  • 18-Year-old Arrested and Charged After Reportedly Helping 17-Year-Old Girlfriend Commit Suicide

    18-Year-old Arrested and Charged After Reportedly Helping 17-Year-Old Girlfriend Commit Suicide

    An 18-year-old man, Zander Tashman, was apprehended by Texas officials after reportedly assisting his 17-year-old girlfriend, Ellyse Suarez, in her suicide in Nov. 2023. He faces charges of aiding suicide and is detained on a $10,000 bond, per Fox News

    On Nov. 20, 2023, Frisco Police Department officers went to 8000 McKinney Road following reports of a deceased individual at a Frisco Commons Park pond, as stated in a press release.

    Officials said,

    “After an exhaustive investigation, evidence collected in the case indicated that 18-year-old Zander Tashman of Frisco aided the deceased, his 17-year-old girlfriend, in committing suicide….. Tashman was taken into custody on February 18, 2024.”

    Suarez and Tashman began dating when she was just a sophomore in high school. At the time of her death, Suarez was a senior, as stated by her mother, who was identified as Azucena, per WFAA.

    In a statement to Fox News Digital, Reynie Tinajero, the attorney for Tashman, expressed that the 18-year-old defendant and his family deeply regret the tragic event that occurred.

    His attorney revealed,

    “I’m sorry authorities made a poor and probably emotional choice to blame Zander and to do so in a public way. We’ll be making our case in a court of law. Zander is an exemplary college student with no prior history of criminal behavior. Zander is innocent.” 

    Azucena shared with WFAA that her daughter confided in her about feeling

    “depressed”

    six weeks before her passing. Despite seeking counseling and therapy, Suarez expressed that she didn’t see significant improvement.

    Despite it all, She wishes that sharing her daughter’s experience and mental health raise awareness among parents.

  • Woman Says She Recently Discovered She Dated Her Half Brother In High School After Learning Her Dad Was Her Mom’s Fertility Doctor Who Wrongfully Inseminated Her With His Semen

    Woman Says She Recently Discovered She Dated Her Half Brother In High School After Learning Her Dad Was Her Mom’s Fertility Doctor Who Wrongfully Inseminated Her With His Semen

    Victoria Hill, 39, was shocked after discovering she unknowingly dated her half-brother in high school. Her mother was

    “wrongfully artificially inseminated”

    by Dr. Burton Caldwell, a fertility doctor, allegedly without permission, per CNN. Hill later learned the truth about her biological father after years of secrecy.

    Hill bravely shared her story with close friends, including her former partner who unknowingly was her half-brother. The man, whose mother was also treated by Caldwell, took a DNA test to confirm the shocking truth.

    He wrote to the 39-year-old,

    “You are my sister.” 

    The doctor, Caldwell, is believed to have fathered at least 22 children, including Hill, who were unaware of their true lineage. This information was revealed by the network.

    The woman informed CNN,

    “I was traumatized by this.” 

    “Now I’m looking at pictures of people thinking, well, if he could be my sibling, anybody could be my sibling,”

    she added. 

    Jody Madeira, an Indiana University law professor and fertility fraud expert told CNN,

    “This was the first time where we’ve had a confirmed case of someone actually dating, someone being intimate with someone who was their half-sibling.” 

    There are limited laws in the US regarding fertility fraud. Janine Pierson, another child of Caldwell, faces challenges in taking legal action against him due to this legal gap, as reported by CNN.

    “It shouldn’t just be, you know, the Wild West where these doctors can just do whatever it is that they want,”

    said Pierson. 

    Pierson was shocked to discover in 2022 that she has many siblings from Caldwell. She also shared disturbing behavior she allegedly experienced from him.

    “He was not in any way apologetic,”

    Pierson revealed.

  • Homeless Man Arrested After Holding Atlanta Crew Hostage, Threatened To Shoot Them If They Didn’t Buy Food

    Homeless Man Arrested After Holding Atlanta Crew Hostage, Threatened To Shoot Them If They Didn’t Buy Food

    A man in Georgia, Brandon Logan, who is reportedly homeless, has been accused of making terroristic threats after reportedly holding two journalists from a television station captive for 90 minutes. He allegedly threatened to shoot them if they contacted the police or refused to get him food, per the New York Post.

    Asia Wilson and Lauren Swaim, reporters from Atlanta News First, encountered a drunk man who claimed to have a handgun and cornered them in a sheriff’s office parking lot in Jonesboro late Monday, just moments before their live broadcast. Their outraged employer expressed that it reportedly took over 90 minutes for officials to respond and apprehend the suspect.

    Reports added that a firearm wasn’t recovered after he was apprehended. Although the journalists were being terrorized, Wilson was able to text her employer secretly.

    The station reported that after unsuccessful attempts to reach the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office, they called 911 for assistance.

    Gary Stilwell, the assignment editor, received a call from a police officer who assured him that the crew was safe, who was male and female. However, Stilwell informed the officer that there should not be a man present and requested them to return if they didn’t find two females. Concerned about the situation, three ANF colleagues hurried to the location and stopped a police car during their 20-minute drive.

    After a while, the officer discovered that the suspect was still with the journalists. However, it took about 90 minutes for backup to arrive, which is being investigated by the news station. Still, ANF has no answers from officials.

    Reports added that the homeless man is facing multiple charges including

    “terroristic threats.”

  • Mother Furious After 11-Year-Old Son Was Threatened At Gunpoint and Forced To Fight Teenagers

    Mother Furious After 11-Year-Old Son Was Threatened At Gunpoint and Forced To Fight Teenagers

    A furious Alief mother is speaking up after she claims  her 11-year-old son was threatened with a gun and forced into fights by teenagers. The incident occurred last week at an apartment complex in Alief. The mother is determined to seek justice for her son’s ordeal, per Fox 26.

    The mother, Lucille Longoria, pleaded,

    “They could have killed him, and before the video even started, they put the gun up to my son’s head.” 

    A group of teenagers approached Lucille Longoria’s 11-year-old son while he was headed home from Budewig Intermediate School last Tuesday, leading to an unfortunate incident.

    His mother continued,

    “He was attacked, literally attacked, violently attacked.” 

    The mother added that the teens showcased a firearm forcing the 11-year-old to fight. 

    “He was attacked by two random guys, who he don’t know these boys, at all. He doesn’t know them at all,”

    said the furious mother. 

    Longoria went on to say,

    “[He] took a hard jab at my son, then he busted his nose… They stomped on him.”

    “Alief ISD was made aware of a video circulating of a group of young people fighting last Friday. The parent of one of the students involved contacted a campus administrator to inform them of the video’s existence. This incident did not transpire on school grounds. We worked with local authorities to identify the students in the video and were able to confirm that there were some that were current students in our district. We do not condone bullying of any kind, and we encourage our students to make better choices,”

    said Alief ISD. 

    His mother pleaded, saying,

    “What those other individuals did to my son is not okay. They need to be held responsible. We need to get them off the streets.”

  • Woman Arrested For Allegedly Fatally Poisoning Her Boyfriend With Antifreeze After Learning He Was Going To Inherit $30 Million 

    Woman Arrested For Allegedly Fatally Poisoning Her Boyfriend With Antifreeze After Learning He Was Going To Inherit $30 Million 

    A woman in North Dakota, Ina Thea Kenoyer, has been accused of killing her boyfriend by allegedly poisoning him with antifreeze. Officials arrived to their home on Sept. 4 and sadly died the following day. Kenoyer was charged with murder on October 30, reports The New York Times. The victim, Steven Edward Riley Jr., had recently discovered that he was set to inherit a large sum of money, around $30 million. It is believed that Kenoyer poisoned him after learning about his inheritance and his plans to leave her.

    When authorities arrived at their home in Minot, they found Riley in need of medical attention. He was taken to a nearby hospital but sadly passed away the following day. Kenoyer initially claimed that he had suffered from a heat stroke, but the autopsy results revealed that he died from ethylene glycol poisoning, the key component in antifreeze. Friends and family of Riley mentioned that Kenoyer had made comments about poisoning him with antifreeze in the past. Some of Kenoyer’s friends also witnessed her removing Riley’s belongings from their home on the day he was poisoned.

    During the investigation, Kenoyer expressed her belief that she was Riley’s “common law” wife and permitted to a share of the inheritance, which she planned to split with Riley’s son. However, North Dakota does not recognize

    “common law”

    marriages. 

    Authorities discovered bottles suspected to contain antifreeze, including a Windex window cleaner bottle, a Coors Light beer bottle, as well as a plastic mug, at their home. Kenoyer suggested that Riley’s symptoms may have been mistaken for heat stroke or that he might’ve accidentally consumed antifreeze while smoking a cigarette.

  • Officials Seeking Woman Who Shot Five People After Being Denied Entry Into Bar

    Officials Seeking Woman Who Shot Five People After Being Denied Entry Into Bar

    A woman shot five people outside a well-known Denver bar because she couldn’t get in. The bar is called Whiskey Row and it’s in downtown Denver, reports the New York Post. The police are still looking for the person who did it. They think the woman might have been trying to shoot the security guards who stopped her from going inside because they believed she was using someone else’s ID. Instead, she ended up shooting five innocent people who were outside the bar. Luckily, all five of them are expected to survive. 

    A security who worked at a bar across the street heard the gunshots and quickly got everyone inside to keep them safe. He locked the doors and made sure everyone was okay. A woman who was waiting in line to go into the bar said that people started screaming and running when they heard the gunshots. She was grateful that she and her friends weren’t hurt; however, individuals behind her group and in front of them were struck. She said it was a  scary experience for everyone. 

    “I’m extremely grateful to be here. And to be OK, and that all of my friends are also OK. But it’s a traumatic experience to go through, especially for the five victims that were hit,”

    Madison Sharnowski said.  

    She went on to say that most of the people who got shot were hit in their legs. Sharnowski stayed with a young woman who was struck in the ankle until help arrived.

    The police released a picture of the woman they believe is responsible and are offering a $2,000 reward for any information that leads to her arrest.

  • Grandfather Arrested After Confessing To The Fatal Shooting Of His 16-Year-Old Grandson

    Grandfather Arrested After Confessing To The Fatal Shooting Of His 16-Year-Old Grandson

    A grandfather from Missouri has allegedly admitted to shooting and killing his 16-year-old grandson, reports FOX. Thomas Ribby, 70, reportedly shot Royce Hayes Osburn in a home in Clinton, Missouri. The police were told by Ribby that he didn’t realize the gun was loaded, but the family is perplexed as to why he aimed it at his grandson in the first place. There had been previous conflicts between Ribby and Osburn, but the family and witnesses never expected it would end in tragedy.

    According to charging documents, Ribby had given Osburn a gun to toy with earlier that evening. A bystander claimed that they saw Osburn playing with the firearm and pretending to

    “clear rooms.”

    After the alleged shooting, Osburn went to his mother, Melissa Ribby, clutching his chest and said,

    “papa shot me.”

    Melissa Ribby tearfully shared,

    “My baby died in my arms.”

    Thomas Ribby locked himself in his apartment when officials arrived. Melissa Ribby expressed her anger and pain, stating,

    “I don’t even want to see him. He’s not my dad. He’s not my dad at all.”

    She believes her child deserved better and that if Ribby wanted to kill someone, he should have done it to himself.

    Osburn’s family revealed that it was the 16-year-old’s dream to become a police officer one day. Ribby is currently being held at the Henry County Detention Center on a $100,000 cash-only bond. He is facing charges of first-degree murder, endangering the welfare of a child, and resisting arrest.

  • Woman Sentenced To 30 Days For Waterboarding Her Baby and Putting Him In Freezer To Test If His Father ‘Gave A F-ck’

    Woman Sentenced To 30 Days For Waterboarding Her Baby and Putting Him In Freezer To Test If His Father ‘Gave A F-ck’

    A woman from Gresham, Oregon, aged 30, has been sentenced for criminal mistreatment after she subjected her baby to waterboarding and placed him in a freezer as a test to see if the baby’s father cared, according to PEOPLE. Sharday McDonald received a 30-day jail sentence and three years of probation for her convictions of criminal mistreatment, tampering with a witness, and identity theft.

    In Oct. 2021, the Gresham Police responded to a report about a mother putting her baby in a freezer at an apartment located at 174th and Burnside. Upon their arrival, officers heard the woman yelling through the door, expressing her indifference towards the baby. McDonald, later identified as the woman, opened the door while holding the baby wrapped in a blanket.

    The baby’s father arrived at the scene and presented a video call he had with McDonald. In the call, she was seen holding the baby by his onesie and waterboarding him. The officer noted in the reports that the baby appeared to be struggling to hold his breath as water poured onto his face and into his nose.

    After her arrest, McDonald expressed remorse, stating that she did it to test the father’s concern for the baby. She believed that subjecting her baby to running water would prompt the father to return. McDonald clarified that she did not intend to harm or kill her son through drowning or freezing, but rather carried out the waterboarding as an act of spite.

    She said, she wanted to see if the father

    “gave a f–ck at all.” 

    According to court documents, a pediatrician reviewed the incident and confirmed that the child would have been unable to breathe properly while water was being poured into his nose. This action could have resulted in severe and life-threatening complications.

    The current condition of the baby and whether he has been reunited with his father remain unclear based on the available court records.
