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 value and understanding of compassion.”

Madoff said in the request for compassionate release that he “does not dispute the severity of his crimes.”

Wow.

Bob Saget's autopsy report reveals more severe injuries than believed

Health experts are demanding answers about the cause of Bob Saget's death after an autopsy report found his injuries more significant than initially believed.

www.dailymail.co.uk

When someone not that old, in apparently good health, who just was on stage, etc., etc., etc. is found dead by an apparent accident, you don't just say OH, this probably happened and leave it at that. And he was well known so one would think it would have been particularly looked at because of course people will question.

And this was Orlando, not Cripple Creek, Colorado...

Not saying it was foul play but did they look for DNA, hair etc. from his hitting something hard like the bathtub, etc. Have they looked at hotel cameras.

Unfortunately I learned quite a bit about head injuries and skull fractures when it came to our baby... I can't say I know it all or can understand it all but I get a lot of it... This was a significant blow, probably with a lot of velocity.

I mean maybe they are investigating more than we know and news does not know BUT are they...?

I think suicides and accidents should be investigated like anything. I think putting down heart at someone 49 should be looked beyond. And if someone is in apparent good health and of not advanced age, even more so.

Sometimes it comes down to money, funding, a small area ME, etc. BUT again, he was known, this was Orlando, etc.

I know of him in Full House and of course Funniest Home Videos the most. I can't say I know a lot about his family, his life, etc. although I've heard bits and pieces here and there through the years.

Reading some of the comments below the piece was interesting as well. Had to skim fast, still on a maniacal road of getting a lot of things done here.

I don't necessarily think foul play but there should be some evidence most likely of where he fell and what he hit if not... Maybe not to the naked eye but... Did anyone here him scream in pain? Hotel hallway videos? Etc.?

Hopefully she wasn't "living" in this hidden room and had just been placed in there when authorities arrived.

That's what i am curious about. Was it simply a "stash" spot when somebody came to the door or was that where she actually existed?

They remark on her being healthy, etc. and it sounded like beyond this area it went into a room and basement.

I'm curious why they were trying to take them from the parents in the first place, that might tell more. Meaning if they had evidence of abuse or something, then I'd be more concerned about where they found her but the article I read above made it seem more like a hiding spot. My first thought on the headline though was another child kept in a cage or closet, etc. but it doesn't really strike that way on reading more. So far anyhow.

Local news is saying it was a hiding spot.

'A tiny pair of feet' led investigators to a 4-year-old missing since 2019 - East Idaho News

(CNN) — A child who was reported missing in 2019 when she was 4 years old was found hidden under a wooden staircase with her non-custodial mother, in a home officials had visited several times while investigating her disappearance, authorities said Tuesday. The child, Paislee Joann Shultis, now...

1. I think headlines are deceiving. From what I'm reading this child is 7 now. Headlines make it sound like she is 4. Am I correct?

2. Copied from link:

One last stop: A McDonald’s drive-thru

The young girl was “upset and was concerned” when police first rescued her, Sinagra said.

“That begs the question, what was the child told about the police and, you know, why the police would come and take her,” Sinagra said. “That’s what I’m concerned about. … And I’m sure that when she saw several of our officers, who were heavily armed … that was somewhat traumatizing to the child.”

Before she was released to her legal guardian, detectives drove the girl to police headquarters, in part so medics could examine her. As they drove, she saw a McDonald’s and recalled having some a long time ago, the chief said.

“So, the detectives turned the car around and went to the drive-through at McDonald’s, picked her up a Happy Meal, and brought her back to headquarters. And she was fine after that,” the chief added.

An investigation is ongoing, the news release reads.

proving that you can't just read the headlines. They are mostly designed to deceive, it seems. So often the body of an article either doesn't say anything that the headlines imply or totally contradict the headline. Designed for click bait and sensationalism.

Paislee Shultis & the Danger of Family Abductions

www.missingkids.org

When a 6-year-old girl was found this week hidden under a staircase in a home in Saugerties, New York, it was shocking. Paislee Shultis disappeared in 2019, allegedly abducted by her non-custodial parents. We don’t yet know all the details in Paislee’s case, but one thing is clear - family abductions are serious and often misunderstood.
Chances are you’ve heard stories about stranger abductions, but family abductions are far more common and can be just as damaging and dangerous for a child. Family abductions were reported 20 times more often to us here at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) than non-family abductions in the year 2020. Currently, we have over 1,100 children actively missing because of family abduction.

You might think that this type of abduction is less serious because, “At least they’re with their mom or dad...” but that’s often not the case. Decades of research show the serious and harmful effects that family abductions can have on child victims.

Children abducted by a parent are often told lies to justify abruptly leaving home. They often remain isolated out of fear of being noticed or getting caught. Many times, they are kept out of school, away from parks and neighbors, and without any contact with friends or family members.

They’ll often be told lies about their other parent.

“Your mother is dangerous…”

“Your father doesn’t love you…”

“Your mother is dead…”

Trusting their parents, these lies become new realities for these young children.

We hear those lies so often in family abduction cases we call them the “3 D’s”: Dead, Disinterested, or Dangerous.

Sadly, of the family abduction cases that NCMEC has worked on to date, 121 children have been located deceased.
