đź“Ť Frankfort, Illinois

A 40-year-old Illinois mother is facing a murder charge after police say her 2-year-old son was found seriously injured inside their Frankfort home on September 1.

According to court documents, a neighbor discovered 2-year-old Barrett Walsh in the basement and called 911 before attempting CPR.

Police later found Corie Walsh upstairs. According to the court filing, Walsh allegedly told officers that she harmed her son because she believed he was the “devil” and the “anti-Christ.”

The filing also says a neighbor reported finding Walsh allegedly harming herself and said Walsh had told her she was trying to kill herself. Another infant was reportedly inside the home but was not harmed.

Investigators also learned that Walsh had recently become very interested in the Lindsay Clancy trial in Massachusetts. Court documents allege that Walsh had been discussing the trial with friends through a group text message until approximately three and a half hours before the incident was discovered.

Walsh was treated at a local hospital and remained hospitalized as of September 3, according to the court filing.

She is charged with murder and is scheduled to appear in court September 8.

A frightening morning for a 93-year-old Tampa woman who deputies say woke up to find a stranger standing at the foot of her bed.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, the woman initially thought the man was her grandson. When she realized he was a stranger, she told him she needed to get up and take her medication. Deputies say the man, identified as 24-year-old Connor Norcross, then rubbed her arm and offered to get the medication for her.

The woman told him to leave, and he exited through a rear sliding glass door. Deputies say he later attempted to get back inside through the locked front door.

Investigators identified Norcross through apartment security footage. He was arrested and charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling and battery of a victim over 65.

đź“Ť Florence, Arizona
đź“ŤJacksonville, Florida

A federal case involving an Arizona foster father is drawing attention to an earlier child welfare investigation that resulted in nine minors being placed into protective custody.

Investigators allege Brian Griffeth s*xually abused a foster daughter beginning when she was 13 and recorded videos of her. The alleged abuse reportedly occurred while the family was living in Florence.

The victim was removed from the home more than a year ago after Florida child welfare workers intervened following an incident at a church camp.

Although Florida dropped the child‑abuse charges last year, the FBI Jacksonville office continued investigating Griffeth’s actions across state lines. Officials say the recordings constitute severe child s*xual abuse material, and advocates warn that foster children are among the most vulnerable to exploitation.

Griffeth was arrested last month in Arizona and is accused of both child exploitation and contacting victims through hidden online accounts. Family members claim the move to Florida was meant to avoid scrutiny from Arizona’s Department of Child Safety.

He remains in federal custody, with his next court hearing scheduled for September 11.

A 35-year-old man described by investigators as a central figure in a massive gold theft scheme targeting elderly victims has been arrested at New York’s JFK International Airport.

Authorities say Muzamil Ahmed was arrested while allegedly attempting to leave the country. He was wanted in Tarrant County on charges including organized crime, theft, financial abuse of the elderly and money laundering.

Investigators say the scheme has affected more than 200 victims in Tarrant County and worldwide, with more than 40 people indicted in connection with the operation.

According to investigators, scammers posing as victims’ banks or federal agents allegedly convinced elderly victims that their accounts were compromised. Victims were instructed to withdraw their money, purchase gold or cryptocurrency, and turn over their valuables.

Authorities say the gold was then taken to a Florida refinery, melted down and made into jewelry that was allegedly sold overseas, while money was converted into cryptocurrency and funneled out of the country.

Law enforcement officials estimate approximately $250 million has been stolen from senior citizens and say more than $130 million in gold has been seized. One victim reportedly lost $2 million.

Ahmed is accused of being a key figure in the alleged operation. The charges are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

đź“Ť Suwanee, Georgia

Gwinnett County police say a private home in Suwanee became the target of repeated trespassing after social media videos portrayed the property as an abandoned location to explore.

Officers responded to four separate incidents at the residence on Westbrook Road. Investigators said several people told police they discovered the property through TikTok and went there to explore or take photographs.

The incidents resulted in five adult arrests and seven juvenile contacts.

The adults arrested were identified as Vance Smith, Jackson White, Alexa Cruz, Arthur Silva and Nathan Nelson. Charges included criminal trespass, loitering and prowling, and giving a false name or date of birth to a law enforcement officer.

Police said some people climbed over fences or gates and entered the residence without permission. Surveillance footage was also used to identify individuals involved.

Although the home is currently unoccupied, police emphasize that it remains privately owned and is not open to the public.

Gwinnett County police are warning that a social media post describing a property as “abandoned” does not give anyone permission to enter it.

WOMAN ACCUSED OF RUNNING ILLEGAL MIAMI BODY-SCULPTING CLINIC

Miami police and Miami-Dade deputies say a woman who called herself “Dr. Lori” was actually 33-year-old Latonya Shanice Starks, a convicted felon who was not licensed to practice medicine.

Authorities say Starks operated Lori Dior Miami Med Spa in Miami’s Liberty City neighborhood and illegally performed injections marketed as body-sculpting treatments.

According to arrest reports, several women allegedly suffered pain, lumps, abscesses and scarring after receiving injections. One woman told investigators she believed complications from the treatments contributed to a miscarriage.

Detectives said Starks promoted her business on Instagram and allegedly used substances that were not approved by the FDA for the purposes they were represented to be used for.

Authorities arrested Starks following a traffic stop and said they found needles, a sharps container, bandages and packaging labeled Sculptra in her vehicle. A search of her apartment reportedly uncovered additional medical and cosmetic equipment.

Starks is facing three counts of practicing health care without a license causing serious injury and two counts of felon in possession of a firearm.
