  • Texas Kidnapper Used Fake Name While Dating Victim Was Discovered To Be Married

    Texas Kidnapper Used Fake Name While Dating Victim Was Discovered To Be Married

    On January 11th, the friends of Kayla Kelley contacted police in McKinney, Texas after she was not seen or heard from by relatives and coworkers for several days. The next day, her car was found on a deserted country road. Police say the vehicle “had been burned beyond recognition and the incident was not consistent with a natural fire.”

    When deputies looked for Kelley at her apartment, they discovered her dog. “The dog was without food and water and had to relieve itself on the floor,” authorities wrote. “It appeared the dog had been in that condition for a few days. Family and relatives advised the dog was like Kelley’s child and she would never leave it unattended for an extended period of time.”

    While interviewing the friends and family members of Kelley, it was discovered that she had a boyfriend named “Kevin,” who she initially met online. According to Law And Crime, Kelley had recently learned that he had been married to another woman the entirety of their relationship and she intended to confront him about it.

    When police searched Kelley’s phone records, they discovered that the man she knew as “Kevin” was actually Ocastor Shavon Ferguson. Cell phone records of the 32-year-old showed that he had been in the area of Kelley’s apartment and the area that her car was found, and then traveled back to his home in Grand Prairie on January 10th. He has since then refused to cooperate with police and disclose Kelley’s location and her condition.

    On Saturday, January 14th, Ferguson was arrested on kidnapping and arson charges. Authorities believe more charges are soon to follow as the investigation continues. He is currently being held at Collin County Sheriff’s Office on a $1 million bond.

  • Texas Judge Sets $1 Bond For Repeat Offender Accused Of Kidnapping And Beating Woman

    Texas Judge Sets $1 Bond For Repeat Offender Accused Of Kidnapping And Beating Woman

    In September of 2021, Texas Governor Gregg Abbott signed Senate Bill 6, a bill banning the release of people accused of violent crimes on personal bonds. Instead, the accused will be able to post the amount of cash set by the court, or pay a percentage to a bail bonds company, The Texas Tribune explains.

    “SB 6 is built on right-wing hysteria that violates Texans’ rights, not on public safety,” Laquita Garcia with the Texas Organizing Project said in a statement. “If implemented, this bill will lead to more overcrowding in jails and further criminalize poverty in our state, meaning more Texans- a disproportionate amount being Black and Latino, will stay stuck in jail solely because they cannot afford bail.”

    Last Friday, 43-year-old Aubrey Taylor appeared at a bond hearing for assault and kidnapping charges. He’s accused of holding his victim in his car for several days and repeatedly choking her and beating her, Fox 26 Houston reported. Despite him being a violent offender, he was given a mere $1 cash bond.

    “You’ve got eight prior felony convictions, two of them for robbery,” said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers. “He’s charged with two serious violent offenses. If I’m outraged, I can’t imagine what the victim in this case must be going through considering all she did.”

    Judge Josh Hill, who gave the bond, says he was making his feelings known for the Senate Bill 6. Despite his seemingly good intentions, he’s now put the life of Taylor’s victim in danger in the process of his protesting.

    “Someone has accused you, you’re in jail, you’re angry, who’s the person you’re thinking about,” questions criminal defense attorney Emily Detoto. “Who are you fuming over and who’s the first person you want to go be angry with? It’s the person who put you there, right? That needs to be rethought.”

    A man and woman from Texas, Francisco Martinez Jr, and Stephanie Navarro, have been apprehended on multiple charges following an alleged Snapchat scam that ended in a victim being robbed and attacked, reports Complex. 

    According to KXAN-TV, Navarro used Snapchat to lure an unidentified victim to her house after they spoke for a couple of weeks on the social media app. When the victim arrived to Navarro’s residence, he witnessed a suspicious man standing outside prompting him to leave. The victim then contacted the woman multiple times and proceeded to enter the home, officials say. The woman then took him into her bedroom while she alerted him that she was going to check on her children. While Navarro walked out, the victim witnessed four to five men jump out of the closet and begin to attack him placing him in a

    “chokehold,”

    reports the news outlet. 

    The victim was stabbed in his left shin during the assault and the suspects went on to steal his iPhone, Gucci wallet containing his credit, debit cards, and IDs. The suspects also demanded funds from the victim, officials say. Luckily, the unnamed victim managed to flee and drive to a friend’s house before going to a hospital. The victim described the suspect to officials. 

    During a traffic stop on Dec. 23, an official identified the driver as Martinez and the passenger as Navarro. Officials noted that their two children were in the car also revealing that a strong odor of marijuana reeked through the vehicle. The official searched the vehicle and discovered the victims credit cards. The pair was taken into custody and the woman confessed to luring the victim in to rob him. Navarro confessed that Martinez constructed the plan. 

    An affidavit states,

    “[The victim] and Navarro had agreed to have sex for money. The agreement was made via Snapchat.”

  • Texas Man Accused Of Kidnapping, Assaulting, And Starving Woman He Met On Dating App

    Texas Man Accused Of Kidnapping, Assaulting, And Starving Woman He Met On Dating App

    A Spring, Texas man is now facing charges after allegedly kidnapping, torturing, and sexually assaulting a woman he met on a dating app, as reported by ABC 13.

    On December 29th, police responded to a report of a woman who was severely abused by a man. When officials arrived, they discovered a woman with severe bruising to the majority of her body, bite marks, and cuts to both her throat and nose. The victim then told Harris County deputies that she had initially met Zachary Mills on Bumble, and agreed to meet with him in person at his apartment on December 24th. When she refused to have sex with him, the 21-year-old began punching, slapping, and biting her before forcing himself on her. For the next five days, he held her captive, denying her both food and water. When Mills finally left his apartment to visit his father, the victim was able to escape and search for help.

    On Friday, December 30th, Mills was located and arrested. He has since then been released from jail on a $50,000 bond and has been placed on house arrest. He is scheduled to reappear in court in March. Though the suspect currently has only been charged with a first-degree felony of aggravated kidnapping, more charges are to be expected.

    According to a Bumble representative, Mill has been banned from the dating app indefinitely. The company continues to remind its users to use safe practices when meeting a stranger: meeting in a public place, telling someone you trust where you’re going, and researching the person you’re meeting as much as possible.
