Missing persons/homicide cases

Two tragic cases have unfolded: the mysterious disappearance of Dee Warner and the tragic killing of Connor in Las Vegas, demonstrating the complexities and dangers present in missing persons and homicide investigations.

Mysterious disappearance of Dee Warner

Dee Warner's case unraveled over time, from a perplexing disappearance to a grief-stricken discovery.

Dee Warner, a 53-year-old wife and mother, went missing after last being seen dropping her daughter off at school and planning to meet her husband Dale in April 2021.

On April 25th, 2021, Dee Warner, a 53-year-old woman from Lenawee County, Michigan, vanished after being seen dropping her daughter at school. She was supposed to meet her husband, Dale Warner, that day.

Authorities initially believed Dee may have simply left on her own, but suspicion soon turned to Dale after evidence of a domestic dispute and potential abuse surfaced.

Initially, Dale Warner and his lawyers insisted that Dee had left voluntarily, a behavior they claimed she had exhibited previously. However, no activity on Dee's cell phone or bank accounts led to doubts about this theory. Moreover, evidence of arguments and reported physical abuse by Dale came to light.

In November 2023, Dale was arrested for Dee's murder, and in August 2024, human remains believed to be Dee's were discovered on his property, hidden in a large gas tank.

In November 2023, Dale Warner was arrested, and almost a year later, on August 16th, human remains were found hidden in a large gas tank on Dale's property, raising hopes and fears among Dee's friends and family. While an autopsy couldn't immediately confirm the identity due to the condition of the remains, those close to Dee felt certain they were hers.

Tragic killing of Connor in Las Vegas robbery plot

The case of Connor's killing in Las Vegas exposes a disturbing plot fueled by social media and financial desperation.

Connor, a 19-year-old, was lured to an apartment complex in Las Vegas by a woman he met on Instagram, where he was then ambushed and shot by a group attempting to rob him.

Connor, an unsuspecting 19-year-old, fell victim to a robbery scheme after being enticed to a Las Vegas apartment by a woman he connected with on Instagram. After the meetup, he was savagely attacked and shot in the head.

The suspects, including Nathan, Skylar, and Skylar's sister Emily, ha ...

Crimes against children

Two disturbing cases involving crimes against children are stirring public concern, as the legal system grapples with challenges and disturbing details come to light.

Alexi Treviso, a 19-year-old nursing student from New Mexico, has been accused of a heinous crime involving her newborn child. She was charged after allegedly suffocating her baby and disposing of the body in a hospital trash can. The trial was set to proceed but has experienced delays due to legal challenges regarding doctor-patient privilege.

Treviso's defense team successfully argued that her statements made to police and medical staff should be safeguarded by the privacy standards guaranteed under doctor-patient privilege. Consequently, the prosecution is appealing the judge’s decision as the case grinds to a halt, allowing Treviso to continue her studies while she awaits court proceedings.

The defense highlighted that Alexi was not provided her rights upon the police’s arrival at the hospital and have since filed a motion to suppress the evidence gathered. The tensions between the defense and prosecution center on whether a confession reportedly made by Alexi to a doctor is admissible in court and whether HIPAA protections apply in situations where criminal investigations are ongoing.

As the New Mexico Supreme Court considers the prosecution's appeal, all proceedings remain in limbo, with the original trial date annulled.

Disturbing details emerge in Madeline Soto case

A Pattern of Abuse and Questionable Behaviors

Tragic details continue to surface in regards to Madeline Soto, a 13-year-old who was allegedly sexually abused and murdered by her mother's boyfriend, Stefan Stern. After the discovery of explicit material indicating a history of sexual abuse on Stern’s phone, he was arrested for Madeline's death. However, suspicions have arisen that Madeline's mother, Jen Soto, may have been complicit or at least knowledgeable about the abuse, casting her in a questionable light.

Stefan remains the sole arrestee, but audio clips from Jen’s police interview have surfaced, revealing Madeline and Stefan sharing a bed and other troubling sleeping arrangements. Jen's recounting of events suggests a lack of urgency on the day of Madeline’s disappearance, despite odd circumstances that should have raised concern.

The investigation revealed concerni ...
