    High Speed Chase Ends In The Discovery Of Woman’s Body In Plastic Tote


    On January 18th, at around 10:12 A.M., a Kentucky State Police trooper spotted a vehicle dangerously weaving through traffic on I-75. When officers attempted to pull over the vehicle for driving recklessly, the suspect initially stopped, but then sped off “at a high rate of speed” officials said in a press release.

    According to Law And Crime, the suspect vehicle was chased through three counties as he tried to flee authorities, striking multiple Kentucky State Police vehicles in the process. After troopers performed a “legal intervention maneuver,” the fleeing vehicle was disabled, and they were able to identify the driver as David Maurice Reed and make an arrest. That’s when officers made a horrifying discovery.

    “Further investigation after the stop revealed a deceased female, who has not been positively identified at this time, located inside the vehicle,” the release states. “The cause of death is undetermined at this time, and foul play is suspected.”

    On Thursday, January 19th, the deceased victim found in Reed’s vehicle was identified as 53-year-old Rachel Louise Carder of Huntington, West Virginia. Kentucky State Medical Examiner’s Office in Frankfort, Carder sustained trauma injuries to her face and body along, with at least one injury to have been “caused by an edged weapon.” Which county or state the death occurred in is still being investigated.

    Reed has been charged with domestic violence murder, tampering with physical evidence, abuse of a corpse, and first-degree fleeing or evading police. The 54-year-old is being held at the Laurel County Correctional Center on $2 million cash bond.

    Sha’Carri Richardson Kicked Off American Airlines Flight After Argument With Flight Attendant

    U.S. track and field star Sha’Carri Richardson is thinking about taking legal action against American Airlines following a verbal altercation with a flight attendant that led to her being booted off the flight, per the NY Post

    The 23-year-old, who posted a video of the verbal dispute to her Instagram, claims she was

    “disrespected”

    by a flight attendant named 

    “John.”

    The track star said she was rudely interrupted by John who asked her to get off her phone and put it on airplane mode. 

    “Prior to the video this gentleman asked me to get off a cell phone call, I did,”

    Richardson captioned one of her videos.

    “I stated to him I didn’t like the tone he used with me. Following that while standing in front of me doing the safety protocols he continued to lean over to look at my phone. He asked to see that my phones were in airplane more at this point. He demanded that me show him. Which I did in front of him.”

    Richardson claims the man continued to harass her as she continued to record the entire ordeal. Tensions grew hot as other passengers started to intervene seemingly defending the flight attendant. Richardson is heard in the video saying,

    “Y’all see him right? Y’all see him right? Y’all see him right? I’m sorry, it’s not me… Talk to him. No ma’am. Do not talk to me like that. I’m an adult. Do not talk to me like that. Do not talk to me like that. Tell him to stop. If you do not know what’s going on, do not yell at me.”

    At the end of the video Richardson is seen being escorted off the flight with applause heard in the background.

    “Tell me if I’ll be wrong to pursue legal actions against the airline @americanair not only did the man threaten me but also an innocent bystander who simply just wanted a picture with me. In the beginning of the video you can hear a Caucasian male state that he doesn’t give a f as a man that male flight attendant is intimidating a woman,”

    Richardson posted.

    “Also the captain not doing anything to help the situation and this flight attendant has the applause when I exited the plane when I’m pretty serious the disrespect I received would not have happened if I was a one of them.”

While attempting to take the suspect into custody, another confrontation occurred; however, the suspect was ultimately apprehended,”

    the statement said. It continued:

    “Afterwards, the suspect complained of having a shortness of breath, at which time an ambulance was called to the scene. The suspect was transported to St. Francis Hospital in critical condition.”

    He succumbed to his injuries three days after the arrest. 

    The bureau has launched an investigation into the five officers to detect if they committed any criminal offenses, as well as a separate civil rights investigation that has been launched by the Department of Justice and FBI. The family of Nichols is currently being represented by civil rights attorney Ben Crump.

  • NYPD Officers Allegedly Caught Having Sex In Car Outside Of Precinct After Residents Heard Screaming, Reports Say 

    NYPD Officers Allegedly Caught Having Sex In Car Outside Of Precinct After Residents Heard Screaming, Reports Say 

    It looks like two New York City police officers were allegedly discovered having sex in a vehicle that was parked outside of a precinct in Brooklyn after neighbors heard a woman that was screaming, reports Fox. 

    According to the New York Post, the NYPD off-duty officers were discovered naked in the vehicle after a unidentified caller heard

    “hot and heavy”

    noises and contacted officials. The encounter reportedly happened at 1:30 a.m. in a parking lot where officials park their own vehicles outside of the 79th Precinct. According to a source, the reports say that the worried caller heard

    “a woman screaming in a parking lot.”

    However, the caller didn’t know

    “which color vehicle”

    the cries came from. Two officials left the precinct to see what the issue was and they discovered a female and male officer in the car. 

    The male and female officers were reportedly partners as the two allegedly had an ongoing affair that the precinct learned about after the male cop’s wife learned about it and caused chaos at the precinct this past summer. 

    An unidentified source informed The Post,

    “She showed up to the precinct to confront the girlfriend. Shortly after in the rear of the precinct, with bosses and cops present, the two cops got into a huge altercation because of the wife. Nothing was done.. Then someone had the bright idea to have them partnered up, riding in the same sector.”

    It’s unclear if the male and female cop were disciplined as they have previously denied engaging in intimacy. The Post was told by the source that officers who found the partners in the vehicle failed to turn their body cameras on or report their discovery, which is a requirement under the department’s protocols.

    Man Survives At Sea After Being Stranded For Nearly A Month By Eating Ketchup and Garlic Powder

    A Dominica man, Elvis Francois, 47, who was lost at sea for nearly a month has luckily survived by eating garlic powder, ketchup, and Maggi seasoning cubes, officials say, according to the New York Post. Francois was saved from his sailboat this week. Reports added that the man was also able to drink water from the rain that he retrieve with a cloth during his 24 days at sea.

    “off the island of St. Martin in the Netherlands Antilles,”

    according to The Post.

    The 47-year-old said,

    “I called my friends, they tried to contact me, but I lost the signal. There was nothing else to do but sit and wait.”

    Luckily, a plane flying by noticed him after Francois utilized a mirror as a sign as well as wrote

    “help”

    on the

    “boat’s hull.”

    A container ship that was passing by picked up Francois. However, before he was saved, the 47-year-old revealed that he had to continuously

    “bail water out of the boat so it wouldn’t sink,”

    reports The Post. His other efforts of seeking help consisted of setting a fire to send out a signal; however, that didn’t work. 

    “At some point I lost hope and thought about my family, but I thank the coast guard. If it weren’t for them I wouldn’t be telling the story,”

    said the man. 

    Thankfully, Francois is in good health following the rescue, according to Commander Carlos Urbano Montes. Francois was later given to immigration so that he could return to the island of St. Martin. He was rescued

    “120 nautical miles northwest of the port city of Cartagena,”

    reports The Post.
