Not only has 27-year-old Danueal Drayton been charged with sexually assaulting and attempting to kill a woman in Los Angeles County, he has also been accused of the murder of Samantha Stewart in Queens, and is now connected to an unsolved rape case in Brooklyn. Police are working to investigate whether he was involved in up to seven murder cases nationwide. Drayton currently faces charges of attempted murder, forcible rape, false imprisonment by violence, and sexual penetration by foreign object. Attorneys for Nathan Carman's aunts are now attempting to confirm if a deleted Facebook account which bears the quote "my fam is only alive cuz I allow it" belongs to Carman. Nathan's aunts allege that he killed his grandfather in December 2013 and that he was responsible for the death of his mother who was lost at sea while on a fishing trip with Carman in 2016. Police held a press conference this afternoon in the case of still-missing Mollie Tibbetts, a young woman from Iowa who mysteriously vanished almost two weeks ago. Investigators are continuing to pursue hundreds of leads they've received since her disappearance. The Grandson of a former Virginia governor will face no prison time after being accused of raping a fellow University of Virginia student earlier this year. Stephen Dalton Baril had his charges reduced from felony rape and felony sodomy to misdemeanor sexual battery and felony unlawful wounding after entering an Alford plea, which acknowledges the presence of sufficient evidence without admitting guilt.
