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.”


IMO- stay in jail

Is this wife going to be smart enough to dump this man? We've sure seen a string of 'em lately who don't have that sense. What a loser.

Seems they are kind of babying him to get him to come back, LE I mean. This sh*t is not minor. You're an adult, grow the F up. You can go where you want, even leave your wife. You don't FAKE your death. Didn't do it very well either. Dumbas*!
 
This country really needs a few new stiff laws. Families of SKs profiting, people faking their own deaths or abductions. My God. The list goes on.
 
What better gift could he give his kids than to be there for Christmas is the ending of the presser. He almost chokes up about it. I'm guessing the family is devastated. And I'm not knocking the sheriff. I liked when he said, this POS thought they'd search for two weeks tops and he said he picked the wrong county and the wrong sheriff.

I'm sure the sheriff is limited in what he can say right now.

When DID this man consider his kids? He LEFT THEM. Let THEM think he DROWNED/DIED or hoped that was what would result. HOW IS THAT caring about your kids? What's in your mind, oh they'll get over it, I have a new woman across the world... Deal with it kiddos. Yeah he should be worried about the community and being judged.
 
Sheriff said he's smart, handy, he could probably adapt over there, has an apartment, probably has a job... Okayyyy....

Smart. Hmm. Again, I like the sheriff don't get me wrong. I think he77 has descended on this county with this case. Seriously doubt it's something they are used to.

That's a wrap from me. Lots more in it, tons of press questions, etc.
 
Have we heard of this one? Missing pregnant mother from Gary IN. I'm trying not to get into many new ones here but saw this elsewhere. It starts out covering some others, Simpson, Kobyaki (sp?) then goes to hers. I've seen the threads come up but have stayed out. I'm winding it down. Time for something different. But do see some elsewhere and saw this. So...

 
Not reported missing for a couple of weeks. Not sure what to make of that, I get it from the bf who is probably the one who did something, but she was due to deliver, so just wondering why family wouldn't have been wondering unless he was lying to them or something and covering. Not clear.

His residence looks not so great but then I can't talk, I've had a few that certainly needed work, just saying though...Pretty dilapidated and where she was last seen...25. I believe has four kids or had. Wondering if this guy is the father of the rest. Doubtful imo. I need to listen to the rest though. I mean IF he did it, he didn't kill over the other births so guessing he's newer in the picture/her life.
 
He is in jail but on something unrelated.

She had been in jail recently and had just gotten out. Not said for what. So I'd have to assume was in jail recently while pregnant. I wonder who had her kids. Just giving info. I don't have an opinion, just learning of it, nor even of him although they say her family seems to think he is involved.
 
They are trying to get this pushed out into the news and public attn now. Seems as if at first that wasn't wanted maybe...

IF I have it right she traveled some either on foot or in car (alive or not?) after last seen. I have to start get moving but perhaps someone else can take a listen. I guess we can hope she went missing voluntarily but not really seeming like it this far... Extra concern because she would likely have delivered the baby by now...
 
Now an odd cryptic twist. They are looking for an older camper that is known to 'drive" around Gary but they don't think it's housed in Gary... WTH? Not an RV but older smaller camper...
 
Okay need to get moving but still stupidly at it. She wanted to go talk to the bf about the baby, etc. and her mother said do you have to do that today, didn't want her to. I can only guess there were issues or had been. Sadly this sounds pretty classic but hoping to be wrong. Two of her sisters dropped her off there. Has a big loving family where most are in touch all of the time, etc.

BF is in jail on nonappearance warrants but still not said for what those appearances were for.

The camper seems like a bit of a sidetrack. Not sure if it relates to him, some tip or what the heck... Pretty cryptic as to why they are looking for such.
 
This is not new but it is one I never was aware of and it was a very good watch. And happened in my own State.

It was also good to test the instincts but am not going to ruin it for anyone else. I'm finding little on lately and little to read here, etc. Not like I have a lot of time but when I do, not finding much. Tom has a show, his "final" Delphi one but it is over three hours so haven't started that one yet. Hit a few other things first.

I had my instincts about the brothers after a bit in, won't say if they were right or wrong, and then something was found where both worked. It's fairly good at suspense in leading one to not knowing for sure until towards the final part or at least in the middle or later before you can be sure of one thing versus another.

Psheesh she was a hard working, studious 18 year old and I guarantee Wausau wasn't used to this, probably still aren't. It's not the smallest city but it's not huge either. Our cities can be 8,000, even smaller.

It's not Milwaukee, or Madison. It's about 40K.

Central part. Not nearer the bigger cities all in the south or near the northern part all smaller for the most part.

It also shows how ICE is necessary and is used. Not everyone talked to was detained but one was to hold him when his story wasn't adding up.

But that's the least part of this and this girl was well loved. And well the offender and why, well, people can see how they see it and what their instinct is throughout it.

Maybe some knew of the case back when or saw it, I know it was unfamiliar to me.

A lot of good people in it, certainly not all bad, meaning some are looked at and vetted, not positive if they are legal or not but only one was ICE used to detain. Perhaps the others are legal, hard to say.

BUT it's not a story about that. She was 18 and about to graduate, it was May, worked hard, was smart, etc. and living with her Hispanic bf and his brother. By all accounts his brother adored her as did he....

It was harder to be sure of the brother who was her bf as his interviews were not shown. The brother not dating her, several interviews were shown. Then it goes from there. Was it one of them or someone else...

I've said too many times I'm not a big L & C fan but most of what I see are current things and this was well done imo. I'm sure there's a LOT not shown but for a bit of suspense and making something about a case they eventually get a lot on when it's over, it was pretty darned good.

It's done of course as a whodunit and purposely leaving one wondering til later in the show and is not a current case. For more of a TV like thing, intentionally making it that way, it was very good.

So if anyone else is running into little out there lately, or just has some time and wants something different and if a case they never heard of, it's a good watch.

And if anyone does, I'd be interested on their take and how they leaned in the beginning, as it went on, and how it ended up, etc...

Ah so it it is here. It was so long ago, I did not even look. Normally I try to check first. But she went missing in something like 2009 did she not? That says 2024. If I hadn't it was before the new site went up, i would have looked.
