    Reporters ask police: Could Idaho University stabbings be connected to previous knife crime in another city?

    There is some added speculation and intrigue concerning the university of Ohio stabbings. The murder captivated and shocked a campus city and state alike.

    There are some new indications that privately investigators have been open to the possibility that there could be connections to previous crimes in different locations..

    Reporters at a news briefing Wednesday asked Moscow police about the possible connection between the students’ slayings and a second unsolved stabbing, which left Travis Juetten dead and seriously injured his wife Jamilyn in Oregon.

    Authorities say an intruder attacked the couple in their sleep around 3 a.m. on Aug. 13, 2021.

    Travis Juetten, 26, fought back but succumbed to his injuries. His wife, who is 26 now, survived 19 stab wounds.

    “We’re looking at every avenue, and we have other agencies reaching out to us with other cases, stuff that we are going to follow up on,” Moscow Police Chief James Fry said Wednesday. He said his office knew about the case and was looking into it, but no official connection has been drawn between the two cases.

    The following morning, the Idaho Tribune reported that a third nearby attack shared similar characteristics.

    The New York Times reporting:

    1,000+ tips to cops
    • 103 pieces of evidence
    • 150+ interviews conducted

    The police continue to work through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend in Moscow Idaho.

    Police in Moscow, Idaho, are pleading with the public to help them find the unknown suspect who stabbed four University of Idaho students to death in a house near campus.

    Blood was seen seeping from the house where four University of Idaho students were brutally murdered over the weekend as a report of a previous campus threat surfaced.

    Fox News Digital obtained the grisly new photos of the crime scene Wednesday that showed blood dripping from the first floor bedroom down an exterior wall at the back of the house.  

    Police in Moscow, Idaho, are pleading with the public to help them find the unknown suspect who stabbed four University of Idaho students to death in a house near campus.

    The Moscow Police Department revealed Tuesday that all four students were killed with an “edged weapon” in a targeted attack but did not specify whether it was a knife or some other sharp instrument. Investigators said they had not found a weapon…

    “That individual is still out there,” Moscow Police Chief James Fry said during a news conference Wednesday. “We cannot say there is no threat to the community.”

    U of I postponed a vigil scheduled for 5 p.m. Wednesday to the week of Nov. 28, after students return from the break. The university canceled classes Monday while police investigated the deaths, and some professors have taken it upon themselves to call things off for the week…

  • The DAHMER Netflix movie has enraged some family of deceased–and cast who worked on it have PTSD!?

    The DAHMER Netflix movie has enraged some family of deceased–and cast who worked on it have PTSD!?

    We read this interesting headline this morning:

    ‘Dahmer’ Crew Member Slams Set as ‘One of the Worst Shows I’ve Ever Worked On’: ‘The Trailer Itself Gave Me PTSD’

    From the Variety story,

    Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” production coordinator Kim Alsup went viral on Twitter before the Netflix series even debuted when she revealed she was “treated horribly” on set. Alsup wrote that she was one of just two Black people on the set and that other crew members often called her by the other Black person’s name.

    “They kept calling me her name. We both had braids, she was dark skin and 5’10. I’m 5’5,” Alsup wrote on Twitter. “Working on this took everything I had as I was treated horribly. I look at the Black female lead differently now too.”

    And more:

    “I just feel like it’s going to bring back too many memories of working on it. I don’t want to have these PTSD types of situations,” Alsup said. “The trailer itself gave me PTSD, which is why I ended up writing that tweet and I didn’t think that anybody was going to read.”


    This is on the heels of another story we read a few days ago about at least one of the people who lived through the Jeffrey Dahmer real life nightmare speaking out about how it feels to see his image and story being broadcast to a global audience in the hit Netflix show:

    In an essay for Insider, Errol Lindsey’s sister Rita Isbell felt that Netflix should have asked for their thoughts on the project. Instead, she feels like “they’re just making money off of this tragedy. That’s just greed.”

    MORE..

    “When I saw some of the show, it bothered me, especially when I saw myself — when I saw my name come across the screen and this lady saying verbatim exactly what I said.

    If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought it was me. Her hair was like mine, she had on the same clothes. That’s why it felt like reliving it all over again. It brought back all the emotions I was feeling back then.

    I was never contacted about the show. I feel like Netflix should’ve asked if we mind or how we felt about making it. They didn’t ask me anything. They just did it.”

    Now some are enraged that the movie makers would use “PTSD” in their description of emotion–after all it should really be those who were directly involved that may experience that. But we all could experience a little touch of it.

    The Dahmer nightmare was real .. I lived through news coverage but that was the closest I got. Along with the 1990s being filled with dark morbid jokes using his name..

    MORE FROM SUN TIMES REPORTER LYNN SWEET:

    A Fourth of July parade-goer runs for cover after gunfire was heard at the parade Monday morning.

    MORE FROM THE SUN TIMES REPORT:

    Several witnesses said they heard multiple shots fired. One witness said he counted more than 20 shots.

    Miles Zaremski, a Highland Park resident, told the Sun-Times: “I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. So it couldn’t have been just a handgun or a shotgun.”

    Zaremski said that after the shots at Central Avenue around Second Avenue in downtown Highland Park, he saw “people in that area that got shot,” including “a woman covered with blood … She did not survive.”

    There are reports that the Highland Park Independence Day shooting may have been on top of a building ..

    More..

    The parade route was near Central Avenue and Second Street.

    The parade was stopped about 10 minutes after it kicked off at 10 a.m. when shots were fired, striking an unknown number of parade-goers and sending hundreds of people running for safety.

    A Chicago Sun-Times reporter saw blankets covering three bloodied bodies and five other people wounded and bloodied near the parade’s reviewing stand. Several witnesses said they heard multiple shots fired. One witness said he counted more than 20 shots.

    Police were telling people: “Everybody disperse, please. It is not safe to be here.”

    Sick find: 31 bodies found at funeral home, some of them are decomposing

    Police in the Louisville suburb of Jeffersonville responded to Lankford Funeral Home and Family Center on Friday evening and found 31 bodies, including some “in the advanced stages of decomposition,” Maj. Isaac Parker said.

    He said the county coroner’s office had reported a strong odor emanating from the building. Inside, officers wearing hazmat gear found bodies “in different places around the building.”

    Some of the bodies had been at the funeral home since March, Parker said.
     Police also found the cremated remains of 16 people.

    A woman who sent her brother’s body to the funeral home for cremation after he died in April told WHAS-TV that she is still waiting for his remains. Tara Owen said when she reached out to the funeral director, he responded that he was “dealing with a lot at the moment.”

    There is a chance that people were on to something wretched occurring.. Read this GOOGLE REVIEW from PRIOR to the event becoming known to police and receiving national headlines:

    Do not trust this place. This man took my money, promised me my fathers remains and then gave them to my brothers, one of which is wanted by the state of Ohio. This man rejected all my phone calls for two months and exactly two months after my dad had passed, finally answered my call and told me he had given the ashes away. THIS PLACE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED. The man was rude to me on the phone and wouldn’t even tell me when in the past two months my fathers remains had been picked up. I’m 2k miles away on the west coast and he told me he would ship them to me since i had paid for the cremation. This place wouldn’t even post an obituary for my father even through I had written and submitted one (w a pic) for their website. They won’t even upload my dads pic on the website.

  • IS IT CAKE? Man arrested for Mona Lisa stunt

    IS IT CAKE? Man arrested for Mona Lisa stunt

    While we used the image from MR. BEAN for this story, it was not him.. Instead this Mona Lisa attack involved cake!

    FROM THE AFP REPORTING:

    A 36-year-old man has been arrested and placed in psychiatric care after he smeared a glass screen encasing the Mona Lisa with cake, prosecutors said Monday, in a purported protest against artists not focusing enough on “the planet”.

    Officials at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where the enigmatic portrait holds pride of place, declined to comment on the bizarre incident on Sunday, which was captured on several phones and circulated widely on social media.

    The treasured work by Leonardo da Vinci, which has been the target of vandalism attempts in the past, was unharmed thanks to its bulletproof glass case.

    A Twitter user identified as Lukeee posted a video showing a museum employee wiping a mess off the glass and another showing a man dressed in white being escorted away by security guards.

    “A man dressed as an old lady jumps out of a wheelchair and attempted to smash the bulletproof glass of the Mona Lisa. Then proceeds to smear cake on the glass and throws roses everywhere, all before being tackled by security,” Lukeee wrote.

    Speaking French, the man says: “There are people who are destroying the Earth… All artists, think about the Earth. That’s why I did this. Think of the planet.”

  • Texas Department of Public Safety admits “it was wrong”  not to immediately breach the class door

    Texas Department of Public Safety admits “it was wrong” not to immediately breach the class door

    This is just horrible.

    Seriously, awful.

    This week has been one of the worst in some time. We are mourning.. we are angry.. we are sad.

    What makes this entire situation worse is new information that maybe police could have done more to stop Salvador Ramos before he killed as many as he did in Uvlade’s Robb Elementary.

    Steven McCraw, the Director and Colonel of the Texas Department of Public Safety, points to a map of the shooter’s movements during a press conference in front of Robb Elemenary School where a deadly shooting left 19 children and two teachers dead, in Uvalde, Tx., U.S., on Friday, May 27, 2022. Ninteen children and two teachers were killed when an 18-year-old gunman opened fire in a classroom at Robb Elementary School on Tuesday, May 24, 2022 in Uvalde, Tx. Photographer: Matthew Busch/CNN

    New information today has created more public anger:

    While taking questions from reporters during Friday’s news conference, Col. Steven McCraw of the Texas Department of Public Safety criticized some aspects of the police response to the shooting, in particular regarding the time it took for officers to engage with the gunman.

    “A decision was made that this was a barricaded subject situation,” McCraw said of the incident commander’s “thought process” at the time.

    Rather than immediately try to breach the classroom and engage with the gunman, McCraw said the commander — who he later identified as the school district’s chief of police — decided that “there was time to retrieve the keys, and wait for a tactical team with the equipment to go ahead and breach the door and take on the subject.”“From the benefit of hindsight where I’m sitting now, of course it was not the right decision. It was the wrong decision, period. There’s no excuse for that. But again, I wasn’t there,” he added.

    “We believe there should have been an entry as soon as you can,” McCraw continued. “When there’s an active shooter, the rules change.”

    Just awful.

  • BUFFALO NEWS SPLASH: DID SOMEONE HAVE 30 MINUTES ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE OF GROCERY STORE SHOOTING?

    BUFFALO NEWS SPLASH: DID SOMEONE HAVE 30 MINUTES ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE OF GROCERY STORE SHOOTING?

    The New York paper doing great reporting not being seen in national sources:

    Law enforcement officers are investigating whether a retired federal agent had about 30 minutes advance notice of a white supremacist’s plans to murder Black people at a Buffalo supermarket, two law enforcement officials told The Buffalo News. 

    Authorities believe the former agent – believed to be from Texas – was one of at least six individuals who regularly communicated with accused gunman Payton Gendron in an online chat room where racist hatred was discussed, the two officials said.

    The two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation stated these individuals were invited by Gendron to read about his mass shooting plans and the target location about 30 minutes before Gendron killed 10 people at Tops Markets on Jefferson Avenue on May 14. 

    The News could not determine if the retired agent accepted the invitation.
