Memphis Dog-Walker Makes Chilling Discovery: Remains of Three Children

A dog-walker in Tennessee has unearthed a grim mystery, leading investigators to find the remains of three children in a case the Memphis police chief is describing as "disturbing." The Memphis Police Department disclosed on Wednesday that they've been investigating since March 8, following the discovery near a church and elementary school. The children, believed to be between the ages of 3 and 7, remain unidentified.

Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn Davis expressed deep concern, stating, "Someone knows about these missing children we've found here. It's heartbreaking, it's disturbing, and we’re dedicating ample resources to identify these young victims and resolve this case." Authorities believe the remains have been there for several years and assure there's no active threat to the public.

The police shared images of the ongoing operation, involving approximately 170 personnel, in collaboration with the Shelby County Medical Examiner’s Office, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, federal officials, and the Memphis Fire Department. They are meticulously searching the area between Ridgeway Road and Winchester Road for more evidence.

The case began on March 8 when an anonymous tip-off reported a possible skull near a wooded area. Officers responding to the scene confirmed what seemed to be a human skull at the edge of the woods. Shortly after, cadaver K-9 units signaled to a nearby drainage pipe, hinting at further remains.

On April 1, investigators found what appeared to be another skull in the drainage system. The following day, search parties unearthed fourteen more bones believed to be human remains. The identification process is still underway, as detectives strive to uncover the identities of these children and the circumstances of their deaths.

Local parent Laquita Singleterry shared her sorrow with FOX 13 Memphis, saying, "This is really heartbreaking. I hope they find who these children are." Fellow parent Tonya Richmond added, "It’s tragic that this happened in a community right across from a school… that children would be discarded like this."

Viral Video of Newsom's 2006 Outburst Resurfaces

A video from 2006 featuring California Governor Gavin Newsom has recently resurfaced and is now circulating widely on social media. The footage, originating from a time when Newsom was serving as San Francisco's mayor at age 38, captures a moment where he abruptly leaves an interview. This was after being questioned about allegations concerning giving alcohol to his 19-year-old girlfriend, Brittanie Mountz, during a public event.

The clip was featured on an episode of “Stu and Dave Do America,” hosted by BlazeTV personalities Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau, who found the incident comically entertaining. In the interview, Newsom is asked to comment on an incident involving the assault of Yale students in San Francisco over New Year's. Newsom highlights the importance for parents to responsibly address underage drinking. The conversation then shifts when a reporter asks about a San Francisco Chronicle column by Philip Matier and Andrew Ross, questioning whether Mountz had been consuming alcohol.

In response to the query, Newsom snaps back with, “Thank you very much. That was a great cheap shot,” before he leaves the interview. He further expresses frustration, remarking on the difficulty of maintaining a conversation due to the nature of such questions.

Stu remarks that the reporter's question seemed reasonable, while Dave acknowledges Newsom's honest call for responsible behavior regarding underage drinking. This prompts a humorous comparison to a “male flight attendant” serving alcohol.

Speculation arises regarding Newsom's behavior in the video, with some suggesting signs of substance use, though no drug charges have ever been filed against him. Dave humorously reflects on the potential implications of repeatedly addressing past actions concerning teenagers.

The full clip and additional commentary by Stu and Dave, packed with humor and lively exchanges, can be viewed in the episode mentioned above.

Suspect Allegedly Throws Chainsaw During Wild Car Chase in Washington

A harrowing police chase unfolded in Washington state when a suspect reportedly hurled a chainsaw at deputies during a high-speed pursuit. The event was captured on video, adding a dramatic layer to the already chaotic scene.

The incident kicked off just before midnight on April 19, when a woman reported her car was taken from an apartment complex in Parkland. A K9 deputy soon spotted the stolen vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. However, the driver refused to comply, speeding off and leading officers on a chase.

The pursuit, involving two suspects in the vehicle, moved onto Interstate 5 southbound. Footage and radio transmissions from the chase illustrated how rapidly the chaos unfolded.

Early on, a deputy noted minimal traffic ahead as speeds reached approximately 70 mph. The situation took a turn when a deputy unexpectedly radioed, announcing, "Just threw a chainsaw," warning that the passenger was tossing objects, and urging others to stay vigilant.

Officials stated that the suspect also tossed rope and climbing gear onto the road, significantly increasing the danger for deputies in pursuit. The chase veered precariously off Interstate 5 towards Joint Base Lewis-McChord. As they exited towards a logistics gate, the stolen car got stuck near a roundabout.

Captured audio and video revealed the moment the chase halted, with an officer declaring, "He’s stuck… get set up around here," as units swiftly moved to surround the area.

Both suspects abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot. Deputies broadcasted a description of the driver: "black pants, white shirt," while setting up a perimeter.

Utilizing a K9 unit to track the suspects, an officer is heard clearly warning through video, "My dog will find you, he will bite you," offering the suspect a chance to surrender. Moments later, the K9 located the passenger, with the video capturing the intense standoff as deputies converged, shouting repeated commands until the suspect was apprehended.

The 31-year-old passenger was treated at a hospital for a dog bite and is expected to face multiple charges, including first-degree assault for allegedly throwing objects and chainsaw at deputies, vehicle theft tools possession, and attempting to evade law enforcement.

The 28-year-old driver initially evaded capture but was later detained by military police on the base. He faces charges of felony eluding and motor vehicle theft.
