Medical examiners place a body in a van in Miami, after an early morning shooting Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2009. A 53-year-old man fatally shot his wife and two daughters Wednesday before turning the gun on himself.

FLORIDA–Six people have died in an apparent murder-suicide in the coastal south Florida city of Riviera Beach, police said Monday. A police officer was investigating a suspicious car when he heard shots and saw a man walk out of a home shortly after 2 a.m. (ET), the Riviera Beach Police Department said in a statement. The man shot and killed himself when he spotted the officer, the statement said. Authorities identified him as Patrick Dell, 41.

Inside the house, police found the bodies of the man’s 36-year-old estranged wife, Natasha Whyte Dell, and four of his stepchildren, ranging in age from 10 to 14, the statement said. A fifth stepchild was hospitalized with a gunshot wound.

POLL: Should convicted sex offenders get GPS devices before leaving prison?

Posted by Sandra On September - 27 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS
GPS ankle bracelets allow authorities to keep tabs on parolees.

At least twice in the past month, sex offenders prompted multi-agency manhunts in the North County when they refused to be monitored by GPS — a responsibility that falls on the offenders when they get out of prison.

One man, who is accused of committing a sex crime the day after being paroled, was caught days later, while the second surrendered to authorities three weeks after going offline.

The cases beg the question: Why aren’t sex offenders strapped with GPS devices before leaving prison?

At least nine little girls have been abducted and brutally raped in a reign of terror which may be the work of a single man preying on the children of Khayelitsha in Cape Town.

The latest victim is a four-year-old found wandering bloodied and bruised near her home in Kuyasa on Tuesday. She had been snatched two days earlier as her grandmother cooked a meal. Police arrested a 30-year-old man this week. Investigators believe he may have committed the spate of harrowing crimes against girls in the area.

Mom served only 7-mths for starved baby’s death

Posted by Sandra On September - 27 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Early release from a 20-year sentence not rare — but is it just?

Eight-week-old Saul Castillo, wrapped in a blanket and wearing a green and white hat, died when his tiny 14-gram heart stopped beating, his emaciated body little more than skin wrapped around sunken eyes and protruding bones.

He had starved to death.

His father, charged in his part in the neglect that led to Saul’s 2004 death, absconded and has not been found.

Former Vice-Principal Accused of Having Sex With Student

Former Vice Principal Charged With Having Inappropriate Relationship With Former Student

NORTH WALES, Pa. – Every now and then I see a picture of a guy attached to a crime story and I immediately think “pedophile.” That includes this story sent to us by our good friends over at Kindertrauma regarding a former vice principle who has been accused of striking up a rather inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old boy. I would’ve bet my gaudy McMansion that 37-year-old Charles Hurst spent a lot of time in the boy’s underwear department at Target purely from this pic of him sporting a creepy smile from underneath his Justin Bieber haircut.
