Missing Person Labadieville, Louisiana Man Found Dead

Posted on June 11, 2013 by InvestigatorKelly

The Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office recovered the body of a man that had been reported missing on Monday.

A missing person report was filed for Michael Blanchard,51, of Labadieville, after friends and family found it strange that he did not show up for work on Monday morning and they could not reach him on his mobile phone.

Detectives pinged his mobile phone, which located the tower origin of the last signal his phone received. The results led detectives to the Grand Isle area.

Assumption Parish detectives and the Grand Isle Police Department located Blanchard’s vehicle parked at a public beach access point in Grand Isle.

Assumption Parish Sheriff Waguespack accompanied by his investigation division traveled to Grand Isle to offer any assistance needed. Assets from Grand Isle Fire Department, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office and the United States Coast Guard also arrived to assist in the search.

As night began to fall the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office Air Unit located the body of Blanchard on top of some rock jetties, which run parallel to the beach in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Blanchard’s body was recovered and transported to Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office where an autopsy has been scheduled.

Sheriff Mike Waguespack asks that if anyone has any additional information, please contact the Detectives Division at (985)526-1627.

Identity Theft Florida Man Gets 5 Years

Posted on June 11, 2013 by InvestigatorKelly

Johnny Alexander Melo, 36, of Miramar, Fla., was recently sentenced to 60 months of imprisonment followed by one year of supervised release for his involvement in an identity theft tax refund scheme. He was also ordered to pay restitution of $18,594.63 to the IRS.

Melo had earlier pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to use a false identification document, one count of possession of five or more identification documents, one count of theft of government funds, and one count of aggravated identity theft.

http://liarcatchers.com/identity_theft_investigation.html

He was charged in a 10-count indictment on October 5, 2012, which claimed that he and his co-conspirators had stolen several people’s personal identification information, then used that information to file false tax returns in at least 22 individuals’ names. When the U.S. Treasury issued tax refund checks in those people’s names, Melo had apparently attempted to cash the fraudulently obtained checks using fraudulent driver’s licenses.

Accident Reconstruction Students Injured in Jefferson County Bus Crash

Posted on June 11, 2013 by InvestigatorKelly

We’re learning more about what may have caused a school bus crash in Jefferson County that injured about three dozen students. The bus crashed on Interstate 64 near the Jefferson-Shelby County line, and it was caught on camera.

The high school students were coming back from a trip to Eastern Kentucky University. Police say on the way back, the bus may have blown a tire before crashing into the median.

Thirty-six juniors and seniors at Louisville’s Waggener High School had just spent the day visitng EKU. Dashboard camera from a semi-truck shows the exact time everything changed. At 1:37 pm, the school bus veered to the left across three lanes of interstate traffic before crashing into a concrete median, leaving behind a cloud of smashed concrete.

“She was going probably about 60 miles an hour and blew a front tire,” says the truck driver who witnessed the crash.

Amidst the sea of stretchers and bookbags, in all thirty students and four adults, including the driver, were taken to area hospitals.

“We have some broken bones. It seems several people are complaining of some jaw problems so my suspicion is probably their face hit a seat, broke a jaw,” explained Dr. Glen Franklin with the University of Louisville’s Trauma Center.

Dr. Franklin says the wounded are in satisfactory to fair conditions as of Tuesday night. Earlier they underwent X-rays, and were put in contact with their families.

Lettering on the bus indicates it belongs to Commonwealth Bus Service of Louisville.

Some students will be spending the night in the hospital after this long day.

The school trip is one in which high school juniors and seniors get to visit area colleges. A school official said in a statement that she was deeply saddened that a trip that was supposed to expose kids to the college experience ended in an accident.

Drug Dog Sweep Paso Robles Man Arrested

Posted on June 11, 2013 by InvestigatorKelly

A drug-scouting police dog with the Paso Robles Police Department helped lead to the arrest of a 49-year-old Paso Robles man Saturday night.

At approximately 10 p.m., detectives with the department’s new Special Enforcement Team arrested Leonel Zavala Sanchez on three felony charges of possession of narcotics for sales, according to police.

http://liarcatchers.com/drugdogsweeps.html

Detectives first initiated a traffic stop on Sanchez along the 2000 block of Riverside Avenue where a police dog helped search his car. That ultimately led officers to discover what appeared to be 5.7 grams of methamphetamine and 1 gram of cocaine under a backseat, according to police. They also found $1,100 in Sanchez’s personal items. A search of Sanchez’s home later found an additional $1,600, “pay-owe” records, digital scales, drug packaging and a .45 caliber pistol, police said.

Sanchez was booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail.

Insurance Fraud Former Insurance Agent Sentenced in Virginia

Posted on June 11, 2013 by InvestigatorKelly

Monday a former Charlottesville insurance agent learned the price he will have to pay for scamming people, businesses and even a Charlottesville nonprofit out of thousands of dollars.

Graham Messer, 32, will spend seven months behind bars and pay more than $60,000 in restitution to the 11 victims he scammed.

Investigators say Messer pretended to sell insurance under several company names from an office on Berkmar Drive. He took customer’s money, but never filed their policies.

http://liarcatchers.com/insurance_fraud.html

Messer accepted full responsibility for his actions, saying words can’t express how sorry he feels for his actions.

The prosecution says the outcome is fair. “The court very carefully examined what the sentencing guidelines were, which were a set of guidelines which dictate what people all across the United States get for this kind of offense. The court very carefully weighed those, the impact on the community, but also the efforts the defendant has made to accept responsibility,” said Elliott Casey, a special assistant United States attorney.

One of the victims includes The Piedmont House, a nonprofit transition home for men who have been released from prison.

Messer received more than $32,000 from this organization alone under false pretenses.

Along with the jail time and restitution, Messer will have to spend seven months confined to his home as part of his three years of supervised release.
