Crime Alert hourly update, breaking crime news Now. I'm Drew Nelson.
California begins requiring bars and nightclubs to offer drink lids
to customers as part of a new law meant to
stop drink spiking across the state Assembly Build twenty three
seventy five took effect on the first It requires venues
for the type forty eight liquor license, which serve alcohol
(00:21):
but not food, to provide drink lids on request. The
rule also requires signs that say quote don't get roofed
drink lids and drink spiking drug test kits available here.
Ask a staff member for details. Bars can charge what's
described as a reasonable price for the lids. They only
need to stock one size that fits at least one
(00:41):
type of drink container. Jeff Kiama is owner of side
Piece Bar. He tells KFMB they're still feeling out the
new law. I don't think we'd have the ability to
put a lid on all of our custom glassware, but
we'd probably find an option where we have a separate
set of cups that we'd able to put lids and
maybe pour their drink into. In twenty twenty two, a
survey found eighteen percent of people reported having a drink spiite.
(01:05):
A twenty sixteen study found eight percent of US college
students believe they had been drugged, and many of these
cases go unreported. People are likely to kind of be,
you know, a little careless and leave their drinks sitting around.
That leaves them open for predators. Unfortunately. San Diego police
officer Colin Steinbroner on KFMB, it creates that barrier to
that easy pill drop or drink poor that puts people
(01:26):
in danger, put people at risk. Many bar owners say
they support the new measure. At Mother Load in West Hollywood,
staff told the Los Angeles Times that adding lids was
no big deal for them. An employee said, quote, there
weren't lids here before, and now they are. Not much
has changed. It doesn't cost nothing. There's now a stack
of lids on the bar, free to patrons. Genie at
(01:47):
the Watering Hole in Claremont tells the TV station it's
an easy fix. I agree with that. Provide the lids
for the cups to prevent yourself from getting really injured
or heard by creeps. Law is set to expire in
January of twenty twenty seven. Unless lawmakers renew it. For now,
the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control is in charge
(02:09):
of enforcement. Inspectors will notify bars during routine visits if
they do not follow the rules. There will be no
special crackdowns for now, but bars that failed to comply
could risk their liquor licenses. More crime in justice news
after this, a Texas woman incriminates herself in a burglary case,
(02:33):
responding to a Facebook post that called her a thief.
The breaking happen in Wichita Falls. While homeowner Stephanie Davidson
was away on a three week trip. Her neighbors noticed
something suspicious and sent her photos of a woman allegedly
stealing from her house. Davidson was about to board a
plane when she posted the images to a local Facebook
group Wichita Falls Rants and Raves. When she landed, she
(02:54):
found a comment under the post that shocked her. Misty
Cape had replied directly, quote people need to mind their
own business. This woman called me trash just because I've
broken her house and stole some stuff. She don't even
know me. Cape has not wanted for theft of property
valued between twenty five hundred and thirty thousand dollars. David's
had returned home to a ransacked house. She said it
(03:16):
was hard to tell what was missing because of the mess.
But she also is speaking out about how the community
stepped in to support her, quote, I don't know how
I'd feel if I didn't have the support, because you'd
really do feel violated, you know, when people go and
dig through your property and steal from your kids. It's hard.
Crime stoppers and local police are still trying to locate Cape.
(03:36):
Anyone with a tip can call eight hundred two to
two two tips. Crime Stoppers may have a five thousand
dollars reward, and you do not have to give your name.

her boyfriend were transient. They had traveled the country together
for two years before arriving to Washington. She had been

one of the most notorious serial killers in US history,
Gary Leon Ridgeway, the Green River Killer. Maulhern's name is
(04:20):
not on Ridgeway's list of confirmed victims, but detectives believe
she may be one of the many still unidentified women
he murdered. Her last known location was where Ridgeway found
most of his victims. Her lifestyle and disappearance matched the
pattern seen in dozens of other cases. Doris was four eleven,
one hundred five pounds, white, with auburn hair, hazel eyes,
and burn scars on her neck, chest, arms, and belly.

last seen wearing a black leather jacket, blue jeans with
the word baby stitched in pink across the back pocket,
and white sneakers. Ridgeway admitted to murdering at least seventy
one women. He often dumped their bodies in wooded areas
around the Green River, near the air and along Pacific
Highway South. Ridgeway's hold detectives he targeted women no one
(05:05):
would miss. Some bodies were used in necrophilic acts. He
was finally arrested in two thousand and one, nearly twenty
years after his first known murder. DNA tied him to
four early victims in exchange for avoiding the death penalty.
Ridgeway confessed to forty eight murders and later led detectives
to more remains. Doris Levon Mulhern is now classified as
(05:25):
an endangered missing person. She would be sixty years old.
