Wrongful Death Laurel County Man Admits to Killing Girlfriend

A Laurel County man has been charged with murder after deputies say he admitted to killing his girlfriend. It happened Saturday night on Hickory Road in London.

Deputies say when they arrived to the home around 11:30 p.m., they found 22-year-old Shannon Engle dead on the bedroom floor with a single gunshot wound to the head. Her boyfriend, 29-year-old Christopher Byrd, was arrested several hours later.

Friends of Engle say she was a fun-loving woman who would be there at a moments notice if they needed her. When one friend found out about her death, she says it took a while to actually sink in.

“At first I didn’t believe it. I was kind of in disbelief. But when I realized that it really did happen, I was bawling,” said friend Cassie Ludwig.

According to deputies, Byrd admitted to shooting and killing Engle after some kind of domestic dispute earlier in the night. A situation Engle’s friends say was a familiar one.

“She was always strong and she was always really against that, especially when it was someone else and she was trying to help them in their situations. But I guess when you are the victim sometimes it’s harder to do things than it is to tell someone else,” said Ludwig.

Deputies recovered a gun from the scene and Byrd was charged with murder-domestic violence. He is currently in the Laurel County Detention Center.

An autopsy will be conducted Monday.

Wrongful Death Boyfriend Arrested in Boone County Woman’s Death

After investigating the “unusual circumstances” of a Union woman’s death on June 4, Boone County officials charged and arrested the woman’s boyfriend with murder on Wednesday afternoon.

Daniel Vetter, 33, of Union, was arrested at the Kenton County Detention Center, where he was already serving a 30-day sentence for a DUI conviction from June 5. Vetter was charged with murder with a domestic violence specification, tampering with physical evidence and falsely reporting an incident.

Vetter originally called 911 on June 4 and told dispatchers he was outside his apartment on the phone with his mother when his girlfriend began banging her head on a window and went unresponsive, according to a release from the Boone County Sheriff’s Office.

Officials said Meranda Hobbs, 27, died after the incident.

“She banged her head against the window and she’s now unresponsive,” Vetter said on in the 911 tapes obtained by The Enquirer. “I’ve been trying to get her to come around for a couple of minutes and I can’t get her to and now I’m scared.

“I’m just really scared.”

Dispatchers later ask Vetter in the phone call how she hit her head on the window.

“We had been drinking this morning,” Vetter said. “It’s a long story. I was on the phone with my mother outside and I hear a big noise and she banged her head against the window and I’m calling you.”

Hobbs and Vetter were both living at the same address in the 10000 block of Turner Drive on the day of the incident, officials said.

“Unusual circumstances” surrounded the incident and led to further investigation from the Criminal Investigations Division, according to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office.

Vetter is currently being held in the Kenton County Detention Center on a $500,000 bond.

Missing Person 6 Month Old Northern CA Girl

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is among a host of agencies assisting Shasta County authorities in investigating the disappearance of a 6-month-old girl.

The case involving Ember Graham was reported earlier this week, according to the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office.

Just before 5:30 a.m. Thursday 24-year-old Matthew Graham called 911 to report his daughter missing from his residence in Happy Valley.

Graham told authorities that he last saw the baby at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, and when he woke up at 5 a.m. Thursday she was missing from her crib.

http://liarcatchers.com/missing_persons_investigations.html

Shasta County Sheriff’s investigators interviewed family members – including Matthew Graham and Jamie Lee Graham, the baby’s 19-year-old mother – and searched the area surrounding the residence where she was last seen.

The agency also deployed a multitude of various agencies, including the Child Abduction Response Unit, Shasta County Search and Rescue, California Office of Emergency Services, Redding Police, Anderson Police, California Highway Patrol, Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office, Tehama County Sheriff’s Office, Shasta County District Attorney’s Office and Shasta County Child Family Services.

An Amber Alert was not issued in this case due to the lack of information needed to meet the criteria, such as a witness to the incident, a suspect or a suspect vehicle, authorities said.

On Friday, authorities said Matthew Graham was identified as a person of interest in the case. The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office report said he had given inconsistent statements to investigators about the child’s disappearance.

That led investigators to shift their focus from the area near Graham’s home to the Clear Creek Road area – from Cloverdale Road east to Hwy 273 – also in Happy Valley.

The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office said it has increased the number of outside agencies to assist in the search for the missing infant, with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Butte County Sheriff’s Office, Napa County Sheriff’s Office, Trinity County Sheriff’s Office and Glenn County Sheriff’s Office joining the effort.

Investigators releasing a photograph of Matthew Graham’s pickup truck and are asking the public if anyone has seen the vehicle parked or driving in the Clear Creek Road area in Shasta County on Wednesday evening.

The vehicle is described as a 1990 dark blue, full-size extra cab, Chevrolet fleet side pickup with flat black paint on the side panels, black rims, no license plates and a cow bell hanging underneath the front bumper.

Shasta County Secret Witness has sent out a new reward posting up to $10,000 offered to anyone who could provide information on Ember Graham’s whereabouts or information about what lead to her disappearance.

Graham was brought into the Shasta County Jail by sheriff’s Investigators Thursday evening for a no-bail felony probation violation after he failed to disclose medication he took, pursuant to his probation terms. His probation stems from a driving under the influence and forgery conviction, officials said.

Graham has not been charged with any crimes related to the disappearance of his daughter, officials said.

Ember Graham is considered to be missing and at risk due to a seizure disorder.  According to family members, the child needs medications for her condition.

Anyone with information leading to the whereabouts of Ember Graham is asked to contact the Shasta County Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit at 530-245-6135 or Sheriff’s Records at 530-245-6025.

Information also can be sent to the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit at mcu@co.shasta.ca.us.

Pedophile Tracking Sex Offender Arrested After Being Caught With Child in Ice Cream Truck

A one-time adult sex offender is under arrest –after being caught with a child in an ice cream truck.

The incident happened on Hillcrest Avenue — an area with a lot of apartments and a lot of kids.

The suspect, 36-year-old Tylon Jarrett, is not supposed to be with anyone under the age of 16.

Back in the late 90s, early 2000s, Jarett was involved in a case and according to the Hartford Courant’s coverage, he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a minor.

http://liarcatchers.com/pedophile_tracking.html

He was sentenced to jail time and then 10 years on the sex offender registry.

On Wednesday, Hartford police alerted West Hartford PD that this suspect was in an ice cream truck in the neighborhood– when cops caught up with him he gave them a false name.

He’s being charged with criminal impersonation, interfering with an officer, and he’s likely also going to be charged with probation violation.

At the time, Jarrett was approached by the cops, there was a 13-year-old in the ice cream truck.

The 13-year-old told officers that his mother owned the truck. The mother came to the scene and took possession of the truck and took the 13-year-old home.

Tylon Jarrett has a court date on July 8. Bond was set at $10,000.
