Crime Art hourly update, breaking crime news Now.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm Jackie Howard's. Five bodies surfaced in Houston byous in
just one week, unleashing public fear of a serial killer here.
Houston Mayor John Wickmore, we have.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Challenges, We're meeting those challenges, but a serial killer leos
in Houston is not one of our challenges today, and
I would hope that you would spread that word.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
The latest fine marked the fifth body recovered between September
fifteenth and twentieth, bringing the total for twenty twenty five
to fourteen. The bodies found in multiple waterways, including White
Oak Brays and Green Bayous. Social media users speculating conspiracy theories,
but the Houston Police Department dismisses the claims, saying there
(00:49):
is no evidence linking the deaths. Officials point to a
mix of tragic causes, including accidental drownings, suicide, and natural deaths.
City officials say their recent heavy downpours, which dumped up
to eight inches of brain last week alone, swelled the
byus and likely dislaudnged the remains. One of the victims
(01:09):
was idd as twenty year old University of Houston student
Jade McKissick. Though HPD says no foul play is suspected
in her death. As for the other cases, the cause
and manner of death are pending a determination by the
Medical Examiner's Office. Officials confirmed there have been fourteen bodies
pulled from the Houston BYUS this year. Last year, twenty
(01:32):
four were reportedly pulled from the waterways. As the investigations
continue and online panic swells, HPD urges residents to stay
alert and reports suspicious activity. More crime and Justice news
after this.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I'm Nicole parton. As the investigation into the death of
Celeste Revest unfolds, homicide detectives are delving deeper into the
details surrounding her tragic death. Celeste, whose remains were discovered
in the trunk of a Tesla registered to musician David
earlier this month in Los Angeles, has raised numerous questions
(02:14):
in the wake of her discovery. The Los Angeles County
Medical Examiner confirmed the identity of the fifteen year old
girl days after her body was found on September eighth
at the impound lot, but the exact cause and manner
of death are still being examined. Authorities were alerted to
the scene after a strong unpleasant odor emanated from the vehicle,
(02:36):
which is owned by the twenty year old singer David
Anthony Burke, also professionally known as David D four VD.
Forensic expert and host of the hit podcast Body Bags,
Joseph Scott Morgan explains the breakdown of what was happening
to young Celeste's body inside that Tesla.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
If you look at the flyer that they put out
when she was missing, you notice her weight. It was
one twenty when they recovered her remains seventy one pounds.
It's forty nine pounds she's missing. So what can we
determine from that, Well, we've heard reports of dismemberment and
there was one report from the police that said the
(03:18):
body was not intact. So either we're missing something or
she's in such an advanced state of decomposition. And look,
I don't want to go too far over the top here,
but bodies do have a tendency to break down and
even loquify to a certain degree. And in this heat,
and I even remember in August, I've got friends in
La and they were talking about it was a record
(03:39):
breaking heat wave that they were in during this specific
period of time.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
The Riverside County Sheriff's Office later informed NBC News that
Revas had been reported missing in twenty twenty four from
Lake Eleanor, California. The Riverside County Police Department later informed
NBC News that the girl had been reported missing in
twenty twenty four. Family and friends have remembered her through
a GoFundMe campaign describing her as cherished daughter, a cousin,
(04:06):
and a friend. A report by the Los Angeles Times
revealed that Rives had reportedly gone missing at least three
times that year, with some local residents stating she had
run away previously again. However, her last known location remains uncertain.
While the singer David has not been declared a suspect
or charged with any crime, a spokesperson for the Los
(04:29):
Angeles Police Department indicated that on September eighteen that detectives
executed a search warrant at the residence linked to the singer.
According to law enforcement sources, this residence is where David
had been residing. The spokesperson mentioned that multiple pieces of
evidence were collected and that investigators are pursuing various leads.
(04:51):
The LA Times reported that among the items taken from
the home were electronics and computers. A representative for David
previously told in Los Angeles that the artist was aware
of the situation and fully cooperating with law enforcement. However,
David's reps have not released further information. Investigators have not
(05:12):
disclosed any info regarding a potential connection between David and Revas. Interestingly,
the medical examiner noted that Revis had a tattoo on
her right index finger reading SHHH, which matches a tattoo
that David also has on the same finger, as seen
in a photo taken in twenty twenty four. Authorities have
(05:33):
yet to address the significance, if any, of the matching tattoos. David,
who also gained his recognition for songs like Here with
Me in Romantic Homicide, released his debut album Withered in
April twenty five. Following the shocking discovery, he canceled the
remainder of his US tours.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
I'm Jennifer Gould. A single puff from an e cigarette
sparked a life altering act of brutality in a tenpee
Arizona apartment, where a thirty two year old man allegedly
beat his girlfriend so savagely her face was left unrecognizable.
Here's the prosecutor in court.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
This was an extremely vicious attack. The victim was beaten
beyond recognition.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
She had thirty six documented injuries to her head alone.
She required significant medical intervention.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Cops say Nicholas Manquilo flew into a rage after he
discovered the woman his romantic partner, had used his vape
while he was in the shower. The victim was hospitalized
with thirty six documented injuries to her head alone, including
a fractured hand and a shattered eye socket. The vicious
(06:47):
attack unfolded at the couple's apartment. Prosecutors revealed in a
bond hearing that Vanquilo, enraged after noticing a puff was
missing from his vape, grabbed the woman, slammed her against
a living room wall, and unleashed a barrage of punches
to her face and body. The violence escalated as he
(07:09):
dragged her into a bathroom, threw her on the floor,
and began to strangle her until she nearly lost consciousness.
The brutality continued, with Vanquilo allegedly brandishing a handgun, pressing
the barrel to her forehead, and hurling a derogatory slur
at her in a twisted attempt to cover up the crime.
(07:30):
He then forced the bloodied and broken woman to shower,
scrubbed the blood from the floors, and dispose of her
torn clothing. The victim, seizing a moment, was able to
finally flee the apartment and drive to a nearby in
and out burger, where she called police and was met
by paramedics. Nquilo, who has a documented history of domestic
(07:53):
violence and once boasted to the victim about ties to
an outlaw motorcycle gang, surrendered without resistance. He faces multiple felonies,
including aggravated assault and strangulation. The prosecutor requested a high
cash bail, with a judge setting his bond at one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Ben Quilo remains in custody
(08:16):
at the Fourth Avenue Jail as the investigation in ten Years.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
I'm Drew Nelson, an Oklahoma woman loses all four limbs
after a brutal dog attack in oak Mulgi. Janelle Scott
was mauled by two pitbulls on September ninth while on
her way to see a friend. Her boyfriend was with
her and tried to fight the dogs off, one of
the dogs turned on him, and he killed it in
self defense. Police said the dog's owner was in jail
at the time and a friend had been watching them.
(08:44):
Officers later found Scott in a wooded area with what
they described as significant and severe injuries and rushed her
to the hospital. Scott first lost her right arm and
left leg. Within days, doctors amputated her other arm and leg.
Her mother, Cheryl, spoke to Koki, saying every day is nightmarish,
but her daughter is determined to fight.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Every day that she has to go to surgery. It's
a bit hard. I was wondering, you know, how much
more can they do. I mean, when she lost all
her limbs, I thought, okay, well, now her body's going
to be able to heal.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
Cheryl explains that her daughter knew the dogs and did
not expect such a violent attack.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Where her friend lives. You have to go through a
little wooded area to get up there. I guess he
lives in a camper or something, and so she was
going up that way when the dogs came out and
attacked her, and she knew the dogs and they knew her.
Speaker 8 (09:31):
Janelle told her mom she knew the situation was dire.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
She knew she was going to lose her right arm
because she said that when she looked down at it,
she could see the bone.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
Even with more surgery schedule, Janelle says her daughter remains hopeful.
Police confirmed that one pitbull was killed and the second
remains alive but under investigation. The caretaker of the dogs
was cited for animal code violations. Janelle will need long
term care and prosthetics. A go fundme created by relatives
has raised more than seventeen thousand, seven hundred dollars toward
(10:02):
an eighteen thousand dollars goal for the latest crime and
justice news. Follow crime alerts hourly update on your favorite
