Gov. Tim Walz is defending his vote to pardon a man convicted of molesting a 10-year-old child more than 20 years ago.Last week, the Trump administration deported Tou Lue Vang despite a pardon approved by Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson in their role on the Board of Pardons.Walz said the victim's advocacy for Vang factored in his decision to grant the pardon.“I can tell you in these pardons, one of the overriding factors that continuously influences the decision — certianly of me, I can't speak for the rest of the board, but looks like that — depends on where the victims are at,” Walz said.The governor emphasized that this action “didn't let this person out of jail.” Vang completed his sentence — served entirely as supervised probation — in 2019.Walz said his vote to pardon Vang was not an attempt to prevent him from being deported, though Vang is at least the third convicted felon with pending removal orders to be pardoned in Minnesota this year.In May, the Board of Pardons unanimously granted clemency for At “Ricky” Chandee, who was convicted of second-degree assault in 1993; and Jai Vang, a Laotian man who was convicted of aggravated robbery in 1994.On the same day the board considered a pardon for Vang, four others who had applied for pardons — including three who were facing deportation — were denied. Brian Evans, a spokesman for the Attorney General's Office, said they lacked victim support.In all cases, the Department of Homeland Security criticized the pardons as attempts to “take away qualifying convictions” for removal from the U.S.Vang was deported anyway.Walz questioned whether Vang's removal improved outcomes in Minnesota.“I guess the question I would as is, did that make us any safer? Did that make the children that are left behind any more stable? Did it improve the idea that we can't all be judged by our worst day?” Walz said.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Former NFL scout Blaise Taylor was living what looked like a dream career until prosecutors accused him of turning a glass of pink lemonade into a murder weapon. They alleged he secretly mixed a lethal dose of cocaine into a drink and served it to his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning, who was five months pregnant with their daughter, Ivy. As the poison took effect, Jade managed to call her best friend and left the line open, capturing a horrifying confrontation that would later become one of the most powerful pieces of evidence presented to a jury. Investigators uncovered a troubling history showing Taylor had repeatedly expressed that he did not want to become a father. Witnesses testified he had pressured Jade to have an abortion and even asked a former girlfriend years earlier to secretly slip abortion pills into another pregnant woman's drink. Combined with forensic evidence, toxicology results revealing extraordinarily high cocaine levels, and testimony from medical experts, prosecutors argued the poisoning was carefully planned rather than an accident or overdose. After listening to just over a week of testimony, the jury deliberated for less than two hours before finding Blaise Taylor guilty of the murders of Jade Benning and their unborn daughter, Ivy. The verdict brought an end to a years-long investigation built on forensic science, witness testimony, and Jade's final recorded words. Taylor was sentenced to life in prison and, under Tennessee law, will not be eligible for parole for more than five decades while his attorneys pursue an appeal. #TrueCrimeRecaps #BlaiseTaylor #JadeBenning #BabyIvy #TennesseeTitans Learn more about your ad choices.

What would you do if your daughter called you from jail and said " I killed him. He was beating me and I killed him.” Should she spend the rest of her life in prison? That question is not hypothetical. It is happening right now in every state in this country. Up to 95% of women behind bars were abuse victims before they ever set foot in a courtroom. More than 40 states have no legal mechanism to help them. None. Oklahoma tried to change that. In 2024, the state passed the Survivors' Act... landmark legislation giving domestic violence victims who committed crimes as a result of their abuse a chance at a reduced sentence. It passed with near-unanimous support in one of the reddest states in America. One person has walked free. Dr. Phil sits down with survivor and advocate Audrey Prosper, the attorney who built the law from the ground up, and the DA who says he supports it ... and has opposed every case brought under it in his county. What happens in Oklahoma's courtrooms isn't just an Oklahoma story. It's a warning, and a blueprint, for the rest of the country.CarShield is how you move from chaos to control.

A summary of over 36 different current events topics that range from birthright citizenship, to Graham Platner's pile of red flags, to the origins of the foundational phrase, "separation of church and state". Along the way are details about Air Force Major Jason Watson and his protest speech from the U.S. Capitol calling for all Americans to join him in demanding that the current administration be Impeached, Convicted, and Removed.Additionally, the latest rush quota from the administration to detain 10,000 people in 5 days that was announced just before the murder of Texas father, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, while on his way to work. Yet, as chaos abounds, we read investigative reports on taxpayer money being used for transporting detainees to multiple locations, no-bid contracts for acquaintances, personal projects at the White House, sending Homeland Security staff to track down people and hand them forms, and holding the first 'Patriot Games' to showcase teenagers when the rest of the Epstein Files are still unreleased despite a court order.Check your voter registration, find your polling location, or contact your representatives via USA.GOV, VOTE.GOV, and/or the "5 Calls" app. All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Hard-right leader Marine Le Pen announced her candidacy in France's 2027 presidential campaign in typically dramatic fashion on French TV this week.It came after an appeal court shortened her sentence for misappropriating European Parliament funds that had previously barred her from running. The court reduced the five-year ban on holding office to 45 months with 30 suspended, meaning that the suspension has already been served.A four-year prison sentence was reduced to two years suspended and one year served outside prison with an electronic bracelet, while imposing a fine of €100,000.Le Pen also announced that she would initiate another appeal, this time to France's higher Court of Cassation, and that her sentence would not begin until after this final appeal is heard. Pending this appeal she is free to campaign without the electronic tag.If Le Pen's legal troubles had ruled her out of the presidential race, her party had a backup plan in 30-year-old MEP Jordan Bardella.This will be her fourth run at the presidency. With France moving to the right, has her time finally come? Or will her legal difficulties ultimately mean that the charismatic Bardella will be the National Rally Party's candidate?Paris-based Irish Times Europe Correspondent Naomi O'Leary explains who Le Pen is and how her campaign will unfold in the coming months.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

For more than 30 years, the name George Gibney has haunted Irish swimming. The former national swimming coach left Ireland in the 1990s after a prosecution against him was halted, leaving many of those who said they were abused by him without the day in court they had waited for. Today, after decades of investigations, legal battles, failed hopes and unanswered questions, Gibney has been convicted of sexually abusing young girls more than 50 years ago. This afternoon, a Central Criminal Court jury found the 77-year-old guilty of multiple counts of indecent assault and one count of attempted rape. He had already pleaded guilty to five further counts of indecent assault at the outset of the trial. He will be sentenced later this month.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The kennel video convicted Alex Murdaugh the first time. Audio of his voice at the Moselle property minutes before Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were found shot to death. Witnesses identified him. He took the stand and admitted he lied to investigators about being there. Three-hour deliberation. Guilty on all counts.Dick Harpootlian just told the country his defense team has a strategy to counter that video at retrial. He did not reveal details, but the signal alone tells you the defense is not planning to concede the prosecution's strongest piece of evidence. His team is also bringing in new forensic cell phone experts to challenge the timeline — when Alex arrived, how long he was there, what Maggie's phone data actually shows.Meanwhile, Jim Griffin pointed to unknown male DNA found under Maggie's fingernails that was never submitted to CODIS. Evidence from the person who was fatally shot, recovered during the investigation, and never checked against the national database. The defense wants a court order to run it. Add in eight thousand pages of locked first-trial testimony, a looming venue change fight, and a federal lawsuit against Becky Hill, and the defense is building something the prosecution has never had to face before. Bob Motta on what it all means.

One of Northern Ireland's most high-profile politicians Jeffrey Donaldson is now convicted of 18 child sex abuse charges, including one charge of rape. One politician said the victims showed 'jaw dropping courage' in coming forward. We'll hear from the BBC's Tara Mills who has been in court throughout the trial. Since the start of the Women's T20 Cricket World Cup, the England team have won all three of their group matches against Sri Lanka, Ireland and Scotland, with the West Indies next up tomorrow at the Lords. Nuala is joined by England's head coach and former captain and player Charlotte Edwards, one of the most successful figures in the history of the women's game, and Tilly Corteen-Coleman, the 18-year-old spinner who is the youngest member of England's World Cup squad and one of the country's most exciting young prospects, to discuss the tournament and the growth of women's cricket. An inclusive fashion show happening in Manchester this weekend is hoping to shine a light on how difficult it can be for people with disabilities, including autism, to find clothes which suit their bodies and feel good. Ellie Brown, the founder of inclusive clothing brand ReCondition, is hosting the fashion show. She chats to us. We're also joined by Sam Stein, a YouTuber who makes content about living with autism, who shares how little changes can go a long way. The education secretary Bridget Phillipson has said inclusion bases – specialised areas in schools to support SEND pupils - are being misused to punish disruptive pupils. Later this week, the Department for Education will publish guidance for schools to tackle what they describe as the conflation of bad pupil behaviour with special educational needs and disabilities. Nuala is joined by Margaret Mulholland - SEN and inclusion specialist at the Association of School and College Leaders, and Hayley Harding a SEND parent and organiser and founder of campaign group Let Us Learn Too - to discuss how these designated SEND spaces can be used as a bridge to school life, and not as a barrier to it.
We are back with a final update in the story of the Long Island Serial Killer (episodes #14-16 from 2016). Yesterday, on 17 June 2026, 62-year-old Rex Heuermann was sentenced to life in prison many times over for the deaths of eight women.If you would like to support this podcast and others, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.
Rex Heuermann isn't reading sports books in his cell. He's not reading cookbooks or self-help or anything a person does when they're processing what they've done. According to Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon, the Gilgo Beach killer has been pulling crime novels from the jail library — specifically books about serial killers and the investigators who chase them.That detail alone is disturbing. But it's not the whole picture.According to reporting, Heuermann also struck up a correspondence with Keith Hunter Jesperson, the Happy Face Killer, who reportedly sent over ten letters from his Oregon prison cell. Out of every piece of mail Heuermann received — interview requests, pen pal offers, collectors — Jesperson was reportedly the only person he wrote back to. And he described Jesperson's letters as “a help and a comfort.”I dug into the forensic psychology behind why killers seek each other out from behind bars. It's a documented phenomenon. Convicted killers have been writing to other convicted killers for decades — seeking attention, affinity, and in the most disturbing cases, inspiration. The Gilgo Beach LISK case now has its own entry in that pattern.What makes Heuermann's case different is the behavioral profile. The sheriff who has watched him for more than a thousand days says the man has never once changed his facial expression. Never shown discomfort or despair. The reading list, the killer correspondence, the emotional flatness — taken together, they paint a picture of a man who appears to be settling into an identity rather than reckoning with one.Every true crime case raises questions about psychology. This one answers some of them.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A terrifying vision, a terrifying UFO encounter, and evidence of the encounter buried in his arm – if true, Tim Cullen's story could change everything we think we know about extraterrestrials.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/timcullenREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/433fftc2FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Tim Cullen's life changed forever after a chilling dream in 1978. It wasn't long after that he had bizarre encounters with UFOs, was abducted by aliens, and found a strange piece of metal embedded in his arm. Were these encounters real? If so, what secrets lie within the alien implant removed from his body? (The Alien Abduction of Tim Cullen) *** The life of Martha Place took a dark turn in 1899. Convicted of a brutal murder, Martha faced a horrifying punishment… she was about to become the first woman to be executed by the electric chair. (The First Woman in the Electric Chair) *** We'll look at a double-murder case where real crime collides with reality TV, resulting in real-life horror. (The Wife-Swap Murders) *** Steve's childhood was marked by inexplicable and spine-chilling encounters. Eerie breathing sounds, a manifestation at his bedside, being pushed down the stairs… all without a rational explanation. Even moving away wouldn't bring his paranormal tormenting to an end. (The Entity That Follows) *** The urban legend of "The Licked Hand” is a chilling tale that has been whispered around campfires and shared at sleepovers for generations, tapping into our deepest fears of invasion and vulnerability. But this isn't just any ghost story; it's a timeless warning about the dangers lurking in the darkness, waiting to infiltrate our homes and lives… and it even has a bit of truth to it.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 10, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a recovered alien implant in a Colorado man's forearm to the first woman ever sent to the electric chair, through the campfire legend of the licked hand, a Wife Swap family destroyed by one son's gunfire, and a breathing entity that stalked a boy from one English city to another.It opens with Tim Cullen, who dreamed on April 2nd, 1978 that he would be in a violent traffic accident, then lived it a week later on April 9th when his friend Ken Ruberg's car rolled over multiple times and left Cullen with a broken neck. Recovering in the hospital, he had a second vivid dream, this one of a UFO, and on May 30th of that year, while driving Highway 59 home from a checkup with his pregnant wife Janet, the couple watched a silent, glowing craft roughly 100 feet long hover over a pasture with two diffused lights — one yellow, one red — glowing at its rear. Cullen reported two more sightings along the same Yuma, Colorado stretch of road, one in 1980 and another in 1994 witnessed by his wife and three daughters, but the encounters faded from his mind until 1998, when he hit his thumb with a hammer and Dr. Mark Hubner at the Yuma Clinic spotted a piece of metal lodged in his forearm on the X-ray. Convinced the object was an alien implant, Cullen contacted Roger K. Leir, who surgically removed it on February 5th, 2000 in Thousand Oaks, California — a melon-seed-shaped fragment about 7 centimeters long, wrapped in a reddish-brown membrane, with a magnetic core that leapt half an inch off the table toward a magnet.From there the episode turns to March 20th, 1899, when Martha Place became the first woman executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison in New York, a procedure so unfamiliar with a female prisoner that her executioners cut a slit in the black dress she had sewn herself to reach her ankles. Born Martha Garrettson in Millstone, New Jersey in 1849, she had been struck in the head by a sleigh at 23 and, her brother believed, never fully recovered. After marrying widower William Place and coming to hate her teenage stepdaughter Ida, she threw acid into the 17-year-old girl's face on February 7th, 1898, smothered her with bedding, and waited with an ax for William, whom she wounded as he stepped through the door. Governor Theodore Roosevelt refused to commute her sentence, and after the words "God help me," 1,760 volts ended her life at the age of 49.Next comes the urban legend of the licked hand, in which a girl left home alone with her German Shepherd reaches down through the night to feel a reassuring lick, only to wake and find her dog skinned in the shower and the words "Humans can lick too" scrawled on the mirror. The legend's roots reach back to an 1871 entry in The Diary of a Victorian Squire by Dearman Birchall, run through M.R. James's 1919 story "The Diary of Mr. Poynter," and surface in the film Urban Legend with its "aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights" variant. Folklorists including Trevor Blank of SUNY Potsdam account for the tale's endurance, and its dread finds a real-world echo in Dennis Rader, the BTK strangler, who cut the phone lines at Marine Hedge's home on April 27th, 1985 and hid in her closet for hours before she returned.The episode then examines a double murder rooted in reality television, the case of the Stockdale family, who appeared on an April 23rd, 2008 episode of Wife Swap trading mothers with the easygoing Tonkovic household. Raised under a strict religious regime that banned video games, dating, and most contact with the outside world, Jacob Stockdale fatally shot his mother Kathy and his brother James in the head on June 15th, 2017 in Beach City, Ohio, then survived a self-inflicted gunshot. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and tried more than once to flee the mental institution holding him, including a plan to hide behind stacks of books being carted out, but Dr. Arcangela Wood judged him sane at the time of the killings. Jacob ultimately pleaded guilty and received two consecutive 15-year terms, 30 years for the deaths of his mother and brother.The episode closes with an account written by UFO Insight's Marcus Lowth and told to him by a man he calls Steve, who first heard breathing beside his face at age three or four in 1970s Newcastle, England. The encounters escalated over the following years — an invisible finger shoving his cheek, the manifestation of a grey-haired man around 50 in an old-fashioned suit at his bedside, and a push that sent him tumbling down a full flight of stairs in daylight. When the family moved to a semi-detached house near Sheffield in Yorkshire, the presence followed, culminating one night around midnight when Steve, then eight or nine, felt invisible knees pin him to the mattress and unseen hands tighten around his throat until the grip suddenly released and the breathing drained away into the distance. It never returned, leaving unresolved whether the entity was a poltergeist drawn to a child, the lingering ghost of an old man, or something demonic that fixed on a person rather than a place.
A family is suing an Oregon hospital after a heart valve was installed upside down. But there's a twist that you'll never see coming, and it could just be our greatest strength. So, is it happening? Are we going to see the return of "fiery, but mostly peaceful" protesting in the wake of the Karmelo Anthony verdict? We had boots on the ground outside the courthouse to see what the protesters were saying. Speaking of protests, Belfast is over it. After the attempted beheading by a Sudanese asylum seeker, the people have taken to the streets. Will it last long enough to get rid of the Leftist government or will the outrage be short-lived? Only time will tell. GUEST: Nick Di Paolo Link to today's sources: https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/sources-june-10-2026 Let my sponsor American Financing help you regain control of your finances.

Two months after walking away from the Tombstone feud a free man, Johnny Ringo was found dead against a tree with a Colt in his hand. He had survived the Hoodoo War, jail breaks, and a showdown with Doc Holliday — but no one can agree on what finally killed him.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/JohnnyRingoREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/24j5xybkFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: A gentleman gunslinger who could quote Shakespeare, Johnny Ringo was a mythic gunslinger who died a mysterious death befitting his legend. (The Mysterious Death of Outlaw Johnny Ringo) *** To his family and neighbors, Richard Kuklinski was the all-American man. To the mafia and his victims, he was the "devil himself" known as the Iceman killer. (The Mafia's Most Prolific Hitman) *** Wherever tragedies happen, urban legends settle. And for almost every urban legend, there is a road to take you there… a road often just as terrifying as the urban legend it takes you to. (Roads that Lead to Urban Legends) *** We'll look at the true story of a bar bouncer accused of killing his wife… which is odd, seeing as the incident took place before he killed a man while defending her honor. (A Broad-Shouldered Bully Was Wiener) *** Extraterrestrials come in all shapes and sizes if you believe what you see on television, film, and even online in the fringe conversations of UFO enthusiasts. The most famous of the aliens are usually depicted in the very realistic, humanoid form… the Greys. But what exactly are the Greys? And is it possible they aren't extraterrestrial at all?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness travels from a gunfighter's unexplained death under an Arizona oak tree to a mafia hitman's freezer, a tour of the world's most haunted highways, a St. Louis hanging, a British flatulence performer, and the enduring question of what the Grey aliens actually are.It opens with Johnny Ringo, the Shakespeare-quoting outlaw and cousin to the Younger and James brothers, who survived the Hoodoo War of Mason County, Texas, a jailbreak, multiple murder charges, and a near-shootout with Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday on the streets of Tombstone — only to be found dead on July 13, 1882, slumped against a tree with a .45 caliber Colt in his right hand. The coroner called it suicide. Others pointed to the cartridges in his gun, the absence of powder burns, the odd position of his hat, and later confessions attributed to Earp himself, and called it murder. Biographers Jack Burrows and David Johnson weighed the same evidence a century later and sided with suicide, a quiet end for a man newspapers once misspelled into legend as "Ringgold."From there the episode moves to St. Louis in 1877, where Billy Wieners — a hulking bouncer at the Theatre Comique saloon, already out on bond for trying to kill his wife — shot assistant barkeeper A.V. Lawrence dead for insulting that same wife. The Missouri Supreme Court found nothing in the record to soften a verdict of deliberate murder, and after his sister Annie's commutation campaign failed to move Governor Phelps, Wieners hanged in the St. Louis jail yard on February 1, 1878, using his last words to warn other men away from whiskey.Next comes a road trip through the world's haunted highways: Zombie Road in Wildwood, Missouri; India's cursed Ranchi-Jamshedpur NH33, where 245 people died in three years and a woman in a white saree patrols the asphalt; South Africa's N9 with the hitchhiking ghost of Maria Roux; Australia's "Street With No Name" in Annandale; the werewolf sightings on Yorkshire's B1249; Malaysia's Karak Highway, where a creature was seen battering a husband's head against his own car roof; Scotland's A75 Kinmount Straight and its phantom animals; Long Island's Mount Misery and Sweet Hollow roads; the unearthed Hawaiian warrior bones beneath Oahu's H-1; Thailand's temple-haunting murdered wife on Chak Phra Road; and the ghosts scattered along old Route 66.The darkness deepens with Richard Kuklinski, the Gambino-affiliated contract killer known as the Iceman, who froze his victims' bodies in industrial freezers so the time of death could never be fixed. Convicted of six murders, he claimed hundreds, killing with cyanide nasal spray, ice picks, hand grenades, and his bare hands while coaching his children's barbecues and ushering Sunday Mass in suburban New Jersey. An ATF sting through his only friend, Phil Solimene, ended the run in 1986, and Kuklinski spent his remaining years giving prison interviews until his death in 2006 — a week after his wife Barbara declined, one last time, to lift the do-not-resuscitate order she had signed.The mood lifts with Paul Oldfield of Macclesfield, England, the performer called Mr. Methane, who discovered during a teenage yoga session that he could draw air into his colon at will and built a stage career on controlled flatulence — playing Phil Collins parodies, alarming Howard Stern, and logging 86 farts in a single minute for a 2018 Guinness World Records attempt, a talent the record book had refused to touch back in 1990.The episode closes among the Greys, the large-eyed, gray-skinned beings that dominate alien abduction reports from Betty and Barney Hill onward. Ufologists describe two castes — tall telepathic leaders and smaller cloned workers — originating in the Zeta Reticuli binary star system 38 light years away, harvesting human sperm and eggs to repair DNA ruined by generations of cloning. A rival theory holds that the Greys are not extraterrestrials at all but human beings from a distant future: taller, thinner, larger-brained time travelers returning to collect healthy genetic material from before whatever catastrophe awaits us.
