party

Former Virginia Tech freshman allegedly raped girl during a party.

On Tuesday, David Eisenhauer, a former Virginia Tech freshman, was sentenced to 50 years in prison after the jury found him guilty of homicide, concealing a dead body, and abduction. The man has been arrested in 2016 in connection with the stabbing of a 13-year-old Blacksburg student.

Former Virginia Tech Told Ex That The Sophomore Girl Might Be Pregnant

Robert Turk, the judge presiding over David Eisenhauer’s trial, sentenced the former Virginia Tech freshman to 50 years in prison for the murder of 13-year-old Nicole Lovell.

Marry Pettitt, Eisenhauer’s recalled the key facts before sentencing. According to Pettitt, Eisenhauer met Lovell in fall 2015. Before the meeting, the two of them exchanged message via an online chat application.

According to court documents, Eisenhauer met Lovell for the first time at the beginning of January. They would again meet at the end of the month when the Virginia Tech freshman promised her a night to remember.

The authorities declared that Eisenhauer lured Lovell out of the house to kill her. Apparently, the man feared that the child could blow the whistle on their relationship.

Natalie Keepers, Eisenhauer’s girlfriend and confidant told the homicide detectives that the man told her on more than one occasion that he fears being discovered by authorities. More than that, according to Keepers’ claims, Eisenhauer was worried that Lovell could be pregnant.

The Virginia Tech freshman told the woman that he could have had sex with her during a party. Eisenhauer told the police the same story but mentioned that he doesn’t remember what happened that night because he was drunk. He did remember waking up in a ditch the following morning.

Conclusion

Prosecutor Pettitt told the jury that Eisenhauer’s deed took a great took on Lovell’s family. After receiving the news, Lovell’s father was diagnosed with PTSD,  while her mother has to take pills to sleep at night.

San Francisco Woman Threatened to Call Police on Girl Who Sold Ice Water for Disneyland Trip

June 25, 2018 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Jordan sold ice-cold water to help her mother raise the money for her Disneyland trip.

A San Francisco woman’s threats to call the cops on an 8-year-old girl who wanted to raise money for her Disneyland trip sent shockwaves across social media. The woman, now called #PermitPatty, has been compared to the woman who called the police on her black neighbor who was barbequing in front of his house.

Disneyland Trip Girl Said She Only Wanted to Help Her Financially Challenged Mother

Because no good deed should ever go unpunished, we bring you the story of 8-year-old Jordan Austin, a girl from San Francisco.

At the beginning of the year, Erin Austin, Jordan’s mother, lost her job. Despite her financial situation, Erin said she would take Jordan to Disneyland. However, Erin told Erin that the only way for her to keep the promise is for Jordan to help her raise the money for the trip.

And so, last week, the enterprising child placed a couple of water bottles inside an ice-filling cooler and went outside Erin’s apartment to set up her little stand.

Jordan spends the next hours selling ice-cold water to people passing her stand, at $2 a bottle.

After a while, Alison Ettel, the woman living next to Erin’s house, left her home and asked the child to pack up her stand and leave. When her mother came, the woman told her that she could not work because Jordan was too loud.

Apparently, the argument between Alison and Erin took a turn for the worse, after the woman told Erin that she would the police because her daughter doesn’t have a permit to sell water. Of course, Erin told her that Jordan’s on her property, to which Ettel told her that’s not her property.

Conclusion

Frustrated by the woman’s attitude, Erin filmed the entire conversation and posted it on Facebook. Needless to say, it didn’t take users long to react. They even came up with a nickname for Mrs. Ettell – #PermitPatty.

Epping Woman Sentence to 20 Years of Prison for Mutilating Homeless Woman’s Children

June 12, 2018 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

prison

The Epping woman assaulted both children while there mother was away at work.

A 29-year-old Epping woman was sentenced on Friday to 20 years of prison, being found guilty on two counts of first-degree assault and one count of second-degree assault. According to court documents, the accused assaulted a homeless woman’s children, causing blinding in one and extensive brain damage in the other.

Epping Woman Called Sadistic by Rockingham County Attorney

This Friday, N. William Delker, the Rockingham County Superior Court Judge, sentenced 29-year-old Jami Lynn Castine, an Epping resident, to 20 years in federal prison for what she did to Lindsey Dubon-Romero’s children in 2016.

According to court documents, back in March 2016, Castine approached Lindsey Dubon-Romero about babysitting her children. Patricia Conway, a Rockingham County attorney and chief prosecutor, told the jury that the Epping woman took advantage of Dubon-Romero’s financial situation so that she could indulge her sick pleasures.

Conway said that Dubon-Romero had been on the road for some time before meeting Castine. She lost her job, her husband, and her house. All she had left were her 18-month-old twin boys.

According to the woman, Castine offered her a place to stay and promised to take care of her boys while she was out searching for a job.

The authorities determined that sometime between March and April 2016, Castine assaulted the children. What she did to them that day was beyond description.

Conclusion

Prosecutor Conway declared that the children’s injuries ranged from bruises to brain bleeding, detached retina, and retinal bleeding. The assault left one boy’s blind in the left eye. Moreover, the doctors determined that both kids could have developmental and intellectual issues.

Joseph Malfitani, a public defender, tacitly agreed with the jury’s verdict. He attempted to call upon the jury’s leniency, arguing that his client had a traumatic past.

Grand Chute Man’s Highly-Aggressive Immune System Cancer Goes into Remission with Experimental Therapy

June 8, 2018 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

CAR T Therapy induced remission in man with terminal immune system cancer.

Bren Carroll, a retired Navy vet, said that his immune system cancer has gone into full remission thanks to an experimental treatment. Given only two years to live, Carroll, against all the odds, has gone seven years cancer-free. Carroll’s oncologist declared that the man’s response to treatment is encouraging.

Grand Chute Man Diagnose with Mantel Cell Lymphoma, a Type of Immune System Cancer

The retired Navy veteran recalls the dreadful moment after his doctors told him that he has cancer. Back in 2011, Carroll, who just ended a decades-long military career, was looking forward to spending more time with his wife and children.

Regrettably, he would soon find out that he has mantel cell lymphoma, a very rare and incurable type of immune system cancer. During a recent interview, the Grand Chute man told the reporter that his doctor gave him two years to live.

Until he enrolled in Dr. Nirav Shah’s clinical trial, Carroll tried all forms of conventional cancer treatments.

In October 2011, taken aback by Shah’s experimental therapy, Carroll signed up to Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin clinical trial.

Dr. Shah, an assistant professor of medicine, specialized in oncology and hematology, used a variation of the CAR T therapy (chimeric antigen receptor T-cell) in order to target the cancer cells.

More specifically, Dr. Shah and his team harvested Carroll’s T-cells and reprogrammed them to fight against the cancer cells. Shah declared that this version of CAR T therapy is patient-tailored since the more ‘traditional’ approach relies on targeting a single receptor. In Carroll’s case, the treatment was designed to target two cancer receptors – CD20 and CD 19.

Conclusion

Seven years later, Carroll’s cancer is virtually untraceable. Shah said that we shouldn’t call the CAR T therapy a cure just yet, but it appears to be the first step in the right direction.

Kaylee Muthart, the 20-year-old woman who gouged her eyes in February while on drugs, speaks out the first time after the unfortunate incident. The woman, who’s now drugs, free said that she’s feeling great and looking forward to resuming her studies.

Kaylee Muthart Said She Had an End-of-the-World Vision Before Removing Eyes

On the 6th of February, an Anderson pastor called 911 to report that a young woman was sitting in front of the Anderson church with her eyeballs in her hands.

Three months after the incident, Muthart, who now spends her free time honing her piano and guitar skills, recalls what happened before the pastor found her.

A straight-A student and a nature lover, Muthart abandoned her studies for drugs. The woman told the reporters that she used to do meth and ecstasy at least twice each day with ‘a friend.’

Her Christian upbringing made her obsess even more with theology after she started doing drugs. Muthart told the reporter that she liked reading and studying the Bible while she was high.

However, on that day, Muthart’s life would take a completely unexpected turn. The woman said that while high, she had an end-of-days vision. Apparently, someone whispered to her that the world would come to an end if she did not remove her eyes.

Sparing the disturbingly graphic details, Kaylee Muthart ended up in front of the Anderson church with eyeballs in hand.

Conclusion

In the months following the incident, Muthart underwent surgery to have her eye sockets cleaned. She will have to undergo a second surgery for eye prosthetics.

Even though Muthart has been through Hell and back, she came out feeling hopeful. The woman said that now spends most of her time practicing guitar, taking up piano lessons, and studying to become a marine biologist.

The Ontario mom said she had an argument with her boyfriend during a family gathering.

On Monday, Ontario authorities arrested a 19-year-old woman after she killed a 7-month-old baby during a domestic dispute with her boyfriend. The Ontario mom could have been drunk at the time of the accident, a police spokesperson declared.

Ontario Mom Said She Did Not Want to Kill Child

At the beginning of the week, a woman called 911 to report an accident at the 500 Block of West D Street.

First responders identified a 21-year-old male victim with abrasion and an unresponsive 7-month-old child. The infant was declared dead at the scene after life-saving maneuvers failed.

According to the authorities, the accident has been caused by a 19-year-old woman, later identified as Sarah Gomez.

Ms. Gomez told the authorities that she and her 21-year-old boyfriend were inside the home, attending a family gathering when an argument erupted between the two.

At one point, Gomez’s boyfriend picked up the couple’s 7-month-old daughter and left the house. Upset by the man’s impromptu departure, the woman left the house, got into her car, and ran over her boyfriend.

Based on the police report, at the time of the accident, the 21-year-old was carrying the infant.

Sergeant Jeff Higbee of Ontario’s Police Department declared that the detectives couldn’t say for sure how the infant was struck. However, based on crime scene clues, Gomez must’ve hit them with the side or back of the car.

A field sobriety test indicated that Gomez’s blood alcohol level was over the legal limit.

Conclusion

Following the accident, the Ontario mom was charged with vehicular manslaughter and DUI leading to great bodily injury or death.

The woman was later transported to West Valley Detention Center.

Sergeant Higbee declared that he’s not sure if the toddler’s death is the result of an accident or it was intentional.

Arkansas woman hid the murder weapon in an outhouse.

Last week, Arkansas authorities arrested a 26-year-old woman suspected of having killed her grandmother. The Arkansas woman might have murdered her 81-year-old grandmother to get ahold of her property. Body turned up after a welfare check performed on Wednesday.

Arkansas Woman Has No Criminal Record Authorities Confirmed

On Monday, Benton County Sheriff’s deputies and Pea Ridge police officers seized 26-year-old Andrea Lea Wilson. The woman was later charged with one count of first-degree murder.

On Wednesday, at around 7:00 p.m., several Benton County deputies went to Ruby Ross’ residence to perform a welfare check. As they’ve received no answer, they radioed the Pea Ridge Police Department for reinforcements.

Later that day, Leann Ross, Ruby’s daughter came to her house. Upon entering the woman’s bedroom, Leann found her murder dead in bed, with blood splattered on the headboard.

When the authorities arrived, Leann mentioned that the last person to see Ruby alive was Andrea Lea Wilson, Ruby’s granddaughter.

While investigating Ruby’s home and the surrounding area, the authorities discovered a garbage bag inside the woman’s outhouse. The bag contained a blood-stained knife, a pair of surgical gloves, and a hammer with blood and hair on it.

On Monday, the Arkansas woman was taken into custody and charged on suspicion of murder.

Conclusion

According to the authorities, Lea Wilson had no criminal record and had no conflicts with the victim. However, a follow-up investigation revealed that the Arkansas woman had a $12,000 debt, meaning that she could have murdered the 81-year-old woman to grab her property.

Crime scene investigators also found blood on Lea Wilson’s purse, inside her car, and on a 5-gallon bucket.

The authorities said that the security camera installed on the porch could help in the investigation, but it later turned out that it was a fake.

Oklahoma Woman Ripped to Shreds By Dachshund Pack

May 17, 2018 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

small dogs

The Oklahoma woman was mauled to death by a dachshund pack.

Ardmore law enforcement agents are still trying to determine how a dachshund pack managed to maul a 52-year-old woman to death. The incident occurred last week, in rural Oklahoma. During the action, a police officer had to shoot a member of the pack.

No Clue Why the Dachshund Pack Attacked Woman

On the 10th of May, an individual contacted Ardmore police to report that a woman was being attacked by a pack of wild dogs.

Upon arriving at the location, the authorities identified a 52-year-old woman in critical conditions and seven dogs running around her.

Tracy Garcia, the victim, was airlifted to the hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

During the rescue operation, a member of the pack was fatally shot after it lunged at a police officer. Animal services captured the rest of the pack later that day.

Based on the police investigation, the dogs belonged to Garcia’s next-door neighbor. The man has no idea how the dogs escaped or why they attacked Garcia.

Christ Bryant, the Carter County Sheriff, declared that all dogs were euthanized at the owner’s request. Amanda Dinwiddie, a euthanasia expert, noted that some of the canines were a mix of terrier and dachshund and one appeared to be a border collie mix.

She also said that the dogs were between one and three-year-old. The oldest probably was their mother.

Dinwiddie added that she didn’t notice anything usual about the dogs apart from the fact that they were covered in fleas.

Conclusion

Garcia’s body was returned to the family for burial. The District Attorney is expecting the coroner’s report to determine if charges will be pressed against the dogs’ owner.

No other casualties were reported. Mrs. Garcia was buried on the 15th of May. Her obituary read that the woman had a life-long passion for music and that she played in a family band.

On Thursday, the authorities arrested 35-year-old Christy Ann Churchwell, a Texas mom. The woman was charged with assaulting a police officer, filing a false report or alarm, and public intoxication.

According to a police spokesperson, the woman’s began to attract attention as soon as she arrived at the Friendswood Junior High School.

On that day, the Churchwell’s daughter was due to appear on stage for the first time. While in the auditorium, the Texas mom began yelling at her daughter who was on stage.

After several attendees asked her to keep quiet, a police officer told the woman to step outside for a ‘friendly’ chat regarding her behavior.

Once outside, Churchwell attempted to punch the cop. Not even handcuffs could hold the irate mother who kicked the arresting officer in the leg.

While in her jail cell, the Texas mother continued to swear and shout. Minutes later, the police station’s fire alarm went off, prompting the authorities to evacuate the building.

It was later discovered that Churchwell triggered the alarm on purpose by placing her lighter beneath the smoke sensor.

Conclusion

The authorities discovered eight travel-sized vodka bottles on Churchwell, seven of which were licked clean.

Despite being initially charged with misdemeanor public intoxication, Churchwell’s charges were later upgraded.

The woman will now have to answer for public intoxication, assaulting a police officer, and filing a false report or alarm.

Yale University Brain Scientists Keep Hog’s Head Alive Hours After Decapitation

April 27, 2018 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Yale University

Yale University researchers were able to keep pig’s brain alive 36 hours after decapitating the animal.

Yale University has recently announced that another milestone in brain sciences has been reached. A team of researchers was able to keep a hog’s brain alive for 36 hours after being decapitated. Through gruesome, this research has the potential to uncover even more facts about how the brain works.

Yale University Scientists Said Experimental Drugs Could Be Tested on Severed Heads

Nenad Sestan, the head scientists of Yale University’s project centered on the human brain, has presented the findings of his team during a recent National Institutes of Health conference. Sestan pointed out that the research conducted in the University’s lab could prove to be pivotal in understanding the inner workings of the human brain and could open the doors to how clinicians experiment with untested drugs.

During the conference, Sestan declared that he and his team managed to keep a pig’s brain cells alive for 36 hours after surgically removing the head. Although the specimen did not retain consciousness throughout the experiment, its responses bordering on the somatic, it does prove that, under special conditions, organs such as the brain can be kept alive.

For the purpose of this Frankenstein-inspired experiment, Sestan and his team employed an apparatus called BrainEx. With this device, his team was able to feed the hog’s brain with body-temperature blood in an attempt to preserve its functions.

Upon analyzing the hog’s brain cells under the microscope, the Yale University team discovered that they were very much alive and behaved as though the head never left the body.

Conclusion

As Sestan pointed out, this rather macabre technique could alter the way we thoughts, consciousness, and even death. More than that, this procedure can help clinicians test cancer or dementia meds on deceased patients’ heads without having to rely on animals or computer-generated models.
