STORY 1: Man Indicted in Death of Disabled Elderly Woman
Gary Allen Williams, a 66-year-old east Cobb man, was indicted by a Cobb grand jury for murder and neglect following the death of Addreinne Gordon, a disabled elderly woman in his care, who died from sepsis in November 2021. Williams is accused of neglecting Gordon, who was bedridden and paralyzed on her left side, resulting in severe injuries including bed sores, matted hair, untrimmed nails, and feces accumulation. Despite being her sole caretaker, Williams denied seeing her injuries. Gordon died the next day after being admitted to the hospital. Williams is currently detained at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center on $110,220 bond for murder and $16,720 bond for neglecting a disabled adult.
STORY 2: Two Indicted for Murder After Child Dies With Fentanyl in System
A grand jury has indicted Jocelyn Romero and Pablo Calihua-Garcia on charges of murder and drug trafficking, including substances such as fentanyl and methamphetamine. This follows the tragic death of a child, discovered with fentanyl in his system, in an apartment complex on Cobb Parkway during the period between October and November 2023.
Romero faces separate murder charges after the child's demise in the same apartment, underscored by a toxicology report confirming fentanyl exposure. The discovery of fentanyl within the premises has led to additional scrutiny of the accused’s activities.
Both Romero and Calihua-Garcia are charged with felony murder and drug trafficking charges, highlighting the endangerment of a toddler through their alleged fentanyl trafficking operations. They are currently detained without bond at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center, awaiting trial as co-defendants.
STORY 3: Historic Barn Destroyed by Fire
A historic barn on the property of the McAfee House caught fire over the weekend. Cobb County Fire crews swiftly responded to the blaze, which was extinguished within an hour. While the house itself, built in the 1840s and serving as a Civil War headquarters, was spared, the barn suffered significant damage and is considered a total loss. The property, owned by a family that hasn't occupied it for over a decade, is up for sale as a commercial development site. Cobb Landmarks hopes to relocate the house and remaining barn to preserve its historical significance amid surrounding developments, though legal protections for its heritage are lacking.

STORY 4: Fired Cobb Teacher Appeals in Cobb Superior Court
A Cobb County fifth-grade teacher fired for reading a book about gender identity to students has appealed her termination to Cobb Superior Court after the Georgia Board of Education upheld her firing. The appeal contends the Cobb school board's decision was arbitrary and lacking evidence. Rinderle was dismissed for reading "My Shadow is Purple," which features a nonbinary character, despite a tribunal recommending against termination. She's also filed a discrimination lawsuit against the school district. The state bo
