Police in Bowling Green said they’re still getting tips five years after a Western Kentucky University professor’s slaying in her family’s van.

Detective Melinda Jones told The Daily News (http://bit.ly/1zVduxF ) that the department has gotten tips about the death of 51-year-old Martha “Bettina” Richmond as recently as May.

Jones said every piece of evidence sent off for forensic examination at the Kentucky State Police Crime Lab has been tested with the exception of one item. Now, Jones said, police are ready to conduct more extensive testing.

“It was just a senseless crime,” Jones said. “I do think about it every day. It’s very frustrating. There comes a lot of guilt with not being able to solve it.”

Family members found Richmond’s body inside the family’s Honda Odyessy at about 11:30 p.m. CDT Nov. 22, 2009 in the parking lot of the Bowling Green parks and recreation building.

Surveillance footage from the parks and recreation building showed Bettina Richmond leaving the facility a few hours earlier carrying a gray and black duffel bag. There was no video surveillance in the area of the parking lot where she had parked. Her duffel bag and cellphone have never been found.

Security has since been enhanced at all Bowling Green parks and recreation facilities, parks Director Brent Belcher said.

“We’ve got surveillance throughout the entire property,” Belcher said of the parks and recreation building and outside grounds. “We have added video surveillance in a number of our locations.”

The city also has a park ranger system of people who are not law enforcement personnel but who monitor parks property and provide escorts to park patrons from facilities to their cars, Belcher said.

“We want to make sure we’re doing all we can to provide a safe environment,” Belcher said. “It (the Richmond case) probably instigated some of our surveillance increases.”

An autopsy showed that Richmond, a Western Kentucky University mathematics professor, died from multiple stab wounds. She was not sexually assaulted. Days later, on Dec. 4, 2009, a postal carrier found her WKU identification badge inside a mailbox.

Evidence at the crime scene suggested she attempted to fight off her attacker, police spokesman Officer Ronnie Ward said.

Richmond was considered by her colleagues a gifted mathematician at WKU, where she and her husband, Tom Richmond, met.

At the time of her death, she was on leave from WKU – she had been flying back and forth between the United States and her native Germany to help care for her sick father.

Interest in solving the case is two-fold for police.

“We ultimately want closure for the family,” Ward said. “So not only are we looking to find her killer to solve the case, we want to give her family some rest.”

Gloversville Police are looking for missing 17-year-old Randy Robar, Jr., who may be in the Fort Plain area.

The holidays are a time when families come together, but for the family of a Scott County woman missing for more than two decades, holidays are the most painful times of the year.

Family members of Sharon Sons are pleading for answers. Sons was a beautiful 28-year-old woman who disappeared without a trace 21 years ago.

“We go through this every year at the holidays, and then in January it’s her birthday,” says Stacy Sons, Sharon’s mother.

http://liarcatchers.com/missing_persons_investigations.html

With another December around the corner, the ache of Sharon Sons’ absence grows stronger, even 21-years after she vanished.

The last time Sharon Sons was ever seen was reportedly on Cane Run Road near Russell Cave. She was walking on her way to the laundromat, but she was never seen again. Her boyfriend, Willie King, was the last person to see her.

According to King, Sharon was talking to a man before climbing into his 18-wheeler. But according to Sharon’s sister, Debbie Collins, it took King a while to tell anyone that Sharon was missing.

“He had called me and said that he had went down and filed a missing persons report on Sharon, and I said, ‘What do you mean?’ And he said, ‘Well I haven’t heard from her in two weeks.’ And I said, ‘Well, why are we just now finding out about it?'” says Collins

Police questioned and cleared Willie King, who says he had no idea what happened to his girlfriend. But Sharon’s family is skeptical.

“In the back of my mind, he knows something, or why would he wait two weeks before contacting her family,” says Collins.

The family asks that anyone with information on the disappearance of Sharon Sons call police.

Authorities in Fort Bend County have arrested nine men in connection with an online child pornography sting.

Sheriff’s Office spokesman Bob Haenel said Wednesday that officers used social media websites to lure the would-be offenders to a location where they were later arrested.

No children were harmed in the operation, Haenel said. The sheriff’s office partnered with the Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Other agencies involved include the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office, Sugar Land and Rosenberg police, Missouri City and the Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office.

Officials said the operation had a number of objectives.

Authorities wanted to identify and arrest people engaging in the solicitation or online sexual exploitation of children through social media, and also to seek out people involved in the possession and promotion of child pornography in the Fort Bend County area. Agents used file-sharing services to find people who were sharing and trading child pornography online.

Task force agents made three arrests at one location. Abdallah Darawsha, 26, ran from officials carrying $4,000 in cash when he discovered what was happening. Darawsha was captured after a car chase.

The four men facing charges of attempted sexual assault of a child and online solicitation of a minor were Joshua Nelson, 28, of Rosenberg; Dustin Sabatini, 26, of Sugar Land; James Paul Goates, 46, of Rosenberg; and Darawsha, of Houston.

Five men face felony charges of possession or promotion of child pornography: Peter Huang, 49, Stevan Solis, 49, and Adalberto Torres, 36, all of Houston; and Guadalupe Quezeda, 54, and Timothy Rodriguez, 24, both of Richmond.

Officials said Solis, Goates, Torres, Quezeda, Darawsha  and Huang have all posted bail and are no longer in custody. Nelson, Rodriguez and Sabatini are still in the Fort Bend County Jail.

In a similar case in October, Christopher Nichols, 41, was arrested after the mother of a teenage girl he was contacting through social media and allegedly had assaulted over the summer came forward to deputies. Officials assumed the victim’s identity and arrested Nichols.

Nichols later posted $240,000 bond.

“Parents really need to start getting involving in what their children are doing on social media,” said Haenel. No children were victimized during this sting.

Lexington Police have released a warrant for a man in connection with an early morning murder in Lexington.

Police are searching for Martaveus L. Bell Jr. in relation to the shooting death of 51-year-old Stacie Lillie.

Lillie was found with a chest wound, lying along East Seventh Street just before 12:30 a.m. and was taken to UK Hospital. There weren’t many witnesses to the shooting, but the few that saw the incident were able to give a description of a vehicle fleeing the scene.

Persons with additional information about this case or the whereabouts of the suspect are asked to contact the Lexington Division of Police immediately.

http://liarcatchers.com/wrongful_death.html

Tips can be phoned into: the Division of Police at (859)258-3600, the Robbery/Homicide Unit at (859)258-3700 or Bluegrass Crime Stoppers at (859)253-2020. You can also submit tips by cell phone. Simply text: “tips2020” plus your message to CRIMES (274637).

The Fayette County coroner’s office said the woman found with a gunshot wound to the chest early Friday morning on a Lexington street has died.

The coroner says 51-year-old Stacie Lillie died of a gunshot wound. She was found shot on East Seventh Street just before 12:30 a.m. and taken to UK Hospital.

There weren’t many witnesses to the shooting, so police don’t have much to go by for a suspect at this time. However, they were able to get a vague description of the car the suspect was driving.

http://liarcatchers.com/wrongful_death.html

About 30 minutes later, officers were tipped off to a home just down the street from where the victim was found and they were hoping someone inside had information on the shooting.

It took a while for police to get inside the home because they believed there were weapons inside.

Officials say one ma, identified as 32-year-old Jonathan Conner, walked out on his own and was arrested on an unrelated charge.

Police say a woman inside the home was taken to police headquarters to make a statement in connection with the shooting.

Police continue searching for the person who shot the victim.
