Crime Alert I Nancy Gray's Breaking Crime News Now. California
lawyer Sarah Jacqueline King, forty one, moves into the win
Vegas Resort hotel for six months, living in novilla, normally
offered only to guests who's daily gambling totals are over
three hundred thousand dollars. A butler feeds her dog with
(00:20):
treats delivered on a silver platter, and even takes the
dog for walks on the Winds Championship golf course. She
gets around in luxury, buying a one hundred thirty two
thousand dollars Porsche electric sports car. Problem. It's not her money.
King scams friends, family, celebrities, billionaires alike, saying she had
(00:42):
a great short term deal. Give her ten thousand on Wednesday,
you'll get twenty thousand back on Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Nancy King reportedly makes her money recruiting investors for LDR
International to facilitate short term loans to celebrities, professional athletes,
and other high net worth individuals secured by the borrower's
own assets. King is accused of fabricating loans using expensive cars, watches,
and even NFL contracts as collateral.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
King's attorney tried to rationalize the theft, say the attorneys,
addicted to xanax and consumes ten drinks a day. In
the end, Sarah Jacqueline King pleads guilty to wire fraud
and money laundering. Sentenced to twenty one months in federal
prison in order to pay eight million, seven hundred and
eighty five thousand, forty five dollars in restitution. Good luck
(01:35):
on ever. Seeing that a Florida man gets close to
a bison in the Lake Village area Yellowstone, not a surprise.
The giant animal doesn't like it, rushing and goring the man.
The National Park Services once again warning visitors bison will
defend their space if threatened and have injured more people
in Yellowstone than any other animal. And you cannot outrun
(01:57):
a bison. They can run three times faster than humans.
The man has minor injuries and is treated by emergency
medical personnel. Just wondering is he going to see the bison?

Speaker 3 (02:16):
The US Justice Department has indicted two alleged leaders of
a Mexican drug cartel on narco terrorism charges, accusing them
of flooding the US with fentanyl and other deadly drugs.
Pedro in Zunza Noriega and his son Pedro and Zunza
Coronel are said to run a violent faction of the
Beltron leva organization once part of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel.
(02:40):
Prosecutors say the pair led one of the world's most
advanced fentanyl production networks and used violence, including kidnappings and killings,
to secure trafficking routes, especially near the border city of Tijuana.
Both men are still at large. The charges follow the
cartel's designation as a foreign terrorist organistation earlier this year.
(03:02):
In December, Mexican forces sees more than fifteen hundred kilos
of fentanyl link to the group, the largest known bus
to date. Nearly five decades after a young California mother
was found murdered in her car, a fingerprint on a
cigarette carton has led to an arrest. Crime Online correspondent
Sidney Sumner has the story.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
In nineteen seventy seven, twenty four year old Jeannette Ralston
was found strangled in the backseat of her Volkswagen Beetle
in San Jose, California. The case went cold for nearly
forty eight years now. Authority say a breakthrough came when
a latent thumb print on a curtain of Eves cigarettes
found in Ralston's car was re examined using the FBI's
updated fingerprint database. The print match sixty nine year old
(03:46):
Willie Eugene Simms, a former Army private stationed at Fort Ord,
about sixty eight miles south of San Jose at the
time of the murder. Investigators traveled to Ohio earlier this
year to obtain a DNA sample from Sims, which they
say match DNA found under Ralston's fingernails and on the
shirt used to strangle her. Simms was arrested in Jefferson, Ohio,
(04:06):
and arraigned in Ashtabula County Court before being extradited to California.
He faces a murder charge and, if convicted, could receive
a sentence of twenty five years to life in prison.
Homicide Team supervisor William Weigel emphasized the importance of allowing
the legal process to unfold, cautioning against rushing to judgment.
Ralston's son, Allan, who was six years old at the
(04:28):
time of her death, expressed a gratitude for the renewed
efforts in solving the case, saying I'm just glad that
somebody cared.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Willie Eugene Simms remains in custody without bail, with his
next court appearance scheduled for August twelfth.
