Pennsylvania woman charged with shooting 64-year-old pharmacy executive in face
A 33-year-old woman living with a 64-year-old pharmaceutical executive was charged with shooting him in the face and then staging a burglary to cover her tracks.
Jennifer Morrissey was arrested on charges including burglary, tampering with evidence, possessing instruments of a crime and criminal homicide in the slaying of Michael McNew, from Bucks County, ABC 6 reported.
The pair began living with each other in 2015 but recently had a falling out. According to court documents, he wanted her out of the house, which likely sparked the deadly confrontation.
McNew reportedly told her he’d be boxing up her belongings and sending them to storage.
Authorities found the father and grandfather dead in a chair in his Pennsylvania home — along the Delaware River — on Aug. 8
Investigators were able to recover a series of threatening texts from Morrissey to McNew, sent the same day, according to CBS Philadelphia.
“Get the gun ready cause I’m coming, I already told you I’d be there tonight … guess you’re just going to have to shoot me,” she allegedly texted. “You have a choice. Touch my stuff or I’ll cut your throat.” According to Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub, another text reads: “I’ll gut you like I’m field dressing a [expletive] deer.”
Investigators would not elaborate on the details of Morrissey’s relationship with the executive, though she did indicate he’d been financially supporting her, investigators told NBC.
“It’s safe to assume there was a relationship between Mr. McNew and Ms. Morrissey,” Weintraub said. “It’s not disputed that Ms. Morrissey did have a boyfriend other than Mr. McNew.”
McNew reportedly threatened to give the FBI information on her boyfriend — he has not been charged, though officials believe she tried to cast suspicion on him initially. Investigators said it appeared Morrissey took great care in covering up the crime. She allegedly staged a robbery scene, stealing a laptop and cellphone, as well as deleting all her text messages.
In an interview with police, the 33-year-old suspect tearfully said McNew took care of her and that he didn’t deserve to die.
Morrissey was being held at the Bucks County jail without bail and is slated to appear in court on Oct. 16.

Transgender teen’s eyes gouged, genitals stabbed, authorities say
Some of Ally Lee Steinfeld’s burned remains were found in a bag in a rural southern Missouri chicken coop. Authorities say both of the transgender teen’s eyes had been gouged out and she had been stabbed in the genitals.
As questions swirl about why the quiet 17-year-old was killed in such a ghastly manner, authorities aren’t saying what led to the killing. But they dismiss the possibility the death was a hate crime.
Authorities identified the remains as those of Joseph Matthew Steinfeld Jr. – Ally Lee Steinfeld’s birth name. They were found last week in the town of Cabool, near the mobile home of one of the alleged killers, 24-year-old Briana Calderas, with whom Steinfeld was living.
Calderas and two 18-year-olds, Andrew Vrba and Isis Schauer, are charged with first-degree murder and other counts. A fourth suspect is charged with abandonment of a corpse and tampering with evidence.
Both Sheriff James Sigman and prosecutor Parke Stevens Jr. insist the crime was not motivated by Steinfeld’s gender identity.
“I would say murder in the first-degree is all that matters,” Stevens said. “That is a hate crime in itself.”
Yet the killing has drawn the attention of transgender advocates and others across the U.S. who believe Steinfeld was targeted for her gender identity, despite what the Texas County sheriff and prosecutor say.
“This violence, often motivated by hatred, must come to an end,” said Chris Sgro, spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, who said Steinfeld was the 21st transgender person killed this year in the U.S. “We will continue to mourn Ally and fight back against transphobia and anti-trans violence.”
Steinfeld had been missing for weeks, and initial news reports referred to her as a male, in part because missing-person posters distributed by the family used Steinfeld’s birth name, as did police documents.
Steinfeld’s mother, Amber Steinfeld, still refers to her child as Joey, but said the teen identified as female to family and to friends on social media. She said her child was “loving and kind-hearted.”
Steinfeld was engaged to a woman until they broke up in August, Amber Steinfeld said, and soon after began dating Calderas. She said Steinfeld and the two 18-year-old suspects were all living at Calderas’ mobile home. She said Steinfeld was upbeat before she disappeared, telling relatives that she loved them and was happy.
Steinfeld grew up mostly in House Springs, Missouri, near St. Louis, Amber Steinfeld said. The family moved briefly to Florida, then to Texas County, an area of rugged hills in southern Missouri.
Steinfeld dropped out of high school upon turning 17, Amber Steinfeld said. At about the same time, the rest of the family moved back to House Springs, but Steinfeld stayed in Houston, Missouri, living with different friends.
In May, Steinfeld posted on Instagram that she was coming out and was “mtf,” or male-to-female. In a posting on June 13, Steinfeld referred to herself as “Trans male to female and I am mostly lesbian but pansexual.” In another that same day she wrote, “I am proud to be me I am proud to be trans I am beautiful I don’t care what people think.”
Vrba told investigators he initially tried to poison Steinfeld, then described how he stabbed Steinfeld in the living room of Calderas’ mobile home, Deputy Rowdy Douglas wrote in a probable cause statement. The female suspects said Vrba bragged to them about how he gouged Steinfeld’s eyes and stabbed Steinfeld in the genitals, Douglas wrote. The probable cause statement does not offer any motive.
Authorities say the three suspects burned Steinfeld’s body, placed some of the bones into a garbage bag and put the bag in the chicken coop. Calderas admitted helping burn the body and led authorities to the knife used in the killing, Douglas wrote.
An attorney for the three suspects, Michael Jacobs, said Tuesday that it was too early to comment.
Linda Camara, 61, a friend of Steinfeld’s family, was struck by the gruesome nature of the killing.
“People kill each other, which is bad, but to do it that way, that’s something you see in movies,” Camara said. “And the three people who did this, they were kids, too.”

Couple Snapchats Themselves Shooting Up Neighborhood
Here is an example of dumb crimes. Cops in Houston Texas are trying to identify a couple who was responsible for shooting into a west Houston neighborhood.
The snaps were found by a user on Reddit called “harriscores” using one of the apps features called SnapMap. The user then started a thread about it in the Houston’s sub Reddit section.
The snaps show an unidentified man and woman firing wrecklessly in a neighborhood at 3:00 in the morning. After the shooting it was shortly revealed that the houses where the neighborhood resided in was one of the many areas flooded by Hurricane Harvey.
Not only was this dangerous but very idiotic as well seeing as how these two low lives could have easily killed someone during their idiotic stunt. Hopefully they’ll be captured soon.
Teen Accused Of Poisoning Breast Milk For Infant Niece
There are a lot of sick people in the world and young people are definitely not exempt from horrible and sick behavior. An example of this is an Indiana teen who attempted to kill her 11 week old niece by poisoning her breast milk.
According to court documents its has been revealed that there have been texts back and forth from the teen, Sarah Rodriguez and her boyfriend telling him that she was plotting to kill the baby. According to the investigation Rodriguez was upset that her mother allowed her brother, his fiancee and their infant to stay with them for an extended period of time.
According to police, Rodriguez told her boyfriend that she was going to crush acetaminophen and sleeping pills and mix it with a bottle of breast milk in the refrigerator.
When she later discovered that the bottle was missing Rodriguez was thrilled thinking that the baby had been fed the bottle. Unbeknownst to her, her mother discovered the bottle because her and her daughter share the same cell phone and monitors her social media. The police were soon contacted and Rodriguez fled the state but was soon caught. She faces one felony account of attempted murder. The baby has been seen by a toxicologist for poisoning but luckily nothing has been found.
This is just another example of pure evil. It’s obvious that the girl clearly has some disturbing issues, Luckily she’s far away from the baby to do any harm to her.

Teen Attempts To Poison Niece
Brothers lived with mom and partner’s corpses for days after double suicide – believed the couple were “asleep and cold”
Four young brothers in Spain lived with the decomposing bodies of their mother and her partner for nearly a week after the couple killed themselves – not realizing they were dead despite the overpowering stench.
The boys, between the ages of 5 and 13, believed the couple were “asleep and cold,” the Daily Mirror reported.
They dressed and fed themselves, and went to school, while the corpses rotted away after what police say were deliberate drug overdoses.
One of the youngsters finally mentioned to their landlord that their 32-year-old mom had been asleep for days. When he went to check, he was overcome by the smell of death.
On Sept. 20, police found the bodies of Rocio Aguilar and her 40-year-old partner, Jose Antonio, inside the home in La Zarza-Perrunal in southwestern Spain.
It turns out that cops had already stopped by after the boys’ school raised concerns – but they left when the kids assured them that their mother was asleep.
The co-owner of a hostel where the family had stayed before moving to the rental place told the Spanish paper El Mundo that they had arrived “with nothing” only two weeks earlier.
“They were running from something, I do not know what,” said the woman, who only gave her first name, Isabel.
Bella Vazquez, the hostel’s other co-owner, said she knew Aguilar when she was a child and that her family had moved away to Huelva during a mining crisis.
“She was a girl with a very miserable life. It’s a terrible shame,” she said. “There are four children who will hopefully go on and have a good life.

Canadian Woman Who Got Tattoo on Her Eyeball May Lose Eye, Is Warning Others About Procedure
Catt Gallinger, 24, from Ontario, Canada, is warning others of the drastic consequences of getting a “sclera tattoo” — a tinting of the whites of the eyes to another color using a hypodermic needle — after getting purple ink injected her right eye. Gallinger said that she got the tattoo in mid-September and since then, it has swelled, purpled, leaked colored tears and her vision could be permanently ruined.
According to the model, who has been posting written and video updates to her Facebook page, the damage was “caused by undiluted ink, over injection, (and/or) not enough/smaller injections sights” during the procedure.
Gallinger’s eye initially began leaking the light purple ink before swelling shut. Three weeks later, the sclera itself began to swell and hemorrhage, with the sclera tearing due to a puncture from the needle, leading to irritation, double and blurred vision. Doctors gave Gallinger drops and ointments to contain the swelling, dispel the ink, dilate the pupil and help disperse the ink.
Doctors are concerned the equipment wasn’t sterile, due to an infection caused by the ink, Gallinger said. A commenter on one of her videos asked if she was planning to take legal action, she simply said, “yes.”
Gallinger acknowledged that she should not have trusted the artist, who repeatedly asked her to get the tattoo done, but also said he should not be insisting on performing a sensitive procedure without proper training. Gallinger warns others to do their research on artists, body modification procedures, and to reach out to others to get feedback.
After receiving comments that what she did was “stupid,” Gallinger said in an emotional video on Sep. 25: “you know what? You really think that after something like this, I’m not the first person thinking that? I’m the first person to think that every single time I look at myself.” Gallinger, who wears light sensitive dark glasses inside and outside, is completely discouraged from continuing her modeling career.
“I don’t see myself ever being comfortable enough to do another shoot. I can barely look at myself except for when I have to do my treatments,” she wrote on Sept. 23.
Her most recent post said she was waiting to meet a cornea specialist.
“I am sharing this to warn you to research who you get your procedures by as well as how the procedure should be properly done,” Gallinger wrote in her first public post about the incident.
Doctors have done corneal tattoos for medical reasons and to cover discoloration from disease or injury, but the trend of sclera tattoos as a cosmetic body modification can be traced to 2007, with posts on BME.com, a body modification blog, about a “highly experimental procedure that should not be emulated.” Currently, the site has more than 100 pictures of users’ tinted eyeballs. In Oklahoma, the state Senate passed a bill declaring sclera tattoos illegal in 2009.

Georgia Teen Murderer Arrested In Staten Island
A Georgia teen on the run for a double murder has been found and arrested. 17 year old Akilee Zakee Wilson will be extradited back to Georgia after cops found him in a housing complex on Staten Island.
Cops say Wilson was involved in a shooting between two rival groups in Canton, Georgia. When the dust settled, one man was found dead, another injured and one who was wounded but died enroute to the hospital.
Police charged three other men, one of them being the brother of one of the victims, with murder, and a fourth one with obstruction of an officer, in connection with the shooting back in July.
It’s amazing how a lot of young people are throwing their lives away over something that was probably petty more than likely.

Tamar Braxton’s Husband Ordered to Pay Sony $3.7 Million
Tamar Braxton’s husband and business partner, Vincent Herbert, has been ordered to pay Sony almost $4 million.
Music exec Vincent Herbert was ordered to pay up after a judge sided with Sony in their legal battle over a 2013 advance. According to the lawsuit Sony paid Herbert to find new talent, and part of the deal required payments back from Interscope Records.
However, Sony sued Herbert, claiming he started intercepting the money from Interscope in October 2015, in turn cheating Sony out of recouping the advance.
Herbert failed to respond to the lawsuit, and the judge issued a default judgment. Now, including interest, Vince has to pay $3,738,515.93 to Sony.
We caught up to Tamar this weekend and she responded to ruling: “Lies!”
Just kidding… share your thoughts below.
