Investigators say 24-year-old Frederick Scott is out on bail, but he shouldn’t be.  Scott was mistakenly released after he was arrested and charged with first degree murder.  On March 4, Prince George’s County Police say Scott is responsible for the shooting death of Phillip Watson of Southeast.

On May 5, Scott was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada and was extradited to Maryland to stand trial.  He was supposed to stay behind bars until his trial with no bail, but due to a “clerical error” made in the county courts, Scott was released.  Police say he posted a $75,000 bail and hasn’t been seen since.

If you have any information, please contact the Prince George’s County Police Homicide Unit: (301) 772.4925

UPDATE: ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENT MURDER

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010
Remembering Kyleigh Sousa
Remembering Kyleigh Sousa

The spring semester had just come to a close, and the Memorial Day weekend was on the horizon for Kyleigh Sousa. The 21-year-old Arizona State University student was on her way to grab a bite to eat with a friend around 2 a.m. when her life changed forever. Tempe Police Sgt. Steve Carbajal said that Kyleigh was approached by a “brazen criminal” who was driving a silver Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger.  He was described as being Hispanic and heavy-set. 

After talking to Kyleigh, the suspect grabbed her purse and she became entangled. Kyleigh was dragged by the vehicle, hit her head, and died. Sgt. Carbajal added, “She didn’t have an opportunity to get away” and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Now that school is back in session at Arizona State, the manhunt continues to find her killer.  Sgt. Carbajal told me this week that althought there have not been any public updates on the case, investigators are working every angle possible and hopefully the right lead will come in to put them on the killers track.

KRISTI CORNWELL, ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ABDUCTION (new letter details)

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

MISSING: Kristi Cornwell

MISSING: Kristi Cornwell

Hard to believe it’s been one year since Kristi Cornwell was abducted in Georgia. Kristi’s mom, Jo Ann Cornwell, told me over the phone on Tuesday, “I am not giving up hope, I have not been given any reason to believe she is not alive… it hurts my heart.”

The last anyone heard from Kristi was one year ago today when she was exercising in Blairsville.  Investigators say around 9:00 p.m. Kristi was on the phone with her boyfriend, who was in Atlanta at the time, when a car approached her. There was a struggle, and she was never seen again.  A reward of $50,000 is offered for information leading to the safe return of Kristi, or the arrest/conviction of the person responsible for her disappearance. 

Kristi’s family is extremely proactive in this case.  They started a website, they have frequent, sometimes daily searches of the area where she went missing, and they even auctioned off the family’s lake house property over the weekend to raise money to help find this missing mother.  More than 80,000 post cards have been purchased and distributed with Kristi’s face on them.  “Somebody out there has got to know something, or someone has seen something and doesn’t think it’s important yet,” said Jo Ann.

REMEMBERING TAMPA OFFICERS, AND HUNTING DOWN THEIR KILLER

Thursday, July 1st, 2010
Dontae Morris WANTED
Dontae Morris WANTED

A manhunt is underway in Tampa, Florida where police say Dontae Rashawn Morris, 24, shot and killed two of their own.  Jeffrey Kocab and David Curtis, both 31, were gunned down on Tuesday morning during a traffic stop around 2:15 a.m.  Both officers passed away later that morning at the hospital.  Morris was the passenger in a car driven by Cortnee Brantley, 21.  Investigators tracked Brantley down and questioned her for hours before releasing her.

Authorities say even though Morris had a warrant for his arrest, he was still released from prison back in April.  He has a long rap sheet dating back to when he was only 16, and charges ranging from drug possession to attempted murder.  At this point, there is a $100,000 reward for his arrest. Investigators are also looking to find Dwayne Daniel Callaway, Morris’ 21-year-old brother.  Although his warrant isn’t for the shooting, it is for violation of his probation on a domestic battery charge.

KYRON HORMAN’S FAMILY RELEASE BRAND NEW VIDEO AND PHOTOS

Friday, June 25th, 2010

For the first time ever we are finally hearing Kyron Horman’s voice and are able to see his mannerisms.  Kyron’s family released brand new video and 200 pictures of the missing child late last night, and his biological mother and father spoke out this morning on the national networks.  His mom, Desiree Young, said her son had poor vision and couldn’t see very far in front of him, so he’s known to stick close to home.  Today marks the three week anniversary since he was last seen, and nearly 3,000 tips have poured in on this case.  The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office collected questionnaires from parents, students and staff of Skyline Elementary School in Portland, Oregon last weekend.  The information was geared towards hopefully uncovering new leads that will help find the missing 7-year-old.  Investigators passed out the forms one week ago and requested the information back at the end of last weekend.  Kyron disappeared on June 4, 2010 after his step-mother Terri Moulton-Horman dropped him off at his school after a morning science fair.  A person of interest and suspect has not been named in this case, but investigators have said this is now a criminal investigation.   Lt. Mary Lindstrand of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office told me that the official search efforts to track Kyron Horman shifted, and the new flier released will hopefully lead to clues.
