COLD-BLOODED Killer Still Roams Free: 16 Years of Heartbreak in Tinley Park
— On February 2, 2008, a man pretending to be a delivery driver entered a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois. Armed with a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun, he forced six women into a back room. After tying their hands with duct tape and assaulting one woman, he shot all six victims.
Amazingly, one woman survived and gave police a description of the suspect. Despite thousands of leads over the past 16 years, authorities have yet to catch him. The suspect is described as a Black man between 25 and 35 years old at the time of the crime, standing just over six feet tall with corn-rowed hair and green beads on one braid.
Grainy surveillance footage showed two dark vehicles near the scene during the murders. However, it is unclear if either vehicle was used by the attacker. The tragic event claimed five lives: Jennifer Bishop, Carrie Chiuso, Rhoda McFarland, Sarah Szafranski, and Connie Woolfolk.
The Tinley Park Police continue to seek justice for these victims while urging anyone with information to come forward. This cold-blooded case remains unsolved despite extensive efforts by law enforcement agencies for more than a decade.
INFAMOUS French Serial Killer Charles Sobhraj WALKS Free
— Charles Sobhraj, the infamous French serial killer known for murdering at least a dozen Western tourists in Asia during the 1970s, is now free. He recently shared his story in a televised interview. “He likes to have the attention put on him,” said retired detective Jackie Malton.
Sobhraj, 80, is believed to have killed at least 20 people across Afghanistan, India, Thailand, Turkey, Nepal, Iran and Hong Kong. He earned the nickname “bikini killer” due to his ruthless methods and lack of empathy.
In 2004, Sobhraj was sentenced to life in prison in Nepal for killing American tourist Connie Jo Bronzich in 1975. A decade later, he was also found guilty of killing her Canadian companion Laurent Carrière.
PROTESTERS TARGET DNC With ‘Killer Kamala’ Banner
— Protesters are making their presence known ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) where Vice President Kamala Harris is set to accept her party’s nomination against former President Donald Trump. A massive banner reading “KILLER KAMALA” was displayed by demonstrators surrounding the DNC Welcome Party.
The protest comes after a demonstrator managed to crash the party, setting a confrontational tone for the event. Hatem Abudayyeh, spokesperson for the coalition organizing the march, stated that “tens of thousands” will be in the streets.
Abudayyeh mentioned that nearly 270 organizations from across America have joined forces to march on the DNC. The coalition demands an end to U.S. aid to Israel and calls for Palestinian freedom.
The protest is scheduled to start at Union Park at noon on August 19, with participants planning to fight for their rights and their route until 2 p.m.
SHOCKING Negligence: Detroit Police FAILURES Allowed Serial Killer to Roam Free
— Last year, DeAngelo Martin, a notorious serial killer who lured women into vacant homes in Detroit to commit heinous crimes, was finally imprisoned for four murders and two rapes. However, an extensive investigation by the Associated Press has unveiled a disturbing truth. Over a span of 15 years, the Detroit police neglected crucial leads and investigative steps that could have halted Martin’s murderous rampage. Despite numerous warnings about Martin’s violent behavior, the police were far from being as “diligent” or “relentless” as they had claimed before.
The AP’s meticulous investigation hinged on interviews, court documents and records sourced from prosecutors and police departments. This included an internal affairs report obtained via public information requests. The probe revealed significant lapses in how the Detroit police managed this high-profile case.
Retired homicide detective Jim Trainum expressed his shock at these findings: “It’s astonishing,“ he said. ”All the police had to do was one little thing here or there...and these women would still be alive.” These revelations have ignited serious concerns about policing standards in Detroit.

Acting Warden Howard Holland unveiled surveillance footage of Cavalcante’s escape during a press briefing. The video captures the moment when Cavalcante scales a wall and braves through razor wire to make his audacious exit.
Cavalcante’s breakout commenced at 8:33 a.m., as he mingled with other inmates in the exercise yard. By 9:45 a.m., prison officers reported him missing—an unsettling indication of severe lapses in prison security measures.

SERIAL KILLER’S Rampage: Detroit Police’s Shocking Inaction Ignored Warnings, Led to Heartbreaking Tragedy
— DeAngelo Martin, a convicted serial killer, was found guilty of four murders and two rapes last year. The Associated Press has recently uncovered shocking information about the case. It appears that the Detroit police were not as diligent in their pursuit of justice as they should have been. Over a span of 15 years, they neglected to follow up on leads or take necessary investigative steps that could have put an end to Martin’s reign of terror.
Despite being warned repeatedly about Martin’s violent tendencies, the police failed to act accordingly. Jim Trainum, a retired homicide detective from Washington D.C., who now reviews police investigations for potential wrongful convictions stated: “All it would’ve taken was one simple action...and these women might still be alive today.”
The AP investigation revealed these disturbing oversights through interviews and an examination of court documents and records from prosecutors and law enforcement officials. The first major lapse occurred in 2004 when evidence from a rape case ended up forgotten in a warehouse full of similar kits for years. By the time this case was reopened, it was too late – the victim had already passed away.
