According to KCCI-reporting, TV's JoEllen Browning and her husband were supposed to meet with a financial institution on the day she was fatally stabbed.

Apparently, in April, JoEllen emailed her husband about some discrepancies she had noticed in their bank accounts, and she asked him to contact the bank directly. The banker was reportedly going to tell the Brownings that Roy had taken out high-interest loans without JoEllen's knowledge and that money had been withdrawn from a joint account. This was reported by the Iowa City Press-Citizen. It has been reported that JoEllen had a $2 million retirement and life insurance policy.

The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports that Roy entered a guilty plea to one count of second-degree murder on Wednesday, October 12. He had previously pleaded not guilty in November 2019.

A 15-year-old girl and her 16-year-old boyfriend are suspected of stabbing to death the girl's father.

Lincoln Police responded to a stabbing call at an apartment near South 40th and Highway 2 at 4:06 p.m. on Monday, October 3, and found a male victim, according to a statement. "injuries consistent with being caused by a bladed instrument" were found on the victim.

Following the death of Jesse Gilmer, 70, the Lincoln Police Department issued a press release announcing the arrests of Sallie Gilmer, 15, and Isaac Honigschmidt, 16. Honigschmidt was arrested for aiding and abetting first-degree murder, and Sallie Gilmer was arrested for first-degree murder and use of a deadly weapon.

It is stated in the release that Gilmer initially told police that she returned home and found her father fatally stabbed. According to reports, police were able to make an arrest after questioning the teens and examining evidence found at their residence.

Lincoln police said at a press conference that the daughter had called to report finding her father dead.

KOLN-TV cites court documents showing that Gilmer and Honigschmidt are being treated as adults while facing criminal charges. It has been reported that Gilmer told police she was "stressed out from her parent's constant fighting and Jesse's mental abuse."

According to the evidence, the two began plotting the murder about a week before it took place.

According to Gilmer's account, Honigschmidt drove her home from school, where he allegedly stabbed her father, before returning her to school and returning her home, where she eventually called the police.

According to the court papers, Honigschmidt handed Gilmer the knife he used to commit the murder.Share YOUR Crazy Family Story With Us Now!!

October 15, 2022 10: Repeat Criminal Offender "Mom" Shoots 13-Year-Old Son | Fear Thy Family
A mother from Alabama is accused of shooting and killing her 13-year-old son while he was in his bed.

This week, a 53-year-old mother is accused of murdering her teenage son with a gun.

Mobile police responded to the 2000 block of Jones Lane on Monday, October 3, where they found a 13-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the back, as reported by WKRG-TV. It was reported that he was taken to a local hospital, where he later passed away.

WALA-TV reported that the victim was a man named Ja'mil Autry. It was initially reported that Ja'mil had been shot in the back, but investigators have since determined that the wound was actually sustained in the chest.

In an interview with WALA, Mobile County Assistant District Attorney Lauren Walsh said, "Evidence indicates that he would have been sleeping at the time."

WKRG filmed police escorting Agee out of her house as she yelled and sobbed at reporters who had come to interview her.

Police have been called to Agee's house 34 times in the last two years, and she reportedly has a criminal history dating back to the 1990s. Her bond was denied by the judge on Thursday, October 6th.

They (Agee's family) are, however, of the opinion that the shooting was "an unexpected event," WKRG reports, adding, "She loved him." The truth is, she did."

October 14, 2022 10: Man Strangles Babies In Hospital While GF Gives Birth | Fear Thy Family
While his pregnant girlfriend was in the hospital giving birth in Texas, a man allegedly strangled their two newborn children.

Authorities say an 18-year-old man entered a hospital's nursery and began choking infants.

A disturbance was reported at Odessa Regional Medical Center on Monday, October 3, according to the Odessa Police Department. People working in the hospital told police that a man "forced his way into the nursery and began assaulting patients and staff."

According to the police report, 18-year-old suspect Marcus McCowan Jr. "was aggressive toward officers, which led to a physical altercation."

McCowan allegedly tried to remove an officer’s gun from the holster.

According to McCowan's arrest affidavit, the incident took place at 6:30 p.m. while he was visiting his pregnant girlfriend at the hospital. Apparently, he went to the nursing station, grabbed an employee by the arm, and uttered a "unintelligible" phrase. The nurse reportedly asked him to leave, and he allegedly began running around the hallway.

A mother who was holding her newborn claims that McCowan stared at her, prompting her to move the baby. The report continues, saying that he ran at the nurses and shoved them as he tried to enter the nursery.

McCowan is accused of grabbing a baby he saw outside the nursery and taking it to the lactation room when he was denied entry. One of the nurses reportedly saw him put his hands around the infant's neck; however, the nurses were able to rescue the baby.

A respiratory therapist claims to have seen McCowan enter the nursery and begin strangling another infant. It was also said that he picked up the infant and began shaking her. The affidavit states that the child's skin tone changed to blue.

It appeared as though he was about to throw the infant to the ground after allegedly telling it to "die." The respiratory therapist successfully got McCowan down to the floor, where the kid's head was safe.

According to his booking records, McCowan was taken into custody on two counts of attempted capital murder, as well as criminal trespass, assault, attempted weapon takeaway from an officer, resisting arrest, and drug possession. "Numerous charges are pending," the Odessa Police Department said.

Two infants, two nurses, and an Odessa police officer were named as victims by the department.

October 13, 2022 10: 4 Relatives Cover-Up Abuse To Child | Fear Thy Family
Allegations of torturing a child and then covering up the injuries have been made against the child's father and three other relatives.

A report of child abuse led deputies from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office to a home on Waspnest Road in Wellford, South Carolina on September 2, according to a press release. Reports indicate that at the scene, authorities learned that a child victim had been hidden from a Department of Social Services representative who had previously visited the home on multiple occasions in the course of her investigation.

There were four adults and four children in the house, all of different ages, and the Sheriff's Office said the oldest child "had a noticeable limp and temporary tattoos covering multiple visible bruises on both legs."

The Sheriff's Office reports that the child's biological father, Ian Tatro, 25, the child's stepmother, Tenika Draper, 24, the child's stepgrandmother, Trina Rae Draper, 47, and the child's stepuncle, Ryan Dezotelle, 28 were all present at the residence.

Officials reportedly interviewed all four adults individually and discovered that the family had recently relocated from Vermont to South Carolina.

The Sheriff's Office claims the stepmother admitted to them that she had painted over the victim's legs with makeup when the Department of Social Services began making visits to their home.

The Sheriff's Office stated that initial investigations led to the arrest of the father and stepmother on charges of unlawful neglect of a child.

They reportedly took the four kids in the house into protective custody right away. The Sheriff's Office reported that the victim was taken to the hospital for treatment of severe bruising and blood loss.

A forensic physician reportedly concluded that the child "clearly met the criteria for a medical diagnosis of child torture" after conducting an examination. After being interviewed, the victim allegedly stated that all four family members had participated in the abuse.

The Sheriff's Office reported that during their search of the Waspnest Road residence, they discovered additional evidence corroboration of the victim's disclosure.

The Sheriff's Office stated that the father was charged with 13 counts of unlawful neglect of a child and 2 counts of obstruction. The stepgrandmother was charged with five counts of cruelty to children, three counts of obstruction, and one count of assault and battery, while the stepmother was charged with 11 counts of unlawful neglect of a child and three counts of obstruction. Last but not least, the Sheriff's Office reported that the victim's step-uncle had been charged with two counts of obstruction, three counts of assault and battery, and three counts of cruelty to children.

A court date for the suspects had been set for Friday, October 7.Share YOUR Crazy Family Story With Us Now!!

October 12, 2022 10: Mom allegedly tried to drown her "possesed" children in a creek. | Fear Thy Family
A 32-year-old mother was taken into custody after she allegedly tried to drown her "possesed" children in a creek.

Candice McElwee faces nine charges total, according to documents filed in Dauphin County Court. These include two counts of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault, and five counts of endangering the welfare of children.

Pennsylvania State Police Troopers were reportedly "attempting to locate a woman who was attempting to drown her children in a creek" at 9:16 a.m. on September 6.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, troopers located her with the four kids.

According to court documents cited by WHTM-TV, McElwee and her kids were spotted strolling along a highway at around 3 a.m. on the day in question. McElwee allegedly told an eyewitness that she was attempting to baptize her children when she ran out of gas. Having taken McElwee and her kids to the gas station, the witness returned them to their vehicle.

State Troopers found out McElwee and her four children hadn't been heard from in two days and had allegedly reason to suspect she was on meth and having health problems.

McElwee's kids range in age from 3 down to 10 and up to 12. The younger children were staying with McElwee, while the older children (ages 10 and 12) were reportedly found at a relative's house.

The witness claims she made these statements: "There's a problem that I'm having. I have a possessed child that I need to deal with, and I also need to "eliminate" one of my kids."

The child McElwee felt compelled to "eliminate" would be "resurrected and all will be good again," according to reports.

McElwee allegedly tried to "baptize" the kids by submerging their heads and threatening, "I'll drown my own daughter."

McElwee also allegedly attempted to bury her children in a shallow grave using dirt and rocks. There were rumors that she warned of an impending flood and called the children's father the "son of the devil."

McElwee has a $750,000 bond and is currently being held in the Dauphin County Jail.Share YOUR Crazy Family Story With Us Now!!
