PARENTS BEWARE … It appears that a man has attempted to lure young girls into his pickup in both Pineville and Mount Holly County, NC. The driver is said to be a white male driving a red pick up. It is said that he offered them candy Luckily in both cases, the girls ages 11, 13, 10 and 11 refused the ride and reported the incident to family members.
Police in Mount Holly say two girls reported being approached by a man in a pickup truck Monday and asked if they wanted to ride with him. The girls, ages 11 and 13, tell police the driver offered them candy.
It sounds similar to a case last week in Pineville, where two girls — ages 10 and 11 — told police that a white man with a mustache in a red pickup truck offered them candy if they would take a ride with him. That truck had silver flames on the side, the girls said.
Description:
- The driver was reported to be in a red pickup truck.
- He was described as a white man with a mustache.
- The children in the Mount Holly case did not mention the silver flames in their description of the truck. (Charlotte Observer)

Brian Rooney, a suspect in the disappearance and murder of UVM senior Michelle Gargner-Quinn will be in court today for a separate sex offense. This sexual offense charge dates back to 1998 and revolves around a sexual assault on a minor. One question that immediately comes to the forefront is why only now is Brian Rooney being arraigned on the 1998 sex offense charge against a minor? Looking back on events, maybe our society might have been a little more safer if Brian Rooney had either been in jail or had to have registered as a sex offender.
(Suspect: Brian Rooney)
Authorities may want to explain why Brian Rooney was allowed to walk among us when he was considered a danger. They just forgot about him. How many times will these things happen when a sex offender is only deemed a danger after they kill? Who does not think that the “sexual assault on, and lewd and lascivious conduct with, a minor” was just not a precursor of offenses to come?
Thirty-six-year-old Brian Rooney was the last person seen with 21-year-old Michelle Gardner-Quinn before she disappeared on October seventh. Surveillance camera footage from a jewelry store shows them walking down a Burlington street. Gardner-Quinn was found dead in a ravine on October 13th.

Brian Rooney, 36, will be arraigned today from an incident from Essex County, VT where he was charged with a sexual assault on, and lewd and lascivious conduct with, a minor.
Both charges, stemming from a 1988 incident in Essex County, were brought as a result of information that came to light as cops probed him about Michelle Gardner-Quinn’s disappearance. (NY Post)
The police continue to pursue leads that point to Brian Rooney being the primary suspect in the murder of Michelle Gardner-Quinn. Rooney was the last person seen with Michelle the last night she was seen alive. Garner-Quinn also used Rooney’s cell phone the night she disappeared.
Burlington Police continue to build a case against Brian Rooney in the homicide investigation of 21-year old Michelle Gardner Quinn. A call that the victim made on Rooney’s cell phone led police to the 36-year old construction worker. Rooney was the last person seen with Gardner-Quinn before she disappeared early Saturday morning a week ago. When hikers discovered her body at Huntington Gorge yesterday, police made the arrest, and as Burlington police chief Tom Tremblay phrased it, now it’s as if a whole new investigation has started. Police on Saturday said they are in no position to release any information of significance. They still need the public’s help. (WCAX)
Brian Rooney has been a “person of interest” and suspect from the outset, closely being watched by authorities.
… but investigators still need to know more about the hours right after he was caught on a security camera, walking up Main Street with the victim shortly after 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning. “Our investigation continues to focus on Brian Rooney’s actions and whereabouts during the time period from Saturday, October 7th at 2:30 a.m. to mid-morning Monday, October 9th. We are also interested in information regarding the red Jeep Grand Cherokee,” said Stubbing.
Police impounded the Jeep they say Rooney drove, but they say there is no evidence that would indicate the victim was ever in it. Still, police want to know where the vehicle was during the week. They also want to know where Rooney was.

Juan Miguel Medrano is presently arrested and was denied bond. He is being charged with aggravated assault among others.
A judge denied bond Monday for Medrano, who was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child, unlawful restraint and endangerment, and child abandonment.
Medrana smuggled his 14 year old step daughter across the Texas-Mexican border what was to be for the purpose of going to school. Instead he held her captive and sexually abused her.
The girl, who suffered “substantial bodily injury,” told detectives she had moved in with Juan Miguel Medrano about six months ago but had been kept in the trailer, sometimes with her ankle chained, for about the past two months, according to arrest records. She said Medrano sexually abused her and sometimes got her drunk. (The Guardian)

Oakland police have arrested 41 year old Earl Stefanson is the torture and murder of 36 year old Leslie Lamb. It appears from their investigation that Stefanson may have killed two other woman in his home as well. What they found in Stefanson’s home upon attaining a search warrant was chilling.
VIDEO
Police said they were able to determine that Lamb had not been inside the car where Stefanson claimed to have found her.
Police said they determined Stefanson had a history of abusing Lamb.
When authorities searched his home in the 3400 block of Coolidge Avenue, they found Lamb’s blood and the blood of two other unidentified women.
Police said Stefanson tortured her in a room set up in his basement, which they described as frightening.
(The home on the 3400 block of Coolidge Avenue in Oakland where police arrested Earl Stefanson, SF Chronicle)
The authorities did not go into great detail regarding the basement; however, it was described as something like out of “Silence of the Lambs”. Police are trying to determine who the woman are who the blood belonged to. Stefanson has a history of abusing women. Police are trying to determine whether there are more women out there who may have been abused by Stafanson and ask that they come forward.
It appeared as if Stefanson had made an attempt to clean up the blood and conceal evidence of Lamb having been at the residence, Jones said. At this point, police have no idea who the other two victims are or even whether they are dead or alive.
When police attempted to arrest Stefanson Tuesday night, he led them on a lengthy chase through Oakland and Hayward, Jones said.
Oakland police, with assistance from Hayward police, were eventually able to capture Stefanson and take him into custody. (NBC San Diego)
A former wife of an Stefanson she had lived in fear of her husband and endured “major abuse” during their relationship a decade ago.
She said the abuse stopped only after she and her husband, Earl Stefanson, were arrested for running a methamphetamine lab in Butte County.
“I was forced to be there. I was afraid to leave,” said the woman, who has since remarried and asked that she not be named because she was afraid for her safety. “I lived in a state of fear.”
Stefanson, 41, the son of an ex-president of the Hells Angels’ Oakland chapter, was charged Thursday with murdering Leslie Lamb, a single mother who police said was his girlfriend. Police said he had a torture chamber in his home in the Oakland foothills and that they fear he may have harmed other women. (San Francisco Chronicle)
Earl Stefanson has quite the checkered past:
-
Ex-wife said she had suffered regular abuse from Stefanson during their five-year marriage. She would not go into details, but said the abuse did not include torture.
-
In 1995, she and Stefanson were arrested for allegedly making methamphetamine and growing marijuana in Oroville (Butte County).
-
Stefanson pleaded no contest in June 1996 and was sentenced to nine years in state prison for running a methamphetamine lab.
-
she had often seen her daughter with black eyes and bruises. “She got away safe,” she said.
-
Court records show that another ex-wife of Stefanson’s, Antonia Gutierrez, obtained a restraining order against him in Fresno County in 1985, alleging harassment.
-
The younger Stefanson had one previous encounter with police in Oakland: In 2004, he pleaded no contest to lewd conduct and being drunk in public after police found him masturbating in a pickup truck near 15th and Castro streets, records show. (

Former school teacher, 25 year old Janelle Marie Bird who had previously been found guilty of “two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor and two lesser counts of unnatural and lascivious act” was sentenced to two years in prison. Seems like a much different sentence than also convicted teacher, Debra LaFave
Bird admitted having a relationship with a 15-year-old boy at East Hill Christian School. Both testified during the trial that they loved each other.
Defense attorney Jerry Allred had asked that Bird be placed on probation and serve no time in prison. A telephone message left at his office after business hours was not returned.
As a result of her conviction, Bird must register as a sex offender with local authorities wherever she lives for the rest of her life. (AP)

53-year-old Randall Casseday was arrested in a sting operation for soliciting a teenager on the internet for sex. How many times will people fall for this?
WASHINGTON (AP) – The human resources director of The Washington Times has been arrested on charges of soliciting a teenager for sex on the Internet.
D-C police say 53-year-old Randall Casseday of Dobbs Ferry, New York, was arrested Tuesday night in Northeast Washington.
He had allegedly arranged to meet what he believed was a 13-year-old girl he had been corresponding with in an online chat room. (630 WMAL)
For those who wish to continue these practices, one never knows whether its a 13 year old girl or a detective with the department’s Internet Crimes Against Children branch. Want to flip the coin?
Its pretty bad when your own employer, The Washington Times, covers your arrest and discusses in detailin their newspaper what you were being accused of and had participated in on line with what you perceived to be a 13 year old girl.
As set out in an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court today, Mr. Casseday, whose home address was listed in the unit block of Manner House Drive in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., initiated a conversation with the undercover officer in an online chat room.
The officer identified himself as a 13-year-old girl in the District, and Mr. Casseday identified himself as a 53-year-old man who usually lives in New York but was spending time in the District, the affidavit states.
The conversation included discussion of an explicit sexual nature. In the course of the conversation, Mr. Casseday sent via e-mail several graphic photographs of himself, and the police officer sent him a photograph described in the complaint as of “a young child in a bathing suit.” The two agreed to meet at 9:30 p.m.
Brian Bauman, a spokesman for The Washington Times, said that Mr. Casseday had been suspended without pay pending the results of the investigation.

Seems that Dallas neighborhood residents took matters into their own hand and dished out some much needed justice to 20 year old Brandon Scott Burke. Burke is accused of showing pornographic pictures to children on a playground.
About a dozen residents of a Dallas neighborhood beat a man after reports that he had been showing pornographic pictures to children on a playground, police said.
Brandon Scott Burke, 20, showed up Wednesday at an Oak Cliff apartment complex and was alleged to have shown a magazine with pictures of naked women to some of the children playing there, police said.
When it was discovered what he was doing, one mother screamed while other dished out some much deserved justice. However, just inflicting minor injuries to the suspect, too bad.
According to a police report, Burke said about 15 men “jumped him and hit him repeatedly on the face with their fists.” He suffered minor injuries, police said. (Houston Chronicle)

The murderer of the University of North Dakota student, Dru Sjodin, was sentenced to death. It became North Dakota’s first death penalty case in over a century. Alfonso Rodriguez Jr, received the sentence that he deserved. He will no longer be able to walk among us and harm innocent people.
Rodriguez, who got out of prison about six months before the killing, was charged under federal law because Sjodin was taken across state lines.
U.S. Attorney Drew Wrigley, in his statements to jurors, said the death penalty would be the “right thing, in the right case.” He stood near her portrait and asked for justice. Fox News)
