ONGOING CRIME BREAKING NEWS! Starting in January 2020, this thread is about the news as it breaks! Bernard Madoff says he is dying and is asking a judge for compassionate release from prison, where he is serving 150 years for orchestrating the largest Ponzi scheme in history, according to a Wednesday federal court filing. Madoff, 81, has terminal kidney failure and a life expectancy of less than 18 months. When the court sentenced him, “it was clear that Madoff’s 150-year prison sentence was symbolic for three reasons: retribution, deterrence, and for the victims,” the court filing states. “This Court must now consider whether keeping Madoff incarcerated … is truly in furtherance of statutory sentencing goals and our society’s...

To start. I have always found Serial Killers fascinating. What makes them do what they do?. I know I am not the only one. This is the place to talk about it. I'll start. Who do you find the most fascinating and why?.

The woman, 26-year-old Breonna Taylor, was a certified EMT working at two local hospitals. Defense attorney Rob Eggert said police burst in Taylor's home without announcing their presence and fired at least 22 times, with bullets going into neighboring apartments, and “it was incredible that Mrs. Taylor was the only one killed.” “Had Breonna Taylor...

Seen a couple of brief things on this one. I'd lean to the bf mostly because his statements and behavior aren't adding up BUT it's hard to say. She apparently was in custody battles with three of her kids' dads. Maybe it bothered one of them when she announced she was in a relationship with this new guy. Hard to say. It may deserve a thread, not that it merits it any more than any other but there is news on it at the moment pretty regularly and it is definitely a whodunit at this point.

I am not sure if this forum has been made aware of YouTubers like wheres981 and SqueezeBenz. They are youtubers who use stolen high dollar vehicles, and "swim" through traffic, often exceeding 100 and reaching 150 on public roads. These types of YouTubers are rampant, and there seems to be a growing supply of these YouTubers. Recently, SqueezeBenz was arrested in connection with ATM burglaries, and possession of stolen vehicles, but still remains released on bond, and continues to release videos. They take "drive it like you stole it" quite literally. Unfortunately, there seems to be not much that law enforcement can do at the moment to crack down on this widespread problem. There is a local individual who is taking inspiration from...

No offense to those that live there but WTH is going on in Missouri? This makes me think of the other one, the Rainwater case. Both hint of women held hostage and tortured and of multiple victims. There has been talk since Rainwater of a lot of missing teens/women there, etc. This poor woman was terrified and clearly held. Just the details out are horrible and the hints are there of far worse details of what she suffered. She also talks of her "friends" not making it... https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/missouri/articles/2022-10-09/police-investigate-kidnapping-and-rape-in-missouri-town

“As I moved closer, I could hear somebody making noise and yelling. I started to get close to the building and climbed into the debris, and I could hear him saying that he was over there, and I could see his arm sticking up through the debris and waving his hand,” Nicholas Balboa, a man from Phoenix, told CNBC’s “The News with Shepard Smith” on Thursday night. “He was just saying, ‘Please don’t leave me, please don’t leave me.’ I told him that we weren’t going to leave him,” Balboa said. “It was myself and one other person. So, we were there and we just felt like we could get to him. It didn’t feel right to just leave him, especially hearing that his voice was just so young.” Balboa was in Surfside, Florida, to visit his father when...

In a surprising turn of events, Golden State Killer suspect Joseph DeAngelo has offered to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence. DeAngelo, who is suspected of killing at least 13 people, has been incarcerated in the Sacramento County Main Jail since his arrest in April 2018. According to DeAngelo's defense team, he would be willing to plead guilty if the death penalty was taken off the table. "Mr. DeAngelo is 74 years old," his defense wrote in a motion filed this week. "He has offered to plead to the charges with a lifetime sentence." No other details about the conditions of such a deal were made public. https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/joseph-deangelo-earons-trial-update-plea-15104748.php

WATCH THIS. EVIL PIECE OF SH*T. This is recent. It is short. Doesn't matter whose show it is but I haven't seen it elsewhere, just came across it. I think we need to look into this one and have a thread. THIS "father" killed his 3 sons in FRONT of the mother/his wife and his stepdaughter. Mom tried to do something and he I think shot her in the hand. Stepdaughter ran down the street screaming. In short order at the beginning of this, they show the police taking him down and into custody. A TWENTY million dollar bond was asked for by the prosecution. When have we ever heard of one where the perp leaves the mom alone AND a stepchild but kills his own three boys in front of those two????? I haven't come across anything else...
