Ronald Gene Simmons "CHRISTMAS FAMILY INCEST MASSACRE" murders

Ronald Gene Simmons "CHRISTMAS FAMILY INCEST MASSACRE" murders

Ronald Gene Simmons "CHRISTMAS FAMILY INCEST MASSACRE" murders On December 22, 1987, Ronald Gene Simmons began a killing spree that would be the worst mass murder in Arkansas history and the worst crime involving one family in the history of the country. His rampage ended on December 28, 1987, leaving dead fourteen members of his immediate family and two former coworkers. Ronald Gene Simmons was born on July 15, 1940, in Chicago, Illinois, to Loretta and William Simmons. On January 31, 1943, William Simmons died of a stroke. Within a year, Simmons’s mother married again, this time to William D. Griffen, a civil engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The corps moved Griffen to Little Rock (Pulaski County) in 1946, the first of several transfers that would take the family across central Arkansas over the next decade. On September 15, 1957, Simmons dropped out of school and joined the U.S. Navy. His first station was Bremerton Naval Base in Washington, where he met Bersabe Rebecca “Becky” Ulibarri, whom he married in New Mexico on July 9, 1960. Over the next eighteen years, the couple had seven children. In 1963, Simmons left the navy and approximately two years later, he joined the air force. During his twenty-two-year military career, Simmons was awarded a Bronze Star, the Republic of Vietnam Cross for his service as an airman, and the Air Force Ribbon for excellent marksmanship. Simmons retired on November 30, 1979, at the rank of master sergeant. On April 3, 1981, Simmons was being investigated by the Cloudcroft, New Mexico, Department of Human Services for allegations that he had fathered a child with his seventeen-year-old daughter, Sheila. Fearing arrest, Simmons fled first to Ward (Lonoke County) in late 1981 and then to Dover (Pope County) in the summer of 1983. The family took up residence on a thirteen-acre tract of land that would become known as “Mockingbird Hill.” The residence was constructed of two older-model mobile homes joined to form one large home and was surrounded by a makeshift privacy fence, as high as ten feet tall in some places. The home did not have a telephone or indoor plumbing. Simmons worked a string of low-paying jobs in the nearby town of Russellville (Pope County). He quit a position as an accounts receivable clerk at Woodline Motor Freight after numerous reports of inappropriate sexual advances. He went to work at a Sinclair Mini Mart for approximately a year and a half before quitting on December 18, 1987. Evidence indicates that Simmons bludgeoned and shot his wife on December 22, 1987. Simmons also bludgeoned and shot his visiting son, twenty-nine-year-old Ronald Gene Simmons Jr. He then strangled his three-year-old granddaughter. All three bodies were later found in a shallow pit Simmons had instructed the children to dig months before for a third family outhouse. Later the same day, the Dover school bus dropped off the younger Simmons children for their Christmas break from school. Based on crime scene investigation, it is believed the Simmons children (ages seventeen, fourteen, eleven, and eight) were separated and killed individually, by strangulation and/or drowning in a rain barrel. Their bodies, too, were found in the hole for the outhouse. The older Simmons children had been invited to the Simmons home on December 26, 1987, for an after-Christmas dinner. Twenty-three-year-old William H. Simmons II, his twenty-one-year-old wife, Renata May Simmons, and their twenty-month-old son, all of Fordyce (Dallas County), were likely the first to arrive. William and Renata were shot, and their bodies were left by the dining room table, and covered with their own coats and some bedding. The child was killed and placed into the trunk of a car behind the Simmons home. Next to arrive were Simmons’s twenty-four-year-old daughter, Sheila, and her husband, thirty-three-year-old Dennis Raymond McNulty, as well as their children, seven-year-old Sylvia (the daughter of Sheila and her father) and twenty-one-month-old Michael. Sheila was shot, and her body was laid on the dining room table and covered with a tablecloth. Simmons shot Dennis and strangled Sylvia. Michael was strangled and placed into the trunk of yet another parked car. Later this same day, Simmons drove to Russellville, where he stopped at a Sears store and picked up Christmas gifts that had been ordered but had not made it in before the holiday. Later that night, he drove to a private club in Russellville. Then he went home and waited out the weekend. On Monday, December 28, 1987, Simmons drove a car that had belonged to his son, Ronald Jr., to Russellville. He purchased a second gun from Walmart Inc. His next stop was the Peel, Eddy and Gibbons Law Firm. After entering the building, Simmons shot and killed receptionist/secretary Kathy Cribbins Kendrick. He next went to the Taylor Oil Company, where he shot and wounded Russell “Rusty” Taylor, the owner of the Sinclair Mini Mart where he had worked, and then shot and killed J. D. (Jim) Chaffin, a fireman and part-time truck driver for Taylor Oil. Simmons shot at and missed another employee before exiting the building. Simmons then went to the Sinclair Mini Mart, where he shot and wounded Roberta Woolery and David Salyer. His last stop was the Woodline Motor Freight company. Simmons located his former supervisor, Joyce Butts, and wounded her in the head and chest. He then took worker Vicky Jackson at gunpoint into the computer office and advised her to phone the police. Simmons allegedly told Jackson: “I’ve come to do what I wanted to do. It’s all over now. I’ve gotten everybody who wanted to hurt me.” He surrendered to Russellville police when they arrived. Simmons was sent to the Arkansas State Hospital in Little Rock (Pulaski County) for a competency evaluation by staff psychiatrist Dr. Irving Kuo. Kuo found Simmons to be sane and capable of standing trial. Robert E. “Doc” Irwin and John Harris were appointed by the court to represent Simmons. The prosecuting attorney was John Bynum. Jury selection for the first trial took less than six hours. Simmons was convicted on May 12, 1988, in the Franklin County Circuit Court for the deaths of Kendrick and Chaffin. On May 16 Judge John Samuel Patterson sentenced Simmons to death by lethal injection plus 147 years. Simmons refused all rights to appeal. Simmons was found guilty of fourteen counts of capital murder in the deaths of his family members on February 10, 1989, in the Johnson County Circuit Court, with Judge Patterson presiding. Bynum offered a possible motive when he presented an undated note that was discovered in a safe deposit box at a Russellville bank after Simmons’s arrest. The letter seemed to indicate a strong love/hate relationship between Simmons and his daughter Sheila. After the judge ruled the letter admissible, Simmons lashed out at Bynum, punching him the face, and then unsuccessfully struggled for a deputy’s handgun. Officers rushed him out of the courtroom in chains. Simmons was sentenced to death by lethal injection on March 16, 1989. He again waived all rights to appeal. KTHV reporter Anne Jensen conducted a series of interviews with Simmons in February and March 1989. On March 1, 1989, Simmons was found competent to waive his rights to appeal his conviction. However the filing of Whitmore v. Arkansas challenged this right. Reverend Louis Franz and Jonas Whitmore contended that Simmons using his right to refuse appeal in fact jeopardized the appellate rights of other death row inmates. By 7–2 vote, the Supreme Court justices threw out this appeal; however, the ongoing legal proceedings had prevented the execution of Simmons from being carried out. Simmons was watching television and eating what he thought would be his last meal when the news of his stay of execution was announced. On May 31, 1990, Governor Bill Clinton signed Simmons’s second execution warrant for June 25, 1990. This was the quickest sentence-to-execution-to-death time in United States history since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. Simmons refused all visitors, including legal counsel and clergy. His last words were: “Justice delayed finally be done is justifiable homicide.” No family members claimed the body, so Simmons was buried in a paupers’ plot at Lincoln Memorial Lawn in Varner (Lincoln County).

Brendt Allen Christensen Full Length Police Interrogation

Brendt Allen Christensen Full Length Police Interrogation

Brendt Allen Christensen Full Length Police Interrogation The kidnapping and murder of Yingying Zhang occurred on June 9, 2017 when Zhang, a visiting Chinese scholar at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, was abducted by Brendt Allen Christensen, a Champaign resident and former physics graduate student at the university. Christensen lured Zhang into his car at a bus stop on campus with the promise of a ride after she missed a bus, but then took her to his apartment where he raped and murdered her while his wife was out of town for the weekend. On June 30, 2017, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested and charged Christensen in federal court. Christensen was convicted of one count of kidnapping resulting in death and two counts of making false statements to agents of the FBI, for which he received a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole on July 18, 2019. On the afternoon of June 9, 2017, Zhang was traveling on a Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (CUMTD) bus in Urbana, Illinois, to an off-campus apartment complex where she was planning to sign a new apartment lease. She was running late and sent a text message to the leasing agent at 1:39 p.m. to inform them that she would arrive at approximately 2:10 p.m. After riding on one bus, she exited at 1:52 p.m. and tried to transfer to another. However, because she was on the wrong side of the street for boarding, the bus did not stop after she attempted to flag it down. The CUMTD stated it is against company policy to stop for pedestrians on the wrong side of the street, as to do so would encourage them to run into oncoming traffic. Zhang then walked to another bus stop a few blocks away at the corner of North Goodwin Avenue and West Clark Street, directly in front of the university's PBS radio and television station, WILL. Surveillance video cameras showed that a black Saturn Astra passed by her at 2:00 p.m. as she waited at the bus stop, and then circled back around and stopped where she was waiting at 2:03 p.m. She spoke to the driver for approximately one minute, and then entered the car. The leasing agent sent a text message to her at approximately 2:38 p.m., but received no reply. As the hours passed, Zhang's friends, aware of her errand and expecting her to return quickly, grew increasingly worried. At 9:24 p.m., an associate professor called police to report her missing. Investigators were unable to discern the license plate number of the vehicle from security camera footage. However, they determined that there were 18 four-door Saturn Astras registered to owners in the Champaign County area. One of these vehicles was registered to Brendt Allen Christensen, a Champaign resident. Christensen, born June 30, 1989, is a former Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in math and physics and graduated with a master's degree in physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 2017. Before starting graduate school, he married Michelle Zortman in March 2013. Investigators interviewed Christensen on June 12,and i nspected his car. When questioned, Christensen reportedly claimed that he did not remember what he was doing at the time of Zhang's disappearance. He later told investigators that he may have been sleeping, or at home playing video games.[1] On June 14, investigators reviewed the surveillance video footage and observed that the car's sunroof was similar to the one on Christensen's car. They also noted that the car in the video had a cracked hubcap and, upon reinspecting Christensen's car, found that it had a cracked hubcap. They concluded that the car in the footage belonged to Christensen.[1] On June 15, local police and FBI investigators questioned Christensen and executed a search warrant for his car. The black Saturn Astra was initially towed to a secure bay at the Champaign Police Department, and on June 18 was transported to the FBI Springfield Division's main office in Springfield, Illinois. Investigators noted that the passenger door of his car "appeared to have been cleaned to a more diligent extent than the other vehicle doors", which they said "may be indicative of an attempt or effort to conceal or destroy evidence". During questioning on June 15, Christensen admitted that he had given an Asian female a ride,] but said that he dropped her off after only a few blocks when a wrong turn caused her to panic.Concurrent with this questioning, agents at Christensen's apartment sought and obtained written permission from another occupant of the residence for search and seizure of items at the residence. brent christensen,brent,christensen,christiansen,christianson,full interrogation,interrogation,yingying zhang,university of illinois,champaigne urbana,asian,college,asian student,murder,murderer,stalking,true crime,interrogations,champaign-urbana,u of i murder,student murder,college murder,brendt chrisensen,ying ying zhang,duffel bag

The Murder Of Mary Ann Murphy [True Crime Documentary]

The Murder Of Mary Ann Murphy [True Crime Documentary]

The Murder Of Mary Ann Murphy [True Crime Documentary] The Murder Of Mary Ann Murphy True Crime Documentary On July 16, 2012, the body of Mary Ann Murphy, 48, was found stabbed to death in bed in her family home in Humble, Texas. It was a little after 1 a.m. Keri, Mary Ann's daughter, dialed 911 with a panicky call. She informed them that someone had kicked in the back door, and that she had run out of the house after hearing her mother scream. The stab wounds were numerous and extensive. She'd been stabbed a total of 70 times. Her legs, arms, hands, neck, and face were all covered in blood. It was clear that this was a particularly severe assault. Zein Ahmed, a classmate of Murphy's daughter, was the first suspect in a murder inquiry into the savage attack on Murphy, who was sleeping at the time. According to Keri Murphy's brother Scott, investigators identified a motivation when they discovered that Mary Ann Murphy had barred Keri from speaking with her lover Rebecca after Keri's father spotted them together in the house alone. After Keri was grounded, Rebecca allegedly handed her a cell phone so she could connect with her. They called it "bunny phone". The reality would soon be revealed: the ladies would continue to converse while awaiting trial, maybe unaware that their phone talks were being recorded. Rebecca, not Keri, had stabbed them, according to their chats. Rebecca Keller and Keri Murphy did not go to trial. Rebecca was sentenced to 60 years in prison and Keri was sentenced to 30 years. Keri and Rebecca appear to be friends and in touch, despite the fact that they are no longer together as a couple. the murder of mary ann murphy,true crime,crime documentary,crime documentaries,rebecca keller,keri murphy and rebecca keller,keri murphy

The Murder Of Tania Furlan [True Crime Documentary]

The Murder Of Tania Furlan [True Crime Documentary]

The Murder Of Tania Furlan [True Crime Documentary] Tania Furlan was discovered beaten to death in her Howick house in July 1996. H her six-week-old daughter, Tiffany, had gone missing but was subsequently discovered abandoned outside the Royal Oak Baptist Church, 18 kilometers distant from the family home. Lewis, the murderer, was thought to have planned to kidnap Tania and hold her for ransom in order to extract money from her husband. Lewis has denied killing Tania, and the matter will not go to trial. Lewis's lawyer, David Jones, has expressed doubts about whether Lewis was guilty or framed, but police have stated that they are confident Lewis was the murderer. A police witness, whose name has been withheld, said earlier this year during a depositions hearing that Lewis confessed to the murder, claiming he had pretended to be a delivery guy. Tania allowed him in, and he pulled out a hammer and instructed her to lie down on the floor. He reportedly punched her with the intention of simply knocking her unconscious, but realized he had struck her too hard. He then struck her many times more. Because the evidence in this case will never be heard, there may be concerns about Lewis' culpability, but a study into Lewis' past indicates a proclivity for serious criminal behavior. On the afternoon of September 23, 1997, Christopher John Lewis was found dead in his cell by Auckland Mt Eden prison staff. Lewis, 32, had electrocuted himself with television aerial cables. Few New Zealanders will be saddened by his death. Lewis was being held on remand while awaiting trial for the murder of Tania Furlan. the murder of tania furlan,furlan,tania,killed,murder,murdered,prison,new zealand,documentary now,documentary channel,crime documentary,documentary killer,documentary mystery,the murders of tania furlan,tania furlan,real crime documentary,real crime,murders of tania furlan,crime documentary 2021,tania furlan real crime,true crime,true crime daily

18-Year-Old Woman is Arrested for DUI and has a Major Meltdown

18-Year-Old Woman is Arrested for DUI and has a Major Meltdown

18-Year-Old Woman is Arrested for DUI and has a Major Meltdown On September 17, 2023, Cuyahoga Falls Police Officer Williams spotted a vehicle that allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign. The police report claims he attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle, but the female driver, who just turned 18-years-old 12 days prior, took an exceptionally long time to stop the vehicle. Officer Williams would later claim that he could smell alcohol emanating from the vehicle. He asked the woman to step out of the vehicle in order to perform standardized field sobriety tests (FSTs). She initially denied consuming any alcohol, but later confessed to drinking one drink. She was arrested for DUI and was placed in the back of Officer Williams' patrol vehicle. That is where the in-car camera caught her massive meltdown. The entitled woman was so concerned about not getting into college or losing her scholarship, that she concluded her life was over. At the police station, she submitted to an evidentiary breath test (EBT) and, according to the police report, the result was 0.06% BAC, which is over the legal limit for someone under 21-years-old. She was cited for DUI and failing to stop at a stop sign.
