    Crime Wire Weekly 9/18/26 | Embezzled Football Funds,Deadly Train Push,Love Triangle Tragedy

    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!
