  • Mother Forced To Rob Bank To Save Kidnapped Daughter Shares Her Story Over Twenty Years Later

    Mother Forced To Rob Bank To Save Kidnapped Daughter Shares Her Story Over Twenty Years Later

    On the night of November 21st, in the year 2000, a masked man and woman entered the home of Michelle Renee in San Diego County, California. After binding her and her 7-year-old daughter, Breea, with duct tape, and with guns at their heads, the duo explained what they wanted.

    “It was very much that mind control thing that they were doing, that, ‘we know everything about you,’” Renee said in an interview with CBS. They told her that they knew her day-to-day routine, and that she was a branch manager at a nearby bank. “You’re gonna rob the bank for us,” she remembers them telling her. “Or you will die, your daughter will go first.”

    The following morning, Renee walked out of the bank with $360,000. After handing the money over to the masked couple, she ran back to her home, terrified about what she may find. “I don’t know if Breea’s gonna be there,” Renee thought. “I don’t know if she’s gonna be alive when I get there.”

    Fortunately, Breea was there when Renee returned to her home. After a bomb squad examined the “dynamite,” they determined that they had been fake- made out of two broomstick handles that were painted and taped together to look like dynamite. Christopher Butler and his fiancée Lisa Ramirez, were later arrested for kidnapping and bank robbery.

    In June, 2002, the suspects were tried together in two trials. Despite Ramirez previously confessing to the crime on camera, the judge ruled it inadmissible in court. The defendant’s lawyer then attacked Renee’s credibility, suggesting she was somehow involved. “They treated me like a criminal,” Renee explained. “They were trying to paint me as somebody that was irresponsible.” After five days of deliberation, the jury found Butler guilty of the robbery and kidnapping, but Ramirez was not, and left a free woman.

    In an interview with Tracy Smith, Renee will be sharing her story on CBS’ “48 Hours,” on February 11th at 10/9c, and streaming on Paramount+.

  • Missing Girl Found In Closet Over A Year Later, Pregnant And Scared

    Missing Girl Found In Closet Over A Year Later, Pregnant And Scared

    The U.S. Marshals Service Missing Child Unit successfully located a critically endangered 14-year-old girl, after she was reported missing 17 months ago, The Detroit Free Press reported.

    In September of 2021, a middle schooler was reported missing in St. Clair County, Michigan. More than a year later, the girl was found inside of a closet in a home in Port Huron, on a tip that she had been sexually trafficked. Initially, the homeowners denied that she was there, but after receiving a search warrant, the missing teen was found.

    “Information was that she may be being trafficked. There was some evidence of sexual abuse,” said Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert Watson. “She’d been missing since September 2021, so I got the case (Tuesday), began working on it immediately, and we recovered her about 5:30 that same day.”

    The teenager told police that she had been in the house for one night, and had previously been “bouncing around” between different locations in Port Huron and Detroit. She was then taken to a nearby hospital, where it was discovered she was pregnant. “She was crying, ”Watson said. “She didn’t know where she was going to go. She was pretty terrified. And she was afraid of losing her baby.”

    Authorities are now pursuing parental kidnapping charges against the girl’s biological mother, who lost custody of her daughter to the teen’s father. After being seen by medical professionals, the girl has been reunited with him.

    After announcing the missing girl was found, Watson became emotional and explained how locating missing children is one of the most rewarding parts of his job. “Sometimes I break down in tears when I find these kids, because it means a lot,” he said. “I’m a parent myself, and I can’t imagine if I were in one of these folks’ shoes, and I didn’t know where my kids were.”

    On Tuesday, February 7th, officers from the Jersey City Police Department welfare check at the house of Luz Hernandez, after she was reported missing when she didn’t arrive for work. While searching for her, police found the teacher and mother of three in a shallow grave, just miles away from her home, Law And Crime reported.

  • Principal And Gym Teacher Fired After Taking Videos Of Themselves Having Sex In School Bathroom

    Principal And Gym Teacher Fired After Taking Videos Of Themselves Having Sex In School Bathroom


    Two Georgia educators have been fired after an investigation confirmed claims of sexual misconduct on school property, Fox News confirmed.

    According to a six-page report released by the Banks County Board of Education, gym teacher Dylan Charles has been in a sexual relationship with the school’s principal, Dr. Dana Simmons for years. The affair, that Dr. Simmons referred to as an “inappropriate friendship,” occurred both on and off campus of Banks County Elementary School.

    Initially, Dr. Simmons denied that any sexual misconduct had occurred on school property, but video footage from Charles’ phone did not corroborate with her claims. Charles’ wife, a third grade teacher at the school, would occasionally arrange and film the sex acts between Simmons and her husband. She told investigators that the now former principal “pressured her to allow her to have sex with her husband” in order to advance their careers.

    A former attendance clerk later came forward, after learning about the incident, and told investigators that Dr. Simmons had approached her about joining a “group of swingers,” but she declined. Another teacher had allegedly left the school district for similar reasons, noting that the principal’s behavior was “unprofessional.”

    “It should have never happened,” said the president of the Georgia Federation of Teachers. “It shows poor judgment, it shows a lack of good character, and it also shows a lack of respect for the taxpayer’s property.”

    All three involved are no longer listed as Banks County employees.

Already out on bond from a stalking and violating a restraining order, Sotka removed his court-ordered GPS ankle monitor before fleeing to Arkansas. Police were still able to track his location through the OnStar system inside his truck.

    After his arrest, Sotka immediately confessed to the killings. He claimed that he walked in on his girlfriend, Cegelski, having sex with another woman, and felt “humiliated.” According to police records, Sotka claims he has no recollection of how the attack occurred, but admits that he is “guilty of killing these girls.”

    Sotka will be extradited to Wisconsin, where he faces charges of first degree intentional homicide, use of a dangerous weapon, domestic abuse, and felony bail jumping. He was scheduled to appear in a hearing last week, but courts have been closed due to severe weather.

    Two Dead And Six Injured After Bus Driver Intentionally Crashes Into Canadian Daycare Center

    Two children have tragically died, and six more have been injured, after a bus driver in Laval, Quebec intentionally crashed into a daycare center this morning, Vice News reported.

    At around 8:30 A.M., Pierre Ny St-Amand plowed his bus into the Garderie Éducative Sainte-Rose. A parent who witnessed the incident claims she saw the 51-year-old enter the parking lot and accelerate to crash into the building’s entrance. “It was clear he wasn’t in his right mind at that moment,” she said.

    After the collision took place, St-Amand undressed himself as he began scream. A neighbor who lived close to the childcare center, along with three other parents, subdued the driver. After attempting to get away, one of the parents had to strike the driver in his head in order to get him under control before officers arrived to make the arrest.

    “He was yelling, he didn’t stop yelling,” a witness explained. “The first thing he did was take off all his clothes after opening the bus door. . . He was just yelling, there were no words coming out of his mouth.”

    Six children were taken to a nearby hospital for their injuries. One is in critical condition, but is expected to survive. Unfortunately, two of the victims have succumbed to their wounds.

    St-Amand has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault, and four counts of assault with a weapon causing bodily harm. Police have not mentioned a potential motive, but say that St-Amand had been working for Laval’s transit system for over 10 years.

    On January 5th, Andrea Thompson, the mother of NBA star Tristan Thompson, tragically passed away from a heart attack in her Toronto home. After taking some time to privately grieve with friends and family, the 31-year-old Sacramento Kings player has finally broken his silence, and shared an emotional tribute of his late mother on his Instagram, apologizing for the “wrong decisions” he’s made in his life.

    “My soul is empty as I come to terms that my biggest supporter/superhero is gone,” he begins. “I cannot thank you enough for always being a woman of faith, being one of God’s warriors, fighting back with whatever the world threw our way.”

    “Mommy, all the sacrifices you did for ur sons will never go unnoticed or without appreciation,” Thompson added. “You were an amazing mommy, role model, best friend & the strongest woman I know. I know you’re here as I write this letter.”

    In the lengthy, public letter, accompanied by family photos, Thompson apologizes for his past wrongs.

    “All I can say is, I’m sorry mommy for the wrong decisions I’ve made in my life,” Thompson continues. “I’m sorry for the embarrassment & pain. You raised me better than what I was able to show you. But I have also learned sorry is not enough. Actions speak louder than worlds. So I won’t just say sorry. Stay tuned to the ways I will show the world what an amazing son you raised. I will show you that even when we fall & make mistakes, we get back up. You are my motivation.”
