Diddy Closing Arguments are Next | Crime Alert 6AM 06.25.25

January 31, 2013, a 911 call comes in: the caller tells the operator that a man has been shot. Around 9 a.m., five shots were fired and seconds later, 3 more shots were fired. Police arrived at the crime scene swiftly and find the chief assistant district attorney for the Kaufman County Criminal District Attorney's Office Mark Hasse bleeding. No traces were left at the crime scene, not even a bullet casing. The only evidence is eyewitnesses. One witness said the shooter was completely dressed in black, and after firing the shots, jumped into the back seat of the white sedan and disappeared. Another witness,  according to Medium.com, said he heard Hasse shouting loudly “No, no, I’m sorry.” Hasse dies. Just two months after, Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse is gunned down. Kaufman County Criminal District Attorney Mike McLelland, and his wife, Cynthia McLelland, plan an Easter dinner for friends and family. Dallas police officer CJ Tomlinson is a family friend, and his mother is supposed to drop off vegetables for Cynthia McLelland to prepare for dinner. When she doesn't get the McLellands on the phone, she asks her son to check on the couple. Tomlinson and his stepfather go to the McLelland home. The front door is open and shell casings are on the entryway floor. Mike and Cynthia McLelland, both have been shot dead. One of the shots was directly into Cynthia McLelland's head. Tomlinson describes the scene as a "home invasion" style assault. Mark Hasse and Mark McLelland acted as prosecutors in former judge Eric Williams' felony theft Case. That history put him on the police radar. When officers checked his internet search history, they found that Williams had been actively searching for information on Mark Hasse and Mike McLelland. Documents were found on a white sedan, issued in a false name, and the login and password for an account that had been leaving anonymous messages for police about the murders were found, but there was not enough evidence to charge him with the murders.   Then came a break. An acquaintance of Eric Williams’ says that he had been asked to rent a garage in his name. Police find the white sedan in the garage, as well as police uniforms, badges,  weapons, and even homemade napalm.  There were also more than 30 guns,  but there was no weapon matching the one that shot the victims. And there was still one question to be answered: If the suspect jumped into the back seat to speed away from the crime scene, who was driving? Kim Williams was driving. She was Eric Williams' wife. She confesses to the police. The pair are convicted. Eric Williams gets the death penalty, which he has appealed repeatedly.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Judge Erleigh Wiley -  Kaufman County Criminal District Attorney (name appeared on Eric Williams' 'hit list');  Author of, “Target on My Back: A Prosecutor’s Terrifying Tale of Life on a Hit List”   Alan Bennett – Former Assistant District Attorney; Partner at Gunter, Bennett, and Anthes Caryn L.

Jennifer Dulos and Fotis Dulos marry in 2004. Thirteen years later, the marriage fails, and the couple file for divorce. The circumstances are anything but amiable. Hundreds of motions are filed during the two-year proceedings. In 2017, Jennifer Dulos files for an emergency order for full custody of their five children. She alleges that her husband's behavior is "irrational, unsafe, bullying, threatening and controlling. She says she is afraid for not only her safety but the physical and emotional well-being of the children. Moving forward to the Friday before Memorial Day, Jennifer Dulos drops her children off at school near her New Canaan Connecticut home. She had an 11 a.m. appointment that morning, which she missed. No one hears from her for 10 hours. That night, Jennifer Dulos is reported missing by her family and friends, and the search begins. When investigators arrived at Jennifer Dulos’ home, blood stains were visible not only on the garage floor but garbage cans and a car parked in the garage. The car in the garage was not the Chevy Suburban the mom was known to drive. Police initiated a search for her vehicle. A little over an hour later and just three miles from the home, officers find the abandoned Suburban by Waveny Park. It contains blood evidence too. Back at the home, investigators determine that someone tried to clean the concrete floor. Officers canvas the park, hand out fliers, use canines, and do aerial searches. And most dramatically, perform video searches of local CCTV cameras. Surveillance cameras capture a man appearing to be Fotis Dulos disposing of garbage bags in as many as 30 receptacles in the area. A woman can be seen in the passenger seat of the man's car. Police recover clothes and household items with Jennifer Dulos' blood on it, in trash cans around Hartford. Specifically, the bags contained women’s clothing, plastic zip-ties, and a white T-shirt; all of the items were stained. Police also find a stained utility knife, a bath towel, and cleaning items such as a kitchen sponge. The woman in the vehicle with Fotis Dulos is identified as his live-in girlfriend Michelle Troconis. Police search warrants say Michelle Troconis identified photos of the surveillance videos as Fotis Dulos and admitted that she was the woman pictured. She confirmed multiple stops were made to discard bags, but she denies knowing what was in them. Fotis Dulos and Troconis, 44, are arrested, and charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and hindering prosecution. They both pleaded not guilty.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Mark Sherman - Managing Partner of Mark Sherman Law,  Dr. Jeff Kieliszewski -Forensic Psychologist, Author: "Darksides;" YouTube: Dr. Jeff Kieliszewski Robin Dreeke – Behavior Expert & Retired FBI Special Agent / Chief of the FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program; Author: “Sizing People Up: A Veteran FBI Agents Manual for Behavior Prediction;” Twitter: @rdreek Dr. Kendall Crowns – Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth) and Lecturer: University of Texas Austin and Texas Christian University Medical School Jeff Gentry – Forensics-Crime Scene Investigator, Certified bloodstain pattern analyst and death investigator, fmr. toxicology lab analyst; Author: “A Visual Guide to Bloodstain Pattern Analysis: Bloodstain Pattern Analysis for Death and Crime Scene Investigators;” TikTok: @jeffreygentryBPA, Facebook: Jeff Gentry Bloodstain Pattern Analyst Jen Smith - Chief Reporter for DailyMail.com; Twitter: @jen_e_smith   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Bryan Kohberger’s defense team tries again to get a judge to toss out the indictment against Kohberger, the home where the four murders took place is now gone. The clapboard house located at 1122 King Road, Moscow has been torn down, with the entire front of the building razed from sight in roughly 15 minutes. According to school officials, demolition was set for during the school's winter break, when fewer students would be in the area. It took just 90 minutes in total, for the home to become a pile of rubble. The debris, loaded up by two contractors, was taken to a secret area for disposal. The site was combed for not a single item to be left behind for the curious to find and keep as a macabre souvenir. One local who wished to remain anonymous said 'They want nothing left for ghouls to plunder.' Some, however, are still concerned that the best evidence in this case is now gone.  The home was scanned using 3D imaging to allow the jury to be brought into the home and take a virtual tour where they wouldn't have been able to go. The families of the four students killed in the house on King Road were not in agreement on the demolition. The Goncalves and Kernodle families issued a statement before the demolition, asking the university to wait to tear the building down until Kohberger's trial is completed. The Goncalves' family said through their attorney, that the house “has evidentiary and emotional value." In the statement, Goncalves wrote, "The family has stressed tirelessly to the Prosecution and the University of Idaho the importance (evidentiary and emotionally) that the King Road house carries but nobody seems to care enough." She adds that the “families' opinion isn't a priority.” The family of Ethan Chapin, who did not live there, offered its support for the demolition. In their statement, the Chapins said the demolition was needed  "for the good of the University, its students (including our own kids), and the community of Moscow."

A woman calls police saying that she has been held prisoner for five years, by a man who offered to help her at a time when she was panhandling. Police first made contact with her in April of 2023. Using the texting app TextNow, she called 911. According to KPRC, police rescued the woman from the garage. Reportedly, the approximately 30-year-old victim weighed about 70 pounds and according to officers, looked extremely malnourished and filthy. She stated she had not showered in two months. I Investigators went inside the garage and found a broken toilet, a dirty mattress covered in fresh vomit, a box of chips, a few Twinkies, clothes, and diapers. The woman told police there was no shower in the garage, so she would be taken inside the home from time to time. Police took the woman to the hospital for treatment, but reports say the man showed up and took her back to his home. The suspect has been identified as Lee Carter, a Houston rapper known as "The Viper." His 2008 song, “You’ll Cowards Don’t Even Smoke Crack,” garnered over 4 million views on YouTube. Reportedly he is also a real estate broker. According to corporate records and the Texas Real Estate Commission, he owns and operates a moving company in Houston. That company is registered to the address where he allegedly held the woman. Fox News reports a warrant was filed against Carter in April, but his arrest at a local motel did not happen until the last few days. Carter, 52, has been charged with aggravated kidnapping. Officials have not given a reason for the nine-month gap between the April incident and the arrest. It is unknown what happened with the victim's pregnancy while she was held captive.
