    Infant With Umbilical Cord Still Attacked Was Discovered After Being Abandoned In Texas Heat Wave For Nearly 20 Hours

    Thankfully, an infant, who still had an umbilical cord attached, was saved after being abandoned and left outside in a heat wave for several hours, Texas authorities say, according to the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram. An unnamed woman and man were seen on surveillance footage putting a basket outside a church in San Antonio on July 17 close to 1 a.m., reports Crime Stoppers. The pair then went on to flee the scene on foot.

    Later in the day, a biker recognized the basket and went on to observe it, says a San Antonio Police Department press release on Aug 2. During his observation, the unnamed cyclist saw a leg sticking out from underneath a jacket, and once he pulled the jacket, he noticed an infant. The child was seemingly calm and officials say an umbilical cord was still present and connected to the baby. 

    Crime Stoppers reports that the child was covered and inside of the basket for nearly 20 hours, and the report added,

    “The temperature high for the day was 110° Fahrenheit.”

    Officials arrived at the scene and discovered a note. The incident is under investigation and authorities are seeking the people who left the basket.

    18-Year-Old Escapes Kidnappers Home After Being Chained To Bed and Raped For Weeks

    A Texas couple is behind bars after they allegedly abducted an 18-year-old woman, kept her chained to a bed inside their home, and raped her for weeks, authorities said per The Post. 

    Jose Reyes, 31, and Jaqueline Macias, 29, were arrested Sunday night after the teen managed to flee their Houston home by climbing out of a window. The victim went knocking on neighbors’ doors who alerted police. 

    The victim told officers that she had met the male suspect at an unspecified location almost a month ago and he’d convinced her to come to his house, Harris County Constable Mark Herman told the outlet.

    “The whole script flipped almost immediately, and she was immediately held captive, tied up, and held in a room for approximately 30 days,”

    Herman told a press conference.

    “At some point after they basically started holding her against her will, they began sexually assaulting her and other things. Just a very, very evil thing.”

    The young woman was found with marks on her hands and legs, according to Herman. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Her current condition has not been disclosed.

    Reyes and Macias both face kidnapping charges, but authorities say additional charges are possible pending further investigation. Macias is being held on a $50,000 bond while Reyes was held on a $100,000 bond, reports note. 

    Investigators are probing into the nature of the relationship between the victim and her attackers and whether a missing report was filed for the teen.

  • Teen Rescued From Alleged Abductor After Holding Up ‘Help Me’ Sign In Parked Car

    Teen Rescued From Alleged Abductor After Holding Up ‘Help Me’ Sign In Parked Car

    An abducted Texas teen was saved in southern California after an onlooker witnessed her holding a sign that said

    “Help me”

    in a parked vehicle. The rescue occurred earlier in the month, reports the New York Post. 

    The unnamed 13-year-old girl appeared to be

    “visibly emotional and distressed”

    after authorities arrived at the Long Beach location where the bystander found her. Officials found out that a stranger discovered the girl holding a

    “Help me”

    sign with red letters as she sat in a parked car. Thankfully, the stranger recognized the teen, acknowledged her, and then contacted officials.

    According to NBC Los Angeles, 61-year-old Steven Robert Sablan was apprehended. Reports say Sablan was in the laundromat when the teen was discovered by the bystander. Officials learned that the 61-year-old approached the teen as she stood at a San Antonio bus stop and forced her to enter his car at knifepoint. 

    Court documents noted by the U.S Attorney’s Office, Central District of California say that he told the girl,

    “‘If you don’t get in the car with me, I am going to hurt you.’”

    A statement said that during the drive, the girl told him that she had a pal in Australia, and he then promised to place her on a cruise ship to visit her friend; however, she

    “had to do something for him first.”

    He then drove to California from Texas over a three-day span and raped her on several occasions. 

    The man was later indicted on Thursday by a federal grand jury on

    “one count of kidnapping and one count of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity,”

    reports The Post. 

    The teen was documented as a runaway; however, she’s currently with the Department of Child and Family Services.

  • Woman Charged With Murder After Shooting Uber Driver Because She Thought He Was Trying To Abduct Her

    Woman Charged With Murder After Shooting Uber Driver Because She Thought He Was Trying To Abduct Her

    A woman has been charged with murder after shooting her Uber driver last week because she thought he was attempting to kidnap her, PEOPLE reports. 

    Texas investigators revealed that 52-year-old Phoebe Copas wasn’t in danger adding that the 53-year-old driver, Daniel Piedra Garcia, wasn’t

    “veering from Copas’ destination.”

    According to El Paso officials, Copas is being held behind bars on a $1.5 million bond. A relative of the driver revealed that he was sadly taken off life support. 

    In a GoFundMe post, Garcias’ wife revealed that he was

    “the sole provider for our family”

    adding that he

    “was very happy to finally be able to work and bring home income.”

    The wife continued to write that he was happy to bring in income as a Uber driver after he hurt his knee at another job, which caused him to get surgery back in April. 

    Copas’ of Kentucky was visiting her boyfriend in Texas when she contacted Uber to take her to see her unnamed beau at a casino after he got off of work, reports KFOX14. Officials say Copas reportedly grew anxious when she allegedly noticed road signs for

    “Juarez, Mexico.”

    Officials added,

    “At some point during the drive, Copas thought she was being taken into Mexico and shot Piedra.” 

    Officials informed KIVA that the woman pulled out a firearm and shot the Uber driver in the back of his head and wrist, which resulted in the car crashing. Before Copas contacted officials, she took a picture of the encounter and forwarded the image to her boyfriend. 

    “The investigation does not support that a kidnapping took place or that Piedra was veering from Copas’ destination,”

    authorities said. 

    It’s unclear if the woman entered a plea deal or if she has an attorney to speak on her behalf.

  • Man Sentenced To Life Behind Bars After Fatally Beating His 10-Week-Old Son, Reports Say

    Man Sentenced To Life Behind Bars After Fatally Beating His 10-Week-Old Son, Reports Say

    A man from Texas, Joseph Matthew Welborn, has been sentenced to a life term behind bars in connection to the fatal beating of his son, who was only 10 weeks old. The Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office informed Fox that the 31-year-old pleaded guilty to injury to a child causing serious bodily injury. Fox 4 reported that he initially faced a capital murder charge. 

    The child’s mother and grandfather discovered the 10-week-old boy, Christian,

    “unresponsive, pale, and unconscious”

    as the boy reportedly suffered from

    “blunt force trauma to his head,”

    reports Fox. The discovery was made when the child’s mother and grandfather returned home from shopping. Reports added that they left the infant home with Welborn back on Dec. 21, 2018. 

    Christian was later transported to the hospital where he was declared deceased. An autopsy revealed that he had two skull fractures. When the father was questioned by officials, he told cops multiple clashing stories, which included blaming his son, alleging that his 4-year-old son dropped the infant. A medical examiner verified that Christian’s wounds weren’t due to a fall and confirmed that the infant was struck up to three times, reports the Morning News. 

    “The last thing that Christian saw was his dad grabbing him and violently slamming his head… This is about giving Christian a voice. It was stolen by his own flesh and blood, his father. This sweet, innocent little baby deserved better,”

    Katie Owens told the jury.
