June 29, 2018 By Jesse Skelton Leave a Comment

Marriage

Connie told the “Dateline” host that Lamon, the Arizona serial killer, shot all people involved in their divorce.

COUNCIL CHRONICLE – Connie Jones, the former wife of Dwight Lamon Jones, whom authorities believe to be the man responsible for six deadly Arizona shootings, speaks up for the first time after receiving news of Jones’ death.  In a soon-to-air TV interview, Jones called Dwight Lamon, the Arizona serial killer “her personal terrorist.”

Arizona Serial Killer Targeted People Connected to Divorce, Ex-Detective Declared

During Friday’s episode of “Dateline,” Connie Jones, the former wife of Dwight Lamon, will talk about her 20-year-long marriage to the Arizona serial killer and how she ended up hiring an army of bodyguards to protect her family.

According to Jones’ claims, her mishaps began shortly after she won the divorce. In 2010, shortly after convincing the magistrates to grant her full custody of their child, Mrs. Jones began receiving a menacing message from Dwight Lamon.

In one of the message, the Arizona serial killer wrote that he’s going to strike when Jones’ defenses were down. Several days after receiving Lamon’s messages, Jones heard on the new about the string of murders that took the entire state by surprise.

Shortly after that, Connie hired Rick Anglin, a retired homicide detective, and the man that would be her husband.

While investigating Anglin, the retired lawman turned bodyguard told the authorities that all the victims were connected to Jones’ divorce.

As a result, the authorities established that Dr. Steven Pitt, a renowned forensic physiatrist, testified against Lamon in court. All the other victims, including Marshall Levin, Laura Anderson, Valeria Sharp, Bryon and Mary Simmons were involved with what had happened in court in 2010.

Conclusion

During her interview, Mrs. Jones recalled that after the shooting, her life changed. She was compelled to learn how to use a weapon and had to hire an entire armed escort just to go shopping or to take her son to school.

June 28, 2018 By Adam Martin Leave a Comment

child abuse

Indiana couple tied rope around children’s necks and feet to punish them.

COUNCIL CHRONICLE – On the 29th of June, authorities arrested an Indiana couple who, allegedly, use a cruel punishment device to ‘discipline’ their children. The torture device has been discovered by a sheriff’s deputy during a welfare check.

Indiana Couple Said They Wanted to Teach Kids About What Prison Feels Like

On Tuesday, Ashley Stigers and Shannon Breaux, an Indiana couple, appeared before the magistrates to answer for the charges stemming from their June arrest. According to court documents, Breaux and Stigers repeatedly and cruelly subjected their children to extreme torture in an attempt to discipline him.

In June, a deputy was dispatched to the couple’s West Lafayette house to conduct a welfare check. The deputy found nothing out of the ordinary until he stepped into the couple’s living room.

According to the incident report, the deputy saw a rope hanging from the ceiling and several items scattered around the room which could have been used to torture, someone.

Upon searching the house, the deputy found a boy and a girl; both covered in bruises. The couple was later taken into custody and charged with criminal confinement and neglect of a dependent.

A Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson declared that the children were found tied up in the couple’s home.

Conclusion

During question, Stigers told the detectives that Breaux came up with the idea. When the children misbehaved, Breaux would place a rope around their feet and neck before using a buckle to retrain their hands.

This means that every time the child tried to move his feet, he would choke on the rope. The boy also told the authorities that his father would lock him in the garage, denying him food, water, and the use of a bathroom.

Stigers said that she repeatedly attempted to put an end to Breaux’s cruel methods.

COUNCIL CHRONICLE – Fort Bend County deputies are trying to identify four suspects who, allegedly, broke into a home on early Monday morning. According to the surveillance footage, the individual tortured a 7-year-old child during the home invasion to force his father into revealing the location of his valuables.

According to Espinosa, on Monday, a man called 911 to report a home invasion. Upon arriving at the indicated address, the lawmen found an adult male with facial injuries and a soaking-wet infant. Both were taken to the hospital. The child was treated for water in his lungs.

Based on the father’s testimony, three suspects wearing hoods and carrying handguns broke into the house and demanded his valuables. The man told the police that one of them struck him in the head with the gun.

While one of the suspects ravaged the home in search for valuables, another one went upstairs and filled the tub with water. According to the authorities, the suspect dragged the child upstairs and spent the next 40 minutes dunking the child’s head in water in an attempt to intimidate his father.

There’s an audio recording available which captures the gut-wrenching screams of the boy as the suspect nearly drowns him. Public Information Officer Espinosa declared that the recording is too disturbing to be made public.

Lori Bruick’s body was deposited in a similar chest freezer.

Believing that Mrs. Bruick was away, the deputies left the house and returned the following day. The law enforcement officers began to suspect that something could have happened to Mrs. Bruick.

A police spokesperson declared that the deputies on the scene saw items lying around the house, a clear indicative that someone was at home but unable to answer.

Upon entering Mrs. Bruick’s home, the officers discovered several blood-stained clothes, some of them clearly belonging to a man. They’ve also found clues pointing to a struggle between Lori and an unknown aggressor.

Husband wanted to baptize his wife and two children by drowning them in a tub.

COUNCIL CHRONICLE – Last week, West Virginia authorities arrested a 36-year-old father of two who, allegedly, tried to ‘baptize’ his entire family by drowning them in the bathtub. The man’s wife called the authorities after the suspect forced her into the bathroom.

West Virginia Man Claims God Told Him to Baptize His Family

Logan County sheriff’s deputies recently arrested 36-year-old Lesley Kelly, a West Virginia man. The suspect has been charged with three counts of attempted murder, domestic battery, and child abuse.

According to the police report, last week, a Chapmanville woman called the emergency line to report that her husband attempted to drown her and two children.

When the deputies arrived at Kelly’s house, his wife was standing outside, soaking wet. She told the authorities that her husband attempted to drown the entire family because he heard the calling of God.

Kelly, who was inside the house when the lawmen arrived, surrendered to them, saying that he’s well aware of what he’s done and that he wants to be punished.

During questioning, the West Virginia man claimed he heard the calling of God for some time and that everything he’s done was to honor the Lord. More than that, according to Kelly’s confession, he desperately wanted his family to go to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Ohio Man Shows Driver’s License to Bank Teller During Armed Robbery

June 25, 2018 By Dustin Smith Leave a Comment

Clever bank teller convinced Ohio man to use his driver’s license during armed robbery.

COUNCIL CHRONICLE – And this week’s worst criminal award goes to a 51-year-old man from Ohio who, apparently, showed his ID to a bank teller during an armed robbery. The authorities used the man’s credentials to track him down and to arrest him.

Armed Robbery Goes Sideway as Criminal Gives Driver’s License to Teller

Because brawns aren’t everything when it comes to being a criminal, we give you the story of David Menser, a 51-year-old man from Ohio and, apparently, a prolific bank robber.

Mr. Menser came to the police’s attention a while ago, after employees from four different Columbus bank reported the same perpetrator.

Brad Thomas, a detective at the Columbus Division of Police, declared that after committing each robbery, the suspect fled the crime scene in a white van. The latest robbery, which occurred on the 4th of June, comes to prove that Mr. Menser lacks imagination when it comes to covering up his tracks.

The bank teller involved in Menser’s latest heist told the authorities that the suspect entered the bank, approached him, and passed a handwritten note.

In the note, Menser wrote that that was a robbery, and ‘kindly’ asked the teller to place all the money in a plastic bag. Instead of placing all the money in a bag, the bank teller gave him only a stack of cash and told him that he must withdraw the rest from a machine located in the lobby. Menser took the bait.

Conclusion

While at the money machine, the bank teller told Menser that the system requires a valid driver’s license to make a withdrawal. Without even thinking it through, Menser handed over his driver’s license. He took the rest of the money and left.

He was taken into custody on the 15th of June. Detective Thomas said that this isn’t the first armed robbery of this kind.

Affluent Graphic Novelist of Killing Girlfriend, Mutilating Her Body

June 21, 2018 By Adam Martin Leave a Comment

prison

The affluent graphic novelist scalped the woman, drained her body of blood.

COUNCIL CHRONICLE – On Wednesday, Blake Leibel, a 37-year-old affluent graphic novelist from Canada, was found guilty of several charges stemming from his girlfriend’s mutilation and murder. The man was taken into custody in May 2016 after the authorities discovered Iana Kasian’s corpse inside Leibel’s Hollywood condo.

Affluent Graphic Novelist Reportedly Jealous of His Child

Blake Leibel, the son of a retired Olympic athlete, turned developer and Eleonor Leibel, the heiress to a plastics empire, pleaded guilty to all charges, which includes mayhem, first-degree murder, and torture.

If he’s found guilty, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars without the possibility of parole.

The controversy surrounding Leibel’s eccentric way of thinking came to light shortly after publishing
“Syndrome,” a graphic novel focused on the hard to digest exploits of a serial killer. According to the authorities, Leibel’s protagonist had a fetish of stringing up his victim before draining them of blood.

In late May 2016, Hollywood law enforcement officers stumbled upon a scene straight out of one of Leibel’s graphic novels.

Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office declared that the body of 30-year-old Iana Kasian, Leibel’s girlfriend, was found mutilated in the man’s bedroom.

The coroner’s report reveals that while she was still alive, Leibel cut out her scalp and parts of her force. More than that, it would appear that Iana’s body had been drained of blood.

One of the prosecutors declared during Leibel’s trial that most of the injuries inflicted on the victim were done while she was still alive.

Even more horrifying is that fact that Kasian lived six more hours after being scalped and mutilated.

Conclusion

The authorities discovered the couple’s baby beside Kasian’s mutilated cadaver.

Apart from being a graphic novelist, Leibel is also an auto buff and a powerboater.

Mental Health Therapist Hits Nail Salon Worker with Car Over Botched Manicure

June 20, 2018 By Dustin Smith Leave a Comment

nail salon

An Indiana mental health therapist could be charged with attempted murder after dragging a male nail salon employee.

COUNCIL CHRONICLE – Indiana authorities arrested a 28-year-old mental health therapist on Monday who, allegedly, attempted to kill a nail salon employee. According to the police report, the male employee was dragged several meters after being hit by the accused’s car.

Mental Health Therapist Unhappy With the Salon’s Services

Charley Fowler is a 28-year-old woman from Valparaiso, Indiana who recently has been involved in a peculiar incident.

According to the police report, on Monday, Fowler, who’s a mental health therapist, went to the Diamond Nails & Spa for a manicure.

A salon employee told the authorities that Ms. Fowler became rather upset after having her nails done. The woman allegedly told another Diamond Nails & Spa employee that she’s not happy with her nails.

Apparently, she took off even though the salon worker offered to redo her nails. The woman didn’t even bother to pay the $30 for the nail job.

Allegedly, one of the salon’s employees called the authorities when the woman stepped out of the establishment without paying the fee.

Once outside, the mental health therapist got into her car and began backing up. Now, according to the woman’s claims, one of the employees caught up with her and banged on the window, and that was to be the end of the story.

However, Indiana authorities established that the woman’s recollection of Monday’s event is ‘slightly’ different from what actually happened.

According to the authorities, the salon’s surveillance footage captured Fowler backing up her car, totally oblivious to the fact that a male employee was behind it.

Conclusion

What she claimed to be a short car trip to the nearby restaurant was actually attempted murder because the man got caught underneath Fowler’s car and dragged several meters.

The woman was later taken into custody and charged.
