It’s not just for this case but we have so many that pop up weekly no need to start a thread for most of them. If we already have such a thread please combine this with it OR retitle the other thread to this. I am not the only one here fascinated by all these types of crimes and follow them. So it’s a good catch all thread (not starting them just because I’m thirsty folks or a phantom drowner of people.) just put the recent crimes like this in this thread. There will obviously be other crimes that deserve their own thread. 
———————

“Laken Riley, 22, nursing student and graduate of UGA, was found dead yesterday after going for a jog, on the university’s intermural fields and never returned. 

Police found her unconscious and injured in a wooded area behind the fields around 12:30 p.m. Thursday. She was pronounced dead at the scene.”

https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/clarke-county/laken-riley-heres-what-we-know-about-nursing-student-killed-uga-campus/TLE4MMTP5RHC7N6VCNUOS55RDQ/
 

They cancelled classes at both schools (where she was found and where she was a nursing student) yesterday and today and told all female students to walk in groups. 
I understand today that police have swarmed an apartment complex near where she went jogging. It’s been reported on X that there are people in custody but it is not clear right now if that is connected to Laken.

Laken’s crime is also reminding people of an unsolved homicide of a female jogger in California. No other information on why people believe that might be connected to the case of Laken’s homicide in Athens.

Police just announced they have a POI for Laken’s homicide:

I would be very curious to know if the POI had a record/should have been free to do this. Many people on X think this is related to other similar unsolved cases of female joggers being killed. Especially the one in California. That would be crazy if connected. This might end up being a massive story because a lot of media is in Athens.

Surprised I didn't see this one covered on here. An 11-year-old Livingston girl didn't get off the bus after school. Searchers find her body in the Trinity River. The guy living in the trailer behind the house who has a lengthy rap sheet, including indecency with child is thought to be the killer. Just sickening, awful stuff. 

"Newly obtained criminal records show McDougal was indicted on attempted indecency with a child nearly 17 years ago in Brazoria County, which, according to legal analyst Anthony Osso Jr., would have required him to register as a sex offender. However, McDougal pleaded down to child enticement in 2008. The charge does not require sex offender registration.

According to records, on March 31, 2007, McDougal "attempted to remove (a child's) pants after getting in bed with her."

Additionally, according to online records, McDougal has a criminal history that goes back two decades and includes more than a dozen arrests.

I thought about adding Audrii’s case here but there is already a ton in the What the Fuck is wrong with you, Houston? Thread. Guess a mod should move the posts over. I don’t know how else to do that. 
 

Also, many “true crime” followers like myself posting in X about an unsolved homicide of a female jogger in California—-I mentioned this above but would be curious if the suspect in Laken’s case resembles the composite below in Rachel’s case from California:

In the Laken Riley case it appears big search going on around the apartment complex where the POI lives/was staying:


The apartment being searched where the POI was believed to have been staying houses mostly UGA freshmen. FYI.

Laken’s killer:

Speculation running rampant that he could possibly be the POI in Rachel Morin’s homicide from California. That would be wild. Go from California to Georgia and murder two women, strangers to him, who were simply out jogging?

Hello ooh shart thread.

Well if this suspect killed that jogger in California….damn. I know already it will now be a fucking political thing. This was huge news in Atlanta hence why I posted it. Had no idea the suspect could potentially be a serial killer. Figured it was someone she knew or who was an acquaintance

I am not turning this into a political football type of deal. I just want to know if either he or his brother could be responsible for female jogger Rachel Morin in California.  Sketches are not great but I do kinda see some similarities. At any rate, 14 Americans have met the same fate as Laken since 2024 started.  she is now a martyr for the cause whether her loved ones want that or not. 
 

This shouldn’t even be a political debate on either side. I love immigrants and what they bring here. But we are letting in a LOT of the bad with the good. 14 Americans since 2024. Too porous and too many millions seeking asylum that should not be allowed to be. 
 

At any rate this is for true crime and big cases of the day and that’s why I started this thread. Being in Atlanta it was huge news this case. But I want people to post other cases and stuff. Didn’t want to just focus on one. Her name is going to be invoked in political rallies everywhere no. Just a small town girl from Woodstock Georgia. That’s sad.

Describing the murderer as an “Athens man”, instead of the illegal alien scum that he is, is peak legacy media gaslighting.

Because his immigration status is not germane to this crime. If you were arrested for sucking cock for money, the headline would read "Houston man arrested in male prostitution sting." It would not be "Dumbass who tailors his Texans jerseys and is a racist POS arrested in male prostitution sting." All of those things are true, but not germane to the fact that you suck dick for drugs.

Fuck you. His immigration status is fucking relevant. He has no ties to Athens and is a fucking illegal with no right to be in this country. That’s what he should be described as.

I don’t know if any of you followed a case out of Connecticut from 2019. Jennifer Dulos (mother of five and in a contentious divorce and custody fight) disappeared from her home with blood evidence left in the garage. Her estranged hubby and his girlfriend were charged eventually with her murder.
 

Fotis Dulos later committed suicide in early 2020 so the State is trying his lover. She was very active in disposing of evidence, and helping him to create a false alibi while he was allegedly killing Jennifer.
 

The State just finished their closing arguments. Defense is up next and State will get a final close. To finally see this case come to fruition and be finished is something. Never thought they’d get to this point and even though the media has largely said they believe the girlfriend, Michelle Troconis will get off…I think the jury isn’t dumb. I have followed this case from a few days after Jennifer went missing. At the time Fotis’s attorney claimed she disappeared on purpose like Gone Girl. Later police were able to recover enough evidence (garbage bags with bloody clothes and such that Fotis and Michelle disposed of in Hartford the night Jennifer went missing in garbage cans all over town—there is video of them both doing this) to charge him and Michelle. Fuck Michelle and her bullshit didn’t understand what was going on crap! 
 

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/michelle-troconis-trial-jennifer-dulos-murder-b2502645.html
 

that link will catch anyone up if you remember anything about this case. 
 

Justice for Jennifer and her loved ones. I hope. Jennifer is the black and white picture, then Fotis and his ugly whore Michelle who is on trial:

The world is a dangerous place

Yes it is.

hopefully with all the cameras around (this has been huge in apprehension, charging/ arresting and conviction. Cameras all over the damn place making it nearly impossible to get away with this shit. It may take many hundreds of hours in some cases to go through all the footage and follow a criminal from the crime to an ending place or follow where they came from but cameras and footage are a fucking game changer like cell phone data and GPS/onstar stuff.

As for how the suspect encountered Laken, his neighbors say he was quiet guy (oops) who most of the time sat outside his apartment on the front porch. Laken often went for a run as she was track and field in high school and kept up with it in college. She’d often use the apartment complex as a cut through on her way to the lake:area where she would jog.

If he wasn’t here illegally she’d still be alive. That’s about as germane as it gets.

Looks like this one might be a hoax. If it is, this type of shit pisses me off. We don’t need a staged crime to be reminded that women get raped daily. We don’t need a hoax like Jussie Smollett reminding us there is racism. We don’t need this type of shit. Fake kidnappings and other crap people stage. Stop it. Also, give them the sentence a perp would have gotten for actually committing the crime. You’ve got people looking for a suspect and there isn’t one. Make them do the time for the crime alleged!  That might be a deterrent. A lot of these cases are messed up girls with relationship issues wanting attention. Stop it damnit!!! The dude doesn’t want to be with you! 
 

i invite them instead to come and check out the Chilean sea bass I have trained in Lady Bird Lake.

In an update at 12 p.m., police said detectives are still working with the reporting woman to "reconcile inconsistencies between the information she is reporting and the evidence found at the scene." 

Bellevue Police did rule out any ongoing threat to the school or local community at this time.

sad case out of Florida with depressing similarities to the Audrii Cunningham case in the Houston area. A sexual predator, non-relative in close proximity to a young girl who was allowed to drop her off at schools Smdh! 
 

“Stephan Sterns, 37, had dropped off now missing 13 year old Madeline Soto in the area of Hunters Creek Middle School, which is where she goes to school.

— The boyfriend of a missing Florida teen’s mother was arrested Wednesday night on charges of sexual battery and possession of child sexual abuse material, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. 

13-year-old Madeline Soto was reported missing after she didn’t show up to school on Monday, according to officials.

I follow true crime and wanted to create a thread that is for crimes in the news rather than have an individual thread for recent cases.
