Crime Wire Weekly

In Baton Rouge LA,  A City Hall bathroom becomes a crime scene, Gypsy Rose Blanchard says her partner died of an overdose on his birthday, and Tennessee’s botched execution of Christa Pike leaves lawyers saying she may never recover.  Gypsy Rose Blanchard tells reporters she believes Ken Urker overdosed in Raceland, Louisiana, on his 34th birthday. Deputies found drug paraphernalia and a handgun at the scene. The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office says it has found no evidence of foul play, and toxicology is still pending.

Christa Pike’s lawyers say the Tennessee death-row inmate may never fully recover after a failed lethal injection in which multiple needles were used and two doses of pentobarbital did not stop her heart. She remained critically ill under guard. Governor Bill Lee paused the rest of the year’s executions. An Iowa substitute teacher, Stephanie Mullaley, is fired after an administrative law judge finds she offered students extra credit for cash donations to a personal GoFundMe tied to her education goals.

She is later denied unemployment. Lustful Lawbreakers follows a construction worker whose workplace fantasy crosses the line. International Indiscretions tracks a cocaine case in which the evidence on the shelf turns out to be flour. A self-described demonologist posts private information online and learns the internet does not forget. President Trump approves a U.S. Army firing squad for Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people and wounding 32 in the 2009 Fort Hood attack.

 It would be the military’s first execution by firing squad since World War II. True Crime Time Machine goes back to October 9, 2002, and the execution of Aileen Wuornos, the Florida serial killer whose final statements still fuel the debate over the death penalty. DNA confirms remains found by a fisherman along Brushy Creek in Montague County, Texas, belong to Fort Worth flight attendant Rana Nofal Soluri, missing since March 2025. Her former roommate, Dennis Day, is already charged with murder.

Overtime: a Georgia man walks out on a Red Lobster bill, and a New York man’s death on the subway is as shocking as the video that followed it.

A Pierre Part man is accused of using AI to generate sexual deepfakes of a coworker — then showing them to her. In Georgia, a missing DoorDash mom is identified after her family tracks her phone and finds her dismembered remains. And in Ohio, former American Idol contestant and worship pastor Caleb Flynn’s murder trial hits a turning point as jurors hear his police interview and both sides rest and that’s only the start of this week’s crime news craziness.

This week on the CWW Jim and KJ bring you the crime news headlines and they start with a California high school football booster treasurer accused of draining more than $411,000 from the team that trusted her with the books—money prosecutors say went to a mortgage and credit cards while she sent the board cooked reports. In Massachusetts, three jurors from the Lindsay Clancy trial break their silence after the mistrial, walking through the 11–1 deadlock, the holdout who admitted reasonable doubt and still would not vote not guilty by reason of insanity, and the evidence that left the rest of the panel convinced she had snapped. In St. Petersburg, a woman pumping gas is set on fire by a stranger after she refuses to hand over cash; Eleanor Crawford now faces attempted murder and arson. And in Chicago, a 15-year-old girl is charged with first-degree murder after police say she and two others pushed Kyle Bickham from a moving CTA Red Line train.

We also take you inside You Can See Everything, the surprise documentary that followed Elizabeth Holmes in the weeks before she reported to prison—and the questions it raises about whether the Theranos founder has changed at all. A retired Pennsylvania priest is accused of stealing about $740,000 from churches, parishioners, and his own mother. Kim Zolciak’s 15-year-old son, KJ Biermann, is in custody on serious sex-crime charges his family says he denies. In North Carolina, a state trooper is indicted for first-degree murder after a love triangle with another cop ends with a sheriff’s captain dead in a front yard. A Swamp People star is booked in Louisiana on felony theft after a raid in Bayou Blue. And a former Colorado crime-lab analyst is sentenced to 10 years for manipulating DNA data in hundreds of cases—work that helped vacate at least one murder conviction and left sexual-assault files gutted.

In Overtime: a Baton Rouge woman’s mugshot takes off online; the hunt continues in California for a father and his 14-year-old daughter after a newborn is found dead on a roadside; Georgia police want a man they say snuck into a stranger’s hot tub, spent more than 10 minutes “intensely interacting” with a rubber duck, and rode off with a pile of towels; and in Sacramento, a woman who reported months of stalking—AirTags, a copied apartment key, a restraining order—is gunned down in a parking lot by the man who would not stop.

Theft, fire, a train platform, a jury room that never quite closed, and a few stories that sound made up until the charging documents land. A New episode of crime wire weekly is up now!

This week on the CWW the crime news headlines start with a therapist who was booked after allegedly sleeping with a rehab patient. In Massachusetts, the Lindsay Clancy murder trial collapses into a mistrial after the jury deadlocks on whether she was criminally responsible for killing her three children and in a brand new segment we are calling Any Given Saturday we are giving you the latest in what occurred during week one college football in this Kickoff crime report.

In West Virginia A high school principal is charged after a recording pen turns up in a girls’ locker room. In Illinois, prosecutors say a mother who had been “very invested” in the Lindsey Clancy trial texted friends about the case just hours before she murdered her 2-year-old son. In Missouri foster mom who sent a child to Texas in exchange for a monkey is back in Arrested.  In Pinellas County’s “Crooked Jess” lives up to the nickname after she takes undercover buy money and vanishes. And a Florida man gets taken in an engagement scam that goes from proposal to nightmare.
The True Crime Time Machine marks a quarter century since 9/11 and we close this one out with backlash hitting a podcaster who bet on the LindseyClancy verdict.

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York is caught answering an undercover prostitution ad, showing up at an Ohio mobile-home park with cash and a wedding ring still on his finger. Former University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling tearfully pleads guilty after her infant son is found wrapped in a towel inside a trash bag in her closet. In Livingston Parish, a local bakery is cooking up more than cakes. Counselor Karen Solomon—co-founder of a first-responder mental-health group—vanishes after her officer husband is found dead; days later her body is discovered with a gun nearby in what police call a tragic murder-suicide.
A woman who sued Kenny Chesney for $300,000 loses her appeal. Iryna Zarutska’s family files a lawsuit. Then we rewind to August 2003 and the Pizza Bomber case: Brian Wells walks into an Erie, Pennsylvania bank with an explosive collar around his neck, follows a scavenger-hunt note, and dies on live television when the device detonates before the bomb squad arrives.
Ex-cop Sean Grayson dies in prison. A man is charged after a crane grapple takes a co-worker’s head. Five people are shot in Washington. In overtime: a killer uses DoorDash to get the murder weapon, a husband tells police his wife died of postpartum depression, a mom helps her son clean up a murder scene, and a Penn State fraternity is caught forcing pledges to cut up cocaine. From NFL boardrooms to a Louisiana bakery to one of the FBI’s strangest unsolved-feeling plots that actually got solved—this is the week that refused to stay quiet.

KJ and Jim open with major developments in the search for missing Baton Rouge teen Ja’Derrius Minniweather, as police recover remains from a landfill they believe belong to the 15-year-old. Then we track the latest delay in the Madison Brooks trial, another unexpected twist in the Alex Murdaugh saga as his retrial gets a change of venue, and the chilling case of a Florida sheriff’s deputy accused of kidnapping and killing his ex-girlfriend.

From there, the stories only get stranger. An Iowa man faces serious federal charges for selling protected Alabama turtles. A Nebraska wedding planner is SA’ed just before the ceremony. A 45-day manhunt for murder suspect Isabelle Johnson finally ends. A man literally smashes a hole through an apartment closet wall to attack a teenager. And a North Carolina man turns a Morgan Wallen concert into a nightmare by urinating on an entire family. We also break down the disturbing case of a couple caught bonding out women… only to traffick them. In Overtime:

• True Crime Time Machine takes us back to the deadly Ruby Ridge standoff
