The FBI has apprehended three minors in connection with a bank robbery that sent shockwaves through Houston, Texas. The suspects, aged 11, 12, and 16, have been dubbed "little rascals" by the agency, reminiscent of the mischievous characters from the 1955 TV series. According to the FBI's announcement on social media, "all three bank robbery suspects known as the 'little rascals' are in custody." The arrest follows allegations that the trio committed a daring robbery at a Wells Fargo bank in Houston on March 14. Details surrounding the identities of the juvenile suspects remain undisclosed, in line with legal protocols governing minors involved in criminal investigations. The Harris County Sheriff's Office, tasked with probing the incident, revealed that the boys entered the bank and presented a threatening note to a teller, as reported by ABC 13. Despite suspicions of carrying a weapon, authorities noted that none was displayed during the robbery. The boys purportedly fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash, making their escape on foot. In a bid to aid the investigation, the FBI released photos of the juvenile suspects on social media, appealing to the public for assistance. Remarkably, two of the suspects were identified and turned in by their own parents after the images circulated, underscoring the community's shock and disbelief at the involvement of such young individuals in a serious crime. Reacting to the unprecedented nature of the case, retired juvenile district court judge Mike Schneider expressed astonishment, stating, "The age of the younger two, that's unusual for a bank robbery." Schneider speculated about potential adult influence behind the alleged crime, highlighting a concerning trend where adults exploit minors for criminal activities. The minors have been charged with robbery by threat, according to FBI Houston. However, details regarding their legal proceedings remain unclear, including whether they are being held in a juvenile facility or have obtained legal representation. A criminal defense attorney consulted by ABC 13 outlined potential consequences if the suspects are convicted, indicating possible probation until they reach 18 or detention in a juvenile facility until they turn 19. As investigations continue, authorities are grappling with the complexities of addressing juvenile involvement in serious criminal offenses, raising broader questions about societal influences and the vulnerabilities of impressionable youth.

On March 9, 2023, 27-year-old Kay-Alana Turner left a friend's home in Silsbee, Texas, and headed toward Austin, about four hours away, apparently to see a friend. In the days leading up to March 9, Kay-Alana had not been sleeping well, and she didn't seem quite like herself. Witnesses in the towns of Hockley and Tomball, Texas, interacted with Kay-Alana in the early morning hours of March 10. She had been asking people if she could sleep in their driveways. By this time, Kay-Alana's phone had died. Around 6 AM, a homeowner in the Holly Creek Estates subdivision in Tomball, Texas, noticed Kay-Alana's car in their driveway, and she was asleep inside. The homeowner decided to call someone from their homeowner's association and other neighbors. They gathered around Kay-Alana's car and attempted to wake her. Kay-Alana was scared and decided to drive her car away, but they blocked her. Then, an officer from Harris County broke Kay-Alana's driver-side window. She bolted, first by driving her car through the yard, out through some farmland, and eventually into the woods, where the vehicle got stuck. With deputies behind her on foot, she decided to run. Kay-Alana dropped her phone along the way and later removed her shoes, full of glass from the broken window. In the days that followed, Kay-Alana's loved ones began to compare notes and came to believe that she was suffering a mental health crisis that night. Despite extensive searches of the area where Kay-Alana was last seen, no trace of her, other than her phone and shoes, has ever been found.If you have any information about Kay-Alana's disappearance, please contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office at 713-755-7427.Photo Credit: James Blaign RamboThis episode was sponsored by:Zbiotics- Go to Zbiotics.com/VANISHED to get 15% off your first order when you use code VANISHED at checkout.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On March 8, 2023, 27-year-old Kay-Alana Turner stayed at a friend's home in Silsbee, Texas. Kay-Alana's friend, Brittany, noticed that she hadn't been sleeping well, and something appeared to be troubling Kay-Alana. The following morning, Brittany left for work, believing Kay-Alana was asleep. As the day wore on, Brittany kept trying to contact Kay-Alana, but something was off with the way that her text messages were going through. She attempted to reach Kay-Alana via phone and Facetime video calls. She eventually reached Kay-Alana, but something still wasn't quite right, and she didn't know where her friend was. Brittany enlisted the help of Kay-Alana's boyfriend, James, who went out searching for her that night. He stopped at all of Kay-Alana's familiar places with no luck. They later learned that Kay-Alana had planned to visit a friend in Austin, about a four-hour drive from Brittany's home. Where along that 245-mile trip could something have gone wrong? Did Kay-Alana get into an accident? Had she run out of gas? They searched frantically throughout the night, and by the next morning, stories began to emerge about Kay-Alana that seemed so out of character for her. Kay-Alana's loved ones couldn't believe what they were hearing. One thing they knew for sure was that they needed to find Kay-Alana.If you have any information about Kay-Alana's disappearance, please contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office at 713-755-7427.Photo Credit: James Blaign RamboThis episode was sponsored by:Audible- Visit Audible.com/MIA or text MIA to 500-500 to try Audible free for 30 days.Doordash- Our listeners can get 50% off, up to a $20 value no min sub total when you download the Doordash App and enter code VANISHEDGROCERY.Zbiotics- Go to Zbiotics.com/VANISHED to get 15% off your first order when you use code VANISHED at checkout.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the afternoon of April 26th, 2010, 16-year-old Alexandria Joy Lowitzer, or Ali as she was known, got off of her school bus across from her home in Spring, Texas. Ali, a sophomore at Spring High School, wanted to walk up to her new workplace, The Burger Barn. She had a paycheck to collect and she told her mom she might be able to pick up a shift that afternoon. Her mom, Jo Ann, was reluctant because Ali had only been working there a few weeks and she hadn't walked there before. Ali pleaded with her mom until she gave in. Two boys got off the bus with Ali and noticed she lagged behind, not walking as she usually would towards her home, but going the opposite way, out of the neighbourhood in the direction of the Burger Barn. Ali didn't make it to The Burger Barn and was never seen or heard from again. If you have any information about the disappearance of Ali Lowitzer, please contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office 713-221-6000.The episode was co-researched and written by Marissa Jones and Anna Priestland.This episode was sponsored by:Doordash- Our listeners can get 50% off, up to a $10 value on a $15 min sub total when you download the Doordash App and enter code TV.Audible- Visit Audible.com/MIA or text MIA to 500-500 to try Audible free for 30 days.Blue Nile- Experience the ease and convenience of shopping Blue Nile today at BlueNile.com.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On Friday's show: The suspect in the shooting of a Harris County sheriff's deputy is in custody this morning following a standoff with authorities Thursday, during which three more officers were wounded – none seriously. The suspect has multiple felony convictions, was out on bond while facing other charges, and skipped his trial date. We ask former Harris County Sheriff and current County Commissioner Adrian Garcia if cases like this leave him contemplating whether further changes are necessary in county bail procedures. Also this hour: Houston native Lyle Lovett talks about his music ahead of his concert Saturday at the Hobby Center. Then, we hear some additional highlights from Eddie Robinson's conversation with Rice University Pres. Reginald DesRoches from this weekend's edition of I See U. And our non-experts break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

After Kent McGowen was convicted in 1994 for the murder of Susan White, his conviction was overturned during his appeals process. Kent went back to trial in 2002, and was again found guilty, but was sentenced to 20 years - five more years than his previous sentence. After Kent's release in 2021, he began fighting for his exoneration, while speaking out about the injustices within the criminal justice system.Kent's GiveSendGo for an attorneyhttps://givesendgo.com/G31TC?utm_source=sharelink&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=G31TCDon't forget to checkout the new website!www.fthatpod.comIf you liked what you heard today, give the podcast a like, review, and subscribe.Follow F**k That on Facebook, TikTok and Twitter @fthatpodInstagram @fthat_podThank you to this week's sources:SAMHSADisaster Technical Assistance Center Supplemental Research Bulletin First Responders: Behavioral Health Concerns, Emergency Response, and Trauma May, 2018 https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/dtac/supplementalresearchbulletin-firstresponders-may2018.pdfAmerican JusticeSeason 28: E2 Conversation with Todd Morong – shared with permissionApril 8th, 2023 Conversations with Kent McGowen – shared with permission Documentary – Abuse of Police Power Court of Appeals of Texas, Houston (14th Dist.).Joseph Kenton McGOWEN, Appellant, v.The STATE of Texas,Appellee.

After Harris County Deputy Kent McGowen fatally shot and killed Susan White on August 25th, 1992, ADA's Ed Porter and Don Smyth were immediately suspicious that this was not done in self-defense. Rumors began to swirl that Kent and Susan had a brief relationship, and once it was ended, Kent was left enraged. Depositions showed that Susan believed she was being sexually harassed by Kent, but no formal reports or complaints were made. Investigators were soon convinced Susan White's death was not self-defense, and Kent was indicted by a Grand Jury on October 27th, 1992. Kent was found guilty and was sentenced to 15 years on March 11th, 1994, but due toTexas law regarding bonds pending appeal, Kent was able to stay out of prison during the appeals process.Kent's GiveSendGo for an attorneyhttps://givesendgo.com/G31TC?utm_source=sharelink&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=G31TCDon't forget to checkout the new website!www.fthatpod.comIf you liked what you heard today, give the podcast a like, review, and subscribe.Follow F**k That on Facebook, TikTok and Twitter @fthatpodInstagram @fthat_podThank you to this week's sources:American JusticeSeason 28: E2 Conversation with Todd Morong – shared with permissionApril 8th, 2023 Conversations with Kent McGowen – shared with permission Documentary – Abuse of Police Power Court of Appeals of Texas, Houston (14th Dist.).Joseph Kenton McGOWEN, Appellant, v.The STATE of Texas,Appellee.

The investigation into Mary Lou Morris's October 12th, 2000 murder was going nowhere for Harris County Texas Sheriff's Office detectives. All the physical evidence had literally gone up in flames, which was perhaps the biggest clue – that her killer either planned the terrible crime carefully or had plenty of time after to cover their tracks. Finding a motive was damn near as impossible. Mary Lou's daughter Marilyn was 25 years old at the time, and vividly remembers the day her mother went missing and her smoldering car was found. She noticed plenty to cause her to be suspicious of one man then and in the proceeding years, another inserted himself into the case causing further confusion.Very special thanks to Marilyn for speaking with us for this episodeIf you have any information about the murder of Mary Lou Morris or Mary Teresa Morris, please contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office at (713)274-9100 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS (8477)You can support gone cold and listen ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast Find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastWe highly recommend listening to the following podcasts, which were used as sources for this episode: The Murder In My Family's episode here: spreaker.com/user/11688200/mary-henderson-morris ...... and The Prosecutors Podcast's Mary Morris episodes, beginning with part 1: prosecutorspodcast.com/2020/12/15/47-the-murders-of-mary-morris-double-visionOther sources for this episode are The Baytown Sun, The Houston Chronical, The Austin American-Statesman, and ABCnews.com #JusticeForMaryLouMorris #JusticeForMaryTeresaMorris #JusticeForMaryMorris #BaytownTX #SugarLandTX #Houston #HarrisCountyTX #TX #Texas #TexasTrueCrime #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #ColdCase #UnsolvedMysteries #UnsolvedMurder

While the investigation into the murder of 48-year-old Mary Lou Morris was just beginning, another woman – 39-year-old Mary Teresa Morris – was killed brutally. Though there was far more evidence to be had in Mary Teresa's case, Harris County Sheriff's Office Detectives came up empty handed. As they investigated the usual suspect – Mary Teresa's husband – another seemingly good suspect emerged, one who seemed to have it out for the victim. While potential motive was there, however, clues tying either man to the scene of the crime were virtually nonexistent, no matter what the media lead readers and viewers to believe.

On October 12th, 2000, 48-year-old Mary Morris left her Baytown, Texas home headed for work. Later that afternoon, when her husband discovered she'd never made it, he reported her missing and went searching alongside his stepdaughter. At 5 PM that day, Mary's car was found smoldering after having been set afire. The day of Mary Lou Morris's funeral, October 16th, 2000, another woman was discovered dead in her vehicle in northwest Houston, about 37 miles away. A connection between these two heinous crimes, perhaps, would have never been theorized if it weren't for the fact that the second woman's name was also Mary Morris.

Kevin Spacey Testifies Father Was “Homophobic Neo-Nazi” During his sexual misconduct trial, Kevin Spacey testified that his father was a homophobic Neo-Nazi. On Monday, Kevin Spacey testified in a New York courtroom to refute allegations made by actor Anthony Rapp that the Oscar winner made a sexual pass at him when they were both 14 years old. When confronted about Rapp's allegations that a 26-year-old Spacey picked him up like a groom would a bride after a party in 1986, the actor responded by calling himself "Kevin Spacey Fowler." Rapp said earlier in the trial that during the fully clothed encounter, he wriggled out from under Spacey and tried to run out of the flat, but Spacey followed him and asked if he was sure he wanted to leave. "They are not real," Spacey remarked of the claims. Then, he was questioned if, throughout his professional existence, he had been secretive about his personal life. "My loathing of bigotry and intolerance began" at that point, he claimed. According to Spacey, having friends over was "humiliating and terrifying" since he never knew what his father would say to them or to him. I couldn't tell anyone a word about what was going on inside that house. There was never a single conversation about it between us. I've never discussed this in open conversation before," he admitted. When asked about his interest in the theater, Spacey revealed that his father "used to rage at me at the possibility that I might be gay." Two hours after Rapp's attorneys ended their presentation of evidence, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan dismissed a claim of intentional infliction of mental distress, and Spacey took the stand to testify. According to Kaplan, Rapp's allegations of abuse and battery are repeated here. It was argued by Spacey's legal team that Rapp's lawyers couldn't substantiate their client's allegations, hence the lawsuit should be thrown out. Kaplan ruled that Rapp, a 50-year-old regular on "Star Trek: Discovery," can move through with his assault and battery charges in court. The Broadway production of "Rent" featured him as an original cast member. Oscar winner and "House of Cards" star Kevin Spacey, 63, saw his career cut short by allegations made by actor Anthony Rapp and others in 2017. When Rapp and Spacey first met in 1986, he was in "Precious Sons" at the Broadway Theatre. Before entering its third week on Monday, the trial has already heard testimony from Rapp over the course of several days. Unless a victim comes forward publicly, like Rapp has, the Associated Press does not typically identify those who make such allegations. 2 A missing Texas mother's body was located in Nebraska following a high-speed automobile chase with her son. On Sunday, following a high-speed police chase with the missing mother's son, the body of the mother was discovered in the trunk of the automobile. On October 13, the Harris County Sheriff's Office in Texas received a complaint of a missing teen named Tyler Roenz and his mother named Michelle. The pair's last known location is the 14700 block of Birch Arbor Court in Humble, Texas, around 11:40 a.m. The Harris County Sheriff's Office reportedly contacted Nebraska State Police on Friday, October 14, after receiving information that a vehicle they believed was connected in a killing was in the state at the time. Minutes after getting the call, the Nebraska State Police spotted the Roenzs' Mazda 3 heading west on Interstate 80. The Mazda apparently sped away from a traffic stop made by state police, prompting the officers to give chase. At "speeds in excess of 110 miles per hour," the Mazda apparently kept going down the road. Somewhere around mile 9, the vehicle apparently collided with a semitruck, careened off the road, and crashed into a tree. According to reports, upon arrival, troopers discovered the driver suffering from "severe" injuries. Furthermore, they found a woman's body in the car's trunk. Tyler Roenz, the driver, was sent to a local hospital for treatment. The victim in the trunk was confirmed to be Michelle Roenz on October 15 by the Nebraska State Police. For "ongoing treatment of injuries received when he crashed his vehicle," Tyler was moved from a local hospital to another in Omaha. 3 An Alabama doctor has been accused of promising to be a "sugar daddy" to a minor patient and engaging in sex trafficking. A 59-year-old physician is in jail after being accused of sex trafficking a 17-year-old patient. On October 4, the teen patient saw Dr. Janaki Earla, and the Birmingham Real-Time News reports that when listening to her heart, he accidentally placed the stethoscope on her breasts. Earla allegedly complemented the adolescent on her beauty and hair after the checkup, then asked for her number. The victim claims he texted her thereafter, saying, "You may text me whenever you feel like it." On Oct. 5, Earla sent the adolescent a text message inquiring about her mood and stating, "If you agree not to tell anyone, I'll be very grateful. Please don't take this the wrong way "What's going on in Birmingham right now, according to the Birmingham Real-Time News. Reports further indicate that he said, "Let's keep this between ourselves and I swear I won't tell anybody. Your parents have my utmost respect, but we need to keep this between the two of us." According to the Birmingham Real-Time News, the mother reported the event to the police on October 5 and gave them her daughter's mobile to investigate. According to the article, an undercover investigator from the FBI's Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force pretended to be the teen and carried on their conversation with the doctor. The undercover investigator claims that Earla texted him an explanation of the term "Sugar Daddy," which stated, "an older man who supports/provides for a younger woman (ex: financially) in return for companionship and/or sexual favors." In response, the operative in disguise allegedly wrote: "So are you my Suggar daddy?" in which Earla chimed in, "Yes. That's all I can say, sweetie." The undercover agent reportedly continued the conversation by asking Earla what he wanted to do to her, to which Earla allegedly responded, "Please take me and use me as you see fit. Take care of me like a lover would." The doctor "took a risk" by asking the adolescent to be his sugar baby, and he described himself as a "middle-aged unhappy man," as reported by the Birmingham Real-Time News. Earla reportedly asked to meet the teen victim, and they agreed to do so at a Days Inn in Oneonta. According to the Birmingham Real-Time News, on October 11 Earla visited the Days Inn with a box of condoms, Hpnotiq, José Cuervo, Jagermeister, a 12-pack of White Claw, and $386 in cash, all with the intention of giving the teenage girl $50. According to reports, police enforcement was waiting for Earla when he arrived, and he confessed to the crime right away. According to WBRC-TV, Earla was charged with first-degree human trafficking of a juvenile, and officials are still searching for additional potential victims. Jail records say he is still being held in the Blount County facility.

The body of a missing Texas teen's mother was recovered in the trunk of his car after a high-speed chase. Tyler Roenz, 17, is charged with unauthorized car use while investigators dig into his mother's murder, reports KTRK. Tyler's father, Manfred Roenz, reported finding a human tooth and blood in the garage, court documents show. Manfred followed the trail of blood into the master bedroom and found more fangs and blood, but he couldn't find his son or wife, Michelle Roenz, 49. The family's 2011 Mazda 4-door automobile was also missing, and Michelle's handbag and cell phone were in the master bedroom, where Manfred said she never kept them. Manfred reported his wife and son missing to the Harris County Sheriff's Office on Thursday at 12 p.m. Manfred used the Life360 app to determine that Michelle got home around 10:15 a.m. His son's monitoring information also placed him at the home, but officials said Tyler removed the app and turned it off. Surveillance footage shows the family's Mazda 3 leaving the garage at 11:44 a.m. Investigators found that the couple's Discover card was used in Richardson, Texas, Atoka, Oklahoma, and Chetopa, Kansas. Manfred accused his son of stealing his automobile. The teen could only drive to and from school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Homicide investigators obtained information that the vehicle was in Nebraska and contacted the Nebraska State Police, who immediately located it on I-80 near Grand Island. Tyler allegedly fled when police tried to stop him, sending them on a high-speed chase that reached 110 mph when his Mazda hit a semi, flew off the road, and hit a tree. Tyler's injuries weren't life-threatening. Authorities found his mother's body in the trunk when the car stopped. Michelle died of blunt force injuries and strangling, according to the sheriff's office. If you like TRUE CRIME TODAY - Be sure to search and subscribe wherever you download podcasts!
