Missing Person Body of Ohio Teen Found

On May 20, 2013 numerous sources reported that the body of missing teen Katlyn Williams had been located. However, her loved ones have been in a state of shock, seeking answers to how this missing teen ended up dead. Now reports by the Columbus Dispatch (among others) are indicating that the girl might have died from a drug overdose. Police are saying that the 14-year-old girl’s death was “probably accidental,” though the lack of certainty in the statements isn’t really promising. It should be noted, however, that no foul play is suspected.

This Central Ohio news source points out that the girl had been missing since March 26th before her body was found last week in a home in Columbus. Her foster father said that she sneaked out of her bedroom window. Bob Williams said the following:

“She had been communicating with someone online. I’d rather not say who they were.”

The unidentified person she’d been talking to is who transported her from her home, but from there it’s not known if he/she had any further involvement in the events that took place. A rape kid was performed on the missing teen’s body as well as a toxicology test, but the results of the rape kit have not been released. Her foster father added that he felt that the 14-year-old girl was in danger with this person, and he does not know the people in the home or how she ended up in the home where she was found in the first place.

This person she met online isn’t being identified, but it would be helpful if officials got to the bottom of any potential involvement. If this happens to be an adult male, there could actually be charges in the future. However, there are currently no charges pending in connection to this girl’s disappearance and death. In the meantime, this is being considered a tragic accident related to drug use.

Pedophile Tracking 70 Yr Old North Platte, Neb. Man Sentenced

A 70-year-old registered sex offender from North Platte who pleaded no contest to a new charge of child sexual assault is going to prison.

Donald Warfield was sentenced in Lincoln County District Court Monday to five years in prison.

Prosecutors say a teenage girl reported that Warfield began giving her presents and touching her inappropriately when she was about 7 years old. She said the sexual assaults became worse and continued for three or four years.

Warfield was convicted in 2002 of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old.

Court records also show Warfield was arrested last year for failing to properly register as a sex offender. He later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count and was sentenced to 30 days in jail.

Pedophile Tracking NY Man Charged in Arlington, Mass

On the run for decades – Paul Collins is now in custody, charged with sexually assaulting four children while working at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club in the late 70s. Prosecutors say the 62-year-old Collins acknowledged some of the accusations when he was arrested over the weekend in New York.

Investigators say the allegations surfaced as part of a separate investigation into claims of sexual assault by another club employee, William Sullivan, who is now dead.

http://liarcatchers.com/pedophile_tracking.html

In Cambridge District Court, prosecutors said four alleged victims in all came forward, claiming Collins had assaulted them while he was pool director and swim coach for the club. Prosecutors says Collins was fired in July of 1980 and left Massachusetts after he allegedly raped one of the victims at the youngster’s own home. The alleged victim recently told investigators that the club’s director know of the allegations and instructed Collins to leave.

The Boys and Girls Club issued a statement this weekend saying in part:

“We have been working cooperatively with the Arlington Police throughout the course of their investigation in recognition that no child should ever experience the trauma of abuse of any kind. Our thoughts and prayers are with all victims.”

Wrongful Death Body Found in Car at Minneapolis Towing Lot

A car towed from a Brooklyn Park retail parking lot with a body inside drew authorities late Monday morning to a wrecker lot near downtown Minneapolis in what authorities are characterizing as “a possible homicide.”

A vehicle from the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office was called to Wrecker Services at Glenwood and Lyndale Avenues. Officials were there scrutinizing the car, a gold Lexus with its trunk open.

http://liarcatchers.com/wrongful_death.html

A body bag was loaded onto a gurney and placed into the medical examiner’s vehicle, which then pulled out of the lot.

There is no immediate word on the identity of the body or the circumstances behind the death.

A woman who owned the car showed documents to the Star Tribune and said she sold the vehicle in January to a man who does detailing work. The man said he intended to fix it up for his girlfriend, according to the woman.

The woman added that she received a letter from the towing service that said the car had been towed on April 11 from a parking lot near Brooklyn Boulevard and West Broadway for a strip mall that includes a Rainbow Foods.

The man who bought the car, Shane James, said he worked on the car and then sold it.

“How come nobody called me about it before now?” James said.

He said he replaced the seats before selling it. He couldn’t immediately recall who bought the car, and his records of the sale were at a different location, he said.

The body was found after workers at the lot opened the trunk “due to an odor,” said Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Lisa Kiava.

Brooklyn Park Police Inspector Todd Milburn said it’s too soon in the investigation for him to say more about the case at this time.

Pedophile Tracking Taylor County Man Gets 110 Years for Child Porn

A Taylor County, Kentucky man was sentenced in United States District Court before Chief District Judge Joseph H. McKinley, Jr. to 110 years in prison, followed by a lifetime of supervised release, for violating federal child pornography laws, announced David J. Hale, United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky.

http://liarcatchers.com/pedophile_tracking.html

Tony Edwin Davis, 50, of Campbellsville, Kentucky, pleaded guilty on February 5, 2013, to a 15-count federal grand jury indictment that charged him with production and possession of child pornography. According to court records, between December 18, 2009 and November 28, 2010, on 14 occasions, Davis knowingly enticed and coerced two girls under 5 years of age to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction. Davis also pleaded guilty to one count of knowingly possessing child pornography on or about May 20, 2012.

“Today’s sentence of 110 years in a federal prison without parole should send a stark message. We are committed to fighting child exploitation and to holding accountable those who would prey upon and harm young children,” stated U.S. Attorney Hale. “I am grateful for the collaborative work of the Taylor County Sherriff’s Department, the Campbellsville Police Department, and the FBI. The Campbellsville community is a safer place.”

“Davis victimized the most innocent members of our community in a horrific manner as shown by the sentence in this case,” said Perrye K. Turner, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Lousiville. “The production of child pornography is activity that the FBI aggressively investigates. We work together with our state, local, and other federal law enforcement partners through Project Safe Childhood to help stop it.”

According to an affidavit filed by an FBI special agent in support of a criminal complaint against Davis, the FBI was contacted by the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office and Campbellsville, Kentucky Police Department on August 10, 2012, when a cell phone, formerly in the possession of the defendant, was found to have images of child pornography.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Spencer McKiness and was investigated by the FBI, the Taylor County Sheriff’s Department, and the Campbellsville Police Department.

Insurance Fraud 33 Charged in Auto Crashes in Florida

Authorities in South Florida say 33 more people have been charged in a three-year crackdown on staged auto accidents used to defraud insurance companies out of millions of dollars.

Miami U.S. Attorney Wifredo Ferrer said Thursday those charged included doctors, chiropractic clinic owners and therapists in Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. Ferrer says the group staged auto accidents between 2006 and 2012, submitting false insurance claims through 21 clinics that were part of the conspiracy.

http://liarcatchers.com/insurance_fraud.html

The charges are the latest in an investigation dubbed Operation Sledgehammer that has resulted in 92 arrests and restitution orders that $5 million be repaid to defrauded insurance companies. Ferrer says staged automobile accident fraud causes insurance rates to rise for all Florida drivers.

Charges include mail fraud, money laundering and conspiracy.
