Texas Police Shoot Dead Mother After She Killed Her Two Daughters

[From article]
Taylor Sheats who was gunned down along with her sister, Madison, by her own mother on Friday was to have been married today.
Daily Mail Online has learned that Taylor, 22, had planned to marry her fiancé, her boyfriend of four years, Juan Sebastian Lugo in a small ceremony today.
The couple then planned to have a larger wedding ceremony after her graduation from college.
Instead, her grieving fiancé's sister, Maria, was left to post a tribute to the dead girl on what should have been the start of her married life.[. . .]
The heartbreaking development comes as new details have emerged of the horrific events that took place in a quiet family neighborhood in Katy, Texas, last week when Christy Byrd Sheats, 42, killed her daughters, shooting them down in the street outside the family home when an argument spilled over into violence.
Now Daily Mail Online has learned that husband, Jason, 45, only narrowly escaped becoming his wife's third victim when a neighbor opened her door to him allowing him to run to safety.
The neighbor, who asked not to be named, told of how she opened her door on hearing gunshots only to be confronted with the image of Christy pointing her gun directly at her husband, Jason.
She revealed: 'She went to shoot but had run out of bullets. When she went to reload Jason ran into our house and said "Call 911."'
Recalling the horrific events that took place in the quiet, family oriented neighborhood last week, the neighbor said: 'Christy had stabbed the girls before she shot them.
'I looked out and I saw her standing over one of the girls with the gun pointed at her and she shot her as she lay on the ground.'


Christy Sheats (pictured) was killed by a responding police officer after she refused to drop her pistol.

Visibly distressed by what she had witnessed the woman described Madison, 17, and Taylor, 22, as 'good girls' but said that there had been 'issues' with Christy for a long time.
She said: 'She should never have had a gun – Jason is a nice man but there were issues with her.'
Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office on Monday released further details about the events of Friday afternoon and the circumstances leading up to the fatal shootings.
A deputy from Ford Bend County Sheriff’s Office and an officer from nearby Fulshear responded to the shooting at about 5pm to be confronted with the horrendous scene of both Madison and Taylor lying, dead and dying, in the road – Christy Sheats was still holding the gun – a .38 caliber handgun - and refused to put it down.
The Fulshear police officer fired a single shot and killed her.
Investigators have now learned that it was Christy who called her family together earlier that day for a family meeting inside their home.
Jason and daughters Madison and Taylor joined Christy in the living room. It was during that meeting that Christy held up a gun and shot both girls.
The girls and their father managed to get out of the house but Madison collapsed and died on the street outside.
Her father ran to the end of the cul-de-sac as his wife followed behind, chasing Taylor and shooting her another time.
Jason managed to escape suffering the same fate when a neighbor opened her door to him, saving his life.
Meanwhile his wife had returned to the family home, reloaded and returned to the street to shoot Taylor where she lay.[. . .]
The Sheriff’s Office has revealed that they responded to 14 calls to the Sheats’s residence since January 2012.
Some calls were alarm issues, they said. They refused to give details of the other calls citing legal reasons.
Neighbor Geno Hernandez, 42, recalled the Sheats as 'good neighbors' and revealed that Taylor had been away at college and was only visiting her parents and sister to celebrate her father's birthday that Friday.
He said: 'I watched the girls grow up here since they were about 10 years old – they used to play out on the street here. Taylor was into softball.
'They were friends with my son. Jason and the girls were always friendly, they'd always wave when they went past but Christy kept to herself.
'When we were having barbeques in the street she would never take part. I don't know whey they separated when they did but she had only quite recently moved back.
'You just kind of got the impression with her [Christy] it was all about her – all the selfies and what have you. She was very into herself.'
The mom, who was shot dead by a police officer after fatally wounding her daughters, had a history of mental illness and altercations. She and Jason, 45, had only recently reunited after a separation.
Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Caitilin Espinosa told People that officers had been to the Sheats' home 'for previous altercations'

Florida Gentleman Tries To Kidnap Teenage Girl Who Was Shopping With Her Mother

Blaming psychiatry. Yes, that is the cause of crime. All crazy people are violent and dangerous, just ask Hillary Clinton the first woman, blah, blah, blah. All it takes is one psychiatrist or a psychologist employed by police or a crime family to say, "The subject is dangerous and will be violent in the future." Judges enable this misguided abuse of the courts and waste of taxpayer money. Shame, shame on the continued institutionalized slurring of all persons accused of psychiatry, and made up illnesses. The gentleman who tried to kidnap the teen is an evil man, a criminal. 

[From article]
Shocking video footage shows a 30-year-old man trying to kidnap a teenager by dragging her across the floor of a Dollar General store in Florida while her mother desperately tried to stop him.
Craig Bonello was seen shopping in the store when he suddenly grabbed the 13-year-old girl, who was shopping with her mother in Hernando just before noon on Tuesday.
Bonello, who was stopped outside the store by an off duty sheriff's deputy, will be charged with kidnapping and child abuse.
Bonello appeared to be pushing a shopping cart loaded with goods when he circled around an aisle and suddenly grabbed the teenager, whose name is being withheld.
The Citrus County Sheriff's Office credited the girl's heroic mother, who followed Bonello and desperately tried to snatch her daughter in a 'tug of war', NBC reported.
According to WFAA, the mother eventually lay on top of the teen to prevent Bonello from dragging her out the store.
'In my 10 years on the road I have never seen anything like this. He truly intended to abduct this child right in front of everyone in the store,' Sergeant Craig Callahan said in a statement.
'It actually was violent enough to tear the girl's shirt up pretty badly that she was wearing,' Callahan added.
'We're very fortunate that the mother had the motherly instinct and did what she did. She may have saved her daughter's life.'
The manager yelled as Bonello tried to flee, and off-duty deputy Jonathan Behnen happened to be walking into the store after spending the morning in court.
Behnen blocked the 30-year-old's car as he tried to drive off and eventually arrested him.
No one was injured, and an investigation is ongoing.
Bonello's uncle suggested the man was suffering from mental illness, saying: 'It's just sad that this has happened, because this is not the kid that grew up with my kids.
'He needs to talk to some psychiatrists and find out what the issue is,' Tony Bonello said.
Bonello, who has several misdemeanors on his record, was most recently arrested for trespassing at a Walmart in February.

Daughter of US Congressman Uses Official License Plates For Lyft Ride Sharing

Representative Elijah Cummings' daughter Adia (pictured together at her graduation) used his car with Congressional plates while working for Lyft.

[From article]

Thousands of drivers work part-time for Lyft to make a little bit of extra money on the side, but not many of them are congressmen earning a $174,000 salary.
So it's no wonder eyebrows were raised when Democrat Elijah Cummings' Honda - complete with Congressional plates - was spotted picking up cab fares around Washington, DC.
The black car carrying a sticker for the car service app was spotted by eagle-eyed Lyft user Dustin Andres, who asked: 'So, which member of Congress drives Lyft in DC?'
The vehicle was carrying plates for Maryland's 7th Congressional District - which Cummings represents - as well as the pink Lyft logo.
However, it has since emerged that his daughter was the mystery taxi driver.
When questioned about the car, Cummings told the Washington Post that his daughter, Adia, was working part-time for Lyft to help pay her for college.
'In an effort to earn some extra money to pay her expenses at school, she signed up for a part-time position with one of the ride-sharing companies,' the congressman said.
'They, in turn, gave her a sticker to apply to the windshield of the car,' he added.
The plates allow drivers to park cars in designated areas near certain buildings in Washington, DC, including the Capitol.
Cummings says he has asked Adia to remove the plates but said she could continue to use the car, which he owns and is not taxpayer-funded.
Adia is looking for a job after graduating from Howard University in May.
'My daughter has now graduated from Howard and I could not be more proud of her,' Cummings told CNN.
'I have told her she can continue to use my car while she pursues full-time employment,' he added.
Lyft drivers do not have to own the car they use, but they must be insured.

FBI Agent and Daughter Charged With Killing Her Husband

Molly Martens and Thomas Martens having lunch at a Mexican Restaurant on January 6th, 2016 - a day after they were charged with the murder of Jason Corbett, Molly's husband.


Molly's husband, 39-year-old Jason Corbett suffered fatal head injuries on August 2 at his house near Winston-Salem in North Carolina.

[From article]
Molly Martens and her father Thomas have formally pleaded not guilty to charges relating to the ‘heinous, atrocious and cruel’ murder of Jason Corbett.
The pair entered pleas of not guilty to second degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of the Limerick man at his home near Winston-Salem in North Carolina last August.
A beleaguered-looking Ms Martens wore two braids in her blonde hair, which she wore down.
Mr Corbett, a 39-year-old father of two, suffered fatal head injuries at his luxury suburban home in Panther Creek Court.
The father of two’s autopsy showed he died from blunt force trauma to his head.
The description of the ‘means of death’ is a ‘ball bat and landscaping stone’.
Ms Martens’s father, Thomas, made a 911 call from Mr Corbett’s family home at 3.05am on the night the Limerick man was killed and claimed to the operator there had been an argument between Jason and Molly.
‘He was choking my daughter, he said he was going to kill her,’ Mr Martens alleged in the recorded call.
The defence maintains the actions of the accused were ‘reasonable and necessary in self-defence’ of Ms Martens’s life and that of her father.
In addition to questions about the use of the baseball bat, detectives are expected to focus on the time of death and blood spatter patterns at the home.
After his death, his Limerick-based family successfully fought Ms Martens for custody of Mr Corbett’s two children from his first marriage.
Jack and Sarah Corbett are now living in Ireland with his sister-in-law Tracey Lynch and her husband David.
Ms Martens, a 31-year-old former model and her ex-FBI agent father, 65, presented themselves to the Davidson County district attorney by appointment on January 5 and surrendered themselves to answer the charges.
After being arrested, photographed and fingerprinted last month the pair were taken in handcuffs before the Superior Court.
Both applied for bail, which was not opposed, and was granted on the condition that $200,000 is lodged with the court for each defendant, that they surrender their passports and agree to cease all contact with Mr Corbett’s immediate family, specifically his children Jack and Sarah.
At the hearing yesterday, Mr Brown said both the prosecutors and defence have tried to get copies of the personnel file of Mr Martens, a former FBI agent, but could not obtain copies without a court order, which the judge granted.

Massachusetts Gentleman Convicted of Abusing His Step-Daughters

Justin Ladd

[From article]
A 35-year-old North Andover man who is covered in “white power” tattoos will serve four to five years in prison for beating, berating and sexually abusing his stepdaughters, which prosecutors said was a racially motivated crime.
Justin Ladd pleaded guilty yesterday to 32 counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, indecent assault and battery, open and gross lewdness, and assaulting a person because of that person’s race.
[. . .]
Ladd adorned the girl’s home with swastikas and ordered them to give him a “Nazi salute” prosecutors said.
“Ladd repeatedly abused his two stepdaughters, whose father is Dominican, by telling them if they ‘aren’t white, they aren’t right,’ ordering them to dance like monkeys, throwing them against the wall, hitting them with a hammer, belt or piece of wood, twisted their tongues with pliers, exposing his genitals to the girls, and threatening to have the Hell’s Angels rape and kill them if they told anyone,” prosecutors said in a statement.
The girls’ mother Anne Ladd, 32, pleaded guilty to two counts of reckless endangerment of a child and two counts of permitting bodily injury to a child. She was sentenced to five years’ probation, and will only be allowed supervised visits with her children in that time.
The girls, now 15 and 17, were abused from 2008 to 2012, prosecutors said.

British Gentle Lady With Daughter Convicted of Attempted Murder of Husband

[From article]
A British woman who tried to kill her husband by poisoning his Christmas drink of sparkling fruit wine with antifreeze was jailed for 15 years Monday after being undone by a spelling mistake and a trail of text messages.
Following family arguments, Jacqueline Patrick, 55, twice tried to kill her husband Douglas, 70, in October and on Christmas Day 2013, by spiking his cherry Lambrini, a drink favored by teenagers looking to get drunk on a low budget.
“Perhaps most shocking of all was the note she gave to the London Ambulance Service purporting to be from her husband, stating that he did not wish to be resuscitated,” Detective Inspector Tracey Miller, of London’s Metropolitan Police, said in a statement.
The forged note showed a misspelling of the word dignity as “dignerty.” When police later asked her to write the word, Jacqueline Patrick made the same mistake.

Blaming Mental Illness for Homicide, New York Lawyer Daughter Kills Mother

Suzan Grossman-Kerner (center) is led out of police headquarters in Mineola on Tuesday.

Photo: Victoralcorn.com

Here's another example of lawyers using psychiatric diagnoses as a defense for homicide. It shows that some people will say anything for money. There is no causal connection between a psychiatric diagnosis and crime or violence. Lawyers become judges who continue to promote this misguided fantasy, a means of covering up violence by evil humans who know no respect for others and have little concern for right and wrong. At the same time these evil court room bullies slander all persons who have ever been accused of mental illness, demonizing vulnerable persons with disabilities. In his book The Secret Life of Bill Clinton, about police, courts, FBI and political corruption, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard reveals how the lives of many good and honest policemen and policewomen, informants, prosecutors, judges had their lives destroyed by high level corrupt individuals in state and US government agencies. Two teens were killed to protect drug riddled Arkansas government. One US judge was murdered. In all these and other cases, law abiding civilians had their careers destroyed by use of psychiatric diagnoses. It is an abuse few ordinary civilians understand,  how depraved psychiatrists can be.

[From article]
Grossman-Kerner’s attorney, Todd Greenberg, said she was very distraught.
“She is an attorney and is very upset and a very decent person despite what happened here,” he said. “She has a mental illness and we will deal with this within the court system.”

Daughter Of World War II Slave Laborer Finds Mother, 91, Living In Italy

Photo: Its-arolsen.org
Thanks to the help of the International Tracing Service, Margot Bachmann found her mother alive and well at age 91 in Italy, 70 years after they were separated by the Nazis.

[From article]
“I wanted to find out who my mother was, to see if we were alike, maybe find some photos and some information,” Bachmann said in an ITS press release. “I never dared to hope that I would be able to hold her in my arms. Now I’m overjoyed that she’s doing well and I got to meet her.”
Bachmann’s mother, identified as Gianna, was a forced laborer taken from Italy to work in Germany during the war. During her time there, she fell in love with a German soldier and got pregnant. Bachmann was subsequently born in October 1944, but Nazi authorities severed the mother’s parental rights the next month.
After the war ended, Gianna returned home, believing that her daughter and lover had died in the war. In
truth, Bachmann was saved from an orphanage by her father, who already had a wife, and raised by that couple, eventually becoming the older sister to seven others.
[. . .]

Gianna ended up sentenced to life working in a military installation. She was 20 at the time of Bachmann’s birth and had no idea her lover already had a wife.
Meanwhile, Bachmann was raised by her Germany family, forbidden to ask too many questions about her mother. She was told that her mother was Italian and was led to believe that she was dead.
“Even as a child, I had the sense that something wasn’t right,” said Bachmann, who now lives near Frankfurt. She said she only got the courage to look for her birth mother years after her father, whom she described as strict, died.
Aided by her own daughters, she tracked down her birth certificate and ended up with the ITS, an archive and documentation center that tracks Nazi persecution and the fates of those who survived. The trip to Novellara came quickly after that, during which she met multiple other relatives. An additional visit is already being planned.

New York State Mother Drowns Trying To Rescue Daughter And Her Friend in Lake Erie

Hero: Creighton (photo above) rushed into the rough waters of Lake Erie when she realized the girls were having a tough time swimming. Officials recovered her body about a mile away.

[From article]
A heroic 51-year-old mother tragically drowned after trying to rescue two young girls, one of whom which was her daughter, from Lake Erie on Thursday evening.
Authorities identified the mother as Mary E. Creighton of Buffalo, New York.
The girls, ages 10 and 11, began struggling in the dangerous waters about 100 yards from shore when the woman rushed in to try and help them.
WGRZ reported the water was extremely rough with waves between five and seven feet high, making it difficult for rescuers to try and save all three of them.
[. . .]
A bystander helped the 10-year-old girl make it back to shore and told police that there were still two people in the water who needed help.
'My officers immediately started running and looking up and down the beach,' Evans Police Chief Ernie Masullo told WGRZ.
'They did notice a young girl bobbing in the water. One of my lieutenants stripped his uniform, stripped his firearm and ran into the water about a 100 yards out and grabbed the girl.
'He became in trouble and one of my other officers ran in and rescued both of them.'

Maryland Gentleman Charged With Homicide of Teen Stepdaughter

Melissa Skye Collins, 17

A western Maryland man has been charged with murdering his 17-year-old stepdaughter after her body was found hidden his basement on Wednesday, police say.
A neighbor flagged down officers in Hagerstown, Maryland on Wednesday afternoon to report that Melissa Skye Collins hadn't made it to school that morning and hadn't been seen since 7.30am.
Officers became suspicious of her step-father Ernie Chase when they interviewed him and he refused to let them inside.
After obtaining a search warrant several hours later, police discovered Melissa's body 'concealed within the house,' according to police.
[. . .]
Her biological father, Lynn Hassinger [. . .] who lives two hours north of Hagerstown in Pennsylvania, said that she told him that she was scared of her stepfather because he was a violent person.
But, she decided to live with her mother and stepfather in Maryland so that she could look after her little sister and two younger brothers.
Melissa was a senior at North Hagerstown High School who was set to graduate on June 6. She was preparing to attend Messiah College, a Christian liberal arts school in eastern Pennsylvania that she picked because it was close enough that she could be near her family.
Her devastated father is beside himself with grief at losing his daughter.

Updated: Retired New York Policeman Shoots Dead Two Teen Daughters, Himself; Removed Wife, Daughter From Pension Death Benefits

Glen Hochman, who spent 22 years as a While Plains officer, filed retirement papers on Jan. 30 — about three weeks before the bloodbath — that intentionally left the beneficiary section blank, sources said.
“It’s the most selfish final insult,” said a family friend from Harrison. “It’s reckless and insulting for any man to leave their family high and dry like that, by choosing the zero option on their pension.
“But for him to do that and then kill his children, that’s pure evil. He effectively stole the future away from the family he left behind.”
Hochman, 52, executed daughters Alissa, 17, and Deanna, 13, in their sleep on Saturday before killing the three family dogs and then turning the gun on himself.
He typed a hateful suicide note that included taunts to his wife, Anamarie, 50, warning her to be financially responsible — even though he knew she would be broke.
He left a second note at the Windward School in White Plains where he worked security and Deanna was a student.
Sources said Anamarie — who wanted a separation

The day before a decorated retired cop gunned down his two teenage daughters and killed himself, his wife went to the local police station to report a “domestic incident” at the home, sources told The Post on Sunday.

Anamarie Hochman, 50, wanted an official report to document the argument she’d had the night before with husband Glen, 52, at their Adelphi Avenue house in leafy Harrison, the sources said.
The wife did not want her husband arrested, and told Harrison cops that he’d apologized for the dispute, a disagreement over a cell phone bill. But the dispute had so disturbed her that she wanted it documented.
Just one day later, on Saturday, the worried wife, who was at the Mohegan Sun casino with the eldest daughter, Samantha, 22, called the cops and asked for a wellness check at the home.

The dead daughters were Alissa, 17, a 12th grader, and Deanna, 13, who was in the seventh grade.

Teen Daughter of NJ State Policeman Not Charged With Crime Expressing Threats Against Jews

[From article]
A State Police sergeant's teenage daughter who dressed like Hitler and posted on social media a picture of a popular gathering spot for Orthodox Jews — with the caption "perfect bombing time" — may have behaved offensively, but not criminally, authorities said.
The Ocean County Prosecutor's Office examined the Twitter post and a cache of other pro-Hitler images by the Jackson teen and her associates and concluded that they did not amount to any credible threat.

Teenager Plans to Marry Her Father, And Live In NJ Where It's Legal

[From interview article]
In the late '80s, the founder of a support group for adopted children who had recently reconnected with their biological relatives coined the term “Genetic Sexual Attraction” (GSA) to describe the intense romantic and sexual feelings that she observed occurring in many of these reunions. According to an article in The Guardian, experts estimate that these taboo feelings occur in about 50 percent of cases where estranged relatives are reunited as adults (GSA’s discoverer had herself become attracted to the son she’d adopted out when she met him 26 years later, but her feelings were not reciprocated).
Though the research is scarce, those who have studied GSA offer a range of possible explanations for it, including a primordial feeling of always having “belonged” to the estranged relative, a sense of wanting to experience the bonding missed out on during childhood, or simply an overwhelming closeness based on similarities: like meeting a mate who was designed for you in a science lab. Perhaps GSA accounts for Kevin Gates’s attraction to his first cousin.

What It’s Like to Date Your Dad

By Alexa Tsoulis-Reay

[From article]
The woman says he father was in and out of her life mostly when she was young. She recalls wondering where he was and why she hadn't hear from him. There was no contact for 12 years and she did not finally meet him again until she was 17.
Her father reached out to her on Facebook when she was in high school and soon after, the woman went to stay with him for a week.
After the week, the 18-year-old revealed they had sex and were dating after.
Many people were aware of the situation.
"Everyone on my mom’s side of the family sees us as father and daughter," she told the magazine. "Those who know that he’s my dad, and that we are engaged, include my father’s parents (they can see we are happy together and they can’t wait for us to have babies — they treat us just like any other couple), the woman we live with, and my best friend."
After the wedding, the woman says they plan to move to New Jersey where adult incest is legal.

NY Grandfather Stole Damage Award For Death Of Son, From Granddaughter

[From article]
A heartless Long Island grandpa stole a $2 million wrongful-death payout from his dead son’s young daughter — and blew it on a luxury car, a new house and a nightclub investment before his arrest last week, officials said.
“I was really happy that my grandfather was arrested and put in jail because he deserves it,” Rebecca Schaefer, now 13, told the Post. “I’m so angry with him for what he did.”
Gary Eriksen, whose son, Scott, died in police custody in 2005, secured the windfall in 2011 after filing a federal police-brutality lawsuit and presenting himself as the next of kin.
But the greedy grandfather never mentioned the existence of Scott’s daughter, Rebecca, and tried to cut her out of the cash when she emerged in 2012, her lawyer told The Post.

Cosby Diverted Attention From His Swinging Ways In Las Vegas

What woman could resist that shirt and tie?

[From article]
Bill Cosby is a horrible human being — even when he isn’t allegedly drugging and raping women — according to detractors.
A journalist I’ve known for many years recalls a sordid tale about Cosby in the summer of 1989, when the reporter was working for the National Enquirer.
The supermarket weekly had a solid story about Cosby — whose show was No. 1 in TV ratings and who was viewed as a perfect father figure — “swinging with Sammy Davis Jr. and some showgirls in Las Vegas,” the reporter, who didn’t want to be named, told me yesterday.
Contacted by the Enquirer for comment, Cosby apparently handed the weekly a story about his then-23-year-old daughter Erinn’s battle with drug and alcohol abuse instead.
“My editor told me that daddy Cosby was the source. He ratted out his flesh and blood,” said my source.

Former Employee of Sen. Edward Kennedy Killed In Mali, Daughter Arrested

Tragic: The body of Sheila von Wiese Mack, pictured last year, was found beaten and bruised, crammed into a suitcase that the young couple had left in the trunk of a taxi before apparently fleeing through the hotel's rear exit.

[From article]
Friends of a widow beaten to death and stuffed in a suitcase at a Bali resort say they warned her not to take her troublesome teenage daughter along on the dream vacation.
The news comes as it emerged police had been called to victim Sheila von Wiese Mack's suburban Chicago home some 86 times to break up fights between the wealthy academic and her daughter, Heather Mack, 19, a college drop out who was 'hanging out with a bad crowd' and had recently moved into a hotel.

Teen: Ms Mack, recently graduated high school

The two had an often tempestuous relationship, recalled close friend Mark Bacharach, and had been fighting prior to the vacation at the luxury St. Regis hotel on the Indonesian island resort.
But Mrs Mack tracked down her daughter, and despite the fact she 'barely recognized her anymore' the two set off on the 10-day-plus trip to the other side of the globe, where the 62-year-old ultimately met a grisly end.
[. . .]
The Jakarta Globe reported that the driver told police he had gone to the hotel to pick up Mrs Mack and her daughter - whose full name was given by police as Lois Heather Mack - and Ms Mack's boyfriend.
The young couple loaded the large suitcase into the boot, before going back into the luxury hotel - but they did not come back out again.
After waiting for two hours, the driver was advised by the hotel staff to report the matter to the police. It is believed that the suitcase was leaking blood by this point.
He drove to Kuta Police Station, where officers opened the suitcase and found Mrs Mack's body inside.
'The body was wrapped in a hotel bedsheet and tied up with duct tape,' said Inspector Djoko. 'There were blood stains all over the sheet.'
Two smaller suitcases were found in the St. Regis' garden both containing hotel towels with blood on them, police said.
[. . .]
A doctor there said the victim had suffered several wounds to the head, which appeared to have been inflicted with 'blunt tools'.
'Looking at the wounds, the victim must have fought back,' said Ida Bagus Alit, adding that one of her fingers on her left hand was broken and there were bruises on her wrists.
[. . .]
The Minnesota-born Mrs Mack studied political science at Simmons College in Boston before getting a job with Senator Ted Kennedy, she told the Caxton Club, a book collectors group, in an interview last year.
'He had me doing research for him, and lots of miscellaneous jobs the political life requires. I even poured tea for Rose Kennedy a time or two.'
[. . .]
She also later worked with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, she said in the interview. Later, she did a PHD at the University of Chicago, studying with Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Saul Bellow for 10 years.
Mrs Mack is also the widow of the late Chicago composer and conductor James L.Mack, who died in August 2006.
