Intoxicated South Carolina Man Threatened to Have Cop Fired

According to a Spartanburg Police Department spokesperson, the incident, which occurred on the 22nd of June, a little after midnight, involved a 49-year-old intoxicated South Carolina man who became physical after being denied alcohol.

The waitress assaulted by suspect William Banks at the Wild Wing Café told the authorities that the individual went bonkers after she walked up to his table and asked him to pay the bill.

Instead of leaving the restaurant, Banks, who was already soused, ordered another drink. The waitress decided not to honor Banks’ order. When she approached the man to tell him that he isn’t going to get any drink, the man became violent.

Allegedly, the intoxicated South Carolina man uttered profanities toward the waitress and demanded to speak to the manager. When one of the restaurant’s manager arrived, Banks told her to fetch another drink.

The manager also refused to serve Banks. Minutes later, Banks got up front the table and punched the waitress in the head. He also threatened to shoot everyone inside the restaurant if he doesn’t get a drink.

According to the authorities, the soused aggressor was removed by force by the son of a staff member.

Conclusion

When the authorities arrived, Banks was still hanging outside the restaurant. The man was arrested and taken to the police station for processing.

Allegedly, during the trip to the police station, Banks turned to the police officer who handcuffed him and said that he’s going to lose his job because he knows important people there.

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.

Texas Father of Girl Disappeared in the 80s Ignored by Authorities

June 26, 2018 By Cristopher Hall Leave a Comment

pay phone

Texas father said his daughter disappeared after using a pay phone to call him.

Tim Miller, a Texas father and the founder of a search and recovery non-profit organization, declared that he told the authorities countless times who his daughter’s killer was but was ignored. Miller’s organization helped authorities recover and identify nearly 200 human remains.

Texas Father Wants Recently Sentenced Man To Confessed Killing His Daughter

On the 10th of September 1984, Laura Miller, Tim’s only daughter vanished without a trail. All the authorities’ efforts to track down the missing woman failed. The only piece of reliable intel they could recover is that Laura used a League City payphone to contact her parents.

Ever since Laura vanished from home, Tim spends his every waking moment searching for his child. After a little digging up, the man found a lead.

At that time, the Texas father told the authorities that months before Laura vanished, another woman was reported missing after using the same pay phone.

Curiously enough, in April 1984, a couple living in the area called the authorities after their dog uncovered a human skull.

The authorities established that the skull could have belonged to Heidi Fye, a local waitress. Fye was the last person to go missing in that area before Miller’s daughter.

Tim Miller, who is the founder of Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery, recalls how his attempts at uncovering the truth fell on deaf ears.

A breakthrough was announced two years later after the authorities found Fye’s skeletal remains placed against a tree.  The investigation led the authorities to Clyde Hendrick, an ex-con who lived in the area where all the women went missing.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, three more decades would pass until the authorities arrested Hendrick. From behind bars, the accused now calls out to anyone who can hear him.

Through his attorney, Hendrick declared that Miller’s obsession with finding his daughter’s killer landed an innocent man behind bars.

The Texas father declared that he would not rest until Hendricks confessed to killing his daughter, Fye, and the other women.

June 25, 2018 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

bottled water

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.

In the series ‘What Could Possibly Go Wrong on a First Date?’ we give you the story of a Missouri man who was left without pants and shoes after a run-in with a thief.

According to the man’s testimony, at the beginning of May, he met Chloe Garner over a dating application. They’ve agreed to go on a romantic date. And so, on the 25th of May, they’ve met each other for the very first time in a Maplewood. Little did the man know that his first date would go sideways.

The individual told the authorities that as he strolled with Garner through the park, they were approached by what appeared to be a homeless person. The suspect, later identified as Keyon Owens, asked Garner and her date for some spare change.

Allegedly, Owens left after both told him that they don’t have any money. Or so they thought.

The Missouri man declared that Owens returned after a couple of minutes with a handgun. This time, the robber demanded clothing and valuables. As a result, the man had to give up his pants and his shoes, while Garner gave him an undisclosed sum and her cellphone.

Conclusion

After taking their stuff, Owens left. Interestingly enough, Garner disappeared at the same as Owens. The authorities determined that Garner was in cahoots with Owens. More than that, during the questioning, the woman said that she came with Owens to the park before her date to stage the heist.

It’s not safe out there tonight. There are various people among different orgs who have me. My plan is to hurt them.

In another instance, the New York man used a voice-altering device to scare off his ex-girlfriend’s sorority. The menacing message was short: “I’m in the house.”

The Pennsylvania couple placed the baby’s body in a similar plastic container.

In March, 27-year-old Samantha M. Trump and 25-year-old Shaun C. Oxenreider, a Pennsylvania couple, would be arrested in connection with the death of 6-month-old Harper Trump. On Wednesday, Berks County DA announced that the couple had been indicted on multiple murder charges stemming from the infant’s death.

Pennsylvania Couple Squeezed Baby’s Body and Hit Her with a Blunt Instrument, Coroner Declared

At the beginning of the week, Dr. Neil A. Hoffman, a forensic pathologist at the Reading Hospital, published the result of baby Trump’s post-mortem examination. According to Hoffman, the infant’s cause of death was blunt trauma to the base of the skull and prolonged physical abuse.

More than that, the forensic pathologist said that the baby had several fractured ribs and a broken forearm. Based on the pattern of the injuries, the trauma occurred a week before the child’s death.

On Wednesday, the Pennsylvania couple was charged with concealing the death of a child, abuse of a cadaver, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment.

The couple’s deed was discovered after a social service worker contacted the police in connection with Harper’s death. Several days before being taken into custody, the Pennsylvania couple told a member of the family that their child passed away and that they couldn’t handle the funeral expenses.

Worried about the safety of baby Trump, the family member contacted social services. Unable to find any records of Harper Trump’s death, the caseworker called the Pennsylvania couple to ask for a death certificate. Moreover, Oxenreider told the caseworker that they intended to stay in New Jersey until Easter.

The police went to the couple’s house to inquire about the child’s death. Neither Oxenreider nor Trump could produce a death certificate. A house search revealed that the couple concealed the child’s body inside a crawlspace. The authorities said that cadaver has inside a sealed plastic bag covered by cat litter and placed in a big plastic container.

Minnesota Teen Gets Head Stuck In Oversized Tailpipe Winstock Music Festival

June 18, 2018 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

tailpipe

The Minnesota woman wanted to have a picture with the oversized tailpipe.

Because a summer music festival is the best occasion to show off your ‘talents,’ we give you the fascinated story of Kaitlyn Strom, a 19-year-old girl from Litchfield. Nicknamed The Minnesota Tailpipe Girl, Kaitlyn went to Hell and back again after getting her head stuck in an oversized tailpipe.

Firefighters Had to Use a Power Saw to Cut the Oversized Tailpipe

If you’re wondering what teens are up to this days, here’s one for the history books. On Friday, on the very first day of Winstead’s Winstock Music Festival, the Fire Department was called to help a person in need. Little did they know that they will end up helping someone who firmly believes that YOLO is a legit way of living.

Here’s what happened. Ms. Strom was attending the Winsted music festival for the first time. At one point during the festivities, Strom left her group to go on an adventure. That’s when she saw a monstrous pickup truck with an equally impressive tailpipe.

And because the only reasonable thing you could do when admiring a beautiful car is to put your head through the exhaust pipe, that’s what Strom did.

Kaitlyn later told a reporter that the idea of putting her head through the oversized tailpipe sounded like fun. Getting her head into the exhaust was easy, but getting it out was an entirely different story, the Litchfield teenager added.

Conclusion

Well, to make a long story short, a partygoer called the Fire Department after Strom got her head stuck in the oversized tailpipe. One power saw, and 45 minutes later, the Minnesota teenager was freed. And if you thought that was the end of it, then sorry to disappoint you.

Strom insisted on having her picture taken with the fireman and the oversized tailpipe.
