to spare his life.    Prosecutor Georgia Cappleman attempted to cast doubt on Adelson's story during Friday's testimony. She questioned the circumstances of Adelson's financial transactions with Magbanua, pointing out that he willingly handed over $138,000 in cash without any apparent coercion. Additionally, Cappleman noted that Adelson spent the night with Magbanua after the exchange and continued to give her expensive gifts, put her on his family's dentistry payroll, and provided her with a monthly payment of $3,000 to pass on to the extortionists.    "Do extortionists send a girlfriend of their victim to collect their extortion money? Is that the way it’s done?" Cappleman asked sarcastically.    Cappleman also highlighted the fact that Adelson maintained a sexual relationship with Magbanua months after the murder and expressed his love for her through text messages. Adelson defended his actions, stating that he believed Magbanua was not involved in orchestrating the extortion plot and that she was safeguarding him from the real killers. He described the monthly payments as a form of life insurance that he believed kept him alive.    "I didn’t get killed, I didn’t get robbed. The extortion never went up. She was protecting me," Adelson asserted.    Prosecutors argue that Adelson paid to have Dan Markel murdered, with Magbanua allegedly hiring hitman Sigfredo Garcia, the father of her children, to carry out the act. Garcia, in turn, enlisted the help of his childhood friend, Luis Rivera. Both Magbanua and Garcia were convicted of first-degree murder, while Rivera is serving a 19-year sentence after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in exchange for testifying against Garcia and Magbanua.    Charles Adelson currently faces charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation of murder. The trial has centered around the contentious custody battle between Markel and Wendi Adelson, Charles Adelson's sister. Markel and Wendi Adelson were divorced and shared custody of their children. A judge had ruled against Wendi Adelson's wish to relocate with the children to South Florida, leading to tensions.    During his testimony, Adelson revealed that his family had offered Markel $1 million to move to South Florida, with Adelson himself offering to pay one-third of the cost. He disclosed these details to Magbanua, who later informed Garcia. Adelson insisted that he believed Garcia and Rivera acted independently and that Magbanua was innocent, even after her arrest in 2016. It was only during her trial three years later that Adelson realized her involvement in the plot.    The trial has drawn significant attention due to its complex web of relationships and the tragic circumstances surrounding the murder of Dan Markel, a respected law professor and scholar.

A recent study by Vivint, a smart home company, has shed light on a concerning trend in the United States: a surge in various types of crimes following the end of daylight saving time (DST). Based on FBI data recorded between 2017 and 2021, the study reveals alarming statistics and suggests potential solutions to address the issue.  The study's findings indicate a consistent increase in both the percentage and total number of crimes committed in the weeks following the transition from DST. Notably, robberies saw a staggering 64.4% spike in likelihood, while vehicle thefts followed closely with a 61% increase in probability. The raw rise in robberies amounted to a startling 81%.    Break-ins also witnessed a 16% surge during this period. However, homes equipped with security systems experienced significantly fewer burglaries compared to unprotected residences.    These findings align with previous research that suggests maintaining daylight saving time throughout the year could reduce specific crimes, especially robberies, by extending evening daylight hours. A 2015 study by the Brookings Institution revealed that eliminating the practice of "falling back" could potentially reduce robberies by 27%, as criminals are less likely to strike in well-lit environments.    Furthermore, a 2012 study by Jennifer Doleac and Nicholas Sanders found that robberies, murders, and rapes all decreased following the "spring forward" transition, emphasizing the importance of adequate daylight in crime deterrence.    Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant and professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, commented on the study's implications, saying, "Most crimes happen under the cover of darkness, that’s why things like broad daylight shootings are so shocking to the public." He also noted that many burglaries occur when people leave their homes for work or school, often in the morning when it is still dark after turning the clocks back.    To address the increased crime risk after DST ends, the Vivint team recommends taking proactive security measures, including installing exterior lighting, ensuring windows and doors are locked, and closing curtains and blinds at night.    The issue of biannual clock changes has also gained attention in the U.S. Senate, where the Sunshine Protection Act was introduced last year. The proposed legislation aims to eliminate the need to "fall back" every November and make daylight saving time permanent. Senator Marco Rubio, who introduced the bill, described the practice of changing clocks as "obsolete, confusing, and unhealthy."    Senator Rubio cited the Brookings Institution's research on robberies and argued that year-round daylight saving time would not only reduce crime but also lower car accidents, boost the economy, and mitigate seasonal depression and other illnesses. "We feel safer when we’re walking in the daylight, and it’s easy to imagine why light might have a deterrent effect on crime: offenders know they’re more likely to be recognized and get caught if they’re fully visible," the Brookings researchers noted.    Despite the potential benefits, the House of Representatives has yet to pass the Sunshine Protection Act. Senator Rubio remains optimistic, stating, "This Congress, I hope that we can finally get this done."    As clocks officially turned back at 2 a.m. on Sunday, concerns about the consequences of falling back have again come to the forefront of public discourse. The study by Vivint serves as a stark reminder of the need to address the impact of daylight-saving time transitions on crime rates in the United States.

Blaze Thibaudeau, the Arizona teenager who recently sparked an international search, has been found safe in Alaska. While Blaze is now out of harm's way, shocking details from court documents shed light on the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and reveal a troubling connection to the Lori Vallow case.    Prosecutors are pushing for the extradition of Blaze's mother, Spring Thibaudeau, and her brother, Brook Hale, to Arizona to face charges related to custodial interference. These developments come after U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents located the group near the Alaska/Canada border.    Blaze's story begins with an early departure from Phoenix Sky Harbor last Monday, accompanied by his mother, older sister Abi, and his uncle, Brook Hale. Court documents indicate that Brook was the leader of the group and shared doomsday beliefs similar to those held by Lori Vallow, who was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her children, driven by her belief in a Biblical apocalypse.    According to records, Spring Thibaudeau believes Blaze to be a "Davidic messenger," someone destined to play a significant role in the second coming of Jesus Christ. Brook Hale left behind notes for his family, including a list of "Questions for the Lord," which included the query, "Am I one of the witnesses who preaches with Blaze?" Another letter resembled a will, where he distributed his money and belongings based on a dream suggesting the end of the world was imminent.    Blaze's father, Ben, took legal action by filing for a marriage dissolution on October 17, a move prompted by the realization that his son had been taken "against his will." In response, a judge granted him emergency sole custody.    One crucial aspect highlighted in the court documents is that Blaze does not share his mother's end-of-the-world beliefs. Instead, he is said to believe that Spring suffers from a mental illness.    As the legal proceedings unfold, Spring Thibaudeau has a family court date scheduled for Wednesday, adding another layer of complexity to this deeply troubling and bizarre case. The extradition of Spring and Brook back to Arizona will be a significant step in addressing the charges they now face.    Blaze's safe return brings relief to his family, but the case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of recognizing and addressing concerning beliefs and behaviors, particularly when they involve the welfare of children.

Angelo Mantych, aged 41, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of his wife, 28-year-old Marina Placensia, who passed away on an Amtrak train journey from Milwaukee to Denver in 2016. The Denver District Attorney’s office announced this following Mantych's arrest on Monday.    On August 30, 2016, the family was traveling to their new home in Denver when the tragedy unfolded. Marina Placensia was found "unresponsive" on the train on September 1, just before it arrived in Denver. A doctor on board declared her dead after her husband, Angelo Mantych, notified authorities. An arrest affidavit, reviewed by PEOPLE, stated that Mantych was visibly distressed, vomiting, and crying when officers arrived.    The arrest affidavit revealed a disturbing discovery: a "large number" of injuries and bruises on Marina Placensia's body, including her face, mouth, abdomen, and legs. An autopsy report eventually documented 35 injuries, indicating signs of assault or struggle, though her cause of death was not immediately obvious.    Angelo Mantych initially claimed that the injuries occurred during their move from Racine, Wisconsin, to Denver. However, suspicions had been raised by friends and family members, who alleged that Mantych had a history of abusing Placensia. They maintained that he should be considered a suspect.    Further investigation uncovered allegations of repeated abuse. People familiar with the couple, including friends and neighbors, reported instances of name-calling, punching, and Mantych forcing Placensia to move furniture alone while he watched during their relocation. In September 2023, Dr. Bill Smock, an expert in strangulation and suffocation, issued a report suggesting that suffocation may have been the cause of Placensia's death.    The arrest affidavit also detailed Mantych's efforts to hinder Placensia from leaving the allegedly abusive relationship. One neighbor, who claimed to have seen Placensia with bruises, reported that Mantych threatened her after finding text messages advising Placensia to leave. Despite the threats, a judge denied the neighbor's request for a protective order against Mantych.    Additionally, it was revealed that Mantych had allegedly forced Placensia to put her phone on speaker during discussions with her family members about leaving the relationship, effectively eavesdropping on their conversations.    Angelo Mantych is currently in custody at the Downtown Detention Center without bond, according to jail records. His plea status and legal representation remain unclear at this time. A court appearance for Mantych has been scheduled for November 16, where further developments in this long-awaited case may unfold.    This arrest and the troubling details surrounding Marina Placensia's death serve as a stark reminder of the importance of addressing domestic violence and protecting those who may be at risk in abusive relationships.

What twists and turns can we expect if Alex Murdaugh, a figure embroiled in scandal and crime, gets another shot in court? This burning question sets the stage for an in-depth discussion between Tony Brueski, host of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, and former defense attorney Lori Hellis, exploring the potential implications and strategies in a hypothetical second trial for Murdaugh.    Alex Murdaugh’s story is a tangled web of lies, financial crimes, and shocking revelations, making it a prime subject for legal analysts and crime enthusiasts alike. In their conversation, Brueski and Hellis dissect the prospects of a new trial, pondering whether the same defenses and arguments would resurface or if a fresh approach would be necessary.    Murdaugh’s credibility took a nosedive during the first trial when he admitted to lying about his whereabouts on the night of the crime and his involvement in substantial financial wrongdoings. Hellis highlights that “the shock factor” of these admissions would be significantly diminished in a second trial, as the revelations are now public knowledge. The defense might need to tread a different path to address the changed dynamics and the heavy character weight of negativity now associated with Murdaugh.    Delving into the details, Hellis notes that Murdaugh’s previous statements to law enforcement, particularly regarding his location at the kennels, remain a critical point of contention. The state could seize this opportunity to refine the timeline of events and strengthen the data-driven evidence. However, she also points out a potential shift in the evidentiary landscape, given Murdaugh’s guilty plea to the financial crimes in federal court. This conviction might make it easier for the prosecution to introduce information about these prior bad acts, potentially bolstering their case.    Hellis and Brueski explore the strategic decisions the defense might face, particularly regarding whether Murdaugh should take the stand again. Given his narcissistic traits, Hellis speculates that Murdaugh, feeling confident in his own testimony, might choose to testify once more, despite the potential risks and against legal advice.    The conversation shifts to the crucial aspect of time and location, focusing on the challenging task of explaining Murdaugh’s presence at the scene without implicating him in the murders. Hellis underscores the difficulty in concocting a plausible theory that accounts for his proximity while maintaining his innocence, emphasizing the need for substantial evidence to support any new narrative introduced by the defense.    Speculations abound regarding potential new elements in a second trial, including the introduction of testimony about external threats or pressures on Murdaugh. Hellis and Brueski contemplate whether such revelations would be deemed credible, questioning why such defenses were not presented during the first trial.    Hellis also sheds light on the procedural intricacies, explaining that if the first trial is invalidated, and a new trial is granted, the proceedings of the original trial would essentially be wiped clean, creating both opportunities and challenges in presenting evidence and constructing arguments.    The discussion concludes with an examination of certain evidence that might continue to tip the scales against Murdaugh, including the mysterious time lapse and steps taken at his mother’s home after the crime. Hellis theorizes possible scenarios that could fit this puzzle piece, though she acknowledges the inherent complexities and uncertainties that surround the case.    As the podcast episode comes to a close, listeners are left pondering: If Murdaugh is granted a new trial, will the truth finally emerge from this labyrinth of deception and crime, or will the case remain an enigmatic jigsaw, with pieces that never quite fit together? Only time will tell as the saga of Alex Murdaugh continues to unfold, captivating the public's attention and challenging the boundaries of legal analysis and crime-solving.

The trial of yoga instructor Kaitlin Armstrong, accused of the murder of Anna Moriah "Mo" Wilson, commenced with prosecutors presenting a narrative of jealousy and fatal consequences in an alleged love triangle. Wilson, a skilled cyclist, had a prior romantic involvement with Armstrong's on-and-off boyfriend, professional cyclist Colin Strickland. Prosecutors contend that Armstrong, driven by jealousy, tracked Wilson's whereabouts using a fitness app and subsequently shot her in the heart.    During opening statements, prosecutors revealed that Strickland had confronted Armstrong about her ongoing communication with Wilson, even going so far as to modify the cyclist's name in his phone contacts. The prosecution asserted that Armstrong had access to Strickland's email and Instagram accounts, allowing her to monitor their correspondence on a shared iPad.    The tragic incident unfolded while Wilson was staying with her friend Caitlin Cash. On May 10, 2022, Wilson embarked on a bike ride, meticulously documenting her journey on Strava, a workout tracking app. She also shared her exact location with Strickland via text, a decision that prosecutors claim ultimately allowed Armstrong to pinpoint her whereabouts.    On that fateful night, prosecutors allege that Armstrong confronted Wilson, firing multiple shots before delivering a fatal shot to her heart. However, the defense has argued that there is no concrete evidence linking Armstrong to the crime, emphasizing the absence of camera footage placing her at the scene. Armstrong's attorney has described the case as one built on circumstantial evidence and claimed that she is "trapped in a nightmare."    Testimony from Caitlin Cash, who discovered Wilson and alerted authorities, was emotionally charged. Cash described the heartbreaking scene, stating, "She was covered in blood. She was lying on her back. I bent down and tried to wake her up. Pretty quickly I called 911." Contrary to initial assertions, Cash clarified that Strickland and Wilson were no longer romantically involved at the time of Wilson's tragic death.    In a dramatic turn of events following the murder, Armstrong faced accusations of fleeing to Costa Rica, spending over a month evading authorities and undergoing cosmetic surgery using her sister's passport. Her yoga activities in Costa Rica eventually led to her identification and apprehension. Armstrong was returned to Texas after 43 days on the run.    Earlier this month, Armstrong was involved in another incident when she allegedly attempted to escape custody during transport to a medical appointment. Video footage captured the tense moment, as Armstrong sprinted alongside a walking track, pursued by an officer. After a brief stumble by the officer, Armstrong tried to scale a wall before being apprehended following a 10-minute chase.    The trial continues as both the prosecution and defense present their cases. The proceedings shed light on the complex web of emotions and relationships that led to this tragic event, as the courtroom awaits a verdict in this high-profile case.

In a shocking turn of events, a North Dakota woman, Ina Thea Kenoyer, 47, is facing class AA felony murder charges for the alleged poisoning of her boyfriend, Steven Edward Riley Jr., 51, who passed away on September 5, 2023, at a Bismarck hospital. The startling revelation came to light after an autopsy disclosed that Riley had succumbed to poisoning, specifically from ethylene glycol, the primary component of antifreeze.    According to the Minot Police Department, Kenoyer was arrested on October 30, 2023, in connection with Riley's untimely demise. The case has sent shockwaves through the community, leaving many in disbelief.    Investigators suspect that Kenoyer's motive behind this alleged murder was financial gain. Riley was on the verge of receiving a substantial inheritance of $30 million and had plans to terminate his relationship with Kenoyer. Witnesses reported that Riley began feeling unwell on September 3, 2023, just days before he was supposed to meet with an attorney to formalize his inheritance. Emergency responders were summoned the following day when Riley became unresponsive, leading to his transfer to a different hospital, where he ultimately passed away.    While Kenoyer initially offered alternative explanations for Riley's condition, the autopsy results unequivocally established poisoning as the cause of death. Friends and family of the deceased contend that Kenoyer had used antifreeze to poison Riley, a claim supported by investigators. The New York Times reported that Kenoyer and Riley had been in a relationship for a decade, but Kenoyer allegedly grew distraught upon learning of Riley's intentions to end the relationship after receiving the inheritance.    Kenoyer reportedly told investigators that she intended to split the inheritance with Riley's son, asserting herself as Riley's "common law" wife due to their lengthy relationship. However, it is important to note that North Dakota does not legally recognize "common law" marriages, further complicating Kenoyer's claim.    According to the Minot Daily News, Kenoyer even proposed alternative scenarios in which Riley might have accidentally ingested antifreeze. Riley's friends have also come forward, alleging that Kenoyer had previously mentioned the idea of poisoning her boyfriend with antifreeze. Riley's deteriorating health on the same day he was supposed to meet with the attorney and receive his inheritance raised suspicions among his friends. Despite their concerns, Kenoyer assured them that Riley was merely suffering from heatstroke.    The charges against Kenoyer are particularly severe, as she faces a class AA felony murder charge, the most severe category of murder charges in North Dakota. If convicted, she could face severe legal consequences.    As the legal proceedings continue, the community is left grappling with the tragic loss of Steven Edward Riley Jr. and the startling allegations surrounding his demise. The case serves as a poignant reminder of the potential consequences of greed and jealousy, even in the most unexpected of circumstances. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A devastating incident unfolded in Dallas, Georgia, over the weekend as a beloved elementary school teacher lost her life in a domestic dispute. Jasmyn Victoria Lambert, a 37-year-old third-grade teacher at Still Elementary School in the Cobb County School District, was fatally shot in her own home. Her estranged husband, 42-year-old Tyrone Victor Lambert, now faces multiple charges, including murder and cruelty to children.    The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office reported that the tragic event occurred when a witness called 911 around midnight on Saturday to report a domestic dispute and home invasion. According to the witness, Tyrone Lambert forcibly entered the residence through the back door and proceeded to threaten multiple individuals with a firearm.    Upon realizing that 911 had been called, Tyrone Lambert fled the scene on foot. Authorities immediately initiated the process of obtaining an arrest warrant and issued a "be on the lookout" alert for him and his vehicle to other law enforcement agencies.    However, the situation took a harrowing turn when a witness made another call to police at approximately 7:12 a.m. to report that Tyrone Lambert had returned to the home with a firearm, once again entering through the same back door. Deputies who arrived at the scene heard gunshots before entering the residence and apprehending Lambert outside.    Inside the home, they discovered Jasmyn Lambert with a gunshot wound. She was promptly transported to a hospital, but tragically, she succumbed to her injuries. Tyrone Lambert was taken into custody on suspicion of murder (family violence), malice murder, home invasion, criminal damage, cruelty to children, criminal trespass, possession of a firearm, aggravated assault, and obstruction, as per inmate records.    In a statement, the Cobb County School District expressed its deep sorrow over the loss of Jasmyn Lambert, saying, "Jasmyn Lambert's big smile was welcoming to all, her classroom couldn't wait to see her every day. Our hearts go out to her family, friends, and the entire Still community who already miss her."    It was revealed that a protective order had been filed against Tyrone Lambert, although it had expired at the time of the incident. Authorities have indicated that as the investigation progresses, additional charges may be filed in connection with this tragic and heart-wrenching case.    The community mourns the loss of a dedicated educator and beloved member of Still Elementary School, while law enforcement continues to work diligently to ensure justice is served in this devastating case.

A Colorado funeral home is facing a lawsuit after allegations surfaced that the owners allowed bodies to decompose while providing families with counterfeit ashes. The lawsuit, filed by Richard Law, claims that Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose, Colorado, was involved in a disturbing scandal that affected numerous families.    The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) recently uncovered a shocking discovery at the funeral home, revealing at least 189 improperly stored bodies in a building owned by the establishment. Authorities have warned that this number could change as the investigation continues and the process of identifying the victims progresses.    "In death, these men and women deserved to be treated with respect and dignity," said plaintiff attorney Andrew Swan. "Instead, they were defiled."    Richard Law's involvement in the lawsuit stems from his experience entrusting his late father, Roger Law, to the care of the funeral home back in 2020. The funeral home was supposed to cremate Roger Law and provide his ashes to his son. However, recent revelations suggest that Roger's body was among the many found in the funeral home's building.    "Nearly three years after his death, Roger still has never been cremated. Instead, he was allowed to decompose in squalid conditions," the complaint stated. "Roger deserved better. So did the other 188 victims found at the Penrose property."    The shocking discovery came to light when locals in the area reported an abhorrent smell emanating from the property. Co-defendant Jon Hallford allegedly attempted to attribute the smell to his taxidermy hobby but was unsuccessful in doing so.   The lawsuit alleges that the funeral home owners not only allowed bodies to decompose improperly but also provided families with counterfeit ashes and falsified death certificates. Other families who have come forward with their concerns have noted that the material they received as ashes seemed similar to dry concrete. A family member, Tanya Wilson, shared with KDRO her experience of conducting a side-by-side test. She mixed water separately with Quikrete and the purported ashes that were claimed to belong to her mother, Yong Anderson. Wilson reported, "The reaction, it looked very, very similar, the consistency and everything. Then, when it dried, it dried into little tiny rocks, very, very similar. It gave me confirmation that I believe it's concrete."    Colorado is unique in that it does not require professionals in the funeral home and crematory industry to be licensed. Return to Nature Funeral Home reportedly operated with an expired license, raising concerns about regulatory oversight.    Attorney Andrew Swan criticized the lax regulatory status quo in the state and called for stronger enforcement mechanisms and more rigorous inspections. While he expressed confidence in the ongoing criminal investigation, he emphasized the importance of a lawsuit like this in holding accountable those responsible for such misconduct.    Richard Law, the plaintiff in the lawsuit, has shown dedication to the case despite the emotional toll it has taken. "He takes a lot of satisfaction in standing up to this misconduct on behalf of other families," Swan said.    Efforts to reach Return to Nature Funeral Home for comment have been unsuccessful, with their website down and a linked phone number out of service. The FBI is also involved in the investigation, further underscoring the severity of the situation. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A shocking incident in Manhasset, New York, has led to the arrest of a 43-year-old man, Michael Yifan Wen, who allegedly pointed a gun at a 6-year-old child. The incident stemmed from a Halloween goody bag mix-up, leaving the community in disbelief.    According to the Nassau County Police Department, on the evening of October 28, a 42-year-old mother, along with her daughter, two sons, and nephew, visited a home on Rockcrest Road, approximately 20 miles east of Manhattan. Their purpose was to drop off a Halloween goody bag filled with candy for her daughter's friend.    The daughter and her 6-year-old brother approached the house, rang the doorbell, and left the treats on the front porch. However, they soon realized they might have chosen the wrong address. The mother turned the car around and stopped once again in front of the Rockcrest Road house.    As the 6-year-old went back to retrieve the goody bag, the front door opened, and Michael Yifan Wen stepped out, allegedly pointing a black handgun at the child's head while yelling, "Get the f— off my property." This terrifying encounter left the community deeply shaken.    Residents in the area believed the children were participating in a harmless Halloween tradition called "ghosting," where kids ring a friend's doorbell and leave a bag of treats on the porch. The incident, however, took a disturbing turn.    Wen's attorney, William Zou, offered an explanation, characterizing the incident as a misunderstanding. He stated, "I think what happened yesterday was totally a misunderstanding and a mistake. He and his family have been terrorized recently by constant banging on his door. He just opened the door [and] reacted strongly, telling the person to get away from his property. By the time he realized it was a kid, he started to regret."    Wen pleaded not guilty at his arraignment, and his next hearing is scheduled for November 13. The charges against him include one count of second-degree menacing and one count of endangering the welfare of a child.    The Manhasset community expressed shock and dismay over the incident, with one resident describing it as "terrible" and "horrific." Parents and neighbors are discussing the incident, which has raised concerns and left many unsettled.    As the legal process unfolds, the case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of communication and restraint in tense situations. The Halloween goody bag mix-up, initially thought to be a playful tradition, took a distressing turn, highlighting the need for understanding and vigilance in our communities.Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A disturbing incident unfolded at the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Colorado over the weekend when a heavily armed 22-year-old man was discovered dead on the park premises. The incident occurred before the park opened to the public, sending shockwaves through the community.    The Garfield County Sheriff's Office initially responded to a report of a deceased male on Saturday morning. In an updated news release on Monday, the authorities revealed that the man had entered the park after hours when no employees were present. The individual's identity has not been disclosed.    Although the news release did not specify the cause of death, a statement from the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, shared with PEOPLE, indicated that the Garfield County Coroner was investigating the death as a suicide.    What set this incident apart was the heavily armed nature of the intruder. According to the sheriff's office, the individual was dressed in black tactical clothing, bearing patches that resembled law enforcement emblems. He was armed with a semi-automatic rifle and a semi-automatic handgun, both loaded with multiple magazines. Additionally, he was wearing body armor and what appeared to be a ballistic helmet.    Perhaps most concerning, authorities discovered several improvised explosive devices (IEDs) with the suspect and in a van associated with him. The Grand Junction Bomb Squad swiftly arrived at the scene, successfully rendering the devices safe. They also conducted a thorough sweep of the park, ensuring no additional IEDs were planted on the premises or the rides.    The sheriff's office emphasized that their investigation indicated no immediate risk to the public, with the suspect's actions appearing to be confined to the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. Authorities also conducted a search of the suspect's residence, located in the Carbondale area, as part of their ongoing investigation to assess the extent of his criminal activity.    Sheriff's officials expressed deep concern over the situation, stating, "Given the amount of weaponry, ammunition, and explosive devices found, the suspect could have implemented an attack of devastating proportions on our community and first responders."    Nancy Heard, the theme park's general manager, conveyed her gratitude to the Garfield County Sheriff's Department and other authorities for their swift response and thorough work. She also reassured the community about the park's safety measures, noting, "Multiple security programs are in place, including an extensive network of security cameras, alarms, fencing, gates, and posted signage. The incident on October 28 did not take place in any of these areas and was not related to any rides or attractions."    As the investigation remains active, residents and visitors to the area are left with many questions about the motivations and intentions of the deceased intruder. Authorities are working diligently to provide answers and ensure the community's safety. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a heart-wrenching turn of events, the Milwaukee community is grappling with the tragic loss of 5-year-old Prince McCree, whose disappearance on Wednesday led to a harrowing discovery on Thursday morning. The young boy was found lifeless in a dumpster, just a mile away from his home in the Uptown neighborhood, sending shockwaves through the city.    Milwaukee police swiftly launched a homicide investigation, aiming to uncover the circumstances surrounding Prince's death. At present, authorities are working tirelessly to determine the cause of the young boy's untimely demise, leaving many questions unanswered.    As the investigation unfolds, two individuals have been taken into custody by the Milwaukee police. Among them are a 27-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy, both considered persons of interest in this deeply distressing case. The exact relationship between these individuals and Prince McCree's family remains unclear.    Local State Senator LaTonya Johnson, also a neighbor of the McCree family, expressed the shock and sorrow gripping the community. She disclosed that Prince's parents spent a sleepless night knocking on doors in the neighborhood, desperately seeking any information that could lead to their son's safe return.    "They were distraught," Senator Johnson said, "It was a shock. This neighborhood is relatively quiet. You don't see a lot of police activity. We knew it was something serious."    The community rallied behind the McCree family after Prince was reported missing on Wednesday. A "critically missing" alert was issued to media outlets, emphasizing the urgency of the situation and mobilizing the public to assist in the search.    Marie Stillo, a cousin of Prince's mother, spoke fondly of the 5-year-old, saying, "He was just the sweetest little boy." She shared that Prince adored his siblings, had a deep love for learning, superheroes, and was enchanted by the popular children's song, "Baby Shark." Additionally, Prince had recently lost his second baby tooth, marking a milestone in his young life.    In memory of Prince McCree, who had just started elementary school, a vigil is being organized by the community to honor his memory and support his grieving family. To help the family cope with the tragic loss and provide a proper farewell to Prince, Marie Stillo initiated a GoFundMe campaign.    The GoFundMe's description states, "We aim to provide Prince with a funeral and headstone that he deserves, and to help his mom and dad with whatever they may need during this difficult time."    The entire Milwaukee community stands united in grief and solidarity with the McCree family during this incomprehensibly difficult period. As the investigation progresses, residents are hopeful that answers will emerge to bring closure to the tragic loss of young Prince McCree. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A bizarre and terrifying series of attacks unfolded in Omaha as a 20-year-old male and a 17-year-old female allegedly dressed as the iconic horror character Michael Myers from the "Halloween" movie franchise attacked multiple people with a hammer and robbed them. The suspects were taken into custody following a spree of violence that left victims traumatized.*    Omaha Police responded to a flurry of calls on the evening of October 23, reporting a string of robberies and suspicious incidents between 6:11 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. Each victim recounted a horrifying encounter with a masked assailant resembling Michael Myers, who wielded a hammer and robbed them.    The suspect, described as a man, drove a gray or silver sedan during the attacks. One victim, a 79-year-old individual, suffered "bleeding facial injuries" during the assault, and his wallet was stolen. The suspects attempted to rob four individuals, successfully taking items from two of them.    Omaha Police initiated a swift response, leading to a breakthrough in the case. On October 25, officers located the suspect's vehicle and took 20-year-old Jorden Payne into custody. Payne faces two counts of robbery and two counts of attempted robbery.    Additionally, a 17-year-old, believed to be Payne's girlfriend, was apprehended and faces charges of two counts of robbery, one count of attempted robbery, and one count of criminal mischief.

A potential tragedy was averted when authorities arrested Michael Lee, a self-proclaimed "former incel," for making terroristic threats of a mass shooting at the University of Arizona. The FBI intervened after Lee's disturbing plans surfaced in a Snapchat group chat, leading to his arrest on charges related to interstate threats.*    Michael Lee, 27, attracted the attention of law enforcement when he discussed his intention to carry out a mass shooting at the University of Arizona in a group chat on Snapchat. In response to questions about his methods, Lee allegedly mentioned using an AR-15, noting, "It is Arizona; you can just buy one."    Disturbingly, when asked about the timing of the attack, Lee replied, "Damn, I haven't decided yet," and mentioned "the day of Retribution," a reference linked to the 2014 misogynistic mass murder carried out by Elliot Rodger.    In his posts, Lee also used the terms "chads" and "stacies," commonly associated with incel culture, which often expresses extreme misogyny and resentment towards individuals perceived as more socially successful.    Alarmed by Lee's threats, some group chat members took screenshots, prompting Lee's hostile response: "f— you stacies I was gonna give u a warning but now im not," he said.    Authorities traced Lee's vehicle near the University of Arizona multiple times, raising further concerns about his intentions.    Upon apprehension, Lee admitted to writing the threatening messages, explaining that he used the chat to vent his frustrations. He disclosed his past affiliation with the incel community and admitted considering purchasing a firearm two months earlier.    In a statement to the school community, Steve Patterson, the interim vice president and chief safety officer of the University of Arizona's Office of Public Safety, reassured that Lee had no affiliation with the university.    This arrest serves as a reminder of the vigilance required to prevent potential acts of violence and highlights the importance of reporting suspicious behavior. Authorities acted swiftly to neutralize the threat posed by Lee, averting a potentially catastrophic event on the University of Arizona campus. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a significant legal development, Judge John Judge has denied the motion to dismiss murder charges against Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old criminology PhD student accused of murdering four University of Idaho students. The defense had argued for dismissal, citing grand jury bias, inadmissible evidence, and prosecutorial misconduct, but the judge deemed these arguments unconvincing.  Kohberger is facing four counts of murder and one count of felony burglary in connection with the tragic stabbing deaths of four young students. The case has drawn widespread attention and public interest.    Adding to the controversy, Judge Judge made a surprising decision to allow cameras in the courtroom, despite opposition from both the defense and the prosecution. This ruling has sparked debate among legal teams and the victims' families, with some advocating for transparency and others expressing concerns about the potential impact of cameras on the trial.    The decision to proceed with the trial and allow cameras in the courtroom sets the stage for a high-profile legal battle that will continue to capture the nation's attention. The case highlights the delicate balance between transparency and the potential influence of media coverage on legal proceedings. As the trial moves forward, all eyes will be on the courtroom drama that unfolds in this closely watched case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A Delta Junction woman finds herself in a precarious legal situation after Alaska State Troopers accused her of attempting to disguise a fatal hit-and-run incident as a collision with a moose. Chelsie Erickson, 32, was arrested on October 17, facing charges of negligent homicide, failure to render aid, and two counts of tampering with evidence. Her mother, Janell Erickson, 60, was also arrested and charged with tampering with evidence.    The incident dates back to the night of August 28 when Chelsie Erickson allegedly struck and killed 47-year-old John Emerick, who was walking along the side of the highway in Delta Junction near milepost 1421. Instead of reporting the accident, Erickson is accused of fleeing the scene.    The arrest followed an investigation triggered by a tip received by troopers about the hit-and-run. Authorities obtained a search warrant for Erickson’s home, leading to the discovery of potential evidence related to the incident.    According to reports, one of Erickson’s friends informed the police that Chelsie had mentioned hitting a moose on the same night that John Emerick was fatally injured. Investigators attempted to locate the moose in question, as Erickson claimed it had run into the woods following the collision. However, they were unable to locate any such animal.    Intriguingly, Erickson never reported the alleged moose collision to the authorities. Police, however, did locate a vehicle matching the description provided by witnesses on the night of Emerick's tragic death. Inside a locked detached garage on Erickson’s property, they found a 2014 Chevy Silverado pickup truck. The vehicle had several pieces of its front-end grill removed, and moose hairs were discovered scattered on top of the engine. Notably, there was no fur present on the front of the truck.   The investigation also revealed that a moose head hanging in the Erickson’s garage appeared to have bald spots, raising suspicions that moose hair had been deliberately collected from the mount and then spread over the truck's engine compartment. This discovery led authorities to conclude that an attempt had been made to create a false narrative of a moose collision.   Chelsie Erickson and her mother, Janell Erickson, have both been arrested and incarcerated at the Fairbanks Correctional Center.   The case highlights the serious nature of the charges facing Chelsie Erickson, including negligent homicide, failure to render aid, and tampering with evidence, all related to the tragic hit-and-run incident. Tampering with evidence charges were also filed against Janell Erickson, possibly for her alleged involvement in attempting to disguise the true circumstances of the incident.   The legal proceedings are expected to unfold in the coming months, shedding further light on the events of that fateful night and the actions taken by the Erickson family in its aftermath.   This case underscores the importance of reporting accidents promptly and accurately to authorities, as well as the potential consequences of attempting to conceal the truth. The accused individuals will have their day in court, where the legal system will determine their culpability in this unfortunate incident. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

*These statistics were current at the time of this recording.* Maine Governor Janet Mills has confirmed a devastating shooting incident that left at least 18 people dead and 13 injured in Lewiston. The suspect, identified as Robert Card, is currently at large, and state police have issued a murder warrant for his arrest.    The tragedy unfolded at a bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston, where Card opened fire, causing chaos and fear among patrons. The shooting occurred around 7 p.m. on Wednesday, prompting a massive response from law enforcement agencies and a shelter-in-place advisory for residents.    Governor Mills expressed her deep condolences to the affected community, stating, "This city did not deserve this terrible assault on its citizens, on its peace of mind, on its sense of security."    Robert Card, a 40-year-old firearms instructor believed to be in the U.S. Army Reserve, has been identified as the primary suspect. Maine State Police Col. William Ross announced that a warrant for Card's arrest has been issued on eight counts of murder, with the possibility of additional charges as the remaining victims are identified.    The suspect's history reveals that Card had been committed to a mental health facility for two weeks in the summer of 2023, although details of his treatment remain undisclosed. Authorities received reports of Card expressing threats to "shoot up" a military base, further emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.    The tragedy unfolded across two locations, with an active shooter reported at Schemengees Bar and Grille and Sparetime Recreation, a nearby bowling alley. Witnesses recounted their terrifying experiences, with one individual describing hearing about 10 shots, initially mistaking them for balloons popping.    Schools across the region took precautions, with some closing as far away as Kennebunk, more than 50 miles from Lewiston. Additionally, Bates and Bowdoin colleges canceled classes, along with the Gorham and Portland campuses of the University of Southern Maine.    The incident has raised concerns about gun laws in Maine, which does not require permits to carry guns and has a strong gun ownership culture tied to hunting and sport shooting traditions. Recent attempts to tighten gun laws, such as background checks for private sales and a 72-hour waiting period for purchases, have faced resistance.    Notable author Stephen King, who lives near the affected area, expressed his sentiments on the issue, saying, "It's the rapid-fire killing machines, people. This is madness in the name of freedom. Stop electing apologists for murder."    The shooting in Lewiston marks the 36th mass killing in the United States this year, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. It has left the community reeling and ignited a nationwide conversation about the urgent need for gun control measures.     As the investigation unfolds, law enforcement agencies are working diligently to locate and apprehend Robert Card, while the residents of Lewiston come to terms with the devastating loss they've suffered.

In a groundbreaking development, authorities in Texarkana, Arkansas, have finally cracked a chilling cold case that has remained unsolved for over four decades. DNA evidence has led them to identify Weldon Alexander, the father of the victims, as the prime suspect in the 1981 murder of his own children, Karen and Gordon Alexander.    At a press conference held on October 19, Texarkana Police Chief Michael Kramm announced the major breakthrough. He revealed that Weldon Alexander is believed to have fatally stabbed his 14-year-old daughter Karen and 13-year-old son Gordon in a horrifying incident that shook the community. Tragically, the suspect, Weldon Alexander, passed away in 2014, leaving unanswered questions surrounding the brutal crime.  The tragic events unfolded on April 8, 1981, when local authorities discovered the siblings in their Texarkana home. Gordon was found lifeless in the kitchen, while Karen, though grievously injured, was still clinging to life in the living room. Shockingly, the murder weapon was identified as a common butter knife retrieved from the crime scene. Karen was rushed to a local hospital, where she fought for her life in a coma for three agonizing days before succumbing to her injuries, as documented in a 1981 United Press International news report. Gordon, at the time of the brutal attack, was confined to a wheelchair, making the crime even more heart-wrenching.  Initial investigations unveiled a horrifying truth; Karen had suffered sexual assault in the 48 to 72 hours leading up to her death and had likely endured this horrific abuse for around six months prior. Authorities disclosed these disturbing details during the recent press conference. One of the perplexing aspects of the case was the absence of signs of forced entry into the Alexander family's home. At the time of the murders, Karen and Gordon's mother, Vera Alexander, was hospitalized for mental health issues, while their father, Weldon, was working an overnight shift at Copper Tire and Rubber.  Weldon's account of the events added to the mystery. He claimed to have arrived home from work shortly after 7 a.m. that fateful morning, finding both the screen door and the wooden front door slightly ajar. Inside, he discovered his son deceased in the kitchen and believed his daughter might still be alive in the living room area. Shockingly, he reportedly removed a kitchen knife from Karen's body and placed it on a nearby bookshelf before the arrival of law enforcement. Over the years, detectives tirelessly pursued leads and interviewed numerous individuals associated with the case. In 1983, Henry Lee Lucas, a notorious serial killer known as the "Confession Killer," falsely confessed to the murders. However, lack of concrete evidence prevented any charges against him, and the case eventually went cold. In February 2022, the case received new life when retired Capt. Calvin Seward, who had been a patrol officer at the time of the murders, reopened the investigation. Over the next 18 months, he meticulously identified, interviewed, and re-interviewed individuals connected to the original case. Crucially, he submitted DNA profiles into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) from individuals associated with the initial inquiry.    In a pivotal turn of events, DNA extracted from the victims' fingernail tissue in 2022 yielded results indicating a familial relationship with Weldon Alexander. Furthermore, Weldon's semen was discovered on Karen's bedding. Investigators also uncovered evidence suggesting that Gordon had died hours earlier than initially believed, as his body was cold to the touch when officers arrived at the scene.   Capt. Seward, speaking to reporters, suggested a horrifying sequence of events, stating that he believes Weldon attempted to assault his daughter, prompting his son to intervene, resulting in a brutal attack on both siblings.   In a press release, Texarkana police stated, "It is our hope that the friends and remaining family of Gordon and Karen Alexander may find some peace in knowing that scientific and circumstantial evidence has been revealed sufficient to resolve this 42-year-old case." Miller County Prosecuting Attorney Connie Mitchell expressed confidence that Weldon Alexander is the sole suspect in the murders. She stated that if he were alive today, she would be seeking an arrest warrant for two counts of capital murder. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A Minnesota man with expertise in poison science, Connor Bowman, aged 30, has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of his 32-year-old wife, Betty Bowman. Authorities allege that Connor administered a lethal dose of liquid colchicine, a substance used for treating gout, leading to Betty's untimely demise.    Betty Bowman's health took a dire turn in August when she was hospitalized with symptoms resembling food poisoning. Tragically, just four days later, on August 20, she succumbed to what an online obituary described as a "sudden onset autoimmune and infectious illness."    Authorities began investigating Betty's death, leading to the arrest of her husband, Connor Bowman, two months later. The criminal complaint alleges that Connor administered the toxic substance colchicine to Betty, which can be fatal when given at a high dosage, exceeding 0.5mg/kg, according to the National Library of Medicine.    The complaint further reveals that Connor had conducted online searches to determine Betty's weight in milligrams and multiplied it by 0.8mg, a dosage far surpassing the safe limits. Additionally, his online search history reportedly showed queries related to purchasing colchicine five days before Betty's death, as well as questions about the legal implications of internet searches and deleting Amazon data.    Betty's tragic passing has left a void in the lives of her loved ones. A GoFundMe page organized by Sarah Leeser aims to raise funds to assist Betty's mother, Nancy Sponsel, with memorial costs, legal expenses, and other bills related to this heartbreaking incident. Betty, who worked as a pharmacist, was remembered as "a light to so many people."    Connor, who was a medical student and worked as a poison specialist fielding phone calls for the University of Kansas, is a former resident of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. In a statement shared with PEOPLE, the Mayo Clinic clarified that Connor's employment at the facility ended earlier this month, unrelated to the charges he now faces.    "We are aware of the recent arrest of a former Mayo Clinic resident on charges unrelated to his Mayo Clinic responsibilities," the statement read. It remains unclear whether Connor has entered a plea or retained legal representation at this time.    Betty's vibrant and outgoing personality left a lasting impact on those who knew her. An online obituary dedicated to her memory stated, "Betty inspired and encouraged others to be their truest selves." She lived life to the fullest, embracing opportunities to travel and experience new places.    In line with Betty's passion for helping others, the obituary directed well-wishers to a donation page for The Trevor Project, a suicide prevention organization supporting the LGBTQ community. As the legal proceedings continue, the community remains shocked by this tragic turn of events, and Betty's memory lives on as a testament to her kindness and vivacity.    This incident serves as a somber reminder of the importance of responsible use of substances and the consequences of actions that can lead to the loss of a loved one. Legal proceedings will shed further light on the circumstances surrounding Betty Bowman's tragic death. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A 44-year-old off-duty pilot was apprehended on more than 160 charges following his alleged attempt to disrupt the plane's engines midflight, raising genuine security concerns.  The incident unfolded on Sunday, October 22, aboard a Horizon Airlines flight operated by Alaska Airlines, en route from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco. Authorities received reports of a credible security threat involving an off-duty pilot occupying a flight deck jump seat.    Identified as Joseph Emerson by KOIN-TV, the off-duty pilot purportedly made an unsuccessful attempt to interfere with the engine's operation. The aircraft's captain and first officer successfully thwarted Emerson's efforts, and Alaska Airlines confirmed that the plane never lost engine power, with the crew securing the aircraft without any further incident.    To address the situation, air traffic control redirected the flight, leading to an emergency landing at Portland International Airport, where Emerson was apprehended. Multnomah County Jail records indicate that Emerson faces a total of 83 counts of attempted murder, 83 counts of reckless endangerment, and one count of endangering an aircraft.    Alaska Airlines reassured passengers that they were accommodated on a subsequent flight without any disruptions.

A judge has ruled in favor of returning the remains of Joshua "J.J" Vallow to his family members. Despite Chad Daybell awaiting his trial in April 2024, both Lori Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell's legal representatives had previously agreed to consumptive DNA testing in 2022, which exhaustively uses all remaining DNA and can only be performed once. The remains of J.J. and his sister, Tylee Ryan, have been held at Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg since authorities discovered their remains buried in Chad Daybell's Fremont County property on June 9, 2020. On October 12, 2023, Chad Daybell's attorney, John Prior, filed a Stipulation to Release, which Judge Steven Boyce signed on Monday, October 16, 2023. J.J.'s body has been in state custody since the discovery, while Tylee Ryan's remains will remain in state custody, with no known release date.   Lori Vallow Daybell, the children's mother, has been convicted of murdering her two children and conspiring to murder Tammy Daybell. She is serving life sentences without the possibility of parole and faces additional charges in Arizona.   Extradition papers from Arizona to Idaho were sent in August 2023, pending Idaho Governor Brad Little's approval to transfer Lori to Arizona. Currently, she is housed in the Women's Correctional Facility in Pocatello, Idaho. J.J. Vallow's grandparents issued a statement to KMVT:  "These past few years have been filled with pain and grief as we've journeyed down this long and difficult path. We have waited and prayed for this day for so long and are immensely relieved that JJ will finally be laid to rest.   In recent days, we have immersed ourselves in the memories of the love and happiness that JJ brought to our lives, and he continues to shine his light upon us. As we reflect on the joy that JJ filled our lives with, our hearts ache for all those who loved JJ and share in the profound grief and loss of this beautiful young boy.   We are grateful for the love and support of all those who have come to love JJ, Tylee, and Charles. As we persist in our pursuit of justice, the dedication and strength we've received have helped carry us through this ordeal.    We anxiously await news of when Tylee can also be laid to rest. Our greatest wish is for JJ and Tylee to be celebrated for the joy and love they brought into this world and for them to finally find peace in their rest. Only then will our hearts begin to heal.    Memorial services will be announced at a later date."  -Larry and Kay Woodcock Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A South Carolina man faces life in federal prison after his wife's burned body was discovered in a 'makeshift' grave in 2020," according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Lawrence Joseph Florentine, 56, has "pleaded guilty to interstate domestic violence resulting in death, use of a firearm during a crime of violence to cause death, obstruction of justice, and use of fire during the commission of a felony" over three years after his wife Nicole Zahnd Florentine's body was found "charred" with a ".22 caliber bullet wound to the head" determined to be her cause of death, per a release. The U.S. Attorney's Office noted that the two had a "volatile" relationship after marrying in 2018, citing recordings and observations from family. Since December 2019, authorities in York County responded to multiple calls from Nicole, who accused Lawrence of physically abusing her and having "threatened to kill her, burn her, and bury her." Lawrence was previously arrested twice on domestic violence charges, one of which was at least partially dismissed at Nicole's request. Then, on May 23, 2020, the couple’s home in Rock Hill was "destroyed by fire," the release from the U.S. Attorney's Office noted. "Text messages and photographs Florentine sent to Nicole during the fire show that he intentionally burned her belongings and intentionally set the property on fire," the release read. "Florentine is charged with arson in state court in connection with the fire." Between June 2 and June 11 of that year, the two then traveled together by car and were last known to be in Piedmont, South Carolina, according to an FBI investigation. Nicole's grandmother reportedly filed a missing person report when she stopped hearing from her during the trip.  A body that was later identified as Nicole's was found by a groundskeeper for Hill Cemetery in Fredonia, Kentucky, on June 13, 2020. "A gas can was recovered from behind a tree near the burial site," the release notes. "No identification, cell phone, or other personal belongings were found." After eyewitnesses reported seeing a car identical to Florentine's and a hardware store clerk identified a transaction for a shovel and gas can to someone who matched Florentine’s description, surveillance footage later featured Florentine filling the can at a nearby station, per the office. "No firearm was found; however, police recovered a lighter and .22 caliber cartridges in the center console and located Nicole’s blood on the rear exterior of Florentine’s abandoned car," the release noted. "Sometime after June 11, 2020, Florentine fled Kentucky and arrived in Denver, Colorado. On June 23, 2020, he surrendered to the Denver Police."   Florentine, who faces life in prison, also faces eight years of supervision after his sentence, and a fine of up to $250,000 restitution.  A date for sentencing has not yet been announced, and Florentine will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Donald C. Coggins. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a heart-wrenching revelation this week, Carolyn Andriano, one of the courageous victims who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell in the high-profile sex-trafficking trial, passed away from an accidental overdose.    The West Palm Beach Police Department spokesperson, Mike Jachles, confirmed that the 36-year-old was discovered in a hotel room in West Palm Beach, Florida, on May 23. The toxic combination of methadone, fentanyl, and alprazolam took her life. Disturbingly, Andriano had confessed in 2021 to a history of addiction to pain pills and cocaine, substances she used as coping mechanisms against the memories of Epstein's repeated abuses.    Beginning in 2001, when Andriano was just 14, she underwent four harrowing years of abuse at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion. As she departed, she left behind her grieving husband, John Pitts Jr., five children, and her mother, Dorothy Groenert. It is a devastating reminder of the lasting repercussions of Epstein's actions, as Andriano became the second known survivor of his abuse to suffer a fatal overdose in Palm Beach County.    In a similar case, Leigh Skye Patrick, another survivor, was found dead in 2017. Her twin sister, Selby Patrick, candidly stated to the Daily Mail in 2019, "She suffered tremendously, and it started with Epstein."    The Epstein saga has persistently stayed in international headlines due to the vast network of powerful figures connected to the disgraced investment banker. Names like Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump have emerged, deepening the intrigue. Epstein's death in 2019, while he awaited trial on federal sex trafficking charges, only intensified public scrutiny.    In another significant development, Palm Beach County Circuit Court Judge Luis Delgado is examining the grand jury transcripts, possibly releasing them "in furtherance of justice". This move comes after The Palm Beach Post, an affiliate of the USA TODAY Network, pushed for the reveal of these documents in 2019. Their investigative efforts spotlighted questionable legal decisions from the past where Epstein's most severe allegations were downplayed, resulting in what many call the "deal of the century" in 2008.    A recent peek into Andriano's personal life showed her purchasing a $570,000 house in North Carolina, just a month prior to her tragic demise. Court documents have also shed light on an ensuing legal battle between her husband and mother regarding Andriano's estate. Signed in 2010, her will named her mother and her two eldest children as the beneficiaries. Further complicating matters, Andriano had a substantial $183,000 in savings at the time of her death, with expected settlements from JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank looming.    Andriano's heartrending testimony in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial played a pivotal role in the conviction. A juror from the trial, identified as David, told ITV that her testimony was "the most gripping" and her life story evoked deep compassion. Post-trial, Andriano stepped forward, shedding her anonymity. She detailed her traumatic past and frequent visits to Epstein's mansion. Virginia Giuffre, who introduced her to Epstein, had confided in her about Prince Andrew's alleged abuse.    In a poignant statement to the Daily Mail, Andriano declared, "I’m not ashamed at being a victim of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. For other girls that have been victimized, I want them to know that it is OK to come out and tell somebody − even if you don’t want to be identified − and the sooner the better."    Her untimely death stands as a grim reminder of the prolonged effects of trauma and the importance of support systems for survivors of abuse. As the legal and emotional aftermath of the Epstein saga continues, Andriano's voice will be remembered for its courage and resilience. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a startling development in the Delphi murders case, defense attorneys Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi announced their withdrawal from representing Richard Allen, the man accused of the brutal killing of two teenage girls in 2017. This decision comes in the wake of a significant leak of sensitive information, including graphic crime scene photographs, from their office.    The Delphi murders, which took place over six years ago, saw the tragic deaths of Abby Williams, 13, and Libby German, 14. The two girls were found murdered on a hiking trail just outside their hometown of Delphi. Richard Allen, 51, was charged with their murders in October 2022 after forensic evidence linked a .40-caliber round found at the crime scene to a gun he owned.    Special Judge Fran Gull, during a scheduled hearing, termed the attorneys' decision as an "unexpected turn of events." While the exact reasons for Baldwin and Rozzi's withdrawal remain undisclosed, it coincides with the revelation of the leak of crucial court documents from Baldwin's office. David R. Hennessy, representing Baldwin, stated in a memorandum that three suspected "disseminators" had "betrayed" Baldwin, accessing case-related documents that were securely stored.    "Attorney Baldwin did nothing wrong. He was snookered and abused," asserted Hennessy, emphasizing Baldwin's innocence in the leak.    This recent development has cast uncertainty over the timeline of Allen's trial. While a hearing is scheduled for Oct. 31, Judge Gull expressed skepticism over retaining the original trial date of Jan. 8. "I don’t believe counsel will be prepared within the next couple of months to try a case of this magnitude in January," she remarked.    Adding another layer of complexity to the case, Allen had previously confessed to the murders during prison phone calls to his wife and mother. However, these confessions are now under scrutiny. Baldwin and Rozzi had earlier posited a theory suggesting that the girls were "ritualistically sacrificed" by a racist pagan cult known as Odinists. They argued that Allen was "monitored, intimidated, and mentally abused" at Westville Correctional Facility by corrections officers who were members of this cult. The defense attorneys further claimed that the cult might have targeted the girls due to a mixed-race relationship in their family.    "Nothing, absolutely nothing, links Richard Allen to Odinism or any religious cult," Baldwin and Rozzi emphasized in a September filing, challenging the narrative of Allen's involvement with the cult.

In a shocking development, investigators have unearthed the remains of nearly 200 people from a funeral home in Penrose, Colorado. The authorities were alerted to the Return to Nature Funeral Home weeks ago, following complaints about an "abhorrent smell" that turned out to be the decaying bodies of more than a hundred individuals.    According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the grim discovery comprises at least 189 bodies, which have since been relocated to the El Paso County Coroner’s Office for further examination. The funeral home, positioned about 100 miles south of Denver, came under scrutiny earlier this month when initial reports revealed 115 human remains improperly stored on the property.    Jon Hallford, the owner of the establishment, has been accused of attempting to hide the maltreatment of the remains. In a letter dated October 5th, officials highlighted that state regulators suspended the license of the Colorado Springs-based funeral home after these revelations. Hallford confessed to the regulators, admitting to a "problem" at the property and mentioning his practice of taxidermy there.    Describing the situation, Fremont County Sheriff Allen Cooper termed the inside of the facility, which is approximately 2,500 square feet, as "horrific". Cooper's comments underscore the severity of the discovery, especially when considering the adverse reaction of a paramedic on the scene who developed a rash and needed medical assessment.    While this investigation is ongoing, Sheriff Cooper emphasized that the focus is also on the affected families. "We want to do all we can to provide the families the support they need as we shift to the next phase in this process," Cooper stated.    The tedious task of confirming identities and informing surviving family members has begun, with DNA testing anticipated to span several months. "We are conducting extensive coordination efforts as we focus on the identification of the decedents," expressed Fremont County Coroner Randy Keller, aiming to prevent further trauma for the grieving families.    Currently, it's uncertain if the funeral home operator will face criminal charges. Sheriff Cooper has previously noted that no arrests or charges had been made and that Hallford, whose name was initially withheld, was cooperating with the investigation.    This incident brings to light Colorado's notably lax oversight laws regarding funeral homes. As reported by the Colorado Springs Gazette, Colorado stands as the only state without mandates on minimal education and training for licensing funeral homes. Even more alarming is the revelation that state regulators possibly failed to inspect or even contact Return to Nature for nearly a year after its registration expired.    Regrettably, this isn't the first instance of malpractice related to funeral homes in Colorado. Megan Hess, ex-owner of Sunset Mesa funeral home, was sentenced to two decades of imprisonment earlier this year for her involvement in stealing and selling bodies or body parts.    Jon Hallford isn't a novice in the funeral business. He established his green burial service in Colorado Springs in 2017, after gaining experience in Oklahoma at his family's funeral home. Notably, he made headlines in 2006, due to a misdemeanor gun charge related to a misguided prank.    Green burials, a method that allows natural decomposition, is legally permitted in Colorado. This eco-friendly alternative, however, demands that any body not interred within a day be adequately refrigerated, as per the state code.    Return to Nature Funeral Home previously advertised green burials for $1,895, not inclusive of a casket or burial plot. Additionally, they offered cremation services for $1,290, which were discontinued last July.    Residents living nearby recounted the odorous stench emanating from the funeral home weeks prior to the investigation. "We just assumed it was a dead animal," shared Joyce Pavetti, a 73-year-old local.    The FBI is actively seeking information from individuals who suspect the wrongful storage of their loved one's remains at this funeral home. The bureau encourages these individuals to fill out an online survey to aid their investigation. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a chilling revelation, Joran van der Sloot has confessed to the murder of Natalee Holloway, almost two decades after she vanished in Aruba. The 36-year-old's confession was obtained by PEOPLE, shedding light on one of the most enigmatic cases in recent memory.    According to the partial transcript, van der Sloot admitted to attempting to seduce Natalee on a beach. However, after the 18-year-old declined his advances, he attacked her. Van der Sloot stated, "she tells me 'no'… Uh, I insist. I keep feeling her up either way." In the ensuing altercation, he kicked her in the face, leaving her "unconscious, possibly even... dead," and then brutally struck her with a cinder block he found nearby.    This heart-wrenching confession provides insights into the final hours of Natalee Holloway, an aspiring doctor who had traveled to Aruba to celebrate her high school graduation. She had been last seen leaving a bar with van der Sloot earlier that day.    Van der Sloot recounted the chilling aftermath of the crime, saying he pulled Natalee's body into the ocean, let it drift away, and simply "walked home." This admission fills the void of years of speculation and anguish for Natalee's family.    However, due to the statute of limitations for murder in Aruba, which stands at 12 years, it is unlikely that van der Sloot will face prosecution for this heinous crime.    Further compounding the family's agony, Natalee was legally declared dead in 2012, but her remains have never been located. Making matters even more convoluted, van der Sloot had deceitfully extorted about $25,000 from Natalee's mother, Beth Holloway, in 2010. He falsely promised her answers about her daughter's mysterious disappearance.    The deception did not end there. Van der Sloot subsequently used the extorted funds to flee to Peru. It was there that he committed another appalling crime: the murder of a 21-year-old student, Stephany Flores Ramírez. Eerily, this murder occurred exactly five years to the day of Natalee's disappearance.    The web of crimes stretched even further. Van der Sloot's confession emerged as part of a plea agreement related to a federal case in Alabama, where he faced charges of extortion and fraud. He was handed a 20-year sentence for these financial crimes. This sentencing will run alongside his 28-year prison term in Peru. However, should he be released early from the Peruvian jail, he will be obligated to serve the remainder of his 20-year sentence in the U.S.    The years of anguish have taken a toll on Natalee's family. However, this latest development has provided a semblance of closure. Outside the Birmingham, Ala. courthouse, Natalee's mother, Beth, remarked that van der Sloot's confession and subsequent sentencing meant "the end" to their "never-ending nightmare." She poignantly stated, "It feels victorious. Like we finally transitioned from the victim to the victor."    The Holloway case, with its twists and turns, has gripped the nation for years. While justice may seem elusive in terms of a direct prosecution for Natalee's murder, the recent revelations and sentences offer some respite to a family that has endured unimaginable pain.

In a grim twist of events, the community of Maryland was rocked by the shocking discovery of a local mother's body on the renowned MA & PA Heritage Trail. Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old mother of five, and known fitness aficionado, went missing on Saturday, only to be tragically found dead a day later. As the search for her assailant intensifies, law enforcement and the community join hands, seeking any clues that might provide answers.     The Disappearance and Distressing Discovery  Rachel was last seen embarking on a routine evening trail run, an activity she relished. Richard Tobin, her recently announced boyfriend, reported her missing late Saturday night, revealing to the authorities that she left their home around 6 p.m. for her run but never returned.     Upon investigation, Sheriff Jeffery Gahler of the Harford County Sheriff's Office informed the press that Rachel's car was located, still parked at the trailhead. But there was no sign of Rachel. "Her car was there, but she was not," Sheriff Gahler gravely noted, acknowledging the immediate concern this brought to her family.     The community rallied, with countless volunteers joining the official search parties. It was one of these volunteers who, on Sunday, stumbled upon the chilling sight of Rachel's body off the trail. The scene left detectives with undeniable "indicators" pointing towards murder, leading Sheriff Gahler to sadly declare, "It’s a homicide case."     The Aftermath and Public Plea     In the wake of Rachel's death, law enforcement has intensified their investigation. "Right now, detectives continue to work the case as aggressively as they possibly can. We will leave no stone unturned," assured Sheriff Gahler. The police have maintained a consistent presence along the trail, warning hikers to remain vigilant and cautious as the manhunt continues.     The Harford County Sheriff's Office has been active on social media, urging anyone present on the MA & PA Trail on Saturday, or residents living near the trailhead with external security cameras, to come forward with any photographs or videos. These might offer pivotal insights or clues into the unsolved crime.     Community and Boyfriend Respond     Richard Tobin, who went 'Facebook official' with Rachel at the start of August, addressed the community through social media. He passionately pleaded, "I love Rachel, I would never do anything to her. Let the family and I grieve." Touching upon his past, Tobin highlighted his personal growth, stating he's been "15 months clean" and has evolved as an individual.     The Morin family's plight doesn't end with Rachel's untimely death. A mere week before this incident, Rachel’s niece, baby Lily Beth, tragically passed away due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The little angel, not even four months old at the time of her demise, left a void in the Morin family's heart, as described in her obituary.     In light of these back-to-back heartbreaks, the Morins, who are grappling with immeasurable grief, have initiated a GoFundMe campaign. The purpose is twofold: to help cover Rachel's funeral costs and to provide financial support for her five children. It's significant to note that Rachel did not have a life insurance policy. On the fundraising platform, Rebekah Morin, Rachel's sister, poignantly penned, "She deserves a funeral worthy of her beauty."     Additionally, Rachel’s sister Rebekah has shared a separate GoFundMe link on her social media, seeking contributions for their brother Nathan, Lily Beth's grieving father.

As the story unfolds, the main suspect in the high-profile disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, Joran van der Sloot, is slated to plead guilty to federal charges. The courtroom will be in a tense anticipation this Wednesday as it weighs a plea deal with significant implications.    The Holloway family attorney, John Q. Kelly, in a recent interview with the Today Show, shed light on the conditions tied to this plea deal. "The plea is predicated on Mr. van der Sloot divulging the specifics of how Natalee met her tragic end and the manner in which her body was discarded," Kelly stated.    To understand the gravity of these charges, one needs to rewind a bit. van der Sloot had previously entered a "not guilty" plea for one count each of extortion and wire fraud, aimed at Natalee Holloway's grieving mother, Beth Holloway. The root of these charges? A sinister plot wherein Beth Holloway was promised crucial information about her daughter's unfortunate fate in exchange for a whopping $250,000.    This tale took a twist in 2010 when the tips that Kelly received turned out to be a sham, triggering the federal charges in the U.S. However, Kelly is now optimistic about the new information as part of van der Sloot's revised plea agreement. "The FBI has meticulously vetted the intel shared by van der Sloot. The plea agreement hinges on this corroboration and any other substantiation they managed to secure from the shared details. So far, the information seems credible enough for both Beth and Dave," Kelly elaborated.    In the lead-up to this anticipated hearing, van der Sloot's legal team secured multiple pretrial extensions, prolonging the agony for the Holloway family. Set for 9:30 a.m. at the federal courthouse in Birmingham, the plea and sentencing hearing was remarkably brief, clocking in at under five minutes.    During this hearing, van der Sloot confidently declined the assistance of a Dutch translator, asserting, "My English is actually pretty perfect." When quizzed by Judge Gray Boden about comprehending his Constitutional rights and the charges levied against him, van der Sloot unflinchingly responded, "Yes sir."    Notably, he chose to forgo a reading of his two-count indictment, and his not guilty plea was communicated through his attorney, Kevin Butler. The prosecution underscored the importance of keeping van der Sloot in U.S. custody, referencing a treaty with Peru where he is still slated to complete his sentence for a separate murder case.    A Look at the Background    The story traces back to 2005, when Natalee Holloway, a vibrant 18-year-old from Mountain Brook, Alabama, embarked on what should have been a joyous high school graduation trip to Aruba. Tragically, she never boarded her return flight home.    Eyewitnesses, including her classmates, last spotted her with a then 17-year-old Joran van der Sloot and a couple of his acquaintances outside a club. While the trio claimed to have safely dropped her off at a hotel, their subsequent detention was short-lived due to insufficient evidence.    In a shocking revelation in 2010, van der Sloot reached out to a cooperative witness via email, proposing a deal. He expressed willingness to accept $250,000 from the Holloway family, pledging in return to lead them to Natalee's remains, identify those involved in her death, and elucidate the events leading to it. As a gesture of good faith, he agreed to accept an upfront payment of $25,000 to guide the witness to the body, with the promise of receiving the balance upon recovery. The Holloway family transferred the first installment of $10,000 in cash, followed by a wire of $15,000. This transaction set the stage for the wire fraud charge against him.    In conclusion, as the Holloway family seeks closure, the world watches keenly. Only time will tell if the truth about Natalee Holloway's disappearance will finally come to light. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Kouri Richins, the Summit County woman currently imprisoned for allegedly poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, with fentanyl, is no stranger to controversy. The latest chapter in her legal battle revolves around a mysterious document, dramatically dubbed the "Walk the Dog" manuscript.    Prosecutors are pulling no punches, plainly stating, "Kouri Richins' was writing instructions to her family on how to testify in court." This is a claim that Richins and her legal team are fervently denying. Instead, they retort that she's been hard at work crafting a "fictional book."    However, prosecutors have expressed their desire to review this "book" in its entirety. Their recent request was quite direct: they want "the whole manuscript -- all 65 pages' worth." It’s their belief that these pages could be instrumental in shedding light on the true nature of the document.    This mystery began last month when jail officials stumbled upon a paper in Richins' cell. To them, the paper appeared to be guiding her family members on how they should approach their testimonies. This discovery initiated a cascade of events which brought us to the present stand-off.    According to recent reports, prosecutors have taken a bold step this week, asking "the court to compel Richins and her attorneys to turn over the rest of the so-called 'Walk the Dog' document, which may contain another 60 to 65 pages."    Digging deeper, new court files reveal a transcript of an intriguing conversation. This was a phone call Richins made while incarcerated, explaining her side of the controversy to a family member. In her words, she tried to clear the air, stating that the "Walk the Dog" letter was merely "one page of the full book to be called 'To Hell and Back.'"    On Sept. 14, the Summit County Sheriff's deputies made a discovery: a portion of the manuscript, conveniently hidden within an LSAT test preparation book. That same day, court documents highlighted that Richins handed "another 60 pages to her defense counsel, Skye Lazaro." But the deputies did not examine a manila envelope believed to contain the remaining pages. Richins had labeled this envelope "privileged."    She shed more light on the story during the phone call, stating, "After jumping bail, she and her father (who she noted has been dead for two years) go to Mexico to a ranch where Eric Richins had previously stayed. While there, they find the people who sold Eric Richins the fentanyl that killed him. They also realize that human trafficking is happening at the ranch. They attempt to return to America, where Richins is arrested for fleeing the country."    During this phone exchange, her brother, Ronald Darden, reacted with astonishment, exclaiming, "Oh my God. Are you serious?" Richins replied, "Yes. That's what I'm trying to say. It's a 65-page novel. They read the whole thing. And on the front of the novel -- this is the worst part. On the front of the book, it literally says, 'These are true events that have happened in my life'..." However, she quickly added that these events were modified for a fiction novel.    Amid this drama, the prosecutors argue that the "Walk the Dog" letter isn’t a mere work of fiction. Their stance is firm: "[The Walk the Dog] Letter is the defendant's frantic, dishonest attempt to explain how Eric Richins may have obtained illicit drugs when all available evidence establishes that she, in fact, obtained the fatal fentanyl," they asserted in their petition. Their argument hinges on the belief that "The WTD Letter illustrates the defendant's consciousness of guilt."    With the next hearing set for Nov. 3, the prosecutors are eager to get their hands on the manuscript.    This case is more than just a legal battle; it's a dramatic tale with twists and turns, reminiscent of a best-selling crime novel. Only time will reveal whether the "Walk the Dog" manuscript is a genuine work of fiction or a cleverly disguised alibi. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a quaint town in Minnesota, the fall of 1989 witnessed a harrowing event that would shape the course of child safety regulations in the U.S. for decades to come. The unsolved disappearance and eventual tragic murder of 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling sent shockwaves across the nation, inspiring a movement for child safety and law reformation.    On that fateful evening of October 22, while Jacob was cycling home from a local convenience store in St. Joseph, Minnesota, with his brother Trevor and friend Aaron Larson, their innocent journey was cruelly interrupted. A masked man wielding a revolver forced the boys into a ditch. As Larson later recollected to ABC News, the harrowing incident felt surreal at first, "It became real pretty quick."    After seizing Jacob and threatening the remaining two with dire consequences, the abductor vanished. Despite the tireless efforts of the community, the FBI, and local police in the subsequent days, Jacob remained missing. His innocent face, symbolizing every family's worst nightmare, became a national call for action, appearing everywhere from milk cartons to highway billboards.    Years later, in 2014, a ray of hope appeared. Re-examining of the Wetterling case by the FBI's Child Abduction Rapid Deployment team brought Danny Heinrich, a resident of Paynesville, into the spotlight. Although initially a name of interest shortly after Jacob's disappearance, he was never formally linked to the crime.    However, with the advent of advanced DNA technology, investigators connected Heinrich to the clothes of Jared Scheierl, another boy victim from the same period. This discovery, while bringing Heinrich back to the investigators' radar, couldn't lead to his arrest due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. But fortune had other plans. Following a search warrant in 2015, Heinrich was arrested on child pornography charges, setting in motion a series of events that would finally bring closure to Jacob’s case.    As a part of a plea deal in 2016, Heinrich confessed to Jacob's abduction and subsequent murder, detailing the events of that October night. He recalled Jacob's heartbreaking question, "What did I do wrong?", before the heinous acts that followed. Through this confession, Jacob's remains were discovered, ending the 27-year-long search for him.    The pain and sorrow experienced by Jacob's family, especially his parents Patty and Jerry Wetterling, were unimaginable. Yet, rather than succumb to despair, they transformed their grief into a driving force for change. A year after their son's disappearance, they launched the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center. As stated on their website, its mission is to educate the public about child abduction and its prevention.    Furthermore, their advocacy efforts bore fruit with the inception of the 'Wetterling Act', mandating the establishment of sex offender registries across all states. Patty Wetterling's relentless determination was summed up by her husband Jerry in an interview with ABC News: "Jacob spurred Patty into being a bulldog for keeping kids safe."    The chronicle of this heart-wrenching journey, however, does not end here. Thirty-four years post the tragic incident, Patty Wetterling is about to release her book, titled "Dear Jacob: A Mother's Journey of Hope." As noted by co-author Joy Baker to the Star-Tribune, Patty's story is unparalleled. Not only did she endure the pain of a lost child but also transformed her anguish into a nationwide movement, changing laws and capturing the attention of the highest echelons of power.    Set to be published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press on October 17, the book promises to be an inspirational testament to a mother's love, hope, and unwavering resolve.    The tale of Jacob Wetterling stands as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life. But, more importantly, it highlights the indomitable spirit of a mother and a community that chose action over despair, leaving an enduring legacy in the realm of child safety.

In the picturesque Orlando neighborhood of Delaney Park, a tale of passion for property took a heart-wrenching turn. David Tronnes, a 55-year-old Florida man, currently stands trial for the murder of his wife, 39-year-old Shanti Cooper-Tronnes. The backdrop of this tragic story is a 4,000-square-foot house, a pool, and an intense ambition to feature on the reality TV show "Zombie House Flipping."    David had pinned his hopes on this reality TV endeavor to transform the financial trajectory of a home that had devoured much more than its share of resources. Prosecutor Michael Smith articulated that David saw the show as a “lifeline,” believing it would surge the value of their house by tens of thousands.    However, the heart of the tragedy lies in the alleged motive behind Shanti’s death. David's vision for the home, a dream that he believed would save them, was met with skepticism by his wife. This rift culminated a week after a critical meeting with Keith Ori, a contractor from "Zombie House Flipping." Shanti walked out, seemingly dismissive of David's grand plans. For David, her non-participation was a deal-breaker, and prosecutors contend that it led to her untimely death.    Ryan Vescio, who spearheaded the investigation into Shanti’s death, commented to "48 Hours," “This house became more than just a project to David Tronnes. It was his life.” A sentiment further supported by the fact that while David was engrossed in the house's renovation, it was Shanti who was bankrolling the effort, pouring nearly $250,000 of her own money into it.    Adding another layer of complexity to their dynamic, Shanti was identified as the “sole breadwinner” by Prosecutor Smith. A financial and accounting consultant by profession, she shared custody of her 8-year-old son from a previous marriage. Due to the ongoing home renovations, she and her son had been relegated to living in a garage apartment, sharing a bunk bed. Meanwhile, David resided in another section of the house with their dogs.    Keith Ori, the reality TV contractor, provided insight into the extent of David's renovations, saying, “They took away all the interior dividing walls and basically what was left was a two-story shell.” Ori's statement paints a picture of a house gutted to its bones, mirroring the fractured relationship between David and Shanti.    Authorities pointed out that deception formed a significant aspect of David's persona. Cooper-Tronnes’ stepfather, in a statement to WFTV, disclosed that David had misled them about his financial standing. “He always claimed he had millions, but Shanti bought everything,” he revealed.    It wasn't just financial deceit that David was engaged in. Authorities unveiled that he frequented a gay spa, indicating a concealed part of his life. The spa visits continued both after their wedding and shortly before Shanti’s death.    David and Shanti's romance began online, a beacon of hope for two souls searching for connection. David, then residing in Minnesota, eventually relocated to Florida, marking the beginning of their life together. But the relationship’s dark undercurrents soon surfaced. The focus shifted from love to the grandeur of a house that David was so "obsessed" with, culminating in the tragic demise of Shanti.    Questions emerged from the onset when first responders were summoned to the scene. Tronnes’ claim, stating that his wife had accidentally “passed out” in the bathtub, quickly came under scrutiny. Cooper-Tronnes’ injuries painted a starkly different narrative. Smith highlighted the evident “violent attack” she had suffered, with injuries including “a huge wound” on her face and “bruising around her neck.”    The trial, undoubtedly, is set to be emotionally charged and challenging. Interestingly, defense attorneys have chosen to defer their opening statement. Initial assessments ruled David incompetent for trial due to manifestations of schizophrenia. However, post-treatment at a state hospital, he was declared competent in May 2022, paving the way for the trial to proceed.    The case encapsulates more than just a tragic death; it serves as a window into the complexities of human relationships, the shadows of deceit, and the blinding allure of ambition.

A harrowing discovery in Georgia has exposed disturbing actions associated with the religious group, "Soldiers of Christ." Mihee Lee, 54, along with multiple members of the group, including her children, now face charges linked to the death of 33-year-old Sehee Cho.    On September 12, a grim find was made in Duluth – Cho’s lifeless body lay in the trunk of a car parked outside a South Korean spa. According to the Gwinnett Police Department, the victim had endured weeks of beatings and severe malnourishment. The nature of her prolonged suffering sends chills down the spine of any compassionate observer.    Mihee Lee is facing multiple charges including felony murder, false imprisonment, tampering with evidence, and more. Her children, Joonho Lee, 26, Juoonhyum Lee, 22, and Junyeong Lee, 15, have been apprehended on similar charges. Three other members - Hyunji Lee, 25, Eric Hyun, 26, and Lee family relative Gawom Lee, 26 - were arrested last month in connection with this crime.    However, a shocking twist was unveiled when Eric Hyun’s attorney disclosed that both his client and the deceased, Sehee Cho, were also victims of the very group they were a part of. David Boyle, representing Hyun, alleged that both were brutally tortured in the basement of the Lee residence, disguised as a religious initiation rite for their church.    The details of their ordeal are nothing short of horrifying. Eric Hyun was allegedly subjected to heinous acts, including being belted across his face and genitals, stripped, shot multiple times with an airsoft gun, and had skin sanded off his chest. These were acts meant to "indoctrinate him into their religious extremism," according to the statement. Financial coercion was also applied, with tens of thousands of dollars reportedly sent to Korea and credit cards maxed out.    Sehee Cho, who had relocated from South Korea to Atlanta to become part of the Soldiers of Christ, was found weighing just around 70 lbs. The Gwinnett Police, in their press release, expressed their belief that malnourishment played a role in her tragic demise.    Gwinnett Police Sgt. Michele Pihera, in a conversation with PEOPLE, left the door open to more charges, saying, "If any additional probable cause presents itself, more charges could be forthcoming."    After Cho's body was discovered, an investigation led the authorities to a house in Lawrenceville, GA. It is in this house's basement where they suspect the gruesome crime unfolded. The case unraveled when Eric Hyun, allegedly, drove the car containing Cho’s body to the Jeju Sauna, left it parked, and later had a family member discover the body when retrieving a personal item.    According to Fox5, among the arrested, Joonho Lee, is an Emory University student. While he remains in custody without bond, Eric Hyun has been granted one. The others, Juoonhyum Lee, Gawom Lee, and Hyunji Lee, still remain detained.    This case unveils the dark underside of religious fanaticism, painting a grim picture of how beliefs can be distorted to justify heinous actions. As the investigation continues, many await the full revelations and justice for Sehee Cho. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a shocking revelation, Oklahoma's Lincoln County District Judge Traci Soderstrom is under intense scrutiny after allegedly sending over 500 text messages filled with mockery and bias during a pivotal murder trial she presided over in June.    According to a petition filed on Tuesday, these controversial texts were exchanged with a bailiff, in which Judge Soderstrom openly mocked trial participants, including attorneys, jurors, and witnesses. The exchanges displayed a palpable bias against state prosecutors while showing a clear inclination toward the defendant. She was also cited complimenting the defense attorney on numerous occasions.    The allegations came to light following a thorough investigation into Judge Soderstrom's phone usage by the Council on Judicial Complaints. While Soderstrom's attorney has yet to provide a comment to major news outlets, including CNN, the details within the petition raise significant concerns about the impartiality of the judicial process in this particular trial.    Presiding over a first-degree murder trial, Soderstrom saw the defendant being pronounced guilty of a lesser charge - second-degree manslaughter. The verdict led to a sentence of four years, equivalent to the time the defendant already served, ensuring no further jail time. Conversely, a co-defendant in the case, charged with enabling child abuse, received a harsher 25-year prison sentence after accepting a plea deal.    Several texts have been highlighted to emphasize the alleged misconduct. In one exchange, Soderstrom remarked about the district attorney "sweating through his coat." In another text, she oddly inquired about the prosecutor's hand size, questioning, "Why does he have baby hands? … They are so weird looking," as noted by Chief Justice M. John Kane IV.    Her apparent admiration for the defense attorney also shone through in her messages. "She's awesome," she texted the bailiff during one of the defense attorney's addresses to the jury, even considering aloud (or rather, in text) whether she could clap for her.    Among the myriad of messages, other comments ranged from calling a police officer "pretty" to declaring a video as "boring" and even speculating on a juror's possible wig. One particularly alarming message hinted at her preconceived notions about the trial's outcome. She stated there would be "no way they get guilty on murder" because of a perceived lack of DNA evidence.    Following the trial's conclusion, the district attorney's office was alerted by a sheriff's deputy about Soderstrom's continuous phone usage. The evidence was irrefutable: a 51-minute video clip from a courtroom camera showcased her extensive phone engagement.    The Council on Judicial Complaints, after an in-person hearing with Judge Soderstrom, deemed her texts as severe breaches of the code of judicial conduct. When confronted about her phone usage during the trial, Soderstrom merely remarked that she was "texting about things that were – probably could have waited," brushing off the gravity of her actions by saying, "(I)t was like, 'Oh, that’s funny. Move on.'"    It wasn't just these text messages that have put her in hot water. The petition also highlighted several other instances of Soderstrom's inappropriate behavior both inside the courtroom and on her social media platforms. One notable instance was during her hearing where she reportedly used profanities three times within the initial six minutes of her testimony.    The case against Judge Traci Soderstrom is now slated for January 3, 2024. She had assumed her role on the bench in the 23rd Judicial District of Oklahoma just earlier this year, in January 2023.    With the integrity of the justice system hanging in the balance, the forthcoming trial will be closely watched by legal experts and the public alike.

· Convicted killer Alex Murdaugh's attorneys have asked federal prosecutors to assume control of his assets from co-receivers appointed by a state judge. · Federal prosecutors responded, clarifying they have no intention to seize the assets in the state court Receivership currently. · The state of South Carolina claimed jurisdiction over Murdaugh's assets before the federal government, limiting federal intervention. · Murdaugh’s assets were put under receivership on Nov. 4, 2021, assigning John T. Lay and Peter M. McCoy as co-receivers. · Murdaugh's attorneys claim that the receivers have taken control of $2.1 million of his assets and paid out significant amounts to the co-receivers. · The prosecutors highlighted that the fees charged by the co-receivers were at a "significant discount" and were approved by a state court judge. · The federal government is authorized to seize up to $9 million for its forfeiture judgment but isn't mandated to do so, and Murdaugh can't force them. Full Story:  In the latest turn of events surrounding convicted killer Alex Murdaugh, federal prosecutors made it clear on Wednesday that they would not be intervening to take control of Murdaugh’s assets. This response came after Murdaugh's attorneys made an urgent plea to the government, asking it to oversee his assets currently under the charge of co-receivers appointed by a South Carolina state judge.    According to the documents filed in district court, while the government has the authority, through a preliminary order of forfeiture, to seize the assets, they have no current intention to do so. This decision arises due to a legal nuance: the state of South Carolina has already staked its claim over the assets, asserting jurisdiction and therefore hindering federal interference.    The backdrop to this complex financial entanglement dates back to November 4, 2021. In an effort to thwart any potential mismanagement, concealment, or sale, Murdaugh’s assets were placed in a protective receivership. Assigned to this critical responsibility were John T. Lay and Peter M. McCoy as co-receivers.    Murdaugh's defense team has since voiced significant concerns about this arrangement. They argue that an alarming $2.1 million of his assets have been taken over by the co-receivers. Of this amount, they claim $400,000 has already been disbursed to Lay and McCoy, with an additional $253,294 now in the pipeline for release. In court documents, the defense passionately states that such financial maneuvers put "the Murdaugh Funds at risk of substantial dissipation and waste."    Federal prosecutors, in their detailed response, provided a contrasting viewpoint. They emphasized that the charges levied by the co-receivers come at a "significant discount" when juxtaposed against standard fees in such cases. Furthermore, these fees, they stressed, have been greenlighted by the state court circuit judge, with no objections raised by Murdaugh or other potential stakeholders.    Addressing the broader financial framework, prosecutors shared that the government holds the authority to seize an impressive $9 million to meet its forfeiture judgment. However, they clarified that there's no obligation to exercise this right. The court documents succinctly state, "Murdaugh cannot force the Government to seize any assets, particularly assets over which he has either relinquished or been divested of control."    A crucial distinction was made regarding the role of federal and state authorities in managing these assets. The defense's assertion that the government would effectively mirror the actions of the co-receivers was debunked by prosecutors. They elaborated that while the federal system considers some victims as financially "whole", a takeover of the assets from the state could potentially deprive some state victims – those not encompassed within federal crimes – of the opportunity to recover their dues.    This multifaceted financial dispute adds another layer to the ongoing saga of Alex Murdaugh, shining a light on the intricate intersection of state and federal jurisdictions, and raising poignant questions about the guardianship of assets and the rights of victims. As developments unfold, the nation watches closely, waiting to see how justice will be meted out in this high-stakes financial and legal drama. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Petition for Dismissal: Kouri Richins' legal team has filed a petition seeking the dismissal of her case, citing possible "prosecutorial misconduct" and questioning her ability to receive a fair trial in Summit County.    Change of Venue & Legal Team: The attorneys have requested that the case be transferred from Summit County to Salt Lake County. Additionally, they advocate for the removal of the Summit County Attorney’s Office from the proceedings. The "Walk the Dog Letter": A contentious document, discovered in Richins’ cell in September, is at the heart of the current legal debate. State lawyers view this as evidence of witness tampering. Conversely, Richins and her attorneys claim it is an outline for a fictional novel she planned to write.    Potential "No Contact Order": Due to the implications of the letter, the court is weighing the option of imposing an order that would prevent Richins from communicating with her family. This decision is set for November. Violation of the Gag Order: The legal team argues that making the "Walk the Dog Letter" public breaches a gag order set on May 31 by the court. Questions of Legal Integrity: Richins' attorneys assert that the letter doesn’t serve as evidence of a crime and challenge the state’s method of obtaining the letter, suggesting it could be seen as an unlawful search of her papers.    State's Claims Challenged: The petition emphasizes the alleged breach of Richins’ due process rights by the State. It states that the State has not only falsely accused her of witness tampering but has also supported this claim with what the defense deems "inadmissible evidence" on public records.   In a developing story out of Summit County, the legal team of Kouri Richins, who stands accused of a chilling case of poisoning her husband using fentanyl, has now made a bold move, seeking the dismissal of her case. Their argument is rooted in the belief that their client, Richins, can no longer obtain a fair trial due to what they cite as "prosecutorial misconduct."   In a detailed petition, the attorneys highlighted several significant requests. Chief among them are the removal of the Summit County Attorney’s Office from the proceedings and a change of venue, transferring the case to Salt Lake County.   Perhaps the most controversial aspect revolves around the document discovered in Richins' cell in September, colloquially dubbed the "Walk the Dog Letter." The discovery of this document set the courtroom abuzz with debate. State lawyers argue that the letter is clear evidence pointing to witness tampering. In stark contrast, Richins, backed by her legal team, contends that this letter was merely an outline for a work of fiction she intended to pen.   The document allegedly contains explicit instructions directed towards Richins' family members, guiding them on how they should testify in court. This very discovery is the underlying reason the court is now contemplating imposing a “no contact order” to curtail Richins' interactions with her family. The court is set to make its decision on this matter in November.   Diving into the petition, Richins' attorneys assert that the public unveiling of the “Walk the Dog Letter” stands in direct violation of a gag order, which had been imposed by the court on May 31. In their view, not only is the letter itself not indicative of any criminal activity, but its acquisition by the state might also be regarded as an illegal intrusion into her documents.   The petition fervently states: “Here, the State has violated Ms. Richins’ due process rights by falsely and publicly declaring that she is guilty of ‘witness tampering.’” Further escalating the claims, the document goes on to criticize the state's actions, “Making matters worse, the State attempted to support its false narrative by filing inadmissible evidence, including a police report, on the Court’s public docket.”   The implications of these developments cannot be overstated. A case that started with the tragic and suspicious death of a man due to fentanyl poisoning has now burgeoned into a heated legal battle, with accusations of witness tampering, potential violations of gag orders, and questions about the due process rights of the accused.   It remains to be seen how the court will respond to these requests and whether the Summit County Attorney's Office will remain on the case. The coming weeks promise intense legal proceedings, with both sides likely to dig in and present fervent arguments to defend their positions. The spotlight on the case ensures that its developments will be keenly followed, not just by the local community but by legal experts and the public at large.   In a case riddled with intrigue, doubt, and layers of complexities, one thing remains clear: the pursuit of truth and justice is paramount. As legal experts comb through every facet of evidence and argument, the broader public is left to reflect on the complexities of the legal system and the pivotal role it plays in shaping narratives and defining the truth.

In a harrowing case that has shaken the city to its core, a New York man, Stephen Giraldo, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for the heinous attempted murder of his estranged wife, Sophia Giraldo. This conviction comes a month after he entered a guilty plea in September. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz’s office provided the details in a press statement released this past Friday.    The Heart-Wrenching Incident    The chilling incident occurred during the early morning hours of December 27, 2022. Security camera footage captured Stephen Giraldo outside the residence of Sophia. The events that unfolded were nothing short of nightmarish.    As the 41-year-old Sophia made her way in front of the vehicle, Stephen allegedly turned to their three children inside the car—aged 11, 9, and 6 at the time—and chillingly advised them to "keep your seat belt on," as previously reported by PEOPLE. He then deliberately ran over his wife.    The horror did not end there. As the statement from the DA's office narrated, "After colliding with the victim, the car turned onto its side. The defendant allegedly crawled out the passenger side window of the vehicle and continued his attack, stabbing his wife with a knife."    Sophia, though having miraculously survived the brutal onslaught, was left with catastrophic injuries. She has remained unconscious for the ten months since the attack, suffering from severe neurological damage, a punctured liver, and multiple broken bones. Their children, the traumatized witnesses to this brutality, were fortunately physically unharmed.    The Prosecution's Stand    Reflecting on the grievousness of the case, DA Katz asserted, “This is one of the most brutal cases we have prosecuted.” She further commented on the unimaginable nature of the crime, stating, “To tell your children to ‘buckle up,’ purposefully hit their mother, and then climb over your son to continue your attack with a knife is unconscionable.” With the sentencing of Stephen Giraldo, Katz expressed hope that it brings “some measure of justice.”    Community Support and A Ray of Hope    In the wake of such a horrifying event, the community has rallied together in support of Sophia and her family. A GoFundMe campaign initiated shortly after the attack, by Sophia's father Chuck Brooks, has amassed over $50,000 in donations. In a heartfelt note on the fundraiser page, Chuck termed the incident and the ensuing journey as a "whirlwind of a tragedy." He went on to thank the generous donors and supporters who have been pillars of strength during such tumultuous times.    The funds raised have been instrumental in aiding Sophia's family, who have traveled from Maryland to New York. The money has substantially assisted in offsetting the significant costs associated with their frequent and taxing visits, as elucidated in detail on the GoFundMe page.    Coincidentally, the sentencing took place a day before what should have been a day of celebration—Sophia's birthday on Saturday, as shared in a poignant social media post by her mother, Deborah Brooks.    Conclusion    Stephen Giraldo's sentencing is a sobering reminder of the dark corners of human behavior. While the judicial verdict has been rendered, the healing journey for Sophia and her children remains long and fraught with challenges. It's a hope that, with the continued support of the community and the strength of the human spirit, the family finds the resilience to rebuild their lives.

After 20 years, the quest for justice may finally be nearing its end for the family of Herman Brown. Robert Stewart, a 64-year-old man, has been indicted for a murder that has remained unsolved for two decades.    The Scene of the Crime    On a chilly day on February 15, 2003, a distressing call came into the Cincinnati Police Department. A concerned 911 caller reported a "strong odor coming from the apartment" located at 2572 Sarvis Court. Responding to the call, officers embarked on what was expected to be a routine welfare check. However, the scene they encountered was anything but ordinary.    Inside the apartment, they found the lifeless body of Herman Brown "lying naked on the floor." The grim setting was accentuated by the presence of stab wounds on Brown's body and an extension cord that was tightly wound around his neck. Further investigations revealed the presence of blood in the bathroom sink, indicating a struggle or an attempt to clean up after the crime.    Vital Evidence Left Behind    At the time of discovery, the Prosecutor’s Office revealed that the investigators had collected a number of key evidence from the crime scene. Among these were six cigarette butts, a DNA swab from Brown's genitals, and the aforementioned blood sample from the bathroom sink.    An analysis of the blood sample showed the presence of two distinct DNA profiles. One was, understandably, from the victim. But the second one, which also matched the DNA found on Brown's genitals and the cigarette butts, belonged to an unidentified individual.    Despite the presence of such clear evidence, the investigators were faced with a daunting challenge. They couldn't match the unidentified DNA profile to any known individual in their database. As the days turned into months and months into years, the leads dried up. The case, like so many before it, went cold.    A Renewed Hope    But as Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers confidently remarked, "These dedicated detectives never give up on their cases. They never give up on their victims. They will continue to investigate until the case is solved — no matter how long it takes." Her words rang true when, two decades later, a glimmer of hope emerged.    Making use of advances in forensic science, investigators decided to revisit the case. They re-extracted the unidentified DNA profile, this time from the cigarette butts. Submitting this to a forensic genetic genealogy search, a process which has revolutionized cold case investigations in recent years, they identified a potential suspect: Robert Stewart.    Further detailed analysis sealed the deal, verifying beyond a doubt that Stewart was the source of the DNA found scattered at the crime scene.    The Arrest    Upon identifying Stewart as a prime suspect, the police acted swiftly. Stewart was apprehended in Lima, Ohio, on September 15. After the arrest, he was promptly extradited back to Hamilton County, where he now awaits his fate in the Hamilton County Justice Center. A bond has been set at a staggering $500,000.    As for the charges, the Oct. 2 news release from Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers elucidated that Stewart has been indicted on two counts of murder and an additional count of felonious assault in connection with Herman Brown’s death. If found guilty, he may potentially face a life sentence.    In Conclusion    The tragic death of Herman Brown and the subsequent twenty-year-long pursuit of justice is a testament to the perseverance of our law enforcement agencies. While it's still early days in the legal proceedings against Robert Stewart, one thing is clear: detectives and forensic experts, armed with determination and the latest in scientific advancements, have brought hope to a case that once seemed lost in the annals of time.    The developments in this case serve as a beacon of hope for countless other unsolved cases, reminding us that justice, no matter how delayed, can still be attained.

James Toliver Craig, the Colorado dentist at the center of a sensational poisoning case, entered a not-guilty plea on Monday, facing charges of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. Authorities have been investigating the case since March, when Angela Craig, James' wife, died under mysterious circumstances.    According to the Aurora Police Department, Angela Craig, 43, passed away on March 15 after multiple hospitalizations due to severe headaches and dizziness. The narrative that unfolded in the subsequent months has brought a sense of disbelief to many familiar with the case. James Craig is accused of poisoning his wife's protein shakes with arsenic, which he allegedly ordered online.    CNN, along with other major news outlets, has been closely monitoring the developments in the case. The trial is set for April 19, 2024, and preparations are already underway with plans for a special panel for jury selection. Testimony is expected to commence the subsequent week. Efforts to reach James Craig's attorney, Andrew Ho, for comments were to no avail as of the time of this report.    But what has driven attention to this case is not just the tragic demise of Angela Craig but the details unveiled in the investigations. An arrest warrant application released in March paints a chilling picture: it alleges that James Craig exhibited planning and intent to end his wife's life. The reasons cited include searching for methods to carry out the crime discreetly, giving her poisons which aligned with her symptoms during her hospital stays, and reportedly looking forward to starting a new life with another woman.    In a disturbing revelation from the affidavit, in the weeks leading to Angela's death, James Craig is believed to have used a computer at his dental practice to research various "undetectable poisons." His internet search history includes inquiries such as "how many grams of pure arsenic will kill a human" and chilling YouTube searches like "how to make poison" and "Top 5 Undetectable Poisons That Show No Signs of Foul Play." Further complicating the case, James Craig supposedly created a new email account to order arsenic online.    As we dig deeper, it appears the couple's marital relationship was on rocky grounds. Angela's sister has been instrumental in providing crucial insights into the dynamics of the couple's relationship. She informed investigators about the volatile nature of their marriage. More alarmingly, she recalled Angela once mentioned that James had drugged her in the past, as he intended to commit suicide and did not want her to prevent his actions.    Following Angela's untimely death, her sister also brought another suspicious behavior to light. She stated that James Craig had expressed his wish against an autopsy being conducted on Angela. The affidavit quotes James as saying, "if they couldn't figure out what was wrong with her when she was alive he wouldn’t let them poke her more when she was dead."    The coming months will undoubtedly bring more details to the fore as the trial commences. It remains to be seen what defense James Craig's legal team will present, and whether new evidence will emerge. The case is an unsettling reminder that sometimes, the darkest secrets are hidden behind the most unsuspecting facades. As the justice system takes its course, our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Angela Craig, who are grappling with the tragic loss and its unfolding implications.

Rapper 50 Cent, a figure known for courting controversy, has delivered perhaps his most explosive revelation yet. In a recent social media post, the influential G-Unit founder pointed an accusatory finger at Sean "Diddy" Combs, insinuating the mogul's role in the assassination of hip-hop legend Tupac "2Pac" Shakur.    Taking to Instagram on October 9, 50 Cent's post was not one to be ignored. He shared an evocative photo of Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight from the night of the fatal drive-by shooting in 1996, captioned with words hinting at Diddy's alleged involvement. "Damn so pac got lined by brother love,” he wrote, making a reference to Diddy's R&B alias. Further adding fuel to the fire, 50 Cent also advised Combs to “lawyer up” stating, "LOL Time to Lawyer up, shit might get sticky.”    The 2Pac mystery, dating back to September 7, 1996, has been a haunting chapter in hip-hop's storied history. On that fateful night, Shakur was brutally attacked with multiple bullets, leading to his tragic death less than a week later. Suge Knight, who was with Shakur at the time, miraculously survived with a non-fatal wound to the head.    Amidst the swirling rumors and theories about 2Pac's death, the involvement of Diddy, the head of Bad Boy Records, has long been a topic of debate, especially given the well-documented tension between Death Row and Bad Boy Records. Although Diddy has been a repeated subject of these speculations, it's important to note that he has never been arrested or formally charged in relation to the crime. Furthermore, Diddy has consistently and forcefully denied any association with Shakur's murder.    Fueling this ongoing firestorm are statements made by Duane “Keefe D” Davis during a 2008 police confession. Davis, who was charged with Shakur's long-standing unsolved murder last month, has made some significant admissions. The 60-year-old former South Side Compton Crip purported that he and Diddy once deliberated over a $1 million bounty to eliminate both Shakur and Knight. This alleged discussion supposedly occurred in Greenblatt’s Deli, Los Angeles, where Diddy supposedly expressed his desire to “get rid of them dudes.”    However, in an unexpected twist, Keefe D later claimed that the proposed $500,000 payment, supposedly from Diddy for carrying out the act, was never delivered to the South Side Compton Crips. Authorities have long believed Shakur's killing was a result of retaliation against Keefe D's nephew, Orlando Anderson, who had a prior altercation with Shakur. Anderson, implicated by Keefe D as the man behind the trigger, lost his life in an unrelated gang altercation in 1998.    Lending more credibility to the cloud of speculations around Diddy's rumored involvement, Ma$e, an ex-Bad Boy artist, made cryptic remarks on his sports talk show, "It Is What It Is." While discussing Keefe D's recent arrest, Ma$e made sly references, hinting at Diddy's potential involvement.    However, one voice of reason amidst the maelstrom of accusations and speculations is that of Greg Kading, a retired LAPD detective. Having spent significant time investigating Shakur's death, Kading opined that the probability of Diddy facing any charges is marginal. Speaking with Rolling Stone, Kading elucidated the need for irrefutable witnesses who can pinpoint Diddy's alleged solicitation or payment, a challenge that seems far-fetched. The retired detective also emphasized his belief that Diddy isn't a killer, stating, "Puffy’s not built like Suge Knight, and I don’t think Puffy was truly intentionally trying to get either 2Pac or Suge killed.”    With 50 Cent's bold accusations, the tragic saga of Tupac Shakur's untimely death has once again been thrust into the limelight. Only time will tell if these renewed conversations and speculations will finally lead to the unmasking of the truth behind one of hip-hop's most enduring mysteries.

The serene town of Moscow, Idaho, woke up to a chilling tragedy on 13 November 2022. Four young lives, all students of the University of Idaho, were snuffed out at an off-campus residence. The grisly nature of the incident, coupled with the media frenzy surrounding it, cast a pall of fear over Moscow, prompting many to depart for the Thanksgiving holidays earlier than planned. Following extensive investigations, the spotlight turned to Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old criminology doctoral student at Washington State University. The site of his arrest added another twist to the tale: his parents' abode in Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The Kohberger Lineage Bryan's roots trace back to Effort, Pennsylvania. Born to Michael Kohberger Jr. and Maryann Kohberger, he grew up in a home steeped in the values of community service. The Kohbergers were employees of the Pleasant Valley School District — Michael as a maintenance worker and Maryann as a paraprofessional, extending support to students with special educational needs. Interestingly, the school district also served as the backdrop to Bryan's early job as a security guard. Though younger than his two sisters, Bryan's turbulent past set him apart. At 19, embroiled in drug addiction, he was arrested for stealing his sister's iPhone. This blot on his record was, however, erased by the "Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition" program, shielding him from any lasting public censure. “You never expect someone from such a hardworking, dedicated family to go astray,” remarked a local resident. Repercussions of the Idaho Murders The aftermath of the Idaho murders saw the Kohbergers grappling with a torrent of emotions. Michael Kohberger Jr.'s journey to Spokane, Washington, to stand by his son during the tumultuous drive back to Pennsylvania was particularly poignant. Their ride, in the white Hyundai Elantra — an unsettling reminder of the crime scene — was marred by two run-ins with the law for speeding and tailgating. The arrest, which possibly occurred in the parents' absence, came as a body blow to the family. Struggling to reconcile with the grim reality, the Kohbergers stood resolute in their belief: Bryan was innocent. This sentiment echoed in the family's letter, which voiced their grief over the student deaths and pledged unwavering support for Bryan. Yet, the conspicuous absence of one sister's endorsement on this statement raised several eyebrows. The Fallout The tremors of Bryan’s arrest sent shockwaves through his immediate family. Distanced from their brother, his sisters have avoided visits to the Latah County Jail. The episode also dealt a blow to their careers, with both reportedly being let go from their jobs. Michael and Maryann Kohberger, already strained under past financial burdens evident from their two Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings, now find themselves ensnared in further legal complications. Their testimonies have been sought in the mysterious case of a Pennsylvania woman’s disappearance and subsequent death. Shadows of the Past Peeling back the layers, one discerns a complex relationship between Bryan and his parents, particularly his mother. A former classmate's words stand testament to Maryann's nurturing nature, painting her as "the most warm-hearted, kind individual". Yet, this warmth seemingly failed to envelop her son, who, plagued by aggression and social challenges, remained somewhat distant. The very mother, a staunch Democrat with strong convictions against abortion and the death penalty, faced a heart-wrenching paradox with her son's alleged actions. The family's earlier financial struggles, marked by their bankruptcy filings, might also shed light on potential pressures Bryan faced, although direct correlations remain speculative. "It's always the quiet, unsuspecting towns where such intricate stories unfold," mused a Moscow local, summarizing the sentiments of many. In Conclusion The tale of Bryan Kohberger serves as a grim reminder that the undercurrents of human psychology are often intricate and unfathomable. As this story continues to unfold, one thing remains clear: it's essential to approach such cases with empathy, acknowledging the myriad influences and pressures that might push individuals down unforeseen paths.

In a recent turn of events surrounding the high-profile case of Shanna Gardner-Fernandez, the parents of Gardner-Fernandez are under scrutiny for allegedly providing misleading information to the court to gain custody of their grandchildren. The case has garnered significant attention, considering the implications for two innocent children at its center.    Currently, Abby and Liam, the 11-year-old twins of Jared Bridegan and Gardner-Fernandez, are under the care of their maternal grandparents. Before Jared's untimely death, the exes had maintained a joint custody arrangement, which allowed the twins to live half of the year with their half-siblings and Jared's widow, Kirsten Bridegan. However, since Jared's passing, Kirsten has passionately pleaded for visitation, stating that the children have been "kept away and isolated from us."    However, the situation took a more convoluted turn when the Gardner’s' custody petition came under the spotlight. They submitted a petition to Benton County Superior Court in Washington state, seeking full custody of the twins. The document asked specific questions about the residency of the children. One question was clear: "During the past 5 years have any of the children lived…outside Washington state?" The Gardners reportedly marked "No." This, however, stands in direct contrast to the fact that Gardner-Fernandez and the children moved from Florida to Washington only in December 2022, presumably to evade the public gaze due to the highly publicized murder case.    The discrepancy doesn't end there. The Gardners, who primarily reside in Utah, were the benefactors of the million-dollar residence that became the sanctuary for Gardner-Fernandez before her arrest. Legal experts believe that the Gardners may have deliberately provided false residency information to prevent the case from being litigated in Florida, where Jared's parents live, a move that could potentially backfire.    Prominent matrimonial lawyer Marilyn Chinitz, known for representing Hollywood stars like Tom Cruise and Michael Douglas, weighed in on the controversy, telling Fox News Digital, "Coming to the court and patently lying by filling out a form with false information warrants a complete dismissal of their application." Chinitz added, "The court will look at that petition with a really jaundiced eye."    Moreover, the petition raised more eyebrows when the Gardners answered "No" to a query asking if they knew of anyone, other than themselves and the twins' parents, who had, or claimed to have, a legal right to spend time with the twins. This is striking, given that Kirsten Bridegan, Jared's widow, has been very vocal about her desire to visit the children. She has been on record, expressing her deep anguish over being denied access to Abby and Liam, lamenting to reporters, "We are their family. We love them. Despite my constant requests to see or speak to them, I have been denied and continuously ignored." Notably, Jared's parents, Gaylord and Joanna Bridegan have also expressed their desire to be with their grandchildren.    Commenting on the glaring inconsistencies in the petition, Chinitz noted, "This is a highly publicized case where the widow and paternal grandparents are out there saying they want to see the kids. I can’t even justify why they would make that false statement."    Further deepening the suspicion, the Gardners left out mentioning the twins' substantial trust accounts when asked to list the children's assets in the petition. Shelli Gardner, owner of the successful papercraft company, Stampin' Up!, has been the financial pillar for Gardner-Fernandez for the majority of her adult life. The Gardners recently severed more ties with Florida, selling their oceanfront Jacksonville Beach property for a whopping $3,650,000.    As this legal and familial drama continues to unfold, the primary concern remains the well-being of two innocent children caught in the crossfire. Legal experts, the media, and the public are all closely watching, waiting to see how the court will handle the questionable information provided by the Gardners and what that means for the future of Abby and Liam.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A cloud of mystery and suspicion surrounds the case of Oakley Carlson, a 6-year-old girl from Oakville, Washington, who has not been seen since early 2021. As more details about her family's life come to light, serious concerns about the child's safety have intensified.   Oakley Carlson's "last credible sighting" occurred on February 10, 2021. However, her parents, Andrew Carlson and Jordan Bowers, reported to the Grays County Sheriff’s Office that their last encounter with Oakley was much later, on November 30, 2021. By December of that year, she was reported missing. Officials handling the case have labeled her disappearance and the associated details as "suspicious."   Diving deeper, the Grays County Sheriff’s Office has termed the nature of Oakley’s disappearance as "criminal." In the ongoing investigation, both Bowers and Carlson have emerged as the primary persons of interest. Their history presents several troubling allegations.   Among the chief concerns is an alarming claim that Bowers and Carlson allegedly deprived Oakley's sibling of essential medicine for an extended period, around 15 months. According to the Sheriff’s Office, this medicine was imperative for the child's physical well-being, and the lack thereof put her at significant risk, even possibly leading to a fatal outcome.   The recent publication of an opinion by the Washington State Court of Appeals on August 1 has further spotlighted the couple's questionable history with their children. This release followed after the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office sought the court's permission to access juvenile records connected to Bowers and Carlson's offspring.   The court document revealed that since April 2013, the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) has undertaken 11 in-depth investigations into the family. This included eight distinct cases that involved allegations ranging from domestic violence to drug use, abuse, and significant medical neglect.   One particular concern involved Oakley’s sibling, referred to as DC in court documents, who suffers from a rare genetic syndrome resulting in a developmental disability. This condition necessitates daily injections for the child. Past accusations pointed towards Bowers' untreated mental health issues and a neglect to seek services for the child back in June 2017. Despite initial probes by the DCYF, there was no extended investigation as the intake was "screened out."   Matters became more alarming a month later when another report surfaced, alleging the lack of medicine for DC, coupled with allegations of domestic violence and methamphetamine use within the home. Following these revelations, Oakley and DC were separated and put under different care, while another sibling was placed under the custody of his biological father.   In a concerning development from January 2021, officials received inputs about visible scratches and bruises on Oakley's face. When questioned, Bowers and Carlson demonstrated a blatant lack of cooperation. Furthermore, prior to Oakley's disappearance, Bowers reportedly informed Oakley’s school about a fire at their residence, which she alleged Oakley started. Upon school authorities visiting Oakley’s residence, the child was conspicuously absent.   The parents' narrative has been inconsistent. They have suggested that they simply "lost track" of Oakley, with Carlson eventually reporting her missing in December. Contradicting their account, Oakley’s grandfather claimed he hadn't seen the child since Christmas 2020. Following these murky claims, both Carlson and Bowers were apprehended for obstruction.   Disturbing insights from DC highlighted the severity of the situation. DC disclosed to authorities that Oakley had ignited the house fire using her mother’s torch and was subsequently subjected to physical abuse as punishment. DC's testimony further indicated potential locations for Oakley, suggesting she might have been "under her mother’s bed or in the woods." Furthermore, she voiced fears for Oakley and another sibling, JC, strongly implying they were "not safe in their mother’s care."   Another sibling, referred to as BB-P in legal documents, backed up these claims, suggesting a history of abuse by Bowers towards Oakley and JC. A particularly chilling revelation indicated that Oakley was occasionally confined in a locked 'cell' beneath the staircase.   In an unrelated development, KCPQ-TV confirmed that Bowers was sentenced on August 7 in a separate identity theft case, which has no links to her daughter’s puzzling disappearance.   With layers of complexity, this case is a chilling reminder of the often-unseen troubles lurking beneath the surface in many households. As investigations continue, the primary hope remains the safe discovery and return of Oakley Carlson. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The famed YouTube family known as "8 Passengers", led by Ruby and Kevin Franke, are facing allegations of child abuse, leading to a dramatic unfolding of events that have left their 2.5 million subscribers and the world in shock.    Ruby and Kevin Franke built their online reputation by sharing their lives with their six children in Utah, giving a candid glimpse into their strict parenting style. However, the facade began to crack in May 2020, when their son Chad revealed in a video that as a consequence of a prank on his younger brother, Russell, he had been relegated to sleep on a beanbag for seven months. This revelation led to a significant backlash against the couple.    Many of their YouTube subscribers were horrified. To express their concerns over what they perceived as mistreatment of the Franke children, a petition was initiated. Garnering 17,000 signatures, the petition pushed for a Child Protective Services (CPS) investigation into the allegations of maltreatment. The Franke family was scrutinized in June 2020, when Ruby and her daughter Eve were visited by social workers. Despite the public outcry, the case was closed without the allegations being substantiated.    Nevertheless, the situation intensified, as irate followers sent angry text messages, spam emails, and even made late-night threats. The incident that really pushed things to a boiling point was when an unidentified individual with a concealed face showed up at their doorstep with a sinister message. Concerned for their family's safety, Kevin sought the help of David Corrington, a private investigator and a former special agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.    In a recent PEOPLE magazine issue, Corrington stated, "I think what really threw it over the edge was this person showing up in the middle of the night ringing the doorbell. That starts getting a little more personal and scary with the children being in the house." Despite Corrington's belief that several individuals were targeting the family, frustrations grew as they felt local law enforcement was not doing enough.    Allegations and concerns surrounding the Franke children's well-being did not dissipate. Over the subsequent months, calls to both the police and CPS poured in, alleging potential mistreatment of the children. The family's situation took a severe turn when their youngest son, Russell, was found with physical signs of maltreatment. Escaping from family therapist Jodi Hildebrandt's home in Ivins, Utah, where he was staying with his mother and sister, Eve, Russell reached out for help.    With grave injuries, malnourishment, and tales of abuse, Russell's revelations led to an immediate response from the Santa Clara-Ivins Police Department. As a result, both Ruby and Jodi were arrested on charges of aggravated felony child abuse. Held at the Washington County Purgatory Correctional Facility, both await their plea. Meanwhile, Kevin Franke, who had left the family home a year earlier, remains uncharged.    Corrington voiced his concerns over the systemic failings, stating, "It's unfortunate that it takes some of these extreme situations for the government to intervene. You certainly have to ask the question, why did this fall through the cracks in our system?"    As the case unfolds, many are left questioning how such a well-known family, with millions of viewers, could be at the center of such an alarming scandal. For many, Shari, the couple's estranged eldest daughter, summed up the collective feeling with a simple Instagram Story showing officers outside their family home with the caption: "Finally."    This scandal serves as a crucial reminder of the potential discrepancies between the polished facade of online personalities and the realities of their offline lives. In the digital age, where influencers and vloggers dominate social spaces, the need for discernment and vigilance becomes even more paramount.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a riveting turn of events, New York law enforcement officials have finally identified and apprehended the man behind the harrowing kidnapping of 9-year-old Charlotte Sena from Moreau Lake State Park. The young girl, who had been missing since Saturday, Sept. 30, was found "safe and in good health" on the evening of Oct. 2. The key to cracking the case was a single fingerprint on a ransom note.    Charlotte was enjoying a day at the campsite, joyfully riding her bike when she disappeared. New York State Police, along with multiple other agencies, swiftly launched an extensive search. Given the grave nature of the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, the AWARE Foundation took to Twitter stating that Charlotte was "taken under circumstances that lead police to believe that they are in imminent danger of serious harm and/or death." This prompted State Police to issue an urgent Amber Alert in a desperate bid to locate the young girl.    As the search continued, a significant lead emerged on Monday, Oct. 2. At 4:20 a.m., a car approached the Sena family home, which was under the watchful eyes of the New York State Police, given the gravity of the situation. With Charlotte’s parents already at the campsite, heavily invested in the search for their beloved daughter, the mysterious car drove up to the family mailbox. A man was seen depositing something before making a hasty exit. Upon inspection, State Police found what turned out to be a ransom note.    What could have been a dead end took a pivotal turn when investigators unearthed a crucial piece of evidence: a fingerprint on the ransom note. While initial searches didn’t provide a match, persistence led them to input the fingerprint into a comprehensive New York State database. Success came when the fingerprint was identified as that of 46-year-old Craig Ross. Ross had a previous run-in with the law due to a DWI in Saratoga back in 1999.    With a viable lead in hand, officials soon located Ross's residence. There, they encountered his mother. Following information gleaned on-site, attention was turned to a camper located behind the main house, where Ross was believed to be staying. Using a tactical approach known as a dynamic entry, officials stormed the mobile home. In a heart-stopping discovery, they found young Charlotte hidden in a cabinet. Simultaneously, Ross was taken into custody without incident.    Ross was later presented at Milton Town Court. As of now, he faces serious charges, being held at Saratoga County Correctional Facility without bail. The primary charge is first-degree kidnapping. However, New York State Police have indicated that further charges are likely to follow.    The culmination of this nerve-wracking episode was aptly summarized by Gov. Kathy Hochul, who labeled Charlotte’s rescue as "a very good day." Her statement resonates with the collective relief of the community and serves as a testament to the relentless efforts of the law enforcement agencies involved.    The case of Charlotte Sena stands as a stark reminder of the ever-present dangers lurking, even in seemingly safe environments. It also underscores the paramount importance of vigilance, community awareness, and the unmatched dedication of law enforcement agencies in ensuring the safety and well-being of our communities.    In the wake of this incident, families everywhere are reminded to always stay vigilant, maintain open lines of communication with their children about safety, and to always trust their instincts. The collaboration between multiple agencies and the community in this case reaffirms the fact that when we work together, we can overcome even the gravest of threats and ensure the safety of our loved ones.

In the vibrant heart of Florida, the Kowalski family led a seemingly normal life. With strong Polish roots and deep familial bonds, the Kowalskis were pillars of their community. Yet, in 2016, they found themselves ensnared in a whirlwind of medical and legal battles that would challenge the very core of their unity and resilience.    The Onset of a Mysterious Malady    When Maya Kowalski, a spirited 9-year-old with a penchant for painting and playing the violin, began experiencing debilitating symptoms ranging from agonizing headaches to painful lesions on her limbs, alarm bells rang. No parent is prepared to see their child suffer, and Jack and Beata Kowalski were no exception. Desperate for answers, they navigated the complex web of the healthcare system, consulting numerous physicians and specialists.    Self-advocacy and a Daunting Diagnosis    It was Beata, a registered nurse with an astute sense of observation, who stumbled upon the possibility of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) while researching Maya's symptoms. This rare disorder, characterized by chronic pain and often triggered by an injury, was later confirmed by Dr. Anthony Kirkpatrick, a renowned specialist in the field.    Seeking relief for Maya, the family even embarked on a perilous journey to Mexico to pursue an experimental treatment, the "ketamine coma," hoping it would offer their daughter some respite. Their endeavors seemed successful; Maya returned with a renewed zest for life. But this was just the calm before the storm.    A Fateful Hospital Admission    Less than a year after their return, a severe bout of stomach pain led Maya to be admitted to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. Armed with her medical history, her parents insisted on high doses of ketamine to manage Maya's pain, an approach supported by Dr. Kirkpatrick.    However, this admission set off a cascade of events that none could have foreseen. The hospital staff, rather than viewing the Kowalskis as concerned parents, eyed them with suspicion. The narrative shifted dramatically: Beata was accused of Munchausen by proxy, a condition where caregivers feign or induce illness in those they care for, seeking attention or sympathy.    The Legal Nightmare    With accusations flying, Maya was placed in state custody, barred from seeing her family. The trauma was immeasurable. Beata, painted as a villain by the hospital, faced public scrutiny, and emotional and psychological torment. Stripped of her maternal rights and bearing the weight of false accusations, she faced a battle on all fronts: the fight to prove her innocence, the yearning to reunite with her child, and the trauma of public defamation.    Tragically, the weight became too much for Beata, leading her to take her own life, believing that her sacrifice might expedite Maya's return to her family.    The Road to Vindication    The aftermath of this tragedy saw the Kowalski family's fight gaining momentum. With the formidable Gregory Anderson of AndersonGlenn LLP by their side, they embarked on a mission to clear their name and bring the hospital to account.    The ensuing legal battle revealed unsettling patterns, with Dr. Sally Smith, a senior child services physician, often at the center of numerous controversial child removal cases. The documentary, shedding light on the Kowalskis' ordeal, further bolstered their cause, unveiling other similar cases, indicating systemic flaws.    Conclusion   The Kowalski saga serves as a cautionary tale of the intricate interplay between the medical and legal systems. It underscores the importance of understanding, compassion, and due diligence in professions that wield the power to shape or shatter lives. As the Kowalskis continue their journey toward healing, their story stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the enduring bonds of family.

Kevin Franke faced an agonizing revelation this past August. He found his wife, Ruby Franke, and their family therapist, Jodi Hildebrandt, detained, with his two youngest children in a healthcare facility for critical malnourishment treatments.    In the year leading up to this grim discovery, Kevin had only received infrequent communication from his now-estranged wife. This drastic shift in family dynamics traces back to the involvement of marriage counselor, Jodi Hildebrandt, in their lives. In a candid conversation with PEOPLE, Kevin's attorney, Randy Kester, expressed, “Kevin was taken aback. The allegations against Ruby and Jodi left him stunned. It dawned upon him the magnitude of deception he had been subjected to."    The couple, who once reveled in the limelight due to their "8 Passengers vlog" on YouTube, had amassed a dedicated following of approximately 2.5 million subscribers. Their content chiefly revolved around the daily adventures and life lessons of their six children. However, even this digital haven suffered a setback when the couple decided to part ways, a year before Ruby's dramatic arrest.    Eyewitness accounts and police allegations shed light on the distressing environment the Franke children were exposed to, particularly in Kevin’s absence. With Ruby and the two youngest residing at Jodi's residence, there are serious accusations concerning the treatment of 12-year-old Russell Franke. Claims have emerged about him being physically restrained with ropes, and even more distressingly, of cayenne pepper and honey being deliberately applied to his injuries by Ruby and Jodi.    Diving deeper into Jodi Hildebrandt’s background reveals a checkered professional history. She commenced her association with the Frankes in 2021. Prominently specializing in sex addiction, Jodi faced reprimands from state authorities back in 2012, owing to an improper relationship with a client. That very year, following her personal battles of a divorce and strained ties with her children, Jodi launched 'ConneXions'. Her venture, as advertised on her website, pledges to "empower individuals to thrive in their relationships," with an emphasis on liberating individuals from "distortions" to embrace "Truth, connection, and freedom."    This counselor-client relationship between the Frankes and Jodi intensified, culminating in a pivotal trip involving Ruby, Kevin, and another therapist. Post this journey, Ruby's perspective on her marriage had radically shifted. Recollecting this phase, Kester quoted Ruby's exact words to Kevin: "Your attitude is infesting the family." She firmly believed that their only recourse was separation. Kevin, despite these developments, continued attending several sessions a week with Jodi. In a turn of events, when their son Chad decided to reside with Kevin, Jodi intervened, advising separation. According to Kester, Jodi’s influence permeated so deeply that Kevin became increasingly isolated, with Ruby being granted limited access to contact him.    However, red flags had been raised about the family earlier. In June 2020, social workers began probing into the Franke family dynamics, spurred by unsettling content on their YouTube channel. This included incidents like Ruby openly denying lunch to 6-year-old Eve and then 15-year-old Chad confessing to sleeping on a beanbag for a staggering seven months following a harmless prank on his sibling. Yet, these inquiries hit a dead-end as Utah's Division of Child and Family Services couldn't validate the abuse claims.    Recent times saw Ruby frequently shuttle between her residence in Springville and Jodi's home in Ivins, Utah. During one of these transitions, they were apprehended, following consistent efforts by an alert neighbor and the couple’s estranged daughter, Shari, 20, to alert authorities. Voicing his concerns, the neighbor stated, “Child protective services conveyed that their hands were tied until a calamity occurred."    Currently, both Ruby and Jodi are incarcerated at Washington County Purgatory Correctional Facility, awaiting legal proceedings, while their counseling licenses remain suspended. Kevin, although interrogated, has not faced any charges. However, the debate on his role rages on. A concerned neighbor remarked, "Is Kevin culpable? Absolutely. His decision to vacate the home was critical."    In a landscape rife with digital celebrities, this distressing tale underscores the reality that not all that glitters online is gold. The Franke family's unraveling story serves as a reminder to always look beyond the screen. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Sherri Papini, once known as the California 'super mom' who staged her own abduction, has now stepped into the spotlight again. This time, not for her previous staged vanishing act, but for a mounting credit card debt and a contentious bid over insurance money.    Recently released from federal prison, the 41-year-old Papini is drawing attention to herself once more, but now through the lens of the legal system. After serving just over ten months of an 18-month sentence, Papini emerged from a halfway house in Oakland, California, greeted by eager photographers. Sporting a black cardigan, jeans, and shearling boots, Papini confidently waved her release papers. Exclusive photographs captured by DailyMail.com depict her vibrant expression, leaving the Oakland facility, and soon after, making a bold gesture towards the building as she made her departure.    "Being a part of the media for so long, it's no surprise Sherri continues to be a person of interest. The circumstances surrounding her case have always been a point of contention," remarked a local resident. Sherri's past includes a deceiving narrative where she falsely claimed to have been abducted, only to be discovered later that it was a ploy to reunite with a former boyfriend, James Reyes. This revelation not only shocked the nation but turned her life upside down, leading to her incarceration.    Now residing in Red Bluff, a quaint town located 30 miles south of her former home in Redding, California, Sherri hopes to rebuild her life. But a looming court date suggests she might have to deal with past indiscretions first.    Keith Papini, Sherri's estranged husband, detailed in legal documents that she accrued a credit card debt amounting to $3,238.10 over a span of just 15 days in August 2022. This spending spree, he noted, was done without any intent or means of repayment. An examination of the expenses reveals varied purchases ranging from an Airbnb stay in Montague, California, to shopping stints at local Walmart and Kohl's stores. Notably, there were multiple charges made to Amazon, a considerable amount spent on legal fees, and an upscale grocery splurge at Northern California's Raley's store.    Keith's lawyers, highlighting Sherri's lack of responsibility in a statement, stated, "This is who Sherri Papini is – Sherri comes first, consideration of others second, if at all, and truth, integrity, and morality of no consequence."    The couple's relationship has visibly strained since Sherri's elaborate deception came to light. Keith, who once ardently defended his wife's alleged kidnapping story on national television, filed for divorce soon after her arrest. In a heartfelt revelation to the court, Keith labeled his wife as a "skilled liar" and "a manipulator of others without empathy for their pain and loss." The anguish of betrayal echoed as he recollected how he and their children, Tyler and Violet, were deceived by Sherri's act.    Furthermore, Keith has alleged various unsettling behaviors displayed by Sherri, such as isolating the children, inadequate homeschooling, and even wearing cloth drenched in rubbing alcohol around her neck, deceiving her kids that it was a remedy for injuries.    With these allegations, Keith secured legal victories in the divorce procedures. He not only had Sherri declared an 'unfit parent' but also gained sole legal and physical custody of their children. Currently, Sherri's interactions with Tyler and Violet are restricted to supervised visits and voice or video calls at Keith's discretion.    The legal battles don't end here. Earlier this year, from her cell at Victorville, Sherri contested a postnuptial agreement from 2012. She argued that she was "coerced" into signing it, alleging a "violent relationship" with Keith. However, without concrete evidence to back her claims, Judge Summer Ryan ruled against her, directing Sherri to handle her credit card bill.    As the month progresses, Sherri will challenge this ruling in court, putting her in the legal limelight once again. Only time will tell if she'll find a way to start fresh or if past shadows will continue to haunt her future.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In an electrifying revelation that brings to light the tireless efforts of the New York State Police and the resilience of a family, 9-year-old Charlotte Sena was found safe and sound after a harrowing 48-hour search. The young girl vanished from Moreau Lake State Park in Gansevoort, N.Y., an event that prompted an all-out manhunt and an outpouring of community support.    Late on Monday, a statement from the New York State Police affirmed: “Charlotte Sena has been located and in good health." Governor Kathy Hochul, evidently relieved, expressed her gratitude to the authorities for their relentless search and to the larger community for their unwavering support, stating, "Extremely grateful to @nyspolice, @NYStateParks police, and all of our partners who worked tirelessly to locate Charlotte."    The recovery was no less than a feat of detective work. After the child's parents received a ransom note at their residence, it became clear that this was no ordinary missing child case. The note bore fingerprints that, fortuitously, were already in a law enforcement database. As Gov. Hochul explained, these prints were linked to a prior DWI case from 1999 in Saratoga, leading investigators on a trail that culminated at the home of Craig Nelson Ross Jr., a 47-year-old resident of the area.    What ensued was akin to scenes from a thriller. By 6:32 p.m. ET on Monday, law enforcement surrounded the suspect's camper, where Charlotte was finally discovered, concealed inside a cabinet. In a poignant recount, Gov. Hochul noted, “She knew that she was being rescued. She knew that she was in safe hands.”    Craig Nelson Ross Jr. is now in custody, charged with first-degree kidnapping, and investigators are probing deeper into the case. It's noteworthy that Ross Jr. lived merely two miles away from the Sena family, although it remains uncertain if he had been surveilling Charlotte or if the kidnapping was an act of random predation.    The initial days following Charlotte's disappearance were tense. After she went missing during her solo bike ride, her family and other campers frantically searched the vicinity, joined soon after by the state police. As Gov. Hochul recounted, “[Charlotte] did a couple of loops with close friends she considers her cousins and then she decided... to go around one more time by herself." But within a brief span, Charlotte vanished. Her abandoned bike was later found, but details about its discoverer remain unclear.    In the wake of this traumatic event, the Sena family has been thrust into the spotlight. While they've solicited privacy during this trying period, they did convey their heartfelt gratitude. A statement by Charlotte's family eloquently encapsulated their emotions, "A huge thank you to the FBI, the New York State police... and hundreds of volunteers who supported us and worked tirelessly to bring Charlotte home."    Gov. Hochul, reflecting on the dramatic rescue, encapsulated the sentiments of many: “Often these stories don’t end up like this.” She then extended her gratitude to both local and federal law enforcement, emphasizing the significance of every passing moment in such cases.    Support has poured in from all quarters, including a GoFundMe page set up by Charlotte’s aunt to aid the Sena family in navigating the unforeseen challenges that lie ahead. The campaign's description reads poignantly, "... Any donations will go directly to her parents to help with any expenses while they transition back into some sense of normalcy."    As the story unfolds, it stands as a testament to the power of community, the efficacy of our law enforcement agencies, and the indomitable spirit of a family determined to find their child. Craig Nelson Ross Jr., now held without bail in Saratoga County Jail, awaits the next legal steps in this intense saga.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent announcement from the Missouri Department of Corrections, as reported by Ozarks First and the Springfield News-Leader, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, previously convicted for her part in her mother's murder, has been granted parole. Scheduled for release on December 28, 2023, Gypsy will have completed nearly 85% of her decade-long sentence by then. This case has remained in the public's consciousness not just due to its chilling nature, but also because of its portrayals in multiple documentaries and series.    Back in July 2016, Gypsy, now 32, admitted her guilt in the harrowing killing of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard. The judicial system handed down a 10-year prison term. Before this, Gypsy had also spent some time in Greene County Jail, which is credited towards her overall prison time.    The backdrop to this crime was disturbing. Dee Dee Blanchard's lifeless body was discovered in June 2015, leading authorities to swiftly charge both Gypsy and her then-boyfriend, Nick Godejohn, with first-degree murder. As investigations progressed, a disturbing narrative surfaced. Dee Dee had manipulated everyone - from family members to friends and the wider community - into believing that her daughter was a terminally ill teenager, with the cognitive capability of a 7-year-old, battling multiple diseases including muscular dystrophy and leukemia.    Adding to this twisted tale, Gypsy recounted that her mother silenced her during medical consultations, issuing warnings that escape attempts would be futile as law enforcement wouldn't credit her accounts. Reflecting on her turbulent past in the 2018 documentary Gypsy's Revenge, Gypsy divulged, "I couldn’t just jump out of the wheelchair because I was afraid and I didn’t know what my mother would do. I didn’t have anyone to trust.” After her sentencing in 2016, she confided to Dr. Phil McGraw, "I don’t believe [I] deserve as many years as I got. I believe firmly that murder is not okay. But I also understand why it happened, and I don’t believe that I’m in the right place to get the help that I need.”    Her ex-boyfriend, Godejohn, also 32, faced a different fate. In 2019, the Springfield News-Leader, in tandem with local channels KY3 and KOAM, reported his life sentence without parole possibility. This stemmed from his indisputable role in the 2015 fatal stabbing. Godejohn, who met Gypsy online and journeyed from Wisconsin to be with her in Missouri, reminisced about his time with her in a 2019 prison interview for the Oxygen special Gypsy Rose & Nick: A Love to Kill. “Those five days were the most intense, magical, and awe-inspiring days I’ve ever had,” he claimed.    However, the relationship between Blanchard and Godejohn has since fizzled out. PEOPLE magazine was informed by a close family friend in April 2019 that Gypsy had found new love, becoming engaged to a man she got to know while incarcerated.    This gripping story attracted widespread media attention, leading to its depiction in the HBO documentary Mommy, Dead and Dearest, and was the inspiration behind Hulu's miniseries The Act.

Ruby Franke's fall from grace sent shockwaves through the millions who faithfully followed her family-centric "8 Passengers" YouTube channel. The discovery of one of her six children, emaciated, covered in sores, and bound with duct tape, in Santa Clara, Utah, raised alarm bells and ended her career as a YouTube influencer.   Franke had always portrayed a picture-perfect life. "The Mormon mom appeared as if she led a loving, nurturing family life with a husband and a big brood of children," said a longtime viewer. However, that façade crumbled when alarming details emerged about her association with the controversial therapist, Jodi Hildebrandt, 54.    According to sources close to Franke, her demeanor began to shift after she started her association with Hildebrandt. A friend of Franke for over two decades revealed to Page Six, "Ruby’s values took a drastic turn. Suddenly, she was telling lies and becoming increasingly distant, cutting off her family with seemingly no explanation."    Jodi Hildebrandt was well-known in Santa Clara as a licensed therapist through her organization, ConneXions. This institution pitched itself as an online educational platform designed to help individuals navigate relationship challenges, anxiety, and more. However, beneath this respectable exterior, darker currents flowed. Hildebrandt and Franke’s close relationship led to rampant speculation, with some even drawing parallels to the iconic "Thelma & Louise."    As the duo ventured on numerous trips together, rumors started to swirl about the nature of their relationship. Randy S. Kester, who represented Franke's husband Kevin, stated that while there were murmurs, "I don’t have any concrete evidence of a romantic relationship, other than some video content that showed them holding hands."    Franke's husband Kevin, who was previously a professor at Brigham Young University, echoed these sentiments. He believed that his wife’s association with Hildebrandt significantly impacted their marital relationship. Franke became more distant, frequently leaving Kevin to care for their children while she traveled on business with Hildebrandt. Kester reported that "Kevin was supportive, hoping that these trips were part of Ruby's self-development journey."    Julie Deru, one of Franke’s sisters, expressed her discomfort with Hildebrandt’s teachings. "We were concerned about the messages Ruby started to propagate at family gatherings. They felt alien and contrary to what we knew."    Indeed, as time went on, Franke’s content began shifting. Once filled with wholesome family moments, her channels were gradually dominated by Hildebrandt, with topics such as "tactics of deception," "establishing a truth declaration," and discourses against "lust."    The crux of the concerns revolved around ConneXions' dubious counseling practices. Kevin Franke himself was roped into a men's group supported by Hildebrandt. For over a year, he was subjected to what many describe as emotional manipulation, being labeled "greedy," "narcissistic," and "selfish." These sessions were believed to be the driving force behind Kevin’s decision to move out, a move purportedly influenced by Hildebrandt.    However, perhaps the most shocking revelation came from Jessi Hildebrandt, Jodi's niece. In a heart-wrenching interview, she detailed her traumatic experiences while in Jodi's care as a teenager. Her stories of being tied up, blindfolded, and isolated for hours echoed the harrowing ordeal faced by Franke's child. Jessi declared, "Jodi firmly believes that shame should be punished severely."    Pam Bodtcher, described as "Jodi's surveillance," was another figure deeply involved in ConneXions. Jessi hinted at her complicit role, painting a picture of an intricate web of manipulation and control.    The dark saga culminated in August when the police were called to check on one of Franke's children. The subsequent investigation unveiled disturbing truths about what had transpired behind closed doors.    As the community grapples with this harrowing revelation, many believe that Hildebrandt was the mastermind. Franke's longtime friend summed it up: "While Ruby is not innocent, I believe there's hope for her to be rehabilitated. Jodi, however, is a different story."    This tale serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers lurking behind seemingly perfect facades and the importance of discernment in the world of online influence.

In an ongoing investigation concerning the gruesome murders of four University of Idaho students, police have delved deep into the digital trails left behind by the prime suspect, Bryan Kohberger. New court documents reveal that investigators have zeroed in on Kohberger's online searches, particularly focusing on queries related to knives.    The importance of this digital probe stems from the fact that all four victims were tragically stabbed to death. Authorities are yet to locate the murder weapon, which is a crucial piece of evidence in tying the case together. Kohberger, the individual at the heart of this chilling case, made an appearance in court in Moscow, Idaho on September 13, 2023. The primary question at the moment is: Could his online search histories provide the much-needed clues in this puzzling case?    "Understanding a suspect's digital footprints can often lead to breakthroughs in investigations," says a source familiar with such probes. And in Kohberger's case, this might just hold the key.    Documents uploaded to Kohberger's case docket this week provided insight into the depths of the investigation. Apart from the Amazon search history, which is at the center of this probe, other digital platforms are also under the scanner. Warrants have been issued for Kohberger's data across a range of platforms including Apple, Paypal/Venmo, Spotify, and YouTube.    Delving deeper into the details, the Latah County police in Idaho explicitly sought Amazon's assistance for "detailed customer click activity pertaining to knives and accessories" for specific periods in 2022 - from March 20 to March 30 and again from Nov. 1 to Dec. 6. From the looks of it, the tech giant has been cooperative, forwarding the relevant information to the authorities.    Reflecting on the victims, they were identified as Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20. Each of them faced a violent end at the blade of a knife. Adding to the eerie nature of the crime, police have purportedly discovered Kohberger's DNA on a knife sheath, intensifying their search for any evidence pointing to him purchasing a large knife compatible with the sheath.    "The digital age brings with it a plethora of data, making it harder for suspects to cover their tracks fully," comments a criminologist, highlighting the importance of examining digital histories in modern crime-solving.    Subsequent warrants served to Apple on August 1, were quite comprehensive. The authorities demanded exhaustive account information that encompassed emails, attachments, instant messages, and even data stored in iCloud. By August 9, this trove of information was in the hands of law enforcement, as per the filing.    The magnifying glass also extended over Kohberger's Paypal/Venmo activities. Investigators requested specific data ranging from screen names to billing information, concentrating on a period from June 22 to Dec. 31, 2022. It's notable that this timeline is right up to a day before the dramatic arrest of Kohberger at his parents' residence in Pennsylvania.    As the story unfolds, Bryan Kohberger, originally a Pennsylvania native and a criminology student at Washington State University in Pullman, is facing grave charges. He's been indicted on four counts of first-degree murder in relation to the University of Idaho slayings.    As the digital web tightens around the case, it remains to be seen if Kohberger's online traces will shed light on the dark events that transpired, leading to the tragic demise of four young students. As the world watches with bated breath, the role of technology in crime and investigation is once again brought to the forefront. How many more secrets do these online histories hold? Only time will tell. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In an unexpected and alarming event last week, a Florida resident, Joseph Scaglione, and a neighborhood dog found themselves at the jaws of a rabid otter in Jupiter, Florida. This incident has raised concerns about the dangers posed by wild animals, particularly those infected with the deadly rabies virus.    The Incident    Joseph Scaglione, while feeding ducks in his backyard, was taken by surprise when an otter leaped from a nearby pond and bit him multiple times. "My pinky bore the brunt of the attack. I sustained two puncture wounds on it. I'm uncertain if the bite went right through, with one wound near the cuticle," Scaglione conveyed to CBS Miami.    On the same day, a dog, accompanied by its owners and their infant, became the otter's next target in the vicinity. The community's swift response led to the otter being safely captured using a recycling bin. Sadly, the creature tested positive for rabies and was subsequently euthanized.    Given the gravity of the situation, the Florida Department of Health for Palm Beach County felt it essential to notify the public, emphasizing the urgency to avoid wild and potentially feral animals and to promptly report any suspicious animal activity to Animal Care and Control.    The Menace of Rabies    But what exactly is rabies? A viral ailment predominantly transmitted by animals, rabies can infect humans when they're bitten or scratched by an infected creature. A chilling fact about rabies, as highlighted by the Mayo Clinic, is the near non-existence of survivors once the disease manifests. The only recourse, post exposure, is to receive immediate medical intervention, which usually involves a series of shots to counteract the infection.    Although globally, domestic dogs are responsible for 99% of human rabies cases, such instances are infrequent in the U.S. The threat in the States more often stems from wild animals like bats and raccoons, which can spread the disease via their saliva.    The World Health Organization (WHO) describes the symptoms of rabies as beginning with fever and a burning sensation and escalating to a fatal inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. Two primary forms of rabies exist: paralytic and furious. The latter can be particularly menacing, causing hallucinations, hydrophobia (a potent fear of water), and a fear of fresh air. Without swift intervention, death often follows within days.    Hydrophobia, a hallmark of rabies, manifests as a deep-seated dread of water. This symptom can be so overpowering that even attempting to sip water can trigger spasms in the infected person. A tragic case from 2018 detailed a 49-year-old man, bitten by a dog, who succumbed to rabies post displaying hydrophobia, despite an initial vaccine dose.    The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) staunchly advise that any interaction, especially those involving bites or scratches from unfamiliar or wild animals, mandates immediate consultation with healthcare professionals. An essential first aid measure involves thoroughly cleaning the wound with soap and water.    For those exposed, the suggested treatment is the administration of the human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) for immediate protection, followed by four doses of the rabies vaccine over two weeks. These vaccines, as per the CDC, are akin to the familiar flu or tetanus shots in terms of administration and discomfort.    A Deeper Dive into Otter Attacks    Otters, primarily peace-loving creatures, rarely engage in aggressive encounters with humans. Recent headlines, however, tell a different story. From a surfer in California getting an unexpected otter companion to three women in Montana facing an otter's wrath while tubing, there's been an uptick in such anomalies.    Historically, there have been only 44 reported otter attacks since 1875, as per a Canadian study from 2016. The study goes on to explain that such encounters are likely due to humans inadvertently venturing into otter territories. The otter's sharp canines can inflict severe injuries, and while rabies in otters is uncommon, it's not unheard of.    Precautionary Measures    For safeguarding pets and human communities, the Florida Department of Health underscores the importance of keeping pets' rabies vaccinations current. Additionally, supervising pets, alerting animal control about strays, and educating children on the dangers of interacting with unfamiliar animals are pivotal steps in ensuring safety.    In conclusion, while the recent otter incident in Florida was unusual, it serves as a grim reminder of the dangers lurking in our surroundings. It underscores the imperative need for awareness and precautionary measures against potential rabies exposure and its devastating consequences. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a shocking twist in the longstanding case of Suzanne Morphew's disappearance, authorities have finally located the remains of the Colorado mother of two. The discovery was made in Saguache County during an unrelated investigation, three years after Suzanne mysteriously vanished during a bike ride near her Maysville, Colorado home on Mother's Day, May 10, 2020.    The case had gained significant media attention since the day the 49-year-old mother vanished. "The heart-wrenching tale of Suzanne, who was last seen on that fateful Mother's Day bike ride, has haunted our community. The recovery of her remains is a significant breakthrough," said a source close to the case.    The story takes several twists and turns. Following Suzanne's initial disappearance, search teams located her bike and helmet, but the whereabouts of her body remained a mystery until the recent discovery.    Her husband, Barry Morphew, during an interview with FOX 21 in August 2020, expressed profound distress regarding her disappearance, saying it was "the most devastating thing that has ever happened to me." It's noteworthy that nearly a year after she went missing, Barry was indicted on charges of first-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence, and attempting to influence a public servant. He later entered a plea of not guilty.    However, the court saga took another twist when Assistant District Attorney Linda Stanley opted to drop the charges "without prejudice." This legal maneuver means that the charges against Barry can be reinstated in the future. Prosecutors, at the time, noted they believed they were on the verge of locating Suzanne's body and needed more time for thorough investigations.    One of the crucial pieces of evidence against Barry was a 129-page affidavit, which PEOPLE had previously reviewed. In it, investigators shared a January 2021 conversation where they informed Barry about an extramarital affair Suzanne had for almost two years before her disappearance. Barry's reaction was both contemplative and cryptic. He stated, "maybe in God's eyes this was his way of resolving something." He further grappled with the divine implications of the tragedy, expressing confusion over why such an event would happen.    Subsequent sections of the affidavit paint a disturbing image, suggesting that Barry may have treated Suzanne like prey, allegedly trying to "hunt and control Suzanne like he had hunted and controlled animals."    The Morphew family, reeling from the allegations and subsequent release, made their emotions public in a conversation with ABC News. Barry expressed frustration at the prosecutors, believing they had wrongly accused him. His words conveyed deep frustration: "They've [prosecutors] got tunnel vision and they looked at one person and they've got too much pride to say they're wrong and look somewhere else." His daughter Mallory echoed this sentiment, pleading for justice for her mother and criticizing the perceived missteps in the prosecution.    Barry's attorney, Iris Eytan, in a candid conversation with PEOPLE in 2022, articulated her belief that even if Suzanne’s remains were found, there would be no link to her client.    Following the recent discovery of Suzanne's remains, Eytan issued a heart-wrenching statement on behalf of the Morphew family. The statement read, “Barry is with his daughters, and they are all struggling with immense shock and grief after learning today that their mother and wife whom they deeply love was found deceased."    Suzanne's story had reverberated within the community, especially after her sister shared on a local radio show that the missing mother had once voiced "concerns about her safety" before she vanished.    As of now, the question on everyone's mind is whether Barry Morphew will face a renewed round of charges in light of this discovery. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation, responsible for the announcement regarding Suzanne’s body identification, remains tight-lipped on the subject. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the ever-evolving realm of therapy and mental health, the importance of trust and credibility is paramount. But for Jodi Hildebrandt, a notable therapist with a previously established reputation, a series of alarming testimonials threaten to dismantle her professional standing. A recent expose on the popular podcast "Murder in the Morning" showcased disturbing reviews from former clients of Hildebrandt's therapy programs, raising serious questions about the ethics and efficacy of her methods.    Former client Dan's testimonial paints a troubling picture: "Jodi Hildabrandt's teachings cost me my marriage. She used shame as control," he revealed. He also accuses Hildebrandt of overbilling, citing instances where the therapist would charge for entire sessions even when plagued by connectivity issues. More concerning, Dan claims multiple breaches of client confidentiality, a fundamental tenet of therapy, alleging that Hildebrandt disclosed personal client information.    However, it's not just individual sessions that have come under scrutiny. The organizations associated with Hildebrandt, ConneXions Classroom and Moms of Truth, were flagged by another reviewer for perpetuating "destructive division." This anonymous female reviewer conceded that while there were positive teachings, they were overshadowed by instances of undue shaming. She went on to liken the behavior of Hildebrandt and her colleague Ruby to a "cult-like mentality."    Perhaps one of the most startling reviews came from a self-identified established therapist who trained under Jodi for a year. "I saw her tear apart families and destroy relationships," the therapist claimed, further stating a belief in Hildebrandt's malevolent intentions.    The controversy extends to interference in family dynamics. Calvin alleges that Jodi manipulated his children against him on the testimony of their mother, with whom she allegedly had no permission to communicate. He claims Jodi's advice led his children to sever all forms of contact with him.    Anna Marie and others, like Vincent and Dashi Stock, raise concerns over purported "brainwashing tactics" and slander. They all sound the alarm on the potential emotional and mental harm stemming from interactions with Hildebrandt and her associated entities.    Interestingly, Hildebrandt's alleged attempts to control her public image seem to spill over to online platforms. Christopher Edmondson highlights her practice of suppressing dissenting voices on her social media channels, describing a pattern of blocking or removing comments that challenge her teachings.

Kansas City Prosecutors charge a store employee after a fatal altercation following an alleged shoplifting incident.    A recent altercation at the O’Reilly Auto Parts store in Kansas City turned deadly when a 23-year-old man, Diamond Steen, allegedly attempting to shoplift, was strangled by a store employee. The incident has led to a significant criminal charge, highlighting the potentially dire consequences of taking the law into one's own hands.    On the evening of Sept. 19, a call was made to the Kansas City Police Department regarding a disturbance at the O’Reilly Auto Parts store located on Parallel Parkway. The caller informed the police dispatch that two men were allegedly shoplifting from the store. This led to a confrontation outside the store premises between the alleged shoplifters and the store employees. By the time the police arrived on the scene, they found one man unresponsive, necessitating immediate CPR. Unfortunately, efforts to revive him failed, and he was declared dead on the spot.    The deceased individual was later identified as Diamond Steen. Another individual, involved in the incident and bearing minor injuries, was promptly transported to a local hospital. He is now in stable condition.    Wyandotte County District Attorney, Mark Dupree, in a public announcement on Sept. 21, confirmed the arrest of Carl Kemppainen, a 39-year-old employee of the store. Kemppainen has been formally charged with second-degree murder. Elaborating on the seriousness of the charge, Dupree stated that Kemppainen is accused of unlawfully and intentionally causing Steen’s death. He further specified that the act was committed "recklessly," showcasing "extreme indifference" towards Steen’s life.    An autopsy report solidified the narrative of the fatal confrontation. The findings determined that the cause of Diamond Steen's death was strangulation, categorizing the manner of death as a homicide. The gravity of the situation was captured in Dupree's words: "The deceased’s airway was completely stopped, and that ultimately caused his death."    This incident has now opened a legal can of worms. Dupree mentioned the possibility of additional charges not only against Kemppainen but also other O’Reilly employees involved in the altercation. The ramifications of this event have the potential to extend far beyond just one individual.    The severity of the charges brought against Kemppainen is evident in the potential sentencing. If found guilty of the charges, he faces a prison term ranging from 109 months to 493 months. In simpler terms, Kemppainen could be incarcerated for approximately nine to 41 years. As of the latest reports, Kemppainen remains in custody at the Wyandotte County Jail, with his bond set at a hefty $125,000. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Portland Police brings closure to a long-unsolved mystery involving the death of a newborn found at a recycling facility.    In a breakthrough announcement, Portland Police reported the resolution of a decade-old cold case involving the mysterious death of a newborn. On May 28, 2013, the infant, who was later named "Baby Precious," was discovered by workers at a recycling facility located at 4325 N. Commerce St. The child's demise had been ruled as a homicide by the Medical Examiner, but the identity of Baby Precious remained an enigma.    The infant was found full-term with her umbilical cord still attached. According to the initial press release from the police, the child was believed to be of African American or biracial descent.    The trail into Baby Precious' tragic end went cold for several years. However, hope was renewed in 2019 when the case was taken up by the Portland Police Cold Case Unit. Detective Brendan McGuire took charge and made an effort to uncover the mystery by sending DNA samples to a forensics laboratory. Despite their endeavors, the results did not yield any leads.    It was only in 2021 that McGuire stumbled upon a potential family connection. Interestingly, this connection had been made by a relative who had submitted their DNA anonymously.    Fast forward to 2023, a significant development brought clarity to the case. Detectives successfully identified Baby Precious' parents. The child was named Amara.    On Sept. 18, a Multnomah County grand jury indicted Alnath Omar Oliver, Amara's father. Oliver, 53, faces charges of two counts of second-degree manslaughter, two counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment, third-degree rape, and concealing the birth of an infant. Three days later, on Sept. 21, Oliver was arrested. As per jail records, his bail stands at $100,000.    The revelations regarding the circumstances surrounding Amara's birth and subsequent death are alarming. As reported by The Oregonian/Oregon Live, the third-degree rape charges against Oliver emerged from the fact that he had a sexual relationship with Amara's mother when she was just 15, while he was in his 40s. Oliver has been accused of not allowing Amara’s mother to avail medical care during her pregnancy or provide the newborn with "adequate food, physical care, and medical attention" post-birth.    According to the reports, Amara's mother gave birth in Oliver's apartment. She was under the impression that Oliver had taken the baby to a hospital for her to be placed in state custody. Oliver, however, had a different account. He informed officials that baby Amara ceased breathing while he was on his way to the hospital. Consequently, he made the heart-wrenching decision to abandon her in a recycling bin.    The most tragic part of this narrative lies in the mother's belief. As per McGuire, the mother had remained under the impression that her child had been safely taken to a hospital. Learning about the true fate of her child was understandably devastating. "The news really sort of devastated this family," said McGuire.    This case's resolution serves as a testament to the relentless efforts of law enforcement officers and their commitment to delivering justice, no matter how long it takes. It's a poignant reminder of the complexities and intricacies surrounding many cold cases, and the determination required to solve them. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Hidden Horrors of Esteemed Scientist Adam Britton's Double Life In a story that has sent shockwaves across Australia and the international scientific community, the once-revered crocodile expert, Adam Britton, faces grave charges and admissions of heinous crimes, contrasting sharply with his previous standing as a celebrated zoologist.    From West Yorkshire to Australian Recognition    Adam Britton, originally from West Yorkshire in the UK, relocated to Australia after earning his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Bristol. His fascination with crocodiles led him to the northern part of Australia, where he rapidly established himself in the scientific community. Partnering with his wife, Erin, a biologist, Britton co-founded Big Gecko, a consultancy supplying crocodile footage to major film and television entities, including industry frontrunners like the BBC and National Geographic.    A Dark Obsession Unveiled    However, underneath this facade of professional accolades lay a deeply troubling secret. Since 2014, Britton engaged in the abuse and torture of over 42 dogs, including his own pets, Ursa and Bolt. Using the online platform Gumtree Australia, he deceived unsuspecting dog owners, often acquiring pets from those who were looking for new homes for their animals. Building a semblance of trust, Britton then subjected these dogs to unthinkable cruelty.    To exacerbate this, Britton maintained a meticulously detailed record of his transgressions. He converted a shipping container into a space he disturbingly labelled his 'torture room'. In this ghastly setting, equipped with recording equipment, Britton not only committed his vile acts but also shared the footage online. Using platforms like Telegram and pseudonyms such as 'Monster' and 'Cerberus', he detailed his actions and even discussed them with others.    The Disturbing Truth Emerges    The Northern Territory Animal Welfare Branch was alerted to one of Britton's videos in April 2022. Acting promptly, the police apprehended Britton and a subsequent search resulted in the confiscation of an array of incriminating items.    In a recent court appearance at the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory, Britton pleaded guilty to 47 counts of animal cruelty and several counts related to accessing and sharing child abuse materials. The explicitness of his crimes prompted Chief Justice Michael Grant to advise the public and staff to vacate the courtroom during the detailed presentation of the case. Labeling Britton's acts as "grotesque and perverse", Grant acknowledged the profound disturbing nature of the evidence.    A Life Shattered, A Reputation Destroyed    Adam Britton's actions have led to widespread shock and disbelief. His wife Erin, seemingly blindsided by her husband's malevolence, has taken steps to distance herself, notably changing her surname. As the zoologist awaits sentencing set for December 13, his case serves as a grim reminder: even those held in the highest esteem can harbor dark, unsettling secrets.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Utah has been thrown into a whirlwind of controversy following the arrest of YouTube vlogger Ruby Franke's business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, on child abuse charges. Alongside Franke, Hildebrandt was involved in counseling Mormon couples and families through her life coaching service, ConneXions. However, former patients are now shedding light on practices they believe were more akin to a cult than genuine counseling. Hildebrandt's program, described by seven former patients who accessed her services between 2008 and 2019, methodically isolated individuals from their loved ones, used "truth" and "deception" to manipulate perceptions, and even reportedly shattered marriages. "She wanted everything to stay in the group. You’re not allowed to have a different opinion than her," commented Stephanie Jones, a former patient. The revelations come amidst a shocking incident where Franke’s malnourished 10-year-old daughter and injured 12-year-old son were found in Hildebrandt's residence, leading to both women facing six counts of felony child abuse. It's essential to underline that these charges are unrelated to the allegations emerging about the ConneXions program. ConneXions, which Hildebrandt established in 2007, provided courses on relationships and parenting, rooted in the principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). A primary theme of the program is the dichotomy of "truth" and "deception." When individuals allowed their personal wants, needs, and experiences to overshadow these "truths," they were living in "distortion," according to the ConneXions course material reviewed by NBC News. Although Franke was prominently featured alongside Hildebrandt in service videos, none of the former clients who came forward claimed to have been counseled by her. The depth of Hildebrandt's misgivings runs deep, particularly with her focus on porn and sex addiction, especially for men. It's significant to note that "porn addiction" isn't recognized as a legitimate disorder by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Yet, it appears Hildebrandt, formerly specializing in "porn addiction" therapy, had no qualms diagnosing men without evidence of abnormal behaviors. Spencer Tibbets' story illustrates the profound disconnect in Hildebrandt's methods. At just 16, Tibbets, who had clandestinely obtained a phone for video games, was thrust into a men's group primarily focusing on porn addiction. Despite his lack of understanding about porn, he was exposed to disturbing conversations involving the sexual fantasies of fellow group members. In a past transgression, Hildebrandt faced disciplinary action by Utah officials in 2012 for breaching confidentiality with one of her patients, who later turned out to be Adam Paul Steed. Following this, he had his church privileges revoked, got temporarily suspended from Brigham Young University (BYU), and underwent a divorce, all consequences of Hildebrandt's disclosures and allegations. Reflecting on the devastation, Steed lamented, "My family got destroyed. My life got destroyed." For women like Stephanie Jones and Eliza Tibbets, Hildebrandt's diagnosis of "control addiction" seemed not only unprofessional but also mentally and emotionally detrimental. Both recounted feeling trapped, controlled, and constantly berated if they ever defied Hildebrandt's views. Hildebrandt's professional standing took a major hit recently. The Utah Division of Professional Licensing disclosed last week that she voluntarily surrendered her mental health counseling license, although it remains active but limited. With the dark cloud of abuse allegations looming over her, Hildebrandt's future in mental health counseling looks bleak. It remains to be seen how these events will unfold, but for now, the tale of Jodi Hildebrandt and ConneXions serves as a chilling reminder of the perils of blind trust in authority figures. As investigations continue, Utah's community will no doubt seek answers and justice for the many affected by Hildebrandt's controversial methods. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a harrowing incident that has sent shockwaves through the small town of Lyme, upstate New York, a man has been sentenced to 18 years to life in prison after murdering his sister, whom he believed was practicing witchcraft. The chilling details of this gruesome crime have been widely reported, drawing both local and international attention.    Disturbing Details  Anthony Dibella, 53, was found guilty of the horrific killing of his 67-year-old sister, Wanda Paoli, in April 2022. The fatal assault saw Paoli repeatedly stabbed in the head, neck, and face with two unusual weapons: a bayonet blade and an awl – a tool commonly used in leatherwork and wood marking.    “I was done with her witchcraft,” a seemingly unrepentant Dibella confessed to New York State Police troopers after they arrived at the residence. The crime scene, located on Failing Shores Lane in Lyme, a town not far from the Canadian border, was shared by the siblings and their 89-year-old mother, who fortunately remained unharmed during the violent episode.    The Arrest  In a twist that further underscores the shocking nature of this incident, it was Dibella himself who alerted law enforcement. In a chilling call made on April 28, 2022, Dibella informed Jefferson County 911 dispatchers, “Wanda Paoli is being killed, she is a witch, killed with a knife and awl, and is currently on the porch.”    Empire State police officers were on the scene by 11:30 a.m., discovering the grievously injured Paoli on the back porch of their residence. NYSP Trooper and Public Information Officer Jack Keller, speaking to CBS affiliate WWNY, recounted the grim scene: “Troopers arrived on scene, she was already outside, laying outside the side door. They immediately attempted to perform rescue efforts, unfortunately, she succumbed to those injuries.”    Later that day, during an intense interrogation, Dibella made several confessions, revealing his twisted rationale. He told troopers, “I had to do what I did to her because she was getting in the way of me communicating to God.” Dibella further expressed his disapproval of certain practices, saying, “People are worshipping rocks and dirt instead of God.”    The Investigation and Trial  As the investigation progressed, the police gathered more damning evidence against Dibella. A notable revelation came from the defendant's brother, Russell Dibella, who resides in Texas. Russell informed the police that Anthony had confessed to the crime over a phone call, chillingly stating, “I killed her” and “I stabbed her in the head.”    Initially, Anthony Dibella had pleaded not guilty to the charges of second-degree murder and two counts of fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. However, in July, in a turn of events, he pleaded guilty to the primary charge of murder.    On Wednesday, after a trial marked by its disturbing details and tragic family dynamics, Dibella was handed down his sentence in a Jefferson County court, as reported by WWNY.    Conclusion  This tragic incident underscores the dangerous intersection of deep-seated beliefs, mental health, and potential acts of violence. The community of Lyme and its residents are undoubtedly grappling with the profound impact of this crime, and the broader public is left to reflect on the often-unseen tensions that can exist within families. Our condolences extend to all affected by this tragic event. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

An unsettling incident at an Indianapolis Wyndham hotel has led to the arrest of Sharon Key, 32, who reportedly injured her 1-year-old niece in a chaotic attempt to attack her dog. The incident, as revealed by reliable sources including FOX59, the Indianapolis Star, and KFOR, took place after a dispute over a chicken sandwich.    The Disturbing Series of Events  On a seemingly ordinary Tuesday evening, Sharon Key, along with her family, stopped at a Burger King for some food. Upon their return to the Wyndham hotel, Key's sister placed the infant on the bed and retreated to prepare a bath for another child. However, what unfolded next is both tragic and perplexing.    As cited by KFOR, a perturbed Key, angered by her pit bull's audacity to devour her chicken sandwich, embarked on a frenzied chase with a knife. In a twist of misfortune, as the dog sought refuge on the same bed the baby was placed on, Key's alleged attempt to stab the animal went awry, grievously injuring the child instead.    This shocking sequence was corroborated by the child’s mother, who, upon hearing a disturbing “commotion”, found her child in distress and covered in blood. Adding to the chilling scene was Key, knife in hand, allegedly confessing her unintended act to her sister. Key then made a hasty escape, only to be arrested the following morning, inconspicuously hiding in a nearby bush, as reported by the Indianapolis Star.    The Aftermath  The infant, tragically caught in this whirlwind of events, was immediately rushed to the hospital in a critical condition. While the child's physical injuries will heal over time, the emotional scars are undeniable. The victim’s grandfather, Tracy Griffin, lamented to KFOR, "The child is scarred for the rest of her life."    A dive into Sharon Key's past, as revealed by jail records sourced from PEOPLE, uncovers a history marred with battery charges dating back to 2013. Further insights from the family indicate that Key's struggles with addiction and mental health had not gone unnoticed. They assert that city services failed to provide her with the requisite care, which might have played a part in this heart-rending episode.    Legal Proceedings  Sharon Key now faces serious legal repercussions. She has been charged with a criminal act using a deadly weapon and neglecting a dependent, as court records scrutinized by PEOPLE have confirmed. The gravity of the situation and the media attention it has garnered make it a case to watch.    As of now, there's uncertainty surrounding Key's legal representation. Efforts to contact her attorney by PEOPLE were unsuccessful, and it remains undetermined whether she has entered a plea.    Conclusion  This disturbing incident in Indianapolis serves as a grim reminder of the unpredictable outcomes when unchecked emotions, addiction, and mental health issues intersect. It also underscores the importance of timely intervention and support. Our thoughts are with the victim and her family, hoping for her swift recovery and long-term healing.

The tragic and perplexing death of Ellen Greenberg in 2011 remains a point of contention and heartbreak for her family. Despite the Pennsylvania appellate court's recent ruling against them, the Greenbergs refuse to let the matter rest. A Death Shrouded in Doubt Ellen, a respected teacher in Philadelphia, was discovered dead in her Manayunk apartment on a bleak, snowy evening in January 2011. The circumstances surrounding her death were puzzling. With her apartment door deadbolted from the inside, her fiancé had to break in after futilely trying to reach her for over an hour. What he found was shocking: Ellen's lifeless body with 20 stab wounds. However, the medical examiner's report compounded the family's anguish. Initially categorizing her death as a homicide, the examiner later reversed this to "suicide." As Joshua Greenberg, Ellen's father, shared with CBS News Philadelphia, "We don't believe our daughter committed suicide." The change in the cause of death has led to widespread skepticism. Not only does the Greenberg family doubt the conclusion, but their attorneys, their experts, and even some court officials have voiced concerns about the investigation's integrity. Legal Roadblocks and Controversy In their pursuit of justice, the Greenbergs have faced a maze of legal setbacks. Recently, their bid to change the official cause of death on their daughter's death certificate was thwarted by the Commonwealth Court. The court's 2-to-1 ruling stated that the Greenbergs didn't have the standing to raise this challenge. Yet, even within this ruling, questions were raised. As Joshua Greenberg noted, the judges indicated that the investigation had evident flaws involving the police, the medical examiner, and the district attorney. Such criticisms are amplified by the Greenbergs' attorney, Joe Podraza. Speaking with CBS News Philadelphia, he expressed disbelief over how Ellen's death was handled by various city agencies. One particular point of contention is a wound on Ellen's neck that had no blood traces, suggesting it was inflicted post-mortem. "To say this is a suicide is to say that Ellen stabbed herself twice after she was already dead," Podraza stated, emphasizing the absurdity of such a claim. The Quest for Evidence and Transparency The Greenberg family's crusade for the truth doesn't stop at challenging the medical examiner's findings. They have also taken legal action against the city, aiming to gain access to potentially revealing surveillance footage from Ellen's apartment building and the entire police case file. Additionally, they're suing the medical examiners, alleging a cover-up of a homicide. These efforts point to a deeper issue at hand: possible obstructions in the investigation. When asked if someone might be thwarting the investigation, Podraza responded, "There's something going on here plainly interfering with it. I don't know what it is." In a response to the ongoing controversy, the City of Philadelphia urged the Greenbergs to present any new evidence they might have to the investigators in Chester County, as they now hold the authority to re-investigate the case. An Undying Hope for Justice The pain for the Greenbergs is palpable. Each day without Ellen is a reminder of their loss. Sandra Greenberg, Ellen's mother, shared, "I try not to dwell on that even though there is a big hole in my heart." Despite the majority ruling of the Commonwealth Court against the Greenbergs, a glimmer of hope remains. A third judge believed the family had a valid standing to challenge the death certificate's cause of death. Buoyed by this support, the Greenbergs are now setting their sights on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, even though it remains uncertain whether the court will entertain the matter. In Conclusion The tragedy of Ellen Greenberg's death is compounded by the numerous unanswered questions and the arduous legal battles faced by her family. As they remain unwavering in their pursuit of truth and justice, one can only hope that clarity and closure will someday be achieved for both Ellen and her loved ones.

In a recent development surrounding the Delphi murders, a memorandum filed in the Carroll County Circuit Court has shed light on potential links between the crime and followers of the pagan Norse religion, Odinism. The document, titled "FINAL DRAFT - Delphi Franks brief," suggests that members of Odinism, a religion hijacked by white nationalists, may have been involved in the ritualistic killings of Abigail Williams and Liberty German.    Key Claims from the Document:    Odinist Signatures at the Crime Scene: The memorandum claims that symbols in the form of runes, associated with Odinism, were found at the crime scene. These runes were allegedly formed with sticks, fashioned with tree branches, and painted using the blood of one of the victims, Liberty German.    BH's Connection: BH (Name Redacted), an Odinite from Logansport, is highlighted due to his son's previous relationship with one of the victims, Abigail Williams. Disturbing images on H's social media, some mimicking the crime scene, were discovered by a concerned citizen from Georgia. Despite these findings, the Unified Command, a group overseeing the investigation, quickly cleared H as a suspect.    Failure to Pursue Odinist Links: The document criticizes law enforcement's decision to abandon the Odinism angle early in the investigation. This decision was reportedly based on an unidentified Purdue professor's opinion, which dismissed the possibility of Odinist involvement.    Exculpatory Evidence Withheld: The memorandum alleges that the prosecution withheld crucial evidence, including a letter containing information that could prove the innocence of the accused, Richard Allen. This letter, sent by former Rushville Assistant Police Chief Todd Click, expressed concerns about the direction of the investigation and the evidence against Allen.    Richard Allen's Innocence: The document strongly asserts that Richard Allen, the accused, has no connections to Odinism or any pagan cult. Furthermore, no forensic evidence, such as DNA or electronic data, links Allen to the crime scene.    Odinists in Westville Correctional Facility: The memorandum suggests that members of the Odinist cult are employed as corrections officers at Westville Correctional Facility, where Richard Allen is allegedly being threatened and mentally abused.    Quotes from the Document:    "Overwhelming evidence in this case supports the following: Members of a pagan Norse religion, called Odinism, hijacked by white nationalists, ritualistically sacrificed Abigail Williams and Liberty German."    "BH was never considered a suspect in the murders of Abby and Libby. State Trooper Jerry Holeman, one of the law enforcement officers in charge of organizing and investigating the Delphi murders, claimed in his August 10, 2023 deposition that Brad Holder was not really ever a suspect."    "Richard Allen has zero connections to any pagan cult or pagan cultists, and furthermore no forensic evidence (such as DNA) or electronic evidence links Richard Allen to the girls or to the crime scene."    Conclusion:    The memorandum presents a compelling argument for the reevaluation of the evidence and the direction of the Delphi murder investigation. The potential involvement of Odinists and the subsequent dismissal of this angle by law enforcement raises serious questions about the integrity of the investigation. As the case continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these new revelations will impact the pursuit of justice for Abigail Williams and Liberty German.

The bizarre saga surrounding Utah mom and author, Kouri Richins, just took another dramatic turn. Richins, who gained infamy for writing a book about grief following the alleged murder of her husband, now insists a suspicious letter retrieved from her cell was, in fact, a snippet from a new work of fiction she's crafting.    For context, Kouri Richins, after purportedly orchestrating the death of her husband Eric Richins, penned a heart-wrenching tale titled “Are You With Me?”. It's a book that chronicles grief, written only a year after she allegedly poisoned her spouse with a lethal Moscow mule infused with fentanyl. These actions were clouded by rumors of an extramarital affair and Eric's looming suspicions, having once shared with a close friend that Kouri might be attempting to poison him. The suspicion further intensified when, following Eric's untimely death, Kouri was set to close a whopping $2 million deal for a grand 22,000-square-foot home, a deal her husband had previously declined to fund.    In a recent development, last week, authorities discovered a six-page handwritten letter, titled “Walk the Dog,” in Richins' cell. This document, directed to her mother, Lisa Darden, allegedly contained a 'playbook' on how to coach her brother into validating a false narrative about Eric Richins' drug acquisitions from Mexico prior to his fatal overdose. Prosecutors were quick to interpret this as a brazen attempt at witness tampering.    However, in a twist that can only be described as audacious, Richins' defense, in freshly filed court documents, asserts this letter is merely a fragment of a fictional story Kouri is penning about her imaginary stint in a Mexican prison. According to the court filing obtained by Fox 13 Now, Richins clarified to her mother, “When I first got in here I was telling you how I was writing a book … those papers were not a letter to you guys, they were part of my freaking book … I was writing this fictional mystery book.”    Attempting to further distinguish her "fictional" account from reality, Richins expounded upon her story, sharing how it involved a quest to Mexico in search of drugs and eventually led to her incarceration in a Mexican prison. This narrative, however far-fetched, is being presented as the explanation for the questionable letter.  What amplifies the absurdity of these claims is the sheer audacity of Richins' recounting, even suggesting she'd asked her attorney, Skye Lazaro, to smuggle in teeth-whitening strips due to the excessive coffee consumption in her fictional Mexican jailhouse.  Richins' attorney, Skye Lazaro, while defending her client, expressed their intention to further contest the State’s allegations and emphasized the impropriety of making the letter public.  However, defense attorney Steve Burton, though not linked with the case, offered an analytical perspective to KUTV, stating, “In a case like this, you want to try to protect against convicting somebody before all the evidence is out.” Yet, he acknowledged the implausibility of Richins' narrative by noting the difficulty of explaining her sudden switch from truth to fiction.    The intrigue doesn't end there. Richins recently underwent a seizure due to being administered the incorrect medication at the Summit County Jail, where she's currently incarcerated. This medical mishap subsequently led to the discovery of the controversial letter.    Given the circumstances, Richins' defense has moved to accuse the state of breaching its gag order by releasing the letter, suggesting it might influence potential jurors.    Amid these convoluted twists and turns, one thing remains clear: Kouri Richins, whether crafting tales of grief or elaborate fictional adventures in Mexican prisons, consistently finds herself enmeshed in stories of deception. The challenge for the courts and the public will be distinguishing the facts from the fiction in this puzzling narrative. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a shocking revelation, Matthew Richards, a 41-year-old youth pastor from Shawnee, Kansas, is facing grave charges of attempting to kill his wife, five children, and committing arson at his own residence. Authorities have detailed the alleged events that transpired on the early hours of September 16.    The Chilling Accusation  According to the Shawnee Police Department, on September 16, firefighters and police officers arrived at Richards' residence on Goode Drive at approximately 3:47 a.m. This was in response to alarming reports of a disturbance paired with a fire. On inspection, a fire was identified in the basement and promptly doused by the responding firefighters.    Subsequent investigations painted a horrifying scene. All members of the family, including Richards’ wife, Stephanie, their 19-year-old child, and four younger children, sustained laceration injuries, with the police noting the injuries were of "varying degrees." In connection with this, Richards now stands charged with five counts of attempted premeditated first-degree murder and an additional count of aggravated arson with the risk of causing bodily harm.    Both Richards and the injured family members were quickly transported to a nearby hospital for emergency medical treatment.    Richards: The Man Behind the Accusation  Richards, a key figure at the Crossroads Christian Church since August 2016, is described on the church's website as “a big kid who loves teaching little kids about Jesus.” The biography goes on to provide insights into his personal life, highlighting his marriage with Stephanie since 2003 and their five children. They uphold three cardinal family rules: 1. Love God, 2. Love People, and 3. Love Sports, with particular affection for the Jayhawks and Sporting KC.    However, in the wake of these serious allegations, there's a palpable dissonance between the family-oriented, religious figure depicted in his biography and the grim charges he currently faces.    Church's Response to the Incident  The gravity of the situation did not go unnoticed by the senior leadership of Crossroads Christian Church. Senior Pastor Kurt Witten took to an official platform on the very day of the incident, stating, "We are aware of the situation involving our Children’s Pastor, Matt Richards." He further noted the church's intention to gather more information and assured the congregation and community of a comprehensive statement in due course. Pastor Witten urged for respect considering the ongoing nature of the investigation and solicited prayers for the beleaguered Richards family.    Ongoing Investigation  Authorities remain committed to piecing together the exact sequence of events leading up to that fateful morning. As the investigation delves deeper, Richards is held on a $5 million bond, reflecting the severity of the accusations against him.    The unfolding of these events has understandably left the Shawnee community in a state of shock. Such incidents remind us that appearances can be deceptive, and even the most unsuspecting individuals can harbor dark secrets. As the investigation progresses, the community and the church await clarity on this tragic incident, hoping for justice and healing for all those involved.    In these testing times, Shawnee unites, with many focusing on supporting the Richards family and praying for their speedy recovery. It remains essential to respect the ongoing investigation, allowing authorities to carry out their duties in the pursuit of the truth. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The New York Post recently reported that in the early hours of a seemingly ordinary Friday morning on July 14, real estate agent Jeffrey St. Arromand's daily routine was abruptly shattered by a phone call that sent shockwaves through his world. The voice on the other end of the line was one of his clients, her voice shaking, breathless, and scared. The news had just broken that the notorious Gilgo Beach serial killer, who had evaded capture for over a decade, had been arrested. The suspect was Rex Heuermann, an architect she had worked closely with over the past year on a Brooklyn brownstone project.    Jeffrey, of Serhant, vividly recalled his interactions with Heuermann, yet it was his client's chilling experiences with Heuermann that drew a cold veil of shock over their past professional associations. Speaking anonymously, she recounted her baffling encounters with Heuermann, which dated back to 2002 when she had purchased her Crown Heights home. Fast-forward two decades later, in 2022, Heuermann played a significant role in renovating her property as the expeditor and architect, which was ultimately sold.    "She drove him home once because she relocated to Long Island," St. Arromand told The Post, hinting at a journey along a "dark and desolate." Reflecting on that eerie drive home, the client revealed a haunting conversation that had taken place between them. "At one point on the drive, we talked about the Gilgo Beach murders — we even discussed the burlap and why someone would use that. In retrospect, thinking about that conversation, it's just bone-chilling," she confessed.    She noted his peculiar behavior as she delved further into her interactions with Heuermann during the renovation. "Throughout the transaction, he was becoming very difficult to work with, even belligerent sometimes. He was constantly arguing with the plumber on the job and questioning his work. Just very odd behavior," she said. "For some reason, in this transaction, he would constantly say, 'I'm not doing anything to get a fine or open an investigation of my license.'"    After the finalization of the property sale, her distaste for Heuermann had grown so much that she preferred him not to attend the closing. “When we ultimately were able to close on the property, I had such a bad experience with Rex that I told him not to attend the closing,” she said. Regardless, he was still owed a balance of payment and made a separate trip to the attorney's office to pick it up. "Apparently he had some disagreement with one of the women associates at the firm. This associate was so uncomfortable with her exchange with Rex that she refused to be in the office when he picked up the check. Ultimately the partner at the firm gave the check to Rex when he arrived with his daughter," she explained.    St. Arromand shared that the property was eventually sold to a celebrity buyer whose identity remains a secret. Despite the troubling interactions with Heuermann, his client had always spoken highly of his work. “She’s someone that really supported this guy,” St. Arromand expressed. "She needed the weekend just to decompress," he added, as she grappled with the shocking revelation of Heuermann's arrest.    The Friday discovery marked a shocking turn of events, leaving St. Arromand and his client to grapple with the chilling reality that a man they thought they knew well could be capable of such horrendous acts. This narrative is a sobering reminder of how little we might know about those we interact with daily and the mysteries that might lurk beneath the surface.

The unraveling tale of Kouri Richins, a Kamas mother of three accused of fatally poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, and subsequently writing a children's book about grieving, has taken another shocking turn. The Summit County Attorney's Office has recently filed a motion to prevent Richins from communicating with her immediate family, suggesting she's attempting to manipulate them into lying for her defense.    On September 14, a search of Richins’ jail cell in the Summit County Jail, where she’s held without bail facing aggravated murder and drug charges, led to a startling discovery. Hidden inside a book, deputies found a six-page letter apparently written by Kouri to her mother, Lisa Darden. This letter's initial three pages contained directives for Lisa to relay to Ronney Darden, Kouri's brother.    "Reword this however he needs to, to make the point," she emphatically wrote. "Just include it all."    Within the contents of this letter, Kouri seemingly attempts to craft a narrative for her defense. She urges Ronney to inform her defense attorney, Skye Lazaro, of a supposed incident wherein Eric procured drugs, including fentanyl, from a ranch in Mexico. Further, she alleges Eric forced her to transport drugs during their travels, suggesting a plot to frame her if they were caught. Moreover, Kouri claims that Ronney possesses text messages from Eric that revolve around “getting high.”    "Tell him I need him to do this," she implored her mother. "Bring me home and we will get those damn b- - - - - -."    However, in a candid conversation with KPCW, Ronney stated he was unaware of the existence of the controversial letter. While admitting to knowing about Eric's marijuana habits, he firmly declared, “There's no reason to testify falsely—[Kouri] didn't do anything.”    The intrigue doesn’t stop there. The letter unveils Kouri’s wish for her mother to disseminate pictures of Eric’s sister's daughters to various media entities. It appears that Kouri wanted to shift public sentiment, noting that she had friends scheduled to appear on Good Morning America. Coordinated by Lazaro, these friends were poised to discuss Eric’s alleged pill consumption and portray his sisters as envious adversaries.    Kouri’s perspective? “This comes down to jealousy, money, and Eric’s partying that they don’t want to acknowledge and sadly an accidental overdose,” she alleged.    As the motion reveals, another twist arose: prosecutors highlight an alleged video call between Kouri and Lisa on September 13. During the call, Kouri reportedly showed her mother another letter. The whereabouts of this letter remain unknown, with prosecutors speculating, “There is a strong inference that the September 13, 2023 letter was destroyed or flushed.”    Lazaro’s response was swift. Accusing the prosecutors of violating a gag order, she vehemently objected to the public disclosure of the September 14 letter. To Lazaro, this move by the state felt akin to a direct leak to the media. She emphasized the envelope that contained the letter was marked "Skye Lazaro (Attorney privilege)", hinting at a potentially illicit search by the state. The defense claims that by unveiling the letter, the prosecutors aimed to sway public perception, further pointing out past instances where the state inadvertently shared Kouri’s sensitive information.    The defense’s demands are clear: Enforce the gag order, potentially remove the letter from the docket, and hold the state in contempt of court.    Additionally, concerns about Kouri’s health have emerged. On September 12, just days before the cell search, she was hospitalized. The reason remains undisclosed, but according to Ronney, a medication mix-up in the Summit County Jail led to her health scare.    With the court recently issuing subpoenas for Kouri's medical records and the jail's surveillance footage, the next stages of this trial promise more revelations. Kouri Richins' next court appearance is slated for November 3, potentially setting the stage for a preliminary hearing.    As this engrossing case continues, the stakes for all involved escalate. The quest for truth amidst a web of allegations, potential manipulations, and heartfelt emotions ensures that Summit County's trial remains under a relentless spotlight..  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

For five long decades, the tragic tale of Debbie Lynn Randall's brutal rape and murder has haunted the Marietta community of Georgia. On that ill-fated day in mid-January 1972, a family was shattered and a community forever scarred. The nine-year-old disappeared, leading thousands to rally together, united in their determination to find her. Sixteen days later, their worst fears were realized when Debbie's raped and strangled body was discovered near Windy Hill and Powers Ferry Road intersection. Fast forward to 2022, the wheels of justice began turning once more, when a piece of cloth recovered from the crime scene was reanalyzed due to increased funding for DNA testing. The esteemed DNA Labs International carried out meticulous testing, and against all odds, a potential match for the killer emerged. The identified suspect was William Rose, a man who remarkably evaded police radar during the initial investigations. But fate had another twist in store; William Rose, who was a mere 24 years old at the time of Debbie's murder, took his own life in 1974, just two years after committing the heinous act. If alive today, he would be around 75. Tragically, Debbie's parents never lived to see this breakthrough. Her mother succumbed to leukemia in 2018, and her father passed away in the subsequent year. But Melvin Randall, Debbie’s tenacious brother, was present at the news conference to confront the dark past and hopefully find some closure. "My family appreciates everything they’ve done - all the time and the effort to bring closure," an emotional Mr. Randall stated. His poignant words echoed the pain of countless families who've been robbed of their loved ones, "I wish my mother was here, but I know she knows in heaven that it’s finally over." That fateful evening, Debbie had accompanied her stepfather to the laundromat. However, when her mother arrived around 8:30 pm, worried over her prolonged absence, the young girl was nowhere to be found. All that remained was spilled laundry detergent, and reports of a dark pickup truck speeding away. Ron Alter, a dedicated cold case investigator with the district attorney’s office, delved deep into Rose's past. It emerged that while he didn’t reside in Marietta, Rose likely had family connections there. "If he drove by, I’m sure he saw her. I believe that was a crime of opportunity. He saw her by herself and abducted her," speculated Mr. Alter. With prior alcohol-related arrests, the reason behind Rose's subsequent suicide remains a point of debate. According to Mr. Alter, Rose might have been overwhelmed by guilt or the looming threat of incarceration. The resolution of this cold case shines a light on the relentless advances in forensic technology. Cobb County District Attorney Flynn Broady praised these developments, emphasizing, "It may take us some time, but with the new technologies emerging every day, we’re committed to solving our cold cases, ensuring justice is served." For Melvin Randall, this resolution, while bringing clarity, also offers a chance at personal healing. Overwhelmed but resilient, he revealed his journey towards forgiveness. "I learned over the years that it does you no good to hate or hold grudges." The story of Debbie Lynn Randall serves as a poignant reminder: time might pass, but the quest for justice never truly fades. With technology's ever-advancing hand and the perseverance of those committed to the truth, hope remains alive for countless unsolved cases worldwide.

The anticipated bail hearing for Ruby Franke, 41, and Jodi Hildebrandt, 54, originally set for Monday, was unexpectedly postponed just an hour before it was due to start. As the cloud of allegations surrounding the two Mormon podcasting partners grows darker, the legal system is making cautious steps, with the Utah State Court officials citing the "additional time needed to review copious amounts of discovery" as reported by KUTV.    Both women are currently facing severe accusations: each charged with six counts of felony child abuse. Arrested in late August, neither Franke nor Hildebrandt has yet entered pleas. Their legal teams remain silent, refraining from commenting to the media.    The arrest was spurred by a chilling 911 call. Officers were dispatched to Hildebrandt’s residence in Ivins, Utah after a distressed neighbor reported a disturbing scene. He claimed that Franke’s 12-year-old son turned up at his house, his body emaciated and covered in wounds, pleading for food and water. Following this, Franke’s 10-year-old daughter was found in a similarly concerning state at Hildebrandt's home.    Reacting to these alarming revelations, Franke’s oldest daughter, Shari, expressed her relief on Instagram. Sharing an image of the police outside their family house, she commented, "Today has been a big day. Me and my family are so glad justice is being served. We've been trying to tell the police and CPS for years about this, and so glad they finally decided to step up."    Ruby Franke, once a prominent social media figure, attracted nearly 2.5 million viewers to her YouTube channel "8Passengers." However, in 2022, the family ceased their vlogging activities. Franke's career took a controversial turn when she teamed up with Hildebrandt for the “ConneXions” podcast. Their shared "Moms of Truth" social media platforms began circulating contentious parenting advice. Alongside these controversial tips, clips from ConneXions displayed Franke making disturbing remarks on serious topics such as eating disorders, sexual assault, and immigration, further stoking public outrage.    In the wake of Franke's arrest, her four youngest children were placed under the protection of child protective services. Their father, Kevin Franke, separated from the family for roughly a year, has now returned to their Springville, Utah home. His attorney, Randy Kester, expressed to The Salt Lake Tribune their intent to reunite the children with their father. Kester remarked after a custody hearing, emphasizing the children's need to be with family, specifically his client, Kevin.    Interestingly, Franke's extended family, notably her three sisters who maintain a prominent social media presence, voiced their concerns. They collectively stated that behind the glitz and glamour of the public eye, they have "done everything [they] could to try and make sure the kids were safe."    Their joint statement is a poignant reminder of the incident's gravity: "Ruby was arrested which needed to happen. Jodi was arrested which needed to happen. The kids are now safe, which is the number one priority."    The rescheduled hearing date is yet to be confirmed but is anticipated to be held after October 5, 2023, as per Fox 13's reporting. The world watches closely, awaiting the court’s verdict on this unsettling case, a grim reminder that not all is as it seems behind the curtains of social media stardom.

In a shocking turn of events that has shaken the community of Duxbury, Lindsay Clancy, a 32-year-old mother, has been indicted on murder charges in the deaths of her three young children. The indictment was announced on Friday by the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office.  Clancy is now facing a hefty weight of charges – three counts each for murder and strangulation – in the tragic deaths of her children: 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and an infant, 8-month-old Callan Clancy. Previously, Clancy had been charged in the Plymouth District Court. However, following Friday's grand jury indictments, the gravity of the case has led to it being transferred to Plymouth Superior Court, which typically adjudicates more severe crimes    On January 24th, inside the Clancy's Duxbury residence, a horrendous series of events allegedly transpired. Prosecutors contend that Lindsay Clancy strangled her own children with exercise bands during the brief time her husband, Patrick, was out fetching dinner. Following this act, in what may have been an attempt at suicide, Clancy is said to have leaped from a second-story window.  In a heart-wrenching scene as described from the court documents, Patrick Clancy found his injured wife outside their home upon his return. In the chilling 911 call he made, Patrick could be heard frantically inquiring of his wife, “Where are the kids?” His subsequent discovery of their fate was grim: She replied, “In the basement.”  Relaying this harrowing 911 recording, Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague remarked on Patrick's discovery: “He can then be heard screaming in agony and shock as he found his children. His screams seem to get louder and more agonized as the time passes.”  While the older children, Cora and Dawson, were declared deceased that very night, young Callan tragically passed away three days later in Boston Children’s Hospital due to complications arising from asphyxia.    During the February arraignment, the courtroom witnessed contrasting representations of Lindsay Clancy's mental health prior to the alleged crimes. Kevin J. Reddington, Clancy’s defense attorney, portrayed her as a loving mother whose mental health had deteriorated notably post the birth of Callan, her youngest. In fact, Clancy had been prescribed an extensive range of psychiatric medications from October 2022 to January 2023. After the incident, Clancy allegedly informed her husband about experiencing a “moment of psychosis” and hearing a voice urging her to harm her children and herself. However, this was contested by prosecutors who cited Patrick Clancy's statement that his wife had never mentioned hearing voices or used the term “psychosis” before.    Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague provided a grim perspective on the matter, alleging Clancy’s actions were calculated. She stated that Lindsay Clancy "gave herself the time and privacy needed to commit the murders, and then she strangled each child in the place where they should have felt the safest: At home with their mom.”  Post these harrowing events, Lindsay Clancy was admitted to the hospital due to her sustained injuries and subsequently committed to Tewksbury Hospital for psychiatric care. As per the latest updates from the DA’s office on Friday, Clancy currently resides in a medical facility, being held without bail.  The community now awaits her arraignment on the latest charges in Plymouth Superior Court. As of this reporting, Boston.com has been in touch with Reddington for his remarks on the updated charges. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed the extradition order for Shanna Gardner-Fernandez, 35, from Washington state to Florida to face charges in a gripping murder plot. Gardner-Fernandez, heir to a multimillion-dollar papercraft business, is accused of orchestrating the execution-style murder of her ex-husband, 33-year-old Microsoft executive, Jared Bridegan.    Jared Bridegan was shot multiple times in an alleged ambush in February 2022 on a secluded Jacksonville Beach road. The incident took place shortly after Bridegan dropped off the twins he shared with Gardner-Fernandez at her residence.    Tragically, the Microsoft senior UX designer was gunned down in the presence of his two-year-old daughter from a subsequent marriage. The chilling act was committed in an area surrounded by dense trees, with no security cameras to record the heinous crime.    “Jared was lured to his death. For the murder to happen in that specific area, it’s clear someone had planned it. There are no cameras or houses there, just trees on a one-way street,” expressed Kirsten, Bridegan's widow, in an interview with DailyMail.com.    The 61-year-old hitman, Danny Tenon, previously a tenant of Gardner-Fernandez's current husband, Mario Fernandez Saldana, admitted to the murder. Tenon disclosed that he had been contracted by Saldana-Fernandez for the crime. After his arrest on unrelated charges, Tenon also revealed his willingness to testify against his alleged co-conspirators.    Gardner-Fernandez, previously of Jacksonville, had shifted about 2,800 miles to the Pacific Northwest, after the incident, an area known for not having the death penalty. Law enforcement officials in Florida have, however, signified their intention to seek the death penalty for her crimes.    Many are closely watching this case, not just for its dramatic elements but due to the political implications with Governor DeSantis' involvement. The Jacksonville State Attorney’s Office confirmed to DailyMail.com that the extradition order had been signed, sidelining an extradition hearing previously scheduled for Gardner-Fernandez.    The charges facing Gardner-Fernandez include first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. Notably, if found guilty, she might be subjected to the death penalty in Florida, where five executions have already been conducted this year.    High-profile criminal defense attorney Hank Coxe, representing Gardner-Fernandez, previously declared intentions to contest the extradition. The warrant for her extradition is currently en route to Benton County, Washington.    Gardner-Fernandez’s association with her new husband, Mario Fernandez Saldana, and the ensuing dramatic transformation in her behavior raised eyebrows among acquaintances. Once known as a straight-laced individual, she evolved into someone significantly bolder, even shocking tattoo parlor staff in 2015 with a request for a genital piercing.    The motivations behind this murder are speculated to revolve around a bitter custody battle over twins Liam and Abby, following the couple's separation in 2015.    Kirsten Bridegan expressed her sentiments regarding Gardner-Fernandez's arrest, stating, “There is satisfaction in knowing that the person I believe was the driving force behind this doesn’t get the privileges that she allegedly took from Jared. I trust the prosecutors to make the best decision for the case, and if that is the death penalty, then we support that.”    The trial for Gardner-Fernandez is set to resume in Florida on October 5th. The case continues to attract significant attention due to its intricate ties of family, betrayal, and the weighty legal consequences involved. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Pennsylvania Court Rules Against Parents of Ellen Greenberg A Pennsylvania court has made a significant ruling regarding the controversial death of Ellen Greenberg in 2011. The 27-year-old woman was found in her Philadelphia apartment with 20 stab wounds. Initially labeled a homicide, the cause of death was later changed to suicide, a decision that left many questions unanswered.  The Background    Ellen Greenberg's lifeless body was discovered in the apartment she shared with her fiancé, Sam Goldberg. The grim scene raised multiple questions. Goldberg told authorities he had left the apartment around 4:45 p.m. for a workout in the building's gym. Upon his return, roughly 45 minutes later, he discovered the apartment's swing bar lock was engaged from inside, preventing entry.    Growing increasingly concerned after failing to establish contact with Ellen via calls and texts, Goldberg attempted to force his way in. When he finally did, he found Ellen seated on the kitchen floor, fully clothed, with a knife protruding from her chest. The nature and location of some of the wounds, particularly a severe laceration to the top of her skull and stab wounds to the rear of her neck and spine, added layers of complexity to the case.    Although Goldberg was questioned by the police, he was released shortly after. An autopsy initially declared the death a homicide. However, in a surprising turn of events, the medical examiner reversed this decision after a meeting with the police, labeling Ellen's wounds as self-inflicted.    Parents Fight for Justice    Disturbed by the sudden change in the cause of death and convinced there was more to the story, Ellen's parents, Joshua and Sandra Greenberg, sought answers. They enlisted a private investigator who declared Ellen's death "strongly suspicious of homicide." This investigator pointed out significant gaps in the police's case, including the lack of records from Goldberg's interrogation and the failure to examine the murder weapon for fingerprints.    Despite their efforts, the Greenbergs' pleas to reopen the case were denied. This denial led them to sue the city’s Medical Examiner’s Office in 2019, seeking to reinstate the original cause of death: homicide.    The Court's Decision and Response    In a recent verdict, the Commonwealth Court sided with the city, ruling that the Greenbergs did not have legal standing to pursue the case. However, in a noteworthy mention, the judges stated they were "acutely aware of the deeply flawed investigation." Their decision elaborated on the pressing need for a detailed review of the investigation, in the hope that justice would eventually prevail for Ellen and her family.    Reacting to the decision, the Greenbergs admitted they were “disappointed but not surprised.” Joshua Greenberg, speaking to the Philadelphia Inquirer, highlighted the unexpected sympathy shown by the judges. He said, “I’m more surprised what they wrote in our favor than they ruled against us totally.” He further added, “It seems like somebody has a conscience here. They may have been judges in the judicial sense, and they didn’t want to change the law, but they definitely feel something is wrong.”    At this stage, it remains unclear if the Greenbergs will escalate the case to the state supreme court.    Conclusion Ellen Greenberg's death remains a tragic and controversial topic that has resonated with many. The recent ruling, while not in favor of her parents, indicates a judicial acknowledgment of potential shortcomings in the initial investigation. As the story continues to unfold, it serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities involved in seeking justice. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A chilling confession has led to the closure of a decades-old cold case in Boston. John Michael Irmer, a 68-year-old man from Oregon, has been extradited to Massachusetts after confessing to the 1979 brutal murder and rape of Susan Marcia Rose, a 24-year-old woman from Pennsylvania.    District Attorney Kevin Hayden announced that Irmer is expected to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court Central Division this coming Monday. The startling revelation came when Irmer voluntarily walked into the Portland FBI field office last month, confessing to a crime that had gone unresolved for nearly 44 years.    Irmer confessed that he met a woman with red hair, now identified as Susan Marcia Rose, at a skating rink in Boston around Halloween 1979. The two ventured into 285 Beacon Street, a building that was under renovation at the time. In a brutal act, Irmer admitted that he seized a hammer within the building and struck Rose on the head, which led to her death. Subsequently, he raped her. After the crime, he hastily fled to New York.    Upon investigating Irmer's claims, authorities found them to align with the case of Susan Marcia Rose. She was discovered dead at the Beacon Street location on October 30, 1979, having suffered multiple blunt injuries to the head, resulting in skull fractures and lacerations to the brain. Crucially, a DNA sample collected from Irmer matched samples preserved from the crime scene, solidifying the connection.    Tragically, Rose, originally from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, had relocated to Boston and was residing on Dartmouth Street at the time of her untimely death. Adding to the complexity of the case, another individual had been previously charged and tried for her murder in 1981, only to be found not guilty.    In an emotional statement, District Attorney Kevin Hayden remarked, “Nearly 44 years after losing her at such a young age, the family and friends of Susan Marcia Rose will finally have some answers. This was a brutal, ice-blooded murder made worse by the fact that a person was charged and tried—and fortunately, found not guilty—while the real murderer remained silent until now. No matter how cold cases get resolved, it’s always the answers that are important for those who have lived with grief and loss and so many agonizing questions.”    Boston Police have also confirmed that there was a standing warrant for Irmer's arrest from Boston Municipal Court. He made his first appearance in court on Monday, Sept. 11, for his arraignment, as reported by Boston.com. During this hearing, a startling twist occurred when Irmer allegedly confessed to another murder in a different state. Following these revelations, he was ordered to be held without bail.    This case stands as a poignant reminder of the impact unresolved crimes have on families and communities. The revelations also emphasize the importance of revisiting cold cases, and the potential for justice, even after many years. The turn of events offers a semblance of closure to the loved ones of Susan Marcia Rose, who have lived with uncertainty and pain for over four decades. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a harrowing turn of events, a vigilant Lyft driver's quick thinking reportedly prevented what could have been a tragic outcome in Chicago. As distressing details surface about the incident, the importance of following one's instincts, even in seemingly routine situations, comes to the fore. Jeremiah Campbell, 29, found himself in the midst of a controversy when a Lyft driver, transporting him and his two-year-old son to an address on South Shore Drive, dialed 911. The driver had overheard Campbell utter disturbing remarks about intending to drown his son as a sacrifice to Jehovah. On that very night, an anonymous call was made from the South Shore Drive residence, reporting a child having drowned in a bathtub. This led the Chicago Police Department (CPD) to the scene promptly. Upon their arrival, their attempts to get a response by knocking went unanswered. However, a glance through the window revealed a concerning sight: a man, later identified as Campbell, making suspicious movements over the bathtub. Relying on the information from the Lyft driver and the subsequent call, CPD officers believed they were witnessing a potential drowning in progress. Their immediate decision to intervene was pivotal. They forced their way inside, prompting Campbell to hastily remove the child from the water. The toddler, drenched and coughing, was quickly handed over to the paramedics, who transported him to a nearby hospital. Meanwhile, Campbell was detained and also sent for a mental health evaluation. Tonya, a witness to the events that night, described the situation as "awful." The haunting scene reminded her of her own grandson, reinforcing the gravity of what could have been a devastating tragedy. Campbell is no stranger to the law. Court records reveal his previous conviction in a 2021 case where he was found guilty of aggravated battery resulting in significant bodily harm and domestic battery leading to bodily harm. As a result, he was handed a 36-month probation sentence in November 2021. Furthermore, he had violated a protection order which barred him from contacting the victim, his child's mother, and other family members. He is currently being held without bail at the Cook County Jail. Local resident Chris Beasley expressed his shock upon hearing the allegations. As a father, he found it difficult to fathom such a horrifying act. He, along with several others interviewed by WGN-TV, commended the Lyft driver for his timely action. Beasley emphasized the importance of speaking out even if one might be unsure, "It’s better to say something and nothing's behind it, than to not say something and something bad happens." Lyft's response to the incident was swift and supportive. In a statement released to WGN-TV, a spokesperson praised the driver's prompt action, saying, "We applaud the quick thinking and courage of the Lyft driver who reported the suspicious rider behavior to the authorities." Lyft has since permanently removed Campbell's account from their platform and has offered their cooperation in the ongoing investigation. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the unforeseen dangers that can lurk in everyday situations. The Lyft driver's instinctive response undeniably saved a young boy from impending danger. As the story unfolds, it underscores the value of vigilance, intuition, and the power of taking swift action when something feels amiss.

Danelo Cavalcante, a fugitive who had escaped from custody, was successfully captured after nearly two weeks on the run.  The escapee had fled Chester County Prison on August 31, mere days after receiving a life sentence for the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend, Deborah Brandao, aged 33. Additionally, he is wanted in connection with a 2017 murder case in Brazil. Law enforcement agencies utilized thermal imaging technology to track him down, and tactical teams swiftly closed in on him around 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning, capitalizing on the element of surprise, as revealed during a police press conference.  Cavalcante was discovered asleep, rifle in hand, as law enforcement located him. Caught off guard, he attempted to evade capture by maneuvering through dense underbrush with the firearm, as described by Bivens. To halt his escape, a police dog was deployed, and it successfully apprehended him. This marked the abrupt conclusion of a dramatic and perilous manhunt that spanned a wide area of Chester County and left several communities on edge. Bivens emphasized the vital role played by the police dog in preventing Cavalcante from utilizing the rifle he had in his possession. During the encounter, Cavalcante grappled with the dog, resulting in a scalp injury for him. Fortunately, there were no other injuries reported during the apprehension, according to Bivens. A state police spokesperson stated that Cavalcante would remain in the custody of state police for an extended period, undergoing a medical evaluation. Subsequently, he will be transferred to a state correctional institution to serve his life sentence, as confirmed by Bivens. Cavalcante's escape initiated an extensive manhunt, with multiple instances of him successfully evading authorities by altering his appearance. On Tuesday, officials disclosed that he had broken into a garage and stolen a firearm. In an interview with The New York Times, Cavalcante's mother, Iracema Cavalcante, defended her son's actions, asserting that he killed Brandao after she allegedly threatened to inform American authorities about his status as a fugitive wanted by Brazilian police.

A startling revelation unfolded when a patient in a Wisconsin hospital confessed to a nurse that he had committed a murder nearly four decades ago, as documented in the City of Madison police call logs. At 8:01 pm, a nurse at a local hospital contacted police to report that a patient told her he was the suspect in an unsolved murder case from nearly 40 years ago in another county," as detailed in the Madison police blotter. "Officers relayed this information to the appropriate authorities." The victim in this long-standing mystery is believed to be Terry Dolowy, a 24-year-old finance student at the University of Wisconsin who vanished on Valentine's Day in 1985. WKOW, a local news outlet, interviewed the lead investigator, Scott Bjerkos of the Vernon County Sheriff's Office, who has been dedicated to the case for the past 25 years. Bjerkos acknowledged the patient's alleged confession but stressed that more corroborative evidence is needed to proceed. "You have to corroborate the information that he or any individual, where I'm able to link him to her death," Bjerkos told WKOW. He mentioned that the patient had connections as a farmer and a friend of the victim's fiancé at the time but did not provide further details or disclose the patient's identity. The specifics of what the hospital patient divulged to the nurse and the motive behind the alleged confession remain undisclosed. Efforts to obtain additional information from Bjerkos, Madison police, and the Vernon County Sheriff's Office have been met with silence, as the investigation is declared "active." Terry Dolowy's cold case is marked by its enigmatic and gruesome nature. Four days after her fiancé, Russell "Whitey" Lee, reported her disappearance, investigators from the Vernon County Sheriff's Office discovered her decapitated and charred remains in response to a call regarding a burning body. Her head and her dog were never recovered. The last known sighting of Dolowy was around 12:30 a.m. on February 14, 1985, at her trailer home near Barre Mills, Wisconsin. She had just returned home from her job as a bar manager at Piggy's restaurant in La Crosse before vanishing. Notably, she left behind her purse and personal items, had no access to her car, and her dog was also missing, as documented in Vernon County Sheriff's summary notes on the case. These notes also mentioned that Dolowy had confided in friends about her decision not to marry Lee, primarily due to his rumored gambling and potential drug issues, which had strained their relationship. Despite the absence of any direct evidence pointing to her fiancé, DNA found on her remains cleared him as a suspect. The only significant evidence was a paint chip from a vehicle discovered in a sheet wrapped around the victim. Nevertheless, investigators narrowed down the possibilities to a range of vehicle models from various manufacturers. The paint chip was believed to have originated from the trunk of a vehicle used to transport the victim's body, as per the sheriff's office's notes. The records and reports related to this baffling case were digitized in 2003, and they encompassed every report generated during the investigation, creating a digital repository of the cold case's complex history.

In a distressing incident that unfolded in November 2022 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, an 11-year-old boy is set to stand trial for allegedly shooting his mother in the face, reportedly due to her refusal to purchase a virtual reality headset for him. The identity of the boy remains undisclosed. Following an evaluation by two psychologists, one of whom questioned the child's understanding of the crime and charges against him, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Jane Carroll made the controversial decision to charge him as an adult. Despite concerns raised by the boy's attorney about his ability to advocate for himself, Judge Carroll determined that the child did not have a "major mental diagnosis" that would impede his trial as an adult. According to a criminal complaint, the boy is accused of fatally shooting his mother, Quiana Mann, aged 44, in the eye at their Milwaukee home on November 21, 2022. He allegedly attempted to hide the weapon and then informed his older sister of their mother's death, prompting her to call 911. The boy reportedly accessed his deceased mother's Amazon account the following day to purchase the Oculus Virtual Reality Headset. Initially, the child claimed the shooting had been accidental, allowing him to remain with his family. However, doubts arose within the family, leading to the boy confessing to his aunt that he had intentionally aimed the gun at his mother.  As outlined in the complaint, the child's family informed detectives of a history of "anger-related problems" that persisted throughout his life. The document additionally recounted an incident from when he was four years old, alleging that the boy swung a puppy by its tail until the dog emitted distressing cries of pain. Moreover, it claimed that he ignited a fire within the family's residence by inflating a balloon with a flammable substance and setting it ablaze. A therapist had reportedly diagnosed the boy with a "concerning diagnosis," prompting Mann to install cameras in their home, although they were unplugged at the time of the shooting. The child's grandmother, Lueritha Mann, disclosed that he had mentioned hearing voices, and the family had attempted to seek help for his apparent mental illness. Quiana Mann, who worked in behavioral health and had four children, was remembered as a generous and deeply religious individual. A GoFundMe account described her as having a "spirit of giving" and an unwavering "love for God."  The 11-year-old boy is facing charges of first-degree reckless homicide and was previously in custody with a $50,000 bond. If found guilty, he could potentially face up to 60 years in prison. Milwaukee police continue to investigate the tragic incident and emphasize the importance of securing firearms to prevent such occurrences.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Renowned YouTube personality Ruby Franke and her business associate, Jodi Hildebrandt, are entangled in a distressing situation, as both have encountered health complications during their incarceration. Their legal woes began on August 30 when they were arrested on serious charges of felony child abuse, shedding an unsettling light on Franke, who had garnered fame through her "8 Passengers" YouTube vlog. Hildebrandt, aged 54, and Franke, aged 41, are currently facing multiple counts of felony child abuse. Recently, the two women made virtual appearances before a judge, albeit facing technical hiccups caused by an overload of the court's WebEx system. Subsequently, they were ordered to be held without bail, temporarily placed in the confines of the Purgatory Correctional Facility in Southern Utah. A pivotal review hearing has been scheduled for Thursday, September 21. Following this hearing, Hildebrandt's legal representative filed a motion, requesting an expedited detention hearing to ascertain whether she would remain incarcerated or be granted bail. The motion cited a "life-threatening medical issue" that led to her hospitalization for an extended period. Intriguingly, details surrounding the nature of her ailment remain undisclosed, leaving uncertainty about whether Hildebrandt received medical care at a nearby hospital or within the correctional facility. Hildebrandt's attorney further petitioned for a "special setting" with the judge on September 14 to discuss her continued detention. Meanwhile, Ruby Franke also faced apparent health complications of her own. Official documents revealed that she was relocated from her initial holding cell, where she had been participating in the remote proceedings scheduled for Friday, to a medical block within the jail. However, specifics regarding the reasons behind this transfer remain shrouded in mystery. Notably, Hildebrandt founded ConneXions, a counseling service specializing in relationships and business, based in Utah. Both women frequently appeared in videos on the company's YouTube page, addressing topics related to parenting, mental health, and interpersonal relationships. The arrest stemmed from an alarming incident where Franke's 12-year-old child sought food and water from a neighbor while staying at Hildebrandt's residence in Ivins, Utah. Witnesses reported that the boy appeared "emaciated" and displayed signs of being restrained with duct tape. In response, law enforcement intervened, dispatching the boy and a 10-year-old sibling to the hospital, where medical professionals diagnosed severe malnourishment. Simultaneously, two other children residing at Franke's Springville home were taken into the custody of the Utah Division of Child and Family Services, intensifying the gravity of the situation.

A boy who committed a horrifying act by murdering five members of his family, including an infant and two young children, has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The judge characterized the crime as "draped in unmitigated evil." Mason, who was just 14 years old at the time, fatally shot each family member in the head at their Elkmont home. The victims were John Wayne Sisk, 38, his wife Mary Sisk, 35, and their children: 6-year-old Grayson, 4-year-old Aurora, and 6-month-old Colson. Initially, Mason claimed that he was playing video games in the basement on September 2, 2019, when he heard gunshots and saw a car driving away. However, he later confessed to the murders, providing detectives with a potential motive during a preliminary hearing. Now 18 years old, Mason received his sentence after an Alabama jury found him guilty in April of multiple charges of capital murder for the 2019 slayings of his father, stepmother, and three younger siblings. Due to his age at the time of the crimes, Mason was spared the death penalty. Circuit Judge Chadwick Wise deemed Mason's offense as "ghastly, disturbing, and draped in unmitigated evil," justifying the harshest punishment allowed by law. Mason showed no clear reaction to the sentence and did not make a statement in court. Following the judgment, Brian C.T. Jones, the district attorney for Limestone County, issued a written statement to the media, expressing deep concern about the defendant, stating, "I've prosecuted a lot of people in my career, and I can tell you that out of all of those people, only four out of five people scare the hell out of me, and he's at the top of my list."

Stacy Cole and Carol Hughes discuss a horrific accident with a weird twist.  A Manteca man is facing a murder charge after police say he drove his semi-truck on a deadly collision course in Parker, Arizona. Parker police confirm that 28-year-old Karan Singh is from Manteca and that after that fiery crash, Singh walked away from the scene and ordered lunch for himself.  Surveillance video shows the moment of impact: the semi-truck barreling into (at high speed) and running right over three vehicles stopped at a red light. The victims inside likely never saw what hit them. The crash left one person dead and several seriously hurt.  "I've never seen anything so devastating," Halie Jackson said.  Jackson shot a video of the crash aftermath, showing the semi-truck bursting into flames with thick smoke rising high above the wreckage. Singh is now facing second-degree murder charges as well as eight counts of aggravated assault. Investigators are waiting for toxicology reports to show whether he was impaired at the time of the crash. Signage on the cargo of the trailer he was hauling reads "RTL Carrier, Incorporated," a trucking company based in Manteca. A search of the company's federal safety records shows it has 36 drivers -- and up until this weekend, had 4 reported crashes; two with injuries and none fatal. Singh made his first court appearance in Arizona on Tuesday. He is being held on $1 million bail.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Stacy Cole and Carol Hughes discuss new developments in the Murdaugh case in today’s episode of Murder in the Morning. Alex Murdaugh's attorney, Jim Griffin, expressed strong frustration and shock in response to allegations of jury tampering against court clerk Rebecca Hill, whom he once considered a friend. Griffin appeared on "The Story" shortly after filing a motion for a new trial, claiming that Hill had influenced the jury to reach a guilty verdict in the high-profile double murder case. He described the jurors' accounts of Hill's behavior as astonishing and revealed that Alex was extremely angry and surprised by the revelations about her conduct. The motion cited newly discovered evidence obtained from conversations with jurors, alleging that Hill had pushed for a swift verdict, had private discussions with the jury foreperson, and manipulated the removal of a sympathetic juror. Hill's actions, including her book release, prompted jurors to raise concerns. Griffin clarified that they had requested a federal investigation into Hill's alleged misconduct and sought to move the case to a trial court for a new trial. Despite his conviction, Alex Murdaugh maintained his innocence, supported by his son Buster, who was interviewed in a Fox Nation docuseries. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Rebecca "Becky" Hill, the court clerk accused of tampering with the jury in the Alex Murdaugh double murder trial, has hired two high-profile attorneys, including State Rep Justin Bamberg and former assistant US attorney Will Lewis, to represent her. The allegations against Hill, detailed in a motion by Alex Murdaugh's defense team seeking a new trial, claim that she interfered with the jury due to a desire for fame and a book deal. The motion accuses Hill of misconduct, including one-on-one conversations with jurors, delaying cigarette breaks for smokers, and providing jurors with reporters' business cards. If these allegations are proven true, it could potentially lead to a new trial for Murdaugh. An evidentiary hearing is expected to take place to examine the evidence. As of now, Hill does not face any criminal charges. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Rebecca Hill, an elected clerk of the court, now stands accused of egregious misconduct during a high-profile trial. Could the pursuit of fame have compromised justice? The renowned "Murder In the Morning" podcast dives deep, unearthing shocking details.    In a recent episode of the popular podcast "Murder In the Morning", hosts Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole pulled back the curtain on a scandal that's shaken the very foundation of the legal system. As they unraveled the web of allegations against Rebecca Hill, the implications for the trial in question - and the justice system at large - became disturbingly clear.    "When the jury began deliberating that evening, Ms. Hill told them this shouldn't take us long," Brueski recollected. Hill's subtle coercion of the jury, hinting at a hastened deliberation process, raised immediate red flags for the hosts. "It's almost kind of a veiled threat," Brueski commented, likening it to a passive-aggressive tactic to pressure the jury.    Moreover, Hill's authoritative stance didn't just end there. Throughout the six-week trial, the smokers in the jury had the liberty to take their regular smoke breaks. However, Hill, in a sudden turn, declared they couldn't until a decision was reached. Cole reacted with disbelief, comparing it to telling a child they cannot leave the table without finishing dinner.    Yet, the discussion reached its pinnacle when Brueski revealed Hill's actions that extended beyond the courtroom. She seemed to be grooming the jury for fame post-trial, even going so far as to distribute reporters' business cards. One juror, described as Juror #578, took these insinuations to heart, appearing on "Good Morning America" shortly after the verdict was declared.    "Ms. Hill told jurors that after the trial they would be famous and predict that the media would request interviews with them," Cole stated. The promise of media attention clearly had an effect, evident from the unusually formal attire of the previously mentioned juror. The anticipation of a spotlight may have unconsciously biased the juror's deliberations.    Stacy Cole further delved into the post-verdict scenario, noting Hill's persistent efforts to keep the spotlight burning. Following the verdict, Hill not only convinced the jurors to speak en masse to a network news show but also accompanied them. "She got her book deal," Cole revealed with a tinge of sarcasm. Hill's book, "Behind the Doors of Justice", although dubbed a "book deal", was independently published.    In an intriguing segment of their discussion, the podcast hosts touched upon Hill's attempts to gain both financially and in terms of publicity from a documentary. A film crew, scheduled to record at the Colton County Courthouse, had their contract unexpectedly revised by Hill post her interview. Tony Brueski detailed the addendum, which bizarrely demanded promotional airtime for her book and a fee from the crew. "She's trying to negotiate... in a very 'I've never done this before in my life' way," Brueski observed.    However, the most damning piece of evidence might just be Hill's own book. Brueski mentioned that the court now possesses ample evidence, including juror affidavits, their interviews, and details from Hill's publication. The revelations point toward a significant possibility of misconduct, which, if proven, may lead to a retrial.    Towards the end of their conversation, both hosts indulged in a bit of speculative fun, guessing when the next trial might be. "I'm gonna go with fall of 2024," wagered Brueski, while Cole optimistically predicted spring, particularly March of the same year.    Cole wrapped up the episode with a somber reflection, "These processes are not fast at all... there's a lot of motions that need to be filed... but who knows?"    In the wake of this episode, the true weight of the allegations against Rebecca Hill has resonated with many. The justice system is built on trust, and when individuals in positions of power show signs of compromising that trust, the ramifications are profound. As Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole highlighted, the pursuit of personal gains and fame can pose a real threat to the core tenets of justice.    As followers of the trial and podcast listeners await further developments, one thing remains certain: transparency and integrity are paramount, and they must be upheld even in the face of scandal.

Recent episodes of the riveting podcast "Murder in the Morning" with Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole have delved deep into the shocking developments surrounding the Alec Murdaugh case. With claims of jury tampering, concealed evidence, and a trial filled with twists and turns, the latest revelations may just turn the entire case on its head.    The Alec Murdaugh Scandal: Behind the Curtains of Justice    In the aftermath of the six-week trial that concluded on March 2nd, 2023, the Murdaugh case seemed relatively straightforward. Yet, recent episodes of "Murder in the Morning" reveal a web of deceit that casts shadows on the integrity of the judicial process. Hosts Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole shared damning evidence that suggests potential misconduct and bias in the courtroom.    "The defense began its case on Friday, February 17th, 2023," Brueski stated, highlighting the timeline of events. Curiously, the court was not held on February 20th, due to President's Day, and that's when things began to get murky. "After returning from the holiday, Ms. Hill began to enter the jury rooms often," Brueski continued, emphasizing the odd behavior of a key player in the trial.    Stacy Cole, in her signature analytical style, commented on the alleged influence of Ms. Hill on the jury, "As the defense began its case, Ms. Hill told jurors, y'all are gonna hear things that will throw you off. Don't let this distract you or mislead you." This, she mentioned, was confirmed by an affidavit from Holly Miller, a juror. Furthermore, the relationship between Ms. Hill and juror number 286, the new jury foreperson, raised eyebrows. The two were reportedly having private conversations, the content of which was never shared with other jurors.    One of the most chilling comments made by Brueski revolved around Alec Murdaugh's testimony: "Right before Alec went to take the stand, she goes to the jurors and says not to be fooled by the evidence Mr. Murtaugh's attorneys presented," a move that he called "fucking damning." This stark revelation was followed by another, where Ms. Hill allegedly instructed jurors to meticulously observe Murdaugh, indirectly implying his guilt.    But what was perhaps the most shocking twist of all was the discovery of a Facebook post. Ms. Hill claimed to have seen a post by Tim Stone, ex-husband of juror number 785, stating his ex-wife's alleged verdict intentions. "She could not produce a copy," said Cole, adding that a supposed apology post followed it. Yet, after investigations, it was found that the real Tim Stone never made such a post. The genuine post was made by an unrelated individual also named Tim Stone, leading to a grave misidentification.    The hosts didn't shy away from criticizing the evident misconduct in the trial. "He may be guilty as shit, but you can't run a trial like this. Not in America," Brueski passionately voiced, emphasizing the sanctity of the judicial process. Cole concurred, underscoring the importance of principles in the justice system, "Despite all the things that go wrong in our legal system... if we know for a fact that someone is tainting this and purposely trying to change verdicts, it needs to be redone."    The sheer gravity of the allegations has led many to question the validity of the entire trial, and whether Alec Murdaugh was indeed served justice. As the hosts of "Murder in the Morning" concluded their discussion, listeners were left with more questions than answers. Brueski aptly summed it up, "This is about the rule of law and how we function and what we say is right and what is wrong."    As this legal rollercoaster continues to unfold, listeners eagerly await the next episode, where Brueski and Cole will undoubtedly delve deeper into the shadowy corners of this perplexing case. Whatever the outcome, the revelations have firmly positioned the Murdaugh case in the annals of America's most controversial trials. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Following the life imprisonment sentence handed down in July, Lori Vallow Daybell's defense is not standing down. Her attorney, Jim Archibald, recently filed an appeal, imploring the Idaho Supreme Court to reevaluate her case, the guilty verdict, and the pronounced sentence. Lori Vallow Daybell was handed a life imprisonment verdict, without the possibility of parole, for the heinous act of killing her two children, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan. The charges further expanded to a conspiracy plot to murder Tammy Daybell, the previous wife of her fifth husband. Detailed in the notice of appeal presented on Thursday, Archibald delineated 16 significant issues he believes warrant the Supreme Court's attention: The pivotal question of whether District Judge Steven Boyce made an error in pronouncing Daybell fit for trial, despite her spending a considerable 10 months in a mental institution. The contentious decision of Judge Boyce to decline Archibald’s appeal to send Daybell back to the mental institution for further evaluation, instead of proceeding to trial. Archibald also raises concerns about Daybell's constitutional rights to a speedy trial potentially being violated, particularly due to the prosecutor's numerous requests for postponements. Another point of contention is whether Judge Boyce erred in permitting the presentation of evidence from the ongoing Arizona case. This case concerns the alleged crimes surrounding the death of Charles Vallow, Daybell's fourth husband, and the purported attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux, previously married into Daybell's family. The appeal also questions the discretion of Judge Boyce regarding Daybell’s sentence—three consecutive life terms without parole. The court's decision ordering Daybell to pay a whopping $165,018 in fines and court charges, despite her evident indigence and dependence on public defense, is also under scrutiny. Furthermore, Archibald has tabled a request for the appointment of appellate public defenders to oversee the appeal segment of Daybell's case. It is customary for felony convictions, particularly those involving murder charges, to be appealed. Such appeals must be presented within 42 days of the sentencing. Preparations are now underway for the Supreme Court to receive a transcript of Daybell's trial. Archibald, being meticulous in his pursuit of justice for his client, is also in the process of acquiring transcripts from Daybell’s previous competency evaluations, the preliminary hearings leading up to the trial, and the sentencing proceedings. However, this appellate process is notorious for its lengthy duration, often spanning several years. In the upcoming phase, the Idaho attorney general will assign a representative for the prosecution. This attorney, in tandem with the defense's appellate lawyer, will draft written briefs. It is also anticipated that both parties will present oral arguments before the state Supreme Court finalizes its judgment. There's a potential hiccup in Daybell's appellate case trajectory. The state of Arizona is gearing up to extradite her, pressing charges of conspiracy to commit Charles Vallow’s murder and the alleged attempt on Brandon Boudreaux’s life. Barely a month has passed since Daybell's confinement in the Pocatello Women’s Correctional Center. Meanwhile, the trial of Chad Daybell, Lori's husband, is on the horizon, set to commence on April 1 in Ada County. While the wheels of justice are in motion, this case serves as a reminder of the intricate dance between the justice system, victims' rights, and the accused's rights. The outcome of this appeal, especially given its high-profile nature, will be closely watched by many across the state and the nation. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Alex Murdaugh, a once-reputed South Carolina lawyer, recently convicted for the murders of his wife and son, is vying to have his conviction overturned. New legal documents submitted by his defense team suggest that there was jury tampering orchestrated by the local clerk of court.    Murdaugh, aged 55, was handed two life sentences this March following the tragic 2021 killings of his wife, Maggie, 52, and son, Paul, 22. But the tale took a twist as his attorneys swiftly filed an appeal against his convictions. At the heart of this appeal lies the accusation directed at Rebecca Hill, the Colleton County Clerk of Court. The defense attorneys, Richard Harpootlian and James Griffin, have put forth allegations stating that Hill manipulated the jury. She's accused of casting doubt on Murdaugh's testimony, pressing them for a swift guilty verdict, and purportedly providing misleading details to the trial judge, especially when she aimed to dismiss a juror perceived as sympathetic to the defense.    Digging deeper into the allegations, the defense attorneys assert that Hill's repeated references to Murdaugh were designed to paint him as guilty. They have also raised concerns about her motives. They claim, "Ms. Hill did these things to secure for herself a book deal and media appearances that would not happen in the event of a mistrial. She betrayed her oath of office for personal gains." This accusation gains traction given that Hill released a book titled Behind the Doors of Justice: The Murdaugh Murders in late July.    In Murdaugh’s trial, the jury took less than three hours to pronounce him guilty of the heinous crime, where he shot his wife and son at their South Carolina estate. Several jurors subsequently came forward to discuss the evidence that influenced their decision. Amie Williams, one of the jurors, mentioned on the Today show, "The witness testimony was compelling, and the kennel video was a pivotal piece of evidence." The video she referred to confirmed that Murdaugh was at the dog kennels when the murders took place, contradicting his prior claims.    Another juror, Gwen Generette, shared her disbelief when Murdaugh took the stand. For her, hearing his voice confirmed that he was the person in the dog kennel footage, which tragically was filmed by his son Paul shortly before his death. This video played a significant role in the prosecution's strategy, given Murdaugh's initial denial of his presence at the crime scene.    The gruesome details reveal that Paul was shot at close range, while Maggie faced multiple shots from an AR-style rifle, with a telling shot in the back. Amidst the overwhelming evidence, Murdaugh later confessed on the stand to lying about his whereabouts during the crime, expressing deep remorse.    Juror Craig Moyer, recalling the deliberations on Good Morning America, said initially nine out of the twelve jury members were convinced of Murdaugh’s guilt. Upon further analysis of the case's evidence, the remaining three jurors concurred, resulting in a unanimous guilty verdict. This decision is now being contested by Murdaugh’s legal team.    Reacting to the recent developments, Murdaugh’s attorneys communicated to PEOPLE, “The serious allegations in the petition filed today speak for themselves but we believe they explain a number of peculiarities in the six-week trial.” They further reiterated, “Alex Murdaugh maintained and still maintains his innocence of the murder of Maggie and Paul and he believes the truth will ultimately prevail."    With these recent allegations of jury tampering, the Murdaugh case adds another layer of complexity and intrigue, keeping the nation closely watching.

California equestrian, Tatyana Remley, is currently behind bars after allegedly attempting multiple times to hire hitmen to kill her estranged husband, Mark Remley. According to a statement from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, Remley is charged with solicitation of murder and two weapons charges. She is currently being held without bail at the Las Colinas Detention Facility in Santee, California, and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.    The Investigation    The Sheriff's Department launched an investigation into Remley’s suspicious activities following a house fire at the ranch owned by the couple in Del Mar, California. Mark Remley claimed to The Coast News that Tatyana intentionally set fire to their home after he allegedly discovered her plan to kill him in early July. However, in the divorce papers filed in July, Tatyana stated that she and a friend were present at the time of the fire but were unaware of its origin.    Mark also claimed that Tatyana offered a mutual friend $2 million to kill him. However, the friend declined the offer and informed Mark, who then reported the incident to the police, instigating a sting operation. The Sheriff’s office confirmed that they summoned an arson unit to the fire scene, and Tatyana was initially arrested for alleged "firearms-related offenses" after officers discovered three firearms and ammunition on her. Following this, an investigation into her alleged murder-for-hire plot commenced after receiving information about her intentions.    The Sting Operation    A month after the initial investigation began, Tatyana met with an undercover officer, believing him to be a hitman. According to the Sheriff's Department, "She provided detailed information on how she wanted her husband killed and his body disposed." Additionally, Tatyana brought three firearms and US currency as a down payment for the murder. The meetup and subsequent arrest occurred at a local Starbucks, as reported by The Coast News.    A History of Turmoil    The Coast News has extensively reported on the Remleys' high-profile business failures. In 2012, the couple ran a short-lived equestrian acrobatics show, which they discontinued after only four shows and over $100,000 of investments. They claimed the show was canceled due to poor ticket sales. However, this decision left dozens of performers unpaid and stranded, along with their horses. Some crew members stated that they had uprooted their lives to travel across the country and join the production, initially planned as a five-city tour.    The Remleys married in 2011, and their relationship has reportedly been tumultuous in recent years, marked by numerous separations and reconciliations.    Upcoming Court Appearance    Tatyana Remley's next court appearance is scheduled for October 16. As she awaits her day in court, the shocking allegations against her have left the community stunned, raising questions about the extent of the troubles between the Remleys and what led to this drastic turn of events.    Conclusion    The arrest of Tatyana Remley for allegedly attempting to hire hitmen to murder her estranged husband has sent shockwaves through the community. With a history of business failures, a tumultuous relationship, and now charges of solicitation of murder and weapons offenses, the saga of the Remleys' relationship seems far from over. As Tatyana prepares for her upcoming court appearance, many questions remain unanswered about what led to this dark chapter in their lives. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The murder of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh in 2021 has been a tale that grasped the attention of the nation. The tragic deaths at their hunting estate in South Carolina Lowcountry were not only widely publicized but have been the topic of many television specials and documentaries. The most recent, “Fall of the House of Murdaugh,” released on Fox Nation, has now stirred the pot by featuring an interview with Buster Murdaugh, the son and brother of the deceased.    In a startling revelation, Buster Murdaugh declared that despite his father, Alex Murdaugh, being convicted for the murders, he believes in his father’s innocence. This was Buster’s first interview, although he did testify during his father’s trial. The three-part documentary relied heavily on the broadcast of the trial, video evidence from the investigation, and family photos and videos. During the interview, Buster remained stoic until the end, when he discussed the fond memories of his mother, which he clings to for strength. “Holding onto that is what I do to see me through,” he expressed.    Buster detailed his close relationship with his mother and shared that his brother, Paul, was closer to their father. Despite the convictions and the tumultuous media storm, he described his parents’ relationship as loving. When asked by host Martha MacCallum if he thinks it's possible his father is guilty, he adamantly stated, “No,” adding, “because I think that I hold a very unique perspective that nobody else in that courtroom ever held. And I know the love that I have witnessed.”    Alex Murdaugh’s defense, and now his son, have criticized the police for rushing to judgment due to pressure to name a suspect. “I think it’s one of those things where you have to do something,” Buster said. “And I think that it was — and that’s the option and the route that they decided to go with. There are always two sides of the story.” Despite this, it took more than a year for Alex Murdaugh to be charged in the case. Buster argues that many questions remain unanswered and that the real killer is still at large, which makes him fear for his safety. He hypothesizes that the murderer was seeking revenge on Paul Murdaugh for the 2019 boat crash that led to the death of friend Mallory Beach.    Alex Murdaugh, who was sentenced to two life terms and is currently held in an undisclosed prison in South Carolina, had contacted Buster soon after discovering the bodies of his wife and son. Recounting the painful memory, Buster shared, “I walked inside and I saw him, and it was utter silence. It was a — it was a big embrace. He immediately broke down crying. I started crying, and that was what that was. I mean, it’s difficult to relive these — these — these tough circumstances.”    Throughout the trial, Alex Murdaugh maintained his innocence. An excerpt from his journal, read during the documentary, revealed his mental state during the trial, “I am ready” and proclaimed his innocence. He confessed he could not erase the images of his dead wife and son from his mind. In another entry after his conviction, he mentioned his intention to hold his “head high, shoulders back,” refusing to give satisfaction to those who hate him by appearing defeated.    The documentary featured other prominent figures, including defense attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, lead prosecutor Creighton Waters, Attorney General Alan Wilson, and the prosecution’s forensic expert Kenneth Kinsey. Yet, despite all the evidence and testimonies, Buster Murdaugh remains convinced of his father’s innocence, while Alex Murdaugh tries to survive his life sentences, holding onto the belief that he would not have been convicted if he hadn’t lied about not being at the dog kennels that night. The truth remains a mystery, leaving a family torn apart and a nation engrossed in the drama of the fall of the House of Murdaugh. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a deeply tragic turn of events, two parents and their two children were found dead in their home in Allen, Texas, in what appears to be a murder-suicide. This incident occurred just a few weeks after the family's 4-year-old daughter, Lyian Sherwani, tragically drowned in a swimming pool. Allen Police were called to the residence after a neighbor, who was locked out of the house for two hours, was unable to reach anyone inside and became concerned for their welfare.    The Islamic Association of Allen announced in a newsletter that a prayer vigil would be held for the Sherwani family, identified as Farman Sherwani, his wife Layla Sherwani, and their sons Shaheen, 12, and Mateen, 2. The newsletter expressed deep sadness, stating, “We are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of 4 family members.” A member of the association also told NBC News, “Waking up to the news of losing a four-member family all of a sudden is not something anyone can be prepared for.”    Allen Police Sgt. Jonathan Maness confirmed to PEOPLE that the drowning of the girl is believed to be a factor in the incident, but was unable to confirm the shooter at this time. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are committed to conducting a thorough investigation into the incident.    Neighbors were shocked and saddened by the news. Jacqueline Soto, a neighbor, told Fox 4 News that the family member who couldn't gain access to the home was a grandmother. "She was just really distraught," said Soto. Another neighbor told NBC News, "It was just really sad and really hard. I think all of us kind of just felt for the family as we were watching them mourn in the front yard.”    The tragic drowning of Lyian Sherwani just three weeks prior to this incident has left the community reeling. The loss of a child is incredibly painful, and it is believed to have played a role in the subsequent tragedy that befell the Sherwani family.    This series of events underscores the importance of mental health support for those grieving the loss of a loved one. It is crucial that individuals experiencing such trauma receive adequate support to help them navigate through their grief and pain.    As the investigation continues, the community is coming together to support one another and remember the Sherwani family. The Islamic Association of Allen, along with friends, neighbors, and the wider community, are mourning the loss of this family and seeking to understand how such a tragedy could occur.    In conclusion, the tragic deaths of the Sherwani family highlight the importance of providing support to those experiencing grief and trauma. It is a stark reminder that we must come together as a community to support one another in times of need. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and it is hoped that it will provide some answers to the many questions surrounding this deeply sad and unfortunate series of events.

Leannah Jean Gardipe, a 35-year-old Montana woman, has recently pleaded guilty to the deliberate homicide of her two young children, aged 3 and 5. Gardipe, arrested and booked into the Missoula County Jail, asserted during her plea that she "saved her babies" by killing them. The sentencing is scheduled for 10 a.m. on November 20, and according to the plea agreement, the prosecutors will recommend consecutive life terms on two counts of deliberate homicide. Additionally, Gardipe is required to pay court fees amounting to $1,050.    The tragic incident occurred on November 19, 2021, when the defendant’s mother contacted 911 after receiving a call from Gardipe, who claimed to have “saved” her 3-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son. The children's grandmother, alarmed by the implications of the call, questioned Gardipe if this meant she had killed the children, Jane and John Doe, which led to Gardipe breaking down in tears. Following this conversation, Gardipe called 911 herself to "report a murder" and mentioned that her mother should also be calling.    Gardipe disclosed to the officials that she had stabbed her children that morning on her bed using a knife. She also requested medical help as she heard one of her children making noises. During the call, she expressed, “I was supposed to die today.” When the deputies arrived at her residence, Gardipe momentarily left her home but subsequently returned inside and locked the door. Despite the dispatcher’s assurances that the deputies were there to help, Gardipe responded, “No, they are not, not for what I did.”    Upon entering the residence, the deputies discovered the children in a bedroom, tucked into bedsheets, with lacerations on their throats, and defensive wounds on their hands and fingers. A medical examination later confirmed the children’s deaths. Additionally, a bloody serrated steak knife was found under the bed, and a pool of blood was discovered in the 3-year-old girl’s bedroom. A chilling note found at the threshold of the bedroom read, “[i]t was the only way that we all wouldn’t burn, now I’m the only one of us that will.”    The children's father had previously expressed concerns about Gardipe’s mental health to local outlet Montana Right Now. He reported an incident where Gardipe, during a mental health episode, visited an emergency room claiming she was harming her children. However, she later retracted this statement, attributing it to her mental health challenges. Subsequently, Child Protective Services granted the children's father temporary custody, while Gardipe underwent weekly therapy, regularly consulted her doctor, and completed a three-week program at the Pathways Treatment Center in Kalispell. Despite these efforts, a court eventually awarded Gardipe primary custody of the children, granting their father visitation rights every Wednesday and two weekends a month.    This tragic case highlights the urgent need for improved mental health support and more thorough evaluations in child custody cases. It is a stark reminder that mental health issues, if left unaddressed, can lead to devastating consequences. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The decades-old mystery surrounding the death of a woman found nearly decapitated in Provincetown has finally been solved. Investigators have officially closed the case of the woman, known for nearly 50 years as the "Lady of the Dunes," after identifying her as Ruth Marie Terry and naming her husband, Guy Muldavin, as the suspect in her murder. In a significant breakthrough made in October 2022, the FBI positively identified the "Lady of the Dunes" as Ruth Marie Terry. Her body was discovered in a sand dune on July 26, 1974, with her hands cut off and her head nearly severed from her body. The investigators used investigative genealogy to identify Terry, a resident of Tennessee. The FBI revealed that Terry had suffered a blow to the head and was most likely killed several weeks before her body was discovered. The Massachusetts State Police took over the investigation from Provincetown Police in 1982. Terry's skull, which was kept in police custody and not buried with her other remains, was sent to labs for testing. In 2021, Othram was able to create a DNA profile that eventually led to a positive identification. The Chief Medical Examiner's Office issued Terry's death certificate on April 5. The investigation then turned to Terry's husband, Guy Muldavin. The couple got married in Reno, Nevada, in either 1973 or 1974, and traveled to Tennessee to visit Terry's family. Muldavin and Terry traveled together in the summer of 1974, but Muldavin returned alone. He indicated to witnesses that Terry had passed away but told her brother that they had a fight during their honeymoon and he had not heard from her again. The District Attorney's Office revealed that Muldavin was also believed to be the prime suspect in the disappearance of his ex-wife and stepdaughter in Seattle in 1960. Investigators determined that Muldavin was responsible for Terry's death in 1974. Muldavin, who also went by the names Raoul Guy Rockwell and Guy Muldavin Rockwell, died in 2002. In November 2022, Massachusetts State Police announced they were seeking information about him. Detectives investigated the 1960 disappearance of his wife and stepdaughter and later found human remains in the septic tank of their home. Although Muldavin was arrested for unlawful flight and convicted of grand larceny, he was never charged in relation to the Seattle killings. A news article dated December 1, 1960, reported that Muldavin was arrested in New York City after the mutilated bodies of Manzanina Mearns and her 18-year-old daughter, Dolores Ann Mearns, were found in the septic tank. The article noted that detectives found dismembered remains and other parts of human tissue. Dolores and Manzanita disappeared on April 1, 1960. Muldavin was 78 years old when he died. The resolution of this case brings a measure of closure to a mystery that has perplexed investigators for decades. Although Muldavin was never brought to justice for his crimes, the identification of Ruth Marie Terry and the determination of her killer have finally shed light on the dark events of the past.

James Craig, the Aurora dentist accused of poisoning his wife, will not enter a plea in his murder case until early October. Dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit, Craig listened as his attorneys argued that they were not ready for the arraignment, originally scheduled for Tuesday, as they still had 2,000 pages of discovery to comb through. John Kellner, the 18th judicial district attorney, objected to the postponement, stating Angela Pray Craig's siblings "want to continue without delay."    Craig's sister and two brothers attended the hearing via WebEx, as did the relatives of her husband. Meanwhile, the couple's six children deferred their opinion on the postponement to both parties, according to their attorney.    James Craig, 45, faces a first-degree murder charge for the death of his wife, Angela, 43, who died under mysterious circumstances on March 18, 2023. Craig was arrested the next day. Aurora police believe Craig had a motive to kill his wife as his marriage and business were struggling, and he had recently started a romantic relationship with a Texas orthodontist when he allegedly began his plans, according to the arrest affidavit.    Prosecutors claim that Angela Craig died from a combination of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a decongestant found in over-the-counter eyedrops like Visine. The arrest document noted that Angela first visited the Parker Adventist Hospital on March 6, complaining of dizziness and feeling that "her head wasn't right," but was released that day. She visited again three days later when her symptoms reappeared and remained in the hospital for five days.    On March 16, her brother, Mark Pray, rushed her to the CU Anschutz emergency room, where she collapsed and died two days later. Police suspect that James Craig poisoned his wife with potassium cyanide, which he allegedly disguised in her protein shakes, as the arrest affidavit contended.    However, Craig's lawyers argued during the preliminary hearing that there was no evidence that the poison originated in the drink that Craig claimed he prepared for her after a workout.    James Craig is expected to enter a plea on October 9 in Arapahoe County Court.    The case has garnered significant attention, not only because of the nature of the crime but also due to the insidious method allegedly employed by James Craig. As previously discussed by retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, poisoning is a rare and calculated method of murder, often chosen by particularly sadistic individuals. Coffindaffer noted that while poisoning is not a common choice for murderers, it is often selected by those with a patient and calculating mind, characteristics that seem to align with the actions of James Craig as described in the arrest affidavit.    As the case progresses, the details of Angela Craig's final days and the actions of James Craig will be meticulously examined in court. With the arraignment postponed until October 9, both the prosecution and defense will have additional time to prepare their cases, ensuring that all aspects of this tragic event are thoroughly investigated.

The curious case of Sherri Papini, a married mother-of-two, captivated the nation when she mysteriously disappeared in 2016, only to reappear weeks later, 'dazed, battered, and bruised,' claiming she was held captive by two fictional Latina women. The saga unfolded with more twists as investigators uncovered Papini's past and her involvement with an ex-lover, James Reyes, whom she convinced to help her escape her allegedly abusive husband. Ultimately, Papini was arrested in March 2022 and pleaded guilty to the allegations in April 2022. She was sentenced to probation for 36 months and served her sentence at the Federal Correctional Institute in Victorville before being moved to a halfway house run by Sacramento's Residential Reentry Management field office.    The bizarre case began in November 2016 when Papini's husband reported her missing after she failed to pick up their children from school. Her cell phone and earbuds were later found on the running track she used. Weeks later, she was found by the side of the road on Thanksgiving, allegedly tortured and starved by her captors, whose faces she claimed she never saw. However, police revealed that she made up the entire story for attention and was actually staying with her ex-boyfriend, James Reyes, during the 22 days she was missing. This revelation drew comparisons to the plot of Gillian Flynn's thriller novel, "Gone Girl."    Papini and Reyes reconnected in 2016 after dating in 2006. Papini convinced Reyes to help her escape her 'abusive' husband, Keith, by arranging for him to pick her up and drive her to his Southern California apartment. Reyes, who admitted to the plot after being identified by DNA found on Papini's clothes, confessed that he thought their relationship would become romantic again, but it never did. Instead, Papini locked herself in his bedroom, starved herself, cut off her hair, and inflicted injuries on herself, even convincing Reyes to brand her with a hot tool. Reyes drove her back to her home in Redding on November 24, unaware of the media storm that had erupted during her disappearance.    Keith Papini, who was duped by his wife, filed for divorce in April 2022, two days after she pleaded guilty to faking her own kidnapping. The couple, who married in 2009, share two children, Tyler, 10, and Violet, 12. Sherri Papini issued a statement last year apologizing for the pain she caused her family and friends and vowing to make amends for the rest of her life. She received over $30,000 worth of psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder, billed to a state victim compensation fund, which is now part of her restitution.    In a shocking revelation, Mike Mangas, a Roman Catholic Deacon and news anchor, disclosed in the upcoming HLN investigation documentary, "Runaway Mom: The Sherri Papini Story," that investigators found a Bible verse, Exodus 21:16, branded onto Papini's shoulder. The verse reads, 'if anyone has kidnapped someone, they should be put to death.'    The Sherri Papini case highlights the complexities of deception, the impact of false allegations on the community, and the consequences faced by those who fabricate stories that captivate the public's attention. As Papini continues her journey of restitution and self-reflection, the case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of truth and the damaging repercussions of deceit.

Buster Murdaugh, the son of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh, vehemently defends his father's innocence despite the latter being found guilty of murdering his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and their son, Paul Murdaugh. This revelation came to light during the FOX Nation special, 'The Fall of the House of Murdaugh', premiering on its streaming service. Alex Murdaugh, once a respected South Carolina attorney, is currently serving two life sentences for the murders that occurred on the family’s 1,770-acre property in Islandton, S.C.   Buster Murdaugh adamantly expresses his belief that his father is not responsible for the deaths of his mother and brother. He told FOX Nation, “I do not think that he could be affiliated with endangering my mother and brother… We have been here for a while now and that’s been my stance.” He went on to express his fear for his safety, stating, “I think I set myself up to be safe but yes, when I go to bed at night I have a fear that there is somebody that is still out there.”   However, authorities remain convinced of Alex's guilt, backed by what state Circuit Judge Clifton Newman described as “overwhelming” evidence, which included blood spatter on Alex's clothes and his admission of lying about his whereabouts on the night of the murders. Despite this, Buster stands firm on his father's innocence, describing the situation as "a terrible thing to place on somebody with absolutely no fact." He explained the impact on his reputation, stating, “I mean, people perceive me as a murderer.”   This gripping saga also encompasses the mysterious death of Stephen Smith, an openly gay teenager and Buster's high school classmate, in July 2015. Rumors have circulated regarding Buster’s relationship with Smith, fueled by small-town gossip and state trooper investigations. However, Buster vehemently denied any involvement in Smith's murder or any physical relationship with him. This denial came after the exhumation of Smith's body for a second autopsy and the increase in speculation following Alex Murdaugh's trial. South Carolina’s Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has been investigating Smith's death since June 2021, with SLED Chief Mark Keel classifying it as a homicide.   The Murdaugh family, once a powerful dynasty in Hampton County, has experienced a precipitous fall from grace, marred by murder allegations and trials that have captivated the nation. The charges against Alex Murdaugh included not only the murders of his wife and son but also fueled rumors about the involvement of his other son, Buster, in another murder case. Despite the overwhelming evidence against Alex and the ongoing investigation into Stephen Smith's death, Buster remains steadfast in defending his father's innocence and denying any involvement in Smith's death.   As Buster Murdaugh continues to grapple with the loss of his family members and the cloud of suspicion hanging over him, the upcoming FOX Nation documentary promises to shed more light on the intricate web of allegations, investigations, and trials that have come to define the Murdaugh family legacy. The special is set to premiere on Thursday, Aug. 31, marking the second time the public will hear from Buster since the onset of the trials. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The life of 33-year-old Danicka Bergeson came to a tragic end in her Hopkins, Minnesota, home on July 8, when she was found dead, wrapped in layers of blankets. Nearly two months after her demise, her boyfriend, 39-year-old Matthew Brenneman, is facing serious charges, including second-degree murder and second-degree murder while under a restraining order. The status of his plea or whether he has retained legal counsel remains unclear.    The discovery of Danicka's body was prompted by her building manager, who reported hearing "groaning, yelling, and banging" sounds coming from her apartment. Responding officers found Brenneman inside the bathroom, "grunting, and growling," and reeking of bleach, as detailed in the complaint filed.    Danicka's father, David Bergeson, expressed his grief to KARE11, remembering his daughter as a vivacious woman with a strong moral code. "Everything with her was always black or white. She knew exactly what was right and wrong," he said. Nancy Andrews, a close friend of Danicka, echoed similar sentiments on her obituary page, noting her infectious smile, compassion for animals, and a passion for learning.    The complaint outlines a timeline of events that led to the discovery of Bergeson's body. Concerns for her safety were first raised by friends and family on July 2. On July 7, a message sent from Bergeson’s phone to her mother raised further suspicions, as it did not sound like something she would say. Phone records indicate that Brenneman was near Bergeson's residence on June 29, only two days after being released from jail for a prior assault on her. At that time, a restraining order against him was active.    The complaint goes on to document a history of violence between the couple, with multiple alleged incidents of assault, including biting and punching. Following an attack in April, Brenneman reportedly texted a friend, claiming he gave Bergeson a black eye and that she "deserved it, if any woman ever has."    During the investigation, police found what appeared to be bloody clothing in a guest bedroom of the apartment. Additionally, Brenneman left a series of notes throughout the apartment, proclaiming his innocence and denying ever being physically abusive to a woman. However, this claim was contradicted by the mother of Brenneman's child, who alleged that he had pinned her to the bed and hit her on one occasion.    Currently, Brenneman is being held under a $1,500,000 bail for each murder charge. Despite the autopsy revealing numerous wounds on Bergeson's body, the nature of her death was classified as "undetermined."    In the aftermath of this tragic incident, a fundraiser has been organized to assist Bergeson’s family with funeral expenses.    The case of Danicka Bergeson underscores the pervasive and persistent issue of domestic violence that afflicts individuals and families worldwide. It is of paramount importance to offer support to victims and ensure that perpetrators are held accountable for their actions. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Oklahoma officials have recently unearthed crucial evidence from the former property of notorious serial killer, Dennis Rader, situated in Park City, Kansas. The disturbing discovery included "personal items and other binding type items,” according to Osage County Sheriff, Eddie Virden. The sheriff’s department also found pantyhose with unique knots tied around the points where they would potentially wrap around a person’s wrist or ankle.    Dennis Rader, infamously known as the BTK killer – an acronym for "Bind, Torture, Kill" – was a church leader and Boy Scout volunteer. He is currently incarcerated, serving multiple life sentences for 10 murders that took place around Wichita between 1974 and 1991. Today, Rader emerges as the “prime suspect” in the cold case disappearance of Cynthia ‘Cyndi’ Dawn Kinney, a 16-year-old from Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The sheriff's office has also linked Rader to other unsolved murders.    Rader's involvement in these heinous crimes has been a matter of significant speculation. Sheriff Virden is convinced about Rader’s connection to the 1976 disappearance of Kinney. "Rader is 100%, in my opinion, the guy," Virden remarked. However, both Rader and his daughter have persistently denied these accusations.    In a previous excavation conducted in April at Rader's former home, officials uncovered vital evidence that was kept under wraps. This week's dig could have been another discreet operation if not for the word getting out. Sheriff Virden explained that the secrecy was not to hide information but rather to protect the affected families and to ensure the investigation remains uncompromised.    Sheriff Virden provided insight into the recent findings, stating, "The items were deliberately placed 14-16 inches below the ground." This depth is significant as it reflects Rader's meticulous nature and his history of retaining souvenirs from his victims. Two separate locations in the property revealed deliberately buried items. One such location had its soil replaced with a sand-like substance and appeared to have a brick floor with shingles, possibly to shield the buried items. The sheriff remains uncertain whether these found items pertain to the 10 murders for which Rader is currently serving his sentences or if they relate to the newer cases he is suspected of.    One of the primary cold cases linked to Rader is that of Cynthia Dawn Kinney. Kinney mysteriously vanished in 1976 after reportedly leaving her family’s laundromat and possibly entering a 1965 faded beige Plymouth with two women. Several clues hint at Rader's involvement, including a cryptic message in a book he was penning before his arrest, referencing a 1976 killing titled "project bad laundry day." Further, Rader's known familiarity with the Oklahoma region, combined with his occupation as a regional installer for ADT – which would have put him in proximity to the area during Kinney’s disappearance – strengthen suspicions of his involvement.    Rader is also under investigation for his potential involvement in other tragic incidents, like the unfortunate case of Shawna Beth Garber from Missouri.    Kerri Rawson, Rader's daughter, broke her prolonged silence to collaborate with the Osage County Sheriff’s Office in their ongoing investigation. Rawson disclosed that she had directed the sheriff's office to inspect specific areas where Rader had previously buried their family pet. She has also re-established contact with her father, confronting him about the new allegations. Although he reiterated his innocence, Rawson observed that he frequently altered his alibis, which she believes could be attributed to his deteriorating memory due to his age.    However, regardless of these findings and suspicions, Rawson remains conflicted. She commented, “I’m still not 100% sure my dad did commit any more at this point,” but also emphasized the importance of discovering the truth, stating, “If my dad has harmed somebody else, we need answers.”    This case serves as a chilling reminder of the depths of human depravity and the relentless pursuit of justice. The sheriff’s office remains committed to unearthing the truth, ensuring that the victims and their families receive the closure they desperately seek. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a shocking twist, Alex Murdaugh, the convicted double-murderer and former South Carolina attorney, has agreed to plead guilty to federal charges related to the embezzlement of millions from clients, according to recent court records. If Murdaugh remains steadfast in his decision by September 21, it will be the inaugural occasion he has publicly acknowledged guilt for any crime within a court setting.    Aged 55, Murdaugh is currently enduring a life sentence for the merciless killing of his wife and son, an act he committed in their home about two years ago. Despite the overwhelming conviction, Murdaugh has steadfastly maintained his innocence regarding these murders, vouching for his non-involvement from the witness stand during his trial. He is actively appealing the double murder conviction.    Prosecutors have presented a chilling theory behind the motives of the murders. They believe Murdaugh, foreseeing the imminent discovery of his massive financial thefts, chose to kill his family. The hope was that their tragic deaths would act as a smokescreen, buying him both sympathy and the much-needed time to craft a cover-up.    Should the federal guilty plea materialize, it could spell extended incarceration for Murdaugh. Even if his appeal against the murder conviction were to be successful, the federal charges ensure that freedom remains distant.    Investigators, both state and federal, have unraveled a web of deceit spun by Murdaugh. Before the tragic murders, Murdaugh is believed to have stolen significant sums from clients who were already grappling with debilitating injuries. These were individuals in desperate need of financial relief for medical expenses. Adding to his litany of alleged crimes, he stands accused of pilfering from his family's prestigious law firm, playing a pivotal role in a drug ring designed to launder money, and even conspiring with a friend to stage his own death, all in the name of a hefty life insurance payout. Thankfully for him, the gunshot meant to take his life only managed a superficial wound.    As per the federal court's documentation, Murdaugh's charges are comprehensive. He faces 14 counts of money laundering, five of wire fraud, one of bank fraud, and counts of conspiracy related to wire and bank fraud. As of now, court records do not suggest any quid pro quo in terms of dropping any charges for a guilty plea. The potential penalties are severe, with each charge threatening a prison term ranging from 20 to 30 years.    Following his indictment on 22 federal charges this past May, Murdaugh's legal representatives have remained tight-lipped. However, they hinted at a cooperative Murdaugh, suggesting that the charges would find resolution without the need for a full trial.    Murdaugh's alleged misdeeds extend beyond the federal landscape. Similar accusations are pending in state court. One particularly heinous act involves the theft of around $4 million in insurance settlements. This money was intended for the family of Gloria Satterfield, a dedicated housekeeper who tragically lost her life due to a fall at the Murdaugh residence. Authorities allege that Murdaugh's close associate and former attorney, Cory Fleming, played a crucial role in this theft. Fleming, having pled guilty, is now serving a prison sentence nearing four years.    Further probing reveals a deeper nexus of corruption. Investigators claim that Murdaugh and his banker associate, Russell Laffitte, colluded to misappropriate settlement funds from clients. Laffitte, having faced a November conviction on multiple charges, is appealing his seven-year sentence.    Murdaugh's extensive rap sheet includes charges of creating misleading bank accounts resembling legitimate companies that managed settlements. This was supposedly a tactic to siphon off client funds seamlessly.    Currently, Murdaugh is housed in protective custody at a state prison, following his conviction for the brutal murders of his son, Paul, and wife, Maggie. His legal battles are far from over, with approximately 100 state charges looming, encompassing a gamut from thefts to tax evasion.    A pretrial hearing for these charges is imminent, which will also be Murdaugh's first public outing since his dramatic exit from the Colleton County Courtroom earlier this year.    While his public appearances have been limited, photos of Murdaugh, at times shirtless in his prison cell, surfaced. These were initially released by prison officials but were later retracted, citing that they weren't meant for public consumption.    The Alex Murdaugh case continues to captivate the nation, revealing a story of deceit, murder, and betrayal at every turn.

Convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh found an unlikely mentor behind bars: a lifelong criminal. This surprising relationship is explored in John Glatt's new book, "Tangled Vines: Power, Privilege and the Murdaugh Family Murders." Glatt, a bestselling true-crime author, delves into the Murdaugh family's ascent to power, the double homicide that shocked the nation, and how the former attorney adapted to life in prison.    “We really hit it off, and I liked him,” Murdaugh was quoted as saying to his sister-in-law in 2022. “He was always in trouble with guns but laid-back and very jail-smart. He taught me a lot about being in here that helped me.”    This unusual mentorship forms a key aspect of Glatt's narrative. According to Glatt, the patriarch befriended a "hardened" criminal who had spent most of his life in prison. This unnamed lawbreaker became "a mentor for the former attorney and assistant solicitor."    Glatt reveals that the jailhouse calls he obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request made by another reporter were crucial to understanding Murdaugh's life behind bars.    “I listened to every one of those 200 calls,” Glatt explained. “... He didn’t talk a lot about what happened, but he would talk about his life in prison. And it was amazing how he’d settled in. He was a gambler. He loved all the basketball games, especially the Gamecocks. He was a sports enthusiast. And that didn’t change behind bars.”    Murdaugh was found guilty of murdering his wife and son, a crime allegedly committed to cover up his financial wrongdoings. Despite this, he seemed to adapt remarkably well to prison life, a transformation Glatt attributes to the guidance of his new mentor.    "He assimilated very easily into the jail system," he explained. "… He was a master manipulator, which you could hear from the jailhouse calls."    The mentor's influence is palpable in Murdaugh's activities behind bars. He made friends over poker and chess, but remained cautious "against a possible snitch." He also described befriending a confidante who did him favors in exchange for small bribes.    “It would amaze you, the trade system in here,” Murdaugh told his brother. “And how innovative these folks are and resourceful with so little. I’ll have to tell you about it later and not on the phone because I know they listen to every single phone call I make.”    Murdaugh's jailhouse activities and the financial trades he engineered, Glatt notes, highlight his continued manipulation and cunning, traits that were likely honed under the guidance of his prison mentor.    Interestingly, despite the hundreds of recorded calls, Murdaugh never mentioned his late wife or son during his conversations, instead, he instructed his other son, Buster, to always put flowers on their graves.    Ultimately, Glatt's book offers a comprehensive and detailed account of the Murdaugh family saga, shedding light on new aspects of the story, including the surprising mentorship that Alex Murdaugh found behind bars.    "In summary, while the Murdaugh family may have appeared close and loving on paper, a hidden demon tore them apart," Glatt reflects. “I don’t think there is any remorse at all,” he said. “During the trial, he always had a handkerchief totally at the ready to wipe his eyes when something gruesome or emotional came out. It was like he was playing to the jurors… He knows how to play the game in closing arguments and civil cases… He [thought] he could do that with this jury. And it rebounded on him... Of course, Alex has never admitted to killing them, and I’m sure he never will."    This riveting narrative, detailed in "Tangled Vines," showcases the Murdaugh family's journey from power to downfall, highlighting the unlikely relationship that helped Alex Murdaugh adapt to life behind bars.

A chilling verdict has been delivered by the U.S. justice system. Lawrence Rudolph, a 68-year-old man who coldly orchestrated the murder of his wife during a hunting trip in Africa, was sentenced to life imprisonment by a federal judge. This decision serves as a stark reminder that no act, no matter how meticulously planned, can elude the long arm of the law.    The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado made the announcement on Monday, Aug. 21. Rudolph was not only found guilty of murder but also of defrauding life insurance companies. He will serve a concurrent 20-year sentence for the latter offense. The legal repercussions didn't end there. Judge William Martinez ordered Rudolph to pay a staggering $4.9 million in restitution, an additional fine of $2 million, and a $200 special assessment.    U.S. Attorney Cole Finnegan emphasized the gravity of the verdict in his statement. "This result shows that no matter how much money, prestige, or power you have, you will be held accountable for your crimes," he remarked.    Rudolph's grim tale doesn't stand alone. His girlfriend, Lori Milliron, was also found entangled in this web of deceit and violence. Convicted in August 2022, she was charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder, obstruction of justice, and two counts of perjury. By June, she was handed a 17-year prison sentence.    Diving deeper into the harrowing details, the U.S. Attorney’s Office unveiled the chilling sequence of events that took place on Oct. 11, 2016. On the final day of their hunting trip in Zambia, Rudolph coldly "shot his wife [Bianca Rudolph] through the heart with a 12-gauge shotgun that was enclosed in a soft-shell case." The intent? To cunningly disguise the cold-blooded murder as a mere hunting mishap.    In defense, Rudolph recounted a version of events wherein his wife tragically died while trying to stow away the shotgun, which he claimed had accidentally discharged.    The emotional toll this crime has taken on the victim's family was palpable during the sentencing hearing. As reported by The Associated Press, Bianca Rudolph's brother addressed the convicted murderer, asserting that Rudolph would "die alone and unmourned." He further added, "Even Judas would be afraid to be in your company."    The motive behind this grisly act became clearer as the prosecution shed light on Milliron's role. Lori Milliron, who maintained a professional relationship with Rudolph as a dental hygienist and manager in his office, reportedly pressured Rudolph to end his marriage with Bianca. This revelation, as disclosed by The Associated Press, further establishes the premeditated nature of the crime.    As the legal chapters in this case continue to unfold, Rudolph’s defense team has expressed their intention to appeal the verdict.    In Conclusion:    The shocking events surrounding Lawrence Rudolph’s actions serve as a testament to the indomitable pursuit of justice by the U.S. legal system. No stone was left unturned as investigators, lawyers, and prosecutors worked tirelessly to uncover the truth and ensure that both Rudolph and Milliron faced the consequences of their grave actions. This case is a stark reminder that heinous acts, no matter where committed, will be sought out and punished with the full force of the law. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a shocking turn of events, Houston Police have arrested Pamela Ann Merritt, 43, in connection to the death of her landlord, Colin Kerdachi. The landlord's body was found nearly two years ago, concealed under a staircase on his property at 605 W. Clay St.    Timeline of Events:   On February 15, 2021, Kerdachi is believed to have been fatally stabbed by Merritt. Merely five days later, on February 20, the landlord was reported missing. His absence was particularly noted amidst a devastating winter storm that plunged Houston into widespread power outages.   Only a few days later, on February 23, a separate incident brought the Houston Police to Kerdachi's Clay Street residence. A resident of the house alleged that Merritt had broken in and "would not leave." It was during this intervention that the resident questioned Merritt about Kerdachi's whereabouts. Her chilling reply was that she had "killed him."    Following this startling confession, Merritt was immediately detained and sent for psychiatric evaluation.    Interestingly, in October of the same year, another resident came forward with a concerning discovery. After cleaning parts of the house as per an agreement with Merritt and another resident, Michael Brown, she found "what looked like large pools of blood and drops of blood" on the third floor, especially in the bathroom area.    According to the resident, Merritt shared a narrative in which Kerdachi had sustained a "stab wound from falling on a sharp object" and later died at the hospital. This version of events was, however, inconsistent with the crime scene.    Fast forward to December 6, 2021, when the mysterious case took a darker turn. Houston Police responded to a call from a resident of 605 W. Clay St. They arrived to find human remains in an advanced state of decomposition in the backyard. The remains were later positively identified as Kerdachi’s by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.    The officer present during the discovery noted that the way the body was concealed seemed "consistent with attempting to hide the body from detection." Furthermore, upon confronting Merritt and Brown about calling the police, the two reportedly "started painting over things," suggesting an attempt to cover the evidence. A knife was also discovered inside a mailbox.    In a perplexing twist, Merritt went on to make multiple claims. She told the police she believed Kerdachi had "faked his death to commit fraud and is probably alive in Africa." She also claimed that the blood found in the house was the result of "rotten meat that she cleaned out of a refrigerator." Both Merritt and Brown staunchly denied any wrongdoing, arguing that the remains under the house belonged to a deceased dog. They were subsequently released without charges.    However, the medical examination unveiled the grim reality. The autopsy report revealed that Kerdachi had suffered fatal sharp and blunt force trauma to the torso. He had also sustained stab wounds to several areas, including his scapula, head, neck, chest, and ribs.    Conclusion and Next Steps:   After extensive investigations, Houston Police arrested Pamela Ann Merritt on August 18. Records from the Harris County Jail indicate she has been booked on charges of murder and theft.   As this tragic story continues to unravel, Merritt is expected to appear in court in November.   While the circumstances surrounding Kerdachi’s death remain disturbing and shrouded in mystery, the relentless efforts of the Houston Police Department demonstrate their commitment to seeking justice for victims and their families.   Remember, if you or someone you know has information about a crime, always reach out to your local law enforcement agency. Every detail could be crucial in solving a case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the quiet neighborhood of Westbourne Road, Chester, the walls of Lucy Letby's semi-detached home bore witness to a chilling secret. It wasn't hidden in plain sight, but on crammed Post-it notes filled with her minuscule, frantic scrawls. These scribblings have become crucial evidence, offering a stark window into Letby's deeply troubled psyche.   While detectives have posited that these notes were a cryptic way for Letby to end her sinister spree, a deeper analysis reveals more. These Post-its are not a confession, nor are they simple scribbles. They provide a raw, unfiltered look into the recesses of a disturbed mind.   As a forensic psychiatrist, delving into the minds of individuals who have committed grievous crimes is not new to me. In secure prisons, tightly locked hospital wards, and courtrooms, I've encountered many who tread the dark path. But Lucy Letby is distinct.   The notes are filled with expressions that exemplify 'negative cognitions'. Phrases such as "I don't deserve Mum + Dad", "Hate myself", and "The world is better off without me" resonate with overwhelming guilt, shame, and self-hatred. The inherent contradictions in her notes, with statements like "I haven't done anything wrong" juxtaposed against confessions of her evil nature, signify a tormented soul battling her own conscience. And although these notes give us a glimpse of this internal strife, her guilt, shame, and self-awareness were evidently not potent enough to halt her murderous actions or elicit a confession during the trial.   Interspersed in these scribbles, Letby frequently mentions her cats, Tigger and Smudge. Perhaps they were her solace, beings she could control and exhibit genuine affection towards, in stark contrast to the heinous crimes she committed.   Despite these profound revelations, classifying Letby under standard psychiatric conditions remains challenging. There's little evidence in these notes that hint towards her suffering from a severe mental illness. However, signs of anxiety and depression permeate her writings. The scribbled "HELP" and "HATE", coupled with the overwhelming intensity of her notes, all point towards a deeply troubled mind.   Yet, these symptoms did not impair her daily functions. Colleagues never reported any peculiar stress or abnormal behavior in her role at the hospital. This duality in her nature, of committing unimaginable crimes while outwardly maintaining a composed façade, is haunting.   The motivations behind Letby's actions are intricate. While one might be tempted to accept her statement, "I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough to care for them", as a genuine reflection of her motives, it might just be an expression of self-pity. The actual driving forces, it appears, were the desire for control, power, and a perverse thrill in being around the grieving process. Letby's morbid need to be present during moments of overwhelming parental grief, even when the babies were not her patients, underscores a deeper, more sinister craving.   Moreover, despite her crimes, Letby doesn't align neatly with the classical traits of psychopathy. She might have lied to shield her deeds, but she didn't fabricate an alternate reality. The key differentiator here is her emotional perception. While she might cognitively understand the repercussions of her actions, emotionally, she remains detached. The suffering of others doesn't cause her pain; instead, she draws a perverse pleasure from it.   Lucy Letby is an enigma. Her behavior before her heinous acts didn't raise alarms. She was perceived as amiable, diligent, and competent. Trying to reconcile this image with the one painted by her Post-it notes is unsettling. With Letby unlikely to ever leave prison, the chances of her receiving intensive psychiatric support, leading to a potential remorse or epiphany, are slim.   In conclusion, Lucy Letby remains one of the most perplexing clinical cases ever encountered. While we might never fully grasp the intricacies of her mind, these Post-it notes serve as a chilling testament, providing the only tangible insight into her twisted psyche.

In a startling twist of events surrounding the murder of Ana Walshe, new information surfaces as the legal proceedings draw on. Accused wife killer, Brian Walshe, will have to wait for his day in court. The initially scheduled court appearance for this Wednesday has been postponed to November. The decision came after attorneys on both sides anticipated pivotal DNA results from several items, including a hacksaw that was recently dispatched to an independent lab for DNA analysis. The awaited results are predicted to emerge in two weeks, as disclosed in the latest court filing in Norfolk, Massachusetts, Superior Court.   Ana Walshe's haunting disappearance on New Year's Day has left a community on edge, especially since her body remains undiscovered. In a bid to find closure, a significant tip from the community directed a heavy law enforcement response, comprising the Massachusetts State Police, to a dense woodland area in Peabody, Massachusetts. This location holds significance as it is in close proximity to the transfer station where integral evidence building the murder case against Brian - notably a hacksaw and a blood-streaked rug - was unearthed.   In a public statement from the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office, David Traub, spokesperson for the DA's office, disclosed: "Two persons in the Peabody community unconnected to the prosecution of Brian Walshe contacted police investigators with their belief that an area of that community may be of investigative interest in that matter." Yet, the search, unfortunately, came up empty, with no substantial leads uncovered.   The backdrop of this murder allegation, which Brian Walshe has categorically denied, intersects with his federal art fraud case, resulting in procedural delays. Having been convicted of selling counterfeit Andy Warhol paintings on eBay, Brian was serving house arrest at their Cohasset residence during Ana's disappearance. As per court documents, Brian believed that Ana, a high-ranking real estate executive in Washington, D.C., was having an extramarital affair. This allegation, combined with Brian's deliberate delays in his art fraud sentencing, is purported to have heightened tensions in their marriage.   Further allegations plague Brian. He's also being tried for allegedly manipulating his father's will and, most gruesomely, for purportedly battering his wife to death on New Year's Day. Court documents state that Brian had been suspicious of Ana and had been monitoring the Instagram account of one of her male acquaintances from Washington, D.C. These suspicions led Brian to enlist a private investigator to shadow Ana in D.C., followed by multiple divorce-related Google searches. The content of these searches, some chillingly morbid, has raised eyebrows and is under close scrutiny by legal experts.   Despite the plethora of charges, Brian Walshe stands firm on his plea of not guilty on all counts. His attorney, Tracy Miner, remains tight-lipped, asserting that she plans to contest the allegations rigorously in court rather than the court of public opinion. In an earlier statement this April, she emphasized, "It is not evidence. It will be up to the prosecution to prove those allegations beyond a reasonable doubt."   The lack of a physical body is undoubtedly a significant barrier for the prosecutors. High-profile Massachusetts criminal defense attorney, Iris Eytan, has openly questioned the robustness of the evidence.   Nate Amendola, another prominent Massachusetts criminal defense attorney not associated with the case, echoed this sentiment. Speaking to Fox News Digital, he asserted, "This is a pure circumstantial case. There is no direct evidence because nobody saw her being killed. And there's no physical body. And there's really no physical evidence, other than some blood and some personal items."   While the intricacies of the case continue to unravel, one thing is for sure: Brian Walshe will remain in custody, devoid of bail, until his subsequent court appearance. Amendola prognosticates that given its nature, this case will inevitably reach trial, as first-degree murder cases in the state seldom culminate in a plea bargain.

The mysterious disappearance of a woman in South Carolina might have just taken a shocking turn. Julia Ann Bean vanished without a trace in 2017, leaving her loved ones desperate for answers. New suspicions have emerged surrounding her connection to the accused Gilgo Beach killer, Rex Heuermann.   The Disappearance of Julia Ann Bean   Julia Ann Bean was last seen alive in late May or early June of 2017 in the Red Bay Road area of Sumter. She was a 36-year-old mother of three who struggled with addiction. When she was reported missing on November 18, 2017, her absence had already stretched over six worrisome months. The state of her home suggested a sudden or forced departure, with essentials like keys, cell phone, and wallet left behind.   But why is this six-year-old case now getting fresh attention?   Rex Heuermann and the Gilgo Four   Enter Rex Heuermann. Recently arrested in connection with the murders of three women found along Gilgo Beach, Heuermann has a grim cloud surrounding him. The victims, known collectively as the "Gilgo Four," were petite women who offered their services on Craigslist.   When Bean's friend, Heidi Kovas, saw news footage of these victims, she was struck by their uncanny resemblance to Julia. As Kovas expressed, "All of them matched Julia. Everything. The blond hair, the green eyes, the fact she was so petite."   Kovas' unsettling observation took an even darker turn when she learned that Bean's daughter recognized Heuermann as the last man she saw her mother with. A chilling encounter outside a nail salon, where Bean's daughter was awaiting her mom, saw Heuermann drive Bean in a Chevrolet Avalanche – the very car embroiled in the New York case against him.   The Evidence Piles Up   The disturbing coincidences don't stop there. Sumter, where Bean was last seen, is a mere 100 miles away from property owned by Heuermann in Chester County. Could Heuermann have been in the area, connecting with Bean during a visit?   Bean's social media activity points to a mid-July disappearance, but the days leading up to her sudden exit are foggy. Kovas mentions the possibility of Bean's involvement in sex work, hinting at Heuermann's potential motive for visiting Sumter.   Local law enforcement is now under scrutiny, with friends and family of Bean accusing them of failing to investigate her disappearance adequately due to her past issues. Kovas has since reported her findings to the Sumter County Sheriff's Office, which is now investigating the connection.   The Ongoing Investigation   Heuermann's arrest has sent shockwaves through multiple states. He faces charges for the three Gilgo Beach murders and remains the prime suspect in the fourth. Investigations span across New York State, New Jersey, and other parts of South Carolina, with potential links in Las Vegas being explored too. His arrest followed a breakthrough in DNA evidence, and a search of his property uncovered a veritable arsenal and a suspicious vault.   Despite the mounting evidence, Heuermann remains distant and unresponsive, engaging only in religious activities since his incarceration.   Conclusion   The link between Rex Heuermann and the tragic disappearance of Julia Ann Bean is undeniably alarming. While investigations are ongoing, the revelations shed new light on a cold case, offering a glimmer of hope to a grieving family. As Kovas passionately implored, "Where's my friend? Why aren't they getting off their asses and going to look for her?" Only time will tell if the two cases intertwine, but one thing is clear: Julia Ann Bean's story is far from over.

In the podcast's latest episode, we spotlight Bryan Kohberger, revealing a troubled history that could offer insights into his recent alleged crimes. Kohberger, now 28, who faces charges of murdering four University of Idaho students, had previously been expelled from a high school law enforcement program. The reason? Multiple complaints about his behavior, primarily from female students.    From Dreams of Law Enforcement to Expulsion    Bryan Kohberger's aspiration to join the ranks of law enforcement was no secret. As a high school student at Monroe Career and Technical Institute, he was a part of their law enforcement program. However, as Tanya Carmella-Beers, a former administrator of the institute, revealed on the podcast, his behavior led to his eventual removal from the program.    Carmella-Beers was quoted, stating, "[Kohberger] wasn't gonna end up in the police academy." She further explained that he had taken the program "extremely seriously," but his path took a turn after a group of female students lodged a complaint against him. While she refrained from going into specific details due to student privacy laws, she noted that the circumstances leading to his exit "now, makes sense."    From Law Enforcement Dreams to Gruesome Crimes    On November 13th, tragedy struck near the University of Idaho when four students, Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were found dead in their off-campus residence. Kohberger, with his once cherished dreams of law enforcement, now stands as the primary suspect for these heinous crimes.    Kohberger's subsequent activities after being dismissed from the law enforcement program also raise eyebrows. He transferred to a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning course but dropped out a year later. Interestingly, he used his brief stint in the law enforcement program to secure a part-time security guard position at Mount Pleasant High School. His tenure there was short-lived, ending with a forced resignation under mysterious circumstances.    The Evolution of a Suspect    Kohberger's high school years were marked by personal transformations. According to close friends Casey Arntz and Bree, he faced weight-related bullying, leading him to lose nearly 100 pounds during his senior year. However, this physical transformation was accompanied by a behavioral shift. Kohberger started exhibiting bullying behavior himself, targeting Arntz's brother with physical aggression.    Bree also highlighted another disturbing development: Kohberger's descent into drug use, notably heroin.    A report from DailyMail.com further paints a picture of a man who consistently made others, especially women, uncomfortable. This behavior extended into his adult life. Jordan Serulneck, owner of a Pennsylvania bar, described Kohberger as someone who made "creepy comments" and was aggressive towards female staff. Additionally, during his tenure as a teaching assistant at Washington State University, Kohberger faced accusations of sexism.    The Legal Battle Ahead    Kohberger, who has plead not guilty, is set to face trial on October 2. The pre-trial hearings have been contentious. The defense demands more time to address potential procedural issues with the grand jury indictment from May, and they're also pushing for further disclosure on the DNA profiles prosecutors plan to use.    In contrast, prosecutors urge Kohberger to provide evidence of his alibi for the night of the murders. They've countered the defense's requests with their own, ensuring that DNA profiles remain protected and addressing other timeline concerns in Kohberger's upcoming trial.    Key evidence against Kohberger includes his DNA found on a knife sheath at the crime scene and CCTV footage of his white Hyundai Elantra car near the scene. Another potential blow to his defense is a witness statement from a surviving roommate, who claims the killer had "bushy eyebrows," matching Kohberger's appearance.

Braxton Southwick, a close cousin to Lori Vallow Daybell, recently shed significant light on the dark undertones of Lori's apocalyptic beliefs, raising further questions about the extent of Chad Daybell's influence on Lori, especially in the harrowing months preceding the death of her children.    Southwick, who spent much of his early life within close proximity to Lori's family, reminisced about their intertwined childhoods, stating, "Growing up within an hour of Lori, Adam (her brother) and I were as close as cousins could be." Their bond, while always strong, was solidified post-2001. "Following the tragic 9/11 terrorist attacks," Southwick detailed, "my prepper inclinations intensified, and Lori seemed to mirror my passion. We'd excitedly exchange notes on survival strategies, recommending books and sharing new insights. Our mutual interest created a sort of feedback loop that just kept amplifying."    Braxton's dedication to prepping wasn't just a fleeting interest. He lent his expertise to two seasons of National Geographic's renowned show "Doomsday Preppers", and has frequently been a sought-after voice on various television programs and conferences nationwide, elaborating on end-of-times preparation. "While Lori wasn't exactly keen on accumulating tangible prepping resources like food storage due to her frequent moves," Southwick recalled, "she took a deep dive into the realm of spiritual and religious preparation."    Southwick painted a vivid picture of his 2017 trip to Hawaii, where he and his wife stayed with Lori and her then-husband, Charles Vallow. "Our discussions predominantly revolved around prepping—books, our personal emotions, thoughts—it was exhilarating," Southwick reflected. "For Lori, this wasn’t just a hobby; it was a way of life she deeply yearned to delve into."    Lori's zeal for preparing for the end times took a sharp turn when she chanced upon "Visions of Glory", a book narrating a man's near-death experiences and his apocalyptic visions. This book, which depicted catastrophes like plagues, floods, earthquakes, and the heralding of 144,000 righteous souls before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, deeply resonated with her. Southwick admitted, "The book was certainly compelling, but Lori interpreted it with extreme fervor. We frequently discussed its content, and regrettably, I was the one who first introduced her to it."    Casting a shadow on Lori's obsession with the book, Kauai police, in January 2020, found her lounging beside a pool, the infamous "Visions of Glory" perched on her chair, with Chad Daybell by her side.    Southwick's first encounter with Chad Daybell was in 2018 at a religious conference in Rexburg. Although he was aware of Chad's vocation as a book publisher, their real conversation only commenced in March 2020. "Chad reached out to me, seeking financial assistance for Lori's bail," Southwick narrated. "I grappled with the situation; my initial instinct was to help Lori. But then, risking my house for her bail? The stakes were too high. The conversations with Chad were unsettling—his demeanor was eerily calm. Something felt amiss."    The discovery of Lori's children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan's bodies on Chad's property, jolted Southwick. "I had initially assumed Lori was protecting her children by hiding them, but the gruesome reality was far from what I'd ever imagined," he confessed.    Lori's subsequent arrest led to convictions of conspiracy to commit murder, first-degree murder of her children, and additionally, charges relating to Chad's former wife, Tammy Daybell. "It was utterly staggering. Lori was always an exemplary mother. Her transformation was beyond comprehension, and Chad played a pivotal role in that drastic change," asserted Southwick. He speculated on Lori's distorted perceptions, “She possibly believed her children were better off dead than facing the impending doomsday. And Chad likely manipulated her, asserting the Second Coming's imminence."    Braxton also touched upon the volatile mix of Chad's prophecies and Lori's admiration for him, "Chad was basking in the admiration from a beautiful woman, which likely egged him on to keep up his prophetic pretense. Lori, drawn to the power he seemingly wielded, clung to his every word."    Even after Lori's arrest and the chilling revelations, Southwick’s affection for his cousin remains. "She's been a wonderful cousin. The path she's taken devastates me daily. My heart aches for her, and I continue to hold her in my prayers," he revealed, his voice thick with emotion.    This chilling narrative paints a picture of two lives converging, resulting in an unfathomable tragedy, raising questions about influence, belief, and where the line between passion and obsession truly lies.

In the tranquil suburbs near Park City, Utah, the intriguing story of Kouri Richins, a grief book author and mother of three, unfolds like a suspense thriller. Accused of orchestrating the tragic end of her millionaire husband, Eric Richins, Kouri’s tale is replete with deceit, betrayal, and heartbreak.    “Careful consultation,” as the Summit County prosecutors emphasized, has led the victim’s close-knit family — his sisters and father — to a significant decision. If Kouri Richins is found guilty, she will not be sentenced to death. This judgment was documented at Utah's 3rd District Court and has been brought to public attention by media stalwarts like The New York Post.    The accusations leveled against 33-year-old Kouri are grievous. In March 2022, it’s believed she concocted a sinister cocktail by mixing lethal amounts of fentanyl with vodka in a drink known as a Moscow Mule. This potent concoction allegedly caused the premature demise of 39-year-old Eric Richins, her husband, in their Utah home. What followed was astonishing. Mere months after this tragic incident, Kouri published a picture book on grief, aimed at aiding her young children in processing their father’s death.    But Kouri’s legal troubles were only beginning. Arrested in May, she faced charges of first-degree aggravated murder, as well as multiple counts of possessing a controlled substance with sinister intent. The prosecutors have been clear on the nature of her charges. She will be tried for a noncapital first-degree felony.    The married life of Kouri and Eric had commenced in June 2013. But, as detailed in a prenuptial agreement they signed, Eric ensured that his assets and debts acquired prior to their union would remain solely his, even in the event of a divorce. A significant point of contention was Eric's 50% ownership in C & E Stone Masonry LLC, which he declared would remain under his sole proprietorship regardless of any financial inputs from Kouri.    Yet, complications arose after Eric's untimely death. He had reportedly transferred his business's ownership to the Eric Richins Living Trust. His business interest was eventually sold to his partner, Cody Wright, with the proceeds from this sale amounting to approximately $2 million.    Asserting her rights, Kouri is now embroiled in a legal battle, challenging these decisions. She contends that the family home, which the couple purchased in 2012 for $400,000, was not part of the assets specified in the prenup. Kouri’s argument rests on her significant financial contributions: from the home's down payment and mortgage installments to funding amenities like a swimming pool and fencing.    However, police documents present a harrowing twist. Prior to his death, Eric had allegedly expressed fears about his life being in danger due to his wife's actions. He’d taken steps, modifying his will and granting power of attorney to his sister. He even set up a trust, transferring assets, including the family home, without Kouri's approval.    This isn’t where the plot thickens. Eric’s sister, Katie, claims that Kouri had misappropriated around $494,000 of Eric’s funds. Allegedly, a mere three years into their marriage, Kouri's financial woes led her to siphon money from Eric's accounts for her real estate enterprise.    According to Katie, Eric discovered withdrawals of at least $100,000 and around $30,000 of credit card debt, all attributable to Kouri. To further complicate matters, Kouri is alleged to have secured a $250,000 loan by fraudulently using Eric’s Power of Attorney. Upon confronting her, Kouri reportedly confessed to these indiscretions and pledged to repay him.    Shockingly, in January 2022, Kouri allegedly attempted to change the beneficiary of Eric's life insurance account to herself. This endeavor failed, but more allegations followed. Kouri purportedly misallocated funds meant for Eric’s personal and business tax obligations, with the misdirected amounts totaling to at least $214,370.    Currently held without bail at Summit County Jail, Kouri awaits trial for her husband's alleged murder. The situation on the night of Eric’s death remains murky. Kouri claims she tried to resuscitate him after finding him unresponsive. Yet, medics at the scene doubted this, citing evidence of blood around Eric's mouth.    Reports indicate that in the lead-up to his death, Kouri purchased fentanyl pills amounting to $1,800. Eric's post-mortem symptoms, including an allergic reaction, have raised questions, especially since no painkillers were found in their residence. Friends and family were also baffled, denying any knowledge of Eric's alleged addiction.    The subsequent year witnessed Kouri embarking on lavish vacations with her children and authoring a book titled "Are You With Me?" to aid children in grappling with grief. During an interview, Kouri remarked about the void in available resources, stating, “I just wanted some story to read to my kids at night, and I couldn't find anything that suited them, so I was like ‘let's just write one.’”    Yet, as Kouri portrays her late husband's passing as an unexpected shock, investigators, family members, and the public continue to piece together the intricate puzzle of Eric Richins' tragic demise.

In a recent development that has gripped the state of Maryland, the Harford County Sheriff's Office has unveiled video footage of a suspect they strongly believe is implicated in the tragic death of Rachel Morin. This beloved mother of five was discovered lifeless near a widely frequented hiking trail in Maryland a mere day after she was reported missing.    The haunting circumstances surrounding the death of Rachel Hannah Morin on August 5, 2023, have compelled the Harford County Sheriff's Office to appeal to the general public for help. In a bid to expedite the investigation, they took to social media last Thursday, earnestly soliciting any leads or details that might assist them in identifying and locating the individual captured in the surveillance video. They underscored the severity of the case, reminding the community of the homicide that transpired along the popular Ma & Pa Trail in Bel Air, Maryland.    The discovery of Morin's demise was particularly harrowing. She was reported missing on the day she was last seen by her partner, having ventured out for a routine run on the trail but never made her way back. It was a determined volunteer from the ensuing search party who came across her remains along the trail the subsequent day. This discovery confirmed the fears of many and left the community in shock.    Harford County Sheriff Jeffery Gahler has been steadfast in updating the public. In an earlier news briefing, he unambiguously communicated the gravity of the situation, stating that certain "indicators" undeniably pointed towards a homicide. Reiterating their dedication to the case, Gahler assured reporters that their team is exerting every effort possible, promising a thorough investigation.    The surveillance footage that has been brought to light is particularly alarming. It showcases a suspect, an individual exiting a residence after an alleged home invasion incident in distant Los Angeles, California. This man, as described by eyewitness accounts, stands at approximately 5 feet 9 inches, weighs around 160 pounds, and is likely aged between 20 to 30 years. Notably, he possesses a muscular build, dark hair, and is believed to be of Hispanic lineage.    In a surprising turn, the Los Angeles Police Department weighed in on the investigation. They confirmed that the DNA discovered in the Morin homicide aligns with that of a suspect identified from a previous residential burglary and assault case from March 26, 2023, in their jurisdiction. Furthermore, a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department elucidated their commitment, revealing that detectives have been liaising closely with Harford County Investigators to ensure all requisite information is available in the pursuit of justice.    The dragnet has expanded beyond Maryland, as insights from the investigation hint at the suspect having established connections within the Los Angeles region. There's also increasing speculation about his potential involvement in other severe crimes across various states.    Richard Tobin, Morin's heartbroken boyfriend, has been vocal during this tumultuous period, expressing his anguish and hope for justice on social media platforms. In a heartfelt post, Tobin stated, "I love Rachel and would never harm her. I implore everyone to let us grieve. While I acknowledge my past, I have transformed over the past 15 months. I urge understanding."    The loss of Rachel Morin has indeed left an indelible void. Recognizing the immediate financial needs of the bereaved family, particularly in light of her absence of a life insurance policy, well-wishers have initiated a GoFundMe campaign. This gesture aims to alleviate funeral expenses and provide essential support for her five children.    As the investigation forges ahead, the community and nation at large wait with bated breath for justice to be meted out for Rachel Morin, hoping for closure for her family and friends.

In a gripping and tragic twist of events, the ex-wife of a high-ranking Microsoft executive, Jared Bridegan, has been indicted and charged with his gruesome murder in Jacksonville, Florida. State Attorney Melissa Nelson brought this shocking revelation to light during an intensive news briefing. The crime, which had previously baffled Florida law enforcement, is now unraveling, revealing the sordid details behind the calculated assassination of a loving father and accomplished professional.    Jared Bridegan was not just any software developer. He was a crucial asset to tech giant, Microsoft, and an affectionate father to four children. The cruel nature of his demise on February 16, 2022, left the community in shock. On that fateful evening, after responsibly ensuring the safety of his twin children in a Jacksonville Beach neighborhood, Jared encountered an unexpected obstacle. In a dimly-lit street lay a stray tire. As any good Samaritan would, he attempted to move it for the safety of others. Unbeknownst to him, this act of kindness would be his last. He was ambushed and shot multiple times, leaving his two-year-old daughter abandoned yet thankfully unharmed in her car seat.    The name at the heart of this scandal? Shanna Lee Gardner, aged 36. This startling development came as her former husband, Jared's wife, Kristen Bridegan, stated, "From the onset, everything within me believed she had a hand in this." But what could be the possible motive behind such a heinous act? The couple's tumultuous past reveals a trail of clues. Court records describe their divorce as "highly acrimonious", painting a picture of intense discord and a "contentious relationship" that extended even to Gardner’s current husband, Mario Fernandez Saldana.    In another startling turn, it was divulged that the state is not only pursuing the death penalty against Shanna Gardner but also against Mario Fernandez Saldana. Represented by Jesse Dreicer, Fernandez Saldana firmly asserts his innocence. Dreicer, expressing faith in the forthcoming exoneration of his client, emphasized that, “He has pleaded not guilty and remains innocent until proven otherwise.”    However, the case took on more weight when the alleged hitman, Henry Arthur Tenon, aged 62, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. His plea came with a caveat: Tenon agreed to testify against both Fernandez Saldana and Gardner, drawing clear lines of connection between the parties involved.    State Attorney Nelson, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the crime, declared, “Henry Tenon didn’t act in isolation. Mario Fernandez didn’t devise this alone. Shanna Gardner’s indictment underscores her pivotal involvement in Jared Bridegan’s calculated assassination.”    Post the murder, as media interest spiked, Gardner found refuge far from Florida in West Richland, Washington. She staunchly maintained her innocence in interactions with the media. Nevertheless, an arrest warrant for Gardner surfaced, underscoring the tumultuous nature of her relationship with Bridegan.    In a heart-wrenching statement, Gardner's parents, Shelli and Sterling Gardner, expressed their profound grief, emphasizing the significance of family during such challenging times. They lovingly supported their daughter and highlighted the challenges faced by the grandchildren amidst this media frenzy, urging respect for privacy.    For the Bridegan family, this revelation isn't an end but merely a chapter closed. Kristin Bridegan, still grieving, said, “Shanna’s arrest concludes a distressing chapter in our quest for justice for Jared. Yet, this is only the beginning. We anticipate a harrowing journey ahead but are determined to see justice served to its full extent.”    As the case unfolds, the world watches intently, anticipating further revelations and awaiting justice for a father whose life was taken all too soon.

A Pennsylvania woman has been handed a lengthy prison sentence for her involvement in a murder conspiracy that targeted her ex-boyfriend - a case that also involved enlisting her own son as the triggerman. Joyce Brown Rodriguez, 56, will spend a minimum of 20 years and a maximum of 40 years behind bars. The case revolved around the murder of Christopher Wilson, 52, who had dated Rodriguez for two years before the deadly incident. Rodriguez had pleaded guilty last December to one count of third-degree murder, criminal conspiracy, and other related charges stemming from the December 2020 shooting death of Wilson. Prosecutors from the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office revealed that Rodriguez conspired with her son, Khalill Saleem Brown, 34, to carry out the murder.  In July, Rodriguez testified against her own son in court. Khalill Saleem Brown was subsequently convicted of first-degree murder based largely on his mother's testimony. He now faces a life sentence in prison for his role in the murder. The murder conspiracy shocked the community, with Judge Finley describing Wilson's death as a "callous murder." Wilson's family expressed strong emotions during the trial, particularly directed towards Rodriguez for her actions after planning the murder.  Chynea Wilson said in a victim impact statement that she was outraged to learn Brown Rodriguez was responsible for her father’s death, especially after she comforted the family in the immediate hours after the shooting. “You had the audacity to walk up and hug me when you had your son murder my father. You were shameless, like a demonic person, acting like nothing had happened. For that, you deserve everything coming to you.” The motive behind the murder remains a mystery to the judge, who commented, "It makes no sense that anything that occurred here, in any way, should have led to you taking the life of Mr. Wilson." The investigation found that Wilson and Brown-Rodriguez had been romantically involved since 2018, but Wilson had ended the relationship. Upset, Brown-Rodriguez repeatedly called and texted Wilson before going to his workplace the day before the shooting. While sitting in the parking lot that day, she texted her son, Kahlill Brown, asking for his help. The next day, Brown-Rodriguez drove the two of them to Wilson’s workplace, parking in a corner of the lot. When Wilson got out of his car to talk to a co-worker, her son got out of the car and walked toward Wilson, she testified. She said she then heard several pops. Brown-Rodriguez then drove her son away from the scene. Cellphone evidence placed Brown near the crime scene at the time of the shooting. Khalill Saleem Brown, found guilty of first-degree murder, criminal conspiracy, firearms offenses, and other charges, is scheduled to be sentenced to life in prison next month.

The Brian Kohberger trial has seen a new twist in its tale, as the defense prepares to challenge the DNA evidence that may incriminate Kohberger. In the latest episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers", Tony Brueski spoke with former Felony Prosecutor and attorney, Eric Faddis, shedding light on the defense’s strategy and the risks it presents. Brueski started the episode discussing a new motion, an attempt to "compel the defense to persuade prosecutors to share various evidence," specifically surrounding DNA testing. Faddis pointed out that, at this juncture, the DNA evidence "could be terribly problematic for Kohlberg." He mentioned a potential reconsideration by the prosecution on using some of the genetic genealogy evidence. "All of this is gonna come down on Friday. We're gonna know a lot more then." The podcast discussed the key idea of "false positives" in DNA evidence. To the general public, the term can be misleading. "If there is anything that, like you said, any errors, any faultiness, but when it comes down to a false positive with DNA...the odds of that are slim to almost nothing whatsoever with the type of DNA they're testing," Brueski stated. He continued with an analogy, explaining that even if a key (representing DNA) is mishandled or gets dirty, it still opens the right door, indicating the DNA remains unchanged despite potential mishandling. Faddis brought a new perspective, suggesting that Kohberger’s defense might attempt to claim the DNA was planted, an accusation that would dramatically alter the course of the trial. If the defense could highlight any faults in the testing, it could strengthen their argument against the evidence's reliability. "If they're gonna try to use all of the... alleged faultiness in the testing to support a larger theory that this DNA evidence was planted," Faddis hypothesized. Taking the stance that the evidence was planted is significantly risky for the defense. Faddis clarified that such an argument is a double-edged sword. "That's a super risky argument to take," he said, "If you're gonna put that in front of a jury as a defense attorney, you better be able to back it up." Arguing that evidence was planted inherently suggests that the DNA was, in fact, from the client, thus removing the argument about testing reliability. Brueski pondered on the implications, "How risky is it to go down that road? ...to go down that road, is there a lot of risk involved to make such a claim?" Faddis responded with a resounding, "Oh heck yes." Arguing the DNA was planted implies not just that the evidence was mishandled but that there was a deliberate attempt to frame Kohberger. "It's a pretty tall accusation to make if you can't back it up," Faddis said, "and also that accusation... divests you of one additional argument." He emphasized the gravity of such a claim and the need for a competent attorney to carry it forward. The debate surrounding the DNA evidence, whether it's about its validity or potential mishandling, has added another layer of complexity to the Brian Kohberger case. As the motion to compel unfolds, all eyes will be on the courtroom to see how the defense navigates these treacherous waters and the direction the trial takes in the coming weeks.

In a deeply disturbing episode of police misconduct in Mississippi, six former white police officers entered guilty pleas on charges stemming from breaking into a home and torturing two Black residents. This shocking incident, which involved racial abuse, physical torture, and an attempted coverup, has raised concerns about the state of policing and racial biases in law enforcement. Incident Details and Background On January 24, Christian Dedmon, Hunter Elward, Brett McAlpin, Jeffrey Middleton, and Daniel Opdyke, all formerly affiliated with the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, along with Joshua Hartfield from the Richland Police Department, unlawfully invaded the residence where Michael Jenkins, 32, and Eddie Parker, 35, were living. The house belonged to Kristi Walley, a paralyzed woman whom Parker, a childhood friend, was assisting with care. This vile act was set into motion when Brett McAlpin, the chief investigator from the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, was informed about two Black men living at a property by his neighbor. Dedmon was asked to address this complaint. Based on the federal complaint secured by PEOPLE, Dedmon reached out to fellow officers Middleton, Elward, and Opdyke, infamously known as the “Goon Squad” due to their violent tendencies and a history of cover-ups. Through group messages, they plotted the attack, making sinister arrangements and instructions on how to avoid leaving evidence. Details of the Assault Upon arrival, they tactically maneuvered to avoid surveillance cameras and forcefully entered the residence. What transpired over the next two hours was nothing short of horrifying. Both Parker and Jenkins were tasered, handcuffed, and subjected to an unwarranted arrest. The officers engaged in a campaign of abuse which included kicking, berating the victims with racial slurs, inappropriate use of objects, and forcing both men to take showers to erase evidence of their abuse. As the ordeal continued, Jenkins endured a gunshot to his mouth that left him severely injured. Attempted Coverup The officers didn’t stop at physical abuse. In their attempt to cover their tracks, they hatched a plan involving planting drugs on Jenkins and fabricating a story about the shooting. Middleton even suggested placing a ‘throw-down’ gun on Jenkins. Repercussions and Reactions The aftermath of this gruesome incident has been significant. The attorney representing Parker and Jenkins, Malik Shabazz, remarked that these guilty pleas were "historic," highlighting this as the first time in Mississippi history that a white law enforcement officer faced criminal charges for misconduct against a Black person. Jenkins and Parker's trauma runs deep, with the actions of the officers leaving a lasting scar on the Rankin County community. Despite the tarnished reputation of the police force, Sheriff Bryan Bailey addressed the incident, stating that the actions of a few had tainted the entire department. Bailey, along with the former officers, is now facing a staggering $400-million lawsuit from the victims. Attorneys for the officers have made various statements, with many acknowledging the gravity of their client's actions and their readiness to face the consequences. Dedmon, Elward, McAlpin, and Middleton’s representatives have yet to comment. Conclusion This incident serves as a sobering reminder of the deep-seated issues of racial bias and police misconduct that persist in certain parts of the United States. As the story continues to gain traction, there is hope that this case will lead to systemic changes in the way policing is done and ensure that such heinous acts do not recur in the future.

Cory Fleming, a longtime friend and law school roommate of Alex Murdaugh, has been sentenced to 46 months in prison after admitting to assisting Murdaugh in defrauding millions from a wrongful death lawsuit settlement.    Fleming, 54, faced sentencing on Tuesday in South Carolina, following his guilty plea in May for federal conspiracy to commit wire fraud.    The case centers around the death of Gloria Satterfield, the Murdaugh family's late housekeeper, who allegedly suffered a fatal fall in 2018 after tripping over the Murdaugh's dogs. Fleming was instrumental in helping Murdaugh deceive the Satterfield family, defrauding them of upwards of $4.3 million intended as a settlement.    The scheme involved Murdaugh persuading the Satterfields to hire Fleming as their attorney and file a claim against him. The payout would be sourced from insurance on Murdaugh's property held with Lloyd's of London and Nautilus Insurance Group. The duo then orchestrated the creation of fictitious accounts, redirected the settlement money, and even falsified distribution documents to secure approval by a judge.    It was only after the tragic deaths of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh in 2021 that Tony Satterfield, a relative, uncovered the fraudulent multi-million-dollar payout. Although Fleming admitted to being aware of Murdaugh's intent to embezzle funds from the Satterfields, he claimed to have believed it would only amount to $100,000 in attorney's fees. Prosecutors, however, argue that Fleming may not have been fully aware of the breadth of Murdaugh's intentions.    The fallout from Fleming's involvement with Murdaugh continues. He is mandated to pay $102,000 in restitution, face a $20,000 fine, and will also serve three years of probation upon his release. Furthermore, Fleming is due to face an additional 23 state charges, 18 of which are connected to the Satterfield case, with a trial slated for September.    Alex Murdaugh is currently incarcerated, serving two consecutive life sentences for the murders of his wife and son. He still awaits trial on 100 other federal and state criminal charges. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Jessie Foster was the embodiment of youthful vigor and charisma. Glendene Grant, Jessie’s mother, recalls her as a teenager full of life, love, and laughter. Growing up in the quaint city of Kamloops, British Columbia, Jessie's childhood was marked by happiness and stability. She lived a stone's throw away from her school, surrounded by a tight-knit community. But as Jessie's journey into adulthood began, so did her quest for exploration and freedom.   In 2005, the allure of the United States beckoned. Jessie, then 20, decided to visit Florida, New York City, and Atlantic City. Her unexpected call from Las Vegas took her mother by surprise, revealing a sudden change of plans. Jessie would stay on to celebrate her 21st birthday in the city of sin.   But as days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, Jessie's return to Canada kept getting postponed. Phone calls filled with a multitude of excuses kept Glendene hopeful, but deep down she felt an unsettling void. Jessie had fallen in love with a man named Peter Todd. She even made a fleeting visit to Canada during Christmas, but her heart was set on returning to Las Vegas. That Christmas day was the last time Glendene saw her daughter in person.   The last call from Jessie came in late March 2006, after which she disappeared without a trace. Peter Todd, her boyfriend, claimed to have no idea about her whereabouts. With her personal belongings left behind and no concrete evidence of foul play, the police had little to go on.   Fast forward to 17 years later, Glendene is still holding onto the memories of her daughter. Despite the dark cloud of mystery shrouding Jessie's disappearance, she has a gut feeling that her daughter is still alive. That heartstring between a mother and child remains unbroken.   However, the waters of this cold case have been recently stirred. The arrest of the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann, has put the spotlight back on Jessie's case, and several others like it. Jessie, after all, had been in the dangerous world of prostitution in Las Vegas and had faced violence. Could her disappearance be connected to Heuermann, the man now at the center of multiple murder investigations?   The profile of Heuermann and his suspected crimes is disturbing. He is believed to have been involved in the deaths of several women, most of whom were escorts in Las Vegas. Between 2003 and 2006, five such women, including Jessie, disappeared or were found dead. Many of their bodies were dumped in desolate areas, wrapped in cloth. Could Heuermann be the serial killer behind these heinous crimes?   Tantalizing clues hint at this possibility. Heuermann had ties to Las Vegas, owning timeshares since 2004. Autopsy reports of his victims show eerie similarities between the Las Vegas cases and the Gilgo Beach murders. Both involved strangulation as the cause of death. Furthermore, the discovery of Lindsay Marie Harris's dismembered body in Springfield, Illinois, a location mentioned in Heuermann's bail application, added another layer of suspicion.   While the investigative trail is heating up, definitive evidence linking Heuermann to Jessie's disappearance remains. Glendene sees physical similarities between her daughter and another victim of Heuermann. But for now, it remains a haunting possibility. Whether or not Heuermann is behind Jessie’s disappearance, her case is back in the limelight, offering a glimmer of hope to her family.   As the net tightens around Rex Heuermann, many families wait with bated breath. The connections, though speculative, are hard to ignore. The answers to these families' agonizing questions for years might finally be within reach. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Australia, often known for its breathtaking landscapes, vast deserts, and unique wildlife, was recently gripped by a culinary mystery that sparked debates among its residents. The epicenter of this unsettling event was the quiet town of Leongatha, where a dinner party hosted by Erin Patterson took a dark turn that no one could have anticipated.   Erin Patterson, a resident of Leongatha, had painstakingly prepared a classic beef Wellington for her guests, a dish revered for its elegance and rich flavors. Beef Wellington, an English-origin dish, involves enveloping a tenderloin cut in flaky puff pastry and packing it with a savory blend known as duxelle. This blend typically combines mushrooms, thyme, and shallots, giving the dish its distinctive taste.   But as the night unfolded, it became evident that the beef Wellington on this occasion was no ordinary one.   Moments after Erin served her culinary masterpiece, her guests began experiencing severe symptoms. The room that was once filled with laughter and the clinking of glasses soon turned into a scene of panic and distress. Gail and Don Patterson, Erin's ex-husband's relatives, along with Heather Wilkinson, fell gravely ill. The tragedy escalated rapidly as the three of them, unfortunately, lost their lives that night. Two others, relatives by marriage to Erin's ex-husband, became critically ill. Heather Wilkinson's spouse, Ian, was rushed to a Melbourne hospital and is now on a waitlist for a liver transplant.   While many might be quick to presume that a poisoning of this magnitude was intentional, especially given that the deceased were closely related to Erin's ex-husband, the truth might be more complicated than it appears. What adds a layer of complexity is that Erin, along with her children, consumed a different meal that evening, leaving them untouched by the deadly ordeal.   In an emotional rendezvous with the Australian media, Erin, with tears in her eyes, expressed her sorrow. "I can't believe that this happened, and I am sorry that they have lost their lives," she expressed, her voice filled with disbelief. "I just can't fathom what happened."   Later, Erin admitted to having misled the authorities initially, yet she fervently reiterated her innocence. She said, "I am now devastated to think that these mushrooms may have contributed to the illness suffered by my loved ones." She further emphasized that she had no conceivable motive to harm those she dearly loved.   But what could have turned a luxurious dish into a deadly weapon? The answer might lie in the variety of mushrooms Erin used. The 'death cap' mushrooms are infamous for their toxic properties. Consuming even a small amount can result in serious illness or death. Such mushrooms resemble several edible varieties, which can lead to tragic misidentifications.   However, skepticism around Erin's innocence grew after it was discovered that her ex-husband, Simon, had previously fallen into a coma from a mysterious stomach illness. This illness was linked to a meal Erin had served him.   While Erin remains a person of interest in this ongoing investigation, it's crucial to underscore the dangers associated with wild mushrooms. Foraging and consuming them without expert knowledge is a game of Russian roulette. Death cap mushrooms, for instance, are lethal, and their toxins can cause severe liver damage or death. They serve as a grim reminder that nature, though bountiful, can be treacherous if not approached with caution.   As Australia continues to reel from this tragic incident, it's imperative to raise awareness about the hazards of wild mushrooms.

As the small college town of Idaho grapples with the haunting memories of a quadruple homicide, the spotlight shifts to a significant courtroom proceeding. This Thursday, Bryan Kohberger, the central accused in the case, will stand before an Idaho judge, seeking a dismissal of his indictment. With the weight of four young lives hanging in the balance, the arguments set forth by his defense team could make or break the trajectory of this trial.   Bryan Kohberger's indictment paints a grim image – a doctoral student allegedly using a hunting knife to end the lives of four University of Idaho students in an off-campus residence. Yet, as per documents accessed by RadarOnline.com, Kohberger's defense led by the assertive attorney, Anne C. Taylor, is poised to challenge this narrative at its very foundation.   The Crux of the Defense's Argument At the heart of the defense's claim is an accusation that the grand jury process was fundamentally flawed. Taylor contends that the jury, responsible for charging Kohberger was "misled as to the standard of proof required for an indictment." Such an allegation, if substantiated, can have profound implications on the legitimacy of the proceedings.   Moreover, the defense has spotlighted an alleged mishandling of the grand jury selection process. Taylor claims that Latah County prosecutors unduly limited the pool of prospective jurors exposed to the evidence. She emphasizes that such limitations might have inadvertently affected the outcome of the jury selection and, by extension, the indictment. Furthermore, Taylor alludes to other unspecified "irregularities" in the grand jury process, suggesting a more intricate web of issues that demand investigation.   Location, DNA, and the Quest for Truth   An essential facet of Kohberger's defense hinges on his whereabouts during the ill-fated night. While the defense team has kept the specifics under wraps, they are emphatic about Kohberger being "at a location other than the King Road address" when the gruesome incident transpired. Such a claim, if validated, could dismantle the prosecution's narrative.   The DNA evidence, arguably the most crucial piece linking Kohberger to the crime, is under intense scrutiny. With the forensic link hinging on a hunting knife sheath reportedly bearing Kohberger's DNA, Taylor is leaving no stone unturned. Thursday’s hearing will serve as a platform for Taylor’s pressing motion to gain access to all communication and documentation pertinent to the DNA analysis. This includes extensive correspondence between detectives and forensic experts, alongside comprehensive reports from labs involved in the DNA evaluation. Notably, Taylor's request also extends to data where ‘unknown’ male profiles were identified, indicating a strategy to contest the exclusivity of the DNA match.   Looking Ahead   As the date for Kohberger's trial looms closer in October, the defense's arguments raise pivotal questions. If these allegations bear weight, they could radically alter the course of the trial. It is a stark reminder that while the quest for justice is paramount, the sanctity of the judicial process is equally critical. As the community seeks closure, Thursday's hearing will undoubtedly be a watershed moment in this heart-wrenching saga. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The recent episode of "Hidden Killers," a renowned podcast hosted by Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole, focused on the controversial case of the Gilgo Beach murders. As the hosts discussed, the accused murderer, Rex Heuermann, who has been finger-pointed for these horrendous crimes, remains innocent until proven guilty. The hosts, however, made it clear that the opinions presented were those of John Ray, an attorney representing some of the victims' families, and not of the podcast.   John Ray's statements were brought into focus primarily because they sometimes contradict popular opinion. Tony mentioned, "When you see a case like this, you identify immediately, you know, the victims." Often, society marginalizes and denigrates the victims because of their professions. Stacy Cole noted that the world's oldest profession, alluding to prostitution, has been around for a long time. Both hosts firmly believe that no matter the profession, no one ever deserves to be a victim of such heinous acts.   Tony reflected on the societal bias against the victims, which possibly contributed to the prolonged time taken to solve the case. He mentioned that the victims were often seen as "society's lesser", leading their cases to be put on the back burner. Stacy added that unless there are families or loved ones pushing for answers and justice, such cases often go unnoticed.   Enter John Ray. Having represented some of the victim families for nearly a decade, Ray has had significant involvement in this case, even before Rex  Heuermann's name surfaced. Ray's current focus, according to the hosts, is on Asa, Rex's wife. Tony stated, "I think they're fair questions to be asked" while discussing potential connections to Rex's alleged crimes.   Tony and Stacy discussed how in many instances, the families of accused individuals are often seen as victims. Drawing parallels with the BTK killer's family, Tony emphasized that just because one family was unaware doesn't mean that's the case for every serial killer's family.   A point of contention was a GoFundMe account for Asa's family. Tony revealed research suggesting that the family's net worth may range between $5 to $7 million, putting into question the need for such a fundraiser. "Is it truly going to a place of good?" Tony questioned.   John Ray's opinion on the matter was that Asa seems to be "playing a con game," implying that there might be hidden motives behind her raising funds. Ray's most controversial point was regarding the possibility that Asa might have had knowledge about Rex's affiliations with sex workers.   Tony wrapped up the discussion by reiterating that these are just opinions and official evidence is still pending. Both hosts were united in their emphasis on caution and the importance of verifying information before concluding.   As the Gilgo Beach murders case continues to unfold, "Hidden Killers" sheds light on various perspectives, ensuring that listeners remain informed from all angles. The podcast serves as a reminder that in a world filled with gray areas, staying informed and open-minded is paramount. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

On a somber day, March 25th, Herbert Swilley, a dedicated Florida handyman, took to social media to reveal a heart-wrenching truth. "My dearest friend and partner," as he fondly called Timothy Floyd Smith, had met an unexpected demise. "This has been one of the most painful revelations I've ever had to convey," he wrote about his husband of close to eight years, with a heart heavy with sorrow.   According to Ocala StarBanner, the tragic discovery of Smith’s lifeless body was made shortly after 11 a.m. on that fateful day. Situated in the tranquil Citrus Park neighborhood of Ocala, deputies from the Marion County Sheriff's Office found Smith, an esteemed executive director of a renowned senior living community. The preliminary investigation painted a grim picture. The Ocala StarBanner reported that Smith "had endured a violent assault" leading up to his untimely death.   In the aftermath of this shocking incident, Swilley, proprietor of a local handyman service, sought community support. Launching a GoFundMe campaign, he aimed to procure funds for Smith’s funeral, a "celebration of life," and to manage impending financial obligations. The campaign managed to secure $2,235, a fraction of the targeted $7,500.   However, the plot thickened when the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, on a subsequent Tuesday, identified Swilley as a potential suspect in Smith’s tragic killing. The revelation was all the more poignant as, on that very day, Swilley had taken to Facebook to express his yearning, noting, “I miss you every day and wish you were beside me.”   A statement from the sheriff's office further illuminated the ongoing investigation. "In the early stages, detectives engaged Mr. Swilley. Despite subsequent attempts to resume this dialogue, his legal counsel has emphasized that he'd only entertain discussions if assured immunity against charges related to Timothy’s death."   Adding another layer to this enigmatic case is the involvement of Jordan Swilley, Herbert’s offspring. The sheriff's office has earmarked her as a person of interest. Their statement disclosed, "While Jordan provided an initial account, she has since chosen to remain reticent."   To date, no charges have materialized. Efforts to contact the legal representatives of both Herbert and Jordan Swilley remained unsuccessful. Sheriff Billy Woods, addressing the community, stated, "In light of Herbert and Jordan’s reluctance to further cooperate, we turn to the community, hopeful that someone possesses knowledge instrumental to unraveling this mystery."   Authorities have amplified their plea, urging citizens to recall and report any peculiarities surrounding Smith’s activities or insights into the relationship dynamics between Timothy and Herbert. In an effort to stimulate community involvement, a substantial reward of $14,500 is being offered for leads that pave the way to the perpetrator's apprehension.   Recollections from colleagues depict a regular day for Smith on March 23. As reported by Villages-News.com, he attended his duties at Brookdale Chambrel Pinecastle, a reputable assisted living and memory care establishment in Ocala. Alarm bells rang the following day when he uncharacteristically missed work. This culminated in the tragic discovery on March 25th, instigated by an anonymous welfare check request.   Sheriff Woods, speaking to the relentless dedication of his team, shared, "The relentless pursuit of my detectives paints a theory suggesting that this wasn't a random act. The heinous crime seems to be the handiwork of an acquaintance."   Against the backdrop of this investigation, Swilley’s social media posts reverberate with expressions of his profound love for Smith. On April 2nd, Swilley's message conveyed an invitation to Smith’s memorial, urging attendees to don purple attire, a sentimental nod to their wedding. He reminisced, "Timothy cherished this hue. Our wedding theme revolved around it. He perpetually sported vibrant shades."   Further posts showcased Swilley's poignant commemorations of significant dates. On August 1st, he remembered Smith's would-be 60th birthday, articulating his deep-seated grief and eternal love. By August 8th, he was reminiscing their eight-year journey, expressing hope in Smith's ethereal presence.   Those with insights, even seemingly inconsequential, are encouraged to contact Marion County Crime Stoppers at (352) 368-STOP. The community's hope remains buoyed, awaiting the pivotal tip that could open this complex case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

"Phantom Matches" in DNA Analysis: A Rare Anomaly or a Legal Red Herring? The world of forensic science has been revolutionary in transforming our justice system, offering unparalleled precision and clarity when it comes to solving crimes. Central to this revolution is DNA analysis, often lauded as the gold standard of evidence. However, as with any tool of such power and impact, it's open to scrutiny. The latest contention in this field has emerged in the form of "phantom matches." But how pervasive are these anomalies? Are they a genuine cause for concern, or could they be a strategy to confuse and mislead juries?   Unraveling the Science of DNA Matches   Before diving into the debate, it's crucial to understand how DNA matches work. DNA samples from crime scenes are compared to samples in a database. A match indicates a genetic relationship. The degree of certainty of these matches can often be astronomically high, suggesting that the probability of a random match is virtually impossible.   The Rarity of "Phantom Matches"   The term "phantom matches" suggests the presence of DNA matches that are illusory or erroneous. While no system can claim to be 100% foolproof, it's important to underscore that the instances of such mismatches in forensic databases are exceedingly rare. DNA analysis, particularly when conducted by accredited forensic laboratories, follows stringent protocols to ensure accuracy.   Commercial databases, like AncestryDNA or 23andMe, cater to a different audience, primarily individuals curious about their genealogical roots. However, even in these contexts, the likelihood of phantom matches is minimal. It's pivotal to understand that the science behind these tests, while not forensic in intent, still adheres to rigorous scientific principles.   Legal Strategy vs. Scientific Credibility   In high-stakes trials, defense teams will understandably explore every avenue to vindicate their clients. Introducing the idea of "phantom matches" can be a strategy to sow doubt in the minds of jurors. After all, in the legal realm, reasonable doubt can be the line between conviction and acquittal.   But when these claims are held up to scrutiny, do they stand on solid ground? Arguably, in many instances, they do not. Dr. Greg Hamikian's example, cited by the defense, where a suspect was erroneously identified but later exonerated, is more an exception than a rule. It's essential to recognize that while errors can occur, they are the outliers in an otherwise robust system.   Navigating the Murky Waters of Doubt   The defense's responsibility is to challenge the prosecution's narrative, and invoking the possibility of phantom matches does just that. However, presenting these matches as a widespread flaw in DNA analysis can be misleading. It shifts the focus from the overwhelming majority of accurate, reliable results to a minute subset of rare anomalies.   Jurors, who may not be familiar with the intricacies of DNA analysis, could be unduly swayed by the specter of these "phantom matches." It's crucial, then, for the prosecution and expert witnesses to demystify the science, laying out the rarity of these anomalies and reinforcing the reliability of the forensic DNA analysis process.   Conclusion While the legal system is adversarial by design, with both sides presenting their arguments passionately, it's essential not to let potent terms like "phantom matches" overshadow the robustness and reliability of DNA analysis. While vigilance is vital and questioning is a cornerstone of justice, it's equally crucial to recognize when a term is being used more for its shock value than its genuine scientific relevance. The justice system's integrity relies on evidence-based decisions, and DNA analysis, despite its rare anomalies, remains a stalwart pillar of truth in this pursuit.

A cloud of mystery and suspicion surrounds the case of Oakley Carlson, a 6-year-old girl from Oakville, Washington, who has not been seen since early 2021. As more details about her family's life come to light, serious concerns about the child's safety have intensified.   Oakley Carlson's "last credible sighting" occurred on February 10, 2021. However, her parents, Andrew Carlson and Jordan Bowers, reported to the Grays County Sheriff’s Office that their last encounter with Oakley was much later, on November 30, 2021. By December of that year, she was reported missing. Officials handling the case have labeled her disappearance and the associated details as "suspicious."   Diving deeper, the Grays County Sheriff’s Office has termed the nature of Oakley’s disappearance as "criminal." In the ongoing investigation, both Bowers and Carlson have emerged as the primary persons of interest. Their history presents several troubling allegations.   Among the chief concerns is an alarming claim that Bowers and Carlson allegedly deprived Oakley's sibling of essential medicine for an extended period, around 15 months. According to the Sheriff’s Office, this medicine was imperative for the child's physical well-being, and the lack thereof put her at significant risk, even possibly leading to a fatal outcome.   The recent publication of an opinion by the Washington State Court of Appeals on August 1 has further spotlighted the couple's questionable history with their children. This release followed after the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office sought the court's permission to access juvenile records connected to Bowers and Carlson's offspring.   The court document revealed that since April 2013, the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) has undertaken 11 in-depth investigations into the family. This included eight distinct cases that involved allegations ranging from domestic violence to drug use, abuse, and significant medical neglect.   One particular concern involved Oakley’s sibling, referred to as DC in court documents, who suffers from a rare genetic syndrome resulting in a developmental disability. This condition necessitates daily injections for the child. Past accusations pointed towards Bowers' untreated mental health issues and a neglect to seek services for the child back in June 2017. Despite initial probes by the DCYF, there was no extended investigation as the intake was "screened out."   Matters became more alarming a month later when another report surfaced, alleging the lack of medicine for DC, coupled with allegations of domestic violence and methamphetamine use within the home. Following these revelations, Oakley and DC were separated and put under different care, while another sibling was placed under the custody of his biological father.   In a concerning development from January 2021, officials received inputs about visible scratches and bruises on Oakley's face. When questioned, Bowers and Carlson demonstrated a blatant lack of cooperation. Furthermore, prior to Oakley's disappearance, Bowers reportedly informed Oakley’s school about a fire at their residence, which she alleged Oakley started. Upon school authorities visiting Oakley’s residence, the child was conspicuously absent.   The parents' narrative has been inconsistent. They have suggested that they simply "lost track" of Oakley, with Carlson eventually reporting her missing in December. Contradicting their account, Oakley’s grandfather claimed he hadn't seen the child since Christmas 2020. Following these murky claims, both Carlson and Bowers were apprehended for obstruction.   Disturbing insights from DC highlighted the severity of the situation. DC disclosed to authorities that Oakley had ignited the house fire using her mother’s torch and was subsequently subjected to physical abuse as punishment. DC's testimony further indicated potential locations for Oakley, suggesting she might have been "under her mother’s bed or in the woods." Furthermore, she voiced fears for Oakley and another sibling, JC, strongly implying they were "not safe in their mother’s care."   Another sibling, referred to as BB-P in legal documents, backed up these claims, suggesting a history of abuse by Bowers towards Oakley and JC. A particularly chilling revelation indicated that Oakley was occasionally confined in a locked 'cell' beneath the staircase.   In an unrelated development, KCPQ-TV confirmed that Bowers was sentenced on August 7 in a separate identity theft case, which has no links to her daughter’s puzzling disappearance.   With layers of complexity, this case is a chilling reminder of the often-unseen troubles lurking beneath the surface in many households. As investigations continue, the primary hope remains the safe discovery and return of Oakley Carlson. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Last Friday, a thorough reenactment of the tragic 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was conducted in an unprecedented move. This initiative, which had stirred significant interest and discussion among the public and the media, had been organized as part of a civil lawsuit against the then-deputy Scot Peterson and his employing body, the Broward Sheriff’s Office. The unfortunate incident in 2018 had seen 17 innocent lives lost and another 17 injured within a mere six minutes. AP News had informed that specialized ballistics experts, engaged by the families of the victims, led the reenactment. A key objective of that exercise was to meticulously record the sound of gunfire from various locations outside the school. This helped simulate the auditory environment Peterson was in, enabling a clearer understanding of what he might have heard during the terrifying ordeal. Previously, in June, a court verdict had found Scot Peterson not guilty of felony neglect, among other charges related to his perceived inaction during the tragedy. Notably, he had been the first law enforcement officer to be charged with child neglect in the capacity of a “caregiver.” Prosecutors had argued that his role as the school resource officer mandated him to safeguard the school's populace. Peterson’s defense had centered around the claim that he could not distinctly hear or locate the source of the gunshots due to echoing sounds. He had mentioned that he had approached the building, weapon drawn, but then chose to withdraw. According to him, he had taken cover next to a nearby structure and remained engaged in radio communication for a significant duration of 40 minutes. Peterson had firmly stated that had he been certain of the shooter's location within the building, he would have taken immediate action. The families behind the civil suit had offered a stark contrast in perspective. They believed that Peterson was well aware of the shooter's whereabouts but chose to retreat, possibly out of fear, thereby neglecting his sworn duty. Tony Montalto, president of Stand with Parkland and a grieving father whose 14-year-old daughter Gina was a victim of the shooting, had stated, “While Peterson might have been cleared of criminal charges, it in no way absolves him of the responsibility to act rightfully.” Montalto had further stressed, “This reenactment aims to challenge and potentially debunk certain statements made during the criminal trial.” An important development had been the announcement by Circuit Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips on July 12. While she had permitted the attorneys from both sides to produce a video based on the reenactment, she had remained non-committal on its use during the trial. As of then, the trial date had remained undecided. The reenactment had promised to be precise. Experts were slated to fire up to 139 live rounds within a three-story classroom building, mirroring the shooter's actions using an identical AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle. To ensure complete safety during that exercise, all bullets were captured using a specialized safety apparatus. However, questions about the audio accuracy had been raised. Robert Maher, an expert from Montana State University, had mentioned to AP News that the reenactment might not capture the true essence of gunfire sounds. According to him, real-life gunfire sounds are piercingly sharp, something that speakers might not have been able to reproduce perfectly. Professor Tamara Lave from the University of Miami Law had offered an insightful observation: the deciding factor for Judge Phillips would be whether the reenactment provided a "fair and accurate" representation of what Peterson might have heard. The reenactment's announcement had generated mixed reactions. Parkland had informed its residents, with some expressing deep concern about potential trauma, as noted by Newsweek. Sarah Franco, director of Eagles’ Haven, a community wellness center established post the shooting, had emphasized the importance of collective healing. They had offered various activities, such as yoga and tai chi, aimed at providing solace to those affected.  Concluding the reenactment, Broward County Public Schools has announced its plan to dismantle the building, marking the end of a painful chapter in its history.

In a grim twist of events, the community of Maryland was rocked by the shocking discovery of a local mother's body on the renowned MA & PA Heritage Trail. Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old mother of five, and known fitness aficionado, went missing on Saturday, only to be tragically found dead a day later. As the search for her assailant intensifies, law enforcement and the community join hands, seeking any clues that might provide answers.   The Disappearance and Distressing Discovery Rachel was last seen embarking on a routine evening trail run, an activity she relished. Richard Tobin, her recently announced boyfriend, reported her missing late Saturday night, revealing to the authorities that she left their home around 6 p.m. for her run but never returned.   Upon investigation, Sheriff Jeffery Gahler of the Harford County Sheriff's Office informed the press that Rachel's car was located, still parked at the trailhead. But there was no sign of Rachel. "Her car was there, but she was not," Sheriff Gahler gravely noted, acknowledging the immediate concern this brought to her family.   The community rallied, with countless volunteers joining the official search parties. It was one of these volunteers who, on Sunday, stumbled upon the chilling sight of Rachel's body off the trail. The scene left detectives with undeniable "indicators" pointing towards murder, leading Sheriff Gahler to sadly declare, "It’s a homicide case."   The Aftermath and Public Plea   In the wake of Rachel's death, law enforcement has intensified their investigation. "Right now, detectives continue to work the case as aggressively as they possibly can. We will leave no stone unturned," assured Sheriff Gahler. The police have maintained a consistent presence along the trail, warning hikers to remain vigilant and cautious as the manhunt continues.   The Harford County Sheriff's Office has been active on social media, urging anyone present on the MA & PA Trail on Saturday, or residents living near the trailhead with external security cameras, to come forward with any photographs or videos. These might offer pivotal insights or clues into the unsolved crime.   Community and Boyfriend Respond   Richard Tobin, who went 'Facebook official' with Rachel at the start of August, addressed the community through social media. He passionately pleaded, "I love Rachel, I would never do anything to her. Let the family and I grieve." Touching upon his past, Tobin highlighted his personal growth, stating he's been "15 months clean" and has evolved as an individual.   The Morin family's plight doesn't end with Rachel's untimely death. A mere week before this incident, Rachel’s niece, baby Lily Beth, tragically passed away due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The little angel, not even four months old at the time of her demise, left a void in the Morin family's heart, as described in her obituary.   In light of these back-to-back heartbreaks, the Morins, who are grappling with immeasurable grief, have initiated a GoFundMe campaign. The purpose is twofold: to help cover Rachel's funeral costs and to provide financial support for her five children. It's significant to note that Rachel did not have a life insurance policy. On the fundraising platform, Rebekah Morin, Rachel's sister, poignantly penned, "She deserves a funeral worthy of her beauty."   Additionally, Rachel’s sister Rebekah has shared a separate GoFundMe link on her social media, seeking contributions for their brother Nathan, Lily Beth's grieving father.

Las Vegas, NV - Thomas Randolph, notoriously dubbed the "Black Widower" due to the suspicious deaths of four out of his six wives, is once again under the piercing gaze of the legal system. This 65-year-old Nevada resident, previously sentenced to death in 2017, had his conviction reversed. While no longer on death row, Randolph remains in custody as the anticipation for his retrial grows, echoing sentiments from two decades of intertwined love, death, and suspicions.    For many, Randolph's story strikes a chord due to the eerie pattern surrounding his marriages. Four wives met untimely deaths, and life insurance payouts followed two of those tragedies.    In the 2017 trial, prosecutors accused Randolph of orchestrating the death of his sixth wife, Sharon Causse, and a man named Michael James Miller. Allegedly, Randolph paid Miller to murder Causse to claim over $360,000 from a life insurance policy. Randolph consistently rebuts these claims, recounting how he found his wife shot dead by Miller. According to him, he fatally shot Miller in self-defense.    While the jury's skepticism of Randolph's version is clear, their distrust was further fueled by a grim episode from 1986. Randolph's second wife, Becky Gault, was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Although acquitted, the court allowed the jury to consider evidence from that case, including a substantial $500,000 life insurance inheritance.    December 9 marked a turning point as the Nevada Supreme Court concluded that the jury should not have been presented with evidence from the 1986 case. Consequently, Randolph's conviction was overturned, paving the way for a new trial.    Reacting with evident glee to the court's decision, Randolph expressed his relief on the "Killer Genes" podcast, stating, "I'm just as happy as can be because as I've told everybody - I didn't do this."    Yet, a closer look at Randolph's marital history unveils a tangled web of relationships marked by death and suspicion:    Kathryn Thomas (Alive): Thomas, his first wife, testified that Randolph threatened her life during their marriage. Despite residing peacefully in Utah, allegations swirled that he once sought a hitman for her assassination.    Becky Gault (Deceased, 1986): While Randolph claims she committed suicide, a witness testified he was approached by Randolph to murder Gault.    Gayna Allmon (Alive): Allmon's testimony against Randolph portrayed him as a looming threat, recounting an instance when a gun discharged while he cleaned it in her presence.    Francis (Deceased, 2004): Francis died under suspicious circumstances. Allegedly, Randolph conspired to murder her in a trailer, a plan that fell through because the would-be accomplice feared Randolph would turn on him. After her death, Randolph immediately cremated her, later receiving settlements from both a hospital and her life insurance policy.    Leona Stapleton (Deceased): Randolph reportedly shared with friends and family that cancer claimed Stapleton's life. The details remain shrouded in mystery.    Sharon Causse (Deceased, 2008): The crux of the upcoming trial. Randolph's account of finding her dead, then shooting the assailant, Michael James Miller, has been met with skepticism, especially given the substantial life insurance payout he received after her death.    Yet, as Randolph revels in the decision, not all share his enthusiasm. Causse's daughter, Colleen Beyer, candidly voiced her frustration, "Everybody needs to know he's guilty... He did it. There is no doubt. I'm really mad, I'm really angry with this system."    Randolph's story is a convoluted tale of love, betrayal, and death, now on the precipice of another trial.

In the annals of crime, the Susan Smith case from Union, South Carolina, has stood out as one of the most heartbreaking and chilling incidents in recent memory. 1994 the unimaginable occurred when Smith's young sons, three-year-old Michael and one-year-old Alex, met a tragic end.   The Heartbreaking Truth Behind The Tragedy Initially, Susan Smith spun a harrowing tale, claiming that an unidentified Black man had carjacked her vehicle with her sons inside. The nation was gripped with fear and sympathy. But as the investigation progressed, a more sinister reality surfaced. In a heinous act, Susan had fastened her young children into their car seats and, with cold precision, released her car into a lake, leading to their drowning.   The motive behind such a horrifying act was allegedly an affair gone wrong. Susan's partner at the time ended the relationship, reportedly because he did not desire children. Although Susan vehemently denied the affair being the cause and, in a letter years later, described her actions as unplanned, stating she "was not in her right mind."   The Deception Unveiled Her deceitfulness didn't end there. After the incident, Susan, alongside her then-husband, David, made televised pleas, requesting their children's return, amplifying the situation's anguish.   After her arrest, her defense argued for leniency, pointing to potential mental health struggles. Susan was saved from the death penalty but was handed a life sentence.   The Controversy of Potential Parole In November 2024, Susan Smith will become eligible for parole, which has polarized opinions and reignited the emotional wounds of the past. Family members, alongside the general public, largely lean against her release. One relative stated, "She's exactly where she needs to be."   Life Behind Bars Susan's incarceration at the Leath Correctional Institution in Greenwood, South Carolina, hasn't been free from controversies. Originally confined in Columbia's Women's Correctional Center, Susan had to be relocated to Leath following a series of scandals. She's been far from an exemplary inmate, with multiple infractions for self-harm, drug use, and more.   Perhaps more shocking are revelations of Susan's relationships with prison guards. The New York Post reports that Susan's time in prison has been a tumultuous roller coaster of misconduct. In a notorious 2000 incident, a liaison with a 50-year-old guard, Houston Cagle, left her with an STD. Cagle faced a three-month prison term for his involvement. A year later, a prison captain admitted to having intimate relations with Susan, which led to a five-year probation for him.   Susan's troubles inside continued, with disciplinary actions against her in 2010 and 2015 due to drug-related offenses. These indiscretions led to a significant curtailing of her prison privileges.   The Drug Nexus in Prison Former inmates have spoken out about the internal drug nexus. A past cellmate, Christie Smith, alleged that Susan compensated her for smuggling drugs. Another ex-inmate, Stephanie Hulsey, gave insight into inmates' crafty methods to sneak in pills, often hiding them within their cheeks to elude guards.   The Road Ahead As Susan Smith's parole date looms, debates rage on her possible reintegration into society. Given the severity of her crimes, coupled with her prison behavior, many argue against her release. Whatever the decision, the tragic story of Michael and Alex serves as a somber reminder of the depths of human deceit and tragedy. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the wake of the tragic Uvalde school shooting in 2022, Texas communities are still reeling. The wounds of the past were freshened when news emerged of a potential subsequent threat. Nathan Cruz, a 17-year-old relative of the previous gunman, Salvador Ramos, was apprehended on charges of planning a similarly heinous act.   The heartbreaking event from last year witnessed the loss of 21 innocent lives at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. Salvador Ramos, the perpetrator of the attack, had used an AR-15-style weapon to fatally injure 19 students and two dedicated educators on May 24, 2022. The community, and indeed the nation, mourned this senseless act of violence, remembering the victims with flowers, candles, and a memorial erected outside the school.   Fast-forward to the present day, and the shadow of the tragedy still lingers. Recent reports indicate that Nathan Cruz, Ramos' own cousin, harbored intentions of mirroring his relative's atrocious crime. The evidence against Cruz, obtained by WOAI, includes a chilling confession to his sister, where he expressed the desire to "do the same thing" as Ramos. Concerned about her brother's intentions, she confided in their mother, who later overheard Cruz attempting to illegally acquire an AR-15, the same style of weapon used in the Uvalde massacre.   In an era where vigilance is paramount, the quick action of Cruz's mother, who alerted the police about her son's alarming intentions, likely averted another catastrophe. Sgt. Washington Moscoso of the San Antonio Police Department expressed his relief to The New York Times, stating, “God knows what could have happened. Because she did the right thing, this individual has been arrested.” Adding to the community's unease is the revelation that Cruz resides directly opposite a San Antonio elementary school. KSAT brought to light the geographical proximity, deepening concerns over what might have been had his mother not intervened. In response to the emerging situation, Edgewood ISD released a statement highlighting its unwavering commitment to safety: "Edgewood ISD has been made aware a teenager is now in police custody accused of making a threat against a school on the city’s west side. Edgewood ISD is dedicated to the safety and well-being of all students, faculty, and staff. Each campus benefits from an assigned Safety Officer. We encourage everyone to remain vigilant and to promptly report any suspicious activity. Our message remains clear: if you see something, say something."   Court documents reveal that Nathan Cruz is facing a felony charge for threatening a public place with terroristic intent. Additionally, he is charged with a misdemeanor for threats made against a family member.   The repercussions of the Uvalde tragedy emphasize the importance of community vigilance, open communication, and the need for preemptive action. It serves as a somber reminder that, while the act may end, the ripples continue to affect those connected to the perpetrator and the broader community. Efforts toward understanding, healing, and prevention are crucial in the wake of such events.   For comprehensive coverage on this and related stories, visit the original article at Star-Telegram.

In a recent, chilling discovery, Negasi Zuberi, 29, was arrested for his alleged involvement in the harrowing kidnapping of a woman he confined in a makeshift cinder block cell within his Oregon home's garage. This terrifying incident highlights Zuberi's extensive history of alleged violent acts and misdemeanors, spreading across multiple states and affecting countless lives.   Oregon Incident: The Terrifying Escape According to authorities, Zuberi lured the woman into captivity after posing as an undercover police officer in Seattle. He then drove her hundreds of miles away to Klamath Falls, Oregon, where he locked her up in what the FBI’s Portland Field Office described as a "makeshift" concrete cell.   In a testament to her willpower and determination to survive, the woman managed to escape, albeit with bloodied hands, after beating down the cell door. Stephanie Shark, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Portland field office, stated, "According to the complaint, this woman was kidnapped, chained, sexually assaulted, and locked in a cinderblock cell. Her quick thinking and will to survive may have saved other women from a similar nightmare.”   Zuberi’s Alarming Past Delving into Zuberi's past, we uncover a series of alarming incidents that paint a portrait of a man with a penchant for violence and manipulation. In July 2020, Alycia Westfall, Zuberi's wife, detailed in a request for a protective order his alleged violent actions towards her and their two children. Westfall stated, "He screams at the kids and me, threatens me verbally, financially and mentally abusive to all of us.” She also shared that Zuberi took control of her finances, took her phone, and even escalated violence when she attempted to involve the police.   However, the protective order was temporarily granted, requiring Zuberi to maintain a 100-yard distance from Westfall and their children. Despite the evidence, the order was mysteriously dismissed in September 2020, with no recorded reasoning.   Moreover, before his Oregon arrest, Zuberi's reputation was far from clean. He's been associated with previous assault accusations, eviction proceedings, and has lived in numerous states since 2016, making his track record complex and concerning. Court records have uncovered multiple complaints against him, hinting at a pattern of abusive behavior.   In California, Zuberi, who went under multiple aliases including Justin Kouassi, Justin Joshua Hyche, and Sakima Zuberi, faced a restraining order filed by a woman accusing him of domestic violence. As reported by NBC News, the woman claimed he had threatened and physically abused her and her children.   Records from Colorado paint a similar picture. Under the name Justin Kouassi, he was reportedly accused of physical assault, leading to the issuance of an arrest warrant.   Abishek Kandar, a previous landlord from Vancouver, Washington, described his problematic tenancy. Zuberi had allegedly defaulted on rent for half a year, engaged in illegal subletting, and had even purportedly threatened neighbors. Reflecting on his experiences with Zuberi, Kandar didn’t mince his words: “He is a horrible person. He deserves to be in jail.”   The Web of Deception Zuberi's intricate web of deception extends further than his aliases. Investigators suspect that he utilized various tactics to control his victims, including pretending to be a law enforcement officer, drugging their drinks, or seeking out sex workers only to assault them. Disturbingly, some assaults might have been filmed under the guise of consensual activities.   Evidence gathered from Zuberi's Klamath Falls residence indicated meticulous planning on his part. A note titled "Operation Take Over" included instructions such as "Leave phone at home" and guidelines for selecting potential victims. Moreover, sketches of what seemed to be an underground structure with details like "foam insulation" and "waterproof concrete" further hinted at his sinister intentions.   Given the breadth of his alleged offenses, authorities are urging any potential victims across the states he has resided – which include California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Alabama, and Nevada – to step forward. Zuberi's case underscores the importance of vigilance, both in personal safety and in ensuring that justice is relentlessly pursued. The brave woman who managed to escape his grasp not only saved herself but potentially prevented future atrocities. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Bryan Kohberger's, 'I like to drive at night' defense may seem weak to most. But he's not the only one who has offered an alibi that makes little to no sense. Here's a look at some of the other dumbest alibis in history.  The "Twinkie Defense" (Dan White, 1978) Description: The 1978 murders of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk shook the nation. The man responsible, Dan White, was a former San Francisco Board of Supervisors member. At his trial, the defense attorney presented a unique argument suggesting that White's consumption of junk food, particularly Twinkies, was symptomatic of his severe depression. This was not to argue that the Twinkies caused his actions but to highlight his compromised mental state. The media latched onto this defense aspect and dubbed it the "Twinkie defense," a name stuck in popular culture. While the defense might seem trivial or laughable, its implications were anything but. Using this argument of diminished capacity, White was convicted of voluntary manslaughter instead of first-degree murder. The public reacted strongly, leading to the White Night riots in San Francisco. The case and its outcome had a lasting impact on legal discussions about responsibility, mental health, and how they're addressed in the courtroom. The "Dog Ate My Homework" Defense (Andrew Zieleniewski, 1993) Description: Andrew Zieleniewski's defense during his murder trial in the UK was reminiscent of an oft-used childhood excuse: that his dog had consumed his homework, and he was at home during the crime's occurrence, trying to retrieve it. This alibi might seem almost humorous in its simplicity, but its utilization in a serious criminal trial underscores the lengths to which individuals might go to establish innocence. Despite the peculiar nature of the excuse, it didn't hold up in court. The jury dismissed his claim, and Zieleniewski was convicted. The case serves as a testament to the intricate and sometimes bizarre narratives defendants might weave to escape justice. The "Television Hypnosis" Alibi (Simon MacMillan, 1990s) Description: Simon MacMillan, accused of theft, presented one of the most unusual alibis: he claimed he was under the spell of a TV hypnosis show during his crime. While not a murder case, it remains noteworthy for its audacity. MacMillan's defense hinged on the idea that television could induce a state of suggestibility so profound that one could commit crimes without being aware. In a world where concerns about media's influence have always been rife, MacMillan's defense pushed the boundaries of these fears. However, courts, grounded in scientific reasoning, didn't give credence to this narrative, further reinforcing the necessity for evidence-based defenses. The "Sleepwalking Killer" (Kenneth Parks, 1987) Description: Kenneth Parks' case is remarkable in legal annals. Parks had a well-documented history of sleep disorders. One fateful night, he drove 20 kilometers to his in-laws' home, assaulted both, and killed his mother-in-law. He then drove to a police station, and confessed, but with a twist: he claimed he had done all of this while sleepwalking. Medical experts supported his claims, pointing to a rare form of sleep disorder. The jury faced a moral and legal dilemma: can someone be held responsible for actions committed in a state they have no control over or recall of? Ultimately, Parks was acquitted, leading to global discussions about sleep disorders, legal responsibility, and where the two intersect. The "Werewolf Defense" (Bill Ramsey, 1980s) Description: Bill Ramsey's claims were perhaps more fitting for a horror movie script than a courtroom. During the 1980s in the UK, after a series of violent incidents, Ramsey proclaimed that he occasionally transformed into a werewolf, losing control during these episodes. Sporadic and unpredictable violent outbursts backed his claims, but no concrete evidence supported the supernatural aspect of his assertions. In 1989, after much public attention and media coverage, Ramsey underwent an exorcism, believed by some to rid him of his "werewolf spirit." While his claims were never used as a formal defense in court, they added a chapter to the annals of bizarre explanations for violent behavior. Each of these cases not only underscores the complexities of the human psyche and the lengths individuals might go to distance themselves from their actions but also challenges legal systems worldwide to consider and adapt to ever-evolving narratives of responsibility.

In a high-tension hearing at the Hillsboro Superior Court on Monday, Adam Montgomery faced the bench not only for serious weapons and firearms charges but to also vehemently deny allegations about the tragic death of his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony Montgomery.   "Your Honor, I stand before you, handcuffed, in this stark orange prison attire, not as a symbol of my guilt regarding Harmony, but as a result of my confirmed crimes," began Adam, casting a determined gaze around the courtroom. His voice cracked with emotion, yet he continued, "Let me make this clear. I love my daughter, Harmony, with every fiber of my being, unconditionally. I did not, and could not, harm her."   The tragic story of Harmony Montgomery has been under the spotlight since December 2019, the last month she was reportedly seen. Her father, Adam Montgomery, is currently being indicted with a charge of second-degree murder in connection to her disappearance.   Parallelly, in a separate trial in June, Montgomery was pronounced guilty on a slew of charges, painting a dangerous picture of the man. These charges included being an armed career criminal with possession of both a shotgun and a rifle, receiving stolen property in the form of the same weapons, theft through unauthorized means involving those firearms, and attempted sales of these stolen firearms. The weighty 'armed career criminal' label alone can bring a minimum prison sentence of a decade.   But during his recent hearing, Adam was quick to draw a line between his proven crimes and the grave accusations against him regarding his daughter's fate. "I acknowledge and respect the jury's verdict. They saw me as the man guilty of the weapon-related charges, and I'm not standing here to challenge that," he stated assertively. His eyes pleaded with the court, "But, Your Honor, I beg of you, when deliberating my case, please separate the weapons charges from the heart-wrenching situation involving my beloved daughter."   Mr. Montgomery continued, visibly gathering strength with every word, “Those allegations, those offensive claims that I harmed Harmony, I will fight tooth and nail in my upcoming trial to clear my name." He paused, taking a deep breath, “Your Honor, perhaps it might be hard to grasp, but I didn’t choose the path of addiction. You might find it difficult to believe, but I never willingly wanted this for myself. While I serve time for my acknowledged crimes, I am committed to reflecting, realizing my mistakes as an addict, and striving every day for a change.”   A haunting image of little Harmony, juxtaposed beside her embattled father, as released by the Manchester Police Department, has become symbolic of this heart-wrenching case. As if emphasizing that very image, Montgomery reiterated, passionately, “I love my daughter, unconditionally. She is my heart, and I could never harm her.”   His final appeal to the judge was filled with earnest desperation, “When you decide my fate today, I beg of you, focus only on the crimes for which I was tried and found guilty. Do not let conjecture, speculation, or emotions related to Harmony cloud your judgment. Consider only the hard facts related to this particular case."   In this gripping tale of crime, redemption, and paternal love, the truth remains elusive. While the court decides on Adam's immediate future, the mystery of Harmony Montgomery's fate still hangs heavy in the air. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Melissa Moore, the daughter of convicted murderer Keith Jesperson, has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to support Asa Ellerup and her two adult children, who are the family of alleged Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Rex Heuermann. Heuermann was arrested last month and charged with the murder of three women in New York. Melissa's fundraising efforts have already raised over $23,000+ to help the family restart their lives.   Suffolk Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison stated that Heuermann's arrest shocked his family, as they were unaware of the double life he was living. Heuermann faces charges of first-degree and second-degree murder concerning the deaths of three women, and he is considered the primary suspect in the murder of another victim.   After a thorough 12-day search of their home by investigators, Ellerup's house was left in disarray. While empathizing with Asa's situation, Melissa aims to assist her and her family start anew. The funds raised will be delivered to Ellerup through her divorce law firm, as she filed for divorce from Heuermann last month. The money will be used for basic needs, restoring their home, covering divorce costs, and addressing other unmet needs.   Melissa, who understands the trauma experienced by family members of serial killers, has previously spoken out about the shame they carry. She hopes to alleviate some of their burdens and remove any guilt associated with their connection to the perpetrator. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a tragic incident in Maple Grove, Minnesota, a daughter is accused of attacking her mother during a heated dispute over unpaid rent. According to the Maple Grove Police Department, Nicole Mari Wobbeking, 49, was arrested on July 29 for misdemeanor domestic assault in the fifth degree. However, the charges were later upgraded to assault in the third degree when investigators discovered that the victim, Sheila May Wobbeking, 78, had suffered a broken bone during the altercation.   Initially released after the first arrest, Nicole has been in custody at Hennepin County Jail since the second arrest. Unfortunately, the elder Wobbeking, Sheila, passed away at her home in Plymouth on July 5. Law enforcement in Plymouth alerted authorities in Maple Grove, and detectives are now requesting homicide charges.    The incident occurred on June 27 when Sheila went to her daughter's residence, which she owned and where Nicole was also a tenant, to address the issue of unpaid rent and complaints from nearby individuals. According to the criminal complaint obtained by Law&Crime, Nicole became agitated, and a heated confrontation ensued. She allegedly slapped her mother and then violently pushed her down several stairs. To the horror of the investigators, it is reported that Nicole used a jar of unopened pasta sauce to inflict further harm on her mother's ribs and hips.    Despite her injuries, Sheila managed to leave the house with her granddaughter and wait for the arrival of the police. She was taken to a hospital in Maple Grove, where it was discovered that she had suffered a broken ankle in the incident. Tragically, Sheila's condition deteriorated, and she passed away days later.   In the aftermath, Nicole stated that her mother was her landlord and entered the residence without permission, admitting to pushing the stairs down. Now, homicide charges are being pursued. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office has determined that Sheila's death resulted from a pulmonary embolism triggered by the broken ankle sustained in the attack.   As the investigation continues, Maple Grove Police Commander Jon Wetternach said that a decision on the homicide charge is currently pending.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Elizabeth Archibeque, a 29-year-old mother from Arizona, has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder and abuse of her 6-year-old son, Deshaun Martinez. In 2020, Deshaun was found dead, weighing only 18 lbs, after being locked in a urine-soaked closet and starved.    Archibeque pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and child abuse, expressing some remorse during the court proceedings. Her lawyer requested the possibility of parole after 35 years, but the judge, Ted Reed, deemed her actions as "heinous, cruel, and depraved" and sentenced her to life imprisonment.    Flagstaff police detective Melissa Seay testified about the horrific conditions in which the children were found. Deshaun's 7-year-old brother was also malnourished, and both boys had been confined to a tiny closet for about 16 hours a day for a month, surrounded by the stench of urine.    The evidence photos were deemed too disturbing to be shown during the sentencing hearing. Archibeque admitted blame for her son's death and accepted the consequences of her actions. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A 25-year-old man named Tyrone Hunter from Ohio has been indicted for the murder of a 26-year-old pregnant woman, Isis LeShay Roseman. The incident occurred last month when Hunter got into a verbal altercation with Roseman and her younger brother over a laser pointer in front of a home in Cincinnati. After threatening to shoot up Roseman's home, Hunter left the scene but returned later and fired shots at the house, one of which struck Roseman and proved fatal. Emergency services rushed her to the hospital, but she succumbed to her injuries.    Hunter has been charged with two counts each of murder and felonious assault, as well as one count of improperly discharging a firearm into a habitation and having a weapon while under disability. It was revealed that at the time of the shooting, Hunter was out on bond for previous violent felonies and drug-related charges. He had a history of run-ins with the law and had been released on a reduced bond despite concerns.    Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers expressed frustration over the system's leniency, stating that criminals like Hunter should be kept off the streets and held accountable for their actions. Hunter's defense attorney, Clyde Bennett, denied his client's involvement in the crime.    Hunter could face life imprisonment with parole eligibility after 24 years if found guilty on all charges.

A former beauty queen's life dramatically transformed from the pageant stage to the courtroom with the latest revelations of her involvement in a nefarious murder plot that rocked the serene islands of the Bahamas.   Lindsay Shiver, the former Miss Houston County and second runner-up in the National Peanut Festival pageant, as reported by WDHN-TV, was arrested along with two co-conspirators, Terrance Bethel and Faron Newbold, on charges of conspiracy to commit murder. At the heart of this scandal is an alleged illicit affair and an intricate murder plot aimed at her husband, Robert Shiver, a one-time Atlanta Falcons player and prominent local figure.   According to the Bahamas Court News, the three were taken into custody in late July following an investigation into a separate incident at a local bar in Guana Cay. The investigators stumbled upon a trove of damning evidence in the form of WhatsApp messages exchanged between the trio that reportedly outlined their meticulously planned attempt to murder Robert Shiver. Bethel, 28, is reported to be Lindsay's lover, further complicating the narrative.   The police report, referenced by the Thomasville Times-Enterprise, states that on July 16, 2023, the threesome "while being together did, with a common purpose agree to commit an offense, namely the murder of [Robert] Shiver." This damning evidence was unearthed during the investigation and has since cast a dark cloud over the usually peaceful islands of Abaco.   Lindsay and Robert Shiver owned a home in the Bahamas, a locale in which she allegedly began her extra-marital affair with Bethel. Robert Shiver, on becoming aware of this betrayal, promptly filed for divorce. In his filings, which were reported by CNN, he cited his wife's "adulterous conduct" as the main reason for their marital breakdown. Lindsay, in her retort, claimed that she had "incurred debt beyond her means to pay" and sought financial assistance from her husband.   In a dramatic turn of events, the former beauty queen and her alleged accomplices were granted bail. Lindsay Shiver's bail was set at a hefty $100,000, while Bethel and Newbold's bail amounted to $20,000 each. Intriguingly, it was Robert Shiver who came forward to bail the three suspects out of jail on August 1, as reported by Bahamas Court News.   After their release, stringent measures have been implemented to ensure the three suspects remain within the law's reach. Lindsay Shiver has been fitted with an ankle monitor and ordered to stay within the boundaries of the Bahamas until her next court appearance, slated for October 5. Bethel and Newbold have also been fitted with tracking devices and are required to report to Marsh Harbour Police on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays before 6 p.m., ensuring a close watch is kept on their movements.   Lindsay Shiver, who once held the title of Miss Houston County in 2005, now finds herself embroiled in a scandal that has marred her reputation. In contrast, her estranged husband, Robert Shiver, a former Auburn University football player who also spent a brief period on the Atlanta Falcons roster, has reportedly returned to his home in Thomasville.   As this sensational case unfolds, the Bahamas, often a haven of tranquility and idyllic beauty, has been thrust into the spotlight for a scandal that reads like a crime thriller. The truth behind these allegations will unravel in the coming months as all eyes focus on the October 5 court date. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A chilling case unfolded in the heartland of Pennsylvania this week, as a couple, including a corrections officer, was charged with the death of a young boy who was reportedly subjected to horrific abuse. Westmoreland County District Attorney Nicole Ziccarelli made the unsettling announcement on July 28, highlighting the relentless pursuit of justice for the innocent victim. Lauren Maloberti, the boy's adoptive mother, and her husband, Jacob Maloberti, a correctional officer by profession, are now facing a slew of charges that include criminal homicide, first-degree murder, and endangering the welfare of children. Moreover, both of them have been slapped with two counts of aggravated assault of a child and criminal conspiracy, according to official reports. The victim was identified as 5-year-old Landon Maloberti. On January 30, the child was found unconscious at home and promptly rushed to Allegheny Health Network Hempfield. His condition rapidly deteriorated, necessitating a transfer to Children's Hospital for specialized medical treatment. Despite the medical team's best efforts, Landon succumbed to his severe injuries a week later, on February 7. DA Ziccarelli detailed the shocking extent of the abuse Landon suffered during a press conference covered by WTAE-TV. She reported that the child sustained blunt force trauma to his head, neck, torso, and extremities. His body was marred by a cruel tapestry of bruises, some fresh, others in different stages of healing, a silent testament to the sustained and systematic abuse. Even more alarming was the report of "prolonged and intensive medical interventions" preceding his untimely demise. A physician, having reviewed the case, made a grim determination: Landon had been subject to "multiple episodes of physical abuse," further compounded by at least two forms of emotional maltreatment. The inflicted injuries were of such severity that they caused "substantial pain," impairing the child's basic functions, including standing, eating, drinking, and even consciousness. In a devastating verdict, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner classified Landon's death as a homicide. Further investigation led to disturbing revelations about the defendants' behavior after Landon's injuries. A criminal complaint acquired by WPXI-TV revealed that the accused had allegedly waited a full day before seeking medical help for the severely injured boy. The couple appeared relatively unphased by the situation. Lauren Maloberti attempted to explain away Landon's condition to medical staff, claiming he was "wobbly" due to a previous COVID-19 infection. Medical staff at Children's Hospital painted a tragic picture. They disclosed that Landon had suffered three distinct brain bleeds, a critical condition that had effectively "obliterated" his brain. Further inquiries conducted by the police included interviews with the victim's siblings. As per WPXI reports, the children stated that their mother regularly disciplined Landon, who, according to her, was "hard to learn his lesson." She allegedly used an open hand, a wooden spoon, or a spray bottle to administer the physical punishment. Disturbingly, coworkers reported Lauren Maloberti openly expressing her disdain for her adopted son, stating she "hated" him and found him "hard to love." The detectives reportedly examined text exchanges between the accused couple from April 2022 through February 2023. The messages were allegedly filled with overt expressions of disdain for Landon. Further distressing information emerged when Landon's maternal grandmother told police that her daughter had stopped her from seeing the boy because "he was bad." Even during the festive period, the grandmother was not allowed to see her grandson. In a solemn statement, DA Ziccarelli said, "Tragically, Landon suffered abuse and trauma over the span of his short life. We intend to prosecute this case with the dignity and honor Landon deserves." Her sentiments were echoed by Delmont Chief of Police T.J. Klobucar, who admitted that in his 25-year career, he had never faced an incident of this magnitude. This shocking case is a grim reminder of the vital importance of vigilance and reporting suspected child abuse, to protect our society's most vulnerable members.

The saga of Lori Vallow Daybell, often referred to as the "Doomsday Mom", continues as she is slated to face charges in Arizona, following the completion of her case in Idaho. The Maricopa County Attorney, Rachel Mitchell, announced her intent to file extradition papers for Daybell, who could return to Arizona before year's end. This process is expected to take three to four months.    Daybell's legal complications are far from over. Mitchell divulged, "She is facing two conspiracy cases. One is out of Gilbert for an attempted murder and the other is out of Chandler for an actual murder. So, those would be on top of the convictions she's already received out of Idaho." Daybell's anticipated arrival in Arizona will lead to her detention at a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office jail for what could be a protracted period.    Daybell, aged 50, was sentenced on Monday to life imprisonment without parole for the deaths of her two youngest children and a woman she perceived as a romantic adversary. This complex case was rife with peculiar claims. Daybell suggested that her children were zombies and that she was a divine entity charged with instigating an apocalypse, earning her the "Doomsday Mom" nickname.    In May, Daybell was declared guilty for the killings of her two youngest children, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow, and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and for conspiring to murder Tammy Daybell, the previous wife of her fifth husband. Chad Daybell, her husband, awaits trial on identical murder charges.    In Arizona, Daybell will face severe charges. In 2021, a Maricopa County grand jury indicted her for conspiring to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. According to police reports, Alex Cox, Daybell's brother, shot and killed Charles Vallow in Chandler on July 11, 2019. Additionally, a second Arizona indictment unsealed in May of this year charged Daybell with conspiring to murder Brandon Boudreaux, her niece's ex-husband. Allegedly, Cox shot at Boudreaux in Gilbert on October 2, 2019, but failed to hit him. Cox, who was never charged, died later that year due to what authorities deemed natural causes.    Even though Daybell is already serving multiple life sentences in Idaho, Maricopa County is pressing forward with their cases against her. Mitchell justified this move by stating that it is a matter of securing justice for Daybell's purported victims in Arizona. "If you're the loved one of the victims here or you're the victim here… you're entitled to justice, as well. And so we're going to make sure that that is done in these cases," Mitchell said.    As Daybell's legal journey proceeds, it's becoming evident that she will continue to be subjected to the full force of the law. Despite the multitude of charges already levied against her, the push for justice for her alleged victims remains relentless. Daybell's return to Arizona is a significant step forward in ensuring all the affected parties receive the justice they are due. The result of these additional trials may further seal her fate, cementing her infamous status in the annals of crime history. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The latest development in the infamous Gilgo Beach serial killings has unveiled a massive amount of evidence against the primary suspect, Rex Heuermann, the 59-year-old architect. The array of evidence includes 2,500 pages of documents, numerous crime scene photos, extensive autopsy reports, and hundreds of hours of video footage acquired from Heuermann's residence and professional workspace. The prosecutors disclosed these details during a recent preliminary hearing.   During this brief hearing, the prosecution handed over four hard drives containing significant evidence to Suffolk County Supreme Court Justice Timothy Mazzei and Heuermann's defense attorney. A subsequent pre-trial conference hearing has been arranged for September 27.   Under a protective order, agreed upon by Heuermann's attorney Michael Brown and Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney, the release of the evidence remains strictly confined to attorneys. "We’re talking about 13 years of investigation," Tierney stated in a post-hearing press conference, highlighting the enormity of the material and the ongoing nature of the investigation.   Heuermann, clad in a black blazer and light-colored trousers, made his presence known at the hearing hosted at the Arthur M. Cromarty Criminal Court Complex. The courtroom was packed, accommodating about 100 people, including members of the media and public spectators. The suspect remained silent throughout the brief hearing.   Heuermann was indicted last month with three counts each of first-degree and second-degree murder, specifically relating to the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy (24), Megan Waterman (22), and Amber Lynn Costello (27). The discovery of these women's remains back in December 2010 at Gilgo Beach on Long Island’s South Shore led to his arrest.   The dramatic arrest of Heuermann outside his Manhattan office on July 13 marked the most consequential development in the prolonged investigation into the series of mostly young female victims discovered along Gilgo Beach. Heuermann is also under suspicion regarding the disappearance and death of a fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes (25), whose remains were similarly found near Gilgo Beach. This particular investigation is still in progress. The victims, now referred to as the “Gilgo Four,” were thought to have been engaged in sex work, utilizing online platforms for advertisement, according to police reports. Some of the victims' family members were present at Tuesday's hearing, as mentioned by Tierney. These victims were discovered during the search for another missing woman, Shannan Gilbert, who was last spotted within the proximate gated community of Oak Beach.   Heuermann, to this point, has pleaded not guilty and firmly denied involvement in the killings. His attorney, Brown, stated post-hearing, “We’re prepared to go forward...We will defend this case in the court of law and we will go to trial in this case.” Brown has also previously labeled the case against Heuermann as “extremely circumstantial in nature.”   Investigators have linked Heuermann to the crime based on DNA recovered from a discarded pizza, which allegedly matches a male hair found on burlap material used to wrap Waterman's body. District Attorney Tierney confirmed that the evidence in the case would encompass “mitochondrial DNA, nuclear DNA,” which has already been tested and deemed admissible in US courts.

In an astonishing episode of the popular podcast "Murder In the Morning" hosted by Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole, they dissect the chilling and delusional claims of Lori Vallow Daybell, who is currently under trial for the murder of her children. Daybell asserts her innocence, alleging she communicates with her deceased children and possesses knowledge of the afterlife.   In this episode, Daybell's perplexing court statements were replayed, in which she quoted the New Testament to defend her actions and call into question the judgment passed on her by others. As she declared, "Jesus knows me and Jesus understands me. I mourn with all of you who mourn my children, and to me, Jesus Christ knows the truth of what happened here."   Daybell further explained that she believes no murders occurred, attributing the deaths in her life to accidents, suicides, and medication side effects. An incredulous Brueski responded to her claims, "That's not remotely real." He and Cole struggled to comprehend Daybell's version of events, which they described as "delusional."   Her claims go beyond merely disputing the cause of death. Daybell narrates a vivid experience of having died and visited heaven during labor in 2002, where she met her deceased sister, Stacy. This incident, she alleges, gave her access to the spirit world, allowing her to communicate with her dead children and others.   "She thinks all this shit's real," remarked Cole, expressing disbelief at Daybell's claims of ongoing contact with deceased individuals. According to Daybell, these spirits include her children Tylee Ashland and Joshua Jackson, her friend Tammy Debell – the ex-wife of her husband who was also mysteriously murdered – and other relatives.   "She thinks that she launched these people into a better life, that she's somehow this martyr that she did something great for people that they weren't able to do for themselves," Cole expressed, summarizing Daybell's disturbing perspective. The hosts questioned the mental health of Daybell, referring to her diagnosis of "hyper religiosity with narcissistic features."   Daybell's narrative included graphic descriptions of her daughter, Tylee's, suffering, stating that she had been sexually abused and suffered from a painful health condition. She presented herself as a loving, protective mother despite the accusations against her for murdering her children.   Most shockingly, she claimed her children's spirits visited her after their deaths, assuring her that she hadn't done anything wrong. According to Daybell, Tylee commanded her to stop worrying while Joshua Jackson put his arm around her, expressing his love.   The podcast hosts found these claims deeply disturbing and frightening. Cole expressed concern about Daybell's mental state and the risk she poses to other inmates, deeming her unfit for normal prison conditions. "Even prisoners should not be upset, subjected [to her]," Cole stated.   The hosts concluded that despite Daybell's firm belief in her divine path, her destination might be quite different from the heaven she so vividly described. Brueski concluded, "This whole thing is just frightening and it terrifies me. I don't want her by any other inmates because she is not mentally sound. There's something so terribly wrong with how she thinks." Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In an intriguing episode of the popular podcast "Murder in the Morning," hosts Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole discussed the personal plea made by Lori Vallow Daybell's attorney in court. Vallow Daybell, convicted for the murder of her children, has been a focal point in the podcast's recent episodes. Her attorney's emotional plea has sparked a flurry of reactions and heated debates about the case.   The hosts highlighted the attorney's passionate plea for leniency and understanding for his client, referring to her as "very misunderstood". The attorney drew on his past as a prosecutor and his personal relationship with Vallow Daybell to paint a picture of her that contradicted the damning public image. He emphasized the importance of peace, love, and hope in the aftermath of the trial, implying that society should move toward forgiveness and healing.   The hosts, however, were not convinced. Brueski stated, "Look what she did. She made a freaking plan and carried out that plan to kill her children. And I'm getting really worked up. I'm sorry." His co-host, Cole, echoed his sentiments, calling Vallow Daybell "the most hated woman in America right now, and maybe in the world pretty close."   Despite the attorney's appeal, the hosts questioned whether Vallow Daybell truly embodied the principles of peace and love, or if she merely manipulated those around her. "This woman was able to pull the wool over so many people's eyes for so long. I think she did it with her attorneys. If this is the statement that they're making, she's about love," said Brueski.   The attorney urged the court to give Vallow Daybell a 20-year fixed term with an indeterminate term of life, arguing that it would meet all the goals of sentencing with an added bonus of hope. His argument was that granting her hope would not be a reward but a benefit to society at large.   In response, Brueski retorted, "Why would anyone wanna have hope for Lori Vallow Daybell? She's proven time and time again you can't trust her. She's an evil, horrible human being." Cole echoed his sentiment, indicating that the attorney was defending Vallow Daybell "beyond being the defense attorney", and there were no excuses for her actions.   While the attorney’s plea for Vallow Daybell has stirred up controversy, it also underscores the power of public sentiment in high-profile cases. Despite the attorney’s best efforts, the hosts and many listeners could not reconcile the image of Vallow Daybell as a loving, misunderstood woman with the undeniable evidence of her horrifying crimes. The case continues to captivate public attention, and this podcast episode has brought fresh perspectives and insights into the troubling saga of Lori Vallow Daybell.

In a dramatic turn of events, an Idaho district court initiated a motion, ordering the defense team of the alleged Idaho quadruple murder suspect, Bryan Kohberger, to produce an alibi. This unprecedented move followed the defense's effort to dismiss the case, citing allegations of the state's manipulation of the Grand Jury.   Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old accused of the fatal stabbing of four university students in their Moscow, Idaho, home, faces mounting pressure to unveil his alibi. The heinous crime occurred in the early hours of November 13, claiming the lives of Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20. The trial is scheduled for October, with the prosecution indicating their pursuit of the death penalty as early as June.   In light of the defense team's failure to submit an alibi before Monday's deadline, the state motioned the court to coerce Kohberger into providing a valid excuse for his absence from Moscow on the day of the murders. Prosecutors expect full details of Kohberger's whereabouts, including locations, times, and corroborating witnesses with their respective contact information.   The defense's countermove was to file a motion to dismiss, demanding either the case dismissal or remanding for a preliminary hearing. They argued that the Grand Jury was misled about the standard of proof required for an indictment. Furthermore, Kohberger's lawyers requested a halt in proceedings to contest the jury selection process without infringing on his right to a speedy trial. Both parties have filed motions to seal exhibits, restricting their public disclosure during the trial.   Idaho law specifies that a defendant's alibi defense must be submitted within ten days of a written demand from the prosecuting attorney. The Latah County prosecutor, in this case, made that demand in May, and Kohberger's defense requested an extension, asserting they hadn't been given ample time to review the prosecution's evidence. An extended deadline was set for July 24.   Despite the granted extension, Anne Taylor, Kohberger's attorney, announced on Monday evening that her client would exercise his constitutional right to silence, abstaining from submitting an alibi defense. Taylor affirmed the defense team's ongoing case investigation and preparation. She hinted at evidence corroborating Kohberger's presence elsewhere during the crime, which she promised would be revealed under statutory requirements and according to discovery and evidentiary rules.   Kohberger's defense proposed another layer to their strategy last week by suggesting that the DNA linking him to the knife sheath might have been planted. They requested additional information on how the FBI used DNA to construct family trees, leading to Kohberger. If DNA found at a crime scene doesn't belong to victims, it is customary to run it through a police database to match it with previous offenders' DNA. This technique, called a short tandem repeat (STR) comparison, tests the sample against 20 DNA markers, sufficient for identification if the person or an immediate relative's DNA is already in the system.   A criminal affidavit filed in January reported DNA matching Kohberger's was discovered on a knife sheath near the crime scene, close to Mogen and Goncalves's bodies. Further investigation matched the sheath's DNA to DNA found in trash from Kohberger's parent's home in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested in December. An STR DNA comparison confirmed a statistical match. The knife manufacturer, Ka-Bar, has no record of Kohberger purchasing the utility knife traditionally used as a hunting tool. The actual murder weapon remains undiscovered.   With the trial set for October 2, all eyes are on the proceedings in the Bryan Kohberger case, a situation escalating with each passing day.

In a courtroom laden with tension and anticipation, an Idaho judge has ruled in favor of Tammy Daybell's aunt, Vicki Hoban, granting her the right to address the court during the sentencing of Lori Vallow. Lori Vallow, a woman infamous for the gruesome charges against her, awaits her judgment day in a Fremont County, Idaho courtroom.   The somber aura of the courtroom is a stark contrast to the tumultuous saga that has transpired. Lori, now 50, was convicted on May 12 for the horrific deeds in 2019. The innocent lives of her children, Joshua 'JJ' Vallow, only seven years old, and Tylee Ryan, 16, were snuffed out in their youth. Additionally, the looming charge of conspiracy to commit murder of her husband Chad Daybell's former wife, Tammy Daybell, added an ominous hue to the already grisly tale.   Stepping into this storm of tragedy, Vicki Hoban, Tammy's aunt, had sought to represent her late niece at the sentencing. Initially, Judge Steven Boyce rejected this request. However, following the demise of Tammy's mother in June, Hoban was granted special permission to deliver a victim impact statement.   Vallow's defense team submitted a motion on Friday in a move that stirred up more controversy. Their argument was predicated on Idaho law's definition of 'immediate' family members as victims, a category in which an aunt is not included. Despite their request to prevent Hoban from making her statement, the ruling swung in her favor.   The stoic courtroom witnessed a rather detached Vallow, visible on camera from the Madison County Jail. A bleak image of the convicted woman was captured as she stared ahead, her fist propped under her chin, speaking no word, simply waiting.   Further adding complexity to the already convoluted case, Vallow's attorney, Jim Archibald, contended that the submitted statements of Tammy Daybell's father and sister made Hoban's testimony redundant. As the law excludes aunts, Archibald opined the court's order would be apt if there were no representation from Tammy Daybell's family. However, given the circumstances, Archibald argued, an aunt does not possess the right to represent the family.   In a judicious move, Judge Boyce clarified his initial grant to Hoban was under the impression of Tammy's absence of representation. He highlighted that the statute does not specify that a representative can only be appointed under certain circumstances. Therefore, the impending testimony of three other family members does not exclude Hoban's right to represent her late niece.   As Vallow's eldest son, Colby Ryan, JJ's grandmother, Kay Woodcock, and the child's designated representative, Summer Shiflet, prepare their statements, the courtroom awaits with bated breath.   In a twist of law, Vallow will be granted an opportunity to address the court before her sentence is pronounced. A moment to speak without fear of objection or cross-examination, an opportunity she chose not to take during her trial.   Vallow's previous plea for retrial was dismissed last month. Her attorneys had argued that external influences swayed the jury. The accusations against her were severe - Vallow was convicted for killing her children after falling prey to the illusions of the doomsday predictor, Chad Daybell. The defense argued that the instructions to the jury were muddled and contended that some jurors knew about her alleged crimes that were not officially presented as evidence.   Vallow's attorneys pointed to an interview one juror gave with East Idaho News, revealing knowledge of information not disclosed during the trial. They also claimed changes in the original indictment that occurred without proper notice from the prosecution as grounds for a new trial. However, Judge Boyce, who had presided over Vallow's initial trial, ruled against this motion.   While Vallow stands on the precipice of her fate, her husband, Chad Daybell, awaits his reckoning. With his trial slated for April 1, 2024, Chad watches from the confines of Fremont County Jail. The parallel trials weave a tale of a tormented family facing the stark reality of their actions, each awaiting the heavy hand of justice to pronounce their destinies.

In an unprecedented revelation, Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell, the 25-year-old Alabama woman whose disappearance ignited a statewide manhunt, admitted that she was not kidnapped earlier this month. The confession was made through her attorney, Emory Anthony, during a press conference held by Hoover, Alabama police on Monday.   "There was no kidnapping on July 13," Anthony read from a statement issued by Russell, disputing the details that had previously gripped the nation. The lawyer elaborated that Russell was not involved in any kidnapping incident, had not been with an accomplice, and was neither in a hotel nor with anyone during the alleged period of her disappearance.   "My client did not have help in this incident, that this was a single act done by herself," Anthony continued, effectively shifting the narrative from that of a possible victim of a horrendous crime to a self-inflicted fabrication. He further expressed Russell's regret and apology to the community, volunteers, Hoover Police Department, and other involved agencies, as well as her family and friends who had been consumed by worry.   Russell's lawyer pleaded for understanding and forgiveness from the public, as she grapples with the repercussions of her actions and the potential criminal charges that may befall her. "Carlee, again, asks for your forgiveness and prayers," Anthony implored.   The drama surrounding Russell began on the night of July 13 when she made a distressing 911 call about a toddler walking alone in a diaper along the I-459. The bizarre circumstances escalated when responding officers found Russell's car still running, but with no sign of Russell. A frantic 48-hour search ensued, ending when Russell mysteriously reappeared at her parents' home in Hoover on Saturday night.   Chief Nicholas Derzis of the Hoover Police Department, while reflecting on the entire situation, revealed their initial suspicions at the press conference. "We knew it was a hoax," he stated, expressing both relief at the conclusion of the search and regret for the unnecessary resources expended.   Now, the focus has shifted from the initially sensational story of a potential abduction to the question of the legal consequences that Russell might face for her actions.   Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani has affirmed that Russell is likely to be charged for filing a false police report. He pointed out the implications of her hoax, emphasizing that "when law enforcement is wasting time, it is money and resources that could be devoted to actual victims of crime."   Alabama trial attorney Eric Guster also corroborated this view, stating that Russell could face misdemeanor charges that include making a false police report and making false statements to an official. If found guilty, Russell may be required to pay restitution for the time police spent on the futile investigation.   Russell's future now teeters on the brink of a legal battle. Her attorney, Emory Anthony, stated that he anticipates charges being filed against Russell following a meeting with Hoover police. “It was a great meeting; It was a short meeting,” he said, adding that they had discussed the responsibilities Russell needs to fulfill moving forward.   In the wake of this revelation, the community is left to grapple with the unsettling aftermath of a dramatic, resource-intensive week based on a lie. This is not just the story of a young woman who cried wolf but a sobering reminder of the misuse of emergency resources and the immense pressure these deceptions can place on a community. As attorney Guster succinctly summarized, "Whatever the end resolution or getting to the end resolution is, we want that to happen soon." Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

After nearly two weeks since the shocking arrest of the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann, his devastated family finally returned to their home in Massapequa Park, Long Island. The once-familiar dwelling had been converted into a nightmarish crime scene as police collected evidence in their investigation of the heinous acts tied to Heuermann.   Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife, along with their two children, Victoria, aged 26, and Christopher, aged 32, arrived at the property at around 10.30 am. Their faces were etched with solemn expressions, marking the grief and trauma that had come upon them so unexpectedly. Accompanying the distressed family was their faithful canine companion, returning to a home now overshadowed by terror and uncertainty.   The family's last public sighting was in a Best Buy parking lot where Asa initiated divorce proceedings from her husband, now branded a suspected murderer. As they set foot back into their home for the first time since the news of Heuermann's arrest, Suffolk County detectives were by their side, leaving the premises within an hour.   Asa was seen clutching a black handbag tightly, perhaps holding onto a semblance of normalcy in her world that had been turned upside down. Victoria, her daughter, was also seen carrying a blue water bottle, a bag, and a notebook. Their family home, which they had shared with Heuermann, their husband and father, respectively, for more than a decade, was now a chilling reminder of his horrific deeds.   Emotions ran high as Christopher sat on a bench outside the property with his overwhelmed mother. The solemn duo was briefly disrupted when Christopher ventured outside to take their dog for a walk. Meanwhile, multiple cats that resided in the property were taken into care during their absence.   Heuermann, aged 59, was arrested on July 13th outside his office building in Manhattan, charged with the murder of three escorts and disposing of their bodies at Gilgo Beach. The unfolding of these chilling events had left the family blindsided, according to their lawyer Robert Macedonio. He revealed, "Obviously this has been a shocking time for them and a pretty difficult time to comprehend." The investigation led police to conduct a thorough search of the property, lasting 12 days. They uncovered a soundproof room underneath the home, a discovery that heightened the spine-chilling atmosphere of the case. They seized the family's passports, computers, phones, and iPads as part of the investigation, leaving no stone unturned. It was revealed that the police had found a "tremendous amount of information" during the search, which included the assistance of cadaver dogs.   As part of the ongoing investigation, Heuermann is also being probed for six other murders, whose victims' bodies were discovered at Gilgo Beach in 2011. Heuermann's arrest has sparked not just a media frenzy but also an influx of curious onlookers, turning the quiet neighborhood into a buzz of activity. This has upset the local residents, who are apprehensive about the situation worsening once the police conclude their investigation. Authorities have responded by maintaining 24-hour surveillance and warding off unwanted visitors.   As the Heuermann family attempts to reconcile with their altered reality, authorities are tirelessly connecting the dots in the investigation. Detectives are revisiting unsolved murders across the country, interviewing jailed sex workers who interacted with him, and exploring the possibility of Heuermann's involvement in any unsolved killings in four states - New York, Nevada, South Carolina, and New Jersey Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

On the latest episode of the renowned "Murder in the Morning" podcast, hosts Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole delve into the mystifying and troubling case of Taylor Schabusiness. The Wisconsin woman currently stands accused of murdering her boyfriend in an act of unprecedented brutality, including dismemberment and keeping specific body parts for her morbid fascination. Brueski and Cole provide a disconcerting exploration into the psyche of Schabusiness, the accused, her eerie fascination with parts of her victim, and her plea of not guilty due to insanity. The hosts critically review and attempt to unpack the confusing and deeply unsettling evidence and circumstances surrounding this case.   An unexpected twist in this unfolding saga includes discovering Schabusiness's marital status and her child. Cole stumbled upon the Facebook profile of Warren Schabusiness, Taylor's incarcerated husband, leading the hosts to further insights into this convoluted narrative.   Brueski noted the peculiar use of a mugshot as a profile picture by Warren, which is atypical for a social media platform known for sharing life's best moments. The investigation into Warren's Facebook activity revealed a disturbing insight into the couple's life, with their mundane pastimes juxtaposed against their shared involvement in criminal activity.   The hosts were struck by a letter posted by Warren on his Facebook page. He openly acknowledged the couple's struggles with mental illness, postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction. However, he shifts the blame for Taylor's actions onto the victim, attributing the horrifying actions to the influence of illicit drugs allegedly supplied by the deceased.   Warren's message portrays a deluded loyalty to his wife despite her heinous actions, claiming that their son and he love and care for her. The loyalty runs deep as he attempts to reassure her, saying, "Baby boo, I pray for you every day... We will always be here for you... Because that's the cha business way." His words underscore a startlingly delusional sense of familial loyalty and denial of responsibility for their actions.   Further posts by Warren reveal a sense of grandiosity and delusion. He refers to his family as an "empire" and promises to secure the best lawyer and treatment for Taylor. Interestingly, he appears to bear no concern about his wife's affair, showing an alarming lack of emotional response.   Beyond his wife's infidelity, Warren displays an unsettling level of optimism about his impending release from prison. Despite being incarcerated on federal charges for drug-related crimes, he eagerly anticipates his release and the opportunity to support his wife.   As Brueski and Cole wrap up their chilling exploration into the case, they underscore the tragic situation of the couple's innocent child caught in the crossfire of this deeply troubled narrative. The hosts express hope that the child will be kept safely away from the parents' twisted reality.   In the hosts' poignant discussion, it becomes clear that the Taylor Schabusiness case is not merely about a brutal murder. It's a harrowing glimpse into the devastation wrought by untreated mental health issues, drug addiction, and a deeply troubling refusal to acknowledge personal responsibility.   As the legal proceedings progress, it will be imperative to not only achieve justice for the victim but also ensure the safety and welfare of the innocent child, and possibly others, caught in the aftermath of this horrifying crime. This riveting case, covered extensively by the "Murder in the Morning" podcast, will undoubtedly continue to captivate audiences and raise urgent questions about mental health, addiction, and responsibility in our society.

Taylor Schabusiness Wanted To 'Keep Some Parts She Liked' Of Dead BF   In an unfolding drama gripping the nation, the chilling details of the Taylor Schabusiness trial came to light in the courtrooms this week. Her case, charged with the murder and gruesome dismemberment of Shad Thyrion, saw forensic experts lay out the evidence, painting a horrifying image of the crime scene.   Prominent among the witnesses was Dr. Vincent Tranchida from the Dane County Medical Examiner's Office. As the forensic pathologist who performed the post-mortem on Thyrion, Dr. Tranchida offered a chilling testimony detailing the victim's injuries and the exacting method of his dismemberment.   Dr. Tranchida testified, explaining the severity of the wounds inflicted on the victim, "We have decapitation, we have dismemberment, we have transection of the torso... the body has been eviscerated. We have entered the body through various cuts through the abdomen and between the ribs where the victim's organs have been removed, largely one by one." The doctor noted that the dismemberment would have taken several painstaking hours, clearly performed post-mortem due to the lack of hemorrhage associated with the injuries.   As harrowing as this evidence is, its importance cannot be overstated for understanding the sequence of events leading up to Thyrion's tragic demise. The depth of information it provides also casts a spotlight on the complexity of the task faced by the forensic examiners who collected the remains from the Stony Brook Lane residence and the minivan Schabusiness was reportedly driving.   Toxicology reports found traces of cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana in Thyrion's system. However, Dr. Tranchida adamantly stated these substances were not the cause of death. "It is my medical opinion that the cause of death of Shad Thyrion is strangulation and that the manner of death is homicide," testified Tranchida, a finding that shifts the focus squarely onto the actions of Schabusiness.   Further insights were shared by Lt. Tom Buchmann of the Green Bay Police Department, who described Schabusiness's arrest. Captured by bodycam footage, her apprehension occurred after the gold minivan she was known to be driving was located outside an Eastman Avenue apartment. "She appeared to be in shock or very surprised to see us. I'd equate it to a deer in the headlights kind of look or a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar," he said.   Following her arrest, Schabusiness was taken to the Green Bay Police Department. A series of images displayed to the jury documented her blood-stained attire. The state crime lab's DNA analyst, Kevin Scott, confirmed the blood was Thyrion's, adding to the mounting body of evidence against Schabusiness.   Further captivating the courtroom, a former detective from the Green Bay Police Department divulged findings from Schabusiness' cellphone. It was revealed that the defendant had searched for notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, cadavers, and Satan, leading the defense to a motion for a mistrial. Despite the alarming associations and potential prejudicial impact, Brown County District Attorney David Lasee defended its relevance. The judge, taking note of the mistrial motion, ultimately denied it.   The Taylor Schabusiness trial, with its shocking revelations and disturbing associations, continues to captivate the nation, unfolding a tale of horrifying actions and mental instability. As the court delves deeper into this complex case, the spotlight remains focused on the grim details of the crime and the twisted mind of the accused   Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

On the quiet streets of Green Bay, Wisconsin, a brutal case of murder, mutilation, and sexual abuse has cast a dark shadow over the community. The trial of Taylor Denise Schabusiness, a 25-year-old accused of murdering and dismembering her lover Shad Thyrion, commenced with an exposition of gruesome evidence that sent ripples of shock and horror through the courtroom.   The bone-chilling case dates back to February 2022 when Thyrion, also 25, was found gruesomely dismembered in his mother's basement. Schabusiness faces charges of first-degree homicide, mutilating a corpse, and third-degree sexual assault. Authorities accuse her of strangling Thyrion to death, performing sexual acts on his corpse, and dismembering him, leaving parts of his body scattered throughout the house and inside a car. The victim's severed head and penis were shockingly discovered inside a bucket, a discovery made all the more disturbing as it was the victim's mother who stumbled upon them.   Footage captured by police body cameras revealed the horrifying crime scene. The visual evidence, shown to the Wisconsin jury, brought the grotesque reality of the crime to the fore. Investigators found bags soaked in blood and a blood-stained mattress, illuminating the grotesque extent of the murder.   As the trial opened, shocking evidence emerged, painting a disturbing picture of the murder and the events leading up to it. Schabusiness reportedly took advantage of Thyrion during an intense sexual encounter, leading to his death by strangulation using a chain. Post-mortem, she allegedly performed sexual acts on his dismembered body and scattered his remains throughout the house.   The sight that greeted Thyrion's mother, Tara Pakanich, and her boyfriend, Steve Hendricks, was nothing short of a nightmare. They discovered Thyrion's severed head and a male organ inside a bucket, leading to an urgent call to 911.   The police bodycam footage exhibited in court showed the officers being led to the basement, where they came face-to-face with the horrifying sight. Alex Wanish, one of the responding Green Bay officers, testified about the gut-wrenching discovery, "At the bottom of the stairs, to the right, there was a green bucket with a shower towel on top of it... and there was a human head severed head in the bucket."   Officers found more of Thyrion's remains in the basement in various plastic bags and storage totes. His upper torso was found in a storage tote, accompanied by a carving knife and several internal organs, indicating the extent of the dismemberment.   Schabusiness confessed to investigators that she had planned to transport the dismembered parts in her minivan. However, she abandoned the idea due to her lethargy and the random, unplanned nature of the murder.   Authorities apprehended Schabusiness shortly after the discovery of the remains. She was found still sporting blood-stained clothing and bearing physical evidence of the crime, such as scratches on her arms, a cut on her left thumb, and apparent blood on her hands.   During the interrogation, Schabusiness revealed that she and Thyrion had consumed drugs, including methamphetamine and a potent sedative called Trazadone, earlier in the day of the incident. Investigators recovered a glass pipe and a bag containing a light-colored powder, corroborating her account of drug consumption.   The trial continues as the legal teams grapple with the distressing evidence. The brutality and grotesque nature of the crime have left an indelible mark on the community, shedding light on a violent act of passion that ended in a horrifying spectacle of murder and mutilation.

On the quiet streets of Massapequa Park, Long Island, a home that once held the semblance of normalcy, now lies at the center of a chilling investigation involving the infamous Gilgo Beach serial killings. The property, owned by 59-year-old architect Rex Heuermann, who stands accused of the murders, has become a crime scene fraught with intrigue and disturbing findings. Starting with the house itself, the otherwise nondescript suburban dwelling hides ominous features. Its basement was found to be fortified with concrete walls, estimated to be two to three feet thick. With an unusually heavy-duty safe door, the fortified room more closely resembles a vault than a typical basement. Given Heuermann's alleged double life as a serial killer, this concealed room's purpose has been speculated as a possible site for perpetuating his horrifying acts. However, law enforcement agencies have yet to confirm this. The excavation of the backyard brought to light an assortment of objects. Forensic officers unearthed several fragments from the ground, which sparked speculation about their possible human origin. However, experts caution that these could be animal remains or unrelated artifacts. Regardless, the find contributes to the eerie atmosphere surrounding Heuermann's property, hinting at potential clandestine activities. Inside the house, investigators retrieved a colossal collection of over 200 firearms, a discovery striking in both quantity and implications. Interestingly, Heuermann only had permits for 92 of these weapons, raising questions about the acquisition and intended use of the unregistered firearms. Given the violent nature of the crimes he is accused of, the weapons cache could serve as a chilling testament to his preparedness for lethal action. Among the items removed from the home were a large doll encased in glass and a portrait of a woman bearing a facial bruise. These peculiar items may hold symbolic or psychological importance for Heuermann, although their exact significance remains unclear. In addition to the physical evidence within Heuermann's home, the surrounding property has been subject to intense scrutiny. Authorities brought in specialized equipment, including ground-penetrating radar and cadaver-sniffing dogs, to conduct a comprehensive search. It's also noteworthy that investigators had to dismantle a wooden deck at the house during the search process. Its removal, like the unearthing of the concealed basement, indicates a thorough search for hidden compartments or buried evidence - a testament to the scope and depth of this investigation. Authorities have been tight-lipped about the connections between these findings and the alleged crimes. The investigation's focus now moves from the excavation phase to the analysis of the evidence collected. As the mystery unfolds, each piece of evidence could serve as a crucial puzzle in understanding the disturbing narrative around Rex Heuermann. From the fortified basement to the trove of firearms and the enigmatic fragments in the backyard, each item could bring us closer to unraveling the secrets hidden within the walls of the architect's home and shed light on the gruesome events that have haunted Long Island for over a decade.

The picturesque suburban community of Massapequa Park, a tranquil neighborhood on Long Island, is currently grappling with a nightmarish reality. Rex Heuermann, an architect and father of two, the embodiment of an ordinary family man, has been charged with the notorious Gilgo Beach murders. Today, we dive into the unnerving discoveries that investigators are making at Heuermann's residence, turning the once-idyllic family home into a nexus of one of the most chilling crime investigations in recent years.   Heuermann is currently accused of three counts of murder linked to the infamous Gilgo Beach killings, a decade-old unsolved case involving the gruesome discovery of eleven bodies, mainly young female sex workers, near Gilgo Beach. An investigation into Heuermann's potential connection to a fourth murder is also ongoing.   Following his arrest, a significant focus has been placed on Heuermann’s Massapequa Park home, a seemingly regular household that may hold the key to unveiling the atrocities that have baffled authorities for over a decade. Late on Sunday, authorities commenced excavations in his residence's backyard, signaling the possible burial of unknown secrets. Investigators are equipped with a backhoe and ground-penetrating radar, searching the area for potential evidence.   In an unprecedented revelation that has sent shockwaves through the community, law enforcement sources have indicated that they believe at least one of the Gilgo Beach murders might have occurred at Heuermann's residence. These suspicions, though alarming, have significantly escalated the urgency and importance of the ongoing investigations at Heuermann's property. Authorities have not yet revealed what if any, evidence they have discovered at the house over the past weekend.   In addition to the backyard excavation, Heuermann's home is under a magnifying glass. With its typical suburban facade, it stands as a stark reminder of the duality that allegedly exists between Heuermann’s public persona and his concealed criminal life. Investigators are sifting through the house in search of any traces of the victims or any hint that could corroborate the claims that some of the murders occurred there.   From a broader perspective, the discoveries at Heuermann’s home could prove vital in establishing a clear link between him and the unsolved murders in New York and across the country. Suffolk police have confirmed that they are investigating potential connections between Heuermann and unresolved cases in South Carolina, Nevada, and Atlantic City.   Simultaneously, two storage units tied to Heuermann have also been searched, extending the crime scene from his immediate residence to secondary locations associated with him. It demonstrates the comprehensive approach adopted by law enforcement agencies in their endeavor to solve this decade-old mystery.   The unnerving developments around Heuermann’s home have left the neighborhood in disbelief and shock. The quiet, suburban life has been disrupted by the realization that such heinous acts could have occurred in their own backyard. Residents are struggling to reconcile the image of the familiar neighbor and local architect with the prime suspect in a chilling serial murder case.   As the investigation into Heuermann's Massapequa Park home continues, one thing remains evident: the tranquil facade of this Long Island neighborhood hides a horrifying reality that might hold the key to unraveling one of New York's most notorious murder mysteries.   The authorities have indicated that the investigation at Heuermann’s property will conclude this week. The anticipation is palpable as both the community and the wider public wait for the results, hoping they might finally provide answers to the decade-long questions surrounding the Gilgo Beach murders. As for Heuermann, he maintains his innocence and is due back in court on August 1st.   The latest developments in the Heuermann case reveal a chilling narrative of hidden atrocities, shedding light on gruesome murders that have confounded investigators for years. The ongoing investigation at his home and backyard could prove instrumental in revealing the truth behind these unsolved murders, offering justice to the victims and a semblance of closure for a tormented community.     Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a case that has sent shockwaves through the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin, a chilling affidavit reveals the gruesome charges brought against Taylor Schabusiness. With her history of convictions adding to the severity of her current accusations, Schabusiness faces an uphill legal battle and the prospect of life imprisonment.   According to the affidavit sworn by Assistant District Attorney Caleb Saunders, Schabusiness is charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilation of a corpse, and third-degree sexual assault, all carrying the repeater provision due to her prior felony conviction.   In February 2022, Schabusiness allegedly caused the victim's death in a deliberate act of violence. She is charged with intentionally causing this death with the motive to kill, an act that qualifies as a Class A Felony under Wisconsin statute sec. 940.01(1)(a). This accusation is severe and carries the penalty of life imprisonment upon conviction. Schabusiness, already carrying a conviction record, could face an increased prison term of 6 years.   The affidavit further details the grotesque accusations against Schabusiness under the second count - mutilation of a corpse. Allegedly committed on the same day as the homicide, the documents state that she dismembered a corpse, intending to conceal her crime. This act falls under sec. 940.11(1) of the Wisconsin statute, classifying it as a Class F felony. This charge carries a fine of up to $25,000, imprisonment of up to 12 years and six months, or both. Again, due to her previous felony conviction, Schabusiness faces a possible increase in her prison term.   The third charge pressed against Schabusiness is that of third-degree sexual assault. The affidavit alleges that she engaged in non-consensual sexual intercourse with the victim. This constitutes a Class G felony, according to sec. 940.225(3)(a) of the Wisconsin statutes, carrying a potential fine of up to $25,000, a prison term of up to 10 years, or both.   The charges are heavily founded on the results of an intensive police investigation. Statements from a citizen witness labeled TP in the affidavit and self-incriminating declarations from Schabusiness have also formed the basis of these charges. Officers from the Green Bay Police Department played a pivotal role in establishing the probable cause for the complaint.   Officer Alex Wanish was among the first officers on the scene after reports of a severed head found in a basement. His report depicts a chilling scene, with the head discovered in a plastic bucket. The report of Officer Garth Russell, who apprehended Schabusiness, revealed the apparent presence of dried blood on her clothing. Examining the defendant’s van yielded more gruesome discoveries, including additional human body parts.   Police investigation of the crime scene revealed a grisly tableau: dismembered body parts, discarded kitchen knives with signs of use, significant blood staining, and traces of drug use. These findings were disturbingly consistent with Schabusiness's admissions.   These exhaustive investigations and testimonies paint a grim picture of the alleged crimes. Schabusiness’s past felony conviction for battery or threat to a judge, prosecutor, or law enforcement officer adds further depth to the case, invoking repeater provisions that could increase her potential sentencing.   The magnitude of the allegations against Taylor Schabusiness has cast a shadow over Green Bay, leaving residents and the nation waiting for justice to be served in this deeply troubling case.

The quiet neighborhood of Massapequa Park, typically known for its peaceful suburban charm, has been gripped by a disturbing revelation with the arrest of one of its residents, Rex Heuermann. Standing accused as the Gilgo Beach serial killer, Heuermann, an architect by profession, has been charged with the murders of three sex workers over a decade ago. His arrest has unraveled a tale of intrigue and horror that has shocked his community and beyond.   On July 14, Heuermann was charged with the gruesome murders of Amber Costello, Megan Waterman, and Melissa Barthelemy, all of whom disappeared between 2007 and 2010. Their bodies were later discovered at Gilgo Beach. In addition, Heuermann is the prime suspect in the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, a fourth woman.   The news of his arrest sent shockwaves through Massapequa Park. His neighbors were taken aback, as Heuermann had lived amongst them with his wife, daughter, and stepson. He was perceived as a somewhat aloof figure who kept to himself. The image portrayed by his defense attorney as a "loving husband and devoted father" starkly contrasted with the persona he embodied in the eyes of his community.   Speaking to The New York Times, Neighbor Frankie Musto described Heuermann and his wife, Asa Ellerup, as reclusive figures who generally avoided interaction with their neighbors. Musto pointed out that their house was unkempt, which led her to forbid her daughter from visiting despite being friends with Heuermann's daughter. This antisocial behavior raised eyebrows among the locals, painting Heuermann and Ellerup as enigmatic figures.   The plot thickened when investigators found female hairs at the three crime scenes, which forensic analysis revealed belonged to Heuermann's wife, Asa Ellerup. However, authorities also confirmed through cell phone records that Ellerup was out of state when the murders occurred. This finding presented a paradox that further intrigued investigators, prompting them to dig deeper into the case.   Following Heuermann's arrest, a search of his residence led to the shocking discovery of a massive collection of firearms between 200 and 300. Heuermann's house, located just 20 minutes from Gilgo Beach, where the bodies of his victims were dumped, is now the center of a major investigation. Despite having legal permits for 92 guns, the sheer number of firearms found in his possession has raised eyebrows among law enforcement agencies.   The scope of the investigation is broadening, with police scrutinizing Heuermann's possible involvement in seven other murders, whose victims' bodies were also discovered along the shores of Gilgo Beach. His far-reaching connections span states and are potentially linked to unsolved murders in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, South Carolina, and Las Vegas.   Chilling eyewitness accounts from Heuermann's next-door neighbor, Dominick Cancellieri, have further painted a picture of the suspect's odd behavior. Cancellieri reported hearing Heuermann digging in his backyard during the early morning hours and frequently burning garbage. He also described Heuermann as an intimidating figure who once issued a veiled threat after a minor dispute over a parking space.   On the other hand, Heuermann's family, specifically his wife and children, reacted with shock and disgust at the allegations against him, according to Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison. Despite Heuermann pleading not guilty to all charges, his once ordinary life unravels, revealing more horrifying details with each passing day.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

New light is shed on potential evidence and forensic leads in the gruesome saga of New York's accused serial killer Rex Heuermann. The recent execution of a search warrant related to property in Chester County tied to Heuermann has brought forth critical information about what authorities are hunting for as they piece together the puzzle of this chilling case.   Registered to Heuermann's brother, Craig, a dark green 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche was marked for search. Believed to contain contraband, evidence, or instrumentalities linked to multiple charges, including first- and second-degree murder, patronizing a person for prostitution, and conspiracy to commit said offenses, the vehicle was a focal point of the search. The truck, once secured, was scheduled to be transported to Suffolk County, NY, for a thorough forensic examination.    The expansive list of "property sought" on the warrant reveals what authorities are specifically looking for as they unravel Heuermann's chilling narrative. Many listed items, dubbed as "trophies," are personal belongings of murder victims, encompassing phones, articles of clothing, jewelry, identification, and even personal Bibles. Such 'trophies' could be haunting souvenirs of Heuermann's alleged heinous deeds, painting a vivid portrait of the criminal's deranged mindset.    Moreover, forensic and trace evidence was also sought, including DNA from fingernails, toenails, animal hair or fur, human hair, and skin fibers. Authorities are hunting for latent fingerprints and palm prints that could be critical in tying Heuermann to his victims. Such evidence could be found in everyday items like furniture, mattresses, carpets, rugs, clothing, and animal cages.    Authorities also sought access to electronic devices or computers in all forms, along with any records, physical or electronic. This likely hints towards a potential digital footprint that could provide insights into Heuermann's modus operandi or provide connections to his victims.   Intriguingly, the warrant also mentioned "any of the known instrumentalities involved in the commission of the designated offenses," including the material burlap, in which at least one of Heuermann's alleged victims was discovered wrapped. Other specific items listed separately as "trophies" include condoms, cut distal ends of black leather belts, knives, scissors, and Bounty paper towels specifically from the Bounty Modern Print Collection.   The warrant points towards authorities' interest in "locked rooms, storage areas, vaults, cabinets, safes, closets, containers." These locations could potentially serve as hidden repositories of crucial evidence or the final pieces in this gruesome jigsaw puzzle.   The execution of the search warrant signals a significant step forward in investigating the alleged serial killer, Rex Heuermann. As law enforcement delves deeper into the suspect's world, every revealed detail brings us closer to understanding the depths of this harrowing case, ultimately aiding in delivering justice for the victims.

In a case that has gripped the public's attention, Alexis Saborit, a man previously found guilty of a horrifying crime involving the murder and decapitation of his girlfriend, America Thayer, has now been deemed not guilty because of mental illness in a recent second part of his trial.   On July 28, 2021, law enforcement apprehended Saborit concerning the gruesome murder of Thayer, whose decapitated body was found on a sidewalk. Opting for a bench trial over a jury trial in May, Saborit was declared guilty of first-degree premeditated murder by First Judicial District Judge Caroline Lennon, after he initially pled not guilty due to mental illness. According to official reports, the unfortunate day of the incident saw an argument ensue between Saborit and Thayer. The disagreement stemmed from Saborit's refusal to attend a court hearing related to an arson charge.   The Saborit case entered a second phase of the trial, aimed at establishing his mental state at the time of the crime, as documented in a court record from Scott County on July 17. During this phase, the court called upon the expertise of two professionals in the mental health field, Dr. Andrea Lovett and Dr. Kathryn Jameson. It's important to note that Saborit's criminal record is extensive, with prior convictions including domestic abuse, domestic battery, and false imprisonment.   In a telling incident in 2020, a friend of Thayer voiced concerns about Saborit's escalating physical and psychological abuse to his probation officer, stating that Saborit was experiencing severe mental health issues and expressing fears that Thayer's life was in imminent danger. However, Thayer refuted these claims, insisting that her friend had concocted the story.   A significant turning point in Saborit's life was a severe car accident in 2017, where he was intoxicated at the wheel. The incident led to a coma and a traumatic brain injury, following which he reported auditory hallucinations and paranoid delusions.   In the wake of his arrest for Thayer's murder, signs of Saborit's severe psychosis became increasingly evident. His thought processes were disorganized, his paranoia intensified, and he became a victim of bizarre delusions, including believing that his prison food was poisoned.   Dr. Lovett and Dr. Jameson noted significant signs of mental instability in their interactions with Saborit. Despite attempts to respond coherently to questions, his responses often became jumbled and irrational. Saborit acknowledged the immorality of his actions but also voiced bizarre accusations against Thayer, including claims that she had orchestrated an assault against him.   After a comprehensive analysis, Dr. Lovett concluded that Saborit's actions on the day of Thayer's murder stemmed from his mental illness, not the influence of drugs or alcohol, and highlighted his history of psychotic episodes. Dr. Jameson concurred, testifying that Saborit was experiencing genuine symptoms of a psychotic disorder at the time of the offense. Importantly, while Saborit understood the wrongness of his actions, he failed to appreciate their moral implications.   Based on these findings, Judge Lennon ruled Saborit not guilty because of mental illness. She ordered his transfer to a facility operated by the Commission of Human Services. This case illustrates the intricate crossroads of criminal law and mental health, highlighting the necessity of in-depth psychological evaluations in violent crime cases.

As the investigation continues into the unsettling case of the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann, a new potential development has emerged. In the small town of Rock Hill, South Carolina, a nearly decade-old missing person case is being revisited to examine if there could be a connection with Heuermann.   Aaliyah Bell Hall, an 18-year-old, vanished mysteriously in Rock Hill on November 25, 2014. Significantly, Rock Hill is situated a mere 20 miles from an undeveloped, 18-acre plot of land that Heuermann reportedly purchased. The local police force has confirmed that they are reinvestigating Aaliyah’s disappearance with this fresh perspective.   The reopening of this cold case has sparked a glimmer of hope for Aaliyah’s family, who have grappled with the unbearable unknown surrounding her abrupt disappearance for years. They are now urging authorities to search Heuermann's property for potential evidence that could solve this long-standing mystery.   Recounting her family's painful journey, Aaliyah's aunt, Laroy Hall, shared with media outlets that there have been numerous false leads in the past but nothing concrete. She hoped this fresh direction could bring them closer to the truth. "People saw a dark truck close to where she vanished," she shared, hinting at a potential link with Heuermann, known to have owned a similar vehicle.   Rex Heuermann currently faces charges for three murders related to the Gilgo Beach case, with the prospect of a fourth charge looming. Heuermann's alleged victims were sex workers. Although Aaliyah’s relatives deny her involvement in sex work, they confessed to hearing rumors after her disappearance that she had taken desperate measures to survive.   The circumstances of Aaliyah's disappearance remain as mysterious as ever. She was last seen leaving her uncle's house around 10 p.m. on November 25, 2014, two days before Thanksgiving. Family members reported hearing screams and spotting a dark-colored vehicle near her location shortly before her disappearance.   A spokesperson for the Rock Hill Police Department announced that while other agencies had not contacted them regarding Aaliyah's case, they were investigating any potential links between her disappearance and Heuermann. This development offers hope in a case that has remained cold for nearly a decade.   The Heuermann investigation has brought new energy to cold cases across the nation. In Las Vegas, authorities are reviewing their cold cases after it was revealed that Heuermann has a timeshare in a luxury condo near the Las Vegas strip. His notorious case seems to cast a long shadow across various unsolved mysteries in the country.   Closer to home, Aaliyah’s family continues to hope for answers. Each year, on the anniversary of her disappearance, they release balloons and make social media posts hoping to jog someone's memory or prick someone's conscience.   Their plea for closure and justice remains the same. They call on the police to explore all possibilities as the spotlight turns to Rex Heuermann, the family braces for any news, even as they continue to live with the heart-wrenching absence of their loved one. The attention now is on the 18-acre plot of land Heuermann bought in Chester. Coupled with the testimony about a mysterious dark truck, this thread could provide a breakthrough in the search for the truth about Aaliyah's disappearance. The family hopes this new lead will bring them the closure they have been yearning for almost a decade after Aaliyah's disappearance.   The ripple effects are being felt far and wide as the nation follows the chilling saga of the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer. The unfolding investigation into Rex Heuermann’s case provides a new lens through which old, unsolved cases like Aaliyah Bell Hall’s can be examined. As the investigation progresses, the world watches, hopeful for the closure that the victims' families deserve. Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent development that promises to revive the nearly three-decade-long investigation into Tupac Shakur's death, the execution of a search warrant on a property linked to Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis has sparked new intrigue and speculation.    Hosts of the podcast "Murder In the Morning," Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole, discussed the warrant and its implications. Brueski remarked, "It's been very interesting. There's everything from the rumors of, you know, Tupac is still alive, to who shot Tupac."   Born on June 14th, 1963, Davis has been a controversial figure for many years due to his alleged involvement in the infamous crime. A member of the South Side Compton Crips, Davis earned his notoriety through his connections to Eazy E and persistent allegations of his role in Tupac's murder.   The search warrant, executed on July 17, 2023, reignited the ongoing discussion surrounding Davis' potential involvement in the murder. The warrant was served at a Henderson, Nevada, property owned by Paula Clemens, Davis' wife. Investigators were searching for personal notes, photos, and other documents related to Tupac's death. While the outcome of this search remains uncertain, it has undeniably stirred up speculation about Davis' role in Tupac's death. "In the last many years, I'd say the last ten years or so, I think it's really been established who likely did kill Tupac. They are, however, dead now," commented Brueski, referring to Orlando Anderson, who many believe was the gunman.   Anderson, Davis' nephew, had long been suspected of killing Tupac in retaliation for an altercation just hours before the shooting. During the filming of a Netflix docuseries, Davis claimed it was Anderson who pulled the trigger, and that he, Davis, was in the car at the time. However, Anderson himself denied these allegations until he died in 1998.    Despite admitting to being present in the car, Davis has consistently refuted allegations of his involvement in the crime. Amid the renewed public interest and scrutiny, he maintains his innocence, dismissing the accusations as mere obsessions of his critics. "What are you looking for exactly other than he was in the car. That's the end of the story is that he was in the car," remarked Brueski.   Nevertheless, the mystery of Tupac's murder remains unsolved, leaving fans and investigators hoping for a breakthrough. As this ongoing investigation evolves, the host's sentiment seems to encapsulate the general feeling. Brueski said, "I don't know what justice would be at this point... So where this goes, I don't know."  "Murder In the Morning" continues to discuss and dissect crime mysteries, adding valuable insights and thoughtful analysis to conversations like this one. As more details emerge, listeners will undoubtedly stay tuned to hear more about this resurgent investigation into Tupac's death. Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the latest episode of the popular true crime podcast, "Murder In The Morning," hosts Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole delve into the alleged Gilgo Beach murders, and the mounting evidence against the suspect, Rex Heuermann. The hosts discuss the possible involvement of an unidentified female accomplice, a series of unsettling phone calls, and a disturbing internet search history linked to the case.   The suggestion of a potential female accomplice emerged from attorney John Ray, who represents the families of victims Shannan Gilbert and Jessica Taylor. Ray posits that this unidentified woman may have aided Heuermann in luring some of the victims. This theory was fueled in part by a piece of evidence - the body of a 10-month-old baby girl found swaddled in a blanket on Long Island in 2011. Ray argues that such an act seems to display a level of maternal care at odds with the profile of a violent murderer.    The podcast also covered the subject of unsettling phone calls that Ray began to receive earlier this year from both a man and a woman. The calls, which contained references to the Gilgo Beach case, ceased abruptly around the time of Heuermann's arrest. In one chilling instance, a caller commented on Ray's activities, specifically mentioning him enjoying a pizza. Shortly after, a pizza delivery arrived at Ray's house, an order he had not placed. Upon inquiry, Ray found out that the order was placed by a woman, with a man suggesting toppings in the background.   Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect, was arrested last week and has been charged with three of the 11 murders connected to Gilgo Beach. Following his identification as a suspect, more than 300 subpoenas, search warrants, and other legal procedures were issued, indicating the extent of the investigation prior to his arrest.   The hosts revealed Heuermann's internet search history on air, which they describe as one of the most disturbing lists of search terms they have encountered on the show. The content included explicit and violent sexual content, suggesting a predatory mindset.   Further compounding the intrigue, Heuermann's search history also showed a keen interest in the Gilgo Beach investigation. The architect had been searching for updates on the case, querying why the killer hadn't been caught and looking up potential technological advancements that could potentially help crack the case. The hosts theorized that this pointed towards growing paranoia on Heuerman's part.   Brueski and Cole concluded the episode by emphasizing the importance of process and justice in the face of such disturbing revelations. The evidence against Heuermann is damning, yet they cautioned their listeners against jumping to conclusions prematurely. They noted the presence of evil in unexpected places, with Brueski stating that "evil lives among us everywhere," a sobering reminder to their audience. Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

The New York Post recently reported that in the early hours of a seemingly ordinary Friday morning on July 14, real estate agent Jeffrey St. Arromand's daily routine was abruptly shattered by a phone call that sent shockwaves through his world. The voice on the other end of the line was one of his clients, her voice shaking, breathless, and scared. The news had just broken that the notorious Gilgo Beach serial killer, who had evaded capture for over a decade, had been arrested. The suspect was Rex Heuermann, an architect she had worked closely with over the past year on a Brooklyn brownstone project.    Jeffrey, of Serhant, vividly recalled his interactions with Heuermann, yet it was his client's chilling experiences with Heuermann that drew a cold veil of shock over their past professional associations. Speaking anonymously, she recounted her baffling encounters with Heuermann, which dated back to 2002 when she had purchased her Crown Heights home. Fast-forward two decades later, in 2022, Heuermann played a significant role in renovating her property as the expeditor and architect, which was ultimately sold.    "She drove him home once because she relocated to Long Island," St. Arromand told The Post, hinting at a journey along a "dark and desolate." Reflecting on that eerie drive home, the client revealed a haunting conversation that had taken place between them. "At one point on the drive, we talked about the Gilgo Beach murders — we even discussed the burlap and why someone would use that. In retrospect, thinking about that conversation, it's just bone-chilling," she confessed.    She noted his peculiar behavior as she delved further into her interactions with Heuermann during the renovation. "Throughout the transaction, he was becoming very difficult to work with, even belligerent sometimes. He was constantly arguing with the plumber on the job and questioning his work. Just very odd behavior," she said. "For some reason, in this transaction, he would constantly say, 'I'm not doing anything to get a fine or open an investigation of my license.'"    After the finalization of the property sale, her distaste for Heuermann had grown so much that she preferred him not to attend the closing. “When we ultimately were able to close on the property, I had such a bad experience with Rex that I told him not to attend the closing,” she said. Regardless, he was still owed a balance of payment and made a separate trip to the attorney's office to pick it up. "Apparently he had some disagreement with one of the women associates at the firm. This associate was so uncomfortable with her exchange with Rex that she refused to be in the office when he picked up the check. Ultimately the partner at the firm gave the check to Rex when he arrived with his daughter," she explained.    St. Arromand shared that the property was eventually sold to a celebrity buyer whose identity remains a secret. Despite the troubling interactions with Heuermann, his client had always spoken highly of his work. “She’s someone that really supported this guy,” St. Arromand expressed. "She needed the weekend just to decompress," he added, as she grappled with the shocking revelation of Heuermann's arrest.    The Friday discovery marked a shocking turn of events, leaving St. Arromand and his client to grapple with the chilling reality that a man they thought they knew well could be capable of such horrendous acts. This narrative is a sobering reminder of how little we might know about those we interact with daily and the mysteries that might lurk beneath the surface. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts AD-FREE?

A glance into the developing defense strategy of the alleged University of Idaho killer, Bryan Kohberger, sparks intrigue in legal circles. As new court filings trickle in, they shed light on the complexities and potential cracks in the prosecution's case, primarily revolving around the DNA evidence.   The primary shocker in this saga is DNA evidence from three men at the murder scene, a revelation made by defense attorney Jay Weston Logsdon. In an objection to the state's motion for a protective order, Logsdon brought this to the forefront, stating that the investigators discovered DNA from two men inside the house and a third outside, all contained on a glove. However, none of this DNA belonged to Kohberger. Moreover, Logsdon points out that the investigators never ran these samples through the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) to find a potential match.   The defense, spearheaded by Kohberger and his lawyer, vehemently sought a detailed account of the use of genetic genealogy. This technique, deployed by the FBI, was instrumental in initially identifying Kohberger as a person of interest in the case. The state, however, dismissed these results. They argue that the match between the DNA found on a knife sheath at the crime scene and the DNA from a buccal swab provided by Kohberger renders the genetic genealogy irrelevant to the trial, thereby ignoring its potential role in establishing the suspect's innocence or guilt.    In response to the state's position, the defense outlines its perception of the holes in the case, with the DNA conundrum being the first to be pointed out. The presence of multiple DNA samples from different men at the crime scene could potentially account for the six weeks it took to apprehend Kohberger. During this time, many potential suspects were under investigation, their DNA samples collected, and their personal belongings examined for potential evidence.   Moreover, the defense makes a startling claim. Despite the ongoing investigations and DNA examinations, there was a total absence of DNA evidence linking the victims to Kohberger's apartment, office, home, or vehicle. This allegation casts a shadow over the prosecution's claims and raises significant questions.   According to the defense, another significant potential hole in the prosecution's case is the identification of the suspect's car. The probable cause affidavit vaguely mentions a "white sedan" but fails to disclose its make or model. Logsdon reveals that only one sighting of the vehicle could definitively link it to a Hyundai Elantra, the model-driven and owned by Kohberger.   The uncertainty over how the police concluded that the car was an Elantra adds to the growing list of questions. An FBI report dated March 21, 2023, heavily relied on video footage of a car moving in the wrong direction and at the wrong time on Ridge Rd. However, the details of this connection remain shrouded in ambiguity.   Amid all these doubts and as Kohberger delays providing an alibi, the prosecution appears to be dragging their feet when establishing a clear motive, adding more ambiguity to the proceedings. Logsdon points out that, as of his filing the objection, the prosecutors have failed to present any evidence of a connection between Kohberger and the victims.   This entire chain of events and revelations has made this case a subject of national attention. The interest intensified over the six weeks it took to arrest Kohberger and has continued to grow. The case took an unexpected turn when Kohberger was finally apprehended at his childhood home in Pennsylvania in the early morning of Dec. 30.   Authorities found the bodies of four University of Idaho students in a house just off the school's Moscow campus in November. In the following weeks, as the case unfolded, they matched DNA from trash pulled from Kohberger's home to DNA found on a knife sheath discovered at the murder scene with the help of genetic genealogy.   Despite the gripping revelations and legal maneuvers, one key piece of evidence remains missing - the weapon that killed Madison Mogen, 21; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20. With the trial set to commence soon and the judge yet to rule on the state's motion for a protective order, everyone involved in the investigation and trial is holding their breath. As the world watches, the question is, will Bryan Kohberger walk free, or will justice be served? Only time will tell. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts AD-FREE?

In a bewildering turn of events, the woman dating James Craig, a Colorado dentist accused of poisoning his wife, opened up about her bewildering experience. She insists that she was unaware of James Craig's marital status during their brief relationship. Karin Cain, who became entwined in this disturbing tale of alleged deceit and murder, shared her narrative in an exclusive interview with ABC News, maintaining she never foresaw the chilling revelations that would follow their encounters.    According to Cain, her brief association with James Craig was not the motive behind Angela Craig's alleged poisoning, contradicting what one might naturally assume given the circumstances. Cain insists she had no plans for a future with Craig; they had been dating for a mere three weeks when the incident occurred. She reiterated that Craig had led her to believe he and his wife were separated. She unequivocally stated, "If I had known what was true, I would not have been with this person."   Cain, a Texas resident, is still grappling with the magnitude of the ordeal involving James Craig, who was charged with first-degree murder following his wife's untimely death due to suspected arsenic poisoning. James, arrested in March, is set to attend a preliminary hearing soon. His wife Angela, 43, and mother to his children was hospitalized thrice over a ten-day span before her life tragically ended.   The details surrounding Angela's death point to a complicated family dynamic. According to an affidavit, Angela's sister alleged that James Craig had multiple affairs. The situation becomes murkier when we consider Cain's account of her relationship with James.   They met at a dentist conference in February, where Cain, in the midst of her own divorce, connected with Craig over shared experiences. She claims Craig lied about his marital status, telling her he was also going through a divorce and living separately from his wife.   However, authorities assert that James Craig poisoned his wife's protein shakes, leading to her demise. Investigators found that he allegedly created a new email address on a computer at his dental practice and conducted online searches that included phrases like "How many grams of pure arsenic will kill a human" and "Is arsenic detectable in autopsy." Moreover, he allegedly purchased arsenic online, and the shipment arrived at his home shortly before Angela started showing symptoms of illness.   One of the more disturbing details from the affidavit is a text exchange between Angela and James Craig, where Angela expressed feeling dizzy and drugged. James Craig responded with an apparent assurance that he hadn't drugged her, yet Angela's sister disclosed to investigators that Angela had been drugged in the past, allegedly by her husband.   The narrative reaches a chilling climax when, during Angela's final hospitalization, James' business partner reveals an unusual delivery of potassium cyanide to their dental practice. This disclosure led to a nurse alerting the police, adding a sinister twist to the investigation.   During this complicated case, Cain visited James Craig in Colorado. She recalls his stressed and anxious demeanor during their dinners, oblivious to the grim developments back at home.   Cain, who maintains that their relationship was never consummated, expressed profound remorse for the victims and the family. She remains haunted by the realization of her unsuspecting role in this tragic saga, one that is a chilling reminder of how deeply intertwined our lives can become in the deceit of others.

In a world where justice and accountability are often considered two sides of the same coin, a bewildering case from South Carolina challenges our shared sense of what these terms mean. The matter in question involves the tragic February 2019 boat crash, allegedly caused by Alex Murdaugh's son Paul, that led to the death of 19-year-old Mallory Beach and injured several others. In an unexpected twist, the $15 million settlement reportedly reached in the lawsuits that arose from this horrific event now poses questions about who is truly bearing the cost of these legal settlements.    Alex Murdaugh, the infamous South Carolina attorney, found himself at the center of a tangled web of litigation following the boat accident near Parris Island. As per local news reports, most of the settlement sum is intended for Beach's family, whose lives have been irrevocably altered by this tragedy. Remarkably, others on the boat at the time of the crash, all passengers who survived the calamity, joined forces with Beach's relatives to launch their lawsuits.    What's peculiar is that the legal action was not solely directed at Murdaugh because he owned the boat. Parker's, a store where Paul Murdaugh, underage at the time, allegedly purchased alcohol using a fake ID before the crash, was also targeted in the lawsuits. This highlights the extent of accountability that retailers are expected to bear when minors manage to acquire their products unlawfully.    Mark Tinsley, the attorney representing the Beach family, provided a statement in which he underlined this responsibility. He argued that this settlement should serve as a stern warning to all retailers who may contemplate or unwittingly facilitate the illegal sale of alcohol to a minor. The stakes are high, and they will be held accountable for any resulting misconduct.    As the dust begins to settle, an unsettling detail emerges. The legal teams for Parker's suggested that the insurers opt for settlement instead of a trial. It was feared that Alex Murdaugh's notoriety, following his conviction for the June 2021 murders of his wife, Margaret, and son Paul, might lead to a more considerable award if the case proceeded to trial. A chilling realization of how a case as convoluted as this one can be influenced by external factors, such as the public perception of a central figure like Murdaugh.    For context, Paul Murdaugh was seen in a store security video buying alcohol the night of the accident. He was only 19 and not legally allowed to purchase alcohol, leading investigators to believe he used his older brother's ID for the transaction. That fateful night, he reportedly drank with his friends, including Mallory Beach, before taking them on a fatal ride in his father's boat, ultimately leading to the tragic accident.    In the aftermath of the boat crash, Paul Murdaugh faced legal proceedings for Beach's death, during which he was out on bail. However, his life and his mother's were abruptly cut short in a shocking murder incident at their family home.    In a twist of events that seems lifted from the pages of a gripping crime novel, Alex Murdaugh was convicted of the murders of his wife and son in March. Prosecutors argued that he orchestrated the killings as a diversionary tactic after being caught stealing millions from his law firm. This intricate plot is now the subject of documentaries on HBO and Netflix.    In this case, the absurdity of who will bear the settlement costs underscores the convoluted nature of accountability in our legal system. A system that, in its quest for justice, sometimes raises more questions than it answers. . Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts AD-FREE?

The labyrinthine legal saga of Bryan Kohberger's prosecution has gripped the nation, with the realm of DNA evidence emerging as a central player. The question on everyone's mind: Is there more DNA evidence in the Kohberger case?   DNA: The Silent Witness Forensic science has revolutionized the world of crime-solving. Within this arena, DNA evidence is considered the gold standard. In Kohberger's case, the prosecution has relied heavily on DNA evidence to connect him to the crime scene. But is that all there is, or does the genetic minefield hold more secrets?   The Genetic Genealogy Goldmine In a surprising turn of events, genetic genealogy was employed in Kohberger's case, a relatively new entrant in forensic investigations. This complex process involves creating a family tree from DNA data. The question remains: could this technique uncover additional evidence linked to Kohberger?   Unidentified DNA Profiles: An Enigma Wrapped in a Mystery Kohberger's defense pointed out the presence of DNA from three unidentified males found at the crime scene. This revelation raises a slew of questions. Who do these DNA samples belong to, and could they yield further evidence in the case?   Beyond the Crime Scene: The DNA Trail Law enforcement has made significant strides in collecting DNA evidence not just from the crime scene, but also from other locations related to the suspect. Could further analysis of Kohberger's personal belongings or living spaces provide additional DNA evidence?   DNA: A Double-Edged Sword? While DNA evidence can be potent, it is not infallible. Mistakes in collection, storage, or analysis can lead to wrongful convictions. As such, both the prosecution and defense need to tread cautiously in using DNA evidence. Could a closer inspection of the DNA evidence collection process unveil more facts?   Conclusion DNA evidence stands as a silent, unbiased witness in any crime. However, its interpretation is subject to human error and bias. In the Kohberger case, the call for more DNA evidence reflects our collective faith in science to deliver justice. As we wait with bated breath, it remains to be seen what new revelations the genetic code may hold. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts AD-FREE?

Long Island, New York - In an unexpected twist to the notorious Gilgo Beach murder investigation, Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect, was arrested and charged with the decade-old crimes. The Long Island resident had, until recently, led an ostensibly unassuming life as a husband, father, and respected professional in Manhattan.    Heuermann is alleged to be the man behind the gruesome Gilgo Beach murders, which took the lives of at least four women, leaving a trail of mystery in their wake. The victims, now known as the "Gilgo Four," were wrapped in burlap sacks along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo State Park in December 2010.    Sources close to the investigation revealed that Heuermann had been identified as a person of interest more than a year ago, following a crucial DNA match. The DNA was retrieved from a pizza crust discarded by Heuermann and later tested in the Suffolk County Crime Laboratory. The results indicated Heuermann could not be ruled out as a contributor to the male hair found on the burlap used to transport victim Megan Waterman.    Adding to the web of evidence was Heuermann's suspicious online activity, which included searches related to the Gilgo Beach murders and family members of the victims, as per statements made by District Attorney Raymond Tierney.    News of the arrest has shocked those who knew Heuermann. "He looked like an everyday guy, a regular neighbor," said Barry Auslander, a local resident. A former classmate of Berner High School, where Heuermann graduated in 1981, expressed disbelief, calling him a person who "flew under the radar."    Interestingly, records indicate that during the times when victims Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello disappeared, Heuermann's wife, Asa Ellerup, was either out of the country or in New York state. The couple has two children, and Victoria, their daughter, was previously listed as an employee of her father’s architecture firm, RH Architects.    Heuermann's arrest has given renewed hope to the victims' families and reopened old wounds. Sherre Gilbert, the sister of Shannan Gilbert, whose disappearance led to the discovery of the Gilgo Four, said she was relieved at the arrest, adding that Heuermann "deserves to rot in prison."    As the residents of the tranquil suburb grapple with the revelations, questions linger about the seemingly ordinary man living amongst them. Rex Heuermann, now unmasked as the Long Island Serial Killer, continues to be the subject of intense scrutiny as the legal proceedings unfold. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts AD-FREE?

In an unprecedented move that has sparked widespread debate, former Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten has been released from prison. Van Houten, who played a significant role in the notorious Manson family murders, is now free, raising profound questions about societal consequences and potential implications for the American criminal justice system. This shocking decision has thrust the issue of reintegrating convicted murderers into society into the limelight, reigniting discussions on crime, punishment, rehabilitation, and societal safety.    Leslie Van Houten, once a key member of the infamous Manson family, was convicted for her role in the gruesome LaBianca murders that rocked the nation in the late 1960s. Her release after over five decades behind bars has caused a significant stir, not only among the surviving families of her victims but across society at large. The impact of this decision reverberates through various societal strata, from public safety concerns to the broader question of whether our penal system effectively rehabilitates violent offenders.    From a public safety perspective, the release of a convicted murderer poses potential risks. The community may fear the presence of an individual associated with such heinous crimes, fostering unease and insecurity. The Manson murders were some of the most chilling in American history. Van Houten's freedom can serve as a distressing reminder of these horrific events, particularly for those who lived through that tumultuous time.    Moreover, Van Houten's release raises important questions about the efficacy of the criminal justice system in rehabilitating violent offenders. While the justice system's goal is to reform convicts and prepare them for reintegration into society, public opinion often questions whether individuals who commit atrocious crimes can genuinely be reformed.    On the other hand, advocates of prison reform argue that even those convicted of the most severe crimes should have the opportunity for redemption. They posit that decades spent behind bars, coupled with rehabilitation efforts, can bring about a transformation, even in those who once followed the dark path of someone like Charles Manson.    Van Houten's release may also influence the debate surrounding parole for elderly prisoners. At 72, Van Houten's age and her time spent in prison could be factors that weighed in favor of her parole. With a rapidly aging prison population, this case might set a precedent, leading to more paroles being granted to elderly inmates who have served long sentences.    The societal impact of releasing convicted murderers like Leslie Van Houten back into society is vast and multifaceted. It forces us to grapple with uncomfortable questions about crime, punishment, and redemption. As a society, we must consider whether individuals who have committed horrendous crimes can change and whether they should have the chance to reintegrate into society after serving their sentences.    This moment in criminal justice history serves as a catalyst for discussions on the future direction of our justice system. The dialogue it prompts may lead to significant changes in policies and perceptions surrounding crime, punishment, and rehabilitation. Regardless of individual opinions on the Van Houten release, the societal impact of this decision is undeniable and will likely continue to resonate in the years to come.

In the latest update on a disturbing crime case from Aurora, Colorado, 45-year-old dentist James Craig faces charges of first-degree murder for allegedly poisoning his wife, Angela Craig, using cyanide and an ingredient commonly found in eyedrops.   Court documents reveal that Craig reportedly used cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a decongestant found in eyedrops, to end his wife's life. The shocking revelation has not only devastated the local community but also attracted national media attention.   According to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, James Craig is charged with first-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence. He’s currently being held on a $10 million cash bond.   Investigation documents expose a chilling timeline of events. In the days leading up to Angela's death, Craig allegedly purchased cyanide and arsenic, a potent poison. He is suspected of adding the lethal concoction to his wife’s protein shakes. Craig reportedly used a public computer at his dental practice, Summerbrook Dental, to search for subjects such as "How many grams of pure arsenic will kill a human," "How to make poison," "Is Arsenic Detectable in Autopsy," and "how to make a murder look like a heart attack."   The affidavit further claims that James Craig purchased the poison on Amazon, one of the world's largest online marketplaces. This detail raises significant questions about the sale and distribution of potentially lethal substances online.   In March, Angela Craig was taken to the hospital due to severe headaches and dizziness. Her health condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to her being declared medically brain-dead and taken off life support. The Aurora Police began investigating her "suspicious death" and, upon discovering she was poisoned, arrested James Craig on suspicion of murder.   Further insight into the case suggests a turbulent marriage marked by James Craig's infidelity. It is reported that Angela wanted to leave her husband, but he "always convinced her to stay." While his wife was hospitalized, Craig allegedly met with a woman named Karin Cain, exchanging intimate and sexually explicit emails with her. Cain, who had no knowledge of Craig's marital status, expressed regret about her involvement with him in an exclusive interview with ABC News.   Craig's financial situation also raises concerns. Detective Bobbi Olson suggested money may have been another motive for Angela Craig's murder. The couple had life insurance policies worth $3.4 million, and Craig's dental practice, Summerbrook Dental, was reportedly struggling.   The defense, however, painted a different picture, arguing that the couple's relationship was affectionate and the dental practice was profitable. They also raised the question of whether the poison was intended for Angela Craig or for James Craig himself, noting his previous suicide attempt.   This chilling case sheds light on the unseen struggles within seemingly perfect middle-class lives. As Craig awaits his trial, the public and media continue to watch with bated breath, hoping for justice in Angela Craig's tragic death. The legal proceedings for this case will undoubtedly serve as a stark reminder of the grim reality that can lurk beneath the surface of everyday life. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts Ad-Free?

In a peculiar turn of events that has riveted Houston and the nation at large, 26-year-old Rudy Farias, who was thought to have been missing for eight years, gave a revealing first interview since the unusual circumstances of his situation came to light. Speaking to the local Fox affiliate in Houston, Farias, whose face was hidden at his request, provided a harrowing account of his life, likening his existence to confinement in a "prison."    "It's as if I lived in a prison," Farias confided, his voice laced with palpable emotion. "I just wanted to be free. I just wanted to live my life." The supposed prison was not a conventional jail with concrete walls and steel bars. Instead, it was the home of his own mother, Janie Santana, a place where he alleges he was held captive for close to a decade.    For years, Santana did not physically restrain him or barricade him in their northeast Texas home. Instead, she allegedly employed psychological tactics, using the potency of her threats and a barrage of negative affirmations to dominate and control him. The emotional toll from this treatment was evident as Farias fought back tears during the interview. He made his feelings towards his mother quite clear, stating, "I don't want any contact with her at all. I just want to live my life away from her."    Farias claims that he was compelled to work excessively long hours, almost enslaved by labor, earning a meager $60 for twelve-hour shifts worked seven days a week. The manipulation and control even extended to his identity, with Farias asserting that he was made to assume a false name.    Farias was quick to address rumors that had been swirling about his relationship with his mother, flatly denying allegations of sexual involvement. He did, however, admit to his mother's attempts to blur the lines of their relationship, violating his personal boundaries in ways that made him uncomfortable.    It was a life of manipulation, alleged Farias, a life where his mother persistently made him believe that he was a fugitive. She had him convinced that surfacing from his enforced hiding would lead to his immediate arrest. In one instance, while driving his mother's car, he was pulled over by the police. His mother, he claimed, instructed him to use a fake name, as she feared he would be arrested. This account seems to align with reports from Houston Police Lt. Christopher Zamora, who confirmed that there had been past interactions between the Houston Police Department and Farias and Santana, where false names and dates of birth had been provided.    Farias painted a picture of an isolated existence where he was instructed to remain hidden when friends and family visited. His mother's orders were clear, he said: stay quiet, stay out of sight. "I was stuck at home," he shared with visible distress. "Somebody would come up, my mom would just tell me to stay in the room, keep the doors locked, don't let them in. Don't make any sounds."    The perplexing saga of Farias' disappearance and reappearance has drawn significant media attention. Last July, Farias was believed to have been found outside a church, with his mother seemingly confirming the news on social media. But the Houston Police Department refuted this narrative, revealing that Farias had actually returned home the day after he was reported missing in 2015.    Janie Santana, who has not responded to multiple attempts for comment, remains an enigma in this strange tale. Despite the grave allegations made by her son, she has not been charged in connection with his disappearance. The truth behind the Rudy Farias story remains a mystery, the answers to which are eagerly awaited by a captivated public. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts Ad-Free?

In an unfolding story of crime and justice, the Michigan Attorney General's Office announced on June 30 that a man wanted for murder charges, who had managed to escape from custody, had been apprehended in Lincoln County, Montana. The suspect, identified as 42-year-old Chadwick Shane Mobley, was being transported back to Michigan, facing charges linked to a decade-old murder case. The case was re-ignited in 2022 after new DNA evidence allegedly linked Mobley to the fatal shooting of Andrea Eilber in 2011.    The murder of Andrea Eilber, who was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head at a relative's residence in Lapeer, Michigan, has been a long-standing case on the books. Despite the initial discovery of DNA evidence at the scene, the case went cold as the testing did not produce any results. However, investigators revisited the evidence in 2022, leading them to Mobley. The charges brought against him include first-degree murder, felony murder, and felony firearm.    The saga took an unexpected turn on July 9. As Mobley was being transported back to Michigan by U.S. Marshals, a stop at the Plains Town Pump gas station in Montana resulted in an audacious escape attempt. In a shocking lapse of security, Mobley somehow managed to free himself from his handcuffs and ankle shackles and disappeared from the area.    The escape prompted an immediate alert from the Sanders County Sheriff’s Office, warning local residents to secure their homes and vehicles and to keep a vigilant eye out for Mobley. The alert marked the beginning of a nearly 32-hour manhunt.    Relief arrived on July 10, when at 6:08 p.m., Mobley was finally located and apprehended by the Sanders County Sheriff’s Office and the Plains Police Department. Following the security lapse, officials in Sanders County announced that they would not be using a third-party service for Mobley's transport back to Michigan.    However, the capture of Mobley is only one facet of an ongoing drama. Officials are also engaged in an extensive search for Michael Burham, another inmate who made a daring escape from the Warren County Prison in Pennsylvania. Burham, who was in custody on charges of arson and burglary, is also a person of interest in a separate homicide case. Further escalating the seriousness of his escape, Burham is accused of carjacking and kidnapping a couple in a desperate bid to evade capture.    According to the Erie Times-News, Burham managed his escape by scaling the prison roof using a pull-up machine in the prison yard, and then employing sheets tied together to descend the prison walls. Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens added to the chilling narrative, describing Burham as a "self-taught survivalist with military training" and "very dangerous."    As the search for Burham continues, officials believe that he may be receiving outside assistance. Authorities have reportedly discovered small stockpiles or campsites in the surrounding wooded areas, containing supplies that would assist him with a prolonged stay in the wilderness.    The separate yet interconnected stories of Mobley and Burham present a sobering view of the ongoing battles in the fight for justice. As authorities continue to close in on Burham, they hope justice will soon be served in the cold case of Andrea Eilber. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts Ad-Free?

In an unsettling incident last month, a 34-year-old man, identified as Brandon Lee Buschman, was found deceased in an antiquated chest freezer in a vacant residence. The Gilbert Police Department attended the scene at 304 4th Ave. in Biwabik, Minnesota and noted that the freezer had a peculiar feature – an old-fashioned latching mechanism outside, making it impossible to push open from within.   Officers received the distressing report about the body on June 26 at 3:30 p.m. Upon arriving at the scene, they discovered the freezer was stowed away in the property's basement. The appliance was not connected to electricity, with the utilities in the residence having been shut off since April 2022. According to the police, the property had been unoccupied since February 2022.    The freezer was described as an older model. Its construction included a feature that, in modern times, would be deemed a safety hazard: an external latching mechanism. The design was such that once shut, the latch could not be manipulated from inside the freezer. The chilling scenario that unfolded as a result is a stark reminder of how design choices once deemed acceptable can have dire consequences.    Buschman, the victim in this case, had reportedly been on the run due to an outstanding warrant for his arrest. The specific charges that led to the warrant remain unspecified by the Gilbert Police. According to the police statement, Buschman entered the freezer on his own, likely seeking a hiding spot, spurred by the fear of possible police presence. He was last seen fleeing towards the upstairs area of the house.    Investigators at the scene found a metal rod, presumably a lawn ornament, lodged in a desperate bid to unlatch the freezer from the inside. The rod was jammed between the gasket and the edge of the freezer, making it impossible to manipulate the latch. This discovery paints a harrowing picture of Buschman's final moments, underscoring the tragic outcome of his hide-and-seek with law enforcement.    The Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office undertook an autopsy and stated that no signs of trauma or injury were found on Buschman's body. Despite this preliminary observation, the final autopsy results are pending. This incident has brought forth numerous questions that only the completion of the police investigation and the final autopsy report can hope to answer.   The tragic and peculiar circumstances of Brandon Lee Buschman's death are a chilling reminder of the lengths people may go to evade the law and the unforeseen dangers lurking in the most mundane objects when fear sets in. It highlights the importance of safety considerations in everyday appliances and brings to the forefront the dire need for properties to be appropriately secured, particularly when vacant.

In the latest edition of Murder In The Morning, Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole delve deep into the enigmatic case of Rudy Farias, a Houston man who was reported missing as a teenager and suddenly reappeared after eight years. A saga filled with allegations of deceit and abuse, the case turns dark with Farias' cousin, Michelle Rodriguez, accusing Farias' mother of years of maltreatment and accusing the Houston Police Department of a potential "cover-up."    The story began on March 7, 2015, when Farias' mother, Janie Santana, reported him missing at the age of 17. His unexpected reappearance on June 29, 2023, was initially celebrated as a "miracle", but in a startling twist, police revealed that Farias was never actually missing. According to Lt. Christopher Zamora, Farias returned home the day after his mother reported him missing, and both Santana and Farias provided law enforcement with "fictitious names and dates of birth".   In a web of allegations and contradictions, activist Quanell X claimed that Farias had reported being sexually abused by his mother for years - a claim denied by the police. Meanwhile, Rodriguez, in her interview with FOX7, alleges that the abuse had started before the missing person report. She said, "His mother had been seen by my late grandma causing abuse to Rudy sexually, physically, mentally. This did not just start when Janie reported Rudy missing."   The layers of deceit run deeper, with Santana allegedly using the funds raised to search for her supposedly kidnapped son for personal use. Quanell X alleged that she used the funds for vacations and personal expenses. Despite these revelations, the district attorney declined to charge Santana for the fake reports, although the investigation is ongoing.   Rodriguez, in an emotionally charged statement, insisted on the truth being revealed, saying, "It’s all going to come out, you can't hide, nothing is going to be hidden, so whatever you think you can hide, good luck it’s coming out."   The case takes a further grim turn with Pauline Sanchez Rodriguez, Farias’ aunt, expressing frustration with the authorities' inaction. She told reporters that her late mother, Rosa Sosa Rodriguez, had been living with Santana and had repeatedly informed relatives that Farias was at their house. Court records suggest a troubled history with Santana, as her 2012 marriage was annulled due to accusations of her having at least five other spouses.   Join Brueski and Cole as they dissect this twisted narrative of alleged deceit and abuse, in an episode that highlights the lengths to which individuals might go to maintain a façade of falsehood. It’s a chilling examination of the human capacity for deceit and the terrible price paid by those caught in its web. . Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts Ad-Free?

In this episode, Stacy and Carol explore the tragic case of Phoebe Copas, a Kentucky woman who has been charged with murder for fatally shooting her Uber driver in El Paso, Texas. Copas claimed she believed the driver was kidnapping her and taking her to Mexico, which led to the mistaken shooting. However, authorities have found no evidence to support these claims or any deviation from Copas's intended destination. We discuss the speculation surrounding the influence of negative assumptions about the southern U.S. border on Copas's state of mind, while also hearing from Daniel Piedra Garcia's niece, who shares that he enjoyed his work as an Uber driver and was excited to meet new people.

In this podcast episode, Stacy Cole and Carol Hughes delve into the story of Dr. Morris Wortman, a well-known OB-GYN based in western New York. Despite his prominence, Dr. Wortman faced protests from anti-abortion activists. However, in 2021, a lawsuit was filed against him by the daughter of one of his former patients who had become pregnant in the 1980s. Shockingly, the lawsuit alleged that Dr. Wortman had secretly used his own sperm during artificial insemination, deceiving the patient by falsely claiming that the donor was a local medical student. The lawsuit also revealed that Dr. Wortman kept this secret even after the daughter, who turned out to be his biological child, became his gynecology patient. Then, there is a twist ending to the story. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts Ad-Free?

In a distressing turn of events, three children from former FLDS member Lorraine Jessop's family disappeared under suspicious circumstances on February 4, 2023. Despite theories of the children running away, Jessop and other mothers from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, with similar experiences, suspect a more troubling scenario. They fear that someone from the church, or following its instructions, may have abducted their children. The mothers, experts, and FLDS scholars are particularly alarmed by the imprisoned prophet Warren Jeffs' recent prophecies, which include a call for children of ex-members to return to the church and predictions of a mass demise like the Jonestown tragedy.

In the trial of former Broward Sheriff's deputy Scot Peterson, prosecutors have concluded their case, asserting Peterson's failure to stop the tragic 2018 Parkland school shooting. Central to the case was the gripping testimony of Detective John Curcio, who traced Peterson's actions during the shooting based on surveillance videos. Despite the prosecution's claim that Peterson knew the shooter's location and chose not to confront him, the defense insists Peterson was disoriented by the echoes of the gunshots. If convicted, 60-year-old Peterson could face almost a century in prison and lose his annual pension of $104,000. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts Ad-Free?

Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole recently delved into the spine-chilling case of Jung Yoo-Jung, a 23-year-old woman in Busan, South Korea, indicted for a gruesome murder that seemed to stem from an obsession with true crime. Under family pressure, Jung confessed to the calculated murder of her tutor, an act seemingly driven by her fascination with murder, as she consumed true crime TV shows and books. After luring her tutor under the guise of seeking English lessons for a child, Jung reportedly stabbed her to death and dismembered her body, even using the victim's clothes and personal belongings to stage a perfect crime. However, she was caught following suspicious behavior, leading to a grim investigation that raises questions about the impacts of true crime fascination and her seemingly unemotional response to the brutal act.

In this episode, we delve into the shocking allegations against the Anatomical Gift Association of Illinois (AGA), a Chicago-based non-profit dedicated to facilitating human body donations for scientific research. An insider, Dale Wheatley, accuses the AGA of severe mishandling of donated bodies, revealing conditions so dire that medical institutions have reportedly returned bodies due to their deplorable state. Wheatley's claims, which include instances of improper embalming and even rat infestations, contradict AGA's public image of upholding "highest standards of responsiveness, respect, privacy, and security." Join us as we unpack this grave issue and investigate the silence from AGA's leadership in response to these allegations. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts Ad-Free?

A California appeals court has ruled that Leslie Van Houten, a former member of the Charles Manson cult who participated in two murders in 1969, should be released on parole. This ruling overrules previous decisions by Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Gov. Jerry Brown, who denied Van Houten's parole due to their belief she still poses a danger to society.

The parents of Bryan Kohberger, the man indicted for the murders of four University of Idaho students, have been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, where they reside and where their son was arrested. According to an informed source, Kohberger's father is expected to give his testimony in a sealed proceeding on Thursday, following the earlier testimony of Kohberger's mother. Despite attempts by their lawyer to have the subpoenas dismissed, Pennsylvania law permits the release of grand jury witness testimonies to other investigative agencies, implying their statements may be shared with Idaho prosecutors. This arrangement was confirmed by the same source. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts Ad-Free?

Kouri Richins, a Utah-based author and mother of three, has been charged with aggravated murder and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute in connection to her husband Eric Richins' death in 2022. Family members voiced suspicions about Kouri's involvement in Eric's death, noting that he had feared she might harm him. According to court documents, Eric became ill on multiple occasions after consuming food or drinks provided by Kouri, culminating in his death due to a fentanyl overdose in March 2022. Investigators discovered messages on Kouri's phone with an individual from whom she obtained prescription pain medication, including fentanyl. Want to listen to ALL of our Podcasts Ad-Free?

In this episode, we dive deep into the disturbing case of Kouri Richins, a 33-year-old grief author, who stands accused of murdering her husband, Eric, with a lethal dose of illicit fentanyl. We dissect the inconsistencies in Kouri's account of the night of the incident, the digital evidence that contradicts her claims, and the incriminating communications with a shady acquaintance. As the investigation progresses, the story takes a chilling turn, revealing Eric's fears of being poisoned and Kouri's alleged continued procurement of the deadly drug. We end with Kouri's haunting tribute to her husband on social media, a stark contrast to the horrifying crime she's charged with. Want to listen to ALL of our Podcasts Ad-Free?

New episodes will start dropping very soon, follow and subscribe so you don't miss any of them! Also join our Facebook Discussion Group for the latest on this case. https://www.facebook.com/groups/834636321133023/ Search: "Idaho College Murders | 4 Killed Four What" on facebook.  It began like any other typical Saturday night on campus in the middle of the little town of Moscow, Idaho. A placid and, for the most part, extremely secure college town that has not experienced a single homicide since the year 2015. So everything was going swimmingly with life. A gathering of friends, some of whom are heading to the bar and others of whom are going to get some food. Everyone would eventually run out of steam and retire to the rental house for some late-night chitchat, phone calls, and texting, as early twentysomethings typically do practically every night. Finally getting more comfortable for a restful night's sleep, the kind of sleep that only a college student who had been out late in the night laughing with friends could have. Where you go to sleep one night and wake up the following afternoon feeling a little foggy but with the energy to do it all over again. However, the four college students who sadly are the focus of our narrative were doomed to never see the sunlight of that next day, their fate was sealed the moment they fell asleep. Conversely, some of them awoke to the sensation of a sharp, jagged blade penetrating through their flesh and bone, with so much force, that vast quantities of blood would come rushing out of their bodies, in a horrifying crime scene that would befuddle and traumatize senior investigators who had seen a fair bit in their careers, at the abject horror of it all.  I mean, it doesn't happen all that frequently, that blood will pool to the level that it will starts to run down the outside of a house, but still it did indeed happen in this case. Everyone who was present in the house must have heard the commotion, and everyone in the house was likely a victim of this garish assailant. Well, as it turns out, two roommates were able to sleep through it all. It makes sense when you consider that it was a silent weapon, and if you are able to catch your victims off guard while they are sleeping, it is plausible that someone in another room, or even on a different floor of the house, could just as easily have been unaware of what was occurring just feet from their doors. They would awaken to discover their friends lying quite soundly,  or so they though, not reacting to much of anything, which would prompt them to telephone 911, only to find out that their friend was not only unresponsive but also tragically died in their bed. And the blood? Why, it was sprayed everywhere in the house. Something that one may reasonably anticipate observing relatively immediately. After everything was said and done, Ethan, Kaylee, Xana, and Madison were no longer alive. Their spirits suddenly ripped from their bodies and pulled from this earth with the rapid thrust of a blade. When the police became aware of the situation, they would swiftly advise the general public that there was no danger and to resume carrying on their lives as usual. Only to withdraw those words when a significant period had passed. With realization that the culprit responsible for the crime remained a mystery and that they were currently at large. Who is this murderer, and why did they choose to take the lives of four cherished kids on this chilly night in late autumn? This is the question that we now have, Why Were 4 Killed, and for what?  This is 4 Killed For What, The Idaho College Murders podcast.  A podcast which will follow and discuss the case from what we know in the moment to however this nightmare transpires.

After his partner gave birth, a 30-year-old man is suspected of shooting and killing two hospital staff members. On Saturday, October 22 at around 10:21 a.m., Nestor Hernandez allegedly entered the labor and delivery unit at Methodist Dallas Medical Center, where his girlfriend had recently given birth, according to a press release from the Dallas Police Department. He allegedly pulled out a firearm and began repeatedly shooting at her in that location. According to KDFW-TV, Hernandez accused his fiancée of cheating on him while their newborn baby was in the same room. To paraphrase what he allegedly said to her: "We are both going to die today" and "Whoever comes in this room is going to die with us." Police said that 45-year-old hospital worker Jaqueline Pokuaa entered the room to care for the patient after Hernandez had hit the patient, and that Hernandez shot her. Katie Flowers, a 63-year-old nurse, allegedly heard the gunshot from the corridor and came to investigate. The perpetrator, according to police, also shot the victim.

Following Hernandez's exit from the ward, police say Rangel fired at him, striking the suspect in the leg. Hernandez reportedly returned to his hospital room, and a brief standoff developed between him and the police. Hernandez's leg was injured, and he was brought into custody and treated at a different facility in the area. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, authorities say.

Criminal District Attorney John Cruezot of Dallas County released the following statement on Monday, October 24: "I continue to feel horrified, stunned, and heartbroken by the terrible shooting at Methodist Hospital. Given the daily sacrifices made by our health care personnel, they deserve to operate in an environment free from the fear of violence, especially given that this is the kind of place where new life is usually celebrated."

Chae An allegedly assaulted Young An after becoming enraged and taped her up with duct tape. According to reports, the victim dialed 911 and alerted her contacts using her Apple Watch. KING claims that Chae Ann put his divorced wife in a van and took her to the woods. He allegedly attempted to bury her alive there by covering her with earth. According to the victim, she spent a couple hours underneath, according to KING. The woman was able to remove the tape from her arms on October 17 and flee. She reportedly spent about a half-hour walking through the woods before showing up at a residence on Stedman Road at around 12:52 a.m., when she informed the resident that her divorced husband had attempted to kill her. When Thurston County Sheriff's Office deputies arrived at the house, Young An reportedly informed them that Chae An had abducted her and taken her to the woods. According to NBC News, the woman was coated in mud and had severe bruises on her head, arms, and legs. According to reports, she was taken to a hospital for treatment of her non-life-threatening wounds. The victim's estranged husband was arrested at roughly 8:02 a.m., and, according to NBC News, he is currently being investigated on several counts, including first-degree attempted murder, first-degree kidnapping, and first-degree assault. According to KING, when authorities examined the wooded location the victim had described, they discovered a "hole consistent with a grave type design," some duct tape, and the woman's hair.

A woman in her 30s was recently charged with involuntary manslaughter following the death of her son, who was just four years old at the time of his death and was believed to have consumed an excessive amount of THC edibles. On May 8, a medical emergency involving the child occurred at a property located on Jamie Court, as stated in a press statement issued by the Sheriff of Spotsylvania County, Roger Harris. It is said that he passed away two days after that. Harris stated that additional inquiry led to the discovery that "a considerable quantity of THC gummies" were consumed by the toddler. It has been alleged that a doctor advised the authorities that the child's death could have been avoided if medical assistance had been provided to the infant quickly after consumption. The indictment of the infant's mother, Dorothy Annette Clements, on charges of felony murder and felony child negligence was announced by Harris on October 17 and came from a grand jury in Spotsylvania County. On October 20, three days after she was supposedly taken into custody, she was transported to the Rappahannock Regional Jail where she was held without bond.

New York police have arrested a 79-year-old man for the 1981 stabbing deaths of his in-laws. The murders of his in-laws in their Vermont home in 1989 have led to the arrest of a 79-year-old man from New York. A neighbor discovered George Peacock, 76, and Catherine Peacock, 73, dead in their home on U.S. Route 7 in Danby, Vermont, on September 17, 1989, according to a news release from the Vermont State Police. A number of stab wounds were reportedly found in the victims. No signs of forced entry were found, and no valuables were reported missing, according to the police. Michael Louise, the husband of one of the Peacocks' daughters, was named as a suspect two weeks after the bodies were discovered, police said. Authorities say they gathered circumstantial evidence linking Louise to the murders but were unable to provide a direct link. May of 2020 saw the announcement that a drop of blood found in Louise's car in October 1989 had been matched by DNA to George Peacock, according to the police. Earlier in the investigation, the blood sample was tested, but the results were inconclusive. Two counts of second-degree murder were filed against Louise on Thursday, October 13, after he was arrested at his home in Syracuse, New York. After being arrested in New York, he is currently being extradited to Vermont to face charges there.Share YOUR Crazy Family Story With Us Now!!

A Florida bodybuilder has been charged with his ex-murder girlfriend's after police discovered her skeletal remains in a burn pile in the backyard. A bodybuilder from Florida has been arrested for murder after charred remains were discovered in a backyard burn pile. Katie Samantha Baunach, 43, was last seen on September 29 and is presumed dead; her ex-husband, Ian Christopher Baunach, has been charged with murder. Katie had previously accused Baunach of abusing one of their children before she vanished. On the grounds of domestic violence, she was granted an injunction against him on behalf of their child. Katie's disappearance was reported to the police by a concerned friend who contacted the Hendry County Sheriff's Office. Katie had dropped off her two children at a friend's house on September 29 at approximately 9 o'clock in the evening, and was planning to pick up some of her personal belongings from Baunach's residence, as her friend later told police. Since then, no one had heard from her. The police found her car the next day in front of Baunach's house with her purse still inside. When police returned to the house with a search warrant, they discovered "evidence that a homicide had occurred there," as stated in the federal criminal complaint obtained by PEOPLE. After applying luminol, police allegedly discovered blood and signs of a struggle in the trunk of Baunach's car. The complaint states that "the wall was damaged and exposed screws in the wall where an object appeared to have previously been mounted." Law enforcement officials claim to have discovered 13 silencers and her wedding and engagement rings inside a safe. On October 1st, Baunach was questioned by the police. According to the complaint, on September 29, the ex-bodybuilder allegedly saw Katie after she called him and "said she needed gasoline for her vehicle." He claimed to police that an argument broke out between them after she arrived because of another woman, and that he subsequently went to bed to avoid further conflict. He claims that when he awoke, she was no longer there. The complaint states that when police questioned him about the blood in his car, he said it was "due to groceries that he had transported." As stated in the complaint, during the interview Baunach stated that they "did not have a body" of Katie Baunach and denied that she was a missing person. During a search of Baunach's property on the same day, police allegedly found "a fragment of a human mandible with an intact tooth in a fresh burn pile and discovered a blue fifty-gallon barrel near the burn pile which reeked of decaying flesh." Additional human bone fragments were found by law enforcement inside the barrel and around the burn pile. Baunach, a competitor in the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness, is also accused of failing to report a death to the medical examiner, cremating a body more than 48 hours after it was discovered, and destroying or concealing physical evidence. Federal authorities discovered silencers in his home, leading to additional charges of possession of an unregistered weapon. As of right now, he has zero bond and is being held in the Hendry County Jail. It has been reported by NBC News that a preliminary hearing will take place on October 20 or 21.

Due to a road rage incident in Florida, two fathers have been charged with attempted murder for shooting their daughters. Two girls were shot in Florida during what appears to have been a road rage incident, and both of the victims' fathers have been arrested on attempted murder charges. Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper stated in a press conference on Monday that on October 8, William Hale, 36, and Frank Allison, 43, were involved in a driving dispute while transporting their respective daughters in separate vehicles. A witness reportedly told 911 operators that the two men were driving recklessly and "brake checking" each other. According to the witness, the two men were engaged in a game of "cat and mouse" while driving. Sheriff Leeper addressed the media and explained the escalation to violence. For what it's worth, Leeper claims that when Hale pulled up next to Allison's gray Nissan Murano, the latter was in a black Dodge Ram. At this point, Hale yelled at Allison to stop. According to Leeper, one of Allison's Nissan's passengers made a lewd gesture toward Hale. Then, someone from Hale's car threw a water bottle at Allison's car. Leeper continued, saying that Allison then pulled out a Sig Saur 45mm handgun, fired one shot at Hale's truck, and then drove off. Hale's 5-year-old daughter was hit in the leg by a bullet. After hearing gunshots and realizing his daughter had been hit, Hale allegedly followed Allison's truck and fired multiple shots from his Glock 43 9mm handgun. Allison's daughter, who was 14 at the time, was shot in the back and had a lung collapse as a result of the impact. According to Leeper, the two men ignored a sheriff's car parked on the shoulder and continued driving at high speeds. They stopped the car and began punching each other until a deputy intervened. The two youngsters needed immediate medical attention and were taken there. It is anticipated that both will make a full recovery from their wounds. Share YOUR Crazy Family Story With Us Now!!

While his pregnant girlfriend was in the hospital giving birth in Texas, a man allegedly strangled their two newborn children. Authorities say an 18-year-old man entered a hospital's nursery and began choking infants. A disturbance was reported at Odessa Regional Medical Center on Monday, October 3, according to the Odessa Police Department. People working in the hospital told police that a man "forced his way into the nursery and began assaulting patients and staff." According to the police report, 18-year-old suspect Marcus McCowan Jr. "was aggressive toward officers, which led to a physical altercation." McCowan allegedly tried to remove an officer’s gun from the holster. According to McCowan's arrest affidavit, the incident took place at 6:30 p.m. while he was visiting his pregnant girlfriend at the hospital. Apparently, he went to the nursing station, grabbed an employee by the arm, and uttered a "unintelligible" phrase. The nurse reportedly asked him to leave, and he allegedly began running around the hallway. A mother who was holding her newborn claims that McCowan stared at her, prompting her to move the baby. The report continues, saying that he ran at the nurses and shoved them as he tried to enter the nursery. McCowan is accused of grabbing a baby he saw outside the nursery and taking it to the lactation room when he was denied entry. One of the nurses reportedly saw him put his hands around the infant's neck; however, the nurses were able to rescue the baby. A respiratory therapist claims to have seen McCowan enter the nursery and begin strangling another infant. It was also said that he picked up the infant and began shaking her. The affidavit states that the child's skin tone changed to blue. It appeared as though he was about to throw the infant to the ground after allegedly telling it to "die." The respiratory therapist successfully got McCowan down to the floor, where the kid's head was safe. According to his booking records, McCowan was taken into custody on two counts of attempted capital murder, as well as criminal trespass, assault, attempted weapon takeaway from an officer, resisting arrest, and drug possession. "Numerous charges are pending," the Odessa Police Department said. Two infants, two nurses, and an Odessa police officer were named as victims by the department.

Allegations of torturing a child and then covering up the injuries have been made against the child's father and three other relatives. A report of child abuse led deputies from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office to a home on Waspnest Road in Wellford, South Carolina on September 2, according to a press release. Reports indicate that at the scene, authorities learned that a child victim had been hidden from a Department of Social Services representative who had previously visited the home on multiple occasions in the course of her investigation.

They reportedly took the four kids in the house into protective custody right away. The Sheriff's Office reported that the victim was taken to the hospital for treatment of severe bruising and blood loss. A forensic physician reportedly concluded that the child "clearly met the criteria for a medical diagnosis of child torture" after conducting an examination. After being interviewed, the victim allegedly stated that all four family members had participated in the abuse. The Sheriff's Office reported that during their search of the Waspnest Road residence, they discovered additional evidence corroboration of the victim's disclosure.

Candice McElwee faces nine charges total, according to documents filed in Dauphin County Court. These include two counts of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault, and five counts of endangering the welfare of children.

McElwee's kids range in age from 3 down to 10 and up to 12. The younger children were staying with McElwee, while the older children (ages 10 and 12) were reportedly found at a relative's house. The witness claims she made these statements: "There's a problem that I'm having. I have a possessed child that I need to deal with, and I also need to "eliminate" one of my kids." The child McElwee felt compelled to "eliminate" would be "resurrected and all will be good again," according to reports. McElwee allegedly tried to "baptize" the kids by submerging their heads and threatening, "I'll drown my own daughter." McElwee also allegedly attempted to bury her children in a shallow grave using dirt and rocks. There were rumors that she warned of an impending flood and called the children's father the "son of the devil." McElwee has a $750,000 bond and is currently being held in the Dauphin County Jail.Share YOUR Crazy Family Story With Us Now!!
