Diamond thief used a clever sleight of hand trick to pocket two precious stones.

Chicago authorities arrested a notorious diamond thief over the weekend. The suspect, who used a hand trick to steal $133,000 worth of brilliants from Chicago’s Jewelry Row district, is connected to at least three heists in Belgium and at least one in New York City.

Diamond Thief Posed As a Canada Customer Employed by a Russian Client

On Sunday, a Chicago police spokesperson announced the arrest of 67-year-old Tamaz Hubel, a prolific diamond thief.  Several US agencies contributed to Hubel’s arrest, including Customs and Border Protection, the Department of Homeland Security, and Miami-Dade Police Department.

According to Hubel’s arrest warrant, the individual has been sought by the lawmen shortly after a jewelry store owner reported the disappearance of two valuable diamonds from the Jewelry Row.

Upon reviewing the store’s surveillance footage, the authorities determined that the diamond this used a “clever trick” to steal a 2-carat diamond and a 4-carat diamond from the store when the salesperson wasn’t looking.

The store’s owner declared that the 2-carat diamond’s price had been estimated at $26,000, while the exquisite 4-carat piece would have fetched at least $133,000.

Chicago PD’s spokesperson declared that Hubel entered the store on Sunday carrying a leather briefcase. He approached the salesperson and told him that he’s interested in purchasing one or more diamonds.

According to the salesperson’s testimony, Hubel told him that his name was Henry and he was from Canada. Moreover, the diamond thief mentioned that he’s acting on behalf of a Russian client.

Conclusion

The salesperson then invited Hubel into a private room, where he opened a large display case with diamonds. Each precious stone was wrapped in white tissue.

Under the pretense of consulting a price list, Hubel took out a paper from his briefcase, covered the display case, and removed two diamonds which he later placed in the pocket. He left the empty tissues in the display case.

The trick has been so well executed, that it took the jewelry’s staff four days to realize that the diamonds were gone.

June 20, 2018 By Kyle Mills Leave a Comment

gavel

The Turpin couple pleaded not guilty on all counts.

Louise and David Turpin, the California couple who made headlines after authorities discovered they’ve been torturing and staring their 13 children, are scheduled to appear in court for the first time since they were arrested in December. The Turpin couple pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Turpin Couple Kept Children Locked in Separate Rooms, ‘Encouraged’ Them to Keep Journals

David Turpin and his spouse, the monstrous couple who coined the expression ‘California’s House of Horror’ are expected to show up for their preliminary hearing. Riverside’s Superior Court will have to decide if the prosecution amassed enough evidence to incriminate the Turpin couple.

Jack Osborn, the attorney representing the couple’s adult children, declared that, in the months following their rescue, they showed remarkable resilience and that they are more than determined to put their past behind.

More than that, according to Mr. Osborn, all of the partook in music therapy and even attended a Yo-Yo Ma concert. They’ve also spoken with their younger siblings over Skype. As to the faith of Turpin’s smaller children, the social services declined to comment.

Last year, in December, the Turpin couple was taken into custody after their 17-year-old daughter escaped the house and called the authorities.

To a certain degree, all those involved in the California House of Horror case have been touched, horrified or outraged.

Conclusion

According to the police report, all 13 children, with ages ranging from 2 to 29, were kept in small rooms, without TV, smartphones, Internet, running water, food or water.

However, the Turpin couple would often ‘encourage’ them to keep up journals. The authorities later retrieved these journals which are to be used during David’s and Louise’s trial.

David Mancher, the attorney representing David Turpin, declined to comment but declared that he’s looking forward to the couple’s preliminary hearing.

Aryan Brotherhood

Lynn Rogers, Aryan Brotherhood second-in-command, sentence to life in prison.

On Friday, a Dallas County jury found 48-year-old Michael Lynn Rogers, a high-ranking member of Texas’ Aryan Brotherhood, guilty of capital murder. Rogers was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the 2016 murder of Alberto Gonzales. Other members of Rogers’ entourage could face legal action.

Aryan Brotherhood Second-In-Command Kills Man Over $600

Lynn Rogers, considered to be an influential member of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, was guarded by 15 bailiffs during Friday’s sentencing. In addition,  several members of the jury asked for their names not to be disclosed, fearing retribution from Rogers’ lieutenants.

The 48-year-old man along with John Paul Street, 33, and Gregory Collier, 29, has been accused of orchestrating the murder of Alberto Gonzales, a 34-year-old Tango Blast gang member.

According to court documents, in July 2016, Gonzales went to Rogers’ West Hunter Ferrell Road home to purchase amphetamine.

At one point during his visit, Rogers confronted him about a missing walled with $600 in it. Gonzales swore he never touched his wallet. Rogers calmed down and settled the debt by having Gonzales mow his law for a month.

However, according to the man’s taped confession, after consuming methamphetamine, Rogers recalled the incident and began yelling at Gonzales. Shortly after,  John Paul Gregory quickly grabbed a hammer and crushed Gonzales’ legs.

Based on Street’s testimony, Rogers and Collier were the ones who tortured Gonzales to death.

Conclusion

The man’s autopsy revealed that Rogers and his accomplices repeatedly hit him with a hammer, slapped him with the side of a machete, and raped him with a broom handle.

Regrettably, Gonzales died in agony after Rogers used a power drill to perforate his skull, chest, and abdomen.

After killing Gonzales, the Aryan Brotherhood second-in-command called another associate to dispose of Gonzales’ body.

Judge Greenwood granted Michael’s eviction on Tuesday

Christina and Mark Rotondo, the New York couple who was involved in a legal battle for the last couple of weeks with their 30-year-old son, won the trial on Tuesday. Syracuse Judge Donald Greenwood granted the eviction, thus putting an end to the Rotondo family drama.

New York Couple Said Son Still Engaged in Custody Battle

On Tuesday, Judge Donald Greenwood granted Michael Rotondo’s eviction. The judge, who sided with Michael’s parents since the beginning of the trial, declared that the 30-year-old should go out and try to make a name for himself.

The Rotondos were dragged into court at the beginning of May, after Michael refused to vacate the couple’s house, despite receiving five letters and money.

Mark and Christina Rotondo declared that Michael moved in with them eight years ago shortly after he lost his livelihood. Michael was also involved in a custody battle over his son.

His parents described their son as a person who sat around all day on his devices, never doing anything. In fact, Mark and Christina told Judge Greenwood that in all those years, Michael never paid rent or helped them around the house.

The conflict between Michael and the New York couple escalated in February, soon after Mark and Christina began handing him notices.

A total of five letters were delivered to Michael; all of them ignored. In their last letter, the New York couple threatened to sue him if he did not leave the house. More than that, they’ve even offered him money and advice on how to get a job.

Conclusion

Michael’s attitude was the thing that led to his losing the trial.

After Greenwood passed sentence, Michael declared that he would be writing a letter to the couple’s attorney to ask for more time.3

Danbury Hospital Surgeons Removed 132-Pound Ovarian Cyst

May 4, 2018 By Kyle Mills Leave a Comment

Ovarian cyst

A team of surgeons, nurses, and OR technicians managed to removed a 132-pound ovarian cyst.

Surgeons from Connecticut’s Danbury Hospital established a new medical record, after removing a massive ovarian cyst which completely covered a woman’s digestive track. The surgery, which took five hours to complete, was deemed a success. Patient received a clean bill of health and was allowed to return home.

Ovarian Cyst Grew in Two Months, Surgeons Declared

Last week, the Danbury Hospital admitted a 38-year-old with a distended abdomen. A close examination revealed that the patient had a massive ovarian cyst, a benign tumor, which completely covered her digestive tract.

Dr. Vaagn Andikyan, the surgeon who performed the operation, declared that the female patient was severely malnourished as the tumor made it impossible for her to gain weight. Still, given the fact that the ovarian cyst weighed 130 pounds, the woman had to use a wheelchair to go around the house.

The lab analysis revealed that the tumor sprouted approximately two months ago and continued to grow at a rate of 10 pounds per week. When the patient was admitted, she also complained of severe pain in the lower abdomen.

During a press interview, Dr. Andikyan confessed that this was the biggest ovarian cyst he ever saw in his entire career. Before the woman was admitted to the hospital, the doctor never saw tumors bigger than 25 pounds.

The patient was rushed into the OR where Andikyan and a team of two dozen doctors, nurses, and OR technicians worked side-by-side to remove the massive formation. Five hours into the surgery, the doctors were not only able to remove the gargantuan ovarian cyst but also to reconstruct the woman’s abdomen and to save the other ovary.

Conclusion

According to Dr. Andikyan, the surgery was uneventful. As for the patient, the woman who preferred to keep her anonymity is expected to make a complete recovery. She was discharged from the hospital a few days after the surgery.

London Auction House Puts Unprecedented Jack the Ripper Note on Sale

April 27, 2018 By Kyle Mills Leave a Comment

Jack The Ripper Mitre Square Murder

Postcard presented by Grand Auctions London loosely attributed to Jack the Ripper.

London’s Grand Auctions house has recently revealed that one of the most unusual auctions is set to take place. The item on sale is a 19th-century postcard which, according to local historians, might have been written by the infamous Jack the Ripper. So far, all evidence points towards the postcard’s authenticity.

Jack, the Ripper Postcard, Donated by Former Constable to Auction House

As far as Victorian-era curiosities go, the latest item featured on Grand Auctions’ website must be, by far, the most unusual item sold by London establishment.

Measuring 2.75 by 25 inches, the postcard was addressed to the “Hight Street in Ealing Police Sergeant” and appears to have been written in fountain pen by a semi-literate individual.

The postcard, which remained in the Ealing Police Station’s archive since the 29th of November 1888, contains a blood-curdling message, vaguely attributed at that time to Jack the Ripper or to a copy-cat serial killer.

The message reads:

Beware there [sic!] two women I want here they are bastards, and I mean to have them my knife is still in good order it is a students [sic!] knife and I hope you liked the kidney. I am Jack the Ripper.

Many Victorian London historians and forensic experts have doubted the authenticity of the Ealing Police Station note, arguing that Jack the Ripper’s crimes abruptly ceased on the 9th of November, making this the work of someone who admired the murderer’s work.

However, as Jonathan Riley, a Victorian London history expert, pointed out, there’s just not enough evidence to prove or disprove the letter authenticity. One of Riley’s observations were that the mystifying postcard contained a subtle reference to Jack the Ripper’s “From Hell” letter – a sinister document that had half of a human kidney attached.

Conclusion

More than that, Riley argued that everything from the author’s handwriting to the blatant grammatical inconsistencies show that this might very well be the last note written by the madman who terrorized the Whitechapel district between August and November 1888.

Life Imprisonment for Texas Man Who Stomped Former Girlfriend’s Daughter to Death

April 26, 2018 By Kyle Mills Leave a Comment

Texas Man Convicted

Texas man sentenced to life behind bars for killing 18-month-infant.

A Texas jury recently found 24-year-old Joshua Bear guilty of first-degree murder. The man, who was accused in July 2014 of stomping to death his former girlfriend’s daughter, will spend the rest of his day behind bars. Based on court documents, the infant’s mother will also receive a 20-year prison sentence for tampering with evidence.

Texas Man Was ‘Annoyed’ By Ex-Girlfriend’s Infant, Authorities Declared

On Saturday, a Texas jury sentenced 24-year-old Joshua Beard to life in prison for the murder of an 18-month-old infant. The jury will also move forward to sentence 20-year-old Alexis Botello, Beard’s former girlfriend and accomplice.

According to court documents, in July 2014, Beard shared the same home with Botello and Tylea, the woman’s 18-month-old daughter from a previous marriage.

Far from being the perfect step-father, Beard brutalized Tylea on more than one occasion. During her police interview, Botello told the detectives that her boyfriend was irritated by Tylea’s crying, and not a day would go by without him hitting her.

However, on the day of Tylea’s mother, the Texas man took his beatings to the next level. Several hear-breaking confessions revealed that the monster hit the infant, grabbed her by the feet, and threw her across the room.

According to Botello’s testimony, the infant hit the side of a mattress before hitting the floor. Unfortunately, the Texas man did not stop there. While the child was still on the bedroom’s floor, the assailant stomped on the infant’s head and body until she could no longer breath.

Conclusion

Botello told the detectives that they’ve tried performing CPR but to no avail. Fearing the cops, the couple placed the infant’s body inside a car’s trunk, drove to a remote location, and buried her under a bridge. The baby’s body was found after a missing child’s report was filed by Botello’s relatives.

Woman Nabbed by Police for Identity Theft

April 23, 2018 By Kyle Mills Leave a Comment

Identity Theft

The woman who was recently sentenced for identity theft stole another woman’s resume and SSN to obtain a better position at her company/

A Louisiana woman was recently indicted for identity theft after the authorities discovered that the suspect stole the credentials of another woman to obtain a better position at the company she’s currently employed. The authorities were alerted after several employees claim that the woman could not fulfill the requirements of her new position.

Suspect Sentenced in Identity Theft Case Has a Long Criminal History

On Friday, a St. Tammy Parish jury found Cindy White, a Slidell resident, guilty of assuming and using another person’s identity. According to the court document, White, who’s expected to return to court on the 24th of April might be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison if found guilty.

White’s criminal records indicate that this is not the woman’s first run-in with the law, being convicted of the same crime back in 1997.

According to the authorities, White, who at that times was employed at the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Department, used her position to access and empty a colleague’s bank account.

White was arrested, charged with one count of forgery and one count of identity theft. Following a court agreement, White pleaded guilty to both charges in exchange for probation.

Interestingly enough, after 1999 police records indicate that the woman passed away, only two years after she received the court’s verdict.

White’s trail grew cold until 2015 when the woman got hired by Diversified Food and Seasonings. Disappointed by the fact that she earned $95G per year as an HR manager, White used her ‘skills’ in order to obtain a better position.

As a result, five months later, she was promoted to senior HR manager, a position that came with a $105,000 salary and other benefits.

Conclusion

However, a few weeks into her job, the company’s board not only realized that White was delegating too many of her responsibilities but utterly failed to accomplish even the simplest of tasks, despite the qualifications she wrote in her CV.

The authorities were alerted, and White arrested and charged with identity theft. According to woman’s arrest warrant, White stole another woman’s LinkedIn resume and her personal info.
