An Idaho woman is behind bars after police say she tried to rob a convenience store with a cigarette lighter. Forty-two-year-old Rainee Racehorse faces various charges associated with the incident, and could possibly face up to 20 years of imprisonment. The Idaho State Journal reports that police were alerted to an attempted robbery on Sunday night at a Chevron in the town of Pocatello. Staff at the convenience store told authorities that Racehorse entered the premises and attempted to purchase a pack of cigarettes with a bunk debit card. Once the card was declined, the Idaho woman allegedly continued trying to use the card, which declined every time. After her attempts at using the card proved fully unsuccessful, staff told police that Racehorse then attempted to rob the store. According to officials, the Idaho woman reportedly grabbed a Bic lighter from a display and flicked it in the cashier’s face and told them to give her money. “You need to give me the money. This is a robbery,”

A Florida man convicted of killing his bride-to-be in 2020 is getting media attention again due to the bizarre motive behind the murder. Sixty-four-year-old Jerry Odum committed the crime nearly four years ago, but video footage of his interrogation has finally been released, during which he reveals his reason for killing the woman he supposedly loved. Crime Online reports that the Florida man can be seen in the disturbing footage describing the killing of his then-fiancée, and why he chose to do it, all while remaining calm and cool-headed. According to the man who is now a convicted killer, he became desperate after misleading the woman about his finances and his ability to pay for the wedding she wanted. Odum met 59-year-old Vickie Edge on a dating app in 2020, and the two quickly fell in love. After briefly dating a mere three months, the two became engaged to be married — which ultimately lead to the Florida woman’s demise. During their short engagement, the Florida man reported

A Florida woman is in trouble after she reportedly used dog pee for a court ordered drug test. Forty-eight-year-old Jessica Beatty had previously been arrested on possession of drug paraphernalia, and was ordered by the court to stay off of drugs and submit to urine tests. Apparently she thought she found a loophole that could would allow her to continue using while complying with the court orders. She was wrong. Crime Online reports that the Florida woman was arrested after she arrived at her probation appoi ntment with a urine sample in her possession. This was an obvious red flag to workers at the facility, since a probation officer is supposed to monitor the retrieval of the urine sample. When confronted about why she’d brought a sample into the facility instead of following the rules, Beatty folded and confessed to what she had planned. The Florida woman told staff that she’d collected dog pee from her aunt’s pet dog, as an attempt to avoid using her own urine during the testing

Police in Muskogee, Oklahoma are looking for 46-year-old Amanda Harms. The missing woman hasn’t been seen since January 13th, and her loved ones are concerned. There are very few details available in this developing case, but the few details that exist cast a somewhat suspicious light on this disappearance. KTUL News reports that 46-year-old Amanda Harms was last seen on Saturday night around the area of 44th and Denison in Muskogee. Other sources, however, share that she might have last been seen in her home by her husband. Fox 23 News reports that the Muskogee Public School system (which employed Amanda Harms as a teacher) received an email from the missing woman’s husband . The email stated that she went missing from their home on foot to go to a nearby store, but never returned. What happened to this missing woman? Did she voluntarily disappear after leaving her home on the night of January 13th, or did she meet some kind of foul play while en route to the store? Since her husb

The man accused of being the Long Island Serial Killer has been charged with the murder of another victim. This update comes nearly a year after Rex Heuermann was charged in association with the previously-unsolved murders of three women spanning from 1996 and 2011. Multiple media sources are reporting that the accused Long Island Serial Killer appeared in court this week to be formally charged with the murder of a fourth victim . Rex Heuermann has been charged with the murder of 25-year-old Maureen Brainard-Barnes, whose remains were found at Gilgo Beach in 2010. The 60-year-old accused serial killer has already been charged in association with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Lynn Costello and Megan Waterman. Like the fourth victim, these three women’s bodies were also found around Gilgo Beach. While Heuermann has been charged with the murders of four of the victims found at Gilgo Beach, it should be noted that there were at least 10 different bodies located over the span of

Megan Stedman is still missing, if you go by reports which have not confirmed whether or not her body has been discovered. However, her boyfriend was recently arrested while living in the same RV that was missing along with her. Now the loved ones of the missing woman are speaking out with the belief that she was murdered by the man. This comes on the heels of reports that loved ones were concerned that domestic violence could have played a role in her disappearance. KHQ News reports that family members of Megan Stedman believe that her boyfriend killed her . Meanwhile, evidence was found in the missing woman’s RV that directly led to the arrest of the man. Forty-two-year-old Chris Foiles has been charged with first-degree murder, but the body of Megan Stedman hasn’t been located. Megan Stedman vanished a month ago while in the area of Bozeman/Livingston, Montana. The missing woman was reportedly in the area while en route to visit her daughter in Colorado, but her loved ones say tha

A Pennsylvania woman is accused of murdering her boyfriend’s child in the most despicable fashion — and the dummy left an evidence trail of the entire plot. The incident took place last June, but now officials in PA believe they have enough evidence to fully prosecute the accused killer. Some of the details surrounding that evidence are getting viral attention. Multiple media reports are sharing details surrounding the alleged murder of an 18-month-old child that took place in June 2023. When Aleisia Owens was arrested last year, the 20-year-old Pennsylvania woman stood accused of killing the toddler almost instantly. An investigation has concluded that Owens deliberately and premeditatively killed her boyfriend’s toddler daughter by gradually feeding her items that were harmful. Some of these items included screws and small batteries. But she also allegedly fed the 18-month-old baby acetone-based nail polish remover. The investigation has also reportedly determined that Owens research

Have you seen this missing woman? Ashley Turcotte reportedly left her home on January 4th, and hasn’t been seen since. To make matters worse, her car was found abandoned and containing all of her essential belongings, including her cellphone and wallet. Now it’s been nearly two weeks, and the search for her continues — but will it end on a positive note? Seacoast Current reports that the search for Ashley Turcotte continues with few updates after the discovery of her car earlier this month. The New Hampshire woman was last seen wearing dark-colored clothes and shoes, but little information is really known about what she was last wearing or the circumstances leading to her leaving her residence, only to disappear. A Facebook group dedicated to the search for Ashley Turcotte appears to have a little more information about the missing woman. However, that information is still very slim, while questions continue to grow surrounding the circumstances of Ashley’s disappearance. What hap

A Florida woman has been arrested after police say that she left her three young children alone in her home for three days — all so she could go partying. Fortunately, the children in this story survived the abandonment ordeal, but things could have potentially gone wrong for the young ones who were left to fend for themselves. Coral Springs Talk reports that 35-year-old Daverta Jenkins left her children, ages 12, 6 and 3 years old, alone for several days in her apartment without any adult supervision. To make matters worse, she left the children without adequate food in the home, which caused her 12-year-old child to beg for food and care from the absent woman via text. Police say the oldest child was left to care for the younger siblings, but they needed food. She tried to call and text her mother at least a dozen times with no success. The children finally gave up on trying to contact their mother, and were forced to beg the neighbors for food after more than two days of begging t

A California woman is behind bars after police say she stabbed her own mother to death — and she livestreamed the entire thing on Facebook Live. Police say 28-year-old Tonantzyn Oris Beltran was “soaked in blood” when they arrived on the scene of the fatal event. ABC News 7 reports that police in San Rafael arrived at the scene of the stabbing while responding to calls from concerned witnesses about “a physical fight and stabbing.” When they arrived, they were made immediately aware that Beltran was on the balcony of her apartment. The California woman was holding a knife in her hand, and was bloodied. She was standing next to the unresponsive body of her 55-year-old mother. Once authorities were able to gain access to the balcony, Beltran was arrested and her mother was rushed to a nearby hospital. It was there that she was pronounced dead after succumbing to her numerous injuries. Police in San Rafael say the woman livestreamed the entire incident with her phone, and that several

An Ohio mom has been arrested on accusations that she faked her daughter’s cancer as a means to scam people of thousands of dollars. Forty-one-year-old Pamela Reed has been charged with Theft by Deception in association with the scheme, which involved shaving her seven-year-old daughter’s head to make it look like she was a cancer patient. The New York Post reports that Pamela Reed fabricated stories about her daughter’s health over a span of several years, and even documented her fictional struggles on social media for attention and clout. Members of Reed’s own community weren’t even spared from the scam. Police say that people raised and donated money to the Ohio mom and her family to help pay for living expenses and cancer treatments for the seven-year-old girl. Among claims of cancer and other conditions, Reed had also told numerous people that her child was blind in one eye. This particular lie is what led to the downfall of the entire cancer scheme. A nurse at the child’s schoo

A popular TikTok doctor is being called out for medical racism after he openly generalized his Black patients in a video. Dr. J Mack Slaughter is known for his “Dr. Boy Band” persona and isn’t usually tied to controversy, but his latest TikTok antics have changed that. In a video that’s now-viral, Dr. J Mack brought up something he noticed about his Black patients that differed from patients of other races. The TikTok star noted that his Black patients tend to have someone on the phone with them during their visits. “Why is that when I myself, not speaking for an entire race or ethnicity have a doctor come in, I hang up my phone,” he said during the clip. Viewers of the viral TikTok were quick to point out that Dr. Boy Band was generalizing patients of Color, which is illustrative of medical racism — an often-ignored facet of racism in the United States. One person who called out the TikTok doctor is another TikToker known as Dr. Kali. She responded to Dr. J Mack’s video, encouraging

The search for Megan Stedman continues nearly a month after she vanished from the area of Bozeman/Livingston, Montana. Now new details are coming through the media, which have shed a negative light on the missing woman’s boyfriend. Loved ones say that domestic violence could be playing a role in her disappearance, and if that’s the case, it might already be too late for Megan. KXLY New s reports that Megan Stedman was in contact with a close friend of hers shortly before she disappeared. This friend, named Janelle, claims that Megan was a victim of domestic violence. What’s further troubling is the last conversation that Janelle claims she had with Megan before she vanished. According to the missing Montana woman’s friend, Stedman called her in “a state of panic,” asking for money and assistance to get away from her abusive ex-boyfriend. These new details cast a disturbing, but all-too-familiar shadow over the woman’s disappearance. Victims of domestic violence are in the most danger w

Brittany Tee has been missing for a year, and authorities in Massachusetts are still searching for clues behind her disappearance. The 35-year-old woman was last seen on January 10, 2023 in the area of Brookfield, near Main St., and Lewis Field. Since this last known sighting, nobody has seen or heard from the missing woman. With a year passed in her disappearance, will the search for Brittany have a positive ending? NBC News 10 reports that the search for Brittany Tee is still active, exactly one year following her mysterious disappearance. Over the course of the past year, multiple avenues have been exhausted — and resources utilized — in the search for the missing 35-year-old Massachusetts woman.

A Texas woman has been arrested after she reportedly murdered her six-year-old daughter, before causing a chaotic scene in the nude at the apartment complex where she and her deceased child resided. That’s not all: The reason the Texas mother killed her little girl is downright sad. The Messenger reports that San Antonio Police Department authorities responded to calls of a disturbance at an apartment complex in the area. That’s where they encountered Nephiterea Sancho, who was completely nude and running around the property. The Texas mom was apprehended at this time, and officers entered her place of residence. That is where they found the slain body of six-year-old Hosanna Sancho. The child, according to arresting officers, had been fatally wounded. Officers noted that the child appeared to have trauma to her body, but didn’t clarify on an apparent cause of death. When interrogated by authorities, the naked Texas woman claimed that she’d murdered her daughter as a sacrifice. She is

A 13-year-old Texas girl has been arrested for brutally stabbing and beating her mother to the point of near-death — but her case is far from the only one of similar caliber in recent headlines. In fact, the number of cases of parenticide and attempted-parenticide reported by news outlets appear to be increasing. News 4 San Antonio reports that an unnamed 13-year-old girl stands accused of trying to murder her own mother by stabbing her over 30 times. Police who responded to the scene of the violent incident say that they also found bloody brass knuckles in the home, as well as a bloody dumbbell weight. Her identity isn’t being released due to her being a minor, but she is at least still in custody while awaiting trial. Strangely enough, her father has shown up to her initial court appearances in support of her. The aforementioned case in Texas is far from the only recent case of a child trying to murder one of their parents. In October 2023, a 13-year-old Florida boy named Derek Ros

An Ohio man has been arrested in association with the death of his mom, and now the details of the case are gaining media attention. The mentally disturbed suspect is not only accused of killing his mother, but his interaction with police at the time of his arrest can easily be described as bizarre. The Messenger reports that 26-year-old Ohio man T’ontae Farley is accused of stabbing his own mother to death. Police say that when they arrested Farley, he made a strange request. He reportedly asked an officer for a hug because “I stabbed my mother.” The incident took place in December 2021, but T’ontae Farley was finally convicted in December 2023. This week, he was finally sentenced in association with his crimes and handed a prison term of 11 years.

What would you do? A man was recently applauded for refusing to give his seat to a pregnant woman while aboard a flight — and now the situation is getting viral attention. The New York Post reports that a Reddit user took to the community to see if he was in the wrong for how he handled an incident involving a pregnant woman and his airline seat. The man wrote that he purchased a plane ticket next to a bathroom due to his having medical needs, and it was going to be a rather lengthy flight. When he was ready to aboard said flight, he encountered a pregnant woman who asked him if he’d be willing to trade seats with her. “Right before boarding, a woman asked me to give up my seat so she could sit closer to the bathroom. She was pregnant but did not seem distressed,” he wrote. When he declined, the woman became argumentative and continued to demand that he give up his seat. According to the Reddit post, the woman went as far as trying to get flight attendants to intervene and make the m

The search for missing indigenous woman Wilma Acosta has come to a tragic end with the discovery of human remains. Police in Multnomah County say that they’ve located the missing woman’s body near the area where she was last seen in late November 2023. This brings a tragic end to the search for the missing woman, but will her loved ones get the answers they deserve? Previously, law enforcement in Portland claimed that the missing indigenous woman took her own life by possibly jumping into the river. Her loved ones passionately disagreed with this assumption, expressing their belief that something else had happened to her. KATU News reports that the body of Wilma Acosta was located in the river , and that there were no signs of foul play. This could potentially confirm the theory held by authorities that Acosta killed herself. Hopefully the discovery of Wilma Acosta’s body brings some kind of closure to her loved ones, but This is clearly the end that nobody wanted in the search for the

A homeless man has become the latest viral victim of entitled Karen behavior, and this time the reason why is absolutely idiotic. According to a post on the popular Entitled People subreddit, a homeless man was trying to charge his devices in a public library — as he’d done frequently at the very same spot. On this day, however, he found himself in the sights of an entitled grinch. Bored Panda writes that the man posted that he’d walked into the library carrying his bags , ready to charge his devices when a four-year-old girl ran up to him and shouted “Santa!” at him. The child was delighted that she believed she’d run into the beloved Christmas character, and the man wasn’t offended. After all, he realized that he looked a lot like Santa Claus, so he was friendly with the girl. He smiled and laughed at her glee. However, the mother of the child didn’t find the situation to be as endearing as OP did. She grabbed her child, told her that he wasn’t Santa Claus and then walked away. Sho
