Diddy Closing Arguments are Next | Crime Alert 6AM 06.25.25

Steven Schwally, the former marine who plowed his vehicle through a nail salon killing four says behind bars, "his goose is cooked." Shocking video released of the moments leading up to a devastating crash that claimed four lives at a nail salon on Long Island.  The horrific footage appears to show the ex-marine visibly disheveled, buying liquor, before getting behind the wheel of his SUV and allegedly turning his vehicle into a deadly battering ram.  Stephen Schwally is seen on video speeding through a parking lot at close to 80-miles-per-hour, almost hitting pedestrians in a crosswalk before charging at full-speed into the Hawaii Nail & Spa. The video appears to show no deceleration from Schwally's vehicle, and the sound of screams can be heard from the salon as customers are seen running out of other businesses to see what is happening.  Inside Hawaii Nail & Salon, four people are dead, 9 others injured, some very seriously. One of those killed is NYPD Officer, Emilia Rennhack. The 30-year-old was assigned to the 102nd precinct in Queens where her husband, Carl Rennhack, is a detective. The Rennhacks were a month away from celebrating their one-year anniversary. Emilia Rennhack was getting her nails done for a friend's upcoming wedding.  41-year-old Yan Xu, and 50-year-old  Meizi Zhang both worked at Hawaii Nail & Salon and were also killed in the crash. Yan Xu's family is seeking help in a fundraiser on GoFundMe to raise money for the care of her elderly father and her 12-year-old son, who has polio.  Kenny Chen, the manager of Hawaii Nail & Salon is among the 4 killed when the SUV crashed through the salon at nearly 80 miles per hour. Chen's wife was also at the salon at the time, and she is critically injured. She has already had one surgery with more to come, doctors say her recovery will take at least two years.  The Chen's have two children, ages ten and five, and with their father dead and the mother facing multiple surgeries and years of recovery, a GoFundMe is set up by a nephew who says with the salon their only source of income, with Kenny Chen dead and his wife critically injured, they don't know where to turn for help.  Joining Nancy Grace today:  Ben Powers - Criminal Defense Attorney, Facebook: Legal Powers PLLC, https://legalpowers.com Joseph Tremblay  - Principal engineer and accident reconstructionist at Veritech consulting engineering, www.veritecheng.com Erica Linn - National Ambassador with Mother’s Against Drunk Driving and a member of the Regional Advisory Board for MADD in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania  Dr. Kendall Crowns - Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County, Lecturer: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU  Lauren Conlin  - Podcaster/Reporter/Host- The Outlier Podcast & Co-Host of Primetime Crime on YouTube.

Jose Ibarra is indicted on nine felony counts and one misdemeanor. The misdemeanor charge is for interfering with a call for emergency help. The felony charges include malice murder, three felony murder charges, kidnapping, aggravated assault with intent to rape, aggravated battery, tampering with evidence and peeping tom. Unlike many states, Georgia doesn't have degrees of murder. Malice murder requires intent, while felony murder has a lower burden of proof and does not require intent to kill. Ibarra has pleaded not guilty to the charges The defense for Jose Ibarra aims to challenge the evidence prosecutors plan to use at trial and have filed motions attempting to incriminate evidence that was seized through a search warrant at Ibarra's home. The defense is also challenging DNA and fingerprint evidence that the prosecution says will prove Jose Ibarra murdered Laken Riley. Hearing the motions in the Clarke County Courthouse, Judge Patrick Haggard, will have to make his rulings before the case goes to trial in mid-November.  The judge has set another hearing for November first where the defense is challenging critical fingerprint identification, DNA, and social media evidence.  Defense Attorney Dustin Kirby tells the judge he needs more time to study the DNA data he recently received.

The number of lawsuits filed against Sean Diddy Combs grows.  Seven new civil lawsuits have been filed. Six of the cases are from anonymous victims’ represented by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee. Four of the accusers are male, one of the men a minor at the time of the alleged ‘White Party’ assault. Like the other alleged attacks, this one too happened at a White Party.   The victim, a 16-year-old aspiring artist, saw his invitation as a chance to rub shoulders with big names in the industry. He was shocked and confused when Combs took him aside and told him to drop his pants if he “wants to break into the industry.” Out of fear the teen eventually complied, and Combs grabbed and held his exposed penis for an extended period of time, before returning to the party, saying over his shoulder, ‘We’ll be in touch,’ as he walked away.   The remaining four John and Jane Does all allege that Sean Combs attacked them after plying them with alcohol or drugs at parties ranging from 1995 to 2021. One woman was a freshman in college when Combs locked her in a hotel room and forced her to perform oral sex on him. Another man wasn’t even a party attendee. The victim was working as a White Party security guard when Combs forced him to take a drink that the victim believes was laced, before shoving him into a van and raping him.     Another of Buzbee’s client says he lost his job at the flagship Herald Square Macy’s Department Store after reporting that Combs attacked him in the storeroom.   The seventh and most recent filing by Ariel Mitchell is on behalf of Ashley Parham, a woman who claims Combs and three other men ‘gang raped’ her for making a comment about his possible involvement in Tupac’s murder.  Ashley Parham alleges that she met Sean Combs over Facetime when a date called him in an attempt to impress her. With Combs still on the phone, Ashley comments that she isn’t impressed and has always thought he was involved in Tupac’s murder. Before they hang up, Combs tells Ashley she will “pay” for what she said. Ashley agrees to meet up with her date as his apartment, but says when she arrived, Combs and three other men were waiting with knives. Ashley says Combs threatened to kill her and raped her with a tv remote before passing her off to the other men to “use.”   In an effort to combat the lawsuits, Diddy’s attorneys want the judge to release the names of victims in order to build a defense.    Joining Nancy Grace Today:  Eric Faddis - Trial Lawyer and TV Legal Analyst, Founding Partner of Varner Faddis Elite Legal, former felony prosecutor and current criminal defense and civil litigation attorney Lynn Shaw  - Founder and Executive Director of Lynn's Warriors Dr. Bethany Marshall  - Author: "Deal Breaker, featured in hit show: "Paris in Love" on Peacock https://www.drbethanymarshall.com/ , Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter: @DrBethanyLive Tom Smith -  Former NYPD Detective, Co-Host of the GOLD SHIELDS Podcast, https://thegoldshieldshow.com, FB & Instagram: @thegoldshieldshow Dr. DeWayne Hendrix - Former Associate Warden at the MDC in Brooklyn, and Fmr.

Staff are concerned because his wife, Suzanne, is nearly 30 minutes late picking up their kindergartener and isn’t answering her phone. Simpson picks up his daughter and makes several calls, but no one has heard from Suzanne. Her co-workers confirm she wasn’t at the office. Brad Simpson reports his wife missing. Olmos Park police are searching for Suzanne Simpson, a 51-year-old mother of four. She is described as a white female, approximately 5’5” tall, weighing 140 pounds, with hazel eyes and brown hair that falls just below her shoulders. Suzanne was last seen outside her East Olmos Drive home on Sunday evening after having dinner at The Argyle, a private club in Alamo Heights. She was wearing a black short-sleeved dress, nude chunky heels, and a watch or bracelet on her right wrist. The night before, Suzanne and Brad had dinner at The Argyle. Nothing seemed unusual during the meal. However, when they returned home around 9 p.m., Suzanne called her mother, describing a physical argument with Brad. About an hour later, a neighbor heard loud arguing from the house. The noise grew louder, prompting the neighbor to look outside. They saw the Simpsons physically fighting. Suzanne, still dressed from dinner, appeared to be trying to get away, but Brad kept pulling her back. The couple eventually moved out of the neighbor’s view. Suzanne Simpson now missing.  Joining Nancy Grace today: Ben Powers – Attorney with Legal Powers PLLC, IG: legal powers/Facebook: Legal Powers PLLC Dr. Lisa Long - Forensic Psychologist and Owner of Dr. Long and Associates; FB: Dr.LongAndAssociates YouTube: @Dr.LongandAssociates  IG: @dr.lisalong Brian Fitzgibbons – VP of Operations for USPA Nationwide Security; Instagram: @uspa_nationwide_security, Kingsman Philanthropic’s 2022 rescue missions of women and children in Ukraine, Iraq War Veteranide_security Joe Scott Morgan – Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, “Blood Beneath My Feet,” and Host: “Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan;” X: @JoScottForensic Mariza Mendoza - Reporter at News 4 San Antonio / Fox San Antonio; FB: Mariza Mendoza TV; IG: @marizamendozatv    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While studying abroad in London, Amber Berbiglia meets Jose Tolsar and returns home in love. After two years of dating, they plan to marry just weeks after her college graduation. One Friday afternoon, Amber leaves her apartment to pay bills and run errands. She stops to refuel at Murphy Gas in North Charleston. Amber texts on her phone until 2:30 p.m. and is scheduled to start work at 4 p.m., but she never shows up. A co-worker calls to check on her, but the call goes straight to voicemail. Later that Friday, a 911 call reports an injured person near a car on Old Sanders Road, under the Robert Edge Parkway overpass in North Myrtle Beach. Police respond quickly, finding a woman lying next to her running car with no witnesses in sight. A cell phone, inches from her hand, is actively ringing with missed calls, texts, and emails. First responders find the woman with severe facial injuries that initially make it appear she had been shot. She had already died by the time help arrived, and no witnesses were present to explain what had happened. Investigators discover the woman’s purse inside the car with cash still intact, ruling out robbery as a motive. The victim is identified as Amber Berbiglia  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Amanda Berbiglia - Sister of Amber Berbiglia Karen Ritchie - Best Friend of Amber Barry Hutchinson Sr. -  Former 26 year law enforcement veteran and detective, owner & Chief Investigator for Barry & Associates Investigative Services located in Kansas & Missouri  Dr. Kendall Crowns – Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth) and Lecturer: University of Texas Austin and Texas Christian University Medical School Alexis Tereszchuk  -  CrimeOnline Investigative Reporter   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
