Tot Boy Found Dead in "Fabulous Vegas" Suitcase: WHO IS HE?

Investigators say the little boy found inside a suitcase in rural Indiana died from an electrolyte imbalance. The medical examiner says that the imbalance was most likely due to a “viral gastroenteritis” caused by excessive vomiting or diarrhea. State police are still working to identify the boy, believed to be about 5-year-old.  Toxicology tests came back negative and the boy had no severe injuries. Police do not believe the boy was alive when he was placed inside the suitcase.  A mushroom hunter found the hardshell suitcase,  which features the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign.  The little boy is described as just under 4 feet tall and about 40 pounds,  with a slim build and a short haircut. Indiana State Police have set up a national tip line at (888) 437-6432.   Joining Nancy Grace today: Kathryn Marsh - Special Victims Liaison for the State’s Attorney's Office (Charles County, MD), Co-Founder: Right Response Consulting, "No Grey Zone" Podcast", RightResponseConsulting.com, Instagram/Twitter: @nogreyzoneRRC   Dr. Alan Blotcky PhD - Clinical and Forensic Psychologist (Birmingham, AL) specializing in Criminal, Child Custody and Abuse, Clinical Associate Professor at University of Alabama at Birmingham   Karen L.

Yoga Teacher On the Run After She Stalks, Murders 'Other Woman'

An international manhunt is underway for the suspected killer of professional cyclist Moriah “Mo” Wilson.  Authorities say 34-year-old yoga teacher, Kaitlyn Armstrong, shot and killed 25-year-old Wilson in a jealous fit of rage, allegedly for having an affair with Armstrong's boyfriend, Colin Strickland, who is also a top-rated professional cyclist.  On the night she was killed, Wilson was in Austin, Texas preparing for a race.  Police say she went on a date with Strickland, first swimming with him at a popular pool and then having dinner together.  After the date, Wilson returned to the house where she was staying.  Minutes later, she was shot dead. Police say Armstrong knew about the date because she'd been stalking Wilson. Ring camera video shows the suspect's car outside the house around the time of the murder.  Strickland says he's cooperating in the search for Armstrong.  Armstrong's family says she is innocent.

19 Fourth Graders, 2 Teachers Gunned Down Dead: WHY?

Suspected shooter Salvador Ramos shot his grandmother before his rampage at Robb Elementary School. Nineteen students and at least two adults were killed. The grandmother is reportedly in critical condition.  At about 11:30 a.m., police received a report that a pickup truck — apparently driven by Ramos — had crashed into a ditch outside the school. Ramos got out of the vehicle with a long rifle and a backpack and wearing a tactical vest. Ultimately, Ramos was engaged by two other officers from the Uvalde Police Department but was able to gain entry into the school and began shooting.    Joining Nancy Grace Today: Kathleen Murphy - Family Attorney (North Carolina), NCDomesticlaw.com,  Twitter: @RalDivorceLaw  Caryn Stark - NYC Psychologist, CarynStark.com, Twitter: @carynpsych, Facebook: "Caryn Stark"   Joe Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan" David Katz - Former Senior Special Agent with the DEA, Founder and CEO: Global Security Group, Inc., Active Shooter Response Expert, Tony Plohetski - Investigative Reporter, Austin American-Statesman and KVUE (Austin, TX), Twitter: @tplohetski  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amber Heard's Hit Parade of Johnny Depp's Exes on the Stand

Thursday's list of witnesses in the Amber Heard-Johnny Depp defamation battle was a hit parade of Depp's exes: an ex-girlfriend, an ex-friend, an ex-manager and an ex-Disney rep.  Actress Ellen Barkin testifies about her sexual relationship with Depp in the mid-1990s. She said that the Depp was “jealous” and “controlling” and had once thrown a wine bottle across a Las Vegas hotel room while fighting with a group of people.  Disney executive Tina Newman testified that she had never heard anyone inside Disney say that Heard’s Washington Post op-ed was the reason behind Depp’s loss of his role as Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.  It's Ellen Barkin’s testimony that could be key.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Darryl Cohen - Former Assistant District Attorney, Fulton County, Georgia, Defense Attorney, Cohen, Cooper, Estep, & Allen, LLC, www.ccealaw.com  Dr. Charles Heller - Clinical and Forensic Psychologist Specializing in Domestic Violence; Chief Forensic Consultant: Rockland County (New York) Forensic Mental Health Unit, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences  John Guard - Chief Deputy – Pitt County Sheriff’s Office (Greenville, NC), Specializes in Investigating Domestic Violence Cases Kayla Brantley - Reporter, DailyMail.com, Twitter: @_KaylaBrantley, Instagram: @KaylaBrantley  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WARNING PARENTS! Girl, 10, DIES During Dangerous TikTok Challenge

A Philadelphia family is suing TikTok after their 10-year-old daughter dies trying a video challenge posted on the social media site. The challenge, called the 'blackout challenge," encourages users to asphyxiate themselves, pass out and regain consciousness, while on camera. Nylah Anderson was found unconscious in her mom's bedroom closet hung from a purse strap. Tawainna Anderson, Nylah's mother, says the video platform is negligent and has a 'defective design. Nylah saw the challenge on the app's 'For You' page. According to the lawsuit, the company's algorithm sent the video to the 10-year-old.  Last year, a 12-year-old boy died trying the same challenge. He used a shoelace to choke himself.  Anderson says TikTok is aware of the dangers but has made no efforts to change.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Jeffrey Goodman - Victim's Family Attorney, Partner, Saltz Mongeluzzi & Bendesky, P.C.

Blood, Sex Staging, Fiber Evidence: Chilling New Details in Murder of Two Delphi Little Girls

New details were released in the murder investigation of slain Delphi girls, Abby Williams and Libby German. The Murder Sheet podcast made public a redacted search warrant submitted by an FBI agent explaining why there was probable cause to search the property of Ron Logan. The girls' bodies were found on Logan's property. The court documents state that “a large amount of blood was lost by the victims at the crime scene,” meaning the killer would have been covered in blood. The warrant also states the victims didn’t have any defense wounds, but some articles of clothing were taken from them and removed from the scene. The agent suggests the scene had been staged.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Kevin Greenlee - Attorney (Indianapolis, IN), Co-Host, Murder Sheet Podcast,  Facebook: "Murder Sheet Discussion Group" Dr. Jorey Krawczyn - Psychologist (Panama City Beach, FL), Adjunct Faculty with Saint Leo University; Research Consultant with Blue Wall Institute, Author: "Operation S.O.S. - Practical Recommendations to Help “Stop Officer Suicide”, bw-institute.com ' Sheryl McCollum - Forensic Expert & Cold Case Investigative Research Institute Founder, ColdCaseCrimes.org, Twitter: @ColdCaseTips Joe Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan" Áine Cain - Senior Reporter, Business Insider (Indianapolis, IN), Co-creator: "Murder Sheet" and "Mystery to Me" Podcasts, Facebook: "Murder Sheet Discussion Group" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

3-year-old Dylan Ehler Missing From Grandma's, Boots Found in Nearby Waterway

Three-year-old Dylan Ehler vanished from his grandmother’s backyard on May 6, 2020.  His grandmother says she turned her back for a few seconds to deal with the family dog. When she turned back around, Dylan was gone.  Dylan’s rubber boots were discovered six hours after his disappearance, submerged in a creek nearby. Despite a six-day official search and hundreds of volunteer searchers, that's the only evidence found.  The family, in the meantime, began receiving ransom demands.

DEADLY "THREE-HOUR-CRUISE"

Linda Carman and her son, Nathan, set out on a night fishing trip. They don't return. A week later, Nathan Carman is found in an inflatable life raft, but his mother is nowhere to be found. Now, police say Carman killed his mother and sank the boat intentionally for a $7,000,000 inheritance. Carman is accused of enlarging holes in the boat, "Chicken Pox," to ensure it sank. The boat's insurer National Liability and Fire Insurance Co., asked a court to deny any insurance claim on the boat following an investigation that revealed Nathan compromised it before the accident.  The insurer's report states that in "removing his boat’s trim tabs hours before departing on its final voyage, Carman not only failed to properly seal four thruhull holes he thereby opened at the transom’s waterline, but two recent depositions establish Carman enlarged those four holes.”   This is not the first time Carmen has been eyed for a murder of a family member: He was reportedly named a person of interest in the 2014 shooting death of his wealthy grandfather, John Chakalos. Warrants say that Carman was the last person to see his grandfather alive before the 87-year-old man was found shot to death in his Windsor, Connecticut, home. Nathan reportedly purchased a gun that was the same caliber as the weapon that killed his grandfather, a multimillionaire developer, and declined to let police know this during questioning. He also declined to take a polygraph test. Joining Nancy Grace Today: Andrew Norris - Maritime Attorney and Consultant, Tradewind Maritime Services Inc.

Affluenza Teen Busted Again, Threatens to Bite off Finger, Walks Free After Three Rape Claims

Bowen Turner is back behind bars. The South Carolina man accused of three rapes was arrested for disorderly conduct and given bail, but Turner denied bail on another charge stemming from a probation violation. Turner, 19, was arrested on Mother’s Day and after his arrest, he allegedly called a female jailer the "B-word" and tried to bite off the finger of another. This latest incident happens after a controversial sentence was handed down in April. Orangeburg County Court Judge Markley Dennis sentenced Turner to five years of probation as part of a plea for assaulting a woman in 2019. The charge was reduced from an earlier charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, even though the victim was willing to testify and it was the third sexual assault accusation against Turner in less than two years.  Ankle monitoring logs show that Turner violated his previous bond dozens of times, visiting golf courses, restaurants, shopping centers and even going out of state.

Jailhouse Lovers Hole up in Hotel With Take Out, Sex Toys

Ex-jailer Vicky White commits suicide as cops close in on her and fellow fugitive Casey White.  Authorities tracked down the Alabama outlaws to a motel in Evansville, Indiana. The pair attempted to flee when they realized police had found them, which led to a chase.   A newly released  911 call appears to contain the last words of Vicky White. As sirens screech in the background,  a woman’s voice says, "Airbags are going off! Let’s get out and run! We never should have left the hotel."     Dashcam video also reveals that when the vehicle rolled over, police could see that Vicky was holding a gun to her head. “She still has the gun in her hands,” one officer says in the video. “Finger’s on the trigger.”   Vicky White was hospitalized and died hours later. Casey White was extradited back to Alabama, where he has been charged with first-degree escape. He is already facing capital murder charges in connection with the death of Connie Ridgeway in 2015.

ON THE RUN: Blonde Warden "Missing" With Killer, New Details

New details in the search for prison escapee Casey White and the female prison employee who helped set him free.  An attorney for the escaped convict says White is mentally ill and likely off his meds — and that’s not a good thing. Dale Bryant tells AL.com that “Casey’s an all right guy” when he’s taking his meds, but when White is off his medication, Bryant says "that’s when things become a problem.’  White, 38, slipped out of an Alabama county jail with the help of rogue jailer Vicky White, 57 — no relation — in an obviously carefully planned escape. No one even knew they were gone for six hours, and by that time they’d already abandoned their getaway car in Tennessee.  Rewards for information leading to Casey White and Vicky White have reached a total of $25,000 — $15,000 for the inmate and $10,000 for the jailer.

15 Years After Maddie McCann Disappears, Suspect Named

German national Christian Brueckner has been named a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann.

JonBenet Dad Pushes For More DNA Testing in Daughter's Murder

JonBenet Ramsey, 6, was reported missing by her mother the day after Christmas 1996. Patsy Ramsey reported finding a ransom note that demanded more than $118,000. John Ramsey discovered the girl’s body the same day in the basement of the family’s home in Boulder, Colorado. Investigators determined that JonBenet was strangled and had an 8.5-inch fracture to her skull. No one has been charged in connection with the killing. John Ramsey spoke at the CrimeCon 2022 convention in Las Vegas, where he called for an independent agency to test DNA from his daughter JonBenét Ramsey’s case. Ramsey said he wanted the independent agency to conduct the DNA analysis instead of the Boulder Police Department, whom Ramsey says botched the investigation.

"Supermom" Sherri Papini Admits to Kidnapping Hoax

Sherri Papini admits her 2016 kidnapping was a hoax. The 39-year-old mom was reported missing on November 2,  and told investigators when she was found 22 days later that a pair of Hispanic women kidnapped her at gunpoint.  Papini said her kidnappers abused her and then shoved her out of a car. Papini  was emaciated, her hair was cut shorter, and she had cuts and bruises all over her body, but prosecutors said she caused the injuries herself. The case was broken in 2020 when DNA led investigators to Papini’s ex, who told them she had been with him the entire time.  Federal prosecutors charged Papini with 34 counts of mail fraud and one count of making false statements. Papini accepted a plea deal, but didn't explain why she created an elaborate kidnapping hoax, although she apologized for her actions.  Since her arrest, Papini's husband has started divorce proceedings.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Sheriff Michael Johnson - Shasta County Sheriff's Office Matthew Mangino - Attorney, Former District Attorney (Lawrence County), Former Parole Board Member, Author: "The Executioner's Toll: The Crimes, Arrests, Trials, Appeals, Last Meals, Final Words and Executions of 46 Persons in the United States"   Dr. Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist,  www.angelaarnoldmd.com, Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women, Former Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynecology: Emory University, Former Medical Director of The Psychiatric Ob-Gyn Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital  Bill Garcia - Private Investigator, "Bill Garcia Investigative Services", Part of Search Team for Sherri Papini  Kristy Mazurek - Emmy Award-winning Investigative Reporter, President: "Successful Strategies"  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

High Velocity Spatter Place Lawyer Alex Murdaugh At Grisly Murder?

High-velocity spatter found on a shirt worn by disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh may show he was present at the time his wife and son were murdered. FITSNews is reporting their inside sources are saying that multiple forensics experts, including one at an out-of-state lab, confirm the preliminary analysis of a significant amount of high-velocity spatter from at least one of their bodies. Alex Murdaugh has since been charged with multiple financial crimes and faces numerous civil lawsuits, since Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were found dead. He's even been named a person of interest, but not a suspect, so far. Sources close to the investigation told FITSNews that multiple shots from a high-powered rifle killed Maggie Murdaugh, including one that went through her back and another into the back of her head as she was face down on the ground. Paul Murdaugh’s death certificate said the he had two shotgun wounds: one to the head and the other to the chest. At least one of the guns used in the murders belonged to the Murdaugh family. Alex Murdaugh’s attorney has repeatedly said that his client’s whereabouts are “accounted for completely.” Joining Nancy Grace Today: Susan E.
