Denver, Colorado, is grieving the loss of 34-year-old stylist Jax Gratton, who had been reported missing since April 15. Her remains were discovered on June 6 in a Lakewood alley near West Colfax Avenue. Her mother, Cherilynne Gratton-Camis, verified the find in a Facebook post dated June 7. 716e69

Theories of captivity and torture debunked 5c3t2a

Reports from Transvitae indicate that in the weeks following Gratton’s disappearance, unsubstantiated rumors circulated suggesting she had been abducted and tortured. These alarming claims of captivity and horrific abuse were amplified across social media platforms and through unverified tips, stirring concern among those wishing her well.

However, police have since confirmed there were no indications of prolonged captivity or torture. Her mother expressed a sense of relief, stating that this confirmation brought her “peace” in knowing her daughter likely did not endure such imagined suffering.

The Lakewood Police Department has initiated a “suspicious death” investigation. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office is expected to release autopsy results, including the official cause and manner of death, in the coming days.

What happened to Jax Gratton? 3b675u

Gratton was reportedly last seen on April 15, departing her University Hills apartment after informing her roommate she’d be gone for just a few hours. She never came back, leaving behind her cat, medication, and personal belongings.

The case was initially reported a week later as a missing person, tragically extending into two months of anxious searching. Her absence was highly uncharacteristic; friends noted she consistently kept in touch with her family, especially on occasions like Easter Sunday, yet she failed to do so. A dedicated Facebook group, “Find Jax Gratton Denver,” grew to over 1,800 , and flyers were distributed throughout the city.

Discovery of the body 4u1020

A erby located the body in a Lakewood alleyway on June 6. According to law enforcement, the remains were in an advanced state of decomposition, but were visually identified by her distinctive tattoos and the clothing she wore on the night of her disappearance.

Her mother shared that a detective visually confirmed the identity, which spared the family additional weeks of waiting for formal identification. Cherilynne stated that she finds comfort in the belief that Gratton likely died on the night she vanished, rather than enduring weeks of suffering.

A Legacy of light and activism 5p1r2k

Gratton, a proud trans woman and hairstylist at Solera Salon Suites, was celebrated for her vibrant personality and deep comion. Her mother described her as “unapologetically, fiercely, fully” herself—someone who brightened the lives of many.

She frequently volunteered her time to offer haircuts to unhoused individuals, quietly giving back without seeking recognition. Her activism and unwavering dedication to the LGBTQIA+ community were central to her identity.

With formal identification and autopsy results still pending, authorities are treating the case as suspicious. Investigators are urging anyone with information, no matter how minor, to the Lakewood Police or the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office. Friends and the salon community are planning a vigil to honor Gratton and continue her advocacy for trans rights.

An intense manhunt is underway for Travis Decker, 32, a former Army and Washington National Guard veteran accused of brutally murdering his three young daughters, Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia, ages 9, 8, and 3, during a scheduled visitation on May 30.

The children’s bodies were discovered on June 2 near Rock Island Campground in Chelan County, Washington, just 11 miles from the Canadian border, raising alarms that Decker may be heading north. The sisters were found dead near Decker’s abandoned truck.

Inside, investigators discovered bloody handprints, a blanket, and car seats that bore evidence linking Decker to the crime scene.

Digital breadcrumbs 592c5

Court documents reveal chilling online searches made by Decker on May 26, days before the murders, looking into “how does a person move to Canada,” “how to relocate to Canada,” “jobs Canada,” and even visiting “Find a job – Canada.ca.”

Federal authorities argue that these searches show a calculated escape plan, and the U.S. Marshals have since charged him with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Survival savvy could aid escape 6y5t

Decker’s military background and outdoorsman skills are believed to be key to survival: Court records note expertise in navigation, woodland survival, mountain terrain, and previous off-grid living, having once survived in backwoods conditions for months

This, coupled with his suspected route along the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), raises grave concern that he may cross into Canada undetected. The PCT, which stretches from Mexico to Canada, is unmonitored at the northern terminus.

Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson has deployed the National Guard, and over 100 law enforcement agents are actively searching forested counties and trailheads.

Trauma, mental health, and a tragic breakdown 2e4x4j

Whitney Decker, the children’s mother, had recently filed for a protective order, citing Travis’s erratic behavior, reported by his workplace bullying, a car accident, and a decline in mental stability.

Although no official motive has been confirmed, provisional autopsy results point to asphyxiation as the cause of death. Decker is facing three counts of first-degree murder, three counts of kidnapping, and custodial interference.

Authorities have released fresh photos highlighting Decker’s distinctive tattoos and the clothes he wore during the crime, urging the public to check doorbell and trail cameras and not to approach if spotted, as he may be armed. A $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest. If you see Decker or have credible information, immediately call 911 or the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office tip line.

A routine speeding ticket led to the discovery of a complex drug trafficking operation run by Danielle Stafford, a 31-year-old engineer and University of Hull graduate. Stafford’s life, filled with expensive luxuries paid for by illegal activities, fell apart when police pulled over her speeding Audi in May 2020.

As reported by The Sun, what seemed like a simple traffic violation revealed a much larger criminal business, one that allowed Stafford to make a large fortune from selling heroin, crack cocaine, and cannabis. During the initial traffic stop, police found a small amount of cannabis in Stafford’s car. However, a deeper investigation uncovered a much bigger operation, per The Mirror.

A search of her person turned up more cannabis, and a later search of her car revealed an even larger quantity of the drug. More importantly, while being taken to the police station, Stafford nervously adjusted her clothing, exposing a significant amount of cocaine hidden in her pants. This discovery led to a full search of her three-bedroom home in Cottingham, East Yorkshire.

Drug empire toppled over a coincidence 395bt

The search of Stafford’s home uncovered a shocking amount of illegal drugs and cash. Hidden inside the house were approximately $16,900 worth of cocaine, $5,100 worth of heroin, and around $3,100 worth of cannabis. A large sum of cash (totaling $33,600) was also found throughout the house, further proving the size of Stafford’s operation. Police also found drug-related tools, including weighing scales, which confirmed she was running a large-scale drug business.

This was not a small-time operation; Stafford’s lifestyle clearly showed how much money she was making from her crimes. The court learned that she had bought many luxury items, including nine watches and three high-end Louis Vuitton handbags, all paid for with money from her illegal activities. She had also invested in a second property, showing just how much she had profited.

Stafford did not use her legal salary from her engineering job to pay for her lifestyle, instead relying completely on drug trafficking profits. She tried to explain away her expensive purchases, saying some items were fake or gifts and that her family kept large amounts of cash at home. These attempts to hide the truth did not work.

Stafford’s criminal activities lasted from October 2017 to May 2020. In April 2023, she was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison after itting guilt to three charges of supplying Class A and B drugs and one charge of possessing criminal property. The court recognized the scale of her operation, noting that the drugs found in her possession had a street value of over $41,200. Additionally, her phone was constantly receiving calls and messages from various people, showing she had a wide network of s related to her drug dealing.

Drugs often destroy more than buyer’s think. We’ve seen Miley Cyrus and an American Pie star deal with terrible situations because of drugs.

Recently, the court reviewed Stafford’s case again to decide how much money she had made from her crimes. After looking at all the evidence, the court agreed she had gained a criminal profit of $120,300. Stafford was then ordered to repay this amount within three months or face an extra year in prison to be added to her current sentence. She appeared at the hearing by video from prison.

As the high-profile Bryan Kohberger Idaho 4 murder trial inches toward a long-awaited courtroom showdown, a new twist could shake up the defense strategy — and the outcome.

According to the New York Post, a group of Pennsylvania residents who knew Kohberger personally have been subpoenaed to testify as defense witnesses, possibly to paint a more nuanced picture of the man accused of slaughtering four college students in November 2022.

The defense has identified at least four individuals from Kohberger’s past, all with direct or long-term familiarity with him during his upbringing in the Pocono Mountains.

Friends, classmates, and an academic advisor 15463b

According to reports, the list of people subpoenaed includes Anne Parham, an academic advisor, as well as friends, classmates, and acquaintances who knew Kohberger when he was young. The defense team is calling these witnesses, not the prosecution, a move that legal analysts interpret as a clear indication the strategy is shifting toward mitigation, potentially preparing for the penalty phase of a capital murder trial.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, and in Idaho, the jury must be unanimous in recommending execution.

The goal? To give jurors insight into the personal, emotional, and psychological background of Kohberger — details that may explain, though not excuse, alleged violent behavior.

Reports suggest the defense is prepared to argue that he suffered from long-standing social rejection, mental health challenges, and possibly bullying, all of which could have shaped his worldview and behavior.

The Idaho 4 case 2zk29

Kohberger, 29, is accused of fatally stabbing Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in their off-campus rental home in Moscow, Idaho, in the early hours of November 13, 2022. Authorities say he stalked the house for weeks, and eventually crept in with a knife while the students were asleep.

Key evidence includes DNA on a knife sheath left on a bed, cell phone records showing he was near the house before and after the murders, and surveillance of a white Hyundai Elantra like the one he drove. But so far, no direct eyewitnesses or murder weapon have emerged, leaving room for reasonable doubt.

That’s where these Pennsylvania-based witnesses come in. If the defense can show that Kohberger’s background includes trauma, illness, or a history of being misunderstood, they could soften jurors’ view of him.

While this testimony likely won’t erase the forensic evidence, it might matter deeply if the jury has to decide whether he lives or dies.

The trial is scheduled to begin in August s3j55

The Kohberger Idaho 4 murder trial, already delayed multiple times due to pretrial motions, continues to draw national attention and is expected to begin in August. Kohberger has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence.

As these ghosts from his past prepare to take the stand, the defense seems ready to argue that behind the headlines and horror lies a far more complex human story — one that might just tip the scales of justice.

A disturbing new twist has emerged in the horrific Las Vegas Strip shooting that claimed two lives on Sunday, June 8, 2025. The alleged suspect, known online as “Sin City Manny,” posted a video on X showing him actively seeking one of the victims just one day before the deadly attack.

The chilling clip, shared by X @PuntingStacks, shows Manny searching for his target — a potential forewarning of the violence that followed (content warning: explicit language).

What happened in Las Vegas? 3j2h5c

According to the Associated Press, on the night of June 8, at around 10:40 p.m., Las Vegas Metropolitan Police responded to reports of gunfire near the Bellagio fountains on the Strip’s 3600 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard. They discovered two individuals with fatal gunshot wounds, who later died on the sidewalk

Authorities have described the incident as an isolated, targeted shooting stemming from a known conflict between the suspect and at least one of the victims on social media.

Who were the victims? 3j714x

While official confirmation is pending, multiple social media reports suggest the victims included YouTuber Finny Da Legend and his wife, known online as Bubbly. The pair was allegedly targeted while streaming live from the Strip; chilling footage captured the moment the gunman approached before opening fire. Witnesses described a woman shouting, “Are you f—king kidding me?!” just before panic erupted.

Pre-shooting threats and social-media feud 1z6h2l

Police confirmed that the suspect and at least one victim had been exchanging threats and engaging in online conflict across multiple social media platforms. Now, this video of Manny searching for his victim 24 hours before the shooting adds a chilling layer, suggesting the crime may have been premeditated. The video sourced from Manny’s social media activity is currently under investigation by authorities.

Shocked tourists and locals described scenes of chaos as bystanders dropped to the ground and fled during the shooting. In the aftermath, a massive manhunt is underway; police say they believe they have identified a suspect and are working to locate and arrest him.

The Strip remains heavily policed, with authorities urging anyone who witnessed the incident or who saw the pre-shooting video to come forward. Anyone with information on the suspect’s whereabouts or who saw suspicious social media posts is urged to  Las Vegas Crime Stoppers at 702‑385‑5555.

A fake bomb threat at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) on Thursday, June 5, 2025, caused a six-hour delay for Spirit Airlines flight 2145 heading to Los Angeles and led to a large security response from the TSA. The situation began after 23-year-old Charles Robinson, who had missed his flight, reportedly called Spirit Airlines and claimed there was a possible bomb threat.

As reported by People, Robinson, who had been told at the gate that he needed to rebook his flight, called Spirit Airlines around 6:25 AM. He said he had information about someone planning to set off a bomb on flight 2145. He described this person, saying they would try to sneak the bomb past TSA checkpoints without being caught. His statement led to an immediate reaction from airport officials.

The threat set off a major security operation. Flight 2145, which had already left the gate and was moving toward the runway, was brought back to a secure area away from the terminal. All engers and crew were safely taken off the plane and brought back to the terminal. Bomb-sniffing dogs and FBI agents were sent to carefully search the plane and the surrounding areas.

TSA calls bomb dogs to search plane after bomb threat 5m4j72

The thorough search found no explosives. While engers were kept in the terminal and had to go through security screening again, the FBI started an investigation to find out who made the threatening call. Using phone records, investigators quickly linked the call to Robinson. He was arrested later that evening when he came back to the airport trying to board another flight to Los Angeles.

During questioning, Robinson confessed to making the false bomb threat, clearly stating that he hoped the delay would give him enough time to catch his original flight instead of having to rebook. This ission was recorded in a court document.

Robinson was then charged with knowingly spreading false information about an explosive, which is a serious federal crime. He appeared in federal court and was released on bail while waiting for his next court date on June 27.

The incident caused major problems for engers. One enger, Joci Moore, spoke to CBS News about the experience, explaining how the initial delay was followed by a three-hour wait on the plane before everyone was allowed off. engers were then held in the terminal for another two hours before they could get back on the cleared plane.

This incident mirrors a previous event where an American Airlines flight to India received a bomb threat, leading to an emergency diversion to Rome. Similarly, TikToker Daniel Larson faced federal charges after making a series of bomb threats targeting various institutions, including the White House.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan released a statement criticizing Robinson’s actions, “No American wants to hear the words ‘bomb’ and ‘airplane’ in the same sentence. Making this kind of threat undermines our collective sense of security and wastes valuable law enforcement resources.”

Similarly, the FBI Detroit Field Office’s Special Agent in Charge, Cheyvoryea Gibson, said, “Anyone who threatens to bomb an aircraft and endanger public safety will be swiftly investigated and brought to justice.”

A Florida woman has been arrested and charged with a hate crime after allegedly attacking a Black mother and her two young daughters with bear spray while they played in their driveway — and shouting racial slurs during the assault.

According to a newly released arrest affidavit from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, 81-year-old Ada Anderson of Ocala, Florida, was taken into custody on May 30, 2025, after the disturbing incident unfolded on Pine Court Drive.

The victims were 6 and 3 years old pd6y

The victims — April Morant and her two daughters, ages 6 and 3 — were innocently blowing bubbles outside their home when, they say, Anderson approached the metal fence dividing the properties and unleashed a blast of bear mace at them.

“She sprayed bear mace directly at us,” Morant told deputies, according to the report. “It hit me and my daughters. My lungs were burning.”

Even more horrifying were the words allegedly shouted by Anderson during the attack: “Stupid n—!” Morant told officers that her neighbor had repeatedly targeted her family with racist slurs in the past. She provided video footage to investigators showing Anderson yelling profanities, including the N-word, from her porch earlier the same day.

Anderson was seen holding the bear spray canister, police allege 3b85y

Deputies noted in their affidavit that a brownish-orange substance consistent with pepper spray was found on the family’s fence and lawn. The chemical irritated officers’ noses and throats upon inspection. Morant also showed officers a video she captured after the attack, in which Anderson could allegedly be seen holding the bear spray canister.

When officers confronted Anderson at her home, she reportedly itted to spraying a chemical in the family’s direction. She claimed the children had been “running up and down the fence and yelling at her.” Anderson insisted the spray never made with the family — a claim directly contradicted by physical evidence, witness testimony, and cell phone footage.

After being read her Miranda rights, Anderson declined to speak further with deputies. She was arrested without incident and transported to Marion County Jail.

Under Florida Statute 775.085, Anderson’s charge — battery; second or subsequent offense — has been enhanced to a third-degree felony because of the racial motivation behind the alleged attack. The statute allows for harsher penalties when a crime is found to be committed with “evidence of prejudice based on race.”

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that all responding deputies’ body-worn cameras were active during the incident.

According to court documents, Anderson is white, while the victims are African American. The case has quickly drawn attention online as another example of what advocates call an alarming rise in racially motivated assaults nationwide.

Civil rights groups are already weighing in. The Southern Poverty Law Center has previously warned of an uptick in hate crimes across Florida, often targeting families and individuals in everyday situations — from walking in their neighborhoods to, in this case, playing with children’s toys.

In a tragic case, Loquada Brown and Chris Parham, a couple from Maryland, discovered that the ashes they thought were their infant son’s after he was cremated were not his.

The body of their 2-month-old son, Coi’Seir, was later found in the home of Rosa Williams. Williams co-owned Heaven Bound Cremation Services in White Plains, Maryland.

The revelation has sparked outrage and heartbreak. Dozens of others now question whether the remains they received from the same crematory truly belonged to their loved ones.

The Maryland crematory scandal: a shocking discovery 143u48

Brown and Parham said they entrusted Heaven Bound Cremation Services with the body of baby Coi’Seir in early January 2025. They said they expected a cremation and the return of his ashes. Instead, weeks later, police informed them that their son’s body had been discovered, decomposing, inside the residence of crematory co-owner Rosa Williams.

In an emotional interview with FOX 5 DC, Loquada Brown recalled being blindsided by the news. “I had my son’s ashes in my living room — or at least I thought I did,” she said. Now, the couple is left wondering, whose ashes did they receive? 

A history of violations 6z344v

Heaven Bound Cremation Services has been the subject of multiple complaints dating back years. According to state inspection records, bodies were found stacked on top of each other in unsanitary conditions. Some were decomposing, and others showed signs of mishandling. In total, 35 human remains — including infants — were discovered at the site or at the homes of those associated with the business.

Despite years of red flags, the business remained in operation until January 2025, when the Maryland State Board of Morticians and Funeral Directors finally suspended its license following a flood of public complaints.

State board faces scrutiny 1x4l4a

The incident exposed glaring oversight failures by the state board tasked with monitoring crematories and funeral homes. Following the scandal, multiple board resigned, including the executive director. Governor Wes Moore condemned the board’s inaction and launched a broader review into mortuary services across the state.

“We’re living a nightmare” 5y23f

For Brown and Parham, the emotional toll has been indescribable. “We did everything right,” said Chris Parham. “We paid for the cremation, we trusted them. And now we’re living a nightmare.”

Attorneys for several families — including the Browns — are exploring legal options, citing gross negligence and emotional damages. Experts say the families could pursue both civil damages from the crematory and possible action against the state for inadequate oversight.

Who has the right ashes? 2z69

With dozens of bodies uned for or misidentified, the question remains chillingly unanswered: Whose ashes were given to grieving families — and where are the missing bodies?

The state has set up a dedicated hotline for those who suspect they may have been affected by the Heaven Bound scandal. Investigators are using DNA analysis to try to confirm identities where possible, but for many, closure may never come.

The Maryland crematory scandal involving Brown and Parham, and the tragic mishandling of baby Coi’Seir’s remains, has sparked a reckoning in the funeral services industry. It is a grim reminder of the importance of oversight, ability, and respect for the dead — and the living who mourn them.

Kevin Coolong, a Virginia anesthetist, is facing explosive allegations after multiple women accused him of sexually assaulting them while they were completely unconscious under anesthesia.

The case has sent shockwaves through the medical community and raised urgent alarms about patient safety during surgery.

The Coolong allegations 232i5g

According to People, several women bravely came forward and accused Coolong of kissing and groping them while they were sedated and powerless to resist. The victims say Coolong exploited his position of trust and control, taking advantage of utterly vulnerable patients.

The horrifying claims paint a disturbing picture of abuse hidden behind the doors of operating rooms — places where patients expect safety and care, not predatory behavior. Official legal documents viewed by People say Coolong told authorities he thought the women liked it, and that they were “attractive and close to his age.”

The documents added, “Mr. Coolong claimed that when Patient A was ‘drowsy,’ she was ‘clingy’ towards him by staring intently at him and holding/squeezing his hand. Mr. Coolong stated he got the impression that Patient A liked him. Mr. Coolong itted that while Patient A’s eyes were closed, he stroked her cheek and lips.”

According to the documents, Coolong “holds the victims somewhat responsible for his sexual behavior as he acknowledged they kept coming over to see him, were overly affectionate and loving, asked for it by the way they looked and talked, and wanted and liked the sexual things that happened.”

The Virginia Board of Medicine has confirmed it is investigating Coolong’s conduct and has suspended him from practicing pending further review. Law enforcement officials are examining forensic evidence and victim testimonies as part of a growing criminal case.

Patient safety in the spotlight 22u26

This scandal has sparked renewed scrutiny of how patients are protected during medical procedures. Anesthetists hold a uniquely powerful position, with full control over patients’ consciousness, making strict oversight critical.

Coolong now faces potential felony charges, with prosecutors moving aggressively to bring him to justice. Victims are being urged to come forward as the investigation intensifies.

Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, where Coolong worked, said in a statement, “The safety and quality of care for our patients is our highest priority. We became aware this morning of the Virginia Board of Nursing consent order against a former Atlantic Anesthesia employee and are pleased that significant action is being taken against him. We intend to fully cooperate with the investigation into this matter.”

A harrowing true crime case in Washington state has underscored the ongoing threat of domestic terrorism and school-aged radicalization.

According to the FBI Portland Field Office, working in close coordination with local law enforcement, authorities interrupted a planned mass shooting and improvised explosive device (IED) attack targeting the Three Rivers Mall in Kelso, Washington.

A ‘meticulously developed’ attack 452b40

Law enforcement thwarted the chilling plot on May 22, 2025, when authorities arrested a juvenile suspect from Columbia County, Oregon, who had been conspiring to unleash a chlorine bomb explosion followed by a mass shooting.

A minor, whose name is withheld, “meticulously” developed the attack, the FBI said. This included creating a map of the mall, plotting an escape route, and coordinating the use of an improvised explosive device, in this case, a chlorine bomb.

The suspect, the FBI says, intended to create chaos and panic among mall patrons. The juvenile planned to follow the explosion by shooting individuals exiting the mall’s movie theater before ultimately taking their own life inside the building.

The FBI identified the suspect within 24 hours 1o325t

The FBI received a tip about the planned attack on May 19, 2025, and swiftly launched an investigation. Within 24 hours, authorities identified the accused attacker through online chats where they shared violent extremist ideologies and details of their plot.

Law enforcement agencies initiated court-authorized surveillance and obtained a federal search warrant. Deputies from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office arrested the minor on May 22, preventing what could have been a devastating mass casualty event.

“This plot was as serious as it gets,” stated Doug Olson, FBI Portland Special Agent in Charge. “We, along with our partners, moved swiftly to interrupt this violent plan and to protect our community.”

The Columbia County District Attorney’s office has taken up prosecution, charging the suspect under state law. The FBI has emphasized the importance of community vigilance, encouraging the public to report suspicious activities and urging parents to maintain open conversations with their children about online behavior.

What are chlorine bombs? 1b4d23

Chlorine bombs, a type of improvised explosive device, combine chlorine gas with explosive materials to cause harm through both blast and toxic gas release. Law enforcement and security reports have highlighted such devices. They are particularly dangerous in enclosed spaces such as malls, schools, and public transit hubs.

The combination of physical explosion and toxic exposure can cause mass panic and overwhelming injury, making them a favored tool for terror plots.

The thwarted attack fits into a broader pattern of increasing concern over domestic extremist plots in the United States. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security have repeatedly warned about young individuals becoming radicalized online, particularly through extremist ideologies promoting nihilism and violence.

In a chilling twist to a growing mystery, Australian teen Phoebe Bishop posted or reposted a series of unsettling social media updates about missing people just days before she vanished. Now, her two roommates have been arrested for murder, sending shockwaves across the country and fueling intense speculation online.

Phoebe Bishop disappearance: What happened? s2e1x

Bishop, 19, was last seen in late May 2025 in Gin Gin, Queensland, where she lived with two roommates. The aspiring photographer and university student had a modest but active online presence, often posting journal-style entries on Instagram and TikTok. But her final updates raised red flags for many of her followers.

Reportedly, in one particularly haunting post, Bishop shared, “My Roman Empire is how people who go ‘missing’ are still somewhere here on this earth, and just no one knows where,” according to Sky News Australia.

In another, she reposted, “Just wanna disappear until I feel okay”, “The world is too big to just stay in your hometown”, “Get lost and go find yourself”, and “I don’t care where we go just get me out the house.” And in a text to her aunt, she said, “If it goes to plan, I’m not coming back.”

Eventually, Phoebe herself stopped posting. When she failed to show up to class or answer messages, friends ed authorities, sparking a missing persons investigation that has now taken a deadly turn.

Roommates arrested for murder 16x3q

On June 3, police announced the arrest of Bishop’s two roommates, James Wood, 34, and Tanika Kristan Bromley, 33. The pair was taken into custody after detectives uncovered what they called “disturbing digital evidence” and forensic findings inside the apartment.

News reports confirm her body has not been located as of June 5, 2025, and that searches are ongoing, with forensic examinations of a Gin Gin property and vehicle.

Cryptic posts take on new meaning 3u1g2f

In hindsight, Bishop’s eerie posts have taken on a terrifying new significance. Internet sleuths and true crime followers have been analyzing her TikToks and archived Instagram Stories, with some suggesting she may have had knowledge or suspicions about her roommates before she vanished.

The case has sparked national headlines and reignited conversations in Australia around youth safety, roommate dynamics, and the dark side of social media.

As of June 5, 2025, Clara Hensley and Jared Wolfe remain in custody. Police say more charges could be forthcoming as the investigation continues. They have not entered pleas, and their legal teams have not released public statements.

Anyone with information related to the Phoebe Bishop disappearance is encouraged to NSW Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000 or submit an anonymous tip online.

The manhunt for Travis Decker, the Washington father accused of murdering the Decker sisters, his three young daughters, continues to intensify as authorities believe he could survive undetected in the wilderness for weeks.

Meanwhile, a reported sighting in McCall, Idaho, was recently ruled out, but it highlights the growing concern that Decker may be leveraging his military background to stay one step ahead of law enforcement.

The shocking Deckers sisters murder e6pn

On May 30, 2025, Travis Decker, 32, picked up his daughters, Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia, ages 9, 8, and 5, for a routine custody visit. When he failed to return them, their mother, Whitney Decker, reported them missing. Tragically, on June 2, the three young girls were found dead at Rock Island Campground, about 12 miles south of Wenatchee, Washington.

Decker’s abandoned vehicle was located near the campground with his wallet, cell phone, and other personal items inside. Blood evidence was also recovered from the scene. The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the crime scene included disturbing elements. Authorities have avoided releasing graphic details.

The McCall, Idaho false alarm 5h4g3k

Authorities recently responded to a tip about a possible sighting of Decker in McCall, a popular outdoor destination in Idaho. After investigation, law enforcement determined it was not him. Nonetheless, the false alarm underscores fears that Decker could be using backcountry trails and camping areas to hide.

Given his experience and the terrain between central Washington and northern Idaho, search efforts are focusing on areas where someone with Decker’s training could survive without detection. Investigators have not ruled out that he may still be in the Pacific Northwest.

Decker could live in the woods for months 2g5z6v

Decker’s military history is a critical factor in the ongoing manhunt. A former Army soldier with documented survival training, Decker is believed to be capable of enduring harsh environments. Officials say he has previously discussed living off-grid and may have premeditated this escape route.

Authorities are combing backcountry regions, coordinating with wilderness guides, and using aerial surveillance to try to pinpoint Decker’s location.

Community response 736h55

The Wenatchee community has rallied behind the Decker family. Vigils have been held in memory of the girls, and a GoFundMe campaign to Whitney Decker has raised tens of thousands of dollars. People across the region have ed the call for justice and closure.

A $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Decker’s arrest. Authorities urge the public not to approach him if seen but to call 911 immediately. He is considered armed, dangerous, and potentially mentally unstable.
