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.”

Dallas officials charge man in 1984 cold case murder, nearly 38 years to the day young woman found dead​

A forensic genetic genealogy analysis linked the suspect to the cold case murder this week, 38 years later​

Dallas District Attorney (DA) John Creuzot's office on Friday arrested and charged a man for the 1984 killing of a 21-year-old woman, Mary Jane Thompson.

Edward Morgan, 60, now faces one count of capital murder in Thompson's killing after 38 years following an investigation by the DA's office in collaboration with the Dallas Police Department (DPD) and the FBI.

His arrest came almost 38 years to the day Thompson's body was discovered behind a warehouse on Feb. 13, 1984, after a DNA test linked him to the crime.

"This case is yet another example of the incredible collaborative effort between the Dallas Police Department, the FBI, and the District Attorney’s [Sexual Assault Kit Initiative] Cold Case team. Working together, we continue to solve the most difficult cold cases that Dallas has ever seen," Dallas County Assistant District Attorney and SAKI Chief Leighton D’Antoni said in a Friday statement.

Thompson was last seen on Feb. 11, 1984, when she took a bus to the Trinity Medical Clinic on then-Industrial Boulevard, but it was closed, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Authorities discovered her body two days later behind a building on the 2300 block of Irving Boulevard in the Stemmons Corridor. Investigators had determined at the time that Thompson had been sexually assaulted and strangled with her own leg warmers,

Possibly Edgar Casian. He's the only one missing from that area that I'm aware of. There are teens, but I'm not sure they'd be identified as a "child".

So has anyone heard anything about a woman going overboard off a cruise ship? In true cruise ship fashion, and media fashion with same as well, there doesn't seem to be much about it out there being talked of AND as always, of course it can't just be she was alone and just went overboard, there HAD to be some event just prior... Apparently she got in an argument with her husband in a hot tub and there is video of her being walked by security I assume back to her room with her hands behind her back. Next thing you know she went into the ocean... I saw something about it a few days ago but just haven't had the chance to look into it further or get links. The case is fact though, I know that much, I mean she really did go overboard. They marked where with a flare and turned the ship around.

I wonder how they determined who he was if he is nonverbal. I can only guess someone noticed him being left, the car, the plate, etc. or something as they were not in their own state or they were in an area someone knew them... Visiting maybe. Hard to say.

This sounds like they think she broke free of the guards and then jumped. I was under the impression she was escorted to her room or somewhere and then it happened. Odd. It never seems to fail something is missing in such instances also. No video of that part of course.

Thank you for posting this, I have a little time now, maybe I'll find more on it and post it if I can. There wasn't much the other day but I didn't look in depth either. I was hoping maybe others heard about it or more on it too.

Never heard if they detained her husband also when they did her after their argument or where he was when she went over. Also no idea who Alicia is. There really isn't likely much info then as this matches mostly what I heard.

only went to one here several years ago and let's just say that this is not surprising from my one and only experience. It was pretty nasty and what makes it even worse is that it was a fairly new store at the time and it already was a mess. Never desired to go to another one.

My local one is okay. People just act like feral humans in dollar type stores, its near impossible to keep up. Plus, if you don't have a strong manager and full competent staff it's also a nightmare.

We were just talking about this as my mom heard it on the news today. I caught a headline about it a few days ago but never read it. We don't have many Family Dollars, the only one I can think of we had in our neck(s) of the woods went under some years ago. Pretty big deal though for those in the affected areas.

Similar. We had one in a small town near here. Went under years ago. They went into an old little building in a not great location, store was a mess, was in there one time only and if I recall, I couldn't even find the very basic item I needed. The same town had a Dollar General that was far nicer and on the main drag, new building, why would anyone go to the Family Dollar I saw? I have no idea.

As I wrote this, there is one in one small town about 1/2 an hour away now that I think about it.... But we don't seem to be in an affected state, I wonder how certain they are of that...

Very true. We have two Dollar Trees where I live. They are night and day different and it has to be management, employees and even area and customers. The one near me is nice and the one in the busier part of town is a mess.

Our Dollar Trees are definitely different between stores and has nearly everything to do with management. Pretty much same neighborhood, so pretty much the same clientele and pretty much the same inventory, but one store is immaculate and the other one, while not bad, it is definitely not as organized or well stocked.

 

[GrandmaBear]

The main ones in our more rural areas are Dollar Generals rule the day. Not Dollar Trees much either. Dollar Generals are pretty good although by nature they carry bigger items than Dollar Tree at a $1 or now $1.25. And so they are stocked high and everywhere sometimes but they still mostly seem better run, maintained and cleaned than any Family Dollar ever has, I will say that.

It is the same in MN. The city has Dollar Trees and Walmarts and Targets I guess so no Dollar Generals. But if you leave the city to the smaller towns, there are often no Walmarts and that's where Dollar General goes in. It is this way everywhere in both states from what I have seen. They mostly go into the towns that have no other options other than maybe a small grocery store.

I didn't even know too many Family Dollars still existed. They started a downhill slide I think long ago or were even bought out by the other..? I forget.

I went into a badly managed DG yesterday to do my actual paying job. My entire area was blocked by freight carts. If they would stock their shelves and organize their stock room, that wouldn't happen. Actually, there were several aisles completely blocked off. If I was about this much * * more vengeful I would have called the fire Marshall. It's illegal.
