    Crime Wire Weekly 10/23/26 | Laken Snelling Sentenced, Chainsaw Carnage, & the People’s Court

    We open with a man extradited to Louisiana after an investigation into the online exploitation of an Acadiana child—including allegations he tried to push the minor toward demise. From there we head to Alabama, where a man is accused of using a chainsaw to kill his grandmother and aunt inside their home, then turning a court appearance into its own spectacle. Former University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling has been sentenced in the case of her newborn son, whose body was found in a closet; she previously admitted in court that she “ended his life.” DNA technology finally closes a long-dormant West Virginia sexual assault and abduction cold case. A maintenance worker is caught on a nanny cam going through a tenant’s underwear drawer. Two 15-year-old girls in California are arrested after authorities say they spent months researching and plotting a school shooting. The man who appeared on The People’s Court with his then-fiancée is charged in her 2011 disappearance and murder. In Florida, a man is accused of shooting his girlfriend outside a bar and then running her over while his young daughter and the family dog were present. In our Lustful Lawbreakers segment we cover the domestic dispute that started over a missing sex toy and ended with both parties in handcuffs (before they reconciled). And we close with the Montreal woman killed in her apartment while she was on a work Zoom call with colleagues—her attacker now charged with first-degree murder.

    Crime Wire Weekly 10/16/26 | Resort Tragedy, Elder Abuse and Death Row’s Last Words

    We start with a Baton Rouge man facing charges after his 92-year-old father was found beaten to death inside the family home—despite a protective order already in place from a prior assault. Then we head to the Poconos, where a mother has been charged in the double homicide of her husband and 3-year-old son inside a Great Wolf Lodge hotel room. Authorities say she called for help afterward, telling responders she wanted to be with them. From there, the stories only get stranger. A Brazilian man is planning to remarry the wife who severed his penis after she learned he cheated on her—and he’s using compensation money from the incident to fund the wedding and a prosthesis.   In Florida, an ICU nurse was arrested after a patient’s family member watched her siphon fentanyl from an IV bag she wasn’t even assigned to. In our Lustful Lawbreakers segment, a FaceTime call that started one way ends in charges and exposure. We dig into the newly released 911 recordings from Christa Pike’s botched execution attempt in Tennessee, which reveal delays, code confusion, and a prison call initially dismissed as false. Actress Selma Blair is in the news after an alleged in-flight meltdown that left flight attendants injured and led to assault charges—her team points to a medical emergency and missed medication. We also cover the final moments of Florida inmate James “Chicken-Head” Robertson, executed after he killed his cellmate specifically to land on death row. When asked for last words, he kept it short. In International Indiscretions, German police seize a humanoid robot after it allegedly groped a teenage girl outside a fast-food restaurant while the incident was livestreamed. And a Florida woman’s Instagram beef escalates into a nightclub fight involving a snatched necklace and a bite.  Overtime brings the Goliath roller coaster tragedy at Six Flags Over Georgia, where a beloved local teacher was ejected from the ride and fell to his death; an 84-year-old Louisiana man’s explosive arrest after investigators say he was manufacturing and selling homemade devices near a school (Elderly Outlaws); a jet ski sexual assault case; and the San Diego chef who was quietly running a kitchen for years under an alias before U.S. Marshals caught him as a long-time Iowa fugitive wanted in a kidnapping and shooting.

    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.

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.

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.

Two men are sentenced in a massive multi-state Walmart fraud scheme that hit more than 100 stores, including Louisiana.

    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 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!
