Police release sketches of man whose remains were found inside an Arlington home​

A little more than two years ago, human remains were found in the basement of an empty home for sale in Arlington, Virginia. Police don't know who they belong to, but now they're hoping for a break in the case. Investigators used the remains to make sketches of the man they hope you will recognize.

I watched "The Burning Bed" The night it premiered. I was young. I have watched it since. It is very good. All the awareness since then, resources, this should not be happening.

Family says missing teen found dismembered and set on fire in Barbour County​

The family of 18-year-old Markavious Rumph says their desperate search for the missing teen ended in horror when his parents found his body in a wooded area in Barbour County.

His family says Markavious was last seen May 7 after leaving with a friend. When he did not return to his grandmother’s home in Eufaula, they reported him missing and began searching on their own after hearing troubling information from the community.


The family says Markavious had been shot, dismembered, and set on fire. Investigators have not released an official cause of death.

“I looked for five days for my son, with no help from the Eufaula Police Department,” his mother, Yolanda Wynn, said through tears. “Me and my family in the rain on Mother’s Day, I walked through those woods.”

Now, she wants justice.

“But they gotta pay. I want everybody that’s involved to pay for my son. Everybody.”

Markavious’s father, Marcus Rumph, says the pain is impossible to put into words.

“They basically burned my baby, shot my baby, burned him up and chopped him up,” Rumph said. “I’m dealing with it the best I can right now.”


The family says they believe people known to Markavious may be responsible, but WRBL is not naming anyone because police have not publicly identified suspects or persons of interest.
 

28-Year-Old Allegedly Posed as Teen Girl to Attend Bronx High School​

A 28-year-old woman accused of posing as a teenager and secretly enrolling at a Bronx, New York, high school was exposed after the school’s principal pulled up her Facebook page. That Facebook revealed her real age, birthday and even photos referencing a daughter.

According to a criminal complaint, Kacy Claassen enrolled at Westchester Square Academy on April 13 under the fake name “Shamara Rashad” and allegedly claimed she was born in 2010, making her 16 years old.

Officials say Claassen told school officials she had recently moved to New York City from Ohio with her sister and was issued a student ID before attending classes for roughly two weeks before her alleged cover was blown.

Claassen reportedly admitted her real identity after being confronted. Prosecutors say she told investigators a friend encouraged her to lie so she could potentially obtain additional public assistance benefits. It’s not exactly clear how the alleged benefits scheme would have worked. However, officials have now warned about various forms of “ghost student” fraud in recent years, in which individuals allegedly use fake or stolen identities to improperly obtain financial aid, benefits or services through education.
