The Georgia authorities recently managed to arrest a dangerous sexual predator who raped a 25-year-old University student. According to the victims, the individual posed as an Uber driver. Police were able to ID and track down suspects using victims’ snapshots of the car’s interior.

Sexual Predator Recognize by Police Officer Who Told Him to Move Car

During a recent press conference, Captain Jerry Sault, the CO of Athens-Clarke County’s Criminal Investigation Division, announced that 56-year-old Emerson Redd was taken into custody and charged with several counts of rape and attempted rape.

Sault stated that Redd’s arrest took 30 hours of hard work and involved state troopers, county deputies, and members of the sexual predator division.

According to Sault’s statements, the first incident involved Redd occurred on Friday night, at around 1:15 a.m. While cruising down the East Washington Street, Redd stopped in front of the Uptown Lounge after seeing a 21-year-old woman with her smartphone in hand.

Pretending to be the Uber ride she ordered, Redd invited the young woman in his car and drove away. Several minutes into the ride, Redd’s victim realized that something is amiss, as the sexual predator had no GPS nor any car markings to suggest that he’s an Uber driver.

After confronting Redd, the man allegedly touched her between the legs. The woman asked Redd to stop and open the passenger’s door. Redd complied and drove off.

An hour later, the individual found another victim, a 25-year-old University student roughly in the same area as his first victim.

After picking up the woman, Redd took off, still pretending to be an Uber Driver. When the woman confronted Redd about the missing GPS, the man allegedly secured the doors and raped her. He later released the woman.

Conclusion

Based on the victims’ testimonies, snapshots depicting the vehicle’s interior, and a police officer claiming to have warned the individual about illegal parking, the authorities were able to track down and arrest the individual.

A Texas teen had his car stolen and trashed after responding to a roadside accident. According to the authorities, the victim of the road accident witnessed by the Texas teen bolted off from his vehicle and stole the teen’s car. The suspect was later found dead, and the car totaled.

Texas Teen Said There Were Three People Inside the Vehicle

Jerry Ramirez, a high school senior and Royse City resident, will think twice before leaving the keys inside his car. Last week, Ramirez and his friends were involved in a rather peculiar incident.

According to the Texas teen, he and his buddies were cruising along a Royse City road when they’ve discovered a crashed pickup truck. Ramirez told the authorities that he and his friends got out of the car to provide assistance to the driver and the vehicle’s occupants.

The Texas teen learned that, at one point, the car’s driver, which appeared to be intoxicated, lost control of the car which hit a guardrail. While Ramirez waited for the deputies to arrive, the pickup truck’s driver bolted from the seat, ran to Ramirez’s Chrysler 300 car and drove off.

According to a Rockwall County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, the pickup truck’s driver, later identified as 29-year-old Delyn Stampf, led the authorities on a high-speed chase before disappearing.

Stampf was discovered several miles away after he crashed Ramirez’s car. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

All the pickup truck’s occupants were rushed to the hospital where they’ve received treatment for life-threatening injuries.

Conclusion

As for the Texas Teen, he’s now looking for a way to buy a new car, as his insurance doesn’t cover theft. The man even set up a GoFundMe account in an attempt to raise at least part of the sum needed to buy another car.

Last week, the New Jersey authorities arrested a 32-year-old state trooper who allegedly stopped two female drivers to get their phone numbers. According to the New Jersey state trooper’s arrest warrant, the suspect also falsified his daily reports and accessed confidential data on behalf of a friend.

New Jersey State Trooper Accused of Harassing Two Female Drivers

Based on the State Attorney General’s report, 32-year-old Eric Richardson, a volunteer coach, and a state trooper, frequently abused his position in order to seek relationships with two unknown female drivers.

Following Richardson’s indictment, the New Jersey state trooper has been barred from duty, and his entire activity scrutinized.

According to the official police report, in December 2016, while Richardson was on patrol in Gloucester Township, the state trooper flagged down a female driver and asked for her phone number. Furthermore, after the woman wrote down her number, Richardson allowed her to leave despite the female driver having an active arrest warrant for driving with a suspended license.

The woman also told the authorities that the state trooper took out his handcuffs and threatened to take her into custody if she refused to give him her phone number.

This wasn’t the first time Richardson abused his position to get dates. The authorities discovered that earlier that year, in November, the New Jersey state trooper pulled over a female driver for the same reason.

Despite the woman telling him that she’s in a relationship, Richardson persisted and ultimately got what he wanted. More than that, the police officer let the woman go although she was driving on driving on an expired permit.

Conclusion

 

Interestingly enough, the New Jersey state trooper would stop the same driver a second time to ask her if she changed her phone number and if she got her texts.

The Central Florida Fish and Wildlife agents are trying to identify one or more individuals who spray-painted a gopher turtle read and pour concrete over its shell and hind legs. Anyone with information about the turtle found on County Road 455, near Montverde, is asked to call the Wildlife Alert Hotline.

Vets declared that the gopher turtle, still considered an endangered species, will get back on its feet in no time.

Meanwhile, the Fish and Wildlife Services is reaching out to people with information about this regrettable incident. Anyone who has seen the individual or individuals is asked to contact the agency’s hotline. Tippers will remain anonymous and eligible for a cash reward.

The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office recently arrested a 26-year-old man into custody, cited as a person of interest in the brutal murder of a 20-year-old found bound in her apartment. According to the arrest warrant, the Seminole County man told the authorities that a masked woman killed his former roommate.

Seminole County Man Had Romantic Interests in Victim

A Seminole County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson declared on Saturday that 26-year-old Asgeirr Ulfr was arrested in connection with an Apopka home slaying.

According to the authorities, the events started to unfold last week when Ulfr dialed 911 and told the operator that he found 20-year-old Christina Daniella Scarr unresponsive in her bedroom.

When asked to describe the situation, Ulfr told the authorities that he swung by Scarr’s home to drop off a key when he found the door ajar. After entering the house, the individual claimed to see a woman wearing a leather mask leaving through the back door.

Once he stepped into the bedroom, he found Scarr lying on the bed. According to Ulfr’s description, Scarr’s face was entirely covered by duct tape, with both hands bound to the bed with the same tape, and feet tied with electrical cables. Ulfr also told the 911 operator that the assailant shot him in the leg before vanishing.

An investigation revealed that the man deliberately concealed several facts about Scarr and about what happened in her Apopka house.

According to the authorities, Scarr and Ulfr met at the beginning of January, while working at the Olive Garden restaurant and ended up becoming roommates. While some sources speculate that they might have been romantically involved, Scarr’s boyfriend told the authorities that they were only roommates and coworkers.

However, after a short while, Ulfr developed feelings for Scarr who was already committed. Allegedly, the Seminole County man installed an application on Scarr’s iPhone in order to track her movements.

Ulfr’s statement was entirely destroyed after the authorities found two weapons at his house and electric cables in his car’s trunk.

The man was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Five years have passed since Michelle Knight, one of three women kidnapped and locked in the basement by Ariel Castro, was rescued by the police. In the recent edition of ‘Dr. Phil’, the Cleveland House of Horror survivor, announced that she got married two years after her rescue and spent most of her time traveling around the world, helping people cope with traumas.

Cleveland House of Horror Victims Were Tortured, Raped, and Miscarried Several Times

The story of Lily Rose Lee aka Michelle Knight begins in August 2000, when the woman turned 20. Rose Lee recalls that, on that particular day, she was returning home when Ariel Castro drove by her and offered to take her to his house because he wanted to give a puppy to her son.

The woman agreed and got into Castro’s car. That was the last time someone saw Rose Lee. After kidnapping Rose Lee, Castro threw her in the basement, which he converted into a torture chamber.

Rose Lee recalls that there were two other women in there: Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, all abducted by Castro in similar circumstances.

Although Lee’s parents filed a missing person’s report, after just one year, her family and the authorities concluded that the woman must have run away from home and closed the case.

Rose Lee, DeJesus, and Barry would remain locked in Castro’s torture chamber for 11 years. In her first book, “Finding Me: A Decade of Darkness, a Life Reclaimed,” Lee wrote about the tortures she and the other victims were forced to endure.

Each day, Castro would rape them and hit them until they were unconscious. During the time spent in Castro’s Cleveland House of Horror, Rose Lee got pregnant four to five times but miscarried each time due to the physical abuse.

More than that, the woman recalls Castro helping one of the girls give birth and later disposing of the child.

In 2013, Amanda Berry managed to escape Castro’s dungeon and contact the authorities. The individual was taken into custody and sentenced to 1000 years in prison. Castro committed suicide the same year.
