Pete Kotz http://www.truecrimereport.com ​UPDATE: Suspect Christopher J. Monfort, a criminal justice student, shot by Seattle police. See update after the jump...Seattle police training officer Timothy Brenton was sitting in a squad with student officer Brit Sweeney Halloween night, reviewing a traffic stop.

Then they heard about six shots fire back. When it was all over, Brenton was dead, killed instantly. Sweeney, who was able to get off return fire, was injured and taken to the hospital... tag:www.truecrimereport.com,2009://149.259612 2009-11-07 11:26:50 2009-11-07T16:26:55Z

Pete Kotz http://www.truecrimereport.com ​UPDATE: A woman says she went to three police precincts to file a missing person's report. But she couldn't find a Cleveland cop willing to do it. See update after the jump... Fawcett Bess owns Bess Chicken and Pizza, across the street from the home of Anthony Sowell. This is where police found the bodies of 11 women -- left in the attic, stuffed in crawl spaces, and buried in his backyard. This is also where Cleveland police were called to at least five times in the weeks and months leading up to the discovery. But they did almost no investigation. Bess recalls an incident two weeks before police discovered the bodies. He found a naked Sowell standing in the bushes next to his house. On the ground was a naked woman bloodied and beaten. Bess called 911 and an ambulance took the woman away. But police didn't arrive until two hours later -- and never bothered to interview him... tag:www.truecrimereport.com,2009://149.259987 2009-11-07 10:43:50 2009-11-07T18:08:21Z

Pete Kotz http://www.truecrimereport.com ​Reader "A Friend" responds to Christina McIntyre Watched and Did Nothing as Her Son Smothered Her Baby. She says Christina's friends did reach out, but the mom kept feeding her lies, according to her friend:"I am a friend of Christina's. Yes her husband cheated on her and there were other circumstances in which they seperated. She was living in Texas at the time and moved to Florida to be with family. She lived with her aunt and did not have to pay bills. The father lives in Texas still. He did send money to her as she told me this herself but it was not enough... "There are lots of parents who don't get support at all from their children's father and they don't try to kill their kids. Yes both kids are fine and are in custody of family. It is awful that she felt this was her way out. Christina reached out to many of us in her time of despair but she also had lies upon lies flowing from her mouth. We were getting stories that were filled with lies. Whatever she could say to get attention. "I know her children. Both are very sweet and my children have played with the older child. I know Christina very well too and I can't believe that she did this as the person I knew was all about her kids. I don't know what made her do this and at this point don't care all I care about is those sweet boys making a better life without her. "She needs to get help and never be allowed with her children again. Thats my opinion. If she wasn't happy with her current situation then she should have tried to change it. We all offered her advise and even a place to live. I myself told her she could move in with me and I would keep her kids while she worked but in reality she is the only one who could make a better life for herself and her kids. "Don't blame her friends and family for not stepping in until you know what we have done. Help was there she chose not to take it." tag:www.truecrimereport.com,2009://149.259091 2009-11-07 05:59:06 2009-11-04T20:20:36Z

Pete Kotz http://www.truecrimereport.com ​UPDATE: A mysterious fire was started at the Almaleki home this morning. See update after the jump...Noor Faleh Almaleki, who was ran over by her dad in an attempted honor killing in Arizona last month, is dead. The attack happened October 20 when Faleh Hassan Almaleki ran her and her boyfriend's mother over with his truck in a state government parking lot. While the other woman survived, Noor underwent spinal surgery after the attack. She fell into a coma and never recovered, dying at age 20... Faleh Almaleki was angry that his married daughter was living with her boyfriend​Faleh was upset that Noor, married in Iraq, moved in with her boyfriend and his mother when she arrived in America. The two had fought for years, said her brother. And dad was an Iraqi traditionalist who insisted his daughter carry on the old ways. The fighting culminated when he tried to kill her with his Jeep Cherokee.Faleh fled to Mexico, then boarded a plane for London. But English officials wouldn't let him enter the country, and he was promptly sent back on a plane to Atlanta, where he was arrested. He's already confessed to the crime, say prosecutors. Now, in addition to aggravated assault, he'll be charged with murder.UPDATE: A mysterious fire at the Almaleki home this morning.At 4 a.m., the smoke alarm went off due to flames that ignited somewhere in the garage. At least nine people were forced from the residence as police subdued the blaze before it spread to the rest of the home. Fire investigators don't know if it was started by accident or error, or whether it was arson. We'll keep you posted.See previous story Faleh Almaleki Runs Over Daughter in Attempted Honor Killing. tag:www.truecrimereport.com,2009://149.259697 2009-11-06 15:04:48 2009-11-07T04:56:21Z

Pete Kotz http://www.truecrimereport.com ​UPDATE: Carol Thomas was murdered because she sold rock salt as dope. See update after the jump...A former boyfriend said 23-year-old Carol Thomas planned to get a ride to visit him in Kansas City Wednesday night. But according to police, witnesses saw her attacked by at least three people, then stuffed in the trunk of a red Pontiac Grand Am. When police arrived, Carol was gone. But they did find a stun gun at the scene. Today, they found Carol.A farmer saw a car leaving a field Wednesday night and called police. A search today turned up a burned out car and a body that apparently matches Carol's... But detectives also received a stroke of good luck in the case. A landlord in rural Lawson, Missouri reported seeing suspicious activity. That's where cops arrested four people -- two women and two men -- who are believed to be friends of Carol's. One reportedly owns a car matching the Grand Am. All are said to be in their 20s, though one of women is being detained as a person of interest and is said to be a witness in the case.Jennifer Saling is accused of taking part in the kidnapping and picking up the two men who killed Carol​UPDATE: A suspect confesses that Carol Thomas was murdered because she sold rock salt disguised as dope. James Reardon, 21; Erik Zimmerman, 29, and Jennifer Saling, 21, have been charged in the kidnapping and murder of Carol. A fourth person originally detained has been released but provided information. According to Zimmerman's confession, Carol was murdered because she sold the three $500 worth of rock salt that presumably was supposed to be coke or meth. How these geniuses fell for that in the first place remains unknown. But when they discovered they were duped, they suddenly got very serious about revenge.Carol seemed to be worried about something the night she disappeared. She was supposed to get a ride to visit her ex-boyfriend, Thomas Sullivan, in Kansas City. "When I talked to her, she said there was something she needed to talk to me about," Sullivan told Fox4KC. "She couldn't tell me on the phone." But she never showed up. Erik Zimmerman has confessed to the abduction and murder​Instead, Carol was seen being kidnapped and stuffed in the trunk of a car Wednesday evening. But during the abduction, the morons left behind two cell phones and a stun gun. A witness brought them to police. Zimmerman told the cops that he, Reardon and Saling drove toward Missouri City. At one point they called to have a friend bring them some gas, and Saling drove away with the friend. Zimmerman said that he and Reardon then drove into a farmer's field as Carol kicked out the back seat and screamed in the trunk.When they stopped, he claims Reardon pulled Carol from the trunk, shot her twice in the head, then threw her down a hill. At some point they arranged to have Saling pick them up, and Reardon set the kidnapping car on fire. Saling is claiming she knows nothing of the incident (See her MySpace page here, where she goes by the name Sexy Jenny and you can even rate her looks on a "Hotameter.") Reardon has admitted that the dropped cell phones were his, but he claims Carol stole them from him. So far, the three have only been charged with kidnapped, but they're likely to get lit up with additional charges very soon. digg_url = 'http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Girl_Murdered_After_Selling_Rock_Salt_As_Meth?OTC-widget'; tag:www.truecrimereport.com,2009://149.259915 2009-11-06 12:07:59 2009-11-06T17:08:47Z
